Enjoy Flying With A Flight Simulator!

Did you ever want to fly an plane yourself, but lacked the money, time or skill to do so? Are you a real pilot looking to enhance your skills without having to take off?

With strong technological advancement gone into the whole area of flight simulation software, it is now a positive time to fulfill your dream. As those with more experience are probably aware, products and add-ons are available to make the whole game simulation much more fun.

A flight simulator is a software system that is intended to give the users the feeling of flying an authentic aircraft. The degree of realism in the flight sim actually depends upon the kind of technology being used and the computer hardware available. Nowadays, there are a number of flight simulation games and establishments, which promise to give you the thrill of flying an actual aircraft, while keeping you away from the risks involved in doing so.

There are a number of uses that flight simulators have been put to in the past. The civil and military aviation industries have been constantly using these systems to train and teach pilots how to actually fly different types of aircraft and how to act in different sorts of scenarios and failures. One of the oldest flight simulators was developed just after World War I to help pilots fire a machine gun in a moving cockpit replica. By having an aircraft flight simulator, the pilot could learn how to aim in a setting that cost less, and had minimal hazards.

More recently, the gaming industry has realized the huge potential in flight simulation software. With the continual evolution of this type of software, actual aircraft flying is now available to anyone and everyone who wants to experience the thrill. Flight pro sim is one of the newest games around the block, offering unsurpassed and unparalleled flight simulation experience. Definitely, it seems the future of airplane games is very bright, as most consoles have adapted and advanced their software, to bring the very best & latest simulations to the gaming public.

Are you ready to treat yourself this year to a fantastic, enjoyable and unforgettable Christmas present?

With the technology that is now available in the market and your imagination running wild, the sky is now not the limit when it comes to getting the ultimate flight simulation experience. So, go on, grab a high-quality game or two, design your own cockpit and go flying!

Rest assured, I have tested out nearly every Flight Pro Sim on the marketplace today, and I have found one which I can personally recommend.

Stop wasting your money and time on disappointing flight simulators.

I have put them all through the test and after hundreds of hours flying I have finally found a winner and I can promise it will be the closest you will get to a real flying experience without actually leaving your residence.

Check out what I’ve found at Flight Pro Sim and treat yourself or loved one to a fantastic, lifetime Christmas present.

