A word from Circa 1922
Circa 1922 is home to tapas-style dining and wine bar in historic downtown Wilmington. Regionally-themed sharing platters are a popular new addition to the menu allowing guests to sample several tapas offerings. A 12-bottle custom cruvinet keeps our wines by the glass consistently fresh and true to taste or choose from an eclectic international selection of wines by the bottle. After-work tapas specials, weekly sushi specials and a 3-course prix Fixe menu make Circa 1922 a popular downtown destination.Continued

- Very nicelibrarygirlftwDined on 9/27/2014New in town and wanted to take my parents out when they came to visit. The food was delicious and fairly priced. I did not care for the "Hibiscus Margharita" because it tasted solely of tequila and sugar and not so much of the flower. Also, not that the establishment could help it but there was a very loud and obnoxious toddler causing chaos at the table next to us and that took away from the overall experience. This restaurant is NOT kid-friendly, especially if those kids cannot sit quietly at a table. It was pretty loud but we sat upstairs away from the majority of the noise. But over all, all of my family enjoyed their food and the ambiance and I will be returning next time for a special occasion.Special Features:
- Downtown gem!MLB10SDined on 9/22/2014We had a group of 8 that had a wonderful experience at Circa 1922! From our waiter to the drinks to the delicious food, it was first class! We all ordered various dishes but the Chicken Orrichiette from the Prix Fixe menu was wonderful! Also the sangria was great! We originally booked our reservation for 6 but added 2 more and this was no problem! Would definitely eat here again and highly recommend it to my friends! Loved the decor and it reminded me of a place in New York called Josephine's!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding experiencezoidmealsDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I were in Wilmington for an early anniversary weekend. My wife had eaten at Circa 1922 before but I hadn't. Everything was excellent. We were congratulated on our anniversary at check-in and were treated very well. Our waiter, Kilby was very good and the food was everything I had been told. Both entrees were fabulous (bacon wrapped chicken and braised lamb shank) as were the side dishes. I cannot think of anything that I did not enjoy. Look forward to coming again!Special Features:
- A pleasant surprisemarxpixDined on 9/13/2014We were visiting Wilimington for the first time and after doing some online research decided upon Circa 1922. A great atmosphere with fine food ( we did a variety of tapas with a Caesar salad. Wine selection was great as was the service.Special Features:
- Great food, lovely ambianceSouthernerAtHeartDined on 9/12/2014This is our second dining experience at Circa 1922. Last time, I tried the salmon and it was very good. This time, I went for the hangar steak and was pleasantly surprised at the portion size and thickness of the meat. Don't be fooled by the "small plates" menu. These are full-sized entrees that are proportioned for humans - not giants like some restaurants. I'm all about a good value but I just don't need a 20 oz. portion of anything (except maybe wine :) We had a very good server, almost great. The 2nd floor was pretty empty and he could've been "a little" more present but who knows, he may have had a crazy table downstairs or something. We never went wanting for anything for long. This is where we bring our visitors for out of town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nicefoodieeDined on 9/6/2014My group loved the ambience except the piano was a bit loud. The food was excellent. Be warned...The colossal Creme Brule is colossal! Not for one person.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Most Delightful Experience of VisitReviews2shareDined on 9/6/2014Several years ago we visited Circa 1922 by chance and vowed to return. Our visit this trip was the most delightful experience of a birthday visit to Wilmington, NC. Just as we remembered, the starters, entrees, drinks, and desserts were fabulous ... the wait staff helpful, mature, professional, fun, and knowledgeable. We were happy to see the same level of delicious food and service had been maintained. Enjoyed a wonderful hibiscus margarita, great beer and wine, a mix of tapas, perfect red snapper served with Fava beans, lobster nage, squid ink noodle, and paella. The Spanish-nod décor with polished dark wood, brick walls, and large canvases depicting diners from another era enjoying their evening out creates a memorable ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NanaeatsoutDined on 9/6/2014As always, Circa was fabulous. We had tickets for the theater at eight, and our wait staff made sure we were served and out on time for the show. We had tapas and drinks. The calamari at Circa is the best we in town and we always return for more.Special Features:
- Wilmington, NC FavoriteMegaFoodieDined on 9/5/2014Circa 1922 has been one of our favorite restaurants for many years. The service is outstanding, and seating is very comfortable and semi-private. They recently renovated their main dining room, enlarging it by eliminating their pub seating in the bar area. Now it's even better. They are always changing their menu which is great for foodies who like to try new things. There wine list is very good and always has interesting selections. My favorite dessert is a Crepes Grand Marnier. DELICIOUS!!!Special Features:

- Vibrant and TastyOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/1/2014Sat outside, which have it an Urban feel. Prior visit we ate inside about 2-3 years ago.??Food was prepared nicely, inventive GF options that hit the spot. Enjoyed a Rose and the occasional homeless/interesting person that came by. The GF Almond Joy cake might be the best desert we've had, well worth a trip...though pricey the food was worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful Experiencetss818Dined on 8/18/2014Our family ate dinner here while on vacation and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was recommended to us by a friend who frequently visits Wilmington. I had shrimp and grits, my daughter had the filet mignon, and my husband had the fixed price menu and chose skirt steak. Everything was well prepared and delicious. Our waiter was excellent and recommended wines that paired nicely with our meals. The creme brulee was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RaccoonsDined on 8/17/2014Enjoyed our first visit to Circa 1922. We had an early dinner (6pm) following a Sunday matinee performance at Thalian Hall. We called an hour+ before our reservation time to let them know we would be 20-30 minutes late due to longer than expected performance. We arrived 20 minutes after the original reservation time and were seated at a table next to a wait staff service station....not the most desirable location when restaurant was less than 1/3 full (we did not ask to be re-seated) Nice , but smaller, wine selection and interesting selection of small plate starters and entrees. On Sun-Thurs nights a 3 course prix fixe meal is offered for $21.95 which was good value. Food and food were both good but not fabulous.
- Wonderful ExperienceJPRchitectDined on 8/16/2014My steak rivaled that of filets that I have had that cost twice the price. The location is perfect and the service was excellent.Special Features:

- Great hosts, great food.JamieDined on 8/15/2014Food was excellent. The mango was a perfect addition to the spicy tuna avocado roll. That's a combination I've never experienced before! And the service was excellent. It was a special occasion for us and they treated us to a special dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Deliciousness !!EileenDined on 8/13/2014My husband & I went twice for dinner, once just the two of us & the following week with our 21 year old son. My son & I thoroughly enjoyed our Chicken Orrichetti from the Price Fix menu. My husband had the steak & also enjoyed that. We also shared a bottle of wine because Wednesday is 1/2 price bottles. Love the Price Fix salad choices & desserts we had also-really, really good & they give you a good amount of food, too.Special Features:

- Worth The Wait!WindsorFoodieDined on 8/8/2014We have wanted to try Circa for months, and finally dined there when in Wilmington last Friday night. Well worth the wait! I had veal short ribs - tender, delicious - and my wife had paella - she loved it. We shared dessert - Grand Marnier crepes - which was fantastic! Cool atmosphere upstairs, downstairs was more energetic. Service was great. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st timeMrBillDined on 8/8/2014Recommended to us as a Wilmington fave. Nice ambiance, capable services and allowed a substitute of mushrooms vs sun dried tomatoes ( which worked great with the pasta). Both like our dinners and would go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Gem in WilmingtonWilmingtondineDined on 8/3/2014A must visit after theater or afternoon in Wilmington. The service is always impeccable, food is superb, and staff goes out of there way to accommodate your any desires. If you want a real service experience try and get seating at one of Robert's tables as he is the consummate professional in the services arena.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must go!!!Angelini23Dined on 8/2/2014My husband and I came to Wilmington for a long beach weekend, and researched and researched to find a good restaurant to treat ourselves to a lovely evening. Circa 1922 not only was absolutely delicious (meals cooked to perfection -we had the lamb and quail), creative drink menu, and amazing desserts (try the coconut and chocolate sushi roll), BUT ridiculously reasonably priced! We got 2 drinks, an app., (calamari was awesome with a wasabi and sweet sauce), 2 entrees and dessert for $80!!!! Fine dining that won't break the bank!!!Special Features:
- nice meal before a showparadoxDined on 8/2/2014Excellent service by a knowledgeable staff. Food is presented well and the portions were adequate. Worth the high fares.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a quite get togetherjorverDined on 8/1/2014It was our second time there, and we enjoy both food and wine. The "tapas" concept made for a great group interaction as we shared and commented on our selections, and it gave everyone a newer topic for conversation. It was also a plus that the younger crowd (with noise and gibirish) stayed outside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favoritesdogloverjewelryDined on 7/30/2014Circa has been and, still is, one of the best restaurants in NC. My husband and I went there together for years until he developed Alzheimer's. I went this week by myself for the first time. It was wonderful as always. I explained to the manager what a special place Circa had been for us and got a little teary eyed. She said the meal was on her. Just overwhelming to be treated that way. They have great food choices -- pork belly is back on the menu! I have never had anything there that wasn't top notch. Well trained wait staff. An exciting dining experience without any of the pretention you sometimes see.Special Features:
- SabscoDined on 7/26/2014Very good food. Prompt knowledgable waiters. Enjoyed the evening. Will return next time I'm in wilmington.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- no excuse bad serviceMaryDined on 7/19/2014Excellent food but service was terrible. Four dinners delicious and bad service is what we remember. Steak knives arrive minutes after steaks. Dinner wine arrives after dinner eaten. No excuse for lack of attention to detail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crica Improves on "Excellent"PaulfromNovaVIPDined on 7/19/2014We visited Circa with friends who also love Circa, and we collectively - all four diners - had our best Circa meals ever. Every small plate ordered as an app - mussels, calamari, eggplant rolatini, mixed beets - was perfection. (The breads were very good as well.) Entrees - veal short ribs, veal shank, two fillets (yes, we're unapologetic carnivores) - were, again, home runs - cooked to perfection, w/ interesting sides. We had a nice bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot that was exceptionally well priced for the value. Killer desserts - especially the Bananas Foster - that could have fed the fleet: order conservatively, they're mammoth. Service was impeccable, efficient without ostentation. We're going back in a few days.Special Features:

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks opened little changed on Thursday as investors bypassed positive figures on the labor front to await any developments in efforts to avert the fiscal cliff. Stock futures offered muted reaction after data had jobless claims falling by 25,000 to 370,000 last week. The weekly data is positive in that it shows the negative impact of the recent superstorm on the labor market to be a temporary one, said Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group. "Expectations were that this would happen, so it's in line with what markets were expecting," he said. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.24% rose 16.05 points, or 0.1%, to 13,050.54. The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.30% gained half a point to 1,410.04. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.42% fell 2.2 points to 2,971.49.

