Whats your Recent Favorite Grisman tune on your ipod or CD you keep replaying?
Mine happens to be Dawgnation!
Mellow Mang
Dawg after dark.
Gotta admit that I don't play too many Grisman tunes (I wish I did though). The one that I do play fairly often is Pigeon Roost from the Bluegrass Reunion recording. I worked that one up for mandolin contest years ago and I still like to play it. Janice is also high on my list to learn.
I don't have a favorite tune, but I do have a favorite Dawg activity. I like to listen closely to Grisman and Statman's Mandolin abstractions for melodic ideas to write around or use in solos. Great stuff hiding the corners of that album.
I would have to say Dawg Funk. 2nd would be friend of the devil with Jerry.
At this point in time without a doubt it would be Mugavero, a John Carlini tune
Dawg is my mandolin player loved. I love much of his songs but if I have to think an favourite song it is, sure, Dawg's Rag.
My fav is from the Quintet '80 'record'. It's 'Barkley's Bug'. For one thing it reminds me of my old favorite cat (Smokey) and It's just a beautiful composition.....And the guitar work by Mark O'Connor is just the best.
Dawg's Rag. That is with out a doubt the best acoustic piece in the world
Still working on Japan and Fanny Hill. Also really want to learn Dawg's Bull well.
I would have to say E.M.D. Every time I've played it at a competition, I've won. So its made it way to the top of my list. I really like "The Thrill Is Gone" by him and Jerry Garcia also.
Albuquerque Turkey, which I think is from Mondo Mando. Been loving it for years but couldn't quite hear the syncopation correctly. One of the few times I've used the tablature available to solve what was a musical problem. I can now play it in a jam well enough that it's recognized. Mark O'Conner's long solo is just staggeringly beautiful.
~~Joe H~~~~
Blue Midnight from the DGQ reunion is just a killer. Those guys take it by the balls and pull. Just excellent stuff.
Mine is the Newly wedding song
My first album was Mondo Mando LP, purchased from the bargain bin at HMV record shop (UK) in 1982.
DAWG FUNK was my first favorite, so I learned to play it.
Whenever the track ended, JAPAN would play, so I learned that one next. I worked my way through (pretty much all of) that album, and imported the rest, and proceeded to copy what I could from those.
I've had a few band incarnations that played mostly Dawg. I still enjoy a rip around *ALBUQUERQUE TURKEY (also the name of my first band).
As I write this, my favorite is DEL AND DAWG.
*I once won 1st prize in an Advanced Mandolin contest playing a medley of *ALBUQUERQUE TURKEY / PUPVILLE.
It's so HARD to pick from a long list of favorites, but I agree that DAWG'S RAG is a belter!
"Current Favorite" is so apropos as nearly every Grisman tune will get the "favorite" treatment at some point. My CF right now is Waltz For Gigi. What an amazing tune. Here's my little take at the tab, it's a blast to play and it's got that great repeating groove rhythm that could go on forever . . . I think it's: Bm / C#m / D / C#m7

Mas'oud Jebraili, head of Abadan's Petrochemical Co. in southern Iran, has told the official IRNA news agency that the US firm in question has conducted some negotiations with his company through its European branch to buy Iranian petrochemical products.
Jebraili said the US company, whose name he did not disclose over ongoing talks, has requested to purchase PVC products.
He said a number of Italian, Spanish, German and Indian companies have already laid down requests to import products from Abadan's Petrochemical Co.
The Iranian petrochemical firm says it registered a maximum annual production of 59,800 tons of PVC in 2005.
Iran's petrochemical production is expected to hit 70 million tons worth $27 billion at current prices in the current Iranian calendar year (started March 20), officials at the National Petrochemical Company (NPC) have said.
The country seeks to more than double this capacity in the next decade, which requires between $7 billion to $10 billion of annual investment.
Officials said Iran's petrochemical manufacturers were turning to the Europeans for finance, ditching Chinese investors because they were charging high commissions and fees.

In 2021 we expect to see both the European Commission and UK government progress their ambitious plans for a European Data Strategy and National Data Strategy, respectively.
These initiatives were launched in recognition of the importance that data in its all forms plays in industry and innovation, and the benefits that data use can deliver to individuals.
The aims of both Data Strategies are aspirational – they envisage "better" use of data across sectors to boost productivity, trade and employment, drive research and innovation, and empower individuals. They also contemplate greater investment in data infrastructure and skills. Significantly for businesses that collect and rely on data, both Strategies place importance on data being shared and accessible on fair terms.
