False Information/Documents H-1B Employer and Fraud admin on 19 May 2011 07:22 am
Feds Cracking Down with Criminal Convictions Against Employers for H-1B and Work Visa Fraud
H-1B and other employers who run work visa scams have more to fear than just the Department of Labor for their violations. These employers increasingly are facing criminal convictions and imprisonment on charges typically used against organized crime and trafficking rings, such as the Mafia.
In the past several months, federal prosecutors have publicized several cases against employers who were convicted under trafficking and criminal RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) laws for procuring and exploiting foreign workers through visa fraud.
Of note, in March 2011, federal prosecutors in New Jersey reported that the owner of a tech staffing company was sentenced to six months in prison, fined $50,000 and ordered to forfeit an additional $296,921.82 for money laundering in connection with trafficking in immigration documents used to obtain H-1B visas and green cards for Indian workers. Six immigrant employees who paid the employer for the fake visas pleaded guilty and were placed on supervised probation, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ) press release.
The owner, Nilesh Dasondi, pleaded guilty to submitting employment-based visa applications for unqualified and ineligible foreign workers for jobs that did not exist at his company, formerly Cygate Software & Consulting, now Sterling System LLC. When the workers arrived in the United States, the employer told them to go find jobs elsewhere. The employer then ran fake payrolls for these employees to make it look like they were working for the company. As part of the scam, the employees had to reimburse the employee for this payroll and related expenses, DOJ said.
In April, two other staffing company owners in Iowa were convicted of H-1B visa fraud and sentenced to more than three years in prison and ordered to forfeit more than $ 1 million in proceeds. Fazal Mehmood and Viheet Maheshwari, who ran Worldwide Software Services and Sana Systems, plead guilty to applying for H-1B visas for foreign workers that contained false statements about their jobs and work locations typical of body shop scams, according to DOJ. For example, they told the government that employees would be working as programmers and analysts, but those jobs did not exist.
In an unrelated case, eight co-workers of several connected Missouri and Kansas staffing companies that provided labor to the service and construction industries nationwide were similarly convicted of human trafficking and RICO charges for securing visas for illegal workers, DOJ said. The employers exploited the workers by threatening deportation if they complained about the working conditions that amounted to indentured servitude. They were forced to live in crowded apartments for which they were charged exorbitant rents, they worked but were not paid for overtime, and numerous "fees" were deducted from their paychecks resulting in negative earnings ensuring their "debt" to the employer could never be paid.
The Department of State has launched a public education campaign to combat exploitation and trafficking of foreign workers. More information on this resource is available in our blog article Handy Government Guide to Employee Rights; Download and Keep It With You.
If you believe the visa application your employer submitted for your visa may have contained false statements, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.

For area residents, the biggest issue during the December ice storm was communication.
For area residents, the biggest issue during the December ice storm was communication.
That theme was brought up repeatedly by residents of Exeter, Hampton, Kingston and other surrounding towns who spoke Tuesday, March 24, at a public hearing with the Public Utilities Commission and the New Hampshire Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The agencies are holding a series of public hearings around the state to review the responses of state electric utilities during and following the ice storm, including emergency response operations, procedures and communications.
Exeter's Pickpocket Road resident Kerri Singh, a mother of three small children who was out of power for nine days, said she received inaccurate communications from Unitil that power would be restored by midnight each day or that crews were working on the scene when she saw none there. Similar stories were repeated by many of the approximate 20 residents who spoke during the hearing.
"Unitil did not have a plan," Singh said. "I think we deserve more as a community.
"Unitil needs to come back and say this is what we're doing about this, and we as a community need to get involved," she said. "And we need answers, real answers, not a (public relations) thing."
Residents expressed their frustration with the lack of communication from utility companies to residents and municipalities during the outage, which lasted as long as two weeks for some.
However, many who spoke expressed their appreciation for the work of utility crews during the outage, and much of the discussion was geared towards ideas for improvements in the event of a similar situation in the future. Some ideas include establishing communication centers or using a radio station, so residents can find information on shelters, what they can do, what is being done to restore power and in what towns.
Other ideas included establishing a consistent emergency preparedness plan for utility companies and municipalities to practice and put into place in the event of an emergency.
Those who spoke also felt it was important to establish a way to ensure residents, particularly those who are vulnerable like the elderly, are checked on during an emergency.
Kingston Police Chief Donald W. Briggs Jr. spoke about the way his emergency response teams shared information with utility companies about where power was out, what the issue seemed to be and how many people were affected.
Briggs urged other communities to be proactive in communicating with utility companies in keeping the restoration moving forward.
Exeter resident Richard Knight, who works for a utility company, said crews faced devastation they had not seen before, and one issue they experienced was the inability to clear trees from power lines. Utility companies have to receive permission of the property owner before they can clear trees from lines, he said. That's one thing he'd like to see changed after the storm.
"There were less problems in areas where we were able to clear," he said. "It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of hard work.
"Let us do our job and trim the way we are supposed to, to try to lighten the impact of an ice storm like that in 2008," said Knight.
State Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-Exeter, is sponsoring legislation that would make that process easier for utilities.
Members of the Public Utilities Commission staff present Tuesday said the statements were similar to those they've heard in prior hearings.
The commission plans to issue an after action report by September, which will include specific recommendations. It will be available at www.puc.nh.gov.

These are the same as it would be at a theme park, Vegas resort or other venue.
All venues have issues and limitations of stage size and theater layouts. This job will be to develop the concepts and strategies to deliver current and new entertainment to the guests. The tactics and delivery will be worked out with this person and those who work with and for him. Just like the Captain of the ship; he doesn't drive the ship but he sets the course.
I have no issue with someone who has a multi job/company track record. Unless they have not stayed at each job or company for more than a year. In my career I worked for five different companies in 26 years. In all but one of those moves I was recruited to the new position and did not actively seek it.
Even if someone is with a company for only two or three years they can change the direction and implement new strategies that can then be used for years after they have left.
It is always disconcerting when the "old guard" changes but Carnival is changing and new people and ideas will be required to fulfill that change. Will it be better? We'll have to wait and see.
Take care,
I disagree that it has little to do with the cruise component.
As someone earlier pointed out, there are limitations on a cruise ship that are not faced on land.
Cruise Directors are the face of the company at all times. The list of "duties" you shared is only a very small part of what they do.....
they are the "Mom or Dad" for 1,000s of crew members.
they are where the "buck stops" for thousands of passengers if something goes wrong.
they are the ONE person that is the ultimate :go to guy/gal: on that ship ....
I do not know how many amusement parks that had one individual to sit and talk with thousands of passengers when 9/11 happened....
or deal with the outrage of unhappy passengers if a hurricane wreaks havoc on a ship casuing it not to return for days (and then to a completely different port)....
I don't think just anyone would want to tell 3,000 people that while they left from Galveston...they will be docking in New Orleans...and btw, you car is probaby a floating ornament as we speak.
So yes, there are many unique things to cruising....
We certainly wish the new guy the best....but part of me can not help but be concerned....after seeing the changes Cahill has made in the past.
If it is Carnival and it floats....we have sailed it!
Hubby ... DIAMOND (every ship except the Carnivale)

Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has reiterated his call for an extension of the presidential term arguing, the four-year term is not enough to make a meaningful impact as President.
He has argued that in view of the global race for development, a Ghanaian president needs time to implement his programmes and also plan the economy.
At International Society for African Philosophy and Studies (ISAPS) conference on the theme, 'Democracy Justice and Development in Africa: 50 Years after Independence', former President Kufuor criticised the framers of the constitution for failing to undertake adequate research before deciding on the duration for presidency.
The former president's call is not new. In his last address to parliament after eight years in power, President Kufuor opened a debate over presidential tenure when he suggested that at least a five-year tenure should be suitable for the African situation.
He indicated that the first year in government is often used to configure the new administration as the new team tries to appreciate how governance works.
Former President Kufuor said policies are organised into a body of bills to be submitted to Parliament and programmes are also rolled out in the second year.
"In the third year, the programmes and policies would have showed signs of promise or failure and government may have to decide how to fine-tune its programmes," he explained.
Former President Kufuor noted that even before the third year ends, government begins to move into election year politics and the fourth year, planned developments could be sidetracked in favour of electioneering campaigns adding that "governments tend to take short cuts in order to satisfy the electorate".
"If we have a five-year term, the third year would see to the maturing of policies and laws, the fourth year will see the good policies that would serve the nation and by the fifth year when people are canvassing for power, the good works can be judged by all," he said.

The IR is pleased to present this excerpt from The Perspective of Love: Natural Law in a New Mode a new book by R.J. Snell, "one of the young bright lights of natural law thinkers."
While the natural law itself is universal and invariant, theories about the natural law vary widely. This essay, excerpted from a chapter in The Perspective of Love: Natural Law in a New Mode by R.J. Snell, attempts to define those differences in an effort to present a new perspective of natural law; one rooted in love.
In a very helpful essay, J. Budziszewski explains those elements common to all natural law theories. All "share a conviction that the most basic truths of right and wrong . . . are not only right for everyone, but at some level known to everyone by the ordinary exercise of reason. They are an heirloom of the family of man." Every natural lawyer would agree, he suggests, that basic truths are natural because somehow "embedded into the structure of creation, especially human nature, which includes the structure of the human mind," and all would agree that this structure obligates or binds. True, known to be true, and right.
Particularly, he differentiates four aspects commonly affirmed by classical accounts, while new natural law demonstrates less commitment to the second and third: (1) a normative structure to practical reason; (2) an evident design to human nature; (3) the particular aspects of this design and the innate purposes and meanings of the designs; (4) natural consequences or discord to violating the good proper to our nature. As Budziszewski indicates, much of the dispute in the natural law literature between classical and contemporary theories pivots around the status of teleology in nature: does nature reveal design, can design be known absent theological commitments, does design entail normativity and obligation, is the Aristotelian paradigm of final causality still meaningful, is metaphysical biology sensible, and does natural law begin with and ground its conclusions upon nature? In short, what is the status of teleology?
As Leo Strauss articulated in his classic Natural Right and History, commitment to natural right seems reminiscent of a world existing no longer, part of a teleological universe "destroyed by modern natural science" and rejected by the social sciences in the name of "History and in the name of the distinction between Facts and Values."Given the ateleological universe, historicism, and the fact/value distinction, it might appear quite unreasonable to maintain belief in natural law or natural right, for the intellectual substructure is, as Alasdair MacIntyre put it, echoed by David Bentley Hart, "unacceptable by the dominant standards of modernity." Yet the cultural and scientific developments noted by Strauss have not resulted in the withering away of either natural right or natural law but instead contributed to a renewed vitality as some thinkers deepen the commonplaces of the tradition while others develop or stretch the tradition in new directions. This is to be expected, for challenges to a tradition cause crisis, irrational and wooden traditions either capitulating or refusing to engage while more supple and reasonable traditions ask new questions, pose new answers, transpose old answers, and articulate themselves in new and productive directions.
This is not the first time that natural law has developed in response to a crisis presented by some theoretical or social challenge, so we should not be surprised to find it developing previously. And in each of these moments of challenge, I suggest, the crisis has been occasioned by the meaning of "nature." What is so natural about the natural law; what is nature?
Intentional Differences
In the Introduction [to The Perspective of Love] I claimed that "nature" functioned as a heuristic, which is to say that its meaning comes from what we seek to know, the unknown x, or from what we intend. Since what humans seek to know differs quite radically across cultures, times, places, and tasks, there are consequently many "natures." This is not an unknowable chaos, however, since paying attention to how our conscious operations work—noetic exegesis—allows us to explain the origin and development of the many "natures" by adverting to the disparate ways or exigences of how humans direct consciousness. Consequently, we can distinguish the multiple meanings of nature, including the historical development of those meanings and the various crises which have emerged in that history, by adverting to the different functions of consciousness.
According to Lonergan, Aristotle expressed something fundamental in the opening lines of the Metaphysics: "All men by nature desire to know." When the animal has its physiological needs met, it sleeps, but when the human has met its needs, we do math or theology or go exploring, for our intelligence is essentially dynamic love; so long as we want to know, so long as we care and direct our intelligence towards knowing, our consciousness continues to operate in a cumulative, self-correcting, and indefinite process of accumulating data and acquiring new insights. This dynamism is for some unknown, and we seek this unknown spontaneously, by some innate tendency, although it "is a conscious tendency . . . we do so intelligently." Children ask incessant questions, without prompting, according to some inner impetus, although the dull child, the one who does not care to know, can rarely be coaxed or coerced into knowing if he lacks the desire, for knowledge does not just happen because the external data is present but because of the interior condition of inquiry and the interior operations by which we arrive at knowing. The interior condition manifests itself in questions, for we would not ask unless there was an unknown, and we could not ask unless we sought something. Something: what we seek exists as an ideal, but not clearly or explicitly or we would already have what we were seeking.
The transcendental condition of our questions is the dynamic desire to know, and to know what is unknown, an x, and this unknown x functions as a heuristic, as an intended ideal that as yet is not appropriated or known. It is whatever is intended by the question. But what is intended by questions is not empty or abstract. The condition of questioning is transcendental—the "pure question"—but "no one just wonders. We wonder about something." Of course, we can wonder about many things, in many different ways, and there are different heuristics at different times, in different communities, and so on. The pursuit is intelligent and conscious, but it is not conceptually explicit, and it differs and develops as questions differ and develop, so "how do you proceed methodically . . . to the attainment of something that you do not know, something which, if known, would not have to be pursued?" According to Lonergan, the solution is precisely that metatheory by which we try to catch ourselves in the act of knowing which Budziszewski judged distracting:
The solution . . . to this problem is self-appropriation. . . . The ideal we seek in seeking the unknown, in trying to know, is conceptually implicit. There does not exist naturally, spontaneously, through the whole of history, a set of propositions, conceptions, and definitions that define the ideal of knowledge. But to say that conceptually it is implicit . . . that these statements differ in different places and at different times—they are historically conditioned—is not to say that it is nonexistent. While the conception of the ideal is not by nature, still there is something by nature. The ideal of knowledge is myself as intelligent, as asking questions, as requiring intelligible answers . . . and if we can turn in upon these fundamental tendencies, then we are on the way to getting hold. . . .
Denying any universal set of propositions and definitions may seem surprising for a proponent of natural law, but note as well his affirmation of a basic, universal, and innate tendency—the pure question—to which we pay attention as a clue.
The pure question is innate and universal, but the exigences of the pure question are disparate, with the plurality of "natures" tied to the plurality of patterns in which questions can develop. We should not be surprised to find within the natural law tradition serious differences of articulation and meaning, then; nor should this pose any threat to the coherence of the tradition and its claims of universal legitimacy, for any theory which claims to be inextricably caught up in human reason is thereby inextricably historical. Further, as tied to reason, which has its grounding in the pure question and the dynamic desire to know, we can investigate differences within the tradition as understandable because of the patterns and exigencies of questions.
R. J. Snell is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Philosophy Program at Eastern University, as well as Research Director for the Agora Institute for Civic Virtue and the Common Good. He is the author of Through a Glass Darkly: Bernard Lonergan and Richard Rorty on Knowing without a God's-Eye View (2006) and coauthor (with Steven D. Cone) of Authentic Cosmopolitanism: Love, Sin, and Grace in the Christian University (2013).

