Dr. Cummins said that only 30 men out of 423 volunteers and draftees sent to camps had been returned because of physical de-fects not discovered by the local physicians. He revealed further that some of these were due to incidents that occurred after the examinations. At the outset Dr. Cummins told of the set-up of the Modi cal Board. He said that when he was called on by the Selec-tive Service Board to orgAnlze the medical group he com oiled a list of men, whom he invited to assist him and most of them accepted immediately.

All except the Dells and a trip to Sebasco Resort in Maine were great! Soon we'll be heading west. We're going to do some touristy stops like the Corn Palace, Wall Drug and Mount Rushmore on our way to visit my sister and b.i.l. in Montana, then we'll spend a few days in Yellowstone. Really excited! It is a 3 week trip though, longer than our usual trips. A lot of togetherness!
When you get to Wall Drug make sure you take pictures sitting on the giant Jackalope. Yellowstone is on my "got to get back to" list.

Carers have a very important part to play in looking after people who are ill, frail or have a disability thus enabling them to live at home. People from all walks of life and backgrounds are carers - over 3 in 5 people in the UK will become carers at some time in their lives. Caring can be a rewarding experience, yet many face isolation, poverty, discrimination and ill-health.
Are you a Carer?
If you provide regular and unpaid support for a relative, friend or neighbour of any age who is ill, frail, has a disability or mental health need then you are a carer. The care you provide can involve physical and/or emotional support.
Carers can be found across all age groups and can be an adult, an older person or a child. Caring for someone can be a very rewarding experience, but it can also be demanding, stressful and tiring and your needs may be different from those of the person you care for as will the support you need.
Finding out about you and the help you need
To decide what support we can offer you, we need to find out about you and the impact that being a carer has on your life. This will ensure we offer you the right kind of support to enable you to carry on caring and to do this, a care manager will need to talk to you, either on your own or with the person you care for. We call this meeting an assessment. There are two types of assessment that you could be involved in.
A community care assessment considers the needs of the person you care for. You can contribute to this as part of their assessment and any services provided may benefit you.
A carers assessment will be offered to you if you are providing a substantial amount of support to someone on a regular basis and you are 16 or over. The assessment is not to assess your ability as a carer but to ensure you are offered the support you need as an individual.
It's your choice whether or not you choose to have an assessment but, together, we can plan the support you may need to allow you to continue caring.
If you would like to talk to someone about your role as a carer, please contact:
Telephone Number: 01685 724507 (Adult Carers)Telephone Number: 01685 353907 (Carers Development Officer)
Your Rights as a Carer
If you work, are learning new skills, enjoy leisure activities or would like to do any of those things, then this must be taken into account when you are assessed.** Please be aware that there may be a charge for the services you receive**
What help is available?
In many cases, the support we provide to the person you care for will also meet your needs and that will be sufficient. For some, additional help will be needed. Some of the services which are available and could help make caring a little easier and help you to continue caring include the following:
What information is available?
Training is also provided for carers on relevant topics such as First Aid or Manual Handling and can be accessed via the Carers Development Officer as above.
Further information including top tips for Carers can also be found on the Directgov website.

