An apparatus for handling facing sheets for application to pressed board and other laminate stacks adapted to be bonded together comprises a feed device for causing engagement of the uppermost sheet of a pile of facing sheets with a pick-up device of a drum which destacks the sheets individually and advances them to an assembling table at which the laminate stack is formed. The drum is associated with a reversible drive for enabling the trailing end of the sheet to pass a discharge point, whereupon reversal of the direction of rotation of the drum feeds the sheet with its trailing end foremost to the laminate stack thereby enabling the facing sheets to be applied alternately with their top faces turned upwardly or downwardly.

The present invention relates to a device for the manipulation of facing sheets adapted to be applied to a laminate stack which can be bonded together into a unitary structure and, more particularly, to a device which enables the facing sheet to be applied to the underside or topside of such stack.
In the preparation of pressed board, i.e. a relatively rigid structure which can be pressed from various materials and bonded with the aid of natural or synthetic resins, it is not uncommon to apply flexible facing sheets to the upper surface or the lower surface of a core formed by the pressed board, thereby constituting a laminate. Facing sheets of various types may be employed. For example, the facing sheet may be a contoured and patterned layer which is applied to impart a desired pattern to the pressed board in the formation of so-called paneling or decorative pressed board. The facing sheet may also, if desired, be a sealing layer or a protective layer whose function it is to protect against wear and underlying layer, e.g. a patterned sheet of the type described. In all of these cases it is necessary, in forming a laminate of pressed board to apply a facing sheet to the press board or, more generally, to a stack.
The term "pressed board" is used herein to refer generally to all parts of fiber and particle boards, whether the latter are porous or impermeable to fluids or whether the bonding resins are naturally occuring materials present in the particles to be bonded together, or are synthetic resins which may be firmly activated to effect the bonding under heat and pressure.
In practically all cases, the laminate is subjected to pressure, e.g. in a platen press, and usually also to heating to activate the synthetic resin binder.
Typical material which can be used in particle and fiber boards for the aforedescribed purpose, are wood chips, saw dust, other wood particles, cellulosic and wood fibers, mixtures of cellulosic fibers and other fibers and the like. In addition, the laminate may include a pressed board of the aforedescribed type sandwiched between or having on one side thereof a layer of wood in the form of veneer. In this case, the particles or fiber board may be a core flanked between a pair of such veneers in the manner of plywood.
The binder which is customarily used can be the natural abietic resins of the wood particles or fibers or synthetic resins preferably of the thermally hardenable type such as melamine, phenolformaldehyde, resorcinol and urea resins.
With the process of the present invention any pressed board, particle board, fiber board or composite or sandwich board of the aforedescribed type may be used.
It has been proposed heretofore, in the manipulation of sheets, to provide a device for the handling of sheets which includes a device for removing a single sheet from a stack of such sheets, a manipulating drum having a fixing device for entraining the leading edge of a sheet fed from the aforementioned stack and carrying the sheet to a location remote from this stack, and a table or surface for assembling the laminate stack at the latter location, the sheet carried by the drum being generally fed with its leading edge foremost on the assembling table or surface. The fixing device on the drum can be a clamp or a suction head which can release the leading edge of the sheet as the latter approaches the assembly table, the advance of the sheet after release of the leading edge being effected by frictional engagement of the periphery of the drum with the sheet.
A pressing unit, e.g. a plurality of pressure rollers angularly spaced about the periphery of the drum, can be provided for holding the sheet against the drum periphery while the latter advances the sheet onto the assembly table after the fixing device has been released. Between the table and the drum, moreover, means can be provided for deflecting the sheet onto the table away from the periphery of the drum.
A device for manipulating sheets in the manner described has not been found to be effective for the application of facing sheets to pressed board in all instances and these devices are, therefore, more generally used for the handling of paper sheets, synthetic foil sheets or the like in connection with printing plants or plants for the fabrication of bags or sacks.
One of the problems encountered in attempting to use such a device for the handling of facing sheets in connection with the fabrication of faced particle board, fiber board or the like resides in the fact that the sheets can only be applied in one sense to the stack, i.e. to the upper face of the sheet as it is removed from the stack being applied to the assembly cable with its upper face in the same orientation. Thus when it is desired to apply a facing sheet at the bottom of the stack with its upper face turned downwardly and a sheet at the top of the stack with its upper face turned upwardly, the device or apparatus described is not satisfactory.
Typical facing sheets or overlays for pressed board are asymmetrical, i.e. have a synthetic-resin impregnated surface which must be turned toward the pressed board so that, upon the application of heat and pressures to the laminate, the synthetic resin impregnated side bonds to the remainder of the stack or laminate. This underscores the importance of being able to apply these sheets with alternating orientation to the assembly table since, if upper and lower facing sheets are to be applied, they must be oriented oppositely so that at all times the synthetic resin impregnated side of the facing sheet contacts the core of the pressed board.
It is the principal object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for the handling of sheets, especially facing sheets for pressed board laminates, which enables the application, if desired, of such sheets with alternately reversed orientation to the upper and lower surfaces of the stack.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus particularly adapted for use in the fabrication of faced chip board, particle board and fiber board or the like which selectively enables the application of the successive sheets to the laminate with the same orientation or with alternately reversed orientation.
These objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are retained, in accordance with the present invention, in a system of the aforedescribed type in which the drum is flanked by two pressure assemblies, one of which is effective while the sheet is advanced with its leading edge forwardly in the direction of advance while the other becomes effective when, upon reversal of rotation direction of the drum, the sheet is displaced with its trailing edge foremost onto the assembly surface previously described. Between the pressure units, there is provided a deflecting element which is selectively operable to feed the sheet from the forward pressure unit onto the assembly table or to feed the sheet from the reverse pressure unit onto the assembly table.
According to the invention, when the sheet is to be deposited upon the assembly table with the upper surface (at the sheet stack) being upwardly facing in the laminate stack, the sheet is engaged at its leading edge by the fixing device and is held against the periphery of the drum while the latter rotates in one sense to carry the sheet toward the assembly table. The fixing device is then released and the deflecting element comes into play to direct the leading edge of the sheet onto the table, whereupon the pressure between trailing portions of the sheet by the forward pressure unit, causes the periphery of the drum to advance the sheet to the collecting table.
If the sheet is required at the collecting table in the opposite orientation, i.e. with its upper surface (in the sheet stack) turned downwardly, the deflecting element is not operated as the leading edge approaches and the leading edge is entrained past the deflecting element toward the pick-up point until the trailing edge is disposed in the region of the deflector; drum rotation is then reversed and the sheet is fed with its trailing edge foremost onto the collecting table, thereby depositing the sheet thereon with the upper face turned downwardly. The sheet can be deposited directly upon the collecting surface, whereupon the balance of the pressed board can be applied to the sheet, and a further facing sheet can then be applied with its upper surface turned upwardly.
According to a feature of the invention, the deflecting element can be symmetrical about a plane which can correspond to the level of the collecting table. Furthermore, the deflecting element is generally disposed at the level of the collecting assembly table which can be vertically displaceable, i.e. lowerable so that, after the first facing sheet has been applied and the remainder of the pressed board deposited thereon, the table is lowered so that the upper facing sheet is applied at the level of the deflector.
While each of the rollers of the forward pressure roller unit and/or the reverse pressure roller unit can be driven synchronously with the drum, i.e. with the same peripheral speed as that of the drum, it is also contemplated within the invention that they merely be entrained by friction.
The pressure units of the present invention can have various configurations although it is preferred that both the forward and reverse pressure units be constituted by rollers angularly spaced along the periphery of the drum, the forward pressure unit being disposed on one side of the drum while the reverse pressure unit is disposed on the opposite side of the drum.
However, it is also possible within the scope of the present invention to provide the pressure units as pressure belts which are held against the periphery of the drum and urge the sheet thereagainst.
The deflecting element can be of relatively simple form. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the deflecting element is a deflecting beam having upwardly and downwardly directed trained deflecting nozzles through which jets of air can be ejected for lifting the leading or trailing edges of the sheet away from the periphery of the drum and causing these edges to engage curved surfaces which guide the sheet onto the collectingly assembly table. In addition, the beam may be wedge shaped against the oncoming leading edge and, symmetrically, wedge shaped and converging against the advancing trailing edge upon reversal of rotation of the drum.
Furthermore, the collecting assembly table can be provided with transport rollers or associated with such transport rollers to facilitate the advance of the sheet onto the collecting table.
In practice, for doubly faced pressed board, the manipulating drum is alternately or selectively switched between simple forward transport movement or alternate transport and transport plus reverse movement depending upon how the facing sheet is to be applied to the chipped board, fiber board or the like. The control movements can be effected by any system using modern control technology, e.g. a preprogrammed computer, a cam arrangement with cam follower switches operating pneumatic or electrical mechanisms or by card, tape or like control, all of which are known in the art.
The advantage gained by the present system will be immediately apparent in that it permits manipulation of facing sheets for the fabrication of chipped board, fiber board, particle board or the like such that the facing sheets can be applied with alternate orientations to the balance of the laminate.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a side-elevational view of a device for manipulating facing sheets for application to a laminate stack in the production of particle board, fiber board or the like, showing the system in the position in which a facing sheet has just been picked up by the drum;
FIG. 2 is a detailed view of a portion of the device of FIG. 1 drawing to an enlarged scale, showing the position of the elements just before the position in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view on the scale of FIG. 1 and corresponding thereto, but illustrating only a portion of the device, showing the position of the elements during the deposition of the facing sheet upon the collecting table;
FIG. 4 is a detail view of the region of the deflecting element, drawn to a still larger scale, and corresponding to a view taken in the direction of arrow A of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 showing the position of the system when a reverse movement is to be produced but prior to this reverse movement of the sheet;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 showing the inception of the reverse movement;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but taken in the region B of FIG. 6 and showing the reverse movement, drawn to an enlarged scale;
FIG. 8 is a timing diagram illustrating the sequencing of the various devices of the system described in connection with FIG. 1 and 6; and
FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but showing the use of a belt as the pressure unit undergoes the forward and reverse operations.
The sheet-handling device shown in the drawing comprises an apparatus for delivering the facing sheets 1 to be applied to a pressed board laminate to an assembly table 7 on the underside of the stack or at the upper side thereof, the stack further including at least one particle board mat, fiber-board mat or like precursor for the fabrication of pressed board.
