We are constantly bombarded with inaccurate, contradictory and sometimes misleading information - until now.
Ben Goldacre masterfully dismantles the dubious science behind some of the great drug trials, court cases, and missed opportunities of our time. He also shows us the fascinating story of how we know what we know, and gives us the tools to uncover bad science for ourselves.
©2008 Ben Goldacre (P)2010 WF Howes Ltd
"Making science truly entertaining"
Ben Goldacre has the rare gift of making things that the media will tell you are boring seem fascinatingly interesting. Bad Science is filled with the clear-minded, witty writing that makes him such a success on the pages of the guardian... and on top of the book being really entertaining, it is hugely educational. Goldacre dismantles everything from antioxidant and fish oil nonsense to the evils of big pharma and shows up Patrick Holford for the quack he is. He does all this without malace and with clear and undisputable evidence. The book is a triumph of the mind in an age of ignorance. If it wasn't for some slightly too smug narration, it would have been frighteningly close to the perfect listen.
"Well written but repetitive"
This book was very factual and most enjoyable in places. The narration was excellent and really captured the authors' passion, which could be misconstrued as arrogant, even pompous. I however found Goldacre's sarcastic delivery of information quite humorous. I would have given four stars but quite a substantial amount of material was repeated unnecessarily and the book could have easily been shorter. Overall, I definitely recommend but it's not a book that I would listen to again.
"Get this book."
It will change the way you look at the world.
Fantastic pace and very entertaining.
"A bit of an eye opener"
In an easy to understand style that never talks down to the reader, Ben Goldacre pokes an big stick into some of the organisations and characters that shape how science is understood outside academic circles. From debunking the use of scientific sounding names in marketing ("now with madeupnameium to make you look younger") to disecting some of the more dubious characters that pollute our media this book analyses the methods used to show how they are as far removed from real science as it is possible to be.
I would challenge any reader not to be horrified by the way in which the MMR scandal was prolonged and fanned by the media, in spite of mounting evidence being presented to show that there was no provable link with autism. And then, noting when this book was written, predicting how the media would then turn on Andrew Wakefield when he was placed before the GMC without ever considering the role they played in whole shameful episode.
This is a great book that opened my eyes to many of the practices that companies and individuals use to make themselves wealthy without ever showing if their product/service/diet etc is effective. Goldacre also delves into the power of placebo and how convenitional medicine if failing to exploit it.
Fantastic listen.
"Best (non-fiction?) book I ever read"
I had to write a review for this book, it's just brilliant. Follow @bengoldacre on Twitter, or read his blog/Guardian articles at badscience.co.uk, and you'll see how realistic and cutting he can be, while warm and funny at the same time. He's a voice of sanity in a world of media (clich?d but quite frankly apt) 'gone mad' - especially around science, a.k.a., evidence. No, I didn't think that until I read the book, though I did have my suspicions from seeing various tabloid headlines!
It hasn't just been made fascinating reading by the content about warped newspaper stories, the laughable doctrine of homeopathy, and the health scares that needn't have existed and have actually eroded the nation's health. It also teaches some bare-bones science lessons which somehow I never got my head round in school (probably because we were trying to reproduce effects that were already certain!) about conducting fair experiments, allowing for and expecting bias, and considering other factors.
This has applied to so much of my life! I think differently and am much more willing to try new things - it's actually made more sense than the cognitive-behavioural therapy books I've read to combat my depression. And as a computer programmer, I've realised I'm constantly creating mini experiments all the time, finding out if my new addition to the code does what I hoped, what else could have made it go wrong, and so on.
Can't recommend this book enough.
Also recommend The Tiger That Wasn't for a similarly accessible and wildly successful attack on the stupid ways we're given statistics, and how they're more often than not interpreted by journalists entirely wrongly. You don't have to be a statistician to make sense of numbers, you just need a basic grip on the subject if you ever want to learn about the world!
Although I understand the view that the author can be seen as condescending I did not find this. I thought he apologised too often for that to be the case. He certainly can get caught up with individuals who have severely crossed the line, it is amusing to hear a doctor be so angry about it, but at the same time it is hugely helpful to understand just how very much some individuals have crossed the line (and shockingly, they truly have) at our expense (I personally have paid, so I have 1st hand experience). This audiobook is well worth time and spend, but do remember to engage your sense of humour at the same time as you engage your brain, you will then enjoy this book all the more.
"Much enjoyed"
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and felt my eyes opened to some specific scandals in the health-food and pharmaceutical industries. My only criticisms are that the topics/chapters are a little repetitive in parts, and that the narration can be somewhat patronising in tone (though I notice some of the reviews on Amazon make this comment about the book itself, so maybe the narrator is being true to the text?!). Anyway, I'd certainly recommend this.
This book really scared me. It opens your eyes to the potential misleading that is inherently baked into the science we believe. Ben goldacre divides opinion - some see him as a anti new age cynic who bangs on about proof and pooh poohs a whole sector of natural health care. I actually found him balanced in his views he is equally sceptical about pharmaceutical industry as he is about alternative health care. Whilst this book is primarily aimed at alternative health care his other book bad pharma really does shine a light on the mistakes through to criminal corruption inherent in the system. His view is proper evidence and transparency with proper regulation is the only way to move forward. I agree and i think Ben would suggest you read the book and make up your own mind.
"A detox for the mind"
Ben Goldacre detests the way in which the media dumb down health and science issues and in so doing cause such negative effects as panic, unwise spending and even death. He covers topics like brain gym, detox treatments, homeopathy, Patrick Holford, placebos and more; all of which one is glad to see exposed to clear scientific light, stripped bare of fuzzy, false and emotive claims. Even the fairly scientific among us can fall prey to the pressures of the media when constantly battered by reports and common assumptions. This book encourages readers to think scientifically, especially before spending their money or becoming hopeful of health or cosmetic transformations (Money is the common motivator for most of the claims made). Although I didn't find the book quite as funny as I had been led to believe I would and occasionally grew tired of the journalistic tone, I am delighted and grateful to have been so entertainingly enlightened. Furthermore I feel better equipped to confront future reports with an objective mind.
Hello Ray
"The most fun science book I've read"
You'll be quoting Ben for weeks after listening to this. It's witty and informative and certainly one of those audio books where you make extra time to just hear a little bit more.
"Great book, better in hard copy"
This fascinating and persuasive book will give you loads of fodder for heated dinner party conversations. But I recommend that you buy the hard copy rather, for two reasons:
- the delivery of the narrator is excessively vehement, overbearing and forceful which doesn't match the tone the book is written in, and makes for painful listening, and
- it's the kind of book that you want to refer back to to verify a statistic or clarify a point, which is one of the rare occasions when I'd rather have a paper book than an audio book.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. It's just that I'll be buying several hard copies for myself and for general dishing out.
"Great content, engaging narration"
Dr. Goldacre leads us through a masterful educational experience that should vastly improve the scientific media literacy of any layperson listening to this book. More importantly, he blends this grave and potentially depressing content with a sense of humour that makes it not just bearable, but delightful!
I'm glad I wasn't dissuaded from listening to this by the reviews describing the narration as terrible, because I found the delivery delightful, and a perfect match for Goldacre's charming sarcastic tone.
I seldom have so much fun listening to accounts of terrible betrayals of the public trust.
"Good content, painful narrator"
I'm a skeptic at heart, so I enjoy this book. And I do think that as long as I wasn't a died-in-the-wool believer of some sort, but not necessarily a skeptic, I would get a lot out of this. It's absolutely amazing when you realize how much rubbish is successfully peddled these days and the more books we have with a solid basis in science instead of the next quick-fix diet, longevity potion, cancer cure etc, the better it is IMO. Only thing that I find quite trying listening to this is the narrator. Whatever sample they make available, have a listen and think if you can endure this for several hours... If I was more neutral about him, I'd definitely give this book a 4 or 5 star.
Ben Goldacre draws us into his world of science. His quest is to have you, the reader, able to identify bad science. A fine introduction to scientific method. Uses relevant examples, like the MMR vaccine scare. Rupert Farley has a pleasant narrating style. I really enjoyed this book.
"important topic, chaotic drama, worst narrator"
The topic is important and the autor competent. The narrator wants to act, but he is the worst actor: tries to mock voices and exagerates the tones.
This is a comprehensive black book of the health and beauty industry. Not that it shows every single case but it rehears most of the mechanisms
I will eat more vegetables and fruits and no vitamine pilles, because its the only real thing
"Probably better in print"
I suspect the print version would be much better as the narration style is poorly suited to the material.
Wrong for this

