Saving Walt and Roy Disney's Birthplace home is important for generations to come; let's restore, Landmark, and preserve it forever.
About this project
Stay tuned for news about our continued fundraising efforts! Please click here!
In a quiet residential neighborhood just outside of downtown Chicago, IL, stands a modest family home on the corner of Tripp Avenue and Palmer Street. This house was designed and built by Flora and Elias Disney, Walt and Roy Disney's mother and father. Both Walt and Roy were born in this home and lived there until Walt was four and Roy was twelve years old.
Over the last century, the home has changed hands several times and has been added to and altered significantly. These "renovations" have almost completely covered up the authentic details of the house.
We have already lost too many buildings that were an incredibly important part of Walt Disney's history.
And that is why we have purchased this house and will restore it to its original state, honoring and preserving the home for generations to come.
Our project is about more than just a restoration. It is also an opportunity to research this period of the Disney family history which has sparked a larger vision for the home beyond the restoration.
Each day, we gain new insights into how and why Walt and Roy became the men they were. We are learning how their childhood, family and parents impacted their lives and laid a foundation that nurtured collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
With our team of project advisors, we are formalizing strategies on how we can empower today's families to nurture and raise the creative thinkers of tomorrow.
Our dream is that The Walt Disney Birthplace becomes a portal to new approaches in early childhood development and helps to inspire future Walts and Roys.
A Very Brief History Of The House
A carpenter with a growing family, Elias Disney decided to build a home and put down roots in Chicago. He purchased property on the southwest corner of Tripp Avenue on October 31, 1891.
On November 23, 1892, Elias obtained a permit to build a two-story, 18 x 28 foot wood cottage for $800.
Flora, Elias' wife, drew up the architectural plans and Elias built the house. In early 1893, the Disney family settled into their new home with their two sons: Herbert and Raymond. Shortly thereafter, their third son, Roy, was born on June 24, 1893.
Eight years later, Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901, on the second floor.
And two years after that, on December 6, 1903, the Disneys welcomed their fifth child and first daughter, Ruth.
On February 10, 1906, Elias sold the property to Walter Chamberlain, moving his family to Marceline, Missouri.
In 1991, Chicago attempted to designate the property as a historical landmark, but the owner fought the designation and won, putting the home at risk of demolition.
Today: After years of neglect, the home is purchased with the intent to restore it to its 1901 state. The new owners are working with the City to protect the home forever.
T-SHIRT ADD-ON! (Updated Jan. 2, 2014)
By popular demand, we are making our Collectible T-Shirt (see below) available as an Add-On to any pledge level that does not include it, for an additional $40.00! (Currently, the only levels that do include the shirt reward are the $75 (FOREMAN), $5,000 (ARCHITECT) and $10,000 (RESIDENT) levels.)
Every backer will have our deepest gratitude, because this restoration is meant to be a collaboration and can only happen with your support. Along with our gratitude, every backer will have their name inscribed in the special leather-bound "Restoration Dream Team Charter Member" book, which will be a permanent addition to the house.
Every backer at the $5 level and above will also receive a "Charter Member of the Walt Disney Birthplace Preservation Project" Certificate.
For $5, $10 and $25 level backers, the Certificate will be a high-resolution digital image suitable for desktop publishing reproduction. For the $33 level and above, we will include a printed copy of the certificate with your additional backer rewards.

Here's a brief rundown of our backer levels and their rewards:

The "Digital Package" includes everything in the "Digital Architectural Bundle" PLUS the Digital Documentary Download.
The home will be "A Living Source of Joy and Inspiration" and will promote the importance of family to nurture creativity, collaboration and innovation in children.
This house is where the Disney story truly begins.
An important facet of this project is to foster ongoing discoveries about the environment and early family life that created these two remarkable individuals.
An in-depth study into Walt and Roy's early upbringing will generate timeless, beneficial insights for today's families and beyond:
Helping families to nurture creativity
Helping families to embrace their children's passions
Helping families to "live their values"
Dina Benadon, Project Director, Property Owner
Born and raised in Los Angeles, where her father founded and built what became one of Hollywood's first video post-production companies, Dina grew up at his side, gaining first-hand insights into the world of film production.
Dina started her own career at an emerging computer animation company in the early 90s. Encouraged by digital artists and the excitement of new technologies, Dina segued into the Theme Park division where she found herself immersed in the creation of cutting-edge attractions.
There, she met fellow enthusiast Brent Young and in 1997, followed in her father's footsteps by launching Super 78, their own animation company. Super 78 is a content developer and producer of specialty movies and attractions for theme park rides, family experiences, museums and science centers. She and Brent (now her husband too) live and work in Silverlake and have a three year old son, Truman.
Dina has earned nominations and awards and is an active Board member for the Themed Entertainment Association and the Producers Guild of America- New Media Council, helping to grow membership and foster new talent in both organizations.
Brent Young, Project Director, Property Owner
A native of Chicago himself, Brent moved to Los Angeles in the early 90s, where he worked as an assistant film editor in a growing computer animation company that produced animated movies for theme park attractions.
In 1997, he launched a production company with fellow themed attraction producer, Dina Benadon, whom he later married. Together, they would grow Super 78, their animation studio, into one of the most well-known media production and creative companies in the theme park industry, receiving numerous industry awards and recognition.
Brent is a director, musician and, most passionately, a theme park aficionado who co-hosts "The Season Pass," a themed entertainment industry-focused iTunes show (now in its sixth year and more popular than ever).
He and his wife live and work in Silverlake, California with their three year old son - around the corner from where Walt and Roy made Mickey Mouse and Snow White and The Seven Dwarves in 1937.
Charles Pipal, AIA - Preservation Architect
Charles Pipal is a practicing architect and professor in the Historic Preservation Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Landscape Architecture and a Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a concentration in historic preservation.
He is a past director of Landmarks Illinois, where he served as chair of the Fund and Easement Committee and currently serves as the Chair of the Riverside Preservation Commission and Vice President of the Pleasant Home Foundation.
Professor Pipal's particular professional and academic focus has been on the physical documentation and rehabilitation of historic resources.
Tim Samuelson - The Cultural Historian For The City Of Chicago
Tim Samuelson has been the city's cultural historian for the past ten years, functioning as a one-man office of the Department of Cultural Affairs. His job is that of a spokesperson, consultant, historian and storyteller, a wide-ranging position that requires him "to tell the spirit and the history of Chicago" through exhibits, public programs, and collaboration with other cultural institutions, museums, and governmental agencies.
He answers questions, and he does his best to tell the story: what Chicago "is," and why it is the way that it is. The city's buildings are a part of that story, though his job and his interests pull him in every direction.
People who know him and/or have worked with him in the past commonly describe his breadth of knowledge as "encyclopedic."
Timothy Barton - Zoning and Historic Preservation Consultant
A Chicago native, Timothy Barton is a land use consultant specializing in historic preservation projects. An expert on Chicago history and architecture, he is the former Research Director for the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, a position he held for 11 years, where his work resulted in the landmarking of dozens of properties. These are just a few of the local landmark research projects Timothy oversaw:
• St. James Episcopal Cathedral: 675 N. Wabash Avenue
• Historic Michigan Boulevard District
• Terra Cotta Row: 1048, 1054, 1057 and 1059 W. Oakdale Ave.
• Chicago and North Western Railway Terminal
He is also an expert in local zoning issues and protocol, with a decade's experience working at the Chicago Department of Planning and Zoning. Finally, Tim also works as a freelance local area researcher through the Chicago History Museum.

In 1981, Waynn became the Director of the Cerritos Library, a position he held for the next 25 years. When the library began planning for a major expansion at the turn of the new millennium, Waynn envisioned and created what would become the first "Experience Library."
Incorporating his insights from working in retail, his careful study of Disney storytelling through immersive environments, and his considerations of "…human nature, Fortune 500 company marketing approaches, trends in the entertainment industry…" and much more, Waynn redefined what a "library" could be.
With state-of-the-art technology, a wide variety of themed spaces, and a complete overhaul of standard library services, the new facility was an instant and enormous success when it debuted on March 16, 2002. It went on to win a prestigious THEA Award in 2003, among many others.