MILWAUKEE (WSAU) Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker says it's not known why an interior decorative panel fell from a wall yesterday at Mitchell International Airport. Media reports said the panel hit a teenager in the head, and he received a deep cut – but the boy refused medical help, and he went on a flight he had scheduled.
The fiber-board panel weighed 14 pounds, and airport spokeswoman Pat Rowe said it fell 15-feet before hitting the youngster. Rowe said the airport's maintenance crews checked the other panels yesterday, and none were at risk of falling. The incident occurred just over a month after a 15-year-old boy was struck-and-killed by a decorative panel that fell from a Milwaukee County parking ramp near the city's lakefront. That incident is also being investigated.
Walker said he proposed $1.5-million in next year's county budget to finish a quality assessment of all major county-owned buildings. He said about two-thirds of 100 buildings have already had emergency inspections in the wake of the parking ramp death.

This isn't a trailer for the "Mother's Day" remake but it is some sort of international sales promo that's found it's way online. Truth be told I've read the synopsis and watched the video and I'm still not 100% sure what the movie is about but it still looks pretty dandy. I assume it takes place on mothers day, right? Someone? I'm so confused and frightened.
"Gut" is a indie movie about two guys who end up watching some sort of awful movie based on one of the guy's suggestions and things get weird. They don't tell you what the movie is but my guess is it's some sort of snuff, autopsy or French film. Feel free to make your own guesses.
James Franco is set to direct and star in a new film about the real life slasher Richard Ramirez, better know as "The Night Stalker". Here's the fun part, Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell is also set to produce the film. Just tossing this out there, but what about getting that guy from Crazytown to compose the score?
If you had to put together the greatest cast of all time who would you pick? Don't bother thinking about it because the makers of "The Bleeding" have already done it. The answer? Vinnie Jones, Michael Matthias, Michael Madsen, DMX, Armand Assante and Kat Von D. Take a few minutes to compose yourself before checking out the clip because you might vomit from excitement.
This is why the Druids invented cell phones with video cameras. The Boston Blazer's which are some sort of local team that play some sport are in trouble after their halftime show features three women dressed in next to nothing gave their mascot lap dances. The only disappointing part? The team apologized for the good time after the show. Boo Boston!
When a mother and daughter take out time to do things together it's a wonderful thing. That is of course unless that mother and daughter are torturing animals and keeping the corpses in their house like this duo on Long Island. Just to confirm that isn't a wonderful thing at all, unless you're some kind of sicko, then it's probably right up your alley.
Jimmy's got issues. He's a smart guy with some pretty big ideas on the earth's future and global warning. As a matter of fact, he thinks the Mayan calendar and its predictions of the earth ending in 2012 are quite true. According to Jimmy, global warming will reach its zenith in December of 2012 with temperatures reaching upwards of 130 degrees worldwide. Along with the heat, he also believes that the human population will devolve into mass chaos as people go nuts with their impending doom. Jimmy's biggest problem is that nobody will listen.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

DOOR COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - The effects of Superstorm Sandy was felt right here in northeastern Wisconsin.
High winds caused lots of problems if you were near the water in Door County.
"If you're looking for a bit of adventure, today is the day," Hoyt Purinton told FOX 11, after he docked the Washinton Island Ferry at Northport.
Choppy surf rocked the ferry as it pulled in around noon.
"This is one of the days when Mother Nature lets you know she's in charge," said Purinton.
Sandy hit the waters around the Door Peninsula hard. Only a handful of passengers took the voyage between Washington Island and the mainland by ferry Tuesday.
"In a storm, you don't want to have your boat in Gills Rock so I have my boat out at Washington Island. In fact, I stayed on it last night. It rocked me to sleep," Jim Robinson told FOX 11. He operates at 33-foot commercial vessel for lighthouse tours during the tourist season.
With up to 10-foot waves crashing on Northport, ferry operators say it's the biggest storm they've seen this season.
"Hurricanes can really wake up a great sea out here on the Great Lakes, and that's what we're seeing here today," said Robinson.
Door County Emergency Services Director Eric Christiansen said his agency warned boaters against going out on the bay or Lake Michigan when waves were as high as they were.
Emergency management personnel say winds and waves are expected to increase throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. They recommend charging cell phones ahead of time in case power is lost.

Nice shirt but runs small I usually wear a 16 but had to send this one back because it was too small and the arms too tight. The bigger size up was great. July 29, 2013

