Not months before he passed.......but still spoke for us all, I think.

Sorry,,, I lost myself just moments ago........
Was not going to bring my self pities here........
Will try not to do it again.
Meow.
-
And just so's y'all know.......
Whilst I am serving out my forced vacation from the Seti boards, all is well here.
And I still have not bought any more cigs!
-
LoL, That's great news Mark! Keep it up!. I was wondering what you were up to since I missed the last part of that ridiculous argument... now I know, I can worry about where Brad threw a wobbly & went walkabout after probably exploding his PC ::)
Jason
-
Thanks Jason.....
Just thought I would let somebody know, 'cuz it had been speculated that I might use the 'vacation' as an excuse to give up on the smoke stop fundraiser.
Not so.
Now hopefully Brad shows back up again....LOL.
-
And I see the ridiculous cooling argument still rages on in my absence......LOL.

For crying out loud, LoL. Obviously it's way better to immerse the whole shebang in liquid helium, and apply heating elements to get the chips started. (I win, ROFL)

Uhh......don't try to tell that to a certain other individual.......
Maybe it's a good thing I'm locked out for a bit...or I might start up again...LOL.
Gives me an opportunity to spend some more quality time with the kitties.

Mark, with every day your chances of beating this are growing! Now, not only would you have to pay off your bet, but more importantly you would have thrown away these days of being smoke free. You are doing an excellent job!

Yupper.
And I've saved myself about $50.00 already!
But it's not being easy, I can tell ya that much.

keep it up Mark.

I shall.......
As the old saying goes, I have been in tougher jams.
And yes, the kittyman doth lurketh even when he has been banished from the kingdom. LOL.

Hmmmmmm....
Is notification of PM via email still broken?
I got one a few days ago that I did not notice until now.
Looks like I have it set correctly in my profile.
I know it was broken long ago.......but with my absence, did not know if it had been fixed.
Mark
-
Probably. It's never been 100% (though I get mine). I'm hesitant to ask for server side (KWSN) assistance in the matter, due to the graciousness of the hosting arrangements. Perhaps if things become problematic we might talk to them & the GPUUG about a potential shift, since really we are leeching here.

Oh, please don't jack anybody up on my account, I was just asking.......not working on my end.
I would hesitate to call the hosting arrangements 'leaching' though, unless it becomes an issue.
They have certainly been most gracious. (Seeing as how many of us are on a competitive team).
Might just be my wacky account. No problems. Please let it be as is.
Mark
-
Well nonetheless, I'll keep an eye on it. While we'd all like 'stuff for free' I believe we still deserve quality service for the work we do, and that includes tester environment as well. Let's sort out something better if it's needed.

Ok........but, as I said, please do not do anything just because I seem to be having a problem with it.
Please.
I shall just have to learn to be more observant of the site notification of new PMs.
-
And, if it should occur to anybody to contact me through other channels, I do like email.
Going to bed now, but my email is..........
simply, marksattler'at'sbcglobal.net
Best wishes and kitty kisses.

Email notofication works fine for me.

Does that mean you're had the email notifications for the PM's i sent yesterday?
email notification works here too, but it's normally a good few days before they arrive.
Claggy

I have had no email notification for any PMs sent here for some time........
And I know that last post was not directed at myself.
-
And, since it is my thread, and since OMG is the word of the day......(didn't know that, diidga?)
Here's a lil whoopass from back in my day.......
Rob Rio goes wild...........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcsabESkImM&feature=related
Yeah, the kitties gone wild again................
They will return.
-
Ok.....here we go.
And I am not trashed.....just yet.
I know some folks in Lunatics land are old enough to enjoy this inbetween their re-complings............
And I suspect that some of you may have had a 'zoot suit'.......eh?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G8Oxxuhy3s&feature=related
Just thought I might give you a break........LOL.
And Jason.......you might not be old enough to 'remember' this, but give it a whirly, eh?
Oh, and this is the reference standard.......LOL.

