Remy Ma Lil Kim Foxy Brown Nicki Minaj Missy Elliott Lauryn Hill Queen Latifah Fat Joe Nina Simone Foxy Lady Missy Elliot Da Brat Lauren Hill Lady Gaga Mc Lyte Marilyn Monroe Iggy Azalea Chaka Khan Summer Jam Queen Pen Rah Digga Nikki Minaj
Lil Kim and Remy Ma are real female rappers to me there both the queen of rap I don't care what nobody say about them ht…
Remy Ma used Ether, Foxy Brown used The Takeover, so now Nicki Minaj has to use Hit Em Up & Lil Kim jump in on Who Sho…
Foxy Brown got a diss to Remy Ma? Let's get Lil Kim & Eve in this and make a Hip Hop come back 🔥
maybe Remy Ma or Lil Kim .. I guess but not every female artist.
Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Nicki Minaj, and Remy Ma are all better rappers than Drakes.
I liked a video Fabolous brings out Meth & Red, Lil Kim, Fat Joe, Remy Ma and more at Summer Jam
My favorite female MC's are Foxy Brown, Lil Kim and Remy Ma! 🎤
I just wish we had more female rappers, I love Nicki and all but I remember when we had Lil Kim, Trina, Foxy Brown, Remy Ma, and more.
I think Remy Ma scares me more than Lil Kim
For all the people that doubting that Remy Ma will not be a problem here's a reminder. Remy Ma dissing Lil Kim
Remember when Nicki Minaj was friends with Lil Kim, Remy Ma and Iggy Azalea
Don't ever try to step to me about Nicki, Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, Remy Ma, Eve, and all the other queens telling it how it is.
I'm going to say this and hope that I don't step on anyone's toes...however, here goes Remy Ma is the queen of NOTHING! Not saying that she isn't talented she's just not on Nicki's level. You may not care for Nicki Minaj but you can't deny that she's a lyrical genius nope she's no queen either Lil Kim, Queen Latifah and Mc Lyte are thee queens *my opinion* this flawless remix has changed the world lmbo it was an epic collaboration. Nicki and Bey are living legends in my book. *Ok carry on*
Nicki Minaj needs to get off her high horse. She claims that all female rappers should acknowledge her for kicking down doors for all female rappers. Well i give credit where credit is due: Mc Lyte, Missy Elliott,Nikki D, Boss, Remy Ma, Queen Latifah, Lil Kim, Lauren Hill, Suga T, The real Roxanne, Left Eye and many more. Please forward to Nicki thanks.
they have drama outside of music. See Remy Ma, Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill and Da Brat, individually.
Lil Kim ,Trina , Remy Ma & Eve always bring out the ratchet in me . 🎶🎧
I will always be a Lil Kim Fan but Remy Ma ft Neyo-So Good will always be my jam!
Top female rappers (in no order): Lady of Rage, Foxy Brown, Lil Kim (before the surgery), Remy Ma, Mc Lyte, Missy Elliot, Mia X, & Left-Eye.
Lil Kim and Remy Ma is not the only women to emulate in music. There is Lauryn Hill, missy, Nina Simone, Sade, Mariah, Aaliyah. be real
): Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, and Remy Ma was just played on the radio.
Vita, Charlie Baltimore, Foxy Brown, Lil Kim, Trina, Remy Ma, Eve, Queen Latifah, MC Light, Lauryn Hill, Da Brat Please come back to the Hip Hop world. Save us !
You know what female artist I miss next to Eve?? Remy ma!! Cause if Lil Kim can't handle Nikki Minaj she definitely would !
Who u think is the dopest female rapper of all time?? Lauryn Hill, Remy Ma, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Rah Digga, Nicki Minaj, Eve, Kreayshawn, Salt, Peppa, or Trina?
Q- if you could see anyone break back in to the game who would you want to see ? A- Hmm... Lil Kim... and Remy Ma... i wanna see females back in the game... you know my baby Brandy making her come back i am routing for her i need her to make it
just give up you wanna be Chaka Khan / Lady Gaga / Lil Kim / Madonna / Queen Pen / Remy Ma / Foxy Brown / Marilyn Monroe *** ***
What happened to all the female rappers in mainstream hip-hop? Lil Kim? Foxy Brown? Eve? Remy Ma? Michie Mee? All mainstream hip-hop has nowadays is Nicki Minaj...what a shame...
- What does Fat Joe think about Lil Kim's comments towards Nicki Minaj?
my all time femcees:Foxy Brown,Lady of Rage,Mc Lyte,Storm(her of Pac's Outlaw),Lil Kim,Snoop(her of the Wire).Eve was ayt,Dabrat was ok,Trina mh nada,Remy Ma well at least she murdered Fat Joe on lean back,Nicki Minaj no way..
Remy Ma and Lil Kim had beef but Kim is a nice person for letting Remy husband papoose rap on her tour and let him show love to Remy.

