The present invention relates to a unitary container that separately contains two consumable products, preferably a dry consumable product and a liquid consumable product. More particularly, it relates to a portable, single-use container that contains both a liquid product and a dry product, such as milk and cereal, and promotes single-handed, simultaneous dispensing of the products.
A highly popular combination food item is dry cereal and milk. Typically, the cereal and milk are combined in a bowl, and then consumed using a spoon. Thus, so long as the consumer is at a stationary location and has a table and spoon available, the cereal and milk meal is readily prepared and eaten. Unfortunately, however, it is virtually impossible to easily consume the milk and cereal while traveling (or "on-the-go") due to the open nature of the bowl and the requirement of a spoon. For example, it is highly difficult to carry a bowl of cereal and milk without spilling the combination product (e.g., walking, hiking, traveling in an automobile, etc.). Further, on-the-go consumption (i.e., no convenient structure such as a table onto which the bowl can be placed) occupies both of the user's hands; one hand holding the bowl and the other hand holding the spoon.
This lack of transportability is in direct contrast to recent consumer preferences. In particular, consumers have expressed a heightened desire for their favorite consumable products to be packaged in single-serving containers that facilitate convenient, single-handed, on-the-go consumption. In fact, manufacturers have now made available a wide variety of food products in portable, single-handed consumption packages or containers. For example, beverages, such as soda pop, milk, etc., are commonly sold in single-serving containers. Other food products, ranging from yogurt to dry snack foods, are also similarly packaged. In general terms, the packaging technique for these products is relatively straightforward in that only a single type of consumable item is contained. In other words, a single-serving beverage container need only define a single storage region for containing the beverage. Similarly, a snack food package has a single compartment enclosing a single type of snack food. In direct contrast, a container for cereal and milk must separately contain the two items prior to consumption. If the cereal and milk were initially combined within a single compartment, the quality of the cereal would quickly deteriorate, as would the milk.
Efforts have been made to provide packaging that separately contains a single-serving of cereal and a single-serving of milk. For the most part, however, these packaging efforts still require a spoon for consumption of the combined cereal and milk, and thus do not promote on-the-go consumption. Alternatively, a hand-held container defining a first compartment for milk and a second compartment for cereal has been proposed, for example, by Ness, U.S. Pat. No. 5,753,289. While satisfying several consumer preferences, the prior single container, dual compartment design raises additional potential drawbacks.
As a starting point, to be viable on a mass production basis, the milk compartment must be sanitized, preferably aseptically sterilized, prior to filling with milk, to provide an extended shelf life or ultra-pasteurized product for sale to consumers. With this in mind, the container of U.S. Pat. No. 5,753,289 utilizes a single screw cap to close integrally formed cereal and milk compartments. Unfortunately, because both compartments are fully exposed when the cap is removed, it is virtually impossible for the product manufacturer to sterilize the container, fill the compartments with cereal and milk in an acceptably sterile environment, and then seal the container without negatively impacting the quality of the milk and/or cereal. In other words, if the milk is dispensed before the cereal is placed within the cereal compartment, the subsequent cereal dispensement will destroy the requisite sterility of the milk compartment. Conversely, if the cereal compartment is filled first and then the milk compartment is sanitized, the sanitizing agent will likely contact the cereal, rendering it inedible. Further, if a consumer attempts to re-use the container, he/she will likely not appreciate the level of cleanliness required of a milk container, and may not properly sanitize the device.
An untapped consumer demand exists for a portable, combination cereal and milk packaged good item. Unfortunately, existing designs either hinder on-the-go consumption, or present potentially insurmountable manufacturing obstacles. Therefore, a need exists for a portable, single-use packaged good item that separately contains both a dry consumable product, such as cereal, and a liquid consumable product, such as milk, and a method of manufacturing such an item.
One aspect of the present invention relates to a portable, single-use container for separately containing first and second consumable products. The container includes a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment tapers at an upper portion thereof to form a spout. The spout facilitates dispensing of a contained first consumable product from the first compartment. The second compartment, in turn, tapers at an upper portion thereof to form a mouth. The mouth facilitates dispensing of a second consumable product from the second compartment. The first and second compartments are assembled to one another in a side-by-side fashion such that the spout abuts the mouth. With this configuration, during use, a first consumable product and a second consumable product can be dispensed from the container in close proximity to one another for convenient consumption. In one preferred embodiment, the first compartment contains a volume of milk and the second compartment contains a quantity of cereal.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a portable, single-use container for separately containing first and second consumable products. The container includes a first compartment, a second compartment, a first compartment opening and a second compartment opening. The first and second compartments are secured to one another in a side-by-side fashion, and combine to define a container body. The first compartment opening is provided for dispensing a first consumable product from the first compartment. In this regard, the first compartment opening has a transverse cross-sectional area that is less than a maximum transverse cross-sectional area of the first compartment. The second compartment opening is similarly provided for dispensing a second consumable product from the second compartment. In this regard, the second compartment opening has a transverse cross-sectional area that is less than a maximum transverse cross-sectional area of the second compartment. Upon final assembly, at least one of the first and second compartment openings is substantially centered relative to the container body. In one preferred embodiment, the first and second compartment openings are positioned side-by-side to define a container pour region that is substantially aligned with a central axis of the container body. With this preferred configuration, the consumable products will readily flow from the container during a pouring operation. In another preferred embodiment, the first compartment contains a volume of milk, whereas the second compartment contains a quantity of cereal.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a portable, single-use container that separately contains a first consumable product and a second consumable product. First and second compartments are provided. The first compartment is configured to contain the first consumable product and tapers at an upper portion thereof to form a spout. The second compartment is configured to contain the second consumable product and tapers at an upper portion thereof to form a mouth. Further, the first and second compartments are configured for assembly to one another in a side-by-side fashion such that the spout abuts the mouth. The first compartment is sanitized, and the first consumable product is dispensed therein. The spout is covered to seal the first consumable product within the first compartment. The second consumable product is dispensed into the second compartment. The first and second compartments are assembled to one another, and the mouth of the second compartment covered. In one preferred embodiment, the mouth and the spout are encompassed by a common cover. Regardless, the method of the present invention allows for sealed containment of a first consumable product, preferably milk, in a sterile environment, preferably an aseptically sterile environment. Upon final assembly, the spout abuts the mouth such that milk and the second consumable product, preferably ready-to-eat cereal, can be poured from the container in close proximity to each other.
One preferred embodiment of a container 10 in accordance with the present invention is provided in FIG. 1. The container 10 includes a first compartment 12, a second compartment 14, a cap 16, and a wrapper 18. As a point of reference, a portion of the wrapper 18 has been removed from the view of
As shown more clearly in
As made clearer below, the first compartment 12 is configured for assembly to the second compartment 14 in a side-by-side fashion. Thus, the side wall 22 can be referenced as having an interior surface 32 and an exterior surface 34, it being understood that upon final assembly, the interior surface 32 will be placed against a corresponding surface of the second compartment 14 and thus "hidden", whereas the exterior surface 34 is exposed. With this designation in mind, and with additional reference to

