text: This will probably not come as a surprise to anyone (even Jeff, but I am sure he will argue it). Watching my local news last night is see a story about a local project that is funded by the porklus money. Now the project itself is a good one and I am not knocking that. It is a road project that will extend a heavily traveled road 2.5 or so miles to another road. This has been needed for some time because of the traffic in the area. Now the thing that amused me is this, the story said that this project will take about 2 years and, here is the good part, create 1700 jobs! Yes they said 1700 jobs will be created by this project. Now I have never been in road construction but I know it does not take 1700 people to build a 2.5 mile road. My guess is there are calculating this based on businesses building along this new stretch of road. You really cant count the people building the road because I know a number of people in this type of work and they seem to be one of the construction types that are not having a problem with work. The problem with the 1700 jobs created by the assumption that businesses will open along the new road is that our area has seen a dramatic drop in our population since the building boom has vanished. You see businesses all over that have closed up. With less demand for things due to less population and businesses closing and very few opening where are these new businesses going to come from? 1700 jobs aint going to happen from this, no way, no how. The road will take at least 2 years to build so if the jobs are coming form new businesses along that road it will be at least 3 years before the first one opens. I am sure obongo and his bunch will tout this as 1700 more jobs created under his infinite wisdom, but it is nothing more than what we seem to always get form him ..smoke and mirrors.

THIS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated this 27th day of April, 2017BETWEEN:
_________________________ of (the "Client")
_________________________ of (the "Contractor").
IN CONSIDERATION OF the matters described above and of the mutual benefits and obligations set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which consideration is hereby acknowledged, the Client and the Contractor (individually the "Party" and collectively the "Parties" to this Agreement) agree as follows:
or to such other address as any Party may from time to time notify the other, and will be deemed to be properly delivered (a) immediately upon being served personally, (b) two days after being deposited with the postal service if served by registered mail, or (c) the following day after being deposited with an overnight courier.
_________________________ (Client)
_________________________ (Contractor)
An Independent Contractor Agreement is also known as:
Also known as a consultant or freelancer, an independent contractor is a business or individual that typically works for his or herself and provides a product or service for a customer in exchange for monetary compensation.
An Independent Contractor Agreement is a written contract that spells out the terms of the working arrangement between a contractor and customer, including the services provided; terms and length of the project or service; payment details; and confidentiality, non-solicitation and dispute resolution clauses.
While there are many ways to distinguish an employee from a contractor, here are some of the most common ways an employer can differentiate between the two types of workers.
Classifying a worker correctly allows an employer to file its taxes accordingly and ensures the employer is complying with employment laws.
Employers must pay a portion of payroll taxes on their employees, whereas independent contractors conduct their own personal tax filings.
Confidentiality is a concern for customers who may be entrusting private or sensitive material when hiring an independent contractor to carry out a service for their company.
In a contractor agreement, you can include terms to prevent a freelancer from divulging information about your business. There are also terms about non-solicitation and non-competition in the event there are conflict of interests in the industry or a risk of competition.

Washington Nationals games among most expensive for families
Enjoying a game at Nationals Park is one of the most expensive family outings in Major League Baseball, according to Chicago-based Team Marketing Report.
The sports marketing publisher has created a Fan Cost Index, which includes four adult average-priced tickets, two draft beers, four soft drinks, four hot dogs, parking for one car, two game programs and two baseball caps.
The the combined cost of those things at a Nationals game is $236.46, up 19.3 percent from last year and the fourth-most expensive for an MLB team.
A 16-ounce beer at Nats Park costs $8.25, the most expensive beer among MLB ballparks.
A day at Baltimore's Camden Yards is about 30 percent cheaper than a day at Nats Park.
The Orioles come in 24th this year with a Fan Cost Index of $169.06, down 4 percent from last year.
The most expensive teams for fans are the Boston Red Sox, at $336.99 for a family of four, the New York Yankees, at $324.30, and the Chicago Cubs, at $298.20.
A family of four can enjoy a day at an Arizona Diamondbacks game for $151.55, the least expsensive among MLB teams.
The MLB Fan Cost Index average this season is $210.46, a 1.2 percent increase over last season.

I was stationed in Germany when the actual attack happened, and we all believed that we'd be getting ready to deploy to war. But Clinton, in his infinite ineptitude, chickened out and gave America one of our most humiliating defeats in history. A couple of short range nukes would've taken care of those animals dragging our soldiers' bodies through the streets. And set a good example for all the uncultured nations out there looking to pick a fight.
Sorry, touchy subject.

BHD! AAWWWW YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! This movie was GREAT!!!!! I saw it about 2 or 3 weeks ago, but I can't wait to see it in theatres because my copy was pretty crappy! It's gotta be incredible on the big screen! I highly recommened it to everyone! 4 out of 5 *'s! 4 out of 5, only 'cause I never give a 1 or a 5 to any movie.
Actually that's not true, I gave 1* to Pearl Harbor, because that has got to be the worst movie of all time! I would have been ashamed If i knew there was a veteran of PH in the audience with me. It was so bad I felt guilty afterwards, because I was laughing about 1/2 way though, GOD it was aweful!
Anyways, anyone who hated PH too, I highly recommend BHD, 'cause it redeems hollywood war films!
i saw this film on sunday, and i was very impressed. an excellent film, and from what i have heard, is very true to the actual events.
what most impressed me was the fact that like in desert storm, this is a 100% volintary army. the fact that these guys choose to join up gets mucho respect from me. too bad they didn't have the tanks originally requested. they would of been out of there in a few hours instead of having to fight all night.
a very good film. i highly recommend.
anyone know why delta force wears a different helmet than the rangers wear? and in the film, delta force soldies seemed really cocky. one of them was almost talking down to a superior officer of the rangers. does that really happen?

