Local's Guide | 2 Days in San Antonio
How to spend a perfect weekend getaway in San Antonio
Michelle Robertson, La Cantera Resort & Spa's Director of Marketing Communications and PR, keeps a pretty packed schedule. But when she has some down time, below is how she spends a weekend trip in her beloved hometown of San Antonio.
Things To Do In San Antonio, TX
Robertson recommends spending an afternoon along the San Antonio Riverwalk, where Rio San Antonio Cruises can take you on a historic tour of downtown before heading to The Pearl. "It's an urban oasis," says Robertson. "It not only has an abundance of great restaurants, but also boutique retailers to explore." Art buffs should beeline to The San Antonio Museum of Art, which Robertson adores for "its extensive collection of Spanish, pre-Columbian, Latin American Greek, Egyptian, Chinese and Roman works. An entire wing is dedicated to its Asian Art collection, with one of the most coveted in the United States with over 1,500 works." The museum also offers family days and child-friendly activities, so everyone can get in on the fun.
Where To Eat And Drink In San Antonio, TX
Though she might work at the property, Robertson adores its signature restaurant, which happens to be called Signature. "With Chef Andrew Weissman at the helm, it's one of the my favorites places to dine," says Robertson. "It offers a beguiling menu, featuring contemporary interpretations of classic dishes with Texas touches that include dove and venison dishes, Gulf seafood and house-aged beef." For well-crafted cocktails, she like to unwind at Sire Bar, which is located just off the lobby at La Cantera: "The lounge features signature cocktails, a wide range of spirits, and delicious charcuterie offerings and small bites from the adjacent Bocado." Located in the heart of Alamo Heights, the charming Bird Bakery prides itself in making everything from scratch, every morning. From pimento cheese popovers to meyer lemon pound cake, there's something for every palate. Even better? If there's any leftovers at closing time, they're donated to local charities.
Where To Shop In San Antonio, TX
"For serious shopping, I recommend The Shops at La Cantera, an open air retail center anchored by Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Dillard's and Macy's," says Robertson. "The property also showcases more than 150 retailers, including a Main Street with a variety of eateries, lots of water elements, and beautiful Texas landscape."

"Sometimes there are folks in this world who deserve a good killin'..."Ivy Cole has come home to the South, and her first order of business upon arriving in her new mountain town is to eliminate the unsavory folks who reside there. Proud of what she can accomplish under the spell of the full moon, Ivy leaves the consequences of her actions lying about Doe Springs (in pieces) as a reminder that evil happens to those who deserve it.
But something else has taken up residence in the land, something violent and cruel, with an unconscionable appetite that eventually targets the ones Ivy loves. While she hunts and is hunted by the other, Sheriff Hubbard doggedly works to solve the mystery behind the savage killings and mutilations.
Award-winning novel Ivy Cole and the Moon is an artful mix of horror, mystery, and Southern literary fiction. Farago weaves ancient werewolf and wolf mythology throughout her plot while blending in scientific and historical facts about true wolves. Forget the stereotypical Hollywood monster. Farago reinvents the werewolf in this first of the Ivy Cole series.
Absent for more than a century, the voice of the wolf rises over the Appalachian peaks once more.
" Farago's novel immediately captures the imagination with its setting in the deep, dark North Carolina mountains and its action spanning those mysterious nights when the full moon shines and wild creatures go wilder..."
~ Barbara Bamberger Scott, reviewer for the Greensboro News and Record

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
In 2010, Poland's National Library performed a survey to determine the reading habits of the Polish citizenry. The results were not buoying: 56 percent of Poles had not read a book in the past year, either in hard or electronic form. Just as bad was that 46 percent had not attempted to digest anything longer than three pages in the previous month – and this included students and university graduates.
But who's to blame here: The willfully non-literate masses for not trekking to the public library? Or is it the library's fault for not attracting these individuals, what with its classically stodgy, hermetic-cage-for-learning design?
At least one Polish architect believes libraries should bear some of the blame for a lack of reading. Hugon Kowalski, who runs UGO Architecture and Design, thinks that no matter how grand or inspiring a library's appearance is, many people will not flock to it unless it offers amenities other than plopping down with a book. "A modern building will not attract new users to a library, at least not in the long run," he writes. "People interested in its novelty will probably go there only once."
So Kowalski conceived of a new kind of library that he hopes will one day be built in Mosina, a town just south of Poznań. On its first floor, it's all bibliotheca: Patrons squat on moddish stools among stacks and stacks of books. But then it gets weird: In the middle of the library is a glass column full of water and flailing human bodies. Go up one level and you're suddenly in the middle of a vast swimming facility, complete with a snaking water slide that takes whooping swimmers on a ride inside and outside of the building.
Kowalski got to thinking about his watery wonderland of reading after consulting surveys that showed Poles "rarely indicated" a desire to build new libraries. Rather, they wanted to see more sports halls, pools, kindergartens and retail shops. So the architect decided to supply the public with a fun reason to repeatedly visit a mixed-use library facility. If it so happens that bathers exit the pool's locker room with a fierce desire to consume Hans Fallada, that's just a happy side effect of the building's design.
The cost of operating the library could conceivably be subsidized with the above-ground pool, Kowalski believes. Such libraries would "parasitize" on their neighbor facilities, with the revenues generated from charging pool admission going toward librarian salaries, book repair and other things. The mixed-use library is an idea that a few cities over the world have already experimented with. The Hague's public library tries to throw a net over a large audience by offering jazz concerts, art shows and a piano-practice room. The Hollywood Library in Portland, Oregan, entices potential readers with an adjoining cafe offering coffee and buttery pastries.
Here are a few more renderings of the poolbrary from Kowalski's portfolio, which also includes this beehive-shaped parking garage and a Barcelona "rock hostel" that literally is a pile of rocks, meant for mountain-climbing practice. In this imagined scene, chlorinated patrons take to an open-air balcony to soak in the weirdly grayish Polish sunlight:
A view inside reveals columned book stacks, an outdoor reading area and the see-through bottom of the pool:
The works of Ryszard Kapuściński only get better when savored after a brutal, no-holds-barred pool-noodle fight:
Here are some of the other uses that UGO conceived for a mixed-use library structure, such as a skate park, grocery store, night club, etc., etc.:

