R. T. Smith
When I am the lone listener to the antiphony of crickets
and the two wild tribes of cicadas and let my mind
wander to its bogs, its sloughs where no endorphins fire,
I will think on occasion how all memory is longing
for the lost energies of innocence, and then one night –
whiskey and the Pleiades, itch from a wasp sting –
I realize it is nearly half a century since that nightmare
in Money, Mississippi, when Emmett Till was dragged
from his uncle Mose Wright's cabin by two strangers
because he might have wolf-whistled at Carolyn Bryant,
a white woman from whom he had bought candy,
or maybe he just whispered "Bye," as the testimony
was confused and jangled by fear. The boy was not local,
and Chicago had taught him minor mischief, but what
he said hardly matters, as he never got to testify,
for the trial was for murder after his remains were dredged
from the Tallahatchie River, his smashed body with one
eye gouged out and a bullet in the brain and lashed
with barbed wire to a cotton gin fan whose vanes
might have to him seemed petals of some metal flower,
had Bobo – as friends called him – ever seen it. And why
this might matter to me tonight is that I was not yet eight
when the news hit and can remember my parents at dinner –
maybe glazed ham, probably hand-whipped potatoes,
iced tea sweeter than candy, as it was high summer –
shaking their heads in passing and saying it was a shame,
but the boy should have been smarter and known never
to step out of his place, especially that far South. Did I
even guess, did I ask how a word or stray note could give birth
to murder? He was fourteen, and on our flickering new TV,
sober anchormen from Atlanta registered their shock,
while we ate our fine dinner and listened to details
from the trial in Sumner, though later everyone learned
the crime occurred in Sunflower County, and snoopy
reporters from up north had also discovered that missing
witnesses – Too Tight Collins among them – could
finger the husband Roy Bryant and his step-brother
named Milam as the men in the truck who asked, "Where
the boy done the talking?" and dragged Emmett Till
into the darkness. His mother Mamie, without whom
it would have all passed in the usual secrecy, requested
an open-casket funeral, so the mourners saw the body
maimed beyond recognition – his uncle had known
the boy only by a signet ring – and Jet magazine
then showed photos, working up the general rage
and indignation, so the trial was speedy, five days
with a white jury, which acquitted, the foreman
reporting that the state had not adequately established
the identity of the victim, and I don't know how
my father the cop or his petite wife the Den Mother
took it all, though in their eighties they have no love
for any race darker than a tanned Caucasian. I need
a revelation to lift me from the misery of remembering,
as I get the stigma of such personal history twisted
into the itch of that wasp sting. Milam later told Life
he and Bryant were "guilty as sin," and there is some
relief in knowing their town shunned them and drove
Bryant out of business, but what keeps haunting me –
glass empty, the insect chorus fiercer, more shrill –
is the drama played out in my mind like a scene
from some reverse To Kill a Mockingbird – or worse,
a courtroom fiasco from a Faulkner novel – when
the prosecutor asked Mr. Wright if he could find
in the room the intruder who snatched his nephew
out of bed that night, and the old man – a great uncle,
really – fought back his sobs and pointed at the accused,
his finger like a pistol aimed for the heart. "Dar he,"
he said, and the syllables yet echo into this raw night
like a poem that won't be silenced, like the choir
of seventeen-year insects, their voices riddling strange
as sleigh bells through the summer air, the horrors
of injustice still simmering, and I now wonder what
that innocence I miss might have been made of –
smoke? rhinestones? gravied potatoes followed
by yellow cake and milk? Back then we called
the insect infestation ferros, thinking of Hebrew
captivity in Egypt and believing they were chanting
free us, instead of the come hither new science
insists on, but who can dismiss the thought
that some fifty years back their ancestors dinned
a river of sound all night extending lament
to lamentation, and I am shaken by the thought
of how easy it is for me to sit here under sharp
stars which could mark in heaven the graves
of tortured boys and inhale the dregs of expensive
whiskey the color of a fox, how convenient
to admit where no light shows my safe face
that I have been less than innocent this entire
life and never gave a second thought to this:
even the window fan cooling my bedroom
stirs the air with blades, and how could anyone
in a civilized nation ever be condemned for
narrowing breath to melody between the teeth,
and if this is an exercise in sham shame I am
feeling, some wish for absolution, then I have to
understand the wave of nausea crossing me,
this conviction that it is not simple irony
making the whir of voices from the pine trees
now seem to say Dar he, Dar he, Dar he.
When was this poem composed? How did it start?
I think it was the spring and summer of 2005. I had twice before tried to write poems about the wolf whistle episode and aftermath, abandoning the first because Lewis Nordan published a novel based on it, the second because I began to have doubts about the whole enterprise. I was working in quatrains of simple pentatonic lines, seeing the actual murder scene with an omniscient eye, filling in from the historical record concerning the murder of Emmitt Till, and I began to wonder if it was my business to be meddling here, invading to invent and interpret just to satisfy my need to speak out on the righteous side. I wanted to write a poem of witness against racial atrocity, but I was not really a legitimate or significant witness. Then on that Sunday afternoon—my wife off traveling, me on the sofa watching the news alone—I learned it was the anniversary of something, the killing, the verdict, something, and my memory lurched back to where it had not dared go before. Where I was when I first heard about the killing, and who I was with, how we ate our nice dinner anyway, tsk, tsk. I knew I had to try again and that I needed to work it out for myself and face full-on a fact about myself and my family that I have long tried to get shed of. The cicadas or jarflies appeared out there as soon as it went twilight. I scribbled and they seemed to urge me on. I didn't start off with a glass of whiskey, but it got involved later. I was going through the whole lower case register of shame, trying to decide to what degree I was complicit or permissive, and to what degree indicted. It was a hard night all around, but I felt something pushing me, a wind, a whisper, an insistence.
How many revisions did this poem undergo? How much time elapsed between the first and final drafts?
I wrote fast that evening, not pausing to check facts or dates, a reeling off of layers, lending little attention to line length or rational connection. By bedtime I had the rough draft, and it was prose with a few salvageably intense and lyric moments that must be recognized as gifts. With the second draft, I went from notebook to computer, and then it all goes murky, as I just changed and rearranged, trying for an iambic line but giving up. The thing wanted a longer reach, a harder utterance, class four rapids. You make big changes one day and small ones the next, and the history of composition disappears into the hard drive. It's impossible to count drafts or sessions unless you use the computer with more expertise and fluency than I do.
Do you believe in inspiration? How much of this poem was "received" and how much was the result of sweat and tears?
If there's such a thing as valuable inspiration, it has to do with full attention and energy. The muse involves "use," and I was using all my resources in that first session. The whole process was so compelling and scary that I seldom had trouble in subsequent sessions receiving that faint whispering radio signal that dares us to fine tune to it. It's an inconvenient and demanding kind of consciousness, and even those of us who say we live for it probably don't want it all that often, as it wrings you dry. A lot of this poem was received, as was a lot of what couldn't be part of the poem. And I had to go back and read the historical documents. I know Picasso's comment that art is a lie that tells a truth, but the lie has to be that imaginative spin you put on the ball, not the ball itself. Just the desperate lying of extrapolation where you nearly remember. When I write a historical poem, I want it to stand up to both imaginative and documentary scrutiny. There's pleasure in working toward that, but it's sweat pleasure.
How did this poem arrive at its final form? Did you consciously employ any principles of technique?
I decided pretty early on how many lines per stanza, but I only slowly came to an understanding of how I wanted to interweave the re-enactment of the killing, the courtroom testimony, the narrator's dinnertable discovery of the crime on TV and the narrator's position as he unscrolls this story. I didn't want it to be so much neat and intellectual as associational, psychological. Haunted, I suppose. The gangly, enjambed sentences are intentional, as are the internal rhymes and assonance. I wanted it a kind of driven exhortation, an exhausting poem to read aloud, and if nothing else, it is that.
How long after you finished this poem did it first appear in print?
Nearly two years, I think. I kept delaying any attempt to get it published, asking myself questions about my rights to this testimony, worrying that some folks might say I had, like many white writers, tried to usurp the victims' voices, to make them my sensitivity badge. But I knew this was a poem I had to write, and that my refracted experience and the way the story occupied my imagination wouldn't be denied. It was quickly rejected by a couple of magazines, but Ploughshares took it and then awarded it their annual prize. It's been Pushcarted and anthologized since, but the Ploughshares people have been very kindly sponsors of it, nominating here and there, which I appreciate. Then it appeared in Outlaw Style from Arkansas in 2007, if I recall correctly.
How long do you let a poem "sit" before you send it off into the world? Do you have any rules about this or does your practice vary with every poem?
I don't have any rules or very much continuity of method. Sometimes my job makes writing very difficult and pobiz as impossible as it is unpleasant, so I lie quiet for long spells, then gather up the work from half a year and send it out. The production line at my desk is about as reliable as a snake.
Could you talk about fact and fiction and how this poem negotiates the two?
Maybe I've already answered this, but I should add that I moved the family back to Georgia in the poem, but I can't recall if we were in Griffin or Charlotte when I heard the story. My visual memory says Griffin, but my reason responds, "Did we have a TV in Georgia?" If the scenes of remembering – twilight, evening drink, insects – and the dinnertable are milky in my mind, I have invested extensive research and meditation in trying the summon fact from the results.
Is this a narrative poem?
I'd say this is a story within a report within a narrative. Man with whisky remembers boy at dinner who hears of atrocity and tries to place it in his understanding of the world. Time passes, histories get written, facts fade, memory monkeys with things, the world spins. Narrative is always a relative question, but I don't think this is borderline.
Do you remember who you were reading when you wrote this poem? Any influences you'd care to disclose?
This is reaching back a spell, but I think I was reading Cormac McCarthy. Maybe listening to endless disks of Moby-Dick in the car. When I'm writing poetry, I try to read fiction, and the reverse. It's easier to quarantine my work from the big winds that way, and I like to read those big winds.
Do you have any particular audience in mind when you write, an ideal reader?
At some point, I was convinced this one was just for the home team. It's long and convoluted and maybe not appropriate, certainly not "pleasing." Poetry as catharsis, though. I thought it might be too ungainly and associative and maybe too politically incorrect to find much of an audience.
Did you let anyone see drafts of this poem before you finished it? Is there an individual or a group of individuals with whom you regularly share work?
I don't believe I did. My wife Sarah Kennedy is the most likely person to see my work when it's raw. She probably saw it in that stage when I'm confident I've done the best I can, but a couple of snags still trouble me. She always makes my poems at least a little better. In a more finished state I'm likely to send a few things to Claudia Emerson, too, but when I'm writing, I mostly do it in secret, the old readers having fallen away long ago.
How does this poem differ from other poems of yours?
I've revealed here a less idealized, more historical version of my family, and I've appropriated without permission voices I might have preferred to consult with, though that wasn't possible. I suppose this is a poem of witness, but a cautious one, seeking to speak truly and clearly, when I'm not sure I've earned the podium. I also think its twining of past and present, personal and public is more bold than I'm accustomed to. It may be trespassing, and in that sense, I guess it's right at the center of what seems to be my imaginative project. It does wear its literary allusions on its sleeve, which I'm not normally inclined toward. I hope it requires a reader to get a second wind, which I'm usually cautious of.
What is American about this poem?
"Only in America?" as they say. Not exactly, as racist atrocities abound, but we have our special brand, and the monkeyshines that follow as the perpetrators puppet the system to protect themselves, well, we've nearly perfected this. I think about William Christenberry's paintings and constructions, and I'm tempted to say it's as American as the Klan.
Was this poem finished or abandoned?
Neither, I think. I still look at it and say, well, why not cut this, shift that, correct this? I fiddle with it, fret with it. It seems a poem not to have gotten wrong, so I keep doing random tests on it, midnight surprises, to make sure it's not shamming, but there it is in the book, no way to get in and change all those copies. If the possibility of a Selected Poems ever arises, I believe it will be slightly different there.
[Author's Note: Although most historians now concur that Mose Wright said not "Dar he," but "There he is," the former is the way his testimony was universally reported in the media, and it has remained so in the public mind.]