Black Hawk Down makes it into my top ten movies of the year. It might have been higher, but it suffers from TBWB syndrome. (The Book Was Better) After I read the book, I had tears in my eyes because it captured the emotional aspect of these young men, who fought and died with each other, so well. If you liked the movie, I highly super recommend reading the book at once. And Pearl Harbor wasn't the worst movie of the year. Here are the 5 worst of 2001
5. Tomb Raider
4. Hannibal
3. Scary Movie 2
2. Spy Kids
and the worst movie of 2001
1. Vanilla Sky
Honorable mentions also go out to Shallow Hal and Planet of the Apes...
Mopping up vomit in a Caster(sp?) oil taste testing factory would have been worth more my effort than the pain of watching Vanilla Sky. Tom Cruise's roles lately have absolutely sucked. I couldn't be any happier. The dude is a poser and a moron for letting Nichole slip away.
Back to the subject...sounds like Black Hawk Down is a good movie.
Hey are their any opinions on "A beautiful Mind"? One of my friends saw and said not to waste my money and my Mom keeps calling me to ask if I've seen it yet?
What say you lads? And any lasses that are watching? I'm any equal opportunity pollster
hey preacher,
your hate for tom cruise sounds very familiar. my dad refuses to watch any future tom cruies films after seeing "eyes wide shut" and "magnolia" i thought both films were o.k., but to some, cruise ruined his "image" of the all american poster boy they recall from films like top gun.
I have to go see this. There was a guy from my hometown in North Little Rock that was killed in the actual incident. I think he was flying one of the helicopters. He has a street named after him and stuff. By any chance was there a character named "Bull" or "Donovan" in the movie? I figure they didn't use actual names, but I have to ask.
Chief Warrant Officer Donovan "Bull" Briley was the co-pilot of the first BH to go down piloted by CWO Cliff "Elvis" Wolcott who was played by Jeremy Piven in the film. Both men died instantly in the crash. The reason the expidition stayed so long at the crash site, was that they couldn't get the pilots bodies out of the wreckage. It took them several hours to cut through the metel and dig the bodies out because "no man is left behind."
I enjoyed A Beautiful Mind. It's slow in the middle, but Crowe gives yet another riveting performance.
Hate. Man, that is an awfully strong word Derek.
I don't hate Tommy...don't even know him. I'm sure he would be cool to play some billiards against, or golf. I've just been terribly disappointed in his movies the last few years. I enjoyed his performance in A Few Good Men, The Firm, and Interview With A Vampire. Vanilla Sky, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Mission Impossible II, stank really really bad.

Not many people are going to post their "I'll win all the awards because everyone else sucks" in public on the forums, but from what I've seen in private that ideal is still going waaaaay too strong with waaay too many. That is one thing that really makes me hate those that troll.
I'm sorry but I will never see the appeal in having every single contest identical with the same videos. I've heard more negative impacts on the crowd than I have positive, at least from those who actually care about AMVs and aren't just there to see Naruto dance to Lady Gaga and lol.
It's disappointing to see that this hasn't changed, it's just gone a bit more "underground." For what it's worth, this matches my own previous experiences and is why I have to break with my studiomate and agree with you here, Yue. I also prefer contests to be their own individual events and dislike the idea of every contest being the same or nearly so.

Outbreaks of skin infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been increasingly reported in sports teams including football, basketball, wrestling, volleyball and rowing teams. The athletic department, coach, trainers, and athletes share responsibility and must work together to ensure prevention and control of these skin infections.
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to simply as "staph," are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. Approximately 25% to 30% of the population is colonized (when bacteria are present, but not causing an infection) in the nose with staph bacteria. It can also be carried in the armpit, groin, or genital area. Staph bacteria are one of the most common causes of skin infections in the United States. Most of these skin infections are minor (such as pimples and boils) and can be treated without antibiotics. However, staph also can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and joint infections. Most infections occur through direct physical contact of the staphylococci with a break in the skin (cut or scrape). The staph can be spread by the infected person to someone else or to an object. Inanimate objects, such as clothing, bed linens, sports equipment, personal items (soap or wash cloths) or furniture, may be a source of infection if they become soiled with wound drainage and a non-infected person comes into contact with them. If there is no break in the skin, contact with infected persons or contaminated objects may result in colonization. Susceptibility to infection depends on factors such as immunity and general state of health. In the past, these staph infections typically have been easy to treat with an inexpensive, short course, usually well-tolerated antibiotics. Now in most communities in the U.S., over half of the staph causing skin infections are resistant to commonly used antibiotics, and the infections often return in spite of apparently successful initial treatment.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
MRSA is Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to the penicillin's, including dicloxacillin or other methicillin-related antibiotics. These bacteria are also resistant to the cephalosporins, such as Keflex®. Originally MRSA was confined to hospitals and long-term care facilities; taking antibiotics was a risk factor for infection with MRSA. Many of these hospital-associated MRSA infections caused very serious complications and were resistant to all oral antibiotics. More recently a newer, more virulent strain of MRSA has emerged in the community that causes boils, abscesses, and other soft tissue infections that is not linked to previous antibiotic use. It is called community-associated MRSA. The frequency of infections with community-associated MRSA appears to be higher that those caused by staph in the past, particularly in athletic teams. The reasons for this increase are not known, but it is clear that the community-associated MRSA strains did not originate from the strains of MRSA that cause infections in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
Disease Reporting
On February 14, 2008, severe cases of Staphylococcus aureus infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), was added to the list of diseases reported by healthcare providers to local health departments in the state.

