The first wave of 3Way Consortium releases from adidas Originals unites three of Europe's leading sneaker boutiques – Patta, Sneakersnstuff and LimitEditions, representing Amsterdam, Stockholm and Barcelona respectively, with New York's A.R.C. Opting to rework a shoe each in their own unique style, all four join forces for a fifth shoe that reflects the best of all involved. An eclectic collection, somehow it proves totally cohesive as a whole, reflecting the individual visions of all concerned.
A.R.C. have been selling sneaker staples like the Stan Smith 80s since day one – their admiration for the clean, classic and functional lines of this bestseller is evident, sitting in line with their own store aesthetic. Treating this signature icon as the forefather of contemporary sneaker culture, after this model has been treated with just about every application going during its lengthy lifespan, the New York retail innovators have taken it back-to-basics.
Embellishing tradition with an off-white all-canvas upper, tiny trademark details like the '3-Stripes' of perforation have been retained in a new way – as strips of embroidered dots in lieu of holes, and completed with tongue branding, this is an incredibly tasteful, timeless reworking that should retain the same cross-cultural unisex appeal the Stan Smith has always retained.

A LARGE amount of copper has been stolen from a business in Runcorn.
Police today appealed for witnesses.
Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the property being taken from the targeted premises in Shaw Street, near the train station.
PC Chris Birchall said: "The copper, which was worth around £3,000 to £4,000, would have been too heavy for more than one person to carry and it would have required a vehicle to take the metal away from the scene."
The copper was stolen between 7pm on Saturday, May 10 and and 2.30pm the following day.
Anyone with information should contact PC Chris Birchall on 101 quoting incident number 463 of 11 May 2014 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

LunchBox (A Waxing Salon)
An episode of Seinfeld once poked fun at the concept of "double-dipping" a chip, adamantly comparing the unforgiveable act to "putting your whole mouth right in the dip!" Though LunchBox (A Waxing Salon) doesn't serve party snacks, when it comes to waxing, the spa's waxologists steadfastly adhere to the "no double-dipping" rule. After all, it is their mission to provide a comfortable, safe, and hygienic experience, and double-dipping tools into a clean vat of wax only spreads germs.
Their commitment to hygiene also includes the use of disposable table and body covers, and when it comes to keeping clients comfortable, the staff has a few more tricks up their sleeves. First, they employ speed waxing, a method that cuts time on the table nearly in half. Second, they use wax infused with azulene—an agent of chamomile—that has anti-inflammatory properties that make it possible for even those with sensitive skin to undergo facial or body waxing with minimal irritation. The staff can also add a little frill to freshly smoothed and sculpted areas with glitzy add-ons such as glitter tattoos and eyebrow tinting.

About Winter Chervil: Winter chervil is a close relation of parsley, originating in southern Russia. It's delicate flavor, similar to tarragon or fennel, has made it an extremely popular kitchen herb. Chervil has an honored place in every chef's kitchen, particularly in France. This mild herb is the main ingredient of the famous blend of French herbs known as �fines herbes�, as well as being the seasoning of classic b�arnaise sauce. Though not often used for medicinal purposes, it was historically used as a mild tonic or stimulant as well as being a supposed cure for hiccups.
Winter Chervil Germination: A cool weather plant, chervil grows well in full sun or partial shade and light, moist soil. Since it does not take well to transplanting, direct sowing is the best option. Direct sow about three weeks before the last spring frost for summer crop, or after the heat of summer for a fall crop. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil in rows 12-18" apart, thinning to 9-12" apart as soon the seedlings appear. Germination should take place within 10 days. For a continuous supply of fresh leaves, plant a new crop every 2 weeks until the heat of summer, when chervil will no longer grow well. Winter chervil adapts well as a container plant, and can survive temperatures below freezing with some protection.
Growing Winter Chervil Seeds: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid getting the leaves wet to prevent disease. Cut back the plant often for a longer harvest and to prevent it from going to seed, which often happens in hot weather.
Harvesting Winter Chervil: Harvest leaves as needed, gathering the outer leaves first for best flavor. Though the flowers are edible, their development causes the leaves to grow bitter. Fresh chervil is best added to hot food at the last minute, since it soon loses its flavor with heat. The leaves will keep in the refrigerator for two or three days; drying or freezing are not recommended, since the delicate flavor is soon lost.
Saving Winter Chervil Seeds: Gather the seed heads individually as soon as they begin to dry on the stem. Since they shatter easily, check them often. Spread the heads out to dry in a protected location out of direct sunlight; thresh out the seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place; for best germination, use the seed in the next growing season.
Detailed Winter Chervil Info: Anthriscus cerefolium. Also known as Chervil. Annual. 72 days. Zone 3-8. 2,000 seeds per oz. 12-18" height. 9-12" spacing. Produces green fern-like leaves and umbrella shaped clusters of small white flowers.

Xiaomi Red Rice materials cost just $85, quad-core phone priced at $130
0. phoneArena posted on 30 Aug 2013, 09:37
One of the most talked about phones in Asia is the Xiamoi Red Rice; the reason for the buzz is the remarkably low price of $130 for a handset using a quad-core processor with a screen offering a pixel density of 312ppi. Analytics firm Trend Force found that the phone has $85 worth of materials inside the device, led by the MediaTek MT6589 processor which accounts for 20% of the phone's manufacturing cost...

Ohhhh boy.... What more can expect for $130??? Well it offers more than its price.
is it available in India???

The gross profit margin is not 53%. In accounting, gross profit margin is gross profit divided by revenues. Since revenue is $130 per phone and costs $85 to build, respectively, the gross profit is $45 or the difference between $130 and $85. Now, you divide $45 by the $130 revenue number to get a gross profit margin of 34.6%.

6. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
and realistically its less than that when you figure in the costs of manufacture and distribution. They might make $15 a handset off this phone. But then again, that's not the intentions, Xioami after all is aiming for the Amazon approach.
7. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Again, for the non-accounting folks:
Gross profit or gross profit margin captures direct cost of manufacturing. 34.6% is correct gpm based on the info given, therefore it can't be less than that.
Operating profit (or EBIT) or operating profit margin captures the indirect costs such as SG&A expense, which includes marketing, distribution and shipping cost, R&D, etc.
The reason why Xioami doesn't need a large gross profit margin is because it doesn't need a large marketing budget (sells units at low prices, word of mouth, etc) and it doesn't need a huge R&D budget (since it mainly copies other OEMs).
That's why a 34.6% gpm makes sense for Xioami, but a 35% gpm would be the death knell for a company like Moto that has huge marketing budgets and sizeable R&D budgets.

