Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2016
Photograph of the view across the Great Park, Windsor, with the Castle on the horizon. A carriage stands on the left and a couple on the right. This view looks across the Great Park towards Windsor Castle in the distance. This area of the park was (and still is) home to a herd of deer and was open to the public all year round. Fenton shows the castle to great effect in its surroundings, presenting the expansive horizon hazy from the summer heat.

Baking With EFF: (Not) Derby Pie, the Trademarked Treat
One of our most recent additions to the Takedown Hall of Shame is Kern's Kitchen, the company behind the "most litigious dessert in America." It owns a trademark on the term Derby Pie, which is the name of a popular Southern confection made with chocolate, pecans, and lots of sugar. Anybody's allowed to make it—and there are plenty of variations online and in cookbooks—but if you call it Derby Pie, you might find yourself on the receiving end of a legal threat from Kern's Kitchen.
Earlier this year, the company threatened Wordpress.com for hosting individual websites that distributed recipes under the forbidden name. In order to avoid a trademark lawsuit, Wordpress advised those bloggers change the name of the recipe to something more descriptive.
On a special episode of our cooking program "EFF's Kitchen," we bake our own for a special trademark taste test.
Delicious. You can make your own Mean-Spirited Censorship Pie by using the recipe from this threatened blogger.

If you haven't heard of Hawken before, you just might watch to check out a gamplay trailer -- the game is beautiful in motion. When this indie's first trailer landed, it came from left field and left everyone who had watched it in awe of its style and design. It's a first person multiplayer mech combat game done right, with grit and motion blur and neon light on dull metal. Just for E3, Hawken has a new live-action trailer that's sure to get fans excited.
The trailer, by Gears of War's creative director Jeremiah O'Flaherty, is a mixture of live-action, CG, and in-game footage. It's a teaser for a series of digital shorts to help build a wider universe around the Hawken game. After all, it's going to be free-to-play with microtransactions, and an expanded universe is a hard thing to deliver without a single-player campaign.
We have faith in Hawken and its developers Adhesive Games to deliver. The game is being published by independent publisher Meteor entertainment, who recently received $10 million from Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital -- original funders of League of Legends -- just to get Hawken out the door. You can register for the game's beta, or excitedly await full release on 12.12.12.
Hawken will be available for play at E3 this week, and you can see the game in motion on Twitch.tv's E3 stream each E3 day at 3PM PST. Expect some Neoseeker impressions soon as well.

