clivemcg56 necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 12 design presentati da 5 designer.
Right people: my current site is http://www.ButlerBureau.com and it looks OK but I'm looking to upgrade the whole look big time.
The Butler Bureau
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Feel free to come up with some 'boxes' that will break up the page, not a template just box top and bottoms + left and Right bars - again I refer you to http://www.askmen.com - imagine it without the adverts will win you the prize !
Accepted File Formats:
jpeg /gif or Photoshop preferably - resolution not an issue I'm on Broadband
Now that you've checked out http://www.ButlerBureau.com go and have a look at http://www.AskMen.com - see the way I see my site moving forward?
The buttons therefore would just be images which I could add text on PhotoShop (7)so .psd files appreciated (think glassy buttons against a dark background)
Logo-wise I'm pretty happy with what I've got but feel free to experiment. Don't lose track of the fact that this is a VERY formal niche area
Ideally you'll come up with some nice design elements etc. that I can incorporate into a web site. Important thing for me is that the main and sub menu bars be easily updated/edited.
Anyone that combines the elements I've got already with http://www.Askmen.com (imagine it without the ads) will be working in the right direction.
PS A Butler's uniform is a combination of Black, White and Grey :-)

We love this dessert, worth very minute it took to make it.

Way, way, way too much trouble. The recipe looks easy enough, but it took forever to cook the yolks, then the whites. I think just mixing the raspberries with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt would have nearly the same effect in a fraction of the time. Would have been nice if the recipe had indicated how much time the hands on prep took.

I also did not heat the egg whites and it turned out great. I will make again and may try blueberry's or strawberry's next time.
Dec 24, 2013
Not sure I'd make this again. I didn't find that the egg whites got fluffy when they were cooked. I couldn't believe how many dishes I had to use to make this. Not a good one!

Not a keeper with my family. Frozen raspberries do not stand up well after thawing. Although I personally didn't mind the flavor, the overall finished product did not taste like the picture that attracted me. It looks more like a delicious ice cream parfait, but in reality the raspberries are still frozen while the remaining ingredients are somewhat soft (even after freezing for 4-1/2 hours). Won't make again, especially for the amount of time involved in making it.

Very good, I may try to take more caloriesout next time.

I think I did something wrong during the process. I made this with my roommate last week and ours ended up tasting like egg? The recipe is not very suitable for beginning home-cooks, not all ingredients are easy to obtain, such as cream of tartar and the graham cracker crumbs. We used substitute cookies, but it didn't form a solid crust in the fridge.We will make this again, but when we have more experience in cooking. This was a bit difficult and the pile of dishes was huge!
Sep 14, 2012
I think it would help to not cook the egg whites and not add water to the egg whites, they will whip a lot faster without the water, I plan on making this recipe for a group of friends this weekend, sounds amazing! Dotty
Sep 3, 2012
this dessert is worth every minute it takes to make - it is soooo delicious. The only things I did differently: used 9x13 pan and made l-l/2 of the recipe, also did not boil the egg whites - just whipped them.

On December 4, 1957, the Disneyland TV show broadcast "Mars and Beyond," a 53-minute exploration of the Red Planet's history and future, as well as its impact on pop culture. A nerdy scientist, a hot secretary with a secret, and a Martian robot in tennis shoes (a la Warner Brother's Marvin the Martian), plus awesome animation, and a surprising twist at the end make the show's parody of pulp science fiction well worth a look.

A leather suit and Ebola
As you know, I have already written off Adrien Brody. Click here for a refresher. Here in Cannes, Adrien has validated his dismissal – for LIFE – from the Freebie 5. There is a reader who shall remain unnamed who stalwartly insists he deserves a reprieve. Like I said before – Brody might be Dunhill on the outside, but he's 100% Ed Hardy on the inside.
Because how else could you explain fraternising with Ebola Paris Hilton?
So now, in addition to being a cheesy fake castle-buying, loser ass douche, he's now infected with that piece of sh-t disease. It's like he's desecrating his Oscar by sticking it into the black hole between its legs.
And then, just to make sure we know he's done, dead, and over...
Here's Adrien arriving at the Armani yacht party last night in a leather suit.
That's a lifetime ban.

I made a trip to North Carolina back in 2005 and visited with quite a few of my ancestors at their final resting places. I had never before been to visit an ancestor. The feeling I got from each and every one I went to was special. I told each of them thank you.
It still is mind-boggling to me that it took all of my ancestors - hundreds of them - all being in the right place at the right time for me to exist.

Hello everyone!
First of all, I would like to thank each of you for participating and contributing to this message board. Without all of your support, kindness, sharing, and strength so many would feel alone and hopeless. This Message Board means so much to so many and I am grateful and humbled to be a part of it.
I apologize that has taken me so long to reach out to you. There has been so much to accomplish this past year! As some of you may already know, in May 2012, Molly Morgoslepov (Co-founder and current Board Member) took a full time position as the Group Health & Wellness Director at the Wilton Branch of the Saratoga Regional YMCA and I was elected President of The Colon Club. Even though I have been a part of The Colon Club for many years now, (providing support at the Colondar Photo Shoots, keeper of The Colossal Colon, a Board Member for many years, and now as President), I am honored to represent The Colon Club in a whole new capacity and I appreciate all the support and assistance I have received so far!
As many compliments and gratitude as I have received regarding The Colon Club Message Board, I am also aware that there has been some recent controversy on the forum. This is not something The Colon Club is used to dealing with since most of our users are generally very respectful, kind, supportive, and helpful. In light of this controversy, I want to remind everyone of the original purpose of our Message Board. The Colon Club Message Board was designed for those who have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, their friends, family and caregivers to come together for support, respect, understanding, kindness, hope, and strength.
The Colon Club, as an organization, focuses on:
- • Raising awareness, in out-of-the box ways, among young adults (under 50), where there are no solid guidelines for screening
• Knowing family history
• Knowing the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer
• Getting screened when it is right for them
As an organization, we realize that each person's perception of kindness, support, respect, ideas, and strengths are different and The Colon Club supports and encourages thinking "outside the box." That said, The Colon Club reserves the right to refuse or remove any content that does not comply with our organization's guidelines, Terms of Service, or overall standards (determined by The Colon Club, in its sole discretion). The Colon Club Message Board is a public forum, and it is our responsibility to make sure that our users feel welcome, supported and respected. In order to provide a neutral atmosphere for thousands of users, "freedom of speech" in its literal interpretation is not always allowed, as it can be hurtful and destructive (again, determined by The Colon Club, in its sole discretion).
I challenge each of you to wipe your slates clean. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff, hold grudges, and battle against one another! We have a much larger battle to fight – preventing people from ever developing this disease and supporting those who have been diagnosed!! We don't all have to be best friends on the Message Board but we do have to be respectful of one another, each other's ideas and circumstances. Please know that the hope of The Colon Club and our Board of Directors is that each of you finds value in your participation on The Colon Club Message Board. We do of course realize that The Colon Club Message Board is not the place for everyone. If you cannot find what you need and want in this forum, we understand. As much as we regret to see anyone leave, there are other forums that you may find better suited to your needs or you could even start your own forum!
The Colon Club is working diligently to coordinate all aspects of our "Club" together. This includes the Message Board, Board of Directors, Colossal Colon, Colondar, Board Committees, etc. so that each of us can be involved in this organization in a way that empowers us. With our new look and logo, our sleek, new, interactive 2013 Colondar and our 2013 Colossal Colon Tour (details to follow), we hope you can feel our rejuvenated "pulse," our passion and commitment to each of you and our cause to raise awareness, prevent colorectal cancer, and support survivors and their families! Thank you again for your patience and support through our transition and many changes! And as our former President and Co-Founder, Molly (McMaster) Morgoslepov, always says… "just play nice!"
I look forward to working together,
Krista Waller
The Colon Club