Regardless of the exact construction and with additional references to
In general terms, the second compartment 14 is configured to correspond in shape and size with the first compartment 12, and includes a bottom 50, a side wall 52 and a mouth 54 as shown in FIG. 2. The side wall 52 extends upwardly from the bottom 50, and forms a body portion 56 and a neck 58. The side wall 52 and the bottom 50 combine to form an internal storage region 60 preferably configured to contain a dry consumable product (not shown). The neck 58 extends from the body portion 56, tapering inwardly to the mouth 54. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the second compartment 14 tapers at an upper portion thereof to form the mouth 54.
As previously described, the second compartment 14 is configured for assembly to the first compartment 12 in a side-by-side fashion. Thus, the side wall 52 can be referenced as having an interior surface 62 and an exterior surface 64, it being understood that upon final assembly, the interior surface 62 will be placed against the corresponding interior surface 32 of the first compartment 12 and thus "hidden", whereas the exterior surface 64 is exposed. With this designation in mind, and with additional reference to

As best shown in
The mouth 54 preferably includes an inner wall 68 and an outer wall 70 (the terms "inner" and "outer" being in reference to a position of the mouth 54 relative to the spout 24 (
The opening 72 preferably has a transverse shape corresponding with that of the inner and outer walls 68, 70. Thus, as shown in
The second compartment 14, including the body portion 56, the neck 58, and the mouth 54, is preferably integrally formed from a plastic material. In particular, the second compartment 12 is preferably blow-molded from an appropriate plastic material such as high density polyethylene, although other materials, including low density polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. As compared to the first compartment 12 previously described and in accordance with one preferred embodiment, the second compartment 14 need not incorporate a preferably flexible or "squeezable" construction. That is to say, the second compartment 14 is preferably more rigid than the first compartment 12. Alternatively, other techniques or materials may be employed. For example, the second compartment 14 can be formed from glass.
Regardless of the exact construction, the integrally formed second compartment 14 preferably conforms to several dimensional constraints. For example, the second compartment 14 is preferably constructed to contain a single-serving quantity of dry consumable product (not shown). Thus, in one preferred embodiment, the internal storage region 60 is sized to contain approximately 210 mL (7.1 fluid ounces) of a dry consumable product. In light of this preferred volume and to facilitate a uniform appearance upon assembly to the first compartment 12 (FIG. 2), the bottom 50 and the body portion 56 both provide a maximum outer dimension (preferably diameter) OD2 of approximately 2.4 inches (▒0.5 inch). A height of the second compartment 14 (from the bottom 50 to a top of the mouth 54) is preferably approximately 5.5 inches (▒0.5 inch) (or slightly taller than the first compartment 12), with the mouth 54 having a preferred height of approximately 0.5 inch (▒0.1 inch). Finally, the opening 72 formed by the mouth 54 is preferably sized to promote controlled flow of a dry consumable product therefrom, and corresponds with the crescent transverse shape of the mouth 54. With this in mind, the opening 72 is generally transversely defined by a convex diameter (via the outer wall 70) of approximately 1.5 inch (▒0.5 inch). Alternatively, other dimensions are also acceptable for the second compartment 14. Further, the second compartment 14 can contain a liquid consumable product.
While the first and second compartments 12, 14 are preferably formed independent of one another, they are sized and shaped to effectuate a uniform appearance for the container 10 upon final assembly as shown in
With specific reference to
The spout 24 and the mouth 54 combine to define a pour region 80 for the container 10. With respect to the transverse, top view of
Returning to
The wrapper 18 is provided to secure the first compartment 12 and the second compartment 14. In one preferred embodiment, the wrapper 18 is a shrink label formed about the compartments 12, 14. Alternatively or in addition, a variety of other attachment techniques can be employed. For example, the first compartment 12 can be welded or glued to the second compartment 14. Further, the first and second compartments 12, 14 can be configured to frictionally engage each other upon final assembly, such as with a snap fit. Regardless, the first and second compartments 12, 14 are preferably relatively permanently assembled to one another so that a consumer is unlikely to separate or re-use the compartments 12, 14 individually.
While the compartments 12, 14 have been described as preferably integrally forming the spout 24 and the mouth 54, respectively, other constructions are also available. For example, the compartments 12, 14 can be formed as relatively straight (i.e., non-tapering) bodies, that following assembly to one another, have a separate cover placed across one or both compartments. The cover defines the necessary flow holes (i.e., the passage 42 (
The preferred container 10 is available for containing a number of different consumable products. In a preferred embodiment, however, the first compartment 12 contains a liquid consumable product, preferably milk; and the second compartment 14 contains a dry consumable product, preferably a ready-to-eat cereal. With these preferred comestibles in mind, the container 10 is configured to promote storage of milk in a sterilized environment, preferably an aseptically sterile environment, to provide an extended shelf life or ultra-pasteurized product on a mass production basis. For example, one preferred method of manufacture in accordance with the present invention entails providing the first compartment 12 as previously described. The first compartment 12 is then sterilized. In this regard, regulations relating to storage of milk allow for an increased shelf life where the milk is stored within an aseptically sterilized environment. As such, the first compartment 12 is preferably aseptically sanitized with an appropriate sterilizing solution. A desired volume of milk (or other liquid consumable product) is then dispensed into the first compartment 12, again in a sterile environment. For example, four fluid ounces of milk are poured into the first compartment 12, although other volumes are equally acceptable. The first compartment 12 is then sealed, such as by applying the film or foil membrane 76 across the spout 24.
