As the Enterprise-D is approaching the Sheliak ship, Picard orders Riker to block it's path. Riker responds by punching some buttons on the panel on his chair. Is the helm officer on his break or something?
We've been told many times that the combadges people wear act as universal translators, automatically and perfectly translating all foreign languages into English. So when Troi said "S'smarith" to Picard as an example of an alien word, why didn't the translator just translate it into English?
Great Moment :
Data's destruction of the aqueduct is a cool moment, somewhat spoiled by the fact that it still seems to be working fine in the next shot. When the episode aired, there was much speculation about what exactly Data did with that shot... best I can figure is that he blasted the water whilst leaving the aqueduct itself alone. Whatever happened, it certainly looks impressive.
Body Count :
No actual deaths, but several colonists get stunned by Data.
Factoid :
Mark McChesney, who plays the Sheliak in this episode, also played Armus in "Skin of Evil".
The Dali Lama visited the sets during the filming of this episode; all of his entourage turned out to be Trekkers, and clamoured to be photographed with Brent Spiner!
The episode's title is from the poem "The Wants of Man" by John Quincy Adams.
In her conversation with Picard, Troi uses the word "S'smarith", suggesting that it may mean cup, glass, liquid, clear, brown or hot. This is the second and last Betazoid word we ever learn, the other being "Imzadi", which is Betazoid for "Beloved".
Aboard the Enterprise Data is playing violin as part of a recital for the crew. He is confident that his performance will be technically flawless, but advises Picard that he may want to watch a different performer as Data's play lacks "soul". Picard declines, but just as the performance is about to begin Riker calls him to the bridge and he is forced to walk out on the recital.
On the bridge Picard finds that they have been contacted by the Sheliak, a mysterious and powerful race which the Federation has not heard from for 111 years. The message is demanding that the Federation remove the Human colony from the planet Tau Cygna V. The planet was ceded to the Sheliak in the treaty of Treaty of Armens. The message seems confusing, since no Federation colony has ever been recorded on the planet as it suffers from lethal hyperonic radiation. Picard takes the Enterprise to the planet to investigate.
On arrival they detect life signs on the planet, but the radiation makes it difficult to detect any real detail as well as making the use of transporters or phasers impossible. Crusher suggests that the colonists must have somehow adapted to the radiation, allowing them to survive on the planet. Picard is concerned that the message from the Sheliak is demanding the removal of the colony within days; the Sheliak consider Humans to be a lower form of life, and will be perfectly willing to destroy the entire colony if it is still there after the deadline. They expect that the colony will be a small group struggling to survive, perhaps a dozen people or so, and send Data down in a shuttle to prepare them to be evacuated.
On landing, Data finds that a thriving colony led by Gosheven. The ship Artemis was the source of the colony; sent to Septimis Minor, the ship had wandered off course and been lost. The colonists not only survived but completely overcame the radiation, and have been busily expanding over the last 92 years. To Picard's shock, they now number 15,253 colonists - without transporters, it will take a month to shuttle everybody off the surface. Picard tells Data to prepare the colony to be evacuated anyway and hails the Sheliak to try and negotiate.
Data meets the colony leader, Gosheven, but the man flatly refuses his order to evacuate. He reveals that more than a third of the original colonists died when they landed on the planet, and ever since they have made huge personal sacrifices to survive and prosper. To Gosheven, the idea of leaving is a betrayal of all those sacrifices. When Gosheven leaves Data meets Ard'rian McKenzie, a robotics and cybernetics engineer who is fascinated by him. Seeing her as an ally, Data begins to get to know her.
On the Enterprise, O'Brien and La Forge are working on a way to make the transporters function as the ship closes on the Sheliak vessel. Picard hails them but the discussion is futile - the Sheliak simply repeat their demand, quoting the exact lines of the treaty to him and flatly refusing to compromise. When he tries to press the matter, the Sheliak representative cuts the connection.
At the colony Ard'rian gets to know Data, helping him to understand Gosheven's attitude. Data tries again to convince him, but he again refuses to listen. Data decides to try and convince others in the colony, hoping to build a momentum for change that Gosheven will be forced to deal with whether he likes it or not.
Picard takes the Enterprise out of orbit, reasoning that a Sheliak ship must already be on the way with the deadline so close. Riker hails Data as they leave and insists that he must convince the colonsits to evacuate, no matter what it takes. Data decides to try some reverse psychology; at a meeting of the colonists he makes a speech praising their willingness to defend their homes even though it means they will certainly be slaughtered to the last man. Although the speech makes some of the colonists uneasy, Gosheven is able to rally the people with thoughts of fighting off the Sheliak. He notes, as he has several times, that his grandfather is buried on a nearby mountain, a casualty of the aqueduct system which pumps water into the colony. The meeting breaks up with most in favour of fighting, but a few of the colonists decide to meet with Data to express their unease. Gosheven turns up, challenging the meeting and then resorting to using a shock prod on Data to render him nonfunctional. Ard'rian struggles to reactivate the android as the others leave.
Meanwhile on the Enterprise meets the Sheliak ship and Picard requests a conference, as per the treaty. He and Troi beam aboard and ask for a few weeks of grace to evacuate the colony, but the Sheliak flatly refuse - and when Picard becomes angry, they simply beam the pair back to their own ship in mid sentence.
Data reawakens and bemoans the lack of success of rational debate. He decides that more direct action may be convincing, and sets about modifying a phaser with circuitry from his own body to allow it to function in the radioactive environment. When he succeeds, he tells Ard'rian to inform Gosheven that he is going to destroy the aqueduct. As a crowd gathers, Gosheven arranges a defence - several men armed with crude clubs. Data arrives and uses his modified phaser to gun down all of the defenders in moments. He informs an amazed Gosheven that "that was the stun setting... this is not," and then turns and blasts the water in the aqueduct, vapourising miles worth of it with a single shot. Data points out to the amazed colonists that this is what a single hand phaser can do - the Sheliak have weapons which are vastly more powerful, and can quite easily sit in orbit and exterminate every single colonist. He points out that the aqueduct is "just a thing," and that things can be replaced whilst people cannot. Goseheven bows to the inevitable and agrees to evacuate the colony.
Meanwhile Picard finds what he needs - he hails the Sheliak and quotes an obscure part of the treaty which allows for disputes to be arbitrated by a third party, and nominates the Grizzelas. Since this species are currently in their regular hibernation sequence, the arbitration will have to be put off for six months. When the Sheliak begin to bluster and protest, Picard cuts the channel. They hail him frantically, and Picard takes a leisurely walk around the bridge whilst making them wait for his response. They finally agree to give him the weeks he needs to remove the colony.
As Data prepares to leave, Ard'rian approaches and asks if he has any romantic feelings for her. He politely says no, and when she looks sad he kisses her in an attempt to cheer her up before leaving. Back on the ship he finds Picard listening to a recording of his concert in the ready room. Picard comments that whilst Data claims that he has no recording style of his own, in fact he has managed to combine the rather different style of other artists - an act that Picard suggests shows individual creativity in itself.
Pretty standard stuff, this, but quite well executed. On the plus side, it's nice how they have Data being forced to learn new ways to interact with Humans. Data is fundamentally reasonable in all things, and he struggles when he's put in a situation where the people he has to convince simply aren't convinced by reason. Data responds as he always does - he comes up with an alternative strategy, and when that fails he instantly discards it and tries another, then another, until he hits one that works. It's entirely in character and exactly what you'd expect from him.
The colonist's motivations are also quite reasonable. I'm glad that they didn't really make Gosheven up into some boogie man bad guy. He's being unreasonable, but not absurdly so - he has a genuine love for his home, and very strongly feels the sacrifices that have been made to build the life they enjoy. Faced with the imminent loss of it all he does what many people would do - he goes into denial. He deals with Data by flatly denying the issues, but when Data steps his response up to a level where Gosheven simply can't ignore the facts any more he caves and agrees to do the sensible thing.
The Sheliak are also intriguing; on the one hand, it's pretty obviously a money saving thing that they put the Sheliak representative into an outfit that completely covers his body. But they put a nice spin on that by the simple trick of making that garment constantly bulging and moving - it makes it look like the Sheliak itself is somehow expanding or changing shape, giving it a rather odd any mysterious quality. Cheap, simple, but quite effective. The resolution of the situation is also quite clever, with Picard finding a smart and non-violent way to turn the treaty against them.
The only thing I don't really like is the whole radiation aspect. They build it up as this catch-all explanation of almost everything in the episode. It's so lethal to Humans that nobody but Data can beam down... yet most of the colonists survived it, and "adpated" to it. How does one adapt to radiation, exactly? The episode never even tries to explain it, which I suppose at least spares us some technobabble. It also serves to incapacitate phasers, which seems an odd choice to me. Since Data can modify his phaser to function anyway, what was the point in making it not work in the first place? It seems like an unnecessary element.
The whole romantic subplot also seems rather unnecessary. They bring it up, but they don't really go anywhere with it and in the end it's pretty much just dropped when Data leaves.
Overall, then, a reasonably good effort.

