Over the years, we've spelled out the name of this industry in a number of ways, however, those differences have never changed what the term means.
This word represents our world, so to speak, and we need to protect it!
What does the word "voiceover" mean to you and what makes it uniquely ours?
Share your thoughts and let the conversation begin!
It's time to protect a word that is rightfully ours!
Recent events have inspired this post. After publishing a blog entry last night, I had some new clarity thanks to a tip sent to me by Elaine Victoria Grey, discovering that there weren't voice actors hired specially to record voiceovers for this generation of the iPod Shuffle... it was reported on the blog Gizmodo this morning to be in fact, quite the opposite.
This was a surprise to me, and I must admit, I was really hoping to find out who got the gig. I love Apple and was excited, thinking perhaps naively, that custom voiceovers were recorded for the iPod Shuffle as the feature named "VoiceOver" suggested.
It is a widely held opinion that text-to-speech (TTS) isn't voiceover, nor are synthetic, aggregated phonemes that when read out by a computer form words and sentences. This technology does have its merits, particularly for the visually impaired, however, it isn't in the truest sense, voiceover.
The term "Voiceover" (and its subsequent variations) belongs to our community of voice artists and audio producers, and we're proud of it!
If there's any doubt in your mind, read the barrage of 68 comments left on the article where the industry debated the spelling of its own name.
Diane Havens, in relation to what Apple is referring to as voiceover, put it nicely today when she said:
"... It is, of course, not a voice over, it's not even really a voice -- it's a synthesized sound that approximates human speech. No smile."
If one were to go back to the origin of the word, "voiceover" actually referred to the laying down of a voice track over music or the like (thank you to Sid Whatley for that via Facebook).
Is the world to believe that synthetic voices are actually voiceovers?
Text-to-speech and synthetic computerized utterances must not prevail...
Say It Loud!
Leave a comment with your thoughts. This is far too important not to speak up for!
Best wishes,

