Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Cool Science, Hot Art
Spencer Finch enlightens with installation art and C. P. Snow lecture. by Erin McKigney '09
Like many artists, Spencer Finch has a long list of classic painters whose work he admires and has studied. But as he spoke to a room full of IC students in April, Finch revealed a few atypical inspirations: Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Samuel Morse.
Curiosity about science sparked Finch's interest in examining the surprising intersections of two disciplines that might seem completely unconnected: science and art. "It wasn't any sort of conscious decision," Finch explains. "As I continued working as an artist, I started noticing there were connections and similarities between the way I worked and scientific methodology."
Finch visited the campus as the 2009 guest in the College's annual C. P. Snow Lecture Series, named after the late physicist and novelist Sir Charles Percy Snow and aimed at bridging the gap between the humanities and sciences. Time, distance, and light are among the themes that intrigue modern artists, including Finch. Drawing from a variety of media including pastel, watercolor, photography, glass tile, video, sculpture, and light installation, Finch enjoys replicating his personal experience with light and color at a specific time and place.
"The relationship between time and light is interesting," he says. "Once you start thinking about light, other areas open up. I would really like to be known as a colorist, because I'm very interested in color in the broader sense of the word."
During Finch's visit, the Center for Natural Sciences, generally adorned with periodic tables and scientific formulas, was transformed into a gallery featuring four of Finch's installations alongside student and faculty artwork created throughout the semester to accompany Finch's pieces.
"The interaction between art students in a science building and science students looking at artwork is healthy," says Finch. "People are bound to see something unexpected and maybe learn something."
Art professor Susan Weisend, whose students were among those participating in the collaboration, says, "Spencer has a fascination with the world around him and investigates the science in everyday life in a specific way. He then documents that investigation by creating a work of art."
In Finch's installation "Sky," the artist re-created the color of the sky in April over the Franz Joseph Glacier in New Zealand. He first created a dye matching that very particular blue. He then dyed water and froze it, piling the cubes onto a shelf-like structure representing the glacier. During the installation, as the glacier-cubes melted, the water dropped into a white tub below, creating a "liquid painting" of the sky.
Finch also incorporates the mysteries of perception into his art. In the installation "Bee Purple," theater filters were used on fluorescent lights to approximate the light spectrum visible to bees — only from green to ultraviolet. Finch thus shows how a simple adjustment to light can change how people and other creatures perceive the world.
" 'Bee Purple' was cool," says writing major Laura Catapano '09, who also had her artwork displayed, "but I don't know if I quite understood it."
Finch's objective is changing how people look at the world and perceive their surroundings. "I'm not so interested in providing answers," says Finch. "And that might be one way science is different from art. Science is always looking for answers — even though it's 99.9 percent asking questions and only that little bit at the end is the answer."
Finch concluded his day on campus with a talk, "Beauty and the Scientific Method," in which he further pointed out how science and art are more parallel than they seem, and how artists like Monet and Seurat blended the two disciplines.
Finch, who has displayed his works worldwide, enjoyed being with the IC students. Like them, he was eager to learn, experiment, and interact.
"Just spending time with the microscope this morning was fun," Finch told his audience. "It's something I probably haven't done in 20 years, and as soon as I get home I want to go on eBay and find myself a microscope." No doubt he'll find a creative way to use it.

Forty Under 40
Steven T. Moore, 34
President, J.L. Moore Inc.
While deployed with the U.S. Army in Iraq in 2006, Steve Moore spent some of his free time writing and fine-tuning computer forms used by J.L. Moore Inc., the general contractor business owned by his family.
The practice reflected his circumstances: Mr. Moore, 34, had been preparing to assume leadership of J.L. Moore when he was called back to active duty. After three months of training, he was off to Camp Stryker in Baghdad.
Not that there was much time for software. He spent six months running a depot. The next six months he volunteered to command troops protecting supply convoys through the perilous Iraqi countryside. The job kept him in the field so much that at one point he was unable to phone or email his wife, Stacy, for two weeks; he bought chewing gum with a credit card to signal her that he was OK.
Asked how he felt about being called back to duty three years after finishing a stint in the Ohio National Guard, Mr. Moore, a captain, put it simply: It was his duty to help protect the nation.
However, the 15 months Mr. Moore spent back in the military were the company's low point, as they took its manager of business development out of the picture just as he was to take the reins from his father.
Despite the downturn, the company has been on the rise since. Sales are up 25% this year over last for J.L. Moore, which performs about 80 jobs annually around the nation. But it hasn't been easy. Headquarters staff was trimmed to eight from 11 in 2008, Mr. Moore said, "to be as lean as we can be."
Scott Maloney, director of the mbik2m architecture firm in Cleveland, said achieving growth is exceptional because J.L. Moore's specialty is in the hard-hit commercial construction market. He describes Mr. Moore as diligent and methodical.
Mr. Moore said serving in Iraq has given him a different yardstick for measuring life. He said he still works hard but focuses more than in the past on enjoying activities with his three young children. His big outside engagement is as a forum moderator at the invitation-only Entrepreneurs Organization trade group.
Building is a way of life for Mr. Moore, as his parents started the firm at their kitchen table when he was 5. Now Mr. Moore wants to build its reputation as a sought- after contractor, though not a big one, and pass on to his own children.

The higher limits, new games and longer hours were a big hit over the July Fourth weekend for Colorado's mountain casinos. But the industry is probably not done fighting for changes.