Garrison Cap

A garrison cap, garrison cover, wedge cap, flight cap, side cap, forage cap, or overseas cap is a foldable cap with straight sides and a creased or hollow crown sloping to the back where it is parted.
batik fashion
It is a variant of the Glengarry, being distinguished by a lack of tartan or check trim, toorie, and ribbons typical of the original. It has been associated with various military forces from the World War I era to the present and various youth organizations. A convenient feature of this cap is that when the owner is indoors and no coat-hook is available on which to hang it, it can be easily stored (by folding it over the belt or, unofficially tucking it into an epaulette.) In the Canadian army, the field service cap (French: calot de campagne) is defined by the Canadian Forces Dress Instructions as a “cloth folding or ‘wedge cap’…Originally designed for wear during field operations and training, it may now also be worn as an undress cap with full and undress uniforms.”[1] The cap is worn as part of the Undress uniform by students of Royal Military College of Canada,[2] and as an optional item by all ranks of Rifle regiments with Ceremonial Dress, Mess Dress, and Service Dress uniforms. The field service cap was originally adopted Army-wide in 1939, and replaced in 1943 by a khaki beret. The Coloured Field Service Cap was a variant permitted for private purchase and worn only when off duty. These were done in the colours of the regiment or corps of the wearer. In the Canadian air force, the blue wedge cap (French: calot) is authorized for wear with all orders of dress.It is properly worn “on the right side of the head, centred front and back, with the front edge of the cap 2.5 cm (1 in.) above the right eyebrow.”[5] Cap badges are worn on the left side, with the centre of the badge 6.5 cm (2-1/2 in.) from the front of the cap centred between the flap and the top seam.The cap worn by general officers is embellished with gold piping. Military police wear a scarlet flash in the front of their wedge caps showing 1 cm (1/4 in.). Prior to Unification in 1968, the Royal Canadian Air Force wore uniforms similar to those worn by the Royal Air Force, including a blue wedge cap. After 1968, the uniforms of the three services were replaced by a universal rifle-green uniform; the air force, however, was permitted to retain the wedge cap, although in rifle green instead of blue. With the advent of the Distinct Environmental Uniform, the blue wedge cap returned. In France, the bonnet de police replaced the kepi because of its greater convenience, when the “Adrian” steel helmet was issued in 1915. The bonnet de police is now worn by anti-riot law enforcement units, such as the Gendarmerie Mobile of the French Gendarmerie (at least when in riot control gear) and the CRS of the French National Police. Members of these units may have to change quickly from an ordinary headdress to a helmet, and an easily foldable cap is therefore practical. Between 1944 and 1962 this headdress was worn by most branches of the French Army in a wide variety of colours, which normally matched those of the kepis historically worn by the particular branch or regiment. At the end of the Algerian War the bonnet de police, was replaced by the beret for most units. In the modern French Army the bonnet de police is still worn by the 1st Regiment of Spahis in the historic bright red of this branch. The French bonnet de police has a different origin than that of the glengarry. The French headdress originated as a long, pointed bonnet with a pompon at the end of the trailing crown (resembling the English nightcap). The rim of the cap was folded upward. Originally the pompon hung down at the back between the soldier’s shoulder blades; subsequently the cap became shorter and the tail hung near the soldier’s ear. By the mid-nineteenth century the bonnet de police had become a true flat cap with no trailing crown. Instead the pompon dangled from a short cord sewn onto the rim in front of the bonnet de police, hanging above the soldier’s right eye. This style of headdress with a trailing tassel was widely worn by both the Belgian Army and the Spanish Army during the first half of the 20th Century. It is still used by the Spanish Foreign Legion. In the British Army, a khaki forage cap, described in a 1937 amendment to the Dress Regulations for the Army as “similar in shape to the Glengarry” was introduced as the Universal Pattern Field Service Cap, and saw extensive service during World War II. In the Royal Air Force, a blue-gray forage cap (or chip bag hat) of an identical style remains widely worn with both working dress and flying suits. In the U.S. armed forces it is known as a garrison cap, campaign cap (not to be confused with campaign hat, a distinct form of headgear), flight cap, garrison hat, fore-and-aft cap, envelope cap, cunt cap, pisscutter or overseas cap and also the flat hat. When first issued to U.S. “doughboys” in World War I, the hat was called the “overseas cap” as it was only worn by troops in France who were given the French type forage cap as they did not have their campaign hats. The overseas cap could be stored easily when the helmet was being worn. A blue overseas cap was adopted post war by the American Legion. The hat largely disappeared between the wars except for the Air Corps, Paratroopers and Armored Force. The hat was widely issued from 1941 on and lost its ‘overseas’ distinctiveness. With the replacement of the campaign hat the garrison cap was given branch of service color piping similar to what had been on the cord of the campaign hat with officers having black and gold and generals gold trim. This practice was later discontinued when individuals had to purchase a new hat if they were transferred to a different branch of the service. Recently it has largely been replaced in the U.S. Army by the beret (except for use with a variation on the Army Green Service Uniform called Dress Greens), but remains in use in the other U.S. Armed Forces. The garrison cap can still be worn but is not favored by Army servicemen and is the standard headgear of Army JROTCs and ROTCs. In the USSR the Garrison Cap was known as a “Pilotka”. They were the most common type of hat in the WWII Red Army and were used alongside ushankas. In Sweden it’s known as (lit. Boat cap) and is mainly used by the Swedish Police Service and has been the standard headwear since the 1980s.

FEELINGS Drive the Real Bottom-Line in Organizations!

“Formula = How to Get Customers and Employees to Love Your Business”

Why are so many businesses and organizations struggling? Why are many employees more disloyal today than ever before? How can managers and leaders continue to produce more, with fewer resources, with more organizational changes, and with an encroaching global market? How can managers maintain high performance while organizational chaos and dysfunction abounds?

E-Mail Amusement or Management Reality Check?

Recently I received one of those chain e-mails captioned “idiot sightings” that would appear humorous if it weren’t so true. It read like this:

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company due to “downsizing,” our manager commented cheerfully, ” this is fun. We should do this more often.” Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer in the headlights stare. (Fortune 500 Company)

Given my 30+ years’ experience in corporations, I suspect that at another luncheon the leadership team of the same company was addressing lack of employee commitment, employee morale, missed goals, employee absenteeism, and employee turnover!