I was older than the poet when this happened. Even though my father was from Tennessee, I think we were shocked into silence and some horror. To me, this is a poem that says what every reconstructed liberal wants said, and every humanitarian. It's brave, moving, tough, and wonderful.ReplyDelete
Like JLC, I was older, but stricken by the horror of the reports in the newspapers and on TV. I lived in S. GA but my parents had always been sympathetic toward the black people. However, when the Civil Rights movement began, they, like R.T.'s parents, blamed the people who came south to "interfere" in our way of life.ReplyDelete
This poem is haunting to me as I think of those feelings of shame when I pretended, out of fear of not belonging, but pride for those times when I stood up for my beliefs. I applaud this poem also because this is a difficult subject to write about and do it justice.

House posts and beam, Quatsino, BC
- 51-01-28-a039460
- Item
- 1955 or 1956
Parte de Harry B. Hawthorn fonds
Image of the houseposts and beam of what once was a longhouse in Quatsino, BC, on the north end of Vancouver Island. These posts appear to be the same as posts now houses at the Museum of Anthropology (museum item number A50009 a-c). The poles are described on the museum's catalogue: "Two upright posts and crossbeam that were part of a large interior house frame (also see records d-f and g-h). The uprights depict sea lions carved in high relief and painted (parts a-b). Their heads are equal size to their bodies. Both part a and b have an eagle in profile within the sea lions front flippers. Part a has a top portion of a face painted on the back of its head that is part of a sisiutl that runs down the seal lions back and into its hind flipper with a serpent's head in each. The cross-beam (part c) is painted and carved as a supernatural double-headed sea lion. All parts are painted black and white with Northwest Coast stylized forms... The Klix'ken (sea lion) House was commissioned by Tza'kyius around 1906, and was the last old style house erected in Xwatis. The beams and figures stood as part of a house frame, and acted as structural supports. Figures represented on house frames were supernatural beings which the family living in the house had the right, through their history and origins, to represent."

