Just few days ago I've bought -A- book by: Allan L. Botkin / "Induced AFTER-DEATH Communication" http://www.hamptonroadspub.com/bookstore/p...products_id=465 A miraculous therapy for grief and loss. Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) is a new therapy for grief and trauma that has helped thousands of people come to terms with their grief by allowing them the experience of private communication with their departed loved ones. Botkin, a clinical psychologist, created the therapy while counseling Vietnam veterans in his work at a Chicago area VA hospital. Botkin recounts his initial—accidental—discovery of IADC during a therapy sessions with Sam, a Vietnam vet haunted by the memory of a Vietnamese girl he couldn't save. During the session, quite unexpectedly, Sam saw a vision of the girl's spirit, who told him everything was okay, she was at peace now. This single moment surpassed months—years—of therapy, and allowed Sam to reconnect with his family. Since that 1995 discovery, Botkin has honed IADC and used it to successfully treat countless patients—the book includes dozens of case examples—and has taught the procedure to therapists around the country. Induced After-Death Communication is the inside story of a revolutionary therapy that will profoundly affect how grief and trauma are understood and treated. "Dr. Allan Botkin's [induced After-Death Communication] probes the profound therapeutic and spiritual implications of apparent contact with departed loved ones. This book is a must read for all serious students of death and dying." —Raymond Moody, M.D., Ph.D., author of Life After Life: The Investigation of a Phenomenon—Survival of a Bodily Death and Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones **************************************************** I'm still trying to find a harmony with this book , and teachings in the Bible about communicating with dead people. (with the SOULS of dead people) But i my self had twice Out of Body experience , and I know, it is real. Looks like > There is life after Hi-MD Cheeers, ......

Just treat me like a human being, Please Thanks. What I did wrong , NOow ? Cheeers,.....

Wow , - !! How easy it is to get wrong answer. One must be careful. Double checking is OF big help. This is prove that Forum with many members can correct it's self.

Did any of You recorded Your self with Your Hi-MD when sleeping , to see / hear \ if Yu talk at night ? And would be there any special technical set Up involved, or just basic microphone, and connecting the Hi-MD unit to wall socket.

Today nothing is pissing me OFF, ... except my shadow ... it's following me. Can't get rid of it. UGGGRRRRR

Tonight on the radio program Coast to Coast AM, http://www.coasttocoastam.com/ will be (looks) like a very interesting subject, .... of nano-technology. > Not for the first time, BTW <. On their web site on the left in "NAVIGATION" is link to: "Affiliates" - those radio station that carry that program. On the right is list of topics for the whole week. Some times they have REALY great topics. On the right they have "PAST SHOWS." I listen to this program for last 7 years. For those who don't know this program and who like alternative, normal, and some times OFF the wall topics, - this is great program. I listen to it via live radio. But there is "Streamlink" available ( U can get for minimum 1 month to try it out). ===================================================== CDs - dusted OFF in last 2 days: 1/. "Brazilified" 2/. "The BEST of BLUES" - Martin Scorse 3/. " Whites OFF Earth now" , 1986 recording-Cowboy Junkies-(Canadian band).

Get a fuckin' life. Yes, this is right. Or to be more proper and polite & no to upset some people: Get a intercourse-ing life.

Great link , Thanks. It is bookmarked. As to Your suggestion of other type of players, Yes i was looking at them - but i think i stay with MD, [ i do have for last 3-4 years Sony MDE-JE 470 deck , and i like this technology, removable media, so I just will in this case record in real time - for me will be no struggle to take the time. And the black RH10 look so nice. BTW, now after my computers internal organs were replaced, and it's DNA restored, the whole thing was reincarneted, now i do have proper security installed. And that glass of holy water, - ... I drink it Thanks for now, I appreciated Your help P.S. do You know are the Maxell MDs any good - they are selling [on sale] pack of two [blue] for $ 3.98 CAN, it is probably like $ 2.80 USD. (regular price was $ 5.98 CAN). Till now i was using only Sony, {have 80 or so by now}. I know some people have 200 -300 hundred - Woow , that is a collection.

Sparky - Ha ha , You said this in such a smooth and easy way that" >Quote<, ...."Don't worry about SonicStage"< , .... that I might really brake my FEAR-ing mind and just to keep Up with technology I will try SonicStage. I think I will, Yes, - it will be great challenge. i like reading about different technologies so i should experiment also. The only think is that i'm afraid to mess up the computer, because taking to get fixed is not fun. I had that a year ago , but I was riding for almost 3 years with out any antivirus program, no fire wall , nothing. Just a glass of holy water beside it. So i guess i was lucky any how for that long. Yes I will definitely use Hi-SP. Quality over Quantity. Does Hi-SP ( be that in real time or via computer ), does it come as MP3 - or ATRAC3 - or it is just plain Hi-SP. Cheeers,....

