The invention contains two rigid opposing shells, each having an outer surface adapted to engage the surfaces of the bones of a joint in such a way that the shells are immobilized by friction between their outer surfaces and the surfaces of the bone. These outer surfaces are sufficiently rough that large frictional forces strongly resist any slippage between the outer surface and the bone surfaces in the joint. They may be convex, and when inserted into a milled concavity, are immediately mechanically stable. Desirably, the outer surfaces of the shells are adapted to allow for bony ingrowth, which further stabilizes the shells in place. The inner surfaces of the shells are relatively smooth, and adapted to slide easily across a portion of the outer surface of a central body disposed between the shells. The central body has a shape that cooperates with the shape of the inner surface of the shell so as to provide a range of motion similar to that provided by a healthy joint. A flexible sheath extends between edges of the opposing shells. The inner surface of this sheath, together with the inner surfaces of the rigid shells, defines a cavity encasing the central body. At least a portion of this cavity is filled with a fluid lubricant, further decreasing the frictional force between inner surfaces of the shell and the surface of the central body.

Amnesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Amnesic)
"Amnesiac" redirects here. For the Radiohead album, see Amnesiac (album). For other uses, see Amnesia (disambiguation).
Amnesia (from Greek ἀμνησία from ἀ- meaning "without" and μνήμη memory) is a deficit in memory caused by brain damage, disease, or psychological trauma.[1] Amnesia can also be caused temporarily by the use of various sedatives and hypnotic drugs. Essentially, amnesia is loss of memory. The memory can be either wholly or partially lost due to the extent of damage that was caused.[2] There are two main types of amnesia: retrograde amnesia and anterograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is the inability to retrieve information that was acquired before a particular date, usually the date of an accident or operation.[3] In some cases the memory loss can extend back decades, while in others the person may lose only a few months of memory. Anterograde amnesia is the inability to transfer new information from the short-term store into the long-term store. People with this type of amnesia cannot remember things for long periods of time. These two types are not mutually exclusive. Both can occur within a patient at one time. Case studies, such as that of patient R.B., show that both types of amnesia can occur simultaneously. Case studies also show that amnesia is typically associated with damage to the medial temporal lobe. In addition, specific areas of the hippocampus (the CA1 region) are involved with memory. Research has also shown that when areas of the diencephalon are damaged, amnesia can occur. Recent studies have shown a correlation between deficiency of RbAp48 protein and memory loss. Scientists were able to find that mice with damaged memory have a lower level of RbAp48 protein compared to normal, healthy mice.[citation needed] In people suffering with amnesia, the ability to recall immediate information is still retained,[4][full citation needed] and they may still be able to form new memories. However, a severe reduction in the ability to learn new material and retrieve old information can be observed. Patients can learn new procedural knowledge. In addition, priming (both perceptual and conceptual) can assist amnesiacs in the learning of fresh non-declarative knowledge.[1] Amnesic patients also retain substantial intellectual, linguistic, and social skill despite profound impairments in the ability to recall specific information encountered in prior learning episodes.[5][6][7]
Important case studies[edit]
Henry Molaison[edit]
Henry Molaison, formerly known as H.M., changed the way people thought of memory. He was a patient who suffered from severe epilepsy. Physicians were unable to control his seizures with drugs, so they tried a new approach involving brain surgery. Doctors removed his medial temporal lobe bilaterally by doing a temporal lobectomy. His epilepsy did improve, but Molaison lost the ability to form new long-term memories (anterograde amnesia). He exhibited normal short-term memory ability. If he was given a list of words, he would forget them in about a minute's time. In fact, he would forget that he was even given a list in the first place.[9] Once Molaison stopped thinking about the lists he was unable to recall them again from long term memory. This gave researchers evidence that short-term and long-term memory are in fact two different processes.[10] Even though he forgot about the lists, he was still able to learn things through his implicit memory. The psychologists would ask him to draw something on a piece of paper, but to look at the paper using a mirror. Though he could never remember ever doing that task, he would improve after doing it over and over again. This showed the psychologists that he was learning and remembering things unconsciously.[11] Studies were completed consistently throughout Molaison’s lifetime to discover more about amnesia.[1] Researchers did a 14-year follow-up study on Molaison. They studied him for a period of two weeks to learn more about his amnesia. After 14 years, Molaison still could not recall things that have happened since his surgery. However, he could still remember things that happened prior to the operation. Researchers also found that, when asked, Molaison could answer questions about national or international events, but he could not remember his own personal memories.[9] After his death Molaison donated his brain to science, where they were able to discover the areas of the brain that had the lesions which caused his amnesia.[10] This case study provided important insight to the areas of the brain that are affected in anterograde amnesia, as well as how amnesia works.
Patient R.B.[edit]
Patient G.D.[edit]
Posthypnotic amnesia occurs when events during hypnosis are forgotten, or where past memories are unable to be recalled. The failure to remember those events is induced by suggestions made during the hypnosis.[25]
Source amnesia is the inability to remember where, when or how previously learned information has been acquired, while retaining the factual knowledge.[27] Source amnesia is both part of ordinary forgetting and can be a memory disorder caused by different factors.

