One or more methods include contacting an aligning conveyor system having an aligning conveyor belt and/or a static surface that forms a trough with an article that has a first orientation that deviates from a desired orientation and allowing the article to move laterally within the trough to a second orientation that deviates from a desired orientation less than the first orientation.
|Convertible Package Assembly and Display System - A package assembly suitable for use in storing and shipping a plurality of product containers includes a shipping configuration and a display configuration. In the shipping configuration the package assembly is constructed from a single blank of packaging material and formed into a case into which a plurality of product containers are inserted. In the display configuration a top portion of the case is removed from a bottom portion of the case along one or more tear lines on the blank.
|Product Stabilizer - A product stabilizer is employed to prevent tipping or shingling of product in a packaging line. The product stabilizer utilizes a linear actuator, coupled to a plurality of arms, to ensure proper spacing between adjacent products in the packaging line.
|Packaging Loader Assembly - A packaging loader for loading products into packaging has a conveyor, a collator, and a nesting assembly. The conveyor conveys products to the collator, where the products are collected and, subsequently, transferred to the nesting assembly. The nesting assembly rearranges at least some of the products for placement into the packaging. Once the products have been properly arranged by the nesting assembly, they are placed within the packaging. The process repeats, as desired, to arrange one or more layers of products within the packaging.
|Package Assembly with Tear Away Film and Manufacturing System - A package assembly includes a number of containers, a heat-shrink wrapping disposed around the containers and tear strip; the tear strip aids in opening the heat-shrink wrapping. The tear strip can be defined by perforations disposed through the heat-shrink wrapping and arranged in pathways. The perforations are cut in the heat-shrink wrapping with a packaging apparatus having a cutting member. The cutting member is used in combination with a die to leave a chad attached to heat-shrink wrapping. Thereafter, the heat-shrink wrapping is shrunk with a heating source in order to bundle containers together within the package assembly.
|Multiple Blank Carton Former and Carton Production Method - A carton forming machine has a forming assembly, a first carton dispenser, and a second carton dispenser. The forming assembly includes a forming head and a plurality of forming stations including a first forming station and a second forming station. The forming head has an axis of travel along which it moves to form a carton from multiple carton blanks. The first forming station is aligned with the second forming station along the axis of travel, and the forming head travels through the first and second forming stations.
|High Speed Servo Laner - A high speed servo laner apparatus and system includes an entrance to the laner which receives products from an upstream processing line. A pivoting guide has a distal end attached to the entrance and a proximal end attached to a movable portion. At least one pacing screw is also attached to the moveable portion. The at least one pacing screw includes a thread, which has a pitch and radius configured to accommodate passage of a unit of product between two axially adjacent portions of the thread.
|Bulk Product Diverter - A bulk product diverter and system for separating bulk product units into multiple product streams includes a unique conveyor assembly. The conveyor has a plurality of flights wherein the adjacent flights define buckets into which groups of bulk product units are placed. The conveyor conveys each bucket in a downstream direction along a horizontal path, then along a vertical path, then around a turn of approximately 150 degrees. A diverter fence is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the path defines a first gate through which acceptable product units are passed. In the closed position the product units continue around the turn to pass through a second gate.
|Pizza Tray and Forming Assembly - A forming assembly and process for forming a carton from a carton blank are herein disclosed. The finished carton can have an odd number of sides and/or an angle between two adjacent sides that is less than 90 degrees. The forming assembly includes a forming head and a forming cavity. The forming head acts as an inner die and the forming cavity acts as an outer die. In addition, the forming cavity includes at least one cavity side plate that desirably folds tabs on the carton blank to secure the tabs to one another and form the finished carton.
|Packaging Machine - A packaging apparatus for real-time alignment of packaging surfaces can include two or more sensors for detecting the positioning of carton surfaces and a servo system. The servo system can include a servo motor and a controller. The servo system records the positioning of the carton surfaces and calculates a difference in position. The controller compares the calculated value with a predetermined value and if necessary, the servo motor turns a correction wheel to align the carton surfaces.
