Hat Creek Rim
General Description: Hat Creek Rim is located in the Lassen National Forest. It's a 1,000' ridge that produces consistent ridge and thermal soaring conditions and has excellent glass-off conditions during the summer. With views of Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta, it is one of the more beautiful places to fly in California.
"Nearly 1 million years ago, active faulting
gradually dropped a block of the Earth's crust (now Hat Creek Valley) 1,000
feet below the top of the Hat Creek Rim, leaving behind this large fault
scarp. This fault system is still "alive and cracking."
The Hat Creek Rim with its gentle late afternoon, early evening thermal uplift, known as "Glass off," provides a unique opportunity for hangliders and paragliders. A launch site and parking area have been constructed on top of this 1000 foot escarpment for this purpose, along with two landing zones directly below the launch. A U.S. Hang Gliding association Intermediate rating is recommended for flying this world famous site." (USDA Forest Service)
Season/Flying Conditions: The most consistent flying generally occurs during the summer months (June through September). During this time, strong south and southwest winds are typical in the afternoon, resulting in strong thermals and turbulence. The flying conditions during the day can range from light soaring conditions in the late morning to strong thermals and ridge soaring (for HGs) by mid-afternoon. If you fly during the mellow morning conditions, you should be aware that the transition from mellow to strong often occurs very quickly. Most PG pilots choose to wait for late afternoon or early evening glass-off conditions. The site usually mellows in the evening (~ 6:00 PM) and the glass-off begins. The glass-off can last until sunset during the summer. Watch out for a sudden loss of lift and stronger wind as the glass-off finishes for the day. And beware -- the mosquitoes can be vicious in the LZ at dusk.
Pilot Proficiency: PG and HG pilots flying Hat Creek Rim should have an USHGA foot-launched, Intermediate rating and be proficient in Restricted Landing Field (RLF), Turbulence (TUR) and Assisted Windy Cliff Launch (AWCL). Please obey the ridge rules and use caution when flying with faster/slower moving aircraft, as PGs and HGs share this site.
Launches: Hat Creek Rim has two launch areas, the front launch and the back launch. Be aware of the density altitude when launching. Please keep all roads clear and remove all litter.
Front Launch - Located on the front ridge, the front launch is the primary launch for PG and HG pilots. It has a large parking and set-up area. There is a toilet, but no shade or water.
Back Launch - The Back Launch is located a mile or so south on the back ridge, adjacent to an old Forest Service lookout. The Back Launch is a cliff launch and is used primarily by HG pilots. The Back Launch should be used by seasoned veterans only.
LZs: Hat Creek Rim has three designated landing areas. The #1 and #2 LZs are below, and easily visible from, the front launch. The #3 LZ is in front of the back launch, but it is not visible from launch and it has no permanent windsock. Pilots should visit and inspect the landing areas before flying. Be prepared for a pronounced wind gradient in all landing areas.
#1 LZ - The #1 LZ is directly below, and visible from, the front launch. It is the primary LZ for PGs and a bailout LZ for HGs. The #1 LZ can be technically demanding for HGs and it is not recommended for novice HG pilots.
#2 LZ - The #2 LZ is the largest LZ and is most frequently used by HG pilots. Generally, the wind comes from the west or southwest. This requires the pilot to use the width of the LZ to land. Density altitude and a wind gradient (the wind at tree-top level can be strong, while the wind at ground level is minimal) are key factors to consider when landing. Mid-afternoon landings in the summer can be treacherous. The most friendly time to land is when the shadows have crossed the field and the conditions are mellowing. The north half of the landing area is private property. We've been asked not to land, camp, park or breakdown on this property. A line of very small white rocks, and the permanent windsock, indicate the property boundary.
#3 LZ - There is no permanent windsock in the #3 LZ. There is sparse, small debris and low brush in and around the area and you will land slightly uphill. Check the LZ before you fly. Landing before 6:00 PM during the summer can be demanding. There is a 540' ridge (part of lower Hat Creek Rim) 2,481' directly upwind of the #3 LZ. The road into the #3 LZ is not improved and requires good ground clearance (2WD/4WD). There is little shade and no water is available. It's a 1.2 mile drive from the main (22) road to the #3 LZ. The access road (where it leaves the 22 road), has "LZ" carved on the south side of a small stump.
XC Flights: All cross country flying should be done in an easterly direction (behind the ridge). The entire Hat Creek Valley is private property and it has no designated landing areas. Please respect the wishes of the private landowners by not landing on private property. We are very fortunate to have the support and respect of the local residents and landowners and we can maintain this respect and support by supporting and respecting them and their wishes.
Access: There is 2WD access to the front launches and LZs. Please drive carefully and moderate your speed. The main dirt road leading to launch is well-traveled, as are the roads in and out of the landing areas. Watch for oncoming traffic. The roads in and out of the landing areas have been improved for our convenience. Please don't drive on them when wet conditions can cause damage.
Flying at Hat Creek Rim is permitted through a Special Use Permit issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture--Forest Service. The site is patrolled by Forest Service Law Enforcement Officers. You should conduct yourself in a manor within the law. Citations have and will be issued to anyone who fails to recognize and comply with the law.
Accommodations/Amenities: Fireside Village (530.335.4505) is one mile from the Hereford Ranch Campground and six miles from launch. They have a small grocery store and restaurant. The restaurant has a comfortable country atmosphere and serves home-cooked meals. The store has an assortment of typical small store items.
You can get current PG/HG information at the Fireside Village or at the Pilot Bulletin Board located on the side of the store. Check The bulletin board prior to flying for site particulars, Forest Service notices or other important information. Fireside Village often monitors Ham radio frequencies. The frequency they monitor is often posted on the bulletin board. This could be helpful in the event of an emergency. They also repair and sell radios.
Gas is available in Burney and at the Old Station Chevron (530.335.7117), located on Highway 44, ~10 miles south of Fireside Village. They have a small store, ice, propane, etc.
Hat Creek Hereford Ranch Campground and RV Park (530.335.7171) is six miles from launch. It has campsites with shade (and some on grass), hot showers, fishing, swimming, a children's playground, washers and dryers and a small store. There is usually space available, but you should call in advance to reserve a space on holiday weekends.
Camping: "Dispersed camping" (aka "dry camping") is permitted near launch and in LZ #1.
Generally, no fires are allowed in any of the flying areas at Hat Creek Rim after the end of June and no fires are allowed outside of designated sites, with the exception of portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel. Designated sites include developed campgrounds, picnic areas and signed fire safe sites. Smoking is not permitted, except in an enclosed vehicle, building or at a developed recreation site or other designated fire safe area. Operation of internal combustion engines is only permitted on roads or on designated trails. (A road is a minimum of eight feet wide and can be traveled by a 2WD vehicle, without the exhaust touching vegetation. A designated trail is indicated by a sign or marker.)
If you plan to camp away from a developed campground, please comply with all fire regulations and/or restrictions. Your free "REQUIRED" campfire permit is available at the USFS center on Hwy 89 (just south of Fireside) and at the Old Station Visitor Center and CDF in Johnson Park. Campfires in the LZs (and outside all established campgrounds) are usually banned by the end of June due to fire danger. Check for current fire restrictions.
Other Activities: Hat Creek is located in the Intermountain Area communities of Burney, Fall River Mills, Hat Creek and Old Station. In the shadow of Lassen Peak, seven campgrounds and four picnic areas are nestled along ten miles of Hat Creek. The are abundant opportunities for fishing, hiking, camping, picnicking, wildlife observation and natural history. Lava tubes, dormant and extinct volcanoes, massive lava flows and fault lines reveal a volcanic past.
Burney Mountain: Pilots flying Burney Mountain should have a P3/H3 rating (or equivalent skills) and be proficient in RLF, TUR and AWCL. Burney Mountain is located across the valley from Hat Creek Rim. The setup area at Burney is at 7,800' MSL. The only LZ for Burney Mountain is at Burney Springs, located on the southeast side of the mountain. Burney Springs is reachable (if you come from the town of Burney side) by following Tamarack Road around the mountain, four miles beyond the turnoff to the lookout. You will pass it directly if you are approaching from the Hat Creek Rim side. Access is 2WD.
Fly-Ins There are usually fly-ins over Memorial Day weekend, the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekend.
Emergencies: The locals usually use 146.415. The local repeater is 147.030. If there is fire bomber traffic in the area, don't fly. If you're already in the air, land immediately. The closest hospital is Mayers Memorial Hospital. For EMTs, call 530.336.6511.
The Local "911" Emergency Number is 530.252.6632.
Acknowledgements: Thanks to the United States Forest Service, the Northern California Foot Launched Pilots Association and the Shasta Sky Sailors for their continued commitment to the area. Improved launch and landing areas, parking lots, roads, etc., are a direct result of the excellent relationship between these groups.
Directions: Take Highway 80 East towards Fairfield. Merge onto Highway 505 North. At the Highway 505 Exit, bear left (Northwest) onto Highway 5. Go 128 miles and turn right (East) onto SR-299. Go 55 miles and turn right (South) onto SR-89. Go 11 miles and turn left onto Doty Road. On your left, you will see Fireside Village. You can stop at the Fireside and pick up a site guide at the pilot bulletin board or in the store.