Our Budget For The Project
The Walt Disney Birthplace is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with The Walt Disney Company, Disney Enterprises, Inc., or any of its subsidiaries or its affiliates. Reference to Walt Disney and their trademarks is used purely for historical reference and informational purposes.
Risks and challenges
With our team of restoration experts and architects in place, and our project budget prepared, we are confident that we are ready to break ground on the restoration, as soon as the funds are in place.
As with any construction/restoration undertaking, there can be unforeseen challenges. First and foremost, weather conditions in the midwest will almost certainly have some impact. But as most of the work will be taking place indoors, we don't feel that winter weather will create enormous setbacks.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
We've worked in the theme park and animation industries for more than 20 years and we know a lot of talented and experienced individuals who are interested in supporting us.
We have the skills, connections, community outreach – and most important, the passion – to do it right.
Roy Patrick Disney, Roy O. Disney's grandson and Walt's great nephew, has given us his support and is very excited about the project. This is what he said about the project:
"On behalf of the Disney family, we are so pleased to see Walt Disney's historic birthplace and family home being restored to its humble origins in the City of Chicago. The outpouring of support and excitement we've seen from both city officials and Disney fans alike has been simply wonderful, and this is truly a fitting way to honor both Walt and Roy O. Disney, the pioneering brothers who forever changed the face of family entertainment, and, of course, will forever be two of Chicago's most prominent native sons."
The Disney Company is not involved at this point, but we would welcome their participation.
Our most pressing goal is to save and restore the home and earn it Landmark status. Immediately after completing the landmark designation and restoration, it will remain a private residence. We are still formulating the specifics of our longer-term plans.
Our dream is to turn the property into something really special: an experience that uses media projections, soundscapes, and other immersive technology to allow guests to step back in time and be right there with young Walt, Roy and the whole Disney family.
But we can't move forward with those bigger plans unless we can get through this first, most important phase.
Upon the completion of the restoration, the only way to gain access to the interior of the home will be through our group tours, private events and our special one-night sleepovers, which will only be available to our Backers at specific pledge levels.
We will not be living in the house during the renovation process as we are permanent residents of Los Angeles, California. But Brent is from Chicago, so we visit often and we will be traveling frequently to the site during construction. And will be in daily contact with our restoration team, who are all Chicago residents. We have the utmost confidence that the restoration, led by Charles Pipal, the project's preservation architect, will be a complete success, once we begin.
After the renovation, there will be a local caretaker to assist us in the maintenance and security of the home.
We hope that the restoration and celebration of this home will be a source of inspiration for both the Hermosa community and the entire world.
We have been asked if we ever considered moving the restored home to another location – that option was never up for discussion. We want to help tell this first chapter in the Disney Family story as accurately as possible and the Hermosa neighborhood is an integral part of that story. Part of our vision for the project is that today's Hermosa community, both children and adults, will be able to experience the home and feel a sense of pride that the seeds of one of the world's greatest creative media empires were planted right there.
We would love to have a special event just for the local community, a "housewarming party" for the neighborhood!
We, Dina and Brent, are the legal owners of the house and will remain so for the immediate future.
As soon as we successfully complete this campaign, the earnest work of the restoration can begin. We are targeting December 5th, 2014 for the "Grand Reopening," so we want to start the restoration as soon as possible.

The locator is also used when the plat books are obviously inaccurate. The line is located to the outfall, measured, and the information is passed to the engineering department and incorporated into the city's GIS and new editions of the plat books.
The locator has a clear interface and few controls. Five minutes of instruction from the product sales representative was enough to get started.
Ten employees are trained to keep track of the locator, make sure it's working properly, and monitor its battery. "Battery life is pretty good, and the locator will last all day, but I like to remove the batteries when we're not using the sonde to make sure it's charged when we need it."
To complement the sonde system, Winchester also bought a GA-92XT extendable magnetic locator from Schonstedt. "Another problem with the plat book," he says, "is that there are a lot of buried manholes, and the book isn't accurate enough for easy location. So we use the magnetic locator, which pinpoints the manhole, and gives us a good idea of how big and how deep it is. When the locator meter peaks, we know we're right over it."
Utility location is just a small part of the work done by water and wastewater agencies. But it's often vexing, and if it's done wrong the costs and lost time can be expensive. By finding the right technology, the Kokomo Wastewater Department also found a way to do this critical task with greater speed, accuracy, and assurance.

I recently got the Optimus S off of Ebay. It didn't come with a battery, so I bought a "receritifed" battery too on Ebay. Everything was working fine, until I kept getting low disk space warnings. So I had Titainium Backup forcfully move all the apps to the SD card. (Yes I was rooted) I still was getting low disk space (because I kept downloading apps) so I decided to wipe it and start over. I went into settings, and clicked the button to restore to factory settings. I waited for it to turn off. Then it rebooted and it was just a black screen, so I left it there for about 5 mins. Then I pulled the battery....So now what can I do to fix it? I did use Titanium Backup to remove CarrierIQ and Sprint ID off the phone, and the stock email app, and that is it... Thanks in advance!
I know that Sprint has some sort of recovery menu that can be accessed by holding volume up, home, and power as the phone starts. Many users (myself included) replace this with a custom menu that's capable of installing custom ROMs, so I don't know what the stock one looks like (or if it even works the same way), but it could certainly be worth trying.

The New England-based burrito chain Boloco has been selling a yogurt and Nutella milkshake for fourteen years without a problem. All that came to an end last week, however, when the Italian manufacturer Ferraro sent Boloco chief executive John Pepper a warning letter. "BREAKING ... ," Pepper tweeted, "After 14 yrs as their faithful advocate, Nutella's lawyers have sent us an immediate cease & desist on the use of their name."
The Citizen Media Law Project reports (via Techdirt) the central issue is how the shake, made with Nutella, skim milk, and frozen yogurt, is prepared. Pepper says that the brand is cool with him using their product at his restaurants, it's just that they "don't endorse the use of Nutella or the Nutella brand in frozen beverages." Perhaps the company is trying to avoid another class-action lawsuit filed by people who think Nutella is good for you.
The Citizen Media Law Project points out that because the Boloco restaurants don't say they have an affiliation with Nutella, the brand's claim might not hold up in court. At this time, negotiations between the two parties seem to have stalled, and the milkshakes may be renamed, or will be made with an altogether different chocolate-hazelnut spread. Either way, the milkshakes won't stop.