A dry consumable product, preferably ready-to-eat cereal, is dispensed into the second compartment 14. In this regard, a preferred dry consumable product is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/781,583, entitled "Portable Container Separately Containing Two Consumable Products, And a Dry Consumable Product, Especially RTE Cereal, For Use Therewith", filed on even date herewith, the teachings of which are incorporated by reference. Notably, the second compartment 14 is preferably sanitized prior to receiving the dry consumable product, but need not necessarily be aseptically sterilized. In this regard, the second compartment 14 can be filled at an area or room remote from the area or room at which the first compartment 12 is filled. Further, the first and second compartments 12, 14 can be filled with the respective consumable products concurrently, or at different points in time. In fact, a mass quantity of first compartments 12 can be filled with milk at one location, while a mass quantity of second compartments 14 are filled with ready-to-eat cereal at a different location. With this preferred methodology, there is no opportunity for the preferred aseptic sterilization solution to contact or otherwise deteriorate the quality of the ready-to-eat cereal (or other dry consumable product).
The first and second compartments 12, 14 are then assembled to one another, such as by securing the wrapper 18 about the compartments 12, 14. Alternatively, the second compartment 14 can be assembled to the first compartment 12 in an empty state, and the dry consumable product then dispensed into the second compartment 14. Regardless, once the second compartment 14 has been filled, the mouth 54 is covered, such as by a foil membrane 76 and/or the cap 16.
Following manufacture, the container 10 is made available to a consumer (not shown). To consume the contained products, the consumer simply removes the cap 16 and any other closure devices (such as the foil membrane 76 otherwise applied to the spout 24). The container 10 is then grasped, preferably with a single hand, and directed toward the user's mouth (not shown). In this regard, it is preferred that the container 10 be oriented such that the mouth 54 is "above" the spout 24 as the container 10 is tilted, as shown, for example, in FIG. 6. This preferred orientation is suggested by one preferred configuration of the container 10, whereby the compartments 12, 14 have slightly differing contours that visually indicates to the consumer that the first compartment 12 is the "front" of the container 10, as previously described.
As the container 10 is tilted, milk (or other liquid consumable product) 90 flows from the first compartment 12 via the spout 24, and cereal (or other dry consumable product) 92 flows from the second compartment 14 via the mouth 54. Because the first compartment 12 is slightly shorter than the second compartment 14, the mouth 54 effectively prevents undesired backflow of milk 90 into the second compartment 14. In one preferred embodiment, the first compartment 12 is constructed to be relatively flexible or squeezable. As such, to temporarily increase the flow of milk 90 from the second compartment 12, the consumer (not shown) simply squeezes the first compartment 12. A consumer can further regulate the flow of milk 90 by simply placing his or her tongue over the spout 24, and in particular the passage 42 (FIG. 3). The passage 42 can be partially or entirely blocked, as desired, without interfering with the flow of cereal 92. Further, both products 90, 92 are easily, concurrently consumed by the consumer because the spout 24 and the mouth 54, and thus the passage 42 and the opening 72 (FIG. 4), are in close proximity to one another. Finally, with the second compartment 14 preferably being "over" the first compartment 12 during a pouring operation, the opportunity for obstruction of the cereal 92 within the second compartment 14, or at the opening 72, is minimized. In particular, as shown in phantom in
Following consumption, the container 10 is preferably recycled or otherwise disposed of. In this regard, the container 10 is configured as a single use device. Because the first and second compartments 12, 14 are relatively permanently secured to one another, they cannot easily be disassembled. Further, the only access afforded to the internal storage region 30 of the first compartment 12 is via the passage 42 in the spout 24. To this end, the passage 42 is relatively small in transverse cross-section, rendering cleaning of the first compartment 12 by a consumer (not shown) virtually impossible. Thus, the consumer will not be tempted to reuse the container 10 to store milk (or other liquid consumable product) within the first compartment 12, as the first compartment 12 cannot be cleaned. Also, the relatively small size of the passage 42 greatly impedes refilling of the first compartment 12, further discouraging reuse of the container 10. To a lesser extent, the second compartment 14 presents the same beneficial obstacles due to the relatively small size of the opening 72 formed by the mouth 54. As a result, a preferred configuration of the container 10 eliminates the manufacturer risks otherwise associated with reusable designs.
The container of the present invention provides a marked improvement over previous designs. The dual, side-by-side compartment design separately contains both milk (or other liquid consumable product) and cereal (or other dry consumable product), and promotes simultaneous dispensing of the consumable products in close proximity to one another. To this end, a size of the respective passage in the first (or liquid) compartment and opening in the second (or dry) compartment promotes dispensing of desired aliquots of each product. Further, the method of manufacture of the container promotes containment of milk (or other liquid consumable product) in a preferably aseptically sanitized environment, resulting in a packaged good article with an enhanced shelf-life. The container is highly convenient from both a manufacturing and consumption vantage point.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein for purposes of description of the preferred embodiment, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that a wide variety of alternate and/or equivalent implementations calculated to achieve the same purposes may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown and described without departing from the scope of the present invention. Those with skill in the chemical, mechanical, electro-mechanical, electrical, and computer arts will readily appreciate that the present invention may be implemented in a very wide variety of embodiments. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the preferred embodiments discussed herein. Therefore, it is manifestly intended that this invention be limited only by the claims and the equivalents thereof. For example, the first compartment has been described as preferably containing milk. Alternatively, other liquid consumable products, such as water, soda pop, juice, beer, coffee, etc. are equally acceptable. Similarly, the second compartment is not necessarily limited to a ready-to-eat cereal. Instead, other dry consumable products, such as nuts, crackers, chips, etc., can be contained. Even further, a dry consumable product can be contained by the first compartment and a liquid consumable product can be contained by the second compartment. Also, both compartments can contain a liquid consumable product or a dry consumable product.

