What do you carry for a jack?
I carry 2 commercial duty bottle jacks, a 20 ton and a 12 ton low profile. I also keep two 6 ton jack stands in the tv and several blocks of varying sizes to place under a jack if necessary... a shovel is kept in the camper side compartment if I need to dig down to get a jack under something in severe terrain. 2006 Dodge 3500 DRW LB 4x4 QC 2007 Mountaineer 336RLT XPS Ribs 2000 Lance 1130 2 Camping Collies (always ready to go)

Spare tire
I check my dually spare before leaving home for a camping trip.The 5ver spares are checked before each trip along with the truck tires and 5ver tires. Due to past problems with st tires failing randomly I mounted both spares on top of the 5ver rear bumper with an aluminum rack I made for easier access.Both spares have tire covers and are positioned with the valve stems on the bottom facing out to add air when needed without having to take the covers off. Our 5ver now rides on XPS Ribs. I will gladly lend a 235/80R/16 spare tire/wheel assembly or give a loose spare trailer tire (kept in the dually bed) to another camper in distress if needed. I keep a 6 gallon capacity pancake electric compressor and generator in the front compartment with 50 feet of air hose for tire problems... been there done that too many times. I'll help any camper who needs assistance changing tires on tv or camper.

We are staying home this holiday weekend... too crowded for us and highways too busy. I'm working on our generator and hope to have it back in the front compartment this evening.

Crossroads Cruiser experiences and Shortbox Ram clearance
kc81c Some friends of ours used to have a Crossroads Cruise 5ver ... model ? which was pulled by a 2008 Dodge CTD QC shortbox. They switched to a Pullrite Superglide hitch. Made tight turns and tight backing one less thing to worry about. 2006 Dodge 3500 CTD 4x4 LB QC DRW 2007 Mountaineer 336RLTS 2000 Lance 1130 2 Camping Collies (always ready to go)

Where do your pets ride?
Our 2 Collies always ride in the back seat of our TV in air conditioned comfort on their special platform made from 3/8 inch siding that covers the entire seat and leg room area and butts up to front seat backs and console.Four legs support the platform with storage room underneath. It's covered with carpet topped with foam rubber and a double bed thick comforter,very comfortable and more than enough room for 2 full size Collies.Our Collie girl likes to lay her head on the console and snooze while traveling. 2006 Dodge 3500 CTD LB QC 4x4 DRW (payload to spare) 2007 Mountaineer 336RLTS XPS Ribs 2000 Lance 1130 2 Camping Collies (always ready to go)

Pullrite or Curt for OEM Hitch
I've had the same PR Superglide since October of 2006, it's now in my dually. No problems at all,easy to maintain and adjust if needed ( slide models ). American made !!! strong ... heavy ... durable I really like the way the jaw wraps around the pin when the handle latch is activated ... positive latching mechanism. 2006 Dodge 3500 LB 4X4 CC CTD DRW (payload to spare) 2007 Mountaineer 336RLTS XPS Ribs 2000 Lance 1130 2 Camping Collies (always ready to go)

Had a bad blow out .And tired of reading 1000 post on tires
Carpet Guy 2 ... I had the same problems with st tires as you and many others did, 8 to be exact.Luckily I caught mine before each blew ( about 100 miles apart )from 2008 - 2011 and didn't have any damage. The 5ver now rides on Michelin XPS ribs LT235/85R/16 LRE Q speed rated up to 100 mph.No more bouncing or tracking problems.These are top quality tires as are the Bridgestone Duravis R250. Both tires give superior service and longevity. My XPS ribs are registerd with Michelin for warranty purposes if needed. Pulling and camping is much more enjoyable now without wondering when the next tire is about to blow. Peace of mind ... Priceless !

Let's talk about tire gauges
I use several... A Milton dial type guage on an 18 inch hose and also a Milton inflator/guage type on a hose.The guage I keep in the dually is a Dill brand truck service type with a dual foot and a calibration screw on the end.All these are top quality and used by commercial tire men on a daily basis. Check out your local tire equipment supply company for the these precision instruments and other tire related equipment... Kid in a candy store effect.

