As Secretary of State John Kerry wraps up his first official trip overseas, he's walking a fine line on Syria. Kerry says the Obama administration has been stepping up assistance to rebels who are trying to topple the Syrian regime. But the U.S. is also worried about how all of this will play out. NPR's Michele Kelemen spoke with the secretary of State today in Doha, Qatar, and he said he's taking this one step at a time.
MICHELE KELEMEN, BYLINE: The new secretary of State brought few new initiatives on this trip. He announced that the U.S. would give more aid to Egypt's struggling economy, if Cairo finalizes a much-needed loan deal with the International Monetary Fund. And earlier, at a conference in Rome, Kerry announced that the U.S. would give food and medicine to Syrian rebels, and more direct help to the Syrian Opposition Council. Asked whether that's enough, he says other countries are doing more now, too, including some that are arming the rebels.
SECRETARY JOHN KERRY: So that's a lot of things happening at one time. Now, what the president really wants is a peaceful resolution of this. And he feels strongly that the immediate answer is not to empower more killing. It is rather to try to say to President Assad, there is a solution. Now, if Assad doesn't want that, then he's asking obviously for another ratcheting up of other countries and other efforts.
KELEMEN: But you've met Assad before. From what you know of him, I mean, is he crazy enough to think he can't shoot his way out of this situation or even use chemical weapons?
KERRY: I believe that President Assad until recently has calculated that he could shoot his way out of it. And that is why I said, in going to Rome, we need to take steps to begin to change his calculation. Now, rather than put everything on the table at once, we're trying to offer him what is a rational choice. There are real dangers here.
We're trying to avoid the state of Syria imploding. We're trying to avoid extremism being fed. We're trying to walk a very careful line where we know what the preference is; it is a negotiated transition. But if he doesn't change his calculation, that won't happen.
KELEMEN: I'd like to ask about your stop in Egypt because you announced $190 million in budget support for the Egyptian government. What did President Mohamed Morsi tell you that convinced you it's time to release this money?
KERRY: President Morsi agreed that we needed to move forward on the IMF and that he would do so. He suggested that he had a full understanding of the need to do that, as well as to try to reach out to the opposition and be more inclusive and deal with some of the problems in the streets that we have all spoken out about. Now, I can't tell you there's a guarantee that the things that he said he wants to do can, in fact, be affected. And if they are not, then Egypt is going to have a very difficult time in the days ahead.
But we thought it was important for the United States, as a matter of good faith, to follow through on the promise President Obama made a year ago; that they would be helped in their transition if they chose to do the right things.
KELEMEN: But this is a time of austerity for the United States. I mean, can the U.S. afford the kind of foreign policy that you want to lead?
KERRY: The president and I agree 100 percent that Egypt is vital to the region, to our interests. Now, let me give you an example. Egypt was critical in helping to bring about peace in the Gaza Strip. President Morsi personally intervened. And he is cooperating with Israel on the security in the Sinai, and cooperating with Israel in terms of extremism and intelligence.
So, for the American people, the amount of money that we're investing in Egypt, compared to its importance to us in the region - for stability, for peace - is miniscule. And we could pay a much higher price down the road if Egypt is in turmoil and chaos and the region feels those implications.
KELEMEN: Secretary Kerry spoke to us at his hotel in Doha, Qatar, the last stop on his nine-day swing through Europe and the Middle East.

Free Fight
"I will express this art to its fullest and I will try and put everything out there. I will put that much effort into it." - Alex Caceres
"Awakening is natural, delusion is not." - Buddha
Not every interview is the same, even if in general the questions are. It truly depends on who is answering them, and when it is UFC bantamweight Alex Caceres, one should prepare to have their mind blown away. If asked about his fight, he will talk about his fight. When asked about training, he'll talk about training. When he is questioned about his future and/or his goals, Caceres will answer with an unflinching passion and a poetic world view, which he hopes to instill in all the people who listen. And if requested for a final thought, "Bruce Leeroy" quotes Siddhartha.
"I think we're infinite beings," opines Caceres. "We have to stay limitless. As long as we can keep moving in this vessel that houses our spiritual function that we should always be moving forward. We have this misconception that we are humans with spirits, but it's the other way around - we're just spiritual beings having a human experience. Everyone thinks this is it, that this is the final frontier, but really anything is possible and we can really bring things out of nothing and make them a reality. A good example I use is the Wright Brothers. No one had ever saw what a plane was, but they had seen it inside their heads and they brought it out of their heads and manifested it physically into this physical realm that we see today. It started as meta-physical and became physical. It started as unreal and became real. They saw it in a dream and made it reality. I think we all have that capability and that truly shows our infinite power. Even though I set up a goal miles down the line, eventually, if I reach that goal I will probably set up another one miles down the line just because. We have to set goals that we may never reach, that are infinite, and we need to try anyway. That's the beauty of it. We don't have enough time and that's what makes everything that much more beautiful. We'll never get today again; we'll never have today again ever."
At 24 years old, the born and bred Miami, Floridian is currently experiencing a spiritual awakening the likes one could have never imagined for the once almost comically afro-ed cast member of The Ultimate Fighter season 12. The transformation started roughly a year ago with Caceres' diet, and soon the age-old idea of "you are what you eat" had taken root into the young fighter's already positive outlook.
"By bettering myself, I can better the situation around me. It was just coming to a realization that we're all in this together and, hopefully, if we're all involved we can rise up as one."
It began with watching documentaries, reading books, and whatever else Caceres could devour with his mind on the subject of food. "One of the movies that had a big impact on me, on my diet, was 'Forks Over Knives'," tells Caceres of the Lee Fulkerson film, which promotes that most, if not all, degenerative disease can be linked to animal-based and processed foods. "It really showed us that most of the food we're eating in this Westernized diet is actually the opposite of what we think it is and it is very detrimental to our health. I started cutting dairy, lactose, processed foods, and processed meat out of my diet. I'm not completely a vegan."
