Tomb Guardians over the past year has been asked to release our miniatures in a resin/plastic material because a lot of you do not like metal. So for nearly a year we have discussed and researched the best way to produce a high quality, high detail miniature that is far above the current standard on the market. We are happy to announce that we have found a method and decided to release all our 28mm monsters in a High Resolution Resin. These miniatures will come with a 1 year guarantee, if you break one we will replace it for FREE! Just mail it back to us. Bobby Jackson, Jason Weibe, Gene Van Horne and Patrick Keith help create these amazing creatures. We hope you enjoy our Monsters and want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Neat little Kickstarter to make a set of Plastic Toy Soldier Style Army Women.
The BMC Toys Plastic Army Women is a 24-piece set of plastic female soldier figures in 6 different poses:
Pathfinder Captain Standing Rifleman Kneeling Rifleman Prone Sniper Grenadier Bazooka Operator November 16th Update: Stretch Goals #1, #2 and #3 are unlocked. All packs of Plastic Army Women are getting upgraded to 36 figures in 12 different poses. Additional poses include:

In an effort to reduce confusion by people seeking information and asking on topic questions, we are creating two threads for our Bones 5 Kickstarter.
This is the thread for conversations, enthusiasm, and commentary.
This thread will be lightly moderated to ensure forum rules are followed and specific questions may be relocated to the Official Information thread.

Part II. Sharing Files and Printers
Most Windows-dominated networks use SMB/CIFS for sharing files and printers. The importance of this protocol on such networks makes Linux software for handling it a potentially valuable tool. The Linux server suite for SMB/CIFS is known as Samba, and it's described in the first three chapters of this part of the book. Chapter 3 describes global Samba configuration options required to get Samba to work and to take on a handful of other modest duties. Chapter 4 covers defining Samba shares—directories and printers to be shared with clients. Chapter 5 describes configuring Samba as a domain controller, which can authenticate users for other servers. The fourth and final chapter of this part of the book, Chapter 6, describes Linux SMB/CIFS client operations. These can be important both when Linux is running on a desktop system and for some types of server operations, such as a Linux backup server (which may take on the file-sharing client role in order to back up Windows systems). Between these functions, Linux can take on some of the most important server functions routinely held by Windows systems in a Windows network—sharing files, sharing printers, and authenticating users. (Part III describes other authentication protocols and also covers using Linux as an NT domain client.)
Samba is a complex server suite. This book can cover the basics of Samba operation, but if you want to take advantage of Samba's more exotic features, you may want to consult ...

Former legislative aide tapped to run for Colorado House seat
A vacancy committee tapped Kim Ransom, a former legislative aide, to run as the Republican nominee for a Douglas County seat in the Colorado House.
Ransom beat four other contenders in the first vote Saturday for the seat now held by state Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, who is running for the Senate seat held by Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, who is term limited. The other four vying for Holbert's seat in Saturday's vote were Debbie Cohen, Kim Monson, Debbie Lewis and Donald Parrot.
"I was very lucky and I was very blessed," Ransom said of the vote.
The 55-year-old mother of four is a customer service representative for a vacation rentals outlet, VRBO.com. She previously worked as a legislative aide for two Douglas County state senators, Republicans John Evans and Tom Wiens.
The winner of the June GOP primary for Holbert's seat was Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, but he dropped out of the race after being tapped by Democratic Gov. John Hicklenlooper's administration to serve as the child welfare hotline system manager for the Colorado Department of Human Services starting July 14. Another vacancy committee will meet Monday to pick a replacement for Hilbert's seat on the Douglas County board.
Ransom faces Democrat Karen Jae Smith in November, but it will be tough for Smith as the seat is in the heart of Republican Country.

ShoppingMonday, June 11th, 2007
Another busy week here on the farm. Still no rain to speak of. We did get a small shower one evening, but it was barely enough to settle the dust. There has been rain all around us, but it seems to split and go around us. Most farmers in the area are reporting their hay crop as about half what it usually is. Ours was down a little, but not too much.
The 6000 has really earned it's keep the past few weeks. It's been going non stop except for having to replace the battery. That's my fault, I have a bad habit of leaving the key on. I've run the battery dead 3 times that way. This last time did it in. I was pleasantly surprised that an almost exact replacement at Napa was only $74.95. I expected much worse. I'm hoping to find time to give the 6000 and hay roller a bath this week.
I've got to stay away from Tractor Supply Company. We went on Friday and before I got out of there I'd spent a thousand bucks. I've been wanting a toolbox and a fuel tank for the back of the truck. They had a one time offer on a combo for a little under $700 so I grabbed it. Also picked up a 12 volt pump and some halters for the horses.
Tractor Supply continues to add to their selection of John Deere merchandise. Garett jumped on the bandwagon with the girls and grabbed a shirt that reads "Can You Dig It" and has the Deere logo on it. Kaylee found the best one yet though. Her new one is pink and says "Silly Boys, John Deeres Are For Girls". I here that Mahindra will be releasing some new T shirts, including some for kids, soon.
BJ and the kids helped me give the truck a bath this week. It's funny they call the truck "old blue". We are still wrestling with whether we should replace old blue or just keep it going. I need to spend at least a thousand on the truck to get it back in shape. I'm tired of being without a CD player and air conditioning and wonder if the money wouldn't be better spent on a down payment on something newer.
We are still shopping for a good square baler and tossing around what's best new or used, New Holland or Massey ferguson or Case IH, Inline or traditional. There are so many choices it's unreal. I can see advantages in all. I located a used needle for the old IH 46. Cost including shipping will be $70. I guess I'll go ahead and order it.
Last night was rodeo night here. They had it at the South Ky Horseman's Arena in Strunk Ky. It was a different promoter this year and I was very dissapointed. While the bulls were better, the promoter doesn't have a clue what the environment is supposed to be like at a rodeo. There was no clown, they played nothing but rock and roll music, and the anouncer didn't introduce the riders before or during their ride. Add to that the fact that the whole thing was in about a 20 ft circle and well it just wasn't very exciting. They did keep telling us all about the sponsors though. At least the girls and John Thomas had a good time. Garett had a stomach ache so he stayed home with my mom.
The excavator continues to clear land. It kind of makes me sad to think that this beautiful land that I've dreamed of having as pasture someday is going to have a commercial chickenhouse on it. My dad keeps telling me not to get discouraged that the income will allow us to buy even more land. We picked up a couple acres of land that we will need to widen the county road this week. That means more work for me. The land had 2 trailers on it, but one was in too bad of shape to salvage. The other we plan to rent to Alan who shoes my horses and give him a job in the chickenhouses. That means we've got to get it in shape.
Well I better get at it……lots to do…… be sure to check out the pics I've added to the site. Thanks for reading and check back soon!

