Brent Musburger is not shying away from the Katherine Webb situation. In fact, he is embracing it. The announcer was calling the Kansas-Iowa State basketball game in Ames Monday and was approached by a fan who brought a Katherine Webb poster. The fan proudly tweeted that Musburger had autographed the poster, but the best part of all was Musburger's personalized message. "She's a 10!" he wrote. Musburger said last month that he didn't think he did anything wrong when he gushed about the beauty queen's good looks during the BCS National Championship Game. Webb stated that although she hadn't spoken to Musburger, she appreciated his compliments about her looks. She also recently said she was thankful to him for launching her career. Photo credit: Twitter/MattMumISU H/T Kegs 'N Eggs The post Brent Musburger signs fan's Katherine Webb poster 'She's a 10!' (Picture) appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

A century ago, women still couldnt vote in the United States. Today, assorted experts lament that despite considerable gains over the last half century, a glass ceiling still blocks many American women from higher workplace status.
And yes, though last months election lifted South Carolina out of last place nationally in the percentage of women in state legislatures, were still way down there in 49th place, with our 12.9 percent topping only Louisianas 11.1 percent.
So Britains looming removal of male priority in the royal line of succession represents another welcome step toward gender equity. A bill that Parliaments expected to pass soon by an overwhelming margin would designate the first-born child of the reigning monarch, regardless of sex, as first in line to the throne.
This change coincides with the news that Prince Williams wife Kate is expecting a baby who could grow up to be the king or queen.
But before forgetting that women have long wielded considerable clout from thrones and other bases of considerable power, check out this historical review from columnist Richard Evans last week in The Guardian, a British newspaper: It is striking how often English monarchs have descended through the female line. And the three most successful monarchs since personal leadership in battle ceased to be the major qualification for successful rule, as it was in the Middle Ages, have all been women: Elizabeth I and II and Victoria.
Indeed, Queen Victoria ruled particularly long (1837-1901) and well as the British Empire expanded to unprecedented vastness.
And while Queen Elizabeth IIs ongoing tenure doesnt cover nearly as much territory, her subjects rightly celebrated the 60th anniversary of her benevolent reign this year.
So if the Duchess of Cambridge delivers a baby girl next spring, that future queen will have some feminine-monarch impressive examples to follow.
And as for the persisting dearth of women in our General Assembly, hey, at least we have a woman governor.

CHASKA, MN - AUGUST 15: Richard Sterne of South Africa hits his tee shot on the tenth hole during the third round of the 91st PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club on August 15, 2009 in Chaska, Minnesota. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)
Germany's Maximilian Kieffer and South Africa's Richard Sterne each shot an 8-under-par 63 Thursday to share the lead after the first round of the European Tour's Joburg Open. Kieffer and Sterne both had bogey-free rounds on the West Course at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club to move ahead of another South African, Bryce Easton, who had a 7-under 65 on the East Course. American Peter Uihlein was one of eight players tied for fourth at 6 under. Kieffer had eight birdies. Sterne sank six birdies and an eagle on No. 9 on the par-71 West, continuing the fine early season form that saw him finish second at the Dubai Desert Classic. ''You feel you need to put a good score together on the West Course, and I did that,'' Sterne said. ''Now I've got three tough rounds on the East and, hopefully, I can give myself a chance on Sunday.'' Easton's round was boosted by a hole in one on the par-3 12th on the longer, par-72 East Course. Uihlein had a single bogey on No. 17 on the Wes...

Compare Cheap Car Hire Canberra
Canberra is Australia's capital and also the home of the Brumbies and the runners up in the 2013 Investec Super Rugby Cup. Although it seems strange that the capital of Australia is not located on a coastline, it is still as stunning as the rest of the country. With the snow capped peaks of the Brindabella Ranges acting as a backdrop Canberra is a city that needs to be explored and the best way to do that is in a hire car.
How does VroomVroomVroom make hiring a Canberra rental car a piece of cake?
1. We do all the research. When you get a car rental Canberra with us, we will help you find the best deals amongst our partners and present you with a comparative list of available cars from Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Europcar and Hertz. All you have to do is choose the rates you want, thus saving you TIME and MONEY.
(photo by locks911.com)2. Convenience of Pick up. You have the option of collecting your car hire at the Airport if you are flying into Canberra, meaning that you can start your adventure off on the right foot with VroomVroomVroom.
3. No Cancellation Fees. We know that life is full of surprises and unexpected circumstances so there is no need to fret if you need to cancel your Canberra car hire. VroomVroomVroom does not charge cancellation fees.
Prefer to hire a Campervan in Canberra?We also compare campervan rates as well as current rates for hire cars available from Canberra Airport and from the suburb of Fyshwick.

Questacon - National Science and Technology Centre
Places To Stay

What else can you do with your Canberra rental car?
Take a sail on Lake Burley Griffin. Eat your way around Manuka and Kingston. Explore the history of this nation through the War Memorial or a tour through the old and new Parliament House. Take a wander through the multi coloured fields full of tulips and other flowers during Floriade. Your options are endless in Canberra for things to do with your rental car so get exploring.
Although the public transport system can probably take you where you want to go in the city area, having a rental car means you have the freedom to explore Canberra in your own time. With the National Museum, Library, War Memorial and also Parliament House, you are going to need all the time you have got to enjoy what the city has to offer.
In the middle of the CBD area is a shopping centre that sprawls across a few streets. This is nothing but good news for the shopaholics amongst us. If you are that way inclined, make sure to select a model of rental car with plenty of boot space for stowing away your buys.
There is also such a thriving fine dining culture in the city it would be a shame not to experience it all. Taking a walk through the CBD can give you many options on where to eat, but if you want something to write home about try a few of these places. Courgette on Marcus Clark Street, or try Jewel of India, Thirst or Mezzalira which are just some of the amazing restaurants on hand at the renowned Melbourne Building.