As these Strategies develop in 2021, we'll begin to see how aspiration will translate into concrete measures and potentially also legislation. Data-driven businesses should carefully monitor these developments and capitalise on opportunities to influence policy-making in this area.
The European Commission aims to make Europe the global data hub and a leading data-agile economy. The strategy is broad, reflecting the fact that data is essential to so many different sectors in different ways. It is also complemented by a range of wider industrial strategies, including making "Europe Fit for the Digital Age" which is one of the Commission's six headline ambitions for 2021.
At its heart is the concept of a single EU market for data whereby data can flow throughout the EU and across sectors, with clear and fair rules on access and use and greater investment in infrastructure.
The draft Data Governance Regulation was published on 25 November 2020. It is the first step in delivering the Strategy and is intended to "offer an alternative model to the data-handling practices of the big tech platforms". The Regulation provides for neutral and transparent data-sharing intermediaries who will not be able to deal with the data on their own account. It includes:
The Commission also comments that the Regulation "supports wider international sharing of data [provided it is] under conditions that ensure compliance with European public interest and the legitimate interests of the data providers".
Further proposals on common data spaces are expected in 2021 and they will be complemented by a European Data Act, due to be published in Q3 of 2021 to foster B2B and B2G data sharing. This Act could provide, among other things, for:
There is also an Implementing Act on the availability (and corresponding re-use) of specific high value public sector data sets in the making (under the Open Data Directive).
The accumulation of data by 'big tech' companies will be addressed more directly, not just as part of the Data Strategy, but in the Digital Services Act package. The President of the European Commission said in her State of the Union Address that "Europe has been too slow and is now dependent on others [in relation to personalised data]. This cannot happen with industrial data". This is why there is a push to set up common European data spaces, to support innovation ecosystems.
As the ongoing global pandemic has (unfortunately) reminded us, there are certain things which can be done only if everybody does it together. The low availability of data for research and innovative uses has brought to the fore underused and timely concepts like "data altruism" where individuals can voluntarily make their data available for the common good. The responses to the Strategy consultation showed there is appetite for it (although, of course, what every citizen will ultimately decide is hard to predict and remains a known unknown).
The Commission is clearly pursuing a number of avenues to ensure that its vision of making the EU "the most attractive, most secure and most dynamic data-agile economy in the world" is achieved. In 2021 (through to 2027) the Commission will invest in a High Impact Project on federated cloud infrastructures and European data spaces.
Much is expected, and we will have to see whether data expectations meet reality in 2021 and the years to come.
The UK National Data Strategy pursues a number of similar goals to the EU Strategy. However, the government's policy paper expressly refers to the UK taking advantage of its independence post Brexit to boost domestic data strength and influence the global approach to data sharing and use, potentially heralding a departure from EU norms, at least in relation to non-personal data.
The UK strategy covers the whole data value chain, including:
For data-driven businesses, some of the key impacts may lie in the government's mission to make data usable, accessible and available across the economy.
The government's policy paper notes that many organisations are limited in their access to data, which may be controlled by a small number of key players, and that much potential lies in linkage and reuse of datasets across organisations and sectors. At the same time, the policy paper acknowledges that government intervention in this regard could have unintended consequences and the benefits of making data widely available must be balanced against the need to maintain commercial incentives to collect and curate data, as well as the rights of individuals.
The government therefore proposes to take an evidence-based approach and will undertake further research to develop its policy in this area. The policy paper contains relatively few concrete proposals and these generally refer to pre-existing initiatives, for example, the work of the Digital Taskforce led by the CMA in relation to digital services providers, the Smart Data initiative that has been used in the banking sector to enable consumer-led data mobility, and the Open Data initiative for public sector data.
The government's consultation on the National Data Strategy, which closes on 9 December 2020, asks a number of questions about the sectors that would most benefit from greater data availability, what the government's role should be in this area, and how barriers faced by SMEs in particular can be tackled. The government's response to the consultation, which also addresses other elements of the National Data Strategy, will likely be published in the new year.
We expect the government's work in framing the UK's data policy to continue through 2021, including formulation of further concrete plans. In the meantime, data-driven businesses have an opportunity to engage with the government to help shape the new policy.
It's clear that both the UK and the EU want to facilitate data sharing on a B2G and B2B level while protecting the rights of individuals. They also both envisage establishing the UK and the EU respectively as global data leaders, promoting international cooperation and setting data standards.
