As from today Benelux trademark legislation in line with EU law
Today, 1st of March, changes were made to Benelux trademark law. Under the so-called Trademark Package, the Benelux trademark law had to be changed on a number of points. That actually had to happen by January 15, 2019. The Benelux legislator chose to implement the changes in two phases: the first changes were implemented on 1 June 2018 (Willem Leppink wrote about this earlier, see here), and today (a month and a half too late) the second set amendments. I will discuss the most important changes below point by point.
It is no longer required that a sign must be displayed graphically when registering. Starting today, all signs that are able to distinguish products from other companies can also be registered in the Benelux. An example of a 'non-graphic' sign is a sound fragment in an MP3 file.
Where until today only the 'shape of the product' fell under the scope of absolute exclusion grounds, the scope has now been extended to other characteristics of the commodity.
A distinction has been made between certification trademarks on one hand and collective trademarks on the other. Until today, Benelux trademark law only knew collective trademarks. Remarkably, the collective trademarks as we know them will probably fall under the definition of certification trademarks from this day on. For those collective trademarks that are actually certification trademarks, a transitional arrangement will apply.
The position of the trademark holder is clarified and strengthened. If a trademark is used by a third party as (part of) a trade name, this will constitute an infringement of the trademark.
In addition, the trademark owner can also take action against counterfeit goods that are in transit in the Benelux.
Finally, some property law aspects have been clarified. Regarding property law, from this day on a trademark (or design) falls under the jurisdiction of the Benelux country where the trademark proprietor is vested on the date of the application.
Because of these changes Benelux trademark is now in line with EU legislation. A point at which Benelux trademark law continues to deviate from the surrounding countries and vis-à-vis the EU trade mark is the so-called 'sub d infringement ground'. With a Benelux trademark one can also act against the use of a trademark that does not serve to distinguish goods and services. This keeps the Benelux trademark unique and preserves the advantages of a Benelux trademark. The Ploum IP team can help you with these subtle differences and will be happy to help you.

Dumbest kid in the world!
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!"

Dad's funeral
Unable to attend the funeral after his father died, a son who lived far away called his brother and told him, "Do something nice for Dad and send me the bill."
Later, he got a bill for $200.00, which he paid. The next month, he got another bill for $200.00, which he also paid, figuring it was some incidental expense.
Bills for $200.00 kept arriving every month, and finally the man called his brother again to find out what was going on.
"Well," said the other brother, "you said to do something nice for Dad. So I rented him a tuxedo."

Eddie wanted desperately to have sex with the hot girl at work, but she had a boyfriend
Eddie got so desperate that he went to her and said, "I will give you $1000 if you let me have sex with you." The girl looked at him shocked and said, "Hell no!" He said, "I'll be real quick; I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend over to get it, and I'll be finished by the time you've picked it up!"
She thought for a moment and told him that she had to ask her boyfriend. So she called him and explained the situation. Her boyfriend says, "Ask the guy for $2000. Pick up the money really really fast, and he won't even have time to get his pants down!" She agreed and accepts the proposal. 2 hours go by and the boyfriend is still waiting for his girlfriend to call back.
Finally after another fifteen minutes he calls and asks, "What the hell happened?!" Heavily panting, she managed to reply, "It's all in quarters!"

