didn't realise I'd written so much.
Some helpful replies. Most poster know about my neighbour, as regards the fence which sounds about the same hieght as the one built by my neighbour.I built a trellis a ft into my property to grow stuff on, which has been fine but the fence is falling down into the garden now. The jury's still out as to what to do about that little problem, I put a lock on the gate so he has to knock on the front door to talk about it. The point is he can't enter my garden without me knowing about it, he certainly can't lift the fence and just stroll in.
There have always been children in the house on the other side, it's rented but the owners did once live there and are actually nice people. I got sick of the family with lots of children who would play cricket in the garden every summer. They would knock on the front door though for their balls but spending entire afternoons answering it was no fun. In the end we took out a narrow panel near the house so they could just come and get their balls so long as they hadn't landed in the veg plot and we agreed if anyone hit the ball over the fence they lost a run instead of gaining one.
Then there is the current family with small children who complained the cat was pooing in their garden, I bought them water pistols and they spent several fun filled days squirting the cat if she went into their garden, the rule was they could only squirt if she was on the fence or in their garden but not if she was sat at the gap in the fence and on my side. She soon learnt to sit at the gap and the children would come over and stroke her. They were most upset when she died.
The point I'm making is you can sometimes work it out with some neighbours but not with others. I find it easier just to ignore neighbour from hell but keeping a diary of not nice stuff helps if you want to make a complaint about them, taking pics also helps so long as you tell them why your doing it.
Mike/Edd. I asked one of the other allotmenteers about burning stuff. How to do it etc... as everythings wet and there's now a pile of brambles at the top of the site. They gave similar advise to yours and suggested if I was going to burn stuff do it on the bramble site as it would kill the roots.
The boundaries were also put in last weekend and the grass on the otherside of the plot isn't mine which was good news. Black plastic covers that side up to the boundary and whilst the soil is compact and there are roots under it, these are are near the surface.
Me thinks the site will be rich in nutrients after being dug over
I'm starting on the fence next week. The boundaries of the plot were marked out last weekend by the association and a friend has been roped into help. The sites not quite ready, I've still got a couple of brambles to dig out one side and a heap of stuff to burn at the top of the plot.
If the fence doesn't stop rabbits, may buy a couple of ferrets.
Cloudy but dry here. Can't wait for the weekend, I'm on holiday for a week and a friends helping with the allotment. Had planned to go to Harlow Carr Gardens one day and stay over in Harrogate but will have to see what the weather brings.
I tried the veg strips one year and found them really good. Saved on sowing too many seeds and there was no thinning out as the seeds were evenly spread along the strip.Can't recall how much they cost though.
I'd just put the disc in the centre of your pot and follow the instructions..
SD I only smoke when I'm angry
It's still to early to sow carrots and growing them in troughs isn't advised. They have a long tappered roots which need to be able to grow down fairly deep to produce a long carrot.
You can grow mini veg in deep pots and I've grown carrots but they are very small only a few inches long, I didn't think it worth the effort.
I'de advise to wait longer before sowing most veg seeds. Some seed packets do say you can sow in February but you need ideal growing conditions and a kitchen isn't the most ideal.
I start my chillies off about now sowing them in a heated propogator and as soon as they appear vent the propogator before putting them on a window ledge which gets most light. I put them further inside the room if it's cold outside so they don't get a chill through the window, then it's a case of waiting for the last frost before they go out in the GH, potting up when roots appear at the bottom of the pot.
Apache, I've found is always a good cropper. They seem to take forever to flower though but once in flower the fruits grow fairly quickly. Mine polinate without help, would have thought there were enough good guys in a GH or poly tunnel to do the job for you.
I'm in the NW and chillies/peppers are usually the last fruit harvested in the GH. When there's enough chillies on the plant I cut it off at the stem and dry them in the GH hung from the ceiling. They were brought in at the end of October last year to finish drying in the kitchen.
It could be you are sowing too late. As a back up I buy one one or two seedling plants. If you are only growing a few plants it works out more economical than sowing from seed and in my case usually ahead of home sown one's.
LOL at Dove and Verdun.
I've seen a ladybird in the kitchen and quite a few whilst digging up brambles on the allotment.

