I met Bob Rubin years ago, so when I needed an attorney I knew just who to call. Bob tediously worked on my case for me as if I where his one and only client. I couldn't have been happier with the results thanks to Mr. Rubin.
When my sister needed a lawyer she called Bob. When my mother needed legal advice her first call was to Bob.
Take my advice, if you need an attorney your first call should be to Bob Rubin.
And it doesn't hurt that he's a long time Pistons fan too.

If I close my eyes and listen to the world around me, I hear the zipping of nylon windbreakers. I feel my own torso marshmallowed out by sweaters over sweaters. I could easily be back in the damp New England woods of my childhood Girl Scout camping trips; the same contained anticipation hangs in the air.
The main difference is I am not 11 years old nor am I in New England. Rather, I'm standing in the Santa Fe Railyard waiting to board a rickety train that will carry me and approximately 60 other people out to the middle of nowhere so we can traipse around in the dark and stare at the stars.
"Did everyone bring their flashlights?" the troop leader—er, Rici Peterson, executive director of the Santa Fe Conservation Trust—asks.
The crowd murmurs "yes" with a few unsure responses mixed in.
"Did everyone dress warmly?"
A resounding "yes" this time.
"OK, all aboard!"
The day before riding the Star Train, I sat down to lunch with Peter Lipscomb and Robert Hoyle, two self-proclaimed "astrononerds" who spend their days talking about the skies and their nights gazing into them.
Both speak about astronomy with such excitement, anyone listening is drawn into their enthusiasm. It's this enthusiasm that has led them, especially Lipscomb, to form and become involved in the Capital City Astronomy Club.
Both became interested in the subject as kids and are passionate about instilling in children a love for the stars. Six schools in Santa Fe have approached Lipscomb with an interest in developing an astronomy program, two of which—Salazar Elementary and La Mariposa Montessori schools—have scheduled star parties.
Hoyle has been stargazing since age 11. He attended the University of Texas at Austin and originally wanted to be an astrophysicist. A faculty advisor, however, told him that he'd never make money doing that, and that
he should become an aerospace engineer instead. So he did.
"I've regretted that decision all my life," he says. "If I had it to do over again, I'd have said, 'Hell no, I'm gonna be an astrophysicist.'"
I pause for a moment. "What's the difference?" I ask.
"An astrophysicist is really far-out stuff," he says with a wry smile. "It's the origins of the universe and how stars are formed and things like that. Aerospace engineering is designing rockets and missile systems." He shrugs.
While employed at NASA, Hoyle worked on the first Apollo mission, the lunar excursion module and Apollo 13, to name a few.
"But any time I got a break in my life," he says, "I went back to my astronomy, because that's really my love."
Lately Hoyle has gotten into photographing stars, though both Hoyle and Lipscomb agree that fantastical, mind-blowing images of the cosmos can almost be a detriment to kids' interest in the stars.
Put your eye up to a telescope and you won't see huge, colorful star collisions or swirling nebulas or even, perhaps, the rings of Saturn all too clearly. A telescope usually reveals a blob of light next to some other blobs of light; if you're with people who know what they're talking about, they can help you differentiate which blob is the Andromeda galaxy and which one is just a moth resting on the lens.
It was a simple (sort of) occurrence that brought Lipscomb to the skies. When he was 8, he saw a total eclipse of the sun, and that sealed the deal. From then on, he wanted to look at the sky.
"I realized that celestial mechanics was much more than wrenches in space," Lipscomb says (and Hoyle gives a chuckle). "There's always something going on out there, and knowing and understanding that interested me."
There's always something going on out there, indeed.
As we near the Galisteo Basin Preserve on the Star Train, which is organized by the Santa Fe Conservation Trust and the Commonweal Conservancy, someone announces that there will be 10 telescopes of varying sizes, all trained on different astronomical curiosities, put out amid the cholla and the chamisa. Fervent "oohs" and "aahs" rise from the crowd.
I'm afraid that Girl Scouts hasn't prepared me well enough for the cold, so I snatch an extra blanket that the train keeps stocked in its cars, wrap it around me like a poncho and head into the night. Everyone's flashlights have little condom-like red balloons rubber-banded to the bulb so the white light doesn't ruin everybody's night vision.
Hoyle tells me that, once your eyes are adjusted to the dark, even a split second of white light can undo hours' worth of chemical work inside your eyeballs. "You flash a light, and some astronomers will throw rocks at you," he says without a hint of irony.
So we march through the chamisa, led by red lanterns, toward the circle of telescopes. It's so dark you can't see anyone's face, but you may recognize a hat or the outline of a coat or the way someone walks. I carry on a half-hour conversation with a woman, tell her all about my upbringing, my career, my ex-boyfriends and my dog and, for the life of me, I couldn't point her out today in a lit room.
As I climb a ladder to peep through the eyepiece of a massive 24-inch telescope, I see the faint glow of a moustache on the scope's proprietor. "Peter, it's me!" I tell Lipscomb. "Charlotte!"
"Oh, hi!" he says cheerily. "Glad you could make it."
I peer through the scope at a cluster of stars, splattered on the black like a sneeze on a window. I descend the ladder again and find my way to the scope trained on the Pleiades.
"The Pleiades are actually not seven sisters," the man at the telescope says. "Don't say that, it offends the other 200 or so."
I look though the scope and there they are. The eyepiece is filled with sparkling stars, crystalline and still as ice. Indeed, they look nothing like the wondrous images on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website, but something about feeling hundreds of light years closer to a star—with still hundreds of light years left to go—fills me with awe.
Sooner than I'd like, it's time to head back. Lipscomb grabs a big red lantern and a group of us follows him toward the train.
As we traipse through the brush, we see the light of the train getting further and further away.
"Um, Peter…" someone says hesitantly, and Lipscomb stops.
"I can find galaxies thousands of light years away, but I can't find my way back to the train," he says as he doubles back and leads us to the light.

