DVD Review: Mystery Science Theater 3000 XXII
By BAADASSSSS! | Thursday, January 24th, 2013 at 2:00 pm
Volume XXII
Directed by Jim Mallon
Starring Joel Hodgson, Mike Nelson, Trace Beaulieu, Kevin Murphy
In the not-too-distant future, next Sunday A.D., there was a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000, that looks like it was made for me. Sure you can't put those words to music as well as lyrics written by talented songwriters, but that doesn't make them any less true. Yes my friends, MST3K just may be one of the funniest shows in the history of American television.
I have reviewed some of the amazing box sets released by Shout! Factory in the past, so I will spare you my passionate sermon on the greatness that people such as Joel Hodgson, Mike Nelson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Jim Mallon, J. Elvis Weinstein, Mary Jo Pehl, and Kevin Murphy, to name but a few, helped to give us outcasts and social shut-ins something to look forward every week during the dark decade that was the 1990s.
As the protocol has dictated with these box sets since they were originally being distributed by Rhino Video, Mystery Science Theater 3000 XXII consists of four films – two hosted by Hodgson, two by Nelson. Following up the epic five-episode Gamera set released over a year ago, this volume includes two films brought to America by the infamous gentleman who gifted this humble young nation of ours with the cinematic adventures of Japan's favorite rocket-powered giant turtle monster, in addition to a pair of Z-grade exploitation gems beloved in the pantheon of psychotronic film due to who their creators and stars were.
Episode 306 – Time of the Apes
If you're a devoted MST3K fan then the name Sandy Frank will immediately make you giggle. The crew of the Satellite of Love have made jolly good sport out of mocking movies Frank packaged and distributed in the U.S. including the five Gamera flicks that Shout! finally released to DVD back in the summer of 2011. The third season of MST3K was heavy with Frank product and the first of the non-Gamera features was a intriguing oddity called Time of the Apes. Frank basically took an entire season's worth of episodes of a Japanese television series that ripped off the Planet of the Apes movies and had it condensed into one nonsensical, boring, asinine feature that rushes through its idiotic (even for a Japanese genre movie) plot with little regard for establishing its characters beyond single lines of expository dialogue. Once they travel forward to a future where talking apes played by horrid actors in cheap ape masks wearing business and military attire rule the roost the plot slows to a dead crawl as our lame heroes spend the rest of the movie running and hiding, rinsing and repeating. A Sandy Frank international endeavor always makes for some good riffing from Joel and the Bots and they get in some tasty shots at Time of the Apes. The host segments are pretty good too with a T-ball almost causing the death of everyone on the S.O.L. and an "Ape Fashion Minute" with Crow.
Episode 314 – Mighty Jack
Some more heavily-edited, re-released Japanese sci-fi action dreck brought to us courtesy of the inimitable Sandy Frank. Much like Time of the Apes, Mighty Jack was a compilation movie made from the best bits (so to speak) of an entire season of a TV series revolving around a team of international crimefighters called Mighty Jack and their amazing submarine, also called Mighty Jack. It's a mess of confusing action, piss poor English dubbing, and lots of bland Japanese actors running around frenetically hoping to run into a worthwhile set piece or line of dialogue. The riffing is hilarious though and the host segments are even better. In the invention exchange we get a formal flipper and ear muffs shaped like actual ears. The Bots create a commercial for Mighty Jack dog food, which I'd imagine is more tasty than another viewing of the movie, Joel forced into the "blinding light compartment," and a performance of the classic ditty "Slow the Plot Down."
Episode 610 – The Violent Years
Few directors' films are as at home being held up for humorous scrutiny on MST3K as those made by the legendary Ed Wood. Unfortunately The Violent Years was not one of his better screen ventures. A sour, dull tale of a spoiled rich girl indulging in many shameless acts of what was considered delinquency back in the 1950s, Wood's attempt at making a tawdry youth exploitation drama falls completely apart from the outset and not even some better than average riffing from Mike and the Bots can make this anything but a passably entertaining episode. The host segments make up for it a great deal, with the Mads debuting their insanely catchy theme song "Living in Deep 13" and a radio station named after Frank called…Frank. Meanwhile we get to see Servo reenact an emotional scene from A Star is Born and Crow directs a one-man show about Keanu Reeves starring Mike. Turn your crank to Frank!
Episode 702 – The Brute Man
Produced at Universal Pictures as a major theatrical release before the studio got cold feet and pawned it off on a distribution company that specialized in peddling fifth-rate schlock to the masses for cut-rate prices, The Brute Man had the distinction of being a rare starring vehicle for Rondo Hatton, an actor and former sports reporter who suffered from a pituitary gland disorder known as acromegaly. Hatton plays a horribly-disfigured man seeking revenge against those he blames for his condition (attributed to an chemical accident) and enjoying a side love story with a blind woman – I wonder if this is what inspired the romance between Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters in the Fantastic Four comic?
As usual every episode is presented in its original 1.33:1 full frame format as it was when it first broadcast. The picture quality has suffered a bit from the inevitable aging process, as a television program produced on a small budget in Wisconsin would, but otherwise the shows look highly watchable.
English 2.0 mono tracks are provided for all four episodes, as it always has been with Shout. No complaints here. The sound quality is even farther away from being reference material as the Earth is distanced from the moon but I have no such absurd expectations when it comes to MST3K. I can hear everything that's being said or played. Good enough for me.
Another bevy of bonuses provided to us by the good and dutiful folks at Shout! Factory kicks off on disc 1 with an introduction by Japanese monster movie expert August Ragone (5 minutes), where he provides some interesting back story and context to the Time of the Apes movie. You might be interested to discover that the show that was compressed into the single feature was birthed into existence thanks to the smashing success of the first Japanese broadcast of the original Planet of the Apes, which reached 75% of households in the country back then.
Mike Nelson returns as Jack Perkins for more of his crazy, grandfatherly musings on five minutes of MST Hour wraps.
Disc 2 has another introduction by Ragone (7 minutes) for Mighty Jack and a featurette about the creation of the animated MST3K DVD menus (7 minutes) featuring interviews with the artists and designers responsible for them. We're treated to a brief look at the work that goes into each menu and how they have evolved since their inception on the Rhino box sets.
Disc 3 features vintage interviews with Ed Wood collaborators/ex-wives Dolores Fuller (24 minutes) and Kathy Wood (18 minutes), giving us a candid insight into the notorious director's filmmaking style and their thoughts on the cult following that has emerged around his Z-grade filmography.
Disc 4 contains an introduction by staff writer Mary Jo Pehl (4 minutes), who also played Pearl Forrester on the later seasons, a making-of documentary about Mystery Science Theater 3000 that first aired on the Sci-Fi Channel back in 1997 (23 minutes), and a new documentary entitled "Trail of the Creeper: Making The Brute Man" (30 minutes), which is the best extra on the entire set. The first half of "Trail" focuses on the life and early career of Rondo Hatton and how his exposure to mustard gas while fighting in World War I resulted in the facial disfigurement that became his screen trademark (and led to his first wife dumping him), with the second half devoted to the making of The Brute Man and how it originated at Universal Pictures before being sold off to a Poverty Row exploitation outfit.
A little light will go out in the world the day Shout! Factory runs out of episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 to release on DVD. The company continues to do a never-less-than-fantastic job with these frequent box set releases. Kudos to Shout for sorting out the Sandy Frank situation and allowing some of the show's best episodes from season three to finally see the digital light.

