The 12 Best Free WordPress Pinterest Plugins on the Market
As Pinterest continues to grow and innovate, it seems only natural that integrating your WordPress site and your Pinterest account is a smart move. And so below we've collected the 12 best free Pinterest plugins we could find to help you do just that.
As you might expect, there are number of very different types of Pinterest plugins out there. And so first we'll do a quick run-through of the different kinds, and then we'll give you our suggestions for each type.
* Note: Of course many social sharing plugins will have a Pinterest component to them. We have not included any of those here. These plugins below focus solely on Pinterest.
- Pin It Buttons – Probably the most common. The "pin it" button usually sits at the bottom or top of the post, or even on the image itself. It encourages a viewer to pin the images in your post.
- Follow Me Badges – These are basically dressed up links to your Pinterest account. You will find them either in widgets or sometimes coupled with "pin it" buttons.
- Gallery Widgets – These sidebar widgets show galleries from your Pinterest account.
- In-Post Galleries – These plugins give you shortcodes that let you insert galleries from your Pinterest account into Posts or Pages (as opposed to in the sidebar).
- Apply to Galleries – These allow you to apply little "pin it" buttons to each thumbnail in a gallery.
- Verification – These plugins make verifying the ownership of your site with Pinterest easier.
- Blocking – These plugins help you block your images from being pinned on Pinterest.
OK, onto the plugins.
1. Pinterest Pin It Button for Images
Type: Pin It Button
The Pinterest Pin It Button for Images plugin provides a nice, large "Pin It" button on the image when you hover over it. It also fades out/lightens the image itself when you hover so that attention is drawn to the image and the visitor knows something is going on.
There are a few different settings with this plugin. You can choose locations where the button doesn't show up, such as on the home page or on category pages, etc. You can also choose what info will be sent along with the pin, such as the post title, the post title and the link, the website name, etc.
2. Pinterest Pin It Button
Type: Pin It Button
This plugin puts a pin it button at the bottom (or top) of your post. It comes with a number of different settings.
When the button is clicked, you can have your visitor choose from a number of different images (all the images on the page), or you can set a default image (the first image in the post) to be pinned.
You can also choose between a large or small button, a circular or rectangular button, a gray, red, or white button, and also whether to show a pin count or not.
Other choices include which types of pages to show it on (only on single posts, only on the home page, etc.), and where the button appears – above or below the post.
There is also a spot for custom CSS if you're up for that.
3. Pinterest Follow Button
Type: Follow Badge
The Pinterest Follow Button is a badge that provides a catchy graphic link to your Pinterest page. You can choose from a few different pre-installed graphics, or you can even upload your own.
You can easily put these images in your site either though a widget or a shortcode, which you can insert into any Post or Page, of course.
4. Pinterest Pinboard Widget
Type: Gallery Widget
The Pinterest Pinboard Widget will put a gallery style of images from a user's entire board. There is no option to limit the gallery to one specific board.
This plugin lets you control the number of images across the gallery. That said, while it did three images wide for me with no problems, I couldn't seem to get it to go four images wide. And it seems I had enough space in my sidebar, so I'm not really sure what was going on there. (I tried it with two different themes as well.)
Those issues aside, it did look nice when I limited it to three images wide.
5. Easy Pinterest
Type: Gallery Widget
The Easy Pinterest plugin is just as advertised – easy. This simple widget lets you pull from a Pinterest user's entire account (no specific board option). It also lets you put in a title for the widget, and it lets you choose how many images to show. And that's it.
While limited in the number of options it offers, it does look very nice and seems to fill out the sidebar evenly, something a few of the other plugins seemed to have issues with. And so even though it's simple, it does look nice.
6. Pretty Pinterest Pins
Type: Gallery Widget
The Pretty Pinterest Pins plugin is a widget that lets you call in the latest images from either the whole account of a user or one particular board. You can choose the number of images to show (up to 25), and there's also an option to show an image's caption and a "Follow Me" button as well.
One possible drawback on this plugin is that you do not have the option of controlling the size of the images, and so they may end up looking a little too narrow in your sidebar.
7. Pinterest RSS Widget
Type: Gallery Widget & In-Post Gallery
The Pinterest RSS Widget plugin gives you a widget to work with, of course, but it also gives you a shortcode you can use to pull images into a Post or Page. The screenshot above is the shortcode in action.
The sidebar widget gives you a number of options, such as letting you pull from an entire account or a specific board. It also lets you determine the number of images to show, the height and width of the images, whether or not to show a title, and whether or not to open a new window.
This plugin also includes a "Follow Me" button at the bottom of the widget or the gallery (via the shortcode). You can choose different sizes for that, or you can disable it altogether.
8. Alpine Photo Tile for Pinterest
Type: In-Post Gallery
The Alpine Photo Tile for Pinterest plugin allows you to put photos from a Pinterest user or a Pinterest board into your Posts or Pages with a shortcode.
Unquestionably, the strength of this plugin lies both in all the options it gives you and in the easy-to-use shortcode generator.
A user of the Alpine plugin can choose no less than eight different basic styles for the galleries. You can also control the photos per row, the size of the photos, the maximum number of photos, and more.
You make all of these choices by either filling out boxes or using pulldown menus. When you're finished, simply hit the "Generate Shortcode" button, and the rather complex shortcode needed is created for you on the fly.
This is a very handy plugin for anyone looking to place Pinterest images inside of a Post or Page.
9. Eewee Pinterest
Type: In-Post Gallery
While not anywhere near as robust at the Alpine Photo plugin above, the Eewee Pinterest plugin lets you put a Pinterest board into a Post or a Page with a shortcode. It also lets you control not only the height and width of the board itself, but also the width of the images inside the board (the height of the images will scale with the width). So this is a convenient plugin.
It does come with an option to put your board into your header or your footer, but I found that didn't really work well for me. It just put the board all the way to the left side of my site, outside of the main content frame.
Using the shortcode inside of a Post or Page, however, did work fine for me.
10. Pinterest for Galleries
Type: Apply to Galleries
This plugin adds a little "Pin It" button under each thumbnail in a native WordPress gallery. There are no settings for it. Simply activate it, and it should work.
It should be noted that if have a special type of plugin for your galleries, or if your theme styles your galleries, then it may not work.
11. Pinterest Verify
Type: Verification
In your Pinterest account, you can verify that you actually own the site you say own by getting a special code from this page. Once your account is verified, you will see a little check mark (as in the image above) on your pages showing that you do indeed own that site.
The only problem is you either have to upload an html file to your server, or you need to insert some code into your template. Some people don't like to mess with that type of stuff, and so the Pinterest Verify plugin helps with that.
It gives you a simple box to paste your code into. (The instructions in the plugin will tell you where to find the code.) It's a much cleaner solution than the ones Pinterest offers.
Note: I tried this out, and at first it told me my site wasn't verified. But when I tried to do it again, suddenly it said it actually was verified. This happened on two different test sites, so if you get that message, have a little patience. You may be verified after all.
12. Pinterest Block
Type: Blocking
This plugin will automatically add the "nopin" tag to your content. The "nopin" tag is the official meta tag created by Pinterest to let sites opt out of having their images pinned.
This plugin lets you choose which pages to apply the nopin tag to – only the homepage, single pages, etc.