Amazing what they're doing with plastic surgery, makeup & lights these days , those ladies don't look a day over 40 in either clip ;D

Oh, and have you see the movie......'Burlesque'?
Not as bawdy as you might have though......by the title.
Please do watch it.
Christina is awesome, but stay for the single solo song by Cher late in the flick........her voice has never been more powerful.......great stuff.........and the makeup training scene between the two of them is almost enough to make ya cry...........
Yeah, the kittyman DOES have a soft spot.........
Trailer..........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKxq8PGNMcc
Very powerful movie, kitty approved.
And........this is the song.........and I can connect with it......
Rumor has it that in an interview, she said that her voice never had such a range as it had in her later years...........this is witness.
You haven't see the last of me..........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY8WarsOXsE
Pardon me, but........what a statement, and what a voice...........
No, I don't think you've seen the last of me.

LoL, well you may blow your speaker crossover caps again. At least you should have close access to decent stuff. I used to ship crossover refurbishing stuff from Ohio to Perth, and win competitions with some of the PA gear I made as a kid (well 17 or so). Bass & lower mid were better in mine (proper resonance & alignments etc), but the most obvious difference was with female vocals & high end. Gave everything a much 'liver' bigger sound carefully tuned, which is a lost art of sorts.

Try an 18 JBL subwoofer with a few hundred watts to give it a voice.
Yeah, I have all the toys........a few channels of dbx 165a peak limiters, impact restoration...a 5bx........18" JBL subwoofer....mullti channel EQ with auto equalization.....if you have really been in the business, you know what I am talking about.
And this was years ago, when I came close to Joan and her cuz' in voice, little Suzi Q .........I did some gigs, man. I did some gigs.

Sure, though I tended to build in the EQ into the design so needed less room EQ & other processing on the rack side. Never was a big fan of compressors, so I had to build everything big so that it didn't blow. Best system I built for that style live had double 15" JBL Pro high efficiency units per side (Model 2226H), tuned to a chebychev 4th order alignment with .5dB ripple for 'punch' & bass walk feel, reinforced with W-bin loaded 18" cheaper JBLs as fill, They were active crossovered so had their own amps & EQ. Mid was hand made double 10" horn loaded paper cones, with passive crossovers overspecced by 4x needed, and topped by highly linear compression horn tweets.
They sounded great, I had learned a lot from some old guys that had worked with Kef & the BBC in the UK, and retired to Perth. Those ones had some design flaws due to the output being relatively uncompressed... namely making drunk people throw up because of the clean punch, and cops arriving within 5 minutes of firing it up. Needing 3 phase power for the system to run on a single circuit was also a nuisance. Probably still running somewhere in a club in WA, now I'm getting nostalgic & will have to see if I can find any old pics. Gave up doing that stuff when too many cheap chinese imports started ruining the market & too many shoddy builders started entering the scene.

OK, give me your best mix on this......
Babe's gettin' hard on her axe, and vocals too.......they want some echo in the mix........
How do ya work it? 1200 hz hard, with a ram oin 1600? She was a biatch about her vocals.......
Real pissy about the monitor levels.
LIke, I can read her mind...........
And then she gets on about her axe not being on that day?????????????
At least Joan never bitched about her axe..........everything else, but not her axe.
-
Well, they never told me I had to be an engineer........
They just always said,
'Make her sound loud, boss.......make her sound loud."
ROFLMAO
And Suzi plays bass,,,,,,,,
Get that right without f'ing ever other f'ing oither thing on the stage.........
But, k, guess that wuz her point. Such a kute gurl.,
But get her mike wrong.......ofhh, F.
Backstage was kinda wild...........
She was not who Joan was, believe me.........
Suzi was very laid back.
But wanted a little 'friendship'
Jett was already getting of with her fun with the gurlz, and wanted no part of the roadies then.
-
Yeah the guys who said that were usually the ones throwing up, LOL.
The tricks I used to use in that mid range were less engineering-ey, more 'back arty'. Wanting more rez for volume I;d replace the crossover electrolytics with 630V poly caps, then bypass them with high voltage tinfoil low value jobs. They take 2 weeks of hammering to break in, then you can pull half the stuffing out of the mids... Clean & Phat ;)
[Edit:] A good example of the black art part.... Usually the crossover 'Zobel network' had the cap on top of the resistor... swapping them around shouldn't make any difference in electrical terms... well it does! Keeps the resistor cooler & so dampens the mid a bit, so you can unstuff the box some more & use the driver.
[Edit:] Found one!, it's missing the 18" W-bins. The mid horns & tweet units are meant to stack on the bass units. On that day there was apparently people working upstairs at the back of the factory unit, that got rained components on & came staggering down the stairs... LoL, memories
-
Nice cabs, biiatch.
Nice cabs.
-
Hmm, looks like the hand made (fibreglass) reflex ports are missing from the double 15" bins there, as the slots are empty. Must have been taken when I pulled them out, recalculated the alignment, gave them a trim & organised the measuring gear... I'm probably out the back swearing while that was taken (LoL) as the cabinets came out slightly over volume for the alignment I wanted. They were 'too hard' until adding the 18" fillers. Thankfully mixing the 18"s & the 15's together made for an adjustable mixture, so I made crossover & EQ presets for rock, Jazz, Drum'n'Bass & Hardcore Techno. Certainly get a different appreciation listening to all those on this instead of a crappy boom-box from K-Mart, LoL.

