I love climbing, but have never been a climber. The climbers I train with dish it out on the hills, but they know I'll pay them back in the crosswinds. In races, it's a different story though, as I'm only able to survive the hills around here -- not really to use them to my advantage.
I ended last season with two really bad crit performances in technical crits with a couple of small climbs. I was just thrashed about 20 minutes in. The hills were compounded by the accerlations out of each turn and I just couldn't hang...and my fitness sucked/sucks. Those were the only races I'd been pulled from and it was no fun at all.

I enjoy climbing more, which is real easy to say when I'm sitting at a desk and not redlining on a 10% grade. Descending is okay but those 10+ mile descents get boring.
I never really knew how to climb until I got a powermeter. I always went out way too hard at the beginning and got spit off the back. Now I just estimate what watts I can hold for the duration and make sure my HR stays below a certain number. Next season I should be 20% lighter and 20-30% stronger, hopefully this will be enough for me to keep up with the lead group (I'll miss my friends in the back).
I like the descent off Cadillac mountain in Maine. The descent from the top of Whiteface is a total drag. The road is terrible and you have to ride the brakes. It's also cold as all get out. I'll take climbing any day.
In the harder rides, they shoot forward and out of sight, and I see them at the top haha.
I know some of you guys have done Everest Challenge; how big of an element is the descending? Do they factor into the finish or do the climbs blow everyone apart enough to make them a non factor?
I've almost notched a full year on the bike now and am happy with the progress, but racing and race rides leave me wanting soooo much more. I've spent the last 4+ years in the gym doing strength work (deadlift, squat, repeat) and had the occasional conditioning day, so I've got a good amount of bulk that I'm losing. Unfortunately, some of that is muscle mass in the legs...
oldest pic ever, and not yet near the apex, but we're all doing this now right?
^^ hairy legs!
Based on the pictures it seems like everyone leans a touch bit more than the bike? I couldn't remember which way it went but that seems to be the case.

sierra cement?
i've never skied mt. rose, drove by it a couple of times on the way to tahoe from reno. we made some turns at sierra at tahoe, heavenly, and squaw. beautiful area, best views i've ever had on skiis, but my limited skill set wasnt crazy about the wet/heavy snow and hard bumps.
For all the CO skiing I do, I am starting to really miss Utah. I used to love hiking up off the Juipter Peak lift at the top of park city. You hike another 500(?) feet elevation to the top of the resort, and you have 270° of steep powder off the top. Even on the busiest Saturday, there'd be only one or two sets of tracks up there b/c most Park City customers won't hike. All in bounds too (avalanche controlled).
And I bet TetonRider could weigh in similarly.

Valley of Flowers Trek- A trek amidst a riot of colours and scents
Many tales are spun around the Valley of Flowers – usually about trekkers falling unconscious from the heavy scent of flowers on the valley floor. Whatever the stories, they do have a grain of truth in them, in a good way! It is rare to find a valley so full of flowers. Flowers bloom everywhere in a riot of colours – purple, yellow, white, pink… They blanket the valley in such a way that sometimes, you can't see the valley floor at all!
Trek Itinerary
Day 1: Getting to base camp of Valley of Flowers- Govind Ghat
- Arrive at Haridwar the previous night or by 6:00 am (on your own)
- Indiahikes will organise pick-up vehicles from Haridwar railway station at 6:30 am.
- The transportation cos will have to be borne by the trekkers.
- The pickup can be arranged in a Tata Sumo (5-6 seater) or Tempo traveller (12 seater)
- The total cost of transportation one way is Rs. 6000 for an SUV and 10,000 for the Tempo traveller (to be shared among the trekkers)
- It takes 10-12 hours from Haridwar to Govind Ghat.
- Stay at a local hotel in Govind Ghat (included in the trek fee)
Day 2: Govind Ghat to Ghangria
- Start trekking out of the village early in the day, and cross the bridge over Alakananda.
- The trail is usually crowded with pilgrims from the Sikh community.
- The 13 km trek from Govind Ghat to Ghangria goes all the way along the river.
- It takes about 7 hours to reach Ghangria, which is a one-street village, lined with food joints and a Gurudwara.
- Stay overnight at Ghangria in a hotel/home stay.
Day 3: Ghangria to Valley of Flowers and back
- Today's trek is an easy flat walk in the valley covering a distance of 10 km.
- Start trekking by 6 am so that you have ample time at the valley of flowers.
- The day's trek involves an ascent of 3000 metres and a descent of 3500 metres.
- The entire valley is generally a carpet of colours – green, yellow, red, blue.
- It is surrounded by mountains with trees at lower levels, brown and grey soil in the middle and bright snow at the top.
- Spend some time amidst colourful flowers and soak your feet in the stream that passes through the valley.
- Camping in the valley is not permitted, so we will be trekking back to Ghangria.
- Start your trek back to Ghangria by afternoon retracing the same route.
- Stay overnight at Ghangria in a hotel/home stay.
Day 4: Ghangria to Hemkund Sahib and back
- Start your day by 5 am because the weather can be impulsive in the afternoon. Sudden cloud cover and rain can get you stranded if you do not descend in time.
- It is a stiff climb on rocky terrain. A trekking pole will come in handy for this day's trek.
- It takes about 4 hours to reach the Hemkund Sahib Gurdwara and lake.
- The Hemkund Sahib lake remains frozen for six months.
- Warm yourself in the Gurudwara and have generous helpings of hot tea and khichdi.
- Spend some time in the peaceful and pristine environment before descending down to Ghangria.
- The descent is steep. Carry a knee cap to avoid too much strain on the knee (optional).
- Stay overnight at Ghangria in a hotel/home stay.
Day 5: Ghangria to Govind Ghat
- Start your trek by 6 am
- It is an easy 13 km walk from Ghangria to Govind Ghat.
- You will reach Govind Ghat by 11 am.
- You may choose to leave to Haridwar immediately or stay overnight at Govind Ghat and depart to Haridwar the following morning.
- In case you are short on time, you may choose to drive to Haridwar on Day 5.
Day 6: Departure day
- Depart from Govind Ghat to Haridwar in the morning.
- Indiahikes will arrange vehicles to drop you back to Haridwar railway station.
- The cost of transit from Govind Ghat to Haridwar will have to be borne by the trekkers, and paid directly to the driver.
- It will cost you Rs. 6000 for an SUV and Rs. 10,00 for a tempo traveller (to be shared among the trekkers)
*Refer to the trek details tab for the full documentation.
Remember to see the flowers, you need to time your trek correctly. In July and August, during monsoon, is the best time to visit Valley of Flowers . There might be a day or two of rain on the trek but the sight of flowers in full bloom makes up for any discomfort.To know what other trekkers think about this trek take a look at Pallavi and Prakash Chitnis review or watch this Valley of Flowers video.