From there, the featherweight began shedding pounds and was walking around at 145 pounds, so the next stop was cutting to 135. The change has had an immense impact on him both physiologically and psychologically, and also economically. Since the move to bantamweight, Caceres is 2-1 inside the Octagon with an overall record of 7-5. In his first outing in the new division, he nabbed a unanimous decision victory over Cole Escovedo at UFC on FOX last November. Following that, Caceres had an odd split decision loss against Edwin Figueroa, but rebounded with his best performance yet in a "Submission of the Night" win over WEC veteran Damacio Page in July.
"With the knowledge I'm gaining now, I'm able to show people what I'm really about," says Caceres. "I am a well-rounded fighter, I belong in the UFC, and with every fight I'm going to be able to show my skill level that I'm the better man in the cage at that moment on that day during those 15 minutes. If anything, it makes me want to train harder. Now, I do have this excess amount of energy that I can't seem to spend all the time. I get into the gym and I'm not satisfied until I'm crawling out of the cage. One of the most profound things this diet gave me is the clarity of thought. I actually know what I want out of this and where I want to be at the end of this. It feels good."
The bout against Page highlighted many of Caceres' weapons, from his size and length to his savvy ground game and to his creativity standing. The first round was Page on top and Caceres on bottom, but the second round saw a vicious knee transitioned into a fight ending triangle choke that put the rest of the division on notice. "It was actually that knee to the chest that I threw that weakened him for the triangle," divulges Caceres. "I felt my knee go straight into his solar plexus and I heard him grunt really loud when I hit him. He didn't give much resistance when I threw on that triangle, so I knew that body shot really hurt him."
Up next for Caceres is a trip to the Far East in a showdown with promotional newcomer Kyung Ho Kang at UFC on FUEL TV in Macao, China. Well before "Bruce Leeroy" submitted Page, behind-the-scenes Caceres had been bugging UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby to be put on the China card to perform in front of his idol Bruce Lee's homeland. The W punched his ticket to Macao and lined Caceres up to tangle with submission ace Kang. The South Korean "Typhoon" is 11-6, on a three fight win streak, and, most recently, won a bantamweight tournament / title for the Korean based Road Fighting Championships.
"He looks like a very well-rounded, solid opponent," admits Caceres. "Nothing that I haven't seen before, but he looks like he has a solid ground game with most of his fights being won by submission, eight out of 11. He seems to be a tough opponent. I think we'll be a very great matchup out there. Win or lose, I'm ready to give it my all out there and I hope he is ready to do the same."
Besides the changes in diet and division, Caceres has been training with a different team at the MMA Lab in Glendale, Arizona. Under the watchful eye of head coach and Royce Gracie Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt John Crouch, he is getting better by battling the UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson. Caceres reveals a lot of the focus is on filling in the perceived holes in his wrestling, but believes he is getting stronger everyday in all areas. As with all UFC fighters, Caceres' goal is to wear gold around his waist, and rubbing shoulders with a current champ like Henderson is making that possibility closer to a reality.
"Training alongside him and sparring with him boosts my confidence," asserts Caceres. "I'm seeing him train and training together with him, and seeing that the work ethic is not far off and that the training methods are not far off and our lifestyles are not far off. If I can hang with this champion that is two weight classes above me, then I don't think anyone at 135 can touch me. It definitely makes that dream a lot more tangible, and when I reach up I can feel something and one day I'm going to grab it."
But Caceres is quick to correct that a belt is not his endgame. "I'm a martial artist at heart and I will do that forever, but fighting I honestly believe and know it is for the young," maintains Caceres, who is still a year away from a quarter century with presumably a decade at least left in him as a quality mixed martial artist, but he has more on his mind than titles. "I know me holding the belt and being champion might and very well may become, but it is not the top of the mountain for me. I feel this is a stepping stone to launch myself toward my true realization of my dreams and purposes in life. Honestly, I see my ultimate goals being some sort of humanitarian where I can use the knowledge and the wisdom that I have come across through my evolution of life to help other people come up to a higher plane as well."
While many may believe those are too lofty or unrealistic goals for a fighter, then maybe those people should investigate Muhammad Ali or Helio Gracie and how their lives caused countless ripples in our sea of humanity. If Caceres' mission is to help the world, then good luck to him with no sarcasm or cynicism needed. He is setting himself upon the toughest and most difficult to navigate roads, and is hoping to lead by example for others to follow. Simply, Caceres believes he can be better, that we all can be better, and he'll pursue that dream with the same fervor he shows in his struggles inside the cage.
"I feel we all have to evolve to help humankind push the sky off," declares Caceres. "The more I think about it the I more I realize, we are all stuck on this rock sailing through this cosmic ocean and if anything threatens us it threatens our entire race and there is no way we can fight back against it. I think we really need to push our horizons to spread ourselves across this vast universe. We are just a speck in the whole scheme of things and we're worried about a lot of materialistic ideals and appearances and what not, and what we should be worried about are the welfare of our children and our children's children. We're so stuck in the past and so stuck in this dream-like state they have us in. It's weird, reality TV becomes reality and we have to live vicariously through other people's lives when our own lives are just as exciting if we want them to be. Everybody looks at me and they're like he's a lucky kid with nothing to play with; he's just a lucky person that made it. But it's not true. Everyone has this ability and drive and everybody has the capabilities to do it. I was just a regular person on the streets before I became any of this. I know that I had to bite down and get some grit in me to do it, and it wasn't easy because nothing comes easy. We definitely have the power to be greater than ourselves every day. That's my main goal in life and my challenge is to always challenge myself to be better than I am today tomorrow. I know I have this capability and I know we all have this capability. We just have to wake up and realize that not just one person is special and has talent. You just have to put in the work to make it realized."
On November 10th at the CotaiArena in Macau, China, a bantamweight collision between Kang and Caceres will look to entertain and spark a fire in this burgeoning MMA market. For the Chinese fans, Caceres makes it known that he is committed to pushing himself beyond his limits for the W, but if he falls short, it will only be because Kang has exceeded his potential as well.
