The invention relates to a food slicer, and, in particular, to a food slicer adjustable to select a thickness of food sliced and, more particularly, to a food slicer adjustable to maintain a runway and a landing in generally parallel relationship to produce food sliced with a substantially constant cross-section.
Food slicers of a type known as mandoline slicers are well known. Slicers of this type have a knife or blade having a blade body and a leading edge on the blade body for cutting food. The slicer is operated by directing a quantity of food in a direction toward the knife edge to be cut. Under ideal circumstances, the planar blade body would be arranged generally parallel with the direction in which the food is moved.
A bulk quantity of food is typically placed on a support surface, often referred to as a runway, and then slid across the runway toward the blade edge. The blade is offset from the runway, and the offset distance provides a thickness or depth of the cut made in the food as it is pushed into the blade. After the food passes by the blade, the uncut portion passes above the blade and onto a landing, and the sliced portion passes below the blade and separates from the rest of the food bulk.
The blade edge, despite cutting through the food, provides a resistance force. For example, a straight blade edge that is perpendicular or transverse to the direction of cutting may require a relatively high force applied to the food. The straight blade makes a line contact across a square face of the food bulk, and the entire blade edge enters the food bulk at generally the same time. To ease the entrance of the blade into the food, it is known to set the blade edge at an angle from the direction of cutting. This allows a first portion of the blade to enter the food at the oblique angle, and the rest of the blade edge trails and enters subsequent to the first portion, thus requiring a lower initial force to begin a cut of the bulk food. However, the resistance between the blade and the food results in a force that tends to direct or push the food to one side of the slicer.
This issue may be remedied by providing a pair of blade edges, the blade edges set oblique to the direction of cutting but opposite to each other. For instance, the blade often is arranged with a pair of blade edges that form a V-shape, and food is directed toward the center of the intersection of the blade edges in the center of the blade. The lateral forces on the food as a result of the resistance from the blade passing through the food are balanced between the blade edges, each edge tending to force the food towards the other blade edge, directing the food inwardly towards the center of the blade.
In order to select a slice thickness, some mandoline slicers are adjustable. That is, the slicer is adjustable so that the offset between the blade and the runway may be selected. However, this adjustment presents a number of issues.
First, the plane of the blade may not remain parallel to the runway, instead tilting somewhat. This results in an increase in resistance, requiring the user to have to exert a greater force to overcome the resistance. In detail, if the blade edge is angled or tilted upward relative to the landing, the blade tends to pull the food downward. This downward pull causes greater friction or resistance between the food and the runway, and may compress the food as it passes towards the blade. This results in a slice in which the trailing portion gradually increases so that the cross-section of the slide is not even or constant. Conversely, a blade angled upward will cause the food to lift upward resulting in a slice where the trailing portion gradually decreases, and the slice again has an uneven cross-section.
Additional issues arise when the adjustable slicer includes a V-shaped blade. In order to match the V-shape of the blade, the runway has a V-shaped end. If the runway is simply tilted downward to increase the thickness of the cut portion, for instance, the offset between the blade edge and the runway varies from a maximum at the apex of the V-shapes to a minimum at the forward-most portion of the V-shapes.
Various attempts have been made to address these problems by adjusting the runway relative to a co-planar blade and landing so as to maintain the runway in a plane generally parallel to the blade. One example of such a slicer is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,732,622, to Vincent. The '622 patent shows a ramp, or runway, that is raised or lowered so that it generally remains parallel to a landing. The ramp is shifted by a pair of locking screws on the sides of a frame. The screws must be properly adjusted, relative to each other, or the ramp will end up tilted to one side. The slicer also requires a number of steps, as the screws must be loosened, the ramp shifted by eye to a desired position for a slice thickness, and then each screw must be tightened. This makes fine tuning of the slice thickness difficult. Furthermore, the ramp is secured via laterally extending pegs received in oblique holes so that the ramp actually moves horizontally relative to the blade edge, thus resulting in less precision with cutting.
Another design is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,765,572, to Kim. This system has a single adjusting nut, so it is easier to operate than the slicer of the '622 patent. However, the ramp or sizing plate shifts horizontally relative to the blade in the same manner as the '622 patent.
Accordingly, there has been a need for an improved mandoline-type food slicer.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a food slicer for slicing food advanced in a cutting direction is disclosed having a blade for cutting the food to form a slice thereof, the blade substantially defining a plane and secured on a landing, and the blade having a blade edge facing opposite the cutting direction, the landing receiving food thereon after it passes by the blade, a runway for supporting the food thereon prior to and as the food passes by the blade, and an adjustment mechanism for simultaneously moving the runway and landing to adjust a vertical offset between the blade edge and the runway to select a thickness of the food slice. The blade edge and a downstream edge of the runway may have a horizontal spacing, and the landing and runway may be adjustable so that the horizontal spacing remains generally constant. The horizontal alignment may include the blade edge and downstream edge being separated by a horizontal distance, the landing and runway being adjustable so that the horizontal distance remains generally constant.