All I want for Christmas is a nice rest - but I'm sure the kids will be looking out for lots of new gadgets. The trouble is being the age I am - I'm not sure what the coolest gadgets for kids are these days. And it's very easy to end up with a talking fluffy thing that just drives you mad! Last year we bought our youngest a talking, walking, robot baby. And even the kids were telling it to be quiet within a few hours.
Anyone got any recommendations for gadget toys which are good value for money, will still be in use by next Christmas and not drive us all mad!!

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has been a pain in the back for agriculture producers across the nation. However, HSUS and similar activist groups are being exposed for what they really are about by organizations interested in maintaining the livelihoods of farmers and ranchers across the U.S.
At the 25th annual World Pork Expo this past week Rick Berman, chief executive officer of Berman and Company (an organization that leads HumaneWatch) and Brian Klippenstein, executive director of Protect the Harvest, spoke during the Strategic Investment Program luncheon.
Both men shared with the crowd their experience being advocates for agriculture and other industries.
Berman started combating animal activist groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) before moving onto what he calls "the bigger problem." His group HumaneWatch has been setting the record straight on HSUS since 2010 by placing advertisements in Times Square and having commercials appear on national television.
"The animal welfare movement has now gotten mixed into the animal rights movement," stated Berman.
Berman says Wayne Pacelle, the chief executive officer of HSUS, is to be commended for his ability to get donations and ramp up support for his group, but he's been doing it in an untruthful manner.
"If he's got to spend a dollar he'd rather spend it on chickens than cats or dogs," Berman says. "But that's not what he tells the donors. He tells them their money is for cats and dogs."
Many donors to HSUS see the images of abused pets and think it's going to their local shelters to help dogs and cats. In actuality donation money is going to advertising campaigns and starting legislation that negatively affects animal agriculture, which will ultimately move the U.S. consumer in a more vegan direction.
"At the end of the day all he (Pacelle) is about is increasing the cost for agriculture," Berman relates.
Protect the Harvest, the organization Klippenstein is involved with, has been focused on the media in their campaigns and part of the strategy has been to inform, protect and respond.
Klippenstein understands the reality behind animal agriculture as he was raised on a farm in Missouri.
"Your love of animals is real," says Klippenstein. "It's good business to love the animals."
He said during his presentation that Washington, D.C., has become one the richest places in the U.S. and non-profit groups like HSUS and PETA are part of this movement.
"These non-profits have become lucrative," he says. "Never underestimate how entrepreneurial our opponents are."
He addressed the backlash from activist groups by saying, "If we don't fight, we will lose."
Klippenstein shared at the event some advice his wife Jackie told him, "We need to become as good at humanizing farmers as they (activist groups) are at humanizing animals."
This brings back around the point of agriculture producers being more actively engaged in telling their story through social media or just by having a discussion with consumers in the grocery story.
"But at the end of the day, Paul Harvey was right. You guys are it," ended Klippenstein.

About music producers
A music producer is a 'project manager' for the recording of a song or track, just like a producer in the film industry.

Music producers on Twine can help make your dream song a reality. A well-produced track can help massively grow your audience.

my second suggestion, would be to consider moving to northern California. I moved here specifically because there was such a large spiritual community and it has far surpassed my expectations. I live in Sacramento, which is 1-3 hours from Abhayagiri, Spirit Rock, IMC and more lay meditation groups/centers than you could hope to practice with in a lifetime.

This area also has urban and rural living areas that are quite moderately priced and a large enough population and economy that there are plenty of jobs. The weather here also makes it suitable to grow most of your own food easily, which allows for significant reduction in expenses.