Just so yah know......
It aint easy bein' me.
LIfe's been hard and somtimes I bark back.
Aint be'ing me with someone always on my back.
Ain't life always bittchin' to be free.

"Been born a danger to all I choose to touch....
and I've been a ranger, chose to touch all too often and to much.
Been down too often, and all downtown too much........
Been loud and lonely too often and too mucn .,,,:
My friends, it seems I have talken too loudly and too long.
Even friends I have known long have not spoken for so long........
My long ago lovers have not called me for a while.
So I guess it's best I travel on and smile.
Can't get no calls from home....
Can't get nobody to get me where I'm goin'.......
Can't get nobody to get me where I been .
Best I get on gone to some place I never been.
And then somebody....they will reckon that I've gone.
Someone, somehow, somewhere, will miss my homesick song.
They'll call me back, and reckon where I'll be?
Back home to folks,
That's where I shoulda be.
-
I should advise..........
Those were just free ranging lyrics from a song not yet competed.
Ya see, I need a composer.......I have words, yet no music.
Like Leiber, und der Stoller........
Uber........

With that many words, you could go simple 3 piece setup & 3 chords
Like TNT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR30knJs4Xk) . Too much orchestration wouldn't fit the feel of the lyrics if you asked me. I like the looseness.. if you tighten them up it would miss the point. Just Sayin'
-
There are these bits of history I wish to share, lest they be forgotten.........
Mike Stoller noticed two things about Jerry Leiber when the latter knocked at Stoller's door in Los Angeles one afternoon in 1950. The first was Leiber's eyes – one was blue, one was brown. Stoller stared in amazement at Leiber's eyes until Stoller's mother finally asked,

Jason, dear Jason........
I knew ACDC LONG before you did.
Saw them live in a show long before the the pups.......I wuz on the tour circuit with some chick after Joan......she ganged up with chicks.........no further access.
The movie was a slight show of the real facts.
She luved rock and roll, allright........and chickys too.
Here to tell ya.
-
LoL, try your lyrics with What do you do for money honey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-_G37EK1VU&feature=related) , with the vocals EQ'd out ;D Works!
I composed when younger but I never composed rock, but that works, which I reckon is that 12 bar blues thingy (which I did use). Sorry if you wanted something mellower.. but you do tend to sound angry, so it works :D
[Later:] funnily enough with that bluesy layout it'll work with other totally different stuff, like Underworld's 'River of Bass' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZR9ipkbsOQ&feature=related),
-
You must have been a good boy then.......
This was a rather rare find back then.
AC/DC.........Crabsody in Blue........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPjDGIWQqrk
Sideways walkin'?
Got you talkin'?
Got you the blues?
Best get to the doc.
Meowowowowow...
-
And, no my friend, I look for companionship, not admonishment......LOL.
I took that road a lotta kibbles ago,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
All I can tell ya, is it's a long way to the top.
Even at Seti.
And I been here a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time.
So, simple arguments no longer work here.........
It takes a long time to shift a mountain.
Long time to rock and roll

Ya really wanna yank?
You pulled the chain........
THIS is ACDC, my friend. You should have know that before you pulled the chain.
Let there be freakin' rock...........oh yeah.

Uhh.........
Best Clint Eastwood quotes....many to go around, if you take a look inside.
And I suggest you get 3 coffins ready, before you prepare mine.
'Am I paranoid, or are you busting my balls?'
These are simply the best set of movie quotes ever collected.
It would take me hours to view all the collected movies.
If I ever have to come back here to defend this..........
It might get ugly.

