Roasted Sarandeado-Style Whole Snapper
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed, divided
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds whole Thai snapper, cleaned, head and tail intact
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon tomato bouillon
- 1 teaspoon bottled hot sauce (recommended: Huichol)
- 2 limes, halved, plus additional for serving
- 1 orange
- 6 (6-inch) corn tortillas
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
Butterfly the fish by cutting almost in half horizontally and opening like a book. Carefully cut and remove the spine. Place the fish, skin-side down, on the foil. Roll up the edges of the foil to come close to the edge of the fish to prevent the juices from spilling onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the fish with the garlic powder and then with the tomato bouillon. Drizzle the fish with the hot sauce and then squeeze the limes over. Cut and squeeze the orange juice all over the fish. Then, using the flesh side of the orange, brush the fish all over to form a wet paste on top of the fish. Dot the fish with the remaining butter.
Bake the fish until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with warm tortillas to make tacos and lime wedges for squeezing over the fish.

When it comes to bottle-feeding your baby, some women may need or opt to add formula to the mix or to move to a formula-only menu. In that case, both ease and expense will vary depending on the products you choose. Premixed bottles are a breeze to use but pricey; powders are inexpensive, but mixing and measuring takes time. Concentrates and ready-to-pour cans fall somewhere between.
Whichever style you like, there are plenty of nutritionally sound options that come close to replicating nature's perfect recipe. So while no feeding formula contains the immune molecules passed in breast milk from mother to baby, many contain the same types and proportions of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals as breast milk. For example, most formula for infants now contains DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid), two types of omega-3 fatty acids that have been shown to enhance mental and visual development in infants and play an important role in brain function. Here's a look at the most common types of infant formula to choose from:
Regular iron-fortified formula. Cow's milk is a definite no-no for babies younger than 12 months because it's hard to digest and doesn't provide the complete nutrition developing infants need. But most formulas for bottle-feeding are made with cow's milk that's been modified for human babies. Proteins are altered to be easily digestible, milk sugar (or lactose) is added to more closely resemble breast milk, and vegetable oil is substituted for butterfat. (Because iron is so essential for infant growth and development, both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the majority of pediatricians recommend iron-fortified formula for most babies until at least their first birthday.)
Hydrolyzed formula. The protein content is broken down into smaller proteins, making it easier for baby to digest (which is why it's also known as predigested formula). There's a lot to consider about switching to hydrolyzed formula or even partially hydrolyzed formula (for one, it's often more pricey) so be sure to talk to your pediatrician about bottle-feeding an allergy-prone baby before you make this choice.
Soy-based formula. Originally popularized by dairy-averse vegans, soy-based formulas are made from soybeans supplemented with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. However, because soy formulas differ more from human milk than cow's milk, they aren't usually recommended as a drink-of-choice except under certain circumstances (e.g., a cow's milk allergy, though keep in mind it's common for infants with a milk allergy to also be sensitive to soy protein). The American Academy of Pediatrics maintains that soy-based formula should only be used in a handful of situations, for example in the rare instance that a baby is intolerant to galactose.
Special formula. Some babies that are bottle-feeding, such as premature infants or babies allergic to both cow's milk and soy formulas and babies with metabolic disorders such as PKU, require special formulations. These infant formula products, which aren't necessary or recommended unless your pediatrician says so, are often hypoallergenic, lactose-free, or especially easy to digest (and come with a particularly steep price tag).
Organic formula. These come from milk products that are produced without the use of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, or growth hormones, and for that reason are considered healthier. However, certain organic infant formulas are sweetened with cane sugar (sucrose), which is significantly sweeter than the sugars commonly used in formula, and which, some experts worry, could contribute to problems like tooth decay and excess weight gain. Not all organic formulas use sucrose, however, so check the labels and, if you still have questions, ask your pediatrician.
Probiotic and prebiotic formula. Some formulas for babies are now fortified with probiotics, a bacteria which is supposed to prevent diarrhea in otherwise healthy children. However probiotics should not be given to chronic or seriously ill babies, and according to AAP, the jury is still out on whether or not they are effective in treating diarrhea or preventing any other diseases. Prebiotics are also added to some formulas in order to reduce infections in healthy children, but it is still uncertain whether or not they are effective, either.
Follow-up formula. These formulas are geared toward bottle-feeding babies older than four months who are also eating solid foods. They are not a good choice for a younger baby and you should always ask your doctor before introducing them to the menu.
Now that you've read up on choosing the right formula for baby, check out these must-have feeding products.

"I didn't know how strong a woman I was until I came to UMass Lowell."
Jennifer Gonzalez believes you are what you eat.
"I have always been interested in how eating benefits the science of the human body," says the nutritional science major. "I want to help people become healthy and live longer."
But for Gonzalez, the college experience at UMass Lowell was far more than earning a degree.
"I didn't know how strong a woman I was until I came to UMass Lowell," she says. "The early months of living with strangers who then became my friends and getting lost around campus before I found my way, turned me into a more confident person."
She poured this newfound confidence into her studies. She researched how certain chemicals disrupt the endocrine system that controls metabolism in the human body, thus causing obesity. With the support of her professors, Gonzalez presented her poster at the Student Research Symposium. Watch her video:

 "I've had excellent professors who believed in me, who wanted the best for me."

One of those professors, Mindy Dopler Nelson, was Gonzalez's research adviser. "She supported me every step of the way on my project. I could look at this research poster and say 'I did this.'"

Inspiration also comes from her mother who raised her alone.

"When the school work gets tough, I call my mother and she says don't give up, this is the last mile. When I receive my diploma in May 2013, I will hand it to my mother for wanting a better life for me."

My Year in Belle France/Sierra Parker
Though Auch hasn't seen more than a dusting of white all winter, just an hour's drive south, the Pyrenees mountains are covered with the stuff. This past weekend was one of the seasonal rendezvous with my host Rotary Youth Exchange district here in France.
In other words, all the Inbounds (students currently on exchange) in my region met up for a weekend of Rotary-organized fun. Our diverse group, including students from Mexico, Austria, Taiwan, Australia, South Korea, and more, was happy to finally meet the Outbounds, or the French future exchange students from the local district who will be in our shoes next year.
This time, our trip started off with a museum on historical life and professions in the Pyrenees, followed by a tour of a medieval forge. We then headed even deeper into the mountain chain by bus, dividing into several small vans when the road became too treacherous. We finally arrived at our destination that evening: a mountain lodge in a small, snow-covered village nestled in amongst the peaks. That night, we drank vin chaud (literally "hot wine," typical of the mountain regions, though ours was sans alcohol, of course), put on a talent show in which I led a comedy skit, and took advantage of the snow for several snowball fights.
The following morning, we left for a snowshoe hike in the mountains. We blazed a trail all the way to the tree line, where we stopped for a picnic lunch. From there, we had a breathtaking view of the pine-dotted mountains, each rising up taller than the next, and converging in the valley below. We finally headed back down, as much on our derrires as on our snowshoes.
After this fantastic weekend, I had to get back into my studious mode with the arrival of the bac blanc, literally "white bac." The bac, short for baccalaurat, is the the French version of our SAT or ACT, only scarier.
The bac poses a series of essay questions on specific, predetermined notions that the students study throughout the school year, unlike the SAT/ACT, which tend to size up a person's general knowledge and intelligence.
Also unlike the SAT/ACT, the bac is often the sole factor that will determine a student's college admission; grades, jobs, extra-curricular activities, or personal essays are not requested. In fact, grades are just a way of letting students know how they're doing; the only colleges that will look at them are France's grandes coles, or top private schools.
The bac blanc is simply a practice version of the bac that allows the students to find out where they are in their preparation and what they need to work on. The real bac is much more stressful, as it is the only thing your college admission is riding on, and there are no re-dos, just the possibility of repeating your final year if you don't "get" your bac.
What surprised me about the bac blanc (and thus the real bac) was the enormous amount of memorization involved. In class, teachers write or dictate pages upon pages of notes (I've already filled one and a half notebooks from philosophy class), from which students extract the important points and commit as much to memory as possible. They then draw upon this information to answer the bac blanc's questions.
For example, one of the questions this past week depended on having memorized a complex map of Russia (city names and all) and reproducing it exactly on the exam. I'll get my results when school starts up again; for now I'm getting ready for my ski trip to the Alps. A la prochaine (until next time)!

