No - it's literally a "spare" for your network. Basically it comes without _any_ software licenses included, since you've obviously already got them for the device that you're assuming will break.
It's basically for those people that need to replace gear without going through TAC first so your downtime is lowered.

Yeah, basically it's treated as a clone by Cisco, for the purpose of replacing equipment with equipment already on hand rather than suffering from downtime while waiting for replacements. I had to buy two spare OC12 cards at work the other day

Having a spare for important equipment is the best career/business decision you can make. Seriously, I've had people tell me how crucial a specific device is to their network, and with it dead they are losing "millions of dollars", and poo poo hits the fan with their coverage. I won't name names, but this has even happened with city utilities.

I'm trying the whole learn as I go thing. I've got a 2950 sitting on my desk I'm farting around with and I'm getting the error message above on the console. Are the two Gig0/1 ports on different switches all together?

InferiorWang posted:
Yes. Cisco devices typically talk across links using a protocol known as CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) to tell each other their hostnames / ip addresses / settings they're using on the link.
In this case, the switch you are looking it has it's Gi0/1 port set to half-duplex, but the switch on the other side of the link is reporting in it's CDP packets that it has the link set for full-duplex. Check your int Gi0/1 configuration, and remove any commands like half-duplex or switchport nonegotiate.
|# ? May 10, 2007 15:14
Cheers. I checked the Gi0/1 interface and it was set to auto duplex which in turn put it as half duplex.

That's what happens if you connect an auto-duplex port to a full-duplex one. Since it can't autonegotiate, it goes to half-duplex, and you get a shitload of unnecessary duplex collisions (because the other end still sends as if it were full duplex).

I still can't believe how horribly unreliable autonegotiation Cisco-to-Cisco is. It's crazy that in this day and age we still have to go through and manually force speed/duplex on ports to stop Cisco gear from doing something stupid.
vvv You've probably never had the fun of using a 7200 with an IO-FE or PA-FE-TX, they're both absolutely terrible at autonego, I didn't even bother letting them autonego after the first one I had to turn up.

I had a 7507 with a fast ethernet controller on it, but it was about 6 years ago, couldn't for the life of me remember what type it was. I do remember I had 2-100mbit connections trunked to the router with autoneg on the link speed/duplex but once again, not sure on the actual card. I guess it's a mileage may vary thing there.

I work in a Cisco SP Lab. It's been my experience that if both sides are set to Auto-neg, than there is no problem. However if one side is set to half-duplex, or it can only do half-duplex like on a FastHub 400 or something, then auto negotiate won't work. So normally for our default configs we set all interfaces to full-duplex, and there isn't a problem.

I'm having some trouble with my PIX501, v6.3(5). We have a pretty small office here where I work and we use the pix501 as an outside router.
It is a pretty simple config with the outside interface of the pix configured with our static IP from our ISP. The inside interface is 192.168.10.254, with our internal server that handles everything being 192.168.10.1
My problem is that we want people to be able to be able to be remote clients using pptp vpn dialin. I have everything configured so a client from the outside can dial in and connect no problem. Dialin users are given an ip from the pool of 192.168.5.10-192.168.5.25
The problem is, even though they can connect no problem, they can't go anywhere from there, cannot connect to our internal server(192.168.10.1) or anything.
I have tried a few things with access lists but I must be missing something easy I think.

Give your remote clients addresses on your same subnet instead of 192.168.5 addresses.
Also PIXs often have alot of NAT-traversal issues, especially when you have clients behind a different PIX connecting into your pix. If you add this command to your config it will resolve those issues.

Isn't autonegotiation required for 1000base-t? I know you can force it off on fiber interfaces, but I don't think I can turn down autonegotiation on my X6548-GE-TX modules.
edit: I think I'm wrong about the module. I seem to remember there was something out there that would only take a 'speed auto', but now I can't figure out what it was.

1000baseT always requires autonegotiation to work properly. If you have auto on one side, and something else on the other, you usually end up with the AUTO side negotiating to 100/half. This has been my experience with PIXs, 4948s, 6509s, and 7604s.

I have a SoHo 97 with the god awful web admin. I have limited experience with cisco gear but basically just want to get it to do is work as a Ethernet ADSL modem to replace my linksys wireless router that is doing that at the moment.
I have an 8 IP block so would like to set it to unnumbered, my setup is as follows
Internet <---> CISCO GOES HERE <--> IP Cop Box <--> Rest Of Network
Currently a linksys modem/router/wirless bit of kit is sitting where the SOHO 97 would go, it is doing the job fine but it's a little overkill and has most of its features turned off.
This may be a little rambly and hard to understand but hope I have got the details across.
I have a basic understanding of the cicso config files and I can Hyperteminal into the unit etc.
Any tips etc would be fantastic (Or a config example of how to do this)
Oh also is the SOHO 97 ok on 8Meg ADSL (ADSL Max In The UK)

Ok when you say you want IP unnumbered you want your block of 8 public IP addresses to be where?
Would the outside interface of the IP Cop Box hold some/all of the public ip addresses? If so then you just want to bridge the DSL interface to the ethernet interface and then let IP run on the IP Cop Box.
Here's an example of a SOHO97 with bridging, for Verizon DSL (ISP settings may vary). You will need the DSL specific information as well. (e.g. pvc 0/35)
Disclaimer: Hand typed it, don't have a config handy as I am running IP on my DSL interface.
What the above will do (sans mistakes/syntax) is bridge the DSL circuit to the front of the IP Cop Box so to speak, transparently providing the first useable IP address to a device behind the soho97 router.
Good luck, any specifics just ask away, should be able to get you up.
I have used a SOHO97 bridged and running IP on an ATM subinterface for what its worth.

