SCTTO001: 5" Tanto Knife
Scorpion Knives
Tanto knives originated in the Far East. Tanto simply means short sword in Japanese. Tanto knives have a very distinctive blade that is designed for two important qualities: strength and a sharp point. The point of the Tanto blade is thin enough to puncture or stab but it has the thickness to withstand the toughest use.
Many other knife styles have very thin points which makes them great for stabbing or puncturing but make the knife vulnerable to breaking or cracking, especially at the tip. The Tanto knife has a point that is thin enough to puncture or stab but it is reinforced and thick enough to withstand rigorous torture testing.
The Scorpion Knives Tanto has a hollow ground blade with a thick spine that tapers down to a razor thin cutting edge. The blade is high-carbon, high-chromium D2 steel giving exceptional longevity and good edge retention in the most arduous of conditions. It is finished in black DuPont Teflon for ease of maintenance.
The standard grip is the same as that used on probably the most popular hand gun in the world - the 1911 Browning pistol. This single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge was designed by John M. Browning and was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985. It was also used by the British Army and many others. Manufactured by ERGO of the USA, the 1911 pistol grip handle on this knife is available in Black, Coyote Brown or Green.
The Tanto is available with a 3" (7.6 cm) or 5" (12.7 cm) black blade and comes with a high quality cordura sheath and lanyard.
- Blade Length: 5" (12.7 cm)
- Blade Material: D2 Tool Steel, Black DuPont Teflon Coating

- Overall Length: 10.25" (26.0 cm)

UPC Code: 016846
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.
This is a high carbon steel that is appropriate for use in hostile environments and is known for edge retention.

I took Erika Langley's evocative portrait of our favorite local strip joint with me on my vacation last week, and found it to be beautifully written, uncompromising, amusing, heart breaking, uplifting, erotic, and frustrating. The pictures were wonderful, of course, but I found myself wishing for the larger, higher quality prints I saw in the King County Arts Commission show a few years ago, and then maybe for a new wing on my house to hang them in.
My best guess is that Ms. Langley is telling it like it is, without either a lot of sanitizing or dramatizing. The much vaunted women managers come off pretty human, with their policies ranging from good to bad to silly. There are a lot of very funny comments by the author, other dancers, and the patrons. Some of the dancer's biographies include grim tales of abuse which some transcend and others don't. Without dwelling on the irony, Candy Girl notes that she left prostitution to dance at the Double L when she got old enough to work there.
Langley writes about one customer with an abnormally thick penis. She asks him if he has ever found a woman who could take it. The simple "no" of his answer is funny at first, until the implicit loneliness of his situation sinks in.
It was good to hear that many of the women feel OK about the work and use the Lusty Lady to as a source of income to move the rest of their lives forward. The impression Langley leaves us with is that there is wide variation in the education, class, and goals of the Lusty Lady workers. It is also good to hear that the women have friends, lovers, and occasionally parents who are comfortable with their being sex workers.
Woven into the interviews and pictures are Langley's comments on her own attitudes toward her fellow dancers and customers and how they changed with time over the four years she spent dancing. She relates how working the Private Pleasure show, which allows more verbal interaction with the customers, was both repulsive and a source of personal growth. Simply and poignantly, she chronicles the discovery of her own capacity to be bisexual and polyamorous.
It is a little less pleasant to hear that the women at the Lusty Lady find the demands and masturbation practices of the customers to be unsettling, rude, or disgusting. It is clear that the Lusty Lady clientele is willing to spend money and risk social disapproval to view nude women and masturbate. What does it mean to say that the women who provide the service are OK, but the men that accept the service are not OK?
There is a lot of speculation among the dancers and the Lusty Lady management about what the male customers want from the show. To some extent the customers vote with their quarters. However, it is not clear to me that the dancers interpret what men want successfully. The Lusty Lady does ask for customer feedback, and some of that is presented in the book. However, the dancers make assumptions about the motivations and intentions of the male clients which might not always be warranted.
I am not aware of any studies on the clients of adult theaters that includes the sort of in depth interviews that Langley has done with her dancer colleagues. While such interviews are clearly beyond the scope of her current work, they would make a good project for someone.

Summer vacation has started, and for many parents that brings concerns about children being home alone.
Here are some tips to prepare the kids and give you some peace of mind:
- Make sure that your children, and possibly a neighbor, know how to reach you in case of emergency. Make sure important telephone numbers such as your number at work, your doctor, a neighbor or family member, and police are written down and placed on the refrigerator door where they can be seen.
- Many children stay with their older siblings, but remember: Teenagers are children, too. They may be mature enough to watch over the little ones, but they are still kids at heart. So give them strict rules to follow, and write them down. Sit with your older children and discuss exactly what their responsibility entails, including that they are not to have any friends over, unless it's with your permission.
- Call home at least two times a day. Tell the children not to answer calls from anyone but you.
- Tell the children that if anyone knocks, they should answer with a strong voice, "Who is it?" and, unless they know who it is, they must not open the door. Recently, some thieves were caught knocking on doors to find out if anyone was home. When someone answered, then they would make some excuse, such as, "Oh, sorry, wrong house," and go away. The lesson here: Don't keep quiet if someone knocks. If you have a grandparent or baby sitter, remind them also of this. It will prevent the possibility of someone trying to break in. Advise your child or caretaker to call the police if the visitor refuses to leave or something doesn't look right or suspicious.
- Show the children where to exit in case of fire, including how to unlock the window, if you have special locks or iron bars. Show them how to use the burglar alarm if you have one, especially if it's programmed for emergencies. If you have a pool, and if you have little ones, make sure that the gates are up and locked. The same goes if you live near a canal. Every year, children drown because they sneak off before anyone notices.

I have had MULTIPLE issues where the right contact is either ripped after a day or two, on occasion they last 10 days...NOT worth the price. Even contacted CooperVision with complaints...they say I must have my Optometrist submit the complaint. I am looking for a more durable contact...if anyone knows of anything, PLEASE post it!

