"I requested that our wedding website be listed on the back and a proof was sent to me right away! They looked exactly how I wanted them to and they were so pretty! I got many compliments :-)"
"Wedding Paper Divas created a great product for us. all of my friends and family were impressed by our Save the Date. The customer service was incredible as well!"
"I was able to transform this save the date into something that reflected my fiance and I as a couple. Everyone loved them and complimented on how wonderful they looked. I told all my friends who are enegaged to use Wedding Paper Divas, they are amazing!"
"This Save the Date was perfect, as it really brought out the colors we wore during our engagement shoot. The printing was amazing, clear, and maybe even better than what you see looking on the computer. We also got it about 3 days early!! Thanks WPD!"
"Overall I'm very happy with my save the dates, the pictures looked better online then when it was printed but still very satisfied. Also, it was very worth the extra $$ to get the return address printed on the envelopes. Curving the corners makes a huge difference and makes it look much more expensive than it is. Delivery was supposed to be Wednesday, it was Thursday not a huge issue but still should be mentioned."

My visit was during a weekday lunch break, and I decided on a chicken, mozzarella and pesto panini and a pot of tea (I must be going native, my intake of tea since coming to the UK has been outrageous). After ordering, but not paying, they told me to take a seat, which I thought was unusual these days, but decidedly pleasant, as I got to perch attractively in their sunny garden terrace, rather than mooching about near the counter looking hungry. The only fault I could find was the time it took for my food to arrive. It's a pet peeve of mine, so I can't deny that I was clock-watching, and on reading their take home menu, they do recommend ringing to pre-order food during peak times (they shut around two, so I'm guessing anything from 11:30 is a peak time!). I'm quite open to that idea myself � it's got something of the VIP about it - I just wish I'd known beforehand. The panini was tasty with obviously straight-from-the-grill freshness, and cheap too, my lunch coming in at under a fiver. I can't begrudge the delay too much, though, because what it tells me is that I'm not the only one who fancies a bit of Gourmet Grub for lunch! 6 Railway Street, Chatham ME4 4JL 01634 409181 W MEDWAY 7 ow FILM l MAIDSTONE FILM SOCIETY Hazlitt Theatre, Earl Street, Maidstone ME14 1PL 01622 753922 MFS' 63rd season starts this month.

