Kia ora, Hello, this is my first tutorial. I was looking through some of the tutorials and noticed that there were some Ta moko or Maori designs that looked more like tribal. They were awesome designs but lacked the concept of maori art. In this tutorial I will be showing how to do the basics of Ta Moko. But before I start, Ta Moko is an ancestral art of mine and comes from the maori people of Aotearoa also known as New Zealand. Ta Moko consists of mainly a life stream (two lines down the middle), koru and kowhaiwhai. If you can master the art of kowhaiwhai, Ta moko will become alot easier to do. With each design of Ta moko has its own little story behind it. This tutorial is the basic and I will try and do some more difficult ones in the future. Here I will be showing you how to draw a Mangopare (hammerhead shark) representing strong willed and determination to the wearer.

'World's Largest' Chicken Fried Steak Served in Fort Worth
FORT WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth restaurant is boasting the biggest, baddest breaded beef in the world: a four-pound slab of top round, that, after being coated in panko crumbs, deep fried and slathered in cream gravy, weighs about ten pounds and packs a whopping 10,000 calories.
The Cowtown Diner started serving the "Full O Bull" platter when it opened in January. Since then, the restaurant has dished up about 15 orders of the bovine behemoth complete with sides: six pounds of mashed potatoes and ten slices of Texas toast.
How many fat grams are packed in such a preposterous meal?
"We were afraid to calculate that," said Scott Jones, owner of the Cowtown Diner. "We also didn't want to figure out the Weight Watchers points."
So who eats this thing? According to Jones, just about everyone.
"Couples, groups of four," he said. "I had a table of six college guys try one the other night, and they had to take the rest home in a doggy bag."
If you're brave enough to tackle the $70 mammoth meal by yourself, you'll get it for free. You don't even have to eat it in a certain time limit. You just have to eat it all: steak, potatoes, gravy and toast.
So far, Jones said, no one has swallowed the challenge.
But everyone enjoys the spectacle. The "Full O Bull" must be ordered 24 hours in advance so the chefs can procure the special cut of beef. Preparation takes a full 45 minutes.
And everyone in the restaurant knows if you've ordered it: not only is the colossal cut of cow served on something resembling a pizza pan, its delivery to your table is accompanied by the entire wait staff parading through the restaurant with cowbells and musical triangles.
The Cowtown Diner is at 350 Main St. in downtown Fort Worth, Texas.

Talk:Arch package guidelines
This article needs to be updated to the new PKGBUILD.proto by those who have the power to do so! --Svenstaro 05:05, 18 August 2010 (EDT)
In the Packaging Standard paragraph, it would be more useful in this sentence 'You should also see the PKGBUILD and makepkg manpages.' to send people to their repective wiki pages instead of the manpages. --Magikid 12:26, 26 November 2009 (EST)
What encoding (ascii ? UTF-8 ?) should be used for text files in submitted packages ? --Airbag 13:43, 15 August 2006 (PDT)
I hope you didn't change my addition because you thought I was bullshitting the name of the document and section number I got that from, because it was quoted straight from a developer's documentation of that name, and from that section. Righto, carry on, just curious... --Neotuli 09:40, 15 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Added PKGBUILD prototype from CVS. Apparently many people don't even know there's a template hence the varying substandard pkgbuilds being submitted to the AUR. Also moved the etiquette subsection to the top since it contains more important information. tardo 22:32, 23 June 2007 (EDT)
The only section currently NOT included in the Creating Packages entry is everything below 2. Additional Guidelines. That can easily be merged in. Rcoyner 14:28, 26 Sept 2008 (EDT)
Shouldn't the License section be updated to reflect that the licensing system is in place and ready for users? Also, should the MIT license fall under the BSD exception? --WillySilly 14:52, 12 Apr 2006 (PST)
Arch_Packaging Standards#PKGBUILD Prototype Shouldn't the url be prepended to the package name? Does not work for me without.--Tantalum 17:17, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
Shouldn't we suggest using SHA1 hash and not the already broken one (MD5)? Tomato 15:47, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
Proposed revision
A couple of grammar problems/formality (and one occassion where a command shouldn't be used as root):
- Changes in bold, subs. in strike.
- Ignore the rest of the markup/heading changes.
Also, no abbrev. suggested (it's=it is), and less bold fonts.
Packaging Standards
The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Exception to this strict rule may only be packages having extra features enabled and/or patches in comparison with the official ones. In such
an occasion, the pkgname array should be different to express that difference.
When building packages for the AUR,
you should adhere to the package guidelines below, especially if you would like the intention is to contribute a your new package to Arch Linux.
PKGBUILD Prototype
Should really tell the user that prototypes are in /usr/share/pacman from the pacman and abs packages. Maybe also a newpkg (pkgtools) mention.
# Contributor:

Package Etiquette
Do not introduce new variables into
your PKGBUILD build scripts ...
The AUR cannot detect the use of custom variables and so canno ... This can most often be seen in the source array, e.g.:
file, or alternatively by exporting the PACKAGER environment variable before building packages with makepkg:
$ export PACKAGER="John Doe@email"
The above example is taken from the wine package in extra. The optdepends information will automatically be printed out on installation/upgrade.
from pacman 3.2.1, so one should not keep this kind of information in .install files any longer.
Package Naming
Version tags may not include hyphens. Letters, numbers, and periods only.
the package will be re-released to the AL (???) public and
Use /etc/{pkgname}/ where {pkgname} is the name of the package
Makepkg Duties
When makepkg is used to build a package
for you, it does the following automatically:
depending on which architectures it can be built on.
You can also use State 'any' for architecture independent packages.
The license array is being implemented little by little in the official repos, and it should be used in AUR packages as well.
You can Use it as follows:
- If the source tarball does not contain the license details and the license is only displayed on a website for example, then
you need tocopy the licen...
- Add 'custom' to the licenses array. Optionally,
you canreplace 'custom' with 'custom:"name of license"'.
When pacman gets the ability to filter on licenses (i.e., make pacman download only GPL and BSD licensed software") dual (or more) licenses will be treated by pacman using 'or', rather than 'and' logic, thus pacman will consider ...
Submitting Packages to the AUR
The submitted PKGBUILDs MUST NOT build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Exception to this strict rule may only be packages having extra features enabled and/or patches in compare to the official ones. In such an occasion the pkgname array should be different to express that difference. This gets repeated word for word in #Packaging Standards
To ensure the security of pkgs submitted to the AUR please ensure that the md5sum values have been correctly filled. The md5sum's can b...

your packages. namcap will tell you warn about bad permissions, missing dependencies, un-needed dependencies, and other common mistakes. You can install the namcap package by...
Don't use replaces in a PKGBUILD unless the package is to be renamed, for example when Ethereal became Wireshark. If the package is an alternate version of an already existing package, use conflicts (and provides if that package is required by others). The main difference is: after syncing (-Sy) pacman immediately wants to replace an installed, 'offending' package upon encountering a package with the matching replaces anywhere in its repositories; conflicts on the other hand is only evaluated when actually installing the package, which is usually the desired behavior because it is less invasive.
One can easily build a tarball containing all the required files by using makepkg --source. This makes a tarball named $pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel.src.tar.gz, which
you can then be uploaded to the AUR.
Additional Guidelines
Be sure to read the above guidelines first-- important points are listed on this page that will not be repeated in the following guideline pages...

