BOTHELL, Wash -- For the Owen family of Bothell it has been a life changing week. Tim Owen and h is wife Cheryl Reed were killed after a tree fell on their SUV. The couple's adult children were injured.
Friday night a group gathered to support the family during a vigil outside Bothell High School.
Michael Feldman, the couple's brother-in-law, is the family spokesperson.
It is a tremendous event to have so many people affected in a negative way at one time. said Feldman.
The accident happened on Friday, December 21st around 1:20 p.m. The Owen family was traveling on Highway 2 near Stevens Pass when the tree accident claimed the lives of 58-year-old Tim Owen and 56-year-old Cheryl Reed. Also in the vehicle were the couple's son, Jeremy, daughters Jessie and Jamie, and son-in-law Steven Mayer. Jeremy was released from the hospital but the other three are still being treated for serious injuries.
All have a lot of work ahead of them, said Feldman.
Jeremy Owen closed the vigil Friday night with a special message for his parents.
He said, I am going to be a strong man. I am going to take care of my sisters. Dad and Mom, I am going to make it, I love you so much.
The Owen Family Relief Fund has been set up to help pay for medical bills and other expenses, learn more about it here:http://lovetheowens.wordpress.com/

Investors eyeing a purchase of Citizens, Inc. (CIA) stock, but cautious about paying the going market price of $7.57/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the February 2014 put at the $7.50 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of 85 cents. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 11.3% return against the $7.50 commitment, or a 22.6% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Top YieldBoost Puts of the S&P 500 »
Selling a put does not give an investor access to CIA's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $7.50 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. ( Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Citizens, Inc. sees its shares decline 0.9% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $6.65 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the 85 cents from $7.50), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 22.6% annualized rate of return.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Citizens, Inc. , and highlighting in green where the $7.50 strike is located relative to that history:

When feeling threatened Aplysia dactylomela will elicit a quick downward movement of its parapodia over its back. It may also release foul fluids from both the opaline gland and the purple dye cavity.
The idea that Aplysia dactylomela releases ink and opaline in defensive situations is widely held. Much of this ascription is based on electroneurophysiological studies. However, further studies were unable to confirm that inking was due to interaction with a predator. (Barnes, 1963; Tobach, Zaferes, and Migenis-Lopez, 1989; Wilbur and Yonge, 1966)

Risk Factors
- Having a baby that is in the breech position
- Premature rupturing of the membranes
- Having multiple births in one pregnancy
- Having an unusually long umbilical cord
- Having too much amniotic fluid around the fetus
- Artificial rupture of membranes
- Delivery by C-section—If the baby cannot be quickly delivered vaginally.
- Removing pressure from the cord—In some cases, the doctor may be able to move the baby away from the cord so as not to cut off oxygen supply to the baby. The mother may also be asked to move into a position that removes pressure from the cord and protects the baby.
- Rapid delivery—If the mother is ready to deliver, the doctor may try to deliver the baby very quickly using forceps or a vacuum extractor.

Redford's return to Watergate reminder of watershed events
Washington Post / Marlon Correa
Portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz takes a group shot of former Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee (seated) and, behind him, Watergate reporters Bob Woodward (foreground) and Carl Bernstein. Producer/narrator Robert Redford's "All the President�'s Men Revisited" is a fresh and stirring reminiscence of the Watergate scandal.
Yet here I sit, thoroughly absorbed by executive producer and narrator Robert Redford's "All the President's Men Revisited," a fresh and even stirring reminiscence airing on Sunday on Discovery.
Redford and his crew, including director Peter Schnall, stylishly manage what countless others struggle to do: cut through the recollections of the major players like Woodward, Bernstein, their boss Ben Bradlee, Nixon White House counsel John Dean, and utilize their well-trod anecdotes in a way that seems new.
Because let's face it: Watergate is fading before our eyes. Richard Nixon himself is nearly 20 years gone.
And while The Post legends and ex-White House staffers come across as a relatively hale bunch in this film, it is in fact the younger interview subjects who do the most to revivify the entire saga as both a political and cultural watershed.
It's smart of Redford and company to acknowledge this. But their "All the President's Men Revisited" is no Watergate for Dummies, either; it is as concerned with the historical ramifications as it is with the imprint on popular lore and culture.
Those who lived through it will find what they're looking for, whether it's a renewed sense of apoplexy or even just bemusement. Those who came along after won't feel that familiar shame of being treated like a kid.
Through his narration, Redford, who portrayed Woodward in Alan J. Pakula's still popular 1976 movie, makes clear that he's working out a couple of things here: What is Watergate's resonance?
What do we -- as a culture -- remember most? What's different about the world now when compared to the world of 1972?
"I was amazed by Woodward and Bernstein's resolve," Redford tells the viewer.
"There's nothing glamorous about what they were doing, but I thought it was important to portray the tedium, the hard work."
Now Redford and his crew return with Woodward, Bernstein and Bradlee to the newsroom on the fifth floor of that brown, Brutalist property on 15th Street that is currently for sale.
Rather than revel in newspaperdom's former glories, "All the President's Men Revisited" asks a good question: If a president's re-election committee authorized the break-in of the other party's campaign offices, how would the story unfold now?
How would it be reported? How would it play?
Marcus Brauchli, The Washington Post's executive editor at the time of the film crew's visit, gives an eloquent answer that takes into account the new media landscape and why things can never be like they were.
As he describes how Twitter users and partisan watchdogs would pounce on the news of the Watergate break-in, the screen itself splinters into an effective chaos of sources, voices and information, which would simultaneously advance, spin and debunk the break-in and its impact.
"The tedium, the hard work" that Redford admired back in the '70s are what remain. As then, the skill is in the sifting, the verifying.
"All the President's Men Revisited" spends just enough time on this sort of thing without becoming one more ambivalent documentary about the future of news. Instead, it turns to the epic tragedy that was Nixon himself.
By the time the "smoking gun" tape brings the president down, the film struggles to maintain the artful distance it had established for two hours; those who are old enough to remember their anger and outrage quickly rediscover it.
The tape unspools and the paranoia takes hold.
"It's hard to get past the tapes," political consultant Mary Matalin observes. "Just the insanity."
"The real Nixon is on those tapes," Bernstein says. "It is a road map of his mind, it is a road map of his presidency."
Watch it
"All the President's Men Revisited" airs from 8 to 10 p.m. Sunday on Discovery.