How about some theory?
Lets say you have a stack of 2950s. They are all layer2. You want vlan2 to attach to some public kiosks for example. To be able to have those vlans extend beyond each device, you would want them trunked, correct?
2950 -trunk- 2950 -trunk- 2950
To further that, you have an http proxy server attached to vlan1. To be able to access that proxy server so your kiosks can have net access, you would then want that trunk to extend to a router which will have 2 interface cards? One on a vlan1 switchport, and one on a vlan2 switchport? And then from there, you can use ACLs to let only ports 80/8080 route through?
Do I have that all right or am I missing something?
|# ? May 11, 2007 19:49
Chassis and NPE is still worth a good chunk of change; I think the company is going to try and sell it. If they are planning on tossing it, and for some reason nobody gets their paws on it first, I'll keep an eye on it for you.
karttoon posted:

Yes, at least, that's one way of doing it. You're better off with a hierarchical distribution than a daisy-chain, but yes. Alternatively, you could look at something like qinq to extend vlan2 over a another switched backbone, or l2tpv3 to extend vlan2 over an IP backbone, or VPLS to extend vlan2 over an MPLS backbone.
InferiorWang posted:
You could instead present an 802.1q trunk to the router device that carries both vlan1 and vlan2, and configure dot1q subinterfaces, if you're trying to cut down on interface consumption.

Arguably, a better idea would be to invest in a layer-3 switch, and apply access-lists to layer-3 SVI's, or use vacls.

Generally, yes. If tends to be easier to manage, and results in a more predictable point of congestion. The ability to then solve bandwidth problems from access switch distribution/core switch by use of etherchannel is compelling. It really depends on how much traffic you're doing, and whether you intend to build distribution/core redundancy. Like anything else, I guess it depends on what you want to do, but I'd bet that the SH/SC cisco crowd consensus would be for a hierarchical switching infrastructure. If cost is prohibitive due to long-distance leased fiber, for instance, you may want to instead buy layer-3 switches and move to an IP model.
If you do daisy-chain, be aware that you shouldn't expand wider than seven devices (switches, spanning-tree aware bridges, etc) and also use spanning tree. Spanning-tree will flip out on you.

Money is always an issue, but only in terms of getting proper gear. I desperately need servers and we still run old cabletron chassis switches circa 1997 which need to be replaced. That continues to fall on deaf ears, but I guess that's a whole different thread!
We're pretty well sorted with cabling and we have our electrician who can pull cable anywhere it's physically possible. His only limitation is tipping fiber.
After reading your post, I'm wondering what the hell the designers of the network in our new K-5 school were thinking. They ran more cable in that building than we'll ever really need. But, they ran it to areas where we don't need it. There's no reason why they couldn't pull more fiber to the IDFs. Each closet has a 3650 for POE VOIP, and below that are 3-5 daisy chained 2950s. In hindsight, there's no need to daisy chain them when you're building brand new.

I'm reworking our qos framework for low-speed branch sites, and as part of the process, I've started second guessing myself about the recommended application of service-policies on frame-relay interfaces.
If you go back to about 2002-2003, it looks like the recommendations was frame-relay traffic shaping and frame-relay map-classes, after which the recommendation was a nested hierarchical policy-map. Ok, I have nested hierarchical policy-maps configured already, no big deal.
But, literature from 2005 lists best-practices as frame-relay traffic shaping! I thought MQC got rid of all that garbage?
Truth is, I don't really care where I put the policy-map, but I do want to know recommendation is. Because it's GTS and CBWFQ in a nested policy-map, I'm inclined to think I'm correct in applying this to the sub-interface, but now I'm having serious doubts.

Herv posted:
That's normal; or at least, that might be normal. If you nest the cbwfq policy-map under a generic traffic shaping (GTS) policy-map, it'd probably let you apply it.
Funny aside, while it will work for frame-relay sub-interfaces, it won't work for ATM pvc's, because they shape natively, and it won't let you do it. But, cbwfq can be applied directly to an ATM pvc.
Good times.

If you're stuck on 6.x, you'll need to look into setting the levels of the messages you're trying to pick out, then setting the pix to only send messages of that severity or higher, which might help your signal-to-noise.
If that doesn't help you could look at moving to another syslog server like syslog-ng which has built in filtering capabilities so you could direct your 'interesting' logs to a special log file. If you feel like really going over the top you could then setup SEC (Simple Event Correlator) to watch that log file and take actions on the messages, like warning you if someone fails to log in too many times.
Another alternative if you have the hardware, and can get the software, to do it would be to upgrade to 7.x and use the built in message list filter feature.
As far as logging CPU/Memory, I'd have to recommend setting up cacti on a Linux host somewhere on your network and using that to graph the CPU/Mem/Interface Traffic OIDs.