Boatmen on the Dal lake with their shikaras gliding by, Mjughal gardens that make one feel like they have stepped out of royal times, the cuisine with its succulent meat dishes and salty tea- Srinagar will give you all of this and more. Beautiful place with a beautiful people, Srinagar continues to provide hope that paradise will once more be regained.
It is true that Srinagar, indeed like the rest of the Valley continues to be in the throes of trouble but when there is the first hint that things have settled, don't forget to pack your bags and head here for a piece of heaven.
Population: About 1,238,530
Climate:Pleasant summers here with temperatures ranging from 12ºC to 24ºC and snowbound winters bring temperatures plunging to 7ºC in the day to -5ºC at night. Frequent showers are common in the months of July through September.
Main Language(s): Urdu, Hindi and English
Time Zone: GMT + 05:30
Best Time To Visit: Anytime when it is not snowing, and even then, it is a great place for people who live without ever experiencing snowfall. April to October would be the ideal time.
Dal Lake
Say Dal lake and you are saying Srinagar. A shimmering expanse of beauty, the lake at the foot of the Zabarwan mountains, words do not even begin to do this marvel justice. Four artificial causeways divide the lake into the smaller Gagribal, the Lokut Dal, the Bod Dal and the Nagin Lake. Apart from the breath taking views, the lake also supports a life all its own. There are floating homes and shops, craft emporia and even gardens, a life so complete that one almost does not need the ground around it. Laze around on a shikara, or live in one of the houseboats and get your appetite taken care of at the Char Chinar, the restaurant in the middle of the lake.
Nagin Lake
The quietest, cleanest and loveliest part of the Dal, with the magnificent Hazratbal shrine lying just across its serene waters. Spend time swimming or water-skiing or just taking in the calm and heart-catching beauty of your environs.
Hazratbal Shrine
On the North-western shore of the Dal Lake, just opposite the Nishat Bagh, the stark white of the shrine blends with the snow-capped peaks behind it. Beautiful in its purity and considered one of the holiest of Muslim shrines in the country, a strand of Prophet Mohammed's sacred hair lies preserved here, displayed on special occasions.
Jama Masjid
Standing the test of time or more precisely the onslaught of many an attack and attempts at rebuilding is the Jama Masjid, arguably the oldest and the largest mosque in the state. This majestic Indo-Saracenic structure can accommodate nearly 30,000 devotees in its courtyard.
Shankaracharya Temple
Reaching into the heavens on a hilltop once known as the Takht-e-Sulaiman or the Seat of Solomon, is this ancient Shiva temple. The walk is pleasant and the views from up there of the city below will make you want to pitch tent and spend at least the next couple of years up there. Historic in value, worshipped and stunning, it feels like a walk up to heaven indeed.
Mughal Gardens
Poets and artists, songwriters and film makers alike have tried to capture the beauty of the Mughla Gardens - where typically quadrangular garden plots criss-crossed by pathways intersect at right angles. Mughal emperors no matter what their disposition seemed to have wanted a hand in creating this garden of loveliness. Spread around the city, take a walk into Nishat Bagh with the Dal Lake spread out in front and the Zabarwan Mountains in the background. It has not earned the name 'The Garden of Bliss' without reason. Considered the most bewitching of all the Mughal Gardens it was laid out in 1633 by Asaf Khan, brother of Empress Noor Jahan.
Then there is the Shalimar Bagh, the garden that was built by Emperor Jehangir for his queen. The quiet and privacy of the place almost brings back visions of the queen and her royal entourage walking the gardens. Shallow terraces, polished stones, a black marble pavilion or an evening sound and light show that brings to life, the glory of Jehangir's court as it once must have been.

If you read some cattle publications you may be under the impression that R-Calf USA is deader than a can of corned beef. The obituaries for the 7-year-old cattlemen's organization, largely responsible for keeping the Canadian border closed long enough for ranchers to enjoy their best years ever, have been quite flowery:
On his way out the door to take a job with the Cowboy Hall of Fame, former NCBA CEO, Chuck Schroeder, had this to say to the NCBA leadership gathered in Denver:
"While some ill-intentioned, ill-informed, vile spirited political junk merchants attacked the beef checkoff, while they attacked the NCBA and, of even greater concern to me, they attacked the honorable men and women who lead this organization, while they stoop to any level of chicanery and untruth to smear our reputation and mislead others about who we are and what we do, while people with their own barrels of ink spew that poison, the most popular President of the United States in modern history, the First Lady, the Secretary of Agriculture, several leading elected officials from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, and by the way, the governor of our own state, showed up at your house yesterday to say that "We are with you, we are with you."
Amid revelations Chinese beef has been processed in poor hygienic conditions, South Korean lawmakers are seeking legislation to strengthen the consumers´ right to know by expanding the place-of-origin requirement on imported beef.
Just before the House Agriculture Committee finished marking up the 2007 farm bill on July 19, Agriculture Chairman Peterson called his committee into executive session to say that the meat industry had agreed to resolve one of the longest-running disputes in American agriculture: implementation of the 2002 law requiring country-of-origin labeling for red meat (COOL) at the final point of retail sale.
In a recent letter to Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., from the American Meat Institute (AMI), AMI makes several decisively false claims about country-of-origin labeling, a law established in the 2002 Farm Bill that has yet to be implemented because of political pressure by multinational packers, processors and retailers. R-CALF USA, in turn, sent a letter to DeLauro and Kohl to counter AMI's false claims.