Boy … If you're visiting this website right now, I really do wish we could have met under better terms!
The chances are that if you're reading this page, you or somebody that you care about is experiencing a tough or devastating break up.
I know what it's like to not be able to get any sleep, and have every damn song on the radio remind you of the person that you are missing.
I also know what it's like when you can't reach them, and how anxious you feel every time you text them and don't hear back from them.
So what do you then go and do? …
You text them again and again looking needy and desperate … Boy am I guilty of that!
I have also contacted her family, and don't forget the drunk dialing … I will end here because embarrassingly the list goes on and on.
But the worst part was that no matter what I did, the whole situation somehow seemed to get more and more painful. With no end in sight.
After all my behavior after the break up, I was absolutely sure that I had destroyed all chances of us getting back together. In fact I was going to be lucky if I ever saw or spoke to her again.
Using The Law Of Attraction To Get My Ex Back:
That is when the Law Of Attraction came into my life. I had never heard of it before, but I was in desperation searching for answers on how to get back with my ex, much like yourself …
It truly was a moment where the student was ready, and the teacher appeared! … I read everything I could about the attraction laws, and specifically using the law to get your ex back.
I started applying the LOA in my day to day life, and you know what? … My life and my situation with my ex started to change over night!
No my ex girlfriend did not instantly contact me out of the blue, but things in my reality started to positively change on an almost daily basis. I was also becoming happier and happier every day.
Now I am sure if you're anything like me, you will have read a lot about the laws of the universe by now.
So you will be familiar with the concept of intending the desires that you would like to manifest, and then allowing the universe to bring about the right circumstances.
The universe will bring the right people, resources and situations into your life to allow your desire of getting your ex back to manifest.
Well the same applies for using the LOA to get back together with your ex. The more I got out of the way and just allowed my desire to get back together to manifest, the quicker things started to happen in the most unexpected ways!
The Universe's Solutions For Getting Your Ex Back, Supplied By The Law Of Attraction!
As I said above, if you allow the universe to do its work, the right people will be brought into your reality to allow your desire to manifest …
And just like this powerful law has brought this website into your reality, it brought one incredible solution, to this painful problem, into my reality!
So what was this solution? …
The second person is Michael Fiore. Michael is the creator of the incredibly powerful Text Your Ex Back Program.
This program is powerful! … It took care of the taking action aspect of the LOA.
Michael's program comes with a step by step program that walks you through every step of getting back with your ex …
Just imagine for a moment, having someone telling you exactly what to do, or NOT to do each day, when trying to get back with a lost love … Someone telling you exactly when and what to text your ex … and just imagine having an online support community of other people who are also in the process of getting a lover back!
That's exactly what you get with Text Your Ex Back!
Remember the law is always at work. The universe is always providing you with exactly what you need to get back together with your lover in each and every moment. Even if it's not how you had expected your desire to manifest.
If I had resisted they way the universe was manifesting my desire, I never would have been introduced to these people.
Unfortunately I can't guarantee that either method will be able to get your ex back for you.
But you have nothing to lose by clicking on the link below and meeting Michael, and at least getting some free tips on how to start moving forward. Including some things you can start doing to improve the situation with your ex.

Snapchat: Turkeydrapes
I am eccentric and eclectic. I like all the Colorado standards like camping, hiking, fishing, snowboarding, playing in the mountains, 4-wheeling, shooting, and motorcycle riding. Exploring the city looking for new restaurants, pubs, a bar with warm summer patios and cold drinks appeals to me just as much. Bonus points if hitting up zoos, aquariums, museums, and catching sporting events in town, especially a Rockies game, appeals to you. I also really enjoy cooking.
I'm looking to find someone who compliments me, makes me laugh and is generally fucking awesome. A woman with brains and beauty is extremely sexy. I appreciate educated women that can carry a conversation. Someone who doesn't mind getting some dirt under her nails playing outside yet is just as comfortable getting dolled up for a night out. Finding new adventures and making fun stories along the way with that someone is a must. With that said, I'm not looking to just jump right into marriage, 2.5 kids, and white picket fences in the suburbs. However, that doesn't mean I'm not open to the idea.
If you're one of the ladies on here with pictures of you playing with lions and/or tigers, hook it up. I want to play with one too.

