My (Long) Take on the ECJ's AG Opinion in the Google Adwords CasesOctober 2nd, 2009
In its long awaited opinion in the French Google Adword cases about trade mark infringement of keyword advertising, the European Court of Justice's Advocate General, the young Miguel Poiares Maduro, has concluded that the sale and use of keywords to trigger sponsored search results does not constitute infringement. In addition, the AG has tried to clarify the scope of intermediary liability regime from the Directive on Electronic Commerce as regards keyword advertising, hyperlinks and search engines, differentiating between third party liability for sponsored and natural results. There are several more cases about keyword advertising awaiting treatment by the ECJ. Hence, this opinion is the first in a series.
What is at stake?
The AG starts by rephrasing the questions as referred to the Court by the French Cour de Cassation as a larger question relating to the ability of end-users to use search engines to find information online:
5. The answer [to the questions before the Court] will determine the extent to which keywords corresponding to trade marks can be used outside the control of the proprietors of the trade marks. To put it differently: when you enter a keyword which corresponds to a trade mark, what can be given and what can you find in cyberspace?
This perspective – how much control should trademark law provide to the proprietors of trademarks to control communication more generally – remains dominant in the AG's treatment of the legal issues involved in the three cases. The AG's concern about the general communicative ecosystem, his critical discussion of the possible justification for trade mark protection to include keyword advertising or a contributory infringement doctrine, and most importantly the negative consequences for freedom of expression and freedom of commerce of extending protection come as a welcome surprise to me.
The line of reasoning with regard to trademark law
To structure his analysis, the AG discerns two uses of keywords by Google which correspond to trade marks in the Google Adwords system. The first is allowing advertisers to select keywords (Use 1). The second is displaying the resulting ads alongside the natural results (Use 2). For both uses, the AG addresses whether they fulfill the additional cumulative criteria for trademark infringement under Article 5(1) of Directive 89/104, which are:
i) that use takes place in the course of trade;
(ii) it relates to goods or services which are identical or similar to those covered by the trade marks; and
(iii) it affects or is liable to affect the essential function of the trade mark – which is to guarantee to consumers the origin of the goods or services – by reason of a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public.
The AG concludes that Use 1 does not fulfill criteria ii, which requires "that a sign corresponding to a trade mark is used 'in such a way that a link is established between the sign … and the goods marketed or the services provided'". According to the AG, such a link is not established when Google is offering advertisers the possibility to select keywords:
In the traditional example of a use in advertising, the link is established between the trade mark and the good or service sold to the general public. This happens, for example, when the advertiser sells a good under the trade mark. That is not the case with the use by Google consisting in allowing advertisers to select keywords so that their ads are presented as results. There is no good or service sold to the general public. The use is limited to a selection procedure which is internal to AdWords and concerns only Google and the advertisers.
After this conclusion, the opinion discusses Use 2 of the trademark. In short, the AG concludes that Use 2 does not constitute trade mark infringement either, since it only satisfies criteria i and ii, but not criteria iii. There is a lack of likelihood of confusion on the part of the public. Interestingly, the AG pays particular attention to the consequences of concluding otherwise. He states that it would be difficult to make a legal distinction under the Court's case law between the use of keywords to trigger advertisements and the use of keywords to trigger natural results. This would mean that the use of trademarks to trigger natural search results would amount to trademark infringement as well. Poaires Maduro's analysis shows he has thought carefully about Google's search engine and the distinction between sponsored and natural results. This is a distinction which I have also argued to be limited and more complex than in editorial media like newspapers. The AG's point is that the distinction is not one of whether or not there is exposure, but in the degree of exposure:
72. [..] by associating ads with certain keywords through AdWords, Google provides the advertisers' sites with added exposure. However, it should be remembered that such sites, even the counterfeit ones, could feature among the natural results of the same keywords (depending on their relevance as detected by the search engine's automatic algorithms). It should also be remembered that ads and natural results have very similar characteristics: a short message and a link. Accordingly, the difference between ads and natural results lies not so much in whether or not ads provide exposure, but more in the degree of such exposure. [...]
Only after these initial considerations, addressed to the Court, the opinion deals with the fulfillment of criteria i-iii, in which he also addresses the use of keywords to trigger natural results. Criteria i and ii are satisfied for both sponsored and natural results (par. 75-81). But, criteria iii is not, as there is no likelihood of confusion. Of course, such confusion may be present because of a specific use of the trademark by the advertiser. The question the AG had to answer, however, was whether the use of keywords corresponding to a trademark would constitute infringement per se (par. 83). The AG argues that such confusion would only be present if users would assume that all the sponsored results presented in return to a search with a keyword corresponding to a trademark, originate from the same or economically linked undertakings as the trademark proprietor. In his conclusion that this is not the case, the AG relies on the search experience, which included the assessment of natural and sponsored results, as a whole. In particular, he uses the argument that searching in a Web search engine is what I would call a polluted process anyway. End-users continuously have to deal with results they might not have had expected.
86. By comparing ads with natural results, the parties assume that natural results are a proxy for 'true' results – that is to say, that they originate from the trade mark proprietors themselves. But they do not. Like the ads displayed, natural results are just information that Google, on the basis of certain criteria, displays in response to the keywords. Many of the sites displayed do not in fact correspond to the sites of the trade mark proprietors.
87. The parties are influenced by the belief to which I referred at the outset – that if an internet user seeks something in Google's search engine, the internet user will find it. However, that is not a blind belief; internet users are aware that they will have to sift through the natural results of their searches, which often reach large numbers. They may expect that some of those natural results will correspond to the site of the trade mark proprietor (or an economically linked undertaking), but they will certainly not believe this of all natural results. Moreover, sometimes they may not even be looking for the site of the trade mark proprietor, but for other sites related to the goods or services sold under the trade mark: for example, they might not be interested in purchasing the trade mark proprietor's goods but only in having access to sites reviewing those goods.
88. Google's search engine provides help in sifting through natural results by ranking them according to their relevance to the keywords used. There may be an expectation on the part of internet users, based on their assessment of the quality of Google's search engine, that the more relevant results will include the site of the trade mark proprietor or whatever site they are looking for. However, this is nothing more than an expectation. Confirmation only comes when the site's link appears, its description is read, and the link is clicked on. Often the expectation will be disappointed, and internet users will go back and try out the next relevant result.
89. Google's search engine is no more than a tool: the link that it establishes between keywords corresponding to trade marks and natural results, even the more relevant sites, is not enough to lead to confusion. Internet users only decide on the origin of the goods or services offered on the sites by reading their description and, ultimately, by leaving Google and entering those sites.
90. Internet users process ads in the same way as they process natural results. By using AdWords, advertisers are in fact attempting to make their ads benefit from the same expectation of being relevant to the search – that is why they are displayed alongside the more relevant natural results. However, even assuming that the internet users are searching for the site of the trade mark proprietor, there is no risk of confusion if they are also presented with ads.
91. As with natural results, internet users will only make an assessment as to the origin of the goods or services advertised on the basis of the content of the ad and by visiting the advertised sites; no assessment will be based solely on the fact that the ads are displayed in response to keywords corresponding to trade marks. The risk of confusion lies in the ad and in the advertised sites, but, as has already been pointed out, the Court is not being asked about such uses by third parties: it is being asked only about the use by Google of keywords which correspond to trade marks.
92. It must be concluded, therefore, that neither the display of ads nor the display of natural results in response to keywords which correspond to trade marks leads to a risk of confusion as to the origin of goods and services. Accordingly, neither AdWords nor Google's search engine affects or is in danger of affecting the essential function of the trade mark.
