Welcome to the IHoP

[ssh 924]

I'd work on reducing grains (or completely remove if your alright without it), dairy is okay, some people cut it out, others still use it. Fruit is fine, but I still wouldn't eat a TON of it.

Saturated fat is fine, cholesterol is fine, but I wouldn't eat anything processed, or with polyunsaturated fat, hydrogenated, or high-fructose-corn-syrup.

Start using coconut oil, butter, olive oil for cooking instead of canola.

No need to remove grains. Just remove the ultra processed ones. If you want bread, make it yourself. Same with pasta. I can buy raw grains right at the coop, grind them in the vitamix and make whatever I want. Perfectly good for you. The classic

If you need a high heat oil instead of canola use grapeseed. We have some canola oil in the house for unusually delicate baking items but otherwise don't use it. We probably go through 10 gal of olive oil a year though. Lard is also an acceptable fat. Tastes fucking yummy too. And again no reason to make this complicated. I don't care about polyblablablab, hyrdoblabla etc but if it has more than a single ingredient it makes it easy.

Here are two other diets that I consider not only healthy, but eye opening and educational as well. I made these up to challenge one of my friends who tries everything but the right things. He tried both and they worked WAY better than any other BS diet or program I've seen.

1) The don't eat the same meal 2x in a month diet. This one is hard for most people, but not for me. It's how I prefer to live. My exception of course is breakfast, but that might have 3 duplicate meals in a month.

2) Eat 12 cups of vegetables a day. This might be one of the healthier things you can do.

Those were both geared to my ever expanding friend who basically if left to his own eats beef, american cheese and sugar.

Could certainly be challenging, but I don't see anything wrong with rotating through the same healthy foods, unless one becomes tired of the same food.

I just don't like canola oil or unsaturated fat because it's not very stable, easy to oxidize.

I'm sure it's not a huge deal to have here and there, but I figure even a little bit everyday adds up to a lot over a lifetime.

Potatoes are my exception to grains.

That Aura buy out only had 2 and 4 channel amps?

How much space do you for everything Sean? Sounds like a couple bigger more expensive amps, or a few smaller ones together, in combo with minidsp.

Really loving dubstep more and more every week.

I haven't bought anything from him, but from his free pdfs, and constant new posts you should be fine without it.

Get her a chin up bar that goes between a doorway. Cost less then $50 and it'll do more good then dumb bells.

She can also do plank, reverse plank, hollow hold, superman hold, and tuck planche progressions. Those can be done on the ground, and nothing is needed, all static body weight holds.

We will be quitting grains because it forces us to eat something better for ourselves. Sean is right, after the first week it wasn't really a problem for me.

Really, the more important part to me is her workout. I really need to get her something that she can do and stick to and she honestly leaves something that gives her no choice but to do it

no the 60 gig is.. the 8 is for music and porn

I have a 30gb SSD running windows and for that other stuff I have more than 3TB

I've been planing to do that for months (SSD for Windows).

Young jedi, you question the details but not the meaning. The reason is simple. Most people who have dietary problems eat the same crap all the time. It isn't a problem because it's repetitive, but that it's crap. Then you repeat it. As a diet, if you can only have the crap you like to eat a lot once a month your diet instantly becomes WAY healthier.

As with ANY thing you are trying to conquer in life, the best and first step is to start a log and keep track of it. Write down everything you eat. That alone may be enough of a "diet" to straighten things out. The amount of shit that goes into your stomach in the US is fucking terrible. Knowing it's happening is a start.

Space can be made, but then it's easy. I'd prefer 2 amps, but can go three. If I go three then one amp can be for horns and full range, one for the sub and one for the mids.

Of course a Memphis Belle and a 1000.4 would do it as well.

The volume knobs are a whole additional concern....but I may just do this the serious old school way.

Why cut out the grains? One of the best things in life is real bread and all the anti-carb anti-grain propaganda I hold very little faith in. Just make them good grains.

Full range, 500w x2 at 4 ohms. Used. Older & cheaper the better. Serious heatsinks and not opposed to fans. Efficiency wouldn't suck, but will be the compromise. Mono (1000w x1 at 2ohm is okay as well) as is 250w x4 at 8ohms.

My brain fucking shut off. So far I've got:

Zapco 1000.4

And yes, I'd compromise on less power if it's in the ball park.

And I'd prefer two of them..but one half of the 4 channels needs to be bridgeable.

What about 2 750.2's ?

I don't really want to run four amps....

Perhaps I should have said, I need:

Mids: 500w x2 (4ohms) or 250 x4 at or 1000w 1 at 2ohm

Tweeters: 50w x1 at 4

Coaxes: >100w x2 at 2

Sub: >500w at whatever

ROFL. Two 1000.4's would have been perfect.

You should have bought those, it's not something to pass up

I'd actually rather have the non-DC versions...otherwise I would have.

[///M5 2,833]

Of course, had I known now what I should have realized then I'd have bought them anyways.

[///M5 2,833]

Who is this guy?

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/mono-amplifiers/118330-zapco-dc1100-1-bnib.html

And what's with the I can "guarantee" has someone been making Zap knock-off's?

[///M5 2,833]

Doh! Ignore that post.

I searched for 1000.4 and guess what came up? Something I don't need! Who buys a DC series amp for their sub, lol.

That was supposed to be a link to the SSA store.

Hey gents, posted my p9 combo for sale up here and DIY. If you haven't checked it out you should. Send me a PM if you have any questions for me. Hope everyone has been doing well.

SSA just added them, I think they use the same, or similar buildhouse as sundown.

As to the "who is this?", Only your favorite person.

[jonbearsmt 919]

found my issue.. it was the Ethernet card...second one in the past few months to go bad on me... any one have an idea of what may be causing them to shit out on me?

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Supervisor X informs us Saturday morning we're going from six 12 hour days down to six 10 hour days starting Monday. On Monday, our schedule is 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM. The remaining week our schedule is 6:00 AM - 4:30 PM. I'm off on Sunday and Monday goes by without a hitch.

Bright and early I arrive later than I normally do. In a hurried panic I race to grab my time card and clock in on time. 5:50 AM! Excellent!

...then I turn around and realize I'm the only one there...

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Turns out Supervisor X told Coworker Y that he forgot to tell the dayshift crew that the schedule has changed. Today, like Monday, is supposed to be 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM. Since I'm temporary help, Coworker Y does not have my contact information and I end up being the only one showing up by 6:00 AM.

And yes, I was "allowed" to leave at 4:30 PM. Other than that a pretty decent day.