In my experience speaking with tourists and college students, the general consensus is that Miami is a dream. With vivid and exciting nightlife and beautiful beaches, they often wonder why anyone could complain about this "Magic City". However, locals (myself included) sometimes find themselves bored, because when you think you've seen it all, you find yourself asking yourself the same question every weekend: What is there to do in this dumb city?
In a recent dip out of my usual weekend routine – errands, yada yada yada – I visited Gramps, a hip, dark bar in the heart of Wynwood, to see my favorite The Smiths and Morrissey cover band, Ordinary Boys (and, admittedly, the only one I'm aware of). As someone who wishes they were alive during the 80s but was born too late, seeing them is always a treat for me. Unfortunately my dreams of a Smiths reunion have been crushed by former frontman Morrissey, but when my sister introduced me to Ordinary Boys a about a year ago, I was extremely happy. The band does a wonderful job of covering everyone's favorite Smiths and Morrissey tracks as well as the hidden gems some of us forget.
When they performed at Gramps a couple of weeks ago for Morrissey's birthday celebration, it was a packed Friday night. Gramps is interesting because there is an indoor bar, a smaller back room (with another bar) and a larger outdoor area decked out with white Christmas lights, picnic tables, a third bar, and a DJ spinning groovy jams. The bar was filled with interesting people from all corners of Miami. One of the most fascinating people I saw was a tall, thin man wearing a headband and a half-open short-sleeve button down shirt. He was dancing in the most wild yet graceful way. I wished I could dance like that, but then I remembered I'm about as coordinated as a a two-year-old.
Ordinary Boys performed in the smaller, more intimate room behind the indoor bar at Gramps. The crowd was especially hyped up and rowdy. As soon as the band occupied the stage, two guys started yelling song requests. Hearing "THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT!" and "UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!" after every song was both hilarious and terrifying. O-Boys started with "Bigmouth Strikes Again", and the crowd started dancing, singing, swaying, and cheering in approval. They went on to play a fantastic set with songs like "Headmaster Ritual", "Last of the Famous International Playboys", and "This Charming Man".
During the first few seconds of most songs I looked back at my friend and said, "Oh my god… I love this one." It's both strange and satisfying to feel like the happiest sad person (or the saddest happy person) in the world when you listen to The Smiths and Morrissey's music. There's nothing quite like songs full of heart-wrenching lyrics to make you want to dance (and cry). The band closed with "Still Ill", which the crowd truly loved. Earlier in the show, vocalist AJ Navarrete announced that it was drummer Jose Garcia's last show, and despite the sadness of the end of an era, he played with the same amount of energy and gusto as if they were performing in an arena with thousands of people.
It was an awesome show from start to finish. If you love The Smiths or Morrissey (or both) haven't seen Ordinary Boys, I highly recommend checking them out. Their next show is on Saturday, June 27th at 10pm at Railroad Blues. If you haven't been to Gramps, it's a really cool place that has a packed weekly schedule of alternative events such as trivia nights and karaoke nights, so go on! Have a great weekend. You deserve it.

The Paramounts are a stylish wedding and party band, formed by three of London's most up-and-coming musicians, able to cover everything from chilled-out lounge music to high energy, dance-floor filling classics.
Individually band members have toured with Supergrass and The Kin, supported acts including The Coral and Taylor Hawkins and jammed with Dave Grohl and The Foo Fighters. In the process, they've toured extensively throughout Europe, America and the UK. They've also appeared on radio shows for XFM and BBC6 Music and several local stations.
Now working as one of Function Central's exclusive roster of wedding and party bands, the Paramounts have performed more than 300 live shows in the last 2 years: highlights include performing a live set in LA for Kiefer Sutherland and supporting Bill Bailey at a charity event.
The band take pride in their authentic live sound – no backing tracks or recorded parts here. Two of the band are trained sound engineers, and it shows! If you book them for your event you can expect attention to detail, a friendly approach and an energetic performance.
The band offer an optional DJ service before between and after sets (using the latest Numark iDJ mixer to mix tracks between two iPods), for a fraction of the cost of hiring a separate DJ. For the fullest possible sound the band can be augmented with a second guitar to form a rocking 4-piece, or keyboards - or both.
The Paramounts also play as a duo called The Buskers for smaller events. Featuring energetic cajon and acoustic guitar, the duo is perfect if you're looking for a big sound on a small budget!
Due to high demand, please expect an increase on the advertised guide fees for all Fridays and Saturdays.

