Endless queues, screaming children, inadequate seating, international terrorism, deep vein thrombosis – there are loads of fun reasons to fly economy class, and we all love doing so. That said, an aeroplane cabin is not quite the oasis of pure pleasure we might think it is, especially on long journeys. From pulmonary embolism to basic dehydration, no one likes to suffer discomfort, especially in an 85 tonne metal tube travelling at 1,000km/h 10km above terra firma. However, before you decide to cancel your flight, write a will, or tell your partner about that night in Stockholm, why not have a read through our tips on how to stay fit during a long flight – it could make a big difference to your level of comfort. Honestly, we only do it because we care.
- During your booking, ask for a window seat. Usually people who have motion sickness feel better when looking through the window to the horizon. Make sure to buy your plane ticket early in order to have a choice of seat. Alternatively, arrive at the airport early to see if you can reserve a good one. Window seats also make sure your neighbour doesn't need to wake you if they want to take a walk.
- If you don't like turbulence, try a seat above the wings, where the orientation is more steady.
- Avoid using seats with a wall behind or in front of you. Walls in front of you can mean that you cannot stretch your legs enough. A wall behind you can prevent you tilting your chair back far enough.
- Get plenty of sleep before the day of your flight in order to board the plane well rested.
- Drink a lot of water, starting 24 hours before you fly, to prevent dehydration.
During the flight
- Wear loose-fitting clothes to feel as comfortable as possible. Loose clothes will not restrict your movements.
- Avoid uncomfortable footwear such as high-heeled or tight shoes. Pressure differences mean your feet can swell up during the flight, so either take your shoes off and wear slippers or wear shoes that can stretch.
- Don't forget to take plenty of fluids because the air-conditioning will dehydrate you. Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol because these drinks speed up the dehydration process. Preferably take fresh water.
- Try to avoid putting anything under the seat in front of you; it's better to have this space in which to move your feet and your ankles.
- Try to walk regularly in the cabin of the plane (at least every hour).
- If you suffer from earache don't forget to chew some chewing gum or try to blow through your nose whilst squeezing it shut with your fingers.
- During the flight, the air on board can be dry because of the altitude, the UV glare on the windows, and the air-conditioning. That is why we advise you to take a moisturizing cream for the face and the hands, to drink enough water, and to wear your glasses instead of contact lenses.
Between flights
- If you have to wait between two flights, try to go out of the airport in order to enjoy some fresh air.
- Try to take a shower if your connecting flight is going to be a long one.
Sleeping on board
- Take a special pillow with you for sleeping in an upright position. This will prevent neck cramps after waking up.
- Try to stay warm – don't be afraid to ask for an extra blanket.
- Be sure to always have an eye mask with you, to allow yourself to sleep when it's light around you.
- Always take earplugs with you. Engines, children, snoring passengers, emergency alarms – there are many disturbances on board.
- Drink enough before you go to sleep in order to avoid dehydration.
- Avoid drinking caffeine if you hope to sleep.
- Keep your seat belt visibly fastened, so the crew won't need to wake you up during periods of turbulence.
- Try to eat a banana before you go to sleep. A banana contains melatonin, which makes you sleepy, and also magnesium, which relaxes your muscles.
Upon arrival
- You needn't rush to get off the plane (unless you are about to miss a connecting flight); it's much better to wait calmly in your seat until the crowds have dispersed, and then enjoy the space to retrieve your hand luggage while everyone else is waiting in the bus at the bottom of the steps.
- Stretch when entering the airport to prevent cramps.
- Find a toilet and refresh with some cold fresh water.

Faber is another one of those excellent macro thinkers who has a very good feel for the markets in general. He's bearish on stocks in general, but says if you want to own stocks you need to be bullish on the names that have been beat down the most.
- He's bullish on: Vietnamese, Japanese & Chinese equities.
- At this moment, he's not particularly bullish about anything.
- He says he's "deeply uncomfortable" about the current market environment and is concerned that the economic environment is extremely unstable throughout the globe.
- He says the US Dollar could rally here. He's also bullish on gold (as expected).

Dave Runners world did a good sub 4 one last year building base then hills etc - thats the one I did the best using. I just decided to write my own using bits from other runs. I've got a 50 miler in Feb first so decided to concentrate on that then continue onto a marathon plan shortly afterwards. I think if it wasn't London I probably would have got the sub 4 but London being London is not fast unless you get a good pen.
Interesting reading. I've done 9 marathons now in 7 years starting with 4.45 down to 4.10 at London this year. I've also got a place in London next year and would love to achieve the sub 4. I've also ran 4 Ultras - one 70 miler last year and 3 this year, a 40 in May, 70 in July, and a 51 4 weeks ago. I've got a 50 miler in Feb booked in too. I've got endurance for sure (46 year old with 5 kids). Does anybody know which training plans are best to use please? I've tried a few, including runnersworld sub 4 last year which did get me a better time. So many out there, thanks
Well done guys. My husband was Gary the head sports therapist he was absolutely knackered! I thought at one point he looked more knackered than I felt, he even ached the next day which made me giggle.
Lovely event will be there next year, just for the 70 though.
Jane Benson
Lovely well organised event yesterday. My friend and I ran the 70 in 16.25 so well pleased. Can't find where to rate the event but would like to if anybody knows. Well done to all for all your efforts, I know lots had to pull out but you can understand why and its much safer to do that rather than ending your running career.
If we all turn up Iain - you may be the only one if not oh and the winner.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/20/13
Rafael Montero took s the hill for Binghamton today and dominated. When it comes to pitching prospects in the Mets organization, Zack Wheeler is the guy that the majority of fans will stop to see how he performed the night before. However, it seems that with every start Wheeler makes, he is getting further and further away from making his Citi Field debut. On the other hand, Rafael Montero seems to be getting closer and closer with every start he makes. Is there a more impressive pitcher in the Mets organization right now than Montero? He started today's game for Binghamton and dominated again. He pitched six innings, allowing no runs, struck out six batters and walked none. He now has 27 strikeouts this season, and has only given up one walk. I think I have to say that again for affect – He now has 27 strikeouts this season, and has only given up one walk. That is about as phenomenal a ratio as you will see. He is holding hitters to a .182 average against him. In other words, the b...