WESTON-MCEWEN — Weston-McEwen used crisp passing and solid serving to net a straight-set win against Enterprise Thursday, 25-12, 25-9, 25-12.
The TigerScots passed the ball at a 94 percent clip, head coach Shawn White said.
"Our passers and our defense kept the ball in play so we did control the match all night," White said. "We were able to run our offense. It was great. It was a lot of fun."
Natalie Arnold did a little bit of everything for Weston-McEwen, as she went 19-of-20 serving with seven aces and added nine digs. Danni Dearing also had success at the service line, finishing 16-of-17 with three aces.
White said the pair's serving ability was a big reason the TigerScots cruised to an easy win.
"Natalie had a great night," White said. "She and Danni have just been putting up great numbers serving all season. Natalie just continues to improve and get better and better."
Molly von Borstel put down 17 kills and Taryn Coffman also dished out 28 assists for Weston-McEwen.
The TigerScots head to Pilot Rock Saturday for matches with Heppner and Pilot Rock.

The 10 Best Taylor Swift Moments at the 2014 GrammysPaul Rosales at Yahoo Music 1 yr ago
At age 24, Taylor Swift is already a seasoned veteran of the awards show trail. And whenever she shows up, she finds a way to make herself the center of attention. At the 2014 Grammys however, Taylor outdid herself, dancing, mugging, and head-banging her way to GIF immortality.
The highlight of the all-Taylor evening came about 2/3 of the way through her performance of her song, "All Too Well" when, apparently overcome with the emotion of her break-up ballad, the singer suddenly fell backwards and lunged forwards, her hair flying over her head as she treated the world to a decidedly un-Swiftian head-bang.
The union of country and metal was complete, and the internet instantly exploded as a million Tweeters and Tumblrs immediately posted and re-posted the moment.
Here then were the greatest Taylor-iffic moments from Swift's big night.
1. The Head Bang That Shook the World.
2. Taylor kicked off the night on the red carpet with a very on point re-enactment of her attack by the Jennifer Lawrence monster from the Golden Globes.
3. This tweet!
4. Front and center, Taylor took her dance game to new levels.
6. Kendrick Lamar gets Taylor moving!

10 Stars Get Animated at TrevorLIVEPaul Rosales at Yahoo Music 2 yrs ago
The 15th annual TrevorLIVE benefit, hosted by The Trevor Project, brought a slew of star power to the Hollywood Palladium Sunday night ... and we were backstage in the Purple Room to GIF it all.
The Trevor Project focuses on suicide prevention among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. Stars including Adam Lambert, Fergie, Josh Duhamel, and Jane Lynch came together to help raise funds for the worthy cause.
These are just some of our favorite animated portraits of the night -- go to our Tumblr for more coverage from the fun-filled night.
Darren Criss Darren starts us off with a wonderfully crafted bit as he burps up a TrevorLIVE thought bubble.
Jenna Ushkowitz Jenna gives us an enthusiastic cheer.
Adam Lambert Before he performed "What Do You Want From Me," Adam plays hide and seek backstage.
TrevorLIVE Honorees Left to Right: Jordan Scruggs, friend, and Adam White get into the groove.
Fergie and Josh Duhamel Josh bursts out his bubble and sends wife Fergie into a surprised shock.
Harry Shum, Jr. Harry's got the right idea, "Be proud of who you are."
Too Funny: Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman Replace Mumford & Sons In New VideoPaul Rosales at Stop The Presses! 2 yrs ago
Viewers may notice Mumford & Sons look a little off in their latest video for "Hopeless Wanderer." That's because the band has been replaced by none other that some of our favorite comedic actors Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms, Will Forte and Forte's scraggly Amish beard for a light-hearted parody of the Grammy-winning band in their most recent official video.
In its first few moments, the music video for Mumford and Sons' "Hopeless Wanderer" has all the qualities you've come to expect from the roots revival group: vested outfits, lens flare, and a green field backdrop. And about a minute into the clip, the flagrant use of these idiosyncrasies goes overboard with images of twisted boots walking along a dirt road and way too many stringed instruments slung around the band's shoulders.
The camera cuts away to reveal the group, but that's not Marcus Mumford -- it's Jason Sudeikis playing the band leader, accompanied by fellow actors Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, and Will Forte.
Watch the entire video below:
Five Songs to Stream: Capital Cities
Get ready to bob your head along to the electro-pop sounds of Capital Cities. The duo, comprised of Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian, met after Simonian posted an ad on Craigslist for production work and Merchant responded. Eventually, Merchant brought Simonian over to a jingle house where the two composed music for advertising and commercial use.
Moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles to pursue a new act, Capital Cities signed to Capitol Records to debut a new full-length release in 2013. Listen to some of our favorite selections and watch them perform live for Yahoo! On the Road in Seattle on May 26.
"Safe and Sound" -- It's a fact: that trumpet line was made to bury itself in your head. How long can you go without humming it.
"Postcards" -- Capital Cities collaborates with New York's electro duo, Napoleon, to create a jingle perfect for catching sunrays.
"Patience Gets Us Nowhere Fast" -- This tune seems to sparkle and ooze bright neon.
"Center Stage" -- Heavy on the disco and supremely smooth.