I enjoyed watching Clint go for it in those. Another guy I wouldn't mess with is R Lee Ermy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIj9gGJf4g) . I like to think I run this place a bit like that, so you better shave those sideburns.
-
Only better story told in recent cinema history was that of our dear Etta James........
Who is just holding on to her dear life.
I cannot watch this movie without shedding many tears.
Cadillac Records........one of best movies of all time.......it was more about Etta than not.
Beyonce did so much to enable this effort. Few others could have achieved the effort,l
Etta is out of the hospital now, and is resting well.
And she has good reason to claim the throne.......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADDigK8LwyE
Yeah.............Beyonce................LOL............your effort was great, but not the original.

You run the place like Clint?

[Mod:] too far, take a breather ;)
-
OK, I breath now.........
But, can I even get a simple laugh from things just being allright?
Just got off the phone with Lori..........work was a bummer, as was mine. But she is OK, made it through the snowstorm, and I made her promise not to try to do the driveway until I can get there sometime tomorrow.
1 wish I had Angela as our friend..........she'd have it done in a flash.....LOL.
I have more vampire friends than you know..........smile.
Promise I won't bite.
-
Oohhhhhhhh, you DO smell good.
LOL, you had to see the movie to appreciate the quote.....
.
You see..........I am Bella's eternal cohabitant. Her love for life. Pre-destined. Unalterable, unchangeable.
We are one.................................that is gonna f up the story.....LOL.
I won't come into the storyline until the end..........'till her hear stops beating.......and at the end of 3, it has.
A lifelong enabler. Tied by our simple being, one and of the same soul. There is no resolution until the end of the story, and I surely cannot tell you that now. For, I am she, and she is me.....and we are one.
And nothing can change it. Not even Edward with all his powers...........
It turns out the Bella gets turned by Edward......but he then even after his 100 some years on this earth, does not know what he created.
Now, we two have to deal with the powers that that are left, and they understand now how concentrated the powers within the two of us are.....
The Primal vamipres. The Volturii. They do NOT give second chances.........but, neither do I.
Or she.........who has just now realized just what she has bargained for. I tried to tell her in those screaming dreams she was having. It was NOT her boyfriends.
You shjall have to stay tuned for what the ending is.
I shalll not tellll you.
Let it be said.........it shall or not be what you might think.
The truth of the matter is that I cannot change life's events for Bella.....or for you either, my friends.
It is written in stone, from the dawn of time................I am what I am.
I am Bella, she is me. We are one, we shall be. One.
In the end..........Bella I cease to exist..........our child is the only entity.
Forever.
Happy ending? Well, kinda.
-
Well, that was a fine story......Lori giggled at it too.
Now, something you can really do.....aside from giggling at me......
Mama Mia.........
I know.......I been touting it for a while, but, like the Lion King, this is the real deal.
Abba on steroids.........LOL........may not be the same production in your home town, but promises to be a hoot regardless.......
Gimme that much..........
Here ya go.......make a date.
https://tickets.porttix.com/public/show.asp
Have the kitties ever led ya wrong?
Well, recently?
The gyst of it..........I have a Dream.........all based on wonderful olld ABBA tunes.
Once the things of top ten fodder, and I love then.......as I always loved vocal harmony groups.
I'll cross the stream, for I have a Dream.
And my destination
makes is worth the while......
I'll cross the stream........

Well, come to me, and I'll extend a had from the other side........

Arrggghhhhhhhhhhhh.........
My beloved Packers melted down today in very embarrassing fashion in their home playoff game.
When it really counted most, they played what was arguably the worst game of their otherwise magical season.
Next year.......sigh.
On a better note......I have STILL managed not to buy any more cigs. Saving grace is that when I get into my cups and the urge is the strongest, that is also a time I refuse to get in the car and drive anywhere.
So....a couple of weeks and counting. Just wish I could say the worst has passed, but I don't seem to feel the compulsion lessening yet.
But I am still winning the battle, my friends.

Mark, that is great news! I understand it is hard, but you are well on your way to beating it. I tip my hat to you and your efforts!

Re football: All teams I'd have any support for, the Pack included, are out. My interest has evaporated.
Re Cigs: Hang in! I quit in 1984 after 30 years of cancer enhancement. My method: One day I just quit. This after quitting for 5 years then taking it up again. "in your cups" is not a good time when trying to quit. But take heart. Now, 25 years later, I can be a dedicated wino without ever thinking of a smoke.
Congrats! Art

Good to hear!
