Man! I sure do hate to hear about good people being screwed over like that!
I wonder if his boss would have fired him if he was the one who had been shot?

judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
Then the victims family sues the complex for complacency and the individual for lack of action, some states have a "Must give aid" law that requires and individual to render assistance when ever possible and it is safe, N I would say a guy with a shotgun could and in this incidence did. His employer should count their blessings that they had such a guy, and really messed up big time letting him go.

Sad to say, but with Fla. being an "at will" state, he's probably out of luck. I hate this law. It provides the employer carte blanch when it comes to termination. They don't even have to provide a reason. This law may resurrect unions in this country (and I don't like those, either). Employees deserve protection from undeserved termination.
At Will:
In Florida, employees are presumed to be at will. At-will employees may be terminated for any reason, so long as its not illegal. Generally, employees who work under an employment contract can only be terminated for reasons specified in the contract. In Florida, it is very difficult to overcome the at-will presumption.
Employee Handbooks:
While an employer is not required by law to have an employee handbook, in most cases, it is recommended. An employee handbook provides a centralized, complete and certain record of the employers policies and procedures.An employee handbook also provides more convenient access by employees and managers.
Sadly the truth. Like said by another earlier poster, would the owners still have felt that way if the girl was their daughter and the young mans shotgun killed the intruder that broke in and shot her leg/tried to take advantage of her/ etc ?
The unfortunate answer is probably not. Hopefully someone will read the story and hire the guy.

The people in this complex should all band together and do something. One very easy thing to do would be to simply stop paying their rent, and start looking for a new place to live. By law, you cannot be evicted for non-payment of rent in most places for about 3 months. This is why it's very important, if you're a landlord, to find good and reliable tenants. Lots of poor people in my state (AZ) do this regularly, paying only the first month's rent and then moving 4 months later. If one renter in an apartment complex refuses to leave for 3 months, it's a pain. But if the entire complex does this, it probably means the management will go bankrupt because they won't have the funds to pay their creditors that long.
Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get people to act as a group and do anything productive which involves short-term inconvenience.
He should sue the place.
Liberal baloney, I say.
I'll bet anyone that the one that made the decision to fire the guy voted for Kerry in '04 and is voting Democrat in '08.

The aroma you're smelling is the coffee, time to wake up.
It's the lawyers.
Apparently the rationale they gave in dismissing Colin was that he didn't notify his bosses of the incident in a "timely manner". Sure. I'm sure his boss would want to be awakened at oh-dark-thirty by an adrenalined Colin telling him about a shooting after the PD and EMS have departed. My guess is that the boss would have been irked and said "it'll wait until morning."
Secondarily, it's not clear if Colin's apartment is part of his compensation (free or a good discount). If it's free, the company might claim a violation of a no-weapons policy by claiming the apt. is part of his working environment. That's B.S. but lawyers are paid to be creative.
In a similar vein, if you ever find yourself in a position of being stalked, threatened, harrassed or you take out a restraining order against one or more people, do not tell your employer. If you feel compelled to do so, consult an employee/employment lawyer first.
It seems that with a number of employee-related shootings, corporations are being sued when the tragedy occurs on their property. They're being sued for failing to provide security or if they knew about the employee's situation it's called "maintaining a hazardous situation". Apparently lawyers are now advising employers to fire anyone in such a circumstance rather than risk them being the "magnet" that draws violence to the workplace. Terriffic, huh? Woman's lawyer argues that she needs a TRO to protect her against an abusive husband during the divorce. She gets the TRO and notifies her employer to not allow hubby into the building because she has a TRO. Three hours later, H.R. calls her in and dismisses her to cover their butts. Never mind she has been an excellent employee for 9 years and has 2 or three kids to support and lawyer bills to pay.
With this kind of corporate attitude, it's very hard to be motivated to work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week because your boss says the deadline can't change.