Thanks guys for Your response, - I guess it is to bad that it is not working with Hi-MD, ...? ...from what some people are writing they still have problems with transferring music from CDs via computer to their Hi-MD units using that SonicStage [?] program. And in next few days i will be ordering from Sony RH10 unit. I guess I will transfer my CDs in real time in Hi-SP via line in on RH10 to 1Gig Md. I have no nerves, and experience with music on computer, [ i have no music in MP3 format on my computer ] and have maybe 5 CDs that i downloaded but don't play via computer, only via home stereo, ....so that makes me one maybe 2 steps above 8-ight track on music technology scale, ....Ha ha 1]. Are they any possible complications with real time CD recording /transfer to Hi-MD. 2]. And apparently i can transfer same CD only one time - even via line in, or that applies only to transfers /downloads via SonicStage, ATRAC3 on computer. Or that depends on particular CD if is coded, [.... like some kind of wild beast no to be reproduced more then once ]. I have saved articles with that info some where , but if You be so kind and forgive me my laziness at this moment and answer me this: 3]. Recording via line in to RH10 in Hi-SP mode on 1 Gig MDs, - do I have a choice of MP3 or ATRAC3, - or those are only available when recording /downloading via computer, and the line in real time recording is pre-set to those 3 settings [PMC, Hi-SP, Hi-LP] , -- and MP3 or ATRAC3 is not even applicable to those settings. My Sony Mini-Stereo has optical line out, and analogue RCA out. But I could do real time recording with optical to RH10 -Yes [?]. Thank You, .....

I think on this Forum i read a post and He [the post author] was talking -but just briefly- about Ogg Vorbis? http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#replace What is Ogg Vorbis? "Ogg Vorbis is a new audio compression format. It is roughly comparable to other formats used to store and play digital music, such as MP3, VQF, AAC, and other digital audio formats. It is different from these other formats because it is completely free, open, and unpatented". "Does Vorbis completely replace MP3, or is it just a complementary codec? Ogg Vorbis has been designed to completely replace all proprietary, patented audio formats. That means that you can encode all your music or audio content in Vorbis and never look back". ===================================== 1]. Is this something that is the "New kid on the block" ? 2]. How, (and will ?) this technology bypass the encoding on CDs. ? Possibly You already talked about this here in deeper aspects , but my question would be, - 3]. will be possible to use this Ogg Vorbis to transfer music from CDs to Hi-MD in faster time (not in real time). It is explained on their web site that transfer of MP3 music using Ogg Vorbis is not suggested to be done, the reason for this it is answered in this question: Can I convert my MP3 collection to the Ogg Vorbis format? One of the statement they make is: ....>partial Quote<... "When encoding from originals, you will find that you can make Ogg files that are smaller or of better quality (or both) than your MP3s."< And this has very interesting statements: What does the “Quality” setting mean? >partial Quote<..."For now, quality 0 is roughly equivalent to 64kbps average, 5 is roughly 160kbps, and 10 gives about 400kbps. Most people seeking very-near-CD-quality audio encode at a quality of 5 or, for lossless stereo coupling, 6. The default setting is quality 3, which at approximately 110kbps gives a smaller filesize and significantly better fidelity than .mp3 compression at 128kbps."< 4]. Wonder if anyone here did use this program, and how it worked, ... but I guess it will not work with Hi-MD, ....or will ?. Thanks, ......

Yeh, it is bit almost hypocritical that black-african americans can use the "n" word to call them self's , ....but when others are using it is not politically correct. I don't get it. If african-american people said, nobody should use this word, ...then I agree, but in this double usage case it is bit ridicules. Especially that source of that "N" word is from the name of a particular country. But to respect their concerns I do not use it, but raise my eye brows when i hear them self's using it.

This is very funny exchange - at first it looks a bit serious, .....but it is so innocent and friendly. I like when people have sense of humor Someone said: serious - You only lay down in tha casket Cheers,......

OK, ok, - The Low Volta I understand that We both understand Thanks, - only You were capable to pick-Up the topic and respond with logical examples. Thanks for fun discussion Cheeers,.....