Download the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool from the Microsoft Store
This gallery is also available as a post in the TechRepublic Windows and Office Blog.
In last week's post, Get the free 90-day evaluation of Windows 8 Enterprise, I showed you how to download the free 90-day evaluation copy of the final version of Windows 8 Enterprise and burn the ISO file to a bootable DVD using Windows 7's Windows Disc Image Burner tool. While installing from a DVD is suitable in most situations, you may want to be able to install Windows 8 from a USB flash drive. Fortunately, doing so is not as difficult as it once was. In fact, Microsoft has a utility called the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool that will allow you to convert the ISO image so that it can boot from a USB flash drive. (Keep in mind that while the tool has Windows 7 in its name, it will still work for Windows 8.)
In this article, I'll show you how to download, install and use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to transfer the Windows 8 Enterprise evaluation ISO to a bootable USB flash drive. Keep in mind that while I'll use the Windows 8 Enterprise evaluation ISO as my example, this procedure will work with any Windows 7 or Windows 8 ISO.
What you need
To install the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, you need at least a Pentium 233 MHz processor and 50MB of free hard disk space. You can install the tool in Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit). Your USB flash drive must be at least 4GB and it should not have any other files on it. In fact, I recommend that you perform a full format of your USB flash drive; just to be sure that it is error free.
If you are running Windows XP, you will need to download and install both Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and Microsoft Image Mastering API v2 before you install the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Keep in mind that the most current version of the .NET Framework is 4.5, but if you only want to download 2.0, previous versions are available on the .NET site linked above.
Downloading the tool
Downloading the tool is easy. To begin, head over to the Microsoft Store's Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool page and scroll down until you see the download link. When you click it you'll be prompted to either Run or Save the tool. For my example, I chose to save the file so that I could experiment with the tool on various machines.

WIndows tools are never bullet proof so what I did it's make my usb bootable using command prompt , follow this: Coming back to bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB. 1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable. 2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator. 3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command: DISKPART and hit enter. LIST DISK and hit enter. Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1. 4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do. SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number) CLEAN CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SELECT PARTITION 1 ACTIVE FORMAT FS=NTFS (Format process may take few seconds) ASSIGN EXIT
I thought this was allow me to run Windows 8 on a PC or laptop via a flashdrive. But this is just to install Win8 itself.
Greg - a lot of the new Windows 8 images that Microsoft is allowing partners to download (and assuming SA customers) are now in .IMG format instead of ISO's. This tool doesn't work for those. Have you discovered how to do this with IMG files yet?
... IMG to ISO that you can find at http://www.imgtoiso.com/ You can use it to convert your IMG file to an ISO file which you can then use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to create a bootable USB.
http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CCD, CDI, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.
I tried this program about 2 weeks ago - it doesn't work. Something with the IMG file that Microsoft creates. I get an error, "Error, cannot create vdisk.". No error logs or any other information is available. Dunno why this IMG file is any different - but it is. My question really is WHY did Microsoft have to change formats and what about this change is not allowing it to be converted (short of burning it to a DVD, then re-ripping it as an ISO).
Rromanowski - it's not a question of burning to a CD/DVD - it's a question of putting an IMG file onto a USB drive. ImageBurn doesn't help with that... but thanks.

