January 23, 2007: Coral Springs CRA acquires a new parcel for Downtown development
The Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Agency acquired one more parcel for the Coral Springs Downtown project on Friday, January 5. The CRA closed on the purchase of a 2.8-acre property nestled between City Hall South and the University Financial Plaza. This property has long been considered as a pivotal parcel for the Coral Springs Downtown project. The CRA and University Financial Plaza Associates, Ltd. negotiated the value and reached an agreement at the final disposition value of $3 million. The property was purchased with a $2.5 million loan from the City of Coral Springs and $500,000 of CRA funds. The CRA board has worked diligently on this project for the past couple of years, and is excited to have closed on such an important deal. "This purchase is a major step in fulfilling the wishes of the citizens of Coral Springs, and now we can move onto other quadrants of the Downtown project," said John Ruffin, Jr., CRA Chairman. Commissioner Claudette Bruck is also extremely pleased that the CRA finalized this purchase. "Every parcel within the intended downtown development is significant, and this parcel is vital because of its size and location," said Commissioner Bruck. The acquisition of this property enables the CRA and Amera, the Downtown Coral Springs Master Developer, to move a step closer to the design and development stages of the southwest quadrant.

Tell friend how you feel, ask to see her without him
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm having a dilemma with one of my friends. She's been dating this guy for almost a year. At first they lived in the same city, but in the last six months they've been doing the long distance thing (across provinces) and usually visit each other once a month. When she comes to town, I like to spend some quality time with her -- my friend since childhood. However, since they've been together, she's been bringing her boyfriend around, every time we hang out. I understand their need to spend as much time together as possible, so in one regard I respect her decision to bring him around. But, he's going through some emotional difficulties, and to others he can be rude, awkward, lethargic and a big killjoy. All I'd like is to spend one evening or two with just her as girlfriends, however, because of his emotional neediness, she is never available for one-on-one time. Am I being selfish by wanting my friend back, even just for a couple of hours, or should I accept the fact that her boyfriend is now a staple at girls night? -- Third Wheel, Transcona
Dear Third Wheel: What you don't see is it's not him causing the problem. Nine out of 10 women would say, "I'm going out for a few hours with my female buddies and I'll catch you later." If he whined, she'd say, "You're going to have to get over this clingy-ness, or you'll have to get over me. I love my friends too." The truth? She is kowtowing to this needy behaviour, partly because she wants to be with him every minute of the visit! Tell her how you feel and ask clearly for a lunch without him. If she doesn't want to do that, retire her to the back bench for now and invest more in other pals.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm a Christian going out with an atheist, so after we make love on Saturday night, I send him home in the cold, saying I have to work in the morning and then I sneak off to church alone instead. He preaches "religion is a crutch" and all that rot. Last night we got talking seriously about getting married and he said, "Of course, I wouldn't want to go into a church for something like a wedding when I never go any other time. My heart sank. I had always pictured a lovely formal wedding in my home church with my family and friends. I see me coming down the aisle and my groom waiting at the altar. I started to cry! He asked me why and I wouldn't say. What now? -- Secret Christian, Winnipeg
Dear Secret: It's time to really talk this out. Tell him you go to church secretly and you know he has no belief. Tell him you would want to be married in a church. Let him know if you want your kids christened and/or baptized. Then quietly hear him out. While you're at it, ask him how many kids he'd like to have, if any, and when he'd want them. You'd be amazed how many couples don't ever discuss this until they're already married. Talk about the finances, too. This is the time, not after. Do either of you have debt and how much? How do you feel about seeing each other's parents, brothers and sisters? Where would you both like to live -- city or country? It's good the whole religion thing is going to come up so you can get everything else out on the table. You're talking about a lifetime of serious commitment now.

Book synopsis
Translations of Cervantes' Don Quijote (1605) take pride of place among foreign literature in China. Despite the contrasts between the two cultures and the passage of four centuries the adventures and misadventures of the Castilian hero have always been popular with Chinese readers.
In this book a corpus-based stylistic study is used to explore two contemporary Mandarin Chinese translations of Don Quijote: those by Yang Jiang (1978) and Liu Jingsheng (1995). Utilising a micro-structural perspective this study suggests explanations for the surprising popularity of Don Quijote in China.
Contents: Construction of a Parallel Corpus of Don Quijote – Corpus Data Retrieval and Annotation – Phraseological Patterns in Yang's Translation – Phraseological Patterns in Liu's Translation – Use of Figurative/Archaic Idioms in the Two Translations – Quantitative Exploration of Style Variation in Liu's Translation.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
The Author: Meng Ji has a Ph.D. from Imperial College London (2009) within the area of corpus-based translation studies focused on the study of phraseology in literary translations into Chinese. She is presently developing an interdisciplinary approach to corpus-based translation studies by integrating methodologies from disciplines including textual statistics, quantitative sociolinguistics and computational stylometry.