(Macropus giganteus)
The eastern grey kangaroo's fur is woolly and grey-brown in colour, and they have a small head with big ears. Their tail can grow up to four feet long (1.2 metres) which is very helpful for balancing and standing up straight. An eastern grey kangaroo can live anywhere from 15-20 years of age in the wild. A big male can measure up to 2.8 metres from his nose to the tip of his tail, and can weigh up to 66kg. Females are much smaller only reaching approximately 32kg.
Eastern grey kangaroos can be found living on the open grassland, open woodland and forested coastal areas of eastern Australia and Tasmania.
Eastern grey kangaroos are herbivores and predominately a grazing animal eating mainly shrubs and grass. They feed mostly at night and early in the morning. During the day, eastern grey kangaroos lie under shaded trees or in scrapes they have dug. This is also where they sleep.
Breeding occurs throughout the year but more births occur in the warmer summer months. A baby kangaroo is called a joey. A joey is born 33-38 days after his/her parents mate. The tiny embryonic kangaroo emerges from its mother's body and slowly climbs up her abdomen and into her pouch. When the joey is first born it weighs under a gram and is as tiny as 15 millimetres, very much like a small, pink jellybean. Once born the joey will stay in its mum's pouch for up to 8 months. At this age the joey will begin to start exploring and go for very short little hops around out of mum's pouch.
The joey will still be able to fit into its mothers pouch until it is around one year old, but will only try getting back in when he/she is cold or scared. When the joey finally does becomes too big for mum's pouch she will refuse to let him in. By this stage, mum may already have another little joey suckling on her teat.
Eastern Grey Kangaroo Profiles
Age: 16 Years (DOB 15/1/2004)
Sex: Female
Here at Australia Zoo, we have very special member in our macropod family, Ivory. Ivory is an eastern grey kangaroo and as you can see she is not very grey at all-she is more white in colour!
The reason for this is that Ivory has a genetic trait known as leucism. Leucism occurs due to a recessive gene found in the DNA of animals. It stops animals from producing certain pigmentation in either their fur or skin. While this condition can be found in most animal species, it is extremely rare, with only one in every 10,000 being leucistic.
Australia Zoo is lucky enough though to have two more leucistic animals; a saltwater crocodile named Casper and a reticulated python named Jenny.
When you next visit Australia Zoo, come say hi to Ivory, she is not that hard to find!

A Blue border and/or a Brown border. Backface should be fairly simple
Desired Style:
Collectible Card Game
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Of our existing border design, we don't want the fists in the corners but the circles themselves are OK but not necessary. The Height/Weight section is unnecessary. The borders come in colors, we would like to see Brown and/or Blue for this contest.
 To repeat, the contest is (1) Backface with logo from "Street Cred" logo contest and (1) or (2) Borders, 1 being blue and other being brown.

Concealed carry 'hot' in Sangamon, Macon counties
January 20, 2014 at 08:19 AM
The State Journal-Register
Sangamon and Macon counties are a hotbed for concealed carry permit applicants, according to Illinois State Police data released last week.
Excluding Chicago-area and Metro-East counties, Sangamon County's 569 total applicants were second only to far northern Winnebago County, where 597 people had applied.
But when looking at the numbers per capita, it's a slightly different story.
In non-metropolitan counties with 100,000 or more people, Macon County leads in per capita concealed carry applications with a ratio of one applicant for every 257 residents. Sangamon County's applicant ratio is one for every 347.
Cumberland County in southern Illinois led all counties in per capita applicants with one for every 196 residents — of the 11,048 people, 56 have applied.
Sangamon County Sheriff Neil Williamson on Friday said local interest in concealed carry has been piqued for a long time.
"Downstate especially, (concealed carry) has been bandied around for a decade," he said.
Williamson thinks the wealth of media centered at the state capital keeps the concealed carry debate at the forefront of citizens' minds. So when citizens are always thinking about something, it's only a matter of time before they act.'
"It's not unusual that the minute people can get online, they'll apply," Williamson said of citizens who want permits. He said Sangamon County's high number of applicants reflects the "pent-up frustrations people have felt over the years" about why it took Illinois so long to allow concealed carry.
Organized effort
Comfort, along with coverage, may be a reason for local support of Second Amendment rights.
"A lot of these people have grown up around guns," said Rep. Rich Brauer, R-Petersburg. "They want that ability to carry because they have that comfort level."
Brauer also said that rural residents would be better able to protect themselves during a violent encounter if they have firearms close at hand.
"By the time they put a call in to 911, it might be a half hour or 45 minutes before" officers arrive on scene, he said.
As for Macon County, public organization could explain the widespread support there.
Dan Cooley, owner of The Bullet Trap range in Macon, recalls "a very pro-gun, pro-carry attitude" from Macon County Sheriff Tom Schneider and Macon County State's Attorney Jay Scott.
Schneider said that leading up to the passage of the concealed carry bill last July, he and Scott saw an opportunity to educate the public. And while he said their personal efforts were "not a catalyst for the numbers, it was an organized effort throughout Macon County."
Scott agreed, noting that Macon County was one of a handful of counties in Illinois that announced last summer it wouldn't punish citizens with concealed firearms even though a statewide bill hadn't yet been passed.
"There were several sheriffs and state's attorneys in the other counties that felt the right of the citizens should be acknowledged," Scott said.
The 500 people on Cooley's concealed carry training class waiting list felt the same way. It took three months just to get through the backlog, Cooley said.
Business is still steady today. He offers the training three days a week with classes of 15 students at a time.
Women boost numbers
Another explanation for concealed carry's local popularity is an expansion of participation by women.
Stephanie Conner, manager of Bullet Express in Auburn, says it's mostly about self-protection.
"I had one woman who was very adamant on taking (the course) because she was attacked a year ago," Conner said. "She wanted to protect herself."
Of the seven instructors at Bullet Express, two are women.
Cooley sees the same trend at The Bullet Trap.
"Women are really starting to come into this thing. Personal protection is their primary concern," he said.
He estimates women make up 20 percent of his students, more than he's ever had before — and enough for him to offer a ladies day once a week at his range.
Whatever the reasons for local support of concealed carry rights might be, Sheriff Schneider said, "I think the support was initially there."
State's Attorney Scott agreed.
"We've got a lot of law-abiding citizens here who feel like they've been denied that right long enough," he said.

REALbasic/REAL Studio 2009 Release 4 Now Shipping
14 comments:
Hmmmm... it's almost October and no sign of Cocoa.
This very blog told us that Cocoa would be "shipping some time this fall." It also suggested that Cocoa release had slipped by "one quarter" from the end of Q2 2009 to the end of Q3 2009.
Q3 2009 ends tomorrow and Cocoa support in Rb is nowhere to be found.
I guess this is yet another in the long line of "Cocoa Fables" told to us by Real, starting with this one...
"Jan 9, 2006: Support for Cocoa ... will ship later this year"
IF Cocoa ships in December 2009 it will only be three years late.
So... don't even bother trying to explain the schedule for Cocoa at this point... we no longer believe you.
- September 29, 2009 at 12:41 PM
It would be nice to have an update on Cocoa and the SQLite version.
Any more news on either?
- September 29, 2009 at 1:18 PM
- Aitch748 said...
Well, I'm a little disappointed that Cocoa isn't here too, but I believe that we were in fact told months ago that REAL would take as long as it took to get Cocoa right.
- September 29, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Less than four month ago this very blog told us we would have Cocoa by now.
Here's the link the Geoff's previous post on the topic. And here's a quote from that blog entry:
We are making terrific progress. It was slow going at first but we able to move faster now that we have laid the groundwork. At this point, we should be feature complete by the end of the summer and shipping some time this fall.
I guess Real was just blowing smoke... again.