Kermit the Frog appeared in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums on March 12, 2008. He spoke alongside conservationists to help promote awareness of endangered amphibians across the globe.[1]
He mentions that AZA has dubbed 2008 "The Year of the Frog" in an effort to combat the forthcoming extinction of animals due to loss of habitat as a result of pollution and changes in climate.
TheHill.com interviewed Kermit, asking about his future political career. "Would I consider running for office?" Kermit answered. "I'd probably hop for office before I'd run. Ha ha! I don't know... Perhaps. I could, y'know, what am I good at? Should I start small, like a mayor, move up the chain? Sure, sure. Why not? Change you can believe in." Kermit chuckled, and then called for a taxi.[2]
Kermit also filmed a public service announcement featuring Selena Gomez which aired on Disney Channel to create awareness of the Year of the Frog campaign.
During 2007, Kermit was in talks with three international conservation groups for similar efforts with the Year of the Frog.[3]
Kermit had previously appeared on Capitol Hill to support the Shambala Wild Animal Protection Act of 2000.

Learn how to do a trimmer line replacement to prepare for a season of lawn care and maintenance. String trimmer line should be replaced at the start of each season as old line can be brittle and lead to easy breaks. Line may wear down faster if you're cutting thick weeds or against hard surfaces.
The traditional bump head has a round, black cutting head with a spring loaded knob in the center. Installing line in a traditional bump head requires you to disassemble the cutting head.
Begin installation by cutting 10 feet of replacement trimmer line. You can either use twin-strand split line or cut two pieces of 0.95" trimmer line to 10 feet each.
To take apart the cutting head, unscrew the bump knob and remove the inner wheel and spring.
Find the two holes on the top of the inner reel and insert both ends of the line into one of the holes. Pull the line through until 2 to 3 inches remain.
Loop the short ends of the string trimmer line through the other hole and pull the long ends to close the loop.
Wind the line around the wheel in the direction of the arrow on top. Apply some pressure to wind it evenly. When you have about 6 inches left, push each string into the holding slots marked 0.95".
Place the spring back on the shaft.
Find the eyelets on the spring head and feed the strings through.
Place the reel back on the shaft and align the holding slots on the reel with the eyelets on the head. Holding the reel down to compress the spring, tighten the bump knob back onto the trimmer head.
Gently pull the lines to make sure they were released from the holding slots and you're ready to go!
Keep your bump head trimmer in prime working condition with string trimmer replacement line and other trimmer parts from MTD. A well maintained string trimmer will help you trim and edge your lawn, creating a well-manicured landscape each season. Show now to stock up on any replacement trimmer parts you'll need throughout the summer.

This week, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made public the full text of its renewables report, which details a revolutionary vision for reducing Greenhouse emissions by using renewables to replace fossil fuels, and phasing out nuclear power along the way.
Before any ink even had a chance to dry, however, the report was already under attack from some desperate commentators who appear to have a strange, fundamental disbelief in the possibility of a clean energy future.
According to the IPCC's 'Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation' (SRREN), by harnessing just 2.5% of viable renewable energy sources, with currently available technologies, its possible to provide up to 80% of the world's energy demand by 2050. In order to achieve that, the study considers that demand for energy will be reduced by increased efficiency measures, which are both thermodynamically possible as well the best basis for policy: efficiency, after all is the cleanest and cheapest way of 'generating' energy. This is good news, but to reap the benefits of this vision, it's now up to governments to take the necessary action to make it happen.
I am happy to say that not only was I one of the contributors who worked together to create the 1000 page IPCC report, but the document also contains an in-depth study of Greenpeace's Energy [R]evolution, which was chosen as one of the lead scenarios.
It's this inclusion of Greenpeace opinion that seems to have outraged writer Mark Lynas, who has posted a blog based on claims by Steve McIntyre, who Lynas describes as "a thorn in the side of the IPCC and climate science generally for a long time". Lynas accuses Greenpeace of starting with "some conclusions and then set about justifying them" – a trap he seems to have fallen into himself, by assuming that anything that comes from a non-governmental organisation (NGO) must be, by default, wrong, even if its findings have been recognised up by the German Space Agency and the hundreds of experts that worked on the development of the IPCC report.
Lynas' blog starts with the premise that the IPPC's "renewables report conclusion was dictated by Greenpeace", a preposterous suggestion, that shows a complete lack of understanding of the laborious processes involved in creating a report like the SRREN. No matter what way you look at it, taking into account that I was just one of 120 contributors, each of whom had to respond to long lists of comments on their contributions from dozens of reviewers, the idea that I, or Greenpeace being in a position to simply 'dictate' a conclusion is an clearly absurd one.
Lynas' also questions how I ended up being part of the IPCC report. First of all, Greenpeace had no part on it in the SRREN. Like all governments taking part, the German government put forward a shortlist of prospective authors – I was one of the seven German experts chosen, and as far as I'm aware, I was the only engineer working with an environmental organisation who took part.
In total, more than 120 experts took part in authoring this third edition of the SRREN, which went through four cycles of exhaustive peer reviewing by energy experts from government, the academia, business and NGOs, each lasting between six and eight weeks, over a two-and-a-half year period, to ensure that its data, methods and conclusions are entirely transparent and open to public scrutiny.
The SRREN looked at 164 different energy 'scenarios', zeroing in on four for in-depth study, one of which is The Energy [R]evolution, which is the result of a partnership between Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC), an umbrella group of organizations within the renewable energy industry, with members including companies like Siemens and French nuclear manufacturer AREVA. While the renewable energy industry provided key technical data for this project, the actual modeling for the Energy [R]evolution was performed by the prestigious German Space Agency (DLR).
Chapter 10 of the SRREN, which I substantially contributed to, had nine lead authors, and two coordinating authors overseeing its creation, and was thoroughly reviewed by independent experts and governments. Mr Lynas seems to think that the opinions expressed by anyone working for an NGO are somehow suspect; however it is known that the IPCC continuously – and quite publically - draws on a wide range of expertise and experience from NGOs, business and academia.
Finally, while it's certainly flattering that Mr Lynas thinks that Greenpeace has the power to "dictate" IPCC conclusions, it is a great pity that he doesn't seem to consider the possibility that the IPCC chose to include the findings of Greenpeace, the EREC and the German Space Agency in The Energy [R]evolution for one very good reason - because hundreds of energy experts from different backgrounds, considered it a good, realistic and useful piece of research. If Mr Lynas has a problem with these findings, he should clearly demonstrate his issue with them, rather than simply trying to claim that some crude conspiracy theory is at work.
Sven Teske is an engineer and Greenpeace canpaigner with more than 17 years experience working in renewable energy research.

