All Virtual Aviation
We welcome pilots from all over the globe that want to fly what they want, where they want, when they want. Although we have ranks and awards, emphasis is placed on the quality of PIREPS. Traditional VAs place heavy emphasis on flight hours and ranks, although we track this as well, it says very little about the quality of the flight. Our automatic PIREP system grades each flight to ensure our virtual passengers experience nothing less than excellent. So, sure you can jump on the flight deck of a 747 or 777, but what is your quality score? Landing FPM? We have a saying here, fly quality over quantity.
Our Values are simple. We are committed to excellence, and most importantly to our pilots.

By Carl Radford, RPT
My friend Mike is one of the most positive people I know. He's funny. He likes to laugh and have a good time. It's infectious and you can't help but be in a good mood when you're around him. He is a manager at a well known downtown Chicago restaurant and his servers, busboys and cooks always gravitate towards him. He jumps up every day on the countertop and does "The Funky Chicken Dance" with the servers. They have fun with him, but you can tell the he is also very well respected.
Mike wears bright, outrageously wild clothes. You can't miss him in a crowd. He might wear a shirt with a brightly colored cartoon print, for example, and a beanie with the propeller on top. And he never has anything negative to say. Never.
I asked him once what he does when one of his employees does or says something negative. "Well, they know they better not do anything like that around me, or they won't be here very long." That's Mike. Overwhelmingly positive, and not about to hang around, even for a second, with anyone who isn't.
But Mike wasn't always that way. In fact, when I first met him, we were both in our late 20's, I had just moved to Chicago, and Mike was probably one of the most negative people I had ever met. At that time he always wore black from head to toe: black shoes, black socks, black pants, black shirt, and even his hair was black. Everything that came out of his mouth was negative and plaintive like Eore the donkey.
"How are you today?" I would ask.
"Terrrrrrrrrible." he would groan and tell me in great detail why.
Nevertheless we were neighbors at the time, so we wound up spending a lot of time together until I moved away. After that, we kept in touch, but I really didn't see him much.
There was a time in my life, many years later, when I had just broken up after a long-term relationship and was living on my alone for the first time ever. Turning 40 (gasp) was around the corner and I was feeling pretty low. I tried to keep a good front for my customers, but they could probably tell I wasn't a happy camper. It was a difficult time, but I was determined to get through it and hopefully learn something from it. So, I set out to study everything I could about achieving a positive attitude. I read books and listened to every audiobook the library had on the subject in the car while going from appointment to appointment.
In the midst of all that I started thinking about Mike, even though I hadn't seen him in years. I was curious as to how someone so negative turned out to be someone so positive. What did he do? Who did he learn from? Was it from a book? Did he take some kind of seminar that changed his life? I had to know.
So that's why I was impelled to call Mike on the phone one day. I needed to find out what his secret was.
"So, Mike… I'm going through kind of a rough patch right now and I'm trying to learn everything I can about getting a more positive attitude, and I remember that you used to be pretty negative years ago, and now you're just the opposite. In fact, you're one of the most positive people I know. So, I'm wondering… I'm just curious… What did you do? I mean did you read a particular book or something?"
There was a long silence until Mike finally spoke. "You're kidding, right?" He asked.
"Um, no." I replied. "I really want to know."
There was another momentary silence; followed by the last thing I would have ever expected him to say.
"It was you, Carl..."
I was stunned. "Me? What do you mean, me? What are you talking about? What did I do?"
"Well, do you remember that shirt you gave me for my birthday?" He asked. "It was a bright blue, button-down shirt with a big, bold, six inch thick, horizontal, white stripe across the middle."
At first I didn't remember it at all, but after he started describing the shirt I vaguely started to recall that I got it from The Gap, because I liked it and I thought he'd look good in it. It was something I might have worn and I was tired of seeing Mike wearing black all the time, so I bought the brightly colored shirt and gave it to him for his birthday.
"Yeah, I kind of remember…"
"I hated that shirt." He said.
"Yeah I thought it was just awful. So, I put it away for a long time. Then one day I decided to wear it, and EVERYONE commented on it. So, I wore it some more and I began to notice that people treated me differently when I wore it. So, I started wearing more brightly colored clothes."
"And that's what did it?" I asked.
"Well, that and you hitting me." He said.
"Hitting you?? What are you talking about?"
Again, I had completely forgotten about this until he began to describe it, then slowly, after we hung up, it all came flooding back to me. It had so little significance to me in my life that I totally forgot all about it, but it was so significant for him that it had changed his life.
Back when we were neighbors, I used to come over to his apartment for a meal or just to visit. After a while I got pretty fed up with his drone of negative comments all the time, so I decided that the next time I came over I was going to put some aversion therapy to work. I had learned in Psych 101 in college that during aversion therapy a patient is given a shock of some kind every time he thinks an undesirable thought or a thought that he wants to eliminate. In the simpler forms of aversion therapy just snapping a rubber band around your wrist will do the trick to remind you to think a different thought or to extinguish a bad habit. In this case, I needed a little more than a rubber band, but a little less than an electric shock.
