Fruitful Sunday, March 30 "A Fruitful Congregation is: Intentional about VITAL Ministries" Dr. Bob Hundley Luke 4:18-19 Matthew 25:35-40 Acts 1:8 Ministry Focus - ACCESS Hunger Walk Table of Contents
I´d like to bring the congregation up to speed on the church finances through February. Revenues are at about 89% of plan ($-24,000). One contributor to this negative is that two significant rent payments were not received until early March, but this will reflect favorably on March. Congregation giving is at 93% of plan, which is normal for the winter months. Expenses are at 96% of plan (-$10,000). As you might expect, utilities are running higher than planned due to the cold winter. The staff is doing a nice job in managing other expenses. In total, through February, expenses have exceeded revenues by $44,000. It is not unusual for us to be in a negative position at this time of year. Winter utilities are always high, and several givers are away for the winter. We do, however, face challenges for the year. Without action, we will see a deficit of $120,000 by the end of the year. We are responding to this issue in two ways… 1) We will be working with the staff to find additional ways to reduce spending WITHOUT affecting vital ministry. This is always difficult because of the wonderful impact our ministries have, and the lives we affect as Christian disciples. 2) We believe that God is calling our church to pray about our giving. If we were a tithing congregation, our projected deficit would be erased and we would be expanding ministry in many new and exciting ways! We will end the year balanced - as we always do, but it will take some work and commitment. Does your giving reflect the joy you feel from a personal walk with God? Are you giving weekly or monthly to match the regular expenses we experience at First Church? It will be a great feeling if we balance our budget through increased revenue, inspired by God´s wonderful presence in our lives - rather than impacting critical Christian ministry by having to find ways to cut. First Church has a wonderful history of responding to God´s call. How will we respond now? Chris Hawkins, Finance Committee Table of Contents
FEEDING AMERICA Join us Saturday, April 19 for the monthly food distribution at Cesar El Chavez Elementary (1205 Grandville St. SW 49503).

If you would like to be part of this important ministry, please contact Marj Timmerman at 901.9224, email@example.com or by using the Sunday sign-up sheet. FAMILY PROMISE WEEK FAST APPROACHING When we hear the term "homeless," most of us don´t think of children and families, and yet they are the fastest growing segment of this population. FUMC will be hosting Family Promise the week of April 6 - 13. During this time, our church becomes a temporary "home" in which families are treated as guests of our church family. By volunteering you can help alleviate the hurt and alienation of homelessness, and both volunteers and guests can grow and learn from each other.

1 sprig fresh mint
Pour rum, lime juice, orgeat, curaçao, and orange bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice cubes, shake, and strain over crushed ice in a Collins glass (a 10- to 14-oz. tumbler). Garnish with the Angostura bitters and a sprig of mint.

To make orgeat syrup: Toast ½ cup sliced almonds with their skins in a dry sauté pan over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until browned. Add ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water.

Our community garden, the Rose Circle Community Garden in West End Atlanta, has just expanded into a vacant field behind our existing garden. We will need to maintain the entire field and part of it is too hilly for a lawn mower to cut. We are thus in need of a string trimmer.
We have a fair assortment of plants that can be traded for a sring trimmer that is in good working condition. Such as a crabapple tree, perennial flowers including lilies, tiger lilies, hellebores, various mints, walking onions, leeks, etc. If there is something else you are looking for, just ask and we'll see if we might have it to trade. |

User demand for bandwidth, content and services available via a mobile device are expanding at an alarming pace. In-Building Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) designs based on coverage will simply not meet today's demand. The connectivity issue within your leased space will only get better or worse depending on how you address the issue today.
WIN has utilized our experience and knowledge of the industry to create financial models to help our customers obtain coverage for targeted buildings. Buildings are created differently and carrier macro networks are not designed the same way in each market, why should we assume each customer has the same financial structure?
Understanding our customer's mobility needs ensures an In-Building Distributed Antenna System (DAS) design that meets the requirements of our customers and the carriers joining the system. The evolution of the In-Building DAS industry has evolved rapidly over the past 3 years which is our job to keep up with.

Oct 22, 2012 11:18 PM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The operators of the shuttered San Onofre nuclear power plant say a hydrogen leak is the latest problem to plague the troubled plant, but it was small and presented no risk to workers or the public.
Plant operator Southern California Edison said in a statement Monday that the leak was discovered in a non-nuclear part of the facility Sunday and has been reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/RSeFa9) reports that hydrogen is used to cool electrical generators at the plant, and a pipe fitting will be replaced because of the leak.
The plant located between Los Angeles and San Diego hasn't produced power since Jan. 31 because of excessive wear in its reactors, and it's not clear when, or if, it will return to service.