Cisco goons, you're my only hope (although I've been thinking of typing this up on c-nsp, but it'd probably degenerate into a 6500/7600 whine). All of this (mostly) takes place inside a single facility, the few services that extend outside the facility are not of a big concern / are another topic entirely. I really wish layer2 production networks wouldn't leave the building but that isn't too feasible, yet.
My datacenter, over the past few months, has had a couple of service affecting issues, some of them out of our control (UPS failure), some of them our direct fault (accidental spanning-tree loops (thanks portfast) which freaked the hell out of the core network- plugging new switches into the core at 4pm is a bad thing). Due to various reasons, our network is a mixture of relatively old (3500XL access switches), and relatively new (3750 stacks for distribution, 2950G access switches on newer rows) gear, due to this we're somewhat limited in recovery time due to being stuck on PVST for the legacy equipment. Waiting 40 seconds for spanning tree to reconverge because a gig link dropped, really, really sucks. Doubly so because we have over the last year started offering more products, namely voice (as SIP out of our softswitch). And people really hate it when they pick up the phone and get a fast busy. Thankfully we've been able to provide decent QoS inside our network for the voice so people don't have quality issues, mls qos on xx50 series switches is pretty great, as is CoS based priority queuing in the 12k platform. Ideally I would like to completely eliminate reconvergence times after link failures, a lofty goal but I think we can get pretty close.
Because of the issues, and the pressure placed on us by the customers, we've been looking at what we do in our network, and what our options are going forward (we're just about to start building out the 'second phase' of our existing space- a good a time as any to decide what you want to do for the next 2 years right?).
Currently, we run fairly large layer2 domains, with layer3 terminating at our 2 'cluster'/'distribution' stacks (A & B), consisting of 3750G-24T's and 3750G-12S's. We have 2 /24 colo customer VLANs which span pretty much all of our access switches in production (7 I think at last count), 1 per row of cabinets- end of row switching. The distribution switches talk OSPF with our customer access routers (t1/ds3/oc3/external ethernet aggregation), and core routers, giving them knowledge of all our internal customer prefixes and enabling fairly optimal routing in the distribution-access layers. Since they're 3750 stacks though, they have a snowball's chance in hell of doing anything decent BGP wise to get them to make smart routing decisions at distribution, so I get all sorts of fun crap like packets coming up from a customer, up to 1 of my cores, back down through distribution and up to the other core- this is happening because the distribution switches have a default pointed up to an HSRP between the 2 core routers (12008s), so if the destination isn't bestpath in the router it ends up in, across it goes!
So far, this has worked fairly well (up until a few months ago), and is a hell of a lot better than what we had a few years ago before we rebuilt during a move into our new facility, but this poo poo with spanning tree has got to stop, we can't be sitting with our thumbs up our asses waiting for the network to reconverge.
So enough with the problem, my main point here is to present my solution (which I and my direct report both really like- but we still have to sell to management and his direct report), and see if anyone here can provide me some "hey did you think of X" or "I tried this and this really bad thing happened".
This new design is heavily influenced by a Cisco implementation document- High Availability Campus Network Design� Routed Access Layer using EIGRP or OSPF.
My Goals:
- First a simple/sample diagram, all links here are point-to-point layer3 links. Currently addressed using /30s but I'm considering using /31s to converse address space.
- Get rid of spanning tree. How? Everything coming out of the distribution switches (pondering between 6509/Sup720 and 7609/RSP720 for this- arguments for/against these would also be welcome) is a layer 3 link, layer 3 links up to the core routers. layer 3 links down to the customer access routers. layer 3 links down to the access/aggregation switches. layer 3 links 'across' to my existing distribution switches to get the legacy network uplinked through the new network.
- To accomodate getting rid of spanning tree, I want to move the layer3 termination down into the customer access switch (probably using 3560s). 2 routed uplinks, 1 to each distribution switch. Then a handful of SVI's with /28s or /29s serving a handful of customers. These switches will participate in the OSPF loopback program, and limited iBGP as listed below. Spanning tree will be turned off on the customer aggregation SVIs. To try to prevent things from breaking we'll try to implement as much layer2 security as possible:
-- Turn on portfast
-- Set portfast bpduguard (shut your port off if you plug a switch in- I really hate it when people try to take my layer2 network out of the building)
-- port security max-mac-count 1
-- switchport protected (just started considering this one tonight, by doing this and local-proxy-arp on my SVI I can stop the customers from talking directly to each other, and force all traffic to be processed and policed by the switch).
- Reduce OSPF database size to get rapid OSPF convergence. Currently my OSPF database probably has ~3k routes in it. This kind of hurts on my slower processors like the GRP-B's in my GSRs. My plan to address this is to reduce OSPF to carry loopbacks only, then exchange customer prefixes via BGP only.
--'Load Balancing' and failover between layer3 links will be handled natively via OSPF equal cost multipath. Since everything will have 2 layer3 links, every device should, under normal conditions, have 2 equal cost paths to reach any other loopback in the network. So long as I don't lose both links, my iBGP sessions should never drop.
--The distribution switches will essentially act as route reflectors, cores peer with distribution, distribution peers with customer access routers (also 12008s).
--My internal networks will probably be originated and 'pulled up' in the distribution switches, thus letting me simplify my routing tables at the core and customer access routers by only advertising aggregate prefixes to them instead of everything.
--The new colo access switches will participate in limited iBGP with the distribution switches, the distribution switches will originate a default, and only a default, down to the access switches (to keep the routing table nice and simple) - I am also debating maybe doing the default in OSPF if I can figure out why it's not working out in my lab using stub areas. The colo access switches will advertise their SVI /28s and /29s as well as any subnets routed to customers, via BGP. While moving this functionality to iBGP instead of a traditional IGP will result in a 1 minute delay in the routes getting into the distribution table, I feel this is an acceptable delay since it is only once off (when the switch reloads), and it gains faster OSPF convergence which gets my ECMP back faster.
- All internet traffic in the access/distribution switches will be in an internet VRF (vrf-lite in all the switches basically). This is mainly a management thing- I plan to use the main routing table for management access only- haul a single eth from every switch back to an isolated switch for a new management network. So I can actually get into the switches over ssh/telnet when the poo poo hits the fan. Part of this project will also be making sure we have working consoles in case that switch fails *grumble*. This introduces somewhat of a learning curve (remembering to type 'vrf internet' all the time), but I feel the management advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
- OSPF is optimized as described in the Cisco doc above (200ms hellos for fast failure detection- in the future we will probably also look at doing BDF if the 3560 ever supports it), in addition to ispf to speed up spf calculations.
- A major design goal is to keep customers out of the drat core/distribution layers (hey you kids, get off my lawn). We've been pretty poor about this up until this point, we have a couple of customers taking gig (copper mainly) out of distribution, and we tend to (ab)use the network for our own purposes too. Need to get 20 VLANs to an ESX box? Plug it into distribution! We also carry some of our internal network traffic (ugh) over VLANs in distribution. But that's another project.
All of this up to this point seems to work fairly well in the lab. I get pretty much unnoticeable fail over (after a few tweaks) with my stack of 3550s (Core, DistA, DistB, Access). Running an Asterisk Echo Test with music playing into it results in pretty much uninterrupted music unless I do something terrible like pull out both gig links to the core or access. Reloading and hard powering down switches you're hard pressed to even hear a blip.
I've come across a couple of problems, the biggest one was resulting from a distribution switch reboot and ECMP. Basically since OSPF comes up faster than BGP, my core was sending traffic for an access switch down to DistA, which didn't know how to handle it, so it sent it back up to the Core, back down to DistA etc. I managed to resolve this by adding a high metric static in each of the distribution switches, pointing to each other over the link between them. This way when a switch is still 'becoming active' after a reload, it will continue to pass traffic across to the other distribution switch which is still up, which will be able to forward the traffic as normal.
My full table BGP customers I can continue to serve out of my customer access routers like I do now. I'll probably hang a dedicated switch off each of those GigE interfaces just for that, and keep them isolated from the distribution/core. There was a proposal to perhaps hang some these customers off 10/100/1000 aggregation switches, terminate L3 in the agg switch then have them to eBGP multihop to the distribution switches but this bugs me in 2 ways.
-- we need to redistribute the customer's routes down to that agg switch via BGP. So if they drop their session it'll be 2+ minutes until the path back to them is good.
-- Customers in distribution, get off my lawn.
We do have some colocation customers who do HSRP with us for failover on our and their equipment, to continue to offer this I came up with the following solution:
-- The customer will 'purchase' 4 switchports (in 2 adjacent switches), and a dedicated SVI/VLAN in 2 switches. 1 port out of each switch will go to the customer, the other 2 ports will be a dedicated 'tie' link to connect the 2 islands. Since I don't have any trunks up to the core this is the best I can think of, plus it gives the customer a dedicated link at their purchased speed to carry traffic which comes in over the secondary switch in the unlikely event that we lose all uplink on their primary switch.
I'm sure there's more but this is starting to look like a pretty huge wall of text and it's getting late, if it helps I may have some Visio diagrams to look at tomorrow depending on if I'm motivated enough to work on them.

