Sterling silver, nice! Great piece of wood also, that's a great overall package with that knife.
Sterling silver, nice! Great piece of wood also, that's a great overall package with that knife.
Thanks guys,
Sterling silver doesn't look very different than nickel silver when polished, but oxidizes more slowly. I actually messed up a block provided by a customer (and a silver spacer, probably $100 of materials), so this is a substitute from my own stash. Honey-brown horn finishes just a shade lighter than black.

Very nice work, Marko, very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Holy smokes, that is a work of art. The handle is exceptional and then that choil on the shig, the way it tapers down to the edge. Amazing knife and equally amazing handle!
Youre handles are getting better, and I didnt belive that was posible!
Looking forward to see pics of the Shig yanagiba you have in WIP.

Cosmic Slop kicks out the black rock jams in Ann Arbor
By Kent Alexander
Published in the MetroTimes: September 14, 2011
Are you hip to the Detroit rock scene? From an outsider's perspective it can amaze, huh?
Having said that, the scene's always been pretty segregated, and you never see too many black faces on local indie or rock show bills, just as it's rare to see many white kids on local rap shows. But, the organizers of the Cosmic Slop Festival, spearheaded by one Deekah Wyatt, aim to put Detroit's black rock scene (yes, Detroit's black rock scene) on a pedestal by kick-starting the area's first annual Afro-rock concert fest.

in before threat
just play more
Hey iam a warrior tank, and i have a problem with my treat on bosses, haven a prob keeping it up.
Cant u make somekind of hightreat hit, when pulling.
have the marco revange/ heroicstrike
in before threat
just play more
I like when the bosses give me lollipops
Got a question? Try here: Evil Empire Guides and here: Tankspot Guides and Articles Library first!
Boss threat is the easiest for a Warrior Tank to generate, primarily due to the huge dose of rage you are getting, unlike on trash where you may get rage starved or suffer from trigger happy dps.
As above look at the guides on the site, look at various tanks specs (eg look at MT's on your server in the higher guilds). Given how much tanking has been dumbed down with the revised standard of gaming and how boosted threat generation is, I'd suspect you need to have a look at your rotation, and possibly your spec to generate the grunt you need.
failing or in addition to that, slap Vigilence on your highest DPS/threat generator to poach 10% of their threat.
Former TBC/LK Tank
Waiting for Dunmail Jnr to sleep to enable online gaming.
In my experience bosses don't give you treats until you kill them.
True Knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Agg's tanking guide
Epic lollipops
There are a couple of things you can do that cause you to lose threat on a boss.
Bad DPS, generally opening up too early.
Bad luck, a few pyro crits from a mage early on, for example
Bad tanking
The second you can't do much about except recover. Taunt it back, intervene, concussion blow-> shield slam -> revenge, whatever it takes to climb back above. This is rare, though, and more a factor of 1 and 3.
Oh, and you must be using something like Omen. If not, you're flying blind.
You rarely pull bosses. At least I don't. I usually charge them. There IS a high threat pull, though... weapon throw. It's pretty nifty, I use it regularly for trash. But it's not about the "pull". You don't have some magic pull that puts you at infinite threat and keeps you there. Use revenge where possible. The glyph helps (you do have the glyph, right, not just the macro?), but I don't have it and I have no problem holding bosses. Shield Slam all the time. HS if your rage is climbing (which it invariably does in boss fights). Vigilance on your top DPS (healers aren't the targets they used to be). Devastate is still useful, but more for the armor debuff than for threat these days. If you're still doing "pull -> devastate -> devastate -> heroic strike -> devastate" as your entire rotation that's why you're losing threat.
Shield Slam and Revenge are your friends. Bind them to your left and right mouse button.
=( left and right mouse button
True Knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Agg's tanking guide
Sorry... that was my way of saying "make them real available and use them a lot". I have a weird sense of humour. Clearly don't ACTUALLY bind them to left and right mouse. That would make the entire game unplayable.
Heroic Throw THEN Charge (with warbringer, but thats why we stayed on the warrior wagon anyway)
Open with a shield slam. There is no attack that can pull aggro off you for the next 5 secs even if you afk that long if the shield slam is a crit. (which can put you at about 13k threat with the heroic throw, the dpsers will need to launch 17k dmg in that 5 seconds, and melee 16k but they will take 2 seconds to position their plump tight butts so its all cool) *this is assuming you are not too undergeared compared to your dps.
Seriously, open with a shield slam, then just hit whichever button that lights up in this order :
Shield Slam > Revenge > Devastate(for the sunders so melees luv you) > Shockwave/Concussion Blow
Once you have 5 sunders, drop devastate for others until you have to refresh the debuff. Use heroic strike whenever you can.
Watch your health and rage, always be prepared to pop last stand and shield wall.
Thread these abilities in for survivability :
Thunder Clap, Shield Block, Demo Shout
Have your taunt handy too, the cd is fast and is vital for some fights (H Gundrak baaad froggy)
Macros are not necessary to tank, but helps save screen property.