Puppet Server Configuration Files: auth.conf
Puppet Server's
auth.conf file contains rules for authorizing access to Puppet Server's HTTP API endpoints. For an overview, see Puppet Server Configuration.
The new Puppet Server authentication configuration and functionality is similar to the legacy method in that you define rules in a file named
auth.conf, and Puppet Server applies the settings when a request's endpoint matches a rule.
However, Puppet Server now has its own
auth.conf file that uses a new HOCON format with different parameters, syntax, and functionality.
Aside: Changes to Authorization in Puppet Server 2.2.0
Puppet Server 2.2.0 introduces a significant change in how it manages authentication to API endpoints. It uses
trapperkeeper-authorizationfor authentication, which is configured by rules and settings in Puppet Server's own
auth.conf, with a HOCON configuration file format in a different location than the Puppet
The older Puppet
auth.conffile and whitelist-based authorization method are deprecated. Puppet Server's new
auth.conffile, documented below, also uses a different format for authorization rules.
Puppet Server follows the following logic when determining whether to use the new or old authorization methods:
- Requests to Puppet master service endpoints already manageable through the deprecated authorization methods and Puppet
auth.conffile — such as
node, and
report— use Puppet Server's new
auth.confrules if the
use-legacy-auth-confsetting in
puppetserver.confis set to
false(which is its default). If
use-legacy-auth-confis set to true, Puppet Server warns you that the legacy authentication method is deprecated.
- Requests to certificate status and administration endpoints use the new
auth.confrules only if the corresponding
client-whitelistssetting is empty or unspecified and the
authorization-requiredflag is set to
true(which is its default).
- Requests to other certificate administration endpoints — such as
certificate_request, and
certificate_revocation_list— always use the new HOCON
auth.confrules in Puppet Server's
auth.conffile. This happens regardless of the
authorization-required, or
use-legacy-auth-confsettings, as versions of Puppet Server before 2.2.0 can't manage those endpoints.
For detailed conversion examples for authorization rules, see Migrating to the HOCON auth.conf Format. For help configuring authorization rules that serve both Puppet 3 and Puppet 4 agents, see Backward Compatibility with Puppet 3 Agents.
Aside: Changes to Authorization in Puppet Server 5.0.0
Puppet Server 5.0.0 changes the default value of
use-legacy-auth-conffrom true to false. If the legacy Puppet
auth.conffile should be in use with Puppet Server 5 then the
use-legacy-auth-confsetting must be explicitly set.
Note: You can also use the
puppetlabs-puppet_authorizationmodule to manage the new
auth.conffile's authorization rules in the new HOCON format, and the
puppetlabs-hoconmodule to use Puppet to manage HOCON-formatted settings in general.
You have two options when configuring how Puppet Server authenticates requests:
- If you opt into using Puppet Server's new, supported HOCON
auth.conffile and authorization methods, use the parameters and rule definitions in the HOCON Parameters section.
- If you continue using the deprecated Ruby Puppet
auth.conffile and authorization methods, see the Deprecated Ruby Parameters section.
HOCON example
Here is an example authorization section using the HOCON configuration format:
authorization: {
version: 1
rules: [
match-request: {
path: "^/my_path/([^/]+)$"
type: regex
method: get
allow: [ node1, node2, node3, {extensions:{ext_shortname1: value1, ext_shortname2: value2}} ]
sort-order: 1
name: "user-specific my_path"
match-request: {
path: "/my_other_path"
type: path
allow-unauthenticated: true
sort-order: 2
name: "my_other_path"
For descriptions of each setting, see the following sections.
HOCON parameters
Use the following parameters when writing or migrating custom authorization rules using the new HOCON format.
version parameter is required. In this initial release, the only supported value is
Note: Puppet Server ignores the setting of the same name in
master.confin favor of this setting in the new
auth.conffile. If you use the deprecated authentication method and Puppet
auth.confrules, you must instead configure this setting in
This optional
authorization section parameter determines whether to enable external SSL termination on all HTTP endpoints that Puppet Server handles, including those served by the "master" service, the certificate authority API, and the Puppet Admin API. It also controls how Puppet Server derives the user's identity for authorization purposes. The default value is
If this setting is
true, Puppet Server ignores any presented certificate and relies completely on header data to authorize requests.
Warning! This is very insecure; do not enable this parameter unless you've secured your network to prevent any untrusted access to Puppet Server.
You cannot rename any of the
X-Client headers when this setting is enabled, and you must specify identity through the
X-Client-DN, and
X-Client-Cert headers.
For more information, see External SSL Termination in the Puppet Server documentation and Configuring the Authorization Service in the
trapperkeeper-authorization documentation.
The required
rules array of a Puppet Server's HOCON
auth.conf file determines how Puppet Server responds to a request. Each element is a map of settings pertaining to a rule, and when Puppet Server receives a request, it evaluates that request against each rule looking for a match.
You define each rule by adding parameters to the rule's
match-request section. A
rules array can contain as many rules as you need, each with a single
match-request section.
If a request matches a rule in a
match-request section, Puppet Server determines whether to allow or deny the request using the
rules parameters that follow the rule's
match-request section:
- At least one of:
If no rule matches, Puppet Server denies the request by default and returns an HTTP 403/Forbidden response.
match-request can take the following parameters, some of which are required:
type(required): A
match-requestrule must have a
pathparameter, which returns a match when a request's endpoint URL starts with or contains the
pathparameter's value. The parameter can be a literal string or regular expression as defined in the required
# Regular expression to match a path in a URL. path: "^/puppet/v3/report/([^/]+)$" type: regex # Literal string to match the start of a URL's path. path: "/puppet/v3/report/" type: path
Note: While the HOCON format doesn't require you to wrap all string values with double quotation marks, some special characters commonly used in regular expressions — such as
*— break HOCON parsing unless the entire value is enclosed in double quotes.
method: If a rule contains the optional
methodparameter, Puppet Server applies that rule only to requests that use its value's listed HTTP methods. This parameter's valid values are
delete, and
head, provided either as a single value or array of values.
# Use GET and POST. method: [get, post] # Use PUT. method: put
Note: While the new HOCON format does not provide a direct equivalent to the deprecated
