Government Contracting of Private Military and Security Companies
IPI convened a retreat last week with the support of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the Greentree Foundation to generate recommendations for states contracting private military and security companies. In the wake of the recent scandal around the alleged killing of Iraqi civilians by Blackwater contractors, it is becoming all too clear how contractor misconduct eventually comes back to hurt whoever is footing the bill.
As a result, many governments and private security companies are ready to talk about more stringent contracting arrangements. Last week, IPI, in cooperation with the Swiss government, convened consultations among government contracting experts to identify good practice in government contracting of private military and security companies.
The meeting, one of four Expert Consultations within the Swiss Initiative on Private Military and Security Companies, produced inputs for a non-binding but authoritative paper which is expected to be approved by governments in 2008. The focus of the Initiative is ensuring respect for international humanitarian law and human rights law.
The meeting drew together experts from government, civil society and academia in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond. The talks made considerable progress, generating recommendations relating to the selection of contractors, vetting, training, contract management, monitoring and enforcement. The Swiss Initiative paper will likely contain an affirmation of applicable international law as well as elements of good practice for states dealing with private military and security companies, whether as contracting clients, host-nation regulators or export regulators.

Book Review
Cher Me This …
It's a new biography, man.
Most people know about Cher from her illustrious music career. Hits like "I Got You Babe" and "The Beat Goes On," with her former husband and music partner Sonny Bono, put her in the public eye. But her solo hits "If I Could Turn Back Time" and "Believe"—which, I'll admit, was a personal obsession of mine as a child—are what catapulted her to iconic status.

A Belleville, Mich.-based land surveying and civil engineering consultant has begun operations in Central Ohio.
Metro Consulting Associates LLC has opened at 470 Olde Worthington Ave. in Westerville, citing a need to better serve an increase in the firm's energy business.
"Transmission and land acquisition will be immediate services offered in the Ohio market," Operations Manager Damon Garrett said in a statement.

CEO Jeff Evans said the company signed a year-long lease and expects to have about four employees in the office.
"We're going to start small and grow it organically," Evans said.
Metro Consulting provides services including logistics and transportation planning, land acquisition, ordinance due diligence and infrastructure analysis. The company has 40 employees and revenue of about $5 million a year, according to Evans.

Woodworking Tool Set For Getting Started
You want to start woodworking, but you're a little intimidated by the number of the tools you'll need and what it'll do to your budget. For $300, FootPrint Tools offers a 17-piece woodworking tool kit that's probably adequate to you get started right away.
The set includes:
- A block plane
- A bench plane
- A jack plane
- A 10-1/2″ carpenter's bevel
- A 10-1/2″ square
- A marking gauge
- A 4-1/2″ Beechwood mallet
- Nine wood chisels (1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″, 7/8″, 1″, 1-1/4″, 1-1/2″)
- An adjustable honing guide
The bevel, square, and marking gauge are made from rosewood and brass and the chisels have polypropylene handles.
The Original MJ Splitter
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not sure where I left the blade guard/splitter for my table saw, and frankly I don't really care; it's a real pain to remove and replace and it gets in the way of at least half of the operations I perform. Now, I really like the idea of a built-in riving knife that moves with the blade, so maybe on my next saw — but for now this removable splitter from Micro Jig has caught my eye.
Not only does the MJ Splitter keep the workpiece from pinching the blade, it also can act as a mini-featherboard to keep the workpiece against the fence after it exits the blade — something that's not easy to do any other way. By choosing one of the four sides of the two included splitters, you can adjust the amount of pressure the splitters apply by changing how much it is offset from the blade in increments of .003″.
Kreg's New Router Setup Bars
Should you turn in your brass setup bars for a set of Kreg's new precision router table setup bars? Probably not, but they are an interesting alternative for setting up your table saw, router, and other tools.
While brass setup bars are just pieces of square or rectangular stock machined to tight tolerances, Kreg designed their bars with three different gauges on each bar to easily measure tool height, cut depth gauge, and the distance from tool to the fence. The new style of setup bars might be easier to use for woodworkers who aren't accustomed to using brass setup bars; you can't stack their bars to get different thicknesses.
Overpriced Center Finder
When I first saw Eagle's Marking Center Finder, I thought, "Cool, that works on the same principle as Rockler's mortise-centering router baseplate." Looking at the PVC-made jig, I figured it'd be 5 to 10 bucks tops, but then I saw $25 price tag and figured I'd tell everyone they should spend 15 minutes in the shop and make one with a with a piece of scrap wood and a section of dowel instead.
It's simple geometry that if you build it right, drilling three evenly spaced holes on a line, the resulting jig should be pretty accurate in finding the center of a board. And if you build your own you won't be limited to the width of a 2×4 like Eagle's model.
An Inexpensive And Portable Air Cleaner
The smarter we become, the more we realize that wood dust and other airborne pollution isn't very healthy for us to inhale — not to mention the how pissed off the homeowner becomes when there's a thick layer of sawdust or drywall dust over everything in the house. For your shop you can install permanent air cleaners, but are you going to drag them with you to every job site?