"Ok," I said as I plunked myself down at the table next to him. "Here's the deal. Every time you say something negative, I get to punch you in the arm."
He looked at me. "That doesn't sound like a good deal to me at all."
And with that I walloped him right in the meaty part of the upper arm. I was stronger than him, so I wasn't too concerned about retribution.
"OWW! What was THAT for?" He yelled.
"You said something negative." I said calmly.
He looked at me and knew immediately that I was serious.
"Oh, I don't know if I like this…" He said. To which I walloped him again in the same place. He winced. "Ok! Ok!" He said, rubbing his arm. "I'm positive! I'm positive!"
After that it didn't take much. Just a few taps here and there over the ensuing days and weeks, but nothing so severe as the first few blows. He got the picture pretty quickly that I wasn't going to tolerate any negativity. One day after he said something negative I had to chase him around the couch, both of us laughing, until I pinned him down and tapped him on the shoulder. I wasn't going to let him get away with it. Another day he said something negative, and he realized it even before I did, got a panicked look, and took off running before I had a chance to hit him. At one point I recall him saying something negative to someone else while I was standing across the room. He either forgot or figured I was too far away or that he could get away with it with someone else around. I balled up my fist and waved it at him in a mock threatening manner. He knew I'd do it even with someone else there, so he immediately put up his hands as if to say 'Ok, Ok…' grinned and quickly changed his tune. It was all in fun and there was never any malice to it. Eventually, it petered out as he stopped saying negative things, and I eventually moved away and I forgot all about it.
After the phone conversation with Mike several things immediately struck me. For one thing, the irony of the situation, of course, was striking. I had called him to find out how he became a more positive person, so it could help me to become a more positive person, and the one who helped him become more positive was none other than me. I really didn't need to look on the outside for answers. It was inside me all the time.
I also realized that you never know the profound effect you can have on other people without even being aware of it. Something that may seem small and insignificant to you can change someone else's life.
And then there's Karma. I'm a big believer in Karma. Ye reap what ye sow. If you put good intensions (or bad intensions) out into the universe they will eventually come back to you. Of course the interesting part about that is that it never comes back the way you expect it to; in other words you can't control it. And it rarely comes back on your timetable. In this case it took some fifteen years! Sometimes you aren't even aware that it came back to you. And if you try to do good things with the underlying motivation of trying to get good things to come back to you for yourself, well that's bad karma. Doing good things and being positive is its own reward.
A positive intention put out there into the universe isn't just an isolated thing. Sometimes it goes unnoticed by people, but the universe always notices. And it can expand into two other positive intentions and each of those expand into two more, and on and on exponentially.
After that phone call with Mike I started wearing brighter colors. I decided I like yellow a lot and bought a yellow winter ski jacket. When it was time for a new car I struggled over the decision to get a bright yellow one or not. I decided to get it, and it turned out to be the most fun car I ever had. It's been three years since I had to sell that car and my customers still ask me about it. One day I was getting into to my yellow car in my yellow jacket and this African American dude was rolling by in his car with his arm hanging out of the window. He looked me up and down and said, "It's yellooow man…"
I started having more fun with my customers and enjoying them more too. I began to see their pianos as more than just pianos. The pianos were part of them.
Since, as a part of our job, we have to identify and repair the problems in a piano, it's easy to find fault with our customer's pianos. I often hear from my customers about other tuners who have done nothing but complain about their piano. The hammers are worn, the sound is bad, it's just a crummy spinet, it needs this that and the other thing...
It's a lot tougher to recognize the pride and joy that the customer has in their instrument and reflect it back to them. This isn't just a piano; it's something that taught their children to love music, it's a cherished part of the family history, it's a best friend that they have shared their deepest thoughts and emotions with. If you look at it that way, the repairs, fine tuning and voicing we do are always sending out millions of positive intensions into the universe every day. What could be better?
I think one of the main reasons I enjoy the time I've spent in the Piano Technicians Guild over the years, is because I'm always inspired by many of the people in our local chapter, and those I meet at national conventions, who already enthusiastically embody many of these principles, probably often without even being aware of it. They are always sending out good intensions about doing good work, always improving our skills, being ethical, having fun, and enjoying what we do.
Keeping positive and creating a world around you that embodies these principles is a never-ending process and always requires practice and persistence, and it's always inspiring to be around others who feel the same way.
And if I haven't punched you in the shoulder recently, you're one of 'em

