Pitch Thursdays Lauren West, of the band American Pinup, performed as part of the "Pitch Thursdays" series; an art & music series curated by the GARNER Arts Center for the Industrial Arts Brewing Company Tasting Room.
Westchester Magazine describes Lauren West as the "powerhouse frontwoman" of the Yonkers-based indie-punk outfit American Pinup, but her solo efforts reveal the softer side of this dynamic singer-songwriter. Performing a combination of stripped-down American Pinup favorites and original songs not found in her band's discography, West winds down from anthemic powerpop to heartfelt indie folk. The intimate tone of these acoustic performances spotlights her lyrics about love, struggle, fear, and hope, evoking "the personal is political" maxim, and a voice that is at once urgent and gentle, sultry and soaring.

The new exhibition, Gravity's Wings, paintings by Sharon Falk opened.
In the series of paintings I use the images of birds in an exploration of a moment of time that encompasses the source of light as knowledge, art and the lightness of spirit. It is the gesture of wild things, boldly emerging from places of containment or darkness into an awareness of discovery. They exist in a delicate moment of balance in space, and I seek to portray this energy even in stillness. I am interested in moments of expanded time, a gesture that is fleeting but remains in memory as infinite in its completeness. Through the images of wild things, birds in flight, animals in motion, I attempt to get close to their natural state of freedom. They embody the power in each of us in our relation to earthbound struggles, along a path that is both arcane and familiar in a timeless way. In exploring the aura around all things, I am drawn to that light from an unknown source, and the desire to pay attention to the vanishing language written on the land and all nature.

Pitch Thursdays Thursday, June 7th Becky Kessler, singer, songwriter and guitarist for the band Violent Mae, moved to Connecticut from North Carolina to live and work on a friend's organic farm. She won best singer songwriter in the first annual CT music awards and with multi instrumentalist/producer, Floyd Kellogg, has since received praise from Paste, Mother Jones, Kickstarter, and NPR. "Gifted with great range, Kessler's voice is both smoky and tender, a silver tongue savoring every syllable that escapes the resistance of her pensive lips. And so the songs can be built around that and her distinctive guitar playing, in some kinship to how Buckley's songs were just a full band's extensions of him." - Coke Machine Glow

FYRN - Bowed Guitar Ensemble was held Saturday, Mar 24 2018
FYRN is a bowed guitar ensemble that performs ambient compositions by ensemble leader Geoff Gersh. Using metal files to bow the guitars, the sounds produced are ghostly, yet beautiful, and create lush soundscapes that engulf the audience as the ensemble sets up in a large circle around the audience in unique spaces. This performance was held in the stunning 8,000 sq ft warehouse space, Dye Works, located within the GARNER Historic District. Audiences watched the piece come alive around them as Gersh conducts the piece from the center of the room, immersing audiences in the artists' creative process.
Composer/guitarist Geoff Gersh explored the sonic boundaries of the electric guitar with and without the aid of electronic devices and found objects to produce sounds one would normally not associate with the guitar. Geoff composes for and performs to silent films with two groups he leads, Reel Orchestrette and Black Lodge, on a regular basis at the Nitehawk Cinema, Little Cinema and Film Noir Cinema in Brooklyn, NY. In November 2009, Gersh was awarded a Swing Space grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in NYC for the presentation of his composition 'Memory In Night', for 6 electric guitars bowed with metal files, in an old bank vault 2 levels below Wall St. Also in 2009, he performed in Rhys Chatham's "A Crimson Grail for 200 Electric Guitars" at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park. Gersh has been playing the electric zither in the Off-Broadway show BLUE MAN GROUP since 1998 and subbed in the Broadway hit ROCK OF AGES from 2013-2015. He has received grants from the American Music Center, Meet the Composer, SOS from NYFA, was awarded a New York Dance & Performance Award (Bessie) in 2000 among others.
This Project was Supported, in part, by the Creative Connections Arts Fund at The Vermont Community Foundation and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

An Evening with Katayoun Goudarzi (Featuring Kevin Hayes and Sergio Krakowski) GARNER Arts Center proudly presented Iranian vocalist and acclaimed performer, Katayoun Goudarzi. Goudarzi is known for maximizing the musical qualities of classical Persian poetry using different styles of singing and recitation and will be joined for an evening length performance by renowned artists Kevin Hayes (piano) and Sergio Krakowski (Pandeiro "Brazilian Tambourine"). The artists performed in the brick lined Dye Works Space on February 24th, 2018 in the GARNER Historic District. The program featured the beauty of Goudarzi's distinctive melodic style while showcasing contemporary expressions of the cultural traditions from her native Tehran. The primary art form of Iran has long been poetry and Goudarzi has been a serious student of this rich tradition over the past three decades. These years of study have resulted in an accurate style of recitation and musical interpretation that blends an emotive rendition of the poetry with meticulous attention to the linguistic and lyrical integrity of the piece. Goudarzi, of the Saffron Ensemble, has an extensive repertoire of successful which include: "Dawning" with The Grammy award nominee Shujaat Husain Khan, saxophonist and composer, Tim Ries [of the Rolling Stones], Jazz Pianist and composer, Kevin Hays, and Tabla artist Abhiman Kaushal and more. "Goudarzi is a perfectionist who pays meticulous attention to details. She's constantly experimenting in hopes of honoring the spirit and sense of the poetry she loves." – Broadway World
Pianist Kevin Hays is internationally recognized as one of the premier jazz pianists of his generation. Many of his 15 recordings as leader have received critical acclaim from publications such as The New York Times, Downbeat Magazine and Jazz Times, as well as a "Coup de Coeur" from the Académie Charles Cros (France). A prolific sideman appearing on over 60 records, Kevin's long list of notable musical associations include records with Chris Potter, Joshua Redman, Nicholas Payton, and Al Foster. The New Day Trio is Hays' latest project with bassist Rob Jost (Bjork, Tony Scherr) and drummer Greg Joseph (Steve Kuhn, Art Garfunkel). Sergio Krakowski has dedicated his whole life to the Pandeiro, also known as the Brazilian Tambourine. In twenty years of career Krakowski has shared the stage with countless acclaimed artists and has been involved in many musical projects. Krakowski joined Edmar Castañeda's World Music Ensemble, created a duo project with Cyro Baptista which played at the legendary experimental music headquarter, The Stone, and joined the Choro Aventuroso, Anat Cohen's Brazilian music band that performed in Jazz at Lincoln Center, the 54 Below, and the Umbria Winter Jazz Festival. Besides his musical career, Krakowski used his PhD in Computer Music to allow percussion instruments to create real time dialogues between percussionist and computer. This research turned into an electronic music project named "Talking Drums" that has been commissioned by the NY State Council of the Arts and presented in a myriad of stages such as The Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, Drom - NYC, (Le) Poisson Rouge - NYC, Oi Futuro - Rio de Janeiro, and at the Museum of Moving Image - Queens - NYC, as part of the NY Electronic Art Festival 2015.