Five Songs to Stream: Willy Moon
Who would have known that a brilliant music career could be started on MySpace, even in 2010? That's the story of Willy Moon, a New Zealand artist now based in London.
Shortly after Moon uploaded his first song on the social network, the soon-to-be pop star accepted a deal from Island Records. In 2012, his lead single "Yeah Yeah" was featured on the commercial for Apple's lineup of new iPod products and he recorded at Jack White's Third Man studio. Listen to a few songs from his brand new debut "Here's Willy Moon," before he opens the Yahoo! On the Road concert in Seattle on May 26.
"Get Up (What You Need)" -- It's like 1991 all over again with the album opener's rhythms.
"Yeah Yeah" -- Moon explodes out of this single-turned-Apple-commercial.
"I Wanna Be Your Man" -- The rhythm and blues influence is quite apparent on this updated take of the traditional genre.
"My Girl" -- Time travel with this number: 1954 via 2013.
"She Loves Me" -- Moon's mutated pop is full of glitches and it ends in under two minutes.

The Aussie group is also on a North American tour in support of its premiere album. Check out some of our favorite tracks, and watch Gold Fields perform live in Dallas, May 20. Follow Yahoo! On the Road for tour updates and the full schedule.
Happy Boy -- A fantastic introductory track for new listeners, Gold Fields fills "Happy Boy" with lush atmospheres set to cruise control.
Thunder -- The tempo remains steady on this incredibly catchy tune and a quick percussive bridge unleashes a frenzied boogie back into the chorus.
Treehouse -- Gold Fields' new wave daydream is forever romantic, getting those butterflies in your stomach rumbling and blood pumping.
Closest I Could Get -- With a thumping bass line and endearing vocals, "Closest I Could Get" sounds like it could have come right out of the 1980s.

In 1995, hip-hop icons Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre filmed the music video for "California Love" in Kendrick Lamar's hometown, the city of Compton. Today, Dr. Dre has played a crucial role in Lamar's professional career, even dubbing the up-and-coming rapper as the "New King of the West Coast."

On the Road's Cincinnati stop on tonight. Watch the concert live right now. Take a look at more Yahoo! On the Road tour artists, locations, and dates.
Poetic Justice -- A sultry beat holds together the slow-jam collaboration between Lamar and fellow chart topper Drake.

Five Songs to Stream: Ryan Leslie
Singer-songwriter and producer Ryan Leslie has built a following over the past decade. Graduating from Harvard University at 19, Leslie decided to pursue a career in music rather than his program of study, political science and macroeconomics. Catch up with five songs from Leslie's repertoire ahead of his Yahoo! On the Road performance on May 3 with John Legend.
Beautiful Lie -- The broken drum loop and catchy keyboard lines highlight Leslie's production skills in "Beautiful Lie," erupting in a crescendo with the titular chorus.
So Forgetful -- The contrast of Lloyd Banks' smoky flow and Leslie's uplifting melodies makes for a radio-friendly hit.
The Black Flag -- Funky and full of soul, Leslie slows down the tempo with his personal experiences in "The Black Flag."
Dress to Undress You -- Showcasing his piano talent, Leslie turns this ballad into a groovy, sensual jam.

Plaintiffs want to withdraw proposed settlement in lawsuit against insurers
A proposed settlement in a federal anti-trust lawsuit has no value to insurance premium payers, the plaintiffs said Friday in a motion seeking to withdraw the proposed settlement.
Royal Mile Co., a Whitehall property management company, Cole's Wexford Hotel Inc. in Pine and an individual premium payer contend in the lawsuit that Highmark Inc. and UPMC have conspired to keep other health insurers out of Western Pennsylvania so that Highmark can charge higher premiums.
Highmark Inc. was already committed to reintroducing a lower-cost insurance plan called Community Blue insurance plan, so the settlement will not benefit them, the plaintiffs said. The proposed settlement wouldn't reduce premiums or provide refunds.
U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti on Friday gave Highmark 10 days to respond.
Highmark spokesman Aaron Billger said the company will do so. "We do stand behind our offer and do believe their interpretation is flawed and inaccurate," he said.
In addition to reintroducing the lower-cost insurance plan, Highmark agreed to help the plaintiffs pursue their claims against UPMC and set aside $4.5 million to pay for the settlement plus $300,000 to advertise it.
In court documents filed this week, UPMC argued that the settlement was a sham with no value to premium payers. The agreement would allow Highmark to avoid paying damages for its "unilateral" anti-trust behavior while using the lawsuit to pursue a grudge against UPMC.
The plaintiffs, in their motion to drop the proposed settlement, say that one of the documents UPMC filed under seal makes it clear that Highmark, before the settlement, had already committed to bringing Community Blue back. They also say the insurer hasn't provided the help it was supposed to under the settlement.

Dukan + SP = weight loss and a very healthy change in lifestyle if used properly.
If you're looking to review past or future diet strategies w/out reseting your current SP Stage, simply search for the Stage using SP's search function. The overview is usually the first result,& once you click on that, you can click on any strategy that interests you- all are listed in the overview
I was doing very well with SP a while back but due to circumstances I let things slide. It took a while but now I'm back on track because I make sure to log in every day. I track my food and exercise faithfully. And I have been getting great support from my fellow SP team mates. 224
I could never do a diet diary until I decided to make my weight loss journey something I could share and inspire others with. So I started typing everything every day...how I felt, what I ate, what recipes I found. It motivated me to think I might help someone else one day who feels fat and hopeless. I feel so much more empowered and I am becoming my own weight loss expert! 58

Disbarred Sarasota attorney imprisoned for stealing from clients
Published: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 6:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 6:52 p.m.
SARASOTA - Disbarred attorney Scott Schieb was sentenced to nearly five years in prison Thursday and will have to pay at least $250,000 to reimburse clients for personal injury settlements he stole from them.
Schieb, 55, will pay back the thefts over 10 years, said prosecuting attorney Erika Quartermaine. Schieb forged clients' signatures and took between $10,000 and $50,000 in settlement checks from each client. He was sentenced for eight counts of grand theft Thursday.
Schieb stole settlements from eight clients who were all injured in car accidents from 2005 to 2008. The clients' injuries ranged from whiplash to a debilitating back injury, Quartermaine said. Schieb gave up his license to practice law in 2011 after the Florida Bar found him guilty of misappropriating more than $200,000.
"This is a sad case for all of the victims, and the defendant's family," Quartermaine said.
Schieb lost his home this month after US Bank won a $1.13 million foreclosure judgment against him. Shieb bought the land in 1992 and built the house two years later.
Schieb borrowed the money in April 2004 against his 4,234-square-foot house in the 2900 block of Dick Wilson Drive in the Laurel Oaks neighborhood of Sarasota.
The Sarasota County Clerk of Court held an auction to sell the house on Dec. 11.