Additional functions of the trade mark restricted by freedom of expression and freedom of commerce
This still leaves additional functions of the trade mark unaddressed, such as the reputational function of well-known brands, which others can harm or take unfair advantage of. Notably, this type of protection does not depend on a risk of confusion of the public, and is therefore independent of the essential function of trademarks (par. 94). The Court has stated that such other functions of the trade mark "include guaranteeing the quality of goods or services and those of communication, investment or advertising; it has also stated that such functions are not limited to trade marks which have a reputation but apply in the case of all trade marks." The AG continues by arguing that these functions of the trade mark, which he places on a sliding scale, are linked to the promotion of innovation and investment.
After having made a short overview of the justification of the protection of other functions of the trade mark, the AG places these interests against other interests involved in the Google Adwords cases. The AG argues that these interests need to be balanced against freedom of expression and freedom of commerce. In other words, the AG construes the protection of trade marks as an interference with freedom of expression and freedom of commerce. The AG concludes that in the search engine and keyword advertising context, freedom of expression and freedom of commerce trump the interests of trade mark proprietors to control the use of their trade marks as keywords in the absence of confusion.
103. Those freedoms are particularly important in this context because the promotion of innovation and investment also requires competition and open access to ideas, words and signs. That promotion is always the product of a balance that has been struck between incentives, in the form of private goods given to those who innovate and invest, and the public character of the goods necessary to support and sustain the innovation and investment. That balance is at the heart of trade mark protection. Accordingly, despite being linked to the interests of the trade mark proprietor, trade mark rights cannot be construed as classic property rights enabling the trade mark proprietor to exclude any other use. The transformation of certain expressions and signs – inherently public goods – into private goods is a product of the law and is limited to the legitimate interests that the law deems worthy of protection. It is for this reason that only certain uses may be prevented by the trade mark proprietor, while many others must be accepted.
After giving two such examples where use of trade marks must be accepted because of freedom of commerce and freedom of expression (comparative advertising and use for descriptive purposes), the AG addresses
[t]he question [..] whether freedom of expression and freedom of commerce should also take precedence over the interests of the trade mark proprietors in the context of Google's uses of keywords which correspond to trade marks. Those uses are not purely descriptive; nor do they constitute comparative advertising. However, in a manner comparable to such situations, AdWords creates a link to the trade mark for consumers to obtain information that does not involve a risk of confusion. It does so both indirectly, when it allows the selection of keywords, and directly, when it displays ads.
107. Google's uses of keywords which correspond to trade marks are independent of the use of the trade mark in the ads displayed and on the sites advertised in AdWords; they are limited to conveying that information to the consumer. Google does so in a manner which can be said to intrude even less on the interests of the trade mark proprietors than purely descriptive uses or comparative advertising. As I shall develop shortly, that point emerges more clearly if one reflects how absurd it would be to allow sites to use a trade mark for purely descriptive uses or comparative advertising, but not to allow Google to display a link to those sites. I believe, therefore, that the same principle should apply: given the lack of any risk of confusion, trade mark proprietors have no general right to prevent those uses.
108. I am concerned that, if trade mark proprietors were to be allowed to prevent those uses on the basis of trade mark protection, they would establish an absolute right of control over the use of their trade marks as keywords. Such an absolute right of control would cover, de facto, whatever could be shown and said in cyberspace with respect to the good or service associated with the trade mark.
109. It is true that, in the present cases, the trade mark proprietors limit their claims to Google's uses in AdWords. Nevertheless, once the notion of 'confusion' between ads and natural results is dispelled, this becomes a matter of perspective. Trade mark proprietors may also try to prevent the display of natural results alongside ads. The right of control that they claim covers all the results of keywords corresponding to their trade marks.
110. That absolute right of control would not take into account the particular nature of the internet and the role of keywords in it. The internet operates without any central control, and that is perhaps the key to its growth and success: it depends on what is freely inputted into it by its different users. (57) Keywords are one of the instruments – if not the main instrument – by means of which this information is organised and made accessible to internet users. Keywords are therefore, in themselves, content-neutral: they enable internet users to reach sites associated with such words. Many of these sites will be perfectly legitimate and lawful even if they are not the sites of the trade mark proprietor.
111. Accordingly, the access of internet users to information concerning the trade mark should not be limited to or by the trade mark proprietor. This statement does not apply only to search engines such as Google's; by claiming the right to exert control over keywords which correspond to trade marks in advertising systems such as AdWords, trade mark proprietors could de facto prevent internet users from viewing other parties' ads for perfectly legitimate activities related to the trade marks. That would, for instance, affect sites dedicated to product reviews, price comparisons or sales of second-hand goods.
112. It should be remembered that those activities are legitimate precisely because trade mark proprietors do not have an absolute right of control over the use of their trade marks. The Court played a determining role in establishing this, by holding that the interests of trade mark proprietors were not sufficient to prevent consumers from benefiting from a competitive internal market. It would be paradoxical if the Court were now to curtail the possibility for consumers to have access to those benefits, as internet users, via the use of keywords.
113. It should therefore be concluded that the uses by Google, in AdWords, of keywords which correspond to trade marks do not affect the other functions of the trade mark, namely guaranteeing the quality of the goods or services or those of communication, investment or advertising. Trade marks which have a reputation are entitled to special protection because of those functions but, even so, such functions should not be considered to be affected. Thus, the uses by Google may not be prevented even if they involve trade marks which have a reputation.
Contributory infringement, third part liability and the absence of a safe harbour
In the remainder of the opinion, the AG discusses the responsibility of Google for trademark infringements taking place in the context of the Adwords system. The AG explains that the plaintiffs are arguing for a contributory infringement standard under European trade mark rules, by claiming that the possible (and in fact realistic) third party infringements in the context of the Adwords system. He asserts that this standard is foreign to most European countries and should be discarded. Instead, third party infringements should be dealt with through general liability rules. He gives one additional argument against a contributory liability standard, based on its possible chilling effects:
121. The claims of the trade mark proprietors would create serious obstacles to any system for the delivery of information. Anyone creating or managing such a system would have to cripple it from the start in order to eliminate the mere possibility of infringements by third parties; as a result, they would tend towards overprotection in order to reduce the risk of liability or even of costly litigation.
122. How many words would Google have to block from AdWords in order to be sure that no trade mark was infringed? And, if the use of keywords can contribute to trade mark infringements, how far would Google be from having to block those words from its search engine? It is no exaggeration to say that, if Google were to be placed under such an unrestricted obligation, the nature of the internet and search engines as we know it would change.
123. That does not mean that the concerns of the trade mark proprietors cannot be addressed, only that they should be addressed outside the scope of trade mark protection. Liability rules are more appropriate, since they do not fundamentally change the decentralised nature of the internet by giving trade mark proprietors general – and virtually absolute – control over the use in cyberspace of keywords which correspond to their trade marks. Instead of being able to prevent, through trade mark protection, any possible use – including, as has been observed, many lawful and even desirable uses – trade mark proprietors would have to point to specific instances giving rise to Google's liability in the context of illegal damage to their trade marks. They would need to meet the conditions for liability which, in this area, fall to be determined under national law.
124. It is in the context of possible liability that particular aspects of Google's role – such as the procedure under which it allows advertisers to select keywords under AdWords – could be taken into account. For example, Google provides advertisers with optional information which can help them to maximise the exposure of their ads. As some of the parties have pointed out, it may be that information on keywords which correspond to trade marks will also yield (as related keywords) information on expressions denoting counterfeit. On the basis of that information, advertisers may decide to select those expressions as keywords in order to attract internet users. It is possible that, in so acting, Google may be contributing to internet users being directed to counterfeit sites.
