August 5, 2011 The downgrade by Standard & Poor's is guaranteed to become a major piece of evidence used by Obama's political opponents against him, as they make the case that he has failed to lead the nation and should not be rewarded with a second term.
August 1, 2011 Maybe Obama could get re-elected with a default under his belt. But it certainly would've increased the already considerable challenges facing him because of high unemployment, housing foreclosures and other spurs to economic anxiety.

Veterans Affairs: Approve the liver transplant of Vietnam veteran Lucius Littlejohn
My father served in the United States Army in Vietnam from 1967-1969. While on duty, his platoon was directly sprayed by Agent Orange- an extremely toxic herbicide used by the United States military- which, 40 years later, caused his liver to fail. A liver transplant could save my father's life.
Duke University Hospital is ready to perform the transplant once they receive the necessary insurance money to pay for it. Unfortunately, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has been dragging their feet to approve the insurance benefits my father is entitled to as a veteran. The VA said that my father qualifies for the insurance over 2 years ago but little action has been taken. So now, my father is dying in Duke University Hospital while the VA takes their time in processing his paperwork.
A doctor in the VA has already told us that if we don't seek outside help, my father will soon die. He is only 62 years old and wants to watch his two grandchildren- Cody, 6, and Kenzie, 2- grow up. Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina is pushing the VA to approve the liver transplant for my father but we need more voices. Please add your voice to save the life of Lucius Littlejohn: a father, grandfather and United States war veteran.

ABSTRACT: Arthroplasty, the implantation of prostheses into joints, is a surgical procedure that is affecting a larger and larger number of patients over time. As a result, it is increasingly important to develop imaging techniques to noninvasively examine joints with prostheses after surgery, both statically and dynamically in 3-D. The static problem is considered here, with the aim to create a 3-D shape model of the bone as well as the prosthesis using a set of 2-D X-rays from various viewpoints. The most important challenge to be addressed is the lack of texture, the most common feature to recover shape from multiple views. In order to overcome this limitation, we reformulate the problem using a novel multiview segmentation approach where an active contours 3-D surface evolution with level-set implementation is used to recover the shape of bones and prostheses in postoperative joints. The recovered shape may then be used to track 3-D motions in dynamic X-ray sequences to obtain kinematic information.
Conference Paper: Knee reconstruction through efficient linear programming[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we propose a novel method to recover the 3D shape of the knee and of the prosthesis for the patients that have undergone total knee replacement surgery. We address this using a set of 2D X-Ray images of the knee taken from different viewpoints around it. The problem is then casted to a multiview stereo reconstruction problem and we consider an energy-minimization approach to recover the bone structure. This function is designed to recover a 3D surface which minimizes image and shape-based terms. The cost related to data is defined through the projections of the 3D surface onto 2D image planes while the prior-knowledge is introduced using a 3D model of the knee. The use of Markov Random Fileds as well as recent advances in discrete optimization and in particular the state-of-the-art Fast PD optimization algorithm is considered towards optimal reconstruction. Promising results demonstrate the potentials of our method.

ABSTRACT: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are expansile osteolytic lesions with thin wall fluid-filled cystic cavities. We report the MR demonstration of delayed enhancement within fluid-filled ABC cavities following the IV injection of Gd-chelates, which has never been previously reported, and discuss the mechanisms which could account for such a phenomenon.
Conference Paper: Multi-view stereo reconstruction of total knee replacement from X-rays[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In total knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee arthroplasty, prosthetics are implanted in the knee joint as treatment for progressive diseases such as arthritis or trauma. In this paper, we aim to recover the 3-D shape of bones and prosthetic devices in patients who have undergone total knee replacement. Such an objective is addressed using a collection of 2-D X-rays acquired from multiple viewpoints. Then, both bone and prosthetic shape recovery are formulated as a multi-view reconstruction process through the minimization of an objective function. The objective function is designed to recover 3-D surfaces, which once projected to 2-D images, minimize edge-based and region-based criteria. The calculus of variations and gradient descent are used to obtain a surface with minimum cost through a 3-D level set implementation. Promising results are given for real X-ray data.

