Rhys Davies Analysis
(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
In the preface to The Collected Stories of Rhys Davies, Rhys Davies says that short-story writers write for love, not money. A short story gives "the release of a day off," while novels are "noisy and dense." Davies says he "dives" into a story's elements in the first paragraph. Middle episodes move quickly and conclude with either a surprise ending or an uncertain resolution.
Wales in the years between 1920 and 1970 is the setting for most of Davies' naturalistic stories; a few have settings in London or on the Continent. However, universal themes emerge: the struggle of the individual for self-determination; youthful idealism followed by disillusionment; frustrated sexual relationships between men and women; greed and guilt that erode the spirit; economic and social restrictions that lock women into poverty, abuse, or outmoded traditions; the realistic, occasionally humorous, effects of death on the living; the power of secrets; and the need for revenge.
Character-driven, many of Davies' stories have real-life connections. He skillfully characterizes coal miners emerging from collieries deep in the earth, their "bodies black with coal dust, their eyes white as marble, and their lips glistening red"; their wives and mothers, harassed by meal preparation and ritual baths; lonely travelers on trains in England and France; women who have "stepped over the line" of propriety and duty; and vengeful women.
Davies' early stories have a somber tone. Later, he interjects wry humor into ordinarily somber situations, such as death and its rituals. For example, in "Resurrection," a woman who is properly "laid out" in her coffin sits up and asks for a drink of water. Her angry sister, who has spent time and money in preparation for the funeral says, "Lie back, thee, lie back. Dead you are." Davies got this idea from "laying out" rituals in Clydach. A few of Davies' stories, such as "The Farm" and "The Revelation," are lighthearted romances.
"The Nightgown"
During Davies' boyhood in the early 1900's, he observed a woman who bought large quantities of groceries on credit at his parents' Royal Stores in the mining village of Clydach. In "The Nightgown," a fictionalized true story, Davies evokes sympathy for this hardworking Welsh woman, locked into her role as servant for her burly husband and five strapping adult sons. Mrs. Rees suppresses her femininity and wears baggy clothing and her son's cast-off cap. Without benefit of praise or affection, she spends her days dutifully cooking and laundering. After laboring in the coal mines, her husband and sons return home to bathe in the kitchen tub, dress in freshly ironed clothing, and consume a huge meal. Then they leave for soccer games or the tavern.
Gradually Mrs. Rees' health declines, but the men never notice as long as good food and clean clothing are prompt. By saving a few pennies each week from household money, she secretly buys a lovely white silk nightgown and instructs her neighbor to "lay her out" in it someday. The end of the story fully reveals the Rees men's callousness. When she dies, they are shocked to see her dressed "like an angel" in the lacy gown, but with their typical lack of empathy they wonder if insurance will cover the gown's extra expense. Then, without shedding a tear, Mr. Rees asks the neighbor if she knows any respectable widows or spinsters who might replace his dead wife.
"The Trip to London"
Davies observed travelers on frequent train trips between London and Wales and also on the Continent. His observations prompted several stories with train settings, such as this suspenseful three-part story about a "black widow" who lures male travelers to their deaths. Davies' description of the woman's expensive clothing and jewelry, her sensual body language, her comment about why women like to shop, and her reaction to a London news story are clues that indicate her motives for...

Tofu Help... What should I buy???
What are the best brands of tofu? And, what are your best recipes for a tofu newbie?
I am new to veganism and excited to try new foods. However, I have not had much luck with tofu. Not sure if I am buying the wrong brands or using strange recipes. Love the veggies, fruits and beans but need advice in the tofu department. Many thanks!
To me tofu is excellent which ever you buy.
Now it might depend on the recipes of whatever it's asking say it's firm tofu etc etc.
Tofu is great if it's made into these recipes:
Tofu egg salad
Tofu sour cream for dips
Tofu mayo
Tofu crabcakes
Tofu fish fillets
Tofu tartar sauce
Fudgicles recipe on Vegweb is good.
Fried chicken I used tofu in this instead. Use the nutritutional yeast instead of leaving it optional
Vegan ice cream recipes. Vegweb has a ton of them.
Tofu cream cheese http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/recipes/tofu-cream-cheese.aspx
Vegan cheesecakes
Tofu cannolis
Generally, there are two kinds of tofu--the Chinese style block ones and the Japanese silken ones. One of the Japanese brands readily available here is Mori-Nu. The good thing about Mori-Nu is that it is shelf stable and easy to transport if you live in a place where access to tofu is difficult. You can firm it up by slicing or cubing it and then freezing and defrosting. Mori-Nu has a website with a lot of tofu recipes--also Akasha Richmond wrote a book a few years ago--The Art of Tofu--with excellent tofu recipes. You can also substitute the Chinese style ones, although for the baking recipes I use the silken blocks. Having said this, I usually use the silken boxes for baking or dessert applications and prefer the Chinese style ones for meals.
