Recent Ecuador reviews
"My wife and I and our boys, 12 and 10, recently stayed at 4 Volcanoes for 4 nights before traveling to the Galapagoes. Thomas personally picked us up in Quito and brought us to the villa. While there he arranged drivers for our day trips and also for our return tip to the Quito airport. Thomas and his wife and boys were the perfect family hosts and our kids totally loved meeting some new friends to play with on the beautiful grounds of this magnificant property. As wonderful as the photos depict this place, they still cannot totally capture the wonder of the view to the lake and the surrounding mountains. We built nice fires in the cool evenings and one night Thomas arranged for a local Ecuadorian expert to provide us massages by the fire. The house is simply stunning- inside and out! We cannot wait to return. Thanks Thomas and Cristina and the boys!"Guest: Jeff Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 25, 2015View listing
"La Casa de Curia is the absolute perfect homebase for exploring a bit of Ecuador's Ruta del Spondylus. The house is very comfortable and was ideal for our group of 5 (although it could easily accommodate more). It's location high on a hill allows you to take advantage of the refreshing ocean breezes, while being close enough to the beach to hear the crashing waves. And with access to a private and nearly deserted beach just a short walk down the hill, you might not want to leave the property at all. Once you do get motivated to leave, there is much to do and see within a short drive. Montañita's party scene - if that's your thing - is an easy (and cheap) cab ride away. Personally, we preferred the more peaceful vibe on the beach in Olón, where a row of beachfront restaurants serve up delicious fresh seafood and cold beers at unbelievably affordable prices. Don't miss the ceviche de ostra sold from the little cart - it seriously doesn't get any fresher. One of the highlights of the trip was watching local fisherman pull up their catch on the beach while the enormous frigates and pelicans swooped and dove to get their fill of fish. Amazing! But much more amazing than the house and it's incredible location are the people you will meet at Casa de Curia. Don Julio was incredibly helpful to us and I am so glad to have met him. He truly went above and beyond for us, especially when my daughter had a little surfing accident and split her lip. I was so worried that she might need stitches, but Don Julio knew just who to call (it seems he knows everyone and everyone knows him) and she got treatment within half an hour. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness. I would simply add that you can book this house with confidence, knowing that you will be in excellent hands during your stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bernardo and Don Julio."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 5, 2015View listing

Advanced stats project Premier League battle for Top 4 and survival spots to go down to final weekend
Feb 13, 2014, 6:52 PM EDT
The races for the Premier League title, Champions League spots and top flight survival will come down to the season's very last weekend.
At least according to a computer.
Bloomberg Sports is a web site that deals in projected tables. It details the odds that a team finishes in a particular spot, not unlike the similar Sportsclubstats.com site, but also uses unique algorithms based on past performance, transfer activity and other knowledge to predict where a team will finish.
So, you ask, who's in the best shape to hold the honors? Well, it'd be classless not to tell you to explore the site itself, but some nuggets from the projected "final table":
— Chelsea is expected to edge out Manchester City by a point to win the PL title. It's even tighter, less than a point of probability, but in reality they obviously don't deal out half-points in soccer.
— Arsenal drops to third, joining Liverpool to round out the Top Four.
— Cardiff City and Fulham remain in the bottom two, but it's Norwich that fares the worst in projections, dropping three spots in the table from where they stand now to join the Bluebirds and Cottagers in a trip down to the Championship. Crystal Palace and Sunderland will not be safe entering the final weekend.
In Europe, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid are unsurprising favorites to win the Champions League. La Liga sees Barcelona needing the final weekend to pip Real Madrid while Atletico says goodbye to the Top Two in the penultimate week. Bayern, PSG and Juventus hold up the rest of the way as league winners as well.
What's it all mean? Nothing, really. There are educated guesses, and then there are human elements like Kolo Toure's own goal. It didn't cost Liverpool points, but it sure can't be predicted (regardless of what his critics say).

Dibble-Tuttle Cemetery
Herkimer County
New York USA
Dibble-Tuttle Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
This is the Dibble-Tuttle Cemetery in Salisbury, Herkimer County, New York.
Note: There are Dibell people buried here too and maybe all the people should be Dibell, rather than Dibble.
"This cemetery is located on Herkimer County Highway #130, on the Emmonsburg Road in the Town of Salisbury. It is located approximately 6/10th of a mile from the hamlet of Salisbury Center. NY. The Salisbury Center Grange #624 has made this project a part of their Community Service Project for the year 2000. Mr. Kenneth Mowers and Mr. Richard Jorrey, who are former residents of the Emmonsburg Road, undertook this project to review all the records and markers of the Dibble Cemetery and compile an updated census of burials during the time from 1800 - 2000, a period of 200 years. The land where this cemetery was dedicated was at one time a part of the Tuttle farm. One observation we noted was that there were many Dibell's listed on tombstones in this cemetery, but none with the spelling of Dibble. We assume that from the early 1800's to 1915 the spelling of the name was changed from Dibell to Dibble. We found that in the Corporation papers, that the word cemetery was spelled cemetery. According to the authority, Mr. Webster, the correct spelling is cemetery and we have changed it accordingly in our report."
The above note came from the Cemetery Association's note, but I discovered that Nathaniel Dibble's name was spelled Dibble on the 1810, 1820 and 1840 Census records, so we need to check each stone to be sure of the spelling, even though others are reported to have also done that.
Note: Nathaniel's stone reads Nathaniel Dibell....

Originally written on Giants Football Blog | Last updated 11/9/11
Devin Thomas has told the NY Daily News that he is no longer the Giants' kickoff returner. He will likely be replaced by running backs Da'Rel Scott and D.J. Ware. Thomas has shown promise as a return man, and has excelled on special teams in the past, but has failed to break off a long return recently, and has muffed a couple kickoffs to boot. "I can be a stud back there," Thomas said. "But I'm a dud if I'm out there muffing returns." Though the 24-year old has physical talent (he is a former 2nd round pick), he is at the bottom of the depth chart among wide receivers, and is in trouble of being inactive or even losing his roster spot if he does not regain his kickoff duties.