Why, I can smile, and murder while I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Couple of other quotes i enjoyed:The Republican elite caught a ride on the tiger. But the tiger got sick of waiting for the gazelles it was promised. So the tiger ate its master and now here we are.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...insane/280614/It happened slowly, didnt it? The change in the Republican Party? I dont know. Maybe its nostalgia. There have always been the wild, vicious voices of the right. The devil on the shoulder of the conservative movement that whispers in its ear, burn it down, burn it down. But those voices were to be ignored, humored, tolerated, placated, or just deceived. That was the way of things, and we were protected by the obvious: people who believe foolish things tend to be easy to fool...
America needs a strong, rational, positive, practical conservative movement. It needs that bulwark against liberal delusion and hubris. It needs a voice that says we are imperfect, that life is complex, that government can create need even as it meets need, that you cant fix everything and freedom is worth some danger and sorrow. And there are smart, honest conservatives at the ready to be that voice, to help govern practically and sincerely with that voice, but they are drowned out by the guttural scream of craven utopians raging against reality.
This moment in American political life is insane. That a group of narrow-minded zealots could push us to the brink of economic ruin, that they maintain a base of support in their frenzied, quixotic, incompetent gambit, that there is an apparatus that exists to defend this kind of nonsenseit came on us slowly but it is no less an emergency. This is broken. This cannot go on.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 6
A behind the scenes look at what happened during the shutdown. Interesting for those that enjoy the cat-and-mouse games of these type of situations. Its a little lengthy so i'll limit the quote to what i consider the two most damning moments for the GOP.
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/1...own-98518.htmlThe White House received intelligence from an unlikely source: Boehner's former chief of staff Barry Jackson. A lobbyist who spoke with Jackson passed on a detailed download to top administration officials. Chief among the insights was that Boehner would have to fight right up to the Oct. 17 debt limit deadline...
Sitting around a conference table in the Roosevelt Room, Obama hammered the Republicans about reopening the government, demanding repeatedly to know "what is it going to take" to get it done. A frustrated (Paul) Ryan finally stood up and urged them to come together and craft something lasting.
But what senior administration officials aides heard was a Freudian slip. "We're going to have six weeks to negotiate the debt limit," Ryan said.
Nobody challenged him, but White House aides mentally filed it away.
Unsurprising bullet points:
Conservatives truly believed Democrats would easily fold.
Tea Party felt Obama was on the ropes and ripe for taking down before the shutdown.
Biden, under vehement direction from Reid, refused to get involved.
No less then 3 GOP politicians chewed out Ted Cruz to his face.
Politicians are being sincere in their praise of Susan Collins, she worked her ass off for weeks, even after having her proposals crash and burn.
Pelosi repeatedly offered to bail Boehner out with Democratic support.
Theres more in there. Again, enjoyable insightful(though not shocking) for those that enjoy this sort of thing.
"The president gets up every day and reads the newspaper and thanks God that Ted Cruz is in the United States Senate," a Republican senator pointedly told Cruz at a closed-door meeting.I think these two quotes are interesting. It shows that there is a budding divide between the far right and the moderate right. I think the 2014 mid-terms are going to tell us a lot about the status of the GoP. I'm particularly interested in how many tea party candidates challenge moderate Republicans. I'm even more interested in what that does to the GoP internally if it's a high number. Luckily for the GoP, I think Ted Cruz is going to be the last of his kind for a while. Once he does irreparable damage to their 2016 chances, no more Bachmans, Palins, or Cruzs are going to get much mainstream attention...At one point, Cruz told GOP senators that they should force votes on bills to fund individual agencies and programs, like on veterans issues.
But McConnell bluntly told Cruz that Republicans had no procedural way of doing that. In fact, he asked Laura Dove, McConnell's chief floor expert, to explain to Cruz how Republicans were prohibited from taking such a parliamentary tactic.

A government run this inefficient gives some level of reason to shutting it down.... Being unthinkable to those directly effected, while the continuation of Government is causing great hardship to hundreds of thousands of Americans who just lost their healthcare that they were promised they could keep...
" How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing" ..... John Lennon
This thread, and others, go over why the American public is utterly disgusted by Republicans in general and the Tea Party specifically, so i wont bother listing the reasons why he wont appeal to the public at large. I'll just point out a simple fact: his base has spent the last 5 years cultivating and feeding the myth that "Obama wasnt born in America", so how in gods name does Cruz think they will voluntarily vote in a Canadian?
Its going to be damned amusing when his base viciously turns on him.

HEMATOLOGIC TOXICITY, MYOPATHY, LACTIC ACIDOSIS AND SEVERE HEPATOMEGALY WITH STEATOSIS, and EXACERBATIONS OF HEPATITIS B
Zidovudine, a component of COMBIVIR (lamivudine and zidovudine) tablets, has been associated with hematologic toxicity including neutropenia and severe anemia, particularly in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) disease [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Prolonged use of zidovudine has been associated with symptomatic myopathy [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogues and other antiretrovirals. Discontinue COMBIVIR if clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B have been reported in patients who are co-infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HIV-1 and have discontinued lamivudine, which is one component of COMBIVIR. Hepatic function should be monitored closely with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in patients who discontinue COMBIVIR and are co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV. If appropriate, initiation of anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. )

It is much too soon to write the history of America's decline and fall. Still, that doesn't stop us from guessing.
We would name the period between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of Lehman Bros - a period of only 19 years - as the peak of US power and wealth. Of course, Americans were dreaming during those years. The dreams were the usual imperial sort - that the US Empire was such a benefit to the rest of the world that the foreigners would support it indefinitely. Rome didn't take any chances; it forced its conquered nations to render tribute...slaves...gold...and wheat. The American empire depended on trade...and the dollar. As long as the United States had a commercial advantage, the empire was profitable. But as the 20th century aged, so did the US economy. Its competitors - notably Germany and Japan - had a big advantage. They had been bombed out in the '40s. They could build anew.. America's trade advantage slipped away...and then its trade balance went negative in the mid- '80s. It has been getting more negative almost every year.
The trade losses shrank after the fall of the House of Lehman. Americans cut back. But today we get news that the trade deficit has just grown more than in any month in the last 10 years. Have Americans suddenly become big spenders again? Probably not. But we'll have to wait for another explanation; we don't have one.
The fall of Lehman changed things. Then it was obvious that not only was America vulnerable, she was an enemy to herself. She had diddle- daddled during the glory years, dawdling with the lion cubs that would grow up and maul her. Now, in the period we are living through, she attempts to go back to sleep and rerun her balmy dreams. That is what "recovery" is all about - a return to the land of nod and nonsense...in which people think they can actually become wealthier by squandering money they don't have on things they don't need.
Fortunately, as near as we can tell, most private citizens are now awake. A report at the beginning of this week showed that they repaid debt at a rate four times faster than economists projected. Savings rates are rising. Spending is falling. People are doing what they should do - they're cutting back.
But the feds continue their efforts to sabotage the correction and destroy the empire. They have already blown-up the budget - with $9 trillion in deficits expected over the next 10 years. Now, they're working on the dollar.
Stock market investors seem to be looking forward to another big bull market. But with the economy deteriorating, they are probably just dreaming, too. Median household income fell 3.6% over the last 12 months. Of course, that's just what you'd expect in a correction. But it's not what the feds were hoping for. So, they're pulling out all the stops to try to turn it around. Most important, they're pulling out the stop that keeps the dollar from rolling down the hill.
The empire sinks into the mud. Yes, this is the downhill period...the slide into corruption...the period in which Juvenal complained that Romans were only interested in 'bread and circuses.'
When you are on the board of a decent corporation, for example, if you have a direct financial interest in a matter under consideration you're expected to 'declare an interest' and absent yourself from the vote. But in a mature democracy, the most self-interested citizens are those most likely to vote. Currently, about 20 million people work for government. About 45 million receive Social Security benefits. About 34 million depend on food stamps.
That's 99 million people who have a direct interest in expanding government outlays...with some overlap, of course. And it doesn't mean that every person receiving a Social Security check is going to back the feds. But it doesn't count all the millions more who get subsidies, bailouts, welfare payments (often masquerading as tax credits), government contracts, and so forth, either.
Well, how many people does it take to win a national election? Obama won with 63 million votes.
The dollar's weakness hasn't been missed by it biggest foreign holder - China.
Reported earlier this week in the Telegraph:
"'We hope there will be a change in monetary policy as soon as they have positive growth again,' said Cheng Siwei...talking about America.
"'If they keep printing money to buy bonds it will lead to inflation, and after a year or two the dollar will fall hard. Most of our foreign reserves are in US bonds and this is very difficult to change, so we will diversify incremental reserves into euros, yen, and other currencies,' he said.
"China's reserves are more than - $2 trillion, the world's largest.
"Mr. Siwei continued: 'Gold is definitely an alternative, but when we buy, the price goes up. We have to do it carefully so as not to stimulate the markets,' he added."
Then, two days ago, in came a report that China is going to issue bonds of its own - in yuan.
This news is a shot across the bow of America's imperial currency. It signals that China is moving into position to eventually challenge the greenback. Investors will have another alternative to the dollar...another bond issued by another government and backed by another economy...maybe one that is on the way up, rather than on the way down.
Meanwhile, Americans grow poorer. Bloomberg reports:
"'The decline in incomes we're seeing certainly has implications for consumer spending, particularly post-housing bubble when families can't tap into home equity through loans,' said Heather Boushey, a senior economist at the Center for American Progress, a research organization headed by John Podesta, a leader of the Obama administration transition team.
"The poverty rate is likely to keep rising through 2012, even after the recession ends, adding to pressure on the Obama administration to enact a second economic stimulus package, said Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, a policy research group.
"'We will likely have not only a jobless recovery but also a poverty- ridden recovery,' Sawhill said. 'The stimulus money is going to go away long before the poverty rate peaks.'"

