Third Class Medical in the News Again,...
Anvilbrother replied to ChrisD's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
THIS I am a 32 year old firefighter, that does MMA 2-3 times a week, hikes 6 miles a couple times a month with a 30 pound ruck sack through the swamp. I drive a firetruck, have a CDL drivers license, but cant get my private pilots license due to having been diagnosed with ADD in the past. I was even off the meds for 90 days before I went to get my class 3 medical. I function totally fine without it, and my prescription even tells me not to take it every day. For a 6 month period I only get 4 refills. Regardless even if I stop taking the meds, and get cleared by the doctor to not have ADD I still have to spend THOUSANDS to take these tests to prove I have not suffered any eye or neurological damage from taking Vyvance for ADD. Even if I do take all these tests its just supporting data for the flight surgeon, and not a guarantee that I will obtain my medical. All this shit and its not even for commercial flying. The complete Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales (Processing Speed and Working Memory Indexes must be scored) Trail Making Test, Parts A and B (Reitan Trails A & B should be used since aviation norms are available for the original Reitan Trails A & B, but not for similar tests [e.g., Color Trails; Trails from Kaplan-Delis Executive Function, etc.]) Executive function tests to include: Category Test or Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and Stroop Color-Word Test Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT). A continuous performance test (i.e., Test of Variables of Attention [TOVA], or Conners Continuous Performance Test [CPT-II], or Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test [IVA+]), or Gordon Diagnostic System [GDS]. Test of verbal memory (WMS-IV subtests, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, or California Verbal Learning Test-II). Test of visual memory (WMS-IV subtests, Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised, or Rey Complex Figure Test). Tests of Language including Boston Naming Test and Verbal Fluency (COWAT and a semantic fluency task). Psychomotor testing including Finger Tapping and Grooved Pegboard or Purdue Pegboard. Personality testing, to include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). (The MMPI-2-RF is not an approved substitute. All scales, subscales, content, and supplementary scales must be scored and provided. Computer scoring is required. Abbreviated administrations are not acceptable.) Additional testing: If problems are noted on tests of reading or math, follow-up testing with appropriate achievement tests should be conducted (e.g., Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement-III; Nelson-Denny Reading Test, especially Fluency and Comprehension; WRAT-IV Math; PIAT Reading Comprehension). CogScreen-Aeromedical Edition (CogScreen-AE) is recommended but not required. NOTES: (1) All tests administered must be the most current edition of the test unless specified otherwise; (2) At the discretion of the examiner, additional tests may be clinically necessary to assure a complete assessment. What must be submitted? The neuropsychologist�s report as noted above, plus the supporting documentation below: Copies of all computer score reports (e.g., Pearson MMPI-2 Extended Score Report, TOVA, CPT-II or IVA+ Report). An appended score summary sheet that includes all scores for all tests administered. When available, pilot norms must be used. If pilot norms are not available for a particular test, then the normative comparison group (e.g., general population, age/education-corrected) must be specified. Also, when available, percentile scores must be included. Recommendations should be strictly limited to the psychologist�s area of expertise. Psychologists with questions are encouraged to call Chris Front, Psy.D, FAA Psychologist, at (202) 267-3767. What else does the neuropsychologist need to know? The FAA will not proceed with a review of the test findings without the above data. The data and clinical findings will be carefully safeguarded in accordance with the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2002) as well as applicable federal law. The raw neurocognitive testing data may be required at a future date for expert review by one of the FAA�s consulting clinical neuropsychologists. In that event, authorization for release of the data by the airman to the expert reviewer will need to be provided. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

I dont think that any single biker from that group would have the balls to do that alone. Its the pack/mob/gang mentality. When they all get together they think what they are doing is ok, and there is less of a chance of getting caught, or a better chance of getting away. Basically THEY ARE PUSSIES, not like hells angels, or some other meth biker gang. Hell about 4 of them ride dirt bikes. I bet a gun out the window would have them scattering as fast as those jap bikes could get them. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

