hey titleist, my name is mackenzie kerfoot i am 14 years of age and i live in washington state, last night(Wednesday)i was in a weekly tournament at lams golf links, it was a scramble format and my team started in the fifth hole, we finished the first two and we came up the the 8th hole 151 yards, i teed of and my swing has a natural draw and it went straight threw a tree. i thought it hit around in the tree and stopped so i was looking below the tree and near that area when my partner decided to look in the hole, he said in a calm voice its in the hole, and by the tone of his voice i automatically thought he was lying, he asked me what i was shooting, i said titleist he said titleist 1? i was in kind of disbelief so i walked up to the hole, and sure enough was my titleist nxt tour #1 i was ecstatic and couldnt stop smiling. and the crazy part is ive only been playing titleist for two days! so i want to thank you titleist for giving the shot of a lifetime at such a young age.

2007 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Just spent a bundle fixing an oil leak caused by a PLASTIC valve cover that cracked. This is apparently common for these models after 60K. Mine had 76K and was regularly serviced at the dealer. In my case, oil leaked onto the ignition coils, causing the engine to misfire. Unbelievable that the 'ultimate driving machine' uses plastic on a part that is subject to such heat.

My 3rd bmw 97"328 and a 99"m3 and previous 07"
328xi 6sp got it from bmw dealership with 67k one owner , changed the oil every 5k baby the car that's just how i m. Car was great until it hit 80k first the electric water pump $1300 and got me and my 2year old on the side of the freeway very dangerous on my opinion' called bmw they tell me its a common thing ok... a month later the low warning oil light comes on " head gasket cover leaking oil $1100 call bmw reply again its a common thing 2 weeks later the tesion pully $400" shocks $700 bmw again its a common thing. . Seriuos if its a common thing shouldn't it be recalls.. ps also this parts should not be regular maintenance parts .

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
I just bought recently 335i with 71K on it and as for 6 year old car the condition of it is excellent. I am very satisfied with its
interior and exterior design, the car has great performance. As for the Coupe the car is extremely reliable and Comfort. I don't know why people complain about its comfort and build quality because
it is a performance car and
what do you expect when you buy a
used Beamer?
want to look
inside like in a Maybach?? ALSO EVERYTHING DEPENDS on a previous owners when you buy a used performance car especially BMW. My car had 2 OWNERS and has not even a single scratch and everything is CLEAN under the hood. So everything depends on what life the car lived.

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
All the car mags totally fawn over this car as if it's the greatest thing since sliced bread - and it is a looker with great performance (when it's running properly)... but make no mistake - these cars are absolute garbage. BMW enthusiasts will of course overlook these car's flaws no matter what, but those of us normal folks who aren't blinded by brand loyalty will certainly notice the car's gross unreliability, build quality that rivals a 1980s Chevy Camaro, exorbitant maintenance costs and (in my case) piss-poor service, support and sheer arrogance by the BMW dealer. There's absolutely no excuse for any of this and BMW should be ashamed (but I seriously doubt it...)

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
Very unreliable vehicle, I have 62k miles on my car. I've had the fuel pump replaced and the fuel injectors twice. Also had the water pump die on me on the freeway, car goes into limp mode and was glad I wasn't killed. Do not buy one if its gonna be your daily driver and then whats the point of buying one anyway.

2007 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
I purchased mine as a CPO with 33K original miles on it.
IMHO all the dealer did to "CPO" the car was to detail it.
Within the first 24 months it had the following major problems:
1. Power door locks failed
2. Right rear wheel bearing went (was bad on delivery...CPO people were obviously deaf)
3. Electric water pump failed
4. Low oil level warning light came on less than 500 miles after purchase (further proof CPOing ignored that
5. Radio display not visible while wearing polarized lenses..oil leak, battery died, bluetooth not blackberry compatible, outside mirror motor failed....brakes stick on release....

2007 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Great car no serious trouble. Very fun to drive and very comfortable! Only thing is that the interior seems to scratch very easily. Other than that the car is great. I would buy another bmw

2007 BMW 3 Series 328xi 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
I have rationalized not getting a 3 series since test driving one before purchasing a TL a number of years ago.
Instantly after driving the TL and 3 back to back I knew the 3 was a better car but I feared long term reliability.
The TL didn't last long and was traded off and years went by before finding a clean 328xi auto with 88k on the odometer.
I recognize that it will be far more expensive to repair than used accords that I was comparing but once you drive one it all seems worth it.
These are solidly built cars not overly contaminated with gadgets or cup holders.
One really starts to enjoy driving, which I haven't done for many years.
The more you DIY the feasible owning seems.