The manufacture of non-returnable packages for e.g. milk is frequently carried out by the conversion of web-shaped, laminated packing material to a tube, filling of the tube with milk and sealing and forming to filled packing containers of the desired, e.g. parallelepipedic, shape. During the forming, which is done by means of external forming devices, the contents are made use of as an internal mandrel or a holder-up for the forming devices, so that the desired shape can be achieved without creasing or other deformations. The above-mentioned forming principle works less well if the packing containers are not to be completely filled but have a certain air space or headspace. The proportioning of the contents also becomes uncertain and the desired accuracy of volume cannot always be achieved. These difficulties are overcome if the contents are mixed prior to filling with gas, preferably sterile air, in appropriate proportions, so that the contents obtain a foam-like character, using a gas volume which is in a suitable proportion to the air space of the finished packing container. The invention relates to a method and apparatus for proportioning the contents in the manufacture of packing containers.
1. A method for manufacturing and filling packing containers, comprising the steps of:
forming a tube from a continuous web of packing material and advancing said tube continuously downwardly in a vertical direction;
conducting a liquid continuously into said tube through a delivery pipe having an outlet for the liquid;
supplying a gas at a predetermined rate to said delivery pipe upstream from said outlet to produce a foamed mixture of said gas and said liquid in predetermined proportions;
filling said tube with said foamed gas-liquid mixture from said pipe to a predetermined level above said outlet;
compressing a first portion of the tube together and sealing the tube at a location below said predetermined level;
shaping a second portion of said tube into a packing container, said second portion of said tube being between said first portion and said predetermined level; and subsequently
compressing a third portion of the tube together and sealing said third portion of said tube at a location between said predetermined level and said second portion; whereby said liquid contents subsequently settle and the gas forms an air space in said container according to said predetermined proportions.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the mixing of gas with the contents is achieved by injecting the gas through a nozzle into the contents.
3. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein a certain excess of gas is mixed in with the contents to compensate for losses during the conversion of the packing material tube to individual packing containers.
4. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the gas is sterile air.
5. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the gas is an inert gas, preferably nitrogen.
6. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the gas is pressurized to a pressure of 3-4 bar.
7. An apparatus for manufacturing and filling packing containers comprising:
means for feeding a continuous web in a vertical direction and for shaping said continuous web into a tube;
means for sealing a first portion of said tube at a transverse zone thereof so as to form the bottom of a packing container;
a first feed pipe for continuously conducting liquid contents into said tube and terminating adjacent said transverse zone;
a second feed pipe connected to said first feed pipe at a location exterior of said tube for continuously supplying a pressurized gas to the first feed pipe and for mixing the gas and liquid contents in said first feed pipe in predetermined proportions to form a foamed mixture;
an extension of said first feed pipe delivering said foamed mixture and filling said tube to a predetermined level in said tube above said transverse zone;
means for shaping a second portion of said tube into a packing container while said mixture fills said tube to said predetermined level, said second portion of said tube being between said first portion and said predetermined level; and
means for sealing a third portion of said tube at a location between said predetermined level and said second portion to form said packing container having a top portion below said predetermined level so as to fill the container with the liquid contents and the gas defining a predetermined headspace.
8. The apparatus in accordance with claim 7 wherein a nozzle is provided in said second feed pipe.
9. The apparatus in accordance with claim 8 wherein the nozzle is an injection nozzle.
10. The apparatus in accordance with claim 8 wherein the nozzle has an internal diameter in the range of 0.2 to 0.6 mm.
11. The apparatus in accordance with claim 7 wherein the means for shaping and means for sealing said packing container includes a first pair of reciprocating jaws.
12. The apparatus in accordance with claim 11 wherein said means for sealing said tube includes a second pair of reciprocating jaws attached to said first pair of reciprocating jaws.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 819,480, filed Jan. 16, 1986, which was a continuation of Ser. No. 532,482, filed Sept. 15, 1983, both now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for proportioning the contents in the manufacture of packing containers formed from tubular, flexible packing material. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for proportioning contents which are fed to a container which is then flattened, sealed and cut off below the surface of the contents.
Packing containers for e.g. milk or other, in particular liquid, foodstuffs are manufactured generally from laminated, flexible material which comprises layers of paper and thermoplastics. A known packing container is formed in that a laminate web, while being fed through the packing machine, is successively converted to tubular shape by joining together its two longitudinal edges and sealing them to one another in a liquid-tight manner. The tube so formed is moved substantially vertically downwards through the machine at the same time as contents are furnished via a fill pipe introduced into the upper, open end of the tube and extending downwards inside the tube. At the lower end of the tube the machine is provided with reciprocating processing jaws, co-operating with one another, which press together the passing material tube at regular intervals so that transverse flattened zones are produced wherein the walls of the material tube are sealed to one another in a liquid-tight manner. The transverse sealing of the material tube takes place below the level of the contents, and the tube is thus converted to coherent, substantially cushion-shaped packing containers which are completely filled with contents. After the cushion-shaped packing containers have been separated from one another through cuts in the transverse sealing zones, a final form-processing takes place so that the packing containers obtain the desired, e.g. parallelepipedic shape.
During the flattening of the packing material tube as well as the subsequent form-processing for converting the cushion-shaped packing containers to parallelepipedic shape, the contents are used as an internal "mandrel" or holder-up in the packing container. That is, the contents generate the internal back pressure which is necessary for making possible the forming of the packing container without undesirable deformation.
The principle of making use of the contents as a holder-up in the forming process has worked excellently up to now, since the packing containers have been manufactured so as to be completely filled with incompressible liquid contents, that is to say without air space. If packing containers with air space (so-called headspace) are to be manufactured, the contents do not produce the same well-defined and stable back pressure over the whole surface of the packing container and this increases the risk of creasing or other deformations. The technique of manufacture described above has proved less appropriate up to now, therefore, for the manufacture of packing containers of the partially filled type.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide a technique which makes it possible to manufacture and form partially filled packing containers with satisfactory results without having the packing containers being incompletely shaped or deformed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method making possible an accurate proportioning of the quantity of contents in each packing container.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method which can be used in existing packing machines without appreciable complication.
These and other objects have been achieved in accordance with the invention in that a method for proportioning contents includes the mixing of the contents with gas prior to being fed into the packing material tube.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for proportioning contents which is simple and reliable in operation and capable of being combined with known types of packing machines.
These and other objects have been achieved in accordance with the invention in that an apparatus for proportioning contents includes a gas feed pipe which is joined to the fill pipe at some distance from the opening of the fill pipe.
The method and the apparatus in accordance with the invention provide a number of advantages in that they overcome the aforementioned disadvantages and make is possible to utilize known principles of package forming for the manufacture of packing containers which are only partially filled with contents. The volume of contents can be regulated in each individual packing container with great accuracy in a simple manner through variation of the quantity of gas fed. By choosing a suitable type of gas which is not harmful to the product, the method can be used with practically all types of contents.
A preferred embodiment of the method as well as of the apparatus in accordance with the invention will now be described in more detail with special reference to the enclosed schematic drawings in which like elements bear like reference numerals, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the conversion of a web-shaped packing material to individual packing containers in a known type of packing machine and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic cross-sectional view of the conversion of a packing material tube to individual packages according to the invention.
The packing machine indicated in FIG. 1 is of the previously known type which converts web-shaped packing material to individual packing containers. The packing laminate generally comprises a central carrier layer of paper which is coated on either side with thin, liquid-tight layers of thermoplastic material, e.g. polyethylene. The packing laminate is provided with crease lines in order to facilitate folding and conversion to finished packing containers. The laminate is fed to the packing machine 1 in the form of a roll 2 which is suspended so that it can rotate in the magazine of the packing machine. From the magazine the packing material web 3 runs via a number of guide rollers 4 to the upper part of the machine where it runs over a reversing roll 5 to continue thereafter substantially vertically downwards through the packing machine.
With the help of various folding and forming elements 6,7 arranged along the path of movement of the material web 3, the packing material web 3 during its downward movement through the machine is successively converted to tubular form. In operation, the web 5 two longitudinal edges are guided towards each other and are sealed together so that a material tube 8 with a longitudinal, liquid-tight seal is produced. The sealing together of the two longitudinal edges is achieved through the supply of heat by a hot-air nozzle 9, by means of which the parts of the thermoplastic layers located at the edges are induced to melt. The two longitudinal edges are then pressed together while they are being cooled thus causing the thermoplastic layers to be joined together, so that the desired, wholly liquid-tight joint is produced.