Hey everyone,
My Fiance dropped off our rings at the jewelry store to be engraved with lyrics from our first dance song. At the store, they never asked us about the font that we wanted. They later called my Fiance that week (he did not tell me) and had the ring engraved in Arial writing. I hate the way it looks (looks very elementary)! I had always pictured a fancy cursive type writing for the engraving on my wedding ring. Should I make a fuss and have the rings re-engraved? I feel bad because my Fiance did not realize that I would not like it (he said "I thought it would be easier to read". Help!!

I was having the exact same problem, only since I don't pay for bandwidth, I wasn't overly concerned. Then, last week, my internet was down to a crawl. Seems someone was trying to drain Limewire through my router. I have a Linksys router, with the downstairs computer hard wired, and the upstairs computer on a wireless Dynex card. I tried WEP, WPA and WPA2, and this stupid Dynex card wouldn't hook up. It was asking for more info than I had. I used the instructions for the router, I used the auto network setup from both Linksys and Windows, and it still wouldn't work. I called the cards "help" line, and after trying to explain for 15 minutes the problem, then being put on hold while he "looked into it", he came back on and said, "Uh, I can give you the set up help line number, but it is a pay service". "Uh, you know what? I'd rather pay for a good card than spend more money on this piece of crap".
ANYWAY...what I wound up doing was assigning MAC addresses to the router, so it only allows certain computers on, and also turning of DNS address (I think I have that right). Anyway, I told my router to stop broadcasting the name, and change the name of my network. It isn't fool proof, but so far so good. Once one of my IT buddies stops by, I'll see if they can set up encryption. If not, I'll spend money on a card with instructions not in broken english.
That being said, are you sure it is your router, and not a worm or something on one of your computers? I'm wondering if they are somehow accessing your wireless computer and getting on the net that way.
Oh, and your router should have a log file. I've been checking mine every day to see if anyone's logged on.

Free software is fantastic, but sometimes when you download a program, an unwanted extra comes along for the ride. That's where Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can help, giving your existing antivirus software a boost and picking up any security threats that it misses.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is particularly good at finding and erasing potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Thesearen't viruses, so they might not be picked up by your regular security software, but they're a nuisance. They can redirect your homepage, change your default search engine, add toolbars to your browser, place sponsored links on your desktop, and generally make your life miserable. They can also compromise your privacy, monitoring your comings and goings, then reporting back to advertisers.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware also wipes out more serious issues, including ransomware. It won't replace your usual antivirus software, but it a superb addition to your online security arsenal.
User experience
When you first install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you'll be given a 14-day free trial of the premium edition, including real-time scanning. Once that expires, you'll have to open the program and scan for issues yourself, but this is easy and well worth the effort.
Although Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is designed to work as a supplement to your regular antivirus software, not a replacement, it's worth quickly checking the official forums to see if there are any known conflicts.
During scans, Malwarebytes Anti-malware checks your PC's memory, startup files, registry and file system – a comprehensive search that should pick up any dangerous programs that are currently running, or ready to launch themselves next time you reboot your PC. It'll take some time, but is well worth the effort – either as part of routine maintenance, or if you've noticed your PC or web browser behaving strangely.
The detection rates are excellent, and if you find yourself performing manual scans on a regular basis, it's definitely worth considering an upgrade to the premium version.