Denmark Considers Quitting FIFA and Talks with England about Taking Legal Action
According to "New Nostradamus," World War 3 will Start this Year
The Last of Us on HBO Gets a Second Season
After players were forbidden from donning "One Love" armbands during the World Cup, Denmark is considering leaving FIFA and is talking with England about suing the organization.
One-Love Armband
In Qatar, homosexuality is against the law and can result in up to seven years in prison.
Additionally, a number of European nations had intended to wear unique armbands before the contentious competition as a discreet reference to the LGBTQ+ population.
This week, it was revealed that FIFA had abandoned the preparations and was threatening to punish the participating teams severely.
Following the decision, the chief executive of the Danish Football Federation, Jakob Jensen, declared that he was in discussions with the participating countries, including England and Wales, about filing a lawsuit against FIFA.
He stated: "We are currently investigating our legal possibilities, and we are coordinating our discussions on that subject as well, but it is not yet viable to file a case with the CAS [Court of Arbitration for Sports].
"You can no longer use CAS, and I believe that this is just a press-circulating rumor.
"It's extremely different from going through CAS, and the Germans are looking into the legal options.
If you want to use CAS, you must first file a complaint through the FIFA system and then appeal to the appropriate body.
In addition, Jensen claimed that the Danes had also considered quitting FIFA entirely.
There hasn't been a decision made just yet. For a very long time, we have been very clear about this. Since August, we have been talking about it in the Nordic region," he said.
"I've given it some more thought, and while I can see that there might be difficulties if Denmark withdraws on its own, let's try to open a line of communication first.
"I need to consider the issue of how to rebuild FIFA's reputation. We must assess what has occurred before developing a strategy, in collaboration with our Nordic counterparts.
The decision by FIFA to forbid the "One Love" armbands was criticised by the English FA.
The organization said in a statement that it had been "willing to pay fines," but did not want to jeopardize the athletes' ability to compete in the tournament.
"FIFA has been quite clear that it would apply sporting punishment if our captains wear the armbands on the field of play," a spokeswoman for the organization stated.
"We have instructed the captains not to try to wear the armband in FIFA World Cup games because as national federations, we can't put our players in a position where they can be subject to sports punishments, such as bookings.
"We had a strong commitment to wearing the armband and were willing to pay the penalty that would typically be imposed for violating the rules on the equipment.
We cannot, however, put our athletes in a position where they risk receiving a ticket or possibly being asked to leave the field of play.
Black Adam to Lose a Lot After Its Release
Residents are Upset About Living in the Least Happy Place in the UK
Another scary prediction from the so-called "new Nostradamus"—this time that an aircraft crash this year will start World War 3—has been made.
Came to Propriety
The British self-styled psychic Craig Hamilton-Parker, sometimes known as the "Prophet of Doom," was born on January 24, 1954. He rose to fame for allegedly foreseeing the Brexit and the victory of Donald Trump. He writes a lot of New Age books as well.
The two major events of 2016 that Hamilton-Parker is most famous for supposedly having predicted are the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union and the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States.
Additionally, he asserted that the UK economy will "thrive" after Brexit, with a strong pound and a weak euro.
Trump and Brexit were not predicted by Hamilton-Parker, as claimed. He first anticipated that Jeb Bush would prevail in the 2016 Republican primary, and he was many years early in predicting that Britain will actually leave the European Union.
One terrifying Prediction
The world is afraid of the "new Nostradamus," Craig Hamilton-Parker, who accurately foresaw the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last year. The psychic has now seen a horrifying plane accident in Taiwan, which he predicts will eventually lead to the start of World War 3.
According to Hamilton-explanation Parker's of his vision, there will be a "collision," possibly between two aircraft or two submarines.
According to Mr. Hamilton-Parker, according to the Daily Star, the impending event would lead to a far more severe confrontation involving China and Russia, becoming the "most dangerous item for the next coming two years."
I've been saying for a while that I believed that there will be a dispute over Taiwan, which I think is likely to happen this year, he said.
"I believe there will be an unintentional confrontation in some ways because there will be a strange accident or collision."
According to the alarming forecast, "either submarines strike each other, airplanes collide, or someone sets it off, and it starts to spiral out of hand."
As China is claiming Taiwan as a part of its land and Taiwan is asserting its independence as a country, tensions between the two countries have reached new heights.
The "new Nostradamus" said, "I sense it's going to be a significant problem. Ukraine will seem little in comparison."
"My greatest fear is that Russia would support China in making that country a pariah state because it will encourage China and make the situation worse."
"Ultimately, it works out nicely though. I feel it ends up with a new China that's fragmented into several countries. as opposed to one giant China.
Nostradamus, the first French astrologer, also foresaw the possibility of a "great battle" in the near future, though he did not mention any exact dates. But with the ongoing confrontation between Russia and Ukraine and China and Taiwan, it's feasible that a greater incident might break out in the not-too-long future.
In his book of prophecies from 1555, Nostradamus stated: "Seven months great conflict, people killed by evil. Rouen, Evreux shall not fall to the King."

Christian Wade (Slough, 15 de mayo de 1991) es un exjugador británico de rugby que se desempeña como wing. Actualmente está jugando fútbol americano para los Buffalo Bills como running back.

Debido a su rápida aceleración, movimiento de cintura y alta velocidad, es considerado como uno de los backs más prolíficos del Mundo en la actualidad.

Carrera
Debutó con los London Wasps en la segunda mitad de la temporada 2010–11. Actualmente es un jugador titular en su club, fue determinante en la obtención del subcampeonato en la Aviva Premiership 2016–17 tras la derrota de su equipo a manos de los Exeter Chiefs y fue el máximo anotador de tries de esta temporada con 17.

En 2018, Wade dejó el rugby para seguir una carrera en el fútbol americano. Firmó con los Buffalo Bills de la National Football League (NFL) el 8 de abril de 2019.

Selección nacional
Fue convocado al XV de la Rosa para enfrentar a los Pumas en junio de 2013 ya que el seleccionado no contaba con sus estrellas, porque éstas se encontraban con los British and Irish Lions y participando de la Gira a Australia 2013. En total, por ahora solo jugó un partido y no marcó tries.

It was Heather's idea to use solid wood doors painted white to fence in their in-ground pool, said her husband, Eric, but he was happy to participate.
Our yard is cool, but I didn't know it was garden-tour worthy.
She said the idea probably came from Pinterest — "a husband's worst nightmare," Eric interjects — but she quickly decided the doors needed a unifying color.
"The colors stand off better" as well, Eric said, against the white background. They also put a string of LED lights at the top of the doors.
"It kind of gives it a skyline look" at night, Eric said.
"Our yard is cool, but I didn't know it was garden-tour worthy," Heather said.
Organizers disagreed, as did the Collinsville Community Appearance Board when the home took Yard of the Month honors a couple years ago.
The McConachies' small front yard has perennials flanking the porch, with bright annuals featured in the middle. The front and back yards are dotted with flowering perennials of lilies, coneflowers, hydrangea and phlox. Pots of SunPatiens spilling over the lip are next to large containers filled with herbs like parsley and thyme.
"We get nothing but sun," Heather said, and they each spend at least 30 minutes a day watering and dead-heading the flowers.
Eric notes that he gets the much larger backyard to water, but that's also where his raised vegetable beds are tucked away. The tomatoes, peppers and lettuces are not immediately seen from the door to the garden, and the plants are already bearing fruit.
The couple has lived in the home for more than 10 years. Many perennials were already established when they moved in, but they removed grass from the backyard and transplanted some of the flowering plants. They aren't done yet, either.
"My vision is a covered over area with the grill and television," Eric said.
Tickets: Advance tickets are $12, day of tour tickets are $15 and available at Creekside Nursery, The Flower Basket, the Collinsville Chamber of Commerce office and Collinsville City Hall.


El Pastor: A San Antonio, TX Restaurant.
El Pastor, located just north of the border in McAllen, began serving traditional dishes in Mexico since 1966 before it hopped over to the States in 2009. Throughout its decades-long development, its menu staples (baby goat, charred meat, charro beans, handmade tortillas and hot sauce) haven't been touched; goats are still strictly breast-fed and all meats are charred with mesquite charcoal. What has changed is the addition of a highly praised, all-you-can-eat breakfast bar.