My favorite college journalism professor – the late, great Mark Ethridge – once told me that it's not the message that's most important, but rather how the message is delivered.
It's an idea that has been driven home yet again by former North Carolina basketball star Rashad McCants.
In an interview on ESPN's Outside the Lines last week, McCants made some serious allegations concerning his alma mater's ongoing academic scandal and coach Roy Williams' knowledge of the situation.
McCants was never the most sympathetic character ever to come through Chapel Hill, but because his comments helped confirm much of what has been widely reported since 2011, they were certainly worth taking seriously.
That is until Wednesday, when he went back on Outside the Lines to refute criticism from Williams and several of his teammates from the Tar Heels' 2005 national championship team.
McCants had us at hello. Then he kept talking.
And talking
And talking.
By the time he'd revealed his true agenda and was finally cut off by host Andy Katz, who did an admirable job of trying to keep a difficult interview on track, whatever credibility McCants may once have had was gone.
This is not to deny that UNC athletes were steered to "no-show classes" or that other, more egregious academic fraud was not perpetrated. Clearly it was.
The problem is that McCants could care less about academic integrity. If he didn't make that clear enough by showing up in a shirt emblazoned with the slogan "Defend Student Athletes," then he came right out and said it once he finally got around to answering Katz's opening question: Why come forward now?
"There should be some kind of reward for not receiving a proper education," he said defiantly.
In other words, all McCants is concerned about is himself and how he can benefit from the publicity he's generating.
It's hardly a coincidence that McCants' sudden fit of conscience coincided with the start of a trial that will decide whether the NCAA should compensate college athletes both past and present for its use of their linekenesses in television broadcasts, video games and other marketing endeavors.
McCants' NBA career didn't amount to much. Neither did his attempt at acting in and producing on-line "entertainment." This is his opportunity to cash in.
While he's at it, he's apparently decided to try and extract a pound of flesh from a former coach in which both he and his father have been openly critical since his days with the Tar Heels.
McCants accused Williams of fostering a "just shut up and play" culture and called the Hall of Famer a liar for insisting that he knew nothing of the academic shenanigans going on inside his program.
"How are you getting paid millions of dollars to be a college coach? How is it that you are not accountable for what your players do off the floor?" McCants said. "Those are things that need to be asked."
But do they really?
As with almost every other college coach in the country – from the shady extreme of Kentucky's John Calipari to the other end of the spectrum and the famously infallible Mike Krzyzewski of Duke – Williams is able to maintain a plausible deniability in such matters by leaving the academic progress of his players to advisors and assistants.
Even if he has a clear idea of what's actually going on, he can legitimately claim blissful ignorance. And be truthful about it.
If McCants really is serious about righting the wrongs that were done to him and fixing a broken system he said dates all the way back to the days of coaching legend Dean Smith, then he should leave his personal grudges at the door and stick to the facts.
Then he should tell them to investigator Kenneth Wainstein, the former U.S. Justice Department official looking into the UNC scandal, instead of playing to the court of public opinion on national television.
His message is just too important to get lost because of its delivery.
13 Comments
He got a degree plus NBA shot….so what his beef.
As far as Roy……should take the Laket Job as UNC getting to be like a preschool…
His agenda doesn't much matter does it Brett? We get a whole article, and a scant one sentence admission that he has confirmed what we have known for several years now- that UNC has perpetrated the greatest academic fraud in the history of collegiate athletics. Instead of shooting the messenger, how about we highlight the real story here. McCants played on a nation championship team, and according to his own transcript, should have been academically ineligible, if not for the help of fraudulent classes and impermissible grade changes. That should be earth shattering news. Despite his "agenda", his story corroborates that of Willingham, and of the football players that have already come forward. How many more people have to come forward before we concentrate on the real issue? When the next basketball player comes forward, will you continue to try to poke holes in their credibility? And the next one? It's time to get on the right side of history Brett. The flagship is sinking, and you are playing the violin.
To PortCityStateFan: His transcript most definitely did not show that he would be ineligible. Do your homework. If Rashad was a lazy cheater that's on him, not Roy.
As Jalen Rose said in that interview…there are 13 scholarship athletes and 4 coaches…someone on the staff had to know he was failing and advised hime to take the easy classes. When it was a football thing, no one cared. Now that the hoop team is involved it's the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever heard. So is Roy to blame…not directly but he is supposed to be held accountable for his team. The secret UNC code has been breached and all hell is breaking lose and they are questioning McCants' character. Sure he's a clown like Kendall Marshall said but how do you explain the transcripts. Happens at a lot of schools but McCants and Deunta Williams just exposed the squeaky clean Tar Heels. Very interested in what may happen moving forward.
He was never ineligible. How hard is it for y'all to understand that?
Rashad was a stellar student in high school and could have done well at UNC. If he decided to get someone to write his papers for him – and we're taking the word of a crazy person on that – then that's on him. Roy is not a babysitter.