It's been almost exactly 12 years since I saw D'Angelo perform at the Chicago Theatre, supporting his instant-classic sophomore full-length "Voodoo." It still ranks as the best performance I've ever seen.
Leading the Soultronics (including ?uestlove on drums), the artist whose personal struggles would largely keep him off the stage and out of the public eye for the last decade-plus, adapted the model of a Prince show and imbued it with added physicality and swagger, plus the agility of some dynamite horns and an untouchable rhythm section. Don't dismiss D'Angelo just because he made a video that caused many to see him only for his physique, a perception that reportedly played a significant role in the troubles that followed him not long after his career year in 2000. Anyone who knows and loves both "Brown Sugar" and "Voodoo," and has been lucky enough to see him live, knows that D'Angelo is not some ordinary love-sick crooner, or, sigh, a magazine cover boy. He's the real deal--the voice, the artist, the performer--and you'll know why when you see him on stage.
Lucky for all of us, now there's actually a chance to do that. With Mary J. Blige and Melanie Fiona, D appears Thursday, Sept. 13 at United Center. Tickets ($39.75-$125.75) go on sale 10 a.m. Saturday. Buy some. Really.

Notes sourced from M. Chapoutier
Marsanne. Selection of our oldest Marsanne vines.
Situated at the top of the hermitage hill, around the chapel, in a place named Ermite on very poor granitic soils (gore).
Hand harvested.

On August 11, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced $169 million in funding under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for 266 new community health centers in 46 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. HHS expects the new centers to improve access to primary healthcare services for more than 1.2 million people.
The new funding is in addition to $101 million that was awarded to 164 new health center sites in May of this year. Earlier rounds of ACA funding for health centers were discussed here.
HHS's new announcement was made during National Health Center Week, which HHS called "an annual celebration that highlights the many accomplishments of the Nation's health centers."

In this Article we will see Some useful validation Using JQuery in asp.net using Jquery Validation Plug-in must be useful for Login page or User Registration page etc..We will also see how to perform validation in a asp.net web page which uses master page.
As we know that JQuery is a javascript library and using thins we can able to write some like animation, Validation using minimum code.
Lets Start with first with a page which does not uses Master Page and later in this article we will see JQuery Validation with Master Page.
Step 1 : Download the JQuery Plug in from Here and JQuery Validation Script Plug-in From here both are .js file.
Step 2 : Add the above file reference in your asp.net web page under
Step 3: Declare asp.net text box in your form
Step 4: Now add you Jquery validation code inside
For eg in this we have taken a text box with id txtUserName and form name form1
Now we will see one by one Email, UserName, password, URL Validation using JQuery in Asp.net.
below is the JQuery Script to validate User Name whhich is required field and Accept minimum 5 Characters
and HTML Code for the UserName Textbox
<asp:TextBox ID="TxtUserName" runat="server">asp:TextBox>
Below is JQuery code to validate Password Field which is required field and should have minimum 5 characters
and the HTML code for the Password Field which is required field and should have at least 5 characters
here is the script to validate Email using JQuery
And HTML code for the input TextBox
Note: Here you have to set CssClass properties to "email" to validate Email Format other wise it will not validate email format.
Below is Script to validate URL of website using JQuery
and the HTML code for the input Textbox for the URL
Note: Here you have to set CssClass properties to "url" to validate URL Format other wise it will not validate URL format.
Now if you have Master page and than another webpage which consume master page than just add the reference of the script inside Head tag and in a webpage say you have Registar.aspx than go to registar.aspx page and inside the content Tag you can Write your script tag this is the only difference of implementation of JQuery Validation for with and without master page for eg
To Decorate error message generated by Jquey you can use css like this and you can add this your custom css file you inside Head Tag
jQuery Plug in is tested on IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and most other popular browser.
Hope this will help all to understand JQuery Validation in your asp.net web page.
If you run the sample project attached below and run it you will see JQuery validation result like this
You can download the sample code used in above example.

I find it incredibly ironic that I literally cooked and cleaned for days and I have not a single photograph to document the work. So for lack of anything else to offer up, I am going to share the menu and maybe a recipe or two. Depends on how many interruptions I get trying to type this all up. The kids are home from school, after all.
12/3 update: I have grabbed some photos that my friend took. Hopefully they will translate well to this site. Who knows…
Appetizers: We had a cheese plate with a bleu (a light flavored one, as my husband balks at the stronger bleus), a Manchego, aged Gouda, brie, and another that I am completely forgetting right now. I also had water crackers and quince paste. My husband bought a truffled pate that was very popular. I honestly didn't love it. Maybe I am a hotdog pie gal after all…
We also had a crudités plate with an onion confit spread that I made from the confit my husband made earlier. It was very yummy.
Turkey: Of course. This was a locally raised, heirloom bird. We ended up with a bird that was just shy of 16 pounds. It was huge! I really noticed just how huge every 30 minutes when I had to remove it from the oven for basting. BLAH. Backbreaking is the word that comes to mind. I had saved some duck fat that I had rendered earlier just for this occasion. We had already slathered the bird with the compound butter (chives, parsley and thyme) I had made, including under the skin. It was a beautiful, tasty bird. Worth all the visits I will need to the chiropractor.
Roasted Root Vegetables: I used Brussels sprouts, red and yellow beets, a bulb of fennel, one large shallot and a couple of carrots. I tossed them in olive oil and liberally salted and peppered them and then gave them a good drizzle of balsamic vinegar before roasting for 45 minutes. These were delish!
Salad: We had one vegetarian among us, so she brought a salad to hedge her bets on having enough to eat – LOL! This was a refreshingly light addition to the menu. She used mixed greens and added to them candied almonds, fresh chanterelle mushrooms and dried cherries. All topped with an orange-champagne vinaigrette. My middle child ate nothing but salad. I am not exaggerating. He didn't even touch his plate and ate 5 helpings of salad. Glad she brought it!
Turnip and Collard Greens: These were made by my husband for the first time yesterday. They were spicy and they totally rocked! They had bacon and ham base (I had never even heard of this before), along with onions, red pepper flakes, horseradish and wasabi paste. I LOVED them. We will definitely make these again. These would be so yummy with a pulled pork sandwich. I am drooling just thinking about it!
Cranberry Compote: These were very popular. I love cranberries and will even eat the gelatinous rounds out of a can, but I can honestly say that these were spectacular! They had apricots and star anise in them. YUM!
Mashed Potatoes with Celeriac: I liked these a lot. They were just different enough from straight up mashed potatoes. I also used some of the compound butter in them. Again, very tasty.
Rolls: I totally cheated on this, as I knew I just wouldn't have the time to get them made from scratch myself. I bought a basic roll and then one with rosemary. Both made tasty little sandwiches today. I love that about Thanksgiving leftovers!
Drinks: I made a holiday Sangria that was so delicious that I was afraid I was likely to find myself lying on the floor later if I kept drinking it. It was "adult cool-aid"! I kid you not. I could have easily sucked down a dozen of these, no problem. We had a stocked bar, but outside of a few beers, most people drank the Sangria.
Dessert: I made a cheesecake with a gingersnap crust. This was topped with black cherry preserves. The crust came out like a brick, but otherwise tasted pretty good. They brought a couple of pumpkin pies, which were the perfect ending to the meal.
Overall, I was very thankful for the lovely meal, shared with my wonderful family and friends. I am very lucky indeed.

