 or shorted connectors, the presence of phantom power, and grounded shields. What’s more, it’s a test-tone generator with 1 kHz for testing audio gear and A-440 Hz for musical instrument tuning; available output levels are +4 dBu, -10 dBv, or -50 dBv. There’s no more need to waste time wondering whether your audio or data cables have a problem—just whip out this handy, compact tester, and get your answer in seconds.
And while we’re on the subject of cables…with so many installations, it’s often essential to trace wires or cables. The ECL400-011 takes care of that task easily and efficiently, even with bundled cables. The package includes a Tone Generator with test leads, RJ-11 jack, continuity and tone modes, and LED display, along with an amplifier probe with earphone jack and signal LED for signal strength indication. You can locate and test any kind of copper cabling media (including shielded or UPT cable), 75 or 50 ohm coax cable, 10 Base-T or 10/100 Base-T datacom networks, POTS telecom service, and more—with a testing range of 4,900 feet. When you need to identify cables quickly and easily (including hidden cables), and verify conductor continuity, the ECL400-011 is your friend.
If one of your new year’s resolutions is better cable organization, look no further. Sure, you can buy sets of cable ties or wraps, but they’re not always the exact size you need. With Hosa’s WTI-501, you can cut your cable tie to size from a 15’ roll of black velcro, with nylon loops on one side, and nylon hooks on the other. Cut what you need to length, wrap it around your cables—done. It’s fast, easy, and economical because you can use only what you need. Just add scissors!
Few things are more annoying than hum. You try different grounding schemes, filter the AC line, even take a chance with dangerous ground lifts. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to break ground loops safely: the Ebtech Hum Eliminator, which also leaves all signal grounds intact. It converts automatically between balanced and unbalanced line at either end, includes XLR inputs and outputs, and uses an all-passive design to avoid signal degradation. The crosstalk between channels is better than -97 dB, and the frequency response is 20 Hz to 70 kHz, ±0.5 dB. (Note that the maximum source impedance is 1k ohm, while the minimum load impedance is 10k ohm.) So go ahead—nuke that hum, and clean up your audio.
Cable testers are great—if you can access both cable ends. But for long runs and chasing down phantom power issues, you need a cable bloodhound that can sniff out problems. TecNec’s ST-XLR-SS Rat Sniffer-Sender Test Set does exactly that by delivering a battery-powered, XLR female sender voltage source that tests potential XLR line faults. Meanwhile, the XLR male cable tester can use either the sender or phantom power as a test source. Armed with the sender and tester, you can test out snake systems quickly and easily, as well as check cables whose ends are far away from each other. Both units are compact, fit easily in your pocket, and use color-coded LEDs to indicate shorts, opens, or crossed wires in XLR cables, as well as whether any problems are with a mic or the line feeding it. We’re in favor of anything that speeds troubleshooting—and the Rat Sniffer qualifies.
I'm 25. I seriously considered not coming out because of your first reason. I guess I'm paranoid.

But, I changed my mind when I realized that over half of my "friends" on Facebook already knew. Mostly I had told them or they had heard through the grapevine (my choice to have people in my circle of friends tell each other). I also deleted quite a few people before coming out. I simply changed my name, some people noticed, a lot of people haven't said anything to me still.

Here's my thought, social media is so popular now, we can't get away from it. Someone will post a picture of you, mention your name in a post, etc. So I say embrace it. 

And to be out or not be out? Unless you are making many new friends and you feel great about being stealth with new people, well you're not going to have a big social life. Maybe you're an introvert and like only having a few friends, great. But based on your post it seems like you want your old network back.Almond Bar (Nationwide Shipping) - 1/2 Pound is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.

Sir Joseph Lock (1760–1844)
Joseph Lock Lock was born at his father’s original shop at 135 High Street, Oxford on 13 April 1760, and was baptised at All Saints Church four days later. Parson Woodforde mentions giving money to Joseph when he was a child at his father’s shop.
On 13 April 1774 Joseph, then aged 14, was apprenticed to his father for seven years, and followed him into the goldsmith and banking business.
In 1781 Lock married Elizabeth Watson, daughter of the grocer Benjamin Watson who lived in the parish of St Peter-in-the-East. The next year Lock was admitted free, and went into partnership with his father: Bailey’s Western & Midland Directory for 1783 lists “Lock, Edward, and Son” as goldsmiths and jewellers.
Both Joseph Lock and his wife Elizabeth (née Watson), daughter of Oxford grocer Benjamin Watson, were both loathed by the people of Headington from the moment that they built their country house there in around 1805.
The Locks lost at least five children in infancy in All Saints Parish (6 & 7 High Street), and it seems likely that they decided to move to the country so that their three surviving children (Edward, born in 1785; Elizabeth, born in 1793; and Maria, born in 1797) could enjoy fresher air. They built their first country house at Iffley between 1794 and 1800 (now Denton House, on the high ground above Iffley Turn). But they did not remain therefor long, as the enclosure award of 1801 gave Joseph Lock a large parcel of land in Headington, where he built Bury Knowle House as his country retreat.
In 1805 Lock erected a wall across the footpath that was the coffin route from Headington Quarry (which then had no church of its own) to St Andrew’s Church. (This is the footpath that runs behind the present Old High Street car-park.) Three times the doughty Quarry men smashed down the wall, and three times Lock rebuilt it, taking three of the men involved to court.
The then vicar of St Andrew’s Church, Thomas Whorwood, was financially dependent on his older brother, Henry Mayne Whorwood, Lord of the Manor of Headington and lay rector; and the latter, though despising Lock, had to tread carefully because he owed him money. But James Palmer, the curate of St Andrew’s, did not see why the people of Quarry should have to carry their coffins further than was necessary to get to their church. In 1805 he wrote to the Bishop of Oxford, not mincing his words on the subject of Mrs Ballachey’s parents:
Mr Lock, whose improper conduct has made no inconsiderable disturbance in this parish, is a person in whose estimation the possession of money is a compensation for the absence of almost everything else…. Mr Lock would not be so much disliked as he is, if he did not permit his wife, who is a busy meddling woman, to interfere as much as she does in everything in which he is concerned. He suffers her to make a fool of him, therefore he is a fool.
In the end, St Andrew’s Church lost out; the people of Quarry turned their backs on Old Headington and arranged to have a Methodist preacher come to them; they never came back to St Andrew’s, and their own parish church was built for them in 1849.
On 12 October 1805 the death of Lock's infant son in Headington two days earlier was announced in Jackson's Oxford Journal.
Joseph Lock continued to run his shop in the High Street, and probably spent some of his time down there. His son Edward was apprenticed to his father for seven years in April 1799 at the age of 14; was admitted a Freeman of Oxford in 1806 at the age