Video blog post: A personal, last-minute plea
http://lakeneuron.com/my-faith/adults-in-ministry-series/ or http://www.mountain-top.org for more information.
my happy place
Here's a little thought experiment to try to warm myself up. Feel free to come along as I try to escape the polar vortex.
The temperature is not in single digits, because it's not January. It's July, and I'm at Camp Cumberland Pines, volunteering with Summer Plus. We've just ended a good, satisfying day of working with the teenagers. My creative writing workshop is going well in the afternoons, and I'm having fun helping out in another workshop — let's say, cooking — in the mornings.
I'm a co-pilot on one of the transportation routes, but not today — one of my fellow volunteers who hasn't been involved in transportation wanted to get out into the county and see where the teens come from, so she offered to swap with me this afternoon. I watch the last of the vehicles pull out of the front entrance to Cumberland Pines. I slip on my backpack and begin walking across the big field from the Wingo Pavilion to the dining hall, beyond which lies Friends Cabin.
The warm sun feels wonderful. I'm wearing shorts and a tie-dyed t-shirt, and I throw on my Mountain T.O.P. ball cap to shade my face. The home repair volunteers have to wear long pants at the work site – it's an insurance thing – but I can, and do, wear shorts almost all week. I usually arrive in camp wearing long pants, and sometimes I'll put on long pants on Friday for our Summer Plus celebration, which the teens' parents come for. But the rest of the time, I'm in shorts. I'm a volunteer, and Summer Plus is a good day's work, but it's also a form of vacation.
I walk past Guido. Guido is a tree located near the dining hall, with benches arranged around it in a circle. I have no idea why it's called Guido. At this point, nobody else may know either.
One or two other volunteers who didn't have to do transportation are in the lobby of Friends Cabin. We exchange pleasantries about how the day went. I stop by my room in Friends Cabin, take off my shoes and socks and put on flip-flops. I sit out on the deck for a few moments. I look over at Three Crosses, an outdoor worship area nearby, and down at the AIM pavilion. I decide to go in and take a shower. Most of the other Summer Plus volunteers are women, and most are on their transportation routes, so I have the men's shower room all to myself. Later, about 5 or so, the home repair teams will start rolling into camp, and all three shower stalls will be busy at once, with people waiting their turn. But for now, it's just me, and a hot shower feels good.
After showering and putting on clean clothes, I wander over to the dining hall — to use the wi-fi and to set one of the tables (I'm co-hosting a table for dinner tonight). As I finish putting out napkins and silverware, I hear a couple of cars driving back into camp. It's too early for the home repair folks to be back, so I know it's probably my fellow Summer Plus volunteers, probably some who were dropping off teens relatively near the camp. I wander back over to Friends Cabin.
I pick up the deck of cards on the table in the lobby. "Are you going to play 'Screw The Dealer' tonight?" I ask someone.
"Oh, yes. I can't do any worse than I did last night."
I walk over to the fridge, put 75 cents in the cash box, and pull out a Diet Coke. Then I think about it for a second, put the Diet Coke back, put 50 more cents in the cash box, and get an IBC black cherry instead. I've earned it.
I look at my "mailbox," a black cylinder marked with my name sitting on the mailbox table. Some people have hand-made mailboxes they've been bringing to camp for years; others didn't bring a mailbox and have brown paper lunch sacks with their name scrawled on them in magic marker. There's a note of thanks and encouragement in my mailbox from one of my fellow volunteers. I realize I've been delinquent in my own note-writing and I sit down at the table, where there are little squares of paper and pens strewn about.
After writing a few notes and depositing them in the appropriate mailboxes, I wander back out to the deck. Dinner will come up at 6 p.m., and then sharing. Sharing is a chance to talk about the day, and if I get the chance I'll have a moving story about something one of my creative writing kids said during my workshop. Worship will follow a few minutes after sharing breaks up. It will be brief and creative. By 8:45 or so, we'll all be free for the evening, and that card game is likely to crank up.
Right now, though, I'm just sitting on the Friends Cabin deck, enjoying the warm weather and waiting for my friends to get back from their transportation routes and home repair sites.
God is good.