A huge gap in understanding renewable energy supply is shown here and elsewhere. Our biowastes are an ever-growing supply of renewable fuel, and they have more bulk than all the biofuel that we could grow. We are letting them get dumped to cause more and more pollution problems, when they can be a resource supplying much more energy than we can get from growing biofuel crops. Biowastes are an already harvested biofuel crop that will not be usurping land, water, fertilizer and energy from food crops. Various reports are coming out warning of food supply problems developing from trying to grow biofuels.
I have posted many comments on mnay blogs including,NYTimes Green and Dotearth concerning making organic wastes into a resource by using pyrolysis. Readers interested can google my name, Dr. J. or James Singmaster to check out about the many benefits that can accrue from using pyrolysis on organic waste.

If you download the IPCC report in question and look at the roster of contributors, you will find at least three representatives from Chevron and three from EdF (the corporation that runs France's nuclear power plants).
If I were to apply the logic used by the IPCC's critics, then I'd have to conclude that the IPCC's conclusions were dictated by "Big Oil" and the nuclear power industry..

Hi Anymouse - do you mean the IPCC press release? Greenpeace was not inolved in that press release - the question is best put to the IPCC themselves.

The Crisper Whisperer: 5 Reasons to Love a Can of Tomatoes
Cook through your crisper surplus with ease.
You may know Carolyn Cope as Umami Girl. She stops by on Tuesdays with ideas on preparing the abundance of fruits and vegetables you might get from your CSA or the market. —The Mgmt.
[Photograph: Carolyn Cope]
There was the one time last March when both kids started shrieking in the produce aisle the moment we walked past a hulking stack of cherry tomato pints. That day, I'll admit, I caved and bought quite enough out-of-season tomatoes to plug their little pie holes (lovingly, of course), and a few extra pints for good measure. I'm not a martyr. Not even an aspiring one.
Usually, though, I'm not the least bit tempted to buy fresh tomatoes in the winter. In part it's due to the horrific and now widely publicized story of an industry walking the line between merely unethical labor practices and flat-out slavery. A story like that doesn't make a girl hungry. But I don't fool myself into thinking I never buy other products, knowingly or not, that come from a similar place. I hope I don't buy any of those, but I probably do.
With tomatoes, though, the choice is easy. The taste of an out-of-season fresh tomato simply isn't worth the cognitive dissonance. Frankly, the taste is rarely even worth the effort it takes to extract it by chewing. Plus, there's such an excellent alternative. Good-quality canned tomatoes are a treasure.
Whether you can your own or simply pick them up at the grocery store, it's a good idea to look for BPA-free products when possible. Since tomatoes are acidic, they can leach a substantial amount of the chemicals from the liners. I haven't heard any overly compelling arguments that adults who eat canned tomatoes occasionally are at high risk from BPA exposure, but the more often you eat them, and the more young children you feed, the more it's worth keeping an eye on developments in this area.
Unfortunately, at this time there aren't any literal canned tomatoes sold in the U.S. in BPA-free cans, in part because that same pesky acidity requires a pretty tough container, which plastics containing BPA can provide. Both Eden Organic and Muir Glen have expressed eventual plans to switch their tomato products to BPA-free cans. One currently (and commonly) available BPA-free alternative is Pomi tomatoes, which are packaged in a Tetra-Pak box and come in chopped and strained varieties. It's worth noting, though, that Tetra-Pak boxes are lined with plastic, so it could be only a matter of time before one of their own three-letter acronyms becomes a four-letter word.
If you can find them, tomatoes packed in glass jars would have BPA only in the lid liners, if at all, substantially reducing the tomatoes' exposure to the chemical. And, of course, canning your own tomatoes in glass jars would limit BPA exposure as well. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.
Beyond BPA, it's a good idea to choose whole, peeled tomatoes whenever it makes sense. Companies tend to save the best-quality tomatoes for that style of packing, since it's easier to see the quality than it would be in, say, a puree or a paste.
Here are five of my favorite uses for canned tomatoes, which are starting to sound awfully appealing as the weather gets cold where I live. What about you? What are your favorite uses for canned tomatoes?
1. Why, good old pasta, of course
Nothing says comfort to this proud Italian-American like a pot of sauce simmering on the stove. My simplest version is two finely diced, medium onions sauteed in plenty of olive oil (don't skimp!); half a head of garlic, finely chopped and added to the sautéing onions a minute before they're perfectly soft; two large cans of whole tomatoes, crushed in my fingers, and all their juices; two big handfuls of whole basil leaves frozen from the garden last summer; all of the tender inner stalks and their leaves from a bunch of celery; and a nice big hunk of parmesan cheese rind, all simmered for a couple of hours in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Whether it's served over simple spaghetti, layered into a lasagna, or taken to more sophisticated heights, there's no better way to eat.
2. Soups
Too many soups to mention benefit from a can of tomatoes. For a full-on tomato soup, try roasting the contents of a couple of cans of tomatoes in a shallow baking dish in a medium oven for an hour before combining them with diced onions, garlic, and a dash of cream on the stovetop. You'll be amazed at the intensity of flavor. And as the weather turns cold, don't forget about minestrone and lentil soup.
3. Chilis
Whether meaty or vegetarian, Texas, Cincinnati, or what have you, it ain't a red chili without tomatoes. If you've got amazing fresh tomatoes, they will always work, but canned tomatoes preserved at the peak of their freshness will never let you down.
4. Beans
Beans and tomatoes are fast friends, and I heartily enjoy being the third wheel in that relationship. Two of my favorite meals are white beans such as great Northerns or cannellinis in tomato sauce, and vegetarian tacos filled with black beans that have cooked in a chili powder and cumin-spiced tomato base.
5. Stews and Braises
Whether chicken, beef, pork, or lamb; whether braised for hours or browned and then finished until just cooked through, a can of tomatoes fortifies, tenderizes, and generally bathes in love just about any soul-warming meaty winter dish. Try browning bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in a Dutch oven. Remove the browned chicken to a plate for a few minutes. Then sauté a sliced onion and some garlic in some of the pan drippings. Add back the chicken parts along with a large can of tomatoes, half a cup of red wine, some kalamata olives, and some chopped oregano. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Toss some feta cheese on top and serve with orzo. It's as good as it is easy.

