Ayden Kitchen & Bar Ratings and Reviews

First time experience at Ayden Kitchen and Bar was amazing! The scallops melted like butter with a delicious flavour. Loved the Gnocchi. My DH's burger was perfectly seasoned. Loved the signature cocktails. The gift of Warm Madeleine's was the perfect end to our celebratory meal! Service was outstanding.
Thank you Ayden Kitchen and Bar for a memorable time!

The food was great and the service was amazing. The noise level was WAY too loud though. We were seated right near the bar. The blenders, martini shaking and overall work behind the bar echoed through the room. I'm not sure how that could be improved - it's just the acoustics of the room I guess. If I come back, I would ask to be seated in a different room than the bar.

We arrived 20 minutes early for our table, expecting to have a drink at the bar, but were fortunate that our table, by the front window, was available then. I'm glad we sat up front as you can see - as others have noted - that the ventilation from the open kitchen isn't great inside. The food was fantastic - same pasta maker as at Little Grouse as they're co-owned. Good service and mains, and as a treat, we had the madeleines with a side of chocolate sauce. A small, but decadent, end to a great meal.

This was our third occasion to come to Ayden Kitchen & Bar. Every time we have had excellent service, with excellent meals. There is a big enough variety on the menu to suit anyone's pallet, and the prices are very reasonable.
I find the staff very friendly and eager to answer questions, make suggestions or (help with the wine list).
The manager or assistant manager has always made a point of coming around as well, to ensure we have been properly looked after and attended to and that we have enjoyed our experience at Ayden's.
Although I have not had an opportunity to try the lunch menu I am sure it is just as enjoyable.
Keep up the good work & keep serving the great food!

Excellent food and service. I find the meals are full of imagination and unique flavours and tastes. We sat in the middle of a very busy noisy area. Not the restaurants fault - people don't use their inside voice. When I went to the washroom after our meal, I noticed the back area only had two people and we should have asked to be located in a quieter spot since we have "old people" hearing. All in all a very enjoyable evening. Enjoyed the appetizers, main mail and the two desserts as well as the fancy drink recommended by our server.

There were 4 of us dining together, and we made a point of ordering 4 different meals so that we could take a bite of each dish! That was definitely a good idea. The food was simply delicious! The portions were HUGE - two of us could only eat about 1/2 of our meal. (Mind you, that was so we had room to order dessert!) The desserts were incredible! Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. Overall - service was great, food was great, tummies were full, and we rolled out of the restaurant with smiles on our faces : )

Greeting was great. Our waitress was excellent. Meal was rushed as mains arrived before appetizers were finished. Wine list seemed a bit over priced. Food is likely very subjective. Loved the asparagus but prefer scallops carmalized without corn meal coating. Enjoyed porkchop but less so the white skin in chicken dish. All in all a mixed experience.

Service was great. Ambience is nice. Food was pretty good depending on what you ordered. Sausage appetizer was great while shrimp appetizer was ordinary. Fish main course was loved by all who ordered it while pork main course was ordinary. Special occasion prices so I had hoped everything would be great. Luckily, the guests of honor loved it!

It has been a while that i haven't eaten at a restaurant and enjoy every bites! I would come to Saskatoon just to try other item on the menu!! Food was awesome, service was as good as the meal, and the restaurant itself was very nice. A +++
Would recommend to anyone going to Saskatoon.

Very impressed with the food, service and ambience. Took my husband there for his birthday. Enjoyed the Thai wings, trout and steak. Will definitely consider this for other special occasions. Plan to try the lunch menu and have already recommended to friends

We love the ambience at Aydens but for having a chef it is time to redo the menu a bit. The offerings change but very little and food wise it is getting less exciting than it was, we have been there probably 10 times since opening. Really the changes made are very little and if one was being very critical it is getting to be more high end McDonalds than a top drawer restaurant. They have kept the prices good and a fun, fun place and the bar is outstanding with awesome cocktails you won't find elsewhere. Would love to see them do some work on BC wines, don't mind the prices but should stick with the local theme there and support Osoyos wineries with some of the offerings not offered in the liquor store.

Oh so yummy. Loved our dinner there. My husband had the steak and I had the burger (no bun). Both were so delish! Definitely one of the best burgers I've had a restaurant in ages. Fun ambiance - yes it's loud but I actually like to have a conversation and not have the people sitting next to me hear what we're discussing. Great spot - a gem in Saskatoon!

