Great thread, sorry for potentially hijacking but:
Recent proud owner of a Cerveny CFH 803PX rotary fluegelhorn. I am having some trouble with the oiling of the rotors. I gave it a good bath after having two additional water valves installed which completely stripped the original oil away. The problem is with identifying the correct oil for the rotors themselves. Before bathing the horn, I had applied superslick rotory oil before (which in hindsight, despite the name, was for the bearings and linkages) which was too viscous so although the valves were delightfully smooth, they were a bit slow. After recommendation by a good French horn player, I put regular trumpet valve oil (Yamaha and Denis Wick advances formula, both synthetic) down but this seems to be too thin as the valves still have the metallic scraping sound that unoiled valves have. I put this down the lead pipe as well as the first and middle valve tubes and moved the horn around to distribute it.
I had read conflicting reports on the oil used; some sources say that it is thicker than piston oil, and others that it is thinner due to the closer tolerance. What oils do players typically put on their rotary valves? Is it worth simply waiting until my next visit to Germany and ordering some Hetman 11/12?
Answers gratefully received.

I like hetman 12 for the rotors, and I also like hetman 17 for the linkages. If the 17 is a little stiff, then thin it down with a few drops of 12.
With the scraping sound you might need to have a tech clean and re set the valve, it might be worth it if a shaving burr got in the valves. Side on caution and have a professional look at it before you go heavy on oiling to try to remove the metallic grating on your own metal on metal very bad. You also could be experiencing some crud that flaked off from cleaning. If you are confident you know how to disassemble it and work on it I would pull rotors and clean it again.
I worked on my old junker flugel. It was a mess, but it is better now. It was a good learning experience, and taught me a ton. I don't ever plan to sell it really so I am ok with what I accomplished. I looked into valves and it is a stiff 300-350 per valve for a rebuild. Plating and honing is not much less.
Remember what everyone says. If you are not comfortable, take it to the professional. And if you want to lean, find a beater to work on instead of a good horn you want to keep good.

I use standard synthetic piston oils for the rotors. I am also sure that if you have scraping, it is NOT coming from the rotor bearings. To identify the source, remove the screw connecting the linkage to the rotor. Turn the rotors by hand. If there is no scraping, the linkage is the culprit. If there is scraping, I suspect dirt in the rotor. I would probably then disassemble the rotor and clean up whatever I find. I do suspect the linkage as culprit.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
I use Ultra Pure valve oil on the rotors and linkages of my rotary valve instruments, I have never seen the need to use separate grades of oil for rotors and linkages except that it sells 2 bottles where 1 is sufficient.

If I Buy anything second hand, it gets a really good clean before it gets played. If it was a rotary, then it would go to the Tech for a first clean and service. You need to be sure everything is working as best as it can, or you will only get frustrated with it. Getting to know a good tech is really a long term relationship. I still send my rotaries to the Tech annually for a service and clean. It is a cheap investment.
Congrats on the newpurchase

Valve oil is valve oil. Piston/rotary makes no difference. As for viscosity: use what works. However, toros use bearing oil as well. Bearing oil is thicker, and meant for the bearing surfaces only. Linkage oil (you guessed it) is thicker yet, and meant for the linkages. Hetman makes a balljoint oil as well, and it is thicker, and keeps those minibal joints, or whatever else you have running quiet. As for the extra water keys... want to make sure all of the "workings" (grit, metal bits, etc) are out of the horn.

That means if you have the flu, a headache, earache, or anything of similar nature that will most likely disappear within a couple days, don't bother going. Now, a number of people get angry about a very important factor or another whenever they go to some pharmacy, whether it is the wait time, insurance problems, or possibly a medication is sold-out and has to get ordered. Last night she was rummaging through bottles of pills and tablets when I asked her what she was seeking she casually said she's ran out of amlodipine.
At the age of 18, her brother married one of the children of an existing bookstore owner in Manila; hence, she was able to land a job being a salesgirl in a single of its stalls. Therefore, online transactions relating to the medicine becomes the order with the day that is why believe that an immediate need to have a pharmacy merchant card account. This is in reality a national certification exam, where there are two main options.
A wholesale purchase will prove very much helpful if you're having large family. Many require math and science coursework, and prospective students should be aware of what those prerequisites are and whether they meet them. Meadow's Pharmacy is and a great shopping spot year-round.
To maximum benefit out from the card, apply it every visit and track of coupon restrictions and expiration dates. You may also check out "Physician Assistant Is a Top Healthcare Career. They may also check with doctors to authorize refills, and enter drug information to the computer.
Courses in math, health and life sciences will establish just the kind of foundation you'll need whenever you start school for pharmacy technician training. They should also be informed about pharmaceutical terminology, since they will have to know the names of assorted medications. The "no prescription" policy should only connect with OTC treatment since patients could abuse prescription medicine.

