On April 29, 2014, the Mexican Congress approved a new Federal Law on Economic Competition (the "New Law") and, also, amended the Federal Criminal Code. Its publication is pending.
The New Law will become effective 45 calendar days following its publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation.
The need to amend the legislation on economic competition derives from the constitutional amendment of June 2013, which provided the general guidelines on this matter and created a new constitutional autonomous entity, the Federal Economic Competition Commission ("COFECE", as per its acronym in Spanish), and also transferred to the new telecommunications regulatory entity, the Federal Telecommunications Institute ("IFETEL", as per its acronym in Spanish), the authority to regulate all competition matters related to telecommunications and broadcasting industries. However, the New Law goes far beyond from what is necessary in order to implement such constitutional amendment, granting some discretional authority to both COFECE and IFETEL. Since the provisions of the New Law will govern the performance of both COFECE and IFETEL on competition matters, we will refer hereinafter to both entities as the "Competition Authority".
Barriers to Competition. The New Law creates the concept of "barriers to competition", which does not necessarily imply unlawful acts nor the performance of monopolistic practices or prohibited concentrations, but, in general, existing market restrictions that interfere with its proper functioning, and empowers the Competition Authority, after following a new procedure created for such purpose, to adopt measures aiming to remove said barriers and even order a divestiture of assets. Regarding any legal statutes or regulations that are determined to be unduly limiting or distorting free market competition, the Competition Authority will only issue a recommendation to the competent authority, and the latter will "determine whatever it deems appropriate", in order to avoid invading the jurisdictional scope of other authorities.
Essential Inputs. Also, the New Law introduces the "essential inputs"[1] concept, similar, but not identical, to the Anglo concept of "essential facilities". To determine the existence of an essential input, the Competition Authority will take into consideration the number of economic agents that control the input, the feasibility of reproducing it, its indispensability for the provision of goods or services in a market, and the circumstances under which the economic agent or agents came to control it. In case of determining the existence of an essential input, the Competition Authority will be empowered to regulate access to it, to establish regulations on prices and rates for that input, and even their technical and quality specifications.
Failing to comply with the regulation on essential inputs, or failing to comply an order to remove a barrier to competition, may result in the imposition of fines up to 10% of the economic agent's annual taxable income.
Formal Opinions. The economic agents may ask the Competition Authority formal opinions on free concurrency and competition matters, with regards to new matters or those that are unresolved. The opinions so issued will have binding effect to the CompetitionAuthority and will be published in their respective website.
The Competition Authority will have its own investigative body, endowed with certain autonomy (as it will be appointed and removed by the Board of the Competition Authority) and in charge of carrying out the investigation phase (the "Investigating Authority").
The Competition Authority is no longer obliged to publish in the Official Gazette of the Federation an extract of the resolution initiating an investigation, which will facilitate conducting dawn raids. It can also require from the staff of the visited economic agent, or from their representatives, explanations on facts, information, or documents related to the subject matter and purpose of the visit.
Under the New Law, the Competition Authority will have broader powers in the verification visits ("dawn raids"), since they are not limited to review information and documents associated with the subject of the visitation order. Also, if the visited economic agent does not allow access to its premises or does not provide the information and documents requested or if there is opposition to the visit, the facts attributed to the economic agent being investigated may be presumed by the Competition Authority to be true.
Also, the statute of limitation that the Investigating Authority has to initiate an investigation is doubled from 5 to 10 years, counted from the date that the prohibited concentration took place or the unlawful conduct ceased.
According to the Federal Law of Economic Competition currently in force, the exchange of information among competitors constitutes an absolute monopolistic practice (per se violation), when its purpose or effect is price fixing. The New Law extends the scope of this provision to include as a conduct constituting an absolute monopolistic practice, any exchange of information among competitors whose purpose or effect is the commission of any absolute monopolistic practice, for example, segment markets, or coordinate bids in tenders.
According to the New Law, sales below cost will be considered as relative monopolistic practices (those subject to the rule of reason analysis), even if the same can be occasional, unlike the current legislation which limits the scope of such practice to "systematic" sales.
Also, the New Law defines two new relative monopolistic practices:
Also, regarding relative monopolistic practices, the New Law retakes the concept of "joint-substantial-power" or "joint-dominance" that two or more independent economic agents may have on the same market, evidently without any coordination or understanding between them. As it has been pointed out since its introduction in 2011, this concept deviates from international practice and, given the difficulties in determining it, creates a considerable level of legal uncertainty for economic agents.
Finally, for purposes of determining the existence of a relative monopolistic practice, anti-competitive effects that such conduct may have, will be considered not only in the relevant market, but also in related markets.
The main changes that the New Law provides on concentrations matters are:
The New Law establishes that it may be ordered to an economic agent to divest assets, rights, shares or partnership interests in two cases:
In order to determine the existence of barriers to competition or essential inputs, the Competition Authority shall carry out a procedure, which is entitled to initiate ex oficio or by request of the President of the United Mexican States. Before the investigation phase, which duration is limited, the Competition Authority shall issue a preliminary decision and shall grant the interested economic agents the right to a hearing. Once the file is integrated, it shall issue a resolution that can include (i) recommendations to other authorities so they can determine the proper corrective action that are entitled to implement within the scope of their attributions; (ii) eliminate the barriers to competition, (iii) determine the existence of essential inputs or guidelines to regulate the access, pricing or tariffs, and specifications of the good or service to which they are applied, depending on the case, as well as the respective timeframe for their application, or (iv) the divestiture of assets of the interested economic agent, in the required ratio in order to eliminate the anticompetitive effects. The divestiture will only "proceed when other corrective measures are not sufficient to solve the identified competition problem".
In all the mentioned cases, the Competition Authority will not impose the above measures when the economic agent demonstrates, in the pertaining procedure, that barriers to competition and essential inputs generate profits on efficiency and favorably affect the competition process, exceeding their possible anticompetitive effects, and result in an improvement to consumer welfare.
The criminal sanction for officers of economic agents that incur into an absolute monopolistic practice is increased to 5 to 10 years of imprisonment and a fine from 1,000 to 10,000 fine-days.
Criminal action may be brought against an allegedly responsible, even though it still has not been determined guilty, in which case the administrative procedure before the Competition Authority shall be processed in parallel to the criminal proceedings.
Likewise, imprisonment of 1 to 3 years, and a fine from 500 to 5,000 fine-days, can be imposed, to whom in the course of a verification visit, destroys, obstructs or disturbs documents, images or files, in order to divert, obstruct or prevent the investigation of a possible unlawful conduct.
Considering to the changes contained in the New Law, we advise to carefully review the business practices of the companies and to intensify the training of their staff, particularly in the case of sales personnel or anyone who is in contact with competitors, in order to train them on the scope of the new provisions on competition matters and, in particular, on the limitations in communications with competitors, inter alia.
Also, we suggest to review the agreements executed in order to detect if any provision may be deemed as anticompetitive.
Likewise, it will be necessary to plan well in advance any concentration transaction that must be notified before the Competition Authority, due to the longer term granted to it for issuing its resolution.