Next weekend, months of hard work by a group of Professional Writing (PW) alumni and students will finally be seen in action. The Middle of the Mitten (MOTM) festival has arrived once again, hosting its fifth annual celebration of local music from January 24th-26th in East Lansing and Lansing.
Created by PW alumnus Joel Heckaman when he was a sophomore, Middle of the Mitten's first festival took place in January 2009. What was originally a simple rock show to celebrate the first anniversary of The Record Lounge, an East Lansing record shop, has expanded each year, now including three nights at three different venues. The organization is currently working on its 501(c)3 and Registered Student Organization statuses while still hosting a music festival every January, and a Rock for Relief local music marathon in April for charities and disaster relief.
One of the most beautiful things about this organization is its deep roots in the PW program. Both are about creating opportunities to take skills learned in the classroom and apply them to projects that matter. PW and Middle of the Mitten are, at their cores, about creation, passion, and the drive to become engaged with issues that connect with students' interests.
"The first two festivals, I did almost everything by myself," Heckaman remembers. "I got a little benefit from my experience with local music, and people in the community helped me get started, but almost all of the success in launching the festival came from what I was learning in PW classes at the time."
MOTM really began to take off when PW faculty Jon Ritz stepped in during 2010 and offered to help, based on his extensive background in communication, marketing, and writing. Having helped ever since then, he balances between providing academic support and real world expertise. Professor Ritz makes himself available in person, in his office, and through consistent email communication, helping MOTM network and connect with those in the community and throughout Michigan.
Around the same time that Professor Ritz began his work with MOTM, Dan Nufer and Reanna Trombley—PW students at the time—jumped right in as part of an independent study. Trombley was the graphic designer, using the skills she learned in class about document design, web graphics, and creating public identity. Nufer, as Assistant Director of MOTM, used his PW knowledge of public relations, marketing, and writing.
PW alum Mike Kulick and I, a current senior, have served on the Middle of the Mitten board since September 2012 after both joining the organization in 2011. Kulick, a graduate of the Technical Writing track within the major, led a diverse team of current PW students in designing this year's logo, t-shirts, banners, flyers, and more. They worked hard to create visually-appealing items and applied their knowledge in designing a brand strategy by creating items that represent MOTM's past and future.
"Promotions, logistics, development of original content and the ability to be agile are just a few of the requirements when working with a local music festival," commented Kulick. "All of these are skills that were aided by my course work in Professional Writing."
As a board member of MOTM, and a student in the Editing and Publishing track, I lead a talented team of marketers who, in some cases for the first time, take skills learned in the classroom and apply them to real-world applications. We work together to create and write interviews with musicians, contact print and radio media, promote the festival through social media, manage blogs, and more. Each member, ranging from freshmen to seniors with a variety of experience and previous internships, bring a unique set of skills learned from dedicated faculty and mentors.
"Between Ritz, Nufer, Kulick, Gines, and our other Board member [Kyle Brown, Olivet alum and local musician], we've got just about every imaginable skill set necessary for putting together a great festival—and I think we have. It wouldn't have been possible without the help of all the other students—PW and otherwise—as well, and I think they are going to launch Middle of the Mitten to yet another level in the years to come," said Heckaman.
This year's Middle of the Mitten 5 begins with a free kick-off party January 24th at The Record Lounge, followed by an indie-folk night January 25th at Scene Metrospace, and a solid rock-out night January 26th at The Loft. The entire lineup features musicians from the state of Michigan.