Mechanica address GARNER Arts Center's history as a textile mill, reflected in Castaneda's virtual animations which fall between fashion and sculpture, questioning exactly what can be considered what and at what point do the facets of the textile mill become something to be preserved and relished rather than disregarded. Lasting around 30 minutes, the work will be performed throughout the evening in GARNER Arts Center's stunning 8,000 sq ft Dye Works Warehouse space.
Confirmed artists included; Composer/Performer Molly Joyce and Virtual Artist Leo Castaneda, DJ Max Sprauer, The Chapman Brothers, Reid Stowe, Hudson Valley Ballet Company, Jamie Gaviola, Jamie Kimak, Adam Garey

*Jill Hartmann was raised in Louisiana and the child of two musical families, Jill began singing at a very young age. Her first concrete passion aside from singing was poetry, writing volumes of verse starting from the time she was 8 years old which would inevitably aid in her songwriting in later years. Eventually she would attend Louisiana State University for poetry but along the way, her true love of music made its way back into her life. At the age of 20, Jill started teaching herself how to play the guitar, emulating such legendary folk finger-pickers as Joni Mitchell. The result is a unique and immediately identifiable style all her own.

This program will begin in front of building 35, and then will continue on to tours of Building 19, 4w and 3b. Unfortunately due to damage caused by Hurricane Irene and the Historical Complex, building 35 is not ADA accessible (the other spaces are accessible however). Help us change this by supporting the Building 35 Campaign TODAY. The program will conclude with a closing reception in our Historic Brick Alley.
Haider discusses A Dark Rock Surged Upon, on view in various locations throughout the GARNER Historic District. A Dark Rock Surged Upon, as spectacle, and as an exhibition of works of art installed, projected, and performed throughout GARNER Art Center's remarkable decommissioned factory spaces, offers no answers; they are responses to contexts that feel jarringly new, cleaved by difference and dissembling. Instead, the works manifest the duty to pose questions about the current moment pressed upon many by racialized and gendered discrimination, our environmental challenges, urban decay and rural devastation, the wholesale assault on political credence, weaponization of worship, and the colonization of speech and mind.
Featuring work by; Todd Martin, Zachary Skinner, Francois Deschamps, Sigrid Sarda, Anthony Tino, Hedieh Ahmadi, Tiffany Smith, Tlisza Jaurique, Marcus Zilliox, Peter Iannarelli, Ryan Roa, Matthew Frieburghaus, Laura Kauffman, Chris Victor, Stephen Derrickson, Derek Stroup, Molly Stinchfield, Steve Rossi, Sadee Brathwaite, Heather Renee Russ, Rena Leinberger More information on A Dark Rock Surged Upon can be found here.

PATERSON - Apr 22
GARNER Arts Center celebrated & honored Jim Jarmusch's latest film, Paterson, partially shot in the GARNER Historic District. Audiences enjoyed this acclaimed independent film in the 19th century dyeing warehouse, Dye Works. In his film Paterson, Jim Jarmusch explores the intersection between Humanism and Urbanism via a protagonist that functions as scribe and resident poet for the city he embodies. Paterson, the man, is curator of the perpetual hum of the urban apparatus in which he's a cog. The film is an alluring portrayal of the illuminations of William Carlos Williams in his long-form poem "Paterson" published in 1946. At once, Paterson is a man, a poem, a city. This screening was followed by an open discussion guided by film professionals exploring the themes presented in the film and poem and leading an important discussion about how these are relevant to an emergent movement to redefine urban and post-industrial places and to further understand how place is connected to civilization. This event was generously sponsored by RBC Wealth Management,Rooftop Films, and Industrial Arts Brewing Company

ASHLEY BATHGATE Performance - November 13, 2015
Renowned cellist, Ashley Bathgate, visited Garnerville for one night only for an evening of art intersecting with technology. Visitors enjoyed light and sound installations throughout the evening, including projections by acclaimed animator, M. Henry Jones, during the performance. [Ashley] Bathgate has been described as an "eloquent new music interpreter" (New York Times) who combines "bittersweet lyricism along with ferocious chops" (New York Magazine). Her "impish ferocity", "rich tone" and "imaginative phrasing" (New York Times) have made her one of the most sought after performers of her time. The desire to create a dynamic energy exchange with her audience and build upon the ensuing chemistry is a pillar of Bathgate's philosophy as a performer. Her affinity to dynamism drives Bathgate to venture into previously uncharted areas of ground-breaking sounds and techniques, breaking the mold of a cello's traditionally perceived voice. She is a member of the award winning, internationally acclaimed sextet, Bang on a Can All-Stars, as well as two chamber groups of which she is a founding member: TwoSense and Bonjour.