Is whey protein safe? Mayo Clinic
Research shows it can help reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome
|Report an Error
Share via Email
I'm interested in taking whey protein to improve my health. Is it safe?
Whey protein is generally safe for most adults when used appropriately, Mayo Clinic experts say. But too much can lead to unwanted side effects, such as nausea, bloating, cramps, reduced appetite, fatigue and headache.
People who are allergic to cow's milk and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid whey protein, as should people whose kidneys don't work well. It may interact with some medications.
How much whey protein you should take depends on how much protein you get in your diet.
Research shows whey protein may help:
•reduce risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions that raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes
•lower blood sugar
•satisfy hunger
•reduce age-related muscle loss
If you want to try whey protein, talk to your doctor about its risks and benefits.

Was my kid the only kid that cried and didn't want to walk in her preschool Halloween Parade? I was surprised that she reacted that way and I'm not sure why I felt like my kid was the only one that was upset. All the other kids were just walking on their own with no problem and mine was crying and either clinging in the arms of the teachers aide or clinging to me. Is there something I an doing wrong? It's bit like she should be overly attached and not used to being away from me or anything. Unfortunately I do work 30 hrs a week, so everyday I have to leave her with grandma or daycare or she goes to preschool, so it'd not like I don't expose her to enough. So what am I doing wrong that she still gets so upset in these situations?

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I think she was just nervous. To her, a parade is a new experience. She may have been scared.

Pulling a "Toad" on a Trailer?
You might find a trailer light enough to work, especially if you go with one that is open in the middle, something like THIS Carry-on model. Biggest problem you're going to have with using a trailer is not so much the total weight of the trailer and vehicle exceeding your hitch's 5000 lb limit, but with the tongue weight. Your hitch receiver is most likely limited to 5000 lbs total weight, and 500 lbs tongue weight. Frequently by the time you load a 4000 lb car on a flatbed trailer, the tongue weight it will place on the MH hitch receiver is going to be significantly more than 500 lbs. If you get much over that, its not just a matter of beefing up the hitch receiver to one that can handle more tongue weight. You have to also worry about the strengh of any frame extensions the manufacturer may have added to the back of MH chassis, load/weight shift on the MH tires and axles, etc. This is the main reason that every time I get tempted to go the trailer route instead of 4 down towing, I quickly scrap the idea. Only way I'd seriously consider trailer towing, would be if I had a MH that came with a 10k hitch receiver from the factory, so I know it was designed to handle the heavier tongue weight. Anyway, for these reasons, I definitely agree with advice already mentioned, that you need to hit the weigh scales before buying anything. Sure would hate for you to find out after you're stuck with the trailer, that it won't really work, either.

A/C while driving
Depends on several factors. If its just two in the MH up front in the driver and passenger seat and your passenger doesn't typically go to the back often for anything...The dash air may well be enough. On most units, the dash air is enough to keep the very front (driver and passenger) cool, but thats about it. If anyone else is riding back in the coach, you will want to run the genny and at least one air conditioner in hot weather (unless your passengers back there don't mind being a bit hot). Any time you stop to rest for a bit, eat something, etc., you're going to want to fire up the genny and run at least one air conditioner. You also may want to fire up the genny and air conditionr an hour or so before you get to your destination, so that by the time you get there, the coach is already cool and comfortable. You will hardly notice the difference in fuel consumption when on the road with the genny running vs not running. When your drivetrain engine is powering you down the highway gulping down about 8 or 10 gallons an hour, the extra half gallon your generator uses per hour is not that significant. Typically during the summer months, unless its unusually cool, we run the generator and at least one air conditioner when on the road. Have to 'round here in the South, otherwise it becomes unbearably hot back in the coach for the rest of the family (kids).