Technology cannot prevail in this instance because it has no "voice". Strictly and scientifically speaking, a "voice" is..."a sound produced by the vocal chords of a vertebrate, esp. a human." (American Heritage Dictionary 3rd Edition). The same dictionary also defines "voice-over/voiceover" (n.) as "the voice of an unseen narrator..."
I'm reminded of my own struggle with my cellphone bluetooth technology. I am consistently forced to replicate the sound that the phone understands to mean names and numbers. In the case of numbers it's an excercise in perfect diction. For names, that's an entirely different story...you have to remove all vowels in the middle of a name to come anywhere close to a pronunciation...of sorts.
Like drum machines, there IS a place for the phonemes but they have no soul and will never replace the original.
Stephanie, I think your post underscores the fact that behind every human voice is a human - with intelligence and personality. Perhaps engineers will find a way to simulate personality as they can now approximate intelligence in limited ways. But I think there is a message here to all voiceover artists: Regardless of whether the client understands this, v/o is not about your voice; it's about "you", the person, talking to "me."Posted by:
I was saddened to learn about the new 'shuffle's' synthetic voice, but NOT surprised.
Apple is probably trying to replicate what they hear on RADIO these days: Boring, Bland & monotone.
It will never replace real voice acting.Posted by:
Computers will always be "readers", they will never be actors.Posted by:
This is yet one more step into devaluing human being completely and turning them into nothing more than nameless/faceless, easily replaceable drones.Posted by:
I agree that the term should only be used for HUMAN voices, but deep inside I can't ignore the fact that, one day, computers will put us ALL out of work.Posted by:
The first issue is the use of the term 'voice-over'. I think our industry has a legitimate complaint and should send it directly to Apple.
Secondly, we are concerned about our own replacement, and I wonder (loudly) about a few things. Can the development and implementation of TTS really be cheaper than hiring voice actors? How much cheaper? What are the costs here? Does it come down to cost, or to humans not wanting to deal with other humans? Why does Apple consider synthesized voice preferable to the human voice?
Stephanie, somebody needs to ask these questions of Apple.
Like it or not, this was no doubt the only practical way for Apple to create this product. There's no way the company could manage the preparation and outsourcing of an artist/title announcement for each of hundreds or thousands of new songs every day, and get them distributed in sync with the MP3s. Let alone afford it.
The only way this could be done with real, human voices would be to have the artists themselves announce their own new songs. That could very well be the next step, now that Apple has created an expectation.
Trying to engage the public in arguing the definition of an industry-niche term such as "voiceover" is not going to elicit sympathy. It sounds like whining to anyone outside our industry.
If we focus on delivering a product with clear benefits to TTS, that's all we can do. The consumer will ultimately decide if he wants to spend more for the real thing, because we already are more expensive than TTS. Just do your best to be worth it.Posted by:
It's unfortunate that they had to use the very term that defines us as artists; the term that defines our career. On the occasions and in the other devices I have heard such synthetic replications of the human voice, I have not heard the actual term 'voice over' used for the feature.
When I first started using Final Draft I found the text-to-speech option nothing more than amusing and as a necessary component for hearing the dialogue 'spoken' when I was alone and needed to gauge pacing; these strange, robotic approximations of human words with no timbre, cadence, emotion, and spoken completely phonetically - thus rendering a word or a name totally unintelligible or different.
I haven't yet heard the feature on Kindle, but I understand there's been a bit of an uproar about it - but more so about breach of intellectual property.
Having said all this, I don't necessarily think it's going to destroy anything for us; it may sound less like Rosie from the Jetsons and more like a very shy person speaking through a tin can, but I too wish they'd chosen a different name. It's only people who are so not tuned in to anything else who may get us confused; someone who has somehow never watched TV or listened radio or seen a film etc who buys the new iPod and then when learning what we do, asks us, wide eyed, 'Oh, you're the one who tells me what song I'm listening to right now? So cool!'Posted by:
We've all seen the direction that technology seems to be taking us. It is ironic that the concept of talking computers could only introduced in the first place because of the talents of voice actors: from Majel Barrett in "Star Trek" to Douglas Rain as HAL 9000 in "2001: A Space Odyssey" to Sigourney Weaver in "WALL•E." Now our computers can talk for themselves. I'm sure that somewhere in the future programers will find some algorithm to synthesize human interpretation and emotion as well. But there is something about the real thing that can never be duplicated. From something as simple as butter substitutes to the most advanced MIDI technology, the artificial product is never quite as good as the real thing. And as excited as I am about every new advance we make as a human species, duplicating human speech or action or thought or whatever this is one thing I hope we never quite get right. Because if we end up being able to create perfect synthetic humans, what need will there be for the original?Posted by:
hey, guys... it's done. And it's not the end of the voice world as we know it! I agree with Paul (above)....to those outside our niche industry, what I'm hearing sounds like whining.
Let's look around: there's a boatload of synthesised insruments available for your recording pleasure...'music' composed and played by computers....avatars selling things... movies made entirely of computer generated characters (with a real voice, I might add). And yet, everyday a child picks up a 'real' instrument and learns to play, people attend 'live' concerts of every type to be bathed in music, films are produced with 'real live' actors and actresses, words are bought to life by 'real' voices for commercials, narrations, audiobooks... and on and on. Keep plugging....there's room for it all!
While I agree with some previous comments that the term voiceover is a very strange choice for this function... I think we'll always have work too as there will always be clients who seek to create a personal experience/encounter for certain services. Too bad for Apple not to go high-quality with this. I love Apple otherwise so that's a disappointment.Posted by:
Folks, the "Brave New World" angst is unnecessary. When the Industrial Revolution came, it was decried as "devaluing human beings," destroying the laborer's connection to the soil and putting him in a dehumanizing, repetitive job. Yet that transformation brought an increase in the average standard of living so great that few can get their brains around it, even now.
Those same "dehumanizing" factory jobs are now being eulogized as the Information Revolution makes them obsolete.
Synthesized voice-surrogates will *certainly* "replace voice acting" in a lot of instances (they already have!) - but never in *all* instances. My prediction is that your human-ness and personality will become much more important in differentiating yourself from your silicon competitors.Posted by:
I think you're absolutely right to want to properly term this new feature. I also agree with Kim that we'll always have work, but I think it's more that it's a misrepresentation of function. It is not voiceover, it is truly text to speech as you have discovered.
I think that we should try to help apple with its' terminology and start a renaming campaign. :)
I'll throw my hat into the ring, and take the first shot across the bow.
I think apple should call it: Applespeak
There you go..
Hi Adam et al,
Thank you very much for your continued discussion on this topic. I find it very interesting to hear everyone's different perspectives and thoughts on the matter.
Just like Coca-Cola said, "You can beat the real thing". That perhaps should serve as our motto where TTS and synthetic voices are concerned.
Anyone else want to add to the conversation? More comments are welcome!
Best wishes,

Pre-optometry is not a major at Southeast Missouri State University. It is possible to gain preparation for optometry school while pursuing any academic major in the university; however, most students find that the preponderance of biology coursework required by optometry schools, and for preparation for the OAT, makes the biomedical sciences option in biology an attractive major. The Biology: Biomedical Sciences option is designed especially for students in the pre-health professions.
Students should see the pre-optometry advisor during their first semester at Southeast. There are only 17 optometry schools in the United States, and the entrance requirements are quite similar with slight variations. Students should be familiar with the entrance requirements for several schools (for example, three schools require two semesters of organic chemistry) and prepare themselves appropriately so they could potentially be eligible for all of those schools. This planning is done in consultation with the pre-optometry advisor in the Department of Biology.

