|POWER SUPPLY UNIT HAVING CONFIGURABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGES - As a result of a path being connected to an input terminal to allow a first intermediate voltage from a power-side regulator or another external source that does not pass through the power-side regulator to be selectively inputted into any supply-side regulator, a supply voltage can be generated based on the inputted voltage. Therefore, as a result of the relevant supply-side regulator being connected to a path by which the other external source is inputted, a supply voltage having a voltage value differing from that when the first intermediate voltage is inputted can be generated. As a result of the voltage inputted into the supply-side regulator being changed, only the voltage value of the supply voltage generated by the supply-side regulator is changed. Therefore, the variation of the voltage value of the supply voltage that can be provided by a power supply unit can be changed.

Skip to comments.Eagles Nest key in parks transformation.
Posted on 10/09/2012 2:18:01 PM PDT by SandRat
SIERRA VISTA An effort to build a small park in remembrance of one of a local neighborhoods most dedicated citizens has been aided by many facets of the community, but one young mans contribution received a special acknowledgement.
The largest detention basin in McFadden Park will always be known to those close to the project as the Eagles Nest. The name recognizes the work of 16-year-old Colton James who recruited volunteers, coordinated their work and got his own hands dirty during a grant-funded green infrastructure workshop at the park in May as he pursued the scouts highest rank.
On Sunday, James received his Eagle Scout Award but that doesnt mean his work with the scouts is finished, he said. James plans on earning Eagle Palms with continued activity in the scouts and even hopes to be a scout leader one day.
James thinks being a scout nurtures a lot of positive traits, namely those listed in the scouts law, which states a scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
Everything you do in scouting exemplifies one, some or all of these things and theyre qualities I want to continue to have as a I grow older, James said.
Those traits undoubtedly helped him make a positive impression on members of the Southwest Sierra Vista Residents Association as he worked to help them honor Ken Mac McFadden by creating a park he had once envisioned.
The involvement of James was one indication of how the community has responded to the project, which is really encouraging to the association members, said Rosie Mackey, chair of its park committee.
He was an absolute pleasure, Mackey said. They are able to continue work on the park because of people like James.
Mackey was planning to attend Jamess Eagle Scout ceremony on Sunday, she said last week. He reached out to us, so were going to reach out to him.
Since the city partnered with the Watershed Management Group to host the green infrastructure workshop, the park has also been improved by the donation of three benches from the Sierra Vista West Rotary Club, Mackey said. Now, after raising about $10,000 in 2011, the association is working toward getting a ramada in the park.
They currently have about $4,000 to $5,000 and will need more to get a ramada, which is the most expensive bit of their park improvement plan, Mackey said. Still, in the two years since they started, the project has come a long way.
Its amazing how many different people have contributed and encouraged us in every kind of way, she said.
James said he is grateful to those that helped him become part of the 5 percent of scouts who reach the rank of Eagle Scout. He also did it a year earlier than the average Eagle Scout does.
He feels a big sense of accomplishment, especially in learning how to lead better, James said.
I think I learned a lot in the way of dealing with change and just helped me learn a lot more responsibility, he said. A few of the 10 volunteers he recruited from his church didnt show up, so James had to rearrange the groups on the fly.
Since the volunteers were his friends he knew what they were best at, James said. Overall the project went smoothly and the work was done in about 6 hours.
Some moments were frustrating but my friends were there and many hands make a light work, James said.
Scout Ping
A bit less fancy than the "Eagle's Nest" at Berchtesgaden.
My son is an Eagle, and his son will receive his next month. Every Eagle project affects the community, some more than others, and we should all be cognizant of the long lasting effect scouting has on our country.
Congratulations to your son. My oldest is meeting with a landscape architect tomorrow night to go over some designs and is getting ready to start the approval process. My other just earned First Class.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Dreams of careers in science are a little more in reach for six Oregon State University students receiving scholarships through the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Multicultural Scholars Program.
The scholarships provide recipients with up to four years of tuition and a paid internship and/or research experience.
The Multicultural Scholars Program is designed to increase the number of students from traditionally underrepresented groups in the food and agricultural sciences. All of the OSU scholars will work toward bachelor's degrees in bioresource research, an interdisciplinary sciences program with an emphasis on mentored research. Students in the program may choose from 13 different study options, focusing on topics from water resources to toxicology.
The new MSP scholars are:
• Cynthia Le of Hillsboro
• Jorge Lopez-Contreras of Eugene
• Charlie Ta of Portland
• James Thomas of Corvallis
• Elyssa Trejo of College Station, Texas
• Jose Solis-Ruiz of Forest Grove
"The USDA Multicultural Scholars Program grant enables students from underrepresented minority groups to not only have scholarships to attend college, but also provides them the opportunity to enhance their educational experiences at Oregon State University through involvement in our outstanding Bioresource Research major," said Sonny Ramaswamy, dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences.
"The major offers a 'high touch, high impact' opportunity of mentored research experiential learning to the students," he added.
Most of the students involved in the Multicultural Scholars Program are the first in their family to attend college, said bioresource research adviser Wanda Crannell.
"Through this program we can increase their ability to graduate and help prepare them for employment opportunities in areas with shortages," Crannell said. "To improve retention and graduation rates, it's imperative that first generation college students have additional support, whether that's in terms of scholarship assistance, social belonging, or professional development."
Students are already getting started on their studies with summer internships. Sophomore Charlie Ta, working under the guidance of OSU professor and USDA researcher Inga Zasada, is developing a technique to detect viruses in nematodes, or roundworms. Zasada said the work has an economic impact because the nematodes can pass viruses to small fruits.
The MSP students will also participate in the OSU chapter of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS).
Crannell said the Bioresource Research program has an excellent track record of sending students on to advanced opportunities.
"Within three years, more than 60 percent of the graduates have gone on to graduate school," she said. "Generally, graduates seeking placement have found it in either graduate programs or jobs, typically within three months of graduating."
A similar group of MSP students received funding beginning fall 2009. Five of the six are still enrolled at OSU; one out-of-state student, returned home to continue her education and a replacement scholar was named. All of the 2009 MSP scholars have completed internships, attended national MANRRS conferences and serve as regional or chapter MANRRS officers.