Sheriff responds to Hammond plane crash
St. Croix County Sheriff's deputies were called to the site of a plane crash Sunday on County Rd. J about 100 ft east of 200th St. in Baldwin near Sky Dive Twin Cities.
Stephen A. Look, 49, New Hope, Minn., pilot of the PAC 750 XL told deputies he lost power when he attempted to land then lost hydraulic control and ran off the end of the runway into the ditch alongside County Rd. J.
Look wasn't injured and his plane was not damaged, but the aircraft partially blocked the westbound lane of County Rd. J before it was towed back on the runway, the sheriff's report said.

In fact, any romantic notions you may have had about Sotherton taking up the sport as a 12-year-old are immediately crushed by the brutally honest 29-year-old.
She insists she "fell into it by default" and merely "did it because I was OK at it".
"I was 12 years old when I did my first multi-event - a pentathlon at that age," she said, "and I won it so I thought I'd give it a go.
"Likewise I'm sure a young Paula Radcliffe didn't decide 'you know what? I'm going to start running marathons'. I'm sure she'd still far rather run one mile than 26. It just so happens she's bloody good at running 26 miles."
With her focus now firmly on Melbourne, she refuses to talk about the spat, describing it as a "load of nonsense" and insisting it is "all done and dusted".
The Isle of Wight-born athlete has scrapped plans to double up in Melbourne with the long jump - thus avoiding another head-to-head with Johnson. The heptathlon undoubtedly is effort enough.
Following Margaret Simpson's withdrawal from the Games - the recently pregnant Ghanaian was the only athlete set for the Games to finish ahead of Sotherton in last year's World Championship - the now Birmingham-based competitor is the runaway favourite.
"Sometimes you can force a heptathlon too much," she said, "which is what I did at the worlds. This time I'm going to go out and enjoy it.
Aside from traffic troubles between her home and her training ground, plus having to practise in dire conditions, her training has gone well.
"It's nice to be in the warmer weather," she admitted. "I'm probably the only heptathlete at these Games who's thrown the discus in the snow in the last few weeks.
"One minute I was wearing two, three jumpers, gloves and a woolly hat. Now I'm almost too warm."
Sotherton has happily fine-tuned her discus and, more importantly, her javelin - the event which cost her a medal at last year's worlds and an event she insists she will never fluff in competition again.
But despite her previous goal, she admits she won't revel in all of the heptathlon events.
"The killer is the 800m," she revealed. "You want to do it but you know it's going to hurt. Actually that's like most of the heptathlon.
"No disrespect to the sprinters but they've got it easy in comparison. They have to run in a straight line from A to B.
"That's not my thing - I guess I like the challenge of the heptathlon. And the advantage I have over those sprinters is that if my track stuff isn't going well in one training session I can, say, head for the high jump... and that eases frustration pretty well."
When asked what winning Commonwealth gold would mean, the punchy Sotherton comes to the fore.
"If it wasn't important to me I would have gone to the world indoors," she added. "It'd mean a lot to win gold - my first title and you always remember your first title.
"Added to that, I'd go to my next event and be introduced as 'Commonwealth Games champion Kelly Sotherton'."
She arrived in Melbourne with an "it could all finish tomorrow" attitude.
And that has something to do with her late arrival as a professional athlete. At the last Commonwealth Games in Manchester - where she finished seventh - she was still working at a bank.
And the Athens Olympics, where she won bronze, was her first really major event.
"I've done the normal life unlike a lot of the top athletes," she said, "and I don't miss it at all, whether it be the nine-to-five lifestyle or going out for a Friday or Saturday night.
"Most people do their jobs to pay their bills, which is what I did. Now I get to travel the world, do what I love and get paid for it. OK, it's hard sometimes and you don't get days off but if it pays off, it's well worth it."

Either way, you'll likely find it unappetizing.

text: olgo 119 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 Hi guys, I've searched all over for information on this topic, couldn't find anything. I decided to find a good community to post in, so I hope this is it. I'm wondering, what elements of the high-fantasy genre are copyright protected / public domain? I realize elves and dwarves and goblins and orcs and general races like that must be public domain as they are used in an infinite amount of works. What about more specific things such as Observers, Mind Flayers, and Bugbears? Those are the ones I'm not too sure about. Then even more specific than that, I assume are intellectual property, such as Drizzt Do'Urden or Volothamp Geddarm or Faerun or Amn. I've been contemplating this because I am a huge fan of the high fantasy setting and I'm creating an RPG game. I want my work to be inspired by Tolkein and Forgotten Realms but I don't want to cross any legal lines. I want to have orcs and elves and the like in my game but I'm wondering "Can I have Observers? or do I have to change the name to Oogly Eyeball Floater?" Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pensacola, Florida - Two Coast Guard aircrews rescued 12 crew members from a capsized 170-foot research ship approximately 141 miles south of Pensacola on Friday morning.
Watch standers for the 8th Coast Guard District received a distress call from an emergency position indicating radio beacon from the Seaprobe. A crew member reported they were taking on water and were unable to keep up with the flooding. The 12 crew members abandoned ship and boarded three life rafts.
An HC-144 Ocean Sentry crew from Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile, Ala., arrived on scene and remained there until helicopter rescue crews arrived.
An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from ATC Mobile airlifted five crew members and another Jayhawk crew from Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater, Fla., launched and hoisted seven crewmembers. The two aircrews brought all of the Seaprobe crew members to ATC Mobile to await emergency medical services.
"When we arrived on scene we saw the hull sticking out of the water, and about a mile away, 12 crew members were on three life rafts tied together; our rescue swimmer assisted five into the hoist basket," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Robert McDonald, ATC Mobile flight mechanic. "They were covered in diesel fuel and extremely cold, but every one of them was wearing a life jacket."
EMS transported three crew members with medical concerns to the Providence Hospital in Mobile, while the remaining nine were reported as stable.
The cause of the incident is under investigation.

Cute Inn, very close to downtown. The room was small but nice, definitely has the inn charm and history.
the hotel was near all the facilities . I would have prefered a room in the main house but the room i was allocated was nontheless clean and comfortable.
Was a great location, parked the car when we arrived on Saturday, spent 2 nights and were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Newport.
Clean room, quiet area.

