The Modified is an open wheel racecar that uses the very latest in high performance racing equipment. This class was designed with one thing in mind…..SPEED ! With numerous possible chassis setups, and extremely close competition, it is important for the driver and crew to be knowledgeable about advanced racing.
A good understanding of mathematics and physics is very helpful and many drivers have several years of racing experience before moving up to this division. Modifieds can be found throughout the upper-Midwest and they provide some intense racing action.
Their sheer numbers mean drivers in this class need to keep their foot to the floor and take advantage of every opportunity, if they intend to make it to the checkered flag.

Named after economist Thorstein Veblen, who introduced the term "conspicuous consumption," a Veblen good is one whose demand increases as its price increases because consumers see it as an exclusive status symbol. Unlike most goods, which have a downward-sloping demand curve because demand goes down as price goes up, a Veblen good has an upward-sloping demand curve.
Veblen goods are high quality, coveted items. They are designer, luxury items with a strong brand identity, and they are not sold in regular stores. These goods are priced so high that only the very affluent can afford them; the higher their price, the less likely other consumers can afford them, and the more buyers perceive them to signal great wealth and success. If a Veblen's good price decreases, demand will decrease because status-conscious consumers will see it as less exclusive.

Cook 25 mins
When we lived in Hawaii, we went to brunch at the Hale Koa many times and they always served these wonderful muffins.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup sugar, plus
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 10 tablespoons soft butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 1⁄2 cups cake flour
- 1 pinch baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄3 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup water
- Cream sugar and butter. Mix in eggs, one at a time, cake flour, baking powder, salt and finely chopped macadamia nuts. Mix in water last. Pour batter into muffin pan and sprinkle with coarsely chopped nuts. Bake about 25 minutes at 350º.
Most Helpful
Definitely not the same consistency as the hale koa muffins. They are missing some sweetness too.
I thought the muffins were very dry and seemed to be missing vegetable oil or something. The texture was very odd.

I am new to GIS.
I am working on a mapping project for scuba diving sites, and I need to create 3d maps viewable by users on android tablets, iOS, websites, etc...
So far, I achieved the map result I expected using GoldenSoftware "Didger+surfer".
The problem now is to eport the 3d map in a format manageable by a vrml java viewer.
Is there a way to do this using QGIS?

Dr Arthur June Damman
Learn about removing the ads from this memorial...
May 10, 1870
Iowa, USA
Nov. 24, 1959
Washington, USA
FIRST VETERNARIAN OF KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON - Arthur was born in Algona, Iowa and moved west by ox team at the age of four months with his parents. The family brought two wagons across the country to Washington Territory. His mother drove one of the wagons all the way. They traveled with a wagon train until they reached Ogden and then his father led them to the Kittitas Valley by following the Columbia River and then coming up the Yakima. Arthur's first playmates were little Indian children who lived on the river bank and their mother worked for Arthur's mother, one of only 14 white women in the valley at that time. He was very happy when his sister and new playmate, Mamie, came along. At the age of five years, he attended a school that was situated on the corner of the Sharp farm. The teacher had to room and board with each family, one week per each student. At the age of 10 or 13, he learned to handle stock of all kinds, and with his half brother, Merritt Monroe Damman, who had come west after the family was settled, freighted farm produce, bacon and butter in return for groceries from The Dalles, Oregon. There were no advanced schools above the eighth grade in Ellensburg. The Presbyterian Academy, though not a high school, gave him the fundamentals for higher education. In 1901, he made up his mind to go to Washington State College at Pullman. He was married, so he arranged to have their belongings shipped by the Northern Pacific Railroad by boxcar, which contained five tons of hay, cow, turkey, chickens, cook stove, bedroom furniture, etc., plus the cat and dog. All arrived in Pullman in August where the couple rented a house (or shack) on the South Palouse River and prepared for the opening of school in September 1901. "The old cow was a lifesaver. She gave about five gallons of milk a day and I peddled milk on the campus at 5 cents a quart in an open stall-that paid our grocery bill. The hens furnished us eggs with a few to sell at 15 cents a dozen. The first winter was the worst. I took the veterinary course with only three in the class for the first semester: two more boys entered the second semester."