Short bed or long bed?
Del Camper Excellent choice,you will like the long bed.I started with my existing short box 2006 2500 Dodge 4x4 quad cab CTG,it pulled and stopped the 5ver good. The payload was close to being maxed out...added super springs and also had a Pullrite Superglide,no chance of hitting the cab...good sturdy durable hitch. The 36 foot 5ver in my opinion was too much trailer for the truck. In 2008 I upgraded to a 2006 Dodge 3500 4x4 DRW long box CTG (payload to spare) and the difference was night and day.I have no problems in parking lots or drive throughs / maneuvering around town.The truck controls the camper with authority. The 2500 is my daily driver - 175k miles... the 3500 45k miles is my tow vehicle and also hauls the Lance truck camper. My neighbor down the street has lost 2 back windows and sustained cab damage while pulling his 5ver with a short box truck & non slider hitch. Enjoy your new long truck and peace of mind !!

Poll: do you use the comfort station?
In over 16 years of rv camping we have never used a campground shower and don't intend to, although many are super clean. On occasion when walking the Collies early in the morning we may use the campground restroom if the urge arises and we're too far from our camper. I do use the cg restrooms while out mountain / offroad biking and take my bike in the restroom with me (large amounts of liquid consumed while biking) Our 5ver has a nice large shower which we prefer over a public bathhouse ... we also like our privacy.

Stay away from BFG Commercial T/A Tires
My BFG Comm TA's were flawless for over a year... a major improvement over ST's.The trailer felt stable and didn't bounce around like it did on the several different brands of failed ST's in the past. MY BFG's were in the recall and were replaced with Michelin XPS Ribs LT 235/85R 16/E. My trailer was too long to maneuver in the tire companies parking lot so I pulled all 4 BFG's off and took them back loose for the swap out at no cost to me. I registered the new XPS Ribs (4) for warranty purposes on the Michelin site.

Replacing sofa bed and recliners
We have a 36 foot Montana Mountaineer and removed the heavy sofa bed and 2 heavy recliners and table.We bought a good quality residential sofa to match the decor.Took awhile to find a sofa to fit/fill the entire rear area due to rear slide clearances.The wife got a new Lazy Boy recliner. Had to remove the sofa legs and stand it on end as we worked it through the door (tight fit) to keep from hitting the frig.The sofa is plenty long enough for me to stretch out or sleep on.With a cover on the sofa 2 full size Collies can sleep & dream quite well with room to spare. Other improvements were replacing the bedroom queen mattress with a residential pillow top queen firm mattress,also turned the dining table longways and removed 2 of the 4 dining chairs for more room.I replaced the desk chair with one of my old wooden office chairs which rocks and swivels. 2007 Mountaineer XPS Ribs 2006 Dodge CTD 4x4 LWB DRW QC 42K miles 2000 Lance 1130 Truck Camper 2 Rescued Collies 8 Yrs ago

Superglide Install
I installed the hitch myself in 2006 and then again in 2008 in a different Dodge.Its a fairly easy install in my opinion.The first time it took about 5+ hours,I was in no hurry and made sure everything was right.The second installation took about 3.5 hours after removal from the 2500 Dodge. Just lay everything out and read the instructions and be sure you have a high quality 1 3/4 inch metal hole saw and a good electric drill (ac) The Dodge installation was easy due to the existing frame holes for the rear mounts (underbody) I've used the hitch for over seven years and have made only minor tension adjustments to the nylon block, along with routine maint.These are very durable hitches that lock fully around the pin.My hitch came from Tweetys also and was delivered free to my business address. Enjoy your new hitch.