AS HAS been the case since the financial crisis, the emerging markets are set to remain the engine of global growth in the short term, and indeed beyond. Although global industrial production is now some 8% above pre-crisis levels, this is thanks solely to the emerging markets where production is almost 30% up on its 2007 level. By contrast, industrial production in the advanced economies is still more than 9% below its 2007 level and has recently dinked south again in the wake of the tragic events in Japan in March.
Among the emerging-market regions, Asia is the clear frontrunner, with the financial crisis ructions barely having dented the upward surge in production. Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe are taking longer to recover from the steep slide seen in 2008/2009, but in both regions industrial production is back above pre-crisis levels.
Looking at overall GDP growth in 2011, we are expecting global growth to ease to 3.3% this year, down from 4.1% last year. The moderate slowdown will be evident more or less equally across the globe, with growth in the industrial countries slowing from 2.5% to 2.0% and in the emerging markets from 7.3% to 6.0%. Our detailed forecasts (including 2012) can be found here.
It is not surprising that those countries which, despite the various firefighting stimulus packages, managed to keep a tight rein on their public finances have bounced back far more strongly from the post-crisis slump than those where consolidation and balance-sheet repair are now the order of the day. Although inevitably crimping growth in the short term, consolidation is necessary and will improve the medium-term outlook.
Despite the festering debt crisis, the euro-zone economy as a whole is in fairly good shape, with growth in 2011 expected to reach 2.0% after 1.7% in 2010. And this is not due to Germany's recovery alone. Even at the periphery, there is nascent evidence of a gradual stabilisation, with growth expected to return to positive territory this year in both Spain and Ireland. In Greece we might see the recession slowly fading towards the end of this year, while Portugal will slip back into recession as the austerity measures bite.
In the USA the outlook is clouded by the fact that the administration is failing to come up with a medium-term plan to rein in debt. The economy has been responding only lethargically to the plethora of pep-pills it has been given. Inroads into unemployment have been laborious. We expect GDP growth to slip to 2.6% this year from 2.9% in 2010.
So it is hard to distinguish the quality of the short-term outlook between the US and the EU. For similar reasons—consolidation and debt crisis—we can expect only moderate growth on both sides of the pond.
Now to China: More and more pundits are predicting a serious shock to growth as various bubbles burst. We take a more sanguine view. True, bank lending and real estate prices have been a cause of concern for a while now. Additionally, the rise in consumer prices is among the list of headaches, harbouring considerable potential for social tension. The government has responded by setting price caps for basic products (e.g. foodstuffs and household energy). The central bank is also countering the rising inflationary pressure by steadily ratcheting up the minimum reserve rate for commercial banks and its key interest rate. We believe that the Chinese government will successfully master the balancing act inherent in a "controlled growth slowdown". To reduce domestic price pressure, the government is also likely to allow the renminbi to appreciate slightly further against the US dollar. This renders imports cheaper and boosts purchasing power. Even with growth of "only" around 9%, China will remain a stable growth engine of the world economy this year as well.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Kittens!
Facts about Kittens
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Sandra O
- Hair: Short
Kittens's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Three adorable orange babies - 2 boys and one girl, 9 weeks old ready to be adopted! They have had their first shots, and are already spayed and neutered - the works! Super sweet, playful and adorable. Unusual for a girl to be all orange like this! Apply quickly!
Other Pets at Trenton Cats Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kittens, a West Trenton Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in West Trenton, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in West Trenton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in West Trenton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a West Trenton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in West Trenton paves the way for another one to be saved.

I just planted some 6' Arborvitae 'Smalgard' on the northeast side of my property. They will see about 3 hours of direct sun, the soil has good drainage and is on a slope. How much water do they need per week? Will they require consistent watering through the summer? Will it take all summer for these shrubs to become "established"?
Thanks for the help! |

A) It takes 2-3 years after planting for a tree/shrub to be considered "established", so you will HAVE to water this year, not so assiduously next year, and in long, dry spells the third year. You need to water more frequently in the first few weeks after planting as the roots are still recovering from their planting. B) You need to water for the equivalent of an inch of rain per week, applied in a slow watering, so the water gets to the bottom of the root ball. This can be done by: setting a hose to a slow trickle and leaving it there for long enough (which depends on your soil - sandy needs more, clay needs less but slower)); getting a "tree-watering" soaker hose section to connect to a hose and leaving it for an hour or more; or by drilling small holes in the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket (or 2 buckets), filling them and leaving them at the up-hill side of the tree to empty themselves. I am assuming that you left a "lip/moat" on the downhill side to catch water and direct it to the roots? C) You can only tell how much water is enough by checking the soil - check the root ball for the first few weeks, and then the soil next to the root ball. The weather, the soil you have, all these things affect how long the soil will stay moist. Check by sticking your finger into the soil up to the second knuckle - if the soil is moist at that level, check again the next day. If it is dry, water. A pointed length of dowel will also serve - you just need to check down about 2 inches. D) If you haven't, mulch. Use any good mulch - since it is on a slope, avoid pine bark as it will wash away in heavy rain - it floats. Spread it as widely as you can, at least 3', no deeper than 4", and put no mulch in the inch or so next to the trunk. Do not put any plastic or landscape cloth under the mulch - it inevitably comes to the surface, roots grow into the cloth, and it doesn't deter weeds very well. And check UNDER the mulch when checking for watering needs. |
Thank you very much for the detailed response. I put a soaker hose around the plants, about 2-3" around the trunk. I also added a light layer of leaf mulch around each. I plan on adding some bark mulch on top of that in the next week. |
I tried the soaker hose, but since these shrubs are on an awkward slope, some bushes got more water than others. Plus, there was ALOT of runoff in areas between the bushes where there is no lip to hold in the water. I was thinking of using a hose with a small hole right at the trunk of each bush. Low water pressure. Do I need to tie some fabric over the hole to disperse the stream? Does this sound like it would work? Thanks again |
- Posted by dibbit z7b SC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Apr 15, 08 at 11:48
Shelli, that sound like it would work. Just check to see that all the trees in the line get enough water - it may be that the ones at the end will need larger or smaller (more or fewer) holes than the ones at the beginning of the line, to be sure all of them get enough. I don't know what the needed pressure would be to get to the end of the line - it MAY be that the beginning will need something to disperse the force of the flow, and maybe not. I would have the hole be as far up the hill as possible, since you want to water the entire root ball, and not just the down-hill half. You can get hose for "spot-watering" set-ups - there is a name, but it presently escapes me - that uses light-weight black plastic hose, comes with a punch and emitters, and plugs for wrongly-punched holes. It's easy to set up - can be ordered (Peaceful Valley, Gardener's Supply, FarmTek, etc.) or bought from a good garden/nursery supply place - the big-box stores might have it as well, as a kit. If you aren't using municipal water, or aren't on water restrictions, and if the water isn't doing any harm, you could just let it go. If any of that list apply, then you should deal with it somehow. |

