    Drones for scouting????

    It's not a matter of using "Too much technology". It is a matter of using technology that many feel doesn't belong in the outdoors. All of my technology stays on my person. I don't strap it to a tree, or attach propellers to it.

    Drones for scouting????

    I know this isn't scouting or the outdoors, but I wonder how long before one gets sucked into a jet engine WASHINGTON – After decades of steady improvements in air travel, a new report from the Federal Aviation Administration shows a surge in near-collisions between commercial airliners and drones. Already this month, close calls have been reported from New Jersey to Kansas to Hawaii. Since July 1, commercial airlines, private pilots and air-traffic controllers have reported 25 incidents to the FAA in which small drones came dangerously close to crashing into larger planes, according to the report. Many of the calls happened during takeoff and landings at some of the nation’s busiest airports including New York’s LaGuardia Airport, Washington’s Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia. The spike in near collisions presents a new threat to aviation safety after years of improvement, the report says. In one case, air-traffic controllers at LaGuardia reported that Republic Airlines Flight 6230 was “almost hit” by a drone flying at an altitude of 4,000 feet as a passenger plane was trying to land. On Sept.8, three different regional airlines – Express Jet, Chautauqua and Pinnacle – reported “very close calls” with a drone within minutes of each other as they were preparing to land at LaGuardia. In many cases, the drones weigh less than 10 pounds, are plastic, have cameras and are measure just a few feet in diameter. Safety experts caution that the drones could get sucked into a jet engine or hit a plane’s propeller. “The potential for catastrophic damage is certainly there,” Fred Roggero, a retired Air Force major general who was in charge of aviation safety investigations for the service and now serves as a consultant to companies seeking to fly drones commercially, told The Washington Post. Under current FAA regulations, small drones are allowed to legally fly under 400 feet and five miles from major airports or other restricted airspace. In 2012, Congress ordered the FAA to safely integrate drones into national airspace but the process has been slow and is expected to take several years. The Washington Post reports that since 2012, the FAA has been struggling to keep up with the thousands of small drones that have been sold in the United States over the past three years. The FAA lacks the manpower to police airports for the drones and only a handful of them and their operators have been apprehended across the country, the paper reports.

    Ferguson, Missouri

    Natalie Dubose had saved money from selling cakes at local flea markets to pursue her dream of one day having her very own cake shop. In June, Dubose’s dreams came true when she opened Natalie’s Cakes and More in Ferguson, Missouri, but her dreams were shattered – along with her shop’s front windows – when violent protesters ransacked the city Monday night. But Dubose is still baking amidst the mayhem, while she attempts to clean up. “I’m baking today,” she said. “We have orders to go out for Thanksgiving. I can’t tell the people — I won’t tell the people — that I’m canceling.” Dubose plans to pick up the pieces of her broken shop and start over, but she has no plans to leave Ferguson. “This is everything that I own. I can’t walk away from it,” she said. “I just got to start up and start baking again.” Dubose didn’t know where she would get the money for repairs, but someone suggested she start a Go Fund Me account and a second Go Fund Me account was created, unbeknown to her at the time. In less than 24 hours the two pages together have generated over $120,000 from supporters across the country, more than five times her original goal of $20,000.

    Ferguson, Missouri

    I saw a photo of an African-American woman from Ferguson who was in tears because the rioters trashed her cake store. She used to sell cakes at the flea market to scrape enough money together to open her own small shop, which is now demolished. It is people like her, who are trying to make something of themselves, that are hit the hardest.

    10 and 1 in Seattle?

    The Cards have the best record, but I don't think they will make it past the Packers in the playoffs if they make it. I foresee a Packers and Patriots superbowl. As a Vikings fans, I can't believe I just said that. Go Cardinals!

    Doesn't matter what color you are. Attack a cop and you will get shot. Officer Wilson should consider moving to another state. He's a marked man.

    Sciatica or Sciatic Nerve

    You can also get a sciatica brace. It is like a back brace, but it tightens around the lower lumbar area and keeps the area tightened up to help relieve discomfort. I have one in my truck for when I need it.

    Another option is the Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok Thailand. One of the top international hospitals in the world. You can get quality care for considerably less than the USA. I have checked into it, but you can't get a cost analysis unless you visit a specialist there. As soon as my winning lottery numbers payoff, I will be all over it.

    Sciatica or Sciatic Nerve

    Have had it for 25 years, and live in pain everyday. Somedays are worse, and some not so bad. I need surgery, but I refuse to enroll in Obamacare. I've been through therapy,chiropractic, ultrasound. electroshock. I try and stay away from drugs and meds'. sometimes my legs will go partially numb, and tingly. I am very intrigued with the Laser Spine Institute, however, I don't have the moola to do it.
