Two hundred area Cub and Boy Scouts participated in the 3rd annual Scout Boats/Sea Ray of Charleston Sea Spot Run Fishing Tournament on October 12 at the County Park and Recreation Commission's Mount Pleasant Fishing Pier, raising $2,000 for the Coastal Carolina Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Trophies were awarded in five categories with Mike Hart of Summerville's Pack 825 earned the "Scout Sportsman " award with his encouraging attitude throughout the day., Preston Mappus of Charleston's Pack 79 hauling in the "Biggest Fish" of the day, a 14 1'2" Trout, Sullivan Porcaro of Mount Pleasant Pack 505 with the "Fish with the Most Spots" trophy with an 11 ½" Trout, and Clifton Benson of Charleston's Pack 14 with the "Most Fish Caught" Trophy after bringing in an assortment of 11 fish including bass, spot, grouper, toad, puffer and pinfish. Mason Jefferson of Pack 9 in Mount Pleasant was awarded the "Most Unusual Catch" with his catch of a Crevalle Jack. Laird Staley and Tony Kozloski of Lowcountry Anglers served as the official weighmasters, accompanied by Robert Wiggers and Rhett Box of South Carolina DNR.
In addition, Preston Mappus of Pack 79 in Charleston, Michael Fuller of Pack 241 in Bluffton, Khalil Rumph of Walterboro and Ronnie Hutto of Troop 502 on Isle of Palms each participated in SC DNR's tag and release program over the course of the day, winning additional prizes.

I suggest using a longer algorithm (SHA-512), and then specifying a
variable number of bits to truncate to, to enable the signer to achieve
their own balance between non-enumerability and minimization on-wire
packet size. For small zones, this could be less than traditional NSEC
if people don't care about enumerability (if we make sure we treat
weak hash algorithms right).
I also think that those wanting to support weak algorithms, AND those who
are concerned to treat QNAME/label hash collisions right (despite their
unlikelihood) AND those who don't give a fig about enumerability and want
to use minimum CPU cycles will EACH want to support an identity hash
algorithm. That means you need the field anyway (conceivably it
could be 0 for identity, or a number of octets to which SHA-512 is
My personal view on the necessity for identity algorithm is that it's
only needed if you want to support weak / deliberately over truncated
hash algorithms, but I understand others' points of view.

1) What is your definition of "connected at a particular point in

2) What model is the switch? Is it a managed switch?

Horizon Discovery has pledged $400,000 in funding for a two-year research collaboration with the University of Washington (UW) that aims to exploit Horizon's rAAV-based gene-editing technology for engineering human induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) and generating new X-Man™ cell models of genetically defined human cell lines.
The collaboration builds on partnerships established between the UW and Horizon in 2008 and 2009 centered on the gene-editing platform. These deals granted Horizon an exclusive worldwide license to IP relating to the use of parvoviral vectors in human gene editing for cell lines and stem cell applications, and exclusive licenses worldwide for all pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and bioproduction applications across all therapeutic fields.
The latest partnership could enable the generation of thousands of new X-Man cell lines for personalized medicine R&D, together with the development of optimized reagents for producing biologics and ex vivo-derived tissue therapies, Horizon claims. The firm will retain an exclusive right to any resulting new IP.
"The ability to precisely and stably alter the genome of mammalian and especially human cell lines, without introducing errors or exogenous vector sequences, will open up multiple new opportunities for our products and services in pharmaceutical and diagnostic development, as well as bioproduction markets," comments Darrin M. Disley, Ph.D., Horizon executive chairman. "This latter field has long been subject to compromises in the long-term stability and yield of bioexpressed products, and the genetic stability inherent in stem cells promises big advances in this field."
Horizon has already used its virally mediated gene-engineering technology, Genesis™, to develop a panel of over 250 genetically defined and patient-relevant X-Man human cell lines, which it claims accurately recapitulate the main genetic mutations underpinning cancers including lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate.These X-Man models are being used by the industry and academic groups worldwide for applications ranging from the identification of new drug targets and drug candidate optimization, to defining patient response genotypes, identifying combinations of drugs to address resistance, and finding new oncology applications for existing drugs.
In December 2010 Horizon confirmed plans to plow new resources into the provision of training and open access to its rAAV Genesis platform for an additional 50 academic and not-for-profit research groups. The move to expand its Genesis Gene Editing Consortium over the next five years forms part of Horizon's strategy to generate at least 2,500 new X-Man models of cancer, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular disease.
Existing consortium members include the University of Washington, the University of Torino, Johns Hopkins University, the Translational Genomics Institute, the University of Minnesota, the University of Maryland, Case Western Reserve University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Right after classes today I headed out to EB Games where I picked up two copies of Halo 3. When I got to EB Games they had over 100+ copies of halo 3 along with a few limited edition ones with the helmet.
Damn me being poor =/
I have to wait to actually buy a 360 before I can get the game =[
Buuut should be getting my 360 within a month.. I'm getting £120 in two weeks from the college.. so I'll be like half way there, have about £50 in my savings account (my mother thinks there about £500 quid in there =/) and I've got about £20 saved too so hopefully I'll only have to wait about 2 more weeks =]

Did this start suddenly?
Swap assignment is a little bit delicate. When you set it manually
after bootup, you're running something like:
# swap -a /dev/swap
The `swap` command does a stat() on the device node you name, and passes
its major/minor device number to the kernel. /dev/swap is the default
_name_ for this device, and 1/41 is the default _device number_, but
running `swap -a /dev/swap` circumvents this default binding.
That is: suppose /dev/swap _isn't_ 1/41 on your system. Suppose you
deleted the /dev/swap that was created at install time, and created a
new one on another disk, again naming it "/dev/swap". Its device number
might be 1/108. Now, booting with the default swap area wouldn't work
(though I doubt it would hang without a useful error message). You
would need to change things in one of several ways:
You could boot with "swap=none", then run `swap -a /dev/swap` after
bootup. The `swap` program would look up /dev/swap's major/minor device
number and pass it to the kernel.
You could add "swap=hd(108)" to DEFBOOTSTR in your /etc/default/boot. A
possible danger of that method is that you need to remember to add it to
_every_ boot. If you add a new bootable entry to /etc/default/boot, it
won't work if you forget the "swap=" statement. Likewise, if you walk
up to the console and manually enter "unix", it won't work unless you
remember the "swap=".
Probably the most proper way to change this is to actually change the
kernel's default idea of the swap device. This is done in the file
/etc/conf/cf.d/sassign; see sassign(F). For my example, you would
swap hd 108
("hd" is the name of block major number 1; that is, the entry in
/etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice whose 5th field is "1".)
Whatever technique you use to override the swap device, make sure you've
also thought about the dump device. This is where the kernel writes a
memory dump during a panic. Panic dumps are very useful for debugging,
so it is unwise to set up a system that cannot successfully dump.
The default is to use the same device for dump as for swap. Most
systems are configured that way, mostly because most systems have pretty
vanilla swap setups. Even if you're doing something unusual with swap,
you still probably want to use the same device for dumping. In that
case you should override it in the same place as you override swap: in
sassign or on the kernel command line. (There's no runtime way to
change the dump device; I don't think `swap -a /some/device` changes
dumpdev, but it might have a special case for the first swap assignment
after booting with "dump=none".)
There are some cases where you might want to separate swap and dump.
Dumps can be directed to a SCSI tape drive (obviously not useful for
swapping...) You could cycle between several dump devices if you are
fighting a frequent panic and want to quickly collect several dumps to
I just tried a crazy experiment. Not recommended on any system you want
to keep in a sane state, but ... I created a dump _file_, booted with
"dump=marry(1)", and ran `marry -a /tmp/dump`. Then I caused a panic.
I first did this with a dump file as large as memory. This wrote a
successful dump. So then I got really crazy and did the same thing with
an _empty_ married dump file. This also created a successful dump!
Married files can grow dynamically.
I strongly recommend not trying to use a married dump file on a
production system. The reason panics are written to a block device is
to minimize the amount of kernel code used during a panic. If the
system is panicing, it's because the kernel is in some sort of unstable
state. Asking it to write to my root filesystem was a foolish thing for
me to do; asking it to dynamically grow a file during a panic state was
much more daring. I felt safe because I was doing this on a throwaway
VMWare cloned machine, and because I knew how and why the system was
panicing (I was provoking it!)
================================================== ===========================
Well, getting back to the question at hand.
Your problem might be because the kernel is coming up with a different
device number than you. Check sassign; check DEFBOOTSTR in
/etc/default/boot; compare those to the major/minor numbers of /dev/swap
(or whatever you're using).
If you haven't solved it by then, come back with: your exact OSR5
release (`uname -X`); major patches you've applied; problem history (new
install? suddenly started happening on a previously working machine?);
and show us what the screen looks like when it hangs. What are the last
few bootup messages before the hang?