This week, I'm honored to be leading the U.S. delegation to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Dubai to connect with inspiring entrepreneurs from around the world. From our earliest days, entrepreneurs have kept America vital and resilient. They are part of our national story and one of our great national strengths.
President Obama and Secretary Clinton have been clear that our global economic policy and our foreign policy go hand-in-hand. Economic tools advance our foreign policy, and our foreign policy can accelerate economic renewal. Stable societies are built on economic opportunity, and nothing creates opportunity like entrepreneurship.
Our focus on entrepreneurship taps into values we share with people around the world. Entrepreneurs crave space for creativity and possibility. And entrepreneurship thrives in places where what you know matters more than who you know. These aren't just economic ideals; they are political ideals that reflect universal values.
Promoting entrepreneurship plays to America's strengths. America is a place where anyone with a good idea can start a small business and see it succeed. Our entrepreneurship is admired around the world. In my travels, I get asked all the time: how do we create the next Silicon Valley in our country?
Many of the world's problems can only be solved through innovation -- innovation which can, and will, be driven by entrepreneurs from around the world. From clean energy to the supply chain needed to deliver medicines into rural Africa, these challenges need not just resources, but new ideas. Bringing innovative people together helps us bridge divides and build richer, stronger ties across borders.
For all these reasons, our diplomats are advancing entrepreneurship and engaging with entrepreneurs. But entrepreneurs should also be concerned with diplomacy. Entrepreneurs can't always go it alone. They need open, free, and fair regulatory systems and policy environments that favor risk-taking. They need an operating environment that makes it easy to start a business and get financing. They need legal certainty to increase investor confidence. And they need an understanding that failure is just part of the experience, not the end of a career.
American diplomats promote these conditions around the world every day in our work with foreign governments. We support entrepreneurship when we fight to prevent favoritism for state-owned companies, when we prevent piracy of intellectual property, and when we battle corruption. Hundreds of economic officers stationed at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world work every day to support entrepreneurs. It's what we call Economic Statecraft.
We are innovating how we conduct our diplomacy, using new tools to promote entrepreneurship around the world. We've sponsored countless delegations of entrepreneurs, technologists, and venture capitalists to connect investors with projects. We've launched business competitions that have sparked creativity, and spotlighted people who are making a difference. This is not traditional diplomacy -- and I think that's a good thing.
As Secretary Clinton has said, "Talent is universal; but unfortunately, opportunity is not." Entrepreneurship is one of our best tools to create opportunities. Consider this -- just to maintain the current rates of unemployment (which are already too high), the Middle East will need to create 50 to 100 million jobs by 2020. We can't get there without unleashing the power of entrepreneurship. That's why conferences like the Global Entrepreneurship Summit are so important -- they give us the chance to exchange ideas, build networks, and send a simple message: entrepreneurship is important and we are here to help.

Thomas, thanks for this great post on the value of entrepreneurs. As you said, many of the world's problems can be solved through the innovation that entrepreneurs throughout the world are leading. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC)helps provide entrepreneurs the tools they need to innovate and create successful businesses in their countries. For example, OPIC provided $250,000 to a Kenyan microfinance institution to help expand its mobile phone payment service. This service allows entrepreneurs access to microfinance institutions that they previously may not have gotten due to a lack of physical infrastructure. You can read more about OPIC's work in Kenya here: opic.gov/blog/opic-in-action/opic-monitoring-trip-to-kenya.

Henry in the U.S.A. writes:
Entrepreneurs depend upon sovereign governments to build the basic energy, water, communications, transportation and finance infrastructure, without which no entrepreneur can get a business off the ground. Present US policy discourages that kind of development, creating an environment where small and medium-sized entrepreneurs quickly become the prey of financial speculators and big monopolies.

rooCASE Slim-Fit (Black) Folio Case Cover Review for iPad Mini
I hope all those that bought the new iPad mini are enjoying it just as much as I am. This is my first tablet ever and I must say that it has been perfect for my needs, I am very pleased that Apple came out with this form factor. I am not here to talk about the iPad mini, rather I am going to give my thoughts on the case that I bought for it. Accessories are almost always a must when it comes to new devices, but you do not know always what to pick.
I found the rooCase Slim-Fit Folio Case Cover through Amazon.com and have been using it now for the past couple days. I must say for the price that I paid, I am very thrilled at the product I have received.
You can find the case available for purchase by following the link. rooCASE Slim-Fit (Black) Folio Case Cover for Apple iPad Mini
Now, I will say this case advertises a Sleep/Wake function, however I received an email stating the manufacturer knew it was defective and would be shipping out a new version very soon to me at no extra cost. At this point I cannot comment on that feature, but I will let you know when the new case arrives.
I love the slim factor of the case, it really adds very minimal bulk while adequately protecting the iPad. In my eyes it adds the right amount of bulk needed. One thing I will note as well is that the sleep/wake button is a *touch* hard to press, the one flap covers it every so slightly, but it is not a huge issue.
I was concerned about how well the iPad would retain in the case. I must say I was pleased to see that it was very secure in the case. I suspended it in the air over my bed, shook it around and it remained firmly in place.
The case allows you to view your iPad mini at 3 different viewing angles. I find the 2nd and 3rd angles to be the best myself.
Honestly, for as little as this case costs ($6.98 with shipping) I was not expecting a whole lot. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well made the case was and how well it does securing my iPad mini in place. It has a soft lining on the inside to protect the screen and back and all ports/buttons are easily accessible (with the minor, minor exception to the sleep/wake button).
For under $10, you are getting a solid on the go case, that even has a hand strap so you can hold on to the case. I am extremely pleased and hope you find this review helpful as you possibly pick out a case for your new Mini!