... and power!
... and power!
Not real power, John. Just perceived. Don't believe it? Try changing an NFAA state or sectional director. Some of these guys hold on like they think they are the President of the United States. It's amazing sometimes.Quote:
The NAA has provided a formal response to my letter, and it is here for anyone that wishes to read it:
First, I want to thank Mr. Camp and the Executive Committee for formulating a response in such a prompt and informative manner.
That said, I do have a couple of suggestions/offers that the NAA, its Executive Committee, and Board of Governers may wish to consider:
1) I'm extending an invitation to utilize ArcheryTalk.com as a secondary communication tool in adition to www.usarchery.org. USArchery (its representatives, employees, committees, committee members, and board members) can establish their own username(s) and post here in the FITA Forum,
2) The same individuals can send any desired communications through me and I will be happy to post them on ArcheryTalk.com for them, and/or
3) I may even be able to establish a specific subforum to this FITA forum (much like the FITA classified forum) that can be used specifically and only for communications from USArchery to its members.
If USArchery is interested, please let me know and let's see what we can work out. Information flow is the key to good relationships and fewer misunderstandings.

ArcheryTalk.com Administrator
I really wonder if the removal of Lloyd was part of the standard unspoken secrecy code about not speaking out about problems within the NAA.
I have always liked Lloyd and he was one of the first NAA persons that helped me/Angela through the first rough years of dealing with the NAA bureaucracy. I have not always agreed with him but appreciated his point of view. I feel he has done archery and our youth a great service through the years.Quote:
Mr. Brown was removed from his position for communication and misrepresentation issues. His removal had nothing to do with the association books.
That statement does not help in making this letter creditable. Too much history of it.Quote:
The NAA does not operate in secrecy. We are constantly moving to a more transparent
organization. There are mechanisms in place that will allow more open and frequent
communication with the different groups within our membership. We encourage the
membership to speak directly to your representative of the board if you have any questions.
I actually have a subforum set up and ready to activate. I'm thinking about how to moderate it, and whether to make it a realtime live forum or a forum where the moderator has the ability to approve posts before they become visible. I want to think this through carefully to make it an effective communication tool rather than a place for bashing. I think that would be very discouraging and counterproductive. I'm willing to work with the NAA to establish an effective line for communication via ArcheryTalk.com.
If this works out, we can look into establishing similar subforums for other national level not for profit archery related organizations. This is just in the thinking pot stage right now though.:)
The moderation issue will be a critical negotiation point I believe. But it is just that, a negotiation point. Perhaps a shared moderation schedule with NAA having a right to remove or veto a post could work. A brief post with a reason for removal of a post may prove usefull as well in that particular type of forum. As well, a few of the "rules of warefare;)) may require modification or abrogation entirely. Entered into with an attitude of co operation between both parties this could be a forcefull and informative venue.
Now, how do we keep bowhunters from posting classifieds there?:)
The NAA has a website and, if it chooses at anytime, can give information on weekly progress and upcoming issues they are addressing. Damage control is not progress and vague statements like politicians dancing around a issue keeps us from trusting their output.
FLAMom,, RK and I have had several discussions regarding many of the issues with the NAA and the current embezzlement issue. These talks led me to a face to face meeting with Brad Camp this past week. It was at that time I made him aware of this letter and forwarded it to him via email.
I see Brad Camp's response to that letter as; business as usual.
The NAA has always operated under a cloak of inaccessibility and secretcy toward the very membership that they are supposed to serve.
They have always behaved as though they only serve the most elite of the elite athletes.
The shame of the whole thing is it is impossible to know how many valuable members they have discouraged or downright pushed away, people that had talent, and a passion to be a part of what should have been a once in a lifetime opportunity. People that had ideas and the talent and ability to have contributed not only to the NAA to make it a better organization, but to help fulfill our Olympic dream.
The general membership has never allowed any accessibility or insight into the workings of the organization, the NAA has in the past been aloof and distant, and by the tone of Brad Camp's letter, remains so today, to everyone except those that are the same familiar circle of cronies. This has been so since I can remember.
The very idea that the NAA agreed to farm out programs that had the potential to help them to raise funds, and should have been the tool to raise the bar on the manner and methods that they utilize to recruit and train coaches, along with the only real resource of youth they had...should really make one wonder... they should have taken some of our money and developed these programs themselves...
Then to add insult to injury; we now learn that while they were raising our membership dues and tournament entry fees; (reflecting some pretty health increases,,,I might add, thus making it very difficult for families to afford to become a member and participate in the NAA organization and activities... (especially struggling families) some of them were actually skimming that money for their own use???? Come on!
How sad for all of us, especially the NAA.
As the Executive Director, isn't Brad Camp; like any other Executive Director in charge of any large organization, I would think he is ultimately as responsible as the lady accused of taking our (not their!!!!!!) money, and should be held accountable as well.
The NAA does not operate in secrecy. We are constantly moving to a more transparent
organization. There are mechanisms in place that will allow more open and frequent
communication with the different groups within our membership. We encourage the
membership to speak directly to your representative of the board if you have any questions
To Brad Camp, In view of all that is happening, and has happened, your comment is an insult, sir. The members deserve a clearer more honest explaination than a vague reference of a "mechanism is in place". What is this mechanism... exactly how will it work?
That answer was the same tired old answer we have been subjected to from the NAA, for just about ever...... it is still about as clear as mud.....The time has passed that you can effectively pass the buck with the same ole statement directing us to "our represenative of the board".
IF???? we have questions? We do have many questions, and you owe to us as the Executive Director of OUR organization to answer them in a timely manner and freely with the truth.
I think that it is time that the membership posting here starts to define "Transparency".
I am quite interested in hearing in definite terms exactly how the org should conduct business and disseminate information in a manner which is deemed acceptable to the membership.