|Detection System - A foil lid inspection system for detecting and separating defective foil lids on a container in a production line includes one or more light sources, an inspection camera, and inspection software. The light sources are positioned to direct light in an upward direction to illuminate the container. The inspection camera is positioned above the foil lid, and the camera includes one or more outputs. The inspection software is in communication with the inspection camera. The inspection software is constructed and arranged to determine if the foil lid on the container is defective. A reject signal is applied to an output if the software determines that the foil lid is defective.
|Packaging Machine - A packaging apparatus for real-time alignment of packaging surfaces can include two or more sensors for detecting the positioning of carton surfaces and a servo system. The servo system can include a servo motor and a controller. The servo system records the positioning of the carton surfaces and calculates a difference in position. The controller compares the calculated value with a predetermined value and if necessary, the servo motor turns a correction wheel to align the carton surfaces.
|Package Assembly - A container package assembly includes two support members. Both the support members have a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, and a vertical support. For each support member, the vertical support is integrally engaged to the top, the bottom, the first side, and the second side. For each support member, the top is substantially parallel to the bottom, the first side is substantially parallel to the second side, and the vertical support is substantially perpendicular to the top and the bottom. For each support member, the first side and the second side have a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge having a top edge length and the bottom edge having a bottom edge length, the top edge length being less than the bottom edge length. The vertical support of the first support member is immediately adjacent the vertical support of the second support member.

Knoxville, TN (AP) - Alex Tyus scored 18 points and turned a
steal into a dunk in overtime that helped Florida to an 81-75
victory over Tennessee on Tuesday night.
Tennessee scored the last four points in regulation. A layup by
Brian Williams with 1:40 left tied the game at 68, and both teams
missed two shots before time expired.
Florida (13-3, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) opened the overtime
with a 3-pointer from Kenny Boynton, who had 17 points, and the
Gators scored the first six points in the extra frame.
Tennessee cut the margin to 79-75 on a 3-pointer by Cameron
Tatum with 23 seconds left, but the Vols wouldn't hit another shot
as the Gators made four free throws to close it out.
It was the second game Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl missed
because of an eight-game SEC suspension. The Vols have lost both
without him.
Tatum led Tennessee (10-6, 0-2) with 21 points.

There are a number of relevent meanings related to the tendency to persist :
- The tendency to continue to a particular behaviour beyond the point where it is useful. See Punding,Stimming, Stereotypy
- Uncontrollable repetition of a particular response, such as a word, phrase, or gesture, despite the absence or cessation of a stimulus, usually caused by brain injury or other neurological disorder.
- The tendency for a memory or idea to be maintained without any obvious stimulus for it. This implies internal mechanisms for the persistence of the phenomena (eg defence mechanism) and usually carries a negative connotation.

When the late James A. Michener came to Austin to research his epic novel Texas, he didnt expect that the state and its people would have such an impact on him that he would make it his permanent home.
Twenty years later and five years after Micheners death, the acclaimed writers impact on Texas lives on.
Michener is renowned for writing expansive novels that delve deeply into the roots of their settings. At The University of Texas at Austin, he is remembered as well for his abundant philanthropy. The author of Texas and about 40 other books gave more than $30 million to the university, one of the largest gifts from an individual donor in its time.
At the groundbreaking on Saturday (Oct. 19) for the new Blanton Museum of Art, it was announced that one of the two new Blanton Museum buildings will be named in honor of James and his wife, Mari Michener.
Its a fitting tribute for a couple who not only gave money to begin funding the new museum, but also donated an extensive collection of 20th-century American paintings to the university and funded an entire graduate writing program. The Michener gifts to artists and writers help insure that there will be artists and writers in the generations to come.
James Michener first became acquainted with Texas well before he came here to research his novel about the state. In 1936, as an editor for Macmillan, he worked with University of Texas at Austin faculty member George Sánchez on an upcoming textbook.
His return to Texas can be attributed to the efforts of two Texans: University of Texas at Austin Chancellor Harry Ransom and Texas Governor Bill Clements.