What people say
Top band that really made our wedding, couldn't be a nicer bunch of fellas. My wife and I will always remember you telling us you would play our first dance live despite us not remembering to ask. The dance floor was only empty once you left! Book them now!
We had you at our wedding on Saturday 9th July at Colchester. We wanted to let you know that us and our guests thought you were fantastic!!
The band had a great repertoire which suited our taste and was ideal for our wedding. They were flexible about setting up times and and when they played. They created a good atmosphere and filled the gaps between sets with appropriate music.
We would like to thank you guys for playing at our wedding last night at Hampton Manor. You we absolutely amazing and made our wedding one we will never forget. We would highly recommend you to our friends and family.
VERY satisfied! The band were professional from start to finish! They played all of the song choices requested, kept the momentum going throughout their performance and sounded great! Please pass on our thanks to the band members and we hope they enjoyed the day as much as we did. Thanks again Function Central!!
The band were exactly as we had hoped, arrived in plenty of time to set up and got on with this from support from the venue without any need to disturb us. We have already received great feedback from a number of friends and family about the quality of the performance and are so pleased at how all turned out. Thank you!
Exceptionally satisfied. They were incredibly professional, and thoroughly nice guys too. They even let our cousins play a few songs with their equipment!
We were delighted with The Paramounts and would book them again in an instant. They learnt our first dance perfectly and didn't just attempt to replicate the original but put their own style into it which made it even more memorable. They are fantastic musicians with a lot of energy and talent. From the first dance to the encore, the dance floor was packed. The band played a great varied setlist with something for everyone and even took a few requests. We've had so many comments about how great they were.
Very satisfied. The band were very accommodating and professional, setting up their kit discreetly. They have a great song list spanning many eras and performed them perfectly.
We wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for such a great night on Saturday 10th May. We have had so many great comments about you from our guests. The music makes the night and you, your music and your talent made it the best night! X Penny & Richard.
Thanks for not letting anyone leave the dancefloor at our wedding, amazing music! We loved every minute, just a shame it had to end!!!
We were more satisfied than ever expected. Cannot fault a thing! We had an acoustic set which was a great start to the night as guests arrived and ate. Then live sets and DJ-ing all by the band. The dance floor was full all night and I have had comments ever since from guests raving about the band and even enquiring to book! We Cannot thank you guys enough! The music makes the night and you, your music and your talent made it the best night! X
We were delighted with the band. They arrived without issue and set up and sound-checked very discreetly. The guys were very personable and set up their mic for use for the speeches. Their sets were perfect for our guests (a mix of old and young). They had people dancing in an age range of 12-90. Fantastic. We loved them and no one wanted the night to end!
The Paramounts were great. They set up while we ate and you wouldn't have known they were there. Their performance was excellent and so many people commented on how good they were. They had a really varied selection of music that was all good to dance to!
The band were amazing. They where polite, professional arrived on time, set-up as planned and played well into the night. All our guest said how good the band was and all asked how we found them. Our first dance song was played perfectly and we both could not be happier with the group. Even the band members where dancing with our guests in between sets! The DJ service was good and complimented the bands performance. Overall they are a great act and a credit to the function central. Would defo book this band for any future functions we have!
The Paramounts were very professional as well as friendly, everyone commented how good they were and they really got the room up dancing!! Would definitely recommend to others!
Massive thanks to you guys for making our Wedding night and getting everyone on their feet!
To the Paramounts: just wanted to send you a note to say how amazing you were - you completed our night! We spent hours looking at different wedding bands on the internet and when we came across The Paramounts we knew we had to book you. We listened to your samples on the website and knew from your song repertoire that not only did you sound great but you would appeal to all ages. You were very accommodating throughout the whole process. You agreed to do an early set up and you even learn't our first dance song. Our wedding was housed in a tipi and I was a little concerned that a band would be overpowering but you sounded brilliant! We cannot thank you enough. We had so many good comments and feedback from friends and family who loved your set. Thank you so much, Sarah and Callum.
These guys totally made the day. They were happy to accommodate the ever changing locations we made them play in and they made a bunch of annoying musicians in the audience really welcome. Had nothing but good feedback from all the guests. Cheers for a great evening!!
FANTASTIC BAND!! The Paramounts were the perfect choice for our big day. The guys were really relaxed and professional, helping us to select our first dance and choosing the music for the evening. They had everyone on the dance floor all night and we have had so many comments from friends and family about how brilliant the band were! Thanks to the band for making our big day so perfect!!
We were extremely satisfied with the band. Our speeches and dinner went on longer then planned but they were perfectly happy waiting for us to finish, they were polite, friendly and above all they were absolutely amazing performers. They have a fantastic repertoire and got everyone up dancing. They clearly enjoyed playing every track and even did solo's at the end showing off their talents on the guitar and drums, which was amazing!
We can't thank these guys enough, they were absolutely amazing!!! A great bunch of lads, friendly, professional and most of all they could really bang out the tunes! From the moment they started playing right through to the end of the evening they kept the dance-floor packed. Everybody commented on how amazing they were and its a fact that our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as successful without them. Thanks again so much lads!!!
We were more than extremely satisfied. They arrived and set up very discreetly. We could not have been more happy with our first dance which they did an amazing version of. The songs they played meant a full dance floor throughout the night. The mash up of Steve Wonder's Superstition was amazing. It meant that our perfect day really was perfect.
The guys were simply phenomenal - I heard nothing but compliments for them all day long. They played in the ceremony (a beautiful acoustic version of She by Elvis Costello as my wife walked down the aisle), the drinks receptions (amazing collection of songs from Mr Blue Sky to a selection of Foo Fighters songs again all acoustic) and then the evening dancing as well (full band set up culminating in a Grease/Johnny Be Goode mash up that proved to be a highlight of the whole day!).
I cannot praise the chaps highly enough and urge anyone reading this to book them now.
We had high expectations of The Paramounts already having seen them perform and loved them at a friends wedding two years ago but they totally blew this performance out of the water at our wedding and exceeded our expectations hugely! we have had nothing but compliments for them since then from friends and family old and young and their performance of jungle book particularly made my night! fantastic versions of great songs with their own special twist, BRILLIANT!
Thank you so much guys, we will not stop recommending you to people!
Very best of wishes.
The band really worked hard to get people dancing, played fantastic tracks and were very professional. They allowed Jon's brother and sisters to use the sound equipment to perform a couple of live songs first which was really important to our day. We had lots of people ask for their contact details, they really impressed our guests and had everyone from Abbie's 80 year Gran to 3 year cousin Doris dancing!
We couldn't be more happy with The Paramounts. The guys set up and sound-checked quietly and discreetly. They were incredibly flexible and happy for us to do our first dance once we were ready. They then played our first dance song absolutely perfectly and just as we had requested. The rest of the set was absolutely seamless and they read the crowd perfectly. Everyone of all ages was up and dancing the whole night. It was such fun! Thank you!
Myself and my husband booked the Paramounts for our Wedding blessing on the 4th November 2012, they were fantastic and got people up dancing from the moment they started. We loved the variety of music they played and our guests commented on them throughout the night. The evening would not have been the same without them and we would recommend them for any event they will make your night.
The band were outstanding, we had a look around at a number of bands before going for the Paramounts and from listening to the demos we had pretty high expectations but on they day they surpassed even those! Their performance was full of energy and everyone had a great time. I couldn't fault a thing.
The Paramounts are AMAZING! From the moment we heard them on their demo, we knew they were the one and they didn't disappoint!
Professional, note perfect, talented, flexible, pure raw talent. Everyone was raving about them, and we couldn't have been happier. Thanks guys, you made our day!
We hired these guys for our wedding a few months ago and they were just perfect. Both of us are musicians and we really couldn't fault them at all! The lead guitarist had so much feel in his playing and the whole package was totally worth the money. I had some details to arrange with the band before the wedding and they were very accommodating which helped us to relax and just focus on enjoying our special day. One thing I have to congratulate them on is getting my mother
on the dance floor! This is something I haven't seen in a long time! To sum up, book these guys with confidence, you wont be disappointed!
What a night... We couldn't have asked for anything more! We requested a first dance and the guys did an amazing job and kept everyone entertained for the rest of the night. I especially loved their version of Stevie Wonder - Superstition. Aside from the live performance all the members are extremely polite and were great company throughout the evening. We recommend them very highly! Thanks again guys, we'll spread the word!
Just emailing to say a big thank you for making our wedding so special. My and my husband loved every minute of it! I found it really hard to choose a band for the wedding but I'm glad I chose you guys. I was so skeptical about booking a band as I know with today's technology you can make anyone sound good. This definitely wasn't the case. I loved the bands demos but the live versions were just a whole new level of amazing. I'm still getting some of the guests from the wedding telling me how amazing they thought you were. I'll be sure to pass on your details. For those thinking of booking the band please don't hesitate as they really are worth it!!