Opening of Nets at the Sturt Baseball Club, Norman Reserve
Opening of Nets at the…
It's a pleasure to be here today as a guest of the Sturt Baseball Club and on behalf of the State Government to recognise the official opening of the new safety netting at Norman Reserve.
The Sturt Baseball Club was one of the earliest clubs to be established in South Australia in 1908. Its first home was the South Parklands and the original clubhouse was a modest 8 metre square galvanised iron shed.
In 1961 the Club moved to its present home here at Norman Reserve. Since I was elected as the local Member for Waite, I've been aware of the Club's ongoing challenges – and so it is pleasing to note that this new netting secures the club's future here for the next four years.
The new lease was conditional upon the installation of netting to prevent fly-balls leaving the ground. To achieve this, the club received $75,000 through the Office for Recreation and Sport Community Recreation and Sports Facility Program and the remaining amount from the Federal Government.
This is a great result for the club, which has a wonderful 40-year history, supporting generations of local baseball players to experience the joy of competing in a team sport and forging lifelong friendships.
Since it was established the club has produced many baseball champions, some of whom have represented South Australia, winning the Capps Medals for the Best and Fairest. Others have represented Australia – in the case of Mark Hutton, who became the first Australian to be signed to a professional contract with the famous New York Yankees. In 1992 he became the first Australian pitcher to start in a Major League game. He has since been followed to the United States by many other Sturt players.
Even more importantly, the club has provided children an opportunity to play baseball, develop their skills and values, and learn from positive role models.
Sport brings enormous social and physical benefits to everyone involved – and it is clear the Sturt Baseball Club has contributed significantly to the social fabric of the Mitcham community.
South Australian baseball is experiencing significant growth and has a bright future – The State Government is supporting this development by providing $4 million towards the construction of the Diamond Sports State Facility at Adelaide Shores.
Due for completion in August next year, this facility will be used by both the softball and baseball communities. The development will ensure state and national players can play at a high quality facility in their home state on the best surfaces available. It will attract new sporting events and tourism to Adelaide, while enhancing the long term viability of both sports. It is also expected to attract premier sporting academies and training camps, which will in turn provide clear pathways for our local players.
But for any sport to prosper in the long term, it relies on the success of grass-roots clubs. A key contributor to this is local government support – through recreation and sport facilities planning, development, funding, negotiations and community support. I would like to recognise the tireless work of the Mitcham Council to help deliver a great result here at Norman Reserve.
I am delighted the Sturt Baseball Club, Mitcham Council, the State and Federal Governments have been able to work together to reach a solution for the Mitcham community, which secures the future of this great club for its players, administrators, volunteers and families.
Congratulations to all of you for ensuring this project was realised – and I wish the Sturt Baseball Club ongoing success.

Ubuntu is one of the most widely used operating systems, besides Windows and Macintosh. Linux has many distributions that can be downloaded on its website and Ubuntu is one of the most popular distributions. Released in 2004, Linux is based on Debian and open source. This distribution consists of desktops, servers, and Linux operating systems.
This Linux distribution is a favorite of many people because it is easy to use and easy to install. Ubuntu uses a desktop environment in the form of Unity. Besides Unity, you can also use other desktop environments such as XFCE, MATE, KDE and LXDE. It also provides various versions that are used for special purposes such as Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu MATE, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Kubuntu.
Ubuntu development is managed by a company called Canonical from South Africa. Starting from financing management for software development and distribution to the web for personal use as well as sales to companies commercially in need.
There is also an LTS version for some versions of Ubuntu that you can use.
LTS stands for "Long Term Support".
Canonical produces new versions of Ubuntu every six months. Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get a free security update for at least 9 months on the desktop and server.
The new LTS version is released every two years. In the previous release, the Long Term Support (LTS) version had three years of support on Ubuntu (Desktop) and five years on Ubuntu Servers. Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, both versions receive five years of support. The LTS version is still a free Ubuntu; Canonical makes their best work available to everyone on the same free terms. For business upgrades and downloads, it will always be free according to Canonical.
LTS may not apply to all Ubuntu flavors and remixes. For example, for 8.04 LTS, Kubuntu chose to move to KDE 4.0 and did not issue an LTS release. At 10.04, Netbook Edition is not LTS.


