Kale Chipping: Healthy Vegetable Snack
Cheesy kale chips are yummy.
Despite its many health benefits, I wasn't a fan of kale.
Impossible to cook or chew into submission and cheerfully green no matter what you do to it — I had pretty much decided kale was permanently off my menu. But then I heard about kale chips. People kept telling me how much their kids loved them so, not to be outdone by a pack of preschoolers, I decided it was time to belly up to the kitchen counter and try my hand at kale chips.
My husband has always been a healthy eater so, in our kitchen, buried in a cupboard somewhere, was a food dehydrator. This is a bonus. If you have a dehydrator, by all means use it. (if not, your kale chips will still be delicious if they're done in a very low oven.)
A dehydrator will dry the kale without your having to pay any attention to it and even better than that, dehydrated kale chips are considered raw food — a whole other subset of healthy eating. You can get really smug about your kale chips if they're dehydrated. When I started out, I figured that would be about all I got out of the exercise. Boy, was I in for a shock.
If you like the seaweed on the outside of sushi, you'll like kale chips, in fact, sushi's harder to develop the taste for than kale chips. They melt in your mouth and they taste, mostly, of whatever it is you put on them before you dry them out.
The preschoolers are right, kale chips are yummy. They're healthy, low-cal, low fat and high in every nutrient you can think of. They taste great, they're full of fiber, they have a satisfying crunch and if you like cheese puffs, there's a kale chip you'll love. Just think, the next time you want to sit down with nothing but a bowl of chips for dinner, you could actually be doing your body a favor. What could be better?
Here are two ways to make kale chips. When you've done it once, you'll quickly think up your own.
"Cheesy" Vegan Kale Chips
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste) — available in the natural foods section of your grocery store or at your local food co-op.
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast — available at health food stores or the food co-op.
3 tablespoons soy sauce — I use kikoman or organic shoyu. It's important to use a light soy that is authentically made, the stuff made by American companies is too thick and syrupy, it won't work.
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Put all of these ingredients in the bottom of a big bowl. Then wash a bunch of kale and strip the leafy part off the stalks. Tear these into chip-sized pieces. Dump them into the bowl with your mixture in the bottom. Wearing rubber gloves, massage the dressing into the kale. Kale is sturdy. Really work the stuff in. Pretend you're kneading bread and massage the leaves until you've reduced the size of your kale pile by about half.
Arrange the dressed leaves on a parchment covered cookie sheet and bake in a very low oven (200 degrees maximum) for 3 hours or until your chips are crispy.
If you're using a dehydrator, arrange these on the dehydrator trays and set the dial to "vegetable" leave it overnight or all day while you're at work.
Plain Kale Chips
2/3 cup olive oil
1/8 - 1/4 cup salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Large bunch of kale
Follow the instructions above but substitute this mixture for the "cheesy" dressing.
See? Easy. Eat your vegetables. Make your Mom happy.

Small is Beautiful: Lucia's Latin Kitchen
Lucia, the woman of the kitchen.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Thursday night it started to rain. Driving home from Lee to North Adams, stopping somewhere for a quick, inexpensive dinner seemed like a pretty good idea. On the advice of a friend in Lenox, we decided to try Lucia's Latin Kitchen.
Convention has it, you should not make up your mind about a restaurant until you've eaten there at least twice. However, as it turns out, my partner-in-life and I had already tried Lucia's delicious "home-cooking" at last year's Northern Berkshire Food Festival. Thursday night was actually our second time trying Lucia's cuisine.
Open for just 18 months, Lucia's Latin Kitchen specializes in Ecuadorian food but Lucia also makes plain "Latin home cooking." If you're in the mood for handmade tortillas, this would be a great place to go.
It was very hard to decide what to order on Lucia's menu. There's a lot offered, from paella-like rice dishes to roasted pork or lamb, to breaded shrimp, but we both chose beef dishes and were not disappointed.
Lucia's cooking is homey in the best way. Perfectly cooked rice accompanied my wonderfully seasoned, grilled sirloin. The rice was topped with four pieces of fried plantain, a staple in the countries where it grows. Plantain tastes pleasantly like a mild, less-sweet banana but holds its shape well when cooked and is generally considered a starch. The beans beside the rice were delicious as well, tiny pieces of roast pork floated in the savory sauce surrounding perfectly cooked navy beans — all of it obviously cooked from scratch. The beans and rice alone would have made a great weekday meal, especially accompanied by Lucia's citrus, greens and onions salad, a piece of bread and some plantains.
My partner's dish included french fries and rice, and also came with two fried eggs on the side. His steak was also cut thin, seasoned and grilled but unlike mine, it was topped with stewed onions and tomatoes. I'm not sure he would have ordered it under any other circumstances but as we came into the tiny room, a table full of joggers were tucking into this dinner and it looked too good to miss.
As we began our meal, our server brought a little dish of hot sauce to the table. It looked innocent enough, a little watery with visible herbs and onions floating in the dish, but if you go, (and you should) a little of this sauce goes a very long way. I had a little dab of it on my rice, it was tasty but a bit over my hot tolerance. I was glad I hadn't slavered my steak in the stuff.
Top, a belly-filling steak and eggs for supper. Left, enjoying a meal.
Prices were extremely reasonable. Our meal for two came in at just under $30. You'd be very hard pressed to spend more than $50.
We accompanied our meal with Mexican soda, his in tamerind flavor and mine in apple. Happily full, we set off on our way north without dessert but I am saving up my appetite for next time, which will be sooner than later given the quality of the food.
Lucia's is tiny, the kitchen is wide open to the rest of the room and the whole place seats maybe 15 on a very busy night. As people discover this place (where you can get a whole roasted chicken with all the trimmings for under $20.) it is guaranteed to become more and more crowded. So get there before the summer people arrive and don't blab it all over the place, OK? I'm kind of attached to the corner table by the window.
Lucia's Latin Kitchen is located at 239 Onota St., Pittsfield; 413-442-4440

Outstanding in the Field Planning Berkshires Dinner
Executive Chef Brian Alberg and his crew from The Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge will be manning the field kitchen and presenting a five-course meal to 130 to 150 guests at the nation's first community-supported agriculture farm.
The dining experience on wheels has traveled around the nation for more than a decade promoting local food and agriculture, reconnecting diners to the land and the origins of their food and honoring local farmers and food artisans. The organization donates to a number of farm- and food-related groups whose missions align with those of OITF.
"We are so fortunate to live in an area where our community is connected to the land, and our chefs are interested in supporting local farmers and food producers," said Alberg, who is well known for his efforts in promoting and showcasing locally grown produce and is president of Berkshire Grown. "This dinner is a perfect forum to showcase our efforts and we are psyched to see the bus stop here on Sept. 15."
Farmers Elizabeth Keen and Al Thorp have been growing Certified Naturally Grown produce on the 17-acre Indian Line Farm since 1997 primarily for the CSA but they also sell to the Great Barrington Farmers Market, restaurants and some local stores.
OITF organizes as many as 90 events a year and traveled to Europe last year. Ingredients for each OITF meal are almost all local and generally prepared by a celebrated chef of the region.
Tickets to the four-course, family style dinner on Saturday, Sept. 15, are $220 per person and includes hors d'oeuvres, farm tour and dessert. They go on sale on March 20; more information can be found here.
Beginning at noon Sept. 15, a team from The Red Lion Inn and Berkshire Farm & Table will be streaming live behind-the-scenes coverage, offering a backstage pass to this celebrated event. Media coverage will include blog posts, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter updates.

