A Humble Oakland Park Warehouse Wants to Unite the Bands of South Florida

For musicians, by musicians: This is essentially the motto of a humble Broward warehouse that is on the cusp of potentially becoming the next local spot for live music.
The warehouse (4530 N Dixie Hwy., Oakland Park) was formed a few months ago out of the need for a more centralized and affordable shared practice space, with locals Milk Spot, Killmama, Fat Sun, and Sandratz rotating practice time at the spot that is, as of now, going by NoBox/Funhouse.
"A good band warehouse is like a living room where people just pop in like Kramer, hopefully with a handful of beers. I think spaces like ours are crucial for any music scene where our bands can collide and collaborate," says Sandratz's Ian Brown.
"We all kind of know each other through acquaintances and stuff but this warehouse kind of brings a lot of bands together. All these bands are really cool and tight now," Preston Small, a member of both Fat Sun and Milk Spot, adds.
The concept for NoBox/Funhouse has evolved since its inception and now the space is more than just a place for bands to practice. Rob Kingsley of Killmama and Milk Spot has extended what he and his fellow associates have done through their own Fuzz Baby Records into the warehouse, such as recording live video and audio of bands' performances.

"We want to showcase locals and national acts rolling through South Florida. We record bands out of here as well. It's very chill and any band that we work with is not under any time pressure, so it gives them a chance to really perform and be themselves," says Kingsley.
The space's versatility has motivated a couple of notable Miami bands to make the drive up, including local favorites like Plastic Pinks and Dénudés, who have both recorded inside NoBox/Funhouse. These connections are of importance to the occupants of the warehouse, as they hope they can help make South Florida a more united scene and bridge the very wide gap between Broward and Miami music.
"It's kind of fragmented, because a lot of bands stick to playing Miami, a lot of bands stick to playing West Palm Beach," says Daniel Zerbo of Fat Sun and Sandratz.
"This is basically the spot to bring people together. I just want people to know that this is here," adds Jesus Arteaga of Fat Sun and Sandratz.
Kingsley hopes that NoBox/Funhouse will become a spot for live music as well as rehearsal. The space had its first show last Friday with the Grumps, Black Cousins, Fat Sun, Sandratz, Milk Spot, and more.
"Fort Lauderdale is in between both counties, and there are very few places to put on shows—especially all ages shows. There's a huge lack of house and warehouse shows from Fort Lauderdale up to West Palm. Miami definitely has it going on in that department, but there needs to be a better network between counties. I'm not really for scenes, but more so for networks. Scenes die like a fad, and networks... well, they are stronger. They last," Kingsley says. "All of us here feel that way. We want to put South Florida on the map. It's growing, but it's still this looming faraway place for out-of-state bands. We just want to try and unite the South Florida counties."

Spinning Beach Ball Of Death
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Spinning Beach Ball Of Death (Also known as the SBBOD) was created to make the user of any Mac go crazy. The applications were once running so smoothly, that Apple decided that something had to be done. Users were able to have many apps open at the same time and running at high speeds, so Apple created the Spinning Beach Ball Of Death.
edit History
edit Planning
Steve Jobs had a dream about a spinning beach ball that would not stop spinning or let him do anything. This inspired him to make his computer include the SBBOD. The idea was that the user would have to force quit the current application. The idea went through many stages, but eventually, Mac OS added it to the feature list.
edit Early Stages
The first stage was a watch icon that stared the user in the face. The hands on the watch tell the user how much time the user will waste. This was also known as the Watch Of Fate (WOF.) The WOF told the user how much time would be wasted on nothing. The computer pretends to be busy, but nothing actually happens.
edit Spinning Pinwheel
The Spinning Pinwheel was the next stage seen in early versions of Mac OSX. This made Mac OS X a lot slower and was a placeholder for Steve Jobs dream. The leap up to the dream of wasting the user's life was starting to pull through.
edit Spinning Beach Ball of Death
Mac OS X also added the Spinning Beach Ball Of Death for when the user moves the mouse over anything pertaining to the current application.It eventually spread to whenever the lagging application was lagging.
edit Stages
The SBBOD comes in three different stages:
edit Stage 1
Stage 1 is the basic stage of the SBBOD. It can occur t any time and can be resolved by waiting a few seconds. By appearing frequently enough, it wastes more time than stages 2 or 3.
edit Stage 2
The second stage is a bit more of a problem than stage 1. Stage 2 now makes the application lag for over a minute. Stage 2 lags can be minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, or even millenniums. Stage 2 SBBODs rarely end because the user aborts the process using the Force Quit feature.
edit Stage 3
The final stage is an infinite stage. Because it is an infinite stage, it can also be deadly, for if it occurs in Finder (the application intended to not find stuff,) the user cannot force quit because Force Quit is a feature in Finder.
edit Handling
When the SBBOD appears, you just have to wait for it to go away. That is the only way to handle the SBBOD. Anything else can result in your computer getting mad and giving the SBBOD again.
edit Appearances
The SBBOD can appear in many ways, all of which waste time
edit Safari
If you are unlucky enough to not have Firefox, Chrome, or any other web browser, you may get stuck with the SBBOD a lot more often than if you use a different browser.
edit Apple A, Apple O
This is the easiest way to get the SBBOD. Unlike the BSOD, you can get the SBBOD when you it to appear. This can be useful to do on a computer of someone you hate (given that it is a Mac.)
edit Saving and loading large files
Large files make it easier for your computer to waste your time because it has a good excuse. While you think that you are just loading a file, the file is already loaded, but your computer makes you wait so that you loose time that you will never get back. When you save large files, a very similar thing happens. The file saves, and then it is just an extra five minutes waiting for the SBBOD to go away so that you can continue using your computer.
edit Trying to do something in less than five minutes
As a general rule, it is impossible to do anything on a Mac in under 5 minutes. If you do, the SBBOD will make it take 5 minutes or even more.
edit Spinning Blue Circle Of Death/Hourglass Of Death
On Windows, you get the Spinning Blue Circle of Death (vista or later) or the Hourglass of Death(XP or earlier.) They are Microsoft's way of copying whatever Apple does (seen in the Windows Phone and Windows itself.) Unlike the SBBOD though, the SBCOD and the HOG sometimes don't take up the whole cursor. This lets you perform actions int 5 minutes that otherwise would take a second.
edit Future
edit Appearance
Apple has plans to make the SBBOD more common so that users waste more time. This is like the BSOD of windows 8 where you cannot get the hexidecimal codes from the screen itself. The player must search the hard drive to find the hexidecimal codes for the problem report.
edit Audio
Apple has announced that it is planning on making the SBBOD contain audio for the user to listn to. It is mostly a constant tone, but has very faint sounds of Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black.
edit 3D
Yes. Apple will make the SBBOD come in 3D with their 3D computers. This will mean that it will pop out of the screen at the user as it is saying "Ha ha ha ha, I just waisted 5 minutes of your life."