Here's the official Mountain T.O.P. AIM page.
Here are links to a series of posts I wrote about AIM a couple of years ago.
Here's a slideshow from the AIM week I attended in 2012. The 2013 slideshow isn't up yet, but I'm told it will be soon.
I would really, really love to introduce some new people to AIM next summer.
Look up and see Jesus
This is the group morning devotion I led this morning on our last day of Mountain T.O.P Adults In Ministry. I normally wouldn't post something like this, but I had a special request. (Hi, Jan Lloyd-Gohl!)
Camp Cumberland Pines, Cumberland Heights, TN
June 29, 2013
Matthew 17 (CEB)
17 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain. 2 He was transformed in front of them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.
3 Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here. If you want, I'll make three shrines: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son whom I dearly love. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!" 6 Hearing this, the disciples fell on their faces, filled with awe.
7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
The Transfiguration, along with maybe the raising of Lazarus from the dead, is probably the most amazing thing witnessed by the disciples during Jesus' earthly ministry prior to the crucifixion.
Peter, upon witnessing the presence of the two legendary figures, immediately went into public relations mode. Hey, he must have thought, this will show everyone! Once they see this, they'll know that Jesus is the Messiah and have no choice but to appoint him as king and allow him to lead us in revolt against the Romans. Peter, overwhelmed by the experience, offers to put up tabernacles, or shrines, or shelters, depending on who you believe.
But God reminds Peter of what is really important: "This is my beloved son, Jesus. Listen to him."
Many of you, like me, have been coming to this place, this program, for years. Others are first-timers. It's a special experience, one we look forward to every year, one we're constantly talking to our friends and neighbors about. And that's a good thing. It's a great thing. I didn't think I was going to make it to the mountain this year, but God and the full-time staff made it possible for me to be here on short notice, and I was so excited about coming.
But now, we've gotten our fishhooks and we've loaded up our cars. In a little while, we'll be headed home.
7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
The purpose of this week has been to fix up houses and to teach workshops. But beyond that, it's been to love our home repair families and the teenagers with whom we've worked. And beyond that, it's been to look up, and see no one except Jesus. We mustn't ever become so obsessed with the Mountain T.O.P. experience that we forget to look at Jesus.
On Wednesday night, some of us stopped by and saw the inscription at the lookoff point at Beersheba Springs, where Mountain T.O.P. was born: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills." That's from Psalm 121. Here it is in the Common English Bible:
121I raise my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
2My help comes from the LORD,
the maker of heaven and earth.
3God won't let your foot slip.
Your protector won't fall asleep on the job.
4No! Israel's protector
never sleeps or rests!
5The LORD is your protector;
the LORD is your shade right beside you.
6The sun won't strike you during the day;
neither will the moon at night.
7The LORD will protect you from all evil;
God will protect your very life.o
8The LORD will protect you on your journeys—
whether going or coming—
from now until forever from now.
"…and they looked up, and saw no one except Jesus." As wonderful as this experience has been, all that matters is for us to look up and see Jesus. When we're looking at our slide show, when we're sorting through our photos or giving a report to our Sunday School class, we'll talk about our traditions and the friends we've made and the worship that made us cry and the fun times we've had. We'll talk about dominoes, and the room that got TPed, appendicitis, and Stone Door, and the woman with the distinctive laugh, and poppy-seed chicken, and putting the "P" in MPT, and fishhooks. That's a natural way to talk about an experience like this. But let's never get so excited about putting up a tent for Elijah that we forget about Jesus.
Going forward, we have to continue to have the faith, and the works, that we had this week with Moses, and Elijah, and Michael, and Joey, and Janey, and Brooke, and Alli here on the mountain.
As you leave here, look up – and see no one but Jesus.
Is it Wednesday already?
It can't be Wednesday already. The week is half gone!
Summer Plus is going well, and I've settled into both workshops — though with dramatically different roles and dynamics in each. We've got a great group of teens this year, and a great group of adult volunteers.
Tonight is our traditional free time night. Instead of eating in the dining hall, we'll have a cookout, with some brief entertainment, and then there will be no sharing or worship tonight. It is free time, and you can do whatever you like — but 90 percent of the camp ends up going to Beersheba Springs to Phil and Terry Mayhew's pottery shop, the Mountain Home gift shop, and to look off the overlook in front of the Methodist assembly. The Mayhews, who know we are coming, will stay open late (Terry often comes to the cookout to invite us) and Phil will sit on the front porch at his potter's wheel and throw some pieces for us to watch, which is always fascinating.
Those of you who are Facebook friends, I hope I haven't been overwhelming you with photos. I'm having a great week.
Tabula rasa
Normally when I go to Summer Plus, I teach creative writing during one of the two workshop sessions and then assist some other workshop leader in the other one.
I knew when I signed up for Mountain T.O.P. Adults In Ministry at such a late date that the roster of workshops might already be set in stone. I put on my application that I could teach "creative writing, or as needed."
Well, I got my touch-base call from the AIM staff this morning, and while they offered to let me teach creative writing if I really wanted to to they sort of gave the impression that things were OK as they were, and that was fine with me. So I'll be doing Summer Plus, but I won't be leading a workshop myself, only assisting in other people's workshops for both the morning and afternoon sessions. (This is what I do when I go to Kaleidoscope instead of Summer Plus – I assist rather than lead.) I don't know what sessions I'll be helping with, and the last few years the assignment of helpers has been more of an informal process, worked out during our planning sessions on Sunday night of camp week rather than in advance.
At the end of creative writing, I usually give the teens a blank journal. I've had a huge stash of journals, many of which were donated to me for this purpose by a friend a number of years back. I still had more than enough for one or two workshops, but almost all of the ones that remained had a cover design which my students would consider feminine.
I tend to have more girls than boys in the workshop, but even so I needed to be prepared. It's worth noting that I often let the teens pick out a journal themselves, and many of the girls in the past have preferred a plain blue journal bound like a hardback book over that supposedly girly-looking model, which was spiral-bound. That's one reason I had so many of the spiral-bound notebooks left.
I was at Walmart the other day and ended up buying three blank journals in more gender-neutral designs. It turns out I jumped the gun by doing that, since I won't be teaching the workshop, but I'll just save them for another year. (I may use one of them myself on the Sierra Leone trip.) At least it will be easier to pack, since I won't have to bring my big box of workshop stuff.
There will be about 25 adults in camp — 9 or 10 in Summer Plus and the rest in Major Home Repair. The full-time staff stops updating the "who's coming to camp" lists on the web site once training and camp season start — they've got a heck of a lot of other things to do that take precedence — and there were only about 15 people listed on the web site the last time that page was updated. Jan Schilling tells me that "Smitty" Smith is one of the additions, and I'm curious to know who else might be coming.
Helen Vickers tells me on FB that her husband Rick McNeely, a former Mountain T.O.P. full-time staffer who played the key role in creating Kaleidoscope, will be at Cumberland Pines next week as well — not in AIM but as an adult driver in the Youth Summer Missions (YSM) camp that will be taking place at the same time. The staff is usually pretty good about keeping YSM and AIM from crossing paths, but hopefully I'll get the chance to see and speak to Rick at some point.
I still remember one year when Mountain T.O.P. used to have an annual fund-raising golf tournament and I was a board member. They had one of those contests where, if you hit a hole in one on a designated hole, you win a car. The insurance company which made such contests possible required that there be two witnesses at the designated hole, not players, who could attest to a hole in one should it take place. Rick and I wound up with that job somehow — we sat at the second hole and watched every single tee shot so that we could witness any holes in one. (Sadly, it didn't happen.)
A busy couple of weeks
OK, here's the schedule.
I started work on a sermon today. This week (which should also be relatively busy at work) I've got to finish the sermon and make some final preparations for Mountain T.O.P. Adults In Ministry (AIM). On Sunday, as a lay speaker, I will load up my car, preach the sermon at Mt. Lebanon UMC at 9:30, then at Cannon UMC at 11, then I will head immediately for Altamont, arriving (with permission) a little late for AIM. I'll miss orientation but should make it in time for opening worship.
I'll return from Mountain T.O.P. on Saturday the 29th. On the morning of Sunday the 30th, I'll preach pretty much the same sermon from the week before at my home church, First UMC Shelbyville. Then, that afternoon, I'll go to First UMC Tullahoma for a big lay servant event, titled "Fan The Flame," where I'll be one of several people giving five-minute messages. That one is already written, and has been for several weeks, but I'll have to tweak it at some point between now and then to tie in better with the two messages that will precede it.
Fortunately, neither Rev. Doug Dezotell from Mt. Lebanon and Cannon nor Rev. Lloyd Doyle from my home church minds me straying from the Lectionary this once (in fact, it was Rev. Doyle's idea that I use the same sermon from the week before, since I won't have any time for sermon-writin' on the mountain).
Because my AIM trip was such a last-minute, hastily-arranged affair, I still won't know exactly what I'm doing in Summer Plus until I hear from the staff. Last week, I was trying to upgrade my old second-hand, rarely-used laptop to the latest version of the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system so that I could take it to camp and use it for e-mail and to type up our group project in creative writing class (assuming that I'll be teaching creative writing, and I don't know for sure yet). But something about (or coincidental to) the Ubuntu upgrade has wrecked the laptop's networking capabilities. It won't recognize its old PCM-CIA wireless card, and it won't even recognize being plugged in by Ethernet cable. I can still use it for the creative writing project, but I'll have to check my e-mail by phone for the week.
Andy Burroughs attended the AIM week which ended yesterday, and he's posted photos and videos, which only make me that much more anxious to get back to the mountain. In some ways, I feel more alive sitting in Friends Cabin (in the lobby or on the back porch) than anywhere else on the planet. It looks strange in Andy's photos to see Friends Cabin's Tyvek-wrapped doppelganger sitting right next door.
By the way, AIM is still in need of home repair volunteers. If you can arrange to go away next week on short notice – or if you want the dates of another AIM week later in the summer – click the link above or give me a call.
Video Blog Post, June 9: Anticipation
A surprise late entry
I was still recovering on Sunday from the Relay For Life, but I was also feeling an emotional letdown. I'd been looking forward to the symphony concert and the Relay For Life – two of my passions, both of which take place in the same month – and now, they were both over for another year, and it was back to the routine. I have the Sierra Leone trip in November, of course, which will be here before I know it, but I had nothing right now to anticipate.
Then, today, I got an e-mail. For reasons I won't go into here, I thought I wouldn't get to attend any of Mountain T.O.P.'s Adults In Ministry events this summer. But what I've learned in two decades of short-term missions is that if God wants you on a trip, God will put you on that trip. An obstacle got moved today, by God – and the wonderful staff at Mountain T.O.P.
So now, on short notice, I'll be attending the late-June AIM week at Camp Cumberland Pines. It won't be the shortest notice on record; I recall one occasion when a friend of the ministry who lived within driving distance of camp was, on a Sunday morning, talked into attending an AIM event which began on a Sunday afternoon.
Mountain T.O.P. is in serious need of AIM volunteers – the ministry received some generous grant funds this year and is working on a number of projects, but they won't happen without warm bodies. If I can make this trip on short notice, why can't you? Maybe God is calling you to make the drive up the mountain with me (or to one of the other scheduled events).
I am delighted that the camp week I'll be attending has some dear friends already signed up – Jan Schilling among them. I will be among friends, in one of my favorite places on the planet, doing the Summer Plus program which first attracted me to Mountain T.O.P. in 1993.
Here, if you're interested, is a page with links to some of my previous ramblings about the AIM program.