DRINK: It's going to be a long week of beards, bikes and beer at both Pedalpalooza and Beer Week. Start slow, clean and crisp with Masters of Lager at Imperial Bottle Shop & Taproom (3090 SE Division St., 971-302-6899, imperialbottleshop.com). Look for Heater Allen's Helles Bock and Full Sail's Vienna lager alongside offerings from Upright, the Commons and Breakside. 6 pm. Free admission, buy beer.
RIDE: From Imperial, you can roll right down Division to the Independent Publishing Resource Center (1001 SE Division St., portlandzinesymposium.org), which is hosting a bike-in movie. They'll be showing BMX Bandits—which is sorta like Tootie Fruities cereal to the Froot Loops of Hal Needham's classic Rad. Reagan-era attire is encouraged. 7 pm. Free admission, bring cash for refreshments.
RIDE: Get an early start on a busy weekend with the Burnt Bridge ride, which leaves from the Cascades MAX Station at 1 pm and follows the 8.5-mile Burnt Bridge Creek Trail in Vancouver and the Marine Drive path to make a 30.5-mile loop over both Columbia River bridges.
DRINK: After a long, early ride you'll want to get the nearest pizza and beer, which is at East Glisan Pizza Lounge (8001 NE Glisan St., 971-279-4273, eastglisan.com). Springfield's Hop Valley Brewing takes over the taps, with happy-hour prices between 4 and 6 pm.
DRINK: The marquee event of Portland beer week, the Portland Fruit Beer Festival (portlandfruitbeerfest.com) begins at 11 am at Burnside Brewing (701 E Burnside St., 946-8151, burnsidebrewco.com). Get warm and toasty with a few glasses of Elysian D'Mango Unchained and the Commons Citrus Royale, because it's almost time to peel your clothes off. Admission is $20.
RIDE: The biggest event of Pedalpalooza, the World Naked Bike Ride, isn't totally naked—helmets and shoes are strongly encouraged—but it's otherwise everything you'd expect and more. People begin gathering at Normandale Park (Northeast 55th Avenue and Wasco Street) at 8 pm. Ride starts at 9 pm.
RIDE: The Zoobomb Century combines two of the more extreme styles of group rides into a single "death ride" (their words!) down the West Hills. Then back up. Then down again. Until you've ridden 100 miles on a 16-inch kid's bike. Take the MAX to Washington Park, and go right until you get to the logs. Ride starts at 10 am.
DRINK: If you actually rode 100 miles on a 16-inch bike, you deserve to go all out with one of the day's two big brewers' dinners on the west side. Pfriem, makers of our Beer of the Year, will be at Irving Street Kitchen (701 NW 13th Ave., 343-9440, irvingstreetkitchen.com) pouring alongside four courses and canapes (5:30 pm. $85 including gratuity). Down at Raven & Rose (1331 SW Broadway, 222-7673, ravenandrosepdx.com), five brews from Samuel Smith will be paired with British foods like Yorkshire pudding and roasted meats (6:30 pm. $60).
RIDE: As the weekend warriors put their clothes back on and recover from fruit beer-induced hangovers, hardcore bikers will gather to discuss stoplights on the 12-mile Traffic Signal Wonkery ride. Meet under the Portlandia statue (1120 SW 5th Ave.) at 5:30 pm and prepare to be awestruck by "some of the city's best intersections."
DRINK: The geekout continues as the New School beer blog brings together 10 of Oregon's newest breweries (Chetco, Buoy, Baerlic, Plank Town, Sam Bond's Garage, Thunder Island and more) for a tasting at Bailey's Taproom (213 SW Broadway, 295-1004). Starts at 2 pm.
RIDE: Put on your Get Up Kids T-shirt and head over to Colonel Summers Park (Southeast 20th Avenue and Belmont Street) for an Emo Ride full of salt, sweat and sugar on the asphalt. Starts at 6:30 pm.
DRINK: After the ride, head east on Belmont (and then north to Stark, because Belmont Station isn't on Belmont) for Infusions Illusions, where San Diego's Monkey Paw Brewing makes its Portland debut with the help of a Randall, an "organoleptic hop transducer module" that infuses extra flavor into tap beer. Belmont Station, 4500 SE Stark St., 232-8538, belmont-station.com. Starts at 5 pm.

Me First! ETF Sponsors seek ways to jump to the front of the line
A traffic jam of companies are awaiting green lights from regulators to enter the exchange-traded-fund business. And some are taking creative routes to cut through the gridlock.
While ETFs have been around for years, the market remains hot enough that lots of companies are still waiting to get in on the action. But receiving approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission to offer a new type of ETF - or to offer ETFs for the first time - can take months or even years.
One shortcut is to manage a portfolio for a company that already has approval. Or, a more aggressive (and costly) move: Buy the company that has gotten the go-ahead.
That's what has happened in the embryonic market for actively managed ETFs. In January, Russell Investments, which already has clearance for index-tracking ETFs, acquired US One, which last year launched One Fund, an actively managed allocation fund investing in other ETFs. Russell at the time was waiting for SEC approval to start an actively managed fund.
Greg Friedman, global head of Russell's ETF unit, said: "US One had an asset to build a family around."
Since acquiring US One, Russell has made the iShares Russell 1000 Index fund the largest holding in what it now calls Russell Equity and has increased the funds in the ETF to nine from five.
Similarly, in April, Columbia Management, a unit of Ameriprise Financial, bought Grail Advisors, which was running five small actively managed ETFs. Columbia rebranded those and replaced their outside portfolio managers with its own managers - pulling off the fund-management equivalent of taking a company public by merging with a shell company.
Bond manager DoubleLine Capital learned the risks involved in seeking to manage ETF money without building one's own ETFs. DoubleLine was set to manage a portfolio in the Grail lineup when it was left at the altar by the Columbia purchase. DoubleLine is again eyeing partners and expects to join the ETF fray as a subadviser in 2012, says DoubleLine Funds President Ron Redell.
A possible partner for DoubleLine and others is emerging in Exchange Traded Concepts, an advisory company in Oklahoma City that formerly operated as FaithShares Advisors. The firm, set to close its last FaithShares ETF this month, chose to become an ETF platform for other advisers rather than sell its SEC approval.
Market watchers say other small ETF players that could be takeover candidates include ETF Securities Group, which offers commodity-based ETFs, and WisdomTree Investments, best known for currency funds. ETF Securities is said to be considering an initial public offering, sometimes an invitation to prospective buyers.
WisdomTree, which last month listed on Nasdaq, is largely insider-owned. But a spokesperson says it "is not blind to the fact that it may be viewed as an attractive acquisition target."