Wary nice example The Low Volta. So finally some one {YOU} ok ... You - is giving me real life examples. My so called uneasiness is when someone ( some times it is me (ME) is using CAPS is not with intention to SHOUT , but to graphically to break the monotony of small type text, and to bring GENTLE attention to particular word, statement. It is as We said before totaly different when someone is writing the whole post in CAPS. Some how You see, I never react to this type of posts as offensive SHOUTING attitude posts, I just consider them to be un-practical to read. And -funny- only when i read that CAPS are considered to be offensive shouting attitude, only then i look at them sort of with that angle of perception , but still could not get upset at them , perhaps if I was programmed from the beginig to react to CAPS in such a way then maybe I would. Same as I You would take a person from the deepest jungle in Amazon and dropped off in downtown of a BIG city, and He would cross the street on red light , would You give Him the ticket , - ? He knew noting of such rule. So maybe it was with me, I knew nothing of such "rule" till i come few times to people jumping at others when they wrote whole post, or just some times few words in CAPS, only then i started to look into it, ....and i said to my self how come by my natural instincts to avoid loud obnoxious people in real life - how come this CAPS did not make me to react with such reactions as they were shouting at me in their posts. So i guess it is a question of conditioning of Our minds. Cheeers,.....

This so called bold type face or CAPITAL type "rule" - being considered as a theoretical subject ( but not practical application with physical side effects of loud shouting ) , reminds me of a story when daughter was watching her mom placing turkey into the (?)turkey pot - or what ever it is called, ...and that pot goes into the oven, and just before putting into the oven mom cut off top part of the turkey breast, and surprised daughter ask her Why she did that, and mom said - I don't really know - but my mom did it - I learned from Her, So daughter went and asked her grand Ma - grandMa said - I don't know - my Mom did that, I learned from Her, so daughter went and asked Gradn Gran Ma - and same ansver, so finally daughter went to 3xGradn Ma - and asked Her - and She answered - Ohhh, my child , We had small pot and the turkey did not fit it - so I had to cut off the topof the turkey breast so I can close the lid. And I think many things are done and reproduced by many of Us - because someone just said so. ============================================ In some long past in english language word "lady" was used to describe women who were employed at the Kings/Queens palace in the bakery shop ( palaces had hundreds of people living there) - and at that bakers shop there were women who did nothing else all day but just were knitting bread dough, and the baker was placing it in to the oven, women were only doing one thing all day, knitting the dough, woman who did this dough knitting job , she was called, ..... lady. Lady was like an job description. And look today how this word changed, it changed some time ago , but You see the change in application. Another one [and this one is bit heavy if You like] - it is from the triple X file: It has to do with mind programming In the long past English doctors and royalty and common people used word ( f * * k ) to describe totally proper behavior such as intercourse. That word (f * * k) was totaly, i mean totally proper medical and social word to be used in public, and was used in the same way as today We use word "intercourse" or ....lady, or Hi-MD, ...but some how someone said that word f**k is a bad BAD swear word .... and now We have it. Why and how they come to this conclussion it is a mystery. Would be interesting to find out if from the beginning of beginnings some words were destine to be "bad" words and other "good" words So I'm just watching how many times We as humanity are being molded into molds /rules\ that are strange, ilLogical, silly, dangerous, enslaving, questionable, etc., etc., ...... Just being watchful - that's ALL

This is a "what's pissing you off " THREAD So i don't understand your problem ? Ha ha ha My post - my topic - the subject in it - is related to "ranting" What's pissing me off. May I quote: Minidisc Community Forums The other stuff. Off Topic [Music, Electronics + etc] what's pissing you off You are avoiding my challenge, - or you are not capable to respond in solid contra argument way ? Well ? EDIT: P.S. you can give 100 links to read about it, - they are ALL are speculative, theoretical concepts. I know it is hard to break the walls of confusion, ....same thing it was in Medieval times.

>quote< ..."but it is a FACT that using capitals, bold, italics is deemed as 'shouting'. " What kind of FACT. ? To me FACT is physical evidence of something , - in this case it is only theoretical, i was trying to get a sound form my computer when reading small types , and i put my ear really close to the computer, to the speakers, to monitor, and no sound was coming out from the letters , and the same was lacking when i read CAPITAL type face. Maybe my computer is broken, but so far makes no difference the size of type face in posts, --- still no LOUD sound of SHOUTING is being emitted for them. Must be "old wife's tale" - the urban legend. They manipulating us , for now with this silly rule , just to get us hooked , and letter they -"THEY"- will tell us that we must not use question [?] marks , because this can be deemed as questioning ALL authority, ... ALL rules. So just in case from now ON - do not use [ ? ] QUESTION marks., Ha ha P.S. Theirs suggestion to use italic font is grossly silly, it is as difficult tot read as CAPITAL letters. They know that.