searchindirector, you can create the equivalent rule by passing GET and POST to
methodand specifying endpoint paths using the
environment: For endpoints on a Puppet 4 master, you can supply the
environmentas a query parameter suffix on the request's base URL. Use the optional
query-paramssetting and provide the list of query parameters as an array to the setting's
For example, this rule would match a request URL containing the
environment=testquery parameters:
query-params: { environment: [ production, test ] }
Note: For Puppet 3 master endpoints, the
environmentwas represented as the first subpath in the URL instead of as a query parameter. As noted in the Puppet 3 agent compatibility section, Puppet Server translates incoming Puppet 3-style URLs to Puppet 4-style URLs before evaluating them against the new HOCON
auth.confrules, so the
query-paramsapproach above replaces environment-specific rules for both Puppet 3 and Puppet 4.
allow-unauthenticated, and
After each rule's
match-request section, it must also have an
allow-unauthenticated, or
deny parameter. (You can set both
allow and
deny parameters for a rule, though Puppet Server always prioritizes
deny over
allow when a request matches both.)
If a request matches the rule, Puppet Server checks the request's authenticated "name" (see
allow-header-cert-info) against these parameters to determine what to do with the request.
allow-unauthenticated: If this Boolean parameter is set to
true, Puppet Server allows the request — even if it can't determine an authenticated name. This is a potentially insecure configuration — be careful when enabling it. A rule with this parameter set to
truecan't also contain the
allow: This parameter can take a single string value, an array of string values, a single map value with either an
certnamekey, or an array of string and map values.
The string values can contain:
- An exact domain name, such as
- A glob of names containing a
*in the first segment, such as
*.example.comor simply
- A regular expression surrounded by
/characters, such as
- A backreference to a regular expression's capture group in the
pathvalue, if the rule also contains a
typevalue of
regex. For example, if the path for the rule were
"^/example/([^/]+)$", you can make a backreference to the first capture group using a value like
The map values can contain:
- An
extensionskey that specifies an array of matching X.509 extensions. Puppet Server authenticates the request only if each key in the map appears in the request, and each key's value exactly matches.
certnamekey equivalent to a bare string.
If the request's authenticated name matches the parameter's value, Puppet Server allows it.
- An exact domain name, such as
Note: If you are using Puppet Server with the CA disabled, you must use OID values for the extensions. Puppet Server will not be able to resolve short names in this mode.
deny: This parameter can take the same types of values as the
allowparameter, but refuses the request if the authenticated name matches — even if the rule contains an
allowvalue that also matches.
Note: The new authentication method introduced in Puppet Server 2.2.0 does not support, or provide an equivalent to, the
deny_ipparameters in the deprecated Puppet
auth.confrule format.
Also, in the HOCON Puppet Server authentication method, there is no directly equivalent behavior to the deprecated
After each rule's
match-request section, the required
sort-order parameter sets the order in which Puppet Server evaluates the rule by prioritizing it on a numeric value between 1 and 399 (to be evaluated before default Puppet rules) or 601 to 998 (to be evaluated after Puppet), with lower-numbered values evaluated first. Puppet Server secondarily sorts rules lexicographically by the
name string value's Unicode code points.
sort-order: 1
After each rule's
match-request section, this required parameter's unique string value identifies the rule to Puppet Server. The
name value is also written to server logs and error responses returned to unauthorized clients.
name: "my path"
Note: If multiple rules have the same
namevalue, Puppet Server will fail to launch.
Puppet 3 Agent Compatibility
Puppet 4 changed the URL structure for Puppet master and CA endpoints. For more information, see:
- Puppet 4 HTTPS API documentation
- Puppet 3 HTTPS API documentation
- Puppet 4
- Puppet 3
Puppet Server allows agents to make requests at the old URLs and internally translates them as requests to the new endpoints. However, rules in
auth.conf that match Puppet 3-style URLs will have no effect. For more information, see Backward Compatibility With Puppet 3 Agents.
Related Configuration Settings
For backward compatibility, settings in
puppetserver.conf also control whether to use the new Puppet Server authorization method for certain endpoints:
use-legacy-auth-confin the
jruby-puppetsection: If
true, Puppet Server uses the Ruby authorization methods and Puppet
auth.confrule format and warns you that this is deprecated. If
false, Puppet Server uses the new authorization method and HOCON
auth.confformat. Default:
client-whitelistin the
puppet-adminsection: If
authorization-requiredis set to
client-whitelisthas at least one entry, Puppet Server authorizes requests to Puppet Server's administrative API according to the parameters' values. See the
puppetserver.confdocumentation for more information on these settings. If
authorization-requiredis set to
trueor not set and
client-whitelistis set to an empty list or not set, Puppet Server authorizes requests to Puppet Server's administrative API using the authorization method introduced in Puppet Server 2.2.0.
certificate-status.client-whitelistin the
certificate-authoritysection: If
authorization-requiredis set to
client-whitelisthas one or more entries, Puppet Server handles requests made to its Certificate Status API according to the parameters' values. See the
ca.confdocumentation for more information on these settings. If
authorization-requiredis set to
trueor not set and the
client-whitelistis set to an empty list or not set, Puppet Server authorizes requests using the authorization method introduced in Puppet Server 2.2.0.
Deprecated Ruby Parameters
Deprecation note: The legacy Puppet
auth.confrules for the master endpoints, and client whitelists for the Puppet admin and certificate status endpoints, are deprecated. Convert your configuration files to the HOCON formats using the equivalent HOCON parameters.
Rules with a
path parameter apply only to endpoints with URLs that start with the parameter's value. In the deprecated Puppet
auth.conf rule format, start the
path value with a tilde (
~) character to indicate that it contains a regular expression.
# Regular expression to match a path in a URL.
path ~ ^/puppet/v3/report/([^/]+)$
# Literal string to match at the start of a URL's path.
path /puppet/v3/report/
If a rule contains the
method parameter, it only applies to requests that use the value's corresponding HTTP methods. In the deprecated Puppet
auth.conf rule format, use indirector names for the
method value:
|GET and POST
|GET and POST, for endpoints with names that end in "s" or "_search"
For more details, see the Puppet
auth.conf documentation.
# Use GET and POST.
method: find
# Use PUT.