Hawker Beechcraft filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May and is currently in exclusive negotiations with Superior Aviation Beijing, which has placed a stalking-horse bid to buy Hawker Beechcraft for $1.79 billion. However, the Wichita-based aircraft manufacturer will ultimately be sold in a public auction, meaning it is still very much up for grabs.
Cessna Aircraft parent company Textron and Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer were believed to be among the interested bidders during the closed-bid process in which Superior Aviation prevailed. But the sale of Hawker Beechcraft, which was founded in Wichita by Walter Beech in 1932, to a Chinese company doesn't sit well with many. Likewise, selling it to another general/business aviation aircraft manufacturer will just result in fewer competitors, which really isn't good for customers, the supplier base or even the overall industry.
That's why I believe that an American company that has extensive manufacturing experience, but isn't currently involved in the GA/bizav industry, should make a serious play for Hawker Beechcraft during the public auction. And who better than Ford Motor?
Here's a list of 10 reasons why I think that Ford should place a bid for Hawker Beechcraft:
1) By manufacturing airplanes, Ford would regain a piece of its history. In 1925 Henry Ford bought Stout Metal Airplane Co. and its aircraft designs. He turned a single-engine Stout design into the three-engine Ford Tri Motor, an all-metal aircraft that was built with then-advanced construction techniques. A total of 199 Ford Tri Motors were built between 1926 and 1933. Ford hasn't mass produced any civil aircraft since the Tri Motor, though it did build Consolidated B-24 Liberators under license, as well as airplane engines for the British government, during World War II.
2) Ford is an American icon. So is Hawker Beechcraft.
3) Ford can afford to buy Hawker Beechcraft and invest in new products. During the first half of this year, the automotive company posted $2.8 billion in after-tax profits. With this amount alone, it could buy Hawker Beechcraft for $1.8 billion and invest a couple of hundred million in R&D for new aircraft, and it'd still have money left over.
4) Ford CEO Alan Mulally knows airplanes and aircraft manufacturing. Before joining Ford he was the executive vice president of Boeing and the CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA). Mulally began his career with Boeing as an aircraft engineer in 1969 and rose through the ranks. In the 2000s he was credited with Boeing's resurgence against Airbus. Just imagine what he could do with Hawker Beechcraft.
5) Quality still is "job one" at Ford, even though the company no longer uses that as a marketing slogan. "Quality is part of Ford's DNA, and the Ford team is dedicated to continually finding new ways to please our customers," Bennie Fowler, Ford's group vice president of global quality and new model launch, said last year when accepting the 2010 Quality Leader of the Year Award from the American Society for Quality. Hawker Beechcraft also strives for the "highest standards of quality," but Ford could raise the bar even higher at the aircraft manufacturer.
6) Supply-chain synergies. Automotive manufacturing is a high-volume business, so Ford can buy in bulk at lower prices. General aviation aircraft manufacturing is generally a low-volume business, so Hawker Beechcraft buys in small batches and doesn't get much of a price break. Under Ford, Hawker Beechcraft could leverage Ford's supplier base to reap bigger discounts. And Ford might also be able to strike automotive supply deals with some existing Hawker Beechcraft suppliers to bring down prices of other components. It wouldn't work for everything, but there certainly are synergies and savings to be had here. For example, if Ford had a high-volume supply deal with Garmin for a built-in navigation system in its cars, it could piggyback this volume discount toward Garmin avionics systems for Hawker Beechcraft aircraft.
7) Engineering synergies. Ford has a cadre of engineers and, to a smaller extent, so does Hawker Beechcraft. Both groups can learn something from one another and even work together on some projects. Hawker Beechcraft's engineers are experts at using Catia computer-aided design software and can transfer this knowledge to Ford's engineers. Likewise, Ford engineers work on a higher volume of projects, so they have a broader experience base that they can share with Hawker Beechcraft's engineers. An automotive engineer could bring a lot to the table when it comes to aircraft design, and vice versa.
8) Ford could once again revolutionize aircraft manufacturing. Using its vast expertise in manufacturing workflows, automation and management, Ford could bring Hawker Beechcraft's manufacturing plants into the 21st century. Every time I've visited Hawker Beechcraft's metal aircraft and wing manufacturing lines, I feel like I'm stepping back in time to the 1950s. The facility is very manual-labor intensive and virtually nothing is automated. And while the aircraft manufacturer does use automation to produce the composite fuselages for the Premier and Hawker 4000, it still requires a lot more manual labor than Ford's automated car plants.
9) Technology transfer. There are many technologies developed for aircraft that have filtered down to automobiles: GPS navigation, enhanced vision, on-board entertainment systems and so on. Ford could incubate new technologies in Hawker Beechcraft airplanes and transfer them to Ford cars when they are perfected. This could give Ford's auto products a technological edge over competitors.
10) By employing automotive designs, Ford could lower the costs of cabin interiors for Hawker Beechcraft aircraft while at the same time improving their fit and finish. Compare the cabin of the Hawker Beechcraft Bonanza and that of Ford's Lincoln MKX crossover vehicle, and you'll see exactly what I mean. The innovative cabin of the in-development HondaJet has drawn heavily on automotive interior expertise at Honda Motor, as well as its Acura luxury car division. So there's no reason that Ford, and its Lincoln luxury division, couldn't do the same for Hawker Beechcraft airplanes.