"I always expect to perform extremely well," affirms Caceres. "I will go out there and express myself. I will express this art to its fullest and I will try and put everything out there. I will put that much effort into it. Win or lose. You can expect me to win or you can expect me to lose, but if I lose it will not be because I got tired or did not put enough effort into it. It will only be because that person was truly better than me that day, and only for that day. I will always come back stronger and better. What the fans can expect is one hell of a fight."
And if "Bruce Leeroy" does win, Jon Anik and Kenny Florian can expect one helluva post-fight interview.

Your child does homework on time, helps you clear the table after dinner, and even helps with housework on the weekends. So can it be true that this same child is stealing?
Before you react, it helps to know a little about why kids steal and where to get help.
Why Kids and Teens Steal
Kids of all ages — from preschoolers to teens — can be tempted to steal for different reasons:
- Very young children sometimes take things they want without understanding that things cost money and that it's wrong to take something without paying for it.
- School-age kids usually know they're not supposed to take something without paying, but they might do so anyway because they lack enough self-control.
- Preteens and teens know they're not supposed to steal, but might steal for the thrill of it or because their friends do. Some might believe they can get away with it. As they're given more control over their lives, some teens steal as a way of rebelling.
And other complex reasons can be factors. Kids might be angry or want attention. Their behavior may reflect stress at home, school, or with friends. Some may steal as a cry for help because of emotional or physical abuse they're enduring.
In other cases, kids and teens steal because they can't afford to pay for what they need or want — for example, they may steal to get popular name-brand items. In some cases, they may take things to support drug habits.
Whatever the reason for stealing, parents need to find out the root of the behavior and address other underlying problems, like drug abuse, that may surface.
What Should I Do?
When a child has been caught stealing, a parent's reaction should depend on whether it's the first time or there's a pattern of stealing.
With very young children, parents need to help them understand that stealing is wrong — that when you take something without asking or paying for it, it hurts someone else. If a preschooler takes a piece of candy, for instance, parents can help the child return the item. If the child has already eaten the candy, parents can take the child back to the store to apologize and pay for it.
With school-age kids, too, it's important to return the stolen item. By the first and second grades, kids should know stealing is wrong. But they may need a better understanding of the consequences.
Here's an example: If a child comes home with a friend's bracelet and it's clear the child took it without the friend's permission, the parent should talk to the child about how it would feel if a friend took something without asking first. The parent should encourage the child to call the friend to apologize, explain what happened, and promise to return it.
When teens steal, it's recommended that parents follow through with stricter consequences. For example, when a teen is caught stealing, the parent can take the teen back to the store and meet with the security department to explain and apologize for what happened.
The embarrassment of facing up to what he or she did by having to return a stolen item makes for an everlasting lesson on why stealing is wrong.
Further punishment, particularly physical punishment, is unnecessary and could make the child angry and more likely to engage in even worse behavior.
If it's a first-time offense, some stores and businesses may accept an apology and not necessarily press charges. However, some stores press charges the first time around. And there's often little sympathy for repeat offenders.
Kids of all ages need to know that shoplifting isn't just about taking things from a store — it's taking money from the people who run the businesses. Plus, shoplifting makes prices higher for other customers. They should also know that stealing is a crime and can lead to consequences far worse than being grounded, including juvenile detention centers and even prison.
If stealing money from a parent, the child should be offered options for paying back the money, like doing extra chores around the house. It's important, however, that a parent not bait the child by leaving out money in the hopes of catching the child in the act. That could damage the sense of trust between a parent and child.
If a Child Keeps Stealing
If your child has stolen on more than one occasion, consider getting professional help. Repeat offenses may indicate a bigger problem.
One third of juveniles who've been caught shoplifting say it's difficult for them to quit. So, it's important to help kids and teens understand why stealing is wrong and that they may face serious consequences if they continue to steal.
Others who may be able to talk to you and/or your child about the problem and help you address it include a:
- family therapist or counselor
- family doctor (who may be able to refer you to a family therapist or counselor)
- minister, priest, or rabbi
- school counselor (especially if your child is stealing from the school)
- support group, such as the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP) or Cleptomaniacs and Shoplifters Anonymous (CASA), which may be able to provide information or help (look in your phone book for groups in your area)
Although most ordinary acts of theft or shoplifting are deliberate, some people who steal may have kleptomania. With this rare compulsive disorder, which makes up a very small portion of all shoplifting cases, a person feels a sense of tension or anxiety before the theft, then feels relief or gratification when committing the theft. The person may feel guilt afterward and often discard the objects after stealing them, and also might have other compulsive disorders (such as an eating disorder or obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD).
Whatever the underlying cause, if stealing is becoming a habit with your child or teen, consider speaking with a doctor or therapist to get to the cause of the behavior. It's also important to routinely monitoring your child's behavior, keep him or her away from situations in which stealing is a temptation, and establish reasonable consequences for stealing if it does occur.