I have worn Frequency 55 Toric lenses for about 8 years, or as long as they have been on the market if it hasn't been that long. My Dr. put me on Proclears for moisture content and what not. I've only worn them for a day but I think that I hate them. I have to squint to get 100% focus, and they are not near as comfortable as my Frequency lenses. (I am bad about wearing my lenses too long, so I am not overly easy on them) I will be asking to go back to Frequencies.

Dishonored - Review @ RPGCodex
A review of Dishonored showed up at RPGCodex describing its good and not so good points while recommending it to anyone who likes mission-based first person games with a focus on exploration and alternate ways to solve each mission
Due to the many different gameplay approaches Dishonored offers, it is also a very replayable game. You can play it as a pure stealth game, ghosting through the levels without killing anyone, or you can take your pistol and your sword and play it as an action game. The best thing about this is that your gameplay style actually affects the ending: the amount of people you kill directly contributes to the game's "chaos level": the more people you kill and havoc you wreak, the higher the chaos level. There are three endings to the game, depending on whether your chaos level is low, medium or high. The chaos level also changes some things in the missions themselves, so you will immediately see the results of your different playstyles. Generally, playing Dishonored as a straight action game will result in high chaos, playing it as a pure stealth game will result in low chaos, while playing it as a sort of hybrid where you stay stealthy and only fight back when you're detected will result in medium chaos. This means that playing through the game three times to see all three endings is actually fun, since the different endings are a direct result of your playstyle, rather than being determined by binary dialogue choices or by siding with one faction or the other.
Information aboutDishonored
SP/MP: Single-player
Setting: Technofantasy
Genre: Shooter-RPG
Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

One problem. Channel 9 is a Microsoft site, so the video would need to be hosted by another site that's not directly affliated with Microsoft, because again that conversation could be construed as Channel 9's opinion about the legal issue and as such it could be convinced as Microsoft's position. I don't know about you, but I don't want Channel9 shut down for some such dumb conversation about the DOJ. Uggh, just typing those letters together depresses me.

Because time is limited, there haven't been any recent updates. However, I wouldn't trade anything for the time i've been able to have with my Fiancee, daughters, and 3rd daughter on the way. Especially since it's Christmas time.
Instead of the tedious process of trying to finish the game, i've instead put my focus on the campaign editor. This provides a number of advantages. Having a creation tool like this will not only streamline the process of getting game content completed on my end, but will also allow others to join in to further speed up the process. Since everything is almost completely menu driven, it should be fairly intuitive for the novice. However, you'll probably need your handy graph paper for the map editor.
When it's ready for a download release, only the Spell Editor will be disabled for now, as the spell system is still under works, and there are many custom spells that are built straight in to the executable, and not part of the data save. So far, the options available will be as follows:
- View existing room settings and descriptions
- Edit existing or create new rooms and descriptions
- List existing monsters/NPCs and view their individual stats
- Edit existing or create new monsters/NPCs
- List existing items and view their individual stats
- Edit existing or create new items
- Items included are Weapons, Armor/Shields, Loot and Treasure
- Permanent items will have limited access (such as potions, chests) allowing you to change stats like price and other elements
- Edit game starting options such as the game introduction, what the hero starts with in regards to equipment, inventory, and what room
- Specify what rooms are listed as shops or trainers
- Specify what items or monsters/NPCs are in certain rooms
At this point, this should provide all the necessary parts in creating your own world that others can explore and find treasure and adventure. I would love to see what other could create from this. Although I would love to add a quest system/editor, because of the time and man power required (both of which I really don't have), this will be something that I think will be released in a future build.
For now i'm hoping to see a working campaign editor for everyone to use before the end of the year.
The RPGWatch community is full of great people that always seem to have excellent input. I always welcome ideas for improvements or new features. Happy Holidays!

You will almost certainly need to have put a line in your Apache
httpd.conf to tell Apache that htsearch (and anything else
in/opt/www/cgi-bin) is to be handled as CGI. Now I'm not very familiar
with Apache, but think this means an entry like
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /opt/www/cgi-bin/
and remember if you add/change your conf file, you need to restart
apache to re-read the config file.
Remember, too, that your webserver is most likely trying to execute the
cgi as user nobody, notwithstanding that you may be logged in as root;
which by the way is a Bad Thing (TM).

The truth may be out, but the passage of time is likely to stand in the way of prosecutions and new inquests, says Julian Knowles QC, Matrix Chambers
Knowles advised the Hillsborough Family Support Group in the Stuart-Smith Inquiry in 1998
If, like me, you went to football matches in the 1970s and 1980s then it is easy to imagine the horror of Hillsborough. I remember often being picked up off the ground by the weight of the surging crowds and pressed forward, fortunately always being released in time. Those who survived the Leppings Lane terrace said it was like that, except the pressure never stopped until it felt like they had been set in concrete.
Until the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report last week, we all thought we knew what happened, and why. After all, Lord Taylor's public inquiry (one of the few that actually achieved something) unequivocally laid the blame for the disaster at the door of the South Yorkshire Police and exonerated Liverpool fans.
There had been a long inquest, which determined that by 3.15pm all the dead had been irretrievably injured, a determination upheld by the High Court in a judicial review.
There had been civil litigation and compensation; a scrutiny of evidence by Lord Justice Stuart-Smith in 1998 brought further material into the public domain; and in 2000 a private prosecution by the families of the two officers in charge on the day held their personal failings up to public scrutiny.
What more was there to know? The answer, it turns out, is a great deal. The report shows how much remained hidden and it is truly shocking. Those responsible for safety at the ground had abjectly failed to recognise the obvious dangers and officers at South Yorkshire Police were obsessed with hooliganism to the exclusion of just about everything else. Those who died were not all beyond help by 3.15pm.
The report also reveals the extent to which South Yorkshire Police manipulated the evidence of its officers before it was given to the Taylor inquiry and how the force's solicitors were intimately involved in the process. While Stuart-Smith LJ had known this, he had not appreciated the full extent of what had happened.
So what should happen now? For the families, nothing less than prosecutions for perverting the course of justice and new inquests will suffice. But I have doubts whether this will be the outcome. The passage of time and the complexity of the process by which the statements were altered are likely to present real difficulties for the DPP when he reviews the report's findings to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute any individuals.
The fact the editing process was done on legal advice will also raise difficulties of LPP which might prove insurmountable. Past attempts to prosecute police officers for perverting the course of justice ended in failure and Keir Starmer QC will, I'm sure, have that firmly in mind.
The Attorney-General should certainly consider ordering new inquests but the passage of time may again preclude such a course of action.
Even if the report proves to be the final chapter for the Hillsborough families, their belief that the truth had not been told has been vindicated. The establishment of the Hillsborough Permanent Archive by the report will stand as their achievement in defeating those who wanted to bury the truth about the tragedy.