Does Decentralization Facilitate Access to Poverty-Related Services? Evidence from Benin
AbstractWe study the effect of decentralization on the access to some poverty-related public services in Benin. Compiling panel data from local governments' accounts and from surveys on 18,000 Beninese households performed in 2006 and 2007, our study suggests that decentralization has a positive overall effect on access to basic services. However, this effect appears to be nonmonotone following an inverted U-shaped curve. It varies according to local jurisdictions' wealth and to the nature of basic services. Decentralization in Benin contributes positively to the reduction of poverty by improving the average access to poverty-related services. However, the devil is in the details, as decentralization seems to increase inequality among local governments in terms of access. Another result relying on the success of decentralization in Benin is the prioritization of basic services, which differs among local governments according to their wealth. While the poorest jurisdictions neglect primary education, focusing more on access to drinking water, the richest ones get less attention to sewage services, since these are already provided at a sufficiently high level.

Several of town's talented artists - including Kev Munday, Sian Storey & Bill Thorpe - stage ambitious group show
Updated 3:34pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in Leisure News
SOME of the town's talented artists are involved in an exciting new group exhibition.
All Our Own work, featuring Chineham's Kev Munday, Bill Thorpe, XWWX, Bex Parker, Sian Storey, Kazland, Funns, Shaun Donohoe, Kev Winter and Katie Smith, will be open to the public daily at 2 Clapham House in Festival Place (opposite the Discovery Centre) and at 14 Hanover Buildings in Southampton.
The work will be on show from February 1 until February 28.
All Our Own Work is an ambitious group show which has been organised, curated, marketed, installed and staffed entirely by the artists, with all of the money from sales going directly to the makers.
The exhibition showcases work in a wide range of styles and mediums, with all of the artists sharing the fact that they reside in Hampshire.
With work available to buy and take away on the day, the exhibitions will be changing regularly throughout the duration of the show.
The shops have been kindly supplied for the pop up exhibitions by Moderna Art.
Find out more by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
*Kev Munday will also open his free entry solo exhibition The Way I See Things at The West End Centre in Aldershot on February 3.
Kev, who is 27, started his creative career painting graffiti with friends. A decade on, his work still carries the raw energy of street art, blended with an intelligent graphic edge, gained through producing illustrations for clients including Walt Disney, Fracture Skateboards and Monster Energy Drink.
His unique creations have adorned merchandise products including furniture, skateboards and clothing and his art has been exhibited all over the world, in venues including The Southbank Centre, Summers Place Sculpture Gardens and Selfridges Ultralounge. His work has received praise from worldwide design press, including features in Elle Decor, Computer Arts and The Evening Standard.
Having recently been named as one of Artfinder's top 10 artists of 2013 and collaborated with wallpaper giant Graham & Brown, Kev Munday is looking forward to many more years of watching paint dry.
Entry is free. The exhibition runs until February 28.

From The Onion: Man's Anxiety Not About To Let Depression Muscle In On Turf
America's Finest News Source reports:
PHOENIX—Unwilling to cede decades of hard-won advances, local man Roger Cannon's persistent anxiety vowed Monday that it would not let clinical depression muscle in on any of its turf. "Look, I've had a vise-grip on this guy for 30 years, so I'm not about to roll over now and let some despondent feelings and an overriding aversion to activity waltz in and take over his emotional state," said the mental disorder… "Roger's mental condition is my domain. And if all-encompassing thoughts of hopelessness and inadequacy think they can parade around like they own the place, trust me, they've got another thing coming." The neurosis then promised that it wouldn't make the same mistake it did in 2011, when it briefly let its guard down and disastrously allowed happiness to take hold.
A Few Thoughts on Righteous Minds and Religious Liberty
I believe it was Austin Powers' father Nigel who once remarked, "There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures… and the Dutch."
That movie came out while I was in college, and the joke struck a chord. Having been educated in proudly 'progressive' institutions, I grew up hearing a lot about tolerance. My secondary school, for example, hosted a semi-annual 'Diversity Day', where the student body took part in workshops designed to expose us to different cultures and points of view. Of course, there's nothing more cynical than a bunch…
Everything I Never Learned From Seinfeld
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of our all time favorite show's premiere, we offer up a re-run of "a breakout session about nothing":

You got that right, mojambo–our 2012 NYC Conference included an hour long session on about the greatest sitcom of all time, Seinfeld.