Dr J.S. Chowhan
Dear Rimi Agrawal In case of PUJ obstruction case your doctor recommends surgery to deal with urinary obstruction, you might be a candidate for any new, minimally invasive approach. Now you have to decide which option you like. da Vinci® Surgery for Urinary Obstruction is a very good option because the precision is beyond the limits of human hand. This minimal access surgery, referred to as pyeloplasty, removes the blockage in the urinary system. During da Vinci robotic pyeloplasty surgery, We will reattach the healthy area of the kidney to the healthy part of the ureter and will correct the narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder . da Vinci Surgery uses state-of-the-art technology of four arm high definition da Vinci Robot to perform a more precise operation than conventional laparoscopic surgery. It provides several potential benefits on the conventional open surgery. Most common advantages of this surgery include: 1. Significantly less pain 2. Less blood loss 3. Fewer transfusions 4. Less risk of infection 5. Less scarring 6. Shorter hospital stay 7. Shorter recovery time 8. Better clinical outcomes, oftentimes In our experience at World Laparoscopy Hospital, da Vinci Surgery incorporates the best techniques of open surgery and applies these to a robotic-assisted, minimally invasive approach. The truth and dexterity from the da Vinci Surgical System enables a minimally invasive approach for urinary obstructions a better technique and may be method of choice. As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgical treatment is unique to every patient and procedure. If you are a candidate for any pyeloplasty, speak with a urologist who performs da Vinci surgery for urinary obstructions. If you want you can get da vinci pyeloplasty surgery done at our hospital. With regards J.S. Chowhan |

text: SMART KITCHENS How do we make our kitchens sizzle in our smaller suites? Through smart design and a clever choice of space-saving ideas that make the micro-refined go macro-sonic. The smart standouts: an extra-deep counter space with an additional fully-retractable countertop; a slick kitchen island/dining table combo that accommodates all your dining habits; more storage space than usual; and integrated space-saving appliances, including a combination convection oven-microwave, a tall dishwasher drawer, and an integrated fridge. Fitting right in: all the elements that allow you to cook, warm, toast, roast, chill, freeze and do all the clean up. SMART BATHROOMS Our approach to our bathrooms is to seamlessly integrate everything so that no space is wasted. What you'll see in these cleanly designed, ultra-smart spaces is this: an integrated vanity cabinet and sink, a specialty mirror/medicine cabinet with integrated lighting; a wall niche in what would otherwise be empty pipe space, for extra storage; and a custom designed shower with a seamlessly installed frameless glass door. See, small can be beautiful and a pleasure too. SMART STORAGE We maxed out storage by making every precious inch count. The result, closets that use all available cubic footage and then optimize their function with shelving all the way to the ceiling, built-in drawers, and efficient hanging areas. And, of course, we've made that high storage space easy to access with closet doors that open right to the top of the closet. SMART STORAGE For all those who want to cut the clutter and really make even the smallest of our condos count, we created a furniture package that's ideal for just moving in and grooving. This package aims at maximizing and transforming space through smart and multi-functional features. For instance, one room functions as two when there's built-in furniture that switches from a sofa in the daytime to a bed at night, and European hardware that makes the transformation effortless. You'll also find beds that have built-in storage, and living and dining room furniture chosen to fit like a glove. SMART TECHNOLOGY At Smart House we're working to bring condo living into the future. Not only will we be offering the fastest internet services available, but our Smart House Technology Package will also include a custom mobile app that will remotely control your lighting, interior temperature and ventilation, blinds, in-suite alarm and music system, as well as a whole host of time-saving and utterly convenient lifestyle options. SMART URBAN SIZE Smaller and smarter, that's Smart House. The building doesn't overwhelm the street but instead tucks in nicely (albeit with a high degree of style) to its Queen West surroundings. Because of the 4-storey zoning restriction along Queen to the east and west, Smart House is a unique opportunity in this part of town. Indeed: you won't get a chance at a building like this along this stretch of Queen ever again. Is it smart to get in on something? that cannot be repeated? Yes it is. SMART AND GREEN Reducing your carbon footprint without reducing the function of your space is smart. Complementing the walkability of our location, Smart House has features that significantly conserve energy, including energy-efficient windows, lighting, appliances and ventilation. From bike parking to the ability to individually control the use of energy in your suite and more, our green features ensure the everyday ease of eco-smart living.

Free Fight
This is it – the Highly Unofficial 2010 awards season is just about done, and all that's left is to determine the top fighters of the year. Will your favorite be here? Read on to find out.
More 2010 top 10 lists -
10 (tie) – Rick Story
All right, I know, I'm being indecisive, but when it came to the tail end of the list, I just couldn't pick two fighters out of the trio of Chris Leben, Evan Dunham, and Rick Story to leave out. One (Story) went 4-0 this year, which is an amazing feat. The second (Dunham) lost a fight, but that one fight he lost he probably should have won on the scorecards. And the third (Leben) won three big fights, but the first was over a fighter (Jay Silva) who can't be considered on the level of his other two victims. So…a three way tie, and I'm sticking to it. Anyway, Rick Story has always been a tough kid with a lot of potential. In 2010, he started to break through to the next level with two close wins over Jesse Lennox and Nick Osipczak, a brutal TKO of Dustin Hazelett, and a gut check decision victory over Johny Hendricks. Story is the real deal, and he's only going to get better.
10 (tie) – Evan Dunham
Unheralded lightweight Evan Dunham quietly made a name for himself in the UFC in 2009 with wins over Per Eklund and Marcus Aurelio, but in 2010 he moved from prospect to contender with an impressive come from behind finish of Efrain Escudero and a clear-cut decision win over Tyson Griffin. Next up for the Las Vegas resident was former UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk at UFC 119, and Dunham not only showed his talent against "The Muscle Shark", but he showed his heart and grit in battling back from a nasty cut over his eye to arguably win a fight which ultimately went to Sherk via a controversial split decision.
10 (tie) - Chris Leben
Entering 2010, Chris Leben's UFC career was on the line after back-to-back losses to Michael Bisping and Jake Rosholt, but amazingly, by the time he forced Yoshihiro Akiyama to tap out in the third round of their UFC 116 bout in July, he was back among the ranks of middleweight contenders. This amazing transformation took place thanks to wins this year over Jay Silva, Aaron Simpson, and the aforementioned Akiyama, with the latter two victories occurring within a two week period. Next up for the resurgent "Crippler" is a January 1st date with Brian Stann.
9 – Rashad Evans
Following the loss of his UFC light heavyweight title via knockout to Lyoto Machida in May of 2009, fight fans were wondering how Rashad Evans was going to react in his next bout. Well, in January he decisioned Thiago Silva, going back to his wrestling roots and surviving a late sequence when Silva got him in trouble. And four months later he headlined another major event when he took on – and beat – bitter rival Quinton "Rampage" Jackson with another solid wrestling-based victory at UFC 114 in May. Some would say "Suga" is back, but in reality, he never left, and in 2011 he will be rewarded with a shot at light heavyweight boss Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
8 – Yushin Okami
Long seen as the forgotten man in the middleweight division, Japan's Yushin Okami always seemed to be one win away from the big one when he would slip back into the shadows after key losses to Rich Franklin and Chael Sonnen. But in 2010, "Thunder" put it all together. First it was an impressive stoppage of Lucio Linhares in March, then a decision win over Mark Munoz in August, and in November, Okami capped things off with a decision victory over Nate Marquardt that earned him a middleweight championship fight. And while he's not always the most exciting 185-pounder, he's definitely one of the toughest to beat.