During the summer, Arthur helped the janitor cleaning the buildings, the pay was $1 for 12 hours work but it was a "buck for the nosebag." In June, 1905, he graduated with the degree of D.V.S. and came back to Ellensburg and hung out his shingle as a veterinarian. Practice was good but the pay low. Doc Damman vividly remembered the three year (1905-1907) fight which brought about the eventual stamping-out of tuberculosis in dairy cattle herds in Kittitas County. His territory extended from Easton to Pasco - and that was in horse-and-buggy days. Still practicing at the age of 79, he was a leading local advocate of a calfhood vaccination as a means of controlling Bang's disease in cattle.
Dr. Damman was a member of an early-day city Fire Department which was organized mainly for the purpose of embarrassing Yakima. "Yakima had a department back in 1893 which was supposed to beat everyone in drill contests," he said. "We organized for a July 4 contest and succeeded in beating the Yakimans in all events. (source: newspaper article)
In 'A History of Kittitas County', it is mentioned that Dr. Damman's local practice extended from Salmon la Sac to Prosser. Transportation was train, horse and buggy, and saddle horse. Arthur built the first animal hospital and his home on the southwest corner of 7th and Main Streets in 1908. In 1912 he moved his wife and daughter Ruth to Vancouver B.C., where he was associated with the Fraser Valley Milk Producers Association. In 1931 Dr. and Mrs. Damman returned to Washington, where he was vet in Enumclaw. After his wife passed away 4 October 1941, Arthur returned to Ellensburg where he practiced and became active in community affairs. He was appointed City and County Health Inspector, and was later appointed Kittitas County Sanitarian in 1945. Through the years he was very active in Masonic lodges, the Grange, and assisted in the formation of the Ladies Lounge. Arthur died 25 November 1959; his obituary notes that he was survived by his daughter, Ruth, two nieces, Mrs. Fannie Damman Cleveland of Pullman and Mrs. Wanda Wolff Walker of Rosemont, Penn; two nephews, Harold H. Damman of Seattle and nationally-known artist John Clymer of Bridgewater, Conn.
His funeral remembrance lists services at Evenson Funeral Home on November 27, 1959 with Ellensburg Lodge No. 39, F. & A. M. officiating. Pallbearers were J. R. DeVries, Erich Brattkus, Thomas Howard, Theo Evanson, Hiram Colburn, and Arthur Gregory. Concluding services were at I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Ellensburg.

2015 Annual Conference
Law, Religion, and Health in America
Join the conversation on Twitter! @PetrieFlom #lawreligionhealth
To request copies of selected papers, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Conference Description
Religion and medicine have historically gone hand in hand, but increasingly have come into conflict in the U.S. as health care has become both more secular and more heavily regulated. Law has a dual role here, simultaneously generating conflict between religion and health care, for example through new coverage mandates or legally permissible medical interventions that violate religious norms, while also acting as a tool for religious accommodation and protection of conscience.
This conference identified the various ways in which law intersects with religion and health care in the United States, examined the role of law in creating or mediating conflict between religion and health care, and explored potential legal solutions to allow religion and health care to simultaneously flourish in a culturally diverse nation.
Note: All keynote, plenary, and panel sessions included time for Q & A.
Thursday, May 7: Pre-conference session: After Hobby Lobby: What Is Caesar's What Is God's?
As prelude to "Law, Religion, and Health in America," the pre-conference session examined the role of religion in the American public sphere. Our expert panel discussed the nature of conscience and conscientious objection, religious freedom, and religious accommodation from philosophical, theological, historical, legal, and political perspectives.

Posted on 12/23/2006 5:18:42 AM PST by ThreePuttinDude
Up here, in the "Mile-Hi City", we just recovered from a Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
George Bush did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
No one even uttered an expletive on TV.
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny.
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snowbound families.
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.
We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."
It does seem that way, at least to me.
I hope this gets passed on.
Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living.
Add to that, I was up for 2 nights straight and had to cancel my ski vacation to the Rockies. I don't blame Bush either.
I blame Nagin and Blanco. Because it just feels good.
Refreshing. Thank you.
America the way I remember it.
Merry Christmas everyone.