Of the Chinese style ones, you can get the ones sold in water at the Asian grocer. You can also purchase them in the grocery store--House and Nasoya are two popular brands. Trader Joe's has its own brand as does Whole Foods. The Chinese style tofu is usually marked as soft, medium, firm or extra firm--this indicates the amount of pressing the tofu has received and its general sturdiness. In my house we prefer the medium tofu since it is sturdy enough to withstand most applications but still has a custardy texture. If I am using it in a recipe that calls for firm tofu then I am sure to press it. Pressing tofu involves putting the tofu on a board layered with dishtowels or paper towels, putting another layer of dishtowel or paper towel on top, followed by another board and then some cans piled on top. The weight of the cans presses water out of the tofu and makes the texture more dense.
There are people who are fans of freezing and defrosting tofu. When the tofu is frozen, the ice that forms changes the texture of the tofu. When defrosted, the tofu has more holes and a chewy texture.
There are so many ways to cook tofu it is very hard to respond with simple suggestions .I think you need to just look around for some recipes you might like and start cooking. I have heard of people substituting tofu for fish in some recipes, but I have never had much success doing so. Since tofu is bland you want to find a recipe that is bold enough to have a satisfying flavor or complements the tofu's delicate taste and texture. Another book I recommend is This Can't Be Tofu by Deborah Madison, which is not vegan (or even vegetarian--I think there's a shrimp thing in there) but about 90 percent of the recipes are vegan and many of them are very flavorful.
Also, if you subscribe to VegNews, I heartily recommend the Spanikopita recipe published a few months ago using a herbed tofu feta that marinated in brine for 24 hours.

Helmet logo causes some controversy for Shorewood-Messmer football
The question of church and state is playing out on the Shorewood-Messmer football field, and come Friday night, the team will have a new logo.
Days after locking up a spot in the playoffs for a second straight year, there's been an audible called on the Shorewood-Messmer uniform.
A parent questioned the helmet logo, and that a greyhound and a bishop's hat with a cross, might violate church and state.
"We're choosing to focus on a different question rather than the question of church and state. What we're really focusing on is supporting our kids," Shorewood School District Superintendent Marty Lexmond with.
Messmer Principal Brother Bob Smith said he was surprised by the school board's decision Tuesday night to remove and redo the team's logo. It was created this past year by a Shorewood graphic design class. He said they'll comply but won't apologize for their faith.
"We have no intention of carrying a crucifix into a public school, so changing that logo is not a problem for us," Smith said.
So with just one regular season game left on Friday, the team will wear a new decal.
"What I understand is that they're working on a design that will be a football that will say WIAA playoffs, 2012," Lexmond said.
Both schools said what they don't want to happen with this changed logo is for anything to change on the field
"We have a football team that has grown a very unique story. It's a partnership between a public school and a private school, a suburban school and an urban school and kids that have really learned the life lesson of working together," Lexmond said.
"One thing people will find is, kids will walk on the football field for practice today, no different than they did yesterday," Smith said.
It cost about $4,000 to change the decal.

Technical Paper
Validation of a Model and Development of a Simulator for Predicting the Pressure Drop of Diesel Particulate Filters
As demand for wall-flow Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) increases, accurate predictions of DPF behavior, and in particular their pressure drop, under a wide range of operating conditions bears significant engineering applications. In this work, validation of a model and development of a simulator for predicting the pressure drop of clean and particulate-loaded DPFs are presented. The model, based on a previously developed theory, has been validated extensively in this work. The validation range includes utilizing a large matrix of wall-flow filters varying in their size, cell density and wall thickness, each positioned downstream of light or heavy duty Diesel engines; it also covers a wide range of engine operating conditions such as engine load, flow rate, flow temperature and filter soot loading conditions. The validated model was then incorporated into a DPF pressure drop simulator.

You have to take your dually somewhere but you can't drive it there. So you get a trailer. Pro tip: Don't load it like this.
These enterprising gentlemen had to get this Ford F-350 onto a trailer, but it wasn't working. So they got a bit of a running start. In the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson, "that's not gone well."
However, they do learn a nice lesson in what not to do in the future. And in the end, isn't that more important? No. No it isnt.

DOVER — Area organizations are working diligently to provide shelter for all those who are homeless, as freezing temperatures are expected to grip the region through the end of the week.
"We're full, but we're full all the time as the reasons for homelessness don't change year round," Chris Sterndale, executive director at the Cross Roads House in Portsmouth, said. "The stakes are higher this time of year. We stretch our capacity a little if someone comes in with no other options."
However, area shelters and city welfare departments say they have not yet seen an influx of people seeking shelter from the cold.
Rochester Welfare Director Todd Marsh, said this is typical, since many homeless in the Granite State avoid traditional shelters.
