Fifty years ago a group of young German filmmakers signed a manifesto. There were 26 of them in total, an assortment of directors, writers, cinematographers and animators who had gathered at that year�s International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen. Collectively they became known as the Oberhausen Group (or Oberhausener) and their manifesto the Oberhausen Manifesto. The gist of their statement was that conventional cinema in Germany was in decline, leaving room for an alternative. The various signatories had already begun to work in the short film format, winning awards and international attention, and it was they who would forge a new approach and style. �Film needs to be independent,� read the final paragraph, �Free from all the usual conventions of the industry. Free from control of commercial partners. Free from the dictates of shareholders. [�] Conventional film is dead. We believe in the new film.�
Nowadays the Oberhausen Group is best known for spearheading the New German Cinema movement. In 1966 came the release of both Volker Schl�ndorff�s Young T�rless and Alexander Kluge�s Yesterday Girl, their arrival seemingly triggering a whole influx of filmmaking talent. The next few years would also see the feature debuts of Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders and Margarethe von Trotta, all of whom would help define their national cinema for some time to come. And yet, with the exception of Kluge, none of them belonged to the Oberhausen Group. In fact, if you�re looking for recognisable names among the signatories then it is entirely likely that only Kluge and Edgar Reitz, the director of Heimat, will ring any bells to non-German audiences. That effectively leaves 24 filmmakers whose output and careers remain practically unknown. Furthermore the fact that it took five years from the Manifesto being signed to a full-length feature emerging creates another gap. What of the films produced during the interim period and why aren�t they better known?
Die Oberhausener, Edition Filmmuseum�s recent two-disc compilation, sets about bridging some of these spaces. It encompasses 19 short films, all made between the years 1958 and 1965, and takes into account each of the 26 signatories. Put simply, it�s an invaluable release. Not only does it reveal an area of cinema history that has remained practically unseen for the past half-century, but it also reveals it to be one of immense quality and significance. Just as importantly the historical importance extends beyond the cinematic and into the social. The vast majority of these shorts are non-fiction and as such provide a fascinating insight into the attitudes and outlook of Germany�s post-war generation.
Of course, those who were coming of age during the late fifties and early sixties became cinematic subjects the world over. On the surface there isn�t much to choose between the young teenagers of a British documentary such as Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson�s Momma Don�t Allow and those who populate the coffee bar in Herbert Vesely�s Menschen im Espresso (People in Caf�s). Both films are fascinated by youth in front of their cameras and the burgeoning cultures that surround them. They also share the same v�rit� style and off-the-cuff approach; as Menschen im Espresso puts it, this is �a film of moments� capturing aspects �on the periphery of interest�. It doesn�t focus on the main event because the main event would be too broad a project. Instead it provides its own little contribution to the bigger picture, dwelling on the minutiae of its chosen location and serving as a compelling slice of history as a result.
Speaking of Momma Don�t Allow, it�s surprising how often the films on Die Oberhausener recall those of the Free Cinema movement. Both were closely tied to manifestos (Free Cinema had a different one each programme; the first declaring �No film can be too personal�) and both had a habit of existing somewhere between experimental cinema and industrial filmmaking. Reisz was able to finance Every Day Except Christmas and We Are the Lambeth Boys through his position within the Ford Motor Company. Meanwhile, in Germany, Ferdinand Khittl was transforming a straightforward commission about sound recording � Das magische Band (The Magic Ribbon) from 1959 � into a dazzling visual overload as well as a meditation on the tensions between the past and the present. Further Free Cinema associations abound in Manfred Burzlaff Septett�s wonderful jazz score for Hansj�rgen Pohland�s Schatten (Shadows), which recalls Johnny Dankworth�s efforts for We Are the Lambeth Boys, and in the sardonic travelogues of Moskau Ruft! (Moscow is Calling!) and in Es mu� ein St�ck vom Hitler sein (It Must Be a Piece of Hitler). Needless to say documentaries showing up the false public face of Soviet Russia or the commercial appeal of Hitler�s bunker complex have a touch more justification than Lindsay Anderson�s sour (and incredibly snobbish) account of the working classes on holiday in O Dreamland.
Es mu� ein St�ck vom Hitler sein highlights the key difference between the Oberhausen Group and their fellow international filmmakers, namely that of coming to terms with their country�s recent past. The Second World War haunts many of the short films on Die Oberhausener � some subtly, others explicitly. In Edgar Reitz�s Kommunikation (Communication), for example, it�s impossible to ignore the bullet hole-ridden walls and the barbed wire, even if this is a promotional film for the German postal service. Brutalit�t in Stein (Brutality in Stone), by Alexander Kluge and Peter Schamoni, tackles such images head-on, its camera coldly surveying the abandoned architecture of the Third Reich as it existed in 1961. Plakate der Weimarer Republik (Posters of the Weimar Republic) is a straightforward warning-from-history documentary by Haro Senft detailing the rise of the Nazi Party, whilst animator Wolfgang Urchs opts for political fable in Das Unkraut (Weeds).
There is also a strong showing for that very specifically German concept, Heimat. It inspired its own genre within the national cinema � the audience-pleasing Heimatfilme � though the Oberhausen Group�s take was much less sentimental. Whereas a typical entry would venerate their rural settings and focus on community and family, a documentary such as Notizen aus dem Altm�hltal (Notes from the Altm�hltal) by Hans Rolf Strobel and Heinrich Tichawsky emphasises the declining populations due to migration and notes how such places come with �a lot of past [but] not much present or future�. Similar sentiments are evoked in Christian Doermer�s Granstein, plus it�s impossible to view any of these films without recalling the most famous work of any of the signatories, Reitz�s Heimat. Indeed, its second series, Der zweite Heimat, was loosely based on its director�s own student days and his friendships with fellow artists, from whom we can draw parallels with the Oberhausener.
The artists in Der zweite Heimat were a diverse bunch. The central figure, Hermann Simon, is an experimental composer, though he crosses paths with actors, painters, filmmakers, philosophers and so forth. One of these characters was quite clearly based on Raimond Ruehl, who died in a boating accident aged just 33 and with only three short films to his name. He�s represented on Die Oberhausener by Salinas, an ethnographic account of the men who work the salt fields in Spain. Exquisitely shot and impeccably framed by Pitt Koch (whose Gl�hendes Eiland Kreta [The Sun-Baked Island of Crete] also features on this set), it understands perfectly the power of the visual. Ruehl uses voice-over only sparingly, instead putting all of his trust into the black and white imagery and in doing so producing a stunning piece of cinema.
Among the other highpoints is Detten Schleiermacher�s trab trab (trot trot), a precise and elegant account of a racecourse. It does so without narration or images of either horses or patrons; everything we see has been captured either pre- or post-race. Just as impressive is Rob Houwer�s Anmeldung (Registration) which casts its eye on an old peoples� home. One of just a handful of titles on Die Oberhausener to have been filmed in colour, it also contains the most haunting image of them all: an eerie, disquieting shot of numerous residents all peering out of their windows simultaneously, all silent, all looking heartbreakingly lonely. Were this a horror film it would be terrifying, as it is it strikes a more melancholy chord.
Yet picking highpoints is a largely redundant act. The quality across these 19 shorts is exceptionally high with even the odd weak entry proving justifying its inclusion for other reasons. Ultimately, Die Oberhausener is far greater than the sum of its parts and succeeds on a number of levels. As a piece of cinematic history it is vital. As a slice of social history it is just an important. As a compilation of outstanding short films it contains plenty of gems. And as a primer for a whole host of filmmakers practically unknown outside of their home country it cannot be bested. Whilst Alexander Kluge and Edgar Reitz have been exceptionally well-served by DVD, the same cannot be said for the other 24 signatories. (Though please be aware that Ferdinand Khittl�s Die Parallelstra�e was released by Edition Filmmuseum in 2010.) In this respect Die Oberhausener should be seen as a jumping off point � once viewed it leaves you with 24 new filmmakers and careers in eager need of exploration.
Die Oberhausener splits its 19 films (plus one fragment, Stunde X [Hour X] by Bernhard D�rries) over two discs. Each disc also contains an extra apiece, whilst the second houses some DVD-ROM materials for those seeking additional context. Encoded for all regions, this release also contains optional subtitles in English, French, Spanish and Russian as well as German.
In terms of presentation the standards are very high. Of course, the quality differs from short to short, plus we must take into account the fact that some make heavy use of archive footage, though it�s hard not to be mostly impressed. Certainly, Pitt Koch�s exceptional photography for Salinas stands out as much as it should, likewise Wolf Wirth�s efforts for trab trab. The colour titles are similarly striking and, for the most part, damage and wear are minimal throughout. There are a couple of rougher looking shorts, as you would expect, though never to any distracting degree. All films comes in their original 1.33:1 aspect ratio and with original mono soundtracks.
Extras consist of two documentaries out of archive, both which take the Oberhausen Group and New German Cinema as their subjects: ��Geist und ein wenig Gl�ck� (��Spirit and a Little Luck�) from 1965 and Die Erben von Papas Kino (The Heirs of Daddy�s Cinema) from 1968. In each case we get interviews with many of the Oberhausen Group plus, in the case of the latter, some of those who followed in their footsteps. Indeed, Die Erben von Papas Kino contains a glimpse of a very young Werner Herzog, here predicting the rise of home video long before the technology entered the mainstream. Both documentaries offer plenty of context and background information which is ably supplemented by the multi-lingual illustrated booklet and DVD-ROM features. Note, however, that some of the facsimiles are unavoidably in German only.