The first time we encountered the Viewsonic VP range was when we reviewed the VP211b and declared it the best desktop display ever. That particular model used the same 21.3in panel that's in the Samsung SyncMaster 213T, but this screen is slightly smaller at 20.1in and uses a different panel.
Like all the screens in this group test, the native resolution is 1,600 x 1,200. As we've said before, it's only people that have never worked at 1,600 x 1,200 that think that 1,280 x 1,024 is OK. Once you've experienced having multiple windows open, and being able to cut and paste between documents without minimising and maximising them, you'll never want to go back.
One of the best aspects of ViewSonic's VP range is the overall design of both the screen and the stand. The bezel surrounding the panel is as thin as you're likely to find on a screen, which not only means that the monitor takes up less physical space, but also that the image on-screen looks bigger. The s in the VP201s model name indicates that this screen is finished with a silver bezel as opposed to a black one. Personally I much prefer black bezels as they frame the panel better and are less likely to distract the viewer. It is however understandable why ViewSonic offers a silver bezel, since TCO will not grant TCO'03 accreditation to a screen with a black bezel.
If you're fussy about the positioning of your monitor you will love the VP201s - the stand is quite simply a masterpiece. The central column on which the screen is mounted is steadied by two slender feet, which add to the stylish look. The column itself is telescopic allowing the screen to be raised and lowered vertically, but unlike most displays that offer vertical adjustment, the Viewsonic's dampened movement is smooth as silk. In fact the screen can be raised or lowered using the force of just one finger.
Running down the back of the central column is a set of cable tidies to make sure that none of the cables stick out and spoil the clean lines. The stand also allows the screen to pivot through 90 degrees into a portrait mode. Although this isn't an unusual feature with TFT screens, again, few models do it quite as smoothly or easily as this ViewSonic. The icing on the cake is that the OSD automatically rotates through 90 degrees when the screen is pivoted.
Finally, the screen will also pan through roughly 160 degrees on the mounting column, and sure enough the movement is light, smooth and easy.
Below the screen, on the fascia are five buttons. The far left button marked 1 will bring up the OSD, while the next two will move you up and down through the OSD. The fourth button is marked 2 and will select options when in the OSD. When not in the OSD pressing the 2 button will cycle through the inputs. The final button will power the monitor on and off. Navigating the OSD is pretty straight forward, and even though labels of "menu†and "select†might have been more intuitive than 1 and 2, you soon get used to it.
At the back you'll find both DVI and D-SUB inputs, along with the power socket and a hard power switch. There's also a USB hub at the rear with one upstream and four downstream ports. But unlike most USB hubs integrated into monitors, this one supports USB 2.0, so you'll be able to get high-speed transfer rates.

NYFirearms friends,
To those of you who have full unrestricted carry permits in Upstate NY, I would like to know how you got them?
When you write your letter to big brother, what do you say to them to convince them to issue you a full unrestricted carry permit? I would like to know, because when I move there, in spite of what my fiance says, I am going to apply for one. I refuse to not carry.
Help and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

American auto industry about to go on hiring spreeAP , Associated Press
Jun. 9, 2013 7:57 PM ET
DETROIT (AP) — The auto industry is about to go on a hiring spree as car makers and parts suppliers race to find engineers, technicians and factory workers to build the next generation of vehicles.
American factories are operating at about 95 percent of capacity, and many are already running three shifts. As a result, some auto and parts companies are doing something they've been reluctant to consider since the recession: Adding floor space and spending millions of dollars on new equipment.
The stepped-up hiring will help sustain the nation's job growth and help fuel consumer spending.
The auto industry's outlook is bright. Vehicle sales for 2013 could reach 15.5 million, the highest in six years. To meet that demand, automakers must find more people. Hundreds of companies that make parts for automakers have to hire, too, just to keep up.

