Car accidents are the most common type of traffic accident. However, getting injured in a car accident can be extremely disruptive, and even life-changing. Understanding your options following a car accident is the best way to make sure you are not taken advantage of by an insurance company, and prepare yourself to make strong decisions to ensure the best outcome for your case. Our car accident lawyers at FVF Law has helped over a thousand people understand their options, and determine whether hiring a personal injury lawyer is the best choice for them.
While some car accidents are little more than “fender benders,” and thus cause little bodily injury, others are catastrophic, causing potentially irreparable physical harm. Relatively mild injuries such as muscular soreness typically pass after only a few days, while more serious damage such as broken limbs, bruises, and sprains require professional medical attention and treatment. In severe cases, car accident victims may suffer internal bleeding, spinal injury, and/or so-called traumatic brain injuries, which may have a life-long impact on their lives. Even when a trauma is relatively moderate, including for example a slight concussion or neck pain, it is imperative that victims seek medical assistance and care and speak to a auto accident lawyer.
Many car accident victims suffer various symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the crash. PTSD is “a psychiatric disorder characterized by a persistent maladaptive reaction that results from exposure to one or more traumatic events.” 1 In the event of a serious car crash, survivors sometimes experience heightened anxiety and fear, hypervigilance, disrupted sleep and nightmares, irritability, memory loss, numbness, and other types of cognitive impairment and emotional disorders. Researchers estimate that “between 15 and 45% of MVA [motor vehicle accident] survivors develop PTSD within the first year of the accident. Further, approximately 40% of those with PTSD following an MVA also suffer from major depression.” 2 Some scientific studies find that car crash survivors who perceive themselves as responsible or even culpable for the accident are less likely to experience PTSD symptoms. 3 One study found that the severity of an injury sustained during a car accident corresponds to a higher likelihood of experiencing PTSD. 4 In some cases, PTSD following a motor vehicle accident may be physically detectable in a structural alteration of the brain. Some magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have found abnormalities specifically in the orbitofrontal cortex in patients with PTSD. Simply put, the traumatic experience of surviving a car accident may indeed affect a victim’s brain tissue in debilitating ways.
Car accident victims who suspect that the difficulties they are experiencing may be attributed to PTSD or other psycho-emotional conditions are often reluctant to contact a personal injury attorney. They may be avoidant regarding the impact that the accident is having on their lives. They may not want to admit to themselves or their family that coping with the devastating experience is difficult, and taking longer than anticipated. Anxiety and fear may be associated with shame, particularly for victims who prior to the crash thought of themselves as invulnerable. In these circumstances, a conversation with a car accident injury lawyer can be both instructive and encouraging. A car accident lawyer has the experience and expertise to move an injury victim past the helpless stage of fear and anxiety and into a plan for physical and financial recovery.
Car accidents are nerve-wracking, particularly when there is a physical injury as well as property damage. When an accident occurs, injured and distraught victims may have a difficult time discerning what concrete action to take at the scene. Nevertheless, it is in the victim’s best interest to take certain measures in the immediate aftermath of a crash.
Despite common sense and decency, people do not always do the right thing after causing an accident. You should begin protecting yourself immediately after a crash to make sure you are treated fairly by the insurance companies involved. The police may have video and audio recordings (from the police car, body cameras, and body microphones) containing valuable evidence that might be needed later in the claim or lawsuit.
Under certain circumstances, police are required by law to complete a so-called a CR-3 report. This investigative report contains highly valuable information, such as identification of all the parties involved, insurance information, and an authoritative opinion of how the crash occurred. You might later need to rely on some of this information to help your case. Depending on the severity of the car crash, the police might complete a full accident investigation, including with photographs and measurements, which may later serve as valuable evidence if a lawsuit is necessary.
Finally, the police often interview witnesses to learn about the specific causes and circumstances of a crash. Through this process (and the investigative process in general) documents are created that can later be obtained through an Open Records Request, and which contain information that might be useful in the event of a dispute about liability. A auto accident lawyer knows how to write and file an Open Records Request on a client’s behalf.
2. Collect the other driver’s contact, insurance, and driver’s license information.
Make sure that you include the driver’s name, address, phone number, vehicle information, and car insurance information.
3. Take pictures of the damage done to your car and the other car.
Have clear evidence of the damage by taking photos of your car, the other cars involved, and the surrounding scene and road conditions that precipitated the accident. Photographs of a car accident scene can, in some circumstances, help demonstrate the severity of the crash and how the car crash occurred. The more evidence you are able to preserve, the stronger your claim is likely to be.
4. Collect the contact information of any witnesses to the accident.
Write down the names, phone numbers, and other contact information of any eye witnesses at the scene. Car accident injury victims sometimes rely too heavily on the police to record and preserve witness information. It is very common for a car accident injury lawyer to have no other recourse than to try to identify witnesses by making an Open Records Request, and then extracting witness information from public records or 911 call recordings. If you have taken down witness information (name, phone number, and address), a car accident lawyer can attempt to talk to witnesses soon after the crash while their memory is still fresh. This can make a significant difference in the outcome of auto accident case. Witness testimonials are essential to helping attorneys and insurance companies determine liability in an accident.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), some of the most prevalent causes of car crashes are distracted driving, speeding, and alcohol- or drug-impaired driving.
According to the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), which provides the only nationwide probability-based observed data on driver electronic device use in the United States, there are three types of driver electronic device use: “holding phones to their ears,” “speaking with visible headsets on,” and “visibly manipulating handheld devices.” 11 Each one presents a significant risk to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. And so-called handsfree technology assistants do not significantly reduce the risk of an accident.
Drivers who violate legal speed limits are endangering others with their aggressive behavior and poor judgment. Car accident victims who have been injured as a result of an aggressive driver’s conduct are entitled to compensation for losses and damages, and should contact a personal injury attorney.
In the United States, more than 10,000 people are killed in drunk-driving crashes every year, or approximately 29 people per day, or 1 every 50 minutes. 16 One third of all traffic accident fatalities involves an intoxicated driver. The reason why alcohol is such a threat to driver safety is that the substance impairs a driver’s central nervous system, brain function, reasoning, and muscle coordination. All of these capacities are essential to safe driving. The problem is tragic and tremendously costly, billing at over 40 billion dollars per year.
The level of alcohol that a driver has in his/her system is measured by a breathalyzer instrument, which registers Blood Alcohol Concentration, or BAC. At a BAC of 0.02 grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood (g/dL), a driver experiences loosened inhibitions, loss of judgment, decline in visual function, and decline in the capacity to perform multiple tasks at once. At a BAC of 0.05g/dL, a driver exhibits exaggerated behaviors, reduced coordination, loss of small-muscle control (including eye muscles) and lowered alertness. At a BAC of 0.10g/dL or higher, there is a clear deterioration of reaction time, slurred speech, slowed thinking, loss of balance, and reduced ability to maintain lane position. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “even a small amount of alcohol can affect driving ability. In 2016, there were 2,017 people killed in alcohol-related crashes where drivers had lower alcohol levels (BACs of .01 to .07 g/dL).” 17 At any level, alcohol-impaired driving is dangerous and unlawful.
