Well, it's official. The European Commission called on the Hungarian government to suspend all further projects in connection with the construction of the Paks II nuclear power plant because Budapest hasn't followed EU rules governing open bidding procedures. Here is the official press release:
Commission opens infringement against HUNGARY for lack of compliance of the Paks nuclear power plant project with EU public procurement rules
The European Commission decided today to launch an infringement procedure against Hungary concerning the implementation of the Paks II nuclear power plant project. Following exchanges of information with the Hungarian authorities and a thorough assessment of the terms of the award, the Commission still has concerns regarding the compatibility of the project with EU public procurement rules. The Hungarian government has directly awarded the construction of two new reactors and the refurbishment of two additional reactors of the Paks II nuclear power plant without a transparent procedure. The Commission considers that the direct award of the Paks II nuclear power plant project does not comply with EU legislation on public procurement (Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC). The Directives consolidate the basic principles of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union of transparency, non-discrimination, and equal treatment. These principles seek to ensure that all economic operators have fair chances to participate in a call for tender and to win a contract. The European Commission has decided to send a letter of formal notice to Hungary, which constitutes an official request for information and is the first step in an infringement procedure. The Hungarian authorities now have two months to respond to the arguments put forward by the Commission.
As expected, the Orbán government is defiant. János Lázár in his usual fashion expressed his total disgust with Brussels and promised to bring suit against the Commission if necessary. In his harangue against the EU he judiciously avoided talking about the actual case, the lack of an open tender, which is an EU requirement. Instead, he talked about the EU allegedly prohibiting Hungary from signing bilateral commercial agreements with so-called third countries or such country's citizens. Hungary has "the right to sign agreements with China, the Arab countries, or for that matter with Russia." But of course, this is not the issue here. After all, as we learned from José Manuel Barroso's letter addressed to Viktor Orbán, which I published on Hungarian Spectrum today, the contract with Rosatom was considered to be legal as far as EU law was concerned. The way the contract was awarded, however, was another matter. Barroso in his letter made this eminently clear. Barroso did not, as Lázár now claims, "promise his support of the project in principle." On the contrary, he called attention to the problem of "the rules on public procurement and state aid." That was a signal of further probes into the legality of the deal.
Lázár is trying to divert the conversation from the real issue–defiance of EU laws that are on the books to ensure fair competition. Instead, he is trying to show that the controversy is the result of the outsize influence of western multinational corporations. After all, he said, Paks II is one of the largest projects underway in Europe. Large amounts of money can be made by being one of the contractors or suppliers. So, according to Lázár, the issue "is not political but commercial." Well, indirectly it might be commercial, but what the EU is directly complaining about is an illegal process. The Hungarian government transgressed several European laws and directives that are supposed to ensure equal opportunities to all.
János Lázár was right on one point. He bitterly complained about the length of time it took to deliver the infringement procedure. After all, it was about two years ago that the Hungarian government began final negotiations on the Paks II project. Indeed, it is hard to imagine that it would take two years of solid work to come to the conclusion that Hungary was in the wrong when it signed a contract with Rosatom without open competitive bidding. Népszabadság noted that despite all his blustering, Lázár said nothing about Hungary's total unwillingness to repeat the bidding process, this time with multiple applicants.
Attila Aszódi, the government commissioner in charge of the project, was asked by many media outlets to comment on the situation. Aszódi is described in his curriculum vitae as an "energy engineer" (energetikai mérnök). Before he was called to head this project he was a full professor at the Institute of Nuclear Technology at the Budapest Engineering University. So, I guess one cannot be terribly surprised that Aszódi is not well versed in legal matters. In his numerous interviews he painted a simplistic picture of the Hungarian position. In his opinion, since the European Union "raised no objections of principle to the agreement from the perspective of article 103," it means that "the Paks II project itself must be legal." A huge misunderstanding of the issue.