If you received 75+ % of your funds from the USOC to support only these athletes, how would you delegate your time and efforts?
It is reasonable to expect that we must honor the desires and wishes of the USOC and anyone else that oversees and provides so much major support to us... but, I bet that the USOC has never dictated to the NAA that they must remain unaccessible to the general population, to work only from within. I don't think for a moment that the USOC has mandated that NAA only is allowed to focus on the uppermost level of the elite... they are obviously concerned that we haven't developed a solid system to draw from for our future elite athletes and coaches, or the educational system we need in order to find and develop them. The fact that the best we could do was to go outside our own country, and spend so much money to acquire someone else to come in and try to show us how to define a program, for not only our athletes, but our entire teaching system, really is pitiful... what HAVE we been doing for the last decade... ? Doesn't look like much to me... what are we doing to make a positive change?
Dishonoring the only coach that brough home gold for us in the last decade, in such a public way... (shameful, how embarassing for us as a country)...making it virtually impossible for him and all the many other excellent American coaches to have any constructive imput or activity into the development of our programs... then justifying this unacceptable public display by blaming others for the problems. I don't think this is the way the USOC has ruled we should behave as NGB.
The NAA has evolved into an archery subsidiary of the USOC. It is run like an independent business or somewhat like government agency. The members are like shareholders waiting for news from the company about their investment. Shareholders are only notified about major changes to their investment. The shareholders do not have rights to know about day to day operations or are they involved in future direction. Not to say that the company does not use committees to further its' input to its shareholders while the company does what it wants. This way there will be always be a few that agree that the committee was responsible for the direction the company uses based upon the committee's decisions.
Now I will go to the subsidiaries of the NAA( Judges, JOAD, Coaches, Etc.). They are run better than the company because they show results. They are free to communicate with each other within their group as long as they just deal with their missions. Parent Company business discussion is held to the minimum. It is not good to go off track.
The Company wants input/output from each subsidiary. That is how they base their progress to the Master corporation(USOC). Each Subsidiary has a Spoke person with a place of importance in the Company. The Company wants to keep privacy over it's business so they aways keep a gag order and personnel screening in their ByLaws over each Subsidiary Spoke person. Shareholders have rights but are limited to annual meetings, as per ByLaws, which are always located inconveniently to the majority. Only active members that travel to that location can vote in these meetings.
The NAA can not grow with all the controls it has in place. The ByLaws need to be sent out for discussion to each State. The NAA membership needs to give input into these ByLaws and make changes that benefit the voting rights and open discussion of the overall membership. The overall membership needs to vote on them.
The USOC chases away independent sponsors with their National contracts. I found a National sponsor in the past but NAA /USOC conditions drove them away. The NAA needs to look hard on how to get Sponsors to wean itself from the USOC total control.
I believe the NAA has posted a response to Record Keepers letter to Brad Camp. You can see it at usarchery.org
has anyone at nationals gotten any feed back?
I can't argue with anything you said. I do, however, want to clarify some stuff from my view as a prior member of the board because I do believe the NAA tries its best to be as transparent as it can be. Now, that might sound like more politics; but it's true. There are many things that occur day-to-day in any organization (or business) that the general membership need not be made aware of lest some members try to micro manage the organization. It's like a tournament, and I speak from experience of having run the Indoor Nationals in Andover for eight years and one Outdoor JOAD Nationals, many problems pop up behind the scenes but you handle them as quickly and efficiently as possible, and never let them influence the athletes. From the front it seems like the tournament ran smoothly. That being said, the office can only do so much. The true face of the NAA (and the problem) is the elected regional representatives and the committee chairs and it's members, and here is where the system begins to fail. With a few exceptions, our elected representatives only act as such when the board meets twice a year. Trying to get a return call or email any other time is like "pulling teeth". We never hear from committee chairs and/or their regional representatives either. Wouldn't it be nice if your regional JOAD rep contacted all the clubs in your area and offered assistance in training on how to grow your club, or even asked for suggestions (paying a visit to the area once a year would of course be asking too much)? How about the membership director calling the members at random to inquire how the NAA could better serve them and their family? I could go on and on with examples. As the first (and short lived) director of membership and resource development (the original name of the committee), I was told by our then Presdent that you could not resonably expect that kind of effort out of a volunteer network or require state associations to do things like progress reports, hold tournaments, or even require loyality to the NAA. When I disagreed with him, I was canned for "not being a team player". The attitude continues today, and has gotten worse. According to my sources, JOAD's new Star program was still being evualated by the committee when Lloyd gave the contract to NADA. This caused a lot of tension. How about asking the member clubs if they would like a change? Sorry, that would entail a certain degree of effort from the regional representative that cannot be expected. Or how about a senior officer of the NAA going to an event on NAA funding but representing equipment manufacture(s) once he got there? That's a good one! He didn't even wear an NAA pin at least. Or, how about going to Germany on an NAA ticket representing Archery Focus without the NAA being reimbursed by Archery Focus for that ticket (the ticket was purchased in his name earlier when he was an officer of the NAA).
Farming out the management of the JOAD program means that the committee has reduced authority (if any) over the program. Lloyd gave it away for a piece of the pie. Our NAA Level 1 & 2 instructor program no longer belongs to us. The manual has been changed so much that I doubt our copyright would be enforceable if push come to shove. I'm so glad the NADA has to hire more employees because their growing (using our materials and smart business planning - things the NAA should have had the foresight to do) so quickly.
So now, under this new arrangement with the USOC, we are going to give direct control of the Board to those very committees because only the members of group can vote within their group, and if you belong to more than one, you have to choose your loyality. How stupid can we be.