Communication is part of everyday life and therefore, very important, but too often the experience of communication has become ordinary. Within the communication studies major, our goal is to have students recognize the means of communication as extraordinary gifts as those students become extraordinary communicators. The major teaches through the study of communication theory and the practice of performance, enabling students to succeed in a variety of professions. Topics of particular focus include business, speech/rhetoric, and theater.
The goals of this major were developed using as a template goals formulated at the Hope University Conference (July 2000), which convened specifically to articulate an ideal communication studies curriculum. The Hope University Conference asserts that "an undergraduate degree in communication should educate individuals to be capable of assessing situations and crafting appropriate communicative response to interact effectively with diverse others and to participate as socially responsible members of their increasingly mediated and complex communities." The Judson University program adds to that Biblically-based values and precepts.

Covenant Discipleship Parents' Handbook
By Richard L. Burguet and J.E. Eubanks, Jr.
Covenant Discipleship is an alternative to the traditional age-based Communicant's Class, offering Reformed and Presbyterian churches of any size a way to bring students into the church as communing members when the students are ready. Covenant Discipleship gives the oversight of teaching the essence of church membership back to parents, providing them with the tools and resources to guide their students through the process of learning about the essentials of the faith, the importance of church membership, and the core values and theology of a Reformed and Presbyterian church.
The Covenant Discipleship Parents' Handbook is the parent half of the material; churches will want to provide a copy of the Covenant Discipleship Student's Workbook to each participating student as well.

Covenant Discipleship Student's Workbook
By Richard L. Burguet and J.E. Eubanks, Jr.
Covenant Discipleship is an alternative to traditional age-based communicant's classes. Covenant Discipleship gives the nurture and discipleship of a child or student back to the parents, empowering them to help their child to discern whether they are ready to unite with Christ's church.
Covenant Discipleship is an appropriate tool for students of many ages, beginning in elementary school and ranging through the teenage years. As such, it frees a church predefined age-based judgment of when a covenant child is ready to be admitted to the sacramental table. Because of its home-based, parent-taught structure, it also frees a church from running multiple communicant's classes for different ages.
The Covenant Discipleship Student's Workbook is the student half of the material; churches will want to provide a copy of the Covenant Discipleship Parents' Handbook to each participating family as well.

The Maryland football team added a monster to its defensive line when Frankenshaw committed to the program Monday morning.
David Shaw, as he's more commonly known, a junior from Spring Grove, Pa., is the fourth commit in the Terps' 2014 class and the first defensive recruit in the class.
The 6-foot-6, 275 pound defensive lineman brings a combination of speed and strength to the line in addition to his work ethic. Shaw's nickname, Frankenshaw, came about when Spring Grove assistant Greg Bowman watched Shaw do a drill called "Frankensteins," where he lifted one leg forward, touched his toes and switched to the other leg.

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) -- There is a certain connection members of the military share. But what some World War II veterans went through on December 7, 1941, nothing can compare.
"There was an explosion outside my window," explained Jay C. Groff, Jr. of Virginia.
Groff was stationed at Pearl Harbor 75 years ago. He was lying in bed when the Japanese attacked. He ran to a ball field to set up machine guns when two Japanese planes flew overhead.
"I picked up a rock and threw it at one of them. It didn't do any good, but it made me feel a lot better," said Groff.
"You were trained to do a job, and I was trying to do that job," said Harold Mainer of Arkansas.
Mainer was on the U.S.S. Helena and was supposed to head to shore to meet with friends. Instead, he spent the day trying to stay alive.
"That guy over there, he's fighting to save his life and yours too. That's what we were thinking about – trying to take care of each other," he explained.
These Pearl Harbor survivors, and other veterans, were honored Wednesday at a ceremony at the National World War II Memorial.
The memorial is just one place visitors to our nation's capital can go to remember the Pearl Harbor attack. Artifacts big and small from that fateful day are on display throughout the Smithsonian Institution.
The Japanese fighter planes were called "Zeros." One of them is one display at the Air and Space Museum.
At the National Postal Museum, the artifacts in its collection are frozen in time. They include a stamp from the mailroom of the U.S.S. Oklahoma never made it past December 6th. There's also a letter from Marine John Rion to his business partner in Perry, Iowa. It is postmarked at 8 a.m. December 7th, just as the attack began.
On this 75th anniversary of that date that will live in infamy, Mainer and Groff explained why it's so important Americans stop to remember Pearl Harbor.
"So it won't happen again," said Mainer.
"Stay alert. Stay alert," said Groff.