The runway and landing may be pivotally adjustable. More specifically, the landing and runway may have respective decks, each preferably generally planar, and each of the decks are oppositely pivotable to adjust a distance between the blade on the landing and the runway. The runway may be pivotable about an upstream end while the landing is pivotable about a downstream end, together the landing and runway being adjustable so that the planes of the runway deck and the blade remain substantially parallel.
The food slicer may include a frame for supporting the runway and landing. The frame may include pivot stubs upstream of the blade, and the runway may include recesses for receiving the pivot stubs, together defining a pivot axis for the runway. The slicer may include an axle downsteam of the blade, and the landing may include hooks positioned around the axle to define a pivot axis for the landing.
The adjustment mechanism may cooperate with both the runway and landing to simultaneously adjust the positions of each so that an offset between the blade and landing, or thickness for the food slice, may be selected. Preferably, the adjustment mechanism is rotatable to adjust the runway and landing positions. In some forms, the adjustment mechanism includes a first cam cooperating with the runway and a second cam cooperating with the landing, the cams being rotatable to pivot the runway and landing in opposite directions to select the offset between the blade edge and the runway.
Preferably, the vertical offset is generally constant in a direction lateral to the cutting direction so that the slice thickness is generally constant.
In another aspect, a food slicer is disclosed having a blade with a blade edge, a landing, a runway, and an adjustment mechanism for selecting a vertical offset between the blade edge and the runway to select a thickness of the food slice, the adjustment mechanism having at least a first cam portion for adjusting the vertical offset. The adjustment mechanism may include the first cam portion as well as a second cam portion, the cam portions respectively cooperating with the runway and landing for adjusting the vertical offset. The cam portions are rotated to adjust the relative position of the runway and landing to adjust the vertical offset for the thickness of food sliced. The cam portions pivot the runway and landing simultaneously relative to the slicer to adjust the vertical offset. Preferably, the offset is generally constant in a direction lateral to the cutting direction so that the slice thickness is generally constant.
In some forms, the adjustment mechanism includes a central portion on which the first cam portion and a second cams portion are positioned, the central portion being rotatable to rotate the first and second cam portions to pivot the runway and landing in opposite directions to select the offset between the blade edge and the runway. The landing may include a generally planar deck, the runway may include a generally planar deck, and the cam portions may pivot the landing and runway so that the runway deck and landing deck remain substantially parallel.
In another aspect, a food slicer is disclosed having a slicing blade oriented generally transverse to the cutting direction having a blade edge, a landing for receiving the food after the food passes over the blade edge, an insert, a runway for supporting the food prior to the food passing over the blade edge, the runway including structure for retaining the insert on a top side of the runway, the structure permitting removal of the insert therefrom for replacement of the insert, and a storage bay for storing the insert. The storage bay includes resiliently deflectable retention portions for releasably securing the insert in the storage bay. The storage bay is preferably located on a bottom portion of the food slicer, the bottom portion being movable relative to the food slicer to allow access to the storage bay from a top side of the food slicer. The insert may include a set of blades oriented generally orthogonal to the slicing blade, such as a julienne insert or a cubing insert.
In another aspect, a food slicer including an insert for cubing or julienning or the like is disclosed having a blade, a landing, and a runway for supporting the food prior to the food passing over the blade, the runway including structure for removably retaining the insert on a top side of the runway, and a storage bay for storing the insert on a bottom portion of the food slicer. The bottom portion is movable relative to the food slicer to allow access to the storage bay from a top side of the food. The bottom portion may be formed on, for instance, the landing or the runway.
Referring initially to
The slicer 10 includes a frame 20 supporting the runway 12 and landing 14. A rear end 22 of the frame 20 includes a handle 24 for ease of transport as well as for steadying the slicer 10 during use, and a stand 26 that is pivotally connected to the frame 20 so that the rear end 22 may be raised up during use of the slicer 10. Both the runway 12 and landing 14 are pivotally supported by the frame 20, as will be discussed in greater detail below, so that the runway 12 and landing 14 may be pivotally adjusted relative to the frame 20, as well as to each other, to permit selection of the slice thickness T for food being cut by the slicer 20.
