Heh. Well, give me a minute with this other program first.

t edit Nope -- still getting only 2:18 from the file.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Teppy, Nic says that, converting it to a WAV, he gets a file size of 126,611K

Nope -- my WAV was missing about 100,000 K. Something got all snarled up in the download-y process from yousendit.

Can he send me the WAV via yousendit? That way I can burn the full set (the full Deb-selected set, that it) to CD for you.

Teppy, Nic says in about 15 minutes. He's in full morning meds mode.

He also asked me to ask you what bit rate you're converting the MP3's at?

192 kbps (highest quality that iTunes will do); however, when I burn the CD for you, I'm going to burn it from the WAV files, not the mp3s.

Right, got that - and Nic's about to send you the WAV file. You should also have got "Money Honey" - did that convert all right? Is it just Tore Up that isn't doing it?

edit: sent. Let me know how this works, ma'am.

Also, just sent the updated chapter 7 edits to everyone; Teppy, you've already seen them.

Money Honey is playing as we speak -- 15 minutes or so, yes?

Tore Up Over You seems to just dislike me for some reason. I'll likely have much better luck with the WAV file.

Heh. WAV's on its way. BIG ass file.

15 minutes or so for Money Honey is right.

Nice Piano (TM).

What is even happening?

Deb, here's a [link] with the clondine Teppy mentioned, which is given in conjunction with Librium:

The traditional clonidine detox can be helped greatly with the use of naltrexone. In this procedure, the patient is given higher clonidine and LibriumĀ® doses as increasing doses of naltrexone are given during the five-day process. Addicts find that after a five day detox, the body feels as well as it normally would after three weeks with a straight clonidine detox.. The down side is that many people find this detox very painful. The drug dosing must be exacting by the medical staff. Generall he benefits out-weight the extra care needed, however.

I don't know what the naltrexone is (maybe another opiod like Methadone???) that's mentioned there, but Librium is a pretty accessible (if prescription) tranquilizer.

It actually blocks the effects of opioids, and it doesn't produce any euphoric effects.