I norrmally change lenses.
Lets think about this. What do the condensors do? They focus the light onto the negative. With the enlarger setup for 6x6 the light is focused to 6x6. Most of that should just be hitting the negative carrier with 35mm.
The only thing I can suggest is put the lens cap on the lens and turn the enlarger on. Do you still see the image? If you do then you've got some sort of leak.
I don't have a 40mm to test here but I just tried 35mm with the enlarger set for 6x6. Nothing I could see.

Flatbed Tow Truck Pivoting Platform Assembly And Method Of Use - Patent 8152435The present disclosure generally relates to an apparatus and method for a transporting vehicles and other similar sized objects. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a vehicle carrier utilizing a pair of sliding interfacesinteracting with a pivot arm to drive a carrier body between a loading configuration and a transport configuration.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to provide an apparatus for transporting large objects such as vehicles. Vehicle transport systems, commonly referred to as tow trucks, have been evolving in parallel with the automobile. There are severalclassifications of towing equipment, including a boom, a hook and chain, a wheel-lift, a flatbed, and an integrated system. A boom is generally utilized for recovering vehicles that are in a ditch, culvert, over an embankment, or any place the vehicle cannot be safely backed-up to. A boom may or may not be used for towing a recovered vehicle. A hook and chain, also known as a "sling" or "belt lift", loops chains around the vehicle frame or axle, which is drawn aloft by a boom winch to rest against a pair of heavy rubberized mats so the customer's vehicle can be towed on its otheraxle. In today's environment, the use of slings is very limited, as they are known to scratch bumpers of cars. They are generally used for towing vehicles that have been in an accident or have one or two of the front or rear wheels missing or forpickup trucks and other vehicles that have steel bumpers A wheel-lift evolved from the hook and chain technology, utilizing a large metal yoke that is fitted under the front or rear wheels to cradle them. The wheel-lift raises the front or rear end of the vehicle off the ground by a pneumatic orhydraulic hoist so it can be towed. This apparatus generally picks up the drive wheels of the vehicle (i.e. the front wheels if it is front wheel drive, the rear wheels if it is rear wheel drive). The lift only touches the tires, limiting any rView doc
Double Infeed Stacking Table With Centering And Method For Transferring Stacks To A Gripper With An Infeed Station Of This Type - Patent 81524341. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an infeed station of a stack palletizing system, with a stack feeder, a first and second chamber, which can each receive stacks from the stack feeder, first conveying means assigned to the first chamber andsecond conveying means assigned to the second chamber, with which stacks are conveyed in the chambers and can be transferred to a stack gripper, and first centering means for centering the stacks in the first chamber and second centering means forcentering the stacks in the second chamber. 2. Description of the Related Art A prior-art infeed station of this type is disclosed by EP 1 801 047 A. In the cited document, the station is referred to as a transfer unit and has a displacement unit, on which a carriage is mounted in such a way that it can be displacedhorizontally and transversely to the direction of conveyance. Two placement means are provided. They are arranged side by side and support one stack each. In the present case, these placement means are conveyor belts. Two stacks located on the twoplacement means of the infeed station (or transfer unit, as it is referred to in the cited document) are seized with a stack gripper and set down on a pallet. To process stacks that are relatively wide, the infeed station must be constructedcorrespondingly wide, but this is a disadvantage with respect to the amount of space that it requires and with respect to the manufacturing costs. Adaptation to different formats is thus possible only with a comparatively wide infeed station.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to create an infeed station of the type described above, with which stacks of greatly varying width can be transferred to a stack gripper but which nevertheless can be constructed relatively narrow. In accordance with the invention this problem is solved by the fact that third conveying means are arranged between the first and second conveying means and that the first and sView doc
Hay Bale Collection And Stacking System - Patent 8152429The present invention relates to an improved system for collecting and stacking round hay bales on a flat bed trailer, particularly for use in agricultural applications such as farming or the like.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is common practice to transport hay and other agricultural products from one location to another as needed. Hay is usually baled into large cylindrical bales secured with twine that will often weigh several hundred kilograms depending on itssize and moisture content. It is well known that moving these bales with purely manual labor is very difficult and as a result a mechanical apparatus to retrieve, transport and unload these most hay bales is required. In the past, the collection and stacking of hay bales is typically achieved with the use of various lifting and transporting equipment and the simultaneous work of at least two operators. For example, when collecting round hay bales in a field,one operator may drive a tractor with an attached flat bed trailer and a second operator will follow with a forklift or other appropriate lifting equipment. The first tractor moves the flatbed trailer close to one or more hay bale(s), pausing to let theforklift or other appropriate lifting equipment stack the hay bale(s) on the flatbed trailer. This method for the collection and stacking of hay bales is undesirable as it requires the labor of two operators and requires two pieces farm equipment. Alternatively, farmers may choose to collect and stack hay bales with a single towing system. In this case, the farmer will typically tow a flat bed trailer with a tractor having a front-end forklift or other appropriate lifting device. Thismethod requires the operator to sequentially stop at select areas in the fields, manually disconnect the trailer, use the forklift to load and stack nearby bale(s) onto the flat bed trailer and then reconnect the flat bed trailer before continuing to thenext area where a number of bales may be located. While this colView doc
Three Hopper Charging Installation For A Shaft Furnace - Patent 8152430OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to the field of charging installations for shaft furnaces such as blast furnaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to a three hopper charging installation for a shaft furnace.BRIEF DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART BELL LESS TOP charging installations have found widespread use in blast furnaces around the world. They commonly comprise a rotary distribution device equipped with a rotatable distribution member, e.g. a distribution chute which is rotatableabout the vertical central axis of the furnace and pivotable about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the central axis. So called "parallel hopper top" installations comprise multiple hoppers arranged in parallel above the rotary distribution device forintermediate storage of bulk material to be fed to the distribution device. These installations allow quasi-continuous charging of bulk material, since one hopper can be (re)filled whilst another previously filled hopper is being emptied to feed thedistribution device. In order to connect the hoppers to the rotary distribution device, such "parallel hopper top" installations commonly have a valve housing arranged between the parallel hoppers and the distribution device. Such a valve housing has a top partwith a respective inlet for each hopper. For each hopper a respective sealing valve is provided for isolating each hopper respectively from the inner atmosphere of the shaft furnace by means of a flap which is pivotable between a closed sealing positionand an open parking position. The valve housing normally has a funnel shaped bottom part with an outlet communicating with the distribution device. Depending on the complexity of the charging program, a BELL LESS TOP charging installation with three parallel hoppers is required to achieve the targeted production of pig iron per day. In order to minimize idle time when changing the feedinghopper and in order to allow simultaneous feeding from two hopView doc
Loader Vehicle Having A Lift Arm - Patent 8152433The present invention relates to a loader vehicle having a lift arm and a working implement to be raised and lowered. U.S. Pat. No. 5,609,464 discloses a loader vehicle having a bucket at an end of a lift arm to be raised substantially vertically. The lift arm is connected to a vehicle frame through a control arm at the front side, a lift link at the rearside, and a cylinder. U.S. Pat. No. 5,169,278 discloses a loader vehicle with a similar basic structure. However, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,609,464, the connecting position of the cylinder to the vehicle frame is located rearward of the rear wheel and lower than the top end of the real wheel. Therefore, it is required that the space rearward of therear wheel is widely ensured for region for pivoting movement of the cylinder. As a result, other parts are not provided at the rear space of the rear wheel thereby wasting the space. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,169,278, the space rearward of the rear wheelis wasted, similarly. The present invention is directed to a loader vehicle which effectively uses a rear space thereof.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a loader vehicle includes a main frame, a lift arm, and a lift cylinder. The lift arm is connected to the main frame. A working implement is attached to the lift arm at the front end thereof. The liftcylinder is connected to the lift arm and the main frame. The lift cylinder includes a piston, a piston rod fixed to the piston, and a cylinder tube. The piston rod is connected to the main frame. The cylinder tube has a bottom portion and a side wallportion. The cylinder tube is connected to the lift arm so as to form a connecting portion. The connecting portion is provided at the side wall portion of the cylinder tube. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The features of the present invention that are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention together with objects and advantages thereof, mayView doc
