A 26-year-old Chinese engineer turned entrepreneur who is in Boston developing a start-up played one of the more interesting and dangerous roles in the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt. He was driving the Mercedes SUV that he'd leased when it and he were carjacked by the Tsarnaev brothers. He escaped when they stopped for gas. Ever since, this man has kept a very low profile, but he did give an exclusive two-and-a-half-hour interview to Boston Globe reporter Eric Moskowitz, who joins us now. Welcome.
ERIC MOSKOWITZ: Thank you, Robert.
SIEGEL: And first, in your story, you called this man simply Danny. I gather he doesn't want his name to be known.
MOSKOWITZ: That's correct.
SIEGEL: Well, first, the carjacking, how does Danny describe it?
MOSKOWITZ: Danny had gone out for kind of a joyride, blow off some steam at the end of his workday, gets a text. And this tells you something about Danny. He pulls over to the side of the road to answer the text. And as he's answering the text message, an old sedan - I mean, what you might consider like a beater of a car - pulls in very abruptly behind him. And then a guy in dark clothes gets out, comes up to the passenger window and raps on it. And that's Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother.
SIEGEL: Is he armed, Tamerlan?
MOSKOWITZ: He is armed. Danny doesn't know that first. So Tamerlan is speaking to the window, Danny lowers it to hear him. And when he does that, Tamerlan sticks his arms through the window, opens the door of Danny's Mercedes, climbs into the passenger seat and point a silver handgun at him.
He says, you know, don't be stupid. Have you followed the news about the marathon? And Danny says, yes. And he says, I did that, and I just killed a policeman in Cambridge. And he asked for Danny's money. It turns out Danny only has $45 of cash on him. Tamerlan tells him to drive.
And so now, Danny is in his own moving car with Tamerlan in the passenger seat and what turns out to be Tamerlan's younger brother following their car.
SIEGEL: And he actually gets a call on his cell phone while he's with them.
MOSKOWITZ: First, he gets a text. And so Danny has two roommates who are Chinese. One of them actually is someone he met on his first plane flight to the U.S., and that roommate texts Danny and says - in Chinese - where are you? Are you OK? And so, Tamerlan, the older brother takes the phone and is savvy enough to ask Danny, do you have an English-to-Chinese dictionary app? He says he does. He goes to the app. He types in, I'm sick, I'm sleeping with a friend. It spits back Chinese characters. Tamerlan swipes his finger, copies that, pastes it into the text message in response to Danny's roommate.
It is in Chinese, but it's not Danny's voice in Chinese. And so the roommate writes back thinking something is weird. This time there's no response. Then the roommate's boyfriend calls, they don't answer the phone. The phone rings again. And Tamerlan this time says, you're going to answer it? If you say a single word in Chinese, I will kill you right now. So Danny, in English, says I'm sick, sorry, I have to go. And Tamerlan says, good boy, good job.
SIEGEL: Now, when all three of them were in the Mercedes, did the brothers speak to each other in English or in Russian? Do we know?
MOSKOWITZ: They spoke to Danny in English. When they spoke to each other, it was in a language Danny didn't understand. And the one word he picks out in this language that is unfamiliar is Manhattan. Later, when they're driving around, they asked Danny if his car can be driven out of state. He says, what do you mean? And they say, like New York. That's the second clue that if they can get away, they're headed to New York.
SIEGEL: The car needs gas. Describe what happens.
MOSKOWITZ: Sure. They get to the Shell station on Memorial Drive in Cambridge where Danny finally seizes his chance to escape.
SIEGEL: He's no longer in the driver's seat of the Mercedes.
MOSKOWITZ: Correct. When they get to the gas station, the younger brother gets out of the backseat, goes to fill it up, and then a couple of seconds later he's rapping on the window. And the younger brother says, cash only. So Tamerlan peels off $50 and says, fill it up with V-Power, the high-test stuff. So the younger brother goes into the store, and that leaves Danny alone in the car with the older brother. And he notices at that moment that the gun is in the door cubby and that Tamerlan has both hands on the GPS and he's fiddling with the GPS.
So Danny's thinking about it, he opens his seatbelt, he opens the door. He managed to run at an angle between the car and the gas pumps, just praying that the other gas station across the way is open.
SIEGEL: At one point, he told you what he was thinking about, what his worst fear - one of his worst fears was throughout the...
MOSKOWITZ: Yeah. There was - this is a moment where he really thought they're about to kill him. And, you know, he said he was thinking about two things. One was that his start-up was literally just getting started and the other was that there was this girl in New York that he liked and he hadn't a chance to tell her yet.
You know, Danny, after being with the police for 15 hours after this happened, is finally sent, you know, dropped off back at his apartment. And they find out that night that the, you know, that the younger brother, Dzhokhar, has been found in a boat. And Danny's roommate calls out to him. And at that moment, Danny was on the phone in his room talking to the girl in New York.
SIEGEL: Well, it's an incredible story, and thank you very much for telling it to us.
MOSKOWITZ: Thank you.
SIEGEL: It's Boston Globe reporter Eric Moskowitz.

I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Coming up, the Supreme Court case that established abortion rights in this country is now 40 years old, but the political and cultural fights about abortion are going on still. We'll talk about this with our panel of women commentators. That's our Beauty Shop roundtable and that's in just a few minutes.
But first, we want to talk about another issue of great national concern. Even before President Obama delivered his inaugural address, he set forth a plan aimed at curbing gun violence in this country. He asked Vice President Joe Biden to move quickly to develop a set of proposals after that tragic shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, a day Mr. Obama called the single worst day of his presidency.
While a lot of the reaction to the president's proposals has focused on the weapons, the president also emphasized the importance of mental health. Here's a clip from President Obama's remarks.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We will make sure mental health professionals know their options for reporting threats of violence, even as we acknowledge that someone with a mental illness is far more likely to be a victim of violent crime than the perpetrator.
MARTIN: So we decided today to focus on some of the mental health proposals that the president is advancing. To do this we've called once again on Dr. Carl Bell. He is a psychiatrist. He's currently serving as acting director of the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois School of Public Health. He worked in community mental health for many years and has been involved in study and treating issues related to violence for many years.
Dr. Bell, welcome back. Thanks so much for joining us once again.