Although Colin is in my eyes a hero, his company was not clear, and with good reason about his job performance. Colin may have been a dud in the work place??? I have had several employees that were great folks and could do wonderful things, but there were less than wonderful employees. In short the company may have just needed a reason to let him go. I am not standing in their defense, just raising a point. Just because a person is a hero doesn't make him a great employee or co-worker.
Just my .02
The guy helped the woman so +1 for him. But -1 for you who said that he should sue. Lawyers and a rediculous legal system is probably the reason that they had to fire him anyway. The boss man prob called someone and they saw him as a liability.
Getting more litigation involved will just perpetuate the problem. Didn't sound like this was his dream job. He'll be fine, I wish this sort of things supprised me but it doesn't anymore, sad isn't it.
I just posted my story in another thread (security officer) and I got the same treatment at my work. I was almost fired for exactly the same reason. At least until I explained my best friends father is the attorney that handles most of Omaha PD's excessive force lawsuits, and how I thought that "Jacobs Enforcement Services" would look better on the cars than the current logo...

" Our party stayed in a double room, but it was more like a twin bed brick. The room was small, the bathroom was tight and there was mildew on all of the caulking around the floor and sink area. Towels were free. The door to the corridor did not shut properly so therefore it really did not lock. If one plans on staying little in the room and actually seeing the sights, it is perfect. Just a place to clean up and lay your head or a while. "- Анонимный

Twenty five years ago today, December 17, 1977 was Elvis Costello's infamous debut on Saturday Night Live. He was a last minute replacement when the Sex Pistols cancelled out just a few days before the show.
They wanted punk rock, punk rock is what they got. At the start of his second song, Elvis stopped the band, and they ripped into a completely different song from rehearsal that no one at the show had heard or approved. This led to a quick panic in the control room, but he got to sing "Radio, Radio." Elvis apparently didn't submit the song for approval because he knew that the network would never him broadcast this diatribe against the corporate media giants such as themselves. As if The Man gave a rat's ass about the lyrics of some rock song.
The live performance has since been released on an official SNL album recently. At the time, it just got him banned from the show for a decade or so.
It was worth it, though. The pure visceral heady rush of getting away with something is remarkable. You really got to love this. It's a legendary moment.Powered by Sidelines

Pictures of Margate
in the county of Kent
About Margate
Margate's pier was always known as the Jetty, this was completed in 1815 but was destroyed by a storm in 1978. Today, this once important fishing port remains the central seaside resort for Londoner's. Its seafront is lined with magnificent Victorian houses, some now turned in to gracious hotels and apartments. There are lovely gardens to stroll around, and glorious golden sands to bask upon. For those who like bright lights and music there are amusement arcades and a vast funfair. A theme park offers a scenic railway, water chute, picnic garden and other leisure activities.
Included in the enormous selection of entertainment facilities is a theatre with first rate shows - Margate's Theatre Royal dates from 1787, this is the second oldest theatre in Great Britain and the oldest to remain in its original state. There is an interesting parish church dedicated to St.John, this stands on the site of a former chapel of ease built around 1050. The present church has a long and fascinating history, it shows many treasures including fine brasses and is well worth a visit.
A "must do" whilst in Margate is take a fishing trip or a boat trip out to sea, this is one of the best ways to fully appreciate the beauty of the Kentish coast.

A citrus twist on blueberry jam
July 29, 2014
Wanting to try something new this year? Why not make some Blueberry Lime jam. I was a little apprehensive to make this, but was told it was amazing. So we decided to make it for our first canning workshop at A to Z Supply.
Once completed, tasters first experience the blueberries and then get a burst of lime next. It has to be the combination of the rind and the juice. As everyone arrived, Lori and I already had the water bath canner going, the lids in bands in another pot simmering and everything else measured out for the project. It was right on with the amount of jars it would fill. We used 4 oz. canning jars for our workshop, so everyone could have one when they went home. We also went over altitude adjustments for our area. Being that the recipe called for 15 minutes of processing, we added the additional 5 minutes based on the altitude of the store at 2,500 foot elevation.
Recipe from the Ball Blue Book of Canning
4 1/2 cups blueberries
1 package powdered pectin
5 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon grated lime peel
1/3 cup lime juice
Crush blueberries one layer at a time. Combine crushed blueberries and powdered pectin in a large sauce pot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Stir in grated lime peel and lime juice. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Yields about 6 half-pints.
I hope you enjoy making this great recipe and have fun with it. It might also be a great addition to a blueberry tart or pie.