In an era of austere federal funding for urban public transportation, light rail seemed to make sense. Did the little trains of the 1980s pull their own weight?
Livability indexes can obscure the experiences of non-white people. CityLab analyzed the outcomes just for black women, for a different kind of ranking.
A different kind of wealth distribution in 17th-century Amsterdam paved the way for its quintessential home design.
Tiny upper-floor "maids' rooms" have helped drive down local assumptions about exactly how small a livable home can be.
The pioneering festival marketplace was among the most trendsetting urban attractions of the last 40 years. Now it's looking for a new place in a changed city.

In addition to a role in the formation of the male phenotype, testosterone
is a precursor for the synthesis of two other steroid hormones,
dihydrotestosterone and estradiol (Illustration 1). Dihydrotestosterone
is the most potent naturally occurring androgen, and is made from
testosterone by two enzymes, termed steroid 5α-reductase type 1 and
steroid 5α-reductase type 2. The Russell lab isolated genes
encoding these two enzymes and showed that genetic loss of 5α-reductase
type 2 in humans causes an unusual male birth defect in which the external
genitalia and prostate gland fail to form. Adult males with this genetic
disease also do not develop male pattern baldness, the gradual loss of
hair that occurs with aging in men. The observations that loss of steroid 5α-reductase
type 2 prevented both prostate growth and baldness led to the development of drugs
(Proscar, Propecia, Merck and Co.) that inhibit the enzyme and are prescribed
for benign prostatic hyperplasia and baldness. Based on the results from the
cloning studies indicating the presence of two steroid 5α-reductase enzymes,
and the observation that the Merck drugs inhibited only one of these (the type 2 enzyme),
scientists at the Glaxo Welcome company developed a drug that inhibits both enzymes (Dutasteride),
which is thought to be more efficient in treating prostate growth and baldness.

Saturday I attended the Memorial Service / Celebration of Life Service for the husband of a Sunday School Class member. I had never met him and barely know his wife; however, through her beautiful emails I felt I knew them both.
At least once a week she shared their journey. via an email message. His continued zest for life no matter what Cancer threw at him, along with her love and devotion was beyond most marriages…(and theirs was not even four years long). Each entry gave a message of hope.
The stories his friends and family shared at the service made me wish I had met him, enjoyed their company…had been friends. The photo montage showed a couple that loved life and each other.
We have no idea how long we have here on earth…we may live into our 80s or 90s…but for some today may be our last day with our family and friends.
When it came time for our pastor to speak, he said, 'When those photos went by on the screen, I imagined myself up there. I imagined my family and friends in the audience. Did you do the same?'
YES! Everyone was nodding yes.
He went on to say, will we have lived a life that not only our friends and family are proud of but one that Christ is too? Will death be the greatest day of our life because it's the day we see Jesus face to face?
Are you confident that if today was your last day here on earth that when you become absent from the body that you would immediately be present with The Lord?
Not sure? Click here to learn how you may KNOW for SURE!!
Live your life to the fullest. Is there someone you need to make amends? I am not talking about a mere apology, rather complete RESTORATION of that relationship. Ask yourself, "Is what they did or I did worth what has become of this fractured, dysfunctional relationship? Does it really matter in the long run who was right or who was wrong?"
Be the bigger person, reach out, restore, renew…as there will be one day your pictures will be the focus of the montage, your friends and family will be telling the great stories of your life…but the whispers may be of the fractured relationships you left behind.
Forgiveness is tough. And just because you have forgiven someone it does not mean you are condoning or justifying the deed or the person. BUT…Forgiveness is the beginning of our own healing…the cleansing of that bitter poison in our hearts that eats away at our souls. Allow God to heal you so that you can renew those relationships that are broken.
(Now please note, if that relationship is broken because that person did physical harm to you – an abusive relationship – forgiveness is still possible and necessary for your wellbeing both physically and spiritually, but that does not mean you have to communicate with that person. You must always be safe. God loves that person but God does not condone cruel or violent behavior. Forgiveness in your heart will give you peace…The Peace of God.)
I doubt there is one reader out there that does not have some sort of dysfunction in their family. A mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, friend or co-worker that has just gotten under your skin causing a fester of sorts. It may just be a small abrasion, or it may be a complete fracture of the relationship.
Make amends. One Stone at a Time.
I plead with you. Make amends. Examine your heart. Is this worth it? Your day is coming when your name will be on the funeral bulletin, your photos flashed across the screen…make amends while there is still time.
Forgiveness begins with the surrender of our own will. Start by asking God to work in your heart, to initiate the healing…you will be amazed at the results.
In Matthew 6:6-15, Jesus gives us The Lord's Prayer…an example of how we are to pray. The Message version says it well:
6 "Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.
7 "The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God.
8 Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.
9 With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are.
10 Set the world right; Do what's best – as above, so below.
11Keep us alive with three square meals.
12 Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
13 Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.
14 "In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others.
15 If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part.
Is God speaking to you? May you find the strength through The Power of the Holy Spirit to make amends.
Blessings to you…Susan