The film will again be screened in the Nave of Rochester Cathedral, which in itself is an amazing setting in which to watch a live performance: a setting which really lends itself to seeing something with a spiritual sensibility. WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND Set in a grim Lancashire farm community, three impressionable kids find an injured fugitive from justice named Arthur Blakey sleeping in their barn. Upon being woken by the children, the bearded criminal takes one look at them and exclaims: "Jesus Christ!" In their innocence they assume he is Jesus due to their sturdy religious upbringing and try to help him. `Whistle Down the Wind' was directed by Bryan Forbes and produced by Richard Attenborough and stars the wonderful Alan Bates and the equally impressive Hayley Mills. Mills' open face and honest eyes are persuasive, but she really needs the thick coat and bulky scarf she wears throughout the narrative and most of the other children in the cast are half as tall as she is. Hayley's real life mother, Mary Hayley Bell (who was married to actor John Mills for more than 64 years), wrote the play on which the film was based. This is a film showing how the children's innocent faith contrasts with the pragmatic and suspicious adults in the town. Lots of parallels are to be found, from the stable and the shepherds, to the disciples and "Peter's denial". Canon Phil Hesketh, Acting Dean of Rochester suggests that, "This classic British film from the 1960's with Alan Bates in his first film is heavy in Christian symbolism. It continues to delight and challenge us in equal measure." All in all this sort of event is just what cinema was invented for. The beautiful non-cinema setting is similar to early cinema screenings when theatres were utilised to show films. Its grand location is perfect for a film such as `Whistle Down the Wind', and hopefully this event will attract real cinema fans. The film will screen at Rochester Cathedral on 23rd September with doors open at 7pm. A complimentary drink will be included in the ticket price of �8 (�7 concession). Nick Walker will introduce the film at 7.30pm, with the film starting at 7.45pm. For tickets please contact the Cathedral Development Office on 01634 810074 or email email@example.com www.theothercinema.info W MEDWAY 9 ow PAINTER, POET, MYTHOGRAPHER: BILL LEWIS IS NO ORDINARY MAN: TRUE TO HIS M�TIER, HIS LIFE STORY IS MYTHIC IN ITS OWN RIGHT BILL LEWIS EMMA DEWHURST went to meet the artist on the eve of an exhibition of new works at The Deaf Cat Caf� William Edward Lewis was born in the early Fifties in the village of Barming, near Maidstone. The world was in recovery from the war and Barming was then a small, rural place. An only child, he has very little collective memory about his family, either imparted or gathered after the facts. "Someone once asked me why my stories are so strange and I said `because both my parents are fictitious'. As soon as I said that I realized it was true, because I couldn't rely on anything they told me, or told each other." The few facts Lewis does possess make fascinating reading. His father was a farm labourer, significantly older than Lewis's mother ("He was the same age as my friends' grandparents"). He spoke Romany, had an olive skin and a violent aversion to having his picture taken. Lewis remembers him pinning a hapless seaside photographer against a wall in Folkestone for attempting to take a snap and, years later, he attacked Lewis himself for the same. Also working class, his mother appears to have been even more elusive than his father. Lewis never knew her age and to this day is unsure of her real name: "She changed it to suit herself," he says. Lewis does know that her father drove a horse and cart which ferried beer, that she herself went into service as a housemaid and that she gave birth to her son two months prematurely. At that time his parents were living in an Anderson shelter in the middle of an orchard. The baby Lewis was placed in a manger ("Probably where I get my delusions of grandeur," he remarks.) It was an "untamed childhood". Together with his childhood friend Rob Earl, who would much later join Lewis as one of the original Medway Poets, he would wander the countryside from dawn til dusk. Lewis left school at fifteen with no qualifications and worked at various manual jobs, from warehouse man to apple picker to cleaner. But by his mid twenties an overwhelming desire to be an artist created an unbearable tension which resulted in a nervous breakdown. "I see it as a good thing that turned everything around," Lewis says. After a spell in psychiatric hospital and rehabilitation, and against his parents' wishes, Lewis applied for the Foundation Year at the then Medway College of Art and Design, which admitted him on the basis of a portfolio. There he met fellow artists Billy Childish and Philip Absolon, both of whom were influential. Women Cooking Maize, Masaya, Nicaragua. W MEDWAY 11 ow The Medway Poets became an entity soon after Lewis left the College. Initially just Lewis and Childish, they were joined by Sexton Ming, Rob Earl and Charles Thomson. It was Lewis who christened the group � they needed a name for readings and no one could agree, possibly for the same reason that the group disbanded five years later: "There isn't a room big enough for us all to be in at the same time." They are remembered to this day. "We actually started this whole Medway Scene," Lewis says. "We punched a hole in the wall for everything to go through � that and the fact that Billy Childish was doing his music at the same time." I ask Lewis which he considers himself to be foremost, painter or poet. He claims poet, although admits that "sometimes when I can't say what I want to say in words, the brushes come out." His paintings are full of fantastical imagery, stunning colour and dreamlike figures. They are redolent of the works of Marc Chagall or Frieda Kahlo, with more than a touch of magic realism. Indeed, reading Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude in the 80s gave his work a whole new direction. By this time he was married to Ann ("the best thing I ever did"). Together they went to Nicaragua at the height of the Civil War and a lifelong love of all things Latin American was born. Lewis spent most of the 90s touring America giving readings, leading storytelling sessions and continuing his remarkable self-education. He met and learnt from some of the leading intellectuals and literary figures of the day: among them Argentine writer Alicia Partnoy; poet and novelist Claribel Alegria, who became a life long friend and with whom Lewis performed his work both in Nicaragua and the USA; Sandy Taylor of the highly respected independent Curbstone Press and poet Carlos Rigby. Says Lewis: "When I was thirteen I had a bad dream that I was going to die. I still believed in God then, so I said to God: `I'm not going to die until I finish reading', so I have chain-read books ever after. From thirteen to fifty-eight I have read one book `lit' from another, so that silly superstition helped my education." Dovetailing with feeling burnt out by the US tours, Charles Thomson asked Lewis to join the Stuckists group at the end of the 90s. Founded by Thomson and Billy Childish, Stuckism has since become an international art movement. "At the time a lot of the Brit artists were doing things to get noticed, and we felt that was dishonest," he says. "We were against art as an exercise in formulism. We believed that authenticity was more important than originality." As a Stuckist Lewis's work was exhibited London, Paris and Berlin. Today the artist sides with the Remodernist movement, inclining towards a spirituality in his art. "A lot of my work is about the exile from one part of the personality from another... I think I have finally managed to make sense of my shadow. A lot of my paintings are like a magic mirror that I hold up and see something of myself in them that I didn't know about before." I ask him if he thinks that is something that art does for artists. "It does it for artists - but if it's good enough it does it for others as well." Bill Lewis is exhibiting new works at The Deaf Cat caf� from 5-18 September WOW Medway will be publishing a book of his poetry in the Autumn.