Office Depot picks Boca Raton over Naperville for HQ
BY BILL RUMINSKI | Staff writer December 10, 2013 9:54AM
Updated: December 10, 2013 12:03PM
Office Depot Inc. on Tuesday announced it will keep its global headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., rather than in Naperville.
The company was formed in November by the $1.2 billion merger of Office Depot and Naperville-based OfficeMax.
"Selecting the headquarters location is a critical step toward integrating our two companies," chairman and CEO Roland Smith said in a statement. "Both Florida and Illinois have many positive attributes."
The company said its 625,000-square-foot corporate campus in Boca Raton "has ample space to accommodate associates who will relocate from Illinois."
The company has about 1,600 workers in Illinois and 1,700 in Boca Raton. It did not say how many employees would be relocated.

Wee Care Diaper Service has partnered with several local businesses in the Cleveland and Chattanooga area to open up convenient exchange kiosks where customers can pick up a week's worth of clean cloth diapers for their babies.
The business works with the perspective that some parents like using cloth diapers for their babies but are often deterred because they dislike having to wash them.
The exchange locations are called SwaddleSwap sites. Some are stationary stand-alone units like the ones located at Cooke's Food Store on Keith Street in Cleveland, Pruett's Signal Mountain Market on Taft Highway on Signal Mountain, and Chattanooga's Julie Darling Donuts on Frazier Avenue on the North Shore.
Customers have their baby's weekly supply of cloth diapers safely stowed in a locker for them to grab on their designated day. They can then deposit their baby's dirty cloth diapers for the Wee Care team to remove for cleaning.
"It's been fun to collaborate with local businesses and entities in Cleveland and Chattanooga," Wee Care co-owner Lee Gates said. "It's a win-win. Customers have easy access to cloth diapers at low cost, and the local businesses have return customers at their location every week. We are grateful for the willingness of these host sites to help us make healthy, sustainable diapers easily available to all families."
Gates said Wee Care looks forward to opening new SwaddleSwap Sites in the future.
"We're always looking for ways to make cloth diapering even easier for folks," he said. "And we love supporting local businesses. Wee Care about providing healthy diapering solutions for families, and we believe local businesses make for a healthier community too."
More information about the business can be found at www.weecarediaperservice.com.