On the Divine Injunction to Just Relax
Was delighted to be asked to contribute a guest post to Amy Julia Becker's Thin Places blog over at Christianity Today last week, something dealing with the topic of Sabbath rest. Those who read the whole thing may notice a few, er, congruencies with past Mbird posts, but I was pleased with how it turned out. Here are a few paragraphs from the second half:
Talk to a member of the "greatest generation" about their childhood Sundays and they will invariably relate youthful frustrations about Sabbath prohibitions. They will tell about blue laws. About no baseball on Sunday. No…
A Few Words on the Paradox of Christian Living
Another set of quotes from Mark Seifrid's phenomenal essay about Romans 7, found here:
"As weak and fallen human beings we are bound to have a lord. It is not in our power to choose that lord. We do not make Christ our Lord. Rather, God in grace has given us Christ as our saving Lord…
The apostle does not think in terms of the transformation of the fallen human being–at least not in the way we usually conceive of "transformation"–but of our being created anew by the saving power of God in Christ… All growth and progress are a growth in faith, which in the changing circumstances of life grasps Christ and what God has done in him…
Christian faith, by virtue of its confession of Christ, remains sober and realistic about the limits of progress. We are called to reject all idealistic fantasies and to accept the painful and humbling truth that we–both individually and corporately–remain sinners so long as we remain in this body and life. Indeed, we must delight in being sinners: not sinning, nor in being sinners per se, but in the painful yet joyful confession of being sinners who live under the saving lordship of Christ. Our weakness is more than matched by Christ's strength.
Progress in Christian living is thus paradoxical. We go forward by ever going back to Christ crucified and risen for us. Christian growth often is construed as a gradual, upward path to sanctification. This picture is false and unbiblical. It implicitly carries us away from Christ and the liberation from ourselves that only his cross and resurrection can give. We are not called to progress in ourselves away from Christ but to progress in Christ away from ourselves–away from the fallen reality that determines us as children of Adam. All progress is a return to the beginning of the Christian life, where it enters more deeply into the wonder of God's love in Christ in the face of our sin and misery. The "flesh" can neither be reformed nor rehabilitated. It must be crucified."
P.S. This version truly smokes:
Yes, You Are Communicating Wrong (And No, You Will Not Like This Post)
Des: Aren't you a bit of a cad for leaving town with your girlfriend in the hospital?

I hung around the hospital all summer, almost bankrupted her parents, and as soon as I left town she recovered. By going away and putting an ocean between us, i.e. making a definitive break, Charlotte's likely to recover much faster.