125. In such a situation, Google may incur liability for contributing to a trade mark infringement. Even though an automated process is involved, there is nothing to prevent Google from making limited exclusions from the information which it provides to advertisers regarding associations with expressions clearly denoting counterfeit. The conditions under which Google might be liable are, however, a matter to be decided under national law. They are not covered by Directive 89/104 or Regulation No 40/94 and, accordingly, fall outside the scope of the present cases.
Unfortunately, current search engine liability and intermediary liability standards more generally, could easily be equally chilling as the contributory liability standard the AG rejects. The safe harbour system for intermediaries in the EU, as introduced by the Directive on Electronic Commerce, was crippled from the start, as I have argued in 'Legal space for innovative ordering'. And there is no reason to believe that the wide variety and unclear scope of third party liability standards for search engines throughout the European Union would provide a robust protection against the risks as identified above under par. 121-22.
Does the hosting safe harbour protect Google?
In the next section of the opinion, the AG addresses the question whether Google can assert protection under the safe harbours for third party liability, more specifically Article 14 of the Directive on Electronic Commerce. This is the first time the European Court of Justice will have to address the scope of these safe harbours. The first question is whether the activities of Google in the context of AdWords fall under the scope of the Directive, i.e. is Adwords to be considered an information society service. The second question is whether these activities fall under the scope of one of the intermediary liability provisions.
The AG concludes rightly, that the first question should be answered in the affirmative. It is unclear to me, why the Advocat General discusses Article 21 of the Directive in this context. Article 21.2 puts the European Commission under an obligation (which it unfortunately refused to fulfill for the last 5 years) to analyse "the need for proposals concerning the liability of providers of hyperlinks and location tool services". As everyone that took a close look at the legislative history of the safe harbours in the Directive should know, Article 12, 13 and 14 provide safe harbours for mere conduit, caching (by ISPs), and hosting activities respectively. The lack of safe harbours for other types of activities, and the limited language of Article 14 has led some national courts to extend the safe harbours, but the directive is really limited to quite traditional ISP activity. The directive left open the possibility for member states to adopt additional safe harbours, such as for search engines. In fact, this is what some countries have explicitly decided to do (for instance Austria and Spain), and others have explicitly refused to do (Germany), others have consulted the industry and public about (United Kingdom), and some have ignored altogether (The Netherlands). In some member states, a safe harbour for search engines is basically read into general tort law principles for third party liability (The Netherlands), in line with case law about ISP liability in the 90s predating the safe harbours.
The AG ignores this legal and legislative reality and decides to come up with his own analysis. With reference to the wording of Article 14 – "AdWords features certain content – namely the text of ads and their links – which is both provided by the recipients of the service (the advertisers) and stored at their request", he concludes that the conditions for hosting, as defined in Article 14 of Directive 2000/31, are nominally fulfilled. Notably, he misses half of the question, since third party liability for a service like Adwords, does not only relate to illegal third party content in the references itself, but also illegal third party in the websites the references link to.
When reaching the point about the 'nature' of the activities which are covered by the hosting safe harbour, the AG seems to disagree with the argument that hosting activities need to be of a purely technical nature to be covered. But the AdWords system stands out, in the view of the AG, because it is not 'neutral' enough.
142. To my mind, the aim of Directive 2000/31 is to create a free and open public domain on the internet. It seeks to do so by limiting the liability of those which transmit or store information, under its Articles 12 to 14, to instances where they were aware of an illegality. (71)
143. Key to that aim is Article 15 of Directive 2000/31, which prevents Member States from imposing on information society service providers an obligation to monitor the information carried or hosted, or actively to verify its legality. I construe Article 15 of that directive not merely as imposing a negative obligation on Member States, but as the very expression of the principle that service providers which seek to benefit from a liability exemption should remain neutral as regards the information they carry or host.
Maybe this is the classical trap of intermediary liability standards. If neutrality of intermediaries is a prerequisite for enjoyment for distributor liability, those intermediaries will not be able to provide social benefits that require them to make 'non-neutral' / active choices. The fact that a book store or library should not be held liable in the absence of knowledge about the availability of illegal material, does not imply that it should not try to have a collection of valuable books on offer.
The AG makes another side-step, when he makes a difference between the natural and the sponsored results when it comes to the neutrality of their selection. Similarly to the analysis with regard to trade mark infringement, the AG seems preoccupied with the idea that natural results would not be protected by the safe harbour if he would conclude that the Adwords system for sponsored references would not be covered by the safe harbour. The best I can make of his argument, is that there is room to include natural search results under a similar regime as Article 14 and Article 15 of the Directive. Whereas the AG put his faith in national third party liability rules a number of paragraphs before, he now seems to think those liability rules would be insufficient.
Its natural results are a product of automatic algorithms that apply objective criteria in order to generate sites likely to be of interest to the internet user. The presentation of those sites and the order in which they are ranked depends on their relevance to the keywords entered, and not on Google's interest in or relationship with any particular site. Admittedly, Google has an interest – even a pecuniary interest – in displaying the more relevant sites to the internet user; however, it does not have an interest in bringing any specific site to the internet user's attention.
The assertion that Google can make a determination of the relevance of websites and remain 'neutral' at the same time strikes me as utterly unconvincing. It doesn't help that the notions of 'relevance' of websites and the 'interest' in giving specific prominence to websites are not being defined. Google chooses to use certain ranking algorithms because it believes they end up delivering the 'best' results. There is no agreement what means 'best'. Google adds value (and lowers value, depending on the perspective you take), by making value-based judgments about the use of their algorithms and other decisions about their search results. And if one takes a closer look, there are all sorts of sites that Google has a direct or indirect economic interest to rank higher or lower (YouTube, AdSense network, Adwords clients, etc, etc…). The AG ignores this point completely. Returning to Adwords, he concludes that Google is not neutral enough in this context:
145. That is not the position as regards the content featured in AdWords. Google's display of ads stems from its relationship with the advertisers. As a consequence, AdWords is no longer a neutral information vehicle: Google has a direct interest in internet users clicking on the ads' links (as opposed to the natural results presented by the search engine).
This simply implies that third party liability for sponsored referencing systems like Adwords is governed by national law, which was the right answer in the first place, both for natural and sponsored results. The new European Commission will have to evaluate the situation of search engine liability (its evaluation is planned for 2009 and long overdue). Whether they will be able to clean up the ever growing mess of European intermediary liability remains to be seen. The (partly) European harmonisation of national general liability laws, which it would basically amount to, is an extremely ambitious project.
My conclusion
I find the AG's analysis of the questions about trade mark infringement quite thoughtful and freedom of expression and freedom of commerce are rightly brought into play to prevent complete control of keyword based referencing and advertising tools by trade mark proprietors. But the result of the AG's conclusion, if followed by the Court, implies that national courts will fall back on national provisions for third party liability, which are maybe not as chilling for freedom of expression and freedom of commerce but can hardly be argued not to remove incentives for internationally operating search engines to be very responsive towards requests of removal of references by trade mark proprietors.
The AG's opinion about the scope of intermediary liability in the Directive of Electronic Commerce is confusing. The European regime of safe harbours was incomplete from the start. There are many good arguments to extend the safe harbours to information location tools and other intermediaries at the European level. Neutrality as the AG seems to understand it, however, should not be the overriding factor in making that choice, since it creates disincentives for intermediaries to add value through active governance of their platform.