"For many reasons, some stay in the woods, in vehicles or in places that are not meant to be used as homes," he said. "During the coldest of the cold months, this decision can prove fatal."
Lena Nichols, director of public welfare for Dover, also said she has not had many people seeking shelter.
"Whoever came in, we were able to help, but there haven't been a lot," Nichols said. "However, who knows what it'll be like with another few days of this cold weather."
Eileen Sweeney, homeless outreach specialist for the Community Action Partnership of Strafford County, spent much of her day outside, going around to area homeless individuals of whom she is aware and trying to convince them to find shelter.
"In the Seacoast area, even those who choose to live outside want shelter this time of year," Susan Geier, community services and outreach director at Community Action Partnership, said. "This kind of weather is life threatening, and we try to help in any way we can."
Geier noted local shelters are always bursting at the seams and when they don't have space her organization helps people with bus tickets or rides to shelters in Manchester or Concord.
"I'm confident that we can find reasonable shelter for everyone, as we do year round," Marsh said. "It's fortunate that many people avoid homelessness because caring and dedicated people exist — shelter workers, neighbors and others."
However, he and others stressed homelessness is an ongoing issue for many.
"People are drawn to this kind of story during cold weather, but I see it all year long, in January and July," Marsh said. "Homeless exists because mental illness exists, because a struggling economy exists, because unaffordable housing exists, and because as humans we have the ability to make poor life choices."
In addition to helping those without shelter, Community Action Partnership offers fuel and electrical assistance. Geier encourages anyone in need to call and apply, even if they have a job, because they may be eligible to receive funding to stay warm.
Cross Roads House and My Friend's Place in Dover are Seacoast area shelters that accept walk-ins throughout the year. Bill O'Connell, Director of My Friend's Place in Dover, did not respond to a request for comment.
Many will work to open temporary shelters if the cold spell remains. The Salvation Army Church at 36 Olde Farm Lane in Rochester stayed open Wednesday night as a warming shelter, according to Capt. Frank Nataluk. He said that they would be watching the weather to see if they would be open following nights.

On Dongles
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NEXT
It really does.
Does this have to do with that chick who did that thing cause those guys made that joke about that thing or something? If so, I didn't see the connection, then again, I'm half asleep.
Well...that IS what I imagine female gamers look like.
Also, there is nothing wrong with fan service. Keep it up.
ToastedCorpser4Lunch...I will end you for taking my position in the number of posts. Mark my words
Oddly enough, I understood that better than Math class.
I think it's about the new Machinima show. Where they spank strippers or something for being bad at Guitar Hero.
I would be careful about talking about her, she is a member of the forums and likes to report people who say unkind things about her. So if you say unkind things you will get slapped with calling another escapist names and being inpolite and such.
EDIT: On the OT so I dont get slapped with another low content post for not talking much about the original post; Yay, yet more sexism stuff a couple of weeks out of date, just what the escapist needs!
From this perspective it looks more like Zone of the End her's.
That fourth panel. Wow hilarious.
MMMMMMMMMM that one sexy ass all right-You should do more strips like this Desu
The title obviously does, but the comic seems more like a reference to that GDC party.
I always wondered what kind of people plays Dwarf Fortress.
Well, maybe not directly, but then it's not totally unrelated.
Anyway, that last panel was just fantastic.
I think Cory just wanted an excuse to draw lady butts. haha XD
Masochists and madmen. ;)
Also. Butts. Booty booty booty booty.
I approve of this fan service!
But this does'n't really happen does it?
I remember that, she lost her job in the end as well.
"Testosterzone" -- my new favourite word!
Pretty sure it's not, because Grey learned of that show only yesterday, if I'm not mistaken. I think Cory and him are good, but not that good to put out a strip in such a rather short amount of time.
I enjoy both spanking strippers and Guitar Hero. The thought of combining those two things has never occurred to me. However, now that it has brought to my attention I can see how those things would be a natural fit. Now if you will excuse me I'm off to go buy a paddle and see about hiring a few strippers for the evening.
So is this about that woman who got those guys fired over a dongle joke?
They work on them days in advance when all is well, yeah. This is probably related more to the story that a female developer had of rampant chauvinism in the industry/at the cons, as well as real life stories of how fucking surreal and pandering press events are (an RPS reporter, Cara had a tale of sitting around on chairs made to look like gold teeth while discussing BDSM with a Far Cry 3 Developer)
For those who don't know, this is about that conference party recently (think it was an IGDA conference) that brought out a bunch of dancer in what looked like a semi-professional environment for no apparent reason other than to have dancers.
Dwarf Fortress?! I would call her a freak and storm out.
Cory, you are a natural.