Murray made the last eight for the fifth straight year by beating the 16th-seeded Marin Cilic 7-5, 6-2, 6-3, while Mayer ousted Richard Gasquet of France 6-3, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2. American qualifier Brian Baker's remarkable run ended with a 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-3 loss to 27th-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany.
Rain had prevented five of the men's fourth-round matches from being completed on Monday. The weather continued to cause headaches as the start of play on outside courts was delayed for about 30 minutes because of light showers. When matches started, they were quickly halted again for another rain delay of about an hour.
''We stopped, obviously, a lot,'' Murray said. ''You're always a little bit edgy when you come out after a rain delay when you have the momentum with you. You stop, and then you come back out, and it feels a bit like you start from scratch again. I needed to serve well today and I got a lot of free points that helped me out.''
Play on Centre Court didn't even have time to start at all before the rain came. Organizers had closed the roof because of earlier showers in the morning but then decided to open it during a dry spell just before Ferrer's match against del Potro. When the showers resumed, they promptly had to close it again and keep the players waiting.
When the match began, Ferrer needed less than two hours to beat del Potro 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. Another rain delay then forced the suspension of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's match against Mardy Fish, with the fifth-seeded Frenchman leading 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4, 4-2. Tsonga went on to win the match 6-4 in the fourth set.
Murray's match was halted on Monday with the Briton leading 3-1, 40-0 in the second set. He had time to play one point on Court 1 - clinching that game - before rain started falling again. One game later, the match was suspended once more. After the second resumption, there was another slight break early in the third set as the players remained in their chairs for about five minutes under umbrellas as officials waited for a light shower to subside.
The Briton's victory never looked in doubt, though, and he served out the match to love when the Croat netted a backhand. Murray will next play Ferrer as he tries to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since 1936 - a task that looks easier after Rafael Nadal was knocked out in the second round last week.
The 126th-ranked Baker was trying to become the third American qualifier to reach the quarterfinals at the All England Club. He was playing in Wimbledon's main draw for the first time after being off the tour for more than five years because of a series of operations, one on his right elbow. He was ranked 458th at the start of 2012 but now will rise inside the top 100.
On Monday, top-ranked Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Mikhail Youzhny were the only men to complete their round of 16 matches.