This is important for the UK in particular given that it is hoping to forge new trading relationships from its position outside the EU, and the UK policy paper expressly refers to the UK's independence and sovereignty in formulating its data policy. With each trying to export its own data ambitions internationally, 2021 may well be the year we find out to what extent UK and EU policy are able to diverge on a practical level and which will succeed in gaining greater international traction.

#1: Planks
The BEST exercise to increase total core strength safely and effectively is a plank. Planks are a simple exercise for women and can be done virtually anywhere. They are a very safe, and can even be done during late pregnancy. Planks are done for time, so it is very easy to see increases in strength... and better yet, strength improves quickly! Once you can complete 3 sets of 1 minute planks in perfect form, there are countless ways to make them more challenging and fun.
Here is what to do...
Lay on the floor on your tummy, plant elbows firmly and directly below shoulders, plant toes firmly on the floor, contract your core muscles to lift your body off the floor- start your timer. You should be in a perfectly straight line from your ankles to your head, try to keep your neck relaxed, and draw your shoulder blades down your back. Hold this form as long as you can, the second your butt sags or raises STOP-- and stop your timer. Try to complete 3 sets of 30-60 second planks at least four days a week. Remember your goal is to reach 3 sets of 1 minute planks... You will improve very quickly with this exercise, so keep pushing your time up gradually!
#2: Rows
One of the best exercises for women to improve posture is rows. There are many variations of rows that can be done at home or at the gym including upright rows, compound rows, and bent-over rows. The rowing motion targets the rhomboid major and minor muscles that are responsible for keeping the shoulder blades (scapulae) retracted which keeps the upper back from rounding. Maintaining strength in these muscles is very important for moms, especially those with babies. Breastfeeding and cradling a baby both encourage shoulder rounding which can lead to back pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain. Rows are the best exercise to strengthen the back and combat shoulder rounding in a balanced way. All women's fitness routines, regardless of their 'mommy status', should include rows to maintain strength of important posture muscles, decrease the likelihood of neck pain, and prevent unsightly humps in the upper back.
Here is what to do...
Complete 3 sets of 12-18 reps of a row exercise, two or three days per week. To determine the appropriate weight for yourself remember that the last 3-5 reps should be difficult to complete in each set... start at a lower weight, and raise it until you find the right weight. (Many women underestimate their strength, make sure to push yourself a bit, you will not see any strength gains if the weight is too light!) If you are including upright rows, or compound rows here are a few very important tips for injury prevention: for perfect form- try to pull your shoulder blades down and back into your back pockets, do not lean back more than 15 degrees, and never strain to finish a set.
#3: Bicep Curl & Press
It's no surprise to many mamas out there, but you need very strong arms to be carting kids around all day. One of the best ways to ensure safety for yourself and your kids while lifting them is to make sure you are strong enough to do it! The motion of lifting babies or children up off the ground involves many muscle groups, a few that need to be strengthened in most women are the biceps and the deltoids. Combining the movement of a bicep curl with an overhead press is the best way to strengthen the arms for the motion of lifting kids. Combo moves are great to add to a women's fitness routine because they are more complicated movements for the body to complete and result in increased heart rate and calorie burn.
Here is what to do...
Complete 3 sets of 12-18 reps of biceps curl & press, two or three days per week. (To determine the appropriate weight for yourself remember that the last 3-5 reps should be difficult to complete in each set... start at a lower weight, and raise it until you find the right weight.)
Find a set of dumbbells that you can complete a few reps of overhead presses with. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, hold dumbbells in both hands with palms facing forward, tighten your core, complete biceps curls by moving your forearm until your hands are near your shoulders, then rotate weights so that palms face forward again, and compete an overhead press by pushing weights up over your head until arms are straight, slowly lower weights to the starting position, and repeat.
#4: Squats
Toned buns are on the to-do list for many women and need to be moved to the top of the list for many mamas! Strong butt muscles are essential for performing daily tasks safely such as lifting kids, carrying groceries, climbing stairs, moving furniture, etc. Women's fitness routines should include lifts to target these muscles. Most people are familiar with the popular lifting mantra "lift with your legs", but many people have no idea how actually do it! The saying is a bit of a misnomer, in actuality, you lift with your butt and your legs. Think about the example of standing and lifting a child up on to your hip, there is a correct and an incorrect way to do it...
Incorrect: bend forward from the waist, grab the child, use your back to pull your upper body back to an upright position.
Correct: squat down so you are closer to the ground, grab the child, use your legs to push your body up to a standing position.