[1] That the New Law defines as "Any structural characteristic of the market, event or act of the Economic Agents that has the purpose or effect of preventing the access of competitors or limit their ability to compete in markets; that impede or distort the process of free competition and concurrency, as well as the legal provisions issued by any level of government that unduly impede or distort the process of free competition and currency".
Your free resource for obtaining labor and employment law information worldwide.
Altra Industrial Motion Inc. has multiple locations in the U.S., as well as Central America, Europe, and Asia. The Employment Law Alliance has proved to be a great asset in assisting us in dealing with employment issues and matters in such diverse venues as Mexico, Australia, and Spain. We have obtained excellent results using the ELA network for matters ranging from a multi-state review of employment policies to assisting with individual employment issues in a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
In one instance, we were faced with an employment dispute with a former associate in Mexico that had the potential for substantial economic exposure. The matter had been pending for over a year, and we were not confident in the employment advice we had been receiving. I obtained a referral to the ELA counsel in Mexico, who was able to obtain a favorable resolution of the dispute in only a few days. Based on our experiences with the ELA, we would not hesitate to use its many resources for future employment law needs.
In my career I have been a practicing attorney, counsel to the Governor of Maine, and CEO of a major public utility. I have worked with many lawyers in many settings. When the American University in Bulgaria needed help with employment litigation in federal court in Syracuse, New York, we turned to Pierce Atwood, the ELA member we knew and trusted in Maine, for a referral. We were extremely pleased with the responsiveness and high quality of service we received from Bond Schoeneck & King, the ELA's firm in upstate New York. I would not hesitate to recommend the ELA to any employer.