Scouting Report-Jackson is an interesting case. He's got nice size for an NFL corner, with long arms and is not frail like some guys are. The strength of Jackon's game is his coverage technique. He's really polished and you can tell he's put in a lot of work on that part of his game. Keeps his hips low, stays in his backpedal, uses his eyes to read the QB, does a nice job anticipating routes and breaks on the ball quickly. He's not really fast but is quick, which helps a lot in coverage. He does a nice job playing press man, getting up and jamming the WR, and looks comfortable in zone or man coverages. One thing I like about Jackson's game is he doesn't waste a lot of energy. Movements aren't exaggerated, and he can make quick adjustments because of it. One real shortcoming to his game I see is he's not much of a tackler and doesn't play run support very well, prefering not to engage offensive players, and really struggles to shed blockers
Draft Status-In a really deep CB class, Jackson may fall into the late 2nd round, simply because of how many good players playing the position, not because he's not a good player. I think if he could have shown some elite speed, he'd be in the same conversation as guys like Joe Haden and Kyle Wilson. But for whatever reason he isn't, but don't be shocked if he ends up the third CB off the board, and sneaks into the end of the first round.
Final Analysis-When you have a guy like Jackson who lined up with another very good draft prospect lin Javier Arenas, analysis is tough. You have to look at who got the teams best WR and who didn't, which guy lined up against and when you have a great defense around you, that comes into play as well. I think Jackson is a really good player, who puts out really strong effort and is rock solid in coverage from a technical standpoint. I guess the safetst way for me to say it is I think Jackson has all the tools to be a great NFL CB, but I think in the final analysis, he'll just end up a good one. He's got to get into the weight room and work harder in run support because in the NFL that is a must. Jackson is almost a vicitm of the fact he's not flashy enough, and doesn't draw enough press when it comes to his draft status but I expect a team to get a man crush on Jackson and take him early.
Reminds me of: Brandon Flowers, CB Kansas City Chiefs-Flowers is a really nice player, who does a nice job in man and zone coverage, doesn't do a great job in run support and is probbly not as talented as his play indicates at times.

Meredith Willson, composer and playwright of "The Music Man", was a native of this small city. His fictional town of River City was based on the people and places of his childhood. Set in 1912, the musical follows salesman Harold Hill's arrival in the stubborn and suspicious town to con the locals and charm the local librarian, Marion.

Ritchey is well known within the cycling industry for creating luxury components that are both fully functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. The mountain fork provides comfort, precision steering, and reliable performance in any terrain. To achieve this durability, Ritchey started with one- piece monocoque construction with full carbon drop outs. The WCS carbon mountain fork has been suspension corrected based on a 100mm suspension fork. Rigid forks require much less maintanence than suspension forks. Get on the trail faster, for longer.

Specian's Big Night against Limestone Lands Him Player of the Week Honors for Men's Volleyball
March 19, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. Pfeiffer University's David Specian has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Mens Volleyball Player of the Week during week nine of the 20122013 Volleyball season. After a nearly two-week layoff, Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) put together one of his best nights of the season with 56 assists in a 3-1 league win over Limestone to clinch a bye in the first round of the upcoming Conference Carolinas tournament.
Specian averaged a whopping 14 assists/set having a hand in over half of the points scored for the Falcons in Wednesday's victory. Specian would also add a kill, eight digs and three block assists to avenge a season-opening league loss at Limestone earlier in the year.
Specian and the Falcons will now prepare for a three-match week traveling to Lees-McRae on Tuesday before hosting Coker and NJIT on Friday night.