Trying the stamp itself as the nation's No. 1 conference yet again, the SEC started the New Year by stomping the Big Ten.
Three Southeastern Conference-Big Ten matchups went the way of the Deep South's pride and joy on Saturday, including a 49-7 victory by No. 15 Alabama against No. 7 Michigan State at Orlando in the Capital One Bowl.
No. 21 Mississippi State routed Michigan 52-14 in the Gator Bowl and Florida came from behind to beat Penn State 37-24 Outback Bowl.
Michigan State's loss was historic. In the 74-year history of The Associated Press college football poll, the seventh-ranked team had never been beaten by such a lopsided score — in any game, not just a bowl game.
The last ranked team to lose a bowl game by a more decisive score was Northwestern on Dec. 30, 2000, when the 18th-ranked Wildcats were beaten 66-17 by No. 9 Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl.
The Big Ten also lost the first bowl game of 2011, when Texas Tech beat Northwestern 45-38 in the TicketCity Bowl, and dropped its most meaningful when TCU beat Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl. That made it an 0-for-5 afternoon for the conference.
The early part of the bowl season had been good for the Big Ten, with Illinois and Iowa both beating Big 12 teams. Maybe Nebraska, which is moving in from the Big 12 next season, losing to Washington in the Holiday Bowl was a sign of things to come.
The SEC got off to an 0-3 start this bowl season, but made up for it when the spotlight came on New Year's Day.
Florida 37, Penn State 24
Urban Meyer walked away from Florida with a win against Joe Paterno, who insists Penn State's disappointing season won't be his last.
Meyer closed out a highly successful six-year run that included a pair of national titles by leading the Gators back from a second-half deficit to beat JoePa's Nittany Lions 37-24.
Omarius Hines and Mike Gillislee ran for touchdowns, Chas Henry kicked three second-half field goals, and Ahmad Black sealed the Outback Bowl win with an 80-yard interception return TD to help Florida (8-5) send Meyer out with a smile.
The 46-year-old coach resigned last month amid health concerns.
Meyer and the 84-year-old Paterno met at midfield for a postgame handshake that was anything but typical. "He said, 'I love you kid,'" Meyer said. "He's the only one who calls me kid. And I love him too."
As for Paterno, he — and his wife and Penn State officials — spent the week leading up to the game repeatedly shooting down rumors that the Outback Bowl could be his last.
He expects to be back for a 46th season with Penn State (7-6). At one point, he called the speculation about his future — including reports that he might be in poor health and had been hospitalized — "ridiculous." He reiterated Friday that he has no plans to retire.
Matt McGloin threw five interceptions for Penn State after only being picked off four times in 174 attempts during the regular season. He finished 17 of 41 for 211 yards and one touchdown.
No. 21 Mississippi State 52, Michigan 14
Chris Relf threw three touchdown passes, Vick Ballard ran for three scores and the Bulldogs overwhelmed the Wolverines.
The 38-point drubbing was the worst bowl loss in Michigan's storied history and may have sealed the fate of Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez. His three-year tenure has been tainted by consecutive losing seasons, NCAA sanctions and late-season slides.
Michigan (7-6) was out of this game early, done in again by a defense that made a middle-of-the-pack Southeastern Conference offense look like a juggernaut.
Relf and Ballard posed problems all day. Relf completed 18 of 23 passes for 281 yards, and added 49 yards on the ground. Ballard ran for 77 yards. The Bulldogs (9-4) finished with 485 yards and punted twice.
No. 15 Alabama 49, No. 7 Michigan State 7
Mark Ingram ran for two scores to break the Alabama career touchdown record, and the Crimson Tide rolled to the most lopsided victory in Capital One Bowl history.
The 2009 Heisman winner had 59 yards rushing against the team he rooted for as a kid, Greg McElroy threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, and Alabama (10-3) pulled most of its starters in the third quarter. Ingram moved past Shaun Alexander's mark (41) with 42 career touchdowns.
The Crimson Tide found the end zone on their first four possessions, held the Spartans (11-2) to 171 total yards and sacked Kirk Cousins four times in their best performance all season.
The margin of victory topped East Texas State's 33-0 victory over Tennessee Tech in the 1953 game, then known as the Tangerine Bowl. The bowl dates back to 1947.
Texas Tech 45, Northwestern 38
Taylor Potts threw four touchdown passes and scored another on a trick play, and Eric Stephens ran 86 yards for a score to carry Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders (8-5) led by 22 points early in the second half, then had to sweat it out.
The Wildcats (7-6) got within a touchdown twice in the fourth quarter, with freshmen quarterbacks Evan Watkins and Kain Colter combining to lead three straight touchdown drives and Jordan Maybin returning an interception 39 yards for a score with 5:37 left.
The game wasn't decided until the final play, a heave by Watkins that was intercepted.
Northwestern remains winless in a bowl since 1949. The Wildcats have lost eight in a row, including three straight close ones the last three seasons.
SEC trounces Big 10 in New Year's bowl matchups
Trying the stamp itself as the nation's No. 1 conference yet again, the SEC started the New Year by stomping the Big Ten.