I really enjoyed the Conducting an Effective Internal Investigation in the United States webinar. We are in the midst of a rather delicate employee relations issue in California right now and the discussion helped me tremendously. It also reinforced things that you tend to forget if you don't do these investigations frequently. So, many, many thanks to the Employment Law Alliance for putting that webinar together. It was extremely beneficial.
Lynn Clayton
Vice President, Human Resources
I recently participated in the ELA-sponsored webinar on the Employee Free Choice Act. I was most impressed with that presentation. It was extremely helpful and very worthwhile. I have also been utilizing the ELA's online Global Employer Handbook. This compliance tool is absolutely terrific.
I am familiar with several other products that purport to provide up-to- date employment law information and I believe that this resource is superior to other similar compliance manuals. I am delighted that the ELA provides this free to its members' clients.
Employment Law Alliance (ELA) has provided Boyd Coffee Company with a highly valued connection to resources, important information and learning. With complex operations and employees working in approximately 20 states, we are continually striving to keep abreast of specific state laws, many of which vary from state to state. We have participated in the ELA web seminars and have found the content very useful. We appreciate the ease, cost effectiveness and quality of the content and presenters offered by these web seminars. The Global Employer Handbook has provided our company with a very helpful overview of legal issues in the various states in which we operate, and the network of attorneys has helped us manage issues that have arisen in states other than where our Roastery and corporate headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
As an international operating outsourcing and consulting supplier Capgemini has used firms of the Employment Law Alliance in Central Europe. We were always highly satisfied with the quality of employment law advice and the responsiveness. I can really recommend the ELA lawyers.
As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.
Stephen J. Hirschfeld
As the Vice President for Litigation & Associate General Counsel for my company, I need to ensure that we have a team of top-notch employment lawyers in place in every jurisdiction where we do business. And I want to be confident that those lawyers know our business so they don't have to reinvent the wheel when a new legal matter arises. With more than 3400 stores and 35,000 employees operating in all 50 U.S. states and across Canada, we rely on the ELA to partner with us to help accomplish our objectives. I have been delighted with the consistent high quality of the work performed by ELA lawyers. I encourage other in-house counsel to use their services, as well.
Ingram Micro is the world's largest technology distributor, providing sales, marketing, and logistics services for the IT industry around the globe. With over 13,000 employees working throughout the U.S. and in 35 international countries, we need employment lawyers who we can count on to ensure global legal compliance. Our experience with many multi-state and multi-national law firms is that their employment law services are not always a high priority for them, and many do not have experts in many of their offices. The ELA has assembled an excellent team of highly skilled employment lawyers, wherever and whenever I need them, and they have proven to be an invaluable resource to our company.
Our company, Konami Gaming, Inc., is growing rapidly in a very diverse and highly regulated industry. We are aggressively entering new markets outside the domestic U.S., including Canada and South America. I have had the recent opportunity to utilize the services provided by the ELA. The legal advice was both responsive and professional. Most of all, the entire process was seamless since our Nevada attorney coordinated the services and legal advice requested. I look forward to working with the ELA in the future, as it serves as a great resource to the legal community.
Jennifer Martinez
Vice President, Human Resources
Until recently, I was unaware of the ELA's existence. We have subsidiaries and affiliates throughout the United States, as well as in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. When a recent legal issue arose in Texas, our long-time Nevada counsel, who is a member of the ELA, suggested that this matter be handled by his ELA colleague in Dallas. We are very pleased with the quality and timeliness of services provided by that firm, and we are excited to now have the ELA as an important asset to help us address employment law issues worldwide.
The ELA network has been immensely important to our company in helping us address an array of human resources challenges around the world. I strongly encourage H.R. executives who have employees located in many different jurisdictions to utilize the ELA's unparalleled expertise and geographic coverage.
Stacy Murphy
Former Senior Director of Human Resources
As the General Counsel for a company with 6,500 employees operating across the U.S. and in eight countries, it is critical that I have top quality lawyers on the ground where we do business. The ELA is an indispensable resource. It has taken the guesswork out of finding the best employment counsel wherever we have a problem.
Jill K. Bond
Senior Vice President/General Counsel, Shared Services and Benefits
We have direct sales and service offices all over the U.S., but have not necessarily had the need in the past for assistance with legal work in every state where we have a business presence. From time to time, we suddenly find ourselves facing a legal issue in a state where we have no outside counsel relationship. It has been a real benefit to know that the ELA has assembled such an impressive team of experts throughout the U.S. and overseas.
A few years ago, we faced a very tough discrimination lawsuit in Mississippi. We had never had to retain a lawyer there before. I was absolutely delighted with the Mississippi ELA firm. We received an excellent result. They will no doubt handle all of our employment law matters in Mississippi in the future. I have also obtained the assistance of several other ELA firms around the U.S. and have received the same outstanding service. The ELA is a tremendous resource for our company.
Our affiliated companies have used the Employment Law Alliance in connection with numerous acquisitions, and have always been extremely pleased with our ability to obtain the highest quality legal advice on due diligence issues from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We have found the Employment Law Alliance firms to be not only first rate with respect to their legal advice but also responsive and timely in assisting us with federal and state law issues critical to our due diligence efforts. We consider the Employment Law Alliance to be an important part of our team.
We have partnered with many ELA firms on the development and execution of case management strategies with very positive results. We have been very pleased with the legal advice and counsel provided by the law firms we have utilized who are affiliated with the Employment Law Alliance. The ELA firms we have worked with are customer focused, responsive, and thorough in their approach to handling labor and employment law matters.
Elizabeth Daly
Assistant General Counsel
Sanmina-SCI has facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world. Our customers expect that we will provide them with the highest quality and most sophisticated services in the marketplace. We have that same expectation for the lawyers with whom we do business. With operations in 17 countries, we need to be certain that we have a team of lawyers working together to address our employment law needs worldwide. The ELA has delivered exactly what it promised-- seamless and consistent high quality services delivered in each locale around the globe. It has quickly become a key asset for our human resources department.
We own, manage, and franchise hotels throughout the U.S. and in more than 90 countries. With more than 145,000 employees worldwide, ensuring that we comply with the complex web of local labor and employment laws in every one of these jurisdictions is a daunting task. The Employment Law Alliance has served as an important resource for us and we have benefited greatly from its expertise and long reach. When a legal dispute or issue has arisen in some far-flung place, Employment Law Alliance lawyers have always provided responsive, practical, and cost-effective assistance.
Wilmington Trust has used the ELA to locate firms in California, Washington State, Georgia, and Europe. Our experience with the ELA lawyers with whom we have worked has always been one of complete satisfaction and prompt, practical advice.

Release Date: 2012 |
Album Rating: 3.5Just a quick review for a nice album. I will hopefully get back to writing more prominently soon, since I've been real busy in 2012 thus far.
EDIT: and yes, I will fix the little slip-ups and typos as soon as the editing function is up and running again
Did you really just review black metal? Am I reading this correctly?
Album Rating: 3.5Yes Simon, you are not mistaken.
Does this sound like Archgoat?
Digging: Vreid - I Krig
Album Rating: 3.5Not really, the riffing my be similar in parts, but this is a lot, lot less dirty. The production is quite clean on this.
EDIT: Here's a preview track for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffu4kD5mDZQ
Sorry for bumping down Magnus, have another pos of mine. Probably not for me etc. etc.
Album Rating: 3.5Thanks Nag and don't worry about it, I'm more than happy to be bumped down if it presents me the opportunity to read a good review ;)
I guess I just don't get Black Metal. Gave this a shot and couldn't get into it at all. Some of the riffing is pretty cool, but the vocals were atrocious. The woman singing over the death metal-esque growl on Stones Are Eternal sounded pretty bad and the lead singer's vocals, at least i thought, sounded pretty damn bad.
Really good review Magnus, I'm glad to see you still post here. I've never listened to this band before but all the references to death metal will definitely have me checking this out.
Album Rating: 3.5Thanks Brandon and I'm still around man, not as prominently as I was a few years ago, sure, but I'm still alive and kicking .

