Last blog (but more to follow…)
Posted May 31, 2012 3:05 pm by Lauren Forbes | Permalink
It's my last day with the John Murray Archive. I'm rushing around a bit and clearing desk and sorting out odds and ends. But I simply have to take time out to say what an absolute privilege it has been to work on this collection. It is simply awesome – so full of treasures, surprises, mysteries, clarifications, stories, hints, deep thoughts, trivial thoughts, humour, tragedy, I could go on and on: it is pure gold. I've already covered some of my favourites in other posts here:
James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, with his forthright, friendly and hugely entertaining letters;
Eleanor Farjeon, wisely and humbly accepting a rejection letter, but one containing encouragement that made her keep trying;
Florence Hardy making reference to somewhat obscure poet Charlotte Mew, described by Thomas Hardy as "the one woman of genius writing today";
two letters from eager schoolboy James Francis Hewitt, pointing out a mistake in a Latin grammar – further research showing that his life was abruptly cut short in the First World War, and all that potential lost;
Earlier this week I looked out some of these favourites for visiting friends, and for the first time caught sight of the two letters of Jane Austen to John Murray II, writing about "Emma" and asking could Murray get the printers to hurry up. I was truly awestruck… I feel the same way about the Darwin letters, and love that crucial one which begins:
Dear Sir, I have heard with pleasure from Sir C. Lyell that you are inclined to publish my work on Origin of Species…
(That is from memory, so please forgive any small mistakes – no time to check!)
There are letters from highly eminent and well known correspondents, and letters from people who are completely unknown, and hard to identify. But they all add up to this unique and vastly valuable collection and resource. You can find out more about the archive here: http://digital.nls.uk/jma But why not come in and see some of these letters for yourself? I doubt very much that you would leave disappointed. Meanwhile thank you for keeping up with this blog. More to follow as the work continues…

Billy Crudup Gossip
Billy Crudup gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
White, Grey, and Billy
Last night, New York D&G party, Kate Hudson arrived in a white fluffy coat and grey booties with friends and also Billy Crudup, who could also be a friend. But that hasn't stopped gossips from buzzing that they're an item. If so, it was likely one night only. Love that she's such a dude when it comes to dating and you will note, unlike the Parises and the Lilos and the Britneys, even though she's probably made out with just as many if not more men of late, the "S" word has never been used. Full Story
Blotchy Karma Face
Billy Crudup was a beautiful man. Now…not so much. Last night at the Tisch School of the Arts event in NYC – as you can see, Billy looks bunk and a far cry from how pretty he once was before corrupting Claire Danes and leaving Mary Louise Parker when she was 7 months pregnant with his child.

Rating: 4.50 out of 2 votes cast
Very stylish
I ordered this cardigan in the royal blue stripe and it is a perfect match for my Chadwick's long royal blue skirt. I wore the two pieces together and received many compliments. Keep up the good work Chadwick's.
Phoenix, AZ
versitle cardigan
This sweater fits me perfect. I usually have trouble with sleeves being too long, but not this time. I'm 5'3" and on the petite side. I orignally bought it to wear over a knit dress that I bought through Chadwicks, but I had to return the dress because it was too big. I kept the sweater because it fit so great. I wore it with a black pleated skirt and red jersey tee. It would also look great with knit dresses and dress pants. I plan to wear it often this summer to work.

Sherman: Seven year, $143m extension should keep Wright with the Mets
In his column for the New York Post, Joel Sherman says "ten officials" outside the Mets organization believe if the Mets offer David Wright a seven-year, $127 million contract extension, in addition to his $16 million option for 2013, that should be enough to convince him to stay with the Mets.
The total suggested package would be for eight years and $143 million, and that would make Wright the highest paid player in franchise history.
However, all ten of Sherman's officials believe topping both Johan Santana's six-year, $137.5 million and Ryan Zimmerman's total package of eight years and $126 million are important to Wright.
With that said, all ten of the officials Sherman spoke to believe the Mets will sign Wright to an extension.
"This would be a pretty good deal for both parties," another NL executive told Sherman of the suggested deal. "[Wright] is still a very good player and when you look at his age and position, there is a little less risk than most guys entering their 30s."
On Thursday, Andy Martino of the Daily News said the Mets were still in preliminary discussions with Wright on a new contract, although Sandy Alderson has already discussed the team's long-term plans with Wright.
Michael Baron, ContributorThe average annual salary of the suggested deal, including his 2013 option, is a shade under $18 million a year – the extension itself averages just above $18 million per season. And, the suggested deal wouldn't even be on the books for next year, at least nothing more than the value for his option which existed anyway. I think that's a fair and reasonable deal for a star player in New York, and the Mets should sign him at that figure. If the Mets can get something along those lines done – and soon – it would end the questions, speculation and uncertainty about Wright's future, but it would also go a very long way towards showing the Mets are once again capable of investing big money in the marketplace, even if they don't intend to do so this winter. That's important considering what the perception is of their abilities to make payroll investments now.
I expect the Mets will exercise Wright's option for next season no matter what – they have until five days after the conclusion of the World Series to get that done. As I've said, the language from both sides indicates there is strong mutual interest to get a deal done. But it's not reasonable to set a timetable on it, nor is it reasonable to think the Mets can snap their fingers and get a new deal done. The Mets have publicly stated they intend to handle Wright's contract situation different than that of Jose Reyes last winter – considering how that turned out, their words are encouraging. But actions speak louder than words, especially as they try and change the perception of the state of the franchise.