When we give an update on something we are working on, we are not trying to mislead anyone. Quite the contrary. But the Cocoa project is a HUGE project and everyone knows that the bigger a project is, the more difficult it is to project cost, delivery date, etc. However, as we make progress (and the remaining parts of the project get smaller) our ability to predict delivery gets easier.
Believe me when I say that if we knew for sure at the beginning of the development process exactly when we would be done with Cocoa, we would just say that. Again, we are not trying to mislead anyone. That would benefit no one.
The other choice for us is to simply say nothing but we know that users want updates on important issues such as this one.
- September 30, 2009 at 10:32 AM
> However, as we make progress our ability
> to predict delivery gets easier.
And yet, that's the opposite of your actions.
Jan 2006: "Support for Cocoa ... will ship later this year."
Sep 2009: "we will take as long as is necessary"
Three (almost four) years ago Real's Cocoa announcement dripped with false certainty. As recently as June, Geoff was telling people Cocoa would be shipping "this fall".
In contrast, the most recent blog post about Cocoa is full of uncertainty and sets no expectation of a ship date.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
- September 30, 2009 at 11:08 AM
- Charles Yeomans said...
Geoff is not "blowing smoke". Not only is the Cocoa implementation a big job, the schedule has been blown more than once by forces beyond the control of RS (i.e. Apple).
- September 30, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Care to elaborate on how Apple has blown Real's Cocoa schedule?
Please don't point at the transition to Intel... Apple announced that six months before Real announced their Cocoa plans.
Surely Snow Leopard didn't throw a wrench in the plans announced back in 2006.
Has Apple been cranking out too many great iPods, thus distracting the dev team?

I just checked the calendar. Autumn began about a week and a half ago. Geoff's post said that REAL "should be ... shipping some time this fall". Now maybe I'm not understanding Geoff properly here, but "some time this fall" does not mean "before fall gets here"; it means "before the end of fall" which would be around December 21. Granted, that date could slip too, because not every big software project that "should" be finished by such-and-such a date is finished on that date, but that quote is pretty thin evidence that "REAL was just blowing smoke ... again."
- September 30, 2009 at 2:17 PM
Although the scheduled delivery of Cocoa support has slipped, which is disappointing, I very much appreciate Geoff choosing to share their intentions of providing it and keeping us informed as they make progress. It does in fact appear to be a huge project. Professional developers know that even with smaller projects it can be difficult to predict the effort involved, external influences, and elapsed time to delivery. So in this case it's no surprise that it will be delivered later than expected. Better late and done right than rushed to meet expectations.
Thank you Geoff for the transparency on your Cocoa effort! I hope you continue this trend of sharing with us your new feature intentions and progress while developing them.
- September 30, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Cocoa, I cant hear it anymore... as programmer I know how things might get more complex than expected... so I keep patience and thing, it will be done when its done....
Right now I am in struggle with your great report function. On the first view its great, on my 1st day with 2009r4 I've build a small reportviewer for my apps based on your sample scripts, information from your manual and community feedbacks BUT...
the more I am dealing with the report class, the more I see that this is still Beta and never should be released in a productional Realbasic. I just say: Footer, multiline-word-wrapped strings and the lack of objects to manipulate objects before and after rendering.
I better wait a little bit more and have a better and stable realbasic, than any kind of green beta bananaware a la microsoft
just my 5 (Euro)cents...

TextField alignment still does not work on Windows XP.

Apparently the issue is only with XP. It works with Windows Vista for example. However, we are looking into it to see what we can do for the next release.

The following two sentences, I believe, are grammatically okay, however I'm not sure on how they differ in nuance.
もう歩けないほど疲れた! (もうあるけないほどつかれた)
もう歩けないくらい疲れた! (もうあるけないくらいつかれた)
Additionally, why is it that:
死ぬほど恥ずかしい (しぬほどはずかしい)
is grammatically okay but
死ぬくらい恥ずかしい (しぬくらいはずかしい)
is not?
(However 死にたいくらい恥ずかしい is okay.)
From looking at this, it seems くらい cannot show volition. Is there a logical reason for this that I'm not seeing?

I love a good feel-good story, and this one sure qualifies. Roberta Kruse-Fordham, general manager at Sports Fitness & Fun, Florida, NY, contacted me the other day to let me know about how her team pulled together to save a life on Dec. 2.
On that morning, one of their members, 57-year-old Jack Swem, passed out and began shaking on the floor. A member noticed what happened and alerted Jason Sanchez, a personal trainer. Tara Marshall, membership director, was alerted at the front desk about the situation and called 911. Melissa Rimipici, customer service director, and personal trainers Wayne Scheiman and Barbara Matchett came to assist. Swem's shaking soon stopped, but so did his breathing, so the club's AED unit instructed Sanchez to administer a shock, which he did. He had to repeat the procedure before Swem's heart began beating again. The emergency workers arrived shortly thereafter, taking Swem to the hospital. He later had a pacemaker implanted.
Swem is doing well, Kruse-Fordham says, proud that part of the reason he is alive is because of the experienced, well-trained team at Sports Fitness & Fun. Swem was so grateful that he took the team out for dinner.
Kruse-Fordham said that the ironic thing about this was that just two weeks prior, she had been bugging Swem to provide her with his emergency contact information, which he had left blank on his form. The evening of the heart attack when Kruse-Fordham went to the hospital to see Swem, she said that she asked him if she could have his contact information now, which provided a chuckle for both, she said.
For her part, Kruse-Fordham wanted to emphasize to other club operators how important it is to be prepared, be current on certifications and get the emergency contact information for all members.

ANIMAL FACTS - Goats
There are over three hundred distinct breeds of goat.
Female goats are called does or nannies.
Have you ever noticed that goats have horizontal rectangle-shaped pupils? This unique adaptation increases their peripheral depth perception. How cool is that!
(Capra aegagrus hircus)
Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. A very intelligent and inquisitive animal; they love to explore new environments and are brilliant at escaping their old ones! Don't let their appearance fool you; goats are very coordinated and have remarkable balance and climbing skills. It is common for goats to climb over fences and up trees with ease.
With their prehensile upper-lip and tongue, goats love to investigate all kinds of potential food items. Although they have a reputation for eating just about anything; goats are quite particular eaters. Preferring a diet of browse, goats enjoy palm fronds, acacia leaves, macadamia leaves and pine – just to name a few.