Charming quiet rooms & great location, 200m from great restaurants/bars. Staff very helpful.
Friendliness Parking, happy hour wine Very tired looking and extremely noisy room due to some pump
The staff were friendly, the room was spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. The continental breakfast was also pretty good. The en-suite was tiny in relation to the size of the room, the shower had nowhere to put the soap or shampoo which was a bit of a nuisance, but one does not spend 24/7 in the shower room......
The location is good to reach centre of Newport for Restaurants and bars. Size of the room is very small. A musty smell of the place (in September). The staff was not friendly, just businesslike.
Relaxed atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff.
Everyone was very nice. Just attentive enough. The location was amazing; short walk to all of downtown. No two rooms are alike. So gorgeous. Free, convenient parking! Very familiar, comfortable atmosphere.
Wonderful character - ful inn with great staff. Extras included wine and cheese in the early evening - a real treat nothing negative to stay
The food and reception are wonderful. The rooms are quaint, clean and well decorated. This is what you want and expect from a New England beach B&B.
the personal service and small number of rooms (5)
There was a jacuzzi tub in our room. There was a nice sitting area next to the bed with a nice window to look out of, however my husband didn't want to sit in them because he thought he might break them. We were able to eat breakfast outside on a deck. The blueberry pancakes were delicious. I liked the checkout time and the times available for breakfast. There was no meat with the breakfast. There was no TV in the room. The bathroom was tiny. The room had a high bed and I needed to use the step stool to get in it.
The style, comfort and relaxing atmosphere afforded an ideal opportunity to recharge our batteries. Breakfast was amazing!
Everything is perfect here.
The food and reception are wonderful. The rooms are quaint, clean and well decorated. This is what you want and expect from a New England beach B&B.
the Inn staff greeted us at the door and showed us to our room on the top floor. It was a quaint room with a nice clean bathroom and an armoir for hanging up clothes. There were three rooms on the top floor and all reserved. We missed breakfast due to an early start but the menu looked delicious!
Excellent. Accommodation comfortable in a very pleasant Inn. Very personable staff, and Mark makes an excellent breakfast. Thoroughly recommended. Nothing to do with the MArshall Slocum Inn, but if visiting Newport, beware parking restrictions ( I didn't !!!)
Excellent location, lovely period detached building with free parking. Walking distance to all attractions. Nice comfortable bed and crisp linens. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor near the communal breakfast area. Breakfast starts at 7.30 pm and can be quite noisy - impossible to sleep late if in these rooms! Also the wooden floors in the room above our room meant lots of noisy footsteps. It would have been nice to have two chairs in our room rather than just one as the bed was too high too sit on.
Beutiful historic house in a quiet road just a short walk from all sea front and harbour.Mark was an excellent host.Breakfast was cooked freshly for each guest by Mark who took time to answer questions and give directions and vadvice on a variety of questions.Thank You All at Marshall Slocum
nice accomodations, gracious hostess, great location
The location is ideal, just a short walk into the downtown and harbor area, and right off Bellevue Ave. The Inn is charming and comfortable, and the host and hostess, as well as the staff, are friendly and very helpful. The room was immaculate, and the breakfast, on the deck, was delicious. We can't wait to come back! My husband would have liked a television in the room, but I know bed & breakfasts usually do not have them.
the personal service and small number of rooms (5)
The Inn was very clean, everything in the room worked fine. Towels were very plush, bed linens fine, clean and fresh. The Innkeepers were very hospitable, friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast terrific. 3rd floor deck overlooking Newport wonderful.
Great location. Enjoyed the visits with proprietors. They were helpful with local information and very accommodating.
Great location, very nicely appointed common areas
Great location, very pleasant staff, wonderful view, very nice rooms
Location is great and staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was adequate. Stayed 3 nights. Bed was extra extra firm... it was so hard we were unable to sleep on it the first night. When we complained, they offered us another room but that bed was just as hard. To their credit, they purchased a topper for the bed. Topper helped some but still hard as a rock. Wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you enjoy sleeping on slab of granite.
The rooms were very very comfortable with an excellent view of the bay. The location was ideal and the staff were very friendly. There was unlimited use of the dining/common room with coffee and tea through the day. Would definately recommend this hotel. Breakfast was ordinary, but the location/staff/comfort made up for it.
Great location for "foot" touring! Staff very helpful and friendly. Housekeeping leaves much to be desired!
Authtentic atmosphere ,large rooms more like suites, breakfast area with splendid views over the harbour. Nice crew and location spot on.Place to return.
Awesome location, excellent value (for the time of year), very friendly staff, cute and cozy room
Location was very nice The building is older so you hear lots of little noises

Nice room no
Excellent location and value for the area. Very clean and friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again. Nothing.
The suites were absolutely beautiful, very tastefully decorated and I just didn't want to get out of the bed it was so comfortable! The lobby is very utilitarian and does not relfect the high standard of the rooms. It could put off walk-ins from staying there, which would be a shame.
Great location, very pleasant staff, wonderful view, very nice rooms
Good atmosphere with friendly staff No choice of entree for breakfast
The Innkeeper, Cindy, was very accomodating and created a great breakfast.
Lovely place to stay, very clean, warm and helpful staff, delicious breakfast and baked goodies.
Beautiful bed and breakfast with excellent facilities in the room and a good breakfast buffet plus helpful staff with good local knowledge.
Very comfortable, affordable and great staff. Parking
The innkeepers were very hospitable and really offered a wealth of information on Newport, things to see and do, and so on. They really went out of their way to make sure we were at our most comfortable, providing a lovely breakfast every morning and tea every afternoon. The rooms themselves were great, the beds were comfortable and the space was cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed the garden and patio areas. It really was a lovely experience overall and certainly was a great value.
The location to the shopping area was great, not a far walk at all. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi The Inn was old and could have used some esthetic updating. The breakfast was run of the mill. Not really worth the money spent. Also our room was changed without our knowledge. We didn't find out til we got there and had no other choice
Great location, large jacuzzi and a large bathroom. Did not have breakfast, but heard it was great. Staff was attentive. The room was on the small side and there was some shabbiness about the place. Stains on a drop (yuck) ceiling, chips on bathroom fixtures. Plastic cups at this price! And the hearth was not cleaned.
Great location My husband and I were the only guest staying at this bed and breakfast; we found it a little lonely. No one was there to greet us or give us info on area (or to let us know where ice was located). We had to go to another location to get keys and eat breakfast. No bathrobes were provided (as stated online). Did receive them next day at 6:30 pm after we asked that morning.. Jacuzzi tub had sand at the buttom and jets seemed to be moldy. The cleaning people did come back and cleaned the tub.
The location is perfect. Right in the middle of old Newport, on the waterfront near shopping and great eating. Check in at a different location.
Proximity to downtown and woaterfront Little investment into building carpeting, wallpaper or furnishings. Windows are painted shut. Check-in takes place in a building on the other side of town.
i liked the people working there, the bathroom, the breakfast, and the location price a bit high, parking tight, some cobwebs in room and bath, and a/c works just ok
The tub and seperate shower were great. It was very relaxing soaking in the tub. I was very upset when we arrived. We were not put up in the room that we booked and were comfirmed with. We never recieved notification that the change was made.
the lady who made our breakfast was so nice the location was noisy. the decor from a bad 70's movie
Great location, hands off staff, a little run down, really uncomfortable bed with non fitting bedclothes, isn't as luxury as it looks in the add, pretty expensive for what you get I'm afraid
The room was beautifully appointed, we love the sea side New England B&B feel, beautiful room. The jacuzzi was awesome, and very smart with a speaker in the bathroom...perfect! Very romantic! The bed was really comfy too, really comfy for any type of lodging. Loved it! Our room was a little loud with street noise in the morning, but I think that room may be the only one that gets the noise that would bad...We really loved the place though and go back.
Good access to downtown Newport. The breakfast was good. Parking available. It was loud. Other guests made it hard to sleep. We could also hear people talking out on the street late at night.
The staff was awesome and attentive to any need whatsoever. French toast was awesome. We upgraded to a king room. Queen was a little small, still good but tight fit.
We had a fantastic time at the Attwater - the rooms were modern and comfortable, the breakfast each day was a gourmet surprise. The location worked well for us - a 5 minute walk into downtown and 15 minutes to the Cliff Walk entrance. Only two negatives in our entire experience. There was some, but not a great deal, of noise from other rooms at the hotel. Noise was never an issue, but rather a small distraction. Also The bathroom in our unit (in the beach house) was small.