The packing material tube 8 so formed is filled thereafter with contents via a fill pipe 10 which extends through the upper, open end of the packing material tube 8. The fill pipe then runs substantially concentrically downwards through the packing material tube and opens at a little distance above the bottom end of the same. At some distance below the opening of the fill pipe 10, forming and sealing jaws 11,12 (FIG. 2) arranged on either side of the packing material tube 8 are provided which are adapted so that they process the packing material tube in pairs between themselves. For the sake of clarity only one set of forming and sealing jaws is shown in the figure, while in practice usually a further number of jaws is provided which alternately process the packing material tube.
The sealing jaws 12 are moved continuously in a direction towards and away from each other so that they compress and seal the packing material tube along transverse sealing zones at regular intervals while at the same time displacing the contents. The sealing jaws 12 are moved at the same time in a vertical direction so that when they are in the upper turning position they are moved towards each other and compress and retain the packing material tube. In the subsequent movement downwards through the packing machine, the walls of the packing material tube are compressed and welded together, the material tube at the same time being drawn forward over a distance which corresponds to the length of one packing container blank. During the downward movement, the two forming jaws 11 are swivelled towards each other at the same time so that the part of the packing material tube 8 which is situated directly above the sealing jaws 12 is partly compressed and formed to the desired shape which may be substantially cushion-shaped with a rectangular cross-section. When the sealing jaws 12 have reached their bottom position the forming jaws 11 are swivelled out again to the position shown in FIG. 2. At the same time, the material tube 8 is cut off by means of a transverse cut in the zone compressed by the sealing jaws. As a result a previously formed packing container 13 will be detached from the packing material tube. The packing container 13 is then transported further with the help of a conveyor, not shown, for continued processing and final shaping so that a packing container of the desired shape (in this case parallelepipedic) is produced.
As mentioned earlier, the desired contents are fed to the bottom end of the packing material tube 8 via the fill pipe 10. In the continuous operation of the packing machine and manufacture of wholly filled packages, the contents are fed in such quantities that the level of the contents is always situated above the region wherein the packing containers are sealed off and formed. This ensures that the packages will be completely filled with contents, and makes possible the forming of the container, since in order to achieve a satisfactory forming it is necessary to make use of the internal back pressure which is created by the liquid present in the packing container.
In the manufacture of partially filled packing containers having an air space, it has been advantageous to feed the contents in such quantities to each packing container so that the desired air space is created. This proportioned feed means that an air space is generated in the upper end of the packing container which means that during the form-processing the back pressure caused by the contents varies in different parts of the packing container, so that the forming will be uncertain and the risk of faults e.g. crease formation, will increase strikingly.
In accordance with the invention partially filled packing containers are manufactured by the continuous feed of contents through the fill pipe 10, these contents, however, having been mixed with gas prior to the feed to the packing material tube 8. The apparatus in accordance with the invention includes a gas feed pipe 14 which is joined to the fill pipe 10 at some distance before the opening of the fill pipe 10. In a preferred embodiment, the gas feed pipe 14 is joined to the fill pipe 10 approximately at the part of the fill pipe 10 which is located outside the packing material tube 8. To improve the mixing in of gas with the contents and to obtain the desired size of gas bubbles, the gas feed pipe is appropriately provided with a nozzle 15 at the point where it joins the fill pipe.
When it is intended that the machine should manufacture packing containers which are only partially filled, the contents are fed continuously in such a rhythm that during operation the level of contents remains substantially in the desired position at some distance above the forming station, which is regulated by a float-controlled valve. At the same time gas is supplied via the gas feed pipe 14 in such quantity that the desired quantity of contents together with the gas volume present in the contents wholly fill the packing container after sealing off from the packing material tube. With the help of the nozzle 15 which preferably has a diameter of 0.2-0.6 mm the mixing of gas is performed in such a manner that a large number of bubbles is formed in the contents. The bubbles are very small and uniformly distributed in the contents, so that the mixture remains substantially homogeneous during the time it takes for the contents to pass through the fill pipe 10 and flow out into the bottom end of the packing material tube 8. To compensate for the losses which occur due to a part of the gas escaping and flowing upwards through the packing material tube, the mixing of gas is done with a certain excess which has to be determined in each individual case, since it depends upon the viscosity of the product filled. In case of a desired filling ratio of 90% in the finished packing containers, somewhat more than 10% gas should therefore be supplied to the contents. It has been found that a typical value for the amount of excess gas is 50% in case of relatively mobile contents such as e.g. milk, which means that approximately 15% gas has to be added to the contents in order to obtain a filling ratio of 90% in the finished packing containers.
Experimental work has shown, moreover, that for the filling of standard milk with a fat content of 1.5-3% it is appropriate to feed gas at a pressure of approximately 3-4 bar through a nozzle with a diameter of 0.2 to 0.6 mm, preferably 0.4 mm. In this way a great number of well distributed gas bubles with an average diameter of approximately 50μ are obtained. The absolute majority of bubbles has a diameter within 30-80μ which means that the uniform distribution of the gas bubbles in the contents remains substantially unaltered during the forming process. Only 15 to 20 minutes after the mixing in of the gas a marked redistribution has taken place in that the bulk of the bubles has moved to the upper part of the finished packing container.
The quantity of gas added can be regulated accurately in that the blowing in of gas via the gas feed pipe 14 is controlled continuously and is regulated as a function of the quantity of contents which flows through the fill pipe 10. The gas used must be of such a quality that it does not react with, or in some other manner influence, the contents proper. In most cases the gas can consist of sterile air, but for certain contents, e.g. fruit juices, an inert gas, such as e.g. nitrogen, is preferred.
As mentioned earlier, an accurate and homogeneous mixing in of the gas bubbles into the contents passing through the fill pipe 10 is assured by feeding the gas through a nozzle of small diameter and by feeding under high pressure. As a result the gas is mixed in with the contents in such a manner that the contents substantially obtain a foam-like character. An alternative method of mixing the gas and the contents includes providing the fill pipe with an internal ejector nozzle at the place where it joins the gas feed pipe. With such an ejector nozzle the flow of contents will regulate automatically the desired mixing in of gas into the contents, which is an advantage, since the gas no longer has to be fed under pressure. In cases where sterile air can be used, this also means that the gas can be taken directly from the sterile air system of the packing machine without utilizing a gas storage and compressor.
The method in accordance with the invention can be used in aseptic as well as in non-aseptic conditions, that is to say in the filling of sterile milk as well as of standard (pasteurized ) milk. In aseptic manufacture it is essential that the pressure medium supplied should be constituted of a sterile gas, e.g. sterile air, which does not spoil the otherwise sterile filling conditions. Experiments have shown that this is readily possible and that aseptic packing containers of normal long life can be manufactured without any difficulty.
The principles, preferred embodiments and modes of operation of the present invention have been described in the foregoing specification. The invention which is intended to be protected herein should not, however, be construed as limited to the particular forms disclosed, as these are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Variations and changes may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, the foregoing detailed description should be considered exemplary in nature and not as limiting to the scope and spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Jim Davis breaks down what exactly an irrigation consultant does.
What exactly is an irrigation consultant and why are companies hiring them? As irrigation technology grows increasingly sophisticated, landscape architects and even irrigation installers aren't always up to date on all the latest information. But for an irrigation consultant, that's their primary job. As the one handling the design, an irrigation consultant is a specialist who is fully up-to-date and can design a long-lasting system that is both water and energy efficient.
Jim Davis, owner and founder of Landtech Design, headquartered in St. Louis, says that a consultant can also put contractors and distributors on the same level by impartially specifying the appropriate equipment for the project being addressed. Another role of the consultant may be as a water-harvesting expert – something that's still very new to many companies, but that consultants like Landtech have become experts in.
"An irrigation consultant provides a crucial link with the team in being able to provide early preliminary calculations for anticipated water use/demand," Davis says. "This greatly assists in the planning efforts in the programming phase of a project, in determining water-storage chamber sizes and locations, and in positioning of the necessary mechanical equipment involved."
Davis, a landscape architect, broke into consulting when he recognized the need to fill a gap. Many companies didn't have the expertise to handle a complex irrigation design. Landtech handles the design and compiles the plans and specifications for an irrigation project, which will go out for bid with the plans for the rest of the building and construction package.
Once that part of the job is past, they typically move on to the next project. "Occasionally we interface directly with the contractors that install the project but oftentimes we don't get retained to stay on board as consultants," Davis says. "Too often, the project we designed gets awarded to a contractor and we're on to the next projects we have to design."
When it comes to hiring, make sure to focus on the most important part: interviewing.
A new NALP survey shows an additional 240,000 labor positions, all available in the landscape industry.
The company has partnered with ACE Franchise Services to boost sales and growth.
The wheel loader lineup will now adhere to Final Tier 4 emissions standards.