An Introduction to Linux Command Line Part-1
There are two types of user interfaces Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and command line interface (CLI). In GUI you use mouse to give instructions, in command line you type commands to control your computer. Linux provides two ways of exploring command line, you can either start a terminal emulator or switch to virtual console.
Terminal Emulator
Terminal emulator is a program that provides access to command line when you are in GUI. It opens up a window in which you can type commands. To start a Terminal Emulator look in the application menu.
Virtual Consoles
To switch to virtual console press <Ctrl><Alt><F1> i.e. press and hold control key then press and hold Alt, now press F1 key. It will give you a log in prompt where you can type in your username and press enter. Now type your password to login. While typing the password you won't see it on screen. You can type commands after logging in. There are six virtual consoles by default. To switch to second one press <Ctrl><Alt><F2> and so on. To switch back to GUI press <Ctrl><Alt><F7> .
Noramal users and root user
When you open up a terminal or login into virtual console it will show you something like
[username@hostname~]$ eg. My laptop shows [sumit@sumit-laptop ~]$.
The $ sign means that you are normal user, you only have limited powers. A root user has many more powers than a normal user, as a root user you change all the critical system settings. There are some commands that only a root user can run. To become a root user press enter after typing
su – [if you are using Slackware, Fedora or Red Hat based distribution.]
sudo -i [ if you are using Debian, Ubuntu].
It will ask for your root password please enter it and also it is important to note that while you
are typing the password it will not be displayed on the screen for security reasons press enter after your are done typing the password. For Ubuntu this password is same as your user password, Fedora and others asks you to set root password during installation.
After you become a root the prompt will look something like [root@hostnamename~]#.
Now you are root user. Since a root user can make critical changes and even delete important system files so be careful with what you type as a root user. Only login as root user when necessary.
Basic Linux Commands
In Linux the general syntax of any command is
command name [options] [arguments]
Options usually start with "–"
Example : In command ls -l /home, -l is option and /home is argument.
The things that are written in [] brackets means that they are optional i.e. you may or may not use them its your choice but you may use them to modify the behavior of command according to your needs. If you don't use them some defaults options and/or arguments will be used.
1. pwd (print working directory)
To find out where you are in file system tree i.e. current directory type
[user@host~]$ pwd
So by looking at the output we can say in am currently in /home/sumit directory.
2. ls – list directory contents
Now you know that you are currently in /home/sumit. Now you can type ls to list all the files and directories in /home/sumit directory.
ls command also acceps arguments and options like most of linux commands. Using ls with option -l i.e. Typing ls -l will give you more detailed output. If you type ls /home, the command will display all the files in /home folder. Here /home is taken as argument.
3. cd – change directory
You can you use cd to change you current directory (pwd). While using cd you can either specify relative path or absolute path. Relative path depends on your current directory (output of pwd command) i.e. their result depend upon your current location in file system tree, absolute paths always start from / and their result does not depend on your current directory. Ex – Let us say your current directory is /home/sumit and /home/sumit contains a folder named Documents. I can type "cd Documents" to go to Documents directory (relative path) or I can type /home/sumit/Documents. The former only works when my current directory is /home/sumit. If you type cd .. it will take you to the parent directory i.e. if you are in /home/sumit/ typing cd.. will take you to /home, now typing cd .. once more will take you one step higher to / directory.
4. mkdir – make directories
You can use mkdir command to create new directories, here you can use absolute or relative paths just like cd command.
[user@hostname ~]$ mkdir dirname (create a directory named mkdir in current directory)
[user@hostname ~]$ mkdir /home/sumit/test2 (creates directory /home/sumit/test2 using absolute path).
5.Using Tab auto completion
Use can use auto completion to save time when typing commands or filenames. If you are typing mkdir command, just type mkd and press tab it will auto complete the command, if it doesn't press tab twice and it will list all the commands that has mkd as its first three characters. Simiraly you can type
ls /ho and press tab is will auto complete the command to ls /home.
6.Using History
All the commands you type and stored in history. You can move b/w history by using upper and downward arrow keys on your keyboard, and press enter to execute.
Although u can also type Command-"history" and you will see that the commands you types in the past with a number. Want to run the command directly without typing again type "!number" and the command on that number will get executed. Here's the screenshot
Well thats it for now… Wanna know More abt the CLI Basics… Wait For Part-2

Why we have tar
and wh?
The progressive features of the Federal individual income tax are
well publicized. These of course affect partnerships and fiduciaries as
well as individuals, since the income of all of these entities is eventually
taxed at individual rates. The corporation income tax is also more
progressive than is probably generally realized. The greater importance
of the $25,000 surtax exemption to the smaller corporations, and
other factors such as minimum accumulated earnings credits tend to
make the impact of the corporate income tax much more severe on
the corporations with larger earnings.
All of this emphasis on progressive rates means that tax problems
really arise when one entity has a large amount of ordinary income.
Lowering these progressive rates then becomes a matter of having
more taxable entities, having the income taxed to the most advantageous
entities, or using statutory advantages, such as tax exempt
income, capital gain rates, etc. Before discussing in detail methods of
paying tax at lower rates, however, we should consider the importance
of deferring the payment of tax.
Deferral of Tax
The first preference of any taxpayer would be to pay no tax at all.
The only legal way I know to accomplish this, however, is to have no

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Nichols Family Director of Athletics, Bob Scalise, and Harvard University are proud to announce the generous gift of Paul J. Finnegan '75 to establish the Paul J. Finnegan Family Head Coach for Harvard Skiing.
This is the 14th endowed head coach at Harvard and 15th endowed position in Harvard Athletics. It is also the third gift to endow a Harvard head coach position in the last three months. In February, Charles Egan'54 endowed the Ulen-Brooks Endowed Coach for Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving; in mid-April, Harvard announced the Friends of Harvard Lightweight Rowing Endowed Coach for Lightweight Crew.
"I would like to thank Paul for his generous gift to Harvard Athletics. His commitment to skiing is a wonderful example of the loyal and dedicated alumni who make it possible for Harvard to pursue excellence," said Scalise. "Harvard skiing enjoyed great success this season including its first ever NCAA alpine champion; Paul's gift will allow for many more great seasons and NCAA champions."
Finnegan, a former Nordic ski captain for Harvard, was a four-year letterwinner and two-time MVP for the Crimson. He has remained involved with Harvard, its athletics program and the Friends of Harvard Skiing since graduating. He is a member of the Harvard Board of Overseers, chair of the Visiting Committee on Athletics, former president of the Harvard Alumni Association and board member for Teach for America.
"The ski team was a very important part of my undergraduate experience," Finnegan said. "The spirit and camaraderie of that group are things I will never forget."
Chris City'94 and Tim Mitchell will both serve as the first Paul J. Finnegan Family Endowed Coach for Harvard Skiing. City, a Nordic skier for the Crimson completed his fourth season with the Crimson, while Mitchell finished his sixth season at the head of the Alpine program.
"I'm very grateful to Paul for his incredible commitment to Harvard Skiing," said City. "His very generous gift assures the team will continue to thrive for future generations of Harvard skiers. Above all, it recognizes the special role of the ski team and the importance of the lessons our student-athletes learn from being skiers and a part of this team. Like Paul, I'm an alumnus of this team, and I have similar fond memories of being a skier here. Indeed, I returned to Harvard to coach because I believe strongly in the role of athletics in a Harvard education. I am incredibly excited that skiing will always be a part of Harvard."
"Paul's generosity is the evidence of how passionately so many people feel about Harvard skiing," said Mitchell. "The sport of skiing has brought so many wonderful things into my life; I am excited by the long-term stability Paul has brought to the ski team, ensuring our student-athletes have the same formative experiences I was fortunate enough to have through collegiate athletics and ski racing."