We thought Nalbandian suffered enough yesterday after taking out his frustrations on the base of a linesman's chair. The wooden board splintered, drawing blood from the confused and angry judge, and Nalbandian was disqualified from the final of the Aegon Championships (not a Game of Thrones reference, we don't think.) He lost his shot at a title, he'll be fined, and he'll lose any earnings from the tournament. Bad enough, right?
Well, someone narced. Following a formal complaint, London police are now investigating whether Nalbandian should be charged with assault on the line judge, Andrew McDougall.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "We are aware of an incident at the Aegon Championships on 17 June. A complaint has been made and the Metropolitan police service is now investigating. The allegation is of assault."
Holy shit, someone's being a giant baby. Probably McDougall? I'm not sure if the complaint has to come from the victim, but I can't imagine any fans in attendance or ATP officials running to call the police after they saw a tennis player get frustrated and kick the nearest solid object. My word! That Argie's acting a right ASBO!
Nalbandian has apologized, in one of those weird "but the ATP is also at fault, for unrelated reasons" apologies. Maybe everyone should move on, and stop trying to lay the groundwork for a lawsuit payoff. Or perhaps someone's looking to cause an international incident? The Falklands War ended 30 years ago last week, and England is in dire need of a good, quick war.

Charlie Macpherson creates unique pieces of hand blown contemporary glass art. His approach balances the simplicity of form with a more complicated use of line and pattern. He also incorporates cane techniques into the blowing process before polishing or highlighting certain elements of interest.
For Charlie working with blown glass is a very hand's on experience, and the challenge has always been to make work that uses the natural qualities of light, colour, and transparency, creating pieces that are nothing less than aesthetically stimulating. He enjoys designing pieces that invite the viewer to look more closely at the intricate details he incorporates, allowing them to appreciate more than may have been visible at first glance.
Charlie has won many awards for his work and exhibits internationally. His pieces can be found in both private and public collections.

Hi Everyone!
On November 15, 2010 Dick Eastman had a post on his blog that indicated the popular genealogy TV series "Who Do You Think You Are" will return to the air for new episodes on NBC on January 21, 2011 at 7 PM (Central time) and at 8 PM (Eastern time).
The show originally premiered in the spring of 2010 during which 7 episodes aired highlighting the genealogical research that was shown for 7 popular entertainment stars.
The show is now coming back for another run and hopefully for even more episodes.
I tried to search the NBC website to see if the network provided any schedule of who will be appearing in 2011 when the show returns. So far, I could not find any scheduling information for the new series other than NBC posting a one liner for the show home page on NBC that it will be returning on January 21, 2011.
I found the show to be extremely entertaining and even somewhat emotional because we were hearing from Hollywood stars the same emotions expressed that we as everyday researchers also express when we make some discoveries on our ancestors.
If only someone could hand over to us the same research successes that you see on the show!! Research is hard, tedious and laborious. I only wish I could walk into an archive or depository and have someone show me all I need to know from original ledgers on my own ancestors!!
The show is still entertaining and informative but the actual research is not as easy as it is shown unless you are obviously a Hollywood superstar and someone else has done the brunt of the work!
I guess it does look good when a Susan Sarandon sits in front of a microfilm reader and cranks the film like you or I would do. You really wonder how much work they really do in real life or are they just there for that 30 second view of them doing some research??
But after all it is TV entertainment first and foremost.
Now is the time to revisit the NBC website for the show at www.nbc.com and become familiar with all that is there. When you arrive at the NBC site click on the link for "Shows" and then select the show name for "Who Do You Think You Are" to get to all of the details and past episodes of the show itself. Visit the site and even take some time to review online the 7 past episodes from early 2010. If you did not see any of the episodes now would be the time to familiarize yourself with what the program has to offer in anticipation of the new upcoming season at the NBC website.
Mark your calendars for January 21, 2011 (Friday) at 7 PM in our time zone for the premier of this year's episodes of "Who Do You Think You Are".

Monhegan Island, ME
Roots on the Rocks Trip with Ellis Paul!!
Monhegan Island, ME
2018 Roots on the Rocks
with ELLIS PAUL and friends SAM BAKER and ANTJE DUVEKOT
Portland-Monhegan-Freeport-Portland, ME
Ten miles off the formidable rocky coastline of Maine, Monhegan Island with a year-round population of 65 hardy souls, has long been welcoming painters, hikers, birders, sea kayakers, and others in search of an unplugged, scaled-back escape. Accessible only by boat (we take the mail ferry over!), Monhegan boasts no paved roads, virtually no cell signal, and a commitment to careful stewardship of its natural resources and way of life.
It is a gem of a place, perfect for hosting a trio of the finest singer-songwriters working today, Ellis Paul, Sam Baker and Antje Duvekot, and a small group of their fans and friends. We hope you'll consider joining us for this unique musical journey to one of Maine's legendary outpost island communities!
By day, we'll explore the rocky and uninhabited islands of Musgongus Bay, visit with local lobstering crews, connect with the artists who have claimed Monhegan as their muse and hike the miles of spectacular trails along the pristine coastline. In the evenings we'll gather for intimate, entirely acoustic, concerts in the village church - a unique opportunity to hear the music of world-class artists in its most elemental form.
Sunday, June 10th: For those who wish to extend their adventure, we're offering this pre-trip add-on option. We gather in Portland, ME, a city with a burgeoning restaurant and arts scene. Multiple carriers service the Portland International Jetport, and Amtrak's Downeaster train runs between Boston's North Station and downtown Portland. We are planning a kick-off concert in town and overnight in a downtown hotel. Details TBA.
Monday, June 11th: We and board our chartered motor coach in downtown Portland to head up the coast to Port Clyde, where we'll have a chance to have lunch and visit the Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum -- yup, it's the one from Forrest Gump. Then we board the Monhegan Boat Line ferry for the one hour trip across Muscongus Bay. We'll be traveling with the local mail, gardening supplies, lumber, fishing gear, and other ephemera of life on these outpost islands. Our journey takes us past grey seal colonies and puffin rookeries before we arrive at the Village Dock on Monhegan Island. One of the island's few authorized pickup trucks ferries our luggage up the hill, while we take a leisurely stroll (0.3 mi) to our home for the next few days, the Monhegan House, where we'll have dinner, perhaps some informal music around the fire, and then retire to the sounds of ocean breezes and crashing surf.
Tuesday, June 12, Wednesday, June 13, and Thursday, June 14: On Monhegan Island.
After a hearty breakfast served at the hotel each morning, you are free to structure your days as you wish. We'll have maps of the twelve miles of hiking trails, an island gallery guide, and other resources with which to fill the day. There are yoga classes, massage, and other self-care activities available, artist's studios and galleries to visit, a great local brewpub just a brief stroll away from our front door… and we have three full days to enjoy the island, so pace yourselves.
Each day on island we'll be offering an activity such as seal and/or puffin watching, lighthouse tours, sea kayaking, exploring the legacy of the legendary Wyeth painting clan, and other excursions that will give you a taste of the unique history, culture, and natural environment of the region.
Lunch and Dinner are on your own, with many delicious options scattered around the village. The daily activity schedule has not yet been cast in stone, as much is weather-dependent, but we're aiming for a broad selection of activities to suit a variety of interests and energy levels, with enough time built in to let the unhurried and uncomplicated pace of the island really sink in.
Ellis and the other artists will be collaborating on a songwriting workshop on one of these days (most likely the one with the dodgiest forecast), so you'll have an opportunity to learn about and practice the craft with artists at the peak of their talents. We'll also be building in opportunities for Open Mics (without microphones), and informal song circles around the fireplace or out on the rocks overlooking the harbor are encouraged. Bring your instruments!
Each evening there will be a full music program at the Monhegan Church, directly across the path from our hotel's front door. These extraordinary, intimate evenings of music will take place in a lovely, oil lamp-lit sanctuary in which we'll enjoy our guest artists unplugged in a pristine "listening room" environment. Our last night on the island concludes with a lobster/clambake on the beach (or served inside the hotel if the weather is acting up).
Friday, June 15th: After a last breakfast at the Monhegan House and a final morning on the island, we'll head back across the bay to Port Clyde, where our bus will pick us up and take us down Maine's storied Route 1, passing through Damariscotta, Wiscasset, and other coastal communities to Freeport, where we'll make an extended lunch stop, giving you the opportunity to visit the legendary flagship LL Bean store and do some outlet shopping (it's the law – everyone who visits Maine has to stop at LL Bean). Late afternoon finds us back in Portland where we take in an evening concert and spend a final hotel overnight.
Saturday, June 16: Trip participants head home.
Please note, that due to water conservation efforts and delicate island plumbing, virtually all hotel rooms on Monhegan operate with shared restroom and shower facilities on each floor. The rooms we still have available on Monhegan for 6/11 - 6/14 all have shared restroom and shower facilities. At the Portland hotel on 6/15, all guests will have private baths.
Reserving your space is simple:
A.) For maximum savings, use the pay all-at-once option
B.) Pay your $300 per person deposit to hold the space and lock in the price, then return within 14 days and pay your balance or call us to set up a monthly payment schedule.

