  1. Interesting, I opted out in October from relevant Mobile advertising. But still couldn't opt out of the super cookies option.

     

    Here's where you can check to see if it's still on or not. You must be running on data, and not Wi-fi.

    If its turned off the Broadcast UID will be blank. If it's on, you'll see X-UIDH.

  2. I'd be game for this.  One question...I'd love to get my significant other in on this if it's not over the top kind of a class.  She comfortable with guns and she's a safe shooter, I'd just like for her to have some better defensive skills.

     

    The class is desgned to force you out of your comfort zone while engaging a target. In a safe environment.

  3. Welcome aboard

     

    Welcome. The MSF BRC ( basic rider course ) supplies you a bike for their course, so you wouldn't need one of your own to earn your endorsement. Albeit a bit boring for an experienced rider, it's a valuable way to get properly trained from the ground up, and get licensed at the same time.

     

    and this ^.

    I too am a larger fella. Took the MSF on an enduro, passed without to much trouble. I got that particular bike because of the suspension travel. :)

  4. If I were on the market for a new lid, the Shoei GT Air would probably be at the top of my list. I have a more oval head though, and it fits me better in that aspect.

    The RF-1100 I wear now is comfy and light. But the wind noise is quite loud in comparison to a couple other helmets I've ridden with.

  5. So as I forgot to mention there is a hiring pecking order

    1. Lateral transfers

    2. Promotions

    3. Demotions

    4. Interns

    5. Outside applicants

    The job is posted for current employees only. That should not discourage you from applying.

  6. Here is the posting

    This is for an entry level position on IT helpdesk for the Ohio State Highway Patrol. This is currently posted as 1st shift 7a-3p. Pay starts @ $21.77 then $23.85 after 6 months probation. The pay is non-negotiable.

     

    Things you must be able to have / pass 

    Must have some sot of IT cert, or associates level degree (CCNA, A+, Net +, MCP etc). They pretty much screen out if you don't have one. - They want motivated people to move up, not sit stagnent for 30 years.

    Must be able to pass a background check. (They went all the way back to elementary school for mine)

    Must be able to pass a polygraph test. (This is where most applicants fail - Just tell the truth!)

     

     

    Here's the breakdown of the actual job

    It's a 24/7 call center. So expect to work weekends, holidays, and random times to cover other shifts. There are only three people that work on a shift. So every 3rd weekend you work by yourself. Two people are required on 1st shift, so you don't get a whole lot of time off. Supervisor does his best with what hes got. But don't expect a whole lot. Just being honest.

    It's a technical job that's not super technical. 80% law 20% tech. Most of the calls are password or application related. Every now an again you'll get a call about what NCIC offense code to use in a certain event. After a while you should be able to rattle that off the top of your head. There is a lot of law knowledge you are required to learn and certify in every 2 years.

    They deal with ATT exclusivley for point to point network connectivity. So know how to look at a router/switch/firewall. Basic level 2 viewing ability. They support all Criminal Justice agencies throughout the state that use LEADS.

     

    As I said earlier, they want people that will move up. So even if it doesn't sound awesome for you, the next opportunity might. Most everyone that works in a higher level started on the helpdesk.

     

    If you have any questions let me know, I will answer them honestly.