In the 1960s, Michener set up a foundation board to research possible homes for his collection of 20th-century American paintings. He was impressed by the publication program of The University of Texas at Austins University Art Museum and the frequency with which Museum Director Donald Goodall was making exhibitions throughout the world. He was even more impressed when Harry Ransom offered him the first two floors in the under-construction Humanities Research Center for his collection.
Michener had found what he was looking for. He worked directly with Ransom to place half of his collection on campus permanently and half on a loan that would become permanent in the 1990s.
Michener returned to Texas in the 70s to research the cattle-drive section of his novel Centennial. But it was a call from Governor Bill Clements in the early 1980s that brought Michener to Texas in a move that would ultimately make Austin his permanent home and The University of Texas at Austin the recipient of his generous endowments.
Governor Clements was impressed by Michener's other state novels and offered him a commission to write a novel about Texas.
[Clements] was intrigued by these great novels that Michener wrote, starting with the basic geology, moving through these spans of time and generations of characters, said Peter Flawn, then president of The University of Texas at Austin. I believe the governor thought it would be beneficial to tell the story of Texas in the Michener style.
Michener agreed to write the book, but maintained that he agreed because he thought it was a good idea, not because the governor of Texas was asking him.
Michener came to Austin 20 years ago this fall to begin work on Texas. For the more than three years that he spent researching and writing the novel, he and his assistant, John Kings, set up shop at the universitys Barker Texas History Center. There they pored through books, documents, maps and whatever they could get their hands on to uncover the story of Texas.
Don Carleton was director of the Barker and is now director of the universitys Center for American History. He explained that Michener essentially wrote the book out of the Barker, mining the largest Texana collection in existence anywhere. The novelist was aware that The University of Texas at Austin was without peers in its resources on Texas history.
The university opened its arms to Michener in other ways, providing both him and Kings with offices at the Barker, as well as with two graduate students who helped with the research. Michener was named the Jack G. Taylor Centennial Professor Emeritus. There was even a house on Mt. Bonnell where the Micheners could live.
Michener's research for Texas also involved crisscrossing the state by car to experience the land and the people firsthand. Governor Clements introduced Michener to all of Texas' VIPs, one of whom loaned Michener his plane. And Carleton himself accompanied Michener on several trips as a guide. Back in Austin, public figures such as then mayor of San Antonio Henry Cisneros would visit Michener at the Barker to be interviewed.
Michener was clear in his conversations with Carleton and others that he couldn't have written Texas without the generous assistance of the university. For his part, Carleton describes Michener as part of the Center family, working closely with everyone involved to gather information and approach the state in his own comprehensive fashion.
Texas was published in 1985. It begins with the arrival of early Spanish explorers in 1527 and brings Texas history to the present. It is a a book about oil and water, rangers and outlaws, Anglos and Hispanics, frontier and settlement, money and power, wrote The Boston Globe, that views the state's history through the fictional eyes of a governor's task force appointed in early 1983 to prepare teaching materials for the Texas school system in time for the 1986 sesquicentennial celebration of its declaration of independence from Mexico. The book is typical Michener: long and methodical, compelling yet thorough, and full of unforgettable Texans.
After completing Texas, Michener moved on to his next book, Alaska. But he never quite moved on from The University of Texas at Austin and Austin. His relationship with both, begun in the 1960s, was solidified while writing the novel and would remain strong until his death in 1997 at the age of 90.
Texas is a long way from Doylestown, Pa., where Michener lived for most of his childhood in the home of Mabel Michener, a widow who made her living by taking in abandoned children and doing other families' laundry. They were humble beginnings, but they offered the young Michener much of what he needed. Mabel read the books of Charles Dickens aloud to the children in her home and tried to provide them with all the comforts she could.
Michener also remembered when a small library was opened in town and he and Margaret Mead were the first two children to apply for cards. He remembered the librarian saying, Goodness, Margaret and James, I believe you've read all the children's books we have. If you wish, you can start on the other shelves.