NBW on How the Light Gets Out
Those who've just received the new issue of know that it includes a fascinating interview with preacher/ pastor/author Nadia Bolz-Weber. We'll be posting some excerpts once our esteemed magazine editor returns from honeymooning, but if her words have left you wanting more, here's an excerpt from an incredibly powerful sermon she gave earlier this year on Matthew 5:13-14, ht LM:
It's so easy for us to default to hearing Jesus' sermon on the mount as pure exhortation. As though he is giving us a list of things we should try and be so we can be blessed – be meeker, be poorer, and mournier a little more and you will meet the conditions of earning Jesus' blessing. But the thing is, it's hard to imagine Jesus exhorting a crowd of demoniacs and epileptics to be meeker…
I [used to think] that to be the light of the world, to let your light so shine before men, you have to be whole, be strong, be perfect. That special class of people I'll never belong to. But perhaps this is when we best listen to the words of the prophet Leonard Cohen: "Ring the bells that still can ring/ Forget your perfect offering/ There's a crack in everything/ That's how the light gets in." In other words, it is exactly at our points of weakness, of pain, of brokenness, of insufficiency that force us, like those who originally followed Jesus, to stand in the need of God. To stand in the need of the true light.
So perhaps those cracks… made from bad choices, from anxiety and depression, from addiction, from struggle and remorse, maybe those cracks are what lets the light of God's love in. And maybe those same cracks are also how the light gets out.
We perhaps should not miss the fact that Jesus does not say "here are the conditions you must meet to be the salt of the Earth." He does not say, here are the standards of wholeness you must fulfill in order to be light for the world. He looks out into the crowd of people in pain, people who have been broken open – those cracks that let in and let out the Light, who have the salt of sweat and tears on their broken bodies, and says you ARE salt. You. You are light. You have that of God within you, the God whose light scatters the darkness. Your imperfect and beautiful bodies are made of chemicals with holiness shining in it… you are made of dust and the very breath of God.
In other words, you are a broken jerk and Jesus trusts you. Don't wait until you feel as though you have met the conditions of being holy. Trust that Jesus knows what he is doing. And that you already are salt and light and love and grace. Don't try and be it. Know that you already are.
Five Records To Soundtrack the Summer
With summer officially here, a quick list of some recent discoveries and friendly listening options:
1. Seven Dials – Roddy Frame. Last year Chris Collingwood of Fountains of Wayne penned a remarkable column for The NY Times about songwriting in which he praised the genius of Aztec Camera's Roddy Frame. Frame may have ditched the Aztec Camera moniker years ago, but he never lost his muse, as evidenced by Seven Dials, his first solo record in eight years. As vaunted as my expectations were, nothing could have prepared me for the first single, "40 Days of Rain", a veritable flood of…
Another Week Ends: Silent Treatment, 1st-World Problems, Rectify & Rev, Robinson's Lila, Phillips' Freud, Heresy Help, Tragic Soccer, and Soviet Propaganda
1. Under the auspices of "How and Why to Ban the Silent Treatment from Your Relationship", The Wall Street Journal issued a perceptive and even quite touching treatise on how the dynamic of demand and withdrawal comes to poison so many loving relationships. The article starts out with the same old line about judgment and expectation snuffing out affection (not that there's anything wrong with that!), and 'law' making bad things worse, with some token men-are-from-Mars-women-are-from-Venus thrown in–but it doesn't end there. That is, while some of the diagnosis (and rather patronizing advice) falls under the heading of the perilously…
C.S. Lewis Knocked Flat by a Sledge Hammer
In the essay "Rejoinder to Dr. Pittenger", found in the posthumous collection God in the Dock, C.S. Lewis responds to the criticism that he does not 'care much for' the Sermon on the Mount but prefers the Pauline ethic, ht BT:
"As to 'caring for' the Sermon on the Mount… Who can like being knocked flat on his face by a sledge-hammer? I can hardly imagine a more deadly spiritual condition than that of the man who can read that passage with tranquil pleasure."
The Theological Mis-Commitment Behind Our Exhaustion
Some salient thoughts on rest and restlessness from Walter Brueggemann's new booklet, Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now. He may skirt what we might call an overly gracious view of the Law, putting an uncomfortable amount of onus for current restlessness on external circumstances (rather than locating the roots within), but still, the core diagnosis strikes me as a valid one:
The alternative on offer [in the Sabbath] is the awareness and practice of the claim that we are situated on the receiving end of the gifts of God. To be so situated is a staggering option,…

meanderings of the sasuraijin.
if you pick something rare, exotic, strange, unusual, specific to a region, organization, individual, or time, and especially at odds with the rest of your choices and background, there will be a "payment" for said choice.
said "payment" is that you will be required to write a more extensive background than normal detailing some of the who, what, where, how, and why it came to pass that you were there, then, and somehow managed to get access to said pick.