Even if you leave your child to do things on their own, the smartphone safety net is with them. When we were on our own, the nearest payphone might have been several blocks away. So you needed to think for yourself, you could not check on Facebook for the latest blither from someone else. Our children do not have much exposure to "unspecified risk"; not danger, but the risk of making a poor choice. Like bringing home the wrong dish soap, or laundry detergent because you forgot to write it down and had to make a choice or come home without it. Then as a reminder, you had to walk back and get the right one. After a couple of times, you learned to be certain what you were shopping for. It is this lack of "unspecified risk" that prevents our kids from learning how to think on their feet and make "good choices" on their own! By trial and error. We survived, why won't they. But try to take their technology away, and you would think they were losing an eye!

Self reliance is liberating.
I love this analogy that occurs in nature.
When a butterfly is about to emerge from its cocoon, it undergoes a fight for life with the cocoon that protected them while developing. The fight strengthens their wings. If one were to cut open the cocoon to "help" the butterfly it will emerge but not be able to fly.

The authors are conflating different contemporary social phenomena in a way that weakens their argument. People of color talking about the microacressions they experience in our society has nothing to do with resilience or being left to handle enough conflict as children. Allowing children freedom has nothing to do with college students being permitted to wear offensive costumes, as Erika Christakis misleadingly frames it. The cause of giving children more autonomy does not need to get conflated with racism and white fragility.

Besides the

statement just introduced, Python knows the usual control flow statements known from other languages, with some twists.
Perhaps the most well-known statement type is the
statement. For example:
There can be zero or more

parts, and the Huge Surprise Cheap Sale Pictures Sonia Rykiel Woman Offtheshoulder Ruffled Silkgeorgette Blouse Black Size 34 Sonia Rykiel Where To Buy Low Price For Cheap Price y8QvAMEA5
part is optional. The keyword ' Black Retro Logo Lounge Pants Fendi Cheap 2018 ZB5spdkd
' is short for 'else if', and is useful to avoid excessive indentation. An
… sequence is a substitute for the
statements found in other languages.
statement in Python differs a bit from what you may be used to in C or Pascal. Rather than always iterating over an arithmetic progression of numbers (like in Pascal), or giving the user the ability to define both the iteration step and halting condition (as C), Python's
statement iterates over the items of any sequence (a list or a string), in the order that they appear in the sequence. For example (no pun intended):
If you need to modify the sequence you are iterating over while inside the loop (for example to duplicate selected items), it is recommended that you first make a copy. Iterating over a sequence does not implicitly make a copy. The slice notation makes this especially convenient:
, the example would attempt to create an infinite list, inserting
over and over again.
If you do need to iterate over a sequence of numbers, the built-in function
comes in handy. It generates arithmetic progressions:
The given end point is never part of the generated sequence;
generates 10 values, the legal indices for items of a sequence of length 10. It is possible to let the range start at another number, or to specify a different increment (even negative; sometimes this is called the 'step'):
This article might be more relevant for Angular 2 developers, but I believe it can be used with other frameworks as well. It's just a handbook for writing scalable and maintainable single-page-applications. It's important to note, that this is not the only way, but it's a way that works for me in quite a few situations.
A lot of developers are having trouble writing large-scale, maintainable single-page-applications. This results in early technical debt, a lot of frustration when fixing bugs, an eternal struggle when writing unit tests and creating reusable chunks of code…
One of the biggest challenges might be: extending existing logic and writing new features based on a tricky foundation.
Single-page-applications are rather new, and especially older frameworks gave you 100 different ways to design an application. There wasn't any structure, encapsulation and everything was tightly coupled to each other.
Most of the time in the beginning of a project the development process went blazingly fast. But after a few developers, features, refactors, the code started to become less maintainable. It started to look like spaghetti. Frameworks have matured a lot, but it's also important that the architecture of the software you write matures along with the process.
To explain the architecture where this article is all about, here's a reminder of how a web-application in 2016 might look like. These are concepts that your applications should rely on these days. It doesn't matter whether using React , Angular 2 or something else. These principles exist to make sure that your web architecture becomes maintainable.
SPA-technologies like React and Angular2 make us use components. A component is a piece of HTML and JavaScript combined. We don't want to use standalone views or standalone controllers anymore. They can grow exponentially and are related to each other in a way that is hard to maintain.
So basically the philosophy here is: everything should be a component , even your pages and your application. An application could look like this:everything should be a component
Some very simple but very important tips in designing components:
If you are new to designing components, this article might be of help:
Pay With Visa Online Sale Online Julian Dress in Pink size L also in MSXS Lovers Friends E55VJEifw
Note: Smart components are also called structural components, containers or stateful components
Before, we used to update application state in a rather inefficient manner:
Did you ever tried to make sibling components communicate with each other? Sometimes it seems pragmatic to do so, but please don't.
This is bad design! It's almost impossible to see in which direction the data flows. I's also very hard to maintain this code, fix bugs in it or develop features. What we do want, is a unidirectional dataflow like or Redux .
Although you can't import models at the module-level where
Jeans On Sale in Outlet Old Rose Cotton 2017 31 34 Burberry Free Shipping Best Wholesale Quality GRg9LE6cCM
classes are defined, you can import them in
, using either an

