Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. I had two good crack of dawn morning
flights in the Firefly that were great for photography! Here's another shot flying
over the bluff behind Gouldings Lodge, looking down on the Lodge facility
and airstrip. Lots of planes were up flying at that point. The other is looking
up the canyon road toward the campground, where lots of Airstreams and Kolb
campers are parked. The terrain around the area is pretty spectacular.
I'll take a crack at ID'ing the folks in photo 3 but will need some help since
I can't tell who a couple are.... from the left under John W's Kolbra wing are
George (AZ Bald Eagle), Eve Pelletier (AZ Dave's wife), need help and John W,
best I can tell. Under the other wing, facing the camera, is Bill Herren, Luscombe
driver, need help, AZ Dave, Boyd Young (could be wrong) and can't tell
but it might be John H. Others that are in the picture can hopefully fill in
the blanks.

As was surmised, the counters only work if you access the photos from
the forum pages. For an email user, like me, I just click on the JPG
link and see it directly... no way for a counter to know I've done
that. (However, a back-end web statistics package would know.)

Here's the best shot of the strip I have from this year. All that is missing is
a little bit of the other end of the dirt strip with open desert beyond. The
first part is paved and the rest is dirt... goes downhill on takeoff to the
North so landings are landing uphill from the north. Kolbs are generally off
the ground before the pavement ends on takeoff. The runway comes up to greet
you so you just flare and the runway plus sink makes for easy landings... except
for rookies that haven't done it before... many first timers have a rough landing
or two until they get the hang of it. Maybe others have a better photo
to share.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "c b" <seedeebee@hotmail.com>
Kolbers,
I had 10FR at the Watsonville fly-in and airshow last weekend. We were part
of an official act in FAA waivered airspace doing flour bomb drops and spot
landings.
My wife, 8 months pregnant flew along as co-pilot and bombadier. The winds
were gusting in a strong crosswind (of course).
Sadly, we lost the "bomb the outhouse dressed up like usama bin laden"
contest to a helicopter, but we won the spot landing contest by a landslide
(no helicopters for that one).
What was really nice to see was that afterwards there was so much interest
in this little airplane that the announcer had just described as "unusual."
About 5 different Kolb builders followed us back to parking and we stood and
talked for a 1/2 hour or so afterwards.
I'm continually impressed by the great community we Kolbers have.

A few minutes ago while I was out in my back yard, I heard an ultralight out to
the East and spotted it heading toward my house in Oro Valley from the Pusch
Ridge Mountain direction. As it got closer I looked at it with my binoculars
and to my surprise I saw that it was Adriel Heisey circling around and then he
headed NW. It appeared he was following Tangerine Rd out toward Marana. Maybe
he launched his flight from there.
I have not heard about or from Adriel in what seems to be a couple years and found
out from his website late last year that he had moved from Tucson some time
ago, so I assume he trailered his plane here and was doing a photo shoot.
His highly modified Firestar fuselage is a dead give away, as well as the all cream
colored plane with no markings. The 912S sounded sweet, obviously throttled
back a lot for cruising. He told me he burns around 4 gph cruising... he
said he can stay up more than 4 hrs with his fuel capacity. He's an amazing photographer!!
Highly publicized in National Geographic, AZ Highways, etc and
has published 2, maybe 3 books by now.
It was good to see him in the air around Tucson again!!
Has anyone else heard from Adriel in the recent past?? Wish he would join us at
MV sometime! He's pretty busy with his flying photography business so I'm not
holding my breathe on that one... similar to Homer joining us. :)

Thanks for correcting me Jim. You would know since you might have helped Dennis
custom built it for Adriel. I'm not familiar with the old Kolb line but knew
it was a 2 seater, modified quite a bit for his photography equipment. I've
never seen a stock Twinstar, but judging by Adriel's plane, it appears to have
had some similarities to the Mark III.