Meanwhile it turned out that the Hungarian government has spent a fair amount of money already on the project. Moreover, it has drawn on its loan agreement with the Russian government which, if the project comes to a halt, will have to be paid back immediately in one lump sum.
The most amusing news I read in the Hungarian media today was Rosatom's reaction to the EU suspension of the Paks II project. The mammoth Russian firm announced that "Rosatom follows the dialogue [between EU and the Hungarian government] and fully shares the opinion of János Lázár concerning the legality of the project." What a surprise.
The Hungarian government is desperately trying to find an effective way to make the problem disappear. One point they emphasize over and over is that no nuclear plant anywhere inside the European Union was built after an open bidding process. So far I have not heard any reporter who could prove or disprove this assertion. It would certainly be a worthwhile undertaking to find out whether the statement is true or not. And if true, what makes the Hungarian case different.

Ballyclare crank up their double quest
There were double celebrations for Ballyclare High as their firsts qualified for the Danske Bank Subsidiary Shield final with a 24-7 victory over Grosvenor Grammar and the seconds reached the Plate final.
Coach Mike McKeever was extremely proud of the team.
"Grosvenor had a strong squad and some good ball carriers but all our players and especially Jake McVicker and Aaron Playfair were superb," he said.
Josh Young and James Nelson carried well and had a high tackle rate.
Owen Kirk and Jack Lewis made their presence felt in the centre and Aaron Coleman, who missed the quarter-final, scored the try of the day, finishing off a move after some excellent continuity amongst the backs.
Their other try scorers were Playfair, Nelson and Owen Clarke. Adam Clarke converted two. Daniel Martin converted a Ben Davies try for Grosvenor.
Ballynahinch II took another step towards winning the junior double with a 24-7 win over Carrickfergus in the River Rock Towns' Cup quarter-finals.
Hinch took the lead with a pushover try by Ben Pentland but it was Aaron Ferris who was the real threat with two tries.
Ali Wright also touched down and kicked two conversions. An excellent pick up from a turnover by Carrick scrum-half Ken Topping led to right winger Ross Crymble scoring for Luke Whittal to goal.

I'm not a lawyer, not by any stretch, and my knowledge of the Canadian legal system is on par with my interest in the rules of ice hockey – which is to say utterly non-existent - but I feel fairly certain that had I acted on my feelings toward the Snippy Optometrist I encountered this week, I would likely as not be writing to you, dear reader, from deep within a dungeon somewhere beneath the surface of British Columbia.
We are in the "Prep" period of "Ice Blues" and "On The Other Hand, Death",
- two more of our "here!" private eye movies starring Chad Allen.
(go to www.heretv.com to order!!)
For those of you outside the motion picture business, "prep" is a film term meaning "let's shove the director into a little van and drive him all over hell's half acre and force him to make small talk with local hicks in order to convince them to let him take over their homes and lives long enough to shoot a movie in their town." This process general requires LOOKING at the locations in question, which obviously requires very good eyesight and, having been yanked out of my zen-like desert retreat with only a week's notice after my last movie wrapped, I didn't have time to attend to something as simple as a trip downtown to pick up some new contact lenses.
(By the way I know some of my fair readers have seen my picture in the various media outlets or perhaps have watched some interview with me on Entertainment Tonight, and I would like to set the record straight here and now: NO my contact lenses are NOT tinted, and how DARE you even consider it; the dazzling blue of my eyes is just another of nature's little gifts to me, and every morning as I prepare myself for the onslaught of human mundanity I gaze in the mirror and thank her for them. )
And so I was forced to take a few hours off from interviewing prospective thespians for my upcoming feature films - a process known as "the audition", generally involving me in a stuffy room watching a parade of unemployed waiters act out the same scene one after another for hours and hours until I can't even remember my own name – and make my way down to Ye Olde Eyeglasse Emporium, nestled deep in the heart of the Vancouver Gay Neighborhood; always trying to help the community, that's me.