Review by the Editors of Manner of Man Magazine
Americans in Florence: Sargent and The Impressionsts of The New World is related to the exhibition held at Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy, which ran from March 3rd to July 15th, 2012 titled Americans in Florence: Sargent and the American Impressionsts.
This publication is unique in the sense that it runs as both a fine volume documenting the period but also as a rich catalogue not often seen today.
The opening begins with history presented in a manner congruent with the best of scholarly volumes on the period. The main body of the presentation covers exhibited works beautifully. It is informative and by virtue of the large reproduced images lends visual grandeur to the context in which they are included and to the portion of the volume the reader is next to be reviewing.
The images of both artworks and vintage photographs are largely presented full page with outstanding reproduction, which makes one feel like they are in the period. The formal appendix works well after the visual grand tour of the main body as it takes the reader deeper into important information (as it should but after what one has experienced it deepens the sensitivity and appreciate for the works and the period in which they were created in a scholarly way that is not dry or boring.)
This stated the book is highly unique in terms of the period covered, but moreover for being beautifully and sensitively written, without ever being dramatic.
Those who have both seen the exhibition and those who did not have the opportunity to do so will find it a pure joy to have in hand for a long time to come. Americans in Florence: Sargent and The Impressionsts of The New World is a rare visual luxury to behold and one we highly recommend unconditionally for your library.
Highly recommended
About This Book
The discovery of Italy by American artists of the late nineteenth century. The relationship American impressionists had with Italy, and with Florence in particular, became very intense in the decades spanning the close of the nineteenth and dawn of the twentieth centuries. Florence, Venice and Rome had been at the heart of the Grand Tour for centuries and had become legendary for all those eager to study the art of the past. The book features the works by painters who, while not explicitly subscribing to the new style, were nevertheless crucial masters. Among them were Winslow Homer, William Morris Hunt, John La Farge, and Thomas Eakins. They were to be followed by great precursors such as John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, and James Abbott McNeill Whistler, who could lay claim to considerable cosmopolitism. A place of honor is reserved for those artists who spent time in Florence and who deserve to be better known. Their number includes the American impressionist group known as the Ten American Painters. Besides them, Frank Duveneck also played an important role in fostering relations between American and local artists.

A friend who is a GI doc told me about fecal transplant as a future possible treatment. I researched it for a couple of months and it seemed to be very low risk and fairly affordable.
I found a friend who was willing to donate his stool, had a doctor order labs to test his stool for pathogens, etc. and evaluate the results of the tests. My friend passed the tests.
I then purchased a blender, strainer and enema bulb, stool collector Each morning after passing a stool my friend called me and i picked up the package and added some distilled water to the poop and blended it, strained it and poured it in the enema.
i did this for 10 days. I showed much improvement, but after eating some food that in the past has been challenging for me, i got worse. So i decided to do the full treatment.
the full treatment involves taking antibiotics for 10 days or so, to kill all gut flora. Then on the last day prior to FT, going on a liquid diet and flushing out your bowels with a laxative.
I then did 12 fecal transplants. The antibiotics and flushing out made my bowels irritated and raw. But in a few days i began to improve. I now have one or two fully formed stools per day.
i each what I want and feel completely normal. I am no longer on Remicade, i am phasing out asacol and 6mp. This was 6 weeks ago.
I want to spread the word that this treatment works for a very high percentage of folks who try it. 75% or more.
you do not necessarily need a doctor, what you need is clean stool. Some people have been cured without the antibiotics.
if you are uncomfortable doing this on your own, or do not have access to a stool donor, there is a doctor in portland oregon Dr Mark Davis that can assist you.

Do they know how or why it works?

Do they know how or why it works?
Not definitively. The theory is that something in the sufferer's gut flora is causing the problem. Exactly what, i do not think they know. Killing off all the flora and replacing it with healthy flora from a screened donor has seemed to work for a pretty high percentage of folks who try it, at least 50% and probably much higher. The risk appears to be minimal. I have heard of a few people developing a fever after Ft. I had zero problems.

The treatment is used more for people with C-Diff injections. It is getting more attention for colitis as well. There are do it yourself kits out there if you want to by pass a doctor all together.

After our conversation I Scrubbed the bathroom, oven, kitchen, balcony, made a chocolate cake which I ate entirely by myself and then ate the rest of my curry. Sad sack much? Nothing like chocolate cake therapy. Although I felt a little sick afterwards.
Marc came over at about 6:30pm and helped me with the last of everything. We packed up his car and went to his place via kaisers for dinner ingredients.
He was getting a little worried because he didn't know what to cook for me, as I am trying to steer away from dairy and his diet consists of bread cheese, butter and apples.
So we bought eggplant, mushrooms, zucchini spetzle and pesto and created a masterpiece. I really like these spetzle. Bronnie when I come home, you won't be able to keep me away! We also bought some yummy things for breakfast ..
I was staying at Marc's tonight. It was easier that way and then I could wash all the bed linen and towels and things, give the keys back and leave from his house the following day after packing my things in his shed. I am going to catch the train to frankfurt and then fly from there to Chennai via Delhi.
So we cooked up a delicious mix of pesto Veges with spetzle, filled ourselves to the top then watched a bit of tv, followed by stardust. I really love this movie, it's so cute and nice. Marc has a really really comfy couch so it wasn't long before I fell asleep..
It's always nice to have a good friend to cheer you up! Thanks for the slumber party!

