Therein lies the confusion. The Internet is bursting at its seems with naked girls online in pretty much every possible way... And there is a serious amount freely viewable if a person is interested. Basically, nudity online is abundantly available at all price points from free to mega rich.
Makes me say there is something else at play in this mans mind. 105 years in jail is excessive and won't help him. Whatever problem he has is mental and needs to be dealt with as such. What the girls went through wasn't good at all, but it is a great deal less traumatizing than rape. I'm confident that imprisonment would only turn him into a rapist or worse; if he is ever released. As he'll be surrounded by sex crimes offenders who will train him.

Why is it every time we get a story where someone was sentenced for a large number of years, people seem to think it is excessive?
If the penalty for breaking law A is 1 year and you break the same law over and over, at different intervals of time, then you get counts per penalty. He broke into HUNDREDS of accounts. Thus 105 counts of breaking law A, at 1 year per count, is 105 years.
People somehow like to compare this to 20 years for manslaughter. Well, that is 20 years for ONE count of manslaughter. If you want to make a proper comparison, you would have to compare 105 years for 105 counts of hacking compared to 2,100 years for 105 counts of manslaughter.
Not so extreme anymore, now is it?
Posted 31 January 2013 - 13:45
Incidentally Norway and other countries with lower crime rates and compared to America practically zero relate criminals after jail/rehabilitation, allows parallel and not consecutive sentencing.
After all if your rehabilitating someone, it doesn't make sense to rehabilitate him 105 times for the same thing.

George Henry Hall's large sketchbook contains highly finished images of locations in Italy and the northeastern United States, with the majority of pages devoted to his Italian travels in 1852. Since Hall is primarily known as a genre and still-life painter, this sketchbook provides a rare glimpse into his experiments with landscape composition. Executed naturalistically in graphite with accents of white watercolor, the drawings follow the picturesque landscape conventions established by the Hudson River School. These conventions include framing a distant panoramic vista with foreground trees or other vertical elements.

This report analyzes how recent immigrants to France fare in the country's labor market over time. The research shows that new arrivals initially face a hostile labor market and ultimately improve their employment outcomes—but their process of labor market insertion and advancement is a slow one.
This issue brief explores the Asia-Pacific region's active engagement in the Global Forum on Migration and Development and suggests modes of collaboration between governments and other migration stakeholders on issues that are particularly relevant to the region.
This MPI event, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), discusses the critical issue of climate-related displacement in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the vulnerability of environmental migrants and how the international legal framework can better ensure their protection.
Many of Sweden's immigrants are refugees who lack the skills and education to gain employment soon after they arrive. Over time, however, newcomers to Sweden have improved their employment rates, displayed income growth similar to natives, and moved from low- to middle-skilled positions. This report assesses how new immigrants—refugees, labor migrants, and others—fare in Sweden's labor market.
A quiet policy transformation is taking place in Europe, as policymakers increasingly turn to a strategy of "mainstreaming" immigrant integration—seeking to reach people with a migration background through needs-based social programming and policies that also target the general population. This report assesses mainstreaming efforts across government in Denmark, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
This report assesses how new immigrants to Spain fare in the country's labor market, evaluating the conditions under which they are able to find employment, and their progress out of unskilled work into middle-skilled jobs. The report is part of a series of six case studies on labor market outcomes among immigrants to European Union countries.
This issue brief addresses the rights of migrants whose movement is induced by environmental degradation or climate change, particularly in the highly vulnerable Asia-Pacific region. The brief evaluates the current international legal framework, identifies gaps in the framework and its implementation, and reviews options available to the international community.
This report assesses the labor market outcomes of new immigrants in the Czech Republic, focusing on trends according to year of arrival, country of origin, gender, level of education, and sector of employment. The analysis suggests that the challenge of reducing obstacles to immigrant workers' progression into more skilled employment are worth significant policy attention.

