London Special 1: Keith Talent at year_06 art fair
AfN: This is an interview with Simon Pittuck the co-founder of Year_06, a London art fair. Hello Simon. When did you have the idea of organizing a co-FRIEZE fair event and how did the idea evolve?
Simon Pittuck: Well, what we've - as a London Gallery - we've gone through a number of satellite fairs in Miami, New York and a couple of other fairs like L.A. and we met a number of galleries from Europe and the US who where inquisitive of doing something when FRIEZE was going on. Primarily because there was a limited option of what they could do.
AfN: Because of limited space.
Simon Pittuck: That and you know Zoo is a very good art fair but there is geographical constraints. You know they have invited certain galleries this year from Berlin and L.A.
AfN: It is a British thing, the zoo.
Simon Pittuck: You know, obviously in the sense how its kind of evolved. It's evolved a kind of naturally that we've invited a number of galleries and we kind of invited them to recommend who's got the program. You know, who they think it's a kind of a interest and good. And those kind of things. I suppose kind of how it evolved was obviously: people wanted to do it. Good galleries from the United States and New York want to be ...
AfN: Want to do it.
Simon Pittuck: Yes, want to do it.
AfN: You have a gallery called Keith Talent and you are publishing a magazine called miser & now. And now the fair. Why all that effort? And isn't it better to focus?
Simon Pittuck: I suppose ... I don't now.
AfN: You don't know.
Simon Pittuck: I have never considered that. You know I think, there is different things by doing this. The magazine raises the profile of the gallery and the artists that we show. Primarily the main concern is obviously the Keith Talent Gallery. The magazine in a certain sense is just something of why, the justification of that, and the concept of the magazine is for kind of artists. For people who work within the cultural field but not necessarily the visual art. Discuss things that kind of form their practice one way or another. So, it's not a kind of critique.
AfN: It's a platform, if you want.
Simon Pittuck: Yes.
AfN: So, you are a platform provider. So, it is focused if you want.
Simon Pittuck: Yes.
AfN: You have been at the Aqua Art Miami. I personally liked the venue a lot. And you have been the only British amongst young western US galleries, with a fresh taste. What is your opinion on that? On the Aqua.
Simon Pittuck: Aqua, Jaq and Dirk. Obviously, they are a kind of similar. It was similar, wasn't it. They wanted the galleries from the west coast to have a kind of arena, a kind of voice in Miami. When the Basel fair is on. Actually, we've done a show with Cynthia Broan in New York and a couple of reviews. They saw that show and then invited us. We wanted to go out to the United States to meet people and also to situate the gallery in an international context rather than a localized one.
AfN: Why did you only invite one other British gallery at your own fair whereas the other events like frieze, zoo and even the scope are much more focused on British galleries without loosing the us and western Europe?
Simon Pittuck: It has been three months we organized this. So, a short period of time. And also at the same time, we did not want to have any conflicts.
AfN: With Zoo.
Simon Pittuck: Zoo, they show very good galleries from the UK. And we've assumed that they will be doing that and we not.
AfN: You are doing something different.
Simon Pittuck: Yes.
AfN: The fair "year_06" makes a very good expression to me and there's an astoundingly number of great art to see? How did you manage the selection process?
Simon Pittuck: Again. It was very fortunate. We worked with some very good galleries. We where just in dialog with the galleries and asking them about what they want to do in the show and what possibly kind of rooms they would like. And then it forms like that.
AfN: It was not like in usual fairs?
Simon Pittuck: It was discursive.
AfN: Peer-to-peer.
Simon Pittuck: Yes. You want the galleries in a sense to be able to show art in the context as in the same way in which they show at a gallery which has made them at that specific level. You know what I mean? Whether it is working with a kind of an architectural nuance - this building. There are constraints but also freedom that they can use the space imaginatively to show their artists work.
AfN: What is the secret of taste?
Simon Pittuck: I don't know what the secret of taste is. All I would say is that, I is quite interesting to see art not always in a kind of white box. It is often after that, it ends up elsewhere, whether that be a domestic space or a room in which one kind of occupies.
AfN: So, it has also something to do with let go? When you let loose?
Simon Pittuck: It is like architectural nuances. You know, features outside...
AfN: Sometimes it is appealing, like this fair, for example. Another time it is boring.
Simon Pittuck: Sure.
AfN: Is this intrinsic or born or a gene. What is it? ... Because, we are coming around a lot, and some fairs are not so good or some shows and others like this one. I was really amazed, yesterday. Maybe it was because I did not expect it. So, it can only be better. But on the other hand as you said there is a network. But, how does it come that this has this certain ... I would not speak of level. I do not like the word of quality in the arts to much because everybody talks about quality. High quality, low quality. I see it more in the question of taste.
Simon Pittuck: Again. There is a very good platform of galleries, who are showing quite vibrant, quite funky in a very professional manner. It doesn't have to look quite of little bit ...
AfN: Trashy.
Simon Pittuck: Trashy. You know it can have that kind of element but it is still performed or shown in a very professional manner.
AfN: That is the secret.
Simon Pittuck: I think so.
AfN: The professionalism behind it. In the approach.
Simon Pittuck: Yes. Very much so.
AfN: Something about the future? Are you planing more of such events? And if so, nearly every fair has a body of partner galleries they invite every year. For the frequent visitor it gets boring to view the same taste over and over. How will you cope with that?
Simon Pittuck: The idea of calling it "year 06" primarily was that it wouldn't be geographically situated. So that it could possibly shift. The thing is that kind of network tries to possibly include other European galleries. We've got Jeff Gleich from g-module, I mean I know him and maybe next year having a conversation of getting a few more galleries from Paris and there is also Gallery Jarmuschek und Partner, who do the preview Berlin. And you know, we are kind of working together but obviously they are trying to get maybe the Preview Berlin with a strong stable of UK galleries next year. And then kind of vice versa. Asking and kind of helping us getting good galleries from Europe.
AfN: So, it is a evolving, revolving networking process. You mean, you can avoid what has happened to the big fairs. Maybe also with FRIEZE, with Basel or Art Cologne. You go there and you almost know what you will get. You don't know the unique piece of art it is like going to Mercedes or BMW.
Simon Pittuck: I figure that the FRIEZE and those kind of things they are the high end. The thing is that the voice that should have been heard are the emerging, the younger artists. If you want to purchase something than you know which gallery to go to purchase it. I suppose it is that thing isn't it. Whereas if you not necessarily know ...
AfN: What you want to purchase.
Simon Pittuck: ... some of the artists. Cause that they are young or that state in their career. And then obviously these pieces of work around that fair are familiar. But that is the thing I suppose that people hopefully want to be excited.
AfN: Or hunting or adventure, if you want ...
Simon Pittuck: Yes. Obviously, collectors do want to buy emerging artists!
AfN: Simon, thank you for the interview.
Simon Pittuck: Thank you very much.