References Cited UNlTED STATES PATENTS 452,643 Heitmann 2-22/209 6 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures M VIII/filly m. a w/ VACUUM FLA SK PROVIDED WITH A PUMPING DEVICE BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vacuum flask for keeping liquids hot or cold for a long period of time and more particularly to a vacuum flask including a bellow element for pumping up the liquid contained therein into a drinking cup.
A vacuum flask or bottle is well known, and widely used in the home, on a picnic, at school, etc. The principle of the vacuum bottle is that the bottle has double walls with the space between said walls being evacuated so as to provide walls which are nonconductors of heat. Normally, the double walls are made of glass, although metal is sometimes utilized. However, it is known that glass walls are more efficient. The disadvantage of using glass walls is that they are brittle, and thus tend to break, and therefore, it is required to handle the bottle with special care. Nevertheless, it is well known that many bottles are broken by the slip of the hand. Such accidents generally occur when a minor, a woman or an old person handles a bottle which is full or a liquid.
The present invention is directed to solving the disadvantages and inconveniences of known vacuum flasks pointed out above. and has for its object to provide a vacuum flask capable of pouring the liquid contained into a drinking cup without tilting the flask by hand but rather by simply operating a lever thereon while it stands upright on a table.
According to the present invention, a vacuum flask includes a bellows element for pumping up the liquid contained in the flask into a drinking cup, the bellows element being housed inside the lid and operable from the outside of the flask. A plug is removably fitted at the junction of the double walls through which a bore is provided for passing the pressurized air from the be]- lows onto the liquid surface, and a tube is disposed in the plug for permitting the liquid to rise up to the outlet.
In a further embodiment of the vacuum flask according to the present invention, the plug is made diametrically smaller than the opening of the double-walled vessel so as to produce a gap therebetween which is airtightly covered by a flange portion of the plug, thereby preventing the liquid contained in the vessel from overflowing out of the outlet due to the increased internal pressure produced when the plug is fitted in the filled vessel.
Advantageously, according to the present invention, the bellows element is removably arranged inside the lid, independent of the plug and the double-walled vessel, thereby making it possible to remove the bellows for cleaning or repairing purposes. Since the bellows element is solely disposed in the lid, the plug can be also handled separately from the bellows when a fresh liquid is introduced into the flask.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention and wherein,
FIG. 1 is a transverse cross-section showing the main portion of the vacuum flask according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a transverse cross-section showing the main portion illustrated in FIG. 1 when the lid is closed; and
FIG. 3 is a transverse cross-section showing the main portion of a vacuum flask including a further embodiment of plug.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, an inner double-walled glass vessel 1 is housed in an outer casing 2, for example, by means of a cork pad (not shown), and the space between the walls is evacuated. Advantageously, the glass walls are silvered so as to reduce radiation to a minimum. A plug 3 is fitted in the opening of the vessel 1, with projections 4 on the trunk thereof, thereby producing gaps S therebetween. The projections 4 are made of rubber or similar liquid-tight material. The plug 3 has a tube 5 embedded therein for allowing the liquid contained in the vessel 1 to rise up the tube. The tube inside the vessel terminates at a point adjacent to the bottom of the vessel. The top portion of the tube communicates with an outlet 7, from which the liquid contained in the vessel is introduced into a drinking cup (not shown). The tube 5 is eccentrically positioned in the plug 3, such that the path 6 up to the outlet 7 is shortened as much as possible.
On the top surface of the plug 3, there is provided an aperture 8 which communicates with the inside of the vessel 1 through further apertures 9 provided within the plug. The aperture 8 enables pressurized air supplied from bellows 10 to be exerted on the liquid surface in the vessel 1.
The bellows 10 are removably fixed inside a lid 13, which is pivotally supported on the casing 2 by means of a pivot'll. The bellows element 10 has a ring 28 fixed at one open end, and a metal element 40 at the other open end, said metal element being provided with an aperture 26. The metal element 40 has a mouthpiece 27 capped thereon, with a check valve 15 interposed in a free state therebetween. The check valve 15 has the shape of an inverted T-letter having a leg 15a which is projected so as to ensure its engagement with the lower member of the internal framework 17. Preferably, it is arranged that the mouthpiece 27 is screwed on the metal element 40 for ensuring its removal therefrom. Beneath the ringed open end of the bellows element, there is provided a coverage element 29 screwed into the ring-shaped threaded flange 30, whereby the ringed edge 10a is held against the ring-shaped inner wall 41. Thus, when the coverage element 29 is removed, the bellows are likewise ready for removal. The coverage element 29 is provided with an aperture 16, around which a ring 22 of elastic material, such as rubber, is fitted. By virtue of the liquid-tight property of the ring 22, pressurized air is prevented from leaking from the apertures 8 and 16 when they are in engaging alignment.
The mouthpiece 27 has an opening 14 communicating to the inside of the bellows, and in the space between the mouthpiece 27 and the metal element 40, the check valve 15 is freely confined with the leg 15a thereof being placed in abutment with the lower member of the framework 17, such that the opening 14 is maintained in the open position for taking in air. However, when the bellows are contracted to pressurize air as described below, the leg a of the check valve is freed from its abutment with the framework 17, thereby enabling the check valve to close the opening 14 under the backpressure in the bellows. Thus, the pressurized air is introduced into the inside of the vessel 1 through the apertures 8 and 16, thereby exerting pressure on the liquid surface which forces the liquid out of the outlet 7 via the tube 5. I
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the operation of the bellows 10 is carried out by swinging a bar 18 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1, thereby enabling a pusher 20 to work on the bellows through an intermediate bar 19. When the operation of the bellows is stopped by returning the bar 18 to its starting position, the bellows spontaneously resumes its normal bulky condition by virtue of its own flexibility. At this stage, the internal pressure is relatively low enough so that outside air is readily introduced into the bellows through the opening 14.
As described above, the coverage element 29 is provided with a ring 22 of liquid-tight or elastic material, such as rubber, and therefore, when the apertures 8 and 16 communicate with each other, the possible leakage of pressurized air is avoided. In the embodiment illustrated, ring-shaped projections 21 are additionally produced around the aperture 8 so as to ensure a liquid-tight connection between the apertures 8 and 16.
In addition, the gap S is optionally produced between the plug 3 and the inner glass wall of the vessel so that with the aid of the projections 4 and 25, an increment of internal air pressure is permitted to deviate into the gaps S so as to avoid an unexpected overflowing of the liquid out of the outlet 7 when the plug 3 is fitted in the filled vessel 1. I
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, no projection is provided on the trunk 23 of the plug 3. In either case, the opening of the vessel 1 is air-tightly covered by a ring-shaped flange 24 formed in the middle of the trunk of the plug 3, thereby preventing the heat confined in the vessel from escaping to the outside thereof.
When the bellows are made of rubber, they especially tend to become stained and insanitary due to thermal effects. Accordingly, it is necessary to clean the inside of the bellows from time to time. According to the present invention, the bellows are ready for removal simply by unfastening the coverage element 29. The frequent cleaning of the bellows is helpful for holding the deterioration of the bellows element to mininum.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A vacuum flask comprising an internal doublewalled vessel provided with a lid, a bellows element removably and completely housed in said lid, said bellows element having first and second converging open ends, a plug removably disposed in the opening of said double-walled vessel, said plug being provided with an aperture communicating with the inside of said doublewalled vessel and said bellows element when the lid is in the closed position, a tube embedded in said plug for allowing a liquid contained in said vessel to be pumped therefrom, said tube communicating to an outlet tube, a check valve floatingly confined in said first converging open end of said bellows element, said check valve being adapted to close up said first coverging open end of the bellows element under the backpressure produced by said bellows element, said second converging open end of said bellows element and said aperture in said plug being in aligment when the lid is closed over said double-walled vessel.
2. The vacuum flask as claimed in claim I, wherein the plug contains a trunk, said trunk being provided with a plurality of projections thereon so as to produce a gap between said trunk and the inside wall surface of said double-walled vesesl, and a ring-shaped flange disposed above said projections so as to cover up said gap.
3. The vacuum flask as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bellows element is supported by a covering means in screw engagement with said lid, said covering means having an aperture taking the place of said second converging open end of the bellows element.
4. The vacuum flask as claimed in claim 1, wherein the check valve has the shape of an inverted T-letter, having its leg portion projecting outside from said first converging open end of the bellows element.
5. A vacuum flask as claimed in claim 3, wherein the aperture in the plug is surrounded by ring-shaped projections, and the aperture provided in said second converging open end of the bellows element is produced of elastic material, thereby enabling said projections to be embedded in said elastic element when the lid is applied over the internal double-walled vessel.
6. A vacuum flask as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tube is located in the rim portion of the plug facing the outlet, thereby shortening the distance from said tube to said outlet.