Liverpool vs Stoke – Premier League preview and team news
April 10, 2016 April 8, 2016 Stephen Donovan
Liverpool and Stoke City meet for the fourth time in all competitions this season at Anfield on Sunday, with the both sides looking to continue their push for a European place by emerging with all three points.
The hosts still have a chance of going one better by winning the Europa League, and will be in a confident mood after earning a deserved draw away to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. Eyes will inevitably be set on the return fixture and fatigue will come into play for this one, but there is meanwhile a pressing need to win here as Jurgen Klopp has not been able to celebrate a win in the Premier League since the first weekend of March.
There has been a lot of good football played by the Reds in their last two outings as they always looked threatening against title hopefuls Tottenham with Philippe Coutinho instrumental, while in Germany the much talked about decision to start with Divock Origi as the lone striker emphatically paid off. The Belgian showcased his raw talent, and the immense physical strength that he possesses, holding off many an experienced campaigner in the Dortmund defence. He will now be in contention to start this one, with his self-belief having soared.
This is another tremendous season for Stoke as their objectives become gradually higher year on year, but they can still be immensely frustrating at times, as proved by the loss of a comfortable two-goal lead at home to Swansea City last weekend to only end up with a draw. The squad is full of injuries at present, but there was still a considerable gulf between the two sides in that encounter, where they were just guilty of cruising that little bit too much. If manager Mark Hughes can eradicate that, then exciting times lie ahead for the club.
This match is an opportunity to partially avenge the agonising defeat that the Potters suffered on penalties in their two-legged Capital One Cup semi-final, as well as to collect a third win in four away league games. Although they laid their top-flight foundations on home success, Stoke now seem equally – if not more – comfortable playing on the road, so will be far from daunted ahead of kick-off. However, it will be a test of the credentials of goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard, who was a little nervy on his league debut.
Jordan Henderson will be out for the remainder of the season for Liverpool, so Joe Allen will replace him in a midfield that is also deprived of the presence of Emre Can due to suspension.
Ryan Shawcross and Xherdan Shaqiri are both back available for the depleted visitors, who have doubts over Marko Arnautovic and Glenn Whelan.
Last Meeting: It seemed set to end in another home stalemate for Liverpool in November 2014 as they entered the closing stages at 0-0, but the determination of Glen Johnson proved decisive as he bravely headed in the winner. Stoke had come close as Bojan Krkic saw an effort come back off the crossbar, but they left with nothing.

"The Magic of Abbey Lincoln"
Abbey Lincoln (1930-2010) stands as a major jazz singer and prolific songwriter who blazed a new trail in American vocal music. Her voice, distinct and recognizable, her delivery straightforward and moving, she occupies an important place as a woman among preeminent jazz musicians and composers, who regarded her with deep admiration, and among the many singers she strongly influenced with her style and character.

The Many, Many Cilantro Benefits!
Cilantro is one of those amazing herbs that you can do virtually anything with. It goes splendidly in many dishes– especially in Mexican cooking. The leaves are almost calorie free and its more of an aromatic– best used raw or as a finish in cooking to maintain the flavor and texture. Great in salsa, cilantro is often known in the UK as coriander. It comes from the plant, coriandrum sativum, the Spanish translation is Cilantro…and that is the more common term used in the United States. You can also find cilantro referred to as 'Chinese parsley.' We'll be talking about the health benefits of the leaves of the Coriandrum plant.
At Medicinal-Foods, we advocate eating plant-based foods of all kinds because of their association with a reduced risk of many chronic illnesses that are brought about by lifestyle-related choices. There are several studies advocating that plant-based diets containing foods like cilantro decrease the risk for obesity, overall premature mortality, diabetes and heart disease as well as promoting healthy skin and hair, an increase in energy, and overall lower weight.
¼ cup of cilantro (equates to about 4 grams) contains a single calorie. 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of carbs, 0 grams protein, 2% daily value of Vitamin C and a 5% daily value of Vitamin A. The herb also contains Vitamin K and trace amounts of folate, potassium, maganese, choline, as well as antioxidants: beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
Water purification processes are top of mind for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. The next time you're camping or hiking and are faced with questionable drinking water, consider adding cilantro! There is research showing that cilantro leaves can be a cost effective, simple way to filter water…especially in third world regions where access to clean water can be difficult.
The research was done on various samples of plants and concluded that cilantro is the most powerful bio-absorbant material in the Tule Valley (Mexico City)– a region where water has extreme lead and nickel contamination. The cilantro was replaced by a charcoal filtration system– far less cost efficient for poverty stricken regions.
Typically, cilantro can be just put directly into public water filtration systems from the ground up– water is passed through and the cilantro removes any heavy metals. This results in cleaner drinking water. Also, dried cilantro can be used in place of tea bags in a pitcher of water. Allow to steep for a few minutes and it absorbs the heavy metals.
It requires minimal processing to prepare for filtration and really is just a matter of drying out the herb in the sun for a couple of days. It grows locally in a vast amount of regions and has been proven effective as a filtration system in areas with questionable drinking water.
It really isn't considered an essential crop in most places, so using it as a purifier won't affect cultural nutritional needs. It's easy to grow and manage, so it is again an effective addition in the battle for access to clean drinking water.
Cilantro's ability to detox heavy metals goes beyond its use in water. Ingesting as little as 1/4 cup of cilantro daily can have a powerful effect on detoxing your body. Use caution, however, if your body is high in heavy metals, you may experience a powerful detox if you overdo it with cilantro!