CARL BELL: Thank you.
MARTIN: Also joining us is Michael Fitzpatrick. He is the executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. That's a grassroots organization that aims to improve the lives of persons living with serious mental illness. He's also trained in social work.
Welcome to you also. Thank you so much for joining us as well.
MICHAEL FITZPATRICK: Thank you, Michel.
MARTIN: And Michael Fitzpatrick, I'm going to start with you because the first thing that occurred to me is - I was wondering about your reaction to the attention being paid to the role of mental illness in these shootings - not just the Newtown shootings, but there have been others related to that that have gotten a lot of attention, like the one in Aurora, Colorado. And I was wondering, you know, in a way is your group like any other mental - any other minority group, in the sense that, you know, on the one hand you're relieved of the attention. On the other hand, I could see where one might be very worried that the attention is actually not all positive.
FITZPATRICK: Well, I think, Michel, there's a pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness and mythology surrounding mental illness, and for some people a connection between violence - or some commentators use the word evil - so it is, for us, three steps forward as we talk about mental illness in the community - and organizations like mine have done that for years - but it's four steps backwards when these tragedies happen.
They do create a sense for America to have an opportunity to have a dialog about this very broken, long broken mental health system, and to have the White House involved in that dialog is a tremendous change.
MARTIN: Dr. Bell, how do you feel about this? I mean on the one hand a lot of the work that you have been most engaged with is not the kind that gets a lot of attention. I mean...
BELL: Right.
MARTIN: And so I'm wondering, how do you respond to the attention that this issue is now getting?
BELL: Well, you know, I'm concerned that it'll increasingly stigmatize mentally ill. I was glad the president said that the mental ill are more likely to be victims than perpetrators, because that's certainly true. But I get concerned about the stereotype and the notion that we can somehow identify who's mentally ill and who's going to be dangerous, because that's actually quite difficult to do.
MARTIN: What else are you concerned about, Dr. Bell? And then we're going to obviously wheel it around and ask what you're most interested in and what you think is most constructive.
BELL: Well, you know, I get concerned that this whole - it's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I'm of the notion that some of these mass murders have actually been suicides, but before the suicide the person perpetrated a mass murder. The issue with that is, is that those kinds of suicides are extraordinarily rare, as are suicides in general, despite being the leading cause of death - third leading cause of death in teenagers.
So I think it's difficult for a president to make a broad, sweeping policy change and hit the complexity of an issue like mental illness and violence and just violence in general.
MARTIN: Of what you've heard, Dr. Bell, what do you think is most constructive about the president's proposals?
BELL: Well, you know, the most constructive thing was his lift of the CDC ban because when the other group was in power, they were - put the kibosh on research on violence and gun violence in CDC, and the reason they did that, as I understand it, is that the NRA was pushing them because most of the research coming out was showing extraordinarily clearly and scientifically that having a gun in the home was several times more likely to be used in a suicide or many more times more likely to be in an inter-personal altercation resulting in a homicide, so they didn't like that kind of truth coming out.
So I can recall when Dr. Satcher was the 16th surgeon general and he could barely mention the word gun in any of his talks, because, you know, there's been a lot of push-back from the NRA on it.
MARTIN: Let me just clarify this. From the president's proposals, from the paperwork where he's announcing his proposals, the White House says for years the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC, and other scientific agencies have been barred by Congress from using funds to, quote, "advocate or promote gun control," unquote, and some members of Congress have claimed this prohibition also bans the CDC from conducting any research on the causes of gun violence. However, research on gun violence is not advocacy. It is critical public health research that gives all Americans information they need. And so that's the president, by executive orders, then ordering the CDC to then proceed with research...
BELL: Right.
MARTIN: ...that they consider to be helpful. And they also are saying that they should conduct research on the causes and prevention of gun violence, including links between video games, media images and violence. And so you feel...
BELL: Right.
MARTIN: ...that would be particularly constructive.
BELL: Well, but you know, they weren't advocating in the first place.
MARTIN: I understand.
BELL: They were doing science.
MARTIN: I understand. What the president is saying, he specifically wants that research to go forward.
BELL: Right. That's right.
MARTIN: Michael Fitzpatrick, what about you? What, of you have heard, do you feel is most constructive?
FITZPATRICK: I think the most constructive part is really three things. One is the need to have a year-long community dialog in communities across this country about the mental health system that's been long broken. I think these problems don't get solved in Washington, D.C. They don't get solved in state houses. They get solved in local communities, so to bring the whole community in to talk about the mental health system and how to fix that - revision, rethink. This is a tremendous opportunity. It's one of those things that happen, I think, once in a generation.
The other thing the president focused on was early intervention and early identification. Get in there early. We spend too much time in the mental health system in America looking at the back end, commitment laws, inpatient beds, jails and prisons. Let's talk about getting in there early, and particularly with transitional youth, that 16 to 25-year-old age group where they're transitioning from the children's system - such as it is - into the adult system. They get lost. They're not in school. They're not working. They're isolated. They can't access care.
MARTIN: What would that look like, Michael Fitzpatrick, when you're saying get in there early? What would that look like?
FITZPATRICK: Well, in the beginning, educate school personnel, create links between families, school personnel and the mental health system so they're all talking to each other. This doesn't happen too often. Families become isolated. Caregivers become isolated.
MARTIN: Dr. Bell, does the infrastructure even exist? Let's say people are identified as having a mental health issue and the parents are concerned about it. I'm thinking here of Russell Weston, who's the person who drove to the capital and shot a capital police officer and attempted to kill a number of other people before he was himself subdued, and in reporting on this story, you know, discovered that his parents had been concerned about his mental health state since he was 15 years old and had made, in my mind, heroic efforts to get help for him and had...
BELL: Right.
MARTIN: ...were very - had not succeeded. So does the infrastructure even exist to help people?
BELL: No. The system is broken, broken, broken. The new Freedom Commission report of Bush came out with that. More recently we've been looking at the system. It's been broken. I think what can happen, though, is that regardless of whether a child has a mental illness or not is that we can be more welcoming to children. You know the old saying of keep your friends close but your enemies closer? Not that the mental ill are enemies, but rather than stigmatize and shun people because they're a little bit different or a little bit quirky, we should be able to be diverse enough and tolerant enough to welcome people in so that we can keep an eye on them in a loving, close environment instead of castigating them and shunning them.