Can SE add an option to fix the height of the
edit-preview DIV? It currently makes the page grow very long with large code blocks. It would be useful if there is a checkbox that will toggle between
- current auto-sized faithful preview; and
- sizable DIV with a handle just like the edit textarea
This will make it easier to work with editing in split top/bottom screen mode seeing both at the same time. As it stands, it is impossible to see the full preview of long posts without scrolling to the bottom each time.
Here's a case in point - MySQL query - possible to include this clause? - please try editing it
and at the same time attempt to maintain coherency between edit/preview, but please, don't make any changes :)
Possibly related to
- Question and preview might be better side-by-side
- Could the change from an edit be displayed in a side-by-side display
Never considered this, but
popular demand raises an interesting point about not-so-enlightened users.
It's another option that will increase confusion, especially when people switch it on expecting their posts to remain in fancy scrollable boxes after they hit "post."
I think it would work nicely as a privilege... if only to separate users who will use this sensibly (and thank SE each time they do), and those lower-rep/near-anonymous users who may remotely get confused.

Cherry Hill: A sucking sinkhole
Despite Finance Committee assurances to Town Meeting that our lackadaisical golf course would produce "a small surplus for FY 11," (ended June 30) Cherry Hill scored yet another losing season costing Amherst taxpayers $40,000, money that could have funded a police officer, firefighter or teacher--a far better use for tax dollars than subsidizing the Rich Man's Game of golf.
According to draft figures provided by Comptroller Sonia Aldrich, Cherry Hill generated $223,538 in revenues on "operation expenses" of $220,140 which are the only two figures town officials ever wish to compare.
Since Cherry Hill requires employees, the hidden human costs--employee benefits--which are paid out of a separate budget totaled an additional $25,230; and business liability insurance $3,300 plus a big ticket capital item: $15,000 to dig a new well to feed the expensive irrigation system. Total overhead of $263,670 on revenues of only $223,538 equals $40,132 in red ink.
In 1987 Amherst absorbed the nine-hole golf course after a developer proposed 134 high-end houses around the golf business, which he planned to donate to the town or UMass Stockbridge School of Agriculture for free. Instead, the town--at the urging of North Amherst NIMBYs-- used the power of eminent domain as an "emergency measure" (thereby making the heavy handed action immune to voter Referendum) costing taxpayers a whopping $2.2 million, the most expensive acquisition in town history.
The golf course operated as an "Enterprise Fund" (tracking all revenues/expenditures) because the business was supposed to cover all expenses--including employee benefits--plus show a profit. After operational losses of over $1 million Town Meeting dissolved the Enterprise Fund status five years ago, allowing town officials to hide costs and issue disingenuous press releases touting "net operating profits."
Nero supposedly fiddled while Rome burned. In the People's Republic of Amherst, town officials fiddle with golf--at taxpayers expense.

The rich man's game? It is when the only choice is one of the town's private clubs. None of the people I play with or know that play at Cherry Hill are rich. But we are taxpayers. As someone with no kids it's nice to have a recreational service for us, as I'm many decades to old for soccer. However, we are not too old to pay taxes. This is not S. Hadley. They are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Thanks to good management, Cherry Hill is low cost in the recreation budget of the town. Kendrick Park, Grof Park all cost money and take maintenance. They also preserve open space, just like Cherry Hill, and bring enjoyment to town citizens and others. Hooray for Cherry Hill. A bargain at twice the price.

Spoken like someone with something to gain by keeping the status quo.
It would be cheaper for the town to provide vouchers for folks who actually live in Amherst (unlike the average CH season pass holder) to help defray the cost of joining Amherst Golf Course or Hickory Ridge--both businesses that, unlike Cherry Hill, actually pay property taxes to the town.
Open space does not necessarily have to be a golf course or soccer field (both of which rely on chemicals.)
- July 15, 2011 at 3:59 PM
anon 3:31pm...Amherst does not have a private club...the public can golf at Amherst CC or Hickory Ridge...BTW both are hurting for membership...the golfing ship has sailed....
- July 15, 2011 at 6:44 PM
In the banana republic that is America, the middle class can't afford to play golf.
- July 15, 2011 at 7:59 PM
And the cost of Hickory Ridge and Amherst Golf Course is the same as Cherry Hill? Not even close. Then it is a rich man's game.
Look, the town has tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball and softball diamonds, football fields, hiking trails, picnic areas, parks with fountains, and on and on. All of which are part of providing a wonderful place to live, and none of which are atypical for a town to have. There are 16,000 public/municipal courses in the US. Cherry hill is no big deal.
This is a town that spends preservation money to buy a brick house that's in front of a mansion.
Anyone who has ever stood at the top of the 7th whole at Cherry Hill and marveled at the wonderful view knows it is worth every penny.

The same view you got back when Cherry Hill was a cow pasture (which is a lot cheaper than a golf course to upkeep).
- July 15, 2011 at 8:52 PM
You want to see money wasted in excess on recreation, study how much time the DPW puts in grooming the Stan Ziomek field at the high school. Sometimes I think I live next to Fenway Park when I see those town employees spend an entire day grooming the infield.
And how many days during the season are they doing that?
- July 16, 2011 at 8:26 AM
Anon 3:31
Cherry Hill is no Ledges
Also, the hundreds of thousands you speak of are for the purchase of the land. They do five times the revenue and operate only double in the red compared to Cherry Hill.
Anything in the red is unacceptable.
- July 16, 2011 at 8:49 AM
What a silly comment. It wasn't a cow pasture when it was up for sale, it was a golf course.
- July 16, 2011 at 9:13 AM
Baseball- yet another of the sacred cows. How much do they spend on grooming- not to mention the scoreboard? Right that was a "private"' donation. Yet across the field, the softball team had to raise money to get the infield skinned and have protective fences put up around the dugouts after years of pleading with the town to do it. But there wasn't any money for that. I guess if Stan had daughters ......
- July 16, 2011 at 11:22 AM
Maybe someone with daughters should take the same intrest in softball as Stan did in Baseball....

Larry, thank you for taking our picture on the 6th green at beautiful Cherry Hill. Due to health issues we are unable to use soccer fields, baseball fields,or even go walking through cow pastures. We are, however, able to enjoy outdoor recreation and stunning vistas with the use of golf carts. We are exercizing and improving our quality of life by golfing. We are not "rich" but feel enriched by the golfing experience at Cherry Hill.