Configuration files
By default, PulseAudio is configured to automatically detect all sound cards and manage them. It takes control of all detected ALSA devices and redirect all audio streams to itself, making the PulseAudio daemon the central configuration point. The daemon should work mostly out of the box, only requiring a few minor tweaks.
PulseAudio will first look for configuration files in home directory
~/.config/pulse, then in system wide
PulseAudio runs as a server daemon that can run either system-wide or on per-user basis using a client/server architecture. The daemon by itself does nothing without its modules except to provide an API and host dynamically loaded modules. The audio routing and processing tasks are all handled by various modules. You can find a detailed list of all available modules at Pulseaudio Loadable Modules. To enable them you can just add a line
load-module <module-name-from-list> to
- It is strongly suggested not to edit system wide configuration files, but rather edit user ones. Create the
~/.config/pulsedirectory, then copy the system configuration files into it and edit according to your need.
- Make sure you keep user configuration in sync with changes to the packaged files in
/etc/pulse/. Otherwise, PulseAudio may refuse to start due to configuration errors.
- There is no need to add your user to audio group, as it uses udev and logind to dynamically give access to the currently "active" user
Defines base settings like the default sample rates used by modules, resampling methods, realtime scheduling and various other settings related to the server process. These can not be changed at runtime without restarting the PulseAudio daemon. The defaults are sensible for most users.
|Run the daemon as a system-wide instance. Highly discouraged as it can introduce security issues. Useful on (headless) systems that have no real local users. Defaults to
|Which resampler to use when audio with incompatible sample rates needs to be passed between modules (e.g. playback of 96kHz audio on hardware which only supports 48kHz). The available resamplers can be listed with
$ pulseaudio --dump-resample-methods. Choose the best tradeoff between CPU usage and audio quality for the present use-case.
Tip: In some cases PulseAudio will generate a high CPU load. This can happen when multiple streams are resampled (individually). If this is a common use-case in a workflow, it should be considered to create an additional sink at a matching sample rate which can then be fed into the main sink, resampling only once.
flat-volumes scales the device-volume with the volume of the "loudest" application. For example, raising the VoIP call volume will raise the hardware volume and adjust the music-player volume so it stays where it was, without having to lower the volume of the music-player manually. Defaults to
Warning: The default behavior can sometimes be confusing and some applications, unaware of this feature, can set their volume to 100% at startup, potentially blowing your speakers or your ears. To restore the classic (ALSA) behavior set this to
|Audio samples are split into multiple fragments of
default-fragment-size-msec each. The larger the buffer is, the less likely audio will skip when the system is overloaded. On the downside this will increase the overall latency. Increase this value if you have issues.
This file is a startup script and is used to configure modules. It is actually parsed and read after the daemon has finished initializing and additionnal commands can be sent at runtime using
$ pactl or
$ pacmd. The startup script can also be provided on the command line by starting PulseAudio in a terminal using
$ pulseaudio -nC. This will make the daemon load the CLI module and will accept the configuration directly from the command line, and output resulting information or error messages on the same terminal. This can be useful when debugging the daemon or just to test various modules before setting them permanently on disk. The manual page is quite self-explanatory, please consult
man pulse-cli-syntax for the details of the syntax.
- Run
$ pacmd list-sinks|egrep -i 'index:|name:'to list available sinks. The present default sink is marked with an asterisk.
- Edit
~/.config/pulse/default.pato insert/alter the set-default-sink command using the sink's name as the numbering cannot be guaranteed repeatable.
This is the configuration file read by every PulseAudio client application. It is used to configure runtime options for individual clients. It can be used to set and configure the default sink and source statically as well as allowing (or disallowing) clients to automatically start the server if not currently running.
Configuration command
The main command to configure a server during runtime is
$ pacmd. Run
$ pacmd --help for a list options, or just run
$ pacmd to enter the shell interactive mode and
Ctrl+d to exit. All modifications will immediately be applied.
Once your new settings have been tested and meet your needs, edit the
default.pa accordingly to make the change persistent. See PulseAudio/Examples for some basic settings.
load-module module-default-device-restore line in the
default.pa file untouched. It will allow you to restart the server in its default state, thus dismissing any wrong setting.
It is important to understand that the "sources" (processes, capture devices) and "sinks" (sound cards, servers, other processes) accessible and selectable through PulseAudio depend upon the current hardware "Profile" selected. These "Profiles" are those ALSA "pcms" listed by the command
aplay -L, and more specifically by the command
pacmd list-cards, which will include a line "index:", a list beginning "profiles:", and a line "active profile: <...>" in the output, among other things.
The "active profile" can be set with the command
pacmd set-card-profile INDEX PROFILE, with no comma separating INDEX and PROFILE, where INDEX is just the number on the line "index:" and a PROFILE name is everything shown from the beginning of any line under "profile:" to just before the colon and first space, as shown by the command
pacmd list-cards. For instance,
pacmd set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo.
It may be easier to select a "Profile" with a graphical tool like
pavucontrol, under the "Configuration" tab, or KDE System Settings, "Multimedia/Audio and Video Settings", under the "Audio Hardware Setup" tab. Each audio "Card", which are those devices listed by the command
aplay -l, or again by the command
pacmd list-cards, will have its own selectable "Profile". When a "Profile" has been selected, the then available "sources" and "sinks" can be seen by using the commands
pacmd list-sources and
pacmd list-sinks. Note that the "index" of the available sources and sinks will change each time a card profile is changed.
The selected "Profile" can be an issue for some applications, especially the Adobe Flash players, typically
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so and
/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so. Often, these Flash players will only work when one of the Stereo profiles is selected, and otherwise, will play video with no sound, or will simply "crash". When all else fails, you might try selecting a different profile.
Of course, when configuring some variation of Surround Sound in PulseAudio, the appropriate Surround profile will have to be selected, before Surround Sound will work, or in order to do things like remap the speaker channels.
Since version 7.0, PulseAudio on Arch uses socket activation. By default,
pulseaudio.socket is enabled for the systemd/User instance.
- To disable
pulseaudio.socket, make sure that
