These are my more expanded, formulated thoughts from the show. Or even on larger issues that need exploring.
This account is not affiliated with the show or MSNBC. My thoughts are my own.
What does the pastry plate think?
I — this — exists at the pleasure of Steve Kornacki. Without him, none of this would be possible. I also exist as long as the lawyers at MSNBC think it is not a bad idea. I hope they see this fan effort as a fun way of extending the UP brand, but who knows how lawyers think.
At all times, this site and the twitter stream @UpPastryPlate will reflect the UP show in the best possible light. Call me a sell-out if you must, but I know who butters my bread. Don’t ask me to start a rift of any kind between or among Steve, Chris, me, other pastry, the UP Mugs, MHP’s plate, any other MSNBC host, etc. You can’t bait the plate.
I hope as a loyal UP fan, you will always suspend your belief that a plate of pastries can think, talk, tweet and blog. It will be much more fun playing along than succumbing to reality.

The indoor/outdoor bar at Hotel ZaZa is a premier destination for guys pretending to have Dirk Diggler-sized wallets and women hoping to believe them. Doesn't mean the guys pretend to have class. Indeed, one desperate gentleman tried this out on a young woman: "You're so amazing, I'd pay to spend a night with you."

Description The establishment of the Commercial Rooms, Corn Street, grew out of the desire of businessmen and merchants of Bristol to have a meeting place where transactions could be carried out in comfort, and which subscribers could use as a social and business centre. The Exchange in Corn Street has provided this facility to some extent, but the Commercial Rooms proved on opening to be a far more popular venue for such activities.
A committee was established in 1808 to consider the foundation of the "Commercial Coffee Rooms", and at a meeting in November of that year the sum of £10,000, the estimated requirement, was guaranteed within 24 hours. The foundation stone was laid on the 19th March 1810, and the Rooms opened to subscribers in October 1811. The first President was John Loudon McAdam, the Road Surveyor to the Bristol Turnpike Trust, later to become famous as the inventor of the "macadam" road surface which transformed the turnpike roads.
The fine building, in the Grecian style, was designed by Charles Augustus Busby, and was his first important commission. In 1976 the building was restored and redecorated.

Here we have a set of four odd charms for the Solar Exalted based on the Perform skill.
If you want more Exalted Charms, HERE is a booklet of modern ones.
If you want more Exalted material in general, it’s over in the White Wolf Tab.
Unlike most slight-of-hand, the Slights charm is directed at fooling the universe rather than a lesser audience. The user may entirely transform small objects (or make minor modifications or repairs on larger ones) for up to one scene. The user may make the conjuration (through the transformation of a pebble or a few molecules of air) or modification of small items permanent, but this is limited by both his or her net resources or salary (he or she must be able to afford the item or modification) and by the need to spend a health level as well as motes to make such an “instant shopping trip”.
This charm lets the user imprint a fragment of his or her vitality on a beam of light, making it quasi-sentient. Such beams can scout around for their summoner, shine light in enemies eyes (or worse if the original beam was intense enough), shift their apparent form – and are very, very, fast. They’re commonly used to seek things out or to carry messages. The user may so enscroll one beam of light per success on a roll of (Charisma + Occult).
The Light of Truth can reveal a great deal, and often quite a lot more then is strictly comfortable. It allows the user to substitute Occult for Investigation or Awareness when searching for things, to strip away any attempts at deception (via an opposed roll), to purge various forms of Darkness via opposed willpower checks (roll until one side or the other has three net successes), or to strip away any unnatural emotions, compulsions, and self-deceptions (this can have very odd effects on Ghosts and Abyssal Exalted).
Unfortunately, there are side effects on the user. User’s cannot deceive themselves about their motives while the light shines and so must act entirely in accordance with their virtue checks, cannot lie or attempt to deceive others even by misdirection or half-truths (they may simply refuse to talk – but this is often just as telling), and will themselves be purged of any dark gifts or unholy powers they may have acquired. They will find it increasingly difficult to turn away from evil without acting or to act unethically even while they’re not using the Light of Truth.
After one has learned to open the gates of light, the gates of shadow are a simple matter. Wrapping yourself in a mere trace of shadow-stuff provides a two die bonus on attempts to intimidate or deceive others. Tenuous veils of it make an area impossible to probe magically and difficult (5) to observe physically. Unfortunately, it also adds (2) to the difficulty of seeing out of the area. Finally, the user may create solid shapes of darkness. Unfortunately, these are relatively fragile, having 5/3 Soak and health levels equal to the character’s successes on an (Intelligence + Occult) check. Creating detailed items, or entrapping someone, requires a (Dexterity + Occult) check and normally allows a dodge check to escape.
Sadly, The Ebon Cloak is incompatible with Light of Truth. In fact, they counteract each other very neatly.

They will be joined by our friend from philosophy, Malte Willer, who will present his paper “Simplfying counterfactuals,” for a big Chicago presence at the AC. Congratulations to all!
The University of Chicago’s Humanities Day is October 17th, and the Department of Linguistics has several faculty members who will be presenting.
Due to space limitations, please register at http://humanitiesday.uchicago.edu to reserve your seat now!
From Sumeria, Egypt, Phoenicia, and Greece to China and the Mayan empire, writing has been central to civilization and has been invented several times independently around the world, using just four basic models: in this class, we explore the four types of writing and their histories, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages for particular languages and age groups, as well as the challenges for learners and the prospects for orthographic reform and degradation in English.
A new sign language has been emerging in Nicaragua for approximately 40 years. In this talk the critical differences and similarities will be presented between acquiring a language as children do when they learn a signed or spoken language, and creating a language as the Nicaraguan signers have done. Important cultural and contextual conditions for working in Nicaragua will also be discussed.
Over the past 2-3 decades, linguists have attempted to account for the emergence of Language in mankind on the Darwinian evolutionary model. The scholarship has generally focused on articulating various ecological factors, chiefly changes in the hominine anatomy and mental capacity, which account for the protracted and incremental way in which language may have arisen (though some still subscribe to saltationism). Capitalizing on inter-individual variation and population structure, I also speculate on how linguistic diversity and community-specific norms emerged (while the agency lies in individuals) and on how the phenomena of language birth and death seem to have recurred several times over since the dispersal of our species out of East Africa about 50.000 years ago. These phenomena make it difficult to reconstruct a primordial language, if there is any reason at all to prefer language monogenesis over polygenesis.
Saying that something is a matter of semantics is usually a way of saying that it is unimportant in a particular way: that it is a matter only of how we define things. Semantics, however, is also a branch of the science of linguistics, the branch that deals with the systematic ways in which linguistic expressions relate to an extralinguistic reality. This presentation will explore some matters of semantics—what is and isn’t systematic about linguistic meaning, what kinds of discoveries have linguists made about meaning, and how the relation between sound and meaning figures in verbal art.

Through seven weeks of play, four of the five Southeastern Ohio Athletic Conference teams remain eligible to take the conference crown, making Friday’s matchup between Warren (2-5, 0-1) and Gallia Academy (5-2, 1-0) all the more important to each side.
Should the Warriors lose, their shot at an SEOAL title will be gone and a second consecutive losing season will be clinched.
Needless to say, Warren head coach Andy Schob’s squad has a lot riding on its road trip to Memorial Field.
Schob’s defense, which is allowing 36.8 points per contest, will have its hands full against a high-flying Blue Devil offense, which is putting up a whopping 44.1 points per game.
Leading the offensive machine are quarterback Wade Jarrell and wide receiver Logan Allison. The dynamic duo have combined for 1,058 yards and 22 scores of the ground, and 662 of Jarrell’s 1,801 passing yards and 11 of his 21 touchdowns were caught by the secure hands of Allison.
Gallia Academy head coach Wade Bartholomew liked what he saw from his offense in the team’s first seven games and insisted that a balanced attack will place stress on Warren’s defense.
An impressive offensive performance will be necessary to top a Warren squad that has scored 40-plus points twice this season. Containing dual-threat quarterback Austin Klintworth will be the No. 1 objective for a Gallia Academy defense that is coming off of a 49-point gashing from Portsmouth.
Bartholomew noted that his defense must improve upon its open field tackling this Friday and for the rest of the season.
“We have to make plays when we have the opportunities to do so,” Bartholomew said.
Kickoff from Memorial Field is set for 7:30 p.m., and other SEOAL fans will surely keep an eye on the progress of this conference battle.

If we trace the chronology of the seventh art in Macedonia, we immediately notice that the first film footage that drew international attention to the stormy Macedonian milieu was Lucien Nonguet’s MASSACRES DE MACÉDONIE (MASSACRES IN MACEDONIA, 1903). This was one of many directed film journals, filmed and entirely processed in the Pathé studio in Vincennes near Paris. However, the first authentic films about Macedonia are the films of Charles Rider Noble, who was, as a representative of the Charles Urban Trading Co. of London, given the task of documenting the current events in the Balkans during the period after the Ilinden uprising. It is thought that his film MACEDONIAN UPRISERS FIGHT AGAINST THE TURKS (England, 1903) contains the first “live” killing captured on film. This was actually the first film portrait of Macedonia in Europe and the world, as well as the first official presence of a film professional on the Macedonian soil.
According to Milton Manaki, his brother Janaki bought a Bioscope No. 300 movie camera in 1905, manufactured by the same company that Charles Rider Noble was working for. It marks the outset of the creative history of the Macedonian cinema. Milton first tried out this unexpected gift from his brother to film his 114-year-old grandmother Despina, born in the 18th century. The legendary Manaki brothers continued shooting other events, famous people, gatherings, folk and religious customs and so on, and in 1911 they filmed the Turkish sultan Mehmed V Reshad’s visit to Salonica and Bitola. In their framing they had a realistic approach toward the actual event. This is what Miron Černenko says about the work of Milton Manaki, the first cameraman in the Balkans: “He never edited his material, but showed it in the same form as it came out of the camera”.
In 1919, Arsenij Jovkov wrote the screenplay for an Ilinden film – which was never shot, due to financial reasons – inspired by the myth of Prince Marko. A year later, Trifun Hadži Janev, who had worked in Hollywood as a set manager, built the Vermion Cinema in Voden, with a repertoire of titles purchased in Thessaloniki. In 1921, the Manaki brothers organised their first public screening in the yard of their own movie theater in Bitola. Following Jovkov’s idea, the two-part documentary film MACEDONIA (1923) was made, initiated by the Sofia-based Macedonian emigrés with an intention to remember the Macedonian uprising against the Ottoman Empire on St. Elias Day, 1903. Film critic Ilindenka Petruševa wrote this about the film: “The camera dynamically follows the magnificent procession through the streets of Sofia, at moments slowly crabbing, coming up close to Delčev’s closest associates walking behind the sarcophagus, holding a close-up of the pledge written on the front of the sarcophagus (binding the future generations with an oath to bury these sacred bones in the capital of an independent Macedonia), and then showing the faces of the gathered people.” Soon after they had their own cameras, others, like Blagoja Drnkov and Nikola Hadži Nikolov from Skopje, Kiril Minoski from Prilep, Blagoja Pop Stefanija from Ohrid, Stojan and Branko Malinski and Sigfrid Miladinov from Kumanovo, and other film enthusiasts also began their film activity. What at first seemed like amateur cinema soon became a serious profession.
In 1946, the Kultura Cinema in Skopje showed Grigorij Aleksandrov’s film CIRCUS (TSIRK, Soviet Union, 1936), as the title with Macedonian subtitles on record. With the foundation of the Vardar Film production company in 1947, and the State Film Archive in 1951, the film industry in Macedonia became institutionalised. The 1948 appearance of the collectively directed documentary newsreels marks a new beginning in the creation of documentary films.
One of the newest professions of the time being was put to test – that of the film director, without whom any future project would be inconceivable. While a number of documentaries had already been produced, the first Macedonian feature FROSINA (d.: Vojislav Nanović) was filmed in 1952.
In 1956, the Tehnofilm Company for technical film services was formed. At the same time, the Macedonian film professionals were discussing the filmmaking opportunities offered by television technology. Many discussions and polemics were held about the ways in which cinema and this new marvel called television are similar, and yet vastly different.
Miron Černenko, Makedonskiot film (Macedonian Cinema), Kinoteka na Makedonija, Skopje 1997, p. 17.
Kulturen život, No. 3-4, Skopje 1995, p. 54.
Over the years, film directing came to be considered and respected as a crucial factor in the creation of a film, where the responsibility is more than complex. The investigator of the phenomenon of film directing, the director and writer Ljubiša Georgievski, divides the period of filmmaking in Macedonia into three stages: a stage of foreign filmmakers, a stage of mixed foreign and domestic filmmakers, and a stage of domestic filmmakers, thus explaining the onset of the film directing art in Macedonia. From today’s point of view, it seems pointless to ask questions such as “Why were Macedonian individuals limited in carrying the burden of an independent directorial engagement?” As a matter of fact, “the Macedonian cinema, in all the processes of its creation, is a product of the filmmakers of Macedonia” .
Finally, in 1963 Tehnofilm and Radio-television Skopje were fused, creating a new potential feature film production entity. The Television Skopje begun operating on December 14, 1964.
The examples through which we can analyse a director’s poetics with all the attributes of an auteur are truly limited. The reason for this is that in extremely very few cases the screenwriter is the actual director of the film.
Of the selected odd documentary titles (e.g. PTICITE DOAGAAT / THE BIRDS ARE COMING, d.: Branko Gapo, 1956; DVANAESETTE OD PAPRADNIK / THE TWELVE OF PAPRADNIK, d.: Dimitrie Osmanli, 1965; SVADBA NA ŠARPLANINECOT / THE WEDDING OF THE ŠAR PLANINA SHEEPDOG, d.: Trajče Popov, 1970; DRUGARI / COMPANIONS, d.: Dušan Naumovski, 1971; SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI, d.: Ljubiša Georgievski, 1974; JAS, BLAGA MICANOVA / I, BLAGA MICANOVA, d.: Laki Čemčev, 1977; TULGESH, d.: Kole Manev, 1977; SREKNA NOVA GODINA / HAPPY NEW YEAR, d.: Vladimir Blaževski, 1978; GOLGOTHA, d.: Meto Petrovski, 1979; DAE, d.: Stole Popov, 1979; MARKOVI KULI / MARKO’S TOWERS, d.: Boris Damovski, 1989; LJUBOVTA NA KOČO TOPENČAROV / THE LOVE OF KOČO TOPENČAROV, d.: Antonio Mitrikeski, 1991; BERIKET / YIELD, d.: Mitko Panov, 1994; ROZA, d.: Maja Mladenovska, 2000; RADOSTA NA ŽIVOTOT / JOY OF LIFE, d.: Svetozar Ristovski, 2002) one can make an anthology of the creative non-TV documentary film that would include works by directors who were active in the second half of the twentieth century, but also works by our contemporaries who are still active and whose works are shown on the current international festivals. It could also stand as a quality cross-section of the development of the Macedonian creative documentary film.
It offers the filmmakers a wider range of researching. The same observations apply to the TV documentaries. With the appearance of television, the journalist often finds himself in the role of a co-author, or an assistant to the director.
A number of significant works produced for TV were created in the last two decades (e.g. GLAS / THE VOICE, d.: Ivan Mitevski, 1984; MONISTA VO NUŽNICI / PEARLS IN CLOSETS, d.: Vlado Cvetanovski, 1984; MOJOT TATKO IZET / MY FATHER IZET, d.: Blagoja Markovski, 1986; SESTRI / SISTERS, d.: Aljoša Simjanovski, 1990; KAKO NORMALEN BRAK / SUCH A NORMAL MARRIAGE, d.: Ivo Trajkov, 1996; RAZME, d.: Slobodan Despotovski; SKOPJE PO SEKAVANJE / SKOPJE FROM MEMORY, d.: Darko Mitrevski, 2000; SPISOKOT NA TONI MANDŽA / TONI MANDŽA’S LIST, d.: Marija Dzidzeva, 2003; DECATA OD 1948 / THE CHILDREN OF 1948, d.: Suzana Dinevski, 2004; MOLITVA / PRAYER, d.: Stefan Shashkov, 2004; PLANETARIUM, d.: Kiro Urdin/Ivan Mitevski, 2005; PATUVANJE VO G MAJOR / VOYAGE IN G MAJOR, d.: Georgi Lazarevski, 2006; MAKEDONSKI SON / MACEDONIAN DREAM – A GIRL AND HER ACCORDION, d.: Biljana Garvanlieva, 2006).
Since 1991, following the constitution of the Macedonian Television (the former TVS) and the first transmission of the television signal through the Macedonian satellite segment, the possibilities for unlimited presentation of the film and TV works are no longer taboo. In one of his renowned works, Apocalypse Postponed, Umberto Eco clarifies in a very interesting way the particularities of this trenchant and incredibly powerful medium. The Macedonian Television is, so far, still standing as the most stable, most serious, even the only continuous producer of television feature films, made especially for the television medium.

According to previously-published data, around 1,300 documentary films have been produced in Macedonia. Today around 600 films have been stored in the archives of the Macedonian Cinematheque. The same amount of films are stored in the archives of the Macedonian Television. The already non-existent Vardar Film (whose bank account has been blocked for the last few years), along with the former monopolistic distributor Macedonia Film, produced virtually every single documentary film from the period of World War II to the independence of the Macedonia. In this era of new cognition and confirmation of values, some Macedonian filmmakers were awarded by an Oberhausen prize and an Oscar nomination (S. Popov for DAE), Prize in Venice (M. Mančevski for PRED DOŽDOT / BEFORE THE RAIN), a prize in Cannes (M. Panov for BERIKET / YIELD), a prize in Zagreb (M. Dzidzeva for SPISOKOT NA TONI MANDŽA / TONI MANDŽA’S LIST), a prize in Wiesbaden (S. Ristovski for RADOSTA NA ŽIVOTOT / JOY OF LIFE), a prize in Novgorod (G. Trenčovski for EZERSKATA ZEMJA NA NIKOLA K. / LAKELAND OF NIKOLA K.), and received many TV festival awards.
Since 1992, some 15 new production companies came into being. Around a hundred documentary films have been produced in this last decade, significantly less than over the past 40 years, when the Macedonian Republic existed as part of the Yugoslav Federation along with five other republics. The current production output amounts to about 10 documentary films per year, of which only 1-2 are creative documentaries. Until now there have been some so-called small co-productions with the other Balkan countries, Bulgaria, Albania, and the former Yugoslav republics (e.g. DOMA / HOME, d.: Gjorce Stavreski, Macedonia/Croatia 2007), with all of their post-Socialist similarities and differences. The co-production projects were supported by embassies, Pro Helvetia, the government Broadcasting Council, Municipalities, private sponsors, or foundations (e.g., VERUVAM VO MAKEDONIJA / I BELIEVE IN MACEDONIA, d.: G. Trenčovski, 2007, supported by the Boris Trajkovski International Foundation).The subjects of recent documentary films are the state, cultural heritage, or artifacts. There are many personal stories in the narration, with less humour, but more stereotypes and conventions. There are still taboos in the choice of themes. It is harder to get support for a project which deals with veiled communist-political or controversial topics.
Regarding directors, there are approximately 25 independent, 10 dependent, 20 pure documentary ones, and 5 exiled ones. The Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Skopje is the only institution that takes care of the education of the young filmmakers, although not systematically enough, and recently the private ESRA in Skopje, where the documentary genre should be established more studiously. At these schools, documentary filmmaking is part of the curriculum. The students learn documentary filmmaking for one or two semesters.
There’s the huge national broadcasting service, the MKRTV – Macedonian Radio and Television, which is currently undergoing transformation. And there are some private television productions: A1, Sitel, Telma, Kanal 5, Alsat, Kanal VIS, SkyNet, TV Intel.
The largest maker of documentaries is the MKRTV. Its significance for creating an awareness for the continual need for documentary films is crucial for the development of the documentary film in Macedonia.
In the process of closing down cinema theatres (Cinema Centar in Skopje, Cinema Balkan in Strumica, many cinemas in the western part of Macedonia), the viewer’s focus is turned towards the TV and the festival screenings. There are also film festivals, which do not continuously follow the documentary film form (Cinedays, the Roma Golden Wheel and Skomrahi in Skopje, ECO Festival in Ohrid, and three that are already established: Manaki Brothers in Bitola, Skopje Film Festival and the newest, the AsterFest in Strumica, the only one profiled for documentary films. At its third edition , an informal conference on South Eastern European documentarists was held. There it was concluded that the documentary filmmakers from the region are in need of a workshop for creating documentary films. Also, the need for associating the festivals with the producers from the Balkans was emphasised as one of the priorities which should be taken into consideration by international financiers who support the initiatives of the smaller or less developed countries. In August 2007, the Tiberiopolian Film Alliance was founded a special kind of Film Institute, with a profiled discourse for research in the field of short and documentary films, as deficient forms of artistic expression in the state and regional Euro-Balkans film belt, an initiative aimed at a broadened Balkans and South Eastern European Association for festival programme exchange and film co-productions between Macedonia, Albania, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, Serbia (including Kosovo), Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria.
The lack of steady and stable funds for the formation of a budget has become a big problem which confuses the filmmakers and affects the creative improvisation other slow-solving problems. That’s why, here, a new association of the cinematic Balkans with its neighbours may sprout. Thus there should be no limitations and borders. The basic goal should be the unity of the creative potential. The misunderstanding between the Ministry of Culture and the independent filmmakers has lasted too long. There were many privileged, but very few who regularly walked the path from application to realisation. Also, belonging to a certain political party played a large role in the unfair dealings between civil servants and the ordinary, independent and apolitical filmmakers. From January 1st 2008, the National Film Fund will definitely start to function. As a separate institutional body, it will decide in the creation and financing of film in Macedonia. Until then, the State’s support for documentary film will remain humiliatingly low, in comparison to the support for fiction shorts and feature-length films.
The Macedonian cultural transition has been endlessly prolonged, owing to the bad politics in the decision-making process on priority support. But still, in personal initiatives and in the activity of independent documentary makers of short films, there is hope that the situation will begin to change in the near future. One example is the unofficial meeting of documentarists from the South Eastern European countries which was held at the third AsterFest in Strumica. In a similar way, a base is established for the formation of a special Balkans network for new film forms, which together with the new South Eastern European festivals formed in the new millennium, represents a way of implementing direct ideas and concepts from documentary filmmakers in the region.
Goran Trenčovski (Strumica, Macedonia, 24. 4. 1970) is a film director, head of AsterFest and president of TFA. Graduated film and theatre directing at the art academy in Novi Sad. He directed several TV projects in different genres (serial, documentary, docudrama, feature) as well as stage performances and a number of plays by both classical and modern writers. Trenčovski who also has an experience as producer, publisher and writer, currently works as a free-lance film and theatre director and scriptwriter. Since its foundation in 2005, he is employed at festival AsterFest in his Macedonian hometown Strumica which mainly focuses on film and video works of authors coming from or living in the Western Balkan Region. The festival gains its international reputation especially to its documentary sections. Such, he made network experiences as well as to his involvement with the Tiberiopolian Film Alliance – Institute for Docs & Shorts.