David Cameron and Nick Clegg will today make a secret visit to a 'fertitlity unit' where the very first 'Test Tube Prime Minister' will be cloned and grown.
"It's very exciting," said both Clegg and Cameron simultaneously. "We have to go in a room with some magazines, and 'do it' into the same test tube, at the same time. Then, the contents of the tube will be mixed and whisked, a bit like a cake mix, and the 'sperm cake' will be put in the 'oven' - a female neutral or centre-right 'vessel' - probably a childless lesbian - where the first ever cloned Prime Minister will be raised, again, a bit like a cake."
But the project is controversial, and a split seems to be evolving in the coalition over the baby's name. Tories are going for Cameron Clegg, whereas Lib-Dems think it should be Clegg Cameron.
"We're going to wait to see if it's a boy or a girl," said the leaders. "It's so exciting! And of course, it's exciting for the future of our country too."

Description | The development objective of this highly innovative pilot project is to improve eco-systems functioning of degraded pasture lands in Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, through the development of more intensive silvopastoral systems that provide global environmental services and local socio economic benefits. As such, the project aims to demonstrate and measure, at farm and community level, the benefits of an integrated ecosystems approach to the improvement of degraded pasture lands in terms of: (a) local environmental benefits through reduction in erosion and improvement in soil and water quality with increased production, income and employment in rural areas; (b) global environmental benefits, through improved biodiversity and carbon sequestration services: (c) initial experiences in the management of incentives required to produce global environmental benefits; and (d) the development of comprehensive guidelines for sector and environmental policies in terms of land use, environmental services and socio-economic development provided by the introduction of silvopastoral systems to rehabilitate degraded pastures. |
Implementation Status | Project implementation is satisfactory. More that 4,000 hectares are in the process of changing land use from degraded pastures to more sustainable silvopastoral systems. Surveys are being undertaken, in the Colombia and Nicaragua sites, to examine in greater depth the poverty impacts of the project, including the extent to which the project is increasing the income of the poor and the extent to which constraints might be preventing the poor from participating. A procurement officer was hired and procurement training completed in the 3 countries. Disbursement rate is in line with what was planned in all components with the exception of component 3 (Env. Services Fund); funds will be reallocated to component. |