The artist list is impressive and includes Peter Blake; Diane Arbus; David Hockney and Andy Warhol.

Lord Robert Winston will be launching the programme, with a thought provoking insight into the relationship between science, society and religion. There are six more events worth exploring, including stand up mathematician Matt Parker in Your Days are Numbered and rock physicist Dr Mark Lewney, who provides a guided guitar tour through the science of music making in Music: An Explanation by a Guitar Hero. The magnificent Canterbury Cathedral provides the setting for the Opening Day concert of inspirational African gospel music by the Grammy Award winning Soweto Gospel Choir (pictured). The Trondheim Soloists, a dynamic young chamber orchestra, are back by popular demand, and saxophonist Jan Garbarek joins forces with the Hilliard Ensemble to explore the Cathedral Nave's acoustics. On the theatre front, Rebecca Vaughan's one-woman show about Elizabeth I, I, Elizabeth, comes personally recommended, and The Dark Entry is a specially commissioned site specific play based on a story from the Ingoldsby Legend, giving audiences access to secret spaces of Canterbury's King's School in a spine tingling promenade performance led by Thomas Ingoldsby himself. Highlights of The Festival's Opening Day include a Carnival Parade, and a stunning finale where � with a little help from the audience � there will be a sneak preview of All Hands, the new show by The World Famous, Kent's pyrotechnic experts. A dedicated Family Programme runs throughout, offering performances and workshops for and by children, including Street Dreams by local theatre company Little Cauliflower. For full details of all Festival events and an online brochure see the Festival website. Tickets can be booked online or with the Festival Box Office (Visitor Information Centre, The Buttermarket, Canterbury) on 01227 787 787 www.canterburyfestival.co.uk THE SEPTEMBER GIVEAWAY A chance to visit Canterbury during the height of the Festival! Canterbury Festival has kindly given WOW Medway two tickets to Night Light Theatre's new production of Romeo and Juliet for one of two performances at the Gulbenkian Theatre, on Friday 21 October or Saturday 22 October. The show starts at 7.45pm. (Tickets usually �16, students, under 25s �10). The production promises a unique blend of puppetry, live music and physical theatre, with the adult characters portrayed by a collection of painstakingly crafted puppets, developed and worked with over the course of the rehearsal process. The show is underscored by live modern English folk music. A reduced but original text brings the show in at 75 minutes, so there is plenty of time to have a wander and treat yourself to dinner at one of Canterbury's fine restaurants afterwards. To enter the draw, simply email the Editor at email@example.com or telephone 0845 388 2243, with your name, address, contact number and preferred performance date by October 1. www.nightlighttheatre.co.uk W MEDWAY 19 ow Your online guide to events and entertainment in Medway What's on 3 and 4 September, 2011 Medieval Merriment Will Adams Festival Great Lines, Gillingham. 7 November from 7pm 10 September, 2011 cluding entertainment from Heart 103.1 & 102.8 FM, www.medway.gov.uk/events Medway's biggest free bonfire and fireworks display, in- guy making competition and craft workshops (from 5pm). 25 September, 2011 Kites `n' Bikes Capstone festival: Black History Bonfire and fireworks Month October 2011 Great Lines, Gillingham. 7 November from 7pm 3 and 4 December, 2011 5 November, 2011 cluding entertainment from Heart 103.1 & 102.8 FM, guy making competition and craft workshops (from 5pm). www.medway.gov.uk/events Medway's biggest free bonfire and fireworks display, in- Dickensian Christmas whatsonmedway.co.uk

Kendall Square Research, Inc. Announces the Potential of Its New Green Cobra Street Light
LAS VEGAS, July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Kendall Square Research, Inc. (Pink Sheets: KSQR) announces the potential of its new energy efficient street light. Most of the highways, roadways and alleyways nationwide use inefficient Metal Halide or mercury vapor style lights for illumination. If 5 million 100 watt Metal Halide street lights were replaced with the new efficient 80 watt street light, the results would be a reduction of 963,600,000 KWs generating an annual energy savings of $77,088,000. The conservative rate of 8 cents per KWH was used for this cost savings estimate. The efficient light lamp has a 4 to 5 times longer life compared to the Metal Halide lamp, resulting in $2 Billion savings over 20 years in maintenance cost alone. In addition, most of the nation's intersections use 400 watt lights which could be replaced with 150 watt efficient lights that would produce the same or more light. This change would produce 3 times the impact of the 80 watt fixture.
Management said, "During the next few years, the commercial lighting switch over to the higher efficiency lighting alternative is enormous. Kendall plans to be a key player in this switch over."
About Kendall Square Research
Kendall Square Research, Inc (KSQR) is a Holding Company with targeted acquisitions in specialty equipment for residential home customers and green energy products. Luxury Kitchens Hoods LLC is the first acquisition. The second division of Kendall, High Efficiency Lighting, is a player in the commercial lighting industry with their product capability of reducing lighting energy by 50% in the nation's highways, roadways, city streets, parking lots, building lights etc.

