I really like it and how fast it remains! I'm quite new to themes but I was wondering is there a way to make a shortcut/hotkey for universal search and messages? If I leave universal search on, I can still use the shortcuts whilst the unassigned ones can still do the search (tho i do need to delete a letter I typed) . Using this theme, I kinda miss the expanding notifications bar but if there was an option to enter into it from the homescreen then I'd hardly ever have to leave the home screen.
In the end my suggestions really don't add to much that I can't find other ways to deal with it. e.g shortcuts or convenience key.
I love what you did and your minimalist approach, I'm digging the hotkeys, the one button press to get to the application screen and the subtle return to the home screen when it begins to power down - I can see more of my wallpaper and I like that you didn't tamper with the battery icon etc .
I loved the panes on the default but I can see how ppl would prefer this and shortcuts.
what do you mean "Clock on the Homescreen is a shortcut" - are you talking about when i press down on the trackpad?
Only one nitpick in your design, when you go to the icon screen the battery and connection icons aren't aligned with the homecreen at the top.
Thanks for your time.

FRantic... you rock!

@zensen: Hotkey for Universal Search is planned for the first revision. Somehow it doesn't work at the moment, so I'll have to look into that. The alignment will be adressed aswell.

I have been tweaking Bare! here and there.
I've added some hotkeys (search and facebook) and did some layout tweaking.
I'll be testing this for a few days and if it works without issues, I'll release v1.1 here.
Stay tuned !!

I keep asking about this once a while, as I do think the OS 6.1 (or 7) clock icon match quite good the shiny profile icon
Attached the icon + resized icon (credits to the sabisgeek for extracting them a while back and posting in the theme developers section)

Please consider adding these(it doesn't matter to me which keys to assign to the apps, just some suggestions):
W: Whatsapp
Shift+N: Blackberry News Feeds
Shift+G: Google Maps
Shift+B: Bolt Browser
Shift+T: PB Task Manager (BlackBerry App World - PB TaskManager - keep your phone faster)
Very good for killing unresponsive apps, the trial works forever I think it's ad supported.

It is a great weekend to be downtown Grand Rapids. There is a lot going on whether you are a family, bar hopper, artist or foodie. Here are a few highlights:
- The Pyramid Scheme: If you like live music, a good crowd, and great drinks you will definitely want to check out the schedule at The Pyramid Scheme. Friday night Chicago imports The Steepwater Band will play some hard core rock and roll. Their opening act will be American Babies and doors open at 8pm. Show is 18 and up and tickets are $10 at the door. Saturday night, He We continues their first headlining tour. Joining them will be Windsor Drive, Deas Vail, and Carielle from Grand Rapids. Tickets are $14 at the door and this is an all ages show with doors opening at 6:00pm. Check out the Pyramid Scheme's website for all the details.
- La Boheme: Maybe rock and roll isn't your style. For more classical fans, Grand Rapids Opera presents La Boheme. They have clearly saved the best of the season for their last show. It is the most frequently produced opera in North America and inspired the musical and movie Rent. The opera house is gorgeous and the talent is superb. Don't miss this show. Tickets range from $29-$94 and the show begins at 7:30 pm. You can purchase tickets here.
- Fulton Street Farmer's Market: One of the best things about visiting Grand Rapids is all the farm to table restaurant options. The reason we have so many options is that we have a ton of great local farmers. Meet them up close and personal at the kick off of the Fulton Street Farmer's Market. Grab an amazing cup of coffee, check out the fresh fruits and veggies, nibble on some pastries and brighten up your day with a big bouquet. The market is open from 8 am- 3 pm. Find out what's in season on their website.
- Cinco De Mayo Fiesta: It is Cinco de Mayo time in Grand Rapids. And the Arena Distract is celebrating. From 4-10 pm on Saturday, anyone 21 and over can head over and enjoy a tequila and beer tent, food, salsa lessons and live music. Also Buffalo Wild Wings will be hosting a wings eating contest. Ionia Street will be blocked off from Fulton to Weston and $15 will get you in the party for the day. Ole!!