Old School
I remembered this curious device the other night while I was trying to go to sleep. I used to sit in the back of the car on long trips and make animations on this thing. It couldn't really replace the Flip-Book Madness that killed the majority of the paper pads that found their way into my parent's house, but it was pretty fun. It got me thinking about how I ended up in this crazy business and why I do things the way I do now.
I think I started painting on the computer in, well... certainly the early '80's. We used to have an Atari computer. No, that's not an Atari 2600.
It was frickin' Atari Computer.
Yeah, so, that was the life of a young nerd. I used to program my own games in Basic. Most were Zork-style text games, but I remember doing some reeeealy crude graphics on a Road Warrior-style car shooter. The cars were big green cubes. So were their bullets.
A few years later I graduated to Deluxe Paint where I spent a week trying to reproduce a tiger photograph down to the pixel. I'm sure today it would probably hilarious and make an excellent T-shirt.
Deluxe Paint (Or "Dpaint" as the people on the BBS used to call it. See how old I am?) was responsible for my very first paying art gig for a little (or it was back then) studio called Epic. I remember painstakingly placing individual pixels until deciding that finally someone might decide that what I'd made sort-of resembled a hulking mutant in a test tube.
Before college ended, I worked on a game being produced for Epic that never saw the light of day due to some silly squabbling between the producers and unfinished sound code. The game was to be the first full-screen animated game on the PC. Meaning cinematic-style animation, though still composed of too-few pixels to be really believable. Vector-based. Sort of a proto-Flash. For two years I dragged pixellated lines around until they formed shapes that I prayed would be interpreted as a cartoony superhero. And it actually came out pretty good, as I recall.
Photoshop didn't enter the picture until after I moved to L.A., and I remember being really resistant to it at first. I'm not even sure when that changed.
I'm not sure where I was going with this trip down Memory Lane, but... hey look! I posted in my own blog!

Home of Walt Disney World Resort
Universal Studios Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando, it's no wonder Orlando is one of the most popular family vacation destinations in the country. In what was once a small town full of citrus groves and cow pastures, the Greater Orlando Metropolitan region is now home to one of the largest clusters of amusement parks, a sprawling suburban landscape, the University of Central Florida, as well as the downtown city of Orlando.
The city of Orlando is the county seat for Orange County, Florida and is located within the central area of the state. Orlando was established as a city in 1885 and was the leader for Florida's booming citrus industry. The area was also known for its cattle ranches for beef production as well as cotton in the city's early day, which diminished during the Civil War. It wasn't until 1965 that Orlando was really put on the map when Walt Disney decided to build Walt Disney World in nearby Lake Buena Vista, after deciding against his other options in Miami or Tampa because of the threat of hurricanes. Disney's dream resort opened its doors to the public in 1971 and has been the leading force in Orlando's burgeoning tourism industry ever since.
While families are sure to flock to Orlando for a visit to the major parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld, there are many other great amusement and theme parks to round out any fun-filled family vacation. Discovery Cove is a unique park that allows only a limited amount of guests per day but offers an unforgettable opportunity to swim with dolphins. To discover yet another native Florida creature, head to Gatorland where the theme of this park is everything reptile and alligator. For those looking to cool down in the heat and humidity, Orlando also has its fair share of water parks including Aquatica and Wet 'N Wild.
Downtown Orlando, located about 20 miles from the theme park haven of Lake Buena Vista, offers an appealing diversion from the parks with its popular nightlife options along Orange Avenue such as bars, restaurants, clubs, concert venues and theaters. Cultural attractions such as museums, parks and sporting events are also prominent here, making this destination truly a place for anyone looking for a getaway with abounding possibilities for entertainment and family-fun activities.

Exploring new waters in the first Drake 17 kit
As I write this blog update, I look out over the Bay of Fundy off Campobello Island. The water and sky seem to merge into one gray canvas, but as the ebb tide really starts to go the calm waters go from fluid, to rippling, to boiling. The currents create eddies past points, tide rips and carry sea life quickly downstream. It reminds my so much of looking off the west side of San Juan Island, 2 weeks ago, on the opposite corner of the contiguous US. Looking over the Strait of Juan De Fuca on that first night as the sun set I thought about how familiar the waters were, but even more vivacious than Maine's, and that I would need to get very familiar with them and quick. Because I had one plan for the next several days: row and row hard. I had the use of the first kit-built Drake 17 Rowboat beautifully done by Kent Fosnes of Port Angeles, WA. The Drake 17 is my favorite rowboat in my catalog and my first design-build. We've come long way from that winter in 2007 imagining the design of a superior rowboat to take me out into my local Maine waters. Here I am about to splash into the big waters off Washington State.
San Juan Island
San Juan Island is the mother of the San Juan Island group in North Puget Sound. To the west, I was able to look out right over at Vancouver Island, Canada. This roughly north-sound oriented stretch is a famous feeding ground for Orca Whales and if there was anywhere I was going to see them in the wild it was here. In fact, that was a large reason for coming out: to row a Drake Rowboat with Orca Whales. I would not take a whale watch tour; I would row my own design out to the feeding grounds and hope to see them. How did it turn out?....
Day 1
Today's row took me north along the west side of San Juan. I had planned an easy day rowing about 11 miles over the top of San Juan and returning via Roche Harbor. This row will take me along the west shore of the Island where the currents can be unpredictable, strong, and turbulent. I spent time gathering local knowledge on the waters, studying the chart and confirming my confidence in the boat and my abilities. I took off from a beach below my campsite and was off on my first open water row in a Drake Rowboat in too many years.
It was about 6 miles to the lunch stop when I noticed a pod of Orcas breach the surface in the distance. I ran to the boat, loaded up, and shoved off to where a whale watch boat was hanging out. I'll do what they are doing, I thought. Two large adult whales swam by and two juveniles hung behind. They decided to swim to me and under the boat.
The Drake 17 Rowboat Experience
I would be remiss not taking a moment to mention how completely, emphatically, and most certainly awesome the Drake Rowboat is to anyone who appreciates or wants to be introduced to truly pleasurable rowing. This particular Drake is the first kit-version I sold. Kent did a fantastic job building it and is a saint for loaning the boat to me. After slipping into the rowing seat that first morning, and rowing for about 15 minutes, I realized that this boat was lighter and faster than mine was. Using a great set of 9'6" length, beautiful, spoon-blade oars is a huge asset. But we were smoking along on that morning. I had made slight tweaks to the hull for the kit version and over the course of the day this row would confirm that I made good changes to the boat. The security and stability of the Drake hull is wonderful when you are in big waters. I felt cradled and safe. Yet, on the waterline she is a long, narrow hull that slips through the water with ease. The oars mount on the gunwales directly via a gorgeous set of Bronze oarlock brackets. The hull will rise and fall with the swells and shed the choppiest water. Airtight tanks in the ends of the boat will allow self-rescue in the event of an emergency. I love this boat and the adventures it has brought to me and is bringing to people worldwide.
Return to Campsite
Midway through the row, I felt great. I was enticed to go further. That is the thing about the Drake Rowboat. It is so easy pulling, you can really go the distance. The other nice thing is that you can row into quite a current with the Drake and that is what I had to do in Roche Harbor. The views were stunning and the Kelp amazing. Exiting the harbor back into open water found me rowing hard into about 10-15kts of wind and a head sea. But the current seemed to switch direction so that helped. As I rowed down the coast, the infamous tide rips of the Straight popped up. I could go around them or right through them. I did a little of both.
As I approached the beach back at the campsite, I could see the pods of Orcas heading south again after their morning feeding. They were breaching and cruising fast. If I hadn't just rowed 14 miles I would have gone out to join the three kayakers enjoying the show. They were so close! But then again, I could just watch from shore as I massaged my hands and felt the rush of a glorious day of rowing course through my veins.