Drug-impaired driving is a public safety hazard that is rapidly growing in scope nationwide. Drivers who are impaired by drugs are just as dangerous as drivers who are impaired by alcohol. The Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality reports that driver safety may be impaired by various illicit drugs, include marijuana (and hashish), cocaine (and “crack”), heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants, as well as the nonmedical use of prescription pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. 18Approximately 4,000 people are killed annually in catastrophic accidents involving a driver who tested positive for drugs, and health experts believe that this figure is radically understated.
Anyone who has been hurt in a motor vehicle incident involving alcohol, drugs, or illicit substances should seek legal counsel. The process of gathering evidence and presenting an argument for the recovery of losses and personal injury is complicated, and requires extensive experience with medical experts, law enforcement procedures, and compelling documentation.
The car accident attorneys at FVF encourage all victims of car accidents to seek medical care as soon as possible, even for injuries that seem minor. Some injuries may not appear until hours, days or even weeks after the accident. Brain injuries, for example, can be hard to diagnose because the symptoms are usually subtle and not visibly apparent. It is always a good idea to have a doctor monitor an injured person’s symptoms regularly to make sure that injuries do not develop into serious conditions.
First, the law allows you to seek compensation for your losses associated with bodily injuries. This includes your losses leading up to a settlement or trial, as well as any losses you can prove you will likely have in the future. To fully understand and prove what those losses are, you must understand the extent of your injury. To fully understand the extent of your injury, you must be proactive with your medical care and work with someone qualified to diagnose your bodily injury. Since many permanent injuries do not seem that bad in the beginning, it is important to explore all injuries, even those that might seem like they will resolve on their own.
Finally, and most importantly, FVF wants you to get better and to gain full use and function of your body. The best way for you to get better is to put your medical care in the hands of a medical professional who can help guide your recovery.
There are a variety of options for car accident victims to offset the cost of the medical care that they need, whether or not they themselves are covered by a medical insurance policy.
Individuals with health insurance who would be financially burdened by their co-pays or deductibles, or those who do not have health insurance, can often work with medical providers who will agree to accept payment for their services once a patient has settled or otherwise resolved a personal injury case. Also, many people have a type of insurance coverage called “Personal Injury Protection” (PIP) or “Medical Payments Coverage” (MedPay). In some instances, PIP or MedPay can be useful tools to help you pay for your medical treatment after an injury.
The various kinds of bodily injury insurance policies involved in a car accident case are exceedingly complex, and require patient and knowledgeable navigation. The purpose of obtaining representation from a personal injury attorney is that he/she is able to advise a client through potentially expensive and overwhelming documents and procedures.
A careless driver’s insurance company is responsible for paying for any bodily injury caused to a car crash victim because of the crash. Texas drivers are required to carry a minimum of $30,000 worth of insurance to pay for injuries caused to any single car crash injury victim, and $60,000 worth of insurance to pay for all the injuries caused to all victims of the crash. In other words, if there are two or more victims in one car crash (not counting the careless driver), each car crash injury victim has at least a $30,000 pool of money from which to seek compensation. However, there might only be $60,000 available to pay for all the bodily injury done to all the car crash injury victims. Of course, it is common for a careless driver to maintain bodily injury liability coverage that exceeds Texas’s $30k/$60k minimum coverage requirements. The categories of damages a careless driver’s insurance company might be required to pay to compensate a car crash injury victim for their bodily injuries include: 1) compensatory damages; and 2) punitive damages.
Compensatory damages are typically composed of two sub-categories: 1) economic damages; and 2) non-economic damages. Compensatory damages include compensation for losses the car crash injury victim has sustained up to the point of settlement or trial, as well as any losses the victim will likely sustain in the future. Punitive damages, on the other hand, are a monetary civil penalty designed to punish a reckless driver for their egregious conduct. While compensatory damages are generally not capped in Texas, punitive damages are.
In Texas, hospitals have the legal right to file a lien in the county where they provided emergency medical services to a personal injury victim. The purpose of the lien is to protect their bill for services provided in connection with the injury. In the event the personal injury victim is able to reach a settlement or otherwise recover money from the careless person’s insurance, the insurance will not pay the personal injury victim until they know the hospital’s bill has been paid. This lien is very similar to a lien a bank would have if they loaned money to someone to buy a home or a car. The person could not sell the home or the car without paying the bank back. Similarly, the personal injury victim cannot settle their case with a liability insurance company without paying the hospital back.
Unfortunately, it is common for hospitals to abuse the hospital lien. When a hospital knows a personal injury victim has been injured in a car crash, the hospital sees an opportunity to get paid more for their services by asserting a lien against the victim’s settlement. This is particularly true when the personal injury victim has health insurance. Rather than submit the injury victim’s bill to health insurance, where the hospital will likely be required to substantially reduce their bill, the hospital will simply file a lien, notify the liability car insurance company, and hold a settlement hostage until the lien has been resolved. By doing this, the hospital argues that they are owed the full billed amount, rather than the reduced amount they would have received if the bill had been submitted to health insurance. With proper guidance, however, this scheme can be successfully overcome.
By speaking to a personal injury lawyer, a crash victim can learn what his/her options are for handling a hospital bill and dealing with a hospital lien. If the personal injury victim waits too long to take action against the hospital lien, the victim might lose very important options, including the ability to force the hospital to submit the bill to the victim’s health insurance. A mistake like this can cost thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars.
Even if a car crash is caused by the carelessness of another driver, an injured victim’s own auto insurance might play a very important role in the victim’s case. When car crash injury victim files a claim on his/her own insurance, this is called a “first-party” claim. There are four common types of first-party insurance coverages a car crash injury victim might utilize through their own auto insurance: 1) Collision coverage; 2) Un-insured or Underinsured Motorist coverage; 3) Personal Injury Protection coverage; and 4) Medical Payments coverage.
When a car crash injury victim’s vehicle is damaged by a careless driver, the victim can also seek to have their vehicle repaired or replaced by their own auto insurance carrier. Collision coverage functions very similarly to the careless driver’s Property Damage Liability coverage, since the car crash injury victim’s own auto insurance company is required to pay to either repair or replace the vehicle depending on whether the vehicle is a total loss. Similarly, if the car crash injury victim maintains additional Rental Car Reimbursement coverage, their own auto insurance company will be required to place the victim in a rental car for some period of time that is defined by the insurance policy. The car crash injury victim can also seek payment of the diminished value of their vehicle from their own auto insurance carrier. Whether a car crash injury victim should use their own auto insurance policy or rely on the careless driver’s auto insurance policy really depends on the circumstances of each case, as there are pros and cons with each. For example, the careless driver’s insurance company will not automatically accept responsibility for the reckless conduct of one of its customers, and will often investigate the facts of the case before offering to pay any damages to the car crash injury victim. This can cause significant delays in getting the vehicle repaired or replaced, as well as delays in placing the car crash injury victim into a rental car. Additionally, the careless driver’s insurance company will often request the car crash injury victim provide a recorded statement of how the crash happened. This is generally ill-advised, as the statement can later be used by the insurance company against the car crash injury victim.