The 2013 MLA annual convention in Boston was extremely well attended–Rosemary Feal and the wonderful MLA staff should be congratulated not only for reaping such outstanding numbers this year but also for having Gao Xingjian, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, in attendance!
It was the best conference experience for Cambria Press yet! There were also other factors that contributed to this particular convention being a stellar one for Cambria Press.
First, Professor Victor Mair, general editor of the Cambria Sinophone World Series, along with esteemed editorial board members such as Professor Shu-mei Shih (UCLA), Professor Haun Saussy (University of Chicago), and Professor Liu Jianmei (University of Maryland / Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), attended this MLA annual convention to participate in critical sessions on Sinophone studies. Unfortunately, Professor David Der-wei Wang (Harvard University) and Professor Jing Tsu (Yale University) were not able to attend as planned due to unexpected circumstances.
Second, it was encouraging to see a greater (and much-needed) international representation in the MLA sessions. As far as Sinophone studies is concerned, many individuals have pressed hard for this, but special credit must be accorded to Professor Christopher Lupke for his steadfast pushing, which was definitely fruitful–there were not only more sessions this year, but every session saw rooms so crowded that atttendees had to stand or sit on the floor!
Third, Professor E. K. Tan (SUNY Stony Brook) was on hand to see his book, Rethinking Chineseness, for the first time, as were Gao Xingjian and Dr. Mabel Lee (University of Sydney) who flew in from France and Australia respectively for the launch of Gao Xingjian: Aesthetics and Creation.
Gao Xingjian also participated in two sessions, Gao Xingjian on Literature and Theater and A Creative Conversation with Gao Xingjian that were all, unsurprisingly, packed.
Gao Xingjian’s sessions were packed, with all seats taken and no standing room left.
It will be a challenge to top such an exceptional experience, but we will certainly try as we look forward to the 2014 MLA annual convention in Chicago!

About five years ago I bought fifteen dusty miller plants. I was very proud of my purchase because each pot seemed to contain three plants. Well, maybe not, but I was still able to separate the plants in each pot into three small dusty millers.
I planted them around the border of a new garden area that had previously been occupied by an multi-trunked boise’d Arc tree of considerable age. The thing must have been at least seventy-five years old. Old timers remember it being here when the subdivision was first established about 50 years ago.
Anyway, I let the dusty miller grow. A few years ago I transplanted about half of it. It did very well and was starting to crowd out other plants in the garden.
Today I dug up two huge dusty miller bushes in preparation for a spring upgrade to the garden. Going to see about planting some red flowering ground cover in place of the dusty miller. The red color should go well with the dusty miller remaining.
The point of this post is to warn prospective users of the dusty miller plant. It is pretty. Nice and greenish gray in color. Compliments nearly any decor. It also grows into bushes if you don’t trim it out on a regular basis. It likes to send out shoots of pretty yellow flowers that attract bees by the dozens. The flowers are not nearly as nice as the gray colored leaves and it takes a lot of pruning to keep them under control.
Over all, I guess the dusty miller is a good investment. The plants were certainly cheap enough. They are drought hardy and do well even in the recent reduced rainfall in north Texas. Low maintenance but not ‘no’ maintenance. They do require some pruning to keep them looking good.
The present setup is a 44 foot dipole (44 feet, non-resonant, per leg). A 27 foot vertical (also non-resonant). A tri-band beam and a two meter antenna.
Both non-resonant antennas are fed with 300 ohm twin lead and matched with an antenna tuner. A Johnson KW matchbox for the vertical, a homebrew Z-match for the dipole.
Evidently the dipole is a high impedance antenna when used on 75 meters. I can get a very good match but the tuner arcs at the 200 watt power level. Arcing is not at the capacitors but between the high impedance coil and its pickup loop. Better spacing or insulated wire should solve the problem.
Actual experience while running on 75 meters at the 200 watt level indicate a signal level from s-6 to s-9 with a contact 200 miles to the north. This contact is an old friend and we have had a weekly schedule on 75 meters for the last 15+ years.
Prior to using the non-resonant dipole, I was running about 500 watts to an 80/40 meter trap dipole and the signal was mostly 10db over 9. It cannot just be the reduced power. Appears the non-resonant dipole is not as good as the previous antenna on 75 meters.
I like the non-resonant dipole because it can cover any frequency from 80 thru 10 meters. Okay, so it is not a super good antenna, but it does work and I want to keep it.
So now the plan is to install a special, full sized, resonant dipole for 75 meters. Also, a special full sized, resonant dipole will be installed for 40 meters. The feed lines are already in place. It will simply be a matter of connecting enough wire to the insulators to get to resonance.
Once that is done, I will have all the antenna capability I think I will need for some time to come. Five feedlines to five antennas, three of them multi-band. Looks like I just might have enough to service the three rigs I have available. Now to figure out how to use all three rigs at the same time. Will probably end up with two rigs monitoring seperate bands while using the third rig to work a different band.
I have never been to Pennsylvania to have a cheese steak, so I cannot comment on how good they are. I have had the IHOP style of cheese steak sandwich and I have to admit it is very good.
Not being one to eat out on a regular basis I decided to see if I could duplicate the IHOP sandwich.
I started off by baking some bread. I needed a couple of fairly soft rolls formed into submarine sandwich buns. The trick to making them soft is to bake them at high heat (400 degrees F) for a short amount of time. Just long enough to get them done. Stick them with a toothpick or fork to check doneness. If the toothpick or fork comes out without dough sticking to it, the baking is done. Also, I found that using two packets of yeast makes for a lighter dough. More bubbles in the mixture and it rises faster and farther. Use a couple of tablespoons of sugar when blooming the yeast in warm water. Let it bloom until it has a well established head before adding flour. The sugar allows the yeast to make alcohol and adds flavor to the bread.
Once cool, split the bun lengthwise and dig out shallow troughs in both halves. Butter both halves and broil them in the oven, buttered side up to get just barely toasty. I like to use a mixture of olive oil and roasted garlic instead of butter. The roasted garlic is homemade, and mashed to a paste before it is mixed with the oil. I like lots of roasted garlic. Your tastes might differ.
Keep an eye on the toasting buns. You want them just barely toasted. Golden brown is too dark. We are looking for a golden yellow.
Now sautee some onion in a skillet. The sandwich is just fine without the onion but if you like onion this is how to do it. Sautee in butter or oil until the onion is soft. We are not making onion rings here. Just soften so they won’t fall out of the sandwich. Onion cut into rings is fine. I like white onion but red onion works fine too. Pile the onion into both troughs in both halves of the bun but leave enough room for the steak.
You don’t need to use steak to make this sandwich. Good quality roasting meat will also work. Once the meat is roasted to your liking, cut it into thin strips (like you might get on an Arby’s sandwich) and pile it onto the bun. The thinner you can cut the meat, the lesser quality of meat you can use, while still making it edible. Brisket is a little greasy, but flank steak and roast work well. Of course there is nothing preventing you from using real steak.
Now pile the meat into both troughs of both halves of one bun. Use at least enough to fill the troughs. It does not have to look like an overstuffed Quiznos as shown on the TV ad.
Slice some swiss cheese into strips that are as wide as the bun. Lay these strips onto the meat on one of the bun halves. A single layer of cheese is fine. Use more if you like cheese or are shy on the meat.
Put the two bun halves together, put on a microwave safe plate, and set it in a microwave. Microwave on high for about one minute. Maybe less. We do not want to toast the cheese or have it melt to the point of running down the sides. We just want the cheese to melt and glue the two bun halves together.
Steak sauce can be added as a side. This sandwich is consumed with knife and fork as though it were a real steak. You may find it is too good to doctor with steak sauce.
The IHOP version I had came with a side of home fried potatoes. You can make home fried potatoes very easily at home. Cut a large (or small) potato into strips about one-quarter inch thick, one inch wide and three inches long. cover the bottom of a baking pan with a thin layer of oil (cannola or olive) and add the potato strips. Move the strips around so each has a full coating of oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are half way cooked. Leave the oven at 350 but shift it to broil and let the potatoes cook for another 15 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown. No need to turn them over to broil the bottom side. They will be sufficiently brown all over if they are done. These are not french fries, so don’t try to turn them into fries. Light golden brown is fine. If they end up crunchy, they are overcooked. Remove from oven and lightly salt.
I finally got a chance to check out my two new antennas. The vertical works fine using 300 twin lead to a Johnson KW matchbox. Good performance on 30 meters and up.
The homebrew Z-Match also works great on the 88 foot dipole using 300 ohm twin lead for feedline. Works great on all bands including WARC from 80 thru 10. This particular Z-match will handle up to 500 watts.
I was running out of room for all the equipment and it seemed that the Z-match might be better off sitting on a different part of the station shelf. The relocation was going to mean I would have to swap out the Z-match with the Johnson Matchbox but either tuner should work with either antenna.
Not so. Seems the Johnson Matchbox is not at all happy with the 88 foot dipole. 75 meters, 20 meters, and 10 meters seem to work just fine but it did not do well on the other bands. I am sure I could have corrected the situation by trimming the feedline but I have never been one to start cutting (or adding to) feedlines. I figure if they reach from antenna to rig they must be just the right length. Any matching issues need to be taken care of in the tuner.
So, it is back to the vertical with the Johnson Matchbox and the Z-match will be used on the 88 foot dipole.
On a recent trip to OKC we stayed at a Hampton Inn. Nothing special. Fair service, clean, convenient. They provided WIFI internet service which was appreciated but I am pretty sure the cost was included in the basic price for the room. Nothing is free anymore and probably never was.
Within walking distance of the Hampton was an IHOP. I have seen IHOPs before and have written them off as a place where I would like to dine. They look like a Denny’s specializing in pancakes. I don’t consider pancakes as food qualifying as a meal and don’t need them as a snack either.
Since it was within walking distance of the hotel, we went to the IHOP. I was impressed. Very much like a Denny’s with a pancake fetish. However, if you were not interested in pancakes, there were lots of other choices available.
The menu seemed to sport some reasonable prices as well. Turns out the prices were more than reasonable. Large servings and plenty of food for under seven dollars on average.
I had the cheese steak sandwich. The menu cautioned that it was served with only french fries but I decided to risk possible disappointment.
Turns out the french fries were more like home fries and there were plenty of them. At least one whole potato worth. I was half expecting a kids order of greasy, stale, McDonnald’s shoe string potatoes. I was pleasently surprized.
The sandwich was also better than expected. A six inch sour dough bun with lots of meat. The meat was not super high quality steak but it was tasty, edible, and there was lots of it.
It was covered with melted cheese that was definately NOT velveeta like you get at Arby’s. Appeared to be swiss cheese. Very tasty and very good.
Well worth the seven dollar cost. We will be checking out other IHOPs to make sure this was not a single exception.
Just so I don’t leave you with the wrong impression, I have no quarrel with Arby’s. Decent prices and decent food. I just prefer melted swiss cheese to velveeta.
I have always been of the mind that you cannot have too many antennas. This is particularly true if you have more than one radio. The happy ham has antennas to serve all his radios.
I have three radios so I guess that means I am not completely happy yet but I did progress toward that end this weekend.
Back to ATUs and balanced line. One ATU is attached to a vertical L style antenna with 300 ohm twin lead. This particular vertical works well on all bands from 20 meters up. After next weekend it should also work well on 40.
A second ATU is attached to an 88 foot non-resonant dipole. This dipole has its center up at 50 feet with one end at 30 feet and the other end at 20 feet. Not exactly an inverted vee but starting to approximate that shape. This antenna is driven with 300 ohm twin lead too and works well on all bands 80 thru 10 meters.
A third antenna is the beam up at 55 feet. It is a KLM KT-34. A nice triband four element affair that works wonders on 20, 15, and 10 meters.
A fourth antenna is a simple 40 meter inverted vee. Center up about 40 feet. Ends at 15 feet. This thing will soon be converted to a two element wire beam with switchable directivity favoring either east or west.
A fifth antenna is a two meter full wave vertical. Useful for local repeaters all the way to Fort Worth.
That leaves two coaxial transmission lines unused.
All these antennas are managed through a five position coaxial antenna switch that quickly selects beam, vertical, dipole, dummy load, or 40 meter inverted vee. This will not be the final setup but it is useful in evaluating the various antennas. Now I can get some useful comparisons between the vertical, beam, and dipole.
Later the all band dipole will be used with the TS-120 and homebrew 811 amp primarily on 75 meters.
The vertical and the beam will be used with the ICOM 737 and a Yeasu FL 2000B linear.
The 40 meter antenna will be used with a Drake C-line primarily for CW work.
This entry is more a note to myself an anything else but it should be of interest to anyone interested in antennas. Realize that all of these comparisons are heavily influenced by what I can do physically with the yard I have and the effort I want to invest. Your situation may be different.
This is a comparison of several antenna types both single band and multiple band listing disadvantages of each approach.
The main disadvantage with a ATU free multiband antenna approach is lack of harmonic filtering. Normally a single band dipole is the equivalent of a very narrow tuned filter. This is not the case for dipoles that have been tweaked to perform on multiple bands. Not that I am particularly concerned about harmonics from the commercial gear, but I also have homebrew stuff that may not be as harmonic free.
A secondary disadvantage of ATU free multiband antenna systems is a lack of adjustment in the shack and relatively narrow bandwidth compared to operating with an ATU. Antenna systems characteristics change when it rains and snows as compared to when it is dry. If you can’t tune out those changes, you have to live with the mismatches. Besides, it always seems that I want to operate on a frequency that will not give me a decent swr when I use a no-tune antenna system.
DIPOLE – This is an excellent antenna all by itself but it requires proper installation. Meaning it should be installed as a flat topped antenna at a height not less than 1/4wavelength. I can do that on 20 meters but I have a four element beam for 20 so I am not about to rush outside and put up a 20 meter dipole.
INVERTED VEE – This is a dipole that has a high center support and is allowed to have its ends droop. I can manage a center support of about 50 feet and allow the ends to be up at around 15 feet. Not good for 80 and barely sufficient for 40. Also, with those dimensions, the included angle between legs is such that the antenna ends up being a cloud burner on ALL bands. Take off angle at 90 degrees.
G5RV – This is a 20 meter antenna. I already have and excellent beam for that band. I am not sure what form of mythology considers this to be an all band antenna. Oh sure, it could be all band with an ATU but then nearly anything could be all band with an ATU.
80/40 TRAP DIPOLE – Nearly all band but narrow (100khz) bandwidth on 80 meters. For my location it can only be installed as a cloud burning inverted vee. A poor solution.
WINDOM – Actually just an off-center fed dipole for 80 meters. The idea is to find a feed point that remains fairly constant over frequency, match to it, and enjoy ATU free operation. The main problem with this is that I can’t get this thing up high enough to do any good on 80 and 40 meters. Also, the low swr points shift when it rains.
DELTA LOOP – Works great on 40 meters but does not make a very good all band antenna even with an ATU.
INVERTED L – I can run a wire 50 feet up and 60 feet out but the end will only be 15 feet off the ground. Height problem.
SLOPING DIPOLES – Not enough yard to accomodate them on 40. Forget using them on 80.
SHUNT FEEDING TOWER – I did that for a while. It worked. Did an EZNEC analysis on the setup and found it had a -2.0 DBi gain. Close-in signal strength to a weekly sked dropped from 10 over 9 to 9.
88 FOOT NON-RESONANT DIPOLE – This needs an ATU to be able to work and requires open wire line of sorts to be able to run high swr with low loss, but it can be installed here as an almost flat-topped dipole, can be tuned for very low swr on nearly every ham band from 80 to 10 meters, will not limit me to any range of frequencies. I have been avoiding this antenna because it requires open wire line and there are installation requirements that I cannot meet. However, it can also be made to work with 300 twin lead and I can meet the installation requirements for twin lead.
So now I am back to the 88 foot dipole I was using back in November of 2006. Since then I have also added an L antenna. A 27 foot vertical with 27 foot counterpoise also driven with 300 ohm twin lead and a second balanced antenna tuner. All balanced line and tuners. No baluns. Seems to work fine. It is at least as good as what I was using before and has the advantage of offering operation at any frequency on any band.
If you have the ATUs, use them. If you don’t have the ATUs get some.

I don't know what it was, but everyone I talked to on Labor Day was going through stuff, dejunking, purging, organizing.
I decided to tackle the play room. It's way different than you've last seen. The toys are in a smaller area. The toys tend to be all over the FLOOR in that smaller area. You couldn't walk through it, and the boys were bringing toys out and spreading their mess around simply because there wasn't room in there. Something had to be done.
The stuff I have to do to get rid of things in my house, I swear...!
While I was cleaning out/reorganizing the playroom the boys were SO on my case about not giving anything away. Seriously, it was ridicous. Monkey was getting teary.
"Oh, that's where that [cheap, tiny, plastic, faded, party favor] toy lion was! I love that lion!"
"Really? You never play with that."
"But now I want to LOTS!"
Did he remember the lion today? No. But it fit (barely) in the Random Toy Box that I keep for just such trinkets. So it stayed. For now.
The Redhead was 'helping' me simply to keep an eye on what I was throwing away. He really was suspicious. He wanted a break, so he kept trying to get me distracted. He didn't trust me in with the toys by myself.
"You should go check on [Monkey]."
"I think he's up to something. You should go check. Upstairs."
Yeah, I didn't fall for that.
I made a 'move to the basement' pile of keeper toys, and secured a few giveaway bag hiding places.
Today, while the Redhead was reading on the couch, and Monkey was working on math in the kitchen, I tiptoed upstairs and casually brought down a giveaway bag that was under my bed. I snuck it outside through the garage, and hid it under the hatchback cover thing so the boys couldn't see what was in it - even from in the car. Yes, I've been burned that way before.
Leaving the hatch open, and wearing my quietest flip flops, I kept loading up. Back and forth, from the playroom, where I'd stashed a basket full of toys and books up on the loft bed, through the garage, leaving the door to the garage cracked so they didn't hear it open and close a lot and get suspicious.
I filled one last bag of giveaway and successfully made it back unnoticed.
I had to take Monkey to taekwondo and asked him to just keep his gear in the seat with him instead of in the back. He was cool with that. On the way home he wanted to store it in the back, but that was fine, because after dropping him off I donated the goods and he was none the wiser.
So our house is now 2 big garbage bags and one big basket full of things LIGHTER. Oh, and a giant toy semi-truck.
Toy Story ruined my children's charitable instincts, I swear.
Did I ever tell you this? Monkey, who was 5 when Toy Story 3 came out, was very sniffly at the end of it. His first comments were: "I am NEVER giving toys away, and I'm NOT going to college."
Boom. Thanks, for that, Pixar!

Garfinkel was selected for not just her impressive application but also her commitment to rural community service and agricultural outreach in Alaska. Since 2013 she and her advisor, Dr. Gary Chastagner, have traveled to Alaska at least once per growing season to meet with farmers—many being first-time farmers who benefit immensely from Garfinkel and Chastagner’s knowledge and experience.
In Alaska, the duo visit peony farms in small communities and educate farmers how to identify, diagnose, and manage different plant disease issues. In addition, for the last 3 years they’ve also presented at the Alaska Peony Grower’s Association annual conference.
The $1,500 from the scholarship will help Garfinkel continue her outreach in Alaska. Currently she’s working on an extension bulletin on the Tobacco Rattle Virus, a plant disease Garfinkel and her advisor identified as of one of most important diseases in Alaskan peony farms during their tours last year.

Volcano the Bear can�t be put in a convenient box. Their first disc in about three years finds the duo in rather astonishing homage mode, but all of the trademark Bear traits are also present, making Golden Rhythm / Ink Music of their most perplexing and enjoyable releases.
The duo of Daniel Padden and Aaron Moore has always demonstrated some degree of allegiance to This Heat, but �Buffalo Shoulder,� this disc�s opener, takes the aesthetic to an extreme. The track sounds so much like the work of that late 1970s trio of boundary-busters that anybody might mistake it for a newly discovered relic. The droll vocals and crunchy keyboards are present, and the wayward harmonies sound just like something off Deceit, especially when sung in that fantastic Gareth Williams sound-alike. Of course, Volcano the Bear is never interested in staying in one skin for too long, and by �The Great Reimbursing,� they�ve left This Heat territory for pastures new and strange. Gorgeous, D.I.Y tape manipulations provide forward momentum, but a drone continuously fights against the tide they create, as vibes and organ punctuating the oozy plains of shifting timbre. Is this a more oblique homage, possibly to the dronier sections of Cornelius Cardew�s The Great Learning? All of the other Volcano the Bear tropes are also present; revel in the handclaps and chants that imbue key moments of �Spurious Ruga� and the percussion clashes and splatters, atop bass clarinet invocations, that color �Golden Ink.� The whole disc approaches a kind of unity on the 10-minute �Fireman Show,� where scorching stoner drone and bluesy hollers give way, slowly but inexorably, to a foregrounded drum that�s then supplanted by more heaviness, all capped by some high synth squalls that would make Tim Blake�s ears perk up.
I don�t remember the band ever being so loud, but neither can I recollect such a strong thread of directness and simplicity unifying any previous effort. They have now honed their craft to a science, and there is an ineluctability about the way one track segues into another that replaces the often random feel of earlier albums. The duo�s first effort for Rune Gramofon illustrates maturity and inventiveness in equal measure � a welcome development.

Fresh off being named Best Director at Cannes at the end of last month (making her the second woman ever to take the prize), Sofia Coppola brought her latest film, The Beguiled, to the L.A. Film Festival on Thursday night.
The Southern Gothic psychodrama stars Nicole Kidman as the headmistress of a girls’ boarding school in Confederate Virginia during the Civil War, where the schoolteacher (Kirsten Dunst) and a handful of pupils (Elle Fanning among them) live hidden, for the most part, from the violence. One day, one of the girls finds a Union soldier (Colin Farrell), badly wounded, in the woods by the house, and the women take him in until he can recover. He’s an exciting addition to the household, until his presence only aggravates the women’s feelings of repression and isolation.
In honor of the film’s upcoming June 23 release and as part of an ongoing celebration of Focus Features’ 15th anniversary, the L.A. Film Festival presented a double feature on Thursday night, screening The Beguiled followed by Coppola’s sophomore feature, 2003’s Lost in Translation. In between films, Film Independent curator Elvis Mitchell moderated a conversation with the filmmaker. In the spirit of the double feature, the pair talked about The Beguiled in the context of Coppola’s previous work — and if you thought 1999’s The Virgin Suicides was her first movie, you thought wrong.
But connect with them people did: The film was nominated for four Oscars in 2004, including Best Picture and Best Director, and Coppola took home the statuette for Best Original Screenplay.

