So I lost all that shit on my hdd, and ended up recovering most of it to a new hdd. So what do I do this morning? Wrote an image file right over the new drive! Oh well.

A foot long pipe over the handle can be a beautiful thing.

Sweet. Have you applied anywhere yet, or going "now what?"

Life sounds good mike.

Stop reading into things what you want to read and instead open your mind a bit. I was helping you with YOUR goals, not mine. I think the idea is absolutely fucking stupid. I FULLY understand your position and don't agree with any of it. My reference to doing it right was to help you maximize YOUR goals which I know has nothing to do with SQ.You really need to open your mind a bit, it'll help a ton. How do you intend to help me with my goals on a project you consider stupid? Don't reply to my stuff if you only intend to shoot it down in every aspect, I don't need that kind of input; I'm trying to have fun here, not deal with salty audiophiles who consider anything less a waste.You only point out flaws and fail to suggest any alternatives within reason. I am shit ass poor, so if you can't find a solution within that parameter, keep it to yourself. To your comment in response to my headphones weather resistance, durability is first priority over sound quality. What use is a nice sounding set if it's ruined? And what use is a set of shitty sounding speakers that are weather proof? There are things in this world that can be custom built and perform better than off the shelf, but this instance is not one of them--that is why people are not offering help to your irrational project.

I was not impressed with the MS8. Only way I could get it to approach decent sound was by disabling the auto tune (also happens to remove T/A, which sucks), and spending six months tweaking the settings. Ordered a minidsp, used the xo settings from the MS8 as a starting point, and after an hour everything sounded better--zero compromise. The auto tune on the MS8 in my install made the sound sterile, lifeless, and robbed me of my midbass. Tuning was an absolute bitching having to run through the setup wizard everytime you wanted to change a filter setting. Just my two cents. ever try the REW auto tune to compare against the ms8 auto tune? i'm guessing both are equally shit I have not--don't have a mic.

Pass the crack pipe baby girl.

So I recovered everything I deleted, but it's all dumped into one folder. Splitting by size and file type to get all my music back (hundred gigs or so), and then looking through everything else for anything uber important. Talk about self-pwnage.

I neg'd dumbass so it matches everyone else.

Well I fucked up. Wrote some code to delete a folder recursively, and it ended up deleting a huge portion of the hdd. Hopefully I can get it all back.

What's your SSN?

Why don't you just buy some studio type head phones? You can grab a pair of Denons pretty cheap, and they'll perform better than anything you can rig up.

Divison by zero...

Just got pulled over, and I got a warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck yeah. "I appreciate it officer."

Speaking of this GenerationUcan has a product called superstarches and they've been able to make the GL incredibly low, so for endurance atheletes it's pretty stellar (Getting glucose in without disturbing fat oxidation).

Start clearing the schedule?

"You gotta pay to play," so to speak. Yeah pretty much. Everyone is different, effort vs reward, and law of diminishing returns comes into play. For me I've had two goals: healthy eating, and muscle gain. Initially I took what I believe as healthy eating as precedence over muscle gain, but after eleven months of such I've grown lazy and unmotivated. So now I take muscle gain over what I consider healthy, and so I pretty much eat anything as long as it's not heavily processed, or primarily sugar, and whatever it is, I eat as much as I possibly can. So everything that I've learned about nutition for me right now is utterly useless. Though in a few years when I'm no longer an ectomorph than I'd like to believe that I'll shift my eating back to being healthy instead of piling almost anything into my mouth.

Once glycogen stores are depleted, muscle protein is catabolized into glucose as needed. Burning fat can't fuel the body for everything. Ketosis can play a big role here, but I don't want to expand on that unless specifically asked. As it was explained to me the body is a fat storing entity. It stores fat so that it can use it for energy later. The body is not a muscle storing or making entity otherwise we would all sit around and get ripped from doing nothing. Now to answer truconcepts question it really depends. In my case i have not seen any muscle loss. When i have been at 189lb's of muscle for the longest whether i went up in weight or down, the percentage of bf has stayed at 189lb for whatever reason. so last month I did the eat every 3hrs diet and still worked out as usual. I lost maybe 2lbs This month i have been doing intermittent fasting, which technically isn't eating less. Instead you dont eat for atleast 16hrs and have an 8hr eating window where you consume all of your calories. My personal window however is been more like 2-4hrs and eating considerably less calories, but lots of protein within that time. Now i still work out with heavy weights, I believe that this preserves muscle as well, because your body isn't going to respond to that stress by throwing out whats keeping those weights moving. Now I have dropped to more than 10lbs. within 3 weeks, 16% bf still leaving me at 189lbs of muscle. As they say u cannot gain and cut at the same time and i see why. HOWEVER.............. everyones body reacts to things differently. Insulin resistant Carb sensitive thyroid problems it really depends on what works for you. Now 5yrs from now maybe i will have found something better who knows, the body is an adaptive beast. stefan I am interested to hear what you have to say as well. I agree your body cannot use fat for everything, but the majority of what you burn while sitting, walking is fat. Thus the labels on treadmills and other machines that have a cardio, heart healthy and fat burn chart. usually fat burn is 130-140 for heart rate. the best analogy i have read is that the body is like a boat. It will throw out what it doesn't need before it throws out the essentials. If you are lifting heavy I believe that your body considers your muscles essential. Now if you strain yourself and your heart rate stays sky high then your body or boat is going to panic and do all it can to keep that boat going. Sorry I didn't see this earlier, and reply.The percentage of fat that can be used for energy is directly proportional to VO2 Max. *A ketogenic diet will alter this energy substrate % vs VO2 Max. So yeah I definitely agree that fat can be used for the majority of one's energy requirements, but during high intensity work the body primarily uses glucose, and when glycogen stores are depleted then the body converts muscle protein into glucose by gluconeogenesis. So the above statement about muscle not being used for energy until ALL fat is gone is technically incorrect, but it's probably a better explanation to the average person as otherwise they'll overreact and believe they'll lose all their hard earned muscle if they miss a few meals here and there, or if they forget to take their protein shake/carb shake. ---------- Now I'll be a little more anal: in the beginning you state that more calories consumed than burned off equals fat gain, and vice versa, but calories are not always equal. A calorie is based on the amount of energy required to heat one gram of water 1C from burning food. 9kcal per gram fat, 4kcal per gram protein, 4kcal per gram glucose. Now the issue we run into is that the amount of energy required to digest and absorb each substrate is not equal, and neither are our metabolic pathways. No system is 100% efficient, and we are no exception. In simple terms food composition does affect the amount of energy being used, and at what substrate proportions. Generally this is all a moot point, but sometimes it does matter. Gary Taubes has an excellent presentation about it, video is a bit long, but worth watching if you have time. --- At least this is all what I choose to believe.

All that work and no fiberglass--I don't understand.

Looks nice Sean.