Does anyone know much about how QSECOFR is treated? We did a penetration
test back in July and during the test QSECOFR was disabled. We did not
find that out until today. When we go to WRKUSRPRF it shows a successful
sign-on occurring Saturday (8/9). We IPL on Saturday, but it bugs us that
we see it signing on when it was supposedly disabled.
I am just looking for some peace of mind that this is what we should see.
When we discovered the profile was disabled we initially assumed it had
been disabled after that successful sign-on Saturday morning, but the only
disabled message we found in the logs occurred back in July.

The city of Baltimore has purchased 80 new 2013 model-year Chevrolet Caprice PPV police cruisers for use by officers in the city's Northeast District. The city purchased the vehicles using the Baltimore Police Department's existing fleet budget for $2.3 million.
Each Caprice PPV will be equipped with mobile data terminals and provide officers with a foundation to begin field-based reporting. Officers will be able to create and submit police reports directly from their patrol vehicles.
A committee of police officers and instructors with the agency's emergency vehicle operation training team selected the Caprice after testing the cruiser against the Ford Police Interceptor and Dodge Charger Pursuit.

Microsoft acquires LinkExchange
The deal will provide Microsoft with targeted information about users on the LinkExchange network, as well as gain another channel to promote its services to the network's members.
LinkExchange members participate in an ad-banner network that allows users to advertise for free throughout its 800,000 sites. In return, members agree to support advertisements from both other members and outside sponsors on their sites.
For Microsoft, the acquisition enables MSN.com to offer a service to small businesses, a market that many other portals have pursued. Advertisements for these Web sites also will appear in Web search results pages, as well as throughout MSN's network of sites. Microsoft, in return, can use the network of sites to promote its own products, according to Laura Jennings, MSN vice president.
"From a small-business perspective, we can take LinkExchange's services and combine them with Microsoft technology," said Jennings.
The San Francisco-based company has 100 employees. Microsoft is paying $250 million for LinkExchange, which was originally funded by venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, the Wall Street Journal first reported.
"It's a similar type of a move to Yahoo buying Yoyodyne, and Excite buying MatchLogic," said Drew Ianni, an analyst at Jupiter Communications. "It's similar in regards to targeting and enhancing the value of advertising."
For the past year, the Microsoft has significantly ramped up its Net efforts by launching and acquiring a number of Web properties, such as Sidewalk and Hotmail, to join existing commerce and information sites such as CarPoint, real estate service HomeAdvisor, and travel resource Expedia.
In July, Microsoft announced it would bring all of its Web properties under one MSN-branded roof as a means of offering heftier advertising packages promising wider audience reach. Instead of selling advertising deals based on one site, Microsoft will up its price tag when offering a network-wide advertising deal.
In addition, the re-packaged Web sites added an "MSN" to the beginning of each name, which further allowed the MSN.com portal to incorporate and promote more Microsoft content under one unified brand.
The strategy is not without its critics. Microsoft is embroiled in a legal battle with the Justice Department and 20 states, which have charged the software maker with using its dominant position in the operating systems software to control the browser market and possibly the fledgling Internet market.
Bloomberg contributed to this story.

UTSA Downtown Campus hosts March 19 citywide event celebrating SA2020
(March 15, 2011)--The UTSA Downtown Campus will be the site of a citywide event celebrating SA2020 on Saturday, March 19, in the Bill Miller Plaza.
Sponsored by the Office of the Mayor, the event will celebrate the final report of SA 2020, a six month-long, community collaborative to help define the future of San Antonio. The event, co-sponsored by the UTSA Office of the Vice Provost for the Downtown Campus and the UTSA College of Public Policy, the event will begin at 11 a.m. and will include a catered barbecue lunch.
>> For more information and to reserve a seat, visit the SA2020 website.
"We are very pleased that the mayor has chosen the Downtown Campus as the location for this event," said Jesse T. Zapata, UTSA vice provost for the Downtown Campus. "We have many academic programs that emphasize our connection to the San Antonio community in particular and to urban settings in general. Given its setting and its mission, the Downtown Campus is the ideal site for the mayor to release the final SA2020 report."
SA2020 began in September 2010 and consisted of five public meetings to address three key questions:
- What are the biggest challenges facing San Antonio today?
- What is the most important aspect of living in San Antonio that you hope is preserved or maintained?
- If you could change or improve one thing about San Antonio, what would that be?
The public meetings were chaired by Mayor Julian Castro; Graham Weston, chairman of Rackspace Hosting; Darryl Byrd, managing director of Pearl Brewery; and Sonia Rodriguez, attorney and chairwoman of the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women.
"The College of Public Policy is honored to serve as co-sponsor of this event, which celebrates a wonderful effort and the beginning of a significant policy initiative for the City of San Antonio," said Francine Romero, associate dean of the UTSA College of Public Policy. "We look forward to working with Mayor Castro on this and future collaborations to make SA2020 goals a reality."