Whether one is a scholarship athlete, non scholarship athlete or just a regular student, these kind of classes have always existed in all colleges and university across the country. It's deemed newsworthy when it involves a prominent University, Athlete or Coach. This is when the the shark feeding frenzy begins. Rashad McCan't is like the "bitter ex", who has been waiting for their opportunity to take a shot. I would venture to guess 70% of all college students have taken some crip or paper course during their college years. The course have always been there every student not just athletes. Now if you have to be guided to take them, then I reckon the media has a point "you are to dumb to be in college". How can you call it cheating, when every college across America has these type of classes. There are a lot of McCant's in every school, from high school up that have cheated their way or chose the easy path to a diploma. The only person being short changed here is the individual. Blame the University, Blame the System, because that is what most people will do. At the end of the day, the real blame my friend is "you" and no one else. Easy paths become difficult roads later in life. McCan't has finally realized that he chose the wrong path, yet he blames others instead of himself. When McCan'ts finally quits pointing fingers, running out of excuses…………. perhaps he'll grow up and realize the University was there to help him. UNC afforded him every opportunity to learn. While there he chose the "easy path", because he felt the NBA was waiting. Now that it's not, he's become the "bitter ex". Time for McCan't to grow up and move on………there is really no news story here.
The reason this type of message works is because the general public is by and large, stupid. In the last 48 hours it is now coming to light that Mr. McCants "may" not have been advised to take the courses in 2005. That little thing called Drop/Add procedure and electronic records now appear to show something far different. UNC can't release the information the way Mary Willingham has, but you may soon see a hypothetical on a blog soon explaining what RM did. It appears he dropped legit classes and added the AFAM without his advisors knowledge!!
The issue is not easy classes.
The issue is not easy classes.
The issue is not easy classes.
The issue is not easy classes.
Easy classes are different from classes that do not exist. Or that require no work. Some of the AFAM classes in McCant's transcript have been confirmed as those types of classes by none other than the UNC funded Martin Report.
If you take away the A's in the fake classes, then McCants would certainly not have not been eligible, given his grades of D's and F's in every other class.
We already have confirmation of the fraudulent classes, UNC does not dispute this.
We already have confirmation of tutors doing work for players, UNC does not dispute this.
We have confirmation via emails of athletic advisors steering athletes to the AFAM classes, this is not disputable.
So what did Mr. McCants say happened? That he took fraudulent classes to stay eligible, steered there by his advisors, and that when work was required, it was done by tutors. So tell me again Heel fans, where the argument is?
To PortCity – We know easy classes aren't the issue. Oh and they have these classes at every University/College. The issue/point this article is making is, what is McCants credibility, motives and agenda. First off McCants has low credibility, ill will motives toward Roy Williams and a selfish agenda to make money off of this "scandal". Roy Williams and the AD are stating they knew nothing about fake classes, the difference this makes is, was this was something students just did, which is what the evidence points to or was this institutionalize, which the evidence doesn't. If there is no evidence that Roy knew about this then there is nothing here but a player who cheated on his own. I'm not sure this is punishable by NCAA, on top of that this is past the statue of limitation. The argument is who people believe, McCant with low creditability or a Hall of Fame coach, whose players are saying the opposite of McCants. I believe Roy, at least until there is concrete evidence he knew more and was involved. So tell me again State fan, Duke fan or whoever your a fan of, how you don't see the point UNC fans are making???
The whole team took those same fake classes, that much we know. They are standing behind Roy (for now) because it serves their own agendas. And what about Roy's agenda? He made money off of every one of the accomplishments of that team. He even makes money when his players make the dean's list. So why would he come out and say he had knowledge of these illicit activities? That would hurt his bottom line. If you are going to question the motives of McCants, you must question the motives of the others involved as well. Smoke has followed Roy for two decades. Eventually, the fire will catch up with him. Four years strong and we have outwitted you at every turn, you are foolish if you think this is close to being over.
Let me let the author and everyone else in on something…he may be out for himself, but that doesn't mean what he is saying isn't true. You guys remember Jose canseco? While playing baseball he knew nothing about steroids, after he was playing, he told all…..and what did the players do..deny deny deny…turns out they were using them. Tell me again how this is different?
looks like a lot of people who got rejected from UNC wind up in the comments section of articles like this crying and whining – almost like mccants.
This article is a just ridiculous! Rashad has made mistakes but the University has made more. Blaming fake classes on administrators and teachers, death threats when those instructors told the truth, unlawful firings. Truth is…. The UNC football team has already come clean. If Rashad's teammates were real men then they would come clean as well. But we all know this school is attempting to keep their national title. And the premise that a college degree is payment enough for a kid that earns an university millions is just modern day slavery. Yes, Rashad played a part but this has been going on in colleges and the NCAA for eons. Check out the 20 years worth of research Mary Willingham has gathered. These colleges should not be monitarily benefiting if they are not truly providing an education.

