Some Reflections on Improving Our ITF Schools
This message is addressed especially to those of you who own ITF Taekwon-Do schools, although I hope others will find it of interest as well, particularly our Black Belt holders.
It is summer in the northern hemisphere, and in summer time we generally have more time to think and plan, so I thought this would be a good time of the year to write about ways of improving Taekwon-Do schools. Also, in many places, new sessions of Taekwon-Do courses start in September, which makes it a good time to introduce new ways of doing things.
I hope you will find these comments and suggestions both thought-provoking and useful.
As teachers of Taekwon-Do, we all have the same goal: to promote ITF Taekwon-Do.
Think back to when you started in Taekwon-Do: Perhaps you were curious about the martial arts. A friend recommended Taekwon-Do, and you thought you would give it a try. You took a course and really enjoyed it, so you continued to take courses. You started to get serious about training. You may have participated in Taekwon-Do competitions. Im sure you became passionate about Taekwon-Do. And at some point you started to share that passion by teaching Taekwon-Do.
For many of you, the next logical step was to have your own Taekwon-Do school. However, making the transition from teaching to operating your own school is not easy. When you set the goal of operating your own Taekwon-Do school, you were taking on a big challenge!
You may recall that I wrote about making Taekwon-Do your career in my message of September 2006: A Successful and Fulfilling Career in ITF Taekwon-Do. (Click here to read this message.)
You have made Taekwon-Do your career, and owning your own school is your dream. Of course you want your school to be a success, but success is not limited to how much money you make. We teach our students the techniques of ITF Taekwon-Do, but we also have a responsibility and a mission: to guide our students so that they become better people and good citizens. A successful teacher sees the results in his students.
A Family Business
Very often, an ITF Taekwon-Do school is a family business. Especially at the beginning, everyone in the family pitches in to help.
However, you cannot expect that to continue forever. No one likes to feel taken for granted, so it is important to let your family members know how much you appreciate their support. You will want to pay them a fair wage as soon as it becomes possible, and dont forget to pay yourself a reasonable salary as well.
Are you missing an opportunity?
Over the last six years the ITF has made efforts to improve the structure of the organization, the services offered, and the image of our organization. I am very proud to look back and see all that we have achieved. We now have official policies and rules that are applied and respected in ITF-affiliated organizations around the globe.
International Instructors Courses give teachers around the world the opportunity to update their techniques and teaching methods. The Technical Instruction Committee has worked to put a good uniform technical standard in place.
After including an introduction to teaching the Do in several IICs and consultations with many ITF teachers, the working group is now finalizing the basic program for teaching the Do. I am pleased to say Level 1 will be officially introduced in 2010. To see the PowerPoint presentation about Teaching the Do, click here.
I believe these achievements have made being identified with the ITF a great asset for Taekwon-Do school owners, instructors, and teachers. However, I have noticed that many schools have no visible signage, exterior or interior, indicating that they are affiliated with the ITF. They are not taking advantage of the opportunity to benefit from the positive image the ITF has built in recent years.
Are you missing the opportunity to benefit from identifying your school with the ITF?
Society continues to evolve
The ITF is a solid, forward-looking organization, and ITF Taekwon-Do is an excellent product. However, we can no longer be the sitting stance with punching schools of twenty-five or thirty years ago. Society evolves as each successive generation comes along, and we need to adapt. If we continue to do as we have always done, we will be missing opportunities to promote Taekwon-Do.
Know your product
What would you say if I asked you to sell Taekwon-Do to me in just one minute?
I would say something like this:
Taekwon-Do is a martial art that offers students a way to improve their physical and mental health while at the same time exploring the Taekwon-Do philosophy, called the Do.
You can learn self-defense techniques and practice Taekwon-Do according to your physical and mental capacity.
Taekwon-Do can help you to have a better, happier life.
Each of us will have his or her own way of selling Taekwon-Do, so you probably wouldnt use the same words. But the basic information should be the same, and it should be clear that the goal for students is self-improvement through making Taekwon-Do their way of life.
What is the public image of your school?
I suggest you start by asking yourself questions like:
It is also a good idea to consult some people who know your school. What do they think about the public image of your school? What is about the physical environment? Do they feel the atmosphere is welcoming? Ask how you could improve, and listen to all comments and suggestions. Of course when you ask for advice you have to be ready to hear negative comments as well as the good ones, but I am sure you will learn something from this exercise.
The best way to improve the public image of your school and differentiate your school from the others is to offer top quality courses.
Developing various markets
One size does not fit all! We need to develop different programs for different groups:
An Innovative Idea
My eldest daughter Joliette has started her own ITF Taekwon-Do
school, specializing in courses for people fifty years and older who
would not generally think of practicing a martial art. In addition to
traditional Taekwon-Do courses, she is offering courses for physical
conditioning and rehabilitation.
To read about Joliettes school, click here.
Emphasize the benefits
The martial arts are better known now than in the past. However, they still tend to attract mostly those who are looking for a physical and mental challenge. Most other people are intimidated by the thought of having to learn hard training combat techniques, so your marketing plan must include innovative ways of getting the message about the benefits of Taekwon-Do to them.
Your marketing plan should emphasize the three reasons why we practice Taekwon-Do: physical and mental conditioning, self-improvement by applying the Do, and self-defense.
While I believe everyone can benefit from learning self-defense techniques, I also know very well that most people will never be in a situation where they need to defend themselves or someone else against physical aggression. On the other hand, Taekwon-Do training offers benefits that prospective students may not worry about.
ITF Taekwon-Do has two technical particularities: the sine wave movement and the breathing. The sine wave movement requires physical and mental relaxation at the beginning of the movement. By relaxing, you avoid straining your body and make the most efficient use of your strength. It is essential that teachers ensure that their students are doing the sine wave movement correctly. Breathing appropriately increases the amount of oxygen in your system and gives you the ability to perform the techniques properly. Breathing well has a positive effect on your overall health as well.
And we mustnt forget the Do. The Taekwon-Do philosophy formulated by General Choi Hong Hi provides an ethical structure expressed in the five tenets: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. The Do serves as a guide to living a principled life: the Taekwon-Do way of life.
We practice Taekwon-Do and we have all experienced the numerous positive effects on our lives. The important thing is to express this to our students and prospective students.
You may recall that in a previous message I told the story about the young king and his master, a very wise man. This story illustrates why we practice and teach Taekwon-Do. Click here to read the story again.
Acquire the skills you need
You wouldnt expect anyone to teach Taekwon-Do without the necessary knowledge and training, and the same applies to operating your Taekwon-Do school: In order to be successful you need to acquire a whole new set of skills.
Whether you are just starting your school or have been operating for a number of years, you need to know how to prepare a business plan, how to prepare a budget, how to do the bookkeeping, how to manage your employees, how to promote your school, how to find new students, how to get positive media coverage, and how to deal with your local authorities. At the same time you will be teaching classes as well as making sure the school premises are properly maintained and that the atmosphere is always positive and welcoming. As I said above, its a big challenge!
No matter what your previous experience, you will probably need to acquire some of these skills and many others that I have not mentioned. You can learn a lot from consulting more experienced school owners, and I encourage you to seek them out. It is also a good idea to look into courses that will give you the skills you need. For example, many local colleges offer courses to help you develop your management skills. There are also courses specifically for small business owners. These courses can be worth your time not only because of the knowledge you will acquire, but because they give you the opportunity to meet and talk with other small business owners who face many of the same problems.