At the Isle's launching festivities in Black Hawk on the night of July 1st, the house was packed. Craps and roulette tables were four deep at around midnight. The casino had a Vegas atmosphere because of the new games and $100 limits. Even though there's a $100 maximum bet, on games like craps, you can actually bet much more than that at any given time because the $100 cap is on each bet, and in craps there are so many different bets. Same with roulette. You can bet $100 on black, $100 on even, and up to $100 on any number with no limit on how many numbers you want.
The Isle stayed pretty busy until … the last call, which is an important difference between Black Hawk and Vegas, where they never stop serving drinks. Up the hill, at 2 a.m., you have to finish your last drink or have them taken away because of Colorado's liquor laws. Just after 2, the Isle was pretty dead, except for the new games.
So it would not be surprising if the casino industry made a push, perhaps a couple of years down the road, to win an exemption from the state's liquor laws. It might be worth it for bigger operators such as the Isle and Ameristar.
A couple of other observations: The casinos should have opened all of their craps and roulette tables at all times because there always seemed to be crowds around those games. Instead, except for the busiest hours on the weekend, they kept just one of each opened. I'm not sure if it was strategic or because they couldn't hire enough dealers Read more…

Adopt a Barking Tree Frog
The barking tree frog - named for the male's call, which sounds like a dog yapping — lives across the coastal states of the Southeast. Like most other amphibians worldwide, the barking tree frog has been dwindling in numbers. Scientists are not sure why this is occurring, but they do know that water pollution, acid rain, and the effects of global warming are important factors. This species lives in sandy areas, such as barrens and in low, wet woodlands. To help monitor frog populations and increase awareness of amphibian decline, NWF has organized Frogwatch USA, enlisting the help of more than 3,000 frog enthusiasts in its frog monitoring efforts. Please help us save wildlife from global warming and other threats. Adopt a barking tree frog today!

Rated 5 out of 5 by skyygal from Love this beautiful chicken I bought this chicken jug years ago and we use it as a wine decanter. Everyone loves it so much so we bought one for our daughter. She loves it too and it always makes a wonderful conversation piece. It holds exactly 1 bottle of wine. Perfect !Date published: 2014-07-01Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Chicken pitcher The pitcher wasn't as colorful as it was online. faded looking.Date published: 2013-06-30Rated 5 out of 5 by SFTX from Great small pitcher I already own this pitcher and bought this one as a gift for a friend who has a house in Key West. People are really into chickens in Key West. It is perfect for oj if you are serving mimosas or lime juice for margaritas. It is too small to use as a water pitcher but is a nice decorative accent.Date published: 2012-10-24Rated 5 out of 5 by SheilaDP from Great Housewarming Gift There is actually a story behind the Chicken Pitchers. I'll try to make it short to fit here! Giuliano Medici was a wealthy land owner in Renaissance Florence. The only serious rival to power to the Medici family was the Pazzi family. One night after the Medici family held a festival for the peasants in the town of Gallina, the Pazzi family plotted to assassinate Giuliano. While Guiliano was sleeping, the Pazzi assassins tried to sneak up on his camp and kill him. The chickens in the yard around his tent made so much noise that it woke Guiliano and his body guards and saved his life! To honor the chickens, he ordered his artisans to create the ceramic jugs and gave them to the peasants of the town for good luck and to ward of assassins. It is a common Italian tradition to give the pitcher as a housewarming gift to protect the owners from trespassers and danger.Date published: 2012-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by BankerWoman1 from Love It and Recommend! This is my second one. Unfortunately, the other fell onto the granite and broke it's face off! Thought I'd not replace it, but after two years, missed it too much and bought the new one . . . now I really love it! Over the years, I've given three or four as gifts and everyone has enjoyed them. Although I mainly display it, you could use it to serve wine, or anything. It's a keeper and I recommend!Date published: 2012-03-04Rated 5 out of 5 by Jovanna from Whimsical, pretty This is lovely--and easier to have shipped to the door than to carry home from Italy. A previous reviewer mentioned the painted design, that of a man with an elf head, dragon body, well...it may seem odd, but if you google Deruta, it is that particular design that is "the" authentic design and is meant to be that way. To each his/her own, but I'm lovin' it. Marked "made in Italy" on bottom.Date published: 2012-02-17Rated 5 out of 5 by morningglory from Deruta hand painted chicken jug I love the jug, it's a good size & colors are bright & cheerful.Date published: 2012-02-06

Greece island Kefalonia struck by 6.1-magnitude earthquake
Quake appears to be a strong aftershock to a Jan. 26 temblor, reviving memories of 1950s horror
A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude between 5.7 and 6.1 hit the western Greek island of Kefalonia before dawn Monday, sending frightened residents into the streets just over a week after a similar quake damaged hundreds of buildings, reviving memories of a disaster in the 1950s.
Authorities said about 16 people had been slightly hurt, mainly by falling objects, while roads, homes and shops were damaged and some areas suffered power and water supply cuts. Islanders also had to contend with intense bad weather, with strong rain and low temperatures.
Kefalonia Mayor Alexandros Parisis said the port at the island's second largest town of Lixouri, the closest to the epicenter, had been damaged. Images from the area showed part of the pier breaking off and boats that had been on land for repair toppling over.
Earthquakes have been rattling Kefalonia constantly for the past week, after a 5.9-magnitude temblor struck the area on Jan. 26, damaging homes and slightly injuring seven people. Since then, thousands of residents have been spending nights with relatives or in ships sent to accommodate them.
Schools on the island have been shut for the past week, and had not been scheduled to reopen until Wednesday, said Deputy Mayor Evangelos Kekatos.
Authorities urged the islanders to remain calm and not approach any damaged buildings.
An eight-member rescue team with a sniffer dog was heading to the island as a precaution, the fire department said, while Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias and his ministry's secretary general were also heading to Kefalonia to co-ordinate the response.