Does Uranus Have Moons?
Uranus DOES have moons.
More Info: Uranus has 27 known moons, some of which were discovered as recently as 1986 when the Voyager II spacecraft reached the planetary system. While most moons are named after figures from Greek and Roman mythology, Uranus' moons are named after characters that appear in Shakespeare's plays. The satellites are divided into two groups: the five major moons and the numerous smaller moons.
The Major Moons
The major moons of Uranus are Oberon, Titania, Ariel, Umberon, and Miranda. These are the largest of the satellites, and the most easily seen from earth. They all appear to be made up of about half ice and about half rock. Titania and Oberon were discovered in 1787 by William Herschel. Oberon is very old and has many craters, while Titania is quite smooth and reflective. Ariel and Umbriel were discovered in 1851– Ariel is the youngest moon of Uranus, while Umbriel is very dark, reflecting only about 16% of the light that strikes it. Miranda was the last of the major moons to be discovered and was unknown until 1948. Its unique surface is pitted with many canyons that extend deep into its crust.
The Minor Moons
The minor moons of Uranus were discovered by Voyager II in 1986, and later by the Hubble Telescope. Many of these moons are very tiny, and some have diameters as small as eight miles. Like the major moons, most of these small satellites are composed of half ice and half rock, but a few may actually be captured asteroids. Ophelia and Cordelia, two small, outer moons, are thought to play a role in "shepherding" Uranus' outer rings. Uranus has so many small moons that scientists are still unsure how they can orbit so close to one another without colliding!

Here a new series not the most natural but perhaps not too bad for some illustrations.
They have been taken with a white paper in background. All images have been post processing in Photoshop (cropping, sharpness enhancement, curve adjusting).

Thanks for all the great shots
PS - how do you attach yours??They seem much bigger than I can post
All pics have been cropped, shapness enhanced and curve adjusted with photoshop.
I you want to compare, you'll find below a raw pic only cropped:

2 new flowers taken in their own environment with a blue paper in background. After, the blue color has been simply replaced by the black or the white color in Photoshop.
I don't know the name of the first flower. The second one is of course a tulip at the end of its life.
Aperture priority, 1/250s, f/3.5, center average metering, 16.5mm focal length
Aperture priority, 1/125s, f/4, center average metering, 21.5mm focal length
I hope we're counting tree blossoms. Couldn't resist the pink blossoms against the blue sky...
Canon SD500, f/2.8, 1/636 sec (that's right...)
1/100s, f/3.5, center metering, handheld, not any processing only a framing
Nice shot Jeff. Here's another one, I think its a Rose of Sharon but I definitely could be wrong. EXIF- 1/200 @ f/2.8 Comments welcome...