Circles in Bent Sheet Metal (self.engineering)
submitted 5 years ago by pl33n
i was wondering if anyone could help me. I am drawing up a piece in AutoCAD; it is a piece a sheet metal that will be bent and an existing tube will go thru it. i need to know how to flatten the circle on the bent piece into an ellipse on the flat piece. any help would be greatly appreciated
[–]En-tro-py 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children)
It will be a pain to do in just Autocad... Inventor or any other 3d CAD would be easy, just draw a plane at the proper angle, sketch your circle, then project it to your surface... Unfold to get a flat pattern...
If you just need the profile you can use this website, which is really handy for tube coping templates. Tube Coping Calc
Google descriptive geometry or analytical geometry. You can solve this with pencil, paper, compass, and string to make an elipse compass. It's an old drafting skill- you might also look in drafting books and ductwork books.
Who needs SolidWorks when you've got paper 1.0?
[–]KingHuds 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (3 children)
Never used AutoCAD for this, but i think in SolidWorks and maybe ProE, you could bend it, add the hole, then unbend it for the flat pattern
Pretty sure you can do it in ProE.

I am looking at a part that has this in ProE. You can definitely do it.
Would be difficult to do in Autocad, any 3D cad package with a sheetmetal package could to it pretty easily. Also it probably wouldn't be an ellipse if the tube is passing through the bend.
What is the radius of the bend and what is the diameter of the circle?
You can do it in autodesk inventor too.
If not, you are going to have to do some kind of math to make it work... which is no fun.

Find a friend with SolidEdge, SolidWorks, or Inventor.

FULL-COURSE BANQUET, ON CHINA - The Washington Post
FULL-COURSE BANQUET, ON CHINA
CHINA SAGA By C.Y. Lee Weidenfeld & Nicolson. 534 pp. $19.95
"What a world, what a world," as the Wicked Witch of the West once said when she was under stress. In this case, what a world, where every door is lacquered red and flanked by fierce green sculptured lions; where -- in the old days -- every female foot was bound, except for those of a Manchu courtesan or two who challenged each customer to a sword fight before she would let him into her bed. For the addict, the world of Fictional China is as soothing as opium, as medicinal as Tiger Balm.
Fictional China's appeal is eternal and unfailing. It has also an utterly unique quality (as seen from afar, at least) in that as its history approaches "modern times" it becomes even more exotic and strange to the unschooled western eye. When the wife of a national leader is forced to wear a necklace of ping-pong balls in public as penance for her penchant for bourgeois jewelry, the "normal world" can only marvel -- and pick up another long, wonderful novel about life in China.
C.Y. Lee lives in the quiet California suburb of Woodland Hills, where McDonald's golden arches and 4-Day Tire stores are the order of the day. But he was born and raised in Hunan, and he's obviously still in love with his place of birth: "The idea for writing 'China Saga' was born in a Beijing hotel room while I was visiting China in 1981," Lee writes in his acknowledgments. "The room was often full of visitors whose chitchat and excitement about China's new direction created in me an irresistible desire to write a family saga reflecting the tumultuous changes in modern China."
Readers of this kind of material may remember that a staple of Chinese fiction is the all-too-apt proverb (often, one suspects, made up to suit the occasion). In this case, Lee takes "May you live to see four generations under one roof" and applies it to his novel, thus going the traditional three-generation American family saga one better, leaving his reader happily overdosed on rapes, double murders, banners, kites, concubines, daring rescues and -- at one notable banquet -- a fish made out of wood: "... because all fishing boats had been requisitioned by the government to transport ammunition. But a fish was a must at a New Year's banquet; it signified abundance, as fish and abundance sounded alike."
The story, as it whirls past like one of those Lazy Susans on circular tables in our own American Chinese restaurants, goes something like this: Fong Tai, a nice man in Peking around the year 1890, is pushed into an arranged marriage with a woman named Shao Mei, whom he doesn't like. He is sent off to Boston to study, where he has an affair with a girl named Cathy Du Bois, who hails from New Orleans. He's recalled to Peking in disgrace and takes up with Rose, that sword-wielding courtesan, who has a daughter by him. Shao Mei -- still barren -- resents this. (Why Fong Tai can't just bring the fabled Rose under his roof is not sufficiently explained, given the parameters of this genre.) Rose, feeling blue, hangs herself, leaving the daughter Fong Yun, who takes the name Brigid (even though she'll spend some time in Paris under the name Brigitte), under the care of Shao Mei, who perks up once she has a child to take care of.
Meanwhile, plots and counterplots have been simmering along against and for the Dowager Empress: "I can kill Jung-lu as easily as killing a dog!" a certain Gen. Yuan remarks testily. So the history cranks along like a wonderful, slow-moving diorama, and Fong Tai is decapitated in one of the skirmishes of the Boxer Rebellion. One generation down, three to go.
Fong Tai has sheltered an opportunistic urchin, Tang San, who turns out to be nothing but trouble. When Brigid returns from Paris, she falls in with strolling acrobats and is smitten with a gent named Bo Ho. At one point they defy a swinish lizard who goes by the name of One Stroke Cha. After a suitable length of time, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Tse-tung and the Japanese begin their three-way battle. Brigid, who has given birth to Mabel under circumstances far too complex to describe, moves to Chungking, where in a continual dense fog, in the company of rats as big as sea lions, Mabel takes up the life of a stripper.
This is the kind of book in which a person never just enlists in the army; he calls for a cleaver and lops off one of his fingers, shouting, "Your honor, this is my show of determination! I am ready to sacrifice my head the same way for the revolution!" There is never a dull day in Fictional China, which is certainly the reason for its eternal appeal.
Lest the reader be ashamed for enjoying "China Saga," remember that the narrative is crammed with historical facts; that the prose style is clean and literate; and, since there happens to be a society on Earth that has gone in a hundred short years from bound feet to struggle meetings in nursery schools to the Four Modernizations, it's almost our moral duty to read as many of these novels as we can. "The wise reader finds sober reasons for his endless pleasure." That's an old Woodland Hills proverb. The reviewer's most recent book is the novel "Golden Days.