Day 11, Going to 3/4 of the road to the sun
Well up early for me and I try to get into the park before it gets Yellowstone style. The mudslide is still blocking the Going to the sun road and wasn't expected to be cleared until 1 or 2 PM so I drive as far as I can turn around then make a giant loop around to the other side of the park and grab the other half up to where its blocked. Picture bombing commencing...
I used a Butler map of Montana to send me on a tad longer route but well worth it around Orthop Lake. I pulled into Eureka Montana on my way there for gas not knowing I was so close to Canada. I wanted to swing up to Canada and get International Adventure Rider status but no Passport on me, I would be a lowly domestic Adventure rider for now.
I had started to think I was somewhat hardcore since numerous people thought I was crazy to do this trip on basically a 250 dirt bike. I saw a guy on a road bicycle getting something to drink wearing a Lucky Labrador riding jersey from Portland Oregon. I asked if he was from there and he said he was actually from Seattle. Wow I said you rode that all the way from Seattle. Nope he replied, from Virginia. WTF!! He flew out there and has been riding back for about 4 months now. He was just doing it to do it and loving every minute of it.
You hear that .......pshhhhhh that was my ego being deflated and a reality check. This guy has peddled his ass all the way from Virginia on a seat way smaller than my Wolfman fender bag and as hard as my tire. That guy was hardcore like a diamond and I was hardcore like ummm an old bagel. Here I am thinking I am special doing this on a 250, stop whining about your seat and get rolling on your MOTOR cycle.
Rode around Orthop lake on the NF road on the west side of the lake which was all to myself and very scenic. The road was in rough shape and had more tar snakes than the Well of Soules
( get it?)
The folks at Black Dog Cycle works told me Sandpoint Idaho was the place to be so I was on my way. Beautiful drive and glad I chose the route. After grabbing something to eat I am surprised to find the campground full,
Mother trucker it was almost dark. Time to ride the bike like a crotch rocket and get to a hotel in Couer d'Alene. I stay in the first hotel I find, Super 8. I like to call it Super 8 ball since its full of meth tweekers. Long Long day and although the carpet is moist in the room its off to sleep.
Holy crap I went 454 miles that day, didn't realize that until now. One more day to go until this ride report is put to sleep.

As word got out that the Department of Defenses' Fire Fighter Program was coming to an end in Oklahoma, public outcry rang out there and here in Texas, which has resulted in that order being rescinded.
It was beautiful day at Lake Wichita Park Saturday where dozens of people gathered to help raise money for a good cause.
A member of a Clay County volunteer fire department helps battle flames at his own home.
Some Lake Arrowhead residents say a letter they received this week from the city of Wichita Falls came as a bit of a shock. That letter states that a new lake rule book will be presented to the Wichita Falls City Council Tuesday. Residents say one of the new rules takes away their access to a resource they've depended on for so long.
Budget cuts to state grants for volunteer fire departments have reduced those grants by more than 70 percent over the past three years. Officials say those cuts have had a huge impact on VFD's across the stat, but local volunteer firefighters say they're faring a little better.

Starting in 2006, the definition of binge drinking changed to consuming five or more drinks on an occasion for men, or four or more drinks on an occasion for women one or more times during the past 30 days. Data for this indicator have been analyzed using this new definition.
To reduce bias and more accurately represent population data, the BRFSS survey methodology changed. In 2009, the survey began including surveys on cellular phones in addition to landline phones. And a new weighting methodology, known as "iterative proportional fitting" (raking) was implemented. More details about these changes can be found at: http://health.utah.gov/opha/publications/brfss/Raking/Raking%20impact%202011.pdf.
As with all surveys, some error results from nonresponse (e.g., refusal to participate in the survey or to answer specific questions), and measurement (e.g., social desirability or recall bias). Error was minimized by use of strict calling protocols, good questionnaire design, standardization of interviewer behavior, interviewer training, and frequent, on-site interviewer monitoring and supervision.
Why Is This Important?Binge drinking is an indicator of potentially serious alcohol abuse, and is related to driving under the influence of alcohol. It is a problem nationally, especially among males and young adults. Alcohol abuse is strongly associated with injuries and violence, chronic liver disease, fetal alcohol syndrome, and risk of other acute and chronic health conditions. Binge drinking among women of childbearing age is a problem because of the risk for prenatal alcohol exposure. Birth defects associated with prenatal alcohol exposure can occur during the first 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy before a woman knows she is pregnant.
Healthy People Objective SA-14.3:Reduce the proportion of persons engaging in binge drinking during the past month--Adults aged 18 years and older
U.S. Target: 24.4 percent
Other ObjectivesOne of Utah's 42 Community Health Indicators
One of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Chronic Disease Indicators.
How Are We Doing?Using data from both landline and cell phones in 2013, it was estimated that 12.3% (crude rate) of Utah adults binge drank at least once in the 30 days prior to the survey. Utah is well below the Healthy People 2020 objective of 24.4% for this measure.
This measure of binge drinking in the past 30 days fluctuated between a high of 12% in 1993 to a low of 7.7% in 1997 during the time these rates were calculated using only data from landline phone interviews.
How Do We Compare With U.S.?Estimates for 2013 show that 16.5% of U.S. adults reported binge drinking in the past 30 days whereas 12.3% of Utah adults reported binge drinking (crude rates).
The percentage of adults who reported binge drinking in the past 30 days was substantially lower in Utah than in the U.S. for all years reported between 1989-2013.
What Is Being Done?The Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health is the agency responsible for ensuring that substance abuse and mental health prevention and treatment services are available statewide. The Division also acts as a resource by providing general information, research, and statistics to the public regarding substances of abuse and mental health services. <http://www.dsamh.utah.gov>

The Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit program was created in 2013 as a multi-year community-based effort by the Department of Building to ensure the safety and resilience of San Francisco through the retrofit of all older, wood-framed, multi-family buildings in San Francisco with a soft-story condition.
As part of the Soft Story Program, all affected property owners were noticed beginning in September 2013 and were required to have submitted their screening forms to the Department of Building Inspection by September 15, 2014. As of October 6, 2014 although we have achieved a 90% response to the program, there are approximately 500 properties who have yet to submit their screening forms. Buildings that have not complied with this requirement will be placarded and issued notices of violation.
We encourage property owners of soft story buildings to take the necessary first steps by submitting their screening forms to DBI as soon as possible to ensure their properties are seismically safe in anticipation of the next big quake.
For more information please check out the Ordinance and Informational Brochure (Chinese) (Spanish).
Contact Us
(415) 558-6699 or email at email@example.com
Click Here for Your Building's Status
6. Resources
All San Francisco buildings that are wood-framed, permitted for construction prior to 1978, contain five or more residential dwelling units and are three or more stories or two stories over a basement or underfloor area that have any portion extending above grade, and have not yet been seismically strengthened have been noticed as part of this program and will be required to complete and return a screening form. These buildings are not necessarily seismically unsafe, but rather fit the scope and criteria of buildings known to have weaknesses that the Soft Story Retrofit Ordinance wishes to address. This screening process will determine a building's status within this program.
The list below of buildings are ones the City believes, to the best of our knowledge, to be within the scope of the Mandatory Seismic Retrofit Ordinance. These are not necessarily unsafe buildings, but rather buildings that need to be screened to ascertain if they are within this program or not. Buildings that are within the program will be required to retrofit and their status within that process will be noted in this database. The owners of these addresses may engage an architect, or an engineer, and have them complete the appropriate form to prove that this property should be exempt from the new ordinance. As DBI receives these completed forms, signed by the architect or engineer, with appropriate license number and/or engineering seal, the address may be removed by DBI from this soft-story building inventory, and this list will be updated accordingly.
Soft Story Program Database (Excel)
You may submit your completed form via email as a PDF attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com or as a hard copy by U.S. mail to Soft Story Program, 1660 Mission Street - 1st Floor,San Francisco CA 94103. The Department does not allow submittal by fax.
Screening Forms must all be submitted by September 15, 2014.
Please be sure your screening form is, if required, completed by a licensed design professional, as well as stamped and signed.
Submit all three pages of the form, even if some sections are not required. Keep a copy for your records
AB-094: which set criteria for voluntary retrofits, went into effect on May 26, 2009. If you completed a retrofit in compliance with AB-094 prior to June 18, 2013, then you are in compliance with the requirements of this ordinance. Please follow instructions on screening form.
Other Retrofits: SFBC Section 3402B Exception 1 exempts retrofits completed within the last 15 years if they satisfied the requirements now found in SFBC Section 1604.11. However, because this exemption will likely require more careful review of various documents (plans, calculations, etc.), owners seeking this exemption must submit documentation together with the separate Optional Evaluation Form. Please fill out all sections of the Screening Form and submit.
To obtain a permit, two sets of plans are required to be prepared by a licensed architect, civil or structural engineer. Drawings shall be a minimum size of 11"x17" with all character height to be a minimum of ?". Each page of plans are required to be wet signed and stamped by the design professional of record and the submittal documents should also include two sets of structural calculations with the cover pages wet signed and stamped. The permit applicant should also complete the submittal requirement checklist included in SFBC AB-106.
To start the permit application process, start at the first floor information counter and complete an application form. Once the form is complete the first floor counter staff will check your application for completeness and if the property has any outstanding complaints or violations. After this step you will be directed to the Over-The-Counter (OTC) intake staff located on the 5th floor. The permit technician will review your plans for the minimum completeness standards and establish the required routing stations based on the proposed scope of work.
While not required, the Department strongly encourages the design professional to be present during this process. This will greatly assist the structural plan reviewer to address any questions or concerns with the design.
Tier I - Any building containing educational, assembly, or residential care facility uses (Building Code Occupancy E, A, R2.1, R3.1, or R4).
Tier II - Any building containing 15 or more dwelling units
Tier III - Any building not falling within another tier
Tier IV - Any building containing ground floor commercial uses (Building Code Occupancy B or M), or any building in a mapped liquefaction zone. For information about liquefaction please visit the CAPSS ESIP website.
The Earthquake Safety Implementation Program (ESIP) has worked with Code for America to develop an application to assist property owners and tenants to determine if their building is within a mapped liquefaction hazard zone. Please visit www.sfcapss.org/softstory to use this application.
There are several options for design professionals to use to meet the requirements of the ordinance. The options are:
FEMA P-807, Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Multi-Unit Wood-Frame Buildings With Weak First Stories, as detailed in an Administrative Bulletin to be prepared pursuant to 3406B.3 of this ordinance, with the performance objective of 50 percent maximum probability of exceedance of Onset of Strength Loss drift limits with a spectral demand equal to 0.50 SMS, or
ASCE 41-13, Seismic Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, with the performance objective of Structural Life Safety in the BSE-1E earthquake, or
ASCE 41-06, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings, with the performance objective of Structural Life Safety in the BSE-1 earthquake with earthquake loads multiplied by 75 percent, or
For evaluation only, ASCE 31-03, Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings, with the performance level of Life Safety, or
For retrofit only, 2012 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) Appendix A-4, or
Any other rational design basis deemed acceptable by the Department that meets or exceeds the intent of the above standards.
The City is legally unable to recommend engineers and contractors at this time, however there are resources available, listed here:
SEAONC also maintains a page that explains the value of hiring an engineer and how to hire an engineer.