Hello friends! Also, hello to anyone who might've accidentally stumbled upon this blog while searching for local Mexican cuisine. (Yeah, I know you just wanted to find a reasonably priced chimichanga – but like it or not, you're here now.)
It's been a good while since I've sat down and put pen to paper, so to speak, and I think we're probably overdue for an update. The only problem? I don't exactly know where to begin. Sure, I could gush about sweet baby Moffet, and how fulfilled pet-motherhood makes me feel. (Please see image of adorable puppy below.) Or I could delight you with tales of the Hell's Angel who set up camp at the motel, and has since been run out of town. (Not pictured.) I could even compile a seemingly endless list of everything I miss about the city, but by that same token, I could also list a myriad of things that I love about living in the mountains.
The truth is that everything about life is so completely different, I haven't quite figured out how to feel about it yet...
I know that in theory, there are few things more romantic than running away with the person you love and building a life together. It's exciting. I'd be lying if I told you otherwise. However, I think it's easy to buy into the escapist fantasy that Philip and I are off living some glamorous adventure in the mountains. Don't let the perfectly staged Instagram shots fool you! We deal with some questionable folks on a daily basis, we sleep on a floor-bed, we have approximately 4.5 friends (combined) and we clean other people's pubes out of motel shower drains.
THAT is our reality… But it's just one side of it.
On the other side, we have complete creative freedom. We don't have clients or bosses weighing in and making changes as they see fit. We get to do this thing however we damn well please! And that's pretty cool in my book. We also have the ability to make our own schedule, which typically involves skiing at least twice a week. AND, even though there are moments when I'd literally maim a stranger for some alone time – I get to share my life with the person I love! And did I mention that our dog is really stinkin' cute?
So all in all, it's been kind of a mixed bag so far. There are some days when I question it all, and other days when I know I'm right where I need to be. It may be a total cliché, but sometimes you've just gotta take the good with the bad. Or I guess in this case, you've gotta take puppies and true love with other people's pubes. (Still needs some finessing, but I'll work on it.)

