This portable car ramp has two structural components coupled longitudinally together, while allowing limited relative vertical movement when each's bottom edge rest on a medium surface. The first component has an elevated wheel run while the second component has an inclined wheel run. When coupled together, the component wheel runs are longitudinally aligned, meeting at a corner, so that a vehicle wheel can roll up the inclined run, over the corner, and onto the elevated run, and vice-versa. Friction pads fixed to the second component bottom edge increase resistance against ramp sliding along the medium surface, particularly with the wheel supported on the inclined wheel run. The first component has no bottom edge friction pads so that car ramp sliding along the medium surface is possible, such as should the wheel be rolled against a stop on the elevated wheel run.
1-8. (canceled)
9. A portable car ramp, comprising the combination of
first and second separate structural components each having thereon respective generally planar bottom edges suited to be supported on a substantially flat medium surface, and
said first component having an elevated wheel run extended generally parallel to but elevated above said bottom edge thereof, and
said second component having an inclined wheel run generally elevated above said bottom edge thereof but extended between opposite lower and higher ends respectively that are even generally with its bottom edge and with the first component elevated wheel run;
cooperating formations angled generally normal to the bottom edges on the respective components operable with limited clearances therebetween to telescope and to interlock the components together against movement in the direction of the elevated wheel run, while allowing relative component shifting in the direction normal to the bottom edges,
whereby with the elevated end of the inclined wheel run component disposed adjacent the elevated wheel run component, a vehicle wheel can roll up or down the inclined wheel run and onto or off the elevated wheel run, and wheel weight is carried only on the structural component that the wheel is on; and
a unitary friction pad having
a first portion secured to the inclined wheel run component proximate the bottom edge thereof and lower end of the inclined wheel run suited to lie against the medium surface, and
a second portion extended several inches away from and aligned with the inclined wheel run and suited also to lie against the medium surface,
whereby wheel weight on the second portion of the friction pad and on inclined wheel run component compresses said friction pad against the medium surface to resist ramp sliding along the medium surface, while wheel weight on the elevated wheel run component provides no compression of the friction pad which then is ineffective in resisting ramp sliding along the medium surface.
10. A portable car ramp according to
11. A portable car ramp according to
Portable car ramps are used for increasing vertical clearance beneath a vehicle having its wheels otherwise supported on a flat horizontal garage floor, driveway, or like support medium, so that a worker can repair, or service the vehicle from the underside thereof.
A typical portable car ramp will have bottom structure that can be rested in a stable manner on the support medium, a generally level wheel run extended substantially parallel to but elevated above the support medium, and an inclined wheel run extended between one end of the elevated wheel run and the support medium. The vehicle wheel can be rolled up the inclined run to the elevated run, and along it until restrained by a stop adjacent the opposite run end.
Popular portable car ramps might be about a foot wide, three to six feet long, and provide vertical wheel lifts between possibly six and fifteen inches with the inclined runs pitched between possibly ten and twenty five degrees.
Both sides of the vehicle frame can be elevated if two like car ramps are used, where both front wheels or both rear wheels can then be simultaneously rolled up the respective ramps and onto the respective elevated runs. To stabilize any vehicle supported on the ramps, a vehicle wheel yet on the support medium can be blocked.
One problem associated with car ramp use is that when the wheel weight is on the inclined run, particularly when the wheel is being rolled up the inclined run, horizontal vector forces are generated against the ramp tending to slide it along the support medium in the direction away from the vehicle. When severe sliding tendency exists, ramp bracing by external devices might be necessary.
However, permitting some car ramp sliding along the support medium might be beneficial, to reduce the possibility of the rolling wheel hitting and rolling over a nor-yielding end stop and rolling then off of the ramp.
A further drawback of many known car ramps is their bulky size and/or heavy weight, making it difficult to move them about during use and/or to store them.
An object of this invention is to provide a portable car ramp comprised of separate components, respectively having thereon the inclined and elevated wheel runs, with means to separably couple the components together so that the runs are longitudinally aligned and meet. This allows a vehicle wheel to be rolled between either respective component, which then carries most if not all of the wheel weight.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a friction pad fixed to the underside of the inclined run component suited to rest on the support medium and resist sliding of the inclined run component along the support medium when wheel weight is on the inclined run. The pad further might be part of an elongated mat aligned with and extended away from the inclined run to have the vehicle wheel on the mat when first rolling up the inclined run, for further precluding the inclined run component from sliding along the support medium before and as the wheel rolls up the inclined run.