Luxury Hotel in Perthshire
The Four Seasons Hotel in Perthshire Scotland is situated in a picturesque setting on the banks of Loch Earn. The natural beauty of this location is the first delight for every visitor to St. Fillans, and the position of the Four Seasons, looking south-west down Loch Earn, is one of the most enviable settings in Scotland.
The views from the hotel are ever-changing throughout the seasons: fresh new colours of spring, long, light summer's evenings, spectacular sunsets to the west, morning mists shrouding the loch and the snow covered Bens. The hotel is a perfect wedding venue and we are licensed for civil weddings too!
Originally built in the early 1800's for the manager of the limekilns, the main house then became the schoolmaster's house. Converted in the 1900's, it has been extended over the years to a comfortable hotel with a number of individual sitting rooms, twelve bedrooms, six chalets and a holiday apartment.
All our spacious rooms are ensuite, mostly with bath and shower. Many enjoy uninterrupted views down Loch Earn. Rooms vary in size, and some can accommodate an extra bed.
For those who prefer to be more secluded, there are six chalets on the wooded hillside behind the hotel; all have a bunkroom, making them ideal for family use.
Pets are welcome in Scotland at this lochside hotel, in both the secluded chalets, or loch view bedrooms. Enjoy great dog walks in some of Scotland's finest scenery. Our resident friendly canines welcome fellow pets free of charge; please see our Pet Concierge Service for further details.
We also offer self catering accommodation in the form of an apartment. This has one double and one twin room as well as a sitting room and bathroom. You can always eat in our fine dining restaurant or bar if you want a rest!