(RollingStone.com) -- Rihanna has opened up like never before about getting back together with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, and what it means for her public image.
"I decided it was more important for me to be happy," she tells contributing editor Josh Eells in the new issue of Rolling Stone, out Friday, February 1.
On the Cover: Rihanna's Crazy in Love
"I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
The couple's public reconciliation comes less than four years since Brown assaulted Rihanna the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. Brown pleaded guilty to assault and performed community service, but he remains on probation.
Rihanna, Queen of Pain: Sexting, Bad Boys, and Her Attraction to the Dark Side
"When you add up the pieces from the outside, it's not the cutest puzzle in the world," Rihanna says. "You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it's different now. We don't have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about s***. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don't want to lose that."
And Rihanna says that if Brown were ever to display a hint of his past behavior towards her, she is ready to walk.
7 Lessons Learned From Rihanna's '777' Tour
"He doesn't have the luxury of f*****g up again," she says. "That's just not an option. I can't say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I'm pretty solid in the knowing that he's disgusted by that. And I wouldn't have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility."

Report: Toyota to fix over 700,000 RAV4 and Matrix models outside of recall
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jul 15th, 2010 at 2:01PM
Toyota has announced that it will voluntarily repair a number of issues that have arisen with 2001-2003 RAV4 crossovers as well as certain 2009-2010 Matrix and Corolla vehicles. According to Reuters, around 235,500 RAV4 models will be repaired outside of a recall for a "hard shift" problem. Owners have complained that under certain circumstances, the vehicle's transmission would either abruptly shift or otherwise fail to change gears properly. The culprit is typically a faulty engine control module, though in some cases, damage to the transmission may lead to outright replacement. Owners... Read More