RePlay Music Studios, a West Village studio that offers music programs for preteens and teens, is offering two more sessions of its rock band summer day camp, and will offer after-school programs and lessons in Manhattan.
At Replay Music Studios, kids are placed in bands and coaches help them collaborate, write, and perform.
RePlay Music Studios is offering a new summer camp this year. Replay Music Studio's Rock Band Summer Camp has two sessions left: Aug. 18 and Aug. 25.
The camp is for preteens and teens ages 8-18 who want to "express themselves in a musical way that is fun and empowering," says owner John Rubin. The weeklong camp runs Monday-Friday from 1-5pm and, at the end of the week, the campers perform at a club in Tribeca.
RePlay Music Studio is also gearing up to continue offering its after-school programs—Discovering Rock and Band Coaching—and lessons. Discovering Rock is targeted toward kids who have either never played in a band before or are relatively new to their instrument. It is 1 hour a week and has a curriculum that is "flexible and individualized," Rubin says. Band Coaching is a more intensive option. It is 1½ hours a week and includes a 90-minute jam session every Friday night. As a part of this program, students receive a 25-percent discount on individual lessons. Both after-school programs are concluded with a showcase at the end of the semester at Rockwood Music Hall on the Lower East Side.
After-school lessons are one-on-one and focus on students learning a specific instrument. Instructors aim to occur weekly. All lessons and after-school programs are for ages 8-18 and use a high-quality video and audio recording system so that students and parents can view their progress.

The 2007-2009 Financial Crisis: Changing Market Dynamics and the Impact of Credit Supply and Aggregate Demand Sensitivity
This paper highlights the impact of credit supply and aggregate demand sensitivity on 91 US industries' stock performance during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. We account explicitly for changes in the market model and investigate, next to stock returns, the changes in systematic risk and idiosyncratic return induced by the financial crisis. The results show that leverage has a significantly positive effect on systematic risk changes during the financial crisis. After accounting for the change in systematic risk, the crisis induced idiosyncratic return is significantly related to industry leverage and the industry's sensitivity to aggregate demand. A subsequent analysis shows that both leverage and demand sensitivity have economically large effects on industry performance during the crisis.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
--David Harrild, MD, assistant in Cardiology
If your infant or child has been diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries (TGA), an understanding of the condition will help you to cope with this rare and complex congenital (present at birth) heart defect. While very serious, TGA is treatable surgically at Boston Children's Hospital, and the outlook for the vast majority of babies with this cardiac defect is excellent.
This discussion refers to a heart defect known as "d-transposition of the great arteries" ("d-TGA," "transposition," "TGA"). Another type—"l-transposition" ("l-TGA," "corrected transposition")—is similar in some ways to d-TGA, but very different in others, and requires a different treatment program from what's described here.
In TGA, the "great" arteries are reversed in their origins from the heart, with the aorta connected to the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery connected to the left ventricle—exactly the opposite of the normal heart's anatomy.
With these arteries reversed, oxygen-poor (blue) blood returns to the right atrium from the body, passes into the right ventricle, then goes into the aorta and back to the body. And oxygen-rich (red) blood returns to the left atrium from the lungs and passes into the left ventricle, which pumps it back to the lungs—the opposite of the way blood normally circulates. The oxygen-poor (blue) blood cannot meet the body's demands, and this situation cannot support life.
Our team in Boston Children's Cardiac Surgery Department understands how distressing a diagnosis of TGA can be for parents. You can have peace of mind knowing that our surgeons treat some of the most complex pediatric heart conditions in the world, with overall success rates approaching 98 percent—among the highest in the nation among large pediatric cardiac centers. We use the following elements to provide the best possible outcomes:
Transposition of the great arteries: Reviewed by David Harrild, MD