Another warm day is expected Tuesday with highs topping out in the 80s again ahead of the first of two cold fronts coming to South Florida.
Mostly sunny skies will give way to partly cloudy skies later Tuesday, with an increasing chance of showers in the evening and overnight into Wednesday.
The first cold front swings through Tuesday night leaving somewhat cooler temperatures for Wednesday. Breezy conditions Wednesday night will make temperatures feel even colder.
Then a second, stronger cold front will leave even cooler conditions for Thursday. Highs will struggle to reach the mid 60s with overnight lows in the 40s.
The cooler weather pattern will stick around through the weekend.

The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Directorate General for Development Cooperation (DGCS), signed an Agreement with IUCN on December 2nd that lays the foundation for substantive collaboration in delivering important conservation and environmental management outcomes in Albania
The Agreement will support the delivery of a project that will strengthen the Albanian Ministry of Environment's capacity to effectively manage its protected areas, will help raise awareness of biodiversity, and will contribute to improving control over the movement of hazardous waste. It will also demonstrate approaches to improving local socio-economic conditions in communities near protected areas through the promotion of sustainable alternative biodiversity supporting economic activities.
The project will be implemented through the IUCN Regional Office for Pan-Europe and the IUCN Programme Office for South-East Europe in Belgrade. "This project represents another important element of IUCN's expanding work in the region. It will measurably help enhance the Ministry of Environment's capacity in two important areas of its mandate. IUCN is grateful for the support provided by DGCS and we look forward to close and productive collaboration with DGCS, the Ministry of Environment and other national project partners in attaining the project's objectives" says Paul Grigoriev, IUCN's Regional Programme Coordinator for Pan-Europe.
The project will start in January 2010 and is expected to be implemented over a two year period. Key results will be announced in the course of the project's implementation on the IUCN Regional Office for Pan-Europe website: https://www.iucn.org/about/union/secretariat/offices/europe/
For more information about the project, please contact Chantal van Ham, European Programme Officer - IUCN Regional Office for Pan-Europe: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Master and Snarkarita
If you've arrived here from Feral Press or Facebook, searching for the Martin Olson's Encyclopaedia of Hell poster seen above, you can order it here from CafePress. More details about the book & ordering information are available on my AVAILABLE FROM THE ARTIST page on the upper right.
All profits from the sale of this poster will be applied towards the exorcism of my drawing board and a much-needed moistening of my temples with a poultice of twenty-dollar bills soaked in gin and Rose's Lime Juice … any Shabana Azmi look-alikes are encouraged to apply for the position …
And if you've arrived here looking for some more sedate action from my GN version of The Hunting of the Snark … why, here it is also …
Strange, creepy creatures are the bane of modern life and both Lewis Carroll and myself have seen fit to embellish this crucial stanzel of The Hunting of the Snark with a surfeit of 'em. Suitably alarmed, the Butcher has darted into a convenient telephone booth and re-emerged in the guise of St. Anthony, the father of Christian monasticism and more to our purposes, a veritable bit of human fly-paper for all manner of hallucinatory things that go bump in the night.
The attentive reader will remember that the very first stanzel of this Snark involved a direct quotation from Mathias Grünewald's version of St. Anthony, a quotation which involved a fair bit of mirror-work and the cramming of a very hirsute and oddly fey Saint into the sturdy 19th-century country-squire's boots of the Boots, AKA Charles Darwin. This saint-bashing mania of mine is shared with many other artists; throughout the ages, we picture-folk (or Bildervolk, gesundheit) have mass-produced St. Anthonys by the bucketful. Even Henry Holiday joined in the fun, establishing an Antonine precedent for Fit the Fifth which even the religiously fastidious Lewis Carroll approved!
From whence comes this Antiantonimania? Are Salvador Dali (the Norman Rockwell of Surrealism), Hieronymus Bosch, Feliciens Rops and Gustave Flaubert all victims of a sudden outbreak of religious fervor? Or is it all just an excuse to draw legions of naked women and creepy circus sideshow freaks mobbing a defenseless old man in a desert?
To be sure, there is a certain visual, even Luis Buñuel kind of appeal to such a proposition but nonetheless, dear reader, it's just not very sporting, is it? The genuinely Christian thing to do is to insist that all these unreal phenomena besetting a very real person are promptly replaced with a new and improved denful of very real phenomena besetting a patently unreal person! The latter personage would be, of course, our Snark, and I'm certain that you, the readers and thus the ultimate — and only! — reality of this poem, will do a splendid job of standing in as the former.
So, that's all settled, is it? I'll go and have a nice lie-down while you slip into your new Snark-baiting role. Just study the above drawing very carefully and do whatever Mister Bosch says. He does have an active imagination and if anyone asks you why this is so, hint vaguely that it's just that Hieronymo's mad againe.