By Clive 11/23/2009 August Cellars, Buty, cyclocross, J Bookwalter, Next, Owen Roe, Seven Hills, Wine 7 comments
Over the summer the Corvallis office of The Oregon Wine Blog combined cycling and wine to bring you the Tour De Vino. Now it's Autumn in the Pacific Northwest and for me, that means its cyclocross season. I asked myself if was possible to combine two of my favorite things: cyclocross and wine tasting. I even (briefly) considered installing 40cm barriers between the wine and the party guests, though I decided not to as it would leave serious marks in the hardwood. Similarly, I dismissed the idea of bringing mud or a sand feature into the house due to prohibitively unpleasant cleanup.
Instead I decided to fashion the tasting after Cross Clash. Cross Clash is the annual battle between the two Northwest cyclocross powerhouses: Seattle meets Portland, Sasquatch versus the Unicorn, Washington against Oregon. I have no idea why a unicorn Portland is represented by a unicorn. If you have insight, please share in the comments.
I decided to send a call out to some friends. I asked them to bring their favorite bottle under (but near) $25 from their favorite wine-producing state. Cycling around (HA!) to the racing analogy, this would put the wine squarely at the Category 3 level. (Category or "Cat" 4 racers are beginners, and Cat 1 and 2 is your elite racing crowd of pros and very advanced amateurs.)
To have a little more fun and to ensure fair play, we decided to do the tasting blind. In Cross Clash scoring is based on the order the racers finish, with their state receiving their points. The higher the finish, the higher the points. The points are added together to determine the winning state. Prior to our 'race' it was clear there was some serious provincialism going on. Calls of "Hey, how's it feel to pay sales tax, loser?" and "You guys don't know how to pump your own gas?" were commonplace. This vitriol left me with doubts about objective judging the wines and reinforced the decision to do the tasting blind.
Gwynne set up a score sheet for each participant; they subjectively scored the wines based strictly on what they liked. They were asked to consider the palate, color and nose of the wine and give them a number score. The scores were totaled and a winner was declared. It came out Washington, in an echo of the Cross Clash outcome. But wait, there was a catch.
Anyone who has raced will tell you there is always a sandbagger. A "sandbagger" is a racer who has shown up looking for an easy victory. Like a pool hustler, the sandbagger is racing against guys that's he's guaranteed to beat, because the sandbagger hasn't upgrade his race category. He's often a Cat 3 racer riding against the 4s. We definitely had a Cat 2 racer mixing it up with the 3s and it came out in the results.
The consensus winner was the Buty Columbia Rediviva 2006 ($48), a delicious blend of cabernet and syrah. This wine was smoother than all the others, and had a structure and finish that belied the sandbagger it was. It was clearly in a class of its own. Let me say that if you haven't had any of the Buty wines, what are you waiting for? This is their top dog, and it shows. Three years in the cellar before release has turned out an incredible wine.
While there was a clear winner, no one was lapped. The other wines were able to hang with our "cheater." While there was some debate, the next two favorites were Bookwalter's Subplot 23 and Seven Hill's Merlot. Gwynne and I picked up the J. Bookwalter Subplot #23 ($20) at the Woodinville tasting room, and it's an amazing wine. The lighter spice on the palate and the cherry and wood nose are very enjoyable, and Gwynne was captivated by the taste of butterscotch in a red wine. Close on its heels was the Seven Hills Merlot, Columbia Valley ($20). With tones of oak and rounded spices, this wine had one of the favorite noses of the evening.
From Oregon, we had two Pinots that fared well. next: ($18) a wine made by King Estates, was very smooth, though it didn't initially show complexity. The wine had a great balance, and was unanimously described as "a wine I could drink all day," which was the goal when King Estates made it. We were all a bit perplexed by the label, and I found the silly quote on the back a bit over the top.
The Sharecropper's Pinot Noir, from Owen Roe ($24) was more nuanced than next: and showed some of the craftsmanship of those master Oregonians. Another everyday drinking pinot that had hints of red and black fruits.
The wildcard of the evening was the 2003 Marachel Foche from August Cellars. This wine is a wild one, and has been a favorite of ours, and a reason to visit the folks at August Cellars almost annually. The Foche had the most pronounced nose of the evening, which everyone found intriguing, but many folks weren't up for the palate of forest floor, mushrooms, and wild, wild fruit.
So this year's Cross Clash winner was also this year's Cork Clash winner. But there was foul play afoot. We're doing it again next Autumn, giving Oregon a shot at revenge. Send your recommendations or have your own Cork Clash. While you're at it, be sure to check out a cyclocross race near you, the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross will be in Portland on December 5th and 6th.
You are far too diplomatic in your description of the Marachel Foche from August Cellar. The group agreed - it smelled like goat! One guest even insisted that the wine tasted like it had been corked.
The wine is certainly interesting. But if you are sensitive to barnyard smells, proceed with caution.
Rick November 23, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Goat wine? I can't wait to go to one of your parties!
Josh Gana November 23, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Yea, I thought the Corvallis Bureau had it made with crappy Indonesian wine...but that's got nothing on goat wine. Or, is it unicorn wine?
Clive November 24, 2009 at 7:11 AM
I love that wine. I have the 02, 03, which I now need to replace and the 04. It's a wild wine, in multiple senses of the word and certainly not for everyone. The wine wasn't corked, it's got character.
I agree with King Estate's Next label. The name signals to me a old person trying to seem cool to appeal to the millennials. And the quote on the back just reinforces my belief :)
Clive November 24, 2009 at 9:35 PM
The most annoying part of the label to me is the bit about "we're all philosophers" or however it's put. We're not. I have two degrees in philosophy and so maybe I'm taking in personally, but its similar to when they had the Dalton character (Swayze) from Roadhouse have a MA in philosophy. I get a little po'ed at that.
Now I'm even more confused. Are you suggesting that Patrick Swazey is the goat? I think my mind was just blown.