Huot, Lee, Sharbono and DeCock join Peterson on All-Area first team
Minnesota has been developing into one of the top high school hoops hotbeds in the nation in recent years. Currently, Twins Cities metro stars Tyus Jones of Apple Valley High School, Rashad Vaughn of Robbinsdale Cooper and Reid Travis of DeLaSalle are three of the top prep recruits in the nation at their positions.
Like the metro, the Marshall area has also seen an influx of basketball talent as many players have been spending extra time in the gym working on their game both during and outside of the season. The hard work has paid off for many teams as multiple area squads spent substantial portions of the 2012-13 season ranked among the top 10 in the state in their respective classes.
The Marshall Tigers had a whole host of players who could do it all – score from anywhere inside and around the 3-point arc, handle the ball on the break, create scoring opportunities for their teammates and rebound and defend at a high level. Instead of relying on one or two star players, the Tigers were a true team, and the chemistry the players have developed over the years translated into stunning success under first-year head coach Travis Carroll.
Ranked in the top 10 in Class AAA through much of the season, the Tigers advanced to the state tournament and took third place, with their only loss coming to then-unbeaten Austin in the semifinals. Marshall's quarterfinals win over Grand Rapids was the program's first state tournament victory since 1970.
A few of the area's Class A squads were also among the state's best, though they couldn't quite get past eventual state champion Southwest Minnesota Christian in the Section 3A playoffs. Led by the talented trio of Nathaniel Huot, Joey Lee and Michael Lee, Dawson-Boyd was ranked among the top 10 in the class through most of the season, advancing to the section championship for the second straight year before losing to SWC. Fellow Camden Conference squad Canby also had a strong season, using a well-balanced scoring attack on its way to a 19-7 season.
But the kings of the Camden Conference were the Knights of Russell-Tyler-Ruthton, who were ranked fifth in Class A for a large portion of the season. With do-it-all junior point guard Brett Peterson, the 2013 Independent Player of the Year, orchestrating an offense that had multiple scoring threats, the Knights rolled to a perfect record in conference play and defeated Dawson-Boyd twice. The only team to beat the Knights during their 27-2 season was SWC, once in an 80-78 overtime thriller on Jan. 5 and (19 straight RTR wins later) the second time in the Section 3A-South championship.
Peterson has been getting scholarship offers from multiple Division II programs, and for good reason. He averaged nearly 20 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, 4.8 assists per game and was one of the state's leaders in steals. And he still has a year left of high school ball.
– A fearless slasher to the rim, Red Rock Central's Jeff DeCock got the most out of his ultra-athletic 6-foot-2 frame during a standout senior season for the Falcons. He used his quickness to attack seams in the defense and get to the hoop, then was able to hang in the air over defenders to finish with acrobatic baskets. DeCock ended the year averaging 22 points per game, the second-best scoring average in the area. His 1,376 career points puts him second on RRC's all-time list. With 226 free throw attempts, he got to the foul line 71 times more than the area player with the next-highest total. Once there he shot 70.8 percent.
Not only was DeCock one of the area's best scorers, but he was also a top distributor. He finished first in the area in total assists with 146, many of which came while he drove through the lane to draw in the defense and kicked out a pass to an open teammate. DeCock also had 52 steals this season and averaged 6.7 rebounds per game.
– The area's best sharp-shooter from long distance, Dawson-Boyd's Nathaniel Huot made opponents pay dearly for leaving him open on the perimeter. The senior guard drilled 101 3-point field goals during the season, 25 more than the player with the next-best total. Sometimes it didn't matter if defenders got out to the 3-point line to guard him, as he frequently hit from well behind the arc.
Huot, who was selected as Independent Player of the Year last season, finished the 2012-13 season with 499 points in 28 games, scoring at a clip of 17.8 points per game. He also averaged 4.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game while earning All-Camden Conference honors. Huot was selected as one of the state's 40 best seniors and will compete in the Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Basketball Series this weekend.
– One of the area's best all-around guards, Dawson-Boyd junior Joey Lee lands back on the All-Area first team after stuffing the stat sheet once again. Lee led the Blackjacks in scoring at 18.1 points per game, which ranked fourth in the area. Attacking the basket, hitting mid-range jumpers or striking from long distance, Lee could score in just about every way. He finished with 38 3-pointers and shot 51 percent from the field.
Lee was also among the area leaders in multiple other categories. The 6-1 guard was 11th in the area in rebounding at 6.3 boards per game, he ranked third in the area with 143 assists and he was second in the area with 81 steals.
– Having seen little action during his sophomore season, Riley Sharbono stepped to the stage as a junior and provided a huge lift for the Marshall Tigers during their run to the state tournament. The 6-foot-2 guard used his high basketball IQ to exploit opposing defenses and as a result led the Tigers in scoring at 13.7 points per game. He also shot a team-best 55 percent from the field. An aggressive slasher to the basket, Sharbono got to the foul line with great frequency. He connected on 83.2 percent of his 125 free throw attempts, the second-best percentage in the area.
Despite being a guard, Sharbono was a strong rebounder and averaged 4.3 boards per game. He had 50 offensive rebounds for the season, the second-best total on the team. Sharbono also finished with 41 assists and 34 steals. He earned All-Tournament team honors for his role in helping Marshall to its third-place finish, leading the Tigers in scoring in two of their three games.
– Versatile 6-5 forward Dylan Kor developed a well-rounded game during his career at Russell-Tyler-Ruthton and put it on display during his senior season. Able to score around the basket with low-post moves, Kor could also step back and consistently knock down mid-range jumpers. He shot 67.9 percent from the field for the season and averaged 15.0 points per game, ranking 10th in the area.
Kor was also one of the best-passing post players in the area, finishing 10th in area in total assists with 91. He ended the year seventh in the area in rebounding at 7.9 per game and also blocked 36 shots, the fourth-highest total in the area.
– Playing with two of the top guards in the area, Dawson-Boyd's Michael Lee provided the Blackjacks with a presence inside during their run to the section championship game. Using his 6-4 frame to his advantage, the sophomore forward averaged 17.1 points per game and shot 47 percent from the field. When he had a size advantage in the post he could score down low, or he could draw out the defense and hit shots from beyond the 3-point arc. He finished with 24 3-pointers during the season.
Even as a forward, Lee possessed strong ball-handling skills and had 59 total assists. He finished fifth in the area in rebounding at 9.4 per game. He also blocked 47 shots, the third-best total in the area, and used his length to come up with 42 steals.
– Center Henry Rogotzke gave Red Rock Central a multi-tooled big man who nicely complemented athletic guard Jeff DeCock. The 6-5 senior averaged a double-double with 16.9 points and 10.7 rebounds per game while helping lead the Falcons to a 16-10 overall record and a tie for third-place in the Red Rock Conference behind state qualifiers Southwest Minnesota Christian and Mountain Lake Area.
Double and triple teamed in many games, Rogotzke learned to handle the ball well and find open teammates. He ranked 11th in the area in total assists with 88. Rogotzke was also a strong low-post defender, finishing second in the area with 63 blocks while also averaging just under two steals per game.
– Seeming to step up his game whenever Marshall faced a highly-touted team, guard Austin Saugstad provided a reliable on-court leader for the Tigers as a senior. Against then-third-ranked Blake, Saugstad had a 26-point, 11-rebound performance in a 68-58 upset victory on Feb. 2 that helped vault the Tigers up the rankings. He also had 17 points, going 10-for-13 from the foul line, to help Marshall clinch the Class AAA third-place trophy in a win over St. Paul Johnson. Saugstad finished the year averaging 11.5 points per game while shooting at a 52 percent clip from the field.
Saugstad also ranked ninth in the area in assists with 97, and gave the Tigers a boost on the boards averaging 4.6 rebounds per game. An in-your-face perimeter defender, Saugstad finished fifth in the area in steals with 66 and earned All-Southwest Conference honors.
– A catalyst for the Canby Lancers as they nearly doubled their win total from a season ago, junior Michael Slaba was a key cog in his team's turnaround season. The athletic 6-foot guard with a quick first step led the well-balanced Lancers scoring attack with 12.7 points per game and shot 52 percent from the field. He was one of three players on the team to hit 30-plus 3-pointers on the season, knocking down 36 of them. Slaba was also a reliable free throw shooter and hit 71.7 percent of his 92 attempts.
An All-Camden Conference selection, Slaba was both a strong perimeter defender and a great distributor. He finished tied for sixth in the area in steals with 61 and was fifth in the area with 132 assists.