ISLAMABAD: As a major sign of increasing economic cooperation, Pakistan and Russian on Wednesday signed inter corporate agreement for the laying more than 1500 km off-shore gas pipeline costing $10 billion that would be transporting natural gas from Russian gas company Gazprom's sources in the Middle East to Pakistan with a possibility of extending it further to South Asian countries.
Mobin Saulat, Managing Director of Inter-State Gas Systems (ISGS), a state-owned company with a mandate to build gas pipelines and gas import projects, and Vitaly A Markelov of Russian Gazprom Gas Company signed this Inter Corporate Agreement (between companies) here.
Initially, the feasibility study of this $10 billion offshore gas pipeline project would be carried out by Gazprom on its own expenses. The pipeline would follow an integrated approach including other ancillary projects such as Under Ground Gas storage, desalination and other power projects.
Russia holds huge gas deposits in Bahrain, Qatar and other middle-eastern countries and had offered Pakistan and India gas exports by laying the offshore pipeline that would be passing through Gwadar.
A Russian delegation headed by Vitaly A. Markelov, Deputy Chairman of the Management committee, PJSC, 'Gazprom' International visited Petroleum Division and held meeting with Petroleum Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan and other government officials.
According to a statement, federal Petroleum Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan appreciated the expanding trajectory of bilateral relations between Russia and Pakistan. Khan welcomed Gazprom's interest in Off-Shore Gas Pipeline project and termed it a manifestation of multifaceted cooperation between both countries.
Pakistan's energy demand is multiplying under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and industrialisation drive. It would meet its demands to a large extent through this project. Besides, it would place Pakistan on the world map as transit country for offshore gas pipelines.
It is worth mentioning that this project has been planned by the Russian government to capture Pakistani market. Pakistan has been experiencing gas crisis, particularly in winter, for the past many years as domestic production has declined with new additions being offset by depleting old deposits. In a bid to tackle the crisis, the PML-N government started liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from Qatar under a 15-year agreement and brought supplies from other sources as well.
The ISGS is also working on Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (Tapi) gas pipeline. It has also been designated by Pakistan for executing the pipeline project along with Russia's energy giant Gazprom.
The under construction CPEC is making the region more important for the foreign investors. Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are being constructed under the CPEC to boost industrialisation in the country.
Separately, ISGS is working on the $10 billion Tapi gas pipeline which will connect South and Central Asia. Construction work on the scheme in Pakistan is planned to start in March 2019. These projects are termed game changer for Pakistan.
Russia has been a huge gas exporter to European Union (EU) countries and Turkey for long and despite US anger, Moscow has continued to provide gas to them. Moscow receives gas from Turkmenistan and then exports it to EU states.


Whilst the partnership between Louis Roederer and French designer Philippe Starck had started off as a design-led venture, it soon became apparent that Starck was unable to design the bottle without understanding what was inside it. This led to a veritable joint project between Starck and the MD of Louis Roederer, Frédéric Rouzaud, in a quest for authenticity, elegance and reinvention. This coincided with a dramatic change in the Champagne climate in 2006, creating an exceptional harvest to work with, and producing a rare depth of flavour and texture. The resulting Brut Nature 2006 allowed these grapes to take centre stage, with no added sugar – a vision Starck had been adamant to achieve from the outset. The precious contents of this cuvée inspired Starck to create a stripped-back label, which would be unobtrusive to its elegance, simply telling the story of the Champagne as if it were a note to the cellars.
Elsewhere, we're drawn to the surprising collaboration between the niche British luxury watchmaker, Bremont, and Martin-Baker, a little-known British manufacturer of fighter plane ejector seats. Together they have created the Bremont MB watch, designed to endure the rigours and challenges faced by pilots and subjected to the same intense testing programme as an ejection seat. As such, this exclusive watch remains solely for pilots who have been ejected from a Martin-Baker seat. For those of us who will never get to see the inside of a fighter plane, there are two further editions available, the MBII and MBIII, which prove to be the only timepieces available that have truly been tested beyond endurance.
Globally successful cutting-edge artist Tracey Emin has joined forces with long-time friend and jewellery designer, Stephen Webster. Emin famously produced neon signs for Webster's Beverly Hills flagship store in 2010, and it's evident that this unique collection has drawn from these designs. The duo's latest collaboration, 'I Promise To Love You', bears Emin's distinctively emotive declarations, such as "love", "more passion" and "with you I breathe", forged in plain gold. There is also a series of charms inspired by her sketches of woodland creatures.


The Church of Hananiya, in one of the alleys near Bab Sharqi in Damascus Old City, is one of the most ancient churches in the world, and it is famous for its Damascene architectural style and spirit.
Today, the church is decorated with the most beautiful adornments in preparation for receiving its visitors on the Christmas and the New Year.
One can enter the Church which was built underground through a stone-made ladder, and upon entering it one can see the sculpture of Saint Hananiya while he is baptizing St. Paul the Apostle.
Inside the church, one can see an unroofed square which the Damascene houses are famous for.
The Church dates back to about 2000 years as it was built in the place of an ancient pagan chapel and it became the house of Saint Hananiya, Father Elias told SANA.
He added that the Church is known as Crucifixion Church as its basic shape is like the cross which has some of its parts hidden underground.
An old tunnel which has many branches extends from the church to other areas, one of them reaches the Umayyad Mosque and another branch leads to Bab Kisan.
The Church was rehabilitated from about ten years and it contains three wooden underground doors on which one can see magnificent Damascene ornamentations.
Above the main door of the church, there is an ancient stone-made signboard on which it was written Saint Hananiya Church.
Despite of the passage of time, Hananiya Church maintained its originality to remain a masterpiece with its Damascene spirit which is represented in its wooden and stone-made ornamentations and its architectural style.