The slicer 10 includes a V-shaped blade 30 having a blade edge 32 and being secured with the landing 14 on a top side thereof for use. The blade 30 is substantially a planar member secured on an upstream end 34 of a deck 36 of the landing 14. The landing deck 36 is also substantially planar and, preferably, substantially co-planar with the blade 30. The runway 12 also has a substantially planar deck 38 on which an amount of food to be sliced, referred to herein as a food bulk, is initially placed. Both the runway deck 38 and the landing deck 36 include upstanding ridges 40 which assist in moving the bulk food along the decks 36, 38 by preventing sticking and an 'airlock' condition during operation. It should be noted that the blade edge 32 is positioned relatively close to a downstream end 64 of the runway 12 and an insert 130 (described below), as best seen in
During operation, the food bulk placed on the runway deck 38 is advanced towards the blade edge 32. As a portion of the food bulk comes into contact with the blade edge 32, the blade 30 begins to cut into the food bulk to form a slice. Once the entire food bulk has passed by the blade edge 32, the slice is completed and is separated from the food bulk by passing underneath the blade 30.
To enable this operation, the blade edge 32 is positioned at the offset or thickness T (
Selection of a slice thickness T is made by rotating the adjustment knob 16 to pivot or rotate the runway 12 about its upstream end 44 and to rotate the landing 14 about its downstream end 46. As can be seen in
To form this axis, the recesses 50 receive pivot stubs 58 formed on the frame 20. In greater detail, the frame 20 includes opposed frame sides 60 with interior surfaces 60 a. The pivot stubs 58 are located on the interior surfaces 60 a proximate an upstream end 62 of the frame 20, as can be seen in
The shape of the pivot stubs 58 helps avoid the runway 12 inadvertently coming off the pivot stubs 58. The dimension between the arc portions 58 b is greater than the width of the runway slot 56. In order for the recesses 50 to receive the stubs 58, or for the runway 12 to be removed from the stubs 58, the straight sides 58 a must be generally aligned with the runway slot 56. To locate the recesses 50 on the pivot stubs 58, the runway 12 is oriented above the frame 20 with the slot 56 aligned with the recess sides 58 a and then advanced until the stubs 58 are within the recess circle portion 54. The runway 12 is then rotated approximately 110� around the stubs 58 so that its downstream end 64 pivots towards the landing 14 to a position generally between the frame sides 60, as shown in
As noted, the landing 14 is also rotatable around its downstream end 46 to adjust the landing 14 for slice thickness. In greater detail, the landing 14 is pivoted so that the thickness T or offset between the blade edge 32, secured on the landing deck 36, and the runway deck 38 is adjusted or selected. The landing downstream end 46 includes a pair of pivot hooks 70 (
When the landing 14 is assembled with the frame 20, the hooks 70 receive a landing axle 88 located on the frame 20 near its downstream end 89, about which the landing 14 is rotated for selecting the slice thickness T. To assemble, the landing 14 is oriented so the pivot openings 76 may receive the landing axle 88 without the landing side frames 82 interfering with the frame sides 60, such as in a vertical orientation or an up-side down orientation with the pivot openings 76 of the hooks 70 facing downward. The landing 14 is advanced towards the landing axle 88 until the axle 88 is within the pivot openings 76, and then is rotated around the landing axle 88 to the assembled position. The landing side frames 82 are generally channel-shaped so that, when rotated to the assembled position, the frame sides 60 are partially received within the landing side frames 62, as shown in
When the slicer 10 is assembled, each of the runway 12 and landing 14 is pivotable by the adjustment knob 16. Broadly speaking, the adjustment knob 16 is rotatable to pivot the runway 12 and landing 14 through a range of relative positions. The knob 16 may be rotated so that the runway 12 and landing are in a locked position, shown in
To pivotally adjust the runway 12 and landing 14, the adjustment knob 16 is secured or integral with a cam axle 100, shown in
The cam axle 100 includes a runway cam 110 and a pair of landing cams 112, the runway cam 110 engageable with the runway 12 while the landing cams 112 are engageable with the landing 14. The runway cam 110 is positioned generally in the center of the cam axle 100, while a first landing cam 112 a is positioned proximate the adjustment knob 16 and a second landing cam 112 b is positioned proximate the bearing portion 106. As can be seen in
The runway 12 includes structure for receiving and cooperating with the runway cam 110, best seen in
In operation, the adjustment knob 16 is simply rotated to pivotally adjust the position of the runway 12 and landing 14, the cooperating cam portions of the runway 12, landing 14, and cam axle 100 being programmed so that the amount of pivoting for the runway 12 and landing 14 adjust the thickness T of a slice of the food bulk while maintaining the planes of the runway 12 and the blade 30 in a substantially parallel relationship.
With specific reference to
The cam axle 100 may be rotated to a second use position, shown in
A third use position is represented in
It should be noted that the runway 12 and landing 14 may be relatively pivoted to a plurality of positions intermediate a minimum and maximum thicknesses T, and the positions shown in
Lastly, a release position is shown in
It should be noted that, in reverse operation, the landing cams 112 lower the landing 14 through cooperation and engagement with the landing cam hook 114 a, and the runway cam 110 raises the runway 12 by camming against the cam surfaces 122 a, 122 b.