The Freep, one of the most fun places on the net.
Thank you Freepers!!
We suffered through many horrible winters in Boston when I was growing up. Communities helped each other. I always have thought of that after Katrina. We didn't demand the government pay for our roof after '78. We didn't demand the government pay for our burst pipes many times over. There were times we couldn't afford oil for the furnace, and we had no "Saint Chavez & Angel Kennedy" to help us. What it taught me was that people need to help each other and themselves. It never occurred to us to demand the government bail us out.
Oh no Doug. It looks like FEMA isn't coming. What ever will we do?
I don't know Jan. It's worse than I thought. The sled got broken during the blizzard and from what I hear, Hickenlooperduper has cornered the market on sleds. If we are to resume sledding, I may have to fix mine if federal aid does not arrive quickly.
Maybe Santa will help!?!
Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Bill O'Reilly
This is short and succinct enough to be read on the air.
Consider yourself HIGHLY commended, sir!
...oh, and Merry Christmas.
I had to walk in knee to waist deep snow to get out of my house, to my car, to and around work...
I think the government should force UPS to deliver my Christmas present.
And, obviously this cold will result in higher than normal heating bills; time for some handouts for that.
Very excellent!! bttt
Might I add, no NBC reporters faking it for the camera. (reporting from a boat while people walked through the puddle behind her.)
Our local King Sooper's was wiped out of dairy products and almost all meat. There are babies crying right now! Where is FEMA and my 2 grand?
I noticed that at both Walmart & Safeway last night. No fresh produce, bread aisle in Walmart was nearly bare (what was left was in very poor shape).
I really needed bread to make sandwiches next week.
After watching what happened in New Orleans, I thought Santa and FEMA were the same entity!?!?
Yeah, you really need bread for Christmas!
Glad to see you folks are doing alright there.
After the blizzard in IL a few weeks back we had folks in Southern IL who were without power for over a week. There wasn't hide nor hair of Jesse Jackson, Geraldo, President Bush, nor was there a single FEMA trailer to be found.
That sucks. One thing we get very little of here in CO is freezing rain.
Bread looks good. Got butter?
Some people.....
One thing we get very little of here in CO is freezing rain.
I'd rather have 2 feet of snow than one inch of freezing rain. It's pretty amazing that so little ice can bring down those big long haul high tension power lines.
The power company down there says they've had to replace over 275 miles of the stuff. That's what took so long. None of their vendors keeps that much of it in stock.
They were working 3 shifts to get it replaced. Oh people were bitching, but nobody got too squirrelly. It is downstate IL after all. You can get away with looting in Chicago but south of I-80 you're far more likely to get your backside shot off than make off with a sixer of Heineken.
So by and large folks helped each other out. IEMA was there and we dispatched some of the State assets we're responsible for tracking but there wasn't any big call for FEMA to show up.
At the height of it there were something like 200,000 people affected in one way or another.
Well that's one more subject I can add to my Preparedness Training Seminars anyway.
Major and secondary streets are now passable - though narrower - and the cul-de-sac streets are "travel at your own risk", but something that would go a long way towards bringing this city back to life would be to lift the assinine salt ban. I mean, why torture yourself?
I'd rather have 2 feet of snow than one inch of freezing rain.
Agreed. I remember one winter in the mid nineties when there was a freezing rainstorm every week for about two months. We didnt loose too many power lines but the constant coating of ice took its toll. It took more than a year to resurface all the damaged roadways.
But then here in "Bawlmure, Murrland" we panic over any weather. A month ago they closed schools early on the forecast of heavy rain. A few weeks ago schools were closed and events cancelled because of fog.
Interestingly though, we have some reason to be fearful of Winter storms because while there are really big snows out West, historically most of the biggest, costliest and deadliest blizzards occur along the East Coast from the Mid-Atlantic up through New England probably so costly due to the concentrated population centers. These coastal storms are very unpredictable and often develop and flare up almost overnight.
I dont worry about storms coming at us from the West, rather in Winter, I look to the South for the low pressure to the Gulf for moisture and to Canada for the cold because when all those come together, you get a classic NorEaster; basically an extro-tropical Hurricane with snow. You just havent lived until you been through Thunder Snow!