Ashford & Simpson Send It
Ashford & Simpson's 1977 classic soul album Send It is extremely rare.
This photo is from the back of the vinyl album cover.
"Don't Cost You Nothin'," and the underground hit "Bourgie Bourgie" lit up the dance floor back in the day.
Nick and Val are truly a unique act. As solid as a rock, they managed to served up 35 R&B single releases through 1997.
As songwriters, it doesn't get any better than Ashford & Simpson, who have written these time tested hits:
- "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" – Diana Ross
- "Let's Go Get Stoned" – Ray Charles
- "California Soul" – 5th Dimension
Catch Ashford & Simpson as the special guests of headliner Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Sunday, July 29, 2007, at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Beat-Master Bo Diddley
Bo Diddley's publicist says the singer is hospitalized and in "guarded" condition after suffering a stroke.
He's in intensive care and his condition is listed as guarded.
Diddley is a 78 year old pop music icon of enormous influence, who continues to perform and thrill fans. His last performance was this past Sunday, May 13, in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
His songs have been covered and recorded by the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Manfred Mann, the Kinks, the Yardbirds, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Doors, Tom Rush, and Bob Seger, (among many others).
Diddley's custom-made rectangular guitar, and his playing style, complete with distorted amplification, became a trademark by the mid 1950's.
He was born in McComb, Mississippi, on December 30, 1928. Ellas McDaniel, also known as Bo, received his nickname from his early years as a boxer. He played the blues clubs of Chicago, Illinois, in the 1940's and 1950's.
Diddley's early legendary recordings were made for the Chess label. His collection of hits include "Who Do You Love," "Hey! Bo Diddley," "Pretty Thing," and "Hush Your Mouth."
Bo played on several Chuck Berry classics including "Memphis, Tennessee," and "Sweet Little Rock N' Roller." Diddley's 1959 "Say Man" was a rap styled dialogue 20 years ahead of its time.
In 1962, he performed for President John F. Kennedy at a private set at the White House. He toured Great Britain in the 1960's and 1970's, performing on shows with the Everly Brothers, the Rolling Stones, and the Clash.
Diddley continued his presence through the 1980's, with a film appearance in Eddie Murphy's Trading Places (1983).
Bo's music was featured in films including La Bamba (1987), and Dirty Dancing, (1987). Diddley was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
He performed for President George Bush at the Inaugural Gala in 1989. Diddley rocked at 1992's Democratic National Convention celebration for Bill Clinton.
In February of 1996, Bo Diddley received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Foundation, an acknowledgment, for among other accomplishments, pioneering the famous "Bo Diddley beat."

