Sorry to hear that. I was in a similar situation where an accident ruined my chances of being a surgeon. I was a 3rd year med student riding my motorcycle around the Texas Medical Center and a car changed lanes across a solid white line and pushed me off the road, where I totally shattered my left wrist. That happened less than an hour after I was cutting 10-0 sutures on eyeballs in the operating room while using that left hand, and the damage ruined my chances at being an ophthalmology surgeon (which I really enjoyed). I was quite ambidextrous up to that point, before the permanent nerve damage such, and that is very helpful in a surgical career. I've got good range of motion back, but the left hand/arm has been weaker and arthritis is setting in, and the sensation has never been normal in that hand afterwards. Interestingly, while I still had external fixation pins in my wrist and wearing a brace I was able to do a spinal tap on a small child, which eventually led me down the path of pediatrics instead. Surgery was more exiting and more lucrative, but pediatrics was very rewarding too - kids bounce back to health a lot better than adults do.

No I don't know, sorry - but it cuts the bass down a little bit, bumps the mids up a bit, and removes a small lower treble peak I think. Without EQ both phones (Nuforce Sony) have a V-shaped curve with recessed mids, but the HP-800 bass quantity is several dB above that of the MDR-V6. It's not an upper bass boost that bleeds too much into the mids. Somehow the Nuforce HD player beta reduces the cupped hands mid a little too, which I didn't think EQ could help with before. I might dig out the MDR-V6 and they them with the HP-800 setting on the HD player. But I'm not feeling good and it's too much trouble right now.

I forgot to mention that a lot of my listening was with the beta tester Nuforce HD player that has an EQ optimized for the HP-800, and it makes them a lot better. Without the EQ they are closer to the MDR-V6.

When I lived in Houston I was on the Livestock Show Safety Committee during my residency, and volunteered my time in the 1st aid rooms. I'd get to enjoy many of the shows for free when I was done but I may have loved the food a little more, especially those big fat sticks of peppered jerky! Any chance I could pay you double ship ship me a bunch of those fat jerky meat sticks?

My wife took this beautiful photo, but she did it with the iPhone messaging app so it's only 1024x768 instead of 5 mpx (EDIT - strange, iPhoto says it was taken with her Nikon Coolpix camera, so why such a low res?) -
Happy Belated Birthday

Good motivating thread! I was 200 lbs in 1999 but I was up to 265 lbs after 12 years of disability. 18 months ago I did the 3 week SP Cleanse diet, and then continued eating better with mild exercise. I got down to 225 lbs by Xmax, and 215 lbs by March 2012. It just got very hard to lose weight past that number, and I could only hit 213 if I was dehydrated. Diet did make a big difference for me with blood pressure, where I dropped from 160/90 to 130/80 after the first 4 weeks of mostly fruit/veggie diet with a little meat and even fewer carbs. Processed foods seemed to push my pressures up. A year later I'm at 219 lbs now, but I've been too sick for a couple of months to exercise. I'm hoping I'll be able start riding the stationary and regular bike in a couple of weeks. I'd like to be back down to 200 lbs if I can, maybe by the end of the year? I previously found that orange and spice hot tea, and cinnamon flavored gum would curb my appetite, but I never got over cravings for food. I'm always getting into battles over wanting to keep the high carb food out of the house, but we've caved into the kids preferences for prepared meals and it's hard to maintain our weight that way.

I switched to SuperDuper years ago when CCC was still having issues with stealing huge chunks of hard drive space if you aborted a clone, and haven't gone back. It's nice because you can create all kinds of bootable clones, some with all the files or some with only certain files that you want to put on a new machine. So you can clone a 750GB Mac onto a 500GB drive by de-selecting the iTunes Media Folder or some of the users that you don't need. I also like that I can do a really fast incremental clone of my 3TB iTunes external drive onto a 3TB backup to keep off-site. When I used CCC years ago I could not clone a non-bootup drive. -

Happy Birthday Nate!

Another option is I can provide an SRD-7 Pro or an SRD-7 Mk2 SB if you want.

Happy Belated Birthday! I'd miss less of these birthdays if I came every day, but then I'd miss life instead...