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/systemd/user/exists and run
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket.
- Many desktop environments autostart programs based on desktop files in the
/etc/xdg/autostart/directory. In this case, PulseAudio will be launched automatically regardless of the socket activation status.
For more information, see PulseAudio: Running.
Starting manually
PulseAudio can be manually started with:
$ pulseaudio --start
And stopped with:
$ pulseaudio --kill
Back-end configuration
Install the pulseaudio-alsa package. It contains the necessary
/etc/asound.conf for configuring ALSA to use PulseAudio.
Also install lib32-libpulse and lib32-alsa-plugins if you run a x86_64 system and want to have sound for 32-bit multilib programs like Wine, Skype and Steam.
To prevent applications from using ALSA's OSS emulation and bypassing PulseAudio (thereby preventing other applications from playing sound), make sure the module
snd_pcm_oss is not being loaded at boot. If it is currently loaded (
lsmod | grep oss), disable it by executing:
# rmmod snd_pcm_oss
ALSA/dmix without grabbing hardware device
You may want to use ALSA directly in most of your applications while still being able to use applications which require PulseAudio at the same time. The following steps allow you to make PulseAudio use dmix instead of grabbing ALSA hardware device.
- Remove package pulseaudio-alsa, which provides compatibility layer between ALSA applications and PulseAudio. After this your ALSA apps will use ALSA directly without being hooked by Pulse.
- Edit
- Find and uncomment lines which load back-end drivers. Add device parameters as follows. Then find and comment lines which load autodetect modules.
load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmix load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoop # load-module module-udev-detect # load-module module-detect
- Optional: If you use kdemultimedia-kmix you may want to control ALSA volume instead of PulseAudio volume:
$ echo export KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 > ~/.kde4/env/kmix_disable_pulse.sh $ chmod +x ~/.kde4/env/kmix_disable_pulse.sh
- Now, reboot your computer and try running ALSA and PulseAudio applications at the same time. They both should produce sound simultaneously.
- Use pavucontrol to control PulseAudio volume if needed.
There are multiple ways of making OSS-only programs output to PulseAudio:
Install ossp package and start
padsp wrapper
Programs using OSS can work with PulseAudio by starting it with padsp (included with PulseAudio):
$ padsp OSSprogram
A few examples:
$ padsp aumix $ padsp sox foo.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
You can also add a custom wrapper script like this:
#!/bin/sh exec padsp /usr/bin/OSSprogram "$@"
Make sure
/usr/local/bin comes before
/usr/bin in your PATH.
Install gst-plugins-good, or gstreamer0.10-good-plugins if your intended program has a legacy GStreamer implementation.
OpenAL Soft should use PulseAudio by default, but can be explicitly configured to do so:
Edit the libao configuration file:
Be sure to remove the
dev=default option of the alsa driver or adjust it to specify a specific Pulse sink name or number.
PulseAudio has an integrated 10-band equalizer system. In order to use the equalizer do the following:
Install pulseaudio-equalizer:
Load equalizer sink and dbus-protocol module
$ pactl load-module module-equalizer-sink $ pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol
GUI front-end
$ qpaeq
Load equalizer and dbus module on every boot
Edit the
/etc/pulse/default.pa or
~/.config/pulse/default.pa file with your favorite editor and append the following lines:
### Load the integrated PulseAudio equalizer and D-Bus module load-module module-equalizer-sink load-module module-dbus-protocol
The audio driver used by QEMU is set with the
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV environment variable:
$ export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
Run the following command to get QEMU's configuration options related to PulseAudio:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -audio-help | awk '/Name: pa/' RS=
The listed options can be exported as environment variables, for example:
$ export QEMU_PA_SINK=alsa_output.pci-0000_04_01.0.analog-stereo.monitor $ export QEMU_PA_SOURCE=input
To get list of the supported emulation audio drivers
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -soundhw help
To use e.g.
ac97 driver for the guest use the
-soundhw ac97 commnad with QEMU.
qemu-system-x86_64 -h | grep vga.
Make alsamixer.appAUR dockapp for the windowmaker use pulseaudio, e.g.
$ AlsaMixer.app --device pulse
Here is a two examples where the first one is for ALSA and the other one is for pulseaudio. You can run multiple instances of it. Use the
-w option to choose which of the control buttons to bind to the mouse wheel.
# AlsaMixer.app -3 Mic -1 Master -2 PCM --card 0 -w 1 # AlsaMixer.app --device pulse -1 Capture -2 Master -w 2
Make it switch to pulseaudio output
$ nyxmms2 server config output.plugin pulse
and to alsa
$ nyxmms2 server config output.plugin alsa
To make xmms2 use a different output sink, e.g.
$ nyxmms2 server config pulse.sink alsa_output.pci-0000_04_01.0.analog-stereo.monitor
See also the official guide [3].
KDE Plasma Workspaces and Qt4
PulseAudio will automatically be used by KDE/Qt4 applications. It is supported by default in the KDE sound mixer. For more information see the KDE page in the PulseAudio wiki. One useful tidbit from that page is to add
load-module module-device-manager to
If the phonon-gstreamer backend is used for Phonon, GStreamer should also be configured as described in #GStreamer.
Audacious natively supports PulseAudio. In order to use it, set Audacious Preferences -> Audio -> Current output plugin to 'PulseAudio Output Plugin'.
Java/OpenJDK 6
Create a wrapper for the Java executable using padsp as seen on the Java sound with PulseAudio page.
Music Player Daemon (MPD)
configure MPD to use PulseAudio. See also MPD/Tips and Tricks#MPD and PulseAudio.
MPlayer natively supports PulseAudio output with the
-ao pulse option. It can also be configured to default to PulseAudio output, in
~/.mplayer/config for per-user, or
/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf for system-wide:
guvcview when using the PulseAudio input from a Webcam may have the audio input suspended resulting in no audio being recorded. You can check this by executing:
$ pactl list sources
If the audio source is "suspended" then modifying the following line in
/etc/pulse/default.pa and changing:
load-module module-suspend-on-idle
#load-module module-suspend-on-idle
And then either restarting PulseAudio or your computer will only idle the input source instead of suspending it. guvcview will then correctly record audio from the device.
Tips and tricks
Keyboard volume control
Map the following commands to your volume keys:
First find out which sink corresponds to the audio output you'd like to control. To list available sinks:
pactl list sinks short
Suppose sink 0 is to be used, to raise the volume:
sh -c "pactl set-sink-mute 0 false ; pactl set-sink-volume 0 +5%"
To lower the volume:
sh -c "pactl set-sink-mute 0 false ; pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 -5%"
To mute/unmute the volume:
pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle
Play sound from a non-interactive shell (systemd service, cron...)
replace foobar with the user running pulseaudio
machinectl shell .host --uid=foobar /usr/bin/paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/complete.oga
See PulseAudio/Troubleshooting.