MARTIN: What would that look like?
BELL: So that's something that could happen.
MARTIN: But what would that look like?
BELL: That would be having all teachers and all principals and everybody in schools and other places being very clear about nurturing and helping children to transform, teaching children social, emotional skills, letting children know that they are, in fact, connected to a supportive, caring adult, letting children know that they are in a community and they are citizens of this community and they have an obligation to act like they've got some sense.
MARTIN: You mean emphasizing more of - I don't know what you call it...
BELL: Pro-social behavior.
MARTIN: A social curriculum?
BELL: Exactly.
MARTIN: You think that that should be as much a part of our educational experience.
BELL: And that families in crisis and in trouble should be supported and strengthened rather than having the child protective services Gestapo going in and snatching their kids, which at times is essential because those kids may be in physical from those families. But of our experience, in Illinois, at least, shows that if you can strengthen families, there's far less a need to take kids, and the kids actually come out better.
MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're talking about President Obama's plan to reduce gun violence. It includes provisions for increasing access to mental health care. Our guests are psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Bell. That's who was speaking just now. He's with the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois School of Public Health. He has a longstanding interest in issues related to violence. And, also with us, Michael Fitzpatrick of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. He's also trained as a social worker.
Dr. Bell, as we mentioned, you're in Chicago, a city that had more than 500 homicides last year alone, and I'm wondering about whether the president's plan deals with the mental health issues that one might think are implicated by that circumstance. I mean, people...
BELL: Well...
MARTIN: ...who've witnessed violence, people for whom violence has become routine.
BELL: Yeah.
MARTIN: Even the city itself, which - you know, experiencing this on such a regular basis.
BELL: Ten years ago, the homicides ran 950 and they ran about 950 before the preceding 10 years. So actually, the homicides are relatively lower. They're half as much as they were. One of the things that's in Obama's plan is this whole notion of psychological first aid, mental health first aid, whatever you want to call it. That is a situation where you actually learn basic skills around children that have been exposed to any type of violence, any type of trauma - whether it's hurricanes, terrorism, domestic violence, school shootings - and you help the child use their natural recovery skills to deal with that sort of trauma.
So that's - if that could become as ubiquitous as people knowing what to do if somebody's choking on a piece of food, I'd be very happy.
MARTIN: Michael Fitzpatrick, what about that?
FITZPATRICK: We're certainly very supportive of that. We routinely teach first aid for physical health injuries in this country and mental health first aid that was first tested in Australia is now being around the - in communities around the country. It needs to be something that school personnel, families and other key people in the community that come in contact with children and young adults who may be experiencing mental health problems and it would give them a step to not only identify what they're seeing, but also - what do you do now?
And the whole issue around these tragedies, if you go back and look at them, is the system of care is inaccessible. People don't understand...
BELL: Right.
FITZPATRICK: ...how to take that first step and so the notion of mental health first aid is a terrific one. Also, crisis intervention training for police officers.
BELL: CIT, right?
FITZPATRICK: Yeah. CIT training is absolutely something the president has talked about.
MARTIN: What about, Michael Fitzpatrick, the idea of barring persons with serious mental illness or a record of mental illness from having access to a weapon to begin with? That is something that is being discussed and it's something that, apparently, people on all sides of the political spectrum seem to have a fondness for. What about that idea?
FITZPATRICK: Right. You know, clearly, people who are seen to be dangerous should not have access to weapons. How you do that is the trick here. You don't want to set up a system where you're barring people who have a mental health history from having a hunting rifle, for example. If people - if we're going to refine the current list of people who are involuntarily committed and put on a national registry, there needs to be some look at - how long do you stay on the registry? How do you get off the registry?
The other thing - I think Carl brought this up from the beginning. Within the social work, psychology and psychiatry professions, there's not a whole lot of training on how do you identify someone...
BELL: Right.
FITZPATRICK: ...when they're dangerous? I mean, the state of the art is very limited on this. And so, it sounds like an easy fix. It's kind of a political fix on identifying people who are dangerous, but who's going to identify? How long do you stay on the list and are you going to act as a barrier from people taking that first step to get treatment because they're afraid they're going to put on some government list?
BELL: Right.
MARTIN: Before we let you go, Dr. Bell and Michael Fitzpatrick, if I could have a final thought from each of you. If we were to get together five years from now - you know, presumably and hopefully, it'll be sooner than that. What kind of conversation do you hope we'll be having? What kind of conversation do you think we'll be having, Dr. Bell?
BELL: Well, hopefully, since 20 percent of the American public has some sort of psychiatric problem, it would be kind of ignorant to prevent them from all protecting themselves if they felt that need. The other huge problem is we just have a hard time identifying people and so that's an issue.
And, plus, currently in psychiatry, there's already a Tarasoff decree, which says that, if you as a psychiatrist think somebody's harmful to someone else, you have a duty to report it. So that stuff is kind of already in there.
MARTIN: OK. Michael Fitzpatrick.
FITZPATRICK: And the system really gets swung, I think, Michel, towards early identification, early intervention, help and support for families to find the care when they need it and that there's a larger community dialogue. Mental illness is an illness like any other. It becomes normalized in the day-to-day conversation. People can find help when they need it.
MARTIN: Do you think that, five years from now, that will be the way - you think that it'll be that way five years from now?
FITZPATRICK: We have no choice. We have no choice.
BELL: I think so. Affordability Care Act should help push it forward.
MARTIN: So you think, five years from now, we'll be having a more...
BELL: Oh, yeah.
MARTIN: ...hopeful conversation than we are having now?
BELL: Absolutely. I've seen...
FITZPATRICK: If the Affordable Care Act works the way it's intended to...
BELL: Right. That's right.
FITZPATRICK: ...and integrates the systems, we get there, I think.
BELL: Yes.
MARTIN: All right. Well, we will see. Michael Fitzpatrick is the executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. That's a grassroots organization that seeks to improve the lives of people with serious mental illness. He joined us in our Washington, D.C. studios. Dr. Carl Bell is the acting director of the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois School of Public Health. He was kind enough to join us from the studios of member station WBEZ in Chicago.