past the clicker)
Rick Stonebraker
written for the Archery Focus Magazine Sept/Oct 1997
and The Glade Magazine Autumn 2000
Imagine yourself standing still,
concentrating on the ten in front of you. Your grip is correct, your holding arm
is firm and you go over the release process in your mind. When ready, you
execute your moves: One, two,
three, four steps and you release the bowling ball down the alley. Your release
hand forms a slow arc towards the ceiling and the ball rolls down the alley to
the TEN - hopefully a strike. Wrong
subject? Maybe! But the procedure is the same: you do not stop the hand
immediately after releasing the ball, it has a follow-through and if it is
smooth and consistent, the ball should roll where you want it to.
The same applies to releasing the
arrow. What happens after a shot
can directly involve what happens during a shot.
When does the shot end? Certainly not when the clicker goes off or when
you release the arrow, regardless of whether you use fingers or a release.
If your whole world revolves around the clicker or the release, then you
tend to program yourself to this critical point.
Think beyond that point and you will have fewer problems.
The clicker was originally
designed as a draw-check indicator. Its
fundamental purpose was to ensure that the archer drew the bow the same length
every time. Drawing less than intended will give less poundage which will result
in low arrows. It may also change your line of sight which could make the arrow
go left or right, depending on the situation.
On the other side, drawing more than intended would cause more poundage
which will cause the arrows to go high and right/left due to inconsistent string
Through the years, the function
of the clicker has evolved from a draw-check indicator to a timing device. The
draw-check merely let the archer know when they drew the arrow to the full
length. They then held that draw,
aimed at the target and released the arrow. As a timing device, we tend to draw,
aim, then when the clicker goes off, release the arrow. We have moved from mentally releasing the arrow to letting a
tiny piece of metal dictate when to let go. Which is all well and good but we
have to go beyond that point.
As mentioned before, archers tend
to use this "clicking" as the trigger mechanism to release the arrow
and it is possible this is the "critical point."
'When the clicker goes off, release the arrow and that is the end of the
shot.' Archers get programmed on this aspect and this needs to be changed.
If the shot is extended past the "clicker" then the critical
point is minimized to the point that there is no critical point.
The shot then turns into a nice smooth sequence of events with no
relative beginning or ending.
A proper follow-through can cure
any of the three big problems when shooting: dropping the bow arm, peeking, an
explosive release, or a combination of the three.
Dropping Bow Arm.
Many archers tend to drop their bow arm after release. Whether the bow is
too heavy (mass weight) or they just don't hold it up, the bow drops like a
stone. Obviously, a dropped bow arm leads to low arrows and is a valid reason to
work on a good follow-through.
Peeking. One of the most common causes of left/right arrows. The
archer's being in a hurry to 'watch' the arrow in flight. Instead of keeping the
head straight, archers will look away from the string to see what is happening.
This is an inconsistency that a correct follow-through can cure.
Explosive release.
When an archer shoots so violently that the release hand snaps back
suddenly and the bow arm flies in a wild arc, they have little chance of a
smooth follow-through. They are
like a tightly wound spring or rubber band.
There is no smooth transition from aiming to the end of the shot. It just
explodes and it is over. There are several archers who shoot quite well with
this method so I won't say that it can't work.
But for most archers, finishing the shot smoothly works best.
When is the shot finished?
I try to envision that point at which the arrow reaches the target.
When I release the arrow, I keep looking at the target (without peeking)
until the arrow reaches its goal. I
also try to keep my sight on the target after I shoot the arrow, even if it is
only for a split second. When I extend my shot to the target, then I am less
likely to place all the value on the clicker or release.
Where is your sight after you
release? I would be willing to
wager that very few people know what they are aiming at AFTER the release.
To determine what you see after a shot, aim at a target and when the
clicker goes off, do not release the arrow but check to see if you are still
aiming where you intended to. You may be surprised to see that you drifted far away from
the intended point of aim.
Aiming exercise.
An exercise to help in aiming after the shot.
You may use any distance you choose but start up close, say 20 yards at
the appropriate target face. Do all the same things you do when shooting but
when the clicker goes off, do not release the arrow. Instead, look to see if the
sight is still in the center of the target. If it has moved, that means there is
movement exactly at the point of release. What happens directly after a shot has
a bearing at what happens during a shot. Practice shooting without releasing the
arrow. When you are able to aim at the center AFTER a shot, you will be much
better at aiming DURING the shot.
Drifting If you drift while shooting, which direction are you
drifting and how much do you drift? When
you get to full draw and the sight is in the gold, close your eyes and continue
your shot. Do the arrows go right or left and how much? The quicker you shoot,
the less drift that can occur. A
person who holds a long time may drift quite a bit. To eliminate or minimize the
drifting, your best bet is to learn to shoot quicker. An alternative is to
change your stance. Experiment with moving your back foot until the drifting is
Summary These are a few ideas to help with "finishing the
shot". I am sure there are many more but work on these few basic exercises.
There are no "tricks" or "shortcuts!"
Simply work on the fundamentals.
Remember, archery is fun!

So far, Zonotrichia leucophrys has not required any management. While practices as logging seem to disturb many species of birds, this practice actually has provided the white-crowned sparrow with new habitats (bare ground and grasslands for easy foraging) (Chilton et al. 1995). Cattle grazing has proven to be the only deterrent of this species' habitat requirements (Knopf et al. 1988).