Excellent cocktails, creative menu and fun, eclectic ambiance. The food was good, but I was not blown away. I am a foodie from the states and I feel like the execution of the dishes were close but none of the 6 dishes I tried really impressed me.
Our favourite place in Saskatoon!
The food here is not matched by any other place I have visited in SK. Try the charcuterie board for an appetizer. The scallops and tuna are also outstanding. Go with the steak for an entre - you will be astounded! It is out of this world.
Opulent Burgers
On a recent visit to Saskatoon, we stopped in at Ayden for an early Friday lunch. The restaurant filled up quickly and was moderately loud, but we received excellent service. Our water was regularly topped up and our meals came out quickly. My husband had the Chef's burger (a special that involved 45 day dry aged sirloin, bone marrow and a fried egg, to mention a few of the items) while I stuck with the classic burger with all the groceries (plus house cured bacon). The patties were extra juicy (cooked to medium rare) and very delicious. The house made soda of the day was Earl Grey, which was a nice touch. The burgers came with fresh salads and fries, and the presentation was excellent. We will definitely keep coming back.
It's a great place to go for a grat meal
We have been before and it is always great. The charcuterie plate is amazing. We always get it. The chicken liver parfait on it is amazing. Everything we have had has been fantastic. Highly recommend it as a place to go.
Good food and service but $$$
Our server was excellent and we were well treated the hole way thru . Appreciated that I was phoned the day before to remind too!
Food was good ...most tasty were the prawns, asparagus and buttermilk pie . Not so successful were the scallops which had a weird sweet sauce underneath . My hubby's burger he said was meh...super greasy but he did ask for medium . Had theee most excellent cocktail though - try the limonade.
Would go back but too pricy for a regular destination .
Fantastic Food and Great Atmosphere
The food was absolutely delicious. Our server let us know that they only had 4 servings of their pasta left as soon as we arrived and thankfully she did as it was one of the most flavorful pasta dishes we have ever had. We had a seat close to the kitchen and were able to watch the kitchen staff prepare the food. There is a lot of care that goes in to preparing their food. I will be back there again when I am in Saskatoon.
Great charcuterie!
The charcuterie board at Ayden is one of the best we have had...quality and unique. This is a place with original servings so order plates to share because you will not want to miss out! The decor is original and fascinating. The noise level and rush were the only down side of our experience. The servers are almost running which creates a rushed ambience in a restaurant where you will want to savour the flavours. The hollering from the kitchen...a little over the top...creating an atmosphere of chaos instead of warm tranquility.
I love Aydens!
So nice to have lunch with an old friend and be able to converse, was a quiet relaxed atmosphere. I had a chicken salad, best I've ever had, and the salad was great. My friend had nothing but compliments for the French onion soup, and everything she had. Our server was prompt and informative. Had maryanns for dessert that melted in my mouth. I actually expected it to cost a lot more, but $50 for a fantastic lunch is very reasonable.

The entrees were fantastic - lamb and trout - very very good. Our appetizer wasn't great - had the scallops with cornmeal and the cornmeal didn't add anything to the dish. Desserts were very good as well. Great service. Overall a wonderful dining experience.

We were a bit disappointed that our dining experience didn't quite live up to the hype. The limited menu should have been sufficient but it seemed every dish had some component that made it less interesting. In the end I had the veggie burger (I'm not a vegetarian) which was very good but $45 (tip included) for a burger and fries and glass of wine seemed excessive.. I really enjoyed watching the kitchen staff work in full view and our service was just 'ok'. Not sure I'll rush back.
We went to Ayden's for our 15th Anniversary and we were really impressed with the food and service. Our waitress was great. She even remembered that I had a nut allergy. This was my Hubby's first time and he was very impressed with the food and service. We will be back.