~ Scattered,unrelated thoughts popping up!
The Gujarat High Court Case Flow Management (Subordinate Courts) Rules,2016 has been introduced with intent to curb the infamous delay in litigation. These rules are applicable to all civil, criminal and labour courts.
The rules provide for categorization of all cases in four tracks (i.e. Track I to Track IV) with prescribed time period allowed for cases in for respective tracks (i.e. for Track I, 9 months ;for Track IV, 24 months).
The rules provide various small and subtle new procedures which may help to restrict litgants in making delays and allow the courts to have better control in administration of filing and listing of cases.
Most importantly the rules provide fixed time period for each type of cases and the sub-ordinate courts are meant to complete cases in the given time frame and when delay is being caused, sufficient reasons are to be recorded for such delay.
One of the effective rule appears to be of awarding of cost. The rule on cost provides that awarding of cost must be generally treated as mandatory and costs should invariably follow the event and special reasons must be assigned if cost is not being awarded.
However, this is not first time when an effort is made to expedite the procedures , but previous efforts were not effective because many reasons and lack of infrastructures and staff are the main reasons for the delays. These reasons still remain as the hindrance for the proper execution of another effort for speedy trial.
What’s the difference between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer?
Whenever any complaint by public is filed/reported against any government servant/officer, superior officer or ministry is not likely to take any action against such officer/servant. However, such complaints are kept in record to be used against such officer/servant if he is likely to cause harm to superior officer/ministry/government.
In various government organisation /departments date of death of employee/officer are noted by corrupt officers in their diary. In future whenever any misdeed is reported then name of such dead employee/officer is used as having handled/conducted such matter/file as to lead investigation to an dead end.

Well it was another busy week and as always I was looking forward to Friday night out with my friends. We were meeting at the 52nd street sports bar off of Sandy in Portland at 7 pm. Now we heard about this place from Scotty one of the bar tenders at FOX & Hound, he knew the bar manager here and had talked to her about us getting kicked out of the P-Club and she told him to tell us to come there we would be welcome, how cool is that. Her name is Brenda and she really is awesome.
Well I was all ready to leave by 6:45 and no signs of my neighbors so off I went. As I pulled out on the street just a few houses down 5 of the neighbor kids were riding their bikes down the street towards me and nothing I could do but keep going. Hopefully they were too interested in riding to pay much attention to me in the car. There was a little more traffic tonight so took me a little longer to get there so it was about 7:30 when I arrived. I found a parking spot on the street just a little way down from the door. Now there is always a little rush going in someplace totally new but not like it use to be a few years back. It use to be I would sit in the car and watch who was coming and going and who was around and build the courage to get out of the car. Now it is just get out and go and the rush is to see how people accept me or look at me but still fun to go to a new place.
Chris, Cassandra, Amy, Cristine and Bobbie were already there. I think it is just a little bigger than the Sweethome bar we went to the last couple weeks but it may just be the layout inside seemed more open. There were maybe 10 to 15 other people there also and it turns out Cassandra and Cristine got there about 5:30. We ordered some food and played some pool and yes I lost but had fun doing it. Bob, Samantha, Michelle and Alizabeth also showed up while we were eating.
A couple GG’s at the next table started talking to us, actually Chris was trying to download some music on their juke box and couldn’t get it to work so they helped us. Well we got talking to them and had a great time. Their names were Heather and Suzanne. They told us how great we looked and one never gets tired of hearing they look pretty at least I don’t. Somehow we got on to age and I of course told them I was sure I was older than they were and they both said they were older then I thought and Suzanne wanted to bet. Turns out I should have bet as I was a year older than Suzanne and 6 years older than Heather so I guess I still look good for a 48 year old of course the makeup helps a lot. Well Suzanne wanted a picture with me and you all know how much I love getting my picture taken, I couldn’t get my camera fast enough, this is me and Suzanne. They seemed totally okay with our group being there.
Jan, Lynn, Jenn, Kelly and Robyn showed up also so now we had 15 of us there. This was really good considering we were at a new place that we had never been to before. It was nice to get a chance to talk with everyone but as we were spread across 3 tables I kept moving from table to table. I chatted with Samantha for a bit, she had tried doing her nails the way I do but the tape wouldn’t hold. Turns out she bought the regular mounting tape and not the Scots indoor outdoor mounting tape, this tape is water proof and holds up so much better, you can see a picture of the tape in my blog “Great idea for fast beautiful nails“.
I also got to talk with Jenn which was nice as it has been about 6 weeks since we have both been out at the same time. It was nice to catch up on what is new, she has come out to her whole family about Jenn even though she is not yet full time yet. The funny thing is she has told all her neighbors about it but they are never out when she leaves and she keeps hoping they will be so they can see her. I on the other hand none of my neighbors know and it seem almost every time I leave they are out or around and I don’t want them to see me, funny how that works.
Got to talk with Jan and Lynn as it was nice to see them out, they are such a wonderful couple. Jan and I played doubles against a couple guys, don’t remember their names but they asked us to play. Jan and I won both games, we had a good time and they thanked us for the game. Jan did make an awesome shot, she had to shoot to the far end of the table and bounce it back to the same end between their balls and the two we had left. She called the one ball in the corner and in fact she hit it so perfect she split them and both went in opposite corners. I don’t think we could have set it up to do that, great shot. A couple other guys came up and wanted to play us their names were Rob and Jesse and they were good. They beat us 3 games in a row but we had fun. The fourth game was ours, we actually did really well and in the end we won and they had not sunk a ball.
At 10 they also do Karaoke here, Chris sang a couple songs. A couple GG’s came over, their names were Debbie and Gina. They chatted with us for awhile. Debbie asked Chris to sing the song boys of summer I think which he did. We had a lot of interaction with the people here and they seemed fine with us, most of the time actually almost all of the time they came to us to talk so it wasn’t like we were forcing the issue with them which made it nice.
Brenda the bar tender was awesome and so nice, she was a little over worked with us there as it was a lot more business but she did great. She told us we were welcome there any time which made us feel good. Even several of the regular customers, both male and female told us the same and hoped we would come back. Debbie came back over latter just to tell me her and her friend Gina thought I was very beautiful. I never get tired of hearing as it makes you feel so wonderful inside. It really was a fun night. I think we are still going to go to different places instead of the same one every week just to mix it up some though but I am sure we will be back here again. If you are looking for a friendly neighborhood bar check out 52nd street sports bar.
Not sure if I will get out this week during the week but I will be out next Friday as we meet with our Attorney Friday between 3 & 5 which I hope to be there by 3 and then also Saturday we should do our monthly trip to Harvey’s comedy club which is always so much fun. Thanks for reading.

