The invention relates to a medical information card that is in the form of a compact disk that has similar dimensions to a credit card. This compact disk is stored in a plastic sheath. An optional medical information sheet can be inserted into the plastic sheath adjacent to the medical information card so that a person inserting the medical information card into a computer will know whether a set of information stored on that card matches with a set of information stored on the sheet. Both the medical information card and the medical information sheet can have a digital picture of the user so that medical practitioners do not mix information relating to one user with information relating to another user. There is also a process for creating this medical information card. Essentially, the process includes the steps of presenting an application for a medical information card over a communication network, receiving medical and personal information from a user over that communication network, copying that information to a compact disk, and mailing the compact disk to the user. In a second embodiment of the process, the user can be presented with a paper-based application, wherein the user can then complete the application and then mail this application onto a receiving house where the information is eventually entered into a computer and then ultimately stored on a miniature compact disk.

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates to a compact disk based medical information card containing the medical history of a user. More particularly, the invention relates to a compact disk having medical information stored thereon wherein this compact disk is shaped similar to a credit card.
[0003] According to experts, between 44,000 and 98,000 patients in U.S. Hospitals die from mistakes made by medical professionals. These mistakes or hospital errors makes this category the eighth leading cause of death ahead of traffic accidents, breast cancer and AIDS.
[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0005] Thus, there would be a great benefit to a user to have a medical information card to present to a medical care provider in a hospital to cut down on hospital mistakes. Medical information cards are known in the art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,021,393 to Honda et al. discloses a medical information management system using a portable memory card. The portable memory card stores the patient's medical data allowing his medical history to be readily available to treating physicians. The use of an optical card provides for storage of a large amount of information on a card that can fit into the patient's wallet.
[0006] U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,481,519 and 5,461,719 to Hosoya disclose a method for recording, reproducing and managing file data on a recording medium and a method for recording and reproducing information on a recording medium in accordance with parameters stored in memory to allow sectors of different data capacities to collectively exist.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,651,067 to Ahrens et al. discloses a storage and selective information transmission system for personal data.
[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,373 to Opheij et al. discloses a memory card comprising an optical memory disc and microelectronic memory component, and apparatus for transferring information to and from such card.
[0009] U.S. Pat. No. 4,996,681 to Cocco et al. discloses an integral card for protectively enclosing an optical disk and a visual information hearing area.
[0010] U.S. Pat. No. 5,923,018 to Kameda et al. discloses a medical care schedule and record aiding system, a medical care schedule and record aiding method, and a program storage device readable by the system. This patent discloses a database type program for managing medical records and information.
[0011] While the prior art has shown a medical information card having electronic medical information stored thereon, the prior art has not shown a medical information card that contains the picture of the individual along with the card. In addition, the prior art has not shown the use of a miniature compact disc shaped similar to a credit card for storing this medical information. Finally, the prior art has not shown using this miniature compact disk in combination with a plastic sheath and a personal information sheet having personal and medical information of the user printed thereon.
[0012] One object of the invention is to provide a medical information card that is formed from a compact disk that can be read by a personal computer.
[0013] Another object of the invention is to provide a medical information card that is easy to read and easy for a user to carry.
[0014] Still another object of the invention is to present a medical information card to a user wherein this medical information card is stored in a plastic sheath along with a medical information sheet which can be used to further verify the medical history of the user.
[0015] These and other objects are achieved by creating a medical information card that contains medical information about a user. Disposed on a front face of this medical information card is a label that contains personal information and may optionally contain the user's photograph, or the user's social security number. This medical information card is essentially a miniature compact disk that has similar dimensions to a credit card. In addition, this medical information card can be inserted into a plastic sheath along with a medical information sheet containing information about the user.
[0016] There is also a system and a process for creating this medical card. The system comprises a computer network that contains a server connected to a general computer network such as the Internet or an intranet. Connected to this general computer network is a series of remote computers wherein the user logs into these remote computers and enters information into these remote computers and sends this information to the server. The server can then either download this information onto the medical card or download this information on a standard compact disk and ship that standard compact disk to a fulfillment house. The fulfillment house can also be used to create the medical card wherein the fulfillment house downloads information onto the medical card from the compact disk and then verifies this information. Finally, this medical card is placed inside the plastic sheath along with a medical information sheet and this package is shipped to the user.