At the Yetizen party last year:
"I am not a believer in black and white issues about body image and sexism. I think it's all a continuum, you'll always find people more extreme than you in any direction, and context is very important. That said, I think the women wearing only body paint from the waist up at a games industry party, literally on the arm of one of the founders of the company, sends a very destructive image. "
It seems like it really does happen :(
Its a reference to that but also to the various after parties at recent conferences (including by Mojang) where there were rather underdressed dancers, who quite obviously weren't conference attendees. Mojang's excuse was that they were hired by the venue, not them.
I am not suggesting it makes it okay (because it was a really stupid idea), but they were dancers, not strippers, and it was at a party, not the conference itself.
Is this another prude USA thing? as in the UK our shopping centre's (malls to you I believe) have strippers during the day all the time and people of all ages just accept it I've never seen women when with there children show any offence anyway.
We have strippers in our malls? Since when?
I'm sure they have a lot of collage tuition fees to pay
Err have you been smoking some "special" tobacco? I have never even heard of strippers in shopping centres, could you provide some sort of proof? I know its hard to tell the difference between Essex girls and strippers but Essex girls don't take of their clothes in public until they have had at least 3 hours of drinking time.
Really? My mistake then.
Correct, they weren't strippers, and they were dressed in "yeti" costumes that were fairly demure (unlike the Wargaming party, where they were barely dressed). In the case of the IGDA party, it's still considered a professional event as many designers uses such GDC events to network, pursue job leads, etc.
it is about what you think it is.
thats it!

Love and Wonder
Frank Freeman recommends Socrates Meets Hume by Peter Kreeft.
The Father of Philosophy Meets the Father of Modern Skepticism
by Peter Kreeft
Ignatius, 2010
227 pages, $12.95
To order: ignatius.com
(800) 651-1531
I studied philosophy under Peter Kreeft, so reading this book was like going back in time to sit in the classroom again.
Which is a good thing, because Professor Kreeft was always challenging, rigorous, honest and humorous. Philosophy under his guidance was exciting: to unfold the basic tasks of human beings; to try to find out why things are the way they are; to love wisdom, which is what the word philosophy means. And that love, he said, quoting St. Augustine, begins in wonder.
Wonder is not something David Hume wrote much about. He was an 18th-century English philosopher who seems to have refuted just about everything he could: the idea of a self, the validity of general ideas, the possibility of miracles and even the notion of causality, that we can know one thing causes another. The only thing he did not consider refuting, as Kreeft points out, was his own refutations.
A philosopher once said that the problem with so much of modern philosophy is that it is "self-referentially inconsistent." It tears down everything but itself. It is like the character in the cartoon sawing off the branch he is sitting on and then the tree falls away as he sits content on a branch in the middle of the air. The only problem being that life is not a cartoon.
Kreeft examines Hume's inconsistency through the conceit of a Socratic dialogue. The idea is that Hume has died and meets Socrates in the antechamber of heaven. The philosophical questioning begins immediately, intertwined with the very nature of language itself, showing just how basic philosophy is.
Socrates asks, "David Hume, is that you?"
Hume answers, "I . . . I think so."
"You're not certain?"
"I always was skeptical of that little word, 'certain.'"
"In fact, you were even skeptical of that other little word, 'I.'"
"True. I denied the existence of a substantial self."
Kreeft uses this dialectical method throughout the book not to demolish Hume's arguments so much as to probe them, to point out both their strengths and weaknesses.
Kreeft's love of wisdom is apparent in his introduction: "I will never forget my first exposure to Hume," he writes. "We had to read Hume over vacation week. We took this great skeptic very seriously, because we were more concerned with finding the truth than with finding an A, and Hume deeply disturbed us because we could not refute his arguments, yet could not accept his skeptical conclusions. For if we did, what would become of philosophy? What would become of science and common sense and religions and morality and education and human knowledge in general? The whole process of liberation from the cave of ignorance would be merely another cave."
Read Socrates Meets Hume if you want to find your way out of the cave of skepticism, guided by a philosopher who takes skepticism more seriously than a lot of skeptics themselves. Read it to remind yourself that the love of wisdom begins in wonder.
Franklin Freeman writes from Saco, Maine.

All in the family: To all the gays who loved before....
"I can't go that far; that's the year 2000! Negroes [and whites], okay. But that's too far!"–President Richard Nixon on gay marriage, speaking in August 1970; quoted in John Ehrlichman, Witness to Power
No one knows the names of the first gay couple to exchange wedding vows. You should keep that in mind as same-sex marriage becomes law in New York: The earliest milestones on the road to marital equality were made quietly, privately, and far from any civil authority. The public recognition of gay unions emerged gradually, reaching wider and wider circles until finally even governments started climbing aboard.
Contrary to the rhetoric you still hear from some of the idea's opponents, gay marriage was not cooked up in some D.C. laboratory and imposed on America by social engineers. It was built from the ground up, and it was alive at a time when the typical social engineer thought homosexuality was a disease. Members of the same gender have been coupling off for centuries, sometimes with ceremonies that look rather marital to modern eyes.