I know it's early, but I started my Christmas decorating today. I have to begin early because I have to do my decorating, my aunt's home and my mother's home. If I'm lucky, I might be finished by Christmas Eve! LOL!!
I am seriously cutting back this year on the amount of decorating in my own home. I'm not getting any younger and it gets a little harder each year to put it all up and take it down, especially since I have to do my mother's and aunt's also. What decorations I haven't used by the time I quit, is going out the door. I'll either give them to my sister or my daughter...or someone. Anyway...enough rambling! In the past, I've always hung these pink spire ornaments from garland that I put around the cased opening between my kitchen and dining area. Well, the garland on the opening is one thing that's not going up this year. So, I stuck the ornaments in the trumpet vases on my epergne. My middle daughter took one look at it and said it was the most ridiculous thing she had seen lately. So my question for y'all is...does this look ridiculous? I only had 3 spires, so put them on the three outside vases. The inner vase is taller, so even if I had another spire it wouldn't fit. I ended up putting another pink ornament in the middle. So, what do y'all think?? Ridiculous or does it look ok?? The Goddard print beside the epergne will hopefully be getting a treatment like Lynn did for her Halloween art if I can find a Christmas print I like that will fit over the picture. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's absolutely gorgeous! In fact, I bought some ornaments to do the same thing in my kitchen for some old apothecary bottles I've collected over the years. What makes your's nice is you have a lot of stuff in your grouping. I'm not decorating yet, but I'm in the planning/craft stage. I have the "game" table in the living room opened with all my crafty things on it and I'm moving things off other tables for when I put the decorations up. I'm going shopping this morning and I have pink ornaments on my list for the hutch in my kitchen. |
Looks pretty to me. Enjoy doing your Mom's and your Aunt's homes as well. I think it is wonderful that you do it for them. NanaKaren |
I think this looks lovely...and very elegant. I've seen this done before when I was on a 'Holiday House Tour'. and liked the idea. What a loving gesture to put up your DM's and Aunt's decorations for them. It sounds like tons of extra work...but I'm sure the joy you bring to them by doing this, is well worth it, and something that you'll be glad you did many years from now. jane |
- Posted by christmascandy (My Page) on Sat, Nov 13, 10 at 10:59
I think it is lovely. It is different than what you have done in the past, and change is difficult for a lot of people to deal with, so that is probably what triggered your DD's response. Once she gets used to it, she will appreciate it more. What a lovely gesture that you decorate your Mom and Aunt's homes also, and what a lot of work!! You are sure earning some angel points for that!! TFS, |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Sat, Nov 13, 10 at 15:41
Those trumpet vases look beautiful!...& I think your pink spire ornaments are gorgeous ... What do you usually put in the trumpet vases? I don't know...both are so very beautiful with the pearls, the pine greens & rose plate..maybe try them in a crystal dish of some sort??? in that same area? Surrounded by some angel babies? I love these pics, dream...but I'm not sure of them being in the vases either...I can see what DD is getting at ...cause these must have been quite gorgeous hanging from garland. And I love what I can see of your Goddard print...good luck trying Lynne's solution for Halloween. Jeanne S. |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Sat, Nov 13, 10 at 22:04
Dream, I totally agree with what Jeanne said. Ask DD for ideas and see what she comes up with. My DD has wonderful ideas when I'm lucky enough to share moments like these with her. Punk |
Not at all ridiculous. I really like it a lot. Just beautiful and rich and elegant. Lots of crafty folks here. Guess I better learn something! |
- Posted by dreamgoddess (My Page) on Sun, Nov 14, 10 at 21:28
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I've been working like a busy little beaver the last couple of days. Oakleyok, the apothecary bottles sounds interesting. I can't wait to see how you do this. Did you have any luck in your shopping for pink ornaments? Too bad you don't live closer to me...I probably could have just given you some! Nana, thank you! I'm not exactly sure "enjoy" is the right words when it comes to my Aunt's and Mother's decorating. Slinkey, I've been doing their decorating for several years now. My aunt is 79 years old and not physically able to decorate. My mother is 69 years old and will quickly tell you she can't decorate. Not that she physically can't, but she doesn't think she has "the knack". I guess she doesn't remember that she did all the decorating when I was growing up and from what I remember, it was always beautiful to me. Candy, I know what you mean about change. I honestly don't mind decorating for them and my mother's house is really pretty easy. She only has one 7 ft tree in her living room and a small 4 ft tree in a bedroom. That's basically all she does. My aunt, on the other hand, get a full entire house treatment. I'm starting on her house this Tuesday and my back is already protesting. LOL! Jeanne, thank you! Normally at Christmas I have pink roses covered with glittery faux snow in the epergne vases. Depending on what tablesetting I'm using, I might change them out for white or red roses. The cased opening in between my kitchen and dining area is about 9 ft wide. I always hung lighted garland there and filled it with ornaments hanging down. I thought it was really pretty, but I just simply can't handle all the going up and down ladders to hang stuff anymore. Hmmm...I'm trying to think if I have any angels I could use. Not really sure, but I'll look. Karen, thank you so much for the photos! I adore the chest with the finials in it. That is gorgeous! I always wondered how they kept the finials from falling...never thought of using sticks. Punk, I did ask DD what she thought and if she had any ideas for decorating. The only response I got was "doesn't matter to me, I'm only interested in putting up the big tree". She's 15 years old and when I ask for help with ideas and what she (as well as my 11 year old DD) would like as far as decorating or how they would like it to look...all I get in response is "it doesn't matter or I don't care". Very frustrating! I wish I could get them to say "oh, I think you should do this" or "can we do it this way"...I'd probably pass out from shock! LOL! cbm4style, thank you so much! I do agree, there are some very crafty people here. I've learned so much since I started hanging with these ladies (and a few guys!). |

Even though I don't do a lot of Victorain decorating anymore, it is my absolute favorite. It looks perfectly lovely. Good luck with all those decorating....chores or should I say choices. Frou |

PRESENT: John Jordan-Chair, Roberta LaPlante, Carolyn Boland Selectboard Barbara Caverly-Town Administrator/Recording Secretary OTHERS: Nahida Sherman-Webmaster Jordan called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. LaPlante moved to accept the Minutes of August 2, 2010; seconded by Boland; unanimously approved. LIAISON REPORTS: Planning Board: Boland reported no meeting last week. The balloon test for Industrial Communications proposed cell tower is coming up. Jaquith Road: Jordan reported Jaquith Road was open for the weekend but will be closed Monday and Tuesday, August 9th and 10th. RHINES PROPERTY: Boland moved to accept the deed to the Rhines property; LaPlante seconded; unanimously approved. It was further noted that any legal costs associated with this activity will be paid for by Monadnock Conservancy. WEB OCCURANCE: Caverly noted to the Selectboard there was an occurrence of a copyright photo being copied from the web page to a Facebook page. The whole situation has been resolved. The people were advised that the webpage and pictures thereon and within are copyrighted. Prior to anyone using one in the future, permission must be obtained from the webmaster or photographer. NAHIDA SHERMAN: Sherman was in to alert the Selectboard that she is not taking responsibility for any complaints that may come forth about the Old Home Day web page not being updated with material from the committee. She cited the emails that have transpired back and forth with her requests for them to forward information to her. It was also noted Facebook is not an acceptable media for town committees to be using. Members of the Selectboard also asked that they cease with Facebook and use the official web page. Sherman suggested a procedure be set for any ad hoc committee to follow in the future:
Sherman stated she will be out of touch for web material on August 13th and 14th SELECTBOARD MINUTES AUGUST 9, 2010 PAGE TWO INN IRRIGATION: Caverly reported that the Town had agreed to do some minor repairs to the Inns irrigation system needed as a result of the Main Street Project. It was originally estimated to be under $500. Kurt Grassett recently learned that the company who did the original system will need to do a new design because the curbing is set further back. They are also relocating some heads to avoid wetting the sidewalk while the water is on. The new estimate has come in at $1,500. Grassett asked for the Selectboards direction whether to move forward with the new sum of $1,500 or obtain another quote. The Selectboard would like Grassett to obtain another quote before they make their decision.