the computer is just the right fit for me, love it
First Lenovo
Purchased this during the sale, and I am happy with it so far. I got to tell ya, since I bought my first PC in 1987, things have come a long way. When I compare this C325 with my first Epson, with a whopping 1/4 GB at a price of $1495.00, it is a thing of sheer beauty. Seems well built, was easy to set up (even for a geezer) and is very user friendly... style is outrageously cool. It performs as good if not better than my HP 17" G7 laptop. Doesn't have much bloatware and the keyboard and mouse are sturdy and work well. With the shortage of hard drives this may be about the best deal around for the all in one. So far I like everything about it.
Basic, solid home unit
Had it about 6 weeks - works perfectly for my needs. Delivery time was unexpectedly fast. Keyboard just OK - too sensitive for my style. I will look at other Lenovo products in future based on my experience of this one. Sale prices, too. Yay.
I was looking for a desktop computer for a very long time. Finally, i got to this website and saw this. I decided to buy it and I now no this is the best computer I have ever had
I think this is a good all in one desktop in its class. With an elegance design and really looks exclusive.

The E-1 provides a wide range of adjustment for Color, Contrast and Sharpness image parameters.
The E-1 provides a range of five color saturation adjustments, these are labeled from CS0 (less saturated) to CS4 (most saturated). The default setting (considered 'zero') is labeled CS2. Why Olympus couldn't simply label these -2 to +2 as they have for Contrast and Sharpness I'm not sure. In addition to this adjustment the E-1 also has four special saturation presets labeled CM1 to CM4. Each of CM1, CM2 and CM3 emphasize a particular primary color (Red, Green or Blue) respectively. CM4 is configured to reproduce natural skin tones for portraits.
Color Saturation Settings CS2 (default), CM1 - CM4
Place your mouse cursor over the labels shown below the color chart to see the effect of each of the CM modes. CS2 is provided for reference as the 'default' color saturation setting.
Settings: ISO 100, ED 50 mm F2.0 Macro, 1/50 sec, F5
CS2 (def.) CM1 CM2 CM3 CM4
Color Saturation Settings CS0 - CS4
Remember CS0 can be considered -2, CS2 as 0 and CS4 as +2.
Settings: ISO 100, E 14-54 mm F2.8-F3.5 @ F5, Sharpness 0, HQ JPEG
Color Saturation 100% crop
Adjusting the contrast setting alters the shape of the 'S curve' used to map the linear image data captured by the sensor into the selected gamma (sRGB / Adobe RGB). A lower contrast setting maintains more of the original data's dynamic range but leads to a flatter looking image. A higher contrast setting stretches the grayscale (dark to light) of the image and could lead to clipping of both shadow detail and highlights. The E-1 provides contrast adjustment from -2 to +2.
Settings: ISO 100, E 14-54 mm F2.8-F3.5 @ F5, Sharpness 0, SQ JPEG (1280 x 960)
One of the first reactions we saw to E-1 images was that they appeared soft. And to be fair to those initial observations the E-1's default sharpening does seem to be a little stronger than we saw from our first pre-production unit. That said it is clear that Olympus has chosen a 'hands off' approach to sharpening, that the default sharpening is quite mild in an attempt to avoid unnecessary sharpening artifacts and to keep visible noise to a minimum. The E-1 provides sharpness adjustment from -3 to +3. Most of the time I chose to shoot with a sharpness of +2.
Settings: ISO 100, ED 50 mm F2.0 Macro, 1/40 sec, F6.3, SHQ JPEG