Utopia Talk / Politics / Is the USA the enemy?
It seems like it is the US who is the biggest enemy to Europe. In fact, not only to Europe, but to Russia, China and everyone else too if you think about it.
EU plans subsidy war chest as industry faces 'existential' threat from US
The EU is in emergency mode and is readying a big subsidy push to prevent European industry from being wiped out by American rivals, two senior EU officials told POLITICO.
Europe is facing a double hammer blow from the U.S. If it weren't enough that energy prices look set to remain permanently far higher than those in the U.S. thanks to Russia's war in Ukraine, U.S. President Joe Biden is also currently rolling out a $369 billion industrial subsidy scheme to support green industries under the Inflation Reduction Act.
EU officials fear that businesses will now face almost irresistible pressure to shift new investments to the U.S. rather than Europe. EU industry chief Thierry Breton is warning that Biden's new subsidy package poses an "existential challenge" to Europe's economy.
The European Commission and countries including France and Germany have realized they need to act quickly if they want to prevent the Continent from turning into an industrial wasteland. According to the two senior officials, the EU is now working on an emergency scheme to funnel money into key high-tech industries.
The tentative solution now being prepared in Brussels is to counter the U.S. subsidies with an EU fund of its own, the two senior officials said. This would be a "European Sovereignty Fund," which was already mentioned in the State of the Union address by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in September, to help businesses invest in Europe and meet ambitious green standards.
Senior officials said the EU had to act extremely quickly as companies are already making decisions on where to build their future factories for everything from batteries and electric cars to wind turbines and microchips.
Another reason for Brussels to respond rapidly is to avoid individual EU countries going it alone in splashing out emergency cash, the officials warned. The chaotic response to the gas price crisis, where EU countries reacted with all sorts of national support measures that threatened to undermine the single market, is still a sore point in Brussels.
European Commissioner Breton especially has led the pack in sounding alarm bells. At a meeting with EU industry leaders Monday, Breton issued his warning on the "existential challenge" to Europe from the Inflation Reduction Act, according to people in the room. Breton said it was now a matter of utmost urgency to "revert the deindustrialization process taking place."
Breton was echoing calls from business leaders all over Europe warning about a perfect storm brewing for manufacturers. "It's a bit like drowning. It's happening quietly," BusinessEurope President Fredrik Persson said.
The Inflation Reduction Act is a particular bugbear to EU carmaking nations — such as France and Germany — as it encourages consumers to "Buy American" when it comes to electric vehicles. Brussels and EU capitals see this as undermining global free trade, and Brussels wants to cut a deal in which its companies can enjoy the same American benefits.
With a diplomatic solution seeming unlikely and Brussels wanting to avoid an all-out trade war, a subsidy race now looks increasingly likely as a contentious Plan B.
To do that, it will be vital to secure support from Germany and from the more economically liberal commissioners such as trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis and competition chief Margrethe Vestager.
At a meeting of EU trade ministers on Friday, Brussels hopes to get more clarity from Berlin on whether they are willing to break their subsidy taboo.
France has long been calling for a counterstrike against Washington by funneling state funds into European industry to help industrial champions on the Continent. That idea is now also gaining traction in Berlin, which has traditionally been economically more liberal.
On Tuesday, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck and his French counterpart Bruno Le Maire issued a joint statement to call for an "EU industrial policy that enables our companies to thrive in the global competition especially through technological leadership," adding that "we want to coordinate closely a European approach to challenges such as the United States Inflation Reduction Act."
Apart from the trade ministers' meeting on Friday, the idea will also informally be discussed among competition ministers next week. One official said European leaders will also discuss it on the margins of the Western Balkan summit on December 6 and at the European Council mid-December.

Europe accuses US of profiting from war
EU officials attack Joe Biden over sky-high gas prices, weapons sales and trade as Vladimir Putin's war threatens to destroy Western unity.
Nine months after invading Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is beginning to fracture the West.
Top European officials are furious with Joe Biden's administration and now accuse the Americans of making a fortune from the war, while EU countries suffer.
"The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons," one senior official told POLITICO.
The explosive comments — backed in public and private by officials, diplomats and ministers elsewhere — follow mounting anger in Europe over American subsidies that threaten to wreck European industry. The Kremlin is likely to welcome the poisoning of the atmosphere among Western allies.
"We are really at a historic juncture," the senior EU official said, arguing that the double hit of trade disruption from U.S. subsidies and high energy prices risks turning public opinion against both the war effort and the transatlantic alliance. "America needs to realize that public opinion is shifting in many EU countries."
The EU's chief diplomat Josep Borrell called on Washington to respond to European concerns. "Americans — our friends — take decisions which have an economic impact on us," he said in an interview with POLITICO.
The biggest point of tension in recent weeks has been Biden's green subsidies and taxes that Brussels says unfairly tilt trade away from the EU and threaten to destroy European industries. Despite formal objections from Europe, Washington has so far shown no sign of backing down.
At the same time, the disruption caused by Putin's invasion of Ukraine is tipping European economies into recession, with inflation rocketing and a devastating squeeze on energy supplies threatening blackouts and rationing this winter.
As they attempt to reduce their reliance on Russian energy, EU countries are turning to gas from the U.S. instead — but the price Europeans pay is almost four times as high as the same fuel costs in America. Then there's the likely surge in orders for American-made military kit as European armies run short after sending weapons to Ukraine.
It's all got too much for top officials in Brussels and other EU capitals. French President Emmanuel Macron said high U.S. gas prices were not "friendly" and Germany's economy minister has called on Washington to show more "solidarity" and help reduce energy costs.
Ministers and diplomats based elsewhere in the bloc voiced frustration at the way Biden's government simply ignores the impact of its domestic economic policies on European allies.
When EU leaders tackled Biden over high U.S. gas prices at the G20 meeting in Bali last week, the American president simply seemed unaware of the issue, according to the senior official quoted above. Other EU officials and diplomats agreed that American ignorance about the consequences for Europe was a major problem.
"The Europeans are discernibly frustrated about the lack of prior information and consultation," said David Kleimann of the Bruegel think tank.
Officials on both sides of the Atlantic recognize the risks that the increasingly toxic atmosphere will have for the Western alliance. The bickering is exactly what Putin would wish for, EU and U.S. diplomats agreed.
The growing dispute over Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — a huge tax, climate and health care package — has put fears over a transatlantic trade war high on the political agenda again. EU trade ministers are due to discuss their response on Friday as officials in Brussels draw up plans for an emergency war chest of subsidies to save European industries from collapse.
SPONSORED BY EPP GROUP
"The Inflation Reduction Act is very worrying," said Dutch Trade Minister Liesje Schreinemacher. "The potential impact on the European economy is very big."
"The U.S. is following a domestic agenda, which is regrettably protectionist and discriminates against U.S. allies," said Tonino Picula, the European Parliament's lead person on the transatlantic relationship.
An American official stressed the price setting for European buyers of gas reflects private market decisions and is not the result of any U.S. government policy or action. "U.S. companies have been transparent and reliable suppliers of natural gas to Europe," the official said. Exporting capacity has also been limited by an accident in June that forced a key facility to shut down.
In most cases, the official added, the difference between the export and import prices doesn't go to U.S. LNG exporters, but to companies reselling the gas within the EU. The largest European holder of long-term U.S. gas contracts is France's TotalEnergies for example.
It's not a new argument from the American side but it doesn't seem to be convincing the Europeans. "The United States sells us its gas with a multiplier effect of four when it crosses the Atlantic," European Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton said on French TV on Wednesday. "Of course the Americans are our allies ... but when something goes wrong it is necessary also between allies to say it."
Cheaper energy has quickly become a huge competitive advantage for American companies, too. Businesses are planning new investments in the U.S. or even relocating their existing businesses away from Europe to American factories. Just this week, chemical multinational Solvay announced it is choosing the U.S. over Europe for new investments, in the latest of a series of similar announcements from key EU industrial giants.
Allies or not?
Despite the energy disagreements, it wasn't until Washington announced a $369 billion industrial subsidy scheme to support green industries under the Inflation Reduction Act that Brussels went into full-blown panic mode.
"The Inflation Reduction Act has changed everything," one EU diplomat said. "Is Washington still our ally or not?"
For Biden, the legislation is a historic climate achievement. "This is not a zero-sum game," the U.S. official said. "The IRA will grow the pie for clean energy investments, not split it."
But the EU sees that differently. An official from France's foreign affairs ministry said the diagnosis is clear: These are "discriminatory subsidies that will distort competition." French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire this week even accused the U.S. of going down China's path of economic isolationism, urging Brussels to replicate such an approach. "Europe must not be the last of the Mohicans," he said.
The EU is preparing its responses, such as a big subsidy push to prevent European industry from being wiped out by American rivals. "We are experiencing a creeping crisis of trust on trade issues in this relationship," said German MEP Reinhard Bütikofer.
"At some point, you have to assert yourself," said French MEP Marie-Pierre Vedrenne. "We are in a world of power struggles. When you arm-wrestle, if you are not muscular, if you are not prepared both physically and mentally, you lose."
Behind the scenes, there is also growing irritation about the money flowing into the American defense sector.
The U.S. has by far been the largest provider of military aid to Ukraine, supplying more than $15.2 billion in weapons and equipment since the start of the war. The EU has so far provided about €8 billion of military equipment to Ukraine, according to Borrell.
According to one senior official from a European capital, restocking of some sophisticated weapons may take "years" because of problems in the supply chain and the production of chips. This has fueled fears that the U.S. defense industry can profit even more from the war.
The Pentagon is already developing a roadmap to speed up arms sales, as the pressure from allies to respond to greater demands for weapons and equipment grows.
Another EU diplomat argued that "the money they are making on weapons" could help Americans understand that making "all this cash on gas" might be "a bit too much."
The diplomat argued that a discount on gas prices could help us to "keep united our public opinions" and to negotiate with third countries on gas supplies. "It's not good, in terms of optics, to give the impression that your best ally is actually making huge profits out of your troubles," the diplomat said.