Yes. Ninja's are hip again. Or maybe they were never un-hip? I don't know. All I know is that I used to love Ninjas (Yes, I grew up in the 80's) , and every time I walk through the office—someone is playing a clip from Ask A Ninja. Funny stuff.

The words of Kiuva Village elders saying Kiuva will slowly fade away still echoes in the minds of those who remain in the village.
National platform disaster risk management and climate change stakeholders visited the village of Kiuva to witness the effects of climate change on villagers and their valuable natural resources.
Kiuva Development Committee leader Waisiki Tabua said for many years they had to see their resources slowly erode which was a sad sight.
Mr Tabua said for many years the village of Kiuva had not been able to produce crops because of climate change effects on their land leaving ample land unutilised.
He said villagers had realised the importance of protecting the trees in the village and to conserve resources.

I am currently running the Freelance child theme at http://annuityguys.com and have become concerned about the potential impact of my Google rankings due to load times from the Android browser. My average load time for the major browsers is 5 to 7 seconds… but the load time for Android is over 37 seconds.
My concerns are that this will impact our rankings if we are not able to correct it.
Is this an issue that I should be overly concerned with? Is it a browser issue or a design issue?
Can I fix it without having to do a major site revision? Is there a fix to make the Freelance theme mobile accessible>
Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

Get rid of that slouch and see how people start taking you seriously. It has health benefits tooWhich of these two would you choose a person who walks with his head held straight, a firm gait and makes eye contact or one with a slouch, aimless steps and eyes gazing at the floor? Obviously, the first. For, be it a social gathering or a seminar, posture is one of the first things that draw attention to a person. If you walk in for an interview with confident steps and sit straight, chances are that you will be graded better.
Lends heightHowever intelligent you are, people around assess you with the way you conduct yourself. Remember the innumerable times your parents have told you to stand straight? That was not without reason. Keeping your back straight automatically lends height and builds up self-confidence, say etiquette experts. Only those with low self-esteem tend to slouch. Maintaining the right posture is important for good health too. As Lilian, a teacher, discovered the hard way. She suffered back pain for a long time before she realised her posture was the culprit. "I feel much better when I maintain the right posture. However, it is not easy to be conscious of posture all the time," she says.Dr. G. Balasubramanian, orthopaedician at Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore, explains that when we bend, the entire body weight is applied on the 30 bones in the vertebra. "The human spine is curved by nature. But, the pressure on the discs increases when our back is not straight. After some time, this develops into back pain." The problem these days, he says, is most people fail to understand the importance of good posture. "They don't care to develop the right posture. With a lot of medicines and treatment options available, many seem to prefer cure to prevention," he rues. Everything matters the way we sit, stand, walk and even sleep. So, never lean forward while walking. And, avoid standing on one leg. You have been given two, so make use of both. Bad posture can also result in etiquette-related disasters that might be difficult to set right. While sitting, keep your knees close together. In India, crossing legs in public is considered inappropriate. Remember that. And, never sit at the edge of the chair and lean forward that's a dead giveaway that you are nervous. And, don't sit in front of your boss like he is your friend. It is difficult to correct bad posture, but make an attempt. The results will be worth it. And, for those who lack the will to make a difference in their lives, the lumbar support chairs available in the market might be of help. These chairs assist you in keeping the spine in position. So, despite your not making much of an effort, it keeps your head held high!

And as an afterthought while I'm sitting here in front of the computer thinking about it, this thread could have definitely ended after three or four comments but when people give poor advice that will ultimately lead to the needless killing of a colony for some god awful reason a debate gets started and on and on it goes.
We the willing have done so much with so little for so long we can now do anything with nothing
If you think my advice is poor don't follow it. I am not looking for your blessing.

Man, it's getting real in this thread!
Almost like Whole Foods!
Do you even remember what you say in these threads? How can you not know what it is you're saying when there's a digital archive you can access instantaneously? Nope you didn't assume that at all? No, what you did was assure there would be a laying worker in 60 days then instruct the hive to be killed.
We the willing have done so much with so little for so long we can now do anything with nothing
A reference from another thread on what can happen beating a dead horse.What a mess. I weakened the other hives too much in my attempt to get the other hives new queens. I will not waste my time on that again. If they go laying worker, I'll buy new queens.

Here's the part Ace quoted, in context:
What happens when you beat a dead horse is you still have a dead horse, and a mess to clean up. A job for a "sanitation engineer"!