Gentlemen, thank you both so much for speaking with us.
BELL: Thank you.
FITZPATRICK: Thank you.

After dealing with my brother's murder and finding myself virtually abandoned by most of my friends, I was devastated. The thing is though, most of them didn't do it because they were insensitive dicks. They did it because they didn't know what to do to help me. Rather than say the wrong thing, they said nothing. I get it. I do. Most days.
What I really want to do is help others help people who are experiencing devastating loss not feel as alone as I did. Whether someone has lost a child, had a loved one murdered, experienced a loss to suicide or simply lost their grandmother, they need you. Even if you aren't close, they need you. So be there. For them. Even if they are a virtual stranger. In the long run, strangers were some of the people that helped me the most.
Most of this pertains mainly to tragic loss, but it can help you help someone that is experiencing any type of loss.
How to Help Someone Dealing with Devastating Loss
They may need some space in the beginning.
When devastating loss first happens, it is impossible for the grieving to comprehend what is going on. They have no words and are often just blank inside, erased by what has happened. They may need some time to be able to speak with others. Let them know that you are there for them, but don't be offended if they don't return your call, even if you were very close before the tragedy.
Call. Call again. Then call again. Then call some more.
They may not want to talk in the beginning, but don't stop trying to reach out to them. And trying. And trying. Because by the time they are ready to speak to people and need someone to talk to, most people have stopped trying. And the grieving are most likely not going to call you when they need help. So keep calling and emailing and texting and trying. Because even if they don't pick up the phone, they feel better knowing you are there and that you care.
Understand that their loss is different.
This is one of the biggest things to realize when helping someone deal with devastating loss. No two people grieve the same and there is no greater demonstration of this than when dealing with the tragic loss of a loved one. There are a few things to note on this topic:
- Don't give advice. Unless you have walked a mile in the grieving's very specific shoes, advice can just make them feel that what they are doing is wrong.
- Don't compare their loss to your own. Comparing a natural death or one that happened later in life can alienate someone grieving tragic loss and make them feel even more alone.
- Avoid general condolences. "It was just their time", "God wanted another soldier", "Everything happens for a reason" and other general condolences can really hurt in the case of devastating loss. I found that, "There are no words" helped the most. Because there aren't.
Understandably, when someone experiences tragic loss, their friends and family are at a loss of what to say, so they say nothing. This can make the grieving feel that their loved one's life was not important. It also takes away a much-needed outlet for the grieving. It is better to say something than to say nothing at all.
If they bring it up, don't clam up.
When the grieving do bring up what happened, no matter how horrific it was, don't clam up or change the subject. There is nothing more painful than opening yourself up only to be shut down by the person you finally felt comfortable talking with.
Get their mind off it.
Though pretending nothing happened is not the way the go, sometimes going out and doing normal things can help the grieving cope. Things that are a bit out of their comfort level might even help because they have to concentrate on the task at hand and not their loss. So, take them ice skating, or enroll in a painting class. Just include them.
Ask how they are doing.
People are often afraid that if they ask a person grieving a devastating death how they are doing, they will trigger thoughts of their loss. Believe me, they don't need a trigger. They think about it every minute of every day at the beginning, every other minute of the day in the middle, and every third minute of the day after time has passed. All asking will do is show the person that you care. And don't just ask right after it happens. Ask next month, next year, next decade. Forever. They will love you for caring and remembering what they have been through/will always be going through.
Know that it takes a long time.
By the time the reality of what has happened sets in, most people think that the grieving should be "over it". Give the person time to grieve. Devastating loss is a lot to process. It can take months or years to even understand what happened enough to start grieving the person's loss, let alone if it was a violent or unexpected death. Remember that they will be very broken. Days, weeks, months, years from now.
And because it is important,
Text. Email. Call. Again. And again. And again.
Keep trying. And trying. And trying. Because knowing you are there for them will be the thing that helps them the most.
In memory of John. Wild and untamed. Forever. |

Orthodontic Exams
The planning stage is the most crucial phase in orthodontic treatment. During this phase, the orthodontist pinpoints a diagnosis and plans the most effective treatment. The planning phase includes conducting thorough examinations, taking x-rays and keeping meticulous dental and medical records.
Orthodontic treatment is highly predictable, successful and beneficial when planned appropriately. Not only does a straight smile look attractive, but it also helps stave off a wide range of dental and physical problems, which include:
Tooth Decay – Improper alignment can reduce the effectiveness of oral hygiene at home. Hard-to-reach places created by crooked teeth can become breeding grounds for harmful bacteria.
Gum Disease - Periodontal disease is a result of a bacterial infection within the gums. Poor oral hygiene resulting from misalignment can cause gum recession, jawbone deterioration and tooth loss.
Digestive Disorders – Misalignment commonly impairs chewing function. This leads to improperly chewed food working its way through the digestive system, contributing to digestive discomforts and disorders.
What Types of Orthodontic Exams Will Be Conducted?
The first visit to the orthodontist can involve different examinations to determine what treatments are required and how they will impact the teeth and jaws. It is highly beneficial for the orthodontist to create treatment plans with as much information as possible.
Here is an overview of the types of orthodontic examinations and records that the orthodontist uses to plan treatment:
Medical and Dental History Evaluation
Orthodontic treatments cannot begin until other existing medical and dental issues are resolved or are at least under control. Gum disease, for example, is often exacerbated by fixed braces and must be treated prior to orthodontic treatment. Dental health greatly impacts physical health and vice versa. Certain prescription medications can affect teeth and gums, so great care must be taken to evaluate the whole picture of medical and dental concerns.
Bite Impressions
Bite impressions or molds are invaluable tools in determining the exact nature of the malocclusion. Molds allow a closer look at how the upper and lower jaws fit together. Alginate, a soft material that hardens on the teeth, is poured into a horseshoe-shaped tray, producing an imprint. Plaster is then poured into the impressions, resulting in a model of the teeth.
Photographs of the Face and Mouth
The orthodontist takes regular photographs of the face and mouth. This shows how the treatment is progressing and impacting overall facial appearance. Facial photographs also allow for the measurement of facial proportions.
Computer-Generated Pictures of the Head and Neck
Computer-generated pictures of the head and neck allow the orthodontist to measure facial proportions and to determine ideal facial aesthetic. Facial appearance is an important consideration to make when planning treatment.