94 F3d 652 Nintendo of America Inc v. R Brown
94 F.3d 652
NINTENDO OF AMERICA, INC., Plaintiff-Appellee,
Kenneth R. BROWN, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 95-15954.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Aug. 12, 1996.*
Decided Aug. 16, 1996.
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
Before: BROWNING, SCHROEDER, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
Kenneth R. Brown appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment for Nintendo of America, Inc. ("Nintendo") in Nintendo's action to enjoin Brown and others from selling video game cartridges that infringed copyrights and trademarks owned by Nintendo. We review de novo the district court's summary judgment. Warren v. City of Carlsbad, 58 F.3d 439, 441 (9th Cir.1995), cert. denied, 116 S.Ct. 1261 (1996). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
1. Copyright Infringement, 17 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.
Brown contends the district court erred by holding that he infringed Nintendo's copyrights. "To establish a successful copyright infringement claim, a plaintiff must show that (1) she owns the copyright, and (2) defendant copied protected elements of the copyrighted work." Smith v. Jackson, 84 F.3d 1213, 1218 (1996). "Copying may be shown by circumstantial evidence of access and substantial similarity of both the general ideas and expression between the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing work." Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 35 F.3d 1435, 1442 (9th Cir.1994), cert. denied, 115 S.Ct. 1176 (1995). Here, it is undisputed that Nintendo owned valid copyrights for the video games at issue and the video games sold by Brown were virtually identical to Nintendo's games, except for the absence of Nintendo's copyright designation. Furthermore, because there is a "striking similarity" between the games Brown sold and Nintendo's games, an inference of copyright infringement arises. See Baxter v. MCA, Inc., 812 F.2d 421, 423 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 954 (1987). In opposing summary judgment, Brown failed to submit evidence that was sufficient to controvert this inference. Therefore, the district court did not err by holding that Brown infringed on Nintendo's copyright. See Smith, 84 F.3d at 1218.
2. Trademark Infringement, 15 U.S.C. § 1114
Brown contends that the district court erred by holding that he infringed on Nintendo's trademark. "To maintain a trademark infringement action under 15 U.S.C. § 1114 ... a plaintiff must prove the defendant's use of the same or similar mark would create a likelihood of consumer confusion." Murray v. Cable Nat. Broadcasting Co., No. 95-55090, slip op. 7057, 7061 (9th Cir. June 18, 1996). The record supports the district court's determination that consumer confusion would occur about the origin of the video games at issue because they were virtually identical to the games sold by Nintendo. The district court did not err by holding that Brown infringed on Nintendo's trademark. See id.
3. False Designation of Origin, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)
The test for claims brought for false designation of origin "is exactly the same as for trademark infringement: 'whether the public is likely to be deceived or confused by the similarity of the marks.' " Century 21 Real Estate Corp. v. Sandlin, 846 F.2d 1175, 1178 (9th Cir.1988) (quoting New West Corp. v. NYM Co. of California, 595 F.2d 1194, 1201 (9th Cir.1979). Because the district court did no err by holding that consumer confusion was probable, it properly entered summary judgment for Nintendo on its false designation of origin claim. See id.
4. Unfair Competition Under Arizona Law
Under Arizona law, to maintain an action for unfair competition, a plaintiff must show either "that it was engaged in competitive business with [the defendant] or that [the defendant's] actions were likely to produce public confusion. Sutter Home Winery, Inc. v. Vintage Selections, Ltd., 971 F.2d 401, 407 (9th Cir.1992) (citation omitted). Because the district court did not err by holding that consumer confusion was probable, it properly entered summary judgment for Nintendo on its unfair competition claim. See id.
5. Trademark Counterfeiting, 15 U.S.C. § 1117(b)
Brown contends the district court erred by holding that he committed trademark counterfeiting. A plaintiff may establish a claim for trademark counterfeiting by showing that (1) the defendant intentionally used a mark or designation knowing that it was counterfeit, or (2) the defendant is willfully blind to such use. See 15 U.S.C. § 1117(b). Here, the record indicates that Nintendo served Brown with its second set of interrogatories and requests for admissions. Included in the request for admissions was a request that Brown admit to intentionally selling multiple game cartridges, using Nintendo's marks, with the knowledge that the marks were counterfeit. Brown failed to respond to the interrogatories and request for admissions. Because Brown failed to respond to the interrogatories and request for admissions, he was deemed to have admitted that he committed trademark counterfeiting. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 36(a); see also Hadley v. United States, 45 F.3d 1345, 1348 (9th Cir.1995). Therefore, the district court did not err by entering summary judgment on this issue. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 36(a).
6. Jury Trial Request
Because Brown's request for a jury trial was untimely, the district court did not err by denying the request. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 38(b) (stating that party seeking a jury trial must file its demand "not later than 10 days after the service of the last pleading directed to such issue.").

