Tablets like the iPad are changing the way music is made – not only how it's recorded, but how it's released and marketed, too. We look at a genuine game-changer.
In April 2011, an American punk duo named The Ultramods released an album. It was called Underwear Party, and it was a fun little piece of rock music – pleasant, if unremarkable. But while the songs themselves weren't particularly inspiring, there was another reason to take note. Underwear Party was one of the first albums to be recorded and produced entirely on a tablet – in this case, Apple's iPad.
The group's lead singer, Bunny Ultramod, was enthusiastic about the device: "It's entirely artificial, entirely manmade," he said on their website. "And yet it produces credible reproductions of actual instruments. It's the perfect decadent instrument." While their music might not be at the cutting edge, their methods certainly are. The Ultramods are the sharp end of a movement that is rapidly changing the way music is made. Through their accessibility, tablet computers are opening music creation to a whole new generation of artists.
It's Apple's iPad that dominates this movement. Other tablets such as the Blackberry Playbook and the Samsung Galaxy are capable machines, but they simply can't match Apple for ease of use and available apps (over 400,000). Nor have they sold as many – in the same month that The Ultramods released their album, Apple lamented that they'd "only" shipped 4.69 million units of their tablet. So, like it or not, this is a conversation about the iPad.
We'll return to why other companies haven't been able to make headway in a moment. For now, let's make a quick jump to Los Angeles, where a man named Hayden Bursk is in full flow. He's right at the centre of the explosion of iPad music apps: as the director of mobile apps at Sonoma Wire Works, he's responsible for overseeing the development of their trademark software, StudioTrack. This app is a fully featured recording studio, allowing you to record, edit, mix and process audio. When it comes to the question of why musicians have adapted so readily to the iPad, and tablets in general, Bursk has a very straightforward answer: it's almost never turned off.
"When you're ready to go, it's on," he says. "It's lightweight, easy to carry. I think some of the things that make it so attractive for internet and email have carried over onto the creative side of things. That flicker or spark of creativity to make something is fleeting. If you can capture it, if the software can load quickly, it's easy to go, it's just there, that's really attractive."
Alex Lelievre concurs. The developer is also Los Angeles-based (we're not quite sure why so many music app developers are located in California; proximity to Apple's Cupertino headquarters, perhaps) and is the architect of another piece of iPad music software, ProRemote, released for both the iPhone and iPad by his Far Out Labs company. Says Lelievre: "For me, the real catch is that on the computer, you need a mouse. That's a one-finger ordeal. What makes our software really great is that you can use all ten fingers. You can't do that with a mouse. That's the big difference, because using all your fingers is what musicians tend to do all the time."
He's got a point there. The ProRemote essentially turns your iPad into a remote-control mixing desk, linking with your PC or Mac and letting you raise and lower faders from across the room. It's a more technical, staid piece of software than the bright and bursting StudioTrack, but it's still very useful indeed – and it neatly illustrates one of the main reasons why tablets appeal to musicians.
Making music on traditional computer involves many mouse clicks and keyboard movements, not to mention several pauses to raise faders or twiddle hardware knobs. With tablets? It's all there. Right in front of you, with every action a direct result of your touch on a compact surface. It's like playing an instrument. In many cases – such as apps which replicate classic synth or guitar or drum instruments – it is an instrument.
It's a very simple concept which is changing the way that music gets made. Even when they're not making an entire album on it, bands and singers are using the tactile nature of tablets to speed up the creative process. The ability to build the skeleton of a song anywhere, not just in the studio, means that more ideas are captured. They can be turned into songs faster, meaning that an artist can continually supply fans with new material (Underwear Party was made in two weeks – you can make of that what you will). It's cheaper too, meaning more musicians can get in on the action. "The cost of being able to record something as competitive as anything you hear on the radio is now affordable – it's down from 15, 20 years ago," says Bursk. "You don't need to be in a major studio to make something that people want to listen to."
Mixing is faster, too. In most studios, there'll be a "sweet-spot" – a place where the sound coming from the speakers meets to produce the most accurate reproduction, essential for good music mixing. Problem is, this isn't always in front of the mixing desk. But software like ProRemote allows an engineer to sit in the sweet spot and mix remotely, even if it's at the other end of the room. The actual process of mixing is now faster and more accurate.
We don't wish to give the impression that tablets are the be-all and end-all for music hardware. They're not. In many ways, they are enormously unsuited to music production. One major problem that both Bursk and Lelievre had when developing their apps was that the iPad just didn't have enough memory. Its hard drive couldn't handle the amount of tracks they wanted to throw at it.