By Mark Skilton, Global Director at Capgemini
At the Open Group Cannes Conference, a session we are providing is on the topic of "Selecting and Delivering Successful Cloud Products and Services." This is an area that comes up frequently in establishing costs and benefits of on-demand solutions using the term Cloud Computing.
Cloud Computing terms have been overhyped in terms of their benefits and have saturated the general IT marketplace with all kinds of information systems stating rapid scalable benefits. Most of this may be true in the sense that readily available compute or storage capacity has commoditized in the infrastructure space. Software has also changed in functionality such that it can be contractually purchased now on a subscription basis. Users can easily subscribe to software that focuses on one or many business process requirements covering virtually all core and non-core business activities from productivity tools, project management, and collaboration to VOIP communication and business software applications all in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model.
I recently heard in conversation a view stating "Cloud Computing, it's a buyers' market," meaning that customers and consumers could just pick their portfolio of software and hardware. But underlying this concept there are still some questions about using a commoditized approach to solving all your enterprise system's needs.
Is this the whole story, when typically many organizations may seek competitive differentiation in user experience, unique transaction and functional business services? It's ultimately more a commodity view of Cloud that matches commodity type requirements and functional needs of a customer. But, it does not fit the other 50 percent of customers who want Cloud products and characteristics but not a commodity.
The session in The Open Group Conference, Cannes on April 25 will cover the following key questions:
- How to identify the key steps in a Cloud Products and Services selection and delivery lifecycle, avoiding tactical level decisions resulting in Cloud solution lock-in and lock-out in one or more of the stages?
- How Cloud consumers can identify where Cloud products and services can augment and improve their business models and capabilities?
- How Cloud providers can identify what types of Cloud products and services they can develop and deliver successfully to meet consumer and market needs?
- What kinds of competitive differentiators to look for in consumer choice and in building providers' value propositions?
- What security standards, risk and certifications expertise are needed complement understanding Cloud Products and service advice?
- What kinds of pricing, revenue and cost management on-demand models are needed to incentivize and build successful Cloud products and service consumption and delivery?
- How to deal with contractual issues and governance across the whole lifecycle of Cloud Product and services from the perspectives of consumers and providers?
Mark Skilton is Global Director for Capgemini, Strategy CTO Group, Global Infrastructure Services. His role includes strategy development, competitive technology planning including Cloud Computing and on-demand services, global delivery readiness and creation of Centers of Excellence. He is currently author of the Capgemini University Cloud Computing Course and is responsible for Group Interoperability strategy.

WASHINGTON, DC – A video has surfaced of an alien interview conducted over 50 years ago.
Real or fake? That's the question after another video has turned up showing old footage of an alien being interrogated.
WWN hired Dr. John Malley, an expert on the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials, to examine the video. "It's real. 100% authentic," said Malley. "My father was working for the FBI in it's UFO unit at the time. The video is exactly how he'd described it to me."
The creature in the video has the classic egg-shaped head and big, buggy eyes. Seated in a chair, it looks confused as it tries to respond to questions.
Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFOs for the Ministry of Defense in the UK, clearly think it's a fake.
"This is one of the better fakes that I've seen," he told ITN News. "Looking at the skills of the filmmaker I think it's a nice piece of work, it's well put together, and the black and white imagery is a nice touch because it plays into that whole idea that this might be something that's been in the government vaults for awhile, might even relate to Roswell, the holy grail of ufology."
According to him, the reason someone might do this is either to showcase their skills or just to put "one over on someone." He also thinks it won't change anyone's mind: "believers will go on believing, skeptics will go on thinking it's a load of nonsense."
Malley disagrees with Pope. "Most Brits don't have a clue to what went down at Roswell. I've been there numerous times and examined all the UFO and alien evidence. This video is real. I'd bet my life on it. Pope is just another boring, Brit skeptic."
See for yourself, and then let us know in the comments what side you fall on:

The new budget for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1) just released, reports Chris Schneidmiller for Global Security Newswire, calls for the
Energy Department's semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration to receive $11.5 billion [which is] $372 million less for weapons programs than it had anticipated requesting as of 2011.
Most encouraging of all:
The administration aims to freeze development of the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement complex at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, which would conduct work on materials such as plutonium employed in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. … Under the proposal, funding for the Los Alamos site … estimated to cost up to $6 … would be cut by $165 million and building would be pushed back by no less than five years.
But, as always with nuclear weapons, it's not long before the parade is rained on. At the New York Times, David Sanger and Alan Cowell report that druing a visit to Iran by International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors "Tehran not only blocked access to a site" — Parchin, to which the IAEA has previously been granted access — "the inspectors believe could have been used for tests on how to produce a nuclear weapon … but it also refused to agree to a process for resolving questions about other 'possible military dimensions' to its nuclear program."
Of course, Iran's apparent obstinacy may not be due to it's hiding nuclear-weapons work, but because it feels singled out for the West for persecution. But perception, as they say, is everything:
Iran's refusal to deal with the inspectors' questions is likely to increase tension, at a moment of heightened sanctions and after the assassination of nuclear scientists in Iran and suspected retaliation against Israeli diplomats.
Also, Iran bridling at the IAEA's probing comes on the heels of Iran halting oil exports to Britain and France. Also reports Bloomberg, "Iranian state-run Press TV said yesterday 3,000 'new- generation' Iranian-made centrifuges were installed at its main uranium enrichment site at Natanz." Though State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that — Bloomberg again — "the announcement was 'hyped' for a domestic audience."
But, in addition, as Sanger and Cowell write, Iran also
… struck an increasingly bellicose tone on Tuesday, with an Iranian official warning that the country would take pre-emptive action against perceived foes if it felt its national interests were threatened.
Iran aside, the Dec. 29 fire on Russian nuclear sub Yekaterinburg, undergoing maintenance at the time, might have been more serious than previously thought. Gleb Bryanski of Reuters reports:
At the time, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed the strategic missile submarine had been unarmed as is required for upkeep activities and that there was no danger of radiation exposure to the public.
But Russian Deputy Prime Minster Dmitry Rogozin
… noted that Soviet rules from 1986 do not mandate the unloading of weapons from submarines for small maintenance projects.
Worst-case scenario:
The prominent news magazine Vlast earlier this month reported that the blaze could have triggered … explosions in the submarine's two atomic reactors and possible detonations of 16 nuclear-armed missiles.
A telling clue that nuclear weapons might have been aboard:
The submarine traveled to the Russian navy's arms depot directly after the fire, which would not be normal for an unarmed vessel that had just been through a fire, according to the magazine.
Important as preventing nuclear proliferation is, it must always be preceded in importance by nuclear risk. Which means it's at least as incumbent on states with nuclear-weapon programs to wind theirs down as it is to keep other states from proliferating.

A new website has been launched that want to get the public involved in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Announced at the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Los Angeles, the site will stream radio frequencies that are transmitted from the Seti (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Allen Telescope Array.
Participants will be asked to search for signs of unusual activity.
It is hoped the human brain can find things the automated system might miss.
The website is the latest stage in a quest "to empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company".
The project is being run by Dr Jillian Tarter, winner of the TED Prize in 2009 and director of the Seti Institute's Center for Seti Research.
She has devoted her career to hunting for signs of sentient beings elsewhere.
She hopes Seti Live will help build upon the community of scientists and technologists already involved in the search.
"There are frequencies that our automated signal detection systems now ignore, because there are too many signals there," she said.
"Most are created by Earth's communication and entertainment technologies, but buried within this noise there may be a signal from a distant technology."
"I'm hoping that an army of volunteers can help us deal with these crowded frequency bands that confuse our machines. By doing this in real time, we will have an opportunity to follow up immediately on what our volunteers discover."
Grand adventure
The Seti Institute has struggled to keep afloat in recent years and relies on public donations. It has some high profile backers, including including former astronaut Bill Anders, sci-fi author Larry Niven, and Hollywood actress Jodie Foster.
Crowdsourcing data has proved to be a very useful tool for scientists in a range of disciplines.
Collaborating on the Seti project is Zooniverse, home to some of the internet's largest and most successful citizen science projects.
"Over the last few years, we have learned about the incredible desire of hundreds of thousands of people to take part in scientific research as they've used Zooniverse to classify galaxies, explore the Moon and even to discover planets," said Chris Lintott, Zooniverse's principal investigator.
"With Setilive.org, we're very excited to be inviting them on this grandest of adventures."

wow, this is amazing! at first, i was thinking "no! keep the bookcases!" because i love built-ins in a house, but it turns out that you were right -- it was a good idea to get rid of the bookcases! and the whole room is gorgeous! fantastic job!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful job!ReplyDelete
So nice and airy
Oh, how I love the clean, simple, crispness of this room!ReplyDelete
I wonder if I could live with white?
I may have to tone it down in stages.
It is truly lovely!
In your home, less really is more!
Thank you for showing us around your home!
I pray you have a happy and blessed delivery of your new little gifts! :)
I have just found your blog and am drooling. This living room is a DREAM.ReplyDelete
I have an cast iron wood stove in my living room. It is charming and cozy, but having always lived with fireplaces, I am having trouble envisioning how the decor should work around it. Have you seen any farmhouse rooms with woodstoves that you like?
Was wondering where you got your couch? Love all the white!ReplyDelete

Everything looks perfect! You are so right: white is bright and gives light. You take wonderful pictures and your stories are a pleasure to read.ReplyDelete
That new mat is so practical as well as beautiful, it suits the room and furniture really well.
I know how you feel to have achieved all that and can finally simply sit there looking at it. Thanks for this great blog.

can i ask wher you got your beautiful coffe table from????ReplyDelete
Hi Anon,ReplyDelete
I found it in an antique store in Washington state. I had seen one in a magazine years before so had been keeping an eye out for one for some time.
Great job! What a gorgeous bright space. Our living room is currently painted a dark red, which came with the house, and which I hate. I am so anxious to paint the walls white. We are also hoping to replace the living room furniture soon - would love to know your source for the sofa and chairs. They look similar to designs I have seen in Restoration Hardware. Thank you for sharing - the before and afters are so inspiring!ReplyDelete
Hi Frances,ReplyDelete
Both are by Rowe furniture!