ABSTRACT: L'IRM est désormais une technique alternative aux autres outils d'imagerie corps entier — incluant scintigraphies, TEP-TDM et TDM. Alternative d'abord par la possibilité désormais offerte de couvrir l'ensemble du corps humain en IRM avec des temps d'imagerie limités; alternative aussi et surtout car des outils d'imagerie fonctionnelle — incluant imagerie de diffusion et de perfusion — peuvent naturellement se combiner à cette large couverture anatomique, alternative enfin de par l'absence d'irradiation induite par I'IRM comparativement aux autres techniques citées plus haut. Nous détaillerons ici les progrès de l'instrumentation IRM qui ont rendu possible cette émergence, avant de citer les premières applications cliniques de ce nouvel outil. MRI now offers an alternative imaging technique that combines functional tools with expanded anatomical coverage. Technical progress in magnetic resonance has reduced acquisition times, allowed perfusion and diffusion imaging to be combined with whole body scanning, and made it possible to perform whole body scanning without irradiation. Here we detail the technical advances in whole body MRI and the emerging clinical applications resulting from this new imaging tool.

It has now been almost four years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. But because the Bush administration has not made a priority of securing our border and enforcing the immigration laws within the United States itself, it has also failed in at least one instance to secure a weapons-of-mass-destruction facility on our own soil.
On June 14, the inspector general of the Energy Department completed a report revealing that illegal aliens had been working at one of the Energy Department's "most sensitive sites."
The location in question was the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn. In his report, Energy Inspector General Gregory H. Friedman said: "The mission of Y-12 includes the manufacture of nuclear weapons components; weapons dismantlement, storage and evaluation; and the warehousing of enriched uranium material."
The IG discovered that the Energy Department had hired a contractor who used illegal alien workers for a construction project at the facility.
"We found that foreign construction workers, using false documents, gained access to the Y-12 site on multiple occasions," said the report. "Specifically, we determined 16 foreign construction workers were illegal aliens. Some of these workers acquired facility access badges and were permitted access to the main Y-12 site, and others were permitted access to an adjacent Y-12 leased facility. Certain information associated with the construction of the Y-12 leased facility, which was planned to store documents up to the Secret-Restricted Data level was considered Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) and Official Use Only (OUO). Consequently, these individuals may have had opportunities to inappropriately access this type of information."
Now count the presumed layers of homeland defense these illegal aliens defeated: First, they defeated the defenses we put at our borders to stop people from entering the country illegally or from entering with the intent to stay beyond the terms of their visa. Second, they defeated the defenses we put within the country itself to discover those who are living and working here illegally. Third, they defeated the defenses put in place by the Energy Department to stop unknown foreign nationals from working inside a nuclear weapons facility.
"Also, we learned that the Office of Counterintelligence was not aware of the presence of foreign construction workers at the Y-12 leased facility until notified by the Office of Inspector General during this inspection," reported Friedman. "Counterintelligence checks had not been performed for these individuals to that point."
Well, at least we caught them after they got inside Y-12.

The Process that an Initiate undergoes 'Stage by Stage' helps them 'Realize' those 'Inner Tools', cultivate them and use those 'Tools' which helps them in the 'Processes' of Cultivating the 'Stone'. Helping others and walking in beauty is part of cultivating the 'Stone'. Mystery Schools serve as a Guides and a true School will help the Initiate in coming to Directly Experience Gnosis rather than becomming dependent on the School or Teacher. The same stands for the various Pagan traditions (both Mystery School wise or not).
The idea that Initiates seek 'reward' within these traditions is not intirely correct. During the early stages along the Path, a person does seek these things and it can help them or hinder them but eventually they move beyond these things. As in Initiate, you would be instructed to understand things rather than Judge them.

Great Canadian Speeches, Nellie McClung and the vote for women
Women received the vote in Manitoba 100 years ago, in January 1916, and it did not happen by accident. Nellie McClung and others were forced to take an overtly political route to get there. McClung was well known in western Canada as a writer and an activist for women's rights. On 27 January 1914, Manitoba Premier Rodmond Roblin and members of the legislature met with McClung and a delegation of several hundred from the Political Equality League, which was seeking the vote for women. Roblin treated them condescendingly, and flatly refused them, saying, "I believe woman suffrage would break up the home and send women to mix up in political meetings." The following evening McClung and others turned that meeting into a piece of guerrilla theatre. McClung played the premier's role and mimicked his inflated rhetoric in a mock speech which she made to a fictitious group of men appearing before women legislators asking for the right to vote. McClung's oration is one of those contained in my book Great Canadian Speeches. Continue reading Great Canadian Speeches, Nellie McClung and the vote for women
Trudeau's honeymoon, he over-promised and under-delivers
Our usually hard bitten media pundits are predicting that Justin Trudeau's political honeymoon may continue for many months, but I believe that it's time to begin holding the Liberals to account.
Admittedly there has been a significant shift in tone for which Trudeau deserves credit. He is far more open than was Stephen Harper and he has, for example, met with the premiers, Indigenous leaders, the labour movement and many others who mostly received a back of the hand from the Harper government.