1. By the present appeal, Evonik Degussa GmbH asks the Court to set aside the judgment of 28 January 2015 in Evonik Degussa v Commission, (2) whereby the General Court of the European Union dismissed its action for annulment of the Decision C(2012) 3534 of the European Commission (3) rejecting a request for confidential treatment submitted by the appellant.
2. Where the undertaking or person concerned objects to the disclosure of the information it may refer the matter to the hearing officer. If the hearing officer finds that the information may be disclosed because it does not constitute a business secret or other confidential information or because there is an overriding interest in its disclosure that finding shall be stated in a reasoned decision which shall be notified to the undertaking or person concerned. The decision shall specify the date after which the information will be disclosed. This date shall not be less than one week from the date of notification.
5. The background to the dispute, as stated in the judgment under appeal, may be described as follows.
6. On 3 May 2006, the Commission adopted Decision C(2006) 1766 final relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 [EC] and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement (Case COMP/38.620 — Hydrogen Peroxide and Perborate; ‘the PHP Decision’).
7. In the PHP Decision, the Commission found, in particular, that the appellant had participated in an infringement of Article 81 EC on the territory of the European Economic Area (EEA), with 16 other companies active in the hydrogen peroxide and perborate sector. The appellant, in application of the Commission notice on immunity from fines and reduction of fines in cartel cases (‘the 2002 Leniency Notice’), (8) was granted complete immunity from any fine.
8. In 2007, a first non-confidential version of the PHP Decision was published on the Commission’s website.
9. In a letter to the appellant dated 28 November 2011, the Commission informed the appellant that it intended to publish a new, more complete, non-confidential version of the PHP Decision, setting out the entire content of that decision apart from the confidential information. On that occasion, the Commission asked the appellant to identify the information in the PHP Decision in respect of which it proposed to request confidential treatment.
10. Being of the view that that more complete non-confidential version contained confidential information or business secrets, the appellant informed the Commission, in a letter of 23 December 2011, that it objected to the proposed publication. In support of its objection, the appellant claimed, more particularly, that that non-confidential version contained a significant amount of information which it had communicated to the Commission under the leniency programme, and also the names of a number of its collaborators and information concerning its business relations. In the appellant’s contention, the proposed publication would thus fail to have regard, in particular, to the principles of protection of legitimate expectations and equal treatment and would be liable to have an adverse effect on the Commission’s investigations.
11. By letter of 15 March 2012, the Commission informed the appellant that it agreed to delete from the new non-confidential version for publication all the information that would directly or indirectly enable the source of the information communicated pursuant to the 2002 Leniency Notice, and likewise the names of the appellant’s collaborators, to be identified. On the other hand, the Commission considered that there was no reason for the other information in respect of which the appellant had requested confidential treatment to benefit from confidentiality.
12. Taking advantage of the possibility provided for in Decision 2011/695, the appellant requested the hearing officer to omit from the non-confidential version for publication all the information which it had supplied pursuant to the 2002 Leniency Notice.
13. By the decision at issue, the hearing officer, on behalf of the Commission, rejected the appellant’s request.
14. The hearing officer first of all emphasised the limits of his terms of reference, which enabled him only to determine whether information must be regarded as confidential and not to make good an alleged breach of the appellant’s legitimate expectations.
15. The hearing officer further noted that the appellant’s only reason for objecting to the publication of a new, more complete version of the PHP Decision was that it contained information supplied pursuant to the 2002 Leniency Notice and that the disclosure of such information to third parties was likely to be detrimental to the appellant in the context of any actions for damages brought before the national courts.
16. In the hearing officer’s view, the appellant had not shown that the publication of that information was likely to cause it serious harm. The interest of which an undertaking which has infringed competition law has in the details of its unlawful conduct not being disclosed to the public does not in any event merit special protection. The hearing officer observed, on that point, that actions for damages before the national courts formed an integral part of EU competition policy and that, accordingly, the appellant could not claim a legitimate interest in being protected against such actions.
17. The hearing officer also considered that he was not competent to answer the appellant’s argument that the disclosure at issue would harm the leniency programme, as such a question was outside the scope of his terms of reference.
18. Last, the hearing officer stated that, since his terms of reference were limited to requests for confidentiality, he was not competent to give a ruling on the alleged breach of the principle of equal treatment resulting from the fact that the proposed publication would have the effect of placing the appellant in a less favourable position than other addressees of the PHP Decision who had not cooperated with the Commission.
19. By application lodged at the Registry of the General Court on 2 August 2012, the appellant brought an action for annulment of the decision at issue.
20. In the context of the action, the appellant lodged an application for interim measures, seeing suspension of the operation of the decision at issue. By order of 16 November 2012 in Evonik Degussa v Commission (T‑341/12 R, EU:T:2012:604), the President of the General Court granted that application.
22. By the judgment under appeal, the General Court dismissed the action in its entirety and ordered the appellant to pay the costs.
23. By its appeal, Evonik Degussa claims that the Court should set aside the judgment under appeal, annul the judgment at issue and order the Commission to pay the costs. The Commission contends that the appeal should be dismissed and that the appellant should be ordered to pay the costs.
24. In the context of the appeal, the appellant lodged an application for interim measures, asking the Court to suspend the operation of the decision at issue. By order of 2 March 2016 in Evonik Degussa v Commission (C‑162/15 P-R, EU:C:2016:142), the Vice-President of the Court granted that application.
25. In support of its appeal, the appellant puts forward three pleas in law, alleging, first, infringement of Art 8(2) and (3) of Decision 2011/695, relating to the competence of the hearing officer; second, infringement of Article 339 TFEU and Article 30 of Regulation No 1/2003 concerning the allegedly confidential nature of the information at issue; and, third, breach of the principles of legal certainty and the protection of legitimate expectations.
26. By its first plea, the appellant maintains that the General Court infringed Article 8(2) and (3) of Decision 2011/695 by holding, in paragraphs 31 to 44 of the judgment under appeal, that the hearing officer was not competent to examine the objections based on the principles of protection of legitimate expectations and equal treatment.
27. Before the General Court, the appellant raised a plea alleging infringement of Article 8 of Decision 2011/695, maintaining that the hearing officer had improperly restricted the scope of his control. The General Court rejected that plea as unfounded, in paragraphs 23 to 44 of the judgment under appeal.
28. In paragraph 26 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court stated that the appellant took issue with the hearing officer for having declined to answer the separate arguments relating, in particular, to breach of the principles of legitimate expectations and equal treatment.
30. In paragraph 42 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court held that, in this instance, the principles of law on which the appellant relied were not such rules intended to afford specific protection against disclosure. According to the General Court, unlike, in particular, the rules on the treatment of personal data or the exceptions to the right of public access to documents, (12) such principles are not specifically intended to protect the confidentiality of information or documents. As the objections based on those principles thus fall outside the framework of the task entrusted to the hearing officer under Article 8 of Directive 2011/695 (paragraph 43 of the judgment under appeal), the hearing officer was correct to decline competence (paragraph 44 of the judgment under appeal).
31. Subsequently, the General Court rejected the appellant’s argument that none of the Commission’s services had examined the objections in question, stating that the services of the Directorate-General ‘Competition’ had adopted a reasoned position on those objections, in letters set to the appellant on 28 November 2011 and 15 March 2012, before the matter had come before the hearing officer (paragraphs 45 to 49 of the judgment under appeal).
32. The General Court held in that regard that, in order to ensure effective judicial protection for the appellant, it was appropriate to look at the decision at issue in the context which had led to its adoption and, accordingly, to consider that that decision included implicitly, but necessarily, the positions adopted by the Commission and expressed in the letters of 28 November 2011 and 15 March 2012, in so far as those positions concerned aspects not falling within the terms of reference of the hearing officer (paragraphs 60 and 132 of the judgment under appeal).
33. In its appeal, the appellant claims that the hearing officer is the organ of the Commission which takes the final decision concerning the publication of information which an affected undertaking regards as confidential. The hearing officer should thus be competent to examine all the grounds that may stand in the way of publication. The appellant maintains that, although the hearing officer is competent only to verify the confidential nature of the information, he ought nonetheless to have taken all the relevant requirements into account in his decision, including fundamental rights and the general principles of EU law, which form part of the legitimate interests that may stand in the way of publication.
34. The appellant thus maintains that the reasoning set out in paragraphs 42 to 44 of the judgment under appeal is based on an error of law.
35. In the appellant’s submission, the General Court ought to have found that the hearing officer had not examined the objections which the appellant based on the principles of legitimate expectations and equal treatment and, consequently, ought to have annulled the decision at issue on that ground. In holding, in paragraphs 58 to 60 and 132 to 133 of the judgment under appeal, that the decision at issue ‘by implication, but necessarily’ included the positions taken by the Commission in the correspondence previously exchanged with the appellant, the General Court distorted the content of that decision.
36. The Commission disputes the appellant’s arguments and refers, essentially, to the relevant grounds of the judgment under appeal.
37. The first plea consists, in essence, of two parts.
38. The first part relates to the extent of the hearing officer’s powers under Article 8(2) and (3) of Decision 2011/695 (paragraphs 42 to 44 of the judgment under appeal). The second part concerns the General Court’s rejection of the complaint alleging failure to state reasons for the decision at issue (paragraphs 60 and 67 of that judgment).
39. Under 339 TFEU, the members of the institutions of the Union and the officials and other servants of the Union are required not to disclose information which by its nature is covered by the obligation of professional secrecy. For the purposes of the application of Articles 101 TFEU and 102 TFEU, that obligation is reiterated in Article 28 of Regulation No 1/2003 and Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 773/2004 (13) and is to apply, according to the latter measure, to ‘business secrets or other confidential information’.
40. The Court’s case-law enables the outlines of those concepts to be defined.
42. In addition, the confidential nature of information may result as much from its intrinsically sensitive content, as is the case of business information, as from the combination of the content and the circumstances in which the information was communicated to the public body.
47. The powers of the hearing officer are defined in Decision 2011/695.
48. Articles 7 and 8 of that decision attribute to the hearing officer certain powers in relation to requests for confidential treatment. The hearing officer takes a decision on such requests in the context of access to the file and where information is to be disclosed by the Commission.
49. In the latter hypothesis, Article 8(1) and (2) of Decision 2011/695 states that the person concerned must be informed by the Commission in advance and, where the information in question may constitute business secrets or other confidential information, he may object to its disclosure by referring the matter to the hearing officer. Where the hearing officer considers that the information in question may be disclosed, either because it does not constitute a business secret or other confidential information or because there is an overriding interest in its disclosure, he is to take a reasoned decision specifying the date after which the information will be disclosed, which may not be less than one week from the date of notification.
50. In accordance with Article 8(3) of Decision 2011/695, those provisions are to apply mutatis mutandis to the publication of Commission decisions.
51. In the present case, the appellant maintains that, pursuant to Article 8(1) and (2) of Decision 2011/695, the hearing officer is competent to take a decision on all objections to publication, including those based on general principles of law.
52. I would observe that, if the appellant’s assertion must be taken to mean that the hearing officer’s powers cover objections other than those connected with the confidentiality of information, it is not corroborated by either the wording or the structure of Article 8 of Decision 2011/695.
53. As regards the wording of those provisions, the application of Article 8(1) and (2) of Decision 2011/695 is clearly confined to the situation in which the information to be disclosed ‘may constitute a business secret or other confidential information of any undertaking or person’.
54. As regards the structure of those provisions, I note that they form part of the wider role of the hearing officer of ensuring observance of the procedural rights of the parties and other interested parties in competition proceedings. On account of his independence, the hearing officer is well placed to settle a disagreement between the person concerned and the Commission’s services as to the confidential nature of information, where appropriate by weighing up the opposing interests.
55. To my mind, those considerations apply only where the hearing officer is dealing with requests for confidential treatment.
56. While it is possible to envisage other objections to the publication of a decision, based, for example, on infringement of intellectual property rights or image rights, they would not be connected with the conduct of the competition proceedings and examination of such objections would therefore not be consistent with the role of the hearing officer.
57. The same applies, in this case, to the objections raised by the appellant on the basis of general principles of law, independently of its request for confidentiality.
58. As is clear from paragraph 26 of the judgment under appeal, by the first plea in the application at first instance, the appellant took issue with the hearing officer for having declined to answer three separate arguments alleging, in the first place, breach of the ‘purpose’ principle set out in Article 28(1) of Regulation No 1/2003 (that argument is not taken up again in the appeal); in the second place, breach of the appellant’s legitimate expectation that the information at issue would not be published; and, in the third place, breach of the principle of equal treatment resulting from the fact that that publication would have the effect of putting the appellant in a less favourable situation than other addressees of the PHP Decision.
59. It is apparent from the argument submitted by the appellant in the context of its appeal, moreover, that those objections were raised independently of the request for confidential treatment of the information originating from the leniency statements.
60. In so far as the objections in question were formulated independently of the request for confidential treatment, the General Court — was entitled, in my view — to hold, in paragraph 44 of the judgment under appeal, that the hearing officer was not competent to answer them.
61. It should be made clear that the argument raised by the appellant before the hearing officer on the basis of the principles of legitimate expectation and equal treatment may be understood in two different ways.
62. It might be understood as seeking to establish that the information contained in a leniency declaration must be classified as confidential, in the light of the legitimate expectation of the leniency applicant that he will not be placed, in civil actions, in a less favourable situation than other participants in the infringement who chose not to cooperate. The principles of legitimate expectations and equal treatment would thus be relied on, only indirectly, in support of the argument that the information at issue is confidential. It is common ground that the hearing officer examined and rejected that argument in the decision at issue.
63. On the other hand, that argument of the appellant might be understood as seeking to establish that that has been a breach of the principles of legitimate expectation and equal treatment irrespective of whether the information at issue must be classified as confidential. Such a separate argument may be derived from the failure to comply with the requirements relating to the withdrawal of administrative acts or the alteration of the Commission’s previous practice. (23) To my mind, however, those arguments, in so far as they do not rely on the confidential nature of information, do not fall within the competence of the hearing officer.
64. Nor am I convinced by the appellant’s argument that to accept the limitation of the competence of the hearing officer would breach the appellant’s right to judicial protection.
65. I recall that the procedure involving the hearing officer has the effect of suspending the disclosure of information and thus enables the person concerned to bring an action for annulment and an application for interim measures before the General Court, in accordance with the judgment in AKZO Chemie and AKZO Chemie UK v Commission (24).
66. The requirement for such judicial review before disclosure is justified, however, by the fact that disclosure of the confidential information may cause the person concerned to sustain serious and irreparable harm: but such justification applies only in so far as the person concerned relies on the confidential nature of the information and cannot be extended to other objections to publication.
67. Accordingly, I consider that the General Court was correct to hold, in paragraph 44 of the judgment under appeal, that the hearing officer’s powers under Article 8(2) of Decision 2011/695 do not extend to the objections raised by the appellant on the basis of the principles of legitimate expectation and equal treatment.
68. I note, last, that one of the grounds on which the General Court reached that conclusion is ambiguous.
69. The General Court held, in paragraphs 42 and 43 of the judgment under appeal, that the principles of legitimate expectations and equal treatment, on which the appellant relied, were not within the competence of the hearing officer, because, unlike the rules on the treatment of personal data or those governing the right of access to documents, those principles were not ‘rules intended to afford specific protection against disclosure’ and were not ‘specifically intended to protect the confidentiality of information or documents’.
70. The General Court did not make clear what it meant by the reference to rules intended to afford specific protection against disclosure. (25) If that ground of the judgment under appeal had to be taken to mean that the principle of legitimate expectations cannot in any event constitute the basis for the classification of information as confidential, such a ground would to my mind be incorrect in law.
71. Admittedly, as the Commission observes, the request for confidential treatment must be duly substantiated by the person concerned, but, as is clear from the case-law of this Court, (26) such a request may be based on the argument that the information in question was communicated in the legitimate expectation that the Commission would respect its confidential nature. In my view, the requirements related to respect for an individual’s legitimate expectations may in principle justify confidential treatment, independently of the existence of specific rules.
72. However, even if paragraphs 42 and 43 of the judgment under appeal had to be understood in that sense, such an error would not be such as to entail the setting-aside of the judgment under appeal, since its operative part appears to be based on other legal grounds. (27) In fact, on those grounds, the General Court merely found that the hearing officer had been correct to decline competence to answer the ‘separate’ arguments based on the principles of legitimate expectations and equal treatment (paragraphs 26 and 44 of the judgment under appeal).
73. That finding, as such, is well founded in law. In so far as the appellant relied on such arguments independently of its request for confidentiality, their assessment did not fall within the competence of the hearing officer. Consequently, I consider that the finding of the General Court in paragraph 44 of the judgment under appeal must in any event be upheld.
74. Accordingly, I propose that the first part of the first plea should be rejected.
75. By the second part of the first plea, the appellant takes issue with the General Court for having rejected its complaint alleging breach of the obligation to state reasons.
76. The appellant maintains that the General Court was wrong to consider that the positions adopted by the Commission’s services, contained in its letters of 28 November 2011 and 15 March 2012, are part of the statement of reasons on which the decision at issue is based (paragraphs 60 and 132 of the judgment under appeal).
77. I would observe that the finding of the General Court, set out in paragraphs 60 and 132 of the judgment under appeal, that the statement of reasons on which the decision at issue is based must be seen in the context of the previous correspondence with the appellant, cannot as such be criticised.
81. Where two authorities within the Commission adopt the same position to the disclosure of a document and to the extent of confidentiality, all the reasons stated go to make up the relevant context for the purposes of the review of the lawfulness of the final decision.
82. Accordingly, in the present case, the General Court was entitled, when examining the reasons on which the decision at issue is based, to take into account the position expressed by the services of the Directorate-General ‘Competition’ in the previous correspondence with the appellant.
83. In that regard, I note that, as is apparent from paragraph 65 of the judgment under appeal, the decision at issue sets out the reasons why the appellant’s request for confidentiality was rejected. In fact, in setting out the limits of his competence, the hearing officer answered the appellant’s objections, in so far as they were based on the confidentiality of the information in its leniency statement, by stating that such information must not be classified as confidential or as being covered by professional secrecy solely because it was submitted in the context of cooperation with the Commission (recitals 12, 14 and 18 to 21 of the decision at issue).
84. In rejecting in its entirety the appellant’s request for confidential treatment, the hearing officer confirmed the position defined in the Commission’s letters of 28 November 2011 and 15 March 2012, described in paragraphs 47 and 48 of the judgment under appeal. That position is therefore relevant for the purpose of assessing the grounds of the decision at issue.
85. In addition, as regards the position known by the appellant before the matter was referred to the hearing officer, the appellant cannot legitimately maintain that the fact that that position was taken into account by the General Court breached its right to be heard, on the ground that it was unable to challenge the arguments put forward in those letters.
86. In the light of all of those observations, I propose that the second part and, consequently, the first plea in its entirety should be rejected.
87. By the present plea, which concerns paragraphs 76 to 127 of the judgment under appeal, the appellant maintains, in essence, that by rejecting its argument that the information contained in its leniency statement should be classified as confidential, the General Court infringed Article 339 TFEU and Article 30 of Regulation No 1/2003, and breached its right to protection of its private life.
88. In paragraphs 76 to 127 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court examined and rejected the third plea in the application at first instance, which consisted in essence of three parts, alleging, first, breach of the appellant’s business secrets; second, breach of the confidentiality of information communicated in the context of the leniency programme; and, third, breach of the right to protection of private life (paragraph 76 of the judgment under appeal).
89. As regards the first part, the General Court held that, even on the assumption that some of the commercial information might have constituted business secrets, it must in any event be considered to be old, since it dated from five or more years previously and since the appellant had not shown that, in spite of its age, that information still constituted essential elements of its commercial position (paragraphs 84 to 86 of the judgment under appeal).
90. As regards the second part, the General Court considered whether, as the appellant maintained, information must be protected, as business secrets, solely because it had been communicated voluntarily by an undertaking to the Commission with the aim of benefiting from the leniency programme (paragraph 88 of the judgment under appeal).
91. The General Court rejected the argument that the scope of protection against disclosure under Article 4 of Regulation No 1049/2001 was relevant in the present case. If Article 4 of that regulation were to be taken into account as prohibiting the Commission from publishing any information protected by an exception to the right of access to documents, that would have the effect of depriving the Commission of the possibility of publishing even the essential part of its decision, since, in accordance with a presumption laid down by the Court of Justice in the judgment in Commission v EnBW, (32) such an exception protects all the material in the investigation file (paragraphs 91 and 92 of the judgment under appeal).
92. The disclosure of information relating to an infringement of competition law by publication of a Commission decision penalising that infringement cannot in principle be confused with access by third parties to documents in the Commission’s investigation file. The publication of such information would not result in the communication of leniency statements to third parties (paragraph 93 of the judgment under appeal).
94. As regards the first two conditions, the General Court considered that they were satisfied, as the information in question was known only to a limited number of persons and its disclosure was likely to cause serious harm to the appellant. The General Court found that the information at issue consisted essentially in the description of component elements of the infringement. A number of passages in the PHP Decision, publication of which was envisaged, shed significantly more detailed light on the appellant’s unlawful conduct and could therefore enable injured third parties to establish more easily the conditions and the extent of its civil liability (paragraphs 96 to 105 of the judgment under appeal).
95. As concerns the third condition, on the other hand, the General Court held that the appellant’s interests that were likely to be harmed by disclosure did not objectively merit protection and that the information at issue therefore did not fall under professional secrecy. The General Court recalled that the condition in question required that the public interest of transparency be weighed against the legitimate interests opposing disclosure. In order to object to the publication of the information relating to the infringement, the appellant could not lawfully rely on the interest in the protection of its reputation, or on its interest in protecting itself against an order for damages, or on the public interest in the effectiveness of the leniency programmes (paragraphs 106 to 122 of the judgment under appeal).
96. As regards, last, the third part, the General Court held that although information received in the context of an investigation concerning an infringement of EU law relating to cartels must in principle be regarded as relating to the private activity of a person, that person cannot rely on his right to the protection of that information in order to complain of a loss of reputation which is the foreseeable consequence of his own actions (paragraphs 124 to 126 of the judgment under appeal).
97. In answer to the appellant’s arguments relating to a breach of legitimate expectations, raised in support of the third plea in the application at first instance, the General Court considered that those arguments were essentially the same as the arguments developed in respect of the fourth plea and must be examined in the context of that plea (paragraph 77 of the judgment under appeal). The General Court examined those arguments in paragraphs 134 to 158 of the judgment under appeal.
98. The present plea consists of four parts.
99. By the first part, the appellant maintains that the General Court was wrong to find that the information at issue had ceased to be confidential solely because it was more than five years old (paragraphs 84 to 86 of the judgment under appeal).
100. By the second part, the appellant claims that General Court ought to have found that the information originating in the leniency statements should have been classified as confidential.
101. In the appellant’s submission, the General Court was wrong to refuse to apply in this case the same criteria as those applicable to access to documents, referred to in Article 4 of Regulation No 1049/2001 (paragraphs 92 and 93 of the judgment under appeal). It maintains that the distinction which the General Court draws between access to documents and publication of the information in those documents is artificial.
103. In the appellant’s submission, the grounds set out in paragraphs 93, 117, 138, 140 to 150, 155 and 161 of the judgment under appeal are therefore incorrect, in that they are based on the finding that the disclosure of the content of leniency statements, in the public version of the PHP Decision, cannot be treated in the same way as the partial disclosure of the leniency statements themselves. The appellant maintains that the General Court was wrong to find that the Commission was free to publish any type of information taken from the leniency statements, even where it included direct or indirect quotations from those statements.
104. In the alternative, by the third part, the appellant maintains that the information at issue is in any event confidential according to the criteria laid down in the judgment in Bank Austria Creditanstalt v Commission. (35) Contrary to the General Court’s findings in paragraphs 107 to 111 of the judgment under appeal, the appellant’s interests are objectively deserving of protection within the meaning of that case-law.
105. By the fourth part, the appellant takes issue with paragraphs 121 to 126 of the judgment under appeal, relating to the alleged breach of its right to protection of its private life. It maintains that the disclosure of the content of its leniency statements cannot, contrary to the General Court’s assertion, be considered to be a foreseeable consequence of its participation in the cartel.
106. The Commission disputes those arguments, referring, in essence, to the relevant grounds of the judgment under appeal.
107. The appellant’s main argument in the context of the present plea relates to the allegedly confidential nature of the information taken from the leniency statements and its protection against disclosure in the context of the publication of Commission decisions.
108. I note that corporate statements made with a view to obtaining leniency are different from any other document received by the Commission in the course of the investigation, since they contain a detailed description of the facts of the infringement provided voluntarily by a direct participant. (36) A leniency statement, unlike the other material in the Commission’s file, is thus an evaluative document, communicated spontaneously, and specifically intended to be drawn up in the context of the leniency programme and whereby its author admits the infringement, thus waiving his right not to incriminate himself.
109. The nature of that document justifies reservations as to its disclosure.
111. The Commission’s practice as revealed in those documents is based on a distinction between leniency statements and pre-existing documents submitted by the leniency applicant. Leniency statements enjoy, in principle, complete immunity from disclosure to the public and communication to the national courts.
114. In the judgment in Commission v EnBW, (45) the Court held that there is a general presumption that the disclosure of the documents in a file relating to a proceeding under Article 101 TFEU will, in principle, undermine the protection of the commercial interests of the undertakings involved in such a proceeding and the protection of the purpose of the investigations relating to the proceeding within the meaning of the first and third indents of Article 4(2) of Regulation No 1949/2001.
115. It is necessary to determine whether the protection afforded to leniency statements must be reflected in certain limits being placed on the use of the information taken from those statements in the grounds of Commission decisions finding the infringement.
116. I note, in that regard, that protection against disclosure is intended for sensitive information, irrespective of the medium whereby it is presented. It follows that if leniency statements are protected, that protection also extends, in principle, to the transcription of that information in other documents.
117. That reasoning seems to be accepted by the Commission. When it intervened as amicus curiae before a United Kingdom court in November 2011, (46) the Commission maintained that the reservations attaching to the disclosure of leniency statements also apply where the confidential version of its decision is disclosed in a civil action, since that decision contains quotations from the leniency statements.
118. The fact that the information contained in leniency statements must also be protected when it is transcribed in another document, implies that the Commission must exercise some restraint as regards the use of such information in the public version of its decisions.
119. I nonetheless note that the protection of leniency statements is justified by the public interest in ensuring that the leniency programmes, an essential instrument in the detection of cartels, are attractive. (47) However, the appellant cannot rely on such a public interest as against the Commission.
121. In my view, the existence of such an interest may be inferred from the way in which the leniency programmes function.
122. When the public authority establishes the leniency programme, it creates a legal framework which encourages an undertaking to report spontaneously its participation in the infringement and thus to waive its right not to incriminate itself. It follows that there is a relationship based on trust between the appellant and the Commission, comparable to that between the Commission and the informant or complainant in competition proceedings. (49) An undertaking which decides to waive its right not to incriminate itself must be able to take that decision in full knowledge of the facts. It can thus expect that the Commission will take its interests into account when making use of the information communicated in that specific context.
123. However, even accepting that it may be inferred that the undertaking concerned has a legitimate expectation that it will receive confidential treatment, that expectation applies only to the disclosure of the information obtained within the framework of cooperation in a context which enables the source of the information to be traced, and does not apply to the protection of that information as such.
125. Therefore, to my mind, even though the Commission must exercise a certain restraint as regards the use of that information when it publishes its decisions, the restrictions on disclosure resulting from the legitimate interest of the leniency applicant apply only to the information that enables the connection with the leniency statement to be identified. Only the disclosure of that information would enable the reader to reconstruct the precise content of the passages from the leniency statements, which would be equivalent to its partial disclosure.
126. On the other hand, to my mind, the Commission must have a discretion as regards the use in the public versions of its decisions of other material taken from the leniency statements.
127. The Commission must have a wide discretion when describing the functioning of the cartel in its decision, including in the published version. In many investigations the leniency statements constitute, at least for certain episodes in the infringement and on condition that they are corroborated by other independent material, the main source of evidence. If all the information originating in those statements had to be deleted, the decision might prove to be of no use as a source of information about an infringement. It is necessary to take account of the fact that, since the Commission’s file is protected by the general presumption established in the judgment in Commission v EnBW, (51) the non-confidential version of the Commission’s decision is the most important source of information for third parties who consider that they have been harmed by the cartel. (52) The possibility for those third parties to bring civil actions might thus be unduly restricted.
128. Furthermore, in deciding to report the cartel, a leniency applicant must be aware that the information communicated in the context of its cooperation will be an important source of information and will be extensively used by the Commission in order to establish and describe the facts, including in the non-confidential version of the decision. Thus, the leniency applicant must accept that, apart from direct quotations from his statements and other information that would allow him to be identified as a source, the information communicated to the Commission will be reported in its decision, including in the public version.
129. I would point out that, in deciding to cooperate with the Commission, an applicant can reasonably foresee that the confidential nature of his cooperation cannot be protected without reservation. The identity of the leniency applicant will be known to the public as soon as the Commission’s decision is adopted. In addition, although the Commission might be expected to take reasonable measures to conceal the source of the evidence obtained in the context of cooperation, it is inevitable that a reader of the decision, aware of the identity of the leniency applicant or applicants, might be led to speculate that one or another item of information is the consequence of their cooperation.
130. By the first part of the plea, the appellant disputes the application of the ‘five years’ presumption, based on the age of the commercial information, in paragraphs 84 to 86 of the judgment under appeal.
131. According to the Commission’s practice (53) and the case-law of the General Court developed in the context of applications for confidentiality, (54) as a general rule, information which is five or more years old must be deemed not to be confidential, unless, exceptionally, the undertaking concerned shows that the information is still an essential element of its commercial situation.
132. That practice is based on the general consideration that commercial information ceases to be sensitive with the passage of time. To my mind, that consideration justifies the application of a presumption linked to a fixed period based on experience, which the undertaking concerned is able to rebut by adducing evidence to the contrary.
134. I must make clear that all of those considerations relate to commercially sensitive information and do not apply to information in respect of which confidentiality is claimed on a different ground.
135. In the present case, the appellant takes issue with paragraphs 84 to 86 of the judgment under appeal and maintains that the information taken from a leniency statement does not cease to be confidential solely by reason of the passage of time. In its submission, the protection of such information cannot be limited to a strictly-defined period.
136. To my mind, that criticism is the consequence of a misreading of the judgment under appeal.
137. In paragraphs 84 to 86 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court rejected the appellant’s argument that the proposed publication contained confidential commercial information relating to its business relations and its pricing policy (first part of the first plea in the application at first instance).
138. The rejection of that argument is without prejudice to the examination by the General Court of the appellant’s separate argument that the information at issue must be protected against disclosure on the ground that it comes from a leniency statement (second part of the third plea, paragraphs 88 to 122 of the judgment under appeal).
139. Thus, in maintaining that the ‘five years’ presumption cannot apply to information contained in the leniency statement, the appellant disregards the fact that the application of that presumption, in paragraphs 84 to 86 of the judgment under appeal, relates only to the argument which it bases on commercially sensitive information.
140. I therefore consider that the first part of the plea is unfounded.
141. The appellant maintains that the information at issue, contained in its leniency statement, enjoys the protection afforded to business secrets, so that, having regard to Article 339 TFEU and Article 30 of Regulation No 1/2003, read in the light of Article 4(2) of Regulation No 1049/2001, the Commission cannot include that information in the public version of its decision, unless there is an overriding public interest, which, in the appellant’s submission, has not been demonstrated in the present case.
142. That argument rests on the premiss that the use of information taken from a leniency statement in the public version of the Commission’s decision is tantamount to partial disclosure of the statement itself.
143. However, having regard to my observations above, (56) that premiss is incorrect.
144. Although the Commission must take the confidential nature of the leniency statement into account when it uses the information in that statement in the public version of its decision, the limitations in that respect relate to the information that enable its origin to be inferred, that is to say, mainly to direct quotations from the statements and to references to the source.
145. Thus, even if it is accepted that the appellant has a particular interest in the confidentiality of its leniency statements, which the Commission disputes in the present case, that interest could be relied on solely in order to oppose the publication of the passages of the decision that contain direct quotations from the statement or references to the source.
146. However, the disclosure of such information does not form the subject-matter of the present case.
147. In fact, the Commission states that it deleted, in the extended non-confidential version publication of which is envisaged, all the information from which it might be inferred that it came from statements or documents submitted to the Commission in the context of cooperation under the leniency programme, by redacting in the main text and in the footnotes any link between the information and the fact that it came from the leniency applicant.
148. Thus, as is apparent from paragraph 139 of the judgment under appeal, all information that might permit, directly or indirectly, identification of the source of the information taken from the appellant’s leniency statement was redacted.
149. In so far as the appellant maintains, in the context of the appeal, that the non-redacted passages still include verbatim quotations from its leniency statement, it is appropriate to examine that argument in the light of what the appellant means by ‘verbatim quotation’.
150. In effect, the appellant maintains that that concept covers not only ‘word-for-word quotations and those marked as such’, but also ‘passages which reproduce verbatim, but either (i) without being marked as quotations or (ii) in indirect speech, the wording of corporate statements’, and maintains, in that regard, that it is not sufficient for the Commission to redact the name of the undertaking quoted or the actual reference to the document in the Commission’s file. The appellant claims that, since it is regarded, in recital 85 of the PHP Decision, as the main source of the Commission’s information, third parties will take it a priori as the source of at least a large number of the quotations in the decision.
151. However, as I have already stated, (57) although the Commission may be expected to take reasonable measures to conceal the source of the evidence obtained in the context of cooperation, it is inevitable that a reader of the decision who is aware of the identity of the leniency applicant or applicants may be led to speculate that one or another item of information is the consequence of their cooperation. That consideration is not sufficient to uphold a legitimate reservation as to the publication of the passages concerned. Therefore, apart from the direct quotations from the statements and other information from which the source might be identified, which are not concerned by the argument on which the appellant relies, the appellant cannot validly object to the publication, in the Commission’s decision, of the information relating to the infringement contained in its leniency statement.
152. Nor am I convinced by the appellant’s argument that the General Court failed to apply the criteria on access to documents referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation No 1049/2001.
154. However, that presumption, which was established in favour of the Commission and which allows it to decline to examine each individual document in its file, cannot in my view be raised as against the Commission itself. Where it describes the unlawful acts in the public version of its decision, the Commission cannot proceed from the presumption that its entire file is confidential. As the General Court stated in paragraph 92 of the judgment under appeal, such a presumption would not only render Article 30 of Regulation No 1/2003 ineffective, but would also have the effect, in practice, of reversing the burden of proof, which, where confidential treatment is concerned, is borne by the person requesting such treatment.
156. Last, to my mind the appellant is wrong to maintain that the solution adopted by the General Court means that the Commission is free to publish any information taken from a leniency statement.
157. I note that it follows from the decision at issue that the Commission agreed to certain requests submitted by the appellant, in particular those relating to the redaction of the references to the source of the information. Those requests therefore no longer formed the subject-matter of the dispute before the General Court.
158. In that regard, in paragraphs 136 to 139 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court drew a distinction between the publication of the information taken from the leniency statements and the disclosure of the statements themselves, referring to the fact that the Commission suppressed all information that might permit, directly or indirectly, identification of the source of the information communicated to it in the context of the leniency programme. (60) It is apparent from paragraph 141 of the judgment under appeal, moreover, that the protection afforded to the confidential version of a Commission decision is justified, in particular, by the fact that it contains indications of the source of the information communicated in the context of the leniency programme and that such a confidential version is therefore liable to reflect the self-incriminating statements made by those undertakings. It may be inferred that the same restriction applies to the non-confidential version of a Commission decision, from which such indications relating to the source of the information should be removed.
159. Therefore, contrary to the appellant’s contention, it does not follow from the grounds of the judgment under appeal that the Commission’s discretion in relation to the publication of information obtained in the context of cooperation is unlimited.
160. In the light of the foregoing, I consider that the General Court was correct to reject the appellant’s argument based on the confidentiality of the information communicated under the leniency programme.
161. By way of alternative to the preceding parts of the plea, the appellant maintains that, contrary to the findings of the General Court in paragraphs 106 to 111 of the judgment under appeal, the third condition relating to the classification of professional secrecy referred to in the case-law stemming from the judgment in Bank Austria Creditanstalt v Commission, (61) namely the existence of interests that are objectively worthy of protection, is satisfied in the present case.
162. The appellant takes issue with the rejection of its argument that the proposed interference would constitute an unwarranted interference in pending or future civil actions. In that regard, it asserts that the General Court distorted its argument by stating that the appellant sought in essence to protect itself against any order for damages made by a national court, which is not an interest worthy of protection (paragraphs 109 and 110 of the judgment under appeal). In the appellant’s submission, its interest is not in avoiding payment of damages but in avoiding being treated in a discriminatory fashion in the context of such actions for damages, since the disclosure of information taken from its statement would place it at a disadvantage by comparison with other participants in the cartel.
163. I note that, as is apparent, in particular, from paragraphs 103 and 104 of the judgment under appeal, the more complete publication envisaged by the Commission related in particular to the grounds of the PHP Decision relating to the functioning of the cartel and would therefore have been likely to enable injured third parties to establish more easily the civil liability of both the appellant and other undertakings that had participated in the infringement. The information in question is therefore information that facilitates the establishment of the liability of all the participants in the cartel.
164. In that regard, on the assumption that the appellant may lawfully rely on its interest in preventing a link being established between the information provided and the appellant itself as a source of information, that interest is ensured by the redaction of the direct quotations and other information that would permit identification of the source.
165. If, on the other hand, the appellant intends to rely on its interest in concealing the importance of the role which it played in organising the infringement, which is apparent from the information in question, so that that aspect would not be raised in actions for damages or actions for indemnity, the interest in question is therefore, as the Commission submits with reference to paragraphs 107 and 110 of the judgment under appeal and the case-law of the Court of Justice cited in those paragraphs, not an interest worthy of protection, in the light of the right to seek reparation of the harm caused by anti-competitive conduct.
166. I therefore consider that the third part of the plea is unfounded.
167. By the fourth part of the plea, the appellant takes issue with paragraphs 124 to 126 of the judgment under appeal and claims that there has been a breach of its right to protection of its private life, as enshrined in Article 7 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
168. As the General Court observed in paragraph 124 of the judgment under appeal, the information submitted to the Commission by undertakings relates to their private activity and as such is subject to compliance with respect for their private life.
169. The General Court then stated that although such compliance applies to the information received in the context of an investigation concerning an infringement of EU law relating to cartels, the person concerned cannot rely on that right in order to complain of a loss of reputation which is the foreseeable consequence of his own unlawful actions (paragraph 125 of the judgment under appeal). Respect for private life cannot therefore prevent the disclosure of information which concerns an undertaking’s participation in an infringement of competition law established by the Commission (paragraph 126 of the judgment under appeal).
170. The appellant contends that that consideration does not apply in the present case, since the disclosure of the information at issue is not the foreseeable consequence of its participation in the infringement.
172. However, apart from the alleged impairment of its right to its reputation, which was examined and rejected by the General Court, the appellant does not indicate how the disclosure of the information at issue would have consequences for its right to respect for its private life.
173. I therefore consider that the fourth part and, accordingly, the second plea in its entirety must be rejected.
174. By its third plea, the appellant relies on an alleged error of law by the General Court in its assessment of the principles of legal certainty and protection of legitimate expectations.
175. The appellant disputes, in essence, the rejection of its argument that the new publication of the PHP Decision would constitute a breach of its legitimate expectations, in particular, in that it would be tantamount to the withdrawal of a favourable decision adopted when the decision was first published in 2007 and, moreover, to the modification of the Commission’s previous practice.
176. In paragraphs 159 to 163 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court examined and rejected as unfounded the appellant’s argument, put forward in the context of the fourth plea, that the publication of a first non-confidential version of the PHP Decision in 2007 is the source of its legitimate expectations.
177. The General Court held that the Commission was free to publish, of its own volition, a version of the PHP Decision that was fuller than the minimum necessary and also to include information the publication of which is not required, in so far as the disclosure of that information was not inconsistent with the protection of professional secrecy. In that context, the mere fact that the Commission published a first non-confidential version of the PHP Decision in 2007 and did not describe that version as provisional could not be regarded as having given the appellant any precise assurance that a new, more complete, non-confidential version of that decision would not be published subsequently. Such a subsequent publication could, in particular, take into account the fact that, with the passage of time, the commercially sensitive information had become dated.
178. The appellant takes issue with the rejection, in paragraphs 136 to 165 of the judgment under appeal, of its argument that there had been a breach of the principles of legitimate expectations and legal certainty.
179. In the first place, in the appellant’s submission, the General Court disregarded the case-law of the Court of Justice, according to which lawful administrative acts, in favour of an individual, cannot in principle be withdrawn or cancelled. (63) The appellant maintains in that regard that, by publishing the first non-confidential version of the PHP Decision in 2007, the Commission agreed to the deletions desired by the appellant and put an end to the publication procedure, adopting a decision favourable to the appellant, the cancellation of which, envisaged by the decision at issue, is contrary to the conditions laid down in the case-law.
180. In the second place, the appellant maintains that the General Court was wrong to reject its argument based on the modification of the Commission’s previous practice. In the appellant’s submission, even if it were accepted that the Commission is free to alter the practice established in the 2006 Leniency Notice and to reduce the level of protection afforded to leniency statements — for future cases — it could not, on the contrary, intervene, to the appellant’s detriment, in a factual situation in respect of which it had already made a determination by publishing the decision in 2007.
181. The Commission disputes those arguments, referring, essentially, to the relevant grounds of the judgment under appeal.
182. The argument developed by the appellant within the present plea consists, in essence, of two parts, alleging, first, a breach of the conditions on which an administrative measure may be withdrawn and, second, a breach of legitimate expectations as a result of the Commission’s alleged modification of its practice.
185. In the present case, the appellant maintains that, by publishing the first non-confidential version of the PHP Decision in 2007, the Commission agreed to the deletions desired by the appellant and that such a decision cannot be withdrawn.
186. In order to answer that argument, it is necessary to determine whether, in the context of the 2007 publication, the Commission made a determination as to the confidential nature of the information not included in the version of the PHP Decision published at that time.
187. I note that, as is apparent from paragraph 163 of the judgment under appeal, the Commission did not take a specific decision that might be analysed as a commitment vis-à-vis the appellant not to publish in future certain information deleted in 2007.
188. The appellant’s argument thus raises the question whether the Commission implicitly made a ruling as to the confidential nature of the information not published in 2007, merely by not including that information in the non-confidential version published at that time.
189. To my mind, the existence of such an implicit decision cannot be inferred from the circumstances in which the decision was published in 2007. As stated in paragraph 161 of the judgment under appeal, the Commission has a wide discretion to define the scope of the information published pursuant to Article 30(2) of Regulation No 1/2003. It cannot be inferred from that provision that the Commission must adopt a definitive position in that regard at the time of the first publication.
190. There are, on the other hand, several reasons that could justify the subsequent, more complete, publication of a decision.
191. In order to enable the public to become aware of the grounds of its decision, the Commission must take account of the principle of transparency and must draw up, without delay, a non-confidential version, even if it is a provisional version, of its decision containing material not covered by the requests for confidentiality that cannot be resolved immediately. (67) The requirement for transparency, in the light of the strict time limits laid down in Regulation 1049/2001, may thus justify a number of successive publications of the same decision.
192. Furthermore, as the General Court observed in paragraph 162 of the judgment under appeal, a subsequent publication may be justified by the fact that certain confidential information may cease to be sensitive with the passage of time.
193. In those circumstances, as the General Court correctly stated in paragraphs 106 and 161 of the judgment under appeal, the mere fact that the non-confidential version of the PHP Decision published in 2007 was not described as ‘provisional’ is not sufficient to establish that the Commission adopted a definitive position of the scope of the publication, and committed itself, implicitly, not to publish a new, more detailed, non-confidential version of that decision in future.
194. I therefore propose that the first part of this plea should be rejected.
195. It is apparent from the appellant’s arguments that, independently of whether or not the information at issue is confidential, it relies on a breach of the principle of legitimate expectations which, it claims, is the consequence of the alteration of the Commission’s practice.
197. I note that the Commission’s commitments in the 2002 Leniency Notice and the 2006 Leniency Notice relate solely to the disclosure of the leniency statements and other documents submitted in the context of the leniency programme (paragraphs 137 and 138 of the judgment under appeal).
198. Thus, to my mind, even if it is accepted that those notices give rise to the legitimate expectations that the confidentiality of the leniency statements will be respected, there can be no legitimate expectation that the information about the infringement contained in those statements will not be included in the public version of the Commission’s decision.
199. I therefore consider that the appellant’s argument alleging that there was a breach of the principle of legitimate expectations as a consequence of the modification of the Commission’s practice cannot succeed.
200. I note that it is clearly desirable that the functioning of the leniency programme should be accompanied by conditions that are clear and foreseeable for leniency applicants. (69) I also note that, at the material time, the Commission had not established precise guidelines relating to the preparation of the public versions of its decisions, relying in that regard on the question of the use of information received in the context of the leniency programme. However, that circumstance alone is not capable of leading to the finding that the Commission breached precise assurances given to the appellant.
201. Consequently, I propose that the third plea should be rejected and, consequently, that the appeal in its entirety should be dismissed.
202. Following my assessment, I should like to make a number of general observations about the system of the production of evidence established by Directive 2014/104. That directive admittedly postdates the facts of the dispute but to my mind it should nonetheless be taken into account by the Commission in the event that it should proceed with the proposed publication following the present appeal.
204. To my mind, the fact that the leniency statements are afforded full protection does not mean that the same level of protection must be afforded to the factual information concerning the infringement contained in those statements when the Commission’s decisions are published. Public access to the information relating to the unlawful facts is a fundamental element of actions for damages, since it allows injured third parties to ascertain the course taken by the cartel and facilitates the establishment of the facts relating to the existence and the extent of liability, with respect to all the participants.
205. If the absolute protection afforded to leniency statements by Directive 2014/104 were to be extended to information relating to the unlawful facts contained in those statements, the delicate balance established by that directive could be upset. Such a wide protection of the leniency documents cannot be inferred from Directive 2014/104, in the absence of any express provision to that effect. On the other hand, that directive specifically envisages, in recital 26, that the limitations on the disclosure of evidence should not prevent the competition authorities from publishing their decisions in accordance with the applicable EU or national law.
207. Even if it is accepted that a leniency applicant might legitimately rely on his leniency statement being afforded confidential treatment, in view of the fact that his participation in the leniency programme means that he has waived his right not to incriminate himself, that expectation applies only to the protection of the statement as such, of the verbatim quotations and other information that would permit that statement to be directly identified as the source. On the other hand, that expectation does not cover the disclosure of the factual information relating to the infringement.
209. In the light of all of the foregoing, I propose that the Court should dismiss the appeal and order Evonik Degussa GmbH to pay the costs, including the costs of the interlocutory proceedings.
2 T‑341/12, EU:T:2015:51, ‘the judgment under appeal’.
3 Commission Decision of 24 May 2012 rejecting a request for confidential treatment made by Evonik Degussa, in application of Article 8 of Decision 2011/695/EU of the President of the Commission of 13 October 2011 on the function and terms of reference of the hearing officer in certain competition proceedings (Case COMP/38.620 — Hydrogen Peroxide and Perborate; ‘the decision at issue’).
4 I note that the issue of disclosure and confidentiality in the context of actions for damages was recently discussed at the XXVIIth FIDE Congress (FIDE Congress Proceedings Vol. 2. Private Enforcement and Collective Redress in European Competition Law, Budapest 2016, see questions 44 to 55).
5 Apart from the judgment delivered in the present case, three judgments delivered by the General Court concerned the same matter and one of them is under appeal: judgments of 28 January 2015 in Akzo Nobel and Others v Commission (T‑345/12, EU:T:2015:50); of 15 July 2015 in AGC Glass Europe and Others v Commission (T‑465/12, EU:T:2015:505, under appeal in the pending Case C‑517/15 P); and of 15 July 2015 in Pilkington Group v Commission (T‑462/12, EU:T:2015:508).