Calva Café is a tiny family-run Chinese restaurant offering Mandarin Chinese basics and a solid sushi selection atop Queen Anne Hill.
The blink-and-you'll-miss-it Calva Café is just the kind of tiny family-run Chinese restaurant that rewards a walk around Seattle's Chinatown International District.
But this delicious find is square atop Queen Anne Hill, surrounded by cafes with higher pretensions. With seating for just a dozen and an open kitchen crammed with supplies, Calva Café compensates for ambience with delicious Mandarin Chinese basics and a solid sushi selection.
The menu: The husband-wife owners, Frank Fang and Valentina Chen, got their start in sushi, branching out to Chinese staples when they opened Calva Café about five years ago in the heart of Queen Anne's shopping district. There are few surprises on the menu, but sauces have a made-from-scratch feel that will satisfy a quest for Chinese comfort food.
What to write home about: I am a fool for hot and sour soup, and Calva's version ($1.50), with a bite of tomato, was a generous serving of savory, slightly spicy love. The Rainbow sampler roll ($11.95) includes albacore, salmon, eel and yellow tail.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit

The chef's special Happy Family ($15.95) was a family-sized dish of beef and butterflied shrimp coated in a tangy ginger-garlic sauce. The octopus sashimi ($5.50) was so fresh you could almost taste saltwater.
What to skip: The spicy tuna roll ($5.95) was a surprisingly bland goo of blended tuna purée.
The setting: Calva Café is primarily takeout, with a loyal neighborhood following. The cramped dining room and counter abut the kitchen, so you can pretend Chen is your long-lost grandmother, whipping up dinner in puffs of steam.
Summing up: A ridiculously big dinner for two — soup, sushi sampler, chef's special and an extra roll — was $51.83 including tax and tip, but you could order lighter and still leave a Happy Family.

text: At the time I am listening to music using WMP, then my pc will all of sudden reboot and show this error "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device". After I shutdown the computer and turn it on again, then I can login the Windows but after some time the computer restarts again and the same message appears. So I just used Windows Recovery console to repair the system and it started working fine. I am just thinking why this issue was happening? Any ideas? Thanks