About Rick Hahne Calls
I grew up hunting ducks and geese on the flat plains in North Central Iowa. My interest in custom calls was first sparked when a buddy showed me a hedge single reed duck call made by Darrel Wright of Boone, IA. Not long after that I made the trip to Mr. Wrights shop and purchased my own custom duck call. That first "Custom Call" sparked a fire for waterfowl calling. It was only a matter of time before the interest turned into a serious hobby, and from a hobby to an obsession. The next natural progression was to make my own call. Through much trial and error, I spent hours at my lathe in the garage perfecting this craft. Now over 10 years of custom call making and call manufacturing experience, Rick Hahne Calls has developed custom calls that are unique not only in appearance and quality, but unmatched in performance and consistency. As a Tool - Maker and Machinist by trade, and Highly competitive contest caller, I have put countless hours of design and technology into my call making to ensure that you get a call that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.
Now the rest of the story:
My wife, Michelle, and I are the proud parents of six up-and-coming duck and goose callers and hunters. Lexi, 17, is the first employee of our company. She helps me polish and tune calls, and helps with the day-to-day running of the business. Ashley, 13, while not a contest caller, is a devoted Rick Hahne Calls enthusiast. She enjoys going along on the hunt but leaves the calling to dad and her other siblings. Gunnar, 11, is now my right hand man. He helps me in most aspects of my call making. Polishing, cleaning, tuning and packaging, he is a huge part of the future of RHC. If you've ever been to a contest and seen me, you've probably seen Gunnar at my side. With a couple of wins and top finishes under his belt already, you will be seeing more of him in the future. Kerry Joy, 9, & Lauren, 7, wears their calls around their necks and help daddy clean up the shop, along with giving him call lessons. Theron, 4, can usually be found with a call hanging out of his mouth. Then there is the Crew. These are the guy's that have spent time with me and helped do all those things that are not on the glamorous side of call making. With out their help and enthusiasm I would not have made it this far. Thanks guys both old and new!
As you can see, it is not just an obsession; it's a way of life. My Faith, my Family and the many call enthusiasts I have met along the way, help encourage me to make the best call that I can and then stand behind it with the integrity and service demanded by Hard-Core hunters, and callers.
Best regards,
Rick Hahne
Garrett Day
I have been a die hard waterfowl hunter as far back as I can remember. Hunting has always been a passion of mine, but if it hadn't been for my dad I am not sure if I would have ever got the chance to experience this great sport. I hunt as much as I can and nothing will get between me and the pursuit of waterfowl. I am on Rick Hahne Calls Field Staff and Tribal Outdoors Field Staff. If I am not at school, I am hunting!
Joe Haake
As the only son born to an avid hunter, Joe was introduced to duck blinds as soon as he could walk. Joe spent the early years hunting waterfowl and fishing from Canada to Texas, but Platte County Missouri has always been home. As he got older, his father introduced him to deer hunting, Where the fundamentals of planning and scouting were emphasized as much as safety.
By his early teens, Joe found himself providing guide services to family and friends, and surrounded himself with people who shared his passion. After his father passed away Joe continued to spend time afield and although he still enjoys deer hunting, Joe's true passion is found in waterfowl.
Joe now spends his hunting season's chasing waterfowl throughout North West Missouri and East Central Kansas along the lakes, rivers, and grain fields. He is also involved with his local Ducks Unlimited Chapter, and also try's to get more young hunter's afield every year. Joe lives outside Platte City, Missouri with his wife Adrienne and daughter Lena.

All of KTM owners need to support this project, with out John we would not have these bikes today! He is a great guy and this needs to be done before it is to late. His vision and dedication to off road racing completely changed how manufacturers designed and built bikes. My 1974 250 hare scrambler has a wide space between the swing arm with a removable spacer that allows you to remove the rear wheel with out disconnecting the brake, it also draws air into the carb thru the top frame rail to allow deep water crossing. These are just a few examples of feature he designed into his bikes.
He was not happy with the quality of gear so he approached Alpinestars who made ski boots and designed a off road motorcycle boot that he then marketed has Hipoint gear and offered a full line of parts for bikes.

Astrata GPS Telemetric units providing monitoring and delivery of critical medical supplies for remote villages for Gates Foundation/Stanford University's "Riders for Health" program.
"Astrata's GPS technology is a critical component of Stanford University's multi-year evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of contracting out vehicle delivery fleet management as an approach to strengthening the performance of health delivery organizations in Zambia." Said Davis, of the Riders for Health program sponsored by Stanford University and the Gates Foundation.
Stanford University is partnering with Riders for Health, a nonprofit organization focused on providing reliable and cost-efficient transportation solutions for health workers who are reaching out to rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Riders has developed a system for managing fleets of delivery vehicles and motorcycles with planned preventive maintenance. The organization's mission is to strengthen health systems in global health, and it is working toward the vision of a world in which no one dies of an easily preventable or curable disease because they cannot be reached with commonly available medical supplies due to barriers of distance, terrain or poverty. Riders believes heath care should be available to everyone, regardless of location or local geography.
Stanford is evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of Riders' delivery model. A key component of the research data utilizes Astrata's GPS tracking and back-end management technology. GPS trackers are affixed to Riders for Health and Ministry of Health vehicles as well as motorcycles in Zambia's Southern Province. By tracking the movements of health workers, motorcycles and vehicles, Stanford is able to manage on-time performance, security, location and effectiveness of the in delivery system in supporting the medical supply-chain.