Hey Greg, - it is nice of You to say that word - but no need to "sorry" - , I'm taking this whole subject really easy and lightly, (maybe i was not skilled enough to present that way in my post) - I know I'm not going to change this - at least not by my self, Ha ha I know that it might be written some where on the net as a "rule" of english language " -as a- "contrastive stress" - but no matter how many volumes it is written about it , in my opinion it is still purely intellectual speculative concept, ...again with out any correlation to real life sound/ voice physics. It is just someone's theory - that someone come up with it to write perhaps university paper. If i see a post that it is written in ALL CAPS i just go on with out reading it. Unless it is few lines. I don't understand motiivation of those people , cause i'm almost sure they when reading posts by others written in ALL CAPS - they must to have difficulties reading them also, but they still write like that them self's. STRANGE indeed Maybe has to do with attention seeking.?. Cheeeers,..... >or may I say< CHEEEERS, ........ Ha haa, ha , { just having little fun } , since i can not get really i mean REALLY get pist OFF at something serious ...... P.S. >quote<, "It is used in the english language to make language 'louder'." - so why they are not attacking food labels ?, wine, news paper print, movie posters - ALL packaging labels in that case. I think that language 'louder' concept is silly in application to writing posts on the net. Why here is not appropriate and in real life it is. ?

>quote< "ATELETRONICS... please ease up on the CAPS... on boards this is interpreted as shouting" **************************************************************************** I really, I mean really, would like if someone could give me a source and explanation ( aprx. date, and who it was ,and in what country ) that they come up with this Rule (enigmatic Rule) that by using CAPS (or even bold) type face is considered as...shouting. I agree that CAPS if used in the whole post are just plain and simply very difficult to read,[ not practical ] but what (visual) physical size of type face has to do with perceived physical sound level - ?? , this really puzzles me. As i said if this was perceived and "enforced" from the point of view that is just dificult to read - I would totally understand - ? - but telling that this is considered as vocal shouting, I don't see any connection, any (logical) logic to this argument. Anyone here especially those of You who are "enforcing" :") this sub-logical rule , can / will You be able to defend (in logical and practical ) - not in emotional - ways this ...rule. What CAPS had to do with sound level.? It is like saying that colour red has specific smell to it. Or is this just "old wife's" tale, urban legend ? that masses are just following (blindly) with out questioning it's correlation to real life physics ? I, - if I follow rules, I like to understand them at logic level, not like in case of black cat running in front of me and bringing me bad luck story, of not walking under the latter, etc., ect., . . . . . I think someone come up with this rule as a silly joke , and now majority just following (blindly). This reminds me a bit of hillarious mass conception that blonds have more fun, and millions and millions of women are dying their hair > hope-ing < to have more sex appeal and supposedly have more fun , there is a saying "that blonds have more fun" , - but in mean time they still inside the same miserable as they were before hair colour change, the perceived happines is not real and is not long term, lasts only few days or weeks /months, and old misery sooner or letter crawls out from the personality, and changing hair colour doe's nothing to help. I think some times using CAPS (or bolds) is needed for visual effects to break the monotony of text written in small size type, - same as it is on food labels, just look at list of ingredients, they are all in the same size types [small or CAPS], just to discourage You from reading how much chemicals is there:), [ of course not all products have chemicals in them - U get my point I hope ], -...and look at the front of labels with differed sizes, boldness, \ styles of font to make some text information to "stand Up " from other text, etc., See if You can come up with some strong solid arguments that will give solid support structure to this "rule" that ::: "using CAPS in writing posts is considered as LOUD SHOUTING enigma" ?. Take a shot at it guys ?

Thanks, - yea, - I was going to lo;ok there but just though to see what i get here since the subject was up. Thanks again.

Just Please guys, don't get me wrong, .... I too like the idea of "optical line in" - and being able to record from any source, but knowing corporate g*eed and over protectiveness this might be next "nail" , ...look what is going on with limits set on recording via computer.

1]. Koss porta pros2 2] .Sony MDR-EX71SL 3]. Sennheiser PX100 4]. Sennheiser PX200 What U guys think would work in Your opinion best with Hi-MD RH10 ? Are any of those models are much - much better then others , or more less are in the same sound quality category.? And what about build quality ? Thanks,....