Samsung revealed its new flagship Blu-ray player at CES 2013, capable of upconverting content to 4K and a nifty reverse-AirPlay streaming-video feature.
Here you'll find a list of our favorite Blu-ray players, with a heavy emphasize on value.
So many deals, so little Monday! There's a monitor deal in particular you have to see to believe.
The Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray player offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.
The Blu-ray Disc Association today announced it has finalized what could be the last major disc-based movie format: Ultra HD Blu-ray.
Apple has banished Blu-ray from the MacBook and iMac because, it says, discs are "holding us back".
While its sealed-case limitations will turn off power users, Apple's least expensive Mac delivers a solid OS X experience in a compact box with similar performance to the entry-level MacBook Air and iMac models.
Ultra HD '4K' Blu-ray discs are due to hit the market at the end of 2015 with enhanced resolution, expanded color and more. Here's the 411 so far.
The Samsung BD-H6500 has emerged as the quickest and best budget Blu-ray player of 2014 in a series of speed and usability tests conducted by CNET.
The BDP-BX58 features apps, Wi-Fi, 3D, and even an HDMI cable. Only the warranty falls a bit short.
Integration with Mac OS X Yosemite and a fair price make Parallels Desktop 10 the best Mac system virtualization option, despite a confusing installation process.

Really nice
posted 6 years ago
I went to an event and had the winning bid on one of these. My dogs loved it! They loved I think the fact that it had the "sides." Comfy and cozy--and they felt kinda closed in and special in it--at least that's what I think! I know they getting in it for a snooze!
Pros: happy dogs
Cons: one bed--two dogs!

I hate unions.
In particular, I hate the teachers' union – probably more than any other union.
Having just received notice this past Friday from my health-care provider that my coverage is being canceled due to the Affordable Care Act, I have little sympathy for Philly public school teachers – all of whom don't pay a penny toward their monthly insurance premiums.
I've always supported the rights of the LGBT community so it's disheartening to see members of that same community embrace the type of smear tactics once used against them.
The ugliness emerged after three young adults allegedly attacked a gay couple on Sept. 11 on Chancellor Street near 16th. The full facts of the case aren't yet known. But that hasn't stopped a full out assault on social media in an attempt to "slut shame" and try the case online.
Calling them "faggots."
I support hate-crime legislation.
I support adding the words "sexual orientation" to the Pennsylvania hate-crime statute.
But I also support adding some additional protected categories.
Getting trashed has new meaning if you're an unpopular politician in Ukraine. Vitaly Zhuravsky, once a powerful member of former President Viktor Yanukovich's "Party of the Regions," was confronted by an angry mob outside of Ukraine's parliament, according to the UK's Daily Mail. Now a member of the Economic Development Party, Zhuravsky has engendered animosity among many citizens by sponsoring legislation to limit anti-government protests and criminalizing libel.
Protesters, screaming profanities, tossed Zhuravsky into a dumpster, threw a tire on him, and doused him with some kind of liquid.
This bizarre video was brought to my attention my local Realtor Fred Glick, who said that it's a "new way to handle a politician if you don't like them. Screw social media, this is the new wave!"
Tacky, crummy and low class.
Those are actually the nicest words I could come up with.
The "choice" words I really wanted to use are not suitable for Philly.com readers.
Is it fair game to sue the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women like equals?
That's the question that conservative talk show host Dom Giordano will be asking when he hosts a fitness test tomorrow at Andy's Diner at 505 Ridge Pike in Conshohocken.
The event, dubbed "Huff, Puff & Cuff," is based on the PA State Police test, and will feature men and women attempting to run "300 meters in 77 seconds, have a vertical leap of 14 inches, do 13 pushups without any time limit, and run a mile and a half in 17 minutes and 48 seconds," according to Giordano.
"Let me guess, you're calling to ask me about the unemployment," Rep. Chaka Fattah told a reporter, adding, "You're calling to ask me about Afghanistan."
Fattah's thoughts about the investigation into alleged improprieties? "I thought that it was another distraction from the major issues of the day."
Those were Fattah's words.
Could a corruption case surrounding a beleaguered Congressman's son and former aide/political adviser sink Democratic nominee Tom Wolf's chances to win the PA governor's race?
That's the million-dollar question several political insiders are asking right now.
While appearing to be a far-fetched outcome, the controversy surrounding 2nd Congressional U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah does have potentially serious consequences for others relying upon Fattah's legendary campaign day street operation for support.