On the 23ed of October, protesters leaving a SHAC-UK(sentencing) solidarity protest at the Georgetown home of Abbot Fund Vice President John Richardson were threatened by police with arrest for tinted windows in a car, for "incommoding" and for refusing to provide ID. All the threats were shown to be bluffs by the fact that if cops can arrest you, they DO arrest you, they do not bluster and threaten. In particular, there is now law in DC against not carrying ID!
Two HLS-related targets received peaceful but very noisy protests that day-Michael Pace of Goldman-Sachs, 1632-B 19th st NW, and John Richardson of Abbot Fund, at 2732 P st NW. There were no problems at Michael Pace's place, minor neighbor problems at John Richardson's-and a police attack against protesters afterwards when people returned to their car.
The protests were held in solidarity with the SHAC-UK defendants, six good activists bein sentenced, possibly to long prison terms, in Britain for peaceful, legal protests just like these two. In addition, Michael Pace was warned that for his company, Goldman-Sachs to send 75 Capitol police with guns (via a false report of shots fired) against protesters at the Goldman-Sachs office at 101 Constitution Ave would just send protesters to his home in addition!

What's Next for Mitt Romney?
Posted on Feb 20, 2013
The twice-beaten presidential contender will return to the national stage with a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference next month, the National Review reports.
Romney's conservative bona fides were the subject of much debate throughout the 2012 presidential primaries. At CPAC last year, the former governor declared that he was "severely conservative," and his choice of venue is interesting, to say the least.
Romney has been sulking in his San Diego manse since losing to President Obama in November, but according to the National Review, he's ready to venture out.

A Must Read - Share
Oscar winner Christoph Waltz showed Germans Austrians do have a sense of a humor when he hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time. In his opening monologue, the Django Unchained star noted that he was the first German-speaking host of SNL ever and highlighted a few failed bits from his homeland, including casual Hitler. The actor capped off the monologue by showing off his impressive vocals with a lovely Austrian song that loosely translated to "Smile, Damn You...

La Jolla, California
The International Surfing Association (ISA), the surfing world's governing authority recognized by the International Olympic Committee, is proud to welcome Ghana to its list of member nations.
The Ghana Surfing Association (GSA), led by President Charles Sampa, is now the country's national governing body (NGB) of the sport.
"It is great to be recognized! We are happy to be part of the ISA family, and we are eager to compete against other African nations as well as internationally," said Sampa. "We hope that competing with others will help us improve our surfing level."
Regarding the sport in his country, GSA president said, "Ghana is a great place to surf! We have several types of waves, beachbreaks, reefs, and point breaks. We are all still learning and practicing, and the most experienced of us teach a lot of kids. Despite the fact that we do not have a lot of boards, we still manage to teach them and they like it a lot."
Fernando Aguerre, President of the ISA, said about the newest member, "We are very happy to welcome Ghana to the surfing movement. Since there are few NGBs in Africa, the ISA is working hard to include more countries from that region. Africa's abundance of perfect waves makes it a great destination for surfing; the sport there has everything it needs to grow. We look forward to the development of surfing in Ghana, along with the continent's surfing leader, South Africa, as the cornerstones of Africa's surfing expansion."
Located in Western Africa, bordering the Gulf of Guinea, between Cote d´Ivoire and Togo, Ghana has a coastline of over 500 km and receives swells primarily from the south. It has several beach and point breaks.

The ISA will hold the first Stand Up Paddle (SUP) World Championship and the first World Bodyboard Championship in 2011.
ISA membership includes the surfing National Governing Bodies of 64 countries on five continents. Its headquarters are located in San Diego, California. It is presided over by Fernando Aguerre (Argentina), first elected President in 1994 in Rio de Janeiro and re-elected seven times since. The ISA's three Vice-Presidents are Alan Atkins (Australia), Mike Gerard (USA) and Karín Sierralta (Peru).