On the other hand, some car crash injury victims do not carry collision coverage or rental reimbursement coverage. In these circumstances, the injury victim has no choice but to rely on the careless driver’s insurance company to handle the property damage claim.
Additionally, even if the car crash injury victim has collision coverage, the victim will often have to pay a deductible to get the claim processed (though this is often reimbursed later), and can, in some cases, see an increase in their premiums after filing a claim.
Uninsured Motorist and Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UIM) is a first-party coverage designed to protect a car crash injury victim in the event they are injured by a careless driver who does not have enough liability insurance coverage to pay for all the damage caused. Essentially, if a car crash injury victim has purchased UIM coverage, they have purchased some amount of coverage that stacks on top of whatever liability coverage the careless driver has purchased. Since Texas only requires drivers to maintain $25,000 in property damage liability coverage and $30,000/$60,000 in bodily injury liability coverage, buying UIM coverage (as much as one can afford) is a very good idea.
Like the careless driver’s bodily injury liability coverage, the car crash injury victim’s UIM coverage will pay for the victim’s compensatory damages that exceed the careless driver’s liability coverage. In other words, if a car crash injury victim sustains $50,000 worth of compensatory damages in a car crash, and the careless driver only maintained a $30,000 bodily injury liability policy, the victim’s UIM insurance typically pays the $20,000 difference. Similarly, if the car crash victim sustains $50,000 worth of property damage, and the careless driver only maintained a $25,000 property damage liability policy, the victim’s UIM insurance should pay the $25,000 difference.
UIM insurance is most often used in cases where the car crash injury victim has sustained a severe or permanent injury, and the careless driver does not have sufficient insurance coverage to pay for the damage. Additionally, UIM insurance can be important in car crashes involving multiple victims, where the careless driver does not have enough insurance to go around. Finally, UIM insurance can be very important when the car crash injury victim is hurt by a careless driver who does not have insurance, or flees the scene and cannot be identified.
Personal Injury Protection Coverage (PIP) and Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay) are types of “no-fault” insurance. This means the car crash injury victim’s auto insurance is required to pay PIP or MedPay benefits even if the victim caused the crash. It is best to think of PIP and MedPay insurance as a trust fund that the car crash injury victim can utilize to pay their medical bills and offset their lost earnings after a car crash. Still, a car crash injury victim who has MedPay, rather than PIP, can only seek payment of medical bills. Access to PIP and MedPay funds is intended to be quick and stress-free, though this is often not the case. PIP and MedPay insurance are generally sold as $2,500, $5,000, or $10,000 policies, though sometimes higher. A car crash injury victim who has PIP or MedPay insurance can file a claim for payment of funds even when they are a passenger in another vehicle. Also, all passengers in a car crash injury victim’s car can seek payment under the victim’s PIP or MedPay policy.
The significant differences between PIP and MedPay are important to understand. First, as previously noted, MedPay does not help a car crash injury victim with lost earnings after a crash, while PIP does provide this service. Second, the car crash injury victim’s insurance has “subrogation rights,” or the right to be paid back with MedPay coverage, but not with PIP. This is important when the car crash injury victim was injured by the careless of another, and the victim is able to obtain compensation from the careless driver’s insurance. In that case, if the car crash injury victim has received MedPay payments for medical bills, the victim might have to reimburse their auto insurance carrier for those payments that have been received.
Whether the careless driver’s insurance will pay to repair or replace a car crash injury victim’s vehicle depends on whether the vehicle is a total loss. Under Texas Law, a vehicle is required to be deemed a total loss when the cost of repairing the damage exceeds the value of the vehicle immediately before the damage. However, some insurance companies deem a vehicle to be “totaled,” even when the repairs would cost less than the value of the vehicle under other circumstances, such as if the vehicle could not be repaired safely.
If the car crash injury victim’s vehicle is a total loss, the insurance company is required to pay the victim the cash value of the vehicle as it existed immediately prior to the damaging incident. The actual cash value will be based in part on factors such as the vehicle’s age, condition, mileage, and upgrades. In addition, the careless driver’s insurance company will pay for additional tax, title and registration costs that the car crash injury victim will incur when he/she eventually purchases a new vehicle.
Whether the injured victim’s motor vehicle was a total loss or can be repaired, the careless driver’s insurance company is required to pay the victim for the value of the victim’s inability to use their motor vehicle. The law in Texas is murky on what exactly this means for traffic accident victims, but this typically requires a careless driver’s insurance company to pay for a rental car.
Unfortunately for car crash victims, many insurance adjusters still believe that “loss of use” (i.e., the rental-car claim) is not owed under Texas law in the event of a total loss. And while this was a tenable assumption in the past, the Texas Supreme Court decided in 2015 (J&D Towing, LLC vs. American Alternative Insurance Corp) that the standard is “reasonableness.” The insurance company must allow a reasonable amount of time to arrange the purchase of a new vehicle. Adjusters who claim not to owe insured parties for “loss of use” ought to refer to the “J&D Towing” case, in which it was concluded that “reasonable” is in the eye of the beholder.
In the event the an injured party’s vehicle can be repaired, the vehicle is often worth less money on the fair market after a car crash than it was prior to the incident. This is because of reporting services such as CarFax, where prospective buyers and auto dealers learn about past damage to a vehicle; for dealers and buyers, a stigma is attached to the value of vehicles that have been repaired after a traffic accident. “Diminished value” means the difference in the fair market value between the vehicle as it was immediately prior to the crash, and the fair market value of the vehicle after it has been repaired. Proving diminished value can be difficult, and often requires the car crash victim to employ a third-party adjuster to provide an opinion on the change in the vehicle’s value.
This is a difficult position to be in, and a sound reason to obtain legal representation. Because insurance companies are only required to pay the replacement value (i.e., what the car crash victim’s totaled car was worth immediately before the crash), insurance companies are generally not responsible to pay off the car crash victim’s full car loan when the balance is higher than the replacement value. However, some car crash victims maintain GAP coverage through their bank, which covers the difference in the event the victim is “under water” on their loan. Additionally, the accident victim can in some circumstances work with their bank to roll the remaining principal balance into a new loan when the victim purchases a new vehicle.
Car accidents that are severe enough to inflict physical injury almost always involve extensive damage to vehicles and other property.
When a driver carelessly crashes into someone, his/her insurance coverage will pay for any damage done to the crash victim’s personal property. In Texas, drivers are required to carry at least $25,000 in coverage to pay for property that they destroy. A car accident victim can usually recover money for up to four types of property damage: 1) repair or replacement of the damaged vehicle; 2) repair or replacement of any other property that was damaged in the car crash; 3) loss of use of the vehicle; and 4) diminished value of the vehicle.
Car crash victims are sometimes faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to file a claim on their own full-coverage auto-insurance. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, victims who have full coverage on their damaged or totaled vehicle have more options than victims who have no insurance or liability insurance only.