Randy Ruiz, has now been out of the lineup 8 times in the last 10 games and only one guy-Cito Gaston knows why.
I find it frustrating, since Ruiz has shown he can hit and would be a great dh. Who cares he's 31, Millar's 38 today. Play Snider in right, Lind in left and Ruiz DH. What the worst that can happen-we lose the game-who cares. If Lind can't play left, then put Ruiz at 1st base, short stop, anyplace, but get his bat in the lineup every single game left and lets see if he can continue to produce. Putting him in 2 times of 10 games only guarantees his failure.
Ruiz at DH, along with Snider, Hill, Lind, Encarncion and hopefully Dopirak give us 6 guys next year who have potential to hit 30 hr's and drive in tons of runs, next year. What's wrong with that-it only looks like it might make us competitive with the Yanks.
For Christ sakes Cito, wake the hell up and smell the roses, the number of games we win between now and the end of year doesn't matter. You're the one who begged for fans to come out to the games, well try putting the right damn lineup out there once in a while instead of the same old paper clipped one each game like you do now and maybe fans will attend. All you're doing now is guaranteeing us fans more of the same next year-and guess what-look at the standings, it isn't working.
So to Randy Ruiz-here's a suggestion……. Take Millar for dinner, buy him a couple of drinks and get him to share that picture he has on someone who keeps penciling him into the lineup. Once you get it use it like he does.
No Ruiz in the lineup again for tonight. We play Chavez-not Phillips, Bautista, not Ruiz and neither Chavez or Bautista are likely to be with us next year. But yet we leave Phillips and Ruiz on the bench. WHY??????

This is the ninth installment of Sunday Dinners, a biweekly column from our own Tom Hirschfeld featuring his gorgeous photography, stunning Indiana farm, and mouthwatering family meals.
Today: Tom gets into a tight spot with some bees -- but makes the most of his situation with a honey granola tart.
"Crazy-drive, Dad, crazy-drive," both girls yell in unison from the back seat of the car.
So in the soft yellow light of a warm spring morning, I do. I weave the car back and forth, fishtailing and tossing gravel from the drive into the tall prairie grass all the way up to the bus stop. If it wasn't so fun, it would be an offense to the quiet of first light.
In the back seat they crash and fall into each other, laughing.
It has become a ritual of the long gravel drive. There is not a time when we set out to go somewhere but that Vivian or Lynnie yells this out as we leave. We do it to get to the bus stop, to go check the mailbox, or on our way to the grocery.
I don't always oblige. I like the element of surprise, and sometimes I answer their calls of wild abandon with excuses about how "the car can't take it" or "we have groceries in the back."
The routine is that Vivian goes to the bus stop, after which (and only on Tuesdays and Thursdays), Lynnie is dropped off at preschool. On preschool days, after Vivian gets out of the car and onto the bus, it has also become habit for Lynnie to tell me she has to go to the bathroom. She wants an extra bit of crazy driving all to herself. Inevitably, we head back up the drive on a bathroom run.
It is on one of these bathroom trips that I see the black ball.
Plain as the day is long, there on the same apple tree as two years ago sits a swarm of bees.
"Not today," is what I think to myself. I have too much other work to do. But then I know without a doubt that this swarm of honey bees is the royal party to my best queen, ever. I can't let her be whisked off to some tree in a woods far, far away.
Bees, for those who don't know, swarm in the spring. Usually around Mother's Day. A swarm is how a hive propagates -- to me it is a sign of hive health but to others it is a catastrophe.
When a hive becomes overpopulated, the worker bees will take a couple of cells and convert them into queens. The new queen stays behind and the old queen leaves to find a new home. More often than not, she takes about a third of the colony with her for the trip.
The big worry is that neither hive will grow fast enough in time to survive through the winter. Beekeepers don't like it because the hive will be too small to produce excess honey for the keeper to harvest. Many beekeepers try to manage swarm behavior, which needs to be done well in advance; if the bees make a decision to swarm it is too late to do anything.
Still, with the exception of getting Lynn to school, everything else is going to have to wait.
I have nothing ready. I am totally disorganized, but not so much that I can't pull something together in order to make the bees comfortable. A couple extra frames of honey, some frames with drawn out honey comb for the queen's new eggs, and some frames that are empty to give the workers something to build upon.
This should be a simple operation. At the orchard, I pull a wagon up close next to the apple tree then take the lid off. I gently bend the pliable young branch loaded with the bees down a little in order to get everything into position. Adjusting the wagon, I pull the branch down further this time. When it is close to the empty hive body, I give the branch a short jerk and the entire ball of bees falls into it.
Well, that is what should have happened. Instead, I missed the target. The sound of the swarming bees is as loud as the spinning prop on a biplane.
The only bee I care about getting into the hive is the queen. I have no idea if she is in there but I will know in the next half hour: because she is emitting pheromones like crazy, worker bees will cluster around her immediately.
It turns out that I missed.
The queen is now under the wagon. The huge cluster of bees is there too, hanging from the axle.
After two more attempts, I still have not got the queen into the hive. I decide three is either a charm for me or else the bees' lucky day -- I'd rather let the queen go then accidentally kill her. I place the hive on the ground, lift the front wheels of the wagon over, and then brush all the bees into the hive using a paintbrush. This time, I get the queen.
As I pick up the hive to put it back in the wagon, I am just getting ready to pat myself on the back when I feel the beekeeper's nightmare.
There is a bee crawling up my leg on the inside of my pants. My options are few and all I hear in my head is, "Crazy-drive, Dad, crazy-drive!"