THE LION KID, one of the most popular wrestlers to have appeared at the Meridian Centre, returns to Peacehaven for a huge grappling spectacular on February 16.
The high-flying international star, who has thrilled fans in Japan and all over Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Ireland, was a big hit with Meridian fans when he made his only previous appearance back in 2016.
The Lion Kid features on arguably one of the biggest bills to be staged in Peacehaven that also includes the Sussex debut of sensational tag team The Beards, an appearance by one of the UK's top talents, Sid Scala, and an eagerly-awaited Premier Wrestling Federation title bout.
"Dazzling" Darrell Allen clashes with "The Prince of Mumbai" Rishi Ghosh in a PWF welterweight championship contest held over from the last Peacehaven show when title-holder Allen was forced to pull out of the match through injury.
The Beards, man mountain Karl Atlas and his partner, "Maddog" Quinn, go up against another team new to Meridian fans, the Heavyweight Heartbreakers, while Cockney Kid Scala, now contracted to the WWE, has been snapped up by match-makers Premier Promotions on one of his free dates in his busy NXT UK schedule.
Among the other stars in action on the Saturday night spectacular will be Harry Sefton, one of the brightest up and coming wrestlers in the country, who took out three opponents on the last Meridian show to finish as the last man standing in a thrilling six-man knockout tag bout.
Tickets for the show, in aid of the mayor's charities and sponsored by Aquarius Solutions, are available from the Information Office at the Meridian Centre, priced £10 for adults and £9 for concessions. A family ticket for two adults and two children costs £36. Telephone enquiries: 01273 585493.

Real Gardening For Goodness' Sake
August 21st, 2009
People often seem confused when I tell them that I am a professional gardener. They understand the title landscape or garden designer and are familiar with guys that mow lawns and blow leaves around. But apparently my job description is baffling.
I spend time with plants and play in the dirt. I trim, rake, hoe and dig. I take out dead plants and replace them with new ones. I sit with clients, staring at an open hillside, deciding what kind of tree would be most appropriate for the site. This is what I call honest to goodness gardening.
My parent's house, where they have lived for thirty years, has a big, wild backyard. My dad loves to spend time outside fussing with the yard or just sitting and staring at the giant cacti and bamboo that surround the space. We spent a lot of time in the backyard growing up. Dad would put us to work raking leaves or planting cuttings of succulents from friend's yards. In college, I became involved in a student run organic vegetable garden. I found that getting my hands in the soil helped me cope with the pressures of college life. We did a lot with that little piece of land. We had vegetable beds, a 'permaculture' area of perennial edibles, a natural farming plot where we experimented with the techniques of the legendary Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukouka and a California native plant border. I was hooked. There was so much to know and explore.
Now, ten years later, I am putting my knowledge of plants to work. I have assembled a small crew of friends and associates to help me design, build and maintain landscapes of all kinds. My personal specialty is pruning. I have spent several years studying fruit trees, so pruning and caring for fruit trees is one of Full Circle's special services. But overall what we are is a company of real gardeners- for goodness' sake.

Government Ministers & other leaders on climate change
The following Ministers and MPs have the power to make change happen – write a letter or flick them an email to let them know you expect them to pass a Zero Carbon Act
If you happen to live in their electorate – it might be useful to approach them as your local MP rather than a Government Minister. Your local MPs are in Parliament to represent YOU – they should listen and, at the very least, pass on your concerns to the relevant Minister. The good news is: Politicians do pay attention to people who live in their electoral district. It is relatively easy to set up a face-to-face meeting – just contact your local MPs electorate office and schedule an appointment at their next constituency 'clinic'. You can then share your concern about climate change and ask them to #BackThePlan.