Computer displays are stupid
Why did computer displays, and monitors, evolve to get wider instead of taller?
I speculate that it came from televisions, which mimicked the movie screen, and movies are landscape orientation. That said, content on the computer usually scrolls vertically, not horizontally, so it makes way more sense to have tall displays instead of wide displays.
You can rotate some monitors 90 degrees for this reason, but then you're the d-bag in the office with a vertical monitor, and no one wants to be that guy.

Picking up the pieces after Atlantic Beach tornado
ATLANTIC BEACH, CARTERET COUNTY - On this sunny Thanksgiving day people like Mel Hoard are picking up the pieces. They are collecting what they can find after a destructive tornado hit their homes and Atlantic Beach.
"It's finally starting to hit everybody. It's kind of like shell shock. I don't wish this on anybody," said Hoard.
Those who weren't there during the tornado have started coming to see what has happened to their residences. Joanne Gusko first heard about what happened to her home away from home on the news.
"The second floor is totally gone. So, we had to come today," Gusko said.
The only thing the tornado moved in her unit was a book and an air conditioner.
Robert Allsbrook manager of Ocean Sands said he's been dealing with calls non-stop.
However, on this Thanksgiving he's trying forget about that and just hang out with who he calls "the tornado survivors."
"We have some injured people, that had to be taken to the hospital, but we are still here. We're still kicking. So, we are getting together [Thursday] and eating a plate and enjoying ourselves the best we can," Allsbrook said.
Allsbrook said they are waiting on Ocean Sand's insurance to see what they will be able to do next.

In view of its economic relevance, energy efficiency has always featured as a key element in process optimization in the production facilities at Salzgitter Flachstahl. For the first time, as part of the current energy-efficiency program, systematic savings potentials are being identified, evaluated and implemented in all production areas. Energy Management provides the initiative and leads workgroups from each individual area, performs the economic assessment and presents the result of all energy-efficiency measures. In collaboration with the various plants, energy-efficient projects are identified and energy-saving measures implemented. Energy Management has also created a database used to present energy-efficiency project information for each area in a structured manner and to ensure traceability. By December 2011, 178 measures had been included in the "EE database" and 80 projects realized. Since the start of the project in the year 2009, CO2 emissions have been reduced by about 100,000 tons. Annual cost reductions in the region of Euro 12 million are expected from 2012. One of the measures that has been successfully introduced is the optimization of the Cowper stoves in the blast furnaces. The wind required for the blast furnaces is heated to more than 1,300 °C. By reducing the exhaust gas losses, the efficiency of the combustion process within the Cowper stoves has been improved considerably. The energy saving achieved in 2011 corresponds to the annual heating consumption of around 400 single-family houses. Since May 2010, Building Services have been installing cross-flow heat exchangers in the ventilation systems of the new washrooms. The high-energy exhaust air that was previously expelled directly into the environment is now used to heat the air external air intake and energy is saved to heat the interior air. Last year, installing a cross-flow heat exchanger in the new washroom of the steelworks saved enough energy to meet the annual heating requirements of about 30 single-family houses. The success of the energy-efficiency program continues to be driven by a wealth of ideas from all members of staff working at our plants and facilities.