If it's been a long day of poor-quality smoked meat, then I start ordering dessert. If the meat is bad, then the sweet stuff is usually pretty good. I watched the knife man cut the brisket and it looked tough and springy, so I added a slice of chocolate cake to the order. Beans were unseasoned and the slaw was a wet mess. A hot link was little more than a spicy hot dog. Brisket…
Pretty good brisket! Pork ribs were great!
Very, very average BBQ. Almost no smoke flavor, the meat came out lukewarm (portions were massive on the 4 meat plate), and the highlight of the experience was the sweet tea and green beans. The brisket had almost no flavor, the ribs were very average, the chicken was decent, and the pork shoulder was just "eh." Overall? Good atmosphere, welcoming staff, and reasonably priced average food.
Stopped in today for lunch. Had the ribs and pulled pork....both phenomenal! Ribs were tender, smoky, flavorful, you really didn't even need sauce. Pulled pork was moist and delicious. Love the fact that this joint is 15 mins away going back for breakfast tomorrow!
Average bbq
Brisket had a great smoke ring but was not that tender. Sausage was average.
Brisket, ribs, and brisket sandwich were all delicious. You gotta try the cheesecake also. It all gets better each time we come by.
Nice brisket and sausage. Portion kid of small for price charged.
Such good BBQ! If you drive through Belton, stop by. It is a must stop driving down I-35.
The mesquite-smoked brisket was well seasoned and tender, and the sliced German sausage was slightly sweet and spicy. But the real winners at this rustic locale, decorated with vintage posters for old cowboy flicks, were the sides. Green beans sprinkled with garlic, onion, and bacon and not-too-chunky potato salad with thinly sliced carrots were a perfect reward for a long day of driving. Opt for a square of cornbread instead of a slice of white bread.