I don't think a large chunk of the BC/SC/ST communities in India is literate enough to know what China is, forget falling for anti-China propaganda.
Do people need economist like you. Better see how the big guys do instead of complaining Indian and Chinese are not consumers. They go where the money is!!
There is a link for your perusal why the Indian Natco produced Geftinat is legal to produce in India but illegal to sell in China. So must be story of others because of how the exclusive patents by Astra Zeneca have been done in most countries around the world. The link is this - http://www.docstoc.com/docs/51748699/Indian-version-of-Iressa-Iressa-GEF...
Patents are a whole lot different world, accusing any country of flouting them while west is not shouting from the rooftop takes some courage. You better back it up.
Unlike US/EU, Indian/Chinese regime does NOT want their citizens to prosper.
1,347,350,000 Chinese have ONLY $2 per head worth cash/coins in circulation.
1,210,193,422 Indians have ONLY $5 per head worth of cash/coins in circulation.
127,610,000 Japanese have $564,219 per head worth of cash/coins in circulation.
313,802,000 Americans have $3534 per head worth of cash/coins in circulation.
501,259,840 Europeans have $1400 per head worth of cash/coins in circulation.
143,100,000 Russians have $27 per head worth of cash/coins in circulation.
62,262,000 British have $819 per head worth of cash/coins in circulation.
Sad to see that most comments are about people trying to claim which country is better than the other rather than how both countries can grow together which was the underlying thesis of the article itself.
Why would they "criticize China" when the Economist and other crony whites and their lapdogs are already going all-out demonizing China and everything Chinese?
China is by far the most self-critical nation in the world, and the most self-critical civilization. India and the West are boastful and hubristic. Though they will often feign nobler qualities such as introspection, the results of their true attitudes are readily apparent. Anyone who has even 10 minutes of experience with a representative sample of any of these groups will instantly decide that the Chinese are more humble or is in a sort of pseudo-psychopathic denial.
Quite right the Chinese seems to be counting the chickens before the eggs hatched gratifying themselves as if they have succeeded. Virtually forgotten that they are still miles behind those in front. Just like they thought their smart softpower was working until proven otherwise in their own backyard! The same is likely to happen in their economic and political undertakings. To be fair India is not really helping themselves. It is really in their own hands that they solve their disputes with China and leverage on China's resources to move a gear up. What has US got to do with a wealtheir or poorer India? Nothing. Which means India has to look after her own future. If US is unwilling to accept today's China, US will also not accept a much improved future India and democracy has nothing to do with it.
The story is a little tilted towards China, but India itself is to be blamed for it. China began so called economic reforms in 1970s, but the pace with which it has grown its influence in the region is splendid.
India, on the other hand, while can rightly argue that it started only very recently, has never even tried to achieve the discipline in policy making and economic activity that is required to scale up.
The rising trade deficit as pointed out in this story is a result of India's dependence on behemoths like China. It is India that needs to keep an eye on every move China makes, be it on improving its manufacturing processes, scale of production, rising military power, developing defence capabilities, and so on. While for China, India is a neighbouring and growing MARKET at best. It is India, who has to be on a lookout for what the big brother is up to.
The sheer geographical size of the two countries is no match (though I am not sure if that is a factor in comparing the economic capabilities of any nation). Also, I assume the decision making in China is much faster due to its system of governance, while the 'democracy' - like the one in India - tends to slow down the things a little. However, both these factors cannot be an excuse for extremely slow pace of economic activity that India has put up.
Last two decades were an opportunity for Asian nations to increase their influence across the globe. China grabbed the opportunity, while India appears to have missed the bus.
But it is yet not too late for India. China is headed for some economic slowdown (if Ruchir Sharma is to be believed). It's high time India developed capabilities - manufacturing, skills, sports - that prompt its neighbour also to keep a watch on its movements, and not just vice versa.
At the Nathula Pass India-Chinese border Trade post, the stark differences between Indian and Chinese way of life are apparent, in some way at least.
Indian side is teeming with hundreds of vehicles and thousands of noisy tourists.
But there is not even single tourist on the Chinese side.
Bewildered young Chinese soldiers are confused and bored, perhaps for amusement look to the Indian side through binoculars.
Roads on the Indian side are bad but on other side, they look fine, fit for columns of tanks and heavy armored vehicles to roll on.
There are significant tangible and intangible differences and signals for an observer to see and mull over.
And one would have a perceptive depending on his or her world view.
An Investor with cash and plan can go to Greater China and set up factory and start exporting within few months.
He..He..He... An investor who go to India first bribe the politicians and officials from the capital to village level to get approval for his project.
Alas when he completed the production site he will realise that there are no roads..no water supply and electricity so again he has to bribe politicians and officials to get these.
Which is the best?
Ofcourse so called Indian can be a super power on internet and cinema....where is this so called India before the arrival of British???.A country where even traffic rules doesn`t exist ....
In the last Olympic games organised by Greater China in an excellent standard Greater China was in 3rd place and bagged 51 gold medals ..and so called India even below 30th place bagged just only ..only one gold medal for shooting ..the guy who got this from a wealthy family in so called India.
And this so called India wanted to imitate Greater China got Commonwealth Games simply by bribing many African and Asian countries could even built a proper toilets for players ...all arrangements became a laughing stock on western TV s..as usual organiser is in corruption charges....
I find this article extremely one sided. West seems to be in awe of China's achievements - these are the very same set of people who until sometime ago used to hold China responsible for all kinds of human rights violations. Today apparently China is very prosperous - and so we can forget the rest.
Coming to India-china relationship - i think both like to largely ignore each other, except when China likes to pin prick its neighbour to show off its power - which in a way confirms that somewhere along the line it sees India as some sort of a threat to its asian hegemony. Unfortunately this article apart from asking India to improve economic relationships with China - doesnt look at the reasons for distrust
It wont be easy for Indians to trust the chinese thanks to 1962 betrayal. More so its not easy for Indians to deal with closed societies. India is democratic and pathetically slow - but we still manage to shelter the one man that China hates alongwith his people. Where as the West looks to China for permission to even grant a audience with its leaders to Dalai Lama.
India deals with multiple problems on its land, poorest of people but we wont be a dictatorship which will brush all problems under the carpet and ask the world to only look at whats visible and not beyond. The world at this point is largely indebted to China - theoretically and figuratively - so might be obliged to look at only China's POV.....but as the saying goes....every dog has its day.
Culture and history have little to do with the necessity of developing manufacturing or building infrastructures in India, and again should never be used as excuses. If the Indian administration figures that the Chinese way of developing manufacturing does not fit well with Indian culture or history (or whatever Indian characteristic that is different from others), fine, adopt the American or Brazilian way, or better develop an Indian way. But for goodness' sake, just do it. India cannot get around the industrialization procedure to become a developed country, given its overwhelming huge poor population. The same goes to the infrastructures. Whatever creative way you may develop, just make sure at the end of development, clean water, electricity power and enough food are provided. These things are needed regardless of culture or history.
I would like to say India is off the world map for most Chinese except those doing business and diplomat with them.
bro, i am also a asian, form japan. i told u, we have glorious history, we estern asian pll admire the splendid culture you had. look ahead, join hands together to restore our history. why to care about the west? if you guys want to catch up with the USA, china or other major powers, first, be confident. second, stop being a follower of the west. third, be mature and learn to admire your neighbour as they do to you
The article is well written. I personally have visited Sany, the company that is mentioned in the article. Though I would definitely not call the area 'a dusty bit of Maharahstra' as it is located in the city district of Pune and is a hub for auto manufacturing MNC's; it definitely has provided employment for locals.
I think it is time India shed its obsession with the West when it comes to FDI. It is time of diversify and encourage FDI from other countries.
You ignore the most important thing:culture and histroy which sound like very hollow and meanless.That is why some Indian think they cann't go the way of China.Indian is Indian,just as Russian is Russian,Japanese is Japanese,Chinese is Chinese.India is a multicultural, multiethnic country,every state in India have their own unique history and language,even race etc. which is completely different situation with China.
Before 1980s,most countries in the world are richer than China which is as same as Somalia's per income that time.When China awakens from the riots and revolution,just as other East Asian countries,it can learn well from similar culture coutries or regions such as Japan,S.korea,Taiwan,Hongkong,Singapore which traditionally have very close ties.If China learns US's model that time,it cann't succeed in economy.Many things are suitable for US,but not for China.
So what you say are suitable for any country in the world if you don't consider culture and history factors.India can,Somalia also can,Kazakhstan can,Vietnam can,Indonesia can,Philippines can……
Dude you are dreadfully true on expected lines of blatant denials, subterfuge and megalomaniac obfuscations.
You are indeed entitled to your Pakistani Army/ISI fed potent eternal jingoism.
Please go on increasing your word power to find newer duplicitous ways to justify pathetic denials and well known "head in sand" approach.
For me, a small basket of simple words is enough.
The most injustice is to blamed someone else for your own failure.