of volunteer hours go into the creation, building, and designing of
our hand carved, sanded, and painted carousel horses. Every
horse has a magical journey of creation. Each horse design is
modeled after classical figures made in the USA during the
Golden Age of Carousels. They reflect the carving style from the
master carvers of the 19th & 20th centuries that created
hundreds of wooden carousel horses that were purchased and
sent to locations all over the United States to entertain carnival
and fair patrons.
Teri's original drawing of Magic based
on the original classical horse figure.
Sketching & Designing the horse
Sketching out a design for each figure is the first step in
designing each horse. The sketch is similar to a blueprint and is
made using a projector to enlarge a picture of the figure selected
as a model. The size of the enlargement is the actual size of the
figure to be carved. The sketch is made of the romance side of
the horse that is the side of the animal facing away from the
center hub of the carousel. Once the blueprint is completed our
artists and or carvers work with the figure sponsor to incorporate
any changes or modifications. These are done before the
construction and carving will begin.
Teri sketches the layout of Magic to
be transferred to the body block.
Building the wooden blocks
The first step in construction involves selecting the wood to
assemble carving "blanks" or the seven or eight pieces that will
become the finished figure. This includes the head, body, neck,
four legs and the tail. The wood is kiln-dried basswood used
primarily because it is light in weight, very strong and relatively
easy to carve. Each figure requires about 120 board feet of
wood. We select the wood to be sure grains line up and the flow
of grain is continuous throughout the body. From the sketch of
the figure, we cut pieces of wood to match the size of the legs,
tail, head, etc.
The process begins with boards of
basswood. They need to be glued
together in order to create the blocks.
Gluing and Sketching the Blanks
To form this body blank, the wood is glued and clamped. Once
the body blank has dried, we transfer the drawing onto the
wooden blanks. With a band saw we then do a silhouette cut of
the figure and also drill a hole for the carousel pole. Other holes
are made for attachment of the other wooden blanks, like the
legs, tail, neck and head.
The carved pieces are then sanded and attached using wooden
dowels and strong glue. Nails are not used in the construction of
carousel horses as the metal invites moisture contributing to
decay and insect damage to the wood.
Ken works with Teri to carefully
transfer the full size drawing to the
body blank.
Rough Carving begins on the blocks
Our carvers begin with power grinders to remove much of the
excess wood before hand carving begins. Then we start "rough
carving," which involves skillful use of sharp chisels and gouges
to begin to shape the figure.
Care is necessary not to remove too much wood in the detail
work. If too much wood is left on will result in a boxy look and
not reflect the true anatomical appearance of the horse.
Our carving blanks are carved before we join them together. It is
less cumbersome to carve the pieces before joining them. To
carve each piece, we secure them in a vise and / or clamp.
Phil straps the block down in the
carving shop and takes the first
chunks of wood out of Magic.
Detailed Carving
Our team of experienced carvers help the new carvers in
keeping figures in the right proportions as the carving proceeds.
Once the rough carving is completed the detailed carving begins
including the trappings (the detail on and around the saddle),
smaller figures and other items designed to appear on the final
The most intricate parts to be carved by more experienced
carvers are the mane and the face. Carvers gain initial
experience in doing flowers and other ornamental designs.
Phyllis and Ed discuss progress on
Magic the horse.
Assembly & Fine Sanding
Once the individual parts are carved and individually sanded,
they are assembled with dowels, glue and clamps. The seams
are shaped and smoothed, giving the figure a smooth flawless
appearance and preparing it for final sanding phase.
The horses are put together in stages. Usually the head is
attached and glued to the neck first. Then the neck is attached
and glued to the body block. Then when all of that is properly
sanded the legs and tail are glued to the body block.
As Magic moves along in the carving
shop the horse also needs to have
Priming the wooden horse
The gluing of the horse is completed and the fine sanding is
completed. Then the horse is inspected and if smooth enough
the horse is ready to be primed. We paint on an initial primer
right onto the wood. Then we do sanding of the horse with the
primer on it. The next step is a a few more coats of a white
primer with additional fine sanding between each coat that is put
onto the horse.
After the horse has been thoroughly inspected by supervisors
and is smooth enough it is handed over to the paint shop for the
next step in the process.
Teri begins priming the wooden horse
with primer that is specifically
designed to soak into the wood work.
Color Painting
Before our artists begin painting of the horse, we carefully plan
out all aspects of the paint job. A color scheme is chosen and a
swatch palette is established.
We use enamel paints on the trappings. Applying three coats
and letting the paint dry and cure between each application.
Some of horses we will add jewels to before the final painting
occurs. Body colors are done after trappings. Oil paints are
dabbed & stippled to create soft shading that gives the horse a
3-D look. The more the fine detail, the more exquisite the horse.
Magic gets a wonderful coat of white
in the paint shop before he gets his
body painted.
Clear coating the horse
Following the completed horse painting, we apply by hand with
brush the two to three coats of a clear coat over the finished
paint (allowing time for curing and sanding between each coat).
These coats add luster to the horse and protect the paint from
wear. More coats are usually added to the trappings where
the horse will have more contact with the riders. The end result
is a very shiny and beautiful horse.
Magic's colorful paint job has dried
and now he begins the clear coating
How are the carousel horses created at The Berkshire Carousel?
When browsing through the photos hover over the small photos on the right and the larger version will appear.
The full size blueprint of Magic the
carousel horse is drawn out to actual
size and the team looks at it to make
Once the design is adjusted the block
building can begin, while the blueprint
can be prepared to transfer to the
wood blocks.
Carvers work on rounding out the
body and creating the shape that
emulates the horses midsection.
A variety of tools are used to create
the beautifully carved carousel
horses and their trappings.
Phil shows the points that the carvers
use to glue and join the different
carved body blocks together.
The carving team discuss the
progress of the carving of Magic.
Each block is measured out and
created. The center body block is
the largest of the pieces.
Once the horse is designed and the
body blocks are made the horse can
start being carved.
Phil discusses the full size blueprint
with Teri, which is drawn to show the
actual size of the horse.
The carvers on the team talk about
Magic and the carving progress. They
discuss the next steps involving the
carving on the horse.
The body blank is formed from blocks
like a hollow box. The hollow body
lightens the weight, puts less strain
on the carousel.
The block sits on the sturdy metal
rack while being compressed while
the glue is drying.
Sections of the blueprint are redrawn
and then transferred onto the blanks.
The drawings are transferred to the
blanks and then they are put in the
carving shop to begin their journey.
After the blanks have dried the
builders cut them with saws to form
the shapes of the heads, legs, neck,
and tails.
The head block is ready and the
blueprint is drawn onto the wooden
blocks and heads into the carving
Felix starts carving on Magic's head
in the carving shop. As carvers work
they keep the blueprints and photo
reference nearby for viewing.
Magic's head continues on in the
carving shop. The head blueprint will
be drawn back onto the carving for
the next carver.
All sections of the horse must be
focused on during the sanding
Sanding takes place over several
days with different people working on
different parts of the horse.
In the end the team finishes the
sanding process and delivers the
horse to the painters for priming.
After the initial coat of primer dries it
is sanded until the coating is smooth
and flat to the touch of the hand.
Between each coat of primer the
horse is sanded to the make the next
coat able to go on very smoothly.
Once all of the layers of primer are
on the horse it goes to the paint shop
to complete it's journey to be a
finished carousel horse.
.After the enamels are done the
artists begin painting Magic's body.
On this horse the colors are based
on reference photos of the real
Several layers of oil paints are used
on the horse. Adjustments are made
and the colors are evaluated during
the painting process.
Every layer of oils adds to the depth
and shading of the horse. Magic is a
very rich and colorful horse with lots
of shading and spots.
The trappings traditionally get more
clear coat layers because the rider
comes in contact with the horse more
often in these spots.
After each coat of clear goes on
artists have to observe the horse for
drips and bubbles and take care of
them as they appear.
After Magic has had several coats of
clear coating and is done drying
thoroughly he joins the rest of the