The worst Ive lived through to date was '93. But 77,'78,83 and 03 were pretty bad too.
But while these blizzards were a major inconvenience for me, I cant imagine living without electricity for so long. The last time that sort of thing happened here was hurricane Isabell.
Anyone seeing this Bronco game on CBS... it is snowing in Denver. I think the forecasters missed this one.
They said possible flurries today.
Oh, I must have taken a vacation since Friday. I thought we had something coming through Friday, then nothing for awhile.
I just meant that maybe Santa could bring you a sled! ;o)
Merry Christmas!
First, Merry Christmas.
Is that your house? Just lovely. If so, did you take the time to dig out the decorations? My light covered trees and reindeer are still buried under snow. I was not about to try to dig them out, :-(.
But, I still have my lights along the top of the house.
Again, lovely.
So, I think UPS may have shot themselves in the foot over this mess. When the roads cleared, FedEx, DHL, and the postal service (government agency, wow) delivered through the weekend to make up for the two days during the week. UPSs response: we don't make guarantees during the holiday season or bad weather.
I have a package in Commerce City that will get to me tomorrow, :-(.
No, it isn't my house. It's a few blocks away, but we sure enjoy driving by it often.
Sorry you didn't get your package, but hey, now you still have something to look forward to!
Have an awesome day!
No worries on the package. But, knowing it is there, I figure UPS will have to do some damage control because FedEx & others will have positive press.
I took two days of vacation last week so I could run do last minute shopping, etc, and drive around to see all of the Christmas lights. I hope the roads improve enough and people keep their lights on this week. We will definitely try to make it out.
Are you ready for the storm moving in tomorrow? It has the forecasters excited.
Weather warning was in excess of 8 inches last night, moved to in excess of 12 inches today. They are still trying to figure out if it will break apart before hitting us.
I was out early this morning and finally saw plows clearing some of the side streets. It is a mess but I LOVE the snow!
Just how lucky can a state get?/ no MSM!!!!
Rocky Mountain New
WASHINGTON Western lawmakers are pushing to give emergency disaster relief to farmers and ranchers hammered by winter storms.
On the first day of the new congressional session on Thursday, Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Loveland, and Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Fort Morgan, introduced legislation that would give aid to livestock owners who suffered blizzard-related losses in Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
So much for smug self-righteousness
Are you kidding me with that reply? You are comparing someone losing their home, all of their valuables and memories, to you not being able to go on vacation in the mountains. Seriously, that's pretty ridiculous. I live in Denver, and lasted through this storm just fine. The storm is no comparison to Katrina...

This invention relates generally to medical x-ray processes and more particularly to a tape which is provided with graduation marks that are opaque to x-rays so that the tape can be used in the x-ray process to indicate the location of images on the x-ray film.
In many types of x-ray processes, it is necessary to provide on the x-ray film an indication of the location of the images that appear on the film. For example, it is common practice to inject dye into the bloodstream to locate arterial blockage. The dye is visible on the x-ray film and indicates the location of the blockage. Surgical or other techniques are then used to alleviate the blockage. In order to assure that incisions and other surgical procedures are carried out at the correct location, it is necessary for the location of the blockage on the x-ray film to be correlated with the body part in which the blockage occurs.
In the past, the common practice has been to place a ruler or other measuring stick with graduation marks that are opaque to x-rays against the body and then take the x-rays. The graduation marks are visible on the exposed x-ray film and indicate the location of the blockage or other problem.
One problem with this technique is that it is often inaccurate because the ruler or other measuring stick can move on the patient between the time of the x-rays and the time of the treatment. The ruler must also be sterilized prior to each use, and this takes the valuable time of hospital technicians or other personnel. The sterilization may be done improperly or incompletely, and this can create significant problems. At best, the use of a ruler is a problematical solution and at worst it is inaccurate and possibly even dangerous. The devices that have been used in the past are useful in only one place. Because accurate location usually requires views in two different planes, two different devices must be used if radiographs in two planes are required.
The present invention has, as its principal goal, the provision of a reliable and accurate means for indicating the location of x-ray images relative to the body part which is subjected to the x-ray process.