Viña Cono Sur Sauvignon Blanc San Antonio Valley Organic 2009
Winemaker's Notes:
Elegant, expressive and dressed in a green-yellow shade of colour, this Sauvignon Blanc impresses with its citrus notes of grapefruit and green apple, which mingle in with herbal hints. In mouth, its freshness and balance specially stand out, along with its citric notes and pleasant mineral ending. It's a great wine for an aperitif. This wine is an excellent choice to serve as an aperitif or next to vegetarian combinations. It also goes well with soft and fresh cheeses. A few ideas are crunchy toasts with smoked salmon and ricotta, rice cooked with grilled red peppers, chicken breast with lemon juice, and oyster soup.
Member Reviews for Viña Cono Sur Sauvignon Blanc San Antonio Valley OrganicAdd your review
peachy fruit, a little spritz like, fruit is prevalent, a bit full, with nice length
Harsh. A lot of lemon grass, a bit of citrus. Drinkable and average. Not recommended.
Very tangy, refreshing. Crisp on the palate. Very green with a slightly bitter lemon peel finish.

Cono Sur Sauvignon Blanc Bicycle Series 2009 and all other premium wine from Cono Sur available at discounted prices at CheaperCigars.com. We also carry many other premium wine lables from Chile and all over the world.
Light but focused, showing gooseberry and sweet pea notes, with a modest finish. Drink now.
Bright and refreshing, this sauvignon offers juicy flavors of lime and pineapple enhanced by generous acidity. Pour it with sushi.
Straightforward punchbowl aromas greet you, and beyond that there's melon to the nose. The palate is decidedly softer and rounder than Cono Sur's higher-tier SBs, while the flavors run toward familiar lemon and green apple. Finishes sweet but comfortable. Perfectly good and competent.
Pale yellow. Spicy pear and green apple aromas are complicated by white pepper and citrus pith. Spicy and focused on the palate, showing sweet orange and pear flavors and gentle herbacity. Tangy and easy to drink, if a bit taut, with good finishing cling.
Chile has become the "go-to" place for awesome valued wines, and Cono Sur is no exception. Notes of fresh-cut grass and a hint of green pepper mixed with lime, grapefruit and other citrus aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied this wine is crisp to its core - I can almost feel the summer breeze while drinking it. The Cono Sur Sauvignon Blanc just oozes freshness at such a fantastic price I could drink it everyday. Yum!
Light straw. Spicy lime and pink grapefruit aromas are complicated by white flowers and quinine. Firm and juicy, with deep citrus and pear skin flavors, light body and a brisk finish. Clean, vibrant and very easy to drink.

Today's Post by Joe Farace
It's Groundhog Day: "Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today."—from the movie of the same name.
Before digital imaging came along, the introduction of new photographic technologies in the film-based world was gradual, with each new product building on and backwardly compatible with what has gone before.
Computer companies, on the other hand, were driven by intense competition and the imperative of Moore's Law. Gordon Moore, one of Intel's founders, predicted that computing power would rise exponentially over time and that "the power of the silicon chip microprocessor will double every eighteen months, with a proportionate decrease in cost." In the world of digital photography that we live in, this translates into camera/product cycles that are measured in months, instead of the years that were previously the norm for developing traditional optical and photo-chemical products.
What this means is that the digital camera you purchased today is quickly replaced with a newer model that produces higher quality images for a lower cost. For many people, this is the single most frustrating aspect of digital imaging. Since this trend is not going to change in 2018, I offer a few words of advice:
Looking for a good book about monochrome photography? Pick up a copy of Michael Freeman's Black & White Photography. My book Creative Digital Monochrome Effects is available from Amazon with new copies under $10 and used copies selling for $3.00 (plus shipping) which has to be one of the best book deals out their for what is my personal favorite book.