Don't use my letter as it is now. Rather, see if you can develop some ideas of your own from it. If you use my letter, then it is me thinking and writing, not you. You need to have your letter represent YOU. [by yasin]
During the past four years, I studied industrial engineering (with specialization in?) electronics at Ostend. The emphasis of my studies was understanding the fundamental electronic principles that govern modern day electronics. But I also learned about other diverse topics such as safety, economics, and industrial management. I found the last topic, industrial management, to be very interesting and exciting, because one of my career aspirations is to participate in the senior management of an industrial company.
To further my career aspiriations of becoming part of a senior management team, I want to obtain a Master's Degree in Industrial Management. Having this knowledge will allow me to better understand management principles. With all the uncertainty and changes in with world, political, economic, and technological, I believe that management must have a solid understanding, supported by a strong academic foundation, of how to guide companies through these challenging times.
No education is complete without experience. Armed with a solid understanding of academic principles, I can begin my career where I will add to my experience. Because I will be well versed in the theory, I will be able to adapt and modify the theoretical constructs as required in order to meet my company's needs. I fully recognize that our political, economic, and technological environments are constantly changing, and thus management needs to be able to adapt quickly and accurately to the new conditions if the company is to survive, let alone prosper. I believe obtaining a Master's Degree will provide the necessary background for me to be to anticipate and react to ever-changing environments.
I look forward to launching my new career. Should you have any questions, please contact me at....

Murder, Conspiracy, and High-Stakes Fraud
In 1982, Thomas Perry won an Edgar Award for his debut novel, The Butcher's Boy, and he has since established himself as one our most original, consistently entertaining suspense novelists. For the past several years, in books like Vanishing Act, Blood Money, and Shadow Woman, he has chronicled the adventures of Native American "guide" and escape expert Jane Whitefield. His latest novel, Death Benefits, represents a radical -- and effective -- departure, giving us a witty, informed, thoroughly enjoyable account of murder, conspiracy, and high-stakes insurance fraud.
The hero of Death Benefits is John Walker, a likable 24-year-old data analyst for McClaren Life and Casualty, a venerable San Francisco-based insurance firm. Walker spends the bulk of his working hours performing bloodless analyses of raw statistical data. All of that changes abruptly when he finds himself partnered with Max Spillman, a maverick security consultant hired to investigate a costly -- and ultimately tragic -- insurance scam.
The action begins when McClaren pays out a $12 million death benefit to the man believed to be the legitimate beneficiary of a substantial life insurance policy. Several days later, the real beneficiary shows up, demanding his money. In the ensuing chaos, it is learned that the agent who approved the false payment -- Walker's former girlfriend, Ellen Snyder -- has disappeared, leaving a complex paper trail behind. At this point, Max Spillman, with a bewildered John Walker in tow, begins the process of following that trail to a series of startling revelations.
The initial stages of their journey lead from Pasadena -- where Spillman and his protégé survive a violent encounter with thugs masquerading as policemen -- to an isolated field in Illinois, where the recently murdered Ellen Snyder lies buried. Some weeks later, the investigation resumes in Miami Beach. There, against the vibrant backdrop of a tropical hurricane, Walker stumbles across several additional corpses and begins to discern the outline of a widespread, highly organized criminal conspiracy. As the narrative progresses, moving from Miami to Chicago to a sinister littletown in rural New Hampshire -- a town in which everyone seems to be related to everyone else -- the action intensifies, culminating in an extended climax in which Walker and Spillman -- accompanied by a beautiful outlaw hacker named Mary Catherine Casey -- fight for survival against a vicious, ubiquitous enemy.
En route to that conclusion, Perry offers us his trademark combination of precise observation, credible characters, and clean, unobtrusive prose. Like the best of Perry's earlier work, Death Benefits is a first-class entertainment by a gifted, underappreciated figure. Maybe this time, he'll finally acquire the audience he deserves.

Designer Konstantin Grcic has recently worked with Mattiazzi to mint a collection of raw and minimalistic chairs. Branded the "MEDICI," each of the chairs aims to balance both form and function by accentuating the natural wood's inherent structure and DNA while affording a utilitarian comfort and usability. Constructed from American walnut, Douglar fir, and thermo-treated ash, the various woods keep in mind durability as they are able to be used indoor and outdoor. In addition to the natural, unfinished versions, the MEDICI is also offered in both grey and yellow-finished iterations.

British detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have built up "the most complete picture" yet of what happened to her, they say.
More than 400 people, including new witnesses, have been interviewed by Metropolitan Police officers since a fresh investigation was ordered in May 2011.
Kate and Gerry McCann say they are greatly encouraged that the jigsaw of what happened to their daughter appears to be closer to completion.
British police have taken statements from, among others, carers, residents and workers who were at the resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal, at the time of Madeleine's disappearance in May 2007.
In total, 442 people have been questioned by officers or provided statements to detectives in an inquiry spanning 30 countries.
Scotland Yard said its investigation had resulted in 4920 lines of inquiry, of which 2123 had been followed up and "completed".
The release of details on the progress of the 5 million ($9.6 million) police inquiry is part of a co-ordinated effort by Scotland Yard to maximise publicity ahead of a live television appeal by the McCanns on the BBC's Crimewatch.
Police sources suggested they were optimistic that they would get to the bottom of what has happened to the missing girl.
Madeleine's parents said: "We are greatly encouraged by new information coming to light, with pieces of the jigsaw now fitting together. We are really hopeful that the forthcoming appeal on Crimewatch will bring further new evidence which will take us a step closer to finding Madeleine and to bringing those responsible for her abduction to justice."
Detectives are studying mobile telephone data from thousands of people who were in Praia da Luz when Madeleine vanished at the age of 3. Thirty-seven officers are on the case. Police have refused to discuss forensic evidence but admit that no useful CCTV footage existed in Portugal.
The McCanns, both doctors who live in Rothley, Leicestershire, believe their child, who would now be 10, was abducted and may still be alive.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood, who is leading Operation Grange, the new inquiry, said yesterday: "We now believe we have the most complete picture to date of the events surrounding her disappearance.
"We are now making targeted and new appeals for help from the public.
"I truly believe there are people out there who hold the key to Madeleine's disappearance, and that, so far, they may be completely unaware of that fact. Through this latest round of publicity we hope to take the next step forward in this investigation.
"There is a huge public desire out there to help us."


text: So I have a friend who has a new PowerBook Rev. D 1.67 GHZ with 512MB of RAM and Tiger, as well as an Airport Extreme Base Station in their living room. I have a PowerBook Rev. C 1.5 GHZ with 512 MB of RAM and Tiger. So anyway, the weird part is that when we bring our PowerBooks into her room, her PowerBook's reception pretty much goes dead, whereas mine seems to be more robust. We also set the PowerBooks up outside of my house (in her car) and her PowerBook didn't pick up the Airport Express signal from my room, whereas mine did. Is there a difference in hardware between the two PowerBooks that could account for this signal reception difference?