Written on: 04/01/2014 by Reviewer1988 (1 review written)
I paid extra for Saturday delivery (I ordered several days before the cut-off too) and wasted all day waiting for my delivery. It never came. Now I have the prospect of trying to retrieve my cash. A refund after 30 days (provided they don't forget) is not good enough. I resent supporting the cash-flow of such an abysmal business. Processing a card refund takes seconds.

Maria Sudibyo
Dear, Forgiveness - Poem by Maria Sudibyo
It's hurt the fight that happened
But it's more painful the words we don't say to another
Dear, forgiveness
Is it still a long time to meet you once more?
Can we not come back together?
Or could I see you before everything is over?
Dear, forgiveness
Is it hard to understand and give a chance?
Could I pull you out from the dark world of hate?
Or are you still blind with your own twisted mind?
Don't pity yourself
Don't plea with your wailing voices
Dear, forgiveness
Does my heart already turn into stone?
I will not look, I will not be moved
Since I know the tear is just a show from you
Dear, forgiveness
I will not comfort, I will turn my back
I don't give a damn anymore
Because I find this ugly gaping wound is stretched further
I will give you all flower, shower you with undivided attention
I'll follow what you want, pay how much the price
Dear, forgiveness
Should I right away tell you that I'm sorry?
Should I raise the mood with something unrelated?
Or will it be better if I stay away and wait the storm gone?
Dear, forgiveness
Is there something unknown be done wrong?
Should I lose myself to bitterness?
Or must I endure this childish game of pride?
The doubt, the anger, then remark
The shout, the cry then make up
Dear, forgiveness
Can you see that it is the same old story?
How long the peace will last till another war is started?
Have you not been tired of all of these things?
Dear, forgiveness
Does it still have any use?
Is there something that will be changed?
Or will we round about roundabout?
It is choked in my throat
It curses my foolish and careless mistake
Dear, forgiveness
Do I still have a right to call you my friend?
Have you already stopped believe in me?
I almost could not stand the guilt that consumed me
Dear, forgiveness
Could you take this heavy weight?
Could we mend this broken ship?
How I yearn to hear the redemption if only you open your eyes
It is too late to take back the lie
Why now should you kneel and beg?
Dear, forgiveness
What are you trying to gain with this apology?
Is there anything left other than the blame?
What about this grief and betrayal I feel?
Dear, forgiveness
Do you really have any sense of regret?
Can you admit the fault and mean it well?
Or do you just forget it tomorrow?

Tennis's top stars should be concentrating on Wimbledon, which got under way Monday, but the big-name players can't help keeping an eye on the World Cup football action in Brazil.
The Championships are a football-free zone: the All England Club refuses to show matches on the big screens inside the grounds, while in 1996 America's Jensen brothers, who wanted to play doubles in England football shirts, were torn off a strip by the tournament organisers.
Nonetheless, the World Cup is the talk of the locker room, according to defending champion Andy Murray.
With England crashing out of the World Cup early, Britain's hopes of sporting success now rest on the Scot.
Indeed, the very first press conference question Murray faced at Wimbledon this year was: "How does it feel to have the hopes of a despondent nation on your shoulders?"
Murray replied simply: "Wow." "I enjoy it when the World Cup is on. It gives me something to do in the evenings. I don't have to listen to people talking about me playing at Wimbledon," the champion said.
"When you walk into the locker room most mornings, that's what almost all of the players are talking about," he said of the World Cup.
With champions Spain suffering a humiliating early exit, Murray said the Spanish players had been "a little bit quiet" in the changing rooms.
Rafael Nadal said Spain's shock defeats did not make him more motivated to restore national sporting pride by winning a third Wimbledon crown.
"I am sad. Everybody in Spain is sad for what happened in the World Cup," the Mallorcan said.
"But my mentality, my motivation was going to be always at the top to play here at Wimbledon."
With Serbia not taking part, Novak Djokovic said he was supporting neighbouring countries like Bosnia, Croatia and Greece.
"Hopefully some of them will pass the group stage and get in the knock-out phase," the 2011 champion said.
"Half of the planet is watching the World Cup now. I'm following the matches."
Serena Williams said she was watching at least one or two games per day.
"Excited for the US. Obviously I'm rooting for the US," the five-time Wimbledon winner said.
"I thought the fight that the US male team has was just really great." Meanwhile Maria Sharapova said she had been tucked up in bed before Russia's opening match kicked off, though her entourage has been glued to the screens.
"Every one of my team members is from a different nation, so I've been able to watch their games. Germany, Holland, Japan," said the 2004 champion.
But don't ask Sharapova for her opinions on Russia's players. "I'm no expert in football. I'll tell you that straight off," she said. While the players are watching the World Cup, there is no such luck for Wimbledon fans.
An All England Club spokesman said the last time they showed football on the big screens was in 1996 -- "so very consistent since then".
England, hosting the European Championships, reached the semi-finals that year as the nation -- plus even the Jensen brothers -- was gripped with football fervour.
Not so this year, when England have gone crashing out before even completing their group games.
Dave Jackson, 33, who came over from Belfast to join the queue for Wimbledon tickets on Sunday night, said the line was "so much busier" than 2010, when the last World Cup was on and England reached the second round.
"Before, it would have been tennis fans," he said.