Russian Troops To Get Modernized Attack Helicopters In 2018. Image: TASS
The delivery of Russia's upgraded version of Mi-28NE Night Hunter attack helicopter is on schedule and will reportedly be handed over to the Russian defense ministry by 2018 end, the head of Russian Helicopters confirms to TASS.
The Ministry of Defence of Russia ordered two improved variants of Mi-28NM attack helicopters last year, which will feature an innovative helmet-mounted target designation and display system as part of its onboard radar equipment.
"Now a pre-production batch is underway and the contract is due to be completed in November this year. Correspondingly, we are complying with the schedule. So far, two helicopters are stipulated in the contract," Russian Helicopters Group CEO Andrei Boginsky was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
The Mi-28NM is a modernized version of the Mi-28N Night Hunter attack helicopter; it is being upgraded to become a fifth-generation gunship. The project has been in the works since 2009.
The helicopter features a 360-degree radar and advanced weapons guidance system that ensure faster target acquisition through an upgrade to the Mi-26NM's fire control system. Unlike its predecessor, the Mi-28NM can be piloted by the gunner and is better suited for the use of high-precision ordnance.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov had said that this helicopter will be main attack helicopter of Russian Armed forces in next 10 years.

Bicycling the 54-mile Indian Lake-Northville segment of the Adirondack Trail is a great Adirondack experience as you cross from the Hudson River drainage to that of the Sacandaga. The Sacandaga is a beautiful river with many hidden gems and those who take the time to explore it come back with tales to tell. This segment of the Adirondack Trail might also be called the Waterfall Route because of the numerous and beautiful waterfalls in the Speculator-Wells area. Communities along this segment between Indian Lake and Northville include Speculator, Piesco (just off the route), Wells and Hope.
As with most of Route 30, wide shoulders – six feet and more – and great surface quality add that extra comfort factor along this popular highway route. Get out on the road early and you'll have many stretches all to yourself. There are a number of NYSDEC campgrounds and a nice variety of beaches for a cool dip on a hot day. Plan for a swim at Wells or Speculator – or both.
The many lakeshore communities along the way offering opportunities for food, shopping and other relaxation. Before you leave Indian Lake you might want to stoke the boiler with some of the best BBQ found this side of the Mason-Dixon Line. There are not one but two ice cream stands in Speculator, so plan accordingly.
The Wells-Sacandaga River Loop is a nice 8-mile loop out of Wells that could serve as a family ride – with older children or with younger children on trail-a-bikes. Its a pleasant river-side ride for anyone wanting to go for a cruise on the bike. One-half of the route is on wide shoulders on State Route 30, going north out of Wells, while the return is on a quiet blacktop road – County Route 8. The Sacandaga River flows between the two segments. Start and end at Wells Public Beach on Lake Algonquin, a great place for a swim on a hot day. Ride can be extended north on Route 8 towards Bakers Mills, and about 3 miles north along that stretch is a short section of gravel road leading to Griffin Gorge and Waterfalls, with a nice view from a bridge there.

Their rediculously infectious tones runs along those dreamy pop lines of Kids On A Crime Spree or The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and had me hooked from the opening guitar strum. I was a little sad to see them go but I was there for Yuck, and Yuck did not dissapoint either.