Apple has lost another prototype in a bar, which may bring the memories in the past from when they did the same thing. It is not known exactly why these prototypes have been lost in the bars, but it is apparent that Apple employees are meeting with one another at these locations that are accidentally leaving behind prototypes of some of their most popular devices. The most recent unreleased unlocked iPhone 5 prototype that was found in a bar was lost in the bar Cava22, a very popular bar in the San Francisco area. It was reported that Apple quickly tried to recover the device, and the phone was quickly track to a house in the San Francisco area.
They were able to get to the house and find a young man in his 20s who had been in the bar earlier. The man, after being questioned and not knowing about the phone despite the fact that outlaws were not for the phone and also offered a no questions asked deal that would allow him to sell him the phone and never have to deal with any legal ramifications as a result. The phone was then later sold on craigslist for a total of $200 to acquire that turned out to be unknown. It is not currently clear house source knows of the sale, but it is clear that the phone did eventually end up on craigslist for a total of $200. If Apple continues to lose prototypes of their favorite devices in the bars I frequent, you can bet that they are going to have a hard time with being allowed to remove the protons from the company in the future. There have been multiple problems with these type of issues, you can bet that Apple is going to look for ways that they can nip this in the bud and continue to go about business as usual.

The links below contain information on estuaries. An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from the land measurably dilutes saltwater from the ocean. This mixture of water types creates a unique environment that is critical for the survival of many species of fish, birds, and other wildlife. They provide safe spawning grounds and nurseries for fish and shellfish, ideal resting and refueling places for migratory birds, and habitat for many reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Marshes and other wetlands, which often fringe estuaries, protect marine life and water quality by filtering sediment and pollution from upstream sources. Estuaries also create natural protection to coasts and shorelines from damaging storm waves and floods.

Free City street tree program back - applications due March 16
Tree benefits:
Keep our air fresh by supplying the oxygen we breathe and absorbing the carbon dioxide emitted by factories and engines. Some trees also trap and filter out dust and pollen on their hairy leaf surfaces.
Save energy. Trees are natural air conditioners - they lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves. Trees can also reduce home heating and cooling costs. Large, broad-leafed shade trees are most effective shading the east and west windows from summer sun while keeping south-facing windows open to the winter sun reduces the need to heat in winter.
Act as barriers, which help cut noise pollution and slow strong winds.
Stabilize soil and prevent erosion. Trees also absorb and slow down stormwater, which keeps pollutants out of our waterways.
Provide food for humans and animals and shelter us from direct sun on hot summer days.

Elephants gearing up for wine release party
WINSTON, Ore. -- The elephants at the Wildlife Safari are training up for their big show at next month's wine release party.
Back in October, George the elephant stomped some of the grapes used to make the wine from Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards.
The Riesling is bottled and ready for it's release on May 20 at the park.
Besides a good time, trainers see it as a great opportunity for people to learn about the animals.
"Having people meet them up close and in person is the opportunity that is really going to connect people with these animals, and really make them passionate about protecting these species in the wild," said senior elephant trainer Katie Alayan.
Part of the proceeds from the wine will go to conservation programs.
Park officials also see the release party as a great combination of major businesses in the area.
Dan Van Slyke, the Executive Director at the park, told KPIC News, "The wine industry is a relatively new thing in our area and it has really taken off. We just have a perfect partnership. We, along with the wine industries are tourist destinations."
Alice and George have been practicing for the show and have been putting a personal touch to some of the items that will be given to guests at the party.
There is only a limited amount of wine, and tickets for the event are $50.
For more information, you can contact the Wildlife Safari.

I was recommended by several clients and then by my own Dr. I went a couple of yrs ago for back pain . I walked in with serious pain and walked out 90 percent better! I went again about two wks later although I didn't even need it by then. I am back again, this time for digestive issues and food allergies. I highly recommend Hellen and her staff.and kudos to my client and friend Jeanne who kept pushing me to go that first time. Thank you!!!

Was referred to Helen by my Gynecologist who sees her for a sleep issue. I've only been to see Helen twice, but am so impressed with her! I have MANY issues to address and my sinuses was on the bottom of my list. After 1 treatment for pain, my sinuses opened up for the 1st time in 20 years!!! I'm still seeing her to manage my long-term pain & sleep issues and I know it will not be resolved in just 2 sessions. Helen is very caring, compassionate & competent!

I was referred by my GI to Helen. She was highly recommended. I've been seeing her and her daughter Jennifer for months now and I've highly recommend both to family and friends for the treatment of all kinds of medical problems. My treatment covered multiple areas of pain I was having and Im very pleased with the relief I feel. Helen is very caring, concerned, and kind to her patients. These days this kind of concern is far and in between. Highest praise for this practice.