What stage is your business at?
Going green? Thinking about it? Let GreenSmith Consulting be your bridge.
My background allows me to be adroit at spanning different arenas, with awareness and grounding in both the current business paradigm, and the emerging, greener one. Put another way, as a green consultant, I speak multiple languages, and can help clearly translate what may be up to this point foreign to you. I can certainly spout acronyms with the best of them, but really, my talent is in taking complex ideas and "bottom lining" them, making for much greater clarity, relevance, and action to be possible on your part. There's an avalanche of green information out there, think of me as your sieve to make sense of it all, and be your guide to a brighter, more interesting future. There are many ways that I can make this happen.
Are you a business that's already green, but could use some help connecting with your customers, known and unknown? Or expanding beyond the comfortable niche you've got yourself in, reaching out to others who could really benefit from what it is you offer? Are you starting up, or even far along, and could use a knowledgeable, assured outside party to clearly see what's working, what's not, and where to proceed from here?
Perhaps you're well on your way, but being a self aware company, you know where you're not so strong, or perhaps simply don't have a need for an ongoing position to do what it is you need to do. I am glad to step in, and fill that gap. My talents, training, and intellect are malleable to a wide range of challenges , green business and otherwise, and I would be glad to discuss them with you.
Even if you're not intending to go green, we should talk. I am a green consultant who is versed in how to effectively seek out and leverage a company's hidden strengths, or reframe and capitalize on where it is less strong. Everything is a possibility, everything is a lesson, if viewed right. Simply put, I see possibilities where others don't. I make connections that others haven't yet. I help people to see them, and know how to best take advantage of them. For a complete list of what Greensmith Consulting offers, click here.
Ready to go? Have Questions? Please call Paul at 503 208 6388. You can email via the link near the top of the right column, above. You can also learn more about my background here, my specific services here, examples of my green consulting work here, and what my clients have said here.

The Ugandan leader of the group, Joseph Kony, is still at large and is believed to be hiding with his men in the jungle of the central African country. The new attacks come as the US charity Invisible Children is expected to put out a follow-up of the Kony 2012 online video, implicating the rebel leader in the murder and kidnapping of children in neighbouring Uganda. Invisible Children's first video went viral and raised awareness about Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

I don't normally make much of an effort to see many men's shows. I met up with Lulu at the Siki Im presentation last night, and we both admitted that the main draw is usually checking out the male models rather than taking a good look at the clothes. Hey, at least we're honest! Nonetheless, I was very impressed by the fall collection, which was influenced by somber spirituality, and an awareness of the earth and soil. Many of the pieces were inspired by the Native American spirit, and the designer collaborated with fifth generation Native American weaver Tahnibaa Naataanii to create the hand woven kilts and rugs worn in the show. There was a certain mastery in the layering of the various garments, which were piled on top of one another as protection from the elements, but inevitably reminded me of my favorite layer-lover, Brandon (who would probably add a good spike of color to the mix). Of course, under all the high hats, feathers, and dark eyeshadow, I did notice some very good looking male models hiding beneath.

I am so sad I didn't go to this. I didn't even think of Siki's collection until after the event :( Everyone said I'd have loved it but at least I can see your lovely photos and you are so right I would wear everything in a heartbeat. Maybe all at once in 1 big layerathon!