Former England cricketer opens Sherston tearoom
8:00am Friday 11th April 2014 in News By Victoria Latchman
EX-England and Yorkshire cricketer Paul Jarvis and wife Caroline have transformed a historic pub in to a tearoom in Sherston.
They launched Sherston Tearooms at the site of The Angel on Tuesday, offering bacon and sausages from their meat production company Sherston Rare Breeds.
Mr Jarvis and his wife also plan to open The Angel Bed and Breakfast in the next fortnight in addition to their tearooms.
Mrs Jarvis said: "It has taken us the best part of a year to get ready but it's finally here."
The tearooms, which are decorated with candles and a fireplace, employ 10 staff.
The new tearooms and B&B will have a website, www.sherstonangel.co.uk

MIDDLEBURY - The Middlebury Panthers men's ice hockey team outplayed the Norwich Cadets on both ends of the power play enroute to a 3-2 win last Saturday in Middlebury. The Panthers had five power play opportunities and capitalized on two of them.
Mason Graddock netted a shot - the eventual game-winner - that broke a 2-2 tie in the third period. Junior forward John Sullivan scored Middlebury's only even-handed goal in the first period, while goalie Doug Raeder preserved the one goal win with 17 saves.
On the other end, the Norwich Cadets had six power play opportunities, but the Panthers managed to kill off five of them. Nikita Kashirsky scored the Cadets lone power play goal. If it wasn't for the efforts of Norwich goalie Ryan Klingensmith and his 24 saves the final score could have been much more lopsided. He kept his Cadets in the game with a chance to win right up to the final horn.
Middlebury remains undefeated at 4-0-0 with the win, while Norwich falls to 2-1-1 with the loss. The Panthers are at Salem State on Friday before traveling to Southern Maine this Saturday.
Lady Panthers preserve no-loss record
Meanwhile, the lady Panthers improved to 4-0-1 last weekend with a pair of impressive road wins. On Saturday Grace Walters and Erika Nakamura scored two goals each to lead the Panthers to an 8-2 thumping of the Hamilton Continentals.
Maggie Melberg and Julia Ireland aided the onslaught with a goal and an assist each, while Corey Cooper and Marjie Billings both added single goals.
Junior Lani Wright was busy in the net, making 22 saves for the victorious Panthers, who out-shot Hamilton 37-24 in what proved to be a wide-open contest. Kathryn Kroleski and Christie Sharlow tallied a goal and an assist each for Hamilton, who dropped to 3-1-0 with the loss.

Qatar Foundation and RAND Corporation to Conclude RQPI Agreement
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
RAND Office of Media Relations
(703) 414-4795
(310) 451-6913
December 23, 2013
The RAND Qatar Policy Institute was founded in Doha a decade ago to conduct critical research
Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development and RAND Corporation will complete a decade-long agreement that resulted in the establishment of the RAND Qatar Policy Institute (RQPI) in Doha.
Qatar Foundation and RAND signed the agreement in 2003 with the aim of studying the most pivotal issues facing the region by harnessing the skills of hundreds of research experts. The agreement between RAND and Qatar Foundation included the support of RQPI's full-time workforce of both expatriate and Qatari research associates, who worked side-by-side in Doha.
"Qatar Foundation remains committed to building upon its academic and research excellence by forging partnerships that allow it to assist in the nation's journey towards a knowledge economy," said Engineer Saad Al Muhannadi, President of Qatar Foundation. "We would like to thank RAND for their work over the last decade."

Perhaps encouraged by the response to a recent column about the reasons GenXers are unhappy at work (a piece that elicited over 430 reader comments and generated a follow-up slideshow on the subject), BusinessWeek recently launched on an online survey, asking all readers to voice their workplace pet peeves for publication in a mid-August special issue.
So far, nearly 8,500 readers commented or cast their votes, allowing the news magazine to narrow the top workplace complaints down to these six:
- 1. Balancing work-life duties without going crazy
- 2. Staying entrepreneurial and taking risks in an era of uncertainty
- 3. Managing your time so e-mail and Crackberries don't control you
- 4. Negotiating a stultifying bureaucracy-and getting things done
- 5. Dealing with generational tension in the workplace
- 6. Coping with clueless-or toxic-bosses
Already, today's record-high gas prices have led more companies to implement flex schedules and work-from-home options. Now it seems, with the (not-so-surprising) revelation that trying to balance work-life duties is the number one worker agitation, businesses have yet one more reason to implement such policies.
What about you? Do you offer – or have you recently started to offer – work-life balance benefits at your own company? Why or why not? And what about these other peeves, wherein the solution isn't so obvious? Do they surprise you? How might you respond were it your own employees voicing these complaints?Related

"Frankly I consider myself a storyteller, first and foremost, and believe my greatest strength is an ability to conform to the very different demands of various media. Most novelists are bewildered by the visual needs of comics and screenwriting; working in these various forms of narrative storytelling comes naturally to me, probably because I have always been as big a fan of movies and comics as I've been of fiction."