Eight held in immigration crackdown
Eight people have been arrested during an immigration crackdown in Belfast and Co Fermanagh.
Three Chinese men aged 25, 34 and 47 along with a 34-year-old woman were detained during a Home Office raid at the Hong Kong take-away on Belmore Street, Enniskillen.
Two other men aged 27 and 43 were also arrested when immigration officers swooped on the China City takeaway at Forthill Street in the town.
The UK Border Agency said inquiries established they had been working in Northern Ireland illegally.
The businesses could now face a fine of up to £10,000 if they fail to prove adequate pre-employment checks were carried out.
Meanwhile, two other men - a 30-year-old from Algeria and a 55-year-old Nigerian - were arrested after trying to fly from Belfast International Airport after being found to be in the country illegally.
All those arrested are being held at a detention centre in Larne, Co Antrim awaiting deportation.
Mike Golden of the UK Border Agency, said: "Foreign nationals who are in this country illegally should be in no doubt that they will be found, arrested and removed from the UK.
"We are determined to crack down on immigration offenders and anyone found living or working here illegally is liable to be detained and removed."

With Wisconsin's 2013 class nearly filled, the Badgers have their sights set on 2014, and they added a major piece to the puzzle Thursday.
Sturgis (Mich.) 2014 quarterback Chance Stewart committed to Wisconsin, making the decision early Thursday morning after recently visiting the campus for the fourth time.
"I always had a good vibe about Wisconsin and Tuesday I went for a visit and took my mom for the first time," Stewart said. "It seemed like the place I wanted to play. I wanted to commit on the spot while talking to Coach B [Bret Bielema], but my parents said to wait."
Stewart did not wait long.
"I woke up (Thursday) morning and knew I wanted to be a Badger and couldn't be happier," he said.
Quarterback is a position teams usually fill fast, but even Stewart is setting the pace when it comes to an early commitment. Stewart did not feel like there was any reason to hold off on a decision any longer.
"It felt like the best place for me. I loved the place and love the coaches, so why wait?" said Stewart, who was offered following a camp earlier this summer. "I want to surround myself with those kinds of people, so I said why wait, and now I can focus on the next two years of high school football."
A 6-foot-5, 210-pound quarterback, Stewart fits the mold of the traditional pocket-passer and what Wisconsin wants in a signal-caller. Stewart said he is not going to beat too many people with his legs.
And because he is not much of a scrambler, Stewart is happy to commit to Wisconsin, which is known for consistently having one of college football's biggest offensive lines.
"You're going to have huge offensive lineman," Stewart said, "the tops in the nation guarding you every Saturday. What's not to like about that?"
The Badgers already have one offensive lineman committed to the 2014 class. George Panos (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead), a 6-4, 290-pound guard, was Wisconsin's first 2014 pledge.

I appreciate that this might be outwith the experience of the majority of STW members........Wife hits the big Five-O in a couple of weeks. She asked me what I was arranging as a celebration. Assuming that wimmim prefer not to acknowledge their half century I indicated that I hadn't planned anything special. Bad move! Cue hissy fit, tears, going in the huff etc etc. Anyway now that the meat & two veg have survived the knife attack I'm still no further forward. This may be my last ever posting unless I come up with something appropriate. Any advice / suggestions for an acceptable celebration ???
Chat Forum
Irate wife problem
That sounds like the very definition of a no win situation.
Leave her for a newer model
Oviously organise a Mountain bike weekend away with her, she'd love that!!
You better empty the knife draw
Get her a huge cake in the shape of 100/2. She'll love that. Then get her a card contratulating her on her half century.
Then run.
Does she want a party type thing or something just for you two? How much you willing to spend? Flight in a hot air balloon might be nice?
suprise party
invite friends and family
markenduro...that's the kind of "out the box" thinking I'm looking for. Now all I have to do is find some young nubette looking for an old bloke with hardly any hair and a big wobbly bit around the waist. Brilliant
How long have you been married to this woman? I only ask, as if she's got to 50, perhaps you may know her likes/dislikes by now? Did you not think to ask a couple of months ago?
stumpy01...Cake's a good idea. Not willing to spend much although I suspect if I hired the Lowry Hotel in Manc. for the evening and invited all the friends & family it would be a solution. As I said not willing to spend much. And that's not because I'm Scottish.
nickc......Been engaged for 34 years and have two kids. Even after that time I haven't got a clue how she works
engaged for 34 yrs? you should just marry her? surprise wedding?
Does she have life insurance and have you been on a biking holiday?
ilovetoridebikes...This is just where it gets stupid !!!I haven't decided if I want to marry her. I want to keep my options open
roper...Yes and yes. What are you thinking....A tall cliff?????
surprise party in the local curry house. It worked for mine tho if she has told you she wants a party you are gubbed
Makes you look a tad stoopid, no?
After 34 years, you've no idea how the person you've spent the most time with clicks? No wonder the divorce rate is so high in this country.
Re-enforces what I read in that mid-life crisis thread though.
take her to a
poshreasonable restaurant for a slap-upadequate meal
then meet up with friends and family at
her favourite pubthe local for some champagne and cocktailsbeer and scratchings
scottishcyclocross....That was the best I could come up with myself. All curry houses in England are by definition crap unfortunately so local is not an option. A weekend in Glasgow perhaps, book the Shish Mahal for 20 invite a few friends & family. And possibly a visit to Ae on the way back south.
nickc... if there were more like me the divorce rate wouldn't be very high actually
at least get her a very nice (expensive ) present if you cant be bothered to organise her a party or do her a favour and just leave her if you've been with her for 34 years with 2 kids and not considering marrying, keeping your options open whats that about lol
I'm pretty sure my wife would be irate too if she found out i'd been engaged to someone for 34 yrs and had two kids with them.
Can you get someone to look after juniors pallywally?
If so ,take her away somewhere. A weekend ( if funds allow), or a night in a good hotel, wine and decent food. Flowers waiting for her in the room. You know the sort of thing.
Don't however book a male stripper. She may have a heart attack.
Bunnyhop...I guess that's Plan B. Leave the junior ally's with the relatives and bugger off somewhere nice. I know a cracking bothy up in Glen Carron
Why not treat her to some breast implants?
New Washing Machine
make her a cup cake with a ring in it, ask her to marry you, (hope she doesn't try and eat it breaking teeth)
go to yha near coast pembrokshire is nice, beach drift wood fire, rug, bottle of wine, watch sun go down - ask her to marry you.
Failing that go out get drunk come home bladdered, get in bed say will you marry me piss yourself
Chances are she'll take any of these options (well maybe not the last) and will cheer her up a bit.
Take her to a cheap, tacky hotel and go out for a bike ride! She'd love that!
Breast implants are the best suggestion yet!!!!!!! Roper has cracked it!!
Get her a new bike :o)
And breast implants :o)
Surprise party... then, remind her of her hissy fit and say "Well, I couldn't tell you could I?". Cue, well, anything you want in adoration / apology etc
How about Base jumping? Gets the blood coursing through the veins again.
Whatever you do the mould has been cast be afraid be very afraid and sleep with one eye open.
34 years and you still have not made your mind up no chance deciding on her birthday then have you...and you make my 15 years [now married]look positively wirlwind.
Seriously do what you want/she would like as she clearly accepts you as you are.
My vote is with the proposal proposal.