For what did Randolph-Macon College prepare men in the era before the Civil War?
An indication of those careers is given by the occupations of the members of the
Society of the Alumni in the catalog of 1858. The sample is not necessarily typical
since the society had as members only the men who took degrees, and a profile, if
it existed, of the whole mass of former students would perhaps show different proportions.
Two hundred ten members listed their occupations; very few others of those listed
did not. Of those 210, the largest number, 48, were listed as teacher (35) or professor
(13). The next largest number were clergymen (43), of whom 12 also taught; some
of those 12 were presidents of other schools. (If the teaching clergymen are counted
as teachers, then the ratio of teacher to cleric is an overwhelming 60 to 31.) Almost
as numerous as the clergy were the lawyers, 39 in number, of whom 8 were also legislators.
Farmer came next, with 31. No one is listed as planter, but in the romanticized
agrarian republic, farmer carried enough prestige. There were almost as many
physicians as farmers, 29. These were not just the graduates of the Mettauer Medical
School, allied with the college: if they were at that school, they had received
a degree from Randolph-Macon first. As one would expect in a society that placed
immense social value on landed gentility and the professions, merchants were few
in number; only 10 listed themselves that way. They were only slightly more numerous
than students (6) or engineers (4). When the Civil War came, something like 50 to
60 percent of the eligible Randolph-Macon Alumni from Virginia served in the Confederate
army. This estimate comes from comparing both the Society of Alumni and whole student
body for 1857 through 1859 with the reconstructed war records at the Virginia State
Library. The original records were destroyed in the great Richmond fire of 1865.
Had the state records survived, the proportion of alumni in Confederate service
would probably be found to be even higher.

There's no agreement, but the two Presidents want to make it work.
By Kimberly Monroe
Grambling State University Media Bureau
University of Louisiana at Monroe President Nick Bruno
and Grambling State University President Frank G. Pogue
want to continue football matchup.
Grambling, LA – University of Louisiana at Monroe President Nick Bruno and Grambling State University President Frank G. Pogue agree that their I-20 competition should continue.
ULM bested GSU by 48-10 in Saturday's matchup at Malone Stadium, and both presidents said it's more than just a game. "It's important to bring both regions together, said Bruno. "It's fun to see I-20 come together to enjoy the game, have fun and tailgate."
An estimated 23,600 people attended the Saturday game. When the schools played the first game in 2007, about 30,101 people filled the stadium. ULM won the 2007 game, too, but only by 28-14.
In 2011, the Warhawk- Tiger matchup produced the largest on-campus collegiate football crowd in north Louisiana history, according to school athletic officials.
Saturday's game was the second of two in a two-year agreement. No additional games are scheduled between the two competitors, but the presidents, who are friends, intend to make it happen again.
"Everyone enjoys it," said Pogue as the game came to a close. "They love the band, because after halftime majority of the crowd left."
Pogue also said the game is more than about a win or lost; it's more of an economic concern for the competition to continue.
"The foreseeable future anticipates further budget cuts," added Pogue. "We are in a financial emergency. Athletics brings in the largest deficit, therefore we should drive a little over 30 miles because the income is real."
Bruno agreed. "This is a great collegiate football experience for both teams," he said. "Although both schools have different missions, we can have a lot of fun together."

After talking to a bunch of people, we have confirmed that the above image is indeed from Intel PR and that we can go back to our old assumptions that, yes, indeed, they stole our logo.
Some stealthy ecogeeks have discovered that this isn't the only instance of the theft either. Below you can see a much prettier photoshop job that makes things even clearer.
I mean, we're flattered. But we're also upset. If they would like to co-brand their products with our much-beloved (and trademarked) logo, I'm sure we could work out a deal ;-).
If anyone knows the value of a logo it's Intel. Enterprising EcoGeeks have also done a little work with the Intel logo in my favor. But to keep my hands clean (since Intel did sue the "Jesus Inside" people, I'm not going to post it here.) See Msaleem's twitter stream if you're interested.
If anyone at Intel can explain this, or let me know where to go from here, that would be fantastic. For now, I'm just going to call a friend of mine who's an IP lawyer. Not because I want to sue, but because I have no idea what to do.
Yay for Environmental Technology!
Update: Nathan Kirsch from LegitReviews informed me that the slides were made public by Intel and www.markwellgroup.com.au given with full consent to publish on the http://www.aumm.nl/non-prescription-cialis web. All those slides were made public by Intel and given with full consent to publish on his site. They were part of a presentation they gave on Monday at the Centrino launch in San Francisco.
Update 2: Intel just emailed me. It was suspiciously lacking in offers to tour their campus and interview their CEO.
written by Clinch, July 15, 2008
And I believe (although know nothing about law) that your logo is covered by intellectual property rights, so yes, by using it, they are breaking the law, (and as they are using for something that will make a profit, they can't claim the 'fair use' thing).
If no one else comments on what you should do, I think you should contact a large news corporation about it (but then if you get money for it, buy something green for your town with some of it [e.g. solar panels for the http://eatingdisorderrecovery.com/canada-generic-levitra cialis discount old folks home], so you don't just look like someone who's after the money, but want to help the environment and community as well.)

I work for Intel, in the software developer community (I have nothing to do with branding, promotions, or anything related to this). Des Peroz pointed this out to me, and I'm going to start asking around internally, to see if I can figure out what really happened to you. Most likely, it was a mistake/accident, rather than something malicious, but either way, I hope it gets straightened out.
Feel free to contact me at joshua.bancroft AT intel DOT com, and I'll try to find the right people to talk to about this (I'm already asking around).

