Which department owns the gator pictured?

The way the refreshers work in New York is you take a pretest and then attend lectures for any section that you failed in addition to a bunch of required lectures. Then you take the state practical and written exam at the end. If you do well on the pre-test you only have to go to a handful of classes.

Vista's really not as bad as people make it out to be. Pretty much all of the compatibility issues have been resolved and the interface is more or less the same. It just takes so getting used to and some tweaking to receive less notifications.

Exactly, E-Zpasses are used voluntarily and people can choose to either take them down or remove them if they do not want to be tracked. The same cannot be said with your license plate.

If they are understaffed and often go to mutual aid, they may be willing to let you take some calls off of their hands. I would think contacting them is worth a try.

How long is the average response time from the FD? If they will respond in about the same amount of time as you would, you won't really get to do much except respond and then drive back. Why rule out transporting?

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/...ss-use/?apage=3 Apparently, NYC emergency vehicles were given free E-ZPasses, but recently the MTA has reversed this decision and now bills these accounts.

Is there any way to request that the NYS Thruway authority cut out a part of the concrete dividers for an emergency U-Turn? There are many sections of the thruway where there are several miles between exits and a cut out could reduce response times in some cases.

That thing looks absolutely ridiculous, how can they even fill all of that space?

I believe the new entrance is just the beginning and they are building a whole new ER. I agree though, the wait time for a bed is worse there than any other hospital in Westchester.

I should add that I have no problem with scanning plates and checking them against a database, but I have a problem when a log is kept recording every plate scanned along with the location and time.

You could argue Amendment IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures , shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue , but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Those picture things are helpful, but I find they take forever to find the relevant photo and they are a pain to use.

In an MCI, I believe triage tags can be used instead of a PCR.

What a tragedy. My prayers go out to Mark, his family and his fellow volunteers. A sad reminder that you need to approach every call with caution.

If your audited I am sure they will request some sort of proof.

No proof required, just list the address of the organization.

Anyone have a link to the picture in question?

Yes, you can still claim the volunteer credit on your NY return. I believe it is $200. I filed with Turbo Tax's online system last year and it was very easy. I've never used the installed software though. The online system was great, i got my refund check in a week.

So what services can Ham Radio provide?

Waterboarding is considered torture by the UN. Source: http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN0852061620080208

This prison has become a center for torture and human rights violations. Even if the act was cleaned up there, as long as it is being used, it will portray that image. Closing Guantanamo ends the practice of detaining prisoners overseas so that we don't have to follow US and/or international law.

Perhaps they meant court/state fees?

Who covers the capital for EMS? Is there a special agency for the capital or is it covered by the DC FD?