"Should" Ford buy Hawker Beechcraft?
Yes, for all the reasons you mention.
No, because they won't be able to build new airplanes at a profit. Demand is not sufficient; bureaucratic costs are too high; legal threats are too great.
The parts business, properly managed and assuming rapid prototyping methods could get FAA approval, might be a good business, however; and Ford could take over a lot of the parts business for other marques, as well.

Ford should get back into the air business, but as a manufacturer of carplanes. A company with the financial strength and technical abilities of Ford is exactly what is needed to take carplanes from a $300,000 vehicle of marginal capabilities to a $100,000 vehicle with superior performance. They could be the game changer in this field. Why not look to the future instead of the past?

Outstanding list and outstanding idea, Mr. Trautvetter! As a past and current owner of many fine Ford products and a pilot and aircraft owner, I for one would love to see Ford return to aircraft manufacturing and retain Hawker Beechcraft as a great American company. It would obviously require a significant change to Ford's current production/marketing goals but Alan Mulally is most definitely the person who could make your idea a reality. He could pull together the right team to get this idea off the ground. I hope that your article has gone to Mr. Mulally and to Ford's Board of Directors for their consideration. Thank you for this fresh thinking.

Nice idea.
But th expense of bringing aircraft through the unnecessarily unwieldy and expensive FAA approval process has spelled doom for many companies. The bizjets might be good, but the trusty reliable Bonanza is built for an American 50 years ago, and the cabin must be widened and a pilot's door added to have a market. The current FAA approval process dooms this effort. Depending on who is in the White House on January 22, the economy may nose-dive again, eliminating the disposable income necessary for the market to afford airplanes.

Ford could adopt Hawker composite technology to reduce weight and make the Focus light enough to be adequately powered by the 3-cylinder, 56.5 mpg EcoBoost engine. Ford could also promote more automated manufacturing technology for Beechcraft to reduce production cost and bring the interior finishes that Cirrus has proven the world now expects. Perhaps we would then see a crossover airplane: a composite, 6-seater, single, fixed gear, with 170+kts cruise, and 1100 nm range for $500k including options. We all know what happened to the automotive world after the introduction of the Ford Explorer. The Bonanza replacement is decades overdue.

1) True, but the cost of "regaining history" may not provide a return on investment for Ford Stock holders. Rosy the Riveter (at least 86 years old now) can bring a lot to the table in getting that new aircraft factory up and running.
2) Nostaligia doesn't pay the bills. But I've been wondering why Ford has such a big tent in Oshkosh.
3) Using this logic, Apple or Google should buy HBC. Just because you have a lot of cash laying around doens't mean it's a good idea. I don't want to burst your bubble but "a couple hundred million" doesn't get you much of a new airplane.
4) If Mullally is as smart as you think he is, then he's smart enough to know that HBC is not Boeing. Boeing only has to run faster than Airbus. HBC has to run faster than Learjet, Cessna, Embraer and compete against Learjet, Cessna, Airbus, and Spirit for talent.
5) Quality is not something you just pour over an airplane design and get happy customers.
6) Pie in the sky. Garmin doesn't just hand out discounts.
7) Automotive engineers and aircraft engineers are both good a playing two totally different games. Considering the history of Daimler engineers playing nice with Chrystler engineers, I doubt this will turn out well.
8) Eclipse tried this, what makes you think Ford can do it ?
9) I'm not so sure about this. HBC doesn't own the technologies you mentioned. HBC can only offer the 1950 sheet metal production skills that you belittle in #10.
10) Ok, it's pretty clear to me that Chad Trautvetter is not an engineer. The entire annual business jet volume of the entire industry is equal to how many hours of production at a single automotive plant. To invest in "quality" and "automation" means buying tools and robots to get a repeatable process. It's possible to do this in the aircraft industry, but it means redesigning, retesting, and recertifying your entire product (prodcut line) to allow those tools to do their job. The cost cannot be recovered unless you plan to build 5000 or 50000 units. Or you can offer the market a super high quality Beech Jet (designed by whom) that costs 10 times more than a gulfstream.

I think it's easy to criticize ideas. Solutions to difficult questions always have some element of risk. But if HBC can be had for a price that discounts its entire business aviation lines (as they're beyond salvaging), a Ford buy would be a great idea. Ford Beechcraft sounds like a winner. Great idea Chad.