It works like this. To be really good, an audio file has to be played at the highest quality. A minute of uncompressed, high-quality sound is about ten megabytes in size. Doesn't sound like much? OK, now triple it, for a three-minute track. Now think of every track in a song – 10, 12, 20, 50 different parts, all needing high quality audio. Now think of all the effects you have to apply to them to sharpen and sweeten the sound. Already, you're talking hundreds of megabytes, if not a full gigabyte (a thousand megabytes) of memory. And this is on a device with a maximum of 64 gigabytes of memory – much of which, of course, is already taken up by videos, songs, documents, photos. The iPad – the tablet computer – is not built to handle big audio sessions.
Bursk explains: "You play a sound, you want to process that sound with some effects, and then you want to hear it. You take too long to do that, you're going to have dropouts in your audio. What we do on a computer, we really don't have to worry about taking up too much [processing speed], because computers are so fast. When you start thinking about what you need to do on a tablet like this, it comes down to, well, we can only run a few equalizer plugins and a couple of compressors. Can we afford to have a reverb?"
And then there's that tricky problem of Apple's dominance. Android, Google's otherwise excellent answer to Apple's operating system, is almost ubiquitous on other tablets, but it's so far been barren for music apps – only a few developers have tried their luck, and tablets like the Playbook and the Galaxy have almost no footprint in music studios. Lelievre says that right now it's not worth their while to develop for the system: "The reason that we're not developing for Android is that there are too many devices for us to support. Too many different operating systems, screen shapes, resolutions – it's not practical for companies our size. There's no technical reasons why we couldn't do it, but it would require rewriting a lot of our core code."
And why would they, when music apps on iPad and iPhone are clearly selling well? Sonoma won't reveal their sales figures, but Lelievre says that for his three top products – ProRemote, ProRemote Lite and ProTransport – he's had over 50,000 installs.
But whether or not iPad continues to dominate, tablets may just be the most revolutionary thing to happen to recorded music since MP3s started being downloaded. Although there are few experiments like The Ultramods' album out there – most artists are still using tablets in conjunction with more traditional studio setups, rather than exclusively – these machines are getting bigger, more powerful and easier to use by the day. And the consequences for how we listen to and make music are going to be staggering.

What is today referred to as the Democratic Republican Party did not exist as such under that name.
"The party name which the Jeffersonians used most commonly in self-designation was Republican. Since nearly all Americans professed to be supporters of a republic, Federalists were reluctant to allow their opponents the advantage of this name, preferring to label them as Antifederalists, Jacobins, disorganizers, or, at best, Democrats." (Noble E. Cunningham, Jr., History of U.S. Political Parties Volume I: 1789-1860: From Factions to Parties. Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., ed. New York, 1973, Chelsea House Publisher. p. 240.)
"No precise date can be given for the establishment of the Republican party, for it did not spring suddenly into being, and even those leaders most intimately involved in its formation were not fully aware of what they were creating. The beginnings of what in course of time became the Republican party can be found in the Second Congress in the congressional faction that contemporaries referred to as the 'republican interest.' . . . An examination of roll calls during the Second Congress indicates that a voting bloc was forming around Madison in opposition to another bloc that united in support of Hamilton's program. While only about half of the membership of the House could be identified with one or the other of these factions, two such groups had not been observable in the First Congress." (Cunningham, p. 241)
"As members of Congress defended their legislative records and sought reelection, they took to the electorate the issues and the disputes that had divided Congress, and they tended in their campaigns for reelection to impart to the voters something of the partisanship that was developing in Congress. Thus, the party divisions in Congress filtered down to the voters through the electoral process, and voters came to align along the lines that divisions in Congress had marked out. In this process the congressional factions acquired the mass followings in the county necessary to transform them from capital factions into national political parties." (Cunningham, p. 244)
Though Thomas Jefferson was seen as the primary leader of the emerging Republican Party, his retirement in 1793 would force that mantle back upon James Madison. "Contemporaries referred to 'Madison's party,' and, when Jefferson was put forward for the presidency in 1796, he was recognized as the candidate of Madison's party. Adams's supporters warned that 'the measures of Madison and Gallatin will be the measures of the executive' if Jefferson were elected. Under Madison's leadership, the Republican party in Congress moved from a role characterized largely by opposition to administration measures, mostly Hamiltonian inspired, to one of offering policy alternatives and proposing Republican programs." (Cunningham, p. 246)
"As the country became dangerously polarized, the Federalists, in 1798 with the passage of the Alien and Sedition Laws, used the full power of the government in an effort to destroy their opponents, whom they saw as subversive. The Republicans, forced to do battle for their very survival, were compelled to change their strategy radically. Prior to 1798 they had optimistically believed that the people would repudiate leaders who supported antirepublican measures hostile to the general good of society. By 1798, however, the Federalists' electoral successes and their hold on the federal government seemed to belie that belief. Therefore, the Republicans shifted their focus of attention from the national to the state level. And by emphasizing a more overtly, self-consciously sectional, political enclave strategy, they left the clear implication that state secession and the breakup of the union might follow if the federal government refused to modify its policies and actions to make them more acceptable to opponents, especially Southerners." (American Politics in the Early Republic: The New Nation in Crisis. James Roger Sharp. New Haven, 1993, Yale University Press. p. 12)
"On the national level, Republican members of Congress through their informal associations in the national capital formed the basic national party structure. Many of them lodged together in boarding houses or dined together in small groups where there were ample opportunities to plot party tactics. They kept in close touch with political leaders and party organizations in their home states. In 1800, Republican members introduced what was to become the most important element of national party machinery and the most powerful device for the maintenance of congressional influence of the leadership of the party: the congressional nominating caucus." (Cunningham, p. 252)
"The coming to power of the Jeffersonians in 1801 marked the beginning of the Republican era that saw the presidency passed from Jefferson to Madison to Monroe. When the Virginia dynasty came to an end in 1825, the presidential office went to a former Federalist who had become a Republican while Jefferson was president. But, although John Quincy Adams was a Republican, the presidential election of 1824 shattered the Republican party and destroyed the congressional nominating caucus which had given direction to the party's national structure since 1800. Adams's presidency was a period of restructuring of parties - a transitional period from the first party system of the Federalists and the Jeffersonians to the second party system of the age of Jackson." (Cunningham, p. 258-259).