"Vladimir Putin's war threatens to destroy Western unity."
Lol. First off, the war was provoked by the US. The US drove a wedge through Europe, between Germany etc and Russia. And now the US actions are continuing to destroy peace and prosperity (and Western unity, if you will) by attacking European industries.
Dont worry about it. Go watch soccer.
I'm watching England-USA is I type this. I hope both teams lose.
*as
Im rooting for england.
Well 0-0 so Para got his wish
Should've never sanctioned Russian gas and oil. It' has accomplished nothing but driving energy prices higher and screwing themselves.
Murder, Not to mention giving Russia record profits for selling it slightly* less costly to Asia and the ME who in turn sells it to the west at a marked up price.
The sanctions on chips and technology did seem to have a benefit though.
Soccer was invented by European wives to keep busy while their husbands made dinner and cleaned the house.

Q: Execute code when animation finished jQuery $(this).animate({"left": left+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 })
.animate({"top": top+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 })
.animate({"height": size+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 })
.animate({"width": size+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 });

I´m a beginner at jQuery. I want the following code to run when the animation has finished:
$('#map').css('cursor','pointer');

How can I do that? And also, if my code is bad, I would be very thankful if you improved it.
Thanks!

A: You could animate them all at once and use the "complete" callback:
$(this).animate({
    left:   left + 'px',
    top:    top  + 'px',
    height: size + 'px',
    width:  size + 'px'
}, {
    queue:    false,
    duration: 500,
    complete: function() {
        $('#map').css('cursor','pointer');
    }
});

A: Try this:
$(this).animate(
    { // map of the properties to animate
        'left': left + 'px',
        'top': top + 'px',
        'height': size + 'px',
        'width': size + 'px'
    },
    500, // animation duration
    function() { // function to execute when animation is completed
        $('#map').css('cursor','pointer');
    }
);

A:     $(this).animate({"left": left+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 })
    .animate({"top": top+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 })
    .animate({"height": size+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500 })
    .animate({"width": size+"px"}, { queue: false, duration: 500,
      complete : function() {
         $('#map').css('cursor','pointer');
          }
    });

It should be that way if I understood correctly.

A: $(this).animate({
  "left": left+"px",
  "top": top+"px",
  "height": size+"px",
  "width": size+"px"
},{
  queue: false,
  duration: 500,
  complete: function(){
    $('#map').css('cursor','pointer');
  }
});

20 Marvel Heroes We Still Need to See on the Big and Small Screens
by Gregory Ellwood August 3, 2016
Even with over 60 live action films and TV series based on Marvel characters available for public consumption it's hard to believe how many heroes still haven't gotten their chance in the spotlight. Some of the most popular Marvel heroes still haven't appeared on the big or small screen outside of animated form. The reasons for this are wide and varied.
The still tangled web of different property rights is a major reason. Many of your favorite mutants are controlled by 20th Century Fox who is finally just beginning to explore the X-Men universe. Other characters are caught in a weird limbo of rights between Sony Pictures, who still controls the Spider-Man franchise, Fox and Marvel Studios. For instance, both Fox and Marvel had the right to use Quicksilver who turned up in two different movie incarnations within weeks of each other. It sort of worked and it sort of didn't.
Also, unlike DC that is more than OK with duplicating characters on the big and small screen, Marvel is creating one gigantic interconnecting universe. That means shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil can't create their own versions of known Avengers characters without fans assuming that's the definitive Black Knight or Moon Knight (more on them later) for all of Marvel. And, frankly, there may just be too many popular Avengers members and international heroes for Marvel to deal with when you have that particular strategy.
Keeping that in mind, here are 20 Marvel heroes most fans are still hoping to eventually see kicking ass in some form or another (assuming the powers at be can find the time to give them a home).

