50 tjfl 14 PAIENTED 3E? 31974 3.833.218 SHEET 301' 3 GAME RACKET BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to a racket v for use in playing such games as tennis, badminton, squash, paddle ball and other such similar games employing the use of a racket which is generally constructed having a frame or head portion connected at a neck or throat to a handle or grip portion. Specifically, the present invention is directed to such a racket in which the handle is detachably connected to the frame or head so that the racket may be rendered hybrid.
Over the years rackets for use in such games specifically in the game of tennis have been made of a variety of materials so as to provide certain advantages in playing the game. The widely used and well-known wooden racket is typically formed with the head and handle portion integral. The handle is'formed of a shank extending from the head. The actual grip of the handle or grip portion is usually a thickened section of the shank having a hand-gripping cover such as leather or'rubber wrapped about the thickened handle. The wooden racket presents several disadvantages to the user. These include possible warping of the frame and breaking the racket at the neck area or about the frame.
In order to overcome the disadvantages of the wooden racket the-modern day metal racket was developed. These rackets are typically made of aluminum, aluminum alloys, steel, etc., and provide the required durability and tend to be lighter in weight than the wooden racket. The new metal rackets have met with significant commercial success however these, like the wooden rackets, are typically constructed with the head and handle portions being integrally formed from a frame having an extended shank. The actual grip of the handle may be formed by a built-up area on the shank to form a thickened portion similar to the thickened portion of the well-known wooden racket.
In any case, whether the racket be made of wood or whether it be made of a metal, metal alloy, or any other material, the grip portion is formed integrally with the entire racket. Should a player decide to'alter the type of grip which he chooses to use or to change the size of the grip or its weight, he would be required to obtain an entirely new racket at considerable expense, rather than simply a new grip. Further, in marketing the typical integral tennis racket an enormous stock of rackets, having different size grips, type of grips, lengths, etc. has to be maintained by the sporting goods supplier so that the purchaser may have his choice of grip.
Many people prefer the wooden frame racket, or may wish to play with a wooden racket only temporarily. They are required to purchase an entirely new racket. The change to a wooden racket also requires that the player become accustomed to a new grip which is an integral part of the new racket.
The player may purchase a new racket for a variety of reasons. Tennis rackets are provided with strings carried by the frame or head portions which are usually either gut or nylon. Both of these materials provide certain advantages under different playing conditions and a player for one reason or other may decide to play with nylon under one set of conditions while choosing to play with the gut stringing under another set of conditions. In order to satisfy this particular players needs he would have to be supplied with two entirely separate tennis rackets, each having the different stringing material. Again this is a situation which requires the player to become accustomed to using a different grip with each tennis racket. A tennis player may also choose to purchase a new racket simply because the head portion of his racket has become seriously damaged and requires replacement. Again, a new tennis racket with a new grip will be required.
The size, weight distribution, feel and overall adaptability to a players peculiar hand of a particular grip becomes a factor upon which a player becomes accustomed and relies on. Any change or alteration in these factors tends to require a period of adjustment. It is therefore most desirable if a player can rely on the security of a particular grip and the knowledge that he can use his grip no matter what type of head he chooses to use.
For these reasons, tennis rackets having a detachable grip or handle portion, in order to provide an interchangeability feature have been proposed so that a single grip can be used with a variety of head or frame portions. This would allow a merchant to stock a wide variety of grips to meet the various size and weight needs while only one or two basic frames which may be used with the grip need be stocked. The prior attempts at tennis rackets having interchangeable grips however, does not appear to have met with any appreciable commercial success. Probable reasons for such failure appears to be the fact that the interchangeability feature is specifically limited to changing the type of grip which is used on a particular tennis racket rather than changing the type of head or frame portion which may be used with a particular grip. In the prior devices the' frame or head portion is still made integral with an extended shank portion even though the actual grip which may be attached to the shank is interchangeable with other size grips. The merchant is still required to stock a large supply of handle or grip portions. This approach overlooked the desirability of providing a variety of head portions made of various materials such as the well-known wood or metal rackets so as to be interchangeable with the particular grip. Further, various head portions being strung with different materials, whether it be gut, nylon, or metal, can also be provided for use with a particular grip. Also, if a player should require or desire to play with a grip having a different sizehe would have to turn to an entirely new grip or handle having the required size.
Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a racket for use in playing such games as tennis, badminton, squash, paddle ball, etc. in which the grip or handle portion is detachable from the frame or head portion at the throat or neck area of the racket thus providing an interchangeability feature.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a racket so that handles having different lengths may be used with the same head for use by children, adolescents or adults.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a tennis racket of the aforementioned type in which a hybrid tennis racket having a head portion made of one type of material may be combined with a grip or handle portion made of a different type of materialso as to provide the various advantages of each.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a racket having a detachable handle in which the means for attaching the handle to the head portion provides rigidity and firmness of structure between the handle and frame and proper alignment between these elements. I
A still further object of the present invention is to provide such a tennis racket in which the throat portion of the racket provides an interface and connecting element between the head and handle portions.
A further object is to include an extended screw element running the length of the grip'or handle for providing a means of secure attachment between the handle and the head portion.
Another object of the inventionis to provide a tennis racket which has means for varying the size of the actual grip so that a player may continue using the same grip but altering its size to suit his or anothers need.
Other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the invention in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now more in detail to the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 shows in an exploded view one embodiment of a hybrid tennis racket as envisioned by the present invention. The combination racket includes ba sically two components, to wit a handle portion 10 and a head portion 11. The head 11, an example of which is shown in FIG. 4 is formed of a throat l2 and a frame 13. The frame 13 may be made of aluminum, steel, chrome, or other lightweight metal circularly or elliptically shaped terminating in the throat 12 at ends 14, and having a bridge element 15 so as to complete the uniform shape of the head which generally defines a stringing area. The strings 16 are supported by the frame in any of a variety of well-known manners, none of which form part of the present invention. The strings 16 may be either the well-known nylon, gut or metal.
The frame 13 may further be constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or any other material which is found suitable for meeting the durability and response requirements of playing the game in which the racket is to be used. The throat portion 12, which may be either formed integrally with the frame as shown in FIG. 3, or separately secured to the frame 13 as shown in FIG. 4
may likewise be made of any suitable material. It is suggested however, that one most suitable combination is to form the throat 12 of a molded plastic in which the frame 13, preferably made of metal tubing is secured to the throat during the molding process. FIG. 1 shows the throat 12 as being plastic, fiberglass or other synthetic material with the frame 13 embedded within the molded throat. The head shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 there'- fore provides the player with all of the advantages of the successful metal racket in which the frame 13 is formed of suitable metal tubing. When a player decides to use such a metal racket this type of head is available. FIG. 3, on the other hand, shows a head portion 17 formed completely of wood having a wooden frame 13 and an integrally formed wooden throat l8.
Either of the head portions, such as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, may be used with the separate handle 10 such as shown in FIG. 1. The handle may also be made of a variety of metals. The handle shown in FIG. 1 is shown to be made of wood so as to provide the damping advantages inherent in this material. The handle 10 generally comprises the handle body 19 and a grip area 20. As previously noted, the body shown in FIG. 1 is made of wood. A conventional leather, plastic or rubber grip 21 is wound about the grip area of the body and may be covered with a reusable and disposable plastic or polyethelene covering 22 so as to protect the actual grip material.
In FIG. 1, the handle body 19 has an an axially extending central bore 23 extending the entire length of the handle body. A necked-down portion 24 forming shoulders 25 and 35 is located in the upper part of the bore 23. A bolt 26 having a partially threaded portion 27 is carried within the bore 23 and may be journalled between bearings 28 which are preferably Teflon 0- rings having a square cross-sectional area. The end of the bolt 26 which is remote from the threaded portion 27 has a slotted head 29 which is located near the base 30 of the handle body. The head 29 is slightly recessed into the bore 23 so as not to protrude beyond the base of the handle. A flange (or pin) 36 is carried on the bolt for locating the bolt within the bore preventing axial movement in a direction away from the head of the bolt by engagement with shoulder 35. End face 31 of the handle body is provided with a pair of guide pins 32 and 33. One of the guide pins 32 may have a somewhat smaller diameter than the other guide pin 33 for proper alignment into the throat portion 12 of the head 11. A tension spring 34 is helically wound about the bolt 26 and bears at one end thereof against a shoulder 25 formed by necked-down area 24. The guide pins 32 and 33 may be conveniently secured to the handle body preferably by screwing in place.