7 – Jim Miller
Speaking of tough to beat, the only fighters to ever pin a loss on New Jersey's Jim Miller have been a couple of pretty fair lightweights named Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. In the UFC, Miller is 8-1, including six in a row, and it was in 2010 that the rest of the world got on the bandwagon, as the fierce, yet soft-spoken, competitor went 4-0 with wins over Duane Ludwig, Mark Bocek, Gleison Tibau, and Charles Oliveira. And after beating Oliveira via submission at UFC 124, Miller finally spoke up, asking for his shot in 2011. It's hard to argue with him.
6 - Junior dos Santos
Just 26, Brazil's Junior dos Santos continued his whirlwind ride through the heavyweight division in 2010, knocking out veterans Gilbert Yvel and Gabriel Gonzaga with relative ease before a three round gut check against Roy "Big Country" Nelson in August at UFC 117. It wasn't a fight where dos Santos was really threatened, but after hitting his foe with everything in his arsenal, he was forced to show the ability to go three fast-paced rounds with a dangerous opponent while growing increasingly fatigued. It wasn't the same as his previous foray into the third frame against Mirko Cro Cop, yet he still came out of the fight victorious and with practically everyone in agreement that when he gets his shot at the heavyweight crown in 2011, it's going to be something to remember.
5 – Georges St-Pierre
With back-to-back shutouts of top contenders Dan Hardy and Josh Koscheck, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre continues to make it look easy at the elite level of the game. Beating these guys is a feat in itself, but to take the drama out of the fights as early as the first round is nothing short of amazing. Next in line for St-Pierre is an interesting style matchup against Jake Shields, but considering that he hasn't lost a round in over three years, it's hard – if not impossible – to pick against the champion in any fight at 170 pounds.
4 – George Sotiropoulos
Winner of eight straight (seven in the UFC) dating back to late 2006, Australia native George Sotiropoulos is another fighter who had his coming out party this year, as he dismantled a formidable trio of Joe Stevenson, Kurt Pellegrino, and Joe Lauzon, putting him squarely in the lightweight title picture. And with his improved all-around game, Octagon vision, and quiet intensity, he's going to be a nightmare matchup for anyone at 155 pounds, including his February 2011 foe, Dennis Siver.
3 – Mauricio Rua
It's never hard for a fighter to get up for a world title fight. When you lose a controversial decision many think you won, it has to be difficult to go through the physical and mental trials necessary to do it all over again. But Mauricio Rua did it. And not only that, but in his championship rematch against Lyoto Machida in May, he scored the defining win of his career via first round knockout. What made the victory sweeter was the journey it took to get there. From a loss in his UFC debut to Forrest Griffin to two knee surgeries, Rua got to the top in the Octagon the hard way, and even though he has been sidelined since the bout due to injury, he is rehabbed, healthy and ready to go for an early-2011 title defense against Rashad Evans.
2 – Cain Velasquez
It seemed like Cain Velasquez was being groomed for the heavyweight title from the first time he put on the gloves, but in most situations like that, the reality falls far short of expectations. Not here, and in 2010, after working his way up the ranks, Velasquez fulfilled all his promise, first with a knockout of heavyweight legend "Minotauro" Nogueira in February, and then with a TKO of Brock Lesnar in October that earned him the title "World Champion." What's scary about Velasquez is that he probably hasn't reached his peak yet and that he won't stop working until he gets there. Of course, in this sport all it takes is one punch to derail anyone, but it's looking like Velasquez may stay on top for a while should he get past Junior dos Santos in 2011.
1 – Frankie Edgar
Rightfully deserving of a lightweight title shot, Frankie Edgar still wasn't considered likely to be the one to defeat the seemingly unstoppable 155-pound king, BJ Penn. Edgar and his team just ignored the odds, put together an intense training camp and fight plan, and walked into Abu Dhabi in April with one goal in mind – to win the belt. And after five close rounds, it was Edgar who shocked the world and took the title from "The Prodigy" behind a disciplined 25 minute attack.
It was the 'feel good' story of the year, but it didn't keep Edgar from the underdog position once again for the August rematch with Penn. But again, the pride of Toms River ignored the talk, and again, he beat Penn via five round decision at UFC 118. Only this time, there were no questions and no close rounds. And when Penn bounced back from the two defeats to knock out Matt Hughes in 21 seconds at UFC 123, it not only showed that Penn still had plenty left in his gas tank, but that Frankie Edgar didn't beat a shell of a fighter twice – he beat a prime BJ Penn. Will he be an underdog again in the future? Probably. But given his 2010 performance, you get the idea that he doesn't really care.
Honorable Mention: Anderson Silva, Carlos Condit, Nate Diaz, Chris Lytle, Jon Jones, Gray Maynard, Melvin Guillard, Brendan Schaub, Matt Hamill, Ryan Bader, Randy Couture, Chael Sonnen, CB Dollaway, Kyle Noke, Court McGee, Jake Ellenberger

Ah, summertime – road trips, family vacations, and… teen drivers. If you have a teen driver in the family, he or she is going to want to drive more than during school days. Keeping everyone safe becomes more of a concern during the summer months. There are thousands of younger drivers on the road, many of whom don't have extensive driving experience, thereby increasing the risk of an accident.
Driving experience makes a difference. For example, a teen driver may not respond to a sudden road hazard the way a more experienced driver would. You can reduce the risks for your teen driver by ensuring he or she understands the types of dangers that come with summer driving.
Be extra careful when driving on congested highways and streets. There are higher numbers of people on the roadways traveling to vacation spots in cars, SUVs, and RVs. Always drive with extra room between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Highway pileups can be a disaster and are usually the result of drivers following too closely.