[0017] In a second embodiment of the process according to the invention, users can also complete a paper-based application and then mail this application onto a receiving facility which either enters this information into the server or sends this information onto the fulfillment house where this information is organized and entered into a computer where it is then ultimately transferred to a miniature compact disk.
[0018] Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings which disclose several embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the drawings are designed for the purpose of illustration only and not as a definition of the limits of the invention.
[0019] In the drawings wherein similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views:
[0020]FIG. 1A shows a front view of the medical information card;
[0021]FIG. 1B shows a back view of the medical information card;
[0022]FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the medical information card;
[0023]FIG. 3 shows a computer network that can be used for carrying out a process for putting electronic medical information on the card;
[0024]FIG. 4 shows a simplified process for creating the medical information card over a computer network;
[0025]FIG. 5 shows a more complex process for creating the medical information card over a computer network;
[0026]FIG. 6 shows a first web page for receiving personal information relating to a user;
[0027]FIG. 7 shows a second web page for receiving medical information from a user;
[0028]FIG. 8 shows a third web page for receiving medical information from a user;
[0029]FIG. 9 shows a first application page for the second embodiment of the process;
[0030]FIG. 10 shows a second application page for the second embodiment of the process;
[0031]FIG. 11 shows a third application page for the second embodiment of the process; and
[0032]FIG. 12 shows fourth application page for the second embodiment of the process.
[0033] Referring in detail to the drawings, FIG. 1A shows a front side view of medical information card 10, which is shaped similar to a credit card. Medical information card 10 is essentially miniaturized compact disk that contains medical information. Card 10 has a smaller diameter 12 than a standard compact disk and flattened sides 14 to keep this disk in a substantially rectangular shape. Disposed on front face 20, of card 10, is a label 22 which contains personal identification information. This label is affixed to card 10 so that the information disposed on card 10 is not attributed to another user. This personal identification information can include the name, address and telephone number of the user, and optionally his or her social security number and a digitized photograph of the user. With this personal identification information, if a user is unconscious in a hospital, a medical professional can either match the photograph of the user on card 10 with the unconscious user, or match card 10 with the user by asking friends or associates of the user the user's name, address and telephone number.
[0034]FIG. 2 shows a medical card package 25 comprising a medical card 10, having a label 22 fixed to a front face of card 10, and a medical information sheet 30 being inserted into a plastic sheath 40. Plastic sheath 40 contains a first flap 42 and a second flap 44 wherein card 10 and medical information sheet 30 are inserted between both flaps for protection. Once this medical card package 25 has been created, (see FIG. 2) it is shipped to a user.
[0035] A computer network can be used to allow a user to enter information onto a server which is then used to create both medical information card 10 and medical information sheet 30. FIG. 3 shows a computer network 100 for performing the process for creating medical identification card 10. In this computer network 100 is a server 110 that comprises a processor 112, a mass storage 114 and a memory 116. Processor 112 could be formed from a processor manufactured by the Intel Corporation or Advanced Micro Devices Corporation (AMD) or any other type processor manufacturer. This processor 112 runs a program 101 that sets forth a series of steps shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
[0036] Program 101 comprises a series of steps and provides instructions to processor 112 to perform a series of sequential or non sequential steps. Information generated or associated with program 101 can then be stored on mass storage 114, and then loaded into a resident memory 116. Both processor 112, the mass storage 114 and memory 116 are all interconnected so that all three components run together on server 110.
[0037] Program 101 can either be stored in mass storage 114, or imported to server 110 from another computer network 100. Server 110 is connected to a general computer network such as the Internet 120 which also connects to a series of remote computers 130. Computer network 100 could be associated with either the Internet 120 or the intranet system which includes either additional servers or additional remote computers. In this case, server 110 differs from remote computer 130 in that server 110 acts as a central store for communication between remote computers. Computer 130 is connected to computer network 100 on a client server basis wherein remote computer 130 is a client of server 110.
[0038] In this case, program 101 could be stored in mass storage 114 or imported into server 110 wherein it would load into memory 116. From memory 116, program 101 would then communicate with processor 112, such that processor 112 would perform a series of steps shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In addition, there is also a series of web pages shown in FIGS. 6-8 wherein these web pages can either be stored in mass storage 114 or imported from another computer on computer network 100. These web pages contain a set of questions for gathering information or data that is either generated by program 101 or web pages that work along with program 101 to perform either a series of functions, or provide a series of solutions. The data associated with these web pages are loaded into memory 116 and then manipulated or altered by processor 112 to either create new sets of data tables or change the values of the data in an original set of tables, or simply remain the same data in those tables. Once program 101 is uploaded into processor 112, program 101 performs a series of steps as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