JUDY WOODRUFF: We remember him and look back at this week now with Shields and Brooks.
That is syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks.
Welcome, gentlemen.
Mark, you knew Tom Foley well. What legacy — it was a very different time in Washington.
MARK SHIELDS: It was.
It's only 20 years ago, Judy, but he brought to it — to his whole public career a meticulous sense of fairness and a genuine respect for the opinions of others. Tom Foley, I heard him say time and again, you are the speaker of the House. There were only two — he was a great historian, scholar. He said, there are only two offices that are defined in the Constitution, the president of the United States and the speaker of the House.
And he said, you're not speaker of a party. And he wasn't. He was always — he would — Bob Michel, who was the Republican leader, was a good friend. He would go to Bob Michel's office for meetings, which is, in the protocol of Washington, not done. You come to the president or you come to the speaker.
And he was just a — he believed in the institution. I was thinking, in terms of substance, there were three individuals who were responsible for food stamps and the nutrition plan in this country that, according to the Census Bureau, lifted four million Americans above poverty level last year. And they were Bob Dole, Republican from Kansas, George McGovern, Democrat from South Dakota, and Tom Foley, who was the House — chairman of the House Agriculture Committee.
Those were the — I guess, to the critics, the unholy trinity, but they were the three people who made a difference. He was really an exceptional American and exceptional public servant.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And that was a bipartisan…
MARK SHIELDS: It surely was.
JUDY WOODRUFF: … group.
David, his death comes just two days after this — the end of this — I don't know what we want to call it, Armageddon, the week that — two, three weeks that swallowed Washington.
What are we left with after all this?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, we're left with people unlike Tom Foley.
He was also an institutionalist.
MARK SHIELDS: That's right.
DAVID BROOKS: He was a lifer. He was on the staff of Scoop Jackson, the senator from Washington State, who was sort of a hawkish, centrist Democrat.
And he was someone who was committed to some — well, the institution as something that would transcend generations, and he was just the temporary steward of that. That mentality is not so much in evidence these days. And I think what we're left with, with the pointless Armageddon, if you want to put it that way, is a Republican Party wondering, and the Democrats looking at the Republican Party and wondering.
Democrats are feeling pretty good. Republicans are not feeling good. And the question is, is the Republican Party going to change? Will what I would call the reality caucus take back control of the party? And I am more optimistic than most that the people who do believe in the basic functions of legislation, including Mitch McConnell, are finally fed up.
And they have always been fed up privately, but whether they actually have the courage of their convictions has been in doubt until now. I think they're beginning to get that courage. And I think, outside the donor class, all those people are deciding, we need some institutions to match the Tea Party institutions. So I think you're beginning to see some kernels of change.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Do you have the same optimism about what David is calling the reality caucus?
MARK SHIELDS: I'm not sure, Judy.
I just think all the energy, all the passion, all the intensity is with the Tea Party and conservative army within the Republican Party. Yes, Republicans agree that the party has to change, but a solid majority of them believes they have to be more conservative. That's the change they should do.
If you're a Tea Party member, you know the party's lost five of the last six popular elections, popular vote national elections. And you sit there and you say, well, we nominated John McCain in 2008. He was a bipartisan guy, he was a reformer, a maverick. He lost. We nominated Mitt Romney in 2012. He was a blue state governor, and he lost. We won once in the past four elections. That was in 2010. We won 63 seats because we stood unabashedly and unambiguously conservative. And, my goodness, that's why.
And I just think that's a strong — David's right. There is a — among the leadership, the establishment of the party, the donors, you know, we have got to do something about this.
But I just think the energy and the intensity and the passion, the people who are going to stuff envelopes, make calls, go door to door, drive people to polls, I think, are with the conservatives at this point.
JUDY WOODRUFF: What do you think happens to those folks who — who tried so hard to defund Obamacare, defund health care law, who really wanted more out of this confrontation than they got? What happens to them?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, they will have to figure it out. They — they're putting on a brave face today, but they were so legislatively incompetent.
Competence does essentially matter. They started a fight they couldn't win, there was no possibility of winning, and they marched the party into disaster. So, can they really be unaware of that? Certainly, the rest of the party isn't unaware of that.
If they hadn't done this, we would have spent the last week talking about how badly the Obamacare website is rolling out. Sarah Kliff made that earlier — that point earlier on in the program. And so this was a colossal blunder.
If I were President Obama, what I would do right now to test this proposition, I would go full-bore on immigration. If the — well, I will keep calling them the reality caucus. If they can retake control, then they will pass something like what the Senate passed, and President Obama will have a big substantive victory.
If the energy is on the Tea Party side, and they can't pass anything, then they will have further marginalized themselves, and the president will have a great political victory. And so, to me, this is the opportunity to test the proposition whether the Republican Party can change or not. Immigration is the issue.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And this is one of the issues, Mark, he mentioned yesterday…
MARK SHIELDS: He did.
JUDY WOODRUFF: … besides the budget and the farm bill.
MARK SHIELDS: That's right.
I mean, I think, Judy, looking at the Democrats right now, you had the — two of the most authoritative observers of congressional elections, Stu Rothenberg, who has appeared on this broadcast this week with Susan Page and you, but Charlie Cook of The Cook Report moved 14 seats toward the Democrats this week, not from the Republican to Democrat, but in the Democrats' direction.
Well, if you're sitting there as a Democrat, you're saying, wait a minute, I want more than this. I mean, I really want — going into 2014, David and I have questioned whether they could win the majority. I think there is an outside chance, maybe an even growing outside chance, the Democrats could. So…
JUDY WOODRUFF: You mean try to show them up? Is that what you're saying?
MARK SHIELDS: That's right, I mean, try to encourage — what we had, we didn't have a peace treaty this week, I mean, a pullback. We had a cease-fire in the political wars.
And it's only for 90 days. And I just think that probably, if anything, strengthens the other side. Don't forget, Mitch McConnell, Thad Cochran in Mississippi, Lamar Alexander, they all have primary challenges.
JUDY WOODRUFF: These are all Republican senators.
MARK SHIELDS: These are Republican senators running for reelection.
So, you know, I think that there's a chance that, quite to the contrary, we may see the Democrats encouraging the Tea Party group to engage.
DAVID BROOKS: Well, if I were a Democrat, I would have an evil impulse to spend the next two years just destroying the Republican Party.
MARK SHIELDS: Aren't you glad you're not a Democrat for your evil impulse?
DAVID BROOKS: I remain pure for that reason.
DAVID BROOKS: But I would just say, pick one wedge issue after another, an issue in which the Tea Party just tears apart the Republican Party, and then really they will nominate Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, and they will carry three counties in Mississippi.
MARK SHIELDS: But you heard Tom Foley in that interview with Jim Lehrer saying, how often can a speaker bring to the floor something where the majority of his party is opposed to it?
John Boehner, after all of this, standing at the precipice, about to plunge over, to send the country into default, only one-third of his entire caucus supported the resolution and the compromise crafted by the Senate. I don't know on — I don't think on immigration, you have got even close to one-third, do you, of the Republican Party?
DAVID BROOKS: No, not right now. It would take some change.
MARK SHIELDS: No.
DAVID BROOKS: I think, though, on the budget, if we have got a couple more — not too far, we're going to be in another budget fight — I think there's a pretty good chance that they will have some sort of deal.
I think the Republicans are not going to make the same mistake again. They will invent some new ones. And — but I think what they will do is, they will find a deal. And the deal will look like something like this, where they have some modest entitlement reform, Medicare, some little modest things…
JUDY WOODRUFF: Right.
DAVID BROOKS: … and then what they call buy back the sequester, which is to increase domestic spending, which Democrats want to do, and then also some corporate tax loophole closing.
JUDY WOODRUFF: But you do think the Republicans are going to agree to revenue increases?
DAVID BROOKS: They are not going to do this again so soon. I just can't believe that they're going to want to have a confrontation.
MARK SHIELDS: Boy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: You're making a face.
MARK SHIELDS: Well, I would be — I would be, frankly, surprised.
I don't see that kind of willingness. I'm happy the regular order is established, that we are having a conference of the House and the Senate and the respective Budget Committees. I think that's progress, but I'm not as — this courtship, I don't think is going to produce this beautiful child.
DAVID BROOKS: I am reminded again of the fact that I'm the one who predicted there wouldn't be a shutdown because Republicans wouldn't be that stupid.
JUDY WOODRUFF: We have spared you — reminding either one of you of what you predicted.
How did Speaker Boehner come out of this?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, if his job to keep the Republican Party in high national poll ratings, not so well.
If his job was to stay speaker and try to minimize the damage, then I think he did pretty well, actually. He will probably, I think — we have differed over there. I think there's no really alternative. I think he sort of did what he had to do for the Tea Party people and he showed he could fight with them.
And I think, at the end of the day, he did minimize what would have been a complete disaster of the default.
MARK SHIELDS: The party is at its lowest point. The Republican brand is discredited. I don't — he's seen as the leader by Republicans.
The Republican Party sees as its two national leaders right now, according to the most recent Pew poll, John Boehner and Ted Cruz. I mean, those are the two leading figures. So, if that's the case, it's — there's not a very good shepherd at this point.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Affordable health care, you touched on this a minute ago, David.
To the extent this is one of the president's major initiatives of his administration, a lot of problems so far. What are we to make of the fact that we're a month in, and it's still having these problems?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, they got really good people to run the Web site. They got a backup team to test the thing called the red team. And they still messed it up.
And so what does that tell us? I think it tells us that government is not a business. Government does some things very well, but businesses have long traditions and a set of incentive structures to do things like Web pages. The stock exchanges have very sophisticated exchanges, which they can do, because they just have the institutions.
I don't think government is fantastic about this. And so I suspect at the end of the day, they may fix this, but we should be suspicious of the idea of some big national exchange. If they can't do this, why should we think we should have national exchanges? And I think we should be suspicious they're going to do some of the other parts of the exchange down the road.
MARK SHIELDS: It's been glitch upon glitch upon problem upon problem. It's been nothing but headaches.
I think, in the final analysis, Americans will be practical and that is, does it work? But the early returns are not encouraging by any means, and not confidence-building. But we will find out a year from now whether, in fact, the program has worked, whether what was promised has been delivered.
But, right now, when you have got states like Hawaii and Oregon, which are most friendly to this kind of an initiative, still unable to provide the kind of basic service and basic applications we're looking for, it's pretty discouraging.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, if you're President Obama, you're hoping something gets fixed?
DAVID BROOKS: You're really angry if you're President Obama. You feel you should have been told about this. You should have had some rational expectations of how complicated this was going to be, and you're beating people up to try to fix it.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we're not going to beat either one of the two of you up.
JUDY WOODRUFF: We're just so glad to have you with us.
David Brooks, Mark Shields, thank you both.