We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

Google Introduces Mobile Audit Capability for Business Users
Mobile-device administrators at organizations that have signed up for the premium business version of Google Apps now have a new tool for auditing activities on managed Android and iOS devices.
Google's new Mobile Audit feature, announced this week, gives Google Apps administrators a way to audit activities like operating system updates, application installations, or removals and settings changes that an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet user might make on their devices.
The audit capability is available on all enterprise mobile devices running either operating system that are currently being managed by Google Mobile Management.
Activities that are monitored by Mobile Audit will be available to Google Apps administrators in the administrative console on the accounts activity reports page. Administrators can use the console to run queries against mobile device users and get a detailed report on their activities. Administrators can also use the console to set alerts for specific activities that a user or a set of users might take with their mobile devices.
The feature will let administrators audit a range of user activities on managed Android and iOS devices, Google said.
"With this new feature, administrators will be able to query all of the Mobile Audit information by user, by device or by event," said Sumit Chatterjee, product manager, Google Mobile Management, and Wesley Chun, developer advocate of Google Apps, in a post on the company's Apps Developer Blog. The feature also will let administrators carry out tasks like verifying if all managed mobile devices in the enterprise are running the latest security updates or to get a quick rundown of all devices that have been newly registered on the enterprise network.

I often use sarcasm to make the point that compliance solutions are just a profound grasp of the obvious. It is a little simplistic.
On the other hand, compliance can become a little too complex. People like to come up with "sophisticated" techniques and phraseology to demonstrate they are "compliance thinkers." Compliance professionals who wrap themselves in complexity are usually hiding from their own personal failings.
I approach the issue from a different angle – I measure a person's intelligence by his or her ability to explain complex issues in simple terms, or to come up with effective solutions that are relatively simple. Not because I have a "simple" mind but because I know that the easier to understand an idea, the greater the chance that it will be adopted and implemented.
Everyone has their favorite recipes (for good food) and compliance. I tend to focus on three important compliance principles as my guiding lights for compliance programs. They are relatively straight-forward: (1) Structure; (2) Processes; and (3) Results.
Structure: A compliance program has to have an effective structure. For example a chief compliance officer cannot be exiled to the basement office while reporting to the legal officer. To the contrary, an effective structure starts with the board and the specific committee responsible for overseeing the compliance program. Senior management then has to play an important role in the management and support of the compliance program.
The chief compliance officer and his or her staff need to establish basic reporting lines to the board and to the CEO. In the absence of these structural basics, in many cases, the compliance program will be sub-optimal.
The Federal Sentencing Guidelines established basic structural rules for an "effective" compliance program, including a direct reporting relationship between the chief compliance officer and the board committee responsible for compliance. Of course, this is not always the case depending on the size and nature of the company, as well as its specific risks and operations. For the most part, the structural rules are best practices and should be applied unless there are significant countervailing considerations.
Processes: An appropriate compliance structure is meaningless if there are inadequate (or non-existent) processes to identify risks, develop compliance policies and procedures and conduct business while minimizing those risks. In the anti-corruption context, a risk assessment and tailored policies and procedures to conduct due diligence of third parties or acquisition targets or provide gifts or meals to foreign officials are important examples of compliance processes.
Results: Finally, a compliance program must be measured and "results" must be captured to evaluate the performance of the compliance program, changes in risks, and possible modifications to the compliance program to improve the performance of the program.
The FCPA Guidance suggested that a compliance program should continuously improve through monitoring, measurement and modification. This all makes sense. The trick is how and what to measure to identify meaningful results. It is always hard to measure the performance of anything by the absence of an event or the absence of a violation of company policy or the law. These issues can be solved and compliance professionals are creative when it comes to measuring the performance of their compliance programs.

Graham Hancock, an expert in ancient civilisations and author of the nine million selling Fingerprints of the Gods, and expert too, on the use of hallucinogens to achieve higher states of consciousness, brings these two interests together in the second volume of the War God trilogy.
The conquistador Hernán Cortés is dreaming of Tenochtitlan, the golden city of Aztecs. But in order to win the Aztecs' gold, Cortés and his small force of just 500 men will have to defeat the psychotic emperor Moctezuma and the armies of hundreds of thousands he commands.
Cortés expects that the Tlascalans, hereditary enemies of the Aztecs, will join him, but instead finds himself locked in a deadly struggle. As Cortés risks all against the Tlascalans, he plays mind games with Moctezuma, aiming to defeat the Aztec emperor psychologically before ever having to face him in battle.
In this he is aided by his lover Malinal, a beautiful Mayan princess. It is from Malinal that Cortés learns of the myth of Quetzalcoatl, 'The Plumed Serpent'. She shows him how to exploit the prophecy of the fabled god king's return to weaken Moctezuma's resolve and keep alive the suspicion that the conquistador might actually be Quetzalcoatl himself.