M/H to Toad Braking Systems
x2 M&G is very solid and simple to connect the toad. ...One thing to keep in mind with M&G: It is incompatible with a lot of vehicles. I believe this is partly because it mounts onto the brake master cylinder, makes the master cylinder protrude further out by a few inches as a result. If there isn't enough clearance for the master cylinder to protrude out a few more inches, M&G will not work. There's probably other more technical reasons why M&G is incompatible in many cases, but its definitely something you need to check into and research before plunking down the $$ on an expensive system like that. With how tight I've seen things are under the hood with many newer vehicles, I'm amazed M&G can work with ANY modern vehicle, haha. :)

AirForce 1 brake system vs Ready Brake
I hope you will reconsider your decision about not having a breakaway system. I consider it to be a requirement for any supplemental MH/toad brake system. While a runaway toad is unlikely to be a hazard to you and yours, it is a serious hazard to others, both on the road and anywhere else near the breakaway. In addition, it gives you some defense if a breakaway causes any legal action from law enforcement or civil suit. The law isn't entirely clear in every state, but many require a breakaway system for any towed trailer/car, etc. exceeding some weight limit, and any toad most likely exceeds most of those weight limits. I also hope you will install a brake indicator on your MH dash operated from the toad BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. When connected that way, you get an immediate indication when the supplemental brake system is braking or not braking. That not only warns you about system failure, but about operator error as well. I once failed to hook up the AF1 air hose and got an immediate "no brake action" warning before leaving the campsite. Hehe, wca01 and I might have 'disagreed' a little bit earlier about which system is the better choice, but I agree 110% with him on all of this. Especially about wiring a brake light indicator directly off the brake pedal/switch on the toad, not to anything with the supplemental braking system (RB actuator or whatever). Its really nice to know exactly what your toad brakes are doing or not doing, not necessarily what your supplemental brake sytem may THINK is going on. Will

AirForce 1 brake system vs Ready Brake
..Here's some other thoughts to ponder, to help in making your decision: There are ZERO independent tests ever been done with any of these brake systems, to back up ANY claims of how much percentage one system may improve stopping over another. Just because one manufacturer may claim 50% better stopping power or 30% better stopping power, does not mean ANY of it is necessarily true. There really is no way to know with certainty, if a Readybrake surge system will stop with any more or less stopping power than AF1 or any other system. A surge system like Readybrake, indeed requires some 'push' on the tow bar before it engages. Is it enough to significantly affect braking performance, to the extent some proponents of AF1 system would have you believe? Here again, without any independent testing of the various systems, its impossible to say. For all we know, the same would be true for AF1 and any other system (that some 'push' is applied to MH before toad brakes engage). It depends on several different factors. Sure, in THEORY, toad brakes powered directly off of the MH's air brakes should brake things a little more evenly. But, without putting a bunch of sensors of some kind on the tow bar, you really will never know. Every setup is different, and a zillion factors enter into just how braking will occur. Is it really worth spending over $1000 more (plus additional installation) for a system that claims to have better performance, when there are ZERO independent tests done ANYWHERE to back such claims up? Thats a decision you have to make. I do know I'd have a really hard time spending that much more $$ without some pretty solid, significant proof that it will perform significantly better. But, thats just me. Also, as already said, remember how simple the Readybrake is, and the fact that most of the things that may break or wear out on it, you will be able to buy parts at any hardware store for less than $20 to fix it. I doubt you'd be finding AF1 parts at a corner hardware store for less than $20. And, one really nice thing about a mechanical system like Readybrake: You can inspect many of its components for wear and tear regularly, and fix worn parts before they become a problem. The same cannot be said for many components of a system like AF1. Will