Lauren and Brian got married on a chilly December day at The Hollywood Schoolhouse in Woodinville, one of my all time favorite venues to work in! Lauren had a vision of incorporating lots of natural greenery, vintage charm and pops of rose gold.
Brian's father is a rose gardener and loves unique strains of roses. Lauren challenged me with a request for Cafe Latte roses, the oldest strain in the world! I was able to source them all the way from Africa for her bridal bouquet, cake topper and sweetheart table.
Lauren's sweetheart table had the most unique greenery, I saved monstera leaves to accent her Mr. and Mrs. sign.
The bridesmaids carried bouquets of ferns, eucalyptus, Innocence garden roses and ruscus.
Lauren carried a large bouquet with fresh cotton, brunia berry, Juliet garden roses, Cafe Latte roses, fluffy white football mums and italian ruscus which I painted a metallic rose gold.
TGTB Collective captured Brian and Lauren's wedding day beautifully, even the most delicate of details!
Brian's sweet daughter wore a floral crown to compliment her new stepmother's bridal bouquet.
Between Lauren's creative vision and The Hollywood Schoolhouse's vintage charm, this wedding was one for the books! Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Simmons, for the privilege of getting to be a part of such a special day!

Hi Ladies!
Have you seen the ads for ChristianMingle.com? Holy blasphemy Batman! This stuff is crazy. That's really nice that good Christian people are trying to find their soulmate but have you read their tagline?
"Find God's Match For You"
I don't care how religious you are, this is false advertising to the highest power. To imply that this dating site has direct access to God, like he's sitting in their offices in front of a computer, matching up nice men and women is as asinine and disturbing as that guy Ernest Angley telling people to put their hands on the TV so he could cure them of things like cancer or blindness. Yeah, right. What's next – Jerry Falwell coming back from the dead to do quickie weddings online? Give me a break.
If these enlightened people at ChristianMingle have a direct link to God, then why are we wasting this connection on DATING tasks? Shouldn't we ask him how to end famine, or the meaning of life, or perhaps why my mother is so nuts? Or how about why we can't fly or live underwater? These are questions to which I want to know the answers! It seems God is better suited for finding a great gal for Tom or a nice man for Theresa – or so says ChristianMingle. Puh-lease.
Someone should really regulate outrageous ad claims. Someone…. PLEASE.

|Becky Buckwald
|Becky Buckwald
|Full name
Becky Buckwald
|Last Reported Age
|Primary Employment
Bud Buckwald (father)
|Played by
Alex Borstein
Becky Buckwald is the 18 year old daughter of Bud and Janice Buckwald. She is in love with Ernesto's nephew, J.C., much to Bud's dismay. She is voiced by Alex Borstein.
Becky Buckwald is the second-born child of Bud and Janice Buckwald, after Sanford Buckwald.
When she was younger, she was constantly bullied at school for her appearance. This really hurt her, but she found peace at the Mexifornia MegaChurch, which taught her that no matter how much abuse she gets from other people, God would always love her. This was enough to help her through these hard times. However, she seemed to have changed her faith with age, and eventually became the Atheist, she is today. (MegaChurch)
When she was a teenager, she got into politics and took up an extremely left-leaning idealism. She stood for feminism, LGBT rights, freedom from religion, political correctness, etc. She fell in love with and started dating J.C. Gonzalez, a boy who agreed with everything she stood for. After a few years, they got engaged, which was strongly disapproved of by her father. (The Engagement)
In her future, she plans on having a gender-reversed wedding with J.C. (Santa Ana Winds) However, if J.C. doesn't get a job and make something of his life, she'll dump him and find happiness with Olympic swimming champion, David Ortega, who at the time, will become two-term governor of Mexifornia, seen in a dream, from (J.C. Strikes) Also, if she'll age the same way she did in the dream, she'll go through a fruitful body transformation, somewhere along the way, blasting fat and adopting a significantly healthier lifestyle. Not only this, but she'll also put more care into her appearance, fixing her hair and putting on makeup. All in all, she'll finally meet society's beauty standards.
Becky has brown hair in a bob haircut. She wears a light blue halter top and blue capri pants.
Becky is a stereotypical SJW, who gets offended by everything she sees, and goes to great, even over the top lengths to promote her political beliefs. For example, she'd gladly ruin her child just to make a statement. She plans on getting pregnant with a child, she never plans on having, just so she can fight for the right to abort it and when she actually does have a child, she wants to raise it to be homosexual, whether he wanted to be that way or not. She cares deeply for her, fianceé, J.C. and She supports through thick and thin. She also makes it's clear that she wears the pants in their relationship, solely to reverse traditional gender roles.
- She adopted an Indian daughter, but pays no attention to it. (MegaChurch)
- She used to have a doll made out of tampons called Tampaxine. (American Doll)