Archive for the 'Exide Battery' tag
Going electric in the age of cheap gas: the McKee-built Sundancer
Of the many unusual and innovative vehicles on display at the first Symposium on Low Pollution Power Systems Development in 1973 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it appeared that just three were functional enough to provide rides around the parking lot for the besuited attendees. While two of those three came from General Motors, the third, the Exide Battery Sundancer, came from a former race wrench who built some of the most powerful American cars to compete in professional racing and had by then already been profiled in the February 1972 issue of Mechanix Illustrated.
Though the article states that Bob McKee's Sundancer (here called the McKee Mark 16 Electric Commuter) came about when the business of building endurance race cars – including the Howmet TX and the 3,983,952), the backbone design results in a low center of gravity as well as a low profile for reduced wind resistance, the latter important for extending the range of the car. And by loading the batteries onto a slide-out tray, maintenance is made simple and drained batteries can then be easily swapped out for freshly charged batteries.As McKee argued in his 1972 patent application for the design of the car (
As for the car itself, McKee applied for a design patent (D224,649) on the shape of the car in 1970, simplifying it and reducing its weight by eliminating the doors and going with a two-piece fiberglass body designed by Michael Williams. The chassis uses four-wheel independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a steering wheel that swings out of the way to facilitate getting in and out of the car. According to the MI article, the 72hp 8hp electric motor came from Tork-Link in Culver City, California, and drove the wheels through a belt-and-pulley system with an infinite array of gear ratios, similar to DAF's CVT. (The belt-and-pulley system was only used on one of the three cars McKee built; the other two used a conventional two-speed transmission.) The McKee was good for a 100-mile range at 30 MPH and a 62 MPH top speed. McCahill deemed it the world's first practical electric car, though, in his old age, he must've forgotten the Baker Electric, Detroit Electric, and the host of other electric cars that once provided everyday transportation.
McKee said he built three Sundancers, two for Exide and one for himself – the car featured in the Mechanix Illustrated article above. Exide took the cars up to Chrysler and let the Chrysler engineering staff crawl all over them, but with gas so cheap then, neither Chrysler nor any other major manufacturer showed any serious interest in the car. Ray Caldwell of Autodynamics did purchase one of the Sundancers with intentions to produce the car, but nothing ever came of that. McKee said one of the cars ended up being donated to Princeton, and he believes one still exists in Florida.
McKee Engineering ended up building about 20 different electric cars over the years, including the backbone-chassis 1978 Endura, built for Globe-Union Battery, and an electric Hyundai Sonata. In the early 1990s, he even worked with Chrysler on developing an electric minivan, work which placed his name on a couple more patents. Though he's no longer involved in building electric cars today, McKee said he keeps busy at his Chicagoland shop building hot rods and restoring his old race cars.