Be the "Western Culture Authority"
and the teacher
By Susan Miles
A month ago I was hard at work in the IT department of a major Australian bank, attending to the countless emails, reports, meetings and teleconferences that my job as a Business Liaison Manager demanded.
I was a typical middle management type, in my navy blue suit, sensible court shoes, workpad in one hand, styrofoam cup of "Skinny Decaf Cappuccino" in the other.
Today I am wearing the same blue suit, but I've swapped the workpad for a stick of chalk, the cappuccino for a glass of iced tea and the court shoes have been replaced with a pair of running shoes.
The JET program was the brainchild of the current Japanese Prime Minister and introduced by the Japanese government in 1987. It was felt that there were too few opportunities for Japanese nationals, particularly children, to engage with and learn about other country's and cultures. To remedy this situation, a program to bring overseas college graduates into Japanese schools to teach English (and other languages), share their own culture and in turn learn more about Japanese culture from the students and teachers.
My official title as a "JET" participant is "ALT" or "Assistant Language Teacher". I am employed by a local prefecture (equivalent of a county) and assigned to various Junior High Schools in my area to assist the Japanese English Teachers with their classes.
This "assistance" is many and varied. I may run a "greeting game" at the beginning of the class, demonstrate English pronunciation of various words and phrases, conduct conversational exercises with the students or assist/check their written work. As an "assistant" I am not solely responsible for a class, but can find myself preparing and then implementing a teaching plan with the help of my Japanese English teachers.
"Flag Waver" to speak English
I am also the resident "Australian and Western culture" expert for my school. I give presentations on Australian history and general knowledge, my own life in Australia and that of my family's. As I have traveled quite extensively I also find myself comparing and contrasting various cultures with Japan for the benefit of both the students and the teachers. The idea that there is diversity and differences between western countries is often a revelation to my pupils and the teachers alike.
My school's social studies teacher now has a firm grasp of the nuisances of Australian politics, its similarities and differences to the American and British democratic processes. I have also enlightened him to the fragile and sports-focused relationship we share with our closest neighbors, New Zealand.
I am also the recipient of countless questions and inquiries. As my students range in age from 12-14, I have been stunned by the sophistication of their questions. From my opinion on Iraq, to my forecast for the American economy and my thoughts on the recent meetings between the Japanese and South Korean leaders.
I have also been enlightened to nuisances of my culture and language that I was unaware until I became an English teacher. When trying to teach students the art of giving an audible greeting, I discovered that no matter how loud they say "Good morning" the sound is lost when they couple it with a traditional Japanese bow.
I have learned that my own language is not just words, but hand gestures and facial expressions that are not used in Japanese conversations. To see shy downcast-eyed teenagers come to life with newly taught handshakes, gestures and eye contact as they practice their conversational English has been one of my most joyous experiences to date.
Amongst all these strangeness and newness, I have also felt surprisingly at home. I have witnessed situations and comments that are as common place in an Australian IT department as a staff room in a Japanese Junior High School. My young male colleagues wear their nicest clothes to work on a Friday in preparation for a big night on the town, a summons to an extra meeting is adhered to with a grumbling resentment and a hug transcends all language barriers when you fall and cut your hand.
Even new habits and practices have been quickly absorbed into my own behavior. I am thinking of starting the ritual of standing and bowing at the beginning of each team meeting when I return to my IT job, a ritual that occurs at the beginning of every class and staff meeting in my school. I know I will miss the politeness of waiting for all to be served their lunch before starting to eat.
The last time I was in a high school was 16 years ago. My nighttime dreams since this time have often cast me back to the classroom to revisit this stage of my life. Courtesy of the JET program my dreams have become my reality, and its not half bad!

Spaghetti SquashSeed
Product ID: 679
Yellow, spaghetti-like flesh.
Skin is ivory changing to pale yellow at maturity. Bake like squash or boil and fork out the flesh, topping the "spaghetti" with your favorite sauce. 3-5 lb. oblong fruit. Avg. yield: 4-5 fruits/plant. Avg. 2,700 seeds/lb. Packet: 30 seeds.
Quick Facts
Latin Name: Cucurbita pepo
Days to Maturity or Bloom: 88
Plant Cycle: (A)
Shipping Information & Notes
Growing Information
Squash, Winter
CULTURE: Fertile, well-drained soil is best.
FROM TRANSPLANTS: Sow 2-3 seeds in 2" containers or plug trays 3 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Thin to 1-2 plants/cell with scissors. Transplant after frost danger when weather is warm and settled, about 18" apart for bush and small-fruited varieties, and 24-36" apart for large-fruited varieties. Take care not to disturb roots! Plastic mulch and fabric row covers will help plant establishment and exclude insect pests.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow in late spring after frost danger when soil is warm, minimum 62°F (17°C) for treated seeds and 70°F (21°C) for untreated seeds - seeds will rot in cool soil, especially cool, wet soil. Sow 1-2 seeds every 12" (24-36" for large-fruited varieties) 1/2-1" deep. Thin to 1 plant per spot. Rows 6' apart, 12' apart for larger fruit.
DISEASES: Cucumber beetles can carry bacterial wilt and must be controlled. Gummy stem blight (black rot) causes black, sunken spots to appear on fruits in storage and the tan scabby patches on Butternuts in the field. Downy mildew may occur in damp weather, powdery mildew in cooler, dry periods and in late summer. Consult your local Extension agent for specific fungicide control. Choose well-drained soil to avoid phytopthora.
SPRING COLD PROTECTION: AG-19 (heavier grade) floating row covers will provide about 4° of frost protection and add warmth for vigor and an earlier harvest.
INSECT PESTS: Protect young plants with floating row covers (see Index). Cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers can be a challenge. Pyrethrin offers some control. Squash bug eggs laid on the underside of leaves may be located and crushed. Keep borders well mowed. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Clean up refuse in the fall, and spring-plow the ground to bury the pupae. The Butternut type has solid vines usually not bothered by borers.
FALL FROST: Frost kills leaves and can thus facilitate harvest; however, it can also damage fruits and cause spotting and poor storage. Mature fruits can usually tolerate 1 and sometimes 2 or 3 light frosts without substantial damage. Sprinkler irrigation wards off moderate frost damage to fruits.
HARVEST: Before heavy frost, cut stems about 1" from the fruit when stem is drying and skin is hardening. Handle fruits like eggs!
CURING: Cure in the field to dry and toughen skins by exposing fruits to sun for 5-7 days or so, covering in the evening if frost is likely. An indoor method of curing is to expose squash to 80-90°F (27-32°C) with ventilation for 3-5 days.
STORAGE: Store at 50-60°F (10-15°C), 50-75% relative humidity, and good air circulation. An accumulation of sub 50°F (10°C) exposure events causes chilling injury, reducing storage life.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding; subtract about 14 days if transplanting.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATES: (at 2 seeds/ft., rows 6' apart)-Group 1: Hubbard, Kuri 50'/oz., 850'/lb., 8 1/2lb./acre. Group 2: Buttercup, Kabocha, Spaghetti, 75'/oz., 1,250'/lb., 5 3/4lb./acre. Group 3: Butternut, Acorn, 155'/oz., 2,500'/lb., 3lb./acre. Group 4: Delicata, Sweet Dumpling 225'/oz., 3,750'/lb., 2 lb./acre.
SEED SPECS: See individual varieties.
PACKET: 30 seeds.