Legislativa, náklady a daně
Types of companies
The following types of legal entities are permitted to operate in the Republic of Lithuania:
- individual enterprise (sole proprietorship) (PĮ);
- general partnership (TUB);
- limited partnership (KUB);
- public limited liability company (AB);
- private limited liability company (UAB);
- state enterprise;
- municipal enterprise;
- non-profit organization (VŠĮ);
- agricultural company;
- co-operative enterprise;
- European company;
- European Economic Interest Grouping.
The most common method of investment in the Republic of Lithuania is through the incorporation of a private or public limited liability company (UAB or AB) under the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania or acquisition of shares in existing Lithuanian companies. Still, the most popular form of doing business in Lithuania is through a UAB. A comparison of the main features of both types of companies is presented in the table below:
Requirements for the formation of business
|Private Limited Liability Company - UAB
|Public Limited Liability Company - AB
|Minimum authorized (share) capital
|approx. EUR 2,900
|approx. EUR 43,450
|Maximum number of shareholders (if any)
|Not established
|Minimum number of shareholders (incorporators)
|Liability of shareholders
|Not mandatory
|Public trading in securities
Company registration
Registration of a UAB requires taking the following five steps:
- lodging of an application for reservation of the UAB name;
- preparation of the incorporation documents;
- opening of an accumulative bank account;
- submission of documents for certification by a notary public;
- registration of the UAB with the Company Register Office.
The estimated time for incorporating a UAB is about 3 weeks after all the incorporation documents are duly executed.
The shareholders of AB or UAB may be Lithuanian or foreign individuals or legal entities. There are no restrictions or special encumbrances set forth in respect to foreign shareholders under the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania. Lithuanian laws do not restrict in any way the participation of foreigners in the management of Lithuanian companies. Foreign citizens may be freely elected either to the supervisory council or the board or the position of CEO. However, if such foreign citizens are employed in the company (employment is mandatory only for the CEO), they must obtain temporary residence permits. Such permits are normally valid for up to one year, but for EU citizens they may be issued for up to five years (permits are renewable).
Employment Law
Conclusion of an employment contract
The employment contract must be in writing, and in accordance with the model form established by the law, and it must contain essential provisions, i.e. those on which parties must agree to validate the employment contract, and other provisions. The essential provisions are: the place of work and work functions. Separate types of employment contracts can also provide for other essential provisions (e.g. term of contract, seasonal work, etc.). It is forbidden to enter into a fixed-term employment contract, if the work is of a permanent nature. Besides the essential provisions, in every employment contract both parties are required to agree on the conditions of payment for work.
Termination of an employment contract
The Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania (Labour Code) regulates the dismissal of an employee. The main bases of employment termination are the following:
- expiry of an employment contract;
- liquidation of an employer without a legal successor;
- death of an employee.
An employment contract is terminated by:
- agreement between the parties;
- notice of an employee;
- notice of an employer;
- initiative of an employer without notice;
- other cases provided for by the law.
If there is no fault of the employee, the employment contract may be terminated by the employer for good reason, e.g. due to circumstances related with the employee's qualifications, professional competence or behaviour at work. The contract may be also terminated for economic or technological reasons, due to structural changes at the work place etc. The employer dismissing an employee at the employer's initiative without fault on the part of employee must give him a written notice at least 2 months before the termination date.
Work hours, overtime work, renumeration
The normal work hours for an employee may not exceed 40 hours per week. The daily period of work should not exceed eight working hours. A five-day workweek is standard, but it may be extended to six days. Generally overtime is prohibited. An employer may apply overtime hours only in exceptional cases, which are specified in the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania. In any case the employee's overtime hours shall not exceed four hours in two consequent days and 120 hours per year for each employee. A different annual duration may be established in the collective agreement for overtime hours, however, not exceeding 180 hours per year. The pay for overtime and night work shall be at least one and a half times the hourly pay/monthly wages established for the employee.
The general minimum monthly wage is approx. EUR 232.
The minimum annual paid vacation is 28 calendar days, but is increased to 35 calendar days for employees under the age of 18, a single parent raising a child under the age of 14 or a disabled child under the age of 18. Normally, all employees are entitled to their annual paid vacation leave after they have worked in the company continuously for an initial period of six months.
Work permits for non-residents
Foreign citizens (except EU citizens) who are not permanent residents of Lithuania may work temporarily in Lithuania under an employment contract, provided they have a work permit issued by the Lithuanian Labour Exchange at the Ministry of Social Security and Labour. EU citizens are released from the obligation to obtain a work permit, but those who intend to reside in Lithuania for more than three months within a half-year period must obtain a temporary residence permit. It is not possible to apply for a residence permit while staying in Lithuania on a short-term visit visa.
Taxes and costs
Plant your capital in Lithuania – the country which provides the possibility to do business in EU at lower costs. The unique combination of highly educated people and low salaries together with highly competitive utility and real estate costs is worth exploring.
Small Tax Burden
Lithuania pursues a business-friendly tax policy. Lithuania's corporate tax is 15%, individual taxation (15%) is in line with similar countries, and the overall tax burden is one of the smallest among the EU countries.
Enterprises registered in Lithuania must pay taxes in Lithuania on profits and capital gains earned both in Lithuania and abroad. Withholding taxes paid abroad and not exceeding the tax payable in Lithuania on foreign income may be credited. Moreover, tax relief may be applied according to applicable international treaties.
Major Corporate Taxes
|Personal income tax
|15 (+6% health insurance contribution)
|Corporate profit tax
|Tax on dividends
|0* to 15
|Social security tax for employer
|31 (+ employee's contribution of 3%)
|Real estate tax
* shall be applied to income derived from individuals' business activities like production (agriculture included), trade or most service supplies. The rate of 15 % will continue to be applied on profits from liberal professions (such as: lawyers, notaries, consultants etc.), and also on real estate sales and lease as well as revenues from the transfer of securities.
** shall be applied on profits of an enterprise, if income derived from the agricultural activity of that enterprise exceeds 50 % of the total amount of income received during the taxation period.
*** the application of the reduced 9 % rate on heating and hot water, and the reduced 5 % rate on supplies of pharmaceuticals and medical aid has been prolonged until the end of 2011. The reduced 9 % rate on books and non-periodical publications has been prolonged for an indefinite period. Also, the reduced 9 % rate on hotel-type and other accommodation services has been fixed to be applied until the end of 2011.
The wage level in Lithuania is very competitive compared to other European markets. Since January 1, 2008, the minimum monthly wage is EUR 231, and the minimum hourly wage is EUR 1.4. In the 4th quarter of 2008 the average monthly wage was EUR 672.