Maple Madness
The sign at Ioka Valley Farm in Hancock. Below, mini corn muffins and maple butter, and the entrance to the Calf-A.
At the rate the weather's been going you've got about a week left to get out and see one in full swing.
That's because making syrup requires specific conditions that are closely tied to weather patterns in the Northeast.
In order for the sap to run, daytime temperatures need to be above 40 degrees and at night the mercury needs to dip to freezing or below. You may have noticed, in the last few days we've had no trouble hitting the 40-degree mark but that freezing level seems to be fading pretty fast.
Once the trees begin to bud, the sap may still run but it becomes bitter and unfit for syrup.
If you want to get out to the bush, have some pancakes and watch the syrup being made, you'd better move fast. Our region has a few choices of farms offering maple breakfasts (or "maple meals") and of course, if you're feeling flush, there's the Berkshire Grown Maple Dinner coming up on March 26 at the Red Lion Inn. Tickets range from $65 to over $100 per person. Contact Berkshire Grown for details.
For the basic maple breakfast here are a few choices:
Mill Brook Sugarhouse is located in Lenox, call 413-298-3473, for information.
Ioka Valley Farm serves "maple meals" until 3:30 in the afternoon. Perfect if you like to sleep late and take your time on weekends. Their corn muffins and maple butter are super-yummy. They have a website, too: www.iokavalleyfarm.com..
South Face Farm is open until 3:00 until Easter Sunday. Their webpage is here. They serve whole wheat pancakes as well as the usual white flour, making South Face a good choice for the health conscious among us.
You can't have breakfast at Blue Heron Farm but there's probably somewhere near Charlemont that will serve you a pretty dandy breakfast and Blue Heron makes certified organic maple slurple, (syrup) that's a steal at $52 a gallon (a gallon contains 11 pounds of syrup — check your local market and do the math, best I've seen is around $7 a pound.) Their website is here.
In Shelburne there's Gould's, open until 2 p.m. and right on the Mohawk Trail (they have a website but it's not terribly helpful; you're better off calling 413-625-6170). And also in Shelburne there's Hager's, also on the Mohawk Trail and while I've never been, their menu looks like a real bargain, you can see it here.
Hager's thinks like real farmers, so if you want breakfast, you'll have to get there before 11 a.m.
I can't vouch for Davenport Farm but they've been tapping trees for 99 years so they must be doing something right. They serve breakfast but don't have a website: call 413) 625-2866. They're not on the Trail either, you'll find them at 111 Tower Road, Shelburne.
So there's a sample of what's on offer. A trip to a maple farm is a great way to get up close and personal with springtime but it doesn't last long. Get 'em while they're running.
Hoses full of sap run straight into the sugar shack at Ioka Farm. Right, enjoying a maple meal; the kettle inside the shack.

Mrs. Miniver (William Wyler, 1942). Nobody's best work, whatever chord it may have hit during the war. Greer Garson married the actor who played her son, Richard Ney, which makes you wonder about her taste in men.
Free Radicals: A History of Experimental Film (Pip Chodorov, 2012). It is in fact "a" history, not the history; this personal view omits lots of important things but taps Chodorov's personal connections to people like Stan Brakhage and Ken Jacobs; it's ingratiating, if not definitive. (full review 1/18)
The Law in These Parts (Ra'anan Alexandrowicz, 2011). Documentary parade of Israeli military judges, questioned by a very careful filmmaker about the balance of legal rights in the occupied territories. Even if – no, especially if – you are a strong supporter of Israel, this is dispiriting. (full review 1/18)
Thanks to the Vashon Arts and Lectures Series for inviting me to speak last night; atmospheric setting and nice people. Check them out if you're on the island anytime soon.

Sometimes a lengthy document like the Beige Book, the Federal Reserve's collection of anecdotes about the economy, is best viewed in a word cloud.
And this word cloud — removing a few neutral words like "reported" and "district" — portrays a relatively positive picture that's consistent with all 12 Federal Reserve districts reporting growth.
Words like "increased" and "growth" show up more frequently in the report, with "continued" and "remained" also popular. It's harder to find negative words like "slowed" or even "flat."
That's to be expected with expectations of pretty decent growth in the April-through-June period. Earlier on Tuesday, the Federal Reserve reported industrial production grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.5% in the second quarter — the best showing since the third quarter of 2010.

Pregnant woman killed during strip-club break-in
Investigators are trying to find out who killed a pregnant woman during a break-in at a southwest Houston strip club Saturday, according to the Houston Police Department.
Maria Lucrecia, 27, was found dead from blunt force trauma after police responded to a 5:25 p.m. call at Eclipse Gentlemen's Club in the 6800 block of South Gessner near Bellaire Boulevard, said police spokesman John Cannon.
"She was working as a cleaning lady at the nightclub and an unknown suspect or suspects gained entry into the business and then killed her," Cannon said.
About $1,000 was stolen from a cash register.
Police do not have any suspect descriptions or known witnesses.
Anyone with information is asked to contact HPD homicide detectives at 713-308-3600 or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.