They should be the safest buildings in the land, but there have been almost 300 blazes at fire stations in the past five years, new figures reveal.
The list of domestic appliances responsible for fires – including microwaves, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and toasters – will embarrass fire safety officers who have ploughed vast sums of money into public awareness campaigns, such as adverts telling smokers to 'Put it out, right out' and advising people to opt for takeaways rather than cook at home after a night out.
A smouldering cigarette butt, an unattended chip pan and a chair left next to a heater were among other causes of a series of incidents on fire brigade property.
The data was obtained by The Independent via Freedom of Information requests to the UK's 54 fire services. While many of the 279 incidents at fire stations and 39 fires on vehicles are described as "minor" some resulted in dozens of firefighters responding.
In Worcester, nine firefighters fought a blaze at the fire station caused by a cigarette that had been "carelessly" disposed of. Hereford and Worcester Fire Service said 16 fires at stations over the five-year period "could still be considered low" given the size of its area.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service ran up a damages bill totalling £184,272 for a blaze and explosion at Epworth Fire Station in 2011 – 24 firefighters were needed to bring it under control.
The national cost of such incidents could run into millions. For the 16 brigades that collected data on the financial impact of each incident, the combined bill was £945,875, though some of this will have been paid by insurance.
Not included in the data is the destruction of the fire station at Downham Market, Norfolk, last month, as it happened after the requests were submitted.
Despite the stations being manned around the clock – and of course being equipped with all the latest extinguishing equipment – fire services have been quick to say that fires can happen anywhere and at any time.
Water jets and breathing apparatus were used to bring two "major fires" under control on fire brigade property in Northern Ireland. The total cost for repairing and remodelling the affected buildings, including Rathfriland Station in County Down, which was gutted in 2009, was £711,842.
Three fire engines were also destroyed over the period, which Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said served as a "stark reminder of the dangers of fire".
"These incidents... help emphasise our message to the community that fire does not discriminate – it can happen to anyone, including the fire service, at any time, in any building," a spokesman said.
West Midlands Fire Service had more blazes on its property than any other service. The 53 incidents included five kitchen fires and six incidents involving fire engines.
It said: "We set the bar extremely high when it comes to fire prevention and detection, and have rigorous testing and maintenance programmes."Reuse content

I mod the Smogon Forums. Feel free to ask me any questions!
Ok this might be a stretch... actually it is a stretch. I was wondering if it would be possible to update the Join Avenue page with a picture showing the phrase the customers say when they want to find a specific store and having an outline on the key words. Then, maybe have a table that has all the "key words" in Japanese along with the store name and translations so that people playing this (until the English release) could upgrade their Join Avenues a bit easier?

Just wanted to say kudos to Webmaster Serebii for the comprehensive update to the B.W. Dream World pages with missing moves, new Pokemon, type preferences, etc. They're very thorough now, and are exactly what I had hoped for!
Also, the Hidden Hollows overhaul is a solid addition to the site.

This was on the Serebii.net news bulletin. Any chance of getting some avatars of this new footage? In addition, any chance for some of the Black2/White2 Pokewood sprites to become avatars?A free-to-rent DVD in Japan is offering the recent Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 introduction movie. However, this copy of the DVD includes a longer version of the introduction movie, with a one minute scene featuring Mei and Serperior facing up against Cheren's Gym. As such, I've re-done the images for this special. In addition to that, the AniméDex has been updated with the new contents of this short. Click the picture to go to the gallery
I was wondering if there could be the forums could include the option of notifying a user if they've been quoted or not. Of curse, every user has a choice weather or not they wnat to be notified, but nevertheless, I was wondering if this option could be included.