UK Tax
UK Tax Questions? Ask a UK Tax Advisor for answers ASAP
Hi Its MamaTax Here!
Thanks for the question.
Yes if you are considered UK Resident in the UK at some point in the current tax year then your contributions to SIPP are taken into account.
Thanks for getting back to me. Would my overseas employment earnings qualify as UK relevant earnings, thus allowing me to claim tax relief against SIPP contributions?
However its also worth to consider if you can make use of new statutory residence test came into force on 6 April 2013 which are detailed HERE: http://www.out-law.com/en/topics/tax/tax-for-entrepreneurs/statutory-residence-test/
Yes they will.
What were doing overseas/ full time work?
Yes, a full time employment contract with a company in Singapore. Because I was always UK resident before moving to Singapore, I'm pretty sure that I'd have to be outside the UK for a full tax year in order to become non UK tax resident in the relevant period. Hence my question re: the SIPP, as a way to reduce my tax liability if I return.
The new rules don require you to be outside UK for a full tax year. However it appears you are to be resident but its worth looking at the link i provided.
If you are UK tax resident, then then your worldwide income is taken into account in calculating UK taxes, and your pension contribution to a relevent fund/sipp is taken into account,.
And the Relevant Earnings or Relevant UK Earnings wont be that relevent as everything is taxed in UK.
OK, thanks. So in your opinion, earnings don't have to be UK earnings in order to be relevant?
Yes. Once you are UK resident, your worldwide income is taxed in UK subject to any double tax credits that you can get.
OK, thanks.

(July 14, 2009) The Supreme Court has reaffirmed the legal right of parents to obtain reimbursement for the private education of children with learning disabilities, even when the child has not previously received special education services in the public schools.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires school districts to provide a "free appropriate public education" for students whose learning disabilities warrant special education services. The Supreme Court previously ruled that IDEA requires reimbursement for private special education where appropriate. 1997 amendments to IDEA expressly authorize reimbursement of the cost of private school special education for a child who previously received special education services from the school district.
In the case at hand, a school district determined that a child was not entitled to special education. His parents, on the advice of a psychologist, enrolled him in a private school to receive special education and filed suit under IDEA to obtain reimbursement from the school district. The district court ruled that the 1997 amendments categorically barred reimbursement for children who had not previously received special education from the public school district. On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court, ruling that the 1997 amendments did not forbid reimbursement in such circumstances. The Supreme Court granted review to determine whether IDEA's 1997 amendments require children with disabilities to obtain special education and services from a public agency before their parents can place them in a private school and seek reimbursement from the school district.
The Court held that the 1997 IDEA amendments do not impose such a limitation. It observed that the 1997 IDEA amendments did not modify the provision relied upon by the Supreme Court when it held that reimbursement may be obtained, and because Congress is presumed to be aware of existing judicial interpretation of statutes when it amends them, the Court concluded that Congress did not intend to limit reimbursement to children who previously received public school special education services. The Court also found it unlikely that Congress would provide a remedy when a school offers a child inadequate special education services but leave parents remediless when the school unreasonably denies access to such services altogether. In response to the school district's concerns about the financial burden arising from parents placing disabled children in private schools before working with the public education system, the Court noted that parents would still have to prove in court that the private school placement and costs were warranted. (Forest Grove School Dist. v. T. A., No. 08-305 (June 22, 2009), available at http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/08pdf/08-305.pdf.)

VAN NUYS - Two Van Nuys men were sentenced to lengthy prison terms today for the execution-style slaying of a Granada Hills man over an insulting text message about a woman.
Zarek Manjikian was sentenced to 50-years-to-life imprisonment, and Vahagn Jurian got a 25 years-to-life sentence for the killing of Gombert "Mike" Yepremyan over the electronic insult in 2009. Both defendants are 25- year-old Van Nuys men.
The case revolves around a woman being called a "bitch" in a text message, and a group of men plotting revenge, prosecutors said.
"Referring to her as a bitch was the equivalent of calling her a whore" in the Armenian community, prosecutor Edward Nison told reporters after the sentencing.
The murder was "the epitome of senselessness," Superior Court Judge Gregory Dohi said in passing the sentences. "How much is lost for so little?"
The slain victim's mother, Ani Atajyan, said "we've been waiting for a long time. Thanks God, we got justice."
During the sentencing, Dohi rejected requests from the defendants for a new trial or for lesser charges to be entered.
Jurian's cousins -- Hovik Dzhuryan, 20, and Khatun Vardanian, 23 -- were both convicted of conspiring to commit assault with great bodily injury and were sentenced to 270 days in the county jail, five years' probation, and 1,000 hours community service. They were also ordered to stay away from victim's family.
Vardanian, the woman who was called the nasty name in the text from Yepremyan, triggered the deadly chain of events she she asked her brother, Dzhuryan, to assault Yepremyan.
Sobbing at times, Vardanian today insisted "I am not cold blooded, I am not a sociopath ...
"I didn't conspire to do anything," she said.
After learning of the insult, Dzhuryan, Jurian and Manjikian set up a meeting with the victim, who had received several telephone calls asking why he had made the comment about Vardanian, according to a grand jury indictment.
Manjikian and Jurian met with the victim at a Sears parking lot at the intersection of Victory and Laurel Canyon boulevards in North Hollywood about 3- 1/2 hours after the text message was sent, according to testimony.
Yepremyan was struck in the face and then shot in the back of the head with a 9 mm handgun during the confrontation.
In court today, Jurian's sister Anna said "my brother is not a murderer. not a gang member. He was a great kid."
Manjikian was arrested in Puerto Rico last year, but despite pleas from Los Angeles prosecutors, a judge allowed him to post a $50,000 bond and he was released, only to disappear again.
He remained on the run until just over a year ago, when he turned himself in at the Van Nuys courthouse.