In America, gay marriages predate the modern gay rights movement. Six years before Stonewall, the editors of the 1963 book The Homosexual and His Society: A View from Within described informal gay weddings where "all the formalities of [a] legally certified and religiously sanctioned ceremony are aped with the greatest of care." Those unions didn't always last (the authors noted that it "sometimes takes no more than a week or two" before the lovers "recall that their marriage has no legal, religious, or moral sanctions" and take off), but as the resilience of the term longtime companion suggests, a match between two men or two women could be as lasting and loving as any heterosexual coupling.
As gay life became more visible, so did those permanent partnerships, and as social tolerance of homosexuality grew, more people accepted the partners' marriages as real. In 1992, long before any state recognized gay marriage as a legal right, Suzanne Sherman could fill a big chunk of a book by interviewing gays who had married and officiants who had blessed their unions. Such marriages were eventually honored by institutions outside as well as inside the gay community. By 1993, the list of companies that allowed domestic partners of the same sex to share benefits included Microsoft, Apple, HBO, Warner Bros., and Borders. By 2007, gay couples who wanted to get married at Disneyland were free to purchase the Fairy Tale Wedding package.
The numbers on public support for gay wedlock show a slow but steady surge of support for the idea. A decade and a half ago, according to Gallup, just 27 percent of Americans thought gay marriage should be legally recognized. This year the figure was 53 percent.
It is often suggested that this sea change reflects the fact that more Americans know people who are openly gay. While I don't doubt that that's a major factor, I think another change is important too: More Americans know people who are openly gay and married.
If you mentioned gay marriage to the average American three decades ago, he would have thought you were making a joke or spouting a science-fiction scenario. (Indeed, three decades ago the science-fiction comedy Airplane! 2 included an apparently married gay couple as a throwaway gag.)
Today, gays living as married are a part of everyday life, whether or not those unions have been licensed by the state. If you're an American, there's a reasonable chance that you've met a committed, cohabiting gay couple, and whether you like the duo or not it should be hard to see them as a threat to the sanctity of marriage. After all, they want to get married. That isn't necessarily true of the cohabiting straights who live next door. The gay couple may even want to have kids– and with restrictions on gay adoption falling away, that option is ever more possible.
And so a social institution took hold: first among gays themselves, then in the larger community and marketplace. Finally the government took notice. Judges started upholding gays' right to wed each other, then legislatures began to come around.
In many places, the foes of gay marriage have pushed back through ballot initiatives, a path that isn't open to them in New York. But even where a public referendum is possible, it's probably just a matter of time in most states before the votes against same-sex marriage just won't be there. As Jeffrey Lax and Justin Phillips recently pointed out in the American Political Science Review, it's the youngest American adults who show the strongest support for gay marriage. The strongest opposition is in the demographic that will be next to die off.
So I give credit to the legislature of New York, which just made life easier for gay couples who want to adopt a standard marriage contract. But even more than that, I give credit to the couples themselves, and to all the couples who came before them. They're the ones who started this revolution rolling.

The mansion was purchased by Paul Monea (of the Taebo informericals) and was seized shortly after by feds who are investigating Monea for a money laundering scheme. By then the property was already deserted and he paid only $1.3 million dollars.
As of right now the Monea family owes in excess of $231,000 from 2007 to be collected in 2008.$41,138.75 is the total due for 2007. The taxes apparently have not been paid in about 5-6 years. The house was listed on eBay by either Monea or Mr. Tyson back in 2005 for $3 million. The house is currently appraised at $2.3 million.
The Moneas are unlikely to ever pay their back taxes so it is waiting for the IRS to claim the property and auction it off at some time in the future.
The 60 acre property is located in a remote area of Ohio in Southington. It features a 10,000 square foot house with five bedrooms, an indoor pool and overdone bathrooms. It's well appointed with white tiger stripe carpet, gold plating and boasts a large facility for lions that Tyson used to keep as pets. He once bragged he'd spar with them to keep in shape.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Far from the rest of the world and close to paradise, Easter Island is well known for its extinct volcanoes, pristine beaches and the enormous stone statues called moais that attract thousands of international visitors each year. Situated more than 2,000 miles to the west of mainland Chile, the small island is a 70 square mile speck in the Pacific Ocean.
The island is home to a Polynesian culture that dates back at least 1,700 years. In 300 AD, the first migrants arrived on the island, bringing with them a long cultural history preserved in myths and legends that are still being handed down today. The island's 5,000 inhabitants have a rich heritage based on their native language, festivals and traditional songs and dances.
The first European to arrive at Easter Island was Jakob Roggeveen, who landed on Easter Sunday in 1722, giving the island its name. However, the natives call the island Rapa Nui, Te Pito o Te Henua, which means "the navel of the world." In 1888, Policarpo Toro took possession of the island in the name of the Chilean government, and today it belongs to the country's Valparaíso region.