July 21 — To the Editor:
An open letter to Ms. Felicia Thornton and Mr. Jim Gooch:
I have shopped at Market Basket stores for several decades and have been happy with the quality of goods, high level of service and reasonable prices. But it now appears that all that has been accomplished by the Market Basket team led by Arthur T. Demoulas is in danger of seriously unraveling and making all parties losers in the present management struggle. It is highly extraordinary that the vast majority of Market Basket workers and managers are so willing to "lay their jobs on the line" over this struggle. You certainly cannot blithely ignore such an uncommon occurrence of team unanimity.
It is clear that if the board of directors forces their position in this struggle, there will be no Market Basket at all in a year's time. If the board of directors stand by their decision, you must understand that the Market Basket name and good reputation will be forever poisoned and that other grocery chains will take that into consideration in steering away from any possible purchase of the business, i.e. Market Basket will be dead and gone in a year's time. If that is the way you wish to see your investment degenerate, then there is no way anyone can talk any sense into you.
Please reconsider your position and make the singular change necessary to put Market Basket back on track.

Lincolnshire's coast and countryside is waiting to be explored from our pretty Woodhall Spa Club Site located in the Fenlands area of the county. The site enjoys a quiet, rural setting near the Edwardian town of the same name and accommodates some 90 units. It is bordered by trees and offers some secluded pitches. There is a lake on site and you're likely to share your pitch with a variety of wildlife including rabbits and wild birds such as woodpeckers and moorhens. The Edwardian town of Woodhall Spa is within walking distance and offers several places to eat. The Cottage Museum tells the history of the local community and the Kinema in the woods – a unique two-screen cinema – is open seven days a week. If you're looking for sandy beaches head to the popular resort of Skegness and Chapel St Leonards. These are both brimming with activities to keep the whole family entertained. In contrast, the peaceful Lincolnshire Wolds provide a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and gentle valleys, perfect for walking, cycling and wildlife watching. You'll find the market towns of Market Rasen, Louth, Horncastle and Spilsby provide a range of shops and eateries. Aircraft enthusiasts will enjoy the Battle of Britain Air Museum at RAF Coningsby and the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby. Other local attractions include Lincoln Castle and Tattershall Castle, a dramatic red brick tower managed by the National Trust. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local Free range eggs are sold at Brackenside Farm and the Bakery and Delicatessen in Woodhall Spa sells local cheese, bread and cakes.

The toilet facilities looked like they could have done with a clean, but got much better as the week went on. The site facilities ie toilets, showers washing up area's all could do with up dating and more added as most of the time you had to wait for one to come available at any time of day including the washing up block, would be nice if a shelf could be added under the sinks so you can put items underneath while you are washing up. For people who don't like noise should bring ear plugs as the area is surrounded by RAF training depots so you do get a lot of noise from jets flying over head.

It's delicious with the traditional pineapple, but try it with peaches or a combination of cranberries and orange. —Bernardine Melton, Paola, Kansas Get Recipe Blueberry Upside-Down Skillet Cake Living in Maine, I am lucky to have an endless amount of wild blueberries. This recipe's similar to a pineapple upside-down cake. It's easy, light and also great with cranberries. —Nettie Moore, Belfast, Maine Get Recipe Rosy Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake Here's a cake that gets its rosy hue from the rhubarb topping. It's moist on top and light as a feather on the bottom. — Dawn Lowenstein, Hatboro, Pennsylvania Get Recipe Cranberry-Walnut Upside-Down Apple Pie No one will ever guess this gooey treat wasn't made from scratch. The foil pie pan makes it easy to transfer the pie to a serving plate for a company-worthy presentation.—Susan Scarborough, Fernandina Beach, Florida Get Recipe Peach Praline Upside-Down Cake This cake is filled with fresh peaches, roasted Saigon cinnamon, roasted ground ginger and toasted pecans – and that makes it different. — Jeanette Nelson, Sophia, West Virginia Get Recipe Spiced Pear Upside-Down Cake The flavors of fresh, sweet pears and gingerbread blend beautifully in this intriguing variation on pineapple upside-down cake. Leftovers—if there are any—taste great with coffee or tea the next day. —Lisa Varner Charleston, South Carolina Get Recipe Gingered Apple Upside-Down Cake I like that this gingerbread delight is so deeply flavored and delicious.