A push-pull slipsheet handler mountable on a standard hook-type lift truck carriage compatibly with load-handling forks mounted on the carriage. The slipsheet handler comprises a push-pull assembly and split platen, both of which receive their vertical support from the load-supporting surfaces of the forks. Attachment of the push-pull assembly to the lower hook-type bar of the carriage provides resistance against fore-and-aft movement of the slipsheet handler. To convert the truck rapidly to a fork-type truck capable of handling standard rigid pallets rather than slipsheets, the platen may be quickly removed leaving the push-pull assembly in place or, alternatively, the push-pull assembly and platen may be removed as an integral unit.
1. A push-pull slipsheet handler adapted for rapid mounting and demounting with respect to a pair of transversely-spaced load-lifting forks having upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces thereon, said forks being mounted on a vertically-movable lift truck carriage, said push-pull slipsheet handler comprising:
(a) a push-pull assembly including a frame, a push plate, power means for selectively extending and retracting said push plate with respect to said frame and selectively openable and closable jaw means on said push plate for gripping a slipsheet;
(b) platen means overlying said forks and extending transversely therefrom for supporting a slipsheet thereon, said platen means having a downwardly-facing surface engaging said upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces of said forks so as to be vertically supported by said upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces, said forks being of a standard pallet-handling type having upstanding portions supported vertically by said carriage and having forwardly-protruding portions containing said upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces; and
(c) means for connecting said frame of said push-pull assembly to said platen means for mounting and demounting of said frame and platen means as a unit with respect to said forks and carriage, including elongate, forwardly-extending interconnecting means rigidly connected to said frame of said push-pull assembly independently of said platen means and to said downwardly-facing surface of said platen means for rigidly holding said platen means and said frame at a fixed angle relative to each other and thereby restraining said platen means against upward tilting relative to said load-supporting surfaces of said forks when upward force is exerted on the forward extremity of said platen means, said interconnecting means extending longitudinally forward alongside said forwardly-protruding portions of said forks beneath said platen means in forwardly overlapping relation to said platen means, said interconnecting means being free of any connection to said forwardly-protruding portions of said forks effective to enable said forwardly-protruding portions to resist said upward tilting of said platen means.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said frame includes a portion extending vertically above said platen means, said platen means having a transverse rear edge located forwardly of the bottom of said portion of said frame.
3. A push-pull slipsheet handler adapted for rapid mounting and demounting with respect to a pair of load-lifting forks having upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces thereon, said forks being mounted on a vertically-movable lift truck carriage, said push-pull slipsheet handler comprising:
(a) a push-pull assembly including a frame a push plate, power means for selectively extending and retracting said push plate with respect to said frame and selectively openable and closable jaw means on said push plate for gripping a slipsheet;
(b) platen means comprising a pair of elongate, transversely-spaced, forwardly-extending plates overlying said forks and extending transversely therefrom for supporting a slipsheet thereon, said plates having respective downwardly-facing surfaces engaging said upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces of said forks so as to be vertically supported by said upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces, said forks being of a standard pallet-handling type having upstanding portions supported vertically by said carriage and having forwardly-protruding portions containing said upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces;
(c) elongate, forwardly-extending interconnecting means rigidly connected to said frame of said push-pull assembly independently of said platen means and to said platen means for mounting and demounting of said frame and platen means as a unit with respect to said forks and carriage and for restraining said platen means against upward tilting relative to said load-supporting surfaces of said forks when upward force is exerted on the forward extremity of said platen means; and
(d) a member joining said pair of plates rigidly together, said member spanning the transverse space between said plates and having a pair of forwardly-extending, elongate rigid portions extending longitudinally alongside said forwardly-protruding portions of said forks and rigidly attached to each other and to said downwardly-facing surfaces of said plates, said elongate rigid portions defining an elongate slot extending forwardly therebetween in a location corresponding to the transverse space between said pair of plates, said slot being open at its forward extremity, said forwardly-extending, elongate rigid portions being free of any connection to said forwardly-protruding portions of said forks effective to enable said forwardly-protruding portions to resist said upward tilting of said platen means.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said forwardly-extending, elongate rigid portions of said member extend downwardly from said downwardly-facing surfaces of said plates substantially to no greater an extent than said forks.
This application is a division of application Ser. No. 741,727, filed June 6, 1985, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,624,620, issued Nov. 25, 1986; which is a division of application Ser. No. 634,694, filed July 26, 1984, now abandoned; which is a division of application Ser. No. 493,141, filed May 9, 1983, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,482,286, issued Nov. 13, 1984.
This invention relates to improvements in pushpull slipsheet handlers for forklift trucks.
Load push and push-pull devices have long been used on materials handling lift trucks. Prior to the popularity of slipsheets for handling loads, some forklift trucks were equipped with load push assemblies similar to that shown in Anderson, Jr., U.S. Pat. No. 3,885,692 to push loads off of standard load-handling forks. Later, when the ues of thin, flexible slipsheets came into prominence, platens having a substantially greater load-supporting surface area than standard forks were used, such as those shown in Vander Wal U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,180,513 and 3,310,189, respectively.
Still later, combiantion push-pull and platen assemblies were developed, such as that shown in Frees U.S. Pat. No. 4,300,867, Brudi U.S. Pat. No. 3,640,414, or those currently manufactured by Cascade Corporation of Portland, Oreg. under the designations 30C and 34C. Many of these have a two-piece, or split, platen so that the platen can, at least theoretically, be inserted into the end of a standard rigid wooden pallet if it becomes necessary to handle rigid pallets as well as slipsheets. Some units, such as the aforementioned Cascade 30C and 45C devices, have transversely adjustable split platen sections capable of handling slipsheet-supported loads of different widths. Such transversely-adjustable platen sections can be either manually adjusted or hydraulically adjusted.
Other types of units have been developed featuring platens mounted on the standard forks of a truck, but for different purposes such as the swivel-type platen shown in Brennaman U.S. Pat. No. 2,957,594.