In accordance with the invention, tape having a T-shaped configuration includes a flat tape body with a layer of adhesive on one side and a rib projecting from the center of the other side. The adhesive layer is covered by a removable cover strip which can be removed to allow the tape to be adhesively attached to the body part that is to be x-rayed. The rib is provided with a graduated scale including graduation marks that are opaque to x-rays. The rib normally extends perpendicular to the main body of the tape strip. When x-rays are directed parallel to the tape strip, the graduation marks provide images on the x-ray film that correlate the location of the blockage or other x-ray image with the body part to which the tape is applied.
The rib can be flexed from its normal position until it lies along the tape strip. Adhesive areas on the rib are initially covered by cover patches which can be removed to permit the rib to be folded against the strip and held against it by the adhesive. Then, the graduation marks provide images on the x-ray film when the x-rays are directed perpendicular to the tape strip. In this manner, a single piece of tape can be used to provide a indication in two different dimensions of the location of the problem area relative to the tape on the exterior of the body part. Commonly, x-rays are projected in different directions, and this is greatly facilitated by the tape of the present invention. Consequently, use of the tape allows surgery and other types of treatment to be performed accurately and efficiently.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of the specification and are to be read in conjunction therewith and in which like reference numerals are used to indicate like parts in the various views:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a strip of tape constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, with one of the cover strips partially peeled away from the adhesive which is carried on one side of the tape strip;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view showing the strip of tape applied to the leg of a patient;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken generally along line 3--3 of FIG. 2 in the direction of the arrows and depicting an x-ray process in which x-rays are directed generally parallel to the main body of the tape strip; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 3, but depicting an x-ray process in which the x-rays are directed generally perpendicular to the main body of the tape strip, with the rib folded and secured against the strip.
Referring now to the drawings in more detail and initially to FIG. 1, numeral 10 generally designates a tape strip which is constructed in accordance with the present invention. The tape 10 has a T-shaped configuration and includes a flat main tape body 12 and a flat rib 14 which projects from one side of the tape body 12 and is normally perpendicular to it. The body 12 of the tape strip includes two flat flanges 16 which are located on opposite sides of the rib 14. The tape 10 may be constructed of any suitable material of the type commonly used for flexible tapes. The material of which the tape strip is constructed should be transparent to x-rays.
The surface of each flange 16 opposite the surface from which the rib 14 projects is provided with a layer of adhesive 18. The adhesive 18 may be of any suitable type that adheres to the tape body 12 and also to the human skin when applied to it. Each of the adhesive layers 18 is initially covered by a cover strip 20 which may be coated paper or any other suitable material. The adhesive layers 18 are thus sandwiched between flanges 16 and the cover strips 20. Each cover strip 20 is removable and can be peeled away from the adhesive layer 18 when the tape is to be used.
One and preferably both sides of the rib 14 bear a graduated scale which includes a plurality of spaced apart graduation marks 22. As shown in FIG. 1, the marks 22 are preferably located along each longitudinal edge of the rib 14, and some of the marks are longer than others, with the longer marks dividing the graduated scale into increments of five graduation marks 22. The scale may be in inches, centimeters or any other units.
Printed indicia 24 are provided o the graduated scale or scales. The initial one of the indicia 24 is aligned with the "zero" graduation marks and may take the form of the numeral 0. The next indicator is aligned with the tenth graduation marks 22 and may take the form of the Roman numeral I. The third indicator is aligned with the twentieth graduation marks 22 and may take the form of Roman numeral II. The fourth and final indicator 24 may take the form of Roman numeral III, and it is aligned with the thirtieth graduation marks. The graduation marks 22 and all of the indicia 24 are opaque to x-rays. The scale may include any number of marks 22 and any number of indicia 24 and the tape may be of any length and the marks identified accordingly.
If a graduated scale is provided on both sides of the rib 14, the graduation marks 22 on the opposite sides are aligned with one another. In addition, the indicia 24 on opposite sides of the rib are aligned with identical indicia on the opposite side of the rib. Instead of the marks described above, numerals or any other system of graduation may be used.
One and preferably both sides of the rib 14 are provided with a plurality of relatively small adhesive patches 26. The areas at which the adhesive 26 is applied to the rib 14 are spaced apart along the length of the rib. Each of the adhesive patches 26 is initially covered by a cover patch 28 which may be coated paper or some other suitable material that can be removed from the adhesive 26.