A big-budget, live-action adaptation of a long-running animated TV skein, Takashi Miike's "Ninja Kids!!!" largely earns its exclamation points. Bursting with a joyous energy that propels its pint-size protagonists through a rapid-fire succession of slapstick gags, each more outrageous than the last, the manically inventive pic treats the supernatural education of children more irreverently than the "Harry Potter" series. Given the widespread currency of ninja movies, pic registers as less culturally insular than Miike's other manga/anime-based kiddie extravaganzas, such as "Yatterman" and "The Great Yokai War," granting it a stab at farther-reaching international exposure following its July 23 Japanese release.
As Miike's serious samurai opuses grow bleaker ("13 Assassins," "Hara-kiri: Death of a Samurai"), his madcap fantasy outings skew more whimsical and lighthearted. Here, focusing on the extremely likable, bespectacled Rantaro (child star Seishiro Kato), along with his classmates and teachers in the first grade of the Ninja Academy, the helmer gleefully pulverizes the sanctimonious seriousness of "Karate Kid"-type pedagogical exercises while anarchically celebrating team spirit. Rantaro and his friends send lethal projectiles whizzing in all directions, faculty members materialize in flashes of light, and comely young women morph into fat, flatulent old ones.
Popular on Variety
Whenever the pic depicts the mischievous anarchy of the classroom, the pace and humor never falter. But once the action locks into a complicated plot involving a ninja-descended hairdresser (Takeshi Kaga) whom Rantaro and friends defend against hired assassins, the going gets denser, as subplots thicken and characters multiply, culminating in an arduous race to ring the bell at a mountaintop Buddhist temple.
The animated TV show itself was derived from a popular manga and, from the very beginning, Miike takes full advantage of manga's exaggerated compression of time and space. Racing through the countryside to his first day of school, Rantaro watches gliding eagles circling a cliffside, dodges the swords and arrows of warring armies, traverses busy city streets and pauses to admire a butterfly-dotted landscape, all in a minute and a half.
The exaggerated abstraction of anime informs every aspect of the school. The classes are color-coded, Rantaro and his first-year classmates garbed in bright blue, while successive grades wear more muted tones of pink, green, gray and blue. Villains from rival ninja clans are instantly recognizable by their artificially caricatured features, sporting grotesque coiffures, protruding teeth or huge heads so heavy that their owners tip over at key moments. Even relatively realistic gags take on surreal, cartoony aspects, such as when patently fake red protuberances sprout on the noggins of beat-up characters. Amazing feats of ninja derring-do are followed by very down-to-earth pratfalls.
Miike enjoys suddenly shifting gears, playing with varying degrees of self-conscious artifice. The hairdresser sings his story to the accompaniment of finger cymbals amid a shower of falling petals. In the middle of an action scene, a one-eyed "friendly ninja trivia commentator" bursts through the suddenly paper-thin background to offer explanations of various technical terms.
But it is the kids who own the movie, their dynamism exploding the frame as they pile into rooms or cause foes to fall through ridiculous booby-traps. Expertly directed and choreographed, they never come off as falsely precocious or cloyingly cute, as the three main boys (Kato, Ro Hayashi and Fuuta Kimura) manage to inject real personality into their clearly delineated comic roles. Vet thesp Susumu Terajima as the gruff headmaster and Takahiro Miura as his sympathetic younger colleague provide perfect foils for the artless ebullience of their charges.
Expensively cheesy f/x, including blatant compositing of fanciful background elements, weave their own peculiar spell, while Nobuyasu Kita's less gimmick-dependent lensing grounds the film in burgeoning nature.

Dear Doll House Lovers,
You know me. I cannot throw anything away without wondering: what could this be used for?
So it was that I found myself holding an empty, clear-plastic clamshell case from which we had taken and used dust masks when we painted the kitchen. The clamshell enticed me to pull out the scissors and glue gun.
Enter Papa's easy chair.
I wish I had taken pictures of the process, but it was so spontaneous, I forgot! Anyway, this is so simple, I think you can easily imagine the process as you see the pictures.
The first step was to separate the clamshell into two pieces. I only needed one side from it to make my chair. I trimmed any edges that felt sharp or that stuck out beyond the simple round, concave piece that I needed.
I cut a rounded piece of quilted fabric from some scraps I had and did a large loop stitch around the outside edge of the fabric, just to help it lay flat and not look so untidy.
The piece of fabric was hot glued into the plastic shell.
Turning the chair over, there was a trough all the way around into which I hot-glued beads. This gave a pretty trimming to the chair and also gave it sturdiness.
What to do for legs? Well, I keep a box of wooden "do-dads" including clothespins, and we have pulled from that many times to make our doll house furniture. This was easy peasy! Just attach the clothespins. And they can be adjusted to let Papa recline or sit up taller!
I hope you enjoyed this most recent creation. Now that I have a granddaughter here frequently, I am expecting the doll house to get lots of use. And my daughter, Michaela, the little princess for whom it was all started, she is now 14 and able to pass along her making and playing skills to her little niece.
Don't forget to play! And remember to keep things age appropriate and supervised. Hot glue guns need supervision, and so do small pieces like beads, etc.

Boys Soccer: Hamilton wins on Keever's OT goal
HAMILTON -- The up and down regular season ended on a very big up.
Playing its fourth match in a week, Hamilton's boys soccer team beat Holland Patent 1-0 in overtime on Saturday night. Coach Brian Latella's defending state champion Emerald Knights clinched third place in their Optimist Tournament with the victory, as well as the top seed in the upcoming Class D-1 playoffs.
"I figured we'd be fatigued," Latella said. "But it was a great way to head into sectionals."
Ben Knecht set up the winning goal and Robbie Keever headed it in with less than four minutes in the OT period. It was Keever's second straight game-winner and third of the season.
"It was a great goal, a great play," Latella said.
John Kerber had five saves for the shutout.
HP (7-8-1): Saves - Andy Heier 6.
Hamilton (12-2-2): Robbie Keever 1-0, Ben Knecht 0-1. Saves - John Kerber 5.

* Research house IDC still ranks HP in the lead
* Lenovo shares rise nearly 2 pct in Hong Kong trade
* HP stock touches lowest level since October
(Adds Lenovo share price, company comment)
By Poornima Gupta and Lee Chyen Yee
SAN FRANCISCO/HONG KONG, Oct 11 (Reuters) - China's Lenovo Group Ltd edged out Silicon Valley icon Hewlett-Packard Co to become the world's No. 1 PC maker in the third quarter, according to data released by research house Gartner on Wednesday.
A rival to Gartner, IDC, still ranks HP in the lead - but by less than half a percentage point - in terms of PC shipments worldwide. Both studies reinforce HP's struggles against rivals as new chief executive Meg Whitman tries to overhaul the stalled 73-year-old company.
Worldwide shipments of personal computers fell over 8 percent last quarter, according to both research firms, which blamed myriad factors including retailers and vendors ridding themselves of older inventory ahead of the launch of Microsoft's
Windows 8 operating system, the growing popularity of mobile gadgets like tablets, and a slowing economy.
PC demand growth has crumbled over the past year as more consumers flock to ultra-portable and increasingly powerful tablets and smartphones for basic computing.
Both sets of data show that Lenovo, Taiwan's Acer and other Asian PC makers are taking share away from U.S. competitors HP and Dell , which held on to the No. 3 spot in the quarter.
Lenovo, which has a market value of $8.2 billion, said it believed there was room for continued growth in the sector.
"We are establishing even deeper roots in each major market around the world. In addition to localised sales and distribution teams in major markets, we are establishing an even stronger manufacturing footprint," Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang said in a statement.
This year the company has bought Brazilian electronics maker CCE, valued at a base price of 300 million reais ($148 million), and U.S. cloud computing firm Stoneware.
Lenovo's rise highlights the advance of China's technology firms on the world stage in recent years as a result of aggressive pricing, overseas acquisitions, and taking advantage of a fast-growing home market.
The Chinese company, which vaulted into the PC market by buying IBM's personal computer division in 2005, took the top spot for the first time by growing its market share to 15.7 percent, shipping an estimated 13.77 million units during the quarter, up nearly 10 percent from a year ago, Gartner said.
HP's global PC share stood at 15.5 percent after shipping 13.55 million units, down 16.4 percent from a year ago, Gartner said, adding that this was the first time HP has not been the top-ranked PC vendor position since 2006.
IDC had HP at the No. 1 spot with a 15.9 percent market share, marginally ahead of Lenovo's 15.7 percent share.
HP responded to Gartner's study by saying IDC's was more expansive.
"While there are a variety of PC share reports in the market, some don't measure the market in its entirety," HP said in a statement. "The IDC analysis includes the very important workstation segment, and therefore is more comprehensive."
HP shares closed 1.32 percent lower at $14.18 on Wednesday, after touching $14.02, its lowest level since October 2002.
Lenovo's shares rose nearly 2 percent on Thursday, outpacing a 0.4 rise in the benchmark Hong Kong index .
Since the start of 2012, Lenovo's shares have risen more than 9 percent, in contrast to a roughly 40 percent drop in HP's stock, a 35 percent fall in Dell and Acer's 21 percent slide.
Analysts say PC makers are suffering from still-sluggish growth in consumer and corporate spending across the globe, even in once-reliably hot markets like China, Lenovo's home turf. The industry's future is uncertain, partly because of a proliferation of computing devices from tablets of all sizes to smartphones.
"PCs are going through a severe slump," said Jay Chou, senior research analyst at IDC's Worldwide PC Tracker.
"A weak global economy as well as questions about PC market saturation and delayed replacement cycles are certainly a factor, but the hard question of what is the 'it' product for PCs remain unanswered."