Ledyard — A home at 19 South Glenwoods Road was severely damaged in an early morning fire.
Gales Ferry Fire Chief Anthony Saccone said the fire was reported at 1:30 a.m.
He said the occupants of the home two adults, one child and a dog safely managed to get out of the house. He said smoke detectors alerted them to the fire.
When fire crews arrived, Saccone said there was heavy fire to the front and rear of the house.
He said fire crews initially had some trouble fighting the blaze because an electrical line that provides power to the home had fallen onto the driveway.
"We had to work around it until power was shut off," said Saccone.
Saccone said the fire caused significant damage to most of the house. He said it took 40 minutes to get the fire under control.
He said one firefighter was treated and released at an area hospital for a cut to the leg.
The rear along with the side of the home is completely charred. The roof also appears to be heavily damaged by the fire.
Firefighters had cleared the scene by 6 a.m. The local fire marshal along with the state fire marshal remained at the scene.
Saccone said that the family did not request assistance from the American Red Cross and had made arrangements to stay somewhere else.
In addition to Gales Ferry, Ledyard and Mohegan Tribal fire departments also responded.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

delay the overbridge construction.
Added costs would not be known until further design work

''We had planned on completing the bridge works this year,

Mr Underwood said the cavity did not extend underneath the

''It is an engineering challenge.''
The cavity was part of a wider, complex geological picture of

''managed'' to suit, he said.
The cavity is within a layer of sandstone, which is 5m-7m

