Missouri calls itself the "Show Me" state, but there's only so much one woman was allowed to show at a water park. When Madelyn Sheaffer went to the Adventure Oasis Water Park in Independence, Mo., on Tuesday, the last thing she expected was that her bathing suit would cause fireworks. Sheaffer, 43, said after she got into the pool with her niece and nephew, two teenage employees approached her and told her to put on shorts because her bottoms were too small. A supervisor backed up their decree by saying she needed to cover up or leave the park. “I just felt like I was singled out,” Sheaffer told KSHB-TV. “I felt like it was both age and body discrimination and I felt like I could look around me and I could see a handful of other girls half my age, wearing the same size swimming suit and not being singled out and told to put on clothes or leave.” Sheaffer then asked that the water park officials call the police to have her removed so that she could file a complaint against the park.
On her Facebook page, she wrote that the officers who showed up sympathized with her plight: "We can't actually say anything," they said as we walked outside, (as it is a city owned park), ..but I hope from the expressions on our face you can tell how we feel," They were compassionate. They too, thought it was ridiculous. Officials at the Adventure Oasis Water Park had no comment about the incident preferring to have the Independence, Mo., City Manager handle press inquiries since the park is on city land. The City Manager was unavailable, but an assistant said that "the facility made the call and we rely on their judgment." Sheaffer is not the only person fighting for her freedoms around July 4. Last week, Mike McKeown protested being kicked out of a bar because the owners didn't like his many tattoos, particularly the one on his neck reading "I Love Strippers." McKeown said he would have put on a shirt, but wants the bar's alleged rules against extreme tattoos to be applied to everyone.

Holly’s Bedroom Update with Matt Blatt It was only a few years ago that parents were limited to purchasing children’s furniture from baby stores.

Royal System® - Shelf Poul Cadovius' unique shelving system ROYAL SYSTEM® was on everyone's lips in the 1950s and 60s. dk3 has now acquired the rights to revive the legendary furniture classic. ROYAL SYSTEM® shelving system was designed in 1948 by legendary Danish designer and manufacturer Poul Cadovius. It was one of the world's first wall-hung furniture systems, and the idea that furniture should not use floor space was innovative: "Most of us live on the bottom of a cube. If we put the walls even with the floor, we get a lot of space to live on" was the mantra of Paul Cadovius. ROYAL SYSTEM® was then ground breaking because of the wall-mounted concept, its light styling and the many individual combinations and the furniture system therefore went from success to success both in and outside Denmark. There have been made many attempts to copy this famous design, but ROYAL SYSTEM® is and remains the original. Download the complete Royal System® price list here.
Measurements: W: 80 x D: 24 / 30 x H: 1.9 cm Material: MDF veneer or HPL, hangers in brass or stainless steel Shelves include 2 hangers and holders Please note: new dk3 parts are not compatible with old parts (before 1985) Made to order item Poul Cadovius was born in Copenhagen in 1911 and was originally trained as a saddler and upholsterer. He was a colourful and successful designer with a marked influence on the Danish furniture industry and furniture design - both in his own time and later. In 1948, Cadovius designed the shelving system ROYAL SYSTEM®, which through the 50s, 60s and 70s perhaps was the largest furniture success Danish furniture industry has ever had. Poul Cadovius is one of the most colourful and successful personalities in Danish furniture industry’s history. “Architect, designer, self-taught inventor, manufacturer, innovator, the furniture industry’s ‘enfant terrible’ - the titles are many”, as the author Henriette Houth writes in her book ”Kassebogen”.