If you think this manager is an isolated incident, here are more examples from my past while working my way to the top of several organization(s); namely, health care, automotive manufacturing, education, robotics, paper packaging and financial services:

-A CFO berating his entire staff, on average once per week ……
“I can get anyone off the streets to do a better job than anyone I currently have on staff!”
-A VP Marketing asking his Assistant to falsify receipts for him in order to gain company expense reimbursement.
-A CEO shouting, “I don’t have to be a good manager, I am the leader of this organization.”

How do you think employees in these organizations deal with outside customers? Unbelievably, these same companies support “programs of the year” and programs of the month” to address customer service issues and employee retention programs!

How and Why People Perform? What’s the Formula?

Those involved in mastering the heart and soul of human performance have learned from great research and authors such as Allison Rossette and Dana Gaines Robinson, performance experts, that the formula for human performance is really simple:

Skills + Knowledge + FEELINGS = Performance (Good or Bad)

Wow! Now, take a look at the examples above and ones from your own experience. What’s the missing link? The obvious answer: FEELINGS, yet many organizations spend millions of dollars training skills and knowledge; in fact, hire employees based upon skills and knowledge. Success Magazine says most people fail in business not because of capability but because of a lack of people skills!

What impact does CHANGE within an organization have on an individual’s performance, department performance, company performance? From the idiot example above, how long would it take that manager’s department to re-establish peak performance, if ever?

It is really very simple but requires a deep understanding of the SIMPLE, STEP-BY-STEP EXPERIENTIAL PROCESSES involved in achieving organizational success, no matter what business or industry; it’s all about relationships and people. It’s about hiring the right people, trusting them, and managing them like owners.

Values, Faith Based Management

Perhaps because of the media attention to the Enron’s, Arthur Anderson’s, and other corporate scandals, we see an emergence of more discussions in management circles on values, ethics, and even faith-at-work programs. We also see CEO’s and Managers who wish to impose their “goodness” on their employees; for example, CEO of Prince Industries, Mark Miller says he believes in “helping his employees even when they may not be open to his help.”

Intent vs. Impact. As we look at the performance formula, would the impact of such good intentions have the same potential negative impact as the idiot quotation?

Companies that Get It! Understanding & Managing the Performance Formula

I consistently have a delightful experience when I visit my local Starbucks because every clerk shows me that they LOVE their jobs; in fact, I even asked one of them about that the other day and he forthrightly said he LOVED his customers and his job. At another visit to the same Starbucks, I asked the Manager how he hired people; his response, “I hire for the right attitude; I know that I can train them on the skills to perform the job.” Notice how many companies are branding themselves around customers feeling the love of their products and services?

Here are a few more examples of corporate champions of performance success – bottom-line profitability:

• Southwest Airlines….Connie Barrett “Queen of Hearts”…..hiring the right people and creating ownership and accountability.
• Synovus Financial…..Jimmy Blanchard offbeat style called servant leadership
• GSD&M (third largest advertising agency in the US)….Roy Spence
• Quad Graphics…..Harry V. Quadracci (believed in management of trusting his people)
• SAS Institute…Jim Goodnight….”Software companies the size of SAS have to replace more than 1,000 people a year; SAS loses fewer than 100, a difference that saves the company between $60-80M annually.” Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford University

Organizations are no different than family…………

………..They mirror the behaviors of functional and dysfunctional family interaction. We must focus on the interactions and behaviors emanating from leadership and how those interactions and behaviors manifest themselves throughout the organization.

It’s not about motivation; it’s not about all singing the company song; it’s not about cooperation vs. achievement. It’s about people coming together around a common cause, understanding clearly the direction for achievement, have clear delineation of roles and responsibility, everyone understanding, honoring and respecting their uniqueness and strengths and the diversity of others, aligning their values with those of the organization and holding people accountable.

This can be SIMPLE but definitely a well defined set of processes!

Here are some thoughts on the royal blackmail scandal. Which one do you agree with?

1 – this story is false and has been made up and released by Buckingham Palace press office to take the spotlight off the Diana inquest because some big news is going to break there. They definitely do manipulate the press in this way.

2 – If it’s true, Harry is the most likely royal to be involved but even in his position it would be difficult to get hold of £50000 to pay off the blackmailers. Surely someone watches over the young royals’ spending?

3 – There was a hint of something going on with Charles a few months back. Wouldn’t it be just wonderful if it was him? He would get the come uppance he so richly deserves. Hope the video is published, can you imagine it. Ha ha ha ha.