- Keep in mind that this card's destruction effect is mandatory, so if your opponent controls no face-up cards, you will be forced to target 1 of your own.
- Combo with "Noble Knight Medraut" that is equipped with a "Noble Arms" Equip Card that can re-equip after being destroyed:
- Special Summon this card via the effect of "Medraut", then re-quip the destroyed "Noble Arms" card to this card. This will trigger its effect and destroy a face-up card on the field. This card will then serve to protect "Medraut" from attacks and targeting card effects. In the event this card leaves the field or is flipped face-down, you can re-equip the "Noble Arms" card(s) equipped to it back to "Medraut" for protection.
- Use this card to protect "Noble Knight" monsters that have had their ATK decreased by the effect of "Noble Arms - Arfeudutyr".
- After using the effect of "Arfeudutyr", use monster effects such as those of "Noble Knight Gwalchavad", "Noble Knight Bedwyr", or "Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn" to force that Equip Card to re-equip to this card, triggering its effect to destroy an opponent's card. Then use the effect of "Arfeudutyr" again, to destroy a total of 3 of your opponent's cards in 1 turn.
- During your Battle Phase, if you control this card and another "Noble Knight" monster equipped with "Noble Arms - Caliburn" and "Noble Arms - Gallatin", attack with that other monster first. Afterwards, use a card like "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Double Cyclone", etc. to destroy 1 of those Equip Cards and re-equip to this monster. Then, use this card's effect to destroy the other Equip Card, in order to re-equip to this monster as well. This can help enable OTKs, inflicting a lot of damage at the very least.
- Alternatively, use this card's effect to destroy an opponent's monster, or use the effect of "Noble Knight Bedwyr" to re-equip the first Equip Card.