CHIPLEY — Everything except the county millage rate was discussed by the Washington County Board of County Commissioners Monday, July 29, when they held a special workshop.
The workshop was called Thursday so the commissioners could discuss the millage rate. The commissioners will vote on a millage rate Wednesday in a special meeting.
County Clerk of Court and Comptroller Linda Cook asked the commissioners to set the millage rate at Thursday's meeting. She proposed a millage rate of 9.23 mills to the commissioners, up from last year's rate of 8.9195 mills.
The county is required to set the millage by Aug. 4, Cook said.
Cook asked the commissioners to set a millage rate for the county board's meeting in Chipley. "We need a decision on the millage rate, we have got to have this turned in to the state by Aug. 4," she said. The commissioners avoided the millage question, however, instead looking at the county's proposed budget for places to cut — including discussions of doing away with the jobs of county manager and a human resources director, setting a minimum county property tax of $250, taking away county employees' paid lunch benefit, and increasing the amount county employees pay for health insurance among other ideas.
Most of the ideas came from Commissioner Todd Abbott, who opened the discussion.
"I just want to throw a couple of things out there," Abbott said, "first and a citizen of Washington County, secondly as a taxpayer, and third as a county commissioner."
Abbott said the county is facing a budget shortfall, and the job of budgeting for the county is not getting any easier.
"Has anyone contacted the constitutional officers to see what money they will be bringing back to the budget?" Abbott asked. "Have we thought about contacting them and seeing if they could cut their budgets by three percent?"
Abbott also suggested the county look into setting a minimum property tax of $250 for all residents. "The minority of residents are paying the taxes for the majority," he said. "I think everyone who uses county services should have to pay taxes."
Chairman Alan Bush noted that the county budget is facing unfunded mandates from the state and federal governments, which have increased the county's financial woes. As the budget stands presently, the county is facing a $102,000 deficit.
"We couldn't have predicted they would increase the amount the county has to pay into the retirement the way they did," Bush said, noting that the county is being required to pay an additional $227,000 to the state employee pension program.
On top of that, the county's ad valorem tax base has dropped about $228,000, due to declining property values.
"We have discussed this and discussed this — we knew this day was coming," said Commissioner Charles Brock. "Why don't we do something? Why doesn't the county get prepared?"
"I said it before, we need a strategic plan for the county," Commissioner Joel Pate said. "We've never had one, but we need to sit down and come up with a plan. This county has no plan whatsoever. Whatever someone sticks on the agenda, that's our plan."
"When times were good, the county spent and spent," Commissioner Lynn Gothard said. "I don't know if a tax increase is the road for us to go down or not, but I do know that if I take a decrease in pay at work, then I have to cut down on my spending.
"I believe we can balance this budget," Gothard said, "and next year we can begin to plan."
Abbott asked County Attorney Jeff Goodman about the $250 property tax.
"What is basis for the taxing authority?" Goodman asked. He said the county is limited in its authority to tax residents. "I would look at making it an MSTU and I would get away from talking about the Homestead Exemption."
Goodman said the county had used its 1 cent small county tax option in 1993 so that was unavailable.
Brock asked about taking a sales tax increase to the people for approval. "A lot of our residents do their shopping in Panama City or Dothan, where they are paying eight or nine cents. Why are we still stuck at seven?"
Gothard also asked why the county manager's salary was not spread out among the different department's budgets. "He's the county manager, he's over all those departments, I don't see why they don't all pay a share of his salary."
Bush noted that when the commissioners changed David Corbin's job title to county coordinator and gave him a pay raise, they county was still saving money. "He gets a much lesser salary, we still saved thousands of dollars," Bush said.
The county administrator salary was $85,255, Abbott said, and that was money the county saved by having Corbin fill in.
Gothard also questioned the $45,000 budgeted for a human resources director's position.
"Why couldn't we advertise that job at $24,000? We have a lot of secretaries who make less than that in the county."
Abbott asked about $50,000 that is budgeted for travel expenses, and suggested the commissioners give up their $600 a month travel reimbursement. "We could give that money back toward the human resources director's salary," he said.
No one volunteered to give up their travel reimbursement.
"If a commissioner has travel expenses and wants reimbursement, he should get it," Goodman said.
Bush asked how Holmes County handled human resources without having an HR director. "It's a team effort," Goodman said. "But you are talking apples and oranges here. Washington County is a whole other thing than Holmes County."
Goodman said Washington County had as many public record requests in a week as Holmes County received in a year.
"It's just the same two or three people doing that," Bush said.
"Yes, but we still have to reply to them," Goodman said.
Abbott was told the county spends $579 each month on health insurance for each of the county's 160 employees.
"What if we cut that back to $400 and had the employees pay the $179?" Abbott asked.
"Our employees don't make that much," Bush said.
Abbott said county employees are also paid for their lunch hour, and suggested the county cut out that practice.
"You want to hurt 160 employees to save two positions?" Gothard asked Abbott.
Goodman noted that Washington County has no union contract with its employees, so cutting hours or health benefits would not have to be negotiated.
"I'm not willing to do that to 160 employees," Gothard said.
"I'm just throwing out ideas," Abbott said.
"Here's the thing — we're not getting anywhere, just throwing out ideas," Brock said. "We need to just vote, yes or no. We can sit up here and talk all day long."