It should also be noted that the cam axle 100 may be retained in each of these positions. That is, discrete detents may be provided for the cam axle 100 relative to the frame 20 supporting the cam axle 100 so that the positions of the runway 12 and landing 14 are not accidentally or inadvertently shifted during slicing operation of the slicer 10. Additionally, stops (not shown) may be provided to limited the amount of rotation of the cam axle 100, and thus to define end points of a range of thickness T. However, the range of motion of the cam axle 100 may be specified to allow the thickness T to be negative. In other words, the runway 12 and landing 14 may be relatively pivoted so that the blade edge 32 is positioned below the plane of the runway 12, which serves to protect the blade edge 32 during storage and reduces accidental contact therewith by a user's hands when the slicer 10 is being handled without being used to slice a food bulk. In such a position, the runway 12 and landing 14 may be locked, as described herein.
Because the runway 12 is easily pivotable, it can be manually pivoted upward to allow access to its bottom side 12 a, shown best in
The slicer 10 may be provided with a plurality of runway inserts 130, as shown in
With reference to
The cubing insert 130 c, also shown in
As noted, the inserts 130 may be secured with the top side 12 b of the runway 12 and stored on the bottom side 12 a of the runway 12. An opening 150 is formed on the top side of the runway 12 b (
Each storage bay 140 allows an insert 130 to be snapped into a storage position. As a result of the V-shape, the insert 130 has a pair of legs 180, each of which has an end 182. Each storage bay 140 is generally V-shaped to have leg openings 184 corresponding to each of the insert legs 180. At an end 188 of each leg opening 184, a short wall 190 is formed that extends over and somewhat closes the opening end 188. Along the sides of the leg openings 184 are resiliently deflectable arms 192 having fingers 194 formed thereon. To store an insert 130 in one of the storage bays 140, the insert legs ends 182 are first positioned within the leg openings 184 within the walls 190, and the insert 130 is then rotated toward the arms 192. The insert 130 is then pressed against the fingers 194 so that the arms 192 are forced outward to allow the insert 130 to pass. Once the insert 130 is fully positioned within the openings 184, the arms 192 are free to return toward their natural position so that the fingers 194 are in interference positions with the bottom side 162 of the insert 130. To release the insert 130, the tab 164 is pulled outward thereby forcing the arms 192 outward and clear of the insert 130.
With the provided construction, the inserts 130 may be easily accessed, stored, and selectively secured with the runway 12. During operation of the slicer 10, it may be desirable to change the insert 130 to change the operation. By allowing the runway 12 to be pivoted upward, the entire slicer 10 need not be rotated to change the insert 130. Additionally, the on-board storage provides positive structure for retaining the inserts 130, minimizing risk of the inserts 130 becoming separated from the slicer 10 or lost, and does so without increasing the size of the slicer 10.
As noted above, the V-shaped blade 30 may be secured with the landing 14 on a top side thereof for use. It should be noted that the blade 30 is, preferably, secured within a blade cartridge 230, and the cartridge 230 may secured to the top side of the landing 14 for use, and secured with a bottom side of the landing 14 for storage. With reference to
As can be seen in
To secure the blade cartridge 230 with the cartridge seat 232, front tips 246 of the sidewalls 234 are placed into recesses 250 formed in the side frames 86 (see
A similar operation is performed to secure the blade cartridge 230 on the bottom of the landing 14. With reference to
While the invention has been described with respect to specific examples including presently preferred modes of carrying out the invention, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous variations and permutations of the above described systems and techniques that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

State of New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department
May 26, 2011
IN THE MATTER OF SELENA O., AN INFANT. CLINTON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, RESPONDENT; TRISHA O., RESPONDENT,v.STEVEN R., APPELLANT.
Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Clinton County (Lawliss, J.), entered November 19, 2009, which granted petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article 10, to award permanent custody of the child to the grandmother.
Calendar Date: April 28, 2011
Before: Rose, J.P., Malone Jr., McCarthy, Garry and Egan Jr, JJ.
Petitioner commenced this proceeding seeking to have custody of respondents' child (born in 2008) awarded to the maternal grandmother. In the course of the proceedings, the parties came to an agreement that custody be granted to the grandmother with supervised visitation to respondents. Family Court thereafter entered an order reflecting the parties' agreement and respondent Steven R. (hereinafter the father) now appeals.