I am software developer and attended both the RMAF and CES. I personally use a computer based server (Windows XP Pro) which haa 2 hard drives in a mirrored configuration (RAID 1). I rip all my music using Exact Audio Copy to FLAC. I like EAC because it interfaces with AccurateRip which provides a level of confidence that my rips are bit for bit accurate. I use the Sonos connected via ethernet CAT 5 cable. It then hooks to an external DAC (Benchmark DAC1) via digital COAX. Even though the Sonos has quite high jitter, the Benchmark reclocks the data. I am very happy with the sound through my Apogee Duetta Signature speakers.I like the Sonos' user interface (which is software upgradable as new features are developed) and I also like the Sonos' features like the wireless capabilities and also the access to Internet radio stations.I find most of the music servers out there to be quite expensive and seem to offer little over what I have(?). I am interested in quality reproduction and also convenienc
CES 2008: Year of the Music Server
But sometime last year, perceptions changed. Here we are at the 2008 CES and music servers and related products are popping all over the Venetian and at THE Show.
And then there were the surprising online poll results this week.
We asked in our Vote this past week if you are ready for an audiophile music server, and the response and number of comments have been overwhelming. A whopping 32% of you already have a server of some kind set up, and 44% are ready to jump in. We received more votes in this poll than any other in 2007!
Other than a small group of forward-looking, old-school audiophile companies such as Linn and McIntosh already shipping product, the manufacturing side has yet to develop in any significant way. Which means that most audiophiles are cobbling together all manner of systems, whether it centers on iTunes, Sonos, Transporter, Squeezebox or a home-brew PC/Mac and DAC ensemble.
Magico even built a one-off server for their demo room just so they'd have a source for their collection of hi-rez audio files. We suggested they think more seriously about it as a product instead.
The variety of approaches to creating a hard-disk–based music system was mind-boggling, and will likely lead to a bit of confusion in the short term.
Some products are basically a DAC with various wired and wireless connectivity options but no hard drives for actually storing music (you add those yourself). Some add a CD drive. Others include the hard drives, but not much connectivity. Others are aimed only at iPod owners (docks). Some are made for those with iTunes libraries. Some can't sync with an iTunes library. And some are audio-only devices and some include video. The permutations of features seem endless.
Companies like Sooloos demonstrated a complete stand-alone audiophile solution that focuses on the interface. I was surprised not to see other companies follow Sooloos' lead with a graphic touch screen. Seems to me this is the obvious way to go for anyone with a large collection of music, who doesn't want to have a TV on all the time to choose their tunes. Their software is intuitive (for me at least) and is a blast to use.
But at this time, the Sooloos systems do not include access to music streams, iTunes, Web radio, hi-rez audio, or anything other than a CD loaded on the hard drive via the built-in slot. The company hints this will change in the future, but for now, think of it as a replacement for a CD library and player and add the other streams elsewhere.
There are companies like Lyngdorf, Kaleidescape and Naim, who have created servers sporting graphical interfaces used primarily with a button remote control and a switched-on TV. This will be an obvious choice for a movie-based system, but not so handy for music. I find it very awkward having to turn on the TV to navigate these kinds of setups through large music libraries while using a button remote. Adding a Crestron-type touch screen, where possible, is one way around this issue.
On a slightly more traditional note (if traditional is even the right term here at the frontier), T+A's new Music Player comes complete with the ability to manage several digital sources including streaming radio, music servers, and even a turntable (via the analog inputs) from a single chassis which includes a CD tray. Construction is superb, and just might be the ticket, though once again it comes supplied with a button remote, so accessing a huge library of choices is a daunting task.
In a similar vein, PS Audio had a work-in-progress prototype of its Memory Link and Hovland a prototype of a very similar product, both of which can either play discs or rip them to a media server. Like the Hovland, the PS Memory Link runs Linux and the company says it will handle metadata (album art and info) for whatever you run through it and uses a small display on its front panel.
Wadia demonstrated the first iPod dock (the iPod is, after all, just a compact music server) that takes the iPod's digital stream straight out and into a preamp or the DAC of your choice. Shanling was showing a product that your iPod rests in, complete with tube amps and fancy metal work.
These docks seem more like temporary bridge products to get those that are iPod-centric into better audio. But with these, you have to control your library on the little iPod screen, and the capacity for uncompressed storage is, of course, limited.
And if you have an iPod loaded with music, that means you also have iTunes on a computer somewhere.
Which leads us to the clever companies like Resolution Audio who have figured out that Apple has already put millions of dollars into developing iTunes, the iTouch and its attendant hardware and software, so why not leverage those into the audiophile living room.
Resolution's method for doing this is ingenious, and gets my nod for best overall approach for those who already have large iTunes libraries. But once again, though much better than buttons, I find access to a huge pile of music through an iTouch touch screen remote a bit cumbersome. But very cool and relatively affordable.
And lest we forget, both Microsoft and Apple see all of this activity and are trying to jump into the living room with more gear and software. Apple already aims its Apple TV player and Front Row software at the media server customer, while Microsoft was handing out copies of its Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? parody children's book.
Should be an interesting year indeed.
"No doubt "music servers" will come on because of convenience(though personaally I think if you are not willing to go to the trouble to put on a CD you do not deserve to hear the music!)." - TAS reviwer Robert E. Greene commenting on the TAS issue #177 article on Music Servers.From Message #18953 at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/regsaudioforum.
The idea of putting my music library on a server is the most exciting thing I've seen in audio in a long time. Still, I find that handling it all through my computer is the easiest way to go since I can control all the software and audio sources with my mouse. I'm not excited about using a little display like on some of the components shown. If I don't have a stack of discs to look at any more, then I need a way to control everything easily. My iMac is the best way I've seen to do this so far.
Further to Jon's comments about the Naim servers, I would like to clarify one thing about our user interfaces; Whilst a display,TV, or touchscreen can be connected directly, we have also employed a web browser interface. This means any web capable device (touch screen or not) can be used to navigate the GUI. What's more, our servers from NS03 on up, will also have a touchscreen mounted inthe front panel for direct control.
hmmm, didn't i give a keynote about this years ago at the stereophile show when i was CEO of gracenote? i said the transport would disappear. i also said in many cases, the sound quality is superior. no one really believed me. ahhhhh. redemption.(just when i bought a turntable!)
Chris West: Thanks for adding the info about the Naim touch controllers - looking forward to seeing those next time.David Hyman: I remember that keynote - many of us were right there with you. What I am noticing now, however, is the big change we sense in our industry and readers (and some of my fellow writers). A lot of audiophiles equated a media server/iTunes with lo-rez MP3 files. This perception shifted over the last year, and I'm astonished at the difference in tone in the emails I now get from readers - and the response in our Vote last week. It also doesn't hurt that we can now get a terabyte of disk space (to store 2000-3000 lossless CDs) for under $300.As I am fond of saying: the mass market selects, and then audiophiles perfect. One thing I didn't anticipate is how much fun it is to rediscover my music library via a music server type system. And it now sounds good too.
RE: A lot of audiophiles equated a media server/iTunes with lo-rez MP3 filesThat's a really sad observation. I never thought the definition of an audiophile is a person who doesn't RTFM? Maybe some small percentage of audiophiles = luddite. When looking at iTunes years ago you could see the choices of how to import. I chose lossless and never looked back.I'd like an article describing in greater detail how the exact same DAC can be sold in a case for $300 and $3,000. Maybe time for a double blind test if you're brave enough
The reviewer forgot to mention one exciting new product coming from the "old" YBA : the YBA DESIGN all in one solution (YS201) with a 500Go audio and video server, incredible GUI, 2 zones, DVD with 720 upscaling, 24/192 upsampling + 3 additional digital inputs, bult-in database, ipod synchro...And more : a built-in AM/FM tuner and 2x50W stereo amplifier (not a digital amp, a mosfet one) !Everything in just ONE (beautifully designed) single box for less than 5K ! Get a nice pair of speakers an ipod touche and you are done !