In what would be bad news for military wallets, a new report by Rand Corp. says the timing is right to limit the size of military pay raises.
With "extraordinarily high" recruiting and retention and current pay levels that have troops well compensated in comparison to their civilian peers, a Rand Corp. report released Monday says there would be little harm in limiting military pay increases to a level below the average annual growth in private-sector pay.
Smaller military raises are "unlikely to hurt capability and readiness," the report says. "Where needed, bonuses and special pays can be used to manage recruiting and retention and do so more cost-effectively than across-the-board pay actions."
The report is titled, "Should the Increase in Military Pay Be Slowed?" It was prepared for the Defense Department which, not coincidently, is proposing to limit future pay increases beginning in 2015 to only a fraction of the annual increase in private-sector wages.
Rand researchers said that military pay has, in some regards, outperformed private-sector wages in recent years. Since 2000, civilian pay has slightly decreased after adjustment for inflation while military basic pay increased by 13 percent.
The Rand report suggests three options for cutting pay.
A one-time cap that limits the increase in basic pay to half a percentage point less than the average private-sector increase, which would save $5.2 billion over 10 years, the study estimates. If applied to the 2013 raise, this would give service members a 1.2 percent increase on Jan. 1, rather than the 1.7 percent increase included in the Obama administration's defense request. The 1.7 percent hike matches the average private-sector increase last year, as measured by the Labor Department's Employment Cost Index, or ECI.
A one-year freeze, with no increase in basic pay, which would save around $17.7 billion over 10 years, Rand estimates. This would apply only to basic pay rates, and would not eliminate pay increases that come from promotions or for passing longevity steps in the military pay scale.
Capping basic pay raises for four consecutive years at half a percentage point less than private-sector increases, which would save $17.5 billion over five years, the report says.
Pay caps would have a downside, the report acknowledges. In what service members and their families likely would consider an understatement, the report says the military community is "likely to find a decrease in the rate of growth of military pay unwelcome," especially while troops are still in combat.
Pay caps could be "interpreted as a signal of waning support for the war effort and a lack of appreciation for the personal sacrifices of service members and their families," the report said.
In a recent report on long-range defense costs, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicted that Congress would be unlikely to go along with a Defense Department request to cap future military raises, even if money gets tight.
Rand, however, says that a one-time pay freeze or one-time pay cap has the best chance of passing because they would be viewed as short-term responses to the high unemployment rate in the civilian labor market and an effort to reduce deficit spending.
Longer-term cap caps would be harder to sustain, especially if the civilian job market improved to the point that military recruiting became more difficult and mid-career service members decided to leave the ranks to take civilian jobs.

Ever applied a foundation and said wow? Nope, neither have I but boy was I impressed with this foundation. I usually apply heavy coverage foundations with my fingers before my moisturiser sinks in so I'm left with a dewy yet flawless finish, I find this stops it from enhancing any dry patches or looking cakey.
This foundation definitely lives up to it's name as it stays in place all day long and as bad as I feel to admit it, even after sleeping in it ( everyone has those lazy moments right?) the coverage is just right as I don't find it to be that heavy at all and it's definitely not uncomfortable to wear. One foundation that I will actually re purchase, it's a miracle!
L'oreal False Lash Telescopic Mascara
A mascara that's somewhat comparable to Benefit they're real but without those spider leg ends. I find this mascara to add a lot of length as well as enough buildable volume without looking clumpy or crispy (damn those crispy ends). This mascara also looks lovely on my bottom lashes, something that I often fail to find with other mascaras. I used to be a massive wand type of girl that longed for those huge mascara wands that were bigger than my actual eye but have been totally won over as I find this wand to give better results without a million blobs of mascara circulating my eye area.
005 nude
Ever tried a white eyeliner on your water line then realized it looked a bit odd? I know I have many times after wanting to banish those tired, red and damn straight depressed looking eyes. This nude toned eyeliner is honestly a savior, it opens up your eyes instantly making you look more awake. The staying power is wonderful but not 24'7 wear yet long enough to be praised for.
A lovely bright coral colour in an amplified creme formula that feels moisturizing and comfortable on the lips with lovely colour pay off. Bold lips with neutral eyes are an easy way to look more polished when you want a simple make up look or want to feel more confident (not dead). Vegas Volt does this for me every time, not as much precision needed to apply as a bright red yet not dull or any where near boring.Not much else to say about this lipstick other than I'd definitely recommend taking a look when next at your local Mac counter.
I actually received this product free in Harper's Bazaar and am head over heels!, now first impressions weren't all that great if I'm honest, all I could smell was sage until I actually applied this product onto bare legs. You only need a tiny amount of product and it leaves your skin feeling amazingly moisturised and looking amazing, the consistency is definitely not one of a typical body butter it's almost like a moisturiser/primer in one, I even prefer this product over my body shop body butters which I think are fantastic. The Bliss Body Butter keeps your skin feeling hydrated all day long and I will 100% be ordering a full size tube.
Diesel Loverdose
I could be here all day trying to describe how amazingly perfect this scent is but it wouldn't do it justice so I will copy and paste a description from online then add my own thoughts.
"Loverdose by Diesel is an addictive floral and oriental fragrance, with notes of mandarin, liquorice, jasmine and vanilla with a gourmand base."
First things first don't be put off with the liquorice aspect it settles down revealing a sweet yet musky tone that almost fits in with an own body scent, I'm not too sure what I mean but you know when you smell someone and think " I like their perfume?" this is more of "I like the way they smell", as I said I'm useless with this so just test it out and be amazed! It definitely ups my mood and made me ready for the day ahead.
What are your beauty pick ups?