These easy-to-make, jumbo treats make an attractive dessert for special occasions or everyday. —Barbara Hahn, Park Hills, Missouri Get Recipe Ginger-Pear Upside-Down Pie I think pears deserve to have a starring role in pies more often. To showcase that mellow fruit, I came up with a spiced filling and gooey nut streusel that becomes the topping. —Marcy Kamery, Blasdell, New York Get Recipe Upside-Down Berry Cake This cake is good warm or cold and served with whipped topping or ice cream. It's very moist with loads of flavor and can be whipped up in just minutes. Enjoy! —Candy Scholl, West Sunbury, Pennsylvania Get Recipe Makeover Pecan Upside-Down Cake This moist and tender pecan upside-down cake is packed with pecans and sweetness. Although still not a "light" dessert, it has nearly a third fewer calories and 43 percent less fat than the original! —Mae Johnson, De Ridder, Louisiana Get Recipe Cranberry Upside-Down Muffins Fresh cranberries are readily available here, so I cook with them often. The sweet-tart taste of these pretty muffins adds a festive touch to special-occasion suppers. —Michele Briasco-Brin, Fall River, Massachusetts Get Recipe Upside-Down Apple Cake with Butterscotch Topping This cake is a favorite of mine.

It was a television show that would become a staple of syndication for decades to come, and it all started in a small southern fictional town named Mayberry.
The Andy Griffith Show debuted on the CBS network on October 3rd, 1960. The black-and-white 30-minute situation comedy starred Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor. Taylor was the protector of the small, quiet North Carolina town of Mayberry. His sidekick, played by Don Knotts, was the nervous, law-loving Deputy Barney Fife. Taylor lived with his son, Opie, played by Ron Howard and his Aunt Bee, played by Frances Bavier. Many other supporting characters came and went, such as the town drunk Otis and nuisance Ernest T. Bass.
The show became a huge hit and lasted eight seasons on CBS, including a transition to color for the show's sixth season. That season did not include Knotts as Barney Fife, after he left to film a series of movies.
The show ended at the top, leading the Nielsen ratings by the time it went off the air in 1968. It had two spin-offs, one featuring Gomer Pyle (Gomer Pyle USMC) and another that followed up on the show's supporting characters (Mayberry R.F.D.)

LOUISVILLE PLAYER KEVIN Ware suffered a gruesome leg injury that delayed the Duke-Louisville game for nine minutes today.
Ware jumped to block a shot, and when he came down he broke his leg. The lower part of his leg was perpendicular to the rest of his body.
It was horrific, and CBS only showed the replay once.
Several Louisville players and coach Rick Pitino were crying, some players appeared to vomit on the bench where the injury happened, according to Zach Schronbrun.
Here's the video. It's very graphic.

Space for somersaults and sword fights
When Jeff and Anne Holden bought this four-story Lincoln Park home in 2011, it was in "an ideal location for our family," Ms. Holden recalls, but looking tired inside although just 10 years old.
They launched a thorough interior revamp shortly after Mr. Holden started at Groupon Inc. as senior vice president of product development. By the time the work was completed earlier this year, Mr. Holden had taken a post as chief product officer at Uber Technologies Inc. in San Francisco.
They have listed the five-bedroom, 6,400-square-foot home on Cleveland Avenue for $3.85 million. Jennifer Ames of Coldwell Banker is the listing agent.

One of the best things, especially if you are a sports writer, about the Mountaineer Athletic Club's Coaches Caravan is the chance to talk with several of the head coaches at West Virginia University.
Such was the case when the group recently conducted its annual event at J.P. Henry's Restaurant.
My goal was to talk with each coach about: 1) recruiting; 2) this past season's surprises and disappointments and 3) WVU's new conference-the Big 12.
But, when asked about how recruiting was going for next year's wrestling team, head coach Craig Turnbull elected to go a different direction.
"I'm going to switch your question," explained the veteran leader of the Mountaineers' wrestling program. "I'm going to talk about (former Parkersburg standout) Brandon Rader.
"Brandon had a mercurial ascension in our program. He came in as a freshman and placed in a national tournament. The kid he pinned won the NCAA tournament the next year. His sophomore year he went out and placed again. The person he majored from Ohio State won it all the next two years.
"So, we felt that, after that sophomore year, that he was in place to be West Virginia's first native national champion."
That would not be the case, however, as a near career-ending knee injury forced him to miss most of the 2007-08 season and all of, what would have been, his senior campaign in the old gold and blue.
A medical redshirt was awarded to the 2005 Robert Dutton Award winner, but a shoulder injury suffered in his fourth match during the 2009-10 season sent him to the sidelines for the remainder of his collegiate career.
A promising career that looked to be over.
"He (Rader) had an injury that was almost career ending," explained Turnbull. "He came back, but, unfortunately, he felt so much pressure to get back to where he was that he never quite got there."
The story could have ended there. Except this was the same Brandon Rader who had posted a 161-9 mark during his high school career and claimed titles at the prestigious POWERade Championships and the Beast of the East Tournament as well as taking third place at the Ironman Tournament.
"He entered our Olympic development program and he is close to wrestling in that elite category where making a world team is not out of the question," continued the coach.
"So, we are very excited for Brandon."
The Milan Olympic Development program donates four full time jobs with part time hours for Olympic quality athletes. Thanks to Turnbull's efforts, as well as Rader's determination, the Parkersburg native was awarded one of those spots.
"That gives him a real shot of making the World or Olympic team during this next cycle," said Turnbull.
One of only six Mountaineer wrestlers to earn muliple All-American honors, Rader finished with a 56-12 overall mark at WVU with 15 pins and a 17-3 dual record.

Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by ZapBrannigan, Mar 27, 2013.
JJTrek is a two movie chronology!
Its called a branching timeline. The split happens in 2233 at the birth of James T. Kirk. Pretty sure that was covered in the film it's self. You'd think a guy named "Timewalker" could wrap his brain around that. You don't need to "reconcile" them, because they are parallel. A Chronology would reference both timelines, because both are Star Trek.
Whatever happened to James Dixon?
This place was never the same after he disappeared...
It's not pathological. It's based on a well-founded opinion that his version of Star Trek is utter crap.
Anybody attempting an updated Chronology book would find it difficult to reconcile both versions of Star Trek in the same book as THE definitive chronology.
And... you'd think that anybody who takes the trouble to bash me over my anti-Abrams opinions could bother to be observant enough to notice that I'M NOT A GUY. Think you can wrap your brain around that?
I forced myself to watch this piece of garbage that calls itself "Star Trek" and was not the slightest bit impressed. If Abrams wanted to make an outer space movie, why didn't he create something original instead of ripping off something that didn't need "re-imagining"?
As for my username, I'm also a Whovian, a fan of the old Voyagers! series, and I'm very fond of alternate history and time travel novels in general. But that doesn't mean I have to automatically like some lazily-imagined ripoff of Star Trek (damn, Leonard Nimoy really is a trooper for appearing in this movie - or else he needed the money...).
Why? Explain that. If its definitive it has to include every incarnation of Star Trek. That would include entries on all alternative timelines and parallel universes.
I didn't bash you at all. I've no recollection of you mentioning your gender or your opinions on Abrams previously. So neither one has bearing on what I posted. All I said was the new films are part of Star Trek and should be included in any definitive chronology. "Guy" is somewhat gender neutral anyway.
That's fine. Still not a good enough reason to not include it in a definitive chronology.
Didn't say you should. Just that with such a name you should understand the concept of things like alternate universes, branching timeline and the multi worlds interpretation and how that might be included in a definitive Star Trek chronology. That you're a fan of Doctor Who, alternate history and time travel only re-enforces that.
There are certain movies, individual episodes and one entire series I don't like. I would however include all of them in any chronology, no matter how much I might despise them, because they are Star Trek.
I was a little tough on the Okudas earlier in the thread, but all the same I would seriously still buy an updated copy of this. There's so much more new material that could be added since the last edition (1996?), including of course that Paramount has now pronounced the TAS as canon, or near enough to it.
I do still take whatever the Chronology actually says with a grain of salt, however. It's a great book, but not a definitive text IMO.
If you're talking about the one published in 1980, I think that one is terrific.
John Ford used it as a reference for his novels, and that's about as good as it can get IMO. Plus it has the refit as ENTERPRISE-class, so that puts it over the top, since I don't believe the Okuda version of all that (what he had put on screen in TUC ) in the slightest.
EDIT ADDON: Man, I miss Dixon. I got a few warnings defending his views, and didn't mind those in the slightest. Guy really had a good line on the whole Enterprise-class thing as I recall.
Can't imagine why anybody would care to add the Abramsverse into this at all, since it has precious little to do with TREK. It doesn't seem to jive with TREK even before Kirk's birth, given what we see of the KELVIN, but I am no expert on it, since I found the movie so utterly sucky (one dvd viewing and most of one streaming viewing) I'm not likely to give it another view in this lifetime.
At the time of its publication, then-Paramount Licensing and later Viacom Licensing (now CBS Consumer Products), were telling the editors of the Star Trek tie-in books, novels and RPGs to consider the dates in the Chronology as canonical for them, to start keeping things consistent. But the writers for the varis ST TV series and movies were not constrained by the Chronology and can (and did) make many changes to the Okudas' "conjectures".
It was never intended to be. Neither was the Goldsteins' version.
It's been awhile, Trev! Good to see you still fighting the fight.
Yeah, Dixon- for all his faults- really defined what it meant to be a Trekkie. He was the "fan" in "fanatic" to be sure. And because his inversely iconoclastic views were from a different era of Star Trek fandom, his prowling a place like the TrekBBS was like letting a velociraptor loose in Time Square. It was never bound to end well. But hell, that chronology of his... Wow. Just... Wow.
Not at all. At the end of the Prime-chonology Romulus is destroyed by a supernova, and Nero and Spock fall into the black hole.
Next chapter: Alternate Reality. Beginning 2233 and documenting events from the new movies and notable divergences from the old timeline.
Fan sites like Memory Alpha have shown that an encyclopedia could incorporate both without trouble, merely noting which entries are unique to the new version of history.
I've wanted to see a new take on the original Star Trek since 1989. I loved how it turned out and can't wait for the next one. And I still love The Original Series as much as ever. Each to their own.
EliyahuQeoni has a quote from Leonard Nimoy in his sig, which sums up the difference between your mindset and his:
Canon is only important to certain people because they have to cling to their knowledge of the minutiae. Open your mind! Be a Star Trek fan and open your mind and say, 'Where does Star Trek want to take me now'
James Dixon can be found on this forum here. Most of the members, if not all, are James Dixon.
There's a nice way around this.
Early in SS, Kirk mistook Khan's DY spaceship for a much later version. Even through he was corrected by Spock, he continued to think of the ship as be from the era that constructed DY500s'. Kirk would often place his own perceptions ahead of Spock's (sometimes rightly).
When Khan asked Kirk "how long," Kirk told him about two centuries. Again based on Kirk earlier misconception of when Khan's ship was from.
Fifteen years later, Khan was still operating off the (mistaken) notion that he was about two centuries in the future. We have no idea just how quickly Marla was killed and from where else would Khan have learn of the correct date?
That is frickin' genius, and I buy it completely. I'm a 300-years-from-NBC-broadcast guy and I like the cut of your jib!
Regarding the Abramsverse, which I do not buy into, has anybody mentioned Chekov?
In TOS Season 2, Kirk was 34 years old (Deadly Years) and Chekov was 22 (Who Mourns).
Then in the ST-XI, they're much closer in age. It can't be the same Chekov.
I like your theory, unfortunately Khan could have picked up the date from the Enterprise's computer banks which he was given access to while in sickbay.
I think he was more interested in the technical specifications of the ship he was on NOW. Plus, all dating would be in Stardates - hardly useful for a time & date check using the Old World Calendar.
That happened long after the tinelines diverged in 2233, so even if Mama and Papa Chekov had a son earlier, it would not conflict with anything that happened in The Original Series.
Or perhaps Chekov-Prime told Kirk a little fib in "Who Mourns for Adonais", for reasons only he can fathom. He was an odd duck.
This is extremely debatable, firstly while it's your opinion and that's fine, the evidence would suggest it was both critically and commercially well received..in fact, that statistics show it was the MOST well received of any of the movies. Therefore the statement including "well-founded" is actually completely wrong. Simply saying "opinion" would have been correct.
That reads like typical Nimoy being the eternal cheerleader.
He should be reminded that in recent history, opening the mind led to exposure to BS like Voyager, Enterprise, and the Berman TNG movies--none worth the effort in front of cameras, and went a long way in destroying the appeal of the franchise.
No TV or film franchise in history was immune to garbage entries.
Geez, folks! All I suggested was includinag an appendix to cover the Abrams version of the continuity. Seperate from the main body of the chronology. Easy enough to ignore if you have no interest and/or are rpone to spasm over the mere thought of such a thing.
Besides, it's not like a new edition of the Chronology is likely to be published anytime soon.
Separate names with a comma.