The throat 12 of the head portion is provided with a pair of guide slots 42 and 43 so as to receive the guide pins 32 and 33 of the handle. Guide slot 42 has a diameter slightly less than guide slot 43 so as to accommodate guide pin 32 and guide slot 43 having a diameter for receiving guide pin 33. In this manner the head and handle portions can be secured to one another with proper and consistent alignment so that the opposite faces of the head will always be aligned with corresponding parts of the handle.
A partial bore 44 extends from the base 45 of the throat terminating at 46 located approximately twothirds of the depth of the throat. The bore 44 is axially and centrally located and is aligned with bore 23 of the handle when the handle is secured to the throat. An internally threaded metal insert 47 is secured at the end of the partial bore 44 for receiving the threaded end 27 of bolt 26. The insert 47 may be secured in place within the partial bore as by wedging or during the molding process of the throat. Partial bore 44 and guide slots 42, 43 may either be formed during molding or by a machining operation subsequent to molding.
In operation, in order to secure the handle to the head 11, bolt 26 is inserted into partial bore 44 of the throat, guide pins 32 and 33 being aligned so as to be inserted into guide slots 42 and 43 respectively. Threaded portion 27 is then screwed into insert 47 by turning the bolt 26 by means of a tool applied to the slotted end 29 at the base of the handle. Alternative means for causing rotation of the bolt may be carried by the bolt itself. FIG. 7 shows such a means as comprising bolt removal key 98 pivotally carried at the end of bolt 26. When not in use the key may be recessed within bore 23. The end of the bolt 26 may also have a tab area 100 as shown in FIG. 8 so as to carry akey 99 of the type shown in FIG. 8.
The other end of spring 34 bears against end48 of insert 47 so as to provide proper tension between the throat and the handle and so as to urge the handle 10 away from the throat 12 thereby facilitating the disassembling operation, and together with the pins and slots, to provide proper rigidity and firmness of structure. Disassembly is accomplished by unscrewing the bolt from the insert 47 by means of applying the same tool to the slotted end 29 of the bolt. The bolt 26 is screwed into the insert 47 until base 45 of throat 12 and end face 31 interface in a smooth transition. The bolt 26 and guide pins 32 and 33 are sufficiently long so as to provide adequate stability between the head and handle body. The exact length of these elements and the degree of depth of insertion is determined by the relative size of the throat portion and may vary between one and three inches.
A truly hybrid tennis racket is formed by attaching the handle 10 as shown in FIG. 1 to the head 11. The handle 10 being made of wood provides all the advantages of a wooden racket while all the advantages of a metal frame as provided by the head 11 are combined with it. Any number of other combinations of hybrid tennis rackets are also obtainable in this manner. For example, the wooden handle 10 may be combined with a totally wooden frame 17 such as shown in FIG. 3. The throat area 18 of the wooden frame 17 will similarly have a metal insert 47 located in the partial bore 44 for receiving the threaded end 27 of bolt 26, guide slots 42 and 43 provided in the throat 18 of the wooden frame for receiving the guide pins 32, 33.
A further embodiment of the hybrid tennis racket is shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the throat portion 52 has two guide slots 53 and 54 which are aligned with the ends 14 of the metal tubular frame 13 of the head 11. The ends 14 of frame 13 are internally threaded at 55 and 55' as shown in FIG. 2. Alternatively internal threaded metal inserts may be carried at the ends 14 of the tubular frame 13 as in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The metal inserts may be secured in place by press fitting or by set screws which may be provided on an outside surface of the tubular frame 13 at the ends 14 and secured so as to secure the metal inserts in place prior to molding the throat 52 with the ends of the frame embedded in the throat.
The handle 10 for use with the head 1 1 shown in FIG. 2 comprises a handle body 56 which may be made of wood, as is shown in FIG. 1, or may be made of metal such as cast aluminum or magnesium as shown in FIG. 2. Axial bores 57 and 58 are provided in the handle body 56 and accommodate bolts 59 and 60 respectively. Bolts 59 and 60 have partially threaded ends 61 and 62 respectively arranged for engagement with internally threaded ends and 55' or inserts carried by the tubular metal frame 13. Bolts 59 and have slotted ends 63 and 64 respectively at the base 30 of the handle which may be either slightly recessed at the base or arranged flush therewith as shown in FIG. 2. The key and bolt arrangements shown in FIGS. 7 or 8 may be used with bolts 59 and 60 instead of slots 63 and 64 respectively. Springs 65 and 66 are carried by the ends of the bolts 59 and 60 respectively and act at one end thereof against shoulders 67 and 68 respectively provided by necked-down area 69 and 70 within bores 57 and 58 respectively. Bolts 59 and 60 carry flanges 37 and 38 respectively which engage shoulders 39 and 40 respectively of necked-down areas 69 and 70 respectively to prevent axial removal of the bolts when the handle is secured to the head.