Maybe an app?

Hmmm maybe being able to use previous user bars, if that's possible.
Like, when you get a new userbar you just unlock it, but don't have to stick with it.
Maybe allow users to post in the competitive discussion board itself and not having to go into the two sub-boards within it to post. Sometimes people want to post topics that relate to competitive on it's own and not a certain gen or tier.

Two places we went to that I wanted to mention were the Van Gogh museum which was really cool. It was set up chronologically by Vincent's life and it was interesting to hear his life story and then see how it affected the changes in his art. It was a Friday night when we went so the museum was open late and there was a nice bar set up and a DJ. Not like the museums back home I guess?

With roughly one million inhabitants, Sendai (ÉÕæõ) is by far the largest city in the Tohoku Region and one of the country's 15 largest cities. The modern city of Sendai was founded around 1600 by Date Masamune, one of feudal Japan's most powerful lords. Many of Sendai's tourist attractions are related to Masamune and his family.
Sendai was the closest major city to the epicenter of the earthquake of March 11, 2011. The tsunami devastated the city's coastal outskirts but did not cause major damage in the city center. Virtually all tourist spots reopened within a few months of the earthquake.
Less than an hour northeast of the city center lies the town of Matsushima, whose bay is dotted by pine clad islets and is known for one of Japan's three most scenic views.

A father accused of starting the fire in which his six children died said he had sex and smoked cannabis to blot out the horror of the blaze.
Mick Philpott, 56, put his head in his hands and slumped forward, doubling up and slipping out of sight in the witness box, as he gave evidence in his defence at the manslaughter trial.
"I was finding it very hard to cope. Having sex and smoking cannabis was one way of blocking it out. It was my idea not my wife's," he told Nottingham Crown Court.
The unemployed driver recalled feeling "hysterical" as he tried at first to punch and then smash through an upstairs window with a child's tennis racquet in a bid to rescue the six children who were asleep at the family home in Victory Road, Derby, last May when the fire started.
Mr Philpott described how he and his wife Mairead were woken by the smoke alarm shortly after 2am.
He said he spotted an "orange glow" and on realising the house was alight he thought "my kids". After failing to reach the children's bedrooms upstairs he got dressed and used a ladder to climb to a first floor window.
"I was hysterical. How do you explain trying to get into your babies? You can't explain it," he said.
Earlier Mr Philpott, wearing a dark suit and a purple tie, described how he and his wife Mairead, 31, had spent the evening of the blaze with friend Paul Mosley, 46. All three deny six charges of manslaughter in relation to the fire.
The jury was told how Mr Philpott drove to a house to purchase cannabis for Mr Mosley. Later, after playing snooker with his friend whilst his wife watched television and made cups of coffee, the three engaged in a sexual act of which he said he was now "ashamed".
He said the night of the fire was the first time the trio had had sex together. They were to go on to do it "three or four" times after the blaze including one occasion which was captured on a police surveillance tape, the court heard. "It was something that happened and it shouldn't have happened but I'm not happy," he said.
Mr Philpott also said that the couple had been "dogging" previously in which they would be watched and watch other couples having sex.
On one occasion Mairead had become pregnant after having sex with a stranger and underwent an abortion, he said. Mr Philpott said he had been too ashamed to tell police about his sexual behaviour and drug taking.
Giving evidence the father of 17 admitted that neighbours found his living arrangements with his wife, mistress and their 11 children "disgusting".
He said he regretted previous television appearances on Jeremy Kyle and with Ann Widdecombe after which they received death threats and people began to shout at him and his family in the streets.
Mr Philpott said he decided to take part in the programmes because he needed a bigger house. "They (people) called them (the children) brats, scum of the earth," Mr Philpott said.
Under questioning from Anthony Orchard QC he conceded that he was not a shy man and that he often made enemies with people - until they got to know him, he claimed.
"I come across as too strong, too powerful. I have always been a happy go lucky guy," he said.
Mr Philpott denied controlling and bullying the two women with whom he lived. Both went to work. He drove them to their jobs and the children to school each day whilst undertaking "general fatherly duties" such as playing snooker, darts and teaching the children to write, he said.
Both women's wages were paid into his bank account along with the family's benefit payments. But he told the jury that they had access to money and were free to come and go as they pleased. "My wallet was always left on the side with the bank cards in it. They never had to ask for money," he said.
Mairead did the bulk of the housework and childcare, he said, whilst his "bond" with his mistress Lisa Willis, who had five children – four by him - had become stronger until they were "inseparable".
He would spend the day with his wife whilst sleeping with his mistress in a caravan parked outside the home. "I treated her (Lisa) like a queen," he said.
However, she eventually left him in the months leading up to the blaze taking the children with her despite him having asked his wife "three or four times" for a divorce.
Mr Philpott and Ms Willis became embroiled in a battle for custody of the children. They were due to go to court on the morning of the blaze. Ms Willis had previously obtained a non-molestation order against her former lover.
At the time of the fire, which was started by petrol poured in the hallway of the house late at night, the Philpotts and their six children were content in the three bedroom house, he said.
Jade, 10, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died during the blaze. Their brother Duwayne, 13, was taken to Derby Royal Hospital and transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital but died three days later.
The trial continues.