The library full of books and Mabel Michener's Dickens readings appear to have made an early impression on the future novelist. His passion for travel also developed early, and by the time he had graduated from high school in 1925, he had already been to all but three of the 48 states. A brilliant student who served three years on his high school newspaper, played basketball and was elected class president, Michener was awarded a four-year scholarship to Swarthmore College, from which he graduated summa cum laude in 1929 with a bachelor of arts degree in English and history.
He spent the 1930s traveling and teaching. He continued his own education, all of which was funded entirely by scholarship, at nine universities in the U.S. and Europe, primarily at St. Andrews University in Scotland. Later, Michener taught in Pennsylvania, Colorado and at the Harvard School of Education.
After a stint as a textbook editor with Macmillan in New York, Michener enlisted in the U.S. Navy, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander and serving on some 49 different islands in the South Pacific during World War II.
While living on the New Hebrides island of Espiritu Santo, Michener wrote a series of interrelated stories titled Tales of the South Pacific. He claims to have started writing the book when he realized what a unique experience it was to serve in the Pacific. Though the popularity of Tales of the South Pacific grew slowly, it eventually won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize for literature. In 1949, Rogers and Hammerstein turned the novel into one of Broadway's most popular musicals, South Pacific. The movie version, starring Mitzi Gaynor and Rossano Brazzi, was released in 1958.
During his 45-year writing career, Michener published more than 40 books, a number made even more impressive by the fact that he didn't start writing until he was 40 years old. Many of his books are more than 1,000 pages long. They have been sold in hardcover and paperback in almost every language of the world, with sales running into the millions. Not bad for a man who wrote the same way for 50 yearschurning out books on his old manual typewriter, using only his two index fingers.

This is another issue. Who the hell feels like counting calories? Especially someone who is just a strength athlete. I used to count when i started lifting/weight loss and it made me so frustrated i just went by mirror/scale.

This is another issue. Who the hell feels like counting calories? Especially someone who is just a strength athlete. I used to count when i started lifting/weight loss and it made me so frustrated i just went by mirror/scale.
Are you back in an LS1 yet? Saw you on ls1tech ha.
PS- I have no problem sacrificing a chicken to Jobu if I can then eat that chicken.
Alright, going keto for ten days into the cut for my meet. I have been reading a lot of Lyle McDonald's stuff lately. So I have been taking in around 70 grams of carbs a day. He says some can go as high as 100 grams. I have the keto metal taste in my mouth, but I figured I'd grab some keto stix to check also (I know they are not the end all be all, but they couldn't hurt). Yep, I have been able to stay in ketosis with that amount of carbs. For whatever reason low carb, high fat just works for me.
Now, I plan on dropping 20 lbs this summer (or as long as it takes). I will be following Lyle's TKD approach instead of Carb Nite or CBL (figure you all love Kiefer so much :bash:. I will continue to keep my carbs under 100 during the day like I am now. However, I will add an additional 25-50 about half an hour before training. The theory is, it should be enough to get me through training, but then I should be able to return to ketosis shortly thereafter.
So, if I have a little carb craving I can have it pre workout. I'm interested to see how this will work out. Gotta week before I start. Still got my cut and meet coming up this week.
This year though I didn't exactly cut out carbs but I lowered them a lot. It worked great I dropped a lot of weight and still kept a majority of my strength. I don't know if low carb had anything to do with it though cause I also changed a lot of other things.
I plan to stay lean indefinitely with this method after I am done my cutting of the fat. I think you can still gain while staying lean by doing this.
I get the same comments as you when I dirty bulk. But these people never saw me with my shirt off. It's embarrassing when everyone knows working out is a passion of yours, then you get to the beach/pool and look like absolute shit. The stomach is what ruins a physique.
Then when you cut, your family thinks you have a terminal illness.
You just can't win haha.
I posted this in Alex's article so I'll post this here about CBL.