Frazier helps Reds beat Marlins 7-3
Frazier helps Reds beat Marlins 7-3
MIAMI — Todd Frazier had a season-high four hits Sunday, including three on one good foot.
Frazier hobbled after being spiked on his left foot on a play at first base in the third inning, but he stayed in the game to help the Cincinnati Reds break out of an offensive slump and beat the Miami Marlins 7-3.
Afterward, Frazier was smiling even though he said his foot was throbbing. The Reds improved to 5-11 since the All-Star break and scored more than five runs for the first time during that stretch.

Like other forms of fashion, styles of facial hair come and go. Today, beards are back -- and a history museum in Richmond is celebrating by pairing modern-day men with Civil War generals who look something like them in an exhibition called "Beard Wars."
The Show at Richmond's Valentine History Center features photos of union and confederate generals, side by side with members of the RVA Beard League - a philanthropic group that celebrates whiskers.
Lumpkin's jail in Richmond was once the largest slave-trading facility outside of New Orleans. Known as the 'Devil's Half-Acre,' it was sold to a Baptist minister in 1867 in hopes of establishing an all-black seminary…and would soon be referred to 'God's Half-Acre.' That seminary laid the foundation for a school that thrives today - and, along with the conclusion of the Civil War, has just celebrated its 150th anniversary.
When it comes to Civil War history, many people hear about places like Gettysburg and Manassas, but much of the suffering during that war occurred in small towns like Scottsville which - this weekend - will mark the anniversary of a Union invasion and celebrate the fact that the Yankees are NOT coming back.
When Evelyn Edson, president of Scottsville's Museum Board, announced plans to observe the 150th anniversary of General Philip Sheridan's ride through town, some residents were appalled. They figured the coming of the Yankees was nothing to celebrate.
This weekend marks the 150th Anniversary of two history-changing battles fought in the Old Dominion during the Civil War, and there are a number of events scheduled to mark the historic clashes .