Hi Trina,ReplyDelete
Your entire website and your taste are exquisite :)
I am also madly in love with this coffee table. Does the style have name? Or perhaps, the unusual base might have a specific name?
I am just wondering what terms I can search for it by on google.
Thank you!
It's an antique library table. I saw one in a magazine years ago but they can be hard to come by. The short ones, like ours, were cut down when coffee tables first came into fashion (early 1900's probably). Originally, it was table height.ReplyDelete
Love your home! What color white did you use in your living room? It's perfect!ReplyDelete
Hi Me!ReplyDelete
We used Simply White by Benjamin Moore. The Ecospec line and in flat.

Hi Trina,ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for telling me the name of the paint you used!
Thanks so much for replying with the paint color!ReplyDelete

Trina, thank you for letting me know about the table :) I plugged into google and came up with a few images like yours. I really appreciate it!ReplyDelete
gorgeous transformation, my hubby is building a house in the countryside back home and I am very much looking forward decorating it, so thanks for all the inspiration.ReplyDelete
I am just a beginner at doing home improvements and looking for inspiration to guide my decorating efforts. Thank you so much for your postings. I have the desire but very little creative know-how. I will be a regular visitor to your blog!ReplyDelete

Your home has me drooling. Love, love, love your approach to space and minimalsim. We are renovating a 1920's home built by my husband's immigrant Italian grandfather. The house is constructed of homemade blocks made of lime, sand, and concrete so I was amused when you talked about pre-drilling for pictures to be hung. Hanging pictures becomes an all day affair! Your blog is as clean and lovely as your home. I look forward to checking in from time to time to see what you have done. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Could you tell me where you got your rug?ReplyDelete
The rug pictured above is from Pottery Barn. It's a 9x10 seagrass. But it has been relocated to the dining room and a washed 12x18 jute rug from Home Decorator's is in its place.ReplyDelete
Hi Trina,ReplyDelete
How are you enjoying the Rowe furniture? I love the look of the chairs and would like to use them in our very active living/tv/everything room. Are they comfortable and how is the fabric working out with little kids?
Hi Sherry,ReplyDelete
We are very happy with the Rowe furniture we bought. The chairs are comfortable and have held up well. I've had to do some spot treatments (using just water) on chair a couple of times and it cleaned up completely.
Fabric is working out well too!
Hi Trina,ReplyDelete
Thank you for the information. A local company in Portland has the chairs on sale for $599 plus they will upgrade to any fabric choice for that price. It looks like you might have linen on your chairs. Can you share the name of the fabric?
Your home is absolutely stunning and such an inspiration! I came across your blog last fall while looking for inspiration for some home improvements works that we are doing to my grandparents' 1920s farmhouse, which I inherited last year. We are in the process of transforming an old coal burning fireplace into a wood burning one and the pictures of your living room fireplace caught my eye. Would you be willing to post the dimensions (both for the brick part and wood mantle) as I'd like to use similar dimensions for the reconfiguration.
Let me get back to you on that!
Mantle top is 90.5 inches wide. From floor to mantle top is 56 inches. The legs are 9.5 inches wide. the brick shows exactly twelve inches top and sides. Hope that helps!
Super helpful. Thanks a mil!ReplyDelete
Hello Trina,ReplyDelete
I have followed your blog for a while and have a quick question. What material is used on the floor base of your fireplace? It is a slate of some sort? Thank you for the tip and any assistance you can provide.
I love your fireplace screen! Is it an antique? I've searched online for something similar, but haven't had any luck.ReplyDelete
Hi Kate,ReplyDelete
I looked everywhere for a simple antique brass screen and didn't have much luck at all. Especially for a reasonable price. I came across ours at Home Depot! I think it was about $40. I bought it several years ago so not sure if they're still available...perhaps try online too.
Good luck!
The mantle was made by the cabinet maker who made our kitchen cabinets.ReplyDelete

Gorgeous home and so tastefully done. I am looking for a really faint shabby chic yellow. Do you still have the name of the original yellow you painted the walls in the entry and the living room? Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Dear Anon,ReplyDelete
I do not have the color. It was a linen beige and it was special mixed. I once inquired at the paint store what color it was but they didn't save the information.

Dear Trina ~ReplyDelete
I would like to thank you for posting so many pictures on your blog. We have a 1890's farm that has been in my husbands family for over 100 years. We are almost finished with our formal living room. Would you mind telling me the name of the Rowe chairs and sofa that you purchased. They look like they would fit perfectly in the space that we have. I also like the idea of selecting my fabric.
Thank you so much :)
The sofa and chairs are by Rowe furniture. www.rowefurniture.comReplyDelete
The chair is 'Carlyle' and the sofa is 'Fairfax.'
I would just like to say how love-li-liscious :) the entire blog is!! I adore it and the beautiful pics.Thank you to both of you for the work you out into it! Take care-ReplyDelete

Looking for window trim, I am delighted to have stumbled on your simply beautiful creation. I am in love with it all. And the view! Re. the trim, do you have any closer pics of it, both exterior and int? Or could you confirm if it is 1x4" side casing, and a 1x6" head casing; and a narrow bead mould below head or is that reveal that I think I see created from a 5/4" thick head casing? Whatever it is, just perfect, and would love to create that same look one day ;)ReplyDelete
Hi Kathryn,ReplyDelete
Trim is 4 1/4 wide on side casing and 5 1/2 wide on head casing. We replicated the existing trim that was throughout the house. The narrow bead was cut down from larger pieces.
Happy trimming to you!
I am so loving your beautiful home. The living room is breath taking. I am a big big fan of white and am using it in our dated1886 home. We have a wrap around porch that shades the house so the white really opens up the space. It's fresh and clean. I just came across your blog looking for side yard landscaping through google:) I'm so glad I did. I need to catch up on all the blog posts. What a beautiful home you have.ReplyDelete
Wow, no way could I keep a room looking that clean. I'm probably the only one to say this, but I think I like the old furniture and decorating better, after the remodel but before you went all white. I really liked the exposed brick before it was painted, and the white mantel set it off so nicely. The neutral colors were so cozy. Of course, I live in Colorado, which gets a lot of sunlight, so we rarely need to brighten our homes. As long as the windows are open, we're doing pretty good.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! i love an open fire. Tell me, how do you keep your house so clean? I need to learn! xReplyDelete
i haven't read through all of your posts to see if you had mentioned it ... what color of white did you paint in your living room?ReplyDelete
p.s. i love your style!
Sarah, We used Simply White on the living room walls. We used this color on all walls, trim, windows and doors throughout the house. Best, TrinaReplyDelete
thanks Trina :)ReplyDelete
SO excited! I just found a coffee table that is almost identical to yours!!ReplyDelete
Mine, however, is in an unfinished condition where everything was stripped off.
Did you refinish yours, or is it as found?
As always, love seeing your beautiful home!