Looks good. What about cotton sleeving, better than Teflon. I know the wire is thin. You can do it. Build one of each and do a shoot out! Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi Awe-d-o-file,
A tightly twisted pair is a vital goal for the DIY project. I'm not convinced that cotton tubing will allow as tight of a twist pitch as a very thin layer of PTFE Teflon tape in order to build an unshielded, very tightly twisted pair for optimum noise cancellation purposes. In this regard, since the project is a DIY AES/EBU digital cable, it's vital that the loop area of each twist of the wires are consistent along the entire length of the twisted pair, and cotton tubing will likely bunch up a bit here and there in a manner that creates subtle inconsistencies that may affect the digital signal. I'm also not convinced that cotton tubing will offer substantially less dielectric constant involvement than a very thin hand-built layer of PTFE Teflon tape for my particular project. Lastly, humidity is an issue that is not often discussed when absorptive cotton tubing is implemented for DIY silver cable projects. I'll let those who are interested in cotton tubing experiment for themselves in this case, and carry on with my particular design goals.
Cheers, Duster
I use Paul Speltz designs of unshielded interconnects. No noise issues . Single conductor. I would think it even less of an issue balanced. Nothing better than an air dielectric, cotton next best....So easy to make you should at least try one

If I were a solid core silver rca interconnect cable fan vs. a solid core copper rca interconnect cable fan for line-level analog cable applications, I'm sure I would like to try cotton tubing as a dielectric.
While a balanced digital signal is a different animal than a balanced line-level signal, both require a twisted pair in order function properly with balanced I/O circuitry. As for cotton tubing being absolutely better than a very thin hand-built layer of PTFE Teflon tape, I prefer a minimal-mass, very thin PTFE Teflon tape layer approach for a tightly-twisted pair, and I doubt there would be a profound difference from an audible dielectric absorption POV. You may like to try VH Audio's AirLok insulated OCC copper wire to hear how good a minimal-mass cellular FEP Teflon dielectric can sound.
BTW, what make/model connector is your Paul Speltz cable(s) terminated with?
a digital cable. As to Speltz I was in on the ground floor. I had his first which was 2 pos cables with RCA pin onlt and one ground with a ring sleeve for one RCA ground as they are common.
I then got his copper with the curled return with Neutrik and then jumped to his best silver with silver Eichmanns
Good luck
"If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed" - Curly Howard 1936
Partsconnection has Duelund 6N dead soft silver wire that has an oil impregated cotton jacket. Wouldn't that be something to try? With the cotton jacket in place twisting shouldn't present a problem.
I have fully explained in this thread as to why I don't consider a fluffy cotton, or even an oil impregnated cotton tubing without any air as part of the dielectric for that matter to be suitable for use as a precision twisted pair in order to build a proper home-brew AES/EBU digital cable, in my own personal opinion. Again, if I were interested in building a pure silver analog interconnect, or a pure silver speaker cable, cotton tubing would be on my short list of designs to consider, but not necessarily the only option to choose from. Anyone who has not experienced just how incredibly thin the typical white colored PTFE Teflon tape actually is, and the notion of only implementing a single run of PTFE Teflon tape with a half-overlap that effectively provides 2-layers of tape wrap for each wire, might like to spend a buck for a roll of it from a local hardware store to see how little dielectric mass, and thus dielectric absorption is involved in my intended design.
One of the enjoyable things about the design I'm shooting for is that it's not suitable for a commercial build, since it may be too delicate from a heavy duty POV. Like a number of DIY cable builds, it's not important that there is a level of fragility involved for my own use, not unlike the delicate nature of a turntable, and the responsibility of the end user to be extra-careful from a mechanical perspective. Good performance should not necessarily be limited by the danger of mishandling due to the thoughtlessness of a consumer electronics plug & play mentality vs. a DIY build for personal use. Folks must take care in the way they treat their own audio gear, in so many ways. So a DIY build can be as centered on performance as a designer wishes it to be, rather than compromise for the sake of a more robust commercial build for business purposes, which may sacrifice performance for the sake of avoiding customer returns.
In the case of using a very thin layer of PTFE Teflon tape vs. a more bulky cotton tubing as an insulator, I plan to use a single run of PTFE Teflon tape with a half-overlap that will effectively provide 2-layers of tape wrap for each wire, not even as much as the 4-5 wraps used for pipe sealing purposes as intended for PTFE Teflon tape. Even if an exposed gap very unlikely occurs at some point within the short 0.5 meter length, there will be 2-layers of tape around the opposing wire to provide the necessary insulation for a twisted pair. With so little dielectric mass, there should be minimal dielectric absorption involved in the matter, and it will allow the two opposing conductors to be very tightly twisted together without issue due to the material bulk of a fluffy cotton dielectric.
The primary goal of this DIY AES/EBU digital cable project is to allow two solid core conductors to be twisted tightly together, that do not require fillers that add dielectric mass in order to provide a structure that maintains a consistent geometry from end to end, since a medium gauge solid core wire with a minimal mass insulator can provide a very robust geometry vs. a thickly insulated stranded wire conductor tends to provide. This matter may also pertain to the bulky nature of cotton tubing, which is better implemented for analog interconnect cables and speaker wire rather than an AES/EBU digital cable application, IMO. Although the DIY build will not be measured to see if its number falls somewhere between the generous 110 ohm � 20% (88-132 ohm) range for an AES/EBU digital cable application, in my experience of many that I've built perform much better than the 110 ohm commercial cables I've evaluated, and also tend to sound much better than 75 ohm digital coaxial cables if terminated with an audiophile-quality XLR connector vs. a pro audio XLR connector. Building the perfect twisted pair is the primary goal, in this case.
Hi. Where did you purchase the silver wire from ? Thanks.
For those in the US, Handmade Electronics sells bare 99.99 silver wire advertized as "soft annealed". I'll assume that this is just another term for "dead soft". It also costs a bit less, but more importantly domestic shipping will be quicker.
Edits: 02/28/17 03/03/17
That's a good tip. I would have ordered the wire from Handmade Electronics if I was aware that they offered the product. It's also nice that they offer the wire in 1 foot increments, since I had to negotiate a 1.25 meter length with the Australian seller who offers the product per 1 meter increments, as I only require a 4 foot length for my DIY project. When divided in half, a pair of 2 foot wires per polarity when tightly twisted together results in an approximately 0.5 meter cable (about 20% less in length).
Duster, I'm wondering how you intend to get even close to the specified 110ohm characterisitc impedance?
Or do you agree with me that it's not important? (Although I'd argue that with a low resistance wire it actually *is* important, unlike a higher resistace conductor like, for example, carbon fibers)
btw, I find no mention of 20% tolerance in the AES3 spec. If the characteristic impedance mismatches the source or load impedances by any amount you will get reflections. Curious to know where this 20% tolerance figure comes from.