This simple mistake is the cause of countless at-home injuries everyday. The incorrect way uses mainly low back muscles and forces your low back into weighted extension that is very bad for your back (*remember this is a chiropractor writing this article! ) The correct way of lifting puts most of the weight on the butt and legs, for most women these are the strongest muscles of the body! Why not let them do all the work? Whether you are carrying kids, moving boxes or furniture, or hauling groceries it is imperative that you have correct lifting form EVERY TIME!
The best way to strengthen the lower body muscles used for lifting kids, etc. is squats. Squats mimic the movements of proper lifting form so they are a perfect choice to add to a women's exercise regimen. They target the gluteus maximus, but still work the smaller, deeper gluteal muscles too. Squats are easy fitness for women because they can be done anywhere!
Here is what to do...
Complete 3 sets of 20-25 squats two or three days per week. Add hand weights as your three sets get too easy.
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width (like 1-2"), point your toes forward, keep your chest up and find a point in front of you to focus on, begin squatting down by pushing your butt back and bending your knees at the same time, the goal is to get your thighs parallel to the ground, then use your muscles to push you back up to standing position.
INJURY PREVENTION TIPS: Visualization- think about sitting down in a chair that is a bit too far behind you, so you really have to stick your butt out to prevent falling. You should ALWAYS BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR TOES, if not you are doing it wrong! Keep all of your weight on your heels. Keep your core tight to protect your lower back.

#5: Intervals
Fitness for women gets complicated when those ladies are moms too. Moms are always running out of time to get things done, especially things for themselves. Mamas must remember that taking care of your body will directly benefit your children. They will model what you do, if you make exercise a priority for yourself, you are much more likely to raise healthy, active children. So, no Mommy Guilt OK? Even for avid gym mamas, getting more than 30 minutes in is challenging at times. Moms need a cardio workout that will maximize the time they have to dedicate. This is why we recommend interval training for every mom! Intervals provide an amazing workout in a short amount of time and can be modified for any fitness level. They consist of varying speeds to challenge your system, but also provide a recovery period so you don't burn out. Interval training challenges the cardiovascular system to increase lung capacity, improve the function of the heart, burn calories, and more. Not to mention give you some killer tone in your legs! You can complete an interval workout on a treadmill, on the trail, or just around your neighborhood. Perfect for beginners as well as those with fitness experience.
Here is what to do...
There are countless ways to do an interval workout, this is only one example... stay connected with us, there will be more to come!
If you are a beginner: Choose a walking pace that is comfortable, but pushing you a bit, complete a proper 5 minute warm up at this pace then some dynamic stretching. Start your timer and increase your speed to a slow jog for 2 minutes. Then slow to your walking pace for 1 minute to recover. Continue to repeat for 7-10 sets (21-30min.).
If you are experienced: Choose a jogging pace that is comfortable, but pushing you a bit, complete a proper 5 minute warm up at this pace then some dynamic stretching. Start your timer and increase your speed to a fast jog/slow sprint for 2 minutes (a pace that will push you). Then slow your run to a jog for 1 minute to recover. Continue to repeat for 10 sets (30 min.).

I followed you into the dead lands. Into the bone forests. Just because you asked me to that night.
'Walk with me.' That was all it took and we stepped out. 'Stepping out'. Like in my grandparents' day. Only it wasn't and we weren't walking hand-in-hand. There was no honour in us, at least none that I could see. Still, I followed you.
'Walk with me.' Without you. Outside you. But never with you. That was the condition of us. Were we even a 'we'? Stepping out, like my grandparents, in honour of the question.
Still, I walked with you and you spun me tales. Tales of lust. Tales of a living land where we could build something solid. And so I followed you.
'Walk with me.' To a house. A house in a forest. A forest was a home. It was made of bone. Our bone. Blood of my blood. Flesh of my flesh. Building. Growing a thing in me that was you and wasn't you. That was within me and outside you. That was you, in a way, but you with honour. I hoped for honour. Hope followed you.
'Walk with me.' I could see the bones. Trunks. I navigated them without a bone map but I knew that they were dead things. I held a growing thing and kept it safe from their touch. You had fallen silent and I had no space to write the tales to spin the net to catch you before you fell. Falling. You became an echo. A solid thing. A soiled thing. Your body disembodied. As I was more than a body. Less than two. My body a bone cage for a cage of bones that held a tale that hadn't formed its own echo but that echoed you. It would not follow you.
'Walk with me.' I didn't need to say it out loud. I was more than one. I lost you but you were less than a whole. You gave me a piece of you and I carried it. It kicked me. Kicked so hard it kicked itself out and became its own tale spinning away. It became she. She became it. She was a part of you. You were apart. I could not follow you.