Comments about Q Parts Mini-Dome Knob Single:
While from a very far distance away the over look is not that bad. The problem is if you ordered more than one for your instrument they may or may not match. My order was black with mother of pearl. The paint on the two knobs I had ordered were different in color. One was a matte black while the other was a glossy almost "titanium" look. Either one would work but to be so different in the same order is a shame. But you get what you pay for I guess?
Comments about Q Parts Mini-Dome Knob Single:
If you got a tremolo bridge and want a set of smaller knobs for any type of guitar, then you should buy these. They look great, feel great, each one comes with an allen wrench which is also good for adjusting the height of some saddles. Oh yeah, there is also an adapter ring inside of each knob, so these babies can fit on practically all the pots that you can find.

Somewhat ironically, on the very same day that Part I of our scientific critique of the Big Bang Theory was being printed, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, officially opened the newly refurbished Lovell Radio Telescope, which is located at the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, England. The three-year multi-million dollar upgrade is expected to provide resolution that will exceed even the Hubble Space Telescope. The Lovell telescope—the second largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world—has been probing the depths of space since 1957, trying to provide answers to questions about the Universe in which we live. As might be expected, this refurbishment was unveiled with a great deal of pomp and circumstance.
Not having any princes or Hollywood stars close at hand, we at Apologetics Press therefore have decided to solicit your help in an effort to help us commemorate the "landmark achievement" of the publication of our three-part critique of the Big Bang Theory. We would like to see copies of the May, June, and July issues of Reason & Revelation make their way into the hands of all high school and college students, so that they know the Big Bang Theory has serious and insurmountable problems. The initial research for this series of articles was carried out by Branyon May, one of our summer interns. Since then, it has undergone numerous additions, revisions, and corrections to ensure that we "got it right." And if the responses we received from the reviewers is any indication, we did indeed "get it right."
We realize that for some individuals, the first two articles in this series will be a bit too scientific or a bit too technical for their taste. But we knew that going into the project. We ask that you please bear with us, and understand one of our overall objectives. We wanted to produce a definitive critique of the Big Bang Theory, detailing both scientific and biblical reasons why faithful Christians should not believe in this evolution-based concept. We also wanted to produce a critique of the highest quality—one that high school and college students could give to their teachers and/or professors whenever this topic came up in classroom settings.
It is with a great deal of humility, and yet, what we hope is a justifiable amount of pride, that we unveil the fruits of our collective labors, and ask you to help us "spread the word." We are printing extra copies of each article in this series, and want to get them into the hands of those who are interested and who might need them in the future. We hope you will act as our spokespersons, and tell your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family members about this special issue (and the two that are yet to follow). Feel free to copy the link(s) to the article(s) and send them to those on your e-mail lists, in order to let them know about the existence of this information on our Web site, and the fact that hard copies also are available. [Call us toll free at 800/234-8558 for information on pricing and availability.] The direct link to the article is: http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/22. Thank you, in advance, for helping us commemorate this special series. Stay tuned. More is yet to come—as it always is from the offices of Apologetics Press.