Louisiana Boys CEL is on
Ok I have gone to autozone many times and it passes I bring it to a wholeseller I know and it throws P1316 & P1247. I searched on here a lil and it says the IDM and a turbo boost pressure I think. To me the truck runs fine except in the morning when I first start it. It runs ruff until it warms up then runs fine all day after that. I know the plugs need to be replaced but my thing is I don't want to spend $500 on a IDM from autozone if that's not the problem.
also when he took the oil fill off there was either steam or smoke, what was he checking and is there something wrong?
What and where should I start?
Also I'm in Lafayette does anyone know a fairly priced mechanic around here?
P1316 Injector Circuit/IDM Codes Detected
P1247 Turbo Boost Pressure Low
First, the scanners at AutoZone are not sophisticated enough to communicate with a PowerStroke. You need a high end scanner like AutoEnginuity. The IDM code could have come up with an intermittant connection of the under valve cover harness, a fairly common and extremely easy problem to fix. The low turbo pressure could be a leak or a bad MAP sensor - also fairly easy to fix
Second, the crankcase on the 7.3 passively vents to the cold air intake. The blow-by gasses on a gasoline motor get sucked through the PCV valve using engine vacuum. The diesel doesn't make vacuum so they just let them drift into the cold air. By taking the oil filler cap off, he was just looking to make sure there wasn't excessive blow by (bad rings or cracked piston)
If it runs good, I think you should just clear the codes and run it for a while. Don't waste money throwing parts at codes. Check the codes again in a few weeks and see what re-appears. If the same code shows up, start tracking it down using deductive reasoning. In the mean time, read here about checking out your glow plugs:
both the harnesses are tight and the light comes right back on after they are cleared. I'm trying to sell it so I need to know where I should start. I know I have some plugs to are either bad or disconnected. Do I need new valve gaskets when I do this?
How to fix the map sensor cuz I do have DIY intake that has been on for over a year now.
Also this the first time in 3yrs the light has ever come on, why now?
Last edited by jsimonff; 03-24-2010 at 06:07 AM.
Are the harnesses tight on the outside of the valve cover or on the inside? The inside is where they normally are loose. The valve cover gaskets are re-usable unless you have pin damage (should be able to tell with a visual inspection)
Is your MAP sensor not hooked up? That would cause a lot of problems. If it is hooked up, make sure the hose is not corrupted.
I think you are going to need to put a scanner on it that monitors the MAP sensor as the engine is running, and need to do a continuity test between the IDM and the individual injectors if you are sure the UVCH is good. I'm not saying your IDM isn't bad, just that I would rule out wiring/connections before I got a new one. And if you do get a new one, you can get a rebuilt on e-bay for less than 200 bucks.
Take it to Hub City Ford on I-49 . Thats if you want it done right. As far as mechanics go. They have not failed me yet. they are the only ones i trust

To win the Big East Conference men's basketball championship, you have to go through Georgetown. It's written in the league's DNA. Ask Rick Pitino.
It was true in the 1980s, when Pitino first tried to show the world the frenetic magic he could create at Providence College. It's just as true today as his University of Louisville team tries to win its first Big East title by handling the Hoyas on their home floor, where they are flawless this season.
"You come to Louisville to play in games like this," said Darrell Griffith, the star of U of L's 1980 NCAA championship team who made the trip here yesterday. "It's like playing an NCAA Tournament game to get you ready for the real tournament. It's exciting."
Games like this are why Pitino wanted U of L to leave the confirmed comfort of Conference USA for the relentless rumbles of the Big East. If you can win big in the Big East, you can win big in March and April. To win big in the Big East, you have to win against Georgetown.
'Head to navel with John Thompson'
Pitino discovered that at Providence. When he took that job in 1985 he was a brash, imaginative 32-year-old coach trying to separate himself from other brash, imaginative 32-year-old coaches. To succeed in the Big East meant you had to succeed against Syracuse, St. John's and Georgetown -- and its mammoth coach, John Thompson.
"I remember standing there head to navel with John Thompson, ready to duke it out with him," Pitino said, smiling.
Thompson landed most of the blows. The first two times Pitino's Providence teams played Georgetown, they lost by 31 and 15.
Pitino's central nervous system is not wired to tolerate that -- even if the Hoyas were punishing everybody in those days. Providence beat Georgetown by three the first time they played in the 1986-87 season.
"(Thompson) shook my hand, put his arm around me and said he was so proud of the job I was doing at his alma mater," Pitino said. "Then he said, 'We're going to kick your butt the next time we play you.' "
And so it went. Georgetown won the rematch by 11 and beat the Friars by 18 in the Big East Tournament semifinals.
Said Pitino, "I remember telling our team, 'Don't get down. They've had our number, but we're not going to play Georgetown again, so don't worry about it.' "
Pitino and Providence won their first NCAA Tournament game. They won a second. They came to Louisville for regional play and eliminated Alabama.
Pitino's team needed one more victory to reach the 1987 NCAA Final Four -- a win against Georgetown.
"That game was never close," Pitino said.
No, it wasn't. It was the victory -- Providence 88, Georgetown 73 -- that made Pitino a national name, a coach who would soon direct the New York Knicks, the University of Kentucky, the Boston Celtics and U of L.
New chance for Pitino
Pitino has taken four programs to the NCAA Tournament, three to the Final Four. He's won the national title and national coaching awards. One thing Pitino has not won is a Big East title.
Opportunities like this make his adrenaline percolate. Pitino vs. Thompson's son, John III. Louisville vs. Georgetown, a pair of teams with 14-3 league records. The winner gets the trophy.
The Hoyas' seniors are trying to achieve something the program's other great players could not do -- win back-to-back Big East regular-season titles. Georgetown leads NCAA Division I in field-goal defense, allowing opponents 36 percent shooting. It's closer to 31 percent at home.
"If you beat Georgetown at Georgetown, you're doing something special," Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said.
Beating Georgetown at Georgetown is the way you're supposed to win a Big East title.

Vachel can be mean for his own insensitive amusement, but I sometimes wondered if this strip went too far. I always justified it in thinking that in this case it's NOT that he's this mean, it's just one of those moments when he REALLY wasn't thinking.

You may not have noticed but the P&G coupon insert has some IMPORTANT changes in it! Every coupon now states you can only use 4 "like" coupons per shopping trip! In other words, you can only use 4 of the same P&G coupon each time you shop. Please be careful from now on so you don't end up paying more than you expected because your coupons couldn't be used.