I am new to driving A/T cars and I am trying to understand the use of Neutral(N) gear. Should I shift my gear from D to N when my car comes to a complete halt on a red light or somewhere else? As per my understanding, putting brakes on while waiting on a red light while your gear is in D can damage the braking system?
For general driving, you can leave the car in drive. It doesn't damage the transmission leaving it in drive while stationary at the lights - although you don't want to be doing silly things like revving the engine while holding the brakes on.
In an automatic car, you don't really use neutral. It is a step on the way to selecting Park, which means that the transmission is disengaged.
The main purpose of neutral on an automatic is for towing or pushing the car. Obviously you can't push it with the transmission in park, and if you tow it with the transmission in gear or in park and the drive wheels are in contact with the ground, you'll ruin your transmission or your tires or both. I'm sure there are some other uses too, but they're sufficiently rare that they probably don't need to be mentioned.
In general, no, you're fine.
I think you've conflated several issues that can lead to issues (if not actual problems):
Like the others have said, neutral is almost never used. It does provide a modicum of comfort, though, to know that reverse and drive aren't immediately adjacent in your gear selection....
Neutral is there for special cases, such as if/when the car needs to be pulled up onto a flatbed for towing. Other than cases like that, you can just pretend that the "N" notch doesn't even exist. :-)
The brakes on your car are designed to stop and hold your car whether it is automatic transmission or manual, under what is considered normal driving circumstances. In response to the comment about neutral for towing your car, putting an automatic transmission in neutral and towing for long distance will tear up the tranny. 20 miles or less you should be okay. If all four wheels are on the ground, the drive shaft turning is also turning gears in the transmission. The gears are meant to have the pump in the transmission moving the fluid around to keep everything lubricated and cool. Without the pump working, the fluid will get to hot and cause damage to the integral parts.
It's not a problem to leave the car in drive; I'd call it more a matter of personal preference.
While the car is idling in D and stopped, the automatic transmission is sort of in a 'ready-and-waiting' mode, with the torque converter partially engaged. This puts a little bit of drag on the engine, and requires the engine management system to deliver a little more fuel and air to keep the idle speed constant. This excess energy is discarded by the transmission as waste heat.
Certain vehicles exhibit more of this than others, but you may actually experience better fuel economy if you let the car idle in neutral instead of drive when stopped for longish periods of time.
I've definitely driven in thick traffic where I was stopped for minutes at a time, and found it far more comfortable to bump the transmission into neutral when the rate of progress was particularly bleak.
depends on your car newer cars have electronic controlled transmission which will unlock from D (first gear actuator) if your stopped and not pressing the gas pedal.how ever on most of the cars new and old its a good practice to keep it in N if you stopped.
leaving the car on D and pressing the break will just load the transmission and heat the fluids in it because the first gear actuator will be engaged thus loading on your torque converter bump which causes the fluid to heat up. keeping it on N will will disengages any load on the transmission and will elongate its life.
as i said its good practice will increase your transmission life time
I don't think putting breaks for long time harms enough the breaking system. When we are talking about car with automatic transmission then its breaking system is also designed by keeping in mind about its rough use. Shifting Gear from D to N will make your car neutral that disconnect the engine from wheels using transmission. It is usually done when you need to push your car or have it towed. Therefore be relax, putting break will not damage your breaking system.
the only way to reverse while the car moves is if you change from d to n then r but do not accelerate or the car will use its momentum and transfer that physical energy directly to the engine which will cause the transmission parts to suffer greatly (specially the clutch, with standard Automatic transmissions, not CVT.)

At the top-end of the string trimmer line there exists a tool worthy of putting in the Terminator's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) hands. The Brush Cutter is designed for heavy-duty brush clearing with an extra-large motor and an aggressive cutting blade. Some models appear to have something kin to a motorcycle engine for power, a 2" to 3" shaft, an almost frightening 10" to 12" cutting blade and a harness to strap it on. If you want to "terminate" acres of scrub brush and up-to 4" diameter trees, this may be your tool. Before buying, make sure the balance and fit is comfortable to you.

Writers at Home
November 21, 2013
The Writers at Home program is a unique partnership between the College of Saint Benedict Literary Arts Institute and Office for Education Abroad (OEA) that brings CSB/SJU study abroad students together with writers from their host country. Often, these writers' works have been part of the required study abroad seminar and the program enables students to further engage in their host country's culture and literary tradition. The writers' visits include two of three parts: an address and reading open to the public, a class visit on that country's literature with just CSB/SJU students, or an excursion to an area with literary significance. Many of these writers' visits have been supported by U.S. Dept. of Education Title VI Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Languages grants.
Started in the 2010-2011 academic year, the program has expanded to the majority of the OEA's 20 semester long study abroad programs. For photos and student testimonials of the writers' visits, please visit the writers' individual pages.