This application is a continuation application of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/302,468, filed Dec. 12, 2005, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/904,121, filed Jul. 31, 1997, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,978,501, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/767,291, filed Dec. 16, 1996, now abandoned, which is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/382,150, filed Jan. 31, 1995, now abandoned; the prior applications are herewith incorporated by reference in their entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to bariatric beds and, more particularly, to bariatric beds of the type convertible to a reclining bariatric chair and having features for facilitating the comfort, care and support of the bariatric patient.
2. Background of the Invention
The care of morbidly obese patients, also known as bariatric patients, presents many extraordinary challenges which have not been adequately addressed in the past. Not the least of the challenges is basic physical handling of such patients. Even partially lifting a bariatric patient often requires three or four very strong nurses. Supporting their huge size and weight on a bed likewise requires the bed to have tremendous structural strength and stability. An eight hundred pound patient will not only render many of the controls of a typical hospital bed inoperative, but will literally crush components just by sitting on the bed. Structural instability, moreover, tends to increase with complexity. Consequently, although standard hospital bed frames like the Hill-Rom 835 frame can be full-featured, caregivers of bariatric patients have long had to rely on bariatric beds With very basic support structures and limited features.
Examples of known bariatric beds include the "Magnum" bed previously manufactured by Mediscus Products Ltd. of Wareham, England and the "Burke" bed manufactured by Burke, Inc. of Mission, Kans.
It is a fundamental object of the present inventions to improve over the prior art, including to provide a bariatric bed and related methods which facilitate the care, comfort and support of bariatric patients. A related object is to provide a bariatric bed with features comparable to those of a conventional hospital bed while also providing features uniquely adapted for the care, comfort and support of bariatric patients.
These and other objects are addressed, in part, by providing a full-featured bariatric bed. One basic aspect of the invention is to provide such a full-featured bariatric bed wherein the frame includes a raise-and-lower mechanism together with controls for tilting the patient surface lengthwise, hence providing Trendelenburg and/or reverse Trendelenburg capabilities. Structure is also provided for articulating the patient surface from a relatively horizontal, lying position to a seated position. The raise-and-lower mechanism may include two separately actuated Jacks of sturdy placement and construction, one for lifting the foot end of the bed's seat section and the other for lifting the head end of the bed's seat section. Such construction permits general raising or lowering of the entire patient surface by operating the jack motors synchronously in the same direction, and permits longitudinal tilting by operating the jack motors at different speeds or in opposite directions.
Another aspect of the present invention is the provision of opposite siderails that are both adjustable and retractable. The siderails are adjustable in the sense that they can be raised and locked in their operative position at a lateral distance (i.e., distance from the primary seat cushion) that is adjustable. They can be raised in a normal, inner position, or they can be adjusted to an extended position for particularly wide patients. They can even be adjusted further inward than their normal position without being removed from the bed, to a transport position for facilitating transport of the bed through standard hospital doorways. The siderails are retractable not only in the sense that they can be retracted to the transport position, but also in the sense that the can be easily lowered without removing them from the bed. To further enhance the user-friendliness of the bed, the invention also provides for the provision of identical bed controls built in to each of the opposite siderails. Thus all functions can be controlled from a convenient control panel. Such controls are integrated into the siderails without risking injury to the siderail data lines by directing those lines through a tunnel in the siderail mounting arms. Pendant controls may also be included for even greater ease of use.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is the provision of a bariatric bed including a balanced X-ray cassette holder for enabling use of a radioluscent head section thereof. The entire central span of the head (and chest) section may be radioluscent, and the balanced X-ray cassette holder allows adjustment of X-ray film position thereunder.
The present invention also provides a bariatric bed having a footboard which is adapted for use as a step to enable ingress and egress relative the bed. Such a footboard may be pivotally connected to the leg section of the bariatric bed so that it can pivot into close engagement with the floor when stepped on. Damping cylinders and springs may be used to optimally restrict such pivoting in use, and upper and lower cushions, ideally of different properties, may be employed for further benefits.
Although some details are summarized above, this summary generally only begins to touch on the broader technological categories to which the present inventions are directed. Many other objects, features and advantages of the present inventions will be evident to those of skill in the art in view of the foregoing and following more detailed descriptions, particularly when considered in light of the prior art and/or the claims appended hereto.

Extension of tube 93 by motor 92 causes weldment 110 to pivot relative to load frame 62 such that points 101, 107 and corresponding members 108, 109 articulate upwardly. Likewise, extension of tube 91 by motor 90 causes weldment 106 to pivot such that members 102 and 105 articulate upwardly. Retraction of tubes 93 or 91 would have the opposite effect, that of lowering members 108, 109, or 102, 105. Said articulation has the effect of causing members 102, 105, 108 and 109 to raise or lower in vertical motion, thereby raising or lowering seat assembly 52 in vertical motion. In the preferred embodiment, such articulation as raises seat assembly 52 is said to provide a BED UP function. Such articulation as lowers seat assembly 52 is said to provide a BED DOWN function. It is believed that the system described herein having mechanically articulated attachment points at the four corners of seat assembly 52 promotes greater stability than would a system utilizing hydraulic type cylinders wherein the support is typically concentrated along a single longitudinal axis.
Articulation by one jack motor 90 or 92 greater or less than that of the other jack motor 92 or 90 has the effect of establishing the patient support surface in a Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg treatment position. Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg therapy is well know in the art for treatment of certain cardiac conditions and is considered an important feature for many conventional hospital beds, although the excessive weight of bariatric patients has led the art away from incorporating such features in a bariatric bed. The preferred embodiment is capable of achieving ten degrees Trendelenburg or twelve and one half degrees reverse Trendelenburg therapy. Articulation to effect such treatment is referred to as providing the TRENDELENBURG or REVERSE TRENDELENBURG function.

In the preferred embodiment, full extension of jack sleeve 117 in order to provide full HEAD UP and simultaneous full retraction of jack sleeve 115 in order to provide full LEGS DOWN causes conversion of patient treatment bed 29 into a reclining chair. In combination with unique benefits provided by the leg and foot board assemblies 53 and 54, detailed further herein, the chair position of treatment bed 29 particularly facilitates entrance or exit of the bed by a bariatric patient. It should also be noted that seat assembly 52 provides convenient mounting for patient restraint system weldments 126 and 127.