i love it -- however the overall feel for me is warmer and more inviting (from the photos anyway) with our blonde brick and darker walls. I think the all white makes it too comtemporary if you're after a period-look.beautiful regardlessReplyDelete
Hello. Love your white living room. Could you tell us where you found the mirror over the mantel? Thanks!ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON (AP)-- Federal officials say they are temporarily grounding Boeing's 787 Dreamliners until the risk of possible battery fires is addressed.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it will issue an emergency safety order requiring U.S. airlines to temporarily cease operating the 787, Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced plane.
The agency said it will work with Boeing and U.S. air carriers to develop a plan allowing 787s to "resume operations as quickly and safely as possible." United Airlines is the only U.S. carrier with 787s. It has six.
Only days ago, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood declared the plane safe.
But after an emergency landing in Japan early Wednesday, two Japanese airlines voluntarily grounded their 787s.
The FFA order applies only to U.S. carriers, but aviation authorities in other countries usually follow the lead of the country where the manufacturer is based. Fifty Dreamliners have been delivered in the U.S. and around the world.

Revision as of 17:03, 18 June 2008
VGA initialization in coreboot v2
You need to enable two CONFIG options in your Mainboard Option.lb
<source lang="bash">
- VGA Console
option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1 option CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1 </source>
CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN will use the embedded x86 emulator to run the BIOS image in the expansion ROM of a PCI device. CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA will redirect console messages to the VGA screen once VGA card is initialized.
For add-on (PCI/PCIe/PCI-X/AGP) VGA cards, you don't have to do anything else besides these two CONFIG options. If your mainboard has an on-board VGA chip and you insert another VGA add-on card, the add-on VGA card will be used instead of the on-board VGA chip.
On-board Video Devices
If you want to use the onboard VGA chip, you have to add the following options in addition to the CONFIG options described above.
Mainboard Configuration
1. In the mainboard's Config.lb (./src/mainboard/<mfg>/<board>/Config.lb) You need to specify the device number for your on-board VGA and the address that the video bios will show up at in the system.
<source lang = bash>
device pci 9.0 on # PCI chip drivers/pci/onboard device pci 9.0 on end register "rom_address" = "0xfff80000" #512k image #register "rom_address" = "0xfff00000" #1M image end end
Replace the 9.0 with the dev.fn of your vga device. You can find this number by doing a 'lspci' from the board booted under linux. Please make sure the device number is correct. Otherwise the config code can not compute the proper ROM address.
How to compute the "rom_address" value
ROM (called 'flash' a lot) chips are located directly below 4Gbyte (0xffffffff) boundary.
So you need to calculate the address by subtracting the flash chip size (and adding the offset within the image)
In coreboot the offset within the image is 0, because its the first thing in the coreboot image.
So you need to compute the address in the systems memory space where the start of the video bios will show up.
To do this you take the 4Gb of address and subtract the size of your coreboot image.
0x100000000 - (ROM size in Kb * 1024)
You can do this in bash by:
<source lang="bash"> biossize=256 printf "0x%x\n" $(( 0x100000000 - ($biossize*1024) )) </source>
Addresses for popular chip sizes:
256K 0xfffc0000 512k 0xfff80000 1024k 0xfff00000
Target Configuration
2. You still need to modify your target 'Config.lb' to reserve space for the additional video bios. Reduce the size of your coreboot image by the size of the video bios. You will prepend the video bios to the coreboot image in step 3.
in the normal section
<source lang="bash"> romimage "normal"
- 48K for SCSI FW or ATI ROM
option ROM_SIZE = 475136 </source>
or if you only have a "fallback" boot then use the "fallback" section instead.
In the above example the bios chip is 512Kb part. The video bios is 48Kb. So (512*1024)-(48*1024) = 475136.
Creating an Image
3. Finally, prepend your video bios to the coreboot.rom
<source lang="bash"> cat <videobios.bin> coreboot.rom > final_coreboot.rom </source>
where <videobios.bin> is the name of your video bios image. You need to make sure the final_coreboot.rom size is the size of your ROM chip. Normally 256kb, 512kb, or 1024Kb.
dd is helpfull to get your <videobios.bin> when booted under the factory BIOS.
How to retrieve a good video bios
Extracting from your vendor bios image
The recommended method is to take your mainboard vendor's BIOS image and extract the VGA BIOS using a tool called awardeco/amideco/phnxdeco. This is the most reliable way:
- You are guaranteed to get an image that fits to your onboard VGA
- Even if your VGA BIOS uses self-modifying code you get a correct image
There are sites that have video bios roms on their website. (I know of this one for nvidia cards: [1])
Extracting from the system
However you should be able to retrieve your own video bios as well with linux.
- Boot up a machine with a commercial bios (not coreboot) with the video card you wish to work under coreboot.
- From the command line enter:
dd if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.bin skip=1536 count=128 or
dd if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.bin bs=1k count=64 skip=768
This assumes you card's bios is cached at 0xc0000, and is 64K long. You
can see where and how much your card's bios is using by
doing a cat iomem | grep "Video ROM"
- dd Explained (man dd to learn more):
- if is the location to retrieve from.
- of is the output file (your rom image)
- skip jumps n blocks where the default n is 512 bytes
- count is how many blocks you wish to read
- bs is the block size
- dd Explained (man dd to learn more):
- You now have a video bios image
Perl script to dump out your video bios
This is a simple script that computes the size and offset then uses the command dd to dump your video bios to a file.
<source lang="perl">
($range, $info) = split /:/, `grep "Video ROM" /proc/iomem`; ($start, $end) = split /-/, $range;
if( $start eq "" ) {

VGA initialization in coreboot v3
In coreboot v3 you have to set your PCI option ROM execution method under the Device menu. The default is x86emu. To get a smaller (and slightly more insecure) version, you can switch to vm86. If you don't want option rom execution, set it to Disabled.
On-board devices
To add option roms for on-board video cards to your coreboot image, you can just add the image using lar:
<source lang="bash"> lar -C lzma -a coreboot.rom vgabios.rom:pciXXXX,YYYY.rom </source>
In the above example, vgabios.rom is the name of your option rom on disk. XXXX is the PCI vendor ID of your on-board video adapter and YYYY is its PCI device ID.