For endpoints on a Puppet 4 master, you can supply the
environment as a query parameter suffix on the request's base URL. In a deprecated Puppet
auth.conf rule, the
environment parameter adds a comma-separated list of query parameters as a suffix to the base URL.
environment: production,test
Note: For Puppet 3 master endpoints, the
environmentwas represented as the first subpath in the URL instead of as a query parameter. As noted in the Puppet 3 agent compatibility section, Puppet Server translates incoming Puppet 3-style URLs to Puppet 4-style URLs before evaluating them.
In a deprecated Puppet
auth.conf rule, the
auth parameter specifies whether a rule applies only to authenticated clients (
on; that is, those that provide a client certificate), only to unauthenticated clients (
off), or to both (
For example, the following deprecated Puppet
auth.conf rule matches all clients, including those that do not have to be authenticated:
auth: any
Note: In the new HOCON
auth.conffile, there is no directly equivalent behavior to the deprecated
If you've enabled the new authentication method introduced in Puppet Server 2.2.0, Puppet Server ignores the setting of the same name in the deprecated
master.conf in favor of this setting in Puppet Server's new HOCON
auth.conf file. If you use the deprecated authentication method and Puppet
auth.conf rules and want to configure this setting, you must do so in

We have an exciting week of ultrarunning ahead of us, filled with 100-milers, 50-milers, 50ks, and 24 hour runs, taking place all across this great nation. Today you will get a sneak peak at three 100-mile events : the Moab 100 (Moab, Utah); the self-supported fat-ass Paulinskill Sussex 100 (Mount Olive, NJ), and the event that sold out in less than 6 minutes, the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Run (Raleigh, NC) – and that's just the appetizer, as we take a roller coaster rider across the USA in this week's edition of TWIR.
We begin, of course, with the 100-miler that TWIR will be attending, the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Run in Raleigh, North Carolina. Yes, it is true, online registration closed for Umstead in less than 6 minutes! Designed to help new ultra runners bridge the quantum leap from 50 mile runs to the mountainous and more rigorous demands of most 100 mile endurance runs, Umstead allows those runners who have difficulty finishing 100 miles in 24 hours (or just finishing 100 miles period) the opportunity to do so when severe topography, heat, and getting lost are removed as major obstacles (see 2010 Race Information Packet).
The entire event takes place in Umstead State Park (near Raleigh and Cary, NC) and is run on a 12.5 mile loop with spurs (8 loops and you've hit 100 miles). The Headquarters Spur is 1.85 miles long and accesses the start/finish aid station, race headquarters and parking. This spur contains two-way traffic, allowing runners to see other runners who are up to 5.3 miles ahead/behind. The other "spur" is the .75 mile long Airport Spur. The course is along a converted dirt road, which now serves as a running, biking and bridle trail through the Park. The trail width varies between 10 and 15 feet and the footing is excellent. There is no single-track on the course. The surface consists primarily of hard-packed powdered, granite screenings, although there is crusher run material on the vehicle access road portion of the course leading into Camp Lapihio. 8,000 feet of climbing (1,000′ per loop) is covered on the course's rolling topography. There are two fully-staffed aid stations, and several un-manned "water only" stops.
The Umstead 100 course records are held by David Luljak (14:38:43 – 1999) and Jill Perry (16:02:27 – 2009). The 2009 edition saw the race's closest ever one/two finish in both the men's and women's categories, with Jill Perry (16:02:27) besting Kris Whorton (16:05:34) by a mere 3 minutes and 7 seconds, and Dave James (15:05:10) topping Joe Kulak (15:26:07) by just under 21 minutes. Perry is returning in 2010 to defend her 2009 title.
From North Carolina we head to Moab, Utah and the beautiful desert landscape that hosts the Moab 100. This year's race is run on the Monitor and Merrimac trail, 16 miles North of Moab. Runners will tackle 6-mile laps and approximately 7,000 feet of climbing, with a 30 hour cut-off. If you don't finish within the cut-off, no worries, the race drops you into the 24 Hours of Utah event and gives you a finish time there.
Part of the Watchung Winter Ultras, the Paulinskill Sussex 100 in Mount Olive, New Jersey is self-supported, fat ass style. The Paulinskill Valley Trail and the Sussex Branch Trail are echoes from the past of thriving railroads that connect to the surrounding cultural and natural environment. Passing through the Highlands, Ridge and Valley physiographic provinces of northern New Jersey in Sussex and Warren counties, these once abandoned railroad corridors cross landscapes of mostly farmland, forests, streams and towns. The trails intersect at Warbasse Junction in Lafayette Township, Sussex County. Both corridors are part of Kittatinny Valley State Park and the New Jersey Trails Systems. The Paulinskill Valley Trail extends 27 miles from Knowlton east to its terminus at Sparta Junction. Rock outcroppings, farmlands, small towns, forests and wetlands are among the diverse landscape features found along the trail. The Sussex Branch Trail follows a 20-mile route beginning from the north at the Frankford Township-Branchville Borough boundary, and continues to its southern terminus in Byram Township at Waterloo Road. The trail passes through rural and forested landscapes in addition to swamps, lakes and small communities.
The 10th annual Chicago Lakefront 50k kicks off on Saturday in Chicago, Illinois. The race starts and finishes on Chicago's lakefront at Foster Avenue Beach House, and consists of 3 out-and-back segments following the Lakefront running path that is mostly gravel with some asphalt sections. It is considered one of the flattest 50k's in North America.
The Lake Sonoma 50 Mile in Lake Sonoma, Geyserville, California is sold out. The course is 82% single-track trail and 18% dirt fire road (and about 300 yards of pavement). The trail is consistently rolling with three significant climbs. There is about 10,500 feet of elevation gain/loss over the generally good quality trail. There are few rocks and almost no roots; however, much of the trail is seldom used and runners can expect many sticks and leaves. Men's and women's course records were set in 2009 by Jonathan Olsen (7:30:58) and Suzanna Bon (8:43:30).
The Beast Series continues this week with the Terrapin Mountain 50k in Sedalia, Virginia The multiple loop course has 7,560 feet of elevation gain. The 50k course records are held by Jordan Whitlock (4:13:27 – 2009) and Heather Fisher (5:09:52 – 2009). Check out the race web-site for more details.
Another Virginia race (this one is in Lyndhurst) is the Bel Monte Endurance Run (50 mile, 50k, 25k and 4 mile trail races). The 50 miler has 11,009 feet of elevation gain/loss with at least 3 significant climbs. The 50k is equally challenging and features 6,300 feet of elevation gain. Bradley Mongold (7:56:38 – 2009) and Amy Sproston (9:26:23 – 2009) hold the 50 mile course records, while husband and wife team Mark Lundblad (4:18:53 – 2008) and Anne Riddle Lundblad (4:55:19 – 2005) hold the 50k course records.
The 8th Gator Trail 50k takes place at Lake Waccamaw State Park, North Carolina. The park is located next to the 25 square-mile Lake Waccamaw and borders the Green Swamp, an area of major biological significance that harbors rare plants and abundant animal life. The 50k consists of 6 circuits of a flat, 5.2-mile loop on scenic pine and oak tree-lined park trails and roads. The course terrain is 90% trails (some wide with sandy or pine straw-covered firm footing, some narrow with foot-grabbing roots and possible muddy spots), 7% asphalt park roads, and 3% boardwalk over the swamp. About 20% of the trail is primitive and challenging. Roots and branches may cause you to trip and fall (sounds like a typical trail race).
Also take a look at the race web-sites of some of the other ultras taking place this weekend – Clinton Lake 30 Mile Trail Run (Dewitt, Illinois), Antelope Island Buffalo Run 50k (Syracuse, Utah), [Update: this is next weekend Hog's Hunt 50k/25k (Huntsville, Texas), and Desert Dash (Boulder City, Nevada). Of course, let us and our readers know what else is happening in ultra-world this weekend by leaving a comment with all the "dirt" !

Accolades and some random facts
I recently was awarded the Butterfly Award by Flower from Flowers at Home who has a very sweet blog chronicling her experiments in the kitchen as she learns about vegan and vegetarian cooking. She has a cute fluffy cat and I am hoping to see more of her cheerfully coloured cups she makes in pottery!
Soon after I was awarded the I love your blog award by Katie of Apple and Spice. Katie does a lot of fine baking and right now is in the middle of a series of posts about baking her Christmas cake. I can't wait to see the finished product because she has a way of presenting her baked goods with finesse.
I also wanted to mention a couple of nice comments recently that particularly appealed to me. Lucy said I was the Poster Girl for Pumpkin. Meanwhile Bee and Catherine called me the Nut Roast Queen. These are fine accolades indeed as I can't think of better foods to be associated with than pumpkin and nut roasts.
So big thanks to Flower and Katie for the awards and to everyone who takes the time to write lovely comments on my blog. Your kind and thoughtful words always cheer me up. I know I should pass on awards and I always mean to but when it comes to choosing who to pass it on to, I don't want to miss anyone out because there are just too many great blogs to choose from. So until one day when I will try and pass on some awards, I want everyone to know your time and comments and awards are appreciated.
Warm gooey feelings aside, here is the 7 Random Facts meme passed onto me by Flower. Thanks (again) Flower for some foodie-free fun.
1. A favourite serving bowl in my kitchen is one that I bought from beside the sea of Galilee in Israel where Jesus was said to have performed the miracle of the loaves and the fishes. I always feel this bowl should feed hungry hoards even though it is quite small. (See picture above)
2. I don't give blood at the blood bank any more because the last time I did I sort of fainted and then lay on a bed in so much pain that neither I nor the staff want to go through that again.
3. I was named after my great grandmother. I hardly remember her because she died when I was young. We called her Other Nan – because we called one of my grandmothers, Nan. In my mind she looks like the pretty young woman in a white dress and big hat which is how she appears in a photo on my shelves.
4. One thing I love about summer is being able to walk around barefoot at home. Soon as I get home from work the shoes go off.
5. I was knocked off my bike a few years ago by a local councillor who didn't see me as he drove around a corner. Luckily I got away with a few bruises and scratches and my bike was intact – but it gave both of us a huge scare. The only real casualty was a pair of woollen tights I had bought in Paris.
6. I love visiting quirky museums – some of the more esoteric ones I have visited have been the Pencil Museum in the Lake District and the Dog Collar museum near Leeds Castle.
7. When I was little, our pet cats lived outside and I had a favourite book called the Outside Cat all about a cat who lived outside and wanted to go inside. Ironically our cat Zinc spends more time inside than out.

