Are You a Free-Range Parent? You Should Be
There was a great article in the New York Times the other day titled, The Case for Free-Range Parenting.

Sheared Azaleas
Hello all.
In many of the pictures i've viewed of Japanese gardens,
there are sheared azalea mounds. Could someone inform me of the species of azalea that are used. And additional info on shearing azaleas would be appreciated. I live in Michigan zone 4. TIA
Mr. Miagi
I think its fair to say its not the species, or cv's, that are important but the azalea/rhododendron 'group'. The 'small leaved' or 'japanese' or 'small leaved evergreens' (these are terms i know to be used in europe) the important thing about this group of azaleas is that they 'break' from cuts into old wood ie they are 'shearable'. Also the habit produced by this breaking of many new buds from pruning cuts gives the dense crown of foliage suitable for tamamono (rounded shrubs)
Here is some nice info and suggestions. I hope this link works.
a career in horticulture and a long standing interest in Oriental style landscaping. Does anybody know what iandad is talking about ?
All Evergeen Azaleas can be sheared.
You'd choose what groups are hardy in your area. This link should be helpful.
Azaleas have growing points all along their stems so you don't have to be careful where you cut. Dwarf Rhododendrons don't, so they are not candidates for shearing.
Technically, all Evergreen Azaleas ARE Dwarf Rhododendrons but in the US they aren't labeled as such.
Here is a link that might be useful: evergreen azalea info
I think there are a number discrepancies in your post. For example, "evergreen" is at least partially related to where it is planted. And "dwarf" is a poor choice of words because some of those slow-growing plants can become HUGE after 100 years. Perhaps ronbird can help clear things up.
If mrmiagi48386 goes to a typical US garden center and asks for a small leaved or Japanese Rhododendron he is most likely not going to be shown the plants he really wants.
In the USA the term is "Evergreen Azalea" for what he wants.
Even if some of them partially defoliate during harsh winters.
A small leaved Rhododendron here is going to get him 'Ramapo', 'PJM', R. impeditum or others that are not suitable for shearing and which are generally termed "Dwarf Rhododendrons" here.
I said that all evergreen azaleas were techincally dwarf Rhododendrons because all azaleas belong to the Genus Rhododendron and the evergreen ones we grow here rarely exceed 4' tall making them dwarf plants by most standards.
100 year old shrubs aren't commonplace in the USA. :)
Is Michigan as cold as Minnesota?
If so, you may be out of luck with any of the evergreen azaleas.

Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient. – Steve Maraboli
A Message From Our Minister
Resilience: Our ability to heal, to bounce back after a difficulty, to meet a challenge.
With the official start of spring on March 21, we welcome the season of resilience. Spring is a testimony to the life force and its ability to infuse and encourage. There is much joy in seeing green appear once more, and especially the earliest flowers that brave the in-between time of spring – a time when cold and snow are still possible and often present, yet each day grows longer, the sun brighter and we know completely the time of no-snow and warmer temperatures is near.
So, too, with the challenges we face in our personal and communal lives. At some point, we reach the season of possibility, and though things might still seem a bit unsteady or uncertain, we can see beyond to a future that holds promise.
May we each find ourselves closer to the spring season in our hearts, as we touch into the resilience of the season and welcome the changes before us.
With every good wish,

new uses for old canisters
What other uses can I use my old canisters? I recently remodeled my kitchen and received a new set of canisters that goes better with the new kitchen. I love my "old" canisters and wondered what else or where else I could use them.
I use mine for storage of medicines; individual portions of nuts, M&M's, crackers, etc. for lunches; freshly washed green food bags. In the past I've used them for receipts, coupons, small electronics, dog food/treats. You just have to figure out what the greatest need is, in a way that you will actually use them in the location you want.
Under the kitchen sink for those dishwasher thingys...cascade or whatever they are. Dog treats too!
The small ones in the bathroom for cotton balls.
Karen L
What do they look like? Are they decorative? In a color that could work in another room possibly? Or will you need to use them behind doors?
I bought a set of three of the glass ones to use in the master bath. Wasn't sure what I was going to put in them until I got home. One holds cotton balls, one cotton swabs and one facial tissures. If you buy the kind that fold into each other and pulls the next one up when you take the top one you won't have reach down in for them.
Claire--I like the coupon repository idea.
Like Clair, I am a fan of repurposing things. My old canisters are now in the laundry room labeled to identify detergents and additives. I even used an empty detergent box for a planter. I painted the tops of Voss water bottle then filled them with different detergent liquids.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Researchers from Denmark's Aarhus University, Vermont Law School and the U.S.-funded Center for Naval Analyses Corporation have come out with a chilling prophecy. Due to heightened demand for drinking water and energy needs, "There will be no water by 2040 if we keep doing what we're doing today," according to researcher Benjamin Sovacool.