hello world.
Guess what??
Mom took little Oar-eo to the vet last week and you wont believe it...
Oar-eo is a BOY! He is my brofur, not my sisfur. MOL
Its okay.
i love him all the more!
Mom is going to make a page for him very soon...*glares at Mom*
She promises as soon as she gets some good shots of him, he will have his own page.
Thanks Mom.
Hello world...its me Lizzy.
im sorry i havent written but my Mommy has been furry busy since the last time i got her to write for me.
Last night i was just finishing off my dinner when i heard the zipper on my house open. What? im already eating...what does Mom want?
Before i knew it i was joined by 6 furry wetandscaredandhungry kittens!
Hmmmmm. Do i know you guys?? Why, yes, i think, um, i think i left you behind in the wall about a week ago...yes it is you!!
i was joined by my 5 sisfurs and 1 orange brofur!
Hooray!! How did this happen... im sleepy, i will let Mom tell you...
Lizzy's Mom here~
Last night 6 kittens came out from under our landlords house...we've been expecting them, and there they were. So, with the help of my husband and friend Margaret, i made ready the bath water and towels and blankets...one by one they brought them to me. i bathed each one and wrapped them in towels and put them in a carrier for their trip inside.
We took 5, but left the friendliest one behind in case there were more. (This morning we grabbed her because there were no more).
They all made a kitten pile once in the dog crate with Lizzy. i made them some food...their FIRST meal...awwww. Within minutes the food had disappeared! Hungry little monsters they were.
They spent a restful night with Lizzy and this afternoon, we took 5 babies to the New Rochelle Humane Society. They didnt have very many kittens, so we have all our paws crossed that they will find their furever homes quickly. They were all so precious. We wish we could have done more, but with Lizzy and now little Oreo, we are FULL...seriously.
The twist in the story is this. We have 2 females that had litters around the same time. Sadly, our tuxedo Oreo, born with 3 feet, was killed on July 21, leaving behind her kittens so Mama, our Calico girl, took over their care. Mama is constantly outdoing herself in our book. She amazes us...and she is 10!
We are sad that our babies are gone, but we know we gave them their best chance at the best life possible.
Bye bye babies...i will never forget any of you...their page will be coming shortly.
im BAAA-AAACK.
So yeah, thats what happened!
5 babies went to find their furever homes and me and Oreo are hanging out together. i have to show her the routine around here.
im not going to tell her, but i bet she will be going to the v-e-t tomorrow!
nighty night,
Lucky Lizzy
(and Oreo, till she has her own page)
Hello world...
My new Mommy is now a new Mommy to 6 more kitten!
Some are my litter mates, and some are from Mama, the other female outside.
Today Mommy fed me my nummy dinner and then went out to feed them outside when kitten after kitten came out from under the landlords house.
That means i have more in my litter from my mamacat Oreo(RIP) and Mama has some of her own and she took care of ALL of us.
i was a bold little girl and made my way out sooner so here i am inside with my new loving furmily.
The others arent so lucky.
Mom says we are FULL UP.
i ate...im FULL UP too...heeheeheheee.
No but really Mom is beside herself with worry about these other babies.
Tomorrow she will round up as many as she can and find someplace to take them.
If anyone is near us in the Bronx NY and would like a liddle kitten, please paw mail us.
Mom will try to get pics soon, but these guys are fast!
Oh, i almost furgot...i got another heart yesterday from Raven^PAWS^.
She said:
"You are still as cute as you were yesterday, and the day before. We lubs you!!! We are coming over to hug you. Kitty hugs...Ravie, Sasha, Eva, Livvie, Missy, and Chasie. Purrs, Ravie"
i really am the LUCKY one....im sad for all the others outside...
Please, if you are reading this and need a kitten, please paw mail me.