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
Absolutely gorgeous car, BMW really outdid themselves on the styling. Power is outstanding, feels far faster then the 300 hp rating would suggest, but the off-the-line throttle response could be more linear and not so "right now". The seatbelt assisting device is a nice idea but most of the time the seatbelt slips off the device and I have to reach back for the belt anyway. The retracting cupholders are straight out of 1990 and are extremely flimsy. I-Drive isn't so bad once you get used to it. Adaptive cruise control went out and transmission developed a leak at 40K but thankfully both were covered under warranty. Had the car for 6 months and am still discovering new gadgets and features!

Well-mounted and very traditional, Of Mice and Men honorably serves John Steinbeck's classic story of two Depression-era drifters without bringing anything new to it.
Full review…Happily, director/star/co-producer Gary Sinise has approached it not with the awe of an English professor, but with the practical eye of a craftsman: Here are solid characters, a taut and emotional story, a beginning, a middle and a wrenching end.
Full review…Elegant adaptation of Steinbeck's classic novel.
Full review…It's hard ... to believe Malkovich's shamble and gape, a simian variant on Dustin Hoffman's Rain Man.
Full review…I would not have thought I could believe the line about the rabbits one more time, but this movie made me do it, as Lennie asks about the farm they'll own one day, and George says, yes, it will be just as they've imagined it.
Full review…Superb Steinbeck adaptation that gets at the meat of the tale.
Of Mice and Men is a mournful, distantly heard lament for the loss of American innocence.
Full review…The great pleasure of this movie is in what performers Sinise and John Malkovich, Ray Walton and others do with it; what director Sinise does with it; and, perhaps most important, what screenwriter Horton Foote does with it.
Full review…Fine, studied treatment by Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.

John Marshall, CEO, Shared Services Leadership Coalition
Everyone seems to agree: The use of shared services could save government agencies a lot of time and money. As the reasoning goes, why should multiple agencies have separate and expensive HR or financial systems all doing essentially the same functions? John Marshall is the founder and CEO of the Shared Services Leadership Coalition. This long-term federal senior executive joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to share some ideas for shared services.
Carol Bonosaro, President, Senior Executives Association
"If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there." That's how Carol Bonosaro views the current attempts to reform the Senior Executive Service. Bonosaro, the president of the Senior Executives Association, has written a commentary on FederalNewsRadio.com responding to the "Fixing the SES" series. On the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Emily Kopp asked Bonosaro to look back on the history of reforms to the SES a history nearly as old as the service itself.
Do leaders have the stomach for real SES reform?
If there is to be major reform within the Senior Executive Service, the government needs the appetite to carefully consider exactly what problems it is solving, what it wants the SES to be and how best to get there, says Carol Bonosaro in a new commentary.

Shelly Metzenbaum, President, Volcker Alliance
What type of leaders does the government need now and in the future? We ask that in our last installment of "Fixing the SES." On the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Federal News Radio's Emily Kopp spoke with Shelley Metzenbaum. Metzenbaum previously was at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), where she served as associate director for performance and personnel management. She is now president of the Volcker Alliance, which, together with the Senior Executives Association, is tackling this question.
How to fix the SES: Wipe the slate clean
Political leaders of all stripes have long called for reforming the Senior Executive Service. But what if instead of fixing the SES' current problems, the government wiped the slate clean and started from scratch? In part four of Federal News Radio's special report, Fixing the SES, current and former members of the service discuss what the key ingredients would be in a new SES recipe.