There are many methods you can use to promote your Taekwon-Do school, but the difference between success and failure in marketing is very small. So its essential to start with a well-thought-out marketing plan. Here are some points to consider for your marketing plan:
The Worldwide Web has become an essential marketing tool, and every ITF Taekwon-Do school should have its own Website with a link to the official Website of the ITF www.tkd-itf.org.
In many ITF schools there is no signage to identify their affiliation with the ITF. This is regrettable because the ITF now has an excellent reputation and these schools are not getting the benefit of that. Wouldnt it be a good idea to publicize your schools ITF affiliation?
Teaching Taekwon-Do is generally a good fit with your local education system. Why not approach the principal or head of a school in your community? Give them a professional presentation about Taekwon-Do, your school, and the ITF. Ask for permission to give a demonstration for the students and/or parents. At the demonstration, you can hand out a flyer offering try it classes.
An anecdote: Many years ago I had a rather amusing experience when I was handing out flyers promoting Taekwon-Do courses. If you would like to read this story, click here.
Demonstrations can be an effective marketing tool. Here are some points to consider:
The Media
As I mentioned above, it is often worthwhile to take a course in public relations or media relations. Such courses may be offered by a local college or by the Chamber of Commerce. Once you know how the media function and you learn how to attract their attention, you will generally have positive results and free publicity for your Taekwon-Do school!
Newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations are businesses. They want to attract the most readers or viewers possible so that they can sell advertising pages or airtime. They certainly do not want to have blank pages or dead airtime! So if you give them an interesting story, they will probably use it.
It is essential to prepare well for interviews with the media. What is your goal in doing the interview? Dont be shy to ask the people around you for pointers about how to act and get your message across effectively during an interview. Ask them to evaluate your performance and make suggestions about how you could improve. Record radio or television interviews so that you can review them later and identify any weaknesses.
If you have a budget for advertising, plan to spend it wisely. An ad in a national newspaper may seem prestigious but it is also very expensive and wont necessarily reach your target clientele. An ad in your local newspaper is much less expensive and much more effective at reaching the local people who are your prospective students.
If you do buy an ad in a newspaper or magazine, you must take care of every detail. Choose a publication that will reach your target clientele. Make sure there are no errors in your ad and that it is placed in an appropriate section of the publication. Where would an ad for a Taekwon-Do school be more effective: on the fashion page or in the sports section?
Remember: Marketing and sale are important, but too much emphasis on commercial aspect can push people away.
If your school has a positive public image and a reputation for quality, backed up by the credibility of ITF black belts, it will attract new students. Word of mouth is still the best publicity, and you cant buy that.
Treat your students well
Many martial arts organizations make efforts to find new students but cant keep them. The key to retaining students is that teachers must take good care of their students. Offer top quality teaching along with plenty of encouragement. Adapt your teaching to your students needs. Teachers need time to work one on one with their students. A Taekwon-Do school should provide a welcoming community that has a good influence on its students. Be accessible for your students. General Choi taught us that we need to follow protocol and we should always maintain a line between teachers and students, but teachers must not be arrogant. Spending time with students outside the dojang will make you seem more human to them, and this will increase the respect they already feel for you as their teacher.
Try to avoid practices that could make your school and your marketing appear overly commercial. Here a couple of examples:
The ITF does approve some products but they should be sold at a reasonable price and be safe for the users.
To treat your students well you need to continuously work to improve your technical skills and teaching methods. During my visits to ITF Taekwon-Do schools, I have noticed that some teachers are still using techniques from thirty or forty years ago when Taekwon-Do was taught as a new introduced martial art. Back then, students at all belt and age levels learned and trained together. This was not good pedagogically, but we didnt have enough people and the resources to do otherwise. Today that is no longer the case.
To teach a subject you need to have the up-to-date knowledge but you also need to know how to teach and make it interesting. So you need to acquire the knowledge and get the appropriate training so that you will be able to teach effectively.
Finally, I would like to remind you not to forget to thank your volunteers and do so frequently. Most Taekwon-Do schools rely on volunteers, and you need to show them how much you appreciate what they do.
Society is always evolving. Many people today have more leisure time and are more interested in the health benefits of physical conditioning. ITF offers a quality product that will help fulfill those needs.
To sum up my suggestions:
And yes, it is possible to find a balance between teaching Taekwon-Do for the passion and making a living.
My purpose in writing this message was to communicate some ideas about how to make your Taekwon-Do school better. I hope this message will encourage all school owners as well as everyone who is planning a career teaching Taekwon-Do to think seriously about how we can best serve our students and achieve our goal of promoting Taekwon-Do.