Don't miss an interview with Gordon Ramsay.
©2006 Gordon Ramsay Holdings Ltd; (P)2006 HarperCollins Publishers, London, UK
"Do wish it was unabridged though. . ."
I am a massive Ramsay fan. He has such a passion, intensity and energy for his work it is incredibly inspiring. His story was so genuine and heartfelt and I absolutely loved it.
Also, not always the case when an author narrates their own story - I found his narration to be superb.
"Humble Ramsay"
A candid look into the early years of Gordon Ramsay. This was a great listen narrated by the author. Fingers are crossed for an Unabridged version.
"Gordon Ramsay Revealed"
Gordon Ramsay is so much more than his over-bearing, sometimes caustic personality. Listening to his story gave an understanding of why he is so driven and holds such high expectations. It also shows that he has just as big a heart as his personality.
He lets us in to so much of his early personal life. His issues with his dad and how that shaped who he became spoke to me.
He is so kind of a person and that doesn't always come through when you watch his shows. Also, that he is such a strong person who has overcome adversity to come out on top.
I was lucky enough to be on a road trip and could listen to it in one sitting. I didn't stop as often as I normally would because I wanted to finish it.
"Interesting Insight but Not a Tell All Biography"
I have not read the print version but I would immediately answer yes. Gordon has such a unique way of delivering his thoughts that having him narrate his own book is what truly makes it entertaining and worth listening to. As with many, I enjoy when an author narrates their own book and this is no different. It felt like I was being told stories instead of reading a book about someone's life. I would have preferred to hear the unabridged version but it was still enjoyable. Some of his stories went into great detail while others just touched the surface: this was not a tell all autobiography as many would desire but it does give some background into Gordon Ramsay's life that otherwise would have been unknown to me. Being such a big fan of him, I was happy to get to know a little more about the real person he is.
I enjoyed hearing about Gordon's childhood. In his most formative years he had to deal with issues that are not easy and often lead to people taking a very dark path in life, as was the case with his brother. To hear about how this helped fuel his passion gave a little insight into what makes him tick.
Gordon's performance was great and I think made the book enjoyable. Any other narrator would not have done it justice.
Restaurant King
I really enjoyed listening about the life of Gordon Ramsay told by Gordon Ramsay. I did not like that it was abridged... I want more detail.
"Hell's Kitchen!"
If you respect one of the world's top chefs, you will enjoy Gordon's autobiographical account of his rise to stardom. Funny yet touching.
I'm just a guy who hates Small talk, thanks to audible and a good set of ear buds. Not shopping, not even waiting rooms are a problem.
"This dude pulls no punches"
Absolutely , the man is a cullenary genius. And a bit of a jerk... And unapologetic about. He knows that in the kitchen there's only one way, HIS way
Kitchen confidential
His honesty
One of many that needs to be unabridged
Like everything Gordon Ramsay does, this book is brilliant. I only wish there were the unabridged version available
"Invited il"
We all know Gordon Ramsey, but like many others you don't realize the struggles that people go through to get to where they are. This is a good book that I would recommend.
"Humble Pie - Wow!"
This was my first choice on Audible. I thought it may be interesting and give an insight into a well known man. I was very surprised by the book. It is extremely well written and Gordon narrates well, there are moments when you can hear the emotion in his voice.
This book has given me a very different view of Gordon Ramsay. I actually thought he was loud, rude and insensitive. I was very wrong. This book not only details his childhood and his career, it gives a real feel for what makes him tick and how he has become the man he is.
I would thoroughly recommend it. I listened to it in one session and played it again later.
"Eat It"
Told in the familiar tones of the Ramsey we all know, I found myself looking forward to listening to this on the commute to and from work. It gives a good insight into Ramsey's difficult upbringing, his 'near miss' of playing with Rangers, his early career and the fishbowl that is the London restaurant scene. I felt he was pretty honest about his influences, good and bad, his lucky breaks and his dedication to perfection that drives himself almost to distraction. In the end, you come away thinking that for all the money and fame, he's chosen a life that's never going to be an easy ride.
"Yes, chef, I like it."
This is a great story, brilliantly well told and narrated by Gordon himself. His breathy, chatty style is just right for the content. The first f...... h... comes as a bit of a shock (I kept expecting him to be bleeped!) but it is no holds barred as he describes his tough childhood and rise to the top. Skulduggery and backstabbing in the kitchen and his views on other chefs provide laughs, but his total passion for food, and, indeed, life comes over clearly. Humble he ain't, but obviously very proud of what he has achieved, and quite right too. Very inspiring.
"Fantastic, shame it's abridged!"
I'm a big Ramsay fan and really enjoyed hearing his story. Seriously inspiring guy, just shows life is really all about hard work. I just wish they'd have made an unabridged version, however as the book illustrates, he's a busy man!
"A different side to Gordon I was not expecting .."
This was very different from what I expected. Instead of the harsh gobby person we see on TV whose most popular words seems to be the F*** word, we see a different side to Ramsay. One that shows he has worked incredibly hard to get to where he is today, and that whilst he is obviously a showman also, he is a great chef, who worked tirelessly to be 'great' and has come from a very simple and poor upbringing. I met Ramsay when he was doing a makeover in Kitchen Nightmares once and he came across as passionate about food and getting it right, and this shone through, as did the loyalty he gets from his employees.
I think it helps that he reads it personally as you feel his passion and drive.
A great read/listen two, I couldn't put it down. I bought it for a trip and made the mistake of starting it just to see what it was like, and I couldn't put it down. A very interesting and enlightening listen.
"it all makes a lot more sense from villain to hero"
if you are into cooking definitely
a true incite into the real world and influences of a chef i admired but didn't used to like too much - i now have a lot more respect for him
the right length i listened to it all in 2 sittings
I love Gordan, but this has taken the biscuit. (Pardon the pun) for a brilliant, dramatic, well performed piece of work. I would love for him to go into more detail, and for the story itself to have more of a common thread, but other than that i would highly recommend it.
"A Good Read (Listen) from Gordon"
My views pretty much echo what already written, always been a fan of Gordon's and unlike some, never found him overly offensive (worked with more offensive but less talented chefs for a large part of my life). This story provides an interesting insight into his real thoughts, fears and accomplishments.
Gordon Ramsay has a gripping voice that hooks you straight away and that's you till the end, Sad,Funny & interesting, I loved it from start to finish...write another one please !!!
"Humble Pie"
enthralling listen with an insight into his life and how it moulded Ramsey's character and drive to be the best

Are High Interest Rates a Threat to Sustained Economic Recovery?
Date: June 15, 1998

Benefit-Cost Analysis and the Discount Rate for the Corps of Engineers' Water Resource Projects: Theory and Practice
Date: June 23, 2003
Creator: Powers, Kyna
Description: Construction of large water resource projects, such as those of the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), can be controversial because they involve trade-offs among various river uses, and between current and future generations. Pursuant to federal water project planning guidelines, the Corps weighs these trade-offs using benefit-cost analysis. If its analysis shows that a project's national economic development (NED) benefits exceed its NED costs, the Corps seeks project authorization from Congress. Congress authorizes the Corps to construct some of these large water projects through (usually) biennial Water Resource Development Acts. Since the Corps rarely recommends a project that does not have a benefit-cost ratio greater than 1.0, this report describes the decisions that influence this ratio, with a focus on the role of the discount rate.

Bank Failures: Recent Trends and Policy Options
Date: July 14, 1987
Creator: Smale, Pauline
Description: During the 1980s the U.S. banking industry has experienced a rapidly growing number of failures. Many factors have contributed to this trend including deregulation, technology, individual bank management, and economic conditions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) handles insured bank failures. Congress has been monitoring the recent trend and is concerned with the FDIC's ability to continue to perform its supervisory and insurance operations. The present situation, information on key factors affecting the banking industry, and the FDIC's role when a bank fails is discussed in this report. The reference section of this issue brief contains a list of CRS products providing background on the FDIC and legislative issues relevant to the agency.