WATERLOO, Iowa - President Barack Obama stressed an economic message Tuesday night in Waterloo, saying electing Mitt Romney would mean a return to trickle-down economics.
Speaking before a crowd of 1,800 at Waterloo's RiverLoop Amphitheater, Obama criticized Romney's economic plans, saying the idea of giving more tax breaks to wealthy Americans won't help the middle class and won't help stimulate the economy.
"We tried this before. We tried this trickle-down fairy dust before. Guess what? It didn't work then and it won't work now," Obama said to cheers from his supporters.
"It's not a plan to create jobs. It's not a plan to reduce the deficit. It's not a plan to move our economy forward. It's not a plan to revive the middle class," he said
Obama praised the economic progress made under the Bill Clinton administration, indicating that's the direction his vision for America is headed. In particular, he praised the deficit reduction and job creation in the Clinton years.
"I don't believe in trickle-down economics, I believe in middle class-out economics. I believe in bottom-up economics. I believe in making sure everybody's got a fair shot. That's why I'm running for a second term as president of the United States of America," Obama said.
His answer from the crowd was a chant of "four more years."
Obama often credits Iowa as helping launch his presidential campaign, and he thanked the Waterloo crowd once again for giving him his start.
While speakers warming up the crowd hammered on Romney and running mate Paul Ryan for Medicare and Social Security changes in Ryan's budget plans, Obama mostly stuck to drawing contrasts between his economic plans and those of his rivals.
In a working-class town like Waterloo which still retains a strong organized labor presence, the message was on key.
When he strayed from the economy, he touted his foreign policy record in ending the war in Iraq and eliminating Osama bin Laden.
Obama also talked of how the Affordable Care Act is now a settled issue after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on it in June. He also said it benefits Americans.
He talked of how he now uses the term "Obamacare" because he does care.
"I've never heard him embrace the term Obamacare. Tonight he did and I think it's fantastic," said Pierre-Damian Mvuyekure of Cedar Falls.
Obama painted his plans for America as one that creates opportunities for everyone, while Romney's plan would help the rich and then rely on hope that the benefits would then reach the masses. He said he wants to continue to work to reduce waste in the government.
"We can't bring down our deficit and our debt just by asking for us to get rid of the things that help open up opportunities for Americans," Obama said.
Tuesday was the second day of a three-day Iowa bus tour that began Monday in Council Bluffs. On Wednesday he will speak in Dubuque and Davenport.

