Arts & Humanities - 11 August 2006

I've been asked to write a toast for my fiance's father for our upcoming wedding. He is a formal Russian businessman, and I am looking for a traditional Russian toast that a father might give at his daughter's wedding. If it was possible to have a translated toast, as well as the original Russian, that would be ideal. You could go back into history or it could be a poem or except from a traditional poem. Thanks!

I've been working on my Phd and need to take a break and read something different.
Recommend a good book for me. Doesn't have to be fiction - can be anything. Tell me what it's about etc. Sell it. No, don't sell it - just tell me about it.
You'll have to do this by 2.55pm GMT because that's when I'm going out (hopefully to buy that sh!t hot book you've told me about).

I've read Inkheart and Inkspell and I can't wait for the final installment, I've recently brought Dragon Rider and I'm gonna try and get round to reading it soon, but I was wondering what other books of hers that you like and whether it would be worth me reading them.

Does anyone know info of two person related to the field of arts or antiques. They are A. W. Bahr and W. W. Winkworth.
They seem to be the art scholars or collectors in the early 20th.
Thanks a lot !