Stocking System - Patent 81524311. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to a stocking system for loading and unloading cassettes containing substrates and, more particularly, to a stocking system having improved mechanisms to store and transfer cassettes. 2. Discussion of the Related Art A stocking system is a storage system to handle work pieces, and is generally used in manufacturing lines for liquid crystal display (LCD) devices. LCD devices are used in clocks, calculators, monitors of personal computers, notebooks, aviation instruments, and portable personal appliances. A typical liquid crystal display panel of the LCD device includes a TFT (thin-film transistor) arraysubstrate and a color-filter array substrate coupled together at a constant cell gap and a liquid crystal material filled in the cell gap between the two substrates. Manufacturing processes of the liquid crystal display device may be generally divided into array, cell, and module processes. A glass substrate is the most commonly utilized substrate for the liquid crystal display panel. The glass substrate is loaded in a box, commonly called as a cassette, and transported to manufacturing equipment for individual processes. Theglass substrates of the liquid crystal display panels may be transported or returned in sequence or in a group from one manufacturing apparatus to another in the manufacturing processes. The stocking system is a system that loads, stores, and unloads a plurality of the cassettes containing substrates manufactured in a unit process or cassettes containing substrates to be supplied to a unit process. FIG. 1 is a schematic top view illustrating a stoker system according to the related art. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the related art stocking system 10 comprises a first shelf line 11 storing a plurality of cassettes, a second shelf line 12 parallel to the first shelf line 11 at a designated interval, and an automated crane 13 locatedbetween the first shelf line 11 and second shelf liView doc
Work Machine And Unloading System For Unloading An Agricultural Product From A Work Machine - Patent 8147176The present invention relates to a work machine, and, more particularly, to an unloading system for unloading an agricultural product from a work machine.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Agricultural work machines, such as combines, are employed in the agricultural industry for various tasks, including harvesting crops. During harvesting operations, typical such agricultural work machines move through a crop field whileoperating a header at the front of the work machine to cut the crop. Once cut, the agricultural product, e.g., grain, is removed from the non-grain crop materials by threshing, separating and cleaning assemblies on the work machine, and then transferredto the work machine's hopper for temporary storage. At various times during harvesting operations, such as when the work machine's hopper is full, the operator of the work machine will unload the agricultural product from the work machine using a cantilevered unloading system that is mounted onthe work machine. Typically, the agricultural product is unloaded via the unloading system into a recipient device, such as the trailer of a tractor-trailer or a mobile hopper wagon, e.g., tractor pulled, which delivers the agricultural product to astorage facility or another transport system. At times, the recipient device may travel beside the work machine during simultaneous harvesting and unloading operations. It is desirable that the reach of the unloading system extends beyond the width of the header, for example, so that the agricultural product may be conveniently delivered to the recipient device without undue maneuvering of the work machine orrecipient, and to reduce the need for a tractor trailer to drive directly onto the field being farmed, which may result in undesirable soil compaction. In order to improve farming efficiency, the width of modern header units are increasing. However, extending the reach of the unloading system to compensate for the increased width of the header may result in negativView doc
Stacker Cart - Patent 8147175This invention relates to electrophotographic marking systems and, more specifically, to paper stacker carts used in such systems.CROSS REFERENCE Illustrated and disclosed in a co-pending application (U.S. application Ser. No. 12/209,287, filed Sep. 12, 2008) owned by the present assignee is an application relating to a tilting pivot plate useful in lifting a paper stack from a markingmachine. The application based upon U.S. application Ser. No. 12/209,287, filed Sep. 12, 2008 is filed in the U.S. Pat. and Trademark Office on the same date as the present application based upon U.S. application Ser. No. 12/209,287, filed Sep.12, 2008. The disclosure of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/209,287, filed Sep. 12, 2008 is totally incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND While the present invention can be effectively used in a plurality of paper-handling or marking systems, it will be described for clarity as used in finisher modules of electrostatic marking systems such as electrophotography. In anelectrostatographic reproducing apparatus commonly used today, a photoconductive insulating member may be charged to a negative potential, thereafter exposed to a light image of an original document to be reproduced. The exposure discharges thephotoconductive insulating surface in exposed or background areas and creates an electrostatic latent image on the member which corresponds to the image areas contained within the original document. Subsequently, the electrostatic latent image on thephotoconductive insulating surface is made visible by developing the image with a developing powder referred to in the art as toner. During development, the toner particles are attracted from the carrier particles by the charge pattern of the imageareas on the photoconductive insulating area to form a powder image on the photoconductive insulating area to form a powder image on the photoconductive area. This image may be subsequently transferred or marked onto a support surfaceView doc
Integrated Tray Converter - Patent 81421331. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to mail sorting systems and, more particularly, to a method and system for converting mail between trays in a multiple pass mail sorting system. 2. Discussion of the Related Art Currently, a variety of automated systems are used to sort flats mail. These automated mail sorting systems reduce cost and increase efficiency. The cost is reduced in automated mail systems by the use of less floor space and less manpower. The efficiency is increased because the time and space required to sort the mail in an automated system is much less than when sorting is performed manually. Some automated mail sorting systems require more than one pass and more than one type of trayin order to sort the mail into a desired sequence, such as carrier route. One of the biggest issues with multiple pass sorting systems is transferring mail back to the input of the sorting system after the first pass (or any pass other than the finalpass). Another issue can be the need for multiple, separate systems for feeding the mail back into the sorter or sending mail to dispatch. This can lead to the use of more floor space and all but one of the systems will always not be in use (e.g., whenmail is being sent to dispatch the system for sending mail to the sorting system will not be used and visa-versa). One solution to transferring mail between passes is to use a system that would unload the mail from one tray and place it directly into another. This system does a one-to-one transfer (e.g., mail from the first tray goes directly into thesecond tray). A one-to-one transfer hurts efficiency, especially in systems where the various types of trays used have different maximum capacities. The efficiency is hurt firstly by the fact that if a tray is only partially filled then the transfersystem will still transfer the mail to the next tray without trying to create a larger stack to fill the next tray (e.g., if the first tray has oneView doc
Safety Cone Placing Device And Method - Patent 8142130The present invention relates generally to road safety. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device and method for automatically placing safety cones from a moving vehicle to areas where it is necessary to alert or divertvehicles, watercrafts, aircrafts or pedestrians.BACKGROUND Traffic or safety cones are routinely used to direct motorists and pedestrians away from obstacles or dangerous areas. Safety cones are usually brightly colored, hollow conical shaped devices made of a synthetic, rubber or other plastic (Seefor example U.S. Pat. No. 2,333,273 to Scanlon et al.). Commonly, safety cones are placed by an individual who is manually delivering and/or placing these cones to a particular place on, for instance, but not limited to, a freeway, a road, a street,an intersection, or the like. In other cases, a vehicle can take an individual to a particular place, however it is still the individual that needs to place the safety cones by hand once the vehicle has arrived at that particular place. This task islabor-intensive, slow and could easily result in chronic back-injuries in those individuals who perform such a task routinely. Automation of this task would be preferred. However, with the current safety cones, being fairly rigid and having a tendencyto easily fall over, placing the cones to a particular place in an automatic fashion from a moving vehicle would not be practical. Therefore, previous attempts of cone delivery or placing devices have not been successful. Furthermore, if such anautomation would take place with the current fairly rigid safety cones, and since some or most of these cones would not able to maintain their upright position, the fallen cones need to be re-placed to their upright position by an individual so thatthese cones can be useful to the public as safety cones. Accordingly, there is first a need for improved safety cones or marker devices to enable automatic placement from a moving vehicle. Second there isView doc