A drawback of devices such as that shown in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,885,692, wherein a push plate is used in connection with standard, relatively narrow, pallet-handling forks, is that the forks have insufficient surface area to support loads with underlying slipsheets. Conversely, early fork-mounted platens having sufficient surface area for slipsheet handling, such as those shown in U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,180,513 and 3,310,189, are likewise unsatisfactory because they have no slipsheet pulling capability and are therefore limited to engaging a slipsheet-supported load only by knifing their platens beneath the slipsheet.
Alternatively, more modern slipsheet-handling devices such as those shown in U.S. Pats. Nos. 4,300,867 and 3,640,414, or the aforementioned CASCADE 30C and 45C push-pull devices, although quite adequate for slipsheet handling, and although employing split platens and even transversely-adjustable split platens, are most difficult to use for handling rigid pallets. This is because the platens, in order to provide the necessary supporting surface area, are so wide that a lift truck driver cannot use them to engage a rigid pallet unless he approaches the end of the pallet virtually parallel to its longitudinal dimension. Any substantial angularity in the approach makes it impossible to insert the wide platens fully into the spaces provided in the pallet. Moreover, such platens cannot engage a standard rigid pallet along one of its longer sides as standard forks can. Standard rigid wooden pallets are 40 inches by 48 inches in size and are designed to be engaged on either their ends or longitudinal sides by trucks having standard load-handling forks.
The above-described difficulties of a truck with standard forks attempting to handle slipsheets and, conversely, the difficulties of a slipsheet handler attempting to handle standard rigid pallets, have led to severe equipment problems in the materials handling industry. Many shippers or goods prefer to use slipsheets rather than rigid pallets, primarily because slipsheets are expendable and do not have to be returned. On the other hand, most warehouse establishments which receive such shipments prefer to use rigid pallets to facilitate stacking and handling of loads. Accordingly such warehouses must have at least two different types of lift trucks on hand to handle loads received from shippers: push-pull slipsheet-handling trucks to remove slipsheet-supported loads from highway trucks and transfer them to rigid pallets; and lift trucks equipped with standard load-handling forks to handle and stack the loads once they have been transferred to the rigid pallets.
This places an unduly high requirement, with respect to capital expenditures for materials handling equipment, on warehousemen and other receivers of goods, since the size of their lift truck fleets is effectively twice what it might otherwise be. Unfortunately, the lift trucks cannot be converted quickly or easily from slipsheet-handling capability to pallet-handling capability, and vice versa. This is because conversion to pallet handling requires not only removal of a complete push-pull assembly from the lift truck carriage, but also installation of standard forks, with the reverse procedure being necessary for the opposite conversion. There is insufficient time in the hectic scheduling of a warehousing operation to make such conversions repeatedly. Even where the push-pull assemblies are mounted compatibly with forks, as for example in the aforementioned U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,885,692 and 4,300,867, the push-pull assemblies are so reliant for their vertical support upon the lift-truck carriage or frame (rather than upon the upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces of the forks) that they are substantially permanently mounted to the carriage or frame so as to be incapable of rapid attachment and detachment.
The present invention is directed to push-pull slipsheet-handling appparatus which permits extremely rapid conversion of a lift truck between slipsheet-handling capability and pallet-handling capability.
As an added significant advantage, the push-pull slipsheet handler of the present invention is actually less expensive to maufacture than previous push-pull slipsheet handlers which did not provide such rapid convertibility of the lift truck.
The foregoing combination of advantages is achieved by making the push-pull assembly mountable on a standard lift truck hook-type carriage compatibly with standard pallet-handling forks, i.e. such that both may be supported on the lift truck carriage concurrently. Moreover, the push-pull assembly and its associated platen is vertically supported by the upper load-supporting surfaces of the forks, rather than by the lift truck carriage or frame as is the conventional practice. This permits the carriage-mounting structure of the push-pull assembly to be less permanent and less substantial than is normally required, thereby facilitating attachment and detachment of the push-pull slipsheet handler while also reducing the weight and expense thereof.
In addition, the push-pull slipsheet handler of the present invention is designed so as to permit convertibility of the lift truck by different alternative processes, thereby giving the operator utmost flexibility. By one conversion process, merely the platen of the slipsheet handler need be detached or attached, as the case may be, without any manipulation whatsoever of the pushpull assembly. In an alternative conversion process, the entire push-pull assembly and platen may be removed and installed as an integral unit. The first alternative, i.e. merely platen manipulation, is obviously quicker. However the latter alternative increases the load-handling capacity of counterbalanced lift trucks since the removal of the push-pull assembly permits the center of gravity of the load to be positioned more rearwardly relative to the truck.
For further versatility, despite the fact that the platen acts as part of the vertical support system for the push-pull assembly, the platen is nonetheless not only removable independently of the push-pull assembly but is also laterally adjustable with respect thereto.
Accordingly it is a principal objective of the present invention to provide a push-pull slipsheet handler of a type which improves the rapidity and facility of converting a lift truck between slipsheet handling and pallet-handling capability.
It is a further objective of the present invention to provide such rapidity and facility of lift truck conversion while also reducing the manufacturing cost of the slipsheet handler, by making such handler both compatible with, and supportable by the load-supporting surfaces of, a standard pair of pallet-handling forks mounted on the lift truck.
The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of the push-pull slipsheet handler of the present invention shown mounted on a standard lift truck hook-type carriage together with a pair of load-handling forks, with a central portion of the nearest fork broken away to reveal the underlying structure of the slipsheet handler.
FIG. 2 is an extended top view of a portion of the slipsheet handler taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, extended sectional view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a rear view of a lower side portion of the slipsheet handler shown in relation to the lift truck carriage lower transverse mounting member, a load-handling fork and an exemplary wooden pallet (all shown in phantom), wherein the platen of the slipsheet handler has been inserted longitudinally into the end of the pallet.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the hydraulic circuit of the slipsheet handler.