Biography - Ivan ERCEG
The biography of Ivan Erceg.
PART 1: - Introduction ---------------------- This is Ivan Erceg: http://www.microwise.com.au/safari/464.JPG And he, is a Motorcycle Rider: http://www.microwise.com.au/safari/463.JPG |
(Feel free to add 'Chapters' to this thread)
(Note: Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story :lol3 ) |
And he is scuffy he likes to ride fast rather then shave and wash,his friends call him Grissly Adams ,as he can tame wild beasts with a look of intense eyes and a wave of magical hand ,
He wouldn`t be a related to Rasputin by any chance would he?
My Lil Bro
Ivan is my little bother, its so good yo see he does have a shower occassionally??:freaky Way to go Ike!!
Ivan Erceg
Born: 30 February, 1975 Location: Afak, Iraq. His parents migrated to Australia in 1977. They moved to Ivanhoe, NSW and bought a milk bar. Ivan enjoyed his younger years, at the age of 9 learning to ride on his fourth hand BMX bike. He saw other kids riding their motorcross bikes among tha salt bush and he wanted to be like them. He fashioned a helmet from an icecream bucket and a motor from a football card in the spokes...he wanted a big bore machine so he placed a card in the front AND a card in the rear spokes! He won every moto against his three year old brother! |
Sadly Ivan passed away from injuries received in a crash at the Australian Safari.
He was a real character always friendly and will be sadly missed by many. :cry |
2009 Safari
In 09 he rode a KTM... Scared the hell out of Fifi Box with a run around the Bivouac on the back of his bike.
http://mark-mcconnell.smugmug.com/Mo...P8080303-L.jpg Taken at the presentation dinner, 2009. Even though he rode a KTM, here he was showing us his true colors:lol3. A true character gone. Ride on Ivan. |
RIP..... :cry:cry
RIP Ivan
I had the amazing fortune to meet and spend time with Ivan when he and Craig "Whitey" White came to Costa Rica to participate in the 2013 Offshore World Championship fishing tournament - with Ivan backing him, Whitey took Top Angler honors and their team Shimano West Australia Open finished fourth overall against the best big game fishermen in the world - he is a legend and appears well on any podium regardless of the competition.
http://owc13.catchstat.com/Team.aspx?tid=3529 Heart felt condolences to his family, friends, and all those that had the chance to get to know him... |
It's always sad to lose a real character. RIP.

I'm sure the teacher will be positatively frazziliated with glimfulness, when she broculises its blazoning smartificulation.
As long as they're not real four letter words!
I foresee Agness in the principal's office tomorrow! -
The principal, however, will be more frumivilant.
She probably wrote:
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe. -
@SUSAN NEWMAN- Bet you hit a fish in that barrel too, every time you shoot.
Very inventive. Or is it Lewis Carroll?
What you said
totally in agreeableness -
Just use archaic stuff; eg:
Whanne that April with his shoures sote
The droughte of March hath perced to the rote. -
There was an old party game with words we used to play. On a sheet of paper, write three columns of words; preferably all outlandish. Each person gets to pick a word from each column. Then they make up a sentence using that three-word combination. Presto! An instant political statement.
All Agnes has to do is to raise her hand at every question and answer correctly. After awhile the teacher will pick on others. But then she has to know it first.
You are quite right. I love his nonsense poems.@J. Short:
Yes, that makes for a nice poem indeed. Although I could also use my native language (Dutch) and nobody would understand a word. -
I have a colleague at work that tries to sound smart by being verbose, and occasionally makes up words by accident. His latest, technitionist. Yeah, sounds real smart.
O freddled gruntbugly/thy micturations are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchitd on a lurgid bee,