As the order was entered upon consent, it is not appealable (see Matter of Mary UU. [Michael UU.-Marie VV.], 70 AD3d 1227, 1228 [2010]; Matter of Moore v Moore, 56 AD3d 982, 982 [2008]; Matter of Fantasia Y., 45 AD3d 1215, 1215 [2007]). Moreover, because he failed to make a motion to vacate the order, the father's claim that his consent was not knowing, voluntary and intelligent is not properly before us (see Matter of Mary UU. [Michael UU.-Marie VV.], 70 AD3d at 1228; Matter of McDonald v Reed, 68 AD3d 1181, 1182 [2009], lv dismissed 14 NY3d 758 [2010]; Matter of Fantasia Y., 45 AD3d at 1215) and, in any event, such assertion is belied by the record. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed and counsel's application to be relieved of his assignment need not be addressed (see Matter of Marshall v Haas, 74 AD3d 1593, 1593-1594 [2010]; Matter of Michaela PP. [Derwood PP.], 67 AD3d 1083, 1084 [2009]).
Rose, J.P., Malone Jr., McCarthy and Egan Jr., JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs.

Why didn't IKEA think of this sooner? The global master of flat-pack packaging has been selling desks, tables, beds, chairs and just about everything else in rectangular boxes for years. Now it's getting into something that just naturally lends itself to a nice, neat flat package -- solar panels.
IKEA is starting its entry into the home power business in Britain but says it has plans to market renewable energy options worldwide. The system for an average-sized British home will sell for about US$9,200, including installation and maintenance.
"In the past few years the prices on solar panels have dropped, so it's a really good price now," IKEA Chief Sustainability Officer Steve Howard said. "It's the right time to go for the consumers."
IKEA is also going green in the design of its stores. It recently announced plans to incorporate geothermal technology into the heating and cooling system of its future Kansas City-area store now under construction in Merriam, Kansas. The system – which will be the largest such project in Kansas or Missouri – is expected to be operational when IKEA Merriam opens in the fall of 2014. A Denver-area IKEA opened with geothermal in 2011.
"Using geothermal in our Kansas City-area store reflects our commitment to sustainable building practices whenever feasible," said Mike Ward, IKEA U.S. president.
"Fortunately, this location provides an opportunity to maximize IKEA Merriam's renewable energy potential."
This closed-loop ground source heat pump system involves drilling 180 boreholes – six inches in diameter and 600 feet deep – into the earth across part of the 19-acre IKEA parcel. Pipes placed into these boreholes will form an underground network of loops for circulating 36,000 gallons of heat-transferring liquid (a water-based, anti-freeze solution) connected to 64 forced-air heat pumps to cool and heat the store.
The system also includes five hot-water heatpumps to provide potable hot water needed for the store's lavatory and restaurant operations.
What's next? Maybe IKEA will sell do-it-yourself home geothermal systems. All you need is a big drill and a couple of free weekends.

It looks like Anchor Bay is wishing everyone a "Blu" Christmas as it releases a wide variety of films ranging from The Alphabet Killer to Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon to Walled In to Cyclops to Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer onto Blu-ray for the first time. Now that's a lot of cerulean!
But that's just the beginning of this week's home video treasures. There's also a Coraline gift set that, along with the contents featured in the existing Blu-ray release, includes a set of postcards and a book titled Getting Things Right, giving Henry Selick's insights into inspiration, process, and production of the movie. Fans of Takashi Miike's Gozu will want to check out the new two-disc Collector's Edition of the film, and those of you who have stuck by the TV show Lost but haven't yet picked up the series on DVD will be tempted by the Seasons 1-5 box set.
The rest are mostly unknown entities like The Skeptic, Screams in the Night, Plaguers, InAlienable, and The Lights. Definitely proceed with caution and at your own risk with regard to these and the others on the list.

Town looking to install new wellJanuary 03,2014Town looking to
install new well
SUTTON The Vermont town of Sutton is looking to install a new well.
The Caledonian Record reported that the Select Board recently reviewed a proposal that would have it borrow up to $150,000 for the replacement of the village water systems well. High nitrate levels are the reason the water system has been a concern for much of 2013.
The proposal estimates it would go to voters by Oct. 30 and the new well would be completed by Aug. 30, 2015.
Sutton has not charged residents on the water system for several quarters due to the water not being drinkable by pregnant women or children. The water can be used for washing, showers and by adults.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Work Samples
Marie-Helene L. Grabman is one of the few fine artists executing original works of scissor-cut paper - "Scherenschnitte". She first learned cutting techniques from her grandmother. Later, from studies of electronic and print journalism at the University of Detroit, then as a TV news professional, she mastered the concepts to design in a medium that contrasts mirror images and asymmetry.
A serious student of Scherenschnitte, she combines both secular and religious influences of European development and American heritage. She uses only scissors to create each refined, uniquely detailed, graceful work. While she completes simple cutting in hours, intricate work can require a year to fully develop.
Marie-Helene was one of 5 American scissor cutters invited to show her work at the Swiss National Museum, Zurich, Switzerland, in an exhibition devoted to contemporary American interpretation of the work- "Going West: Swiss Folk Art in America".