Another April Snow Storm Targeting the Duluth / Superior Area and Northland to Start Next Week
If you haven't had enough of the late-season snow, there is another round heading toward the Twin Ports and Northland for the end of the weekend.
If you haven't had enough of the late-season snow, there is another round heading toward the Twin Ports and Northland for the end of the weekend.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for the Twin Ports region, and has been extended until 5 pm today (Friday) for falling snow and blowing/drifting snow.
Snow is expected to continue to fall through the afternoon and evening, offering 1-4 additional inches of snow in the Twin Ports and on top of what we already have on the ground. So, how much snow has fallen around the Duluth / Superior region?
With temperatures flirting with 50 then dropping below freezing, this spring has certainly been a weather roller coaster. In another one of the low points of the season, the Twin Ports is the target of a winter storm that is expected to bring several inches of snow this weekend.
While the worst of the first major snow storm of March 2013 will miss the Twin Ports region, we will still see plenty of snow and wind that could make driving messy Monday night and Tuesday morning...
When the snow arrived midday today, it came in full force. Heavy snowfall and strong wind made things messy, leading to area police departments issuing statements urging people to stay off the roads. Things were so bad, departments were actually pulling some squads off the roads.
As the previously-issued winter storm watch mentioned, a significant snowstorm will be hitting a large portion of Minnesota and Wisconsin through the second half of the weekend and into Monday.
As the weather forecast for this weekend becomes clearer, it is becoming more evident that the Twin Ports and folks along the North and South Shores can expect several inches of snow in what could be our first major snow event of this season.
The snow has already started in the greater Duluth / Superior area, and plenty more is expected as a system moves through and leads to lake effect snow tomorrow.
The frigidly cold arctic air the Twin Ports experienced this week is on its way out; and with the transition to warmer temperatures, significant snow is following.
As we await the predicted snow storm, the City of Duluth prepares. Here is what the City is asking the residents to consider via a press release:

Apple iPad, Day 26: Adding It All Up
30 Days With the iPad: Day 26
Throughout the course of the 30 Days With the iPad project, I have purchased or recommended a variety of peripherals and apps to help the Apple tablet fulfill its duties as a PC replacement. Let's take a look back, and figure out what the overall price tag might look.
First, we have the iPad itself. As I covered on Day 2, when you consider the different storage capacities, Wi-Fi only vs. 3G, and AT&T vs. Verizon there are actually quite a few options for a device that really only comes in one flavor. The iPad requires an investment between $500 and $830 depending on what you choose.
I am using my iPhone 4 as a Wi-Fi hotspot if I need connectivity on the go. I already had the iPhone 4 anyway, so that cost doesn't count. Besides, the additional $20 a month for the privilege of sharing the 3G connection is an expense I would already have and use for connecting my notebook when there is no Wi-Fi connection as well.
For now, I am using a 64GB Wi-Fi only iPad, so my price tag is $700.
Cumulative Price Tag: $700
Many apps are provided for free, but require an investment in the backend service in order for it to have any purpose. For example, the Netflix app is useless without a Netflix subscription, and the Fuze Meeting app won't do you much good without some sort of Fuze Meeting account. Box.net and Remember the Milk (RTM) are free apps, and have free services, but you might spend additional money for more advanced plans.
I am not going to include those backend costs here because I am assuming that I would still use those services and have those costs regardless of my use of the iPad. I won't bother listing or tallying apps that I ended up not keeping or recommending. I also won't bother listing out the money I spent on games (it was a lot!).
But, I still spent a fair amount of money on apps over the past few weeks. Let's add that up:
• Pages - $10
• Numbers - $10
• Keynote - $10
• Files Connect - $5
• PhotoGene - $3
• LogMeIn Ignition - $30
• VIPOrbit - $10
• MyPad+ - $1
Cumulative Price Tag: $779
I don't want the glass touchscreen getting scratched or cracked while the iPad is sitting around, or while it is in transit, so it needs some sort of case or cover. I started out with the Apple SmartCover. The SmartCover comes in two versions (and a variety of colors)--there is the synthetic cover for $40, and the leather cover for $70.
I had the leather cover, but I returned it on Day 11 when I decided to go with the Logitech Keyboard Case to meet my typing needs when using the iPad 2 on the go. For $100 the Logitech Keyboard Case serves double-duty protecting the glass front of the iPad 2, and providing an adequate Bluetooth physical keyboard.
Cumulative Price Tag: $879
Depending on the printer you have, you might need to invest in an upgrade in order to print from the iPad. Whether you use the AirPrint functionality native to iOS, or a vendor-supplied app, connecting the iPad to a printer wirelessly requires compatible printer hardware. I got lucky because my Epson Artisan 710 is supported by the free Epson iPrint app, so no additional cost for me here.
When it came to setting up my iPad as a desktop workstation, though, I incurred some additional expenses. I won't count things like my monitor or speakers because I already owned those peripherals. But, I needed the $40 Apple Digital AV Adapter to connect my iPad to the HDMI connection on the monitor, and I invested another $70 for a full-size wireless keyboard.
Cumulative Price Tag: $989
So, when all is said and done, I spent roughly $1000 to make my iPad experience as close to my Windows 7 notebook experience as possible. Obviously, your mileage will vary depending on the apps and peripherals you end up needing.
If you are truly going sans PC, the $30 for the LogMeIn Ignition app is unnecessary. But, if you don't have a compatible printer you could end up spending another $200 or $300. You could choose a different model iPad 2, a different case or keyboard, etc. For me, it tallies to just under $1000.
For comparison sake, the new 11" MacBook Air--with a physical keyboard, slightly larger display, USB and Thunderbolt ports, Intel Corei5 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB SSD storage--is also $1000. The Dell XPS 15z--with a more powerful Intel Core i5 processor, 6GB of RAM, a 500GB drive, USB and HDMI ports, and a DVD/RW drive is also $1000.
While the iPad itself starts at a reasonable $500, turning it into a platform capable of replacing a PC quickly adds up. The iPad does still bring some unique advantages into the mix, but when you look at the total investment required it is much more difficult to make a case for switching from a PC to an iPad.

"For world peace to be achieved, East Asia will take the lead." - Du HongYi, 2004.
East Asia is one of the world's fastest growing and most developed regions, however, it's also one of the biggest "potential" powder kegs. In order to prevent furthur violent conflicts in Asia, it's essential to create our own peace-keeping body like NATO in Europe. To make this mechanism legit and influencial, two major Asian powers must be included, and most important of all, they must learn how to work with each other. These two nations are China and Japan. The relationship between the dragon and the tiger is very interesting and dramatic. Japan is one of China's biggest trading partners, and China is Japan's biggest market. Both sides share similar values, languages, cultures...etc. But if you think they're close as husband and wife, you are wrong. The animosity lie between China and Japan is one major factor that makes East Asia unstable. Why hate each other you might wonder? I can tell you, events during World War II were sad and disturbing, but they're certainly not why Chinese don't feel friendly toward their neighbor. It is the Japanese extreme right-wingers' cover-up of Japan's warcrimes that makes Chinese sick. I, as a Chinese, believe Japanese people are too, victims of the government propaganda. Comparing with the entire Japanese population, extreme right-wing is considered a minority. However, it is this minority that somehow gets its way to keep haunting the great Japanese people, and instigating hatred between Japanese and Chinese.
History can be a painful memory for both peoples, but once we know how to face it and solve it, benefits will be brought down to both countries. And by that time, an efficient and influencial East Asian peacekeeping mechanism can be achieved ( now i'm finally getting to the topic). By establishing the Beijing-Tokyo axis, not only Chinese, but Japanese will also be able to take advantages of it. First, Japan no longer has to worry about an 'aggressive' China. These two most well-developed countries do not have to worry about having to compete with each other in a negative sense ( i.e. arm race...etc.). They don't need to be concerned about getting backstabbed. Moreover, China and Japan can generously provide each other certain helps ( technological, financial, diplomatic...). In addition, North Korea will be merely a piece of you-know-what when China and Japan work together and put pressure on Kim. The Beijing-Tokyo Axis will certainly eliminate the paranoia of "China and NK" threat to Japan, the presence of USA troops in Japan and SK proves to be useless. Japanese people can ask USA troops to leave without worrying anything, thus reduce the American political/economic influence in Asia. From a diplomatic point of view, China is a permanent member of UN security council, Japan is a worldwidely recognized power. Together they can have more say in international affairs and make the highest profit possible to both countries. Considering the success of ethnic Chinese throughout South East Asia ,China's rising economy, and the good relationship between China and ASEAN ( from which China can easily acquire natural resources for industrial use), the 21st century trend will be more "pro-China". Japan will definately be benefited by working together with this massive partner.
- just my opinion. Don't need to take me seriously.