MAC DSquared Collection: Sculpt & Shape Duos Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Bone Beige/Emphasize
MAC Cosmetics DSquared Collection: Sculpt & Shape Duos
MAC DSquared Collection is small launch in-stores today, the 28th. The collection includes two Sculpt & Shape Powder Duos — Bone Beige/Emphasize and Accentuate/Sculpt.
Sculpt & Shape Powder Duos
- Bone Beige/Emphasize is a duo of a soft, lightly shimmered palest cream for highlighting and a reddish-toned light-medium brown for contouring. This is supposed to be most ideal for lighter skin tones (think NC/NW15).
- Accentuate/Sculpt is a duo of a soft, pinky-peach shimmered highlighter and a neutral-cool medium matte brown for contouring. This is most ideal for light and medium skin tones.
Accentuate/Sculpt is my favorite duo, as I feel it's very universal and can work for a wide variety of skin tones. Sculpt can be layered for deeper color or used lightly for softer color. I personally have all of MAC's Sculpt & Shape powder line in full-size (they're the size of blushes–but they can be purchased individually rather than as a duo at PRO), and I love them. They're great for cheeks and the face, but they're also outstanding on the eyes for a very natural, sculpted look.
- Product: 28/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Recommendation: If you're looking for a non-bronzer contouring product, try MAC's Sculpt & Shape line!

United Nations World Water Day
International World Water Day is held annually on March 22nd as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. This year's theme is "Water and Food Security". Find out more information about food security at this website: http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/faqs.html
There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we 'drink' is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of water while 1 kilo of wheat 'drinks up' 1,500 litres.

Service & Justice Trips Reflection Video
The Story of Stuff – When Humans & the Environment are Included in the Picture!
By Carissa Smith
If you are interested in learning about where all of our wonderful "stuff" comes from watch this video about the story of stuff. You may be surprised about the story of the people and the environment that are inextricably connected to the story of our economic system. This 20 minute synopsis of the story of "stuff" is a great start to understanding many of the great injustices that exist today.
After watching this video I was disturbed by our endless habit of consumption and how our (as in Americans and people in other Industrial nations) over-consumption negatively impacts the Environment and not only our brothers and sisters abroad but ourselves as well. I became more aware of my own subconscious processes that tied my identity to my consumption and I began to notice the same in others. It has been unsettling to realize how as a society and a culture we have attached our identities and our values to meaningless acts of consumption that are ultimately destructive not only to the Earth and other peoples but also to our self-worth and self-fulfillment.
I hope that you are just as moved and unsettled as I was when I learned the real story. Enjoy!

A Glimpse Into a Service Trip
By: Tori Mierkey~ Fall Break Service Trip Participant to South Omaha (Pixan Ixim and OneWorld)
Service trips encompass so many different experiences that it is hard to sum it up with this short video, but if someone asked me why I thought they should go on a service trip, I feel all they would need is a glimpse into a trip and they'd want to go. This video shows pictures from Pixan Ixim where I went for my Fall Break 2011 Service Trip. The community was so gracious, the feeling of accomplishment felt amazing, and I got to do it alongside my peers who became my friends.