Liquidation value
Liquidation value is the estimated price shareholders would receive in the event a company goes out of business.
Expanded Definition
Liquidation value differs from book value in that book value usually lists assets at the lower of cost or market or in the case of machinery at depreciated value. Going concern value is often based on some multiple of earnings. Book value is based on the cost of assets. Liquidation value goes the next step and attempts to estimate the current market value of assets if they were sold.
In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation value minus outstanding debts gives a better estimate of funds likely to be available to shareholders.

Mining Contract: Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling for Underground Mines
|Contract Detail
|Contract #
|Start Date
|Research Concept
A better understanding is needed of the exact behavior of longwall ventilation—specifically, the ventilation of bleeder and bleederless gobs, where flammable or explosive concentrations of methane are known to exist. This research expands on previous work on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and uses FLUENT code to develop a modeling and predictive tool for mine ventilation.
|Program Area
Contract Status & Impact
This capacity-building contract is ongoing.
The purpose of capacity-building contracts is to help build the capacity of our nation's workforce to address critical safety and health problems in U.S. mines by producing graduates with advanced degrees in mining and minerals engineering, and to help develop tenure-track faculty performing research in these areas. Applications for these competitive grants are announced as part of NIOSH OMSHR's Broad Agency Announcements and are submitted by a Principal Investigator at a U.S. institution offering an ABET-accredited undergraduate degree in mining or minerals engineering.
For further information on capacity-building contracts, please submit a request to email@example.com.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Red, Wavy, Coarse Eyes: Green
Very good facial oil! I use this as an occasional night treatment. It moisturizes very well, it gives me silky soft skin and the fact that it is completely organic is also a big plus. One small con: it smells absolutely horrible. And with horrible I mean really nasty! It's fragrance free, meaning that they didm't add perfume, but the natural smell of this oil just makes me gag... Maybe I'll add a drop of lavender oil to make it smell less bad..? Anyway, good oil, good price, awful smell, that's about it!
EDIT: This stuff is a blessing in disguise when it comes to cystic pimples! I had one on my chin the beginning of this week and it has diminished a lot since rubbing this on day and night!

Even when the script slips into sentiment, Peirce sticks with her troubled, questing soldiers, and through this raw and riveting movie, they stick with us. show more

Clearly, Peirce's motives are pure. She's not using the "stop-loss" issue as a wedge to make the government or the administration look bad. She's using it to dramatize an injustice and to advocate on behalf of the soldiers. show more

Despite several attempts, we're still waiting for the drama that convincingly captures the experienc of soldiers who've fought in Iraq. Stop-Loss" isn't that film, but at the very least its efforts are honorable. show more

A young cast and hotheaded melodramatic streak make it broadly accessible, perhaps enough so to help the film scrape past boxoffice challenges faced by other Iraq-centered features. show more
Ken Fox TV Guide
It's a richly textured, psychologically acute film that takes an unblinking look at the tattered life of the returning soldier, and it's boosted by two powerful performances from Phillippe and the increasingly impressive Tatum, a former underwear model who has somehow turned into a fine actor. show more
Chicago Tribune
While Stop-Loss doesn't pack anything like the emotional wallop of her previous film, the movies do share Peirce's clear-eyed refusal to answer difficult questions with simplistic answers. show more

Someone watching Stop-Loss with younger eyes might feel the heat of the main soldier's dilemma more than I did, but I couldn't help thinking director Kimberly Peirce was presenting us with abstract ideas in the forms of half-realized characters. show more

Wonderful movie with a powerful message. Doesn't matter if you are pro or anti war. This movie shows something that is happening everyday in our country that many people are unaware of. It is unfortunate for our soliders who did what they agreed to and then got screwed by our president. Everyone should be thankful to these men and women who put their lives on the line for us, weather they are there by choice or by force, they are still there.