Grand Master Trân Triêu Quân
Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam
August 12th, 2009
The son of one of my employees, a young man studying for his Ph.D. in education, had practiced another martial art for a number of years but had stopped. Recently he remarked:
Previously, when I left the dojang I could not use anything that I had learned there. All the emphasis was on techniques, and the teachers did not explain the other benefits.
After reading the Presidents Messages on the ITF Website, I can see that ITF Taekwon-Do is different because it can be applied in your daily life.
This is what we mean by
Teaching you the Taekwon-Do way of life.

Let the sun into your school
Investments need to be sustainable and oriented towards a livable future, particularly if they are adopted as part of an economic support package. This is why SolarWorld is providing support for solar power systems on schools and kindergartens in the form of a special Solar Premium of up to 2.000 € (including VAT). It is most important that students start getting involved in modern power generation during their school education. Moreover solar power systems provide reliable earnings for schools and kindergartens on a sustained basis that can be used for important expenses and investments.
Experiencing solar power
Do not only produce solar power, but experience it. In order to visualise the energy having been produced with the sun, schools receive a free communication package consisting of a display panel, a data logger and the access to the Suntrol-Portal, thus enabling students to see how much power is generated on their school roof and how much CO2 is saved as a result.
Students can check the current output from their solar power system from the free display in their school yard, on a PC or via today's modern smartphones at any time, every day. In addition SolarWorld provides educational information and material for schools to incorporate into their respective lessons.
"With our support package, we are seeking to initiate measures to ensure a better future. Education and solar energy supply are an optimum combination in this respect. With our Solar Premium, we are offering schools the opportunity to use the feed-in-tariffs as an investment in the future"
Dr.-Ing. E. h. Frank Asbeck
CEO of SolarWorld AG
The bank book for your school
Any school in Germany that generates clean solar power on its roof will benefit from feed-in tariffs guaranteed for twenty years by the German Renewable Energies Act. This enables schools to gather revenue year after year which can be used to set up new investments and make important expenses.
Contribute to climate protection
Fossil fuel reserves are coming to an end. CO2 being produced as a result from such sources, damages the climate on a global basis. Therefore environmental and resource issues should be part of any school program to develop both theoretical and practical knowledge. Energy from the sun will be one of the core elements in the future and global energy supply. Free of charge the sun's power is sufficient enough to cover global power requirements 3,000 times over. Why not use it?

So what you're describing is a change from earlier "refurbs" that didn't have much more done to them other than re-boxing.VOS- in my post, I said that my first HR20 was new and all the others including the last one (-700CR) were refurbs. The new one was -700. Next came a -700R, then a -700C. All these were off the box they came in. On the current set, the label is -700, without an "S", and, a little added sticker that it is a refurb.
D* seems to have setup some sort of "repairing facility" that the earlier ones didn't go through.
Now I wonder if "R" are those made in Mexico & "CR" are those that were made in China?
The "S" was on the carton but not the unit as all of the -700s are silver, & I'd guess the "C" was for China also.