READY IN: 15mins
Recipe by Norahs Girl
A substantional Salad and very pretty to look at .Ideal for a summer get together!

The presentation on this salad is striking without any of the usual yellow, orange or red. The dressing is very subtle, plus I added more greens, so did not have enough of it. My family did not care for the goat cheese. I thought it was wonderful chunked up in the salad leftovers (which were not at all soggy the next day).

The Daily Hotness: Gilles Marini
Did you see that movie? You know the guy who lives next to Samantha and has tons of sex? Well, not only is he quite attractive, but he also seems like a really hardworking family guy. The 32-year-old French actor Gilles Marini has been inundated with phone calls, emails, and job offers since the movie (and his goods) premiered, but he sounds so nice! "I just was not expecting this at all," he told Reuters. "Maybe people will see me as the naked guy for a bit but as soon as someone gives me a chance to do something else I can prove I can do that. "I am not 18 years-old with this smacking me in the face so that I lose control of what I am. It is a blessing. I am very humbled and touched by all the attention. It is wonderful for my life, for my family and for my future." Also, if you're logged into MySpace, you can view this sepia-tone photo of him with Johnny Depp on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. [Reuters]

Breakfast buffet was nice, good location Didn't really have air conditioning -- our room was really hot which was disruptive
We don't know what we would have liked because our reservation was cancelled on the morning of our flight to Oslo because of a hotel workers strike. Obviously, we didn't like the need to find another hotel at the very last minute.
The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The swimming pool and sauna had free lockers and plenty of fluffy white towels. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others. The booking details were totally correct. Thank you. No.
Breakfast The room was old and not entirely clean, staying at this hotel was a true disappointment, not value for money at all!!
Friendly staff,nice room and very clean.Good location. We decided to have a meal on the night we arrived in the dining room,waiter said how good the food was,he took our order and we ordered a bottle of wine then he returned to say all that was available was a burger.Not good for first impression.
The staff was excellent - they helped me recover my kindle when I accidentally left it on the airport shuttle. They also helped me with directions and provided assistance in finding my way around Oslo. The breakfast buffet was very good as well. Room temperature was a bit warm for my taste - the ac was apparently not on yet (early spring), so I could not make the room cooler.
Very slow/non-existant Room Service.

exceptionally good was the breakfast, very wide variety of anything you can wish for and great service( michael from the brekfast service was very helpful and gave a great service!). also the view from the hotelbar is great! the "business class" rooms were a little bit old fashioned and run down, but clean and everythign was there.
Very nice breakfast in nice room The interior of the rooms is "dated"
Stig the Receptionist at front desk who tried to rectify the problems with our rooms My wife and I arrived on the 17th August 2015, and on attempting to check-in we were told the "computer system" was not working and therefore we we not able to check in. We were told to either wait (they could not provide an estimate on how long it would take). After a 15-min wait we were checked in "manually". As an American Carlson member, I presented my Club Carlson Gold card, but it wasn't accepted because my trip was booked through Kayak! Nevertheless after a short delay we were in our room. Immediately we noticed that the carpet in the room was dirty, and there were 2-single beds (as opposed to a double as we booked) Credit to the front desk staff who promptly reassigned us to a "newly refurbished" room. The room was a marked improvement over the last, and we happily settled in; unpacking our suitcases and preparing for an afternoon of sightseeing. On return in the evening, we prepared for the night and around 20:00 we tried to lock the door. The door lock did not work. A call to the front desk and a couple of minutes later someone from maintenance was at our door. I explained that the door wouldn't lock from the inside and he insisted that the lock was working. I was a bit taken back by his curt response, but nevertheless invited him to try. What followed next had me flabbergasted! The maintenance employee closed the door, and using his body weight proceeded to to yank on the door handle until he could engage the lock. Curtly he replied, "There it is locked". I attempted to unlock door by turning the lock itself and when I couldn't he demonstrated how to unlock the door. Standing on his toes and again using all his body weight he pressed down on the door handle until the lock disengaged. Again the curt response, "There it is unlocked". I couldn't believe it! Visibility annoyed at this point, when I pointed out that locking the door in such a manner would be a fire hazard (not to mention my wife will never be able to unlock the door if I locked it), he suggested that I actually didn't need to lock the door as no one from the outside could get in without a key. In response I stated that any member of staff could enter if the door was unlocked, to which he acknowledged was true and said I could either call the front desk to arrange a new room, lock the door as he demonstrated, or leave the door unlocked; but there was nothing he could do to fix the lock. Another call to the front desk and we were offered a room on the 20th floor. So after repacking we moved to our 3-room for the day. From then on the only issues we faced were with our room keys. Every time we left our room, the room key would not let us back in. So we had to make our way to the front desk where they would make a new key. Every time without fail!
I stayed 2 nights for a city break and found the hotel fine in particular I found the sauna a welcome relief after touring the city all day. The breakfast buffet had everthing you would want with good quality ingredients. It was a good location just a 5 min walk to the main street karl johans. my only fault was the room was a little small (twin queen were 2 single beds although comfortable) with no tea coffee making facility which is a pity especially when walking around the city all you look forward to is a warm cup of coffee to relax in your room, the hotel lobby was dated the chairs were quiet worn and the leisure facilities (pool) was freezing!!
The roof bar and the location with a nice walk to the city center.
Rooms were very comfortable with helpful staff. The breakfast was a nice variety of foods.
friendly staff hypocritical staff