[0039]FIG. 4 shows a simplified process for creating the medical information card while FIG. 5 shows a more complex process for creating the medical information card. In this process, there is a series of steps starting with step 201 wherein a user receives an application for medical history over the computer network on a screen on remote computer 130. The user completes this application by inserting data into a series of fields shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8. More particularly, as shown in FIG. 5, step 202 comprises a series of sub steps wherein step 202A comprises entering personal identification information, step 202B comprises entering emergency contact information, step 202C comprises entering personal medical history information, step 202D comprises entering family medical history, step 202E comprises entering the user's primary care physician's name and contact information, step 202F comprises entering the name and identification information of the user's insurance carrier and step 202G comprises entering in a digital photograph of the user.
[0040] For example, in step 202A the user must enter his or her name, address, and phone number, but the user also has the option to enter in his or her email address, and his or her social security number. In step 202B the user would then enter the name, address and telephone number of an emergency contact person who should be reached if the user has been gravely injured as shown in FIG. 5.
[0041] In step 202C the user enters the name and telephone number of his or her primary care physician and can then optionally leave additional contact information for a backup primary care physician to call if the primary care physician listed cannot be reached. In addition, in step 202D the user enters in his or her medical insurance carrier information such as the name of the insurance carrier, the policy number and the group number.
[0042] In step 202E the user has the option to enter his or her family medical history such as whether the user's family has a history of heart attacks, cancer, diabetes, or any other type of heredity based disease.
[0043] In step 202F the user has the option to enter in his or her habits, blood type, allergies, diagnostic testing history such as X-rays, MRIs, and blood tests, or history of medical treatments such as bronchitis, ulcer or sciatica as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
[0044] Finally, in step 202G the user can upload into the system or mail in a digital picture of the user so that this picture can be associated with this medical information. This picture could then be used to associate this background medical information with a particular patient and cut down on any mistakes associated with medical information or history applied to the wrong patient.
[0045] Once all of this information has been entered into remote computer 130 and transmitted to server 110, in step 203, this information is stored on server 110 and then, in step 204 sent to a fulfillment house. A fulfillment house is essentially a data input company that either inputs data or transforms data into a preset format. For example in step 205, this information is either transformed into a readable data file or keyed into a database wherein the information is stored as a data file that can be easily read by a personal computer. Next, in step 206, this information is validated so that an operator at the fulfillment house checks the information that was originally entered by the user in step 202 with the final data product created in step 205.
[0046] Next, if the fulfillment house cannot transcribe this information onto a miniature compact disk, in step 208, the fulfillment house transfers this information to a standard compact disk. Next, in step 210 the fulfillment house sends this information on a standard compact disk to a compact disk manufacturer. In step 214, the compact disk manufacturer then transposes this information onto a miniature compact disk and then in step 216 the compact disk manufacturer validates the information stored on the miniature compact disk with the information stored on the original compact disk.
[0047] Next, in step 218, the compact disk manufacturer mails this disk back to the fulfillment house. In step 220, the fulfillment house verifies this data and then the fulfillment house may in step 222, apply a special label to the miniature compact disk wherein this label includes personal identification information relating to that user. Next, in step 224, this compact disk is packaged with a medical information sheet and placed in a plastic sheath for mailing. In step 226, the medical information card including the compact disk, the medical information sheet and the plastic sheath are mailed with a letter thanking the user for purchasing the medical information card. Finally, in step 228 the information is retained on the server whereby this information can be updated by the user to produce an updated medical information card at a later date.
[0048] Now the user has a medical information card in the form of a compact disk that can be read by most personal computers. Because this information is stored on a miniaturized compact disk, shaped similar to a credit card, this information can be easily carried by users. In addition, since this information can be easily carried by users, and easily readable in a personal computer, it can also be readily available to medical professionals when a user is hurt or gravely injured and needs treatment. Thus, the user would benefit from this medical information card because this additional information would assist these medical professionals in treating the user which would most likely reduce the mortality rate in hospitals due to mistakes made in hospitals.
[0049]FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12 relate to the second embodiment of the process for creating medical card 10. FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12 show the first, second, third and fourth sheets of a paper-based application wherein a user can receive by mail, or any other means. Once the user answers the questions contained in the application thereby completing this application, the user then mails this application into a receiving facility which runs server 110. This receiving facility then has the option to enter this information into server 110 in step 203 and mail this information onto the fulfillment house in step 204, or simply skip step 203 and then mail this information to the fulfillment house where it is then keyed into a server at the fulfillment house. With this second embodiment of the invention, users can obtain a medical card without using a computer. While this information is eventually stored on a computer and a miniature compact disk, this second embodiment allows users who are not computer literate to participate in this program.
[0050] Accordingly, while several embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that many changes and modifications may be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