A nightclub without LED Video Wall is boring and static. Large TV's you buy for your home are for sports bars. You can't use those! Electrify your nightclub and make the environment a digital canvas that is ever changing and never gets old. Because truly, that is why nightclubs have a shelf life, because the environment gets boring. Who wants to go to the same old club they went to 5 years ago. They would if the inside was constantly changing. A digital environment allows you to create mood and marry the digital to the audio creating an environment that plays on that sense as well. LED Video Walls are high impact, high-end and are extremely simple to connect too and we can cover your walls, your ceiling, create shapes, twists and even 3Dimensional content to make your nightclub an experience people talk about..
This is 176" on the diagonal. It's huge! Make your nightclub stand apart from the rest. LED Wall Panels are changing the entire landscape of how different media is viewed in many different venues. Seamless interlocking systems are quickly taking over the large format video world because of their ability to exceed the size of LCD/Flat Panel TV production capabilities and now their quality levels are undeniably gorgeous.
This system can be easily expanded. There is no TV on the market today, that you can make larger. You end up having to buy a new one. This system can be increased in size later simply by adding seamless panels to it. The is a 3 panel x 5 panel system that make up this 176" diagonal screen. You can easily upgrade this later and turn this into a 4 panel x 7 panel system. The video controller is still the same so you only need to add the panels. It is simple.
This system not only allows you to push up cable or Directv content, it also allows you the ability to add up to 12 different inputs/delivery methods such as computer for youtube viewing, online movie streaming and the list goes on. This system is complete pricing which means it comes with the LED wall panels, the video controller, cables (both CAT5 and Power) as well as all of the mounting hardware needed.
If installation is needed, we have local techs and can estimate all costs up front so there are no hidden fees for your budgeting purposes. We also offer service plans to maintain your system to ensure you are get the most life out of your system. Just call us and ask for a free installation or service estimate.
Don't be fooled by manufacturers that do not offer warranties and long term service plans. We partner with our customers and are proud of how we serve focused on a long term and ever evolving future. We help our customers achieve the most out of their systems.
1. This is a 6mm system, which means the distance between each LED is 6mm so attendees should be 25' or more, away for optimal image clarity.
2. These panels can hot swap. This is an important cost saving fact. Many competing systems do not hot swap. Hot swap means if, for some reason something struck and damaged a panel and it needed replacing, hot swap allows you to just remove that one panel without having to take all the panels above it apart. This saves a lot of labor time and more importantly labor costs when replacing.
When buying from LED Tranquility you get the following with your system:
1. 3 year manufacturer warranty (INCLUDED) on all equipment (specific to manufacturing defects)
2. 24/7 customer service by phone (INCLUDED) with any of our trained LED Tranquility technicians (for the life of the product)
3. A hot swap system (INCLUDED) of superior quality that saves you money long term
4. Peace of mind that you bought from a great US based company that is here to support you
These systems come with full installation instruction and can be installed by experienced A/V technicians. IF YOU WANT LED TRANQUILITY TO INSTALL THIS SYSTEM FOR YOU (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) PLEASE CALL FOR AN ESTIMATE AS ESTIMATES FOR INSTALLATION ARE BASED ON LOCATION AND CANNOT BE PRICED THROUGH A WEBSITE.

Posts »Tags
Tags provide a useful way to group related posts together and to quickly tell readers what a post is about. Tags also make it easier for people to find your content. Tags are similar to, but more specific than, categories. The use of tags is completely optional.
For more information on the differences between tags and categories please check out this support doc.
Depending on the theme and widgets you have activated, tags can be displayed at the top or bottom of posts, on the individual post view, and/or in the sidebar. You can assign multiple tags per post.
Adding Tags via the Tags Module
You can assign and/or add new tags to posts before you publish them using the Categories & Tags module to the right of the post editor:
Add tags one at a time by typing in your text then hitting the Enter/Return key on your keyboard after typing each tag, or add multiple tags at a time by separating each with a comma then hitting Enter/Return when you're done.
After hitting Enter/Return, you'll see the tags you've added highlighted in blue and listed at the top of the module:
If you've previously added tags to other posts on your blog, a drop-down menu will appear as your type to let you scroll through the tags you've already used. Click on any tag to assign it to the post:
To remove a tag, click on the X to the right of the tag.
Adding and managing Tags via WP Admin
The instructions from this guide are referring to the WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site's url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)
You can add new tags and manage existing ones from Posts -> Tags in your dashboard.
You will be presented with a list of your existing tags and a method of adding new tags.
You can add a new tag by filling out the fields:
- Tag name – As expected, the name of your tag.
- Description – Describes what the tag is for. This may be displayed in certain themes as, for example, a tooltip (shown when you hover over the tag).
Managing Tags
The Posts -> Tags page in your dashboard shows a list of tags you've used, as well as the name and number of posts belonging to each tag. If you move your mouse over a tag a set of options will appear allowing you to edit, quick edit, or delete that tag:
If you click on Quick Edit the tag will change into an edit box and you can rename the tag quickly:
If you click on Edit you will be taken to a separate page where you can edit the name and description. This functions exactly the same as in adding a tag.
Clicking on Delete will delete that tag.
Bulk Actions
If you have a lot of tags that you want to delete, you can use the bulk actions feature. Select each tag you want to delete using the checkbox to the left of the tag name.
If you want to select all tags click the checkbox at the top:
From the bulk actions menu select Delete and then click Apply. The tags will be deleted.
Converting Tags to Categories
If you change your mind about using tags and instead want to convert them to categories, you can do so using the tag to category converter. At the bottom of the manage tags screen is a link to the tag to category converter.
Clicking this will take you to the import page. Here you can click on Categories and Tags Converter:
Clicking this will take you to a screen where you can select which tags to convert to categories. Make your selection, and click on convert tags to categories.
Note: Your tags will be removed and categories will be assigned to the posts that used to be in those tags. If you want to convert your categories back to tags, please check out converting categories to tags.
Topic Listings
Your posts will appear in the topic listings of any tags or categories you use. Therefore, assigning tags and categories to your post increases the chance that other WordPress.com users will see your content.
However, you don't want irrelevant content showing up on the topic listings or search, and neither do we. That's why we limit the number of tags and categories that can be used on a public tag listing. Five to 15 tags (or categories, or a combination of the two) is a good number to add to each of your posts. The more categories you use, the less likely it is that your post will be selected for inclusion in the topic listings. Learn more about Topics here.
Still confused?
Help us improve:
We're always looking to improve our documentation. If this page didn't answer your question or left you wanting more, let us know! We love hearing your feedback. For support, please use the forums or contact support form. Thanks!

Hey Larry! Are you seeking industry actors for the Darkness Live? I have done it for two years in the past. Who would I talk to?
hey sent you a pm can u delete the chair screamer thread?
Hi Larry, I know you're very busy so I'll keep this brief, it seems every time I start a new thread IF I become slightly long winded I unknowingly am logged out. I just wasted my time making a post! I was in the Halloween Chat section. How do I keep this annoying thing from happening? Needless to say I'm not happy at all!
Hi Larry, it's been a couple years now since I was last on here. I need to change both my profile info plus I'd like to upload a few pics. Having difficulty with my phone, do I need to be on an actual computer?