Those with full coverage on their vehicle have are two options. They can either rely on the careless driver’s insurance company to handle the property damage and rental car via a liability policy; or they can rely on their own insurance company to handle the property damage. Those whose policy does not include rental coverage will have to either rely on the at-fault driver’s insurance to provide a rental car, or pay for a rental car out of pocket and later seek reimbursement.
If a car crash victim uses his/her own insurance, it is less likely that there will be delays in processing the property damage claim and placing the victimized person or family into a rental car (assuming that the policy includes rental car coverage). However, the crash victim will likely pay a deductible, and face the possibility of an increase in insurance premiums. If the victim relies on the careless driver’s liability insurance, they are to some extent at the mercy of that insurance company. Because the careless driver’s insurance company is allowed to investigate the circumstances of any car crash, and the careless driver might not always be honest about what happened, the car crash victim will frequently be required to wait until a police report has been completed and filed before the careless driver’s insurance company will take responsibility for the crash. This can cause significant delays in the victim’s ability to get a vehicle repaired or replaced, and the victim’s ability to get a rental car.
Insurance contracts require those who have been involved in a collision to notify their insurance provider. Failure to do so may in limited circumstances result in refused coverage for an incident-related claim.
In Texas, the at-fault driver’s insurance company is saddled with rights and responsibilities when their insured has injured somebody in a car crash.
When an insurance claim is filed, the negligent driver’s insurance company investigates how the crash happened and what, if any, injuries were sustained by any of the car crash victims. During this investigation, the insurance company typically contacts injured parties to a recorded statement. If you provide a recorded statement, you could unknowingly say something on record that can later be used against you. This could include statements relating to vehicle speeds, amounts of time that passed between events, and distances between objects. You could in good faith be trying to give an honest answer and might under-estimate or over-estimate the information in a way that could make you appear to have some causal responsibility for the crash. Or, you might make statements that minimize the extent of your bodily injury before there has been an opportunity for you to have your bodily injuries properly evaluated.
In the event damage was caused to the car crash victim’s personal property other than the vehicle itself, the careless driver’s insurance company is also obligated to repair or replace that property. Common examples of damaged property include child seats (which must be replaced in the event of a car crash), eyeglasses, cell phones and tablets, and portable computers. To get reimbursed for damage to the car crash victim’s personal property, the victim must present evidence of the cost of repair or replacement of the property. This is typically done by taking the personal property to a retailer or repair shop and obtaining a repair or replacement estimate.
Injured crash victims often believe that it would be easy and expedient to handle a car accident case on their own. Based on good faith, they believe the insurance companies will treat them fairly, and adequately compensate them for their losses. And yet, especially for crash victims who have sustained a permanent injury (whether they know it or not), obtaining full compensation can be difficult, time- consuming, and costly. Simply submitting medical bills for reimbursement often does not ensure that car crash victims receive the compensation to which they are legally entitled. It is often imprudent for a crash victim to allow an insurance provider to convince him/her to settle the case prematurely. It is imperative that victims understand the scope and impact of their case. The purpose of this page is to provide car crash injury victims basic guidance in order to help determine whether they should contact a car accident injury attorney to discuss viable options.
If you have been involved in an accident with no physical injury involved, but nevertheless intend to hire a personal injury lawyer, you will either have to pay the attorney hourly, or pay him/her a percentage of the damaged vehicle’s value. Since Texas does not allow a successful car crash claimant to recover their attorneys’ fees, hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent them for a claim involving only property damage will usually be a losing proposition.

The term ‘bushcraft’ isn’t it seems, a term used in many other countries. We’ve found a lot of people who enquire about our residential Ultimate Survival Programme haven’t come across the term or aren’t particularly sure what it is or what it means. I think everyone understands what survival means however if you don’t have the full context of the programme then you might have visions of children being dropped off in the middle of know where with the task to survive!
Bushcraft or Survival programmes are very popular in the UK with children and adults alike. Children especially relish the opportunity to get into the woods and try things that they don’t get to experience in everyday life. As well as having lots of adventurous fun, programmes of this type offer children the opportunity to develop a variety of skills and try new outdoor activities.
Our programme is run by our sister company Ultimate Survival and is a brilliant opportunity for international children to learn practical bushcraft skills alongside local British children. The programmes help to build children’s self-confidence, improve their problem-solving, give them an appreciation of the natural environment and gets them working in teams with British children which helps to improve their English language communication skills.
Children stay each evening at our residential venue, Cothill House School and attend Ultimate Survival for full days from Monday to Thursday. They can, if they want, camp out at Ultimate Survival on the Thursday evening, staying in in a tent and experiencing a night under starlit skies with evening activities and fireside stories!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are spent with the other children on our residential programmes, going on excursions and taking part in activities.
What activities will children take part in and what bushcraft skills will they learn?
Children will do one of three Ultimate Survival themes depending on which week they attend and the bushcraft activities and skills they learn differ from one theme to another.
Young adventurers will pit themselves against the elements to go through a series of fun survival scenarios teaching them how to overcome extreme weather conditions whilst learning about the environment around them. Challenges throughout the week include forest fire and flood survival, protective shelter building, bridge construction and raft building!
Children will experience a variety of ‘desert island’ scenarios learning how to use their surroundings as resources for survival and to help them escape whilst putting their teamwork skills to the ultimate test. This programme teaches children life-long individual survival techniques such as hunting, trapping & skinning, wood whittling, fire cooking and jungle first aid whilst also working together to complete daily escape challenges.
Young survivors are grouped into tribes to take part in team-based survival challenges with each day ending in a giant Arena Challenge. Children will take part in team activities ranging from tribal base construction and assault courses to scavenger hunts and wilderness cookery! This programme will put the children’s team work skills to the test and challenge them problem solve and work together.
For international children looking to come to the UK this summer and improve their English skills, this is a unique programme that gives them a high level of integration with local British children. 85% of the children on the programme will be native speakers and all attend as individuals so everyone is keen to get to know each other regardless of where they are from.

Glaciers are highly sensitive indicators of past and present climate change. Their current area and volume are a response to both near-term and long-term changes in both temperature and precipitation. In recent decades most glaciers have been steadily shrinking. Because glaciers are important indicators of past and future climatic changes, it is important that a globally complete glacier inventory be maintained that contains the current extent as well as the rates of change of the world's glaciers. The GLIMS project (Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) is currently creating a unique glacier inventory storing critical information about the extent and rates of change of the world's estimated 160,000 glaciers.
GLIMS is an international collaborative project that includes more than sixty institutions world-wide: its goal is to create this globally comprehensive inventory of land ice including measurements of glacier area, geometry, surface velocity, and snow line elevation. To perform these analyses, the GLIMS project uses satellite data, primarily from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and the Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) as well as historical information derived from maps and aerial photographs.
The analysis results are submitted to the GLIMS database at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. The GLIMS database is funded through research grants from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The GLIMS database is designed to be a logical extension of the World Glacier Inventory (WGI) of the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and stores the full complement of the WGMS-defined glacier characteristics. Each analysis received by the GLIMS team at NSIDC is ingested into the GLIMS Glacier Database and made available to the public via the World Wide Web using an interactive mapping web site based on the open source package MapServer. The web interface thus acts as a visual front-end providing easy access to the GLIMS Glacier Database. New glacier data are continually being added to the database.