text: Posted 9 Sep 2013 not trying to single you out Lloyd at all, but how do you know which higher being to "bet on"? are you basically just going with your gut? I am honestly curious on this because I have heard a few posters here suggest that someone like myself, that holds no beliefs really, just worship the Christian God so I can get into heaven... but there are a lot of paths to deity-granted salvation so I don't really like that idea. That's actually a great question, and to be completely honest, I have no answer. Who's to say one religion is right verses another? This is yet another problem I have with organized religion. This is also why I said that I believe in a maker, not a specific deity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This invention relates to bagging machines and methods and more particularly to methods and apparatus which are especially suited for bagging foodstuffs.
Batches of otherwise essentially bulk foodstuffs are frequently placed in plastic bags for transportation and storage. As an example, the machine described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 32,963 entitled Packaging Apparatus and Method, issued Mar. 24, 1987 and assigned to the assignee of this patent, (here the Chicken Machine Patent), has had wide acceptance for bagging parts of cut up chickens for transportation to, and storage at, fast food chicken restaurants. The machine of the Chicken Machine Patent has also enjoyed commercial success for packaging bulk quantities of such products as candy and dog food when used in combination with the shuttle and seal mechanism described and claimed in the same assignee's Patent No. 5,077,958, entitled Packaging Machine and Method, issued Jan. 7, 1992, (here the Bulk Packager Patent). The machine has also been used successfully in combination with an improved version of the Bulk Packager as taught and claimed in commonly owned Patent No. 5,259,172, issued Nov. 9, 1993, entitled Packaging Machine and Method, (here the Briquetting Patent). With the machine of the Briquetting Patent bulk foodstuffs such as lettuce are packaged after the bag has been compacted to expel air and compress the package contents.
While the bagging machine of the referenced patents, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties, has enjoyed commercial success, it has its limitations. First and foremost it is relatively complex and therefor expensive. Secondly its cycle rate is relatively slow, such that it is unsuited for truly high volume chicken and other foodstuff processing facilities. Because of its relatively slow cycle rate, when used with a supply conveyor, the conveyor must operate intermittently to avoid mixing one product batch with the next. When product batches are mixed, one can, for example with a ten piece chicken cut-up, end up with eleven chicken parts in one bag and nine in the next. Moreover, even if but ten parts are in a given bag, there may be parts from two chickens, such that, for example, one bag has three legs and perhaps the next bag has but one leg and three wings. Since many chicken processing plants operate with continuous conveyor feed of chicken parts to handle the throughput of a chicken processing line, the Chicken Bagger is not susceptible to satisfactory use in such a processing plant.
With the machine of the referenced patents, webs of preopened interconnected bags are used. The bags are open at the front and interconnected along the back. As a consequence an end bag has a tendency to swing rearwardly, especially when it is loaded, but also as it is being fed along a path of travel to a load station. Accordingly, the machine is constructed such that components are positioned behind the loading station, which components provide resistance to bags swinging rearwardly. With some food products, such as chickens, these components become coated when in use with food substances such as chicken fat. Accordingly, provisions must be made to facilitate the feed of bags to the load station without sticking to the components. To that end, the machine of the Chicken Bagger patent utilizes a number of belts which have downwardly movable reaches that engage bags as they are being fed to the load station. These belts are referred to in the Chicken Bagger patent as O ring like belts. This belt arrangement is both unduly complex and difficult to clean and sterilize effectively as is necessary in a food processing environment.
Another limitation of the machine of the referenced patents is that foodstuffs being deposited in the bag are gravity fed into bags which are generally vertically oriented at the load station. While this is quite satisfactory for many foodstuffs, it is unsatisfactory, for example, for bagging a number of bagels delivered to the machine on a tray. Gravity feed of a quantity of such products is apt to damage the products.
Machines have been constructed in which products are inserted into horizontally supported bags. Others have provided for angular adjustment of the orientation of a bagging machine. However most prior machines have lacked the ability to position a load station assembly such that bags being loaded may be horizontally or vertically oriented or at selected orientations between the horizontal and the vertical.
Under regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, where two metal members abut, welds must be provided to avoid the presence of crevices where foodstuffs can collect. The obvious reason is that such collected foodstuffs can become an environment for germ cultures. Because of these regulations, machines of the referenced patents have welds which are not needed for structural integrity of the machine, but rather are provided only for the purpose of complying with FDA regulations.
In many applications it is desirable to imprint information about a product being packaged, the date of packaging and/or instructions as to its handling as a part of the machine bagging operation. The machine of the referenced patents is lacking in provision for the presence of such an imprinter and, should an imprinter be present, there is no provision for the protection of such an imprinter during a machine cleaning operation. As a consequence such information is often hand stamped on bags after loading.
Another shortcoming of the machine of the referenced patents is that its configuration is such that if conveyor fed, the conveyor often must be positioned as a side loader, rather than inline which militates against the provision of a linear path of food processing travel through a food processing facility.
With a machine made in accordance with this invention the shortcomings of the prior machine are overcome and other advantages are provided as well. With the improved machine substantially increased throughput is provided by a machine that is simpler to clean, simpler in construction and utilizable for a larger variety of products.
A generally "Y" shaped upright section is mounted at the forward part of a base. The upright section has an upstanding leg and two downwardly extending divergent arms which are fixed to the base. A generally horizontal "Y" shaped section has a leg fixed to the leg of the upright section and a pair of diverging arms extending rearwardly. Supports are interposed between the arms of the horizontal section and the base.
The upright section arms and the supports each have cutouts adjacent their lower ends which together with the base define triangular openings. These openings both facilitate cleaning and sterilization of the machine and avoid welds that are not needed for structural integrity but which, but for the cutouts, would be necessary to avoid crevices where foreign matter can collect.
The machine includes a pair of mirror image supply stations located behind the upright section and on either side of the leg of the horizontal section. Because the horizontal section is "Y" shaped with its leg between the supply stations, ready access to the supply stations is available to facilitate, for example, placing of cartons of bag webs in the supply stations and removal of empty cartons.
The load stations are defined by mirror image assemblies supported by the upright section on either side of its leg. Each of the load station assemblies is vertically adjustable and rotatably mounted on the upright section for selective positioning for loading bags in horizontal or vertical orientations or at any desired angular relationship between the horizontal and vertical. The load stations include mirror image pairs of web feed nip rolls. The nip rolls of each pair are counter rotatable for feeding a respective web from each pair's associated supply station to an associated load station.
Each of the load station assemblies includes a flat backing plate. An air knife is positioned near and downstream along the path of travel from the feed rolls. The air knife emits air as a web is being fed to establish a lubricating air film between the web and the plate. This air film maintains the web in spaced relationship with the plate thus providing the feed assist function of the O ring belts of the prior machine with a simplified machine that is more readily cleaned and sterilized.
A product receiver in the form of an accumulator/diverter is mounted above and in front of the leg of the upstanding section. The diverter has a top opening inlet and a laterally spaced pair of outlets each oriented for gravity delivery of products to be bagged to an associated one of the load stations. The diverter is configured to receive the discharge end of an inline conveyor. The "Y" shaped configuration of the horizontal section facilitates a semi-nested orientation of such a conveyor, facilitating an inline flow path of the product being packaged. Such a flow path is especially facilitated if the bagging machine of this invention is used in conjunction with either of the transporting and sealing structures taught and claimed in the Bulk Packager and Briquetting Patents.
One of the features of the present machine is provision for operation with a continuously operating supply conveyor while coacting with that conveyor to establish and maintain spacing between successive product quantities to be bagged. The spacing is achieved through utilization of a belt or chain conveyor of the type that has dividers or separators delineating individual product receiving spaces. A baffle, which is preferably curved, is carried by and forms a part of the diverter. The baffle is positioned near the inlet opening. The conveyor and machine are positioned such that the separators and the baffle coact to prevent a successive product being dropped into the diverter until a preceding product has been discharged into a bag positioned at one of the load stations.
Another feature of the diverter is that it has two internal discharge doors. Each of the doors is positioned to enable an accumulated product in the accumulator/diverter to escape through an associated one of the discharge openings and thence drop into a bag positioned at an associated one of the bag end stations. The doors are alternately opened such that products are discharged into the bagger at one station and then the other as bags are alternately positioned at their respective load stations for receiving products to be bagged.
Another unique feature of the machine of this invention is the provision of supports for programmable imprinters above the supply stations. The imprinters are selectively utilizable to permit print information on the bags, such as identification of a product in a bag, date of packaging, and instructions for use.
A printer enclosure is supported by the frame at a location rearwardly of the supply stations. The enclosure has doors at its opposite ends accessible from opposite sides of the machine. When the machine is to be cleaned and sterilized, the programmable imprinters are removed from their supports and placed within the enclosure. Once the doors of the enclosure are closed, the imprinters are within a fluid tight enveloping enclosure, so that the machine can be cleaned and sterilized without damage to the imprinters.
Accordingly the objects of the invention are to provide a novel and improved bagging machine for bagging portions of bulk materials, particularly foodstuffs, and a method of bagging such materials.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of the machine;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the machine;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the machine;
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of a load station assembly on an enlarged scale with respect to FIGS. 1-3; and,