There is one huge thing you're forgetting... that is that Ford's executives are responsible to their shareholders and no one else. Ford would have to invest huge sums of money for not a lot in terms of a garanteed return. They would have to buy the company and then modernize Hawker's plants and processes--which is very expensive--and compete in a market they have no experience in. That's a huge risk with cash Ford can reinvest in it core business and probably get a far better return. Fiduciary duty drives companies, not some sense of nationalism, so I'm not seeing how the cost/benefit ratio works out from Ford's perspective.

Ford should not re-enter the aircraft market. Ford is doing well building millions of cars why would they want to build hundreds of airplanes? The Interstate highway system put the brakes on the private aircraft industry. When would this change? You can easily drive 1200 miles with 3 pasengers in a day about what a small plane can do reliably . Jets, perhaps that is what this is really about, can travel further but they are for large businesses and Millionaires and they will get long well without Hawker. Don't for get the oil interests and the government are working against aviation 24/7.

Ford under Jacque Nassar went on a buying binge and bought all sorts of companies with an intent of diversifying from the auto industry. We saw where that went as Ford began to quickly lose tons of money and eventually ended up selling all of Nassar's follies at a huge loss.
Enter Alan Mullally with his One Plan, One Ford mantra and we all see where that has taken the company. The only American auto company to not need a government bailout, and today, it looks like the future is great for the next few weeks. Fewer platforms, economies of scale, and operating in an environment that Ford knows very well.
No, Ford does not need a miniscule partner like HBC. Some of the technology at Ford, still in the research stage, is far advanced from anything that HBC could offer. If the market can not support HBC today, then maybe HBC should be just like the hundreds of auto companies of the past and enter bankruptcy gracefully.

IMHO HBC does not have the functional components to be a going concern and therefore has very little value. Ford is way too smart to go anywhere near this rotting corpse. Where are the new products in the pipeline, the R&D, the other elements HBC needs to move forward and compete? They're simply not there. What "management" remains seems more interested in lining their own pockets with retention bonuses, a move rightfully beaten down by the bankruptcy judge. What value there is is in product support and that makes HBC a parts and pieces sale, likely with several different buyers who will break the place up. HBC's sins were myriad, committed over many decades and several owners. There is no happy ending here.

With Ford products now at #10 in reliability for maintenance among cars, including my 2006 F-250 4x4 with only 56,000 miles on it which has been in the shop for numerous problems both mechanical and electrical; as a professional pilot, I won't consider a Ford product for aviation until they clean up their automotive troubles. We all want Hawker Beechcraft to remain all-American, but Ford has to prove to me that they are reliable first for a few years before I shell out six figures on a Ford produced aircraft. Just calling the baby ugly because it is right now from where we are sitting.

I've had a Ford Freestyle for 5 years. Has some issues with it at 134000 miles, but a great car for space and mileage. Their latest lineup of vehicles is sharp, well built, new technolgy, and competitively priced - and made in the USA. As a pilot, I've always admired Beechcraft. From the Staggerwing, the T34, and the recognizable Bonanza, they don't get much better for what they were designed to do. Hawker jets are still excellent aircraft. Good management and drive can take this thing and make it happen. I, too, like the sound of Ford Hawker Beechcraft. Yes, it would take some good management, but initially improving upon what they have can reap rewards and profits early if they can get a nitch in pricing and quality. Dropping in new instrumentation, good interior styling, and exterior paint, advanced engines, and a strong dealership/service network can move things quickly forward. There certainly are technologies and engineering efforts that can be shared between Ford automobilies and aviation. When you think that Ford broke down the manufacturing of B-24's into sub-assemblies and produce one aircraft every 55 minutes or so, yah!, they could make it happen. I, too, would buy another Ford right away should they take the leap! Go USA!! Go Ford!!

The New Beachcraft could take a large share of the 90-300 market with the best seat in the house. An aircraft with their size in a Single Turbine. Many Countries
are buying and flying that A/C right now in the Pilatus PC-12 with more on order. With the Beech Network and their quality world wide they could get a good market share. Small Airlines need a stretch single engine, private business needs an afforable aircraft. At 300 Kts and a 1200-1500 mile range and a good long range cruise number you could have a winner. The Ford take over could make it happen. Dare to dream!
My Uncle worked with Ford in Iron Mountain, Michigan on the Woody. and loved it.

Would be nice to keep the company in the USA. As far as quality, sorry to all the Beech employees, but quality and customer support suck to put it nicely. HBC tried to turn the customer service around and did for awhile but it just fell right back into the pit. I've worked on numerous other aircraft and I always disliked the Beech products. Over engineered, carried to many of the same problems on from one model to the next, poor design.......

Brilliant idea Chad and one I hope Ford seriously considers. The Ford Logo is the most recognisable and trusted car brand in the world. The publicity and goodwill attached to such a move would be immense, and in my view would generate huge additional car sales for the Ford Motor Company worldwide.