In my most polite tones, I asked the reed thin young man behind the counter to order for me a supply of my weekly usage contact lenses, as I've done in at least half a dozen countries around the world over the years. But instead of simply doing AS HE WAS TOLD, the Snippy Optometrist glanced over his own obviously discounted eyewear at the document I'd given him – a valid prescription from my very own opthalmologist in Palm Springs -
- a place which knows a thing or two about failing eyesight I might add – and said "I can't take this". He handed it back to me, pursing his lips as if daring me to rise to the challenge.
And of course, like a fool, I did.
"What do you mean you can't?" I asked. "It's a prescription, if you don't have them in stock can you order them?"
"We don't accept prescriptions from the U.S.," he replied. "We have laws and rules here in the Canadian Health Care system."
"But," I said, trying very hard not to reach across the counter and test the strength of his larynx with my hands, "I've done it before. Lots of times. All over the world. In South Africa, for heaven's sake! It's just a prescription for contact lenses-"
"I'm sorry, sir," he sniffed with pride. "We legislate health care in Canada. Isn't it a good thing we legislate health care in Canada?"
Frankly, at that moment, I felt legislating a national Retroactive Abortion Service would be a better use of government funds. Was he suggesting that my doctor, a man I trust with my extremely valuable body, was just some unregulated moron who hung a sign on his door and starting poking people in the eyes?
But Canadians love their free health care, substituting their ability to get a free bandage on demand for any kind of national identity or patriotic pride, and I've learned over the years not to even attempt an argument along the lines of "well, if the wealthy could pay for their own, there would be more left over for the poor…"
Instead, I decided to throw in the towel immediately and just go along with the poor, deluded nincompoop. I've dealt with his type before, and they tend to take out their frustrations from years of being teased by schoolyard bullies for lisping and throwing baseballs "like a girl" on anybody who dares challenge their power Behind The Shop Counter.
"So what do I have to do?" I muttered, trying to act the part of a beaten man, hoping to get a bit of mercy out of this Ichabod Crane in eyewear.
"Make an appointment with the optician," he said, gesturing to the woman suddenly standing beside him.
"Okay," I said, "how about now?"
He looked at her. She smiled, shook her head.
"I could see you tomorrow at 1 pm," she said.
"So you're busy now," I wondered, looking around at the utterly empty store.
"Yes," she nodded. "Tomorrow at one."
The two of them stood there, smiling at me in that vaguely sinister way that all Children of the Damned have when they know there is no escape for their victim.
I agreed to their terms, and watched silently as the Snippy Optometrist wrote my name down next to "1 pm" in the otherwise completely BLANK appointment book.
"See you tomorrow," he said, and I managed to make it out the door before cursing all eyeglass selling homosexuals wearing striped sweaters to an eternity inside Wal-Mart.
I returned. At one pm. Sharp. There was nobody in the store, or at least that's how it appeared, until the back door opened at the slick stench of cheap fast food smeared on wax paper drifted out to me. The Optician emerged from this haze, wiping her paws on a paper towel, and looked at me blankly until I said:
"1 o clock, here I am!"
It took a full twenty seconds before a dim light seemed to go off in her head and she said "oh yes. The American."
Before I could tell her that, in fact, I was a Canadian who merely had the good sense to move south out of the cold, she gestured for me to sit down at her "examination desk". She pulled out a pen and paper and held her hand out:
"Do you have your prescription with you?"
At first I thought she was joking.
"No," I said. "The young man here said you didn't accept U.S. prescriptions."
Just then the Snippy Optometrist came out of the back room, French fry grease smudging his upper lip, and gave me a tight smile.
"Well," she said, "If you don't have a prescription you will have to see the doctor."
"But," I said, feeling the room begin to spin, "he said you wouldn't-"
"If you have a prescription, we can just get it filled for you," she said, getting up from the desk.
The Snippy Optometrist didn't say a word. I stood up, keeping my smile frozen in place, and headed for the door.
"I'll be right back," I said. "Unless you get too busy to see me?"