Self insuring vs Roadside Assistance
I know it's a wide open field given all of the different types of RVs there are out there but I'm wondering what folks that have had to pay out of pocket for their own towing,tire replacement, as well as other problems that you would typically use RA for have had to pay. I have a Class C and am curious what someone with a similar RV has paid for some of the basic services that they have used. I'm hoping your answers will help me decide about self insuring against break downs and tire service. Thanks Let's deal with the question. ERS or "RA" as you call it is Insurance. Medical Insurance pays some (or all) of your medical costs. Life Insurance pays your beneficiary. Home Owners insurance pays for (some/most) losses to your domicile. All types of insurance are "for profit" of the insurance company. They make money by the service/product you *don't* use. ERS or RA - whether it's for a lock-out, tow, or tire change has limitations. Are they going to provide drive line *repairs*? Repair your fridge? Tech advice - probably/maybe (who knows how good it will be). Vehicle warranty (or you) need to take care of that. IMO - "we" are all capable of changing a flat. Given enough time with a wire coat hangar - "we" may be able to get past locked car/truck with keys inside. Do you want to do that - or have someone else do it for you? Can "we" tow our own car/truck/RV to a repair facility? Unfortunately, probably not. Can "we" find and contact a company that will tow our vehicle when we're stuck in the middle of nowhere, and find an appropriate repair shop there to do any repairs needed, again, in the middle of nowhere where you have no idea where you are or who you could possibly call? Unfortunately, probably not. This is why ERS or RA insurance is soo valuable to have when on the road, regardless whether it saves you any $$ in the long run on an actual tow or not. Soooo the solution is to have some kind of ERS which will do that. The added "perks" - types of service rendered, towing distance, etc. are like those other types of insurance......how much do you want/need? Check the price of a 5-10-50 mile tow from *any* tow service in your area....for just a car or pickup (or an RV). You can "interpolate" what the fee would be in the boondocks - and tack-on additional $ depending on the tow vehicle req'd. Bottom line: If you have deep pockets - go for it..:C Even most states will accept posting of a bond in lieu or carrying auto insurance. You may never need/use the ERS or "RA" -or any other insurance- you pay for. (Life insurance won't do anything for *you*, LOL!) Don't think Warren Buffet has an ERS or needs medical insurance..:S Yep -it's a wide open field. It's your choice to grab the ball and run with it in whichever direction you choose! YMMV ~ All good points. I added one little piece (in bold above), on why ERS or RA insurance of some kind is so good to have. Will

Self insuring vs Roadside Assistance
In my case, I'm not so much paying for towing as I'm paying for knowledge. When we had a flat in Alaska, Coach Net called a road service unit 160 miles away and they had to go another 60 miles into town to find the right size tire, then bring it 200 miles to me. I paid for the tire, but would have had a heck of a time finding it and getting it to me. Also, when the rig quits, where's the nearest competent repair shop? These guys usually know and it could take me hours to find out. Exactly. This is why I keep Emergency roadside service coverage. Its not so much about saving $$ (although it only takes one or two incidents before you are saving $$). Its more about the peace of mind of knowing no matter how far from home we may have a problem, one phone call gets us to someone that will locate an appropriate repair shop and/or tow truck for us. We have Good Sam ERS, and would not want to travel without it. Fortunately, have only had to use it once when we had a tire problem, and they handled it very well, pretty much as expected.

towed brake suggestions
Here's the basic question we ask at it here at RVibrake. What does the law actually say? Here is what Federal Regulation Title 49 says: Federal Regulations Title 49 (49CFR571.4) of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (10-01-08 edition) defines a 'trailer' as follows: "Trailer means a motor vehicle with or without motive power, designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by another motor vehicle." And here are each state's trailer laws: http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/laws/trailer-brakes/HERE I hope this helps! Yep, it does. It basically proves the point thats been made many times on here: You cannot believe or trust 'towing laws' posted on web sites owned by supplemental braking companines (like RViBrake). Note in your Federal Regulations Title 49, it says: "Trailer means a motor vehicle with or without motive power, designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by another motor vehicle." ...As mowermech already said, NO car or truck any of us are towing, was designed from the factory to be drawn by another motor vehicle. They had to be modified to do that. Soooo, like has been said soooo many times: The definition of a 'trailer' as defined by Federal Regulations title 49, pretty much excludes a vehicle being towed behind a MH. Sooo, many of the 'towing laws' that get quoted and thrown around simply do not apply. ...Not that a supplemental braking system isn't a good idea. They are an excellent idea, and something everyone should seriously consider if they're going to tow a car behind a Motorhome. I use one (ReadyBrake) and always will. However, nobody should be deluded into thinking such are required by law in most states, 'cause it simply is not true. IMO, one of the reasons laws are like this: Can you imagine how ridiculous, difficult and obscenely expensive it'd be for anyone running a tow truck business, if they were required by law to rig any broke down car they tow with a supplemental brake system? LOL, you think getting a tow when you break down now is expensive, imagine how bad it'd be if tow truck drivers had to do this!