Welcome to The Modernist Archives Publishing Project.
Why MAPP?
We all know that books tell stories, but what about the stories not so often told about books: how they are made, designed, published, distributed, marketed, and read? Where are those stories and why are they meaningful?
What is MAPP?
The Modernist Archives Publishing Project (MAPP) is a critical digital archive of early twentieth-century publishing history. The goal of this site is to display, curate, and describe the documents that go into the making of a book.
The MAPP collection is growing all the time and contains thousands of images from archives and special collections relating to Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press including: letters, dust jackets, financial records, paper samples, illustrations, sketches, production sheets, and ephemera. These newly digitized materials come with peer-reviewed summaries, biographies, bibliographical information, and other scholarly materials.
The Hogarth Press
Phase I of MAPP focuses on the Hogarth Press, Virginia and Leonard Woolf's private publishing firm. MAPP launched at the International Virginia Woolf conference at the University Reading in June 2017. Founded in 1917, the Hogarth Press was Woolf's sole publisher after 1919, but also a central hub for many diverse artists, writers, politicians, and cultural movers during the interwar years. Read more about the Hogarth Press.
Navigating the Site
To get started, we recommend you begin with the "Browse" tab, which will take you into the collections, where you will find information about Presses, about Authors, and about Works. If you know of a specific author, publisher, or text you'd like to look for, you can also "Search" the collections.
The Long Story of MAPP
MAPP has been created by a collaborative international Digital Humanities team working to better understand the history of publishing in the twentieth century. For more on our methodology, our teaching, and our theoretical foundations, please check out our new academic book: Scholarly Adventures in Digital Humanities: Making the Modernist Publishing Project, which details the origins of our collaborations; our thinking about how to wed humanistic theory with digital practice; and the pedagogical, public intellectual, and scholarly aspirations of MAPP.
Submissions and Corrections
We invite your collaboration and contribution. Do you work on a modernist publisher? Do you collect Hogarth Press books? Do you have biographical information about Hogarth Press authors, readers or workers? Would you like to write a credited entry for the site? Have you used or would you like to use MAPP in the classroom? We would love to hear from you. Please fill out the contact form and a team member will get back to you. Please also feel free to send us any corrections (small or large!), suggestions, or requests and we will do our best to address them.
The Future
After the launch of the Hogarth Press resource, MAPP will begin Phase II: using the architecture developed and tested on the Hogarth Press materials, we will create resources for a variety of different publishers in order to restore the unwritten histories of twentieth-century publishing culture.

Residents of Tennessee will be pleased to know that they can legally get payday loans in their state. Here at Payday Today, we offer great payday loans. The application only takes a minute or two to fill out, so why not get started now?
Apply for a Tennessee Payday Loan >>
Payday loans are designed to help people in a temporary economic pinch. If you're worried about a check bouncing before your next payday and don't have enough in your savings to cover it, a payday loan can be an effective solution. However, when used as a long term solution, payday loan can create more problems than they solve. If you are in a serious financial predicament, consider our credit cards, personal loans, debt consolidation, and credit counseling before you jump into a payday loan.
Tennessee has legalized the practice of payday lending, but has created laws to regulate the industry. Like most other states, the maximum loan term a borrower may have in the state is thirty-one days. Loans may not exceed $500 per check. The wording in this law creates loopholes. If the specification is per check, then the borrower has room to have multiple payday loans from different lenders at a time. The lender may charge a $15 fee per check, or charge $17.65 per every $100 loaned, whichever is greater. The effective APR averages out to be about 459% per loan.

Tennessee is swarming with payday lending location. It ranked second (after California) as the state with the most lending locations in the nation. There are at least 1,344 locations in the state, but most likely more, given the exponential rate at which the industry is growing.
According to the united States Department of Labor:
The unemployment rate in Tennessee was 5.7 in January 2006. This figure indicates that there were 164,542 people unemployed in the state at that time. In January 2005, the unemployment rate was a little higher at 6.3. Over the past ten years, the unemployment rate has not moved higher 6.3 than or lower than 3.5.

This is how coach Jim Tressel will look at this game right now:
Three trips to the red zone, three field goals.
That's not good enough. Granted, two of those drives were with backups in -- Joe Bauserman got a series just now, as well.
But coaches love having something to harp on, no matter how big a blowout, and they already have enough ammunition for the week.
Boeckman is back in. I expect he'll play the rest of the second quarter and maybe open the third. If it's a big lead, we'll see the backups again after that.

Franz (Peter) SchubertAustrian
In his short life, Viennese-born composer Franz Schubert made significant contributions to orchestral, chamber and piano music that were to influence generations of composers. His most telling contribution, however, was probably in the field of German art-song or Lied, of which he composed more than 600 examples.
Born the son of a music-loving schoolteacher on 31 January 1797, Schubert received his first piano lessons from his older brother, Ignaz and his first violin lessons from his father. He began composing his first songs and string quartets soon after. Early training with Salieri and a solid education at the Imperial and Royal City College, where he met lifelong friend Josef von Spaum, followed.
In 1813 Schubert began to train as a teacher and in 1814 he became an assistant to his father. Throughout this time, he continued to compose prolifically, writing 150 songs alone in his eighteenth year. Having failed to win the post of music teacher at the teachers' training college in Laibach, he became dissatisfied with his vocation and in 1816 refused to return to his father's school.
Schubert never married, but it's possible that he was in love with Theresa Grob, a young soprano, and his application for the Laibach post was a precursor to a proposed union. In any case, he failed to win the post and renounced the possibility of marriage soon after.
Although by this time the young Schubert had written over 300 songs, 5 symphonies, 4 masses and 7 string quartets, there had still not been a single public performance of his music in Vienna. In 1818 this started to change, transforming Schubert's fortunes and finances.
By 1821, Schubert had been tutor to the Esterházy children at Zselitz, had found brief employment as a répétiteur at the Hofoper, and had seen many of his works performed and published. In January of 1821, the first documented Schubertiad, a gathering of Schubert's friends at which the composer would play his latest works, took place.
1822 was another highly creative year during which Schubert earned enormous sums from his frequent publications. However, in order to maintain his prolific output of music, the composer lived an intense, bohemian lifestyle: writing solidly from 6 am to 1pm everyday, he would eat unhealthily, drink and smoke prodigiously, and engage in sexual excesses. In early 1823, Schubert contracted syphilis and for the next six years suffered from the symptoms that would eventually lead to his death.
Despite his illness, the pace and quality of his musical productions continued unabated. 1824 saw a return to Zselitz, possibly because he was in love with Caroline Esterházy, and the summer of 1825 saw Schubert accompany Vogl on an extended trip around Austria. Coming in the middle of a prolonged symptom-free period of good health that lasted until July 1826, this was undoubtedly the happiest time of Schubert's life and produced the Great Symphony No. 9 in C major.
The remaining three years of Schubert's life would see a down-turn in the composer's health, fortunes and finances. On 28 January 1828 the last Schubertiad took place and in March, the composer felt confident enough to present a grand concert of his works. Despite netting Schubert a great deal of money, the proceeds seem to have slipped through his fingers.
Now suffering badly from the symptoms of syphilis, Schubert moved in with his brother Ferdinand in September 1828, but the damp air of his house only compounded the illness. Still, Schubert kept up the pace of his composition, completing his great song-cycle, Schwanengesang. On 19 November, Schubert died, probably from the advanced state of his illness.
Although between 1821 and 1828, over 100 opuses had been published, less than a quarter of Schubert's total output was published during his lifetime. Of those works that were, more than two thirds were songs; the famous Unfinished Symphony, for example, was not performed until 1865.
Yet Schubert's influence on the remainder of the 19th century was immense and arguably rivalled or exceeded that of Beethoven. Based on the traditions of the Viennese Classicism of Mozart, Haydn and early Beethoven, he developed his own uniquely expressive style, particularly suited to song, but equally effective in instrumental works.
His works were catalogued by O E Deutsch in 1951 and are therefore prefixed with the letter D.