The latest in a series of interviews with artists who have developed a significant body of work engaged (in its process, or in the issues it raises) with technology. See the full list of Artist Profiles here.
Morehshin Allahyari, #dog #dildo #satellite-dish from the series "Dark Matter." Work in progress.
Daniel Rourke: Your ongoing project, Dark Matter, was something of a revelation for me: a collection of objects forbidden or "unwelcome" in Iran, brought together through digital modelling, meshing, and 3D printing. The results are playful and surrealistic, with the same capacity to waken the subconscious as any Dali Lobster-Telephone or Hair-Lamp. For me Dark Matter resonates as subversive not just because the dog-dildo is an affront to conservative sexual values, or because the Barbie-VHS blurs cultural boundaries (a feature of a lot of your work). Rather I was taken by how the objects spoke to the here and now; that perhaps there is something about the collapse of all commodities, forms, and ideas into the digital that promotes blurred perspectives and subversive practices. I wondered whether you saw your work as particular to the digital tools and materials you choose, or are you "just" making use of things that happen to be available to you?

I wish someone would invent unwrapped caramels! I love the taste, hate the effort! But I might make an exception here...And I have to know, is there ever a day when you don't use the crockpot?

There is something about coming home to the smell of food cooking that is even more comforting in fall and winter than any other time.