Easter Island provides many outdoor adventure options. Snorkeling and scuba diving, surfing, sailing, kayaking, horseback riding and trekking are all common activities on and around the island, which was formed by volcanic activity centuries ago. Visitors can easily access the island's three extinct volcanoes, where they can hike down to the lagoons and lush vegetation nestled in their craters. The largest volcano is called Maunga Terevaka (1722 ft) and the other two are called El Poike (1154 ft) and Ranu Kau (1063 ft).
Rapa Nui is considered by some to be the world's largest outdoor museum. It was declared a National Park in 1935 and a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005.
Archaeological attractions
There are close to 900 moais scattered throughout the island, along with a number of other interesting archaeological sites. The journey through these sites is an excellent opportunity to come into contact with the magical energy that emanates from Easter Island.
Even today these places hold a special significance for the local community so it is recommended that visitors pay the greatest respect to the rules at each site. The locals ask people not to climb the ahus and moais and not to touch the rock carvings.
Rano Raraku: Here you will find a hiking trail that leads to the moai factory, a rock quarry containing almost 400 statues in various stages of construction. The statue-making enterprise seems to have been abandoned suddenly in a puzzling mystery that continues to baffle archaeologists.
Ahus: There are approximately 300 platforms or altars called ahus, scattered throughout the island, most of which are at least partially destroyed. The most important ahu sites are Vaihu, Akahanga, Heki'i, Raai, Te Peu and Vinapu, where visitors can see the remains of everyday human settlements complete with houses, caverns, stoves and henhouses.
Tahai-Ko Te Riku Complex: This site in the town of Hanga Roa contains stone houses, chicken coops, ceremonial sites, three moai platforms (Tahai, Vai Uri, Ko Te Riku), and a jetty built entirely of stone.
Ahu Huri A Urenga: This site near the town of Hanga Roa has a single statue that looks toward the spot where the sun rises on the day of the winter solstice. This astronomical event marks not just the beginning of winter, or Tonga in the Rapa Nui language, but also a number of prohibitions and taboos surrounding fishing and other island activities
Ahu Akivi: This is an archaeological complex with seven statues gazing toward the sunset over the sea. According to tradition, these seven moais represent the first Polynesian explorers who arrived on Rapa Nui after being sent out by King Hotu Matu'a. The Agu Akivi site was restored in 1960 by archaeologist William Mulloy.
Ahu Ature Huki: Located on Anakena Beach, this site has an anthropomorphic statue that is believed to be among the oldest on the island.
Ahu Nau Nau: This site has seven well-preserved statues featuring details that are impossible to make out on other moais, such as tattoos. A moai from this site is currently on display at in the Easter Island Museum.
Caverns and volcanoes
Easter Island has many interesting geographical landmarks for the avid trekking enthusiast, including a number of fascinating caverns. The most popular caverns are Ana Te Pahu and Ana o Keke. Ana o Keke, which means the Cave of the Virgins, is a site that Rapa Nui brides used to visit in preparation for marriage. The cavern is located on the north face of Poike Mountain and can only be entered by crawling on your belly. Ana Te Pahu, on the eastern side of the island, has four large chambers that were used as rooms and ossuaries.
The popular hike to Rano Kao Volcano is a full day excursion through eucalyptus forests until ascending to the crater and climbing down the inside to explore. Today the crater mouth is filled with native and introduced vegetation and unusual stone carvings. A second, less popular route to the volcano's summit passes through a series of cliffs on the volcano's north side.
Anakena and Ovahe: These are the only sand beaches on the island. Anakena is the main beach and with its sand, palm trees and warm, turquoise waters, it is a patch of paradise. Near the beach are two restored ahus and some camping sites. The smaller Ovahe beach is located to the east of Anakena.
Surfing beaches: The main surfing beaches of Rapa Nui are Hanga Roa, Vaihu and Tahai. Hanga Roa has ideal waves for beginners and the island's natives have been mastering waves here for centuries on a special type of body board called a haka nini. Vaihu has beautiful tubes. while Tahai gets the biggest waves on the island.

The Relevance of the Application of the Neural Approaches in the Premature Detection of the Banking Difficulties: Case of Tunisia
We propose in this study to test the relevance of the use of an early warning system (EWS) for banking difficulties in the Tunisian case. This model is based on the use of a multilayer neural network with a back-propagation algorithm. From a sample of 18 Tunisian banks, we try to establish the different ratios of the financial health of banks, extracted from CAMEL rating system. With a good ranking percentage obtained for the total sample of more than 93%, we conclude that neural networks are found to be robust for the prediction of the fragility of the Tunisian banks.

FreeBSD 7.0 has already been released. If you are a real hacker, the best way to jump in and learn it is hacking together an introductory kernel module. In this article I'll implement a very basic module that prints a message when it is loaded, and another when it is unloaded. I'll also cover the mechanics of compiling our module using standard tools and rebuilding the stock FreeBSD kernel. Let's do it!