ELLIS PAUL: Born a stone's throw from the US/ Canadian border in Aroostook County, Ellis' Maine roots run deep. A meticulous and lyrical chronicler of the times we live in and the times we've lived through, Ellis' work draws deeply from the traditions of American folk music as well as his own extensive travels and experiences, spanning almost three decades of life on the road, nineteen albums, multiple awards and recognitions, and countless collaborations with other artists. He's consistently played over 200 shows a year, at virtually every venue, festival, concert hall and coffehouse in existence and along the way has cemented his rightful place in the story of American music.
SAM BAKER: Much has been written about the resonant poetry that weaves through Texas-based Sam Baker's music and songwriting. Much has also been written about the 1986 bomb blast on a train car in Peru that almost ended Sam's life and career, leaving him to re-learn walking, speaking, singing, and playing the guitar. It's sort of impossible to consider the totality of his work without also considering the impact of such an event, and that's part of what makes Sam's such a unique and fascinating voice on the musical landscape. His songs are crafted with a clarity and urgency that requires a listener's attention; they do not shy away from suffering, but rather invite us to examine our own. You might think he'd be a rather dark and gloomy feller to hang around with, but exactly the opposite is true, which is why we've invited him to join us on quite a few Roots on the Rails adventures. He's good fun.
ANTJE DUVEKOT: Widely regarded as one of the New England's premiere performers and songwriters, Antje has won critical acclaim, as well as top awards such as the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the prestigious Kerrville "Best New Folk Award" and the Boston Music Award for "Outstanding Folk Act". Antje has played the Newport Folk Festival as well as the Mountain Stage, Philadelphia and Kerrville Festivals. Internationally, she's headlined the Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland and the Tonder Festival in Denmark. Her songs paint pictures of lyrical and melodic complexity, delivered through one of the loveliest vocal instruments on the scene today.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip. By purchasing through this link to Squaremouth (an aggregator where various insurance company policies can be compared at no additional cost to you), we receive a small commission (about five percent). This helps us keep our trips as affordable as possible. On virtually every trip we have someone who needs to cancel at the last minute due to injury or illness, family emergency, or any number of unexpected circumstances. Those who had purchased the trip insurance were disappointed to be missing the trip, but very relieved that they were not losing all the funds they had paid us, the airlines, hotels, and others. Those who did not purchase the trip insurance were really, really sad to lose a train trip and a bunch of money too. We'd hate to see you be one of those people, which is why we stress the importance of trip insurance. Really, truly, we think it is worth it.
Cancellation policy: Deposits are non-refundable, though can be applied to a future trip with us. Outside of deposit and credit card fees, full refund will be given up until 90 days prior to start of trip. 50% refund 60-90 days. No refund less than 60 days prior to start of trip.

Volkswagen To Pay $2.8B Criminal Fine In US Diesel Emission Scandal
DETROIT — Volkswagen must pay a $2.8 billion criminal fine for purposely building a diesel engine equipped with software to cheat on greenhouse gas emissions tests.
U.S. District Judge Sean Cox on Friday accepted a plea agreement reached in January between the automaker and the federal government.
Cox said the $2.8 billion criminal penalty is large enough, even though Volkwagen's offenses, spanning a decade, were done on purpose.
"This is a case of deliberate massive fraud perpetrated by VW management," Cox said today. "This case also involves a failure of the VW supervisory board, which is government, labor and shareholders."
The $2.8 billion fine is part of a larger $4.3 billion settlement reached in January between Volkswagen and the the U.S. Justice Department.
By imposing the fine, and accepting Volkswagen's agreement to be overseen by a federal monitor, the judge also accepted the deal between the government and the company.
Lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice had argued a month ago that the $4.3 billion settlement was adequate even though it was only a fraction of penalty that U.S. law allowed, which would have ranged from $17 billion to $34 billion.
U.S. Attorney John Neal argued in March that the lower figure was a punishment that fit the crime because Volkswagen went to great lengths to cooperate with the government and move the investigation along swiftly after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency charged the automaker with wrongdoing in September 2015.
Volkswagen also has agreed to civil settlements worth about $17 billion for U.S. consumers and dealers who own the automaker's diesel vehicles.
However, the automaker also spent months trying to conceal the device even after the California Air Resources Board began asking questions.
In a span of several weeks, about 40 employees at Volkswagen and Audi destroyed thousands of emails and documents in the days before the company admitted wrong doing to regulators, according to the forthcoming book Faster, Higher, Farther, by Jack Ewing.
Cox initially said the government's agreement might not be enough.
On Friday, Cox noted that consumers and low-level employees are those that were hurt the most by Volkswagen's actions.
so, Cox overruled several objections to the plea agreement that would have allowed individuals to seek criminal restitution from the courts. Cox said individual owners of the affected cars are able to pursue repairs or reimbursements through a separate multi-billion civil settlement Volkswagen has already agreed to.
"This corporate greed, this failure of management…has cost VW billions and billions of dollars," Cox said. "The individuals who will be hurt the most are the working men and women at VW," who likely will not get bonuses or raises because of the financial burden caused by actions of higher ranking company officials."
Before Cox imposed his sentence Manfred Doess, the automaker's general counsel, again appeared on behalf of the world's largest automaker to apologize and vowed that the company's corporate culture is changing.
"This conduct was not consistent with the values of this company and plain and simple it was wrong.
We let people down and for that we are deeply sorry," Doess said. "Volkswagen today is not the same company that it was 18 months ago," he said.