Saga Hotel is a very stylish and comfortable boutique hotel, in a quiet and elegant area of Oslo, fifteen minutes walk from the national theatre, the palace and the main shopping street. (The train from the airport stops at the National Theatre and taxis are available, or without a lot of luggage it's a 15 minute walk - alternatively there are trams from Oslo Central Station). The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and my room was very comfortable and quiet - I was able to sleep with the windows open without any noise from the street. I was meeting up with Norwegian friends and after calling in to the hotel to take me out they were very impressed and will now be recommending the hotel to their business colleagues. I'll certainly stay here again on my next visit to Oslo. Apart from excellent breakfast facilities the hotel doesn't have a restaurant or room service - as a single traveler I prefer not to dine out alone, but as I was meeting friends each day this wasn't a problem on this trip. There are lots of restaurants nearby.
Location was convenient and quiet. A bit away from the city center but easy bus/tram ride away. Breakfast was good. I found the little shower enclosure ingenious. Shows you can have a functional bathroom in about 20 square feet. Staff was helpful Room was pretty small, but probably in line with other Scandinavian hotels.
coffe-tea-water free all day long!!! self-made wafles in the afternoon!!! free evening-buffet!!!! big room!!! very nice decoration!!! very friendly staff!!!! very quiet location!!! the best hotel ever!!!!
Quiet, unobstrusive atmosphere Even for a single room, rather small with eaves further limiting space on 4th floor
Toilet/shower room tiny. Could do with at least a few wall hooks for towels.
Handsome building with interesting archietectural history in gracious, easily accessible residential area on westside of Oslo. Peaceful and quiet. Close to local trams. Buses, good restuarants and Vigeland Sculpture garden. Modernized rooms are well-decorated in spare contemporary Scandinavian design. Our room for two was spotless and had excellent toilet\shower facilities. Abundant, although standard, breakfast buffet and very good evening buffet included in price of hotel. Juices, coffee and tea available all day. There are 3-4 well furnished, comfortable, smoke free lounges and an outdoor terrace.. Free wireless internet throughout hotel. Good for business as well as leisure travellers and families. Main desk clerks were a bit harried, not as friendly as staff providing breakfast or evening buffet who were attentive and helpful.
The relaxed atmosphere and pleasant staff. The breakfast. We were unable to attend the evening meals. We did wonder if our room would be warm enough in deep winter, especially the bathroom. The wall heater did not work on the full range od settings.
Staff, location, cleanliness..value.
Nice and quiet area, on walking distance of the city center. Not like any big business hotel, but much more cosy. Even though the hotel was not fully booked, I was offered the room with a very small window and the worst view you can imagine.
see above. We were put an a handicaproom.
Quiet, unobstrusive atmosphere Even for a single room, rather small with eaves further limiting space on 4th floor
Good beds , we slept really good Bookings said I could have reserved handicapped parking. Hotel said when I arrived Bookings has error as to parking on its site. Since they do not have reserved parking.and this is Bookings fault not the hotels.
coffe-tea-water free all day long!!! self-made wafles in the afternoon!!! free evening-buffet!!!! big room!!! very nice decoration!!! very friendly staff!!!! very quiet location!!! the best hotel ever!!!!
Evening meal was more than light, it was excellent! There was a mention about fitness centre and we thought it's a gym but it wasn't.
All in one was pretty much ok, except the fact that the bathroom was not cleaned and i had to say that to the staff 2 times in order to get it clean
I like the kindness of the staff, and their ability to answer questions, also to solve some problems. they were very friendly. it was dirty with chips under the beds, and i would prefer some double bed instead of single beds. They were not the most comfortable bed i ever had in hotels. also, they are a bit short for me, i'm 1m88.
Friendly helpful staff, good location, excellent breakfast and comfortable room (superior).
Comfortable with pleasant staff and accessible to city centre
The breakfast, and the location The room was full of dust. Too expensive.
The hotel is quietly located, although very central. Liked the lay-out and functioning of the breakfast buffet. Not the usual busy feel, tables placed comfortably away.
Being close to the Design Store Building and other shopping areas by the wharf. The hotel staff was unhelpful in almost every respect.
close to the Aker Brygge area of the city no
Super location, centrally located but quiet. Very clean. Helpful staff and wonderful breakfast. No
Very friendly & kind staff at checkin & indeed at checkout. A very good breakfast. My room was ver noisey, facing the roasd where trams were going by regularly. No air conditioning meant that it was quite uncomfortable.
The hotrl is walking distance to the tram/bus stop (~4 min walk), the Royal Palace and Gardens (~9 min walk) and harbor (~8 minute walk). Google maps help in finding the number of bus or tram to take. We had the family room. Two rooms each with their own Barth and two queen beds. The breakfast was delicious. All food is organic and comes from the local region. Very helpful staff. If you are used to large spacious hotel rooms and baths then this isn't the place for you. The rooms were quaint and efficient. Bath was small.
hardly any people around, easy to do stuff
The location was very handy, quite close to the sea and not far from the city centre. The room was not very big but we had no problems sleeping on the very comfortable beds, also the shower facility is quite nice. The staff was very kind and helpful.
The hotel is child-friendly and family-friendly. Good location - 10 minutes walk to Oslo main street, 2 minutes from trendy seafront area.
No bar/Restaurant!!!
Reasonable price considering that this is in Oslo. The room was fairly large. The hotel is located very close to Aker Brygge, where you will find several very good restaurants and bars. The restaurant was closed in the evening, no in-house facilities at all besides the reception after that. Some traffic noise in the room. To enter the hotel you need to climb a couple of short staircases, which may be a problem for people with prams or wheelchairs.
very good location, big seletion of breakfast, friendly staff, very comfortable bed the room is a bit small, not very new/modern furniture in the room
I like the way how recepcionists threated me as a guest of that hotel. They was very kind and pleasent. Also, I like the fact that they immediately answer me on the mail prior to visit to the hotel.
Very clean and welcoming. Great restaurant.
Location and atmosphere Low value for money
Nice hotel for a good price in a nice and quiet part with a very complete breakfast!
Very friendly, helpful staff. Excellent location. On the bus line, 5 minutes from National Theatre metro stop and connections to airport. Quiet, upscale neighborhood. Short walk to palace, university, and Ibsen museum.
The hotel was a brisk 30-min walk from the station but we liked that we could walk through the city streets to get there. The breakfast was fantastic: full of variety and plenty of it. Staff were friendly and efficient. The room was quite small but beautifully furnished and the bed was very comfortable. Would have loved tea-making facilities in the room - but we know this is a British thing!
Location and atmosphere Low value for money
My room was small but cheerful, comfortable, quiet and clean. The carpet was looking a little old, but the hotel had a grand feel, especially given its price. The breakfast was very nice.
Shower too small.
It's location The beds were on wheels and on a wooden floor, amazing how much they would role around. The room was too small and in general for the price charged I don't think it was worth it. I aslo didn't like that fact that they charged me 6 KR for printing out a boarding card when my total bill was over 6.000 KR. It just doesn't look right in terms of customer service. It's cheap.
Confortably rooms
Very clean and welcoming. Great restaurant.
personel were friendly and helpful the bed was tiny. the chair needed to be replaced. the heater didn't work so they had to bring in a supplemental heater. it was really too expensive for the smallness of the room. the t.v. wasn't particularly modern, but I don't watch t.v.
The hotel is in an excellent central location for exploring and experiencing the city of Oslo.
Comfortable room and helpful staff Noisy tram lines outside
The hotel is in an excellent central location for exploring and experiencing the city of Oslo.
Great location and wonderful rich breakfast, nice staff
excellent breakfast, nice and big enough room, warm and pleasant, in the city centre
Comfortable room and helpful staff Noisy tram lines outside
Large room and bathroom, breakfast Noisy air conditioner in the rooms which cannot be adjusted or switched off.
Free Wi-Fi that works. Rooms are small but cozy.
the bed is very nice. location is so closed to oslo university college and not far from the other famous places. breakfast is goooood. the room is a liitle small for two persons..
friendly staff, great breakfast, good bed it was actually quite freezing in the room because of the air-conditioning (but because it was central air-conditioning, it couldn´t be put down)
Good location - near Central Station, clean and large room, perfect bathroom, friendly attitude.
Room comfort Maybe reception staff came across as a bit curt
Very clean comfortable and friendly
Liked the room for its design, also great breakfast and free coffee, tea and apples at the reception
the breakfast was very good, the position good the noice of conditioners
clean, good breakfast, slept well the receptionist could not even explain properly where the hotel was located. I was already in bogstadveien, and she made me turn twice because she didn't know where I was, even though I was naming all the names of the stores.
This Hotel is located in a very pleasant street, lot of shop's, easy access to public transportation. The design of this hotel is up to date in a Scandinavian style. The lock of my door seems damaged and I'm not sure it was very efficient... No safety box in rooms.
Breakfast was fresh and good and served in a nice room. Free hot drinks 24h. Free Internet point and printer. The room was not properly clean. Noise coming from the courtyard (air conditioning equipment?)
The hotel is good location. Very good price for the value. It is not suitable for friends to share the rooms. Because the bathroom has glass windows where you can see directly through! Also they messed up our rates. I booked 2 standard double rooms, 1 for 2 people 1 for 1 person. The room for 1 person has cheaper rate. They gave us a single room for the 1 person and wanted to charge double room's rate!
rooms are a bit small
Easy access to public transport - trams outside the door and T-bahn a few hundred metres away. We had asked for twin beds. We did not notice we had been given a double bed (with two duvets) until we had unpacked and to move then to another room would have been too tiresome. Twin beds means twin beds.
Location and Staff No Air Conditioning and it seemed a bit run down.
Relatively central location Reception staff were unhelpful and surly.
The breakfast. A little bit expensive for the type of room you get. The price could easily be around NOK 900. That would be a reasonable rate.
Close to city center and bus/metro stations
This hotel is a bit old a not modern at first sight, but comfortable and functional, ther is all you can need including free cofee in the hall or garage. The staff is kind and helpful. The location is also very good.
a comfortable large room + very good breakfast not applicable
The staff tried within there ability to accommodate our requests. The breakfast was good. Compared to US standard, this hotel would probably not receive more than a two star
Bathroom was very small and old.
service of the people