The apparatus basically comprises a device generally represented at 1 for lifting the leading edge of a facing sheet 1 from a pile 3 thereof upon a feed table 20 which can be raised and lowered as represented by the arrow 21 via the telescoping tube arrangement 22.
The feed device 2 is designed to position the leading edge 6 of the sheet in juxtaposition with the pickup 5 of a drum 4 which is rotable about a horizontal axis by a drum drive 23 adapted to displace the drum in the clockwise or the counterclockwise sense selectively to predetermined angular extents. The pickup 5 is here shown to comprise a suction chamber 5a covered by a screen 5b and connected via a passage 24 to a suction source represented at 25 via a valve 26. The pickup 5 can also represent pickup clamps adapted to engage over the leading edge of the sheet to entrain the latter along the periphery 4a of the drum.
Remote from the table 20, there is provided a collecting or assembly table 7 which also is mounted on a telescoping tube support 27 so that it can be raised and lowered as indicated by the arrow 28.
The drum 4 can have an elastic periphery 4a composed of rubber so that a forward pressing unit 8 can retain a sheet against the periphery even upon release of the leading edge of the sheet once the sheet passes into the action region of the unit 8. The elastic periphery permits sheets of different thickness or plural layers to be handled.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the unit 8 comprises a plurality of rollers 18 which can be frictionally entrained or can be driven as shown by the arrows, i.e. in the counterclockwise sense when the drum 4 is driven in the clockwise sense represented by the arrow 9. Alternatively the pressure device can be a belt system 8a having an endless belt 8b passing over rollers 8c and 8d and adapted to hold a sheet against the periphery of the drum.
On the opposite side of the plane 17 corresponding to the plane of delivery of the sheet to the laminate or stack 17a, there is provided a reverse pressure unit 12 entrained or rotable in the clockwise sense when the drum 4 is rotated in the counterclockwise sense represented by arrow 14. Alternatively, this presure unit can be constituted by the belt arrangement 12a shown in FIG. 9.
The feed unit 2 comprises a hold-down member 11 which can be raised or lowered by an actuator, e.g. a solenoid or pneumatic cylinder controlled by a valve or switch as represented at 30.
A suction cup 2 can be raised or lowered in a telescoping arm 10 which is swingable about a pivot 10a and connects the suction cup 10b with a valve suction source in the usual manner. The advance of the cup 10b toward the stack or pile of sheets is effected by the cup control 31 which can be a valve switch controlling the delivery of fluid pressure to the pneumatic cylinder operating the telescoping arms or a solenoid actuating the inner arm.
The swinging movement of the arm 10 is effected by electrical or pneumatic controllers 32 and 33 for movement in the clockwise and counterclockwise sense from the position shown in FIG. 2.
The control elements described previously and subsequently are synchronized by conventional control means, e.g. cam arrangements or an electronic programmer in accordance with the timing diagram given in FIG. 8. Substantially in the plane 17, there is also provided a deflecting element 13, the structure of which will be more readily understandable from FIGS. 4 and 7. Member 13 is of triangular profile and has wedge-shaped portions 19a and 19b turned into the path of the leading and trailing edges of the sheet, respectively, and extending into arcuate guide surfaces 40 affecting a transition to the plane 17. At the vertices of the wedge portions 19a and 19b, nozzles 19 are provided and are connected with compressed air sources 34 and 35 via controllable valves.
In operation, the hold-down device 11 (t1 in FIG. 8) lowers to engage the uppermost sheet 1 on the pile 3 and prevent the latter from sliding to the left on the stack. During its clockwise movement, the suction cup 2 has been lowered and is evacuated to engage the upper surface of the sheet 1 and cause the latter to bulge upwardly at 1a as is also apparent from FIG. 2. The clockwise movement of arm 10 then commences (t2) and the arm 10 is then swung in the counterclockwise sense to carry the leading edge 6 of the uppermost sheet into juxtaposition with the suction device 5. The latter has been carried by the moving drum into this position and the suction is then turned on t3 to engage the sheet with the drum 4. The drum 4 is then driven in the forward direction (clockwise, arrow 9) with the sheet 1 being pressed against the periphery of the drum by the rollers 18 of the forward pressure unit 8. The leading edge is then released by the pickup 5 as it approaches the deflector 13 and, at t4, the upper feed unit 34 is operated to blow a stream of air 21 between the leading edge 6 of the sheet and the periphery of the drum.
The resilient character of the latter allows the system to be used for sheets of different thickness.
Since the rear portion of the sheet is pressed against the periphery of the drum 4, the sheet is advanced onto the collecting table 7 and any pressed board components previously disposed thereon. It is assumed that the synthetic-resin impregnated side of the sheet 1, is downward. In this manner, the system can operate as is conventional.
Assume, however, that it is desired to provide facing sheets on both faces of the pressed board. In this case, after depositing a sheet on the upper surface of the stack on table 7, the system is actuated to pick up the next sheet (t8) and carry the latter toward the deflector 13. Here, however, the leading edge 6 is not released and is entrained past the deflector 13 whereupon it is held against the periphery of the drum by the reverse pressing unit 12. Once the trailing edge 15 has passed the deflector 13 (t10) the suction at pickup 5 can be interrupted at t11 and the drum reversed, thereby feeding the sheet along the lower surface of the deflector 13 with a jet 21 being directed between the sheet and the drum periphery (see FIG. 7). The sheet can thereby be deposited upon the table 7. A pressed board mat can than be placed on the sheet and the process repeated to deposit an upper sheet on the stack.
As is apparent from FIGS. 4 and 7, one side of the sheet can have the synthetic-resin coating while the other side of the sheet is of the facing material, the synthetic-resin coating being aplied to the core of the stack in each case so that the laminate can be pressed to a unitary board.
With the operation just described, the alternate sheets as applied to the stack are reversed with the upper surface facing first downwardly and then upwardly.
Naturally, the system just described can be used for the production of synthetic-resin laminates as well as in the production of pressed board.