Skip to comments.EPA regulations could make it difficult for Americans to stay warm this winter
Posted on 12/14/2010 7:10:19 AM PST by EBH
click here to read article
History: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2642011/posts>Court won't block EPA climate regulations
Again, something sneaking around through the authorities Congress has given away in previous legislation. All able to be handled through activist courts and under the radar.
It looks like some of the MSM are finally picking up on what is about to slam American families in the bitter cold of winter.
Merry Christmas Tiny Tim America.
Abolish it YESTERDAY !
What was it BO said about the coal industry? Oh yeah, he was gonna bankrupt them.
Part of me relishes the thought of West Virginians who voted democrat freezing in the dark by next winter, as their men mine coal that will be shipped to China
I wonder how long the global warming crowd will continue to believe that the planet is really warming up because of us, even though we get record-breaking cold year after year after year.
I live in an area (rural WV) where coal and wood are used in many cases as the primary source of heat for many homes. This continued out of control EPA regulation will have a significant impact on all of us.
Video of Obama, coal bankruptcy
Did anybody really realize this was happening on Jan. 2, 2011?
"What was it BO said about the coal industry? Oh yeah, he was gonna bankrupt them."
"effin' EPA"
Effing Is what the 'E' stands for? Wow. ;> It's odd that this word is not used more. /s
Effing cold today.
Here in Michigan a company spent several years and millions of dollars on permit applications and studies etc in hopes of building a clean coal fired plant.
Then last year the state denied the permit citing a lack of demand. Less than one month later they gave a permit for a wind farm despite the so called lack of demand.
The EPA and greentards intend to harass and break the energy producers.
And of course the UMWA supported Obama. Just absolutely boggles the mind.
How To Stay Warm tip from the UK: Old folks who can't afford to heat their homes are spending the day riding the city bus to stay warm.
Just trying to help. :{
So when millions of households install wood stoves, cut down
acres of trees for wood, this will be better. These people are freaking morons
If the Republicans can't or are unwilling to help us rein in this kind of crap, it's about time we start looking at other options!
The main thrust of the EPA should be to guarantee clean air and clear water as much as possible for the US.
But in doing so should also not overstep its authority which is to say intrude unnecessarily into the business community and endanger the US economy through overregulation.
A balance must be maintained and the far left enviromental nutjob commies should not be in a position to dictate such extreme radical regulation.
For giving the whores on Capitol Hill more of our money to buy themselves votes. There is no requirement to spend the extra money on anything in particular, as far as I know.
Link to the EPA Fact Sheet on the changes that go into effect 1/2/11
Bottom up, middle out, top down?
First, the Congress should declare that the EPA cannot regulate CO2 emissions.
Yeah, except many of Florida's power plants are coal fired. It was in the high 20's this morning in the outlying areas of Orlando. I want heat!
On a kind of funny note, the young kid here in the office (mid-20's, really old enough to know better) was not going to run the heat this winter. That all changed last night. He routinely picks things out of the garbage that I have not properly put in the recycle can, wipes the crumbs off his plate with his hand instead of washing it to save water, etc.
That video doesn't work anymore. Try this one.
That fact sheet says this...
"Emissions from small farms, restaurants, and all but the very largest commercial facilities will not be covered by these programs at this time."
These regs will be imposed upon them in short order and watch food costs soar to ionospheric heights never before imagined.
I rarely turn up the heat in winter. If it gets too cold I make sure I have enough heavy blankets and pile them on.
It is past time someone cut the power and heat to their offices. Let them lead by example. No more government vehicles, no air travel, no heat, no air conditioning in summer. Let them work as they would have us live.
Do you wear a heavy winter coat in the house for times when you're not in bed?
Do you run the A/C in summer? Or just wear a bathing suit all the time?
Seems like it'd become a bit inconvenient day after day.
I'm pretty conservative with my heat as well.
I keep the thermostat at about 70 degrees and live in long johns during the winter. I also close off a bedroom and seal the register during the winter.
You have it wrong. If you plot Al Gore's time line for global warming with the increased cost of power to hear out homes, it works out even. As the Earth warms, we need less heat and the total bill is the same.
There is no need to worry about the price of gas as there is no reason to go out and buy Chinese made products laced with asbestos.
Finally, the Obama regulations will help lower the cost of heating our homes. There are several web sites showing us how to make logs out of paper. Simply write to the government and ask for the regulations. When the truck delivers them, convert them to paper logs and burn them in the fireplace. Take the savings and mail it to the EPA to cover your emission fines and once again, break even.
What is the problem?
Anyone who wants to destroy this could do so in little time. The CO2 oligarchs and their greentard fringe friends are but a small part of the Democratic barbarian horde. Pick out some rivals in this barbarian horde and tell them they will bear the price for white weenie liberal vanity/profit. Its called divide and conquer folks.
If you get your power from a coal fired power plant, be it a farm, restaurant, etc. You will be paying for this in the higher prices.
Thereby through those prices... you will do everything possible to control your heating/cooling expenses.
What regulation needs to be written.
Oh and in case you have your own industrial boiler, being small, etc. will keep you exempt? Nope...check this out
Agencies Critique Boiler Industrys Excessive Claims of the Cost of EPAs Proposed Rule
The National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA) issued a report that refutes the exaggerated cost estimates that the boiler industry has claimed would result from EPAs proposed air pollution regulations for industrial boilers. According to NACAA, industrys claims include inflated estimates of how much EPAs June 2010 proposed hazardous air pollution regulation for boilers would cost and the threat it poses to American jobs. In addition, the industry estimates ignore the enormous public health benefits and creation of new jobs that controls on emissions from industrial boilers would provide.
In August 2010, the industrial boiler industry published a report that purported to calculate the cost of the rule, without giving due consideration to its benefits. Besides claiming that the rule would cost $113 billion economy-wide, the industry report stated that it would put over 300,000 jobs at risk.
NACAAs detailed report entitled, EPAs Proposed Regulations on Hazardous Air Pollutants from Boilers: A Critique of the Boiler Industrys Excessive Cost Claims, sets the record straight by refuting the outsized estimates contained in the industry report. It describes some of the erroneous features of the industry analysis, including: (1) the number of sources that must install controls was grossly overestimated; (2) the cost of the rule did not incorporate positive economic benefits from new capital investmentincluding the creation of new jobs; (3) the positive impacts of increased life expectancy, reduced health care costs, and other health-related benefits were not factored in the report; (4) one-time project costs were overestimated; and, (5) assumptions about the negative impact of investments in pollution controls are unlikely in the current economy.
The more of them who die, the better.
I respect people who "walk the walk", acting according to their beliefs, until they try to force the rest of us to comply. Then I just wanna' shoot 'em!
lol, I just threw a couple more logs into my woodstove to celebrate the EPA
Anybody know what the thermostat in the White House is set at this winter?
Here we are in the 21st Century in the most advanced society on the face of the Earth, freezing our asses off because loonies are loose swinging in the rafters of the Capitol overiding science, creating nonsensical laws from feelings.
Somebody wake up the Organ Grinder, and get this Monkey back under control.
I read somewhere they were trying to ban woodstoves.
Burn Wise is a partnership program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that emphasizes the importance of burning the right wood, the right way, in the right wood-burning appliance to protect your home, health, and the air we breathe. Within this site you will find information for consumers to make informed decisions about what it means to burn wise. State and local agencies will discover ways to improve air quality in their communities through changeout programs and education. And partners will learn about how they can work with EPA to bring cleaner-burning appliances to market.
Peat moss will burn (smolder) for surprisingly long,how much is a bale? If you live near an old swamp you may want to get your share before the eco-nuts declare it a "protected wet land".
The D-rats are going for broke with all these regs.
Wood pellet stoves can use a fuel based upon farm waste / biomass. This would allow for the trees to stay up, the farmers to make some small amount of money, and stove owners to pay less than electricity to heat their homes.
Even if we get them out of congress it won't and doesn't matter. The regs and the authority was already given to them in the course of the previous decades of legislation.
In other words ...they don't need congress. All they is the "Presidents Agenda" to act.
The joke is on us.
It was primarily the poorer people looking for free money from other people that voted for Zero. It will be them that cannot handle any increase in heating bills. Screw 'em. I can afford mine just fine.
The bureaucrats are our masters.