Getting Started
There are some prerequisites for this article. I assume you have a little bit of C programming knowledge, though nothing too fancy. If I reference a pointer or a structure, I expect you to understand those concepts without much explanation. I also expect you to be familiar with UNIX-like operating systems and know your way around basic shell usage.
The first thing to do is make sure the development environment you'll be working in includes everything and is configured properly. I'm going to assume you already have FreeBSD installed and running. If you don't, and would like some guidance, you can read my article: Secure emails servers with FreeBSD. I'll be doing a few things differently; so, I would recommend just using it as a resource for the installation, which is identical in both scenarios.
You will also need to make sure the
sudo utility is installed and configured for your main user account. This is required to run as "root" the utilities
kldload and
kldunload. The FreeBSD port for
sudo is in
cd /usr/port/security/sudo
make install && make clean
su to root and run the
visudo utility. Visudo uses the
EDITOR environment variable to determine which text editor to use. If you don't like the default one, override it with
setenv EDITOR vim if you are using the default CSH, or
export EDITOR=vim if you are using bash. Then simply re-run
The visudo utility does basic sanity checking on the syntax and makes sure no two people edit the sudoers file at the same time.
# Look for this line, copy it and change the "root" user to your main users name.
root ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL
yourabi ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL
Your first kernel
As I mentioned in my recent article Review of FreeBSD 7.0, the ULE scheduler brings a new level of performance and multi-processor scalability to FreeBSD. Though it is now considered stable and ready for prime-time, it will not be enabled by default until the 7.1 release. A good litmus test of your setup will be compiling a custom kernel with the ULE scheduler enabled.
If you are on an x86 based machine, the kernel is located in the
/usr/src/sys/i386 directory. For amd64 machines, simply replace i386 with amd64, which becomes
/usr/src/sys/amd64. The kernel configuration file is located in a directory called
conf. Enter that directory and create your own custom kernel configuration file by copying the "generic" default configuration to one of our own naming.
cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
cp GENERIC CUSTOM
Now it's time to enable the new ULE scheduler. The new ULE scheduler brings improved performance and scalability compared to the legacy scheduler and also serves as a good demonstration of building and installing a custom kernel.
Open the "CUSTOM" file with your text editor of choice and find the line enabling the legacy 44BSD scheduler and replace it with
ULE. In the stock kernel configuration file this should be around line 30 (at the time of this writing).
options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler
options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler
Now build your new kernel and reboot so it takes effect. FreeBSD has an elegant, simple build system using the standard "make" utility. Simply change directories to the source tree and invoke the make file with the "buildkernel" and "installkernel" targets. If you call them without any parameters, the
GENERIC (default) kernel will be built and installed. Since you want your custom kernel, pass in the
KERNCONF flag with the name of the target kernel. In this case, it will be the name that you just copied the generic kernel to:
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF="CUSTOM"
make installkernel KERNCONF="CUSTOM"
Congratulations! As the system boots up, it will run the new custom kernel with the ULE scheduler enabled. You have now verified that you are able to compile and install a kernel, so it's time to take on your next task: writing a simple kernel module.
When running FreeBSD in VMWare make sure to lower the kernels timer frequency
Note: If you are running FreeBSD in VMWare there is one very important performance tweak to make to your system to follow this article. The kernel's timer frequency needs to be lowered from '1000' to '100' ticks per second. Edit
/boot/loader.conf with your favorite editor and add the following line.
echo kern.hz=100 >> /boot/loader.conf
Kernel Hello World
As you may have noticed, FreeBSD makes efficient use of the make utility for building and installing kernels (and the rest of the operating system). What you may not know yet, but will come as no surprise, is that the FreeBSD developers have also developed make files to ease part of the difficulty of kernel module development.
An in depth look at make files and the make utility are beyond the scope of this article. However, two points of immediate relevance are the
bsd.kmod.mk make file and the ability to include other make files within each other.
bsd.kmod.mk makefile resides in
/usr/src/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk and takes all of the pain out of building and linking kernel modules properly. As you are about to see, you simply have to set two variables:
- the name of the kernel module itself via the "KMOD" variable;
- the source files configured via the intuitive "SRCS" variable;
Then, all you have to do is include <bsd.kmod.mk> to build the module. This elegant setup lets you build your kernel module with only the following skeletal make file and a simple invocation of the "make" utility.
The Makefile for our introductory kernel module looks like this:
# Note: It is important to make sure you include the <bsd.kmod.mk> makefile after declaring the KMOD and SRCS variables.
# Declare Name of kernel module
KMOD = hello_fsm
# Enumerate Source files for kernel module
SRCS = hello_fsm.c
# Include kernel module makefile
.include <bsd.kmod.mk>
Create a new directory called
kernel, under your home directory. Copy and paste the text above into a file called
Makefile. This will be your working base going forward.