Scuba Diving in Bali is a combination of slow and strong currents; caves, steep walls, wrecks; and high biodiversity. Bali is a dive destination for both beginners and experts to enjoy. This Indonesian island is known for its people's distinct Hindu heritage, elaborately ornamented and perfectly choreographed spiritual dance ceremonies.
You might find you love Bali so much because there are radically different worlds to explore each day. It certainly is a great dive destination and one that you will want to return to time and time again. Along with the famous Balinese dive sites, a spectacular assortment of resorts and exotic activities is what makes Bali more than a little like heaven in the Pacific.
When is the best time of year to Scuba dive in Bali?
The Balinese climate is comfortable all year round, but The best Bali scuba diving season runs from May to September. This is when the water temperature nearly matches the outside temperature and almost always hovers between 27 and 29 degrees Centigrade. And the visibility tends to be the best. When you travel to Bali in this time, you can make the most of your dives.
Divers who wish to avoid crowds might consider diving in the low season of October through April or choose to hang around more advanced scuba dive sites surrounding Bali.
Dive schedules in Bali vary because strong currents sometimes sweep the coasts of the islands, and dive operators in Bali plan around the activity of these currents. Some of the waters that make up the island currents are cold, so temperatures at some dive sites (only in the stronger current areas) can hit a pretty chilly 15 degrees centigrade.
The US Liberty World War II Wreck – This 120m-long ship found its resting place among diving fame and black volcanic sands near northeastern Bali, and it makes for great night dives. Read more about the The US Liberty on our blog.
Gili Tepekong – An experienced-diver-only attraction, this is a steep-sided small island featuring a super-deep canyon dive with strong currents and visible volcanic rock boulders.
Menjangan Island – A favorite for novice divers. This location is more a collection of dive sites, but it offers nearly everything – an eel garden, a 19th-century shipwreck, and even a cave!
Nusa Penida – An island to the southeast of Bali, this dive site is unique because it is well-known for providing sightings of the huge Ocean Sunfish. Read more about the Nusa Penida on our blog.
Nusa Dua – While this area is thought to have relatively low visibility and high boat traffic, this is the perfect spot for beginners, since the water is extraordinarily calm and so many diving agencies are nearby.
How to travel to Bali?
Ngurah Rai International Airport is your only gateway into Bali unless you decide to book a private flight. But you are in luck because Ngurah Rai connects Bali to major cities like Amsterdam, Los Angeles, London, Osaka, and Rome by most of the major airlines. This list is certainly not comprehensive.
Airlines to Bali never list "Bali" as one of their destinations. Instead, you will have to touchdown in Denpasar, Bali's provincial capital, so search for this city name when booking your flight. Ngurah Rai offers plenty of ways for you to make it off the tarmac and into the various cities, towns, coasts, and most importantly, dive sites of Bali.
Day trips in Bali are especially easy to take because of the island's small size (90km from North to South and 140 from East to West). As a general rule, you can make it from any point on the island to any other point within an hour by taxi. Accommodations in Bali are best found on the Eastern and South-Eastern shores.

Read the latest news and information about aston martin lagonda published on 4WheelsNews.com! View comments and pictures about aston martin lagonda on 4WheelsNews.com!
Aston Martin already revealed the 2015 Lagonda super saloon, its brand new vehicle that will be exclusively sold in the Middle East on an invitation-only basis. Still, we didn't know how the interior of the new vehicle will look like. Today, the British manufacturer unveiled the first photos with the interior and as expected, it is remarkable.
Nothing new here, but the dashboard looks almost identical to the Rapide, while the rest of the interior was designed by Aston Martin's Q division a.k.a. the brand's bespoke customization division.
Regarding the exterior design, this is inspired by the 1976 Lagonda and based on the flexible VH architecture. Under the hood, we expect to find the same 6.0-liter V12 found on the Rapide S, which means the vehicle is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine.
Last month, the 2015 Aston Martin Lagonda super saloon headed to the Middle East for hot weather testing and the finals version was revealed by Omain Air and not the by the British manufacturer. Still, Aston Martin unveiled today the first official photos with the 2015 Lagonda.
The photos show the testing vehicle from every angle and honestly to tell you we are impressed by its design. The 2015 Aston Martin Lagonda super saloon is inspired by the 1976 Lagonda and is based on the flexible VH architecture. Under its long hood, we find the same 6.0-liter V12 that powers the Rapide S, which means that the beating heart is a 6.0-liter V12 engine.
Although we don't know that output delivered on the Lagonda, the V12 engine generates 552 bhp and 630 Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque on the Rapide S. As a result, it pushes the four-door coupe form 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds (0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds), while top speed is in excess of 200 mph or 320 km/h.
Aston Martin officially announced the 2015 Lagonda super saloon last month and told us that it will be offered exclusively in the Middle East due to the market demand. Based on the flexible VH architecture and inspired by the iconic 1976 Lagonda, the new vehicle will be powered by the same 6.0-liter V12 engine used by the Rapide S.
We don't know the output delivered on the Lagonda, but we do know that on the Rapide S, the engine generates 552 bhp and 630 Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque. We also expect the new vehicle to be quick because the Rapide S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds (0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds), while top speed is in excess of 200 mph or 320 km/h.
Aston Martin is expected to use the same Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic gearbox in order to make it more fuel-efficient. In addition, power will be sent to the rear wheels.
Aston Martin plans to make a comeback for the Lagonda nameplate. This historic and traditional nameplate will see a revival in the latest super saloon but in a limited offering. The Lagonda has been proudly known to be the mark when it comes to being the 'finest of fast cars'.
The Lagonda though will only be made available in the super saloon that is marketed to the Middle East market, mainly due to the increasing demand. This particular offering follows many other Aston Martin releases that have continuously been grabbing headlines like the One-77 hypercar and V12 Zagato.
This particular announcement also follows on the heels of the CC100 Speedster Concept which many have said is the ultimate Q manufactured by the brand. Originally part of the company's centenary celebration, the CC100 Speedster Concept had a revival of its own through two customer commissions mainly as a result of the very exceptional demand.
Aston Martin wants to resurrect the Lagonda badge on a sedan, according to media reports in the United Kingdom. The new sedan, however, will not share the styling of the heavily panned Lagonda SUV Concept unveiled at the 2009 Geneva auto show. According to reports, new Lagonda sedan will carry either the proportions or the styling of the 1976-90 Lagonda sedan.
Lagonda was established by Wilbur Gunn 108 years ago. At its peak, Lagonda was considered a serious rival to ultra-luxury brands like Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Bentley founder W. O. Bentley moved to Lagonda in 1931 after the collapse of his own company, and designed Lagonda's LG6 model.
That model was Aston Martin's inspiration for the Lagonda SUV concept unveiled in 2009. In 1947, Lagonda's financial troubles resulted to its acquisition by David Brown, who had earlier taken control of Aston Martin.
Aston Martin is proceeding with its development of an SUV that will compete with the upcoming Bentley EXP 9 F. This model is based loosely on the Lagonda Concept that was seen at the 2009 Geneva motor show but Aston aims to come up with a total shift in its style after the show car received mostly criticisms for it. Similar to the 2009 car, the new SUV will be based on the underpinnings of the Mercedes-Benz G-class.
Aston discloses that a deal has been entered for Mercedes to be the supplier of platforms, drivetrains and engines. It's likely that Aston will offer its 6.0-litre V12 in a flagship model, says Autocar.
The other possibilities include a variety of smaller petrol and diesel models and a hybrid. The styling will be very different from the concept but it's still uncertain whether this new SUV will carry an Aston Martin badge or a Lagona (just like the show car).
It appears that Aston Martin has big plans and wants to bring again to the market the iconic Lagonda brand, which means a new range of new models are expected. As you may know already, back in 2008 at the Geneva Motor Show, Aston Martin brought the Lagonda SUV Concept, a car based on the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.
The Lagonda SUV Concept was abandoned due to the negative feedback received by the British manufacturer.
Still, the upcoming Lagonda models will be four-wheel-drive SUVs and target emerging markets such as Russia and China, says Autocar. Apparently, this decision was taken because there are limits to where you can drive a sports car, although Aston Martin has dealerships in 35 countries.