As for the foam used in mattress 11, a wide variety may be suitable; however, with the exception of cushions 163 and 164, the foam used in the preferred embodiment is an antimicrobial open-cell polyurethane foam having a density of 1.8 pounds per cubic foot and 36 pounds compression. The foam used for cushion 163 in the preferred embodiment is similar but has a relatively large density of 2.7 pounds per cubic foot and 70 pounds compression. The foam used for cushion 164 in the preferred embodiment is also similar but is less dense than cushion 163, having a density of 2.0 pounds per cubic foot and 41 pounds compression. Both cushions 163 and 164 are wedge-shaped, with their greater thicknesses (roughly 1.75″ and 0.5″, respectively) being distal to hinge 189. The relative characteristics of these foam cushions serve their varied purposes.
It is well know in the art of design and manufacture of bariatric patient treatment beds to provide a means by which the patient can easily enter or exit the bed. Bariatric patients are often not able to hop or step down even short distances without injury or loss of balance. It is therefore to provide a means for entrance or exit which lifts the patient into the bed and similarly sets the patient's feet very near the floor when exiting the bed. In the prior art, it has been shown that a rigid foot board in combination with a chair position feature, as previously detailed herein, facilitates bariatric patient care. However, measures are taken to ensure such foot boards are not used as a step when exiting the bed, presumably for safety reasons in view of the excessive weight of bariatric patients. The present invention goes against such teachings by providing a footboard 54 which is adopted to be used safely as a step for bariatric patients.
Referring still to
Under the weight of a bariatric patient, hydraulic cylinder 179 increasingly resists articulation of foot board assembly 54 about hinge 186. Gradually, resistance will increase as more weight is applied by the patient. In this manner, foot board assembly 54 is able to provide increasingly rigid support of the bariatric patient while minimizing any risk of 54 snapping under the weight of a typical bariatric patient. Further if a bariatric patient should apply weight onto foot board 54 at excessive speed, the dampening action of hydraulic cylinder 179 may serve to prevent injury to the patients knees and legs. One weight is removed from foot board 54 (such as once patient has completely exited bed 29), spring 165 returns foot board assembly 54 to its original position with respect to leg assembly 53. Hydraulic cylinder 172 in tension dampens the return motion of spring 165 This damping helps prevent snapback of the foot board assembly 54, which might otherwise present safety hazards.
The cushion 33 not only enhances patient comfort but can also cushion engagement of foot board 54 with the floor, as the patient exits or enters bed 29. Additionally, in case a care giver is unalert and places a foot beneath foot board assembly 54, and a patients weight does cause foot board assembly 54 to contact the caregiver's foot, heavy padding of cushion 163 distributes the weight and cushions the foot to help prevent excessive discomfort to the caregiver.
Pins 190 and 191 held in position beneath foot board assembly 54 by nuts 192 and 193 may be placed in a release position so as to allow foot plate 162 to articulate about secondary attachment hinge 189. Said release allows patient support foot cushion 33 to lie coplanar with leg cushion 32. This may be desirable when the bed surface is in a horizontal position if the caregiver wishes to minimize pressure against the patients feet.

Scale function membrane switch 157 allows a caregiver to effect scale operations such as ZERO, HOLD, WEIGH DELAY, SET and EXIT ALARM. Liquid crystal display 160 is necessary for visual feedback to the care giver in effecting scale operations as such effect takes place through a system of menus. The details of all scale operations will be evident further herein. Bed function membrane switch 158 allows a caregiver to effect operations of BED UP, BED DOWN, HEAD UP, HEAD DOWN, LEGS UP, LEGS DOWN, TRENDELENBURG and REVERSE TRENDELENBURG as previously described. Side rail micro-controller unit 156 processes input from scale function membrane switch 157 and bed function membrane switch 158 and generates display information for LCD 160. Data communication from the switches 157 and 158 and the other control components in siderail 144 are conveyed to the master controller via line 60′, which passes through a central tunnel in member 60 and shaft 148. As will be evident further herein, micro-controller unit 156 serves as a slave in the serial communications architecture of the preferred embodiment. This architecture is shown in
The scale function ZERO allows the weight of the bed to be set to zero prior to patient placement thereby compensating for linens and accessories. Scale function HOLD retains the current weight in memory while additional items, such as traction equipment, are added thereby eliminating inaccuracies as would otherwise be introduced by such activity. The scale function WEIGH DELAY postpones weighing for a specified time while tubes, drainage bags and the like are lifted thereby giving accurate reflection of the patient's weight only. Scale function SET is used to enter a previously known weight of the patient. Scale function EXIT ALARM detects weight decreases of ten percent or more and in such case sounds an audible alarm.
Referring back to
As is well known in the art of design and manufacture of treatment beds for bariatric patients, the bariatric patient is often of such limited mobility as to make it impracticable for said patient to utilize bed function controls mounted on a side rail. Referring now to