Skype officially launched its app for the iPad today.
The app was actually available late last night for a few hours and then pulled down, according to CNET, which cites a tweet from Skype's official Twitter account: "To ensure your best Skype experience, we've temporarily removed Skype for iPad which went live prematurely today," the company said. "We know you've been eagerly awaiting Skype for iPad and apologize for the inconvenience."
Well the app, at least for now, is back and ready to download. So grab it while you can. From the video below, you can see that Skype for iPad is similar to Apple's FaceTime but with the bonus that it works over a 3G mobile Internet connection. The app supports the dual cameras in the iPad 2, includes instant messaging and SMS texting, according to Skype's company blog. I'd love hear how smoothly a Skype-over-3G iPad video chat runs, so if anyone out there tries it today, let me know how it goes? I've tried Skype over 3G on my iPhone 4 several times and never been all that impressed with the performance.

I've been way too busy lately with work to do fun things on the weekend, so I was happy to enjoy two entire days doing things I love. Create cocktails, write, read a book, sit outside. It was kind of amazing. It was certainly what I needed to recharge after a busy January. I spent some of this time trying to find a new way to make an old favorite. Sangria!
There are so many varieties of sangria, and I find that the basic ones are best. I shared a few sangria recipes last year for Cinco de Mayo, but I wanted to tweak the Champagne recipe a bit. For Valentine's Day I wanted something fruity with lots of RED! Strawberries are currently in season here in Florida, so I knew I had to top my beverage off with these fresh fruit.
I usually mix Sprite, Triple Sec, and sugar into whatever sangria I create. However, Target had a variety of fizzy juice beverages that I had never seen before! I bought two kinds: Peach Mango and Strawberry Raspberry.
I thought the peach fizz would be a great addition to champagne and fruit, and thus, the Strawberry Peach Champagne Sangria drink was born.
Strawberry Peach Champagne Sangria Recipe
- 2 bottles of sparkling wine or champagne (I always use Andre just because it's cheap)
- 2 cups of chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 2-3 cans of Simply Balanced Sparkling Peach Mango (I used two cans at first, but added more as I stirred and got the balance perfect).
- Combine ingredients and let chill for at least two hours. Be creative and add your favorite fruits! I think pineapple would go nicely with this mix as well.
While one of my friends said it looks like Mountain Dew, I assure you it's just the coloring of the glass! :) Saturdays are meant for blue mason jars and paper straws!
Can never have enough fruit!
What's your favorite type of sangria?

