    Genetic screening and Aeromedical issues

    I'm in a discussion around the ethics of genetics and aeromedical issues. Currently, under FAA standards, does the holder of a Class I medical have to self-ground (or be grounded) upon the discovery of a genetic marker that indicates a 100% likelihood of adult onset of a debilitating disease...

    Autos: A family hauler

    Jessie and I are in the market for a new (to us) car. We're about to have a baby (4 months away, aiee). This car will be a) Jessie's daily driver (all errands) and b) our long distance hauler. We make 4+ trips a year to Boston / Maine; minimum one-way distance is 500 miles. The trips...

    Sgt. Sal Giunta: Interview

    http://restrepothemovie.com/ I've read Junger's "War", which is an outstanding book in it's own right. But this video is simply amazing.

    Good simulator control cluster?

    I built a HTPC and decided to run FS-X over it. I'm sick of the keyboard. Who makes a nice, comfortable, doesn't-feel-like-I'm-going-to-snap-it yoke, throttle quadrant and pedal combo? Cheers, -Andrew

    Avatar...

    A quick search of the forums didn't yield a thread, so... Jessie and I saw Avatar in 3D IMAX Friday night. Simply put, we were blown away. Yes, the story is simplistic, the well worn road of exploitation and greed; but the visuals are nothing short of awe inspiring. Peter Jackson raised...

    58P Baron and the flight levels

    I know at least one esteemed member of our PoA community owns and flies a P Baron. How are they up in the flight levels? For long distance trips (500-700nm), flying heavy, what is the average time to climb above FL180? There seems to be a premium placed on later Barons with true dual...

    Getting in trouble...

    Jessie went away for the day yesterday. I had an event in Charlottesville, and returned home late. Quick dinner, some work, and I was off to bed. I didn't do my dishes from dinner (strike #1). Jessie arrived back this afternoon. I ended up getting an ink stain on my office carpet...

    iPhone + VPN

    Howdy all, I have a 3GS 32g running 3.1.2. I work in a Cisco IPSEC environment. I know the shared secret, and so on. I've configured the phone; when I connect, it prompts me for my password, which I enter. Then, about 15 seconds later, it just flips back to "off" -- no error message...

    DFW PIlots -- In DFW 4x over next 8

    My fellow esteemed DFW based pilots (and Spike :D) -- I'll be in DFW 4x out of the next 8. I'm actually in town this week (leave tonight), but am booked solid for the week. I'm back next the weekend of Gastons (boo, I'll be in a windowless conference room arguing with people), but have a...

    The Hardest Lesson

    I was departing ORD yesterday, through a reasonable haze layer, thinking back to my (never ending) PPL training. Of course, hanging out with all of your friends, each one of them whispering "finish the damn rating", has a way of getting the old gears churning. -- The haze layer reminded...

    Breakfast 5/21 -- Chitown POA'ers?

    I'm staying at Dearborn and Hubbard... and have breakfast open. Who's downtown during the week? I can do early to late morning. Just be nice to see some PoA'ers! (If any of you are more adventurous, I may head out late to the Green Mill on North Broadway to hear Elling sing and get my jazz...