The tape strip 10 may initially form part of a roll of tape, or the tape may be packaged in any other convenient form. If packaged in a roll, the rib 14 lies flatly against one of the flanges 16 in the roll. When the tape is unwound from the roll, the rib 14 flexes toward its normal position which is the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 in which the rib is perpendicular to the tape body 12. The tape can be unwound from the roll and cut to the desired length.
In use, the tape 10 provides an indication of the location of arterial blockage or other medical problem areas. For example, when x-rays are to be taken of a human leg 30, the tape is applied to the leg before the x-rays are taken. The tape is applied by removing the cover strips 20 from the adhesive layers 18 and then pressing the adhesive side of the tape strip against the portion of the leg which is to be x-rayed. As shown in FIG. 2, the tape may be applied to the side of the leg, and the adhesive layers 18 adhesively secure the main body 12 against the leg in the area that is to be subjected to x-rays.
With particular reference to FIG. 3, an x-ray machine 32 located to the front of the leg 30 is oriented to direct x-rays toward film 34 positioned behind the leg. The x-rays are thus directed generally parallel to the plane of the main body 12 of the tape strip and perpendicular to the rib 14. When the x-ray film is developed, the graduation marks 22 are reproduced as images on the film and can be correlated on the film with the location of the problem area which may be a blockage in an artery 36 or damage to a bone 38. When the x-rays are directed parallel to the main body 12, the rib 14 is in its normal position extending generally perpendicular to the main body 12.
With reference now to FIG. 4, the x-ray machine 32 can subsequently be moved to the side of the leg and the film 34 can be moved to the opposite side. The cover patches 28 may be removed from the adhesive patches 26, and the rib 14 can be flexed from its normal position until it lies generally along one of the flanges 16 with the adhesive patches 26 pressed against the flange 16 in order to hold the rib 14 in this position. The x-rays are directed generally perpendicular to the main body 12 of the tape strip and thus perpendicular to the rib 14. Again, the graduation marks 22 provide images on the film 34 which indicate the location of any problem areas that show up as images on the x-ray film.
In this manner, the tape strip 10 can be used to indicate the location in two different dimensions of any arterial blockage or other problem internally of the leg 30. Because of the flexibility of the rib 14, it can be positioned in two different positions in order to accommodate the different directions at which the x-rays are oriented during the x-ray process.
The indicia 24 are opaque to x-rays, and the entire graduated scale, including all of the graduation marks 22 and all of the indicia 24, thus provide images on the exposed x-ray film. The indicia 24 are used to identify the graduation marks 22 so that mistakes are not made depending upon whether the tape is applied with either end up. Because the graduation marks 22 on the opposite sides of the rib 14 are aligned with one another, and because the indicia 24 appear the same regardless of which side the rib is viewed from, the tape can be used with the rib 14 folded down against either of the flanges 16 without creating inaccuracies or other problems.
The tape 10 remains in place during the surgical procedure or other technique that is used to alleviate the problem. For example, if the x-ray film indicates that there is a blockage in the area of the tenth graduation mark 22 (the mark adjacent to the I indicia), the surgeon can make an incision in alignment with this particular graduation mark because it is known that this will be the proper area to provide access to the problem area. The problem area can similarly be located when other medical techniques are used to alleviate the problem.
Although use of the tape 10 has been described in connection with application to a leg 30, it is to be understood that the tape ca be applied to other body parts that are to be subjected to x-rays and subsequent treatment.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all the ends and objects hereinabove set forth together with other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the structure.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
Since many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Vatican Press Office Director Father Federico Lombardi issued the following statement this morning concerning Pope Francis' recent telephone call to an Argentine woman who some press reports said was divorced and remarried. The reports alleged that the Pope told her she could receive Holy Communion.
Statement from the Director of the Holy See Press Office
Several telephone calls have taken place in the context of Pope Francis' personal pastoral relationships.
Since they do not in any way form part of the Pope's public activities, no information or comments are to be expected from the Holy See Press Office.