Childbirth Brain Injuries Caused by Medical Malpractice
Childbirth is often a time filled with excitement, anticipation and anxiety. Parents are eager to meet their child but understandably concerned about labor and delivery. One of the concerns is that the baby will be born with a brain injury. Occasionally, a brain injury is an unavoidable, yet tragic, consequence of childbirth. However, many times a childbirth brain injury could have been avoided and the injury occurs because a doctor, nurse or hospital committed medical malpractice.
While parents mourn the life that their child could have had but for the medical negligence that caused the brain injury they must also prepare for the reality of their child's future. Their child's lifetime care and expenses may be greater than the family can afford and the family may want to hold the people who caused the injuries responsible so that other children are not hurt in the future.
Medical Malpractice
In most jurisdictions, the parent of a child who suffers a brain injury during childbirth has standing to sue on the child's behalf. Every jurisdiction has a statute of limitations and the lawsuit must be filed in court before the expiration of the statute of limitations. Therefore, it is important to seek the counsel of an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible after you learn of your child's injuries.
In order to recover damages in a medical malpractice lawsuit, a plaintiff must be able to prove that:
- The defendant had a duty of care to the child. A doctor, nurse, midwife, hospital or birthing center has a duty of care to your child when you use their services for childbirth;
- The defendant breached the duty of care to the child. A defendant breaches its duty of care to the child if the defendant fails to act like a reasonable person would have acted given the circumstances. For example, if a reasonable obstetrician would have performed a Cesarean section and your doctor did not do so and lacked a medical reason for not doing so then the obstetrician may have breached his duty of care to your child;
- The defendant's breach of the duty of care caused the child's injuries: Your child's injuries must have happened because of the defendant's actions (or inactions). In other words your child would not have suffered the brain injury but for the defendant's actions; and
- The plaintiff is entitled to damages pursuant to state law: If you are successful in proving the above three elements of medical malpractice then you are likely entitled to damages pursuant to state law.
Possible Damages
Possible damages in a childbirth brain injury medical malpractice lawsuit include compensation for past and future medical bills, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, projected living expenses for the child who is unlikely to be able to support himself in adulthood because of the injuries and lost income if a parent is unable to work due to the demands of caring for a child with a brain injury. In some cases, courts may also award punitive damages against the defendant.
Childbirth brain injuries forever change the life of a family. While damages cannot undo the harm that was caused nor give the child the opportunities that the child may have had if he or she had not been injured, financial damages can give a family the resources to provide the necessary care for the child and hold the defendant accountable for medical malpractice.

The South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology (SAIO) and the Sight for All (SFA) Foundation have presented ophthalmic equipment worth nearly US$52,000 to the Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology (VNIO).
Speaking at the donation ceremony in Hanoi on April 9, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Xuyen emphasized that in recent years, the ophthalmologic sector, and particularly VNIO, have made great strides in eye care and treatment thanks to the significant support it has received from the Ministry of Health and international organizations, including the SAIO and SFA. These gifts are very meaningful for Vietnamese eye patients.
Xuyen said she hopes that eye care and blindness prevention prorgammes in Vietnam will continue to receive support from the international community in the future.
Michael Hammerton, an SAIO doctor said it is difficult to detect some eye diseases early and provide timely treatment for patients without modern equipment. The SAIO is presenting this gift of equipment to VNIO with the aim ò improving the quality of communal eye care services.
SAIO has recently sent a number of experts and doctors to work with Vietnamese colleagues and help train Vietnamese eye doctors and nurses, especially in the field of pediatric ophthalmology.
The Australian ambassador to Vietnam, Allaster Cox, said eye care and blindness prevention is very important. The modern equipment donated by the SAIO will help improve the efficiency of eye care services, thereby contributing to raising lthe quality of life for local people. He added that the gift also demonstrates the close cooperation between Australia and Vietnam.
According to VNIO Director Do Nhu Hon, VNIO and SAIO have carried out a number of cooperative activities since September 2010, including training doctors, conducting research and organizing seminars.
In the future, both sides will continue boosting cooperation in training, technology transfer, scientific research and communal eye care.

For Christmas my wonderful girlfriend bought me a unit of Avantgarde and a unit of Light Brunswickers. I am starting off with the Light Battalion, the 1st Light (cannot resist painting pink on the black uniforms) and have come to a painting impasse. I do not have any books for this unit so I have been looking around the internet. From some of the available pictures it appears that the pom pom on their shako was yellow over blue, where the Life and Line Battalions had blue over yellow. Was this used to denote them as light?
Also it looks like their haversacks were gray (Greatcoat Grey – P3), canteens were blue (Prussian Blue?) and their packs were brown (Brown Leather – VMC). What was the color of the mess kit looking thing on the top of the pack that is strapped to it?

Spinach and Lemon Rice Pilaf
Recipe by Semra22
Great side dish for roast or grilled chicken, grilled steak or fish. The vegetables and lemon give a wonderful fresh garden taste. You can vary the amounts of the veggies to your taste. I use just a little more rice to stock than usual as I prefer a slightly drier pilaf.
Top Review by Derf2440
This rice pilaf is just excellant! we love it , it had a lot of flavour with the carrots, spinach and lemon and a nice presentation colour. Since i used canned chicken stock I did not add salt, I used brown rice and olive oil instead of butter, had to leave the green onion out had none in. i made a full recipe because i love having rice in the freezer ready to reheat on a busy night, glad I did, it is some of the best I've made.