During assembly the threaded ends of bolts 59 and 60 are inserted into guide solts 54 and 53 and secured in metal inserts 55 of the tubular frame 13 by turning the bolts 59 and 60 at the slotted ends 63 and 64 or by keys 98 or 99. In this manner a secure connection of the handle to the head is accomplished by direct securement of the bolts through the handle to the frame 13. The bolts are screwed into the inserts until base 45 of the throat 52 and end face 31 of the handle body 56 interface in a smooth transition.
A further advantageous feature of the present invention is to provide the handle 10 with an expandable grip so that a single grip can be used for different players who are accustomed to different sized grips or may be used by the same player who wishes to vary the size of his grip. In FIG. 5 there is shown a handle 10 of the type shown in FIG. 1 having a body portion 71 which is solid up to body base 72 and is provided with an axial central bore 73 which has a necked-down portion 74 forming a shoulder 75 against which spring 34.bears. The remainder of the handle 10 extending from the base of body 71 to the base of the handle is substantially hollow enclosed by movable wall plates 76 which may either form a cylinder so that the handle has a circular cross-section or may be formed into the familiar octagonal cross-section of the typical tennis racket handle. A hollow metal sleeve 77 is centrally and axially arranged through the handle 10 accommodated within the bore 73 of body 71 and in a bore 78 of base insert 79. The sleeve 77 has an externally threaded portion 81. The bolt 26 having a partially threaded end section 27 is carried within the sleeve 77 joumalled between the teflon O-ring bearings 28 as described with reference to FIG. 1. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 there are four such O-rings rather than two as shown in FIG. 1. In order to provide rigidity and further substance to the hollow handle portion, foam or sponge rubber packing. 82 is provided. An expander assembly is carried on the threaded portion of the sleeve 77 for varying the external diameter of the grip. The assembly comprises at least two flex elements 83 and 84 secured such as by riveting or spot welding at 85 and 86 respectively to the wall plates 76. The flex elements are preferably made of spring steel and are connected at one end to a slide ring 87 arranged for sliding movement over the sleeve 77, and at their other end to an internally threaded ring 88 which is in engagement with the external threads 81 carried by sleeve 77.
The sleeve 77 is provided with means for causing rotation thereof. One such means is shown in FIG. with the sleeve having diametrically opposed slots 89 and 90 located at the end of the sleeve adjacent base 80 of the handle. Rotation of the sleeve 77 can be effected by use of a tool such as 91 shown in FIG. 6 designed for engagement with slots 89 and 90. Another means for causing rotation of sleeve 77 is shown in FIG. 9. The sleeve 77 has an enlarged diameter portion 101 and an adjustment key 102 carried thereon by pins 103. The base body member 79 is provided with recess 104 in which the key '102 may be stored when not in use. The bolt 26 may also be provided with key 98.
Upon rotation of the sleeve 77, threaded ring 88 will be caused to be axially moved along sleeve 77' by engagement with threads 81 thereby causing the flex elements to be either pulled together or spread apart depending upon the direction of rotation of the sleeve (i.e. rings87 and 88 moved away from or toward each other). Upon spreading of the flex elements 83 and 84 (i.e. rings 87 and 88 moving toward each other) wall plate 76 will be caused to expand thus enlarging the overall diameter of the grip.
FIG. 6 shows the bottom of the handle of FIG. 5 in which a separate tool is used for adjustment instead of the keys shown in FIG. 9. The slotted head 29 of bolt 26 is accessible through bore 78 of base body member 79. Slots 89 and 90 are likewise accessible through bore 78. Tool 91 may be accommodated within an aperture 92 and secured to the base by a flexible laniard 93. The aperture 92 may be closed by cover 94 pivotably connected to the base 80 at 95. A name plate identification tag 96 may also be accommodated on the base 80.