With reference to FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of the push-pull slipsheet handler of the present invention, indicated generally as 10, is shown mounted on a vertically-movable lift truck carriage 12 on a mast 14 of a lift truck 16. The carriage 12 has a pair of transverse mounting members 18 and 20 thereon to which are mounted a pair of forwardly-extending, transversely-spaced load-lifting forks 22a and 22b respectively, each having upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces 24 thereon. Each fork 22a, 22b has an upstanding rear portion having a downwardly-opening hook such as 26 interlocked with an upwardly-protruding lip 18a on the upper transverse mounting member 18, together with an upwardly-opening hook 28 (FIGS. 2 and 4) interlocked with a downwardly-protruding lip 20a on the lower transverse mounting member 20. The upwardly and downwardly-protruding lips 18a and 20a of the respective transverse mounting members may extend either continuously or discontinuously across the respective mounting member.
The push-pull slipsheet handler 10 includes a push-pull assembly composed of a rear frame 30, a forwardly-extensible and retractable push plate 32 and a conventional scissors linkage 34 powered by a transversely-spaced pair of selectively-extensible and retractable double-acting hydraulic cylinders 36. The push plate has a selectively openable and closable transverse jaw along the lower edge thereof including a fixed jaw member 38 and a cooperating vertically-extensible and retractable jaw member 40 under the control of a pair of vertically-oriented hydraulic cylinders 108 (FIG. 5) conventionally mounted on the push plate 32. In operation, the push plate 32 is extended as shown in FIG. 1 adjacent to a load lying on a slipsheet such that the fixed jaw 38 lies beneath a protruding tab of the slipsheet, and the movable jaw 40 is then extended to grasp the slipsheet tab between the jaws 38 and 40. Thereafter, by retraction of the cylinders 36, the scissors linkage 34 retracts the push plate 32 thereby pulling the slipsheet and its load onto a platen composed of twin platen sections 42 and 44 (FIG. 2), respectively, to be described more fully hereafter. To deposit the load, the cylinders 36 are extended, thereby extending the scissors linkage 34 and push plate 32 to push the load off of the platen.
The platen sections 42 and 44 also form a portion of the push-pull slipsheet handler 10. As best seen in FIG. 2, they are of much greater surface area than that of the standard load-lifting forks 22a and 22b, respectively, to give adequate underlying support to the load since the slipsheet is made of a relatively thin, flexible material.
If it were desired that the lift truck 16 handle a load supported by a conventional rigid wooden pallet such as 46 as shown in phantom in FIG. 4, the large surface area of the platen sections 42 and 44 would be unnecessary because of the inherent rigidity of the pallet 46. In fact, although the platen sections 42 and 44 are narrow enough to be insertable into the end of a pallet 46 as shown in FIG. 4, their large size is a detriment for pallet handling purposes because the extreme width of the platen sections forces the lift truck operator to approach the end of the pallet substantially parallel to its longitudinal dimension, with little tolerance for any angular deviation in the approach. Accordingly, for handling rigid pallets such as 46, it is much more desirable from an operating point of view that the platen sections 42 and 44 be removed such that the relatively narrow load-lifting forks 22a and 22b can engage the pallet 46. The use of the forks 22a and 22b also enables the truck to engage a pallet such as 46 not only at its end but also, if desired, at one of its longitudinal sides through narrow fork pockets which are conventionally provided in such pallets, this latter maneuver being impossible with wide platen sections such as 42 and 44.
Moreover, when handling rigid pallets such as 46, the presence of the push-pull assembly may be a detriment even though the push plate 32 is completely retracted with respect to the rear frame 30. This is because the presence of the push plate and rear frame tends to limit the rearward extent to which a palletized load may be positioned on the forks, thereby limiting the extent to which the center of gravity of the load may be positioned in proximity to the front axle of the lift truck 16. This limitation in turn limits the load-carrying capacity of the truck 16 if it is of the counterbalanced type.
It is therefore highly desirable for the lift truck 16 to be rapidly convertible between slipsheet-handling capability and rigid pallet-handling capability. The slipsheet handler 10 of the present invention accomplishes this primarily by being mountable on the lift truck compatibly with the standard forks 22a and 22b so that the forks are always present and do not have to be mounted and demounted, and by vertically supporting both the push-pull assembly and the platen sections primarily on the upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces 24 of the forks 22a and 22b.
Turning now to the specific structure of the slipsheet handler 10, the rear frame 30 of the push-pull assembly has welded to its bottom edge a forwardly-protruding tongue 48 of substantial thickness and rigidity, but of less thickness than that of one of the forks 22a or 22b. With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the tongue has a pair of transversely-spaced rear interlocking members 50 and a pair of forward interlocking members 52 for detachably supportably connecting the tongue to each of the platen sections 42 and 44 respectively and suspending it therefrom. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the rear interlocking member 50 overlies the rear edge of the platen section 42, while the forward interlocking member 52 is inserted into a hanger 54 bolted to the underside of the platen section 42. A similar interlocking arrangement exists with respect to platen section 44. Thus, with the platen sections 42 and 44 overlying the forks 22a and 22b respectively and supported vertically by the upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces 24 of the forks, the tongue 48 and thus the rear frame 30 of the push-pull assembly are likewise vertically-supported by the upwardly-facing load-supporting surfaces 24 of the forks.
Since vertical support for the entire slipsheet handler 10 is thus provided by the forks, there is need for very little connecting structure between the slipsheet handler 10 and the lift truck carriage 12. The only connection to the carriage 12 which is really necessary is a connection between the bottom of the frame 30 of the push-pull assembly and the lower transverse mounting member 20 of the lift truck carriage 12 in order to restrain the frame 30 against forward movement while the scissors linkage 34 is being retracted to pull a load onto the platen. This restraint is provided by a pair of transversely-spaced upwardly-opening hooks 56 (only one of which is shown) pivotally mounted to the frame 30 for rotation about a respective pivot bolt 58. When pivoted upwardly, as shown in FIG. 3, the hooks 56 detachably matingly engage the downwardly-protruding lip 20a of the carriage lower transverse mounting member 20 to prevent forward movement of the frame 30 relative to the lift truck carriage 12. The hooks 56 are retained in their upwardly-pivoted positions by insertion of a spring-biased locking pin 60 into a matching aperture 62 of the hook 56. Detachment of the hooks 56 from the carriage 12 to permit removal of the slipsheet handler 10 as an integral unit from the forks 22a and 22b is accomplished by retracting the locking pin 60 by twisting a cammed retractor member 64 and permitting the respective hooks 56 to pivot downwardly about the pivot bolt 58 as shown in phantom in FIG. 3.