I sure am glad that global warming has produced so much snow for our Northeast. I see that Boston has run out of room to stash the stuff. It has experienced a record snowfall, more of the white stuff over the last 30 days than any similar period in history.
I hear that Bernie Sanders is buried under so much snow in Vermont that even his heated rants cannot melt a way out. And the scientists at MIT are working overtime to connect climate change to the record snow.
Face it, hard to sell alarm about global warming when there is so much snow in Boston the wolves are threatening to come back.

Here is the Preamble of the Constitution:
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary forone people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them withanother, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equalstation to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decentrespect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causeswhich impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men arecreated equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienablerights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are institutedamong men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Thatwhenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is theright of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government,laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in suchform, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments longestablished should not be changed for light and transient causes; andaccordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed tosuffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing theforms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuinginvariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolutedespotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government,and to provide new guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; andsuch is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systemsof government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history ofrepeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishmentof an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submittedto a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome andnecessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate andpressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent shouldbe obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation oflarge districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right ofRepresentation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidableto tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for thesole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, foropposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, tocause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable ofAnnihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; theState remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion fromwithout, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of theseStates; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising theconditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusinghis Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for thetenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hitherswarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armieswithout the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of andsuperior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to ajurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws;giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment forany Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trialby Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretendedoffences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in aneighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, andenlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fitinstrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our mostvaluable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaringthemselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of hisProtection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt ourtowns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreignMercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, alreadybegun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in themost barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on thehigh Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners oftheir friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and hasendeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless IndianSavages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of allages, sexes and conditions.
He has waged cruel war against human natureitself, violating it's most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons ofa distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them intoslavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in theirtransportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidelspowers, is the warfare of the Christian king of Great Britain. He hasprostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibitor to restrain this execrable commerce determining to keep open a market whereMEN should be bought and sold: and that this assemblage of horrors might wantno fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise inarms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, bymurdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off formercrimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which heurges them to commit against the lives of another.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned forRedress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answeredonly by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every actwhich may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittishbrethren.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by theirlegislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigrationand settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity,and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow theseusurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections andcorrespondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and ofconsanguinity.
