ROTF LMAO!

Why am I thinking you probably have a Snap-On Tools calendar on the 
wall above your mixing board.

And mebbe even an old Rosie the Riveter poster too....  ;)

Detented, from "detent".  According to Wikipedia:

"A detent is a method of dividing a smooth range of movement into one 
or more discrete "steps". The most common example would be that of a 
balance control on a piece of stereo equipment which seems to "click" 
or "snap" into the center position of its rotation, indicating the 
point where the volumes of the left and right channels are equal or 
"balanced" (hence the name )...."

(okay, so I made an adjective up out of a noun/verb -- shoot me.)

I had nothing to do with "Recieved", though, since that typo was in 
the subject line before I got to it.  After 12 years in a podunk 
public school with no budget for anything except drilling us over and 
over in the 'three R's', I can almost always remember the "i before e 
except after c" rule.  :)