India, among the European investors, is believed to be a good investment despite political uncertainty, bureaucratic hassles, shortages of power and infrastructural deficiencies. India presents a vast potential for overseas investment and is actively encouraging the entrance of foreign players into the market. No company, of any size, aspiring to be a global player can, for long ignore this country which is expected to become one of the top three emerging economies.
Success in India will depend on the correct estimation of the country's potential, underestimation of its complexity or overestimation of its possibilities can lead to failure. While calculating, due consideration should be given to the factor of the inherent difficulties and uncertainties of functioning in the Indian system.Entering India's marketplace requires a well-designed plan backed by serious thought and careful research. For those who take the time and look to India as an opportunity for long-term growth, not short-term profit- the trip will be well worth the effort.
India is the fifth largest economy in the world (ranking above France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Russia) and has the third largest GDP in the entire continent of Asia. It is also the second largest among emerging nations. (These indicators are based on purchasing power parity.) India is also one of the few markets in the world which offers high prospects for growth and earning potential in practically all areas of business.Yet, despite the practically unlimited possibilities in India for overseas businesses, the world's most populous democracy has, until fairly recently, failed to get the kind of enthusiastic attention generated by other emerging economies such as China.
The reason being, after independence from Britain 50 years ago, India developed a highly protected, semi-socialist autarkic economy. Structural and bureaucratic impediments were vigorously fostered, along with a distrust of foreign business. Even as today the climate in India has seen a seachange, smashing barriers and actively seeking foreign investment, many companies still see it as a difficult market. India is rightfully quoted to be an incomparable country and is both frustrating and challenging at the same time. Foreign investors should be prepared to take India as it is with all of its difficulties, contradictions and challenges.
envisaging and developing a Market Entry Strategy and implementing these strategies when actually entering the market are three basic steps to make a successful entry into India.Developing a basic understanding or potential of the Indian marketThe Indian middle class is large and growing; wages are low; many workers are well educated and speak English; investors are optimistic and local stocks are up; despite political turmoil, the country presses on with economic reforms.But there is still cause for worries-
The rapid economic growth of the last few years has put heavy stress on India's infrastructural facilities. The projections of further expansion in key areas could snap the already strained lines of transportation unless massive programs of expansion and modernization are put in place. Problems include power demand shortfall, port traffic capacity mismatch, poor road conditions (only half of the country's roads are surfaced), low telephone penetration (1.4% of population).
Indian BureaucracyAlthough the Indian government is well aware of the need for reform and is pushing ahead in this area, business still has to deal with an inefficient and sometimes still slow-moving bureaucracy.
The Indian market is widely diverse. The country has 17 official languages, 6 major religions, and ethnic diversity as wide as all of Europe. Thus, tastes and preferences differ greatly among sections of consumers.
Therefore, it is advisable to develop a good understanding of the Indian market and overall economy before taking the plunge. Research firms in India can provide the information to determine how, when and where to enter the market. There are also companies which can guide the foreign firm through the entry process from beginning to end --performing the requisite research, assisting with configuration of the project, helping develop Indian partners and financing, finding the land or ready premises, and pushing through the paperwork required.
Is there a need for the products/services/technology? What is the probable market for the product/service? Where is the market located? Which mix of products and services will find the most acceptability and be the most likely to generate sales? What distribution and sales channels are available? What costs will be involved? Who is the competi
The general economic direction in India is toward liberalization and globalization. But the process is slow. Before jumping into the market, it is necessary to discover whether government policies exist relating to the particular area of business and if there are political concerns which should be taken into account.
After deciding to plunge in the Indian Market it is required to plan carefully for succeeding in the long run. Some areas need special attention:
Determining the exact costs involved and side by side analysing future options. Choosing the best location for the project in terms of infrastructure, incentives, nearness to resources etc.
Deciding whether to take on an Indian joint venture partner or to establish a mainly-owned or wholly-owned subsidiary.
Developing an understanding of the peculiarities of the Indian market is necessary, so that issues which come up can be effectively and timely tackled with few surprises.
Understanding legal compliance requirements which must be met once entry is effected, viz. corporate laws, labor laws, direct and indirect tax issues, etc.
However, the government has softened its stand on the need for each investment to create jobs directly. Many companies — foreign and domestic — are bypassing the tough regulations by either subcontracting labor or through early retirement schemes.
Planning exit options in case the project does not proceed as desired. A ship should essentially carry lifeboats!
India's economic policies are designed to attract capital inflows into India on a sustained basis. Policy initiatives adopted in recent years include: Automatic approval for majority foreign equity participation up to 74% in certain key areas, and up to 51% or 50% in several others. Up to100% foreign equity permitted in many industries. Free repatriation of profits and capital investment. It is not necessary for foreign investors to have a local partner.
Will the products be sold strictly in the Indian market, or primarily exported from India to other countries? If most of the product is to be exported, then there are various methods of availing of tax advantages.
Investors setting up units to manufacture goods for export can set them up as EPZs, or 100% EOUs outside EPZs. 100% foreign equity is welcome in both. Export earnings are exempt from income tax.
The EPZs are designed to provide an internationally competitive duty-free environment at low cost for export production. Each zone provides basic infrastructure and facilities like developed land, standard-design factory buildings, roads, power, water supply and drainage, and customs clearance facilities.
EOUs offer a wider option in project location with reference to sourcing of raw materials, port of export, availability of technological skills, presence of an industrial base and the need for a larger area of land.
EHTP's and STP'sAdditional incentives are offered for electronics and software units set up in Electronic Hardware Technology Parks (EHTPs) and Software Technology Parks (STPs).
Overseas companies which do not opt to set up a subsidiary or form a joint venture with an Indian partner can establish the following types of offices: Branch office for the purpose of: representing the parent company or other foreign companies, like acting as buying/selling agents; conducting research, provided the results of the research are made available to Indian companies; undertaking export/import activities; providing technical and financial collaborations between Indian and foreign companies. Representative/liaison office which would not be directly engaged in commercial activities in India. Foreign companies usually open representative/ liaison offices but they are not allowed to carry on any business or earn any income in India and all expenses are to be borne by remittances from abroad. Project office to undertake projects in India awarded to the parent company. A project office is the ideal method to establish a business presence for a limited period of time.
For companies who do not want to set up a subsidiary, joint venture or branch, it will be necessary to carefully choose and appoint an agent. It makes sense to select several regional agents.
After studying the potential of the Indian market and determining an entry strategy, the final stages of actually setting up a base in India will include:
If setting up a joint venture or developing an agency/franchise relationship, it will be necessary to: Find a partner who meets your objectives Find a partner with the requisite skills Perform a credit check of the proposed partner Negotiate the details of the contract Arrive at a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Finalize the joint venture/agency/franchise agreement
Before actually setting up operations, various central and state governmental approvals must be obtained. The approval granting authorities in the Central Government are: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
Registration Once the project has been approved, it has to be registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). If forming a joint venture or subsidiary, the company must be incorporated and obtain a certificate to commence business. If setting up an office, registration is required with the appropriate regional ROC.
Once the entry plan has been cleared by the Central Government and registered appropriately, actually setting up will require various State clearances, viz. building planning, land use, environmental clearance, power clearance, etc.
Many overseas companies -- large and small -- have made successful entries into the market since India began its liberalization process in 1991. Yet, some have also attempted and failed. There is no doubt that the potential is vast. India's total market is 950 million and the middle class is huge and growing. Both the central and state governments are aggressively seeking foreign investment -- adding incentive on incentive to encourage overseas companies to set up shop. On the surface in fact, India looks like an investment dream come true. But, in reality, the challenges are equally vast. Those that will succeed in tapping this great nation's potential will do so through careful research and a well-designed plan.

Presidents Welcome To All Players/Officials/Guests.
In Memory Of Howard Reeve.
It is with mixed emotions that I will welcome our past players and supporters to the reunion on 16.07.16.
Whilst it gives me great pleasure to look forward to greeting so many players who have contributed to the history of Undercliffe Cricket Club there is obviously much sorrow that the main instigator of this reunion, Howard Reeve,will not be with us.
Having spoken with his family it was decided that Howard would have wished this event to go ahead. It seems only fitting that we use it to celebrate his life and his achievements and to remember him as the true gentleman, husband, dad and sportsman that he was.
Cricket is our common passion and I hope you can all enjoy the reunion and relive past glories and renew old friendships.
Our thoughts and support are with Vickie, Damon, Bradley and the family at this sad time.