Panoramic X-rays of the Jaws and Teeth
Panoramic x-rays offer excellent insight into the general health of the teeth, gums and jawbone. X-rays show precise root structures of the teeth and inform the orthodontist as to how the upper and lower jaws fit together. X-rays of the temporomandibular jaw joint may also be taken, as necessary.
If you have any questions about orthodontic examinations or records, please ask your dental professional.

If you've seen stories in the past few days about Cleveland's Charles Ramsey supposedly being out of work, broke and homeless, then you'll want to read this update that has word from the man himself:
"Charles Ramsey, the man who helped to rescue Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight from captivity, says a news report by Britain's Daily Mail is 'full of lies,' " Cleveland's WKYC-TV writes.
The station adds that:
" 'It's bulls**t,' he said. 'That's the politically correct word for it.' He said he's made about $18,000 from his sudden fame. ... Ramsey insisted that he's not homeless. He said he moved out of his Seymour Avenue home because too many people were knocking on his door. In the meantime, he's staying with friends and family until he can find an apartment. He's hoping to start an online business, selling merchandise in his likeness. His website, CharlesRamseyLive.com, is currently under construction."
Meanwhile, as The Plain Dealer reports, the man who's accused of holding captive three young women (and a daughter born to one of them) for about a decade "pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning to a 977-count indictment." The charges against Ariel Castro include kidnapping, rape, child endangerment and aggravated murder (for torture that allegedly caused one of the women to suffer miscarriages).
Ramsey gained quick fame after the women were rescued on May 6. His animated descriptions of Amanda Berry's struggle to escape the house and his efforts to help her went viral.
Last week, as we reported, the young women released a thank you video.

What accounts for that? Is it all about Sarah? Picking her was "strong and decisive." Or was it something more general about the 2 conventions.
More on this new poll here.
Here's another interesting Gallup poll -- showing a big post-convention shift among independent voters, from 40% supporting McCain to 52%.
And this, for some reason, makes me want to add that Andrew Sullivan, who's only posted once today, says he's "absolutely fine," don't worry about him, "nothing has changed with this blog, no one is pressuring me to write or not write anything," and he's just taking some time off.
IN THE COMMENTS: Simon writes:
[Sullivan] is perhaps trying to get to grips with the reality that his weird idea about how picking Sarah Palin was a mistake has been rapidly and publicly falsified.He was so deeply committed to this prediction and intent on making it come true that it must have been mortifying to realize that attacks like his on Sarah Palin were making her far more popular than she would be now if she'd been treated with ordinary, boring respect.
AND: Sullivan has a couple more posts now, and Ace decodes them.

Manually Upgrading the Kernel
The Fedora kernel is custom-built by the Fedora kernel team to ensure its integrity and compatibility with supported hardware. Before a kernel is released, it must first pass a rigorous set of quality assurance tests.
Fedora kernels are packaged in the RPM format so that they are easy to upgrade and verify using the DNF or PackageKit package managers. PackageKit automatically queries the DNF repositories and informs you of packages with available updates, including kernel packages.
This chapter is therefore only useful for users who need to manually update a kernel package using the rpm command instead of dnf.
Use DNF to install kernels whenever possible
Whenever possible, use either the DNF or PackageKit package manager to install a new kernel because they always install a new kernel instead of replacing the current one, which could potentially leave your system unable to boot. |
For more information on installing kernel packages with DNF, see Updating Packages.
Overview of Kernel Packages
Fedora contains the following kernel packages:
kernel — Contains the kernel for single, multicore and multiprocessor systems.
kernel-debug — Contains a kernel with numerous debugging options enabled for kernel diagnosis, at the expense of reduced performance.
kernel-devel — Contains the kernel headers and makefiles sufficient to build modules against the kernel package.
kernel-debug-devel — Contains the development version of the kernel with numerous debugging options enabled for kernel diagnosis, at the expense of reduced performance.
kernel-headers — Includes the C header files that specify the interface between the Linux kernel and user-space libraries and programs. The header files define structures and constants that are needed for building most standard programs.
linux-firmware — Contains all of the firmware files that are required by various devices to operate.
perf — This package contains supporting scripts and documentation for the perf tool shipped in each kernel image subpackage.
kernel-abi-whitelists — Contains information pertaining to the Fedora kernel ABI, including a lists of kernel symbols that are needed by external Linux kernel modules and a dnf plug-in to aid enforcement.
kernel-tools — Contains tools for manipulating the Linux kernel and supporting documentation.
Preparing to Upgrade
Before upgrading the kernel, it is recommended that you take some precautionary steps.
First, ensure that working boot media exists for the system in case a problem occurs. If the boot loader is not configured properly to boot the new kernel, you can use this media to boot into Fedora.
USB media often comes in the form of flash devices sometimes called pen drives, thumb disks, or keys, or as an externally-connected hard disk device. Almost all media of this type is formatted as a VFAT
file system. You can create bootable USB media on media formatted as ext2
, ext3
, ext4
, or VFAT
You can transfer a distribution image file or a minimal boot media image file to USB media. Make sure that sufficient free space is available on the device. Around 4 GB is required for a distribution DVD image, around 700 MB for a distribution CD image, or around 10 MB for a minimal boot media image.
You must have a copy of the boot.iso
file from a Fedora installation DVD, or installation CD-ROM#1, and you need a USB storage device formatted with the VFAT
file system and around 16 MB of free space. The following procedure will not affect existing files on the USB storage device unless they have the same path names as the files that you copy onto it. To create USB boot media, perform the following commands as the root
Install the SYSLINUX bootloader on the USB storage device:
~]# syslinux /dev/sdX1
…where sdX is the device name.
Create mount points for
and the USB storage device:~]# mkdir /mnt/isoboot /mnt/diskboot
:~]# mount -o loop boot.iso /mnt/isoboot
Mount the USB storage device:
~]# mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/diskboot
Copy the ISOLINUX files from the
to the USB storage device:~]# cp /mnt/isoboot/isolinux/* /mnt/diskboot
Use the
file fromboot.iso
as thesyslinux.cfg
file for the USB device:~]# grep -v local /mnt/isoboot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg > /mnt/diskboot/syslinux.cfg
and the USB storage device:~]# umount /mnt/isoboot /mnt/diskboot
You should reboot the machine with the boot media and verify that you are able to boot with it before continuing.