While they also offer buffer style eating, off the menu you've got a full range of international standards, we went for the pepper steak (which they claim fame for) and it was pretty good. Service is prompt — perhaps a little too much so — and friendly. There's also a solid winelist.
While open for lunch as well, this is more of a dinner establishment and you can expect live entertainment in the evening — we scored Neil Young renditions.

Former EastEnders actress Gemma McCluskie pulled a knife on her brother before he chopped up her body and scattered it in Regent's Canal, the Old Bailey heard today.
But skunk cannabis addict Tony McCluskie says he cannot remember what how it happened and never intended to kill his sister.
McCluskie, 35, attacked his sister in a blazing row over a flooded sink in the flat they shared in Shoreditch, the jury was told.
He then stuffed her torso into a suitcase and took a minicab to the canal.
But today his QC Jeremy Dein told the court: "He will tell you he woke up feeling unwell, there was a row to do with the taps, he recalls Gemma taking up the knife and issuing threats, he remembers grabbing her wrists but then his memory goes blank.
"He cannot remember the circumstances in which he killed his own sister, nor does he have a recollection of what he undoubtedly did after the event. "
McCluskie, of Shoreditch, has pleaded not guilty to murder in march last year, but guilty to manslaughter.
Mr Dein said he was entering a defence of lack of intent and loss of control.
Gemma was just 17 when she won a part in the BBC soap opera playing Kerry Skinner and 29 when she was killed.
Her acting career had stalled after leaving EastEnders and, said Mr Dein, "behaved very differently behind closed doors than her public face."
He said she took cocaine – as her brother did on top of the skunk cannabis – and was "very abusive and offensive" to her brother.
McCluskie was under pressure from a serious illness to his mother, the break-up with his long term girlfriend and problems at work.
As a result he struck out at his sister through a combination of "shock, panic, despair and desperation" after she produced the knife.
Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, has told the court that Gemma was tired of her brother's drug use and had told a friend: "He's permanently stoned. He puts a spliff in his mouth first thing in the morning and doesn't know what he's doing."
A post mortem revealed that there had been a struggle and Gemma had been hit over the head with a blunt instrument.
McCluskie had phoned a minicab and struggled to put a heavy suitcase into the boot of the car before ordering the driver to head for the canal.
At the flat the siblings shared police discovered her blood in the bathroom and a blood stained knife in the kitchen.
The case continues.

White's attorney Jill Craft said in a statement Thursday afternoon that her client, Dewayne White, does not want to work for East Baton Rouge City-Parish leaders
Don't worry... (laughs) don't worry. I'm not gonna do... what you all think i'm gonna do, which is just FLIP OUT!! But let me just say, as I ease out of the office, that i helped build... I'm sorry, but it is a FACT... that there is such a thing... as manners. A way of treating people..... These fish have manners. These fish have manners. In fact, they're coming with me. I'm starting a new company, and the fish are coming with me. You can (chuckle) call me sentimental, but the fish are coming with me.
Does he get to keep the phone?
East Baton Rouge Parish officials have filed notice of their intent to appeal a judge's ruling concerning evidence gathered during the course of a criminal investigation of former Police Chief Dewayne White involving a city-parish cellphone White failed to return after his Feb. 6 dismissal.
The Parish Attorney's Office said in court documents filed Tuesday that state Judge Chip Moore did not have jurisdiction to bar the city-parish from releasing information contained on the cellphone of Kim McCants, a Zachary woman, who was linked to White.
The lawyer had the phone the whole time and was hiding it. That phone was going to expose his sexual exploits outside his marriage. So when they finally got the phone he quietly went away

I know pie crusts are one of the easiest things to make, but for some reason, I have always had trouble making them. In the "old days", I would just buy the pre-made crusts, but recently, I decided that i needed to just suck it up and come up with a recipe for a homemade crust. In addition, I wanted one that was gluten free. After some experimenting, I came up with the following. Tastes great with sweet and savory dishes alike.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that I do not promote unethical products. The only palm products I use are from Tropical Traditions because they DO NOT come from South East Asia where the destruction is taking place. I do not use palm products from any other vendor for this reason. This is what they had to say when I asked them about their products:
"Virgin Palm Oil is palm oil that is traditionally made and maintains the natural nutrients of carotenes (precursors to Vitamin A) and the antioxidant tocotrienols (Vitamin E). Palm oil comes from a tropical palm tree (elaeis guineensis – NOT the same as coconut palm trees), which is native to the tropical areas of Africa, where it grows wild. It is a traditional oil used for more than 5000 years in African countries, where small-scale family farms flourish. The palm oil palm was introduced to South East Asia in the early 1900s, and Malaysia is now the world leader in exports of palm oil (Tropical Traditions does NOT source palm oil from there.) Being an introduced crop to Asia, they are mainly harvested from large plantations. Tropical Traditions Virgin Palm Oil comes from West Africa, NOT South East Asia. You can be sure we are not selling anything from Sumatra or areas destroying habitat. That's not who we are as a company. Our palm oil pages make this clear also. Our palm shortening, for example, comes from South America and is certified by ProForest. Our virgin palm oil comes from Africa produced sustainably by small-scale producers."
Delicious Obsessions Product Recommendations
My affiliate partner, Tropical Traditions, is where I get all of my coconut products from and if you make a purchase from them through any of my links, you will receive a free copy of their Virgin Coconut Oil book, and I will receive a discount coupon for referring you.
Gluten Free Pie Crust
makes 1 thick crust or 2 thin crusts – I have linked to the products from my affiliate partners that I personally use and recommend.
- 3/4 cup sifted coconut flour
- 1/2 cup palm shortening
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 pastured eggs
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
1. Preheat the oven to 375.
2. Whiz the coconut flour, shredded coconut, and salt in a food processor and pulse until well combined.
3. Add the eggs and palm shortening and continue to pulse until the dough forms a ball.
4. Remove the dough from the food processor. If you want two crusts, split the mixture in two at this point. You can refrigerate this dough if you're not quite ready to make your crusts.
5. Since this has no gluten in it, you won't be able to roll this crust out as easily as you would a normal wheat pie crust. I've found the easiest way to work the dough is to place the mixture in your pie plate and press firmly into the pan, working it evenly up the sides and along the bottom of the dish. I use a small, smooth drinking glass to roll out the dough in the pan and it works pretty well.
6. Using a fork, poke some holes in the bottom of the crust.
7. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove and let cool completely before adding your favorite pie fillings. It also works great for quiches.