I'm sure you are concerned about this program and you may have questions you would like addressed before making a decision. That is what this page is for. Some have already expressed requests for additional clarification and below are the response to those questions. How this page is used is that the questions asked are in RED and the responses are in GREEN

Wishing all the best and very prosperous lives today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your lives.
How old do I need to be to be a member? Because of IRS legalities you must be an age of at least the legal age for entering into contracts, so to be safe we restrict membership participation level to 18 years or older.
Why do I have to join the programs from your banner links? Simple, by so doing this is where the investment funds come to be able to pay you the amounts we promise here as well as to fund the many other programs of Paradigm Ministries International. Your participation provides us with referral bonuses that we place into the investment pool. We need $100 million to accomplish all that we need to do. Also, since this is Profit-Share program your compliance with our requirements is going to help to make the profits that we will be sharing.
Can any one participate? No for several reasons. First, the membership is LIMITED to 1 million people. Second, you must be a citizen of the United States of America or a LEGAL resident (must have VERIFIABLE documentation establishing legal residency status). For International residents wishing to participate the problem is that you MUST pay for the programs we direct you to. We suggest you try some of our other programs for annual incomes at NO costs. Following is a list of them: TheOneGiftWonder, Jobs4Profit-International, Free4All to name a few. Granted the annual distribution income is not at this level or at the Jobs4profit-USA level, but anything is better than nothing.
When do I get paid? The program is designed to make the initial payment within 45 days following the last card activation of the acquisition of the last member of the target membership is attained. If that occurs BEFORE the end of a calendar year it will do so. All subsequent distribution will occur the first Monday of the SECOND FULL WEEK of each January then on.
Let me try to illustrate that for you:
45 days FOLLOWING Target Membership --- $10,000.00 per Member
FIRST January FOLLOWING Initial Distribution
--- $100,000 per Member
Subsequent Januarys FOLLOWING First January Distribution
--- $1,000,000 per Member
Hey, I thought this was supposed to be free, what's with the $40 bucks? Ah . . . "hello Macfly" . . . the $40 is NOT an investment . . . it is a D-E-P-O-S-I-T-E! When you put money in the bank . . . do you LOSE control over it? Do you LOSE it?! Well this is the same thing! You are not paying ANYTHING to anyone . . . That is other than to your self. In fact IF you choose to load YOUR card with the $40 through 7-eleven (you have heard of them haven't you) they will charge you $3.95 to complete the task. Oh . . . I forgot when you load the card netSpend GIVES you $20 in addition so you IMMEDIATELY get a $20 profit for DEPOSITING money onto YOUR card which is a $16.05 NET profit! So you are ACTUALLY earning money to DEPOSIT money onto YOUR card. Please for give my candor, but I am amazed with the shallow thinking of the human rationale at times. My old college professor Dr. McKay was right when he said . . . OFTEN that some "people are born in the objective case and live in the kickative mood." I am trying to help out this economy and the pocketbooks of a good number of Americans. If you are going to allow a $40 DEPOSIT to interfere with an annual residual return of AT LEAST $100,000 a year (first year only), then by all means do so and let someone else avail him/herself of this opportunity. I am trying to make this opportunity as painless as possible, however, if you choose to by-pass this one then in a year from now try to console yourself with the fact that you $3.95 stand in the way of AT LEAST $100,000 a year FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE escape through your fingers! Okay this opportunity DOES require you to move some money . . . BUT it is STILL your money and you STILL have control over it. How many scams out there can make that claim? Just so there is no confusing this requirement is that you PAY yourself $40.00, once that is done you earn an additional $20 making your net woth with just this action $60.00. Do you understand YOU PAY US NOTHING . . . EVER!
Why is the US only free? If by that statement you mean why are the United States and LEGAL U. S. residents free to participate in the program . . . . the simple answer is that EVERYONE, whether U.S. or International IS FREE TO PARTICIPATE. The program charges no one a cent to participate in the program. IN OTHER WORDS: "YOU NEVER PAY US A PENNY! WE ARE GIVING THIS PROGRAM TO ANY AND ALL WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE! WE ARE NOT CHARGING YOU A CENT TO PARTICIPATE!" The ASSIGNMENTS, however, that U.S. citizens and LEGAL U.S. residents are free because the program providers are set up that way. WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEIR OPERATIONS AND/OR THEIR PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. If we could find comparable International programs that would allow what the U.S. assigned programs do we would use them. IF you know of some please send them to us. We will join them as YOUR direct referrals AND NOT require you to RE-JOIN them as OUR direct referral. The respective assignments such as netSpend, InstantRewards, ZNZ, and so on are limiting themselves as to who can participate in their respective programs. Understand that we receive considerable referral bonuses once our referrals complete their specified tasks.
How does joining a bunch of programs make me a million dollars? It can't! You are being employed by us as a sub-contractor. The referral bonuses we receive from your activities allows us to do the investing that will allow us to create the conglomerate from which your annual residual will come.
How can you do this? Very simple, we will use the bonuses we receive from your joining an participating in the listed programs to develop an investment pool of enough money to invest in International Currency. Our traders have been doing this for more than 30 years and have become quite proficient. The $100 million will allow Michael and the others to leverage amounts into more than enough money to fund all the programs and businesses of Paradigm Ministries International. For THIS program, however, the money used to pay you your annual benefits will come from the annual profits of all of our businesses and programs, including one of the largest financial services company in the world to be known as: Paradigm Financial Services International.
What exactly are we doing? To be as succinct as possible. You are making money through your activity. As such your participation is helping us gather the funds need to create the largest conglomeration of businesses, programs, and services in the world. Once the core of these programs is in place our ANNUAL projected income after the FIRST year of operation will EXCEED 3 TRILLION dollars. Our commitment is to share 1 trillion of those annual prceeds with you, the membership who made this all possible, every year for the rest of your lives! Simply, that translates into 1 million dollars per member annually. If you are a U.S. citizen this is yours ABSOLUTELY free! If you are not a U.S. citizen then your ability to participate in the program will be limited to your complying by join PAID programs and spending the 3 hour per week requirement making money for yourselves through those programs. EVERYTHING you do through this program will generate income for you, we are just going to share what we earned through your activities with you to the tune of an additional 1 million dollars.
This is a scam... right?! Let me ask you, HOW MUCH MONEY AM I ASKING OF YOU? The answer is ZERO making your risk ZERO. How many scams of which are you aware that do not REQUIRE some form of investment and make you take some kind of risk? Frankly there is no way for me to prove to you that this is not a scam until initial payments are made, but you are risking nothing. Not even the $40 you load onto YOUR Debit MasterCard. And since you are able to load those cards at a local 7-eleven that should tell you something of AT LEAST the validity of that aspect as well, that is unless 7-eleven plans to skip out on you without a notice. As for International participants the same is true . . . we are NOT asking you to pay us anything. We are, however, asking you pay to join the programs we direct you to.