After a fast trip to the hotel to pick up my prescription, I returned to find the store filled with customers.
Nobody buying anything, mind you, just trying on eyewear: a heavyset woman who insisted on squeezing her melon-sized head into tiny "granny glasses"; a crying nine year old who didn't want to wear "any stupid things" and an elderly man who shouted at the mirror with each new pair of spectacles "Nope. Not them. Not the ones."
The Optician and Snippy Optometrist both saw me, but neither acknowledged my existence. I decided to play the waiting game myself, and just lurked around the shop, smiling over the shoulders of people looking at themselves in the mirror, until finally the Optician met my gaze.
"I have my prescription," I said, waving the paper as if I were a five year old with a new crayon drawing for the fridge. She took it from me, looked it over, and – with the ease of a hangman flipping the switch on the gallows – shook her head.
"I'm going to have to test your eyes."
"Why," I sputtered? "I thought you said the prescription was-"
"It's a U.S. prescription. I can't just take it, I have to check your eyes to make sure they're the same shape as they were when you got the prescription."
"But…" I pleaded, "the prescription is only two months old! How much could my eyes have changed in two months?"
"Not much," said the Optician. "Probably not at all. But we don't know for sure."
Snippy Optometrist nodded, and smiled.
"Isn't it good that we legislate health care here in Canada?"
I am wearing my glasses today. It makes me look smart, like a Director.
At least, that's what I'm telling myself as I'm sitting here, not in a some jail cell somewhere in Vancouver, charged with
Assault With Eyewear, but rather in the First Class Lounge of Alaska Airlines in San Francisco -
- (delayed again, I might add) on the way home for the weekend to go to my own Opthalmalogist – the savage, uneducated Witch Doctor that he is – and get my own damned contact lenses.

With strategizing and assisting in planting new DOC churches; The Missiongathering Movement offers the following for already existing/ established congregations:
Many of our urban centers in regions around the USA and Canada have been abandoned by the mainline churches. The Missiongathering Movement believes that the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is uniquely adept at bringing the movement of wholeness in the world to urban centers in your regions.
The Missiongathering Movement, as one of the fastest growing urban church planters and revitalizations within the Disciples of Christ wants to replanting/revitalize with doing a Missiongathering Christian Church in your region. We offer packages that will get your under utilized and empty properties breathing life into growing urban missional communities. With a dedicated replanting team who will provide both a network of other Missiongathering church leaders and boots on the ground leadership from Planting Pastor Richard McCullen. New Missiongathering Churches will grow your region by bringing in new "disciples" into the church.
By analyzing the neighborhood of each plant our team will create a new church community that speaks to and meets the needs of the wide demographics found in urban areas. Missional community engagement is one of the keys to success in any church plant. Missiongathering Churches are composed of people from all walks of life. Our congregational demographics are intergenerational, comprised of varying socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. By focusing on being a church of preaching the Gospel and living it out through direct actions within the community we are able to attract many people who have never heard of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) many of whom had given up on Church.
Each of Church plants has found creative methods for helping to finance their missional activity. This allows the planters to focus on growing the congregation while still being fiscally responsible. Each urban center has many exciting and different opportunities for your region's Missiongathering to be self sustaining if you know where to look. What do you have to lose? With investment from your region you can have a Missiongathering Church that is vibrant and growing within the first few months of being planted. You can be assured with our creative funding strategies that each new Missiongathering will be well on their way to fiscal independence within the first 20 months of being started. Each new plant will also be held in trust with their region meaning that your time and investment is secured for the future. If you think that you might have a city that needs a Missiongathering call or email us today!
Sometimes all a local Church needs to thrive is a little imagination and creativity. As experienced Church planters and church renewal consultants, the Missiongathering movement team is fully equipped to help your church or churches in your region see their ministry with new eyes. Our dedicated team is waiting for your call or email to bring new life or increase existing vibrancy to churches ready to reach a generation that needs us now more than ever.