Alternatively, on systems with a floppy drive, you can create a boot diskette by installing the mkbootdisk package and running the mkbootdisk command as root
. See man mkbootdisk man page after installing the package for usage information.
To determine which kernel packages are installed, execute the command dnf list installed "kernel-*" at a shell prompt. The output will comprise some or all of the following packages, depending on the system's architecture, and the version numbers might differ:
~]# dnf list installed "kernel-*" Last metadata expiration check performed 0:28:51 ago on Tue May 26 21:22:39 2015. Installed Packages kernel-core.x86_64 4.0.3-300.fc22 @System kernel-core.x86_64 4.0.4-300.fc22 @System kernel-core.x86_64 4.0.4-301.fc22 @System kernel-headers.x86_64 4.0.4-301.fc22 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 4.0.3-300.fc22 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 4.0.4-300.fc22 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 4.0.4-301.fc22 @System
From the output, determine which packages need to be downloaded for the kernel upgrade. For a single processor system, the only required package is the kernel package. See Overview of Kernel Packages for descriptions of the different packages.
Downloading the Upgraded Kernel
There are several ways to determine if an updated kernel is available for the system.
Via Fedora Update System — Download and install the kernel RPM packages. For more information, refer to http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/.
using check-update:
dnf check-update --enablerepo=updates-testing
To install the kernel manually, continue to Performing the Upgrade.
Performing the Upgrade
After retrieving all of the necessary packages, it is time to upgrade the existing kernel.
Keep the old kernel when performing the upgrade
It is strongly recommended that you keep the old kernel in case there are problems with the new kernel. |
At a shell prompt, change to the directory that contains the kernel RPM packages. Use -i
argument with the rpm command to keep the old kernel. Do not use the -U
option, since it overwrites the currently installed kernel, which creates boot loader problems. For example:
~]# rpm -ivh kernel-kernel_version.arch.rpm
The next step is to verify that the initial RAM disk image has been created. See Verifying the Initial RAM Disk Image for details.
Verifying the Initial RAM Disk Image
The job of the initial RAM disk image is to preload the block device modules, such as for IDE, SCSI or RAID, so that the root file system, on which those modules normally reside, can then be accessed and mounted. On Fedora 27 systems, whenever a new kernel is installed using either the DNF, PackageKit, or RPM package manager, the Dracut utility is always called by the installation scripts to create an initramfs (initial RAM disk image).
On all architectures other than IBM eServer System i (see Verifying the Initial RAM Disk Image and Kernel on IBM eServer System i), you can create an initramfs
by running the dracut command. However, you usually don't need to create an initramfs
manually: this step is automatically performed if the kernel and its associated packages are installed or upgraded from RPM packages distributed by The Fedora Project.
On architectures that use the GRUB 2 boot loader, you can verify that an initramfs
corresponding to your current kernel version exists and is specified correctly in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
configuration file by following this procedure:
, list the contents in the/boot/
directory and find the kernel (vmlinuz-kernel_version
) andinitramfs-kernel_version
with the latest (most recent) version number:Example 1. Ensuring that the kernel and initramfs versions match~]# ls /boot/ config-3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64 config-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 config-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 efi elf-memtest86+-5.01 extlinux grub2 initramfs-0-rescue-db90b4e3715b42daa871351439343ca4.img initramfs-3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64.img initramfs-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.img initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img initrd-plymouth.img lost+found memtest86+-5.01 System.map-3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64 System.map-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 System.map-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 vmlinuz-0-rescue-db90b4e3715b42daa871351439343ca4 vmlinuz-3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64 vmlinuz-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 vmlinuz-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64
we have three kernels installed (or, more correctly, three kernel files are present in the
directory), -
the latest kernel is
, and -
file matching our kernel version,initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img
, also exists.initrd files in the /boot/ directory are not the same as initramfs filesIn the
directory you might find severalinitrd-kernel_versionkdump.img
files. These are special files created by thekdump
mechanism for kernel debugging purposes, are not used to boot the system, and can safely be ignored. For more information onkdump
, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Kernel Crash Dump Guide.
(Optional) If your
file does not match the version of the latest kernel in/boot
, or, in certain other situations, you might need to generate aninitramfs
file with the Dracut utility. Simply invoking dracut asroot
without options causes it to generate aninitramfs
file in the/boot/
directory for the latest kernel present in that directory:~]# dracut
You must use the
option if you want dracut to overwrite an existinginitramfs
(for example, if yourinitramfs
has become corrupt). Otherwise dracut will refuse to overwrite the existinginitramfs
file:~]# dracut F: Will not override existing initramfs (/boot/initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img) without --force
You can create an initramfs in the current directory by calling dracut initramfs_name kernel_version, for example:
~]# dracut "initramfs-$(uname -r).img" $(uname -r)
If you need to specify specific kernel modules to be preloaded, add the names of those modules (minus any file name suffixes such as
) inside the parentheses of theadd_dracutmodules="module more_modules"
directive of the/etc/dracut.conf
configuration file. You can list the file contents of aninitramfs
image file created by dracut by using the lsinitrd initramfs_file command:~]# lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img Image: /boot/initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img: 18M ======================================================================== Version: dracut-038-31.git20141204.fc21 [output truncated]
See man dracut and man dracut.conf for more information on options and usage.
Examine the
configuration file to ensure that aninitramfs-kernel_version.img
file exists for the kernel version you are booting. For example:~]# grep initramfs /boot/grub2/grub.cfg initrd16 /initramfs-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64.img initrd16 /initramfs-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.img initrd16 /initramfs-3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64.img initrd16 /initramfs-0-rescue-db90b4e3715b42daa871351439343ca4.img
See Verifying the Boot Loader for more information on how to read and update the
On IBM eServer System i machines, the initial RAM disk and kernel files are combined into a single file, which is created with the addRamDisk command. This step is performed automatically if the kernel and its associated packages are installed or upgraded from the RPM packages distributed by The Fedora Project; thus, it does not need to be executed manually. To verify that it was created, run the following command as root
to make sure the /boot/vmlinitrd-kernel_version
file already exists:
ls -l /boot/
The kernel_version should match the version of the kernel just installed.
