Are you planning a live webcast of this event? or at least a live web
cam???? You volunteering? Just trying to be as involved as possible with no plane! Who needs a plane? Drive, bike, ride, or glide in -- we'll have a cold one for you! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Sorry to say, but get a life, and go elsewhere with your talk. This is a get-to-gether, any person who drinks are responsible for thier actions, nobody else, have a look throught the FAA regs, find me a paragraph where it says I CAN'T DRINK BEER and have a party If it makes y'all feel better, I have actually (no kidding!) invited a couple of FAA types to the party. They drink beer too, you know. You mean, they don't only need a little bit of oil and grease from time to time?

I find your exploitative lack of discretion rude and offensive.
You know, Larry, up till now I've tolerated you and your motherly attitude with impish good humor. However, you have now crossed the line. I am now DEEPLY offended, and will therefore organize a worldwide "PHHHBBBTTTT" in your general direction. All those in favor of "PHHHHBBBTTT-ing" Larry, say "AYE!" -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Of course in light of certain posts in this thread, a webcam would only
provide evidence that some adult can't take personal responsibility for themselves and would have to blame the event host. Seriously though, Jay for next year (assuming you make it through the litigation this years event causes), lets plan ahead for it. I have access to a cheap little webbased camera that can be mounted anywhere (vise type mount) and plugged into an ethernet jack. So, if you have cable and/or DSL, this would be a 10 minute setup....and great fun for all us wannabetheres..... Jeff "Martin Hotze" wrote in message ...

If they stop and have a few drinks, and spend the night, unless they drink till the sun comes up they will certainly be within the "bottle-to-throttle" rule. And if they don't spend the night? anf if they don't trink beer? Are you providing complementary 8 hour accommodations for airmen who accept your free offer, so they can responsibly comply with federal regulations? why should he? Or are you chumming for lodgers with cheap beer, and charging them for a room once they're stranded? they can sleep whereever they want. Theay can also go downtown for the reminder of the 8 hours. What would you do if you became aware that one of the airmen who imbibed your free beer, departed before 8 hours had elapsed, and subsequently generated an NTSB report? Doesn't that sort of prudent forethought occur to you? Or are you waaaay ahead of me? So than this person is simply stupid. Is it Jay's fault? Would Jay be sued? Maybe, because nobody want's to carry his own responsibility. You are feeding into it. There may be a fine old tradition of pilot drinking, but in these times when the news media are whipping public GA terrorist hysteria, imagine how your free beer offer (archived for eternity, and publicly accessible worldwide) looks to the naive public. Do you think it reflects positively on airmen? Is it your intent to publicly besmirch our ranks? Oh wait. Then beer is for sure a beverage for the terrorists. Everybody trinking beer is a terrorist. Trinking beer and beeing a pilot .. well, you should hang yourself. Immediately. It's bad enough to be inundated daily with a mailbox full of ground trees, and unsolicited e-mail will soon exceed the legitimate by a factor of 1,000; now you've chosen to publicly soil the airman image ostensibly to attract pilots to your business for personal gain thinly disguised as free beer. well, he lives there at the hotel. Sure, the argument for attracting people to the hotel remains. I'm offended, and I think you are foolish to publicly put yourself, business, and family at risk of legal liability. yes, only in America. You can call me self-righteous as a defense, but it doesn't change the facts. The regulations are clear in requiring 8 hours of abstinence from liquor before flying. Jay, let everbody sign an agreement before you give them free beer that you told them about the bottle or throttle 8 hours thing and that they keep you free of any liability. You are publicly offering pilots free alcohol in a global forum. maybe also non pilots will have the ability to get a free one. If pilots accept your offer of a drink, they're effectively grounded for 1/3rd of a day. yes. and now? The government and news media are doing their best to portray GA as a terrorist's tool, and airmen as blundering fools who flout federal attempts to establish "security." Enthusiastically crying the delights of inebriation in a public forum by airmen entrusted with the life-and-death safety of their passengers and those countless numbers over whom they navigate, is not smart. maybe you should call the media to Jay's privat party. I find your exploitative lack of discretion rude and offensive. I know. I know. You're just trying to turn a buck and be congenial, but think man. Think. Yes, Jay mentions his hotel too often, agreed, but only because of fear what the general public might think? Another freedom lost over there? #m -- http://www.usawatch.org/ http://www.alternet.org/ John Gilmo I was ejected from a plane for wearing "Suspected Terrorist" button http://www.politechbot.com/p-04973.html |

A friend of mine bought this one from the X10 folks (the ones with all the
popup ad's everywhere). It costed him about $100 with a few add-ons. It plugs directly into and ethernet jack and has its own ip. I don't think it has a builtin webserver, but it might. But with IIS on a Win2k machine (or better), this would be fairly easy to setup... Check them out. they have several options and pretty good quality camera's.....if you can get past their marketing strategy. www.x10.com "Martin Hotze" wrote in message ...