Los Angeles Dental Implants Dentist, Dr. Kevin Sands, is Now Offering Mini Dental Implants for Complete Smile Restorations
Jul 16, 2012, 09:00 ET from Dr. Kevin Sands
LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tooth loss remains a serious medical condition for patients of all ages. It can be the result of a number of ailments or accidents, and when left untreated, patients may be at risk for further damage to their teeth, gums, and the soft tissue of their face. For patients that are currently struggling with conditions such as advanced periodontal disease, Los Angeles dental implants dentist, Dr. Kevin Sands, is now offering mini dental implants in order to completely restore the mouth.
Dental implant surgery remains one of the most effective and commonly used treatment options for patients that have lost any number of teeth. For many years, removable dental appliances were one of the few options for those that had lost permanent teeth, but cosmetic dental implants have bypassed many of the negative aspects of removable dental appliances and now allow patients to once again smile, eat, and speak with confidence.
In order to assist patients that are at a high risk of implant rejection, this Los Angeles dental implant dentist is now offering mini dental implants. These surgical-grade rods are a fraction of the size of full-sized multiple and single dental implants and have a lower chance of cause irreversible tissue damage if implant failure does take place.
Dr. Kevin Sands has worked with patients throughout the years, offering them affordable dental implants that will fully restore the function and appearance of their smile. He and his staff work closely with each patient in order to carefully address their needs and concerns before these advanced and effective procedures.

Title: Mary, Called Magdalene
Draws on the Bible and secular historical research to present a fictional portrait of Mary of Magdala as she becomes part of Jesus's disciple circle and comes into a realization of her faith. 100,000 first printing.
Of all the women in the Bible, perhaps no one's presence has been as constantly reinterpreted as that of Mary Magdalene. Was she a prostitute? A prophet? In Margaret George's epic historical novel, Mary, Called Magdalene (Geroge's previous subjects include Henry VIII, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Cleopatra), Mary comes alive as one of Jesus' first believers, a woman of infallible visions and a faith that earns her the title "Apostle to the Apostles." With numerous biblical and scholarly texts serving as the core of this intriguing woman's story, George recreates the world of Galilean fishermen and the oppressions of the Jewish people under Roman rule. Cast out from her family after Jesus expels the demons that have ravaged her mind, Mary follows the man from Nazareth until they receive attention from the skeptical hordes and the Roman magistrates controlling Jerusalem.
Mary, from beginning to end of this giant undertaking, is a woman who struggles to reconcile her absence from her young daughter's life with the chance to be part of something important. Through the lens of her ever-inquisitive mind, the story covers the formation of Jesus' ragtag band of disciples and the crucifixion, and ends with Mary's mission as the head of the Christian church in Ephesus, where she died at the age of 90. What makes this a compelling read is that Mary's story connects humanity with faith in a way that's possible to understand, whatever our contemporary beliefs. --Emily Russin

cmd.exe - cmd delete files - Stack Overflow
cmd delete files
Perhaps someone can be of help. I have several files with the following naming convention:
fooR1.txt, fooR2.txt, fooR3.txt, . . . , fooR1000.txt
I wish to delete all the files greater than R500. I have several folders and I know how to pass through each folder, but I am not sure how to capture and delete the files with replication 501 and greater. How can I do such?
cmd cmd.exe del share|improve this question asked Sep 4 '12 at 22:30
1 This type of questions should be asked at SU.
This will delete all files fooR###.txt where ### is greater than 500.

set num=%%~f
set num=!num:~4,-4!