By bringing the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, American wants to stop competitors from using those trademarks to trigger their own advertising on Google.
"Without authorization or approval from American Airlines, Google has sold to third parties the 'right' to use the trademarks and service marks of American Airlines or words, phrases, or terms confusingly similar to those marks as 'keyword' triggers that cause paid advertisements, which Google calls 'Sponsored Links' to appear alongside the 'natural results," the lawsuit said.
Google Sued by American Airlines Over Keyword Triggered Ads [computerworld.com]
I don't agree and this is nothing like your example.
It's like Delta bidding on American with an ad that says, Fly Delta - Lower Round Trip Airfare etc.
It's not Delta bidding on Boeing which both American and Delta fly.
I have no problem with bidding on trademarked terms as long as both parties agree. It's a problem usually when it's a direct competitor and not a vendor you both carry.
It's like Delta bidding on American with an ad that says, Fly Delta - Lower Round Trip Airfare etc....
You obviously did not read what the lawsuit was about, or the previous messages.
It is NOT about being able to say 'fly Delta' - it is about the KEYWORD Delta (or any of 165,000 other trademarked terms) being able to be bid on.
This is just stupid. If upheld it will pretty much totally destroy PPC, as almost any word commonly used in most languages is part of some trademark somewhere.
The effect of what you want to do is that since Delta is a keyword that cannot be bid on, I can no longer make up ads for my fraternity - 'Delta Sigma Phi'. And nobody else can use the keywords 'wind' or 'sun' because that is part of our trademarked name. And suppose that AA wins this - does that mean that nobody can also use the keyword phrase 'airlines american'?
I think you should read up on 'the law of unintended consequences' before you start thinking this is a good idea.
[edited by: Wlauzon at 8:36 am (utc) on Aug. 20, 2007]
However AA did not reveal that the sentence immediately prior to that states: "If the advertiser is using the trademark in ad text, we will require the advertiser to remove the trademark and prevent them from using it in ad text in the future."
(previous two paragraphs refers to): [google.com...]
Also, American Airlines said that Google "now allows advertisers to purchase specific trademarks..." To back this up, AA quoted a statement from 2004: "Under our new policy, we no longer disable ads due to selection by our advertisers of trademarks as keyword triggers for the ads"
However, tm_complaint_adwords.html was apparently written in October of 2006. So American Airlines is claiming that the 3-year-old shareholders statement is Google's current policy, while selectively pulling statements out of context from their currently posted policy.
That seems pretty deceptive on the part of American Airlines.
Assuming that tm_complaint_adwords.html reflects the current policy, I think Google will be protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Google has provided a mechanism for AA to prevent their trademarks from being abused: [adwords.google.com...]
On that note, I didn't see where AA even availed themselves of that mechanism. Did AA file a trademark complaint with Google? I didn't see that in the legal filing, although I might have missed it. It's 55 pages long and I didn't read every single line: [claranet.scu.edu...]
American Airlines *has* to file a lawsuit to protect their trademark if it appears others are infringing, even if they know they will lose going in.
If they do not 'go the extra mile' they will lose their trademark as it becomes 'common'. It's the same reason Xerox and other 'house hold names' file suits for misuse of their marks. They have to.
Check out some trademark law before thinking American Airlines is silly.
They would not grant "spring water" trademark to water bottling company or "golf balls" to golf balls maker due to fact of the generic and common use of these particular phrases. However, sometimes they drop the ball.
I can understand protection of "cheaptickets.com" but protection for generic, common use separated two word phrase "cheap tickets" is questionable.
The hilarious thing is that I found only one trademark for "American Airlines" at Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) and it is dead at this moment (cancelled in 2006). It could be glitch but it is funny anyhow.
According to their lawsuit, they have trademarked: American Airlines (1949) American Eagle (1986) AA (1949) A A (as a logo) (1995) AA.COM (2000) American Airlines Center (2001) AAdvantage (1998) American Connection (1998) AmericanAirlines (1994)
they did somehow see fit to grant trademarks for a "Windows"-based operating system as well as a "Word" processor that is part of a suite of "Office" software...
Not today, but to an innovator, yes they would, and with good reason. See the above examples from phranque for some ideas of what is trademarkable...
You are comparing apples to oranges, which you could not trademark (apples / oranges) in the fruit industry, but could in computers.
A business in the banking and loan industry could use 'Windows' without infringement of Microsoft's TM, because it is in an unrelated business, and 'Windows' (Banking and Loan) could not be confused with 'Windows' (Computer Operating System). The two are non-competitive.
It is up to the trademark holder to make a concerted effort to protect the mark if there is an infringement, so the mark does not become common usage. If they do not, they will lose the rights to the mark.
To use the Xerox example again, it's why they *must* ask those who say, 'Will you Xerox me one of those', to restate the sentence with the generic word 'copy'. If they do not they will lose the rights to the mark.
This is exactly my point "American Airlines" is generic, descriptive, common use phrase relating to all airlines based in United States of America and as such, it should not qualify for trademark protection in category of goods and services which includes air transportation, airlines and so on. We also know that AA did not create or discover or was first airline in America.
Every airline based in USA should be able to advertise itself as an "American airlines" if they like to do so, especially in the overseas advertising. The airline link lists called "German airlines", "Mexican airlines", "British airlines", or "American airlines" are answer to commonly used query keywords.
Many non-USA searchers looking for "American airlines" never heard about AA but want to see the list of all America based airlines.
On the other hand, I think G is working hard to resolve trademarks-keywords-ads mess as they did in search results. These days when you type-in exact wording of the trademark most likely you find it in the top position of first page results regardless of page rank algo.
Today... 50+ years ago was a different story.
I can understand your point, but at the time, people would have been much more likely to advertise overseas, or here in the sates with something to the effect of 'Delta, an American airline'. Should the trademark still be protected with the change in global advertising, wording, and the addition of search engines?
My guess is the trademark will be upheld as long as it was properly granted and American Airlines exhibits a concerted, ongoing effort to protect it.
Again, today you are correct, but there are some fairly big changes which have taken place in the last 50 years. Using the same logic, American National Bank could be on shaky ground as a search engine user might search for American, National Bank.
It might be a loose example, but I'm sure we could find others, where at the time the mark was granted it was granted with good cause, but would not be granted today.
Maybe we'll see some trademarks lost by major entities in the near future due to the advent of search and changes in commonly used language / words?
Interesting either way.
Just my .02c
<added> Not sure if you're an attorney, but I'm not... I'm sure there are some real ones who will be (are) having a good, meaningful debate over this or similar mark issues. </added>
I'm fairly sure they can in some form overseas, because unless through treaties, etc. foreign laws uphold US marks without review, a US based company would have to apply for and be granted a trademark from the country it is trying to restrict usage in.
My guess is even though another airline might not be able to advertise as an 'American airline' in the US (why would they need to?) they probably can outside the US.
Edited: Semantics.
I'm not sure that is accurate since they don't seem to care about trademark violations on ads they run themselves.
The phrase "internet explorer" is trademarked yet doing a search in Google brings up Google in the number 1 ad spot with the title having "internet explorer" in it. IE7 does the same thing.
Google is making far more money than any lawsuit could burn through so why do the right thing and be proactive to help protect the use of someone elses trademark?