Aircraft dispatched
The armed forces was sending two military transport aircraft carrying 30 personnel and three doctors as well as tents and emergency supplies, while a military ship was sailing to the island with digging vehicles, a mobile kitchen and a water tanker among other equipment, the Defence Ministry said.
The Athens Geodynamic Institute registered the pre-dawn quake, which struck just after 5 a.m. local time, with a magnitude of 5.7 and an epicenter 12 kilometres northwest of the island's capital of Argostoli. The U.S. Geological Survey registered a 6.1-magnitude. It is common for institutes to register different figures.
The intense seismic activity reawakened memories of the devastating 1953 quakes on Kefalonia and neighbouring Zakinthos, when a 7.2-magnitude temblor struck three days after a 6.4 quake, killing hundreds, injuring thousands and destroying nearly all the buildings on the islands.
Seismologists said more aftershocks were to be expected on the island, which lies in a highly seismically active region. Several registered in the initial hours after Monday's quake.
More aftershocks
"The whole area has been activated … we are all on alert," said Maria Sahpazi, head of the Geodynamic Institute, adding that Monday morning's quake appeared to be a strong aftershock of the Jan. 26 temblor.
"We expect more aftershocks, which will be of this size or smaller," she said.
Seismologist Vassilis Papazachos urged caution and said islanders must make plans for shelter over the coming weeks or months if their homes are damaged as the region has produced powerful earthquakes in the past.
"Measures must be mid-term," Papazachos said on Greek television. "We can't know whether there will be a bigger (earthquake)."
Monday's quake was felt across parts of the western Greek mainland and as far away as the Greek capital, Athens, almost 300 kilometres to the east.
- An earlier version of this story supplied by The Associated Press indicated wrongly that Athens is west of where the earthquake occurred. In fact, it is east.Feb 03, 2014 12:46 PM ET

Terms of delivery
I. General
- All products and services supplied by Vendor shall be governed by the present Terms of Delivery as well as any specific contractual agreement that is concluded. The integration of any terms and conditions of any Purchaser into any contract that differ from the present Terms of Delivery shall be excluded, including on acceptance of an order by Vendor. Unless otherwise agreed, any contract between Vendor and Purchaser shall become effective on receipt by the Purchaser of a written order confirmation from Vendor.
- Vendor shall retain intellectual and industrial property rights to all samples, quotes, drawings, and any other physical or non-physical information of any kind, including electronic information. No such information may be disclosed and/or made available to any third party. Vendor shall be prohibited from disclosing any Purchaser information and/or documentation to any third party without Purchaser's authorization, insofar as Purchaser expressly indicates that such information or documentation is confidential.
II. Prices and payment
- Insofar as not otherwise agreed, the prices indicated shall be ex works including loading at the factory, exclusive of packaging and unloading. All prices shall be subject to sales tax (VAT).
- Insofar as not otherwise agreed, payment shall be transferred to Vendor's account, as follows:
1/3 advance payment following receipt of the order confirmation
1/3 immediately upon Purchaser's receipt of notification that the consignment concerned is ready for delivery
The remaining amount shall be payable within one month of the passage of risk.
- Purchaser shall only be entitled to withhold payments or offset them against counterclaims insofar as such counterclaim is uncontested or legally enforceable.
III. Delivery period; delivery delays
- The delivery period shall be that specified in the Agreement between the parties. Vendor shall adhere to the delivery period insofar as all commercial and technical issues have been resolved between the contractual partners and insofar as Purchaser has met all obligations accruing to him such as furnishing required official certifications and authorizations and effecting advance payments. Where this is not the case, the delivery period shall be extended by a reasonable amount of time. The aforestated shall not apply insofar as any delay in delivery is attributable to Vendor.
- Compliance with delivery dates shall be subject to timely availability of the relevant materials.
- The delivery date shall be deemed to have been adhered to insofar as the goods are dispatched from Vendor's production facility by the delivery date, or where Vendor has notified Purchaser that the goods are ready to be shipped. Where acceptance of delivery is required, either the acceptance date (insofar as acceptance has not been declined for reasonable cause) or the date of the notification of readiness to accept delivery shall apply.
- Insofar as the delivery and/or acceptance of any consignment is delayed for reasons attributable to Purchaser, as from one month following issuance of the notification of readiness to ship/readiness to accept delivery, Purchaser shall be charged a minimum of 1% per month of the relevant invoice amount for any cost resulting from storage at Vendor's factory. Where a reasonable deadline for acceptance of delivery has been set without being met, Vendor shall be entitled to dispose of the contractual deliverables by other means and to supply Purchaser within a reasonable extended period.
- Insofar as any default on any delivery date is attributable to force majeure, labor strikes or any other event that is beyond Vendor's control, the delivery date shall be extended to a reasonable extent. Vendor shall notify Purchaser of the beginning and end of any such event.
- Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate the contract without notice insofar as performance of the agreement as a whole becomes definitively unfeasible prior to the passage of risk. Purchaser shall also be entitled to terminate the contract insofar as the fulfillment of any part of an order becomes unfeasible and Purchaser has reasonable cause to refuse partial fulfillment of such order. Where this is not the case, Purchaser shall pay the contractually agreed price accruing to partial performance of the order. The aforestated also applies where Vendor is unable to perform the agreement. Section VII(2) shall also apply in this regard. Where, during a period of delay in acceptance of delivery, the contract cannot be performed, or where Purchaser is solely or largely responsible for the occurrence of such circumstances, his duty of counterperformance shall remain enforceable.