Mens Loungeset CrewNeck Pyjama Sets Marc OPolo 2018 Cheap Price Manchester Buy Cheap Hot Sale Online Shop From China Shop Offer xVnagevGl
If you're registering
, you can refer to the sender by its string label instead of using the model class itself.
Although you can access model classes as described above, avoid interacting with the database in your
implementation. This includes model methods that execute queries (
Printed Mesh Tea Dress With Frill And Rib Multi Asos Free Shipping Low Cost Outlet Footaction Discount Enjoy Sale Best Seller zV6XU5
, , manager methods etc.), and also raw SQL queries via . Your method will run during startup of every management command. For example, even though the test database configuration is separate from the production settings, would still execute some queries against your production database!
In the usual initialization process, the method is only called once by Django. But in some corner cases, particularly in tests which are fiddling with installed applications, might be called more than once. In that case, either write idempotent methods, or put a flag on your classes to prevent re-running code which should be executed exactly one time.
Python packages without an file are known as "namespace packages" and may be spread across multiple directories at different locations on (see PEP 420 ).
Django applications require a single base filesystem path where Django (depending on configuration) will search for templates, static assets, etc. Thus, namespace packages may only be Django applications if one of the following is true:

Creating curriculum projects in collaboration with teachers is something I thoroughly enjoy. Developing a project that enhances the learning experience while allowing students and teachers to develop technology and information literacy skills is very exciting. It meshes my first love, library information skills, with my second love, technology, in a perfect pairing!
Before moving to back to my childhood home of western Massachusetts, I worked in the research library at McLean Hospital in Belmont while obtaining my master's degree in library and information science from Simmons College. After obtaining my master's, I held positions as the Municipal Bonds Librarian for Putnam Investments, the Library Manager for Bose Corporation where I helped develop the company's original intranet, and as the Library Media Specialist/Technology Coordinator for Leverett Elementary School before moving into my current position as Technology Teacher / Technology Coordinator.
My family resides in Leverett and my two sons were both educated at Leverett Elementary School.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has hit back at reporters in Italy for questioning the inclusion of Brazilian-born Diego Costa in his squad ahead of Wednesday's friendly between the two nations.
The striker is set to make his first appearance for la Roja at the Santiago Bernabeu since making his decision to represent the current world and European champions rather than the country of his birth, Brazil.
That move has provoked much debate and after the Italian media quizzed Del Bosque over the striker's call-up, the 63-year-old hit back by accusing the Azzurri of hypocrisy for their selection of Argentina-born Dani Osvaldo.
He told reporters: "Italy play [Pablo] Osvaldo, right? Was he born in Italy? The argument has passed. Costa is eligible to play for us, legally and technically.
"He's playing well with Atletico Madrid, is a striker who can compete with all the other strikers at our disposal and also has different characteristics from the others."
Del Bosque then discussed the prospect of facing Mario Balotelli and admitted the AC Milan star possesses some considerable attributes that could cause Spain problems.
"He is a unique player, capable of anything and everything," he added. "He is a great player who has a vast array of qualities - goals, strength, speed, shooting. If he wants to be, he can become one of the best strikers in the world."
Juan Mata, Fernando Torres and Fernando Llorente are three high-profile absentees from Spain's squad, with Del Bosque admitting he has some difficult selection decisions to make ahead of the World Cup.
"Juventus were expecting a call for Llorente, but then some might be wondering at Chelsea why Torres isn't with us. The same goes for Tottenham and [Roberto] Soldado, or [David] Villa at Atletico Madrid.
"For Llorente it is important that he has already exceeded anything he did last season with Bilbao, he has continuity at Juventus and he and the club are happy. He knows we appreciate him."

SUFFERN, N.Y. -- Happy Birthday to Suffern's Tim Daly.
Daly, an actor, who plays the husband of the secretary of state, in the CBS drama "Madam Secretary," turns 61 on Wednesday.
He was born in Suffern on March 1, 1956.
Daly was raised in a performing household by his father, James Daly, an actor who was a regular on "Medical Center" and his mother, Hope Daly, also an actress. Adding to his later desire to follow in his parent's footsteps was his sister, Tyne Daly, of "Cagney & Lacey" fame, who was 10 years his senior.
Upon graduation from college in Vermont, Daly spent a couple of seasons at the Trinity Square Repertory in Providence, R.I., where he met his wife, actress Amy Von Nostrand. The two married in 1982, which happened to be the same year Daly made his feature debut in "Diner."
Daly had his first big burst of fame with "Wings" which ran on NBC from 1990-97. During his eight-season run on "Wings," Daly had better luck with small screen movies, including as cult leader David Koresh in "In the Line of Duty: Ambush in Waco" and as a death-row convict in the drama "Witness to the Execution." He had a major role in the ABC drama, "The Practice."

It's no secret that January and February are some of the slowest months for ticket sales. During the fall and winter NFL Tickets and College football tickets sales surge but with both seasons over, there is a large void in the ticket market. NBA, NHL, and NCAA (basketball) seasons are in full swing but demand for regular season tickets is generally low and the playoff and March Madness are still a long ways away. This is also the time of year that many concert performers take a break and gear up for their summer tours. Although this is the time of year that many of these highly anticipated tickets go on sale, conversion are usually greatest as the event date nears. So with that in mind, what are the top upcoming events for February 2010?
2010 San Antonio Rodeo (February 4 th to February 20th) – ATT Center
The 2010 San Antonio Rodeo will feature some of the hottest pop and coutry artists performing live at the ATT Center in San Antonio. The 2010 Lineup includes notable recording artists such as Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw, Selena Gomez, Foreigner, Rodney Atkins, Dierks Bentley, Trace Adkins, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Gary Allan, and many more. Free Ticket Classifieds already has some great tickets available to many of these show in our Texas Concert Ticket Classifieds.
Super Bowl XLIV (February 7th, 2010) – Sun Life Stadium, Miami, Florida
What list of top events in February would be complete without the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl is perhaps the biggest event in the world and these tickets are in high demand. With the high demand comes a large tickets price – face value tickets start at $900+. While Super Bowl tickets are not likely to sell at large volumes, the high point price makes selling Super Bowl tickets highly profitable.
NBA All Star Game (February 14, 2010) – Dallas Cowboys Stadium
Of all the major sports All Star events, the NBA version is perhaps the most in-demand and anticipated events. This year the NBA All Star Game will be held at the new Dallas Cowboys Satdium and all 85,000+ tickets have already been sold. The large amount of tickets available and large demand should mean that a large volume of tickets will be sold to the All Star game itself, as well as, the NBA All Star Rookie Challenge and NBA All Star Saturday events. The NBA All Star Saturday will feature the Shooting Stars competition, the Skills Challenge, the Three-point shootout, and the Slam Dunk contest.
Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games (February 12 th to February 28th)
While Free Ticket Classifieds primarily features tickets from events in the United States, the 2010 Winter Games will be held just over the border in Vancouver Canada. That means lots of people from the US will head north to see Olympians battle for the gold in many popular events. Some of the most popular events include Mens Ice Hockey, Snowboarding, Skiing, and figure skating. Also extremely popular are the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. To Post or view Winter Games ads check out our Winter Games Ticket Classifieds.
John Mayer – Tour Begins February 4, 2010 in Sunrise Florida
John Mayer's high anticipated tour will kickoff in early February as he travels through Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Canada, and winds down the month with big stops in Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York. Look for John Mayer tickets to fly off the shelves as each date approaches throughout February.
Black Eyed Peas – 15 February show begining February 4, 2010
Like John Mayer, like Black Eyed Peas will kickoff their 2010 tour in February fresh off several Grammy Awards. Fergie and crew will begin the tour with a sold out show in Atlanta. February will also feature shows in popular cities such as Miami, Tampa, Nashville, Columbus, Raleigh, Charlotte, Washington DC, New York, and Boston. This tour should sell strong throughout the month.