LID APPLICATOR Other features and advantages will become apparent from the drawings and the following description, which are given to acquaint those skilled in the art with the best mode presently contemplated by us of carrying out our invention.
THE DRAWINGS FIG. I is a schematic side elevation of packaging machinery embodying the principles of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a container and a lid depicting the mode of spot tacking the lid to the container;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a completed and fully sealed container;
FIG. 4 is an end elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the tacker;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the tacker taken substantially on line 5-5 of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a vertical longitudinal section of the tacker taken substantially on line 66 of FIG. 5.
DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 illustrates the head end of a packaging line for the filling and sealing of individual service bowls of ready-to-eat breakfast cereal. Each bowl, as illustrated in FIG. 3, comprises an economical disposable plastic bowl l0 and a lid 11 heat sealed to a peripheral flange 12 on the top of the bowl. The lid preferably comprises a readily tearable and thus easily removed flexible laminate comprised of an exterior foil and an interior film of heat-sealable material adapted to be heat sealed to the flange 12. The material of the bowl and the film is such as to seal the contents of the bowl until serving thereof, whereby to maintain the purity and freshness of the container contents. When served, the lid is easily stripped from the bowl and the contents thus exposed for consumption directly from the bowl; i.e., in the case of breakfast cereal, with the addition of milk or cream and sugar if desired.
The individual service bowls of cereal are of course given principally by way of example, the invention being equally applicable to other forms of containers and other contents to be packaged. However, the cereal bowls do serve to exemplify the invention.
Referring to FIG. I, a device of known construction and operation is provided at the head end of an endless conveyor 21 for feeding bowls one by one in an upright position onto the conveyor toform a row of bowls in contiguous relation. The conveyor preferably comprises a series of cuplike holders 22 pivotally interconnected in link fashion, each link or holder being complemental to the bowls each to receive an individual bowl. The conveyor thus carries the bowls seriatim beneath a filling machine 23 of known construction which deposits a predetermined quantity of cereal into each bowl. The the bowls are conveyed to a lid-applying means 24.
The lids II are conventionally supplied in elongate strips in roll form, as indicated by the roll 1 la. In the machine 24, the lid strip 11 is pulled from the supply roll 11a by two rubber feed rolls llb. The peripheral speed of these rolls corresponds to the product of lid length and machine speed, and they feed the lid strip at proper speed through the two guide rolls into a rotary knife 110 which cuts the strip into individual lids mated to the bowls I0. From the rotary knife, each lid is picked up by a pair of feed tapes 25 which convey each lid to and lay it on a respective bowl. The speed of these tapes is the product of bowl spacing on the conveyor and machine speed, so that as the lids are cut, they are spaced from one another and carried by the feed tapes into register with the bowl spacings of the conveyor holders 22. Thus, lids 11 are fed seriatim downwardly under a roller or guide means 26 in such timed manner that a lid 11 is automatically brought into overlying relation to each container or bowl 10. Each assembly of lid and bowl, while held in place by the roller 26, is then engaged by a tacker, indicated generally at 27, which by means of a heated shoe tacks the lid to the bowl.
A spot tacking shoe and its mode of operation are depicted schematically in FIG. 2 wherein a shoe is indicated at 28 and its path of movement is depicted by phantom line 29. As illustrated, the shoe 28 moves forwardly (opposite to the direction of travel of the bowls) in upwardly spaced relation to the bowls and lids, then downwardly to contact the trailing edge of one bowl 10 and its lid 11 and the leading edge of the next bowl and lid, then rearwardly simultaneously with the two bowls to apply thereto sufficient heat for a sufficient period of time to cause each lid to be heat sealed to the flange 12 of its bowl at the spot or area contacted by the shoe 28, and then the shoe moves upwardly away from the bowls to repeat its operation on a succeeding pair of bowls in the line, while the bowls with fixedly tacked lids thereon move down the line to the next operation.
The next operation is performed by a lid-sealing device 30 of known construction which acts simultaneously on a plurality of the bowls to effect complete sealing of each of the lids over the full area of the flange 12 of the respective bowl 10.
Prior to the advent of this invention, considerable difliculty had been occasioned in the latter operation due to accidental displacement of the lids relative to the bowls. A lid might slip slightly forward or backward, or to one side or the other, with the result that it was not aligned with the bowl flange during the heat-sealing operation and the bowl would issue from the sealer with its lid askew and the bowl contents exposed. While the contents might be salvaged, the bowl and lid were wasted and production was severely restricted.
By virtue of this invention, the lids are laid and held onto the bowls while under complete control of the lid-applying mechanism where they are relatively easy to handle and properly align with the bowl. The lids are the immediately tacked in place so that they cannot become askew, and thus pass into the sealing mechanism 30 properly oriented to thebowls. The result is substantially decreased waste and substantially increased production of the finished product.
Also, the invention facilitates continuous mass production of the filled and sealed bowls, there being no interruption of bowl or conveyor movement necessitated thereby. Consequently, a continuous stream of the completed product moves down the conveyor to a suitable packing area to the right of FIG. I.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 to 6, the lid feeder 24 and tacker 27 provided by this invention are shown as mounted on a pair of spaced parallel side frames 40 which are supported above the conveyor 21 in parallel and centered relation thereto. Joumaled in the upstream end of the frames are a pair of vertically spaced cross-shafts 41 and 42, the upper one 41 of which carries a pair of spool-type guide rollers 43 for guiding a pair of flexible belts which comprise the lid feeding belt means 25, and the lower one 42 of which carries a pair of belt-driving rollers comprising the previously mentioned roller or guide means 26, the belts being reaved over the two sets of rollers and adapted to be driven by the shaft 42. For the purpose, the shaft 42 includes a clutch tongue 44 adapted to be engaged with a driven element of the machine for rotating the rolls 26 at such speed as to align a lid 11 with each of the bowls 12.
At the downstream end of the frames 40, a similar transverse drive shaft 45 equipped with a clutch part 46 is journaled in the frames for driving the heat-sealing shoe means 28 of the tacker in timed relation to the movement of the conveyor 21.
In its preferred embodiment, the tacker embodies a pair of the heat-sealing shoes, indicated respectively at 28 and 28a, and an independent drive mechanism for each shoe. Accordingly, the drive shaft 45 (which is engaged in known manner with an element of the machine) carries a pair of drive gears 47 and 47a each of which is engaged with a respective gear 48-48a each of which is secured to a respective shoe operation shaft 49-49a.
Inasmuch as the shoe-operating mechanisms are identical, except for being out of phase as will subsequently be described, one of the mechanisms will be described in conjunction with whole reference numerals and the corresponding parts of the other mechanism will be designated in the drawings by the same numerals with the suffix a.
As shown, the shoe-operating shaft 49 of each mechanism is equipped with an eccentric 50 to which a horizontal link 51 is pivotally connected for reciprocatory movement in a generally horizontal direction. Also, the shaft 49 carries a cam 52 having a peripheral surface divided into an outer lobe or cam surface 53 of approximately l80 arcuate extent, an inner lobe or cam surface 54 of a somewhat lesser arcuate extend, and intervening transition surfaces. Said surfaces are engaged by a follower 55 mounted on one end of a bellcrank lever 56 which is pivoted intermediate its ends on the frame by a pivot pin or bolt 57. Adjacent its opposite end, the bellcrank pivotally mounts a vertical link 58 for reciprocatory movement in a generally vertical direction in response to the caminduced movements of the bellcrank; the outer end of the bellcrank being biased downwardly and the inner end thereof rearwardly toward the cam by a tension spring 59 extended between the bellcrank and the adjacent side frame 40.
The vertical link 58 is longitudinally adjustable by virtue of a built-in turnbuckle 60 and is thereby adjustably and pivotally connected to the rear of a carrier 61 for the heat-sealing shoe 28. The forward end of the carrier is pivotally connected to a vertical link 62 which generally parallels the link 58 and is pivotally connected to the forward or outer end of the bellcrank, whereby the carrier is mounted on and retained in an essentially horizontal position by a parallelogram linkage.