Someone please explain this to me. I am VERY new at all this; and, upon reading the fine print it says: Limit one coupon per purchase of products and quantities stated. Limit of 4 like coupons in same shopping trip.
Does that mean that I can only use 4 P&G coupons per shopping trip?? OR . . . ??
Thanks, much.

How Much Should I Charge?
Originally published: 1/1/10 by Ruth King
There is a better way to accurately price jobs—you determine your profit.
This seemingly simple question stumps many contractors, because they don't understand true costs. They look at their income statement which shows great gross margins and losses on the bottom line. They think, "I'm already the highest prices in the area ... what is wrong?" Or, they see terrible margins and great profits on the bottom line. They think, "There must be some mistake."
We have progressed as an industry. We've gone from the early seventies pricing, using markup where we thought that markup is the profit we're making (totally wrong), to using margin to calculate prices (which is OK if you have equal costs between labor and materials). But, there is an even better way to accurately price jobs. This method also gives you some decisions as to how much profit you want on a job. This pricing methodology uses gross profit per hour, overhead cost per hour and net profit per hour decisions.
Why is overhead cost per hour important? Because if your company's overhead cost per hour is $50 per hour and your competitor's cost is $30, he can charge $160 less than you for the same eight-hour
1. Calculate your overhead cost per hour. To do this:
a. Determine the total number of revenue producing hours you had in 2005. This is your field labor total payroll hours less their non-billable hours. Or, think of it as how many hours did you bill for?
b. Get your total overhead cost for 2005.
c. Divide: Overhead/total revenue producing hours.
2. Get an accurate labor estimate for the job. Here's where you can go wrong. You must be accurate with respect to the number of hours that the job will take. Make sure that you include travel time, running to the parts house and all of the other miscellaneous hours that should be billed to that job. Once you know this number, you can then calculate any price you want.
3. Calculate the total direct cost for the job. This includes the cost of labor, materials, subcontractors, warranty, service agreement, freight and tax (if any).
4. To calculate the overhead that should be applied to the job, take the total labor hours (NOT COST) and multiply it by the overhead cost per hour.
5. Add this sum to the direct cost for the job.
6. Add the commission you will pay. This is your break even for the job.
You now have a choice. You must decide how much profit you want to earn for the job. During slower times of the year, you might want less profit than busier. This is where you earn your pay as the business owner or sales manager.
Using gross profit per hour and overhead costs per hour can help you with accurate pricing for high labor or high material jobs. This methodology is also the best way to handle pricing during slower times of the year when you want to lower prices, but may not necessarily know by how much.
This method also tells you how productive your field labor is. If a job should come in at 16 hours and instead it comes in at 12 hours, you've earned more profit. Find out why this happened and repeat it again and again. Likewise, if you estimate 16 hours and it comes in at 20 hours, find out what is wrong and don't repeat it again.
By using this pricing methodology, you'll never have to ask the question, "How much should I charge?" again. The decision, based on accurate numbers, is yours.

I was out of the loop for a couple of days. Football game, Concert, Jager Chicks party. I give Jager a ton of credit. They might not hire the hottest Cheerleader type chicks but most of the Jager girls I've hung out with are cool as fuck and are passionate about the music and the bands they promote. If you're in a band you'd be surprised how easy it is to get sponsored by Jager. You might have to play a few covers to be able to book enough shows but trust me, it's worth it. Especially if you're young and just starting out. They treat their bands like GOLD!
Anyway, onto #7. One of the best songs ever. If you haven't heard it, check it out. If you don't have the Dark Angel - Darkness Descends cd you seriously need to go check it out. Until the day I die that cd will be entrenched in my Top 10 of all-time. I might go a year without listening to it and when I throw it in it always envokes such joy, anger and every emotion I have. I wish this lineup had made 1 more cd but it wasn't meant to be. As much as I like the next 2 cd's they put out this one is more raw and fast and has an energy matched my very, very few.
Speaking of raw and fast I included the Sadus cover of the song. Steve Digiorgio's beastly bass makes it total ear candy. Enjoy!
#7 - Dark Angel - Merciless Death
Sadus - Merciless Death
3/3 - Hell Yeah
3/31 - Coal Chamber & Filter
5/16 - Clutch & Mastodon

Proper age for biking?

I would wait until the bones are fully developed, around 2 yrs. We got our Rescue GS at about 15 months. When we got him, he had no muscle mass on his hind end. It took us about a year to get his weight and muscles developed to a healthy point. This was done thru walking/hiking, then eventually jogging. Last Fall I started him riding along side the bike. We worked our way up from a mile to 12 miles. Most of the time he is at a nice trotting pace. This was over the course of about three months. He loves it...when he knows he's going he starts prancing all around.
To help your pup become familiar with a bike, you can walk him several times along side the bike up and down your drive. I plan on doing this several times a week with our new puppy as he will need to learn this for the AD down the road. When we start to really train for it, it'll be natural (that's the thought anyway).
Good luck! Make it fun and your pup will love it!