The grip of the handle 10 of FIG. 5 may be provided with the rubber covering 21 as in FIGS. 1 and 2 as well as with the cover 22.
It should be apparent from the foregoing that a useful and novel hybrid tennis racket is provided by the present invention in which a head portion may be securely connected to a detachable handle portion permitting the use of a head formed of one material with a handle formed of a different material and which may further include a means for varying the size of the grip.
While the invention has been described and illustrated with respect to certain embodiments which give satisfactory results, it will be understood by those skilled in the art, after understanding the purpose of the invention that various other changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and it is therefore intended in the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications.

This is a very traditional arabic soup. My sister in law uses this same recipe. I think it's an absolute treat. It's a very thick & hearty soup that's good as a light meal or as a starter. It's fast, easy & very tasty!!
Nice Easy Recipe,I addded Indian curry flavoured Tomatoes and a dash of Tabasco instead of plain and garnished it before serving with freshly chopped coriander.Absolutely delicious Thank you.

Dit gezellige een kamer hut heeft het allemaal! Het is gelegen op een 1 acre veel op Meadowlake in Seguin, Texas. Ontspannen op het terras of ontspannen door het water. De 400 SF cabine is voorzien van een volledig ingerichte keuken met fornuis, magnetron, koelkast en granieten aanrecht. Ingericht met een full-size bed en een full size slaapbank. De patio heeft een grote tafel met 4 stoelen en paraplu. Adirondack stoelen voor extra zitplaatsen. Vuurplaats en houtskool grill voor de grill meester in de familie. Nieuwe dock!
Nice quiet and relaxing spot.
We took our two dogs here for a mini, end-of-summer trip and everything was great. The house was cozy, clean and comfortable. It looks like a renovated and updated guest house and they've done a spectacular job. There was even an extra automatic pump for airing up our floating tubes!
The river is just a short walk away and you can access it via a deck or boat launch area. It gets deep quick, but the water is perfect! We'll be booking this place again.
Quick tips: We didn't have time to watch much TV, but we noticed TV selection was pretty limited. If you get rained out or need a break, consider taking DVDs. There was a DVD player.
Sit outside at night on the deck after the green light turns on. The fish watching is fun.
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for a quick weekend getaway and it was just what we needed! The cabin was immaculately clean, all furnishings, fixtures, etc were in great condition. The yard was freshly mowed, it was stocked with all the extras you might need: coffee, towels, plenty of utensils, they even had charcoal for the grill! The water was wonderful, great dock with lounge chairs, huge trees for shade, it was rigged for fishing at night, the owners thought of everything, I just can't say enough about how great it was! We would definitely stay here again.
We were seeking a quiet, comfortable place to rest and enjoy the river. Well, we found it! The cabin was clean and inviting. The private dock offered excellent opportunity for fishing, swimming and lounging. Diane was helpful and a delight to work with making our stay a treasured memory. We'll be back!
Love this place! This place is beautiful.
We visited the area for the weekend, the cabin is very clean, quaint and comfortable. The manager called to make sure we were able to access the cabin and ensure had everything we needed for the stay. The view of the river is beautiful, the property has a nice fishing pier, the lawn is well manicured. We highly recommend this property if you decide to take a river get away for the weekend. The management is very friendly and accommodating, good people who made our stay very enjoyable.
Meadowlake ligt op enkele minuten van het Seguin stadsplein, Starke park (golfbaan en golf park) en ZDT's Amusement Park. Dicht bij New Braunfels (Schlitterbahn, raften stroomversnellingen, Natural Bridge Caverns), San Marcos (outlet winkelcentrum), Gruene (winerys, restaurants, antiek), San Antonio (Alamo, Riverwalk, SeaWorld, Fiesta Texas).

Definition of concatenate
: linked together
Origin and Etymology of concatenate
Middle English, from Late Latin concatenatus, past participle of concatenare to link together, from Latin com- + catena chain
First Known Use: 15th century
Definition of concatenate
transitive verb
: to link together in a series or chain
concatenationplay \(ˌ)kän-ˌka-tə-ˈnā-shən, kən-\ noun
Examples of concatenate in a sentence
<concatenate several lists of instructions into a single master file>
<the movie actually concatenates into one extended narrative several episodes from various books in the series>
Did You Know?