Posted in Issue 111 - April 2009 Member Countries
PAHO/WHO's Director, Dr. Mirta Roses appealed to all countries in the Americas to increase efforts and to ensure preventive measures to respond to the growing number of cases of dengue in the region, given that in 2009 past trends could be repeated whereby serious outbreaks have been reported each three to five years.
Dengue outbreaks in Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil as well as significant numbers of cases in other countries should place the entire Region on alert, said Dr. Roses. "Governments need to strengthen surveillance, the monitoring of sites which incite the breeding of mosquitoes and the clinical management of patients; the first priority is to avoid deaths," indicated Dr. Roses.
There is no vaccine or treatment for dengue, but appropriate medical attention can save the lives of patients who are suffering from the most serious form of the illness, haemorrhagic dengue.
PAHO/WHO has indicated that in order to reinforce the fight against dengue, an integrated and multidisciplinary approach is needed, since it requires action on the part of individuals (prevention of the disease and avoidance of self-medication); of locally-based groups and of civil society organizations; of local governments and communications media; of the central government, including the sectors responsible for the collection of waste and environmental sanitation, potable water services and, naturally, the health services with the guarantee of timely treatment.
The appeal from the director comes at the time when Bolivia is experiencing the worst epidemic in recent decades. As of April, there were over 55,000 cases, of which more than 10 were of haemorrhagic dengue, the most lethal form of the illness. The epidemic which is concentrated in the Department of Santa Cruz, has put the national health system to the test to respond to the emergency and has totally absorbed resources.
Dengue is an endemic disease in almost all countries in the region. In 2008 alone, 850,000 cases were recorded, including over 38,000 of haemorrhagic dengue, which caused at least 584 deaths. To date this year, almost 175,000 cases have been recorded, with over 3,000 cases of haemorrhagic dengue fever and 74 deaths.
The disease is endemic in over 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, South East Asia and the Western Pacific. Before 1970, only nine countries had had haemorrhagic dengue epidemics, a figure which by 1995 had been mulitiplied more than four times over. Today, cases of dengue have been reported to PAHO/WHO in 42 countries of the Americas.
As the illness reaches new areas, not only does the number of cases increase, but explosive outbreaks are occurring. For example, in 2007 in Venezuela more than 80,000 cases were reported, amongst which over 6,000 were of haemorrhagic dengue fever. In 2008, Brazil reported 585,769 cases of dengue and 478 deaths, mostly due to a dengue fever outbreak in Rio de Janeiro.
The spread of dengue has been attributed to the geographical distribution of the four dengue viruses and the mosquito vector, the most significant of which is the aedes aegypti, a predominanly urban species.
Climatic variability with an increase in temperature, an increase in the intensity and duration of the rainy season and the uncontrolled population growth in urban areas wthout basic potable water and environmental sanitation services favor the reproduction of mosquitoes. The most effective way to prevent the spread of dengue is to fight the mosquitoes which transmit the illness, destroying potential breeding sites, such as tires, vases and other recipients in which water can accumulate, both within the house and in surrounding areas.
Dengue is common in tropical climates, in particular in cities and peri-urban areas. More information on this issue can be found in the page www.paho.org; see "epidemiological alerts" and Dr. Mirta Roses' blog.

Submarine Slope Failure Primed and Triggered by Bottom Water Warming in Oceanic Hydrate-Bearing Deposits

Abstract: Many submarine slope failures in hydrate-bearing sedimentary deposits might be directly triggered, or at least primed, by gas hydrate dissociation. It has been reported that during the past 55 years (1955–2010) the 0–2000 m layer of oceans worldwide has been warmed by 0.09 °C because of global warming. This raises the following scientific concern: if warming of the bottom water of deep oceans continues, it would dissociate natural gas hydrates and could eventually trigger massive slope failures. The present study explored the submarine slope instability of oceanic gas hydrate-bearing deposits subjected to bottom water warming. One-dimensional coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (T-H-M) finite difference analyses were performed to capture the underlying physical processes initiated by bottom water warming, which includes thermal conduction through sediments, thermal dissociation of gas hydrates, excess pore pressure generation, pressure diffusion, and hydrate dissociation against depressurization. The temperature rise at the seafloor due to bottom water warming is found to create an excess pore pressure that is sufficiently large to reduce the stability of a slope in some cases. Parametric study results suggest that a slope becomes more susceptible to failure with increases in thermal diffusivity and hydrate saturation and decreases in pressure diffusivity, gas saturation, and water depth. Bottom water warming can be further explored to gain a better understanding of the past methane hydrate destabilization events on Earth, assuming that more reliable geological data is available.