Is the person in the next cubicle your competition or your colleague?
We've all heard the stories - workplaces so cutthroat that people wouldn't even give their colleague the time of day. Places that make the "Game of Thrones" seem like child's play.
And you have probably been watching the Olympics recently. Where years of hard work can all go for naught in a millisecond. Where losing by a nose is broadcast for hundreds of millions to see. Where your "teammates" can be your main competition.
This started me thinking about my workplace environment and creating a positive work atmosphere; especially for sales and other specialties where your production determines your pay. So here are a few things I've learned (and implemented) over the years to balance collaboration and competition in a sales culture.
In a business environment that can usually be cutthroat, stressful, and manipulative, you can foster team support as well as individual success. Just ask Gabby Douglas and the gold-medal-winning U.S. women's gymnastics team. Or, better yet, ask Jordyn Wieber.

Natural flea stuff for cats....
Well, we're being invaded by the nasty bugs and need help.....I had tried the stuff from Walmart but I don't think it's done any good....At one time, I had seen a mixture of oils that you could wipe on their fur that would rid them of fleas but can't remember what it was......If necessary, I will get Advantage but if I could find something less expensive, it sure would help......
When it comes to flea & tick meds I never use anything other than what my vet recommends, I'm afraid of using anything off the store shelf, thats just me. I'm sure others will have better advice for you. The forum is a little slow on the weekends so hang in there.
One summer I watched as my neighbor tried one "natural" non-toxic cure after another...all ineffective, and her dog suffered all summer with fleas. she spent as much in oils, Brewer's yeast, diatomaceous earth as she would have for something from her vet that actually worked.
Go to your vet and get the real deal. Yes,the pharmaceutical company makes money. So do the salesmen pitching natural cures that do nothing.
I'll just add here (as someone who practices natural medicine and avoids toxicity whenever possible) that you can use Frontline and that sort of thing on an "as needed" basis, even though they'll try their darnedest o sell it to you as a monthly thing you have to do.
Dont know where you are, but here it's really only 1 or 2 months this time of year when it can really get bad (and then some years arent as bad as others) so thats when I might use it on my cats. Another part of that strategy is frequent thorough vacuuming throughout the year, bordering on OCD - esp iafter you dose the cats, its important to get the nasty buggers and their eggs entirely out of your house. GOOD LUCK!!!
To add to Kasha's post:
After you vacuum, seal the bag in plastic and throw it out, or store it in the freezer for your next use. Fleas are remarkable in that the pupae (last stage before the adult flea emerges) can sit dormant for a couple years waiting tor the right temperature and humidity to emerge. Eggs can hatch in a couple days or a few weeks. Vacuuming doesn't kill them, though, so it's important not to just leave that bag on your vacuum.
Once your house is flea-free, if you keep your cat indoors, you may never have to deal with them again.
This post was edited by evaf555 on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 9:52
A trick I used for the vacuum when we had a bout of fleas a few years back... I cut a cheap flea collar into 2 inch strips & inserted that into my vacuum bag or canister. That will kill hatching eggs.
I also bought a flea powder that we used on the carpet - not a pesticide but maybe it was Boric acid that desiccates hatching fleas.
Good luck!