My cakes, though, are not pretty. I've decided to make peace with that fact.
After coming to terms with this truth, I decided my birthday was the perfect excuse to make a cake I'd been dreaming about from the book Cake Ladies. (Found on Amazon and B&N.}
Three things:
- If you happen to have a friend who is a beekeeper, this cake is even more special. Yes, I'm lucky enough to have such a friend...Amy from She Wears Many Hats. Is that totally cool, or what? I loved that the honey for this cake came from her bees!
- Cake Ladies...if you haven't seen this book, take a look online or next time you're out at a bookshop. Not only is it filled with delicious tried-and-true cake recipes, but the book showcases 17 southern "cake ladies," and their stories are so wonderful.
- For the moistest cake, make the cake at least a day ahead of frosting...more on this in the instructions. Trust me.
Spiced Poppy Seed Cake with Almond Buttercream Frosting
{slightly modified from Cake Ladies}
for the cake:
1 & 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 & 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 TBSP baking powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
6 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 cups milk, at room temperature
2 TBSP vinegar
1 TBSP almond extract
1/2 cup poppy seeds
for the frosting:
3 sticks (1 & 1/2 cups) salted butter, at room temperature
7 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 & 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
6 TBSP half-and-half, plus more if needed
poppy seeds for sprinkling
Make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease three 9" round cake pans with shortening; line the bottoms with parchment.
Sift the flours, baking powder, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom together. Set aside.
With the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, use the paddle attachment to cream together the butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. On low speed, add the egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a bowl, combine the milk, vinegar, and almond extract. (Don't worry if it curdles.)
Add the dry mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk/vinegar mixture. Mix lightly, between additions, just until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
Fold in the poppy seeds, then fold in the whipped egg whites in three additions. (Re-whip the egg whites first if they have separated.)
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until done. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire cooling racks. Once the cakes are cool enough to handle, but still warm, wrap in plastic wrap, then in foil and freeze overnight, or until you're ready to frost.
{This tip is from my friend, Gail, and guarantees a moist cake.}
The day you're going to frost the cake, take the layers out of the freezer and place in the refrigerator for several hours to defrost.
Make the frosting:
Cream the butter and powdered sugar together using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer until it forms a thick "paste." Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts, then the half-and-half. Beat until fully combined. Add more half-and-half as needed to get to a fluffy consistency. Beat until fluffy and no lumps remain.
Will keep covered at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerated for about 1 week.
Don't wait until your birthday...make it NOW!

With time, my love for tomatoes started to grow and thanks to "Heirloom Tomatoes" a whole new world has opened to me, revealing the most intriguing tomatoes I have ever come across.
"Heirloom Tomatoes", or heritage tomatoes come in so many shapes, tastes and colors that it is impossible not to fall in love with them all!
Until now, I've tested "Green Zebra", "Kumato", "Golden Queen", "Yellow Jelly Bean", "Cherry" & "Beef Heart" tomatoes and I had much pleasure eating them.
"Heirloom" is the theme for the September CLICK photo event at Jugalbandi. I have submitted the fourth photo, so i'm crossing my fingers in order to be amongst the lucky winner...
66 comments:
I agree Rosa! I can't stop eating tomatoes now! I just wish we could get more of the heirloom variety here in Australia.ReplyDelete
i shud giv a try on some of these varieties of heirloom tomatoes!ReplyDelete
je suis en plein dans la confiture de tomates vertesReplyDelete
Celle de ta photo ont un gout de groseille je trouve :)
Magnifiques tes tomates...ReplyDelete
I have the same green coloured tomatoes in my father's garden: they taste so nice, don't they?ReplyDelete
Love the tomatoes. We do not have this variety here in Oz (I don't think), but I love tomatoes in general!ReplyDelete
A photgraphers dream come true Rosa. How absolutely lovely! Beautiful colour play.ReplyDelete
Those are such beautiful pics Rosa. I'm with you - as kid I would pick the tomato out of my food, I'd only eat tomato sauce. Now I'd be lost without fresh tomatoes.ReplyDelete
I have tested during this summer the Green ZEbra and it was fabulous ! PierreReplyDelete
I was never a great lover of tomatoes as a kid either ... but freshly picked tomatoes, right off the vine ... VERY good.ReplyDelete
I've never seen this kind of tomato ... the one you've feature here. Pretty.
Bellissimi, gialli si li ho visti ma zebrati...meravigliosi!ReplyDelete
Buon inizio settimana
Never see before this type of tomatoes, I love them, beauty pics, with the kids Rosa we eat tomatoes all year!! winter,spring,summer falletc. But the most I love are the tomatoes summer, are so tasy!! xxgloriaReplyDelete