Discussion in the Australian Lamborghini forums.
And last but not least is the classic 1974 Lamborghini Countach LP400 in Arancio (orange). Yes, that's right. Lamborghini. GT fans know this is special, as it marks the first time Lamborghini has ever been in Gran Turismo. And as you can imagine, this won't be the last Lamborghini in a Gran Turismo game, either.

This is a discussion on Utah not holding to the law within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; well it just might be June 30th before it comes, but there is no language in the law that says 60 working days, it just ...
well it just might be June 30th before it comes, but there is no language in the law that says 60 working days, it just says 60 days from what i have seen. Plus they had sent me an email roughly a month ago telling me they "received my application April 7 and would process it by June 7 which is perscribed by law". That tells me that it is 60 actual days not working days.
At the time i thought well duh obviously it was going to be processed within the 60 days, so i figured they really didn't tell me anything (other than my actual receive date being April 7 not my cancelled check date or April 11). turns out we were both wrong the 60 days is more of a suggestion than a rule i guess. Wonder if this will work when i pay my bills, hmmmmmmmmmm.
I figured all i can do is wait, but had hoped maybe someone on here that ran into the same situation but managed to speed the process along could provide a little advice. Otherwise, i am just carrying at home for now

Hi I will start by explaining my intentions.
I want to do a LED swap mod on my speedo cluster (2004 E53).
I have purchased a used cluster and just want to try and clarify the swap procedure.
Once I have swapped the LED's and installed a blank M35080 chip, can I just plug in the modified cluster and LCM and EWS will update the mileage and VIN in the new blank M35080 automatically?
Or should I do a backup with PA Soft 1.4, then do a restore after I install the new cluster?
I dont want to touch or modify my original cluster and keep it as a backup incase anything goes wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Madonna has brought her MDNA World Tour to Miami, FL which has, in turn, brought out her two youngest children into the public eye. David Banda and Chifundo Mercy James used the visit to Miami to their best advantage by enjoying an afternoon playdate at the beach. It's been a long time since we've seen David and Mercy out and about so these new photos are a nice treat. Can you believe how big they've both gotten? Sheesh!
When last we saw David and Mercy out in public was way back in January when Madonna and family went skiing in Switzerland. From the slopes to the sea, it looks like Maddy's kids are living the high life. These kids are so cute but, man, they've gotten so big! I love them!