According to Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, three people were arrested and charged after deputies tracked an iPhone which had been taken from a vehicle parked at a church.
Travis Grissom, 20, Jack D. Murphy III, 20, and Sebastian Howard, 18, were charged with theft over $1,000, burglary of an auto, and theft under $500.
"David Williams reported his 2002 Ford Explorer Sport stolen to the Bradley County Sheriff's Office after discovering it was missing from Elkmont Baptist Church on Old Freewill Road. Williams had left his key and an iPhone in the vehicle," according to Gault.
Williams was reportedly attending services at the church when the burglary occurred.
Deputies traced the phone and located the missing vehicle.
Gault said the phone and vehicle were recovered and returned to Williams.
Gault added another vehicle parked at the church had also been burglarized and a small amount of cash had been taken.
Bond for the three suspects was set at $12,000 each.
All three remain in custody at the Bradley County Jail.
Grissom, Murphy and Howard are expected to appear in General Sessions Court Jan. 8.

This thread is intended to give people a place to post photos and/or talk about birds, critters, wildlife, fish, whatever - topics you might not want to start a whole thread on, but are still garden-related. You can see the range of possible topics in the previous threads: All of the threads in the Birds and other mobile features in the garden series prior to 2012 are now stored in the New England Garden Forum Gallery. See the top of the main page to switch between Discussions and Gallery. For 2012, see the links posted in Birds and other mobile features in the garden 2012 #7. I'll try to have these threads moved to the Gallery soon. I'll start out this new year's post with birds that are not usually seen in the beginning of January, but were here this morning (besides, I haven't seen any turkeys for a while). After a few really cold days and nights, the daytime temperature is above freezing and is expected to stay warm for a while. The unimpressive snow we had is melting, soon to be replaced by ice. The first surprise this morning was a flock of twenty, yes twenty, Red-winged Blackbirds. I'd been seeing one or two for a while, but certainly not twenty! They didn't stay for long - I don't know if they'll be back. The red-wings usually appear when spring is a little closer to being possible. I don't expect they'll be singing until the females show up, much later on. And next came a robin; not really unexpected since they do hang around all winter here and feast on berries, but people have a hard time believing that the First Robin of Spring is really the Last Robin of Winter that finally found a worm. The robins already stripped the available berries but water is also an attraction for them. I've started putting raisins by the birdbath to see if they'll keep coming. Claire |

Follow-Up Postings:
Twenty? Brilliant! There must 4 more nearby. How perfect. Yes, it does seem a bit early. My Blackbird file shows the first date of appearance here last year was 2-23-2012. " I've started putting raisins by the birdbath to see if they'll keep coming." Seriously? Is there a towel warmer by the bath? Little terry robes perhaps? No question that you are running the Ritz Carlton for birds. If my birds hear of this, I'll be out of business. |

I've never seen so many red wing blackbirds all at the same time! I'm enjoying watching the eastern bluebirds eating my suet. There are two males and one female that show up, often several times a day & usually together. My neighbor up the street sees them too. I lured them in by setting a terra cotta birdbath bowl on the ground under one of my hanging suet feeders to catch the crumbs that fall. Now they're regular customers. |
Jane: The first few years I paid attention, the blackbirds would arrive in a huge flock of red-wings, grackles, cowbirds and a few starlings, all at the same time. The last few years, though, the red-wings have showed up first, maybe a few weeks to a month ahead of the others (I'm too lazy to go check the PFW or eBird records, but the photo file backs this up). Not this early, though. I don't know how much of this is climate change and how much is my evolving bird food pantry - I certainly feed more and better now - but an ex-resident once mentioned how the blackbirds would arrive en masse but only stay a few days before moving on, probably having exhausted the local food supply. These are all males, maybe getting a jump start on establishing territory somewhere. I wonder when the females will come. gardenweed: I've never seen ANY bluebirds; it's probably just too woodsy here for them. That's a great idea of setting a suet crumb catcher under the feeders. I've noticed the juncoes feeding under suet feeders here. Claire |

Claire, it seems that my summer birds are wintering at your place! Twenty red-winged blackbirds (+ or - the four) is something I never see until June or so when they visit our swampy area. I love their calls; they sound like electronic whirrs to me. They and the robin(s) appear to be living it up at Claire's luxury spa and fine dining establishment, and who could blame them!? |
There's probably a bird friendly infrared flashing X over Claire's avian establishment visible from the air only. You're right, Sped, who could blame them. Not a feather on him, but it sure is mobile. Look what flew over my garden this morning. I've been ballooning, but can't imagine how chilly it was up there today. Very calm though, so it really was perfect. We don't see this often. Jane |
spedigrees: There could have four and twenty of your blackbirds here - they were still coming in when the count got to twenty but something scared the whole flock off before the last four got down. I haven't seen them yet today, although one red-wing was feeding with the blue jays. Jane: How wonderful to see a balloon! I wonder also, though, how long a hot air balloon can stay flying when it's so cold out. You might end up with a collapsed balloon in your yard. Claire |
This chap landed ever so briefly this morning on the frozen bacon grease (which nobody favors over the suet cake). First time I've noticed a sandy colored breast on a Nuthatch - usually I see sparkling white. Claire, are the Red breasted Nuthatches you see more colorful than this fellow? What do you think: regular or red breasted? Thanks, Jane |
It could be red-breasted - the females are paler than the males. It would be clearer if you could see the head. The Red-breasted Nuthatch has black and white stripes on the head. Maybe the frozen bacon grease is too salty? Claire |