1 You need del /q "fooR!num!".txt, don't you? !num! at the point of the delete only contains the number itself.
And, FIW, your could would also match a file named fooRa.txt (i.e. where everything after fooR is not numeric) - although whether that would be an issue is for the OP to decide.
@Christian.K The OP wasn't saying anything about other files, so I wasn't accounting for that. And of course that should have been del /q "%%~f". Thanks for the heads up, it's fixed now.
ren foo500.txt foo499bis.txt
del fooR5??.txt fooR6??.txt fooR7??.txt fooR8??.txt fooR9??.txt fooR10??.txt
ren foo499bis.txt foo500.txt
Not elegant, but efficient.

Perfect! I completely forgot I can use ? in CMD.
– Stefanie McDonald
1 @StefanieMcDonald fooR5??.txt will match also fooR5.txt, fooR50.txt etc. Run a dir with it first to make sure you do not delete more than you wished for!
Indeed...it deleted more than I wanted. I will try the other options. Thanks.
Because your range is open, I've reversed your criteria: delete anything that is not in the range 1-499. Please be aware that this is not exactly equivalent to yours, for example it will also delete a file named fooR001.txt or fooR_something_else.txt
It's also pretty slow. @echo off
echo %%F | findstr  /v /r "fooR[1-9]\.txt fooR[1-9][0-9]\.txt  fooR[1-4][0-9][0-9]\.txt" >nul  && echo del %%F
First line (for) enumerates files starting with fooR, then for each file findstr checks if it does not match pattern (/v option) and finally a command is executed if a check (ie does not match) is positive (&& means execute only if previous command was successfull).
Code above will just echo commands, not execute them, so you may safely run it to verify it actually behaves as it should. To actually run delete, just remove echo in front of it. note: you could actually run this directly from command line in a form of: @for %F in (fooR*.txt) do @echo %%F | findstr  /v /r "fooR[1-9]\.txt fooR[1-9][0-9]\.txt  fooR[1-4][0-9][0-9]\.txt" >nul  && echo del %F
You would need to make a Batch script for this. Then in the Batch file you could write.
DEL "fooR500.txt"
To delete all files with a .txt ending you would just write:
DEL "*.txt"
That's all I know, but if you want to get it so it does files 500 and higher you would have to create a variable in Batch that holds the value 500 using:
set Value = 500
and then have it delete file "fooR" + Index + ".txt" so to do that you would have to do:
set "FilePre = fooR"
set "FileW  = %FilePre% %Value%"
set "Ex = .txt"
set "FileX = %FileW% %Ex%"
del FileX
Then you will have to make Value go up by one and repeat the process 500 times until it reaches 1000.
That is all very awkward: (1) it is not an answer to the OPs question. (2) setting variables the way you do creates names with a trailing blank. For example FilePre will actually by only usable as %FilePre % (note the space).
(1) it is the answer to delete files 500-1000 and (2) I am not an amazing Batch programmer, I just used what I remembered doing. Thanks for the input though, even though I don't really care what you have to say.
Your "answer" is to delete either the file fooR500.txt itself, or all files with the extensions *.txt - or a file name FileX (the very last line of code). Neither of which was what the OP asked for. It is not expected that you are an amazing batch programmer to answer here, but you should at least check that the answer you post actually works, at least kind of. If you don't put that much effort in your answer, you just have to live with people telling you so.
I got it to work myself.. and if you read the whole post it explains how to delete 500 to 1000
You can only mean the lines starting with set Value = 500 and following? "Logically", one could deduce that they should do what you advertise, but syntactically they are broken all over. For example, they will only delete a single file named FileX. At the very least you would have needed to do a del "%FileX %", but even that wouldn't work, because "%FileX %" doesn't expand to what you (apparently) think it would (Hint: don't use spaces before/after the = and between "concatenating" your variables to filenames. If you really got it to work, then you should update your answer.

