			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The headboard is an essential part of any kind of bed whether it is a divan or a wooden bed, and any kind of bed sold without one would be incomplete. For those who are unsure as to what exactly the headboard is, it is an extra piece of furniture which can be purchased in many different styles, shapes and sizes which can be attached to the head end of the bed. Even though headboards are available in several different styles and materials such as metal headboards, leather headboards and fabric headboards, we are going to look in more detail at the more popular wooden headboard.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Wooden headboards are very much famous for their long lasting life, durability and strength not to mention their evergreen look. The headboard is designed to prevent the pillows from slipping off the bed and they are totally essential for supporting your back, whether it’s while you’re sat in bed reading a book or being pampered by a partner with breakfast in bed. The wooden headboards are available in many different styles and shaped into some of the most amazing designs with mesmerising amounts of detail, some being finely carved in the finest designs others in modern block styles. The style and design you choose can easily create the centre piece for your entire bedroom. It can also create a totally new feel and look to your bedroom, adding warmth and comfort.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Some other things to take into consideration when choosing a headboard are fitments and sizes. Headboards are made to fit quite a few different shape and size beds, ranging from the small single all the way to the super king size beds. But for any reason the size you require is not available then you can opt for the bespoke made to measure headboard. Also as well as the detached and free standing headboards, there is the option of choosing a bed with an integrated headboard, eliminating the problem of trying to find the right match. This is a great option with the only down side being the limited choice of styles and designs. There are other options for example wooden head boards with built in storage and spot lights for late night reading, personalized to your particular needs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Having chosen the wooden headboard you can choose from mahogany, oak, pine, walnut, birch to the rarer and finest wood such as the Scandinavian slow growing pine or the southern Brazilian pine, the list goes on, the choices are endless. Further more you can refine the shade by using wood stain. The wooden headboards are by far the best choice for your bed adding warmth and comfort combined with design and style to your bedroom, and now you can sit in the comfort of your own home and order online, getting unbeatable discounts.     </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are three main areas you have to take into consideration when choosing a bed; they are strength, safety and space. Also it’s your job as a parent to take into consideration what would capture the heart of your child, by picking something attractive and bright but not forgetting the key aspect which is comfort. Encapsulating all the fairy tales or cars or whatever is in your child’s heart whether from a comic or cartoons. It’s up to you as a parent to fulfil your child’s hearts desires when picking a bed for him/her.</p>
<p>Firstly we are going to look at why you need a strong bed. The reason is quite obvious as children’s beds usually end up being used as trampolines, tents and secret hide outs etc. So the bed you choose would have to be accustomed to rough treatment. A thick metal framed bed would be ideal rather than a wooden bed. Also the spring metal bases with the metal frame beds are a lot stronger than the slatted wooden beds. Focus on covering of any surface with some sort of padding which could potentially be dangerous, whether it be cushions or anything similar.</p>
<p>Secondly the safety of your child is of the utmost importance. Making sure the bedroom as well as the bed is totally safe. Bunk beds are a popular choice for kids beds, it is important that when choosing one you take full precaution to ensure it has an adequate size guard rail covering all possible angles of rolling off, as well as being careful there isn’t anywhere your child could trap his/her fingers. Another crucial aspect should be non slip grips on the ladder for when climbing up and down.</p>
<p>Third point to consider is utilising space as efficiently as possible. This can be done by maybe looking at the option of a single bed with fitted drawers or one of the more popular and by far the most efficient ways is to consider the single unit bunk and study. The single unit bunk is ideal for your children as it has a study area underneath which is good for them to do their homework as well as plenty of storage area for clothes and generally keeping the bedroom clutter free. </p>
<p>There are many different possibilities and options and styles for your consideration. There are many different options from single beds to wooden bunks, metal bunks, with storage, without storage and even with study areas, the list goes on. For kids of today the bed and the bedroom has to have the wow factor, it has to be cool, it has to be the IN thing. Especially if there is going to ever be a friend coming around for a sleep over. Choosing the right bed and creating the right environment for child has a big effect on your child’s everyday life, if your child doesn’t get a perfect night’s sleep, your child’s health, personality and education can be effected. Whatever your preferences and whatever your choice, make sure you spend enough time and effort before making the final choice.                </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shivram who lives in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh was in for a bit of a shocker when his new bride made a stand against him in the early days of his marriage.

<div>A 58 year old man arrested in August 2005 in Dona Ana County and was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, aggravated driving while under the influence, driving with a suspended license, possession of an open container of alcohol in a vehicle and improper use of registration. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>All was fine until he spent the next two years in solitary confinement and when his case was finally put in front of a district judge in 2007 it was dismissed because the judge felt the defendant Stephen Slevin was &#8221;incompetent and not dangerous&#8221;.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Alarmingly during his incarceration the defendant was refused basic medical care, exercise and upon his release had a long Grey beard and mustache with a visible weakness to his appearance. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, Dona Ana County authorities are going to appeal against the award because they argue the case was in the hands of district attorney&#8217;s office, the public defender&#8217;s office and state District Court.</div>
</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Natalie Thomas is a woman who has the sole duty is to test beds for quality and comfort for a hotel chain. So she has decided to get her bottom insured for £4 million.</p>
<p>She says she has a very sensitive rear which helps immensely when trying to detect bumps and lumps. The 39 year old who is from Bedfordshire is responsible for premier inns 46,000 beds, earning her the title ‘director of bed bouncing ‘. She said “whilst we have lots of fun bouncing on beds, we take our job seriously as making sure every guest gets a good night’s sleep is of paramount importance to us. Natalie’s team on average test 884 beds per week, that’s about 177 a day and takes them roughly 20 minutes per bed. Any mattresses found to have any bumps, lumps , rips or tears are removed the same day.   </p>