When Branislav Ivanovic walks out onto the pitch at the Liberty Stadium tonight, redemption rather than Wembley, will be at the forefront of his mind.
Over the past fortnight, the Chelsea defender has been haunted by the two mistakes which gifted Swansea a 2-0 win in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final and he is determined to make amends.
Since the Serbia international joined the club from Lokomotiv Moscow for £9.7million five years ago, errors have been few and far between but he had a night to forget against Michael Laudrup's side at Stamford Bridge.
After being caught in possession on the edge of his own area to allow Michu to score in the first half, he was also punished for a terrible back pass just before the final whistle when Danny Graham added the second.
It was hard to tell who was more shocked by the defender's performance, the Chelsea supporters, his team-mates or Ivanovic himself. Such was the centre-back's dismay, he stormed off the pitch at the final whistle before issuing a personal apology to everyone in the dressing room afterwards.
However, the 28-year-old knows the only way to put things right is to help the team overturn the two-goal deficit to reach next month's final.
Ivanovic told Standard Sport: "The first match was a very difficult game for us and for me it was probably my worst game for Chelsea.
"I apologised to everyone afterwards in the dressing room. That is normal, to admit you made a mistake, but you have to be mentally strong and mentally ready to forget these things.
"I was very disappointed but the good thing about football is that you always have tomorrow.
"I would like to play against Swansea to put things right, to stay focused and get the team to Wembley.
"I will try to forget that happened and in this game everything is new again and anything can happen. We are 2-0 down but we will not give up and will try to do everything that we can to get to Wembley. It is vital not to let them score and if we get the first goal we are right back in the game.
"So the defensive line is going to be very important and I have to be mentally right so I don't make the same mistakes as I did in the first leg."
Ivanovic is no stranger to helping Chelsea stage a fightback against the odds for he was one of the stars in their dramatic Champions League success last season.
They were in a similarly dire position when they trailed Napoli 3-1 from the first leg of their last-16 tie. They won the return match last March 4-1, with Ivanovic scoring the decisive fourth goal and it provided the springboard to lifting the trophy two months later.
The main difference was Chelsea played the second leg against the Italians at home whereas they will be in south Wales this time but Ivanovic still feels that his side's greater experience of performing under such pressure will give them an advantage. He added: "We have shown many times in the past that we have the power to come back in situations like this.
"We can't change what happened in the first game but we can do everything to change this one.
"We have experienced and quality players who can change it in one moment, with one pass or one shot.
"All of us still believe. Two-nil is a big advantage for them but that means nothing, really."
Rafael Benitez's team selection could prove vital with new signing Demba Ba competing with Fernando Torres for a starting role up front.
Ba has scored three goals since joining from Newcastle for £7.5m at the start of the month, while Torres (above, second image) hasn't found the net in his last seven appearances.
But Ivanovic feels both forwards could play a crucial part in progressing to next month's final and for the rest of the season.
He said: "It is really good to have two strikers to choose from and to have a lot of competition between them.
"It was very difficult to play all the season with just one striker but now we have Demba Ba, too. He is a great player, knows the League and is physically very strong.
"He works very hard for the team and has already scored goals, which is important for his confidence. We expect him to get better and better.
"I know we can play in games, including Swansea, with both strikers and that would be good for the team.
"Demba is fantastic, Fernando also and we can work on playing both of them together. It's going to be great for the team.
"Yes [Fernando is up for the challenge]. All this pressure is familiar for Fernando. He has the support of every team-mate and it is important for him to score and work hard in training every day. They are not against each other, they can play together and help the team."
Still, if Chelsea are to reach their sixth Wembley final in as many years, Ivanovic knows that one of the signings of the season will have to be stopped.
Michu's goal in the first match was his 16th since joining from Rayo Vallecano for £2m last summer and Ivanovic concluded: "He is in that form strikers can get into where every time he shoots, he scores.
"It means we have to stay concentrated. He has great quality and ability to play. This is an extra motivation for us to stop a player like him."
And no one will be more motivated to do just that than Ivanovic.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In 2011, John McCain is president, the U.S. and Israel have bombed Iran's nuclear plants, and gas is $8 a gallon. The U.S. economy is in recession, and there are 10,000 American troops still fighting in Iraq. Jimmy Burns, a self-obsessed 20-something with a perfectly sculpted, asymmetrically-spiked haircut, a fitted, black zip-up pullover and a hand-held video camera, is a semi-famous video blogger whose life is about to change. After capturing footage of a terrorist bombing of his Brooklyn neighborhood Starbucks, a major TV news network hires him as an Iraq war correspondent.
Once in Iraq, Jimmy waltzes in and out of fierce combat, smokes cigs, hooks up with a New York magazine reporter, grows a beard, and strolls into bars wearing treehugger tank tops. But Iraq, Jimmy finds, isn't all adrenaline rushes and hot chicks: He also becomes the pawn of the leader of a terrorist group, witnesses the aftermath of the massacre of innocent people at a hospital, gets his camera stolen, and just barely survives multiple gun fights and explosions by the skin of his teeth.
He also receives life-affirming advice from an aging Dan Rather ("Courage, Burns. The frequency is courage."). Jimmy's ultimate lessons? War ain't pretty (there's lots of images of bodies blown to bits), the world does not revolve around one man alone (well, not most of the time, anyway), and a video camera and a knack for being in the right place at the right time can really take you places in the blossoming era of citizen journalism.
This is the vision of our future as depicted in Shooting War, a 192-page graphic novel created by journalist Anthony Lappé and illustrator Dan Goldman, a collaboration made possible through a craigslist ad that Lappé posted. They first hatched the idea more than a year ago as a webcomic for a storytelling website called Smithmag.net, where it got close to one million page views a month at its peak and was nominated for a 2007 Eisner Award for "Best Digital Comic." The webcomic version is still posted on the site.
The story unfolds through a collage of digital photos and drawings. Department of Defense website photos are mixed in with Goldman's own shots in the U.S.; some of which are not always what they seem to be in the book. A public toilet from a national park in Colorado doubles as part of a command center in an underground bunker in one scene. Fencing around an Iraqi airplane hanger in the book was actually shot in Goldman's Brooklyn neighborhood. "It's similar to making hip-hop music," Goldman told me over the phone. "Snippets of things you see are not in the context of story, but all the little pieces come together to make the story." To layer drawings and shading on top of photos, Goldman drew everything directly onto a 21-inch touch screen using an electronic, wireless pen, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop. Everything combined, this is a slick-looking book.
The text is heavy on the action-flick dialog (Fixer to Jimmy: "Who was that ? Jimmy to fixer: "Don't worry about it. Take a right And follow that green car." Fixer to Jimmy: "Are you crazy?? We'll miss the press conference!!"). An exchange between a network news exec and Jimmy Burns is particularly hard-boiled: "You think anyone really wants to hear about Wal-Mart arse-fucking the Indonesians? They want $5 barrels of peanut butter and flat-screens for the price of a lap dance. I know you. I saw it in your eyes. You're hooked now. You need the action."
It's also über-macho. (American soldier to Jimmy: "If I ever hear a peep from you, I'll drop you off in the middle of Baquaba naked with 'Mohammed is a fag' written in Arabic across your chest. We clear?"). The scenes that depict the budding friendship between Jimmy and Dan Rather (wearing a Dallas Mavericks-sponsored combat helmet) cast Rather as a fast-talkin' guy full of folksy wisdom and one-liners (Rather to Burns: "As we used to say back in West Texas, if a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a handgun. So where's the action today?")
At a recent in-store discussion and book signing in San Francisco, the authors' spiel included as much pontification on the war and culture as it did off-the-cuff banter about mainstream media (Lappé, critiquing TV news anchors: "Just because someone's serious, doesn't mean they're legitimate.") Both of them big Daily Show fans, they say they wanted the book to be similarly ironic, sarcastic, funny, and entertaining, and also dark.
For an audience who appreciates brisk pace, cool visuals, and entertainment-focused banter, I'd say they succeeded. But for a more critical, thoughtful analysis of the war and current American foreign policy, not so much. Shooting War is a wild, somewhat adolescent, ride through combat, imperialism, and capitalism that had me eagerly flipping pages, but ultimately craving more meaning beyond the crafty images and flippant dialog. But then again, Shooting War isn't The New York Times, and hard-hitting reporting and analysis was never the point of this project.
Lappé summed up their M.O. in this way at the San Francisco appearance: "Writing this book was a breeze. Journalism is hard. It's a big grind."