Harrison solidifies OVAC tourney spot
RICHMOND – A fast start keyed Harrison Central's 58-41 victory Wednesday at Edison.
The Huskies outscored the Wildcats 14-2 in the first quarter and 27-11 over the first 16 minutes of the game before cruising to the 17-point win.
"It was big," said Harrison Central head coach Justin Clifford of this team's early run. "We traditionally haven't played well here. We got beat here last year so we came out ready to play."
After tying the score at two just under two minutes into the game, the hosts went without scoring until about a minute into the second quarter when a Ryan Kramarich bucket made the score 15-4.
"First quarter we came out sluggish," said Edison head coach Nate Moses. "We came out real sluggish. We came out and scored two in the first and were down 14-2 after one.
"You score two points in the first quarter, I'd say that's a sluggish start."
Kramarich led the Wildcats with a 10-point performance.
"Ryan's one of our three seniors," said Moses. "He played well tonight. He had 10 points. We don't look to him for a lot of scoring most nights, but he scored for us tonight. It was nice to see."
Fletcher Watt and Rashaen Mitchell spurred the Huskies first half dominance as they combined for all 14 Harrison Central points in the opening stanza, and scored 22 of 27 points for the half.
The dynamic duo shared top honors for the Huskies with 19 points each.
The second half saw the Wildcats have more success on the offensive end, being outscored just 31-30 over the final 16 minutes.
"We tried to sub some guys in there early and it didn't work out well for us, but they've got to get their feet wet sometime," said Clifford. "Those other guys stepped up. We didn't shoot real well in the second half, but give them credit, they played hard all the way to the horn.
"We've been trying to do it all year. There's going to be a time and a point where we may get in some foul trouble or something like that. We're trying to get some guys ready, and we'll see."
Nick Pelegreen joined Watt and Mitchell in double-digits with 13 points. He scored 11 of those in the second half.
Austin Hyndman and Dylan Jones each added nine points for the Wildcats.
HARRISON CENTRAL (58) – K. Mitchell 1 1-2 3, Kowalski 1 0-0 2, Yoho 0 1-2 1, B.

According to Bercy Supercross rider representative Eric Peronnard, Ricky Carmichael has agreed to ride the Paris-Bercy Supercross in France this coming November. Peronnard is the liaison between the riders and the organizers for the long-standing event, and called Cycle News to tell us that the 15-time AMA Champion has inked a deal that will see him race his factory Suzuki in the Paris classic.
This will be the 25th year for the Bercy race, which for the past five years has showcased riders on 250F bikes, however, for 2007, the format has changed to an open format, allowing riders to compete on any size bike.
Last year, Frenchman Christophe Pourcel won the title of "King of Bercy" and his teammates claimed the coveted team title. So, it will be interesting to see how the US squad will fare with Carmichael in the mix.