- Insofar as Purchaser sustains any loss or injury as the result of any Vendor default on any delivery date results, Purchaser shall be entitled to require that Vendor indemnify Purchaser for said loss or injury. Said indemnification shall amount to, for each full week of default, 0.5% of the value of the element of the consignment that Purchaser was unable to use in good time or in the contractually specified manner owing to said default, subject to an aggregate maximum of 5% of said value. Insofar as, following such default, Purchaser grants Vendor a reasonable cure period (insofar as allowed by law) that Vendor fails to comply with, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate the contract, insofar as allowed by law. Any further claims arising from any default on any delivery date shall be governed exclusively by the provisions of section VII(2) hereof.
IV. Passage of risk; formal acceptance of delivery
- Risk shall pass to Purchaser on dispatch of the consignment from the factory, including in the event of any partial delivery or if Vendor has assumed any additional costs such as shipping costs, or if Vendor has agreed to provide any additional products or services. Where acceptance of delivery is required, risk shall be deemed to have been transferred upon such acceptance. The consignment shall be accepted on the acceptance date or following notification from Vendor of readiness to accept delivery. Any refusal of delivery by Purchaser on the grounds of a minor defect shall be excluded.
- Insofar as any delivery or acceptance thereof is delayed or unfeasible for reasons that are not attributable to Vendor, risk shall pass to Purchaser on the date of notification of readiness to dispatch/accept delivery. Vendor shall, at Purchaser's expense, obtain insurance insofar as so requested by Purchaser.
- Partial deliveries shall be allowable insofar as they are reasonable for Purchaser.
V. Retention of title
- All goods shall remain Vendor's property until such time as all payments arising from the supply contract have been received.
- Vendor shall be entitled to ensure the deliverables, at Purchaser's cost, against theft, fracture, fire, water damage and any other loss or damage, insofar as Purchaser has not obtained such insurance and provided proof thereof.
- Any sale/pledging of the deliverables or use of the deliverables as security by Purchaser shall be subject to Vendor's prior written authorization. Purchaser shall inform Vendor promptly in the event any deliverables are seized, attached or otherwise disposed of by a third party.
- Any contractual breach by Purchaser, particularly any late payment, shall entitle Vendor to take back the deliverables concerned, subject to prior issuance of a warning. In such a case, Purchaser shall surrender the deliverables to Vendor. Any assertion of the right to retain title and/or any pledging of the contractual deliverables by Vendor shall not constitute termination of the contract.
- Insofar as Purchaser duly resells the contractual deliverables, Purchaser hereby assigns the final invoiced amount (including sales tax (VAT)) arising from the sale of such receivables to any party whatsoever, irrespective of whether the deliverables are resold under the terms of a contract. Purchaser shall also be entitled to collect such receivables following said assignment, without prejudice to Vendor's right to collect such receivables. However, Vendor shall refrain from any such collection insofar as Purchaser (a) has met Purchaser's payment obligations in respect to the proceeds of such resale; (b) is not in arrears on any payment due; and in particular (c) has not filed for bankruptcy and has not suspended payments. If the Purchaser suspends payments, Vendor shall be entitled to require Purchaser to (a) report the assigned receivables to Vendor and Vendor's debtors; (b) provide all information that is needed for collection of such receivables; and (c) notify any relevant third party debtors of such assignment.
- Any Purchaser modification or processing of any deliverable shall be realized solely on Vendor' behalf. If any deliverable is modified or processed in conjunction with any product that does not originate from Vendor, Vendor shall acquire partial title to the resulting product in proportion to the ratio, at the time such modification/processing is performed, between the value of the deliverables as a whole and the deliverables that were modified/processed. The terms and conditions of this paragraph 6 shall likewise apply to any deliverable that is accepted with reservations.
- If any deliverable is combined non-separably with any non-Vendor item, Vendor shall acquire partial title to the resulting product in proportion to the ratio, at the time such combining was realized, between the value of the deliverables as a whole and the items that were combined. If said combining is realized in such a way that Purchaser's elements can be justifiably regarded as the principal elements, Purchaser shall assign shared title to Vendor proportionately. Purchaser shall act as custodian for Vendor for the shared or sole title thus engendered.
- Purchaser shall assign to Vendor any receivable in respect to any guarantee for Vendor's receivables, insofar as such receivable arises from any linkage of said deliverable with any real estate for a third party beneficiary.
- Vendor shall release any guarantee accruing to Vendor at Purchaser's request insofar as the value of such guarantee exceeds the value of the guaranteed receivables by more than 20%. The decision as to which guarantee is to be released shall be made by Vendor alone.
- Vendor shall be entitled to terminate the contract and require that Purchaser return all deliverables promptly insofar as Purchaser files for bankruptcy.
VI. Warranty
Vendor shall be liable for quality defects and deficiencies in title (hereinafter: "Defects" or "Defect") in regard to goods supplied as follows, to the exclusion of any further claim and subject to the provisions of section VII:
Defects in new deliverables:
- Any new element in which a Defect is detected within 12 months shall be either repaired or replaced, in Vendor's discretion, insofar as such Defect existed prior to the passage of risk. Vendor shall be notified promptly in writing of the detection of any such Defect. Any replaced parts shall become Vendor's property.
- By mutual agreement with Vendor, Purchaser shall afford Vendor the requisite time and opportunity to realize all repairs and/or replacement deliveries that are deemed necessary. Insofar as Purchaser fails to afford Vendor such time and opportunity, Vendor shall be held harmless against any loss or injury resulting from or in connection with such failure. Purchaser shall be entitled to rectify defects himself or have such defects rectified by a third party and to request reimbursement of any costs incurred therefrom only insofar as such rectification is urgently needed in order to avoid substantial loss or injury and any reduction in operational safety.