Keywords: Drought, water needs, energy, agriculture, wind farms
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Sovacool, along with his colleagues say that the world will face "insurmountable" water crises in less than three decades, if it does not move away from water-intensive power production.
Widespread drought will occur unless action is taken soon, Sovacool, the director of the Center for Energy Technology at Aarhus University said in a press release.
SAVE Iraqi Christians from Genocide --
Internationally, there has been a three-fold population increase in the past century. There has been a six-fold increase in water consumption to accompany it. If trends in population and energy use continue, it could leave a 40 percent gap between water supply and demand by the year 2030.
The United States, along with the majority of most countries, energy production is the biggest source of water consumption. Hydroelectric energy needs are even larger than those demanded by agriculture, researchers said. In 2005, 41 percent of all freshwater consumed in the U.S. was for thermoelectric cooling. Power plants produce excess heat, requiring cooling cycles that use water. Only wind and solar voltaic energy production require minimal water.
"If we keep doing business as usual, we are facing an insurmountable water shortage - even if water was free, because it's not a matter of the price," Sovacool adds.
Researchers said nuclear power and coal - the power sources requiring the most water should be eventually replaced with more efficient methods, especially renewable sources like wind and solar, the report said.
"Electricity generation from thermoelectric power plants is inextricably linked to water resources at nearly all stages in the power production cycle, yet this critical constraint has been largely overlooked in policy and planning," the report said.
Texas was chosen by the researchers as an important case study as its population is predicted to grow from 25 million to 55 million by 2050, which will increase the competition for water and electricity.
Texas, highly prone to drought, gets 33 percent of its power from coal, 10 percent from nuclear and 48 percent from natural gas, according to the study. During the summer of 2011, Texas experienced the worst drought in state history. However - the state suffered no blackouts that summer was Texas' wind energy production. At least 10 percent of the state's energy needs were provided by wind that summer, up to 18 percent on some days, making it an important alternative to nuclear, coal and natural gas.

The Gates of Sto-Vo-Kor Screenshot Event
The Gates of Sto'Vo'Kor is sponsoring a new screenshot event featuring the Lethean. All submissions must be a screenshot that features the Lethean in good or great quality. The winner of the contest will win a Holo-Leeta Duty Officer.
Sskald: Attention, Warriors of the Empire! I am Sskald.
Karn: And I am called Karn, we are both Warriors of Sto'Vo'Kor.
Sskald: Couldn't we get Ghargh to do this instead of us?
Karn: He was unavailable at this time. And don't even ask about the Most Dangerous Klingon in the Galaxy, he isn't available either.
Sskald: You know how much I hate it when you read my thoughts like that?
Karn: Anyway, we at the Gates of Sto'Vo'Kor are requesting all Warriors to participate in our newest contest.
Sskald: We are looking for the best holopictures of the Empire. All submissions-
Karn: Must feature members of my people, the Letheans.
Sskald: Stop doing that!
Karn: Stop doing what?
Sskald: Finishing my sentences. It's annoying!
Karn: Whether you say it or I pluck it out your head, and then say it, either way the message gets out.
Sskald: Grrrrrrrr, just continue with the announcement!
Karn: Alright, the winner is the one who best features the Letheans. Said winner will win a holographic Leeta duty officer similar to the one seen at the Dabo tables of DS9, Drozana, and onboard the Ferengi Marauder vessel.
Sskald: And the contest will run until September 30th ---
Karn: at midnight PTD. So get your holopics in for a chance to win.
Sskald: I told you to stop doing that!
Karn: And you haven't given a reason to stop. So why should I listen?
Sskald: Oh you?ll see
Karn: (somewhat disgusted) Ugh! That is something I didn't want to see Sskald! I don't want explicit details of the Gorn Egg Laying Ceremony!
Skald: (Devious chuckle) There is more where that came from, how about this?
Karn: (Groan)