"Can you hypnotize me to forget about someone?" I hear that request more often than you might expect. The demise of a relationship, even one we know should or must end, can cause severe psychological and emotional stress. In ancient cultures, there is a core belief that when we suffer an emotional or physical trauma, a part our essence or soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. A shaman or healer would be called in to perform a ritual called "Soul Retrieval" which was considered crucial to the person's healing process. As a Hypnotherapist, I understand the value of this philosophy and have had the honor to guide many clients through a modern day version of Soul Retrieval using hypnosis to help them heal emotionally, and move forward.
Here are some real life stories about how Hypnosis has helped my clients to heal after a break-up or divorce. (The names have been changed for privacy.)
Stories of Betrayal Haunted Him: Jim had been divorced for two years. His wife had been the love of his life. She cheated on him with a best friend and the two went through a very bitter, ugly divorce. The whole experience left him "gun-shy" to date again for fear of getting hurt. In a very powerful hypnosis session, Jim was able to release the negative emotions from that experience and gain a much needed sense of closure helping him to feel free to move on.
The Ex-Boyfriend Who Haunted Her Dreams: Carrie had been married for over ten years when she came to get help with recurring dreams about an ex-boyfriend. It had been years since the breakup of her college sweetheart and first love of her life. Despite time passing and marrying another man, she kept dreaming that she was back at school, desperately trying to find her first love. She would frequently wake up frustrated and sad. Hypnosis helped her to understand the purpose of her recurring dream, gain some deep inner wisdom and the dreams stopped.
Obsession with the Other Man: Anne was married to a great guy. She described him as the perfect, loving, husband and father to their three children. Despite ideal circumstances, she found herself falling in love with another man she had met through work. Even though she knew it was wrong, she entered into a one night stand with the co-worker followed by a deep and intense emotional affair which they conducted via emails and texting. Anne knew that this love addiction would destroy her marriage if didn't stop. She sought help from a skilled therapist and simultaneously used hypnosis to uncover and clear the unconscious reasons that compelled her obsession.
She Couldn't Say Goodbye to a Soul Mate: Susan found herself stuck in a long-term relationship that she knew was unhealthy for her. Her boyfriend treated her disrespectfully, often criticizing her in public and flirting with other women in her presence. On several occasions, she had even caught him cheating with other women. Each time that she would end the relationship, deep feelings of abandonment and grief overwhelmed her and she would end up take her cheating boyfriend back. In a past life hypnosis session, Sue remembered two previous lives with this man. In both, they had been husband and wife and circumstances had caused his untimely death which left her feeling devastated and alone. After hypnosis, Susan felt empowered to end her relationship with this man in this life.
These cases are just a few examples of the after effects caused by the psychological and emotional stress from a painful break-up or divorce. Here are some common symptoms that can be related to unresolved pain or grief:
- Feeling Emotionally Detached or Numb
- Habitual Replaying of Past Conversations or Memories
- Debilitating Fear of Getting Hurt Again
- Obsession with the Lost Lover
- Grief that Has Not Healed
- Anger that Doesn't Dissipate or Transfers to Other People in Your Life
- Problems with Forgiveness
- Victim Mentality
- Insomnia or Stressful Dreams Related to the Break-Up
- Headaches and Other Physical Problems
- Post Traumatic Stress
- Manifestation or Worsening of Addictions to Numb Emotional Loss and Pain
- Immune System Deficiencies Caused by PTSD
- Hopelessness or Depression
- Feel Like a Part of You is Dead or Gone
If you are experiencing any of these problems, seek advice from a medical doctor or licensed mental health professional before using a complimentary health modality like hypnosis.
Carolyn Myss, the best-selling author of several books on the subject of the mind-body connection to health and healing believes "the emotional energy we divert focusing on painful memories, or in our efforts to suppress them, is the single most common cause of illness and disease."
The truth is hypnosis can't make you forget the one who caused you heartache. However, you can use hypnosis and other similar modalities that have the ability to go deeper than logic and act as powerful catalysts to help you heal emotionally and release the addictive thoughts that often plague us after break-up and divorce.