No I am not the real Jai Eugene from LSU. Or as Jai is known at Tennessee as "the one that got away". I am retired Army Aviator that happens to have a blog that produces sometimes relevant Tennessee Vols content. Sure those dicks over DawgSports and the MGOBlog say we are a little "analysis challenged". Maybe it had something to do with me helping to defend their first amendment rights overseas while they were out shopping at the mall. Anyway, we have been around since 2006. Been mentioned in GoVolsxtra, Sports illustrated, ESPN, the Atlanta Journal and Deadspin to name but a few major left wing sports media that seem to think we do a pretty good job.

E-mails have been sent out by Unlocked Palm Pre to the webOS developer community intimating them of Palm's intention of a waiver for the $50 per application submission fee that is required to get on the apps catalog. Moreover, Palm has also said that all current developers are eligible for a refund of their fees submitted previously.
After its takeover, LogicHP considers Palm and webOS to be "A great source of mobile fun, its not all sunshine and rainbows". The number of apps in the webOS store has leveled out at around 2,600 for quite a while. The rather stiff $50 submission fee was also a substantial deterrent to coders who might have been interested in developing apps for the PalmOS platform.
By following the present policy, Palm would have to pay over $100,000. This is not really that hefty a sum, considering its acquisition by HP. Moreover, in a market dominated by the likes of the iPhone 4 unlocked Handset and Android operating systems for mobile phones, this may seem like a sensible investment to boost the interest of developers and coders thus giving a shot in the arm to application development for the PalmOS platform. And the App Catalog could definitely use the extra apps that may be coming due to developers homing in on this "too-good-to-be-true" opportunity.
This is a rather unusual move to entice developers by Palm. Earlier they had waived the submission fee and reviewing process for open-source apps. The present move may also be a desperate attempt to increase sales of its smartphones - the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus.
There are several disadvantages to this as well. This literal opening of doors may result in spam, bug-prone apps, loss in robustness integrity of code due to an unrestricted submission policy and a lack of quality control.

Serpent in Eden The final utopia of Thomas Lake Harris and What Happened There A segment from a work in progress Gaye LeBaron The responsibilities that weigh heavily on the founder of a whole new dimension in the relationship of God to Man must have sat stone-like on the slight shoulders of Thomas Lake Harris in that winter of 1874-75. Some serious soul-searching surely preceded the transcontinental move from Brocton, New York, on the shores of Lake Erie, to Santa Rosa, California, just 30 miles from the Pacific Ocean. For if you are a prophet, you must have weighty reasons for your every action. A prophet cannot, or does not, just pick up and move across the continent like anyone else – or for anyone else's reasons. He must have motives that transcend worldliness. And if you are the Primate and King of the Brotherhood of the New Life, bent on resettling the center of your all-new, all-harmonious world from one end of the United States to the other, you cannot say simply that the climate is better or the farm land is good or the grapes will grow well. These are worldly reasons. Thomas Lake Harris was many things but he was rarely mundane. He was the Father; the Pivotal Man in a whole new concept of Christianity. And Being a handy man with words he was not hard put to find extraordinary explanations for a move that his disciples were later to explain in the simplest of terms. Harris scholars have had no difficulty collecting Harrisian prose that applies to the relocation of the Brotherhood of the New Life. Out home centre was removed to California in 1875, ten years after it had been shown that a place of final retreat had been prescribed, in these regions, then almost a wilderness. This was made apparent, visually no less than mentally, whilst composing The Great Republic. Returning from these wonderful solar experiences, the writer saw himself pictured, in future time, as dwelling in the vicinage of the great forests of sequoia, near the Pacific, where, mingled with the sighing winds among the evergreens, might be heard the murmur of the not far distant ocean… In other published references Harris lays it all in the lap of his favorite celestial influence, Queen Lily of the Conjugal Angels- his "mate" in the counterpartal world: After remaining and laboring over three years in the service of the group at Brocton, Lily herself, by the immense effort of her persistence and holding in and for my external, became depleted of the substance of energy in her ultimate luminous body and I, in my own social labor had become so wasted of the fine elements forming for my own new naturehood that she finally said that, 'she was losing her power of hold, and that I must perish outwardly, if I remained longer here;' –a fact of which I was well convince in my own organic knowledge. The newspaper serving the Brocton area couched the news of the new colony in much less highflown language: "Harris left town in February to avoid the severity of our winters and is now located in California. Several of the members here are soon to join him in his new location. It is rumoured that his possessions in Portland, 2,000 acres, will be sold, but of this nothing definite is as yet known. Everything in regard to this singular people to outsiders is a mystery." There is little doubt that the harshness of the Eastern winters had some influence on Harris's decision, celestial

