This chicky-babe is a Mac woman.
Only once did I purchase a Toshiba PC. It was because of the diversity of software way back when.

As soon as the software developers wised up and made software for both, I quickly became forever friends with me Macs.

TargeT, that philosophy is absolutely awesome (hagakure). Glad you brought it.up. If applied diligently it can change one's life.

I worked in a hospital once as a companion. I can't tell you how many death bed regrets I heard. And they werent that profound; they were simple. For example, more than one patient reported that they regretted not having the courage to dance more. I'm not kidding. So whenever i'm at a wedding or an event of some sort, i'm the first guy on the dance floor. I'm determined to have a goofy good time. And since ive shed this pretension or embarrassment or whatever was stopping me, ive had a much better time! I'm doing it for me, but I feel like I'm doing it for all those patients too. It's just a small example, but it makes me feel good.

Yippee! Despite being a Mac boy, this is still my favourite converter, Hervé/RunningDeer (and it's a really tiny file). The newer Macs will do this (sorta) and language conversion too as part of their standard basic system tools.

Dear Mac boy,

Well lookie there. The widget is on the Dashboard that I never remember to use. Thanks for the reminder. I agree, it's tiny (and limited in scope).

There’s a boat load of widgets here, and 118 in the category of ‘Calculate and Convert’.

With heart,
Chickie-babe/Mac Woman

After having overdosed on propaganda speeches last night I was in need of here and now reality, like that nearly multilated hummingbird nest.

And here you can see how we tied a sheltering branch to the original branch.

last time I was on the dance floor I was whacked on shrooms and half cut....at my dad's wedding.

A fun time was had at the old hall that night.

That's what it takes to get me on the dance floor, cuz:

(Of course, since I admit taking shrooms, and drinking, at least once, this means that all redneck evangelicals will henceforth never take any of my scientific and spiritual ramblings seriously. And the world will end. Eventually.)

We need one that does things like CEO to Asshat conversions. Or politician to sleazeball, sleazeball to slimeball, to ..etc

I mean, how many dirtbags does it take to equal One US President? These are serious questions for inquiring minds.

I was wondering if 'direct to disc' would come through on yootoob. It seems to come through. sort of. Some distortion on the peaks. And the low bit rate plays hell with the high levels of the voice and cymbals. But still, it will be outside of most people's experience.

It's when the disc is recorded live, right from the mix console to the record cutter. No tape, no dubs, no overlays...nothing. A perfect live "in studio, direct to record cut", type of disc. Done with the perfect band, live, in one single perfected shot.

This is how records were originally cut, before we had tape....which is why they (78's) sounded so good.

The person who put it on youtoob went through the effort so see if they could get the dynamics to come through, with as little distortion as is possible.

This means it seems a bit quiet, when it first starts. Change the quality level to 720p for best effect, as this is the entire point.

Turn it up!

And get ready to have the drums punch through your body. Which is what real drums do. No low dynamic range loudness wars going on here. The exact opposite, in fact. To remember what it sounds like... when a real singer..really belts one out.

and in 1080p:

Why LPs? why records?

when you hear it you'll know why.

Indeed they are, especially after last night. Speculating here, but what about 25 million slimeballs and 290 million sleazeballs.

Carmody is there any video of this event? if so, how many afghan dogs and heavily armed super soldiers are guarding the thing?

If I ever get married, youre invited. I'll even supply the shrooms. Could you imagine?

[Mike]

Maybe someone can help me with this:

What does it mean when you dream of your ex girlfriend from 20 yrs ago almost nightly? I really don't think of her consciously during the day...so it baffles me.

[onawah]

She represents something in yourself that is trying to get your attention, perhaps, or some issue from your past that you have buried in your memory.
Unless it's an OBE and she is actually trying to connect with you (which would be a VERY lucid kind of dreamstate), she is actually some part of yourself, according to classic dream analysis, anyway.
Lots of people seem to be having lucid dreams right now.
Perhaps it's as the aborigines foretold, and the Dreamtime will be merging more now with our mundane reality.
I just had a funny dream the other day in which Kerry Cassidy came to visit me.
It was so real time, in my actual home and in the here and now, when I excused myself for a second to go to the bathroom while she was looking at the collages on my walls, I almost peed in my bed. , and when I jumped up to go to the bathroom, it almost seemed like she was actually still in my living room.
At the very same time, Agape was trying to locate Kerry in Prague, where she had scheduled an event, and Eva and I had been PMing each other a lot in the past couple of weeks, so it definitely seemed kind of synchronisitic.

Had a strange experience yesterday morning.
I was driving to work yesterday, and I was having a bit of fun reading out words in a British accent (I get silly when bored)

Cruising on the freeway at about 50-60 mph, made a lane change, and half way into the lane change, I catch in the corner of my right eye, another car merging into the same lane. Without skipping a heart beat, or even looking, I made the necessary adjustment so I wouldn't crash into this car on my right side, yet slightly behind me.
Then I stepped on the gas, and got ahead of the other car, while in the same lane. It was almost like a dance.

No panic, no surprise, no adrenaline rush. It was a detached, calm action. not reaction. It was a strange moment of "knowing".

I wonder if that is what if feels like to be "in the zone".

Could it be you’re picking up on emotional and/or physical turmoil she’s experiencing?

Another possibility is you’re in her thoughts because events she’s currently experiencing with someone similar in nature or relationship patterns.

Or for yourself, the relationship was lessons learned and it’s time to move on. Time to cut the cords that keep you energetically linked.

There is videotape of the event, sadly. Many relatives had nothing better to do than train their portable video recorders upon me. For years, I cringed every time I thought about it.

Hi Mike,

I think that dream interpretation is extremely difficult, but I had dreams about a girlfriend from 20 years ago for about 15 years, although not almost nightly. More like a few times a month.
For me personally, I think, that it had to do with some strong unresolved emotional issues that I had with her.
When I finally got over those, the dreams stopped, which has been for about five years now.

I am most grateful for Windows. For decades now, Windows has provided a broad and low cost supply of PC hardware ... which runs Linux admirably well .

Awesome display!

I had some fool whip past me across a double line in a school zone, and wagged my finger at him like he was 5