By: Anna Jusino
A few months ago, we were approached by a member of the City of Fists Roller Derby team asking if we'd be interested in partnering with them on their first annual Chili Cook-off. Partnering normally equals two parties working together to reach a goal, so we asked what nadege's end of the partnership would entail. Their answer: "Nothing, we (City of Fists) would like to give nadege half of the profits raised at the event." Our reply: "Ummm, YES!" In the midst of trying to raise enough money for their upcoming season, they are selflessly choosing to donate HALF of the money towards restoring HOPE in Haiti. Wow, we are blown away by their generosity. We sat down with Anna Jusino, a fearless City of Fists player, to learn more about roller derby and why they chose to "partner" with nadege:
How did you get involved with City of Fists?
- I joined the team in 2013 when I moved to Kokomo and was looking for friends. I wanted something to do that would allow me to meet new people and learn more about this city. I had no idea that these friends from City of Fists would turn into my family - a family that has been through a lot with me.
What is your hope for this team?
- My hope for the team is to grow bigger and achieve more than we can ever dream. I would love to see us become an official member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association league one day and compete in the divisional playoffs. I would also love for our team to become a staple in helping out our community.
What are your goals for the upcoming Chili Cook-off?
- Our goal is to meet more people and host something that will get the community pumped about derby. We also want to bring attention to local business, give someone bragging rights on their chili, and raise money to support our 2nd home bout this September. We are also very excited to give some of the proceeds to Nadege, Inc.
Given the amount of money COF needs to raise, why did the team decide to donate half of the proceeds to Nadege, Inc.?
- We love to see the empowerment of women and want to see others succeed in their dreams and aspirations. When we heard about the possibility of partnering, we loved the idea and what Nadege, Inc stands for.
How can women in general do a better job of empowering other women, whether they live next door or in a different country?
- We can do better by supporting each other. I dislike the negativity that we hear about one another all of the time. We each have our own battles, and we should try to be more understanding of that. Body image happens to be one that most women can understand and ncouraging words go a long way. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard potential players say, "Well I do not have the body for derby." Our response is "everyone has the body for derby." You shouldn't ever let fear of what others might say stop you from taking on a new adventure.
THANK YOU City of Fists for your willingness to empower women both locally and abroad. If you live in the Kokomo area, join us at the 1st annual Chili Cook-off on February 27th from 5-8pm at Oakbrook Church.


text: Booked a co-star role on Comedy Central's new series, South Side, created by and starring Emmy Award nominees Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle! I'm stoked about this series because the script is HILARIOUS, it's created by and featuring Chicago native performers and it's a show about the every day good folks on the South side of Chicago-- not gangs, drugs, shootings, or any of the other doom and gloom that is constantly cast upon our city on television (finally!). I couldn't be more proud to have been a part of this production. It was legit the friendliest, most professional and welcoming set I've ever been on. South Side premieres on Comedy Central early next year...this is gonna be a hit, y'all. Be excited. Be very excited.

The handful of individuals behind local organization PAL -- People Against Litter -- are hoping that great change can come about if every citizen of Gloucester chips in a little bit.
At least, that's the basic premise behind PAL's current initiative to inspire and assist locals in cleaning up the space in front of where they live, that it could lead to much cleaner city streets, free of the litter and clutter that the members of PAL work to pick up every day.
"We thought, that if everyone in Gloucester chips in just a little, it can lead to big-time changes," said PAL Coordinator Judy Rose. "What if we encouraged all the citizens of Gloucester to clean up just in front of their homes? It would make a huge difference."
With that in mind, Rose and fellow PAL members will be available during the opening night of Fiesta to sign up interested Gloucester residents in the endeavor. Every resident who signs up will be given a yellow bag to help aid in the cleanup process, along with an added incentive to help beautify their homes: A packet of flower seeds provided by Gloucester-based Neptune's Harvest.
Those who might not be able to make it to the PAL table on June 28 can easily sign up to be part of the clean up online at palgloucester.com. The hope is that word of mouth and the example of early-adopters will get more and more residents involved in the program, and help lead to a cleaner city.
"We hope that getting people to do this will encourage their neighbors to do it," says Rose. "On our website, we will have a pin on every address that's signed up."
Those who sign up get the yellow bag, packet of seeds and a card with instructions on contacting the Gloucester Department of Public Works to come pick up the trash bags once they've been filled.
"It lists the DPW's hours and how the yellow bags work," Rose said. "What we're trying to do is make people aware that if you're cleaning up areas like in front of your home or your favorite open space, the DPW has yellow bags for those purposes. Most people don't know about them."
Locals should know more about PAL's recent initiative after Fiesta and Independence Day celebrations are complete here on Cape Ann, however: In addition to the table in St. Peter's Square, the group plans to have a float in the Fishtown Horribles Parade on July 3, another way of bringing awareness to the issue and the cause.
"The thing about Fiesta and the Fourth of July is that they're a time when everybody comes together, and has a lot of pride in Gloucester," Rose said. "For the parade, we should have a float, and we'll be out there with clipboards."
Tying the initiative into some of the biggest events on the local calendar are a way of spreading the word and getting others involved in a cause that is personally important to all five women who make up PAL.
"PAL was initiated by a group of friends who, when we go to the beach, we see litter and we pick it up," Rose said. "For years, we were trying to figure out why Gloucester is so dirty. We had a meeting with the mayor; we thought it was the DPW's job to pick up litter, and its not. We thought, 'If its not their job, it must be our job to do it.' But this little group can't do it on their own. We recognized that there are many individuals who are cleaning up, and we thought if we started this website and brought groups of people like this together, we would have a cleaner city."