Skip to comments.Baseball rule question (please don't kill me!)
Posted on 04/05/2012 1:25:54 PM PDT by Zionist Conspirator
I know the rules of baseball can be arcane and--dare I say it?--Talmudic. But I saw something in today's Braves/Mets opener that I simply don't understand. I've done a web search but come up blank.
It's the bottom of the second. Ike Davis is at bat for the Mets; first base is open. He has two strikes on him. He swings and misses at the third strike, but it barely touches the ground before being caught.
Now as I understand it, this entitled him to run for first base. But he didn't. Instead he informed the umpire that the ball had touched the ground (apparently the ump didn't see that) and, rather than being sent to first base, was given another pitch to swing at (what . . . ?). Ironically, he again struck out on a ball in the dirt and this time was thrown out at first base.
I have never seen this situation before and can't find any reference to it. Are there any baseball fan FReepers who know why this third-strike-not-caught got the batter an extra pitch rather than a chance to reach first base?
Foul tip.
If the catcher catches it before it hits the ground—it's strike three.
If it hits the ground—foul ball.
Could he have been arguing that he barely tipped it foul instead of it being a clean swing and miss? That's the only thing I can think of.
Sounds like a foul tip to me.
Only thing i can think of is the ump may have thought Davis tipped it. Sounds weird but umps get it wrong a few times a year. I'm sure someone else was watching the game. Santana looked good anyway.
You're right, had to be a foul tip that hit the ground before the catcher caught it.
Ump called a foul tip. Musta been.
Umps usually go by sound on a foul tip. Did the home plate ump make the call himself or did he ask for help from one of the other umpires?
We all know that in baseball not only do the rules have exceptions, but even the exceptions have exceptions.
I thought you were going to ask Skip's favorite question. "What's the infield fly rule?" :)
OT: my favorite Skip Carey hot mike moment was after a young girl sang the National Anthem. It was not pretty. Skip said what everyone was thinking, "My God! That was awful!"
That was Skip. :)
The first two foul balls count as strikes, after that fouls are ignored unless caught.
On a third strike if the ball gets away from the catcher the batter can try to run to first. If he beats the throw to first he is safe and the inning continues even though the batter is officially "out".
Strike 3 has to be caught by the catcher regardless if it was tipped or not. If it hits the ground the runner can run to first and the catcher will have to throw him out just as if he got a hit.
I hate referring anyone to wiki but it is explained well on this topic.
I'm with the crew that thinks a foul tip, so the HPU gave it to him. it's the only way the scenario makes sense that you have described.
How about if first base is occupied? Does the catcher still have to catch a strike for it to be an out.
Well, the official scorekeeper marks that as the batter bing on 1st base via K-e2 (Strikeout, batter reaching first on an error by the catcher).
The batter is credited on his stats with a strikeout (not an Out).
The more serious question is: what were you doing watching the Mets game?
Foul tip.
With less than 2 outs, if 1st base is occupied, the batter is out regardless if the catcher throws to first or not. The baserunner can advance at his own peril.
And let me not pass up the opportunity to say ...
Pete Rose belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame ...
And Bud Selig is a THUG.
Yes. If first base is occupied the runner can only advance if there are two outs. If only one out or no outs the batter is automatically out. I have always thought this was a weird rule. Strike out is a strike out to me.
The batter becomes a runner when —
(a) He hits a fair ball;
(b) The third strike called by the umpire is not caught, providing (1) first base is unoccupied, or (2) first base is occupied with two out;
Rule 6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate.
i agree. Let him in!!!
as a fully trained and certified little league umpire, I can say for certain, that the ump in question has the IQ of a misquitoe.... 3 strikes you're out... if you choose to swing at a ball in the dirt, that is your problem...
If he had merely done drugs, instead of gambling, he would be.
Pete Rose belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame ...
Certainly as much as Ty Cobb or Tris Speaker.
And Bud Selig is a THUG.
He's ruined baseball. I miss Bowie Kuhn!
That's the "First Place Mets" (all peace and blessings be upon them...)
Death to the Phillies! Death to the Braves!
Rooting for the Mets. And they won! By a score of one to nothing!
It was just like Carl Hubbell! Except a lot messier.
At the very least they should open a Girly-Whining Hall of Fame for him, for sure.
He could also be in the "Most Fake Memoriabilia Sold to Gullible Fans" Hall of Fame!
That's what I thought. And as I said, he finally did strike out and get put out at first on an uncaught third strike. But I thought this happened twice, with the ump merely giving him another pitch to hit the first time.
The announcers didn't act as if anything unusual had happened. I'm going to have to assume, as have many who have answered, that the first one was a foul tip.
If the third strike is not caught and the runner reaches first the pitcher gets recorded for the strike out but the team does not get to record the out. Below is an article from last season with the pitcher recording four strikeouts in an inning.
I did not see the call... if he foul tipped, the ump would have immediately signaled so.... and yes sound is an important part of that decision.. if he hesitated, then he was waiting for the ump behind the pitcher to give him a ruling... either way, this ump should not officiate another game.. home ump is the key, and decisions right or wrong have to be made immediately..what did the ump signal?
A Schwing and a miss on the third strike is a strike out if the catcher catches the pitched ball regardless if it hits the ground or not.....
Tigers beat the Bosox 3-2. Now for slaying the Yankees. Again.
It got me to thinking there was some ultra-arcane rule about uncaught-third-strikes getting batters an extra pitch to hit rather than a chance to take first base in certain situations.
yes and no... the batter can run if the ball hits the ground.. he is technically still out, but can get to and stay on first base.... most teams teach their catchers to touch the batter on strike three, regardless...... this puts the batter out no matter what
Then the pitch you are refering to was deemed by the umpire as a foul tip..no brainer really.
Yes, but the batter is entitled to try to take first base because the ball hit the ground before being caught (nevertheless, it still counts as a strikeout). But that's not what happened. Instead the batter got an extra pitch to hit which ironically ended just this way.
Pete Rose fans collectively laugh in your face.

it sounds like the catcher did not catch the first "strike three". If it is a tip, the catcher has to catch it before it hits the ground. Or catch it clean, without touching the ground.
ROFLMAO! The reason your statement is so funny is because a batter only offers advice AFTER the umpire makes his call and it never even comes close to civility..........lol!
He signaled a strikeout, but even then Davis should have run for first base. Instead Davis told the ump it had hit the ground (I assume the ump didn't catch this) and he was given another pitch to hit.
I understand the "uncaught-third-strike rule." What I don't understand is why an uncaught third strike would result in a batter being given another pitch to hit rather than merely being tagged out by the catcher to finish the out.
a foul tip is when the ball hits the bat. With 2 strikes, a foul tip is just another foul ball, unless the catcher catches it clean.
NOT on a foul tip.......It's a foul ball and all applicable rules regarding foul balls apply.......
A schwing and a miss on a third strike is an out even if it's in the dirt just as long as the catcher catches it.........but it's apparent in this case that the schwing was a foul tip.
Um . . . I know all this. But the catcher didn't clean catch it and instead of tagging the batter or the batter running for first the umpire gave him another pitch to hit.
Maybe it really was a foul tip.
If it touches the ground on a third strike regardless if it did so just a tinsey winsey wittle bit it still is a foul ball.
I do miss Skip, Pete, and Ernie. They were like family.
I don't remember hearing Milo, but, I remember him being a Braves announcer.
My favorite baseball story was told by Ernie Johnston.
He was pitching in a world series game to Mickey Mantle and threw his best pitch. Mantle hit a foul tip and Ernie swore that he smelled smoke! I believe him. Ernie wasn't a bad pitcher at all.
Or straight back to the old French games of la soule, thèque, la balle au bâton, and la balle empoisonnée. Maybe you will find the real thing there.
Rukle 1-the umpire is always right
Rule 2-if you think the umpire is wrong, see rule 1.

New FDA rules help consumers decode sunscreen labels.
The FDA�s highly anticipated new sunscreen labeling rules went into effect for all products this spring, making it easier for consumers to figure out what their sunscreen actually has to offer. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and has no maximum in the U.S.�unlike Europe, whose products must be SPF 50 or below. The FDA says there is no evidence sunscreen with an SPF higher than 50 offers any additional protection, even though products claim to be SPF 80 or 90. UVA rays are believed to cause premature aging and UVB causes redness associated with burns. A sunscreen that doesn't protect against both UVA and UVB can�t claim it has broad spectrum protection, or claim to prevent skin cancer and premature aging, according to the new labeling rules. Sunscreens not meeting an SPF of 15 or higher for both UVA and UVB must carry the warning �Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert:�Spending time in the sun increases your risk of sun cancer and early skin aging. This product has been shown only to prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.� Labels also can�t claim the product is �waterproof� or �sweatproof,� which can mislead consumers into thinking they don�t have to reapply. Instead they can promote it as being �resistant,� and they must use the word �sunscreen� instead of �sunblock.� Additionally, manufacturers must specify the amount of time after which the sunscreen should be reapplied. Hate wearing Sunscreen?�The No-Excuses Guide to New Sun Protection�Products gives you a solution to all your sunscreen problems. Brought to you by: Spry Living

