Read the noobie posting guidelines. This thread is ridiculous and now locked. Next time you are so direct at ignoring the forum protocol I'll warn you. *link in my signature -- read ALL three*

Wow, missed this. Your approach is interesting; however, the choice of materials is confusing...unless doctored. To block sound (which I am sure is your problem) you need mass. Fiberglass is REALLY light. That being said it's a sticky medium that will allow you to add other things that have mass. You should also try to isolate/float this mass barrier above the surface. First step is some CLD to kill the vibe, then an isolation layer, and then your mass layer. Glassing sealing in the mass layer is interesting but perhaps not necessary. That being said if you are already part way done you are still going to need to isolate and add a mass layer if you want it to really work.

I do always wonder for those that eat tuna out of a can why you don't just buy portions of frozen tuna sashimi. Tons of ways to add very little to it and make it super yummy.

And first time out AFTER all the mise en place, give yourself 15 minutes to make it and then 10 for the second batch to actually eat. As for a general cooking lesson. There are two things I'd ALWAYS teach first. 1) Knife skills and 2) mise en place as without that sort of planning every meal will end up being eating tuna out of a can and then having something else. I like my meals integrated.

I can go from nothing to full breakfast in this mode including with cut fruit in about 10 minutes. I do cheat though as I have two ovens. I put one on warm (170) and the other on broil. I like to broil the english muffins as I think they are better only cooked on the cut surface. You could make your life easier and use a toaster, but don't toast them deeply. I then multi task. I use the broiler to brown the muffins and meat. Have the water boiling for the eggs and drop the eggs into the water about the time I finish integrating the butter. While the water boils I cut the fruit. Garnish to your liking. Some fresh tarragon from the spice garden doesn't suck, nor does italian parsley, an olive, some seafood or plenty of other things. I adjust the amount of lemon depending on the protein used. ie, seafood needs more than canadian bacon.

Once the double boiler is warm. Add the egg yolks. From this point on you CANNOT stop stirring. As they start to thicken add a little of the water. Keep doing this until you are out of water. About 3-4 times. Once this happens you'll get to pull the double boiler off the heat. Start adding 1-2 pats of butter at a time and whisking them in to melt. If necessary put back over the boiling water (not touching) to gain heat. Take your time an emuslify the rest of the butter. Once it is all integrated add enough lemon juice to taste. You'll need at least a teaspoon and potentially a couple. Since you have them in a little boil add a little at a time until it tastes right to you. Once you are here. Add salt, white pepper and cayenne to taste. Now throw your first batch away and do it over. Doing it twice in a row will only waste a stick of butter and the eggs but will seriously help you master it.

While your water is starting to boil, you can start your hollandaise. Need water boiling under a double boiler. Have ready: 3 egg yolks A stick of butter cut into little pats some cayenne pepper a few tbsp of water a couple tsp of lemon juice

Warm Canadian bacon. Slightly toast a English Muffin under the broiler.

Poaching eggs is lesson 1: Get a large pot of water boiling. Add a heavy splash of white vinegar to it. Once it's rolling crack in your eggs and roll them out of the shell to keep them intact. Set a timer for 3 minutes and they are DONE. I'd use normal large eggs and adjust the timing slightly if they are larger or smaller. Mine vary a lot since they are from the farm.

I want to know how to make eggs Benedict. Need a double boiler then it's easy.

If you went used the older Alpine's control the H701. I don't understand the 3 rca set request without asking for active crossovers.

First snowmami of the year is supposed to hit MN today.