Hard cider is a tasty option for anyone looking for a gluten free beverage, Urban Farm Fermentory produces some of my favorite hard ciders and as a bonus they are a local company based out of Portland Maine.
Fermented By: Urban Farm Fermentory
Purchased: Bangor Wine and Cheese
This Cidah pours a golden yellow color with a steady visible carbonation, looking close I can see some yeast floating around in there but otherwise very clear.
This is one of my favorite ciders, it's dry hopped with cascades so it has a nice floral nose like a pale or India pale ale. Citrus and a light grassy hop aroma blend together with the tart, crisp apple.
This cider is wild fermented dry so it's not sweet at all; its flavor is very crisp, there is a nice tart, almost sour apple flavor and a slightly grassy, earthy flavor, very refreshing.
Overall a really nice cider, Urban Farm Fermentory continues to impress me with their flavorful fermented beverages and the stubby bottles are the coolest thing on the shelf. If you enjoy ciders or kombucha (which is also gluten free) I strongly encourage you to check out what Urban Farms Fermentory has going on.

Have you ever wondered why so many scientific words are 'Latin' or 'Greek'? Many of the sciences have Latin or Greek names. Even the word 'Science' itself is of Latin origin (scientia means knowledge). However, the Greeks and Romans did not believe in just one God. They were polytheists. This raises the question: who were those gods and goddesses that inspired these ancient polytheists? Virgil himself in the GEORGICA writes of Ceres, the goddess of grain and agriculture, Aristaeus, the planter of groves, Bacchus the god of wine, the goddess Minerva 'the bringer of the olive', Pan 'guardian of the flocks' and Jupiter (Zeus, ζευζ ) the supreme ruler of the universe.
About the Georgica
This critical analysis of the GEORGICA by Virgil (written in so-called Golden Latin in 28 BCE) will demonstrate that these ancient deities were the transmitters of knowledge that science would only confirm many centuries later. But first we must caution our readers. Latin cannot always be translated into English due to its complex, refined syntax and grammar. Latin is a unique language unlike any other language in the world. Words that mean one thing in English may have multiple meanings in Latin that cannot be translated accurately. We are using transliterations, but the pure, original, uncorrupted and preserved Latin will always be consulted in case of doubt. Please keep an open mind when you read this paper and join us on this scientific voyage of discovery.
Before we begin our journey, it should also be stressed that no Latin scholar, even if he or she were not a polytheist, has ever met the challenge of producing lines that resemble Virgil's divine poetry. Furthermore, we know from many examples of extant manuscripts written in Europe's monasteries during the Middle Ages, that there have been no disagreements among experts as to what was the precise content of Virgil's poetry. As classical scholar Dr. Dianne Tillotson has observed:
These copies were made in monasteries, often many hundreds of miles apart from one another, throughout Europe. Yet despite the distances involved and the lack of communication between these diverse centers of culture and learning, no discrepancy has ever been detected between the manuscript copies of Virgil's works, thereby attesting to their perfect, if not miraculous, preservation.
Literary Value of the Georgica
It should also not be forgotten that Virgil's influence has never waned in Western culture - even among Christians. Indeed, Virgil acted as mentor and guide for the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321 CE) in his masterpiece, the Divine Comedy. Virgil accompanies Dante into the circles of an imagined Hell where, among the schismatics, deceivers and scandalmongers, they see the writhing body of one of the condemned, a certain Mahomet. Inspired by Virgil, Dante gives a vivid and ominous description of this inmate of the Inferno.
The Nature of the Miracles found in the Georgica
Are the GEORGICA merely pastoral poetry as so many people have always thought or are they books of divine revelation? With our painstaking research we have uncovered various types of miracles in the Liber Primus of the GEORGICA concerning:
- Biology (Biologia)
- Mathematics (Mathematica) (which is of course numerology)
- Physics (Phsycia)
- Climatology (Climatologia)
- Cosmology (Cosmologia)
- Geology (Geologia)
- Geography (Geografia)
- Biochemistry (Biochemia)
- Meteorology (Meteorologia)
- Agronomy (Agranomia)
- Economics (Economica)
- Prophecy or foreknowledge of future events (Oraculum Divina)
Case by Case Analysis of some Miracles in the First Book of the Georgica
The Earth is Spinning around its Axis (Cosmology)
English Translation: "What makes the cornfield smile; beneath what star, Maecenas, it is meet to turn the earth and fasten vines to elms?"
These are the very first lines of the GEORGICA. Of course we should look a bit deeper into the text to find the true divine wisdom hidden within this beautiful piece of poetry. Let's investigate the 'quo sidere terram vertere', since this has a very significant meaning and at first glance already seems to contain at least three scientifically accurate statements.
- quo = 'what' from qui (pronomen interogativum, ablitavus, singularis, neutr.)
- sidere = 'star' from sidus (ablativus, singularis, neutr.)
- terram = 'earth' from terra (accusativus, singularis, fem.)
- vertere = 'turn' or 'spin' (infinitivus)
Virgil is clearly writing about the earth's 'spinning' (vertere: changing its orientation facing a certain direction) around its own axis, something modern science has only recently discovered. This is a revolutionary insight (no pun intended). More primitive cultures many centuries later would still regard the earth as 'fixed' like a flattened abode, pinned down by mountains and a firm place to live, but Virgil is saying that it is in fact spinning! How did Virgil know this? DId he have a space rocket to observe the earth spinning?
The Sun is a Star amongst Many Others (Cosmology)
English Translation: "What makes the cornfield smile; beneath what star, Maecenas, it is meet to turn the earth and fasten vines to elms?"
Let's take a look at the word sidere (in verse 1:4). Sidus means star. We should first bear in mind that the sun is the most important celestial body to all farmers and Roman civilization was an agricultural society. The celestial body mentioned (especially in the context of the GEORGICA) is most certainly the sun.
Why would a poet born in the first century before Christ refer to the sun as 'a star' (using the word sidus and not the word sol) unless he knew it was in fact a star? More primitive cultures still thought (until quite recently) that the sun set in a muddy spring, prostrated itself beneath some mythical godhead's throne and that the stars were quite separate bodies fixed in the lower part of the heavens and used as missiles to chase away imaginary spirits. Virgil correctly and accurately identifies the sun as a star amongst many others. How could Virgil be talking about the sun as a star (which is exactly what modern science teaches us) without some divine source of inspiration? How would it have been possible that he simply 'guessed' the truth?
The Earth is Orbiting the Sun: Heliocentricity (Cosmology)
English Translation: "What makes the cornfield smile; beneath what star, Maecenas, it is meet to turn the earth and fasten vines to elms?"
Now let's look at the case of the word sidere, in this case an ablative is used. One use of the ablative is to designate a spatial relation between two objects: it is called an ablativus loci. So a more accurate translation of this verse would be: 'in relation to what star is the earth to move in a circular path?' This means that Virgil already knew that the earth is rotating around the sun (a circular movement in relation to it). Virgil accurately describes the Sun as the centre of our solar system and not the earth.
The latter view formed part of the prevalent notion of our universe in ancient times and many primitive and backward people would still believe for centuries that the sun was orbiting around the earth only to re-emerge in the east the following day.
Seasons are Caused by the Tilt of the Earth's Axis and its Position Relative to the Sun (Cosmology, Climatology)
English Translation: "What makes the cornfield smile; beneath what star, Maecenas, it is meet to turn the earth and fasten vines to elms?"
Look again at quo sidere. We've established that it is an ablativus loc and that it clarifies the earth's circular path around the sun. But there is more hidden in these majestic words of golden Latin. It relates the appropriate times for planting and growing crops to this position. The earth's position relative to the sun (during it's yearly orbit around it) is exactly what causes the change of seasons on our planet. The earth's axis is slightly tilted, relative towards its heliocentric orbit. Whichever half (the northern or the southern) is facing the sun is experiencing summer at that time, the other is experiencing winter. It's simply amazing that Virgil somehow knew of this and it's even more amazing that he managed to express all this divine knowledge into so few words.
Photosynthesis in Plants and Crops (Biology)
We seem to have 'skipped' the first 4 words in this classic poem. Let's take a second look at them.
English Translation: "What makes the cornfields smile?"
It seems these 4 words make very little sense: cornfields do not smile and we can imagine that for centuries people who read them must have thought: "Virgil is a great poet but his statements are not true according to modern science!" Let's see what these words actually mean shall we?
- Quid = 'what' from quid (pronomen interogativum, nominativus, singularis, neutr.)
- Faciat = 'makes' from facio (verbum, 3rd person singular presens)
- Laetas = 'fertile' or 'happy' from laetus (adiectivum, accusativus, pluralis, fem.)
- Segetes = 'acre' or 'cultivated fields' from seges (substantivum, pluralis, fem.)
Wait a minute! The sun isn't making the fields smile or making them happy: it is recharging plants on those fields (seges means cultivated field, one with crops on it) with energy so things can grow and flourish. Modern scientists have only recently discovered that this is exactly what plants are doing. Plants absorb the energy of the sun and thus produce fruits, nuts and seeds. The typical overall chemical reaction of this process is: 6H2O + 6CO2 + light _ C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2; the energy contained in crops (the plants on those segetes) comes from the light of the sun not from the water of from the carbon on earth. This process is called 'photosynthesis' and was absolutely unknown to the Romans of the first century before Christ. How could Virgil have written specifically about this many centuries before photosynthesis was actually discovered by modern science? Did he just make a lucky guess or was he divinely inspired?
The Perfect Duration of a Year (Cosmology)
English Translation: "O brightest light of the world which moves the passing year in the sky."
It is difficult to see how even the most skeptical readers (unless the gods of the underworld continue to veil their minds) on reading these lines can remain unconvinced of the divine miracle of the GEORGICA. Through this revelation to Virgil and the rest of mankind, the gods and goddesses are clearly asserting that it is indeed our world that "moves the year", i.e. it is the planet earth that rotates around the star that is our sun. What we call a "year" is produced by the movements of the earth and not, as it would seem to any human observer 2000 years ago, by the movements of the sun. Hence the divinities are developing (and in verses of inimitable beauty) the insights contained in the very first lines.