The following text taken from Allied Wire & Cable (see link below):
AES EBU specs for digital audio cable require a sampling rate from 32 KHz to 193 KHz, bandwidth from 4.096 MHz to 24.5 MHz, and an impedance of 110 ohms � 20%. These are very broad specifications, allowing everything from 88 ohm cables to 132 ohm cables. However, standard analog audio cables have impedances ranging from 45 ohms to 70 ohms. There is a lot of room for difference between the AES EBU digital audio cable impedances and the standard analog audio range, which could cause jitter and signal reflection problems. Those problems could then lead to receiver bit errors. To avoid these issues, 100 ohm to 120 ohm twisted pair cables are recommended.
With such a broad 110 ohm � 20% range specification, albeit with the vague notion of a tighter tolerance being recommended, I find the sonic benefit of my experiments outweigh the concern about conforming to AES/EBU specifications, which seem a bit arbitrary. The 75 ohm characteristic impedance tolerance of �3 ohm is far more strict, including the strict rules of terminating RCA and BNC connectors for the purpose, which if not followed can cause impedance mismatches. Achieving an actual �3 ohm tolerance for a typical 75 ohm S/PDIF digital cable build seems even less likely than achieving a broader 110 ohm � 20% tolerance.
The following is a layman's perspective regarding my home-brew XLR digital cable builds for my own personal use:
While the 75 ohm characteristic impedance issue of an RCA connector or BNC connector termination involves a mechanical structure that maintains a precision relationship of the dielectric structure between the center conductor and the shield from end to end, an XLR connector has little to do with maintaining the dielectric structure of of a twisted pair. The termination of a balanced digital cable vs. a balanced analog cable is identical, with no particular termination method having to do with the mechanical structure of an XLR connector to cause a characteristic impedance mismatch. So a nominal 110 ohm characteristic impedance of a balanced digital cable seems to be unaffected by the structure an XLR connector.
As for the cable geometry, the key point of my AES/EBU digital cable design is to maintain a consistent and precision twist ratio, with the same loop area for each twist, without any gaps along the entire length of a twisted pair that will last the test of time. This is easy to do when a medium gauge solid core conductor with a low-mass dielectric is implemented for the task. My favorite wire being VH Audio's 21 AWG OCC solid core copper hookup wire with low-mass AirLok dielectric for the purpose. Not only does the wire sound great, it's also the easiest wire to tightly twist in a precision manner for noise cancellation purposes, and to firmly keep its shape without gaps. All the twisted pair needs is a simple outer wrap of heavy duty PTFE Teflon tape to help ensure that the tightly twisted solid core conductors keep a consistent geometry from end to end, without any gaps forming, and to provide an important level of cable resonance control.
A typical commercial AES/EBU digital cable design maintains a consistent geometry with the use of fillers (with added dielectric mass) that act as a former for a twisted pair to maintain a consistent geometry, which is especially needed for a typical pro audio stranded conductor with thick insulation, since that type of conductor does not easily keep its geometry within the moderate constraints of a typical cable jacket. So a typical AES/EBU digital cable design tends to need an opposing pair of rods or a bonding agent to keep the conductors evenly and firmly twisted together from end to end, whereas I find a medium gauge solid core conductor with low-mass insulation fulfills the need of a precision geometry that can be consistent from end to end without fillers for a balanced digital cable application. Furthermore, an audiophile-quality XLR connector is just as vital for audiophile performance rather than a typical pro audio XLR connector such as those from Neutrik and Switchcraft, which are unacceptable for an audiophile application, in my experience. The same applies to a pro audio 110 ohm AES/EBU digital cable such as those from Canare and Mogami. Finally, I break the pro audio rules by not using a ground conductor nor shielding for my AES/EBU digital cable builds, since they are unnecessary and degrade audiophile performance for a short 0.5 meter length home audio application, to my ear.

Monessen Civic Authority back
Nearly four years after being dissolved, the Monessen Civic Authority has been re-established.
City council unanimously voted Wednesday to establish a new authority. Josh Retos, the lone carryover from the council that dissolved the authority in April 2010, voted back then against the move.
Council approved the following authority appointments: Leroy Bright, one-year term; Donald Caterino and Cheryl Fleming, two-year terms; John Palmer and Robert Zynosky II, three-year terms; Roberta Bergstedt and Lee Johnson, four-year terms; and Eugene Sedlak and Marlon Wheeler, five-year terms.
After the authority was dissolved, management of the Monessen Civic Center was turned over to Monessen Communities That Care – a community-based prevention initiative that formed in 2001 and serves under the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
Communities That Care operates several programs for youths in the Monessen School District.
Most recently, volunteer Bonnie Smiley managed the civic center. She resigned in December.
The authority was dissolved amidst alleged personality issues involving city officials and the board. At the time of the dissolution, Lee Johnson, then the acting authority president, said his group made "every attempt" to work with council.
He disputed claims that the authority board did not provide audits to council.
On Wednesday, Councilwoman Patricia Bukowski said the city expects to have summer recreation programs in the civic center and around the city. In addition to managing the civic center, the new authority will oversee recreation programs in Monessen.
In other news, council hired Donald "Buzzy" Bryon as full-time code enforcement officer at an annual salary of $40,000.
Leona Snyder said her son, Tony, was not considered for the position. She said he was laid off from a city job and should have been interviewed. He was doing similar work for $9 an hour on a part-time basis, she said.
Resident Ernie Telegraphis asked why council decided to pay Byron $40,000 a year.
Mayor Lou Mavrakis said the code enforcement office brings in $250,00 a year, adding that the city was not receiving that amount in the past because it did not have a full-time code enforcement officer.
Solicitor Al Gaudio told council not to discuss the issue in the public meeting environment because it involved a personnel matter.