What does Target Membership mean? The simplest way to explain is that this program is open to any and all who would wish to participate whether U. S. or International. Its membership, however, is strictly limited. The target membership is 1 million ACTIVE members, meaning that ALL membership requirements are met and weekly requirements are as well. That Target amount is 1 million.
How many membership can I have? ONLY ONE! Your household may have as many as those who fit the requirement. So you may have more than one per household.
Is this some kind of scam? I am amazed at how many times this question comes up in some form. I guess what really amazes me is what those asking it expect in response. Who is going to tell one that their program is a scam? In all actuality there is no way to know if something is a scam or not until after the fact. There, however, some flags that may assist in pre-determining whether or not one is. How much money am I asking you to send us? The answe . . . NONE! Scams generally want your money in advance. Our program not only does not ask for money in advance we don't EVER ask you for a cent! The requirement of loading a debit card with $40 may suggest to some that this is a scam. However, consider the facts. What we are asking you to do is similar to asking you to put money in your own bank account. That is, in effect, what you are doing . . . opening YOUR OWN account, having the card IN YOUR possession AT ALL TIMES and loading, if you so choose, through a reputable business like 7-11. Then having immediate and SOLE access to the funds you add and also having received an additional $20.00 to use AS YOU SEE FIT! Doesn't sound too much like a scam. But just for the sake of arguing let's say that it is. Ask yourself what are you risking and what are you losing? The answer is NADA, Zip, zilch. But for the opposite side what if this is TRUE, then what have you lost? The answer is just as simple . . . AT LEAST $100,000 a year for the rest of your life! Look, you don't know me from Adam, or Eve for that matter, I am trying to help out this financial crisis those in power and acting out of recalcitrance and unparalleled greed have caused. Before I finish what I am doing 1/3 of the US population will have a residual income of $25,000 annually for life. You just need to deciide is ZERO $0.00 too much to risk? If it is then thanks for the time and concole yourself later when you discover you had the opportunity to deal a crashing blow to your financial difficulties.
Why do I have to have a payza account? That is the gateway through which we will make each distribution. Why? Because Payza is much easier to work with than PayPal and it is easier for you to get an account with them. If, however, you live in Texas, we will make accommodations for you.
How do I get paid? I believe that has already been answered, however, to re-iterate payments are made SOLELY (Texas participants excepted) through Payza.
How can you promise what you do not have yet? As I said in another response, "You don't know me from Adam . . . " Simply put. This is an attempt to develop the funds we need to invest in International currencies. My friend Michael is the head of a group of investors who can turn major profit returns in a relatively short period of time. If we can get the money together with which to do that, then, base upon the success his father (the developer) has done for OVER 30 years, we will have the needed funds annually to make the payments to you. IF, however, we are not successful in our investments, WHAT HAVE YOU LOST because of our failure . . . . ABSOLUTELY nothing. We are not asking you for a penny, just that you deposit funds into YOUR Debit card account plus two other activities which ALSO cost you nothing but ALL OF WHICH will earn you money by their nature. As I see it you are ahead even before a payment is maid. As Michael me this opportunity is true. Whether it is or is not will be revealed after-the-fact. It simply is an act of hope and faith on your part. While it is true that all the businesses have NOT be started, they will be with your helAnd by helping us, you will help yourself.
Can my wife be a member? Yes, as long as the spouse has a separate P ayza account and a different membership email. Also, due to requirements of programs like ZNZ and InstantRewards etc, you will also need to find more than one computer with a different I.P. address. The public library will suffice as will an account at your work or Internet Cafe. This them not us!
This sounds too good to be true! Well . . . everyone is entitled to her/his opinion. But that statement has been over used and has brain-washed us to thinking that there is no one out there who is philanthropic enough to help. Frankly if we are successful in raising the investment funds through the actions you make on the Internet our residual annual income will be in the trillions and we simply will not need all that. So our intent is to share the wealth and by so doing make considerable strides to repair the economy and keep the problems from ever happening again or minimize the possibilities. The very notion expressed is what have kept some from actually getting out from under the piles of financial depression. Don't get me wrong, there are countless frauds and scams out there, however, they usually are easy to spot. The basic characteristic is money asked to transfer from your hands to theirs. In this situation THAT DOES NOT OCCUR. That should tell you something in itself. But I am not going to bend your arm. You need to make up your own mind. If you believe that this opportunity is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, then don't waste your time. You will probably not do what you need to do to me requirements and help yourself.
What if I am a member in any of these programs? Look, this is a profit-share program and to participate you must help in developing the profits. If you already have membership in any of the required and they ALLOW you to have more than one position/membership then there is no problem. If, however, participation in any allow ONLY ONE membership, then you must decide whether or not it would be financially best for you to keep your membership or to participate in this program. You MUST join each program through OUR link. Sorry, however, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS . . . unless you have joined any from our other programs.
Do I have to live in the United States? No, as long as you can complete the requirements of the various programs and have a VALID tax ID number either SSN, EIN, or TIN. You may live where ever you wish. We do not make the restrictions it is the various programs you are being sent to.
Can I transfer the benefits? Yes, as long as the legalities are taken care of by you with notarization.This may be in your will. If you wish to transfer the benefits while you are still alive you MUST complete a quit Claim along with your legal responsibilities. However, you may not transfer your benefits to another person who also is a member.
How come it costs $40 bucks? Sometimes I wonder whether or not people read these FAQs. You are PAYING YOURSELF $40, in effect you are EARNING $20.00 to PAY YOURSELF $40.00 to load a FREE Debit MasterCard that you ordered from netSpend! If you have taken the 7-eleven option to load your card 7-eleven will charge you $3.95 as a service fee. So IN THAT CONTEXT you are paying ONLY $3.95 to participate in this program, however, YOU MADE $16.05 to PAY YOURSELF $40.00. The money is yours you can go spend the $60.00 on your card and close the account if you desire.
Why do I have to fill out a W9 or W8? Because we are paying out a very large amount of money annually. If we cannot transfer the responsibility to you for taxes then we must take care of that income. Therefore you will receive an annual 1099 so that the IRS knows your benefit is no longer OUR tax liability. Thus the tax liability is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
I thought this suppose to be free, why are there pay jobs, your ad said the program was free? The program Paradigm Profit-Share Program (PP-SP) is FREE to join. We require NO payments to us of any kind. Contingent upon your locale of residents the assignments MAY have some pay requirements associated with participating in them. THAT IS THEIR REQUIREMENT NOT OURS! If you are a U.S. citizen or LEGAL resident of the United States you will incur no assignment costs. If not then some assignments have costs associated with your participation. We apologize, however, such is out of our control or purview.