Need we stress once again that it took more than 1500 years for scientists to confirm the truths revealed in the GEORGICA? Furthermore the gods and goddesses are prophesying that science will confirm their revelations. The words "O clarissima mundi lumina" (in the vocative case used for addressing people) are no doubt also directed at the enlightened minds of the world that will scientifically confirm what the divinities have expressed in poetry. All this stands in stark contrast, for example, to the unenlightened minds that six hundred years later in other parts of the world will fail to understand anything whatsoever about the real movements of our planet and its relation to the sun. In many primitive cultures not the sun but the moon is used to calculate the years. These crude and inaccurate lunar calendars are mainly used today by primitive cultures, mainly for religious purposes.
The Solar Calender is best used for Agriculture (Cosmology, Agronomy)
English Translation: "What makes the cornfield smile; beneath what star, Maecenas, it is meet to turn the earth and fasten vines to elms?"
Lets take another look at the first verses. These verses confirm that it is the sun (and not the moon) that dictates the times of year, they also tell us that the star(!) we call our sun dictates the seasons best for planting. Not only do we know that the solar instead is superior and far more accurate than the lunar calender invented by more primitive cultures. To use the lunar calendar for planting crops would be suicide!
Manure, Micro Organisms and Soil (Biology, Chemistry, Agronomy)
English Translation: "Don't be ashamed to saturate the arid soil with rich manure, and scatter charred ashes over the weary fields."
The divinities' omniscience extends from the sun to the soil. The GEORGICA first tells us to be unashamed of something that we might feel ashamed about. Indeed, who would have the idea of spreading manure and ashes (substances naturally associated with decay and death) over fields to make them more fertile? Ignorant people in the Arabian peninsula will be told in a book that they still consider to be a guide, that their god provides them with all the fruits of the earth without their having to intervene in any way. But the Roman divinities knew that humans, if they are taught to increase the fertility of the soil, can make plants more productive. Let us examine more closely what these recommendations are and how the knowledge contained in them could only have a divine source.
First, manure has value as both a soil conditioner (preventing compaction and crusting) and a source of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It also increases the water holding ability of the soil and provides a more favorable environment for beneficial micro-organisms invisible to the human eye. No human in Virgil's day knew anything about the importance of micro-organisms and how these, with the help of manure, can make agricultural land more fertile.
No-one in Virgil's day knew that ash has a high nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash content. No-one in Virgil's day knew about the chemical interactions between the soil's compounds and those contained in manure and ash. No-one 2000 years ago could possibly have known that crops remove nitrogen and phosphoric acid from the soil and that what crops remove humans can restore through the use of ash and manure. Truly, it can be seen that the GEORGICA is not only a source of divine knowledge but at the same time is also a Book of Clear Guidance. In comparison, the so-called guidebook produced in Arabia more than six hundred years later can only be described as excrementum bovis whose recommendations will inevitably lead to infertile, unproductive and even dangerous practices.
The Earth is Spherical (Cosmology)
English Translation: "Five zones comprise the earth: of which one is bright with the glittering sun and always burned by his flames: round this extreme at the sky's ends, two zones are layered with ice and darkened by storms, two more have been given to weak humanity, by the grace of the gods."
The GEORGICA also states that that Arctic and Antarctic regions are rounded extremes ("quam circum extremae"). The two polar regions are indeed the two rounded extremes of our planet, thereby confirming once again that the Roman gods and goddesses revealed to Virgil that the earth is round and not flat. It is interesting to note that a certain work that is considered by many people to be God's last revelation to mankind not only never mentions the common phenomenon of ice even once, but gives its readers absolutely no indication concerning the existence of the polar regions. It is also apparent that the so-called God who revealed this latter text thought that the earth was flat.
The Earth is Divided into Several Climatic Zones (Geography, Climatology)
English Translation: "Five zones comprise the earth: of which one is bright with the glittering sun and always burned by his flames: round this extreme at the sky's ends, two zones are layered with ice and darkened by storms, two more have been given to weak humanity, by the grace of the gods."
Miracle upon miracle! In Virgil's days it would have been impossible for any human being to guess correctly that the earth is indeed divided into five zones, the intensely hot equatorial/tropical zone which separates the two temperate zones in the southern and northern hemispheres and beyond which lie the two polar regions 'layered in ice'.
Moderate Zones are Best for Living (Economics, Geography)
English Translation: "Five zones comprise the earth: of which one is bright with the glittering sun and always burned by his flames: round this extreme at the sky's ends, two zones are layered with ice and darkened by storms, two more have been given to weak humanity, by the grace of the gods."
The Roman divinities smile upon mortals who happen to live in the temperate areas of the world. It is these temperate areas, such as are found in Europe, Japan, North America or even New Zealand that beneficent divinities chose above all others for humanity to progress and prosper. For reasons which we can only surmise, the divinities in all probability did not favor peoples such as desert-dwellers living outside these temperate areas.
We can thus safely conclude that the gods and goddesses who inspired Virgil to write the GEORGICA were both omniscient and benevolent and, through their incomparable knowledge and recommendations, wished human beings to thrive and prosper, at least in the earth's temperate zones.
We should contrast this with the state of countries outside the temperate zones and in which many people still hold to the primitive belief that a certain work penned in Arabic in the seventh century is the ultimate source of truth and enlightenment. Many of these countries are among the most economically backward in the world today and they are almost all ruled by despotic tyrants. The wealth that some of them possess is due solely to the discoveries and technical know-how of men who emerged from the same societies where Virgil is still held in the highest esteem.
The Discovery of the North and South Pole and their Harsh Conditions (Geography, Climatology)
English Translation: "Five zones comprise the earth: of which one is bright with the glittering sun and always burned by his flames: round this extreme at the sky's ends, two zones are layered with ice and darkened by storms, two more have been given to weak humanity, by the grace of the gods."
No-one 2000 years ago living in the Mediterranean basin knew about the existence of the Arctic let alone the Antarctic region. No-one knew about the storms that lashed these regions continuously. Indeed the Antarctic region (first discovered in the 18th Century) experiences some of the fiercest storms in the world.
Cyclonic storms travel eastward around the Antarctic continent and frequently are intense because of the temperature contrast between ice and the open ocean. The ocean area from about 40 degree south latitude to the Antarctic Circle has the strongest average wind velocities found anywhere on Earth.
The Holes in the Ozone Layer (Meteorology)
English Translation: "Five zones comprise the earth: of which one is bright with the glittering sun and always burned by his flames: round this extreme at the sky's ends, two zones are layered with ice and darkened by storms, two more have been given to weak humanity, by the grace of the gods."
The sky's end? Isn't the sky without ends or holes? Does the sky have an end?
Yes it does: it's called the hole in the ozone layer. Actually, there's two: one at the north and the other at the south pole (the extremes of the earth) The ozone layer can be depleted by free radical catalysts. Over approximately 5% of the Earth's surface, around the north and south poles, large (seasonal) declines in the Ozone layer have been observed; these are what we call the ozone holes.
Not only does Virgil accurately describe the fact that the ozone layers have holes in it, it accurately described their number (two) and where they are located: at the north and at the south pole. This is a scientific fact that was only discovered in the modern age, using the latest in technology, at the end of the 20th century! How did a Roman Polytheist stumble upon this knowledge? Many more primitve cultures long after Virgil still believed the Sky was like a perfect dome, built on invisible pillars so no part of it could fall (!) down on earth.
We can safely say that the GEORGICA are a work of Miracles. In the very first eight words alone of the GEORGICA we find no less than five - there's probably many more! - scientifically accurate statements of which Virgil himself (born in the first century before Christ) could not have had any knowledge of, due to science only confirming them many centuries later.
To summarize:
- Virgil somehow knew the sun is a star amongst many other stars.
- Virgil somehow knew the earth is spinning around its axis.
- Virgil somehow knew about our heliocentric solar system centuries before modern science actually discovered this.
- Virgil somehow knew about the tilt of the earth's axis and its relation to our seasons.
- Virgil somehow knew of photosynthesis, many centuries before modern science discovered this to be true.
These are just five scientific miracles in eight words of Latin, the most beautiful language of the world and clearly the language spoken by the Gods in heaven!
If we read verses 234 to 237 we see that:
- Virgil somehow knew the earth is spherical,
- Virgil somehow knew the earth is divided into several climatic zones,
- Virgil somehow knew that the moderate zones are best for living,
- Virgil somehow knew there are two poles, which are extremely cold,
- Virgil somehow knew there are two holes in the ozone layer above the two poles.
That's five more miracles in just three verses! It seems the GEORGICA are full of these divine pearls of wisdom, wherever we look we find them. Is there any text in the world more densely packed with such scientifically accurate knowledge? What divine source could have whispered all this into Virgil's ear? Virgil was a polytheist, who worshiped many different gods. Let the honest reader draw his or her own conclusions. All we request is that you look upon this with an open mind.