Sri Lanka's Primeval Rainforest

Hide lines
Tea plantations, home gardens, and secondary forests surround the park. The boundary and its protected status are what keep Sinharaja what it is--full of life unshackled by human dominion, in a manner of speaking, yet still very much connected with people.
But unlike many nature reserves, where fences are constructed around the periphery in a desperate effort to keep wildlife inside and humans outside, Sinharaja is a Man and the Biosphere Reserve.
To me, this is interesting, because one mission of the park becomes creating harmony between man and the other organisms in and around the park: the boundary begins to melt. The more harmony, the more the boundary melts. Fences are no longer necessary, if all goes well.
Things he showed me (there were more):
Two. A plant that cures malaria. Yes, another alternative to quinine, also a plant-derived cure.
Four. Honey: Forest bees have nests high in the trees. Villagers pound bamboo posts into the trees to climb the immense trees--at night--to brave the bees. "It's very dangerous," said Pali, craning his neck as he followed the posts up the tree to the hives.
Five. A tree called cinnamon grows in these forests. You might be familiar with it as well as...
Although small (you can hike across it in one day), Sinharaja remains a place of biological discovery. In 2001, for example, a new species of owl was discovered--the Serendib Scops Owl. As I passed dozens of small insects along the trail and watched as moths and beetles flew to fluorescent lights, I wondered how many of these species were unknown to science, undescribed.
Other researchers were looking for more frogs, as scientists predict that 5% of the world's frog species live in Sri Lanka. Along the trail, I saw many of these frogs--in the forest litter, on trees, in pools of water.
Traveling around the park from Pali to Martin's took seven hours. I could have hiked to Martin's quicker, but the road followed switchbacks for hours through rugged terrain and couldn't easily cross the spine of Sinharaja's tall hills.
I asked Martin what his favorite animal was: "I like all of them," he replied.
"That's a good answer," I said.
Mark Ashton's research in Sinhaja is best described by the man himself:
"I foresee that upland forests in humid regions of the world, after two centuries of dramatic decline and degradation, will become critical resources for the sustenance of global services (water, climate amelioration, recreation) and products (genetic reservoirs of new products, specialty timber and non-timber products) demanded by society. My research concentrates on the ecological adaptations by which trees of various species of these complex forest types become established naturally after disturbances that make vacancies in the growing space. The kind of knowledge gained is a key part of the basis for developing silviculture [the art, practice, and science of growing forests] that will sustain and augment the various forest values of the future."
One of the highlights of my hike alone was running into a mixed flock of birds. In order to detect predators more easily or just to socialize among vocal forest species, the flocks moved through Sinharaja, turning a forest of frog calls and cicada droning into a wide array of sound, with birds flying around similar to the TIE Fighters and X-Wings battle scenes of Star Wars.
But that depends on your definition of a species and whether you're a lumper or a splitter. All of these birds are definitely unique organisms, but many have similar cousins elsewhere. Whether they are unique species or subspecies is the question. If you're a lumper, the subspecies are grouped together into one species with a wide range. If you're a splitter, each unique entity is called a separate species--the previous subspecies are then given new species names and are "upgraded," without the birds' knowledge.

In his article of Feb 12, responding to the same article as I have just done, Ryan Muldoon seems to share the notion that we need to be a little more revolutionary in our approach to interface design.
He mentioned Nautilus, a program I've been testing rather extensively. I'm also very excited about the prospect of a GUI made of many useful components accessible from a single graphical shell. It helps "get the interface out of the way" since users don't have to remember what application they need to use to accomplish a given task. And of course, as they say, sometimes the best interface is no interface at all -- which is where autonomous agents enter the picture.
Ryan also mentioned file systems and metadata. For some reason, I have this persistent vision of a filesystem built on a relational database, which perhaps works in concert with a search engine and a traditional file hierarchy (which could be integrated with the database to provide unambiguous but human-readable descriptors). You might want to ask your computer to get "that slideshow from last week for work" or to show "that e-mail from Susan yesterday about the usability testing." Interestingly, Evolution is starting to integrate some of this functionality, for e-mail at least, with the "Virtual Folders" feature. Alas, there will not likely be an NL front-end any time soon.

Please vote for police commissioners
Contrary to http://blog.einval.com/2012/11/13, I've just been and voted (four times, or 2×2 – one for me, one as a proxy) for a police and crime commissioner. I agree with much of what Steve writes and more besides. It's a very bad election. But I voted for three main reasons: Firstly, parties I don't like will get their core vote out anyway. If we don't turn put, the election becomes more about party structures, less the popular wish. Secondly, democracy is imperfect, but it's the best we've got. I've interacted with two appointed police authorities and they're rubbish and they're untouchable/unaccountable. Thirdly, I expect policing to be a hot topic here if the government do actually try to build the incinerator that 65,000 people/90+% voted against. Best try to get a non-gov commissioner now, I think. So that's why I've voted and encouraged other members of our co-op to vote.