4 – My money is on Prince Andrew.
Subtext: I reckon you’re spot on there, thanks. Are you a member of the press? I wouldn’t mind betting you are.

None of them. Swivel your eyes in the direction of Kensington Palace if you’re looking for answers.

Prince Harry’s Love Life on Rocks?

It seems all’s not well between Prince Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Recently, the Royal’s ladylove walked out following a humiliating public bust-up. The row blew up at a charity polo match just as the prince was about to take the field. “Chelsy sat there for about two minutes with a face like thunder and then she walked out,†the Daily Star quoted a source, as saying.

Harry knew about it when he couldn’t find Chelsy at the exclusive Beaufort Polo Club near Tetbury, Glos. “He grabbed his phone and started texting like mad but she didn’t surface again and he left the club as soon as he could,†the source added.

Earlier, there were rumours that the couple was arguing over his lifestyle as an Army officer. While Chelsy sticks to her studies at Leeds University, Harry can’t resist going clubbing with his pals and posted his profile at a wealthy men dating club named SeekWealthy.com. His picture is firstly recongnised by Christina, a user of this dating club.

“She kept saying she needed to take some time out to re-establish herself,” London’s The Mail on Sunday quoted a source as saying. “She still loves him, but she feels she needs to carve an identity as her own person rather than as Prince Harry’s girlfriend.” The source added, “This is not an over-for-good situation.”

A friend of Chelsy’s said, “Harry is incorrigible. He is at that age when he likes drinking with his mates and Chelsy will have to resign herself to that or it will be over.â€

Was that Lord Lucan in the crowd watching Prince Harry tumble while playing Polo in Barbados?

As I recall Lucky Lucan always was a fan of polo. Sure looks like him on the video I saw today. Harry got up, threw his mallet, and stormed off.
John T: Who was there to raise money for orphans? The horse or Lord Lucan?
U.S. Observer: Certainly Sir,you are too harsh in your judgment of Lord Lucan who sacrificed his freedom to protect the honor of the Royal Family.

He thought he was incognito, but didn’t count on eagle eyed viewers such as yourself. Well done!

Newfoundland Travel: Avalon Peninsula

Sunday, July 20, 2003

Our destination today was Terra Nova National Park, on the East Coast of Newfoundland. We were very surprised at the fees they charged: $5.00 per day per adult for use plus $21.00 per day for camping with no amenities (electricity was $5.00 extra per night). The area boasts arboreal forests reaching to the sea. There are many hiking trails, most between four and ten kilometers in length.

We went to the marine interpretation center. A ranger explains the different aquatic animals they have in their touch tank: stars, scallops, various crabs, barnacles, etc. It was very informative. They also have tanks with local fish in them: cod, caplain, etc.

Took to some of the trails today to view the wildlife and the scenery, which Terra Nova has to offer. We saw three plovers, a herring gull, a whiskey Jack (a gray jay), and squirrels, which are not indigenous to Newfoundland. We saw moose tracks and droppings and bear tracks, but no moose or bear yet.

After a day of hiking, it was early to bed.

Drove to St. Johns, the capital Newfoundland. We parked at Pitty Park in St. Johns.  This is located close to Memorial University.

Until 1948 Newfoundland was an independent country. On July 22, 1948, they voted whether to become part of Canada. The first ballot was noncommittal. After some negotiations with the Canadian government and necessary concessions, the people voted confederation by a very narrow margin. Many Newfoundlanders, even today many wished that confederation never took place. The other options they had was to become a member of the USA or remain independent.

Drove down to La Manche (French for the sleeve) Provincial Park. We were put in the overflow section, which is perfect for us, because the area is wide open. There is no electricity or water, except for boiling available in any of the provincial parks. So we are happy to pay $13.00 Canadian per night.  We are spitting distance to the lake, which has water the temperature of bath water. There are hiking trails. One leads to a picturesque falls, where swimming is allowed, but not recommended. Another leads to the ruins of the town of La Manche. After the Confederation in 1949, the residents of the town were given the opportunity to resettle to a larger town, because it was too costly to maintain roads and offer other services, such as electricity. Most refused. After a major storm hit the area in the 1960s, the town had been wiped out and so the people were resettled anyway. Only the foundations of the buildings remain today of this once prosperous fishing village. Similar stories exist for many of the fishing villages on the island. When the fisheries died from dredging, the life expectancy of the Newfoundland fisherman was also terminal. Many chose to give up the old ways, which originally had brought their families to this abundant island, and moved to larger towns to find less meaningful work.