I love life!
From Amanda Brent
I was 34 years old and I had been travelling round the world for the last 7 months and come back engaged to my boyfriend of 9 years! Life was great and I was very happy... then we found the lump - only small just above my left nipple.
My partner nagged me to go to the doctors (I thank him for that) - I was advised to see a specialist the next few weeks went by, not a worry as we believed all was normal then the results were I had breast cancer. I felt as if it was someone else they were telling I sat and looked searching for some other explanation from the specialist but none came apart from lots of tears from me! The hardest part was trying to tell the rest of my family and close friends - how do you start a conversation and throw in "oh by the way I have just found out I have breast cancer..."
I started chemotherapy in November of last year every 3 weeks until February - no-one can prepare you for how you feel I have heard that it does not affect some - how lucky they are! I was exhausted, sickly, short of breath and hot sweats at night - I had aged by 30 years overnight! Then the hair loss - you don't realise how much you value something until it goes! However, through wearing the cold cap (freezing jockey style cap worn while undergoing chemo treatment). I did not lose all my hair but waking each morning to find lots of hair on your pillow was quite depressing to me.
While on chemo I decided that I needed to eat healthy foods so a fresh smoothie of at least 4 different fruits a day, plus plenty of veg and no takeaways (well maybe just the odd one!) helped me to feel some strength through the treatment, I also took Milk Thistle tablets to support my liver. I kept a diary by day so that after each treatment I knew when my good days would be and could plan to do something instead of just sitting around - I say this, but sitting around is the best remedy for the first few days after chemo treatment, my experience has taught me how to relax much more than I ever would have done!
I returned to MRI scans and X- rays to assess my next step for treatment I was then told I had a choice either a lumpectomy or a full masectomy - I can understand how people feel when they decide to have the breast completely removed and I did consider this, however, I decided what did I have to loose? If I went for lumpectomy and it was successful then my breast may be fine, if not, then a full masectomy would be needed but I would have tried to save some of my breast.
In April I went into hospital. As the chemo had worked very well the lump was so small now that they had to place a wire into my breast to locate the lump this was done prior to the surgery and even though to me it sounded awful it was fine. I also had all my lymph nodes removed under my left arm as there had been some change in size during chemo. Vest tops and shirts buttoned up the front are really useful after the op as I found it difficult to get my arm over my head! After the op, I religiously stuck to my exercises and use of my left arm is pretty much back to normal now (I can get my normal clothes back on now!).
I got the results of my operation 10 days after the operation, the lymph nodes were all clear - no sign of cancer and the lump had been removed with a clear area all around it - I was delighted and so were all my family and friends!!
I am now having radiotherapy, compared to chemo, yes, it is a walk in the park! Coating yourself in the cream they give you is a must, try and wear loose fitting tops too as this helps as the treatment goes on. I am also on Tamoxifen, yes, this does concern me as we would like to have a family one day, but as my partner says he would prefer to have me well.
I feel there is now light at the end of the tunnel for me, remaining positive and talking about my treatment has helped me enormously. I was so lucky to have a close family and fantastic friends both at work and at home who have supported me and my partner all the way through these months, also my breast care nurse.
Don't delay start to feel your breasts for anything unusual and don't put off things for tomorrow, sort them today!

Sapphire Star
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
"Huh?!?! You want this, amigo? This little rock over here? Are you serious? Well, that's no big deal... Here, take it. What do I need one or two extra gems for? I did not really like that one, anyway."
The Sapphire Star is the fifth Crystal Star in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is found in the Pirate's Grotto, as part of Cortez's treasure hoard. After defeating Cortez in battle, Cortez gives this Crystal Star to Mario when Mario tells the undead pirate he is not interested in his treasure, only the Star. Cortez hands it over willingly, stating that he did not even particularly like the Star. Acquiring the Sapphire Star teaches Mario the move Sweet Feast.

The name Granpa BB's muesli and the picture of the smiling grandfather on its packet probably doesn't conjure up images of a criminal defence lawyer who has worked in South Auckland for 40 years. Just goes to show, don't judge a cereal by its bag.
Frank Hogan first made his muesli in the 70s as he wanted a good start to his busy working days as a young lawyer and was frustrated with the lack of truly good muesli. It's a complaint you hear often - modern breakfast cereal full of oats, dotted sparingly with fruit and coated in sugar.
So he turned it on its head. Instead of 60 per cent oats, Frank's mueslis included more than 60 per cent fruit and nuts and the rest cereal. There are 28 ingredients in total including bran, oats, wheatgerm, buckwheat, oatbran, seeds, nuts and a raft of fruit (all the usual suspects plus things like blueberries cherries and pineapple). The muesli is toasted in vanilla, cinnamon, honey and maple syrup so, though not free of natural sugars, it's definitely free of processed ones.
Frank says it was about three years ago on a boat off the coast of Norway, somewhere above the Arctic Circle (he has travelled extensively) that he made the decision to shift the muesli he's made for his family for four decades into a commercial venture.
We're awfully glad he did. Launched last month at the Food Show, Granpa BB's is already a big success. Frank is thrilled to receive feedback from people saying it's the first bought muesli they've liked and that previously they've had to make their own due to lack of commercial supply.
"I love the feedback from those real muesli lovers," he says. "I shared their frustration." In fact, on his website, he even offers to post out a free sample to any genuine muesli lovers.
It is outstanding muesli. Perfect texture, lots of variety and not one flavour too overpowering. The enormous mix of ingredients means you get a bit of everything in one bite - nutty flavour, a sweet burst of dried fruit, some cereal and some seeds. Impeccable balance. I also loved it as a topping on thick Greek-style yoghurt and fruit.
Frank's daughter, well-known fashion designer Juliette Hogan, is right behind his new venture.
"I can only hope to be as successful as her with my business one day."
We're fairly sure he will be.
Where to buy