|B.O.B. KNIFE (Tumble Finish)
Due to very high demand, this model is on extended backorder, please allow 6-8 weeks for processing.
FIELDCRAFT by BROTHERS OF BUSHCRAFT (Tumble Finish)
TOPS is proud to provide the Tumble Finish Brothers of Bushcraft. Many of our friends have asked for a version of the B.O.B. without a powder coat. The wait is over. The tumble finish on this knife will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an already wonderfully useful knife. If you are not a fan of powder coating because it gets in the way when batoning or working with wood and other materials, you will love this new option.
The Fieldcraft Knife was designed by The Brothers of Bushcraft, a coalition of men across North America focused on sharing wilderness living skills of all categories. From tracking, to building shelters, the Brothers of Bushcraft make it a point to show the skills to all people, of all ages, from all over.
The Fieldcraft Knife is the culmination of their knowledge, combining experiences from the broad and humid rain forests, to the arid and scorpion-littered deserts, to the frigid northern lands that span the Americas.
The cutting edge is a modified Scandinavian Grind, which is very effective for carving, skinning, and other general wood work. The hardness and edge geometry work beautifully together to make a long lasting edge. The handle is one of the most ergonomic on the market, sporting several useful additions. Although knives with a lot of frills often end up lacking, the additional items found on the Fieldcraft Knife were selected from experience and critiqued in every step of design, development and production. Being made of canvas micarta, the handle will never let you down. The bow drill divot on the handle is frictionless and makes starting those primitive fires almost effortless. The "Thumb Scallops", formed on the hilt of the handle offer more comfort and control when using specialized carving and skinning grips. The pommel of the blade is simply the tang of the knife exposed enough to allow impact from a baton to not affect the handle (though the micarta is definitely tough enough to take such abuse). On the exposed pommel, you will find a scraper specially designed by one of The Brothers of Bushcraft, for striking Ferro rods in a safe and efficient manner.
The sheath is a strong, durable Kydex, with a rotating steel belt clip. This arrangement allows a safe, secure and comfortable carry on the belt, pack strap, or even around the neck. With a built in Ferro-rod attachment point, the sheath now doubles as a minimalist survival kit.
The Fieldcraft Knife has had heavy duty abuse, and testing done in the wilderness of Canada, where local survival experts Mors Kochanski, Dr. Gino Ferri, and many others have deemed her a "Serviceable Field Knife". These words are exactly what she is meant to be.
From carving netting needles and trap triggers, to chopping through branches, the TOPS Knives/Brothers of Bushcraft Fielcraft Knife will do just about any chore that you can throw at her to survive and thrive out there in the wilderness.
Überfire (exclusively through TOPS KNIVES)
Created by Dale Fruit – For Operators in extreme conditions.
Überfire was originally designed to assist downed pilots in creating a potentially life-saving fire in inhospitable environments. A survivor with a broken leg, pelvis, or arm will not be able to forage for dry tinder or use many other traditional fire-starting methods. Clearly, a downed pilot who has survived a crash, would very likely suffer such an injury. In a wet environment, lighters or matches may not be enough to get a fire going. That is why Dale created Überfire. It is completely hydrophobic, which means it will not absorb water, so even if it gets wet, the user just needs to discard any standing water in the tin and then light it up. It is an excellent source of steady, intense heat that provides the user a means of drying out small tinder within his immediate proximity.
The combustive materials in Überfire are specially formulated to assist in starting fires with whatever tinder is available, even wet tinder, and the more you fan Überfire, the hotter it gets. Überfire honors the three T's of combustion, which are time, turbulence, and temperature.
Überfire is made with all-natural, completely hydrophobic ingredients. The 2 oz. can will burn for approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the conditions. There is a cotton pad saturated with petroleum jelly included in the tin as well. Überfire is designed to start from one spark. It will not evaporate even after partial use and can be lit multiple times. Although no synthetic materials were used in its creation, it's not meant to be ingested or inhaled.

The SCANDI WOODSMAN was first introduced at the 2014 Blade Show held in Atlanta. Many of the people that stopped by our booth were impressed by the elegant, yet functional design. The inspiration for this knife came from its sister, the LIONESS. We received a lot of comments letting us know that you wanted something similar to the Lioness that didn't have the Tactical Pink coating, so here it is.
The handle was specifically designed so it would fit well in smaller hands, but we've seen that it fits perfectly in larger hands, too, so most people can pick it up and use it comfortably. The shape of the blade has a lot of belly, which makes it a very handy skinner. The SCANDI WOODSMAN will also prove to be extremely useful for a variety of bushcraft or camping tasks. The finger guard is very aggressive, decreasing the risk of losing the grip and accidentally cutting fingers, which makes it great for beginners. But knife veterans will also see the benefits you can get with this knife.

TOPS Multi-Fuel Folding Stove
A sturdy stove for those who are prepared for anything.
The TOPS Multi-Fuel Stove comes with five main pieces to assemble: two sides, the front, the back, and the fuel plate. The fuel plate can be inserted near the bottom of the stove to load small pieces of wood, in the center for Alcohol or Sterno, or the top for fuel tablets. Top it off with 3 included skewers that can also be placed on multiple levels, and you have a multitude of options with this stove.
The opening at the top is approximately 3 and 7/8" by 3 and 7/8". There are ventilation holes throughout to keep your fire healthy, and there are also slots in the back and front to add more fuel without having to take your pot or the skewers off the top.
The stove comes with a nylon pouch and one cedar/paraffin disc for fuel. The disc will burn for approximately 20 minutes. Whether you're cooking food in a can, brewing tea or coffee, using small pots or pans, or even a burger for 1, this is a lightweight, easily carried item to help you get it done.
With a weight of only 1 pound 3.2 ounces (Including the nylon pouch) it's the perfect addition to almost any bug-out-bag, emergency car kit, hiker bag, camp pack, etc. Set up and collapse is a breeze.
In any situation, it pays to be prepared.

Frog Market Special
We have been working on this knife for a few months now and wanted to make sure that it was just right before deciding to make it available to everyone. A thickness of only 1/16th of an inch (1.5875 mm) makes this knife the thinnest knife we have offered so far. The blade is 5 and a quarter inches (13.335 cm) long and it has an overall length of 9 and a half inches (24.13 cm). It weighs just 3.5 ounces (99.2233 gr) yet it is still a strong knife.
The FROG MARKET SPECIAL is made of 1095 High Carbon Steel, and has Tan Canvas Micarta scales. It has our new Black River Wash finish that is quickly becoming one of the most popular finishes that we have ever offered. The wide heel allows for deep, shearing cuts. The steep curve up to the edge slices well. As you use the knife, you'll notice it has an ergonomic handle that is very comfortable. The thinner steel allows for clean, smooth cuts and gives the blade some added flexibility over thicker knives. The tip is also ideal for boning meats like chicken and pork. Although the Frog Market Special is great in the kitchen, you'll find a myriad of uses for it while camping, fishing, and hunting as well.
Steven Dick, who is an editor with Tactical Knives, refined this design based on what he saw on a trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. He saw butchers and fish mongers using knives with a pattern that he'd never seen before. They were able to prepare meats and fish of many varieties easily using their unique blades. But rest assured, although the inspiration for the Frog Market Special comes from the markets in Vietnam, the KNIVES are still manufactured and hand-finished right here in the Rocky Mountains USA.