President Barack Obama has succeeded in fundamentally transforming America from a nation that valued rights of individuals to a nation that values the better good for the "collective" even at the expense of individual rights.
In other words, America is now a socialist state like any other socialist state in the world.
We're no longer different.
The state, of course, knows what's better for all of us. We know this because the mainstream media tell us Obama and progressives know what one-size-fits-all solution works for the whole country.
Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes" served up softball dialogue in the love fest between Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this past Sunday. All is rosy, with no one asking any questions about inconvenient incidents.
On the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands demonstrated against abortion in Washington with hardly a mention in the mainstream media.
More than 50 million babies have been aborted in the past forty years, more than one million every year. Babies that survive late term abortions are normally killed, though some are allowed to live and are usually given to adoption agencies.
Shocking? Didn't know some babies survive abortions? Inconvenient incidences. Shhhhhh!
Obama and progressives know what's best for all of us who've already been born.
More than $500 million tax dollars pay Planned Parenthood for the vast majority of abortions every year. That's what's best for America collectively. That way we won't have to waste even more tax dollars to take care of unwanted children. Inconvenient incidences.
Benghazi cover-up? Get over it! What does it matter? We were in the heat of an important election! What do you expect? The mainstream media ruled on this inconvenient incident a long time ago. Please, let's move on.
Now, let's get to the serious matter of saving children's lives … those who are already born. Obviously, conservatives don't care about children's safety. They advocate for guns in school zones. Everybody knows gun-free zones are safer for children. Just post the signs and everybody will be safe. The main thing is to make sure law abiding citizens register their guns with the government so the government will know who has guns and who doesn't, i.e. who's dangerous and who isn't. Then, let's post this information on the Internet. You know, we need to be transparent.
Since Obama became president, the world has become a safer place. Northern Africa and the Middle East, particularly Syria, are much safer these days because of our new foreign policy of maintaining a light footprint and leading from behind. Al Qaeda has been decimated, and the Arab spring is generating a spirit of democracy with the Muslim Brotherhood dominating elections and essentially instituting Sharia Law.
Welcome to the new, transformed America that values the collective over individual rights, that protects children that are already born, and that leads the world with progressive policies where law abiding citizens can lead safe and secure lives if they'll just do everything the government asks them to do. It's not about individual rights! It's about the collective good! What's best for everyone!