speaker and amp distortion
A good speaker typically distorts up to 1% on average but can be much higher at lower frequencies and depending on the room. We might have >10% distortion under certain circumstances. Yet many amp designers speak about distortion profiles and so on at <0.1%. Arguably, in a hifi system the speaker makes the most audible difference to the listener, which is justifiable on the basis that the magnitude of distortion is higher and that frequency response can vary by a similarly large magnitude. Naturally we might ask what the significance is of 0.1% distortion in an amplifier if it's being distorted again by a factor of >10 by the speaker?
the order of the nonlinearity is of importance in determining the proliferation and level of InterModulation Distortion - higher order distortion is generally considered much more objectionable than just 2nd and 3rd
while there is no excuse today for such poor design there is a historical worry about zero crossing distortion in amplifiers - particularly low bias "Class B" outputs - where the amplifier's distortion may actually rise with decreasing signal level
One argument is that speakers don't produce significant levels of higher order harmonics. I would like to see some evidence of that.
It's interesting that we measure the distortion of an amplifier at its output and not via the output of a speaker. Why is that?
I agree with the Professor.
When today power amplifiers are dealing with THD 0.001 % levels
it is more a question of Loudspeaker distortion
if we want to improve sound quality. Substancially.
What about the fact that the music allready has been through 100 or 1000 circuits (recorcing, mixing and editing) before it even gets into your amplifier. All those circuits also adds distortion, that's passed on to the next circuits in line...........
yes to improve audio reproduction we should concentrate on speakers
look at Dr Geddes posts - having explored distortion audibility he considers speaker-room interaction, directivity control, frequency response, minimizing diffraction and high order propagation modes primary - and speaker driver distortion secondary
he doesn't worry about amps at all below a easily achieved threshold of "inaudibility"
he rates amp distortion unimportant as long as its low, and decreases as level decreases - demoing his (US$ 9K/pair) speakers with a Pioneer integrated amp
is speaker distortion dependent on level or frequency or temperature or even the room?
If it is level dependent then at what level is 1% or 0.1% distortion measured?
At what level would it reproduce with better than 0.01% distortion?
You're a clever man, you can find that out. The answer is here: View the 800 Diamond specifications at Bowers & Wilkins - The World's leading Hi Fi and Home Theatre Brand
Klippel GmbH: Introduction - app notes, technical papers and measurements on speaker distortion
One thing to bear in mind also, is that an amplifier will typically perform far worse into a real speaker load, then into the purely resistive load that most are tested under.
Granted this is also an aspect of design and an amplifier that's applicable to a given system should never clip, or it's distortion should always remain inaudible over the entire frequency range and under any dynamic situation it will ever be presented with.
This is one area that quite a lot of systems probably fall down under, but then you can always crank it up one step further, no matter how much power you've got. It might be hazardous to your hearing and the loudspeakers, but most people will turn it up beyond unreasonable at least a few times. Is clipping acceptable here? I'd prefer it not to be, but that isn't always possible.
As to Geddes comments on the importance of distortion, lets not forget that he is dealing with drive units and systems that have inherently low non linear distortion. He considers a driver that produces high distortion to be defective and one that should never be used. This doesn't mean that distortion isn't important, rather it is, but it's a factor that is easily controlled, within acceptable limits, on the performance of todays higher quality transducers.
This also doesn't have to cost a fortune, it just requires knowledge in the area and a good idea on how to maximise the performance of a given design.
I agree with him that the interaction of the loudspeakers within the room is the dominating factor with regards to sound quality and it is good to see that a few people are attempting to address this issue.
One thing perhaps to ask is, should an amplifier and loudspeaker really be considered a system as a whole? Or rather should we use a DSP before the amplifier to control the distortion profile of the music played through the loudspeakers?
Going to absolute limits you could design a system that actively introduces distortion within the electronic side of things that attempts to cancel out the distortion produced by the loudspeakers. Doing this would be no small task though.
I do remember planet10 once mentioning that the total distortion of a friends system was in fact lower with the high distortion SET driving the system, then with a low distortion amp. The SETs distortion was cancelling out the distortion produced by the loudspeaker.

