the Lithuanians Voice - Our New Server



We decided to make some modifications to our "Servers" here at "Studio A." Yes, Servers! We have three. One is an operating Machine, our original is a back up and the third has been used for extra duty, Acer.

.

Last night we shut down the "Ateitis" server / machine not realizing we cut off our web presence by doing so. So those that tried to see our new effort got an ERROR Message. This was painful on our very first day. We Goofed out of force of habit, we shut down. Our new roll as a Host was overlooked. The pains of "newness."

.To avoid this and improve the flow ACER was made the dedicated server and it would remain functional 24/7.

.So here is a new link to our other server : This is the latest version. We were testing various functions all day long. We may stay with our Audio and Video choice for the time being. It was important that our players displayed controls you could use.


.You will receive the same content as before uninterrupted - if there is any maintenance, we can switch servers.

.So, look forward to a new era of Lithuanian programming - and my apologies for any disruption last night.

.This website will be updated as new content become available. Don't overlook our regular resources at "THE LITHUANIANS.COM"

the Lithuanians Voice - Our New Server




Hello! Well, we are all excited about having our OWN SERVER and the potential freedom of HOSTING our OWN WEBSITE. Our only limits will be our imagination and creativity.


.Please follow the LITHUANIANS VOICE website as it grows and spreads beyond our present reach.


.If you are inclined, help with the support of our effort.




see the LITHUANIANS VOICE and its constant changes. We hope not to disappoint you. This will continue to be a "living effort" as in the past.

.

We look forward to the FUTURE

The Lithuanians: Baltic Freedom Day June 14


Proclamation 4948 - Baltic Freedom Day June 14, 1982
.
By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation
.
The independence of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia was extinguished in 1939 as a result of a nefarious deal struck between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Hitler handed Stalin the three Baltic republics as a bonus to secure his cooperation in the destruction of Poland and to obtain a secure eastern frontier which enabled him to launch war against the western democracies.
.
Subsequently, hundreds of thousands of Baltic nationals were deported to the Soviet Union where many of them perished in prisons and forced labor camps. The darkest day of that great human tragedy occurred on June 14, 1941, when their homes and jobs were taken by Russian settlers.
.
Today, some of the survivors of these mass deportations are citizens of the United States. Their aspirations for a better future for the peoples of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have helped to bring new meaning to our nation's commitment to freedom for all people. The United States has never, over the intervening forty-one years, recognized the forcible incorporation of the Baltic States into the Soviet Union.
.
As a nation, we remain dedicated to the furtherance and preservation of the fundamental human rights and freedoms of all people and take note on this special day of our hope that the blessings of liberty will one day be part of the national life of the courageous people of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
.
The Congress of the United States by Senate Joint Resolution 201 has authorized and requested the President to proclaim June 14 as Baltic Freedom Day.
.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate June 14, 1982, as Baltic Freedom Day. I call upon the people of the United States to reaffirm their belief and hope that the citizens of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia and of all nations will one day achieve through peaceful means the goals of democratic freedom and self-determination.
.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixth.
.
RONALD REAGAN
..
Sunday, June 14, the Day of Mourning and Hope
during which the Lithuanians remember
the mass deportations to Siberia.

Recipe - Smoked Eel Salad


Another recipe has been added to our library of recipes.

  • The Smoked Eel Salad prepared by Gustovas from Lithuania. He is an animated entertainer who hosts "Gustavo Enciklopedija" - Gustovas's Encyclopedia, a most informative and unique show.

The Lithuanians: Lou Marsh's Trip to Lithuania


Here is a journal I received from Lou Marsh, Ontario Canada about his trip to Lietuva / Lithuania. Most interesting.
.
.
Hi Raymond:
.
Just got back from a two-week visit to Lithuania. Thought I would pass along a few of my impressions
.
My first impression on arrival was the contrast between the sprawling inconveniences of Frankfurt airport with the very compact relatively new airport in Vilnius
.
On the drive in to the hotel, I was impressed with the involvement in 21st century technology, the lack of crass commercialism, the efforts at restoration and the neatness and relatively slower pace of Vilnius. The city was full of tourists, literally none from North America. The city, particularly the charm of the senamiestis [ Old Town], reminded me of other cities in Eastern [Central] Europe
.
For those who contemplate visiting Lithuania and are concerned they do not speak the language, it's irrelevant. Virtually everyone speaks English especially in larger cities and towns. Although I speak passable Lithuanian, almost no one, except some older Lithuanians in more remote areas on the Latvian and Belarus borders, would engage me in Lithuanian. They persisted in speaking English. I was told English is taught in schools from Grade 4 on.
.
Unexpectedly, I found the people rather laid-back. However everyone was courteous and service everywhere was quick and efficient. Food everywhere was good (as was the beer) and well prepared. The food was also cheap. We estimate we could get the equivalent of about three dinners with adult beverages for the same cost we had to pay for one similar dinner later in London!
.
We rented a car and drove throughout the country. Driving through the country, we found it green, neat and pretty.
.
I found rather surprising, what seemed to me a disproportionate amount of BMWs, Mercedes and Audis [NB: Equal to Fords in USA] on the road. I asked people how everyone could afford to drive such upscale cars. I got various answers ranging from, "they are cheaper here than North America"too ." Lithuanians feel they haven't succeeded unless they drive such a car"
.
One of my major interests was in the natural history of Northern Europe so we visited many forests. I was told 40% of Lithuania is covered by forests,which are spectacular. They are dense, with very tall trees, some being over 200 years old.
.
I expected at any minute to see a troll, gnome or even Red Riding Hood emerge from the woods. The forests and natural areas are well maintained, protected and well preserved.
.
I was interested too to see some relics of the Soviet occupation. These are the large, character-less, grey, largely abandoned structures of what I call "Soviet five-year planning architecture", dotted throughout the country.
.
A couple of collective farms of this era still standing and still in some use were impressive in their size.
.
Those stories you hear about "crazy" Lithuanian drivers. well, they are largely true, especially on the major highways. Not all of the drivers, but some. break every rule of the road, particularly driving at high speeds and passing under the most dangerous circumstances.
.
The 130 kph speed limit on the highways has fortunately been reduced to 110 kph in certain stretches but it usually 100 kph. However, the road system makes very little use of stop signs, preferring yield signs (where no one yields).In many cases traffic lights are usually mounted only on one side of the and at heights making them difficult to see.
.
As for stories you might hear about car thefts, break-ins, etc. and having to have your car guarded, we found or heard of none of those. Prudence of course, is appropriate, but we did not feel unsafe anywhere in the country.We often left our rental car in out-of-the-way places and had no problems.
.
Parking places in the larger cities, on the other hand were trickier to find.While the nature of drivers is legendary, I had not heard before of the"crazy bicyclists" which we found, particularly in Klaipeda. There, these cyclists, looking threatening and determined, prefer to ride on the narrow cobblestone sidewalks, at very high speeds. They will not slow down for you or let you get out of the way. If you see one coming you had best defer to them.
.
e enjoyed our visit very much, well worth it and glad we did it. Whether we go again or not is moot. If we do, we will likely make a more concerted effort to find my roots and track down relatives. So far it has been very difficult, time consuming and non-productive, even after being in locations where my parents were born