Great meme, Nut Roast Queen! I agree about the nut roasts and pumpkin--and very good things with which to be associated :)ReplyDelete
The same thing happened to me giving blood several years ago, and I haven't given since, which makes me sad. But no one wants to have to pick me up off the floor! I love the museums you mention--who'd have though there could BE a "dog collar museum"?? And that bowl is stunning, whatever its size!
Congratulations! They are well deserved.ReplyDelete
You deserve all those fine accolades! And I had exactly the same experience of giving blood as you - I've tried several times and have concluded sadly that it's not for me :( Keep those pumpkin and nut roast posts coming though!ReplyDelete
OMG!!! Are there really museum dedicated to pencils and hotdogs???? Thats just oddReplyDelete
Thanks Ricki - I had a couple of bad experiences before the really bad visit to the blood bank but I still wish I could donate. The dog collar museum is such an esoteric one, I couldn't believe it - tried to find the teatowel I bought there for a photo on the post but it is either well hidden or gone AWOLReplyDelete
Thanks Spacedlaw - very kind!
Thanks Lysy - you too - oh dear! strangely enough I found it easier to give blood in the UK than in Australia and have wondered if they take less there! But maybe not.
Thanks Flower - it amazing what people will dedicate a museum to!
Hi Johanna, I enjoyed your meme, you always have something interesting to impart. Well done on the awards! As to cats, mines far prefer to stay inside, especially when we go to work in the morning and they are hustled out of the door!ReplyDelete
I love your plate Nut Roast Queen!ReplyDelete
And I can't give at the blood bank either. My blood pressure is too low and I pass out every time.
thanks Holler - I don't like the idea of zinc outside while we are at work but now our local council seems to be bringing in new legislation to ban cats on the street after dark so not sure how we will go in winter when we get home at dark!ReplyDelete
Thanks Mary - seems there are a few of us who can't do the blood bank - shame isn't it?
- Anonymous1 December 2008 at 08:32
I hope that councilor now looks Very Carefully before turning corners. There are lots of cyclists in your bit 'o the world. Shame about the Parisian tights though!ReplyDelete
Loved reading your meme. Well done on your accolades, my friend. Well deserved.
You know what makes this meme so good Johanna?ReplyDelete
I can give blood and it made me remember that I heven't been for about 6 months, therefore I have booked an appointment with the Red Cross. So the flow on effect to the post may just be that a life is saved!
thanks Lucy - the councillor was so apologetic I am sure he will be more careful now - I did think of claiming a trip to paris to buy more tights as compensation :-)ReplyDelete
thanks Catherine - that makes me happy to know I can help the blood bank even though I can't give blood!
Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)

H.L. Mencken Not New Yorker Material, Says Unbearable Little Man
In Slate today, Adam Gopnik, the "Adam Gopnik's kids" correspondent for The New Yorker, explains the fine distinctions of New Yorkerania: "compare Mencken and Liebling, often mistaken as twin stylists, and you see the difference between heavy-handed Teutonic mockery and the ideal ironic, stinging, New Yorker tone."
H.L. Mencken, one of the sharpest American critics this side of Mark Twain, was not quite New Yorker material, according to Adam Gopnik. I say this as a great, great fan of A.J. Liebling: fuck you, Adam Gopnik. If A.J. Liebling represents the best tendencies of The New Yorker, then you, Adam Gopnik, represent the very worst: relentless undeserved self-fascination, intolerable elitism, and abiding belief in the fundamental importance of your fucking dog. The group "H.L. Mencken, A.J. Liebling, and Adam Gopnik" includes two of the biggest badasses of 20th century journalism and one dude who believes that "Just a year ago, I gave up sweets" is a legitimately enticing first sentence to readers not related by blood to Adam Gopnik.
Go write another book that will be the talk of Upper East Side private school waiting rooms and give me fewer pages in my New Yorker to flip past in frustration, you twee little pastry fetishist.
"The cynics are right nine times out of ten." - H.L. Mencken. He would have rather written for Gawker, anyhow.

Rimbo Church was built in the late 1400s. It is well-known for its finely mural paintings made around the year 1500. There is also a font (13th century) and crucifix (c. 1275) dating from the earlier church.References:
The Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg is situated in a strategic area on a rocky spur overlooking the Upper Rhine Plain, it was used by successive powers from the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War when it was abandoned. From 1900 to 1908 it was rebuilt at the behest of the German kaiser Wilhelm II. Today it is a major tourist site, attracting more than 500,000 visitors a year.
The first records of a castle built by the Hohenstaufens date back to 1147. The fortress changed its name to Koenigsburg (royal castle) around 1157. The castle was handed over to the Tiersteins by the Habsburgs following its destruction in 1462. They rebuilt and enlarged it, installing a defensive system designed to withstand artillery fire.
The fortification work accomplished over the 15th century did not suffice to keep the Swedish artillery at bay during the Thirty Years War, and the defences were overrun.

Chapter 36
1 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 4 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; 5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. 7 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. 8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 10 These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. 11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. 13 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 14 And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 15 These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 16 Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah. 17 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 18 And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. 20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna. 23 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24 And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 25 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. 26 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. 27 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. 28 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. 29 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 30 Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir. 31 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. 32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 34 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. 35 And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. 36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 37 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. 38 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 39 And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. 40 And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth, 41 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 42 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
Chapter 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. 4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. 12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. 13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. 14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. 18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. 23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; 24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. 28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. 29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. 33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. 36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
Chapter 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. 3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. 4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. 5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. 7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. 12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. 14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. 16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? 18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. 19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not. 21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place. 22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. 23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. 25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff. 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. 27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. 30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Chapter 39
1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. 7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: 15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 17 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: 18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out. 19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. 20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

Peterson: Churchwarden Sandblasted Tankard Fishtail Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-029-100598
In Peterson's 1945 catalog, the Irish marque introduced four Speciality shapes: the Barrel, Tankard, Calabash, and Belgique. The line forgoes Peterson's conventional stamping and shaping cues. Each design receives a name rather than a shape number, and the whole lineup is united by a slender, petite disposition — a stark contrast to the robust, muscular aesthetic that dominates the Irish firm's portfolio. These are the smallest, most lightweight designs Peterson has to offer, and they've been popular favorites over the past 70+ years, with many pipe smokers devoting them to flake tobaccos. Presented here is the sturdy Tankard shape, being essentially a more svelte and streamlined take on the sure-sitting Poker design.
Peterson first introduced Churchwarden pipes in 1945, the long, willowy profiles inherently forgoing the muscular aesthetic that has come to define the Irish marque's approach to pipe design. Such length is much more suited to extended, relaxing smoking sessions, however, the stem allowing for minimal movement while smoking in an armchair. It's for this reason that Churchwardens are often preferred while reading, the Germans going so far as to translate "Churchwarden" as Lesepfeife, which literally means "reading pipe." Slender and lightweight, Peterson's Churchwardens may not be convenient pocket pipes, but they more than make up for it in the comfortable smoking posture they promote — with this particular one commended by a delightful, chocolate-stained sandblast and flashy nickel.-Truett Smith