Blood center to hold pair of collection drives this weekend
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - It's the time of the year when people usually are the most giving, but at the Miller-Keystone Blood Center in Bethlehem, blood donors stop walking through the door around the holidays.
"Over the holidays, we don't get as many donors because people are off of work. They're on vacation, or they're busy doing other things," explained Angelina Gneiting, assistant director of donor collections for Miller-Keystone.
You can help change that and save someone's life. Every visit, you can provide the center with whole red blood, plasma or platelets.
"We need blood every day," added Gneiting. "We have to meet certain demands with hospitals and patients."
Only about two days worth of blood products are kept on the center's shelves. In fact, Miller-Keystone needs about 450 people to donate every day just to keep the local hospital supply filled.
Besides the drop around Thanksgiving and Christmas, the center struggles with recruiting younger people to give blood. Many of its dedicated donors are older and are starting to need the donations for themselves.
"I've recently found out how important it is for us to donate blood," shared Caitlin McCall.
The 27-year-old donated blood twice this year. She said the 10-minute process is easy.
"The first time I gave blood, I was very nervous," McCall said. "But it was a pleasant experience. It was very smooth. It didn't even really hurt and it didn't take long."
69 News is teaming up with Miller-Keystone this Saturday, Nov. 9 for a blood drive at the Bethlehem location and at the Bern Township center in Berks County. If you want to come out, we will be there between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

I bought a Lyric microphone system about 3 months ago and had absolutely terrible issues with it randomly cutting out. After some work with the support team we determined that is was a faulty system and I was sent a brand new one. I had the new one installed into my Martin D-28 this last week and I'm still having issues with it. When it is initially plugged in it sounds absolutely wonderful. The problem is that when it sits for too long a quiet, high pitched squeal will start to occur and it will increase in volume exponentially until it makes your ears bleed. At first I thought it was because I was standing directly in front of a monitor which was playing 7 guitars through it. However, later in the week I was at a smaller venue where it was just me, a piano, and two vocalists. It preformed flawlessly through practice but just to be safe I turned the guitar off at the board after practice. When I turned my guitar back on for the performance it immediately squealed and I ended up having to use a mic in front of it for the rest of the set. I absolutely love the way that the Lyric sounds but I need it to have my complete trust and confidence that it won't be so finicky.
Thank you for your help

Mobile phones are increasingly the key connection for the modern world. This means that the performance of mobile phones, and their networks, is going to become more critical for all the apps and businesses that rely on them. New technologies such as VR, AR, and AV will need better, more reliable connections to really move into the mainstream. In this thematic piece we attempt to identify some of the most important issues facing mobile phone networks and their users, and start to identify solutions and enablers that will solve these problems and create value by doing so.

N+1 Singer - Northern lights - Shining prospects for 2017
16 Jan 17
As the birthplace of Stephenson, Armstrong and Swan, the North East of England has a proud history of industrial and technological innovation. Despite local economic challenges, the region's industrial heritage lives on through continuing success in high end engineering and technology. The recent takeovers of private equity backed SMD (subsea robotics) and Nomad Digital (wi-fi on the railways) are testament to this. The North East has also emerged as a leader in genetics and genomics with an enviable life sciences and healthcare infrastructure. Against this backdrop, we expect the region to continue to throw up attractive IPO candidates to build on the six new listings in the past three years. We expect 2017 to be far kinder to the existing portfolio of North East plcs than 2016 (a year to forget) with recent management changes one important theme for the new year. Our top picks are Hargreaves Services, Quantum Pharma and Zytronic (all N+1 Singer Corporate clients) and we are Buyers of Northgate and Grainger.

What a year it was!
16 Jan 17
2016 got off to a rocky start. Not long into January, after just a few trading days, global equity markets lost more than US$4tn of value due to investor sentiment towards China's economic slowdown and depreciating currency. This was immediately followed by a slump in the oil price. By the third week of January, Brent Crude hit its year low at $27.10 a barrel causing an immediate sell off in the energy sector. Once the Q1 dust had settled, attention turned to the UK's vote on whether to remain a member of the EU. The Brexit vote result proved to be a genuine shock for markets, with many investors having believed that the UK would stay within the European Union. Attention soon turned to the equally ill-tempered US Presidential elections and all the political and economic unknowns that Trump's victory has spawned. As a result, AIM, has seen a roller-coaster of a year in 2016.

SO I want a user to be able to generate a code, like a 6 char alpha numeric code. That should be pretty simple. But I want that code to to relate to a band. So the user has a code that relates to a band. I am newer to rails so am not sure on the best structure for this.
I will be using rails 3.
thanks so much in advance

Omg I just cried my eyes out!!ReplyDelete
Right there with you girl!!! I don't know how we will be able to watch it in the cinema without looking silly!! lolReplyDelete
I'm bringing lots of tissuesDelete
Can not wait this is going to be the best one yet.ReplyDelete
I can not wait for this movie. This will be the best one yet.ReplyDelete
I got all teary eyed too this is so sad no more amazing love storyReplyDelete
Crap. This movie is going to kill me. But what a way to go.... TEARS ALREADY!ReplyDelete
nekked E/B! Give it to me lolReplyDelete
Ooh, its so wonderful they are back on! I will take in every scene, and be grateful for the fantastic ride it's been. All because we read a small YA novel called, Twilight.ReplyDelete
Yes, if it weren't for Stephanie's Twilight and Catherine's search for the perfect Edward these two might not have ever met and fell in love for real. I resisted reading Twilight for quite awhile because I thought it was a 'Teen Novel'... But working in the bookselling world I was left wondering what all the hype was about. I rented the film and was so mesmerized by the characters that I decided to read the series, which I unexpectedly fell in love with. Rob and Kristen fell in love with each other, not with the characters that they play... But I think that Kristen loves 'Edward' as much as we do... :0)Delete
this is my first time comment here,but always visit the website and i love so much robsten the video is just beutiful.ReplyDelete
I think it's starting to hit me now that it's coming to an end!! I think I love twilight more cause I know that's where rob and Kristen fell in love!! It's amazing to me that such a beautiful love story brought two people together like that!! I to at first thought it was a tern flick and one day my cousin made me wAtch it and automatically fell in love with Edward. I had to read the books and got hooked and after that I saw the conection between rob and Kristen wondering if they were dating in real life, I become obsessed with these two unique and mysterious love!! I am gonna miss twilight so much, it's ended up being a huge part of my life!!ReplyDelete
i feel the exact same way!!!Delete
God, it's so touching!! Love the scenes and the song!~ReplyDelete
I agree its so romantic and touching I'm almost hyperventilating at the thought of it all ending I'm not sure ican deal with it . I love it so muchDelete
I am grateful to my niece for making me go to see twilight with her. I'd never heard of the books or read them. As soon as the cafe dinner scene hit it was like wham! These two were intense with one another as a viewer you felt the sexual heat. Then when they kissed in bellas room. It was like whoa you felt everything they were feeling in that scene. I'd seen some of Kristen's other movies. But Robert just made u fall in love. I will miss the deep chemistry these two bring. I look forward to the day they work together again. Till then I will wear out my dvds LOLReplyDelete
Totally agree... I was so caught up in their 'on screen' chemistry that I began to wonder if they had fallen for each other in real life, which they had. It was so evident when they were doing the promo for the first film that there was something palpable between them, it wasn't just 'PR'... Hey, just a suggestion - I wish that all of the 'Anonymous' posters would pick a 'name' from the drop down menu so we could form a 'community'... Too many 'anonymous' posters, LOL!Delete
I agree. Everyone its really easy to use a regular name. Just click on the drop menu "reply as", select "name/url" and type in any name you want to use regularly, click continue. You don't have to put in a URL, just a simple name/username. After a couple times your computer, depending on your internet settings, will remember that name when you go to type it in.
It would wonderful to recognize everyone's comments on here and have a little community.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!! ME TOO. I LOVE THE DAY MY CHILREN INTRODUCED ME TO TWILIGHT, I AM A 44YR. OLD TWILIGHT MOM, TO MY HEART. LOVE ME SOME ROB & KRISTEN/EDWARD & BELLA. CAN'T WAIT EITHER. HOPE THEY MAKE OTHER MOVIES TOGETHER. I'VE SEEN NO OTHER CHEMISTRY IN CINEMA'S TODAY LIKE ROB & KRISTEN'S, THEY R SOULMATES, AND I BELIEVE NOW THEY KNOW IT, LIKE WE FANS DO.Delete
I love this soooo damn much teary eyesReplyDelete
The way they kiss is so sweet and full of passion.I cannot wait any longer to see this movie.Robert and kristen is perfectly cast as Edward and bella but I love kristen and rob as real life couple their amazing.ReplyDelete
Totally agree. I really hope that their love lasts a lifetime because they are so special together.Lets hope they marry and have lots of beautiful children.Delete
I agree, I love what Edward and Bella have, it's true love, nobody's ever loved anybody as much as they love each other ... well, in a movie :)
but what Rob and kristen have right now, is real, love and lust between two people are so genuine and breathtaking beautiful, even though they don't wanna show off their relationship, that's what love is all about only need two people to work it out ..
"I've never loved anybody as much as I love you" ... I think that it's true even in real life. Isn't that Kristen? hmmm :-)ReplyDelete
No doubt your'e right!!!!Delete
I think she said that, "nobody's ever loved anybody as much as I love you"
I keep coming back here to see this clip...This is so amazing, cause Twilight it's always been about the E&B love story above all...cannot belive what close are we to the end of this. I can see myself crying in the cinema and my friends (dragged by me there) wondering what's wrong with me...:)ReplyDelete
I can't, I just can't, this is what I've been waiting for since twilight!! Bella showing just how much she loves Edward!! Ow god, what am I going to do without this!! I'm crying while I write this!!!!! Twilight forever :)ReplyDelete