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of a load station assembly on the scale of FIG. 4.
Referring now to the drawings and to FIGS. 1-3 in particular, a packaging machine including the frame structure shown generally at 10 is provided. As is best understood by reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, the machine is a dual bagget having mirror image feed and load station assemblies 12, 13 supported by the frame 10. The frame delineates mirror image supply stations 14, 15, FIGS. 2 and 3.
In use, webs of interconnected, preopened bags 17 are fed along respective paths of travel indicated at 18, to respective load stations delineated by the assemblies 12, 13. An accumulator/diverter shown generally at 20 is positioned to receive products from a conveyor 21. The accumulator/diverter guides gravity fed products sequentially and alternately to bags positioned in the load station assemblies 12, 13.
The frame structure 10 includes a generally rectangular base 23. An upright section 24 is mounted on the forward, or left hand portion as viewed in FIG. 2, of the base 23. The upstanding section includes an upstanding post or leg 25 and a pair of downwardly diverging arms 27, 28 as are best seen in FIG. 1. Thus the upstanding section 24 is in the shape of an inverted "Y" having a leg 25 and diverging arms 27, 28.
A horizontal section shown generally at 30 projects rearwardly from the upstanding section 24. The horizontal section, is as is best seen in FIG. 3, in the shape of a truncated "Y" having a short leg portion 31 and rearwardly diverging arms 33, 34. The leg section 31 is connected to the leg 25 of the upstanding section, while the arms 33, 34 are connected to supports 35 which in turn are mounted on the base 23.
The provision of a truncated "Y" horizontal section 30 has several advantages. A first advantage is semi-triangulation for strength. A second advantage is that the supply stations 14, 15 are readily accessible because of the open clearance afforded through the use of the "Y" section. A third advantage is that the conveyor 21 is readily positioned close to the overall machine and in a partially nested relationship for the supply of products to be bagged to the accumulator/diverter 20.
An advantageous feature of the construction of the frame 10 is the provision of cut outs in lower portions of the arms 27, 28 of the upstanding section and at other places in the frame. These cut outs coact with the base 23 to delineate triangle openings, one of which is shown at 37 in FIG. 2. These openings both facilitate cleaning and sterilization of the machine, and also reduce costs because they obviate the need for a weld at each cut out location as would be required, but for the cut outs.
Since it is intended that the machine will usually be relatively, permanently positioned in a processing facility, but it is also anticipated that the floor of such a facility will not be perfectly level, leveling feet 38 are provided adjustably to support the machine.
A right angle support section 40 is mounted atop the upstanding section and the horizontal section. This support section 40 supports the accumulator/diverter 20. The support section also optionally supports a programmable imprinter 41 which is preferably of the type sold by the assignee under the designation PI-4000 and which is described in greater detail in copending application Ser. No. 08/090,896, filed on Jul. 12, 1993, under the title Web Imprinting Apparatus and Method.
In that the feed and load station assemblies 12, 13 are mirror images of one another, only the right hand, as viewed in FIG. 1, assembly 13, will be described in detail. The assemblies are mounted on a common shaft 43. The shaft in turn is rotatably mounted in a clamp 44. The clamp 44 permits rotative adjustment of the shaft 43 and the supported assemblies 12, 13 to a desired orientation anywhere in an adjustment range from the horizontal position shown in solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 2 to a vertical orientation. The clamp 44 in turn is connected to a channel 45 that depends from the upstanding section leg 25. The clamp 44, and with it the shaft 43 as well as the assemblies 12, 13, is adjustable to a desired height by selectively securing it at an appropriate height on the post 45.
The assembly 13 includes a pair of counter rotatable nip rolls 47, 48. A stepper feed motor 49 is drivingly connected to the nip roll 48 via a chain or cog belt 50. Rotation of the roll 48 in a counter clockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 5 will feed the web 17 along its path 18. Clockwise rotation of the roll 48 is used to retract the web for bag separation in a manner corresponding to that described and claimed in greater detail in the Chicken Bagger Patent.
The assembly includes a depending air director plate 52. When the assembly 13 is in its horizontal position as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the plate 52 is vertical and immediately behind the path of bag travel. The plate 52 includes rearwardly extending flanges 53 which provide stiffening for the plate. In addition the flanges are slotted at 55. A bag support 56 is secured to the flanges 53 by fasteners 57 each of which extends through a selected one of the elongated slots 55. The bag supports are also slotted at 58 so that the bag support is both vertically adjustable relative to the plate 52 and adjustable fore and aft and angularly as indicated by phantom lines in FIG. 5.
An air knife 60 is secured to the plate 52 near its top as viewed in FIGS. 4 and 5. Thus with the assembly 13 in a vertical orientation the knife 60 is immediately below the nip roll 47, 48. The knife 60 is a commercially available knife sold under the trademark Exaire® by Exaire of Cincinnatti, Ohio as Model No. 2006SS.
As the web 17 is fed downwardly along its path of travel, air from the air knife 60 is directed downwardly, as indicated by arrows 61, to develop a film of air between the web and the plate 52. This film provides lubrication which avoids any tendency of the web being fed to stick to the plate 52 due to residue, static electricity or other causes.
Once an end bag 63, FIG. 5, is appropriately located along a path of travel a horn positioning cylinder 64 is actuated. The cylinder 64 shifts horns 65 to a bag opening position indicated in FIG. 5 in a manner corresponding to that described in greater detail in the reference Bulk Packager Patent. Once the horns are in their bag opening position, a clamp cylinder 66 is actuated to clamp retention pad 67 against the positioned bag. This clamping provides support for the bag 63 as a product is deposited in it and also resistance to bag movement for bag separation when the nip rolls are reversed to separate the bags in the manner described in greater detail in the referenced Chicken Bagger Patent.
A bag opening air knife 68 is positioned above the nip rolls to direct air downwardly against the bag 63 as it is brought into its loading position. Air from the bag opening knife 68 functions to sufficiently open the bag to permit the horn 65 to gain entry into the bag opening.
In operation, the web 17 is fed from the .supply station 15 upwardly along the path 18. The feed motor 49 is jogged to feed the web between the nip rolls 47, 48 and thus downwardly. The bag support is adjusted to its desired orientation and adjustments are made between a known web position detector, such as a spark gap detector, (not shown), to assure that the end bag 63 is appropriately orientated downstream from the nip rolls.
Once the machine is set up the feed motor 49 is energized to feed an end bag 63 to the load station. As the end bag is being fed, the air knife 60 is operating to create and maintain a film of air between the bag and the plate 52. Once feed is stopped the bag opening air knife 68 is operating to open the bag 63 and the horn cylinder 64 is then actuated to position the horns in the bag. Momentarily after the horns are positioned, the clamp cylinder 65 is actuated to clamp the bag against the horns. A product is then gravity fed, when the orientation of FIGS. 4 and 5 is employed, into the bag 63. The feed motor 49 is reversed to separate the now loaded bag from the web. The horn cylinder 64 is again energized to return the horns from their bag opening to their storage position and the loaded bag is removed from the machine. Thereafter the feed motor 49 is again energized to feed the web and the cycle is repeated.
The Accumulator/Diverter 20 has an upper inlet open 70 and a spaced pair of outlet openings 71, 72 respectively aligned with the load station assemblies 12, 13. The diverter 20 has a baffle 74 adjustably mounted in its top opening 70. The baffle 74 is preferably curved to coact with conveyor dividers or spacers 75. Successive ones of the divers 75 delineate product spaces 76. As a conveyor belt or chain 77 passes around an end drum 78 one of the dividers 75 coacts with the baffle 74 to retain a product in the succeeding product space 76 after a preceding product has been dropped into the accumulator/diverter 20. Thus, the baffle and the dividers function to provide spacing between successive product discharges from the conveyor into the accumulator/diverter.
The dropping of a product into the accumulator/diverter is sensed by an ultrasonic detector 80. A suitable detector 80 is sold by Hyde Park Superprox under the designation SM500. A product dropping through the diverter 20 is "seen" by the detector 80 via an access port 81 formed in the lower side of an input chute portion 82 of the diverter 20. A signal from the sensor 80 is transmitted to a control (not shown). Assuming the load station assembly 13 has an end bag 63 positioned to receive a product, the sensed product will be discharged through the discharge opening 72.
To accomplish product discharge, a discharge cylinder 84 is actuated to open a diverter door 85 to discharge the product in the diverter through the discharge opening 72. Concurrently, the load station assembly 12 will be operating during a different phase of its cycle to prepare an end bag 63 for receipt of the next product to be discharged from the diverter 20. When the sensor 80 has sensed the deliver of this next product, a discharge actuator 86 will open a diverter door 87 which is a mirror image of the door 85. Opening of the diverter door 87 discharges product through the discharge opening 71 to a positioned bag 63 in the load station assembly 12. This left/right cycle repeats repetitively as the operation of the load station assembly continues in a synchronized manner. In this manner the machine is able to bag products being delivered by a continually operating conveyor 21.
Another of the features of the machine of the present invention relates to programmable imprinters. While the present machine must be capable to withstand cleaning and sterilization, the imprinters are not. Accordingly, a printer enclosure 90 is provided (FIG. 2). When the machine is to be cleaned and sterilized, the imprinter 41 is disconnected from the support section 40. A door 91 of the enclosure 90 is opened and the imprinter is positioned within the enclosure. Once the door 91, and its mirror image equivalent on the opposite side of the enclosure, not shown, are fully closed, the enclosure provides a fluid tight storage chamber for the programmable imprinter 41 and its not shown mirror image counterpart from the other side of the machine.
A feature of the enclosure is a chamfered roof portion 92 which is available because the imprinter has a corresponding sloping chamfered portion 93. These chamfered portions further facilitate a semi nesting relationship between the novel bagging machine of this invention and the conveyor 21.
Although the invention has been described in its preferred form with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure of the preferred form has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, operation and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Tim Sarson, a tax partner at KPMG in the UK, explains why tax professionals should probably ignore much of the noise around 'Brexit', at least for the time being. This clears the path for companies to focus on the changes that really matter.
Since October 2015, authorities have been reacting to the outcome of the BEPS Project. The implementation of new legislation and adaption of existing regulations to match the new OECD guidelines has already begun to impact multinationals worldwide. The undeniable headline change has been a broad move to implement country-by-country reporting (CbCR); however the other policy that stands out from the crowd is in the area of patent boxes, as Joelle Jefferis explains.