© 2018 Parkhurst Dining Services, Inc. All Rights Reserved
As a board member for the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA), Jamie Moore, director of sourcing and sustainability for Eat'n Park Hospitality Group, which owns Parkhurst Dining Services and Cura Hospitality, had tried to get a class that connected farmers to chefs for PASA's conference for three years. He finally took matters into his own hands and created the class himself for this year's conference, which was held earlier this month. Moore spoke to FSD about creating the curriculum and what the chefs took away from the experience.
How did you get involved with the conference?
I serve on the board of directors for PASA. PASA's goal is to provide education to farmers that want to convert to more sustainable practices. One of the things that I noticed when going to the conferences and being active with them was that they had farmers, but they didn't have eaters. Here we were teaching all these farmers about how to be more sustainable in their practices, but we forgot about the eaters. I really felt it was important to incorporate the folks who were preparing the food. We wanted to get the chefs to understand a little bit more about what makes the farmers tick and why they are growing food more sustainable. Why they are raising beef on pasture? What does this all mean? We really wanted to give a good sense of an education to the people who are preparing it.
How did the creation of the class come about?
I had been pitching it to the board for about three years, and every year it was, "we don't have the time or commitment to do it this year." Finally, this year, I just did it myself. I felt that it was needed. We took it to the next level and ended up bringing in some additional chefs from all over the state. We had 60 slots that we filled and we had a waiting list of 10 people. If we would have marketed it even more I think we would have had no problem filling up 200 slots.
What did the class cover?
The class was for two days. We started with a visit to the Penn State meat lab and we broke down a lamb and a hog. Basically, we learned the different cuts you are getting from those animals and how they can be utilized. If you were to purchase an entire animal, how would you use it on your menu? The second session was a mini food show. We had some local cheese producers and other local businesses and the attendees had the chance to sample the items. We had some folks that were making their own charcuterie, so the attendees got to try some different lunchmeats and cured meats. That was a lot of fun. I think a lot of folks who attended made some connections there and will continue to buy from these folks.
The second day we ended up having a discussion with a farmer who was raising grass-fed beef. We got a really good sense of what makes his beef different than conventional beef. Why would I purchase something that is more expensive as a chef and menu it without getting much of a difference? We talked about the different inputs that are required to raise conventional beef compared with pastured. With pasturing we don't have to do much. We allow the animal to eat the grass that is grown. We're not relying on an intensive crop like corn to raise this animal. Yes, it does take longer to raise, but it's certainly much more sustainable. It was a good education for the chefs to think, "OK, if I'm going to menu this item then why is my customer going to pay more for it? How can I menu it?" So then we went into a menuing class where we talked about how to market local and sustainable ingredients on the menu. Now that you are convinced that this is a better thing to buy, why and how am I going to menu it? How am I going to feature it to get that customer who is walking through the door and is used to a certain price but is now going to pay a little more? I wouldn't say that was the most difficult section to educate the chefs about, but it was the most challenging because it ultimately is more expensive and it's going to be a little bit more difficult to menu that item, but we think it's worth it.
What were some of you biggest challenges in creating the class?
Getting the chefs to get on a conference call. [Laughs] Honestly, the biggest challenge was trying to find the curriculum I wanted to get across. I think we can do a better job next year. The feedback we got was very positive, but I heard from the chefs that they wanted the class to be a little bit more hands on. You have to remember who we are teaching. If we were teaching a bunch of teachers then I think lectures would be fine. However, I'm teaching a bunch of chefs who want to have their hands into the mix. They also wanted more networking opportunities.
One of the biggest trends we are starting to see is connecting farms and chefs. How do we get farms or growing areas aligned with restaurants or dining centers. We are starting to see a lot more chefs growing their own food to make them different from other locations. There was a specific chef who talked about that who had a farmer come in and farm his land in the back of his restaurant. We think that model is something we are going to see a lot more of. I think we can have an educational class about how to start a backyard garden.
What advice would you give to other operators who may want to do something similar?
I think my recommendation would be to get a farmer involved from the beginning. I relied on farmers to give me feedback on experiences they had dealing with chefs. There is a lot of terminology out there so even the chefs don't always know what they are getting. Finding out the farmers' and chefs' challenges and teaching them how to communicate with each other is a big issue. I think it's also important to get a farmer who is already selling to the foodservice industry. There is a big difference between a farmer who sells to a farmers' market and one who sells to foodservice operations.

When I started reading ANSFG, I couldn't put it down. I read it cover-to-cover. The way the author presents the material makes this "how to" book actually fun to read! Everything in the book - from the size of the boxes, to the Mel's Mix ("homemade" potting soil), and even the number of plants to plant per square foot - it all works! I love seeing the look on the faces of the "disbelievers" when they first see my garden! Currently, I have 23 different vegetables growing and I am thinking about building another box...thanks to this book, I've become addicted to gardening!

August 2010 Through Sept 2010 -- I was intrigued so bought the book. This book has been my constant companion. One month down and made a 4 by 8 ft. garden containing 81 plants. With removable cage over the top to keep my barn cats and wild critters out. Bottom was lined with 1 inch chicken wire to keep out the little digging critters too. I am already thrilled so far with the results with my fall veggies. The worms are there to be picked off, thats ok I want this to be all organic. The "soil" mix that mel has you make yourself seems to be perfect for the plants. Cannot believe this raised bed, intense crop gardening concept has been around for 30 years and I just found out?? I am thrilled to sit on my little foot stool and garden. My lower back loves this method. My garden looks like I am a gardener who knows what she is doing ! I want to build more boxes for the spring. And add boxes on a sharp slope with the drainage bottoms that mel describles in his book, and support the "low" end of box with cinder blocks to keep box horizontal, I can still sit and garden. I hope some people will get curious and see this book to simplify and enjoy their garden experience!!! !!!