STORY NO.1Disgraceful soft sex with my cousin
This is not exaggeration, this is based on my story of 1993. I feel
ashamed, cause she my cousin sister. I shouldn't have done this to
her. I am from South Tamil Nadu.
It was in my semester vacation of my first year, and she was studying
Ninth Std. It all started from this point, in the night before my
sister's marriage, she looked as if an angel. She is a medium
complexion, but...but really beautiful mean it. She was wearing silk
blow and the bottom (pattu pavadai). I was instructed to look after
the kids who were playing on the Marriage's hall terrace. I saw my
cousin sister playing with these kids. The kids were all below 8
years. She came to me and we started chatting about our school,
teachers, friends & teachers (I believe, that's the topic I can
debate with my cousin sister). In the moon shine, I was magnetized by
her physically maturity glooming out of her silk dress, her magnetic
eye, magical smile, her makeup and costumes carved the novel picture
of Cinderella in my heart. I also noticed her boobs bubbling to new
heights. This was the first occasion I am talking to lonely for about
45 minutes.
And that was from the day we both had mutual attraction, and started
glancing each other. After a few days.. the solitary time arose. My
parents & her parents left to Madras for 3 days to attend a marriage
function. My Cousin sister and my grandma were left behind, and they
came to my house for the stay. (they live in another house opposite
to my house).
That night, my grandma has gone to sleep [my grandma usually sleep in
open veranda (for fresh air) and we usually lock the door inside). We
were alone watching the TV, (the TV is in the main bed room). She was
sitting in the sofa & I was lying in the bed watching TV. It was a
Love Story! I was shy watching the movie with her (ofcouse she is my
sister) and purposefully went out to kitchen (to drink water) to
unnoticing the love scenes. But she was so cool girl looking as if
she is unaware of Love.
It was around 11.30 pm, she made herself comfortable to sleep down
(side by my cot). After 15 minutes I switched off the TV and the bed
room light to went to bed. At midst of darkness I could'nt really
sleep, Some thing inside me ignited to have love with her. After long
thoughts I made my mind to have a love affair with her....
I stated with a gargle mmuuueee, twice, thrice. I was heartbeaten,
she replied with the cough. I understood that is not asleep and she
is of the same intension. In order to conform, I coughed and she
gargled. That the final sign I was waiting for. I approach her with
my hands (As I told you, she was sleep on the floor besides my cot).
I first put my hand out of my bed and slowly and steadily crawled my hands to her from my bed (I never made an attempt to peed from my
bed, all my hands did)....I was about to touch her......and and was
shaken by her meekly voice, "didn't get sleep??". I immediately took
my hand and my mind was boggling to death. I said ""I couldn't". She
raised up her knees leaning to the bed, and said "Let me make you
She started, she started....She was on her knees leaning on the bed,
and I was lying on the bed, she reached my right hand and placed my
palm on her cheek. My heart started pounding and my vain pumping out.
We were motionless for minutes. Slowly she whispered
Sleep...Sleep...rubbing her cheek against my palm. I was relaxed by
her love whisper and slowly fingered her cheek. After fingering for
about 2 minutes, I slowly took my handoff her Cheek and hold her
shoulder to rise up her knees. At last words came from my
mouth "Sleep with me" !!. She did as I said and lay besides me on my
bed. For a few minutes we were motionless, suddenly she tightened my
hand with hers and placed it on her belly. I made up mind not to
waste time anymore.... I crawled my hand to her boobs, she was
holding my hand tightly and never let me press it. She guided my hand
to her face and I started tickling her ears. I can hear her Sex
ecstasy voice mmmmm..mmmmm.
I was half way on her, and started with a smooch. She lost her
control and hold my hair tightly and never let me take my lips. I
reached her tongue with mine, and she gave a bite. I kissed her all
over her face, and so did she. I started to invade her boobs and this
time she let me play, kiss and mouth. We were hugging and spinning
each other rolling all over the bed, kissing each other. She was
wearing skirt & tops, I started unzipping her tops, and she was much
co-operative turning her back for unzipping. We kneed on the bed and
she raised her hand to take off her tops. As did to her, she did the
same to take off t-shirt.
Still on the knees, I could never resist and started hugging kissing
her boobs and around. When she whispered my name and hold my buttocks
tightly to hers, as my hard pennies touched her she was jolted, and
hold my buttocks still tighter and reached my neck hugging with hers.
When it was on the go, I slowly put my hands into her buttocks and
slowly lowered her skirt. She suddenly realized and refrained me
doing so. She was still half dressed in her petticoat (Slips) and I
removed it. The hand full of breast standing stiff and erect
astonished me. We hugged in bare body and I realized the heat of her
body in me.
I dragged my tongue all over her face, arm pit and boobs. She was so
curious and hold my back hair and guide me from her boobs to belly.
She was agonized by the tickle of belly. I went down licking and
reached her toes. I stated going back kissing her legs, thighs.I
raised her Skirts and kissed her thighs and started my prime journey (in side the skirt) towards the treasure of cunt. She was again
jolted, but as she felt inconvenience with her skits, she immediately
unbuckled her skirt and took off through her head.
No word can explain her sexual exposure in her panties, in the
darkness. I camped my kisses and licks in and around her panties, and
I never let come out of it. She realized that I would never leave the
area, with out stripping her panties and making her nude. She never
wants to do so. She raised and turned me down and started kissing me
from top to bottom. I wasn't shy when she tried to remove my lungi.I
am nude before my sister, she was very shy to look at my nudeness in
fade lights. When she was probing to touch my pennies, I voluntarily
took her hands and lead her to touch my hard pennies. She made a
feather touch, and my penies shooted up, and I whispered haaaaa...
She understood I am getting high and slowly tightened her grip. I was
so high that I hold her head down to my pennies to acquired a kiss
voluntarily. She then stated her kisses around my pennies and balls.
She was on the go..goo.. I hold her hair back and hold my pennies and
started trusting it into her mouth. As she was immature and innocent
in sex, she started with a rough work, teething my pennies, which
pained my a lot. I was rather much curious to have an intercourse and
trusted my hard pennies between her legs. Our legs unlocked tightly,
our body twisted, hands twisted around and kisses on her neck. She
lost her control, when I kissed her neck area, she murmured
mmmmmmmmmmm.. I realized that this is the golden chance to undress
her last panties. I never missed the moment she was feeling the
heaven and let me bring down her last piece of dress "the panties". A
real mystery of nudity ends here.
I spread her legs with mine and trusted my hardest pennies in to her
cunt, I was unsuccessful, because both were virgins and 'New Lads to
Sex'. Patently, I split in my hand and applied in my pennies to
lubricate the passage. She hold my pennies and guiding into her
passage. I trusted my pennies with a vigor to reach inside. After an
many unsuccessful attempts at last my pennies reached deep inside the
hole she shouted of pain. I immediate smooched her to stop shouting.
She started biting my mouth deeply of pain and I was more generous
let her do. After a stand still silence of inserted pennies, I
gradually started moving my buttocks in and out.
As she her cunt was too tight for my pennies, She murmured "enough
enough". I never let her go for 5 minutes and keep pumping out. Not
able to withstand the pain she pushed me down her and relived
herself. That's the day She rushed to the bathroom and never came out
for 15 minutes. Not able to control, I knocked the bathroom, she
said "enough I want to sleep". I understood and collected her scatted
dresses and handed it to her in the bathroom. By then she came out of
the barroom dressed up I understood the play was over. We did not
speak to each other and went to sleep. The next night was the same old story, but both were in a relaxed
mood to exchange sex. She strictly told me that I can do what ever I
want, but not intercourse (dick inside her cunt), cause she was
afraid that there may be a high risk of pregnancy. I accepted and
from then we had a very good Soft Sex. I use to finger her cunt and
fuck her and She fuck me, masturbate me and eject the sperms to her
On the whole we would have had Soft Sex for about a dozen times, for
just 2 year. We stopped every thing after she went to college. I
think that is the full stop for my filthy sex life with my cousin
sister. I some times feel bad to have sexed my Cousin Sister I really
feel ashamed of myself. Past is Past But this will be an ever lasing
shadow on the dark side of my Moon.
nice...more plzzz
welcome friends !!!! i will post 2nd sexy story today , all of you can enjoy it !!!!
Ladies Hostel
My name is Mamta this is my true story, I want share with girls that are like me. I left my village for my studies, as I'm a brilliant student and I got admission in engineering. The college is far from my village, so I had to get a place in a ladies hostel. I got a room with three beds so I had to share with two other girls. Out of the two girls one girl is new like me and the other is a senior.
I was very tired with the journey, and felt very uncomfortable as it was a new place. I washed my face and started changing into a nightie. I felt that the senior girl Sharmila was looking very curiously at me, and smiling.
I felt shy as I'm a beautiful girl 19 years old fair, 5'6 height, 56kg weight and very big 38 size breast that are firm with dark brown nipples and pointed tits, with a good shape that can attract even the girls. My belly is round, deep and big and I have a round beautiful ass, long legs and good thighs, I removed my salwar kameez and I was wearing only a bra, which can't cover my big boobs.
Sharmila, a 20 year old stunner, passed a comment on how beautiful I was, which I received with smile.
Like all other collages in India in my collage also there was a ragging problem. At around 10pm at night, a group of six girls came to my room and shut the door behind them. They are seniors and have been here a couple of years and are in the final year of studying.
First they caught the other new girl who and asked all sorts of personal questions. Then Sharmila introduced me to the girls. One of the girls asked me about my bra size. I felt shy and awkward at such a question.
Grasping the opportunity another girl squeezed my breasts and said
"Wow, they feel wonderful".
All other girls asked me to take of my nightie. I was helpless and I had obey there order, and take off my nightie. I was wearing pink color bra and panties which were very suitable for my color. Sharmila asked me to take off my bra. I refused but one girl pulled my bra and yanked it releasing my gorgeous boobs.
One girl pulled my panties, and all of them saw my clean shaved pussy, with long lips.
"Nice cunt" one girl passed the comment.
They asked me to masturbate for them, to which I refused.
"Tho kiske saat choodwayegi" (So you wanna fuck with us?) one other girl asked.
I got annoyed and swore, "Fuck you bitch".
She slapped me hard on my face and said "saali tere gand chodhungi" (Bitch ill fuck you in your ass).
She then stripped herself and I saw her naked flesh. She is a beautiful 22 year old girl, with 34 size boobs with black nipples. Her unshaved pussy had silky long pubic hair.
She pushed me on to the bed. I was confused, unable to understand what was happening. She started kissing me on my lips and I started to protest.
Sharmila also took off her dress and started squeezing my nipples. The other girls also stripped and wanted to get in on the action.
The girl started kissing me deeply with her tongue in my mouth. One girl started sucking my nipple and some others started licking my thighs. My body becomes so light, and I got the feeling like I was flying. That was my first kiss and I cooperated to that girl by opening my mouth, and she got more from me.
I was lying on the bed naked with all of the other girls around me with there naked bodies. I felt so hot that I started sweating. One girl started smelling underneath my arms, and started licking my right breast and another girl from left. Two girls shared my thighs and one girl started licking my wet pussy.
I wanted to be fucked by someone. And I asked the girls to fuck me. They took the promise that I will keep open my wet pussy for them, to fuck any time, and asked me to choose any of them as it's my first experience. All of them are beautiful, but I choose Priya. She is really a rare beauty, fair long dark hair, 5.5" height 36 size perfect breast with brown nipple, deep belly and sweet horny cont, with light silky hair. All of the others appreciated my selection, and asked me to open my legs so that they can lick my pussy for that day. After squeezing my breast and ass, all having taken kisses from me, they took the new girl to lick there pussy's.
Myself, Priya and Sharmila were left alone in the room and we had sex all night. We licked each others pussies all night. We had multiple orgasms throughout the night.
Sharmila bought her sex toys out of the cupboard for us to use. I used the anal beads on Priya making her scream and cream. Sharmila used a 12 inch dildo on me and made me cum.
I found a double ended dildo that I had always fantasized about using. Sharmila helped me and Priya to get in the sitting position and inserted the dildo into our wet pussies. She told us to wrap our legs around each other and start pushing the dildo into each other. We both came simultaneously.
Sharmila strapped on a 9 inch dildo around her waist and got both me and Priya to suck it. Priya bent me over the bed and she lay on her back on top of me. Sharmila entered Priya's pussy and after a few jerks took the strap-on out of Priya's pussy and inserted it into my wet pussy. She did this for around twenty minutes fucking us and not letting us cum. She kept pulling out of us just as we were about to cum. When Priya did eventually cum, all her juices came gushing into my asshole.
Priya got off me and started licking her juices from my asshole. I felt dirty that she was tonguing my backdoor. As I was about to cum I heard Sharmila say to Priya shall I take her up her Gaand (Asshole). Priya replied that she was lubed up, ready and waiting.
I was shocked as Sharmila put the head of the cock at my asshole entrance. I started protesting but to no avail. Priya had got hold of my arms and had pinned me down. Sharmila started to force the cock up my ass. Priya whispered into my ear that I was going to enjoy it. I had never taken a cock in my ass before and it hurt.
Sharmila got the head of the cock up my ass and started jerking with force and within a couple of thrusts she had all nine inches up my ass. I was screaming and crying as the pain was intense. Sharmila grabbed a handful of my hair and jerked my head back. It hurt even more as she applied more pressure. Priya was twisting and pinching my nipples causing more sensation to my body. A couple of minutes later I came, with a scream.
Sharmila said to me that from now on I am her bitch and she can do anything to me and that I will have to obey her.
Molesting A Girl In The Bus
Hi guys,I read your comments on jacking in the bus.I showed this to my
mother who has been a victim of sexual abuse quite a few times in the
crowded buses of Chennai.Here is my mother's first hand experience
which she narrated to me
"Let me first introduce myself.I am a working woman , 42 years old
and have been married for about 9 years now and am based in
Chennai. I am working for a reputed travel agency and enjoy my work
quite a lot. I am considered ambitious , attractive and have a well
maintained figure of 36-25-35 of which I am obviously proud of.
One evening I had to work a little late at work and as a result missed
my chartered bus to return home. Also no autorickshaws were available
and having no alternative , I had to queue up to take a public MTC bus
home to near Janakpuri. It was already 07.30 p.m . I was traveling in a
MTC bus after a very long time and felt awkward standing in the
crowded queue. After about 15 minutes the bus arrived , which was
already very crowded.(typical of all Chennai buses) and I boarded the
bus having no other choice as the journey was almost an hour to
home . The bus was totally jam packed and after buying my ticket , I
managed to push my way though to stand in the rear / middle of the
bus. I was generally irritated, to be traveling in this crowd , but
resigned myself to the long drive. After a while , I felt something
brush against my bottom and I casually glanced behind to notice a
middle aged person of about 50 plus standing behind me, with a
shoulder " Jolla" / sling bag .He too appeared stuck in the crowd. I
again felt something brush against my bottom and I realized it was this
old man' s hand resting on the " jolla" bag . However , after a few
minutes, he brushed his hand a couple of more times and then very
casually lets his hand lightly rest on my sari on my buttocks - palm
outwards . I was a little taken aback, but decided to ignore it then --- it
is a crowded bus and this could be a mistake - however after a few
minutes I felt his hand begin to slowly move and lightly caress my
buttocks --. I was surprised further and now wondered what to do -
this was quite an obvious and deliberate act and I looked around to
move away , but there was no place to move in the crowded and
cramped bus --- at the same time I was very uncertain and nervous to
create a scene. I then decided to ignore it and also reasoned to
myself that till what extent could he possibly try anything ----, what
with so many people around and that too in a public place to. I was
stuck in my present position. After a few minutes, the old man,
gradually become bolder -- he was now slowly and more firmly
caressing my bottom and sensing my nervousness and dilemma and
lack of resistance on my part , begin to now cup my buttocks. I was
really stunned by this and very surprised by his boldness and glanced
behind and around me to see if anybody had noticed - Nobody else in
the crowded bus was aware of what was going on and the old man
himself was immediately behind me with a very indifferent and
innocent expression. and I undecided on what to do now, with no space to move away, did not resist . Seeing no protest from me, the
old man , now began to now squeeze and knead my buttocks and
cup each one. He put his hand on the crack of my buttocks and was
now very confidently squeezing each bum. I glanced at the other
passengers and no one else was looking at us and were totally unaware
of this happening. Given the lack of space to move away I did not
protest and allowed him to continue --- The old man was pretty
encouraged and, through the saree was now feeling the outline of my
panty and then with a finger , tried to slide it under the panty so that he
could feel the softness of my buttocks better. Inspire of myself I could
feel a little thrill about the whole thing. Letting a strange man touch me
in my intimate areas . He now moved his hand to the lower portion of
my buttocks and begin to push his finger directly on my anus to now
press softly, but urgently on it ---- . I was absolutely stunned by his
boldness and inspire of myself, was getting aroused. by his acts. None
of the other passengers were aware of this and the old man, himself
had a very indifferent and bored look ( while his hands were busy on
my buttocks ). He was now urgently rubbing his hand over the crack of
my buttocks and then pushing his hand and fingers directly onto my
asshole as if to push his hand / finger in. The initial soft caresses of the
beginning were now replaced by heavy and confident squeezing and
kneading of my buttocks. I was getting turned on by this intimate act in
a public bus. He had realized, that I will not protest, and he moved his
hand lower to my side, to caress my legs and thighs and feel their
smoothness and firmness and then gradually bought it back to rotate all
over my buttocks . At that stage, I leant forward to look outside the
window to see if my bus stop was coming , and he then sensing the
opportunity , swiftly, from behind , put his hand between my legs to
now rub my directly on my vagina, this was too much -- a strange man
was rubbing my cunt now. After a few moments removed his hand,
and then stood directly, behind me and begin to rub his hard erection ,
through his trousers on my buttocks and with each jerk of the bus,
would thrust hard against me . Nervously, I looked around and no one in
the crowd was even looking at us. I suddenly found his hand on my
exposed waist and caressing it and holding me for a grip, and was in a
slow rhythm along with the bus movement, stroking and rubbing and
thrusting hard cock on my buttocks --- In the crowded bus no one was
aware of this and I was pretty excited by then and enjoyed the
hardness of his cock on my buttocks , to slowly also move to push
backwards to meet each hard thrust or rub of his. This was like
simulated lovemaking - I was literally being fucked by a total stranger
and that too standing in a crowded public bus ---- and none of the
other co- passengers realized this erotic act right in their midst.
My stop was fast approaching and I turned to move forward , and he
then quickly , moved one hand forward to place it totally upon my
vagina from the front and rubbed it hard. While I turned , he then
gripped my hand tightly and moved it to place it on the front of his
trousers for me to feel the hardness of his erection -- It really was
rock hard and I then quickly moved forward and got off at my stop. I glanced behind and saw he was still in the bus.
I was pretty surprised on this experience --- In a crowded public bus ,
a strange man had deliberately and intimately touched my private
parts ---- caressed , squeezed , cupped , kneaded my buttocks and
fingered my arsehole and I had let him to do so and nobody else in the
bus was aware of this lustful act . He rubbed his erect cock on my
buttocks , rubbed my cunt -- I could not help myself from being highly
aroused by this encounter and admitted to myself that I had enjoyed
it..The whole thing would have lasted not more than 20 -25 minutes."