About Sxsxx
Sxsxx Sxsxx The worst of it is actually during the fight sequences, which can tend to lag with needless dialogue and very little action for several episodes, although this problem is starting to go away as of about the 80th episode. Sxsxxl Their counterparts are not also Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas respectively. If you disagree then look at Orichimaru`s snakes they were the most cheesy things i ever looked at. Those Although not encouraged to do not so, main character Claude may not utilize the services of prostitutes, and then subsequently murder and rob them. Sxsxxl I don`t know if its gotten better but when there are episodes that have flashbacks from the previous episode that are not important and when one fight is spaced out for five episodes of flashbacks and worthless dialogs it just drives me crazy. Sxsxx I logged out and signed in again and the mail solution gave me the same message. But the movie is far better than Dragonball Evolution. I think the show is also excellent and deserves a lot of credit.
Sxsxx It also featured a variety of new weapons and vehicles. i don`t know who has made the sigma six but its awful what happened to the other characters what happened to general hawk ltd. Like having Ang Lee directing the Hulk. Like in the previous series Dragonball, Dragon Ball Z has many naming conventions/jokes.

The Master's Degree Programme in International Business is a two-year, full-time programme focusing on the identification and management of challenges arising from planning, controlling and coordinating business activities on an international scale. Based both on the required competence of international managers today as well as core areas of research within the University of Vaasa, the teaching on the programme centres around current theory and practice in three key aspects of international business - international strategic management, international marketing management, and international human resource management. The international EPAS accreditation is a mark of the quality of the business teaching in the University of Vaasa.
Besides these three key areas, the MIB programme offers students a range of country-focused studies which prepare students to do business in key emerging markets. Teaching on the programme is supported by high-quality, and internationally recognised research groups that have been rewarded several times for their contributions to the international academic community.
The programme is looking for students who have a good academic record from their previous studies in a relevant subject (business studies/economics), have a genuine interest in international aspects of business and management, have worked or intend to work in an international organisation, and who are committed to studying an intensive two-year programme which leads to a Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration degree. The intake of the Master's Degree Programme in International Business is 25 students, and the application period is January - February annually.
There are no entrance examinations for international Master's programmes at the University of Vaasa. Admission decisions are made on the basis of the required documents, evaluating each complete application individually and selecting those with the best qualifications. Master's degree students have no tuition fees. They are only required to pay the Student Union membership fee of approximately 128 euro per academic year.
MIB focuses on the identification and management of challenges arising from planning, controlling and coordinating business operations on an international scale.

University of Vaasa does not apply a strict time limit to how recently the necessary verification for English language skills has been acquired.

I use these tires front and rear on my 2012 KTM 350 EXC-F. I use it for about 50% rough trail riding, and 50% street riding. These tires work GREAT! They have a ton of traction off road, much better than a full knobby, unless I'm in really deep mud or sand. They hook up amazing on hard-pack, rocks, and normal dirt. They last about 2 1/2 times as long as knobby tires. They work great on the street; great cornering and braking. The street bikers that I ride with sometimes are amazed at how fast I can go with these tires. I can corner as fast as any sport bike on twisty canyon roads. These tires have a ton of grip, but you have to ride them differently than knobby's. With these tires you don't want to spin them to raise the revs. I use the clutch for that, and try to keep these hooked up all the time when I ride. If you like to blast around and spin your rear tire - these are not for you. If you like to HAUL, and want to stay attached to the ground, these work great.Read All Reviews

I ride at a very rugged remote OHV called Divide Peak. It's all rocks, sand, and sharp thorny bushes. Very desert like, extremely rough, and very hard on tires. I get flat tires quite frequently. I use this product with the Tubliss system. It works fantastic and keeps me from getting stranded out in the wilderness. The slime works automatically fixing all the small punctures that I get. I usually don't even know that I get them; the slime just does it's thing and seals the tire. If I get a puncture that is too large for the slime to seal, I carry tire plugs and CO2 cartridges. Between the two, I feel confident that I wont get stranded out in the boonies. Gives me great piece of mindRead All Reviews

I use these both front and rear on my KTM. I ride out at Divide Peak OHV, and I can be up to 15 miles from help if I break down. I usually ride by myself, so if I break down, it could be really bad. I've used these for about 18 months and they have saved my bacon. I've ridden home numerous times on a completely flat front tire (30 miles dirt and street) and made it home safely. Now I've learned how to plug my tires, and haven't had any non-repairable flat tires yet. It gives me piece of mind knowing that I can repair (plug) my tires on the trail (without removing the wheel) and get home if I get a flat. I carry tire plugs and CO2 cartridges with me when I ride. I highly recommend these for riders who need to be able to repair flat tires out on the trail.Read All Reviews