Date of Stay: February, 2009
We stayed at this fun campground. Very, very safe for 55 and over. Very clean with all blacktop roads. There are long pull thru sites with tables at your door. You can wash and scrub your RV. Guess what, nobody complains!!! Off I-95 in Dillon. Everything handy. Great waffle house nearby and clean to enjoy.
Date of Stay: December, 2008
A nice park well staffed with helpful people. It has wide spots for big rigs; clean baths and laundry. It is safe and quiet at night. They have fun crafts. There is good food at club house (especially the chili). We will stay next year.
Date of Stay: December, 2008
We stayed there three days while visiting friends. The staff was very helpful.

We offer observations on the human condition from a 23 year old mind trapped in an 83 year old body.
I wonder if God has a psychologist to consult.
Floods come across as beautiful unless one is in them.
Always take a shot, the NRA will ensure you get another one.
Believe in self to believe in others.
Ah, if I could only return to the future.
Some only achieve being themselves.
To know that I am ignorant is a sign of intelligence.
Some have no idea they have no idea.
Most modern students believe in LAW–least amount of work.
American generals no longer die in battle, they die as guest commentators on TV.
In the end there is only "I" not We.
Be an explorer of life.
Long time since I heard, "straight and narrow path."
A human must live in the solitude of own mind.
God is a whisperer.
We are all prisoners of the past.
Some must contemplate the decision to bite.
Some feel proud they cleaned off the table before departing.
I never forget to pick up the penny, one never knows.
The child lives in today, the adult in yesterday.
I prefer the sound of coins to paper.
Child loves to dump trash, sign of growing up.

The Maui Film Festival is so much better than the Hawaii International Film Festival. The venue in Wailea is world class.
#2 Jun 24, 2009
HIFF is not the great festival it was several years ago. The selection of films last year was dismal.
#3 Jun 24, 2009
well said
#4 Jun 24, 2009
Yes! When NIFF eliminated the four Hawaiian Panoramas it the right to call itself a truly Hawaiian Film Festival. As well as a potential $16K in revenue.
#5 Jun 24, 2009
too expensive for me
#6 Jun 25, 2009
Well this is a great opportunity to get back to script work on Moby Dick versus Jaws the hundred million dollar spectacular being developed for filming in Hawii as soon as the financing is nailed down.
#7 Jun 25, 2009
The first thing we need to clarify is the character of Quint who of course was consumed by Jaws in the original movie. This Quint is the original Quint's grandson even though he will be referenced like he is the original for this movies purposes. That of course will include him having gone through the Indianapolis tragedy at the end of WW2. Through mystic channeling and sublime introspection this Quint the third will come to believe and will even act like he is the original Quint.
#8 Jun 25, 2009
As for Moby who entered this movie from the trenchant posting to an earlier message board by a Star-Bulletin online reader, his role is as central to the movies marrow as Lincoln was to the civil war. He enters from Mr. Melville's classic book as an angst ridden outrider on the panoply of histories discordant ironies. He is at once charismatic, petulant, and cosmic as he evolves into rescuer, redeemer, and conscience of the vast realms of the oceans blue.
#9 Jun 25, 2009
Give me a break! The big blubberball as superman? You have got to be kidding! Wait till I get my first toothy chomp out of the swimming titan. Then we'll see how big a floss bill can be and also how the great white leviathan deals with adversity. By the way my agent say's Eddie Murphy is very interested in being in this extravaganza. Eddie sees it as a bridge between SNL and A Clockwork Orange. He only wishes Kubrick was still alive to direct it. He is very happy to have Eastwood on board however, and I'm very happy to see the Pale Rider running things too.
#10 Jun 25, 2009
Well Jaws is running wild, so what else is new.? We need a steady state economic system for humankind to live with so they will stop killing whales for convenient food. The whale world has this wonderful communications abstract. We believe that eventually all life forms will be of both spirit and physical form with the ability to go back and forth at will and to change to a different species and back again also at will. Space flight around the Universe will be as common as a trip to the corner grocery store, and just about as fast. This wondrous age will be coming soon and it will be more wonderful than anyone can imagine. All your deceased love ones will be back and all adults will be 25 years old forever. You could be a whale one day, an eagle the next, and a human the next.
#11 Jun 25, 2009
In the mystic woods, in the oceans deep, in the valleys wide and the mountains high, the wind is beginning to move with a subtle breeze. We cannot see the wind but when it brushes our cheeks we believe it exists. There is something to this idea of a transformation. Only as the eagles fly does the wind reveal it's time. Look not for the messenger for it is not the messenger who is important. For we are all ultimately messengers.
#12 Jun 25, 2009
Oh great, the big blubberball thinks he has a message for everybody. I'm going to channel the spirits of Mr. Harriman and Mr. Anderson and really find out what's going on here. Yes those were clues. Moby keeps hinting that TF is Midway.I wish the big blubber pile would just say what he means and get this movie underway. I can only take so much melodrama and I'm calling my agent again! Mike said to tell you hi Alice.