Best Place to Buy Tires
Like their signature blimps, the prices at tire megastores can be inflated. So roll those baldies (carefully!) over South Florida's gauntlet of road debris, past a row of dodgy-looking used-tire shops along Sunrise Boulevard, to Tire Hut. The name evokes a primitive, thatched-roof building with a rubber tree out back, but don't be misled. Trucks from local exotic car dealers line up in Tire Hut's front lot because owner Jerry Rosenthal stocks Uniroyal, Michelin, and B.F. Goodrich, all at discount prices. Locally owned and operated, Tire Hut is not a chain but does offer chain-store features, such as free rotation every 5000 miles (provided you save your receipt) and optional road-hazard protection plans. The waiting room is small and the gumballs taste a little stale, but that's not the point. It's Tire Hut, remember? In just minutes you'll hit the streets again on fresh rubber bought at a fair price, thankful that in Florida there's at least one thing it's legal to burn.

The new discipline of astrobiology that is, the science of searching for extraterrestrial life is not only rapdly growing, but has also captured the public imagination. This free course, Icy bodies: Europa and elsewhere, examines the emergence of icy satellites of distant planets as potential sites of extraterrestrial life, looks at the potential for life on Jupiter's moon Europa, and speculates on the ethics of searching for life elsewhere in the solar system.
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- discuss processes upon and within, and internal structure of, differentiated icy bodies (primarily large satellites) in comparison with the terrestrial planets
- describe the conditions that may be required to originate and foster life in an icy body and discuss the likelihood of their having occurred
- recognise the moral and ethical issues of landing spacecraft on potential life-bearing worlds and appreciate the need for appropriate professional codes of conduct in this respect.
- Duration 17 hours

Icy bodies: Europa and elsewhere
Until the 1980s, the icy satellites of the outer planets were scarcely thought of as places where life could ever have existed. Few could have imagined that one of them, Europa, would within twenty years have become the rival of Mars as a priority for astrobiological study. This course recounts the history of our changing perceptions of the icy satellites, examines the available evidence for their internal structures, and considers the niches offered for life to begin and to be sustained. In this context, the 'habitable zone' embraces settings devoid of both sunlight and an atmosphere. These are areas where life could survive on the energy from chemical reactions made possible by the discharge of hot chemically enriched fluids through vents on the floor of an ocean capped by a thick layer of ice. Note that 'ice' does not necessarily mean just frozen water. In the outer Solar System, although H2O is usually the dominant component, ice can incorporate other frozen volatiles such as NH3, CO2, CO, CH4 and N2.

Hey Tony. That story wasn't about our friend Pete M., was it?
Live Long and Prosper
The black is the notes, the white is the page.....play the black!!
'When you're sleeping, someone else is practicing.'"-Herb Alpert
No, Bob. But it might as well have been!
When that happened to me ,I asked them if they paid to get in.When they said no because they were working ,I just stared at them and they let me in.
I once heard a story where some guys were bringing their wives into the back door of a NYE gig, and the people at the facility started to demand that the wives had to pay full admission price before they could get in. The entire band threatened to walk. That seemed to solve the problem. While the folks at the venue may have been technically in the right, it would have been disastrous for them to lose their band on one of the biggest nights of the year.
Similarly, once in a while my bandleader will get into some kind of dispute with someone else at a wedding reception gig (usually it's the caterer - don't know why they seem to think they are ruling the roost) and since we have a signed rider to the contract that covers virtually all aspects of the gig, my bandleader will say something to the effect of, "ok, fine - have it your way - since that is a violation of our signed contract rider we'll just pack up and leave, and YOU can explain to the bride why she doesn't have entertainment for her wedding reception."
It's amazing how people will comply when the appropriate leverage is utilized.
Patrick Gleason
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
"At my signal, unleash hell."

I played the next night and brought my wife in for free. I was most likely wrong to do so.
They didn't say no but I got an evil look.

Nothing is more contagious or tenacious than music. Once you are exposed it gets inside you and you can never get rid of it. It is also non-discriminating. It can be Ride of the Valkyries, In a Gadda da Vida, the Jeopardy 15 second thinking tune, your most disliked commercial jingle - it doesn't matter. Once triggered, off you go, like it or not.