Results vs. Boo Bash Inv. (2007-10-20 09:00:00)
October 20, 2007
|Falcons Finish Fourth at Boo Bash
|Saturday, 20 October 2007
|Salisbury, NC---Pfeiffer University Men and Women's Swimming combined earned third place overall at the Boo Bash relay meet. The ladies team earned an overall 4th place behind Mars Hill.
Coach Hawkins commented, "This meet was a learning experience for many of the swimmers on the Falcon teams. Our relays were strong, but so was the conference competition. There were many encouraging swims, and the women's team of Emily Belton, Meg Toncheff, Brittany Byrum and Hannah Fitzgibbons swam a storming 4 x 100 free relay to take second in 3:51.94 just 3 tenths off the long established Pfeiffer school record. The men's 4 x 100 medley relay of David Angell, Kevin Parks, Andrew Siegfried and Edwin Torres combined to set a new Pfeiffer men's standard of 3:46.88. The Boo Bash is a fun meet to go to and it was great to get an advance look at the competition before we see many of these teams at our upcoming dual meets. Coming off fall break and the Lenoir Rhyne meet which finished late the night before, I am quite pleased with our overall performances. Next week we drive to Virginia to race Division 1 Virginia Military Institute at their pool along with the women of Randolph Macon."

Wyatt made a good point about the car show. They should make sure it's not the same weekend. We couldn't play a couple of the holes one year (#1 and I think maybe #14 had cars parked on them. There were, as usual, temp holes so it was still about a 20l-hole course, but it was a bit of a pain.)

No I was hoping they'd be at the same time for the maximum amount of confusion and chaos. Since I won't be there its way easier to laugh about it.
All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.

Brennen Doyle called me and wanted me to make a post for him on the subject. He says he's never had any luck logging on the site and thinks he may be banned. He wanted to voice his displeasure (putting it mildly) that we would change this qualifier this year, but would not change it last year when it also fell on the same date as the regional USDGC qualifier in Milwaukee, when he was wanting to play both events. His two cents worth.
Bub, I understand his position. I didn't notice it last year until after the fact that the SOKY and Milwaukee Open (our regional qualifier for those who did not know) were on the same weekend nor did I know where this decision came from on scheduling. But seeing as our state coordinator doesn't frequent the forum here to stay in the loop it may be somewhat fruitless to voice too much complaining.

Well, I do have an oscilloscope, so if you want to tell us more about it...Fair enough! You need to disable the side chain so the FET can be manually controlled.
How should it be biased?
Easiest way is to short the 100k feedback resistor on U1b.
Set postgain to zero resistance.
Set ratio to zero resistance.
Input a suitable test tone; level is not important provided it doesn't clip. Say, 100mVpk, 1kHz, ish.
Monitor the input and output waves and adjust the bias until the output amplitude is equal to the input.
That's it! For anyone without a scope they'd have to switch back and forth between the effect and bypass, and adjust the bias by ear for equal loudness.
I will try and make a sound clip this weekend.
Using a boutique mindset...
Could you just make it a pot and call it a feature? ("volume"?)