This invention relates to devices for moving human bodies from one flat surface to another, and particularly relates to such devices intended to be used to transfer reclining human patients from a bed to a gurney, from a gurney to an examining table, or from a gurney to a bed, with the patient lying flat during the transfer.
Hospital wards and emergency rooms, medical clinics, and nursing homes all have occasion for transferring a reclining patient from one flat surface to another. Typical instances of patient transfer include transfer from a bed to a gurney, from a gurney to an examining table, and from a gurney to a bed. Such transfers have been assisted by the provision of a thin, smooth, flat polyethylene transfer board which can be slid beneath a patient and then pulled from one flat surface to the other. Typically, such transfer boards are provided in a width approximating the width of a typical patient and with hand holes suitable for gripping when pulling the patient-loaded board from one flat surface to another.
In making a transfer from a bed to a gurney, by way of example, nursing staff must align the two flat surfaces side-by-side (bed and gurney), stand adjacent to the gurney, reach across the gurney and grip the patient-loaded board through the hand holes on the board, and pull the board off of the bed and across the gurney surface until the board is centered on the gurney. The person pulling the transfer board must lean over the gurney to initially reach the board and thereby exposes his/her back to excessive strain; a position of both poor posture and severe mechanical disadvantage for performing the task safely. The person pulling the transfer board risks injury to his/her neck and shoulders as well as to the back when pulling in a forwardly bent and off-balance position such as this.
In an attempt to alleviate the arm, shoulder and back strain on a worker performing this type of transfer, it has been proposed that straps be looped through the transfer board hand holes to minimize the reach when transferring patients. However, using such strap loops, places the worker in a relatively weak pulling posture in that when the loaded sled is being pulled and moves closer to the worker, there is not chance for the worker to adjust the length of the loop for maximum leverage in completing the transfer. (The overal distance that the sled must move is greater than the average length of the human arm, so one full length pull would result in the worker's arms being at the end of the pull, but the transfer requires more than a full length pull.) Use of such strap loops, also causes the worker to grip the loops and requires the worker to pull with both arms absolutely uniformly to balance the forces between the worker's arms. Typically, the worker will not pull in a balanced manner with the result that one arm/shoulder or the other bears a greater portion of the pulling load to insure that the patient-loaded board is transferred evenly onto the target surface.
It is an object of the patient transfer device of this invention to provide a means whereby a human body may be slid from one surface to another while allowing the worker to maintain proper and safer body mechanics while performing this type of transfer. It is another object of this invention to provide such a transfer device that enables a worker to employ a palms-up or palms-down power grip using a cylinder grasp in which the thumb is used and the entire hand wraps around a firm object being pulled on. It is another object of this invention to provide the worker with an efficient method of adjusting leverage over pulling the loaded thransfer device. It is still another object of this invention to provide a pulling interface between a transfer sled and a worker that will balance the pulling forces on the sled even if the worker does not pull from the most desirable location relative to the sled.
A transfer device for a human body, according to the present invention, comprises sled means and detachable handle means wherein said sled means comprises a transfer board adapted to receive a human body, the transport board having two sides and two transverse ends, and a plurality of fastener means mounted to the transfer board along the sides thereof. The handle means comprises an elongated grip bar, and an elongated tension bar, a plurality of strap means connecting the grip bar and the tension bar whereby the relative distance between the grip bar and the tension bar may be adjusted, and a plurality of fastener means mounted to the tension bar and so constructed and arranged as to be conjoinable with the transfer board fastener means on at least one side of the transfer board. The grip bar, and preferably the tension bar, is fabricated of a relatively flexible material whereby pulling force exerted by a worker using the transfer device will be dissipated from the worker's arm and shoulders. The strap means are preferably wrapped around the grip bar and the tension bar and fastened thereto, and the handle means fasteners means are preferably mounted by the strap means and oriented outward from said handle means for interfitting with the transfer board fastener means. The transfer board preferably comprises a bottom surface material fabricated of a sheet of plastic and a foam plastic cushion pad with the transfer board fastener means being mounted by the transfer board such that there are transfer board fastener means oriented outward from both sides of the transfer board for interfitting with the handle means fastener means.
These and other objects and advantages will become apparent from a reading of the following description of the invention and claims.