[0005]This invention relates generally to outdoor post-mounted lamps and more particularly to post mounted lamps powered by batteries rechargeable by solar energy.
[0006]Post lamps are commonly used in numerous applications to provide illumination during the night along streets, in shopping centers and strip malls, and along walkways and driveways at schools, offices, and residences. Such lamps are most often powered by electricity and require connection to the electrical power grid by electrical cable. In some residential and commercial developments, such lighting is provided by continuously burning gas lamps using natural gas or propane instead of electricity. This also requires connection to some source of fuel gas by piping. The difficulty and expense of providing and maintaining such cable or piping connections discourages provision of such illumination in many cases where it would otherwise be desirable. The cost of the energy consumed by such lighting is also considerable, presently often exceeding 200 to 300 dollars per lamp per year.
[0007]For more than thirty (30) years, there have been extensive efforts to develop alternative sources of energy, including harnessing wind energy, ocean wave and tidal energy, and solar energy. These efforts have led to the still continuing evolution of wind and sea water turbine generators, and of both thermal and photoelectric solar collectors. Since solar collector efficiency is greatest when the radiation source direction is perpendicular to the surface of the solar collector, some high-efficiency solar collectors have been provided with drive systems to adjust azimuth and elevation angles of the collector to maintain perpendicularity of the collector surface to the sun throughout the day. Such systems, however, are too costly for most private residential applications, and solar collectors are most often oriented in a direction which receives the maximum average daily radiation throughout the year.
[0008]The development and rapid improvement in semiconductor technology has made possible electrically-powered hand-held devices such as calculators which use photoelectric cells for power. This technology has enabled placement of self-contained solar powered lighting units at any location where enough solar radiation is available to charge batteries with sufficient electrical energy to power the lights. In some cases, unless the solar collector has sufficient collecting surface area, insufficient solar energy may be collected during overcast days to provide enough power to operate the light throughout the hours of darkness. To avoid this problem, solar powered lamps are typically provided with large solar collector arrays the sizes and configurations of which, in some applications, may be impractical or aesthetically objectionable. As a result, application of solar power for such lighting has been limited to locations where the solar collector arrays can be masked or otherwise shielded from view.
[0009]The foregoing illustrates limitations known to exist in present post-mounted lighting equipment. Thus, it would clearly be advantageous to provide an alternative directed to overcoming one or more of the limitations set forth above. Accordingly, a suitable alternative is provided including features more fully disclosed hereinafter.
[0010]In one aspect of the present invention, this is accomplished by providing a solar powered electrical post lamp having a main body with a lighting element and at least three light-transmitting sides, a base member for mounting the body on a post, a top member for shedding precipitation and airborne dirt, a rechargeable battery, and a solar collector for charging the battery. The invention improves such post lights by incorporating the solar collector in the top member so that the solar panels which make-up the collector form the downward sloping periphery of the top member, the slope of which being determined by and approximating the latitude of intended use of the post lamp.
[0011]The foregoing and other aspects will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0012]FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the solar-powered post lamp of the invention.

[0044]The schematic perspective view of FIG. 1 shows the solar powered post lamp 100 in one preferred embodiment having a top member 10, a main body 20, and a base member 30. The top member 10 is formed as a six-sided polyhedron with a square top solar collector panel 14, four trapezoidal peripheral solar collector panels 12, and a square top member bottom plate 11 (seen in FIGS. 2 and 3), all mounted on a top member frame 13.
[0045]The top member 10 is affixed to the lamp main body 20. The main body 20 has a main body frame 22 supporting a plurality of light transmitting side plates 24, and affixed to a main body bottom plate 21. A photocell 23 is mounted on frame 22 and senses ambient light to activate and deactivate the lighting element 25, mounted within the main body, at dusk and dawn.
[0046]Base member 30 comprises a base member lamp post socket 34 and a base member attachment flange 32. The base member attachment flange is affixed to the main body 20 and supports the lamp on a lamp post (not shown).
[0047]FIGS. 2(a)-2(d) schematically show the separate elements and subassemblies of the invention. In FIG. 2(a), top member 10 is shown to have an interior volume defined by frame 13 and bottom plate 11. The top member 10 is illustrated here as an open frame 13 upon which solar panels 12 and 14 are to be mounted, but it may also be made as an inverted deep-drawn bowl (not shown) upon which solar panels are mounted. If made as a drawn bowl, the top member 10 may be hinged to the top member bottom plate 11 to provide access for a battery and electronic control module to be mounted on the bottom plate. Lighting element leads 28 and photocell connection leads 24 are illustrated protruding from top member bottom plate 11. The interior of top member 10 is preferably used for housing other components of the lamp including battery 50 (FIG. 2(b)), and electronic control module 60 (FIG. 2(c)), and the square top surface and downward sloping trapezoidal peripheral surfaces are used for mounting solar collector panels 14 and 12, respectively (FIG. 2(d)). The solar panels 12, 14, electronic control module 60, battery 50, photoelectric cell 23, and lighting element 25 are interconnected through connection leads 18, 68, 58, 24, and 28, respectively. Solar panel connection leads 18 provide solar energy through electronic control leads 68 to electronic control module 60. The control module connects through battery connection cables 58 to recharge battery 50 until it is fully charged. It also processes signals received through photocell connection leads 24 to activate and deactivate lighting element 25, in response to ambient light levels, through lighting element connection leads 28.
[0048]Main body 20 is mounted on base member 30 which has a base member lamp post socket 34 fixed to the main body bottom plate 21 by base member attachment flange 32. The main body has a frame 22 mounted on bottom plate 21. The frame is designed to support transparent or translucent plates (not shown) around a center mounted lighting element 25 which includes at least one (1), but preferably a plurality, of light emitting diodes as determined by lighting level requirements. Lighting element 25 is shown projecting downward from the bottom plate of the top member, but in appropriate cases it may be mounted projecting upward from the main body bottom plate 21. A photoelectric cell 23 is mounted on the frame 22 and provides electrical signals to the electronic control module 60 to control lighting element 25 in response to ambient light levels at dawn and dusk.
[0049]Top member 10 is preferably formed as shown with a square top 14 and downward sloping trapezoidal sides 12 incorporating the solar collector panels. It is clear, however, that it could also be formed with a square pointed top with triangular sides, a conic top, truncated or not, or a triangular top with trapezoidal or triangular sides, or other combinations. In any case, the slope of the periphery is determined by the geographic latitude of intended application of the lamp, since solar energy is most intense when it is perpendicular to the receiving surface. For example, if the lamp is intended for localities near 300 North (or South) latitude, the periphery will have a slope between 25° and 35°, while applications near 45° would require a slope between 40° and 50°. As the demand at a particular latitude becomes large enough, it is possible to provide the slope to match exactly and thereby maximize efficiency of the solar collectors.
[0050]FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of a solar mirror 17 which may be mounted on top member 10 on the North side of the lamp for the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa for the Southern Hemisphere. When the mirror 17 is incorporated, the solar panel 12 for the North (or South) side is rotated upward on hinges 16 to allow the mirror 17 to be deployed by rotating outward on hinges 19, as illustrated. The solar panel 12 is then rotated back to the closed position to receive the solar energy reflected by the mirror 17. Mirror hinges 19 are provided with extension rails 19a which are slidably retained by extension tracks 11a to allow the mirror 17 to be moved a short distance away from the top member 10 to avoid masking of the solar radiation by the top member. The mirror is provided for use during the winter months when the elevation of the sun is lowest and masking effects of the top member are greatest.

