I take my coffee incredibly-sweet with cream and sugar
That is what coffee is all about.
:-) I agree. I used to do cream + 4 Splenda (16oz cup), but I'm trying to cut down on my consumption of artificial sweeteners.

Yeah no one is going to understand what you mean.
That's unfortunately true. :-(

I never noticed it until it was pointed out to me.
Same here!
Well-said, poita! I like it!

Congrats on the bun in the oven...so to speak. And good luck on your journey!
Thank you!!!

I think you should include your SO's weight journey as well.
I'm fairly certain that she'd murder me in my sleep if I were to do that. ^_^

Note(s): I had an incredibly-long day at the office today (14 hours) because I needed to make up some time. The 3-4 cups of coffee were greatly needed!
The time has come for me to whip my fat ass into shape. My weight has been all over the place for the last 10 years, ranging from ~170lb. to ~410lb., at my height of 6' 0". I've lost >50lb. at least twice in the past, but like most formerly-obese people, I've put it all back on and then some. I didn't start at ~170lb. and work my way up to ~410lb.; i.e., it wasn't linear, but more like 250->190->230->170->220->350->300->...->410.
I used to be involved in bodybuilding and managed to get beefy enough to seriously consider entering competition. I know how to lose weight and I know how to do it healthily, so don't expect me to follow some fad diet here. It'll all just be calores-in vs. calories-out, hard work, and willpower.
Prior to stopping bodybuilding in 2005, I was ~220lb. with ~12% bodyfat and I've managed to retain a good amount of that lean mass.
I currently have a clean-bill-of-health. My blood pressure and sugar are normal, among other things. My fat-distribution is rather good (I don't look anywhere near 410lb.), so I can still participate in, e.g., shootin' some hoops without looking like a sweaty mess of a fool. Basically, I'm functionally-obese.
I want to lose as much weight as possible prior to the birth of our first child, late in April of 2014.
JEDIT: I plan to post in this thread at the end of every day with information on what I ate, how I feel, etc.
JEDIT 2: NOTE ON COFFEE: I take my coffee incredibly-sweet with cream and sugar, so I'd estimate each cup of coffee to be >= 100kcal. I'm trying to cut down, but I work as a Software Engineer, so... yeah.
deepanddark20: I'm willing to help, as I think there's value in having a nicely-preserved copy of the 1981 crawl. Please start a new thread for this and we can continue the discussion there.
The best quality version of the 1981 crawl is on the 1993 DC LD. In addition to the crawl, we'd have to take the 1981 flyover as well.

We need a catchy, effective, and short slogan
"Lucas raped my neighbor."
It's short, catchy, and, if I do say so, sounds almost prosecutable. Everyone has a neighbor so it's super relatable, and it's not all "me me me" like the first version.
lol

It certainly proves Star Wars can still make the headlines. If only the OOT issue got a little positive coverage.
The biggest problem on that front, I think, is that the anti-OOT people have managed to enter the idea that the changes are insignificant into the discourse.
This makes it easy for common folk to dismiss us as a bunch of geeky whiners who have nothing better to do than to go online and complain about a "few small changes" to an old movie.
The release of the GOUT DVDs messed up the OOT movement even more. Now all the anti-OOT people have to say is "They got their DVD and they're still complaining!"
Ugh.
What we need is a catchy slogan; something that Disney/LFL can't capitalize on like they did with "Han Shot First".
"Lucas Raped My Childhood" just makes us sound immature and doesn't accurately convey what we're trying to get across. It is short and effective, however.
We need a catchy, effective, and short slogan that accurately conveys what we're fighting for and manages to make us look like reasonable adults rather than immature children.
I'm beginning to think that Jedi Temple34 is a CS101-project-gone-wrong.
Hi, Fullframe!
I'm AntcuFaalb (Anthony). I currently live in Columbia, MD (USA).
The member with the 4K 35mm scanner, poita, lives in Australia.
I assume you meant New Jersey by Jersey? I grew up in Howell and Freehold, NJ.

Quick poll - Of all the teaser WIP's on the first page of this thread, which are you most excited about?
The Black Hole

There were one or two D-VHS players with HDMI outputs, yes, but that would be capturing the decompressed display and not the transport stream. You would have to recompress.
I know. I thought that the goal was just to preserve the content at (psychovisually) the same quality, not to have a bit-for-bit copy of the TS.
The bit-for-bit copy of the TS is, of course, the best solution.
I e-mailed all of this information to poita.

Good news, everyone!
Davespeanuts has responded, and it appears that the owner of the 35mm film reel set may be keen on helping you guys out. Here is his reply:
I tried and cold not get the link to work (the one to originaltrilogy.com I sent through Ebay PM), I do also have a near mint 16mm LPP print.......If you could get me their email that would be cool Beans.....Or have them message me directly.at: trancelucid@verizon.net
So is he looking to charge us or is he willing to share his 16mm LPP for free?
Monroville said:
Monk: do you have the user page links to Poita and AntcuFaalb so I can PM them (if no one else has yet)?
I'm here. :-)
Do any DVHS players have HDMI output? I remember seeing one that did a long time ago...
If so, then why not just do a lossless HDMI capture with something like the Blackmagic Intensity Pro?
Panasonic LX-900 :-)

Very happy to see The White Buffalo. What a treat.
Hey anyone know if it's possible to crack DVHS recordings that are Copy Once protected? I have numerous never going to be released titles on DVHS I'd love to rescue to Blu Ray.
Must be because I have Alien and True Lies plus others from DVHS. These are 1:1 .ts copies with no quality loss. I got them from Usenet years ago. I have no idea how the encryption was broken.
What size is the Alien DVHS? I've only got the DVD9 version.
It's 18.9 GiB on RuTracker.

I love how everybody including me but those two ( and maybe some silent others), actually do find Frink funny, and two random people that nobody really seems to like (not that I'm liked either, but hey that's okay) seem to think they are the authority on what should be said and that because they think you aren't funny/ on topic enough that you should just stop because it's wrong.
If you're talking about Moth3r, then don't forget that he's a mod.
Anchorhead and SilverWook are as well. (Am I missing any, guys?)
Also, it's Jay's forum, but you probably already know that.

I was just really interested in a good theatrical cut of The Phantom Menace in HD. I've seen Adywan's but his is not perfect.
Why? It's a terrible movie.
Yes, it was, but it did feel more like Star Wars than the subsequent two train-wrecks IMO.