Do You See What I See?
Many facts come to light in the Astraeus interviews. Senator Wen learns that Holly (Felicia Day) has been an over-achiever since birth, Zane (Niall Matter) learned to improvise – not always legally – as a lonely teen, Fargo (Neil Grayston) has always had more smarts than he's been given credit for, and Jo (Erica Cerra) is obsessive about rising to a challenge.
A series of bizarre attacks around town threaten to derail the Astraeus mission, the acts all the more mysterious for appearing oddly familiar. When Carter realizes what is happening, he takes Henry (Joe Morton) on a hair-rising ride to save the life of the man who set out to destroy Carter and Allison's happiness.
While Carter and Henry try to find the source of the contamination, Fargo (Neil Grayston) and Holly (Felicia Day) struggle to remain focused on their Astraeus training despite their growing attraction. The pair have decidedly different ideas about how to handle the situation and Zane's glib advice just adds to their frustration.
With Warren watching their every move, Carter and Allison work together to halt the deadly deterioration of Eureka's atmosphere, but it falls to another couple to help save the day. Fargo and Holly must get past their issues to execute a daring, dangerous mission—in the midst of a toxic snowstorm.
Clueless about the crisis unfolding, Jo (Erica Cerra), Fargo (Neil Grayston), Holly (Felicia Day) and Parrish (Wil Wheaton) find themselves locked up together in isolation, a surprise psychological stress test for the mission. As the four embark on task after bizarre task, tempers – and temperatures – heat up after Zane (Niall Matter) gatecrashes the test and Larry (Christopher Jacot) tweaks the chamber's settings to gauge their reactions. A sudden accident makes the candidates realize that this is no longer a test: they are in very real, very immediate danger. Despite their frustrations and hostility with each other, they must form a cohesive team fast—or die.
What Beverly doesn't know is that two people have escaped her net. Jo Lupo (Erica Cerra) finds a very chilly reception when she picks up Zoe Carter (Jordan Hinson) at the airport. Apparently Jo's secret fling with Zane is no longer a secret... Before Zoe and Jo can sort out the complicated truth, they arrive in an eerie Eureka littered with unconscious bodies. The two must rely on their wits and each other as they team up to thwart a determined — and desperate — Beverly Barlowe.
Happy to sit out the exercise craze, Carter (Colin Ferguson) is excited to investigate what he thinks is an ordinary bank robbery. He's quickly reminded that Eureka is anything but ordinary after he finds that the entire bank is missing, with dangerously volatile antimatter stored inside. When Carter finds the bank, it's 50 feet up in the air with more of the town rising by the minute. He and Henry (Joe Morton) race to solve the microgravity epidemic before what went up comes down — fast — in an explosion that will obliterate the town.
Meanwhile, Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) is overwhelmed with work. When she starts to experience alarming incidents of memory loss, she first blames stress, but finally gives herself a comprehensive brain scan. What Allison finds is deeply disturbing, but what she tells Carter is more shocking still.
While Allison insists that she does not want a place on the trip to Titan, a discovery from her other-timeline self brings this into question. Among the competing scientists, including the curiously familiar Dr. Lee, Dr. Parrish is especially determined to be selected. When Fargo cuts him in the first round, Parrish is livid. Will he seek revenge?
To ensure safety on the Astraeus mission as well as in Eureka, Zane has engineered a cutting-edge security system, called P.A.L.s — Predictive Algorithm Lenses. These contacts give anyone wearing them an immediate readout of the level of risk for whatever, or whomever, they are looking at. While Fargo and Jo love the devices, Carter is less trusting but agrees to test a pair. The P.A.L.s offer a helpful peek into the future, but what Carter and Jo don't see might lead to a deadly meltdown.
Elsewhere in Eureka, Henry and Grace wish their romantic morning could last forever. Carter is happily babysitting with help from Deputy Andy and a reluctant Kevin while Allison attends an out of town seminar. But Jo and Zane's touchy relationship takes a startling turn when Zane's demand for Jo's attention sets off sparks—literally.
As Carter locates Holly, the rash of strange behavior spreads. Even Kevin is affected, zooming off in Carter's Jeep. Can they figure out what's causing the townsfolk to act up before a dangerous stasis anomaly stops Eureka dead in its tracks?
En route to her seminar, Allison stops to rescue a mysterious stranger on a lonely road, an act that will have far-reaching repercussions.