Verbatim DVD+R Double Layer Recordable Discs
Pros:Fast burn speeds, high reliability, no coasters Cons:A little more expensive than other comparable media
Initial Views
I ordered the Verbatim 95166 discs on NewEgg.com and they arrived a few days later. After removing the DVDs from the box of other stuff, I was presented with a little cardboard package measuring about 5.5" by 7" by 1.5" and weighing about a pound. I opened it up and received a media cake box spindle containing my 10 blank discs.
The discs are silver colored on the top, with "DVD+R DL" and the Verbatim logo across the top in gold. "Double Layer" and "8.5 GB" are written in the middle one on each side of the hub, and the bottom contains 3 gold lines for you to write on. The bottom of the disc is a reflective blueish color.
While not the best looking media, they are nice enough looking; though for a more professional looking disc you may want to try media with a white printable surface, or (providing your burner supports it) Lightscribe media.
Why DVD + over DVD -?
There are a lot of differences between the two formats, for example DVD-R uses a 140.6kHz wobble and carries information on pre-recorded pits between grooves. DVD+R uses an 817.4kHz wobble and carries information by a phase modulation of the wobble. Most of the differences have little relevance to consumers, so I won't bore you with the details. The one difference that is a big selling point for me is the ability to change the book type of the media, so it will play in my older model DVD player.
The book type is a four bit field in the physical format information section of the control data block at the start of every DVD. A lot of devices use it to figure out what type of disc is inserted, and how it should go about accessing that disc. With DVD + media you can use bitsetting. This allows you to change the book type to fool older devices into reading the discs anyway, even if they were manufactured before the newer format was defined. Hence, if you burn a video to a DVD+R DL disc, and try to play it in a slightly older DVD player, it may not be recognized as valid media with the default book type value of "1110". So, you use bitsetting and change it to "0000" and the older DVD player thinks it's a normal DVD-ROM disc. This can greatly increase the compatibility of DVD + media.
The part of DVD - media that contains information about the disc is pre-written during the production of the media. This part of the disc contains things such as the CSS (Content Scramble System) key, which is part of commercial movie copy protection; but it also contains space for the booktype field. This means that bitsetting is not possible on DVD - media.
Disc Capacity
A DVD-5 disc is a 12 CM single sided, single layer DVD. It holds approximately 4.37 GB of data, which is over 2 hours of video. This DVD-9 media is also a 12 CM single sided disc, but contains a second layer, and holds approximately 7.95 GB of data, or about 4 hours of video. It accomplishes this by making the first layer transparent, so the laser can shine through it to read the inner layer.
The reason a dual layer disc will not hold twice the data of a single layer disc, is because the pits that hold the data are longer (0.44 um opposed to 0.4 um). The pits are also further apart; these factors make it easier for the laser to read the pits correctly. That means there are less pits to hold data, so dual layer discs have a slightly reduced capacity per layer than single layer discs, but much more capacity overall because of the second layer.
Reliability & Speeeeeeeed!
The Verbatim 95116 media advertises a maximum supported speed of 2.4x. What, that's all? No, not really. Aside from the 2.4x speed rating, the package is stamped "Up to 8x speed with compatible high speed DVD+R DL drives". I burned the first 2 discs at the advertised 2.4x, then I jumped up to 4x for the next 2 discs and they worked flawlessly. Discs 5 and 6 were recorded at 6x (that's about a 20 minute burn) with no errors. The final 4 discs I burned at 8x, and 3 of them worked perfectly; while the 4th froze up during the transition between disc layers on my DVD player. That may just have been my player though, as it is pretty old and is prone to act up regardless. The disc plays perfectly fine in my computer.
I created my data with a program called MemoriesOnTV, which allowed me to take hundreds of pictures and a bunch of video clips from my computer and make a slideshow, complete with audio and text. I filled my project up to the maximum I could fit on a dual layer disc, and ended up with about a 3 hour long DVD. It surely would have been longer, had I not used such high resolution images and video. I burned this to the discs in DVD format with Nero.
Burning a full dual layer DVD at 8x took me approximately 15 minutes. They were all burned with my Lite-On SHM-165P6S using the latest firmware. I would have tried to burn a couple at even faster speeds, just out of curiosity, but 8x is the maximum my burner supported.
Disc Care
Keep discs away from heaters, hot equipment, direct sunlight, pets, and children. Don't throw them out in the snow bank, or stick them in your freezer or microwave. Always store DVD discs at temperatures between -4 to 122 degrees F, or -20 to 50 degrees C - according to the DVD specification.
Always clean DVDs with a soft lint-free cloth. Data is situated circularly on discs, so always wipe in a straight line from the center to the outer rim. This way you aren't as likely to damage the data the disc from causing microscopic scratches while cleaning, and your discs will last a lot longer. Try not to use strong or abrasive cleaning solutions; water or isopropyl alcohol work just fine.
Scratches effect more data on a DVD than they do on a CD, because the data density of a DVD is four times greater than that of a CD. That is not to say that DVDs are easier to ruin though, as the error correction is a lot better for DVDs than it is for CDs.
DVDs are read by a laser, and thus never wear out from being played over and over again like VHS tapes do. Also note that DVDs (and CDs) are not effected by magnets like floppy discs, hard drives, tapes or zip discs are. If you take care of your DVDs they might just be around long after you're gone. These particular discs use a high performance metal azo dye to ensure data reliability and extend the life of the discs.
The media code is MKM001, manufactured either in Singapore by Mitsubishi Chemicals (as Verbatim is a subsidiary of the Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation); or by Moser Baer in India starting early 2007 (Mitsubishi outsourced some production to Moser Baer). A Verbatim spokesman confirmed that the India plant still uses the same high quality methods and materials as the main Singapore plant, and MKM media is one of the best.
All Verbatim discs also come with a limited lifetime warranty, and Verbatim provides toll-free technical support and service.
While the Verbatim 95166 may not be the most inexpensive media on the market, it's exceptionally reliable, really fast, and by far the best media I have used to date. I whole-heartedly recommend the Verbatim 95166 media to anyone.


MARIO BALOTELLI could be set for a sensational third spell in the Premier League, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
The mercurial Italian first arrived in England as a 20-year-old, signing a five-year deal at Manchester City for an eye-watering £24m fee.
He scored 20 goals in 54 appearances during a turbulent spell that saw flashes of brilliance dampened by erratic behaviour off the pitch.
A training ground bust-up with Roberto Mancini proved the final nail in the coffin before he was sold to AC Milan in 2013.
But he spent just 18 months away, returning to the Premier League in an £18m move to Liverpool that raised more than a few eyebrows.
Seen as a replacement for the departing Luis Suarez, Balotelli struggled to find his form in front of goal.
After finding the net just once in 16 appearances, he was farmed back out to Milan on loan.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp allowed the 26-year-old to join Nice this summer on a free transfer after admitting the striker was not in his first-team plans.
But the move has proved to be a blessing for Balotelli, bagging nine goals in his first 13 games to remind his detractors of the talent behind the tantrums.
LIVERPOOL flop Mario Balotelli has run the rule over the managers he's played under during his time in the game.
Speaking with talkSPORT host Jim White earlier today, Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola appeared to suggest the Italian has unfinished business in England.
"We've already had talks with English clubs, but it's really too early to say. We want to keep it day-by-day with Mario," he said.
"For Mario I always knew it [his return to form] will come. He was in his last year at Liverpool and he was very stable and not so emotional anymore.