Item Description
Letter, James Montgomery to F. B. Sanborn
Author: Montgomery, James , 1814-1871
Date: January 14, 1861
Just two weeks before Kansas would be admitted to the Union and in the midst of the early secession crisis, Montgomery (Mound City) told Franklin B. Sanborn (Boston) that he (Montgomery) did not favor an invasion of "the slave states so long as they keep themselves at home," but Missouri was crossing the line and interfering in Kansas affairs. He also commented on recent mob violence in Boston and General Harney's futile efforts to enforce the Fugitive Slave law in southern Kansas.

Looking for an intermediate player to play tennis with and improve my fitness in the Canton or Plymouth area. Evenings after 6 pm.
Views: 317
Replies to This Discussion
Sounds good Gerald, I live in Plymouth, and am traveling home-will be back in the area this Friday. Let me know. My USTA rating is 4.0.
great!! I'm probably a 3 considering I haven't played regularly in the last few years.
I'm in Chicago on the weekend and playing soccer on Monday evening, so probably we can look at Wed 29th evening. Work for you?
I'm off Warren and Lilley in Canton. I've played couple of years ago on the tennis courts near Central Middle School (Church St?) and they have six courts, one of which was always empty.
anytime between 6 and 8:30 works for me. just joined tennisopolis and don't have a pic here yet, will do so before the weekend ... but I'm on Facebook.
My cell number is 734-644-1142
not sure how to put in my profile yet, so just posted a pic from 2010 so you have an idea what I look like. I could probably make it by 5:30 on Wed and then we can go from there (my skill level good enough for you, etc.).
Soccer is only this Mon. I would prefer tennis over soccer anyway (tends to rough up my left ankle). We can decide on the days after we play on Wed. Tue and Thu are difficult for me to commit to.
I'll definitely be there latest by 5:45 on Wed. see you then
can we play on Thursdays? I have to keep Wed open since that is the only day my wife's OBGYN works past 4:30 pm. Also I signed for soccer on Sat and Tue.
hey, been a while. I would still like to see if we can play again. Sun morning?
A guy named Mike from Tennis-round contacted me last week and we played on Thu at 7:30 and are also playing tomorrow at 7 pm and planned the same for next week.
Mike was talking about playing doubles in Griffin Park or Salem High School (24 courts) and knows another guy. If you are interested I can ask for more details and let you know.
No problem. Then let's touch base again after 4th July weekend.

- "Jiggery pokery! Hocus pocus...squiggly wiggly..."
- —Harry Potter frightens Dudley Dursley in 1992[src]
Hocus Pocus was one of three spells that Harry Potter uttered the incantations of to scare off his Muggle cousin Dudley Dursley in 1992. He claimed that they could set a hedge on fire.
Hocus pocus is also a term that is sometimes used pejoratively by muggles to refer to magic, trying to cast wizards as mere magicians. In 1997, when worried that Harry Potter was planning to "get the house," Vernon Dursley stated "You want us out of the way and then you're going to do a bit of hocus pocus and before we know it the deeds will be in your name and –"
The phrase was featured in the title of the book Jiggery Pokery and Hocus Pocus, written by Brian Gagwilde, and was also used for the title of a regular column in the Daily Prophet.
The term is occasionally employed even by wizards, though still as a put-down of sorts. When speaking with Quirinus Quirrell regarding his protection of the Philosopher's Stone, Severus Snape commented "--your little bit of hocus-pocus. I'm waiting."[1]
Hocus pocus, like abracadabra, is a magic word commonly used by magicians, typically when they perform an illusion.[2] In British English, hocus pocus is also a general term meaning "contrived nonsense," similar to rubbish, hogwash, or baloney.[2] The origins of the term are unknown, but John Tillotson, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1691 to 1694, theorised that it might have arisen as a mockery of the Roman Catholic liturgy of the Mass, which features the Latin phrase Hoc est corpus meum ("This is my body").[2][3]

Behind the scenes
- While Harry seemed to be merely making up nonsense spells, the appearance of the spell in the title Jiggery Pokery and Hocus Pocus, described as containing "mischief-making spells," suggests that it could in fact be a real spell.[4]

Majority of Americans say new Congress should take immediate action to expand medical research
New poll summary reveals concerns among Americans about medical progress in tight fiscal climate
Alexandria, Va.–January 9, 2013– America Speaks, Volume 13, a compilation of public opinion polls commissioned by Research!America, features timely data about Americans' views on issues related to biomedical and health research. A majority of Americans (72%) say the new Congress and the President should take action to expand medical research within the first 100 days of the 113th Congress. Public support for increased government spending on medical research holds particular relevance as Congress considers whether to further delay, eliminate or permit "sequestration," a budget cutting process that - if it moves forward - would mean drastic cuts in funding for medical research.
"Americans will be looking closely at the actions of the new Congress to see whether lawmakers support policies that will accelerate research and scientific discovery," said Research!America Chair John Edward Porter. "We're on the brink of finding new treatments and cures for many deadly and debilitating illnesses. Congress must act to ensure that funding for research is sufficient to address current and emerging health threats."
Most Americans believe accelerated investments in medical research should be a priority, yet nearly 60% say elected officials in Washington are not paying close attention to combating the many deadly diseases that afflict Americans. An overwhelming majority of Americans (83%) also believe that investing in medical innovation has a role in creating jobs and fueling the economy.
When asked about stagnant federal funding levels for research and the impact to science and technology, a wide majority (85%) said they were concerned.
Americans also expressed concerns about U.S. global competitiveness in the near future. Less than half (41%) believe the U.S. will be the world leader in science and technology in the year 2020. In addition, almost half (48%) do not believe the U.S. has the best health care system in the world.
"Consistently, our polls have shown that Americans value research and believe it's part of the solution to what ails us," said Research!America President and CEO Mary Woolley. "The return on investment is demonstrated in medical breakthroughs that have made diseases that were considered a death sentence into treatable conditions."
Twenty years ago, AIDS ranked as the number-one health concern among Americans. Since then, research has saved countless lives and continues to drive progress. The number one health concern in 2012 was the cost of health care.
Among notable highlights in the booklet:
78% of Americans believe that it is important that the U.S. work to improve health globally through research and innovation.
70% of Americans believe that the government should encourage science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) careers.
Nearly half (48%) believe government investment in health research for military veterans and service members is not enough.
66% of Americans are willing to share personal health information to advance medical research if appropriate privacy protections were used.
75% say it's important to conduct research to eliminate health disparities.
Only 1 in 5 (19%) know research is conducted in every state.