What good is a Penfolds Grange Cabernet Sauvignon if its bottle is identical to Barefoot? A Rolls Royce without its signature double R and boxy wide grill? Or a handmade Davidoff Churchill cigar without the Prime Minister's silhouette?
After all, too much wine could one day kill you. So can cars. The risks of smoking are well known. Why not make all of life's luxuries—big and small—uniform, mundane, and so indistinguishable that they are, alas, unappealing?
Nanny-staters in Australia have done just that in their crusade against smoking, stripping brands and logos away from not just cigarettes, but cigars, which are not addictive and not inhaled. As a result, the plain packaging law the country passed five years ago is having devastating consequences for an economy a world a way that depends on tobacco: the Dominican Republic, and the men and women who make that nation's premium handmade cigars.
Plain packaging laws rest on the belief that consumers are so weak-minded that a shiny label will get them hooked on smoking. Strip away the Marlboro font, leave it with the blandest olive-green color, uniform type, add a photo of a dying person for dramatic effect, and kids won't smoke.
Studies suggest the law has reduced the appeal of cigarette smoking, though those results occurred at the same time excise taxes continued to increase. Other studies found no evidence the law has been a success.
Cigars were not the stated target of Australia's plain packaging law, but nevertheless got wrapped into the legislation. Stripping trademarks and brands from the handmade cigars produced in the Dominican Republic—the largest exporter in the world—not only affects their economy; it offends their heritage.
'We call it democratic crop'
"We had tobacco before we had a country," said Roberto Despradel, an economist and vice president of DASA, a Dominican based consulting firm.
Despradel led the first meeting on a press junket organized by the Dominican Republic government to Santo Domingo, which would turn into a week of briefings by officials, walkthroughs of tobacco factories, sharing smokes with cigar moguls, and a tour of the Santiago countryside.
The purpose of the trip was clear. The government desperately wants to change the narrative that plain packaging is only about consumer health, and to gather support in its case against Australia before the World Trade Organization.
The Dominican Republic is still a developing economy, but it is developing swiftly. GDP was up 7 percent in 2015. The country is largely dependent on the tobacco industry, its second largest job creator, employing over 118,000 people. The industry exports roughly $780 million worth of handmade cigars per year. The vast majority goes to the United States, and the rest mostly to the European Union.
Although Australia only accounts for a small portion of its tobacco exports, the Dominican Republic fears other countries will adopt similar laws, and is seeking a favorable decision from the WTO to turn the tide against plain packaging.
The Dominican Republic is constantly trying to attract new businesses to its "Free Zones," regions mainly in the north central area with low tax rates. Plain packaging makes it nearly impossible for new tobacco companies to flourish. Established cigar makers like Davidoff or Romeo y Julieta could, perhaps, survive solely on the strength of their names. The same cannot be said of new manufacturers that could not establish their brand.
"When you eliminate the brand of the product you reduce the value of the product," Despradel said. "It becomes a lower class product."
Katrina Naut, the director of foreign trade for Dominican Republic's Office of Foreign Trade, which is responsible for trade agreements, emphasized that evidence plain packaging works is spotty, but said that it has very real consequences for her country.
"How can you take a measure you don't even know will work [until] generations down the road, while damaging an economy like the Dominican Republic in the process?" she said. "What are we doing? [It's about] how to control what you buy and what we can sell. At some point this is going out of control."
"First of all, we believe that we are right in defending our nation," said Dominican Republic Ambassador to the WTO Luis Manuel Piantini, who looks like a man of the old world, and speaks in a thick accent.
"We call it democratic crop," Piantini said. "It is not only a crop, it represents, in a certain sense, the nationality of the Dominican Republic."