Oregon is known for its focus on alternative energy but what many people don't realize, even those who live in oregon, is that virtually all the electricity supplied to the people of Portland is generated at the Boardman coal fired power plant. KBOO's Crystal Alinsky brings us more on the issue from a protest held today at Pioneer Square.

dpHue | hair color made easy
There is a great new beauty resource in LA. Staying pretty and coiffed is getting easier! The new place to solve one of beauty's most expensive conundrums is dpHue. dpHue is a drop-in color bar that makes hair color more accessible and less expensive without compromising on quality. My childhood friend (and very first boyfriend) Justin Anderson is a celebrity colorist to many of the hottest ladies and he developed the product in Italy as the creative director with founder Donna Pohlad. They worked hard to develop this color so that Justin himself would want to use the dpHue color on the likes Miley, Jennifer Aniston, and Ireland Baldwin.
So why do you care about the quality of the dpHue hair color? Good question. The reason it's a big deal is you can color your own hair… with the good stuff. The best part about dpHue is that you can go right in, no appointment necessary, have a free color consultation, get thorough instructions on how to do YOUR hair, and leave with a color kit to take on home and apply yourself. The cost… just $38!
You can also choose to have the dpHue pro colorists do you up if you're too intimidated to do it yourself. It's kind of like Drybar for hair color. The color menu is simplified but good and it's just so much more affordable to keep up with your color here than it is with LA's top colorists. You can do single color process which is a $$$ and time saver for the ladies who have to keep up grey coverage or you can pop in for highlights choosing between face framers ($40), halo highlights ($35), or just the tips $40-60).
Fiore Janel is one of those gals who has to stay on top of her gray coverage so going into the salon every 5 weeks for her roots is annoying and costly. She had a bunch of ombre going on and wanted to lower the contrast and be more solid as well as find a formula she could do at home, quickly and cheaply. So we popped in to dpHue and got a consult and had them do her first application. She's been coloring her own hair ever since. Great idea, great product, great results.

I'm not at school now. But I do post often while working, who doesn't?
No, usually I tell them to sit down, shut up, and color.
And I treat them well.
From our members, what you think of Sandy Hook Gunz............cr****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
I hope we don't get a day in the life .......................... cr*****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
Just insane, got this from my wife this morning, we knew her co-worker had family affected by the school shooting back east, but just got these details, horrifying:
"Sandy told me her niece and nephew from her ex-husbands side of the family
were involved in sandy hook shooting. She learned yesterday the only way her
nephew was able to escape is because gunman stopped to reload after shooting
that one child 11 times. It was that small group of kids that ran to the
firehouse, no one was there, then ran to that mans house I was telling you about
that found them all huddled outside his front door."
Doesn't sound real, still.
Guess we're over it now.
Speak for yourself.
Hahaha! Love it!
So there's this conspiracy theory thing going around about the Sandy Hook shooting. Alot of is backed by a YT clip (below). Something about the shooting being a hoax put on by the government as a way of starting gun control.
Anyone seen it? I haven't watched it, but curious what people think about it. If it's some ploy, some bullshit, or intriguing.
Stupid people need to believe. Alex Jones brainwashing.
Sounds legit.

Thanks for that. Definitely saves me 30 minutes.

In the tradition of Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, comes a poignant memoir about a marriage that was as deep and strong as it was mysterious and complexUpton and Sally Brady were a rare breed: cultivated and elegant, they lived a life of literary glamour and high expectations. Sally a debutante; Upton a classics major from Harvard, they met at the Boston Cotillion. He was articulate, witty, and worldly, and he danced like Fred Astaire. How could she resist? Despite raising four children on Upton's modest wage as the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic Monthly Press, theirs was a world of champagne, sailboats, private islands, famous writers, family rituals, and ice-cold martinis. They lived life on their terms. But as time wore on, Upton, the charming and brilliant husband, the inventive, beguiling partner, grew opinionated, cranky, controlling, and dangerous. When Upton died suddenly one evening in their Vermont cottage, Sally began uncovering secrets. As she went through his papers, she discovered that her husband of forty-six years had desired the love of other men. Her riveting, charismatic husband was not quite the man he appeared to be, and a year of mourning became for Sally a time to unravel the dark and unexpected web he had left behind. Hers is a moving and powerful story of coming to terms with what cannot be changed. It is also a story of great love.
About the Author
SALLY RYDER BRADY, a writer, agent, teacher, and editor, is the author of a highly successful novel, Instar, an illustrated book of adult humor called Sweet Memories, and two books of non-fiction, A Yankee Christmas, Volumes I and II.

Not sure what to think about this Manti Te'o music video. It was released by Notre Dame's athletic department, and it features Pat McKillen singing "Te'O" The main verse says "Offense come and they wanna go home." Honestly, it sounds really good, and this Pat guy is pretty legit. I've never hated Notre Dame, and definitely haven't ever loved them so I guess I'm still kind of in the middle on the video. I guess it's kind of like Duke basketball, you either love them, or hate them. Check out the video yourself below and let me know what you think.

My husband and I use this restaurant on Newton Abbot market days (Wednesdays). It never, ever lets us down. The hardworking, caring staff, the quality of the food and the general atmosphere is ideal for us. Scott, the manager, is a real treasure, working alongside his staff. And if you've never been before, you MUST take a look at the toilets - very different and always spotlessly clean. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

The Strip could use more places like this—handsome but not ostentatious, elegant rooms outfitted with cherrywood furnishings. If you have kids, the place also is a more upscale alternative to Excalibur: family-friendly perks include a kiddie pool and a mini "water park." There's a decent selection of restaurants (including the French institution André's and the trendy Diablo's Cantina), and a slew of casual bars, including The Pub, which boasts a selection of more than 300 beers. There's a handsome pool, and the top floor of the hotel (dubbed "Hotel 32") contains a hotel-within-a-hotel with 50 swanky rooms and suites that overlook the Strip.