The invention is generally related to hydraulic control devices, and is specifically directed to a hydraulic control valve having a variable electromagnetic detent.
Detents for manually operable hydraulic control valve have long been used to maintain the valve in one or more selected positions, thus enabling the operator to remove his hand from the control handle and at the same time keep the hydraulic system in a particular state. They are particularly useful in maintaining the hydraulic valve in a limit position against the bias of a centering spring which normally urges the valve control element to a centered, neutral position.
In cases such as these, however, the force of the detent must be commensurate with that of the centering spring. If the detent force is insufficient, it cannot maintain the valve control element in a limit position against the stronger force of the centering spring. On the other hand, if the detent force is too large relative to the centering spring force, it is difficult for the operator to move the valve out of the limit position.
For this reason, the traditional approach to adding a detent feature to a hydraulic control valve has been on a model-by-model basis, designing the detent force relative to the size of the centering spring (and any other existing forces), which itself is chosen for the specific application. This has resulted in the design and manufacture of a substantial number of components each of which is unique to a particular valve model.
The subject invention overcomes this problem with a single device that generates a detent force which may be simply and easily varied by the operator to adapt to the structural environment as well as the operator's own operational preference. This is accomplished by providing the movable valve control element with an armature that operates in association with a stationary electromagnet, the position of the electromagnet defining a limit position for the valve control element. An electronic circuit including a power transistor generates a current to energize the electromagnets under certain conditions. The magnitude of the transistor output current is controlled through adjustment of a variable resistor connected to the transistor base. The detent assembly is disposed in a housing secured to the valve body, and the variable resistor is accessible for screwdriver adjustment through an opening that is normally sealed.
The inventive apparatus also includes a "feel" mechanism which enables the operator to sense the position of the movable control element, and to determine the point at which the electromagnetic detent will take effect. The "feel" mechanism is also adjustable by the operator through an access opening in accordance with his preference and the environment of use.
As described hereinbelow, it will be appreciated that the electromagnetic detent assembly enables the operator to move the control valve to a detent limit position where it is maintained without further manual contact, and to move the valve out of the limit position with minimum effort. Due to the variable feature, a single device may be used for different valve models having different spring forces.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a system including a manually operable control valve having a variable electromagnetic detent;
FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the control valve and electromagnetic detent, portions thereof broken away and shown in section.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a manually operable hydraulic control valve represented generally by the numeral 11 is shown in combination with a hydraulic actuator 12 of the conventional piston-cylinder type. Control valve 11 is supplied with hydraulic fluid under pressure through a line 13 including a pump 14, the inlet side of the pump 14 being in communication with a sump 15.
Generally, hydraulic fluid is received by the valve 11 through an inlet port 16 where it is metered in a desired amount to either of a pair of load ports 17, 18 by operation of a handle 19. Load ports 17, 18 are respectively connected to hydraulic lines 21, 22 to ports 23, 24 of the actuator 12.
Hydraulic valve 11 further includes a return port 25 which communicates with the sump 15 through a hydraulic line 26. A relief valve 27 interconnects hydraulic lines 13 and 26, permitting the release of fluid from hydraulic line 13 to sump 15 when pressure reaches a predetermined maximum level.
With specific reference to FIG. 2, the flow of hydraulic fluid within hydraulic control valve 11 is accomplished by a conventional spool 31 which is pivotally connected at one externally projecting end to the handle 19. As is well known in the hydraulic technology, spool 31 comprises a longitudinal member of circular cross section, selected portions of which are reduced in diameter, as shown by the reference numerals 31a-31d. These stepped down regions serve to control the flow of hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic power loop 32 to either of two outlet passages 33, 34, which respectively lead to the load port 17, 18. Power loop 32 receives hydraulic fluid from inlet 16 through an externally adjustable load check 35.
Hydraulic valve 11 further defines a return loop 36 which, depending on the position of spool 31, receives returned hydraulic fluid from the outlet passage 33 or 34 not in communication with hydraulic power loop 32.
Hydraulic control valve 11 further includes an axially extending housing 41 into which the spool 31 projects. The extreme end of spool 31 defines an additional stepped down region 31e which terminates in the threaded portion 31f. A spool extension represented generally by the numeral 42 is secured to the end of spool 31 by a threaded cap or spud 42a. Cap 42a has an outer cross sectional dimension corresponding generally to the outside diameter of the spool 31, and both define a shoulder relative to the stepped down region 31e. Flanged caps 43, 44 are respectively secured to the spool 31 and threaded cap 42a at these shoulders; and, together with a compression spring 45, define a spring centering mechanism for the spool 31. These components are constructed and disposed so that the spool 31 normally occupies the centered position shown in FIG. 2; i.e., a neutral position where there is no fluid communication between the power loop 32, the outlet passages 33, 34 and the return loop 36.
Intermediate the threaded cap 42a and the opposite end of spool extension 42 is a region 42b of reduced diameter. Cooperating with this region 42b is a "feel" mechanism represented generally by the numeral 46, which enables the valve operator to sense the position of spool 31 as discussed in further detail below. The "feel" mechanism comprises a hollow stem 46a which is slidably disposed in a radial bore in the housing 41. The radial bore extends slightly beyond the axial bore in which the spool extension 42 is disposed, permitting a limited amount of radial travel of the hollow stem 46a. A threaded cap 46b retains the hollow stem 46a in the radial bore and protectively fits over the mechanism.