Check your tires! The last thing you need is a blowout. It is not only a hassle, but it is also extremely dangerous if you are traveling at higher speeds on highways. Before heading out on your family vacation or allowing your teen to get behind the wheel, check to ensure that all four tires are in good shape. During the hot summer months, the air inside the tires expands, creating a higher potential for a dangerous tire blowout.
Bicycles and motorcycles are sharing the roadways. All teen drivers must be carefully educated to watch for and avoid bicyclists and motorcyclists.
Road construction – watch for it! Many accidents occur in construction zones. Watch for the cone zones and teach your teen to slow down, be extra cautious, and follow the speed limits and warnings.
No texting while driving. Teens are attached to their phones, and it can be difficult for them to avoid looking at or sending a text while behind the wheel. Parents have the option of installing safety apps that make it impossible to text while the vehicle is in motion.
Beware of drunk drivers on holidays. Drinking and driving contributes to a high percentage of fatal accidents across the USA. On holidays, the numbers ramp up even higher. Avoid driving during holidays if possible, and if you must be on the road, operate your vehicle with extra caution.
Summer Safe Driving Rules: A "Must" for Teens
Statistically, the summer months lead to higher numbers of auto crashes caused by teen drivers. Thankfully, we are here to help everyone in our community stay safe. Do you need to put auto insurance in place to cover a new driver in the family? Talk to us – we always look for the best deals for our clients. We are happy to review your current insurance and help you find something that gives you better coverage at a lower rate. Call today and speak with us about your auto insurance, and don't forget to drive safe!

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for choosing to receive orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, having braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of as well as the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, so our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
How Orthodontic Treatment Works
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose brackets that are clear or metallic, and in some cases, choose the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Duration of Treatment
Depending on several factors, including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is, treatment time varies and can last between one and three years. For children, receiving interceptive, or early treatment, can also help provide a quicker treatment time later on in life. A big factor to a successful treatment is you, the patient! The more involved and diligent you are, the quicker and more efficient your treatment will be.
Before beginning your orthodontic care, your doctor will discuss all of your options and provide an estimate for how long your full treatment may take. Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment and learn more about orthodontics and the treatments we provide.
Types of Braces
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth by using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces; however, self-ligating braces do not require the use of elastics, meaning fewer appointments and less friction being placed on the tooth. Self-ligating braces come with traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but they use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and requires fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene, as ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth rather than on lower teeth.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are also removable, allowing you to eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, this helps to make brushing and flossing less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
Gold Braces
Gold braces are similar to traditional metal braces. Like traditional metal braces, gold braces are made of stainless steel; however, they are coated in gold. The gold coating may be considered a more cosmetic option than traditional metal braces. And, the cost of gold braces is surprisingly comparable to most clear braces.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are therefore "invisible" when you smile. Lingual braces are 100% customized to match the shape of your teeth. Lingual braces are a very reasonable option for athletes, models, actors/actresses, musicians who play wind instruments, and adult professionals.

28 Dec 5 Tips for Making Your Best Offer on a Home
As a buyer in a sellers' market, sometimes it can feel like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. When you're ready to make an offer on a home, remember these five easy tips to help you rise above the competition.
1. Know Your Budget
Knowing your budget and what you can afford is critical to your success as a homebuyer. The best way to understand your numbers is to work with a lender so you can get pre-approved for a loan. As Freddie Mac puts it:
"This pre-approval allows you to look for a home with greater confidence and demonstrates to the seller that you are a serious buyer."
Showing sellers you're serious can give you a competitive edge, and it helps you act quickly when you've found your perfect home.
2. Be Ready To Move Fast
Homes are selling quickly in today's competitive housing market. According to the Existing Home Sales Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR):
"Eighty-three percent of homes sold in November 2021 were on the market for less than a month."
When houses are selling this fast, staying on top of the market and moving quickly are key. Your agent can help you put together and submit your best offer as soon as you find the home you want to buy.
3. Lean on a Real Estate Professional
No matter what the housing market looks like, rely on a trusted real estate advisor. As Freddie Mac also notes:
"The success of your homebuying journey largely depends on the company you keep. . . . Be sure to select experienced, trusted professionals who will help you make informed decisions and avoid any pitfalls."
Agents are experts in the local real estate market. They have insight into what's worked for other buyers in your area and what sellers may be looking for in an offer. It may seem simple, but catering to what a seller needs can help your offer stand out.
4. Make a Strong, but Fair Offer
According to the latest Realtors Confidence Index from NAR, 40% of offers today are above the list price. In such a competitive market, emotions and prices can run high. Having an agent to help you submit a strong, yet fair offer is critical in these situations. Your agent can help you understand the market value of the home and recent sales trends in the area.
5. Be a Flexible Negotiator
When putting together an offer, your trusted real estate advisor will help you consider which levers you can pull, including contract contingencies (conditions you set that the seller must meet for the purchase to be finalized). Of course, there are certain contingencies you don't want to give up. Freddie Mac explains:
"Resist the temptation to waive the inspection contingency, especially in a hot market or if the home is being sold 'as-is', which means the seller won't pay for repairs. Without an inspection contingency, you could be stuck with a contract on a house you can't afford to fix."
Bottom Line
Today's competitive landscape makes it more important than ever to make a strong offer on a home. Let's connect to make sure you rise to the top along the way.

Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern who once suggested "gays are worse than terrorism" is back to demonizing gays again. In an unusually public ceremony, Rep. Kern signed a "Proclamation for Morality," which blames the U.S.'s current economic crisis on, among other acts of "debauchery," same-sex marriage.
Part of her proclamation reads:
WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; andYesterday at the State House Sally Kern read and signed the proclamation, protesters and supporters chanted and sang:
WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery; and
WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and
WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused
to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and
WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior.
Sally Kern is suggesting our economic troubles are due to same-sex marriage and Obama recognizing June as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride month? Maybe, if she spent less time obsessing about gays and more time doing her job we wouldn't have an economic crisis!