Not being one to worry to much about the sound a toilet makes when flushing, just that it does!! the bathrooms were good sized - how much make-up do those broads carry, anyway? - that said - yeah, that beep, beep, beep, was an issue for my guy, so he called the front desk, and without question they changed our room to the strip side, and the noise level was really reduced. the first room had more channels on the t.v. (?) don't know why, but was not
a big deal. lost money on slots ($75.00) and unlike on t.v. the casino wouldn't give it back! huh! go figure!! not a lot of hot bikini babes for my guy to examine at poolside, like on t.v. (we watch too much t.v., anyway)-the river pool was really cool - you just float along - different from a jacuzzi as the water flows over your body - nice!!!didn't come for rooms, but oh, those pillow tops, yea!! our rooms was nice and clean, the staff were accomadating - price was right - got a couple of perk coupons - not bad - only thing - they had shut off our key cards by 9:30am on check out day - if we'd have left the room together we'd of been screwed - all in all, would we book it again?? sure, why not, except vegas is a buffet of hotels - try 'em all - would i avoid this hotel? - no

Was here for the CES show and was surprised to have my cabbie from the airport tell me that I'd be lucky to get any sleep during my stay. Turns out that he wasn't entirely correct, but was onto something. There is a huge construction site next door where they are building a number of mega-properties and one of the mornings I was awakened at 6:00AM to the pounding at the construction site. This is not exactly what I had in mind. The casino itself
was relatively empty, and I'm wondering if that was an indication of a much less than capacity resort. I would stay away from this one unless you remember to bring along your ear plugs - if you don't mind the construction you can probably gain a pretty good deal.

When we booked our room, we were not warned that there is a 24-hour construction project underway next door that causes terrible noise in many of the rooms. The project us being done by the same company that owns the Monte Carlo, which tells you something about the concern they have for the comfort of their guests. We had three different rooms in three nights, and on the third night they tried to put us in another room right next to the construction.
Except for one person, the staff was unapologetic and didn't compensate us for these problems. Stay away!

I just returned from taking matters into my own hand. I did so by exercising my right and privilege to vote as a citizen. I can't remember a time when I didn't understand the importance of voting. As a child, I observed my parents sorting through the various campaign promises and platforms of local, state, and national office seekers. With them, I watched TV coverage of the national conventions and read newspaper and magazine articles about the candidates. I even plastered my bicycle with bumper stickers in support of my choice for president.

When I finally left the office on election night, the election hadn't yet been called in Barack Obama's favor.
The lights in the office were out, traffic on the road was nonexistent, and it was still.
There was no wind, no road noise, just … quiet.
There were few, if any clouds in the sky, and the stars twinkled vividly.
I stood still in front of our door, enjoying the calmness, the quiet, the solitude.

"The kids like to talk about what they're reading," he said.
It all came down to a game of chance.
Less than 24 hours after the polls closed, two women sat in the lobby of the Henry County Clerk's Office waiting to see just which of the pair would go on to serve as the sixth member of the Eminence City Council.
In the end, incumbent Treva Browning lost a coin toss to Elizabeth "LeeAnn" Armstrong, with Armstrong claiming the last seat on the council.

1997 Chevrolet C/K 2500 Series Extended Cab C2500 Cheyenne 2dr Extended Cab SB
I found it this spring in a used private deal and consider myself lucky. It is now about 11 years old with 200,000 km on odometer, with perfect body shape, and pretty good interior. I do not need a 4x4 diesel HD 3/4T (far too expensive to purchase, too large, too tall, higher operating and maintenance costs, etc.), but I do need to be able to pull my 7900# (gross) travel trailer and family safely on the highway. This has a 350 (5.7L) engine, rated to pull a 8000# hitch travel trailer, and has a payload capacity about 2200#, which suits my needs perfect. Too many people overload their 1/2 tons pulling a trailer or buy something far more than they need.
GM comfort and reliability, style, not too high, not too heavy, sufficient interior space and sufficient payload capacity for my trailering needs. GM needs to look at changing some of their new truck lineup to provide replacement vehicles for these strong utility (but not heavy duty) vehicles.
Of course, a 3rd and 4th door on the extended cab, which the new ones all now have, and when you make a decision to own and drive a trailer hauler, you sacrifice fuel cost for your other general use. I am sure that this can be improved in our new age of high fuel costs.

Also, your agent should know your general search max and for each property you see. For example, your general max may be $150k, but the max for the home you saw today is $125k. Not all homes are priced correctly, so your agent should tell you when something is overpriced. Just because you are willing to pay up to a certain amount, doesn't mean you should. That's why you hire an agent.
Finally, a good agent should have strong negotiating skills to make the owner seem like they need your offer vs. you need that house. Good luck!
By the way when it is time to buy partner with a Realtor®. Let them know your dream items and things you would like but that are not deal breakers.Full disclosure is the best way to get the home of your dreams (or a quick reality check) in the shortest amount of time.
I always tell my clients they should have a maximum price they are willing to pay for any particular home. This way when you go into negotiations you won't get caught up in undecisiveness, especially in this market of multiple offers. Know what your limits are.
Another benefit is you have to work together so that you're not shown properties you can't afford, it's a waste of everyones time.
There are no cons in working together.
Good luck!
Your agent is on your team. You should be working together with the same goals. Have an open and frank conversation about the negotiation process. Your agent needs to show you the recent sales comps and discuss the value of the property with you. If you don't feel your agent is on your team, you might want a new agent.
Best of luck,