Adhesive capsulitis
is a tightening in the shoulder joint. It decreases the range of motion in the shoulder and causes pain. This condition is also known as
frozen shoulder
. It is caused by tightening of the soft tissue and formation of scar tissue.
During this arthroscopic surgery, the doctor cuts and removes scar tissue around the shoulder. The goal of the procedure is to improve range-of-motion by breaking up scar tissue
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have arthroscopic shoulder surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Prior shoulder surgery may also increase your risk of complications.
General anesthesia
is often used for this surgery. You will be asleep.
Three small incisions will be made in your shoulder. A special tool called an arthroscope will be inserted. An arthroscope is a flexible tube with a light at the end and a camera attached. This will allow the doctor to view the inside of the shoulder on a screen. Tiny instruments will be inserted into the other incisions. The doctor will then cut and remove scar tissue. The incisions will be closed with stitches.
You will be taken to a recovery room after surgery. You will be monitored for any adverse reactions to surgery or anesthesia.
About 1-½ to 2 hours
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. In some cases, the doctor implants a
pain pump
into the shoulder. This pump slowly delivers pain medicine. It may be used for the first couple of days and then removed. Afterwards, you will have medicine to help manage the pain.
If there are no complications, it may be possible to leave the hospital on the same day. Talk to your doctor to see if this is an option in your case.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
Your shoulder will be sore for a few weeks. It can take 3-6 months to fully recover.
When you return home, you may be asked to do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:

Tim Krul's heroics denied Tottenham Hotspur a place back in the top four of the Barclays Premier League and helped Newcastle United to a 1-0 win at White Hart Lane.
The Dutchman was on fine form to deny the hosts at regular intervals as Newcastle recorded their first away win over Spurs in five attempts, with Krul making 14 saves in total. Loic Remy continued his fine form to put Newcastle ahead with just 13 minutes on the clock, latching on to Yoan Gouffran's throughball before rounding Brad Friedel and slotting home his seventh Premier League goal in as many appearances. Roberto Soldado, Christian Eriksen and Paulinho were all frustrated by Krul in the first half before he continued his impressive performance after the break, with a spectacular double save among the highlights.
Andre Villas-Boas was forced to rest first-choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris following the concussion suffered against Everton last weekend. Friedel made his 450th Barclays Premier League outing in his place while Mousa Dembele was favoured over Sandro in midfield, with Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson retained after impressive UEFA Europa League showings against Sheriff on Thursday.Alan Pardew's Newcastle were unchanged from their Premier League win over Chelsea last weekend, but welcomed back captain Fabricio Coloccini, who was among the substitutes.
The home side made the brighter start and threatened after nine minutes when Soldado headed Eriksen's cross over the bar. Remy then found himself through on goal but was thwarted by a last-ditch tackle from Vlad Chiriches before Yohan Cabaye was denied at close range by Friedel. The visitors' brief spell of pressure was rewarded when Gouffran dispossessed Dembele and played in Remy, who sped away from Michael Dawson, beat Friedel and calmly finished.
The home side might have levelled five minutes later when Eriksen curled an inviting delivery across the Newcastle goalmouth, but no Spurs player was on hand to apply a finish. Roberto Soldado's header was then tipped over by Krul just short of the half-hour mark before the Dutchman was again alert to deny Eriksen and Paulinho before the break.
Krul was again on hand to maintain his side's lead four minutes into the second half, denying Eriksen one-on-one with his left leg, with substitute Sandro driving wide soon after. The Netherlands goalkeeper continued to deny the North Londoners, making a fine double save from Sigurdsson's free-kick and then Younes Kaboul's follow-up, as Spurs continued to apply pressure.
Both Remy and strike partner Shola Ameobi were withdrawn as Pardew looked to shut up shop – a tactic that proved successful as the Magpies denied Villas-Boas's charges the chance of returning among the UEFA Champions League spots.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Andre Villas-Boas: "We gave the first-half advantage to Newcastle but we were very, very unlucky. We had so many good chances; the result was very unfair. Newcastle came in strong and played well first half – they deserved the lead. We did not recognise ourselves; we were not on top of our game, and it was not our better first half.
"Tim Krul did well today. Last season he had a great game against us as well. He was the inspiration; he made the difference. With a bit more luck we would have found the finishing touch."
VIDEO: Watch Andre Villas-Boas's press conference >>
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew: "Wow. I think [Tim Krul] is the best goalie in Holland and he proved that today. His performance level has not needed to be high recently as we have not come under that sort of pressure too often, but we did today.
"Certainly in the second half Tottenham really turned up the heat and he answered almost everything. It was an unbelievable performance. We did similar to what we did when we won against Chelsea. Remy had a great chance before he scored and I was a little bit surprised he did not take that because he really is in great form.
"But the second one he made no mistake with and it gave us a platform for the win. He has got a silkiness to the way he moves and a nice kind of gait, the way he runs and everything. He really is a classy-looking performer, which is great if you back it up with goals."