Providing a futuristic showcase platform for the company's upcoming technical and styling directions, Aprilia's FV2 concept bike incorporates a fly-by-wire injection system, traction control, ABS, electronically adjustable suspension and carbon fiber construction with a 1200cc, 90-degree v-twin engine that we are likely to see in the RSV and Tuono in the next couple of years.
The dash integrates a nav system that also supports downloading of performance telemetry data or upload of new engine mappings from the Web.
The 1200cc, 90-degree v-twin claims 134.5 metric horses and over 10.5 kgm of torque, which is in the ballpark for sporty streetbikes and nakeds these days.
At the front end the most notable feature is the Hossack-style forks that look similar to the Duolever system BMW has been putting on its K1200R.

Growing green: Fall lawn care
Summer is quickly coming to a close. The days are getting shorter, the nights cooler, and the first maple leaves are beginning to turn red.
Soon the red-winged blackbirds will set course for their southern destinations, and the snow will begin to fly. Ahh, the joys of living in Minnesota!
Labor Day is a milepost in the lawn care calendar. It is time to get your lawn ready for the coming winter months.

for the picture of Laura E Smith Harris. I belong to the Harris family- through his Grandparents Wilmont Edgerton Harris and Catherine "Caty" Morris, and did the original research on that generation. A Harris descendant in another country-Vance Harris, has worked with me on Benjamin's family- which is her husband's.
I would like to use the picture in my research.

"This child is the child of Flora E Marden of New Hampshire and George H. Burnham of New Hampshire, not George E. Burnham's son."
I doubt the above statement, because he is buried next to George E Burnham in the Grove St. Cem. in Putnam, CT. Do you have some form of proof? The stone is worn enough that it could have been misinterpreted.

RE: Mable R. Clark?
Hi Crystal this memorial is in Clark dry fork cemetery. We take care of this cemetery and will be mowing soon. I will get the information you are asking for. I can not remember off top of my head but I think it is off by itself. I 've learned there are many unmarked graves in this cemetery. I will make sure through.

I thought I've been pretty clear with that post. You can put Jesus and Moses there, it does not change anything.<quoted text>
He who obeyed Moses at that time Obeyed God.
He who obeyed Jesus at that time obeyed God.
We need a human guide to help us understand and follow the set of instructions.
They are just tools.
We do not worship them.
As Muhammed pbuh, was sent as the final prophet for all mankind we believe we must listen to what he said!!
Muhammad came out with Allah. Muhammad told Allah said this and that... and one of the things he said Allah said was He who obey to Muhammad obey to Allah.
Why should anyone believe to such a claim?
Who tell us that all what Muhammad ordered to do even if semmed evil was the will of Allah?
That's problem with you muslims. Reading the stories about him I can tell he was a terrorist, killer, thief, pedophile ect How such a person can be considered the greatest human ever by someone is creepy.<quoted text> If you can listen to many people during your lifetime, why not listen to the greatest of human beings ever?
The BJ and Buddha were much greater than him. I think also the most of the people here in this forum are better than your prophet.