This authoritative and affectionate biography traces Federer's rise, from his first tentative strokes with a tennis racket to how he dealt with being sent away to a training academy where he struggled to communicate in a French-speaking part of Switzerland, as well as how he handled the sudden death of his first real coach and mentor. It also examines how Roger has bounced back from arguably one of the most challenging periods of his career; following a serious illness and a dip in form, he broke his run of successive Wimbledon championship wins and was toppled from the number one spot by rival Rafael Nadal—but in characteristic style, silenced his critics by once again returning to winning form. This biography explains how Roger's professionalism and charm, as well as the time he devotes to his charitable foundation, have won him huge amounts of respect from both his fellow athletes and tennis professionals alike.read morePublished byJohn Blake on Jan 1, 2013ISBN: 9781782196389List price: $8.99Read on Scribd mobile: iPhone, iPad and Android.Availability for FedererWith a 30 day free trial you can read online for freeBook tagsBooksBiography & Memoir, Sports & AdventureBooksTennis, Biography & MemoirBooksAthletes & Adventurers, Sports & AdventureBooksSports BiographiesReviews forFedererNo one has left a review yet.Be the first to reviewYou might also like:

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS, IF ANY Applicant claims priority based on Provisional Patent Application No. 60/824,127, filed Aug. 31, 2006.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed toward a trailer hitch receiver box comprising a trailer hitch receiver tube adapted to receive a hitch bar and having a notch, and a lip mounted to the receiver tube, the lip having a tab positioned within the notch.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the Figures, a receiver box according to the present invention is generally depicted with reference to numeral 20. In one aspect, box 20 includes a trailer hitch receiver tube 22, and a lip 24.
Tube 22 includes a hollow tubular member 23 which contains features generally of a type known in the hitch industry. Tubular member 23 is adapted to receive a hitch bar (hitch bar not shown). Tubular member 23 may be made of shaped steel and typically includes four sides 30 a, 30 b, 30 c, and 30 d. Sides 30 are typically aligned perpendicularly as shown. It may be appreciated that other arrangements and shapes may be possible, yet the shown arrangement is typical and most commonly used in the hitch industry. Tube 22 preferably has a rectangular cross section and more preferably a square cross section including inner and outer surfaces 31 and 33. Tubular member 23 includes a free end 32 which defines a notch 26. Notch 26 is positioned at a terminal end 34 of the free end 32. In one aspect, terminal end 34 includes a terminal edge 35 which is substantially U-shaped in section.
In one aspect, each of the sides 30 includes a respective edge 36 a, 36 b, 36 c, and 36 d. Edges 36 extend between inner and outer surfaces 31, 33 and face rearwardly with respect to an associated vehicle upon mounting thereon in any suitable manner. At least two of edges 36, and preferably three of edges 36, generally define a plane. As may be appreciated with reference to FIG. 4, edges 36 a and 36 c generally define a plane. At least one of the four sides 30 has an edge, for example, edge 36 d, where at least a portion of the edge 36 d is off-set from the plane defined by at least two of the other edges, for example edge 36 a and 36 c. This off-set arrangement defines notch 26 in this aspect. The use of notch 26 is described in greater detail below.
It may be appreciated that each of the four sides 30 has a length, and that at least a portion of one of the sides 30 d may have a length �t� which is shorter than the length �u� of at least two of the other sides, 30 a, 30 c. Having such shortened length arrangement alternatively defines notch 26.
A further aspect of notch 26 is shown in FIG. 14, where edge 36 d spans less than the entire width of side 30 d. It may be appreciated that side 30 d may include edges 36 e and 36 f. Edges 36 e and 36 f may be of varying dimension to provide a notch 26 of greater or lesser width as desired.
In fabricating tube 22, notch 26 may be cut-out or stamped from tube member 23. It may be appreciated that removal of material from free end 32 may be accomplished in any number of non-limiting methods in order to create notch 26. It is preferable, however, that notch 26 be positioned at a terminal end 34 of tube 23. It may be appreciated that notch 26 may be formed upon bending of sides 30 such that a side 30 d having a shorter relative length as compared to other sides 30 a, 30 b, or 30 c results in tube 23 having a desired notch 26. Notch 26 may be stamped from side 30 when tubular member is in a flat state and before bending into tubular form. Alternatively, notch 26 is cut or punched or otherwise removed from a tubular member 23 of standard stock variety. Multiple treatments of tubular member 23 may be needed as desired. A single punch or cut of notch 26 may be accomplished as is shown by notch 26 of FIG. 14, for instance. It may be appreciated that notch 26 may be provided without deformity of tube 23 and without deformity of terminal end 34. It may be appreciated that notch 26 may be positioned at a variety of locations about terminal end 34, and is preferably centered at one of sides 30 such as at 30 d as shown. It may also be appreciated that notch 26 may vary in length and width as desired. Preferably notch 26 has a depth that is generally similar to a thickness of lip 24 as described further below.