Fr. Robert Barron on "Agora"
Here is a textbook example of how a lie get popularized and becomes pseudoknowledge. Our Manufacturers of Culture, under the influence of powers and principalities, are slowly and surely preparing our culture to undertake a pogrom. Again and again, outright lies about Christians and their history get promulgated while we are told that it is "impeccable research" as, incredibly, the Da Vinci Code was described by one reviewer. Or, we get the ill-informed tracts by New Atheists that would embarrass any real atheist. But, above all, we begin to get the toxicity making its way into popular visual media like Agora.
The reason this matters is that visual media tend to bypass the critical intellect, and we live increasingly in a post-textual age. People get less and less of what they "know" about the world from reading books and processing arguments through critical faculties. Propaganda, prettily presented by the cinematographers art, can do wonders in transforming a culture. The image bypasses the rational faculties and people somehow find themselves agreeing around the water cooler that, as "everybody" knows, Christians are the enemies of learning who destroyed the Library at Alexandria.
The irony in all this, of course, is that the Christians are the ones who preserved the writings of antiquity—and these writing are precisely what no postmodern can be bothered to read. Who wants to read all those dusty books? That's why the overwhelming mass of consumers of pop culture know everything they know about Christian history from watching the Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons or Kingdom of Heaven or (most recently) the egregious Robin Hood that Ridley Scott just burped out. Ask your average water cooler expert on the early Church or the Dark Ages, and he will favor you with a discourse on Christian history and theology that is derived almost entirely from stuff he saw in the movies or on TV. If you ask him to read the Fathers of the Church, or Plato, or Aristotle, he may promise to get to it, but—seriously—what are the odds? So much effort! Even reading Fr. Barron's essay is so time-consuming! Couldn't he have put all this into a nice Youtube video? To paraphrase Malibu Barbie, "Reading and thinking is hard!" So say the postmodern defenders of ancient learning against the swarming Christian hordes of antiquity, bent on destroying reason with their ignorant faith.
Which brings me to my last point. As Fr. Barron points out, there is a visual grammar at work in film which we all understand and yet which works subliminally. The visual message of Agora is that Christians are pestilential insects who need to be exterminated. Knead that message into a culture deeply enough and long enough and it is just a matter of time before somebody acts on it.