Called the owner of the shop and he said that this will not be available for another 2 weeks. He claims he paid 14k for it and the old lady that pawned it (wish I knew where this old lady was before she did this). Had the guy take my number and added me on the list. I also asked him what he would sell for in case the old bag did not come back for it..At first he said he would put this in front of his shop as advertisement. I said RU Crazy? I told him to do the car justice and sell it to someone that would care for it namely me. He then threw out a price of> (CENSORED) Let's just say my application for the loan with Capital One is well on it's way. 35/36 Ford 3/5 windows are in the list of one of my dream desired cars ( I'm a fordnut too you know). Note the 55Vic behind this one for sale as well. don know how much though. Wanted to share, wish me luck on this.<fingers crossed>
cool pawn shop stake it out until the NICE elderly lady that so desperately needed money she had to pawn that beauty comes back to get it..........
Wish it was a different sitch, I wish I could tell you it was coming home today. I know it is still a 50/50 shot to get this but I just simply wanted to share. It is not everyday I run into something cool like this. Almost like a barn find. Sorry if I offended.
call one of your cop buddies and have them run the plate (if they will) and then drop by the old lady's house...why let Mr Pawn get a bidder's list going? just a thought... dj
another thought, there are online VIN searches that with the drop of 10 bucks you can get the whole history of the car or at least as far back as it was registered. Believe me, I understand your excitement and goood luck. I was toodling through Santa Ana on the way home from church and pulled the move my wife hates. U-TURN!!! There, tucked in the yard of a gardening service was a chopped, tattered carson topped Studebaker pick-up, custom grille, buick headlights. Next to it was a started but not completed chopped 46-48 chevy sedan...if only time and money would allow, I would actually call to find out what the story was... again, good luck!
Wow...I understand your excitement. I'd be in that pawn shop daily until the owner sold it to me just go get rid of my lurking a$$. Good luck! Bryan
That '35 has extra hood side trim on it. An old custom trick! Who knows what else you might find done to it....
You HAVE to find the old lady and get her story. perhaps she doesn't want to sell, just needed some cash until her house sells....etc. Perhaps she does need the cash. Give her 15k, have her get the car out of Pawn, then sign it over to you... Oh, to dream dreams.
Every time a car salesman (pawn or not) brings-up a little old lady, I run from the deal. Tell him to show you the title, that you don't believe the story. 14k would be chump-change to any little old lady who owned this.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement and advice. Got an e-mail from Capitol One and they denied my loan. fuckers!!! .. I guess 3cars, a mortgage and one income household is too high risk for them. income to debt yada, yada, yada. So tomorrow, I will apply for a second on my home. ( Cant beieve I'm doing this, I'm freakin addicted to old tin) These guys send me mail and call me all the time so I'll see if they will make good on it. but skeptical from what I found out from CapOne. I cant think of anything else but this. The first denial just discouraged me that its just not the time for another hotrod. I know there is a good chance that the ol lady will come back as well to get this and I'm setting myself up for discouragement still 2 weeks out. but I'm pretty persistant when I want something so I will definately apply for a second, my wife's pool will have to wait. I will get the vin# or plates tomorrow and take your guys' advice and do a bit of investigating. Really tough call for me. I would have to sell the chevy to keep and get this started. Do I really want to do that knowing the hours I have put in on the chevy? I would have to choose to start over on this car or turn it around to finish my current ride, which I will regret doing in the long run because i would never come across another35/36, especially this condition. fuck, I'm overthinking this ARGHHHHHHHH. I just do not see myself keeping both rides as much as I want too. So, Anyone interested in this just PM me and though it's a tough thing to do, I would be happy to share the info to my fellow Hamb brothers. I would rather have a HAMber get this than anyone else so if this is one of your dreams and you got cash handy just let me know, I'll point you to the right direction. Maybe one of us will be lucky to take this ride home. Badbob, I'm trying brother but from what capitiol one wrote, It's pretty grim. one more chance for me, you guys might have better luck. You guys dont have to tell me I'm a sick man. I already know that. I need to relax, Peace~ Chevnut
Thats Joe Macs 35. I saw it in a Hop Up. He lives in Corona and is known as a early trans specialest. I wondered if he died? Anyone know the story? He used to own Ford Obselete in Long Beach, Ca. in the 60"s - 80"s.
Got a e-mail from a Hamber, claims he is a close personal freind of the previous owner. From what he described of the car, Merc Flatty, red dash, etc..he was right on as far as description. He then began to explain the nightmare the owner had to go thru, lets just say. A very sad way to lose a ride in my opinion. Long story..short, An ex-girlfreind ended up with it and suddenly the importance of that car was valued in money and not for it's true identity. I was told that a neighbor will try to pick up the note in a week but even that is not for sure. So, In my opinion, This car deserves an owner that is deserving of this car. To the very least, someone who won't lose it to a girlfreind. I have decided not to persue this car, the rate on my application came up to high and just would not be practical in the long run for me. The deciding factor to all of this is that I have a deep attachment with my Chevy and cannot replace it. Something about the way this guy lost his car brought me closer to mine. Wish I could own both, but don't we all. Peace ~ Chevnut
Still there when I drove by after work yesterday. I think D-Day is tomorrow. I myself am curious who gets it. we'll see.
Good Luck! I too love the 35/36 Ford, but only the roadster. In fact I really dig the 35 grill shell more so than the 36. Maybe because it is what everyone uses, even converting the 35. But, I can't deny that the whole line of the 35/36 Ford models are top notch. Ken
end result? I'm still curious, I came THIS close to raiding my savings but just couldn't do it...............
i have a little bit of coin to play with if this car is still for sale or if it can be bought. i just had to sell my 36 5 window and i can scratch up a little bit more maybe
Pawn shop owner is holding on to it. He said he would trade for a nice Motor home, boat or some gold chainer muscle car. The original radio for this thing works too. damn shame the guy has been online and want $32k for it...too much for my wallet.
He's not itching to sell it, when i went by just to look he told me "The lady wants 40 g's" and wouldnt let me back to take a look at it or the 55.
Got a pm from a Hamber that this is now part of his collection. drove 7 hrs to get it.. His plans are to leave it the way it is just tighten up some loose ends here and there but will mostly keep it as is. Glad it went to a hamber. It's a good feeling to know that a car that caliber will get the right treatment. Peace~Chevnut
wow ! i just found this post. i was on those cars a day after they both arrived at the sixth street pawn shop. did some investigating on my own then and found out who's name the cars were titled to,license plate number, etc, and couldn't get anywhere. names were not listed and the address that was on the title's were at a shopping center on mckinley ! i think the pawn shop guy paid 14 for both cars! every time i tried dealing with the owner i received different prices so i finally got pissed off and said "screw it" . both of those cars are NICE! glad the 35 is going to a good home.