"During the period from its rise in the 1790's to its breakup in the 1820's, the Jeffersonian Republican party made contributions of major significance to the development of the american political system. It demonstrated that a political party could be successfully organized in opposition to an administration in power in the national government, win control over that government, and produce orderly changes through the party process. In challenging the Federalist power, Republicans were innovative in building party machinery, organizing poltical campaigns, employing a party press, and devising campaign techniques to stimulate voter interest in elections and support of republican candidates at the polls. In the process, it became acceptable for candidates to campaign for office and for their partisans to organize campaign committees, distribute campaign literature, see that voters get to the polls, and adopt other practices which, though subsequently familiar features of american political campaigns, previously had been widely regarded with suspicion and distrust. Many of the methods of campaigning and the techniques of party organization, introduced by the Jeffersonian Republicans, while falling into disuse by the end of the Republican era, would be revived by the Jacksonians. In taking office in 1801, the Jeffersonians led the nation through the first transfer of political power in the national government from one party to another; and Jefferson demonstrated that the president could be both the head of his party and the leader of the nation." (Cunningham, p. 271)

Beginning in 1799, many Federalist papers began to refer to the Republican Party as Democrats or the Democratic Party. This continued throughout the first quarter of the 18th Century until what is currently known as the Democratic Party emerged among the followers of Andrew Jackson in the 1828 Presidential Election.
Republicans were also called by a variety of different terms in various newspapers throughout the period:
Though the Anti-Federalists were not quite the exact same group as the Republicans as they would develop after 1792, there were still some of those who referred to them as such. The term was used by the following newspapers in the following elections:
- Porcupine's Gazette (Philadelphia). October 22, 1798. Pennsylvania 1798 Assembly, Chester County.
- Virginia Gazette (Richmond). April 30, 1799. Virginia 1799 House of Delegates, New Kent County.
- The Virginia Federalist (Richmond). April 26, 1800. Virginia 1800 House of Delegates, Norfolk County.
- Virginia Gazette (Richmond). May 12, 1802. Virginia 1802 House of Delegates, Bedford County.
- Virginia Gazette (Richmond). May 12, 1802. Virginia 1802 House of Delegates, Pittsylvania County.
- The Salem Gazette. May 17, 1805. Massachusetts 1805 House of Representatives, Salem.
Democratic Republican:
Though the term is commonly used today to distinguish the Jeffersonian Republicans from the later Republican Party and because so many of those among the Jeffersonian Republicans eventually became Jacksonian Democrats, this term was extremely rare during the actual period. It was used by the Readinger Adler in the October 27, 1818 edition recording the 1818 county elections in Pennsylvania.
French / War / Warhawk / Jacobin:
Starting in 1798, various Federalist newspapers would refer to Republicans as Jacobins. ("In Newbern district the contest lay between two federalists -- No Jacobin had the effrontery to offer himself." United States Gazette. September 1, 1798.) These references continued through until at least 1810. ("From the Cooperstown Federalist: The election in this County has terminated in favor of the Jacobin Ticket for Assembly. An important revolution has been effected by the most shameful artifices. Never before were the jacobin ranks so completely formed and thoroughly drilled for action. We hope next week to be able to lay before our readers a correct statement of votes, and to exhibit to the world a picture of depravity in the conduct of some of the inspectors of the election which has no parallel." The American (Herkimer). May 3, 1810.)
Beginning in 1810, the Newburyport Herald (MA), began referring to Republicans as the French Party (as opposed to the "American" Party, who were Federalists). This continued in the 1811 elections.