Nice goldfinch photos Claire. I have tons of goldfinches on my thistle ball. I had never noticed how black and white their tails are until recently - now that I have binoculars. I think I've always focused on their vibrant yellow in the summer. Which you don't need binoculars to see! I've had some juncos feeding off the suet droppings. This guy is keeping my stone bench clean! |
Goldfinch yellow -- so the bright yellow on one male I'm seeing here is moulting last year's wardrobe? This is quite bright, but just on one bird. At first I thought it might be an indicator of a' too early' spring. Then, there are those that make me think, 'Where's Waldo". I'm glad I don't blend in with my food. Sometimes wearing it is bad enough. Jane |
The heated bird bath was gross, but before dumping the water for a good scrubbing, there was a sunflower seedling growing under the water. It was mobile because the water was in slight motion. Kinda neat in January, thanks to heated water. Jane (who is easily entertained) |
"...didn't you train a squirrel a while back to balance a feather on its nose?" I did, yes. The cast of critters is easy to work with, but their union is awful. Not the clearest shot, but yes, upon closer inspection, they're molting. The chap on top is the one that catches the eye, but the fellow on the bottom is perhaps ahead of him in the process. |
Jane - I love Waldo, your well-camouflaged song sparrow! The turkeys visited in the snow again today (they are pretty much daily visitors to the corn field at this time of year), first heading for the sheltered corner where pines keep some of the snow off the ground. |
and then they wandered down the field under the shelter of the pines along the edge until they got to where manure is stockpiled for next spring's planting, and spent time picking over that before heading across the field again. (I was playing around and decided to see if I could get a shot through binocs since we currently lack a telephoto lens.) |
Babs - I do most of my reading on my iPhone and often skim the pictures, coming back later to read. I thought you had posted a picture of a gorgeous full moon and I was amazed to see all the craters. Then I read the text! |
nhbab: I'm impressed that you could actually take a photograph through the binoculars! Just the logistics of holding both of them steady is boggling. I can picture the turkeys lurking under the pines - the turkeys here really hate cold and wet and you're in a much colder climate than I am. Claire |
nhbabs - That is neat. I've tried it, but needed a tripod or a 3rd arm to hold everything steady. Good for you. There is quite a following for 'digibinning' and you can get a fixture to put on your binocs to hold a small camera. Much like digiscoping, but less expensive. I've looked through a Swarovski scope with a small pocket camera affixed to it and it was incredible distance and clarity. So the next time I run into an extra few thousand dollars I have no need for, I'll surely get one. (read never) Hope you show us another digibinned (sp?) picture - really neat. Jane |
Here is a link that might be useful: Alpinebirds.com
All the times I try to capture a bird in flight, this morning I got a Junco mid-air with his wings folded. What are the chances? Jane |
Maybe the junco was levitating, not flying? Claire |
Levitation! Why didn't I think of that? He must have been tired of sitting on the aronia branch stuffing down nyjer. This is movement if you think molecularly: The common oxymoron, fire and ice with this morning's sunrise. Those red buds are spring on ice. Have to work on macro shots. |
Nothing as good as Jane's morning light photos: Snow last night, not a whole lot (3 inches tops), but birds take seriously anything on the ground that covers their food. I usually get between five and ten Blue Jays at a time, but early this morning I counted twenty-two BJ's - most in the wisteria with the overflow on the ground. Not the greatest photos in the early morning light but I loved seeing the jays looking like bright blue blossoms in the wisteria. Claire |

Well, I disagree. I think the BJs against the morning gold background is a very artistic picture and agree that they look like blossoms. I miss the BJs here. Looks like they all went to your house. Hope some return. Glad to see you're back in business, Claire. Jane |
Finally back for a visit. I love seeing everyone's birds. We have red polls again this year but this photo is from two years ago, taken from our kitchen window. Unless the sun hits their heads just right, you don't see their red caps. For some reason, we don't see many colorful males bu this one is in the center of the photo. He has a rosey breast that most of the others lack. |
Like NHbabs' turkeys, ours roost in the pines. The pines are on the west side of the field so they have a long walk to come to our bird feeders. This day they trooped down one by one. Sometimes only 4 will come to feed while the rest are stationed along the way, sometimes in small groups. Sometimes they run but they rarely fly. When they do, it's amazing to see. Their hearing is so sensitive that they can hear my camera click and that can scare them off. |
Claire - beautiful coloring. What a lovely sight to wake up to - glad you shared the pictures. Defrost - so many Redpolls! I maybe see 4-5 at a time when it's frigid. Nice coloring against the snow. The march of the turkeys is wonderful to see. |
defrost49: I love the turkey picture - it's a great shot of the landscape and shows the turkeys behaving absolutely typically turkey-like as they walk wherever (what, me fly? when I can walk?). Nice to see the redpolls too. I haven't had any yet this year but there's still hope. Claire |
I don't think we had any red polls last year. I would like to have a gaudy cardinal or two but we only get a very rare and very brief visit. Apparently our feeders aren't up to snuff. The black oil seed is in a feeder that should provide a good perch. Any advice from people who are popular with cardinals? We aren't seeing many goldfinches although sometimes we miss visitors that come when we aren't looking out the window. |
Cardinals here hate to perch on tube feeders, although they'll sometimes use the plastic perches that stick onto the round perches. They like the hopper feeder with the flat platform. Granted, I put lots of seed on the ground so the cardinals aren't desperate. One thing they might be important - I see cardinals mostly very early in the morning or very late in the afternoon, when they feed with the native sparrows. Could you just be missing them? Claire |
This may not look like much of an event, but there are still 9 Mourning Doves in the same position that they took more than 2 hours ago. This is a very tight community. I can see them from my window as I write this and for them it may be just a port in the storm, but for me, their position in that heritage birch once again solidifies my reasons for gardening and planting more trees: It's my cathedral and these doves are the gifts that decorate my effort. They are special. Jane |
Very lovely, Jane. It's a reminder of why doves are so often a symbol of peace. Claire |