FIG. 8 is a top view of the construction of the sled cover;
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional detail of the FIG. 9 cover illustrating its connection to the bottom of the sled.
With reference to FIGS. 1, the transfer device of this invention is illustrated in connection with a worker moving a patient from one bed to another. FIG. 2 illustrates the FIG. 1 transfer device by itself, with no body in position. Hereinafter, the invention is described in connection with its preferred use as a patient transfer device, it being understood that the transfer device is also suitable for use in transferring human bodies, in general, from one surface to another surface, including use in funeral homes and mortuaries.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the transfer device of this invention comprises a sled means 10 and a handle means 12. The sled means 10 comprises a generally rectangular, relatively thin and flat-surfaced transfer board 20. Transfer board 20 has two parallel sides and two transverse ends. Each side is provided with a plurality of loops 22 which conjoin with fasteners 24 of the handle means. Loops 22 may be spaced equidistantly from the transverse ends along the sides of the transfer board 20 as shown in FIG. 2.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, handle means 12 comprises a grip bar 26, a tension bar 28, and a plurality of straps 30 which are attached to the grip and tension bars as shown. The ends of the straps 30 are wrapped around the bar 26,28 and looped back on themselves and box stitched thereto as shown in FIG. 3. The looped ends of the straps 30 are also riveted to the bars 26,28 to secure the straps in place and to prevent slippage of the bars within the strap loops. The spacing of the straps 30 is preferably equidistant along the length of the tension bar 28 with the middle strap 30 being centered on the tension bar 28 and the remaining two straps 30 being attached towards the ends of the tension bar 28. Grip bar 26 and tension bar 28 are preferably fabricated from a strong, lightweight, flexible material such as 3/4"PVC "Schd. 40" plastic tubing or the like; straps 30 are preferably fabricated from 2" nylon webbing (seat belt material). Fasteners 24 are preferably fabricated from 1" nylon webbing with male and female plastic buckles sewn to the webbing. The 1" webbing of the fasteners 24 is wrapped around the tension bar 28 and looped back onto itself and box stitched. The 1" webbing of the fasteners 24 is riveted to the tension bar 28 to secure the fasteners 24 in place. The mating of fasteners 24 to loops 22 is illustrated in FIG. 5; the male end of the buckle and 1" webbing strap is passed through the loop 22 and then locked into the female end of the buckle forming interlocking loops. The fasteners 24 are preferably fabricated of impact resistant plastic or the like. The material fasteners interfit one within another and releaseably lock together when interfitted. The handle means fasteners 24 are preferably spaced in between the straps 30 and attached to the tension bar 28. The spacing of the straps 30 and the fasteners 24 places opposing force on the tension bar 28 and the spacing of the fasteners 24 is at the proper location for mating with the loops 22 on the transfer board 20 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Grip bar 26 is also preferably encased in a closed cell urethane foam tube 27, or the like, to provide cushioning and improve its gripability. Both bar 26, 28 preferably would be end capped with plastic caps 29, the end caps for the grip bar 26 encasing the end of the plastic tubing and underlaying the foam tube casing 27.
When the handle means 12 is to be stowed, it may be rolled up by rolling the grip bar 26 along the straps 30 until wound up to the tension bar 28, as shown in FIG. 4. Velcro patches 32 sewn onto the top and bottom of straps 30 as shown in FIG. 3 may be used to secure the handle means into position once the handle is rolled up.
Sled means 10 preferably comprises a transfer board formed of a bottom sheet 40, an intermediate foam cushion pad 42 and a top cover 44. Bottom sheet 40 is preferably fabricated from a plastic material such as polyethylene or the like; cushion pad 42 is preferably fabricated from an open or closed cell urethane or the like; and top cover 44 is preferably fabricated from a stain and water resistant vinyl fabric or the like. Bottom sheet 40 may have a thickness on the order of 1/8" and the cushion pad 42 may have a thickness on the order of 1-2". The loops 22 are fastened to the bottom 40 at the outer perimeter of the bottom by means of rivets 50 as illustrated in FIG. 6. The cover 44 is preferably fabricated by sewing a tunnel 48 around the perimeter through which 1" wide plastic strips 46 of 1/8" thickness are slid along all sides of the cover 44 as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. Cover 44 is fastened to bottom by plastic or nylon rivets 50 passing through drilled holes in plastic strips 46 and bottom sheet 40; rivets 50 are preferably plastic or nylon.
The handle means of this invention, along with the sled means, changes the way that a worker performs the task of transferring a patient from one surface to another. The handle means enables the worker to pull from a balanced and upright position, thereby keeping the worker's center of gravity within the base of his/her support. The handle means improves the worker's mechanical advantage and leverage over the load. The worker is allowed to perform the task from a position of relative strength as compared to having to forward bend and reach with outstretched arms in order to reach the patient. The position of the grip bar relative to the tension bar is adjustable; the grip bar may be rolled on the straps 30 closer to the tension bar, for example. The adjustable grip bar allows for optimum reach for the individual worker. The flexible grip and tension bars help dissipate the pulling forces from the worker's arms and shoulders. The foam grip on the grip bar protects the hands of the worker. The handle means is designed so that one or more workers may use one or both hands to pull on the grip bar in a synchronized fashion depending on the amount of force needed to move the load. The handle means may be attached to either side of the sled means so that transfers may be made from same side of the bed or other transfer surface without having to rearrange furniture or equipment.
The sled means is designed for safety and comfort. Combined with the handle means, which is removable, it provides a padded and flexible surface for the patient to remain upon during the transfer process, during transport from a patient room for a procedure, and, in many cases, during the procedure/examination itself. The transfer board is flexible and padded for patient comfort during transfer and during extended periods of lying on the transfer board. The bottom of the transfer board is preferably fabricated of anti-static material to eliminate painful and possibly dangerous micro-electricity discharges. The transfer board is preferably of non-metallic construction, including the rivets, and is X-ray proof.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described herein, variations in the design may be made. The scope of the invention, therefore, is only limited by the claims appended hereto.