Last Snark at Marienbad (The Snark of Dr. Morel)
One can say what one likes about Lewis Carroll, one can say what one likes about The Hunting of the Snark, one might even cast aspersions at Carroll's secretive doppelgänger, C.L. Dodgson, but one cannot say that any of the above ever ignored the intellectual and literary ramifications of what we now call common, garden-variety Stupidity.
The above stanzel is proof positive of all of the above blather, 100-proof positive, I should think, with all its various pictolinguistic bits and pieces denoting a thorough inability on the part of its protagonists to perform even the simplest of arithmetical tasks.
We know that C.L. Dodgson, in his capacity as a maths tutor at Christ Church, had many opportunities to complain to his associate Carroll of the genuine dunderheadedness of most of his pupils. Many of these young scholars, being scions of the British upper classes, abjured all abstract thought whatsoever and devoted themselves instead to the less mentally taxing pastimes of drinking, gambling — and yes! — hunting!
Can we venture to guess that Carroll, sympathizing with and perhaps even assisted by the unlucky Dodgson, undertook an elaborate scheme of passive-aggressive revenge, composing a cunning lampoon which in its essence is nothing more than a verse epic dedicated to the Stupidity of the Hunting Classes, a Victorian Dunciad, so to speak?
We know that the entire Hunting of the Snark is predicated mostly upon the Clochetic Rule-of-Three, a shining example of logical inanity. We know that this poem's very title admits of two, very opposite meanings: either a hunting for a snark, or rather, a hunting undertaken by a snark! In either case, a nitwittery is produced since the Snark is unreal and thus unavailable for hunting in any sense of the word.
Furthermore, Dodgson's fellow Oxonian, the inestimable Dr. Johnson, himself noted that no man but a blockhead ever wrote but for money*, a pertinent observation in light of the fact that Carroll wrote all his literary works solely for his and his child-friends' pleasure.
And so, in the most approved clochetic manner, we will triangulate from all of the above and arrive at the inescapable conclusion that the very Genius of Stupidity thoroughly permeates every phoneme of the Snark! We'll then fritter all of the above's wig by quickly dredging it in Jules Renan's oh-so-Gallic remark that he never understood the concept of infinity until he contemplated the stupidity of the human race, in particular, the blockheaded stubbornness of those sportsmen who persist in chasing an infinitely receding prey!
The result is a infinitely-toasted-cheese sort of thing of utterly mixed metaphors which lets you, dear reader, off a certain hook entirely, for the fact that you have followed this ungainly argument so far is double-plus-proof-positive that you're a Genuine Smartie and no Thickie at all! Huzzah for good breeding and the finest education that Mummy and Daddy's pelf can buy, eh?
Now, join with Messers Carroll, Dodgson and myself in a spot of jolly good schadenfreude as we observe the Beaver and Butcher chase after those mysterious semioglyphs of numbers and language which puzzle them so. Ignore their tears, please, pay them no heed for they are but the tears of a clown!
*A statement itself proved true by the Clochetic Rule of Three in light of its triple-negative syntax! Darn these pesky liberals and their sin tax!

Bring Me the Snark of Alfredo Garcia
Great news! Jacques Derrida says that my GN version of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark is "super cool and fresh!" Meanwhile, the commentary continues …
Ladies and gentlemen, please gather around this small table which I just happen to have upon me, and pay attention, you might get lucky. The name of the game is Hunting the Snark and today we'll try to find a Jubjub Bird, a beast just like the Snark but even better.
Finding one is child's play, especially for a smart operator such as you. Simply lay your money down and watch the origami cranes closely, the clue you seek is beneath one of them. Pay no attention to the young gentleman with the fieldstone head and vacant expression, he's a Polynesian exchange student studying mid-19th-century British abattoir practices and he has nothing to do with me, I assure you. The epithet of shill worries him not, it's idle speculation and his empty head is entirely innocent of such nefarious thing-um-a-jigs.
Using the Clochetic Rule of Three (known to polite society as the Logician's Variation Upon Three Card Monte) the Butcher has already won a Jubjub Bird, the lucky guy! Alas, his fellow gamester, the plucky Beaver, has lost count. Last week's byzantine labyrinth of puzzling quills and Poes and desks and birds has befuddled her pretty head; and she now is, as they say, a flummoxed castorian incapable of reckoning the amount of anything in this farrago of pictoversical sleights-of-hand.
She is, in popular parlance, a mark, and as such, quite appealing to homi-and-femicidal beasts such as Jubjub Birds! In fact, her dizzy-headed state of pixilation is the only correct strategy to defeat this nefarious, thimblerigged scheme! Dispossessed of all common sense, proudly ignorant of all logical acumen, she blithely chooses the closest origami crane — et voilà — all the fluttering, flying, flittering semioglyphs concealed therein are freed at last!
Yes, dear readers, it's all rather zenlike, most confidence games are, you know. Truth and deception, sense and nonsense, all enfolded upon themselves into origamic puzzles which, when upended, release into the wild the crypto-Jubjubian fledgings of raw meaning.
And if all the above crosstalk wracks your poor brains, then beware the Jubjub, my son, and watch the telly instead, it do the Snark in different voices!

Snark fishing in America
We continue our GN version of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark thusly …
When Lewis Carroll sat down at his writing desk to compose his masterpiece of passive-aggressive nonsense, The Hunting of the Snark, he often chewed reflexively upon his quill pen as he pondered what effect his words might have upon future readers.
Words, words, words! They have naughty bits which we cover up in polite company, they have sad bits to make the grownups cry, and sometimes, if you push 'em together just so, their silly bits will make the kiddies giggle!
Of course, every word needs a voice and the above stanzel's assemblage of words, birds, quills, desks and notes is stuffed with 'em. Alas, poor Beaver, chronically outgrabed and all those voices in your head to boot! One of them, sounding suspiciously like the Mad Hatter, is wondering why a raven is like a writing-desk? Another (rather familiar) voice is telling her that this is so "because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front". Yet another voice (craftily mimicking Sam Lyod) is telling her that the correct answer is simply that Poe wrote on both. There's even a voice chiming in about them both having quills dipped in ink.
These words are all meant to answer those other arrangements of words which more evolved thinkers call riddles, that is to say, an augural flock of words meant to signify something despite themselves. Replete with all the requisite overtones of linguistic juju, riddles were once all the rage in the Good Old Days. They served as social icebreakers for all manner of homicidal and imaginary beasts such as sphinxes, trolls, dragons and even — yes! — Jubjub Birds!
I shall cue the evil laughter now for our jolly little metafictional cabal stands revealed at last! Outgrabe all you like, Miss Beaver, but the bird you are really riddling here is no mere raven, it is the Urschreckvogel, the dreaded Jubjub itself!
And so, dear reader, can you enlighten the Beaver as to why a Jubjub is like a writing desk? Simple, you reply — because none has an o in it (pace Huxley). Then run as fast as you can before all these birds wreak their Hitchcockian vengeance upon your person!