Can you point to a page on Intel.com that shows this logo, besides the page you linked to on Anandtech? It might help track down how/where/by whom it got created.
And again, if you'd like to follow up privately, I'm joshua.bancroft AT intel DOT com. I don't have anything to do with the PR department, but I can hopefully put you in touch with someone who does.
written by R(k), July 15, 2008
Also, if you have trademarked the logo, you should be in fine shape. Even if you haven't trademarked the logo but can prove that you've been using it in conjunction with your name (if it is trademarked) you can probably still prove your use as original.
Depending on how the mark is described, they may still be able to tweak it slightly and still use it even though it looks closely like yours (stupid technicalities!)
Get in touch with Intel. Standard first response is often denial, followed by their assertion it's an original work and what is cialis professional you ripped it off and then at some point (after lawyers have had time to examine the evidence) you'll get a quiet apology and possibly pay off, er, compensation- possibly in trade for your silence in further matters on the issue.
written by Candy, July 15, 2008
I just spent some time digging around Intel's site, and I can't seem to find the graphic that you showed anywhere - you know, the list of features. I went through the press kit stuff for the Centrino 2 release. So maybe it's really AnandTech that stole it? I don't know why they'd bother making their own visuals for stuff, though, when they should be able to get everything they need from Intel. So maybe ask AnandTech where they got the graphic from before you take action with Intel.
Best of luck, and let us know if the get levitra online nerdfighters can help!

I'm really, really, really, hoping they just made a bad mistake (but I know that is not it).
written by Candy, July 15, 2008
ecogeek uses screenshots to reference and cialis free pills illustrate and credits its sources, which is basically the equivalent of using a quote, and is legal. Ripping off a trademarked logo and using it as one's own, however, is not legal. It's not a double standard, they are completely different usages, circumstances, and claims to material.
written by Sarah-Jane, July 16, 2008
The use of your logo and the other WiFi logo is poorly photoshopped and sloppy. That would never fly at Intel. Even when using contractors, corporations like that have a book of graphic standards that have to be followed to the "t."
I work in Marketing and do graphic design for the small company I work for and even we wouldn't publish that messy work.
Also if you look at the Intel site, the branding is completely off. It doesn't fit.
Look, even the Registered Trademark symbol after Intel in the name of the product is squashed. No way they let anything like this fly.
Since it's not Intel, it isn't likely you'll track down who did this. That's what happens when you can find your logo on a Google Image search though. I would look into online logo protection methods.
Good luck!!

written by Tom, July 16, 2008
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Just because you can't copyright the power symbol doesn't mean that you can't own the rights to a logo that incorporates the symbol.
And I'm sure Mr. Holm is a competent designer who knows probably a whole lot more about copyrights than you do.

On top of this it has been pointed out many times that it wasn't even Intel who found the logo on google images. It was Anandtech.
Ecogeek seem poorly positioned to make aggressive moves towards protection of a diluted brand.
Ecogeek should probably make a quiet "our bad" post and change their logo. Maybe be a bit less lazy about what they choose thise time.

Please note that trademarks are granted after substantive examination by USPTO trademark examiners, all of whom are lawyers.
That said, I agree that the culprit here is probably AnandTech or some other sloppy photoshopper and that a quick email will probably get the thing removed.
(Companies like Intel take great care to protect their IP (including trademarks) and are careful about not infringing the IP (including trademarks of others). They are much too big of targets both from a PR and a monetary standpoint to do anything else.)

I find it funny that the common reaction to 'big company sending a threatening letter in response to theft' is for many people to poop on big company and cry fair use....but now that small company has been stolen from, the common reaction from those same people is to advise to engage lawyers and to send cease and desist letters - which is just what the big companies do (and get yelled at for).
There act is the same - the reaction is contradictory.

You can sue them for lots of money because they released it with publishing rights to the public meaning there is no way for them to undue the www.supplychaincanada.com harm.
Since you wouldn't want your image associated with a company that takes these sort of actions you are entitled to a substantial amount of money. Because of the size of the company millions of people will see that image and start associating it with Intel instead of your website causing irreparable damage.

I work in Intel's Mobility Group, and I'm sorry it has taken us some time to get back to you, but in good old fashion Intel culture we wanted to look into this in-depth before contacting you.
We could make a lot of excuses about this, but bottom line is we apologize. We didn't intend to imply either association with or an endorsement by EcoGeek through use of your logo - it is a very cool graphic.
We have already begun taking steps to pull the logo from all of our material and hope to have that completed today.

BUT THEN!!! You brought up the issue that THEY (the intels) actually sue the ppl that use their logo as "Jesus Inside". NOW IM PISSED! Think about it.. They don't even completely use their logo.. there's no "intel" in the logo, just the word "inside" and the swish thingy.. AND THEY UNSPARINGLY SUE THEM! This shows that they don't have a heart as a company. And now they use Ecogeek's logo (COMPLETELY) and they didn't even give a thought about it. So they think that they are big and they can do what the hell they want, but if some small org. try to infringe their logo, they squash them immediately!

You got mileage from it. Probably got more hits than you ever have before just from them doing it now.
So, i'd suggest that if they don't use it on an actual product or packaging, to send them a letter that says, hey I'm letting you know you used my logo in a seminar, and I would like you to get permission in the future, and please remove any items you put on the web with my logo on it.
That's just to protect your trademark in the future.
But if it's just on some slides, be thankful for the free press and move on.

This is only the second time I've caught someone using something I created on the internet and I'm no less steamed this time around. Especially since this time it's the fault of a major company who's products I use on a daily basis (and not some hack on threadless.com)
Anyway, I'm not gonna go off here about my varying theories on etiquette and tramadol 120 mg theory in design so I'll leave it at this:
Pay up, Intel. Pay up or design your own damn mark. On second thought, just call me and I'll do one for you.