15 The area of the unlawful appropriation of business secrets was recently harmonised by Directive (EU) 2016/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on the protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) against their unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure (OJ 2016 L 157, p. 1). That directive is not to affect the rules relating to the disclosure of information to the administrative authorities (Article 1(2)(b)).
16 The Court held that what is involved is a general principle which also applies to information supplied by natural persons, if that information is by nature confidential. See judgment of 7 November 1985 in Adams v Commission (145/83, EU:C:1985:448, paragraph 34) and the Opinion which Advocate General Lenz delivered in AKZO Chemie and AKZO Chemie UK v Commission (53/85, EU:C:1986:25).
17 In the case of information supplied on a purely voluntary basis, but accompanied by a request for confidentiality in order to protect the informant’s anonymity, an institution which accepts such information is bound to comply with such a condition (see judgments of 7 November 1985 in Adams v Commission (145/83, EU:C:1985:448, paragraph 34); of 18 September 1996 in Postbank v Commission (T‑353/94, EU:T:1996:119, paragraph 86); of 6 July 2000 in Volkswagen v Commission (T‑62/98, EU:T:2000:180, paragraph 279); and of 5 April 2006 in Degussa v Commission (T‑279/02, EU:T:2006:103, paragraph 409)).
18 See, as regards access to the file, judgments of 1 April 1993 in BPB Industries and British Gypsum v Commission (T‑65/89, EU:T:1993:31, paragraph 33), and also of 6 April 1995 in BPB Industries and British Gypsum v Commission (C‑310/93 P, EU:C:1995:101, paragraph 26). The Court held that third party undertakings which submit documents to the Commission and consider that reprisals might be taken against them as a result can do so only if they know that account will be taken of their request for confidentiality. See also judgments of 28 April 1999 in Endemol v Commission (T‑221/95, EU:T:1999:85, paragraph 66) and of 25 October 2002 in Tetra Laval v Commission (T‑5/02, EU:T:2002:264, paragraph 98).

21 I note that the Court has already had occasion to interpret the duty of professional secrecy in the context of prudential secrecy (see judgment of 12 November 2014 in Altmann and Others, C‑140/13, EU:C:2014:2362). A pending case concerns the conditions in which the information communicated to the financial markets supervisory authority is covered by the term ‘confidential information’ (pending case in Baumeister, C‑15/16).

The concept of ‘corporate statement’ made with a view to obtaining leniency, on the other hand, is explained in points 6 to 9 and 31 of the 2006 Leniency Notice, and also in Article 4a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 773/2004, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 2015/1348.

44 In his Opinion in Pfleiderer (C‑360/09, EU:C:2010:782, point 44), Advocate General Mazák proposed that the possibility of disclosing the statements submitted by leniency applicants, contributing voluntarily to the incrimination of their authors, should be limited.

47 In fact, the disclosure of those statements would be likely to have the effect that leniency applicants incurred civil liability in more disadvantageous circumstances than those of other participants in the infringement and the incentive to report the cartel might thus be compromised. See the Notice on cooperation between the Commission and the national courts (point 45), the 2006 Leniency Notice (point 6) and judgment of 14 June 2011 in Pfleiderer (C‑360/09, EU:C:2011:389, paragraphs 26 and 27).
48 In point 45 of his Opinion in Pfleiderer (C‑360/09, EU:C:2010:782), Advocate General Mazák observed that leniency applicants could entertain a legitimate expectation in accordance with the practice of the Bundeskartellamt (Federal Cartel Office, Germany).

69 In his Opinion in Pfleiderer (C‑360/09, EU:C:2010:782, point 32), Advocate General Mazák observed that transparency and foreseeability are necessary for the effective functioning of the leniency programme.
70 See Article 2(16) and (17) and Article 6(6)(a) of Directive 2014/104. The 2006 Leniency Notice and the Notice on cooperation between the Commission and the national courts were amended accordingly (OJ 2015 C 256, p. 1 and p. 5).
71 Although Directive 2014/104 states, in recital 26, that the exemption from disclosure is to apply to ‘verbatim quotations from leniency statements’, that ground must in my view be seen as protecting statements against partial disclosure, in a context in which the source of the quotation could be identified.
72 See Article 11(4) of Directive 2014/104.

Rep. Michael E. Capuano, who represents the 7th District of Massachusetts, is serving his 8th term in Congress. He is on the Ethics, Financial Services and Transportation Committees.
That South Sudan’s leaders can act so brazenly is down to one thing: They know there are no consequences.
I still have many questions the Congressional briefings simply did not answer.

Lucasfilm peeled back the curtain on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at Celebration, and we're recapping the biggest reveals from the panel.
Star Wars Celebration Chicago has a lot going on, so we're running down all of the trailers and reveals fans can expect to see.
The Rogue One prequel TV series for Disney+ is officially confirmed for a 2021 premiere, and Alan Tudyk is returning as fan-favorite. K-2SO.
The Hellboy reboot is projected to have a lower box office opening weekend than either of Guillermo del Toro's previous films about the character.
Shazam looks to be a hit, but how does it compare to the rest of the DCEU? We break down the numbers for the franchise's opening weekends.
Mark Hamill shares he will not be attending Star Wars Celebration Chicago this weekend, expressing disappointment over the turn of events.
Mark Hamill still believes Star Wars franchise fatigue is possible, citing Solo's poor box office performance as main evidence.
J.J. Abrams admits Rian Johnson took the sequel trilogy's narrative in 'another direction' while writing Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Star Wars: Episode 9 director J.J. Abrams reveals he almost turned down the opportunity to direct the film when it was offered to him.
Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige says they won't reveal future Phase 4 plans in the MCU until after Spider-Man: Far From Home premieres.
The final Skywalker Saga movie is ten months away but hype for the Star Wars 9 trailer is reaching fever pitch. Here's when we expect it to release.
Mark Hamill shares a fan-made image of a Star Wars LEGO set that depicts Luke Skywalker's severed hand and lightsaber falling through Cloud City.
Shazam won the box office this weekend and despite having the DCEU's lowest-opening, will still go down as a hit film for Warner Bros.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson says he doesn't care if Episode 9 retcons plot points from his film as long as he's entertained.
LeBron James is reportedly unable to close deals with top NBA players to star in Space Jam 2 as the film gears up to begin production.
Shazam is one of the most fun DC films in some time, and it sports an entertaining soundtrack to help set the scene for Billy Batson.

Jeff Coulter's three books to date (Coulter (1973b, 1979b, 1983)) are considered chronologically, in order (a) to explicate his reading of Wittgenstein and ethnomethodology, (b) to give a preliminary appreciation of the distinctive linguistic sociology of mind which this reading makes possible, and (c) to assess Coulter's work for its seminal importance vis-à-vis a possible political linguistics.

The Analytical and Biological Chemistry Research Facility was funded under PRTLI3 and therefore commenced as a research grouping in 2003. The ABCRF brought together for the first time the research teams in Chemistry and Biochemistry working in areas of research relevant to the pharmaceutical sector, albeit with the various research teams located in a number of different locations across the campus. Over 2003-2005, design and construction of the dedicated research labs and infrastructure was undertaken.
In 2006, the Cavanagh Pharmacy Building (CPB) was opened, and the ABCRF moved into this building together with the new School of Pharmacy, thereby creating a state-of-the-art centre for research in the pharmaceutical sciences at University College Cork. The ABCRF occupies 1200m2 in the CPB (ca. €5.2M capital investment), consisting of research laboratories for Biochemistry, Analytical and BioAnalytical Chemistry and Synthetic (Organic, Medicinal, Pharmaceutical, BioInorganic) Chemistry, and instrument rooms for large infrastructural equipment (LC-MS and NMR in basement, PXRD and single crystal X-ray diffraction in a dedicated Solid State Pharmaceuticals lab on the 2nd floor) and associated office and write-up space. A strategic decision was made at the outset of the building design to co-locate the ABCRF Biochemistry lab in the 1st floor with the Drug Delivery and Pharmaceutics research teams of the School of Pharmacy, and to co-locate the ABCRF Chemistry labs with the Pharmaceutical Chemistry research teams of the School of Pharmacy on the 2nd floor of the CPB, with shared central facilities such as cold rooms, utility areas, board room etc to encourage interaction and collaboration between the ABCRF and SOP researchers. As the ABCRF researchers are mainly based in the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science, while the School of Pharmacy is in the College of Medicine and Health, the CPB is one of the major buildings at the interface between the two Colleges.
Extensive collaboration exists between the various locations in terms of equipment and resources. The CPB also contains a number of facilities relating to interaction with the pharmaceutical industry – an industrial suite (120m2 ), an aseptic suite and a processing suite, critical to the mission of the ABCRF in interacting with the sector. Access to these key resources to underpin collaboration with industry is one of the outstanding features of the ABCRF; indeed when Pfizer commenced the Process Development Centre in Cork in 2003 they occupied labs in UCC for the first year until their own facilities were constructed. More recently GSK researchers have occupied the industry suite.

A year late but worth the wait. Last year's centenary of Terence Rattigan's birth brought two excellent revivals of lesser-known works, Flare Path and Cause Celebre, to London. But the playwright's personal story remains a subject of uncertainty and guesswork. Giles Cole's little gem of a play, The Art of Concealment, brings the dramatist's secret history to life.
Rattigan complained that to outsiders his success seemed quite effortless. In fact, his whole career was a fluke. After dropping out of Oxford without a degree, the young wannabe was given an ultimatum by his boorish, womanising father: succeed as a playwright or take a job in the Foreign Office. Rattigan failed. Every play he sent out came boomeranging back by return of post. In despair, and without telling her son, old Ma Rattigan parcelled up an early effort, Joie de Vivre, and posted it off to a producer, who liked everything about it except the title.
Rechristened French Without Tears, it ran for 1,000 performances in the West End. Rattigan was launched. But writing was a constant strain. He had to plunder his complex emotional life for material while carefully concealing his sexuality from the public.
In 1956 disaster overwhelmed him when John Osborne, armed with an ironing board, terminated his career almost overnight. His expertly crafted bourgeois tragedies suddenly seemed out of date. Under pressure from an ambitious director, he turned his breakthrough play into a song-'n'-dance show.
French Without Tears, The Musical closed after four days.
Rattigan retreated to his study and spent endless afternoons poring over press cuttings of former triumphs while swigging gallons of neat whisky.
Cole's script uses the blunt device of two narrators, the older and the younger Rattigan, but this deliberately naive gesture seems appropriate to a play that strips the dramatist's craft down to its bare components.

Seventy years ago, a small city in West Kootenay turned into a raging river. Downtown, water lapped at the windows of the theatre's box office and the sight of canoes paddling down the streets was not unusual.
Seventy years ago, a small city in West Kootenay turned into a raging river. Downtown, water lapped at the windows of the movie theatre's box office, and the sight of canoes paddling down the streets was not unusual.
Although the great flood of 1948 was more than a generation ago, it has not been forgotten in cities like Trail, which was ravaged by the high waters.
At its peak, water from the river was more than 14 metres high. Houses were inundated and garages swept away.
"It's still within recent memory," said Sarah Benson-Lord, manager of Trail Museum and Archives.
"It's still in the back of our minds whether you lived it or not, you've certainly heard the stories."
The museum is highlighting the history of the flood in recognition of its 70th anniversary with a new exhibit putting together archival photos and video about the devastating flood.
The exhibit opens next week.
"It was one of those events where everyone pulled out their camera," Benson-Lord told Josh Pagé, the guest host of CBC's Radio West.
She said the archives were "chock full" of dramatic photos of the floods. At one point, the water was rising 60 centimetres per day and, in downtown Trail, water gushed past, more than a metre above the sidewalk.
Thousands of people gathered to help fill sandbags and hand out meals. Some photos show small children standing atop huge walls of sandbags, actively involved in the volunteer efforts.
"What [the flood] did was really reinforce the type of community that Trail is and always was — and that's one of generosity and dedication to one another to see each other through a crisis," she said.
"I hope people really experience that when they see the exhibit."

First live album by HIDRIA SPACEFOLK, "Live Eleven a.m." features three tracks from "Symbiosis" and five from "Balansia", which is almost played in its entirety. Not particularly changing from the original studio version nor really extended either, their live versions are nonetheless a bit more punchy and aggressive. With "Balansia", the Finnishs' musical style was already becoming less folk and more rock-oriented. The performance itself is excellent, and the audience really shows its enthusiasm.
As a conclusion, "Live Eleven a.m." should please every space rock and OZRIC TENTACLES fans. If you don't know HIDRIA SPACEFOLK, this live album is also a good place to discover the band.

"What will the Architectural Appearance of Toronto be in the Year 2004 A.D.?"
". . . so great will be the demand that plans will be devised for using some of the spaces at the intersection of the business streets. The City Corporation will see the necessity to grant privileges . . . to build over and occupy these spaces, to assist in providing further accommodation. Great buildings will be erected, supported on archways springing over the roadway and sidewalks, so as not to interfere with the traffic, the adjacent corner blocks will be conformed to fit in and form in design a harmonious whole. These buildings, from their appearance and location, shall be called Great Tower Buildings, and they shall be built up to a height of many stories above the surrounding buildings, and of splendid design."
Maybe Toronto is ready for Lennox's visions of bridging buildings marking major intersections?