On the shark chasing boat Dryfuss is getting impatient with the convoluted love triangle, the concern over Jaws and the seeming inability of some of the most capable shark fighters in the world to come up with a competent linear strategy for either capturing or taking out the marauding people chomper. He thinks back to his college days and the battle with Jaws grandfather, how it had been like a test of both character and brawn. Now he knew he had the internal forbearance to succeed with this new menace but was it even remotely rational to try and capture this version of Jaws for both research and a possible tourist attraction?
#15 Jun 26, 2009
Meanwhile this 60 ton great white, the biggest of his type by far ever seen began to head for Honolulu from his Midway lair. The big shark boat was positioned to intercept, and Moby was also waiting for another rondezvous with destiny not unlike the titanc struggle with the relentless and complexly charactered Ahab and his wavering minions. Moby had won that battle and he was confident he could prevail here. He had destroyed the myth of the superman and now he would slay both the myth and the legend as well as the physical being of this gigantic shark.
#16 Jun 26, 2009
Alice, do you still fear land sharks more?

If You Forget Everything Else – Hit the Mark — 7 Comments
We have just discovered the site, Hit the Mark SS crouching. Thank you for having such insightful and useful tips. It is so important to have inspired and active Sabbath School programs. This time of focused study of Gods word is vital to reaching everyone with the good news of His coming and how to be ready to partake of the reward. Thank you.Amen!(10)
When I read these lessons, they seem to come alive as though I can see what the writer is saying. Thanks for encouraging and inspiring me. I needed this.Amen!(3)
Thank you so much for these useful tips for improving our attendance for Sabbath School. I have noticed that the attendance to Sabbath School is dwindling especially for the young adult population.

Castle Trust Group has launched a QROPS in response to strong demand from individuals with pensions valued at less than GBP75,000. The Equus Silver Retirement Annuity Trust Scheme, managed and registered out of Gibraltar, has now been added by the HMRC to its official list of recognized QROPS.
What are the QROPS in simple terms? These are the schemes that have been designed to simplify the tax affairs of UK residents wishing to reside elsewhere. To assist with the process, the UK tax law provides tax-free treatment of the transfer of pension schemes to qualifying overseas vehicles.
Castle Trust's initial Equus Retirement Annuity Trust Scheme, launched in 2009, has been one of Gibraltar's oldest HMRC listed QROPS. Equus Silver scheme is the firm's second issue offering an equal low cost to set-up and annual management fee of GBP299 to attract those with smaller pension assets.
Steven Knight, Castle Trust Group Chairman, explains the appeal: "This new QROPS aims to make the management of pensions as simple and inexpensive as possible without compromising on investment choice," providing more than 1,000 funds in various currencies.
He adds: "It will particularly benefit people who have lower value portfolios that otherwise would adversely suffer from high minimum professional charges on the management of their pension. At this level, Equus Silver is directly comparable with the cost of providing a UK Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)". A number of investment bonds, such as issued by Generali, Skandia, Royal London 360, and Friends Provident International, can be particularly suitable for retirement portfolios of this level.
Looking at the Gibraltar jurisdiction as a whole, there has been a strong demand across the board for QROPS managed out of Gibraltar. There is the security of a 2.5% tax rate that is comparatively low as well as a sensible approach to determining distribution levels. In addition, the Gibraltar pensions sector is making an effort to retain and enhance its international reputation including the introduction of new restrictions to prevent transfers to jurisdictions that do not maintain sufficient anti-avoidance standards required by HMRC.
Interested to know more about the benefits of the QROP scheme? Get in touch with us to assess your eligibility and learn about various pension portfolio options that might be available to you.