The biggest problem with CBL is not the diet, but the book. It is horrible to follow and confusing as hell. That's why half the people fail and the other half do well on it. From a personal experience, I initially gained unwanted weight and I gave up on it. Then after I did some more research, I decided to try it again, but this time, I actually tracked my calories and reduced the carbs to about 200 gr. That's when I started to see the results that I wanted. That's also when I realized that there was nothing miraculous about CBL. On the days that I carb backloaded, I was eating over my maintenance and on the other days, I was way under my maintenance. So essentially, I was on a slight calorie deficit without even realizing it until I started tracking my calories. The reason that CBL works so well for big guys is that they are eating at such a deficit on their rest days that they are dropping weight like crazy without having to track their calories. But for us smaller guys, it is crucial to track the calories or you will over do it. Don't believe me? Try it and see. Another thing that is confusing about CBL is when to backload. Is it the night before or after you train?
So a few months ago, someone told me about the Renegade Diet and how easy it was to follow. It is essentially Paleo and IF combined. It is actually very similar to CBL, but the book is super easy to read and everything is laid out for you depending on whether your goal is fat loss or mass gain. Basically you eat more carbs on the day that you train and less on the days that you don't. I even created a spreadsheet where all you have to do is enter your current and ideal weight and it calculates everything for you:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...2c&usp=sharing (WFS)
I'm still not 100% sold on it so I want to give it some more time before I make my decision on whether to stick with it or check something else out.
People and so called "experts" want to complicate things more and more so they sound like you need all this cutting edge knowledge. But the key to real brilliance is in simplicity, or applied simplicity. So if you are taking care of your calorie needs throughout the day your body will do the rest.
Thx for all of the advice here. Been eating carbs regularly for a couple of weeks now. I reintroduced them slowly. It's really interesting because a lot of people have remarked lately how good I look. That's a relative term by the way. I think I have a tendency to make things harder than they need to be sometimes.

The hegh'bat was a Klingon ritual suicide. Tradition dictated that the eldest son—or, if he is unavailable, a close friend—must assist. That person's role was to hand the dying Klingon a knife so that he could plunge it into his heart. The helper then removed it and then wiped the blood off on their sleeve. (TNG: "Ethics")

Haager relinquishes command to Spain
September 16, 2009
Related Links
SCHWEINFURT, Germany - In a ceremony on Conn Barracks Tuesday, Lt. Col. Everett Spain assumed command of the U.S. Army Garrison Schweinfurt, succeeding Lt. Col. Anthony Haager, who commanded the garrison since July 2006.
Calling it a "historic moment for the Schweinfurt community," Diane Devens, director, Installation Management Command - Europe Region, noted the significance in the timing of the ceremony.
"The passing of these flags might seem insignificant to the casual eye, but in fact, this move signifies achieving a milestone on the path to the global defense posture realignment, which called for a significantly transformed Army worldwide," she said, referring to the impending command-and-control shift of the USAG Schweinfurt to an indirect-report garrison under the USAG Ansbach.
"It's very symbolic, this change of command ceremony, in terms of the Army's transformation here in Europe," she said.
Col. Christopher Hickey, USAG Ansbach commander, also delivered remarks and praised Spain's service. "A quick read of his biography will reveal that this officer is not only a superb leader but a scholar and an athlete," Hickey said. "I look forward to working with you as we implement this new streamlined command structure to provide best possible service to our mission units, Soldiers and their families," Hickey said, addressing Spain.
Spain, who was stationed in Germany earlier in his career, comes to Schweinfurt with his wife and four children from his assignment as a White House Fellow with the Department of the Treasury.
"Knowing that the future belongs to those who seek it, I ask that you please join us in working to keep our community young in spirit," with courage, compassion, ideas, spirit of teamwork, and energy, Spain said to the community in his address. "The garrison's mission is to sustain, support, defend. Those three words are exactly what we are going to continue to do together as a community for the heroes, families and civilians of 1-2 Infantry, 1-91 Cavalry, 9th Engineers, 1-77 Field Artillery, 172nd Support, 15th Engineers, 44th Signal, 12th Chemical, and all of the other distinguished units and people who serve along side of us in the wonderful place we call home: Schweinfurt," he said.
Haager's next assignment takes him to the Pentagon, with the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations and Environment.