Planting Pastor Rich McCullen with his years of experience and team of creative church consultants/planters will enable your existing congregations to create a new birthing of long established communities to stop the tide of aging and shrinking that many of our faithful churches have been experiencing.
Our Missional action oriented strategies are proven to reach people who had previously not attended any church on a regular basis. Rather than poaching from other denominations or congregations across town or reimagining process helps your local church create new "Disciples"!
More than a simple rebranding this process will take your existing congregation and transform it into what it always had the potential to be. By updating marketing, branding, and worship while staying faithful to the rich heritage and traditions of both the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the local congregation. These Churches would become a part of the Missiongathering network which enables your congregation to continue under their original moniker with reimagining who they will become as a missional intentional congregation.
Your community faith will benefit in being connected in a cohort of like-minded DOC Pastors and lay leadership across the country. Being able to participate in live seminars discussing strategies that are working and learning from each other. As a Regional Minister or local Pastor you know how isolating a life of ministry can be for both pastors and lay leadership. Missiongathering Movement DOC wants to help us bring in and retain all of the talent possible. If you know of a church in your region or you are a local Pastor in need of reimagining your faithful work please give us a call or email.
Sometimes a faithful congregation can be in the same place for so long that the neighborhood and people around them seem to have changed completely. Many of our local churches have been told that their only hope is to sell their building and be absorbed into other Disciples of Christ congregations in the area. At Missiongathering we want to help repair the ship not just offer life rafts. By selecting the rebooting process a local existing congregation are deciding not to give up the call that God placed on your church's leaders so many years ago. We are prepared and ready to reboot your existing congregation into a Missiongathering Church!! Through congregational renewal initiatives and meetings we will dream and visioncast a strategy that lovingly respects the faithful work of all those who have come before us and embraces a future where new families and persons can benefit from all of the hard work and devotion of previous members.
A reboot transforms a declining church into a missional action oriented ascent. Our team will help guide the existing congregation in the formation of a new roll out package that blends the character and heart of the past, with new life that can reach the spiritually seeking homeless Christians of today.
By choosing the reboot process your pastor and lay leadership will undergo training on how to make your church inviting to new attendees. You will learn how God is not done with the work that your church's leadership have put so many years into. Together we will learn how to serve the surrounding community, while also creating organic exposure of the church to the larger community. We also create together a strategy that will assure the church can remain funded while rebuilding a community of faithful sustainers.
Are you a Pastor or Lay Leader in a local Disciples of Christ church? Are you trying to faithfully serve your congregation and community but simply looking for like minded people who will dream with you as you look towards the future? The Missiongathering Movement is here to provide you with just that.
The Renew package is focused helping to give your already existing ministry a jumpstart on being able to serve the current generation and beyond without leaving your faithful congregations behind.
Planting Pastor Rich McCullen and his team of dreamers and thinkers are waiting to come to your local church. Providing pastoral and congregational training on the importance of everything from social media presence, with ways to update worship as a means of attracting people without a church family. Working in various forms from weekend retreats to week long strategy sessions. We can custom tailor our package to your needs.
So if you feel like your church has been just coasting for too long and you want to begin thriving again give us a call or email us. You are not alone and God has wonderful and exciting things planned for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). We are here to help you be faithful to the good work that you have already begun.

Juventus coach Antonio Conte is refusing to get carried away despite having started the 2011/12 Serie A season with two consecutive wins.
The 42-year-old former Siena tactician actively downplayed his team's title hopes, arguing that they still have some way to go to match AC Milan and fellow pace-setters Napoli.
"The Scudetto? The second day of the championship is too early to talk about such things," he told Corriere dello Sport following Juventus's 1-0 victory away to Siena, which leaves the Bianconeri in second place in Serie A.
"Other teams are ahead of us. In addition to AC Milan and Napoli, Lazio are dangerous too."
Nevertheless, the defeat of Siena has given Conte cause for optimism.
"This [Siena] is a difficult place," he added. "Many will suffer here, especially the big teams. But I liked the way Juventus played a lot."