About Me
Hi, I'm Danny Brown… and I've been playing drums since 1976!
I get asked quite often by people who don't know me all that well if I'm the same Dan Brown who wrote the DaVinci Code Book.
The answer is, No, I'm not. That's why I go by "Danny" or "Daniel" instead of just "Dan."
I never really wanted to be famous like "Dan Brown," because I'm a very private guy, but I find myself trying to be less so. I figure how much can I really help anyone if I keep to myself?
Anyway, to tell you a little bit…
I've been married to my wife, Peggy since 1992 and we have a son, Blair, and a daughter, Danielle.
My favorite things to do are spending time with my wife and kids, playing drums and guitar, doing community theater, teaching success principles, blogging, and selling online.
I used to love to fix up junk houses and sell them, but not so much anymore. Well, I still love it. I just don't do it much anymore because the economy is so lousy.
Right now, I mainly blog about success principles. My main blogs are this one, my Drum Blog, and my Internet Marketing Blog.
I also have a book on Amazon: "The Ultimate Drums and Cymbals Guide!"
I've played drums since I was 10 years old, but unfortunately, never had any professional drum lessons. I also play lead guitar in a classic rock band and bass in my local church.
I started out playing drums with just an old snare drum that my older brother had laying around the house… I remember this snare drum having no bottom head and no snares, but I loved it anyway!
A year later, for my tenth birthday, my parents bought me a thirty dollar drum set… I literally played the life out of it! My little set of thirty dollar drums only lasted a little more than a year!
My drum set today consists of a 9-piece TAMA Rockstar in wine-red… An absolutely beautiful set of drums!
Through all my years of drumming, I've been around a lot of drummers, and I can tell you, playing styles vary… and so do attitudes! Attitude is what makes all the difference in the quality of our lives, from our relationships to our finances!
Speaking of finances, many people ask me if I know of a way to make good money since I do blogging. Fortunately, the answer is YES! See more here!
As an entrepreneur myself, I've learned many hard lessons pertaining to business, and life in general.
In fact, not so many years ago, I had struggled with depression, anger, fear, doubt, confusion, dead end jobs, business failures, financial lack, recurring sicknesses, and poor relationships. I found myself continuously frustrated with low pay, unappreciation, and insecurity.
But, these hardships have taught me many things about success and failure (along with many books, tapes, sermons, and seminars).
As an avid reader, I've always had a thirst for knowledge of why and how things work. But even though I have studied much, there's still no substitute for experience! Experience always has been, and always will be the best teacher!
By learning from someone else's mistakes, you can really save some valuable time and money! Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another!"

Swapping a share of Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) for an ounce of gold doesn't seem like a fair trade these days.
The spot bullion price for an ounce of gold closed at $1,243.50 yesterday. The world's leading search engine wrapped up its trading day at $882.31. That's a big gap, but that seems to be narrowing as gold falls out of favor and investors rally around the potential of the dot-com darling.
These do seem to be passing ships. A year ago, Google closed at $580.47, and an ounce of the yellow stuff was going for nearly three times as much at $1,592.
What a difference a year makes. Google's 52% surge and gold's 22% drop find us barreling toward an intersection where Google's stock passes an ounce of gold. Another 52% pop for Google would hurl it past $1,340. Another 22% slide for gold would send it below $970.
The meeting point isn't likely to happen in the coming year, though. Google is unlikely to repeat last year's ascent. Gold is unlikely to repeat its fall.
However, at least I no longer feel completely embarrassed about my prediction made back in 2005 that Google would overtake gold in 10 years.
It can happen.
"Would you rather own a share of Google or an ounce of gold," I asked at the time. "Here's the stipulation: You have to put your choice under a mattress for the next 10 years. That's right. I'm taking something as volatile as Google and as cyclical as a gold coin and forcing you into a long-term commitment."
Google was at $403.54 at the time. An ounce of gold was trading hands at $496, crossing the $500 mark the following day.
Both investments have panned out nicely. Google's stock is trading 119% higher, and gold has risen a hearty 151%. Google hasn't issued any dividends along the way, so it's clearly a victory for the gold bugs since late 2005. However, I still like my chances with nearly 29 months left to go.
Momentum is on my side.
For starters, the factors that led to gold's surge included booming emerging market economies and the collapse of the housing market that sent investors scurrying for a new hard asset class. Those tailwinds have settled down. Along the way, Google is only getting stronger.
Forget this year where Google's growth is padded by last year's Motorola acquisition. Analysts see revenue and earnings climbing 17% and 16%, respectively, at Big G next year. Google's actually fetching 16.5 times next year's projected profitability, splitting the difference. That's not ridiculously cheap, but it's certainly not expensive.
Google's market leadership in search, online advertising, video sharing, and mobile operating systems make it worthy of a market premium.
Can there be geopolitical upheavals or inflation hiccups that send gold skyrocketing again? Absolutely. However, the safer bet is on continued growth for Google.
We'll see how the next two years play out.
The gold touch
Gold has outshined the stock market with strong returns since 2000, but more recently has given way to big declines. The Motley Fool's new free report, "The Best Way to Play Gold Right Now," dissects the recent volatility and provides a guide for gold investing. Click here to read the full report today!