As is best shown by the flow diagram of
During the first 25 ms stage designated as step 226 of the serial communication sequence 224 data denoting left side articulation commands, left side alarm weight, left side zero weight, left side activation status, and left side exit alarm activation status is read from the RAM of the left side micro-controller unit 156 and written to the RAM of the solid state relay board 220. During the second 25 ms interrupt stage designated as step 227 of the serial communications sequence 224, data denoting right side bed articulation commands, right side alarm weight, right side zero weight, right side activation status, and right side exit alarm activation status is read from the RAM of the right side micro-controller unit 215 and written to the RAM of the solid state relay board 220. In step 228, at the beginning of the third 25 ms interrupt stage of serial communication sequence 224 the solid state relay board micro-controller unit 220 determines if the right side micro-controller unit 215 has been activated for scale functions during the present 100 ms cycle one cycle being defined as consisting of those elements shown in
The fourth 25 ms interrupt stage of serial communications sequence 224 commences in step 235 with the determination of whether the left side rail micro-controller unit 156 has been activated for scale functions within the present 100 ms cycle. If in step 235 of serial communication sequence of 224 it is determine that the left side rail micro-controller unit 156 has been activated for scale functions within the present cycle, the time remaining in the fourth 25 ms interrupt stage is utilized in step 236 to replace display of scale information on the right side rail LCD 216 by a message stating that the right side is inactive for scale functions. If in step 235 it is determined that the left side rail micro-controller unit 156 has not been recently activated for scale functions, communications sequence 224 continues in step 237 with determination of whether either the left side alarm weight or left side zero weight values ascertained in step 226 of sequence 224 represents change from the values ascertained during the 100 ms cycle immediately previous to the present 100 ms cycle.
If change is indicated in step 237 of serial communications sequence 224, the newly ascertained left side values are read from the RAM of the solid state relay board 220 and written to the RAM of the right side micro-controller unit 215 in step 238 during the time remaining in the fourth 25 ms interrupt stage. If no change is indicated in step 237, serial communications sequence 224 continues in step 239 with determination of whether the right side rail micro-controller unit 215 is active or inactive for scale functions. If during step 239 of serial communications sequence 224 it is determined the right side micro-controller unit 215 is active for scale functions the sequence 224 continues in step 156 by utilizing the remaining time of the fourth 25 ms interrupt stage to read raw weight data from the RAM of the solid state relay board micro-controller unit 220 and write the retrieved data to the RAM of right side micro-controller unit 215. If in step of 239 of sequence 224 it is determined that the right side micro-controller unit 215 is not active for scale functions, the time remaining in the fourth 25 ms interrupt stage is utilized in step 241 of sequence 224 to read raw weight data from the RAM of the scale interface unit 220 and write the retrieved data to the RAM of the solid state relay board micro-controller unit 220. The sequence then repeats 242 commencing at step 225.
It is also notable that the foregoing description primarily describes an embodiment that is substantially the same as a product which is commercially available under the designation "BariKare" Bed This bed, which is in essence bed 29, has an overall length of 87.5 inches, a height variable between 21 25 to 27.5″ from the floor to the hard pan surface of the seat section, a mattress 11 measuring 80″ L by 36″ W by 5″ thick, a caster diameter of 5″, siderail height of 21.5″, siderail length of 48″, and overall bed weight of roughly 665 pounds. The width of such bed varies depending on which position the siderails are in −40.25″ with the siderails in the transport position, 43.25″ with the siderails in the normal position and 54″ with the siderails in the extended position.