Irrespective of his reservations, Juventus will be confident of maintaining their 100 per cent start to the season by defeating Bologna on Wednesday.

Celebrating International Mother Language Day 2017 at the Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies: "Towards Sustainable Futures through Multilingual Education"
On the occasion of International Mother Language Day 2017 (February 21) the Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies (BCIS) in Colombo, Sri Lanka hosted the Lecture, Questions and Answers (LQA) Session under the theme "Towards Sustainable Futures through Multilingual Education."
The LQA panel featured Mr. Riaz Hamidullah, High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Sri Lanka, Mr. Irakli Khodeli, Programme Specialist for Social and Human Sciences at UNESCO Regional Bureau for Sciences, and Mr. George Cooke of BCIS. The lectures and discussions touched upon the role of mother tongue education in fostering sustainable development. It was noted that it is through the mastery of the first language or mother tongue that the basic skills of reading, writing and numeracy are acquired – building a firm foundation for subsequent learning. The inter-generational transmission of cultures, values and traditional knowledge would be impossible without local languages, especially minority and indigenous languages. Therefore, sustainable future depends on our efforts to safeguard and promote the use of mother languages.

Majtenyi unveils his 2009 collection in London
on Monday,February 16,2009 22:02
With just days left before the London Fashion Week opens, an award-winning designer presented his Fall/Winter 2009 collection at the Pure London fashion show.
Andrew Majtenyi''s 60-piece collection marks a return to his signature tailored look, and the trench coat has served as his main inspiration as a timeless classic.
"The trench coat has such a rich and lurid history," says the designer. "It can be overtly sexy, sinister, or just plain perverse."
The collection, which includes subtle military references, features cool geometric designs softened by cashmere blend knits. And while black accents give a sense of darkness to the collection, that impression is moderated by pumpkin and thistle green elements which add warmth to the ensemble.
Andrew Majtenyi won several prestigious fashion awards including the Design Exchange Award for Fashion Design 2005, 2006, and 2007, and he was choice recipient for the City of Toronto FILC "Most Promising Young Designer."
He studied fashion design, color theory, and image management at Niagara, Sheridan and George Brown colleges as well as London Central School of Fashion.
Majtenyi''s next presentation will take place during London Fashion Week, scheduled to open on February 20, during a catwalk show at the Canada High Commission Ballroom.

I obsessed over my legacy,
before I even started working.
I wanted to write my obituary,
before I even started living.
I wanted to be known,
before I even knew myself.
I needed to matter,
before I even knew what mattered.
I needed to build a brand,
before I built a person.
It's funny when you wonder so much about who you're gonna be, you simply become somebody who "was really gonna be somebody one day."
A legacy is not planned, built, or manufactured.
A legacy is made up of thousands of little things you did to impact just one person or issue.
Give your focus to one starfish at a time, and you won't worry about your legacy so much.

I found this hotel because of a groupon, and it was in the area where my friend was getting married. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by a staff that was more than helpful. The front desk staff checked us in quickly, and walked us to our room. Within the first 5 minutes we saw monkeys jumping from tree to tree and we knew that we were going to be happy here!
The pool area was small, but uncrowded. Most of the time there were just the 2 of us here. Breakfast was included, and although simple, it hit the spot. And they even had a pool side happy hour.
The views were unmatched, and the beds were comfortable. Not super deluxe, but very comfortable.
I would stay here again without hesitation.

The tallest gager I think is 7'2 ft (age 20) and the shortest is 3'3 ft (age 17).
This isn't accurate because I don't know the height of every gager but this is only based on what I've seen.00|00|0
who's 7'2"?
- Show AllShow Less
@Klaatu51 I know, crazy right? XD But at least it's more believable than 7'2 ft :P
Again if that's not his real height, then hippie22 being 6'5 ft is the tallest :)
she's very tall for a gal though... but i believe her, seems like she's not a troll or anything