Clamping Apparatus - Patent 81421311. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a clamping apparatus for use in releasably grasping a load to be lifted from two or more sides. It also relates to an adjustable bushing suitable for slidably supporting a translating member, such as a clamping arm ofa clamping apparatus. 2. Description of the Related Art Various clamping apparatuses have been developed for use in lifting loads. Among these clamping apparatuses are ones having a plurality of clamping arms which can releasably grasp a load to be lifted from multiple sides. In some cases, theclamping arms pivot between an open and closed position. In other cases, the clamping arms translate without pivoting along a linear or other path between an open and closed position. With a clamping apparatus of the type in which clamping arms translate without pivoting, bearings for supporting the clamping arms can wear out over time, and when such wear occurs, it is difficult to guide the clamping arms in a stable manner. With a clamping apparatus of the type in which the clamping arms pivot between an open and closed position, the angle with respect to the vertical of the contact portions of the clamping arms which contact a load to be lifted may varysignificantly as the clamping arms pivot. Therefore, when the clamping apparatus is used to grasp loads having different dimensions, it is difficult to maintain a suitable angle of the contact portions for all of the loads.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a clamping apparatus having improved operability for grasping a load from multiple sides. The present invention additionally provides a connector for use in connecting a clamping apparatus to a lift truck or other support member. The present invention also provides a bushing arrangement for slidably guiding a translating member, such as a clamping arm of a clamping apparatus. A clamping apparatus according to the present invention will typically have at least two clamping arms so aView doc
Method And Apparatus For Feeding Items Of Laundry To A Laundry Treatment Device, In Particular A Mangle - Patent 8142129STATEMENT OF RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is based on and claims the benefit under 35 USC 119 of German Patent Application No. 10 2007 048 051.4 having a filing date of 5 Oct. 2007 and German Patent Application No. 10 2008 021 810.3 having a filing date of 30 Apr. 2008, both of which are incorporated herein in their entireties by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field The invention relates to a method for feeding items of laundry to a laundry treatment device, in particular a mangle, with the respective item of laundry being transferred from a conveying device to spreading clips of a spreading device and theitem of laundry being spread out by the spreading device for further transportation of a spread-out item of laundry from a feed conveyor to the laundry treatment device. The invention also relates to an apparatus for feeding items of laundry to alaundry treatment device, such as a mangle, having a feed conveyor, a spreading device, which is arranged upstream of the said feed conveyor, for spreading out the item of laundry by stretching a front edge of the said item of laundry, with the spreadingdevice having at least two spreading clips for holding opposite corners of the front edge of the item of laundry, and having a conveying device, which has movable transporting clips, for transporting an item of laundry, which is held at the corners whichbound the front edge, to the spreading clips of the spreading device. 2. Related Art In industrial laundries, items of laundry are spread out by a so-called insertion machine and thus fed to or inserted into a downstream laundry machine, in particular a mangle. The insertion machine has a spreading device with at least twospreading clips, which can be moved transverse to the feed direction, and a feed conveyor. The spreading clips of the spreading device spread out the item of laundry by stretching a front edge of the said item of laundry. The stretched item of laundryis then passed frView doc
Automatic Over-center System - Patent 8142132The present invention relates to a control circuit for assisting operator effected storage of a hydraulically operated articulated work arm into an "over-center" storage position. By permitting simplified operation of the work arm into thestorage position, the functionality of the apparatus is increased.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Mobile construction equipment such as tractors outfitted with a hydraulically operated articulated work arm carrying any one of a variety of attachments are used for a wide variety of applications. In particular, they are critical machines inthe construction of buildings, transportation channels, and almost any other man-made structure. A practical matter involves the transport of such equipment--such as, for example, a backhoe--between the physical locations where it will be used. If theequipment is driven to the desired location over roadways, difficulties associated with the weight distribution of the equipment often arise. In particular, the overhanging, leveraged weight of the backhoe linkage assembly increases the difficulty ofcontrolling the equipment during transportation. The distribution of weight of the backhoe linkage assembly can affect equipment weight balance sufficiently that the weight remaining on the front wheels is lessened and steering control and ride comfortmay be compromised. A common approach to dealing with the undesirable weight distribution of this type of construction equipment is to add weight to the front of the machine to counter the weight of the backhoe linkage assembly. However, this solution isundesirable for several reasons. The additional weight causes the equipment to become more difficult to maneuver, especially in soft ground, more difficult to steer, and more clumsy to operate. In addition, fuel consumption is increased and theequipment cost effectiveness is decreased. A more desirable solution to the problem of weight distribution has been to move the backhoe linkage assembly into a storView doc
Transportable Bin Or Like Object - Patent 8142134This invention is in the field of transporting large objects such as bins, tanks, and the like, and in particular transporting such objects in a horizontal orientation and then setting the object up in a vertical orientation at a work site.BACKGROUND In many industries it is required to set up an array of equipment at a temporary work site, and then disassemble the installation, move it to another work site, and re-assemble it. For example asphalt and concrete plants are often set up inlocations where large quantities of material are required for road or building construction. Similarly well drilling rigs, such as those drilling for oil and gas, are set up at a drilling location, then taken down and moved to a different drillinglocation. These portable plants and rigs typically include various tanks, bins, silos, and the like for water, asphalt, sand, cement, and other materials such as might be required at any particular work site. These are transported to the work site, oftenin a lowered horizontal transport orientation, and then raised to a vertical working orientation at the work site. For example bins containing dry material especially are often elongated vertically when in a working position to maximize the quantity ofmaterial stored above a hoppered bottom such that the dry material will flow out by gravity. This vertical orientation also reduces the ground area, or footprint, occupied by the installation. For example in well drilling installations it is necessary to have a number of different materials located in proximity to the well beingdrilled, and the vertical orientation of tanks and bins facilitates such proximity. In other installations it may also be desirable to minimize the area occupied. Bins and tanks are typically carried by flat bed trucks or trailers to the work site. The trailer is maneuvered into position, and then the bin is raised from the horizontal transport position to a vertical working position resting on theground, and the tView doc
Wafer Processing System With Dual Wafer Robots Capable Of Asynchronous Motion - Patent 8137048The present invention relates to the field of wafer handling and transfer systems used in semiconductor manufacturing.BACKGROUND In semiconductor processing systems, particularly those operating under high vacuum conditions, semiconductor wafers must be transferred into and out of process modules where steps in the manufacturing process take place. Since the cost ofwafer processing is dependent on the throughput of the system, it is imperative that wafers be removed from each process module as soon as each module has completed processing the wafer which was loaded into it. Such transfers to/from processing modulesare performed by so-called transfer robots. Conventional transfer robots were typically designed to transfer only one wafer at a time, or to transfer two wafers at a time but only simultaneously (i.e., not asynchronously). Typically a number of process modules are mounted around theperimeter of a transfer chamber containing a transfer robot. Hence, for enhanced system throughput, it is common to configure the transfer robot to be capable of transferring wafers into process modules at fixed relative orientations to each other(e.g., side-by-side, or at 180.degree. separation around the transfer chamber perimeter). FIG. 39 is adapted from U.S. Pat. No. 5,993,141, and shows a conventional dual wafer robot 3910, which is limited to wafer handling within a single plane. In the following description, let x represent either a or b in FIG. 39. Linear track,section 3912x is pivotally mounted to a rotatable stage 3914 by pivot pin 3916x.