So do you fly blind into a franchise investment and simply hope for the best? Hardly. Information is available, but you need to do some work to find it.
The UFOC is your starting place. Item 20 provides you with the names and contact information of both existing franchisees and franchisees who have left the system in the past year. These are the folks in the trenches who can tell you how much they're making, whether the franchise system has been a good investment for them and whether they would make the investment today, knowing what they know now about the company. Former franchisees can give you insight as to why they left the system and whether they made a return on their investment. Call them. While they're not obligated to answer your questions or might be too busy running their business to spend any length of time with you, they have the most direct and relevant information available.
The UFOC has other "hidden" resources that, when combined with other research, can provide you with insight to profitability. Look at the company's audited financial information, for instance, and the accompanying notes for information on company-owned unit performance. Check out Items 5 and 6 (the sections that discuss fees) to see whether the fees are based on a particular performance formula. Review Item 7 (the initial investment)-especially the notes. Those notes often describe the size and type of locations required (which can give you an idea of how much rent you'll be paying), discuss staff sizes and organizational structure (which helps you estimate staff costs), and reveal how the company has determined working capital requirements. Item 7 may also cover inventory and inventory turns. When you couple this with the disclosures in Item 8 about required purchases, you'll begin to develop a fairly strong cost-of-goods model. A franchise consultant or accountant can guide you to a lot of information about the potential rewards or risks of a particular franchise opportunity via the data in its UFOC.