Beautiful heirlooms! Heirloom tomatoes are always my favorite!ReplyDelete
Je ne connais pas toutes ces variété de tomatesReplyDelete
tes photos sont vraiment superbes
Magnifiques couleurs.ReplyDelete
Ce sont de très belles tomates. Vive la diversité et l'originalité!
As soon as I open your page, I was like, OMG ... this is my son most favorite tomato. he love this zebra green stripes tomato so much. He told me to make salad with this type of tomato every single day. So funny that he only like this color. Wonder why?ReplyDelete
Beautiful shots Rosa!
Très belles photos.Bravo!ReplyDelete
I havent tasted these as yet, let me see if i can find them here :)ReplyDelete
I've spent a lot of the last week eating a large variety of heirlooms. I'm trying to remember the names now. I know one was "Black Sea Man" - I can't remember the others, but they are soooooo good!ReplyDelete
I like them especially on whole wheat bread with a little mayonnaise. The perfect summer lunch.
Rosa, as a kid I failed to see what all the fuss was about tomatoes, unless it came in sauce form.ReplyDelete
As an adult, my feelings didn't change much, until I tried a friend's homegrown tomatoes. That's when tomatoes finally gained my respect. It's also when I started growing my own. Being a wimpy, amateur gardener, I started out with Sweet 100s. But, even those tasted heavenly, compared to the impostors sold in supermarkets.
I also love heirloom tomatoes, but your lovely photos makes them too pretty to eat. It's tomato art![g]
Je crois que je ne les ai jamais mangé, mais maintenant je suis trés interessée, merci mon amie.ReplyDelete
I love heirloom tomatoes! And they're so pretty, they look like little gemstones.ReplyDelete
Même les tomates sont superbes quand tu les prends en photoReplyDelete
J'en ai eu cette année dans mon potager, une merveille pour les papilles ! accompagné d'un filet d'huile d'olive et une pointe de sel... que du bonheur ! Tes photos sont absolument sublimes Rosa, bonne soirée, bisousReplyDelete
I love tomatoes. These are just the prettiest pictures!ReplyDelete
I am always seeking out heirlooms for their colour and outstanding flavours.They are like all the colours of a sunset on your plate.ReplyDelete
Je ne connais pas mais elles sont vraiment jolies ces tomates Rosa:)xxxReplyDelete
I never liked toamtoes at all as a kid - so mushy but now, they're a real staple, espcially in summer. Thanks for increasing my awareness of all things culinary - these are gorgeous and amazing to look at.ReplyDelete
I must try and get some seed and grow these next year. They look lovelyReplyDelete
OMG! lovely pics. I kept staring it for a pretty long time he he! Impressive :-)ReplyDelete
..tu es tellement toujours intéressante Rosa..ReplyDelete
~nancy xx
I totally agree with you beautiful, when I was a child I hated tomatoes, I remember my Mom used to tell us that we should eat them because that was the only possible way t have som nice pinky cheeks!! (haha)..I never buy her the idea..ReplyDelete
Until I got older I became so fond about tomatos, glad to know I'm not alone.
I find heirloom tomatoes so interesting. I have a funny relationship with tomatoes, I can't eat them on salad but I will eat them on anything else.ReplyDelete
These tomatoes are such a beauty ! i'd love to grow them too !!ReplyDelete
so beautiful pictures...ReplyDelete
Moi aussi quand j'étais enfant, je n'aimais pas les tomates, faut dire que ma mère en faisait presque tous les jours...Ce n'est qu'à l'âge adulte que j'ai su les apprécier, comme le choux fleur...ReplyDelete
Il n'y a que les imbéciles qui ne changent pas d'avis!!!
Just the right ones. YOu can use thse to enter Jugalbandi, where a monthly food event is going. Heirloom recipes and photos have to be submitted. I bet you will win. These are so beautiful.ReplyDelete
VIJITHA: Thanks ever so much!ReplyDelete
Je connais cette variété de tomates que j'ai eu l'occasion de goûter au château de la Bourdaisière qui cultive plus de 630 variétés. Elles sont excellentes !ReplyDelete
Bisous, Doria
not only are heirlooms soooo gorgeous, but i also think they taste far superior to your typical red tomater. my grandpa has actually bred his own heirloom variety, and it's the best tomato i've ever put into my mouth. :)ReplyDelete
I love green zebras! Good luck in the contest!ReplyDelete
I like the way you had shot them, the outcome looks amazing, just jive with my taste, well executed! congrats!ReplyDelete
Tout à fait extraordinaire !ReplyDelete
je vais moi aussi croiser les doigts pour toiReplyDelete
il y a un nombre incroyable de variétés de tomates et celle ci est belle et surtout savoureuse
Fabulous tomatoes Rosa. Good luck with CLICK!ReplyDelete
Superbes ces tomates!! Je vais essayer d'en planter l'an prochain. Bises.ReplyDelete
mon voisin est fana de variétés anciennes, grâce à lui je me régale depuis des années, quel bonheur de retrouver le vrai gout des tomates ( et tant pis pour ceux qui n'achètent que des variétés industrielles!ReplyDelete
Fascinant et les photos sont magnifiques! Bises et bonne soiréeReplyDelete
Very nice photos! Those tomatoes are so intriguing. I really hope you will be the lucky winner of the September CLICK photo event!ReplyDelete
Like you, I didnt like tomatoes outside of sauce either :) gorgeous pictures!ReplyDelete
Really gorgeous photos and tomatoes of course.ReplyDelete
Wow, I never had this kind of tomatoes...very interesting...and thank you so much for the pictures!ReplyDelete
Tu es la première personne que j'entends dire ne pas aimer les tomates.ReplyDelete
Heureusement que tu as changé d'avis.
Superbes photos.Bonne chance pour le concours.
So I am not the only one with tomato issues - cool! I don't like them unless they're in something; I pick them out of salads & off of burgers & sandwiches!ReplyDelete
les tomates vertes, ça fait longtemps que j'en ai pas vu. J'en mangeais beaucoup petite au Liban. Celles de ta photo sont un peu différentes de ce que je connais, ceci dit elles sont très jolies je trouve!ReplyDelete
Nice blog, Rosa!ReplyDelete
MMMMmmmmm.. tomatoes....
Ladybird :)
They are so pretty. I just wish I wasn't allergic.ReplyDelete
I'm the same with tomaotes. Usually they're just nowhere near as exciting as they should be! Until you try a great one that is...ReplyDelete
ahhhh tomatoes.. love em right now!ReplyDelete
I had the same tomato experience as you. Younger I only ate freshly-grown garden tomatoes because everything else had no taste to me. I LOVE heirloom tomatoes and your photos are beautiful! Hope you win.ReplyDelete
gorgeous tomatoes. thanks for your entry, dear rosa.ReplyDelete
Quelles belles tomates!ReplyDelete
Je te souhaite de gagner car tu es vraiment très talentueuse!
Magnifique composition! J'aime beaucoup!!ReplyDelete
Bises et beau dimanche.
I used toi feel the way you did. It all depends onthe tomato. Beautiful photos!ReplyDelete
Your photos are majestical and magical. You would have my vote.ReplyDelete

Risk Management Solutions
When your financial plan includes wealth protection and risk management, you'll be helping to ensure your family — and your vision for the future — is secure. We'll work with you to develop strategies to:
Provide for your family in the event of death.
Life insurance policies can be designed with different needs in mind. They can provide temporary protection, cash accumulation or may be utilized as part of an estate plan. Through our association with Northwestern Mutual, we have access to Northwestern Mutual's high-quality, competitively priced life insurance products, including permanent, term, combination and variable policies.
Provide for you and your family in the event of a disability.
Disability income insurance helps to protect your most valuable asset, your ability to earn an income. But what if the unexpected happened and you suddenly weren't able to earn a living because of illness or injury? Not only would you have the stress of meeting everyday living expenses, but you might also have to put other goals, like saving for a child's college or for retirement, on hold.
Provide for long-term care.
Long-term Care events can have a significant impact on your financial security. Planning for long-term care events can help provide options on how to fund and receive care, should you need it.