I think the FAA needs to realize the problem is not the initial qualifications of the pilots, but the reduced training due to automated aircraft and pilots not knowing... remembering... how to fly their planes when they lose their automation. This is a training issue. More hours do not necessarily make safer pilots.
I agree with you. I think it is just training issue and not flight time. I think a good training program would be the ticket. One that does not punish the pilot by getting them fired when they fail, and allows them to become better pilots buy allowing them to train better on there mistakes. Also makes them fly the aircraft manuly and not relying on automation all the time. Not knowing how to fly the plane or handle the problem will still exisit even if they have atp.
One more thing, I think they should require at least 1000hours as a CFI. I think that helps some even when they may losse some skills but gain many more as a CFI. Not an ATP.
Why is instructing necessary to make it to the airlines? I never got my CFI, landed my first airline job with about 1300 YY, over 1000 of it multi.
where did you get 1k multi time? My son is cfii, but has to buy multi time at 250 per hour? Again, where do you get experience, in today's world, if you need experience to get experience? His dispatcher at the flight school makes more than him, gets a salary, and has benefits, while he gets paid for flight hours, when the weather is fliable, and gets no benefits or guaranteed income? It is a shame for a four year college educated person with all his ratings!
I was an airport rat. Fueled airplanes, washed them, helped the mechanics work on them, washed rental cars, etc. I got some time from aircraft owners, maintenance flights, that sort of thing. After a while your name will get around and opportunities to fly multiengine aircraft will open up. I got hired soon after to fly right seat in a Beech 18, then 337s after that. That company ended up with a Learjet, which opened a few doors.
I'll admit I was lucky to be in those situations, but my friends who instructed logged their time quicker.
I wish your son the best. This legislation will make the road tougher, but quite possibly make the investment more worthwhile.
In response to the commnt requiring an Instrument ticket prior to a Private...the argument is at the bottom of your paragraph and it supports flight time as an experience builder. Just because you have an Instrument ticket, you still need the flight hours to build an experience level that will give you the judgement and decision making skills to keep you and your passengers from hitting " high speed dirt". You can have all the licenses in the world but without time and experience, that macho attitude will never be questioned by that internal voice. I had a multi engine, Commercial ticket and a couple of hundred hours and knew I was prepared for the world. Now with 23000 plus ( stopped logging) i know better than to think my license and good looks will save me.
I'm not sure I understand where this glut of experienced pilots is coming from. Most of the regionals are hiring now and have been for the past 6-12 months. A couple even dropped their mins below 1000. Eagle was hiring very aggressively up until the bankruptcy and dropped mins to 500/50. The 5th anniversary of the age 65 rule is this December, so the retirements should pick up again. And most of the airlines are either growing their fleets or holding steady.
Mike: I think it's kind of a gradual thing but as the legacies are reducing capacity and lanes, you are having senior captain's & FO's coming into the workplace and basically just getting snapped up by the regionals. Why hire somebody off the street if you have that kind of experience walk into your office. You also had that retirement wave off AA prior to their bankruptcy and there have been some go since then, and there will be others before that deal is done. The regionals are just licking their chops to get these senior guys but it will definitely make it harder on new entrants.
As someone trying to rack up hours for my private, it seems like getting into the airlines is an impossible goal.
STick with it, this resorts to the old system of instructing being a solid route to build experience and flight time. It is just meant to force some of the regionals to hire more seasoned pilots. We can all only hope that will equate to more equitable pay scales.
your just starting so not impossible but yes you are a LONG ways out yet
Instead of raising bar in one area, why isn't the FAA looking at raising the bar from the ground up when one starts their private pilot training?
The last thing we need is make the private ticket any harder...look at the rate of completion over the last few decades.
Getting the IR before the PPL in it's own way really does make better sense.
What kind of training will my son get tooling around in a 172 for hundreds of hours. Sure, being a CFI helps him to develop critical thinking skills and decision making. But he needs to be in an aircraft flying with a sesasoned veteran learning how to navigate weather, icing and TRW, emergency procedure, CRM, etc. The training environment should be as a resident in a hospital surgical suite. The resident assists, watches and learns, then does the procedure with the watchful eye of the surgeon, then is released to do it himself. That is how confidence and experience are gained. Real world expereience is what is necessary.
There really will be a pilot shortage after this gets rolled in and a wave of retirements hit.
Experience, but where? 15000 flight hours does not necessarily prepare for landing in Buffalo/icing conditions.
Clearly, it's hard to objectively quantify experience -- that's a problem we see today with people that have most of their experience in the pattern either receiving or giving dual, but for most people, that's the only way to do it with the rules and economics as they are today.
If they are going to do this (which it sounds like they definately are) they need to modify either the ATP to the age 21 or they need to make a limited atp per say for fo's. I dont know who decided that age determines experience but I dont see how age has anything to do with it. You can bring up the maturity thing but I've seen LOTS of immature 23-year-olds. Maybe the pilots could use a few more hours for mins however it was always my understanding that the fo was there for emergencies, to help eliminate some workload, and also partly trying to gain experience with the more expierienced pilots. I personally think this rule is a little rediculous especially since everyone still goes through the company's training be an fo or a captain. Anyone know if it will be possible at all that the current younger-than-23 pilots will be grandfathered in or are they going to be layed off?
I am like you Stan on the age thing. Most folks take it in steps anyway and the next one up should be available as soon as someone has completed the others and is ready to progress. I have seen guys at 18 take forever to get each progressive ticket just because they either didn't have the resources or weren't serious about it and some having to hang on to a commercial forever just because they weren't "OLD ENOUGH" for their ATP. I also agree with you on the maturity thing. I brought up an FO that same way on a 757. Liked the kid and he was sharp. He stayed there over 20 and now has the left seat and a brand new 767-200, BUT, he knew what he wanted and was willing to work to get it.