Oh man we have to bring ALOT of Kleenex inside the cinema!!!! Edward and Bella brings so much LOVE that lasts a lifetime and so is our gorgeous couple RK <3 I Agree with @Anon 6:16.. E/B and R/K love story is no difference <3 Kristen looks soooooooooooooooooo gorgeous and hot as Vampbella (Lucky Daddyward!)ReplyDelete
I hope they can be their forever in real life, they are soo perfect together!! awwwwwwwwwwwReplyDelete
I have been one the Anonymous for a while but I read someone asking for a name, well here I am, my name is Franny!!! hi everyoneReplyDelete
Wonderful clip...will definitely be bringing a box of tissues to the theater! I can't believe it's all coming to an end so soon. I feel like I have lived and breathed this saga for the past few years. It's become a huge part of my life and soon it will be over. Thank goodness R and K are together...it would be so much harder for me to say "goodbye " if they weren't. It's also nice to know that I'm not alone in this feeling. I've been an anonymous on here for awhile now and I just want to say Thanks to everyone here. It's been a blast!ReplyDelete
Hi Delia,it's been fun to talk about these 2 with others that feel the same, we understand that attraction!! Thanks everyone :)Delete
The Twilight series will be forever! Thanks to Stephanie for her vision... it all started in the meadow. Thanks to Rob and Kristen who brought the characters to life! And thanks to each of the directors who kept true to the books because the fans wanted it that way. This series brought so much to our lives!ReplyDelete
I just wondering is Rob and Kristen really naked in that scene??ReplyDelete
I have to agree with all of you. I am a 56 year old mom/grandma who shares my birthday with Rob. I am also a music teacher and a librarian. I started reading Twilight two years ago. I fell head over heels in love with the books and have read them so many times I've lost count. I love the movies but the love story is so amazing. It only got better when Rob and Kristen fell in love as well. Seeing these clips and knowing that there is going to be a Thousand Years Part 2 on the soundtrack (I am assuming this will be played during the end in the meadow) and I know I will need at least 2 boxes of tissue. Just can't wait to sit and cry. Will really miss all of this.ReplyDelete
iam so glad i found this site n al u guys.. iam so in luv with edward bella n rob kristen.. iam so happy to knw al u guys share my emotions about twilight n rob n kristen.. my frens n family think iam obsessing abt them for so no reason.. i tried so desperately to make them understand how special these movies n robsten are but in vain.. i felt so out of place, but now i feel like with my kinda people who hav same passion as me.. iam so happy.. i think rob n kristen r genuinely true soulmates.. hats off to them for hav been keepin their sanity amongst al the media glare.. v al will b with robsten forever.. cant wait to c them together on screen again.. i really hope they make movies together again.. love all u guys... luv u robsten:-)ReplyDelete

Completion and Refurbishment Centers
Despite the recent public flogging of owners of private jets for allegedly engaging in wretched excess, we suspect that cabin completion and refurbishment centers have yet to meet an owner who wants a cabin with Naugahyde seats, paper plates and plastic champagne glasses. In fact, the cost of outfitting or refurbishing the cabin remains second only to the purchase price on the list of expenses associated with buying a new or used business jet.
In mid-2008, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Abdul Aziz Al Saud, chairman of Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Holding Company, ordered the first A380 to be outfitted as a personal transport. The base price of an A380, before the cabin completion, is about $325 million and those familiar with the business say the cost of the interior will be "significant," which in this case means well into nine figures.
As the prince could undoubtedly attest, you can get pretty much anything you want for your cabin-assuming, of course, that the aviation authorities will approve it and you're willing to pay for it.
The following is a list of some leading manufacturer and independent completion and refurbishment centers, as well as some exterior-paint shops.