I've started being more me these past two weeks than I've felt for a couple of months. Maybe it was going to sea. Maybe it was something else.
Who knows. Anyhow, starting to write a bit more fanfic to get back in the saddle. It makes my mind shift into writing mode again. Two solo posts in three days...and suddenly, I'm hearing Alessandra and Roald again (from the NaNovel). And that other pair, the prince and princess story--I'm hearing them too. Now I just have to sit down and write what they are telling me.
In other news...I am such a wimp. I hate getting immunizations, and I hate getting a PPD.
And I feel so dumb for getting excited that my rotation date change request went through. But it did, and I'll be going to sea in June 2005.
i hope you don't mind me leaving a comment...i saw you post in womenwarriors. are you enlisted or officer?
I don't mind comments at all. I'm a Navy Chief coming up on my 17 year mark.
Sure. You can email me at zerakath @ yahoo.com. I might not have the answers you seek, but perhaps I could point you in the right direction.
By the way, you need to take the spaces out of that addy. I mangled it on purpose.

Results from the November 6, 2018, statewide election show that the nine-county Bay Area Region played a crucial role in solidifying the results for two measures of great interest to MTC: Proposition 1, a $4 billion bond measure for housing-related loans, grants, projects and programs for veterans; and Proposition 6, which aimed to rescind the gas tax hike and other transportation revenue sources embodied in 2017’s Senate Bill 1. The results for the two measures mirror each other, with counties voting “No” on Prop 6 tending to vote “Yes” on Prop 1. Without the Bay Area’s collective 71 percent “No” vote on Proposition 6, voters statewide would have rejected Proposition 6 by only 52 percent instead of 56.5 percent; and without the region’s collective 63 percent “Yes” vote for Proposition 1, that measure would have passed statewide by only 52 percent instead of 55.6 percent.
These numbers are accurate as of the most recent data available on November 14, 2018, and are not expected to substantially change.

The archive is one of the largest college archives in Oxford. The records date from the 12th century up to modern times.
Although the catalogues are not yet on-line, there is an electronic catalogue which we hope will be available in the near future. Please feel free to ring or e-mail to ask any questions about the content of the archive. The archive does not hold any diocesan records. These may be consulted at the Oxfordshire History Centre. Records relating to living people are subject to the terms of the Data Protection Act. There is also a section which deals with the history of the archive, and it is hoped to set up a similar one relating to the history and administration of the library.
Early material on Cardinal College, including the accounts of Robert Amadas, royal goldsmith, and the 1525 endowment of property.
Originally a sub-section of Governing Body papers, this series comprises records dealing with new buildings, and maintenance and repairs. The archive also holds a number of architectural drawings from the C18 to the present day.
Papers relating to and by individual members of Christ Church.
The collection of papers relating to the Phillimore family of judges and lawyers has been transferred from the library to the archive, and will undergo detailed listing as soon as possible.
Please note that permission to consult and/or publish anything from the papers of Hugh Trevor-Roper must be obtained in advance from Professor Blair Worden, Lord Dacre's literary executor. A brief listing of the papers is available on the Dacre trust website.
Permission to publish material from the Driberg collection must be sought from Ms Georgia Glover, David Higham Associates, 5-8 Lower John Street, London, W1F 9HA.
The large collection of papers relating to Lord Portal and the 2nd World War are retained by the Library.
Minute books, accounts, correspondence, etc. relating to the administration of the Senior Common Room. NB. This section includes a considerable amount of material by Charles Dodgson from his period as Curator of Common Room but material relating to Dodgson as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's adventures in Wonderland, are held by the Library.
Albums and loose photographs belonging to college clubs and societies, and topographical images. The Boat Club is particularly well-represented, and we hold matriculation photographs from 1947.
As part of its endowment, Christ Church was given the lordship of around 20 manors in England. Many of these have been sold with the landed estate over the years although a few remain in Christ Church's possession. The records held in the archive are, on the whole, post-medieval.
The Treasury papers form approximately half of the archive, and was the section initially catalogued by Dr Geoffrey Bill in the 1950s. As a consequence, it contains items which would not necessarily be considered Treasury (estates bursary) papers today. Principally the section deals with the financial administration of the college and cathedral, and particularly with its landed estate. As such it contains terriers and surveys, rent books, conveyances and leases, etc. However, it also includes material like the collections books, which record the termly reading of undergraduates from c.1700 to the late C19; the correspondence of George Chinnery, an undergraduate in the first decade of the C19; the building accounts of Tom Tower and Peckwater Quad, etc.
The Steward's Office (domestic bursary) was created in 1867 and took over from the Treasury the administration of accommodation, catering, conferences, etc. Its records include those of special dinners, student room allocations, and domestic staff.
The Censors are the academic administrators of the collegiate part of Christ Church. Many of its records are subject to the Data Protection Act and, as such, are not available for consultation. The section contains some material relating to the appointment of senior staff, and all the files relating to undergraduate and graduate members from c.1867. Until the 1930s, these files are often extremely thin. Rarely do our records hold any information on wives, mothers, or children, and often very little on post-Christ Church careers.
A relatively new department, the Development and Alumni Relations Office exists to keep in touch with members once they have left Christ Church, and to raise funds for the college and cathedral. Like the records of the Censors' Office, much remains subject to the Data Protection Act. Most of the material in the archive from this office relates to surveys of old members and fundraising literature.

Recombination between genes located on nonhomologous chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We constructed strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that contained two different mutant alleles of either the leu2 gene or the ura3 gene. These repeated genes were located on chromosomes V and XII and the two leu2- alleles were located on chromosomes III and XII. Genetic interactions between the two mutant copies of a gene were detected by the generation of either Leu+ or Ura+ revertants. Both spontaneous and ultraviolet irradiation-induced revertants were examined. By genetic and physical analysis, we have shown that Leu+ or Ura+ revertants can arise by a variety of different genetic interactions. The most common type of genetic interaction is the nonreciprocal transfer of information from one repeat to the other. We also detected reciprocal recombination between repeated genes, resulting in reciprocally translocated chromosomes.

I and my mom are currently on our toes for the last episode of “May Bukas Pa,” and there is only one thing I’d like to say.
I don’t want it to be another tragedy like “Magnifico”, though Magnifico is a magnificent film as it is, I really really really hope Santino will live. The world needs more people like him, a beacon of hope and kindness and generosity and endless faith to the Lord.
…But all the foreshadowing of the show points to his passing.
Still going to hope, though.

TRLE is a commercial version of the tool used by the developers of TR to design the TR levels. It is specifically for use with a special release of the TR4 game, and this is included on the Level Editor CD. This release is included with the commercial release of Tomb Raider: Chronicles on a separate CD-ROM.
It also contains several slighty modified TLR levels and a Playable Tutorial Level. Included are all the textures, audio files etc. you need to create your very own TR adventure! This is a complicated process and a fully detailed pdf manual is provided to guide you through the making of the playable tutorial level as well as giving lots of background info on the level making process (this manual requires the free Adobe Acrobat reader).
The Editor constructs TLR levels, but you won't be constrained to TLR textures. Others are available, and you can even make your own terrain textures. There will also be a good range of TLR enemies to use in your own unique levels. This will provide more adventurous Raiders with many hours of distractions, and a large number of custom levels are already available on the web.
Most of the PC levels already posted on the web are playable with the Mac Custom TR game - this gives a great selection of neat levels. But there are also some Mac designers and some very good Mac-made levels! Note that many of the custom levels on the web require converting before you are able to run them in the game. The advantage is that the unconverted levels are much smaller than the game-ready levels, and are a lot faster to download. Check the Mac TRLE instructions for details on the conversion process, which isn't very difficult.
There are an enormous number of single custom levels on the web now, many of which are very well made! There are also plenty of short TR games comprising several linked levels. If you thought you'd run out of TR games to play, then think again - even at October 2003, there are still good levels being released! However, I won't be able to provide any gameplay help for downloaded custom levels - for this you should check out the forums, or contact the author of the level.
NOTE: Due to time and bandwidth constraints I will unfortunately not be able to post any user-designed levels or walkthroughs. I will, however, try to post links to the best TRLE sites on the web - if you find a good one I've not included in my Downloads entry, please let me know the details.
Notes - TRLE can be used to design your own TR levels, which you can then play using the special edition game included on the Editor CD - in the Mac version this game is called 'Tomb Raider Level Player'. You can also download Mac or PC levels from the web - levels are compatible with both platforms!
Topics covered include the Weapons, Enemies, Moves, Vehicles, Bugs, and Cheats; as well as some Mac-specific information about watching the FMV's, and a neat way to see the TRC Main Menu Flyby and Special Features without that annoying text!
I try to play every level I'm posting so I can give a personal opinion, but that may not always be possible. If I have not played a level I'll say so; otherwise you can assume I've played the full level!
- Download links are to the level as posted at trle.net Custom Level Listing. The site has a good search function so be sure to go there and find out more about the authors and levels, and check out the reviews! Note that authors listed on that site are in alpha order of first name or nickname.
Another Tutorial Level - The first level from this author. Despite the title, this one bears no resemblance to the original Tutorial level and is an interesting departure from the usual Tutorial style. Suitable for most players. Quite straightforward, but good fun none the less.
Skeleton's Palace - The second level from this author is based on the Coastal wads. It shows good design skills development, and introduces some nice, and unusual, puzzles. This is a more difficult level than the first and should suit those players who have medium level playing skills, or a beginner who wants a challenge.
Out of Curiosity - Atsushi's fourth level features the Young Lara, and is one of the best of this genre to be released! It is based on modified Coastal wads and is a more polished effort than his first three, and a lot of fun! Lara has to negotiate a difficult environment, with no protection from some dangerous enemies but her wits. Remember that there are more ways of disposing of bad guys than blasting them out of existence! There are some devious secrets, one of which requires some practice and skill to acquire, and another which requires some lateral thinking. You will need to carefully explore all the areas you find yourself in to make it to the end as all may not be obvious at first glance. Be sure to save as much health as possible - unless you find all the secrets you might get very low on health by the end! This is not an easy level to complete and I'd recommend it for more experienced players.
Night School - The fifth level from this author continues the 'Young Lara' theme, with a concept I don't recall seeing before - Lara is trapped in a school and must open the main gates to get out! Not as simple as it sounds... The school building is nicely realised and a lot of exploring is necessary before Lara can go home! However, there are a couple of problems regarding the single secret in the level, which is very difficult to get - download these tips (2k ZIP) if you're finding it too difficult! This level has some tricky jumps and although otherwise not too difficult (apart from the secret) may be beyond a beginner.
The Thing In The Cellar - The sixth level from Atsushi is set in a wonderfully complex and realistic castle, where Lara has to find yet another artifact while dodging The Thing! I tested this and found it to be a solid challenge so it's not a level for beginners. Watch out for a very tricky 'Asian' jump (a jump using precise angles to skip over an edge), a race to beat a guard reaching a switch (similar to a place in TR3 Area 51, although this time it's not essential to beat him), and a tightly timed Motorcycle section (that is one of the more difficult timed runs I've seen). This level is for an experienced player.
The Thing In The Cellar Revised - This update has had a number of changes and now has two different endings, and it doesn't have the very tight timed Motorcycle run. I've not played it yet so I can't comment except to say that the reviewers have given it the thumbs-up!
Nethermore Castle - This is the first level from this author, and it's a stunning debut! From the moment it loads you know it's going to be one of the spookiest and most atmospheric levels out there! The lighting, map, textures, and audio are very evocative of a haunted night time castle, and for once a darker lighting level is totally appropriate, and even enhances the gameplay! A medium+ difficulty level requiring careful exploration of this wonderful castle. Highly recommended, and well worth the large download (which contains the game-ready TR4 file, and the custom audio files which add so much to the atmosphere of the level).
Tomb Raider Tokyo 1: Studio UMMO - This is Mirai's first level, and is the result of an experiment at building a copy of his own apartment. Of course I don't know how accurate it is, but it does look very realistic and mostly the proportions look lifelike (with a couple of notable exceptions ;-) It doesn't have much in the way of gameplay - just look through, check out the disco (and turn it on to get the visual effects), find the secret spot and head to the somewhat less likely 'basement'. If you like you can ride the motorcycle through the apartment, but do it before opening the basement trapdoor entry! Suitable for beginners.
Indus Valley: The Baths of Harappa - for those of you who, like me, have fond memories of the TR3 India levels, this one should provide a lot of fun. It has a very nicely designed map with a central jungle area including some tree climbing, along with several interesting side areas. Lots of places to explore! The jungle and ruins are convincingly put together and textured, and the feel is further enhanced with several watery areas. Unlike some others the author has resisted the temptation to scatter heaps of undergrowth around which, although looking good, impedes Lara's movements, so the ground isn't too cluttered here. There are plenty of challenges, including some tricky jumps and well placed bad guys (most of the monkeys are friendly ;-) and at one point it's necessary to find a way into the trees carrying a burning torch! The side areas aren't straightforward to access, and good fun when you get to them. However, as most of the side areas can be accessed in any order, it is necessary to do some exploring to work out what happens next. And it's possible to get yourself into a position resulting in Lara being unable complete the level (by trying to swim with the torch, thus losing it), so don't jump into deep water with the torch! As usual, it's a good idea to save in a new slot regularly, just in case! Cameras are mostly well done, with some nice fixed cameras and flybys to help you along. This level is intended to be the first of a series, and I'm looking forward to the next one! Not an easy level so more suited to experienced players.
Due to bandwidth restraints I am unable to post any levels. However, let me know if you'd like a link to your Mac levels included here (similar to the above entries). PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY LEVELS OR SCREENSHOTS! Email me with the name of the level, a short description, and the download URL only - no exceptions! Some of the sites listed below might also be able to post details and links to your own levels. Check on the sites for more information. Remember that if you want PC gamers to play them as well, you'll need to post Zip archives which can be used on both Mac and PC.
I won't be rating any levels, but I will try to play all those I post, and include a short comment. I can't accept any responsibility for any problems you may have with any levels I link to - this is the responsibility of the level's designer, so contact them with your questions and comments.
Essential site - trle.net has a great listing! These include the file type and size of the download, as well as a reviewer rating and separate reviews for nearly all the levels posted. Note that not all levels are Mac compatible, especially if they use the patched tomb4.exe PC game (although some of these will run on a Mac - it depends on what features have been activated).
Eidos Interactive Download page has some extra Editor WAD and TGA (texture) files to download. These may be needed to convert some custom levels, or for extra textures to use in your own projects.
The Official Tomb Raider site has a forum.
If you know of another good TRLE site, please let me know - I'll consider including it here.
As custom levels are designed by many different people with widely varying levels of expertise, you can expect to find the occasional bug. Also, playing PC designed levels on a Mac does result in the occasional bug not seen if played on a PC - a typical one of this type is a freeze caused by a game trigger, like a trigger to activate bad guys, which hangs the Mac for some as yet unknown reason. Another, this time common to both Mac and PC, is the 'flare bug', which results from an author designing too many active flame emitters into a level.
These are only a couple of examples. There is a lot more detail on custom level issues of all types on my 'Playing Custom Levels' page - essential reading for anyone playing custom levels on a Mac!

Back way back when, I used to come to Melrose at least once a year with a party of school children, I've played rugby there (and won!), driven through and round it numerous times but never really looked at the Abbey apart from in passing.
High time to put that right. It is quite a significant monument in Scottish history. Several Kings are buried there, but it is probably most famous for being the burial site of Robert the Bruce's heart; the rest of him is buried in Dunfermline Abbey. The heart is thought to have been bought back from the Crusades to be buried there, which is more than a bit odd!
However, it was 6 (yes SIX!) pounds to go in to look around. Its some ruins in a field! How can they justify that much (see Stonehenge too)? They are ruins! By definition there's no up-keep. A bit of mowing perhaps to keep the grounds looking half decent but I can't see where the money goes. Needless to say I was too tight to pay. I thought it was just my usual meanness but the week after we went friends were moaning about the same thing. They had the same solution too. If you walk to the right of the Abbey there is a little path that allows you to see pretty much everything you could see from inside the fence but, maybe, from 10 metres further away.

Since starting this, I’ve been trying to reconcile my inclination that at the root, all blogs are an exercise in egocentricity. I do enjoy reading blogs, however, so, as I mentioned in my First Post, why not me? I am not going to be posting every day, unless I really think I have something to say.
I’m not an intellectual, so I doubt that I’ll be posting erudite analysis of arcane religious dogma. I believe I’ll be mainly commenting, in a general way, about matters that strike my fancy, or that irritate me, or that otherwise cry out for Joe Schmoe’s reaction. Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens speak and write far better than I, and with far more style, that I wouldn’t even think about trying to copy them, or step in their turf. This blog is more for me, to test my thinking on relatively simple matters. The best way to test it is to hold it up to scrutiny. I think that’s the best service a blog can provide me. Other blogs have helped me in the process, but there’s nothing like trying to put one’s own thoughts on paper (or in this case, in cyberspace) to clarifying one’s thinking.
America is on the cusp of a critical change from religious zealotry to honest reason, and I simply wish to thank you for your enlightened role in facilitating that change.
I am (k)new to the world of the atheosphere (not believing in a round god?) er . . . atheist blogging. I discovered your site through Atheist Revolution (not a shameless plug, though I did get to do a guest post there). In the short time I have been frequenting such enlightened fare, I have switched from agnostic (with a touch of atheism) to atheist (with a touch of agnosticism) (though some call me just ‘touched’).
Anyway, don’t knock your (supposed) lack of indepth knowledge. I have found more useful information, ideas, and philosophical huh?!?! on sites such as yours than I have found in “higher” forms of publication. In other words, little old me (history major, interpreter, dad, husband, etc.) can actually understand the posts. And the brilliant (usually) posts by your readers are almost as educational.
Thanks Billy. If you ever have a post that you’d like to put up, and vjack doesn’t want it, or you think it might be more appropriate here, feel free to let me know. I’ll host it.
I was thinking of commenting to your current post, because I once engaged a theist who had persuasive answers for the question of evil, but I couldn’t think of an approach to enter in upon.