Since Dave has been having problems posting his photo's, I'm going to help him
by posting the last 4 he tried to post here since he sent them to me. They are
some good people shots from mid day gatherings to the nice picnic dinner Eve
and Dave put on at their motor home Saturday evening. Dave told me yesterday
he counted 41 at the dinner at one point and I know there were several others
that didn't make it so I would guess we had around 50 or so in attendance this
year, making it the biggest turnout yet.
Thanks again to Eve and Dave for the super duper dinner Sat night! A good time
was had by all and a great way to start wrapping up this year's event.

Lar, do you know of a way to shrink them down without cropping? I took my shots
in 3M Normal mode so they take 600 - 700K each. Even that is a big wad for
a dial up modem, so not sure what to do about that, but to tell dial-up folks
to avoid looking at pictures. Dave's shots are higher res so if you know a way
to shrink them so everyone can see them well, let us know. That is one of the
reasons I normally use my photosite website, but then I post lots more pics
there, so in the end this is better for the Kolb list, since I selected only
the best few that I thought others would be interested in seeing.

Jim, I recall from talking to Adriel a few years ago that he had worked with Dennis
on the changes, unless my brain cells are starting to retire with me...
:? Dennis could easily set us all straight if he is monitoring the list now.
I'm pretty sure Adriel didn't just go off and make those mods without consulting
old Kolb, particularly Dennis Souder. Adriel's a darn good photographer
and flier, but he doesn't strike me as being an aircraft designer/engineer type.
Been wrong many times before though so you might be right.

Dumb question of the day...
I'm replacing my axles and I need to drill the bolt hole... How do I drill
the solid axle rod to match the holes in the gear/axle fitting?... I have a
drill press, but I don't have a V-block, is a V-block necessary?...
Thanx...

Well if you have at least a vice on your drill press line up your fitting
with the drill down through the existing hole then place your axle in it clamp
it
tight and drill it out
I hope this will help you

In the past I have had the room to drill an entirely new hole in the
axle socket and alxe. I try to drill the new hole closer to the wheel
which preserves the original strength..

I shrink (re-size) them to 1000 x 750 pixels, then apply a compression
factor to give anywhere from ~50 - 150 kilobytes each. Works good and
still gives good results, as witness all the pics on my website, and the
ones I've published here. If you have PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements, I
can walk you thru it very quickly. If you don't have an editing
program, email 'em to me for now, and I'll doctor 'em and send 'em back
ready to publish. Not a problem for me with high speed cable, and it'll
make it much easier on the dial-up folks. A free download that I use at
work, but don't much like is "Gimp." It works, but I find it awkward to
use. 'Course, I'm not used to it, either, so.........??

If you use Windows XP, here's a link to what has to be the world's
simplest picture file size reducer.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Scroll down to 'image resizer' & download it. Install the software. The
software will be invisible but will add an option to the popup menu that
appears when you right-click on a file. After installation, use your
favorite file management software (Windows Explorer works fine) to find
the picture you want to resize. Right-click on the picture file, then
click 'resize image' on the popup menu. Select the size you want
(640x480 works well for email) & click 'ok'. A new image file will be
created using the same file name but with 'small' added to the file name.
A 500k image file can be reduced to around 40k (or less) using this
program. Even if you go up in size a notch, it will still reduce
download time by around 80% & those of us forced to use dialup will be
very grateful. :-)