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, whichdenounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States ofAmerica, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of theworld for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority ofthe good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these UnitedColonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that theyare Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all politicalconnection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to betotally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have fullPower to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, andto do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firmreliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to eachother our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Here is the introduction of the Bible:
Genesis 1 King James Version (KJV)1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Okay, so I don't know about you, but I'm not seeing a similarity here. Two different balls of wax. None of the words are the same, and the ideals put forth are totally different. Oh, it doesn't matter? why, sure it does. The Founding Fathers of our country were not all Christian. Most of them were Deists, as in they believed in a creator, but, don't state what their faith is, and were also the push behind public education.
The link for the faith of our Founding Fathers is here: http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/history/item/4846-faith-of-the-founding-fathers
And here: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1272214/The-Founding-Fathers-Deism-and-Christianity
It stands to reason, that this is true, because of the fact that in England, back in the day, whomever was king, assigned the national religion or faith, and if another group ended up taking over, the new regime set the new national religion. We have also read from other history books, that much of the European countries have had their fair share of the religious wars, and it was one Christian sect against another. To eliminate the issue, for a totally free country, our Founding Fathers put in the First Amendment about religion, because the will to practice how you see fit is considered of utmost importance with the freedom of press, peaceful assembly, speech and petitioning our government. To say the USA is a Christian nation does not stand the test of the Constitution. We are all here to be able to practice our faith at will.
Traditionally, until Ben Franklin founded the first university, many children were home schooled. But, the founding fathers realized that seriously? Not every parent was available to teach their children, but not all parents are fit to be home school teachers. They prided themselves on the fact that an educated public is a well behaved public, and idle hands lead to mischief, to say the least.
The link for the public school founding is here: http://www.nas.org/articles/u_s_founding_fathers_on_education_in_their_own_words
And here: http://www.stltoday.com/news/opinion/columns/founding-fathers-agreed-funding-public-education-is-not-a-debate/article_f05aa5b0-2fed-5c63-be1a-1b013cf49625.html
Oh, so you say I missed the boat? That the Constitution really is based on the Bible? Okay, here. Maybe a look at the Bill of Rights and The Ten Commandments comparison will give us a closer look at how the two beasts (our political system and our faith) are not even overlapping, much less being similar.
The Bill of Rights (which is our governmental 10 Commandments):
Amendment I - Freedoms, Petitions, AssemblyCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment II -Right to bear armsA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Amendment III - Quartering of soldiersNo Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Amendment IV - Search and arrestThe right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment V - Rights in criminal casesNo person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Amendment VI - Right to a fair trialIn all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed; which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence.
Amendment VII - Rights in civil casesIn Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
Amendment VIII - Bail, fines, punishmentExcessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Amendment IX - Rights retained by the PeopleThe enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X - States' rightsThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Here is the 10 Commandments (The Constitution of the Bible):
Exodus 20 King James Version (KJV)20 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I love the fact that I get to be a universalist protestant, and you get to be what ever faith you want. This country was based off of the fact that as individuals, we are entitled to be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Shinto, Buddhist, Wiccan, or what suits you. If everyone were alike, we'd be talking to the walls.
What then, is it with the same sex marriage issue? Of course, we must remember, no matter what the verses state in the Bible, God never uses the term marriage, and does not outright define husband as a man, and does not define wife as being woman. So that definition is null and void about marriage between a man and a woman. So, if you want a Christian country, you would have to get rid of the preamble and ditch out on the ideas of our founding fathers. If you want to honor The Constitution, you need to accept the fact that all men are created equal, meaning that you can't stop some people from getting married thus having less rights than you do. And, if Jesus were here today? What would He do? He would accept those who are cast out to put them under His wing. More people need to practice the ideal of the Golden Rule "do unto others, as you'd have done unto you".