Oh no -- Unfurling electric awnings! Bruce Ohhh, yeah, thats right, 'cause manual awnings have NEVER been known to unfurl when going down the road, right? :R ...For those that prefer not to learn very expensive lessons the hard way about what wind can do to an awning, Here's a thread discussing why many of us prefer our electric awning.

Ford C-Max Plug-in Hybrid
..Sounds like its almost a no-brainer decision, if there's a tax incentive that will cover most of the additional purchase price of the Energi (plug-in) version. Only thing you have to consider/think about, is if you can live with the loss of some space inside due to the larger batteries the Energi version has. We have a 2013 Fusion hybrid, which has same basic hybrid drivetrain as the C-Max. When we bought it over a year ago, plug-in Energi versions of the Fusion hybrid were very difficult to find, almost non-existent at that time. Also, tax incentive wasn't as good or as easy to get as yours. Sooo, we went with the regular hybrid version. Our main reason for getting it was the ease of flat towing, anyway, not so much mileage. That (mileage) was just a very nice, added bonus. Its been great, have absolutely no complaints. Mileage is unbelievable as already mentioned (I average 48-50 commuting to work and back every day). Its a blast to drive and really like the looks of it. And, you just cannot beat how simple and easy it is to flat tow. No fuses or battery to disconnect, no crazy procedure to go through with the tranny when hooking up, no stopping every few hours to go through another crazy procedure, none of that mess. Just hitch it up, put it in neutral and go. It is also really, really nice to have at campgrounds and parks, since you can ride around almost totally silent (and emission free), without bothering other campers as much. Its almost like having a big, very comfortable golf cart to ride around in, haha. :) As already said, you definitely do have to run a charge line for it when you wire up your tail lights, etc. for the vehicle. Very easy and cheap to do though, especially if you do it at the same time you're in there wiring up the tail lights, anyway.

Warning -- wind damage.....awnings!
An electric awning requires a different mindset. I was an manual awning staker with my prior TT. I ratchet strapped everything down and was ready for battle. Now that I have an electric awning I don't consider going to battle.... Lantley, with us, mindset never really changed much when we went to an eletric awning. In both cases (manual as well as electric), we have always chose not to even try to fight that battle. We just roll the thing up whenever we leave the campsite, or if there is a storm in the forecast. Electric awning just makes it much, much easier and quicker to 'withdraw' from that battle, like you said. :) Chosing to 'fight that battle' and anchor down an awning, IMO is a case of too much risk, for too little reward. I bet if you asked folks that had an awning destroyed by wind and had to fork out bunches of $$ to replace it, very few if any would still be anchoring down their awning and trying to fight that battle. 'Tis a case of a lesson you learn and remember very well, when you learn it the hard way. Will

AirForce 1 brake system vs Ready Brake
....In 4 years of towing, including 2 trips through the Rockies, the car's brakes have never activated unless I pressed the MH brakes. The engine braking on the long, steep grades has never activated the car's brakes. Yep, pretty much same experience I've had, Bobbo, as noted in previous post. NSA seems to have their spring, actuator designed (at least on the newer units) with enough resistance in it to prevent this from happening. However, based on Scott's experience (original poster), it may be that a diesel exhaust brake does enough braking to cause the actuator to engage in some circumstances. Like he said, though, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, just a matter of personal preference. You and I both have gassers and don't use an exhaust brake, and it seems in that case the RB actuator does not engage unless/until brake pedal is pushed. With ANY system that presses the car's brake pedal, I recommend a dash indicator light hooked to the car's brake lights............ There are 5 wires, 1 of which is unused (87a, Normally Closed). Two wires (85 and 86) hook to the car's brake light hot wire and the car's ground. Two wires (30 and 87, Normally Open) are carried out to the front of the car and a jumper wire carries them to the Ready Brake dash indicator light. Yep, I agree, and did same thing on mine (although not using same components). Prefer to know when brake pedal is actually being pushed, not when RB actuator is moving. Readybrake actually used to instruct you to wire it that way, but changed it when so many folks started disconnecting battery, fuses on toad vehicle, making that approach a bit complicated in some cases.