Story highlights
- Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta named best player of Euro 2012
- Iniesta is one of 10 Spain players in 23-man squad named by UEFA
- UEFA president hails tournament in Poland and Ukraine as big success
- Sunday's final registered a record amount of tweets for a sporting event
Andres Iniesta did not feature in the contenders for the best player of the 2010 World Cup despite scoring Spain's winning goal in the final, but the midfielder has been recognized for his country's historic triumph at Euro 2012.
The 28-year-old Barcelona star is one of 10 Spanish players in UEFA's 23-man squad, which features four from losing finalists Italy.
Iniesta, clubmates Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Buesquets plus Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso were included in a nine-strong midfield contingent, while David Silva and Cesc Fabregas were named among five forwards despite playing in Spain's so-called "no striker" formation.
The Spaniards completely nullified Italy's midfield general Andrea Pirlo in Sunday's final, winning 4-0 in Kiev to clinch a third successive major title.
Iniesta did not score and had just one assist, but was rewarded for his overall contribution to the merciless Spanish passing machine. At the 2010 World Cup, David Villa was Spain's only entry in the top three as Uruguay's Diego Forlan was named best player.
"Pirlo was magnificent and obviously circumstances didn't help him in the final," UEFA technical director Andy Roxburgh said.

has been cleared of all wrongdoing.
One of the wonderful bits:
A SWAT officer, Sgt. Bob Krygier, told officials of the sheriff's office who investigated the incident that the raid on Guerena's home was probing "possible drug running, home invasions and potential homicides."
He said "many guns" were found in the house, including the AR-15 that Guerena was holding, another rifle and a handgun. Body armor and a U.S. Border Patrol hat also were found, he said.
"He was well-armed, well armored," Krygier said.
But when asked if Guerena was wearing body armor at the time of his death, he said, "No. ... He basically had a pair of boxer briefs on and that was it."
"He had GUNS! He had BODY ARMOR!! Well, except for being in his underwear, but HE HAD IT!!!"
These miserable fuckers have already admitted they found NOTHING illegal in the house, so they keep throwing crap like this out.

My not very creative space!
7 comments:
Hi JillReplyDelete
Well I think It is an improvement for sure, I actually really like that fabric. But I agree, a splash of colour is definitely needed. This muted colour really lends itself to some sort of bright trim.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I hope your parents are enjoying their stay so far.
Michelle :o)
I like the makeover Jill! It just needs a couple of extra throw pillows in a contrasting colour and texture to finish it off. Great recycling project.ReplyDelete
I like the fabric too. However I immediately thought "RELAX!" So you could applique one letter and exclaimation mark onto each cushion. Just the right number of cushions!ReplyDelete
I agree with everyone...the fabric looks wonderful and as you said a splash of colour would just finish it. I like Truidi's idea too.ReplyDelete
Yep...just add some bright colors and all will be well!!ReplyDelete
You could always paint them with a wash of textile paint to add some more color. They look comfortable to me.ReplyDelete
Hi jillReplyDelete
nice tutorial thank you

It's been a week since DC Universe Online launched -- you may have heard about it. It's an increasingly common practice of MMO gamers these days to avoid buying and subscribing to a game right out of the gate. More often, players sit back to see how things proceed after launch before committing their money.
If you're one of those players, how would you like to see how it's going free of charge, courtesy of Massively? We've got a box copy of DC Universe Online earmarked for one lucky reader! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment here telling us what sort of superhero you'd make in DCUO. Enter by Friday the 21st at 11:59 p.m. EST, then we'll draw a winner and mail him or her a brand-new game.
As always, check out our contest rules, and best of luck!