Average Farm Subsidy Payments, by State, 2002
Date: September 16, 2004
Creator: Womach, Jasper
Description: The U.S. Department of Agriculture makes direct subsidy payments through the Commodity Credit Corporation to farmers for commodity price and income support, certain conservation and environmental activities, and some disaster losses. In 2002, these direct farm subsidy payments amounted to $12.151 billion. This report examines the distribution of these payments among states, calculates the average size of payments going to recipient farms in each state, and distinguishes between payments received by farm operators and landlords. This information is intended to aid in policy debates about subsidizing some farms but not others, changing per-person payment limits, and the altering eligibility rules for landlords to receive payments.

Budget Deficits: Causes, Effects and Some Remedial Options
Date: July 15, 1985
Creator: Grinnell, David & Cox, William A
Description: In 1981 Congress enacted extensive changes in taxing and spending policies that supporters of these changes expected to generate sufficient revenues, despite a series of tax rate cuts, to balance the budget by FY84. After the onset of recession in early 1982, however, the Reagan Administration's projections showed widening budget deficits, which culminated in an actual FY83 deficit of $195.4 billion. Despite enactment of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, and, more recently, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, large deficits are expected to persist, even under continued favorable economic conditions, unless Federal taxing and spending policies are altered dramatically.

A Summary of Prevailing Views on the Sources of Inflation
Date: January 30, 1981
Creator: Cashell, Brian W
Description: It is the purpose of this paper to present the range of viewpoints concerning the causes of inflation. Inflation is defined and distinguished from changes' in relative prices. The Monetarist, Post-Keynesian, and neo-Keynesian positions are discussed to illustrate the variety of perceptions as to the sources of sustained increases in the general price level.

The analytical foundations of conservation policy
Date: March 1, 1994
Creator: Sutherland, R.J.
Description: The conservation paradigm is described here as: (1) reflecting the policy goal of energy efficiency, (2) the investment model that market barrier inhibit energy efficiency investments and (3) the emphasis of engineering estimates of market efficiency. In contrast, the economics paradigm emphasizes: (1) economic efficiency and equity, (2) market failures or market imperfections as impediments to achieving economic efficiency and (3) the behavior of markets to make efficient choices. Market barriers discourage investments in energy efficiency, but this is irrelevant for policy purposes where energy efficiency differs from economic efficiency. Where market barriers discourage economically efficient investments, they are of dubious significance for policy purposes unless they are market failures. The market barriers alleged in the conservation literature typically do not coincide with market failures. In a competitive and efficient market economy, investments judged efficient by engineering and present value calculations will not instantaneously achieve a market share of 100 percent. Barriers that delay diffusion are not necessarily appropriate for Government policy.

"Never be the first to use a new drug, nor the last to discard an old one." These words, spoken by Louis S. Goodman, my pharmacology professor when I was a sophomore medical student, had real meaning for me some months ago.
A pharmaceutical company representative came to my office to describe the merits of a new product. I often meet socially with drug reps and occasionally listen to their formal presentations. The drug in question was one I use frequently in my specialty, but the delivery mechanism was new, and one with which I was not familiar. The rep's presentation was good, the accompanying explanatory material seemed appropriate, and my questions were answered very professionally. He ended his talk with a question: "Will you use our product?"
Dr Goodman's remark jumped into my mind, and I good-naturedly quoted it to the salesman. He smiled politely. We bantered back and

WDYT?? Some moms on facebook are giving a friend mine advice to use Karo Syrup..I think it's best to use an once or 2 of fruit juice. Thoughts?
Karo Syrup for infant constipation?
The doctor told me to do this for my sonm, it was 1 Tbsp per ounce of formula. Since my DS was formula fed I switched to a gentle formula (Gentleease) and it solved his problem instead
Jill...mommy to Ryan ♥ 2-26-07
My ped recommended it for DD after a week long bout of constipation. Prune Juice worked great as well!!
I'm not sure there's a ton of difference. I always used pedialyte, but then again my daughter has never really been terribly constipated. I'd start with a little apple/prune juice.
Our pediatrician gave us the dosage and we just put in DD's formula. Worked like a charm.
The top ten reasons to spay or neuter your pet just got euthanized at your local animal shelter.
When DD was constipated I called the pharmacy since her doctor's office was closed. He said the best thing is fruit juice and recommended prune juice. I went to the store to get some and when I got back she was no longer constipated. Not sure if it would have worked well, but the pharmacist was adament that you should never give an infant anything other than fruit juice unless instructed to do so by their doctor.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it is unfamiliar territory.
Is this a personal info vio??
My mom gave me this when I was a kid. She said it worked but I've never tried it.
I never tried that. If it's been more than 4 days and he seems to be straining I insert a Q-tip.......INSTANT POOP! But you are not suppose to do this very often as they will rely on the stimulation to go.
Nope. IT can carry botulism, just like honey. I wouldn't use it. There are lots of ways to treat constipation.
"This is a public board created for people to mind other people's business."
Our ped recommended it when DD was 1 week. It wasn't very much... we put it right into her bottles! Worked AWESOME.
"I don't say anything. I merely offer you a facial expression that suggests you've gone insane."