Sales figures Not worldwide... Yeah, but I live and work in the US. Our industry in the States is completely different from the rest of the world. I don't mean just sales figures either. OBDII is unique to the US, and so are many other forced safety and emissions products. Our diagnosis and repair are worlds apart from anywhere else in the world. I agree that diesel sales have been a failure here, but for that I blame the fucking dipshit liberals and their stupid policies. Big government, over regulation, and of course scare tactics are the reason. Fucking sucks too, because I really wanted a Q7 V12 Diesel

I admit that I'm too lazy to devote the necessary time to learn how to manipulate digital photos, as well as raw image files, using software. I barely find enough time to shoot as it is with school, girlfriend, and other bits of life's bullshit. Hence my interest in a more hardware oriented solution. Of course, in my opinion, no amount of filtration beats optimal lighting. But it sure as beats lackluster lighting without using any filters at all. And seeing as I don't have as much time as I like, lackluster lighting is almost always what I get. Yep, and I am a moron. Went out on the lake yesterday to shoot some Panorama's of the leaves and left off the polarizer. I didn't notice because I was wearing my Maui Jim's. Speaking of, any good software for making a pana pic? I've never done it before.

lol. mine disappeared too Seriously? Sure it appeared? We don't remove posts on this forum outside of SPAM or when things get seriously ugly (then you get a PM). I just checked where the posts that get removed go to and there weren't any there. I have seen a few database problems where my posts haven't updated lately, but I haven't seen anything disappear.

I usually respond in context

The comment wasn't on the nutritional valour but the flavor

You eat mercury fish out of a can...why would I expect any less. If you scramble them I'd personally do it before they hit the pan. As for a ton in, the general rule of thumb for anything (that isn't uber thin) is to never fill a pan. Without space around the food things stick, don't brown, need more oil and so on. That pan is big enough for 2-3 sunny sides.

And make so many eggs in one pan. DB

Oh come on, the drive from KC to Wichita is EXCITING. You pass A reservoir.

If that was the case, you seriously had a crap box for the Fi Q, sacrificed a ton of FR, or have a strange definition of "low end" Q was in a 6.5 cube box tuned to 32 with around 80 in^2 of port. OA-12 was in a 2:1 box with 1 cube sealed and 2 cubes ported tuned to 40hz with an 8" sonotube. And by low end I mean 28-33hz. The Q did better on anything below 28hz and was louder at around 37hz+ Edit: both had a frequency range of about mid 20's to 50hz So you were impressed by a 5Hz pass band??? ROFL. Yay fartbox!! And you should realize you could have designed your ported box to have a peak to beat it as well. Of course, the rest of the morons pushing 4th order BP won't. Please don't turn this into some pissing contest, I was just giving my opinion/experiences. No pissing contest, I was clarifying as your original statement was misleading to the OP. You stated it was better on the bottom end, but didn't do a fair comparison in building a ported box to have the same "bottom end" as the BP box. Had you (and even used the same driver) the results would have been as good or better. It really isn't fair to compare and apple to an orange and declare a winner, my goal was only to make sure the OP understood that. Hopefully this helped you as well.

This is the most helpful post ive read on the DD-1, I was dumb and blew the money on one. Its got some uses but not many because music also has more distortion than a sine wave. I can set my gains with the DD1 on sine waves but as soon as I put on music to check it, its showing distortion. Only really thing ive liked it for is for testing songs to see which have a lot of inaudible distortion. Also makes you look more professional when you pull out it to tune someone's system. Although I just tune it by ear any ways. Actually doesn't work for that either. The algorithm shows any non-excitation frequency as distortion since it isn't truly even measuring THD. As for the other uses you think it has, I am interested but I doubt you'll like my retort. OK I understand, Least it looks good in my toolbox, and no M5 I respect your knowledge and have learned a great deal from reading your posts. Would love some of your knowledge on front stages for my build. Glad I can help the learning. As for the front stage, just make a thread As for the looks good in your toolbox, well it'd look better if you sold it and had some cash. I'm sure some SMD boneriffic follower will gladly buy it from you. I am still interested in what other things you've been encouraged to use it for as good uses. Since this thread will be helpful to others confused by the misconceptions laid out on SMD I'd gladly diffuse those uses. At the same time, if you had a valid one I'd also embrace it. Surely keep them in the third person as my goal is not at all to call you out, but only to help others perceive the real reality in how they would waste their money if they bought it.