Equipment for community recycling and waste-streaming
Angoon, accessible solely by ferry and float plane, is the only permanent settlement in the Admiralty Island National Monument in Southeast Alaska. This community of 700 people is a stronghold of Tlingit culture. People there still rely on subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering for their nutritional needs.
Consumer goods arrive on Admiralty island by barge. Because of the island's isolation, the packaging waste seldom leaves and is threatening this vital environment. In 1998, village students and teachers formed a conservation group, ABARG! With a Seacology grant, ABARG! will buy equipment, such as balers and collection bins, to help the community's recycling, responsible waste-streaming, and beautification efforts.Full or partial funding for this project provided by

Are you grieving or experiencing a loss or illness?
Do you feel like the sadness will never go away?
Do your feelings fluctuate from sadness, anger, and guilt?
Grief is what we experience after a significant loss or calamity. This may include the death of a loved one or a pet, termination of a job, end of a relationship or a life changing diagnosis. Grief and loss can be overwhelming and confusing. There are often overpowering feelings of sadness, fear, guilt and anger.

Just like the Internet itself many years ago, the Internet of Things (IoT) was initially viewed as nothing more than a fad that would have little impact on our daily lives. We know now that this is not true, with some studies revealing that more than 80% of senior executives across industries believe IoT is critical to some or all lines of their business.

We're In This Together
It is hard to believe that we are already more than half way through 2014, which also means I am more than half way through my year as the IEC National President. This is proof that the old saying, "Time flies when you're having fun," holds true. It is difficult to express into words how much of an honor it is to serve such a dedicated and hard-working group of professionals. Like the hundreds of volunteer leaders we have within IEC, I take great pride in our organization. The electrical industry has given me so much, it is now my privilege and responsibility to give back.
IEC members help build America and are a strong component of our economy. We are innovative and efficient workers. Members know their worth and have the knowledge to responsibly project costs resulting in intelligent and accurate bids. These strengths are a benefit to everyone involved in the project and the consumer.
In order to remain a premier association, we must continue to grow our member base. This is one of the aspects of IEC in which I am passionate. It is critical that the current members work to recruit new members to strengthen our organization. Together, we can continue to improve the electrical industry.
Anyone who has met me knows that I am very competitive, which stems from my athletic background of playing basketball and football. I am also a staunch and enthusiastic supporter of my beloved Texas A&M Aggies, which adds to my competitive nature. This has spilled over into my professional career and I now strive to help Joe Swartz Electric to be one of the top electrical contracting companies in the nation.
Despite the competitiveness in my blood, I welcome and encourage other electrical contractors in the Houston, Texas, metro area to join IEC. Our chapter, organization, and industry becomes stronger as we grow our membership. Additionally, if my competitors become members of IEC, I know they are sending their apprentices through the best training and gaining valuable information from the continuing education classes. The improvement of their business forces us to continue to perform at a high level.
The members of IEC are all on the same team. The team that wants a strong economy, high-quality training, and excellence in the electrical contracting industry. In this, we are all competing together.
I encourage all IEC members to promote IEC and tell other electrical contractors about the many benefits of membership. Together we make this industry the best it can be. Together we can make our IEC team strong.
Gordon Stewart is IEC's 2014 National President. As the principal elected officer of the association, Stewart serves as chair to the Board of Directors, House of Delegates, and Executive Committee. He has been in the electrical industry for 35 years and is currently the General Manager at Joe Swartz Electric in Houston, Texas.

Once we receive your completed application, we will look for a host family that suits your needs. When we have your payment for a homestay, we will send a profile of the selected host family.
Your host family is not required to provide transportation. We try to minimise the commute between your homestay and your school/internship location. The bus or train will be the easiest means of travelling to and from your destination. We recommend that your host family assist you with the public transportation in your area. It will be helpful to find the nearest bus stops or train station so you are comfortable with travelling to your destinations.

If you plan on returning home after the given times or will not be home at night, you MUST inform your caregiver that night and get their approval. Your host family must then inform Host Families NZ by the next morning.
Here at Host Families NZ we do our best to find a homestay that you will be satisfied with while you are in New Zealand. Our online application allows you to list your preferences and we will do our best to find a compatible family.
Living in a homestay is a wonderful opportunity to get exposure to a new culture and lifestyle. It is safe, affordable, and convenient accommodation with a family that is familiar with the country. You will have a chance to interact and participate in family activities making it feel like a home away from home. The relationships that you build in your homestay are rewarding and unforgettable.
You may specify whether or not you have special requirements or concerns that need to be considered when we search for a host family. We have numerous host families throughout New Zealand and will provide you with accommodation that meets your requests. If a special dietary requirement (vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free, only Halal food, etc.) or allergy (peanuts, shellfish, soy, etc.) is specified, you will need to pay an extra fee.
If you are not satisfied with your accommodation, you may fill out our Homestay 2 Weeks Notice form and request to transfer to another host family. Keep in mind that it will take two weeks from the date the form is signed and forwarded to Host Families NZ for us to make arrangements in a new homestay. To obtain this form, click here.
New Zealand is a very diverse country with many types of families. For some New Zealand families, a typical meal will consist of cooked meat (lamb, chicken, beef, or pork) with a side of veggies or salad. Also, fish and chips is a common New Zealand dish.
There is no one type of typical host family. Each family listed with Host Families NZ is different and unique, and we welcome all types to apply. Some families may be couples with young children or teenagers, or couples with no children currently living at home, or even a single person. Our goal is to provide a home away from home for every participant staying in New Zealand.
If you select the full board option at your homestay, your lunch will most likely include a sandwich, fruit, and yogurt (or other small snack).
Each family is required to provide the following:
- A fully furnished bedroom
- Bathroom
- Bed linen (sheets, pillow, and blankets) and towels
- Desk and chair
- Storage for belongings (such as a chest of drawers or closet)
- Wireless internet (an additional fee may be charged to the guest if necessary)
- TV in common area
If you would like additional items, you may bring your own from home or inquire with our team.
It is possible that you will be living with other international students during your stay. Some families are able to host multiple participants in their homes due to the availability of rooms, but they will not be of the same nationality unless requested.
Things to Keep in Mind
- New Zealand is a multicultural country with many diverse families.
- Try to participate in activities and outings with your host family.
- It is likely that host families will ask for assistance with chores around the house.