Network Troubleshooting Tools
by Joseph D. Sloan
1.6. Packet Analyzers
Even with the tools described in our previous segments, the real limitation with tcpdump is interpreting the data. For many uses, tcpdump may be all you need. But if you want to examine the data within packets, a packet sniffer is not enough. You need a packet analyzer. A large number of packet analyzers are available at tremendous prices. But before you start spending money, you should consider ethereal.
1.6.1. ethereal
ethereal is available both as an X Windows program for Unix systems and as a Microsoft Windows program. It can be used as a capture tool and as an analysis tool. It uses the same capture engine and file format as tcpdump, so you can use the same filter syntax when capturing traffic, and you can use ethereal to analyze tcpdump files. Actually, ethereal supports two types of filters, capture filters based on tcpdump and display filters used to control what you are looking at. Display filters use a different syntax and are described later in this section.
22.214.171.124. Using ethereal
Usually ethereal will be managed entirely from a windowing environment. While it can be run with command-line options, I've never encountered a use for these. (There is also a text-based version, tethereal.) When you run ethereal, you are presented with a window with three initially empty panes. The initial screen is similar to Figure 1-1 except the panes are empty. (These figures are for the Windows implementation of ethereal, but these windows are almost identical to the Unix version.) If you have a file you want to analyze, you can select File Open. You can either load a tcpdump file created with the -w option or a file previously saved from ethereal.
Figure 1-1 ethereal
(Click image for larger view in a new window)
To capture data, select Capture Start. You will be presented with a Capture Preferences screen like the one shown in Figure 1-2 (below). If you have multiple interfaces, you can select which one you want to use with the first field. The Count: field is used to limit the number of packets you will collect. You can enter a capture filter, using tcpdump syntax, in the Filter: field. If you want your data automatically saved to a file, enter that in the File: field. The fifth field allows you to limit the number of bytes you collect from the packet. This can be useful if you are interested only in header information and want to keep your files small. The first of the four buttons allows you to switch between promiscuous and nonpromiscuous mode. With the latter, you'll collect only traffic sent to or from your machine rather than everything your machine sees. Select the second button if you want to see traffic as it is captured. The third button selects automatic scrolling. Finally, the last button controls name resolution. Name resolution really slows ethereal down. Don't enable name resolution if you are going to display packets in real time! Once you have everything set, click on OK to begin capturing data.
Figure 1-2 ethereal Capture Preferences
While you are capturing traffic, ethereal will display a Capture window that will give you counts for the packets captured in real time. This window is shown in Figure 1-3. If you didn't say how many frames you wanted to capture on the last screen, you can use the Stop button to end capture.
Figure 1-3 ethereal Capture
Once you have finished capturing data, you'll want to go back to the main screen shown in Figure 1-1. The top pane displays a list of the captured packets. The lower panes display information for the packet selected in the top pane. The packet to be dissected is selected in the top pane by clicking on it. The second pane then displays a protocol tree for the packet, while the bottom pane displays the raw data in hex and ASCII. The layout of ethereal is shown in Figure 1-1. You'll probably want to scroll through the top pane until you find the traffic of interest. Once you have selected a packet, you can resize the windows as needed. Alternately, you can select Display Show Packet in New Window to open a separate window, allowing you to open several packets at once.
The protocol tree basically displays the structure of the packet by analyzing the data and determining the header type and decoding accordingly. Fields can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on the plus or minus next to the field, respectively. In the figure, the Internet Protocol header has been expanded and the Type-Of-Service (TOS) field in turn has been expanded to show the various values of the TOS flags. Notice that the raw data for the field selected in the second pane is shown in bold in the bottom pane. This works well for most protocols, but if you are using some unusual protocol, like other programs, ethereal will not know what to do with it.
ethereal has several other useful features. For example, you can select a TCP packet from the main pane and then select Tools Follow TCP Stream. This tool collects information from all the packets in the TCP session and displays the information. Unfortunately, while convenient at times, this feature makes it just a little too easy to capture passwords or otherwise invade users' privacy.
The Tools Summary gives you the details for data you are looking at. An example is shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4 ethereal Summary
There are a number of additional features that I haven't gone into here. But what I described here is more than enough for most simple tasks.
220.127.116.11. Display filters
Display filters allow you to selectively display data that has been captured. At the bottom of the window shown in Figure 1-1, there is a box for creating display filters. As previously noted, display filters have their own syntax. The ethereal documentation describes this syntax in great detail. In this case, I have entered http to limit the displayed traffic to web traffic. I could just as easily enter any number of other different protocols -- ip, udp, icmp, arp, dns, etc.
The real power of ethereal 's display filters comes when you realize that you don't really need to understand the syntax of display filters to start using them. You can select a field from the center pane and then select Display Match Selected, and ethereal will construct and apply the filter for you. Of course, not every field is useful, but it doesn't take much practice to see what works and what doesn't work.
The primary limitation of this approach comes in constructing compound filters. If you want to capture all the traffic to or from a computer, you won't be able to match a single field. But you should be able to discover the syntax for each of the pieces. Once you know that ip.src==188.8.131.52 matches all IP traffic with 18.104.22.168 as its source and that ip.dst==126.96.36.199 matches all IP traffic to 220.127.116.11, it isn't difficult to come up with the filter you need, ip.src==184.108.40.206 or ip.dst==220.127.116.11. Display filters are really very intuitive, so you should have little trouble learning how to use them.
Perhaps more than any other tool described in this book, ethereal is constantly being changed and improved. While this book was being written, new versions were appearing at the rate of about once a month. So you should not be surprised if ethereal looks a little different from what is described here. Fortunately, ethereal is a well-developed program that is very intuitive to use. You should have little trouble going on from here.
The next segment from Network Troubleshooting Tools will cover the Dark Side of Packet Capture.

Matt Jones notched three services aces in the third set against Stevens (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard men's volleyball team recorded its first sweep of the season Saturday night, downing Stevens, 3-0. The Crimson improve to 5-1 overall, its best start since the 2004 season.
In the first set neither team could find an edge with the teams trading points through the first 38 points until the score was tied at 19. Kills by Kyle Rehkemper and Michael Owen helped to open up a 22-19 Crimson advantage, forcing a Ducks timeout. Stevens would fight back, evening the score at 23, but a Chris Gibbons kill and Rehkemper service ace sealed the set victory for Harvard. Five Crimson tallied at least two kills in the opening set.
The early portion of the second set mimicked the first with the score coming to a tie at 15. The Ducks used a kill from Jonathan Landis and two Harvard attack errors to open a three-point cushion. Coming out of a Harvard timeout, Gibbons and Matt Jones each knocked home kills, while the Ducks committed three consecutive attack errors to give the Crimson a 21-20 lead. Harvard would take the second set following a pair of kills from Jones and another from Gibbons, 25-22.
Harvard opened things up in the third set, jumping out to a 15-10 lead behind two Jones service aces and three Rehkemper kills. Stevens stormed back though, and behind solid hitting from SteFan PremDas, the Ducks grabbed a 25-24 lead. Jones took over though, slamming down two kills set up by Rob Lothman before striking the match-clinching service ace.
Jones finished the match with a team-high 15 kills and an attacking percentage of 35.7. He also contributed five digs and three of Harvard's eight service aces in the match. Chris Gibbons swatted nine kills for the Crimson to go with his 10 digs.
Harvard will host Springfield Monday evening at the Malkin Athletic Center. Match time is slated for 7 p.m.