A second aperture 66 is also provided in the hook 56 for insertion of the locking pin 60 to lock the hook in its downwardly-pivoted position, such position extending below the bottom of each fork as seen in FIG. 3. This enables each hook 56, by contact with the floor, to support the slipsheet handler 10 at a sufficiently elevated position to provide clearance for withdrawal of the forks by backing the lift truck away from the slipsheet handler when it is desired to demount the slipsheet handler as an integral unit. The same clearance facilitates insertion of the forks for remounting.
Because the slipsheet handler 10 is easily and rapidly mountable and demountable with respect to the lift truck 16 as an integral unit including the push-pull assembly and platen sections, it would be acceptable, and within the scope of the present invention, for the platen sections 42 and 44 to be permanently connected to the frame 30 by means of the tongue 48. However, to add a degree of flexibility to the process by which the lift truck 16 may be converted from slipsheet-handling to pallet-handling capability, and vice versa, the platen sections 42 and 44 are preferably detachable with respect to the tongue 48 and frame 30 by means of a quick-disconnect interlocking structure.
As seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the forward interlocking member 52 of the tongue 48, and the mating hanger 54 on the underside of the platen 42, are interconnected by a quick-disconnect pin 68. When inserted as shown in FIG. 3, the pin 68 is prevented from withdrawal from aperture 70 of hanger 54 by a small locking stud 72 protruding therefrom. However the pin 68 may be withdrawn by lifting the bail 74 through an aperture 75 in the platen and rotating the pin 68 so that the stud 72 is aligned with a pair of slots 76 formed at the top of the aperture 70. The slots 76 provide clearance for the stud 72 such that the pin 68 may be withdrawn. Upon withdrawal of the pin 68, the respective platen section 42 may be detached from the tongue 48 by forward movement of the platen section until it clears the rear interlocking member 50 and front interlocking member 52 of the tongue 48. The other platen section 44 is removable in the same manner.
With platen sections 42 and 44 thus removed, rigid wooden pallets such as 46 (FIG. 4) can be easily handled in most applications. Although the tongue 48 remains in position, it protrudes forwardly only a relatively short distance and therefore does not interfere with the insertion of the forks into the pallet spaces, even during an angular approach to a pallet. The fact that the tongue 48 is bifurcated as shown in FIG. 2, with an elongate, centrally-located slot formed therethrough which is open and somewhat rounded at its forward extremity 48a, permits the full insertion of the forks into the end of a rigid pallet to the point where the pallet contacts the push-plate 32, the slot in the tongue 48 being wide enough to accept insertion of the pallet's central stringer. Although the push-plate 32 limits somewhat the rearward positioning of a palletized load on the forks, it should be noted that the placement of the unusually narrow frame 30 of the push-pull assembly between the forks 22a and 22b, so that the frame 30 overlaps the upstanding rear portions of the forks in a rearward direction as best seen in FIG. 2 rather than being positioned in front of the forks, minimizes the protrusion of the retracted push-plate 32 and thus maximizes the load carrying capacity of a counterbalanced truck with the push-pull assembly in place. Moreover, for relatively light palletized loads (relative to the capacity of the lift truck 16) pallets may even be engaged by the forks along their longitudinal sides by insertion of the forks up to the forward extremity of the tongue 48.
Because the platen sections 42 and 44 normally furnish vertical support for the tongue 48 and the attached frame 30 of the push-pull assembly, there should be some substitute means of vertical support if the platen sections are to be removed from the lift truck independently of the push-pull assembly and tongue 48. This substitute vertical support may be provided either by lugs such as 78 connected to the frame 30 and extending transversely therefrom so as to overlie the forks as best seen in FIG. 2 or, alternatively, by upper carriage hooks such as 80 (shown in phantom in FIG. 3) on the frame 30 for engaging the lip 18a of the upper carriage mounting member 18. Neither of these substitute support structures need be substantial because they are not relied upon for vertical support of the platen sections 42 and 44 nor, under operating circumstances, even for vertical support of the push-pull assembly.
Another feature providing added flexibility to the slipsheet handler is the provision of a transversely-adjustable connection between the platen sections 42 and 44 and the tongue 48. As seen in FIG. 2, the tongue 48 has multiple transversely-spaced apertures 82 extending through its forward interlocking member 52 for accepting insertion of the pin 68 at different transverse positions of the platen section 42 relative to the tongue 48. The transversely elongate nature of interlocking member 52 and hanger 54 permits transverse adjustment of the platen section relative to the tongue to provide alignment of the pin 68 with any of the apertures 82. Likewise, the rear interlocking member 50 of the tongue has a plurality of transversely-spaced positioning members 84 which mate with a plurality of transversely-spaced recesses 86 formed in the rear edge of the platen section 42. Thus by withdrawing the pin 68 and sliding the platen section forwardly with respect to the tongue, the platen section 42 may be transversely slidably adjusted on the forks relative to the tongue 48, primarily for the purpose of supporting wider loads on slipsheets. Similar transverse adjustment structure exists with respect to the other platen section 44.
In view of the fact that the platen sections are detachable from the tongue 48, it is convenient also to provide them in different interchangeable widths for accommodating different-sized loads.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the hydraulic circuit of the slipsheet handler 10. A pump 88 draws fluid from a reservoir 90 and feeds it to an operator-controlled selector valve 92. These components, together with a standard relief valve 94, are mounted on the lift truck 16 and are connected by a pair of quick-disconnect line couplers 100 and 102 to hydraulic lines 104 and 106 respectively of the slipsheet handler. The couplers 100 and 102, respectively, are disconnected whenever the slipsheet handler 10 is removed as an integral unit, i.e., including both platen and push-pull assembly.
The hydraulic actuating system of the slipsheet handler 10 is conventional except with respect to the manner in which the hydrualic cylinders 108 which selectively extend and retract the jaw member 40 are sequenced with respect to the cylinders 36. Such sequencing is necessary to ensure that the jaw member 40 is extended into engagement with the fixed jaw member 38 prior to any retraction of the cylinders 36 to retract the scissors linkage 34. Without such sequencing, it is possible that a slipsheet will not be grasped by the jaw 40 prior to the retraction of the scissors linkage to draw the load onto the platen.