A first ball member 46c is carried at the bottom of the stem 46a in engaging relation with the stepped region 42b. A second ball member 46d is carried by a piston member 46e, the two members being normally urged into engagement with the stepped region 42b by a compression spring 46f. The degree of compression of spring 46f is determined by adjustment of a threaded screw 46g, which is carried within the upper end of the hollow stem 46a.
The force exerted on the two balls 46c, 46d by spring 46f enables the operator to sense the point at which either of the shoulders at the opposite ends of stepped down region 42b are reached. At this point, fluid communication has already been established between the power loop 32 and one of the outlet passages 33, 34.
With reference to both FIGS. 1 and 2, an armature 51 having a disc configuration is secured to the end of spool extension 42 by a screw or the like. Disposed on each axial side of armature 51 are electromagnets 52, 53, the spool extension 42 passing through a central opening in the electromagnet 52. Electromagnets 52, 53 are of the type that do not generate a magnetic force until contact has been made by the armature 51. The armature 51 and electromagnets 52, 53 are accessible through an end opening in the housing 41 which is normally closed by a threaded plug 54 having a screwdriver slot 54a.
An electrical circuit and component housing represented generally by the numeral 61 is secured within the housing 41 in a radially offset chamber adjacent the armature 51 and electromagnets 52, 53. An external projection 61a is threaded to serve as a mechanical strain relief connector for external electrical components as discussed below.
With reference to FIG. 1, the housing 61 contains electronic circuit components including a transistor 62, a biasing resistor 63 and a variable resistor 64. Variable resistor 64 includes a wiper 64a that is movable to vary its effective resistance. Electrical contacts 65, 66 and 67 are disposed within the threaded projection 61a of housing 61 to receive external electrical connections as will be described below.
An electrical lead 68 connects point 65 with the emitter of transistor 62. An electrical lead 69 connects point 66 with variable resistor 64. An electrical lead 71 commonly connects point 67 with the positive side of the coils of electromagnets 52, 53. An electrical lead 72 connects the collector of transistor 62 with the negative side of the electromagnet coils.
The biasing resistor 63 and variable resistor 64 are connected in series with the base of transistor 62.
With reference to FIG. 2, an adjusting screw 64b for variable resistor 64 is externally accessible through an opening in housing 41. A plug 73 normally seals the access opening. Adjusting screw 64b moves the wiper 64a to determine the effective resistance of variable resistor 64.
A battery 82, which preferably is the 12 volt battery of the vehicle with which the system is used, is electrically connected between contact points 65 and 67 with the polarity arranged as shown in FIG. 1.
Three spring-loaded, normally closed switches 83-85 are connected in series by an electrical lead 86 which defines a loop externally interconnecting point contacts 66 and 67. As connected, switches 83-85 are connected in parallel with the battery 82. Actuation of any of the switches 83-85 interrupts the flow of signal current to the base of transistor 62, thus interrupting current to the electromagnets 52, 53.
Switch 83 is an on-off switch for the system, which may be interconnected with the key switch of the vehicle to prevent current drain when the system is not in use. Switches 84, 85 each includes a roller (reference numerals 84a, 85a, respectively) each of which is engageable by a flag 87 mounted on the piston rod of hydraulic actuator 12. As will be appreciated, the switches 84, 85 are disposed relative to the flag 87 at predetermined limits of travel of the piston rod of actuator 12.
The connection to the negative pole of battery 82 and the opposite ends of lead 86 define contacts which are commonly mounted in a connector (not shown) which screws onto the threaded projection to establish electric contact with points 65-67.
In operation, let it be assumed that the spool 31 is in the centered position shown in FIG. 2, that the switch 83 is closed or "on", and that the piston rod of actuator 12 is extended so that the flag 87 is in engagement with the roller 85a, thus opening switch 85. This interrupts the flow of current to the base of transistor 62 and precludes the generation of an electromagnetic force in either of the electromagnets 52 or 53. The "feel" mechanism 46 is centered relative to the stepped down region 42b, and the armature 51 is centered between the electromagnets 52, 53. Compression spring 45 maintains the spool 31 and spool extension 42 in the centered position.
The piston rod of hydraulic actuator 12 is retracted to accomplish the desired work by the vehicle (e.g., raising the bucket of a front end loader) by manually shifting the handle 19 forward. This moves the spool 31 axially forward until fluid communication is established between the power loop 32 and outlet passage 33 via the stepped down region 31d. Hydraulic fluid is thus applied under pressure from the load port 17 through the hydraulic line 21 to the actuator port 23, causing the piston rod to retract and moving the flag 87 out of engagement with the roller 85a.
At this point, all three switches 83-85 are closed, causing the flow of base current to transistor 62. The magnitude of this current, and hence the magnitude of the transistor collector current flowing to the electromagnets 52, 53, is a function of the electrical potential of battery 82, the value of resistor 63 and the point at which variable resistor 64 is adjusted.
The flow of current in lead 72 energizes electromagnets 52, 53. As the handle 19 is moved forward further, the balls 46c, 46d engage the right shoulder of stepped down region 42b. This provides a "feel" at the handle 19, letting the operator know that further movement will result in electromagnetic detent. Further movement of handle 19 causes the armature 51 to come into contact with electromagnet 53, closing the magnetic circuit around the coil of electromagnet 53, and holding the valve spool 31 in the detent position until the piston rod of actuator 12 is fully retracted. At that point, the flag 87 engages the roller 84a, opening switch 84 and interrupting the flow of base current to transistor 62. In the absence of base current, there is no collector current in lead 72, and both electromagnets 52, 53 are de-energized.
Release of the handle 19 with electromagnets 52, 53 de-energized results in centering of the spool 31 by the compression spring 45. Upon returning to the centered position, the valve 11 is ready for actuation in the opposite direction to extend the piston cylinder of actuator 12. This operation is in essentially the same manner as that described for actuator retraction, although reversed.
Depending on the particular needs of the operator and the application, the variable resistor 64 may be adjusted to vary the holding force by one of the electromagnets 52, 53 on the armature 51. This is accomplished by removing the plug 73 and adjusting the screw 64a.
Similarly, the cap 46b may be removed from the "feel" mechanism 46, and the screw 46g adjusted to vary the "feel" sensed by the operator at the handle 19.