Tube 22 includes pin aperture 38 which is adapted to receive a holding pin (pin not shown) which inserts through tube 22 and through an inserted hitch bar as is commonly used in the hitch industry. It may be appreciated that a hitch bar may be inserted into hitch bar receiving cavity 40 defined by tube 22. Preferably tube 22 includes a pair of apertures 38 defined on opposing sides. Preferably aperture 38 is defined on a side 30 d in which notch 26 is also defined. It may be appreciated, however, that notch 26 may be defined on a side 30 which also does not include aperture 38.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, and FIGS. 7-10, lip 24 includes a body member 42 having four segments 44 a, 44 b, 44 c, and 44 d. Segments 44 include respective facing portions 46 a, 46 b, 46 c, and 46 d which generally define lip opening 48 to the hitch bar receiving cavity 40. Segments 44 also include respective shoulders 56 a, 56 b, 56 c, and 56 d. Lip 24 includes tab 28. As shown in FIGS. 1-4, where lip 24 is assembled together with tube 22, tab 28 is positioned within notch 26. Lip 24 may be welded to tube 22. Preferably tab 28 includes an inner surface 29 such that when lip 24 is assembled with tube 22, inner surface 29 is flush with tube inner surface 31. Such arrangement preferably provides an uninterrupted contour between lip 24 and tube 22 and accommodates smooth insertion of a receiver bar within tube 22. As shown in FIGS. 11-22, further aspects of the invention are shown where an alternative lip 24 and notch 26 may be provided as desired. It may be appreciated that any variety and multiple lip and notch configurations may be utilized under the present invention. Preferably notch 26 is positioned at a terminal edge 34 of tube 22.
When lip 24 is assembled with tube 22, the inner surface 49 of shoulders 56 of lip 24, or some of them, preferably abut outer surface 33 of tube 22. Lip segment surface 45 may abut edge 36, such as at edge 36 d. It may be appreciated that at least some of the segments 44 may be L-shaped in section. It may be further appreciated that at least one segment 44 d may be other than L-shaped in section. For instance, at least one segment 44 d may be generally rectangular shaped in section. It may also be appreciated, for instance as shown in FIG. 17, that at least a portion (i.e., at tab 28) of at least one segment, such as segment 44 d, may be generally rectangular in section, while other portions of the segment 44 d may be generally L-shaped in section. Preferably lip 24 has a width �x� (FIG. 9) which is substantially equal to a depth �y� (FIG. 5) of notch 26.
Tab 28 includes bore 50, and preferably a threaded bore. A fastener 52, such as an optional bolt, preferably threaded, may be inserted into bore 50. In operation, a hitch bar (not shown) may be inserted into hitch bar receiving cavity 40 so that the bolt or fastener 52 may be tightened to secure the hitch bar within receiver box 20. Particularly, fastener 52 applies force against hitch bar at fastener end 54. Such force causes hitch bar to press firmly against inner surface 31 which stabilizes the hitch bar and reduces or prevents wobble and/or rattle. Bore 50 having a length of threads allows a user to firmly tighten fastener 52 to secure the hitch bar and prevent rattle and promote stability. It may be appreciated that the greater the thickness of tab 28, the greater the length of threads, which in turn increases the ability to obtain a strong securing force while at the same time lessening the possibility of stripping of the threads. It may be appreciated that shoulder 56 d defines bore 50. Preferably bore 50 is in communication with cavity 40. It may be appreciated that shoulder 56 d comprises a perimeter edge of lip 24. It may also be appreciated that bore 50 is aligned generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis L running through cavity 40. In assembly, lip 24 covers at least a portion of perimeter edge 36 of tube 22.
Lip body 42 may include four segments 44 each having opposite ends connected to ends of adjacent segments 44 such that the segments 44 cooperate to define a rectangular opening 48. In one aspect of the invention, and referring to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, segments 44 include shoulders 56. Preferably, at least a portion of one of shoulders 44 d (i.e., at tab 28) has a thickness �a� greater than a thickness �b� of at least one of the adjacent segments 44. Tab 28 projects toward a center area 60 of lip 24. Segments 44 include shoulders 56 and facing portions 46 in a generally L-shaped cross section. When lip 24 is assembled with tube 22, the inside surface 47 of facing portion 46 of lip 24, or some of them, preferably abut edge 36 of tube 22. Alternatively surface 47 may avoid contact with edge 36. A powder coating may be introduced to any gap created thereby.

