  1. as i have stated many times, training and diet is a way of life for me. i'm and old fart and i'm not prepping for a contest or photo shoot. i've looked the same, more or less for the last 20 years and will continue to try and maintain my look for as long as possible although i am fully aware that time catches up with everyone.

    there are no strict rules in this game and you need to find what regimen works best for you and what program you'll be able to follow over the course of your life..if you aren't consistent, there's really no reason to bother starting.

    as far as wasting egg yolks, my cholesterol has never been above 138....if you pay for shipping, I'll be more than happy to send you my unused yolks

  2. thanks for that info mrchariybrown,, I will check that out...i am indeed very interested (can't rep)

    99% lean ground turkey breast

    canned tomatoes

    onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic

    ff mozzarella cheese

    1% whipped cottage cheese

    make a sauce with turkey,can tom, onions peppers, shrooms and garlic..let it simmer for a couple of hours....make some whole wheat penne or ziti stir the sauce in and incorporate the cheeses...bake

    not bad, NOT Bad at all.......loads of protein, very low fat and good carbs...been eating it for 25 years.

  3. and why not cook them first?

    simple really, I'm usually in a rush and i'm just too lazy. i've been doin' it for so long, i don't think about it....they go down easily and guickly..no biggie

    if i have time and feel like it, i'll make an omelet with ff feta cheese and peppers and onions but most of the time i just drink them

  4. Once a week I go to a local store that sells eggs cheaply. I buy 12 dozen jumbo eggs. I go home, let them sit for an hour or 2 and then I crack them and separate the whites. I throw the yellows away and pour the whites into a large container. Everyday, I pour out 10oz. of whites into a large glass and drink them............easy

  5. I maintain that you think you hear a difference but if you did a properly performed ABX test you would find that you don't

    I understand your point on listening to music in public and I don't do it all the time but when I do, I'm glad I can....def the gym for sure.

    I used to have a couple of full Sennheiser's. now I just have my Shure SE530's and i'm happy

  6. Anybody who claims that the Beatles are no longer relevant is desperate for attention.

    I believe the person in question is not with us at the moment

    @blm

    Most of my stuff is ~aps or better VBR. I'm not gonna get into the whole lossy/lossless argument but I've seen enuf ABX tests to feel that a well ripped VBR is virtually indistinguishable from lossless. it's good enough for me anyway. I have the pin drop set in both lossless (if I can find it) and VBR and they both sound fantastic and much, much better than either the orig vinyl or the currently released CDs

    As far as original vinyl goes, I agree with you but it's just not practical for me. I was always terrible at handling records and would scratch them almost immediately; not to mention that portability is crucial today.

  7. nah, Ben, my stuff is all digital..most of it lossy. I gave away all my vinyl years ago. I have about 1 1/2 terabytes of all genres. I gave up on wax. I love it but I just can't be bothered storing, maintaining and playing it

    pple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music are delighted to announce the release of the original Beatles catalogue, which has been digitally re-mastered for the first time, for worldwide CD release on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (9-9-09), the same date as the release of the widely anticipated "The Beatles: Rock Band" video game. Each of the CDs is packaged with replicated original UK album art, including expanded booklets containing original and newly written liner notes and rare photos. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. On the same date, two new Beatles boxed CD collections will also be released.

    The albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the catalogue has seen since its original release.

    The collection comprises all 12 Beatles albums in stereo, with track listings and artwork as originally released in the UK, and 'Magical Mystery Tour,' which became part of The Beatles' core catalogue when the CDs were first released in 1987. In addition, the collections 'Past Masters Vol. I and II' are now combined as one title, for a total of 14 titles over 16 discs. This will mark the first time that the first four Beatles albums will be available in stereo in their entirety on compact disc. These 14 albums, along with a DVD collection of the documentaries, will also be available for purchase together in a stereo boxed set.

    packaging

    Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. With the exception of the 'Past Masters' set, newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

    A second boxed set has been created with the collector in mind. 'The Beatles in Mono' gathers together, in one place, all of the Beatles recordings that were mixed for a mono release. It will contain 10 of the albums with their original mono mixes, plus two further discs of mono masters (covering similar ground to the stereo tracks on 'Past Masters'). As an added bonus, the mono "Help!" and "Rubber Soul" discs also include the original 1965 stereo mixes, which have not been previously released on CD. These albums will be packaged in mini-vinyl CD replicas of the original sleeves with all original inserts and label designs retained.

    Discussions regarding the digital distribution of the catalogue will continue. There is no further information available at this time.

    Dr Ebbetts pin drop is by far the best Beatles rip you can get (remastered in 2006).

    Dr. Ebbetts has heard the Beatles remasters: He's retiring!

    Dear friends,

    I sincerely hope all is well with you and yours.

    Indeed, this is an unexpected mass-mailer. Please forgive the

    unsolicited rambles that follow.

    To start, there are many of you who have outstanding orders with me at

    this time. Some of you have been waiting for a while, and I wish to

    apologize for that. Please don't worry. Each and every one of these

    outstanding orders will be tended to this week. You have my word.

    I appreciate your patience and understanding.

    Second, there has been considerable buzz surrounding the new Beatles

    remasters, due for release in September. There should be. We have all

    been waiting for this day, and it is about to arrive - finally! Thanks

    to a long-time supporter and friend to this project, I have had the

    opportunity to hear genuine samples of the new remasters due out in two

    months.

    They are good.