Senior Citizen,Fixed Deposits and Tax
My father/mother is retired. He has a fixed deposit with a bank interest of Rs 50,000 a year. Does he need to file his income tax return? Is there any way he could be exempted from taxes?
We regularly get queries like above. Fixed Deposits are very popular among retirees and FDs feature in almost every senior citizens investment portfolio. The advantages are:
- It offers a high degree of safety to funds and
- Fixed returns and banks provide senior citizens with 0.25 % to 0.50 % extra interest rates
- It also provides a good degree of liquidity as FDs can be broken at fairly low penalty rates.
But..the cons
- Interest from Fixed Deposit is fully taxable.
- TDS(Tax is deducted at Source) if interest from a FD exceeds 10,000 Rs. TDS is deducted at rate of 10%.
As interest from Fixed Deposit is taxable, this needs to be added to the Senior Citizen income. If total income for a senior citizen exceeds the exemption limit ( the income on which senior citizen does not have to pay tax) then senior citizen is required to pay tax. But if the income of the senior citizen is less than the exemption limit then senior citizen has two choices :
- Ask the bank not to cut TDS by submitting filled form 15H (pdf) to bank every April.
- If TDS has been deducted ask for refund.
In this article we shall discuss who is Senior Citizen and Very Senior Citizen, tax slabs for Senior Citizens, Fixed Deposits for Senior Citizens, Form 15H to avoid TDS, show interest in Income Tax Return and how to fill ITR form for refund.
Who is Senior Citizen?
From Income tax perspective (as fro FY 2012-13) there are two categories of Senior Citizens:
- Senior Citizen : For age of 60-80 years
- Very Senior Citizen : Above 80 years
Under the Income Tax Act, a senior citizen is a person who at any time during the previous year has attained the age of 60 years or more i.e for a person who is of age 60 but less than 80 years on end date of financial year (for 2012-13 is 31-Mar-2013) will be considered as senior citizen for that Financial Year. So
- A person who is of age between 60-80 years on 31st Mar 2013(including 31st Mar) will be considered as Senior Citizen for FY 2012-13 or Assessment Year 2013-14.
- A person who is above 80 years on 31st Mar 2013(including 31st Mar) will be considered as Senior Citizen for FY 2012-13 or Assessment Year 2013-14.
The age for Senior Citizen(and Very Senior Citizen) and the various tax slabs are announced in Budget every year.Before Financial year(FY) 2010-11 or Assessment Year 2011-12 the age limit for being considered a senior citizen was 65 Years. FY 2011-2012 also introduced Very Senior Citizen Category!(Ref LiveMint) Tax slabs for FY 2012-13(AY 2013-14) is as follows .( Our article Understanding Income Tax Slabs,Tax Slabs History discusses Tax slabs etc in detail)
|MEN and WOMEN
|SENIOR CITIZEN(Between 60 yrs to 80 yrs)
|For Very Senior Citizens(Above 80 years)
|Basic Exemption
|10% tax
|200001 to 500000
|250001 to 500000
|20% tax
|500001 to 1000000
|500001 to 1000000
|500001 to 1000000
|30% tax
|above 1000000
|above 1000000
|above 1000000
|There is no surcharge in the case of every individual, Hindu undivided family, Association of persons and body of individuals
|Education Cess
|3% on Income-tax plus Surcharge.
So tax for Senior Citizen works out as follows: He/She does not have to pay tax if his/her income is less than 2.5 lakh (50,000 more than Men/Women below 60 years)
- Pay 10.3% of tax on income between 2.5 lakh to 5 lakhs
- Pay 20.6% of tax on income between 5 lakh to 10 lakhs Ex: for income of 7 lakh he will
- Pay 30.9% of tax on income above 10 lakhs
- For income of 3 lakh he will need to pay 10.3% of tax on income exceeding 2.5 lakh i.e 10.3% on 50,000 =5,150
- For income of 8 lakh he will need to pay 10.3% of tax on income of 2.5 lakh(10.3% on 2,50,000 =25,750) + 20.6% on income exceeding 5 lakh(20.6% of 3 lakh = 61800) i.e 87,550
- For income of 12 lakh he will need to pay 10.3% of tax on income of 2.5 lakh(10.3% on 2,50,000 =25,750) + 20.6% on income of 5 lakh(20.6% of 5 lakh = 1,03,000) and 30.9% of income exceeding 10 lakh (30.9% of 2 lakh =61800 ) i.e 1,90,550
Age, Basic Exemption Limit, Slabs keep on changing with time. For example For Financial year 2010-11 or Assessment Year 2011-12, age of senior citizens was 65 and income tax slabs were as follows.
|Basic Exemption
|10% tax
|160001 to 500000
|190001 to 500000
|240001 to 500000
|20% tax
|500001 to 800000
|500001 to 800000
|500001 to 800000
|30% tax

Earlier there was a big confusion on age of senior citizen by different organizations . For example Union ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment defined a senior citizen as someone who is 60, but the income tax department allows benefits for the category only after 65 while an insurance company considered a person who is 55 as a senior citizen. Ref:When do you become a senior citizen? MoneyControl Various Benefits a Senior Citizen Can Avail
Advantages to Senior Citizens
Other Facilities offered to Senior Citizens are:
- Banks offer a higher rate of interest on fixed deposits to senior citizens. The offering is 0.5-0.75% more than the prevalent interest rates. The minimum age to get a premium on your deposit is 60.
- A Senior Citizens Savings Scheme offering an interest rate is 9% per annum on the deposits made by the senior citizens in post offices has been introduced by the Government.
- The Ministry of Railways provides 40% fare concession to men above 60 years and 50% concession to women above 58 years in all all classes, all trains including Rajdhani, Shatabadi, Jan Shatabadi . The Indian Railways also have the facility of separate counters for senior citizens for purchase or cancellation of tickets. Ref:.indianrailways.gov.in Concession Rules, indianrailways.gov.in list of categories (pdf)
- The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways mandates the reservation of two seats for senior citizens in front row of the buses of the State Road Transport Undertakings. Some state governments give fare concessions to senior citizens in the State Road Transport Undertaking buses and have introduced bus models that are convenient to the elderly.
- Indian Airlines provides 50 per cent Senior Citizen Discount on Normal Economy Class fare for all domestic flights to Indian senior citizens who have completed the age of 63 years ubject to certain conditions. Ref: AirIndia Webpage
- JetLite offers Senior Citizens (65 years and above) concession on basic adult fare in Economy class, on all domestic sectors operated by JetKonnect. To avail of this concession, you have to fill the "Concession Form" and submit it along with a photograph and proof of age More details at JetLite webpage Concessional Fares
Concessions and Facilities given to Senior Citizens has information on benefits to Senior Citizens.
Senior Citizens and Advance Tax:In Union Budget 2012 it was proposed that senior citizens, who do not have any income from a business, would be exempted from payment of advance tax. Advance tax is applicable on all individuals, salaried or otherwise, with an advance tax liability of Rs 10,000 or more earned during a fiscal year. Normally, in case you owe advance tax(means you had to pay and you didn't) you have to pay interest under section 23A/B/C. Accordingly, now the senior citizen could pay tax after the FY ends on 31 March as "self assessment tax" on taxable income before filing returns. (Ref: Livemint For senior citizens no advance tax if no business income)
Interest on Fixed Deposits for Senior Citizens
Banks offer a higher rate of interest on fixed deposits to senior citizens. The offering is 0.25-0.75% more than the prevalent interest rates. The minimum age to get a premium on your deposit is 60. A younger age group person can also enjoy this benefit if he opens a joint account with a senior citizen. But the deposit needs to be in the name of the elder one. How much extra will senior citizen earn, let's see through an example Using our Fixed Deposit Calculator (In India Interest rate on Fixed Deposit is compounded quarterly)
- Senior citizen investing Rs 50,000 for a 3-year-tenure at 9.5% will get 66,266.95 on maturity
- A person invests Rs 50,000 for a 3-year-tenure at an interest rate of 9% get Rs 65,302.5 on maturity
Senior citizen will get Rs 965(964.45) more. If a senior citizen opts for quarterly payout of interest, then he earns Rs 750 more. Interest rates on fixed deposits changes from time to time. For example last year interest rates offered on term deposits were higher. At any particular time interest rate depends on
- Period or tenure of deposit ( 15 days, 1 year , 5 years etc),
- Interest paid every quarter or on maturity(cumulative)
- Amount invested (less than 15 lakh, more than a crore etc)
- Bank. Interest rate varies from bank to bank.
While many websites cover interest rates on fixed deposits ,but check if the information is updated. We found that Moneycontrol's Best Rates by Fixed Income Instruments allows one to search on different parameters (Tenure, Investor Type) quite updated. To find rates for Senior Citizen choose Investor Type as Senior Citizen. In any case you are requested to reconfirm the rates from the respective institutions before making any financial commitments.