Associated with this linkage is a bracket 63 that is pivotally connected to the vertical link 62 and to the horizontal link 51 and which serves as a safety link or lost motion connection between the links 51 and 62. To this end, the bracket 63 includes a crossmember 64 that normally engages the front side of the linkage 62 and a compression spring 65 disposed between the opposite side of the link 62 and a rearward extension of the bracket, whereby the bracket is normally biased into the position shown in FIG. 6. Consequently, when horizontal link 51 is moved rearwardly (i.e., to the right in FIG. 6) it will pull the bracket 63 and thus the link 62 and the shoe 28 rearwardly with it. However, when the horizontal link 51 is moving forwardly under the driving action of the eccentric 50, should the link 62 become jammed or reach its end position before completion of the forward stroke of movement of the link 51,.the bracket 63 can swing forwardly against the bias of spring 65 to prevent further forward movement of and damage to the parallelogram linkage and the sealing shoe, thereby providing a safety factor in the operation of the linkage.
As will thus be appreciated, the horizontal link 51 is reciprocated by the eccentric 50 to impart horizontal swinging movement to the links 58 and 62, whereby to reciprocate the shoe 28 horizontally.
The links 58 and 62 in turn serve to retain the shoe horizontal and the bellcrank 56 serves to raise and lower the same. Specifically, the parallelogram linkage is adapted to be moved upwardly by the outer cam surface 53 of the cam 52 to dispose the shoe 28 in upwardly spaced relation to the conveyor 21 and the bowls l and lids 11, and is adapted to be biased downwardly by the spring 59 when the bellcrank is released for downward movement by the inner cam surface 54. The cam surface 54 is so located that when the same becomes aligned with the follower 55 the shoe 28 is in position to bridge over or span between two of the carriers 22. Consequently the spring 59 will move the shoe 28 downwardly until it engages the trailing edge and the leading edge respectively of the lids 11 and flanges 12 of the two containers therebelow, and will then maintain a predetermined spring pressure thereon to facilitate the lid-tacking operation.
To prevent excessive downward movement of the shoe in the event of malfunction of the machinery, a safety link 66 is associated with the bellcrank 56 and the parallelogram 58-62. This link is pivotally and adjustably suspended from a turnbuckle 67 mounted on the tacker frame and includes a lost motion connection with the bellcrank comprising a slot 68 within which a pin 69 on the bellcrank comprising a slot 68 within which a pin 69 on the bellcrank is free to move. The bottom margin of the slot defines the lower limit of bellcrank and linkage movement, and the slot itself accommodates up and down movement of the bellcrank within its normal operatmg range.
The inner cam surface 54 and the horizontal link 51 are so related to one another on the shaft 49 as to impart an essentially rectangular path of movement to the shoe 28, as depicted at 29 and described in conjunction with FIG. 2. The turnbuckle 60 in the vertical link 58 and a similar turnbuckle 70 in the horizontal link 51 are adjustable to accommodate reasonable adjustments to be made in the path of shoe movement. For the same purpose, the cam 52 may be adjustably mounted on the shaft 49. Usually, as shown in FIG. 6, the horizontal link 51 is connected to the eccentric 50 at a location adjacent and preferably slightly ahead of the initial portion of the inner cam surface 54in the direction of rotation of the shaft 49. Consequently, with the parts positioned as illustrated in FIG. 6, continued rotation of the cam and eccentric in the indicated direction will cause the shoe 28 to be moved rearwardly until the point of connection between the eccentric 50 and the link 51 approaches a position corresponding to roughly 4 oclock, at which time the rate of horizontal movement of the link 51 starts to diminish.
At this time, the cam 52 has rotated to a position wherein the outer cam lobe 53 becomes engaged with the follower 55 whereupon the bellcrank 56, the parallelogram linkage 58-62 and the shoe 28 are raised upwardly to release the shoe from the particular bowls that it had engaged. The shoe is then retained elevated by the outer cam surface 53 during something more than 180 of shaft rotation.
During the l plus rotation in which the shoe is elevated, the eccentric 50 is rotated through the null point at 30clock, the link 51 is moved forwardly to swing the parallelogram linkage and the shoe forwardly, and the eccentric 50 is rotated through the null point at the clock position, whereupon the linkage starts on its rearward stroke of movement. As the latter occurs, the cam again presents its inner cam lobe 54 to the follower 55, whereupon the shoe is lowered onto the trailing and leading edges respectively of the lids and flanges of the two bowls now positioned therebelow, which edges are twice removed respectively from those first engaged by the shoe 28. (In other words, the shoe 28 engages the trailing edges of alternate bowls, and the leading edges of the bowls intervening between said alternate bowls, not both edges of every bowl.) The link 51 is then moves the shoe 28 horizontally rearward in synchronism with the horizontal movement of the bowls engaged thereby, whereupon the shoe 28 (which is preferably electrically heated in known manner) spot tacks the trailing edge of one lid and the leading edge of the next lid to the flanges of their respective bowls.
During this horizontal movement, the shoe moves in a perfectly horizontal path inasmuch as the spring 59 and the slot 68 in the safety link 66 accommodate the necessary fluctuations or variations in what would otherwise be an arcuate swinging of the lower ends of the links 58 and 62.
Thus, the sealing shoe 28 efficiently and expeditiously physically presses each lid 11 to the flange 12 of the respective bowl l0, and thereafter fixedly tacks the lid to the bowl to ensure proper orientation of the lid and the bowl when they arrive at the final sealing mechanism 30.
As above explained, the shoe 28 spans only alternate ones of the gaps or junctions between the carriers 22. To effect tacking of the lid edges contiguous to the intervening gaps or junctions, the second tacking shoe 28aand its operating mechanism have been provided. This shoe and mechanism are identical to that above described with the single exception that the eccentric 50aand cam 52a thereof are positioned l80 out of phase with the eccentric 50 and the cam 52. Consequently the a unit or assembly will automatically tack lids onto the bowl edges adjacent the intervening carriers junction. Thus,
each bowl in the line will have a lid tacked thereto at both its leading and trailing edges as the bowls pass through the lid applicator and tacker structure. Thus, a lid is pressed and tacked to and properly oriented on each bowl or container as the containers travel to the sealing mechanism 30.
In this manner, the row of containers may travel continuously through the machinery depicted schematically in FIG. 1 without pause, hesitation or interruption of movement, each container will have a lid tacked thereto in properly oriented position, and the sealing mechanism 30 will properly perform its function in respect of all of the containers whereby to afford high-speed and efficient production of filled and sealed containers.
Occasionally in the operation of the machine, a bowl may not be fed into a holder 22 by the mechanism 20, or a bowl may be improperly filled with product by the mechanism 23 whereupon that mechanism causes the bowl to be ejected. Thus, an occasional open holder in the conveyor will appear at the lid applicator. If a lid were applied to the open holder, the lid would be sealed to the holder with no way to remove it and operation of he machine would be impaired.
To obviate this problem, an empty holder detector 80 (MG. 1) is provided adjacent the conveyor 21 at a location upstream from the lid applicator correlated to the distance of the cutter llc from the conveyor and a lid rejecting air jet 81 is provided just below the cutter. When the detector 80 senses an empty holder, it causes actuation of the air jet 81 whereupon the next succeeding one of the lids 11 (the lid corresponding to or intended for the empty holder 22) is forced to follow the rotary knife and is blown onto a reject conveyor 82 and dropped into a reject box or receptacle 83. Thus, the lid that otherwise would have been fed to the empty holder is rejected and the stream of lids will have an empty space matching the empty holder.
At the time when the empty conveyor pocket passes under the tacking shoes 28, it is also preferable to render the shoes inoperative to prevent damage to the shoes and/or the conveyor. For this purpose, an air cylinder 84 under the control of the detector 80 is preferably associated with the turnbuckle 67 of the shoe operation linkage to raise the linkage to an inoperative or upwardly spaced position during passage of the empty holder.
Thus, proper and continuous operation of the machine is assured.
While we have shown and described what we regard to be the preferred embodiment of our invention for applying a particular lid to a particular container, it is to be appreciated that the invention is equally applicable to other lids and containers and that for this and similar purposes changes, rearrangements and modifications may be made in the apparatus without departing from the scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