'Walk with me.' It was the time of longing. I walked with the hole that wasn't you. It had shed your bones to the forest. The echo filled it with silence. Silence was loud. I shouted the words into the silence. Come back through the bones. Step out with me. Hand-in-hand. Her hand in my hand. Tiny. Trusting. Flesh of my flesh. I couldn't let her follow you.
'Walk with me.' There was a bone map etched on my heart. She couldn't live in the dead lands. In the bone forest. I took her trusting hand. I wove a tale to bring us home. To carry her safe through the bone forest. Through the dead lands. To where the solid things were. We collected bones as we walked, filling the echo space with a skeleton. I wrapped the skeleton in memories. Memories that held the shape of you. She recognised herself in them. Her hand in my hand. Tiny. The silence broken by a bone that broke. Snapped. I watched it fall from her as she became less solid. One foot in the echo space. I spun tales until my fingers bled, spinning the net to catch her as she fell. Trunk by trunk. Bone by bone. It was a net of echoes. Woven. I had the bone map. I could keep her safe. She just needed to follow me.
'Walk with me.'
'With me me me.'
'Me me me.'
You tried to catch her bones with an echo. To break the net of tales. To make her yours. I spun as fast as your echo cut the threads of tales. All the time. Her tiny hand in my hand. Warm. Trusting. As we ran through the bone trees to the edge of the dead land. We stood at the margin, she and I and my net of tales holding the bones in. Before I turned my back on the echo, I shouted into the darkness.
'You will not follow.'
She followed me out of the dead lands. Out of the bone forests. Just because I asked her to that night. The tale was told.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has tweeted he's pulling out of the Future Investment Initiative summit in Saudi Arabia. This comes in the wake of the disappearance of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi as evidence piles up that the journalist was tortured at the direction of Saudi prince Mohammad bin Salman inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey, that he was murdered during the interrogation, and his body cut up and removed in diplomatic bags.
Mnuchin's announcement came moments after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stepped out of the White House and told reporters the Saudis had "assured me they will conduct a complete, thorough investigation of all of the facts surrounding Mr. Khashoggi and do so in a timely fashion and that the report itself will be transparent."
He also said the Saudis asked for a few more days to complete their "investigation, so we too have complete understanding of the facts surrounding that, at which point we can make a decision if the United States should respond to the incident surrounding Mr. Khashoggi."
Mnuchin was under increased pressure to pull out as various U.S. organizations yanked sponsorship and participation of the conference launched last year by Crown Prince MBS as part of his charm initiative to rebrand that country.
Most media companies involved with the conference had already pulled out of next week's confab. Japanese media company Nikkei is the latest to withdraw from the event, dubbed Davos in the Desert, joining CNN, Bloomberg, New York Times, CNBC and the Financial Times, as well as Economist editor in chief Zanny Minton Beddoes and Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong.
Actor Gerard Butler canceled a trip to the country for a screening of his movie Hunter Killer.
In the wake of Khashoggi's disappearance and mounting evidence the Saudis murdered and dismembered him, leading U.S. and international film companies also have been reevaluating their investments in and from the country including Endeavor.
Ditto other business leaders. Virgin Group founder Richard Branson has suspended a $1B investment project while JP Morgan, Uber and Ford joined in with media companies scrubbing sponsorship of the high-profile investment conference in Riyadh next week.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund took a minority stake in Deadline and Variety owner PMC earlier this year for a reported $200 million.

Best Game of Thrones Quotes Season 6 Episode 10
The Season Finale of Game of Thrones Season 6 sticks in everyone's minds, we're sure, as it features such shocking happenings as the King's suicide, Cersei's obliteration of those who opposed her in the Sept of Baelor and therefore assuming the throne, as well as Daenerys sailing over the Narrow Sea to begin her conquering of Westeros.
Here are the best Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10 quotes.
1. "But sometimes before we can usher in the new, the old must be put to rest" – Qyburn
Just before Qyburn has his little birds, the ones he acquired in Varys' absence, to kill the Grand Maester, he tells Pycelle this quote. It refers both to the ancient nature of Pycelle as well as his older methods of healing and asking as the Grand Maester.
