Where can I go for a discovery tour/instructional ride somewhere in Los Angeles to see if I like to pilot?
Posted by Admin on May 14th, 2011
I have read that, since I am considering being a commercial airline pilot, I should go on one of these instructional tour flights with an aviation school at my local airport in LA, but where would that be? LAX?
Also, how do I do this? Just show up one day? Find out the school and email them to set up an appointment?
Do you know how I can go about doing this? Please help me out by answering in detail.
Thanks so much! All answers are appreciated as long as they pertain to the question and do not contain negative language. =]

Where do I start my PBR career?
Posted by Admin on April 23rd, 2011
I am getting my PBR permit in a few weeks and I am not sure which competitions I should go to. I am trying to decide between the Discovery Tour and the Smokeless Tabacco Tour. Either way I have one ultimate goal. The Built Ford Tough Series (and one day become a PBR world Champion)
Any suggestions?
Georgia state lawmaker Bobby Franklin proposes relabeling rape victims as 'accusers'?
Posted by Admin on April 22nd, 2011
Rep. Bobby Franklin, a Republican from the Atlanta suburb of Cobb County, filed the bill in November but it only recently came to public attention.
Franklin’s bill would eliminate the word "victim" from statutes dealing with stalking, rape, obscene telephone contact with a child and family violence and replace it with "accuser."
It also strikes the word "victim" from statutes dealing with electronic pretrial monitoring, HIV testing of criminal defendants and pretrial discovery, the exchange of crucial information between attorneys prior to the start of a criminal trial.
It wasn’t clear why Franklin’s legislation includes only those specific laws, or whether it would affect how people who file complaints about other crimes, such as child molestation, assault or theft might be described.
Carolyn Fiddler, the communications director for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, wrote on the organization’s website that the legislation diminishes rape victims by questioning whether what happened to them is even a crime.
"Burglary victims are still victims. Assault victims are still victims. Fraud victims are still victims," she wrote. "But if you have the misfortune to suffer a rape, or if you are beaten by a domestic partner, or if you are stalked, Rep. Franklin doesn’t think you have been victimized."
"When we assume the facts that a jury is being asked to decide by presuming that an individual is in fact a victim, then we are undercutting some of the foundational principles of our legal system," Gabriel said.
This is the second controversy this month over Republican legislation mentioning rape.
Last week, U.S. House Republicans changed the language in a bill limiting taxpayer funding for abortions after Democrats and others argued it narrowed a longstanding allowance for government funding of abortion in the case of rape by using the term "forcible rape."
Critics said the language would exclude abortion funding for the rape of unconscious or mentally incapacitated women, for instance.
Franklin recently attracted attention for filing legislation that would eliminate the need for Georgia residents to get driver’s licenses, saying the government cannot abridge an individual’s right to travel.
He has also filed a bill that would abolish all zoning laws in the state.
Do You Agree With This Guy???

Who will substitute for Bobby Jindal at the Republican Pol. Party Convention?
Posted by Admin on April 13th, 2011
there is some discussion that the first-term governor of Louisiana will not attend the Sept. 1-4 convention if Hurricane Gustav hits the coastline of his state? Do you know if they will shorten the Convention? Will Pres. Bush also travel down to the Gulf coast to help out with volunteer response?
Does Discovery have anything to feel good about after the Vattenfalls Cyclassic?

Great finish with Freirre edging out Zabel. The top Discovery team finish was Vladimir Gusev in 22nd and then Michael Barry in 25th, then Roger Hammond in 64th 1:55 behind, Bileka in 66th, and three riders who didn’t finish. Look at the Tour standings, Savoldelli at 17th is the only Discovery rider in the top 20.