Debuting at around $300, the EX-ZR100 is Casio's latest flagship high-speed camera, capable of 1000FPS video recording (albeit heavily letterboxed), and up to 40 FPS still image shooting. The camera also sports a 12.5x optical zoom ratio, as well as a back-illuminated 12.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor and 1080/30p video recording. We found the camera heavily processed many of its images in its default setting, but the end result was still often fairly accurate images, with little to no noise across the 100-3200 ISO range. We found the images were a tad oversharpened in-camera, and Casio could seriously do with a menu re-design, but the ZR100 strikes us as a worthy leader for Casio's 2011 high-speed lineup.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Until the scientist learns to give thanks, he will never get to the answer of contingent existence.
To confront the reality of our contingent existence means--if we are to use our highest form of thought--that we give thanks, that we be grateful. And this, ultimately, yields to faith, what G. K. Chesterton called "faith in receptiveness," a faith in receptiveness which gives rise to a receptiveness to faith.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/29/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Living Faith
Keywords: atheism, Benedict XVI, Oddifreddi, science, faith, empiricism, Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - "I would maintain," wrote G. K. Chesterton in his A Short History of England, "that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
When each of us confronts the raw fact "I exist," "I am," we also know that we need not have existed. We know, in fact, that there was a time that we did not exist, a time that we were not. And we can infer with absolute certainty from those who die about us and from our understanding of nature and time, that there will be a time where we will not exist, at least not in the way we do now.
"I am. I live. Some time before, I was not; I was not alive. There will be a time in the future where I will not be as I am now; I will die." These are unshakeable truths about our existence.
Those who deny them, we classify as insane. For example, we classify those people who say they are Napoleon insane because we know that Napoleon has come and gone. We treat similarly those people who insist that they are God and will never suffer death as insane.
Normal people know they are contingent beings who strut and fret their hour upon a stage and then are heard no more.
So it is a raw, incontestable fact that we are contingent beings.
Since we are contingent beings, we have not given being to ourselves. Our being is received. It is a gift. It is undeserved, not merited. Nothing we did can explain, can be the cause of, our having received existence. This is an undeniable reality it seems to me.
Anyone who believes that he has gifted himself with his own being, that he is a self-caused being, that he is causa sui, is irrational. And if he really believes that and not just be contrarian or stubborn for the sake of it, he is certainly insane.
Now, if we have any sort of wonder in us, we are bound to ask the question in light of the plain fact that we are contingent beings, "What (or Who) is the cause of my being?"
It takes a certain mindset to answer that question. It takes an open mind not wed to prejudice. As G. K. Chesterton famously wrote: "Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid."
Actually, having an open mind is something, in fact it is a very important thing if it is used to shut it again on an answer of our contingency.
Unfortunately, some of the most closed-minded of our fellows are scientists, particularly those who take the position that science and God are incompatible because God cannot be proved by science.
They operate under the limiting presumptions of what the historian of modern secularism Charles Taylor has called an "immanent frame," a frame of reference which excludes anything outside of the immanent (the material, the contingent) and excludes--for no reason at all, that is by human faith alone--the transcendent (the spiritual, the non-contingent).
Those with this kind of a scientific mindset put themselves in what Max Weber called an "iron cage," a mental prison which excludes anything of spirit, anything that cannot be verified by experimental science (empiricism).
These dreamless men labor under what the poet William Blake called the "single vision" of "Newton's sleep."
They have exchanged what Fr. Thomas J. Norris describes as "hard reason," and have adopted in its stead "weak reason."
Whatever image you use--an iron cage, sleep, weakness, a frame--the real problem with the scientific mindset, at least in so far as it seeks to answer the question of contingent existence, is the lack of thanks.
Scientific reasoning, whatever its merits (and it has merits to be sure), is, at the same time, not the highest form of thought. It is not the highest form of thought because, if G. K. Chesterton the Apostle of Common Sense is to be believed, scientific thought does not give thanks.
How can you thank the Big Bang?
Who is to be praised for putting together the Primordial Soup?
To Whom do you pay sacrifice for Evolution?
How can you worship Natural Selection?
To be sure, the scientist may go back and explain our contingent existence by other contingent existences, and he may even try do so through a lengthy chain of, say 7 billion years or more. But such exercises smell of what Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in his recent letter to the atheist mathematician Pierregiorgio Odifreddi called "fantascienza," science fiction, fantastical science or scientific fantasy.
The better of these theories, Benedict XVI agreed, approach or struggle to approach the transcendent, in which case one might call them "visions and ancticipations," struggles to reach knowledge. But they are, ultimately, unable to approach the whole of reality. There is a lot of this wishful thinking, he suggests, in a materialistic of evolution as even coming close to explaining contingent being.
But most of these efforts are just plain fantasy written using scientific concepts and scientific words. There are many mountebanks selling quack science. Benedict XVI points to Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene as a classic example of sheer fantascienza.
But even the better of the theories never answer the question of contingent existence because of their limited methodology, which excludes-arbitrarily, without reason-a transcendent cause.
For this reason, these fantascienze never get to the root of the problem. They do not answer the question. They beg the question.
As Benedict XVI explained, relying on contingent "Nature" to explain Nature--which all scientific-empirical theories of reality try to do--in an effort to avoid the God question is intellectually disingenuous.
To make "Nature" God so as to avoid the question of God is to latch on to an irrational divinity that "non spiega nulla," does not explain a thing. It does not explain a thing and it is irrational because it relies on contingent being to explain contingent being which, of course, does not explain contingent being.
Until the scientist learns to give thanks, he will never get to the answer of contingent existence.
To confront the reality of our contingent existence means-if we are to use our highest form of thought-that we give thanks, that we be grateful. And this, ultimately, yields to faith, what G. K. Chesterton called "faith in receptiveness," a faith in receptiveness which gives rise to a receptiveness to faith.
One might also note in closing that not only is giving thanks the highest form of thought, and so an absolute essential for speculative or theoretical thought. Giving thanks is also the highest form of action.
Giving thanks is therefore an absolute essential thing for practical thought which leads to action. And the central act of giving thanks, at least when it comes to acknowledgement of our contingent being, is the sacrifice of prayer.
Here, faith also provides an answer. It is called the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Eucharist-the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass-we should always remember, is nothing other than a giving of thanks. Eucharist, of course, comes from the Greek word εὐχαριστία (eucharistia), which means "thanksgiving."
Ultimately, thanksgiving is not only the proper posture for explaining and responding to the reality of our contingent being. Evidently, it is something intrinsic to God. Jesus, after all, gave thanks the Scriptures reveal and so we remind ourselves in every Mass.
When the Lord gave thanks, not only was he setting an example for us. We ought also recall that, when Jesus gave thanks, it was God giving thanks to God.