Skip to comments.Newt E-mails Rush, Stands by House, WSJ & Politico Lie About Him
Posted on 12/21/2011 11:24:21 AM PST by OneVike
Politico claims that Gingrich sides with Obama on payroll tax, but he just emailed Rush and said he stands by the Republicans in the House.
So why do conservatives ever give credibility to anything Politico writes?
politico almost always gets it wrong.
I am listening to Rush!
or Newt is spinning trying to cover it up.
It's difficult because I don't trust newt or politico.
I trust Newt more than either politico or WSJ. Newt has a lot more to loose by being wrong than Politico or WSJ, so I think Newt is being truthful. Besides I read both accounts and he never even said what they said he said.
Politico is the means of Bishop Romney's dirty tricks
against Gov. Palin, Mr. Cain, and now Mr. Gingrich.
They are his "go to flacks" for any dirt he wants thrown.
The Wall Street Journal reports quotes from Gingrich which say similar things, with a different slant. Gingrich e-mailing to say the slant is wrong is not surprising, but let's see him explain his quotes.
Newtie is under tremendous pressure to hide his true self.
Incumbent presidents have enormous advantages. And I think what Republicans ought to do is whats right for America. They ought to do it calmly and pleasantly and happily,Or are the "good quotes" real, and the "bad quotes" made up?
[the senate bill is] an absurd dereliction of duty.
Obama is so inept as a president, and the Congress is so dysfunctional as an institution, that we are lurching from failure to failure to failure,
a Senate majority leader who is totally disruptive and a president who is basically campaigner-in-chief, who has no interest in solving the problems of the American people.
Its very hard for the legislative branch to outperform the president in communications, he said. He has all the advantages of being one person. He has all the advantages of the White House as a backdrop, and my experience is presidents routinely win.
It is rare that you find a journalist actually manufacturing quotes. They are generally punished for that sort of thing. This isn't some fly-by-night paper.
But I guess we should take the candidate's e-mail word that the story is false, because why? If there is a video of the press conference, it should be easy to post it to prove that these words were not spoken.
Politico is nothing but a gossip site. Page 6 for political junkies.
My money is on them both twisting what he told them to the point of even leaving key words out eo that he looks bad.
What does WSJ & Politico have to gain? What does Newt have to gain?
Again, Newt cannot afford to be seen supporting Obama, but the WSJ and Politico would love to make him seem closer to Obama then their favorite Republican, Romney.
I agree.
Romney probably thinks that conservatives gets all their news from Peggy Noonan and David Frum.
BTW, a more interesting argument would be that the quotes are accurate, but don't mean what they sound like.
Is his "Republicans ought to do what's right for America. They ought to do it calmly and pleasantly and happily" a bad quote? Or is it a quote that actually means they should fight for their 1-year extension but be nice about it?
The problem is that 2nd thing doesn't make sense. If they are going to FIGHT against Obama and Reid, they can't do it "calmly and pleasantly and happily,". That wording only makes sense if Gingrich is telling them to give in.
Mr. Gingrich made it clear he favored a one-year extension of the two-percentage point payroll tax cut, which expires Jan. 1, not the two-month extension that passed the Senate with bipartisan support. He called the Senate bill an absurd dereliction of duty.That quote from here
Obama is so inept as a president, and the Congress is so dysfunctional as an institution, that we are lurching from failure to failure to failure, Mr. Gingrich said.
Hey Charles, regardless of ones stand on Newt, you must admit the timing of our two posts are phenomenally perfect.
It's about making up headlines. National Review just did the same thing. They don't report on what Newt actually said, they report their conclusion reached from what he said. Gingrich never said "Throw in the towel" or "Take the Senate Bill" National Review is approaching drive by media status.
Sure, Politico gets stuff wrong. But Gingrich also constantly walks stuff back.
So it's not like someone goes "wow" here when Gingrich claims he didn't say what someone else said he did.
My take exactly:
Just because Newt emails Rush to say he didn't say (or mean) what he said is not enough to explain why the WSJ quoted him saying what he says he didn't say.
Never forget: the media lies and is in the business of trying to choose the GOP candidate for their own purposes.
Except it doesn't sound like he is supporting Obama. It just sounds like he is surrendering to the political expediency.
Nothing Gingrich said suggests he thinks Obama is right, or the Senate is right. His message, if you believe the quotes, is that we can't win the battle, so the best thing for America would be to surrender this time.
It's not necessarily a bad message, from a political perspective. It is what I would expect a smart political mind to come up with. It's hardly the plain-spoken conservatism we have been fighting for. Conservatives are tired of the games, we are told.
The response here is actually very cleverly designed to avoid the real facts and issues. Note that here at FR, the pro-Gingrich forces didn't post the article and discuss it first, instead they post the e-mail Rush exchange information, to discredit the whole idea of their BEING a story, without dealing with the quotes at all.
If the quotes are false, there will be a recorded proof. I'd love to see the full transcript. But the message in the WSJ is exactly what I would predict from Gingrich given his history (he did sit on a couch with Nancy, he did AGREE with Al Gore at a "debate").
It's what smart people do — they outsmart themselves.
As I allude to, the left will do all they can to make anyone who might beat Romney look bade.
With the exception of Ron Paul, the crazy homeless guy who was taken in a ship by aliens and released just before primary season started.
Yes, and it's owned and run by Left-wingers!
My take exactly:Go back and read post #16
Just because Newt emails Rush to say he didnt say (or mean) what he said is not enough to explain why the WSJ quoted him saying what he says he didnt say.
I did.
Yes, certainly. It is only a bit annoying that I posted the Wall Street Journal article, but a few have attacked politico for their version; I hope nobody thinks I actually posted a Politico article. :-)
I posted the Newt email story tidbit from rush, and I am a Rick Santorum Supporter, so the pro-Gingrich thing does not fly with me.
I just knew the left and this is typically what they do. The will always divide and conquer, they do it every primary season.
I am amazed about the vast amount of conservatives that will always repeat what the left writes as if they could only report the truth.
No trust for the left from me, especially when talking about their propaganda machine the MSM.
WSJ quoted Newt himself extensively. There is NO WAY WSJ would misrepresent the story. They are the best reporting paper that still exists.
Lunch time, so I will respond to anything more after 1:00 when I return from lunch.
WSJ quoted Newt himself extensively. There is NO WAY WSJ would misrepresent the story. They are the best reporting paper that still exists.
The WSJ was specifically named as one of the news outlets that Biff Naylor, former chairman of the NRA, told the facts of Herman Cain and Sharon Bialek to. Rather than print his story, the WSJ elected to continue repeating lies about Cain.
If the WSJ would withhold a story and print a lie, what makes you think they won't make up quotes?
I disagree, the WSJ lies all the time. Especially now that they want Romney as our nominee.
If they come from the beltway, then question anything they write.
WSJ quoted Newt himself extensively. There is NO WAY WSJ would misrepresent the story. They are the best reporting paper that still exists.Then you don't know the WSJ. It's news sections are notoriously liberal. Only the editorial pages leans right. And even then it's Establishment right.
When I first read that Newt was for the payroll tax cuts, I thought this doesn't fit.
The stupid GOP has been handed a gold plated battle cry against Obama and the dems. But what do many of them do, they side with the enemy.
It is quite simple, the payroll tax cuts is an effort to defund SS and Medicare. Once accomplished it will force seniors into a means tested welfare program, where no matter how much you have paid into SS, you will get the same benefit as a low life who paid in almost nothing.
Once Medicare is broke, seniors will be made to go into Obamacare. (AKA Medicaid on steroids)
Politico competes with Mediate as to who can go the furthest left.
Which ones are the "bad quotes"? They all seem reasonable to me.
Their opinion pieces may be Romney shills. But, their reporting is just simply the best. No chance they misquoted Newt. Period.
I can't seem to find the quote where Newt says to "give in". Quote, unquote. So unless Newt said "give in" the WSJ IS lying.
Just because their news section leans liberal does not make their Newt's quotes false. It is impossible that they simply made up the quotes.
Newt's a bit like a buddy who sometimes buys you a beer and sometimes doesn't.
Obama is like a street thug who sometimes lets you pass by and sometimes beats the crap out of you and steals your wallet.
The choice seems clear to me.
Just wondering, are you a WWE fan?
Just because their news section leans liberal does not make their Newts quotes false. It is impossible that they simply made up the quotes.No suggestion here that the quotes aren't accurate. They just don't support the headline or the false premise.
(I cant seem to find the quote where Newt says to give in. Quote, unquote. So unless Newt said give in the WSJ IS lying.)
You are exactly right. In the article Newt said very clearly that he favored the one year extension and not the DemocRATS kicking the can down the road lousy 2 month extension.
Gingrich tells House Republicans to fold and the Newtbots go into denial mode — right on queue.
What is "impossible" is that a FReeper can be truly that naive concerning the media. What is much more possible is that you're just a Perry hack on the attack.
That's the kind of guy (or girl) I'm looking for. Someone who will call the MSM on their lies right away. Not apologize for something he didn't say.
GINGRICH and RUSH basically very smart people by nature.
MSM basically very stupid people by nature.
Nuff said.

I thought the Rishi inclusion on my shicha list might raise a few eyebrows.
I never know what Rishi will do. Often shincha arrives via the slow boat or they bypass it completely ... but they have remained strongly committed to bringing in good and fresh Japanese greens and have the harvest info listed ...
I reward these steps taken by including their teas each year, even if it is ichiban versus shin.
This year, they appear to be airshipping as they already have a 2012 shincha YM from Kagoshima. I will be talking to my contact there asap!
(The Hinshu Bai Hao was really outstanding!!!)