well after reading the lore of Fiddle and Nocturn I've had an idea of why and how it would play out.
it starts with the mage Istvaan preforming his magic
The room hums and sparks with magic as he chants and draws in energy trying control the only emotion no one has control over fear it self. His chanting grows louder and the magic shifts quicker until it ends in a flash of light ending in pure darkness and silence. Istvaan stands "did it work"? he starts to find it difficult to move "what the hell"!
a voice echos in his mind "be consumed". shadows wrap around his body as he try's to struggle the voice echos again "this is what you wanted". his body becomes frail and he finds himself unable to control it."so were allowing you this gift". the shadows form crows that strike his body fusing them selves with him coursing untold power into him. "you will wait for us puppet". he felt his body move on its own scythe now in hand "kill all who enter,for none shall keep you from your gift". the doors swing open and his body lashed out striking the summoner down. "And as punishment for your indiscretion" another summoner enters and his body lets out a ghastly laugh as crows swarm him
"you'll be forced to watch every second of bloodshed until my arrival".
as the doors shut and lock he stands there, unable to move,unable to speak, unable to act only watch as he is forced to kill against his will slowly becoming consumed by the very thing he tried to control.
well that's what i think anyway tell me what you guys thought =)

Quote, Tuesday, 4/5/11
âÂÂYou play the hand you're dealt.
I think the game's worthwhile.âÂÂ
C.S. Lewis
Some day you will be old enough to
start reading fairy tales again."
C.S. Lewis
I tell Georgie-Porgie he is a most beautiful cat,
that he takes my breath away with his regalness;
his being.
He turns his fluffy white head towards me
in the the early-morning glow and yawns,
"I know."
Anne, you are so right!
How about the popular books that seemed so important as young adults----then years later, we're clearing out stuff and see those words again and just shake our heads and roll our eyes?
PS; does anyone know what's causing those weird symbols here and there?
Thanks, Don!
Guess what? I got a new mouse today because the old one was probably 7 or 8 years old and I had to keep cleaning cat hair off the ball.
This new one is a laser-type and it's like driving a Porsche after that other one!!!!
I know; I know----doesn't take much to get me on a roll.
----don't even ask what happened while I was buying the thing....
Combining the C.S. Lewis quotes: being old enough to read fairy tales to grandchildren--and then, great-grandchildren-- helps to make the game worthwhile.
KJ, all the quotes posted have something to offer, but you and Lilo are setting the bar awfully high for the rest of us by using your own insightful and poetic words of wisdom.
Please don't stop! They're wonderful!