With street performance and handling being the most popular today, stock muscle car suspensions leave a lot to be desired when it comes to corner carving performance. If you have a leaf spring equipped car, spring bond and axle hop are your constant enemies, either on the street, the autocross, and the dragstrip. Even with coilovers and traction/slapper bars, a leaf spring suspension just can't handle a lot of today's modern driving.
Seeing a need for a solution, the suspension masters at BMR Fabrication came up with a bolt in Watts-Link/Torque Arm suspension kit for first generation Camaros. The benefits of this system are excellent lateral stability, while also offering superior vertical stability in handling and driving. Think of it like getting the best of a four-link style suspension, while also getting the great road handling of a coil spring suspension. Another benefit of the BMR kit is its fully adjustable Watts-Links, so you can tune the suspension to fit your car, or what type of driving you'll be doing.
Follow along as we install the kit on a '69 Camaro.
The first order of business was to get the exhaust system out of the way. The tailpipe on the exhaust will need to be modified so it doesn't interfere with the Watt's link.
Here's the whole 12-bolt kit (BMR is also working on a kit for 9-inch equipped first gens). Everything is heavy gauge steel tubing, with full powder coating, polyurethane bushings, sleeves, and all necessary installation hardware.
After the exhaust is out of the way, the stock trans crossmember gets removed, and the new BMR unit is test fitted into place.
The kit comes with a new polyurethane transmission mount so you don't have to reuse your old one.
With the crossmember in place, it's time to mark on the subframe where to drill for the mounting bolts. The BMR cross member features a swing-out design making it easier to remove than the stock cross member. The unit also features plenty of arching to clear a variety of exhaust tubing sizes.
With holes marked and drilled, it's a simple matter of bolting the crossmember in place.
All bolts are in place, and the crossmember is ready to go. You can see the mounting point just below the tail shaft for the torque arm. If you've got a 3rd or 4th Gen Camaro, it's the same basic system that came from the factory on those cars, but much beefier.
With the front finished, it's time to move to the rear. First thing to do is drain the rear of fluid and remove the cover.
Use the factory bolt holes, the included studs are installed to hold the torque arm and Watts-Link rear end mount in place.

EDIT : You can see a robot that does this sort of thing here.
This week's inspiration is somewhat advanced: construction robots. Can you make a robot that builds something, on its own, out of LEGOs? It doesn't have to be another robot, or even something very complicated. You could have a robot build a wall, for example. Or you could have a pallet of pieces, arranged in the right order, that a robot selects and puts together on a workspace.
You can see some (very) elaborate examples of construction robots in the Aircraft Factory and Car Factory. Obviously, you probably wouldn't make something like this, but maybe a small, simpler, version would be possible.
Let us know if you make one!
P.S. See other posts in this blog series here.

Jill Breck was just doing her job as a river guide when she saved the life of the son of two of St. Kilda Consulting's premier operators. But when a string of ominous events -- including a mysterious fire that kills her great-aunt and a furor in the Western art world raised by a dozen Breck family paintings -- culminates in a threat to her life, Jill finally calls in a favor.
Zach Balfour works part-time as a consultant for St. Kilda. Though he's got the skills to be a highly effective bodyguard, being a bullet catcher isn't his preferred way to spend time. But Jill is in deeper waters than she's ever known, and she ll need his protection; as she soon discovers, the perils of running wild rivers are tame compared with the hidden dangers in the high-stakes game of art collecting. Together, Zach and Jill must race against time to unmask a ruthless killer hidden in the blue smoke of money, threats, lies, and death. . . .