Contact Rep. Kern and voice your disapproval!

Mortgage Brokers are independent, trained professionals licensed to represent and provide you with the best advice for your mortgage needs.
Mortgage Brokers primary expertise is locating funding for mortgage financing. They know where the best rates can be found. What's more, they have the knowledge required to present a proposal for financing to lenders in the best way possible to successfully obtain mortgage financing.
So why deal with a Mortgage Broker?
Mortgage Brokers represent you, the customer, not the lender. Because they are not employees of a lending institution, Brokers are not limited in the product they can offer you. Brokers seek out the best lender package to suit your specific situation, whether it's with a Chartered Bank, Trust or Insurance Company, or Private Funds.
There is a wide assortment of options and features available to homebuyers today. Shopping around takes a lot of time and effort. The mortgage process within today's very competitive marketplace intimidates many Canadian homebuyers. It pays to work with a mortgage professional who will represent you and ensure the mortgage you get is the one best suited to your needs.
Choosing the wrong mortgage can cost you thousands of extra dollars. Mortgage Brokers are trained professionals who can help you save on your mortgage dollar.
Reasons to use a Mortgage Broker
• Access to different lenders, banks, trust companies, investors and financial institutions.
• Fast credit and loan pre-approvals with no cost or obligation. (Some conditions may apply)
• They are experts at matching you with the best-suited mortgage.
• Get mortgage rates at wholesale, guaranteed up to 120 days.
• They work for YOU, not the bank.
• Up-to-date on all the mortgage rates, terms and re-payment options available on the market.
• They only specialize in mortgages and are knowledgeable on current trends.
• They increase competition in the market place, thus keeping rates low.
• They save you time and money!
• Brokers have vested interest in satisfying your needs since they rely on referrals and repeat business.
Other than rates, why should I use a Mortgage Broker?
In addition to rates, because mortgage-based financing is the broker's primary business, he or she has developed expertise in what type of mortgage financing each lender prefers to pursue. This kind of knowledge not only results in the most favourable rates for each project, but often whether a project is funded at all.
How do Mortgage Brokers Find Superior Rates?
Interest rates are a concern to borrowers. Because of their daily contact with lenders, brokers know which project or home attracts a favorable interest rate from one institution, but a higher rate at another. Some institutions, in fact, will only accept mortgage submissions from mortgage brokers.
These rates, and preferences for types of mortgages, can change daily, depending on economic circumstances or based on the size of an institution's portfolio in a particular type of mortgage. Your Mortgage Broker keeps current and knows which lender to approach first. As a result, mortgage rates obtained by Brokers are among the best available at the time of placement.
Why should I go to a Mortgage Broker first?
A professional presentation to a lender on the first application will get the best response and save you valuable time and money. Secondary applications with previous credit bureau inquiries may be more costly.
Often the success of obtaining mortgage approval depends on the way a proposal is presented and to whom it is sent. Your Mortgage Broker is trained to present your mortgage proposal where and how it will get the most immediate, positive result.
You don't call an insurance company for insurance - you use an insurance broker, because of their expertise, product knowledge and rates. So remember, call your mortgage broker first!
How do Brokers get better deals than many Banks?
The lenders who work with mortgage brokers include traditional sources, such as chartered banks, trust companies, as well as corporate and private pension funds.
In addition to these sources, brokers often develop professional relationships with private sources of funds, termed private lenders. These lenders can provide many various mortgage products not available at conventional sources.

The following turnaround times are based on average turnaround and can vary depending on production load.
Turnaround times are divided between manufacturing time and transport time.
Manufacturing Turnaround Times
Typically standard items will be manufactured within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the metal finish and production load.
Smaller items such as basin sets, 3 piece shower sets, accessories and spare parts in Antique Brass (AB), Chrome Plate (CP), Raw Brass (RB) and Polish to Plate (PP) may ship from Adelaide within a couple of weeks from order as we hold a reasonable amount of assembled stock (or near finished) for these metal finishes.
Typically manufactured to order item turnaround times will vary between 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the metal finish and production load. Some exposed tapware sets may also have this type of turnaround time, especially at times when demand for these more complicated to manufacture sets is high.
If specific turnaround times are required please contact our office to discuss further and see what is possible.
Transit Turnaround Times
South Australia
We use a local courier service within Adelaide and surrounding areas, local orders leave our factory each morning and are usually delivered same day or at latest by the following day.
If items are needed urgently locally they can be arranged for collection from our factory once ready. If intending to do this please contact our office.
For regional South Australia we use a next day road courier service with pickups from our factory occurring each afternoon.
Australia Wide
For interstate deliveries we use multiple national couriers to deliver our products via road, rail and air.
Items that can be sent around Australia in 1kg, 3kg or 5kg airbags usually have a next day delivery time frame (it can be 2 ~ 3 days for regional areas).
Bulkier items are sent via road and will usually follow the following transit times:
1 ~ 2 days for Victoria.
2 ~ 3 Days for New South Wales, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory.
4 ~ 6 days for Queensland, Western Australia and Northern Territory.
These delivery times are to be used as a guide, they can be subject to factors that are outside of our control such as transport strikes, traffic accidents, natural disasters, pandemics, or other out of the ordinary disruptions.
If faster transit for bulkier items is needed within Australia, there are air service options available at additional charge, please contact our office to arrange. Please note that some longer or odd packed shape items (like certain shower curtain rails) are not suitable for air transit and can only transit by road.
International courier services are selected per specific order requirements and per region. Where possible an economy air service is used and transit from Adelaide is between 7 to 14 days.

Rapid Action® (in Summary)
Rapid Action® performs the same turning action as ceramic disc but the maintenance is cheaper and easier.
Rapid Action® tapware:
- opens and closes in quarter to half a turn.
- is standard with all Roulette Lever (excluding Roulette Lever Single Lever Mixers), Torrens Ranges, Celestial Lever, and CB Ideal Seaview Series tapware.
- is available with all other ranges on request (excluding Roulette Lever Single Lever Mixers & the DB Mixer Series) .