A further object of this invention is to provide the elevated wheel run component with no underside friction means that will engage the support medium, so that wheel weight transfer from the inclined run component to the elevated run component might allow ramp sliding along the support medium for reducing possible wheel override off of the elevated run.
The above and other objects and advantages of this invention can be more fully understood and appreciated after reviewing the following specification, including as a part thereof the accompanying drawings wherein:
The illustrated portable car ramp 10 is made is made up of two major structural components 20, 50, respectively having thereon an inclined wheel run 21 and an elevated wheel run 51. The components 20, 50 have cooperating telescoping socket and pin formations 22, 52 adapted to separably couple the components 20, 50 together longitudinally of the wheel runs 21, 51, while allowing limited freedom of movement otherwise.
When the components 20, 50 are coupled, bottom edges 23, 53 (see
The elevated wheel run 51 and the bottom edge 53 of component 50 should be extended along substantially parallel planes; and their separation defines the approximate vertical lift above the support medium 12 of a vehicle wheel 14 e (see
These structural ramp components 20, 50 are preferably injection molded from a durable thermal plastic, such as polypropylene, such as to have unitary respective top walls 25, 55, and the side walls 26, 56 and end walls 27, 57, 57E depending downwardly therefrom. Further, internal reinforcing walls or webs 28L, 28T, 58L, 58T are integrally extended between these walls and themselves, much in the manner of a honeycomb configuration. The side and end walls and the honeycomb webs are disposed substantially normal (except for possible molding drafts) to, and are open at, the bottom edges 23, 53. This provides that the components 20, 50 have great vertical load carrying strength while yet are lightweight.
Friction pads 30 (
A wheel stop 64 can be formed at the rear end of the elevated run 51, such as by curving top wall 55 upwardly, rearwardly, and then downwardly to blend with rear end wall 57E. Further, raised guide edges 35, 65 can be formed laterally adjacent both wheel runs 21, 51, by extending the component side walls 26, 56 in the same manner slightly above the wheel runs and then blending with the top walls 25, 55.
Note that as the vehicle wheel rolling along the wheel runs 21, 51 passes over the corner 33, the wheel weight transfers from being totally on the inclined run component 20 to being totally on the elevated run component 50, or vice versa. The elevated wheel run component 50 has no friction pads 30 or the like on its supporting bottom edge 53, and being of hard plastic, it can slide more easily along the support medium 12 compared to the component 20.
With these differentials of the wheel weight carried on and the drag of the inclined and elevated run components, the car ramp 10 beneficially is more apt to remain stationary when the wheel rides up the inclined run 21 to counteract the tendency to slide because of vector forces against the ramp, and is more apt to have the car ramp slide when a rolling wheel 14E on the elevated run 51 hits against the stop 60. Thus, the car ramp 10 is easier to ride up onto and is less likely to allow wheel overriding the stop and falling off the elevated run 51.
A mat 37 further can be secured relative to the inclined run component 20 under the lower front portion thereof, as against a notched portion of the internal reinforcing side walls 26 and webs 28L, 28T. Snugly cooperating openings 39 and posts 40 on the component 20 and mat 37 can be used to fasten the mat 37 soundly to the component 20. A upturned tab 42 on the mat 37 further can be positioned against a rear face of the internal webs 28T to strengthen the connection of the mat longitudinally of the component 20.
The mat 37 might extend possibly one-half foot or so longitudinally away from of inclined run 22, to define a positioning wheel run 41 lying directly on the support medium 12 that is longitudinally aligned with the adjacent inclined wheel run 21. The mat 37 can be formed of a compressible durable high friction material, such as rubber, and be sized to be compressed slightly when the component is against the support medium. The friction pads 30 and mat 37 can be formed from the same piece.
With the positioning and inclined runs 41, 21 being fixed relative to one another longitudinally, with the vehicle wheel 14 on the positioning run 41 the mat 37 is biased against the medium support whereupon even typical frictional drag between the ramp and medium support will hold the ramp firmly in place until the wheel 14 reaches the inclined run 21. As the vehicle wheel initially rides up the inclined run 41, the increased drag of the friction pads 30 should continue to hold the ramp in place without any ramp sliding, as noted above.
The cooperating telescoping socket and pin formations 22, 52 can be formed in conical shapes, on longitudinal axes generally perpendicular to the bottom edge 23 of the component 20, with the largest cross-sections located adjacent the bottom edge 23. The cooperating formations are sized and shaped to complement one another for achieving strong longitudinal coupling connection together but without axial binding, for allowing easy coupling or decoupling of the components. This connection further will allow vertical shifting between the structural components when such are properly supported on a solid medium surface, thereby providing that substantially all vertical wheel forces will be transferred from one component to the other as the wheel rolls across the corner edge 24. The coupling connection lastly will preclude decoupling of component 20 from the component 50 when a vehicle wheel 14E is supported on the component 50.
The separate structural component 20, 50 can thus be coupled or interlocked together for easy ramp set up, but otherwise can be decoupled or separated for easy separate component movement about or for ramp storage.
While a single embodiment has been disclosed, others could be possible and even be more popular. However, the invention is to be defined not only by the disclosure but by the scope of the following claims.