May 29, 2014 - Be The Change You Want To See in The World! by Damon Corrie
I agree, everything good & bad happens for a reason (we learn from it, but in some cases we are supposed to react to it and take a stand, we'd have no hero's if we all just accepted every incident as being 'meant to be'…it might have been 'meant to be the thing that made you become a leader of others and make a positive difference in the sheep pen of humanity – even if for just a moment in time…for EVERY leader (in every category of society) of men HAS – and continues to make some difference in the world – some for good – some for ill).
In my own small way in the tribe I have been able to change many things just by taking action…..no-one was giving their Amerindian children Amerindian names in our tribe until I was the first to do so 21 years ago…and I was ridiculed then…but up to this year people in the tribe are coming to ME to give their children traditional Amerindian names, same thing for the temporary tattoo art, the ancient game of Makwari, even the planting of Tobacco plants – the Church had eliminated all of that 100+ years ago, but I brought them ALL back….I am proof that 1 person can make a positive difference…but that would not have happened if I told myself that 'I did not come here to change anything' (I tell myself I came here to change everything that I can)…see what I mean?
I believe in past lives, as I have learned about my own, and in turn helped others (including everyone in my family) to learn about their own (after the one I went to – to learn about mine also taught me how to do the same for others), many Christians for example say they do not believe in reincarnation, yet the same Jesus they worship openly spoke of one case of reincarnation when he said "John the Baptist was the Prophet Elijah who was and who has come again" (Elijah died centuries before John), but 'Damon Corrie' will never exist again, these are our unique temporal physical forms we use in this plane of existence just once….but the soul that is within us – and that was in every other being in each of our former lives – will return again in another unique physical form in another geographic place, possibly another gender, another race, another socio-economic class etc….until we have 'experienced' ALL there is that encompasses the 'human physical experience' …no better way than being able to see another perspective than to literally experience a life inside another body….in this way by the time our millenia old 'schooling for the soul' is completed and we are worthy enough to return to the light we came from in the first place – we would have literally been 'connected to all' as we would have loved & suffered as a member of each and every category/classification of humanity that exists….anything less would not be fair nor a 'comprehensive learning experience'
However, just as there is a Ying & Yang…and we came from the source of love and light higher vibrational entities – which we are to try to remember to continue to serve, there are some among this sea of humanity who are serving the lower vibrational negative entities that exist in the physical dimension (anything 'solid' is vibrating slower so to confront negativity one MUST come into the physical plane), and commit great acts of evil….for no servant of the light needs to experience what it is like to rape, sodomize, torture and murder a human child (in order to 'gain experience of all things')…not every experience is required for a soul to mature, we have to learn to differentiate 'wisdom' from 'knowledge'….you can technically 'gain knowledge' of what it is like to commit such a heinous crime by literally doing it, but there will be no 'wisdom' in doing such a thing….any more than gaining the knowledge of what it would feel like to be a wife beater – by beating the crap out of your wife….not all 'knowledge' is good to acquire (hence the distinction about 'knowledge of good AND evil').
This is why there has to be a balance of those who lead by good spiritual example and come to be martyrs primarily for the spiritual sake of others (Jesus, Ghandi, MLK etc) in spiritual warfare – and those who come to be martys primarily for the physical sake of others (Simon Bolivar, Crazy Horse, Toussaint Loverture etc.) and physically fight against those who lead by bad example in physical warfare….otherwise this old saying will continue to be proven again & again: "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil – is for good people to do nothing to stop it"…a sage/guru/mystic is nice to listen to (but they dedicate their lives to trying to remove themselves from the physical world while yet still in it – instead of trying to reform it by confronting the problems here) …but if/when reality gives you the only option of acting with force to save innocent lives…..then that is what any compassionate human being must do.
If I can explain a little about the 'spirit' and 'soul' being separate, it is the reason why you saw granny Jones die and a ball of light leave the top of her head or her chest (her soul) yet you passed her house two months later and saw her looking out her window (her spirit is still here for it is the spiritual copy of her physical form) …or why a pal died in a terrible accident and you saw that pal appear to you mangled and bloodied (his spirit remains the exact copy of how his physical body was when it ceased to live)….or that child at the pool at that hotel in Worthing seen late at night by the pool…the same pool that child's body drowned in 20 years ago, the soul is long gone, but the spirit remains and that is what we see looking exactly like the long dead physical body….or why old watchmen in Dover used to see the spirits of hundreds of black people on the Dover playing field at night (before all the development)….because hundreds of black Barbadians were buried in a mass grave where the Dover playing field now stands – back in the Cholera epidemic in Barbados's history. Even science has proven that there is a spiritual duplicate of physical life forms, you probably saw that National Geographic article from the 1990s that showed a leaf half-cut, yet a photo of it with some cutting edge technological device showed the missing physical half of the leaf perfectly outlined and still there – but just not visible to the naked eye…..that phenomenon corroborates the common statement in most ancient creation texts that says "in the beginning everything was made in spirit form before it was made in physical form" .
Indeed the same molecular matter that every visible and invisible thing is made of we share, so we are everything – and everything is us – in that scientifically proven and valid sense, so when a native American sage tells us about "the spirits of the animals, plants and rocks" etc – he is telling the truth (for there exists the visible physical form AND invisible 'spiritual' form of ALL those things) .. but when we confuse 'soul' with 'spirit' we confuse ourselves – as only man has a soul that re-incarnates into new physical human bodies, the molecules of all physical things 're-cycle' (solid ice melts, becomes liquid water that evaporates, becomes water vapor gas that condenses in the atmosphere, then falls as liquid rain/solid hail/snow…but through it all – the molecules of H2o never ceased to exist – they merely re-combined in different forms each new time) – but does not re-incarnate…this is why mankind should know better and act as planetary custodians not planetary overlords. What we call 'spirit' is actually just a very loose combination of molecular energy matter, not as densely packed so it may appear to be 'invisible' to most or under most conditions/wavelengths that these physical eyes can perceive…but the fact that scientific instruments are able to measure the invisible form of the leaf…only proves it is actually a measurable molecular reality after all. Who can see the Air? Yet we all know the air is real and exists as a scientifically measurable fact in our lives.