Mark Sunday: In our last conversation we discussed the many dimensions of a mobile-first strategy. Let's take a closer look at how the Internet of Things is impacting mobility.
Suhas Uliyar: When you say "mobile computing," most people think of smartphones and tablets. But there is a much broader category of mobile devices within the Internet of Things. There are billions of intelligent endpoints connected via cellular, Wi-Fi, barcode scanners, and other types of network communications. Some of these devices include new types of user interfaces, such as smart watches and virtual reality glasses. Others are simple machine sensors, motion sensors, RFID tags, video cameras, and other intelligent endpoints that record events or gather data. Today's cars are the ultimate mobile device with full displays and sensors that track everything from inside the car to the environment near and outside the car.
Mark Sunday: How can CIOs maximize the opportunities available with mobility?
Suhas Uliyar: Smartphones and tablets not only provide mobile access to data and applications but, increasingly, they are enabling a whole new set of transformational capabilities. For example, I use a mobile banking app to review transactions, transfer funds between accounts, and so forth. All this is great, but if my bank were really smart, they would use this app to inform me about special programs and offers, things that would entice me to execute more transactions with the bank.
The hospitality industry offers another good example. I can use a mobile app to book a room or check out of a hotel. But if I'm arriving with my family, the hotel might suggest additional amenities. For example, we might want to book a pool cabana or take a tour, making our stay more pleasant and driving revenue opportunities for the hotel.
As an enterprise, you have to think about how to build the app, how to integrate the app, how to secure the app…but that's just the start. How do you deploy the app to thousands of users? How do you support those users? And, finally, how do you create a mobile strategy that is transformative for the business?
Mark Sunday: How do these trends impact enterprise computing?
Suhas Uliyar: Many transformative applications are emerging to pull these devices into the enterprise process flow. Consuming data and being able to act upon events and alerts from these devices will become progressively more important. On one level it is an extension of the BYOD phenomenon: The enterprise is challenged with building an application once and running it across a huge spectrum of devices within the Internet of Things, not just the various flavors of Android and iOS, not just smartphones and tablets, but also new types of devices and interfaces that are starting to emerge.
Mark Sunday: Can you give us some industry examples?
Suhas Uliyar: We are seeing a classic convergence of mobile, IoT, cloud, and big data analytics in healthcare. Doctors can remotely access patient information from sensors that monitor vital signs. There is a correlation with big data since you can analyze data from thousands of patients and correlate that data with information about treatments and outcomes. Meanwhile, healthcare practitioners can interact with each other, and with their patients, via video conferencing. All this can be done through wireless communications leveraging location-based services.
Another emerging area is augmented reality (AR) with new user interfaces such as Google Glass. For example, instead of lugging around a laptop to look at mechanical schematics of wiring and pipes, a technician might view a 3-D rendition of the mechanicals through a Google Glass interface via AR and using voice as an input mechanism to enter data, which is converted into structured or unstructured data in the back end.
In the utility industry, smart grids and smart meters can be part of an intelligent network that helps people consume energy much more efficiently, with incentives and rebates for cutting back during peak periods. This is another great example of a transformative business application and model that utilizes mobile, IoT, cloud, and big data analytics.
Mark Sunday: What are some of the transformative mobile apps that use global positioning system (GPS) technology?
Suhas Uliyar: Enterprises can use location-aware devices to track the movements of thousands of people and things. For example, transportation companies can gather data from planes, trucks, and carriers to optimize routes, maximize truckloads, and streamline dispatch activities. Heavy equipment manufacturers can embed sensors in their equipment to predict maintenance issues and track performance. Integrating that data with a field service process helps technicians know when to replace parts to avoid failures and breakdowns.
Mark Sunday: How is IoT fueling new types of collaboration among the workforce? How does it enable business processes that you simply couldn't have done with a more tethered approach?
Suhas Uliyar: Consider field service again. A technician often doesn't know what parts he needs until he is onsite and has diagnosed the problem. If a part doesn't happen to be on his truck, he might have to go back to the warehouse or call in an order for that part, which causes delays for the customer. However, by sharing information with other technicians, a location-aware inventory system can instantly tell him that another technician just 3 miles away has the part he needs on his truck. Converging with that person can save time and improve customer service.
A distributor can use similar technology to optimize merchandising tactics by monitoring which configurations of food and beverages sell well in various locations. This can inform real-time inventory shifts. Maybe a display is not configured correctly or a store isn't running the right promotional campaigns or discounts. Sharing data makes the entire chain more profitable.
Mark Sunday: Today's mobile devices contain identity information and they always know our locations. How can businesses leverage these capabilities to deliver valuable services?
Suhas Uliyar: We've already discussed a few industry-specific business examples. There are many others that relate to selling products and services. A good portion of today's consumers are not only happy to tell you where they are, but also what they are doing. Status updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social networks can combine location information with an individual's likes and dislikes. This opens up a huge category of possibilities for segmentation and targeting within retail, travel, and hospitality. In the retail industry, having an "omni-channel" strategy is a must since consumers use a variety of different devices based on their location and convenience. For example, you could be browsing for an item on your iPad at home. As you leave home with your smartphone, you receive an offer for that same item. As you get close to the store or in the store, you receive a notice that the item is in stock. This type of targeting strategy is transformative for the consumer and the retail enterprise.
Mark Sunday: What are the associated privacy issues for today's enterprises?
Suhas Uliyar: Privacy comes down to ensuring the security of content and data for the business. It also involves some trade-offs. For example, if you want to use Google Maps, then Google knows exactly where you have been and where you are going. I'm willing to accept that fact because I want to use the app. The issue is, as a business, how do you make sure that enterprise content is secure? How do you make sure that you are giving information to the people who are authorized to have that information? How do you make sure that when employees leave the company you can wipe sensitive content without impacting their personal data? You discussed some of these issues in your interview with Amit Jasuja. Suffice to say, IT continually walks this tightrope of maintaining control without adversely impacting the user experience or compromising privacy.

Students, teachers, parents celebrate new Vero Beach Elementary School
VERO BEACH — Although it has been open since August, students, parents, faculty, district officials and the public came together at the new Vero Beach Elementary School for an official dedication ceremony on Thursday.
"This is not just a dedication," said Schools Superintendent Fran Adams. "It is also a celebration. The Vero Beach Elementary School spirit is intact and we are celebrating this new building, and what a building it is."
Indian River School Board Chairman Carol Johnson said it was a wonderful way to celebrate the patience that teachers, students and parents showed during the yearlong construction process.
"What a day, what a day," said Johnson. "You have a community that appreciates you and honors you. We are so proud."
Retiring Principal Bonnie Swanson said the entire 730 members of the student body are so appreciative of the new school building. The former school next door was razed.
"We want to thank you for your vision and your belief in us, and for choosing for the old school to be replaced," said Swanson. "We are forever grateful."
Swanson said the building is designed to be a great oasis in the heart of the city.
"We planned this school to protect the environment," said Swanson. "We have a lot of green space and want to take care of it so native animals and plants can thrive."
Architect Rene Tercilla from Tercilla Courtemanche Architects was at the building full of children for the first time on Thursday.
"From the beginning, the people involved in the design and construction wanted to build a school that was comfortable for the children," said Tercilla. "We believe the environment affects the way a child learns."
Longtime Vero Beach resident Alma Lee Loy was at the dedication ceremony and said she attended the old Vero Beach Elementary from 1935 to 1941.
"This is a historic day as we all gather together to celebrate the long history of the Vero Beach Elementary School," said Loy. "It's a history that no other school in this district has."
She urged people to visit the historical art project hanging outside the school office to get a pictorial view of the school from 1915 to 2012.
"The project serves as a gateway for learning at Vero Beach Elementary," said Loy.
Retired Superintendent Dr. Harry La Cava, who led the Indian River School District when the new Vero Beach Elementary was proposed, said it's always nice to see a project come to fruition.
"There's always a struggle at the beginning of any project," said La Cava. "But we needed the new school and it's important to Vero Beach that the kids will have this building for the next 50 years."