Hair got caught in the sunlight darling But I just wasted the day. I knew it would happen this way.Zooey Claire Deschanel
I felt a joy in my heart, which seemed filled with love, love for the sun, the snow, the wind and the hills, love for everything around me. It was in this mood that I walked down the snow-covered path dotted with black footprints. Further down the footprints mingled and made dirty little puddles. I picked my way over the thickest snow because I loved the crunching of snow underfoot. With the sunlight pouring down and a breeze in my face I felt that balmy spring was coming to meet me.Li Yaotang
If all people were to come by equal concepts and inclinations, without any difference whatsoever, all the souls of all the people would be regarded as one soul. Its value would be like the light of the sun: the light clothes in all the inhabitants of the world, yet we do not discern that there are separate forms in the sunlight. Similarly, one conceptual soul would robe many bodies, since places do not separate at all in spiritual matters if there are no separate forms in their qualities.Yehuda Ashlag
To tell the truth, the chariot was an astonishing sight to behold, because I had polished the steel of my flying house so carefully that it reflected the sunlight on all sides. It was so bright and dazzling that I thought, myself, that I had been carried away in a chariot of fire.Cyrano Hercule Savinien de Bergerac

First Known Use of TANGO
tangonoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Spirited dance; also a South American ballroom dance. It evolved in the dance halls and, perhaps, the brothels of poorer districts of Buenos Aires, Arg., possibly influenced by the Cuban habanera. It was made popular in the U.S. by Vernon and Irene Castle, and by 1915 it was being danced throughout Europe. Early versions, danced to music in the prevailing duple metre (), were fast and exuberant; these were later modified to the smoother ballroom step, characterized by long pauses and stylized body positions and danced to music usually in time. Among those associated with tango are Juan D'Arienzo, Anibal Troilo, Osvaldo Pugliese, Carlos Di Sarli, Francisco Canaro, Astor Piazzolla, and Carlos Gardel.

Rick Owens will soon unveil two temporary stores for his DRKSHDW (Dark Shadow) collection. The stores will open at 70-72 Wooster Street in Manhattan from July 16 to October 26, and in London at 30A Redchurch Street from September 4 to October 13, representing the line's first two freestanding stores. The New York shop will measure 2,500 square feet, while the London boutique will be 215 square feet. The Paris-based designer's secondary line is a women's and men's collection featuring the characteristic Owens' shapes reinterpreted in denim and knits. DRKSHDW was launched in late 2005 and is mainly manufactured in Italy, retailing for more moderate prices than the designer's primary line.

Interagency Request for Comment: MCUL Comments on Interagency Flood Proposal
On Dec. 10, the MCUL & Affiliates provided its comment letter to the NCUA regarding the Interagency Proposal addressing loans in areas having special flood hazards. The proposed rule addresses amendments to the National Flood Insurance Program as amended in the Biggert-Waters Act specifically:
MCUL was generally supportive of the requirements addressed in the proposal, however MCUL asked the agencies to be cognizant of the current regulatory burdens credit unions are facing and be mindful of placing additional regulatory requirements on credit unions. MCUL also asked the agencies to consider extending the effective date of compliance or provide for a waiver in the event a compliance date cannot be met.
The MCUL's Comment Letter can be found here.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.

