Namaste. The Colorado fire has destroyed 1,000 homes including that of Karma Sherpa and his family. Karma’s approach to staying positive is remarkable. He, Dafuti and their children are safe (this photo is from a local hotel today), which he recognizes is most important.

While Karma continues to teach by reminding us that material possessions are temporary, their home and possessions are gone.

They made us believe that luxury was the rare, the expensive, the exclusive, and everything that seemed unattainable …

Now we realize that luxury were those little things that we did not know how to value when we had them and now that they are gone, we miss them so much …

Luxury is being healthy. Luxury is not stepping in a hospital.
Luxury is being able to walk along the seashore.

Luxury is going out on the streets and breathing without a mask.

Luxury is meeting with your whole family or with your friends.

Smiles are luxury. Luxury is the hugs and kisses.

Luxury is enjoying every sunrise.
Luxury is the privilege of loving and being alive.

All this is a luxury and we did not know …

A Little Comedy Can Go A Long Way..hehehe

But sometimes the only way to deal with it is to look at it in a lighter vein. We mourn the loss of the following businesses:

A local bra shop has gone bust.

A mining company has gone under.

A solvent ( extraction) co has become insolvent.

A manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation.

A dog kennels has had to call in the retrievers.

An origami book company has folded.

An aerial installation company has called in the receivers.

A key company has gone into lockdown.

A watchsmith has wound down and called time.

An ice cream shop has had its assets frozen.

A shoe factory has been soled and employees given the boot.

The Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn’t ketchup with orders.

The tarmac company has reached the end of the road.

The bread company has run out of dough.

The laundrette has been taken to the cleaners.

And finally,

….the dry cleaners and ironing service have run out of steam.

Whether it’s turning your old phone into free minutes soldiers can use to call home or clicking a button to send a cup of joe to a Joe, here are a few ways technology can help you, help a soldier.

·         1 TroopTree

TroopTree

TroopTree is a free private video messaging platform for military families to stay in touch with their loved ones overseas.

KeepTree provides the free service which allows soldiers or their family members to leave messages for each other to be viewed at any time.

The videos can be stored and saved forever so families can rewatch the videos or a soldier can record a birthday message ahead of time for his or her child to watch at a later date.

“TroopTree’s video technology helps overcome many deployment communication challenges for troops because video messages can be viewed and responded to at any time, which eliminates the need to work around busy schedules and huge time zone differences to set up a live chat,” KeepTree’s general manager Brody Ehrlich told FoxNews.com.

You can leave your own thank you video on TroopTree’s “Thank You Vault” by visiting www.trooptree.com and clicking “Record a Thank You Video.”

·         2 CompTIA’s IT-Ready Apprentice Program

Courtesy of CompTIA

A Minnesota-based company with a “teach a man to fish” philosophy is helping veterans land jobs in the Information Technology (IT) field.

“One of the things that we learned is that veterans are coming back with a variety of skills that are poorly understood in the civilian world,” Creating IT Futures Foundation executive director Charles Eaton told FoxNews.com. “They know how to solve problems and IT is essentially about solving problems.”

Eaton’s CompTIA’s IT-Ready program is completely free of charge and 80% of its participants receive employment in the IT field after completing the training.

“It’s not enough to give money away,” Eaton said. “The feel good aspect is nice, but it doesn’t help improve people’s lives.”

One veteran who went through the program has been happily employed in IT for a year since receiving his IT-Ready certificate.

“My job in the military was infantry which most people wouldn’t suspect to be computer involved but we use computers every day in all aspects of our jobs,” Michael Dauffenbach who served six years in the National Guard told FoxNews.com.

Dauffenbach was even invited to the White House to an event hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama in an effort to encourage companies to hire veterans.

Find out how you can support CompTIA’s IT-Ready Program by visiting their website.

·         3 Cell Phones for Soldiers

In 2004, Cell Phones for Soldiers was created by 12 and 13-year-old Robbie and Brittany Bergquist of Norwell, Mass. The teens wanted to help keep military families connected so they created a service that recycled old cell phones and turning them into calling cards for soldiers.

“Cell Phones for Soldiers started as a small way to show our family’s appreciation for the men and women who have sacrificed the day-to-day contact with their own families to serve in the U.S. armed forces,” the teens’ father, Bob Bergquist writes on their website.

Since its inception, Cell Phones for Soldiers has provided 181 million minutes of free talk time for soldiers as well as help recycle 10.8 million cell phones.

In 2012, the Bergquist family started a new effort called Helping Heroes Home, to provide emergency funds for returning veterans to help with physical and emotional hardships.

Find out how you can recycle your old cell phone at CellPhonesForSoldiers.com.

·         4 Cup of Joe for a Joe

Courtesy of Green Beans Coffee

The Internet makes supporting a veteran as easy as clicking a button. Literally.

For just $2, you can send a cup of coffee to a soldier. California based coffee company Green Beans Coffee, has several cafes serving soldiers at military bases in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, Djibouti East Africa, Oman, and United Arab Emirates.

“I often say it is easier for us to deliver coffee to our Troops in hot war zones than it is to drive day-to-day awareness for them here at home,” Green Beans Coffee vice president of marketing Clay Lingo told FoxNews.com

The post FINGER LAKES: I LOVE NEW YORK appeared first on Good News!.

Dear Good News Friend’s and Members,

WE  ALL love Pete Seeger.  He was a hero for us.  We had the chance to interview him, create shows with him, spend time at the Beacon Sloop Club, be on the Board of the Clearwater New York City division, use Pete’s songs in and his SING A LONG approach as the heart of our www.peacedayparty.org event and so much more.  We   have shared a clip from  Mr. Brown’s wonderful production of The Power of Song that emulates what Pete is all about…. The world will only change from small groups of people and so much more.  We will miss Pete dearly and will be dedicating our Peace Day Party event in 2014  to this very humble talented caring man…. A LEGEND IN OUR TIME.

Paul Sladkus and the Good News Family  

Seeger’s best known for songs include “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” “If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)” and “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season).”

But his influence extended far beyond individual hits.

His grandson Kitama Cahill Jackson told CNN that the singer died of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital on Monday evening.