- Insofar as any Purchaser complaint requiring any repair/replacement turns out to be justified, Vendor shall assume the cost and expense of said repair/replacement, including shipping costs and any reasonable mounting and dismantling costs, as well as any reasonable labor costs (according to the circumstances of the individual case) incurred by Vendor for any necessary work performed by any Vendor employee and/or fitter.
- Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate the contract (within the limits prescribed by law) insofar as Vendor defaults on any reasonable cure period set by Purchaser for replacement or repair. Where the Defect is immaterial, Purchaser shall only be entitled to a reduction in the contractual price. Any other right to a reduction in the contractual price shall be excluded.
- The product warranty shall be voided in the presence of any of the following factors or events, insofar as such factors or events are not attributable to Vendor: unsuitable or improper use; improper mounting and/or commissioning by Purchaser or any third party; normal wear and tear; improper or negligent handling; improper maintenance; the user of improper operating materials; defective construction work; inadequate subsoil; chemical, electrochemical or electrical factors.
- Insofar as Purchaser or any third party repairs any Defect improperly, or if any deliverable is modified without Vendor's prior authorization, Vendor shall not be responsible for the consequences of such improper repair or modification.
Terms and conditions governing used deliverables:
- Contrary to the provisions of section VI(1-6), any warranty for any Defect in any used deliverable shall be excluded, except in the event of any willfully concealed Defect or any breach of a warranty. The foregoing shall be without prejudice to any other Purchaser contractual rights in respect to used deliverables.
Deficiency in title:
- Where use of a contractual deliverable results in any breach of third party industrial property rights or copyright enforceable in Germany, Vendor shall, at his expense, obtain for Purchaser the right to continued use of such deliverable or shall modify it in a manner acceptable to Purchaser such that the breach of industrial property rights is eliminated. Where the aforestated cannot be carried out at reasonable expense or within a reasonable period, either party shall be entitled to terminate the contract. In addition, Vendor shall hold Purchaser harmless against undisputed or legally enforceable claims lodged by the owners of such property rights.
The Vendor duties referred to in section VI(8) shall also apply to any breach of intellectual property rights or copyright, subject to the provisions of section VII(2), and shall only be enforceable insofar as
- purchaser immediately notifies Vendor of any asserted breach of industrial property rights or copyright;
- purchaser provides Vendor with adequate support to defend himself against any asserted claims and/or enables Vendor to perform modifications as provided in section VI(8)
- vendor retains the right to take all measures in his own defense including out of court settlements;
- the deficiency in title is not attributable to any instruction issued by Purchaser;
- the infringement of rights is not attributable to Purchaser having modified any deliverable without authorization or having used it in a non-contractual manner.
VII. Liability
- Where, through any culpable act on the part of Vendor, Purchaser is unable to use a deliverable as stipulated in the contract due to (1) any omission or error in implementing any suggestion or advice that was provided prior to or following conclusion of the contract; or (2) any breach of any contractual obligation such as the obligation to provide operating and maintenance instructions for a deliverable, the provisions of sections VI and VII(2) hereof shall apply and all other Purchaser claims shall be excluded.
- Insofar as any loss or injury incurred is not directly attributable to a deliverable, Vendor's liability, regardless of its cause in law, shall be limited to that occasioned by the following:
- willful misconduct
- gross negligence on the part of any Vendor owner, organ, manager and/or executive
- any culpable injury or danger to life, limb or health
- any willfully concealed Defect, or any Defect whose absence was guaranteed by Vendor
- any Defect in any deliverables, insofar as, under product liability law, Vendor is liable for property damage or personal injury resulting from such Defect
In connection with any wrongful breach of any material contractual duty, Vendor shall also be liable for any gross negligence and/or minor negligence on the part of any non-managerial employee. In the case of minor negligence, Vendor's liability shall be limited to any loss or injury that was foreseeable for and is characteristic of the contractual obligations concerned.
The lodging of any other claim shall be excluded.
VII. Statutory limitations
Any Purchaser claim, irrespective of the legal grounds therefore, shall become statute-barred 12 months after being lodged. The statute-barred periods prescribed by law shall apply to the following: any fraud or willful misconduct; any liability claim under product liability law; any Defect in any construction or deliverable that is used in a standard manner for any construction and that gives rise to any liability for Defects.
VIII. Applicable law; place of jurisdiction
- All legal relationships between Vendor and Purchaser shall be governed solely by the laws of Germany that apply to the legal relationships between domestic parties.
- Insofar as Purchaser has the status of a Vollkaufmann (businessman) in Germany or is a legal person or öffentlich-rechtliches Sondervermögen (special fund) under public law, the place of jurisdiction for any dispute arising from the contract shall be the court with jurisdiction over Vendor's head office or the Vendor affiliate that realized the delivery concerned. Vendor shall also be entitled to take legal action at the location of Purchaser's head office

When I started my blog a little over a year ago I didn't think anyone would be even remotely interested in reading my random, ramblings apart from my friends and family who it would be repeatedly forced upon through annoying Facebook updates.
Instead I've somehow ended up with willing followers, who I can harass with my thoughts as much as I want. Rookie mistake people.

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez insists he is happy at Anfield
Luis Suarez has poured water on speculation linking him with a move to Juventus.
By Simone Bargellini
Last Updated: 08/12/12 3:06pm
Suarez - who has netted 39 goals in 69 appearances for the Reds since his move from Ajax in January 2011 - could be a January target for The Old Lady.
The player is valued at £28million and with the Italian giants having qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, the opportunity may be too good to turn down for the Uruguayan.