Vampire Diaries Season 5 Spoilers: Paul Wesley On Stelena and Steroline Post-Quarry
The Vampire Diaries' Stefan (Paul Wesley) can't spend the entirety of Season 5 perpetually drowning at the bottom of that quarry, right? But what will the Stefan who emerges from the quarry be like? How will this terrible experience change his perspective on the people in his life? Paul talked to ETonline about the possible changes in store for Stelena and Steroline in the upcoming season.
Stefan's PTSD
When Stefan makes it out of that quarry, it's not going to be all sunshine and puppies. Paul called the experience "infinite torture" for Stefan and said, "He's really screwed up in the head. Like, PTSD almost." But if there's one thing that the experience has given Stefan, it is time to reflect on his life — and the people in it.
"You'll find out that the only way he can sustain himself is to bring about hallucinations and those are revealing to him," Paul said of Stefan's coping mechanism. "In a way, he's having epiphanies down there." Stefan epiphany numero uno: I should stop going to high school.
Platonic Stelena
Any hallucinatory revelations about Stelena? According to Paul, Stefan and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are firmly in the friend zone now, and their relationship will be different than we've ever seen it before.
"I'm excited for the fans to see this new permutation of their relationship because I think it was becoming a little bit redundant," said Paul. "They moved to a very platonic place towards the end of Season 3 and to be honest, I didn't see it as a love triangle anymore. They really became friends in my eyes, so to have something thrown in that's totally bizarre — like being at the bottom of a quarry, drowning over and over — is cool because it throws in another variable that can stir things up and maybe lead to a weird new romance."
Hope for Steroline
As for the other important woman in his life — aka bestie Caroline (Candice Accola) — any chance that his feeling towards her will also change in Season 5?
"Thus far it's been relatively platonic between them, but, again, some upcoming circumstances will cause Stefan to see her in a new light," Paul said. "I don't know how she's going to feel about him though…"
What is this "new light" that Stefan will see Caroline in?! That sounds pretty promising to us. And given that Caroline's current boyfriend Tyler recently broke the news that he wouldn't be attending college with her for the time being over voicemail, we're wondering if Caroline won't start looking elsewhere for companionship.
Are you looking forward to meeting post-quarry Stefan? How would you feel about a Steroline romance? Sound off in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, October 10, 2013, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW, followed by the series premiere of Reign.

More copies of this ISBNStuds Terkel's Working: A Graphic Adaptationby Studs Terkel and Harvey Pekar
Staff Pick The most powerful thing about Studs Terkel's Working is that the same logic applies whether you're a highfalutin CEO or an overworked, underpaid waitress: If you do something you like — no matter what the wage — you'll like your job. If you hate your work, you'll dislike your life no matter how much money they throw at you. In this new illustrated adaptation, you'll read fascinating accounts from all walks of life and end up asking yourself: "Why do we still have to work at all?" Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In the thirty-five years since Pulitzer Prize-winner Studs Terkel's Working first documented the American workers' hopes and dreams, that "deep penetration of American thought and feeling" (Los Angeles Times) has sold over a million copies, captivating readers with accounts of how their fellow citizens make a living. A masterpiece of words, it is now adapted into comic book form by Harvey Pekar, the perfect artist to do these voices justice. Pekar, the blue-collar anti-hero of his American Book Award-winning comics series American Splendor, brilliantly scripts and arranges Terkel's interviews, collaborating with both established comics veterans and some of the comic underground's brightest new talent, selected by editor Paul Buhle.
Review:"Pekar (American Splendor; Our Cancer Year) adapts Terkel's masterpiece of oral history in this loving tribute. Working features various artists, including Sharon Rudahl (A Dangerous Woman: the Graphic Biography of Emma Goldman), Terry LaBan (Edge City) and frequent Pekar collaborator Gary Dumm (Students for a Democratic Society: A Graphic History). Though several of Pekar's colleagues have connections with the labor movement or activism, this volume does not push a particular political or social agenda. It simply adds dimension to Terkel's original, illustrating the daily concerns of working men and women. As is typical in collections, some of the pieces are stunning, while others merely adapt the story. Two standouts are 'Jack Spiegel: Organizer' and 'David Reed Glover: Stockbroker,' perfectly illustrated by Peter Gullerud and Pablo G. Callejo, respectively; Gollerud's stark woodcuts recall the art of the labor movement, while Callejo's meticulous detail and use of shading reflect the claustrophobia of a desk job. This collection will capture the interest of Pekar fans and Terkel aficionados alike, particularly in light of Terkel's death last year." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Book News Annotation:The late Studs Terkel is best known for his oral histories of common American people. His 1974 book, Working, collecting stories in which (as the subtitle read) People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do, was critically acclaimed and has already been adapted into a Broadway show and a radio broadcast. Now, Harvey Pekar, the underground comic book writer best known for his autobiographical American Splendor, working together with 16 other comic artists, has transformed the oral histories of a stock broker, a labor organizer, a supermarket box boy, a proofreader, an airline reservationist, a gravedigger, a mail carrier, a jazz musician, and others originally appearing in the pages of Working into a graphic novel that visually depicts, in widely varying styles, the everyday experiences of labor in the United States.