- is suitable for low-pressure hot water supply, tank or bore with pressure pump.
Why did we develop it?
For ease of maintenance.
It uses a hydroseal valve and standard BS110 o-rings. A handyman or handywoman can change a hydroseal valve in the same manner as a normal jumper valve, and it is available from hardware shops. Packets of BS110 o-rings are also available here. The ceramic disc system needs a plumber and the appropriate kit for the model tap. Installation & servicing instructions for Rapid Action® spindles are supplied with the tapware and are also available for download here.
Rapid Action® (in Detail)
Standard CB Spindle | CB Rapid Action Spindle | |
Question: | What is Rapid Action? |
Answer: | This term describes the mechanism which enables the tap to be fully opened or closed in less than half a turn. In conventional tapware the handle (A) turns the spindle (B) 3 to 4 full rotations up or down the thread inside the bonnet (C) and this raises or lowers the valve (D) which either lets water through the seat of the tap or shuts it off. In ceramic disc tapware the valve is replaced by ceramic discs which slide over each other (think of the twist-caps on salt and spice dispensers). When the tap is closed the ceramic discs completely cover the tap seat; when the tap is opened the discs slide to cover each other and so leave an opening which allows water to flow. In 'Rapid Action' tapware the handle (A1) turns the spindle (B1) up or down the specialized and very accurately machined thread inside the bonnet (C1), which enables the spindle to rise to the full open position in less than half a turn of the handle. The valve (D1), which therefore either completely opens or closes the tap seat, is of a specialized type, and very accurately manufactured, which provides a perfect seal when the tap handle is closed (without the need for extra-hard turning of the handle which often happens with conventional tapware). 'Rapid Action' tapware demonstrates high quality and accuracy of manufacture, and the design also allows for ease of maintenance. The Hydroseal valves (available at all good hardware stores) can be changed as easily and quickly as in a conventional tap. Packets of BS110 o-rings are also available here. Because there are a number of different ceramic disc systems on the market (all imported) it can be quite difficult to find and then fit the exact replacement part when the need arises. Installation & servicing instructions for Rapid Action® spindles are supplied with the tapware and are also available for download here. |
Question: | Do 'Rapid Action' taps turn on and off the same way as ordinary taps? |
Answer: |
If they look like ordinary taps, they turn like ordinary taps too – both hot and cold turn on anticlockwise and off clockwise. With lever tapware (Celestial Lever, Torrens Lever, Torrens Flared Lever and Roulette Lever) the hot tap turns in the opposite direction to the cold. Reference diagrams of which way the lever tapware will turn can be found here: Rapid Action Turning Directions |
Question: | Does 'Rapid Action' Tapware turn through a quarter turn or a half turn? |
Answer: | More than a quarter turn (because a quarter turn gives no graduation – the water is either off or on) and less than a half turn (because this would make the longer levers very uncomfortable to use). |
Question: | Is 'Rapid Action' Tapware suitable if there is low-pressure hot water supply, or if the supply is from a tank or bore by means of a pressure pump? |
Answer: |
Yes, because the design allows the full flow that is possible through the seat of the tap when the tap is fully open. Ceramic discs restrict the flow somewhat, even when the tap handle is in the fully open position. When the hot water supply is low pressure and the cold water is at high pressure, it may be more difficult to achieve a comfortable mixture because there is not enough graduation in less than half a turn to control the high pressure cold water – in such a situation a conventional CB standard action tap would probably be more successful.
A note about Rapid Action® for the Heritage® collection |
When upgrading Bib / Pillar Spindles on Heritage from Standard Action to Rapid Action, the look will change from the standard Heritage® bell shape bonnet to then use the sheath cover from the Roulette® Series. |
As of the 12th of March 2015, we, CB Ideal Tapware Pty Ltd have upgraded our standard warranty from 12 months to 5 years per the terms outlined below. This warranty statement superceeds that shown in the 2014 Price Book and a copy is included with applicable products sold after this date.
Warranty Statement
We (the above-named Company) accept responsibility for any fault due to our own materials or workmanship except for subjective variations or random unavoidable blemishes of a minor non-functional nature. This acceptance of responsibility is for five years from date of installation, proof of which may be required. The product (concealed or exposed) will be repaired or replaced at no cost, provided that in-wall fittings are fully tested and have also been manufactured by the Company.
This warranty does not cover misuse of the product or damage incurred during installation. Our products are made to Australian Standards and are designed to be used to a maximum temperature of 65 degrees Celsius and to a maximum operating pressure of 500kPa at any outlet within a building (Refer to Plumbing Code of Australia - AS/NZS:3500). The warranty is voided if the product is used above these limits. To make a claim the consumer should return to the seller of the product for advice, and to establish proof of purchase. The seller will then contact us, and our representative will contact the consumer to arrange whatever after-sales service is required. The consumer's cost for making a warranty claim (e.g. freight) is discussed at the same time.
For after-sales service the consumer may also contact us direct at:-
CB Ideal Tapware Pty Ltd.
1a Deloraine Road, Edwardstown S.A. 5039
Ph: 08 8276 6766 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This warranty is in addition to other rights and remedies under law:
"Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and this failure does not amount to a major failure."
Installation and Maintenance – effect on warranty
The company provides installation instructions for certain products as a guide to the qualified tradesman/installer, but accepts no liability whatsoever for faulty installation.
The Company provides care instructions for various finishes; however because the actions of the user are outside the Company's control it accepts no liability for deterioration of finishes outside the warranty period.
Please consider the following factors before the warranty is invoked.
• | Any work on the water pipes can cause grit or shavings to be inside the pipes. Usually pipes are flushed to remove debris, but if any remains it may lodge in the aerator or underneath the tap valve. |
• | The aerator case has a fine thread. If the aerator has to be removed then great care should be taken to ensure that the thread is not crossed when the case is replaced. |
• | Lever taps are set correctly in our factory, but may need to be reset if altered during installation. The leaflet included with each lever set explains this very simple operation which is really part of the installation process. |