I think this would be an absolute train-wreck of a solution for both companies!
First, HBC does not need to inherit another level of bureaucracy, it already has one installed. The culture within the company is so out of tune with business, that it is going to take a long time...and capital to resolve the internal problems.
I have dealt with HBC first hand regarding the business of doing business, and they just don't get it. Lets take a look at the products and let you decide.
First, without the King Air line HBC is dead in the water. The King Air is a great airplane, I have over 4,000 flight hours PIC in various examples. I have talked with engineering about improving the airframe, that creates more utility from the airframe...and get this, gives me a reason to buy a NEW airplane! Deer in the headlights looks.
Second, if you look at Embraer and the Phenom series of airplanes, you will find the total direct cost of operation is 1/3 that of the King Air series. The multiple inspections required both calendar and time is very costly to the operator, and should be looked at closely as Embraer figured it out. Reduce this cost of redundant inspections, which with engineering improvements you could reduce this approximately 50% and still maintain safety. I believe there may be some liability reasons why they have required certain inspections, but someone needs to take a look at the big picture and start thinking about reducing this cost...else the King Air will become extinct!
Third, look at the last 20 years of aircraft designs that have been launched with HBC. The Bonanaza/Barron line needs serious and major improvements, either modifications or complete re-design of this product is necessary. Second, the Beech Starship was a good airplane that could have been refined and became practical for ownership, it may have been too far ahead of its time. Third, the Hawker 800/850 is an old airframe that just doesn't have a lot more you can do with it, but at minimum figure out an external baggage hold...else, you won't be able to sell this airframe! Fourth, the Premier 1A/II is a nice sized airplane, economical...but terrible runway performance! It needs more wing, could be stretched, but the wing is the thing and this airplane needs too much runway to make it an alternative to the Phenom 300/Cessna CJ4! Fifth, the Hawker 4000 took a long time in development which always hurts sales and excitement.
Internally, HBC is nothing but a lack of accountability and business development! They leave huge sums of money on the table regarding factory support and facility business, there is nothing but incompetence any way you look at it. They never understood the car business is similar to aviation manufacturing in that the profit isn't necessarily int he big ticket sale, but is more geared toward servicing the customer...that is where the profitability long term comes from. However, HBS doesn't know one damn thing about developing this side of the business, either because of a lack of leadership, or just plain incompetence.
As stated, I have met with senior management level personal with HBC, and they essentially are the mindset that you show up for your job, send out a few memos...and everything is fine! Someone with some serious business acumen can figure out what is wrong with this company. I am not sure if these managers hands are tied and they are just going through the motion, or if they are really in a culture of not getting it, which is what I think the problem is. They need to have a director of business that requires growth strategies and outside the box thinking to move the company forward again.

It's difficult to transfer technology or processes from an industry player that builds a few million vehicles every year to one that builds a few hundred planes.Clearly, Mulally has the talent to assess the situation, but typically when the car manufacturers get into other industries, it doesn't work. Ford will stay focused on what they do best. Ford's legacy is automotive, not that they built 199 planes nearly as century ago.

Just like Honda and HondaJet! Rather than Ford, in fact it will probably be more realistic for Honda to buy and integrate HBC into the HondaJet development operations. Honda would have an instant sales organization, aftermarket support capability, and a government business.

No Ford still has price and quality issues, and Beechcraft plus the Hawker company have seriously old designs.

"Quality is job 1". Really? I don't know how many Ford models shared the electrical problems my 1998 Expedition had, but I know for a fact that a 1993 Taurus had the problem, as did a 2003 Taurus, and I recently saw what looked to be a late model F150 sitting in a parking lot with the interior/bed lights blazing away long after it was parked. My Exped also had the faulty cruise control which made it subject to bursting into flame spontaneously. For years, Ford sent me postcards every six months telling me to take it to a dealership so they could disable the CC, but Ford NEVER made the repair parts available to actually fix the problem (no wonder they're so profitable). I'm no longer waiting, as a broken camshaft turned the engine into scrap metal, in my mechanic's opinion as a result of a factory assembly defect. Ford airplanes? I'll pass, thanks.

HBC should 'go out' gracefully. Once a marque yet no longer. They have failed to invest in R&D sufficiently compared to Embraer and Bombardier. Old models and old technology which ultimately leads to dwindling sales. The board have only themselves to blame. Better aircraft are available elsewhere, notably Brazil and Canada.
You cannot compare the supply chains of the aerospace and automotive sectors they are completely different and well established. Many time i have met with Presidents of engineering firms who steer clear of aerospace because; a) the certification and approvals, b) difficult market to break into c) volumes aren't high enough d) long lead times
ford should stick to what they know and build average cars. Honda is an example of how it can be done. they build great reliable cars and no doubt the HondaJet will be the same (early indications is that they will be)because they make quality cars and invest in R&D, lean processes, their people...need i go on???