NEW YORK (AP) -- One of television's most successful sitcom writers is joining with Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello to create a musical based on the artists' 1998 album "Painted From Memory."
Bacharach said Tuesday that Chuck Lorre, creator of "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory," contacted him and said he wanted to write a story to go with the music.
The dark and lush album was an unusual collaboration between a pop classicist and an Englishman who usually traffics in rock 'n' roll. They earned a Grammy for one of its songs, "I Still Have That Other Girl." Other songs on the disc include "God Give Me Strength" and "This House is Empty Now."
Given the songs' subject matter, Bacharach said the show "won't be a comedy." He declined to give details of the story Lorre was writing for the musical. They're hoping the show makes it to Broadway.
Costello said he and Bacharach are writing additional music for the show.

Control Valves
The 106/206 PGM Series control valves feature single rolling diaphragm (SRD) technology and are designed for particularly sensitive applications or situations in which valves are difficult to access and maintain. They provide an integral backup control and the ability to signal should the desired function move off limits. It can also provide an independent and very positive override.
Pressure-Reducing Control Valves
The 106-PR-SM and 206-PR-SM series control valves are engineered for use wherever pressure-reducing valve failure is unacceptable. These valves have a second, independent operating system that is superimposed upon the standard primary system. With the assurance of a backup system, maintenance schedules may be extended, as pressures will continue to be controlled—even in the event of failure with...
The ZS strainer is designed to protect control valves and pipelines from foreign matter and debris in the flow stream. Manufactured in corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the large-area Z plate is designed to provide smooth laminar flow, which is ideal for locations ahead of automatic control valves. The ZS strainer is supplied with flushing ports on both sides, along with an air bleed...