I really dont understand any of you because this movie was really interesting to me. I mean seriously are any of you out there fighting this thing im guessing not if you're here typing a review for some movie. So basically neither of you have any clue what is goin on over there and I have a lot of family and friends fighting in this war. We need to support our soildiers to the fullest. Half the stuff they see you will never have to encounter. So i think its real stupid that our soildiers are being stop lossed if they have served their contract thats all that needs to be done.

This dose nothing to support our real troops Who Bravely fight for our freedom. It is with disgrace that this movie has even been funded. In reality we dont need a bunch of cry babys who think freedom is worth less than their life. I'm trying to get to the point that those who have no freedom would sacrifice anything or anyone to obtain it. Thank God our Founding Fathers, and those who followed them including George Bush were as intelligent and brave as they come.FISH

If your anti war...your most likely going to like this movie. If your pro war...your most likely going to hate this movie. Unless both of the parties go in thinking it is just a movie made for entertaining. Because on either side there are MANY holes in this movies "facts". I just think its funny when pro war people go see obvious blatent anti war films then explode in a "i'm so offended" frenzy about what they saw later.

After reading the professional critic reviews of this movie, most of whom said this was a NON-political movie, I went to see it. After sitting through the entire thing, I stayed through the credits to see if the writer/producer/director was Hillary Clinton - it was THAT political. I was appalled at the blatant anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-government, anti-military message that was rampant throughout. The movie's sad attempts at invoking outrage and bleeding-heart-ism by listing all the KIA and portraying the soldiers as unwitting pawns who seemingly had no idea what they were doing when the signed up (did you get that??? SIGNED UP?? as in VOLUNTEERED??) paled in comparison to the portrayal of the Army mom. I was disgusted, outraged, angered, and offended by her approval and suggestion that her son go AWOL. Even driving him to Mexico?! Where he would always be a fugitive, a coward, a dishonor to his country, his family, and his unit?? Never to see him again except eventually in jail?? I don't know of any other Army mom (I know a lot and I AM an Army mom - a PROUD Army mom!) who wants her son to die. But I and all those I know would rather have our sons die with honor than live as cowards in disgrace. Don't go see this movie - it is inaccurate in so many ways (other than the Stop-Loss fantasy, no soldier who goes AWOL and tries to desert would be allowed to deploy - he'd be chaptered out), it is VERY political, and it insults every man and woman in uniform. The writers, producers, directors, studio execs, and everyone connected with this movie should be ashamed.

I had volunteered to see this movie because of the cast, and because the trailer appealed to me. I've to say that although I usually associate these particular actors with more mainstream films and do not take them as seriously as I could, their acting is more than superb. Channing Tatum and Ryan Philippe's dramatic scene in the cemetery blew me away. I highly recommend this film to anyone with any interest at all in this sort of film.

Stop-Loss is the story of a squad of Iraq vets and one squad leader in particular returning from war. After leading his men into an ambush in which some were killed and others suffered terrible wounds, Sgt. King plans to leave the Army when his enlistment is up. Instead he is "stop-lossed" and ordered back to Iraq. See my full review at johnhuntspace.com/stoploss.html

Does a surprisingly good job at lessening leg cramps.
- Does as advertised
As I have been pushing the mileage on the trail recently, one of the side effects has been my legs starting to cramp up, despite drinking lots of water. One of my fellow hikers recommended Vitalyte so I gave it a try and so far, no more leg cramps since it helps replenish your electrolytes.
I like the grape taste myself and am not a fan of orange although orange is popular. Overall, it is definitely a help out there.
We have been drinking Vitalyte since the Gookinaid days (nearly 20 years) and selling it at Ok Velo (bike shoppe) It is very underated for its intended purpose It is in our house fridge year around
1 month ago
Where to Buy
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