Robust and pleasantly bitter, broccoli rabe is one of my "go-to" tender and crunchy vegetables. This brassiceae holds up well as a simple side dish when sautéed with garlic, chili flakes, and olive oil or as a pleasant addition to grain salads. In this recipe, the broccoli rabe is cut with sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic dressing, and zesty roasted lemon. Hot, cold, side dish, or main, this grain salad is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Hearty grain salads are the ideal way to slowly and steadily tiptoe into fall. Although fall is my most favorite season, it is never easy to say goodbye to the lazy days of summer. This salad uses the last of the season's farmers' market tomatoes, yet still holds the light and refreshing quality that we crave in the summer. Bulgur wheat serves as a filling and dense grain that is partnered with warming citrus notes to complement the broccoli rabe as well as the changing weather.
warm Bulgur Wheat salad with Broccoli Rabe, Roasted Lemons, Za'atar Tomatoes, and Roasted Garlic Dressing
serves 3-4
1 bunch of broccoli rabe, ends trimmed
1 cup bulgur wheat
2 organic lemons, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
2 tbsps olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp za'atar spice blend
salt and pepper
1 head of garlic
grated zest of 1/2 an organic lemon
juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil + 2 tsps
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the tops of the garlic cloves. Drizzle 2 tsps of olive oil over the exposed surface of the garlic. Wrap in parchment paper, then in foil, and bake. Check the garlic after 40 minutes. It is ready when the cloves are completely soft and a knife can easily pierce the flesh. Allow to cool and squeeze garlic from the skin.
On two separate sheet pans lined with parchment paper, arrange the lemon slices on one tray and the cherry tomatoes on another. Toss lemons with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp za'atar. Roast lemons for 15 minutes and tomatoes for 20-30 minutes or until slightly shriveled but still juicy. Toss half way through.
Blanch the broccoli rabe for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling salted water. Submerge in an ice bath and squeeze dry. Coarsely chop and set aside.
Place 2 cups of water and 1 cup bulgur wheat into a small pot. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes. Drain any excess water, and place bulgur wheat into a large bowl.
For the dressing, combine roasted garlic cloves, lemon zest, lemon juice, golden balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil with the motor running, and blend for 30 seconds or until emulsified.
Pour 1 tbsp of dressing into bulgur wheat and gently fluff. Toss in the broccoli rabe and most of the tomatoes and lemons. Add the rest of the dressing and gently toss together. Garnish with reserved tomatoes and lemons.

Manuals, Specs and Instructions
I purchased my Eflite Stearman PT17 15e used from craigslist. The previous owner had a maiden flight and crashed but it was not badly damaged. The left main gear was ripped off, a few faux cylinders on the cowl were busted, and a broken prop. I added plywood reinforcement to the main gear mounting area, reinstalled the blind nuts, and added balsa pieces and filler to re-sculpt the fuselage around the gear. I recovered just the lower nose and gear area with UltraCote Sky Blue covering, purchased a new Cowl with Dummy Motor, and installed a wood prop.
My Maiden Flight
My first flight revealed why this Stearman PT17 crashed on its original maiden flight. It was tail heavy! Here's the First Flight Video:
Not sure if the video shows it but I had all I could do to get it back down in one piece. Prior to my first flight I did put the Stearman on my CG Machine but it didn't look that tail heavy. I later learned that with the Stearman's short nose moment, getting the fuselage level is even more important. With its nose closer to CG, more weight is needed to get it right.
After removing the existing lead weight from the top of the motor box and throwing it on a scale, I found it was a mere 3 ounces! There was no additional weight on the original cowl or anywhere else. So I put the Stearman back together, put it on my CG Machine, and stacked weight on the front of the cowl until it leveled out. 4.9 ounces is what it took. I epoxied it under and around the brown exhaust ring and crankcase. Flew it again and all is well!
Battery Tray and Power Switch
Originally the power switch was mounted in the stock location on the side of the fuselage toward the nose. Since I was recovering the nose, I decided to relocate the power switch inside the hatch so it was not visible from the outside. The pencil tracing on the bulkhead around the switch is where a hole is the cockpit/hatch so it does not interfere. The power switch wiring on the Eflite 40A Pro ESC was long enough for this location without adding wire. The white Depron foam is just cushion for the end of the battery, as the motor collar protrudes through slightly. I use a Velcro battery strap in addition to the Velcro on the bottom of the tray.
Pilot Figure "Hank The Tank"
I first installed a pilot figure with scarf from a ParkZone SE5a. It was just not right… too small, wrong color, too old-timey military looking. So I replaced it with a little larger 1/9th scale civilian pilot figure from Horizon Hobby. Now "Hank The Tank" is large and in charge! And the colors go really well with the Stearman.
Of course Hank didn't go in without some coaxing. I cut 1/2″ off his waist because he was looking over the windscreen and an 1/8″ in between each shoulder. I epoxied his arms back on, ground smooth, and repainted after taking a little material off either side of his flying helmet to allow a scarf to set in more around his neck. Horizon's description says the pilot figure is constructed of fiberglass but I did not see any fiberglass strands in mine. It was molded from solid pinkish colored resin and very easy to work with.
Wheel Replacement
The Eflite Stearman PT-17 15e ARF comes with foam wheels. To make it look more scale and get rid of some of the bounciness, I switched to Dubro 2.75″ Low Bounce soft rubber smooth wheels.
Once dialed in, the Eflite Stearman PT-17 15e flies great and looks awesome in the air!