In 1999, she was asked to create an ornament for theWhite House Christmas tree. It is in their permanent collection.
She is listed in Early American Life's "Directory of the 200 Best American Craftsmen" (yearly since 1991). She was awarded EAL's 1st ever "Heritage Award". Her work has been awarded as an "Editor's Choice" selection in Better Homes and Gardens. Other awards: Best of Show, Art and Apples, Rochester, MI.; Best of Show, Art in the Park, Birmingham, MI; Best of Show, Art in the Park, BLowing Rock, NC; Award of Excellence, Frederick Festival of the Arts; Honorary Award, East Lansing Art Festival; 2nd Place Award, Artsplosure, Raleigh, NC; Award of Merit, Mainsail Arts Festival, St. Petersburg, FL; Honorable Mention, Springfest, Charlotte, NC; 2nd Place, Shrimp Festival, Amelia Island, FL; Exhibitor Choice Award, Piccolo Spoleto, Charleston, SC; etc.She exhibits in annual gallery exhibitions and SHOWS

Slide to see the images
We found Maggie wandering in our new neighborhood. We have circulated her picture for the past month and no one has claimed her. She is a chunky one so it is clear that she was well fed. She has been fixed and is about 3 – 4 years old. She mixes well with the other pets so she would integrate well with a family that has dogs and/or cats. With two cats, a dog and five humans in the house we just can't take on another full time pet. Maggie is house trained and would make a good addition to a family that has some room in their pet stable. She appears to be in good health other than her weight.You can email me at email@example.com or text me at 305-504-4107 to arrange a meeting at our home in Boca.

An acorn is a nut of the oak tree. Many animals are dependent on the acorns.
The acorn, or oak nut, is the nut of the oaks and their close relatives (genera Quercus and Lithocarpus, in the family Fagaceae). It usually contains a single seed (rarely two seeds), enclosed in a tough, leathery shell, and borne in a cup-shaped cupule. Acorns vary from 1-6 cm long and 0.8-4 cm broad. Acorns take between about 6 and 24 months (depending on the species) to mature; see List of Quercus species for details of oak classification, in which acorn morphology and phenology are important factors. Acorns play an important role in forest ecology when oaks are the dominant species or are plentiful. The volume of the acorn crop may vary wildly, creating great abundance or great stress on the many animals dependent on acorns and the predators of those animals.

I believe as a photographer you need to do everything possible to capture the image as close to perfect in the camera. I feel people who manipulate the image excessivly with software are "Graphic Artists" and not true photgraphers.
Submitted by Clint Gustafson (not verified) on June 5, 2011 - 4:30pm
There are some things that can't be done in software. Polarizing is one. ND grad can be simulated with multiple exposures and HDR, but it's a lot of unnecessary work when you can get it right in camera.

Nearly Naked Diet: Fantastic! This popcorn tastes great and is a wonderfully filling snack throughout the day. My husband calls it his nearly naked diet and has lost 28 pounds in the past six months by substituting this for his old snack items.– Posted on April 16, 2016
The popcorn was good, however there were lots of pieces of kernels, not whole kernels and that was good. I could not eat too much at one time due to the salt—I have to cut back on eating salt. By the way do you sel...
the freshest popcorn ever. the perfect amount of salt.
Great fresh taste with just the right amount of salt. Perfect value also. Will most definitely purchase again.
Let me say first of all I was surprised at how big a 4oz+ bag of popcorn is and there were 10 of them.
This is such a delicious tasting popcorn.
Great taste.
It does not have a lot of flavor, thus nearly naked. It does not retain its freshness. Would not order again.
Dear Momof2: We'll contact you for a replacement or refund.
Love the free shipping. best popcorn ever
Nearly Naked is addictive & absolutely, hands down the best popcorn
good taste. good quality. low calorie.
This is the best low fat, low calorie popcorn I have ever tasted. Years of searching for one that did not taste like the bag or the box. Nearly Naked handled my popcorn addiction without the added fat and calories. Lo...

Having unwanted fat in different locations of your body can have a significant influence on your health and self-esteem. While traditional weight-loss through exercise and diet is a terrific way to slim down in general, even the best exercises can't target issue areas like the tummy, inner thighs, arms, and buttocks. Liposuction is a time evaluated treatment that is used to get rid of excess fat from particular locations of the body, allowing a specific to form and contour their body to their taste. Is liposuction right for you? Find out now.
Pros of Liposuction
There are many advantages to this cosmetic procedure, consisting of:
• Right away visible modifications. Unlike traditional weight-loss, liposuction produces changes that are immediately noticeable in the body. Some difference is obvious immediately, and the desired outcomes are normally accomplished in simply a couple of days.