The ANSFG book is published by Cool Springs Press and the softcover edition has ISBN 1-59186-202-7. It is better organized and more accessible to the new gardener than his previous version. Some of the new advice sounds radical (no fertilizer, only 6" deep soil mix) but he evidently has the pictures and experience to back him up, so I'm going to try a 4x4' test patch this year.

Taming oceans of data with new visualization techniques
The global ocean is the Earth's heating and cooling system, pushing balmy tropical waters toward the poles and bringing back colder, nutrient-rich waters. But modeling this system is extremely complex, resulting in billions of data points.
To tackle the complexity, researchers at three Princeton-area institutions have transformed complex modeling data into an easily understandable animated movie showing how ocean temperatures and saltiness change over time. The animation could help climate researchers explore how factors such as rising carbon dioxide levels alter the ocean's ability to transport heat.
The animation illustrates the power of visualization techniques for presenting complex data in ways that are readily understandable, said Eliot Feibush, leader of the Princeton Visualization Consortium, which brings together researchers from the University's Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE), the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), and the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL).
"People are working with increasing amounts of data in all areas of science, and they need better ways to evaluate their results," said Feibush, who divides his time between PPPL and PICSciE. "The techniques we developed are being applied to climate modeling but the methods can be used for other complex data sets that change over time," he said.
Data visualization techniques make it easier to comprehend information, spot trends and even identify mistakes, Feibush said. "Visualization helps us to understand complexity — it is more than just a pretty picture."
The PICSciE Visualization Lab will host an open house at 3:30 p.m. Jan. 12, in Room 347 of the Lewis Library.
Matthew Harrison, a climate scientist at GFDL, worked with Feibush to adapt results of climate models into formats that could be used to generate the animation.
Climate models are computer programs that combine real-world observations of temperature, salinity, rainfall amounts and other factors with physical laws. The models can help researchers better predict long-term climate changes and short-term weather forecasts. "Understanding how heat moves through the ocean is essential for predicting the behavior of the climate we experience on land," Harrison said.
The process starts when tropical waters soak up the sun's heat. Ocean currents push heated water toward the poles, warming not only the northern and southern oceans but also the air and land. This "ocean heat engine" makes northern Europe considerably more habitable than it otherwise would be.
In the North Atlantic, warm water from the tropics rides the Gulfstream extension northward toward the Norwegian Sea and mixes with cold water from the Arctic. Cold water is denser than warm water, so the mixed water sinks and makes its way eventually southward, bringing nutrients to fisheries off the coast of North America.
The water's saltiness, or salinity, plays a significant role in this ocean heat engine, Harrison said. Salt makes the water denser, helping it to sink. As the atmosphere warms due to global climate change, melting ice sheets have the potential to release tremendous amounts of fresh water into the oceans. Climate visualizations can help researchers see how the influx of fresh water affects global ocean circulation over time.
The animation reveals how factors like evaporation, rainfall and river runoff affect salinity. For example, the Mediterranean Sea, which lies in an arid region and has only a narrow outlet, is much saltier than the nearby Atlantic Ocean. In contrast, over 250 rivers flow into the Baltic Sea between mainland Europe and Scandinavia, so the sea is about seven-times less salty than the Atlantic Ocean.
One of the special aspects of this video animation is its high resolution, Harrison said. The simulation's resolution is six million pixels, which is like dividing up the world's ocean surface into a grid consisting of six million sectors. Each sector corresponds to an ocean area of about 10 kilometers on each side. The model calculates the temperature and salinity for each sector, which becomes a pixel, or a colored spot on the screen.
In the real world, weather conditions change from moment to moment. To capture this variability, GFDL's climate models incorporate weather conditions collected from ground stations and satellites to update the model hourly with near-surface wind speeds, temperature, rainfall and solar radiation. The calculations run on supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
"There is an art to handling large amounts of data," said Whit Anderson, deputy director of GFDL and himself an oceanographer. "You cannot just brute-force the large and complex data produced at facilities like GFDL and PPPL through a commercial product.
"The increase in the amount of data is due to our better understanding of climate and weather," Anderson continued. "These large amounts of data in turn are giving us improved skill in predicting future climate and weather."
Student involvement
Feibush credits the project's success to his student interns, some who started on the visualization project at PPPL while in high school. "Without the students, this wouldn't have happened," Feibush said.
One of these students, Matthew Lotocki, started working with Feibush while a senior at the Bergen County Academy for Technology and Computer Science, a public magnet high school in New Jersey.
"It was an amazing opportunity," said Lotocki, a member of Princeton's Class of 2017. "You get to work with cutting-edge computer clusters and systems, really interesting projects, and with a mentor who teaches you how to make the tools to create really cool visualizations."
One of the challenges was figuring out how to combine different types of computer processors to work on the task. Today's scientists often take advantage of the power of video-game graphics processing units (GPUs) to do their computations. Lotocki had to get the GPU to do the calculations and generate the graphics on the screen. Another student intern, Michael Knyszek, who attends the University of California-Berkeley and who had an internship with Feibush as part of the Department of Energy Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program, programmed the GPU to combine layers of data.
The developers made the video animation look more realistic by incorporating NASA satellite data of the changing colors of the terrain to show typical seasonal changes. Zachary Stier, Princeton Class of 2020, also worked on the project as a student at the Bergen Academies. "A lot of the challenge was figuring out the right tools to address the questions we had at hand," Stier said. "There were some tasks for which there was no documentation for what we wanted to do."
The experience working at PPPL was one of the factors that influenced Stier's decision to come to Princeton. "I am much more able to look at a problem and do the research into what tools are available to attack the problem," he said.
The consortium combines three institutions, each with a different research focus. Princeton University is home to expert scientists in a wide range of disciplines. Scientists at PPPL, which is managed by Princeton University, are developing fusion energy, which involves creating charged gases known as plasmas in a confined reactor for safe and abundant sources of electricity. GFDL's expertise is climate modeling.
"Our organizations all work on very different things but one thing that we all have in common is the need to visualize large and complex data," Anderson said.
Funding was supplied by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