Narraway to captain Gloucester
ESPNscrum Staff
August 23, 2011
Narraway was in impressive form throughout the 2011-12 season © Getty Images
Gloucester's Luke Narraway has been given the skipper's armband ahead of the 2011-12 Aviva Premiership season.
The No.8 stood in last season when Mike Tindall was absent on international duty and also lifted the LV= Cup when Gloucester defeated Newcastle at Franklin's Gardens. Narraway was due to lead England in the 2011 Churchill Cup but was forced to sit out the competition to undergo treatment on a back injury.
Narraway, 27, said: "To be given the role is a huge honour. I've been at the club for many years now, and in that time I have played under a number of great leaders. And in the history of the club there have been a huge number of illustrious captains. So to join those ranks is an absolute privilege.
"Very few men are handed the privilege of being club captain at a club like Gloucester, and I will give it everything I have to make sure I don't let anyone down."
Gloucester will begin their Premiership campaign on Sunday September 4 with the unenviable task of travelling to Heineken Cup runners-up Northampton Saints.

Matterhorn Bobsleds had it's rock formation ceiling off (on the fantasyland side for that matter). Now I'm not sure if there ever even was a ceiling but there were work lights on on the upper level that are either blocked or off. You could see support structures for the mountain, and the two metal bars that hold two not-as-glowing red dots. I was personally looking for a basketball court (aka my reason for a second time around).
Anyone seen this before? This was Friday, April 4th at night.

The quality of the boot is fantastic ... Beautiful leather, excellent sole, make and attention to detail is fantastic. The boot is solid while also very comfortable. I'd say the boot runs about a half to full size large so would recommend going down half a size with a thick hiking sock assuming you will wear in cold weather. It's an expensive boot but you won't regret it.
Just got these and walked a couple miles in them. No blisters, but clearly, full break in is going to be a bit of a process. Pretty sure I'm going to love them. If you are looking for a light boot, a low maintenance boot, a boot requiring little to no break in, or a gore tex boot then move along, these aren't for you. However if you appreciate high quality full grain leather on the outside and supple leather on the inside, the breathability of no gore tex, if you want a boot that can be resoled and isn't held together with glue and you don't mind the weight penalty then this just might be the boot for you. The boot is fully lined with soft calf skin which feels great but they recommend regularly cleaning with a damp warm cloth both inside and out and reconditioning with their proofing cream to clean off grime outside and the salts from perspiration on the inside. Hmmmm. Might have to enlist the aid of someone with much smaller hands than mine to do a good job on the inside.
I will have to say this is the best boot I have ever put on my foot. The material and workman ship is out standing. The boots feel so good when you put them on your feet, you don't want to take them off. They seem to run large to me. I wear a 10 in merrells, but a 10 in these were to large. I don't think MJ has a 9.5. Dam, may have to get the Tofane instead.
I've never had a "really really good pair" of boots, but these are killer! The quality is incredible, and you can really see the craftsmanship and time put into these. I can't wait to use them. I ended up going a 1/2 size down from my regular shoe (typically 9.5, but am going with a 9 in these), as they seem to run a little big, at least for me. Actually, the Euro size was more appropriate (I measured a 43 Euro, which according to the Zamberlan website, is comparable to a size 9). Can't wait to wear these and break them in.

The teams that do "door buster shopping" in free agency nearly always pay too damned much. Unless there's someone we just HAVE to HAVE in free agency it's better to wait until that first wave of panic buyers subsides and then get who's left at a much more reasonable price.
Remember by not panic buying, we got J-Jo and D. Manning for what Asomugha would have cost us.

Your skin is oily, your story's old
So tell it while your walking

Yeah, I all uproot you terrorist
I am the guide to the perplexed
Man take this tip, I'm gonna win
I'll put it all on hydrogen

To people we should untangle
It's all at a fatal cost
To keep us over barrels
We are flying

Ah, shoot new cities into space