Q4 2012 Earnings Call
April 04, 2013 11:00 am ET
David E. Ullman - Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Executive Vice President
R. Neal Black - Chief Executive Officer, President and Director
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Fourth Quarter 2012 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] And as a reminder, this call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to our host, Mr. David Ullman, Please go ahead.
David E. Ullman
Good morning, everybody. This is David Ullman, CFO of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers. I'm here with Neal Black, our President and CEO.
I will provide a financial overview and Neal will provide commentary on the business, and we will address some questions we have received recently.
Before we get started, I need to read this statement, that our statements concerning future operations contained on this call are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this presentation, the words estimate, project, plan, will, anticipate, expect, intend, outlook, may, believe, goal, attempt, assume, potential, should and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. Actual results may differ materially from those forecasted due to a variety of factors outside of our control that can affect our operating results, liquidity and financial condition.
Such factors include risks associated with economic, weather, public health and other factors affecting consumer spending, including negative changes to consumer confidence and other recessionary pressures; higher energy and security costs; the successful implementation of our growth strategy, including our ability to finance our expansion plans; the mix and pricing of goods sold; the effectiveness and profitability of new concepts; the market price of key raw materials, such as wool and cotton; seasonality; merchandise trends and changing consumer preferences; the effectiveness of our marketing programs, including compliance with relevant legal requirements; the availability of suitable lease sites for new stores; doing business on an international basis; the ability to source products from our global supplier base; legal and regulatory matters; and other competitive factors.
The identified risk factors and other factors and risks that may affect our business or future financial results are detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2012. These risks should be carefully reviewed before making any investment decisions. These cautionary statements qualify all of the forward-looking statements we make on this call. We cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by us will be realized, or even if substantially realized, that those results or developments will result in the expected consequences for us or affect us, our business or our operations in the way we expect.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their respective dates. We do not undertake an obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in our assumptions, estimates or projections.
The following presentation includes information regarding sales to date in the current quarter. These interim period sales are not necessarily indicative of sales expected for the full quarter. Furthermore, sales are just one component of earnings, and no projection of earnings should be inferred from any discussion of interim period sales or other data in this presentation.
Turning to the financial report. For the year, we had a 7.1% sales gain. You can see on the income statement that sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time with a gain of more than $69 million over last year. However, with the gross profit rate decline of 380 basis points, we were not able to push the sales gains to the bottom line. As such, gross profit dollars grew to $612 million, which is an increase of $3.5 million compared to fiscal year 2011. We estimate that approximately 3/4 of the gross profit -- gross margin rate decline relates to higher cost of products with the remainder relating to lower retail prices.
Net income in 2012 was $79.7 million compared with $97.5 million in 2011, which represents an 18% decrease. The company previously announced that net income for fiscal year 2012 was expected to be approximately 20% lower than net income for fiscal year 2011.
Earnings were $2.84 per diluted share in fiscal year 2012 compared with $3.49 per share -- per diluted share in 2011.
So while we were still very profitable with net income at 7.6% of sales, we were not able to achieve the record earnings we set in fiscal year 2011.
For the year, comparable store sales decreased 0.5%, 0.5%, compared to increases of 7.6% in 2011 and 7.0% in 2010. The 0.5% decrease in comp store sales was a result of reduced traffic while dollars per transaction increased. The total sales increase of 7.1% in fiscal year 2012 was mostly attributable to the opening of 46 stores in 2012, and the 22.7% increase in Direct Marketing sales. Of the major product categories, dress shirts have the greatest unit gains while suits and sportswear had modest overall gains. We saw meaningful shift in our business to Tailored Fit and Slim Fit products compared to the Traditional Fit products.
The full year 2012 sales and marketing costs increased $36.9 million to $409.2 million. The $36.9 million increase in 2012 compared to last year relates primarily to growth of the company's store base and sales, as well as an increase in advertising costs. The primary increases in sales and marketing costs are from the following 4 categories: one, we had a $9.0 million increase of additional store and Direct Marketing payroll and benefits; two, we had $11.3 million of additional occupancy costs; three, we had $13.6 million increase in our total advertising; and four, we had a $3.0 million increase in our other variable selling costs.
The full year G&A costs decreased $2.4 million to $74.2 million in 2012. The decrease relates primarily to $2.9 million of lower corporate compensation, including a reduction of total company bonus and $0.5 million of higher other corporate overhead costs.
Net interest income was $0.4 million for 2012 compared to flat in fiscal year 2011. The improvement is related to lower interest expense in 2012 while interest income was slightly higher.
Tax expense decreased $12.8 million to $49.1 million in 2012, mostly as a result of lower profits. The tax rate was 38.1% in 2012, which is 70 basis points lower than the tax rate in 2011.
Our inventory increased 8.5% compared to the end of 2011, which is in line with our sales gain. Neal will discuss the cost trends of inventory and our expectations for 2013 in greater detail later.
We used approximately $35.6 million on capital expenditures in 2012, primarily on the following 3 items: one, we had the opening of 46 new stores, including the addition of 10 Factory Stores; two, the relocation and/or renovation of several stores; and three, the implementation of various systems and infrastructure projects.
In fiscal year 2013, we expect to spend a range of approximately $42 million to $46 million on capital expenditures. These expenditures will cover the opening of approximately 40 to 45 new stores, the renovation and the relocation of several stores, the implementation of various systems and infrastructure projects, including the initial phase to implement a new POS system and the maintenance and expansion of our distribution capacity.
I will now turn the call over to Neal Black, our President and CEO.
R. Neal Black
Thanks, Dave. And good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to start by saying that in 2012 at Joseph A. Bank, sales were up and profits were still good, but not up to our standards nor at the record level of last year. Net income was still a healthy 7.6% of sales. We did break through the $1 billion annual sales milestone for the first time, we opened 46 new stores, including our 600th store, we had a double-digit sales increase in Direct Marketing sales and we continued to maintain strong cash flows and a solid balance sheet.
The up-and-down results which characterized the first 3 quarters of 2012 were followed by a weak fourth quarter ending with full year results that were both weaker than the prior year and weaker than planned.
On the top line, we achieved a 7.1% net sales increase for the full year 2012 and Direct Marketing sales were up 22.7% for fiscal year 2012 as compared to fiscal year 2011.
When combined as a measure of comp business, comp store sales and Internet sales were up 2% for the year. However, comp store sales alone were down slightly 0.5%. Comp store sales were down in both November and December, resulting in a weak holiday selling season.
The overall sales picture was one of volatility, and strong promotional activity had been having our sales increases. Some outside the influences such as Hurricane Sandy, which hit along the East Coast where many of our largest-volume regions are located negatively impacted the beginning of November and was followed by the distractions of the national election and then the fiscal cliff negotiations. And this was not exactly a good backdrop for putting our customers in the shopping mood. We believe that our customers who work in business or government are sensitive to political and economic turmoil. Our additional advertising drove additional sales, but not enough to offset the reduced margin resulting from more aggressive promotions.
We've done exhaustive analysis of our advertising spend, our media plan, our pricing and our merchandise assortment. We know what happened to us, and we have a plan to test corrections, alternative pricing, different media plans and new merchandise items throughout the first half of 2013 in order to attempt to get a better result in holiday '13 and for the full year '13.
In 2012, sales of dress shirts have the largest unit increases while sales of suits and sportswear had modest unit increases. Sales of the more luxurious Signature and Signature Gold lines represented over 30% of our total merchandise sales for the year. As I stated earlier, Direct Marketing sales were up 22.7% and accounted for approximately 11.4% of our total sales for the year. We have a continually evolving presentation on the Internet that continues to gain increasing customer traffic. While many of our marketing offers on the Internet mirror the offers in the retail stores during the quarter, we continue to refine our techniques for driving customer traffic onto our website and converting that traffic into sales transactions.
In 2012, we employed not only additional markdowns and promotional offers to drive traffic and sales, but also additional marketing, which was less productive as Internet marketing costs continued to increase. Even though the results were less productive, we're pleased with the 22.7% sales increase and our goal going forward is to find ways to deliver these sales and improve margins.