Thierry Dusautoir says France lacked the extra skill and luck needed to beat the All Blacks in Sunday's World Cup final.
Addressing the media after the game, Dusautoir and coach Marc Lievremont said that they were proud of the team's efforts in spite of the 8-7 result. France weren't given much of a chance in the build up to this clash, but came within a couple of points of one of the great upsets in World Cup history.
'We are very disappointed with the result, we didn't do enough,' the France captain said. 'We've been lucky in previous rounds of this tournament, but we weren't lucky tonight.
'We did everything we set out to do except get the points and win the game. I was very happy when I scored that try [in the second half], because I knew it was close to the poles and it would mean the scoreline would be closer. But that was the last time I was happy, as while we continued to put pressure on the All Blacks, we just couldn't convert that into points.
'It was very difficult against this All Blacks team, and we needed just a little bit more tonight. Rugby is also about the mental [aspect], but perhaps we needed more skill on this occasion.'
The All Blacks defended brilliantly in the second half, effecting some telling turnovers deep inside their own territory. Both Dusautoir and Lievremont said they would not criticise referee Craig Joubert for blowing against the French in those situations.
'I will not criticise him, he is one of the best in the world,' said the captain. 'Rugby is always difficult to ref, especially in that area. There were a lot of penalties against us, and maybe we weren't close enough [to our ball carrier] in support.'
Lievremont, who will stand down as coach now that the World Cup has come to an end, also refused to make a negative statement about Joubert's officiating at the breakdown.
'I met with him two days ago and I said that he would have a great pressure on his shoulders. I promised him that what ever happened [in this final] that I would not criticise his performance.'
The fiery French attitude was apparent even before the kickoff, as the team joined hands and moved towards the All Blacks while the hosts performed the haka. Dusautoir said it was something the team had decided to do on the morning of the final.
'It was a great moment and probably would have been remembered even more if the performance had been capped with a victory. We didn't win and get the trophy but it was still fantastic, it was still a good story.
'We had spoken about doing something [to counter the haka] during the week. We thought it would be a good idea, and made the call this morning [to go through with it].'

Corvo believes in the magic
BOSTON – Joe Corvo got by with a little help – and a
little lumber – from his friends Thursday night.
Using a stick borrowed from fellow defenseman Johnny Boychuk's stash, Corvo had his best game as a Bruin, dishing three assists and notching a plus-1 rating in an efficient 19:50 of ice time in Boston's 6-3 win over Edmonton.
"I've been kind of feeling it probably the last three games, like something was going to happen," Corvo said. "I think I've been a little more calm out there, making things happen. I was just waiting for that big night to happen, and it was tonight."
Corvo had four points, all on assists, entering Thursday's game, and had amassed an even plus-minus rating in 13 games. Tuesday against the Islanders, he had an assist, five shots and a plus-2, and it was apparently a sign of things to come. He's now plus-5 in the Bruins' four-game win streak, including a plus-4 night in the shellacking of Toronto on Nov. 5.
"Obviously he's using one of my sticks, there's lots of magic in there," Boychuk said with a smirk as Corvo stood within earshot nearby in the Bruins' dressing room. "I think last game, so he's got four points in two games with my stick. He's using all my magic."
Corvo first put Boychuk's magic stick to work 3:50 into the second period, and in the waning seconds of a power play. A good Bruins possession brought the puck to Corvo, who laced a shot into traffic, and Brad Marchand tipped it past Devan Dubnyk to give the Bruins a 3-2 lead.
"I saw that (Marchand) was kind of in the mid to high slot," Corvo said. "A lot of times when you feather one in from there and you keep it high it either blows over the goalie's shoulders or your forward gets a tip on it. It just turned out that he has good hands and tipped it in."
Less than three minutes later, Corvo picked up another helper, and while there's an argument that Tyler Seguin's game-winner should be an unassisted marker since it actually went in the net off of Corey Potter's skate, as of Thursday night it was assist number two for Corvo.
The third assist was a no-doubter, though, and one of the finest plays in a night full of them for the Black and Gold. Minutes after the Oilers wore the Bruins' penalty killers down long enough for Ryan Smyth to cut Boston's lead to 4-3, Corvo shadowed Nathan Horton on a rush to the net, grabbed a flubbed pass off his stick, and fired it back across the slot to Milan Lucic for a tap-in.
Corvo's positioning on the play made him for all intents and purposes a fourth forward, and that's where he can do the most for his new team.
"That's his game, and he's come in here and done a great job," Marchand said. "He's great on the PP, getting the puck up to the forwards and making that first pass. It's great when he's rushing up the ice and giving us another option."
It wasn't an immediate fit for Corvo, who after picking up three assists in the first six games went six more games without any points. His ice time was also lessened during most of those games, including a season-low 16:49 against his old team, Carolina, on Oct. 18.
Over the last three contests, however, he's averaged a healthy 19:25 on ice and ventured more and more into the offensive zone – a sign, Bruins coach Claude Julien said, that he's becoming comfortable with the team's system and his role within it.
"He's understanding our system better – not that he didn't at the beginning, but you've got to kind of go into a game, and you can't be thinking about everything you're doing out there," Julien said. "It's got to be done instinctively, and that's what he's starting to do now. He's just reacting to a situation instead of over-thinking it."
Or maybe it's just the borrowed stick, which Corvo said has a stiffer flex than his own models. But the guy who gave it to him said Corvo's just developing a knack for knowing when to put himself in position to make offensive plays.
"There's a time and place to pinch as well, and lately he's had the opportunity to pinch down and create more offense," Boychuk said.
"Sometimes during the game you're not going to be able to do that, but lately it's been happening, and he's been reading the pinches well, getting his shots through and seeing guys who are open. We're really glad he's been playing really well lately."