Beginning in 1812 ("In laying before our readers the above Canvass of this county, a few remarks become necessary, to refute the Assertion of the war party, that the Friends of Peace are decreasing in this country." Northern Whig (Hudson). May 11, 1812.) and continuing through 1813 and 1814 a number of newspapers were referring to the Republicans as the War Party (or Warhawk Party, as the Merrimack Intelligencer (Haverhill) of March 19, 1814 used) due to their support of the Madison administration and the War of 1812 (most of these same papers referred to the Federalists as the Peace Party). These newspapers include the Trenton Federalist, the Columbian Centinel (Boston), the Northern Whig (Hudson), the Independent American (Ballston Spa), the Broome County Patriot (Chenango Point), the New York Spectator, the Commercial Advertiser (New York), the New York Evening Post, the Albany Gazette, the Political and Commercial Register (Philadelphia), the Merrimack Intelligencer (Haverhill), The Federal Republican (New Bern), the Freeman's Journal (Philadelphia), Alexandria Gazette, Poulson's, Middlesex Gazette (Middletown), the Raleigh Minerva and The Star (Raleigh).
Jackson / Jacksonian:
With the Presidential election of 1824 split among four candidates who were, ostensibly, members of the same political party, the divisions among the Republican Party began to be apparent.
The phrase "Jackson" or "Jacksonian" candidate was used in nearly every state election in Georgia in 1824 to distinguish between those were were supporters of Andrew Jackson as opposed to the supporters of William H. Crawford. The Maryland Republican (Annapolis) and the Federal Gazette (Baltimore) used the term "Jacksonian" in the Cecil County elections of 1824 (as opposed to "Adamite" or "Crawfordite") and the Allegheny and Butler county election in Pennsylvania in 1824.
The New Hampshire Gazette of March 5, 1816 would refer to the Republican ticket as the Whig Ticket and as being in favor of Peace and Commerce.

My postal packaging is now 100% recycled and recyclable. I pack the earrings in a reusable pouch rather than a box and I don't put packing slips in with your order.
Offsetting deliveries
We purchase carbon offsets for all of our deliveries through Shopify's partnership with Pachama. On top of our couriers own green efforts to get your order to you.
Where possible the solid gold used is recycled and several of my sources are part of the responsible jewellery council.
The story so far
Launched in March 2019 as a "bit of extra pocket money" for founder Abby Summerville. With a background in luxury brand sales and working as a brand consultant for starter and small brands, Abby put her experience gained throughout her career of sourcing and selling globally to good use, and started researching suppliers, makers and artisans from all over the world, from UK to USA, South Korea, Hong Kong and India on a mission to find affordable pieces that meant that the cool and decadent styles weren't just for high ballers, and that she really could offer something for everyone, of every age and pay check which is why a lot of the collection can be bought as singles.
Curated ears are getting more and more popular, with the piercers around the world getting more and more creative, coming up with new ideas, piercings and turning these odd looking things on the side of everybody's face into pieces of art! The more the better!
With Helix & Conch popping up on ears such as Sam Chapman, Myleene Klass, You Magazine editor Jo Elvin and more, plus featuring in Grazia, House of Coco, Hello and Stylist Magazine, things are showing no signs of slowing down and Abby wants to thank everyone for all their support.
From Abby
"When you buy from Helix and Conch you aren't buying from a huge brand: you are buying from me. I'm a down-to-earth working mum of two young boys. I hand pack the orders (although that may need to change soon as it isn't leaving me much time to do the creative side of things!), handwrite the postcards, know the names of my customers and recognise those that keep coming back for more. I hate an impersonal service, so it was hugely important to me that I kept things personal, and even if things get huge, I will do everything I can to keep personal touches."
Helix and Conch metals
How should I store my pieces?
Keep different colour metals stored separately, preferably in the pouch you receive it in!
Can I keep them in when I exercise?
Plated pieces will last over a year if you take them out when showering, swimming etc. Solid gold will just need a buff with a jewellery cloth if it dulls.
Solid or Plated?
If you want to wear your earrings constantly and not worry about tarnishing then solid gold is best. Plating will fade over time and go back to the original silver base colour.

It only takes twenty four hours for plaque that is not removed from your teeth to turn into calculus (tartar)! Daily home cleaning helps control plaque and tartar formation, but those hard to reach areas will always need special attention.
Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line.
In addition to your periodontal cleaning and evaluation, your appointment will usually include:
Good oral hygiene practices and periodontal cleanings are essential in maintaining dental health and keeping periodontal disease under control!
Excellent care from a professional staff!
Family oriented place with great staff! everyone is super friendly and very attentive to your needs. I will never go anywhere else!

John Ely (3-5, 3.86) vs. Matt Cain (6-6, 2.72).