Our proprietary database of active customers for both stores and Internet grew 14% for the fiscal year 2012 versus the fiscal year 2011 and now totals 4.1 million active customers. In 2012, we continue to experience a shift in the age of our average customer who is getting slightly younger over time.
The gross profit margin declined 380 basis points in the fiscal year due primarily to increased markdowns and higher merchandise costs. The increased merchandise costs that resulted from the increases in cotton and wool raw materials in 2011 are flowing through our inventory and we believe that they peaked in the fourth quarter of 2012. At the same time, we used more markdowns and progressively more aggressive promotional activity as we previously discussed to drive the top line sales. We expected to achieve sales increases with this formula and those additional sales did not materialize. So we are adjusting our pricing strategies and our marketing spends going forward in order to attempt to achieve a more profitable balance.
Controlling merchandise costs without deterioration of quality remains a top priority. We expect our product costs to decline modestly later in 2013. However, cost declines are not directly following the declines in the commodity prices of raw materials. Increases in other costs such as manufacturing, labor and currency valuations appear to be offsetting some of the commodity declines. We continue to seek the lowest cost in the world for the high qualities that we demand.
Our inventory was up 8.5% at the end of fiscal 2012 as compared to the end of fiscal 2011. We fully annualized the carrying over of unsold cold weather merchandise from 2011 into 2012. The inventory was rightsized for the 2012 season with a combination of go-forward carryover and new purchases. However, we did not have a good cold weather selling season in 2012 with the weather being warm again. And we are carrying forward into '13 similar levels of go-forward cold weather merchandise as we carried from 2011 into 2012. Clearance styles are being liquidated and go-forward styles will remain in inventory and will reduce 2013 purchases just as we did in 2012. Normal cold weather in 2013 should break this cycle.
Our internal growth initiatives remain the same, and here again is the list of our 5 growth initiatives and an update: First, we continue to focus on driving additional revenue through our Internet website. We completed the software upgrade in 2012 and continue to invest in keeping the consumer functionality current. A significant percentage of our sales are now being transacted by our customers on their tablet devices. Our biggest challenge is the rapid increase of Internet marketing costs particularly with vendors like Google. We'll be focused in 2013 on keeping the growth of marketing costs more in line with the growth in revenue. We continue with other efforts including product expansions, new promotional activity, international shipping tablet and mobile formats and social marketing in conjunction with our ongoing affiliate programs. Our international -- our international shipping functionality is working well, and we have successfully shipped orders to over 70 different countries worldwide.
Second, we continue to grow our tuxedo rental program. We are pleased with the results in 2012. We improved our results substantially versus the prior year and the business contributed positively to sales and net income. Although it was not big enough to report separately, our core business still accounts for the vast majority of our comp store sales. We expect that the tuxedo rental business will continue to grow and become a significant business in stores in future years.
Third, we continue to grow our business in Big, Tall and Regal size extensions, and we are achieving our goals with most of the effort and results being in our Direct Marketing segment where we have room to show and explain the whole product assortment. With all of the attention being currently -- paid currently to fit, the Big, Tall and Regal fits are becoming part of our overall fit story that includes our traditional classic fit, our modern tailored fit and our youthful slim fit. Big, Tall and Regal fits allow us to capitalize on the slogan, We Can Fit Almost Everyone.
Fourth, we continue to open Factory Stores. We opened 10 in 2012, and we continue to find that we are reaching new customers that, for the most part, do not shop with us in our Full-line stores. We are happy with our overall results and the business is contributing positively to net income. And we plan to add at least 7 more stores in 2013 as long as real estate opportunities become available.
And fifth is new Full-line store openings. In 2012, we opened 36 new Full-line stores. When combined with the 10 new Factory Stores, that's a total of 46 new stores plus expansions and relocations in 2012, which was an increase in our retail square footage of approximately 9% over 2011. We continue to focus on both filling into existing markets and on new markets. We expect to open stores in 2013 at approximately the same pace as 2012 and we are confirming our revised long-term store count goal to operate approximately 700 Full-line Joseph A. Bank stores and 100 Factory Stores in the U.S.A. The timing of achieving this total of 800 stores is dependent on real estate availability and other economic factors, so we will continue to announce future store counts by year approximately 12 months in advance.
In conclusion, our goal is to deliver net income and increase that net income every year. We have built a business model that allows us the flexibility to achieve increases in net income in a variety of ways depending on the circumstances at any given time. To deliver good results in 2013, we'll need to be able to get our gross margin rate going back up towards previous levels. We'll need to get productivity on our advertising spend going back up towards previous levels. We'll need to control expenses, maintain quality, keep our existing customers happy and continue to add new customers. We think we're up to the task. Sales so far in the first quarter of 2013 are up, but we're cautious because a lot of the quarter sales remain and we're not through the shift in the Easter holiday. We will continue to focus on an aggressively sourced, high-quality, well-balanced, fully stocked assortment that is promoted with timely marketing and sold by knowledgeable professionals in convenient locations.
And we look forward to speaking to you again when we report our first quarter results.
Now I'll turn the call back to Dave Ullman who has some questions that were asked of us recently.
Question-and-Answer Session
David E. Ullman
Thanks, Neal. And we do have 5 questions that we have -- that have been posed by various analysts. And I'll start with the first one, which is your Direct Marketing sales were up 22.7% for the year while comp store sales were down 0.5%. What was different in your marketing activities in the Direct Segment to drive such a large sales increase?
R. Neal Black
Well, the Direct Marketing business, which is mostly on the Internet was quite strong at the top line. The interest thing about great direct marketing sales is that we're selling the same merchandising using most of the same promotional strategies online as we're using in the stores and getting a great result. That points us more towards making changes in the stores marketing and gives us continuing confidence in the merchandise assortment.
David E. Ullman
Okay, the second question. You mentioned that you have analyzed your 2012 marketing spend and are testing changes in the first half of 2013. Can you provide additional insight into this process and the marketing tests and/or changes you are performing? Will this reflect a change in your promotional business model?
R. Neal Black
We're running a high-low promotional pricing model that's been in place since long before this management team came to the company. We believe that it's part of the DNA of the brand. It's old school and we've learned how to be very good at it. We started adding a lot of extra promotional activities starting in 2008 when the economy got bad. I think we reached the limit of the effectiveness of that in 2012. Now rather than just focusing on price, we will also focus on our quality, our total value equation, our shopping experience and our brand. These changes will require testing and will be gradual and will take time. So the business model remains the same, but the marketing will be evolving.
David E. Ullman
Okay, the third question. You stated that sales of dress shirts had the largest unit increases while sales of suits and sportswear had modest unit increases. Can you provide more color into the performance of the various categories of products?
R. Neal Black
Right now, we're in a suit cycle. There's a lot of attention to fit. Shirts are the first add-on in a suit transaction so there's a lot of attention there, too. In casual wear, I believe that we got a bit too casual in 2012. Right now, in our stores you'll see a renewed emphasis on casual wear that's meant to be worn to work in a business casual environment as opposed to weekend wear. That's our focus in casual for 2013 and it's closer to the essence of our brand.
David E. Ullman
Okay, the fourth question. You have opened 135 stores over the past 3 years, which is more than 20% of the total store base. How are the new stores performing?
R. Neal Black
We have been really pleased with the performance of our new stores over the last several years right out of the box for both Full-line and Factory Stores. Our real estate formula is refined and very effective.
David E. Ullman
And the last question. You have previously discussed your commitment to increasing the Tailored Fit and Slim Fit products. Can you give us additional insight into the trends of the business in Tailored Fit and Slim Fit?
R. Neal Black
These modern fits are performing extremely well and are the focus of all of our new product innovation. With a finite number of a potential suit customers available, one of the biggest opportunities for us is with our existing loyal customers about whom we know a lot. Our opportunity is to turn over their wardrobes and replace what's hanging in their closets with updated fits. The beauty of our Tailored Fit model is that it will fit most guys and give them a more modern look. Add the Slim Fit model for a younger, thinner and perhaps new customer, and for the right fashion present -- position in the market, and we've got the winning combination for a great 2013.
David E. Ullman
Okay, so that was the last question. And thanks again, everyone, for joining us this morning. On behalf of the more than 6,000 associates at Joseph A. Bank, we appreciate your interest in Jos. A. Bank Clothiers as both a shareholder and as a customer. And we look forward to talking to you after the first quarter. Take care, and have a great day. Operator, can you please provide the instructions at this time?