New Jersey struggles in the storm's aftermath
New Jersey is a mess.
Dealerships where I live in northwest New Jersey were all closed yesterday, mainly because the power hasn't been restored. Lines for gas are miles long. Some stations will only fill containers people carry to the pumps.
It's hard to imagine anyone will be out shopping for a vehicle any time soon. Hundreds of us from my city -- and we weren't hit as hard as South Jersey and parts of New York on the water -- are in a middle school using the charging stations and getting warm.
We are waiting for power and the heat and hot water that comes with it, just like many of those who work for New Jersey's 515 new vehicle dealerships and the Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volvo and Subaru employees affected by the hurricane. Those four companies all have their U.S. headquarters here in New Jersey.
It wasn't clear today how many of the state's dealerships have reopened.
Jim Appleton, president of the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers, said more than 400 new and used car dealerships were affected by the storm. He estimated two or three dozen dealerships had property damage or were located in inaccessible areas. The worst damage took place in the Meadowlands area, he said.
Eventually, the hundreds of thousands of people whose cars and homes that have been under water will need replacement vehicles. And dealerships will rebuild.
But the lost sales and wages and the millions of dollars that will have to be spent to rebuild dealerships will be staggering. New Orleans did it. I am sure New Jersey can too.

disabling the caches in Linux
Sometimes you'd like to disable the file (and other caches) in Linux for performance testing reasons. Well, now you can. Simply:
To drop pagecache only, enter: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
2 is dentries and inodes only, and 3 is pagecache, dentries, and inodes. You can easily whip together a little script to drop caches regularly enough to simulate running with no caches.
(This information is also under "drop_caches" in linux/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt.)

Hopfield awarded Dirac Medal
Posted August 10, 2001; 04:41 p.m.
John Hopfield, who applies techniques of physics and mathematics to the study of the brain, has been awarded the 2001 Dirac Medal.
The medal is awarded annually to "an individual who has made significant contributions to theoretical physics and mathematics," according to the citation from the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics. The center, located in Trieste, Italy, established the award in 1985 in honor of the English physicist Paul Dirac. Medalists receive a $5,000 prize.
Hopfield, a professor in the Princeton's Department of Molecular Biology, is developing a theoretical understanding of how the neural circuits of the brain perform complex calculations. He investigates the way in which nerve cells work together to process sensory perceptions such as the recognition of odors. The Hopfield model of neural processing, which provides insight into the differences between computation in computers and the brain, has become widely referenced in the field.
The prize citation also recognizes significant contributions Hopfield made in the field of condensed matter physics before shifting his focus to biology. In 1969, as a professor in the University's physics department, he received the Buckley Prize for his research into light-emitting diodes.

About the location
Seahouses 1.5 miles; Bamburgh 5 miles.
This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland's Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.

By The Associated Press
CHICAGO – On a night when a historic chapter for Mississippi State basketball was celebrated, the current crop of Bulldogs continued to struggle.
Devon Turk scored a career-high 21 points as Loyola of Chicago beat Mississippi State 59-51 on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs (3-6) are winless in all six games away from home this season.
Saturday's game marked the first meeting between the teams since they played a historic game in the 1963 NCAA tournament that helped change race relations on the basketball court.
The all-white Bulldogs had to sneak out of Mississippi to avoid an injunction in order to play Loyola, which had four African-American starters, in the NCAA Regional in East Lansing, Mich.
Mississippi State took an early 6-0 lead and held a 17-14 advantage before Loyola (7-3) went on a 20-3 run to take control at halftime, 34-20.
"In every game, we have a situation where we don't score," MSU head coach Rick Ray said. "Our guys are young and inexperienced; they don't know how to grind through that. We are doing some things well defensively. However, we don't know what we need to do to grind through those offensive problems."
Christian Thomas added 16 points for the Ramblers, who've won five of their last six games and have already equaled their win total from last season.
Fred Thomas had 14 points for Mississippi State and Roquez Johnson added 13 for MSU, which shot just 37.5 percent.
The Bulldogs closed within 11 in the early stages of the second half but could not close within single digits until Tyson Cunningham hit a 3-point basket in the closing seconds.
The Bulldogs had a season-high eight blocked shots, including five from Gavin Ware.
MSU returns to action at Saturday for a neutral site contest with Central Arkansas. Game time is set for 2 p.m. at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.

Arnold Hagen
Arnold L. Hagen, 91, of La Farge and formerly of Viroqua died Thursday, January 24, 2013 at Vernon Manor Nursing Home in Viroqua. He was born July 18, 1921 the son of Arnt & Signa (Hemstead) Hagen and grew up in Indian Creek. Arnold attended elementary school in Rockton and graduated in 1940 from La Farge High School. On June 2, 1946 he married Inez Hagen from Bloomingdale. They moved to the Haggerty farm in Star Valley, north of La Farge, in March of 1951 and in 1968 they sold the farm to the Corp. of Engineers for the LaFarge Dam Project. They then moved to Viroqua where Arnold did carpenter work for twenty years. The last house he worked on is where they have lived for the last 22 years, just three miles east of La Farge. He spent many hours in his shop either building furniture or restoring old farm tractors. He became interested in flying and obtained his pilot's license and later bought his own airplane.
Arnold is survived by his wife, Inez of La Farge; sons: Gary of La Farge, Kevin (Linda) of Sun Prairie; two grandsons: Nick and Tim of Sun Prairie; one great-granddaughter, Natalie of Sun Prairie; two sisters: Doris Helgren of Norwalk and Norma Onsager of Valders.
He was preceded in death by his parents; four sisters: Marion, Lenore, Alverda and Thelma.
Blessed be our memory of Arnold L. Hagen.
Memorial services will be held in the spring at the Sandhill Bethany Lutheran Church in rural La Farge.
The Vosseteig-Larson Funeral Home of Viroqua is serving the family.