I don't see any "buy" recommendations from anyone claiming to be a Ford shareholder.
Ford does not need the liabilities that come with aviation products, which in this case are generally based on 40 or more year old designs.
The Beech/Raytheon/Hawker product line has been for sale more years than not, over the past 15 years or so. Everyone has looked at them. This is an investment banking game of musical chairs. Ford does not have any reason to jump in, and risk being the last one standing.

The logic does not make sense.
Ford really does not have the extra cash to do it. Ford has itself deeply in debt and is still in transition to become a better world wide player. Ford needs to keeps its eye on its target. A Ford purchase would be a financial pit not unlike Jaguar, Volvo etc. The financial market would punish Ford.
Fords improved high volume manufacturing techniques have little application to low volume aircraft manufacturing. The reason executive aircraft are nearly handmade is their low volume sales market. In my opinion, executive aircraft interpreted quality still blows away anything a mass producer can do. Ford is not the best automotive interior.
Beech Hawker best place would be Bombardiar or something similar.

On Saturday, May 25, a rally to protest Monsanto was held across the United States and in other countries to allow naysayers to publically bash the global company. These protestors took part in March Against Monsanto, a Facebook-organized event. Local news media in Kansas City covered the event and interviewed several of the participants, who shared their views that Monsanto was poisoning the world and had a stranglehold on farmers.
The participants seemed to pat themselves on the back for attending the rallies. They seemed giddy about getting their message out that Monsanto is the "Satan" of the agriculture world, destroying the planet and our children.
But they seemed so sadly misguided. A blog written by Rachael Ludwick at Fancy Beans, hit the nail on the head. (Here's a link to read the blog, http://tinyurl.com/obvga22). She writes, "There are real problems in our food system and the sustainability of our civilization. There is a lack of transparency. There is a lack of fairness. But Monsanto, as far as it does 'bad' things, is a symptom, not a cause. Monsanto is a cartoon villain we've created to give us a sense of control, a real target to direct our anger at. Unfortunately the problems we have are diffuse and we're all part of the problem."
Monsanto has become the whipping boy for activists angry at so many things beyond their control. These activists often forget that genetically modified corn encompasses many different types of modification. One GM corn is not the same as another. They seem to forget that these seeds are sold not to average consumers but to farmers. They also forget or don't know that Monsanto also sells non-GMO seed.
Monsanto is supplying the consumer (the farmer) what they need and what the market appreciates. If farmers didn't find a benefit to using these products, they wouldn't buy them. Activists forget the marketplace's influence on global companies. "Vote with your wallet," is a common refrain among those who support locally produced food and goods. The same applies to agriculture. If enough farms demanded non-GMO because it was better seed, produced more crops, simplified production and/or offered particular benefits to the end user for a premium, more farmers would buy non-GMO seed. Although some have returned to non-GMO seed, the majority of corn and soybean producers continue to use GM seed.
Another issue activists forget is that the majority of GM corn and soybeans goes to feed livestock and fuel our cars in the form of ethanol and biodiesel. These activists don't seem to be discontinuing the use of their cars.
Ludwick goes on to say, "What we value (either in making law or making purchases) drives what farmers grow and thus why Monsanto is so successful. Throughout human history, the problem has been producing enough food, mostly grains (no one dies if the tomato crop fails, but they do if wheat fails). So our government agricultural subsidies have been setup to support that. Now we are in an era of plenty. Food is cheap, nutritious, safe and plentiful." Historically, we haven't worried as much about local or global pollution (whether it's carbon emissions or pesticide and fertilizer runoff) in the past as much as we are today. As a society, we haven't reward farmers who produce high yields with the least impact.
Activists like to point to Monsanto as a representative of holding a monopoly on agriculture. That is so far from the truth. Monsanto is not the only company investing in agricultural technology. But the names of the other companies are rarely mentioned. You never hear of a March Against Syngenta or March Against Bayer CropScience or March Against DuPont Pioneer.
Monsanto is also criticized for lobbying members of Congress. Nearly every corporation and association in the country has Political Action Committees set up. It is not illegal or unusual for lobbyists to ask representatives and senators to change or support various laws favorable to their business.
Monsanto is no different from General Motors, Ford, Honda, etc. in having a monopoly or lobbying Congress, yet we don't see rallies against GM or Ford, etc. These companies are giants in their industry, just as Monsanto is. If these activists are against corporate greed, why only attack Monsanto? Surely, there are other global companies much larger to attack. Why don't we see the vitriol directed at them?
Ludwick also reminds readers of the old adage, it is better to be for something than against. Until people inside agriculture and outside can work to solve the world's food problems together, a comprehensive solution will be evaded, and activists will continue to protest with no clear directives or solutions being offered.

