The Virginia was built by stripping the captured frigate Merrimac to the waterline and then constructing an armored superstructure. The Monitor was a radical new design, with a revolving turret mounted on a clean, low-profile hull.
The two ships met at Hampton Roads, VA, on March 9, 1862. The day before the Virginia had sunk two wooden ships and forced a third to run aground, but during the night the Monitor had arrived. After a four hour battle, both ships were damaged and their crews exhausted, but neither could inflict a fatal blow. The Virginia withdrew, and the two never faced each other again.

I think I've gotten to the point where I like my Rainmeter Desktop configs. I'm using 4 desktop modification programs.
1. Rainmeter
2. CD Art Display
3. Objectdock

- I have it to where I can click on a single button and launch and deactivate or launch and deactivate all of them at once specific items from Rainmeter in the bottom toolbar. I think someone else had blended Rainmeter with their toolbar and I did something similar by blending my Rainmeter toolbar with my objectdock icons. It works great because i can see everything at once even when I am working on my desktop.
- I also took advantage of the Rainmeter feature that allows you to set the desktop area so I can have a sidebar like area on the left. It allows me to keep my Rainlendar visible at all times as well. All in all, it works out really well.
- I also have it to where I can launch a single monitor desktop or and a dual monitor setup by the click of a button.
For dual monitors, I like being able to see every feed at a glance. It works out pretty well.
Mercury is volatile, so crews monitor the air quality during the work to ensure safety for themselves and the environment.
Here are some close-ups of the ironclad USS Monitor, as depicted by floodllama for the Battle of Bricksburg at BrickCon 2015.
The Bengal monitor (Varanus bengalensis) or common Indian monitor, is a monitor lizard found widely distributed over South Asia. This large lizard is mainly terrestrial, and grows to about 175 cm from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. Young monitors may be more arboreal, but adults mainly hunt on the ground, preying mainly on arthropods, but also taking small terrestrial vertebrates, ground birds, eggs and fish. Although large monitors have few predators apart from humans who hunt them for meat, younger individuals are hunted by many predators.
On a brisk, beautiful sunny September day, TLC staff took a trip to Tofino to monitor the exquisite Clayoquot Island Preserve. The island has seen many changes, having once been the major town complete with post office and hotel before Tofino’s population grew. Thankfully, for nature lovers, Clayoquot Island (aka Stubbs Island) was bought by Susan Bloom who immediately recognized its value and endeavored to protect it from further development as well as restore it back to its natural beauty. Bloom registered a conservation covenant with TLC on approximately 70 acres of Clayoquot Island in 2007, but the rest of the island is now protected as well – the Nature Conservancy of Canada is the proud new owner of the entire island, having received it by donation in February of this year from Bloom.
The 93 acres contains mixed old-growth and mature second-growth coastal western hemlock forests, and a significant stretch of oceanfront with sand dunes and eelgrass beds, boasting visits from great blue herons, black oystercatchers and Pacific geoduck, as well as a wolf or two from time to time.
On TLC’s recent monitoring visit, a wolf was indeed on the island but fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your love of wolves!) none were seen. However, their presence was known due to the scat found on the island’s boardwalks! TLC staff were joined by the long-time island caretaker who has painstakingly watched over the island for over 30 years. Chris has seen it all on this island – entire patches of forest grow where none were before; befriended wolves and other creatures like the adorable squirrel who stole walnuts and hazelnuts from our tea tray while in Chris’s home; watched sunflowers plant themselves on random beaches across the island, ever hopeful to make a go of it; laboriously constructing and reconstructing the boardwalks that allow access to much of the island, and so much more. All while simultaneously gathering seaweeds and herbs to create beautiful soaps, right in their backyard!
The real magic of Clayoquot Island is being there, which is why Chris’s stories and experiences over the past 30+ years are so riveting. Where else can time essentially stand still, or even go backwards? Removing tonnes of waste materials from the island is no small feat, and allowing natural processes to thrive while simultaneously cultivating a garden straight out of Anne of Green Gables is nothing to sniff at either. TLC can’t thank Chris and Sharon enough for their lifetime of stewardship over this very special place.
The monitoring visit enchanted us with forests dripping in moss, beaches with an incredible diversity of seaweeds, caves with rare crickets inside, and trees so large you can’t possibly get a good picture of them. As the island is on the west coast, it unfortunately sees a fair amount of garbage drift in, but this is carefully picked up every day when Chris does his rounds. In fact, one piece of “garbage” Chris found is the boat he uses most often, lovingly nicknamed “Deathtrap” on account of the salvager wondering why Chris wanted such a deathtrap of a boat. With a very shallow base, Deathtrap allows its captain the ability to get far into shore without scraping too much on the bottom. There is a purpose for everything, even the garbage of Clayoquot Island.
TLC gratefully looks toward our next monitoring visit on Clayoquot Island and are very proud to continue to help protect this ecologically and culturally significant island.
Those who would like to visit this gem of an island can do so on the May long weekend; the only time the island is open to the public.