The Pre-Game Songs That Send Matt Barnes Soaring
Language Advisory: The songs linked to in this article contain lyrics that some listeners may find offensive.
As many people head back to the gym this month, we're doing our part to help with The Ultimate NPR Workout Mix.
We're asking people what songs make them move, and it turns out music is just as important for motivating professional athletes as it is for the rest of us. We caught up with Los Angeles Lakers forward Matt Barnes after a recent practice --he says that before games, it's all about one rapper.
"I'm listening to 2Pac the whole time," Barnes says. "While I'm getting treatment, while I'm stretching, I'm listening to music. With 2Pac you can't go wrong."
Barnes has played for eight different NBA teams in his nine years in the league. Last year, injuries kept him out of much of his first season with the Lakers, but now his team has finally named him a starter. It's not surprising many of his music picks — such as 2Pac's "Secretz of War" — are about overcoming adversity.
"He's talking about, either you're with us or against us," Barnes says of the song. "That's the kind of music that I listen to before games to get me going. It's us against the world when you step out on that court."
Barnes' picks includes two more 2Pac classics: "Hold Ya Head" and "Against All Odds."
"You know," he explains, "because everyone's really counted our team out."

The Lewis Carroll Society of North America (LCSNA), founded in 1974, is an organization of Carroll admirers of all ages and interests, as well as a virtual center for Carroll studies. The Society has members throughout the world, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the UK, with interests in virtually all of Lewis Carroll's many pursuits and in his continuing impact on our current culture.
The permanent address is
Lewis Carroll Society of North America
2578 Broadway, #556
New York, NY 10025-8844
About Our Meetings
The Society holds a one-day meeting twice a year, in the Spring and in the Fall. Meeting places have included such locations as the Parrish Collection at Princeton University, the Berol Collection at New York University's Fales Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington DC, the Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas in Austin, the Newberry Library in Chicago, the Arthur Houghton Collection at the Pierpont Morgan Library and the Harcourt Amory collection at Harvard University's Houghton Library. Meetings are free and open to the public.
The list of speakers at our meetings is a veritable who's who of all aspects of Carrollian knowledge. Below are listed just a handful of other notable speakers who have shared their wisdom with us over the years. When you consider the range of talks, you can begin to share our appreciation of the breadth of Lewis Carroll's influence.
Dr. Morton N. Cohen – Various topics
David del Tredici – his musical composition, Final Alice
Barry Moser – illustrating Wonderland
Prof. Peter Heath – Alice parodies
David and Maxine Schaefer – the Lewis Carroll Stone in Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey
Joyce Carol Oates – Wonderlands
Lou Bunin – his 1951 Alice film
Prof. Francine Abeles – Lewis Carroll's Mathematical Wit
Dr. Elizabeth Sewell – the Nature of Nonsense
Adolph Green – My Lifelong Passion for Lewis Carroll
Nina Demurova – Translating Alice into Russian
William Appleton – The Appleton Alice
Kathryn Beaumont – Voicing Alice in Disney's animated film
Dr. Selwyn Goodacre – Carroll Collecting
Robert Sabuda – his award-winning pop-up Alice book
Adam Gopnik – Martin Gardner's Annotated Snark
There is more to our meetings than talks, panel discussions, and entertainment. We also enjoy sharing a meal. (And unlike Lewis Carroll, we enjoy eating more than just a biscuit and a glass of wine!) The communal luncheon or dinner is an integral part of our meeting agenda and provides time for catching up with old friends and making new ones. At the LCSNA get-togethers not only can you talk about the latest books, often you can chat with the authors themselves. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our author and to establish life-long friendships with fellow Carrollians.
Occasionally we have meetings that span two or three days. This allows us time to attend Carrollian theater productions, see local book and art exhibits, or hear music performances. Our members enjoy having the additional time to engage in more tantalizing discussions with each other, compare notes, and brag about recent acquisitions. Often members are kind enough to open their homes to members who wish to view their collections during these extended sessions. We have also been known to have an auction now and again to benefit the Society, which always brings a different perspective to the group's interaction.
About Our Publications
The Society maintains an active publication program. Members receive copies of the Knight Letter (our magazine), and often our new publications as free membership premiums. For example, the Society located and published the lost chapter of Through the Looking-Glass entitled "The Wasp in a Wig," and during the sesquicentennial celebration of Carroll's birth in 1982, the Society and the Pierpont Morgan Library jointly sponsored an exhibition called "Lewis Carroll and Alice," featuring the original manuscript of Alice's Adventures under Ground, for which an informative catalogue was printed. For more information, please see our Publications page.
Conferences and More!
In 1994, the Society hosted the second International Lewis Carroll Conference at the Graylyn Executive Conference Center at Wakeforest University in North Carolina and gave Carroll scholars and enthusiasts from around the globe a chance to exchange ideas.
We have sponsored expeditions to notable sites of Carrollian interest in England. We have also contributed to the Lewis Carroll memorial plaque in Poet's Corner at Westminster Abbey, and to the maintenance of Lewis Carroll's gravesite.
We planned an epic series of Carrollian events in 2015, the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Educating the public on Lewis Carroll's many contributions to society is the focus of our ongoing programs. For more about this aspect of the LCSNA, please visit our Education and Lewis Carroll pages.
The official Society Archives are housed in the Fales Library at NYU.
Our Officers
Our officers keep things moving and are happy to answer questions not already answered on this website. Read more about them.
Our Constitution and By-Laws
Review our Constitution and By-Laws, which state the Society's rules of operation.
If you have interest in Lewis Carroll, or simply a love for Alice (or the Snark for that matter)—join us!