DEXTER A year ago, the General Brown Central School District board discussed allowing its members to go to one conference, and receive other training online. Now, the board must consider how many members, if any, it wants to send to the New York State School Boards Association conference in Rochester this fall, as the districts fiscal situation is so dire it may become financially insolvent in just over one year. The registration fee is $460 per person.
Its quite expensive, Superintendent Cammy J. Morrison said. If we want to divide and conquer, one or two people could go. Im hopeful, since Boak will be going from BOCES, hell come back with information as well, referring to Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services Superintendent Jack J. Boak.
District Treasurer Lisa K. Smith said that with mileage, lodging and food expenses, the total rises to about $1,000 per person. With six people on the board now, board members agreed during their monthly meeting Monday that spending a total of $6,000 on a conference was not feasible. Throughout the 2013-14 budget planning process, members had decided to reduce spending by $1 million.
The question district administrators and board members had is that, although they agree knowledge and information gained during the conference would be worth the cost, should the board spend that much money on just one conference? The consensus Monday was that the answer is no.
If it comes down to it, Id like to attend anyway, said board member Sandy Y. Klindt, who said she wouldnt ask for reimbursement. I do think theres good information.
Topics of the 94th annual conference, to be held Oct. 24 to 26, include technology, student achievement, school law and employee relations, health, safety and school climate, finance and facilities, emerging educational trends and timely debate, cultural awareness and diversity, community relations and school improvement and board governance.
The board didnt make a final decision Monday, and will reconsider the idea during its September meeting.

Defense Bill Includes Ayotte Priorities to Support Troops, Military Readiness
Legislation also includes measures to strengthen Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Pease, and the NH National Guard
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Senate Armed Services Committee today approved its version of the Fiscal Year 2015 defense authorization bill, which includes more than two dozen proposals authored or cosponsored by U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH). Ayotte, who serves as Ranking Member of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support, worked to include amendments that strengthen military readiness, provide our troops the weapons they need, cut waste, reform the Pentagon's POW/MIA programs, address sexual assault in the military, and support service members and military families. The bill also includes priorities Ayotte fought for that are important to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Pease Air National Guard Base, and the New Hampshire National Guard. The defense bill now awaits consideration by the full Senate later this year.
"This bipartisan legislation supports the men and women of our armed forces while also improving efficiency at the Defense Department and eliminating waste. I'm especially pleased that the bill addresses key priorities at the Shipyard and Pease, which perform critical military readiness functions," Ayotte said. "I also worked to ensure that the bill specifically doesn't authorize a new BRAC round. Now is not the time to spend billions of up-front dollars on another BRAC round, especially as costs for the last one have dramatically exceeded expectations. We are still paying for the 2005 BRAC round."
She continued: "This bill also includes bipartisan legislation I helped author, the Victims Protection Act, to prevent military sexual assault and better support victims. It changes the status quo by eliminating the 'good soldier defense,' holding commanders more accountable for treating victims with dignity and respect, and ensuring that perpetrators are fully prosecuted under the law."
As part of her efforts to address the heroin crisis in New Hampshire, Senator Ayotte also worked to include in the bill provisions aimed at battling the drug trade - including an amendment that calls for Southern Command to devote additional resources to the detection, monitoring, and interdiction of illicit trafficking through South and Central America to the United States.
Protecting Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
As ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee, Ayotte opposed the Administration's request for another Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round in 2017. Ayotte, joined by Senator Shaheen, also worked successfully to include language that notes the Navy's failure to meet the statutory requirement to invest at least six percent of the average total combined maintenance, repair, and overhaul workload funded at the depots and public shipyards such as Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in infrastructure and capital assets. The language urges the Navy to adhere to the law and recommends funding increases which will meet the minimum capital investment threshold.
Senator Ayotte also worked successfully to include an amendment that encourages the Navy to utilize public shipyard infrastructure and expertise for unmanned underwater vehicle research and development. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has been working to support the Navy in this area of growing importance, and Ayotte's language supports that effort.
Supporting Pease and the KC-46A
The Readiness subcommittee, which Ayotte helps lead and which oversees military construction, authorized $41.9 million for facilities construction at Pease Air National Guard base in preparation for receiving the KC-46A tanker. Pending the results of an environmental impact study, Pease will be the first Air National Guard unit to receive the next generation tanker in fiscal year 2018. Ayotte has used her position on the Senate Armed Services Committee to advocate for Pease and the 157th Air Refueling Wing.
Working On Behalf of the National Guard
Mirroring a National Guard trend around the country, the average condition for assessed New Hampshire Army National Guard facilities was recently rated as 'poor' trending to 'failing'. Ayotte believes members of the New Hampshire Army National Guard-and service members like them around the country-deserve better. Senator Ayotte included language that urges the Pentagon to devote the necessary resources to military construction and requires DoD to provide details regarding neglected military construction requirements.
Victims Protection Act
Senator Ayotte was successful in including in the bill key provisions of bipartisan legislation she authored with Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Deb Fischer (R-NE) that better protect and support victims of military sexual assault. The measure eliminates the "good soldier" defense for cases of sexual assault, provides for victim input on whether or not their case is pursued in military or civilian court, and strengthens the role of prosecutors in decisions to go to court-martial.
Supporting Service Members, Veterans, and Military Families
• Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl: As part of ongoing efforts to urge the Department of Defense to do all it can to find Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl and bring him home safely, Senator Ayotte worked successfully to include a provision in the bill that presses Pakistan to fully cooperate in the search for SGT Bergdahl.
• Body Armor: Senator Ayotte included an amendment that directs the Secretary of the Army to conduct a technical study to ensure soldiers have the best possible body armor to protect them in harm's way.
• Prosthetics: Senator Ayotte's amendment directs the Department of Defense to assess the quality and capability of current prosthetics provided to service members compared to the best prosthetics available commercially to ensure our injured service members receive the most advanced prosthetics available.
• POW/MIA: Continuing her efforts to streamline and reform the Department of Defense organizations that are responsible for recovering American personnel who are prisoners of war or missing in action, Senator Ayotte cosponsored a bipartisan measure with Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to reorganize the accounting offices into a single agency. The provision designates one agency director for accountability, calls for strengthening public-private partnerships, and permits acceptance of voluntary personal support to ensure the department is making every effort to locate and bring our missing and fallen service members home.
Providing Our Warfighters the Weapons They Need, Cutting Waste, and Holding the Pentagon Accountable
• Cutting Waste. As Ranking Member of the Readiness Subcommittee, Ayotte voted for a $324.7 million reduction to improve efficiency and prevent waste, a $15 million reduction for unjustified Enterprise IT programs, and a $12.5 million reduction to the Logistics IT program for unjustified cost growth.
• Small Businesses. Small defense businesses promote innovation that protects our troops and reduce cost by encouraging competition. Ayotte included an amendment that calls on the Pentagon to meet contracting goals for small businesses and seeks to better understand the impact of defense sequestration on small businesses that provide our troops the equipment they need.
• DOD Audit: Continuing her leadership efforts to push the Pentagon to be a better steward of tax dollars and achieve auditability milestones, Senator Ayotte included an amendment to better monitor the Pentagon's progress toward achieving audit-ready financial statements. Ayotte has pressed the Pentagon to achieve audit readiness in order to help better distinguish between necessary budget cuts and those that would damage readiness.
Fighting Drug Trafficking and the Heroin Epidemic
• Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Resources to Fight Drug Trafficking. In her continued efforts to fight drug trafficking and the heroin epidemic in New Hampshire and around the country, Senator Ayotte worked successfully to include an amendment that calls on Southern Command to devote additional resources to the detection, monitoring, and interdiction of illicit trafficking through South and Central America to the United States. She also voted to support an additional $20 million for resources for Southern Command to support this effort.
• National Guard Counterdrug Program. Ayotte also included an amendment aimed at ensuring that the National Guard Counterdrug Program (CDP) keeps pace with the evolving nature of the illicit trafficking enterprise. The CDP plays an essential role in providing National Guard military capabilities and expertise to support the counterdrug activities of federal, state, and local authorities.
• DOD Medication Management: While prescription opioids can play an integral role in proper pain management and treatment of health conditions, these drugs can also be addictive when used improperly or not taken as prescribed. In order to fight the mismanagement of opioid prescriptions and ensure the best possible care for our service members, Senator Ayotte's amendment will ensure the DoD places a greater focus on proper prescribing practices and medication management for opioid drugs.