Who Knows How Much You Make?
by Him • April 20, 2012 • Tagged: family, friends, income  • Comments
image: J Wynia
What would you rather tell people: your favorite sexual position or your salary? Which would you rather people knew?
Of the topics of conversation that seem to remain forever taboo, revealing how much you make will always be controversial. If you make more than your companions, then they might think that you're bragging. On the other hand, if you make less than them, you'll forever be sizing them up and comparing yourself to them. However, there's got to be some people in your life who know how much you make.
Does My Wife Know How Much I Make?
Of course Her knows how much I make. Lately it has become a point of contention because my salary has doubled in the past 7 years and she has only received modest pay raises of 25% of her original salary in the same time period. While Her has one more Master's degree than I do, our fields of work are vastly different. Her is beginning to feel like she's not pulling her weight in this marriage, but I don't feel that way. Our paychecks are combined into one pot of money so it doesn't matter whose dollars are going where.
Do My Parents Know How Much I Make?
No way. Well, if I told my dad probably nothing would change and he would soon forget. But I've written extensively about how my mom asks me how much my bonuses are, tried to ask Her financial questions when I'm not there, buys herself a huge post-engagement ring, expects too much at Mother's Day, buys wine she doesn't even like, and expects money because we're asian. She already snoops around my life too much, and if she knew exactly how much my salary is or how much my bonuses are she'd be waaaay up all in my business.
Do My Friends Know How Much I Make?
None of my friends know how much I make. In fact, I'm not even sure what my friend's ballpark estimates of what my salary might be. This can be good or bad depending on which group of friends I'm with. I think that we all can guess by our living situations, the stuff in our houses, our cars (or lack thereof), and our vacations. I think that this is the category of people I least care about knowing my salary. Friends should be friends, no matter if I'm unemployed or if I'm a 1%'er.
Do My Coworkers Know How Much I Make?
Nope. I work at a small company and gossip is king. Everybody seems to be in everyone else's business, and not in a good way. My coworkers all seem to talk about each other behind each other's backs. Once during happy hour (oh the pre-parenting days) I got our office manager to divulge the information that new hires generally start at $30,000 per year. She didn't seem to regret telling me this as she didn't really get along with the new hires. Another time a senior executive accidentally left his W-2 form laying around and someone else found it. It turns out that this senior executive was making significantly more than the other senior executives at my company, and everyone thereafter tried to give that guy the shaft. He still works with us.
What about you? Who knows how much you make?

Contact: Anthony Horvath, 202-697-4623, email@example.com
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Policy Intersections Research Center is a new organization established to advocate for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Founded by pro-life advocate Anthony Horvath, the organization seeks to show that life issues and individual liberty are tightly bound, and government intrusion in one area tends to intrude in the other. A petition project invites others to join PIRC in bringing that perspective directly to legislators.
One of PIRC's initiatives is the "Life Unworthy of Life" project. PIRC commissioned a new translation of a book by two German professors called "Allowing the Destruction of Life Unworthy of Life." Originally published in 1920, the book proved to be a catalyst for the Holocaust. The authors, Karl Binding and Alfred Hoche, argued that people, and society itself, not only had the right, but even the duty, to end the suffering of lives "unworthy of life." They also noted that handicapped and mentally ill people were a burden on society. Few people realize that before millions of Jews were killed in concentration camps, hundreds of thousands of disabled and other "defective" people were killed in the infamous T4 Project, spurred on by Binding and Hoche's arguments.
Horvath, whose daughter was diagnosed with spina bifida at his wife's twenty week ultrasound, understands that some people believe his daughter's life is "unworthy of life." He hopes the new translation, available in both print and ebook formats, will call attention to troubling parallels between past considerations about the "worthiness" of a life, and present ones.The book will be available in print for the first time next week in Washington D.C. at PIRC's table in the March for Life convention hall.In addition to this, Athanatos Christian Ministries will have advance copies of Derek Elkin's award-winning fictional treatment of the T4 Project. The book, "Life Unworthy of Life," is told from the point of view of a doctor who discovers that he is tasked to dispose of "defective" people.
PIRC will be co-sponsoring Athanatos Christian Ministry's apologetics conference linking a defense of the Christian faith with the defense of life itself. Speakers include Steven Mosher, Gary Habermas and Greg Koukl. Registrations are accepted online or in person at the convention hall.
Anthony Horvath is available for interviews and can be reached at 202-697-4623 or email@example.com.

CyQUANT® Direct Cell Proliferation Assay
Metabolic activity is influenced by factors other than treatment, which can include cell type, confluence, media conditions and additives, temperature, and passage number. Compounds may also interfere with the enzymes that generate the metabolically based readout. For these reasons, a metabolic-based assay may not be ideal for some studies of cytotoxicity and proliferation. Improving upon the CyQUANT® family of cell proliferation assays, we have developed the CyQUANT® Direct Cell Proliferation Assay, with these benefits:
- More convenient workflow ideal for high-throughput screening—no washes, cell lysis, or temperature equilibrations required
- Measures independent of metabolic state of cells reducing risk for false positives
- Assess cell growth, cell viability, or compound toxicity in a range of applications
CyQUANT® Direct Cell Proliferation Assay—an ideal assay for high-throughput screening
The CyQUANT® Direct Cell Proliferation Assay kit consists of two components: a green fluorescent nucleic acid stain and a background suppression dye. Both components can be stored at room temperature for quick and convenient use. The nucleic acid dye is a live cell-permeable reagent that mainly concentrates in the nucleus of mammalian cells. The suppression dye is impermeable in live cells and suppresses "green" fluorescence, eliminating the need to perform wash steps (Figure 1). The combination of these two components results in an assay based on both DNA content and membrane integrity.
|Figure 1. CyQUANT® Direct assay protocol. The CyQUANT® Direct assay is a homogenous, lysis-free cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay designed for use with multi-well plates (96, 384, or 1,536 plate formats), making it ideal for high-throughput screening applications. The reagent is added directly to cells in complete medium, incubated for 30 to 60 min and read on standard plate readers.
With a dynamic range from less than 40 to more than 20,000 cells (approximately) depending on cell type and format, the CyQUANT® Direct assay can be used in either 96, 384, or 1,536-well microplate formats and is compatible with most HTS and HCS readers (Figure 2).
The fluorescence intensity plateaus within 30 to 60 minutes after reagent addition and the signal remains stable for more than 7 hours offering workflow convenience and robustness in projects with large sample numbers (Figure 3)
Figure 2. Linearity of CyQUANT® Direct assay signal. CHO cells were plated at densities of 0–20,000 per well in a 384-well microplate. Cells were labeled with CyQUANT® Direct according to the microtiter plate assay format protocol. Fluorescence intensities, measured with a fluorescence microplate reader using FITC filter set, varied linearly with respect to cell number of the range of approximately 40 to 20,000 cells. The inset shows the measurement range from 0–1,250 cells per well. The results shown represent averages of eight experiments per data point.
Figure 3. Stability of CyQUANT® Direct assay signal. CyQUANT® Direct 2x detection reagent was added to adherent CHO cells in serum-containing medium, and fluorescence was read from 5 minutes to 7.5 hours after reagent addition. Fluorescence signal intensity reached a plateau within 30–60 minutes of reagent addition, and remained stable for more than 7 hours.
The CyQUANT® Direct assay is based on a cell-permeant DNA-binding dye in combination with a background suppression reagent. As DNA content is highly regulated, cell number estimates are very accurate. The masking dye blocks staining of dead cells and cells with compromised cell membranes, causing only healthy cells to be stained. Therefore, the CyQUANT® Direct assay measures proliferation as well as cytotoxicity. The concordance of the CyQUANT® Direct assay with cytotoxicity assays based on cell metabolism or energy states is excellent (Figure 4). Moreover, recent studies using diverse sets of cytotoxic compounds and assay types have shown that cell number (proliferation) is among the most sensitive indicators of cytotoxicity.
|Figure 4. Cytotoxicity measurements using the CyQUANT® Direct assay. Measurements of cytotoxicity differences across different cell types were performed using the CyQUANT® Direct assay. Hep-G2, Jurkat, human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC), and human pulmonary aortic smooth muscle cells (HPASMC) were seeded in 384-well plates at a density of 5,000 cells per well with 30 µL medium containing 10% FBS. Following incubation at 37°C for 48 hours with increasing concentrations of Tamoxifen, 30 µL of CyQUANT® Direct reagent was added into each well. Fluorescence measurements were made after 60 minutes. Fluorescence intensities were normalized to DMSO alone treatment, and IC50 curves were generated. The results shown represent averages of readings from eight wells per data point. As shown in the figure, the two primary cell types (HASMC and HPASMC) were significantly more sensitive to Tamoxifen than two transformed cell lines, adherent Hep-G2, and suspension Jurkat cells.