Since the fluid line, such as 106 in FIG. 5, which extends the jaw-actuating cylinders 108 and retracts the scissors-actuating cylinders 36 is usually connected to these two sets of cylinders in parallel as shown in FIG. 5, it has often been necessary that some type of valve be interposed in the retraction line 110 of cylinders 36 to delay their retraction until the cylinders 108 have been fully extended. In the past, such valve has taken two different forms. One form of the valve has been a simple relief valve which remains closed until line pressure reaches a predetermined level indicating full extension of the cylinders 108, at which time the valve opens and permits pressurized fluid to be fed to cylinders 36 to retract them. A second form of the valve has been a time delay type, i.e., where the valve opens to permit retracting pressure to cylinders 36 only in response to line pressure sensed through a restricted pilot line.
Both of these prior forms of valves, however, have had serious drawbacks. The pressure-relief form of valve can be triggered prematurely under cold ambient conditions by high line pressures resulting from high hydraulic fluid viscosity or, alternatively, by high pressures due to the operator's rapid actuation of the selector valve 92. On the other hand, the time delay form of valve can cause too long a delay when operating under cold conditions which high fluid viscosity.
These same two types of valves have in the past also been used to control an opposite sequencing between the cylinders 108 and cylinders 36 respectively. In this second type of sequencing, the objective is to ensure that the cylinders 108 have retracted the jaw 40 prior to extension of the cylinders 36 to extend the scissors linkage. This ensures that the jaw 40 is open in preparation for an approach to a slipsheet-supported load and is particularly important if, in the process of pulling a load onto a platen, the slipsheet slips from the grasp of the jaw 40 and the scissors linkage has to be extended to regain contact with the slipsheet.
In the present invention, the two above-mentioned forms of valves previously used to accomplish the described sequencing operations are replaced by check valves mechanically responsive to the actual position of the jaw 40. For example, when selector valve 92 is actuated to introduce pressurized fluid to line 106 to extend the cylinders 108 and jaw 40 and retract the cylinders 36 and the scissors linkage 34, the jaw 40 is extended first while the cylinders 36 are prevented by check valve 112 from receiving retracting fluid through line 110 until jaw 40 has been extended into contact with jaw 38, at which time a contact member 40a engages a valve-unseating member 112a which opens the valve and permits retracting fluid to pass through line 110. Conversely, if the selector valve 92 is actuated to deliver pressurized fluid through line 104 to retract the cylinders 108 and jaw 40 and extend the cylinders 36 and the scissors linkage 34, an opposite check valve 114 prevents any exhaust of fluid from cylinders 36 while cylinders 108 are retracting the jaw 40, until such time as the jaw 40 is fully retracted at which time contact member 40b engages a valve-unseating member 114a which opens the valve to pemit the exhaust of fluid from cylinders 36 through line 110, thereby permitting extension of the cylinders 36 and thus extension of the scissors linkage 34. It will be appreciated that this form of sequencing valve arrangement will not permit premature extension or retraction of the cylinders 36 under conditions which cause excessive line pressure, nor will it cause excessively retarded actuation of the cylinders 36 under cold, high-viscosity conditions.
It should also be noted that it is within the scope of the invention for valves 112 and 114, rather than being interposed in line 110, alternatively to be interposed in the opposite line leading to cylinders 36 such that valve 112 prevents the exhaust of fluid from cylinders 36 during extension of cylinders 108 until engaged by contact member 40a. In such case valve 114 would prevent the supply of fluid to cylinders 36 during retraction of cylinders 108 until engaged by contact member 40b.
The terms and expressions which have been employed in the foregoing specification are used therein as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, it being recognized that the scope of the invention is defined and limited only by the claims which follow.

Gallery: Germany May Build First Wind Power-Storing Coal Mines in the W...
It's a classic story line in sustainability: dirty tech goes green. We've seen coal mines transformed into geothermal energy stores and dirty plants become gorgeous green buildings. Now, for the first time ever, we may see out-of-use coal mines used as pump storage for wind power in Germany. The state government of Lower Saxony is working with engineers to determine the potential for using abandoned mines in the Harz Mountains to house hydroelectric pumps to store excess wind power. If it comes to fruition, the plant would be the first of its kind in the world.

Pump storage has been around for years, with Dinorwig in Wales as an ideal example, running inside a mountain since 1984. Unfortunately, (as this article proves) most people are unaware of this method of storing energy, and think that the down time of wind turbines is insurmountable. To get to that conclusion people also have to ignore the fact that when one wind farm isn't generating, another will be.
BTW: MW (megawatts) is not a unit of energy – it's a unit of power i.e. how much energy the station can output in a second. And a further point: the number of homes you can power is a fairly useless figure since most people are unaware that homes account for maybe 4% of energy use in a country such as the UK. Percentage of total national/world energy or electricity use is a number that means more – or comparison to a fossil fuel station, perhaps.

The direct distance from Milwaukee to Nashville is about 480 miles. The distance from Milwaukee to Bakersfield is about 1,735 miles.
Friday night at Shank Hall, Tift Merritt brought all three cities a little closer together.
The North Carolina resident and her three-man band took some of the best elements from the country music of the classic Tennessee and California scenes and combined them with her own special skills.
The most noticeable skill, from the start and throughout the set, was her voice, a thing equally strong and fragile, with an extra hoarseness - presumably from touring - that enhanced a distinct resemblance to the expressively ragged elegance of Emmylou Harris.
Her songs also frequently drew from the same sources Harris has used, including the stories Gram Parsons inhaled from the smoke and sawdust of honky-tonks ("Bramble Rose"), the melodramatic mournfulness of Roy Orbison ("Drifted Apart") and the sun-kissed memories of 1970s folk rock ("Sweet Spot").
Merritt didn't just reach for the cooler parts of Nashville and Bakersfield; the mellow, chugging "Still Not Home" could have passed for an early Steve Earle song performed by Crystal Gayle. Merritt extended her reach toward other locales.