Please try again later.Show more comments5first great fantasy novel of 2002!ByRodney Powell "fairmont66"on 7 April 2002Format: HardcoverI've been a Marco fan ever since I read his classic Tyrantsand Kings series now he creates all-new epic saga that has all of the ingredientsthat made his previous one so memorable:flawed heroes like Lukien, the bronze knight who is tore between the loyality and friendship he has toward his King Akeela who treats him like a brother and his love for Akeela's wife Cassandra. King Akeela-a once good ruler who's betrayal by his best friend and wife turns him into a mad despot who seeks only power and revenge! Cassandra-the queen who will turn two men into enemies and who's dying with cancer and can only be saved by a magical amulet called the eyes of God.Marco's gifts of world-building hasn't been lost as he creates a city of so-called freaks who are protected by powerful ancient spirits anda mysterious woman called Minikin.Marco's villians are also classic like the poor Akeela who's tranformation from a kind man to a cruel king is quite chilling and the evil Will Trager, Lukien's hated rival.What makes the book so powerful is the themeof choices that people make that can save or destroy them and sometimes even heroes can feet of clay and can do deeds that will haunt them for lifetime.Marco can describe a battle scene ina cinematic quality and the brief and tragic love affair between Lukien and Casandra will break your heart.I've had read a few reviews stating that Marco is rewriting the Arthurian legend with Lukien as Lancelot, Akeela as Arthur and Casandra as Guinevere but the similarities are few and far between. Other characters I found memorable is crippled boy Gilwyn who helps save the city of Grimhold, the place of "monsters" and the gruffbut brave Baron Thorn.Consider this epic novel another feather in Marco's cap and if he reads the review I have only one thing to say: WRITE FASTER!0CommentWas this review helpful to you?YesNoSending feedback...Thank you for your feedback.Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

There was a problem loading the comments at the moment. Please try again later.Show more comments3 of 6 people found the following review helpful2Frustratingly averageByN. Clarkeon 17 December 2003Format: PaperbackPromising reviews, an interesting back-cover blurb and the fact that this is a stand-alone had made me anticipate reading this one with some relish - but as it turns out my optimism was rather misplaced.Sad to say, this is fantasy fluff, pure and simple. An Arthurian-esque love triangle, some magic amulets, a reforming intellectual-king, and a legendary, hidden community of 'differently-abled' people. None of these elements are particularly original, but early on there are hints that they might be melded together in an entertaining way; and throughout there are interesting developments, such as Cassandra's imprisonment and Akeela's descent into madness. Unfortunately, most of these elements are also given less breathing-space than they need, and thus both plot and character are left under-explored.While 800 pages ought to be plenty for even a fantasy novel, Marco tries to do too much and consequently short-changes a potentially-intriguing story. However, the (frequently clumsy) writing shows the hallmarks of a new novelist still finding his feet - suggesting that, a few books down the line, Marco may be someone worth trying again.11 commentWas this review helpful to you?YesNoSending feedback...Thank you for your feedback.Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

true love is knowing that someone is there forever even through the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Awww, Beautiful Animals, Dogs Pets, German Shepherds, Amazing Animals, Gsds, German Shepard, Friend
Always... My dog is my best friend and I've had her for almost half of my life. She's always been there and hasn't gone anywhere. It's so amazing that animals love you for who you are, and they don't care about the rest.
<3 my German Shepard!!
awww she loves her mom
sweet pets Pin it
I don't know where you're going and I don't mind where you've been. If you can't tell from looking at me, I could sure use a friend.

Quotes About Pet Dogs | Beautiful quote about dogs
. Adopt and Rescue. they make awesome friends.
Re-homing an older dog......I wish I could take every older dog that was no longer wanted. What a sad, sad person that would give away their dog when they got older! That is when they are the very best. Yes, they cost a little more money, but so does you mama! It makes me cry and makes me ANGRY!
When you adopt an animal. Its a decision you made for the rest it the animals life. You are their family, best friend, and even better their world. Until the end! Makes me mad when people just decide one day they just don't want an animal anymore. Its not fair to them. ♥

Ya know, every pit bull I've ever been around has been sweet as can be, only because their owners are good people. Hell, you could train a labrador to kill if you wanted......just sayin.
This statement is true! We have two pit bulls and a one year old and she could stomp and hit on them all day and they don't even acknowledge it.
Animals are just like people; you raise them to be who they are. Pits are precious, too <3
ThanksThis statement is true! awesome pin

Doing this, and these animals are family. Such a rewarding thing to do, I love our animals. A true passion--animals. Giving them the home and love they deserve. My furies are very much part of the family not a "pet".
Beautiful. And so true. I claimed to rescue Nick until I realized he saved me from myself. I will always be grateful to him
That is so beautiful and very true! Love my rescue dog so much. ❤
This is exactly how I feel about my rescue dogs...
It's so true. It makes me miss my old buddy....
Rescued dogs are a loyal friend for life!