LONDON — Britain's most senior Roman Catholic cleric has resigned amid allegations of inappropriate behavior made by priests.
The Vatican said Monday that Pope Benedict XVI had formally accepted the resignation of Cardinal Keith O'Brien, archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. The Observer newspaper reported Sunday that the Vatican had been notified of allegations of inappropriate behavior stretching back 30 years.
Three priests in Scotland, as well as a former priest, have lodged complaints to the Vatican's ambassador to Britain and demanded O'Brien's immediate resignation, according to the newspaper.
The 74-year-old cardinal has contested the claims and said he is taking legal advice.
O'Brien had been prepared to resign, citing his age as the cause. He turns 75 on March 17, and the Vatican said the pope had in November accepted a resignation letter under the condition of "nunc pro tunc," meaning "now for later."
The Vatican said Monday, however, that the pontiff had now accepted the resignation "definitively."
It means O'Brien will not take part in the conclave to elect the pope's successor - a process that could begin earlier than March 15 after the rules governing the process were changed in a move announced Monday.
O'Brien said in a statement that it was the pope himself who had decided his resignation would take effect immediately.
"Approaching the age of 75 and at times in indifferent health, I tendered my resignation … some months ago," he said. "The Holy Father has now decided that my resignation will take effect today."
O'Brien would have been Britain's only elector in the papal conclave that will gather to decide on a successor to Benedict XVI.
"I will not join them for this conclave in person," O'Brien said. "I do not wish media attention in Rome to be focused on me -- but rather on Pope Benedict XVI and on his successor."
A hint of O'Brien's accelerated resignation was found Sunday in Edinburgh, when the cardinal did not appear as scheduled to lead a Mass at St. Mary's Cathedral. Instead, Bishop Stephen Robson made a statement on O'Brien's behalf.
"A number of allegations of inappropriate behavior have been made against the cardinal," the statement said. "The cardinal has sought legal advice, and it would be inappropriate to comment at this time. There will be further statements in due course."
Robson is an auxiliary prelate in the Edinburgh diocese.
O'Brien's statement went on to say: "I have valued the opportunity of serving the people of Scotland and overseas in various ways since becoming a priest. Looking back over my years of ministry: For any good I have been able to do, I thank God. For any failures, I apologize to all whom I have offended."
O'Brien had gained a reputation as a hard-line conservative and opponent of gay rights.
In 2009, O'Brien urged the Scottish National Party to abandon plans to give gay couples the same foster-parenting rights as straight ones, calling the idea "misguided" and saying that gays were known for unstable relationships.
Last year, he wrote an editorial in the Daily Telegraph in which he urged people to stand up against a proposal to allow gay marriage, which he said was "madness." He referred then to same-sex marriage as a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right."
O'Brien's stance and other comments led the gay rights group Stonewall UK last year to nominate him for its "Bigot of the Year" award.
"Ten-thousand people overwhelmingly, decisively voted that he should be given that award," said Colin MacFarlane, director of Stonewall Scotland. "We don't call people a bigot because they disagree with us. We reserve that for people who use the kind of language the cardinal has used. He has gone out of his way. It has not been fair discourse. His language has been cruel, hurtful and pernicious."
The group's response to news of O'Brien's resignation was unsurprising.
"We trust there will now be a full investigation into the serious allegations made against Cardinal O'Brien," MacFarlane said. "We hope his successor will show a little more Christian charity towards openly gay people than the cardinal did himself."
Two weeks ago, the pope's brother, the Rev. Georg Ratzinger, said scandals had troubled Benedict XVI and may have contributed to his decision to retire.
He specifically mentioned that Benedict had been bothered by the "Vatileaks" scandal in which a butler leaked secret documents, as well as the "the relationship to the Pius Brotherhood."
That organization, formally known as the Society of St. Pius X, fell into a harsh public spotlight in December when its leader, Bishop Bernard Fellay, said Jews were "the enemies of the church." His comment drew criticism from all corners of the church and from the public in general.
Georg Ratzinger said he thought his brother had handled those problems well but that they had taken their toll.