Males have a strikingly increased risk of advanced liver disease. This study was designed to investigate the association between sex hormone levels and different disease states in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected male patients.
Two hundred and fifty-two male patients, including 30 with acute hepatitis B (AHB), 127 with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and 95 with chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB), and 48 healthy controls (HCs) were enroled in this study. All patients were followed for 4 months. The primary end point was in-hospital mortality at the end of 90 days. At study entry, a blood sample was collected from all subjects to examine liver function, renal function and sex hormone levels (serum total testosterone and oestradiol). A total of nine clinical chemistry and biochemical variables were analyzed for possible association with outcomes by using Cox proportional hazards and multiple regression models.
We demonstrated that in CSHB and CHB patients, oestradiol levels were significantly increased compared with HCs and AHB patients, whereas no significant differences were observed in AHB patients and HCs. All male patients had normal levels of testosterone which were not significantly different compared with those of HCs. Increased oestradiol levels were clinically associated with severe liver disease, and increased 3-month mortality rate. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that oestradiol and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score were independent predictors for mortality (both P < 0.001).
Oestradiol levels are significantly increased in male patients with hepatitis B, and were associated with the severity of liver disease. Moreover, elevation of oestradiol is an independent predictive factor for the 3-month mortality rate in male patients with hepatitis B.