Controversial Call Favors Belmont Abbey as Women's Soccer Falls 1-0 in League Opener
September 10, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A controversial goal scored in the 81st minute of play by Belmont Abbeys Nicole Voets (Chatsworth, CA) led the Crusaders to a 1-0 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action on Saturday afternoon. Pfeiffer was whistled for the questionable foul just outside the top of the 18-yard box as Voets converted the free kick for the matchs only tally. Belmont Abbey improves to 1-2 overall, 1-0 in league play while the Lady Falcons remain winless at 0-3, 0-1.
A back-and-forth contest continued throughout the second half as both teams went under 10 minutes to play with clean sheets before a possible overtime situation. Both teams struggled to get off quality scoring chances all afternoon as both defenses stood tall before Voets converted on her free opportunity with 9:57 left in the contest.
In the first 45 minutes, a majority of the action took place in the midfield area as Belmont Abbey held a 5-4 advantage in shots while both teams each put two on net. Neither team had a solid scoring chance in the first half as the Crusaders took all five penalty kicks, three in a 60 second span.
Overall, the Crusaders held an 8-5 overall shots margin, 4-3 on goal. Belmont Abbey took four more corners in the second for a total of nine while the Lady Falcons didnt get a single attempt. Jamie Alcala (Fredericksburg, VA) made three saves for Pfeiffer as did Hannah Kohls (Cincinnati, OH) in net for Belmont Abbey.
The Lady Falcons are back in action on Monday hosting Lenoir-Rhyne at 4:00 p.m. Mondays game makes up the rained out contest from last Tuesday due to the remains of Tropical Storm Lee. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

The 1997 epic starring Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as star-crossed lovers was re-released worldwide in time for the 100th anniversary of the historic sinking of the luxury liner during its maiden voyage.
A memorable scene in which DiCaprio's poor artist Jack sketches Winslet's society girl Rose naked has been edited in China so Winslet is only seen from the neck up.
"Considering the vivid 3D effects, we fear that viewers may reach out their hands for a touch and thus interrupt other people's viewing," the administration said in a statement. "We've decided to cut off the nudity scenes."
E! News said one Chinese man complained about the alteration in an online film forum.
"I've been waiting almost 15 years, and not for the 3D icebergs," he wrote.

M 4.5 Earthquake for 46km W of Katastarion, Greece
Related News
Greece Earthquake 2015 Today Strikes East of AthensLALATE ·
ST LOUIS (LALATE) - A Greece earthquake 2015 today has struck east of Athens. The Greece earthquake today May 28, 2015 began within the hour.
4.1Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Ionian Sea in GreeceGreek Reporter ·
earthquake A 4.1-magnitude underwater earthquake struck the Ionian Sea in Greece shortly after 9:30 am on Friday, according to the National Observatory of Athens.
4.3 Magnitude Earthquake in Southern CreteGreek Reporter ·
Earthquakes have historically caused widespread damage across central and southern Greece, Cyprus, Sicily and other neighboring regions.
Tips from ready.gov
- Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.
- Look for and extinguish small fires. Fire is the most common hazard after an earthquake.
- Be aware of possible tsunamis if you live in coastal areas. These are also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called "tidal waves"). When local authorities issue a tsunami warning, assume that a series of dangerous waves is on the way. Stay away from the beach.
- Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages.
What is an earthquake?
Earthquakes with magnitude of about 2.0 or less are usually called microearthquakes; they are not commonly felt by people and are generally recorded only on local seismographs. Events with magnitudes of about 4.5 or greater - there are several thousand such shocks annually - are strong enough to be recorded by sensitive seismographs all over the world. Great earthquakes, such as the 1964 Good Friday earthquake in Alaska, have magnitudes of 8.0 or higher. On the average, one earthquake of such size occurs somewhere in the world each year.
Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake as determined from measurements on seismographs. An earthquake has one magnitude. The magnitude scale most commonly in use now is called the moment magnitude scale. Moment is a physical quantity proportional to the slip on the fault times the area of the fault surface that slips; it is related to the total energy released in the EQ. The moment magnitude provides an estimate of earthquake size that is valid over the complete range of magnitudes, a characteristic that was lacking in other magnitude scales.
Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Intensity is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment. An earthquake can produce shaking of many different intensities. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is used in the US.