COMMENTS: Which way, L.A.? Sunday's Yankees debacle felt like a turning point in the Dodgers' 2010 season — problem is, I can't tell if it's a spark plug or a white flag. (Hold on a sec while I put another quarter in the metaphor generator.) If last night's Bearded Bombadil is any indication, though, the Dodgers may still have some fight in them yet. (Great timing, too, as a visit to the Bay Area without at least a token victory would have been deflating indeed.) If the Dodgers are to take this series tonight — welcome to Elymania, San Francisco! — they'll have to do it without the services of Jonathan Broxton. And since Hong Chih-Kuo closed it out last night, whence the bullpen? Never a dull moment, people!

Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are lab-made restorations that are placed on teeth when the cavity or lost tooth structure is too large to be restored by a simple filling. The process of making an inlay is very similar to a crown. After the tooth is prepared, it is cemented or bonded to the tooth.
There are different materials that inlays are made of, including gold, porcelain, and composite resins. Porcelain and composite inlays and onlays are cosmetic alternatives to fillings and are very strong compared to regular white fillings. Gold inlays and onlays are also suitable alternatives, but their appearance makes them less popular.
Your dentist will explain when an inlay or onlay is a viable treatment option for you. In general, inlays and onlays can replace most back teeth fillings and are sometimes cosmetically preferred over conventional fillings. At the same time, they are more conservative than crowns.
As far as cost is concerned, because the process of making an inlay or onlay is similar to a crown, its cost is also comparable. But when considering the longevity of inlays and onlays, they can end up costing less than traditional fillings.
If you have any questions about inlays and onlays and you live near us or in the surrounding area, give us a call today!

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
Directives in the configuration files may apply to the
entire server, or they may be restricted to apply only to particular
directories, files, hosts, or URLs. This document describes how to
use configuration section containers or .htaccess
to change the scope of other configuration directives.
Related Modules | Related Directives |
There are two basic types of containers. Most containers are
evaluated for each request. The enclosed directives are applied only
for those requests that match the containers. The <IfDefine>
, <IfModule>
, and
containers, on the other hand, are evaluated only at server startup
and restart. If their conditions are true at startup, then the
enclosed directives will apply to all requests. If the conditions are
not true, the enclosed directives will be ignored.
The <IfDefine>
encloses directives that will only be applied if an appropriate
parameter is defined on the httpd
command line. For example,
with the following configuration, all requests will be redirected
to another site only if the server is started using
httpd -DClosedForNow
<IfDefine ClosedForNow> Redirect "/" "http://otherserver.example.com/" </IfDefine>
The <IfModule>
directive is very similar, except it encloses directives that will
only be applied if a particular module is available in the server.
The module must either be statically compiled in the server, or it
must be dynamically compiled and its LoadModule
line must be earlier in the
configuration file. This directive should only be used if you need
your configuration file to work whether or not certain modules are
installed. It should not be used to enclose directives that you want
to work all the time, because it can suppress useful error messages
about missing modules.
In the following example, the MimeMagicFile
directive will be
applied only if mod_mime_magic
is available.
<IfModule mod_mime_magic.c> MimeMagicFile "conf/magic" </IfModule>
The <IfVersion>
directive is very similar to <IfDefine>
and <IfModule>
, except it encloses directives that will
only be applied if a particular version of the server is executing. This
module is designed for the use in test suites and large networks which have to
deal with different httpd versions and different configurations.
<IfVersion >= 2.4> # this happens only in versions greater or # equal 2.4.0. </IfVersion>
, and the
can apply negative conditions by preceding their test with "!".
Also, these sections can be nested to achieve more complex
The most commonly used configuration section containers are the
ones that change the configuration of particular places in the
filesystem or webspace. First, it is important to understand the
difference between the two. The filesystem is the view of your disks
as seen by your operating system. For example, in a default install,
Apache httpd resides at /usr/local/apache2
in the Unix
filesystem or "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2"
the Windows filesystem. (Note that forward slashes should always be
used as the path separator in Apache httpd configuration files, even for Windows.) In contrast,
the webspace is the view of your site as delivered by the web server
and seen by the client. So the path /dir/
in the
webspace corresponds to the path
in the filesystem of a
default Apache httpd install on Unix. The webspace need not map directly to
the filesystem, since webpages may be generated dynamically
from databases or other locations.
The <Directory>
and <Files>
directives, along with their regex
counterparts, apply directives to
parts of the filesystem. Directives enclosed in a <Directory>
section apply to
the named filesystem directory and all subdirectories of that
directory (as well as the files in those directories).
The same effect can be obtained using .htaccess files. For example, in the
following configuration, directory indexes will be enabled for the
directory and all subdirectories.
<Directory "/var/web/dir1"> Options +Indexes </Directory>
Directives enclosed in a <Files>
section apply to any file with
the specified name, regardless of what directory it lies in.
So for example, the following configuration directives will,
when placed in the main section of the configuration file,
deny access to any file named private.html
of where it is found.