Newtown marksman fires historic shots
by Caoimhinn Barr, Inishowen Independent
A NEWTOWN marksman has become the first Irish man to win all four home majors in clay pigeon shooting after two stunning cross-channel displays recently.
Jim Doherty (37) took top honours at the Krieghoff Classic in Wales before storming to victory at the English Open in Dorset with two scintillating performances on the biggest stage.
The son of Seamus and Nora Doherty, Jim, the current captain of the Irish DTL shooting team, knew the omens were good when this year's Welsh final was held at a place called Newtown.
"I have a good record at that venue so I knew I had a good chance to win," he said.
After defeating more than 450 triggermen at the Welsh event, Jim repeated the feat at the English Open, out-shooting more than 300 on his way to an historic victory.
"I was able to take my good form from Wales into the English Open. On the day anyone could beat anyone else but luckily everything fell into place for me," Jim added.
Newtown marksman, Jim Doherty.
A delighted Jim said the two victories marked the best week in his shooting career so far
"I am absolutely delighted to have won. It is an honour for me to become the first Irish man to win all four," he said.
Victory at Dorset has given Jim somewhat of a dilemma though because his prize for winning is a choice between around €5,000 in cash or a five-year deal to use a Krieghoff weapon, worth €13,000.
"I still haven't made my mind up about which option to go for. I've never shot a Krieghoff before so I'm not sure if it would suit me," Jim said.
An IT consultant with Donegal County Council, Jim first garnered an interest in the niche sport when he attended a clay pigeon shoot at Quigley's Point as a youngster with his father Seamus.
He is now looking forward to the European Championships in Waterford before taking his over/under Beretta shotgun to the British Open in County Derry next month.

SAN FRANCISCO >> Popular pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, who played on two World Series winning teams and was an All-Star in 2011, will retire as a member of the Giants in a ceremony Sunday at AT&T Park.
Vogelsong, winner of the club's coveted Willie Mac Award in 2011, will be honored before the Giants' 1:05 p.m. game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Even as the No. 5 starter, Vogelsong was an emotional leader when he returned to the franchise in 2011, catcher Buster Posey said.
"He held the rest of the starting staff accountable. Just the way he went about doing things," Posey said. "It's hard to put a value on someone like that, who brings that intensity every single day."
Selected by the organization in the fifth round of the 1998 draft, Vogelsong had two stints with the Giants (2000-01 and 2011-15).
Manager Bruce Bochy said it hasn't been decided how the retirement ceremony will unfold. In 2008, the Giants signed first baseman J.T. Snow to a one-day contract, put him in the lineup and allowed him to take a bow to start the game before coming off the field.
"We're trying to do something special for him," Bochy said of Vogelsong.
Vogelsong was 48-49 with the Giants, working primarily as a starter. He earned a spot on the roster in 2011 after four years playing in Japan or the minor leagues, and went 13-7 as the fifth starter. He won 14 games in 2012 and was 2-0 in the NLCS against St. Louis as the Giants went on to win their second World Series in three seasons.
"He's one of those guys who is well-liked by everybody," Bochy said. "And what he did on the field, the big games he pitched for us. Vogy is one of those guys who's a great story, making a comeback … and helping us win a World Series."
Now 40, Vogelsong retired after an unsuccessful spring training stint with the Minnesota Twins.
* Denard Span's mother, Wanda Wilson, a resident of Tampa, Florida, came through Sunday's arrival of Hurricane Irma without incident, the Giants center fielder said.
"Everybody's good, thank God. Everybody got through fine, other than a power outage. No damage to her home at all," Span said. "She's good."
Likewise, Bochy said his brother and sister, also Florida residents, avoided the worst of the storm.
His sister, Terry, lives in Melbourne, Florida. "She hunkered down – she's tough," he said.
* Brandon Belt, who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 5 with a concussion he sustained when hit in the head with a pitch, is progressing but not expected to play again this season.
"We're pretty far along now in September. I just don't see it happening," Bochy said. "You've also got to figure out the risk vs. reward."
* Baseball will not reverse the fielder's choice scoring decision that deprived Posey of a steal of home last Friday in Chicago. Posey said he got the official word Monday.
"I don't quite get it, to be honest," Bochy said. "It's a stolen base. He stole home."
Bochy dashed home when White Sox catcher Kevan Smith threw to second as Brandon Crawford took off from first base, prompting the fielder's choice call.

Professional baseball is about to embark on its second winter season in Palm Springs. The California Winter League (CWL) is bringing players from around the world, right here to the desert.
The league has taken a huge jump in size from year one to year two. There are nearly twice as many players in the league this year. This can be largely credited to President, Andrew Starke, and his understanding of what the players want. "The first thing is bringing out coaches and scouts that will have the opportunity to sign players to contracts and offer them opportunities to go forward."
"The response that we've gotten verbally from the scouts is that they're going to show up," said Starke. "They're even passing on names of players to participate in the league which shows that they respect what we're doing"
Last season, Oakland Athletics scout Craig Weissmann got the chance to attend a few games and liked what he saw. "Anytime you can organize a league that allows players to go out there and play, it's great for baseball. The more players that are out there playing, the greater opportunity there is for them to be noticed and develop as baseball players." Weissmann did notice something he liked. He signed infielder Jeff Bercume to a professional contract. If everything falls into place, Weissmann plans on returning to the CWL to check out the new batch of talent.
It's not just scouts that will be back for year number two. Newstalk 920 will once again be the home of the California Winter League. Programming director Steve Kelley is excited to see the direction of the CWL. "You can tell the brand is growing because of the kind of players they're attracting." Kelley also believes that this league is about more than just players. "Andrew does an important service to the community, and we felt it was an important service to cover them".
The Palm Springs community has been a major key to the leagues success. "We're not just marketing to the full time residents, we're marketing to the tourists as well," said Starke. The hopes are to get people from all backgrounds out to the games and make the California Winter League part of Palm Springs culture. Starke wants everyone to be a part of the 2011 season. "There's something for everyone. You get up and play golf and you want to come for lunch. You're a late riser and you want to watch an afternoon game. If you're working or have school and want to come to an evening game or a weekend game. Come out to Palm Springs Stadium."
With opening day (January 22) fast approaching, Starke has one message for the community. "The fans that come out will really be receptive to what we have and the product that we offer".