Pappy O'Daniel born in OhioMarch 11th, 1890
On this day in 1890, future Texas governor and U.S. senator W. Lee (Pappy) O'Daniel was born in Malta, Ohio. He came to Texas in 1925 as sales manager of the Burrus Mill and Elevator Company in Fort Worth, manufacturer of Light Crust Flour. He took over the company's radio advertising in 1928 and hired and named the Light Crust Doughboys, the influential western swing band that featured Bob Wills and Milton Brown. O'Daniel organized his own flour company in 1935 and filed for governor in 1938. Accompanied by his band, the Hillbilly Boys, he attracted huge audiences, especially in rural areas. He won the 1938 election and was reelected in 1940. In a special U.S. Senate election in 1941, he edged Lyndon Johnson in a flurry of controversial late returns. In a desperate reelection fight the next year, O'Daniel charged that the professional politicians, the politically controlled newspapers, and the "communistic labor leader racketeers" were conspiring against him, but he hung on to enough rural and elderly voters to eke out a win. O'Daniel was ineffective in the Senate, however, and by 1948, with public opinion polls giving him only 7 percent support, he announced that he would not run again since there was only slight hope of saving America from the communists. He bought a ranch near Fort Worth, invested in Dallas real estate, and founded an insurance company. He attempted comebacks in the Democratic gubernatorial primaries of 1956 and 1958, but failed to make the runoff on both occasions. O'Daniel died in Dallas in 1969.« Previous Next »

In thinking about this movie, I was reminded of George Eliot's novel, "Silas Marner", the bane of every high school student. In Eliot's novel, Marner, an embittered miser finds redemption when he raises Eppie, an orphaned girl, from childhood to young adulthood. Similarly, "Black Snake Moan" tells the story of a middle-aged black American man, Lazarus, portrayed by Samuel Jackson, who feels embittered when Rose, his wife of 12 years, leaves him for his best friend. Lazarus happens upon a young scantily dressed white woman, Rae, played by Christina Ricci, who has been beaten and left near-dead on a country road following a wild party. Lazarus takes her into his home and tries to teach and care for her. Ultimately, the movie suggests, both Lazarus and Rae receive a kind of hope, Rae by marrying her boyfriend, Lazarus by finding what may be a promising new relationship.
The story gets life through a great deal of tawdry sex. At the turning point of the movie, Lazarus chains Rae to a radiator to prevent her escape. Rae was a victim of sexual abuse and a neglectful mother, and in her boyfriend's temporary absence for military service, she throws herself at every man she can find. She appears in the movie scantily clad, in a cut-off blouse with a Confederate flag and in shorts. Lazarus has his own frustrations to work out from the loss of Rose, his wife.Read more ›
I didn't love "Hustle and Flow", writer - director Craig Brewer's last film, but I liked it. I just wasn't won over by the story of a pimp who wants to become a rapper. If there's anything we learned from the film its "Don't you know it's hard out there for a pimp".
So when I first heard about "Black Snake Moan", Brewer's follow-up, I was not excited. Then I started to really pay attention to the previews and the images. Okay, this is going to be one strange movie and sometimes strange movies are beautiful because they have a license to go places we don't expect. "Black Snake Moan" is all of these things; strange, beautiful and also contains great performances from Jackson (one of his best) and Ricci (certainly her best).
The first thing "Black Snake" does is set up the two main characters, establishing their lives, before they meet. This may sound like a given, but Brewer spends a significant amount of time showing the despair each person has in their lives, for different reasons, giving us a chance to get to know each of them.
Rae (Ricci) begs her boyfriend Ronnie, (Justin Timberlake) to not go to Basic Training.Read more ›
The film has a great atmosphere. It comes off as sticky and sweaty throughout and plays with that imagery as the characters develop. It consistently offers references to blues music and the characters are loud and full of life. It comes off as exploitative in some ways but that is ultimately done for a greater cause. Samuel L. Jackson is always good, even in really bad movies, but this is one of his best roles in many years. The real star here though is Christina Ricci who I've always felt is doing whatever she wants for now but one day she will be hailed as one of the best actresses around after a performance that hits the mainstream just right. Unfortunately for her though Black Snake Moan has not yet been a commercial success.Read more ›