Application for funding: "The GCSB - a comedy-drama in six parts."
Think The Wire. Think Johnny English. Think The GC, but with added BS. The GCSB will make for thrilling, rambunctious, and wildly funny viewing. This is the kind of television you watch through your fingers.
Episode 1: "Billy Big Steps"
"Have fun on your day off. Hope Dotcom goes down!" cheers a staffer at the Government Communications Security Bureau in an email to the police. Inspired by this encouragement, and rested from a day off, the raid on the mansion of the idiosyncratic German internet tycoon amid the rolling pastures north of Auckland is a real blast. We'll spend most of our budget re-enacting this.
A few boring bureaucrats raise questions about the legality of the GCSB's Dotcom surveillance, given the law expressly forbids them from spying on New Zealand permanent residents.
This puts a real downer on things. But only briefly. "We are all very happy that no breach occurred," comes the email from the supercop agency Ofcanz, "and we can go back to celebrating taking down that criminal mastermind". Party on!
Episode 2: "Yeah, nah"
We flash back to the Prime Minister dialling an old cobber from school. There's a job going, he says. It's awesome - check out those giant golf balls down in Marlborough. Cojones! He adds a joke about sauvignon blanc and global grapevines. "I'm sorry," says Ian, "who is this?" "It's John," says John. "I know you work in local government in Queensland, but you'd be perfect. You've got one of those forgettable faces."
Cut to a lot of people walking down corridors in buildings to establish that the GCSB wasn't allowed to spy on Billy Big Steps and his pal Bram van der Kolk after all. The camera comes to rest on the agency logo: "Mastery of Cyberspace".
Episode 3: "Mystery of Cyberspace"
In a bold stylistic departure, a mock-documentary explores another of the GCSB's specialities: advising government departments and agencies on information security through its NZ Information Security Manual. A voiceover (we're hoping Jaime Ridge is available) reads the introduction: "Effective information, systems and cyber security is fundamental to the management of many of the challenges facing government, underpinning public confidence and vital for the effective, efficient and safe conduct of public business" - as the camera sails through the foyers of places like the Ministry of Education, ACC, EQC, the Ministry of Justice. The ep concludes with a killer punchline: the Government proposing a massive pan-ministry "data hub".
Episode 4: The Kitteridges
The report into GCSB compliance is released, finding that, apart from Dotcom and his pal, 88 others might well have been illegally spied on. The word "oversight" appears 35 times in the report, the inference being that it would be good to have some of it, from the inspector general (we're hoping to approach Susan Devoy for this role) and the elected politician responsible ("the performance of the bureau's functions is subject to the control of the minister," reads the statute). Approached by a posse of knuckleheads, the man entrusted with public scrutiny of the GCSB asserts that he and his predecessor have repeatedly proved their commitment to oversight. There have been countless oversights at the agency. And should you really be getting so worked up and serious about a piece of legislation that took effect in 2003 on April 1, he adds with a wink, before dashing away to the opening of a Beijing pizzeria.
Under questioning in parliament, the deputy Prime Minister sprinkles talcum powder on the floor and delights the public gallery with a first-rate head-spin.
Episode 5: "System error"
"Systemic failings," says the Prime Minister. "Systemic problems," says the man with the forgettable face. "Systemic failure," says Kate Wilkinson, waving the Pike River report. Systemic failure is about as serious as it gets, goes the voiceover. Much too serious for anyone to be held responsible. But will there be sanctions for this apparent illegal spying on New Zealanders, ask the knuckleheads? You bet, replies the Prime Minister. We will sanction this behaviour by changing the law so that they can crack on with it.
Episode 6: "Heads roll"
Prime Minister John Key calls the minister responsible for the GCSB, John Key, into his office. (Hoping Weta Workshop may help with the special effects). Key stares meaningfully into Key's eyes, and places a statement before him: "Minister steps down". At the top of the page, the name "Kate Wilkinson" has been scrawled out, and replaced with "John Key". It reads: "This happened on my watch as minister ... I feel it is the right and honourable thing to do."
Note: Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Except when it's not..