If 2011 was the year of the Arab Spring, 2013 looks to be the year of the Arab Fall. The hopes of quick, easy democracy have already been eclipsed by the rise of radical Islamist groups, which are no less extreme for coming to power through elections. And so the coming months are likely to see more disillusion, violence, and the entrenchment of Islamist regimes.
Let's start with the Gaza Strip. Hamas is determined to fight Israel in the belief that it can win total victory. Its five years in power have had no moderating effect and it doesn't care how much of Gaza is destroyed, how much the people there suffer, or how many are killed. It puts a priority on jihad and hopes that international pressure will always stop Israel from continuing its retaliation too long, much less overthrowing the regime there.
Hamas may be moved by fearing that the regime might fall, the people might turn actively against it (but with Fatah not trying to overthrow Hamas a real internal threat is unlikely). But the key factor is how much help Hamas can expect from Egypt. Right now and in the current war, Egypt is still cautious. The regime hasn't really entrenched itself in power, begun Islamizing the country, and consolidated control over the army. But in the coming months, as the regime needs to distract its peoples attention from failures and mobilize support the next war with Hamas might involve some higher level of Egyptian involvement. And that would really be a conflict to shake the Middle East.
Then there was the place where hope for democracy was greatest, Tunisia, where the dramatic events of 2011 began. The Muslim Brotherhood won with just over 40 percent of the votes—with the secularists split into four rival parties—and formed a government that was to oversee the transition and prepare a constitution.
Now, however, there is a violent Salafist movement which has clashed with secularists and is trying to impose its brand of Sharia on the society. There have been street battles, deaths, and attacks on police stations. A local secular party leader was murdered by Islamists; an Islamist stabbed a police chief and in response to that attacker's arrest, hundreds of armed Salafists went into the streets threatening retaliation. Rioters torched the American school, attacked the U.S. embassy, and plotted to kidnap several members of Tunisia's small Jewish community.
Islamic clerics are increasingly outspoken in their demands for a total transformation of the country. That doesn't mean they will win but it does mean there will be a growing atmosphere of intimidation, violence, and extremism. Despite a lot of talk and some international conferences with lots of air travel and nice banquets, there has been no massive international aid effort for Tunisia. Tourism is plummeting.
The "moderate" Islamist Rachid al-Ghannouchi, gives speeches to loyalists explaining that it will take time to impose Sharia law. First, the Islamists have to get their people into controlling the government ministries and the army.
Everything that's been happening in Tunisia has been taking place on a far larger scale in Egypt. We still haven't seen a draft of the constitution but since it is being written by the Brotherhood and Salafists the limit on Islamist dictatorship will only be what they are willing to put into it as a sign of their patience and caution. The army was quickly taken over with the forced retirement of lots of officers and their replacement by opportunists willing to follow the Brotherhood's orders.
During the coming months, we can expect to see more attacks on Christians, women rejecting Islamist restrictions, and secularists. Assaults on American institutions in these two countries are quite likely, even if there is not some new offensive video. What is especially disconcerting is the growing data on the formation of terrorist groups. In the Sinai peninsula, , there is already a low-level war going on as Salafists launch attacks on dissidents, police stations, and across the across the border into Israel.
One factor that has definitely not changed in Middle Eastern politics is how violence and killing—or the threat to do so—is not just a last resort, it's the first resort.
For example, a Syrian opposition activist and a pro-Hizballah Lebanese journalist were being interviewed on Al-Arabiya television, the more moderate rival of al-Jazira. The activist, Ammar al-Qurabi, director-general of the National Organization of Human Rights in Syria, at one point remarked that Hizballah Secretary-General Nasrallah would end up being found hiding in a sewer like, he said, Libyan dictator Muammar al-Qadhafi. He might also have mentioned that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was captured while hiding in a hole. Both former dictators were executed.
The journalist, Ghassan Jawwad, angrily responded, "You will be killed" for saying that. The host tried to calm Jawwad in vain.
Qurabi later remarked, "This is their response to any attempt at dialogue," he said. A Lebanese friend of mine once remarked that a Syrian official could never say anything without including a threat. And thus Qurabi added, "This was the basis for the revolution in Syria." But it is also the basis for the death of tens of thousands in Syria and increased violence in Lebanon.
Three events that might not make it into 2013—they could take until 2014–but whose signs will be increasingly visible, are:
–The end of the Syrian civil war with the overthrow of the Bashar al-Asad regime and the coming to power of a rebel coalition dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists.
–An economic crisis in Egypt that will drive the Brotherhood regime—and simultaneously give it an excuse—toward greater extremism, a crackdown on dissidents, and a growing hysteria against the United States and Israel.
–Iran obtaining nuclear weapons or being attacked by Israel.
In Libya, though, things may move more quickly. There, in contrast to Egypt and Tunisia, there is no Islamist regime to appease the Salafists or keep them under control. The killing of four Americans in Benghazi seems like a prelude to a new Libyan civil war. Radical Islamists, with support from some of the armed militias that did or did not join the country's army, try to overthrow what they see as a Western puppet regime despite its winning an election.
The bitter fruits of the Obama Administration's pro-Islamist policy will be increasingly visible. The only question is whether the Obama Administration will still be around to respond ineffectively or even to keep helping the anti-American forces.
[For a graphic vision of what might be coming elsewhere see this amazing collection of Russian photos from Syrian civil war Photos 5-8: the killing by rebels of a guy in civilian clothes (pro-regime militiaman?) Most of the weapons are AK-47 and other Russian equipment with the exception of a futuristic-looking AUG, Austrian-made assault rifle. (Military affairs consultant, Daniel Rubin).]

Terry Richardson shot Mariah Carey for Wonderland magazine's summer issue and, according to the unretouched images obtained exclusively by Jezebel, it would seem that Uncle Terry's point-and-shoot-built-in-flash style isn't flattering enough for publication.
Perhaps what's most striking about these images is how much color correction is used, almost like everything in the frame (save for the white background) needed to be painted back to life. Even Mariah's makeup needed to be digitally added after getting so washed out by the flash. (And you know that woman does not cut corners on her glam squad and has the best makeup artist that money can buy.)
What's supposed to be so remarkable about Richardson's signature style is how his otherwise amateur methods, when used to shoot high-profile celebs, create uniquely candid portraits that appear to be at once documentary and aspirational. His bare bones sets and harsh flashes suggest a spontaneity that is meant to imply the authenticity of that particular moment. But this doesn't seem very authentic at all.

Wooden Starbucks Interior Design in Fukuoka by Kengo Kuma and Associates
Location: Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan
Year: 2008
Area: 213 sqm
Photo courtesy: Masao Nishikawa
Location of this Starbucks is somehow characteristic, as it stands on the main approach to the Dazaifu Tenmangu, one of the most major shrines in Japan. Established in 919 A.D., the shrine has been worshiped as "the God for Examination," and receives about 2 million visitors a year who wish their success. Along the main path to the shrine, there are traditional Japanese buildings in one or two stories. The project aimed to make a structure that harmonizes with such townscape, using a unique system of weaving thin woods diagonally.
The building is made of 2,000 stick-like parts in the sizes of 1.3m – 4m length and 6cm section. Total length of the sticks reached as far as 4.4km. We had experimented the weaving of sticks for the project of Chidori and GC Prostho Museum Research Center, and this time we tried the diagonal weaving in order to bring in a sense of direction and fluidity. Three sticks are joined at one point in Chidori and GC, while in Starbucks four steps come to one point because of the diagonal – a more complicated joint.
We solved the problem by slightly changing positions of the fulcrums, dividing the four sticks into two groups to avoid concentration on a single point. Piling up of small parts from the ground was highly developed in the traditional architecture of Japan and China. This time the method was greatly improved in combination with state-of-the art technology so that people are brought further into the architecture. It is a fluid, cave-like space.
Thank you for reading this article!

Xcore. Xcore allows to specify Ecore models textually, including the behavioral parts and the code generation parameters. Having a single source of information facilitates the maintanance of such a model drastically. Xcore is shipped with EMF.
In the upcoming Eclipse release 4.3 (Kepler) Xcore and Xtext can be used together. Here is a step-by-step example how to do this with Xtext's "Greetings" language:
- Create an Xtext project File > New > Project > Xtext Project. The defaults are fine. This will create the usual four projects for your Xtext language in your workspace.
- By default, Xcore generates its code to the folder src-gen. The same folder is used by Xtext and will be wiped each time you regenerate the language from the grammar. To avoid loosing data, choose a separate output folder for Xcore: Eclipse/Window > Preferences > Xcore > Compiler > Output Folder > Directory > ./emf-gen
- Create a new folder model in the root of org.xtext.example.mydsl and file Greetings.xcore inside that folder. Our Ecore model consists of an EPackage org.xtext.example.mydsl, two EClasses Model and Greetings, a containment EReference greetings and an EAttribute name. In Xcore, this looks like
- Open the grammar MyDsl.xtext. By default, the Ecore model myDsl is generated from the grammar rules. We want to replace this with the Ecore model specified in the Xcore file:
- We have to load the Xcore model in the workflow GenerateMyDsl.mwe2 of the language generator. Add an appropriate loadedResource entry to the language section:
module org.xtext.example.mydsl.GenerateMyDsl ... Workflow { ... component = Generator { ... language = auto-inject { loadedResource =
"platform:/resource/${projectName}/model/Greetings.xcore" uri = ...
- You have to add a dependency to org.eclipse.emf.xcore in the MANIFEST.MF of the project.
- Now generate the language infrastructure Run As > MWE2 Workflow. There should not be any error.
- Make sure that all folders will be correctly deployed. Your build.properties file should look like this
- Launch a new Eclipse workbench Run > Run Configurations > Eclipse Application > Launch Runtime Eclipse and enjoy your language in action
Sorry, I couldn't resist ;-)