Today we were going to go whale watching.  We found out that Gatheralls in Bay Bulls charged $50.00 per person, but someone recommended Seabird or Ocean Adventure Tours out of Bauline East, closer to the Park, for only $20.00 per person for a one hour trip. We decided top check them out and see what they offered. We met Jerry, the owner operator of Seabird, who had just returned from a trip out to Great Island, the Puffin Sanctuary. He said that they had seen about six humpback whales out on the briny. By the time we left our small group of four had increased to over twenty people. There was plenty of room on board for all. Three Islands comprise Witless Bay Ecological Reserve: Great, Green, and Gull. Great is the largest and lays just off the coast of Bauline East. The first bird pointed out was the Northern Fulmar, a rarity since there are only twenty pairs on the island. Then there were the little puffins skimming the waters, wings beating almost as fast as hummingbirds, their colorful beaks contrasting to the black and white bodies. Also in abundance were terns, or Murrs in Newfoundlander, and black-legged Kittiwakes, a smaller member of the gull family, who has dipped its wing tips into bottles of India Ink. Enough of the birds. Off for larger prey.

Everyone on the boat was scanning the horizon as we headed out to sea. Finally someone shouted, “Thar she blows, starboard.” Off on the chase we went and there was our first humpback whale, complete with a dive with a wave of his tail fluke. All in all we must have seen about a dozen whales. The number might have been more or less. It is very hard to identify them unless you get pictures. We got a couple of their flukes, which usually have the identifying marks. Some of the whales were even vocalizing to us. Everyone on board acted like eight year old David, full of enthusiasm and awe at these magnificent persons. Sometimes we were less than five feet from the whale. Somehow I believe that they were having as much fun as we were, like the porpoises in Charleston, SC Harbor. Our trip on the sea was over an hour long and we hadn’t even started to return to Great Island or to the wharf.

We returned to the leeward side of the island and saw the nesting sites of the Kittlwakes, with adults and babies. We passed by numerous caves, one called skull cave because it looked like one, and natural arches etched from the rock by water and wind. The entire trip took almost two hours. Everyone got their money’s worth, plus some.

After a quick sandwich we left for the twenty minute drive to Ferryland. We wanted to see the Colony Avalon and other interesting sights there. We would be returning to Ferryland for the Shamrock Festival tomorrow. When we arrived, they were still setting up the venue. Colony Avalon is right there too. We joined a guided walking tour, which had just begun, outside the visitor’s center. Jennifer Carter was our guide. If she did not know the answer to our questions, she was in constant communications with someone who did.

Colony Avalon is an active archeological site of a four acre plus community founded by George Calvert, AKA, Lord Baltimore, in 1621. Situated on the banks of a naturally protected harbor, the colony thrived throughout the 17th century, cod fishing being the primary industry. Thousands of artifacts have been found on the site, some dating back even further to the Beotuck tribes and 16th century Basque, Portuguese, French and English seasonal fishermen. The Avalon Colony, however, had cobblestone streets, sewerage system flushed twice daily by high tide, forge, wells, warehouses with doors on the harbor, palisades, a manor house, plus many other buildings. Excavations are still underway, with new artifacts found daily. On the day we were there, they had found part of a crystal goblet and a gold coin.

Lord Baltimore abandoned the settlement to Sir David Kirke and went on to found the colony of Maryland. Kirke did so well in building the colony, he was put on trial in England and convicted, most probably of embezzlement of funds which should have gone to the crown. His wife took over for another twenty-five years. Most people have never heard of this prosperous settlement which predates Plymouth Rock. St. Augustine had been founded in 1565 and Jamestown in 1607.

Went on a hiking trail to the ruins of the town of La Manche. The town was started in 1840 and built on the side of a steep hill, at least fifty feet above the shoreline. Living there had to be pretty tough because everything was up and down the steep hillside. Even though it was almost a mile from the closest road, the town prospered. When confederation with Canada took place in 1949, the government wanted to relocate the town so that services good be given. They refused. But their decision was reversed when a storm wiped out the town. It had to be one heck of a storm, because the town was so high from the water’s edge. All that remains are foundations, some with basements, the cables from a suspension bridge traversing the river, and a doctor’s house in ruins across the river and up the hill.

We saw a humpback whale frolicking in the bay. On the return home I found an old stone spearhead and gave it to Jordan, a ten year old boy who was taking the hike with us. Tanya Herlidan was our naturalist guide. Later she brought to our trailer pictures of the town as it once had been.