There's a HUUUGE difference between one logo resembling another logo and doing a slipshod cut-and-paste job from someone else's website onto your press release.
written by dude, July 16, 2008
I would like to note, that Proper etiquette for a designer is to send a DMCA Take down or an information request about the article in question, not get steamed about it.
I am a designer, and artist, an animator and while it troubling to see your work in places you do not intend, it is extremely bad form and poor etiquette to fly off the handle and make baseless claims. Everyone here seems to think its a copy and best way to use cialis paste job, I assure you that if you can design it so can someone else. If you have thought of it, so has someone else. If can't see the grass roots image quality on the work in question or you don't know the process, you can sabotage your claim before you have one by making a blog post and a public spectacle of something that may have just been a simple mix up, or a failure to communicate with the proper authority.
Lastly, eeMDee, While copyrights are granted at creation these copyrights are not registered, though implied. If an item is not documented and registered through the USTPO or by notary then your copyrights will in all likely hood not be enforced. Do not mistake Registered and unregistered materials.
Lastly, Damages can only be sought if Monetary loss can be proven. If Intel complies with the take down notice, there is hardly a claim to be made.

Thanks for contacting Intel about our use of a logo appearing on the EcoGeek* website.
We apologize for using the logo, and we didn't intend to imply any EcoGeek* endorsement or association. Starting July 15, 2008, we have taken and are continuing to take steps to pull the logo from our marketing materials and are working to contact those sites that have also posted the Intel slide you mentioned.

As a marketing professional and graphic designer, I'd say the protectable part of the logo is the merger of the green plant/eco element with the computer I/O switch and the concept it represents. Something vaguely similar that represents a state fruit and the best place pfizer viagra uk tourism without conveying any semblance of environmental responsibility or technology isn't a viable arguement. Besides, they've used various stylized versions of that Georgia peach for decades.

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
Bass-Dannreuther and other modern scholarship note that there is only one die pairing for this date (although there is a rare die state with obvious clashing on both sides), which boasts an unsurprisingly small recorded mintage of 4,520 pieces. Such a mintage places this issue squarely in the ranks of a 'neither high nor low' emission for this generally oft-neglected series. Bass-Dannreuther assign a middling R.4 rarity rating as well, estimating that 110-125 pieces are known.
For much of their early history and well into the mid-19th century, gold quarter eagles were the Rodney Dangerfield of coins, 'getting no respect' from mint personnel who were much more intent on producing the three workhorse coins of the early Mint era: copper large cents, silver half dollars, and gold half eagles. Walter Breen, speaking of the early days of the quarter eagle series in his Complete Encyclopedia, writes that 'during this whole decade [1796-1807], quarter eagles were coined only in isolated driblets of a few hundred or at most a few thousand pieces. In most of these years, each date represented a new design modification--creating instant rarities and type coins. The problem is less why the coins are rare, why so few were made to begin with, but why any were struck at all! To judge from available Archives records, they were ordered on whim by a few local banks (principally the Bank of Pennsylvania and the Bank of the United States), to judge from the condition of survivors, they spent most of their time in vaults. Between 1803 and 1833, the Mint's major output consisted of cents, half dollars, and half eagles, all other denominations had a kind of poor-relative status--seldom called for, few made, little welcome.'
The reverse die of the 1831 quarter eagle began as a new die for the 1830 issue, also known through a single die pairing, and that reverse continued in use through the single-marriage 1832, 1833, and 1834 With Motto issues. There are 149 dentils on the reverse, as compared with 147 on the obverse. The U in UNITED is recut, the large 2 in the denomination has a curved base, and there is recutting on the right lower upright of the I in AMERICA.

Has technology accelerated human evolution?
my question is based on my observations of events that have happened in my own lifetime,we went from conventional warfare to atomic bombs ,we went from party line telephones to blue tooth, we went from the encyclopedia to ipads,we went from maps to gps,we went from libraries to kindle,we went from Sunday dinner to Mc Donalds,we went from radio to 50"flat screen 3d television,skype,electric cars,and we put a man on the moon.All of this in one life time.what use to take millions of years to happen,. is now happening in generations.I watch little kids walking towards doors they dont stop because they know its going to open,young children using computers to write and draw.I guess my question is,am I right in thinking that human evolution is accelerating.

Hyun KimJul 18 2012: Human evolution has stopped since the moment we used tools(technology) outside of our own physical capabilities to hunt. This isn't a bad thing, it's just that there's only so much that natural selection is able to do in a given timeframe, but if technology can overcome that speed, then natural selection stops.
Evolution is defined by changing necessary bodily functions to adapt to the surrounding environments. This is how from single atoms, we have evolved into the complex, multicellular organisms that we are today. The moment that we fashioned rocks into tools of hunting was when humans stopped being influenced by natural selection, stopped evolving, but in turn came up with something even greater, technology.
Technology and tools are technically one and the same. An arrowhead is technology, so is pencil and paper. A computer is a much more advanced form of technology, but could not have been conceived without previous advancements in technology, including but not limited to such things as semiconductors, electricity, and even plastic.
Humans are not evolving. They have stopped evolving since the first homo sapien used a sharpened rock to do what his own physical body limited him from doing. Technology is continuously improving, and at the same rate the knowledge available to humans is growing. If humans were to evolve, if it got cold in the winter, we'd start growing fur, and lose it in the summer. That's not how humans work, instead, we use technology, such as a wool sweater or jacket to stay warm in the winter, and loose clothes in the summer. That is technology, and that is human progress.
Hyun Kim
Jul 23 2012: I'm curious as to what makes some people think that evolution has stopped, or that it can stop? Why would evolution stop? Our environment doesn't stop changing, whether naturally or by our own innovations in technology. Evolution takes a very very long time. Longer than a few generations. Were humans 1000 years ago biologically different from us? The "evolution" of technology is not evolution of the species.