Felton Pilate's Con Funk Shun Energy
Con Funk Shun - (left to right), Ron Moton, Eric "EQ" Young, Michael Cooper, Karl Fuller, Felton Pilate, Brian Collier, Kurt "KC" Clayton.
High school friends Michael Cooper, Louis "Tony" McCall, Karl Fuller, Paul "Maceo" Harrell, Dennis Johnson, Cedric Martin, and Danny "Sweet Man" Thomas formed the original Con Funk Shun in Vallejo, California.
Felton Pilate would join the group soon after.
Con Funk Shun worked with the Stax label in the early 1970's as the backup band for the Soul Children.
Mercury Records signed Con Funk Shun in 1976. "Ffun," their first hit, was written by Michael Cooper. Cooper and Pilate would eventually share the lead vocal work on most of the Con Funk Shun hits.
I've always admired the style, sound, and precision of this group. They definitely are a crowd pleaser.
Con Funk Shun Entree:
- "Ffun"
- "Got to be Enough"
- "Love's Train"
- "Indian Summer Love" (instrumental)
Felton Pilate's official website has an array of classic soul treats for Con Funk Shun fans everywhere.

Are The Whispers Unappreciated?
Belinda R.-T. submitted this comment:
"Let's see, we have the Grammy Awards, The American Music Awards, The Essence Awards, The NAACP Image Awards and more importantly...The Soul Train Awards."
"So why hasn't someone given the "Whispers" their due? Why hasn't an award show honored the Whispers? They are criminally under appreciated. If there is any way to get this to Don Cornelius, he needs to do this ASAP!"
"And for that matter, the whole of the Solar Records roster (Lakeside, Shalamar, O'Bryan, The Sylvers and so on) should be at least recognized."
OK Belinda. It goes without saying that you are a big Whispers fan, and so am I. Check out my September 2006 post about the Whispers.