About Bellmawr, NJ
Bellmawr is a Borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough population was 11,583. Bellmawr was incorporated as a borough on March 23, 1926, from portions of the now-defunct Centre Township, based on the results of a referendum held on April 21, 1926. The boroughs of Mount Ephraim, Runnemede and Lawnside were also created in the same two-day period. Bellmawr is home to the main post office for the area, one of the largest in the state of New Jersey. In late October 2001 the office was closed due to possible anthrax contamination (see 2001 anthrax attacks). The office was re-opened several days later, in early November, after testing negative for anthrax. (more on Wikipedia)

I had a clear cut win for the African also iam aussie toPosted May 17, 2013 1:53 am
Klassen won this fight easy Tomlinson still needs some schooling – he had one game plan and it didnt work ofcourse because malcom is a very good fighter he was making him miss and then lands some nice shots….he needs to fight smart and gifts like that wont help himPosted May 17, 2013 1:31 am
Where can i watch the replay ? 2 had it 118/109 &117/110 .Posted May 16, 2013 8:40 pm
I watched it for a second time and scored it in my opinion klassen won by three rounds, only my opinion will was missing so much and i love the guy but klassen hit him with harder and cleaner shots, those judges should be shot, wish teddy atlas was the commentator he would have told themPosted May 16, 2013 7:46 pm
From another Aussie I thought Klassen won the fight.It was a close one but I do not like some of the decisions of late coming out of Oz.
I agree also but klassen won that hands down and im also aussiePosted May 16, 2013 7:37 pm
DJ Daz
I saw most of the fight and the scores are complete BS, Klassen appeared to be landing cleaner and more punches. I expected the scores to be much closer, not a shut out. This was a very even & competitive fight and this is from an Aussie.Posted May 16, 2013 4:10 pm

Drew Friedman's illustrations and cartoons are known for their dead-on depictions of celebrities, comedians, and circus performers. In a recent interview with "Ink," the comic artist says, "I'm sort of drawn to the people who nobody else notices." Take a look back at his best comic moments with his upcoming exhibition, titled, "My Way."
Friedman became known for his "stippling" technique, in which many small dots are used to yield a photorealistic effect. This sharp accuracy when combined with caricatured portrayals of pop culture icons make for biting satire that is as fun to look at as it is to laugh at. He perfectly sums up Woody Allen's paranoid gulp, Sid Vicious' snarl, and Anthony Weiner's cocky grin, crafting realistic portraits with a perfect punchline. According to Scott Eder Gallery, Kurt Vonnegut compared Friedman to Francisco Goya, who relayed the events of his time through a healthy serving of commentary.
The exhibition at Scott Eder Gallery features a look back at Friedman's prolific works, from his black-and-white drawings to his more recent watercolors. It will show from April 27 to May 31 in Brooklyn.
Which of Friedman's comics is your favorite? Let us know!
Drew Friedman, American Splendor Anthology cover, 1991, Pen & ink on paper (9.75 x 12.75 inches)
Drew Friedman, "My Way" (Sid Vicious, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley), NY Daily News, 1999, Watercolor on paper (6 x 7.5 inches)
Drew Friedman, "Subway Riders" - Created for the second edition of "Any Similarity to Persons Living or Dead is Purely Coincidental" (1990), Pen & ink on paper (9 x 9 inches)
Drew Friedman, "Woody Allen, Sports Reporter," The New York Observer, 1998, Watercolor on paper (8.5 x 9 inches)
Drew Friedman, "Rat City," High Times, 1981, Pen & ink on paper (10.5 x 13 inches)
Drew Friedman, Jackie Chan, Entertainment Weekly, 2001, Watercolor on paper (8.25 x 8 inches)

Fatty pork is the standout ingredient in these crisp spring rolls; it adds intense flavor and a tender texture to the crab and vegetable filling. Fresh ginger and a generous amount of cilantro add kick.
Leave a Review
The All-Star of New Years Eve! I doubled the recipe and just used egg roll wraps. I also pan fried them until golden brown and baked them in the oven according to the directions on the egg roll package. Absolutely delicious with a good sweet and sour sauce.
Awsome!!!! Worth the effort of finding rice paper wedges. Yummmmmy.
These are awsome. I used a dipping sauce from allrecipes.com and it was perfect. Definatly going to be a hit on new years eve.
These are sublime! I love spring rolls, although I'd never made them myself before. These are the best I've ever had, by far. I'm not sure what I loved more -- the complex way the progression of flavors unfolds itself in your mouth, or the contrast between the crisp, light exterior and the meaty filling. Truly one of the better things I've ever made.
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!! My only complaint is that the recipe didn't make enough. I used canned crab which worked fine. Was good with the nuoc mam dipping sauce and purchased Mae Ploy sweet/sour chili sauce.