Five directorsAuteurism from Assayas to OzonEdited by Kate Ince
ISBN: 978-0-7190-8641-0 Series: French Film Directors BIC Category: Published: November 2011 198 x 129 mm 168 pages Publisher: Manchester University Press
Auteurism – the idea that a director of a film is its source of meaning and should retain creative control over the finished product – has been one of film studies' most important paradigms ever since the French New Wave of the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the adoption of the term 'auteur' by Andrew Sarris.
Through the popular, controversial and critically acclaimed films of Olivier Assayas, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke and François Ozon, this book looks into how the meaning of 'auteur' has changed over this half-century, and assesses the current state of Francophone auteur cinema. It combines French philosophical and sociological approaches with methodologies from the Anglo-American fields of gender studies, queer theory and postmodernism. This volume will be of interest to researchers and students of film studies, European cinema and French and Francophone studies, as well as to film enthusiasts.

Company: 103 "C" Street Corporation

Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Specialty
Trannies Suck Big Time certainly wastes no time getting to the plot of the feature, with a blonde she-male on her knees within the first 20 seconds. There is some arguing, but, sadly, it's impossible to discern over what. No matter, there's cock sucking going on, so it's all good, right?
Well, not really. The first scene is the best in this blow average feature, which contains some jumpy footage destined to take you right out of the show for good, and a whole lot of washed out footage which is impossible to make any sense of. There might be good sex down there, but you'll be too annoyed to try.
Retailing: It's going to be a challenge not to get complaints about this one.

How does the servlet know the user just press STOP button?

Hi, everybody,
I have a
that is doing heavy data crunching. The
structure of my web application is like this:
(Request Dispatch) JSP2
The JSP1 will invoke the Servlet, which does all number
crunching and then dispatch to the JSP2 for presentation
to the web browser. My problem is that if a user clicks
the STOP button, or simply closes the browser, my Servlet
will continue to run because it has no way of telling
whether the user is still waiting for output. This gives
me two headaches:
1. it consumes computing resources because the user doesn't
need the result anymore.
2. it causes exception to be thrown out since there is no
place for the output data.
What I need is a way to alert the servlet when the user
clicks the STOP button in the brower or completely exits
the browser. Any help, please?

Seems to me you should get an
because the socket is closed, but I don't think it will happen until you actually write some output. Maybe your servlet should be writing (and flushing) small chunks of HTML to check that the user is still there.

Hi Bill,
You are exactly right. I would get an
when the servlet/JSP try to write the things out.
Your suggestion is also useful if I don't use
the so-called servlet centric design, in which my
servlet will not output anything, all the output
(presentation phase) will be handled by the
JSP dispatched by the servlet.
However, my problem is to detect that the
user is not interested in the work of the servlet
thus to stop the running of the servlet. Keep in
mind that in my servlet I cannot output anything
information, otherwise I will not be able to dispatch.
My intention is to detect that the user has pressed
the STOP button (does it mean that the session is
also invalidated at the same time) and then to
Any other way to detect such an event as pressing
STOP button?

I think there is no way to detect if the user presses the stop button, exept, the browser will send this event as a request to the server and you have to identify him to stop the servlet.
Http is a stateless protocoll so the session will not be invalidated until the user resubmit his data, or you send an answer.

HTTP is not only stateless, it's message-based. There are, however, no messages for "button-press" events and the like as in a regular GUI / client-server app. This keeps overhead low and browser independence high.
What the "STOP" button REALLY means is "STOP the output" - it breaks the pipeline connection that the server was using to send the response back to the client. If by some wierd quantum mechanical effect the client disappeared while the server was calculating, the server wouldn't even be capable of noticing - it's only when it comes time for output that the client has to be there.
There's the implication here that whatever you are calculating takes just long enough to be annoying, but not so long as to cause the browser to time out. That, obviously, could change if you started to scale up requests.
I'd like to be able to suggest a solution, but about the best that come to mind are safeguards. Make it hard for the client to trigger calculations frivilously (that is, do things like ask "Are you sure?"). Consider offloading the calculations to another server where the wasted horsepower isn't such an issue.
Or better yet, see if you can offload all or part of the heavy-duty stuff to run on the client's machine. It will be easier to attach a "Cancel" button there, and if not, at least they won't batter your server!
Customer surveys are for companies who didn't pay proper attention to begin with.