yes thankyou someone sees what i see. and generally the people under 23 that are in the spot to get their ATP are serious, mature, and self-starters being they did study hard to get where they are. I am currently working on my commercial license and my instructor is 20. He is pulling his hair out over this deal and he is more than capable to move up but he is getting screwed by this. Even though he is an instructor and works full time he goes home at night and cracks the books and studies more because he has some small hope that the airlines might just take him. He just told me yesterday he is starting to see why 80% of people who start flight school dont finish because they get down on not being able to move on. he says right now his dream is stuck and fading fast for a few years. He worked really had to get where he is now and i would hate to see this happen. Also they are talking about letting a 4 year school graduate with an aviation degree get an ATP with 1000 hrs. To me this is stupid seeing as i go to a 2 year program (Iowa Lakes Community College still 141) and have the same ground schools and certificates and ratings that they do when i graduate? I would think that after pushing through it and keeping everything fresh in your mind for 2 years would be better than crawling through it in 4 and forgetting half the basics you learned in private. I would like to see their reasoning behind that one and of course it is not finalized yet.
Well, it seems like college is everything these days to a lot of people, even if it's a 4 year drunk course but then you have a college degree and your smarter than everybody else.
couldn have said it better:-) i know a guy who did it all 61 got a good job right off the bat and hasnt set foot in a college. does the same job as so many others but gets paid less because of it and i think that is rediculous...
Google Captain Jacob Van Zanten. Then tell me how much experience is enough?
Well, Van Zanten was certainly well experienced. They have blamed Tenarife on hetrodyne, fog, and everything else, but buried deep in the report is his high/mighty attitude and constant harangue of the controllers to get them out of there as the fog lifted. He was KLM's fair haired boy and he knew it. Wiki calls him introverted but that is being nice and an understatement. KLM pilots called him a kiss ass and royal prick.
yes the thing we all need to understand is that were all human we all make mistakes. The families from the buffalo accident do have my sympathy without a doubt but with all the car crashes why dont we have to be 23 to drive? some states dont even make people take drivers ed anymore! i feel like people blow aircraft accidents out of proportion. they are sad and we should be safe but as long as man flies man WILL make mistakes. fact of life.
Good point on the accident stats. I think we obviously have a safe system and excellent training or this would have been addressed by the FAA long ago. The focus should be on quality as well as quantity although they both have their on merit. I also think ATC deserves a lot of credit for the safety of flight especially when it comes to convective weather and their teamwork with pilots.
[This poster has been suspended.]
they need to start paying a real salary for airlines pilots. You'd be amazed how much more skilled talent you can get for 100k per year
They definitely need to look at the RJ pilots, but as long as somebody will work for that, it ain't gonna happen
That bottom part " also included in the rule: confuses me, the part about a pilot needing 1000 hrs; maybe I'm reading it wrong but it sounds funny
Wayne, I think they mean that to be a captain, you need 1,000 hours in turbine aircraft to be eligible for captain. My son has almost 1500 hours, but having hard time getting a f/o position because most are looking for pilots with jet time. This is going to make it even more difficult for these young people to get hired. How do you get all this experience if you need experience to get in the right seat? Another catch 22.
Kinda like insurance companies are holding truck drivers to these days. They have to go with some fly by night or rinkey dink to gain experience to drive for somebody decent. My suggestion is probably some small corporate or cargo job, but with so many experienced pilots out there right now, it may be bad hard. Ain't an easy answer but some strong prayer
He shouldn't have a problem getting on with a regional without jet time. Me may be short on multi time though. With 1500 TT he is marketable as long as he has the multi time. Feel free to PM me through the message board on here if you want some extra info.
THanks Dash, he did interview with a corporate FBO recently, also had some good references, but the other two guys had type ratings and turbine time. We know the owner of the company very well, but these other guys had been furloughed and so how could he compete with that. Doesnt a type cost the company 15-25K? I guess its a no brainer for the company. He will keep his app in, but how will they ever take him over an experienced turbine pilot? He is going to be Chief Flight Ins. for local 141 school, so that may bolster his resume, but he wants corporate over regional. Any other help you can throw at me? Thanks
Corporate is all about who you know and who can satisfy the insurance company. Most of the positions I've seen want the applicant to be typed as well. Like you said, type ratings cost a lot.
For getting a career off the ground, I'd suggest a regional. The lifestyle isn't fun, but the experience he'd get is good, and within 3-5 years fractionals will most likely be hiring again. Fractional flying is almost as a good as corporate, but you are much busier. You also get typed in the aircraft you're flying, which will help is chances getting on with a corporate flight dept.
I guess I'm going to have to buy my type rating.
Yes... you might. I wrote about this in my novel.
Read Flight For Control and learn what the "real" problems are. Not requiring more hours for initial pilots. http://tinyurl.com/7xujdrc
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
Minimum of 1500 hours for First Officers
The FAA is suggesting that First Officers have a minimum of 1500 before they can climb into the right hand seat of an airliner.
I'd rather have somebody next to me with 250 hours turbine time as opposed to somebody with 2500 non turbine nor never been in a jet of any kind. just sayin'
I agree, but like I was saying, it's unheard of up here where guy's can get into a stepping stone airline like Porter or jazz without having turbine time. You don't see guys out of flight school going from a 172 to an RJ.
You are correct but right now, although changing as the experienced pilot pool is increasing due to cutbacks, that seems to be the course of progression down this way. It does seem the market is tightening up and as it does, then those requirements will undoubtedly change. The regionals aren't really paying anything anyway but if they have a 3000 hour laid off captain or FO willing to work for that money, why take somebody lesser qualified. I was arbitrarily retired just before the rule change, but over the last few years have been doing fill in for Eagle and Pinnacle and their majors from time to time, but as they downsized and reduced capacity, more and more senior guys hit the bricks and the hit the call roster first before they go outside. I haven't done anything for Eagle or AA since the weekend before they filed BR. I did one turn for DAL about a month ago, and it's not because they aren't still having to fill at times but are using guys that are laid off and needing work.