TDS on Fixed Deposit
Tax or TDS is deducted by the bank, if the aggregate interest income from fixed deposits that you are likely to earn for all your deposits held in a branch is greater than Rs 10,000 in a financial year. If Bank deducts TDS then bank would give you FORM 16A and it would also come up in FORM 26AS. Please verify. (Avoid TDS : Form 15G or Form 15H covers the topic in detail)
TDS can be avoided by:
- Distributing FD investment:Split the FD to separate banks or branches of banks in such a way that interest earned from any of the FD does not exceed the Rs 10000 limits.
- Timing the FD: The TDS can also be saved by timing the FD in such a way that interest for any of the financial years does not exceed Rs 10000. For example, a 12-month FD of Rs 1 Lac @ 10.5% could be started in September as the financial year closes on 31st March so the interest would split in two financial years, and hence TDS could be avoided.
- By Submitting Form 15G/15H. For Senior Citizens Form 15H
- Whether TDS is deducted or not interest in Fixed Deposit is taxable ,
- Tax on FD is calculated by adding interest income from FD as income from other sources to your salary etc and then tax is calculated as per your income slab
Form 15H to avoid TDS for Senior Citizen
Form 15H is a declaration made by senior citizen for Bank to not deduct tax when 🙁 Under sub-section (1C) of section 197A of the Income-tax Act, 1961,)
- He is a senior citizen
- His estimated income in the year will be below the exemption limit.
- Has submitted PAN
- Form 15H is valid only for a year. It has to be submitted every year in the month of April for every fixed deposit whether interest is paid or not (in case of cumulative)
If senior citizen does not fill form 15H, does not fill on time or due to bank officials somehow Form 15H is not considered, TDS will be deducted when interest for all one's deposits held in a branch is greater than Rs 10,000 in a financial year. Note: interest on FD in that Financial year should be more than 10,000, it's not the amount invested in FD or total interest earned in FD. Part of 15H (pdf) is shown in picture below.
PAN is necessaryIf PAN is not submitted then TDS will be at higher rate and Form 15H will be invalid.
- As per section 206AA introduced by Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 wef 01.04.2010, every person who receives income on which TDS is deductible shall furnish his PAN, failing which TDS shall be deducted at the rate of 20%(as against 10% which is existing TDS rate) in case of Domestic deposits and 30.90% in case of NRO deposits
- In the absence of PAN TDS certificate will not be issued, form 15G/H and other exemption certificates will be invalid even if submitted and penal TDS will be applicable (as per CBDT circular no:03/11)
TDS and Income Tax Return If you file Income Tax Return then you need to show interest earned from Fixed Deposits and TDS.
- Interest from Fixed Deposit comes under Income from other sources.
- TDS cut is shown in DETAILS OF TAX DEDUCTED AT SOURCE FROM INCOME OTHER THAN SALARY. (Note: This is as per Form 16A and is reflected in Form 26AS)
Sample images from Filling ITR-1 : Bank Details, Exempt Income, TDS Details are shown below for Mr. Mehta who had income Interest on saving bank account (Rs 5000) and Interest from Fixed Deposit(Rs 20,000) and bank deducted 10% TDS i.e 2,000 Rs on FD. (Note: These images are for ITR1 of FY 2011-12(AY 2012-13. Forms for FY2012-13(AY 2013-14) may be different).
Refund on TDS
If TDS has been deducted for interest on FD and senior citizen(or any individual for that matter) is not liable to pay tax then one can claim refund on tax. Income Tax Return Form have a portion called as Tax category. Where one needs to Fill Tax Refundable in Nature of Tax in ITR. The category is based on total tax payable with and interest and total prepaid tax.
- If total tax and interest < total prepaid tax then fill tax refundable
- If total tax payable > total prepaid tax then fill tax payable
- If total tax payable = total prepaid tax then fill nil tax balance
It has to be supported by showing the tax computation and tax deducted. Which are in Part TAX COMPUTATION AND TAX STATUS of the ITR Form. For ITR 1 of FY 2011-12(AY 2012-13) parts of ITR1 is shown below.

We are planning to make 1lakh FD for my mother in law who is a senior citizen and does not have any source of income. A property is on her name and she receives money from my husband for day to day expenses.
We are planning to make this FD as a substitute to medical insurance. My question is:
– Any other investment option other than an FD?
– She does not have a pan card, is it necessary to create one before making FD in her name?
– Is there any way by which we can make FD in her name without the PAN card submission requirement? (joint FD maybe where I submit my PAN card)
– Kindly suggest some banks with good interest rates?
My mother who is a senior cityzen,had no income other than two fixed deposits of 2 lakhs opened in July 14 . Unfortunately, she did not have PAN endorsed with her FD a/c ,neither had submitted 15H and the bank had ducted TDS @20.6% since Jan15 .Now that she has endorsed PAN with her a/c can she claim TDS on FD for previous years 2014-15 and 2015-16?

Rs.50000/- and Rs.25000/- fixedly for 3 years. On maturity, the bank
deducted Rs. 2763/- and Rs.1354/- towards IT from the Senior citizen who
has no income and had no PAN also. How she is able to get the Income Tex