Buttermilk Honey Bread
I'm going to attempt to keep this post super short because I really must be studying for my finals (sewage, pools, soils, environmental assessment, hydrogeology, intro to environmental health). I'm also super behind on my blog reading but will eventually catch up. My finals are scheduled pretty close together so I'm not sure if I'll be updating again before I'm done (on the 10th). So I shall leave you with this supremely delicious buttermilk honey bread which is possibly the best white bread I've ever had. Do you not want to just slide down those beautiful little mounds in the braided loaf?
The thing I love most about this bread is that it's a good solid/dense bread. Not dense in a bad way at all - it's like the pound cake of white bread. Mmmm. And the dough is really easy to work with - I do not enjoy sticky doughs. PLUS you can use up that extra buttermilk in your fridge that you have no idea what to do with. Why don't they sell buttermilk in 500 mL cartons? At least not here. We have to buy 1L and I think I've only once found a use for all 1 L of it.

Buttermilk Honey Bread
Adapted from Annie's Eats who adapted it from Rosa's Yummy Yums from The Bread Bible
Yield: 2 loaves (rectangular or free form)
(Ashley note: I made one 8"x4" loaf and one 8" braided wreath.)
3/4 cup warm water (105-115F)
1 tbsp. instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, warmed to take off the chill (or brought to room temperature)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp honey, warmed until runny
1 tbsp salt
6 – 6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (Ashley note: I used a total of 818 g.)
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the water, yeast, sugar, buttermilk, butter, honey, salt, and 4 cups of the flour. Mix on low speed just until a dough has formed. Switch to the dough hook. Continue mixing on low speed, adding the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until a smooth dough is formed that clears the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading on low speed until dough is smooth and elastic, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 60-75 minutes.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently punch it down. Grease two loaf pans (if using). Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape as desired. (To shape into a braided wreath, follow the instructions below.) Cover the loaves lightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise until fully doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
To make a braided loaf (from Annie's Eats): Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (a silicone rolling mat works well), divide it in half, and then divide each half into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 18" log. Working with three logs at a time, make a braid, pinching the ends together. Coil the braid into a lightly greased 8" or 9" cake pan, shaping it into a wreath-like circle and pressing the ends together where they meet. Repeat with the remaining logs.
Twenty minutes before you want to bake the bread, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Center a rack in the oven. Just before putting the loaves in the oven, brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with topping, if desired. Place the pans on the center rack and bake about 45 minutes, rotating 180 degrees halfway through the baking time. If the tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Remove the loafs immediately to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing.

NEW YORK — Eight-year-old Brooklyn boy Leiby Kletzky and the man arrested for his murder were together for more than 12 hours after the child went missing, according to a transcript of the suspect's alleged confession obtained by NBC New York.
Police and volunteers began looking for Kletzky late Monday afternoon after he disappeared while on his way to meet his mother in the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Borough Park after attending a day camp. It was the first time the boy had been allowed to leave the camp on his own, sources told NBC New York.
In the 450-word alleged confession, suspect Levi Aron claimed that Kletzky had asked him for a ride to a book shop, but then "changed his mind and wasn't sure where he wanted to go."
"So I asked if he wanted to go for the ride — (a) wedding in Monsey — since I didn't think I was going to stay for the whole thing since my back was hurting. He said OK," Aron said, according to the transcript.
"Due to traffic, I got back around 11:20 p.m. ... so I brought him to my house thinking I'd bring him to his house the next day," he added. "He watched TV then fell asleep in the front room. I went to the middle room to sleep."
'I panicked'
The next morning, Aron said, the child was still sleeping "when I was ready to leave."
"So I woke him and told him I'll bring him to his house ... when I saw the flyers I panicked and was afraid," he said. "I was still in panic ... and afraid to bring him home. That is when I went for a towel to smother him in the side room. He fought back a little bit."
Aron said he again panicked "because I didn't know what to do with the body." He then described in graphic detail how he dismembered the body.Video: Cops: Man confesses to killing NYC boy (on this page)
"I understand this may be wrong and I'm sorry for the hurt that I have caused," he added.
Aron was charged with second-degree murder Wednesday, his 35th birthday.Balancing fear, freedom in wake of child's murder
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the boy's parents had taken him through the route home the day before he went missing, and he was to walk the seven blocks from the camp to meet his mother.
He left at about 5:05 p.m. and got lost. He is shown on surveillance footage outside the dentist's office for about seven minutes, and then is seen getting into Aron's brown Honda sedan about 35 minutes later.
Kletzky's remains were found stuffed in a trash bin and the suspect's refrigerator, police said Wednesday.
Ex-wife 'in shock'
"I am in shock. I am not believing this," Debbie Kivel, Aron's ex-wife, told The New York Post. "He loved children. He loved kids. My kids are now 13 and 10, but when we were married they were younger — and he loved them."
The couple met online through a Jewish dating website. They married in March 2006, but parted later after a "clash of character," Kivel told The Post. They were divorced in 2008.
5:05 p.m.: Child leaves Yeshiva day camp
5:05-5:40 p.m.: Three separate surveillance videos show Leiby walking alone along 44th to 18th avenues instead of turning down the street he was supposed to take to meet his parents. Police believe he was lost.
5:40 p.m.: Another video shows Leiby getting into a car with the suspect, identified as Levi Aron.
6:30 p.m.: Missing boy's mom calls Shomran patrol, a private community group.
8 p.m.: Shomran notifies NYPD the boy is missing. Mobilization soon follows, with police checking some videos of nearby stores that are still open and calling hospital emergency rooms. They find a few videos of the boy standing alone at an intersection.
Morning: Search continues.
Late Afternoon: Video surfaces of Leiby and the suspect outside a dentist office near where the child was last seen.
Evening: Police question a dentist who lives above the dentist office near where surveillance video captured the boy and the suspect. He says the suspect may be a patient of a dentist who lives in New Jersey.
10:30 p.m.: Police track down the dentist in New Jersey. He says he did not see the suspect as a patient, but recalls him speaking to the receptionist about a past bill.
Shortly after 12 a.m.: Police find the receptionist, who confirms the suspect did pay a bill. 1:30 a.m.: Police return to dentist's office, find the bill the suspect paid and learn his address and name from the paperwork.
2 a.m.: Police go to the building where the suspect lives. The suspect's father is on the ground floor of the building and says his son is upstairs. Police go up to the third-floor attic apartment and find the door slightly ajar. Aron is home and they discover bloody knives and some human remains in the refrigerator. (Source: Jonathan Dienst, WNBC)
Aron lived in Tennessee for a time, working odd jobs as a security guard, clerk and butcher at a kosher deli at Kroger's, a supermarket, The Commercial Appeal in Memphis reported.
Kivel described Aron as a person who was shy until he got to know you and said he enjoyed music, karaoke and "American Idol."
His former father-in-law, Michael Kivel, described him differently.
"He was creepy person," Kivel, told the Post. "I gather he went to the Hebrew School, but wasn't smart enough and dropped out."
Aron lived alone in an apartment on Avenue C in a building occupied by his parents and other family members, detectives said.
The gruesome killing shocked the Hasidic community in Borough Park, in part because it is one of the safest sections of the city and because Aron is an Orthodox Jew.
Thousands of mourners and residents gathered in a Brooklyn neighborhood courtyard for Kletzky's funeral Wednesday night, The New York Times reported.
A volunteer with a security patrol group estimated that close to 8,000 people were in attendance, the Times reported.
Hasidism is a form of mystical ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Followers live in communities nearly closed off to modern society and wear traditional dress — for men, dark clothing that includes a long coat and a fedora-type hat. Men often have long beards and ear locks.
Most of the 165,000 members in the New York City the area live in neighborhoods in Brooklyn and are part of three different major sects. Hasidism traces its roots to 18th-century Eastern Europe.
The insular community rarely seeks outside help, and State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, whose district includes the area, often speaks for the group.
Hikind said the boy was the only son of the Kletzky family. The couple has four daughters, and the husband works as a driver for a private car service.
"Everybody is absolutely horrified," he said. "Everyone is in total shock, beyond belief, beyond comprehension ... to suddenly disappear and then the details ... and the fact someone in the extended community ... it's awful," he said.
Shades of Etan Patz
For New Yorkers, the death of Leiby Kletzky has unmistakable parallels to the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz, the first child to be put on a milk carton.
On May 25, 1979, the boy left for school from his SoHo home, never to return.
According to reports, it was the first day Patz walked the two blocks from his apartment to the bus stop.
A suspect was identified, but never charged. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. recently confirmed that his office was reopening the investigation into the disappearance.
Patz's disappearance was the subject of one of the most extensive missing-child searches ever. He was never found but was officially declared dead in 2001.