Robust debate between politicians on matters of public policy shouldn't be that newsworthy.
It seems the mining industry has the same recollection as Rudd of the 2010 mining tax debacle, but Treasurer Wayne Swan won't let it go.
The mining tax that was proposed in 2010 was a poorly designed, poorly implemented policy. For all of Swan's protestations the historical record supports the view the tax was bungled from beginning to end.

Why is the BER, an economic initiative that delivers on multiple platforms, so hard to sell?
It might be time for the Treasurer to start talking about how the economic numbers are only indicators of a bigger story; a story in which ordinary people – school kids, teachers and construction workers – are the real players.
And the halls and the interactive whiteboards and even the (occasionally over-priced) school canteens are an important part of this story.

The tabloids have nailed Wayne Swan's budget cuts – taking money away from mums, but keeping the gold pass travel for retired politicians.
It doesn't matter that the gold pass doesn't actually cost that much, or is under review, or whatever, it isn't a good look. Ditto for increasing HECS for maths and science – the education revolution is on hold.

Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable
A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why.
So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead handsome with gracious, statesman-like aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.
9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money all by HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad.
Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans.
My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?
Personal Information:
His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney
He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.
His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan
He was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they five children.
B.A. from Brigham Young University,

Hampton Roads Area, Virginia Home Appraisals
Buying a Hampton Roads Area home covers a lot of ground, including legal, financial and emotional considerations. A lack of education in the home buying process and the mistakes of others may lead to disaster.
Hampton Roads Area, Virginia Home Appraisal Directory
Hampton Roads Area Home Appraisals...What they are...
An appraisal is an un-biased, third-party estimate of the value of a parcel of property. All appraisals must abide by the rules set forth by the Federal Reserve, but eventually every appraisal is a subjective analysis of a property's current market value. Absolute market value can be challenging to establish in regions where prices are volatile and properties widely vary.
The real estate appraiser utilizes market-based techniques to form a judgment of worth. This most times means market value (or the sum of money that a person would pay for it). Each time, there is some dissimilarity and each prospective buyer or seller and real estate industry professional conveys a distinctive array of notions to the table. There are many considerations and tools that appraisers can utilize to resolve the market value of a property.
The difference between appraisers and other industry professionals
Sellers and homeowners wishing to refinance would like to receive the maximum price they can for their home. Buyers may have an affecting commitment to an agreed price because of their longing to buy the property. Brokers and loan originators are paid commissions based on the value of the sale or loan. An appraiser, conversely is paid a flat fee, whether the deal is attained or not. Theoretically, he/she is open to provide a well-informed opinion of the property worth.
What type of Hampton Roads Area real estate can be appraised?
Most commonly, appraisers will be asked to give an analysis of an existing home or property. The appraiser can also estimate the value of a home that is currently being developed. The finished home is appraised by using only the builder's plans and information that contains the site characteristics.
Commercial property can be appraised by a selection of methods, including cash flows. This can also include an evaluation of predicted income and expenses to use as measurements of the net current worth of a commercial real estate.
Tools commonly used by Hampton Roads Area appraisers
There are a number of different tools and measurements that appraisers are likely to use to give an appraisal. Among them are:
Completed area real estate proceedings. Current data has become progressively more available through the Internet with the ability to search for sales transactions throughout the US. There are a wide assortment of resources that will provide the date, price range, type of property, grantor/grantee, address in addition to access to electronic deeds. Additional details on a property can also be acquired at the assessor's office.
Financial indicators. The appraiser can access and examine employment and wages for states, including prices for a variety of economic entities to consist of precious metals, major currency exchange rates, bond yields, stock averages, LEI, CPI and Core Rates.
Software. Many powerful software systems are also on hand to permit faster reporting and professional photography, topography and aerial maps.
The Appraisal
The appraisal report is a "snapshot" of the property and the neighborhood and generally provides a description of the neighborhood (price ranges, ages of homes, quality of access to schools, shopping and work). This generally will consist of the solidity of the local economy and rank its desirability in comparison with neighboring areas. The report will also generally include the site description including its size and shape, zoning compliance and any easements or restrictions, all of which involve the property's utility. The availability of utilities, maintenance of streets are also included in this report. Any improvements to the property or buildings are illustrated in some detail such as the number of rooms, the quality and condition, the size of the home, and any special features. There are usually pictures and sketches on additional pages. A complete and final valuation will be provided stating which of the methods were used and an explanation as to why each approach was selected in addition to the value of the method in determining value. Three methods that are generally used are: Cost (replacement), Sales Comparison (the sales price for similar properties) and Income (when it's rental or commercial real estate). The appraisal analyzes property rights plus improvements and expresses the sum as a dollar value in the latest market.
Correct appraisals are to your advantage, not because they have different values than poorly written ones but because they move freely through the bank's underwriters. Accurate appraisals are reader-friendly, understandable, and clearly show the relationship between local market conditions, the data used, and the absolute value.
Appraisals can be designed for:
Estate Settlement and the Internal Revenue Service
Buyers Offer
Choosing an appraiser who is right for you
One important thing to consider when hiring a specialist home appraiser is whether they are knowledgeable in property and home values for the area or region in which the property resides. This is especially important for atypical properties or difficult appraisals.
An additional consideration to make is whether the home appraisal company provides professional service with reasonable appraisal fees and turnaround times. Residential fees can differ greatly depending on the region, property and time estimated to complete the appraisal report. The more complex the house appraisal report, the higher the fees. And finally, does the company doing your house appraisal have the most fitting data sources for the area and property type to be appraised?
Find out the length of time the appraisal company has been in business? They should have an established business long enough to have seen the market gyrations that have provided some familiarity with market volatility.
Find out how an appraiser will determine similarity among competing neighborhoods. A good appraiser will include knowledgeable criteria such as density of development, price range, incomes, or even census tracts.
Ask how many appraisals are conducted on a weekly basis by the appraiser. The value here is to see if a thoughtful, comprehensive, analytical appraisal will be produced.