One of the last great unspoiled adventure destinations, Labrador is home to the planet's largest herd of caribou, wandering polar bears, awe-inspiring waterfalls and a string of pristine coastal communities that have preserved a raw, nineteenth-century quality despite the onset of wi-fi and SUVs. Travel here takes some planning and can be expensive, but the rewards are considerable; you can still hike or point your kayak anywhere into the interior (most of which is Crown land), and camp, fish or meditate for a couple of days, totally cut off from civilization.
Labrador also has a rich cultural heritage, with two of the most important historic sights in Canada, Red Bay and Battle Harbour, on the coast. Half the population of 29,000 lives here, while the remainder populate the towns of the interior: Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Churchill Falls and Labrador City, each offering quite different experiences. Labrador has a distinct identity to that of Newfoundland, with a diverse ethnic mix of white settlers, Métis, Innu and Inuit; the Labrador flag is flown everywhere with pride. Summer is the most pleasant time to visit, though winter can be fun – especially if you travel by snowmobile – and has the added bonus of seeing the spectacular Northern Lights.Read More
Battle Harbour
Battle Harbour
Spending a night or two on the island of BATTLE HARBOUR is one of the most memorable experiences in Canada. This beautifully restored fishing port is visited by towering icebergs in spring and humpback whales in summer; killer whales often cruise right off the dock. Established in the 1770s, Battle Harbour became one of the world's busiest saltfish, salmon and sealing ports in the nineteenth century; Wilfred Grenfell opened a hospital here in 1893, it was home to a Marconi wireless station from 1904 and was the scene of Robert E. Peary's first news conference after he conquered the North Pole in 1909. A devastating fire in 1930 exacerbated long-term decline, and by the late 1960s most residents had been relocated to Mary's Harbour on the mainland – the last fish merchant was closed in the wake of the 1992 cod moratorium. Since then an epic restoration project by the Battle Harbour Historic Trust has resultedin a clutch of wonderfully evocative old wooden buildings opening to the public,a visitor centre and several walking trails; you can also stay in some of the old houses. Many of the former residents of the town serve as guides and are as equally absorbing as the site itself – prepare for seriously traditional Labrador accents.

Basque whalers at Red Bay
Basque whalers at Red Bay
At its peak in the late sixteenth century, over two thousand men lived in Red Bay during the whaling season, producing half a million gallons of whale oil that was subsequently shipped back to Europe on a month-long voyage. Whale oil was used for light, lubrication and as an additive to drugs, soap and pitch; one 55-gallon barrel could fetch a price equivalent to $10,000 today – so for the Basques the discovery of Labrador's right-whale stocks was tantamount to striking gold. Yet as well as the treacherous journey from Spain to what they knew as Terranova, the Basques withstood terrible hardships to claim their booty. Once in Labrador, they rowed fragile wooden craft called chalupas into these rough seas and then attached drogues to the whales to slow them down. It was then a matter of following their prey for hours until the whale surfaced and could be lanced to death. Three factors brought the whale boom to an end: first, the Basques were so successful that within thirty years they had killed off more than fifteen thousand right whales; second, the industry became more hazardous with early freeze-ups in the 1570s; and, finally, the Basque ships and men were absorbed into the ill-fated Spanish Armada of 1588.
Serious study of the Red Bay area began in 1977, when marine archeologists discovered the remains of three Basque galleons and four chalupas. Land excavations uncovered try-works (where the whale blubber was boiled down into oil), personal artefacts and, in 1982, a cemetery on Saddle Island where the remains of 140 young men were found. Many were lying in groups, indicating that they died as crew members when chasing the whales, but some had not been buried – suggesting at least part of the community died of starvation when an early freeze dashed their chances of getting home.
The Northern Ranger
The Northern Ranger
Northern Labrador is the region at its most remote, yet the coast is fairly easy to explore, thanks to the weekly, summer-only ferry service of the MV Northern Ranger, which is becoming popular as a budget cruise. The foot-passenger-only ship, run by CAI Nunatsiavut Marine (t 1 855 896 2262, w labradorferry.ca), leaves twice-weekly from Goose Bay to Nain, with stops at every larger community along the way. In most cases the hour or so the ferry spends at every stop is plenty to have a look around. Should you decide to stop for longer, you'll have to stay for several days until the ferry docks in again, and will have to ask around for somewhere to stay, though it's generally not too hard to find accommodation. The ferries run from mid-June to late November; soon after this, the Arctic ice pack closes in to seal up the area for the rest of year. The late-season schedule is notoriously unreliable since storms can delay sailings, sometimes for days.
Fares are based on the number of nautical miles travelled, with supplements for cabin space, which you should reserve well in advance, otherwise it's likely you'll have no option but to make yourself as comfortable as possible on the aircraft-style seats. A single trip from Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Nain costs around $142 and $444 for a standard cabin. Prices at the onboard canteen are reasonable but choice is limited and the meals are reminiscent of over-cooked school dinners, so it's worth stocking up on provisions beforehand.
Labrador mine tours
Labrador mine tours
Half of Canada's iron ore output is produced in Labrador West, from canyon-like open pit mines that are serviced by oversized 20m-long dump trucks. The only way to appreciate the super-human scale of what goes on here is to take a mine tour, which you can arrange at the Gateway Labrador Interpretation Centre. The biggest and most mind-boggling facility belongs to Iron Ore Company of Canada in Labrador City; they normally offer regular tours from June to September (Wed & Sun 1pm) for $10.
You can also visit Wabush Mines (free), a slightly smaller operation owned by Cliffs Natural Resources. In both cases, call the Gateway in advance to check the current situation, or contact Destination Labrador.
Driving the Trans-Labrador Highway
Driving the Trans-Labrador Highway
Much of the monumental 1208km Trans-Labrador Highway (TLH), from the Québec border near Labrador City to Blanc-Sablon on the south coast, remains an unpaved, gravel road; it's possible to pass in a normal car, but it's best to opt for 4WD and to only attempt the trip in high summer. If you're renting, another problem might be your rental policy: most firms try to bar drivers from the roughest section of the highway (776km) between Cartwright Junction, Happy Valley and Labrador City. They can't physically stop you ignoring this rule but if you have an accident, insurance may not cover you. Check the latest situation; as the road is gradually paved (around 150km per year), the policy may be loosened. A greater barrier to renting is sheer distance; returning a car to Blanc-Sablon or anywhere in Newfoundland means driving a massive loop of almost 3000km through Québec and the Maritimes via at least two ferries, while one-way drop-off fees are exorbitant.