Democrat Colin Van Ostern will fill the Executive Council District 2 following a contentious race against his opponent, Republican Michael Tierney.
According to WMUR results, Van Ostern had 58 percent of the vote compared to Tierney's 42 percent across the district on Wednesday, taking in 68,797 compared to Tierney's 49,898 in 75 out of 78 reporting precincts. In Durham, preliminary results showed Tierney with 1,984 votes compared to Van Ostern's 4,185. In Dover, Van Ostern won by a large majority with 8,448 votes compared to Tierney's 5,779. Rochester showed a close run with 6,465 votes for Van Ostern and 6,445 for Tierney. And in Farmington, finals tallied in 1,262 votes for Van Ostern and 1,364 for Tierney.
District 2 was recently modified to include the local communities of Dover, Durham, Farmington, Madbury, Rochester, Rollinsford, Somersworth and Strafford.
Van Ostern thanked his voters in a mass email at 11:42 p.m. on Tuesday night for the win.
"I'm honored by the responsibility that (New Hampshire) voters have placed in me by electing me to the Executive Council. I look forward to working with Maggie Hassan and both Democrats & Republicans on the Council," he wrote, "to move our state forward with a renewed focus on jobs and less government interference in our personal lives."
Van Ostern, 33, is a business manager for Stonyfield Farm, Inc. in Manchester. After graduating from George Washington University, he worked with several Washington Democrats, including Annie Kuster in 2010, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen during her U.S. Senate campaign, and John Edwards during his presidential campaign. He said he believes state legislative bodies, and the Executive Council, are too bogged down by social issues and hopes to look at contracts and appointment approvals practically, to better serve the district.
Tierney, 35, of Contoocook, told Foster's he "reluctantly" entered the race, but said he felt he had to win to provide an "effective" check on the new governor and administration. On Wednesday, he distributed a statement thanking voters for their support in spite of the loss.
"We knew at the outset that this would be a difficult race as District 2 has the highest proportion of Democratic voters of any district in the state. Nevertheless, we outperformed expectations," he wrote in an email to supporters. "The voters heard the message of fiscal responsibility and an end to the forced tax payer subsidization of New Hampshire's abortion clinics."
Tierney has a background as a high school teacher and lawyer, and now practices civil law as a partner with Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, PLLC in Manchester. He and Van Ostern sparred over hot button issues including funding for Planned Parenthood, which Tierney argued was haphazardly awarded without a contract bidding process, which Van Ostern said was a false claim. Tierney also knocked Van Ostern for being supported by Planning Parenthood through their $500,000 campaign, for him and other democratic candidates across the state.
Van Ostern is in favor of economic growth, by developing the state's infrastructure, both "human and physical." He previously told Foster's he is interested in building state highways and bolstering education. He said he was dissatisfied with the negative vote for expanding the passenger rail project by the former Legislature and he will seek to re-address that issue as well.
Van Ostern outlasts Tierney to win Executive Council seat in Dist. 2
Democrat Colin Van Ostern will fill the Executive Council District 2 following a contentious race against his opponent, Republican Michael Tierney.

What is flexibility in home design? Partly it's about efficiency, as in the Airstream Sterling Concept Trailer designed by architect Christopher Deam (released late last year by the Airstream company), where multiple functions
are packed into every surface of the small interior. The cabinetry recalls the compact, every-inch-counts-ingenuity of yacht and jet plane interiors, as well as Fuller's Dymaxion house (photo by Drew Kelly, courtesy The New York Times).
The walls become both moving partitions and storage containers, while the streamlined metal surfaces and overlapping spaces bring the Airstream's classic, sleek, retro-mod exterior inside to accentuate the feeling of spaciousness (photo courtesy DesignMilk).
A more extreme example of flexibility might be the famous modern Italian villa
known as il Girasole (the Sunflower) near Verona, built in 1935 by civil and nautical engineer Angelo Invernizzi with architect Ettore Fagiuoli. It rotates to follow the sun (like a sunflower) and take in a 360-degree view — a precursor to all those rotating cocktail lounges from the 1960s and 70s, only here the whole house turns, not just the top floor. It's built on a massive three-story
stationary concrete drum that's dug into a hill. Here you see the two story
L-shaped house on top of the drum after it has made a compete revolution: now the L faces the viewer, now it faces away. The house itself is supported on a chassis that runs on three circular rails, as shown here in an aerial view.
According to architectural historian Colin Davies in his book Key Houses of the 20th Century: "Villa Girasole is more like a traveling crane or swing bridge than
a sunflower." The great wheels are remarkable objects in themselves — like monumental kinetic sculpture. Electric motors can push the house through a complete rotation in about 9 hours. (OK — it's 6 pm: that must be the vineyard! Time for another glass of grappa! Or is that the grappa and it's time for another vineyard…) The house pivots around an axle connected to a large bearing at the
base of the drum through a tall cylinder containing a circular stairway wrapping
an elevator. It's a surpassingly clever design and you can view a fascinating short film about it narrated by the engineer's daughter at Flixxy, where she recalls: "Each time I lifted my eyes from the book I was reading I would see a different vista." So — il Girasole is quite literally flexible in the sense that it moves, but it takes a lot of effort to make that possible (images courtesy Loftenberg.com).
Flexibility can also refer to how a design, or elements of a design, accommodate different circumstances, which was the reasoning behind the development of our Flexahouse, by architect Nick Noyes. It combines the same great room, storage wall, entry, bedrooms, master suite, and garage in three different ways, from I-shape Plan 445-1
to L-shape Plan 445-3 — this one doesn't move!)
— to suit different lot sizes, from narrow to wide. In short, there are many ways to achieve flexibility. The trick is simply to plan for it!

