 How is a domain name like a cow?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
The fact remains, however, that at the present time domain names are hotly contested; the courts and the legal profession have no choice but to attempt to understand the purpose and function of domain names, and to try to develop sensible principles according to which domain name disputes will be decided and resolved.
As it happens, the domain name owner and Hasbro have agreed to a series of extensions of time and the domain name has not yet been cut off, although at any particular moment there has always been some date certain in the future at which the domain name would be cut off.
Many of the highly visible domain name lawsuits(54) are ones in which the triggering event was the act of the trademark owner attempting for the first time to register a domain name, only to find that the domain name had been registered by someone else some months or years ago.

 The History of the Lindars Family
The origin that currently has the most weight is that the name LINDARS is of Swedish descent, or certainly of Scandinavian origin.
For anyone speculating that the name changes are in fact different families, it does clearly show in the parish registers that the same person can have a different spelling as their life goes on.
This means that LINDARS is the name passed down from the descendants of followers of Richard the Lion Heart and the Crusaders.

 Puzzle of corn's origins coming together
MONTREAL -- The scientific puzzle pieces are fitting together to form a definitive picture of the origin of corn, says a Duke University plant geneticist who has proposed that the world's most important food crop originated in an ancient cross between two grasses.
Mary Eubanks described the latest evidence that corn, or maize, originated as a cross between teosinte and gamagrass, or Tripsacum, in a talk Friday, April 2, 2004, at a symposium on maize held at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology (www.saa.org) in Montreal.
Understanding the genetic origins of corn -- now the world's single largest food crop-- is important both for production of new varieties and for preserving corn's genetic heritage, said Eubanks.

 Whitwick Pubs
The pub and adjacent cottages are known to have been in the ownership of Benjamin Charles Ward until his death in 1890.
The pub was actually built on top of an older one, the Joiners Arms, and the ground floor rooms of the original pub are now the cellars of the existing building.
A name plaque bearing the pub name helpfully gives a date of 1882 and it seems likely the buildings were remodelled and probably joined together at that time to form the present pub (and the windows and details made symmetrical).

 ebi-PubMed Central: An NIH-Operated Site for Electronic Distribution of Life Sciences Research Reports)
If, after review, the report is accepted for publication in either its original or a revised form, the edited version would be posted immediately in E-biomed, and its title and list of authors would appear for a fixed period in the current table of contents for that journal.
As originally described, anyone, anywhere, who is connected to Internet can go to a single site at any time and look at the entire biomedical research literature---to search with pertinent terms, inspect the offerings of favorite journals, and download articles for subsequent study.
E-biomed is a provisional name for the proposed electronic publishing system, not a URL or e-mail address; because it has gained some currency in discussion of the proposal, it should probably not be discarded until an international advisory board is formed and a final name adopted.

But many English pub names involve interesting corruptions: The Goat and Compasses is apparently a corrupted version of the phrase ‘God encompasseth us’, the Oyster Reach pub in Ipswich, England, which was called the Ostrich, before historians informed the owners of the original name.
An excellent book was published about ten years ago on the origins of English pub names.
Note: The name ‘Pink Nanny’ is not gender-specific, nor is it intended to reinforce outdated modes of gender-matching children by color, and nor is it meant to imply the exclusion of non-Caucasian nannies of either gender.

This is almost as general a statement that you can get about the origins of an Australian wine.
While on the topic of labels, you should be aware that many wines bearing a single varietal name can legally contain up to fifteen percent of other varieties.
If the wine is labelled as a blend, then the variety with the largest percentage composition should be named first, for example wine labelled Cabernet Merlot, should contain a greater percentage of Cabernet than of Merlot.

You will also have observed the three languages, Old Norse, the language of the Vikings(Norwegian variety), Gaelic, language of the Scots of Ireland and Scotland(Alba) and Brythonic, the language of the Brythons, of whom the Picts were a branch.
Most place name experts and historians claim that what I describe as Old Norse is really Old English, or a dialect of it, because they claim southern Scotland was settled by Old English speakers in the 7th./8th.
It is the basis for innumerable mis-translations of Scots place names or non-translations, condemning thousands of names to the fate of anonymity.

They changed the name of their product from "Castor" to "Castor JDO." They started using the JDO name with their product before the JDO expert group released its first public draft -- but their product does not implement the JDO standard.
I am one of the original members of the JDO expert group, and I can assure you that Exolab was not a member of the JDO expert group.
It would seem that Exolab is using the names JDO, Java Data Objects, and OQL in order to capitalize on the recognition of the ODMG and JDO names.

 Portland - Biddy McGraw's Pub
Basic, simple pub food, although there are now some Irish-style main course platters, thanks to the bigger kitchen at the Glisan location.
As the name (and the copious pours of Guinness and the Gerry Adams/Sinn Fein poster) might imply, Biddy's is very much an Irish-style local, with distinctly Republican leanings.
In true Irish fashion, the owners allow a fair bit of high-spirited discussion, but don't brook rudeness or unsocial behaviour, and they aren't at all bashful about their pride in their Irish origins.