Glenn Beck Reveals New Health Problems, Says He Could Not Move Arms for Almost a Minute
Conservative political pundit Glenn Beck revealed new health problems to his radio show listeners earlier this week.
Beck, 49, already suffers from macular dystrophy that may lead to his eventual blindness, and in the past has shared that his hands and feet go numb from time to time, reports Beck's media network, The Blaze.
But on Wednesday, Dec. 12, Beck woke up and discovered he was unable to move his arms.
"I woke up from a dead sleep and it was like, you know how your arms get when they're dead asleep and you can't move them?" he said. "Well, they weren't asleep, they just weren't working."
Beck asked his wife, Tania, if she could help him.
"I said to my wife — this is the first time this has happened to me — 'Honey, can you move my arms for me, please?'" he recounted, adding that his arm paralysis lasted for "about a minute."
Although he has sought professional medical help, Beck said he has found little success.
"I have this weird thing that doctors have been trying to figure out for a long time," he said. "And the doctor just said, 'Stop. Stop looking. It's not going to kill you, it's just going to make your life miserable. So let's just stop.'"
Beck's revelation astonished his co-workers, who could not understand his seemingly blasé attitude.
"I came in and Joe said to me, 'Why are you late?' And I said, 'My arms didn't work.' And he said, 'You're so cavalier about it.' And I said, 'What are you going to do about it?'" Beck relayed matter-of-factly. "Oh well; boo-hoo; cry me a river; move on with your life."
The media personality said that it was not worth it to dwell on his problems.
"I don't want to hear about your problems, because I've got a stack of them and so does everybody else around me," he said. "Tell me about your struggles, and let's get through them together. That's when life is worth living. Let's live."

Knowledge and markets
An economy is a coordinated system of distributed knowledge. Economic evolution occurs as knowledge grows and the structure of the system changes. This paper is about the role of markets in this process. Traditionally, the theory of markets has not been a central feature of evolutionary economics. This seems to be due to the orthodox view of markets as information-processing mechanisms for finding equilibria. But in economic evolution markets are actually knowledge-structuring mechanisms. What then is the relation between knowledge, information, markets and mechanisms? I argue that an evolutionary theory of markets, in the manner of Loasby (1999), requires a clear formulation of these relations. I suggest that a conception of knowledge and markets in terms of a graphical theory of complex systems furnishes precisely this.

An entry-level roadster based on a front-wheel drive platform is planned by the German based automaker, as the model in question is said to hit the market in 2016.
BMW will develop a new entry-level roadster, with front-wheel drive, as the model in question will be hitting the market over the next couple of years. The vehicle, which will probably be named the Z2, has been rumored for a lot of years now but it seems that it's currently a possibility as the company wants to expand its lineup and to offer more affordable vehicles.
The sad part is that the upcoming BMW Z2 will be riding on a front-wheel drive platform, the same one used on the 2014 MINI Cooper, and it will be the second vehicle with FWD made by BMW after the 2-Series Active Tourer. The future German roadster will probably compete with models such as the popular Mazda MX-5, in its future generation and rumors are saying that it might be offered in an all-wheel drive option too. It remains unknown for the moment what engines it will use, but chances are they will be small 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder petrol burners. More details on the BMW Z2 will be announced close to its launch.

GOSFORD All Blacks coach Matt Watts is urging his players to use their Oxfordshire Shield victory as a springboard.
Watts's side put up a strong defensive performance before edging out Chipping Norton in a kicking competition at Iffley Road.
But inconsistent league form means Gosford will finish at least 19 points adrift of the BB&O Premier Division's top six.
Having held third-placed Chippy to an 11-11 draw then pipping them in the sudden-death decider, Watts believes Gosford should be doing better.
"It is a shame that we don't do that more often," he said.
"We should be pushing into the top half of the league next year.
"There has been a lot of hard work and emotion put in trying to make Gosford a bit more professional.
"Maybe this could be a stepping stone for next season."
Watts added: "Their fly half, Sam Jackson, showed a whole lot of guts to kick that last penalty after struggling beforehand.
"He deserves a lot of credit for that."


text: I'm wondering if anyone still has this pattern with the diagram of the layout. I'm in the process of actually finishing this quilt. I've looked through my quilting notebooks and cannot find this pattern. I know this is the pattern because all the little zip loc bags with patches in them have this name written on them. I have laid it out two ways and taken photos, but if anyone actualy made it and has a photo, or if anyone has the pattern with the final lay out I would really like to see it before I sew the blocks together. Any help will be appreciated!