Let's Avoid the Fog of War
As the Obama administration considers military action against Syria as retaliation for its alleged use of chemical weapons, it's important to consider what such strikes could actually accomplish, and at what cost. As I understand them, the two main arguments for strikes are: 1) Having set a red line, the credibility of the United States now requires that the Bashar al-Assad regime be punished for crossing it; 2) Military action is necessary to uphold the international norm against chemical weapons and to deter future use.
The first case is fairly easy to dismiss. Supporters of military intervention tend to place a great deal of weight on "credibility," which is almost exclusively defined as "a willingness to bomb something." As this argument goes, the United States needs to use deadly force to maintain its table image, to use a poker term. If we get caught bluffing, other players will be more likely to call or raise us in the future. But there's just not a lot of real-world evidence that one's table image is so easily lost or maintained. As political scientist Jonathan Mercer, author of Reputation and International Politics, wrote in Foreign Affairs in May, it's impossible to know what conclusions America's adversaries will draw from specific action or inaction. "They might think that Obama has no credibility, that he is, in fact, resolute, or that he is driven by other U.S. interests. Whatever conclusion they come to will be driven by their own beliefs and interests."
The second case I take a bit more seriously. Upholding the international norm against chemical weapons is both in the U.S.'s interest and a broader progressive goal, but there's no evidence that that norm will collapse in the absence of strikes against Assad. Last week, Foreign Policy published a piece citing newly declassified CIA documents showing that when Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons in the waning days of the Iran-Iraq war, "America's military and intelligence communities knew about and did nothing to stop a series of nerve gas attacks far more devastating than anything Syria has seen." The fact that Saddam went unpunished for those attacks did not result in a wave of chemical weapons attacks by dictators across the world.
It's worth noting here that, given the prominent role that the memory of Iraqi chemical attacks— and the acquiescence of the international community in those attacks—continues to play in Iranian political discourse, the use of chemical weapons by Iran's client, Syria, has started to exacerbate tensions within the Iranian government. "The moderates seem to be concerned about the use of chemical weapons in Syria and want to distance Iran from this, but the hardliners, especially the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps), don't seem to be taking that line, at least publicly," Meir Javedanfar, an Israeli Iran expert, told me. "So there is a gap in the Iranian leadership, however as the IRGC has a bigger say on Syria, they seem to be winning the day."
As for the idea that strikes would deter further use by Assad himself, it's unlikely that any amount of international punishment would deter Assad from using any means necessary to what he clearly sees as an existential threat. "In Assad's mind, he is fighting, literally, for his life," wrote foreign policy analyst Josh Foust, "so any perceived outcry over using chemical weapons is going to be outweighed by his need for survival."
The benefits of the limited strikes currently being discussed, then, are sketchy at best. The potential costs, however, are considerable. First, there's the possibility that strikes could serve as a rallying cry for the regime, as some rebel commanders fear. "If it's a major strike, we are with it. If it is minor, it won't matter at all," Col. Ahmed Hamada of the Free Syrian Army told the Wall Street Journal's Jay Solomon. "The regime might use the attacks and say: 'we are victims.' They could grow more powerful."
There's the possibility that Assad could retaliate against Israel, as he has threatened to do, either from Syria or via its ally Hezbollah, and to which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has promised to respond, which could quickly spiral into a larger conflict into which the U.S. would undoubtedly be drawn.
Among the most significant consequences is that strikes could dramatically undermine the possibility of an agreement between Iran and the P5+1 (the countries with permanent membership on the UN Security Council, plus Germany) over Iran's nuclear program. Iran's new president, Hassan Rohani, came into office promising to better relations with the international community. A strike against Iran's major ally could empower Iranian hardliners while marginalizing more moderate voices, which is exactly what happened in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, while also raising the perceived value of a nuclear deterrent among Iran's key decision makers, making any nuclear deal significantly more politically costly, perhaps prohibitively, for Rohani and his allies.
This list of costs is by no means an exhaustive one. I haven't even addressed the international legal aspects of a U.S.-led coalition strike on Syria, the constitutional issues at play, the almost non-existent public support for a Syria intervention, or the remaining options for international diplomacy. While I'm not convinced that limited strikes against Syria would result in the U.S. becoming enmeshed in another Iraq-like cataclysm, neither am I convinced that such strikes would make that much of a difference. Putting it simply, I think a responsible progressive position, and, frankly, a sane one, is biased against the use of force, especially in the absence of clearly articulated and achievable goals, which I don't see on offer here.
Wed, 2013-08-28 20:35
Both premises of this article are completely logically flawed.
1. First, this author essentially argues that because "we can't tell what foreign leaders are thinking," there is no reason to presume that the President's credibility (translation: willingness to use force) will influence the decisions of foreign leaders. However, that is a completely circular argument, which assumes its own conclusion. You might as well argue that criminal penalties cannot possibly deter crime because "we don't really know what criminals think." In reality, there is a vast body of evidence not only regarding how criminals think, but also how criminal dictators operate (it's called the entire course of human history). And there are a ton of real-world examples of use of force leading to greater diplomatic leverage -- so long as the use of force is effective. Just look at the way all the neutral states in Europe bent to Hitler's will in 1940-41, after he had demonstrated his willingness to use force time and again (of course, that would be an example of credibility being used for evil). Indeed, focusing just on the recent examples in the Middle East, it could reasonably be argued that Obama's unwillingness to intervene in Syria laid the groundwork for the Egyptian coup. It could just as reasonably be argued that Obama's failure to act when Assad used chemical weapons on a smaller scale led the dictator to use them on a larger scale more recently, because he calculated that Obama would again fail to respond. Lack of credibility is as damaging in international relations as credibility is helpful.
2. After simply assuming his first, flawed conclusion is correct (but citing no evidence), the author next goes on to argue that international punishment will not deter Assad because Assad "is fighting for his survival" and so his need for survival outweighs any possible deterrent effect. But that premise is as logically flawed as the first -- indeed, it is precisely because Assad is fighting for his own survival that it is reasonable to assume he will be desperate to avoid foreign intervention in favor of the rebels. If Obama leads Assad to believe that anytime Assad's regime uses chemical weapons, it will face retaliatory strikes by the U.S. and possibly an armed intervention, then Assad's survival instinct will compel him not to use chemical weapons (despite the tactical and psychological advantage they give him). He will make a cold survival calculation and determine that using chemical weapons decreases his chance of survival.

"...it is precisely because Assad is fighting for his own survival that it is reasonable to assume he will be desperate to avoid foreign intervention in favor of the rebels."
Or Assad could look at it like this: "If I continue to use chemical weapons, the US will TRY to kill me. If I don't continue to use chemical weapons, the opposition eventually will DEFINITELY kill me." His cold survival calculation may be different than the one you ascribe to him.