Jazz Musician Kenny G Surprises Delta Passengers With Impromptu Concert in Florida
Jermell Prigeon
It may not have been on the in-flight entertainment program, but the soothing sounds of Kenny G filled the cabin of a Delta flight Saturday morning.
Passengers on board the Los Angeles-bound flight from Tampa were treated to an impromptu live performance by the famed saxophonist.
Kenny G was seated next to an off-duty flight attendant who lost a daughter to brain cancer, according to a passenger. The famed musician agreed to perform a spontaneous concert if passengers helped raise $1,000 for a cancer charity.
Entertainment News
They ended up raising $2,000 for "Relay for Life" and the Grammy-winning artist fulfilled his promise, walking up and down the aisle as surprised passengers enjoyed the mile-high jazz serenade.
Kenny G was in Tampa for a performance Friday night at Coachman Park in Clearwater.

Senior Bowl counts as football; more Designated Reads
South teammates having a Senior Bowl moment. (AP)
• Actual football content! Sort of! E.J. Manuel earned MVP honors at Saturday's Senior Bowl, scoring the South's first two touchdowns -- a two-yard run and a 20-yard pass to Alabama's Michael Williams -- to give his team a 14-0 first-quarter lead. BYU's Ziggy Ansah shone on defense with seven tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Stepfan Taylor led all rushers with nine carries for 53 yards; Kenjon Barner was the game's top receiver with seven catches for 59 yards.
Also, this happened. Of course it did.
• And what do recruiters make of the new recruiting regulations? "It's insane. It's bad on both ends," said a recruiting coordinator at a major-conference school. "If it's not regulated where coaches have periods here and there that are designated as breaks, you don't get any time with your family." That and more from Stewart Mandel.
• Coach-hirin' season! Nerds, prepare for carousel intrigue: Hal Mumme has resigned from D-III McMurry University ... Dave Clawson's contract at Bowling Green has been extended through 2018 ... Ole Miss completes Houston Nutt's buyout with a splash ... Steve Shankweiler, who was not retained as offensive line coach upon Willie Taggart's arrival at South Florida, will serve on Ron Turner's staff at FIU in the same capacity, in addition to coordinating the run game.
• Roster blotter. Send healing vibes to Virginia Tech corner Antone Exum, who tore his right ACL and whose absence could stretch into the 2013 season ... Rex Ryan's son, Seth, will walk on at Clemson ... Syracuse running back Prince-Tyson Gulley, defensive tackle Eric Crume and linebacker Dyshawn Davis are all out for spring ball following assorted surgeries ... Oregon has dismissed defensive back James Scales for the Ever-Popular-And-Mysterious Violation Of Team Rules ... and for news on the possibility of Oklahoma quarterback Drew Allen transferring, let's turn to Drew Allen himself:
• Realignment tidbits, grudgingly dispensed. Both the Big Ten and Big East are still talking expansion, with varying degrees of seriousness, so let's get ready for another stupid offseason of this claptrap.
• Not strictly football, but necessary. Shake off your Monday afternoon lunch coma with this jampacked .gif of Marshall Henderson versus Auburn, this one of Providence and Marquette basketball players being attacked by live bats, this recap of NIU's spin on perhaps the worst college hoops game of all-time and this .gif of a runaway snowmobile at the X Games.

2015-11-24Abbreviated final project report
03/11/2015 In its letter of 03/11/2015 the European Commission confirmed that the quality of the final report is good. Event hoe to finalize the report some aspects need to be clarified, the Commission had suggested to publish final technical report on project's web site in order to reinforce the dissemination of technical information about the project.
Telemetry, one of the most progressive birds' research methods, started to be used already two decades ago, and during this time it has provided invaluable knowledge about hundreds of species of birds. This research method is also put into use in Lithuania, and since this summer it was applied to the study of white storks, which was initiated by Mindaugas Dagys (Nature Research Center Laboratory of Avian Ecology) and Ramunas Žydelis (DHI, Denmark).
For centuries change of seasons is associated with white stork in Lithuania. Even now there is still vivid belief that white stork returning after winter is a symbol of the coming spring, because he brings back wagtail, who sometimes is even called "ice kicker", who kicks out all ice with its funny tiny legs.
Although White Stork is a long distance migrant spending winters even down to South Africa, sometimes there are exceptions from this rule. In the last years these birds more and more often stay in Lithuania in the cold season.
LESTO completed the project "White stork (ciconia ciconia) protection in Lithuania" which started in 2009 and was implemented together with the Lithuanian ornithologists society, Institute of Ecology of Natural Research Center, and partners – this year, 1520 new nest platforms will welcome storks returning to Lithuania. The nests have been put up on the supports of overhead electricity lines by electricity distribution company AB LESTO. To have the birds make nests in their natural habitats, which do not endanger them, LESTO will continue putting up nests during planned repair works or when there is real danger for termination of electricity supply.
2013-02-25Let's wish a safe journey
Although fields are still covered with snow and winter is not a hurry to retrieve, arrival of White Storks to their nests after a long journey is not far away. Now is the time to prepare for their return and to take care of their nests – to remove the top layer of nest material in very tall nests, to cut back overgrowing branches around nests in trees, to support nests damaged during winter storms, to reinforce nest platforms, so that returning birds have a safe place to breed and bring joy to their human neighbours.
A country-wide festival "Naisių vasara 2012" on the 14-15th of July had attracked a lot of the families from whole territory of Lithuania. Like in previous year the Lithuanian Ornithological Society participated in the festival with a special programm. The Society introduced its activities with a main focus on the largest project "White Stock conservation in Lithuania". It is interestingly that the simbol of the festival is flying White stork too.
On the 28th June two chicks were ringed with metal and colour rings in the "Project nest". Now everyone by the help of webcam can observe life history of each juvenile individually.
The 'project' White stork pair has hatched two chicks on the 8th June. Very likely that the first chick was hatched on the7th June, however, grandmotherly parents were sitting, as we thought, on the eggs almost all time and was imposible to detect freshly hatched fledgeling. This is extremely good news having in mind a tragedy, which happened on the 21 st April when 'intruder' White stork tried to grab already occupied nest with at least two eggs.
The "project" White stork pair has lie the second egg on the 20th April. The first egg appeared on the 18th April, i.e. five days later than in 2011. This delay is related with later arrival of the White storks: in 2011 the birds first time visited their nest on 29th March, while this year – on 6th April. The life history of the 'project pair' you can continually observe on the project website.