Snarked and Confused
You asked for it, you got it — a 3-plus year-long exegesis of my GN version of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark … here's today's episode …
Another crypto-scholastic cri de coeur from the Subtle Don, Lewis Carroll, cunningly palmed off by him as the Butcher's usual Snark Hunting blather. For the benefit of readers who may have just emerged from the washroom and are discreetly eying the exit whilst wondering what all the ruckus is about, scholasticism was an insidious bit of Continental thinkery brought over to England in unlicensed bathing machines and then peddled discreetly in certain no-questions-asked academic circles frequented by the finest medieval chatteratti of the day.
It was advertised as strong medicine for all manner of mental boojums, in particular, the disconcerting lapse between how we think things should be and how we actually find them to be. Such lapses seemed to plague the rook racked and river-rounded purlieus of Oxford in particular, so much so that Gerard Manley Hopkins found it necessary to work his inimitable brand of poetical juju upon the place …
… these walls are what
He haunted who of all men most sways my spirits to peace;
Of realty the rarest-veinèd unraveller …
The unvaricose Oxonian unraveller that Hopkins is rhapsodizing is none other than Duns Scotus, the professional theologian and fiendish disputant of all things trinitarian. If his name is not one which is lightly bandied about your dinner table, fret not; his Warholian fifteen minutes will be over before you have even finished your dessert!
This will be a simple transmogrification. We liberally apply several gallons of india ink recycled from an obscure Surrealist travel poster atop the hapless Duns; then we accessorize him with an appropriate chapeau and finish by triumvirating him.
Gosh, dada was right, the hat does make the man! Our rather pasty-faced theologian is now become a strapping, young specimen of a Snark Hunter flexing his rhetorical muscles with a showstopping visual demonstration of the Clochetic Rule of Three!
Yes indeed, gentle readers, this successful demonstration of a tautological trinity of Jubjubs is proof positive that wishful thinking trumps logic as far as Snark Hunting goes. Henceforth, please keep your minds empty and your beliefs in an upright and locked position for the road to hell is paved with good intentions.*

The Snarks of Navaronne
The story of this GN version of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, so far …
An Oxford don, known to the authorities as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, has been apprehended whilst soliciting various persons whose names begin with the letter B, urging them to participate in what he calls his "hunting of the snark". When pressed for more substantial details, the self-styled Mr. Lewis Carroll claimed that he had absolutely no idea what it all meant and that furthermore, he was himself being harassed by a certain Jubjub, a person of unspecified origin with possible links to a notorious organized-poetry syndicate.
And now …
A screaming comes across the sky. Somewhere a Jubjub bird was wreaking havoc on some other, less fortunate part of Oxford but the Butcher wasn't buying it. Not anymore. The Bellman had warned him long ago. Be a man, he'd said, three times, like he really meant it … but that was long ago … and the Bellman was gone.
They were all gone, it was just him and the Beaver. And she'd lost it way back in Fit the Fourth, in that freakshow scene with that black lace and the Barrister just watching her … just watching her blow her mind.
It was all up to him now. Deep cover, total deniability, just play it straight, just take it easy and I'll handle it from there, Carroll had said.
Sure, take it easy, try taking it easy when the anapaests are hammering your skull like jackhammers and the crosshatching makes your skin crawl. Yeah, take it easy while every two-bit, punk academic with a jones for a quickie dissertation topic takes a cheap shot at you. Like the Butcher needed a college degree to know that it was all absurd, that it was all just nonsense and that there was a Boojum waiting at the end of the road.
The Beaver said something incomprehensible in Japanese and an origami crane fluttered by. It's time, the Butcher thought to himself.
Without thinking at all, with his mind totally empty of any thought save one, the Butcher raised his hand, slowly at first and then faster, ever faster; he raised it as high as he could, even higher than the Other's hand, that disembodied hand with which they had all grappled every night after dark, as high as that hand which was now turning and pointing towards him and the Butcher thought to himself, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on, and then it was over; he'd already forgotten the question and it was too late, the Other's hand had passed him over — again!
"Like a dunce!" the Butcher said, it was as if the shame of it must outlive him.

A Snarkimental Education
And so it wends on, wearily but bravely, our panel by panel by panel commentary upon my GN version of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark …
Go ahead, think of your own childhood. Was it a labyrinthine Hunt for an indefinable Snark? Was it an interminable stretch of anapaestized nonsense? Did you secretly wish that you could just softly and suddenly vanish away? Of course, Victorian childhood was an entirely different matter. The uprearing and education of children in those days was a Gradgrindish matter of Facts and just the Facts, harrumph, harrumph!
Look here! The Beaver and Butcher are busy at their lessons right now, this is a perfect opportunity to observe how one can transmute Nonsense into Facts in an approved pedagogical manner with minimal expense to the taxpayer.
The Butcher is an idiot man-child, we can safely ignore him for the nonce but the Beaver is a tougher nut to crack, as we educators like to say! She seems to be constructing an origami crane according to the diagram being sketched out upon the squeaky slate by a disembodied hand. Referring to the previous stanzel of last week, we see the same hand employed with its fellow hand in the casting of a shadow, the shadow of an immense and threatening bird, the dreaded Jubjub!
The overly excitable amongst us might think that all of this is some species of symbolic play which you rather fancy, but Mister Gradgrind, the proprietor of this particular school, will have none of that. He will point out to you, after the necessary light flogging conducive to Victorian pedagogy, that you are not to fancy, no, you are to Fact! Fact, Fact, Fact!
If the artist responsible for this drawing had wished to depict a Jubjub Bird, he would have done so. In fact, Mr. Gradgrind adds (idly re-adjusting your thumbscrew), this business of human and castorian hands manipulating Jubjubian references which are typologically generating additional motifs of birds, childrens' play and postlapsarian anxiety is not a Fact at all! If it was, the Jubjub, a patently imaginary creature, would have to exist, QED.
After a bit more pedagogically necessary fiddling about with alligator clips and car batteries, Mr. Gradgrind will point out, with a world-weary smile, that this is how it always begins, that someone starts supposing that one thing actually means another, and so on and so on and before you know it, we're living in a Snarkian Multiverse where the very fabric of language and logic itself is ripped asunder by the unleashed superpowers of Symbolic Metaphor.
And if you dare to point out to him that language itself is symbolic metaphor, why, he'll give you a flogging that you'll never forget. Cheeky thing, the bliss and innocence of childhood is too good for the likes of you! And that's a Fact!