Nokia Confirms Symbian to Fade Away
Mark Kurlyandchik
March 28, 2011 3:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Introduces new typeface and branding in effort to move forward
It's no secret that, even before
Nokia announced its "strategic partnership" with Microsoft
, the most popular mobile OS on the planet, Symbian, was
in the midst
a slow death
. But the deal to bring Windows Phone 7 to Nokia devices certainly had a big impact in
accelerating Symbian's decline
Nokia's VP Purnima Kochikar has confirmed that Symbian will likely just fade away
in an open letter to developers
, despite the fact that there are a number of Symbian-based devices in the pipeline during the "transition period" of 2011-2012.
"In many markets, including markets where Symbian is currently the lead smartphone platform with significant market share such as China, India, Russia and Turkey, we will continue to make our Symbian portfolio as competitive as possible while we work with Microsoft to introduce Windows Phone," the letter says.
But when pressed to give a cut-off for the OS, Kochikar equivocates: "We cannot give you the date when Symbian will no longer be supported.
"Our intention is that when users come to the end of the natural lifecycle of their Symbian device they will make the change to a Nokia Windows Phone device and so it would not be in our interests to undermine their Nokia smartphone experience."
Meanwhile, Nokia has begun a rebranding phase, starting with
a new font and look for promotional materials
. The new font, dubbed "Nokia Pure" is meant to look, well, "pure and simple." The flow of the letters is intended to create "the impression of forward movement."
In addition to promotional materials, the new font will be used on Nokia devices.
According to the Nokia blog
, the font has been designed specifically for use in mobile and digital environments.
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes

There was a drought in the United Stats and crop prices were up. Then one day it rained in New York and all the crop prices dropped. But the funny thing is it only rained in New York . mbbf49a I like your post,and your not a dumbass. I can tell you right now expecting facts from this board is like hollering down a well. This is about China! China! China! and Agriculture! and Monsanto! Ask them about SEED and they either curse or call you a basher...and I'm long at least until Monday...and I don't know why I'm long either except...China! China! China! and Agriculture! and Monsanto!...but at least I know I'm a dumbass.
lets be honest its all bull crap thats why they keep saying it over and over and different kinds of bull crap til the majority of the people believe it when it has nothing to do with it in the first place thats why this whole system works so well is because people are so confident that they "think" they know whats going on so they use that confidence to throw around their hard earned money on random news.

Hot Licks: Double Bass On Record
Ginger Baker
Ginger Baker had a jazz background and brought an improvisational spirit to his drumming with Cream, but will forever be remembered as the man who cemented double bass in rock history. He used a kit very similar to Bellson's, except that he included a larger bass drum for his left foot, which created two distinct pitches in his double bass work. Thanks to such classic moments as the double bass torrent during the fade-out of "Sunshine Of Your Love," his bass drum patterns remain staples of drum solos today.
On this excerpt from Cream's classic drum solo tune "Toad," we see Baker begin with a broken double bass groove that segues into the alternating sixteenth-note pattern he solos over. He anchors eighth-notes with his hands playing different melodic patterns before breaking into triplet patterns at the end. Though Cream's 2005 reunion concert DVD has very little double bass in that version of "Toad," it reminds us that Baker is a drummer with a plethora of ideas and stylistic influences.