The GLIMS MapServer web site allows users to view and query several thematic layers, including glacier outlines, ASTER footprints, GLIMS Regional Center locations, and the World Glacier Inventory. Query results can be downloaded into a number of GIS-compatible formats, including ESRI Shapefiles, MapInfo tables, and Geographic Mark-up Language (GML). The web site allows users to perform a variety functions on the data including attribute querying, selecting, and exporting the glacial data through the use of a visual selection map and/or a form-based selection process. The data are stored in a spatially enabled database (PostGIS), which has sophisticated functions for spatial data analysis and query. The GLIMS Glacier Database also allows the user to view reduced-resolution ASTER browse images and to query the ASTER image metadata. The MapServer application can serve data from the GLIMS Glacier Database to other OGC-compliant services via OGC-standard protocols, thereby increasing the utility of this glacier data set.

Our eye doctors have extensive experience in the pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care of LASIK and other vision correction procedures. By far, LASIK is currently the most popular vision-correcting or “refractive” surgery available. But there are other options as well. We will help you find the ideal solution for your problem and partner with the best surgeon to perform your procedure.
Lasik can treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. With nearsighted people, the goal is to flatten the too-steep cornea; with farsighted people, a steeper cornea is desired. Excimer lasers also can correct astigmatism by smoothing an irregular cornea into a more normal shape.
We provide the pre-op exam and measurements and the post-op care and treatment.
We are a proud partner of TLC Laser Eye Center. For more information, visit www.tlcvision.com.

Research in the Howeth Lab integrates population, community, and ecosystem-level processes across multiple scales to better understand determinants of species diversity and ecosystem properties. Recently, the importance of space in mediating population connectivity and local species interactions has become increasingly recognized by ecologists and evolutionary biologists. This interest in spatial ecology has largely arisen from the urgent need to understand how fragmented landscapes alter dispersal and gene flow of threatened species, and how species invasions affect species richness and ecosystem functioning. Over the past decade, the metapopulation and metacommunity concepts have emerged as powerful frameworks in which to place population demography, community interactions, and ecosystem properties in a spatially explicit context. Research in the lab employs experimental and observational approaches to extend this theory to diverse species and landscapes. To date, we have conducted field research in: the ponds of Alabama and Michigan; the lakes and reservoirs of Alabama, California, Texas, and New England; and the arid wetlands of the Cuatro Ciénegas Biosphere Reserve in Mexico.
Despite the broad geographic extent of our work, members of the lab maintain a focus on mechanistic studies with shared, mutually informative research themes in community, landscape, and ecosystem ecology. Find out more about our current research below.
We use non-native aquatic species (e.g., Daphnia lumholtzi, Dreissena bugensis, Dreissena polymorpha) to take a mechanistic and trait-based approach towards understanding the process and impacts of biological invasion within ecological communities. This work combines observational studies in reservoirs and experimental approaches in mesocosms. Associated applied research includes the development of invasion risk assessment models for dreissenid mussels and reservoirs in the southwestern US.
We evaluate the role of succession in metacommunity structure using beaver-formed ponds and associated streams in the Talladega National Forest, AL as a model system. We study the response of fish, zooplankton and crayfish communities to pond age. Additionally, we are interested in how food chain length changes across the chronosequences of replicate successional pond mosaics.This work combines traditional sampling methods and DNA barcoding to characterize species diversity across temporal and spatial scales. Future studies will integrate mesocosm experiments to better isolate mechanistic responses underlying observed patterns of diversity.
With our new mesocosm facility at University of Alabama's Tanglewood Biological Station, there are several opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to mechanistically test questions about the role of species dispersal and diversity in influencing community invasibility, community response, and ecosystem function using plankton communities. This is a future research area of the lab that builds on our previous and current studies. There is opportunity to develop independent research projects strongly grounded in theory.
A collaborative research effort develops trait-based invasive species risk assessments for non-native fishes in North America. The research focuses on identifying traits of non-native fish which are associated with different stages of invasion. Comparative studies of non-native fish communities in multiple regions of North America that differ in spatial extent, environment, and regional native species pool elucidate region-independent patterns of important and shared traits associated with invasion. Additionally, this research identifies non-native fish species in international trade (e.g., aquarium, live-food) which pose a threat to freshwater ecosystems across North America. This integrative science informs community ecology theory, management practices, and environmental policy.

Antique Clocks & More has an extensive and interesting inventory which is constantly changing.
Willem Tjonasan’s obsession with clocks was a ticking time bomb until he decided to turn his hobby into a profession and opened one of Toronto’s only Antique Clock Shops. After years of collecting, Willem and his wife Viveca had more than 160 working antique clocks ticking, tocking and chiming away in their home.
The obvious solution was to move their clocks out and into a showroom on Avenue Road near Old Orchard Grove in North Toronto. ‘We had so much, the house was jam-packed and we wanted to share Willem his love for the clocks with other people’, said Viveca. On March 6, 2006, the Tjonasan’s opened the warmly lit, two-room store.
Carrying a vast array of antique pieces, the stock includes some of the biggest names in clocks, like ‘Elliott’, ‘Bennett’, ‘Boulle’, ‘Pequegnat’, ‘Japy Freres’, ‘Marti’ etc. etc. Among all the different clocks, Willem’s largest inventory is saved for French Clocks, which he refers to as “… work of art”.
Some of the clocks have lasted 200/300 years, and with a little bit of care they can last another 200/300 years.
Many of these clocks are Table or Mantel clocks, but we also carry Wall clocks, Grandfather clocks, Cartel Clocks, Bracket Clocks, Carriage Clocks etc. Beyond selling clocks, Willem also repairs them and does general maintenance. He even makes house calls to ensure a clock is set up properly in his client’s home.
Among the timepieces are many other decor pieces that Viveca collects, including Music Boxes, Porcelain pieces and English and French Furniture pieces.
While Viveca is happy to have most of the clocks out of the house and in a showroom, she was surprised at how much they had become part of their life. “This is the strange thing. We had all these clocks and we were always joking about clocks. And once we went on a holiday and we couldn’t sleep because it was too quite in the hotel room”.
When visiting the store at 1866 Avenue Road in Toronto during the weekend, don’t be surprised when 12 year old Jacqueline welcomes you into her parents store and ask: “Is there anything in particular you are looking for today?” Jacqueline is the new promise for clock making in Canada. She’ll tell you that one day she will take over the store and the fixing and selling of antique clocks.

I was looking for a post on my old livejournal, and I came across this fun list. It still makes me smile even (almost) 10 years later.
About a month ago I was working on doing that 25 random things list on Facebook. I was having some problems coming up with my list, so my friend Peggy helped me out. Of course, I didn't open my email until after I had already finished my list, or I could have saved myself all kinds of work. Just for fun I've been meaning to post her list too - just finally getting around to it.
does laundry on Mondays--- if I don’t do laundry on Mondays the whole week is shot! Or, Monday is the day I spend with my favorite Washer and Dryer. Monday is my workout day, 20 times up and down the stairs to do laundry.
frugality is my life, I refuse to pay full price for anything!