i am a retired employee. the amount received on retirement is deposited in 2 bank a/cs and is giving me int. monthly for my wife and myself which is meagre for our livelyhood. I would like to know how much can I besafe without tax. thanking you
Sir we can understand your situation, many senior citizens are in the same position.
Interest on Fixed Deposits is taxed as per the income slab.
If only income you have is interest from FD and interest from all the FD is less than 3 lakh – the interest not the FD amount then you don't have to pay any tax.
3 lakh is basic exemption limit for senior citizen i.e above 60 years of age.
sir my father 67 after selling property want to deposit (FD)3000000/- in bank now he don't have any income then what will be the tax on FD it is on the income interest or on all deposited amount that that means if bank giving 9%annum on 3000000 that is 270000 then he have to pay intrest on 270000 or 3270000?and how much
Interest on FD is taxable so 2,70,000 is taxable as per the income slab.
As your father is above 60 years the exemption limit is 3 lakh. So if only income is interest from FD its Tax free!
Hello sir, my father retired from a government job this year on January 2015 and was paid around 15 lakh for whom tax has already been deducted by company. My father fixed the money as FD and MIS in bank for earning on interest and submitted form 15H. But when I checked Form 26AS of my father for this year, 20k money is showing in it under 15H column in the assessment year 15-16 for money accrued during February and march 2015, for which TDS has not been deducted. ( In March beginning my father got 6k as interest and other 15k has been shown by bank by dividing the total interest on FD monthwise and shown it as earning in current year which my father didn't get ).
So my question is whether 20k money which is showing under 26AS is taxable as extra income or non taxable.
Sir Interest on FD and MIS is taxable as per the income slab. As your father had submitted 15H form , bank honoured the wishes and informed the Income tax department that it has not deducted the interest.
The interest will be paid only when the FD matures and one can choose whether one should show interest yearly or maturity. It is recommended that one use the yearly method of reporting interest especially if the entry would be in Form 26AS i.e for interest above 10,000.
On the retirement money that your father received you have to see how much is taxable ex gratuity, leave encashment and then arrive at the income from salary and exempt income.
But its just two months after retirement Feb and march 2015, which came under last financial year. So do you suggest whether that 15K which my father has not got, but is shown on 26 AS – Should father give tax on that 15K or not.
You father should include entire 21K as income from Other sources and calculate tax libility
My father's age is 65 means he will be coming under senior citizen slab. He is getting pension + interest on fd( income from other source). Qus is when sumitting ITR how/where to get relaxed hra/medical amount or it is not applicable for senior citizen.
My parents are senior citizen and they are depending on me, and they are not in tax payers band. My question is that if i gifted money (say l lakhs) to my parents and they deposited the money in their names in bank, then is it possible to show gifted 1 lakhs in 80C section(My 80C limit is not crossed) for me to show as an investment?
My wife and I both are Sr.Citizen over 70 yrs.i am retd.no pension depending on my 2 sons financial help.my wife a post surgical patient, me and my wife spend over 10K on medicines/Diagonistic /month. My only asset my flat I intend to sell out could fetch 1.5 cr. in present market price( was bought 20 yrs. back for 7 lacs. only)I would klike to keep this entire money in FD and live till we survive on the interest of te same. kindly let me know the ideal tax plan to save for the best monthly retun for Med.Expense and our daily requirements. The FD will be equally shared by our 2 sons after our demise as per my Will. Thanking you, with best regards, S.K.Bose.
I have opened an FD in the name of my father from my account . Will I be tax liable for it?
If the FD auto renews itself the next year , then who will be tax liable?
No as you are adult you can say you have gifted the money to your father.
FD is in your father's name, PAN number would be of father.
Your father can avoid TDS if he submits form 15G/form 15H to bank
Dear Sir,
If any senior citizen give a loan to a Proprietorship firm and charged a interest of Rs. 30000/- in a f.y. so please advise me TDS deducted by the firm or he submit Exepmtion Form.
My mom is a senior citizen and she has some FDs in her bank account, around 4 lacs. There is no other income but she is living with my sister who has a job. Would any TDS be deducted from her FD interest. What is the threshold at which she has to pay TDS? Also would my sister's income affect her TDS since they live in the same household. I am not in India and I have no clue about India's tax laws. Just wanted to help my mother to make good financial decision. Thanks a lot for providing help on this matter. Your website is very much organized and has good information.
Just to confirm what has been said in this article…I have a joint account with my mother who is a Senior citizen. The first name in the account is mine. She has opened a FD for Rs 1,00,000 in the account in her name and has submitted form 15 H. Would the interest generated from the FD be taxable if my mothers income for the year is less than 2.5 lakhs. Would I be liable to pay tax om the interest form this FD. ?
sir my clients invested above 30 lakhs, he is senior citizen, this year intrest income above
RS.250000/- he is submmited form 15h but the company say form 15h not applicable
we will cut 10% TDS, IF THERE IS ANY RULES KINDLY LET ME KNOW
My father is 61 & mother is 59. They both used to have PPF accounts (both being non-salaried). Upon maturity they withdrew the money and put it in an FD.
(10 lacs each)
I would like to know if there is a better way to invest this money for them to get good returns minimizing their taxes since they will both stop earning income in next 4-5 years.
Are there any pension plans / fixed income gurantee plans with minimal risk that exist?
very well written…U have covered all the important aspects of this scheme…thnx for sharing your knowledge with us…
Nice info.Might help lot of senior citizens. Thanks and Keep Sharing.

As far as factory barrels go which tend to be more accurate and why. Hammer forged or button rifled. I'm trying to narrow my choices between a Savage, CZ and Howa for a heavy barrled varmint rig

Based on my experience, hammer forged is the way to go. I have never had a hammer forged barrel shoot anything less than exceptional: Steyr, CZ, etc. I've had button rifled barrels shoot great too.
December 9, 2008, 12:52 AM
Well all AK's barrels are hammer forged so they don't ALL shoot exceptional...
Basically which ever barrel has the greatest attention to detail put into it, will be the best; whether that's forged, button, whatever. I don't think it matters.
December 9, 2008, 10:31 AM
Well all AK's barrels are hammer forged so they don't ALL shoot exceptional...
The AK's barrel is the last thing affecting it's accuracy. Mostly it's the crude sights and torque from the heavy gas piston.
Hammer forged barrels will last tens of thousands of rounds, one of the reasons why you see them on AKs.

The AK's barrel is the last thing affecting it's accuracy. Mostly it's the crude sights and torque from the heavy gas piston.
Actually, the reciprocating parts of an AK weigh almost exactly the same as the reciprocating parts of an AR.
As far as I know, hammer forging makes it easy to turn out really good barrels cheaply. BSW
December 10, 2008, 06:47 PM
Well for hunting rifles it's all down to the manufacturer, you can get good, or crap, from either process. But no one ever won an F class match, that I know of, with a hammer forged barrel.
Hammer forging is one of those processes that the manufacturers like to play up as being a wonder process for producing super accurate barrels. But it's cheaper to manufacture which is why they really want to sell it to you. If they don't change out the mandrels often enough, or skimp on the quality of the mandrel the barrel will be so-so. And I don't want to sound negative about them, for a hunting rifle they produce fine barrels. But if you are building a match rifle then go for button or cut rifled.
And yes, I have been VP Manufacturing for two succesful companies, so I have a little knowledge about the process.
And just to add, I would go Savage. I did it myself so that it would be easy to change barrels if I decided I needed something different. My 12FV in .243 shot in the mid .3's out of the box with my handloads.
December 10, 2008, 07:52 PM
Hammer forging enjoys such a good reputation thanks to the Germans/Austrians and Finns. Steyr specifically, but Sako barrels are darn good too. It's the same reason that certain calibers enjoy accuracy reputations. Quality of the rifles and quality of ammo, not the "inherent" accuracy of the round.
In reality hammer forging is probably the cheapest way to crank out a bunch of barrels really fast.
Most likely you'll be happy with any of the three you mentioned. The Savage is intriguing due to the ease with which you can switch barrels.
EDIT: I don't know if the bolt buffered can be included in a direct comparison to the AK's reciprocating mass. It's isolated from the upper/receiver barrel so...
December 10, 2008, 08:47 PM
Hammer forging is a in-expensive, quick way of making a barrel. Marketing has taken a minus and made/sold it as a plus. Button rifling will usually be more accurate. However, there are no absolutes and any barrel, by any method may turn out to be very accurate. Or a dog. Just my opinion based on reading and owning a great deal of rifles. I think few of us will ever own enough, or shoot enough, or keep precise enough records, to prove it either way.
December 11, 2008, 12:24 AM
Hammer forging was invented as a super fast way to build MG42 machine gun barrels by the Germans, in WW2. 1200 rounds a minute burned barrels out pretty fast. I guess they can be good barrels. Personally, I'll take a Savage, so when I get tired of a boring caliber, I can slap a new Shilen barrel on it in 30 minutes.
December 11, 2008, 06:24 AM
Good info posted so far. I can't argue with any of it on principle.
I'll only add one detail as food for thought..... Go to ANY extreme accuracy shooting event such as BR, Long Range BR, Highpower X-Course, Highpower Long Range, Palma, F-Class, etc...... You will have to look a long time to find ANY rifle on the firing line with a hammer forged barrel.
When top accuracy is the name of the game the cut rifled barrel is King with button rifling running a very close second. You will find-see pretty much 100% of the serious competitors using these two types, with a higher percentage using cut rifled.
Hammer forged tubes are not even in the same ball park.
Garands forever