How long until complementary therapies work?
- Question from Joan: How long will it take for these therapies to take effect? And how will I know they are working?
- Answers - Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. Many patients feel the effects of complementary therapies during the sessions themselves. As Mary Ellen stated before, there are so many types of complementary therapies that the individual results will depend upon the actual therapies being performed. Patients have told me of their experiences when receiving Reiki massage, reflexology, acupuncture, etc., that they felt a very profound transformation. I believe this to be the beginning of their healing process. Knowing whether or not they're working is something the individual themselves would only be able to gauge in the feeling that this process invokes.
- Tracy Walton I agree with everything Beth said. My clients tell me that they do feel effects during the massage sessions and soon afterwards. I think if you sleep well that night and deeply, and feel some ease in anxiety and an increase in well-being, you know that massage therapy has had an effect and in some way met you where you are on your journey. Clients tell me they feel really fully seen and felt and heard during this very important time in their lives by their massage therapist. If you're seeking a long term reduction in muscle tension, that may take several sessions to manifest.
- Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. Regardless of what therapy someone is receiving, I believe the initial connection with the human spirit of the therapist or physician is a very profound experience when it takes place. That can sometimes, in and of itself, initiate this process.
- Mary Ellen Scheckenbach From a very practical standpoint, acupuncture is often used to treat symptoms associated with chemotherapy and radiation. Although the side effects of chemotherapy are not eliminated, hopefully, they are greatly reduced. Hopefully the recovery time after individual chemotherapy sessions and after the courses of radiation and chemotherapy is quick. I like it best when my patients say to me, "I'm not sure why I did acupuncture, because I never really felt that bad!"
- Tracy Walton Reiki, which can involve hands-on touch, is a really potent therapy for people during cancer treatment. I heard one story of a person who chose to have a Reiki practitioner with her during her chemotherapy infusions. She swore by the ability of the Reiki and the practitioner to get her through that time with a minimum of side effects. Another person who chose to have energy therapies later in the day after her infusion felt it made the difference between her tolerating chemotherapy enough to continue working at her job and not being able to do that.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Acupuncture and Touch Therapies featured Mary-Ellen Scheckenbach, M.Ac., Tracy Walton, L.M.T., M.S., and moderator Beth Baughman Dupree, M.D., F.A.C.S. answering your questions about acupuncture and touch therapies.

'That six-year period is such a dramatic transformation in terms of global culture,' the director shared his insight.
The Beatles authorized documentary is underway with one of the Fab Four's biggest fans in the director seat. Ron Howard is pleased to team up with Apple Corps, the Beatles' business organization, to direct a documentary focusing on the band's touring years.
"I am excited and honored to be working with Apple and the White Horse team on this astounding story of these four young men who stormed the world in 1964," Howard said in a statement. "Their impact on popular culture and the human experience cannot be exaggerated."
The director is joined by Nigel Sinclair, the Grammy-winning producer behind the documentary "George Harrison: Living in the Material World". Sinclair said, "The way the Beatles burst onto the scene in Britain was an overwhelming social, cultural and musical phenomenon, but was even then eclipsed by that extraordinary explosion on the American scene and then the world."
The scope will be between 1960 to 1966 when Beatlemania took over the world and the band toured relentlessly through Europe, North America and parts of Asia. There will be footage from their performance at San Francisco's Candlestick Park in 1966, which was the group's final American concert. Two classic albums "A Hard Day's Night" and "Rubber Soul" were also released between these years.
On grabbing the footage of the San Francisco concert, Sinclair said, "Their last concert in '66, when they were probably the most famous people on the planet, [they] ended up carrying their own amps onstage. I think that's almost emblematic of the charm of this story."
Howard added, "What's so compelling to me is the perspective that we have now, the chance to really understand the impact that they had on the world. That six-year period is such a dramatic transformation in terms of global culture and these remarkable four individuals, who were both geniuses and also entirely relatable. That duality is something that is going to be very interesting to explore."
Howard will also insert new interviews with surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as John Lennon's and George Harrison's widows, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. The untitled The Beatles documentary is scheduled for a tentative late 2015 release.