What was initially planned to be a 1 night stay turned out to be a trip of 4 nights in Turin. And I must say that even though the city centre of Turin is relatively small, but with so many things to see and marvel at, a visitor like me will need at least a month here.
Catch my next article introducing this elegant and green Italian city whose photos of the Mole with the Alps towering majestically behind have stolen my heart as well as many others.
Rows of trees line along the streets of Turin. This must be the most green city in Italy.
Before we go into the winners, let us look at some helpful tips that will aid you in choosing the right B&B for your future trips.
B&B offers a localised experience with a personal touch, whereby one gets to stay with a local host and be engaged in meaningful conversations that will increase one’s understanding of the place and her people, and plentiful of helpful suggestions on what to see, eat and do.
Unlike a hotel or a commercialised lodging, B&Bs usually are the apartments or houses which the host also live in, or live close to, hence they take pride in keeping the place clean and comfortable to allow guests to feel good. Service comes from their heart and it is nice to have someone whom you can approach for any advice or help if needed. It can be a good way to experience how do locals live and see the architectural as well as historical aspects of the buildings.
Also, incidents of theft are definitely much higher in hotels as all sorts of toms, dicks and harrys can pose off as one of the employees or guests, and it is not alarming that even some of the employees themselves are dishonest. Whereas in a B&B, the host’s reputation is at stake and there are not too many culprits to suspect.
How does one determine which B&B to stay?
The best website that I find is Tripadvisor where the reviews by past clients are more or less credible and there are photos posted by the reviewers of the B&B that are crucial in forming an impression of how the B&B kind of looks like. Once the photos and the reviews seem favorable, the next step will be to search for their website and contact the B&B for room availability and price. However, don’t be fooled by the number of reivews a B&B has. Some real gems simply may not have that many reviews written. In general, going by the tried and tested logic, most people would prefer those with more reviewers in order to feel more assured.
Since the previous article was on Sestri Levante, I would like to introduce to you this wonderful B&B which I fell in love with after seeing photos of it and the great reviews about the place and the host on Tripadvisor.com … B&B PIAZZA ITALIA (http://www.bbpiazzaitalia.it/en/). Not surprising that it is the top B&B in Sestri Levante. The photos here serve as a testimony of my wonderful and unforgettable stay there, and I look forward to be back again, and be pampered.
Conveniently located with just a few steps away from the Sestri Levante train station, the entrance to the B&B is below this short flight of stairs. Wonder what is behind the glass windows?
The whole compound surrounding the house is a garden, with beautiful flowers like this.
Alessandro even grows roses which some might have been used as part of his decorative works in the B&B.
When I arrived at the start of the stairs, Alex was there waiting for me with a BIG smile and helped me with my luggage. I was already half-alive having woked up very early in order to catch the train which took me about 4 hours of ride.
I was greeted by Alessandro’s mother, a very lovely woman as I came into the living room which is also sort of a reception area. I was in awe of the warm ambience and the good mix of classic with modern interior design that exude an elegant feel.
I sat on the extremely comfortable sofa while Alessandro went to get me a cup of tea. Thereafter, he gave me a tourist map of the town and introduced very enthusiastically the places and events that should not be missed. He also recommended some trattorias that serve good and unpretentious local cuisine that offer discount if I mention that I am a guest at B&B Piazza Italia. I had to hand it to him for being so genuinely enthusiastic going through this despite having done so countless of times with other guests.
White is the main choice of color of the furniture and furnishings, with some black to give definition and sophistication.
Well, not when they are half-used. But here is an exception, and even the candle holders add a touch of elegance to the layout.
… and the bigger box has beautiful fresh roses, with a Renaissance putto beside. Many a time, simple elegance like this is enough.
Just by looking at the living room, one can already tell that Alessandro is a man who pays great attention to details with care, leaving nothing uncovered. So guests can feel confident and comfortable staying at the B&B.
Fresh flowers represent sincerity and can you feel the warm and sincere hospitality of Alessandro already?
Classical art. This is what I call real taste. Alessandro creatively put some Italian sweets for guests to feel free to take and try.
One of the few roman classical human busts add a touch of refined beauty to the B&B. Not forgetting thèse 3 cute pine cones placed in candle holders.
According to Alessandro, this house built in the early 20th century was destroyed during the bombing of the second world war. The original hand designed stucchi decorations, ancient doors and floorings have been restored.
Behind the door in the living room opens to another living room! What beautiful light shade! The feeling that one gets is that of stepping into a cosy familial area.
Alessandro is indeed a man of creativity and talents, with a fine taste for all things beautiful. He gets his decorative items mostly from his travels and antiques markets. Importantly, he knows how to mix and match them and lay them out in such a way that is classic elegance that makes guests feel at home.
Alessandro said that in his family, the womenfolk were masters in lace sewing by hand. It is not hard to understand why they were masters of their craft. Look at how intricate the stitchings are!
Beautifully laid out dining table with fresh roses in the middle, all done up by Alessandro himself. As I arrived before checked-in time, and was feeling and must had looked tired and hungry, Alessandro invited me to the pantry area to have some breakfast. I was amazed by the selection of pastries, bread, fruits and beverages that I could help myself with. I had genovese focaccia, which was one of the most deliciously unforgettable. Alessandro even shared the recipe on making the focaccia. The beautifully and precise lay-out of the cutlery and serviette shows how much care and attention to detail Alessandro has paid to give his guests a 7-star B&B experience. Seriously, I was reluctant to use them.
After having worked as a chef for 20 years, cooking should be his second nature. Look at the yummy-licious biscuits he has prepared and kept cruchy in these cute glass containers. Not too sweet, they were just right for the health-conscious like me, and enough to satisfy the sweet-tooths.
Where could be a better place in a B&B than the dining area where people get to bond over food? Alessandro was very kind and friendly who will always do his best to be present, and chat with guests, asking if they had a good sleep, etc. Alessandro and his very lovely mother are always ready to help. A smile and kind gestures are more than enough to communicate to the heart, transcending spoken languages.
For B&B Piazza Italia, generosity is THE word to describe it. Generous food and beverages throughout the day in the pantry/dining room, generous hospitality from Alessandro and his mum, and now, inside the room, complimentary regional wine. How generous is that? As a further testimony to Alessandro’s merticulous care and attention, I left the unsuccessfully unscrewed cork as it was the night before, disappointed that I was unable to savor it before I turned in for the night. The next morning, while Alessandro was doing house-keeping in the room, he noticed my failed attempt, and kindly placed a new cork which I was able to just pull it off later that evening when I returned.
scent of fresh roses fills the room the moment I walked in. Thick curtains decorate the beginning of the doorway to ensure guests have a good and undisturbed sleep at night or simply to provide privacy as well.
Luxury can be expressed by simplicity. Nothing too opulent here. Just simple bed, drawers, and classic french bed side tables.
… at the classic french bed side table which I like a lot.
Double-glazed big windows that open out to a view of the garden outside and sky above.
Here, the bed is a luxe. White sheets and hand-sewn covers with lace by the ladies in Alessandro’s family.
Going through this sweet lace work with my fingers, I wondered how many heads that had rested here knew about this precious heritage?
After a day out in the sun, as I returned to B&B Piazza Italia, it felt like returning home as I stepped into the living room, illuminated by soft yellow light of the classic styled lamps. In the words of Alessandro on his motive for having this B&B, “I want to create a corner whereby my guests may discover wonderful surprises in the little details that I take great care and attention to make their stay memorable.” Thank you Alessandro, you have made my stay in Sestri Levante and Italy an unforgettable one.
I asked Alessandro, the amiable owner who has a natural flair for interior design, to share about his experience in setting up and running the B&B, and what motivates him to always keep that smile and energy despite at times, is a tough job, especially when he has to do the house-keeping after guests checked-out.
“I started out as a cook in a hotel for about 20 years. It was over this period of time there that I ‘breathed the atmosphere of the hotel’. That was where my desire to offer something different and more refine on the land of Sestri Levante developed.
So about 10 years ago, I opened my first B & B “CA ‘DU ALE” (http://www.caduale.it) which is a couple of kilometers from the city center. Though it is a simple place, careful attention is given to every single aspect of hospitality in order to ensure our guests have an enjoyable stay. But, I desired to do more, like something that can combine historical value with genuine hospitality.
And so about 4 years ago, I decided to open the doors of another house that is part of the history of Sestri Levante, to all who love refined beauty and wish to experience the simple life and spirit of Sestri Levante’s town, nature and people. Here at B&B Piazza Italia, is where elegance blends with the traditions and local flavors of my territory.
One of the most beautiful coastlines in the world has got to be that of Italy, from the Italian Riveria starting from Ventimiglia to all the way down to Sicily. Picturesque coastal villages built on the rocky slopes of the mountains, warm pastel colored buildings and the colorful fishing boats docked on the shores, what a sight to behold!
For some reprive from the loads of tourists that flood Cinque Terre, take a local train westwards to Sestri Levante which is about 30mins ride from Monterosso with fantastic coastal views.
Here the town is built on low lands along the shoreline. Perhaps some might find it lacking the awe inspired as compared to all 4 other villages with the exception of Monterosso al Mare in Cinque Terre and those along Amalfi Coast, Sestri Levante is by no means a destination to be missed.
Here, you will find more Italians than tourists, and this place comes alive during the weekends when young Italians, many as families taking a weekend break from a hectic week. During the weekdays, it is calm and peaceful, and is easy to strike a conversation with the retirees to learn about the town, fishing, and sometimes even more interesting topics like politics or family.
The best period to visit is between May to June, and end September to early November where the weather is pleasant, and accommodations are at a low peak rate. What’s best? You can practically be the one of the only few tourists without being disturbed.
Restaurants by the beach become alive in the evenings and on the weekends.
Bathing facilities and beach chairs are available for the tanners. But as it was in spring time and a week day, it probably explains why no one is around.
Grey clouds in the distant with wind blowing towards my direction. Rain, rain! Go away, come again another day!
Rows of fishing boats on the beach. Take your pick!
Old town of Sestri Levante is built on a thin stretch of peninsula like a cresent moon with 2 beautiful bays.
1+1 = Sestri Levante! How can one miss it when the town’s name is spelt in big alphabets on the back of the cute shower huts on the beach of the Bay of Fairy Tales?
I love the open-air markets where I can get to immerse myself in the local culture and get to see many locally produced products like wines, handicrafts, olive oils, cakes, fruits, etc. I particularly love the spices and herbs stall as the lady was very funny and allowed me to try the spices. You will be amazed you can get curry powder here! Yes, I did bargain and succeeded!
There is something really cute about these fishing boats, don’t you think so?
Walk along Via Pilade Queirolo, away from the jetty and up the slope and voilà! You will notice there will be a cross facing out to the sea at coastal towns because locals were/are generally Catholics and this is for protection of the seamen and the town from storms.
There are quite a number of B&Bs in the old town and one can simply just stay in one of these buildings with a balcony overlooking the Silent Bay and have a delicious meal right below!
Small fishing boats powered by a small engine like these generally do not take up much space and are easy to ‘park’ on the shore.
Sneak peak at SIlent Bay.
During low peak season, you could just have almost the whole bay to yourself and a few others! Is not difficult to leave your footsteps in the sand now, isn’t it?
Silent Bay or Baia del Silenzio, a very narrow strip of sandy beach where the buildings are practically next to the shoreline. Not much space left for sun-tanning especially with the fishing boats there.
This German woman, who is a mother of 2 has such fab body that will drive most women green with envy. She must have known about my admiration and hence that bright smile!
Silent Bay indeed living up to her name.
Silent Bay, in a semi-circle form, walking along the shoreline will bring you to the upper part of the mountain where one can find a hotel and a church, and fantastic views of Silent Bay.
More boats on waters of Silent Bay, but they are more for leisure sailing.
Part of the charm of Italian coastal towns are their narrow alleys in between pastel colored buildings. You will never know what to expect!
As you ascent up the slope of Via Penisola di Levante, breath-taking views of the town below and opposite greenery await you.
Hidden surprises along the steep walk, where there are some hotels tucked up in a hidden santuary.
This is what is left of baroque-styled Ruderi Oratorio Santa Caterina after a bombardment in WWII in 1944 and this statue was erected in memory of those who lost their lives during the war.
Sneak peak from the woods above Church of St Nicolò dell’isola. Romanesque style characterised by unpolished stones that set the church and the pointed arches.
Looking at the architecture in detail, notice the bell tower has belfry windows where the church bells would ring.
This church was built in the 12th century, altered during Baroque period and later been renovated back to its original look.
View of the Silent Bay on the other side while walking towards the chic hôtel Helvetia.
Beautiful view of the villas, bell tower of Church of St Nicolò dell’isola, and the medieval castle on higher grounds.
See the shape of the Silent Bay? On beautiful weather like this, the colors of the buildings and the sea certainly bring a smile to everyone’s face.
A little close-up of the castles above the town. In those days, the village was part of the Republic of Genoa. And like all other villages along the coast, it was subjected to brutal raids by bullying ennemies and pirates. Hence, fortications were built to secure the people living in there.
A breakwater that is popular amongst the people who need to let off some sort of pent-up frustrations.
With majestic nature unfolding before your eyes, is hard not to resist being at the forefront to feel its powerful force.
Go ahead, shout out loud and let the sounds of the waves carry it away from you.
Come on, honey, let’s turn back. Let me go ahead of you, don’t be afraid.
Be careful, is very slippery. The waves are hitting over the breakwater.
I am coming! Wait for me!
Take a photo of me, please? This breakwater is certainly very popular with the people!
Isn’t it lovely? The sunset beyond the horizon and the waves that hit the shore.
There is a pathway that leads past Hotel Helvetia and up the hill where some villas are located. From a higher altitude, this is the view of Silent Bay. Picturesque, isn’t it?
Certainly from a higher ground, the view does get farther and better.
Beautiful flowers growing on the slopes of the hill.
Here is the whole view of Sestri Levante and Silent Bay. The pathway is very easy to walk, that is not too steep, and there are benches at the sides for you to stop, sit and enjoy the scenary or even have a picnic there like I did!
The eternal icon of Sestri Levante, Il Leudo, the last sailing leudo in the Liguria région. It was built to transport cargos, and be towed and be ‘parked’ on the beach of Bay of the Fables.
Walking away from the old town of Sestri Levante along the Bay of Fables westwards and enjoy the rushing waves as they hit the shore and the rocks.
Sky so blue with clouds like cotton wool, water so green and the rocks so brownish grey … so close your eyes and feel the nature. Is so therapeutic.
Hit me baby one more time, as Britney Spears sang in one of her hit songs. I was taken aback by the forcefulness as the waves crashed onto the rocks.
Sestri Levante has many good trattorias that will whip up your appetite! This trattoria which is along the Bay of Fables, which was the only one which was still open at 3pm . Who would have thought that it serves one of the most spécial and delicious spaghetti alla marinara in a sauce that tasted like curry! HEAVENLY! Good news? I finished them all!
Sunsets is one of the prettiest on the coast of the Mediterreanean and here at the Silent Bay and Bay of Fables, the moment is simply magical.
Back again to the Silent Bay as I was told by my host that it is the most magical during sunset hours. And I could not agree more.
Such a difference between morning when the sun is out and high as compared to the near setting of the sun. Yes, I prefer in the evening. There is some sort of magic with the sun behind, creating a glowing effect on the colored buildings and the glimmering waters.
See Helvetia on the walls that lead upwards the hill? Yes, that is the path that you should take to go upwards to catch a bird’s eye view of Sestri Levante old town.
So many ways to keep the fishing boats on the shore.
The beach over at the Bay of Fables is definitely more spacious, hence alot of fishing boats are parked here, and where fishermen mend their nets.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprint.
The beautiful ancient castle now hotel dei Castelli above offering unobstructed views of the Meditereannean sea and the towns westwards.
I could not resist not taking this moment. So carefree and the man was like trying to catch a crab perhaps?
Baia celle Favole or in english as Bay of Fables was named in honor of a Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen, who is known for his fairytales such as ‘The New Emperor’ and ‘The Little Match Girl’. He lived in Sestri Levante briefly in 1833. What an apt name! The view before me does seem like a perfect setting for a fairytale or a painting. A pity I did not bring along my painting materials.
Sestri Levante residential area from Bay of Fables. Behind them is lush green vegetation on the mountains. How nice to be living here, surrounded by nature!
If you are in for some fun at the sea, can give canoeing a try.
Doesn’t this feel like heaven is opening up? Could there be an angel hiding behind the clouds?
Such beautiful sunset moment. This is when I see more couples walking along the beach, enjoying the scenary before their eyes and each other’s company. Romantic!
The setting sun illuminating the mountains beyond and the waters glimmer like they are dancing under the last of sun’s rays.
I thought I was able to get a cocktail or 2 and have my dinner here, but it was unfortunately closed.
Yes, I was sad to leave Sestri Levante. But I will be heading to another town that offers a different flavor, which is just about another 40mins train ride away.

If you want to be best on ground at your company Christmas party this year, we suggest you take your lead from Kimi Raikkonen.
The Ferrari star played second fiddle to Sebastian Vettel for much of the F1 season but he upstaged his teammate at the FIA awards night on Saturday (AEDT), saving his best performance of the season for last.
Raikkonen finished third in the drivers’ standings behind Vettel and world champion Lewis Hamilton and sure, he broke through for his first win in five years at the US Grand Prix and racked up 12 podium finishes, but we reckon his effort in a suit and tie today is his most memorable of 2018.
At the end-of-season gala celebrating the year that was, the Finn was looking schmick. We know because he was kind enough to provide us with a “before” shot ahead of the ceremony.
But if there’s one thing we learnt, it’s Raikkonen can go from zero to 100 real quick. And boy the internet is happy he did.
The champagne was flowing and, because it would be rude not to, the Scuderia star took full advantage of what we’re assuming was an open bar — not that FI drivers are exactly in desperate need of freebies.
It didn’t look like Vettel was overly interested in what his chatty colleague had to say as they shared the same table.
But all Raikkonen really wanted was to smoke his cigar in peace. And regale those around him with a story or two.
But the 39-year-old really came to life when he walked on stage. Raikkonen looked slightly less crisp than he did in his pre-event Instagram post when he trundled out to accept his award for coming third in the drivers’ championship.
He acknowledged the crowd and applauded Vettel before offering his teammate a little bow. “Kimi has enjoyed tonight a lot,” the presenter said.
Yes, yes he had. We’re surprised he got to the stage without a map in one hand and a compass in the other.
Looking a little unsure of himself on two feet given he’s used to getting around in a four-wheeler, Raikkonen struggled to stay upright, but he got there in the end.
Raikkonen will drive for Sauber next year after joining the team on a two-year deal while Charles Leclerc will replace him at Ferrari. Let’s hope he’s recovered from his hangover by the time he next gets behind the wheel.

Hey, this release comes with some rework on the source code in order to make it "repository friendly" for those that want to make a repository package of it.
The Runescape player Ker Laeda have been so nice(and patient) to help me test the client through a repository and to come with input to necessary changes.
You need to make the .desktop files self, the install-desktop-icons script is designed for users without admin permissions!
This is because it is actually the package maintainers responsibility to update the package(update-scripts can be used as an override though in case of slow maintainers :P ).
When installed to /opt the client will use ~/.config/runescape as the client directory where settings.conf, runescape.prm and jagexappletviewer.jar will be located.
If you do not want to have compability mode support (run client through wine) then you can safely remove the win32 folder!
If you do not want support for the user to have his/her own local user client then you can safely remove "install-desktop-icons" and the templates folder.
Please note that IF you are doing to make a repository for this client.
have write permissions by default.
from jagex without waiting for the package maintainer!
make the OpenGL fix not work or make the client fail to launch alltogether.
to use a custom java binary, this will solve this issue on these affected systems.
This message will ONLY be triggered if preferredjava is not set or is set to default-java!
sudo find / -name "libjli.so" | sed "s/\\/lib\\/\\(i386\\|amd64\\\/jli\\/libjli.so/\\/bin\\/java/g"
To be completely fair, I used the older client for ages. Last night it kept crashing when I would click to enter the game from the lobby, it would close. I thought whatever It's due to update anyway. So I updated from the windows client and I upgraded all of the scripts. It's telling me java won't work. I pointed it to my openjdk binary with no luck.
I suspect it might have to do with my OpenGL fix.
Sure! Sorry to be a bother, java is NOT my thing. I got off stupid late tonight, I'm just adding a eula package to */distfiles/ for OpenJDK6 port. Then I'll add the new work path to the config and post back.
Actually.. The oracle doesn't have the file I need, I'll have to update my ports directory and try again in the morning. I apologize in advance, and for previous delays. Thank you for your time.
no problem, take the time you need.
only Jagex is allowed to distribute that file and i had to remove it.
updated java and gave the config the new work path, and I installed from windows client to save time inupdating p7zip port.
Not sure where the change was made, I did both. It works as intended now thank you very much for your advice and timely response.
The jar file got removed in version 2.4 and up as me and Mod Mozza investigated if it was ok of me having it in the archive.
The legal team recommended me to not have it in the archive as it could cause trouble for Jagex if it was freely available to those countries/locations that they are not allowed to distribute the client to (as my client is kinda linked to their website through the forum and wiki).

It's been overcast / raining on and off here for days, but finally the kind of weather where you can leave the windows open some nights. A few more weeks/degrees in this direction could almost warrant turning on my fireplace… probably no such luck though.
Anyway, have recently entered some involuntary phase where I long for a hot meal every night but neither feel like eating out nor can be bothered to cook. Or grocery shop. Think it's got something to do with it being pitch dark at 6. Or it's Thanksgiving being around the corner… or this weather. Who knows. Either way, the only thing I am decently familiar with that somewhat approximates the illusion of a private chef is my decade old slow cooker.
Lucky to have had a few different kinds of mushrooms and some goat brie in my otherwise empty fridge this morning, so dinner's looking/smelling pretty good tonight. I'm in for a quiet night with a book while trying to master the interest to check up on Black Friday deals. Would love to score one of those iRobot vacuum cleaners that cleans the house while you're out (guess it's the cleaning lady equivalent of the slow cooker chef?) but I know they'll be pricey even on sale so probably won't bother.
Well, happy Thanksgiving everyone, drive safely and enjoy the food coma.
It's a hot hot Summer down here in Florida and I have just returned from the equally hot (or likely even hotter) Nevada. As always, very happy to reunite with Smokey, who, much like myself, is in the desperate need of a haircut. We both got decent haircuts before I left (evidence below) so there really is no explanation.
Anyway, really don't have much to blog about at the moment. My good friend Ernie, whom I think I saw a total of one time this year just called that he is back from Europe. I'm not even sure how long he was gone it's been that long.
Not sure what you ladies do for hair-care when living out of a suitcase.

As players have started populating the in-game world of Absolver and search for every move possible, one particular strike has proved both elusive and sought-after: a formless, direct, open-handed slap to the face.
The Calbot is a simple move, one players have been referring to as “the slap.” In a game about technique and form, mastering the martial arts, a direct slap stands out. It’s also tied to a hidden trophy, leading players to seek it out for more than just variety’s sake.
To get the move, you have to either find someone who already knows it, or run into a random NPC in the world that seems to use the Calbot as their main, almost only, move.
Players have been posting areas where the Calbot NPC tends to spawn, but otherwise, you could join another player’s school and learn it from them. Just be sure to spread the shameful joy of the Calbot slap around.

Bethany rode the school bus on Oct. 19 with a friend and shared that she planned to kill herself later that day.
“She told her she loved her and that she was her best friend forever, but that she was going to kill herself when she got home,” Wendy Feucht, Bethany’s mother, told The Columbus Dispatch.
Once Bethany arrived at her home in Cable, she found a loaded handgun on an upper shelf, went to the back porch and shot herself. The Columbus Dispatch reported that it was unclear who owns the gun.
Feucht and Bethany’s father, Paul Thompson, both questioned whether bullying at school may have contributed to their daughter’s death. Feucht, who is divorced from Thompson, said her daughter’s friend told her that a group of classmates picked on the girls relentlessly that week.
Feucht told the newspaper that her daughter had created anti-bullying posters, but an administrator prevented her from displaying them because they weren’t positive.
“I’m sure she felt pretty defeated,” Feucht told The Columbus Dispatch.
Bethany’s suicide isn’t the first for Triad Middle School— four years ago a 12-year-old boy killed himself. Triad Local Superintendent Chris Piper acknowledged bullying behavior against Bethany last year, but declined to provide details, saying the matter was resolved.
“There was no evidence of a pattern of bullying this year,” Piper told the newspaper, adding that efforts are underway to address bullying.

My very first typefaces Sadness and Grimoire have just been published in new and revised versions at Myfonts. After the tragic end of the established Fountain Type Foundry I had to ask myself the following question: Is there still any justification for the existence of my 20 year old fonts?
I’m nearly finishing work on my new experimental 3D typeface called Plastica. I’m facing few problems I would like to discuss.
It is CFF OpenType made in FontLab on PC. Outlines are very precise and I used atypical custom UPM of 2300 units (23 modules at 100 units). But this should be fine regarding to older nodes on Typophile.
There are two versions: Plastica One (Striped) and Plastica Two (Outlined).
This is a 'brother' of INVECTORS font relased earlier.
Feel free to leave a comment..

I am looking for a similar typeface just like the image attached. It's a broche people get when graduating nurse school in the '60 in Holland. Besides my own research, I might need your expertise about similar typeface. But then I am looking for a bit more modern looking then this one, but still the same style.
Sans, Serif, Stencil, and Inline in one Typeface?
Does anyone know of a single typeface that has sans serif, serif, stencil, and inline (or outlined) styles? Again, I'm looking for a single typeface that has all of these styles included—I know, quite a tall order, but I'm curious if one exists. Audree is the only one I know that comes close. It has a so-called normal style, but not a pure sans serif.

Hi everybody, this is my first post on the forum, and I'd like to present my font for you.
I'm going to relase it as free.
I also welcome your feedback and comments..
I'm trying to find a font similar to this one if anyone could help!
Hello guys! Happy New Year 2015!
Today i have released new version of Wallington : it's Wallington Pro!