-Neon Genesis Evangelion
-Cowboy Bebop
-Full Metal Alchemist
-Samurai Champloo
-Death Note
Thats a good start.
Is this what you want your children watching?
Possibly the greatest "Morals" cartoon of all time and we need more of this:

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
This is made from both stinging nettle and wild ramps, resulting in a pesto that is addictive and delicious. It's also dairy free, although of course you can use dairy instead. This is my favourite way of eating nettle!
Ramps have become widely popular in the last few years. They have a wonderful flavor combination of garlic and onion. These plants offer a wide variety of uses from the bulbs to leaves.
Three springtime pickles: Asian-inspired pickled fiddleheads with cumin, coriander, ginger and garlic; French-inspired pickled ramps; and spiced pickled rhubarb.
A vegan pesto made with ramps leaves. Lemon juice helps to fix the vibrant green color.
There is only a short period when ramps are available for harvesting. Collect them to enjoy this seasonal delicacy now, or preserve them for a taste of spring later in the year.
Ramps, onions, vinegar, cane sugar and sea salt create a very unique flavored jam. Get out and forage for some ramps!
Join me and renowned keyboard player John Medeski as we forage for ramps in the woods and then use them to make dinner for our families.
Take your precious ramp greens and make a lovely preserved lemon compound butter, and pickle the bulbs - double bang for your buck.
This recipe is a fresh and simple Asian inspired stir fry dish flavoured with oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and fresh ginger combined with the pure flavours of the tofu and aubergine. A healthy, quick, delicious and nutritious dinner.
How to make your own ramp flavored salt by mixing flaked sea salt with dehydrated and ground ramps. It's like garlic salt, only BETTER!

I'm here with Michael Raneri, CEO of MeeVee (an online video guide) and he was showing me that its network is getting slammed by people watching the first episode of the Tudors (which will come out on Showtime). The first episode is up on MeeVee two weeks before it'll be on TV (it was just put up a few minutes ago). This is a new way TV networks are promoting new shows. Turns out that because of Tivo networks are having a tough time getting people to watch new shows (they don't see the ads for the new shows) so they are doing "pre-launches" on the Internet on sites like MeeVee.
Tudors is getting tons of traffic on MeeVee

The Smiley Face has been a happy sight in West Branch since 1974. / West Branch Chamber
And the happy winner is: Smiley Face.
In West Branch, where everyone always has a nice day, the yellow Smiley Face water tower has been a symbol for drivers on I-75 as they pass since 1974.
Now, Smiley Face has taken top spot in our #Drive75 reader rankings of the top underrated sights on I-75 from Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie.
■ Quiz: Are you an 1-75 road warrior? | Mobile users tap here
■ Photo gallery: Top under-appreciated sights on Michigan's I-75 | Mobile users tap here
■ Video: Travel 492 miles in 4 minutes! See a time lapse video of Ellen Creagers journey up I-75
It won partly because of a spirited campaign by the West Branch Area Chamber of Commerce, which successfully whipped up townsfolk to vote for their beloved tower.
Not only is it a great place to stop and take pictures, but we have a huge park next door, Irons Park, with a river running through it, says Heather Johnson, director. Whats fabulous about visiting the Smiley Face Tower and Irons Park is that it is only 2 miles off the highway, and then you can jump right back on the highway by doing a quick loop through West Branch.
How smile began
Forty years ago when the city built the 175-foot water tower, local businessman Ralph Steinhauser spearheaded the drive to put the popular upbeat image on it. In 1999, the face nearly disappeared when $200,000 had to be raised to repaint it, but just in time the town rallied and the jolly smile stayed.
West Branch is 160 miles north of Detroit.
Visible from I-75, its easy to get a closer view by exiting at Exit 212 and driving east to the nearby Walmart parking lot. Then drive 2 miles further to Valley Street and downtown West Branch, where the tower is next to Irons Park. (You can also get there from I-75s Exit 215.)
How iconic is it? So iconic it has its own spoof. On April 1, 2010, the local paper, the Ogemaw County Herald, reported that due to Michigans recession the smile would be repainted into a sadder expression and West Branch would henceforth be known as Frown Town. April Fool.
So, congratulations to Smiley Face. And have a nice day.
Our runner-up attraction is Straits State Park in St. Ignace, with its commanding overlook of the Mackinac Bridge looking south. In third place is another St. Ignace icon: Castle Rock, a 200-foot lookout peak that has been a tourist attraction in Michigan since 1929.
Top 10 winnners
Here is the complete list of Free Press readers Top 10 Underrated Attractions on I-75 between Detroit and the Soo:
1. Smiley Face water tower, West Branch
2. Straits State Park bridge overlook, St. Ignace
3. Castle Rock lookout point, St. Ignace
4. Hartwick Pines State Park old growth forest, Grayling
5. Old Mackinac Pointe beach, Mackinaw City
6. Cross in the Woods, Indian River
7. Firemens Memorial, Roscommon
8. Museum Ship Valley Camps Edmund Fitzgerald lifeboats, Sault Ste. Marie
9. McGulpin Point Lighthouse and beach, Mackinaw City
10. City elk herd, Gaylord
Thanks to all the readers who participated, voted in our poll, sent in nominations and encouraged me on my long and winding drive north last month to see Michigans most underrated attractions on I-75.
Where will #Drive75 go next year? Stay tuned.

"We were very pleased with our invitations! The cards were very professional looking and well made! If we ever need paper goods this is the place!"
"This card fit perfectly with my daughter's dance party theme. The card is adorable and such high quality. They arrived in just the right time and have only heard rave reviews from my daughter's friends."
"Omg! They are beautiful! And not expensive. For a party of 80 people you would spent about the same in any other store but the difference is that this you could personalize them.And they shipped them fast! My kinds and husband were like didn't you just show this to us yesterday in the web?!but overall they are beautiful, simple and good quality.The only thing I which they would offer is colored envelopes.They have to have style on the outside too."
"The colors are all bold. No colors are faint. Loved how I could change colors, fonts and sizes of the text. The Quality of the card and the envelopes were amazing."
"I ordered the shimmer and rounded corners. The paper was thick, glossy and high quality. Had the design team put something else in place of the initial and it came out perfect Colors were vivid. Cannot go wrong with this invite."

Be careful not to place too many Ad units on a page. Check the current TOS for Adsense. And remember that the click value degrades with each new Ad unit appearing in the source code.
So you want your visitor to click on the highest paying Ad, therefore you need to place the first Ad unit in the hot spot where people leave your page via a click. This may be at the end of a blog post or near the start of your web page that didn't quite give them what they expected following a search :)
Another technique is to have a vertical Ad unit that looks somewhat like site navigation links in a side bar.
Its like bombarded with ads. Among those two, first one is good. your 360* add is after some texts over there. Place that add above all text, but below title.
I suggest you to use simple design which have one 360* add and some link unit. Simple converts more. Experts suggested that. I followed that.
All the best