UN climate conference in Paris, no magic fix but signs of hope
The UN Climate Conference in Paris (COP21) will not produce a magic fix to curb the emission of greenhouse gases caused by burning fossil fuels. Given the number of countries and competing interests involved, that is not a surprise. The world's political leaders have been negotiating since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero in 1992 yet carbon emissions have continued to rise.
Cooperating fully
On the other hand, the Paris talks have shown an improvement over previous negotiating sessions. The question is whether human societies can find ways to cooperate fully and quickly enough to stave off a disaster which is already being felt in droughts, wild fires, increasingly violent storms, melting ice caps and rising sea levels. The world's climate scientists have been telling us with growing urgency that we are on track for temperature increases of four or more degrees Celsius by the end of this century, and that would produce catastrophic results.
Leaders accept science
One promising sign is that most political leaders now accept climate science and know they have to act. For example, China was previously determined to grow its economy on the basis of carbon consumption no matter what the environmental costs. However, choking smog caused by emissions and the startling rise of coastal sea levels have sobered the Chinese. In just a few years they have become the world's leader in a various green energy technologies, including wind and solar.
Barack Obama also understands climate change and wants to do something about it. For years, the Americans were stuck with leaders such as George W. Bush who showed little or no interest in the issue. For the most part, Republicans said either that climate change did not exist, or if it did that it was not caused by human activity. The subsidies to big coal and big oil continued unabated in the U.S. Unfortunately, the Republicans are now warning that Congress may negate any promises that Obama makes in Paris. The American people must not allow that to happen.
Canada's record
Canada has been a leader both in pledging to lower greenhouse gas emissions and in breaking those promises. This began with Jean Chretien's government blithely promising at Kyoto in 1997 that it would reduce emissions but then putting no plan in place to do so. The Liberals were replaced by Stephen Harper who was at first a climate change denier. Later he switched to promising environmental regulations that never materialized.
Canada's new federal government says that has all changed now. Rhetorically, that is promising but a vigilant citizenry must hold political leaders to their word. Tens of thousands of Canadians did just that by marching on Sunday, November 29 to call for a carbon free future.
Deniers discredited
Another hopeful sign is that the cadre of climate change deniers has been discredited and is shrinking. Be vigilant, however. The state of New York is investigating Exxon Mobil for allegedly funding groups that deny climate change even as the company's in house scientists warn executives about the consequences of those changes.
Moral and ethical sphere
A final sign of hope has the debate moving beyond the technical to the moral and ethical sphere. Much of the credit must go to Pope Francis who produced a climate change encyclical called Laudato Si in June 2015 in which he accepts climate science and thus further inhibits the deniers.
The pop says that climate change affects the world's poor disproportionately and much of the problem rests with the consumerism of the affluent. He says also that changes can and must occur at both personal and political levels. There is at least a chance that religious faith may influence behaviour in a way that cold, hard facts have failed to do.

Welcoming Syrian refugees to Canada, we cannot turn away
It is heartening to see Canadians rallying to welcome Syrian refugees but before we congratulate ourselves too heartily we should acknowledge that our contributions are modest and the need is great. In the 2015 election campaign, the Liberals rashly promised to provide for 25,000 government-sponsored refugees by December 31, 2015. Immigration Minister John McCallum has now announced that this deadline cannot be met and it has been moved back. That is sensible but it also represents a sleight of hand.

best body lotion for dry skin, especially in winterI have used Garnier Skin Naturals Body Cocoon lotion for more than a year. It is mild enough for daily use and keeps skin fresh and hydrated all day. The only problem is the bottle-you have to keep it upside down once it is half-empty, otherwise the lotion won't flow. No cons though... easily the best moisturizer in this price range.