If one take a look at Digg.com Microsoft News, and Zdnet Blogs, one could notice that the most popular post is that some recent Vista upgrade forced a reboot after it upgraded the system. I havent seen which update of Microsoft forced them for a reboot and the links to that Microsoft KnowledgeBase Article.
Ofcourse this comes from the people who have been bashing the Vista release and its nothing new from them to hear about these. I should say , they should go learn how to handle Systems in their Company/Firm. Though Microsoft recommends to have set up the Updates to be Automatic, its not good to just install Updates when they arrive, especially when you are working as a System Administrator in a Company.
I use Microsoft Vista Ultimate as my Main OS in one of my laptops and I be sure to manually check for Updates 2 days once and install the updates. But I haven't encountered any such incident that Vista forced me to reboot. The people who said that Vista forced them for a reboot need to give the appropriate Update Details and how their Update settings are set to pull Updates from Microsoft.
When I was working as Windows Server 2003 lead, We used to check the Updates details, whether it needs a restart/reboot or not and whats the Priority of that released update. One just cant install an Update since its available by Microsoft. Some updates may or may not be useful for us. And am sure these people need some training on how to handle the updates.
Here is my Vista Update settings,

And from the screen shot below, you could clearly see that whether this Update requires reboot or not and also the Update Type

Now, I know there would be a separate group which would come up laughing at how the Windows Update is and start campaigning to use Linux ! Brothers and Sisters, given a Linux System, its more vulnerable to updates failure than Windows and also a Linux System can be broken very easily if the Kernel Updates fail. So, it doesn't matter whether Linux or Windows, its how we handle Updates.