James Brown Inspires New Classic Soul
James Brown was born on May 3, 1933. Today, he would have been 74.
4 days after he passed away in 2006, I wrote an article for tbd.com called 7 Sensational James Brown Jams.
His influence continues in the work reflected by new artists.
British soul guy James Hunter, who I've recently seen perform live, borrows liberally from James Brown's vocal trademarks.
On a new CD, Kaboom!, just released by The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker, the 10 tracks sound like a time warp featuring the best of James Brown inspired rhythm hooks and classic soul grunts.
The legacy of the Godfather of Soul lives on.

Are Some Banks Too Large To Fail? Myth And Reality
At the time of the Continental Illinois National Bank insolvency, bank regulators considered some commercial banks "too large to fail" (TLTF) and were reluctant both to legally fail such banks and to impose pro rata losses on any of the uninsured creditors of these insolvent banks and their parent holding companies. This policy was introduced due to widespread fears that large bank failures would set off a domino effect bringing down other banks and possibly even the macroeconomy as it did during the 1930s. Also, because these banks are considered special in that they provide money and credit to their communities, many feared that their failure could reduce greatly the availability of these services.

What is JapanesePod101?
JapanesePod101 is a language learning podcast series founded by in 2005 Peter Galante. It's main form of teaching is through their podcast; however over time more content has been added. They've also started to add video lessons into the mix. This new content ranges from stripped down versions of the lessons that only include dialogue, pdfs of the lesson, and lesson exercises. It is a very popular Japanese language learning tool with a large database of media separated into seasons.
The podcasts are separated into seasons and also based on the learner level. Ranging from no knowledge up till advanced learners. The podcasts also include native speakers, so when you find a certain person whose voice you enjoy, you can try to follow them within different levels and seasons.
They offer a free trial as well as a free account to allow you to get a feel for how they work.
How does it work?
In a nutshell, lessons are hosted within podcasts(video or audio), and include a dialogue. Typically a regular speed dialogue is followed by a slower dialogue, then after that a breakdown. Lessons typically range from 10-20 minutes. At a premium subscription level you have access to a dialogue only version of the audio.
There are also PDFs of the lessons included that go over what was in the podcast. Depending on the level they will include the native writing ie hiragana, kanji, katakana.
Some of the higher level lessons include less breakdown and are moreso just conversations with the teacher explaining concepts of culture to you in Japanese.
JapanesePod101 is a subscription based service due to the fact that they are constantly adding new content. There are four levels of subscription they offer.
They are:
- Free – $0/mo
- Basic – $8/mo*
- Premium – $25/mo*
- Premium+ – $47/mo*
*Discounts offered for longer subscription times @ 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.
Free is mainly for trial purposes as most lessons are locked for a free subscriber.

Get info about Norwich University golf schedule, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are constantly looking for the best players to fill next year's open positions, and rely on many different methods to finding the right recruits. If you haven't been noticed, cold-calling coaching staff can get you an initial interview. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Norwich University Golf information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Norwich University.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Nebraska Wesleyan University tournament may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for Norwich University golf schedule, you may think about Northwestern State University final exam schedule 2017 for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

If you're planning to travel to France, then this guide is for you. Read on if you want to find out about some of the hottest spots in this part of the world that you wouldn't want to miss.
France is a very beautiful place; in fact, it is deemed as one of the most wonderful places in all the world. No wonder it is always included in tour packages whenever you decide to take a trip around the world.
When you find yourself booking a tour in this part of the world, you should never miss the chance on going to Provence. This is located in southern France and is one of the most visited place in the country. If you are a lover of art and know Vincent Van Gogh, then you will particularly love this place. Did you know that some of Van Gogh's most famous paintings were created here? Provence is truly a magical place and it can inspire anyone who visits there.
Travel to France and you will experience the same feeling that have made an impact to artists such as Vincent Van Gogh. Although the urban areas have shopping malls and museums, travelling to the rural places of the country is what makes the trip worthwhile and unforgettable. Go to places like St-Rémy-de-Provence and you will see wonderful architectures that will take your breath away and amaze you. And if you go to small towns like Roussillion you will see vineyards and other views that will leave a lasting mark and impression in your memory.
Other places to visit are Camargue, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Arles. You will find not only good-natured locals here but you will also enjoy the remains of old French mansions that have been around for many centuries. There are perfectly structured churches, bridges and other buildings that you will definitely find impressive and remarkable.
So what are you waiting for? Book a travel to France and take pleasure in a unique experience that you will treasure all your life. And don't forget to bring your camera too as you will want to keep all the memories not only in your heart but in your mind too.

So, in case you were wondering, it is not effective parenting to forget that the child is in timeout.
Neither is it especially effective to place him in timeout near the bathroom, or specifically near the temptation of the toilet paper roll.
This is what happens.
He doesn't look especially pensive, reflective, repentent, or thoughtful regarding his offensive actions.
And I suppose it is also not effective to take pictures before calling a halt to the toilet paper party, only then explaining that this is not acceptable (but now well documented).
But I had to.

Looks like he is getting some pre-high school TPing practice! Elizabeth recently did this to her room using the roll of garbage bags for the diaper pail! Gathering 50+ bags is not my idea of fun.

That is awesome. Sometimes "time out" teaches the child a lesson. Sometimes it teaches Mom a lesson!