Installing a residential refer... DIY
Interesting. I'm curious what your refer users guide says about airflow around the new refer. I was looking for a residential two years ago for a friend and all the models I looked at required 2" open space above the refer for the most efficiency. And then some open space in the back, and underneath, but zero clearance on the sides. But it looks like the OP has 0" clearance on the top? Does it vent out the original roof venting?

Looking for some help with electric steps......UPDATE.
While I was waiting to 'get round 2 it' I'd just used those strong Zip ties to hold the steps up while driving. One on each side of the step assembly. I'd disconnected the swing arm so the steps were loose though. I never bothered to lash them when I was at a park and they were down. I got use to them that way so as to continue on the trip. They'd swing a little but not to bad. Did concentrate on it though, and used the railings. If I wasn't going to be at a park for very long, I just set my little plastic step stool out and use that. Then after the trip was done, and I was at home, took the entire assembly out to work on it. Surprisingly simple system. Easy to pop open the gearbox and check the gears. Lubed everything, cleaned all electrical connectors, and it's been fine since.

Have you experienced a tire blow out...?
I suppose many of us have gone through the harrowing experience of a tire blow out. Have you?...tell us about it. Maybe this post will be of benefit to those new to the RV'ing world and maybe others. Would like for responses to at least briefly cover: 1. type tire 2. age (years) of tire 3. where located (front, rear outside, etc.) 4. cause if known 5. how did you change or get the tire changed. If with a roadside service company...were you satisfied with response and service? 6. did the blow out cause you to lose control or an accident 7. did the coach sustain damage? 9. Any other information you think might be 'educational' or of some benefit to a newbie. Here's my story: On I-75 just north of Atlanta (thankfully not in downtown Atlanta!!), Goodyear, six years old, rear inside, cause of blow out unknown. Called our road side service company provided by (Wholesale Warranties). A local truck tire service company arrived within 30 minutes of the call with a new tire. Tire installed and back on the road in less than two hours. Very satisfied. Did not lose control of coach and no damage. 1. Bridgestone commercial truck tires. With 48,000 miles. 2. 7 or so. 3. Drivers side inside rear dually. 4. Tire separation between tread ridges. 5. Coach Net. This was in the middle of Canada, took maybe 3 hours all together. Satisfied. 6. No. 7. No. 9. Had hit some road waddles some 200 miles earlier at too high a speed. Shouldn't have been going that fast. Think the compression after returning to earth on one flight of the chassis caused the tread to separate.

Well, what you're describing kind of says that the supply solenoid in the BCC is not the problem. Good luck.

Replacement for Jensen Back up monitor
I've found generics around for $90. They are all over so I won't link just one (Amazon) because that would be unfair to the other retailers. Just wondering though...is it possible you're losing power to the monitor? Because there's a well known issue with backup cameras/monitors in RVs not drawing enough power...which causes the contacts in the power solenoid (looks like a automotive start relay) to carbonize and develop a high resistance to low current devices. So they behave like what you're seeing with your camera. If you think that it might be losing power, find your BCC (battery control center) and locate the solenoid that supplies battery power to the camera and monitor. Next time your backup image fades away, go whack that solenoid with a rubber mallet. If the picture comes back, means you just need a new solenoid. If not, at least you got the opportunity to whack something in your RV.

What I took out of my '94 Bounder measured 1 & 1/4". If they changed, they must have changed to 1 & 1/4" sometime in the early '90's. Which makes sense since the 1 & 1/4" stuff is just right. Though I think either size would work fine. It would be great if those folks finding T-moulding online and posting links here, could find a place that sells it in 25' rolls, instead of 250' rolls. Most of us don't need all that much. I have replaced all my moulding (but that company seems to be closed now) and don't need to know...but I bet lurkers might benefit. BTW, when I decided to replace my old cracked and broken off moulding, I could only find it at RV dealers, at $6/ft. One place asked $11/ft. Just think of it, asking $150 for what cost me $25. All it took to install was a sharp pair of scissors, a knife, and a rubber mallet. Thanks!

Electric fuel pump?
I remember the I/O lines of the external pump I installed on my diesel (right near the engine in the rear - fuel tank in the front) was a different size and I did worry about it a little. So I made sure the hose adaptors were right at the external pump, making it a short haul at the reduced diameter. It's been 11 years so far. Diesels don't get vapor lock so can't help with that. It's just I don't think your external pump has anything to do with it.

A New Noise And Source
I should have said, "...since MANY diesel models don't...". Now, whether a safety system component known to repeatedly fail, sometimes at high vehicle speed, bringing a 22K and heavier vehicle to a screeching halt in traffic, creating a dangerous situation for both drivers, passengers, and oncoming traffic can be considered 'poor design' is of course an opinion. And when many consider replacing a $30 safety system component every 15,000 miles as being necessary, I wouldn't call that 'good design' My opinion only.