Well they got the extension, but one good thing came out of it. They had added legal costs to my account when the judge had said costs reserved. I asked the judge if I was going to get more legal costs added as I had already had one lot and he ordered that they be removed and to immediately change their procedure that the legal costs are not automatically added. Which is what they said happens.
I am in dispute with Acenden as to the arrears they claim we owe, they filed for an extension of the repossession order given in 2009 which the amount the court ordered has been paid. We have already been to court & the judge adjourned for Acenden to provide the information I have been asking for and then for me to respond. We received the required info and I responded to the information, which was signed for by their solicitor on the 19th March 2019. Today we have received a letter asking for us to agree & sign an agreement to an adjournment on the the first available date after 28 days. My question is am 1. Being unreasonable to decline, my view is they have had sufficient time to investigate. 2. Would it go against me if I declined.

(Sent in accordance with the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct & Protocol) I have 30 days to respond. I still have not received the CCA just a list of payments made between Dec 2010 & Sept 2012 Any advise would be greatly appreciated as to what I need to do now.
Thanks for your help but I am still having trouble getting a breakdown of their fees the reply I have received from the them is as follows "Whist we note your request for a breakdown of our Collection/Arrears Administration Fees we must advise you that we will be unable to provide these details as it is considered commercially sensitive information. Furthermore we are not obliged to release this information" Does anyone no if they can refuse?
No paid I have paid off my arrears what they are adding are charges. I asked them for a breakdown of the charges which they ignored, so right or wrong I ignored them. I am continuing to pay my contractual amount. I had a suspended possession order from 2009, but paid that back. I asked for a change of date from the 1st to the 25th but they refused. I am not refusing to communicate with them just want them to communicate in writing with me.
Oh well after nearly a year I have received a reconstituted agreement, which I am not convinced about. I am thinking about writing to Lloyds to request the CC. I would be very grateful if anybody has any feed back for me.
I wrote to Lowell asking this question, the reply is: " we are still awaiting a copy of the agreement & the account will remain on hold until this is sent. We have copies of the statements which will be forwarded to you when the agreement is received" In regauard to the default being recorded on your credit file we can advise that upon opening and signing the agreement you agreed to the default being applied. As we have now bought the account we have taken over ownership of the default recorded by Lloyds. They also go on to say they also hold another account in my name & advise that there is no payment plan in place and have stopped collection to allow for me to contact them with my intentions towards the outstanding balance. , they issued a SD in 2013 which I fought & won with costs awarded that account is now well over 6yrs old since the dispute was first raised. Advise would be greatly appreciated.
Default date December 2010. Lloyds originally had it on my credit file but it disappeared about a year ago.

Il palazzo del Vescovado, o palazzo Vescovile, è un edificio che fa parte del complesso architettonico della cattedrale di Verona, sede della diocesi di Verona.

Storia

La prima sede della Chiesa veronese trovò luogo intorno al III secolo al di fuori dalle mura romane cittadine, presso un sepolcreto romano sorto lungo la via Gallica, ove vennero edificate le chiese di San Procolo e di San Zeno. Successivamente la sede venne probabilmente spostata presso la chiesa di Santo Stefano, dove sono sepolti i primi vescovi veronesi, e lì rimase fino all'VIII secolo. La sede episcopale venne quindi trasferita intra moenia dal vescovo Annone, che fu il primo ad essere sepolto presso la cattedrale di Verona. Il primo documento scritto che testimonia la presenza di una costruzione residenziale vescovile, che prese il nome di Domus Sancti Zenonis in onore del santo e patrono veronese Zeno, risale al IX secolo e ricorda come questa fosse stata distrutta da un incendio avvenuto qualche anno prima dell'806.

Alcune lettere del vescovo Raterio fanno presumere che nel 965 il palazzo venne saccheggiato e danneggiato, per cui tra il X e l'XI secolo venne restaurato e rinnovato. L'edificio, tuttavia, venne nuovamente e gravemente danneggiato a causa del catastrofico terremoto di Verona del 1117: il complesso venne così integralmente ricostruito adottando lo stile in voga all'epoca, il romanico. A questa epoca appartiene il torrione ancora esistente, costruito in conci di tufo a vista e inizialmente adoperato come struttura difensiva e carcere. Nella stessa torre, nel 1172, venne realizzata una cappella dedicata a san Zeno su commissione del vescovo Ognibene, come ricorda una lapide situata sulla faccia occidentale del torrione, la cui iscrizione ricorda che la cappella fu realizzata prima che un violento incendio si propagasse in città. Probabilmente la cappella veniva utilizzata dal vescovo come oratorio privato.