Our Wansfell Pike walk with Walks Around Britain is nearly ready!
You can see a preview of the walk here.
Andrew from Walks around Britain came to stay with us at Otter Lodge at the end of March, and we did the walk on a lovely sunny but hazy day
The finished video will be going live in a very prestigious and exclusive location by the end of next week – we'll let you know where once it's up there
Tripadvisor Reviews – What a difference a year makes :-)
Sometimes it's hard not to take some things personally in this job! (Cue violins)
Those of you who have stayed with us will know how much of our heart and soul we put into making the lodges as welcoming as possible, so I was actually quite hurt to read a comment from a previous guest on Trip Advisor on the Limefitt Park listing saying
"last year we stayed in otter lodge which was ok it had stunning views but the lodge on reflection was very dated with tiny bedrooms and much dearer than our recent stay in a brand new lodge."
You can probably imagine why that comment from "Simplysu" from Yorkshire didn't exactly fill us with joy.
Now everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everybody appreciates the beauty of a cosy traditional pine lodge with reclining leather sofas and marshmallow comfortable mattresses, but writing a comment like that on Trip Advisor does seem a bit unnecessary to me!
To be fair to SimplySu (We do know exactly who she is but we'll let her preserve her anonymity here) , for the break she stayed, there was £40 (about 9%) in it, but then we don't charge for dogs, we do include free leisure club passes, and we give 10% repeat bookers' discount compared to the 5% offered by the agency who let the lodge she booked this year.
The published prices for a week in June would have been EXACTLY the same in both lodges (£629) for up to 4 guests with one dog. If you brought 2 dogs we would have been £10 cheaper!
Of course we are not cheaper than every other lodge for every possible stay or combination of circumstances but then we don't use their prices to set ours and we don't set out to be the cheapest either. We just concentrate on giving as much value for money as we can for what we believe are very competitive rates in our market.
Strangely enough SimplySu went to the trouble of setting up a new listing for Otter Lodge on Tripadvisor last year and left a glowing review of her stay but Trip Advisor deleted it as we are not allowed to have our own reviews unless we pay for an advert on the rather useless holidaylettings. co. uk site . I don't think many people realise that this is the case with all self catering establishments but there we are.
So given Susan's comments about Otter Lodge I thought I'd better check the visitors' book to check what they said about their stay with us at the time. This is what I found:
"We have had a fantastic week. We booked this as a surprise for my father-in-law's 70th birthday and it's a birthday we will never forget. It has been fantastic. Amazing views and a lovely lodge that catered for all. We hope to revisit sometime in the future… Thanks for an amazing holiday Alan, Alan, Susan and Lady (Ripon N/Yorkshire)"
It is hard to believe that the two sets of comments refer to the same holiday at the same lodge isn't it?
I think that sometimes people get carried away with Trip Advisor and they don't stop to think of the impact that their words can have on the feelings and indeed on the businesses of the people they casually and perhaps thoughtlessly leave comments about.
Trip Advisor themselves are worse than useless. I have pointed out to them that they are publishing a review which contains unreasonably derogatory remarks and that the review contravenes their own published guidelines as the guest is effectively reviewing our property in spite of not having stayed there in the 12 months prior to the publication of the review. So far they have just told me to reply to the review using the management response feature, which s not really good enough. Apparently they are too short staffed to deal with the multiple problems they get each day in a timely way. The poor girl I spoke to told me that she spends her working day fielding calls from upset owners like me. What a way to earn a living!
Linda tells me I shouldn't take it so personally but it's hard not to when it's something so close to home. At least we have all the lovely messages you send us and the notes you leave in all four of our visitors' books to cheer us up.
As a footnote, we were touched when another of our guests who read that review immediately left a lovely review of Otter Lodge entitled "Fantastic value for money holiday". Thanks for that Rachel That made me feel a lot better!
Did you ever wonder how the Windermere Lodges web pages get to you?
This is a really interesting explanation about how your computer asks for and finally receives web content.
As we rely on the web for 99% of our marketing I found it fascinating.
Now can somebody tell me what Google REALLY want me to do after their Penguin algorithm update?
Nature at Limefitt Park
It's a rare day when you take a walk from one of the lodges and don't see something interesting.
Yesterday I saw two crows mobbing a buzzard – that's actually quite a common sight, but I didn't have my camera with me – next time maybe?
This morning whist walking our dog I spotted this deer in the trees. We both stopped and we stared at each other for a good two minutes before he decided to move away deeper into the trees.
Did William Wordsworth ever climb Wansfell Pike?
I wonder where Wordsworth was standing when he wrote these lines from Book 4 of The Prelude under the title "Summer Vacation"
Bright was the summer's noon when quickening steps
Followed each other till a dreary moor
Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top
Standing alone, as from a rampart's edge,
I overlooked the bed of Windermere,
Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.
With exultation, at my feet I saw
Lake, islands, promontories, gleaming bays,
A universe of Nature's fairest forms
Proudly revealed with instantaneous burst,
Magnificent, and beautiful, and gay.
It could easily have been Wansfell Pike, the peak of which is just an hour's walk from our Lake District lodges.
The Water Temperature on Windermere
If you are thinking of using Windermere for water sports it's as well to now that it gets pretty cold during the winter (which is perhaps how the rare Arctic char survive – they are fish not Icelandic cleaning ladies) and it doesn't get too again warm until June. According to http://www.ilec.or.jp/database/eur/eur-11.html the temperatures at the surface of Windermere are like this :
Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec | |
Temperature C | 4.8 | 3.9 | 4.8 | 7.2 | 11.1 | 15.8 | 17.4 | 17.3 | 15.1 | 11.8 | 8.4 | 6.2 |
June would seem to be a good time to start contemplating that first dip. Tom will confirm that the end of April was NOT a great time to try wake boarding for the first time this year . He has just about warmed up again now though
A Troutbeck Treasure Trail
We have been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the new Troutbeck Treasure Trail from Treasure Trails Cumbria. We haven't had a chance to follow it yet but it looks really great and we know you'll enjoy it. It's really a fantastic way to get the kids out and enjoying a walk, and you can do this on foot from our Lake District lodges in Limefitt Park which is just below the pretty village of Troutbeck.
We are going to road test it shortly and we'll report back when we have done, but in the meantime great work by it's author Sean Etherden – you can find Sean on Twitter at @TTrailsCumbria
Lake District lodges and cottages mean great value holidays
A lot of our guests choose to holiday by booking a lodge direct with us as private owners because of the combination of value and flexibility that you get by booking a private lodge rather than spending a week in a hotel or in a resort like Centerparcs.
Booking a lodge or cottage means that you have the use of a proper holiday home rather than just having the use of a single room like you would in a hotel. You get separate bedrooms (two in each of our log cabins), a lounge and a kitchen and in our larger lodges you get en-suite showers as well as the main bathrooms, so you can enjoy what so many of our guests describe as a "home from home" feeling. Your family can spread out and relax just like they would do at home.
You can also bring your dogs as our lodges are all pet-friendly and we don't charge any extra for that, unlike most of the major lodge resorts who could charge you up to £80 a week to bring 2 dogs!
Perhaps the best thing about a lodge holiday though is the value for money. Book with us in low season and you could bring 4 people for as little as £15 per person per night with your dogs staying free. That compares pretty well with any hotel or B&B and with fully equipped kitchens and bbqs in the garden you can also make great value meals too. Of course we also have some great dog-friendly pubs within walking distance if you feel like splashing out.
You can get a lot of the benefits of a lodge holiday staying in a cottage too, but when you choose on of our lodges you also get to stay in the beautiful (and unique) surroundings of Limefitt Park, nestling on the fells in the breath-taking scenery of the Troutbeck Valley. With a Lakeland stone, dog-friendly pub on site along with a shop and plenty of facilities for your kids like the adventure play park and the riverpool it's the perfect combination for a family getaway.
Staying away in the Lake District can be great value if you choose an option that combines space, comfort and affordability like taking a break in our log cabins at Limefitt Park.
Come and give it a try!
50 things to do in the Lake District before you are 11 3/4
We love the National Trust's idea of listing "50 things to do before you are 11 3/4″ so we decide to take the list and help you to work out how to adapt it to the area around our lodges.
We have created a new website page that lists all 50 activities and gives you some ideas of where and how you can do them if you are staying at one of our lodges.
Keeping kids entertained can be a challenge at times so we hope you will find it helpful.
You can find the list of 50 Things To Do In the Lake District Before You Are 11 3/4 here .
If you've been fell-walking in the recent weather you may recognise this feeling!
All day I have climb'd by slate and ling
Now by the low beck's murmuring
I walk in humble quietude;
Till I turn and see the mountain's brood,
Long backs, wild manes, against the sky,
And their steaming flanks; and I triumph, 'I
Have laid on your sides my pride's fierce rods:
I have tamed and bitted you, steeds of the gods.'Untitled poem by Edmund Casson
(Edmund Casson was an early 20th Century English poet)
Isn't that a brilliant description of the exhilaration you get from a wild weather walk on a fell top? I love that image of the hills as wild horses to be tamed.