Our police, which deal with such cases, too need to be sensitised. What plans does the government have on this front?The police need to follow all the protocols that have put in place. For instance, we need to ensure that a police officer investigating a rape case should not visit the victim's house in uniform. They need to protect her identity and that of the family. They also need to be sensitive in dealing with such cases. We have chalked out a training programme for the police officials who are in charge of the women's helpline.
Providing counselling to the victim is very important, but in many cases, this stops as soon as the trial begins. How do we ensure that this is a long-term process?Counselling is crucial to ensure a complete recovery path for the victim. We always keep a close watch on whether the victim is getting support. Right from counsellors empanelled with the police, the hospitals and our government, we ensure that she is given emotional help. But what is required is that this process continues for a longer period.
Does the government provide any financial help to victims?There is a comprehensive compensation scheme, which is in place to help the victim financially. A rape victim gets a compensation of Rs. 2-3 lakh within two months of the crime. In case of death, a maximum compensation of Rs. 5 lakh and a minimum of Rs. 3 lakh is also given to the family of the victim. A lump sum amount is also given when the trial starts.

RIDGWAY – County commissioners on Tuesday approved an $11.3 million spending plan that features no new taxes highlighted with a 3-percent wage increase for bargaining and non-bargaining county employees.
"The 2012 budget was presented to the public at our meeting earlier in the month," said Elk County Commissioner Daniel R. Freeburg. "We went into the public participation and review process, it's been on display online as well as physically in our office, and I don't believe we've had any comments on it."
With New Year's Eve nearly here, police will be out in force and on the lookout for suspected drunk drivers. Those who get behind the wheel after having imbibed one too many holiday spirits should know that under Pennsylvania's Implied Consent Law, they have already agreed to submit to a law enforcement-administered sobriety test if they are pulled over, something many people may not know.
Dr. Joseph H. Jones, 79, of Fort Myers, Fla., died on Sunday, Dec. 25, 2011.

C&M Arts is pleased to present
Julian Schnabel: Selected Paintings.
This exhibition comprises twenty-one
major works from 1978 - 2001
and will be on view from April 7 -
June 4, 2005. Julian Schnabel's
rise to fame began with his first
exhibitions in the mid-seventies and
early-eighties. Drawn to daringly
painted, larger than life images,
Schnabel's sense of the epic
continues to fascinate and provoke
a world-wide public.
Running from the early Plate Paintings to the more recent Big Girls, Schnabel's work remains
fearless in scale and structure. The paintings in this exhibition range from radical reformulations
of great themes of western art, as in St. Francis in Ecstasy, to poignantly tender portraits
like Mi Vida. The show will also include other noted works, such as The Sea, Ethnic Type
# 14, and the first plate painting, The Patients and the Doctors.
Julian Schnabel: Selected Paintings is accompanied by a catalogue with an essay by Robert
Pincus-Witten, who contends "that Schnabel's real ambition is the desire for an art that continually
asserts its authority, humanity, originality and beauty." This exhibition would not have
been possible without the close collaboration of the artist and his studio.
For further information, please contact Maureen Bray at the gallery via phone at 212-861-
0020 or via email at email@example.com.

If the definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results, the country's defence production policy has long been crafted in padded cells. It seems the Modi administration is set to change this. Its internal consultations regarding raising the cap for foreign direct investment (FDI) in defence shouldn't come as a surprise — the BJP manifesto had touched upon this explicitly, referring to FDI in "selected defence industries", as well as by inference in the context of allowing FDI in various sectors for job and asset creation — but it is heartening that it has taken the matter up so swiftly. Pushback from defence ministry bureaucracy is a given. But Modi and Arun Jaitley, currently holding the ministry as an additional charge, must show the political will — conspicuous by its absence in previous administrations — to push ahead with it.
The past quarter-century is testament to how the lack of this will has degraded India's defence capabilities. As far back as 1991, the Arun Singh Committee on Defence Expenditure had pointed out the obsolescence of the country's ordnance factories, recommended shutting down five of them and opening up various areas to the private sector. Nothing of the sort happened. A few years later, an APJ Kalam-headed committee targeted increasing the indigenous content of weaponry from 30 to 70 per cent by 2005. Nearly a decade past the deadline, the ratio remains unchanged. And while the government did open up the defence industry to the private sector in 2001, capping FDI at 26 per cent has meant that next to nothing has come in from foreign investors; consequently, the public sector continues to do the heavy lifting, and badly. The sum total of all this is a dependence on the import model that has created an enabling environment for corruption — from the Bofors case to the Barak, Tatra and AugustaWesteland scandals — and crippled the armed forces' modernisation programmes.
Without substantial FDI and the access to high-end technology it would bring with it, the Indian private sector is at a substantial disadvantage. The lack of control the current FDI cap would give foreign investors, coupled with policies that maximise risk and minimise the potential of appreciable returns — a three-year lock-in period for the investor, requiring government sanction for diversifying production, no purchase guarantee by the government — mean that buying in is simply not worth the stake.
The twin arguments that raising the FDI cap will compromise national security and prevent the development of the indigenous industry is rooted more in a muddle-headed sort of nationalism than logic. A higher stake makes it far more likely that foreign investors will follow standard global practice and establish production facilities within India. That, in turn, undercuts the main argument against FDI — that in times of crisis, foreign investors can cripple the Indian armed forces by shutting down their factories. If anything, continuing to depend on an international supply chain renders the armed forces substantially more vulnerable. Likewise, indigenous companies, particularly the public sector giants, have had decades to prove themselves. The protracted development timelines and various setbacks of the Tejas LCA and Arjun MBT projects — to name just two — show how comprehensively they have failed to deliver. If the domestic private sector is now to provide a viable alternative, joint ventures with foreign majors that provide the required resources and expertise are the only realistic way to go about it.