Make your drawings come to life
March 14, 2013 Leave a comment
3 Doodler is a new kind of pen that will draw in 3D. It will allow users to create sculptures or designs in 3D, either by drawing free hand, or by tracing sketches on paper then 'welding' the pieces together.
Currently only available by backing the project on Kickstarter for $75 or more, the pen uses 3mm ABS or PLA plastic as its "ink", which is heated and cools quickly to build solid structures and shapes.
Although there is not a date for general release, nor a suggested price, from the Kickstarter page we can see that the lowest price they ask is $75 and the upper is $99, with plans to dispatch the finished product in February of next year.
To showcase the capabilities of the pen, the makers, Pete & Max from Wobble Works, worked with some wire artists on Etsy to create some special pieces and templates for backers.
The 3Doodler has seen a lot of press since it was made public and the project has received almost $2.1M in funding, 70 times more than the $30,000 goal.
Find out more on their Kickstarter page or watch the video below.

I LOVE the washed out walls in contrast with the bright pop of color the dress adds. Fashion as art...always a good idea in my book. Oh, and if you're still in need of a little sunshine, I've got plenty over here I'd be happy to give away!

Chandigarh, Jan 1 (UNI) Even though Akali Dal (Longowal) President Prem Singh Chandumajra has denied news reports of his party's truck with main opposition Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), the latter party's chief Parkash Singh Badal today appealed to him to put their differences aside in interest of the people of Punjab.
In a statement issued here, Mr Badal asked Mr Chandumajra and Akali Dal (Longowal)'s General Secretary Baldev Singh Mann to throw their weight behind the SAD, so that the ruling Congress could be defeated in the February 13 Punjab assembly elections.
Mr Badal said he had already appealed to all pro-Punjab, pro-people and pro-Panthic parties in the state to unite under the banner of the parent organisation (SAD), in order to deliver what he described as ''the clinching and final blow to the tottering regime of a corrupt and inefficient dictator (Capt Amarinder Singh) in the state.
Mr Badal praised the 'vision and commitment' of Mr Chandumajra and his colleagues including Mr Mann and Mr Karnail Singh Panjoli to the cause of the 'Panth' and Punjab and their contribution in ridding the people of the state of the 'anti-Punjab Congress party'.
''They are valiant soldiers of the Panth and Punjab. They will be given places of respect and honour befitting their long struggle against the Congress party in general and Capt Amarinder Singh in particular,'' Mr Badal stated.
He expressed confidence that Mr Chandumajra and his colleagues would play a crucial role in shaping the future policies and programmes of the party.

People & Customs
Aloha means more than Hello and Goodbye it's the warmth you feel from the moment you step off the plane. It's the friendliness, hospitality, and generosity you'll discover from everyone you encounter, from the hotel concierge to the people on the street. It's the love the people of Hawaii have for their home, their heritage, and each other.
Perhaps it was the ancient Polynesians who first arrived on the Islands who brought this sense of Aloha. Perhaps Aloha is a result of Hawaii's spectacular environment nurtured by a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities. Perhaps more than any of its incomparable natural wonders and diversions, the Aloha Spirit is what truly makes Hawaii unique. We invite you to visit Hawaii to discover what Aloha means to you.Back to Top
Top Things To Do
Whether you're looking for some great waves, beautiful dive sites or just want to relax in the gentle Pacific Ocean - Hawaii is where you'll find it. Water conditions change dramatically with season.

Hawaii is also known as golf heaven.