New manager at West Cumbria museum
Last updated at 12:16, Friday, 15 November 2013
A Workington woman has swapped the aisles of Marks & Spencer for a new challenge at the town's Helena Thompson Museum.
A WORKINGTON woman has swapped the aisles of Marks & Spencer for a new challenge at the town's Helena Thompson Museum.
Patricia Poole, 47, of Ashton Street, who worked in the Pow Street store for more than 30 years, is the new full-time manager of the museum and community centre.
The mother-of-three will oversee the redevelopment of the Park End Road venue.
Patricia said: "One of the directors of the museum approached me when I was in store and said 'How would you like to be the new manager?'"
Helen Fowler, of the Workington Heritage Group, said: "Tricia will be the catalyst that will take the existing developments and proposed developments and facilities forward, helping to make it a sustainable business."
Pat Hall, volunteer and former part-time manager, will continue to work on the education side of the business.
Patricia will focus on consolidating the venue's social and community links.
She has considerable experience of fund-raising and organising community events, which will prove essential in the role.
A proposed education zone at the museum is in the running for a £50,000 grant in the People's Millions vote on ITV on November 27.

The operator of the leaking Fukushima nuclear plant said on Tuesday that it dumped more than 1,000 tonnes of polluted water into the sea after a typhoon raked the facility. Typhoon Man-yi smashed into Japan on Monday, bringing with it heavy rain that caused flooding in some parts of the country, including the ancient city of Kyoto. The rain also lashed near the broken plant run by Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), swamping enclosure walls around clusters of water tanks containing toxic water that was used to cool broken reactors. Thousands of tonnes of water that was poured on the reactors to tame meltdowns is being stored in temporary tanks at the plant, and Tepco has so far revealed no clear plan for it. — AFP

Brass in pocket...
Does the TASO fast changer make this thing old? Dunno...
Never seen this before... if you look just left of centre, in the first slot there's an allen screw. That's the velocity adjuster. I'm very curious to see just how well it works. Great idea...
I almost crapped myself when I saw how this guy packaged it (wrapped it in some paper towels and padded the box with a few plastic bags!!! That's it!!!) but it survived the trip. I think I'm gonna polish it up nice an' purdy then maybe get a clearcoat over that so it stays nice and shiny all the time. :D
How does the velocity adjuster work? It looks to be in the wrong place to do anything.
As for the bad packaging - I hear you. I've received some scarily packaged stuff myself (you have to wonder what the sender was thinking).
If I'm not mistaken the V/A was an aftermarket part. The way it works is there is a ball bearing in the bore of the hammer, and the screw out the side has a taper to it. When you turn the screw in the ball gets pushed backwards and increasing the spring tension. Which in turns keeps the valve open longer. :)
That is all correct. These velocity adjusters work but don't seem to offer the same range of adjustability as the rear velocity adjusters do.
The adjustable bolts have a small range of adjustment, but are unusual and collectible. Peter
That poor pgp.