4-H programs have something for everyone, including students with special needs.
New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service agents in Cibola, Torrance and Sandoval counties are providing programs for special needs students.
Wendy Brown, Cibola County program director, home economist and 4-H agent, saw the need to develop curriculum and project units for special needs people when she joined NMSU's faculty in 2008.
"Since I had worked with special needs children for 15 years, I realized we needed to do this special 4-H program right away," Brown said of the program that has been meeting each week for the past four years. "I approached Cibola County School District's life skills teachers Rachal Reddington and Gae Zeller to suggest we do the program, and they agreed that the curriculum for the life skills class for the high school students and the young adult program for people ages 18 to 22 goes hand-in-hand with the 4-H projects."
With that collaboration, the Special Chef program was born.
"We are lucky to have this program available to our school district," Reddington said. "It's a great program. It is highly beneficial for the students. It is helping us to get them community ready and to become productive individuals."
The main goal of the program, which meets each Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., is to help the students develop life skills by participating in various projects, such as cooking a variety of foods from cookies to tortillas and making natural bird feeders by sprinkling bird seed on peanut butter covered pine cones.
Brown has modified New Mexico Flavor and Clover Bud 4-H projects to make them developmentally appropriate for the special needs students.
"We have looked at each 4-H project unit to see how we can adapt it to this special group of people," Brown said. "It involves how we give directions, such as making them readable with bigger print and pictures to show them which tools are needed in the project. We also use techniques that help them learn, such as hands-on so they have the tactile stimulation."
One key component of each meeting is to enhance the students' self-esteem.
"We do not want to make it where they feel they are unable to do the task," Brown said. "You want them to feel capable of doing the task, just like anyone else."
During each activity of the Special Chef program, Brown educates the students about nutrition and healthier living.
"Obesity and diabetes are prevalent in our country and are key factors in our county's health needs assessment," Brown said. "Our Extension programs, including this one, are working to educate people about healthier cuisines by introducing them to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's My Plate program where they learn what is a healthy diet and the proper serving sizes of the five food groups."
Among the components Reddington and Zeller want their students to learn are the resources within the community they can access after they leave the school district's program.
"One such resource is Extension. By having them come to the Extension office for this program, hopefully they will know where to come if they need assistance in areas in which the Extension agents can help," Reddington said.
Brown is adding her adaptations to the 4-H project units and sharing them with other county 4-H agents. As a result, Torrance and Sandoval counties are presenting similar programs.
The special needs class at Bernalillo High School formed the Bernalillo Warrior 4-H Club three years ago. Sandoval County Extension 4-H agents Nicole Lujan and Steve Lucero meet with the 10 members once or twice a month.
"It's really neat," Lujan said. "They have a 4-H flag and the 4-H pledge is posted in the classroom. Before each meeting they say the pledge, just like any club."
Each year the students decide which projects they would like to do. They have done gardening and Duded up Denim, where the students embellish denim to make photo frames and magnets, as well as the Uniquely New Mexico and New Mexico Flavor projects.
"We provide the supplies for the projects," Lujan said. "After they are done with the activities, I keep the items and submit them in the county fair. If they get first place then we take them on to the state fair."
After the fairs are over, Lujan takes the items back to the club members, including any ribbons they have won.
"One of the students was so excited that he had won a ribbon that he ran around the classroom saying, 'I got second place!' That's what makes this such a special program to provide. They are so enthusiastic about being in 4-H," she said.
"One parent told us that 4-H has made such an impact in her daughter's life. She said all her daughter talks about is 4-H when she comes home on club day."
For the past two years, Corina Neish, Extension home economist in Torrance County, has taught basic nutrition, food preparation and food safety through 4-H projects to the special education class at Mountainview Elementary School in the Moriarty-Edgewood School District.
"The classes teach the kids life skills and it gives them an opportunity to learn how to create nutritious meals or snacks on their own by actually doing the project," Neish said of the hour-long class she teaches twice a month.
"The kids love to make tortillas. They enjoy mixing the ingredients together and being able to roll out the dough. I think the dough manipulation is what they enjoy the most," she said.
"The program also offers the kids a chance to be involved in educational activities outside of their everyday curriculum."