U.S. MPs train, maintain Iraqi cops
July 1, 2009
By Staff Sgt. Peter Ford, MND-B PAO
BAGHDAD - U.S. military forces continue to train and enable Iraqi Security Forces as the June 30 deadline for a responsible with drawl from Iraqi cities draws near.
A military police transition team from the 463rd Military Police Company "Solid Warriors," 93rd Military Police Battalion, 8th Military Police Brigade, trained with the local Iraqi police of the al-Mansour district of Baghdad, June, 24.
"Every day we train to maintain our standard as well as train and observe the local Iraqi police to enhance their performance," said Staff Sgt. Maurice Rice, a squad leader from Chicago, assigned to the 463rd MP Co. "Each day before we leave to train with the IP, we have a mission brief and conduct a rehearsal on some things we may possibly experience while training with the IP."
Soldiers conduct rehearsals before each mission to ensure everyone is familiar with their duties as well as the duties of their battle buddies. The idea is to have the Soldiers trained well enough to react to dangerous situations as if it were second nature. Training is imperative to being proficient.
"You know as the saying goes, if you don't use it, you lose it," said Rice.
"The local police here in al-Mansour have sufficient police skills and security is excellent here, but there are a few areas that need improvement," said Rice. "We want to show them the importance of continuous training to make them more proficient as police and it will help them maintain the skills they have already learned."
The local IP have already incorporated a few of the suggestions made by the Solid Warriors such as the guard mount. Station commander, Lt. Col. Abbas inspects the weapons and appearance of the police at the beginning of each shift. While inspecting the policemen, he stressed the importance of appearance. He said appearance is vital, and is a direct reflection of the policemen and the police station. Guard mount, a technique adopted by the Iraqi Police from the Coalition forces, ensures the IP are mentally and physically prepared to perform their duties before going on shift.
"Community policing is the act of getting to know people of the community and making them aware the IP are there to keep them safe," said Rice. "The IP will be much more proficient once they fully grasp the concept of community policing."
The continuous training by the Solid Warriors has made the IP of al-Mansour more proficient as policemen. In turn, the proficiency of the IP has made al-Mansour area an example for all of Iraq.

Some say recent urban transformation is due to the influx of 'hipsters' with a real passion for food and an eye for design -- urban cheesemongers and mustachioed greengrocers, with their organic fruit and vegetable smoothies.

Given the right context, the simplest urban intervention enlivens public space, reaps enormous value and fosters fundamental, human expression and curiosity. The public piano trend is among the latest of the many pop-up catalysts now popular in small city spaces.

Our future city relies on dreamers who find inspiration in the possibility of really being able to affect peoples' lives. Our community's anchor organizations need to cultivate these folks. We need leaders of all cultures and across generations to unify.
The larger story, which can really only be told through numbers, is about how "China's urban population has increased from 180 million people in 1978 to 690 [million] now" and since rural birth rates consistently outpace urban ones, it is specifically a tale of rural to urban migration.
Considering that Beijing's plans for addressing the record levels of air pollution, 45 times the recommended safety levels, were greeted with little enthusiasm, this blogger would like to offer another one: time to abandon Beijing.
I don't necessarily expect that future historians will find purposeful reasons for the emptying out of our great cities. More likely, they will seek to identify social, economic or demographic reasons that resulted in the urban crisis.
If places are not implemented with care, and if they leave a sense of the overly artificial and concocted, we may collectively and forever chase The Great Gatsby's symbolic green light at the end of Daisy's pier.

If the arts in San Francisco go under, there is far less incentive for startups and tech companies to relocate here. Let's not make the assumption that the success of the tech industry is unique and separate from the rest of the city.

One thing that is undeniable about American cities, private residential property and the curbside next door -- for the moment, the eclectic reigns.

Winter Wrap Up Twilight by WhiteDove-CreationsWatch

It has been awhile since I made a Winter Twi. Her boots, scarf and saddle are removeable. She is 15 inches all and made of minky
Awww, I love her Winter Wrap Up accessories!!
Just watched a youtube video and the guy had this plush and I got all excited, "That's Whitedoves Creation!" lol

Honestly looking at your plushies makes me feel happy. They are so cute and well crafted, all the little details and care that go in them. Even though Twilight is not my fave, I think this one is your best, it's just so cute and well done. I have been a my little pony fan since I was 3 or 4 (I'm 33 now). They were my favorite toys growing up, this kinda of thing makes my inner child so very happy.