NEW DELHI: JD-U president and NDA convenor Sharad Yadav today said BJP leader L K Advani's contention that after the next elections there may be a non-BJP, non- Congress Prime Minister is based on "prediction" and he does not agree with it.
"L K Advani is the NDA working chairperson. But he has predicted and I do not go by prediction. UPA will go (after the elections) and NDA will put up a fight," Yadav told reporters here.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi tennis teams enjoyed success on day two of the 2010 Islanders Open and are positioned to compete for both the men's and women's individual and doubles titles on Monday.
Despite rain forcing all matches indoors, the individual players pushed through it and played throughout Friday evening to get in as many matches as possible after starting late in the afternoon.
Sandra Burges won a 6-3, 6-3 match over Brittany Tobin to end the opening day. Mia Matuszak won a 1-6, 6-4, 10-6 final and men's player James Langford took a 6-4, 6-3 win to complete the other Islanders matches on the day.
On day two, Laurent Montoisy started it off by dominating Cody McCarty of Abilene Christian by a 6-0, 6-1 final. Duje Janjic lost to John Strahl of ACU for the right to face Montoisy in the third round. Montoisy took control of the match with Strahl as well, winning 6-1, 6-0 to move into the quarterfinals on Monday.
Aurelien Tave beat Wes Strahl from ACU by a 6-0, 6-2 score to move on to face fellow Islanders player Matt Westmoreland after Westmoreland beat Victor Alves of UTPA 6-1, 6-1 in the second round. Tave got past Westmoreland and into the quarters against Montoisy by taking a 6-3, 6-4 match.
In the bottom half of the bracket, the Islanders pair of Robert Raguz and Andrew Maingot played in the second round with Raguz taking a 6-1, 6-2 win. Alex Pavlov beat Jake Hendrie of ACU in a close match by a 7-6, 6-4 score.
Langford lost in the second round by a 7-5, 6-3 final against Alfredo Desiati of ACU. Raguz later faced the ACU player as well, taking a 6-3, 6-0 loss to Desiati. Raguz played teammate Nathan Robinson in the third round, taking a three-set win by a 5-7, 6-4, 10-8 final after dropping the opening set.
The final four in the men's bracket has Montoisy and Tave competing to meet the winner of Raguz and Desiati. The four will play until a champion is crowned on Monday afternoon.
On the women's side, defending champion Mirna Cicak won her only match of the day, a 6-2, 6-1 final over Wanda Beguelin of UTPA.
Stefania Nicolae won in dramatic fashion once again, taking a 3-6, 6-1, 10-5 final over Bryony Hunter of Houston after losing the opening set for the second-straight match. Nadia Filmalter won her first match 6-2, 6-4 over Alessandra Pennesi of Lamar before losing 6-2, 6-1 to Hunter.
LeAnn Mascall won both of her singles matches on the day, taking a 6-4, 6-2 final over Dana Nazarova of UTPA in round one and beating Alicia Porte of Lamar by a 6-7, 6-4, 11-9 score.
Burges lost her second round match to Joanna Kacprzyk from UH by a 6-0, 6-1 final. Freshman Ashley Garza lost her opening round match to Giorgia Pozzan of UH by a 6-0, 6-1 tally. Matuszak lost a 6-3, 6-3 match to top-seeded Kim Anciete of Rice to round out singles play on the first day.
In doubles matches, Cicak and Nicolae won 8-1 over Strkie and Raty from UTPA. Other Islanders pairs were not as fortunate as Matuszak and Mascall lost a 8-6 match to Pennesi and Mayagoitia for Lamar, Bianca Discordia and Burges lost 8-5 to Kacprzyk and Kazimieruk of UH and Filmalter and Garza lost 8-2 to Anciete and Shankar from Rice.
On the men's side, Montoisy and Raguz beat Robinson and Maingot 8-2 while Westmoreland and Tave took down McCarty and Strahl from ACU by an 8-6 final.
The final day of the Islanders Open will be on Monday, with schedules still yet to be finalized due to the inclement weather in the area. Check for updates and full match results on Monday evening at www.GoIslanders.com.

Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a type of vector-borne zoonosis sensitive to climate change. To explore the short-term effect of air temperature and amount of precipitation on HFRS incidence, a total of 13 722 clinically confirmed HFRS cases from January 1977 to December 2001 in Junan County, China were included in this study. According to symmetric bidirectional case-crossover design, the hazard period (the three calendar months preceding the month when the case was diagnosed) and the control period (the same calendar month of the year before and the year after the hazard period) matched and conditional logistic regression was used to examine the effect of monthly mean temperature and precipitation on the risk of HFRS. The results showed the facilitating climatic conditions for HFRS included: condition with moderate mean air temperature (10–25 °C) and abundant precipitation (>120 mm) 3 months before [odds ratio (OR) 1·346, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·191–1·522] and 2 months before (OR 1·193, 95% CI 1·063–1·339); and condition with temperature >25 °C and abundant precipitation (>120 mm) 3 months before (OR 1·17, 95% CI 1·004–1·363). Temperature of 10–25 °C and moderate precipitation (10–120 mm) in the current month was the most favourable condition for HFRS incidence.

NEW DELHI: DTH majors and multi system operators (MSOs) are now engaged in a spat over the new digital delivery system — headend in the sky (HITS). DTH players like Tata Sky and Bharti Airtel have told telecom regulator Trai that MSOs who provide this service must do so only through cable operators and not directly to the end-subscriber.
They have argued that if MSOs are allowed to offer this service directly to the end-user, there would be no differentiation between DTH and HITS platform. On the other hand, MSOs are of the view that they must be permitted to offer this service to both cable operators and also directly to customers.