Claire, I feel the same way about live food for some feathered guests, but that Cooper's is magnificent. You really got him good! Really nice shots -- all of them. There was a grey ring last week at one of my feeders; always glad if I don't see the action. |
Wonderful photos of the Cooper's hawk! We lost a bird to a hawk a few weeks ago. By the time my husband noticed the hawk on the walkway to the kitchen door, there was nothing but a pile of feathers and a few bites left. I'm not sure what we lost but I was afraid for awhile that it was one of the woodpeckers. I have seen a crow take a live mouse or similar during winter. I knew they scavenged but didn't think they would take something alive and, literally, kicking. Jane, the doves are lovely. Another great photo. I agree, it is good to plant trees and shrubs. The maples that now holds some of our feeders is across the driveway from our house. My husband transplanted the sapling there back in the early 70s when we lived here briefly. The turkey parade photo shows a young crab I planted. I have another small berry bearing crab in another part of the yard. We have to move the viburnum, I think the squirrels got all the berries this year but last year I saw a family of bluebirds feasting on the spreading cotoneaster berries next to it. Claire, I think we need to add another type of feeder. The one I thought the cardinals would like is shown in the photo. The perches might not be roomy enough. |
I haven't posted turkey pics for a while, mostly because they haven't given me some good photo ops. Today, though, there was a cold northwest wind in the front yard and the turkeys sensibly moved to the back yard which is protected by the house. Not to mention chairs to sit on. Claire |
Ah, the Plymouth turkeys are posing again. This may be the first time this thread has been without the resort turkeys for a month. Glad they're back. What a life they have. No turkeys here, but the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker did let his belly show. Photo directly out of camera - no touching, so the yellow you see is as pale as it is. Very much like the Red-bellied Woodpecker, some have just a smidgen of red. |
I had just posted the above, when the RB arrived to show his tummy. This seems a bit heavier streak than some others. Jane (who is really walking away this time) |

Defrost, I just love your photo of the march of the turkeys! That must be a sight to see from your window! And Claire, it's almost hard to think of your turkeys as wild birds; they look so at home on your lawn and lawn furniture. The photos of the Cooper's hawk are great. You actually could feed him fresh fish fillets from the supermarket, although your bird food expenditures would rise considerably. Bald eagles and owls will swoop down and feast on fresh, but dead fish, so I would assume hawks would do the same. I tossed freshly caught and gutted fish to a bald eagle over in NY state once and the same with a nesting owl just after dark here in Vermont. I spoke with a fish and game employee about the eagle and she wasn't a bit surprised. She said "Eagles are opportunists." So apparently dinner for a bird of prey need not be living, although they are great hunters, and it often is. |
I love that sapsucker, Jane "Doesn't everybody eat hanging upside-down?" I've still never seen one here. The Red-belly belly is really bright, usually I see a 'Pale-belly with a touch of very faint pink'. spedigrees: I think I'll pass on buying "fresh fish fillets from the supermarket" for the hawks. I'd probably just end up feeding the neighborhood cats while the hawks still terrorized the yard birds. And my bird food budget would explode! Claire |
Beyond the great photo content and composition, one aspect of this thread I have enjoyed has been the overall subtlety of the colors, mostly browns whites and greys with brief punctuations of color from feathers, beaks, bright yellow corn, buds or the manmade colors of feeders. Contrasts of light levels and color contribute also. This is so different from the more vivid colors of breeding plumage birds and flowers that show up during the warm weather. |
I, too, love these beautiful winter shots with the muted colors because now the all birds become the 'foliage' in the garden. Claire, the Cooper's Hawk and the Blue Jays are magnificent! Jane, after seeing the wonderful view you have outside your office window, I can appreciate even more your photographic skills. That shot of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is truly special. I haven't been to this thread in a while---- there are many recent photos I'm saving for desktops. The photos I'm including were taken by my DH who is better with my new camera than I. Two days ago I was looking out the bedroom window and spotted something? --- maybe a big log caught in the weeds? Nope! It was a Heron of some kind --- Great Blue? Can't tell from my bird identification book. I think it's time to buy a better one. Any suggestions? A view from our back deck. |
I'm not a heron expert, but it looks to me like a Great Blue Heron with its neck scrunched up. If you were asking for suggestions for bird identification, there's a thread on the Bird Watching Forum on Good field Guides for Birding. I also like the Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Site. Claire |
Thanks, Claire. I'll check out both sources. Yes, his neck was scrunched up as we caught him preening or maybe settling down for a nap. Molie |
Hi Molie, ahh...more water envy. Great pictures of a great bird! My suggestions for bird guides: In paperback, I like 'The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America' which Claire recommended to me a few years ago. I like Sibley's very much because it shows drawings of birds with their changing plumage at various stages of development. That one feature of Sibley's Guide has helped me often. (but I still confuse little brown birds) When out in the field looking for eagles, ospreys and everything else the Connecticut River offers, I bring my iPod Touch because it fits in a shirt pocket and I loaded it with two apps from the iTunes Store - 'iBird North' and 'The Ultimate Audubon New England Field Guide'. If you wanted one app for your iPhone for the sake of portability, I suggest the Audubon NE Guide because it offers birds, mammals, fish, plants,butterflies, spiders & insects, wildflowers, trees, seashells, and the natural history of New England. Plus, it has multiple voices of most birds and animals,their ranges, etc. It is the most complete guide I've seen, and the pictures and sounds are crystal clear throughout each category. The iTunes App Store lists it as"Audubon Nature New England", if you're interested. "5 Top Bird Guides for iPhone" Jane |
Thanks, Janeďż˝ I'll check this link for sure! Molie |
Since this thread has hit 50 posts it's probably getting slow to load, so I'll start a new one. Claire |