A home run hat trick for Hart
Brewers' outfielder breaks out of drought with three blasts, seven RBI
Before the game, an already frustrated Corey Hart was having "probably one of my worst batting practices I've had all year."
Never afraid to tinker with his stance when things don't feel right, the Milwaukee Brewers' rightfielder made one last change before he exited the batting cage and decided to take that one into the game.
It proved to be a keeper.
Breaking loose in dramatic fashion, Hart smacked three home runs and tied the franchise record with seven runs batted in to propel the Brewers to an 11-3 romp Monday night over the Washington Nationals at Miller Park. Not bad for a player who entered the game with no homers and one RBI in 76 at-bats this season.
Combined with a strong starting performance by right-hander Yovani Gallardo, Hart's outburst sent the Brewers to their fourth consecutive victory and seventh in a row at home, boosting their National League-best home record to 17-6.
Hart's career night was a long time coming. After missing the entire exhibition season and the first three weeks of the season with a lingering oblique strain, he struggled mightily to find the stroke that allowed him to establish career bests of 31 homers and 102 RBI last season.
After only 15 at-bats on minor-league rehab with Class AAA Nashville, Hart told the Brewers he was ready to rejoin the club. He obviously wasn't but said he wouldn't do it differently if given another chance.
"I felt like I was supposed to be here," he said. "It was rough, being in Triple-A and being home watching the guys. I would much rather try to figure it out here than work on things down there.
"It's been rough, but the team has been playing better so the focus hasn't been on me. That helped because the other guys have been playing well."
Hart began to feel better at the plate in recent weeks and even put together a 10-game hitting streak earlier in the month. But several long drives went nowhere on the last road trip in the damp conditions and spacious ballparks in Los Angeles and San Diego, and the feeling began to slip away.
After going 0 for 10 in the first two games of the weekend series against Colorado, Hart was given Sunday off against tough right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez. Manager Ron Roenicke recognizes a player who needs to back off when he sees one.
"I think he needed it," said Roenicke. "After talking to him Saturday night after the game, he was a little frustrated.
"Corey is a streaky hitter and (hitting coach) Dale (Sveum) keeps telling me he's going to find it and when he finds it, he's going to do this kind of stuff."
Sometimes a player will fight to stay in the lineup, but Hart knew better.
"Yesterday was a good off day to try to work on things," he said. "I told Ron it was very beneficial.
"It's tough trying to battle during the season. I've been working on things with Dale, hoping things are going to come around. Today was a good turning point."
Hart wasted no time turning things around, booming a two-run homer to center in the first inning on a 1-0 changeup from lefty Tom Gorzelanny. After walking in the third inning, he struck against Gorzelanny again in the fifth, mashing another two-run shot on an 0-1 fastball, this time to left.
Hart turned a very good night into a great one in the eighth inning. Left-handed reliever Doug Slaten was summoned to face him with two on and two out, and Hart greeted him with a no-doubter to left to cap his brilliant performance and earn a curtain call from the 22,906 on hand.
No Brewer had slugged three home runs in a game since May 21, 2003, almost eight years to the day when Geoff Jenkins did it against San Diego. Hart became the fifth player in franchise history to knock in seven runs in a game and the first since Damian Miller on July 2, 2007, in Pittsburgh.
"It's been a learning experience," said Hart. "I've been going out there and trying to figure it out daily. I've been going crazy. Having just one RBI was more bothersome than anything. It's nice to throw a few out there."
No one was more appreciative than Gallardo (6-2), who limited the Nationals to five hits and one run over seven innings while logging nine strikeouts. Over his last four starts, Gallardo is 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA.
"It's huge," said Gallardo. "We all know what he's capable of doing. He showed it tonight. It was good to see that. Hopefully, he'll keep it up."

Concussions have become an unfortunate part of the modern NFL narrative. Increased awareness in combination with mass lawsuits have brought the NFL's concussion conundrum into every sport fan's living room.
Last week, three starting quarterbacks—Jay Cutler, Michael Vick and Alex Smith—suffered significant concussions, consequently forcing each to sit out of Week 11 action.
Week 11 was no different than the previous week, as the league was once again concussion-stricken. Per usual, other non-concussion injuries occurred, creating issues for many NFL teams.
So which teams were stung the worst by the injury bug in Week 11?