This autobiography is not a new book but I have only just recently read it. Albert, or Bert as he is called throughout the book, was born in 1894 and truly had a remarkable life. Bert had to start working at the age of eight and from then on worked extremely hard for the rest of his life which, even with all he endured, he still considered to be fortunate. He loved the Western Australian outback and found solace in sitting and watching and listening to the wildlife. Bert's descriptions of the land bring it to life and his writing style is simple, everyday language.
Bert worked on the land in many varied jobs, learning a range of skills that he put to use all through his life. His account of his experience at Gallipoli is moving and educational and really gives the reader an honest picture of what it was like. The second half of the book has a very different feel to the first half, which is probably because of the romantic way we all feel about our childhood and his recount of his adult years is more "matter of fact".
I'm glad I finally read this book because it is an Australian classic with insight into Australia's history.

The 67-year-old man stabbed at a North Michigan Avenue hotel Saturday night had been downtown with seven family members for the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, his niece said.
A second man was also injured in the attack while trying to keep the assailant from fleeing, police said, and a man is in custody.
Around 6:30 p.m., the family had gone to The Cheesecake Factory below the John Hancock Tower for dinner, but they found the wait to be too long, said the niece, Jameela Ali of Lincoln Park. Ali's cousin suggested that they try The Grill across the street at The Westin hotel at the corner of Delaware Street and Michigan Avenue, and they did.
After dinner, Ali went to the restroom to wash her hands and heard a commotion nearby, she said.
"I heard a ruckus from the men's bathroom," said Ali, 28. "It sounded like someone was banging on the walls."
As she emerged from the restroom, Ali saw two men fighting with each other, she said. The other, she said, was dressed all in black and seemed to be overpowering the older man, her uncle.
"My uncle was trying to free himself and the guy was trying to pull him back into the bathroom," Ali said. "He had such a strong hold on him."
Ali's uncle was able to get away, but he was badly injured, she said.
"His left eye was bruised, totally swollen shut," Ali said. "There was blood gushing from his neck, blood all over his clothes. He looked like he had been punched in the face several times. I started screaming. I didn't know what to do."
Ali rushed back to the restaurant, as did her uncle, to get help. The man's son-in-law started yelling for others in the restaurant to help. Ali said several restaurant employees chased after her uncle's assailant, who dashed across the street to The Cheesecake Factory.
Police said a 56-year-old man was taken into custody following the incident, and that a weapon was recovered, according to Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Amina Greer. A 35-year-old man was cut in the chest as he tried to stop the assailant from fleeing, Greer said. He was taken to Northwestern in good condition.
Meanwhile, her uncle and the family waited outside the hotel for an ambulance to arrive, making sure to keep pressure on the wound on his neck. He told his relatives that the attacker had tried to rob him, Ali said, but ultimately did not get away with his wallet.
"He was lucid, he was coherent," Ali said. "He knew what happened."
Ali's uncle, who lives in Oak Brook, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he remained as of 1:30 am. Ali said he suffered a laceration to his external jugular vein and received exploratory surgery to ensure there was no further damage.
He was also intubated, but the breathing tube should be removed in the morning so he'll be able to talk, Ali said.
As she waited in the hospital, Ali said she and her relatives were left wondering how their uneventful evening turned into such a chaotic one.
Latest Breaking News
"This shouldn't have happened," she said.
"We are not commenting, actually, at this point," said Westin spokeswoman Nurper Oztok Sunday. "It's still under investigation."
Oztok directed further inquiries to Chicago police.

The country's 2020 objectives make wind energy its second-most important renewable source of electricity behind hydroelectric power. Under the plan, wind would represent about 30% of electricity consumption from renewable sources and 6% of all electricity by 2020. That capacity is expected to come exclusively from onshore farms. Bulgaria estimates that electricity from all renewable sources will roughly double over the next decade, accounting for 20.6% of all consumption by 2020.
While the forecast represents a significant increase over 2010 figures - which stipulate wind farms with total capacity of 336MW producing 605GWh of electricity - the Bulgarian action plan would appear to underestimate the country's wind potential.
The Association of Producers of Ecological Energy has in the past estimated that capacity could rise to 3GW by 2020. And in a renewable energy roadmap published earlier this year, it suggests that, with the right policies in place, total capacity could reach 4.84GW, including 900MW offshore, producing roughly 11TWh of electricity per year by 2020.

Financial Facts: Simple mortgage math, do your own calculations
Special to the Daily
Are you thinking about buying a home, car or computer? Are you thinking that it would be nice to have those items tomorrow, but you will not have the cash to pay for them? Most of you reading this article can go out tomorrow and start the process required to get these items, and without doing anything illegal.
Credit, according to many, is the best thing since compounding interest and sliced bread. Why not get what you want using someone else's money. Get a mortgage, car loan or credit card and get that immediate satisfaction of owning something your cash in the bank would not let you have. Credit is the ticket, and if you meet the minimum criteria to obtain it, credit can get you what you want, at a price.
Now after all that has been said the next step is to apply for credit. There are thousands of ways to get credit, excluding Guido's midnight loan service, and most of them are legal. And all of the places that loan money out have the same basic operating procedure, get to know the potentials borrowers personal financial history to see if they are credit worthy.
Generally, the first thing all lenders do is get a credit report on you. This document is your personal financial history and physical. It shows if you have had history is the past and present. It shows if you have paid your bills on time and if you have been bad and not paid on time. It shows if you owe Uncle Sam for back federal taxes and it may even show if you been sued and lost in small claims court. These reports can show a potential creditor if you have been naughty or nice and if Santa will be granting you the wish of obtaining credit.
After your credit is known to the lender, they will want to know how much money you make in a month and year. In the case of Ms. Brooke Trout, she makes approximately $5,000 a month, $60,000 a year. Ms. Trout has only one small debt, and that is a college student loan, and her monthly payment is $155. She has no other debt, and no other credit. Ms. Trout wants to buy, or as I like to say, invest in a small, but livable condo. The purchase price is $145,000. She is planning to borrow $130,000. The down payment is coming from an inheritance she received a couple of years ago when a favorite, but not too rich relative died leaving her some cash. Her estimated monthly payment of principal, interest, taxes and homeowner's association fee all add up to $1,080.
Now in this past paragraph I have thrown out a lot of numbers, so here is how I see the picture. The loan-to-value is 89.655 percent. That is the loan amount divided by the purchase price. Her debt to income ratio is 24.7 percent. This is her minimum monthly required payments divided by her gross monthly income. And for some of you, gross monthly income is the total amount you earned during the month before and tax and the like are deducted.
So you now know how to figure debt-to-income ratios and loan-to-value ratios. You also know that the better your credit, the more likely you will be approved for credit. All you need to know now is what these ratios mean to a lender. Simple, the lower the debt-to-income ratio and the lower the loan-to-value ratio, the better for you. Figure that if your debt-to-income ratio is over 50 percent, your chances of getting a mortgage is slim to none. If your loan-to-value is 90 percent, you better have great debt-to-income ratios and even better credit scores.
For you to really understand if you can qualify for a mortgage on that dream home you need to discuss your personal financial situation with an experience mortgage professional. They should always be willing to show you how much your current financial situation will allow you to buy and how to improve your situation if you need some counseling.