<Files "private.html"> Require all denied </Files>
To address files found in a particular part of the filesystem, the
can be combined. For example, the following configuration will deny
access to /var/web/dir1/private.html
, and any other instance
of private.html
found under the /var/web/dir1/
<Directory "/var/web/dir1"> <Files "private.html"> Require all denied </Files> </Directory>
The <Location>
directive and its regex counterpart, on
the other hand, change the
configuration for content in the webspace. For example, the following
configuration prevents access to any URL-path that begins in /private.
In particular, it will apply to requests for
, and
as well
as any other requests starting with the /private
<LocationMatch "^/private"> Require all denied </LocationMatch>
The <Location>
directive need not have anything to do with the filesystem.
For example, the following example shows how to map a particular
URL to an internal Apache HTTP Server handler provided by mod_status
No file called server-status
needs to exist in the
<Location "/server-status"> SetHandler server-status </Location>
In order to have two overlapping URLs one has to consider the order in which
certain sections or directives are evaluated. For
this would be:
<Location "/foo"> </Location> <Location "/foo/bar"> </Location>
es on the other hand,
are mapped vice-versa:
Alias "/foo/bar" "/srv/www/uncommon/bar" Alias "/foo" "/srv/www/common/foo"
The same is true for the ProxyPass
ProxyPass "/special-area" "http://special.example.com" smax=5 max=10 ProxyPass "/" "balancer://mycluster/" stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On
The <Directory>
, and
directives can each use shell-style wildcard characters as in
from the C standard library. The character "*"
matches any sequence of characters, "?" matches any single character,
and "[seq]" matches any character in seq. The "/"
character will not be matched by any wildcard; it must be specified
If even more flexible matching is required, each
container has a regular expression (regex) counterpart <DirectoryMatch>
, <FilesMatch>
, and <LocationMatch>
that allow
regular expressions
to be used in choosing the matches. But see the section below on
configuration merging to find out how using regex sections will change
how directives are applied.
A non-regex wildcard section that changes the configuration of all user directories could look as follows:
<Directory "/home/*/public_html"> Options Indexes </Directory>
Using regex sections, we can deny access to many types of image files at once:
<FilesMatch "\.(?i:gif|jpe?g|png)$"> Require all denied </FilesMatch>
Regular expressions containing named groups and
backreferences are added to the environment with the
corresponding name in uppercase. This allows elements of filename paths
and URLs to be referenced from within expressions
and modules like mod_rewrite
<DirectoryMatch "^/var/www/combined/(?<SITENAME>[^/]+)"> require ldap-group "cn=%{env:MATCH_SITENAME},ou=combined,o=Example" </DirectoryMatch>
The <If>
directive change the configuration depending on a condition which can be
expressed by a boolean expression. For example, the following configuration
denies access if the HTTP Referer header does not start with
<If "!(%{HTTP_REFERER} -strmatch 'http://www.example.com/*')"> Require all denied </If>
Choosing between filesystem containers and webspace containers is
actually quite easy. When applying directives to objects that reside
in the filesystem always use <Directory>
or <Files>
. When applying directives to objects
that do not reside in the filesystem (such as a webpage generated from
a database), use <Location>
It is important to never use <Location>
when trying to restrict
access to objects in the filesystem. This is because many
different webspace locations (URLs) could map to the same filesystem
location, allowing your restrictions to be circumvented.
For example, consider the following configuration:
<Location "/dir/"> Require all denied </Location>
This works fine if the request is for
. But what if you are on
a case-insensitive filesystem? Then your restriction could be easily
circumvented by requesting
. The <Directory>
directive, in
contrast, will apply to any content served from that location,
regardless of how it is called. (An exception is filesystem links.
The same directory can be placed in more than one part of the
filesystem using symbolic links. The <Directory>
directive will follow the symbolic
link without resetting the pathname. Therefore, for the highest level
of security, symbolic links should be disabled with the appropriate
If you are, perhaps, thinking that none of this applies to you
because you use a case-sensitive filesystem, remember that there are
many other ways to map multiple webspace locations to the same
filesystem location. Therefore you should always use the filesystem
containers when you can. There is, however, one exception to this
rule. Putting configuration restrictions in a <Location
section is perfectly safe because this section will apply
to all requests regardless of the specific URL.
Some section types can be nested inside other section types. On the one
hand, <Files>
can be used
inside <Directory>
. On
the other hand, <If>
be used inside <Directory>
, and <Files>
sections. The regex
counterparts of the named section behave identically.
Nested sections are merged after non-nested sections of the same type.
The <VirtualHost>
container encloses directives that apply to specific hosts.
This is useful when serving multiple hosts from the same machine
with a different configuration for each. For more information,
see the Virtual Host Documentation.
The <Proxy>
and <ProxyMatch>
containers apply enclosed configuration directives only
to sites accessed through mod_proxy
's proxy server
that match the specified URL. For example, the following configuration
will allow only a subset of clients to access the
website using the proxy server:
<Proxy "http://www.example.com/*"> Require host yournetwork.example.com </Proxy>
To find out what directives are allowed in what types of
configuration sections, check the Context of the directive.