Update: A former Santorum colleague at EPPC responds. [see bottom of post]
Yahoo! News contributor Andrew Riggio yesterday evening cynically used the occasion of Bella Santorum's hospitalization and her father's accompanying temporary suspension of his presidential campaign to attack the pro-life conservative who opposes taxpayer-financed embryonic stem-cell research:
While it is always tragic for a parent to face losing a child, the situation highlights a political issue: Santorum's hypocrisy on health care, abortion and embryonic stem cell research.
Santorum's campaign website discusses his views on these matters. He is emphatically against a woman's right to control her own body in reproductive matters and is adamantly opposed to embryonic stem cell research. He is against a single-payer national health care system provided to all citizens. He opposes the first two on religious grounds on the third for reasons of political dogma.
With no awareness of how ghoulish his commentary and its timing was, Riggio continued his rehash of predictable, warmed-over leftist talking points that also included a factual error:
It's also easier for him to oppose it because he has the best health care in America available to him and his family -- provided at taxpayer expense, no less. He never had to consider whether care for a terminally ill child would destroy his family financially.
Perhaps Riggio is under the impression that Santorum is on the public payroll and receives the health care that U.S. senators do, when in fact he's a former senator who worked for the Washington-based Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) shortly after leaving the Senate in 2007 until June of last year.
Riggio continued by suggesting Santorum's experience with caring for a "terminally ill child" should push him both into favoring single-payer government-run health care and into favoring life-destroying embryonic stem cell research and attacking him as a heartless bastard for not holding those views:
Unless the U.S. enacts a national health care plan most families will never be able to afford the care needed for a child with Trisomy 18. Santorum's family will never lack for health care or face crippling medical debt -- but as far as he's concerned it's fine for your family to have those problems.
Santorum's opposition to embryonic stem cell research is ludicrous for two reasons. First, such research involves the collection of cells from a blastocyst, a blob of about 150 cells so small the human eye cannot detect it, according to the National Institute for Health. Second, such research could save the lives of his daughter and countless others suffering from her condition. It's despicable for him to fight against the best possible hope for a cure to the very condition killing his child.
There's someone despicable in all this, Mr. Riggio. You just need to look into the mirror to find him.
Update [12:55 p.m. EST]: Adam Keiper, editor of The New Atlantist, a publication of EPPC, emailed me the following item to add as a factual critique of Riggio's Yahoo! column:
Riggio writes that embryonic stem cell research "could save the lives of his daughter and countless others suffering from her condition." That is completely false. Bella Santorum has Trisomy 18, which, like Down syndrome, is a chromosomal condition. No one thinks that stem cell research (whether using embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells) has any potential to treat chromosomal conditions. We just published a major report on stem cell research in The New Atlantis and were scrupulously evenhanded about describing the potential of stem cells (see here). The fact that Riggio accuses Senator Santorum of hypocrisy on this question is illogical, ill-informed, and malicious. Thanks for your post on this.