Apt Pupil (1998)
[last lines]
Edward French: You can't do this, Todd.
Todd Bowden: You have no idea what I can do!
Kurt Dussander: To have someone in your control. To have them know that they are alive only because you have not decided to the contrary. Do you have that power? Ask yourself. It's not an easy question. I think you know that.
Todd Bowden: You know this means we're through don't you? You won't be sein' me around here anymore.
Kurt Dussander: No?
[he starts to prepare drinks]
Kurt Dussander: I suppose I won't.
Todd Bowden: What are you doing?
Kurt Dussander: This is the end. Here. A drink. To our lives together. The beginning and the end.
Todd Bowden: I think you should fuck yourself.
Kurt Dussander: Oh, my dear boy. Don't you see? We are fucking each oher.
Kurt Dussander: Boy, be careful. You play with fire.
Kurt Dussander: [regarding the killing] We had opened a door and couldn't be shut.
Todd Bowden: All great achievements arose from dissatisfaction. It is the desire to do better, to dig deeper that propels a civilization to greatness. All of us have heard the story of Icarus, the young boy who took the wings his father built for him. Wings that were meant to carry him over the ocean to freedom and used them instead for a joyride. For a brief moment Icarus felt what it was like to live like a god, to touch the sun, to soar above the common man. And for doing so he payed the ultimate price. Like Icarus we too have been given gifts: knowledge, education, experience. And with these gifts comes the responsibility of choice. We alone decide how our talents are bestowed upon the world. This is our destiny and we hold it in the palm of our hands.
[Todd presents Dussander with his old SS uniform]
Kurt Dussander: Maybe I'll put it on and do a little shopping, is that what you thought?
Kurt Dussander: [seeing his SS uniform purchased by Todd] Mary, Mother of God!
Todd Bowden: What the hell did you do that for? Going to my school, pretending to be my grandfather? I was this close to turning you in!
Kurt Dussander: But you didn't. Didn't you like the way we put Mr. French on? I saved you from being suspended.
Todd Bowden: Well don't forget, I could walk right in there any time and pick up that phone!
Kurt Dussander: And do what? Do you really think that I would just stand by and let you turn me in without dragging you under with me? You American's self confidence is so bloated that you have forgotten the reality of the situation. 90,000 people died in that camp. To the whole world, I am a monster... and you have known about me. Go ahead, call the police. But just remember this: when I am caught, when those reporters stick their microphones in my face, it will be your name I will repeat over and over again. "Todd Bowden... Todd Bowden. Todd Bowden, yes that was his name. For months, almost a year, he wanted to know everything. That was how he put it... yes... everything."
Todd Bowden: You're crazy. They'll never believe you.
Kurt Dussander: It doesn't matter. And besides, lying to judges and reporters isn't as easy as you think. You have to be brilliant! Can you do that? I know I can. And in any case, do you know what such a scandal can do? It never goes away. Not for you, and not for your parents.
Todd Bowden: You can't do this.
Kurt Dussander: Boy the time for discussion is over. This is how it is: you are going to work. No more stories, no more ordering me around. You are going to spend weekends and all your vacations studying.