I have two amazing kids….. oh, and a husband that isn’t bad either.
I have walked ? miles in my current pair of walking shoes.
there is my way of doing things, and the wrong way.
See, that was fun, wasn't it? It was fun for me, anyway.
Some of the things haven't changed much - I still do laundry on Mondays; I still walk every weekday; Jeffrey has even more Jack Daniel's; Peggy still needs help with Photoshop.

Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes spontaneous episodes of vertigo — a sensation of a spinning motion — along with fluctuating hearing loss, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), and sometimes a feeling of fullness or pressure in your ear. In many cases, Meniere's disease affects only one ear.
Although Meniere's disease is considered a chronic condition, various treatment strategies can help relieve symptoms and minimize the disease's long-term impact on your life.
Hearing loss. Hearing loss in Meniere's disease may fluctuate, particularly early in the course of the disease. Eventually, most people experience some degree of permanent hearing loss.
Feeling of fullness in the ear. People with Meniere's disease often feel aural fullness or increased pressure in the ear.
See your doctor if you experience any signs or symptoms of Meniere's disease. Because any one of these problems may be the result of other illnesses, it's important to get an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible.
The cause of Meniere's disease isn't well understood. It appears to be the result of the abnormal volume or composition of fluid in the inner ear.
The inner ear is a cluster of connected passages and cavities called a labyrinth. The outside of the inner ear is made of bone (bony labyrinth). Inside is a soft structure of membrane (membranous labyrinth) that's a slightly smaller, similarly shaped version of the bony labyrinth. The membranous labyrinth contains a fluid (endolymph) and is lined with hair-like sensors that respond to movement of the fluid.
Because no single cause has been identified, it's likely that Meniere's disease is caused by a combination of factors.
The unpredictable episodes of vertigo are usually the most debilitating problem of Meniere's disease. The episodes often force a person to lie down for several hours and lose time from work or leisure activities, and they can cause emotional stress.
You're likely to first see your family doctor or a general practitioner. Eventually, however, your primary care doctor may refer you to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist, a hearing specialist (audiologist), or a nervous system specialist (neurologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, especially those you experience during an episode and make a note of how frequently episodes recur. Note how long each episode of spinning lasts as well as how long until you feel back to normal after an episode.
Write down questions to ask your doctor, such as what's the best next step in your diagnosis or treatment plan. Also, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
If you have signs or symptoms associated with Meniere's disease, your doctor will ask you questions about your sensory problems, order tests that evaluate the quality of inner ear function and order other tests to screen for possible causes of the problems.
Between episodes of vertigo, the sense of balance returns to normal for most people with Meniere's disease. But there may be some degree of ongoing balance problems.
There are several tests that assess function of the inner ear. Some or all of these tests can yield abnormal results in a person with Meniere's disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This technique uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create images of soft tissues in the body. It can be used to produce either a thin cross-sectional "slice" or a 3-D image of your brain.
No cure exists for Meniere's disease, but a number of strategies may help you manage some symptoms. Research shows that most people with Meniere's disease respond to treatment, although long-term hearing loss is difficult to prevent.
Your doctor may prescribe a medication to reduce fluid retention (diuretic), such as the drug combination triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide (Dyazide, Maxzide). Reducing the amount of fluid your body retains may help regulate the fluid volume and pressure in your inner ear. For some people a diuretic helps control the severity and frequency of Meniere's disease symptoms.
Hearing aid. A hearing aid in the ear affected by Meniere's disease may improve your hearing. Your doctor can refer you to an audiologist to discuss what hearing aid options would be best for you.
Meniett device. For vertigo that's hard to treat, this therapy involves the application of positive pressure to the middle ear to improve fluid exchange. A device called a Meniett pulse generator applies pulses of pressure to the ear canal through a ventilation tube. The treatment is performed at home, usually three times a day for five minutes at a time. Initial reports on the Meniett device show improvement in symptoms of vertigo, tinnitus and aural pressure, but its long-term effectiveness has not been determined.
Gentamicin, an antibiotic that's toxic to your inner ear, reduces the balancing function of your ear, and your other ear assumes responsibility for balance. The procedure, which can be performed during local anesthesia in your doctor's office, often reduces the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks. There is a risk, however, of further hearing loss.
Avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG). Some prepackaged food products and prepared restaurant foods contain MSG, a type of sodium. MSG can contribute to fluid retention. Check ingredient labels or ask your restaurant server if the food you're considering ordering contains MSG.
Some evidence suggests that lifestyle factors may worsen symptoms of Meniere's disease or act as triggers for the onset of symptoms. Your doctor may recommend the following changes to alleviate symptoms or help prevent the onset of symptoms.
Stop smoking. Avoiding nicotine may lessen the severity of Meniere's disease symptoms.
Manage stress and anxiety. It's difficult to know whether stress and anxiety act as triggers for Meniere's disease symptoms or are the result of having the disorder. Some evidence suggests, however, that managing stress and anxiety may lessen the severity of symptoms and enable you to cope with the disorder. Professional psychotherapy may help you identify stressors and develop strategies for dealing with stress and anxiety. Medications to alleviate anxiety also may be beneficial.
Avoid allergens. Some reports note an association between allergies and Meniere's disease. Controlling your exposure to allergens and managing allergies with appropriate treatment may help manage Meniere's disease, as well.
Migraine prevention. Emerging evidence linking Meniere's disease and migraine suggest that migraine management may lessen the severity of Meneire's disease.
Meniere's disease may affect your interaction with friends and family, your productivity at work, and the overall quality of your life. You may find encouragement and understanding in a support group. Group members can provide information, resources, support and coping strategies. Your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area, or you may find information about local groups from the Vestibular Disorders Association.

William Trask, 11, of Preston recently earned his black belt in karate from Northstar Martial Arts in Norwich.
In the news: William Trask, 11, of Preston, recently earned his black belt in karate from Northstar Martial Arts in Norwich. Northstar teaches a mix of disciplines, including jujitsu and Krav Maga kickboxing.
Background: Trask is the son of Carrie Ann and William Trask and has two brothers, Logan, 8, and Brenton, 6. He attends Preston Plains School and was the second youngest in his class to attain the black belt. Trask’s excitement about martial arts was contagious at home. Both his brothers, along with his father, now attend karate classes. Trask also plays baseball, snow boards, wake boards and occasionally rides a quad.
Tested: For his final test to attain black belt, Trask was judged in eight forms and also completed a 1,000-word essay about what it means to him. He also had to complete 100 push-ups, 100 leg lifts and 100 squats.
Motivation: Trask said he started taking karate six years ago when he was in first grade. The classes were a response to some bullying from other classmates. His parents say the karate has helped him with self-discipline, school grades and household chores.

When the original Suzuki Vitara (known as the Escudo and Sidekick in some markets) was launched in the late 1980s it became an instant success with buyers who wanted a stylish small off-roader that stood out in a crowd. Indeed, a number capitalised on its eye-catching style to use the Vitara as a mobile billboard, emblazoned with company names and logos.