What is it you're doing now?
Sitting on my ass as far as flying goes. I think I did a fill for my ex employer here a couple of weeks ago, but it was just a Saturday morning short hop out and back on the King Air, lasted about 4 hours.
Sounds familiar. I'm furloughed and haven't touched an airplane since '09.
are you a cfi? i think i'd go that route just to stay current if i were you. just a thought
Don't have my CFI and it's too expensive to get.
As scary as that is I have heard of it. Do not ask my why or wtf this particular airline (won't get into that) is thinking with this agreement, but there is a University in Michigan with an agreement with a regional that goes beyond just giving graduates an interview, but basically ensures you have a class date the second you are done with your commercial anywhere between 250-300 hours.
I have no clue how many of those guy get through class, but still. It just annoys the hell out of me when I have 2200TT and 150 or so multi with an ATP and everything else, but I can't get an interview to save my life after 1.5 years...
It gets depressing after awhile.
I recently road on express jet and the F.O. Told me that a guy in his class was hired with 400 total time. I suspect many of those hours were in good VFR. The only thing saving the industry is automation and alert Captains. In 2000, I was hired to fly a Jetstream with 2000 TT and 500 ME and felt like I needed much more time. I know a Delta 767 pilot who will not let his family ride an RJ due to inexperienced crews. Just my humble opinion but it is a job where there must be no substitute for experience. Unfortunately, the almighty dollar is the culprit as airlines cannot afford the salaries required for experience.
And how many commercial airlines have crashed the last 50 years with pilots having LESS than 1500TT? The Colgan pilots (which this is based off of) had over 1500TT each. This will just hurt the airlines. Maybe we should do sim training every 8 months not 12 months.
True...although notably the captain had only ~100 hours in type which was probably a factor.
I agree every captain does need experience and lots of it, however if everyone is required to have lots of experience where should one start getting this experience? I thought that was one of the primary functions of the FO... gaining experience. I agree it is a bad thing if BOTH pilots are inexperienced but the whole FO thing seems to be a bit of a joke.
The B-1900....if I ever manage to get back into flying and finish my flight training I think everyone should start out in a b-1900 or a comparible plane....turbine time and you are not putting 40+ lives in an unexperienced pilots hands but that is just my opinion...Let the experienced pilots fly the heavy metal and for goodness sakes pay pilots a salary that reflects the time, effort and money that they put into their training...Heck I currently fuel trucks and work on trailers and I make 19.65 an hr...roughly about the same as dash-8 pilot and slightly more than a b-1900 captain before their 5th year...ridulous
This thing about raising the bar all the way up... Its way off the subject but what would make aviation quite a bit safer is requiring every pilot to be instrument rated before being issued a private license. I was told once life expectancy after a non-ifr pilot entered imc was like 2-5 minutes before they got themselves disoriented? i see a lot of people come out with their privates and they think they're pretty hot stuff but between the macho attitude and the horrible decision making skills they scare me. an instrument rating would be a good idea for everyone.
WTF!? How the hell are supposed to get an Instrument Rating BEFORE you even know how to fly!? Are you serious right now? I have had a pathetic number of students who could barely fly the first 15 hours, horrendously bad the first 5 hours, and you expect me to take off with a new student on our first lesson and after 500 agl, "I have the controls. Put these on. All set? Okay your aircraft!" Right that makes a lot of sense.
This is one of those ideas that "looks good on paper" You cannot learn how to fly instrument approaches when you don't even have the basic skills of constant airspeed climbs/descents and basic aircraft control. Whats funny is when I have privates, who actually have that background, start an instrument rating with me, it is still an ENORMOUS learning curve for them and this is coming from someone who knows HOW TO fly.
thats not what i meant at all. i am talking about extending the hour requirements for the private and tacking the instrument rating on the end before the license is issued. the possibility would still be there to be "signed off to solo" without passengers of course and once they can get themselves out of bad situations they could be licensed and carry passengers. i'm not saying start right away but right now when your done with private you start instrument so just tack the instrument on the end of the private license instead of the unrestricted commercial license.
also get rid of the restricted commercial all together.
I got ya! Yeah I don't ANYONE who actually has a commercial certificate without an instrument rating. Its completely worthless. So dumb.
The only problem I see with this is its going to turn away a lot of people who want to learn to fly for a hobby. These are the types that don't fly when its even marginal out and what not. It would be tough telling them the private is around $5,000 but right when your done you gotta start an instrument ticket which is another few grand.
This makes sense and is basically what career pilots do. Get the instrument the moment they are done with a private, but outside of pilots looking to do this for a job it might be tough.
yes and once again nothing against a hobby pilot as long as theyre not the macho hobby pilot.aviation isnt cheap and everyone knows that however sometimes they are the ones who make aviation look bad and unsafe to the public when they get disoriented and dive bomb out of the clouds and hit "high speed dirt" lol:-) love that phrase
what i was saying is with the instrument rating, first of all more experience before the private (license to kill yourself and 3 friends) and learning to check the weather better and make better decisions for yourself before just letting people who really dont realize what they are getting into go fly around I dont know but i think general aviation and "hobby pilots" is where we rack up the majority of our accidents. I have nothing against hobby pilots however they should be safer than most are now. also the sport pilot rating now available? how is that safe?
it's about time you american's start following in Canada's footsteps. I can't remember the last time there has been a fatal crash in any canadian airline. In Canada you need to have 1500 hrs to get your A's and airlines don't look at guys with less than 3000 hrs. You put a 200 hr wonder in the right seat of an RJ and a Captain with 2000 hrs in the left, bad things are bound to happen.
Well Stephane. That would be First Air 6560. A B732 that crashed at Resolute Bay on August 20 2011 killing 12 people.
Remember now?
Thats really the way it USED to be here. When I got hired at an RJ operating regional in 2001, I had 5000+ hours. If a resume hit the door with less than 3000TT, it went straight to the trash...not anymore.
Bring back the b-1900...lol