On the heels of negotiating the California budget crisis, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., made no apologies this morning for going against his campaign promise not to raise taxes.
"I made it very clear that I'm against raising taxes, and even today I hate tax increases," Schwarzenegger told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in a "This Week" interview.
"I also made it very clear that I will never sign a pledge that I will not raise taxes. Why? Because I said, if there's an emergency, I want to have the options to raise taxes if there's an emergency. Right now, you have to admit, we have a fiscal emergency."
Schwarzenegger was unequivocal that he would not raise taxes in his 2003 recall campaign against former Governor Gray Davis. But Schwarzenegger told Stephanopoulos that it was "absolutely not" wrong to make that promise. Pushed further and asked if he should apologize to Davis, the governor reiterated "no, absolutely not."
"There's quite a difference, because remember one thing: When the last time they had the crisis in 2003, nothing was accomplished. Now we have this crisis, we got the legislators together, the Democrats and the Republicans."
The governor went on to explain that "you do the kind of things that are right for the people, that are right for the state, rather than what is right for your party. It was not right for my party. The Republicans, the party itself hates it, even though I had other Republicans vote right along on that budget."
Asked if the Republican party should re-think its absolute opposition to tax increases, Schwarzenegger said, "I think that the Republican Party or any party has to always think, then you make a decision, 'Do I want to make a decision that's...best for the party? Or am I a public servant and have to serve the people, what is best for the people?' And in this particular case, in order to solve a $42 billion deficit, the only way you can do that is a combination of making severe cuts and also having some revenue increases."
Get George Stephanopoulos' latest tweets and reporting by following him on Twitter, Facebook, and George's Bottom Line blog.
To solve the $42 billion deficit the Governor brokered a deal based on severe cuts and revenue increases. Overall the governor said that it "could take years from now to get back to where we were."
Schwarzenegger also stands at odds with many in the Republican party for his support of President Obama's stimulus package. Several Republican governors have said they do not want to take the money, including Gov. Mark Sanford, R-S.C., chair of the Republican Governors Association. Schwarzenegger, however, said he would be happy to take any state aid that they turn down, a position that has raised eyebrows with many of his colleagues.
"Governor Sanford says that he does not want to take the money, the federal stimulus package money. And I want to say to him: 'I'll take it.' I'm more than happy to take his money or any other governor in this country that doesn't want to take this money, I take it, because we in California need it," Schwarzenegger said.

Palau Travel Guide
Located in the heart of the Pacific, the tiny island country of Palau is an untamed diving, snorkelling and kayaking paradise. Until recently, Palau's major tourist influx has been from Japanese, Korean and Chinese visitors, but more and more visitors from farther afield are starting to make the trek to the middle of the Pacific in search of pristine reefs, staggering landscapes, a rich history and a vibrant, hospitable culture.
Made up of over 200 forested rock islands that erupt like mushrooms from the crystalline waters, Palau's sandy beaches are hidden beneath dense vegetation. The island of Koror forms the core of island life and two-thirds of Palau's population live and work here. Right-hand drive cars tootle down the left-hand oriented roads, American-style diners alternate with Japanese influenced restaurants, and large charismatic locals try and convince sceptical foreigners to try the local delicacy of fruit bat.
Its location has resulted in Palau being home to some of the world's healthiest and most impressive UNESCO-designated reefs. Thriving corals swirl around the rock islands, their marine populations teeming with a bounty few other places can boast. Indeed, not a dive site list exists that doesn't rank Palau's Blue Corner amongst the top three sites on the planet.
Snorkelling and kayaking in Palau are also popular and provide the opportunity to experience the wonders of the country's sub-aquatic life. Shallow reefs, glass-like water and the sheer plenitude of marine life allow for incomparable aquasports experiences. And it isn't just in the tropical seas where strange creatures thrive, for Palau is also home to one of the most ecologically sensitive and unique evolutionary phenomena; Jellyfish Lake. In the murky waters of the lake, thousands of jellyfish have evolved, predator-less since they were cut off from the sea millions of years ago, their poisonous stings long unnecessary, and so, forgotten. To snorkel slowly amongst these gentle creatures is to float through an alien world.
While it's easy to see Palau's beauty, a closer look will reveal scars from the ferocious battles that took place on these shores. Ship and plane wrecks remain buried in dark lagoons, long-forgotten bunkers and their rusted machine guns dig into the rock islands. For Palau's modern history is tumultuous and has seen it swap hands from Germany to Japan to the United States. The strong Japanese presence during WWII saw it become an Allied target, and bloody and devastating battles ensued with great losses on both sides. Palauans voted, just 19 years ago, to become an independent state, and are today the proud inhabitants of one of the world's newest countries, albeit one with an ancient Pacific culture.
While Palau may be remote and untamed, it is precisely these attributes that make it one of the world's last unspoilt natural beauties. It stands as a living aquarium of healthy marine populations and vibrant corals, a proud and thriving Pacific cultural centre and a memorial to the battles once fought in these turquoise waters.

Would you be so kind and add error bars on your histograms? Either for the standard error of the mean or percentiles or confidence intervals. Boostrapping can make this very easy to implement.