Piantini understands that there can be restrictions on smoking—he has to smoke his cigars on the roof, not inside—but said it ultimately comes down to choice.
"Tobacco is just simply a pleasure," he added. "You have it after dinner. You have it with a drink. It's not a vice. Human kind, men, have lived in freedom and been raised in freedom to choose what they want."
An emphasis on protecting health was frequently voiced throughout meetings during with diplomats, politicians, and trade officials. Much like the pizza chains fighting Obamacare's bizarre calorie labeling regulations or the school cafeteria associations fighting for a little bit more salt in kid's lunches, Dominican government officials found it necessary to toe the politically correct line of insisting they agree with the Australian government's stated aim to promote public health.
It wasn't until traveling to Santiago to be among the real cigar makers, moguls, and factory workers where their pride left no room for political correctness.
'Packaging is like dissecting my family, my mother. It's opening my heart'
A decade ago Carlito Fuente, a third generation cigar maker, started a school in Santiago called the Cigar Family. Essentially a charter funded by tobacco magnates and cigar-friendly donors, the school currently enrolls 450 children, who learn everything from foreign languages, math, and dentistry, to karate and dance.
David Luther, a developer who has lived in the Dominican Republic for six decades, waits at the door with dozens of children presenting an American flag. Around 70 years old, with a Margaritaville cap sitting atop his head, Luther is a good advocate for the school, which he calls the "showcase for educational excellence in the Dominican Republic."
Wealthy cigar aficionados travel to Santiago to see where the wrappers for Arturo Fuente cigars are made, unaware of Fuente's other passion: education.
"This is not just promotion to sell more cigars," Luther said. "He doesn't have to."
Thomas Keller, the chef of French Laundry, was visiting with Carlito Fuente and touring his facilities last week. He could end up being one of the many donors to the school who, by donating $2,000, earn a spot on a brick wall that exhibits an eclectic list including Rudy Giuliani, Dan Marino, and a small cigar shop in Fargo, N.D.
Luther met Carlito Fuente at a charity golf tournament organized by Dominican baseball legend Juan Marichal, a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants known for his high leg kick. It was there Fuente told Luther of his dream to build a small classroom for poor children in Santiago.
"I'm just a humble cigar maker," Fuente said. "I'm not a social worker. I'm not an educator. But I've been blessed and guided to find people like David and be able to accomplish these things."
Fuente said he's seen the community transformed in one decade from one of constant violence, to one of peace, all made possible by cigars.
"It's not about cigars; it's about people," he said. "And I think for some reason, I believe—I'm very religious—that something the most powerful thing on earth brought us to this community, not to give us what we receive—one of the most famous trademarks in the world in our industry of handmade cigars—but to make us aware of the situation. I think things don't happen by coincidence."
Fuente is notoriously press shy, but he allowed himself to be interviewed to make the case against plain packaging. Being asked about how the policies could affect the school, he said his blood pressure shot up "about 40 points."
"Packaging is like dissecting my family, my mother, it's opening my heart," Fuente said. "Packaging in my world—if you come to our factory we make all of our boxes—labels are part of history. It goes back for centuries of my heritage."
"Every single detail on the packaging label has an emotional meaning," he said. "It goes back to my grandfather, my grandmother, things in our life. To destroy that it's like getting Rembrandt, or getting some big painting and covering it up. It's destroying history."
"When they discovered America, when they came to this island—the first discovery of what the native people were doing, they were enjoying tobacco," Fuente said. "To us, when I light a cigar and that smoke goes up, I feel it embraces my grandfather."
"To destroy that by wanting to destroy packaging, it seems like it's immoral and it's wrong and it's politically—it's destructive."
The real smoke filled rooms