Winners of Bell's 3rd Annual Homebrew Competition announced
One hundred and twenty six entries were submitted for the 3rd Annual Bell's Homebrew Competition and Nick Rodammer, pictured at right, took first prize with his Belgian black IPA.
All of the winners were announced during All Stouts Day on Nov. 4 at the Eccentric Café.
Rodammer will get to brew his recipe with Specialty Brewer Zeke Bogan at our original brewery in downtown Kalamazoo to then go on tap at the Café.

Draft Chat

Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
I feel like I have a responsibility to comment on the Clippers' not winning the lottery, but I think most of us realized that it was a foregone conclusion. The Clippers will pick 14th. I don't think it's a certainty that they'll go with a point guard. With Maggette most likely leaving after the season, the Clips will need a 3 who can step in and perform in 2008-2009. If a guy like Al Thornton or Nick Young is on the board, I can't imagine that the Clips won't consider him; though if Acie Law is available, he'd be a nice fit for the Clips.

Installing PlaneShift for linux by AljoshaNL (Transferred from Wiki by Peter)
This pet is a step-by-step tutorial which guides you through the PlaneShift installation. This installation is about version 0.3.012. Please send me a mail/PM if this PET is outdated!
PlaneShift is a pre-alpha open-source 3D MMORPG game, which also has Linux builds. However, the way to install the game is very unclear, the site offers many ways, but which one is the best? I will explain how to install the binary packages, which should work on (almost) all distributions. Before you proceed, install your ATI/NVIDIA OpenGL drivers (this pet assumes that you have a decend video with OpenGL support)
- Get the three packages from:
http://www.zobiana.com/planeshift/Pl...2P-r2.i686.bin for 32-bit OR http://www.zobiana.com/planeshift/Pl...P-r2.amd64.bin for 64-bit
http://www.zobiana.com/planeshift/Pl...4-i686.tar.bz2 for 32-bit OR http://www.zobiana.com/planeshift/Pl...-amd64.tar.bz2 for 64-bit
- When you have the files, first install PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run: chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run ./PlaneShift_CBV0.011.linux.x86-2.run You need the program 'dialog'. Most ditro's already have it, if not get it from your package management system.
- Go to the folder where you installed the above package and delete everything EXCEPT the 'art' folder.
- Install the second package, PlaneShift_CBV0.3.012P-r2.i686.bin or the 64-bit equivalent: chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.012P-r2.i686.bin ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.012P-r2.i686.bin Follow the installation wizard, install in EXACTLY the same folder as you did before (for most people, ~/planeshift/. Make sure it isn't planeshift/planeshift!
- Unpack the third package, CBV0.3.0.12-r4-i686.tar.bz2 or its 64-bit equivalent: tar -xvf CBV0.3.0.12-r4-i686.tar.bz2
- Copy the three unpacked files to your installation folder
- Run updater 8. Run pssetup, I reccomend, just like the planeshit team, to use 32-bit mode, it has a MUCH better perfomance on most machines 9. Create an account on www.planeshift.it 10. Happy planeshifting!
If this PET misses something, please PM or mail me at: princimrahil -Doggy-A- gmail -Low-Dot- com