Saturday Morning Special - July 16th
This morning on TPS we spoke with 5 guests and pushed our charity auction total to over $5000 as we raised more funds to help the victims of the fire and flooding in Slave Lake. It was the third opportunity for fans and listeners to get in on the action, to help out some folks in need and to come out of it with some pretty neat stuff.
As for the guest list... we were joined by one of the top prospects of the Tampa Bay Lightning, forward Brett Connolly. Are his days as a member of the Prince George Cougars and the WHL behind him? Is he ready for the next level? How has this summer's regiment differed from the last few years? Is the 2012 World Junior Championship on his mind at all or is he 100% focused on the NHL?
Les Lazaruk is the voice of the WHL's Saskatoon Blades and he was up next. We began by asking him what fans in Edmonton and Calgary should expect as host cities for the 2012 World Juniors. Of course Saskatoon played the role in 2010 so Les had some great insight. We also asked him how will the 2011-12 edition of the Blades look without Schenn, Hamilton, Elliot and Stanford? Can the powerhouse club remain a contender? And, with the cyclical nature of junior hockey a top team has to make a push when they are within the possibility of winning... but now that they didn't, do the Blades regret the Brayden Schenn deal?
A former Blade who got his first taste of the NHL last year, goaltender Braden Holtby of the Washington Capitals was next. What did the trade of Semyon Varlamov mean for him and more importantly, the signing of Tomas Vokoun? If he's destined to return tot he AHL this year... how would that sit with him? And speaking of the AHL, what kind of a teammate was Sheldon Souray last year in Hershey?
It's official, the NCHC Conference will begin play in 2013-14 along with the Big Ten. What will the ramifications mean for NCAA hockey and what happens to the CCHA and WCHA Conferences now? Paula Weston from USCHO.com joined us at the start of the second hour and gave us her perspective on current events. Also, what's the significance of verbal and signed letters of intent if in the end they don't guarantee a player will play for the program that he gave one to?
We then hoped to speak with Canada's coach for the U20 WJC but Don Hay was actually on the ice during the time he was scheduled to join us. Instead, we'll attempt to speak with him on Tuesday.
Finally, one of the members of Edmonton's growing "Ryan Club", Ryan O'Marra talked to us about signing another contract with the Oilers on Friday. Is the 2011-12 version of the team the one he's got the most realistic chance of cracking out of camp? And just what is with all the Ryan's in the organization these days? We count about 7 and is it a coincidence that guys like O'Marra, Ryan Smyth and Ryan Jones are sporting noteworthy head lettuce?
This coming Tuesday we are taking The Pipeline Show on the road for the very first time. We'll be in beautiful Jasper, Alberta broadcasting live from the world famous Jasper Park Lodge. Please take note that the post show archive will not be available on our site until Friday night but you'll still be able to catch the podcast at the theTEAM1260.com website.
Speaking of archives, if you missed today's show... you can find it HERE.
Labels: CCHA, Connolly (Brett), Holtby (Braden), NCAA, NCHC, O'Marra (Ryan), Saskatoon Blades, WCHA
I just wanted to say I immensely enjoy your radio show and am a regular listener.
I live in New Delhi, India. Have no ties to Edmoton, or even Canada. I mostly follow European leagues - though I did stumble across your show in the prospects forum on hockeysfuture, an internet hockey message board.
One listen and I became hooked.
Much, much appreciation for the great work you two staying on top of prospects coming down the pipe!
Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know. That's great to hear... Keep listening and spreading the word about the show over there!

Canada/U.S.A: What's your favourite memory?