If there's one thing that "New York Times" bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Dave Barry is an expert on, it's raising a daughter.
...which means he's not an expert on much considering the breadth of his knowledge on that subject fills only a single chapter of a book. However, what Dave Barry is good at is giving unsolicited advice on topics he's definitively not an expert on. In fact, he now has an entire book filled with guidance on things he knows nothing about, including: surviving in the wild, wooing women, cremation, maintaining a scintillating conversation, Justin Bieber, the U.S. Postal Service, enduring the TSA, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, most obviously, being a professional author.
With trademark wit and unmatched insight into the insanity of everyday life, Dave Barry presents a series of hilarious, never-before-published essays on the trials and tribulations of living and laughing in the modern age.
About the Author
Dave Barry has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. His columns for the Miami Herald were syndicated worldwide, and he is the author of a number of bestselling books, including the recently published Peter and the Starcatchers with Ridley Pearson.

Hey Rummy--there were 12 embassy attacks under Bush II
Yesterday, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld tweeted that Mitt Romney was right to say the tragic attacks on U.S. embassies on Tuesday were the result of perceived American weakness:
The attacks on our embassies & diplomats are a result of perceived American weakness. Mitt Romney is right to point that out. Donald Rumsfeld (@RumsfeldOffice) September 12, 2012 Actually, there were twelve terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities abroad during George W. Bushs tenure the most of any president in history and eight of those occurred while Donald Rumsfeld was in office. The embassy breaches on Tuesday marked the second attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities during President Obamas tenure http://www.thedailydolt.com/2012/09/13/donald-rumsfeld-asserts-embassy-attacks-due-to-perceived-american-weakness-we-then-google-the-number-of-embassy-attacks-under-his-watch/

6. Say What????
I think these Neo Cons, right wing nuts go off the handle whenever they fell itchy.
I was watching McCain choke on his words, saying Obama is weak and has to quit apologize for the mixed messages. Well, I think Mitt is sending more mixed messages and is cowardly using this to reach his base. This is applauding and makes Obama the man in the room. I feel safer with Obama and is staff and happy that McCain did not win in 2009 and won't feel safe if Romney win. I think Obama will take a strong hold of this situation and will guide us through this tough time. Again, we need to make sure Obama is re-elected and send Mitt and his goofy groups of nuts back in the box and throw the key away. Oh, and does anyone have any duct tape to shut Palin up? I am getting tired of her spewing words out that she can not spell. |

When questioned about the fighter jet response, he said our RADAR was looking outward. This was the leader of the greatest military on earth? I don't know about American weakness, but that man must be the dumbest idiot on earth. THAT was projecting strength? When we could have instead save the lives of thousands of Americans. Then, confused and basing his 'evidence' on ridiculous forgeries, he attacks the wrong nation oops. Because he just knew those weapons were 'north, south, east, west, somewhat' |

A dance performance using skipping ropes in Greenwich Park on Saturday (July 12) saw 200 people join in and another 500 watch.
Choreographer Jorge Crecis devised Through and Out: Skipping Extravaganza, which crossed dance and rope skipping, for two performances commissioned by Greenwich Dance for Big Dance 2014, part of this year's Royal Greenwich Festivals.
Jorge Crecis said: "The most amazing and wonderful thing about Through & Out Skipping Extravaganza was the ending... it was incredible to see more than 500 people, including the families and friends of the participants and other park visitors releasing their inner child out and skipping their hearts out in Greenwich Park."
The team from Greenwich Dance worked with nearly 200 people, aged seven to 70, from south east London schools and community groups to put the show together.
Audiences listened to a soundtrack on MP3 players and had the chance to join in at the end.
Greenwich Dance's artistic director Kat Bridge said: "This was one of our most ambitious participatory projects yet, teaching hundreds of people of all ages across South East London dance and rope-skipping moves.
"They have been on an incredible journey with the support of Jorge Crecis and our fantastic team of dance artists.
"I hope all the participants, together with the hundreds of people who saw them perform on Saturday have been inspired to be creative and active."