    Very good.

    Those of you who will be buying them - and those of you who have already

    preordered - will not be disappointed.

    In fact, I will venture to guess than many of you will be more than

    pleasantly surprised at how good they sound.

    And with what promises to be outstanding packaging all around, it will

    be a collector's nirvana.

    From the outset of the Dr. Ebbetts Sound Systems project, I swore that

    once EMI did the right thing and released remasters to be proud of, I

    would not continue doing what I was doing. After all, the only reason I

    did this was because Apple/EMI/Capitol would not - and because I so very

    much love the Beatles.

    While my love for the band has not changed, everything else has.

    EMI/Capitol began their release of the American LPs on compact disc a

    few years ago, and now EMI has tackled the British catalogue in fullest

    detail.

    It's what we all wanted. As Beatles fans, it's what we've prayed for.

    To that end - and with the heaviest of hearts - effective immediately,

    Dr. Ebbetts Sound Systems will cease operations.

    Many of you will recall that the entire purpose of the Dr. Ebbetts

    project was to make available to the public the best sounding versions

    of the Beatles' original LP releases - with emphasis on the American and

    British catalogues. Believe me, it wasn't a hard thing to do considering

    the substandard quality of the original CD catalogue from 1987 onward.

    The fact of the matter is, the Dr. Ebbetts material does not - and will

    not - sound better than what is coming commercially in September. People

    I trust agree with me. The remasters sound remarkably well balanced,

    with solid, punchy bass, smooth mids and not-to-harsh, yet crisp highs.

    In comparison, many of the Ebbetts masters fall short - weaker bass,

    dimished mids, and often too-bright highs.

    It's a given that the remasters will not please everyone, but they will

    be good enough to make the Ebbetts catalogue solidly inferior.

    The artwork and packaging of the EMI material will prove to make current

    Dr. Ebbetts releases look like Xerox machine fodder.

    It pains me, seeing as I have invested so much time in this thing, but I

    humbly and officially put this nearly-fourteen year project to bed.

    I have outlived my usefulness in this hobby.

    I know there are many who will ask why I just don't continue releasing

    titles that are NOT being put out by Apple/EMI - foreign releases, rare

    pressings, etc..

    My reasons are complicated, but they are what they are. In short, if the

    Dr. Ebbetts BLUE BOX set is not the definitive sounding version of the

    original UK stereo LPs, then why issue them at all?

    Many will remember the original BEAT CDs of the 1990s that presented the

    Beatles US LPs sourced from cassettes. I surely do. They became

    immediately obsolete with the advent of Dr. Ebbetts. No one bought those

    BEAT CDs anymore when I came along. Why would they? At the time, my

    material was far superior.

    The Ebbetts BLUE BOX series was only issued because Apple/EMI's versions

    were substantially inferior to anything I - or any number of

    needledroppers - were putting out. The Ebbetts BLUE BOX set is at THE

    HEART of the Dr. Ebbetts Sound Systems collection, in my estimation. If

    that set is now inferior to the commercial release, then it has no

    business existing. Suffice to say, I would not release the BLUE BOX set

    today if new remasters were already commercially available.

    I would have no need.

    And if my CORE SET is inferior, I don't wish to have the rest of the

    catalogue branded as such either.

    Therefore, it is time to put it all on the shelf.

    I am requesting that all of you who have LPs with me contact me as soon

    as possible and let me know which ones are yours so that I might send

    them back to you. I promise I will get those to you in short order.

    So that your return LP requests will not be lost in what promises to be

    a hectic e-mail shuffle, please put "MY LPs" somewhere in the subject

    line.

    Your generosity, kindness and willingness to share your treasured

    possessions with me is something I shall never forget.

    To each and every one of you who has supported me and befriended me

    throughout the years, I wish to extend my deepest gratitude. Your

    loyalty has moved me beyond words. This entire project began as a

    fanciful hobby many years ago and has mushroomed into something far

    beyond anything I could have imagined.

    From every corner of the entire world, I have been blessed to meet some

    of the best Beatle people out there. I will never forget you.

    But now it is time to make way for the "big boys."

    Please be sure to secure your copies of the remasters. I guarantee they

    will replace your Dr. Ebbetts CDs in your rotations and playlists - as

    they should. Display them proudly and let people know who the greatest

    band of all time is.

    Remember, quoting my project motto from all those years ago, it is ONLY

    about the music.

    That is why I do what I do today.

    Now go put your hard-earned money to good use!

    God Bless.

  9. I have every Beatles album, even the mono releases and prob have every bootleg. I have the Dr. Ebbetts box set of bootleg remasters and they sound fucking GREAT, (Google Dr. Ebbetts and you'll see what i'm talking about) and Dr. Ebbetts himself has heard the new remasters and says they sound incredible...so I can't wait for the release...will buy them if the box is cheap enuf or DL the lossless files when available

  10. I'm just curious if any of you guys are excited about the soon to be released Beatles Remasters? I know from previous discussion that some people on here feel the Beatles are no longer relevant so I was wondering if there are people who are eagerly anticipating the remasters.

    I have the Dr. Ebbetts pindrops but even the good Dr, himself says these new releases are 'sposed to be amazing.

  11. Arggghghhghghghg God Damnit You Fucking Suck At Dressing!?!?! Fuck That Suit Sucks. Aghrhrhghghg Fuck.

    coming from a dude who wears diamond pinky rings, I'll take that as a compliment

    so thank you