My fiance and I stayed here in summer 2012 during our trip of California.
We chose the place for hiking Sequoia and Kings Canyon.
We had the most wonderful stay here. The Bellevue Guest House is located in the hills of Three Rivers, a few hundred meters from the main street and thus a quiet, secluded place that you have all to yourself. If you stay there you will be the only ones staying there at that time since there are only two rooms available. The are both located in the upper part of the house so that you can be alnoe if you want to. Close to the rooms there is a large bath room and you have places to sit, relax and read a book.
If you go downstairs you have the main living room with a large kitchen and a wonderful patio with the most beatiful view you can imagine of Sequoia National Park and the mountains surrounding Three Rivers. That's also the place whereyou will usually have your breakfast, see the pictures attached to this review. Breakfast is really great, very light and tasty. If you have any wishes the owners, Eva and Ozzy, will try their best to fulfill them, We strongly recommend having the cup cakes / muffins. They are AWESOME!
This is not just a B&B but a truely private, serene place to stay. If you like large, anonymous hotels don't go here. But if you like places that are special and can tell a story Bellevue Guesthouse is for you. The whole house is filled with items Ozzy and Eva have collected over the years and all of them tell a story that the owners will be happy to share. You can also just sit outside, enjoy the view and watch the humming birds which frequently visit the house.
The rooms and beds are really nice. We are light sleepers and had no problems falling asleep quickly - however, be aware that almost everywhere in Three Rivers you will hear the river. We went hiking every day and got all the information we needed. When we visited therewas road work on the way to Sequoia and Eva told us exactly when to drive there to avoid long waiting times, We got all the infromation we needed, including hiking maps and guide books.
The two days we stayed at Bellevue Guesthouse were truely wonderful and we will surely return next time. Thank you, Eva and Ozzy, for a wonderful stay.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Secluded and romantic mountain property on 5 wooded acres, at the end of a private road, about 2.5 miles from southern entrance of Sequoia National Park. Featuring: Total of 2 bedrooms and one studio with a futon for max. 6 persons. One full bath with comb. tub/shower. The guest rooms are located in the upper level of the house. To keep the place quiet and private for our guests, we do host only one party at the same time - no sharing bathroom with others. Available also a large wooden deck with breathtaking mountain and river views and several outdoor seating areas.An outdoor Jacuzzi and an outdoor Sauna are also available for guests, at an additional fee.Limited free wireless internet is available at request.Children older than 10 years of age are welcome. ... more less

Nightmare Moon Minifigure in Ebony by xofoxWatch
©2012-2016 xofox
Or even, minifigurine I suppose. Egads, but she is small. Since they come in all different poses and whatnot, the easiest way to measure my ponies is by head diameter. And my normal ponies have a head diameter of about 2.5-3.25 centimeters. Nightmare Moon here, on the other hand has a head diameter of just under .8 centimeters. Minus the hair, she fits inside of a small matchbox.
I had such fun making Luna with shaped hair, that I wanted to try again, with another Halloweeny pony, but ebony is criminally expensive these days, so I decided, as long as I was making a minifigure, to make a miniminifigure so that I could use my scrap ebony from previous ponies. On the whole I think she came out all right. Very angular cuts, a misshapen face, and not quite as much detail as I wanted, but on the other hand I was pushing myself to get as much detail as I did. Perhaps I'd improve if I did miniatures like this regularly. Certainly getting mm wide details in was crazy fun, and the feathering on the wings was fun to work out as well.
Want to see more of this pony? Check out the work in progress gallery to watch her come together, or see more of the finished product in her expanded gallery.
Nightmare Moon and My Little Pony belong to Hasbro.
AWESOME and AMAZING!

I'm really astounded with this piece. Gorgeous and flowing. You achieved such a wondrous amount of detail to boot. I think you really got something going here with this idea of a minifigure.