Where did you get the trim. Mine is shot too, and burgundy looks great. I just went to Amazon to look up my order details (ordered in '14) and it seems that Amazon stopped carrying the moulding. All it shows is my order, but no info on the company, no substitute part number. A quick search of Amazon doesn't show anything close that might work either. Called "Plastic T-moulding". It was made by a company in or near Eugene, Oregon, came on a 25' roll and was 1&1/4" wide. The width is what Fleetwood originally used. It's wide enough that there's a small overhang on the top that helps keep small items on the shelf as you drive. The 25' roll was just enough to do all the moulding in the RV with around 18" left over. Cost was $25.73 (including shipping), so around a dollar a foot. Can't find info on that company so you'll have find a source on your own. If I do run into that info, I'll come back and post it here. They have (had?) a web site but I can't find that either, now. The big problem of finding it online is finding a company that will sell just 25' of the trim. Most have a minimum order of 250'! Anyway, back to the shelf, here's a picture of the underside of the shelf. You can see the brackets are wood. At least on the shelf under the LR window. Some other shorter shelves are simple 'L' brackets. But, the reason is that with the other shelves, you're not in bed gazing up at them like you are with the J-couch shelf. The screw is part of my modifications. I cut out sections of the moulding on the backside to make it easier to go around corners. Then I added a screw after a sharp bend. Probably unnecessary as the barbed part of the moulding really held fast. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/Jim_HiTek/P6300012_zps49xnhnrc.jpg

The only compartment with drains would be the fresh water compartment. Pretty sure. I do like xctraveler's idea that it might be defrost water from the refer...if it's nearby. But, water can travel quite a distance hidden before appearing.

moisture in basement
Why not just drill 1/4" holes, like 3 or 4, in the corner of the compartment? I'm thinking it's caused by a small air leak into the compartment. And overnight temps and moisture content do the rest. Maybe you're looking at morning dew? I'd climb under the rig and check for cracks and bad seals around the attachment points and seals. Put a strong battery operated light inside the compartment, and wait for nightfall.

As promised, here are the pictures of the shelf. This is original EXCEPT the vinyl edging. I replaced that last year because the OEM vinyl edging was all cracked and broken. Couldn't find the OEM 'cream' color at a reasonable price so went with burgundy at $25/25 foot roll: http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/Jim_HiTek/P6290007_zpsevnjcnir.jpg And here's a photo of the shelf when the couch is down: http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/Jim_HiTek/P6290009_zpslsmge5za.jpg And a shot of the dinette end of the shelf: http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/Jim_HiTek/P6290011_zpseriyla2f.jpg The shelf is 4 & 1/4" wide, and 75 & 1/2" long.

need to patch my black tank
I'd just get a roll of Eternabond. Many hardware stores are now carrying a 2" by 10 foot roll. Cut out a square, clean the area, stick it right over the hole. Done.

I'll put up a couple pics for you tomorrow, BVail. Not feeling too well at the moment. The shelf doesn't 'do' anything. Just sits there.

Space behind couch-too much
Your decor is the same as mine. The J-couch and captains chairs use the same fabric as my Bounder. And I am pretty sure that what's missing is a long shelf that suppose to be under the window. What goes there is a handy shelf that runs from the dinette up to just behind the driver. Gives you a nice place to put your coffee as you gaze out the window at a rain storm. The shelf is 3/4" thick particle board with a slot for a vinyl trim piece that when installed extends a little above the edge of the shelf, to keep things from falling off the shelf. Mine also has a thin vinyl cover that's glued on top of the shelf. The shelf is around 3-4" wide and 12' long. Those holes are where the right angle bracket that holds up that shelf are attached.

Tire quandary
The problem is the tire formulation. RV tires...are notorious for being made 'soft'. This allows the kind of sidewall flexing that RVer's like because of the nice smooth ride. But it also causes early sidewall failures. In addition, the softer rubber composition is often blamed for that type tires lack of UV tolerance. As a result of these issues, many RV'ers will refuse new tires from a dealer if it's older than a few months. Especially if we've specifically told them we wanted NEW tires no more then 6 months old. And then there is the problem of RV tires just sitting for months at a time. A 'RV' tire doesn't tolerate that very well. Especially if it's already been sitting in a warehouse for years prior to mounting on an RV.

Adding onto electric wires
Our posts must have happened at the same time, OP, and I posted mine before seeing your last one. My apologies, I did not realize you didn't have any outlets in the kitchen.