Gift Tax Law in Texas
Gift tax law is mostly federal specific, but individuals in Texas who wish to better understand the rules, can gain knowledge by reading on and discussing their circumstances with a Texas tax professional such as an attorney or a CPA.
Texas Gift Taxes
Texas residents who have large estates will want to consider the federal tax implications of transferring parts of their estate and their entire estate both during life and at death. Tax law is complicated and an attorney or CPA should be involved in your considerations of how to manage your finances for the best tax consequences.
To better understand the gift tax, you must get some basic understanding of the estate tax. The estate tax is a tax on the transfer of wealth from one generation to another at death. If you leave money behind or assets behind at death, it will be taxed when it is transferred to your heirs or beneficiaries.
The gift tax is a tax on the transfer of wealth from one generation to another when the transfer is made during life. The gift tax is a tax imposed on any gifts that you make during their lifetime, unless they fall within the annual exemption..
The estate tax is different from income tax. Income tax is imposed on any income you generate during your life, whereas the estate tax is imposed on the value of your assets at the time of death.
You are entitled to a gift tax exemption, which is currently $1 million dollars over your lifetime. There is also an annual exemption to which you are entitled which, as of 2010, is $13,000 per year, per individual. You can also give money to assist with tuition and medical bills of your family or loved ones in most cases without suffering gift tax consequences. You can gift anything you wish to your spouse without triggering the gift tax.
Getting Legal Advice
Tax considerations in estate planning are complex. That is why discussing your case with an estate planning or tax attorney will prove helpful. Also, each persons situation is unique, and an attorney can help assess the law and your financial affairs. An experienced attorney will guide you through any complex legal issues or tax questions with care and help you get the best possible result out of any tax situation.