Concatenate comes directly from Latin concatenare, which in turn is formed from con-, meaning "with" or "together," and catena, meaning "chain." In fact, the word chain itself evolved from "catena." "Concatenate" has a somewhat longer history as an adjective, meaning "linked together," than as a verb. The adjective first appeared in English in the 15th century and the verb was in use by the early 17th century. "Catenate," a verb in its own right meaning "to link in a series," had also arrived on the scene by the early 17th century.

Children who live in places where the winter months bring lots of snow will favor this book as much as any child who may not live near snow and wish to see it.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is the sort of book read to kids in kindergarten or by parents on cold nights. Board books for infants and preschoolers and larger picture books for children as old as eight, The Snowy Day presents the adventures of a young boy named Peter in the city on a day where snow covers the ground, thick and white. He has a whole day ahead of him full of snowmen and snowballs, snow angels and snow mountains! The snowy possibilities are almost endless!
With its unadorned story and colorful illustrations, The Snowy Day won the Caldecott Award in 1963. Ezra Jack Keats helped to break the mold of children's books by bringing African-American characters into the limelight. Children and adults everywhere now recognize Peter in his little red snowsuit as he leaves footprints through the snow. The story is enough to get any child excited about the potential of the first newly fallen snow. Pictures of it piled high with a background of blue sky and wispy white clouds are enough to entrance any child. Those who have never been near snow can let their imaginations run wild and dream of what they might do if the next day was a snow day. A great book to curl up with during the winter season, especially during holiday breaks at school.

I've been blogging since last week of February but yesterday I received a comment on one of my post "Cebu's Lechon". Somehow it affects me because as far as I know, I've been honest to all my posts, I will say if the food is good, so-so or not because I do not want to lie to my readers. I am also one of the people who also rely on some reviews, testimonies and comments. That is the power of blogging.
These are the comments.
"I have read this blog and honestly it loses the morale of being a good critic. We don't need to judge the product of the competitor by an identifiable statement in which fact we're not aware of. CNT's lechon and Ayer's lechon have different taste as i have tasted it. And to whoever the one sending the blog, you can't judge that Ayer's Lechon is a rubber...stealing such taste. Please taste it again and you can clearly identify the difference. As you have said, it took you three days to eat CNT but less than a day for Ayer. Isn'y it because Ayer's Lechon tasted really good. Good beyond expectation???!u Come to think of it?"
"Indeed, we have our own preferences but be careful with your statement because it might affect the business itself. As I notice you tasted Ayer's Lechon once, is it enough to conclude such statement?"

Just say maybe: Is the world ready to abandon the war on drugs?
JUST say no. That's supposed to be our reaction to recreational drugs. The trouble is, lots of people say yes please. As a result, the world's governments have been waging a war on drugs for more than a century. Since 1961, the battle has been orchestrated via international treaties targeting all parts of the supply chain, from the producers to the smugglers, the sellers to the buyers.
Yet this supposedly united front has developed some conspicuous cracks. Now those countries backing a different approach have called a UN meeting later this month to make the case for change.
The question is whether the UN is ready to soften its stance or whether it will plough on despite mountains of evidence suggesting its zero-tolerance approach has failed. As the reformers collate this to present at the meeting, New Scientist looks at how the approaches taken by different countries stack up (see "Drugs around the world", below), and asks what can happen next.
Some nations are already taking change into their own hands. Portugal has decriminalised personal use of any drug – including cocaine and heroin – and several South and Central American countries are moving in the same direction. As for cannabis, the number of places where its open sale has been decriminalised in some form grows ever larger.
Most of these changes stem from the idea that while drug-taking has some health risks, a zero-tolerance approach means that those who become addicted cannot easily access treatment. And the majority who use drugs without getting hooked are criminalised, harming their life chances and putting pressure on justice ...

2002 Kia Sedona QuestionsRefine by vehicle
My no. 4 cylinder is not firing. Maybe there is coolant entering that cylinder. And going out the tailpipe.
Is that possible??
What could be causing my 2002 Kia Sedona to shut off right after it's started? It idles up a bit, then idles down, then it just shuts off.
What could cause my temperature gauge to constantly say that the van is running hot, but it isn't? I've checked the coolant, there isn't a leak or anything.
I have a 2002 Kia Sedona, and the battery is being drained. Everything has been checked, including the alternator. What else could it be? S/N The radio and power locks doesn't work, and the back windshield wiper constantly runs.