Although it might have been a style accessory for some, I well remember the Vitara’s genuine ability off road. This Vitara disappeared some time ago, with its name living on in the slightly larger Grand Vitara. But now, the Vitara is back.
Like its predecessor, the new Suzuki Vitara is clearly positioned at the small end of the off-road sector. But, where its predecessor came as standard with four-wheel-drive, Suzuki have recognised the growing market for vehicles with a tough 4x4 looks and stance, but without the higher price and running costs of four-wheel drive. So, this time round, you can have a Suzuki Vitara with front-wheel-drive only. So equipped, the SZ4 1.6 costs just under £14,000 on-the-road.
My road test car was the Suzuki Vitara SZ5 Allgrip which comes in at £20,299 on-the-road. There are four modes on the standard Allgrip four-wheel-drive system – normal, snow, sport and lock. Yes, this Vitara not only comes equipped with four-wheel-drive, but off-road aficionados will be delighted to see that it has a diff lock. At the lower price end of the market this element of serious off-road kit is a relative rarity.
The Vitara SZ5 Allgrip also has hill descent control to control the vehicle speed when descending slippery slopes, a situation where a panic touch on the brakes can prove disastrous.
The generosity of equipment extends into other aspects of the Vitara’s package. In SZ5 specification, the Vitara comes with sat-nav, a giant sunroof, cruise control, climate control, LED headlights, leather and suede-style upholstery, tyre pressure monitor and parking sensors. Suzuki also get extra gold stars for cruise control that is adaptive, using radar to maintain the gap from the car in front.
The radar system that drives the adaptive cruise control is also at the heart of the collision control system, also standard on the SZ5. If the radar senses an imminent collision and the driver does not react, the system will apply the brakes automatically to avoid or lessen the impact.
The one area in which the Suzuki Vitara is not so well equipped as others, is in the gear department. In petrol-engined form the Vitara comes with only five gears. In real terms that lack of ratios really does not seem to hamper the performance, or the economy. But, it does mean you have to remember not to look for sixth gear, because that is where the Vitara has reverse!
The performance is as lively as you are likely to expect in a car in this class with 0-62 mph taking 11.4 seconds and the Vitara feels reasonably lively through the gears, in ’sport’ setting. More remarkable is the economy. The official combined figure is 67.3 mpg. What impressed me was to find it easy to get better than 40 mpg on a four-wheel-drive SUV. Diesel Vitaras come with six gears.
The Vitara is based on the architecture of the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross and that means a lower stance than some off-roaders. Park it beside a Volkswagen Tiguan, for example, and it is notably less lofty.
This lower height probably contributes to the good body control and notably flat cornering. The Vitara is an easy car to drive in city and on country roads. The steering is light, but precise, with good turn in.
Refinement could be stronger and there is a notable amount of road and wind noise.
As I said, the original Suzuki Vitara stood out for its style. Some may argue that the new Suzuki Vitara is a tad bland, particularly in the muted colour scheme of the test car. But, perhaps because of this, Suzuki offer various options to personalise it with more adventurous colour schemes, grille treatments, wheel-arch finishers, or the ‘Urban’ and ‘Rugged’ packs.
Space inside the Vitara is surprisingly good given its fairly compact dimensions. That said, headroom in the back may be a bit restricted for tall passengers, thanks, I suspect, to that giant sunroof.
Load space is also good for the class, with a bit of additional space below the boot floor. This is where you will find the canister of sealant and tyre pump that take the place of a spare wheel.
Suzuki is known for no-nonsense interiors and so it is with the Vitara. Everything is straight forward and quite well laid out. The only sad thing is that the interior really could do with a lift. To eyes that are used to European standards of trim and materials, silver grey plastic highlights should be consigned to history along with the myriads of Japanese transistor radios that it used to adorn.
This rather dowdy interior is a shame, considering style was one of the attributes that earned the original Suzuki Vitara a place in the affections of owners in the 1980s and 1990s.
It is an interesting time for the new Suzuki Vitara to enter the market. There are strong competitors out there with cars like the Skoda Yeti and the Vauxhall Mokka. Undercutting the 4x4 Yeti and priced a little above the 4x4 Mokka, the Vitara has the potential edge when it comes to standard kit and off-road equipment.

San Francisco—August 26, 2015— Riverbed Technology, the leader in application performance infrastructure, today announced that it will demonstrate at VMworld 2015 in booth #2411 how businesses can navigate today's complex hybrid IT environments and overcome availability, latency, and security issues to deliver agility to the business and maximum application performance to users in any location.
In today's hybrid IT world, the ever-increasing mobility of end users, adoption of cloud services, and use of the Internet to complement MPLS links are reshaping business and enterprise IT. This hybrid environment spans on-premises and cloud apps as well as public and private networks. IT leaders must develop strategies to support traditional infrastructure while also rolling out their own cloud services, and provide support to mobile users accessing shadow applications that IT does not control while also leveraging the Internet to expand the available paths for application delivery.

heres a mid 1960's raleigh loop frame DL-1 roadster frame, fork, fenders and chain guard for sale on ebay, incase anyone is interested. thanks.
As promised in an earlier post... an article which is kind of interesting... fun... and with some rather dubious conclusions.
Be sure to substitute a "tilde" for the apostrophe before "ulrich". Now we need a study on how much less likely one is to dope slap a smarmy researcher if one is happier as a result of bicycling.
Ah... yes.. .I didn't look closely... the olde tilde substution.
As to the article... or "paper" or whatever... I surely hope the author had his tongue firmly planted in-cheek whilst composing it.
If he (or she) didn't.... well... let's just hope that's not at all the case.
I sure would have. I got a chuckle out of reading it for certain. Be it serious... or not.
It's gotta be twist on "A Modest Proposal" even though he seems to deny a Swiftian nature of the piece. What a crock...lets all eat KFC, drive Hummers, consume voraciously and save the world.
I'm there!! Can't wait to get my go-kart-motor-on-a-tandem-frame monstrosity going so I can visit the new In N Out burger even more!!!
See! See! I'm not the only one who has these ideas about tandem frames with motors!
Ah, great to be alive!
These folks seem to have a pretty good stock of various items. Has anyone here dealt with them and do you have good things to say about them or ????
I sit here with visions of red Raleigh r nuts in my mind.
Good day, everyone. I've recently acquired a 1974 Raleigh Tourist and, of course, love it. Does anyone know offhand what racks/child carriers/front baskets will fit on this bike with the large 28" wheels and the rod brake hardware?

A new stage in a lucrative military-truck contract could make or break the stock.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Force Protection ( FRPT - Get Report) fans have high hopes for the next stage in the government's armored-vehicle procurement effort.
Billions of dollars will be at stake in a program now widely called MRAP II. The big-budget sequel to the Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle program funds the purchase of vehicles that can protect U.S. soldiers deployed overseas from threats like mines and bombs.
Force Protection landed a big role in the original MRAP program. But with the curtain set to rise on MRAP II, Force Protection may be forced to share the spotlight with deep-pocketed rivals including Navistar ( NAVZ and a new venture formed by Oshkosh ( OSK - Get Report) and Ceradyne ( CRDN.