Guitar heads: shopping for a gift
A friend of mine is interested in getting a guitar for her grandson's graduation gift and asked for my help. She has yet to ascertain his overall musical preferences, whether to buy acoustic or electric, nor has she set budget for the gift. We have lots of time.
Still, I want to get ahead of the curve. I suspect her budget will be between $500-1000. I know my own personal preferences, but I want to get input beyond my perceptual blinders.
He has been playing a beater starter guitar for some time now, and it's nearly dead. She wants him to have a "lifetime" quality guitar to replace it.
So, what guitars in the $500-1000 price range- acoustic or electric- would you recommend?IAAL...and an MBA. No, really!

well the best so far would be redsteel. but the swordplay isnt so good. there is alos battle of the pacific, but it doesnt use motion control for the sword. you should wait for redsteel 2 which comes out next year.
Hi all,
We just got a Wii for the family for Christmas. So far the kids and I love it. We have played the heck out of Wii sports. I am now looking for a good game with logs of sword/lightsaber type play. Like a first person shooter, but with sword instead. Most sword games I have read about on gamespot and ign are not getting strong reviews. I would love to get your feedback on one you have and like. Also, if the game allows two players to fight that would be great, but single player is ok if the sword play is good. Hopefully that all makes sense.
Thanks for any input,

Yeah, I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for a good sword game to come out. I mean, it's a no-brainer!

Wait a minute Star Wars is coming next year with motion controlled light saber batles so i would wait for that elswise an unrealistic game would be dragon blade wrath of fire which soul calibur stole ALL its ideas from
liv buy a wii and play itMario strikers football Charged rulesEven do I reaaali suckpm for for fc (europe only)
Currently there are just a few games with swordplay in them, and all have their plus and minuses. Here are the ones I know about:
Red Steel - the game has swordplay but the mechanics weren't that great and the motion control, I thought, was subpar
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - a great game with great storying line. Unfortunately the sword fighting part is alot of just shaking the remote.
Lego Starwars: The Complete Saga - a really fun game to play with friends that runs through all 6 starwars episodes. Again, just like Zelda, swinging your lightsaber is more just a waggling the remote.
Soulcaliber - I have not had the chance to play this game, and heard that although it was fluid the game didn't respond as well, but thats only from what I have read
Dragon Blade: Wraith of Fire - if you want the best "realistic" swordplay game you can get this will be it. The graphics suck, the storying is horrendous, the gameplay can be repeatitive, but it fullfills that complete action "i am gonna kill everything" arcade style game. The boss fights had good mechanics though. The swordplay takes exact moves, swing left swings left, up swings up, etc.
So as you can see its what your aiming for. If you want a good rounded game, I say Zelda, if you want the most "true" swordplay out at the moment and nothing else matters Dragon Blade would be it, or if its more group fun (the other 2 are one player only), I would suggest lego starwars.
As people mentioned previously, Red Steel 2 comes out in 2008 which will hopefully fix control issues and improve, and in 2008 is Star Wars: The Force unleashed which is touted it will be "the" lightsaber game using the remote to its fullest. Plus you will be able to lightsaber duel in the wii version. If you can wait, I would wait for Star Wars: The Force unleashed.
I heard about that new StarWars game on E3 ,but I have yet to see it. The only game that utilizes the Wiimote as a sword so far is Redsteel. I found the gameplay to be pretty descent. Overall the game is fun and satisfying. Maybe you should give it a try.
Sonic's back with his old voice on Brawl, what more could you ask for.
Wii: Metroid Prime 3, Zelda TP,Sonic and The Secret Rings
Gamecube: Sonic Adventure Battle 2, Timesplitters Future Perfect, SSB Melee, Metroid Prime 2.
Virtual Console: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros 3,DK Country 3,Super Metroid.
PS2:Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3.
Thanks all for the feedback. It looks like I will maybe rent Red Steel and a few of the other and wait for the 2008 releases.

Filed under: Budget , Health
Updated at 2:50 p.m.: Bill will allow the expansion of Medical Assistance to continue, but will make changes to MinnesotaCare.
Lawmakers say the Health and Human Services bill is finished. But it's not available online yet. Lawmakers finished discussing the bill at a news conference a few minutes ago.
Rep. Steve Gottwalt, R-St. Cloud, responded to concerns that the public doesn't have enough time to review the bill before it comes up for a vote.
"There are not dramatically new things that will be seen in the bill," Gottwalt said.
The bill's release is being watched closely -- and for good reason. It's the largest section of the state budget. And it's been the source of sharp partisan disagreement for months, or years, really.
The GOP released a statement a few minutes ago saying the bill "leverages innovation and reform to make Minnesota's HHS system accountable, responsible and sustainable."
The statement quotes Senate HHS Chair Senator David Hann saying:
Our reforms have changed the structure of the HHS budget. We are now anticipating growth in the next budget to be less than 5 percent. The average forecasted growth in spending per biennium over the past decade has been 15 percent.
We'll post more details about the bill once it's available.

The new Government of Prince Edward Island website is designed to better serve residents and businesses by making it easier to search and find information in English or French from any device, anywhere, any timeall the time.
"I am encouraged that so many of us are wanting to make healthy lifestyle improvements" within the next year, Dr. Morrison said. I am hopeful that Islanders, with the help of public health, governments, other sectors, volunteer and non-government organizations can create more health equity for all".
Health and Wellness Minister Robert Henderson said the new cardio-pulmonary rehab program being offered in Charlottetown will be expanding to Summerside and Montague. Funding of $325,000 will be provided annually for three PEI locations when fully operational.
Prince Edward Islands first Youth Mental Health Day Treatment Program is another step closer to welcoming clients in August, now that key staff are hired and programming is being developed.
In keeping with the theme of the week which focuses on older persons, Minister Henderson announced a new seniors mental health team for Prince and Kings County.