NOTEBOOK; 3d Referee Draws a Favorable Call
By SAM GOLDAPER
Published: December 27, 1988
The National Basketball Association has gone from two to three officials. With the season more than a quarter over, it appeared to be a good time to find out if the third official is worth $1.5 million the addition is costing the league.
And since Bill Laimbeer's reputation is such that he argues with referees and infuriates other players more than anyone in the league, it also appeared that the outspoken Detroit Piston center was a logical person to comment on the change.
As the 6-foot-11-inch Laimbeer dressed for the game against the Knicks last Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, he was asked about his thoughts on the new referee.
''I don't like officials, period,'' Laimbeer said. Well then, has it changed the game any?
''Officials always change the game,'' he added.
Moving around the dressing room, the same questions were put to Adrian Dantley.
''You no longer can get away with the things you used to,'' said the Pistons' leading scorer. ''There were a certain amount of things the weakside official couldn't see. Now they got everything covered. Over all, it's best for the game.''
Isiah Thomas, the Piston playmaker, preferred only two officials.
''Sometimes they miss a call thinking the other guy is going to make it,'' said Thomas.
In the Knick dressing room, Coach Rick Pitino, liked the change.
''It was a long time in coming,'' he said. ''With so many great athletes out there, it was difficult for two officials to cover the court and see it all. The college game has come to the pros and you needed a third official because so many teams are going to trapping defenses.''
Trent Tucker, the Knick guard, said: ''You don't notice them out there. It's just the same as it was last year.''
Several big men felt the extra official has not reduced the physical nature of the N.B.A.
''There's not much difference from last year,'' said Buck Williams, the Nets' power forward, ''There's still a certain amount of pushing there. The league is making so much money now, I guess they needed something else to spend it on.''
Most people surveyed, however, approved of the change.
All of which makes Rod Thorn, the league's vice president for operations, happy.
''The game is the same,'' said Thorn. ''We're picking up some more contact away from the ball. It's not any longer than people feared it might be. As of last Sunday, the average regulation game ran 2 hours and 9 minutes, a minute longer than a year ago. Where we averaged 48.2 fouls a game last year, we are averaging 49.7 so far this season. There were four fights at this time a year ago, compared with five this season.
''The biggest thing was bringing in the 18 new officials. We needed additional youth. Seven of our officials last year were 53 years old and older.'' Dubious Achievement
While it was taking the Miami Heat 18 games to record their first victory, countless references were made to the Philadelphia 76ers, who began the 1972-73 season with 15 straight losses and ended it with 13 successive defeats. The 76ers finished with a 9-73 mark, the worst in N.B.A. history. In between, the 76ers also lost 20 in a row, which is also an N.B.A. record for futility.
And now 76ers' fans are hoping the Heat will make people forget that season.
One anonymous letter writer stated, ''There are a lot of us here rooting for Miami to make people forget there was even a 1972-73 Sixer team.''
At various stages of the 1972-73 season, the 76ers were 0-15, 2-21 3-24, 4-38, 5-58, 6-58, 7-59, 8-60, 9-60 and 9-73. Miami won last night, improving to 3-21.
Fred Carter, who led that team in scoring with an average of 20 points a game, remembers the season well.
''I was voted the most valuable player that season,'' said Carter, now a 76er assistant coach, recently. ''M.V.P. for what?'' Unique Reminder
On Dec. 10, the day after Frank Layden resigned as the Utah Jazz coach to become the team's president, Karl Malone decided in his own way to dedicate the season to the man who drafted and nutured him to stardom. With a purple marker, to conform to the Jazz colors, he wrote ''Frank'' on the heels of each of his size 15 white basketball shoes. . . . Malone's frequent trips to the free-throw line have helped him boost his average to 29.9 points a game, second best in the league behind Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls (35). Malone's 9.7 average on free throws are more than the scoring averages of 174 players in the league. . . . There could be several roster moves by Friday. Any player still on the payroll as of that date, must be paid for the remainder of the season, according the labor agreement between the league and its players. Knicks Take Show on Road
The Knicks (18-7) will try to take some of their Madison Square Garden magic on the road. They play their next three games in Atlanta (tonight), Chicago (Thursday) and Charlotte (Friday). The Knicks are 12-1 at home and 6-6 on the road. . . . Thurl Bailey of the Jazz is the scoring leader among the league's 24 players who come off the bench. The 6-11 Utah forward is averaging 21.1 points with Eddie Johnson of the Phoenix Suns (19.5), the runner-up.

The month of October ended on Hallowe'en,
With the Henday done, 4 billion in green.
Orange shirt day was a sight to be seen,
The Vader trial went bad.
Premier Notley wanted to trade for a pipeline
But the PM could not see that through his sight line
And she could do nothing about his carbon blight line
Jim Prentice will be missed.
Scary clowns in October in various places,
Blind spots on buses the union chases,
Dungarees fight cancer with guitars and a bassist.
Connor McDavid named Captain.
Wayne Gretzky on ice not quite as frisky,
He's now got a pub with wine and whiskey,
Parking near the arena can be quite risky.
$125 grand in fines?
Emergency Relief Services lease ran out,
Jason Maas did not want a mic on his mouth,
More security for council – what's that all about?
Mis reno's put back 30 years.
Should non-swimmers be made to wear a vest?
Should safe drug use sites be addressed?
Will those who get flu shots be medically blessed?
And that's what happened in October.
Let me know what you think.

Good luck selling it man! I hope you get what you need.
Yellow lights mean go faster!!!
And if anyone is interested please let me know ASAP. I have a confirmed offer from a local Subaru dealership that I'm most likely going to take if I don't sell the car to a private party in the next few days. I would much rather sell the car to an enthusiast than a delaership, especially when they are just going to mark the price up closer to $30k...

An inch will make a difference in the speedo reading. Since Subaru speedo's are already not known for their accuracy, I doubt it will make a huge difference.
I think the speedo can be recalibrated with a Cobb AP streetuner, but that is some bucks just to make it read right...unless you want more power, then it is more than worth it.
FYI...I currently run a Cobb DP with AP stage 2, with the stock catback exhaust. It is still whisper quiet on the highway, but there is a nice little burble from the exahust at low revs. With this setup, I've pulled on 2 STi's, who I assume were stock.

Early one morning in 1754, the stillness of Charlestown, New Hampshire, is shattered by shrill war whoops and the terror of an Indian raid. Young Miriam Willard, on a day which had promised new happiness, finds herself instead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the French and Indian War.
She endures a harrowing march north, a trail which ends with the waiting Indian gauntlet, and perhaps a life of slavery. Miriam and her companions finally reach Montreal, a city of shifting loyalties filled with the intrigue of war. Here, by a sudden twist of fortune, Miriam meets the prominent Du Quesne family, who introduce her to a life of luxury that she never could have imagined and that compel her to the most important decision of her life.

Early one morning in the year 1754 the stillness of Charlestown, New Hampshire, was shattered by shrill war whoops and the terror of an Indian raid. Young Miriam Willard, on a day which had promised new happiness, found herself instead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the French and Indian War.
It was a horrowing march north. Miriam could only force herself to the next stopping place, the next small portion of food, the next icy stream to be crossed. What waits at the end of the trail--besides an Indian quantlet and a life of slavery?About the Author:
"I was born in Melrose, Massachusetts, on November 21, 1908. I have lived all my life in New England, and though I love to travel I can't imagine ever calling any other place on earth home. Since I can't remember a time when I didn't intend to write, it is hard to explain why I took so long getting around to it in earnest. But the years seemed to go by very quickly. In 1936 I married Alden Speare and came to Connecticut. Not till both children were in junior high did I find time at last to sit down quietly with a pencil and paper. I turned naturally to the things which had filled my days and thoughts and began to write magazine articles about family living. Then one day I stumbled on a true story from New England history with a character who seemed to me an ideal heroine. Though I had my first historical novel almost by accident it soon proved to be an absorbing hobby." Elizabeth George Speare (1908-1994) won the 1959 Newbery Medal for THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND, and the 1962 Newbery Medal for THE BRONZE BOW.