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Steven Green" <Kolbdriver@bellsouth.net>
Ed,
I used a fuel primer pump and the primer ports on each carb. to pump oil
into the engine before each extended shutdown. I put a tee in the oil hose
coming out of the oil tank to supply oil to the primer. with the engine
still idling I would pump several shots of oil into the carbs. until I could
see smoke from the exhaust then raise the idle speed slightly before shuting
it down.
I put this system on the second 582 I owned. The first failed a rod bearing
in flight which destroyed the engine. The concensus of three (Lockwood,
South MS, and LEAF) Rotax gurus was that corrosion of the rod bearing was
the root cause of the failure. I had purchased the first engine new and put
210 hours on it in 18 months so it did not sit idle for very long. I had my
doubts that corrosion could be the cause as frequently as the engine was
being run, but they are the gurus so I decided I would fog the new engine
each time it was shut down for more than one day.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard Girard" <jindoguy@gmail.com>
David, Here's a quick and dirty way to drill the hole to match the axle
fitting almost perfectly. You will need the following:
1 small can of Bondo
6" of manila hemp rope, 1/4" is fine
2 2" pieces of 1/2" .125 wall steel tubing (or have a machinist drill a
piece of 1/2 steel round stock)
2 3 1/2" long 1/4" bolt with nut and a few washers
Bolt the 2" pieces of tubing to the landing gear using the 3 1/2" long 1/4"
bolts. Chop up the manila rope into 1/2" lengths and reduce the pieces to
fibers. Mix manila fibers and a blob of bondo about the size of two golf
balls BEFORE adding hardener. Once bondo and manila fibers are thoughly
mixed up, add hardener. Build up bondo all around the area where the tubes
and axle fitting meet. Once the bondo cures, remove the bolts. You have
drill bushings that are a near perfect alignment on the holes and each
other. Put your new axle in location, clamp it up so it doesn't move and
drill using a slow speed drill and a little cutting oil to cool it. Clear
the chips from the bit often. When the first hole is drilled through, put
one of the 1/4" bolts into it to keep the axle from moving. Drill the second
hole. A hammer will knock off the big hunks of bondo and tubing and a file
or sandpaper to clean the axle fitting up like new.

Cool, thanks Eugenne! The MV pic's look really good for the small file size.
What tool did you use to shrink them? Sounds like there are several ways to go.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: "jimhefner" <hefner_jim@msn.com>
I had an earlier offline discussion with Jim Hauck and learned that he made the
airframe mods to add the 912 for Adriel and those are the changes that Adriel
reviewed with Dennis Souder. Jim said the original TwinStar frame was unmodified
when first outfitted with the photography pod. I stand corrected. I also
learned Adriel has broken his plane twice, when I only knew of once... :) Thanks
Jim!
I talked to a friend tonight that keeps his plane at LaColla airpark and he met
and talked to Adriel there today following Adriel's morning flight. My friend
was really impressed with Adriel's Kolb.... he said it looked more like a real
airplane than his memories of early ultralights with cables and sailcloth....
[Laughing] He also said Adriel told him he is moving to Colorado very soon.
Adriel was performing an aerial survey of development encroachment on the
desert area NW of Tucson with his flight this morning. It would be very interesting
and scary to see I'm sure.

| Subject: | Re: Adriel Sighting |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dennis Souder" <flykolb@pa.net>
Adriel's aircraft is an original TwinStar (not Mark-2 or 3). He
painstakingly built it all by himself with many modifications and additions
for his photographic purposes. Some years later he had an accident and a
fair amount of damage and Jim H. helped with the cage repair.
Later, when Adriel wanted a more dependable engine, because he was
flying over such inhospitable terrain, I did my best to dissuade him from
installing the 912 in the TS, and then I was even more adamant when he
wanted to do the 912S instead of the 912. But seeing he was determined and
not about to be deterred from his task - I offered what input I could so as
to hopefully increase the probability of success. Adriel is an
exceptionally gifted photographer, and designer, and builder and pilot. Not
too many of those around.
I was opposed to the 912 installation because the TwinStar has only
5" x 050 spars; not the 6" x 058 that the Mark-III uses. Even though Adriel
assured me that he would use the power very sparingly, I was and still am
concerned that others see his installation and think this is something they
too can do. Possibly they could, but maybe they would not be quite as
diligent in the building details as Adriel was, and maybe not quite as
meticulous in maintenance as Adriel is and possibly not as conservative in
flying as Adriel is ... and maybe they won't experience his success. And
maybe Adriel's 912S powered TS may yet have, for instance, have some fatigue
related problems surface - I certainly hope not. But one thing is for
certain, he is certainly probing closer to the edge than anyone has
previously done with the TS design. Adriel you are awesome - but keep
inspecting that frame!
Dennis