Catalytic Parking: Creating new possibilities in an integrated suburban parking garage
Maienschein-Cline, Leslie
MetadataShow full item record
Parking garages are ubiquitous and indispensable to modern suburban life, yet they are one of the most unpopular and criticized building types. Though important places of arrival and departure, movement and transition, parking garage design is typically the result of a depressingly pragmatic adherence to functional efficiency. A critique of this status quo, this thesis proposes treating parking as a catalyst for innovative suburban development. By leveraging the scale of parking garages, their role as places of arrival and departure, and striving to integrate rather than separate parking from its context, this thesis seeks to create a new suburban typology.

Why Marriage Is a Bad Idea
A Bangalore-based novelist makes a case for singlehood.
Relax, ladies. I'm not getting married anytime soon. I'm still single.
I was having a very interesting conversation with my business partner the other day in KFC over Zingers, Fries, Coke and Mojitos. We discussed business for about 20 seconds and the remainder of our "meeting" we spent in discussing the pros and cons of marriage. We studied and grew up together, along with a few other weirdoes, and now when we looked back, most of those weirdoes are either married or engaged to someone. We wondered if we were in the process of missing the wedding bus, figuratively speaking, and realised that we are not.
Nowadays, I don't think it's a wise idea to get married. There are so many things that can go wrong and so many people that can get killed, that it's definitely not a good idea. Let me tick the reasons off one by one.
1. Show Me The Money: Women these days are not marrying for love. No sir. Gone are the days where women would fall for a guy head over heels and say, "I'll be with you through thick and thin. I don't care if we are poor, we'll have each other." Laughable thought, isn't it? Men need to submit a resume, a statement of purpose, financial statements and visa status to the potential in-laws before getting shortlisted for a stress-test interview. If he passes these levels, then he gets to meet the girl and woo her. If she doesn't like him, then the whole exercise would have been in vain.
2. Show Me A Good Time: A qualifying criteria for a man to be given the green light for marriage these days is his idea of a "good honeymoon". If he is planning to take her abroad, then he's suitable. If he says Ooty, Kerala or Darjeeling, then he can go there himself, thank you very much.
3. Flexible Auspicious Times: More often than not, the booking of a marriage hall becomes more a pragmatic thing than anything. These days, marriage halls in the country follow the 12-noon check-in and check-out times, and it becomes impossible for people to get an auspicious time to tie the knot in the evenings. Palms are greased and pundits are coerced into finding a right time in accordance with the marriage hall timings. If you're a pundit/astrologer, then your reputation depends on your ability to provide flexible timings.
4. The Ex-Factor: Men and women are required to completely disassociate themselves from their ex-lovers. If, for any reason, men or women are found fraternizing with their ex-es in the run-up to the wedding, then the whole thing has a high probability of ending up in someone's death.
These and a lot of other factors (which are for the over-18s and which I can't mention here for the benefit of those readers who aren't mature enough), contribute to a highly volatile situation where people are not advised to get married. If you're lucky enough to find a girl who's got no hang-ups about a live-in, then go for it. Or else, make sure you have a gravesite marked out for you before you enter wedlock.
All the best.

Nesom, Guy L. in Flora of North America, Vol 21 Liatris p. 512 Oxford University Press, Inc.; New York, NY, 2006
"Liatris grow from round or oval, woody corms, each of which develops several flowering stems. Numerous, narrow leaves grow alternately on the stem, becoming shorter and thinner near the flower spike. The flower heads grow in several rows along the stem to form a wand-like spike up to 15 inches in height. The flowers on the spikes open from the top downward (basipetally). One variety, L. aspera, flowers from the bottom up. The purple varieties are in greatest demand, though there is also interest in the rose-red and white varieties."

Stevens, Allan B. et.al. in Commercial Specialty Cut Flower production. Liatris. Cooperative Extention Service Kansas State University. Manhattan, Kansas oct 1993. Publication
"One of the reasons liatris are such popular cut flowers is their unusual mode of blooming. Unlike most plants they bloom from the top of their flower spikes down to the bottom. You can actually cut a portion off the top of the spike to bring indoors, and the remaining flower heads will continue to open and provide color for the landscape."
University of Florida IFAS Extension
"The abundance of fragrant flower produced by the liatris attracts a variety of wildlife all season. The summer blooms attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. In the fall, the liatris produces a seed pod (if the blooms are left intact on the plant) that attracts a wide array of hungry birds looking for a meal."

