1. A connection between a supported member and a supporting member, the connection comprising:
a. the supported member having left and right sides that are generally parallel to each other and are spaced apart a first selected distance, the supported member also having an end face that meets with the left and right sides of the supported member at left and right side edges of the end face, the supported member also having a top face and a bottom face that meet with the left and right sides and the end face;
b. the supporting member having an attachment face with the end face of the supported member being in close proximity to the attachment face such that the end face of the supported member abuts with the attachment face of the supporting member, or one of the left and right side edges of the end face is in close proximity to the attachment face of the supporting member;
c. a connector, the connector having back members, portions of which interface with the attachment face of the supporting member, the back members being connected to side members which are connected to a generally planar seat member, each of the back members having an outer edge disposed away from where the back member connects to the side member, each of the back members being formed with a series of parallel embossments with the parallel embossments of each back member slanting upwardly from the outer edge of the back member toward the top surface of the supported member, and the seat member interfaces with the bottom face of the supported member; the side members contact the sides of the supported member, and
d. fasteners are driven through the side members and into the supported member, and fasteners are driven through the back members and into the supporting member.