We know that there is only one thing that Aussie's like better than shopping and that is finding a bargain! Hawaii truly is a shopping mecca and provides a number of different opportunities to satisfy even the most hard-core shopper!
Possibly the best known shopping complex in Hawaii is the Ala Moana centre, located on Ala Moana Boulavard about 15 minutes from the centre of Waikiki. Ala Moana center contains over 250 stores from Macy's and Neiman Marcus through to boutique stores and well known designer brands. Ala Moana is easily accessible by Oahu's transportation system simply called "The Bus".
The Victoria Ward centre is just next door and offers shoppers a whole day of shopping activity with another 120 shops, a multiplex cinema and even a farmers market. The Bus will take you from central Waikiki for approximately US$2.50.
A little further out of Waikiki and close to Pearl Harbor, is Waikele Premium Outlets, and here you'll find bargains galore! Waikele is Hawaii's first and only outlet centre. The outdoor centre features over 50 stores from the worlds leading brand names such as Polo Jeans, Banana Republic, Max Mara and Tommy Hilfiger. Waikele is located 30 minutes from downtown Honolulu and transport is available from most hotels in the area.Back to Top
When To Go
Anytime of year is a good time to visit Hawaii. The average temperature here is between 25˚- 32˚ C. Summer, between April and November is warmer and drier while winter, between December and March, is a bit cooler. Trade winds keep things comfortable year-round.
Depending on where you're located in Hawaii, the weather can be very different over even short distances. On the same day, on Oahu you might find sun over the beaches in Waikiki and rain only a few miles away in Manoa Valley.
Although there are no true "seasons" in the islands in the same sense as the rest of the U.S., the climate does go through annual cycles based on rainfall. The "wet" season in Hawaii (cooler temperatures and more rainfall) runs roughly from October to March, and the "dry" season (warmer temperatures and less rainfall) from April to September. There is therefore a higher probability of rain if you visit during the peak of tourist season in late December or January.
Overall, Hawaii is warm and balmy - when you step out of the plane you'll immediately notice that the air is soft and humid - and during the summer months the trade-winds provide a pleasant breeze.Back to Top
What To Pack
It's warm on Oahu, so pack your summer attire. You may want to bring a light jacket or sweater for the evenings. Suits and ties are rarely worn here. Bring some casual dress clothes or resort wear if you plan on experiencing Oahu's nightlife. You can buy an Aloha Shirt and flip-flops (or slippers, as the locals call them) when you get here.
Consequently, besides your driver's license, credit card, camera, binoculars, and other essentials, it's best to keep your clothes to a minimum... a jacket, sweater, one or two pair of washable slacks/shorts, walking shoes, sandals and swim gear. Sunscreen is essential since Hawaii's close proximity to the Equator translates into very strong sun radiation. The suitcase space you save can be used to fill up on island purchases.Back to Top
General Health
Hawaii is free from malaria, yellow fever and most other diseases endemic in other tropical countries. Mosquitoes are present throughout Hawaii but are rarely an annoyance on the dry coastal areas. Water is safe to drink except from mountain springs where purification is needed. The only real threat is the Sun - sunstroke, prickly heat and other skin irritations particularly in the more humid months from August to November when light, airy clothes are essential. Take plenty of sunscreen and a good brim hat with full UV protected swimsuits recommended for small children.
Doctors, dentists and pharmacies are found everywhere but are extremely expensive as are hospital beds and emergency operations.
If swimming, it is advisable to stick to the public beaches which have lifeguards. Hawaiian beaches often have dangerous rip tides and currents around its passages and the state uses official flags to represent swimming conditions.Back to Top
Grown Up Getaways
Hawaii is one of the world's most beautiful tropical playgrounds, but that doesn't mean you need the kids to have a great time.
In fact, why not leave the young ones at home this time around and enjoy a well-deserved break from real life?
Think long sleep-ins in the morning without the little ones waking you up, a smorgasbord of delicious fruits and tropical tastes to greet you for breakfast.
Toast a glass of Champagne on a yacht cruising the beautiful sparkling waters along Molokai's North Shore, or lying on a beach watching the sunset.
If you'd like to make the most of the child-free atmosphere, head to Oahu to make the most of delicious restaurants and lively bars. Those tropical cocktails won't drink themselves!
That's if you can tear yourself away from the hotel room. After all, luxury is a pre-requisite of Hawaii and you'd be surprised at the great deals you can get your hands on for a touch of the good life.
Complete the experience with a shopping trip around Honolulu, with its tempting range of clothes and other goodies. As a bonus, the kids won't be by your side begging for you to pay for their purchases!
Pools, spas and massage treatments, dining, top-notch service and heavenly rooms are just some of the drawcards of Hawaii's hotels and resorts.
There really is no better place to reignite the flame in your relationship than Hawaii. With its intoxicating combination of luxury, beautiful scenery and laid-back atmosphere, you can't help but fall in love with life.
Don't deny it - you want to go! So take the first step and have a chat to us about some of the great deals available for your holiday of a lifetime.Back to Top
Family Favourites
During those long nights being awakened by sleepless kids, there's no doubt you've dreamed of a more relaxing lifestyle. Well, if you're looking for a change of pace, there's no place like Hawaii.
This island paradise is geared up to thrill, entertain and exceed the expectations of both your little ones and those big kids too - you and your partner! 'Ohana' - the Hawaiian word for family - sums up the focus of life here. It's all about being in it together, giving you a break from those morning arguments over getting ready for school or refusing to eat breakfast.
Getting outdoors is a great way to wear the kids out so they'll fall straight to sleep at night leaving you to relax and enjoy a cocktail, and Hawaii is full of land- and water-based activities to do just the trick.
