  1. Does anyone know of a good freeware program for the MAC (similar to Audiograbber or Exact Audio Copy for the Windows PC) that does the following all-in-one:

     

    1. Extraction Of CD Audio

    2. Normalization Of Audio Files

    3. Conversion Of Audio Files To MP3 or other formats like WAV, etc.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. :-) unsure.gif

    Unwanted attention is very uncool. I had been chased after by a woman I had NO interest in and was a just plain spooky individual. I met her because we knew a couple of people in common. She went out with this one guy I knew for at lest a year or so. Nice, meek, timid kinda guy. She was basically a rough, haggard sort you might find rotting away in a seedy bar. Crazy as a rat in a coffee can. They broke up, and she sent some thug to beat him up... this is a guy who wouldn't hurt a fly.

    I flatly turned her down. No way. She showed up at a party at my place (!)and wanted to stay the night. No. She tried following me in town one night. I blew a stop light and hid in a parking lot with the lights off and the engine running. She found me. I ended up outrunning her on a dirt road.

    Sometime after I began hearing things from people... she had apparently been telling people I was gay, since I wanted nothing to do with her. Jolly. Great. I finally got her to stop when I confronted her in Denny's. In front of her friends. I confronted her about the remarks she made and the crap she'd done and said "that's it, enough." embarrassed the hell out of her. I made another remark I won't mention here and left. Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense...

    Yeah you're right. Giving it to her right where it counts the most sometimes works the best usually. It's so sad that we have to live with sick individuals like these but I guess it's an experience we chalk it up to. That's all we can look back at it as I guess. *sighs*

    Real story.


    I dated a guy.  He also became a member of this forum, even though he didn't like Rush.  He cheated on me, and dumped me thru a text.  Then, kept on visiting the forum to rub it into my face he was with someone, then kept texting me saying flirtatious things.

    I was dumb and gave him another chance, and he did the same thing again.  Exactly, just as I had thought he would, yet he kept posting on here after I asked him numerous times to leave me alone.  He ended up getting banned on here, and I had to change my phone number.

    He did contact me on another forum, but I had him on ignore, so I never replied.  Hell, I didn't even know what he told me.

    Wasn't worth the effort to click on the message.  biggrin.gif

    End of stalker story.

    My "stalker story" is similar. The creepy thing is that is WASN'T someone I dated, or even knew very well. We had a brief introduction at a party is all, and didn't even talk at length.

    He thought I was attractive (flattering enough), and got my number from someone. I wasn't interested for a variety of reasons; I had too much going on at the time. I was nice about it, but he kept calling, and ignored my requests to stop. He'd call at odd hours too, like 5:30 am, and just past midnight.

     

    Then it started getting scary. He found out where I lived and notes started appearing in my mailbox, taped to my door, and gifts being left on my doorstep. My friends who knew him (and begged him to leave me alone) swore they hadn't given him any address information, so of course, he had followed me from somewhere. He started showing up where I was; I'd be browsing quietly amongst the offerings at Barnes & Noble, and there he'd be. He joined the gym where I was a member; if he was there when I was, he wouldn't talk to me. Just stared, from across the room. I'm stubborn, and refused to let him keep me from my workouts. One afternoon, I chanced bumping into him on the way out, and very quietly told him I'd have a restraining order filed if this shit didn't stop.

     

    The kicker finally came when I started getting gift deliveries (flowers and stuffed animals and shit) at work. I refused them, and he had the nerve to call me and demand to know why. So I ended up following through on the restraining order. He violated THAT after about three weeks, and ended up spending a week in jail for it. Needless to say, his place of employment was none too thrilled to find out about that and let him go. Which, of course, he blamed ME for. I was really scared at this point; he'd shown he wasn't afraid of the restraining order, and I wasn't sure what else I could have done. I did (and still do) have a Glock 9mm and know how to use it, but since he'd never actually tried to harm me physically, it seemed a bit extreme to threaten to shoot him.

     

    Ultimately his parents intervened. Turns out he had a fairly extensive psychiatric history, and they checked him into a hospital. He had done this sort of thing before, although apparently it never went as far as it did with me. He still lives in the area, and from time to time I'll see someone who looks like him, and it gives me a start. . .

    Yeah I can totally relate to your story. This nurse apparently is very intelligent and knowledgeable in spying and other techniques. I am very sorry I ever went to this hospital because now I realize regretting it. unsure.gif

    been stalked, for real.
    My sister threatened to take his head off with a baseball bat the last time he appeared at our door,(she was totally capable of doing so) and he went away for good!

    So noted. I have thought about doing to Cindy as well. But I hope she gets the message though. sad.gif

  5. I was thinking about that Susan but I'm not dead yet though. She hasn't killed me at the moment. I'm gonna fight her on this all the way even to Supreme Court, if I have to to settle this dispute once and for all. unsure.gif
  6. Well I went to the hospital back in February 2008. This nurse named Cindy Larson, an LPRN from Surrey Memorial Hospital followed me home in a stolen ambulance when I left in April 2008. She has camped out in my fire exit for the last 9 months now. I was on the 5th Floor North Area 51 at the time where she had worked. She brain probed me and tried to frighten me and give me hallucinations. Now since I've been at home she's pretty much deprived me of sleep, harrasses, watches and hears me all day long. I've asked her several times to leave my building but no go there. I talked to my lawyer about it and he told me to call the police about it. But she's too sneaky to get caught and then I'm gonna look a fool for even getting involved in the matter. Everybody thinks I am crazy but I hear her voice all day long and all night long. I don't see her and no one else does because she hides all the time. One of my workers saw her in the fire exit and that's the only proof I've got so far on her. Any other suggestions? unsure.gif

    Firearms are an exciting world. Yes, they're associated with killing and maiming, but that only accounts for a small portion of their applications in the world. If your initial reaction to the title of this topic is to recoil in disgust, you probably represent the majority of people in the world; guns have been responsible for incalculable loss of life. But that is not the point of this thread. The point is to appreciate their power, their elegance, their ingenuity, their diversity.

    So... What have you handled?

    A cap gun is as far as I ever got. I also tried my friend's pellet gun once.

    I think it was Bernie Taupin who co-wrote all the good songs with Elton.

    Elton alone is crap.

    taupin wrote, if not all of his seventies lyrics. he left in the eighties and they just recently reformed i believe. elton wrote all the music and in my opinion the music is what makes the lyrics work, so alone elton john is not crap..... smilies-8579.png

     

    i guess i shoulda figured that this would happen, but why do people have to bring his sexuallity into a topic about his music? pure ignorance

    George Michael is gay too. Freddie Mercury was as well. You don't see people bashing them, do you? I don't care if they're aliens from another planet, as long as they make good music. That's all that matters to me personally.

  9. News Flash:

     

    Handel said it will take time before viewers see their favourite shows back on television.

     

    "Restarting an industry is not as simple as rebooting a writer's laptop," he said. "What we're going to see is a reawakening of the television business."

     

    He said some shows, like '24' and 'Lost,' won't be back until the fall.

     

    The Academy Awards, to be held on Feb. 24, will be a go, said Handel.

     

    Sid Ganis, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which stages the Oscars, welcomed news that the strike had ended.

     

    "I am ecstatic that the 80th Academy Awards presentation can now proceed full steam ahead," he said, and without "hesitation or discomfort" for the nominees.

  10. The strike has now end with the writers. Where does that put "24"? Well from all the reading I have done so far, they say the show will most likely not return till January 2009, which in my opinion would be a long time to wait though.

     

    Another news note: Mary Lynn Rajskub (who plays Chloe O'Brian) is pregnant in real life as well.