The future of dental service regulation
Dental health in England is improving, yet there are significant challenges to face.
Along with CQC, the NHS, Department of Health and General Dental Council (GDC) all manage and regulate certain aspects of dentistry.
We have all collaborated and consulted to consider how the burden of regulation in dentistry might be reduced, whilst still providing the protection that the public rightly expect.
This report assesses how regulation works now and proposes a way forward so dental regulation is more coherent, streamlined and effective.
Regulation of Dental Services Programme Board
The report identified seven areas of improvement. The intended outputs and delivery dates for these workstreams are:
- Roles and responsibilities: define for regulators and partners across the dental system, and implement a joint working protocol between GDC, NHS England and CQC. (October 2016)
- Joined-up model for regulation:
- define a clear model for dental service regulation (April 2016)
- implement this model with a clear framework for risk assessment/methodology (April 2017)
- Data and intelligence: improve information and sharing between regulators and partners. (April 2016)
- Complaints: define a system with recognised roles for complaints handling, supported by clear signposting processes. (October 2016)
- Support for quality improvement: define the system and process within the dental sector, including the role of key stakeholders in improvement. (October 2016)
- Communication with providers: develop a system and process for regular and joined up conversation across the sector. (July 2016)
- Communication with the public: develop a proactive and regular approach to keeping people up-to-date. (October 2016)
You can share your thoughts and feedback on this work by taking part in our online discussion.
You need to be a member of our online community to take part; join the CQC online community. You can also share your thoughts with us or contact the board and workstreams by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mr(s). Smarty Plants Joins Wildflower Hour
Spreading native plant wisdom the way bees spread pollen, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is now answering tough gardening questions as Mr. Smarty Plants hits the radio waves.
Radio host Tom Spencer has hosted an hour-long gardening program on the KLBJ station for 27 years�he is also the host of KLRU�s Central Texas Gardener. In September of 2009, he started focusing the show on native plant gardening with input from the Wildflower Center. Now named the �Wildflower Hour,� Spencer�s program discusses local gardening techniques and problems at 8 a.m. every Saturday on News Radio 590 AM.
�My passion has always been native plants, so I wanted the show to focus on that. And I wanted to help the Center out-- it�s an institution that I support. It�s a great combination, talking about my favorite gardening topic and supporting something I really believe in,� said Spencer.
Every other week, Spencer features a native plant selected by Center staff, one that is a good selection for this region and this season. On some Saturdays, a Center staff member is on-air to talk about the plant. On alternative weeks, Mr. Smarty Plants dispenses sage wisdom over the air, answering real questions submitted to the Center. Mr. Smarty Plants has been answering questions since 1982, first over snail mail before going online in 2003. Starting off as an �Ask the Expert� feature, a brainstorming session in 2005 remodeled the expert to create Mr. Smarty Plants, the green guru, with his own �snazzier� logo. In 28 years of advice giving, over 5,220 questions have been answered nationwide, with the last 4,000 being sent in during the last 3 years. While Mr. Plants may seem to have taken on a masculine persona, don�t let the �Mr.� fool you � he actually represents a team of volunteers of both genders that researches topics and answers for confused gardeners.
�I think people are enjoying the segment very much. So far there�s been good feedback,� Spencer said.
This beacon of gardening reason is voiced by Barbra Medford, who aims to bring practical advice and a bit of humor to Mr. Smarty Plants� segment. Answering questions like �When is the best time to plant wildflower seeds in central Texas?� she dishes out information and laughs with answers like �You can plant the seeds whenever you want. Can I guarantee they�ll grow? Well, no.� �I�m addicted to it. My computer calls me every morning to see if someone has answered something or sent in another question,� Medford said. �And I do it for fun. I try to insert humor in to everything that I do.�
Anyone can submit questions to Mr. Smarty Plants by accessing the Center�s website on www.wildflower.org and clicking on the �Mr. Smarty Plants� link on the �Explore Plants� drop down menu.
Gardeners of all shapes and sizes can tune in for valuable information about the plants sprouting around them and hear advice on how to grow their own gardens every Saturday from 8 to 9 a.m. on station KLBJ 590 AM. With the team of Spencer and Mr. Smarty Plants on the job, every native plant problem should be solved�or nearly.
�I�ve learned more than anyone else doing this,� Medford said. �We do research, sometimes we make mistakes, but we keep on helping people however we can.�

File Cabinets & Hutches
Almost everyone has plenty of papers like letters, owner's manuals, bills and all kinds of other hard copies of important documents, and life seems so much smoother when these elements are properly organized. Without a place to put things though, all those documents pile up and can even get lost, always at the time when it seems like you need them most. To help you tackle your organizing needs like a pro, Pottery Barn offers a variety of file cabinets and hutches. Our filing cabinets come in a variety of sizes and styles that blend in with your decor and make the most effective possible use of your available space. Our hutches come in different styles too, such as tall bookcase hutches and smaller, more portable pieces that rest on your desktop and provide a decorative way to organize almost anything small.
Whether you're decorating a large space or a small one, your level of organization plays a big role in how productive you are. In a large space, you can easily set up a sturdy hutch or wall-sized cabinet to store and display your favorite things and the items you need for work. In a smaller home office, you may not have the luxury of extra floor space that lets you take advantage of large cabinet. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy an organized work area; use smaller pieces, such as a small hardwood filing cabinet, a desktop hutch or a small bookcase, to make the most of the space you have available.
A filing cabinet is typically not the most decorative piece of furniture in a bedroom, den or home office, but the stylish file cabinets we offer provide decorative qualities and durability to go along with the functionality you get when using this type of home furnishing piece. For extra convenience, position a cabinet near your desk so you don't even have to get up from your desk chair to retrieve necessary documents when you're working or studying.
Inspiration can come slowly when your work environment is dull or disorganized, and you might not always be able to do much to dress up your office away from home. Fortunately, it's so easy to add vibrancy and organization to your home workspace with our office collections. Match your desk, chair, cabinets and stands to create a unified theme. Then, display a beautiful mirror and your favorite decorative pieces above your desk to enjoy plenty of inspiration while you tackle important tasks.

Quote:I also have a question: it's probably going to take me an hour or so every lower body session. Is the calf raise really neccessary... I mean, does the squat to that bit. I don't think it does, but just thought I'd check.
Quote:My other question is whether it matters that I'm spending an hour in there; I mean, I tend to hear that you should keep it to about 45 mins, but the squat alone takes 35 minutes!
Quote:So whaddya think? I look forward to responses, if anyone actually reads my ramblings anymore...

With Left Eye Lisa Lopes to be resurrected on-screen By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Apr 26, 2012 10:56 AM CDT 2 comments Comments In this March 4, 2000 file photo, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of the group TLC poses backstage at the 14th Annual Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello) View 3 more images (Newser) – Tupac isn't the only artist experiencing a resurrection: Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes will appear with her TLC bandmates in an upcoming reunion tour, despite the fact that she died 10 years ago, the group's rep tells TMZ. Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas are currently planning the tour, which will take place this year in the US. Lopes' vocals will be incorporated into the live show, and her image will be projected onto a large screen. The group will use archival footage rather than digitally creating a new performance, Billboard notes. "The word anniversary means a celebration. For us, her death will never be a celebration, it's still something that hurts," Watkins says in a statement. Adds Thomas, "Lisa is our sister. You never get over losing a family member. We love her and we miss her and that isn't ever going to change." View 3 more images