The Singer Model 106-SPI-MV is a single point insertion electromagnetic flowmeter, installed and calibrated in conjunction with a Singer valve to provide an accurate flow rate that can be utilized with the metering valve as a standalone option or built into a 106-2SC-PCO pilot system to provide complete flow-based valve control.
Pressure-Relief Valves
The 106-RPS-RR and 206-RPS-RR surge anticipating relief on rate of rise valves are based on the 106-PG and 206-PG main valves. Each valve is installed downstream of the pump check valve(s) and has two pilots—the 81-RP and the 81-RPD. Both pilots sense pressure through a connection to the header pipe. The 81-RP high-pressure pilot acts as a standard relief pilot, opening on excessive pressure...
Anti-Cavitation Control Valve
The 106-AC series control valve is designed to solve high pressure-drop problems by allowing smooth control and protection from cavitation damage. It is ideal for applications in which large pressure differentials preclude the use of standard automatic control valves and varying flows make orifice plates ineffective.
Pressure-Relief Valve
The Model A106-DL-Air is a compact sewage relief valve that is suitable for pressures up to 200 psi, responds very quickly and retains all the features and benefits of the Model A106-DL spring-hydraulic version. It is an attractive solution to what may be an otherwise difficult application due to high pressures or space limitations. The Model A106-DL-Air-ET retains all the features and benefits...
Pressure-Reducing Valves
The 106-PR and 206-PR series pressure-reducing valves are based on the 106-PG and 206-PG main valves. The pilot valves sense the downstream pressure through a connection at the valve outlet. Under flowing conditions, the pilot reacts to small changes in pressure to control the valve position by modulating the pressure above the diaphragm. The downstream pressure is maintained steadily at the...
Pressure-Reducing Valve
The 106-PFC/206-PFC pressure modulation valve is a pressure-reducing valve with a special patented pilot that increases downstream pressure as flow increases. The PFC valve alters and controls pressure with flow to create virtually constant pressure at the critical pressure point in a system. It will also automatically adjust for distribution friction losses. This PFC valve will deliver...
Pressure-Relief Valve
The 106-RPS and 206-RPS pressure relief valves are based on the 106-PG and 206-PG main valves. The 81-RP pilot senses the upstream pressure through a connection to the valve inlet. The valve and pilot remain closed until the inlet pressure exceeds the pilot setting. The valve opens rapidly to relieve damaging overpressure and closes smoothly at an adjustable speed when the pressure returns below...
Pressure-Relief Valve
The A106-DL sewage pressure-relief valve is a direct-acting spring-loaded relief valve. It is adjusted to open when the pressure exceeds the set point, which is approximately 10% greater than the normal operating pressure; it closes drip-tight when pressure falls below the set point. The A106-DL is connected on a tee off the main line and usually discharges relief flow back to the main sump to...
Altitude Control Valve
The 106-A-Type 2 and 206-A-Type 2 altitude control valves are based on the 106-PG and 206-PG main valves and are ideal for maintaining a preset maximum water level. Each valve functions as a two-position control valve—either fully open or fully closed. The Type 2 valves allow normal forward flow to fill the reservoir to the maximum level and then closes drip-tight at the set point. They open to...
Excess Flow Valves
The 106-EF-8837BX and 206-EF-8837BX excess flow valves are based on the 106-PT and 206-PT double-chamber main valves. Each valve is designed to shut off tightly when flow exceeds a predetermined amount. The 625-RPD pilot senses the pressure drop of the valve and closes it when the tripping flow is reached; the typical pressure drop at tripping is 5 psi (0.35 bar).
Dual Solenoid Electronic Valves
The Singer models 106-2SC-PCO and 206-2SC-PCO dual solenoid electronic valves are based on the Singer model 106-PG and 206-PG main valves. The flow into and out of the upper operating chamber is controlled by the two pilot solenoids. The electronic control determines whether the opening or closing solenoid is operated. The change in valve position depends upon which solenoid is operated and the...

In the Mozart Year 2006, Henle will begin publication of all of Mozart's string quintets in a three-volume Urtext edition (parts and study scores). Volume II, comprising the best-known and most often played quintets in C major (K. 515), g minor (K. 516) and c minor (K. 406/516b) from 1787 is the first to appear. This Urtext edition contains an exciting finding: it draws upon a hitherto unknown source. Recently Ernst Herttrich, one of the two editors, found handwritten parts for these works, containing additions in Mozart's hand – predominantly concerning dynamics and articulation. The music world is sure to eagerly await volumes I and III which are to be published in the course of the next two years.

Frank is a 37-year-old accountant with a bad sore throat. His Strep test is negative. His physician, Ira Goodfella, recommends Tylenol and salt water gargles. Frank insists that he never gets well without antibiotics. Dr. Ira caves to Frank's wishes and writes him a prescription for an antibiotic.Four days later, Frank's sore throat is gone (in spite of, not because of the antibiotic), but he now has severe diarrhea (common side effect of the antibiotic). He again visits Dr. Ira, who finds Frank in some distress, but with a soft belly and not dehydrated. Dr. Ira prescribes Lomotil, a medicine to block Frank's diarrhea.Frank's diarrhea improves quickly over the next 24 hours, but then his belly becomes very distended, hard and painful. He is hospitalized with a bowel obstruction (the Lomotil put his bowel to sleep). Three days and several thousand dollars poorer, Frank is discharged home, the victim of the medication cascade. Sore throat (useless antibiotic) = diarrhea (Lomotil) = bowel obstruction.
Physicians sometimes inappropriately prescribe antibiotics.Physicians always want to please their patients.Take Home Message: As a patient, be careful what you ask of your physician.In this clinical story, it is extremely unlikely (1 chance in a 100) that the antibiotic would help Frank's sore throat. It was much more likely (1 chance in 6 or 8) that Frank would get diarrhea from the antibiotic.Take Home Message: ALL drugs have side effects. Before you start any new medicine, have the downsides vs. upsides discussion with your physician. Many times, the best medicine is no medicine at all.Dr. Mohler has practiced family medicine in Grand Junction for 38 years. He has a particular interest in pharmaceutical education.