The pavilion attached to the Davidoff factory was filled with two-dozen cigar magnates, each with a cigar in one hand, drink in the other. It turned out Fuente was not alone in his passion for his country's tradition, and for the freedom to enjoy simple pleasures.
Nirka Reyes was entrusted with the premium Santiago cigar factory that has bared her family name for six generations.
"We take pride in what we do," she said, puffing away, calling handmade cigars the "most valuable heritage that we own."
"[The indigenous people] use the smoke of the tobacco as a way to communicate to the gods in a spiritual way for prayers," Reyes said. "And we can do that today. You will find this, and you see it around, you smoke with people from different cultures and you end up being friends. That is what the tobacco is for us. It is creating these ties that has descended from many generations. It is who we are."
Litto Gomez, whose La Flor Dominicana cigars are set apart by their distinctive, rich, peppery kick, echoed the sentiment.
"People go to the cigar shops, not only because they want to enjoy a cigar, but over time they have met friends," Gomez said, donning his signature Panama style hat, and smoking his full-bodied cigar. "They have met friends who are not necessarily from the same walk of life, different culture, different economic status, different vocation, and they all get together and they have great conversation."
"We don't make cigars; we make reasons to enjoy life," said Hamlet Espinal, a representative from Davidoff, one of the most highly revered cigars in the world.
The rooms at the Davidoff factory, where workers diligently perfect the Churchills, Montecristos, and Macanudos throughout the various stages of humidifying, aging, and rolling, are smoke filled, too.
One person rolls 400 cigars a day, and most enjoy a smoke while they do. It is here where each cigar gets its meticulous wrapping, setting the Puro D'oro apart from the Aristocrat.
"I wish you all one day you will really know what cigars are all about," Gomez said. "Through a little bit of nostalgia, the shops and the lounge, and not just what people do in the cigar lounge, it's something very special."
'A dying breed'
The case against Australia before the World Trade Organization began in 2012. A panel was formed in 2014, and a decision is expected in May or June.
Thirty-five parties have joined the Dominican Republic, including Honduras, Cuba, Indonesia, and Ukraine. America is listed as a third party on the case, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has expressed strong support for the Dominican Republic's cause, arguing plain packaging "undermines intellectual property, does not advance public health goals, violates international agreements, and sets a dangerous precedent for other industries."
Some government officials expressed optimism about the case, but Naut, the Dominican Republic's director of foreign trade, expects a ruling partly in favor of the Dominican Republic, and partly in favor of Australia.
"In the WTO you never win everything," she said.
The case is not about reversing Australia's law, but stopping other countries from adopting similar measures.
The efforts of the Dominican Republic may be too late. The European Union, Canada, France, and others are all considering plain packaging laws. The United Kingdom will become the second government to establish plain packaging in May, though the law will exempt cigars, which make up a declining market in the UK.
Such is the tendency of nanny-staters everywhere. A Democrat-controlled Congress and FDA under the Obama administration unsuccessfully tried to push through graphic warning labels on cigarettes, which a federal appeals court found violated the First Amendment. The latest targets of the FDA are electronic cigarettes, and cigars, as the agency vows to use "powerful regulatory tools" against all tobacco products.
A lingering question during the week in the Dominican Republic was, what took so long to fight back? Why is the government just now flying journalists from all over the world to make its case?
The answer lies in customs as old as the cigars themselves. By nature the people of the Dominican Republic are non-confrontational. They just want to live their lives. Why would they think some law a country passed 10,834 miles away would affect their way of life?
"We're like Jurassic Park, we're a dying breed," Carlito Fuente said. "I hope to be the last, but I hope that I'm not alone."