Pennsylvanians Kingsfoil Play The Space Tonight, Feb. 15
Ten years ago, musicians Jordan Davis and Tristan Martin decided to pool their musical talents, and formed Kingsfoil together. As a duo, they found fans and played plenty of shows, but realized their size was holding them back because a lot of venues in their area weren't interested in booking an acoustic two-some. "The bigger clubs wouldn't book a duo. They wouldn't get behind a smaller act like that and we wanted to be able to play some bigger clubs," says Davis, the band's singer and guitar player, as well as primary lyricist, of the decision to flesh out the band to a full, electric ensemble. But the real reason is much simpler: "It just seems so much fun to be ...loud," he says.
Now a foursome, Kingsfoil has spent much of their time on the road, trying to have a life of some kind of normalcy at home. "you're home for a while, it's cool to get to see your friends. But if I can pick up some hours or try to work for somebody, I try to do that," Davis says. "It's definitely a haphazard way of living, but I like it right now," he says. That way of living has Davis and his band mates swinging through Connecticut on the night of Friday, Feb. 15 for a show at The Space. They're coming off the success their record released last year, A Beating Heart is a Bleeding Heart. The band's sound outstretches what they seem capable of as a quartet, and the album reflects both the the passion and weight of living life as a musician.
Davis draws his inspiration as a songwriter from the situations around him, not just his own experiences. He chooses the relationships of friends and family, as well as people he's encountered to build a musical story. "I kind of draw on a lot of really factual situations that happen, but at the same time not all of my songs are factual," he says. Davis also writes a large amount of the melodies, and Martin will fill out other parts of the song before it reaches its final incarnation. The main focus is to make sure their songs are fun to play live, Davis says, and then in turn try to grab that spirit when recording the songs, instead of doing it the other way around.
Since forming a full band from the original duo, the band has gone through a couple of line-up changes to get where they are today. And your eyes do not deceive you, that is Frankie Muniz, better known to the world as the title character of TV's "Malcolm in the Middle," standing with Davis, Martin and bassist Tim Warren. Muniz auditioned for the role of drummer last year and got the gig. Muniz had been a fan of Kingsfoil and after the dissolution of a previous band, expressed interest in joining Kingsfoil. Management connections got him the audition, and the rest is history. "At the time we were kind of like, 'This is gonna be awkward if he sucks because we're gonna have to be like "You flew out here for nothing,"'" Davis says. "He did a really great job. And it seemed to make sense and it seemed to click, and it was definitely a leap of faith for us, but at this point it was really the right decision," he says.
You can stream A Beating Heart is a Bleeding Heart on Spotify, and be sure to check them out Friday night before they blow the hell up.
Kingsfoil, with Jillian Jensen (from X-Factor), First Things First, Move Out West, Weatherstar, Faith Ziegler, Brett Steinberg and Kenny Ward, Feb. 15, 6 p.m., $13 advance, $15 day of show, @ The Space.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is an American country singer that has been closely linked to Nick Jonas romantically. Taylor Swift is friends with Selena Gomez and often goes out with her. Taylor Swift is an up and coming performer with several awards to her name.
Tt was quite a weekend for pop music fans in Las Vegas as the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival rolled into town on Saturday (September 20).
"Black Widow" rapper Iggy Azalea took the stage at the MGM Grand Resort and Casino to wow the crowd with her lyrical flow while Taylor Swift brought her super cute persona and plenty of hit songs.
Proving that she's got plenty of style chops, Taylor Swift stepped out toting her darling kitty cat in New York City this afternoon (September 16).
The "Trouble" singer rocked a plaid skirt with thigh high stockings and toted Olivia Benson, her lovable white pet, as she trekked around the Big Apple.
Never one to keep her opinions to herself, Katy Perry took to Twitter on Tuesday (September 9) to cryptically respond to Taylor Swift's supposed allegations that she tried to ruin her career.
The "I Kissed a Girl" gal tweeted, "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing," referencing Rachel McAdams' character in "Mean Girls."
October 27th is the magical date when Taylor Swift's millions of fans will be able to get their grubby little paws on her new fully-pop album 1989.
And in her new interview with Rolling Stone, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" songstress confesses she only wrote one revenge song for the record- a track called "Bad Blood" about a fellow female singer.
Taking care of a few errands, Taylor Swift made her way around London, England earlier this afternoon (September 3).
The "Trouble" beauty rocked a darling black dress with strappy heels as she stepped out of the Ham Yard Hotel and made her way out into the city.
She's no stranger to accomplishing huge feats, and Taylor Swift just snagged the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her new single "Shake It Off."
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" cutie bumped MAGIC!'s hit "Rude" out of the top positition in what will likely be a lengthy tenure in the pole position.
She's never had to rely on cheap sexuality to win over fans, and last night (August 24) Taylor Swift kept it classy and fun at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.
Sporting a flirty flapper-inspired getup, the "Mean" songstress performed her new single "Shake It Off" for the first time live, along with a brigade of suited and booted male backup dancers.
With another year's show come and gone, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.
The big winners at The Forum show on Sunday night (August 24) included Miley Cyrus as Video of the Year honoree for "Wrecking Ball" while Katy Perry nabbed Best Female Video for "Dark Horse" and Ed Sheeran took home the Moonman for Best Male Video for "Sing".
She's got her dancing shoes on and Taylor Swift couldn't wait to arrive at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards earlier this evening (August 24).
And of course the "22" stunner was primped to perfection by the time she stepped in front of the cameras outside The Forum in Inglewood, showing plenty of love for her fans.
She's possibly the most popular singer in the world, and yet Taylor Swift never forgets to drop in on her mother from time to time.
On Thursday (August 21) the "Should've Said No" singer showed up at her mama's home in Beverly Hills, sporting a black shirt dress with black loafers and a Prada bag.

Weird Al Ready to Show Harold Camping How It's Done
The Rapture never came May 21. Nor on Harold Camping's revised date of October 21. But switch around those numerals and swap out one weird guy for another, and you've got the next best thing for Angelenos–Weird Al Yankovic's "Alpocalypse" tour performance at the Pantages Theatre this Saturday, November 12.
One big difference between Harold's Rapture and Al's 'Pocalypse is the fact that in the latter case, children under five will not be admitted. From the show's promotional blurb:
Weird Al's first full-length studio album in nearly five years debuted at No. 9 on the U.S. album charts, marking the highest-charting album of his storied career. Alpocalypse features the much-talked-about Lady Gaga parody "Perform This Way" as well as parodies of hits by Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, T.I. and B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars. Al and his long-time bandmates were aided and abetted in the recording studio by guest appearances from Taylor Hanson and The Doors' Ray Manzarek.

Suburu unveils new All-Wheel Drive Tribeca at NY Auto Show
Subaru has taken the wraps off its new Tribeca All-Wheel Drive SUV at the New York Auto Show. Featuring more generic, but easier-on-the-eye looks and a new fully revised interior, the 2008 model's green credentials are all under the hood. Subaru are introducing their largest ever engine to power the Tribeca in the form of a 3.6-litre horizontally opposed six cylinder that produces 190 kW / 255 hp and 334 Nm / 246 ft-lbs of torque.
Despite the increase from the previous 3.0-litre unit, the new, larger engine maintains emission levels and improves fuel economy. Part of the efficiency improvement is due to the introduction of a Dual Active Valve Control System (Dual AVCS) which controls the timing of both the intake and exhaust valves, along with a revised automatic transmission and a weight reduction of the powertrain by 4.4 kg / 9.7 lbs.
Analysis: It's great to see Subaru improve the fuel efficiency of the Tribeca. I would have liked to see what they could have done with a 3.0-litre engine instead of increasing its size to 3.6-litres though. Increasing the power and torque of new models is clearly still an important selling point in the eyes of the auto makers. How much longer will we live in a world where maintaining emissions from generation to generation is considered acceptable?