Heading underwater in a submarine? Check. Gazing upon the volcanic landscape from a helicopter? Check. Getting up close and personal with dolphins, sharks and other aquarium creatures? Check!
At that's not all if the kids are still playing up! Interactive museums about the stars, volcanoes and Hawaiian culture will keep the young ones occupied for hours if not days. You'll likely find yourself completely enthralled by these activities too - don't worry, we won't tell anyone back home that you spent longer than your child playing at the kid's exhibits! Think of it as reliving your own youth - after all, everyone wants to be a youngster again sometimes.
Of course, you'll never run out of things to do on the beautiful white-sand shores on any of Hawaii's several islands. From Maui to Oahu, you can spend endless hours playing on the beach, splashing about in the gentle waves and or looking out for exotic seashells or critters - perhaps with a mojito in hand?
Not to mention, your accommodation will be top-notch, too. When you want a date night free of tears or tantrums, your youngsters can have great time at the keiki (children) learning and activity programs run by most resorts and hotels. The only potential downside is that you're bound to want to return every year!Back to Top
Teen Time
We've all dreamt of travelling to Hawaii at some stage in our lives - and while originally your dream may not have included a couple of teens in tow, you'll soon find there are so many options for families in the sunny state. And hey, if the kids start to play up, there are plenty of individual pursuits to enjoy too!
Say "Aloha" to hundreds of beaches spread across the six main islands, and enjoy beautiful weather year-round. From Honolulu to Oahu, Waikiki to Maui, there are a huge range of activities to keep your younger family members satisfied.
If it's pristine beaches, crystal clear oceans, swaying palm treats and superb scenery you're after, look no further. Hawaii is known as paradise for good reason - it's simply stunning. Surfy teens will love Oahu's North Shore for watching world-famous big wave surfers take on the biggest breaks you'll ever see. Sneak away for a sunbathe and perhaps a cheeky drink as they take in the sight of their new heroes.
Make sure you include a trip to Pearl Harbour on your family's to-do list. You'll learn about a vital part of America's history, plus get the chance to explore the memorials and museums found in the area. Your teens may not thank you for it now but in time they'll realise what an important visit it is to make.
Active teens (or those with active parents!) will love a trip to Hawaii's Big Island for treks through vast rainforests, botanical gardens and waterfalls. From here you can snorkel, fish or scuba dive off the Kona Coast, plus take in the world's most active volcano of Kilauea.
Teenagers with a passion for fashion will have a world of shopping at their fingertips in Hawaii, especially in the capital Honolulu. From the Ala Moana centre to to the Waikele Premium Outlets, you'd be hard pressed to return from your holiday without having purchased a new item or two!
Finally, when you're exhausted from shopping and seeing the sights, sprawl out on one of Hawaii's world-famous beaches to top up your tan and relax in one of the world's most beloved holiday locations.Back to Top
Baby Steps
Hawaii - the postcard-perfect land of palm trees, sunsets and cocktails. It's too bad things might come screeching to a halt when we mention a stroller and small child, but bear with us! This tropical paradise is actually a perfect place to take your tots on holiday.
Whether you've holidayed on these beautiful islands many times before or it's your very first time saying "aloha" to Hawaii, one of the best things about taking the whole clan along is that you'll experience the trip through their excitable eyes. You'll see the luscious beaches in a whole new light as you watch your little ones play in the sand and marvel at the marine life, and you'll be amazed at how long they can spend peering at seashells and chasing hermit crabs.
All the better for you, as while they're distracted you can even slip in a cocktail or two and take in the rare moment of serenity!
For good old fashioned family fun, build a sand castle with your smallest tykes while you stare at the stunning sunset and crystal clear waves lapping at your feet. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, treat your family to a trip aboard a glass-bottom boat to see amazing aquatic activity from a whole new perspective. Just make sure you equip your stroller with enough snacks to keep your baby satisfied throughout the ride, or there's a good chance you'll feel the wrath of your fellow travellers when little Timmy or Tina starts to grizzle.
The Hawaiian locals pride themselves on their family values, incorporating "ohana" (Hawaiian for family) into everything from events to learning programs throughout the island. You can choose to pack as much culture and adventure into your trip as you like - if your children are old enough to explore the island's volcanoes and wildlife with you, you'll be spoiled for choice here.
Alternatively, use your Hawaiian holiday as a great way to relax, unwind and spend quality time with your brood.Back to Top

Down to earth couple Rebecca and Joon planned a low-key Seattle wedding that put the spotlight on their love. The Great Hall at Greenlake served as the picture perfect venue, and rustic elegant touches were incorporated throughout.
Moss, wood, and kraft paper were used to create unique wedding signs, centerpieces, and an amazing escort card display, and the couple went alternative with tasty cupcakes instead of cake.
The photo booth and props provided loads of fun at the reception, and the bride and groom made a memorable exit in a vintage car adorned with a Just Married banner.

PyGimp Plugin Collection
I'll publish here some of my Python Scripts for the Gimp made the last several years. All plug-ins are tested with the latest Gimp 2.4.x. The idea is to provide packages for several Tasks, Web Graphics, Artistic Effects, Photo Restoration, ...
Currently there's only one package containing around 13 Scripts. If you made any interesting Python plug-ins please let me know and i will include it with the next release.
I know there's already the Gimp Plug-in Registry but i wasn't quite happy with it because there is so much outdated. I don't try to replace the Gimp Plug-in Registry, my intention is to create packages proven to run with the latest & greatest Gimp.