ROLLBACK TRANSACTION (Transact-SQL)
Rolls back an explicit or implicit transaction to the beginning of the transaction, or to a savepoint inside the transaction.
ROLLBACK { TRAN | TRANSACTION } [ transaction_name | @tran_name_variable | savepoint_name | @savepoint_variable ] [ ; ]
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION erases all data modifications made from the start of the transaction or to a savepoint. It also frees resources held by the transaction.
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION without a savepoint_name or transaction_name rolls back to the beginning of the transaction. When nesting transactions, this same statement rolls back all inner transactions to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION statement. In both cases, ROLLBACK TRANSACTION decrements the @@TRANCOUNT system function to 0. ROLLBACK TRANSACTION savepoint_name does not decrement @@TRANCOUNT.
A ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement specifying a savepoint_name releases any locks that are acquired beyond the savepoint, with the exception of escalations and conversions. These locks are not released, and they are not converted back to their previous lock mode.
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION cannot reference a savepoint_name in distributed transactions started either explicitly with BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION or escalated from a local transaction.
A transaction cannot be rolled back after a COMMIT TRANSACTION statement is executed.
Within a transaction, duplicate savepoint names are allowed, but a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION using the duplicate savepoint name rolls back only to the most recent SAVE TRANSACTION using that savepoint name.
In stored procedures, ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statements without a savepoint_name or transaction_name roll back all statements to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION. A ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement in a stored procedure that causes @@TRANCOUNT to have a different value when the stored procedure completes than the @@TRANCOUNT value when the stored procedure was called produces an informational message. This message does not affect subsequent processing.
If a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION is issued in a trigger:
All data modifications made to that point in the current transaction are rolled back, including any made by the trigger.
The trigger continues executing any remaining statements after the ROLLBACK statement. If any of these statements modify data, the modifications are not rolled back. No nested triggers are fired by the execution of these remaining statements.
The statements in the batch after the statement that fired the trigger are not executed.
@@TRANCOUNT is incremented by one when entering a trigger, even when in autocommit mode. (The system treats a trigger as an implied nested transaction.)
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statements in stored procedures do not affect subsequent statements in the batch that called the procedure; subsequent statements in the batch are executed. ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statements in triggers terminate the batch containing the statement that fired the trigger; subsequent statements in the batch are not executed.
A ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement does not produce any messages to the user. If warnings are needed in stored procedures or triggers, use the RAISERROR or PRINT statements. RAISERROR is the preferred statement for indicating errors.
The effect of a ROLLBACK on cursors is defined by these three rules:
With CURSOR_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT set ON, ROLLBACK closes, but does not deallocate all open cursors.
With CURSOR_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT set OFF, ROLLBACK does not affect any open synchronous STATIC or INSENSITIVE cursors or asynchronous STATIC cursors that have been fully populated. Open cursors of any other type are closed but not deallocated.
An error that terminates a batch and generates an internal rollback deallocates all cursors that were declared in the batch containing the error statement. All cursors are deallocated regardless of their type or the setting of CURSOR_CLOSE_ON_COMMIT. This includes cursors declared in stored procedures called by the error batch. Cursors declared in a batch before the error batch are subject to rules 1 and 2. A deadlock error is an example of this type of error. A ROLLBACK statement issued in a trigger also automatically generates this type of error.
For a code example demonstrating ROLLBACK TRANSACTION, see Nesting Transactions.
The following example shows the effect of rolling back a named transaction.
USE TempDB; GO CREATE TABLE ValueTable ([value] int) GO DECLARE @TransactionName varchar(20) = 'Transaction1'; --These statements start a named transaction, --insert a two records, and then roll back --the transaction named in the variable --@TransactionName. BEGIN TRAN @TransactionName INSERT INTO ValueTable VALUES(1) INSERT INTO ValueTable VALUES(2) ROLLBACK TRAN @TransactionName INSERT INTO ValueTable VALUES(3) INSERT INTO ValueTable VALUES(4) SELECT * FROM ValueTable DROP TABLE ValueTable --Results --value ------------- --3 --4

text: EuroGamer - CCP has just flicked a very important switch. Today - shortly before this article was published - the Icelandic company's PlayStation 3 shooter Dust 514 entered open beta testing, which for a free-to-play game like this is as good as a soft launch. It's the moment the game's digital doors are thrown open to the public. Although CCP is 15 years old, this is only its second game launch. It's a big day.