Verifying the Boot Loader
When you install a kernel using rpm, the kernel package creates an entry in the boot loader configuration file for that new kernel. However, rpm does not configure the new kernel to boot as the default kernel. You must do this manually when installing a new kernel with rpm.
It is always recommended to double-check the boot loader configuration file after installing a new kernel with rpm to ensure that the configuration is correct. Otherwise, the system might not be able to boot into Fedora properly. If this happens, boot the system with the boot media created earlier and re-configure the boot loader.
In the following table, find your system's architecture to determine the boot loader it uses, and then click on the "See" link to jump to the correct instructions for your system.

Configuring the GRUB 2 Boot Loader
Fedora 27 is distributed with GRUB 2, which reads its configuration from the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
file. This file is generated by the grub2-mkconfig utility based on Linux kernels located in the /boot
directory, template files located in /etc/grub.d/
, and custom settings in the /etc/default/grub
file and is automatically updated each time you install a new kernel from an RPM package. To update this configuration file manually, type the following at a shell prompt as root
Among various code snippets and directives, the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
configuration file contains one or more menuentry
blocks, each representing a single GRUB 2 boot menu entry. These blocks always start with the menuentry
keyword followed by a title, list of options, and opening curly bracket, and end with a closing curly bracket. Anything between the opening and closing bracket should be indented. For example, the following is a sample menuentry
block for Fedora 21 with Linux kernel 3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64:
menuentry 'Fedora (3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64) 21 (Twenty One)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64-advanced-effee860-8d55-4e4a-995e-b4c88f9ac9f0' { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint='hd0,msdos1' f19c92f4-9ead-4207-b46a-723b7a2c51c8 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root f19c92f4-9ead-4207-b46a-723b7a2c51c8 fi linux16 /vmlinuz-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 initrd16 /initramfs-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.img }
Each menuentry
block that represents an installed Linux kernel contains linux
and initrd
directives followed by the path to the kernel and the initramfs
image respectively. If a separate /boot
partition was created, the paths to the kernel and the initramfs
image are relative to /boot
. In the example above, the initrd16 /initramfs-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.img
line means that the initramfs
image is actually located at /boot/initramfs-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.img
when the root file system is mounted, and likewise for the kernel path.
The kernel version number as given on the linux /vmlinuz-kernel_version
line must match the version number of the initramfs
image given on the initrd /initramfs-kernel_version.img
line of each menuentry
block. For more information on how to verify the initial RAM disk image, refer to Verifying the Initial RAM Disk Image.
The initrd directive in grub.cfg refers to an initramfs image
In For information on using Dracut, refer to Verifying the Initial RAM Disk Image. |
After installing a new kernel with rpm, verify that /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
is correct and reboot the computer into the new kernel. Ensure your hardware is detected by watching the boot process output. If GRUB 2 presents an error and is unable to boot into the new kernel, it is often easiest to try to boot into an alternative or older kernel so that you can fix the problem. Alternatively, use the boot media you created earlier to boot the system.
Causing the GRUB 2 boot menu to display
If you set the |
Configuring the OS/400 Boot Loader
The /boot/vmlinitrd-kernel-version
file is installed when you upgrade the kernel. However, you must use the dd command to configure the system to boot the new kernel.
, issue the command cat /proc/iSeries/mf/side to determine the default side (either A, B, or C). -
, issue the following command, where kernel-version is the version of the new kernel and side is the side from the previous command:dd if=/boot/vmlinitrd-kernel-version of=/proc/iSeries/mf/side/vmlinux bs=8k
Begin testing the new kernel by rebooting the computer and watching the messages to ensure that the hardware is detected properly.
Configuring the YABOOT Boot Loader
IBM eServer System p uses YABOOT as its boot loader. YABOOT uses /etc/aboot.conf
as its configuration file. Confirm that the file contains an image
section with the same version as the kernel package just installed, and likewise for the initramfs
boot=/dev/sda1 init-message=Welcome to Fedora! Hit <TAB> for boot options partition=2 timeout=30 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot delay=10 nonvram image=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-17.EL label=old read-only initrd=/initramfs-2.6.32-17.EL.img append="root=LABEL=/" image=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19.EL label=linux read-only initrd=/initramfs-2.6.32-19.EL.img append="root=LABEL=/"
Notice that the default is not set to the new kernel. The kernel in the first image is booted by default. To change the default kernel to boot either move its image stanza so that it is the first one listed or add the directive default
and set it to the label
of the image stanza that contains the new kernel.
Begin testing the new kernel by rebooting the computer and watching the messages to ensure that the hardware is detected properly.

About Us
Long term local insurance agent. Affiliated with multiple companies to help save you money all while getting quality insurance products.
An Independent Advantage
We are Independent Agents, free to choose the best carrier for your insurance needs. We do not work for an insurance company; we work for you. We work on your side when you have a loss and follow through to see that you get fair, prompt payment and service. Trendstar Insurance Inc. represents a carefully selected group of financially strong, reputable insurance companies, therefore, we are able to offer you the best coverage at the most competitive price.
What is an Independent Insurance Agent?
When you decide to buy a car, you wouldn't purchase the first one you see. What if one day the automobile industry decided to make only one type of car, one make and one model. You wouldn't have a choice!
The same situation holds true for insurance. You need insurance to drive a car, to purchase a house, to protect your family's financial future and to run a small business. But if there was only one insurance company that offered only one type of insurance, car insurance, home insurance or businessowner policy — you wouldn't have a choice. The only solution would be going to that one company.
With an independent insurance agent, you have choices. Independent agents are not tied to any one insurance company. One of the advantages of using an independent agent is that he or she works to satisfy your needs. You are using an expert for an important financial decision.
An independent agent has several companies that he or she can approach to get you the best coverage at the best price. And your independent agent will know the companies with the most efficient claims departments to recover your losses as quickly as possible.
When you buy insurance, whether it's for your home, your car or your business, you want an advocate who will properly assess the risks you face and give you an objective analysis of the marketplace, it's up to you to make the final choice.

Kobe Bryant is in a court battle to try to keep his mother from auctioning off mementoes from his high school days in Pennsylvania and his early years with the Los Angeles Lakers.