What is AVGRSX exe?
AVGRSX exe or AVGRSX.exe is an executable file that comes with the AVG 8.0 Free Edition antivirus program. If you have downloaded or installed this program on your computer then you might have encountered AVGRSX exe. AVGRSX exe is also known as the Residential Shield component of the antivirus program. AVGRSX exe comes in relation to AVG Internet Security and this program is owned by AVG Technologies CZ.
Programs like this can be automatically or manually run. Installing an antivirus program like the AVG antivirus program on your computer is a must. This will protect your computer from malicious elements and helps you locate and remove viruses and other programs that can harm your computer.
What are problems encountered using AVGRSX exe?
The most common problem involving AVGRSX exe is its intense and excessive CPU usage. This can be due to viruses that have invaded your PC. Viruses can manipulate and alter your computer settings. Moreover, it can invade your private settings and allow more viruses to infect your computer.
This will cause your computer to run slow and perform inefficiently. It can hang up for more than five minutes and can even cause your computer to restart on its own. Because of these problems, there is a need to disable and fix AVGRSX exe on your PC. You should also run an antivirus program on your PC and scan for viruses or any other malicious contents.
How do you disable AVGRSX exe?
You can disable AVGRSX exe using these tips. First, open 'Tools' and then choose 'Advanced Setting'. You should modify your settings at this point. Choose Appearance and clear the 'Display system tray notification' to get rid of the AVG icon. After that, choose 'Linkscanner' and deselect all checkboxes under it. Make sure all of them are clear.
Choose 'Scan' then deselect all checkboxes expect for 'Automatically heal/remove infection unchecked'. On the left panel, click 'Schedules' then deselect all option. Choose 'Resident Shield' then clear 'Enable Resident Shield'. After doing these processes, restart your PC and simply disregard all warnings. After that, run your AVG to check for viruses.
Scan your computer for any spyware. Spyware is actually a fake antivirus system and can cause harm and damage to your computer. It is always beneficial to have an authentic and trusted antivirus program. When your AVG is experiencing error, it could be caused by spyware. You should then be able to disable AVGRSX exe on your computer system.
If you don't want to uninstall AVG antivirus system on your computer but wants to decrease CPU usage, you can also use these methods. First, you can disable Resident Shield. Disabling this can also disable AVGRSX exe and can thus improve your PC performance. Set the AVG antivirus system wherein it won't automatically run during start up. This will help reduce CPU usage.
You can use these steps to disable AVGRSX exe on your computer. It can be useful in scanning your computer for viruses. However, you can enable it only when there is a need to scan your computer so that it won't take excessive CPU usage. Disable AVGRSX exe when not in use.