However, despite the Reds hitman acknowledging the interest from Bianconeri boss Antonio Conte, Suarez insists he is happy at Anfield.
"Serie A is very nice and a competitive league with great teams and great players," Suarez told Mediaset after Liverpool's victory against Udinese in the Europa League.
"I know (Conte wants me at Juventus) because it's been talked about quite a lot and I always read a lot of stories in the newspapers.
"But I'm very happy at Liverpool. It is a club where many people would like to play."

A flock of animal-rights activists organized outside Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Upper East Side townhouse yesterday, outraged as geese were rounded up to be gased.
"Hey Bloomberg what do you say? How many geese did you gas today?," shouted protesters.
For the next six weeks the city and the Port Authority are paying federal wildlife officials to trap and gas two thousand Canada geese. Yesterday the city rounded up at least 40 of them.
"The Mayor says he wishes them sweet dreams, one of the most obscene statements a public official has ever made," said Wayne Johnson from the Coalition to Stop the Canada Goose Kill. "Does he really think going into a gas chamber means sweet dreams."
The demonstrators were motivated in part by a video shot by Geesebusters, a company offering a non-lethal method of getting rid of geese. The video shows the geese being rounded up near parks and bodies of water by John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports.
"This is there molting season so they can't even fly so they're helpless," said organizer Edita Birnkrant from the group Friends of Animals.
The Mayor says the bird strike that forced U.S. Airways Flight 1549 to land in the Hudson River highlights the dangers Canada geese pose to aviation. The city also tried non-lethal ways to control the population, but it did not work.
Protesters say resident Canada geese are the ones being targeted when it was actually migratory Canada geese that collided with Flight 1549
But would it be worth it to gas the geese if it would save lives?
"It's not a fair question because there has been a number of studies that shows when you remove any number of animals from an area they repopulate," Birnkrant said.

After steep declines in 2011, flat-panel TV prices in the United States have remained stable this year as retailers and manufacturers seek to avoid a rerun of last year's price wars.
Industry research firm IHS said flat-panel TV makers are piling extra features into their 2012 models, such as LED backlighting and Internet connectivity. Those features, which cost more, have helped keep prices up.
The average retail price for flat-panel TVs rose from $1,120 in December to $1,250 in April, according to IHS.
"TV manufacturers and retailers are charging a premium for these features, boosting their pricing and protecting their revenue," said Tom Morrod, head of television technology for IHS. "This represents a shift in strategy among brands and retailers to hold the line on pricing and encourage consumers to buy more expensive sets."
Flat-panel prices fell in 2011, thanks in part to overly optimistic forecasts of U.S. demand. Too many sets were shipped early in the year, forcing sharp discounts in the third and fourth quarters to clear out inventory, analysts say.
That led to some staggering deals during the holidays. For example, a 42-inch Sharp LCD TV was advertised at Best Buy on Black Friday for $200. A 47-inch LG flat-panel LCD set with 3-D and a Blu-ray player was on sale at Walmart for $800.
Last year's discounting contributed to losses for some TV manufacturers. Sony, the third largest TV maker, lost about $1.8 billion on its flat-panel TV business worldwide. Sony Electronics, which overseas sales of the Japanese giant's electronic gadgets in the North America, is based in San Diego. Panasonic, Toshiba and Sharp also suffered last year, analysts say.
Samsung and LG Electronics fared somewhat better, posting profit margins in their TV businesses of about 2 percent in 2011, according to NPD DisplaySearch.
While prices are stable so far this year, the data is a bit misleading, said Paul Gagnon, director of North America TV Research for NPD DisplaySearch.
"What happens this time of the year is you have new models coming in," he said. "The effect is the new models come in higher prices than the old models."
Still, TV makers are trying to hold the line. Analysts forecast that the number of flat-panel sets shipped to the United States this year will decline by about 5 percent – the first drop in shipments since the market began.
In addition, Sony and Samsung have implemented more strict pricing policies with retailers in hopes of discouraging price wars, Gagnon said.
"Manufacturers are not allowed to set the price a product is sold for, but they can impose penalties on retailers" who discount too much, Gagnon said. Sanctions might include delaying deliveries of certain popular products, changing credit terms and so on.
In an interview with UT-San Diego last month, Sony Electronics President Phil Molyneux said Sony is encouraging U.S. retailers with a strategic investment program. "It's not just the commercial terms," he said, "it's promotional activity as well as discounts we may offer on the product side to retailers for great retailing."
Molyneux said he hopes the program moves the industry "to a better place." Sony also streamlined the number of TV models it sells from 30 last year to 17 this year.
"This is a very aggressive industry in the U.S," said Molyneux. "I think the industry unfortunately was on a negative spiral where it was all about special offers and price, price, price as opposed to the value of the products to consumers."
The key issue for TV makers will be whether U.S. consumers will pay for additional features such as Internet connectivity or LED backlighting in a market where 70 percent to 80 percent of households already own at least one flat-panel set, Gagnon said.
"One of the things we've noticed is that the U.S is behind other regions in terms of adopting smart TVs, 3-D and other upgrades," Gagnon said. "The name of the game in the U.S. is people are willing to trade some of those features for a larger screen size. So if they can get a 60-inch TV at the same price as 50-inch smart TV, they're going to go with the larger screen."

Warner Bros. has lifted the review embargo for The Dark Knight Rises, opening the floodgates for critics from around the movie blogosphere to weigh in with their thoughts about Christopher Nolan's climactic chapter to his grisly Caped Crusader trilogy. The film is as critic-proof as they come, yet the question lingers: Is it the crown jewel in a popular blockbuster franchise, which has been lauded as much for technical achievements as for storytelling merits (Toy Story 3)? Or does it buckle under the weight of bloated expectations, as has happened with many a trilogy finale in the past (The Godfather: Part III, Spider-Man 3)?