Thanks for correcting me Jim. You would know since you might have helped
Dennis custom built it for Adriel. I'm not familiar with the old Kolb line
but knew it was a 2 seater, modified quite a bit for his photography
equipment. I've never seen a stock Twinstar, but judging by Adriel's plane,
it appears to have had some similarities to the Mark III.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Please read over the Kolb-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below. The
complete Kolb-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Kolb-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle
Matronics Email List Administrator
[ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as
Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ]
This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm
************************************************************
******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS *******
************************************************************
PLEASE READ. This document contains Kolb-List policies and information
for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Kolb-List policies will
minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Kolb-List
running smoothly for all of us.
****************************************
*** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe ***
****************************************
Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and
select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You
may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of
your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the
complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information.
The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is:
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption
process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request
was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed.
You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request.
The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post
until you receive the second conformation email message.
*****************************
*** How to Post a Message ***
*****************************
Send an email message to:
kolb-list@matronics.com
Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed
to the List.
*****************************************************
*** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post ***
*****************************************************
When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message
is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the
email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor.
If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it
is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that
gets posted to the Lists.
Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important
with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook
or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be
functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM
test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List:
smith@machine.domain.com
smith@domain.com
Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure
your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to
the List.
*****************************************************************
*** Enclosures Stripped Out - Can't Get a Virus From the List ***
*****************************************************************
Any enclosures that are posted to the List will automatically be
stripped off, and ONLY the plain/text portion of the message will be
forwarded to the List.
Please configure your Email application to send Plain Text Only, and
disable any "Quoted Printable" or "HTML" encoding whenever possible.
Because enclosures are stripped out of incoming posts to the List,
the likelihood of getting a virus from the List is extremely small.
If you do receive a message that appears to be from the List, and it
does include a virus, it is very likely that it was sent *directly*
to you from someone on the List who has a virus. This is a specific
kind of virus, and you should try to inform the sender, if possible.
The best protection against viruses is a good virus protection program
such as Norton Antivirus. State of the art in virus protection today's
world gives maximum protection with little or no negative impact on
the computer system. You can't afford to be without a good virus
protection program these days.
Note that some limited enclosure posting is now enabled on a number
of Lists. Allowed types include .jpg, .gif, .txt, .pdf, .xls, and
a few other similar types.
*******************
*** Digest Mode ***
*******************
Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended
to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting
of a line of underscores.
Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.
To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form
described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.
http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable.
Now some caveats:
* Messages sent to "kolb-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
digest List.
* If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
the day.
* If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change
the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please
*do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.
****************************
*** List Digest Browser ***
****************************
An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text
or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to
the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found
at the following location:
http://www.matronics.com/digest
*****************************************
*** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag ***
*****************************************
At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very
small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive
it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the
message:
do not archive
Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List
email distribution as normal.
**********************************************
***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes *****
**********************************************
Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced
email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly
removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving
messages from the Kolb-List, go to the following Web page, and look
for your email address and a possible reason for your removal.
The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that
automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that
caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox
full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the
Lists you will find record of it at the following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed
If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel
free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice.

*********************************
*** Matronics Email List Wiki ***
*********************************
In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed
information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at:
http://wiki.matronics.com
The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information
for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page
where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki
permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately.
While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be
comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any
images and email it to:
wiki-support@matronics.com
One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct
a Wiki page for you.
Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the
Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that
post and convert it into a Wiki page.
*********************

*** List Support Contributions ***
**********************************
The Matronics Lists are run *completely* through the support of it members.
You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of
annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages
associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November
I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month,
I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they
are comfortable.
I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the
Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated
by companies that are themselves List members.
Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists
including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server
system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many
many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the
variety of services found here.
Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary
and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains
value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude.
Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just
subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in.
The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are
a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and
sending a personal check.
If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to
support its continued operation?

Kolb-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Kolb-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Kolb-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Kolb-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Kolb-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