Changes in the Relative Structure of Wages and Employment: A Comparison of Canada, France and the United States
Standard economic models suggest that adverse demand shocks will lead to bigger employment losses if institutional factors like minimum wages or trade unions prevent real wages from declining. Some analysts have argued that this insight explains the dichotomy between the United States, where real wages of less-skilled workers fell over the 1980s and aggregate employment expanded vigorously, and Europe, where real wages of less-skilled workers were constant and employment was stagnant. We test this hypothesis by comparing recent changes in wage and employment rates for different age and education groups in Canada, France and the United States. We argue that similar trade and technology shocks that led to falling real wages for less-skilled workers in the United States have affected Canada and France. Consistent with the view that labour market institutions in these countries inhibit wage flexibility, we find that the relative wages of less-skilled workers fell somewhat less in Canada that in the United States during the 1980s and did not fall at all in France. Nevertheless, we find similar patterns of employment changes by skill group in the three countries.

Tracing T. S. Eliot's Spirit by A. David Moody
Book DescriptionT. S. Eliot's lifelong quest for a world of the spirit is the theme of this book by leading Eliot scholar A. David Moody. The first four essays in the collection map Eliot's spiritual geography: the American taproot of his poetry, his profound engagement with the philosophy and religion of India, his near and yet detached relations with England, and his problematic cultivation of a European mind. At the centre of the collection is a study of the Latin poem Pervigilium Veneris, a fragment of which figures enigmatically in the concluding lines of The Waste Land. The third part of the collection is a set of five investigations of Eliot's poems, dealing particularly with The Waste Land, Ash Wednesday and Four Quartets, and attending to how they express and shape what he called 'the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being'.

Ezra Pound to His Parents, Hardback (January 2011)
Pound's letters are a vital source of information about his life and work. They reveal not only the affection of the young man for his devoted parents, from schooldays through college and on into his life as teacher, poet, and critic, but also how he shared with them the ideas and experiences that went into the development of his poetic genius.

Market for JK Unlimited Freedom Top?
3 Attachment(s)
Kind of an odd question...
I purchased my JKUR a few weeks ago, and purchased the Freedom Top as an add-on. After having it on for a few days (installed this Tuesday), I've come to to the conclusion that I just don't like it.
Is there a market for re-sale? There is a defect in the glass, and Chrysler is replacing the whole top....so if i sell it, someone is going to be getting a *brand new* top (at a VERY steep discount).
Any thoughts or advice?
Craigslist, just sold my wheels for $800. A ht souls go quickly as the weather get colder.
I've seen them for around $1,800.

Soft kites like this are basically indestructible, so I tend to fly them down onto the ground so they land upside down. Hook the handles over a dog stake (see picture - always a good investment for a kite-flyer), and the wind will hold the kite down while you walk down to it and unhook it from the flying lines.

(Yes, crossovers can be used to form a dihedral angle in the kite, but you might be better to use a dedicated fitting, such as http://intothewind.com/dihedral-fittings-for-kite...)10. Butt-joint. A main spar goes right through the small hole, and then the end of a short spar pushes into the long part. Should feel slightly flexible & rubbery.11. More end-caps, for different thicknesses of spar.12. Nocks - like the back end of an arrow, a structural line will pass over the end of a spar in these.
Oh, and whilst a dihedral is very, very desirable, you don't have to build an actual angle into your kite - you could add a bow or use a design that will bow in the wind.http://www.drachen.org/sites/default/files/pdf/Wha...http://www.peterlynnhimself.com/Why_Kites_Dont_Fly...View Topic »

This is very cool, but I don't have any spring steel, so I'm working on a different trigger-return mechanism.I'll post pictures when I'm done.View Instructable »
This is a bit short - it would be cool if you used your own photos to show us how to play each chord or note, and maybe a video of playing it?View Instructable »
Since you don't list the videos you've watched, the only possible answer is "use your favourite search engine".View Topic »
My first thought is that the people who dump bags & rubbish beside the wheelie bins are just going to throw it at the door of a "waste house".View Topic »
Not an actual clue myself - maybe another member with more high-voltage experience can help?View Topic »