Wow those pesky WMD's that the Intel and satellite photos showed being moved into Syria just before the UN inspectors went into Iraq comes back to bite Obama and the left in the a**. I guess Bush was right the UN and the left waited till they were moved and then cried "there were no WMDs in Iraq."

Sigh. It is certainly sad to see old and disproven neo-con fairy tales dragged out again. Anyone who actually follows the subject knows 1) that the tale of Iraqi WMD being smuggled into Syria never held water and 2) Syria has a robust chemical weapons production, storage, and employment capability without fictional weapons from Iraq.
That story was always "I know they were here somewhere and I can't find them so they must have been moved to, uh, hum, Syria!"j
Mon, 2014-03-10 07:42
The resolution in favor of American intervention in Syria conceals an agenda for escalation far beyond, as a statement by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Robert Menendez described it, a "narrow" and "focused" US response to the chemical weapons attack on August 21. The American public and Congress are being fooled into a broader effort that looks a lot like war and regime change.
Maybe it's the price the president paid for Senator John McCain's vote. But McCain's amendment, which says, "It is the policy of the United States to change the momentum on the battlefield in Syria as to create favorable conditions for a negotiated settlement," suggests escalation will not be far behind air strikes.
Perhaps regime change is a good idea. But then why not make the argument openly? There can be only one very familiar reason: that if the American people and Congress heard what the war-makers have in store, there would be little chance of approving the marching orders. If public currently opposes the missile strikes, imagine the reaction toward an even wider war. The authorization would be dead on arrival.

Hey Guys,
I've got a Mac Mini 2011 Server sitting here, lovely bit of kit, Core i7, 8GB DDR3, 2 x 500GB Drives.
So I boot into the Internet Recovery software (CMD+R I think) and run Disk Utility and setup the RAID0 and install as normal, but when the Mac Mini reboot's it cannot find the RAID array.
Any ideas on setting this up correctly?
And yes, I know RAID0 is a bad idea for a Production Server, thats why it'll be 'Carbon Copy Cloning' to my Enterprise SAN every few hours.

I spoke to Transworld today and it seems that the short story is only included in the waterstones only gold edition. The element missing from the slipcase edition is in fact a stamp and signature of Terry's.
They are in the process of setting up a hotline for collectors to contact and arrange for there copies to be sent off stamped with the relevant artistry and returned to them thus ensuring that the low numbered editions are sent back to there rightfull owners. It does smack of a rush job to me though.
The only difference between the gold edition and slipcase being a short story in one and gold dust jacket and a slipcase and signature (stamped not personally signed) on the other. Does this justify the £12 price difference i ask myself. Contact local Waterstones for updates on this hotline.
In the meantime i'm buying another slipcase with the signature in place. They have effectively created a stupidly collectable slipcase as the unsigned ones should never have come into existence.

In WordWorld, kids can see the letters in every object! The creators of WordWorld, Don and Jacqueline Moody, created the show in response to a study that discovered that if there are both pictures and words simultaneously on a screen, children will pay more attention to the pictures than they do to the words. Don's response was to build letters into the objects shown in the show. If the characters are discussing something, they will spell out the word. Once they spell out this word, the letters actually change into the object that it spells, with the letters still visible. It's a really unique show that I think your kids will enjoy!
The show is geared towards 3- to 7-year-olds. It premiered on September 3, 2007 on Disney Junior and CBeebies. WordWorld has won an Emmy three times. It currently airs in over 90 countries around the world, and has been translated into more than 12 languages. The show's writers continue to base its curriculum on recommendations from the National Reading Panel and create episodes based upon the needs of children in the age range the show targets. For instance, an episode called "Runaway O" helps children learn the letter "O." Once the children in the show catch the "O," they are able to use it to build the word "BOX."
As many parents can already attest, this is a fun and exciting way for kids to learn letters and words. For even more fun at home, draw a picture of a shoe with your child. Spell the letters S-H-O-E inside of the shoe. Color it, and then hang it on the wall. Just like the WordFriends, you too can help your child build words to save the day!