GridIron Systems' TurboCharger Certified to Accelerate Databases with NetApp Unified Storage Systems
New Technical Report from NetApp and GridIron Outlines How Customers Can Increase Application Performance with NetApp Storage and GridIron TurboCharger
Sunnyvale, CA, March 27, 2012 - GridIron® Systems, a pioneer in Big Data acceleration, today announced its TurboCharger™ SAN acceleration appliance has been certified as interoperable with NetApp® unified storage solutions. Customers running high performance databases for applications such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Decision Support Systems (DSS) now have a proven, cost-effective option for accelerating application performance and supporting more concurrent users and applications. Rigorous lab testing and customer deployments have proven that installing the TurboCharger accelerator in front of NetApp enterprise storage arrays can deliver immediate performance gains, minimize disruption to operations, and reduce complexity.
The GridIron TurboCharger is a SAN-attached appliance that is installed into the storage network between servers and storage without any disruption to provide a high-performance access layer to the storage infrastructure. It significantly boosts the performance of applications and databases with no changes to existing servers, storage, applications or processes. The TurboCharger uses Set-Ranking™ analytics to continuously profile the data access behavior of applications in order to identify performance-impacting data at any given time. Using proprietary hardware, it moves this important data, in real time, to high-performance DRAM and Flash on the appliance to deliver the data to applications up to 100X faster.
NetApp and GridIron have published a technical report titled "Increase Application Performance by Using NetApp Storage Controllers and GridIron TurboCharger Data Accelerator Appliance" that describes the benefits of using a GridIron TurboCharger with NetApp unified storage systems, based on its evaluation of performance and stability in OLTP and DSS workloads on an Oracle® 11gR2 database. As a result of the evaluation, NetApp found that installing TurboCharger was simple and straightforward, and preserved the high availability configuration of the environment. By comparing the test environment with and without TurboCharger, NetApp verified that installing TurboCharger allowed twice as many users to access the OLTP database concurrently while maintaining database response times. In DSS testing, TurboCharger reduced query completion time by 50%. The storage system read load was reduced by 99%, enabling the storage controller to handle additional load from applications/users.
NetApp offers a range of high performance enterprise storage systems that utilize Flash to reduce response times. Adding TurboCharger in front of the storage controller complements those solutions by offloading Input/Output operations, extending the scale-up range of the system. The NetApp-GridIron combination creates a very affordable solution alternative for database users who require high performance to process queries faster and support concurrent users. This collaboration helps customers analyze extremely large, data-intensive workloads with boundless and secure storage for better decision-making and business advantage.
The NetApp technical report is available online at solutionconnection.netapp.com/gridiron-systems-high-performance-database-solutions.aspx

I have owned this amazing vehicle and as I started researching, I found that these cars make great sleeper cars. No one wants to be taken by a grocery getter.
I am starting the build and want to get educated on my car. Vehicle: Grey 92 Volvo 240 Wagon. Engine 2.3L (That's all I know currently) I have began tearing into the engine as it died on me and has been sitting for about a year now. Shop said timing belt was busted and wanted 1,800. I decided to do it myself. I am mechanically inclined but far from a master mechanic. Anyways, I welcome any and all advice. I am going for sleeper, and will update any mods done. I want it running first. As you can see the belt is not busted and since the shop wouldn't return my car for almost 8 months, (Whole other story). I hope more issues have not raised. At almost 200,000 but prior to dying it was running very well. While I am tearing into it I want to fit it with a turbo.
Again I can work on stuff, but tricking out, yeah not my thing so first question would be.....Is this motor able to handle a turbo and will I have to get forged guts? Can I keep the same fuel rail? Cam suggestions.......So on. Thanks and I am new to the group.............

This weekend was nothing short of eventful. This is how it went....
*I went to Cape Cod for Youth Conference. It got shortened because of the storm but beautiful!
*Hurricane Irene (more like tropical storm) came and left us with no power for 48 hours. I am not complaining because a lot of our friends are still out of power and will be for another 2-3 days.
*We rented 4 movies on Saturday night thinking we wouldn't loose power until late Sunday. Only had a chance to watch one.
*Church was cancelled. So I didn't have to teach.
*Had about 12 people shower at our place. Great (and only) reason to be on city water. We never lost it.
*We bought a grill and stewed over it's $17 price tag. But it turned out to be the best $17 we've spent in a while because I've never cooked so good.
*Loved hosting friends for lunch/dinner and playing a little Rummikub!
*We had some serious cabin fever and were at each other's throats for most of one day.
*Our house almost burned to the ground once the power came back on. A burner (that we NEVER use) was turned on where my Le Crueset pot sits and turned red hot and the green beans I set out started to cook. Thankfully the paper towels that were hanging just above the burner and the paper plates that were ON the next burner didn't catch on fire.
*Gracie had lots of little kids around to love.
*First day of school was postponed a day because of power outages.
We feel super blessed our house didn't flood, a tree didn't fall on our house and we have great friends to enjoy the storm of the century with...

Our 5 hour Maine vacation
I honestly can't believe it's the end of August and for the last three days it's straight up felt like Fall. This past weekend we went on a mini vacation to Maine. It was supposed to be for a few days but ended up being only five hours long and more like a "staycation".
Highlights and/or Lowlights of "Staycation 2011":
*Maine is beautiful!
*Orchard Beach is an actual beach, with nice (not rocky) sand!
*Ocean water was freezing and it took us 15 minutes to finally take the dive. Apparently the water was "like a bath" warm to the natives. It hadn't been that warm in years.
*Had an awesome lobster dinner at the Lobster Shack with blueberry and whoopie pies included. The atmosphere was topnotch.
*Cony got camera happy and took some really cool photos!
*Spent an hour in Walgreen's parking lot trying to find a hotel.
*Finally booked a room.
*Got to hotel, only to find out they booked for Sunday night instead.
*Hotel did not have any rooms on Saturday.
*We drove home in the middle of the night.
*Hotel is still fighting us on giving our money back. Will never book with choicehotels.com again.
*Went to the Connecticut coast the next day and had a picnic with Gracie.
*We ate lots of great food. You know, the stuff you allow yourself to eat while on vacation.
*Went running a few times.
*Watched a few movies: Conspirator (GREAT movie!), Soul Surfer and Limitless (which should have been rated R).
*Ran into friends at the Dairy Bar.
*Gracie got sick. (and is NOT fun to clean up after)
*We determined Gracie is a cow. She eats grass and sticks.
*Got to check some things off our "to-do" list.
*We got to sleep in every morning.
*Decided I don't want to go back to work. But here I sit.
*All in all, we had an awesome "just us" weekend.

70th Anniversary, it's kinda a big deal
This past weekend, my grandparents celebrated 70 years of marriage. How many people do you know that have been married that long?? I truly wish we could have been there with them but we were busy helping with another wedding. And I don't mean with photography either. Instead I had an awesome opportunity to style a wedding and I'm thrilled with the results. Will share soon!
Can I get a cheers to love!!?
Here are my grandparents and all their children minus Anne who passed 2 1/2 years ago. They are a wonderful example in so many ways and honored to call them family. (thanks to FB, I'm able to share this photo!)

Going quickly
In our attempt to gain balance in our life, we clean the house together on Thursday nights. That way it doesn't have to be done on the weekends. Cony always knows how to make cleaning fun. We were listening to our wedding music on the iPad and a Johnny Cash song came on but it was my dad singing. I was trying not to be thrown off and Cony calls me into the living room with urgency. He grabs me and pulls me into his arms and we start dancing to my dads voice. (He knows how to melt my butter.) It's moments like that you don't want to forget.