If you're one of those fans who watched Monday's Bears-Packers game simply to pass the time before the release of "Call of Duty: Ghosts" on Tuesday, well, that's understandable.
However, you might not have realized Marc Trestman's team strikes a parallel with the game. You could say the Bears, like the protagonists in "Ghosts," represent "a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive." (That synopsis comes straight from the game's website.)
After all, the Bears have so many injuries to key players that the underdog card is one of the few advantages they had heading into Lambeau Field.
So who earned his stars in the latest rivalry showdown? Check back all night for updates.
One star: Gotta say, Josh McCown looked awfully comfortable early on, and his numbers back it up: 7-for-12 passing, 94 yards and a touchdown.
Two stars: Shea McClellin sighting! Not only did he sack Aaron Rodgers on third down to force a Packers field goal, but the Bears lineman knocked Rodgers out of the game with an injury. Tough break, Green Bay.
Three stars: Brandon Marshall had three catches for 54 yards in the quarter. Oh, and a ridiculous TD grab on the side of the end zone. If you missed it, get thee to YouTube.
Score: Packers 10, Bears 7
One star: Serious pats on the back for the Bears' offensive line. Even when backed up in their own end zone, nobody laid a hand on McCown.
Two stars: They say a running back is a backup QB's best friend. Matt Forte was clutch all quarter, including a 33-yard reception and a 1-yard touchdown run.
Three stars: More of the Josh McCown show. And what a show! Another 102 yards passing and two more scoring drives.
Score: Bears 17, Packers 10
One star: Warning: green and gold ahead. Tricky Packers coach Mike McCarthy called a surprise onside kick, which his team recovered and later turned into a field goal. Well played, sir.
Two stars: That blur you saw pummeling the Bears defense was Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy. He had 84 yards and a TD in the quarter. Get well soon, Lance Briggs.
Three stars: "Gimme that, sucka!" That's what we imagine Alshon Jeffery said when he ripped a TD catch away from a defender, giving the Bears the lead again.
Score: Bears 24, Packers 20
One star: Wait, is that … ? Yes, it's Julius Peppers! Invisible most of the season, he batted down a Seneca Wallace pass on a third-down play and sacked him later in the quarter.
Two stars: Matt Forte (179 total yards), Josh McCown (275 yards passing), Brandon Marshall (107 yards receiving)—take your pick. They all were a nightmare for the Packers defense.
Three stars: Marc Trestman gets his first win against Green Bay in his first try. In Lambeau Field. His best call: going for it on fourth-and-inches in his own territory, vaulting the Bears back into first place in the NFC North. Mission accomplished.
Final score: Bears 27, Packers 20

The reflexiveness of modernity's systems of mastery (the way they evaluate themselves and feed that knowledge to reshape the social fields they survey) comes to characterize self-perception; the self becomes a modern abstract system itself in this sense, and we try to operate and master it, become responsible for it, maximize its potentiality. But the opportunities in the reflexive self come with "ontological insecurity" -- a sense that life is meaningless and the that self is an endless project, never quite secure. We don't get to enjoy having a self, being embodied; we must always be tending to identity in a state of remove from ourselves, a ongoing alienation.
One way we try to stabilize the self in such conditions of modernity is through imtimacy. "Trust, interpersonal relations and a conviction of the 'reality' of things go hand in hand in the settings of adult life." We need others we understand to confirm our sense of what is going on, our narrative. But social networks take away some of the space in which "pure relationships" (disinterested, yet reflexive intimate relationships) can occur -- instead identity is mobilized in commercialized spaces.
Nevertheless, Giddens remarks that identity is "not to be found in behavior nor the reaction of others but in the capacity to keep a particular narrative going." This involves self-monitoring, bodily control, displaying a competence in sustaining social normalcy, knowing how to enjoy the rules. We must be able to perform what Goffman calls "easy control." Some of these are "regimes" of diet, dress, grooming, etc -- everyday modes of self-discipline that reflect a willingness to play the game of social life by its rules. These are a basic backdrop to the narrative of self. But reflexivity with regard to these regimes gone awry produces eating disorders, etc.: "anorexia represents a striving for security in a world of plural, but ambiguous, options. The tightly controlled body is an emblem of a safe experience in an open social environment."
In general, the protective cocoon of normality depends "on the coherence of routines... as they are ordered within the reflexive project of self." These, in Max Weber's theory, present a field of action for us that is "calculable".
Still "the responses of the other are necessary to the sustaining of an 'observable/accountable' world, and yet there is no point at which they can absolutely be relied upon." Hence the modern condition: "Quite often, paradoxically, the actor subjects his behavior and thoughts to constant scrutiny. Self-scrutiny in this guise is obsessional; its experiential outcome is much the same as in the other instances, a feeling that the living spontaneity of the self has become something dead and lifeless." We have a morbid self-awareness that forces us to renarrate experience and assess it rather than lose ourselves in it. We are always seeking to have ourselves confirmed in our sense of ourselves.
In my view, the strategies for producing the self (and for problematizing it in the first place) are governed in our time by specific requirements of consumerist capitalism, which prompts insecurity, and the sense that momentous decisions confront us -- what Giddens calls "fateful moments". These moments of vulnerability leave us open to external influences, to reinscribing new sets of values and purposes for our lives. Giddens sees these as times of "reskilling" -- reappropriating knowledge from the abstract systems as it pertains to the crisis. I am more skeptical, and think these reappropriations may take the form of prepackaged goods -- clusters of commodified solutions that have the effect of reinforcing the social relations suitable to the existing order (or at least one of its competing factions). The mere fact of personal change can make this reinscription seem like autonomy, liberation, power, but the values are not organic to the individual but are the individual's means perhaps of reharmonizing with hegemonic ideas and owning them -- learning to operate the society from a position of agency even as society dictates the goals. Also, re-skilling becomes an identity signifier rather than an acquisition of knowledge for its own sake and for what it can practically achieve, so it reinscribes the idea that identity trumps the flow of experience.
I wonder if seemingly fateful moments are deliberately manufactured by consumer capitalism because they destabilze our sense of self, opening us to the potential of new purchases to launch a new lifestyle, to uses purchases as the means of imagining more avenues for how we may develop our identity.
The disappearance of the concept of fate makes everything a matter of subjectively assessed risk, which increases our general level of insecurity. This (along with the proliferation of expert systems) is another reason that there is no escape from the experience of modernity, from the sort of identity-based defense mechanisms and traps we fall into. This constant awareness of risk could theoretically produce a financialization of everyday life -- we assess our moment-to-moment life chances with the tools of risk management and hedging, with obvious consequences to "disinterested" pure relationships.
Cites Sennett, The Fall of Public Man on modernity: In Giddens's paraphrase, "any sense of personal dignity or civic duty tends to evaporate. Authenticity substitutes for dignity: what makes an action good is that it is authentic to the individual's desires, and can be displayed to others as such.... Social bonds and engagements increasingly thereafter recede in favor of an endless and obsessive preoccupation with social identity." Giddens rejects this, but I agree with Sennett.
Cites Zygmunt Bauman on the necessary conditions for consumerism: "The market feeds on the unhappiness it generates: the fears, the anxieties and the sufferings of personal inadequacy it induces releases consumer behavior indispensible to its continuation." Sounds right to me. Through marketing demography, lifestyle packages are offered as solutions to the inadequacy, the ontological insecurity, that offer readymade sense of belonging -- like joining the goth scene by one day getting the right clothes at Hot Topic.
The summation, I think, of Giddens's ideas in this book, on "the looming threat of meaninglessness":
The best starting point for understanding why this should be so is the pervasiveness of abstract systems. Day-to-day life becomes more calculable than it was in most premodern contexts. Calculability is expressed not only in the provision of stable social environments but in the chronic reflexivity whereby individuals organize their own relations to the encompassing social world. The threat of personal meaninglessness is ordinarily held at bay because routinized activities, in conbination with basic trust, sustain ontological security. Potentially disturbing existential questions are defused by the controlled nature of day-to-day activities within internally referential systems. Mastery, in other words, substitutes for morality.

