    Well I am not "supposed" to have it....What I was told is this is basically an in-house prototype of the Gift edition....I was told only four were made at Centipede and these four were held by senior executives there. A long time ago (10 years maybe) one person (no longer works there) tried to sell this for about 15 minutes and got in trouble with management....I approached person directly and got no response... (maybe 2 YEARS later) person contacted me through email and said he had vetted me extensively and found me to be a credible serious King collector and sold me the book. Frankly, it was a long time ago and that is what I can recall. It is yet another Centipede version that I think very few people are aware.

    If you do that you’ll be accused of not understanding the message of BLM. Don Lemon actually lambasted Terry Crews the other night because Crews dare call out the high number of Black-on-Black murders.

    It blows my mind how white men continue to embarrass themselves by talking about things that they're completely unaware of and are unapologetic about it.

    “Blacks killing blacks” it’s almost always to deflect attention away from police brutality. As if one issue makes the other more acceptable.

    But, by all means, let’s talk about “black on black crime.” The majority of black people murdered are killed by other black people. That’s true, but also misleading. The overwhelming majority of white murder victims each year are killed by white assailants. So, when’s the last time you heard the term “white on white crime?”

    According to the Bureau for Justice Statistics, People living in households with income below the federal poverty threshold are twice as likely to commit a violent crime than people in high-income households, regardless of race.

    That’s why police brutality is its own unique horror. And African Americans are two and half times more likely than whites to be killed by law enforcement.

    When you step outside every day knowing you’re twice as likely to be killed by someone sworn to protect you just because of the color of your skin, you’re dealing with a different type of fear. Don’t let statistics, ignorance or flat out racism cloud that.

    Learn something.

    Don Lemon and Terry Crews are both Black. Did you not realize that?

    Curious though... are you able to have a civil discussion? Getting on a pedestal and taking down to people is just stupid. “Learn something”?!? Give me a break.

    You're right. My tone was probably not the best for a discussion so my apologies on that. Just understand my point of view: my opinion that I've shared on this site about celebrating the freedom of American's on July 4th being reevaluated because a large part of our citizens *are not* free led to multiple negative feedback comments (which I truly care ZERO about), but it makes me aware of the temperature of the topic. So in my eyes, there is no learned or civil discussion to be had. Just wealthy white men arguing with other wealthy white men about how black people should feel in this country.

    White TV anchors disagree on TV all the time about crime. Just because two black anchors are arguing about black crime on TV doesn't validate "black on black crime" as an issue.

    Again, black on black crime infers that black people are the only race that have crime with each other. Blatantly not true.

    Peace and love to all!!!

    I have decided to become a hermit and live in a cave with a hole for a toilet and leaves for clothes, and give away all my King books, first come, first taken...

    Nah, I changed my mind.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    Got an email today from the Company I signed contract back in March but couldn't work due to the suspension of soccer in the country. They're under a legal issue in Denmark and can't cover soccer games until further notice (it can be up to 18 months). A really bad news for me.

    I have an agreement with another company but it doesn't pay as well as this one.

    It blows my mind how white men continue to embarrass themselves by talking about things that they're completely unaware of and are unapologetic about it.

    “Blacks killing blacks” it’s almost always to deflect attention away from police brutality. As if one issue makes the other more acceptable.

    But, by all means, let’s talk about “black on black crime.” The majority of black people murdered are killed by other black people. That’s true, but also misleading. The overwhelming majority of white murder victims each year are killed by white assailants. So, when’s the last time you heard the term “white on white crime?”

    According to the Bureau for Justice Statistics, People living in households with income below the federal poverty threshold are twice as likely to commit a violent crime than people in high-income households, regardless of race.

    That’s why police brutality is its own unique horror. And African Americans are two and half times more likely than whites to be killed by law enforcement.

    When you step outside every day knowing you’re twice as likely to be killed by someone sworn to protect you just because of the color of your skin, you’re dealing with a different type of fear. Don’t let statistics, ignorance or flat out racism cloud that.

    Learn something.
    Don Lemon and Terry Crews are both Black. Did you not realize that?

    Curious though... are you able to have a civil discussion? Getting on a pedestal and taking down to people is just stupid. “Learn something”?!? Give me a break.
    You're right. My tone was probably not the best for a discussion so my apologies on that. Just understand my point of view: my opinion that I've shared on this site about celebrating the freedom of American's on July 4th being reevaluated because a large part of our citizens *are not* free led to multiple negative feedback comments (which I truly care ZERO about), but it makes me aware of the temperature of the topic. So in my eyes, there is no learned or civil discussion to be had. Just wealthy white men arguing with other wealthy white men about how black people should feel in this country.

    White TV anchors disagree on TV all the time about crime. Just because two black anchors are arguing about black crime on TV doesn't validate "black on black crime" as an issue.

    Again, black on black crime infers that black people are the only race that have crime with each other. Blatantly not true.
    The problem is that when one person wanted to celebrate a Holiday, you shit on it because not everybody has something to celebrate. I'm sorry you don't get to tell people that they can't be happy about something just because it doesn't bring joy to 100% of the people. Nothing ever will. You can't just discard all the good things that have come from this country (USA) just because there are also bad things. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

    In these stressful times, please allow others to be happy and to wish others happiness as well.

While I'm not celebrating his possible loss, I am enjoying the "I told ya so" moment!! lol

    On this subject. Is there a way yet to "copy" physical discs to the digital environment? Like to an "Apple TV Library" or such?
    ripping Blurays is entirely possible. check out this software.

    Check out Plex (plex.tv) for streaming your own digital files. And Handbrake for converting rips and Mkv files to more manageable sizes. Blu ray rips can be 40gb. Handbrake can bring those down to 4-6gb.
    Awesome info, guys many thanks!!!!