10. Aaron Curry – LB – Seahawks
It's tough to say a rookie underachieved, but Curry entered the league as a can't-miss prospect. His 2009 season was a disappointment from day one. He started 12 games for the Seahawks and played nearly every snap when he was healthy, but just never produced. Making the transition from the ACC to the NFL certainly wasn't aided by the sinking ship that was the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. The new regime has no allegiances to him, meaning he'll have to earn his job in 2010 and the expectations will be very high.
9. Charlie Johnson – OT – Colts
Maybe this isn't the right list for Johnson, because no one has really ever expected much from him. But he remains the starting left tackle for one of the league's best quarterbacks, and with that comes the expectation of success. Johnson was a liability last season, especially in the Super Bowl when he allowed one hit and three pressures. As Manning gets older, protecting him becomes more important and Johnson needs to prove he can step up the challenge.
8. Jonathan Vilma – LB – Saints
Vilma was the Saints best linebacker in 2009, but that's not saying much. They've since parted ways with Scott Fujita and failed to find an adequate replacement. Vilma will need to continue to improve in order to make up for the deficiencies at outside linebacker in New Orleans.
7. Levi Brown – OT – Cardinals
Brown's poor play was masked by Kurt Warner's pocket presence the past few seasons, but his sloppy play must stop now that Matt Leinart is under center. He'll be asked to anchor the Cardinals patchwork offensive line and finally live up to expectations.
6. Amobi Okoye – DT – Texans
Drafted as a 19-year-old in 2007, Okoye was supposed to be an instant terror on the Texans' interior defensive line. Instead, Okoye has been a liability against the run and rarely made an impact as a pass rusher. He registered just two sacks and five hits in 2009, numbers that much improve if he's to avoid a bust label in his 4th season in the league.
5. LaRon Landry – S – Redskins
Landry was supposed to be the leader of the Redskins' secondary in the post-Sean Taylor era. He's made his presence felt in run support, but he's struggled to adjust to the speed of the NFL passing game. He is stiff in coverage and is often caught out of position. The Redskins have remained committed to him, but his days could be numbered if he doesn't impress the new regime early on.
4. Derrick Johnson – LB – Chiefs
Johnson was a college legend at Texas, but his transition to the NFL has been a tough one. He's never lived up to expectations in Kansas City and he could be getting his last chance in 2010. Romeo Crennel will look to him to step up as a starter at inside linebacker and he'll need to perform if the Chiefs have a chance to rebound from a miserable defensive performance in 2009.
3. Darren McFadden – RB – Raiders
McFadden was supposed to have an Adrian Peterson-like impact and help turn around the Raiders fortunes. Instead, he's struggled to hold off Michael Bush and Justin Fargas for the starting job in Oakland. McFadden needs to finally live up expectations before the Raiders send him packing along with JaMarcus Russell.
2. Matt Forte – RB – Bears
After a memorable rookie season Forte suffered a brutal sophomore slump. Mike Martz likes to incorporate his running back into the passing game as much as any offensive coordinator, which could mean Forte is due for a breakout season. We should get a good idea for how much Martz trusts Forte based on how they use him in training camp and in preseason games.
1.Matt Leinart – QB – Cardinals
All eyes will be on Leinart early this season. He has the physical tools to be an elite quarterback, but he just hasn't put in the effort to live up to expectations. Perhaps the light bulb has finally gone off now that Warner is gone and he's been given his last chance to succeed in Arizona. Derek Anderson will be breathing down his neck, pushing Leinart every step of the way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RadMom from Really works. My magic potion. Hammer Balm has saved many races. On the seventh lap of a 24 hour solo race on a rigid singlespeed my arms were so sore I could hardly hold the bars. I rubbed Hammer Balm on and they did not hurt anymore. I rode 4 more laps to 3rd place. I recently was too aggressive in training an stressed my knees. When they ached I rubbed on Hammer Balm and they felt fine.