The Steelers released their injury report for Sunday's game in Tennessee, and as expected, left tackle Max Starks and nose tackle Casey Hampton are out. That, of course, means Jonathan Scott and Chris Hoke are going to have to step it up.
In other injury news…
– Outsider linebacker Jason Worilds (shoulder) and wide receiver Emanuel Sanders (quad) are listed as doubtful. This could be an issue on special teams as these two guys combined for five tackles (out of 10) in kick coverage against the Falcons in Week 1. If Sanders can't go, I'd imagine fellow rookie Antonio Brown gets the call (hopefully in the return game, too).
– Conerback Bryant McFadden, wide receiver Arnaz Battle and quarterback Byron Leftwich are all listed as probable. Leftwich reportedly was a full participant in practice on Friday, though, Dennis Dixon is still going to get the start. Sounds like Leftwich could be an option for the Tampa Bay game next Sunday.

The sun sets behind the 2012 London Olympic Rings on Tower Bridge in London, on August 10, 2012. (AFP PHOTO/WILL OLIVER)
LONDON: Usain Bolt and his fellow Jamaicans may have the world record as well as gold in their sights when they run the 100 meters relay on Saturday, the busiest day for medals at London 2012 when 32 golds, from sailing to taekwondo, will be decided.
On the last day of competition in the main Olympic stadium, packed every day with capacity 80,000 crowds, Mo Farah's bid to add the 5,000 title to the 10,000 crown he won last weekend could give the host nation the perfect end to the meet.
Organizers will then have less than 24 hours to prepare the arena for the closing ceremony on Sunday, which artistic director Kim Gavin said would be a celebration of British pop music from the last 50 years.
The Spice Girls, One Direction, George Michael and The Who are expected to perform as London prepares to bid goodbye to what the Guardian newspaper dubbed the "feelgood Games".
Games chief Sebastian Coe declined to compare London with other Olympics, but said simply: "I'm pretty pleased with the way we've delivered."
He added that the sport was not yet over and among the highlights on a packed Saturday will be the men's soccer final between Mexico and Brazil which the five-times World Cup winners have never won.
Saturday's London Olympics program also sees five men's boxing finals, the women's basketball, volleyball and handball finals, and a men's hockey final between rivals Germany and the Netherlands that could be a classic.
The sprint relay gives 100 and 200 champion Bolt the chance to better Jamaica's world record of 37.04 seconds set in last year's world championships and win his sixth sprint gold in two Olympics.
If Jamaica's relay squad wants inspiration, it need look no further than the United States. women's 4x100 quartet who left their Jamaican rivals trailing on Friday and took more than half a second off a record set by East Germany in 1985.
The U.S. men look certain to push Jamaica all the way on Saturday after running 37.38 seconds in their semi-final, the third fastest time ever, while resting two of their best racers.
Jamaica, resting Bolt, were only 0.01 seconds slower.
Farah is world champion in the 5,000 but looked tired in the heats and may find that challengers such as Ethiopians Dejen Gebremeskel and Hagos Gebrhiwet, Kenya's Isiah Kiplangat Koech and American Bernard Lagat have fresher legs.
Dubbed "Usain Bolt on water", Britain's Ed McKeever won the men's K1 200 canoeing gold, the first to be awarded in the new shorter and more explosive Olympic distance.
That took the hosts to 26 gold medals, comfortably beating their Beijing tally of 19 and the highest in over a century. It puts them third in the overall medals table, which the United States top with 41 to China's 37.
The shadow of cheating loomed large over the athletics late on Friday when two former dopers won gold.
Asli Cakir Alptekin, who served a two-year ban for doping from 2004, led a Turkish 1-2 in the women's 1,500, a distance riddled with drugs in recent years.
Russia's Tatyana Lysenko, who watched the 2008 Olympics on TV while serving a two-year doping ban, won the women's hammer.
Also appearing in the men's 4x100 relay semi-finals were American Justin Gatlin and Briton Dwain Chambers, both time-served drugs cheats.
France and Kenya confirmed pre-Games positive tests on distance runners Hassan Hirt and Mathew Kisorio, Kenya strongly denying Kisorio's allegations that blood-doping and steroid use were widespread in Kenya.
Saturday's men's 50km walk was missing defending champion Alex Schwazer of Italy, excluded from the Games for using the blood-boosting erythropoietin (EPO).
The race was won by Russia's Sergey Kirdyapkin, who set an Olympic record of three hours 35 minutes and 59 seconds.
Coe reminded reporters that the Games had not yet finished but said he was looking forward to the closing show titled "A Symphony of British Music".
"Party, party, party," he told a news briefing when asked to describe the final act in a drama-filled few weeks.
As well as a "hit list" of more than 30 popular songs from the last 50 years, it will feature thousands of athletes and performing volunteers as well as a section devoted to the next summer Olympic hosts, Rio de Janeiro.
"I think it's a gift that we've got Rio next because their eight minutes is so wonderful and really full of that samba beat," Gavin said of the 2016 hosts. "It's really creative and very cultural and feels really great."
At Wembley on Saturday, a Brazil soccer side boasting Neymar, Oscar and the tournament's top scorer Leandro Damiao are under pressure to live up to their status as favorites and improve on their silver medals of 1984 and 1988.
The women's basketball final sees France try to derail the all-conquering U.S. team.