Creating a module
Now that you have a clue about the build environment, it's time to take a look at the actual code behind a FreeBSD kernel module and the mechanisms for inserting and removing a module from a running kernel.
A kernel module allows dynamic functionality to be added to a running kernel. When a kernel module is inserted, the "load" event is fired. When a kernel module is removed, the "unload" event is fired. The kernel module is responsible for implementing an event handler that handles these cases.
The running kernel will pass in the event in the form of a symbolic constant defined in the
/usr/include/sys/module.h (
<sys/module.h>) header file. The two main events you are concerned with are
MOD_LOAD and
How does the running kernel know which function to call and pass an event type as a parameter to? The module is responsible for configuring that call-back as well by using the
DECLARE_MODULE macro.
DECLARE_MODULE macro is defined in the
<sys/module.h> header on line 117. It takes four parameters in the following order:
name. Defines the name.
data. Specifies the name of the
moduledata_tstructure, which I've named
hello_confin my implementation. The
moduledata_ttype is defined at line 55 of
<sys/module.h>. I'll talk about this briefly.
sub. Sets the subsystem interface, which defines the module type.
order. Defines the modules initialization order within the defined subsystem
moduledata structure contains the name defined as a
char variable and the event handler routine defined as a
modeventhand_t structure which is defined at line 50 of
<sys/module.h>. Finally, the
moduledata structure has void pointer for any extra data, which you won't be using.
If your head is about to explode from the overview without any code to put in context, fear not. That is the sum of what you need to know to start writing your kernel module, and so with that, "once more into the breach dear friends". Before you get started, make sure you are in the same
kernel directory where you previously created the
Makefile file. Fire up your text editor of choice and open a file called
First include the header files required for the data types used. You've already seen
<sys/module.h> and the other includes are supporting header files.
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
#include <sys/kernel.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
Next, you are going to implement the event_handler function. This is what the kernel will call and pass either
MOD_LOAD or
MOD_UNLOAD to via the
event parameter. If everything runs normally, it will return a value of 0 upon normal completion. However, you should handle the possibility that something will go wrong and if the
event parameter is neither MOD_LOAD or MOD_UNLOAD, you will set
e, your error tracking variable, to
/* The function called at load/unload. */
static int event_handler(struct module *module, int event, void *arg) {
int e = 0; /* Error, 0 for normal return status */
switch (event) {
case MOD_LOAD:
uprintf("Hello Free Software Magazine Readers! \n");
case MOD_UNLOAD:
uprintf("Bye Bye FSM reader, be sure to check http://freesoftwaremagazine.com !\n");
e = EOPNOTSUPP; /* Error, Operation Not Supported */
Next, you're going to define the second parameter to the
DECLARE_MODULE macro, which is of type
moduledata_t. This is where you set the name of the module and expose the
event_handler routine to be called when loaded and unloaded from the kernel.
/* The second argument of DECLARE_MODULE. */
static moduledata_t hello_conf = {
"hello_fsm", /* module name */
event_handler, /* event handler */
NULL /* extra data */
And finally, you're going to make a call to the much talked about
DECLARE_MODULE with the name of the module and the
hello_conf structure.
DECLARE_MODULE(hello_fsm, hello_conf, SI_SUB_DRIVERS, SI_ORDER_MIDDLE);
All that is left to do is build the module. Double check that you are in the same directory as the module's makefile you saw earlier and run:
Loading and unloading the module
To load the module, you have two options: the
kldload utility or the load make target via the
<bsd.kmod.mk> makefile. You must use both options via the "sudo" utility as loading and unloading modules requires root privileges.
sudo kldload ./hello_fsm.ko
# or #
sudo make load
You should see the message "Hello Free Software Magazine Readers!" on your console. To view all loaded modules, use the
kldstat utility with no arguments.
kldstat does not require root privileges and you can verify that the module is indeed loaded.
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 8 0xc0400000 926ed4 kernel
2 1 0xc0d27000 6a1c4 acpi.ko
3 1 0xc317e000 22000 linux.ko
4 1 0xc4146000 2000 hello_fsm.ko
To unload the module, use
kldunload or the unload target in the
<bsd.kmod.mk> make file. You should see the message printed on the
MOD_UNLOAD case, which is "Bye Bye FSM reader, be sure to check http://freesoftwaremagazine.com!"
sudo kldunload hello_fsm
sudo make unload
There you have it, a basic, skeletal kernel module. It prints a message when loaded and a separate message when being unloaded from the kernel. This article covered the mechanics of building, inserting, and removing the module. You know have the basic building blocks to take on more advanced projects: I would recommend looking at writing a character device writer as it is probably the next simplest device driver.
I hope this has been as much fun for you as it has been for me!