A projected Messi scores a goal on the buildings of Barcelona in new Adidas ad [Video]
Adidas have created another short advertisement showing a projected Lionel Messi running riot on the walls of Barcelona.
The video is called Every Goal Scored but, because this is Messi, showing every goal he's scored would take a bit of time.
Instead they show a goal that represents every goal he's ever scored, the ball travelling as a fireball across buildings before landing in the back of the net, as it tends to.
You can watch the ad in the video above.

Although I don't perform regularly, there have been some recent gigs which have served as preparation for a recording project that my guys and I are working on. The musicians I perform with include Les Kurtza brilliant New York-bred keyboardist who began working years ago with Dakota Staton and has, as they say, performed with "everybody. On our last gig we employed a scintillating bassist from SwedenPer-Ola Gadd who had just finished performing at the JVC festival with Houston Person, Eric Alexander, Harry Allen et. al.
The bandstand patter included the usual "Did you hear the one about... jokes reflecting the latest political and media gossip going around town. Guys traded stories about recent gigs they'd had and the various new "monster players who were arriving on the scene. I mentioned to Per-Ola that I was rewriting some standard tunes in order to achieve some voicings that I needed to create a certain sound on my tenor sax. I noted that Stan Getz insisted on recording his staggering hit "The Girl from Ipanema in Db because that key worked best for his style; Meanwhile the rest of the musicians on the planet have been performing the tune in Fthe "standard key. From there the discussion led to the low range sub-tones of the immortal Ben Webster (one of my deepest influences) to the broad whole notes of Dexter Gordon and on to the lyricism of Harold Land. The conversation was interrupted"We've got to hit said Les, and we were off into "On Green Dolphin Street. In between tunes we exchanged stories about the genius of Bronislaw Kaper (the composer of "Green Dolphin ) and I found that, because of his European heritage, Per-Ola had perspectives that had eluded American writers for generations.
Throughout the gig, tidbits of information, hilarious tales, and important chunks of original musical thinking were floating over the bandstand. Les recounted some gigs involving certain sidemen who had been lauded by critics but turned out to be quite ordinary. From there the discussion led to the musicians' chagrin at the increase, in recent years, of huge advertising campaigns by record companies, media outlets and hired publicists in the service of musicians whose talent had been vastly overrated. Mind you, these conversations were taking place in the middle of aforementioned gig which turned out to be, I might add, quite successful. Our improvisational designs, experimental phrasings, and spontaneous creations evidently went over well as the audience requested several encores.
The current generation of jazz musicians contains players who have impressive academic credentials, extensive knowledge of political, social, anthropological and multicultural topics and are great personalities to boot. Their views of jazz music, musicians and other elements of the scene are extremely prescient, always instructive and often hysterically funny. I find it a privilege to be in their midst.

LOCAL promoters SO:NI (Sounds of Northern Ireland) are excited to be launching a new regular showcase night at the Island Arts Centre in Lisburn.
The team have had a presence in Lisburn for some time – promoting the city's longest running live music showcase in Hague's Bar on a monthly basis for close to five years. This event will be the sixth different regular SO:NI live showcase night, and of course they have also been heavily involved with the music at Sunflowerfest from the beginning.
The first of the 'Sounds of the New Island Arts Centre' gigs takes place this Saturday (November 3), and SO:NI have made sure to kick things off in style – courtesy of a very strong four band line-up.
Headliners The Dead Presidents are a fantastically entertaining live act – combining elements of rock, funk and soul in an irresistible mix – featuring a full brass section, and they silky vocals of charismatic frontman Matt Wilson. Special guests on the night are Nasa Assassin – who's massive groves, riffs and powerful tunes are cementing their reputation as a live experience to be reckoned with – always intense, but with a wicked and winning sense of humour. These two bands alone make for a strong double header, but two Lisburn outfits will also be providing support.
Whanau are a melting pot of pop, rock , country & blues – and have written a clutch of massively catchy tunes, and Smoking Tongue are a soulful alt-rock band with Pearl Jam influences, who recently took first prize in the Lisburn Battle of The Bands.
Doors open at 8pm and admission is only £5 – tickets are available at the venue, though it is also possible to pay at the door. It's worth noting that unlike most other SO:NI shows, anyone aged 14 and over is welcome at this gig – a great bonus to the younger music fans in the area. A full bar is available for anyone 18 and over (id required).
The SO:NI team hope this will be the first in a successful run of shows at this excellent venue – working in tandem with the ongoing shows at Hague's Bar on the last Thursday of each month.