Real worship is about Jesus. It IS costly. And it DOESN'T make sense.
Scientists tell us of the powerful ability of the sense of smell to trigger memories—that the olfactory bulb in our brain links scent to event. That is why walking into a home with cookies baking in the oven can carry you back to the security of grandma's house decades earlier. Scent, somehow, unifies and cements all 5 senses and places us, momentarily, in the experiences of our past. One suspects the story of the anointing by the woman at Bethany provided just such a fragrant link in the disciples' minds between burial perfume and Jesus' looming Passion.
The story of the woman of Bethany was obviously an important one in the early church, as all four Gospel writers record it (Matthew 26:6-12, Mark 14: 3-9, Luke 7:36-49, John 12:1-8). As a whole, the Gospel writers tell us three things in this story: Real worship is about Jesus. It IS costly. And it DOESN'T make sense. That is why it is so odd that in this fragrant Gospel narrative, the memory of the eyewitnesses seems fuzzy… There is a woman. There is an anointing. There is expensive, perfumed oil. There is the objection to using it on Jesus. But then the details start getting jumbled.
Are these four accounts one event? Two? Three? Scholars have wondered for centuries. It's easy to get frustrated with the Gospel writers here. They carefully name and give character to the Twelve, yet they blur the details of this woman and her story.
Who was this woman? Both Matthew and Mark have Jesus predict that this story will always be told in memory of her…but then her name conspicuously escapes them. Luke tells us she was a "a sinner." John alone tells us that her name was "Mary." But Mary was the most common women's name in first Century Palestine. There were three women named Mary present at the crucifixion that we know of. Which Mary is this?
Luke places the story early in his Gospel. Matthew, Mark, and John place it in Bethany, the day before the Last Supper and Jesus' arrest by the mob in the garden. Here are a few more details: Several days before his betrayal and death, Jesus and his disciples dine at the home of Simon the Leper in Bethany. While they recline at the table, a woman, whom John, the last Gospel writer by decades, identifies as Mary of Bethany approaches Jesus. We don't know how long she had followed Jesus. What we do know is that Mary knew that worship has an object: Real worship is about Jesus.
Mary has an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, worth a year's wages. These jars, we are told, were permanently sealed. To let the perfumed oil out one had to break the neck off. Once opened, like a jar of mayonnaise, it had to be used. Mary broke her jar, and emptied the perfume on Jesus. Real worship is costly.
In another fuzzy detail, John has the woman anoint Jesus' feet, wiping them with her hair. Matthew and Mark report that the woman of Bethany anointed Jesus' head. Both actions flower with symbolism. In the ancient Near East, anointing the head signified Kingship – Kings were anointed at their coronation by the high priest or prophet. The word "Christ," is a transliteration of the Greek word "Christos," itself a translation of the Hebrew word for Messiah, which means "the anointed one." As Rachel Held Evans says, "This anonymous woman finds herself in the very untraditional position of priest and prophet." Only in the upside-down Kingdom of Jesus, does this make sense." Because real worship DOESN'T make sense.
Anointing feet, on the other hand, models humility, service…love. John's account is more intimate. Awkward even. In a culture in which a woman's touch was forbidden, for Mary to cradle Jesus' feet in her hands and brush oil over his ankles and toes with the ends of her hair was unthinkable. This is most likely the oil for her own burial she has poured out. Mary breaks her treasured bottle of burial perfume and empties it on Jesus. She spares no expense. She is fully committed. She is "all in" – sacrificing her own future. The self-emptying of this action foreshadows Jesus' washing the disciples feet to come the next day on Maundy Thursday. And just as we see the male disciples discomfort at that event, the disciple's unease at her display of affection is palatable. Real worship is about Jesus. It IS costly. And it DOESN'T make sense.
In the midst of all this symbolism and foreshadowing, Jesus interprets this event for us: It is an act of worship in preparation for his burial. When the disciples rebuke the woman for what they see as a waste of money, Jesus returns the rebuke saying, "Why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for me. You always have the poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for its burial." Jesus had been speaking of his impending death for a good while, but the Twelve kept missing it. The idea of a kingdom ushered in with the death of their friend rather than the death of their enemies was unthinkable. It is no wonder they complained about the "waste" of money the anointing represented – they assumed they would need to finance their ministry with Jesus for years to come. Mary alone seems to get it. She is the first of Jesus' disciples to acknowledge his impending death… the one who anoints "the anointed one." For this, Jesus gives her his highest praise. "Truly I tell you, wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her." What a remarkable thought—that from open air revival to cathedral, Europe to Uruguay, Israel to Africa, this woman's story would be told.
Jesus wanted us to remember. Yet we aren't even sure of the woman's name. How is it that, unlike other Gospel stories in which details drop out as we get to the later Gospels, her name does not appear until very late? I suspect it is because this good lady did not want it to appear. The beneficiaries of Jesus' ministry joined the early church after his resurrection. They shared their stories to encourage one another. Later, when it became obvious that Jesus was tarrying in his expected return, writers gathered and recorded those stories. In the early stories of blind Bartimaeus, for example, we know Bart's name, his dad's name, and even that a blind friend was beside him in the early Gospels. But by the time (and distance) that Luke writes, Bartimaeus is presumably gone and his name is dropped. Bart's story had been told so often that it does not even make John's Gospel, the last one written. So why is this woman not named by the early authors? The obvious guess is that it was specifically because she was still around. And SHE did not want it named.
We know that Mary was a worshipper. My guess, knowing a few Mary types, is that, for Mary, worship was, first and foremost not about her, but about Jesus. And she didn't want folks to get distracted in admiring her. My guess is that Mary is named by John specifically because she is no longer around to keep a witness from recording her name.
But what of you? Where is your focus? What is your perfume? What do you guard and value above all else? Is it material possessions? Is your perfume your reputation? Friends? Career? Take a moment and name that which you value most, because you cannot pour out that which you cannot name.
The challenge of Mary this Holy Week is that we would dare break open that which we value most and pour it out as a fragrant offering upon our Lord. Perhaps, with the help of the Holy Spirit, the scent might trigger a memory… like the comfort of grandma's house, bought through decades of difficult labor during hard times, we would be reminded that our comfort from God was bought at a high price. Because Real worship is about Jesus. It DOESN'T make sense. And it IS costly.
*This was the message from "Dinner Church," our Wednesday Holy Week liturgy for families. The service is based on one done at St. Lydia's in Brooklyn. It has a contemplative feeling (with Taize-esque music.) It is based on 1 Corinthians and what is thought to be the earliest non-canonical Christian literature, a teaching tool called The Didache. It is essentially the biblical "love feast" (Jude 1:12, 1 Cor. 11). The candle lit room set in a circle and contemplative music work well for our rowdy urban kids. The people prepare the meal together, light the worship/dinner space, pray and sing, and eat over candle light. It also gives us a chance to give folks an overview of the upcoming Triduum of holy week and pass out devotionals for families to use at home.
They didn't know what they were doing when they made John Archbishop of Constantinople. They learned not to give a captivating speaker a microphone if you don't know what he is going to say. John Chrysostom or "golden-mouthed" had a promising career in Greek rhetoric that he dashed by becoming a Christian, then a hermit to memorize the Bible. When his health forced him back to civilization, he became a preacher of great fame. He taught the scriptures practical everyday application, including preaching against the hoarding of wealth (angering some of the wealthy), and that priests should serve where assigned rather than touring for honorariums (angering the priests). He was the first (that I am aware of anyway) since the biblical authors to treat intimate marital relations as a good thing.
Here is a sermon excerpt from the late 300's. Homeboy could preach!
A virgin, a tree and a death were the symbols of our defeat. The virgin was Eve: She had not yet known man; the tree was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; the death was Adam's penalty. But behold again a Virgin and a tree and a death, those symbols of defeat, become the symbols of his victory. For in place of Eve there is Mary; in place of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the tree of the Cross; in place of the death of Adam, the death of Christ.
gives life again to those who were born before it. Who can tell the Lord's mighty deeds? By death we were made immortal: these are the glorious deeds of the Cross.
The Cross did all these wonderful things for us: the Cross is a war memorial erected against the demons, a sword against sin, the sword with which Christ slew the serpent. The Cross is the Father's will, the glory of the Only-begotten, the Spirit's exultation, the beauty of the angels, the guardian of the Church. Paul glories in the Cross; it is the rampart of the saints, it is the light of the whole world.
Bishops vs. Bibles: Authority in the early church.
Yes, kiddos, there really is a Santa Claus.