Mellette County, South Dakota
County & Town Histories - Surveying
Helping Survey Mellette County
As told to Winifred Reutter
(Partial Transcription, from the "Mellette County Memories, Golden Anniversary Edition 1911-1961", published by Winifred Reutter, 1961
(pg. 57-58))
Charley Larison, who with his wife, Minda, now lives in Belvidere, S. D., was one of the men who actually
helped put Mellette County on the map, as he furnished some of the teams and wagons for the surveyors
back in 1910 and 1911 and was an early surveyor's assistant. Most of the land had previously been
surveyed into sections. The men were headed by J. B. Scrivin, who was a member of the Government
appraising and allotting crews. Dick Allison, an Indian, represented the Indian Department, and a third
man, who also helped with the group Charlie piloted around. They had to find these marked, and sometimes
unmarked section corners. Then their job would be to survey and cross-section each piece of land. In other
words, figure out the exact center of the section and the half-way point between the corners.These places
they would mark with Government stakes, thus making four quarters of land 160 acres each out of each
I always thought when I saw these iron stakes around here in the Rosebud Reservation that they had been driven into the ground. But Charley said that it couldn't be driven because it was a large iron having two hooks on it and was full of cement. So they had to dig a hole and set the stake in it.
The Government was giving the Indians first choice of land before it was to be opened for homesteading. The allotting was done before it was appraised for white settlement and they tried to give the Indians the best land and leave the rough out. So it was Larison's job to take these men to the land each Indian selected and there they would place a special iron Government stake at each corner of the allotment. Usually it was a quarter (160 acres), sometimes a half section (320 acres) and sometimes an Indian was allotted a whole section of land.
One of the earlier surveying crews had been headed by a man named Anderson or Gunderson. Usually those earlier markers were wooden stakes with numbers burned on them, but sometimes it was only a buried tin can containing stones, or posts, or a large rock, or sometimes marked with a cross. There were also markings burned in or cut on trees along the Little White River.
Most of the Indians were unable to read and write at that time so some of them would select a piece of land, pull up the wooden stake, then take it to the Rosebud Agency to show the officials there the numbers and descriptions on it. These descriptions, section, range and township, were duly recorded as that particular Indian's allotment and he would ride back up into Mellette County and put the stake back where he found it.
Some of the rocks and cans used as section corner markers by the first surveyors were pretty hard to find by the time Larison brought his men along. A couple of times they found tents set up and once a log house had been built right on the locations where the iron markers were to be put in.
All the transportation and equipment necessary was usually supplied by Charley Larison. Sometimes he drove Government horses when appraising. He furnished three teams of horses, freight wagons, chuck wagon and all Sam Chilton was the crew boss. He was a surveyor and map maker.
The cook was George Howard, a colored lad who could make lots of tasty pies, cakes, bread and hot biscuits for his hungry bunch, although they were often many days and miles from towns and stores.
Chain men were George Hibbard and George Burning Breast.
The flagman was Wayne Scrivins and it was his job to ride ahead and locate the approximate site of the next marker so the rest of the boys could sight to it. He did this so often that his pony was trained to the job. Scrivins would take off and ride across this vast, rough, fenceless prairie land. Suddenly he'd stop and some of the crew would come on and invariably they'd find the marker within a couple rods; very often he was within six feet or less of the exact-spot. Either the man or the horse, or perhaps both, had an uncanny ability of computing distance.
As mentioned before, some of the markers left by the earlier surveyors were buried cans or boulders and Larison's men would have to take a spade and dig holes to find these identifying objects. Sometimes it took quite a lot of time, then again they might find it quickly. Either way it was all in the day's work.
The iron stakes furnished by the Government made a heavy load to haul around the country side. They had to be freighted by horses to Rosebud from the closest railroad station at Valentine, Nebr. Each had Government information stamped on its top, such as, Government property, severe penalty for removal, etc. The letter N at one side which meant north, so care had to be taken to see that this was placed right when the stake was put into the ground. There was a large cross in the center. The surveyor's job was to set this stake into the proper spot and then they had equipment with which to stamp into the top of the stake the correct number of quarter, section, township, range and allotment number. One of their tricks while setting stakes was to tie a white handkerchief on the buggy wheel and count 240 turns before the next stop. So the wheatfield measurers of today are still using this method of counting the wheel turns.
Other old-timers who rode with Charley have told me that he was an excellent teamster. Although they also said that in driving across this open country he frequently went up and down places where jeeps would still fear to travel today. However, I never heard of him losing a man or a horse, or having a bad accident. But I did hear that some of the men got off and walked when they came to the next steep place.
A fellow by the name of Hank Slaughter, Charley thought it was, had also started surveying the eastern part of the Rosebud country about this time, but he gave it up as a bad job and Chilton was assigned to take over in his place. Larison and his outfit were again hired to furnish the transportation and so they went to survey parts of Todd and Tripp Counties and later also over into the Lower Brule country.
Charley worked at this job during the summertime, but when it got so cold in the wintertime that the fresh, hot coffee froze when they were pouring it out of the coffee pot, then Larison took his teams and wagons back to Rosebud for the winter. During the winter months he frequently hauled food and supplies from Valentine to the Rosebud Agency. Probably he even hauled more iron stakes for surveyors to use somewhere the next summer.
At Rosebud there were two large livery barns. There was a stockade around the Agency at that time, although Charley says the gates were usually open so everyone went in and out as they pleased.
Charley, along with other riders, also trailed cattle out from ranches in the Valentine area to Rosebud, White River and other Issue Stations. There the cattle would be turned out (issued) to the Indians for slaughter on certain dates.

Most of the land had been surveyed into sections by this time. Charley Larison was a surveyors assistant, to find the markers, survey and cross-section each piece of land.
The survey stakes were shipped in on the rail from Valentine, Nebraska. The iron stakes were Government markers, having two hooks on it and poured with cement, so as not to be destroyed easily. Each had a large cross on them, a letter N, marking north then they mark the numbers of the quarter, section, township and range number. This was all done by teams of horses and freight wagons.

Hello all, another recent addition from London.
I am a Chuck-fan and read all of his published work, also love Douglas Coupland too. An avid comic reader, which over the last few years has monopolised by free time to be honest.
Over the last 18 months I've started writing again, but with work (as a primary school teacher) and reading comics, I've not had as much energy/time to get much done. Plus the lure of the internet and all the wondrous crap I can find keeps me distracted a lot too.
Well, this is me, hello all and a happy new year too.

Long Life (UHT milk allergy)?
Started by bell1002 , Jul 02 2008 03:12 PM
3 replies to this topic
Posted 02 July 2008 - 03:12 PM
I have noticed the last 6-12 months that whenever my 3 year old DD has a flavoured UHT milk (up and go, wiggles etc) she almost instantly bloats up and has diarreah for a good 3-6 hours afterwards. She has always been extreemly 'regular' (up to 6 times per day).
We mostly drink soy milk at home so I have never really noticed it until now, I am now wondering if she has some sort of allergy to milk (normal or uht) and if this could be why she has had excema since she started bottle feeding on casein formula at around 7 months? are they linked?
Anyway could anyone tell me where to go from here?? would they bother with testing considering she doesnt have life threatening reactions/swelling/difficulty breathing etc?.
Posted 02 July 2008 - 03:19 PM
My DD is 10.5 months old and has a severe allergy to dairy and cannot have soy or egg as precaution as suggested by our allergy specialist.
It sounds like she is allergic to milk - does she eat other dairy (eg cheese or yoghurt) without reaction?
Ezcema is a classic sign of allergy (my DD has it too) i would definately ask to get her checked. Although her symptoms are not life threatening, it does not mean that this is not causing her harm internally. Speak to your paediatrician to get a referral to an allergy specialist to get tested. In the meantime, obviously keep her away from dairy.
Posted 02 July 2008 - 03:21 PM
Quite possibly she does have an allergy or intolerance to milk. What's she like when she has other dairy? If there are no major symptoms it may be a dose dependant intolerance ie she can have it in cooking (ie cake) but not as a drink.
The only real way to know is her reaction when ingested (and you know what that is).
Allergy testing may not come up with anything, especially as it's digestive symptoms. These don't show up very well in a skin prick test, however it might if it's caused eczema in the past. There's also blood (RAST) tests. However both of these can have false positives and false negatives.
You can go and spend your money on a 'diagnosis' but it probably won't tell you any more than you already know. She's not anaphalactic so she's don't going to be prescribed anything.