This should be like your fusebox, I think
This should be like your fusebox, I think
Cheers gildersol. Different diagram to one I have seen!
Ill also post a pic of my fuse box later for you mate.
Unplugged fog lights and switched on ignition and fuse 22 blew again? Can anybody help?
You say you switched on ignition, but did you switch on the foglights. And did you try it with the relay out. Fuse 22 is not for the foglights, it's for the relay.
Sorry only switch on ignition not foglights aswell. Forgot to try it without relay will try it tomorrow too dark and I'm watching the football!
steve23002 (10-03-2009)
Is it the Liverpool game you're watching. never a pen but a good game and they deserve to be in front.
If I'm understanding this properly, you have to have the lights on before you can switch the fogs on?
If you had no lights on or fogs switched on and the fuse still blew then the problem won't be the relay. You will then have a problem somewhere between the fusebox and the main lightswitch.
Yes it was Liverpool (great game and result)! The fuse is blowing as soon as the igniton is switched on (no lights on). Just one other point every now and then the OBC gives the warning 'NUMBER PLATE LIGHT FAILURE' but the lights are OK, this is not a new fault one that as been there for awhile and is only happens now and then?? Don't Know if I am helping with this comment or making things difficult???
Its also worth checking the wires where they go into the boot.
Pull the rubber grommet back where the wires go into the bootlid and check for damaged and chafed wires.
This problem can cause all sorts of lighting faults. It can also affect the locking in the future too. Very common problem on E36's
First job I did when I got the last year! Only taped them up will untape them and have good look at the wires? Is it worth unplugging relay and fitting new fuse or not??

Judge: No bond for Marine charged with infant's murder
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - An Onslow County judge has issued no bond for the Camp Lejeune Marine charged with murder in the death of an 11-month-old child. The judge also said the Marine will be appointed an attorney due to the severity of the crime.
In addition to an open count of murder, 23-year-old LCpl. Matthew Scott Krause, of Maysville, has been charged with negligent child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, and abuse and neglect, according to the Onslow County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said emergency workers went to a home at 113 Spring Branch Ln. in Maysville on July 28 and found the 11-month-old infant unresponsive. The baby was in the care of Krause, the mother's boyfriend, according to investigators.
The infant was taken to the Naval Hospital aboard Camp Lejeune before being transferred to Vidant Medical Center, where the child died on July 29, deputies said.
The N.C. Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy and on Tuesday, officials said the infant suffered injuries consistent with "Shaken Baby Syndrome."
Sheriff Ed Brown says most of his cases like this stem from the caretaker getting angry with the baby's crying.
"The baby has no other way to communicate, except to cry, and when they cry, they probably got a problem that with a little bit of patience, you can resolve it, whether it's hunger, wet diaper, rash or something," Brown said.
Brown says an arrest was made more than two months later because investigators were waiting for Zander's autopsy reports with an official cause of death. He says medical examiners have been thorough in their investigation.
"The medical examiners are going to be the ones who will be on the stand testifying, and they're going to make sure they've got their evidence right before they give the go ahead for criminal charges, and that is what has happened," Brown said.
Krause, who had been in the Brig aboard Camp Lejeune since the death of the infant, was turned over to the Onslow County Sheriff's Office to be charged, investigators said. His first court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
The Onslow County Sheriff's Office worked with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service on this case.'
"When it comes to somebody who has no defense whatsoever, then we in law enforcement and the medical examiners, when something happens to them, have to be their defenders," Brown said.

Lady Gaga Won't Be a Bratz Doll
Isaac Larian, who founded MGA Entertainment, the company responsible for the hyper-sexy Bratz dolls, knows a thing or two about marketing and controversy and image-making. So does pop music star Lady Gaga. A line of Bratz dolls in her image must have seemed so promising. Instead, the dolls are in limbo, and the once-happy relationship has turned adversarial. MGA is suing Lady Gaga and her representatives for more than $10 million for failing to approve the dolls it had designed for release this summer.
Representatives for Lady Gaga and her merchandising company, Bravado (a division of Vivendi's Universal Music Group) call the lawsuit ill-conceived and meritless. "Lady Gaga is confident she will prevail," her publicist, Amanda Silverman, wrote in an e-mail. Oliver Herzfeld, the chief legal officer at Beanstalk, a business that brokers these types of deals, says that such public disputes are rare. He also says that Lady Gaga's contract should have given her almost all the power. "It's not a partnership. Her brand is very valuable," Herzfeld says. "There should be a lot of safeguards. It should be lopsided."
According to the lawsuit, which was filed in New York State Supreme Court on July 24, Bravado approached MGA at the end of 2011 about creating a line of Lady Gaga dolls, some of which would include sound chips that would play her music. MGA's suit says the company regarded this as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" and agreed to "advance a whopping $1 million to Bravado," the most it says it ever paid a licenser. MGA also promised to pay a royalty rate of 15 percent of the wholesale prices to Bravado. MGA estimated that it could sell $28 million worth of Lady Gaga dolls in the fall.
About a third of the way through the 32-page complaint, the reading gets fun.
In March, Bobby Campbell, vice president of the Atom Factory, Lady Gaga's management company, supposedly reviewed samples of the dolls and sent a note to MGA with some feedback. He said that Lady Gaga loved the dolls but wanted to make a few changes. "Facial structure should be more supermodel-like—think a prettier version of Gaga," he wrote. Also: "Let's discuss how the removable heads will work." He sent another note about the outfits they wanted to move forward with or explore; among them were the Born This Way zombie outfit and the Monster Ball fire bra and panties.
A month later, with no further word from Lady Gaga's team, Larian contends that he sent a note to Campbell and Tom Bennett, Bravado's chief executive. "Guys! This is getting ridiculous and beyond unreasonable. At least we need to pick up the samples today so we can show buyers. We have paid $1 million for these rights. Please respond." Bennett did respond this time, writing, "Please be patient. … We love you, we love your company, we love the product. … Believe in us as we believe in you."
But apparently Lady Gaga had other ideas. On April 23, Bennett supposedly called Larian to tell him that she wanted to delay production and shipping until her new album was released in 2013. "It makes more sense to do this when she's able to approve a doll that she's happy with and able to support with promotion," wrote Troy Carter, the chief executive of Atom Factory, to Larian in early June. Larian said that MGA would lose credibility with retailers if the dolls weren't available when he had promised. Then he filed the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga kicked off her Born This Way Ball in late April in Seoul and will end her world tour in Cape Town in December. Her perfume, Fame, is still scheduled for release in September.