Style is adopted from Old English cultures with their descendants around mid-12th century and Art nouveau in 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures and the curved lines. Crafted with love and easy-to-read letter design.
Wallington Pro consists of 721 glyphs including 268 unique ligatures, 30+ catchwords and 10 stylistic sets.
Get Wallington Pro Discount - 63% OFF until 7 January!
I've released my typeface "BOXDON" which was especially designed for vertical layout. The typeface looks like boxes or playing blocks with minimal counter space to enhance 'stacked' feeling as much as possible.
In general, Japanese, Chinese and Mongolian, etc. is well known as languages which can have vertical layout system. However, even in usage of Latin alphabets, we can see some examples of vertical layout as building signage and spine of books. Then I thought that we have possibility to design special typeface for vertical layout to dig out expansion of type design world.
I hope this typeface gives spicy inspiration to your graphic design..
Hello my name is Jose Luis Ruvalcaba and I'm currently attending The Art Institute of Phoenix. I'm a senior and pursuing a degree in graphic design with a minor in typography. I'm currently enrolled in a font design class and I just completed my typeface! I would love your personal and professional opinion. Please let me know what you like and what would make this typeface better.
I'm working on a typeface this quarter for a school class and need some critique from you type experts. The name of my typeface is "1800 Something" because it was Inspired by the “Franklin TYPE Foundry - Book of Specimens Edition of 1889”. The goal with this font was to use characteristics of 1800 typefaces and make them relevant again for type nerds alike. Basically i'm looking for any critique but I am specifically concerned with my drop shadow alternates, how can I make the drop shadow less illustrator stroke looking, it feels too blocky.
Thanks for any comments and all your critiques!
An older font of mine called Signer and some pictures during its design process.
It's a common question to ask what your favorite typeface is but I usually get stuck because there are so many typefaces that are amazing in different ways, it's difficult to select any and exclude others. I have an extensive collection of pictures of typefaces on my computer so I know what's around generally speaking. However, at least once a year a typeface is released that's so clever and so well done it makes me realize there is a lot more to do in type design besides emulating old classics.
Hi I am starting up an Eyelash Extension spa- the logo picture is a very rough draft. My demographic is early 20s to late 40s with average being late 20s-early 30s. Am trying to convey an upscale, chic, modern (but not cold), stylish, with elegant/feminine touch. Suggestions of typefaces is VERY appreciated! Have been going crazy trying to find something that looks ok. Was thinking modern/script but am open to other typefaces/script. Also what would you recommend then for tagline? (Logo might be edited with box around it and/or without tagline). Again your guys feedback is very very much appreciated!

quintessential UK 1920s-80s typeface suggestions?

I’m currently working on branding for an Asian city and I imagine the wordmark to have a modern, Western-friendly appeal, but with a subtle Asian warmth and sharpness to it.
ITC Symbol Std has caught my attention so far, but I’m really not comfortable with the varying thickness of the stems and the loops. Also, the thicker weights look nice but when it comes down to the lighter weights, the typeface looks odd.
I have also found Penumbra to be appealing although I wish it had more subtle serifs and available lowercase letters for the wordmark I’m designing.
I've been working on this font for over a year now, I've been putting it on and off and I'm hoping to finish it by the end of the year. Right now all I have is lowercase and will eventually work my way to numbers and glyphs.
I'll gladly appreciate any feedback and criticism.
"Core Sans" family – any opinions?
can anyone comment on the usability of the "Core Sans" family by S-Core?

Titus Nemeth's article titled "Simplified Arabic: a new form of Arabic type for hot metal composition" was recently published in "Typography papers 9."
This is an excellent review of the development of Simplified Arabic since its inception in the 1950's. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with the history of Arabic typeface design. It would be even more useful if some of the figure were published large enough to show the details of the typefaces featured. Perhaps, Reading or Nemeth could publish these images in high resolution on the Internet for those of us who desire to learn more.
¶ I'd like to start a thread about typeface-related books.
1. Can the moderator create a section dedicated to typeface-related books?
2. Is there a place to purchase out of print typeface-related books?
3. Can you draw your list of out of print typeface-related books?
Out Now: LICHTSPIELHAUS. A TYPE NOIR.

There are 8 styles: Hairline, Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black and Heavy.
"Lichtspielhaus" is the first part of a new Type Noir Quadrilogy.

Regency is a five man a cappella vocal group from Baltimore Maryland. They are often called the Temptation of the twenty first century. Their musical magic has fascinated fans throughout the United States. They sing everything from 40's Swing, Elvis, Motown and Classics and Pop Tunes in their own special a cappella style that is not quite doo wop, not quite R&B, but altogether wonderful. They have won Entertainer of The Year on the college market many times, have done national commercials and have opened for many of today's leading musicians. They have NEVER performed without receiving a standing ovation. Their biggest fans are musicians who marvel at their vocal ability. Regency won the New York Regionals several years back and have not competed in several years.
Five guys came out of the Somerset Housing Projects in Baltimore who sang anywhere and everywhere-at the Jack in the Box they were known as the Box Boys. That name changed to Regency, and with many collegiate music awards and some personnel changes later, the group tours over 300 universities and colleges a year. At 1 pm on June 27, 1994, Regency went into the recording studio to eat Philly steaks and fries, and to sing and sing some more. At 10 pm they had finished an incredible recording session, 21 songs completed a cappella without overdubs or studio trickery. Some favorites are a pair of Presley covers, "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog," Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti," The Righteous Bros' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," Sam Cooke's "Only Sixteen," James Brown's "I Got You," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," "The Most Beautiful Girl In the World," the Isley Bros' "Shout," and "Day-O" (Banana Boat Song). This is the authentic street corner Doo Wop, with a bunch of guys who know each other as absolutely as they know the songs. This CD is a remarkable achievement and a real treat!

Joy P. Deupree, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, an assistant professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Nursing, has been named one of 20 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Executive Nurse Fellows for 2014.
Deupree joins a select group of nurses from across the country chosen to participate in the final cohort of this world-class, three-year leadership development program designed to enhance the effectiveness of nurse leaders who are working to improve the United States health care system.
Executive Nurse Fellows hold senior leadership positions in health services, scientific and academic organizations, public health and community-based organizations or systems, and professional, governmental, and policy organizations. They continue in their current positions during their fellowships, and each develops, plans, and implements a new initiative to improve health care delivery in her or his community. The fellowship is supported through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
“The magnitude of this program is overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. From speaking with past Fellows, I anticipate it will provide me with the guidance and support to take on projects that are more challenging and significant, not only in Alabama but nationwide,” Deupree said.
Started by RWJF in 1998, the RWJF Executive Nurse Fellows (ENF) program strengthens the leadership capacity of nurses who aspire to shape health care in their communities, states, and nationally. The program will provide Deupree and her colleagues with coaching, education, and other support to strengthen their abilities to lead teams and organizations working to improve health and health care. The ENF program is located at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), and co-directed by Linda Cronenwett, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean emerita and professor in the School of Nursing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and David Altman, PhD, executive vice president and managing director at CCL.
Deupree is the epitome of the description of an RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow– a nurse who “holds senior leadership positions in health services, scientific and academic organizations, public health and community-based organizations or systems, and national professional, governmental, and policy organizations” – and her leadership has impacted a number of organizations, including the Alliance of International Nurses for Improved Health Literacy – which she founded.
She also is the senior advisor for policy for the Nurse Practitioner Alliance of Alabama (NPAA), the professional association that represents the interests of more than 3,000 Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners in Alabama. Deupree and five colleagues began working in 2006 to establish the NPAA to spearhead the efforts to reduce practice barriers for advanced practice registered nurses in Alabama, and to strengthen relationships among health care provider and other interest groups statewide and laws for all of nursing in the state.
Deupree’s list of accomplishments and service to patients and the profession is impressive for someone who returned to college in her early 30s to pursue a BSN, all while she and her family owned and operated several successful family businesses.
Deupree found her passion in nursing school – improving health care access for rural and underserved areas of Alabama. After completing her BSN she immediately returned to school to earn a master’s degree that would result in her certification and practice as a nurse practitioner - serving primarily the indigent and underserved. Later, she earned a PhD in health education, public health and health promotion via a joint program with UAB and the University of Alabama with health literacy as her dissertation topic for which she now dedicates her research.
Today passion for improving access to care for those in rural and underserved areas has taken her from caring for patients to working with the Alabama legislature to pass legislation to expand the role of nurse practitioners in the state.
Deupree was president of NPAA from 2012-2013, championing the passage in the Alabama Legislature of SB224 that improved the scope of practice for nurse practitioners; SB224 creates an avenue for nurse practitioners to have access to the Patient Drug Monitoring Database and prescribe controlled substances.
A key component of the SB224 called for an advisory council to be established between nursing and medicine to continue the work of eliminating barriers and improve access in Alabama. Deupree is an appointed member of the committee.
Deupree said that even with the passage of SB224 there are still opportunities and challenges for continued growth and change of policy that will support system change over the next decade.
This, she said, will take strong leadership with committed individuals and believes her time as an RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow will give her even more tools to fulfill one of her goals as a Fellow -- building upon what has already been accomplished. Even though there are 19 states and Washington, D.C., that have independent practice for NPs, there is much work to be done both in Alabama and nationally she said she is anticipating collaborating with others nationally sharing lessons learned from what has been accomplished in Alabama.
“My ultimate goal is to decrease practice barriers for nurse practitioners in Alabama and promote a culture of interprofessional practice and collegiality among nurse practitioners and physicians,” she said. Throughout the past several years while working on legislation, my mantra was to put the patient at the center of the discussion. In today’s world of health care, the need is so great; there is room for all professions to work together,” she said.
Her second goal with the RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow program is to work with national leaders of the health literacy movement and nursing field in an effort to better train nursing students as well as nurses at the beside on all matters related to health literacy. Alabama, Deupree said, has some of the greatest needs related to low health literacy.
It is not enough, Deupree said, to conduct patient education, nurses also must be taught to understand the prevalence of low health literacy and be aware of options for patients- whether it be referrals to adult basic education classes or designing work arounds to assist a patient, there are many ways nurses can have a tremendous impact.
Deupree added that once her Fellowship is complete, not only does she hope to utilize what she has learned to make positive changes for the health of Alabamians, she also hopes to bring along the state’s next generation of nurse leaders.
For more than 40 years the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has worked to improve the health and health care of all Americans. We are striving to build a national Culture of Health that will enable all Americans to live longer, healthier lives now and for generations to come. For more information, visit www.rwjf.org.

A quality lawn results from using the right grass species and/or variety, proper planting and establishment, and sound management. Planting the right turfgrass for your site reduces the need for pesticides. The most important step for the homeowner is selecting the proper turfgrass for the situation.

As anyone knows who has thought about the subject for more than a minute, there’s nothing new about sexual harassment. Women (and to a lesser degree, men) have been experiencing it for as long as there have been workplaces.
Nor has its existence been a great secret. Journalists have documented in great detail the harassment and sometimes violence that women face in the fields, on factory production lines, as well as in political campaigns and corporate boardrooms. Hollywood has used sexual harassment as a central plot in films such as “North Country,” which is based on a true story, and the comedy “Horrible Bosses,” which we sincerely hope is not.
But pervasive sexual harassment, and the toll taken on those who are victimized by it, didn’t receive the nationwide outpouring of outrage it deserved until this year, when it became a problem of the rich, famous and successful. It took dozens of A-list actresses and internationally known models coming forward to accuse producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct to spark the backlash that became the #Metoo movement.
If there’s to be a second act to this cultural movement — and we hope there will be — it should focus on the plight of lower-wage workers.
So far, the headlines have mostly been attached to the stories of women in the high-profile fields of entertainment, media, tech and politics who have alleged various forms of sexual misconduct by powerful and often well-known men. Missing have been the stories of the hotel maids, farmworkers, restaurant servers and others whose economic need and relative powerlessness has often left them without recourse. Sixty percent of women say they’ve experienced sexual harassment, according to one poll, and their stories should be heard even if they are only calling out Joe the factory foreman and not Joe the studio chief.
If there’s to be a second act to this cultural movement — and we hope there will be — it should focus on the plight of lower-wage workers in industries where sexual harassment is also rampant, but where victims have fewer resources than the average movie star. Many of these women are immigrants or women of color, with little protection from retaliation if they complain.
Although it’s hard to know exactly how many women in factories, fields and fast-food restaurants experience sexual harassment, there’s evidence to suggest it may be rampant. When Human Rights Watch interviewed farmworkers for a 2012 report on sexual violence in the fields, for instance, nearly all said they had either experienced sexual harassment or personally knew someone who had. Another survey two years earlier of 150 female Central Valley farmworkers found that 80% said they had been harassed.
Hospitality and food services jobs are rife with sexual harassment as well; this industry files more sexual harassment complaints than any other, according to an analysis of a decade’s worth of data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by the Center for American Progress. Complaints from retail and manufacturing jobs come second and third respectively.
This jibes with what a Chicago local of the Unite Here union found when it surveyed female members employed in that city’s hotels and casinos. Of 500 respondents, 58% said they had experienced some form of sexual harassment, from sexual propositions to groping, in most cases from male guests. More than three-fourths of the casino workers reported that they had experienced some sexual harassment. The most frequently reported form of harassment experienced by hotel housekeepers was indecent exposure by guests.
The risk for women working alone in hotel rooms has driven labor unions to push to outfit housekeepers with “panic buttons” that connect directly with the front desk. This began in New York City after the former head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, allegedly assaulted a hotel maid. Panic buttons are just one example of a concrete response to sexual harassment (and lamentably, it again took a high-profile case to spur action on this deep-rooted work hazard.) Since then, other cities have either adopted ordinances requiring panic buttons or are considering them. Part of this next phase will require exploring new policies, procedures and laws to address the unique sexual harassment challenges in various industries.
But the first step is easier: Widen the spotlight so it includes misbehavior among the poor and powerless as well as the rich, famous and privileged.

10After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, "The Holy Spirit says, 'In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.' "
12When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13Then Paul answered, "Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." 14When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, "The Lord's will be done."

When navigating a spatially immersive environment like a game, sound can be used to get anapproximate direction and distance of objects, like targets headed for the player. Game sounddesigners can use this knowledge to create interactions. However, processing sound mightalso interfere with players’ abilities to track targets. By reducing the dynamic range of soundswith compression it might change how players interact in games. Whether the ability to trackseveral targets is affected by compression of sounds was investigated with an interactivelistening test where participants were asked to track objects in a game like environment. Thisgame environment was developed through a set of pre-studies that investigated tracking tasksin games and in vision experiments, as well as sound design. The study developed a methodthat is ecologically valid for games and also utilizes prior research in tracking. In the mainexperiment, Subjects tracked four targets among eight objects in four tracking scenarios. Thetracking scenarios were divided into two different conditions, one with compressed soundsand one with uncompressed sounds. Subjects abilities to correctly identify targets in eachcondition were statistically analyzed with a two-paired t-test. The results showed the ability totrack several targets was better in the condition with sounds compressed and the results werestatistically significant.

Two weeks after angry shareholders said the TV and online shopping service should be put up for sale, ShopNBC is on the block.
ShopNBC's board has appointed a special committee of independent directors to review strategic alternatives aimed at maximizing shareholder value.
Minneapolis-based Piper Jaffray & Co. has been retained by the special committee to serve as its financial advisor. The committee will consist of two current directors -- former Amgen Inc. executive George Vandeman, who will serve as chairman, and former Opus Corp. executive Robert Korkowski -- and an yet to be named third person will also join the board of directors.
The announcement came two weeks after shareholders during a conference call discussing disappointing second-quarter results pushed for the sale of the company.
ShopNBC's parent company, Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Value Vision Media Inc., is controlled by NBC Universal.
"There can be no assurance that the review process will result in the announcement or consummation of any sale or other transaction," the company said in a statement.

We were ambitious and had each other, which in residential resale is a huge advantage, because the emotional toll is heavy. In most businesses, the focus is on the numbers. But when you are selling homes, it is all about emotion. It doesn’t matter whether people are buying a home or selling a home (and they are sometimes doing both at the same time), it is usually the biggest financial transaction of their life; they don’t do it every day, and their home is an intensely personal possession. Folks get angry; they cry; they experience everything from fear to elation; and through it all, they rely greatly on their real estate agent, who may or may not be up to the task. This was where JoAnn and I did well. We quickly became each other’s rock. Whatever the client’s emotional overflow, we were able to accept it and keep each other sane.
Where we were was Scottsdale, Arizona. What we were doing was selling real estate. How we were doing it was with a lot of drive and ambition, shored up by our ability to lean on each other. But when JoAnn said all that mattered was keeping the client, we had to change something. We had to set aside our personal situation and forget about the money. We had to tell the Browns and the Smiths what we really thought. We had to think about what was best for them.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!! New Futurama on March 10th, "A Pharoah to Remember." Here's what Tv Guide.com had to say.
A planet with an ancient-Egyptian influence makes slave labor of Leela, Fry and Bender, who turns on his pals when he gains some power.
Sounds good. How bout you?
Yeah, i like how that sounds, i think it will be a very good episode.
oh, well, we will all just have to wait and see.
Great, that’s an episode I particularly wanted to see because there aren’t enough episodes these days where they visit other planets and stay there throughout the duration of the episode. It sounds very promising and it’s one of the remaining Season 3 episodes that I most want to see that hasn’t aired yet along with “The Route of All Evil”. It’s about time they caught up with some of their backlog of Season 3 episodes and I’m glad they are showing this episode this year instead of me having to wait until next year to find out about the planet modelled on Egypt.
I doubt they will have another "a ...... to remember", "A Flight to Remember" is titled after the film "A Night to Remember" which was about The Titanic disaster.
Amy's boyfriend Kif tries to impress her parents by going after those who rustled away their livestock (“buggalo”) on Mars. Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Billy West.
I'm looking foward to "a pharoah to remember" it sounds like the kinda episode i would like.
According to TVGuide.com, this Thursday we'll be getting "Put Your Head On My Shoulder," then "Bugaloo" on Sunday, but next Sunday they have "The Problem With Popplers" scheduled.
Of course, FOX might've switched out "Popplers" in favor of "Pharoah." But this should put to rest any doubt that FOX is deliberately killing the show; they cry about a backlog of episodes, but they've scheduled two reruns over the next three weeks, and had two pointless pre-empts in the past three weeks--including tonight's "King of the Hill" pre-empt.
HawkI (Maudlin mode): "This isn't a war...it's a murder."
"Heed your own advice once in a while and you won't come over as such an arrogant pr*ck."
Reasons? Ok: Matt Groening owns Futurama more than the Simpsons. They didn't want another network getting the series and kill off their shows (so they buy the show and kill it). They don't get tons of money from merchandise like they do with the simpsons. They don't understand the humor. They stick it in bad timeslots because it does ok compared to most of their shows in the bad timeslots. They blew all their money on buying the rights to various sporting events. They waisted money on terrible movies that flopped hard this year. Fox execs don't like Matt. Animation is more expensive than Glutton Bowl or Cops. They use faulty logic. Guenter runs fox.
Mix and match... pick the ones you like.
Originally posted by BrainSluggo:but next Sunday they have "The Problem With Popplers" scheduled.
I was all excited and now you ruined it, I guess it's not your fault though. Does anyone know 100% which episode will air?
Cool, I'm looking forward to "Where the Buggalo Roam". It's about time the followed up on the Amy/Kif thing. Gonna be neat to see.
But I was hoping for "A Leela of Her Own" for march 10th. Ah well, maybe next week.
Teehee. He turns them on.
Okay, I was thrown off by the added Thursday slot. (Sorry.) The Thursday extras would be good news--a sign that FOX wants to do away with the "backlog" they created--except for the fact, of course, it's all reruns.
Why are mutants consigned to the sewers, while FOXecutives are allowed to run around loose?
At first I was a little worried that Futurama has been delayed for two weeks. I knew that "Where The Buggalo Roam" was supposed to come before 3/10.
What region shows Futurama twice a week? I thought showing extra re-runs within the week was a production no-no, as it is not syndicated.
What region shows Futurama twice a week?
The region I'm in U.S of A!
The Simpsons has done this in the past, usually as "on a special night" type showings. They've done this for Survivor and other shows as well.
If they have this extra Thursday slot now, why oh WHY are they wasting it by showing re-runs!?
The fact that it's going up against the second-highest rated program on TV (C.S.I.) might have something to do with it. I know all of us would watch Futurama, but the Fox bigwigs won't put on new eps against that kind of competition.
Hey, I need re-runs to finish my guide pages for Season 2! Plus, I haven't seen them in 2-3 years! Re-runs are holy to me.
Oh well. The Simpsons have had like 20 episodes named after The Old Man and the Sea.

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.

Wild Bob doesn't do all-night writing sessions. He doesn't rush into a studio to record an album within a week or less. Bob collects gems for his albums, and sometimes it takes a while to get it all together. If you can call 3 years "a while", LOL. All tracks on this brand new album were written and/or (re)arranged and recorded in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Now we write January 2006 and here it is: Bob's new jewel collection!
Some songs might sound familiar for the longtime fans, because Bob rearranged some of his old classics, which he recorded with Shotgun earlier. "Ridin' White Horses", "Son Of A Gun" and "Rockabilly Queen" can therefor also be found on the Shotgun album "Viking Rock". BUT these are all new recordings, and Bob does all the vocals himself this time.
The title song "A Lifetime Of Rockin'" was released on a compilation EP on Crown Fire Records as a sneek preview last year, and it has been the opening theme for Bob's website for a few months now. The title of the song tells you everything about Bob. He was born a rocker, and stayed true to his stomping mix of Rhythm & Blues and Rock 'n' Roll all his life.
The raving "Runnin' Wild" will get every rocker on his feet, recorded with a thumping slap bass, hard knocking piano and screeching guitars, this is one song you can add to the long list of Wild Bob Burgos classics. When the dark whiskey flavoured vocals on "It's Meant To Be" are joined by Jesper Jonsson's bass lines, a new blues stomper duckwalks through the living room. Turn up the bass & the volume, and enjoy!
You'll find two versions of "Trust In Me" on this CD, the first being a studio recording, raw and rocking, and the second one is a slow bluesy live version with the fabulous Big Joe Whincup on blues harp. Both are excellent songs on their own accord, and they are hardly the same (apart from the lyrics).
And then comes "Loonabilly Rock 'n' Roll", Bob screams "This one's for you David, Screamin' Lord Sutch, we shall never forget you". In 1999, approaching sixty, lonely, exhausted and depressed, still grinding the motorways to do gigs, his private life in confusion, David Sutch died by his own hand. This is Bob's homage to one of the greatest British Rock 'n' Roll artists.
"Gift Of The Gab" is a rockabilly rocker with the distinctive bass sounds of Shotgun's own Rob "Apeman" Murly, another new rocker for the dancehalls... And then there was blues! The last three tracks are dedicated to the blues, Bob Burgos style of course. The opening B.B. King style guitar licks of "Blue Boy Blues" set the hairs in my neck straight up immediatly, and when Bob's hard hitting drums set in, it's all rock 'n' roll again, but with great harmonica breaks by Big Joe Whincup.
Next is the afore mentioned "Trust In Me", and the closer of the album is "Got The Blues (But I'm Rockin')", another fantastic blues stomper very much in the same style as "Blue Boy Blues". This album fell on my doormat just yesterday morning, and this must be about the 7th time I'm playing it, I just can't get enough. And that's what Bob and I have in common: A LIFETIME OF ROCKIN'!! I think I'll just play "Blue Boy Blues" again, what a perfect hybrid of blues and rock 'n' roll. Respect!!