Nel corso del XIII secolo il complesso venne ampliato con la costruzione di due nuovi corpi di fabbrica, situati uno a nord e uno a ovest, quest'ultimo sopraelevato già tra la fine dello stesso secolo e l'inizio di quello successivo, intervento reso evidente dall'utilizzo di un paramento murario a corsi alternati di conci di tufo e di mattoni di laterizio, mentre l'aspetto del torrione venne ingentilito con l'apertura, a lato delle strette feritoie, di monofore ad arco a sesto acuto e con la decorazione pittorica degli spazi interni. L'ingresso del palazzo in questo periodo fece da sfondo ad un evento cruento: nel 1338, infatti, il vescovo Bartolomeo della Scala fu ucciso con un colpo di spada dal principe di Verona Mastino II della Scala; dopo tale episodio venne tolta ai veronesi la possibilità di eleggere i propri vescovi.

Notevoli furono i lavori intervenuti nel XV secolo, grazie all'opera dei vescovi Ermolao Barbaro e Giovanni Michiel, che fecero rinnovare le parti esistenti e aggiungere alcuni corpi di fabbrica. In particolare Barbaro sopraelevò e decorò il corpo centrale del palazzo e il torrione romanico, che venne dotato di merlature e tre prigioni, fece costruire le scuderie, la loggia che collegava il palazzo al battistero di San Giovanni in Fonte, la loggia a due piani che si affaccia sull'Adige e avviò quella a ridosso dell'ingresso, infine fece edificare il Salone dei Vescovi, affrescato dal pittore di scuola veronese Domenico Brusasorzi, che raffigurò 101 vescovi veronesi, da sant'Euprepio a Sebastiano Pisani I. Il vescovo Giovanni Michiel fece invece completare la loggia e rinnovare la facciata e il portale d'ingresso al complesso, rimasta invariata fino ad oggi.

Tra la fine del XVI secolo e i primi anni del XIX secolo venne realizzata un ulteriore salone adiacente a quello "dei Vescovi" appena citato, detta Sala dei Vescovi recenti o Sala della Memoria, mentre nel XVII secolo la loggia orientale fu rinnovata nelle forme attuali. Sul finire del XVIII secolo il vescovado venne occupato dalle truppe napoleoniche mentre in quello successivo il complesso venne parzialmente dismesso, subendo così un prolungato periodo di degrado, cui si supplì nel XX secolo grazie ad una serie di interventi di restauro, conclusi solamente nel 2006.

Descrizione

Il palazzo, che si sviluppa sul lato orientale del complesso architettonico della cattedrale di Verona, prospetta con il suo fronte principale, rivolto verso sud, su piazza Vescovado, mentre sul lato opposto confina con il fiume Adige, dove si affacciano gli ambienti di residenza del vescovo. Il palazzo è composto da un aggregato edilizio che occupa un'area grossomodo trapezoidale e che si sviluppa attorno a un ampio cortile centrale: sul lato settentrionale c'è il corpo principale, sede vescovile di origine romanica ma ampliata e rinnovata nel corso dei secoli; sul lato meridionale c'è il corpo di fabbrica con loggia che funge da ingresso al complesso; sul lato orientale si trova la loggia su due livelli di fattezza sanmicheliana; sul lato occidentale si trova infine una piccola struttura porticata che mette in collegamento il corpo settentrionale con il battistero di San Giovanni in Fonte.

Il corpo di fabbrica settentrionale, elemento principale del complesso, è articolato su tre piani fuori terra e caratterizzato dalla presenza del torrione romanico centrale, con paramento in blocchi di tufo a vista. Il prospetto è scandito da numerose apertura, tra cui alcuni arconi romanici e porte-finestra al piano terra, mentre ai livelli superiori si trovano semplici finestre rettangolari (di cui alcune ornate con gli stemmi vescovili) ed elaborate bifore trilobate in stile veneziano; sono inoltre visibili diversi lacerti di decorazioni dipinte. In questo corpo si trova il Salone dei Vescovi, affrescato da Domenico Brusasorzi nel 1566 su commissione del cardinale Agostino Valier: nelle pareti è rappresentata una quinta architettonica dipinta suddivisa in altezza in due livelli. Nel livello inferiore è dipinto un porticato ritmato da pilastri dorici e aperto verso la campagna veronese, mentre al livello superiore è dipinto un loggiato rinascimentale dal quale si affacciano 101 vescovi veronesi, come fosse una genealogia episcopale. Il salone è coperto da una controsoffittatura lignea a cassettoni attribuita al mastro veneziano Jacopo Moranzone. A centro del controsoffitto si trova una specchiatura gotica polilobata, in cui è rappresentata la Madonna con il Bambino, mentre in altre due specchiature sono raffigurati il Salvador mundi e lo stemma del vescovo Ermolao Barbaro.

Il corpo meridionale, o loggiato d'ingresso, presenta nel prospetto rivolto verso il cortile un colonnato costituito da colonne e capitelli recuperati dall'antica cattedrale romanica, mentre il piano superiore è scandito da sette finestre trilobate in stile gotico veneziano, inoltre è presente una decorazione parietale dipinta in cui si ripetono i simboli e i colori cardinalizi del vescovo Giovanni Michiel. Il prospetto verso strada è coronato da una merlatura alla veneziana e caratterizzato dal monumentale portale d'ingresso in marmi bianchi e azzurri, delimitato da doppie colonne corinzie che si appoggiano su un alto basamento e che reggono la trabeazione sulla quale si imposta un timpano semicircolare; al centro della lunetta, inoltre, si trova un bassorilievo raffigurante una Madonna con Bambino in Trono. Il portale è coronato da tre statue, i Santi Pietro e Paolo ai lati, e San Michele in alto, sul cui scudo si trova scolpito lo stemma araldico di Michiel, vescovo e cardinale che commissionò l'opera.

Il corpo orientale è costituito da una doppia loggia rinascimentale, il cui livello inferiore è ritmato da cinque archi con trattamento a bugnato liscio, mentre il livello superiore, con balaustra, è scandito da colonne ioniche su cui si impostano archi a tutto sesto.