Rajshri Thakur Vaidya who is playing the character of Maharani Jayawanta Bai in
Sony TV's popular show Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap is gaining much appreciation with her
character in the show after she rose to fame by playing Saloni's character in Zee TV's
Saath Phere.
TellyBuzz spoke to Rajshri to know about her journey with the show Maharana Pratap so far and her bonding with her on-screen son Faisal.
Talking about her journey with the show, Rajshri told us, "It has been a great journey so far. People are liking the character and the show is doing well. People are watching it religiously and the show has got good reviews. So, I am liking being a part of the show."
Rajshri and Faisal share a great bond off-screen as well and she says, "I have most of the scenes to be enacted with him. The chemistry of a mother son relationship comes out while we perform for any scene together. People like our scenes. Faisal is a very hard working, enthusiastic and a very inquisitive guy. He always questions about the scenes and emotions. He calls me Rani Maa and I call him Pratap off-screen. We both are bonding quite well with each other. I like Faisal's enthusiasm, his inquisitive nature and his energy level which remains the same always even if we are shooting at 12 midnight."
When asked Rajshri about the compliments she is receiving for her character, she told us, "Once I met a person, who said Jayawanta Bai would have been just like you and once a lady told me that her kids tell her to be like Jayawanta Bai (laughs). These are the best compliments I have received so far."
Way to go Rajshri. Keep up the good work!!