With the soulful "Your Love Made a U-Turn," she nodded to Stax and Memphis, and with the waltz-time blues sway of "Good Hearted Man," she acknowledged Texas, where both she and Janis Joplin were born, although Merritt's melancholy take on love was healthier and more hopeful than Joplin's usually was.
Then again, even in her less hopeful moments (in song, that is), Merritt could rely on her fellow players for support: Jay Brown was watchful as both bassist and backup singer; drummer Noah Levy could be subtle and strong; and Eric Heywood was a generally fine guitarist but never better than when he was sitting down behind the pedal steel.
Merritt wasn't any instrumental slouch, either, putting a good rhythmic acoustic strum into the Jayhawks-reminiscent "Stray Paper" and keeping her hands firmly on the simple, aching melody of the piano ballad "Another Country."
She had similar confidence when dealing with the crowd, which filled perhaps two-thirds of the venue.
Whether finding pleasure in having the shouted song requests be exclusively for her songs (and therefore inviting a call of "Free Bird!" within 10 seconds) or praising the rowdiness of the audience (which made at least one noisy patron even noisier), she interacted with the fans in a laid-back manner that Lyle Lovett might have appreciated.
Yet Merritt kept the flow of music steady, and the music was ultimately what closed the emotional distance between her and the rest of us.

Heart Disease in Ghandi-Land
Expand Messages
- Heart Disease in Ghandi-Land
Despite a vegetarian diet eaten by more than one-billion
Indians, heart disease rates are soaring in India. Why is that?
One Indian doctor seems to have the answer. This article
appeared in this week's (March 29, 2005) Deepikaglobal
website which bills itself as "the latest news for global
Indians." The entire article:
"The popular notion that milk was a complete food
and good for health has been disputed by an eminent
cardiologist here."
"Cattle milk, considered by most Indians as an indespensible
component of a health promoting diet, was a major cause of
heart attack, claims Dr J P S Sahani working with the prestigious
Ganga Ram hospital here."
Dr. Sahanio said:
"Milk is high in cholestrol, animal protein and lactose, which
was the reason that prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in the
country was high despite the fact that a majority of the population
was vegetarian."
"Dr Sahani recommended that cattle milk should be substituted
with soya products which were rich in vegetable proteins and
have less fat, no cholestrol and are rich in calcium and minerals.
Besides, vegetables, nuts and fruits were also rich in minerals,
he added."
"Nuts, he said, were best and comlete food as they contain vegetable
protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, iron calcium, fibre
and no cholestrol."
Heart disease is America's number one killer. Dairy products
represent America's number one food group.
Charles Attwood, M.D., once described to me the pint of
blood he had drawn from a patient. In the hour before
parting with his pint, the young man had eaten lunch at a
fast food restaurant, enjoying hamburgers, fries, and a
The blood was "murky and opaque," according to Dr. Attwood.
I will always remember that phrase and Attwood's further
descriptive imagery. After 15 minutes, a one-half inch layer
of fat had risen to the top of the plastic package
containing that blood.
In 1980, the British journal Lancet (ii: 205-207) reported:
"More patients who had suffered a myocardial infarction had
elevated levels of antibodies against milk proteins than was
found in a comparable group of patients without coronary
heart disease."
In 1994, the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (48:305-
325) found:
"Milk consumption correlates positively with cholesterol
levels in blood as well as coronary mortality. In
comparisons between 17 countries, there is a good
correlation between national cholesterol levels and
mortality from ischaemic heart disease."
There is controversy regarding the "fat-connection" and
heart disease. Is it fat, or is it dairy, which also
contains fat? In 1977, the British Journal of Preventive &
Social Medicine noted:
"Greenland Eskimos, who have a very low incidence of
ischemic heart disease, have a high-fat, high-protein diet,
but a very low intake of milk."
The May, 2000 issue of Medical Hypothesis provided an
important clue as to how dairy compromises the heart:
"Excessive milk consumption may adversely affect the
circulation on account of the high calcium content of milk
and because lactose promotes the intestinal absorption of
calcium. Excessive calcium intake may cause calcification
and rigidification of the large elastic arteries, which
could be an important factor in causing myocardial

Today we Celebrated my uncle Walters 70 birthday at the Mandarin. It was great to see all the family. Though I took lots of pictures of family I thought these one of the kids enjoying some cotton candy made a great picture of the day.
Archive for Food
POD: A Birthday with Family
POD: Evening Ice Cream
POD: Ice Cream with Violet
POD: Lunch for two
POD: Our Princess Helps Bake
POD: Chicken and Shrimp for Daddy
POD: Last DQ Cone
Today was free Cone day at Dairy Queen, so after dinner our little family headed out to get celebrate the warming weather and Dairy Queens 75 birthday with a cone. We were greeted with a sign on the door saying the free cones ended at '6 pm sharp!'. With two kids excited for ice cream I had little choice but to pay for a pair of cones. When I asked the staff about it they were flippant and dismissive saying the free cones ended at six. I should have left right then and got the kids ice cream somewhere else. Instead we stayed and the kids tried chocolate dipped cones for the first time. They both loved them. It saddens me that I don't want to take them back there again.
On a side note, I want to say it's not about the money. I probably would have bought myself a blizzard instead of having a free cone myself. What bothers me is that they advertised all day free cones, that's not what they delivered. What they delivered feels like a scam, bring customers in for a free cone, but don't actually give away any cones. I'm sure more people bought something then just walked away. It may not have been their plan but sitting there with my kids watching the people line up it sure looked like it to me.
POD: Pizza Night
Tonight we made home-made pizza. The kids loved picking the toppings and putting them on the way they wanted it.

Bulgarian Industrial Production Grew in January
Industrial production in Bulgaria was up 1.4% in January and grew 2.3% on a yearly basis.
Data by the National Statistical Institute has shown that car manufacturing has registered an increase of 48.5% compared to January 2013, as Bulgarian website Investor.bg reports.
Printing was up 17.5%, machinery construction rose 16.3%, and pharmacy had a 15.1% higher output.
The sectors above, as well as communication and information technology, are considered by the World Bank as fields with huge potential for development in Bulgaria.