Reduce Energy Costs
Reduce energy costs and save money
Recent research shows that 40 percent of companies worldwide are paying a lot more attention to energy efficiency now than they did 12 months ago, citing energy cost savings as the number one reason for efficiency programs. The Institute for Building Efficiency 2012 Energy Efficiency Indicator surveyed nearly 3,500 executives, owners and managers of commercial, industrial and institutional buildings to gain insight into their priorities. With cost savings as the most important factor, more than 50 percent of companies said they use these savings to reduce their overall budget.
Working with our customers, Johnson Controls is doing just that – reducing costs. To date, we have saved our private and public sector customers more than $7.5 billion in energy and operating costs. For example, working with Johnson Controls, the owners of the Empire State Building are implementing a comprehensive retrofit program to make the building 38 percent more energy-efficient, reduce operating and occupancy costs, and increase the building's marketability and profitability. Projects to reduce energy costs at Buffalo Public Schools, New York and Wyandotte Public Schools, in Michigan funded improvements that turned aging schools into exceptional learning environments without increasing residents' taxes.
Going hand-in-hand with energy costs savings in commercial, industrial and institutional buildings is reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Johnson Controls projects have cut greenhouse gas emissions by 15 million metric tons, equal to that of 1.3 million homes in one year.
How to reduce energy costs
A structured approach to energy management can help you to identify and implement the best ways to reduce energy costs for your facility. With an ongoing program, you can manage your energy costs and take targeted actions to enhance your facilities including:
- Establishing energy efficiency goals for your organization.
- Identifying and benchmarking your organization's best practices in energy management.
- Determining success metrics and targets for energy efficiency improvements.
- Developing a strategic plan that provides a roadmap for increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions.
- Implementing energy savings systems and equipment such as upgrading or replacing inefficient equipment, installing high-efficiency lighting or installing Johnson Controls Metasys® building management systems to optimize energy and operational efficiency.
- Integrating renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to provide clean, sustainable energy or geothermal heat pumps to heat and cool buildings more efficiently than conventional systems.
Offset project costs via energy savings
There are a number of ways to make your projects affordable. For example, performance contracting is a way to fund improvements by using energy and operational savings to offset a project's costs. This financing model provides relatively quick payback on your investment. Once you've realized that payback, savings typically continue to flow to your bottom line year after year. And, Johnson Controls is committed to providing ongoing support that can help you identify additional savings opportunities and educate occupants on what they can do to reduce energy costs and conserve water.

To learn more about how others like you have achieved lower energy costs, read our case studies. To find out how you can do so, too, contact us or try our building efficiency and energy savings calculator today.

Sun xVM: Another Virtualization Solution
The hot topic of virtualization has developed into a must have for any vendor's portfolio: following Oracle, Sun has now announced its own virtualization and management platform titled xVM.
Both were presented at the Oracle Open World fair (see the separate news item here). Just like Oracle, Sun's server-based solution relies on the free Xen hypervisor. And just like Oracle, Sun's focus is on integrating its own technologies. Sun's Solaris 10 operating system is supported besides Linux and Windows. There is no need to do without Sun's Predictive Self-Healing if you run Solaris 10 as a guest operating system, and Sun promises ZFS support for Linux and Windows.
Administrators can use the "xVM Ops Center" as a tool to manage virtual and physical components. The hardware underpinnings can be 64 bit systems or SPARCs. AMD and Intel suggested their 64 bit Opteron and Xeon CPUs as perfect candidates. And the powers that be at MySQL AB and Quest Software made similar recommendations for database and management products.