P1723 Code Kia Sedona 2002
Trying to sell my Van. My motor locked up. I placed a add and person wants to know if it has a overhead cam? We can't find anything in our book.
The colors of the wires are green, white and black with yellow stripe
The wires are green, white and black with a yellow stripe...I'll be more than thankful for any kind of info that may help me repair it
the battery was disconnected to remove alarm and now transmission revs up before shifting from 2nd to 3rd
The transmission revs high before shifting from 2nd to 3rd before shifting
I replaced both input/output sensors on our 02 Sedona. It was still shifting a little rough but the engine light went off by itself we just got it inspected and then the transmission started shifting hard with a bang.
My girl drives it home and P0715 comes up on my scanner. Checked all connections on the sensors all were ok. Reset the code and drove it a half a block and the check engine light right back on and the transmission is stuck in the fail safe now I can do anything with it.
Please help this is driving me nuts!! Thanks Scott

I had been looking for a larger slow cooker and boy does this one fit the bill! I have a large family and making main dishes is great in this 8.5 cooker!! The stainless steel design is attractive and the capablity of the removable insert makes clean up a snap. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a larger capacity slow cooker.Read More
This is my first crock pot, and I am glad that I got this one. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and does everything that is says it does. I would recommend this to anybody that is looking for a large crock pot. The only down side to it is that the majority of the crock pot get extremely hot when using it; even the handles on the side. But the handle on the lid seemed to stay cool while cooking.Read More
Love this crock pot! Great for making those larger meals. If you are use to a smaller crock, it will not replace that. Attempting to make a smaller amount will result in it overcooking. Adjust accordingly.It is perfect for larger roasts, chickens, or party size recipes! A great bargain at this price.... Would highly recommend!Read More
Large capacity is great for stews and soups. Made beef stew for 8 and it turned out fantastic. Stew meat was tender and juicy. Size held all the added vegetables with ease. Stainless appliance looks great on granite counter top. Price was added bonus.Read More
The reviews already posted were of great help. Yes, the surfaces get hot. Keep it out of reach from children. Foolproof cooking to perfection.Read More
I bought this item for my mother (for the holidays). She loves it we have a huge family and it only is getting bigger. The size is great and it heats up quickly and makes the roast so tender! The low setting runs a little though. Other then that it made my mom smile and has giving all of the family a full stomache every Sunday. Thanks again Overstock.com!Read More
This was given as a gift and the receiver loved it.They have a big family and it was perfect for them.She couldn't wait to use it.I believe anyone would get a lot of use out of this product especially if you have a large familyRead More
This product is nice looking and works great. I wanted an upgrade from my 6 quart slow cooker and this was a good choice. The outiside of the cooker dose get pretty warm, so I keep it back away from wandering toddler fingers. The exterior of the pot is a rather thin aluminum (I think) and will most likely begin to show dents and stains. But I think that will not affect the performance. The interior of the stonewear pot comes out for cleaning or serving and is quite sturdy. To date, I have had no problems.The interior cooking pot is as big as any I've seen. I used it for a large chicken with plenty of vegatables and had room to spare. I think I could fit two small chickens in it.Read More
Purchased this item for a gift the recipient was very please. It is a very large crock pot and is great if you are feeding a large family.Read More
The sides get hot to the touch. But this time saver saved my holiday and produced the best sauerbraten I've ever made.Read More
Recently used it for the first time. Everything came out great. It was very difficult to find a slow cooker of the family size and this one did the trick. Thanks Overstock.Read More
I bought this because the slow cooker I had was not nearly large enough. Now I can make a huge dinner, feed the family, and still have leftovers. It works great and seems to cook faster than my last one. It does get hot on the outside, but it is understood that no one touches it. The clean up is easy. Love it!Read More
This is a very nice slow cooker and will feed a crowd. I ordered this one as a gift and liked it so well that I ordered another one for myself!Read More
I bought this large crockpot hoping that it would be big enough for our family of 8 plus more. Yes, it is a great size for us! It looks nice, heats up fairly fast, and i can lift the lid without burning my fingers (this was a problem with my old one). The ONLY slight problem that I see with it is that lid does not fit as perfectly as it should; there is a little extra room so it is not very tight-fitting. Other than that, great value and nice size. I am happy with this purchase!Read More