From a recent Dictionary.com "Word of the Day" email:
Hellion entered English in the mid-1800s from the Scottish and Northern English word of unknown origin hallion meaning "worthless fellow." When this word crossed the pond, the "a" in hallion was replaced by an "e," supposedly because of associations with hell.
That etymological process seems eggcornish to me. In fact, since "hallion" seems to be in current use, however rare, in some circles (it's listed in just two of the many dictionaries accessed by the OneLook dictionary aggregator site—Wordnik and Urban Dictionary), I would say that "hellion" for "hallion" is an eggcorn. What say y'all?

An eggcorn, and a good one.
An overly successful eggcorn, i.e. a folk-etymology. Only we pedants would know or care about hallion . (In fact I didn't know about it before reading your post.) Like any other folk-etymology, it was presumably a good solid eggcorn when it first occurred.
Despite etymological dictionaries' not mentioning it, I wonder if there's any connection between hallion and rapscallion ? (The only hits I found for Rapskellion were names or Internet handles. I still wonder if anybody out there says it that way?)

*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
DavidTuggy—Wordnik and the Urban Dictionary both mention "hallion" without designating it as archaic or obsolete. This seems to imply that it is in current usage, however rare, as slang or otherwise. If that's the case, wouldn't it be an eggcorn and not just a folk etymology derived from a past eggcorn?
Not for anybody who never heard it or read it. I don't think I had. As far as current usage goes, hellion is (relatively) well-established, and hallion is very marginal. It's possible that there's somebody out there who heard "hallion" and thought "hellion—that's a good name for a hell-bent hell-born rake-hell. I'll use it!". If so, that person would be committing an eggcorn. I'm skeptical that anyone alive has done that. I think most of us only ever heard or saw "hellion", and took it from there.
Folk-etymologies don't need to be 100% non-recoverable for 100% of the population to count as such.

There are a lot of RNG mechanics that don't really seem to add much, and could be replaced with something consistent - random chance to miss attacking uphill with a ranged attack, random chance to crit, random chance to dodge, Chaos Bolt stuns and damages for a random amount within set limits, and so on. Over the course of an entire game or several games it evens out (otherwise the mechanic would deemed broken in some way and I'd assume something would've been done about it), but that's not really much consolation when you might win a game you should've lost because you rolled a 20 instead of an 18.
I'm not a fan of how carries can often grow to become virtually unstoppable after a certain point. I agree that it's possible to delay that point, and I've seen professional teams pull it off plenty of times, but I still don't feel that's an acceptable mechanic for a game that's purportedly a skill-based game... especially when the majority of the gameplay for a carry consists of "right-click a target, continue right-clicking until all targets are gone, and then right-click to somewhere else."
I'm just disappointed that, after close to 400 hours in Dota 2 (and however many hours of Dota back in ~2004-2005), the game still seems to be mostly about spamming disables and less about real, skill-intensive actions, especially when you compare it to a proper shooter like Quake or UT, or even the more indie-style ones like Nexuiz (haven't looked at the new version, talking about the old one) or Warsow, where it's literally your skill against their skill and nothing else.

Everyone loves the invites. Telling all my friends about this site. Couldn't be any happier.
Chocolate Card
I just love my beautiful chocolate pink and kiwi green invitations they really turned out to be wonderful. This site is really worth every penny you put in to it... Excellent Work..
Number one I have to say I bought the save the dates and my invitations from magnetstreet. I absolutely love both, not to mention the discounts I received. The design was so easy to alter in a way that made it personal for me. The best thing of all was the phone call I got from Andrea when one of the colors I had chosen was illegible. That was great that someone really cared instead of sending me a bunch of invitations no one could read they let me know so we could make some changes and they are great.
Wedding Invitation
Everything about the invitation/rsvp's is great except, be very careful when choosing your COLOR!!!! I chose what I thought was my color and it ended up being ALOT darker than what I expected. Other than that its excellent.

I haven't read this yet, but saw them interviewed by McLaughlin - (an interrupting, annoying interviewer). At the link below, click on Amazon to read customer reviews. (Publisher's Weekly = thumbs down. Scientific American = thumbs up.)
(Notice that people who read this book also read Dawkins).