Cancer Health Center
Vaccine May Help Treat Advanced Melanoma
How the Vaccine Works continued...
The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"This is a first vaccine study in melanoma that really shows an effect. This is fascinating," says Arkadiusz Dudek, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota's Masonic Cancer Center in Minneapolis.
Dudek recently reviewed the clinical evidence behind vaccines for melanoma, but he was not involved in the current research.
But for several reasons, he says, "It's not a home run."
For one thing, he says, there's no way for doctors to predict which patients might have a response to the vaccine treatment.
And the vaccine can't be used in everyone. The inoculation only works in people with a certain type of protein signature on the surface of their cells, called an HLA type, though researchers said the vaccine could be tailored, in the future, to work with different HLA types.
Patients also have to be healthy enough to withstand the toxic effects of treatment, which can be significant.
But for patients who are battling advanced melanoma, which is one of the deadliest kinds of cancer, any options, even limited ones, are likely to be welcome news.
"Cancer patients want to do something to fight their cancer, but if you have stage II or stage III disease, the standard of care is observation," says Tim Turnham, PhD, executive director of the Melanoma Research Foundation in Washington, D.C. "That's really tough for patients."
Using Vaccines to Fight Cancer
For the study, researchers recruited 185 patients at 21 centers across the U.S.
To be eligible for the study, patients had to have metastatic melanoma, either stage IV or locally advanced stage III, and they had to be HLA-type A0201, a tissue type carried by about half of people in the U.S.
All patients received high-dose IL-2 therapy. IL-2 was approved by the FDA in 1998 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.
About half of patients, 91, were randomly assigned to also receive the experimental gp100 vaccine. That vaccine uses a protein found on the surface of cancer cells to flag those cells so they can be destroyed by the immune system.

Brief Synopsis
In the year since the revolution, Tunisia has achieved what no other Arab Spring country has managed: peaceful transition to democratic rule through national elections widely viewed to be free and fair. The legacy of the previous regime, however, remains. Dr. Querine Hanlon assesses the prospects for Security Sector Reform (SSR) in Tunisia and concludes that Tunisia's new government faces major challenges dismantling and reorienting the mandate and institutional culture of Tunisia's labyrinth of security institutions. Serious SSR will be critical for building trust in the new governments and its security institutions and essential if Tunisia's transition to democratic rule is to succeed in the long term.

Graeme Anderson has spent the past three years on the road.
The Waikouaiti man is a familiar fixture with his caravan,
serving coffee, bacon butties and whitebait patties, in
season, beside the Waikouaiti River on State Highway 1.
Mr Anderson, who broke his back in an accident, got the idea
of a caravan while at a rugby game one day ''instead of doing
nothing for the rest of my life''.
With the help of a carpenter friend, he remodelled a caravan
and fitted it out.
There were ''ups and downs'' when it came to business, not to
mention the trucks ''throwing gravel'' during strong
northwest winds, but it was a ''gorgeous spot'' to be parked,
he said.
During the whitebait season, Mr Anderson has a net sitting
out the back of his caravan and is usually at work at 6am.
There was a ''huge mix'' of clients - ''every day you don't
know who you're talking to'' - including sales
representatives and truck drivers.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

I'll try to make this as simple as possible. I'm working on a site right now which you can see at http://wordpress.myecsinc.com. Keep in mind this is a TEST site and it is not done, that being said theres a lot of errors here and there but I plan on fixing it all.
Anyhow, when I check out the site in IE8 compatibility view, two of the images at the bottom end up smushed together (so to speak). When I get out of compatibility view it looks just as it should. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and how I could fix it?
I tried to attach a screenshot but it won't let me since I'm new to this site. Just open up the site in IE8 and switch to compatibility view and you'll see what I mean.
Thank you in advance!

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
There is an initiative under way to revamp the way FDA approaches orphan drug development that goes above and beyond the 1983 Orphan Drug Act. The 2010 Brownback/Brown amendment was created as a market-based approach to address rare and neglected diseases by incentivizing biotech and pharmaceutical companies to invest in drugs for these conditions.
The first push to incentivize drug companies to develop therapies for orphan diseases, the 1983 U.S. Orphan Drug Act, was focused more on the economic incentives for drug development as market size was inherently limited. Companies were given seven years of data exclusivity, approval application fee waivers, and tax credits for up to 50% of R&D costs.
The Brownback/Brown amendment requires formation of an FDA team that will submit a report to Congress by March 11, 2011. The document is supposed to cover current issues regarding development as well as approval of therapies for rare and neglected diseases. As per the Brownback/Brown amendment, FDA held an open public hearing to gather suggestions.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

The BMW owner has put snow chains on his front tyres
hahahahahahahaha, brilliant! I guess it's not too bad if he put them on the rear too, but only the front is full of win!
When me A4 was smashed i considered a BMW 320d to replace it. I have now decided that I would still love a BMW, but only as a summer car. I just couldn't be bothered with the hassle in the snow/ ice.