Harry Redknapp has been named manager of Queens Park Rangers following Friday's sacking of Mark Hughes, the Premier League's bottom club announced on Saturday.
Redknapp, who was fired by fellow London club Tottenham Hotspur in June, signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club, who have not won a league game this season.
Hughes's assistants Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki were put in temporary charge of the team for Saturday's daunting trip to face Manchester United in the league and Redknapp would watch from the stands, the club said.
"I'm delighted to be back in the managerial hot-seat at QPR," Redknapp, 65, told the club website (www.qpr.co.uk).
"When I spoke to the shareholders and they told me about their plans I knew this was too good an opportunity to turn down.
"There's no doubt there's a lot of ability in the squad but for one reason or another things haven't gone as well as everyone expected since the start of the season.
"I can't wait to get to work and get the results necessary to kick-start our season."
Regarded as one of the best managers in the English game, Redknapp had been close to accepting the job of Ukraine coach this week, but said on Friday that he would be the happiest man if he could save Rangers from relegation.
QPR chairman Tony Fernandes said Redknapp had been the club's top target for the job.
"His man-management skills are second to none and we are confident he is the right man to lead us away from the bottom of the table," he told the club website.
The club said Redknapp's back-room team would be announced later.

- Good times are still to be had – for tourists and travelers alike – on T.J.'s Avenida Revolución.
Tijuana Revisited, Part 2
A tequila bar on Avenida Revolución, and more...
(continued from an August 7 travel story)
"Come on, take a photo," urges a man standing on a corner of Avenida Revolución, locally known as "La Revo." This is the main street running through T.J.'s touristy Zona Centro.
Luis is trying to get me to stand next to – or on – his donkey that's been painted white with black stripes. Or has it? It's definitely not a zebra. Turns out that they are known as Tijuana Zebras; these mostly white donkeys have been a tourist attraction since the early 1900s. Back in the day, visitors' black-and-white cameras would lose the white donkeys on sunny days. Enter the black stripes.
But Tijuana didn't become known as "the most visited city in the world" (it's really not) due to these pseudo-zebras. It was thanks to America's Prohibition and heaps of statesiders with a need for some fun – which involved copious amounts of alcohol and the accompanying gambling, prostitution and other vices. After awhile, the Navy had to prohibit its sailors from traveling to Tijuana.
But back to present times: Luis is pointing out a bar on La Revo that has apparently just opened. Yep, I'm thirsty.
I take not even one step inside the swinging-saloon doors before Alfredo, the owner of Mama Tequila Cantina, begins excitedly showing off his framed photos that stream along the left wall opposite the polished wooden bar.
"Here we see the process of making tequila," he says, showing me three pictures of the agave plant.
"And here we see the desired result." (The fourth picture is of a drunken dude in a sombrero hanging onto a bar's ledge.)
Alfredo's energía doesn't diminish a bit as he explains the difference between tequila, mezcal (pictured) and pulque.
These alcoholic drinks are all products of the agave plant (which is in the lily, not cactus, family). Tequila and mezcal both use the distillation process during production – the difference is that tequila is made with a particular type of agave found mainly in the Mexican state of Jalisco: the blue agave. Pulque ferments the sap from the agave plant, but is not distilled and isn't nearly as strong.
Alfredo recommends "El Vampiro" (the Vampire). How can I say no to this man? He's clearly just as proud of his drink offerings as he is of his new place…and he should be.
The culmination of tomato juice, mango juice, orange juice, something spicy and tequila, El Vampiro turns out to be my favorite drink of the day. The legit drinks (a bit pricey for T.J. at $5, but well worth it) combined with the bar's vintage feel definitely make this a place to check out.
Now it's time for some food. But I don't want anything on La Revo – let's get out of the heart of touristy T.J. for a second. But not too far. Two blocks to the west, in between streets Benito Juarez and Articulo 123, resides the Mercado Municipal. It's an atrium made up of about eight different restaurants all serving the same Mexican food, from what I could gather.
Once again I'm thrown back into Peru or Bolivia with their market food stalls. And with the T.J. touch, literally this time, ladies from each establishment are pulling my arms to sit down in their place.
I decide on one place really only because of a nice smile – and I was getting worried about my arms. For six dollars, I get a soup followed by a heaping mound of amazing handmade corn tortillas and a skinny excuse for meat. It's exactly what I was looking for.
After this, I finally admit to myself that I'd feel weird if I didn't hang out in at least one uber-touristy restaurant/bar for this visit. This will involve cheap margaritas "on special," maybe some chips and salsa to see how spicy things are, and definitely some mobile mariachi bands. Plus I need to be woken up after eating too much at the mercado.
A cacophony of sounds immediately fills my ears as I sit down in one of the many 2-for-1 cheap margarita locales. I drink quick…then quicker. The lady at the neighboring table entertains me, courtesy of the Corona beer bottle she balances on her head (above) while dancing. Impressive.
T.J. is looking nicer than I remembered it being. But then again, that's comparing today to an inebriated kid's recollection as he walked around here just looking for the next beer, margarita or Tequila popper.
I'm not sure if it's the intense sugar rush from the margies or the piercing mariachi tunes, but I'm done for the day. I've asked a few people about local orphanages, and I now have a few organizations to research before returning.
Now it's time for a nap on the Blue Line trolley headed back to downtown. Man, I'm lucky to live in San Diego.
(to be concluded in Part 3)