My Laminate flooring keeps seperating on ends
Any suggestions, My new laminate flooring keeps spacing out between each other and I have to tap it back into place. I thought about using colored cauking but not sure if that is a good solution. Any suggestions?
was the floor acclimated at least 24 hours to the tempature of the house?
Was it installed professionally?
Was it a "cheap" $1.59 sq ft and under type laminate?
Those are your answers to your problems

River Hill's Charlie Thomas IV, standing 6-foot-7 and weighing in at 230 pounds, has always been an imposing presence on the basketball court. Even as a freshman on varsity four years ago, he had the build of a guy that demanded attention.
But, with his friendly personality and willingness to play from the perimeter his first three years of high school, Thomas was often referred to as a "gentle giant."
This winter, however, he made sure to change all that.
Thomas, who signed his National Letter of Intent before the season to play basketball collegiately for a top-10 nationally-ranked program at the University of Wisconsin, developed a "mean streak" as...

A Closer Look At Music-Related Television This Week
Fine Tuning - Weekly column highlighting music on TV during the week of June 23-29, 2003.Ah, the sounds of summer. There's just so much live music on the tube, and this week most of it will be featured on the daily and nightly talk and news shows.
Friday, as will be the case for the next few months, finds live music on NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America." This week you'll see hot young female artists on both, representing different ends of the musical spectrum. Destiny's Child's Beyonce will strut her solo stuff on "Today," while "GMA" will feature LeAnn Rimes.
Monday night you can choose to rock out with Michelle Branch ("The Late Show With David Letterman" on CBS), Train ("The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on NBC), and Powerman 5000 ("The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn" on CBS).
It's throwback Tuesday on the syndicated "Live With Regis & Kelly," where Don McClean will serve up a slice of his "American Pie." At night, the lovely Liz Phair will rock Leno and Huey Lewis & the News will show up on NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien."
Wednesday, Lonestar's on ABC's "The View," Nick Cave's on with Letterman, P. Diddy, Nelly and Murphy Lee on Leno, and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" has Joe Budden. Incidentally, Jimmy's guest co-host this week is riotous comedian David Cross, who will undoubtedly spark up the proceedings a bit.
It doesn't slow down on Thursday, as Blu Cantrell and Snoop Dogg both guest with Leno, Nelly and Trapt visit Kimmel, Gillian Welch polishes up Conan, Monica stops by Kilborn, and Guster resurfaces on NBC's "Last Call With Carson Daly."
Are you still with me? Good, because Friday, besides the morning concerts, has touring mates Ben Harper and Jack Johnson showing up on Daly's show.
There's a couple of good kudos fests to see too, as all sorts of stars show up for the "3rd Annual BET Awards" on Tuesday and Fox airs the "2003 Essence Awards" on Friday.
Lastly, if your like most of America, one of your favorite pastimes is peering into the private life of Britney Spears. That being the case, check out "The Fabulous Life" on VH1 on Friday, which will focus on the 21-year-old superstar, or the E! channel's "It's Good To Be" on Sunday. Both will put Spears under the microscope for our delight.
For a little more Britney, check out VH1's "50 Greatest Teen Idols of All Time" on Saturday. There you'll see where she stacks up against the likes of David Cassidy, Duran Duran, Andy Gibb, the Jackson 5, Menudo, the Monkees, New Edition, New Kids On The Block, Donny & Marie and so many more.