Building Member Loyalty Goes Beyond What's Fuzzy and Feel-Good
Loyalty is a measure of the strength of the relationship between an organization and its members/customer. Strong loyalty results in some observable behaviors. People continue doing business with you and don't defect to alternative providers. They purchase additional products or services. They say good things about you in the marketplace. They recommend you to other people. They give you productive feedback on improving your service or product offerings.
These are behaviors that have very tangible, long-term implications for financial results. This isn't just fuzzy, feel-good stuff. Credit unions and other organizations have identified a clear, positive correlation between loyalty and key measures, including profitability, retention and product usage.
Credit unions show very respectable results in the loyalty arena. When loyalty is measured using the Net Promoter Score, credit unions, which average about 56%, outpace the 11% national bank average by a large margin. However, credit unions scores have been relatively flat over past couple of years. When compared to the top five NPS organizations including USAA, Amazon, Apple, Costco and Google, the credit union industry's average lags by about 20 percentage points.
Statistically, the attributes that are the strongest drivers of loyalty among credit union members are quality service, a belief that the credit union delivers value and ease of conducting business. In general, credit unions do well in the delivery of interpersonal service and in providing value to the members, but have real opportunity to strengthen loyalty when it comes to enhancing ease of doing business and the process side of the member experience.
Members often use interactions with providers outside of the financial services industry as their point of reference for all of their service experiences. For example, they buy from Amazon where they experience a great online interface and get updates on the processing and location of their orders every step of the way. Then they expect but don't always receive the same level of communication and process consistency when opening a new account, obtaining a mortgage or during any other transaction. When you look at the credit union loyalty average by age, you see a notable decrease in score as age drops. An evaluation of the comments and supporting data show that this process expectation gap is an important factor in score difference.
Maintaining and increasing member loyalty in 2010 and into the next decade will require keeping up with a high and rapidly rising service delivery bar. Unfortunately, few credit unions have the infrastructure or resources to deliver on the level of an Amazon.
Collaboration in the form of CUSOs may be our strongest opportunity to deliver unique service experiences on par with best in class companies and to increase the loyalty lead over banks and compete aggressively with our nonbank competitors. CUSOs help to leverage resources, source the best ideas, share risks associated with development and innovation and thereby increase the likelihood of success.
Equally important, CUSOs allow us to keep our dollars, member focus and ideas within the credit union industry. If expertise and thought leadership in a particular discipline is not available among us, we can pool resources to obtain it. When we pay some outside service providers to enhance our core processing, home-banking or other tools to meet our strategic service goals, commonly those enhancements are quickly available to competitors who also use the provider. This can make it difficult to differentiate.
In the immediate term, there are excellent CUSO providers for many of the key processes that are critical to enhancing the member service experience. Credit unions should consider them versus an outside provider where possible and active engage with them to make sure that they are truly making a positive impact on the experience members are having.
In the longer term, think about the resources, human and hard dollars, currently being applied to projects such as remote deposit or mobile banking or social networking. All the initiatives are very likely to enhance member loyalty. It is not unreasonable to assume that hundreds of credit unions are working right now on each of these initiatives. In the end we will have hundreds of primarily similar outcomes because we are going to call each other anyway to find out how our pal at XYZ credit union is approaching it. There will be slight variations but it will be fundamentally the same. Combined, the parallel resources of any one of these initiatives applied intelligently and collaboratively, could be leveraged to create outcomes that would truly differentiate us from the competition.
A final note about building member loyalty. The sixth of the seven cooperative principles of credit union is "cooperation among cooperatives." It reads "Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, state, regional, national and international structures."
We can serve our members most effectively and strengthen their loyalty by working together to create amazing, difficult to duplicate member experiences.

Installed Mandrake 10.1, but GUI doesn't work
But after I rebooted (after installation) I didn't get a desktop. The desktop was blank, except for a small clock in the upper right. When I clicked I get a popup menu with items like "Focus" etc. Not sure what that was. I'm not sure whether the video card is having issues or what.
I went through the installation again and chose to not start X org automatically. I can login and everything appears fine. But I have no desktop.
I can do my work from the command line, but I would like a desktop. I don't know how to install it from the command line. Should I try that or try to reinstall again?

Hello -
This all sounds a bit unusual ... If I remember rightly the part where you're asked if the configuration is correct should give you a screen with some vertical coloured stripes, and the yes/no widgets. Sounds like the colours were missing from your display, and that tells me you might have an issue with your video card. What kind of card do you have? ATI support isn't too good under Linux, and the old hands here recommend NVidia. Driver support is much better.
If you install again you might like to click on some more configuration options for your video card. It'll ask something about 'heads' and how many you want to set up ... just play with a couple of those options to see what works.
I wonder which desktop environment you are chosing there? It's up to you, but I would try KDE to start with. One way to start this from a command line is just to type startkde
Hope this points you in the right direction.I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

I don't get any options for desktop config
I am using the "mini" install, which fits on a single CD, but which might be the problem. I don't get any options for desktop or video card. I read that the mini install downloads the rest of the installation from the internet. So I thought I would get all the normal options during installation. But I don't any options and "heads" or desktop environment.
I installed Mandrake 8.1 and it works fine, so at least I have a working install now. I'll work on updated to a newer version.
Any tips on that?

Re: I don't get any options for desktop configOriginally Posted by m23
Having installed a newer version I create links to an ftp download site near me and install bug fixes and security updates for the version I've uprgraded to. A typical magazine + cover disk costs me £6 ... Not a big outlay!
Learn to use urpmi which is Mandriva's update tool (run from the command line). Read up on this site and expect a learning curve before you get to the point where you are comfortable.
Generally you have two options for updates: either use ftp mirror sites or get a disk from somewhere. Always try to get the complete distro on one disk.
EDIT: Just to be really controversial, I don't like early editions of Mandrake/Mandriva. IMHO anything before version 10 is too buggy to use. 2005 LE is pretty good, but 2006 shows a lot more maturity and polish.I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

try SUSE 64 bit, it works perfectly on my brothers AMD 64 box (his mobo has a nForce4-Ultra chipset), no problems with apic and all that stuff. You can turn off apic with the noapic option in grub/lilo if you wish to do so.Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.

Hey AlexK - Thanks for the tips - I defintely had suse on my list and now you have given it a nudge to the top.
Also - thanks for the grub/lilo tip - I knew how to do it with Knoppix (noapic) but not how with an installed system. Off to do a little vi ...