Thanks to the unprecedented efforts of craigslist users and other concerned citizens this week, movement on PIPA and SOPA has been indefinitely postponed! Word has it that Congress had never before received so many calls and emails regarding any issue whatsoever. Bravo!
"This is altogether a new effect," said former Senator Chris Dodd, now head of MPAA and key PIPA/SOPA promoter, comparing the online movement to the Arab Spring. He had not seen in his 40 years in politics "an effort that was moving with this degree of support change this dramatically."
Ron Paul (R-TX), PIPA applauded the Internet Blackout, saying "Sometimes you need a two-by-four to get them to listen." We're happy to report that craigslist users logged over 30,000 40,000! phone calls two-by-fours to Members of Congress Wednesday, and they did not go unnoticed. :-)
During the blackout, Team CoCo provided craigslist blackout ad service and part II of same.
PIPA and SOPA will likely return, and both are so deeply flawed they must die entirely, so the fight is not over.
As of end of day Thursday, and before the postponement announcements, 19 Senators had dropped their support for PIPA, at least 6 of whom had been co-sponsors of the bill (!) Check it out on PIPA Roll Call.
Californians please note: among the remaining PIPA co-sponsors are craigslist's and the SF Bay Area's own Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) 202-224-3841, and SoCal's Barbara Boxer (D-CA) 202-224-3553
Corporate supporters of Senate 968 (PIPA) and HR 3261 (SOPA) demand the ability to take down any web site (including craigslist, Wikipedia, or Google) that hurts their profits -- without prior judicial oversight or due process -- in the name of combating "online piracy."
PIPA and SOPA authors and supporters insist they'd only go after foreign piracy sites, but Internet Engineers understand this is an attempt to impose "Big Brother" controls on our Internet, complete with DNS hijacking and censoring search results. Incredibly, many Congress Members favor this idea.
<RANT>Try to imagine jack-booted thugs throttling free speech, poisoning the Internet (greatest of American inventions, the very pillar of modern democracy), and devastating one of the our most successful industries. Totalitarian, anti-American, massively-job-killing nonsense.</RANT>
Tell Congress you OPPOSE Senate 968 "Protect IP Act" (PIPA) and H.R. 3261 "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA):
Supporters of PIPA and SOPA: RIAA, MPAA, News Corp, TimeWarner, Walmart, Nike, Tiffany, Chanel, Rolex, Sony, Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren, VISA, Mastercard, Comcast, ABC, Dow Chemical, Monster Cable, Teamsters, Rupert Murdoch, Lamar Smith (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI)
Opponents of PIPA and SOPA: Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, eBay, AOL, Mozilla, Reddit, Tumblr, Etsy, Zynga, EFF, ACLU, Human Rights Watch, Darrell Issa (R-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Ron Paul (R-TX)
Where does your Member of Congress stand on PIPA and SOPA? (Project SOPA Opera)
PIPA and SOPA Are Too Dangerous To Revise, They Must Be Killed Entirely
Congress needs to hear from you, or these dangerous bills will pass - they have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from corporations experts say are attempting to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models at the expense of the very fabric of the Internet -- recklessly unleashing a tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a Pandora's jar of "chilling effects" and other unintended (or perhaps intended?) consequences.
For example, in a post about Monster Cable lobbying for PIPA, Techdirt points out Monster has blacklisted craigslist as a "rogue site" -- resale of stereo cables by CL users has apparently cut into Monster's profits. (reddit).
There is still time to be heard. Congress is starting to backpedal on this job-killing, anti-American nonsense, and the Obama administration has weighed in against these bills as drafted, but SOPA/PIPA cannot be fixed or revised -- they must be killed altogether.
Rep Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Sen Ron Wyden (D-OR) are championing an alternative to SOPA/PIPA called Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act (OPEN) that addresses foreign sites dedicated to piracy, without disrupting basic Internet protocols, or threatening mainstream US sites like craigslist.
Tim O'Reilly, a publisher who is himself subject to piracy, asks whether piracy is even a problem, and whether there is even a legitimate need for any of these bills.