WASHINGTON – President Obama's climate program is neither the bureaucratic monster that its opponents charge nor the savior of the planet that his White House portrays.
There is one great myth in the middle of the argument on global warming – it doesn't deal with whether man-made carbon dioxide is melting Antarctica. It is the underlying pretense advanced by the White House and environmental extremists that anything significant can be done at all to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions without the cooperation of China.
But in New York, Obama's climate posturing will goad green hardliners to ratchet up their opposition to the lifting of the moratorium on hydrofracking for natural gas and oil. That's bad news for New York households and businesses that are paying the highest electricity rates on the U.S. mainland. And it will keep the state's Southern Tier economy buried under the Great Recession.
First, Obama's critics, who claim his new regulations that restrict coal-fired power plants will only add to his personal sway over American business. He already has the official cadre to enforce these edicts in the Environmental Protection Agency. The biggest economic gain will be for the lawyers hired by the power companies to fight – with probable success – the Obama rules against coal-fired power imposed without benefit of Congress.
Another phalanx of Obama detractors includes those who say, with accuracy, that he is out to kill coal mining in this country. Well, he really can't as long as factories in Asia want coal.
The skunk in the president's green garden is the fact that the use of coal to generate electricity in the United States has fallen since 2004. The Department of Energy reports the use of gas in these plants rose from 16 percent to 26 percent because of market forces and EPA restraints already in place that curb dirty emissions from coal-driven generators. Overall, carbon dioxide emissions in the United States dropped about 11 percent between 2005 and 2011, according to the European Commission's Joint Research Center. Cleaner cars and trucks, increasing supplies of cleaner natural gas, and the continuing shift of smokestack jobs to Asia also played a role.
The commission reports that Canada's carbon dioxide product is unchanged in that period; France's is marginally less; and Germany has reduced its emissions about 20 percent. In last week's clean energy message, the president said he would use his influence to get other nations to reduce the use of coal.
Obama's thinking he can influence China on coal is plain foolishness. China is hell-bent on building new coal-fired plants. Its carbon dioxide emissions are already double this country's. Coal is a key to China's wealth.
China's per capita carbon dioxide consumption increased four-fold between 2002 and 2009, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency. American coal exporters are competing ardently with Indonesia and Australia to get China's business. American coal exports hit a record in March.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo delayed a decision on hydrofracking until next year by ordering a fresh study on its health effects. The bet here is the moratorium will remain in place through 2014 because fracking opponents are so well organized.
The extraction industry thinks in time that the opposition will fold in the face of the promised riches of joining Pennsylvania and West Virginia in fracking. That's unlikely. It's time for industry to put something new on the table to get New York. An industry indemnity fund should be created to ensure municipalities and householders against loss due to this process. Where the danger is small, the cost of premiums would be marginal. Where the hazards are great, the premiums would be too high to drill. It's called using market forces.

hello wapkap, Keep on keeping bro! Consider what you're doing a life style change and stick with it! I am 52 (holy shit!) and have lost weight and lowered my BP dramatically 145/95 to now 108/64. It's great you're addressing it now for me it was hard giving up my 3/4 micro brews a day, but I want to live 40ish more years bro! If I can do it I know you can, I've friends doing P90x asking me what the heck am I doing (while they're eating potato chips)!? It's almost hard to explain that it all starts with diet.
I've been pretty healthy my whole life but a gain in weight over the years and a diminished ability to scrap with the youngsters, has shown me that changes needed to be made in my life. I've totally embraced the Primal way of life. After several months I feel better, look better according to my wife and girlfriend (same person), and can put up a good scrap with dudes half my age (when you retire you're not really retired). Your trainer is probably hip to the skip but I actually consume double the fat intake over protein, super low carbs for the past month and am down to 175 from 205 lbs in Dec. 2012.
Wapkap, congratulations for changing your lifestyle! You won't regret it! You'll live longer and be happier bro! And you'll be able to look good scrapping with youngsters 1/2 your age. Don't stop! won't stop! Peace...5x

Ann Arbor police are investigating whether University of Michigan football star Taylor Lewan may have been involved in an assault the night after the Michigan-Ohio State game earlier this month.
Lewan has not been arrested and no charges have been filed in the incident. Police confirmed an investigation is taking place into the incident, but would not confirm any further details into the incident.
When reached Monday, Ann Arbor police declined to comment on the open investigation. Officials said two Ohio State fans reported being assaulted in that block on that night.
"Taylor Lewan was one of a large group of subjects spoken to by officers," a statement read. "No arrests were made and the investigation is ongoing."
Michigan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to call Detective Dave Monroe at 734-794-6930 ext 49308.

GULFPORT, Mississippi - Cruisin' the Coast filled every nook and cranny of downtown Gulfport earlier than expected Sunday morning. Though the View the Cruise event wasn't scheduled to begin until 2 p.m., Cruisers filled the main street by 10:30 a.m., and by noon almost all the parking spaces designated for the event were full.
"We've got everything plugged up," Len Krapcha, volunteer with the Mississippi Coast Watchers said.
Krapcha, whose club specializes in antique military vehicles, said the 16th annual Cruisin' the Coast started smoothly with smiling faces and 22 volunteers.
"It's easy when you've got good people just here to have a good time," said Krapcha.
Sandra McKiernan of Vancleave arrived at View the Cruise at 11:30 a.m. hoping to get a good spot for her 1955 T-Bird. McKiernan and her husband own 4 classic cars, and they've come to all 16 Cruisin' the Coast events.
"This is our week," said McKiernan. "It gives us a chance to enjoy each other's company, to talk about classic cars."
McKiernan is part of the Coast Cruisers team, and she said she looks forward to Saturday night's "megacruise," where her club will fill the parking lot of Edgewater Mall and give away prizes.
Curtis Smith of Porter Texas stopped to look at McKiernan's light-blue T-bird, and asked her how much it cost. After hearing the price, he exclaimed "You stole that car!" McKiernan laughed and told the story of how she found her dream car by accident in Gautier. "This is the car I've always wanted," said McKiernan.
Smith, who's visiting the Gulf Coast with his son and his parents this week, came in a 1960 T-Bird for his 4th year of Cruisin' the Coast. Smith began restoring cars with his father as a boy, and he and his son are continuing the tradition as they fix up a 1963 Falcon Ranchero.
"We love coming down here to look at all the beautiful cars, and getting ideas for our own cars," said Smith. Smith is excited for tomorrow's Long Beach Parade for cars 25-years-old and older.
The parade starts at 5:30 p.m. and will roll from Long Beach High School. Krapcha and his crew are also excited about tomorrow's parade. "It's not all work," said Krapcha.
He and the Mississippi Coast Watchers plan to parade through the Armed Forces Retirement Home on Tuesday.
Fold out chairs dotted with umbrellas lined the streets of downtown Gulfport as car enthusiasts gathered around their favorite vehicles on Sunday at View the Cruise.
Larry and Debra Reach of Mobile, Ala., spotted a car from their past on the streets of downtown Gulfport, a bright green 1953 Chevrolet.
"We actually owned one of these," said Larry Reach. "This was our transportation." The Reaches have been to about 6 Cruisin' the Coasts, and plan to come back next year.
A small crowd formed around Danny Davis' neon orange 1969 Camaro, as car enthusiasts traded tips and tricks for caring for classic vehicles.
"You're always working on them, tweaking them out, and getting them up to your standard" said Davis, who has been coming to Cruisin' the Coast since 1999. "It's just absolutely super. The cars, the people, the weather, it's wonderful."
Owner of a 1949 limelight green Mercury Allen Cole of Bay St. Louis thinks "this will be the biggest year yet," for Cruisin' the Coast.
Philip Jones of Baton Rouge, La., was looking at the "unusual" car, and said this is his first time back to Cruisin' the Coast since Hurricane Katrina.
"It's really coming back," said Jones.
Leon and Denise Hagwood wanted their 1981 Corvette to represent the spirit of the Gulf Coast. It's special paint job includes the Biloxi lighthouse, casinos, shrimp boats and dolphins.
Many folks stopped by took take photos of the car, and the couple even had offers from people looking to buy the car from them.
Danny Royals and his daughter Danielle stood roadside as cars poured into View the Cruise on Sunday, and took pictures of their favorites.
"This Sunday is the best event of the whole week," said Danny Royals. "It's perfect."