It's not every day that you meet someone who actually wants to blow up his Corvette's engine. Yet, that's exactly what Rich Lenhart is trying to do. As head man at Corvette Connection in Denver, Rich and his '99 coupe are taking one for the team in the name of R&D. But being donated to science has been anything but a death sentence for this C5, as all sorts of new toys-and wretched amounts of horsepower-have the Vette teeming with life!
Rich and his wife, Denise, have been avid members of the Corvette hobby for quite some time. When they bought a C5 in April of 2000, it was immediately destined to be the "Baddest Vette in town," according to Rich. After a year of playing, tweaking, and modifying the potent and eye-catching coupe, Rich has taken the Colorado high country by storm, but the upgrades continue. "My personal goal," asserts Rich, "was to build a show-stopping performance vehicle that can be street driven (Never trailered!) to all shows and race events." It runs 12.2s and 117 mph in the quarter at 5,280 feet elevation (equating to high 10's at sea level), can take a corner like it was on rails, and is civilized and legal on the street. "I have hit that goal, and have plans to go even faster!"
The Vette is currently powered by the original LS1 block, but that's not to say it's anywhere near stock. Underneath the custom-painted GM Performance Parts carbon fiber engine cover lurks an '01 LS6 intake manifold being force-fed by an 11-pound ATI Procharger DI-SC supercharger. Being dissatisfied with the quality of existing installation kits for the blower, Corvette Connections designed their own kit for a clean and efficient fitment. They also have tried many interesting tricks, like reconfiguring the windshield reservoir into an aftercooler system. Thirty-pound injectors feed fuel to the engine, and 1 3/4-inch HPC-coated headers allow spent gases to escape out the other end via a four-inch exhaust system. With the addition of some extremely precise computer tuning, Rich is squeezing 594 lbs-ft of torque and 547 rear-wheel horsepower out of the LS-1 at 5,280 feet elevation-that equates to 635 horses at sea level!
All that power is coming from a stock LS-1 short-block, and going through a 4L60-E with a 2,800-rpm torque converter, and 3.73:1 gears in the transaxle give the C5 even more snap. In addition to RPO F45 Real Time Dampening, Bilstein shocks help to plant Weld Racing 18x9.5-inch front and 20x9.5-inch rear wheels, which are wrapped in P275/40ZR (front) and P335/30ZR (rear) Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Position tires. The C5 has GM Racing T-1 anti-roll (stabilizer) bars both front and back to straighten out the curves, and Baer Brakes' drilled and slotted rotors with massive four-piston calipers on all four corners to match the Vette's excessive acceleration capabilities.
As much fun as the "mild" engine is, it is only a testbed. Rich wants to find out just how much stress an LS1 with a stock bottom end can handle. He wants to kill it, and is ready to build a really bad engine if-and-when the current configuration gives up. He estimates the Vette would be back in commission within three or four days time, and better than ever! When the time comes, Rich's guys will machine the LS1 block, and then take it from the stock 346 out to 383 cubic inches. A Lunati crankshaft, 6.125-inch rods, and cam will help fortify the bottom end, along with forged Ross 9.00:1-compression pistons, Total Seal rings, Clevite bearings, and hardened pushrods. On top, a set of Stage II Flowed aluminum heads have been ported, polished and CC'ed, and are awaiting their turn with titanium 1.82 ratio rocker arms and titanium retainers.

Moisture Transfer - High
The ventilated upper and cushioned sole make this sock perfectly ventilated and comfortable for all types of riding conditions.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.
Often simplicity determines adaptability. Minimalist versatility is incorporated in every piece of this collection to perfectly outfit that multi-purpose athlete.
Designed specifically for women.

Relief of a High Official
As perhaps the most powerful official of his time in southern Egypt, Montuemhat had one of the largest and most lavishly decorated nonroyal tombs known. Although this relief is probably of the man himself, it is not a portrait. Rather, It is an idealizing, archalzing image reflecting the style of Theban works of Dynasty XVIII and possibly also the Middle Kingdom. The fortuitous blackening of the relief's surface is the result of a burning of unknown date.

Does not focus on anything

Comments about GeoSafari® Deluxe MagniScope®:
My son got very frustrated because he could not focus on anything. Four adults, including a doctor and engineer, were also unable to focus on anything. Basically a microscope that doesn't work. This was a gift so we are unable to return.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Oh, Mom, this is terrible news. Please email email@example.com so we can better understand the issue, repair the scope, or replace it with something else.

Great idea. Missed on the execution. Very difficult to focus. Would have paid more if it worked. Instead it will be returned.

Thomas the Train originally started out as a children's book, like many modern day children's shows. Thomas the Train is based on The Railway Series by Reverend Wilbur Awdry and his son, Christopher Awdry. Wilbur Awdry began to tell stories to his son to entertain him when his son had measles. The Railway Series was the resulting book of his stories. This book has since became an inspiration to many, and has helped many people through their difficult times just like it helped Christopher when he was young.
Wilbur drew his inspiration from the trains of the Great Western Railway. At night he would lay awake and hear the sounds of the banking engines helping a freight train up the steep hill. He imagined the trains were having a conversation and talking with one another, encouraging each other up the hill. He imagined the freight train saying, "I think I can, I know I can," while climbing the hill. The conversation continued, with the two trains encouraging each other up the hill.
The book was later turned into a show which closely followed the book's storyline, at least at first. The show details the adventures of Thomas and his anthropomorphized train friends who live on the fictional island of Sodor. Ringo Starr actually helped to narrate the show from 1984-1986. Research reveals that he at first was reluctant to take the part, because he had never read any of the books. However, he later changed his mind and accepted the part. He, out of all of the narrators, is the one that is most frequently associated with the show.
Although no new TV episodes are currently being produced, Thomas is still a classic show and piece of children's literature that is not bound to disappear anytime soon. If you are a long-devoted fan of Thomas, or enjoy watching the reruns, then don't hesitate to check out our Thomas the Train Toys. We also have Thomas's friends Gordon, Edward, Henry, James, Percy, Toby, Emily and many more. For more fun and to play games with Thomas and Friends, click here.