Many women don't enjoy giving hand jobs, so you may be interested in teaching her these 5 sex techniques that women love when giving hand jobs. These make it a more interactive and fun activity, and less like a chore for her. Because if she doesn't enjoy giving a hand job, who enjoys receiving it?
- Don't ignore the testicles. Involving the testicles in hand jobs keeps things interesting for the woman giving the hand job, as well as the man receiving. This can be as simple as lightly manipulating them between your fingers as you stroke the penis.
- Use lube. A generous amount of lube can make things more comfortable and prevent chafing. If you use an interesting warming or tingling lubricant it can also add to the pleasure.
- If you're both feeling adventurous try a little anal play. You don't have to do much, it can just be a little pressure on the perineum with the woman's finger or she can go further. This can increase the sensations for the man, and women love to be able to give their man this kind of orgasm from a hand job.
- Experiment with hand placement. It varies from man to man and penis to penis. Some men prefer a lot of play with the head, while others prefer stimulation down on the shaft. Communication is the best thing to keep in mind while giving or receiving hand jobs.
- Mutual masturbation is a great addition. If she's getting as much attention as you are she's going to love giving you a hand job, and as a result you will love it as well.

The city of Detroit isn't looking too pretty to date. On July 18th as many know, Detroit filed for bankruptcy after falling an estimated $20 billion in debt to over 100,000 creditors. Due to the inability for the city government to provide for goods and services it once could, common emergency calls are questionable on reply, police hours have been cut back, and ambulance and fire services are not completely reliable. Other services such as education and social benefits from the state-run workplace are showing decline as well.
With much of the city in disarray and literally moving away, the cost of living has gone down dramatically with housing prices in some cases reaching only a single dollar. Taking advantage of the opportunity to cash in on cashless houses, Michigan market-anarchists from the "Michigan Peace and Liberty Coalition" are coming together to put "theory into reality" when it comes to free markets. The group has deemed the project "Free Detroit" and they mean business, literally.

In my implementation of a Hash Table, my hash function simply takes the value of the item I pass, call hashCode (inherited from the Object class), and modulo the size of the internal array. This internal array is an array of LinkedLists. Now if my LinkedLists become too long (and my efficiency begins to slip from O(1) to O(n)), I figured it would make sense to simply grow the size of the array. But that's where my problems lie, since I stated I hash the items I pass and modulo the size of the array (which has just changed). If I were to continue, wouldn't the hashes point to different indices in the array, thus lose the ability to refer to items in my hash table? How could I solve this?
You need the actual hash values for each of the items so that you can put them into the correct hash chain in the resized table. (Otherwise, as you observed, the items are liable to end up on the wrong chain and to not be locatable as a result.)
There are two ways to deal with this:

George Clooney Stars in, Directs, Discusses The Ides of March With Movie Fanaticby Free Britney at . Comments
In The Ides of March, which hits theaters Friday, an up-and-coming press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a major political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate (George Clooney)'s shot at the presidency.
While some have drawn parallels to the Rielle Hunter scandal that derailed the career of John Edwards, Clooney tells Movie Fanatic in an interview that his character and the story at large were not based on any particular politician.
Moreover, the film is more about moral choices than politics.
"We're reflecting the mood of our country and our world," Clooney said. "If the film reflects some of the cynicism, that's probably good, it's not a bad thing to hold up a mirror to our politicians. But that wasn't what the film was designed to do."
"There isn't a person you have met that hasn't been met with moral questions," he adds. "Everyone makes moral choices to better themselves and hurt others along the way and whether the means justifies the ends."
Clooney discussed the movie's complex themes and raved about its cast, which includes Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
For the legendary actor's take on the film, read Movie Fanatic's exclusive George Clooney interview. Then watch The Ides of March trailer below ...
George Clooney is the Cary Grant of our era. With an aura of mystery blended in with his smooth good looks, he remains a true gentleman in the arena of dating attractive women. When the relationship ends, he has Nothing bad to say about his ex, and she is able to move on without a bad word about him. By all definition George Clooney is a Class Act!!

More than 60 concerts will take place at home and abroad this year
The Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra (OPMC)'s new season, under the artistic and musical direction of Gianluigi Gelmetti, has been organised to include many different musical styles.
The "Grand Saison" will bring together fifteen concerts which will take place at the Rainier III Auditorium and at Grimaldi Forum. This series will show off the Orchestra's grand symphonic concerts.
Five "Salle Garnier" concerts are also planned. These slightly smaller performances of classical works will take place at the Monte-Carlo Opera.
A cine-concert (a concert along with the projection of a film) will also be included in this series.
The Église Saint-Charles will also host four spiritual concerts which will be free and open to all.
Three "Jeune Public" concerts will also be offered for children accompanied by their parents at the Rainier III Auditorium.
As far as the early evening is concerned, the twelve Happy Hour Musicals have been a great success along with the series of chamber music concerts.
Two travelling concerts will also visit the Maison de l'Amérique Latine in Monaco. There will be a reception after the concert finishes where spectators can get to know the musicians over drinks in a friendly atmosphere.
The Philharmonic Orchestra will take part in various events throughout the year, including the Gala of the Rainier III Music Academy, the Princess Grace Dance Academy's Gala, and the Génération Virtuoses festival in Antibes.
In July and August, six concerts will take place in the Prince's Palace, which will be a magical opportunity for an international audience to listen to the orchestra and its soloists.
Finally, the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra will perform not only inside the Principality but in countries such as France, China, Italy and more.

After building a steady buzz down South off his "All Gold Everything" anthem, Atlanta rapper Trinidad James has inked a deal with mega music label Def Jam.
Both James and Def Jam Recordings President Joie Manda confirmed the unexpected power move Thursday (December 13).
"Def Jam, thank you for believing," says Trinidad James. The signing also includes a joint venture with the rapper's Gold Gang Records. Trinidad is now on the same imprint as Kanye West, 2 Chainz and more. "We're excited to welcome a young talent like Trinidad James to the Def Jam family," Joie Manda says. "Def Jam prides itself as both a cornerstone of hip-hop's rich tradition, and as a vital, forward-thinking label dedicated to breaking and nurturing emerging artists. Trinidad James represents the cutting-edge of what's happening in the culture today. We are thrilled to have him at the label, and look forward to growing his already massive buzz." (Billboard)
Buzz over an alleged $2 million Def Jam deal bubbled online yesterday (December 12).
During Trinidad James' sold-out show at Santos Party House, label executives from both Def Jam and Atlantic Records were in attendance. "Joie [Manda], Pecas, Chris Atlas, Barry Weiss on The Def Jam side & [Mike] Keyser on the Atlantic side at Trinidad James show," tweeted XXL's executive editor Jayson Rodriguez. Now, rumored reports say that the rapper has settled a deal with Def Jam for $2 million. (XXL Mag)
The rap newcomer rose from working at a clothing store to turning into hip-hop's most-talked about rapper right now.
Like everything about James' sudden rise from Atlanta scenester (he was working at Ginza clothing boutique in downtown Atlanta when he decided to become a rapper) to hip-hop star, the oversold show sparked cynicism. But Trinidad's unlikely-yet-forseeable rise marks an important moment for Atlanta, an attempt to reassert its dominance in an era where regional styles, broadcast cheaply and easily on the Internet, have the potential to upset the city's long-running centrality to hip-hop. One man's "gimmick" is another's style. If rappers were forced to abandon "gimmicks," the genre would suffer. Many times, those "gimmicks" are shorthand for charisma and personality. Like any Internet-driven phenomenon, James has attracted his share of detractors. Many of their concerns are unfair; a hit song is a hit song, and "All Gold Everything" qualifies, at least by the modest measure of YouTube success. (Atlanta Black Star)