‘Tis a fresh lovely Irish day to tour the Irish Loop: foggy, rainy, and windy. Our first stop was to Ferryland to the historical museum. We wanted to hear about the German W.W.II burials. The young people who were at the museum knew nothing about it, but had heard stories of U-boats in the area. We had been told that the Germans brought the body bags ashore and the local citizens had services for them and then buried them in their cemeteries. We were told that it was possible, because of the solitude of the local lighthouse, presently shrouded in fog, would be a good place to dump the bodies. They could not confirm the story, however. We asked where the old cemetery was located. We found it. As you can see in the picture, it was quite unkempt; many of the headstones were illegible and broken. Whether the story is true or legend, it still is a great story.

Drove through Renews, where the Mayflower stopped for supplies while on the way to Plymouth Rock. Then off to Portugal Cove South. The landscape was fairly open at this point, a great place to view the caribou herds, which number in the thousands. Arrived at the visitor center at Portugal Cove South in the fog. We were told by the young ladies at the center that the fog had lifted and it was quite nice outside. For the past week, they could not see across the road. Portugal Cove South has 158 days of fog per year, which is almost ½ of the time. When asked for the reason why they were so blessed, they said that it was because of the confluence of the Labrador, Gulf of Mexico and St. Lawrence Currents. In the visitor’s center were exhibits on the Titanic and on fossils. The lighthouse men at Cape Race were the first ones to hear the SOS from the ill fated Titanic in 1912. The wireless and the old house were demolished for a new on a few years later. So some historical artifacts lay buried. Along the road to Cape Race is Mistaken Point, a treasure trove of 575 million year old fossils. Because the cod industry of the area has been destroyed, the local citizens have become the self-appointed keepers of the fossils offering tours and chasing off the poachers. Today was not an optimal day for viewing them, because they turn into a slip and slide into the North Atlantic. When I asked the young ladies what was available in the area to keep them here, they said, “Nothing.” Both were college students at St. John’s majoring in Social Work and Physical Therapy and were home only for the summer.

Off to Trepassey we drove. Trepassey was the liftoff point for Amelia Earhart’s Transatlantic journey in 1928. We were in a driving rain storm. We took refuge in a restaurant, ate lunch and watched the storm. Off to St. Shotts to see some caribou. They were all hiding behind the fog. We saw zero caribou on the entire trip. We were told that the numbers have been severely reduced due to disease. There are very few left on the Avalon Peninsula.

We proceeded to the West side of the Irish Loop. The shroud of Brigadoon lifted to reveal a beautiful Kelly Green landscape with small farms dotting the hillside. We broke into song, happy to see the remaining seventy miles of the Irish loop.

Went to Cape Spear, the Easternmost point on the North American Continent. Even though Newfoundland is an island, it is still considered part of the North American Continent. Just as Nord Cap in Norway, also an island, is considered the Northern most point in Europe. Besides an 1835 lighthouse, one of the oldest in Newfoundland, the cape is also the emplacement of battlements erected by the US and Canadian Armies during W.W.II to protect the St. John’s shipping lanes from Nazi submarines. While there we saw minke whales breaking the surface. They were pretty far out to get pictures. Nevertheless it was exciting.

Returned back to the city and drove through the city. We stopped for ice cream at Moo Moo’s, a favorite spot for their 88 flavors of hard packed ice cream. After the cones we went to the Basilica of St. John’s, where the diocese keeps their archives. We were told by the historian there that most of the Pelley clan settled in Anglican communities. St. John’s was the closest port to Ireland. From St. John’s they traveled to Halifax and then to Boston. Many Catholic Irish came over and settled in protestant towns because the Catholic Church was not well established in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The research which has been done is now being catalogued. I will send more information on to those who are interested in their genealogy.

Today we drove the Killick coast. A killick is an anchor made out of long stones enclosed in pliable wooden sticks tied at the top and with crossed ones at the bottom to dig into the seabed.

Along the way are towns with names like Torbay, where the English landed to retake St. John’s from the French.

Further on is Flat Rock, where the cod was laid out on the flat rocks to dry. Pope John Paul II was there to bless the fleet. It is also home to a replica of the Grotto at Lourdes, which is visited by many pilgrims.