fierybug08: I got the keys.... lol
Daviss: 'hehehehe
fierybug08: I almost had to put out two people last night...arguing about 'generational issues'.
alt: just skimmed over that posting Selma.... The young man has work to do in getting past slavery, whenever it might have ended for his ancestors. hehehehehe @ fierybug08 .. other duties as indicated... police work LOL LOL
fierybug08: no...I usually just give them 'the look'.
Selma: I don't understand what he means at the end about "Guardian"
Daviss: it is a strange term for a slaveowner
alt: I don't get that either Selma ... Guardian (?)
Daviss: I have been a Guardian of a aunt in laws grandkids but did not beat and whip them or hold them in bondage
alt: he's where many of us are.... How did my folks become slaves of a particular family, when & where did they come from and ...........
ProfDru: hello gang
AYWalton: PROFDRU is in da house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Verrrry good to see you!!!!
Selma: hey dru
Daviss: Is he under the impression they were right there all along alt going back to the beginning of their existence lol Hello ProfDru!
alt: and when he mentions 4-5 generations he is getting into what I was trying to say about time & context... a person 1-2 generations older than him has a different set of problems when they get back 4-5 generations. Hello ProfDru 1830-1840 is a heck of a lot different than 1879-1870. okay alt shut up!!!!! LOL
Daviss: what was that question you had the other day about a generation
Selma: will reread when i get home...didnt understand the guardian Did he mean to add these folks to "his" family tree as GUARDIANS
AYWalton: I just read the post. I think he was referring to the family tree program. He wants to include the info on the slave holder into it.
alt: dunno Selma, but it sounds like that is what he is saying.
AYWalton: I have used FTM in a unique way---by creating a slaveholder file. That way I can keep the ancestor as a human being apart from the ancestor as a slave. in other words---an ancestor like Uncle Sephus Bass is on two files---one as Sephus the man---from my family file---and the other is as Sephus the enslaved. but I don't have Sephus the enslaved on my family file.
Daviss: oh I see
alt: yes AYWalton, that's what he should do... and/or as vkn uses the term 'putitve' parenst (sp).
AYWalton: I think that is what he meant. the challenge is to match people up with the correct slave holder. Last name is not always the right hook up. there are challenges, and many familyhistoryprograms do not include such a way of documenting.
Daviss: I need another "Pajama' night with you AYWalton
Selma: Same last name in many instances is the least reliable
AYWalton: on the other hand in cases like the Carter slaves freed in VA and their names are known---there are ways to capture such data.
alt: there you go... "time" we have to include that in the scheme of things .. salvery could involve more than one set of slaveowners.
AYWalton: lol @ Daviss and yes, alt is correct on that account as well.
Selma: The slave owners he researches left records and there are death and birth records..plus a co hab list'
AYWalton: I think we need to have some good brainstorming sessions next time we gather in the real time/space meetings like a conference. (And tape the dialogue)
alt: good idea AYWalton . I would love to be involved in that kind of dialogue.
Daviss: that is a very good idea
AYWalton: we had tons of fun at our PJ parties and some good genealogy was going on ---in between our tweeting and online meetings and multi-tasking!
Selma: brb brb - i think
AYWalton: I wonder if we could do some interesting topic-focused calls where we could discuss similar ideas.
alt: gotta be in the Lobby or somewhere else alt ain't allowed at PJ parties, by the party folk or his wife LOL LOL LOL
Daviss: lol lol lol especially in your pjs huh alt lol
AYWalton: lol
alt: fo sho Daviss
AYWalton: alt does not want us to see how cute he is in the pjs with the feet attached. lol
Daviss: unions lol
alt: oh my goodness
Daviss: I just got a flashback of my Uncle John and his Unions lol
Selma: You all are too too funny What happened to Dru?
alt: wb Selma Dru be like the wind ... gone LOL
Selma: LOL
AYWalton: gone like the wind, or the wind done gone.
Selma: Well I have to run too...have a great day
alt: depends on who is telling ths story AYWalton LOL
AYWalton: exactly. well, I guess I shall check out myself. Everyone have a great day!
Daviss: hmmmmm well guess its time huh alt and fierybug08

text: I'm currently setting up the nuclear runoff assay in our lab. You're right that it requires a lot of 32-P, but there is no getting around that- chemiluminescent methods don't work with this assay. As far as the mess is concerned, it is no more than any other transcription or hybridization technique. The protocol that I am using is one from the red book (Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Unit 4.10). The hardest part of the assay, by far, is the isolation of the nuclei. If you are using tissue culture cells, you will need at least 5 million cells. I typically use 10 million. This assay is labor intensive and requires you to wait a couple of days before you know if it worked, but it is also a very powerful assay. Good luck! M. Hayden

Hollywood Ebola and The Geriatric
Probably a result of public disappointment, for fear of backlash and ridicule, NBC killed its plan to pay Hollywood Ebola a million dollars for her first post-prison interview. Barbara Walters, that senile old bag, in a moment of lucidity, also rejected the opportunity, likely bombarded over the last two weeks by emails from disbelieving viewers about her transparent defence of Paris on The View.
As such, with no one else interested in writing them a cheque, because it's never enough money for the Hiltons, Paris has taken her exclusive to Larry King and will appear on CNN on Wednesday – 24 hours out of the slammer and more than enough time to fix up the weave, get a spray tan, and consult on the perfect ensemble.
Sad thing is, as much as I'd love to say I'm not watching… I am weak and I am small. I will watch. I will watch Larry ask his inane questions. I will watch him coddle that dirty twat and feed the power of The Virus. But perhaps, perhaps there is an off off off chance he just might take a hard line, that he will actually do the unthinkable and press her about her mysterious illness, how much coke she does, why her potent disease destroys everyone around her. Perhaps Larry will actually tell it to her face: that everybody hates her, and perhaps he will then wonder aloud, in a moment of geriatric rambling, how she handles that universal truth, the universally accepted truth that she is despised like no other.
If he actually does it, if Larry can summon one last gasp of juice in those old balls, I'll watch his show every day for the rest of his life. ESPECIALLY if they open up the phone lines fairly and let in all the callers. All the callers who will ring up and tell Paris she sucks ass.
If he actually does that, Larry #1 on the Freebie Five.