Warning -- wind damage.....awnings!
Yes, it always amuses me when I read threads where people talk about how much they love their manual awnings, and how they can anchor it down and just leave it up the entire trip and never worry about it. Even when we had a manual awning, I NEVER did that. Seen way too many cases like described here, where a storm or wind came up and ripped awning canvas to shreds, in some cases leaving the arms right where they are, anchored to the ground. Other cases, seen those arms get bent up like toothpicks and destroyed just like the canvas. It seems lots of folks just think it can't happen to them, but I'm here to tell you it can. If we're not at the campsite, or if there is a threat of a storm, the awning goes up. Period. That was the case when we had a manual awning on the TT we owned for years, as well as with the electric awning we have with the MH. Really like the electric awning much better, as it allows us to roll the awning up much quicker and easier. Just push one button, without even having to step outside. In the event we do leave it up when its raining, ran buildup drains off easily as well with the dump feature it has (without having to tip one side down like you have to with manual awnings).

AirForce 1 brake system vs Ready Brake
Very good points, Scott, most of which I agree with. Definitely something to be said for a system that will work directly off of your coach's air brakes like the AF1 will. Its just a question of whether that type of system is worth its significant extra cost. Thats a decision only you can make for yourself. Only two things you mention here, that I'm not sure I agree with: ...using advance mathematics, the price difference hovers around $100. That's not all that much difference. ..If you can truly get into a new 10,500 lb rated tow bar AND an AF1 system for only $100 more than what a Readybrute Elite with Readybrake would cost, then I'd say go with the Air Force 1 system. However, I'm not quite following your 'advance mathematics', and not sure I follow how you get that the price difference is only $100? A Readybrute elite with Readybrake can be had for $1175 with free shipping at hitchsource. Air Force one is $1149 with free shipping from same place. And, if you went with the AF1, you'd still have to buy a tow bar which is going to be at least another $600-800 (probably more, since you're talking about going to a 10,500 lb rated tow bar). Where exactly are you getting a new tow bar with 10,500 lb rating, for around $200? :) My guess is that you're not, and are comparing buying a Readybute Elite to just buying an AF1 and keeping your existing tow bar. Indeed, in that case the price difference isn't much, but its not really a fair apples to apples comparison that way. With a more realistic comparison, the price difference is much, much more substantial, more like $1000 like I already mentioned. The Ready Brute or, even just the Ready Brake, as has been stated, is a "surge brake" and, being such, CAN cause undue ware. Does it in fact? Well, who's to tell. Based on how worn my unit is, it's applying the toad brakes considerably more than it should. Hence, the reason I'm thinking about another type of braking system. I wondered the same thing, Scott, when I bought our Readybrake years ago. I have found, though, at least in our case, there is not (undue wear on toad brakes). I have watched very closely our toad brake light indicator whenever we are going down mountain inclines, and tranny is in tow/haul mode holding low gear, engine howling at 4000+ RPM to keep the speed down. We do that quite a bit, and we tow pretty heavy toads - a 4,600 lb minivan initially, and now a nearly 4,000 lb Ford Fusion hybrid. In all our trips through the mountains watching that brake light indicator, Not ONCE have I EVER seen it come on going down inclines, except when I hit the service brake. Soo, that leaves me wondering if 1 of 2 things is true: 1. NSA has improved and tightened up their newer units, and new ones aren't as prone to engage the brakes unnecessarily. 2. Your Exhaust brake is applying more 'stopping' power than a Torqueshift tranny and V10 dropping down in low gear would, just enough more to cause your RB actuator to engage where mine is not. Anyway, good luck whatever you decide. Definitely interesting to learn what you mentioned about how the RB is actually made inside. I'm a big fan of the 'KISS' principle (keep it simple), so I'm actually glad to know the Readybrake actuator is that simple. :) Will

Holding Tank Usage
..Been in that spot many times. I prefer to dump at the end of all trips regardless (provided there is access to a sewer hookup or dumping station). Reason being, I've learned that if you let 'waste' sit in your tank for a long time (several weeks), even a small amount.....The smell coming from the tank next time you take the RV out can be very nasty (regardless what chemicals you use or don't use). If black tank is only partially full at the end of the trip, just run water through the toilet, get the tank as full realistically possible with just water. Then, dump it. The more water in your black tank when dumping, the better. Thats what I do in that situation.