Jai snark!
It's all very fine and well reading Lewis Carroll's Hunting of the Snark in the comfort of your favorite overstuffed charpoy before a roaring fire, an overstuffed tumbler of roaring brandy at your ready disposal, perhaps even your faithful Assamese nautch girl parked at your slippered feet. Oh yes, you feel quite cozy and secure, idly turning the pages, chuckling wryly at some particularly droll anapaest, perhaps even lingering upon a picture … perhaps even the very picture we see above …
Hmm, you say to yourself, as your Assamese nautch girl adroitly pushes aside your fashionably retrograde moustache to slip another morsel of Snark curry between your lips and then resumes her languid, opium-scented contortions of enigmatic Oriental purpose; yes, hmm, you say, what's all this then, eh?
Well, it's a fair cop! Speaking for myself, the proprietor of the above-mentioned assemblage of dots, squiggles and lines, I can assure you that it means quite a good deal — to the Beaver and the Butcher, the poor things!
Oh yes, you can cultivate all the insouciance you like, go ahead — it probably suits you! Be a mocky mocker and make light of their cheap second-hand Victorian hand-me-down clothes and their penchant for overwrought music-hall histrionics!
Tell 'em that it's all in their head, tell 'em that it's just a cheap bit of sleight of hand from some hopelessly fusty and uncool Victorian parlor game, that's a good start! You could also poke a stick in the eye of Mr. Carroll's scream-cum-shuddering-sky trope. Are not the honest, simple fear-mongering kennings of Ye Olde English Nonsense Verse good enough for Mister Carroll anymore? Good lord, man, leave the trisyllabic, sibilant-ridden adjectives of doom to Paul Bowles and his ilk, eschew all this shuddering and sheltering sky crosstalk before someone gets hurt!
Yes, you could say all that and even more but at that very moment, in an unexpected and stormy manner reminiscent of last season's cliffhanger installment of the Book of Genesis, the rightful owner of the charpoy that you have parked yourself upon has appeared to reclaim his rightful place! An instant later, your Assamese nautch girl and you are precipitiously ejected from the premises, shame-faced perhaps, feeling a bit pale and queer even, as you should be!
Perhaps now you could favor us with a little scream, something redolent of a frightened Snark Hunter caught cucumberless in the salad season? Please try to make it as high and shrill as possible, this is your long overdue Expulsion From Paradise and we must keep up appearances!

Amazing snark
There are times when I find myself truly nonplussed at the thought of explicating yet another stanzel of this Hunting of the Snark. Some of you might think that the author and Eminent Victorian, Lewis Carroll, had a rough job of it, coming up with anapaest after anapaest, all of 'em having to do with Snarkery and all of 'em in the finest High Anglican-cum-Nonsense bon style. However, this pate-addling task of devising pictures for verse upon which one then devises prose easily beggars any of the rather picayune literary horrors that Mr. Carroll might have endured.
Perhaps you think that I have taken the elementary precaution of creating some sort of "plan", a detailed system of references and motifs aligned with the development of the entire poem, a conceptual blueprint with which I could then research, prepare and execute each and every one of these drawings. Armed with such a plan, it would be child's play to whip up a bit of commentary for each stanzel after the fact.
Such however, is not the case. In fact, it is the exact opposite of the truth. I am utterly unprepared and thoroughly disorganized, quite honestly, I am making it all up as I go along and I can't help myself for I have no plan nor strategy nor even a sense of direction about any of this Snark stuff.
What brings all of this inner turmoil to mind is the illustration shown above of the Beaver and Butcher lost in an immense maze. They are cold, they are hungry, they are nervous and upset with one another. And why is that?
The Beaver will tell you, very indignantly, that it is because the Butcher won't stop and ask for directions. But how can he when I have never bothered to make any!
Yes, dear ladies, gentlemen and any other sort of readers, the masculine sense of direction is marvelously blank. There's no need to ask for directions when we know that all roads lead to Boojum!

Purple Snark
NB. Will Schofield's blog, A Journey Round My Skull, is migrating to a new site/layout, 50 Watts. Go! Look! Think … then look some more. It's the best book illustration blog I know of and frankly, it's an essential for professionals and enthused amateurs. Your eyes will thank you.Yet another visual metaphor rears up on its hind legs to frighten the kiddies wandering in our labyrinthine GN version of The Hunting of the Snark. The Beaver and Butcher's above-mentioned debilitating monocurricular monomania has put them entirely in my ink-stained hands and I have swiftly reduced them to metallic tokens in a children's board-game.
Of course, my more logomaniacal readers are fully aware that monomania is the obscure yet potent Ursprung (gesundheit) of that dreaded literary boojum, the cliché, the lexical product of any monomania multiplied by any number of literate chatterboxes. These readers are also aware that the cliché is the final evolutionary goal of all literature, seeing as how all words are essentially clichés designating common experiences and thoughts.
Luckily for us (and Lewis Carroll), the Beaver and Butcher do not read much. Nor do they need to, when one remembers that their Snarkomaniacal minds are furnished with an infinite babelian library of literary clichés to pass the time away with. Which is why, whenever they look about themselves in perplexity, they invariably remark to one another that they are trapped in a Borgesian* labyrinth.
Armed with such potent clichés they can safely wander Mister Carroll's Snark-Ridden Garden of Forking Paths at all hours of the night. The Boojums of English Nonsense Verse trouble them not, their lack of reality is palpable! Yes, the Beaver and the Butcher can rely upon the succinct verdict of Mr. J.L. Borges upon all such Anglo-Saxon fictioneering, when he cooly remarked of Carroll's taciturn literary compatriot, the Tlönist Herbert Ashe, that "in (his) life, he suffered from a sense of unreality, as do many Englishmen".
Yes, indeed, Mister Borges, everything is going our way!
* A clichéd epithet which renders any labyrinth instantly inert, lifeless and suitable only for undergraduate textual lobotomies or cannabis-scented dormitory bull sessions. Postgraduate scholars say pshaw to all of the above, they smugly pat themselves on their back for knowing all along that this entire business of words, clichés and texts (ie., Cosa Nostra Literato) is a cunning dodge perpetrated by certain nefaristas to sell 'em something, such as soap or forks or smiles! The inevitable commodification of literature and language is a subject which makes me yawn politely. Frankly, if you wordsmiths can't de-mammonify the tools of your trade, that's your own lookout. I draw pretty pictures for an increasingly penurious and untenable living, and frankly, nothing has changed in that department since Lascaux.
Spare a copper, if you can, guv'nor, for those proto-bohemian artists who labored away in their dank garret-caves, wretchedly coughing like prognathous consumptives while they daubed away at the world's very first illustrated Hunting of the Snark. They knew naught of hourly rates nor had they agents to negotiate with the homicidal cave-bears which regularly feasted upon them. Their sole tools were ochre and brush and with these ever so 'umble means they sketched out the chthonic beginnings, the very aleph as it were, of the mighty labyrinth within which we are still wandering at this very moment …

I had so long been troubled by official hat and robe
That I am glad to be an exile here in this wild southland.
I am a neighbour now of planters and reapers.
I am a guest of the mountains and woods.
I plough in the morning, turning dewy grasses,
And at evening tie my fisher-boat, breaking the quiet stream.
Back and forth I go, scarcely meeting anyone,
And sing a long poem and gaze at the blue sky.
Wang Changling
Cicadas complain of thin mulberry-trees
In the Eighth-month chill at the frontier pass.
Through the gate and back again, all along the road,
There is nothing anywhere but yellow reeds and grasses
And the bones of soldiers from You and from Bing
Who have buried their lives in the dusty sand.
…Let never a cavalier stir you to envy
With boasts of his horse and his horsemanship
Wang Changling
Drink, my horse, while we cross the autumn water!-
The stream is cold and the wind like a sword,
As we watch against the sunset on the sandy plain,
Far, far away, shadowy Lingtao.
Old battles, waged by those long walls,
Once were proud on all men's tongues.
But antiquity now is a yellow dust,
Confusing in the grasses its ruins and white bones.
Li Bai
The bright moon lifts from the Mountain of Heaven
In an infinite haze of cloud and sea,
And the wind, that has come a thousand miles,
Beats at the Jade Pass battlements….
China marches its men down Baideng Road
While Tartar troops peess
across blue waters of the bay….
And since not one battle famous in history
Sent all its fighters back again,
The soldiers turn round, looking toward the border,
And think of home, with wistful eyes,
And of those tonight in the upper chambers