Scroll on down to read some SPOILER-FREE samples culled from some the first Dark Knight Rises reviews to hit the Web, and see what you think. Check in later this week for Screen Rant's official review of the film.
[NOTE: Do NOT post any Dark Knight Rises SPOILERS in the comments section, be they real or fake. If you do, your comment will be deleted.]
From Variety:
Few blockbusters have borne so heavy a burden of audience expectation as Christopher Nolan's final Batman caper, and the filmmaker steps up to the occasion with a cataclysmic vision of Gotham City under siege in "The Dark Knight Rises." Running an exhilarating, exhausting 164 minutes, Nolan's trilogy-capping epic sends Batman to a literal pit of despair, restoring him to the core of a legend that questions, and powerfully affirms, the need for heroism in a fallen world. If it never quite matches the brilliance of 2008's "The Dark Knight," this hugely ambitious action-drama nonetheless retains the moral urgency and serious-minded pulp instincts that have made the Warners franchise a beacon of integrity in an increasingly comicbook-driven Hollywood universe.
From THR:
The real world threats of terrorism, political anarchy and economic instability make deep incursions into the cinematic comic book domain in The Dark Knight Rises. Big-time Hollywood filmmaking at its most massively accomplished, this last installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy makes everything in the rival Marvel universe look thoroughly silly and childish. Entirely enveloping and at times unnerving in a relevant way one would never have imagined, as a cohesive whole this ranks as the best of Nolan's trio, even if it lacks -- how could it not? -- an element as unique as Heath Ledger's immortal turn in The Dark Knight. It's a blockbuster by any standard.
From IGN:
The film has several exciting action set-pieces, many of which utilize the aerial vehicle The Bat, but none of which provoke the kind of jaw-dropping reaction that the truck flip did in The Dark Knight. Still, there are enough brawls, chases, and stuff going boom to satisfy hungry action fans. The battle in the streets pitting Bane's army against Batman and the GCPD is quite a sight to behold in IMAX. Speaking of which, far more of this film was shot in IMAX than The Dark Knight, but the transitions here between full screen IMAX and the almost "letterbox" effect of regular film can be jarring. That said, IMAX really is the best way to watch this movie. The aforementioned gripes aside, director Christopher Nolan and his team have delivered the grandest, most emotional and superheroic chapter in their Batman saga. The Dark Knight Rises is a fitting emotional and narrative conclusion to this particular interpretation of the enduring story of Bruce Wayne the man and Batman the legend.
From Coming Soon:
Rather than drawing from the comics, Nolan instills real world issues into his Gotham City with a conflict that forays into corporal punishment, the stock exchange and ideas for sustainable energy--all things we might regularly read about in the papers, which either will make the situations more relatable or will have you rolling your eyes at having politics mixed in with your entertainment. Making a story that revolves around the distinction between Gotham's haves and have nots—something that's permeating many works of fiction right now--may seem fairly hypocritical for a filmmaker who is probably living as comfortably as Bruce Wayne by now. Fortunately, many of these issues are at least partially forgotten once Bane finally emerges in the Gotham daylight and we see the scope of his master plan to terrorize Gotham City. [Nolan] also figures out a convincing way to wrap everything up in a nice bow, making one feel like he's created a bonafide Batman story in three movies that can stand up on its own merits completely separate from the comics or any previous incarnations.
From Hit Fix:
The technical side of things is sharper than ever before, and if this really is the last film that Wally Pfister shoots, he's going out in style. Even more of this film was shot with IMAX cameras than "The Dark Knight," and it makes for some breathtaking visual moments that match the emotional impact of the film's operatic final act. Hans Zimmer's work here is brutal, percussive, borderline crazy. It feels like things are starting to shake to pieces, like the entire world is about to implode. I found the final movement of the film, a good thirty minutes or so, almost unbearably emotional, and I think it may be the best stretch in any of the films. There are some logic issues I have with parts of the film, and we'll get into those in the "Second Look," but there is a clean, uncompromised emotional arc that steamrolls those problems for me, and I think the film more than fulfills the promise made by the first two films. ["The Dark Knight Rises"] confirms that these films have always had an endgame in mind, and it has been a remarkable ride, one I would not want to follow. Whoever Warner Bros hires to reboot the "Batman" films a few years from now, I wish you luck. The bar is as high as it could possibly be.
From The Playlist:
In a season filled with big movies that somehow ask even bigger questions, "The Dark Knight Rises" feels like the superego to its competition's id. An action opus that manages at to be both viscerally and intellectually engaging, Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated third Batman film comes full circle, examining both the Dark Knight and the society that produced him without sacrificing any of the sweeping thrills for which the series is known. A literate, thoughtful and invigorating finale, "The Dark Knight Rises" delivers everything audiences ask for and then some, albeit in fewer of the ways that they might expect. If, as Badass Digest argues, "The Avengers" "defeated irony and cynicism," then "The Dark Knight Rises" feels like the rock-bottom, lowest-point examination of ourselves which provides the substance to make Joss Whedon's optimistic vision endure. Because Nolan's film is a reminder that superheroes aren't merely a frivolous distraction, or even a wish-fulfillment fantasy, but an embodiment of our best selves – or at least what we want our best selves to be. A cinematic, cultural and personal triumph, "The Dark Knight Rises" is emotionally inspiring, aesthetically significant and critically important for America itself – as a mirror of both sober reflection and resilient hope.