SPOTTED: Kanye, John Legend & Selita Ebanks At The US Open
Sep 02 | by YBF
Who knew Kanye and John Legend were tennis fans? The two were spotted at friend Andy Roddick's U.S. Open tennis match yesterday in NYC. Read on to see the pics...
Kanye, John Legend, and a few other celebs showed up to watch Andy Roddick take on Serbian player Janko Tipsarevic.
I wonder what Kanye is thinking about?
Gossip girl Jessica Szhor sat right behind Kanye and Selita Ebanks.
'Ye still seems happy although Roddick lost the match.
John and Christine sat in Andy's VIP section:
I guess he's explaining the game to her.

Maxwell & Kanye are friends.
Maxwell & Kanye are friends. He posted a pic on his Twitter page of Kanye hanging out somewhere this past summer. I believe Selita was in the background in the pic. Who knows, maybe Maxwell couldn't make the event. Possibility. Sure it is. I'm sure Maxwell & Selita are still an item and this was an outing two friends went on together. Funny how twisted a story gets from just a photo. How we act like we know these people. Solid as hell in our opinions. How gullable we are as a society. In the same breath we respect someone and are so down with them, we spit on them. The only truth we hold is the truth about ourselves. Of course this is entertainment for many. We know not these people. What they do with their time is their business, their right. Freedom.

Selita looks so chic...I liked jessica Szohr when she was black....

I agree with those who think these folks probably don't actually enjoy or even understand tennis and are at this event to be seen and to present themselves as friends of Roddick's. At first it was fashion shows, now tennis matches...some of these new money "artists" are just too keen to show they are mingling with the "upper crust" and have "white friends". It looks so desperate and transparent to me.