Target cautious after weak holiday quarter, shares fall
- Order Reprints

By Jessica Wohl | February 28, 2013 5:14 AM EST
Target Corp
The discount retailer's fourth-quarter profit fell short of Wall Street expectations as the number of purchases dropped 1 percent, the first such decline in 14 quarters.
Its shares fell nearly 1 percent at $63.46 after dropping as much as 3.7 percent.
"The U.S. economy is growing at a painfully slow rate," Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel said on a conference call.
"We have a tempered view of the near-term sales environment," he said, adding that shoppers, or "guests" as Target calls them, are "quite resilient."
Target's sales started off softly in February, similar to results at rival Wal-Mart Stores Inc
Target is testing programs such as letting shoppers pay online and pick up in-store, or have items delivered on the same day as well as catering to customers using mobile devices. Some of the plans discussed on Wednesday were similar to efforts already tested or rolled out by Walmart.
Target will have a transition year: It is selling its credit card portfolio to Toronto-Dominion Bank
The Canada plans cut earnings by 48 cents per share in 2012 and should trim earnings by about 45 cents in 2013.
Target expects sales to rise about 2 percent this year, down from 5.1 percent growth last year, which had an extra sales week. Sales at stores open at least a year should rise in line with 2012's 2.7 percent increase.
The fourth-quarter marked Target's weakest holiday season performance since 2008, and some strength in January helped prop up what could have been even weaker numbers, said Sandy Skrovan, U.S. research director at Planet Retail.
"Walmart proved the victor over Target for the 2012 holiday season," Skrovan said, pointing out that Walmart U.S. same-store sales rose 1 percent in the quarter. "But Target won the year overall since, unlike Walmart, its affluent shopper base tends to be more insulated from economic swings."
While food and other basics sold well, shoppers held back from discretionary purchases like toys in an uncertain economy. Shoppers bought 0.7 percent more each time they shopped and the average spent was up 1.4 percent.
"Given the size of the company, anything that they do is linked inextricably with the economy," said Cowen & Co analyst Faye Landes. "In addition, they are in the fashion business and that business is clearly not without risk."
Target's holiday season included a disappointing showing for its collection of gifts sold in collaboration with high-end department store chain Neiman Marcus
Wal-Mart said last week that Walmart U.S. same-store sales were likely to be flat this quarter as consumers faced higher gasoline prices and smaller paychecks after the expiration of the U.S. payroll tax cut.
At Target, more shoppers used its credit and debit cards. The cards offer a 5 percent discount to foster customer loyalty, but the discount can also pressure margins.
Target said 15.5 percent of store sales during the quarter were paid with its cards, up from 14 percent in the third quarter and 10.8 percent a year earlier.
The fourth-quarter gross margin declined to 27.8 percent of sales from 28.4 percent a year earlier, due to the increased card usage, remodeling and markdowns on seasonal merchandise.
Target earned $961 million, or $1.47 per share, in the quarter, down from $981 million, or $1.45 per share, a year earlier. Target had fewer shares outstanding in the latest period.
Analysts, on average, expected earnings of $1.48 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Adjusted earnings per share, excluding items such as costs related to Canada, rose to $1.65 from $1.49 a year ago.
Target tempered profit expectations back in early January, when it said earnings would just meet or somewhat exceed the low end of its prior view for net earnings of $1.45 to $1.55 per share and adjusted profit of $1.64 to $1.74 per share.
For the current year, Target forecast adjusted earnings of $4.85 to $5.05 per share, which would exceed the $4.76 it earned last year. It forecast first-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.10 to $1.20 per share versus $1.11 a year ago.
It was not immediately clear how the company's profit forecast compared to analysts' expectations.
Target previously said fourth-quarter sales rose 6.8 percent to $22.37 billion, with same-store sales up 0.4 percent. Same-store sales missed analysts' average target of 0.8 percent.