Introduction to The Fitzwilliam Museum Online CatalogueThe Fitzwilliam Museum is delighted to be able to offer online access to collections information through our Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC).
Image["Supported by the Resource/DCMS Designation Challenge Fund"]
The online catalogue is the 'public window' into the records stored in the Museum's centralised collections management database. The collections management database was adopted in November 1999 as a result of funding from MLA's Designation Challenge Fund. Over 110,000 records are available online and over 38,000 of these records have digital images attached.
A work in progress
The museum has over 500,000 objects in its care. You can read more about the history of the museum and its collections here. Over 120,000 catalogue records have so far been transferred to the centralised collections management database (representing an estimated 20% of the collection). This is on-going work and from time to time the online catalogue is updated to reflect new records and images which have become available.
The records currently available are:
- Antiquities - over 23,000
Arts - over 11,000
(including sculpture, porcelain, pottery, glass, tiles, netsuke, armour, weapons, lacquer boxes, pot-lids and Korean ceramics)
- Coins and Medals - over 24,000
and Printed Books - over 20,000
(including the Linnell Archive)
Drawing and Prints - over 35,000
(all the paintings, most of the drawings and many of the prints)
The Museum's holdings of printed books can be searched online at the University of Cambridge Union Catalogue.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the records are accurate, the level of detail they contain at this stage varies throughout the collection. Also note that the inclusion of a record in the catalogue does not mean they currently are on display in the Museum.
Your views
We would welcome your feedback on the catalogue and its contents.

This little igniter works great to light my alcohol stoves. The recommended approach is to dip it in the alcohol, lift about six inches while holding it down, and click. You then have a match in which to light your alcohol stove. (Tilting the igniter upright after dipping it in the alcohol is not recommended and could lead to injury.) This igniter works even when wet. You can drop it in the river and then pick it up, shake it off, and then light your stove. It makes carrying lighters, waterproof… Full review
Edelrid Valve Cartridge Adaptor
A great gadget that could potoentially save a lot of money with regular use. This is a great idea that could potentially save a lot of money. I scour car boots for unwanted gas cartridges that need to be pierced instead of screwing the stove into a thread. I can pick them up for peanuts. It adds weight and bulk, but it is worth it for the savings I make as it becomes much cheaper to run. It costs around £20 so it may be a while before you get your money back! The only drawback is the rubber ring… Full review
Primus Windscreen
Light, easy to carry wind screen to use with the smaller backpacker stoves that use canister fuel. The picture above isn't the one I'm using, will show a pic below. This is a really nice addition to my cook kit. I actually have two of these, buying the new one recently to go in my girls' kit. I'm trying to teach them to be self sufficient while backpacking, so I've set them up with the Primus ExpressStove set you see in the pics below. I like how this wind screen nests inside the cook kit essentially… Full review
Jetboil Hanging Kit
No more balancing acts. It's nice to be able to hang the stove and not worry about it getting knocked over. I guess you just have to worry about bumping into it. I camp in a lot of areas that are very rocky and not level. This helps a lot. You can cook, stir, pour and even eat out of the cup while its suspended. Durable materials and a compact pack size. I keep mine in the packaging it came in. I find it a big expensive for what it is (like most Jetboil accessories), but it's worth having it. I… Full review
BioLite CampStove Grill
Easy to use but impractical size and weight. Cooks great food, but of its weight and bulkiness it is impractical to go on long hikes and camping trips. It is also hard to cook multiple things because of its small surface area. That being said, however, I love cooking on it and it gives food a taste even charcoal can't produce. Great product.

BioLite CampStove Grill
The grill is a great feature of the Biolite CampStove. It's simple to use once one has learned how to maximize the way the grill works and heats. The grill makes a great base camp/tailgating/car camping grill. The grill is specifically designed to be used with the BioLite CampStove. Once the stove is operating and hot, the grill is a cinch to use. Just place the grill on the stove properly, allow to heat, and grill away. BioLite says that the grill has three zones — high, medium, and low, and… Full review
Evernew Ti DX Stand
Used the Ti DX stand in combination with my Trangia stove and it is a tight but entirely workable fit! The stand was purchased to use with a Trangia stove; not the Everenew Ti stove. I was apprehensive that it might not fit but went for it anyways. It does fit, rides higher than the Evernew in the lower support but still maintains a good distance from the upper pot support. Very happy with fit, finish and weight! Full review