You are the Juror. George Zimmerman trial
Anvilbrother replied to wayneflorida's topic in Speakers Corner
I have also watched every....single ...second of this trial, and agree. Zimmerman is innocent, both medical examiners were unwilling to state just facts, without adding a story to cover their asses, and the judge is so biased it isn't funny. Zimmermans account as well as all the witnesses are all the same. The evidence such as clothing and gunshot distance also line up with his story. It's beyond a reasonable doubt, and the state never presented anything to suggest that. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along, -
You are the Juror. George Zimmerman trial
Anvilbrother replied to wayneflorida's topic in Speakers Corner
How can both medical examiners be allowed to act the way they did. The first female one would not answer yes or no questions, and was biased to the point of almost not acknowledging that zimmermans injuries could have occurred by more than one impact. Now dr bao was found to have pre prepared notes to go by, wouldn't acknowledge notes of the case in his own files. He also did not follow the chain of custody when removing the clothing or had any notes of that, and said that the wet clothing would never be put into a plastic bag, and if it was the person would be fired the next day. Well we all know that the clothing was wet and molded in plastic bags when inspected by the other experts. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

It's two different things. What did snowden leak? That governments have the ability and are spying on terrorists cell phones? They knew that shit probably before 1993 in Somalia, he didn't release any secrets to the "enemy". Snowden released info to law abiding citizens who are expecting reasonable privacy from their government and were being raped by them. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

All 3 links are taken from the science tab of google's news section. I did not search for anything, just clicked to see todays news. Link#1 LOWER pollution levels linked to worse hurricanes. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jun/24/pollution-natural-disasters Link#2 Global temperatures up only 0.11f over 15 years, admits their models are probably wrong is why we are not seeing rising temps with increased CO2 emissions http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/global-warming-temperature-very-close-zero-over-15-years Link#3 "Climate records have been broken throughout the world this year. Thus, the tempareature rises have been compared to an atomic bomb." "Cook noted that for the past two decades, 97 per cent of scientists agree that human activity is causing warmer temperatures. But, he added, the public is misinformed and believes that scientists are about 50/50 on the issue." http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/32206/20130623/climate-change-atomic-bombs-hiroshima-global-warming.htm Get your shit together guys, you have some saying we are "exploding nuclear bombs every second", some saying we are all wrong, temps have almost risen 0 degrees in 15 years. Some saying we are creating "hurricanes like Katrina, and sandy due to rising pollution levels", and some saying pollution is actually DROPPING, and that's what is causing bad hurricanes. I know its science, but I have never seen opinions this spread out over a topic. You would hope we would find out what is actually going on then try to fix that, instead of taking action and doing all sorts of expensive things on something they cant even agree on.

EMT in West, TX Arrested for Possession of Explosive Device
Anvilbrother replied to Kennedy's topic in Speakers Corner
I will throw my thoughts in on it. He had no part of the plant explosion, and it was just an accident. Following the explosions people in his area learned about 34-0-0 and its explosiveness. He gets curious, and tries to make some reactive targets to shoot, or some little fun maker small pyrotechnics with no misintentions to do anyone but have some fun in an open field. Someone finds out, and turns him in, everyone on edge thinks 9/11, bomb!!! Guy gets arrested. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along, -

It's ok I got this guys. Ask your instructors/coaches/s&to what you should be flying. If you have to ask then in most cases yes. You will want to be at or better yet below a 1:1 wing loading, that means the weight of all your gear yourself and breakfast needs to not be over your canopy size in sq ft.

I haven't seen anything new passed, or have ever heard you could legally buy a gun for anyone else. Here in La. as of a month ago when I bought my 870 from bass pro there is a box that you must check that says you are purchasing the firearm for yourself and will be the sole owner.

Feds spend MORE ON POVERITY than what workers earn.
Anvilbrother replied to OHCHUTE's topic in Speakers Corner
Wendy I understand what you are saying when you are asking people for solutions to the problems they are posting about, and you have been saying it alot. I agree with you we need a solution, but constantly saying that to everyone that posts a thread highlighting a government problem seems to me like you are saying if you cant fix it dont bitch about it. Thats like NASA firing someone who found a faulty wire on the space shuttle because he found the issue and reported it but at the time did not have a fix for it. Im sure the person who found it (unless it was his fault it was bad in the first place) would not get harassed by others. I think in this case half the government is the problem, half is the one reporting the issue, and replacing the whole damn thing is the solution! Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

Its all based off off projections and ASSumptions. here is the March 15 2012 cost ASSumption from the CBO.