James Suddarth – Application for Bounty Land, Part 1
Posted by dwsuddarth on 28 September 2009
James Suddarth applied for bounty land three times, twice in 1850, and again in 1855. This is a transcription of one of the applications he made in 1850.
State of Indiana
Crawford County
On this sixth day of November A.D. one thousand Eight hundred and fifty , personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace within and for the County and State aforesaid, James Suddarth aged fifty five years, a resident of Crawford County in the State of Indiana, who being duly sworn according to law declares, that he is the identical James Suddarth pack horse driver in the Brigade commanded by Captain James J Higgins in the war with Great Britain declared by the United States on the 18th day of June 1812, that he enlisted at Lexington in the State of Kentucky on or about the first day of January A.D. One thousand Eight hundred and thirteen for the term of three months and continued in actual service (as such pack horse driver) in said war for the term of two months and twenty nine days and was honorably discharged at Dayton in the State of Ohio, on the twenty ninth day of March A.D. One thousand Eight hundred and thirteen, as will appear by his original certificate of discharge herewith presented or by the muster roll of said Brigade.
He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to which he may be entitled under the "act granting bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the United States" passed September 28th 1850.
James Suddarth
Sworn to and subscribed before me the day and year above [ or before] written.
And I hereby certify that I believe the said James Suddarth to be the identical man who served as aforesaid and that he is of the age above [ or before] stated.
John G Coopor (signature & seal)
Justice of the peace
State of Indiana
Crawford County I Cassimer W Kindle Clerk of the Crawford Circuit Court do hereby certify that John G Cooper Is and was on the Sixth Day of November 1850 an acting Justice of the Peace duly Commissioned and qualified and that all his acts as such is and ought to be given full faith and Credit
In Witness of which I Cassimer W Kindle Clerk of the Crawford Circuit Court Subscribe my name and affix the seal of said Court at Leavenworth this 13th Day of November AD 1850
Cassimer W Kindle (signature)
There are many clues in this application. Not only does it tell us that he enlisted in Lexington, Kentucky on the first of January, 1813, we also learn that he was a pack horse driver. Since we know that James was born in 1795, we know that he was 17 years of age when he enlisted. In addition, we have the name of his Captain. We can use this information to discover who else would have fought with James, providing further avenues of research.
We also learn that James enlisted in Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington is in Fayette County, Kentucky and a search of records should be done there. It is, however, likely that James did not live in Lexington, but simply went there to enlist, as it was the closest big city to where he lived. In another application file, James states that he re-enlisted at the courthouse in Casey County, Kentucky. He most likely was living in Casey County when he enlisted at Lexington at the beginning of January. However, a search should still be conducted in Fayette County.
Items like those found in this pension file can not only help advance your research, but also add life to the family history.

One more MMA story...
My sons and I also watched a match in which one competitor was lying on his back. The other fighter tried to jump in and deliver a Superman punch to the face. Bam! The guy on the ground kicked him right in the face with his heel! KO!
Here is the point. If someone is on the ground, you have to be very careful. Don't just jump in with a punch or a kick. If the grounded person is a grappling expert, he wants you to jump in. He is inviting you to attack. He is thinking "please attack me on the ground!"
In Karate, if the attacker is lying on his back on the ground, it is time to get away. You also have to watch out for his friends.

Nautical Experts
Nautical Experts is a new company, based in Spain, formed by international nautical experts. It is divided into four different departments, all involved in nautical aspects, but each of them with different specialists involved.
Nautical Events: Organises events related to boats: organizes competition, incentive, pleasure and other sailing events and searches sponsor for sailing projects for companies which want to experience sailing and the sea
Boat Management: All people need to keep their boat well maintained and offer them the chance to sail all around the world with just thinking on when they want to sail, we organize everything else for them (accommodation, food and beverage, berths, lifts, etc.)
Sailing Projects: Our team does still keep on sailing at the highest competition level, all the year around.
Nautical Consulting: We offer naval architecture consulting, as surveyor (for owner and insurance companies), project manager and yacht design.
Companies which want to let their customer, employees or clients have their best sailing experience.
Sailor, professional or amateur.
Yacht owner (already or in future)
We want to transmit professionalism and passion for our work.
It must be vector art. Logo has to include name, but it must be a logo good to identify without the name of the company. Initially we thought about the words "Nautical Experts", the first in blue and the second in red, together with something which reminds to a sailing boat (also abstract). It has to be easy to print with a dark back colour (for website) or a white one (for t-shirts and paper).
We prefer a logo including name, which is easy to fit in a square area, not too horizontal, neither vertical. Preferably just two colour logo.
Fonts used in text that we will change (i.e. - names on business cards, phone numbers, etc) must be available for us to use. We like the font similar to Segoe print, but also not necessarily.
BUT WE ARE OPEN MINDED TO ANY LOGO, COLOUR AND FONT COMBINATION YOU THINK IT COULD FIT BEST. SO PLEASE INNOVATE AND DO NOT HESITATE TO USE YOUR OWN CREATIVITY, we want to see that.

Republican Paul Barber, an Albuquerque attorney, is challenging incumbent Democrat Michael Vigil, also of Albuquerque. Barber is running on the identical "rescue the courts" platform as Ned Fuller. If you believe there is a crisis of public confidence in the state judiciary, that activist judges are rewriting the laws while issuing rulings based on partisan favoritism, and that the rumors are true about judges partying after hours, Mr. Barber is your man. Hopefully, if you do believe this, you have witnessed it with your own eyes or through honest experience of others.
Barber has two decades of legal experience, including a term as director of the Workman's Compensation Administration and as an appointed District Court judge in Bernalillo County in 1998, where he lost the election to hold the seat less than a year later. Barber lost a bid for the State Supreme Court two years ago by less than one percentage point. He also served one term as a state representative in the Legislature, serving District 29 on the Westside. Barber believes New Mexico lacks tough oversight of "problem judges" and calls for "more balance" on the Court of Appeals, whose 10 members comprise eight Democrats and two Republicans.
In our interview, Barber held the opinion that courts should be apolitical, but also stated that it's "nonsense to believe philosophical difference don't exist between Republicans and Democrats." Most disappointing, however, was Barber's answer to our question: What did you think about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Gore v. Bush case that decided the 2000 presidential election? He said he never read it. We expect, minimally, a greater sense of intellectual curiosity from a judge that is concerned about so-called partisan opinions on the court.
Judge Michael Vigil practiced law for 28 years in New Mexico before being appointed to the state Court of Appeals by Gov. Bill Richardson in January. During this time, he said he was an attorney on 50 precedent setting cases in the state. Vigil also boasts trial experience in every district across New Mexico, handling cases ranging from zoning issues, child custody, medical malpractice and murder. Vigil also received a unanimous recommendation from the state's bipartisan judicial review board before being appointed to the Court of Appeals. He also boasts the endorsement of nine retired State Supreme Court Justices and seven retired State Court of Appeals Justices.
When asked to define an activist judge, Vigil said, "I don't know what that means." He said the Court of Appeals assigns cases to a three-judge panel, which often leads to 2-1 opinions, regardless of each judge's political party affiliation. He called the appeals process "very conservative in nature," and described his judicial philosophy as "applying established precedent to a set of facts." Vigil exhibited an impressive knowledge of state law and the judicial process—an awareness of how Court of Appeals decisions can impact all other areas of the law—and rejected what he called "buzzwords designed to be a diversion." One familiar buzzword phrase comes to mind: "legislating from the bench." We hate that kind of vague, meaningless rhetoric that misguides voters' emotions without being supported by facts. Most importantly, no judge should ever have a preconceived political agenda, nor ever draw conclusions based on rumor, innuendo or guilt by association.
The Alibi endorses Michael Vigil for New Mexico Court of Appeals.