Make Money Monday: Empty Your Attics and Closets to Sell Your Old Decorations
After an extensive amount of time, holiday decorations can begin to lose their appeal. This doesn't mean that the decoration wasn't cherished or enjoyed. As time evolves, so does your tastes. What you once thought was a welcome addition to your home decor is now taking up space in the closet. What can you do with these old holiday and seasonal decorations other than tossing them in the trash? Why not post an online classified ad and sell the decorations to another individual who shares your previous sense of style?
Why Online Classified Ads Instead of Local?
Although local classified ads can cover a wide range of people, it pales in comparison to posting a classified ad on the Internet. Instead of a few hundred or so that may view your ad, millions have potential to see it online. You could cover a possible global market to anyone looking for your particular holiday decorations for sale.
Selling your old decorations at a yard sale can possibly unload your goods over a weekend, but some items could bring in far more money by selling them online. What a lot of people don't realize is the collection value that many holiday and seasonal decorations have. What may be taking up space in one person's point of view, could easily be a collectible item to another.
A way to find these decoration collectors is to sell old decorations online. Items that are in good to mint conditions could be worth more than you would have thought. In some cases, the value is far beyond what the item was purchased for. You could be sitting on a small fortune as it collects dust in your attic.
For example, you could have a single porcelain miniature holiday house that would complete someone's collection. You could have a box full of Halloween decorations that a young family could start with. The only way you will know if your decorations are worth something to someone is to detailing what you have to sell.
Old Doesn't Mean Useless
As long as something is in usable condition, there really is no reason to dump it in the trash. The Internet is full of people who could be looking for your specific items. Millions of users browse the Internet on a daily basis looking for all kinds of random items. As many have seen, a simple auction or classified posting could net an unbelievable amount of money.
For instance, people are always looking for the Coca-cola Polar Bear memorabilia. Something you picked up at a yard sale for less than $5 could net far more than that to the right collector. However, not everything is a collector's item. The point is, you don't know until you try.
Regardless of method, selling your old holiday decorations could help a family or surprise a collector. Why not turn that collection of home decor into something worthwhile? Post an online classified ad today and see what can become of it.

Dear Suse Master..
i have a new configuration in my network, but maybe different with another network.
There was one router (linksys RV042) for configuration NAT, and i have different machine for only proxy server with linux suse 10.2
1. How to start squid in linux suse 10.2...from Yast..? completly..? how to check the squid is running ?
2. How to make squid transparent in suse 10.2 ( in many blog, squid 2.6 version we can add "transparent" behind http_port..is that right for suse too..?)
this is my network..please help me --> "http://i7.tinypic.com/2rndlom.jpg"
i don't know how much I can help you (I run squid, but not on SuSE, and I also run SuSE, but on a box that doesn't run SuSE) and I'm not even sure I've completely understood your situation, but:
-assuming the xxx strings always mean some value in particular (that you are, very reasonably, trying to keep secret), I'm not sure what you've got can work because you've used 202.XXX.XXX.2 twice. Not good.
-assuming the xxx strings always mean different values (that you are, very reasonably, trying to keep secret), I'm not sure what you've got can work without some cleverness in subnet masking because the router box and the DSL modem aren't on the same subnet (actually, this is easy enough to cure, but why? Why not do it the easy way?)
Anyway, maybe I've just misunderstood what you were saying, on to your substantive question.
- Install squid. Use yast 'install and remove software'.
-try to configure the squid.conf file. This is actually quite a big .conf file as these things go. It usually takes me over an hour to read through line-by-line, understand each line and work out what I think is right.
-Do not get over excited about the 'fancy-schmanzy' options that look as if they might help you increase your caching efficiency. SuSE doesn't compile them all in (most people don't and they only make small differences, but it would have been nice to have, say, the algorithm allocation, options, but, certainly a couple of years back, you didn't have them and any attempt to specify them results in an immediate crash).
You might need a cafeine-containing drink for that stage.
-Now try to start squid in the foreground from the command line and, preferably, as the user that squid will finally run as.
This maybe a two drink stage. It will crash. That is expected. Work out why it has crashed, put that right and try again. Repeat until it will run. At this point, if you feel like getting fancy, try the fancy optimisations, one at a time and check they don't make it crash. For example, on any modern computer, the amounts of memory (RAM & HD) are rather small. Multiply by 2-4-6-8-16 as seems appropriate for the machine that you are using. No point in allocating more ram than the machine has, though. This will just lead to swapping and you are probably better off letting squid manage that by allocating less ram and more HD.
-At any time you can tell whether squid is running from the command line by some incantation like
ps -ef
or, to cut out the junk
ps -ef|grep -i quid
(note; the last version should show both the ps command running and squid, if squid is running at that time; abbreviating the squid name slightly to quid should make it very clear which is the real squid command and which is only the ps -ef.)
You can now kill the manually started squid with a 'kill process_number', where process number is visible in the ps -ef output.
-Now use yast to specify in which run levels you want squid to be active, with the system services (is it 'services and runlevels??) module.
Check everything starts up (ps -ef again). Have a quick look at 'top'. Done.
By the way, the thing that you have as '10.10.0.2' - I'm not clear whether that is a switch or a router, but I'd have hung the squid box off there rather than the RV-042. In fact a few of the minor things in this layout are a bit of a mystery to me, but there may be perfectly good reasons.

Since 1998 we've been focusing on the one thing we do best. We design and develop original web templates that look great, load fast, and give you the features you need so you can get your site up and running quickly and easily.
We're still doing that, but have decided to combine things with our sister site at Round the Bend Wizards.
Looking for our Dreamweaver templates? We have lots of information and news for you.