A rectal adapted set forth in claim 12 wherein said member is made of a thermally insulating plastic material.
Description This invention relates to adapters for use with disposable thermometers. More particularly, it relates to adapters attached to disposable thermometers having improved thermal conductivity to the thermometer especially useful in rectal applications. Disposable thermometers have been provided for use in human oral temperature taking and some of which have been shown to be just as accurate as mercury and glass thermometers. Examples of one type of disposable thermometer useful herein are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,677,088 and Des. 233,472, assigned to Bio-Medical Sciences, Inc., and are hereby incorporated by reference. These disposable thermometers utilize a plurality of pockets embossed in an aluminum carrier. Each pocket contains a chemical which will progressively melt at a certain predetermined temperature usually 0.2� C apart. A clear material is normally laminated over the aluminum carrier. One such disposable thermometer is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As stated previously, these disposable thermometers were made generally for oral temperature taking. The aluminum carrier is made of a very thin material. The thermometer was not very rigid and because of this thinness and lack of rigidity, it was not suited for rectal temperature taking. In order to overcome these problems, rectal adapters have been designed. An example of a prior art rectal adapter is shown in FIG. 3. Rectal adapter 3 includes grooved out portion 4 for receiving disposable thermometer 1. Handle 7 of the disposable thermometer was fitted into handle receiving portion 8 of the rectal adapter. The rectal adapter was made of polypropylene material and was of sufficient thickness and rigidity to provide comfort during rectal use. It has been found, however, by experimentation that disposable thermometers used with the prior art rectal adapter are not as accurate as glass and mercury thermometers. Because of the insulation to isolation effects of prior art rectal adapters, disposable thermometers, utilizing the adapter as shown in FIG. 3, quite often registered lower temperatures than mercury and glass thermometers, and furthermore, sometimes there was no registration at all. Also sometimes some of the indicator dots were skipped in their firing sequence because of their insulation and isolation. It is one object of this invention to provide an improved adapter for use with a disposable thermometer. It is another object to provide an adapter for use with a disposable thermometer having improved thermal transfer characteristics. It is another object to provide an adapter for a disposable thermometer having improved thermal transfer characteristics and ease of reading. It is another object to provide an adapter for use with a thin disposable thermometer having sufficient rigidity and thickness for comfort as well as providing means for improved accuracy of the thermometer. It is another object of this invention to provide a rectal adapter for use with the disposable thermometer having a means for preventing low readings and dot misfires so as to make the thermometer a useful device in rectal application. In accordance with one form of this invention there is provided an adapter for use with and attachment to a disposable thermometer. The adapter includes an elongated substantially rigid member. The member has a forward section and a rearward section. The member further has a means for retaining a disposable thermometer thereto. The forward section has an opening therethrough for providing improved thermal conductivity to the thermometer. FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a disposable thermometer which may be used with the adapter of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the disposable thermometer shown in FIG. 1 taken along lines 2--2. FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a prior art rectal adapter. FIG. 4 is a top plan view of an adapter showing some of the features of this invention. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the adapter shown in FIG. 4 taken along lines 5--5. FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the adapter shown in FIG. 4 taken along lines 6--6. FIG. 7 is a partial top plan view of the adapter shown in FIG. 4 with a disposable thermometer attached thereto. FIG. 8 is a partial bottom plan view of the adapter/thermometer combination of FIG. 7. Referring now to FIG. 4, there is provided rectal adapter 10 for use with disposable thermometer 1 shown in FIG. 1. Rectal adapter 10 is an elongated monolithic member having sufficient rigidity for holding disposable thermometer 1 in place during human rectal insertion. In this embodiment, the adapter is made of polypropylene, however, other suitable materials, such as other plastics, may be used. As stated previously, disposable thermometer 1 is a thin (approximately 1mm thickness) elongated aluminum sheet. Rectal adapter 10 further provides sufficient 1 (approximately 1 cm