Hi Stephanie,
Just stumbled upon your blog. I've got four kids and a crockpot which I use occasionally, but which needs to come out of the cupboard more often. I can't wait to peruse your blog for inspiration!

Steph, can you come up with some catchy Crockpot related name for November and start posting daily again?? We miss you when you're gone...

Wetnōz uses stainless because it is extremely durable, resists
corrosion and stands up to many chemicals.
steels are very resistant to rust; however, this does not mean that
they are impervious to it. Stainless steel must be kept clean and free
from contaminants. Frequent cleaning with mild soap and water and a
cotton cloth is required. Sometimes stainless steel products will
develop corrosion or discoloration due to environmental conditions. The
following is a list of common conditions that cause corrosion or
discoloration of stainless steel and should be avoided:
discoloration or corrosion should be removed as soon as possible or
permanent discoloration and/or pitting of the surface could occur.
Usually, the product can be restored to its original condition. Most
discoloration can be removed with a mild cleanser (Ajax or Stainless
Steel Cleaner) and a ScotchBrite pad. The surface should then be
thoroughly rinsed with clear water. With proper maintenance, stainless
steel should maintain its luster and appearance indefinitely.

|Lesson One: Introduction to the Planets
The Solar System
The astrological tradition is thousands of years old, originating from the meticulous observations and careful recordings by the Mesopotamian priest-astrologers of the ever-changing positions of the seven planets visible to the naked eye, both in relation to each other and against the backdrop of the stars and constellations. A 'horoscope' (or time map) is a representation of the positions of the planets as viewed from the earth at a particular time and place on earth. Astrology has always been and remains a geocentric system since, although the Sun is in the centre of the solar system, the earth is nevertheless our home, and it is from the earth that we take our bearings.
Audience: So it was basic observation and record keeping which was the origin of astrology in the first place?
Clare: That's right. Mesopotamia has always been referred to as the birthplace of western civilisation, and it was here that the art, craft and science of western astrology were first forged. Mesopotamia is a largely flat desert land with wide horizons and huge night skies. It is therefore not surprising that the first myths are often celestial stories or that the heavenly bodies were considered to be deities - living powers whose relationship to human beings was both obvious and taken for granted. Now that we no longer look upwards or watch the planets moving through the night skies, we have lost our instinctive connection to these living gods and collectively we have ceased to take astrology seriously. It is sometimes said that the planets have stopped speaking to us because we have stopped listening to them, but if you have ever been in a place far from anywhere and looked up at the night sky, you will have experienced something of the majesty and power of the stars and planets.
As students of astrology, one of our first tasks is to get to know and understand the very basic astronomy and mechanics of the solar system. This is the foundation of our art and of our craft and if you can learn this now, it will stand you in good stead throughout your astrological studies. So let's look at the order of the planets from the Sun. The anatomy of our solar system is not necessarily well understood. But it is extremely important for us, as astrologers, to know, not only because an understanding of the orbit periods of the planets and of their relative speeds is crucial when we come to study the planetary cycles and forecasting techniques, but also because the physical characteristics of the planets tell us a great deal about their astrological meaning.
We see from this diagram that the orbital periods of the planets depends on their distance from the Sun. The first planet out from the Sun is Mercury, which moves very quickly, with an orbital period of only 88 days. Most of the time Mercury is obscured from view since it is either in front of or behind the Sun. When we do see it, it is only for a brief period as it darts round the outside of the Sun, now one side, now the other. Even the astronomy of the planets can tell us something about their astrological personality. Venus has an orbit of 225 days and has always been known as the Morning Star when it rises with the Sun in the east, and as the Evening Star when it sets with the Sun in the west, representing two faces of this great Goddess. Mercury and Venus are known as 'inferior' planets, since their orbits lie inside the orbit of the Earth. Because of this, they appear to accompany the Sun on its annual journey around the birth chart, sometimes ahead of and sometimes lagging behind the Sun, with Mercury never further than 27º and Venus never further than 48º from the Sun.
The Earth's orbit falls outside Venus and, as we know, its apparent orbit around the Sun takes 365.25 days, or a year. The Moon is the Earth's satellite and takes approximately 28-29 days to orbit the Earth. New Moons occur every month (or 'Moonth'), when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, and Full Moons occur every month, when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, as in the diagram above.
Mars is the first 'superior' planet, lying outside the orbit of the Earth, and takes 687 days, or roughly two years, to orbit the Sun. With its red colour, it has always been associated with bloodshed, anger and war, and with its two satellites Phobos and Daimos (meaning 'terror' and 'fear'), it is known as the God of War. With its extremely elliptical orbit, Mars appears to grow in size and power as it advances towards the Earth and is at its closest when the Earth is between the Sun and Mars. It then appears to retreat until it reaches its furthest distance from the Earth, on the other side of the Sun. Known as the god Ares by the Greeks, the Roman month of March (when the Sun is in the sign of Aries) was named after this planet.
Outside the orbit of Mars lies the asteroid belt, a wide belt of rocks, considered by some to be the fragmented remains of an exploded planet. The asteroid belt is an astrologically significant boundary, since it marks the division between the five 'personal' planets - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars - and the two 'social' planets - Jupiter and Saturn. The personal planets describe our individual characteristics, whereas the social planets describe how each of us relates to the wider social and cultural context into which we are born.
Jupiter, with an orbital period of 11.86 years, is the largest planet in the solar system, ten times the size of the earth. With its huge magnetic field, it radiates more energy into space than it receives from the Sun. With its family of Moons, permanent storms, great red spot and axial rotation of about 10 hours, everything about Jupiter is active, turbulent, stormy and larger than life.
Saturn, with an orbital period of 29.46 years, is the second largest planet and its icy, clear ring system makes it one of the most beautiful objects in the solar system. As the furthermost and slowest planet visible to the naked eye, Saturn remains the outer planet in the solar system from the point of view of our senses, and this fact, together with its perfect ring system, has meant that Saturn has always been associated with boundaries and time, and the limitations of our existence. Psychologically, Saturn is related to the development of strong ego boundaries, which keep us safe but which also confine and restrict us.
The 'trapped asteroid' or 'planetoid' Chiron was first discovered in 1977 and remains a misfit in the solar system. Originating from the Kuiper Belt, which lies outside the orbit of Pluto, it is not known how long this visitor to our solar system will remain with us. With an extremely elliptical orbit of 49-51 years, Chiron's astrological function appears to be to link the outer planets with the 'old world' planets, since it fluctuates almost as far from the Sun as Uranus, and yet it passes within the orbital sphere of Saturn. Although Chiron has by no means been universally accepted into astrological lore, I want to include it from the beginning because, as a psychological principle, it appears to be particularly relevant to us in this particular period in history.
The three outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, belong to a very different order indeed. Their discovery was only made possible through the development of scientific instruments, such as the telescope, and appears to reflect a corresponding expansion of human awareness and consciousness. The discovery of Uranus in 1781 doubled the size of the solar system overnight and shattered the old world view - a profoundly shocking, unexpected and exciting development, which immediately tells us something about its astrological interpretation. Neptune's discovery in 1846 and Pluto's discovery in 1930 have heralded the current era, with all its tremendous potential for collective evolution and collective destruction.
Audience: There is a lot to learn, isn't there?
Clare: Yes. Learning astrology is very similar to embarking on an apprenticeship. Astrology is a practical craft which cannot be mastered 'with the head' only. We each need to find our own unique relationship to astrology, and our hard work and dedication is repaid when we find ourselves tapping into the living astrological tradition, at which point the subject, and each chart we study, begins to come alive for us. It is the apprenticeship which prepares us for this magical moment, when we first find ourselves in a dialogue with the living cosmos.

Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again.

Curious about WD ENT history
I have tried to research, but can't find out much of anything about the earliest collectables from Disney.
I'm especially curious about items marked WD ENT

There are a vast number of Disney items in the Worthopedia that have this identification mark on them, many from the 1930's. Can you be a little more specific about what you are looking to learn, or research? Thanks!

Americans may be enamored with Social Security, Medicare, and sundry other unconstitutional federal policies, but according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll, a sizable majority of them stands with the Constitution when it comes to marijuana laws.
The survey, conducted November 26-29, reveals that 64 percent of Americans believe that the federal government should not "take steps to enforce federal anti-marijuana laws" in states that have legalized recreational marijuana consumption, while just 34 percent think the feds ought to crack down on pot use in those states. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that 43 percent of those opposed to legalization nevertheless agreed that states should be allowed to set their own marijuana policies.
Constitutionally speaking, there is no question that marijuana policy ought to be set by state and local governments, not Washington. Nothing in the Constitution grants the federal government the power to prohibit the use of marijuana or any other drug. Therefore, as the 10th Amendment makes explicit, that power is "reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." After all, if the Constitution, as originally ratified, permitted the federal government to prohibit the use of particular substances, there would have been no need to enact the 18th Amendment before Congress could prohibit alcohol.
The conflict between federal and state marijuana laws has come to the fore in the wake of successful ballot initiatives in Washington and Colorado to legalize and regulate recreational marijuana use. Despite the clear message sent by voters in those two states — more Coloradans voted for weed legalization than for President Barack Obama's reelection, though Obama still won the state — the Obama administration is considering ways to thwart the people's will. According to the New York Times, the administration may prosecute "low-level marijuana users" in hopes of getting a court to rule "that federal law trumps the state one," sue the states that passed the initiatives, or even "cut off federal grants to the states" pending repeal of the laws.

European Parliament votes for mandatory targets to boost second-generation biofuels
June 20, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
The European Parliament's environment committee today voted in favor of setting mandatory targets to boost the use of second-generation biofuels, the parliament says. Second-generation biofuels are produced from wastes, algae, and other sources that do not compete directly with food and feed crops. "A reliable model for measuring indirect land use change [ILUC] must be found before including [the targets] in legislation," say the committee members. Greater production of second-generation biofuels should be encouraged by gradually phasing in mandatory...