Greek Chickpea Soup with Lemon and Olive Oil (Revithia)
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe adapted by Kalyn, check after the recipe for soups that inspired my version.)
1 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans) soaked 12-18 hours
1 onion, chopped into pieces about 1/4 inch
1 T + 3 T olive oil (preferably Greek olive oil for this dish)
1 tsp. dried Greek oregano
1 tsp. dried parsley
8 cups water
1 tsp. salt, or a bit more (I used Vege-sal)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (more or less to taste; I like a lot of lemon flavor)
When beans are soft, use a blender or immersion blender to puree the mixture until all ingredients are completely blended. (I love my immersion blender, and highly recommend it for pureeing hot liquids like this. If you use a regular blender, be very careful not to fill it too full so the hot liquid doesn't burn you.)
After soup is pureed, add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Then stir in lemon juice and 2 T of the olive oil. Serve hot, with a bit more olive oil drizzled on the top of each serving.
Of course my appreciation for chickpeas is well-documented, but this was a new way to cook them for me, and since this week's host for Weekend Herb Blogging is Ivy from Kopiaste, I hope she'll like my attempt at a classic Greek soup. If you'd like to participate, check who's hosting and how to enter at Haalo's fabulous blog, where she's carrying on WHB in grand style.

There's been plenty of chatter in this space lately over the numbers game that vegan activists like to play trying to convince themselves and their followers that hordes of people are eager to jump onto the no-animal-foods-or-products bandwagon.
As citizens of an affluent, highly developed, post-modern society, we have that luxury. We have the luxury of choosing to go vegan, a choice unavailable to billions of people elsewhere on the planet. We shouldn't demonize such a benefit; we should instead be cognizant of, and grateful for, the privileged status of being able to forego the consumption of animal food, should we decide to do so.
But I would go further and argue that veganism is far worse than a mere curiosity, a plaything with which privileged people like to experiment. I would argue that the vegan lifestyle is wasteful, selfish and irresponsible.
Harsh? Not at all, not if one honestly dissects not just the dietary dictates but the environmental and socio-economic consequences that would result if billions of people were to go vegan.
› I say wasteful because if livestock were eliminated both as a source of food and fiber, billions of acres of marginal farmland and rangeland could no longer contribute to human nutrition. Assuming we can all agree that with seven billion-plus people now alive on Earth, the hunter-gather lifestyle is no longer viable. Those billions of souls have to be fed through agricultural activity.
Without being able to use land where precipitation is unpredictable, where soils are too unproductive or growing seasons are too short to raise the crops vegan advocates insist we live on, humanity would lose a huge percentage of its overall food productivity, not to mention the loss of billions of tons of animal manure vital to maintaining the fertility of the acreage that is suitable for conventional farming.
› I say selfish because demanding that people everywhere go veggie would deprive millions of people of the foods, the culture and the lifestyle that have sustained them for millennia. The nomadic herding tribes of sub-Saharan Africa, the native people of the Arctic regions, the aboriginal inhabitants across Polynesia as but a few examples — all of them would have to somehow import most of their food from afar (as if that would even be possible), or abandon both their homelands and their lifestyles.
Such a development would be hugely traumatic, but the selfishness of the vegan philosophy is so profound that most of its disciples never even consider such a scenario, much less express any remorse that their extremist ideas might actually cause more harm than good. It's all about making them feel good about their moral superiority, not about relating to people elsewhere who aren't in a position to even consider giving up all animal foods.
› I say irresponsible because if the global food systems currently straining on the brink of unsustainability are to be remedied, the challenge cannot be met without the synergies provided by animal agriculture. We've temporarily ratcheted up the "efficiency" of modern farming via massive inputs of (relatively) cheap fossil fuels. Whether that can be maintained short-term — much less over generations to come — is very much up for debate.
What isn't debatable is the reality that all of characteristics of an ideal food production system — efficiency, localization, biodiversity — cannot be implemented without incorporating livestock into the equation.
Nothing converts sunlight into calories more efficiently than livestock, and the capture and utilization of by-products from those animals are central to creating a farming model that optimizes both inputs and outputs.
The basis is biology
In the end, choosing veganism is akin to choosing celibacy, in three important ways.
First, it is a highly personal decision, one that cannot by any stretch of logic be considered prescriptive for society at large.
Second, although there is merit to both choices, neither can be sold to any but a tiny minority of people, no matter how vigorously its advocates proselytize the rest of us.
And third, the basis for both concepts runs directly counter to the most profound biological imperatives affecting every species on this earth. Only people willing to voluntarily eschew reproduction, or those who consciously try to separate themselves from the very ecosystem that sustains us, could embrace either celibacy or veganism.
Neither choice is natural or normal.
Are there aspects of the vegan and/or celibate lifestyle that have merit? Of course, and some would contend that they represent a higher moral stance.
I'd argue that if either concept had gained more than the tiniest sliver of participants way back when, none of us would even be here today to argue about them.