Here's a breakdown of the initial critical reaction to Dark Knight Rises:
- Nolan's final Batman film captures the current cultural zeitgeist by touching on timely social issues. That aspect of TDKR could be regarded as preachy by some, insightful by others, depending on their own perspective.
- The IMAX footage is magnificent and demands to be seen in that format. The mixture of regular and IMAX material in TDKR can be shaky at times, but it's nonetheless an important step forward for the use of said technology as a cinematic storytelling tool.
- TDKR does offer a satisfying sense of closure to Nolan's interpretation of the Bruce Wayne story. Many moviegoers are going to walk away feeling not only emotionally-satisfied, but also that they've just seen the best installment in Nolan's Batman trilogy (though, obviously, there'll be disagreement on that point).

Most of them also include insight on where new additions Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) rank, in terms of staples from the Batman comics who've been brought to life in Nolan's Dark Knight saga.

It's getting cold here in Montreal fast and I'm in full comfort-food-mode now. Last week I posted a recipe for braised lamb pasta because I was craving something rich & hearty. I'm keeping up the meat 'n starch theme of that last dish here. We added a bunch of hearty winter dishes on our new menu at Chez Ma Grosse Truie Cheri and this recipe is inspired by one of them. We are serving braised leg of lamb on a bed of Du Puy lentils with bacon. The lentils and bacon are so good that I decided to make some for myself at home. Because I just did braised lamb last week, I went with one of green lentil's other classic dancing partners: sausage. I already had my heart set on bacon, so why not throw in some veal sausage and salami too?
When I buy green lentils, I always go for the Du Puy variety, sometime labeled as "French lentils." They are smaller and darker than regular green lentils and I like them because I find their texture much better. You can cook them for longer without them getting mushy, and when they're still a bit of crunchy they are so delicious. Du Pu lentils a bit more expensive, but lentils are usually pretty cheap anyway, so it's worth the extra buck or two. Even though Du Puy lentils are a bit tougher, they are still easily overcooked, so you will have to keep a close eye on them if you want a perfectly-tender-but-not-too-soft texture.
As for which sausage to choose, there are lots of different kinds that would be good in this dish. Veal sausage is a pretty traditional accompaniment for lentils so that's what I went with here. Mergez or Italian sausage could work just as well. I like to use two different kinds, one fresh and one cured, to get a contrast of flavours and textures. For the fresh sausage I used Boudin Blanc or "white pudding." It's a French pureed white meat sausage that is basically a veal hotdog. The kind I used was pre-cooked. If you buy raw sausage, boil it for 8 minutes and then let it cool before slicing and sautéeing it. For the cured sausage I used an Italian Chianti salami. If want to keep things French, you could always go for Rossette de Lyon or any other sausisson.
Prep time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes Yields 4 appetizers or 2 main courses.
1 1/2 cups Du Puy Lentils
3 1/2 cups + 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 cup carrots, peeled & diced
1 cup onion, peeled & diced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 cups mushroom, quartered
100g bacon, chopped
150g veal sausage, halved lengthwise & sliced
150g salami, halved lengthwise & sliced
1/2 teaspoon worchestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoon white wine (optional)
1. Rinse the lentils and then place them in a pot with the carrots and 3 1/2 cups beef broth. Season with a couple pinches of salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer until most of the broth has been absorbed by the lentils, about 8 minutes.
2. While the lentils are cooking, place the bacon in a cold frying pan or wide-bottomed pot and place on medium-high heat. When the bacon starts to sizzle, add the onions.
3. Once the onions start to brown, add the mushrooms, followed by the sausage & salami. Sautee everything together until all the ingredients are nicely browned and then add the garlic. Sautee for one minute more and then deglaze with 2 tbs white wine or water. Season with salt & pepper.

Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On the game:
"We started the first half really well but we lost our mental composure towards the end. However, in the second half, we played great defensively and did a good job of maintaining a solid lead."
On Bradley's 10-2 run at the end of the first half:
"We could not handle their zone defense and there were some mistakes in our half court game and that combination can be scary for a team."
On what was said to the team during halftime?
"I just told them to relax. They were playing really tight and I believe they got a bit rattled in the end of the first half. So we tried to ease their minds and told them to play our kind of basketball and they did a great job regrouping in the second half."
On the problem's Monica Rogers posed for the Broncos:
"She had a lot of easy looks in the paint and we played far off of her. Our second rotations on defense were not efficient and because of that she got easy drops. We didn't have an opportunity to see her on tape but just looking at stats we knew she would be a player to watch out for."
On Chandice Cronk's performance in her homecoming:
"Chandice was very solid for us tonight. I think she was more nervous than usual because there were a lot of people she knew in the stands, but she just let the game come to her and she took the right shots and did a great job."
On Jen Gottschalk's back-to-back team-high performances:
"Jen had a great second half. She went 5-for-8 from the field and 4-for-5 at the free throw line. She did of different things for us tonight."
On Tracey Walker's Player of the Game honors:
"Tracey's performance in the first half was her best basketball of the year. She played hard and did a very good job on both ends of the court in the first half. In the second half, we saw some things that were uncharacteristic of Tracey but she played 40 minutes for us tonight and, towards the end, she regrouped and kept her composure."
Senior Tracey Walker
On being named Player of the Game:
"I did not go out there tonight hoping that I would be named Player of the Game. I just wanted to get the win and move onto the championship game. I just feel like I played a good game and I have to thank my teammates for pulling out the win."
On playing UAA in the championship game:
"We came here to beat them on their home court. When we beat Boise State on Saturday, it was like beating Nicole Gall's hometown team because she's from Boise, and we told Chandice that we were going up to Alaska to beat her hometown team and bring the championship back home to Cali with us."