The Hyde Receives $10,000 Grant for Alzheimer's Program
The Hyde Collection announces it has received a $10,000 grant to fund the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust Memories in the Making® 2014 Alzheimer's Outreach Program.
Memories in the Making® is a program developed by the Alzheimer's Association of Orange County, CA, and is being implemented at facilities around the country as an impactful approach to enhancing quality of life for Alzheimer's sufferers. June Leary, curator of education at The Hyde Collection, attended facilitator training for this program in August 2012 at the Alzheimer's Association NENY.
The goal of the program is to facilitate communication, a skill often lost early in the progression of the disease. Inability to communicate causes those with memory disorders to withdraw or act out in frustration. The act of painting stimulates the imagination and creativity, and has been proven to have a calming effect that enables the individual to access and discuss memories.
"We are so thankful to again receive this important support," says Hyde director Charles A.Guerin. "It enables us to reach out to this segment of our visitors and offers creative options for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. This is a stellar example of how the arts can better the lives of the population as well as an opportunity for us to give back to our community."
Participants and their caregivers meet in the art studio at the Museum or in their activity room at residential facilities. The rooms are set with a watercolor painting set at each seat, and conversation is inspired by looking at photographs and artwork. The participants are encouraged to paint and the paintings begin to tell a story. All paintings are shared at the end of an hour long session, and notes are kept to document the stories told.
The program is open to families who are care giving at home and to residential facilities. Memories in the Making® is most beneficial to the patient as a weekly or bi-weekly activity and is available on site at the museum or off site at residential facilities, adult day care sites, and community centers. Families or groups may schedule a program by request.
For more information about Memories in the Making® please contact June Leary, curator of education, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 518-792-1761, ext. 327.

I know LOTS of dogs that are model citizens in the home, in the hotel or even in training but when the day for the event comes, they are jumping out of their skin.
If your dog scoots on the line at an event (or any behavior that in training you would not reward), have you heeled them off the line and said "Thanks for your time judges I am not going to run my dog."
How have you handled this situation where the dog has to contain ITSELF and not be restrained physically or verbally by you?

Merger and acquisition activity in consumer finance has increased due to regulatory scrutiny, higher capital costs, uncertainty over government sponsored entity (GSE) reform, and general market changes. Consumer finance companies should assess their integration plans while keeping the associated risks and opportunities top of mind.
Mergers and integrations in consumer finance companies
In late 2011 and into 2012, merger and acquisition (M&A) activity began to increase in the consumer finance industry due to several factors including:
The impact overall to changes in the market has resulted in several prominent firms exiting the industry with others currently pondering their future. With uncertainty and risk often comes opportunity and several players have used this period to acquire operations of companies exiting the business or to pursue growth through M&A activity.
This point-of-view will help companies to assess their integration plans and can help to provide leading practices and a framework to help prevent common pitfalls.

Alternate name: Northern Caracara
Family: Falconidae, Falcons view all from this family
Description ADULT Has dark crown and red cere (changes color quickly) that contrast with otherwise whitish neck and barred white breast. Back, underparts, and wings are dark brown except for barred pale base to primaries and barred, pale tail with a dark terminal band. Wings look nearly square-tipped in flight. Legs are yellow. JUVENILE Similar, but has pale spots on back and wings; leg and cere colors are duller.
Dimensions Length: 20-22" (51-56 cm); Wngspn: 4' (1.2 m)
Endangered Status The Audubon's Crested Caracara, a subspecies of the Crested Caracara, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in Florida. These birds need large, open-country territories, and the conversion of habitat to citrus orchards and tree plantations and the loss of habitat to residential and commercial development has caused their numbers to drop. Caracaras are slow reproducers and have not been able to rebound quickly. Increasing numbers have been killed by automobiles as traffic in Florida reaches an all-time high. Nearly all of the known Audubon's Crested Caracaras live on private lands, which do not come under federal protection. The only hope for the subspecies is the mainenance of its remaining habitat.
Habitat Common in Neotropics, resident in southern Texas and southern Florida; favors arid, open country.
Observation Tips Fairly easy to see in southern Texas.
Range Florida, Texas, Southeast, Southwest
Voice Mostly silent.
Discussion Large and unmistakable raptor with long legs, neck, wings, and tail, and large, flat-crowned head with a massive eagle-like bill. Sits on fence posts and soars with ease. Sexes are similar.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
ROFL, Todd I could not find that one in my American Heritage Unabridged
|Every good 2-hand Skagit head caster I know casts with 3"-8" of running line out the rod tip unless he is making very short casts that are less than the Skagit head's length. In other words, you want a little running line out the rod tip, but not enough to make the line feel "squirrelly" when cast to maximize casting efficiency.
I use the Airflow 40+ lines a lot and sometimes a Teeny Fast sink. Both these are integrated shooting heads. I find I get the best distance with about 4-5 ' of running line outside the tip. But, I have the best accuracy with 2-3 ft out. For loop to loop heads, I try to get the head outside the tip-top fairly gently; here I like ideally 1' of running line out to avoid hingeyness.
|Sean Juan
Shooting head set up
Just an observation/question since my observations are generally wrong.
When casting a shooting head - intergrated or not. I have observed that the best casts occur when the full length of the head is outside the tip with very minimal overhang.
However -
It is far easier to generate power when some (3-5') of the head is inside the tip. It is almost as though the stouter line transfers the energy to the rest of the head better.
Is this true? Or is it just an illusion because a 30' head is easier to control than a 35' head?
The reason I'm asking is because I want to try a new line for my two-hander. I am going to buy a 750gr Skagit line and there are a few ways I can set it up.
First just buy the full line and use it as is.
Buy just the Skagit head and loop it to my perfered running line the Airflo ridge line (I like Rio Lines - but the Outbound for instance has a running line that sucks ass so I generally hack the line and loop it to the Airflo ridge line...its like putting D'angelos subs into Subway breads the best of both worlds.)
Or I have a 11/12/13 Windcutter that I don't use. I figure I could cut it with 6-7' of belly, and loop the head (or just braid marry it.) Now when I cast I'd have the full mass of the Skagit head outside the tip, plus 6 or so feet of belly inside to help power the cast - assuming that actually does help power it.
Any thoughts?

The DeKalb-Sycamore boys swim co-op stayed undefeated in dual meets with a 124-46 win over Woodstock at home on Wednesday.
"The majority of that was because of our depth," coach Leah Eames said. "They definitely had some top-notch guys, but our guys just got in there and raced."
For the first all season, the co-op (9-0) had winners in all 11 events.
Ryan Schultz (200-yard individual medley, 100 breaststroke), Daniel Hein (50 freestyle, 100 butterfly) and Marc Dubrick (100 free, 100 backstroke) all won two events while Jacob Bjork was first in the 500 free and Dylan Powers won the 200 free.
Dubrick, Schultz, Hein and Josh Page combined to win the 200 medley relay. Dylan Powers, Holden Mackey, Ryan Lindsey and Page were first in the 200 free relay, and Hein, Powers, Bjork and Dubrick won the 400 free relay.