• Proven and safe. This cosmetic treatment has been performed by skilled cosmetic surgeons all over the world for years and the technique has actually been refined over and again to be safe and effective.
• Recovery time is usually quickly. The downtime required after having this type of procedure is usually much less than exactly what is needed for other kinds of cosmetic treatments, including tummy tucks, breast reduction, and more. Individuals who have had the treatment can typically return to work much more rapidly than they anticipated and can get back to living a healthy, active way of life.
• Weight reduction can be long-term. With the right maintenance strategies, the fat that was gotten rid of during the liposuction treatment will not return.
• Complete control over your physique. With liposuction, a person can have complete control over how they wish to look, beyond what conventional diet and workout can provide. Giving people this power over their bodies enhances self-confidence and assistance individuals feel their best.
While there are numerous advantages to liposuction, there are of course a couple of cautions that need to be taken into consideration prior to making the final decision to progress with the procedure.
Cons of Liposuction
Prior to having actually liposuction done, it is very important to analyze the prospective disadvantages of the procedure and figure out if the advantages outweigh the dangers in your specific case. Your specialist can help you learn more about the risks associated with the procedure and can help you choose if moving on is the ideal thing for you.
• Issues with basic anesthesia. Since liposuction is performed under basic anesthesia, the procedure carries the exact same dangers as other type of surgical treatment where basic anesthesia is used. Underlying medical conditions may increase these threats.
• Unfavorable responses. Bruising, bleeding, and pain are all to be expected, however, in unusual cases can trigger more significant issues.
• The prospective to acquire the weight back. After having liposuction done, it is important to maintain a healthy diet plan and exercise correctly as recommended by your physician. Failure to do so might result in getting back the weight that was lost or perhaps even more.
There are threats associated with liposuction, for lots of people, the advantages far exceed them. Educate yourself about the procedure by having in-depth discussions with your surgeon and think about how liposuction has the prospective to affect you as an unique individual. Only you and your surgeon can determine if liposuction will provide you with the outcomes you are trying to find within your expectations.

Challenging the rate-state asperity model: Afterslip following the 2011 M9 Tohoku-oki, Japan, earthquake
[1] Prior to the 2011 M9 Tohoku-oki earthquake, subduction at the Japan Trench was characterized by M7-8 earthquakes, sometimes rupturing the same source regions (seismic asperities), followed by extensive afterslip detected by GPS measurements. A physically-based model consisting of velocity-weakening asperities surrounded by aseismic creep on velocity-strengthening regions (the 'rate-state asperity model') became the prevailing conceptual model for earthquakes in this region. Theory and numerical simulation indicates that velocity-weakening areas do not exhibit sustained afterslip, while velocity-strengthening regions do not accumulate stress interseismically. Here we demonstrate that the rate-state asperity model is contradicted by models of postseismic deformation following the Tohoku-oki earthquake: afterslip in the first eight months either occurred on historical seismic asperities or stress accumulated in regions surrounding the asperities. Unsmoothed inversions of cumulative 8-month postseismic GPS displacements that restrict afterslip to areas outside of historical ruptures cannot fit the data without afterslip exceeding the slip that fully relaxes the coseismic stress change. In contrast, similarly constrained inversions allowing slip within historical ruptures can satisfactorily fit the postseismic displacements. These results require a modification of the rate-state asperity model and raise new questions about physical processes and properties of the subduction interface.

Five Essentials To Know about NYC
Bloomingdales at 3rd avenue and 59th is somewhat of a NYC institution along with Macys down on Herald square but has a far better environment (and subsequently higher prices) due to the fact that Macys is a real bargain basement store now with crowds more like Penn Station at peak times. The one thing that let it down for me...
Worth a visit especially near Christmas as Christmas shop was open. Staff friendly and visitors get 10% off anything purchased. The little brown bags are sold here which are about 20 dollars. You can't go to New York and not look in here.
Fab department store experience. Extensive range of everything imaginable. Go to the Tourist desk first to get a discount voucher then get 10% off what you buy. If you are looking for Little Brown Bags then ask for the dedicated section that sells them. All the Little Brown and Medium Brown things are here.
Found Macy's more enjoyable. Went on Black Friday and Bloomingdales just didn't have any atmosphere.
Beautiful space belied the poor food. Good server, but when I told him about my poor Eggs Benedict, nothing. I ordered them with a Crab Cake, which was excellent. But the English muffin was raw and the eggs well done. A watered down Bloody Mary and $35.00 bucks later I left never to darken their door step again.
This is a fun place to go even if you don't plan on buying anything. It's fun to walk around and see the upscale shopping experience. I went in to buy a scarf and realized things were separated (at least on the ground floor) by designers. So I wasn't able to go to one place in the store and shop...