Everything that is allowed in
sections is also syntactically allowed in
and <ProxyMatch>
sections. There are some exceptions, however:
works only in <Directory>
work only in <Directory>
sections or
directive cannot
be used in <Files>
and <FilesMatch>
sections.The configuration sections are applied in a very particular order. Since this can have important effects on how configuration directives are interpreted, it is important to understand how this works.
The order of merging is:
(except regular expressions)
and .htaccess
done simultaneously (with
, if allowed, overriding
(and <Directory "~">
and <FilesMatch>
and <LocationMatch>
done simultaneously<If>
Apart from <Directory>
, each group is processed in
the order that they appear in the configuration files. <Directory>
(group 1 above)
is processed in the order shortest directory component to longest.
So for example, <Directory "/var/web/dir">
be processed before <Directory
. If multiple <Directory>
sections apply
to the same directory they are processed in the configuration file
order. Configurations included via the Include
directive will be treated as if
they were inside the including file at the location of the
Sections inside <VirtualHost>
are applied after the corresponding sections outside
the virtual host definition. This allows virtual hosts to
override the main server configuration.
When the request is served by mod_proxy
, the
container takes the place of the <Directory>
container in the processing
sequence performed just before the name translation phase
(where Aliases
and DocumentRoots
are used to map URLs to filenames). The results of this
sequence are completely thrown away after the translation has
One question that often arises after reading how configuration sections are
merged is related to how and when directives of specific modules like mod_rewrite
are processed. The answer is not trivial and needs a bit of background.
Each httpd module manages its own configuration, and each of its directives in apache2.conf specify one piece
of configuration in a particular context. httpd does not execute a command as it is read.
At runtime, the core of httpd iterates over the defined configuration sections in the order described above to determine which ones apply to the current request. When the first section matches, it is considered the current configuration for this request. If a subsequent section matches too, then each module with a directive in either of the sections is given a chance to merge its configuration between the two sections. The result is a third configuration, and the process goes on until all the configuration sections are evaluated.
After the above step, the "real" processing of the HTTP request begins: each module has a chance to run and perform whatever tasks they like. They can retrieve their own final merged configuration from the core of the httpd to determine how they should act.
An example can help to visualize the whole process. The following configuration uses the
directive of mod_headers
to set
a specific HTTP header. What value will httpd set in the CustomHeaderName
header for a request to
<Directory "/"> Header set CustomHeaderName one <FilesMatch ".*"> Header set CustomHeaderName three </FilesMatch> </Directory> <Directory "/example"> Header set CustomHeaderName two </Directory>
"/" matches and an initial configuration to set the CustomHeaderName
header with the value one
is created.Directory
"/example" matches, and since mod_headers
specifies in its code to override in case of a merge, a new configuration is created to set the CustomHeaderName
header with the value two
".*" matches and another merge opportunity arises, causing the CustomHeaderName
header to be set with the value three
will be called and it will receive the configuration to set the CustomHeaderName
header with the value three
. mod_headers
normally uses this configuration to perfom its job, namely setting the foo header. This does not mean that a module can't perform a more complex action like discarding directives because not needed or deprecated, etc..This is true for .htaccess too since they have the same priority as Directory
in the merge order. The important concept to understand is that configuration sections like Directory
and FilesMatch
are not comparable to module specific directives like Header
or RewriteRule
because they operate on different levels.
Below is an artificial example to show the order of merging. Assuming they all apply to the request, the directives in this example will be applied in the order A > B > C > D > E.
<Location "/"> E </Location> <Files "f.html"> D </Files> <VirtualHost *> <Directory "/a/b"> B </Directory> </VirtualHost> <DirectoryMatch "^.*b$"> C </DirectoryMatch> <Directory "/a/b"> A </Directory>
For a more concrete example, consider the following. Regardless of
any access restrictions placed in <Directory>
sections, the <Location>
section will be
evaluated last and will allow unrestricted access to the server. In
other words, order of merging is important, so be careful!
<Location "/"> Require all granted </Location> # Whoops! This <Directory> section will have no effect <Directory "/"> <RequireAll> Require all granted Require not host badguy.example.com </RequireAll> </Directory>

Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents(HC)
Isabel Wilkerson
"As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not."
In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.
Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people's lives and behavior and the nation's fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball's Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.
Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

In 1832, William Winsor and Henry Newton founded Winsor & Newton out of Henry Newton's home in London. Their involvement with the artist community, and interest in painting, spurred Winsor and Newton to create new and innovative artist materials. In 1837, Winsor and Newton introduced Chinese White, an opaque zinc white for watercolor artists. The company was recognized by the Royal family early in its existence, being appointed as artists' colourmen to Queen Victoria in 1841. Winsor and Newton has continued to receive the endorsement of successive Royal Households, beginning with the reception of their first Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1841. This warrant allows them to be styled "By Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales", and to display the Prince of Wales badge of three feathers on their premises, delivery vehicles, stationary, advertisements, and their products. With its long history and continued success, Winsor and Newton takes their ecological footprint very seriously in the 21st century. Only FSC sourced wood is used for all Winsor and Newton brush handles, easels, and canvas stretchers. All the natural hair products come from sustainable sources, and are by-products of other industries. The company has also reduced the amount of water used in their factory, resulting in a savings of 1.2 million litres of water annually. [ visit manufacturer website ] |

Maytag Appliance Repair El Sobrante
Maytag produces some of the very best household appliances in the world, yet even the best household appliances can run into problems from time to time. In order to correct this problem and make sure it is working as well as possible, it is occasionally necessary to bring in a Maytag appliance repair specialist. Regardless of the appliance, it is almost always going to be less expensive to have it repaired than to have it completely replaced. So, there is no need to head out to the appliance store and overspend on a new device when all you need is the assistance of a trained professional
The Sooner the Better
Just because your appliance is still running doesn't mean you should hold off on bringing in the repair specialist. Perhaps your Maytag dryer is starting to make odd noises but it still dries the clothes. It doesn't mean you should just hold off on bringing in the professional until it completely stops working. There are a few different reasons why you should bring the repair professional in now instead of later. For starters, if the equipment still works, it usually is going to be a less expensive repair. In fact, it might just have a loose peace or something remotely damaged. Should you wait for it to completely stop working it most likely means you are going to be looking at a more expensive repair that not only costs more in terms of money but is also more time consuming as well. Why spend more than you half to? It is almost always better to bring in a professional sooner and pay less than to risk it and pay more later on down the road.
All Appliances Run Into Trouble
All appliances run into trouble. It doesn't matter what sort of appliance it is. Whether you run a Maytag washer or dryer, a dish washer, stove top, fridge or anything else of this matter. Eventually, the may tag is going to start to wear down. There really isn't anything else you can say or do about it, other than understand it will happen eventually. Nothing lasts forever, and while Maytag is one of the best appliance brands on the market today, even these show signs of wear and tear once in a while. So, before you run into serious problems, bring in the Maytag professionals sooner instead of waiting around.

American Taboo: A Peace Corps Tragedy
Returned Volunteers met with author Philip Weiss in Baltimore on June 18 to discuss the murder of Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner. Weiss was a member of a panel that included three psychiatrists and a criminal attorney. Meanwhile, the Seattle U.S. Attorney's office announced that Dennis Priven cannot be retried for the murder. "We do not believe this case can be prosecuted by anyone, not only us, but in any other jurisdiction in the United States." Read background on the case here.

June 14: Peace Corps suspends Haiti program
After Uzbekistan, the Peace Corps has announced the suspension of a second program this month - this time in Haiti. Background: The suspension comes after a US Embassy warning, a request from Tom Lantos' office, and the program suspension last year. For the record: PCOL supports Peace Corps' decision to suspend the two programs and commends the agency for the efficient way PCVs were evacuated safely. Our only concern now is with the placement of evacuated PCVs and the support they receive after interrupted service.
June 6: PC suspends Uzbekistan program
Peace Corps has announced that it is suspending the Uzbekistan program after the visas of 52 Peace Corps volunteers who arrived in January were not renewed. The suspension comes after a State Department warning that terrorist groups may be planning attacks in Uzbekistan and after the killings in Andizhan earlier in May. Background: PCOL published a report on April 23 that Peace Corps volunteers who arrived in January were having visa difficulties and reported on safety and visa issues in Uzbekistan as they developed.
Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.

In an Open Auction, buyers bid until the auction ends. The item is then sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction period. There is no reserve price in an Open auction. The seller must sell the item to the highest bidder. Bidding can start as low as the Opening Value (minimum price or starting amount) of the auction. Once the auction closes, email notification providing contact information is sent to the buyer and seller automatically so that arrangements for payment and shipment of the item can be determined.
What is a Maximum Bid?
Your maximum bid amount is the highest price you are willing to pay for an item (subject to shipping and handling fees, plus applicable taxes). When you place your maximum bid amount, your bid will be processed in the designated bid increment amount above the current bid. If you are outbid, the system will automatically place bids for you at the bid increment until your maximum bid is reached. By way of an example, if an auction opens at $10 with a $1 bid increment and you place a maximum bid of $100, your bid will initially be processed at $11. If another bidder places a bid at $12, the system will automatically bid $13 for you and will continue up to your maximum bid amount of $100.

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and sitting upon an ass,
And a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Cleansed the Temple
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
The Barren Fig Tree
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? 26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
The Wicked Husbandmen
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected,
The same is become the head of the corner:
This is the Lord's doing,
And it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