in this embodiment) to alleviate the problem of cutting during rectal insertion of thermometer 1. Referring again to FIG. 4, rectal adapter 10 includes forward section 11 and rearward section 12. Forward section 11 includes substantially solid tip 13 which is the leading edge of the rectal adapter during insertion into the rectum. Tip 13 is a partially flattened conical shape for comfort during insertion. The inside bottom portion 14 of the rectal adapter receives the bottom portion 22 of thermometer 1. The thermometer 1 is adapted to be snap-fitted into the adapter by means of lip 15 which extends about a portion of the periphery of the adapter. As can be seen, lip 15 extends outwardly from the bottom surface 14 of the adapter and inwardly towards its longitudinal axis. The rearward portion 12 of the adapter further includes a handle receiving portion 16 for receiving handle 7 of the thermometer. Other embodiments of disposable thermometers do not utilize a handle and thus handle receiving portion 16 would act as a handle itself or could be eliminated. Again referring to FIG. 4, the forward section 11 of the adapter further includes an open window portion 17 which is adapted to align with thermally-responsive temperature indicating portion 9 of thermometer 1. This window 17 is in effect a hole punched through the adapter for providing improved thermal contact for temperature indicating portion of the thermometer and its immediate environment. This may be better seen in reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 shows thermometer 1 snap-fitted into rectal adapter 10 with the top side of the indicating portion 9 facing outward and covering the open window 17 shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 8 shows the bottom side 18 of rectal adapter 10 with the bottom side 21, in this embodiment, of the temperature indicating portion of thermometer 1 exposing pockets 22 directly to its surrounding environment through window 17. The use of thermometer 1 in combination with prior art rectal adapter 3 shown in FIG. 3 did not permit the bottom side of the thermometer thermally-responsive material to be exposed to the environment. That is, the pockets 19 rested against the polypropylene material on the inside bottom layer 4 of the prior art rectal adapter. Since the rectal adapter 3 was normally made of a plastic, such as polypropylene, and since these plastic materials are thermal insulators, it was found that the thermometer, when used with the prior art rectal adapter, registered lower than a mercury and glass thermometer. Furthermore, clinical studies have shown that the use of the disposable thermometer with the prior art rectal adapter caused no fires, that is, some of the dots between the highest temperature dot fired and some lower temperature dots did not even register, thus providing a confused reading to the observer. Furthermore, if the indicating portion of the thermometer was inserted face down into the prior art adapter, the thermometer could be read only by removing it from the adapter. Exposing both sides 20 and 21 of the thermally-responsive portion of the disposable thermometer to its immediate environment by providing an open window in the rectal adapter thermally-responsive portion of the thermometer has greatly improved the accuracy and response time of the thermometer. It has been shown by experiment that rectal temperatures taken using the improved rectal adapter/disposable thermometer combination provides the same temperature readings as a 3-minute glass and mercury thermometer reading. The disposable thermometer, however, provided the reading within 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Furthermore, experiments showed no tendency for the disposable thermometer to register "no fires", or skips, as did the thermometer used with a prior art rectal adapter. Because of the window, the thermometer may be easily read without removing it from the rectal adapter even if the thermometer has its indicating portion face down in the adapter. Thus, the window in the improved rectal adapter provides a dual function of improved thermal transfer characteristics and ease of reading for the thermometer. As stated previously, one of the problems with the prior art adapter is incorrect low thermometer readings due to the fact that the adapter may be made of plastics insulators with the thermal conductivities listed below: polypropylene 2.8 � 10-4 cal-cm/sec/cm2 /�C polyethylene 8-12 � 10.sup. -4 cal-cm/sec/cm2 /�C polyvinylchloride 3-4 � 10-4 cal-cm/sec/cm2 /�C polycarbonate 4.6 � 10-4 cal-cm/sec/cm2 /�C polystyrene 1-3 � 10-4 cal-cm/sec/cm2 /�C Thus an operable adapter utilizing applicant's invention may be made from the same or similar materials enabling correct thermometer readings. From the foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, it would be apparent that many modifications may be made therein. For example, the thermometer 1 may be placed into the adapter with either the pockets 22 facing up or down. It is therefore intended that such modifications shall be covered by the appended claims.