Vehicle manufacturing (cars excluded), however, has dwindled by 31.9% compared to January last year, as well as metallurgy (17.6%), and tobacco production (11.2%).
Industrial production, along with consumption and exports, are expected this year to drive the economy further than the 0.9% increase of GDP in 2013.

Re: Only about a third of the pictures on my phone are on my photo stream. Why?? in response to Meyia
If these are older photos that are missing it may be because only photos added after turning on photo stream are added. If you are connecting a new device to an existing photo stream, it's probably because photo stream only keeps photos from the last 30 days. After that they are deleted from photo stream (and are no longer available to newly connected devices), but will remain on any devices that have already received them.

While the big boys would like to think everybody
is happy with home banking and ATMs, when you get
away from the metropolitan areas there are a lot of
folks with a lot of bucks who want to see a smiling
face when they take their money to the bank, and they
want nothing to do with pcs or ATMs. They are paying
attention to the lack of service being provided by most of
the major banks, whose idea of customer service is to
point them to a hotline to Charlotte or Raleigh or
wherever. The community banks should be having a field day.
as I speak. I think that speaks squarely with
your verbage. Look at the verbage in 1Q99 of FAM from
the loss of some of its customer base of some of its
merged entities. Locally, it is going to old local banks
that are retaining the community banking concept along
with the newbies. I don't do one ounce of business
with the regional bank in which I own stock while I am
not local to BBT. I still carry sizable amounts in
premium access accounts which are a rip off, but, pay
slightly higher than the brokerage money-market with
Employee's who become aware of unpublished policy
decisions, etc. become insiders per the SEC. At least, if
they use this information to benefit from it or help
someone else benefit from it. Although most business
(including BBT) a careful about this, the rumor mill
operates whenever you have more than two people involved,
so bits and pieces from above can become real
insider information if all are not careful.
the best advice already given is that all the stuff
you read here, including my balderdash, is never
worth making an investment decision on. It's just fun.
Do the math, analysis, talk to employees for their
opinions, do business with the company you might buy a
piece of - all of this is better info to make an
investment decision on. I know that's not new information,
but it probably bears
people are aware of that.
The funny thing
is, this mythical CFO thought no one recognized his
posts. He was so obvious everyone in the know knew who
it was. Only person he fooled was himself. But. He
is gone now. And hopefully forgotten.
with your definition. Believe SEC considers insiders to be policymakers, ie the board of directors and certain executive officers (including the CFO), listed in the proxy.
good thang we've got you to whip us back in line, yaaas
The nonsense level is a an all time high here!
Thats good...it means BB&T is getting some attention.
The most nonsense is this insider stuff. Lets be
clear what we mean by insider eh?
An employee is
not necessarily an insider. Employees know what is
going on operationaly, but are generally not privvy to
corporate decisions before they are released. Should
employees post....their thoughts should be considered as
cautiously as anyone elses posts. They may have valuable
observations....or it may be disgruntled ramblings. It is not
however neccesarily inside information. In fact....I
recommend talking to employees....see how they feel about
their jobs, management, honesty of management, trst,
growth opportunities, equity in compensation etc. That
will truely tell you more about the comapny than an
analysts report....and would not be "inside information"!
it may never buy another big bank but expects to
grow more via the internet does cast an interesting
light on a possible future coming soon: when banks who
failed to sell out at a big premium but haven't the
capital to expand aggressively on their own on the
internet get left behind as a few giant banks dominate the
quoted a number of legal and commmunications
advisors who said it's a bad idea for a company to go on
message boards even to correct information they believe
to be wrong. They suggest broad distribution of a
press release on material news as I recall. Anyhow,
it's an interesting response to the use of the
internet. I think the point is to avoid "selective
disclosure" to a segment of the investing public without
covering all investors. That's the background behind my
ahead would take too much time away from golf and the grandkids! As you said, we're all looking for the same things; good investments, good earnings, and good dividends!

|Changing the center of settlement in the Slocan Valley : an exploration of one opportunity towards a new configuration
|Anderson, April Anne
|Master of Landscape Architecture - MLA
|Landscape Architecture
|Copyright Date:
|This thesis looks at the settlement configuration in the rural landscape of the Slocan Valley and sees that it negatively impacts both the ecology and the "sense of place" there. It then explores how an unexpected and unique opportunity that suddenly materialized - a new public space - could be taken advantage of to change the settlement configuration in the future, to ameliorate these impacts. The new public space is substantial and powerfully positioned: fifty kilometers long and thirty meters wide, it is a continuous corridor running the entire length of the valley - the former Canadian Pacific Railway, deactivated as a rail line, and designated "rails to trails" status. This new public corridor - "The New Commons Corridor" - dedicated to non-motorized movement, could change the settlement configuration in the Slocan Valley from one focused on motorized vehicles, centered on the highway to one focused on human-measured movement, centered on the commons, by becoming the new center of settlement. The premise of this thesis is that such a configuration would be beneficial in two strongly connected ways. Firstly, that it would be a more ecologically sound settlement configuration, protecting the integrity of the Valley's myriad ecological systems. Secondly, that it would be a more socially sound settlement configuration, one where a much greater "sense of place" could begin to build. Far from being anachronistic, the ideas put forward by this thesis reflect current sensibilities that stand in stark contrast to the sterility and waning relevance of car-centered development. This thesis is a spatial exploration of the feasibility of the New Commons Corridor being a catalyst for such change in the rural landscape of the Slocan Valley. Landscape ecology methodology was used for this spatial exploration, which is carried out both "by hand", and using Geographic Information Science. The concepts central to this thesis, "Sense of Place", and "Human-Measured Means of Movement" are explored chiefly through the philosophy of Martin Heidegger as interpreted by Christian Norberg-Schultz and applied by Christopher Alexander, and "Ecology-Based Settlement Configuration", "Ecology-Based Planning" and "Landscape Ecology", are explored chiefly through the work of Richard T.T. Forman. Key Words: "Sense of Place"; "Ecology-Based Settlement Configuration"; "Corridor"; "Slocan Valley"; "Slocan Valley Heritage Trail".