Exhibit: In Her Father's Eyes
Born the same year as Anne Frank, a Czechoslovakian girl named Kitty Weichherz and her parents were deported to Auschwitz in 1942. Thirteen year-old Kitty and her immediate family did not survive, but a detailed and loving diary kept by Kitty's father remained safe with her aunt. Kitty's story provides a powerful and poignant document of daily life in Europe on the eve of Hitler's Final Solution and the basis of In Her Father's Eyes.
This exhibit is on loan from Kennesaw State University and is available for viewing during regular library hours.

What should you look for in a Caribbean yacht charter package? Well first off, let me be the first to say – excellent choice of destinations for your vacation. The Caribbean is beautiful and a locale you won't soon forget.
Although there are many things to do in the Caribbean, chartering a yacht is right up there at the top of the list. Yachts can be chartered for a variety of reason.
Some of those being…
- a family getaway
- for a romantic honeymoon
- an amazing kitesurfing trip
- to go fishing with friends
- or just to relax
Deciding on the proper yacht for your trip will be based on several factors. One of those being the reason for your trip – as listed above.
Another factor that will play in to the type of yacht will be the number of people in your party. Obviously you'll want a yacht that will be comfortable for everyone aboard. You can do a search of available yachts based on a variety of factors using this yacht search engine.
You'll also want to decide if you would like a crewed charter – with the crew taking care of all your needs. Of course this will be more expensive, so it will depend on the budget you had in mind for your trip.
There are plenty of great places to research Caribbean yacht charters, so make sure you do that. Also be sure to ask around before booking your vacation. With the right planning, things will go smoother and you'll make your Caribbean dream vacation a reality.

Tobacco Settlement One Year Old Today
Miller: "The bad news is that Iowa has had 5,000 tobacco-related deaths in one year, and 12,000 kids took up smoking. The good news is that tobacco money is arriving and solutions are available to solve this problem."
Des Moines--
Attorney General Tom Miller noted that today marks the one-year anniversary of the settlement between the tobacco industry and states throughout the nation. On November 23, 1998, the industry agreed to pay 46 states over $200 billion and to sharply change many of its practices.
"The bad news is that Iowa has had about 5,000 tobacco-related deaths since the settlement took effect," Miller said, citing estimates by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
"Twelve thousand Iowa kids have taken up smoking in one year," Miller added. "We have to solve this problem."
Iowa is slated to receive almost $2 billion under the settlement in payments of about $60-70 million per year until 2025, and at similar rates indefinitely after that. Iowa's first payment of $20.9 million is slated to arrive in early December, and another $55 million will arrive early next year. Miller has asked the Legislature to earmark $20.5 million of the first $76 million for a comprehensive program to reduce tobacco addiction, disease and death - especially among children.
"The good news is that the money is arriving now and solutions are working to reduce youth smoking and addiction," Miller said. He noted that cigarette consumption has dropped significantly in California, Massachusetts, and Oregon, states that already have implemented comprehensive programs. Miller said a wide-ranging campaign in Iowa could reduce the smoking rate from over 23% to under 20%, saving thousands of lives and resulting in huge savings to taxpayers.
Miller also noted that the settlement last year already has dramatically changed practices by the tobacco industry: Cartoon characters are prohibited. Billboards are prohibited - and in many places have been replaced by pro-health messages. Brand-name merchandise is prohibited (hats, t-shirts, backpacks, jackets, etc.) Free samples are sharply restricted to places where no kids are present. Hi-visibility tobacco sponsorships are curtailed for events such as concerts and sports teams. Payments for tobacco placement is banned for movies, TV shows, videos, etc. The industry's Tobacco Institute and Council for Tobacco Research have been dissolved. The industry has begun making billions of dollars in payments to the States.
"We've come a long way in a year," Miller said. "We need to keep moving forward to keep kids off cigarettes and reduce the extraordinary suffering and cost of tobacco."

14th International sacred music festival concert
The world premiere of Petera Vahi's opus "Mary Magdalene's Gospel" will take place at this concert.
Petera Vahi is one of Estonian music's most original personalities, a Buddhist, and owner of a large collection of Eastern traditional musical instruments. Infatuated with the synthesis of various genres in his music, he uses electronics widely in his latest works. As opposed to traditional passion, this composition is not about the suffering of Jesus Christ, but reflects Jesus' meditations, philosophy, as well as the notes of the apostles – it is dedicated to one of the most secret and least known of the New Testament's gospels – the Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
The work has been created in the Coptic language, which was spoken in Egypt until the 16th century. It's possible that this may be the first musical work developed in the Coptic language in the world.
Sevara Nazarkhan, who will play Mary Magdalene, is one of the best known contemporary singers from Uzbekistan, having received international recognition through her regular collaboration with Peter Gabriel.
Concert participants: The State Choir "Latvija", Rīga Dom Cathedral Boys Choir, Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, Sevara Nazarkhan - Mary Magdalene, soprano (Uzbekistan), Priit Volmer - Jesus Christ, bass (Estonia), Tonis Magi - narrator (Estonia), conductor Risto Joost (Estonia).