This little beast can take you from clean to scream at a twist of its Gain, or a turn of your guitars volume knob.
Demo of the 7 knob version:
Here's a collection of vero (stripboard) and tagboard guitar and bass effect layouts that we have put together covering many classic and popular effects in growing numbers. Many of these have been posted on freestompboxes.org, so check that site out for great discussions on building your own effect pedals. Enjoy the builds and please also visit us on Facebook and Twitter
Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
You're welcomeDelete
See you soon here and on FSB.org ;)ReplyDelete
I'll be doing this very soon, Grounding?
I usually run;
ground from switch (Skreddy) to input jack
ground from volume to output jack
ground from dc to input jack
ground from board to dc
Sounding ok? so where would you send the second ground wire from board on this layout?
All the grounds need connecting together, so you could take one of the board grounds to the input sleeve, the other to the output sleeve, or daisy chain one to the other and then just take one wire to the input sleeve. Basically as long as the grounds are connected together you should be good to do, but make sure you don't create a loop somewhere that could create a lot of noise.Delete
Jezz this is the one thing that IS simple but frustrates me lol...
So could I take ALL ground wires to one point?
Yes all to one point in a star formation is fine, you could use the empty holes on the bottom row of the vero and have everything going there. Or daisy chain in one long line from one to the next. Just avoid anything that could end up like this:
Would I get away with a 20k log for mids? I have some 22k linear but I ordered loads of A20k's I want to use up.ReplyDelete
You can use use any taper and it will work exactly the same at the minimum and maxmum settings, but it may not be quite as useful through the entire sweep. Having said that it also has the potential to be more useful depending on where you usually have the mids pot set. If your usual setting of a linear pot is half way, then that would probably be an 80% clockwise rotation of a log pot. That means you have more fine tuning resolution in the scooped to flat mids setting. If you usually have mids boosted slightly, then the log pot would be less useful and a reverse log would give you the greater fine tuning resolution from flat to boosted mids settings.Delete
I have to ask, where are you getting such odd values 20k and 22k??? I've sometimes looked for these and cant find them, but plenty of 25ks.Delete
Hi, is this layout verified? I've built this pedal, the signal passes through the circuit, the EQ is OK, but there's no gain... I've the same voltages of the original one, except for Q6 drain, which is 7,5V instead of 5,4V... The stripboard is OK (cut traces, value of components, wiring, etc...)
Could I solve with a trimpot to bias correctly or not?
It's not verified yet, but it sounds like you're not too far away if you're getting output and your voltages look mostly good. A couple of other people are building it so see what results they get and we can look into it further.Delete
I'm getting all sorts of squeaks, whistles and buzzes when adjusting the Gain,level and master...with everything on 12, it sounds ok but over that introduces noises etc.ReplyDelete
Also, the gain doesn't seem to make a significant difference from 0 to max.. Anyway, To me it doesn't sound great anyway so I've gutted it.. I need to find a another 6 knobber to fit my enclosure now lolDelete
The zero-gain is a common problem... Vince, could you post your transistors voltages?ReplyDelete
Carlo, can you post a front and back pic. Just been over the layout again and can't see any deviation from the schematic, so I'll have a look to see if anything jumps out at me.Delete
The gain control in this is a simple voltage divider, like a volume control but at the beginning of the circuit after the input buffer. So in the fully clockwise position it's letting the entire signal through and as you move counter clockwise it puts more resistance in the way, and eventually dumps the output to ground completely and so should be totally silent in the fully ccw position. It's the same as the gain control in the Distortus Maximus Vince, does that behave in a similar way?ReplyDelete
Hi Carlos, I'm sorry I have binned it so I can't take any info from my attempt.
Hi Mark, My gain was acting in the way you described but it wasn't silent at full anticlockwise. I think even if mine had 'worked' I would have recycled it as it sounded really harsh.
If it wasn't silent at full counter clockwise then the pot was either damaged or it wasn't grounded properly, which could have accounted for the noise. You should give it a bit longer before you bin them mate!Delete
Haha I know I should mate, If it were a nice effect I probably would of as with the Meathead,RAT etc... but it just didn't warrant saving (in my opinion). For 6 knobs it was just so so... I think I'm like that with all pedals to an extent... I've never plugged into anything that sounds as good as one cable straight into an amp..Delete
Would this design accept any other FETs? I find J201s to be horrid to find suitable 3, not to mention 6...
FETs can be more awkward to swap because they may need other tweaks to bias properly, but just try anything with the same pin out. 2N5457, 2N5484, MPF102 etcDelete
In my experience, the 2N5457s have been quite constant when compared to J201s. For three matched J201s i had to go through 30 to find ones that work together. So for six i'd need to get at least 60 :)
I'll try this with 2N5457s at some point.
Verified, populated this fully expecting to spend a good while switching jfets, fired it up and it worked straight of the bat. All controls work as they should including the gain pot. Not quite sounding as it should but i`m confident it will with a bit of fine tuning the j201`s after all i only expected to get a refernce point to start with, drain voltages aint perfect yet so a little tweaking tomorrow should sort things out. Drain voltages at the moment are,
The circuit deffo works so should only be a matter of fine tuning, thanks for another great layout.
Awesome, you hero. Particularly so as Carlo couldn't get his working which made this a brave build (although I have gone over it lots and couldn't see any issues). Thanks for verifying, that's 201! :o)Delete
Looking forward to building this one. Sounds great.
Any plans to do a layout for the Menatone Pig?
Consider socketing the drain or source resistors for all the JFETs, or even better use appropriate value trimmers instead. The bias may well need tweaking and you don't want to have to solder and de-solder resistors.Delete
Can anyone post the drain voltages from the orginal what they are supposed to be? I got all but Q4 and Q6 to be in the usual 4.5-5V range, but those two are hovering around 7-8V.ReplyDelete
Built this (again). First with all trimmers and it sounded ok but looked horrific with all trimmers bent everywhere etc so I removed them all and replaced them with the resistors in the layout and it sounded terrible. I'd definitely recommend using sockets or trimmers. After all afternoon messing with it I gave up and binned it. Shame as it has the potential to sound excellent. I just haven't got the patience unfortunately.ReplyDelete
I was wondering, are q4 and q5 biased separately? One of them seems to be biased by the 15k resistor but is the other one biased at all and if so, by which resistor? Or is something happening by the gate of the one fet going into the drain of the other?
Hello , here is what I found about biasing of the bunch of J201 transistors inside this pedal , values are around transistors symbols :http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.fr/2008/11/menatone-king-of-britons.html
Hello, in my research on the subject of J201 bias, your meter should read as follows:
Type Loc° Resis. Drain Gate
J201 Q01 22K 4,24 v 0,33 v
J201 Q02 22K 5,23 v 0,30 v
J201 Q03 15K 5,46 v 0,24 v
J201 Q04 0K0 9,00 v 6,15 v
J201 Q05 15K 3,87 v 2,26 v
J201 Q06 3K9 5,38 v 0,17 v