L/Cpl Joseph Masters: A Century PastPosted: November 8, 2014 in Soldiers, War Memorials, WWI
Masters is one of a few soldiers that is represented on both the Great Wyrley memorial gates and the Cheslyn Hay war memorial. Like many soldiers, Joseph Masters' Great War record doesn't survive and so we have to piece together his story from the few fragments that we have from other sources. Initially, I intended to write this article and publish it on the same day – the 7 November 2014 – as I only found that day (yesterday) that Masters was killed on this day, a century ago. Something made me hold fire – and I am pleased I did, as I managed to get to Cannock Library where I found an obituary in the newspaper. This showed that he was in fact killed on the 6 November and added a little more biographical detail… http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/wyrley-landywood/great-wyrleys-fallen-wwi/lcpl-joseph-masters-a-century-past/
Ralph, Ralph Who? Letters from the Western Front to Darlaston, 1915.Posted: November 4, 2014 in Mysteries, Soldiers, War Memorials, WWI
As an archivist, every now and then a collection comes along that peaks my curiosity perhaps a little more than others; this story is about one of those collections, or more accurately two of them. It started back in October 2013 when a letter arrived at the Walsall Local History Centre that was postmarked 'America'. Inside were two letters sent in April 1915 from a solder, 'Ralph', to the proprietors of the Herbert's Park Tavern in Factory St, Darlaston.'Ralph' was clearly unidentifiable from the letters, but they do give some clues about his identity and clearly show what he thought of the War: his vivid account of the machine-gunning of stretcher-bearers chilled me. Then in October 2014 a couple of unconnected WWI postcards appeared, or so I thought. The name 'Ralph' and the handwriting seemed familiar. I had already listed the first collection, but could this wierd coincidence add anything further to our knowledge… http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/walsall/ralph-ralph-who-letters-from-the-western-front-to-darlaston-1915/
Whitehall Infant School 1899-1923 (part 2): The Sarah Jane Parker StoryPosted: October 22, 2014 in education, Schools
This article follows on from that looking at the background and opening of the school in 1899. In this article I want to take a look the early years of the school, specifically the period between 1899 and 1923. This was the tenure of the first headmistress, Sarah Jane Woodward (nee Parker). The period covers the opening of the main school, the transfer from School Boards to the Local Education Authority in 1902, the building and opening of the new Infant Department in 1903 and of course, the harrowing time of the First World War. What will become clear is that Sarah faced a multitude of day-to-day problems regarding staffing, the children, the building, sickness and overcrowding. These problems and experiences will be seen through the eyes of Sarah herself, who detailed the daily life in the school log book. It will become evident in just how schools and education has changed. http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/walsall/whitehall-infant-school-1890s-1923/whitehall-infant-school-1899-1923-part-2-the-sarah-jane-parker-story/
Billy, Fred and the Importance of Being Ernest: William Meredith's WWI MedalsPosted: October 12, 2014 in Soldiers, WWI
This article is a little different for me as its inspiration was not taken from a name on a memorial, but a cache of medals from a surviving soldier of the First World War. Dave, a regular at the Harrison's club in Great Wyrley, mentioned that he had his grandfather's medals and asked if I would like to see them. I did and he duly obliged. He presented me with a set of four medals that belonged to a William Henry Meredith, but even a basic inspection showed immediately that there was something that wasn't quite right. Dave knew nothing of the medals and was at a loss when I pointed-out the inconsistencies, so, with his permission I set-off to unravel the Meredith story and the medal mystery… http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/walsall/billy-fred-and-the-importance-of-being-ernest-william-merediths-wwi-medals/
Whitehall Infant School (part 1): Founding, 1899Posted: October 3, 2014 in education, Schools
In this two-part article I want to take a look at the Whitehall Infant School, which is sandwiched between the West Bromwich Rd and Weston Street in south Walsall. I am not going to cover the whole history, just around the first 25 years. This first part will cover the period up to the opening of the school in August 1899; it will look at the historic background, the reason why the site was chosen, the design of the school and the opening ceremony. The second part looks at the period from 1899 to 1923, which is the tenure of the first headmistress, Sarah Jane Woodward (nee Parker). Set against the context of her life, this covers the school's experiences, including the harrowing time of the First World War, through her eyes – as she detailed them in the school log book. It will become evident in just how much the school, education and society have changed. http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/walsall/whitehall-infant-school-part-1-founding-1899/
Domesday Book: The Walsall and Bloxwich QuestionPosted: September 27, 2014 in Landscapes, Medieval, Place-names and demonyms, Pre-Medieval
Domesday has reached almost biblical status in the way that local historians use it to prove their village existed in the late 11th century. As most people tend to look at Domesday simply for their entry, they don't tend to question the document as a whole: the truth is that it is filled with errors, omissions and inconsistencies so the whole thing can be somewhat bewildering at best. Following on from the Wyrley article, this article will give my thoughts on the Bloxwich entry and the missing Walsall one. http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/walsall/domesday-book-the-walsall-and-bloxwich-question/
Domesday Book: The Wyrley QuestionPosted: September 17, 2014 in Landscapes, Medieval
With the possible exception of Magna Carta, few historical documents have embedded themselves in the national psyche in quite the way that Domesday Book has. Domesday has reached almost biblical status in the way that local historians use it to prove their village existed in the late 11th century. As most people tend to look at Domesday simply for their entry, they don't tend to question the document as a whole: the truth is that it is filled with errors, omissions and inconsistencies so the whole thing can be somewhat bewildering at best.

Long Lane to the Long, Long Trail: The Walkeden Boys of Newtown (Essington)Posted: September 11, 2014 in Industry, Soldiers, War Memorials, WWI
Newtown is in Essington. The heart of this 'newtown' sprang-up opposite the Cannock Lodge Colliery but a second area of settlement also began to appear on Long Lane. This too was outside of a colliery, in this case the Norton Cannock Colliery. Both the Cannock Lodge and the Norton Cannock closed in 1910 and you would have thought would have killed off the small settlement on Long Lane, but it didn't. Small as this community was, it still managed to send some of its sons to war and four of them didn't come back. Newtown would be no 'thankful village'. http://wyrleyblog.wordpress.com/other-places/long-lane-to-the-long-long-trail-the-walkeden-boys-of-newtown-essington/