"Noise is an underestimated threat that can cause a number of short- and long-term health problems, such as sleep disturbance, cardiovascular effects, poorer work and school performance and hearing impairment.
Noise has emerged as a leading environmental nuisance in the World Health Organisation European Region and the public complains about excessive noise more and more often.
How loud is too loud?
The WHO guidelines for community noise recommend less than 30 decibels (dB) in bedrooms during the night for a sleep of good quality and less than 35 dB in classrooms to allow good teaching and learning conditions.
How many people are affected?
According to a European Union publication:
- about 40% of the population in EU countries is exposed to road traffic noise at levels exceeding 55 dB;
- 20% is exposed to levels exceeding 65 dB during the daytime; and
- more than 30% is exposed to levels exceeding 55 dB at night."
World Health Organisation 'Facts and Figures'
So traffic noise is a huge problem with chronic health impacts for large proportions of the population.
Great then that the BBC series 'Bang Goes the Theory' recently recognised the importance of noise in our lives.
When it came to traffic noise, however, it all turned slightly bizarre. Rather than exploring this 'underestimated threat' the editorial slant was that cars are getting TOO QUIET.
If you are quick you can catch the piece about 23 minutes in on iplayer: Bang_Goes_the_Theory_Series_6_Is_Life_Too_Loud
Don't miss the classic line, "As a cyclist, a loud car is a good car".

MAG Receives EcoStar Award for National Public Lands Day Work
Posted on: October 25, 2012 08:00 EDT by MC2 Alexia Riveracorrea
The Volunteer Center for Anne Arundel County will present the EcoStar award to the Naval Academy's Midshipman Action Group Nov. 8 for their recent environmental work at Greenbury Point Nature Center.
The award recognizes those who help create more environmentally and economically sustainable communities in the local area.
The midshipmen will accept the award at the Volunteer Project Hall of Fame Celebration, which honors local volunteer projects deemed to have the greatest impact on Anne Arundel County and the City of Annapolis.
In honor of National Public Lands Day, 43 midshipmen helped clean the public gardens and trails at the nature center Oct. 14, removing trash, weeding, and cleaning the gravel inflow areas.
"Keeping our natural area free of trash makes it more enjoyable to use, protects the nearby waterways from having trash washed into them, and helps protect the wildlife from accidently eating unnatural products," said Colleen Ruhter, stormwater program manager in the Naval Academy's Public Works Department.
The mids upgraded the center's rain garden, which they helped build last year, and refurbished the handicapped-accessible hiking trail. They also helped clear the overgrown Pipsissewa Trail, clearing weeds, vines and fallen trees, and using fallen trees as well as lumber to establish trail edges, said Ruhter.
Established in 1992 as a community relations program organized and maintained by the Brigade of Midshipmen, MAG currently offers a variety of educational, environmental and social service volunteer projects. Coordinated with community partners from the Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington D.C. areas, as well as regional and national partners, MAG averages over 20,000 hours of community service annually.
MAG provides reliable, diligent and enthusiastic volunteers willing to offer their time, talent and energy. MAG also hopes to better prepare midshipmen for future service by encouraging peer leadership, teamwork, character development, morale, selflessness and goodwill towards others.