Advice: A job is the best revenge for getting a liberal arts degree
Updated 2:02 pm, Saturday, September 14, 2013
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Hi, Carolyn!
I see that you have a liberal arts degree. I just earned my BA in English Literature, and I am proud of it. You would not believe the people who say, "What are you going to do with that?" Or, "You won't get a job with that."
I have a very long explanation of why liberal arts degrees are still relevant, but their remarks seem to call for a shorter response than a dissertation. How can I respond without being rude, perhaps even illuminating them in a concise way?
It doesn't help that I haven't actually figured out what direction I want to go in professionally, but I do know my degree has made me a more critical thinker and a better writer, and I am glad I did something I loved.
Latest lifestyle videos
-- Proud
All of which is wonderful, and none of which your questioners give a (poop) about, since they're mostly invested in confirming their own biases.
So, just tell them this: The moment you actually get a job, you'll let them know how wrong they are. Illuminate them in a concise way that not all liberal arts majors take themselves too seriously.
Re: Liberal arts degrees:
I am surprised you didn't mention your all-purpose "Wow." People who say things like "You will never get a job" are rude. Just reply neutrally with a "Maybe" or "OK" or "If you say so." Be a smart-aleck punk like my brother, smack your head dramatically, and say, "Oh no! I did college all wrong! Now I will live off the taxpayers FOREVER!" (He majored in philosophy, and has been employed for 12-plus years, gainfully enough to keep him and his family living comfortably.)
-- Anonymous
"Wow" is for ugly things, not stupid ones. Stupid just gets the "OK, whatever you say" treatment, in whatever form amuses the person delivering it.
Hey, Carolyn:
Back on the dating market after a multi-year relationship, and I'm feeling a little unimpressed with the guys I've encountered so far. One thing I've noticed happening repeatedly (five-plus different guys) is that after going on a few dates, the guys will always leave the ball in my court, usually by saying, "Text me if you want to go out again."
To me, this reads as lack of interest, but then they want to know why I haven't texted. This feels like terrible laziness and/or fear of rejection to me. Am I just behind the times? (I'm not even that old!)
-- Singlevania
If their asking you to text them is "laziness and/or fear of rejection," then what do you call your refusal to text them?
Equality isn't a la carte, so in that sense, what these guys are asking is not only fair, but culturally overdue: If you want to see them, then say so. To me they're just being pragmatic.
But if it's not for you -- for core reasons, not arbitrary ones -- then it's not for you. Either give it a try, or tell these men upfront that you're not comfortable being the one to initiate, so they can know where you stand and decide whether that's OK with them.

Seattle & Surrounding Honeymoon Stories
Jennifer & Blake
First word of advice, pay attention to what your fiancée says about any future vacations. When Jennifer and I got engaged, I remember her mentioning that she wanted to see whales. Therefore, with our limited budget and having the knowledge of her interest in whales and my interest in a honeymoon, we quickly decided that the Pacific Northwest was calling our name.
Kathryn & Mark
We tossed around locations like Sonoma Valley in California, but one of us had been there before. Mark suggested Canada, but that didn't really sound like an exciting honeymoon location. But on a plane ride back from a friend's wedding, I discovered an article in a travel magazine detailing a three-day trip to Victoria, British Columbia. After reading about the beautiful climate, exciting attractions, relaxing atmosphere, and artsy vibe, I was sold. Neither of us liked big crowds or were crazy party people, so the more we learned about Victoria, the more we knew it was our type of place.

Headset and Book
Buy Now...
These are described as headphones for DJ and professional applications. Everything about them is quality. Starting with the bar linking the earpieces, good quality moulded plastic with a rubber insert on the top to stop sweaty fingers slipping, the underside is padded so those with less padding (or being crude bald) are still comfortable. Each earpiece moves through 120 degrees giving a snug fit for all. The padding on the inside round the ears gives a good fit and even though during my tests I wore them for many hours I never felt at all uncomfortable.
Down the connecting lead around 50cm from the right earpiece is a nice rotary volume control to allow to get just the volume you want without affecting the master volume in any way. There is then another 2.5 metres of lead culminating in a gold plated 3.5mm jack. A 6.3mm gold plated adapter is also supplied so you can plug into professional equipment as well as home.
However it is all about sound and this is superb there is a powerful 50mm neodymium driver unit for great bass response. The other figures that matter are 107dB sensitivity, 20Hz-20kHz frequency response and perhaps best of all almost no external sounds seep through so you can really switch off from the world and totally absorb yourself in whatever you are listening to.
These are not cheap headphones – quality never is apart from this case – doing my Internet searches found the TDK MP-200 at a best price of only £9.99 from the first link below. These are a bargain.
Computing for the Older and Wiser
This is a book that is basically for those (like myself) of mature years. The first thing you notice is that it is ring bound meaning you can lay it flat on any page anywhere through the 380 pages. It is written by Adrian Arnold with a sub title of Getting Up And Running On Your Home PC!
There are four parts, Basic Computing, Email and the Internet, Advanced Tutorials and Appendices.
Lets start with the latter Appendix A is a list of likely useful websites (ten pages). Appendix B is a rather good Glossary (fifteen pages) and finally an eight page index.
The introduction is where you decide if you are going to buy the book and this does a good job of convincing those who wonder if they are just too old to get into computing.
The first eight chapters (125 pages) start right from the beginning how to use a keyboard and mouse etc. Each chapter ends with a quiz ensuring that the basics have been grasped.
The next 125 pages cover the Internet and email with the same format (chapters 9 to 17) and even some slightly more experienced users will pick up a nugget ot two here.
The next 70 pages (Advanced Tutorials) are only advanced for the novice covering such things as basic photo manipulation, making your word processing output look better and then protecting yourself from the nasty things that can lurk in unwanted email. Finally getting more out of the Internet and making it work for you.
If you have a parent or uncle/aunt who needs to move into the 21st Century with a basic PC available for around £200 and this book at under £13 once everything is connected it will not be long before you are getting emails rather than letters, and we all know it's a lot easier to answer an email than a letter.
Computing for the Older and Wiser ISBN 978-0-470-77099-3 has a UK price of £12.99. It is currently available for only £8.44 including free delivery from the link below.