Dear RHP 6 Performing Providers,
Friendly reminder we have an ACES webinar today at noon. We will continue our work on sustainability action plans and focus on program evaluation. Please register if you have not already done so.
I also wanted to offer some commentary/guidance on what to do with the information coming from HHSC regarding combining projects and revising cat 3 baselines. Please read below and as always, call me to discuss your individual situations. I'm happy to help you navigate these waters! My apologies in advance for the length and density of this email.
Combining Projects
As you know, there are some complexities involved in DSRIP! So in hopeful preparation for five more years, HHSC is beginning to implement some strategies aimed at administrative simplification. For example, three of our community mental health centers cover more than one region, which means they get updates and "to-do's" not just from me but from up to three other anchors. They commonly have similar projects serving different counties across these multiple regions which means they have to do April and October reporting in duplicate (triplicate? quadruplicate?) for what may operationally be one project but in terms of DSRIP exists as three or four unique projects. HHSC has released guidance and a template for combining projects, and this opportunity is available to all providers if some criteria are met. Even if you meet the criteria, you DO NOT have to combine projects. This is OPTIONAL.
Review your project list and determine:
- Do you have multiple projects in the SAME project option? If no, you are not eligible to combine projects.
- If you were to add two or more of these projects together (DY5 Cat 1 or 2 value only), do they add up to less than $5 million? If no, you are not eligible to combine projects.
If yes to both questions above, your projects may be eligible for combining. But you should also consider:
- Do they have similar Cat 3 outcome measures and QPIs that can easily be merged/added?
- Are the projects similar in nature, are they managed by the same project manager, and/or target similar populations?
If NO, these are not deal-breakers but you need to seriously consider whether or not combining projects would actually simplify things for you.
Based on my review, the following providers might consider combining:
- UHS 2.10 and CMA 2.1 (project IDs)
- SAMHD multiple projects within project options 2.6 and 2.7
- UTHSCSA 1.7, 1.8, 1.23 (project IDs)
- HCMHDD – multiple projects with project option 2.13
- HCMHDD, Camino Real, BB Trails projects across regions
For more information, view the companion document and template for combining projects. The companion document outlines the criteria, requirements and timeline for requesting to combine projects. Please note the deadline for template submissions to HHSC is February 1, 2016 at 5:00pm.
Cat 3 Baselines
I thought HHSC was sending a summary file to ALL providers with current baseline/performance info, but it looks like HHSC sent confirmation of the recently reported baselines from October reporting to those specific providers. I received the aggregated file yesterday that shows HHSC needs to provide technical assistance to UTHSCSA (ID 3.101), Nix (3.102), Dimmit (3.1), and Camino Real (3.200). Two outcomes were changed from QISMIC to IOS methodology due to high performance (UTHSCSA 3.103 and 3.22). The other baselines reported in October seem to be ok as submitted.
With that said, just because HHSC doesn't request TA and/or thinks your baselines are fine doesn't mean they are. Many providers have experienced that sinking feeling when they realized their reported baselines were not conducted per specifications, or were calculated based on incomplete data sets or the wrong measurement period. How confident are YOU in your reported baselines?
Please review ALL of your Cat 3 outcome baselines using the Cat 3 Summary Goal Calculator and ask yourself the following questions.
The "Goal Calculator" file enables providers to confirm current selection and reporting information and determine new goals and achievement levels if corrections are anticipated. All providers can review their Category 3 milestone structure, approved subsets, reported baseline, goals, measurement periods, and performance if reported. The summary will also indicate if an outcome is eligible to make corrections during performance reporting, or if outcomes need to make corrections during an interim correction period.
Have you reported baseline data? Is it consistent with what HHSC shows on record in the Goal Calculator file?
- Do you understand the reporting specifications for that measure and did you report consistently with those specifications?
- Did you use the correct measurement period for your baseline as approved by HHSC, and is the DY4 performance measurement period you reported (or plan to report) directly adjacent to the baseline measurement period?
If you need to correct your baseline data, there are three ways to do this, but all three methods are NOT available to each project/outcome.
a. Correct baselines using the Interim baseline correction template. The template is for P4P outcomes that have already reported performance and are not under review by MSLC, as well as outcomes with a custom goal (maintenance, HHSC approved alternate achievement request, P4P changed to P4R due to small volume) that are not under review by MSLC. The interim correction template should be completed for each eligible outcome needing a correction and emailed to the waiver mailbox (email@example.com) by Sunday, February 14th, 2016 in order to be reviewed and finalized prior to the April DY5 reporting period. If you are unsure if this option applies to you, open the template and select your project ID from the dropdown list. If the subsequent fields "open up" then you can take this route. If it doesn't, see options b and c below.
b. Correct baselines though Myers & Stauffer. If your cat 3 outcome measure is under review/validation by M&S, please work with your M&S contact to correct your baseline.
c. Correct baselines during April reporting. If this applies to you, use the Goal calculator to determine your DY4 and DY5 targets as they may change along with your new baseline.
As a reminder, for most cat 3 measures: half of your DY4 Cat 3 incentive is tied to achievement of your target and ALL of your DY 5 Cat 3 incentive is tied to achievement. Partial achievement/payment is allowed.
I hope this was helpful. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your individual situations.