A different kind of relationship gets tested when Fargo and Zane are unwillingly thrown together after a secret experiment misfires and strands them far from home. The two must put aside petty grievances to get back to Eureka in one piece.
As Carter and Allison spearhead the rescue effort back at Global Dynamics, a technological catastrophe hits the town. They must scramble with Henry, Grace and Jo Lupo to avert an unthinkable disaster with none of their usual resources. And even if they succeed, Fargo will have to answer some tough questions from Senator Michaela Wen.
Even a runaway sleigh careening down Main Street fails to ignite Carter's holiday spirit, especially since the low flying Santa turns out to be the eccentric Taggart (Matt Frewer), immersed in the study of "Santalogy" -- science that he insists will prove the existence of the elusive Claus.
The halls get seriously decked when Dr. Drummer's experiment, an unstable hydrogen crystal, starts to grow at a frightening rate. Carter and Henry (Joe Morton) attempt to deal with the potentially explosive crystal, but before long the true scope of the problem is revealed, and it will take more than tinsel and carolers to save Christmas—and Eureka.
Zane insists that Grant is the logical prime suspect, an allegation bolstered by the fact that Grant has gone missing. While Allison and Henry pursue a lead on locating the device, Carter and Jo dig into Grant's records. There, they find an astonishing connection between their supposed friend Grant and the manipulative Beverly Barlowe.
But before any of this can come to light, a catastrophe of Beverly's devising hits Carter and those closest to him. Something has gone horribly wrong, and there is only a million-to-one chance that Carter and a now repentant Grant can pull off the necessary miracle.
Meanwhile, Global Dynamics is testing a new electromagnetic pulse device, a project Mansfield claims is defensive but which Grant and Zane believe to be a potentially dangerous weapon. Their fears seem justified when the Da Vinci Bridge collapses, and soon cars and buildings are beginning to shake themselves apart. Carter, Allison, and their surprise guests set aside their differences to uncover a pattern in the escalating events, but not before Beverly Barlowe goads Grant into making a very dangerous decision.
Just before GD itself falls victim to the violent, mysterious forces, Carter and Fargo discover evidence that points to the perpetrator, whose identity is a shocking revelation. More shocking still are the plans that Beverly has for Grant— and for Eureka.
While Allison tries desperately to cure Thurgood and Carter holds Zimmer on suspicion of attempted murder, Fargo and Dr. Grant ponder a very different kind of problem. Someone at the highest security level has been nosing around in Grant's file. Fearful, they ask Zane to hack into the government's top-secret site and find out who is on Grant's trail. It appears to be to be the I.R.S., but is all this really as simple as an error on his tax form?
Meanwhile, the petrification of Eureka's citizens continues, and Zimmer falls prey, eliminating her as a suspect. Carter and Zoe check out Thurgood's lab and discover a chemical that might be responsible. All they need now is an antidote — before the frightening process claims Zoe, too. Carter and Allison, absorbed in this crisis, would be even more alarmed if they knew that Dr. Grant is on his way to a very shocking meeting.
Meanwhile, back in Eureka, Henry, growing ever fonder of Grace, takes an enormous risk and tells her the truth about how he's not the man she thinks he is. Her reaction? If he's kidding, quit it. If he is serious, she is steamed. The situation gets worse when — inexplicably — one of Grace's experiments apparently attacks Henry. This is not the only computer malfunction in Eureka. Deputy Andy is acting like a lovesick schoolboy, Allison's MRI goes haywire and almost scalps Larry, and other systems are also on the fritz. When Jo and Zane investigate, they find the problem is more serious than first appeared: while a dopey robot deputy might be amusing, the emotionally charged Titan Rover that has just escaped from Global Dynamics could be deadly.
While Carter's camping trip degenerates into one big, outdoor personality conflict, Jo finds the Rover's trail. The monster robot is mad and it's headed toward the campsite. The would-be woodsmen have a lot more to fear than each other.
About This Show
- Summary
For years, the government has been relocating the world's geniuses (and their families) to the bucolic Pacific Northwest town of Eureka, where daily life straddles the line between unprecedented innovation and total chaos. U.S. Marshal Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) finds this out first hand when he wrecks his car and becomes stranded in Eureka. After the town's eccentric inhabitants unleash a scientific creation still unknown to the outside world, Carter steps in to restore order and consequently is let in on one of our country's best-kept secrets.