This was a gift to my son. It is in constant use. They love the pot.Read More
This product has great capacity and excellent features! I love the "Auto" feature. Put a frozen roast along with all of the goodies in the cooker and turn on to Auto. It stays on hi long enough to thaw the meat then switches to low to slow cook. LOVE IT!! Shipping was fast and the price was right! THANKS OVERSTOCK!Read More
I bought this as a wedding gift, receiver loves the look of the item and says that it cooks well. I do not know if it will stand the test of time so no comments on its durability. Arrived safely packaged with no dents or other imperfections.Read More
I have only used it twice but so far it is great for our family of 10. Lots of room inside for meats and vegetables, and looks good on my counter with my stainless steel appliances.Read More
I used this slow cooker to prepare for a dinner party. The cooker did it's job. The entree was delicious. The unit is large and I have no room for it in the kitchen so I store it in it's box in our basement. I am looking forward to using it with smaller quantities. It was so convenient to prepare this meal without running to the range to see if my dinner had dried out or was sticking to the bottom of the pot.Read More
My wife and I have been looking for an easy solution to feed our ever hungry tweeners for months. As soon as we walked in the door from our 12 hour days at work and school, our children rushed to the refrigerator looking for something to consume. After months of beating them off of sodas, crackers, and a quick sandwich, we now have an alternative that works exceptionally well. This crock pot is huge it is able to hold a large chicken, a couple of days worth of stew, and enough chicken parts for two days of dinner. Since its arrival we have used it every week, at least 2 to 3 days of seven. It is more than wonderful to actually have a hot meal waiting for you as you walk in the door.Read More

Comment What about all of the other toys? (Score 4, Interesting) 66
I've got to say, this seems creepy to me. It's not just spying on kids, it's spying on whoever is in range. It's basically an open mic in your home, transmitting to god knows who.
So is a "smart" TV, a laptop computer, a tracker (a more appropriate name for a cell phone or mobile phone which recognizes the activity it does the most), and so many other voice-activated gadgets with network connectivity all running proprietary (read: untrustworthy by default) software. And a lot of these devices have cameras in them too, also under proprietary software control. And virtually all of them have been used by kids for years. Some of these devices have geolocation hardware in them too, that must make it easier to geotag the data the proprietors can acquire, keep, and share. I think it's great that people are finally getting around to thinking about the security and privacy implications when this is presented to them in the form of a toy but really this is far too late in coming.
Departing from the parent comment, situations like this are also a constant reminder of the profound inadequacies of modern-day IT experts who choose to surround themselves with these things, not in an experimental way to investigate them but as consumers who apparently value minor convenience more than their own privacy.
Only software freedom helps you enjoy all of these devices in a way where you, the user and owner of the device, can have a real say in what gets recorded, where that data is copied, and thus who gets access to that data. It's not about shutting these things out of your life entirely, it's about respecting who should control this data.

Emily Elbert weaves together a rhythmic soul-folk blend that is equal parts introspection and celebration. With a global spirit and DIY-passion, she has lovingly carried her music around the world, playing over a thousand independent shows from Peru to Palestine. These experiences are reflected in her lyrics, touching on both personal journeys and the divine. Anchored by intricate guitar playing and an old-soul voice, Emily's music offers progressive perspective while paying tribute to the timeless. She has independently released four albums, and two new singles in November of 2016.
Recently, Emily spent a year touring as a member of Esperanza Spalding's experimental music and theater project, "Emily's D+Evolution". The group played wild and wide-reaching shows around the world, from the Apollo Theater and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, to the Sydney Opera House.
Solo, Emily has had the honor of opening for acts including G. Love & Special Sauce, Leon Russell, Victor Wooten, Emily King, Robben Ford, Raul Midon, Kaki King, Nneka, Jorge Drexler, Tuck & Patti, and Richie Havens, and collaborated with artists ranging from Ben Taylor to Dweezil Zappa. Her music has garnered praise from publications like the Washington Post, Utne Reader, and Glamour Magazine, won awards in the U.S. and U.K., and attracted over two million YouTube views. The Boston Folk Festival notes, "Emily is among the most glowing of the upcoming generation of American singer-songwriters, if 'upcoming' even applies to this phenom any longer."
Emily is a proud endorser of:
D'Angelico EX-SS | Magneto T-Wave | Martin acoustic guitars
Kamoa Ukuleles | Pigtronix effects | John Pearse strings