...You would do well to do some research yourself. Your ignorant opinions are not helpful to the OP. You say, "The Air Force 1 system is an 'electronic box' type controller system. Meaning, it is controlled by electronics". That is untrue! There are no electronics in the Air force 1. There is just one electrical connection to generate vacuum for the break away switch LOL, you say no electronics in it, then in the very next sentence mention an electrical connection it has. In the words of Larry the Cable guy, "Now thats funny right there, I don't care who you are!" And yet *I* am the ignorant one that needs to do the research?

One thought came to me this morning.. My towed took a hit, It rides way lower to the ground than the motor home but it took a hit fairly high on the bumper, Passenger side, missed the engine but took out the windshield washer tank (Pushed it into the tire) Gives hope. Might have been road hazard damage, that is covered, well 800 deductable and that I have or shortly will. ..Just hope that the 'hit' your toad took, doesnt look too much like a connecting rod that might have been launched out of the MH engine. Hopefully, the hit your toad took was related to the 'cause' of the incident, not the effect. Will

Flat Towing
Just over a year ago, we purchased a Ford Fusion hybrid, that has same basic hybrid drivetrain as your C-max. We absolutely love it, glad to see you're happy with yours, too. We got it mostly 'cause of how simple and easy it is to flat tow. Mileage was just an added bonus. I thought it was ridiculous that Ford got all that 'grief' about the mileage, so much so that they felt the need to compensate many owners for mileage not being represented right. My thoughts with it was, yea, mileage isn't quite what was advertised. I'm actually on average getting MORE mileage than was advertised! I average between 48 and 50 commuting to work and back every day. Driving style, technique, etc. plays a huge role in the mileage you get with a hybrid. Even more so than with a conventional drivetrain. I think a lot of people got these things and drove them like a sports car, then griped and complained that they didnt get 47 mpg. If one doesn't insist on being the first one away from traffic lights and the last one to start braking....Well, you can easily get the advertised mileage of a hybrid. Otherwise, your mileage will be a little lower. Not sure if you've learned this 'the hard way' yet or not, but one thing you do have to do when towing these Ford Hybrids: Run a charge line to the battery. There is a constant draw on the battery with them, and if you don't run a charge line, the battery will be dead after just an hour or two of towing. Very simple and easy to set up a charge line, though, and once you do, you'll never have to worry about running down the battery.

AirForce 1 brake system vs Ready Brake
...Some important key pieces 'wca01' left out, in his marketing propaganda post about SMI Air Force 1: The Air Force 1 also will cost you obscenely more $$ than the Readybrake. Since you're purchasing a new towbar as well, and can get the Readybrute Elite tow bar that comes with Readybrake, the cost difference is even more substantial - well over $1000. And thats without even mentioning the huge cost of installing the AF1, that you will not have to worry about with the Readybrake since you already have the RB cable installed on your toad. Yes, air brakes working directly off of your MH's air brake system is nice, but is it worth paying over $1000 (probably closer to $2000 including installation) more for? The Air Force 1 system is an 'electronic box' type controller system. Meaning, it is controlled by electronics. This introduces the risk that said electronics can fail, over-brake your toad, and do major damage to the brakes. It does happen, read around on here you'll see where it has. OTOH, due to its design, this is something that is just about impossible to ever happen with the Readybrake, once its installed and set up properly. When the Air Force 1 system quits in the middle of nowhere and you need to repair it....Wellll, good luck with that. OTOH, 99% of the things that can break or wear out on the Readybrake, can be repaired by almost anyone with parts you can find at any hardware store for less than $20. Also, those mechanical parts on the Readybrake, you can inspect for wear and catch problems and fix them before it becomes a problem. Kinda tough (impossible) to do that with electronic stuff in the Air Force 1. Also, one day several years from now when you trade toad vehicles....Removing the Readybrake cable and installing it on the new toad will be fairly simple. If you don't want to remove it from old toad, no problem, just buy a new cable from Readybrake for $60 and install it on the new toad. When that day comes and you're using AF1, be ready to shell out a LOT more $$ to remove AF1 from your old toad and install it in the new toad. Anyway, this is obviously your decision, but if it were me, I'd go with a ReadyBrute Elite tow bar and Readybrake system. I would also call NSA, speak to Todd about your situation. I'll bet since you own a Readybrake now that is worn, he may well give you a very good deal on a new Readybrute tow bar, or offer to send you a new or rebuilt RB unit you can use with another tow bar. That could make the price difference between the two even MORE substantial, to the point IMO it'd become a no-brainer decision (even though IMO it already is that).