My wife goes to the back of the women's dresses section & finds some really good buys. But really, the reason to go is just to "window" shop.... it's an old style department store with plenty of couturiers represented here. Fun to just wander & peek at the styles. And maybe find a bargain along the way.
Huge variety of things to buy and a place to suit all budgets.
Staff are extremely helpful and attentive.
Beautiful Christmas decorations...
Popped in here for a couple of presents (of the cheaper variety).
It's so much nicer here away from the bustle of 5th Avenue!
Mid morning Monday so we had the place to ourselves, most staff really helpful if only to point where the exit was... Plenty of sale goods on display but well laid out with signboards.
I just loved this store! I loved the assistants as they were so helpful and helped me find the perfect present to take home for my Mum. I also loved the fact that that there was a special little place for all the Brown bags of Bloomingdale's sales! I would love to have more time in this store but we...

National security experts were quick to express doubt about North Korea's claim that it tested its first hydrogen bomb on Wednesday. This chart explains why: The seismic effects of the explosion are too similar to previous explosions, in 2013, 2009, and 2006, which were all confirmed as underground nuclear tests. A true hydrogen bomb would have caused a larger seismic reading.
- The Butterfly
Must be getting jealous of all the ISIS talk.
- Shebel
Why not just drop a very small, atomic bomb on this fat little fuck–
You know—sort of like a 'wake-up' call
- Justin St.Denis
A lovely idea. I also like the idea of urinal cakes manufactured in his image. I personally would love to piss in his face every time I visit Timmy's.
Give the North Koreans protein and rusty meat hooks. Show them any South Korean soap opera so that they know what is missing. Bribe the generals who are already scheming to rid the world of this maniacal fatty to let these starving masses in Kim's palace. Let nature take its course.
- Shebel
He sure does act like a Muslim.
There's also the possibility that there was no bomb test at all — North Korea just happened to have a minor earthquake and they saw the propaganda opportunity. Because that's the way they roll.
- AlanUK
This all seems to be what I said yesterday!

If the exact wording from NK did not include "fusion" then all sorts of word games could be on offer with varying degrees of reality attached. A bit of tritium stuck in the centre would sort of qualify any explosion as a hydrogen bomb. Sort of.
- Katyn
It's called boosting and is pretty standard in modern fission designs. The bit of fusion that occurs floods the fissioning plutonium with extra neutrons and thus boosts the yield. You're talking a factor you can count on your fingers, not the orders of magnitude a true staged fusion device would yield.
- Millie_Woods
I won't feel safe until there's consensus in the science community and Obama assures us that North Korea has been contained.
- Shebel
The only people Obama wants to contain are either White or Jewish.
- Cat-astrophe
Hey folks, relax. It was only a nuke, not a hydrogen bomb, lol.
By the way, The Chairman takes a natural Kilroy was here photo.
- Gotterdammerung141
Well I'm so glad to hear that NKorea doesn't have full blown H bombs, just the capacity to build regular every day nukes. Thank God for that I guess.
- ntt1
Lets just air drop alan alda armed with a few pounds of gruyere cheese for the Pyongyang dough boy. it may accomplish nothing but it would be fun.
Put sanctions on China, North Korea's benefactor.
- Barrington Minge
This is all semantics. The Little Porkster has a bomb and that is bad enough!!!

I should declare an interest. As a cartoonist, I think the world would be a much better place with a lot more cartoons in it: in magazines, books, papers, on internet sites. I am also a fan of Polyp, whose work appears regularly in publications that champion the cause of the have-nots against the powerful. His latest offering, Speechless, is a hugely ambitious project, namely to present an entire history of the world, in cartoons, without (as the name implies) words. I think he pulls it off.
It's a tremendous piece of work simply in terms of the amount of drawing required. It's clever and well-researched, and is a truly original way of showing us our history and our possible future. The humour is biting. Though it can be a bit bleak at times, I suppose human history is not necessarily a laugh a minute.
Polyp covers a lot of ground, but, as is inevitable in a 99-page history of the world, without words, he misses some things out. There is no mention, for instance, of Cheryl Cole's sublime new single, or Simon Cowell's trousers. Apart from that it's pretty comprehensive. Religion, the industrial revolution, the spread of capitalism, war, famine, plague, environmental catastrophe and lots of other trivia gets a mention.
My only reservation about this is with the way Polyp gets around not using words, which, while mostly clever and inventive, occasionally falls into the trap of using symbols to replace words. If symbols are used as a way of expressing complex ideas in a non-visual language they run the risk of being almost the same as words but a little less decipherable, which defeats the object. So occasionally it takes a bit more effort to read certain passages than it should.
But it's a great little book and a really fresh look at an old problem. It would make a very good Christmas present for the lefties in your life.
Buy 'Speechless' here.