A New Jersey auction house filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Camden on Thursday for the right to sell the stuff after the NBA star's lawyers wrote the firm telling it to cancel a planned June auction.
The disagreement is a high-value, high-profile version of a question many families face: Can Mom get rid of the stuff a grown child left at home?
In this case, the 900 mementoes happen to be worth upward of $1.5 million.
Among the first 100 or so items Pamela Bryant intends to sell: the NBA star's jerseys, practice gear and sweatsuits from Lower Merion High School; varsity letters; a trophy for being the outstanding player at the 1995 Adidas ABCD basketball camp; and a signed basketball from the 2000 NBA championship game.
And then there are rings, for the 1996 Pennsylvania high school championship, a pair that the Lakers made for Bryant's parents for the 2000 NBA championship and one from the 1998 NBA All-Star game.
According to court filings, Pamela Bryant struck a deal in January with Goldin Auctions in Berlin, N.J., which earlier this year sold a rare Honus Wagner baseball card for a record $2.1 million.
She got $450,000 up front, which she intended to use for a new home in Nevada.
In its court filings, Goldin says Pamela Bryant told the auction house that she asked her son five years ago what he wanted to do with the items that were in her home.
"Kobe Bryant indicated to Pamela Bryant that the items belonged to her and that he had no interest in them," the auction house's attorneys wrote. So she put them in a $1,500-per-month New Jersey storage unit.
The challenge came Tuesday when Goldin sent a news release announcing the auction. By day's end, Kobe Bryant's lawyer had sent a cease-and-desist letter telling the auction house to call off the sale and return the items to him.
Kenneth Goldin, owner of the auction house, says he can't cancel the auction because he's already advanced $450,000 to Bryant's mother and put money into advertising the auction.
Kobe Bryant's lawyer Mark Campbell said in a statement, "Mr. Bryant's personal property has ended up in the possession of someone who does not lawfully own it. We look forward to resolving this legal matter through the legal system."
Bryant has had a sometimes icy relationship with his mother and father, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, a former pro basketball player who is now coaching in Thailand.

"I'm pregnant…"
How will you react when your friend finds out she's pregnant?
An unplanned pregnancy can be scary. She needs to know she is not alone. She can get through this, and you will be there to help along the way.
Here's how you can help your friend, family member or girlfriend know she's not alone:
What to do:
- Talk with her and listen to her. Ask her how she's feeling and listen for ways you can help. Be there for her. Sometimes, the best way to help is to just be with her.
- Talk with the people who care for her. Offer to help her tell her parents, the child's father, or other family members who need to know she's pregnant. Listen for ways you can help her think through who to tell and when.
- Learn about where she can go for help during her unplanned pregnancy. She has options, and there are organizations near her who can help. You can find those on OptionLine.org and even help her make an appointment.
What not to do:
- Don't shame her. She may already feel guilty, embarrassed, or ashamed. Be a safe person for her. Stay positive and encouraging!
-Don't pressure her. You may know what you would do if you were in her shoes, but she is the one who needs to decide. She has choices to make, and she needs to know you'll be with her no matter what.
- Don't cut her off. Most women and girls in an unplanned pregnancy already feel alone. Make sure she knows you'll stay with her—and listening to her—no matter what.

Express® Mach4™ - Right Hand - Stainless Steel Propeller - EX-1515-4 - 4-Blade - 15" x 15 Pitch
The Prop that put the "four" in Perfourmance! Turning Point's Four Blade revolutionized the propeller market when it was introduced. No one had ever produced a propeller with two different blade shapes (they call it Dual Geometry) for 90-300+hp applications. This prop is uniquely engineered with two blade geometries: (diagram label 2)two blades utilize the Hustler high performance variable rake and aggressive pitch design for incredible hole shot and cornering, and (diagram label 1) two blades utilize an offshore style design for high speed and maximum stern lift.
These props re-wrote the rules, proving that you can run a four blade that has unprecedented hole shot, handling, and rough water stability without the top-end speed loss you experience with other manufacturers' propellers.
Now manufactured in our Industry leading TP17 stainless, the Express Mach4 series is perfect for any application that demands enhanced acceleration, cornering, and load carrying capabilities. This prop series is ideally suited for watersports, sterndrive boats, tri-toons, bay boats, and any vessel that can use stern lift. It is our best upgrade of older stainless designs from the 70's, 80's, 90's, and '00's, and will outrun most newer props, including five blade ski props.
Proprietary Stainless Steel, TP17™
Formulated to meet the exacting requirements of the New Express Mach3 and Mach4 designs. 20% higher chromium content than the competition - more shine, better corrosion resistance. Almost 250% Stronger and 5X more durable than run-of-the-mill stainless steel. This new material allows Turning Point's Engineers and Designers the freedom to produce radical new designs that will help you wring the most performance out of your boat.
Large Free Flowing Exhaust Ports
Turning Point's Propeller Housings have massive Exhaust flow pathways. Their Propellers have 40% more exhaust flow Area versus competitive product. More exhaust flow and less backpressure can generate more horsepower. Like headers for your boat.
Turning Point manufactures Express propellers to fit 9.9(bigfoot)-300+hp Evinrude®, Force®, Honda®, Johnson®, Mariner®, Mercruiser®, Mercury®, Nissan®, OMC®, Parsun®, Suzuki®, Tohatsu®, Volvo® Penta®, and Yamaha® Outboards and Sterndrives. Choose one of our Lifetime Warranty MasterGuard Installation Kits to fit your engine, then choose the propeller that matches your boating requirements. There are 3 and 4 blade, left and right rotation prop models with a variety of diameter and pitch options available for almost all boat types. Turning Point's Props Run Faster, Pull Harder, and Handle Better.
Note: A Hub Kit is required for installation of this propeller. See the Turning Point Selection Chart or the Prop Wizard™ for hub kit selection.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including LEAD which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Scottish Highlands & Islands we are unable to customise shipping prices in the basket at present.

*Particularly heavy rugs such as Montana and Plush will be subject to an additional £10 on top of these prices for highlands and islands due to their excessive weight and thickness.

When we need to move product from our suppliers' warehouse to our own this can take around 5 working days to reach you due to multiple shipping points