Reflections on Easter Sunday
The following post is the fourth and final part of a four part easter series I've written. See also my reflections on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
"But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died" (1 Cor 15:20).
Although the resurrection of Jesus is a distinct event and, indeed, reveals that the most determinative reality of the universe is love, it does not erase or cancel out the suffering and death of Jesus in any way. Far from it. The resurrection is the Father's "yes" to the Son's gift of himself; it is the Father's proclamation that a particular person and embodied life is the content of love. I think Herbert McCabe is correct in saying that "the best picture of the resurrection is the cross" (God Matters 106). In this post, I want to emphasize that the resurrection of Jesus does not finally mean that we won't suffer and die. This is what I mean when I say it does not erase the cross. I think this is important to note because we too easily interpret our hope in Christ as escape from suffering and death. I think exactly the opposite is the case. I want to suggest that the resurrection is not so much about escape from suffering and death, rather it tells us how to go about living and dying. In other words, I want to suggest that the shape of our living (and our dying) must take the form of the cross. In the words of McCabe, "the cross does not show us some temporary weakness of God that is cancelled out by the resurrection. It says something permanent about God: not that God eternally suffers but that the eternal power of God is love; and this as expressed in history must be suffering" (109).
This, however, is not the final word. The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our hope for a future of being together in God. It is God's eternal promise to humanity. The form of Jesus' life and death is not trivial; it is what love looks like in a broken world. Our participation in the resurrection (and we will all be raised) takes a particular form in the here and now. I want to suggest that it takes the form of the cross, which is nothing less than offering our whole lives to the other, especially the poor and rejected ones of our world, as a prayer with Jesus to the Father.

After winning big, Bill Foster prepares for return to Congress
By Matt Hanley email@example.com November 8, 2012 3:14PM
Bill Foster speaks to supporters after being elected to the U.S. Congress on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. | Jeff Cagle~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 10, 2012 6:25AM
It wasn't just pollsters who were surprised by the results of the 11th Congressional District race between U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert and former U.S. Rep. Bill Foster.
Even Foster's camp was startled that he won with nearly 60 percent of the vote.
"Personally, we're trying to understand the margin of victory," Foster said, one day after besting Biggert.
Foster said all internal and external polls showed a dead heat against the longtime congresswoman. Foster expected to win in Kane County, Will County and Aurora.
But when the first returns showed him well ahead in traditionally Republican counties such as Kendall and DuPage, Foster realized the race would not go late into the night.
Biggert declined interviews Wednesday, after her first political loss at the state or federal level. Tuesday evening, she seemed relieved that at least the campaign — if not her political career — was over. Foster described Biggert's concession call as "very gracious."
How did Foster win big? He speculated some of the vote may have been influenced by DuPage being a high-tech corridor, where his background as a Fermilab physicist was appealing. And the polling might not have accounted for how many voters actually showed up, sort of an enthusiasm gap.
On Wednesday, Foster was sipping ginger tea at his Naperville home, trying to get his voice back to full strength after an election night that returned him to Congress after a two-year hiatus.
Foster won a special election for U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert's seat in March 2008, then the general election in the 14th Congressional District eight months later. In 2010, he was one of several Democrats swept out of the office, losing a close race to Randy Hultgren.
After leaving office, Foster worked for the Bulletin for Atomic Scientists and prepared to run again for Congress in the new 11th District, which includes nearly all of Aurora, Naperville, Oswego, Montgomery and Joliet.
Foster said he chuckled when he got an e-mail Wednesday morning inviting him to the orientation activities for freshman congressmen. It felt a bit like being the kid who was held back a grade, he said.
Foster will return to the House in the minority party, but he's optimistic that compromise is possible.
"It's going to depend on the leadership in the Republican Party. Their avowed strategy for the last two years was to try to stop President Obama from being a two-term president," Foster said. "If their only strategy is a continuation of obstruction, then they're going to find the voters are not very satisfied with that."
Foster, 57, said his top priority after being sworn in will be to restore U.S. manufacturing. Foster said there is no magic bullet, but a hundred little things that can be done.
"You have to look at every piece of legislation and see it through a lens of: Will this be good for U.S. manufacturing or not?" he said. "That's one of the many lenses you look through."
Price per vote? Foster's cost half of Biggert's
Seeing an opportunity to influence the balance of power in Washington, D.C., through Illinois, outside groups plowed $43 million into the top six U.S. House races in the Land of Lincoln on top of individual campaign spending.
In the 11th District race, each vote cost Foster less than half the amount per vote spent by Biggert.
The Sun-Times added the amount SuperPACs spent on a candidate to the amount the candidate reported spending from his or her personal campaign fund in the latest disclosure available. Those mid-October reports do not reflect the money each candidate spent in the crucial final weeks of the campaign.
Out of the 18 costliest House races in the country, six of them were contests in Illinois.
Foster won with the biggest margin, according to vote tallies, with 58 percent of the vote.
It cost about $30 per vote for Foster, given the $4.3 million spent by or on his behalf and the 139,849 votes cast for him.
Spending on Biggert's side exceeded $6.3 million. Ending up with 101,002 ballots cast for her, it averages out to $62 a vote.