"If the waitress comes back, tell her I'll have the chocolate mousse," I said to George, and set off to find the toilets. We were having lunch in the "Auberge de Gascogne", a cheap and cheerful roadside 'Relais Routiers' in the south west of France. It was a normal day of our holiday, not the sort of day or place I expected anything out of the ordinary to happen.
The sign 'toilettes' pointed along a dim corridor, which sloped down.About twelve yards away I could see light streaming in from the left. As I walked down the slight incline, a strange feeling came over me. I found myself straightening up, taking a deeper breath, throwing my shoulders back a little. A feeling of anticipation stole over me. I recognised it from my small experience of amateur acting - I was getting ready to walk on stage. It was a lovely sensation: I knew I was ready, that I could do my act without any difficulty. Maybe I even felt a bit famous, as though people waiting out there were glad it was me that was coming.
But in no time I was at the end of the passage, turning to my left. And there in front of me was the toilet cubicle, sunlight shining in through frosted glass. My heart fell. As I sat there, I asked myself, why was I disappointed? What had I been expecting? The answer came very quickly from some deep knowing place within me - there should have been sand, and a roaring crowd. I should have been stepping out into an arena. Not the Coliseum, but a smaller version. I had experienced what I later learnt is called a 'bleed-through', a small snippet of a past-life memory. These can be triggered by something in the environment, in my case I think by the angle of incline of the passage, and the direction of the light, which I assume mimicked the passageways under that ancient theatre. I was some sort of performer, not a gladiator, the feelings I had did not suggest that at all. It was more as though I was the warm-up man, and I take some vague pleasure from the idea that maybe in the distant past I could work a crowd!
This is part of an chapter I contributed to "The Undiscovered Country", edited by Bill Darlison

PARADOX (杀破狼·贪狼) Movie Review | by tiffanyyong.com
Recommended Audience: Fans of Louis Koo 古天樂, Gordon Lam 林家栋,Tony Jaa, Wu Yue 吴樾, Chris Collins 克里斯 柯林斯, Michelle Saram 雪兒, Hanna Chan 陈汉娜, Sammo Hung 洪金宝 and action movie fans
PARADOX (杀破狼·贪狼) Movie Synopsis
Hong Kong cop Lee (Louis Koo) goes on a search in Thailand for his missing daughter Chi (Hanna Chan). Thai Chinese police officer Chui Kit (Wu Yue) lets Lee join the investigation, having no idea that Lee is going to use the mass media to hunt for clues. A short clip which accidentally filmed Chi's capture is uploaded to the police website, but subsequently deleted. Chui Kit and colleague Tak (Tony Jaa) tracks down the clip owner, but the evidence is destroyed before they can stop it. The duo begins tracking down the culprit. As they get closer to the truth, they realize that the case is more complicated than they expected, and the mastermind behind the scene is not someone they can deal with…
PARADOX (杀破狼·贪狼) Viewer Rating: 4.5/5 ****
PARADOX (杀破狼·贪狼) Movie Review:
Tiffany Yong: Following the core values of Sha Po Lang, PARADOX, the third installment of the series discusses the value of lives, the changes in the relationships between human, and how they are linked together. We often talked about how the world is small, and I loved how the director expresses the interweaving intrinsic relationships within characters in the most amazing way (To avoid spoilers, think cars at crossroads). This film was full of surprises! The plot was conventional, but rather unpredictable. Leading you through act 1 with an expectation of a cliched story, and then turning on it's heel and heading in the other way.
Tiffany Yong: We all get to see familiar faces, but I was really impressed with how each actor had managed to surpass their previous works and create a deep impression in the film. In case you are wondering, Tony Jaa who starred in the previous SPL2 as a Thai prison guard, cameoed in the film, this time as a police, so they are two different characters. There were many films who throw big names in for the sake of the box office, but screenwriters actually managed to give him a brief but pivotal role in the plot. His exit managed to trigger emotions strong enough to motivate the characters to act in ways that drives the plot towards the climax.
Tiffany Yong: I am not unfamiliar with Wu Yue as a China actor. His past roles might have been good, but forgettable. If Ip Man was Donnie Yen's representation piece of work, PARADOX could easily be Wu Yue's. His character as a Thai-Chinese detective, Chui Kit, seemed like a typical heroic protagonist initially, but the little surprises that came along the way made me wish that he could have more screen-time than Louis Koo. Of course, this would not have been possible with the (successfully) detestable Sacha (Chris Collins) as the swag and inhumane organ-trafficker.
Peps Goh: The action sequences too were unexpectedly stunning, with the choreographer and his team going out of their way to be impressive. Their application of really complex wire-work, that well balances the need to remain believable while being totally "WOW", to garnish an already great fight sequences with epic moments are really applaudable.
That, combined with how this is Louis Koo's first ever heavily combative performance, makes it all the more amazing. A true testament to the choreographer Sammo Hung's sheer prowess in the line. #PlotDefinitelyBetterThanWolfWarrior2
Do You Know?
This is the third installment of the Sha Po Lang series. The production took more than 3 months, and it was filmed in Bangkok, Pattaya as well as Hong Kong.
This is Hanna Chan's acting debut, as Louis Koo's 15 year old rebellious daughter. She is also a model.
It is Louis Koo's first attempt at a proper action flick. In the previous SPL II: A Time for Consequences (2015), he was a sickly evil man, but this time, he turned into a Hong Kong police who's also a loving dad.
It is Gordon Lam's first time acting a role with 95% of the lines in Thai. His greatest challenge came when the director request to change the lines on set, as he would have to relearn and digest every line again, making it sound like a Thai.
All the veteran martial arts actors, including Tony Jaa, Wu Yue and Chris Collins were all trained by action choreographer Sammo Hung. Tony Jaa, who is known for his fast kicks, showcased his 360 degree single-leg jump kick in the film.
Singaporean actress, Michelle Saram, was invited to cameo as Louis Koo's deceased wife after Louis Koo caught a replay of 2000's "At the Threshold of an Era II" (创世纪 Ⅱ 天地有情) on TV where she acted alongside with him.