Since the very beginning of the PCA Cayman Register we have been committed to providing you, our members, with an environment that is free of commercial advertisements, sponsors and sales pitches. Our mission when creating the Cayman Register was to prevent hidden bias that is so common in so many web forums today. This is one of the reasons why we never embraced or included a Classified Section here. Throughout the years we've heard many requests for a classified section. Let's face it..., being able to connect with other owners who might
The 718 Caymans are starting to roll out of the dealerships and into the wild. That means we'll be seeing some new owners out there looking to connect with like minded enthusiasts. On behalf of the PCA Cayman Register, I want to personally extend a warm welcome to all 718 owners. You have come the right place.
I am very proud to say that we do not support MMSC here. MMSC stands for My Model Superiority Complex. All of us Cayman Owners are familiar with MMSC. It's a big part of why this place exists, because back in 2005 when the Cayman was announced many Porsche owners criticized and dismissed it. That brought us all together and created the community that you find here. Since beez, Santa Fe
The PCA Cayman Register is a small focused group of enthusiastic Porsche Cayman owners and fans. This community was created in January of 2010 around this website and a collection of interactive web forums that help us all interface with each other, no matter how far away we may be from one another. My name is Michael Souza, and I am the PCA Cayman Register Advocate and a passionate Cayman owner. As the Cayman Register Advocate, I've accepted the challenge of leading this exciting initiative. Together with a team of other passionate volunteers, we'll work to guide and grow the Cayman Register toward one simple goal, to help enhance (y)our Cayman Ownership and PCA Membership experience.
There are lots of other forums on the internet to chose from,

With Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz seemingly positioned to fight it out for the Republican presidential nomination, Democrats are now poised to take over the Senate in November.
The two Republicans still in the race who could help their party's Senate prospects, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, continue to flounder. While a deadlocked GOP convention in Cleveland could, at least in theory, nominate a candidate with broad appeal and low enough negatives to revive the party's Senate prospects, that development is both a long way in the future and a long shot.

I liked the link to "Six Hidden Health Benefits of Cherries", especially sour cherries, but I blow the first one of burning belly fat as my favorite use of them is Sour Cherry Crumb Pie. :-) I ate my first local strawberries of the season earlier this week. :-) We leave for Iceland and then Greenland on Tuesday. Enjoy the holiday weekend.ReplyDelete

Yay, love cherries. Thanks for the conversion chart. I'm always trying to figure things out like that.
The blueberry shortcake and lobster BLT have me intrigued.ReplyDelete
I love your links! They are so informative and I am so glad you post them. I loved reading about the healthy fruits and sunshine. I wish I could get more sun year round! Just another reason to move to California!ReplyDelete

infinias 128 Door Intelli-M Access Server
High-performance, fully-configured server is benchmarked for up to 128 door capacity
Enjoy the convenience of a high-performance server that is fully-configured and ready-to-go. This infinias 128 Door Intelli-M Access Server is built to handle installations that require higher door counts and is designed to simplify the process of installing a new access control solution.
The 1-U rack mount server comes pre-installed with infinias Intelli-M Access software with unlimited door license. Installation is easy. Simply install the controllers, plug in the server and turn it on. By the time you log into Intelli-M Access, the server and software will have discovered the controllers out on the network and have them ready for you to configure. This infinias 128 Door Intelli-M Access Server is designed and tested to withstand the demands of high-door count access control installations—to provide you with true peace-of-mind security.
What's Included:
IP-based access control is ideal for a wide variety of environments including:
Automatic Back Ups
The server is configured to automatically back up all key elements of the access control system on a regular basis. The infinias 128 Door Intelli-M Access server puts backups on flash-based solid state drives, so that if the hard drive fails, everything needed is on a separate, resilient storage device.
The server ships with an image of the server made just prior to shipping, and recovery is as simple as restoring the image — then restoring the backed up files.
Automatic Event Archiving
A process on the server monitors the size of the database. When the number of events in the database approaches a preset limit, it then archives the oldest events out to a text file to ensure that the system does not run out of space for events.
System Optimization
A regularly scheduled process tells the SQL Server to check and optimize all tables and indexes — ensuring that performance stays strong over time.
Network Structure
The infinias 128 Door Intelli-M Access Server has two 1GB network ports, so that the eIDC door controllers can be isolated from the corporate network on their own network segment — ensuring that no-one can see or attempt to communicate with the controllers from the corporate network.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
HMS Victory
is currently undergoing a period of restoration and visitors have the unique opportunity to witness the process taking place on the oldest commissioned warship in the world and a proud memorial to Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, Britain's greatest Naval hero and his stunning victory at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Her topmasts and rigging have been struck, or taken down, and her planking is under investigation. This is nothing unusual as wooden ships like Victory needed constant care and attention from the day they were launched. These repairs are simply the latest in a long tradition of regular upkeep.
The last time HMS Victory was seen without her top masts was back in 1944, so this really is a once in a life time opportunity to see HMS Victory under-going such extreme maintenance. Interestingly, with her topmasts down, Victory will look much as she did after the Battle of Trafalgar when she had to be towed to Gibraltar for repairs."
HMS Warrior 1860 is still afloat in Portsmouth Harbour! Come and experience:-
• The world's first iron-hulled, armoured warship powered by steam as well as sail.
• The only surviving member of Queen Victoria's Black Battle Fleet.
• Four vast decks and feel what life was like as a Victorian sailor onboard a 19th century warship.
• The recently opened sick berth, as seen on BBC1's National Treasures Live!
The Mary Rose Story
has intrigued for centuries. Since Henry VIII watched, in vain, as his favourite ship sank in front of him taking hundreds of the crew to a tragic end, through the quest to find, excavate, raise and ultimately save her for the nation – the story of Mary Rose continues to thrill.
Action Stations brings the modern Royal Navy to you, our visitors.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy is one of the country's leading maritime museums.

Meditative heArt
Nature's secret language welcomes us gently, to establish inner communication with the Divine through hyper-dimensional connection.