Posted on 06/01/2002 4:25:00 PM PDT by FourPeas
Manufacturer says high cost of sugar in U.S. prompted exit
Several hundred workers at the Lifesavers candy plant in Holland, Michigan are losing their jobs, as the company moves production to Canada. NBCs Kevin Tibbles reports.
HOLLAND, Mich., May 31 Sometimes steps taken to protect American jobs, however well intentioned, may in fact have exactly the opposite result. Several hundred workers at a Michigan plant that makes Lifesavers candy are losing their jobs because the company is moving production out of the United States. It is a very sour ending, for an all-American city.
THEYRE CALLING it death by sugar. After 35 years, the American candy icon, Lifesavers, is closing its plant in Holland, Mich. Some 600 jobs will be gone by next year.
Thats about a $35 million hit to the local economy, says Mayor Al McGeehan.
Kraft Foods says the high cost of sugar in the United States has forced it to relocate its Lifesavers division to Canada, where sugar is nearly half the price.
And Lifesavers isnt the first candy maker to head for the borders. Others like Chicago-based Brochs, Bobs Candies of Georgia and Jolly Rancher in Chicago are either closing or leaving the country. About 11,000 jobs will be lost in these three companies alone.
Americans consume more than seven billion pounds of candy each year, nearly 30 pounds per person. And candy, like lifesavers, is 98 percent sugar.
These days, even though youre buying a brand of candy you probably grew up with, chances are its been made somewhere else.
If you dont move, youre not going to stay in business here in the United States, says Sal Ferrera, whose father started making candy in Chicago in 1908.
The family makes lemonheads, fireballs, gummy worms and others. Ferrera has opened two plants in Canada and one in Mexico. He plows through two million pounds of sugar a week, and saves as much as 15 cents on every pound by buying it on the world market.
Its really sad that now its not being made by Americans, says Ferrera. Its being made over the borders and being brought back into this country.
But Americas sugar producers say sugar prices dont explain why the candy companies are leaving.
These companies are too embarrassed to acknowledge the real reason that they may be leaving, says Jack Roney of the American Sugar Alliance. And that is to flee American workers, to flee the compulsion to have to pay workers a decent wage.
But the bottom line is the American candy industry is in decay and candy-making towns like Holland are being left with nothing more than the hole in the middle.
Whatever Jack, they will be paying more for labour in Quebec than they were in the states.
I am sure the fact the American sugar industry is catatonic and uncompetitive and entirely dependant on welfare from Washington has nothing to do with it.
Interesting statement - and it's even more interesting that they did not expand on it, since it's the crux of the whole story.
OK class, I won't give any hints since the answer's so easy - who will be the first to do PMSNBC's job and give me the correct answer?
From "SOS" to "SOL", kind of like the saying, "Life sucks and then you die". Ooops...
The tariffs on steel from overseas will save some steel workers jobs, but it is going to cost millions of manufacturing jobs
The laughable tarrif on Canadian wood is going to save some jobs but it is going to hurt the real estate and construction markets.
In both cases, our tarrifs are based on illegal subsides that well, frankly don't exist.
And while we are going postal over fictional subsides overseas, Washington is using our tax dollars as toilet paper with new spending on our very own illegal subsides,
Washington Makes Me Want To Puke,
As long as the intention is good, it cannot be challenged.
I lived in Canada for 7 years, and not even the most liberal of Canadians would tollerate this crap.
why isn't Bush vetoing this garbage, that is his job, that is his ONLY job!
It is time for freepers to come to terms with the fact that Bush is every bit as stupid as the democrats make him out to be.
If you think about it lucidly, all that tariffs have done is make the protected industry more inefficient and unproductive. Thus they become inept bungling corporate messes.
And if you study economic theory, protectionism was proven to be too challenging for most fiscal policies, and is actually out of vogue. Very few nations have been able to pull it off, and those few have been the ones that have managed to use protectionism to improve the protected industry, and once the protection was lifted the industry was very robust and efficient.
However if you look at the examples in the US this is not the case. American protection is basically set up in a manner that only protects American jobs, but does not provide enough incentive for the industry to improve itself. And although the jobs are saved, for now, they soon disappear once the protection is lifted, and the industry is found to be even more inefficient than how it was at the beginning. And all the jobs that had been saved disappear.
Take a look at the steel industry, and compare it to a country like Japan (which is one of the biggest steel exporters in the world). Japan is so efficient that it is in the top tier of steel exporters, even though it DOES NOT have any steel ore or mines whatsoever. It imports the ore, improves on it, and then exports it. The American steel industry on the other hand is pathetic. It is actually miraculous it still exists. And unlike the American Automobile industry which has somehow managed to survive (although I was reading an economic projection that said the Big Three American car makers will be out of business in the decade, or so foreign they are no longer America) , the steel industry seems facing outright extinction!
And all that protectionism will do is prolong the inevitable.
You support tarrifs to protect one industry, you end up hurting others. Protectionists are to stupid and selfish to understand that.
Bush's steel tarrifs will cause many manufacturers that use steel to re-locate over seas and the anti free traders will have only themselves to blame. Idiots.
Neil Cavuto who had this story back in march?! My favorite is the "economist" that estimates Lifesavers' CGS at $.05, of course he shows none of his numbers that he bases that on. If I remember right when Neil had him on the guy was talking about the store sale price, must have forgotten that a lot of that goes to the store.
Because the US government slaps a nearly 100% tarrif on imported sugar in order to keep prices artificially high for US sugar producers.
Thats why sugar is cheaper in Canada which produces absolutely none. Even after paying to import sugar it is still cheaper than domestic US sugar.
Doesn't it make you feel all warm inside knowing you are paying higher prices for everything that has sugar in it so that you can support a bunch of wealthy farmers?
I say it again: when the Democrats get in, it gets worse and when the Repubbys get in, it don't get no better.

The Jolly Rancher Candy Company was founded in Golden, Colorado, by Bill and Dorothy Harmsen in 1949. They called the company Jolly Rancher to suggest a hospitable, western company. The company originally made ice cream, chocolate and hard candy. As hard candy sales grew, however, they began to concentrate on developing their "Famous for Flavor" line of hard candies.
In 1966, the Harmsens sold Jolly Rancher to Beatrice Foods, but the family continued to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the business. Leaf purchased Jolly Rancher in 1983. Hershey Foods Corporation acquired the Leaf North America confectionery operations from Huhtamaki Oy of Helsinki, Finland in 1996.
Lifesavers be damned if they leave America !!!......... Jolly Rancher's.... "FIRE" .... rules !!
Stay Safe !!
I brought this up with the Pat Buchanan crowd and they gave me a nasal, whingeing lecture about how they didn't mind paying extra money for sugar to sustain the important domestic sugar industry. Well here are the results. The next person whom you see advocating protectionism, hit them with this.
Regards, Ivan
Canada produces over 10% of it's own sugar from sugar beets (Alberta). Canadian farmers do not get a sugar beet subsidy The majority of cane is imported from Australia, South America and the Caribbean. Not Cuba.
Unfortunately, not all the farmers are wealthy, but yes, the tarrifs are obviously doing farm more harm than good.
What formed my initial question/confusion was that this situation reminded me of the prescription drug cartel - You can get the EXACT same prescription drugs in Canada for far less than in the US. I didn't know if the Sugar situation was similar or a totally different ball of wax...although in both cases, US consumers are getting the screw.
Actually it would be more accurate to say that Americans can get the exact same drug for less. Believe me, the Canadians are PAYING for it. In effect they subsidize Americans who buy drugs in Canada. Now how right is that?
Of course I'm sure the high cost of compliance with government regulations had no hand in this whatsoever.
Source, please.
If you used Canada as a trans-shipment point, the sugar would not be considered a Canadian product, and thus not protected under NAFTA.
The government should be nowhere around...
But yet, there the government is, making sure they are taking care of the "little guy"....
Instead, the government crucifies the "little guy" by ursurping more and more of his livelyhood to support programs that, instead of helping, do exactly the opposite by creating problems where none previously existed...
The government sacrifices the "little guy" to continue it's own bogus existence...
The problem is that the "little guy" is too stupid to know that it is the government that is killing him, not businesses leaving for greener pastures...
Remember class,
Free enterprise Business solves problems where they actually do exist....
Force backed Government creates problems where they never previously existed...

Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity needs Spanish translators
Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity necesita voluntarios queue hablan español — needs volunteers who can speak Spanish — to serve as translators.
The need is especially great for its Family Support Committee, the group of volunteers who guide and encourage Habitat homebuyers through the process of contributing "sweat equity" and the other steps from poverty housing — slums — to their new home.
Habitat also sometimes needs Vietnamese speakers, as well. To volunteer, call 232-4828.
By the way, can you believe it? Central Oklahoma Habitat will dedicate its 700th home next Wednesday in Yukon's Wagner Lake Estates addition. Way to go. More on that next week.
A commercial:
"Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry working in partnership with God and the community to build simple, decent, affordable housing, and to provide hope for responsible, hardworking, limited income families living in substandard conditions. Homes that Central Oklahoma Habitat builds are purchased at cost — and at no interest — by qualifying limited income families in need of better housing."
As a student at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, I am doing supervised ministry this semester with Habitat and Mayflower Congregational United Church of Christ in Oklahoma City.
A 'Class B' city?
How irksome. Oklahoma City a Big League City? Nope. Not yet in the eyes of commercial real estate people in the rest of the country.
The following came with the announcement of a recent major apartment purchase (duly reported):
"This purchase is in line with (the buyer's) strategy of buying in thriving secondary markets like Oklahoma City, unlike most of its counterparts that target primary locations. (The buyer) has actually found that these 'Class B' locations actually perform just as well, if not better, than their 'Class A' counterparts. Might be an interesting story since the big players always go after those gateway markets ..."
Yes, they actually do, and we are actually proud this buyer noticed. Don't get me wrong. We're glad to be thriving.
Not being on a coast and not having an international hub airport, we're pretty much shut out of "gateway" status. Yes, there still are more hours on the clock than there are things to see, do, eat and drink in and experience here.
We still do not have business and industry that never sleeps. Therein lies Oklahoma City's future.
But come on, watch that "'Class B' snark, will ya?

Snowboarding-An Exciting But Dangerous Sport
Introduction to snowboarding
Snowboarding is a recreational sport that typically involves a person descending down a snowy slope while standing on a board that is primarily attached to a rider's feet. The sport itself was created in the 1960s and eventually became an Olympic sport in 1998.
In regards to sales, snowboards and other related equipment were selling big time in 2007. Unfortunately, after that, sales tumbled and snowboards have been in a huge decline ever since.
The dangers of snowboarding
Like other sports, snowboarding comes with a big risk. If you aren't careful out there on the slopes, you can cause injury to your body or sometimes death can occur as well. Injuries usually occur with beginners since they are relatively new to the sport. Furthermore, if they don't take any lessons with professionals prior to the actual event, they are especially at risk for injury as well.
Common types of injuries associated with snowboarding
Some of the most common types of injuries associated with the sport include: knee, ankle or leg sprains, wrist injuries and in some cases, head injuries as well.
Tips on avoiding injuries and other dangers while out on the slopes
It is always recommended for snowboarders to wear protective helmets at all times, in addition to using eye protection gear to prevent debris from entering their eyes. Also before hitting the slopes, snowboarders should wear boots that are snug and well-fitted so they don't slip and fall in the snow.
Be on the lookout of avalanches while snowboarding or even skiing. They can come out of nowhere and could potentially leave you stranded for days depending on how deep they are.
Snowboarding tips
Listed below are some basic tips for snowboarders to stay safe while out having fun on the slopes.
1). Get started by getting into good physical shape- this means exercising everyday. By getting involved in a regular exercise program, snowboarders will manage to avoid getting serious injuries.
2). Always use the right equipment (see above for more information).
3). Hire a professional instructor and then pick a right place to practice your snowboarding skills. Practice in relatively fair weather where it's not too cold out. Also, it is best to use slopes that aren't crowded and have heavy snow.
Finally, pick out a ski slope that allows snowboarders. For more information, visit http://familydoctor.org/familydoctor/en/prevention-wellness/exercise-fitness/sports-safety/tips-for-snowboarders.html…
Top Reasons To Try Scuba Diving
Scuba diving may be done for a number of reasons. The reefs, the colors, the fish, and the pure enjoyment of discovery are only some of it. If you've been thinking about it and haven't taken the dive yet, here is a top list of reasons to give you that needed push.
1. Adventure
The ocean covers 3/4 of the earth's surface, so that's a big room for adventures. If your goal is to "explore the world" then you'll need to learn to scuba dive.…

is this based on lv2 v2 or the first one?
hey drizzt you da man. way to go.
I been using your gaia manager since you first release it. I like it because of speed, quality, and simplicity. Thank you for the awesome manager.
Hello just installed gaia 2.01. However, i cannot see my games, tho i can see them in multiman.?
My path is hdd0\gamez. It finds the path when installs it, but no games shows up. If i put a disk into the drive it shows it however but nothing more or less than that.
2.01 is freezing my system every other time i run it from cold boot.
I have cecha01 with ofw to kmeaw cfw setup and I had run Gaia 2.00 with no crash and I have been choosing different game with it then I update to 2.01 and still I have no problem with Gaia at all. Been playing around with different game and no problem. Hope that help jurai.
i have one problem with the version 2.01, when i start my ps3 the first time and start Gaia, there is no problem! But if i restart the ps3 and open another time the Gaia it freezed!!
is this problem known? i have delete the 2.0 first and than install the new 2.01 version.
Make sure your using "UP0001-GAIA01985_00-7679866932773369-GAMEZ.pkg" when your games are located in hdd0\GAMEZ. Also delete old gaia from XMB, then install the new one. It shouldn't erase the games folder. Thats the only answers I can see to your problems.
Gaia v2.01 is working perfectly on my cfw. Thanks for this great update.

2 in Vermont accused of collecting dead man's SS checksApril 23,2013
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — Two Vermont men have been charged in separate cases with illegally collecting thousands of dollars in Social Security benefits by covering up deaths.
Michael Rivard, 69, plans to plead guilty to fraud, according to the Burlington Free Press. He's accused of taking about $112,500 from 2005 to 2012.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Driver pleaded guilty March 27 to stealing more than $151,000 from 1999 to 2012.
Driver had power of attorney for the bank account for Margaret Flint, who died in 1998. Benefits continued to be wired into her account.
Driver lives with Flint's grandson, Dalton Flint II. Records showed regular withdrawals from her account in the form of checks made out to and endorsed by Driver for about the same amount as the deposits.
Driver pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.MORE IN This Just In