Further on is Pouch (pronounced Pooch) Bay, founded earlier than 1611, which was the first documented date. Although permanent houses were taxed by the Crown in the 17th and 18th Centuries, neither the Royal Navy nor pirates dared to enter the dangerous waters of the harbor. So the town thrived.

We then took a side track to St. Francis Point, via a gravel road with barely enough room for passing. At the end of the road is a helicopter pad and light beacon to warn sailors of the rocks. To the North are Baccalieu Peninsula and Baccalieu. The view is breathtaking.

The Sierra Club must also think this too, because we met a group of hikers on tour of the East Coast Trail having lunch on the pad.

Finally on the trail is Portugal Cove, the terminus for the ferry boat to Bell Island. Bell Island is noted for its iron mines, which go under the sea. During W.W.II, the German Government hired the local boat captains to man their U-boats, because they were familiar with the area’s waters. Newfoundland, at the time was an independent country. One of the ferry boats recently had a collision with a Russian trawler,  in restricted waters ,putting it out of commission. The government does not know whether to prosecute or reward the ferry captain. We had lunch at Beach Cove Café, part of a B & B by the same name. The fries were superb, a large platter of thick wedges.

Drove to the Cape Shore loop, which includes Placentia, the original French Capital. We took the overland route via a gravel road. The Fradshams have a summer home on this road, called Misty Mountain. No one was at home. So we left a note. The road passes by the Cataracts which cut a sixty foot gorge through the hills; a pretty sight. We parked at the beach where the Placentia Regatta takes place in July, part one of the Triple Crown of Newfoundland.

We visited the town of Placentia settled in 1662 to protect the French interests in North America. Castle Hill overlooking the city is a National Historical site. It successfully protected the city from invasion, but not from blockade. The ground was not conducive for farming and rival factions slowly doomed the colony. The French then built the fortifications Louisbourg, NS, leaving Placentia to the British.

Also in Placentia are other archeological excavations happening at the base of the harbor. A dig is being done at Fort Louis, a military post, and at Fort Frederick, across the harbor inlet. The former can be visited and you can see the process at work. The latter is less accessible, but a better quality of artifacts is being discovered there. They can be seen at the archeological treatment center in town.

Drove to St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, which is strictly for the birds: gannets,

On the return trip to Placentia we stopped at different towns along the way. First was St. Brides, whose population doubled in 1941, when the Americans set up a listening base for German ships in the area. More than 400 GIs stayed for the war years. They were able to relay messages to the US Naval base at Argentia thirty miles to the North.The military medical staff also took care of the locals since their was no other medical care available to them.

Next we stopped at Gooseberry Cove, a small cove with a blackish sandy beach. It was quite peaceful, watching the wave come on the sand. Sand is unusual in Newfoundland, since most of the beaches are rocky. Some rocks strewn the beach, but most had been pulverized into sand by the action of the currents.

Our next stop was Ship Cove, which had a man made stone breakwater. On the breakwater people erected cairns. I added mine to the collection. Meanwhile Maggie collected drift wood to work on her carving.

Home to Placentia and a stop at the Archeological Center. They had just found a silver coin, slightly smaller than a dime, with a cross inscribed on one side. The opposite side was more difficult to read. The lady also show us a copper coin, recently found, with three fleur d’leis on one side.

Off to the O’Reilly house, built around the turn of the century for the local magistrate. It has been refurbished with donated items. The house also contains exhibits regarding the resettlement of many communities in Placentia Bay. The stories are quite sad. All of the towns were fishing villages, independent from each other. As long as there was fish, there was work. When fishing was forbidden to them, their way of living was taken away. This is somewhat reminiscent of the destruction of the buffalo and the resettlement of the Native Americans.

John has a CD he has recorded of Native American flure music. We have learned that RVing has a learning curve. We want to pass on some advice the help others avoid this trecherous curve. Life is an adventure. We are living it to the utmost.

Grand theft auto vice city stories PSP….helicopter help!?

So, I have heard that you can use and drive a helicopter in GTA vice city stories for the PSP. I have also heard the in order to do this, you have to walk up to a heli pad. I have walked up to THREE different helipads. The one at the hospital, and the 2 next to the airport. The thing is, there are NEVER any helicopters!…..

So my questions are,

1) is there a specific time helicopters come and land on one of those 3 helipads I mentioned above?

2)is there ANOTHER helipad that I can go to that WILL have a helicopter?

3) is is EVEN POSSIBLE to get in a helicoper from a helipad?

Thanks!!