The last time I wrote about a mobile card game (okay, it was more of a match-3, but I love bringing up this piece) it didn't go exceedingly well. I can only assume that someone at DeNA read that piece and thought "Man, Zack sure knows card games back-to-front, side-to-side, so let's get him to write about our new thing Deckstorm: Duel of Guardians." So the team flew me down to San Francisco to its fancy office with free coffee and fridge full of iced jasmine green tea and gave me the rundown.
I'm still not what anyone would call a connoisseur of the genre, but I came away impressed and even downloaded the dang thing on my phone today when it released.... read more

The memory foam ear bud attachment is amazing, you must first pinch the foam in and then insert them into your ear just like ear plugs and then it expands as it rests in your ear. Providing the most amazing sound quality with bass you can feel and noise cancellation you would expect from $100+ active noise canceling headphones. I love these headphones so much; can´t get enough of them. The volume control is a plus and can aid in sound quality as well.
Great price. I work in a very noisy enviroment and these headphones are great. I can now hear parts of my music that i never have befor. The foam acts just like ear plugs blocking out the outside noise, leaving you with crisp music
The Stereo sound is good, but none of the 3 pairs of earbuds provided stays put in my ears.
A good value for the momey.
I purchased the Koss earbuds because my Skullcandy earbuds died after a few months of use. The Koss earbuds are comfortable and the price is great. I'm going to buy another pair.
They are kind of tricky to wear at first, but once you get them in your ears properly they sound decent and are pretty good at keeping outside noise out.

Sky takes to Twitter for billboard show recommendations
Sky has announced its latest web-savvy advertising campaign - using Twitter, billboards and train stations to appeal to bored commuters.
From 4pm to 10pm on Friday 30 September, rail stations including London's King Cross, Liverpool Street, Piccadilly and Victoria, as well as Glasgow Central, Birmingham International and Leeds will see their billboards taken over by Sky and its #whatsonsky hashtag.
The idea is simple - you fire out a tweet using the hashtag and Sky will tweet you back a show suggestion. This will either be generically done by Sky's media agency, or if you pull enough weight on Twitter (i.e. you've got lots of followers) your reply will be personal; when you've previously indicated what you like to watch on the micro-blogging platform - this info will be used.
Either way, you'll be entered into a competition to win yourself a year's worth of free Sky programming.
"At Sky, we're always on the lookout for new ways to make people aware of some of the great content across our channels, and happily over the last few years, the explosion of social media platforms has provided us with some innovative new ways of communicating with our customers," said Kathryn Drought, head of digital and social media.
Sky recently began using Twitter's promoted tweet function to advertise Glee, so it's clear that the company values the social impact of the platform.
Maybe Mr Murdoch should have waited a couple of years before wasting £370 million on MySpace. He could have bought himself a more tweety social network.

Is it possible to write a peer-to-peer chat application in Python?
I am thinking of this from a hobbyist project point-of-view. Can two machines connect to each other directly without involving a server? I have always wondered this, but never actually seen it implemented anywhere so I am thinking there must be a catch somewhere.
PS: I intend to learn Twisted, so if that is involved, it would be an added advantage!

June Book Display
June signifies the anniversary of when AIDS was first noted. On June 5, 1981, the Centers for Disease Control first described the new illness in a newsletter. About a year later, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was adopted as the offical name for the new disease by the CDC. The actual virus that causes AIDS was identified in 1983 and named in 1985 as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The first person to die from this disease in the developed world was in 1959. More than 524,000 Americans have died of AIDS while more than 22 million people worldwide. At the present time, about 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS. To bring more knowledge and understanding of AIDS/HIV, the Todd Library will have a book display focusing on this subject. Come in and check out items or use our online resources to find our electronic books.