Saw many familiar faces, I have not watch this movie yet. From your review maybe I watch it this weekend.
hmm i've seen this movie poster around the cinema but it never sparked an interest in me to watch till i read your review
Trailer looks promising. I should try to watch this if ever It comes to my place.
Sounds like an edge-of-the-seat crime thriller! Reminds me of Taken! I hope I can watch it!
Looks very action packed and full of thrilling twists and turns!
Thanx for the great review, I am now hoping it will come our way. I have a very special place for movies and actors from the east.
It looks like a good movie to watch to follow the story of unlocking the culprit and a higher power that pulls the string. This can really get you hooked on the story.
Your review made me very interested to catch this film. The rating is so high. Mentioning "Ip Man" in the poster really sparked my interest a lot! Hope they show it here.
Start a discussion, not a fire. Share your opinions, not your prejudice. Post with kindness.

Final player grades – Matt Duchene – A-minus
2009-10 Season Statistics
GP: 81. Goals: 24.
Assists: 31.
Plus/minus: +1. PIM: 16
PP goals: 10
PP assists: 11. GWG: 2. Shots: 180
Shooting percentage: 13.3
Faceoffs taken: 1,088
Faceoff-winning percentage: 44 percent (479 won, 609 lost)
Wait a minute. How the H-E-double-hockey-sticks does Matt Duchene get an A- and Paul Stastny — who had 24 more freakin' points than him in two fewer games — get only a B? That's what a few of you just said.
Well, because Stastny was graded on a tougher curve than everybody else, including Dutchy, that's why. This was Stastny's fourth full year, he's making the most money, gets the most ice time and therefore he is judged on a higher plane than a guy like Duchene.
Next year and the years to come, Dutchy gets a tougher curve as well.
Until then, Duchene gets the A-, for leading the NHL in rookie scoring and nearly playing a full season as the No. 2 center. For that, he was rewarded with a Calder Trophy finalist designation, and a trip to Las Vegas in July (although from talking to some writer friends around the league who get a vote, it sounds like Tyler Myers is going to win it over Duchene and Jimmy Howard).
Seriously, did anybody really think Duchene would outscore John Tavares this year, or any other? No, 55 points is not a huge year for anybody, and it can be argued that it was a fairly disappointing performance overall by this year's rookie class of forwards. Paul Stastny, let's not forget, had 78 points his rookie year for the Avs.
But, no, it was not a disappointing first year for Colorado's precocious No. 9. Was it an otherwordly, OMG first year? No, but not disappointing. He brought back some excitement and you-can't-teach-that skill to Denver. He embodied the fresh new feel to the team. He's only 19 years old, for goodness sake.
Duchene does have some issues going forward, things he'll need to improve. There were 10 games this year — including the playoffs — in which he was a minus-2 or worse. His final game, Game 6 against San Jose, he was a minus-3. His defense needs to improve, away from the puck. Sometimes, he's a little too high up in the slot defensively, watching the play down low, not helping out enough. There were times this year he seemed too small out there, a little too swallowed up by bigger teams. Maybe I was thinking that at times in the playoffs. But the fact is, Duchene was playing most of the time without his two usual second-linemates, Peter Mueller and Milan Hejduk. That was a a factor in his low scoring output (three assists in six games). He was also playing hurt somewhat, with that "torso" injury.
But Duchene's first year was a success overall. He started off a little slow offensively, not getting his first goal until Game No. 8, in Detroit. He never had a points streak longer than four games (he did that three times), but after a seven-game pointless streak from Nov. 1-17, he never went more than three games without a point.
He led the team in power-play goals (10), and he probably hit double that number in posts. He had to have led the team in that category. Let's also not forget that great shootout goal he scored in Vancouver on Roberto Luongo, which put the team officially into the playoffs.
He's a driven kid who hates to lose, as postgame pictures like this one from Game 6 attest.
Is Duchene a superstar already? No. Will he ever be on a par with a Forsberg, a Sakic? We'll see.
But we do know this about him now: he's a good player and he's only going to get better in the coming years. He's only 19, for goodness sake.