2011 Buick Lacrosse tow car battery problems
I did have the power connector set up to give a trickle charge while in tow. This does not seem to work. I discussed the pulling of fuse option with the dealer, they said this could cause other problems... ..Not sure quite how you wired the 'trickle charge', but normally running a charge line is the easiest, cheapest, and most simple way to solve battery draining issues. I had exact same problem, and I solved it completely by running a charge line. All you gotta do, really, is run a wire from + of your MH battery (usually already there on back of MH in the 7 pin connector) to the + terminal of toad battery. If you have an extra, unused pin/wire in the umbilical cord used for tail-lights, you can use that and won't have anything else to have to attach/unhook when hitching up. Just have to make sure the chare wire you run is fused both on the MH side as well as on toad side just before it goes to the battery. Ground (negative) should already be wired from your tail-light wiring. If not, you'll need to run a ground wire, too. In many cases this will eliminate the need to have to pull any fuses. And, it eliminates any worry ever about ever running down your toad battery.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard vows to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo and lift Ballon d'Or
Published: 15 January 2014
Updated: 12:27, 15 January 2014
Eden Hazard believes he can follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and be named the world's best player in the future.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho told the Evening Standard yesterday that the 23-year-old has what it takes to become a leading figure in the game if he stays at Stamford Bridge and competes in the Premier League.
Ronaldo was awarded Fifa's Ballon d'Or award for the second time in his career in Zurich earlier this week. Significantly, Hazard's performances for Chelsea were good enough to earn him a place on the 23-man shortlist but he feels the glittering prize could be his one day.
He said: "I always said it, from when I was little, that it's my dream to win the Ballon d'Or. Chelsea gave me the chance to be seen on the world stage, so if I play well I could be seen as a potential Ballon d'Or winner in the future.
"Even seeing my name up among the 23, as I'm one of the youngest, I was really pleased about that.
"I think I have been lucky in my life, in football it has all come very quickly.
"I have had so much from a young age. I scored my goals very early, I got my contract very early and I hope it will continue. I am making the most of it."
Hazard agreed a five-year deal when he joined Chelsea from Lille for £32million in the summer of 2012 and has already made a major impact at the club.
He helped them win the Europa League last term and has been their most outstanding performer during the current campaign.
The Belgium international is Chelsea's top scorer with 11 goals and admits he has wanted to repay the club's faith in him from the moment he arrived at Stamford Bridge.
He added: "I was so keen to learn new things, that's why I made a good start because my hunger was there. I really didn't want to disappoint anyone. I didn't want to make mistakes, I wanted to show I was meant to be here.
"I try not to think too hard about goals and assists, I just try to concentrate on playing well. In a match, if I play well the goals and assists will follow. I try not to focus on that too much because if you just think about scoring, scoring, scoring, you never will.
"By playing your own game you will succeed by either scoring or providing an assist."

The painting has no provenance so we can only presume that the work is by a follower of the artist and offer it as a speculative lot. The painting has an accreditation of dust and grime due to age. There are also marks and imperfections through out. The painting is presented in white wooden frame, with imperfections. The painting is signed lower left and is titled verso. This is a great piece of art and would grace any home or private collection.
Sam Hyde Harris was born in Brentford, Middlesex, England on Feb. 2, 1889. Harris immigrated to Los Angeles in 1904. As a teenager he attended classes at the local ASL and Cannon Art School under Hanson Puthuff, Will Foster, Lawrence Murphy, F. Tolles Chamberlin, and Stanton MacDonald-Wright. Sam Hyde Harris worked in commercial art throughout his career and taught at the Ebell Club, Businessmen's Art Institute, and Chouinard Art School for many years. In 1950 Harris bought Jack Wilkinson Smith's old studio in Alhambra and lived there for the rest of his life. The harbor at San Pedro was one of his favorite painting spots. His early paintings (1920-40) show the influence of his teacher and sketching partner Hanson Puthuff and are bathed in light and atmospheric effects. His late paintings are mostly desert scenes done on sketching trips with Jimmie Swinnerton and are bolder, with a palette of reds, yellows, and greens. Sam Hyde Harris won over 100 awards in southern California exhibitions from 1936 until his death in Alhambra on May 30, 1977.