Ladson, S.C.-based Force Protection believes it is up to the task, but some observers suspect the result will be even more pressure on Force Protection's once-highflying stock.
"Even as talk of pulling out of Iraq grows louder, the military has been recruiting other, bigger contractors to help with production," The Wall Street Journal noted earlier this month. "The big companies are diversified builders of everything from ships and Gulfstream jets to dump trucks, while tiny Force Protection largely owes its existence to building MRAPs for the U.S. military's campaign in Iraq. ... More than its rivals, Force Protection's volatile shares waver on the news of MRAP awards going to other contractors."
Just compare the stock charts of General Dynamics ( GD - Get Report) and Force Protection, for example. The two companies rank as equal partners in a joint venture competing for MRAP awards. But General Dynamics depends on MRAP business far less, so it trades within a few dollars of its all-time high. Force Protection, up 7 cents to $15.98 on Tuesday, has lost half its stock-market value after hitting a record earlier this year.
That steep decline actually emboldens Force Protection bulls, though.
"The stock is cheap virtually no matter what earnings assumptions one makes," C.E. Unterberg Towbin analyst James McIlree said last month. "This is the type of environment the big players wait for to make acquisitions, when a stock tumbles and much of the risk has been taken out of the shares."
McIlree has a buy recommendation and a $32 price target on Force Protection's stock. His firm has investment banking ties to the company.
Looking ahead, McIlree calls MRAP II "the next battlefield" for Force Protection. Given its strong performance and production record so far, he feels that Force Protection should enjoy a definite edge in that fight.
Meanwhile, Force Protection has been loudly reminding the military of its strengths. This summer, the company launched an advertising campaign targeting the likes of Defense News and Military Times that touts "the unmatched battlefield performance" of its popular MRAP vehicles.
"Our business is the protection of our troops facing deadly explosive threats on a daily basis," stated Force Protection Vice President Michael Aldrich. "We feel it is important for them to know that there is a proven solution that is being manufactured and delivered as quickly as possible to support them in their critical mission."
Force Protection has been making those claims for some time, even as rivals like Navistar have managed to land huge contracts and meet tough production deadlines to boot.
Going forward, two newcomers -- Oshkosh and Ceradyne -- hope to snag a piece of the action as well. Their new vehicle, known as the Bull, can withstand hits from powerful "explosively formed penetrators" and is therefore considered an early favorite for MRAP II awards. Still, the companies are realistic about their odds.
"While Oshkosh is optimistic about its chances to play a larger role in MRAP II ... it believes that competitors currently building MRAP I vehicles may have an advantage," Robert W. Baird analyst Robert McCarthy wrote this month. Still, "management appears confident it has learned from its MRAP I experiences and that its proposal for MRAP II will be considerably stronger."
McCarthy has an outperform rating and a $75 price target on Oshkosh's stock, which rose 3.5% to $56.55 on Tuesday. His firm has investment banking ties to the company.
Ceradyne, which tapped Oshkosh as its partner earlier this year, clearly expects the Bull to burst onto the MRAP scene. The company -- already the top supplier of body armor for U.S. soldiers in Iraq -- stands to pick up some new followers if that happens.
"Vehicle armor represents a large new potential market," Morgan Joseph analyst Michael French stressed when initiating coverage of Ceradyne last month. French, whose firm seeks to do business with the companies it covers, has a hold recommendation on Ceradyne now -- but he indicates that could change.
"If ... the company is successful in its vehicle armor initiatives -- and that becomes evident this fall -- we would become more aggressive on the shares," he wrote.

Reliability, functionality and style - the Xikar Forte Single Torch Lighter has it all!
Xikar is known for making great lighters with the best warranty in the industry, and the Forte is a superb addition to the lineup..A thumb trigger not only sparks the fuel but opens the jet at the same time, and the piezo electric ignition system eliminates the need for messy flints. It fires up a super-hot, single, blue, torch flame that will light up even in a gale. A large fuel cell window lets you know when to refuel, and the easy to access, oversized flame height adjustment wheel makes it a snap to get the perfect flame. Add to that a 7mm swing-out punch cutter and six great finishes, and the Forte Single Torch Lighter is a must-have.
There are no customer reviews for Xikar Forte Single Torch Lighter, yet. Be the first to write one!

I am hoping someone from the lenovo support staff is reading this forum and can help me.
I toyed around bit to much in the android debugging console and did a "wipe all" instead of a "wipe data", while the /system partition was mounted read-write.
After this I left myself with an empty and non backuped /system partition.
Is there any way that lenovo can provide me with a flashable zip of the factory shipped rom, that I can flash onto the device using adb sideload?
The recovery is still booting via -> META MODE + adb reboot recovery, so I think the reflashing via sideload should work too..
My device ihas the model number: 60046 and the serial number: xxxxx and was bought via amazon.de on 11-16-2013, shipped 11-18-2013. Proof of ownership can be provided via the delivery receipt.
I found an image at http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/3182-rom-yoga-10-a422-000-040-131023-ww-wifi/ .
The system.img can be flashed via adb sideload. It is also possible to flash the whole tablet vi SP Flash Tool from mediatek, as long as you haven't destroyed the Preloader yet, if the recovery image isn't booting anymore.
Problem is solve on my side.
BTW.: contacted the german lenovo support via email on the matter. They didn't even bother to write back. Paints a very ugly picture of customer appreciation. Definetly my last Lenovo Device.
Which link was it that you used? I can't read Russian.
I used google chrome and it asks you if you want to change to another language.
I registered an account on the russian lenovo forum via the green button in the top right corner.
I used google translate to get the essetials needed for the registration in english.
After you confirmed the account via a link send to you by email, you can login via the "Вход" button.
When you're logged in, klick "Скачать: с нашего форума" to get to the download page and the green "Скачать" button again to start the download.
You have to accept the license agreement by scrolling down and hit the grey button on the left side.
This will take you to the actual download link. Another klick on the green "Скачать" button and the download starts.
but it doesn't work, unless yoyur logged in. I also gues that the link is created dynamically.
BTW: I finally dicided to put the yoga 10 on ebay and got me a galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition - much better choice, should have gone that way from the beginning. Samsung provides everything you need to install a custom recovery to backup your system and flash (custom) roms. A cool exterior design doesn't make up for entry level hardware and bad support.
Hello I'm French so the translator helps me.
I bought a tablet yoga 10 and I can not make the current implementation to date. It downloads and when the tablet reboots to install the update bein tablet'm just constantly reboot and not accesses the recovery well.
Could you give me a hand thank you in advance.
I'm not sure if the above will apply to my problem. I recemtly porchased a Yoga 10 inch tablet. it has worked perfectly until today. It was turned off, and when I tried turning it on. All i got was a black screen, with the word 'LENOVO' in white.
In the bottom left hand corner it says. 'The device is in META MODE. Long press the power button to normal boot'. I have tried this a number of times, but nothing happens. All i can see is the black screen with lenovo showing. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