Hey xofox, sorry for being unactive recently, I'm very sick and I barely open deviantart to check out on the new things.
Just wanted to tell you how amazing this Nightmare Moon is, I also liked all your other recent work, the wand, the Luna in ebony and Dream Cloud, keep up the amazing work man

Free Subscription & E-newsletter
The American Nurses Association has released a new second edition of the specialty standards for public health nurses.
This concise guide to contemporary public health nursing (PHN) practice contains up-to-date information for RNs practicing in public health and defines the level of nursing practice and professional performance for public health nurses at all practice levels and in all settings.
The convergence of multiple economic, political, and social factors including Healthy People 2020, the Obama Administration's National Prevention Strategy, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) provide a "road map" for improving the health of the public through prevention. And public health nurses should be in the forefront of healthcare to lead change in all sectors from public to private and local to global, ANA officials say..
"This is an opportune time for public health nurses to become active, visible partners in healthcare reform. Every community across the nation deserves a public health nurse to lead in developing policies and programs that will improve health conditions for all and to advocate for poor and vulnerable populations," says co-chair Pamela A. Kulbok, DNSc, RN, PHCNS-BC, FAAN of the Theresa A. Thomas Professor of Primary Care Nursing and Chair of the Department of Family, Community, and Mental Health Systems at the University of Virginia.
She adds, "This revised edition looks to the future of public health nursing and provides essential guidance in the form of standards and competencies for generalist and the advanced public health nurse."
According to ANA, this is a must-have title for public health nursing practitioners, educators, students, researchers and others directly involved in public health. Employers, insurers, lawyers, regulators, policy makers and stakeholders will find value in referencing this publication.
Since the late 1990s, ANA has partnered with other nursing organizations to establish a formal process for recognition of specialty areas of nursing practice. This includes the criteria for approving the specialty itself and the scope statement and an acknowledgment by ANA of the standards of practice for that specialty.
Because of the significant changes in the evolving nursing and healthcare environments, ANA's approval of specialty nursing scope statements and its acknowledgment of specialty standards of practice remain valid for five years, starting from the publication date of the documents. Learn more at www.nursingworld.org.

KOST/103.5 FM may have wanted to play Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" when it got the surprise news last week that midday personality Karen Carson was, indeed, gone.
Carson resigned from Clear Channel's WLTW in New York on Feb. 2 to join the rival station, CBS Radio's adult contemporary station "Fresh" WWFS/102.7 FM. Carson had been working weekends and fill-ins on WLTW – and voice-tracking the midday shift on KOST-FM from New York.
"We're not sure what we are going to do yet. This was a surprise to all of us. But I'm very excited for Karen Carson," said KOST Program Director Stella Prado. Temporarily, part-timers Ted Ziegenbusch and Christine Martindale are filling in, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. weekdays.

Excellent deal, puts the old metal cans out of the water!

- Great Ammo Boxes at a Fantastic Price Review by Steve
Price Value Quality
I have used these for ammo storage for quite a while. While not the most heavy duty storage boxes out there, they work pretty well. They stack on each other so you can pile them up and they're not unstable. I've seen reviews about the handles breaking out, but I've had no trouble with that. I have picked them up full of .223 or 7.62x54 ammo without the handles breaking out. The lid will flex enough to break the seal with that much weight in it. However, I just through a desiccant pack in and stack them up for strange. The capacity is a little small so you can't put more than a few hundred rifle rounds in each one. For the price, though, I don't see how you can beat them.

- Perfect for storage and range use Review by UXGuy
Price Value Quality
I bought 3 of these because my large container was getting to heavy to carry. I was able to fit 7 individual 50 round boxes of .380 in one, same number of 9mm in another and 6 boxes of .45 in the last one. I may buy a few more for all my .223. The smaller boxes are much easier to manage. They also stack together nicely.

- Great value for the price Review by SCGA
Price Value Quality
Some of the seals are twisted possibly compromising the waterproof aspect. The only other thing is the walls are a bit more flexible than I would like to see. Otherwise an excellent replacement for the traditional ammo can.

- Great Product - Made in USA!!! Review by SecureGuns
Price Value Quality
Picked up a couple from our new Rural King store to take home and check out. Nice quality, folding handle gets out of the way to allow really nice and neat stacking. Not flimsy overseas crap you would expect for the price. Made in USA - the first thing I look for nowadays. Going back for more, they had pallets full of them.

I love these boxes! I ordered 20 and instantly sold off half of them to my co-workers when the shipment arrived. Well made, small enough to not be extremely heavy when loaded up with ammo or whatever. Very fast shipping and great price from Rural King too. I will not hesitate to do business with them again.