A pair of the White storks came back to the "project" nets in Riese settlement already. Life video is available on the internet.
Have a look on the life history of three White stork breeding pairs in Lithuania! Watching of White storks life history on three breeding pairs in Lithuania is already available on the internet. The first webcam was arranged by LOD already in 2010 in the surroundings of Vilnius city in the frame of the White stork conservation project (financed by the LIFE+ Programme) and everyone can observe the storks family history every year of the internet.
The webcam broadcast from the White stork nest has started already! This is the same nest (located in the environ of Vilnius city) where Life video was available for the public in 2010 and 2011.
The Lithuanian Ornithological Society with project partners on the 21st March, 2012 submitted the project Mid-term Report to the European Commission. The text of the Report with the most important annexes will be placed on websites after the final approval of the document.
As we already mentioned, the first first skylarks were observed exactly at the day of the National Lark Festival Day (February 24). While the Lapwing – a some days earlier (National Lapwing Day – February 27), The rooks on the National Rook Day (March 4) were seen already on the nests in some areas of the country.
2012.03.25The Wite Stork day
Stork Day is celebrated on 25 March. This holiday's main figure, the stork, was central to many Lithuanian agrarian beliefs. The white stork is usually felt to be the national bird of Lithuania.
After a long and cold winter we are waiting for spring, looking at the sky and hoping to see the first spring prophets more and more often. The first returned larks were observed noting the day of the lark (February 24). A little later but still waiting for the lapwing day (February 27) we could see lapwings and on the day of the rooks (March 4) – rooks, tidying up their nests. Perhaps the most welcome birds that symbolize the beginning of the warm half-year – white storks – were first seen on the 12th of March in the meadows of Panevezys and Silute.
On the 18th of May, the second White Stork chick has hatched in the nest in Riešė, which may be observed live on the Internet.
On the 16th of May, the first White Stork chick has hatched in the nest in Riešė, which may be observed live on the Internet.
Spring is slowly comming to our country, but the present temperatures is sufficient to birds and they are already here, as always, going back almost on time. While the official white stork day is annualy 25th of March, Vilnius residents and guests were invited to welcome our white storks on 9th April. LOD, as Birdlife partner in Lithuania, having the aim to get people be more familiar with the life of storks, their migration routes and their protection, refered to the related customs, folklore, and arranged traditional white stork welcome festival in Sereikiskes park (in center of Vilnius).
On the 13th of April, White Storks have laid the first egg in the nest in Riešė, which may be observed live on the Internet.
On the 3d of April, the second White Stork has returned to the nest in Riešė, which may be observed live on the Internet.
On the 29th of March, the first White Stork has returned to the nest in Riešė, which may be observed live on the Internet.
It has been project Progress report presented for European Commission on 18th March, 2011. All documents are accessible in this website in Documents chapter.
2011.03.18LIVE video from the White Stork nest!
Here you can observe LIVE streaming video of the White Stork nest during the entire breeding period!
Each spring the Lithuanian Ornithological Society invites you all to meet the returning birds! It is very important to know when white storks are comming back to our country.
Please use our tools included in the website http://www.springalive.net/lt-lt/ for reporting the first sighting of the white stork. The site also provides information about white stork migration across all Europe.
2010.11.19Meeting of project partners
On 19th November 2010 project steering committy meeting was held. Urgent enough issues related to White stork nests loaded on the air electric transmission lines have been discussed during the meeting (their future maintenance, responsibility, and so on).
Second season of lifting nesting platforms on roofs is ongoing! It is panned to install in total over 300 platforms till the end of November 2010.
2010.05.12The year 2010 Lithuanian Ornithological Society announced the year of white stork (Ciconia ciconia)
Each year Lithuanian Ornithological Society (LOD) announces a campaign called Bird of the year. Its main goal is to draw attention of professionals and public on the species that require exceptional human attention and care. In most cases bird of the year becomes a rare, little explored or highly endangered birds' species.
More than 300 residents of Vilnius were ringed and took pictures in the largest nest of White Stork in the country, which was built in the V. Kudirka Square. About 1,000 people visited the festival dedicated to celebrate the Year of White Stork. The festival resembled the family holiday - the nest and the V. Kudirka memorial were full of climbing children. Organizers of the festival - Lithuanian Ornithological Society, Eastern distribution networks and "VST" - presented the record size nest to the Lithuanian Centre of Young Naturalists.
At Sunday, April 25, at Vilnius V. Kudirka Square will be built huge white stork nest. Everyone can go in it and feel like a little stork, look around the surrounding area from 20 square meters nest. Huge white stork nest will be build for citizens of Vilnius for enjoy of returned a month ago to Lithuania storks. Inside the nest will sounds really Stork sounds and around it will buzzing the Stork Festival.
As part of the White Stork conservation project, Lithuanian Ornithological Society installed a webcam to allow direct monitoring of the entire White Stork breeding cycle. Internet broadcast will be available on this page shortly.
From 2010-02-15 we started an instalement of artificial nest platforms on roofs. We hape to manage as many as possible stork nests till the storks are coming back to Lithuania. Instalement works shall continue from September 2010.
2010.02.03TV broadcast
2009.11.02ATTENTION! The possibility White stork nests located on the roofs of buildings to replace with specially designed wooden nesting platform!
All those who wish White stork nests located on the roofs of buildings, replace with specially designed wooden nesting platform, please contact to Lithuanian Ornithological Society by e-mail email@example.com or by phone: (8 5) 213 0498.
In centuries White Storks are related with seasons – faith, that returning of White storks in our country are the symbol of spring, is alive till now. White Stork brings on its tail wagtail (called ice-kicker in a folk) and this little bird kick out all ice with its fun legs. In the end of summer concentration of White Storks is the sign that autumn is coming. Since the ancient times people tell that White Storks leave our country in St. Bartholomew's Day, 24 August.

Mahatma Gandhi, 'The Father of India' visited the island of Ceylon in 1927. He travelled the length and breadth of the
island. His visit caused great excitement. The people of Ceylon were calling for greater independence from the British who
had ruled the country since 1815 having taken over the island from the Dutch.
Gandhi was invited to visit the west coast town of Chilaw by the great Ceylonese freedom fighter C.E.Corea. Chilaw they
say is well known for the 'Three C's' - 'Crabs, Coconuts and Coreas.' The Corea Family have made a significant contribution
to the country and to Chilaw. They spoke out fearlessly for independence for their motherland and strived for total
freedom for the people of Ceylon.Victor Corea - CE's brother was jailed by the British. The famous ancestor of the Corea
Clan is Edirille Bandara or Dominicus Corea who was crowned King of Kotte. CE Corea's home in Chilaw was named 'Edirille Gedera.'
Mahatma Gandhi's visit to Chilaw
Gandhi travelled from India to Ceylon arriving in Colombo, the capital city on November 12, 1927. He accompanied
by his wife Kasturba, C. Rajagopalachari, and the latter's daughter, Lakshmi. Also accompanying Mahatma Gandhi on his
visit to Ceylon were his secretaries, Mahadev Desai and Pyarelal. Gandhi stayed in Ceylon for three weeks.
Gandhi was invited to Chilaw by his friends the fearless freedom fighters - CE Corea and Victor Corea. Gandhi had
been in contact with the Corea Family before his visit to the island. He toured Chilaw, spoke to the people of Chilaw
and stayed for a few days in a Corea home called 'Sigiriya' in the heart of the town. This was a historic visit.
Remembering the work of Mahatma Gandhi - 75 years of the Salt March - events will take place around the world....