So there's this message in my voice mail I can't bring myself to delete. It's from Maui filmmaker writer-director Brian Kohne last week in Spain. He had gone there to show "Get a Job," which he had written and directed, at the Marbella Film Festival.
Brian said he was lost, literally, "doing what I've been doing since I got to Spain - trying to find something.
"I thought Hawaii was vague," he continued. "We tell people, you go down the street, look for the giant tree, when you see the dog, you're there."
But that still makes us master cartographers compared to how they give directions in Spain.
Luckily, "Get a Job" didn't get lost in translation, or subtitles. Out of the 1,000 entries to the festival, it was one of three finalists for the grand prize.
When it was announced as a finalist, Brian reported, the Spanish ballroom erupted into applause.
"It was like the Oscars, with little envelopes and all that." When it didn't win, there were a few boos, he said. Eric Gilliom, who stars in the film with Willie K, was in Spain with Brian to share in the excitement.
"It was a lot of fun, a great festival, great people," said Eric. People raved about the beach, he went on, "But for us, it was just another tropical place."
"So we didn't win the grand prize -but we were right next to it!" said Brian,with equal measures of surprise and satisfaction in his voice.
Rather than aberration, "Get a Job's" success doesn't feel like an isolated event. Instead it looks more like the tip of an iceberg, evidence that this is an auspicious time to be making movies on Maui.
We're not talking about Hollywood movies needing tropical locales like Frank Sinatra and Spencer Tracy's "The Devil at 4 O'Clock" in 1961; Julie Taymour's remake of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" on Lanai in 2009; Clint Eastwood's tsunami on Front Street for "Hereafter" early in 2010 or the Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston romp "Just Go With It" filmed at the Grand Wailea later that spring.
We're talking about a growing population of filmmakers who call Maui home and build their smaller, independent productions from the ground up here.
"Get a Job's" producer and co-star Stefan Schaefer just returned from the Hawaii International Film Festival on Oahu, where he reports his romantic comedy "My Last Day Without You" played to two sold-out houses and enthusiastic Q&A sessions.
Granted, that project written and directed by Schaefer was shot in his other home, Brooklyn, N.Y. But it was made by the same crew, led by director of photography Dan Hersey, who had filmed "Get a Job" on Maui right before shooting in Brooklyn.
And then there's Schaefer's recently completed "The Roundup," a 22-minute short. What's surprising and a tiny bit amazing is that a) It's a Western; and b) It was filmed on Kualoa Ranch on Oahu's North Shore, with pick-up shots at our own Haleakala Ranch. Turns out, Hawaii not only has a proud paniolo tradition, but is also a natural Western movie set. Who knew?
Not only does "The Roundup" feature stunning cinematography, gritty in one scene, stunning in the next, but its twangy classic spaghetti Western score was created by "Get a Job's" other star, the magnificently multitalented Willie K whose movie composer name is Willie Kahaialii.
"Willie's very good" reports Stefan. "I'm excited to use him on future films he seems fired up, too.
There's also a confluence of music and moviemaking in "When the Mountain Calls: Nepal * Tibet * Bhutan," the latest documentary by a Maui-based, Emmy-winning team led by Dr.Tom Vendetti. It has its world premiere along with a live concert Saturday, Nov. 5, in Castle Theater at the MACC. I'm a little biased about this project since I helped with the script, but you can read all about it in Jon Woodhouse's Maui Beat on the next page.
There's also been a flurry of activity coming out of the Maui County Film Office since Harry Donenfeld took over as its director a few months ago. Right now, he's looking for local haunted houses or Mauians with paranormal potential for the SYFY Channel series "The Haunted Collector."
Check the Shorts column on the movie pages for details, and watch for more announcements coming out of his office in coming weeks.
Then there's the Maui Film Festival, back in the MACC's Castle Theater with various screenings, leading up to the wonderful FirstLight series, which returns in November and December.
Festival director Barry Rivers notes that FirstLight has shown every subsequent Best Picture Oscar winner since the screenings began, often weeks before their national release.
Not bad for this little island, which, like some sort of tropical ingenue, seems poised for its big break.

I've got a pair of magpies nesting in a tree. I know that the blackbirds and the dunnocks were nesting in my hedge.
Will the magpies put off the nesters? Will the birds who come to my feeders be put off by the magpies being there?
Hi Lyndsey,
The short answer to both is, generally, no. Have a gander at this:
Hope this helps.
Sad to say but my experience of Magpies in a area means local nests likely to get eggs or nestlings taken.
Hello Sooty,
Sad to say but my experience of Magpies in a area means local nests likely to get eggs or nestlings taken.
Confirming that other species are not discouraged from nesting by the presence of Magpies, irrespective of local levels of nest predation! Q.E.D.
Well the Dunnocks and Blackbirds still have their nests in my hedge!!!
Magpies seem to be very territorial!! The BB Gang (my starlings) only have to land on any of my feeders for the magpies to attack. They also have a go at any feeding blackbirds. I've had to hide the mealworms I put out for the nesters under my hedge which has a sortof wire thingy that stops the magpies getting at the mealworms. The magpies also terrorise my ring necked doves but don't seem too bothered by the woodpidgeons? Odd or what.
My other birds now sneak up to the feeders by hiding in the shrubs and then darting out to eat. the only ones who seem to take no notice of the magpies is my robin pair who just carry on gathering mealworms for their young as if nothing has happened!!!!
Overall my garden is much much quieter since the magpies decided tht my tree was a good place to nest.
Hmmmm think I'd rather the magpies had nested elsewhere!!!
I wouldn't let it worry you too much, it's just a fully functioning ecosystem that you have. If you're worried about nest predation, then your "suplementary feeding" may well reduce the likelihood of this happening.
One interesting fact, that's rarely mentioned, is that vertebrate material only makes up about 11% of Magpies diet, including carrion! The figure falls significantly outside of the nesting season. The other 89% consists of invertebrates and plant material. Many individual Magpies may never actually predate a nest in their entire lives.
If you can get hold of a copy, have a look at Tim Birkhead's The Magpies (Poyser). It's a fantastic book.
All the best,
Fanks MC
I am actually a great beleiver in "natures way" believe it or not - its just i've put a lots of time effort and money into getting birds into the garden so am a tad down about the magpies. BUT they are interesting and I do enjoy them - its just I dont get to enjoy the others as well.
have found the book on amazon - good job I could get it secondhand!!!! Don't fancy £32.00!! Lmao
Update on the Magpies!!!!!!
Welll, they swoop down and terrorise offf any intruders into "their territory" including MY DOG!!!!!!!
However .........
The BB Gang (starlings) still come down for mealworms (see other posts i've got LOADS of live ones) but they do check out for the M'pies which is quie funny!!! The robins have gone but I do think they raised their young (they visited every 10 mins or so for mealworms and suddenly stopped so I think the nestlings fledged and the adults won't bring em cos of the magpies) but today i saw 3 robins at the same time so perhaps the parent thinks the fleglings are old enough not to be attractive to the M'pies.
She's definately nesting i saw them mate a couple of times ( no dirty comments please!! i couldn't help but see when they performed the "act") and she's about 2 weeks away from hatching if the RSPB book is riight about incubation periods.
The funniest thing is the Blackbirds - they have a pot of mealworms hidden under a leylandi hedge which the M'pies havent found YET!!! but I do have an uptuend hanging basket over just in case!!! BUT the pair collect for thier young, fly off to another part of the garden and start to look around VERY sureptisiosuly(?) and then DISAPEAR!!!! They are obviously trying to keep their nest a secret!!!!
The magpies are interesting I'm hoping to get some photos soon - I don't do photo's so am waiting on MGH to do his stuff!!!