2. "Forget about the bloody gods and listen to what I'm telling you. Cersei understands the consequences of her absence and she is absent anyway, which means she does not intend to suffer those consequences. The trial can wait. We all need to leave" – Margaery Tyrell
The only one in the Sept of Baelor who has any inkling of Cersei's wicked plan is Margaery, who does what she can to convince the High Sparrow to allow everyone to flee with this awesome quote, but he and his fellow heretics trap everyone in the Sept causing all of them to burn with wildfire.
3. "I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites" – Cersei Lannister
Speaking to Septa Unella who is destined to die without seeing anyone Cersei doesn't want her to see, she is able to open up about what she does to make her feel good, revealing some rare insight to her thoughts.
4. "She doesn't want me, she wants your golden fingers up her twat" – Bronn
Bronn vents to Jaime about how all girls desire him over anyone else in his usual colorful way.
5. "Yes, well, I suppose that life is irregular" – Samwell Tarly
After arriving at the citadel to be trained as a Maester, Sam is told is arrival is irregular. In a bid to begin the philosophy early, this is his response to the stern man across the table. It is not met with approval.
6. "You're in the great game now, and the great game is terrifying" – Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion asks Dany if she's scared about sailing to Westeros with conquering it in mind, which her expression tells him she is. This is his follow up.
7. "I'd swear you my sword, but I don't actually own a sword" – Tyrion Lannister
Formerly one of the richest men in Westeros, adviser to Queen Daenerys and someone who's killed on occasion, it's revealed that Tyrion doesn't actually own a sword in this funny quote.
8. "My name is Arya Stark. I want you to know that. The last thing you're ever going to see is a Stark smiling down at you as you die" – Arya Stark
Arya brings out a pie to Walder Frey which has his two sons cooked into it, which she slowly reveals to him. After his horror dawns on him, she removes the face she was using to infiltrate his home and tells him who she is, and that a Stark will be his last living sight.
9. "Jon Snow avenged the Red Wedding. He is the White Wolf. THE KING IN THE NORTH!" – Lord Manderly
No, no, no – not this shit again!
Great quotes from a great episode! Be sure to re-live Season 5 of GoT with its best quotes, as well as checking out the two episodes that came before this one.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – so the saying goes. Is that sort of like "is the glass half full or half empty"? Doesn't it all have to do with one's perspective?
How many times do we rush about our day without noticing the faces that pass us by or the autumn trees in their glory, or the shapes of the clouds in the sky? How can one set of parents think their child is the most beautiful face they've ever seen while the same child is being teased by peers about their crooked smile or body shape?
I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is a concept that is constantly moving and changing. As we are exposed to life experiences, and open to new concepts and ideas, our vision changes and our eyes are opened to a world that is much deeper and more complex than our mind could have captured before.
Do you find this picture of pond scum beautiful? With a narrow lens, perhaps not, but when you begin to see the bigger picture and how the colors work together and come to life, like a painted canvas, you begin to see it's place, it's function, it's beauty.
So next time you are quick to judge what you define as lacking beauty, widen your lens, take a step back, and soak in the bigger picture and look at life through a larger lens.

Microsoft has rebranded its interactive live streaming platform Beam as Mixer. It also launched several new features. They include co-streaming and a mobile live streaming app for iOS and Android.
"Why the name change? This was a tough decision, and not one that we made lightly", said Matt Salsamendi, Co-founder and Mixer Engineering Lead. "We believe so much in the power of the platform and want to grow it in every major market around the world. Unfortunately, that wasn't something we could do with the Beam name".
Up to 4 co-streamers
The rebrand comes three years after Amazon acquired Twitch.tv and almost two years after Google's YouTube started the standalone YouTube Gaming app
New streaming mobile apps
Additionally, Microsoft is releasing new Mixer Create mobile apps that will let users stream live.The app will work on both iOS and Android devices. Soon, the app will allow to stream mobile gameplay directly from a smartphone to Mixer. YouTube Gaming has permitted mobile streaming since 2015.
Microsoft has not revealed how many users Beam had. Twitch has nearly 10 million daily active users.

Anne Moody, author of 'Coming of Age in Mississippi,' has died
Anne Moody, who wrote the classic memoir, "Coming of Age in Mississippi," has died.
Funeral services are incomplete at this time for Moody, who died at age 74 Thursday.
"She had determination," recalled the Rev. Ed King, the former chaplain of Tougaloo College. "That determination carried on in her work in the civil rights movement, gave her strength to stand up to things."
Born in 1940 in Wilkinson County, she attended segregated schools and worked to help her poor family.
While attending Natchez Junior College, she became involved with the civil rights movement. She then attended Tougaloo College, where her involvement grew deeper.
On May 28, 1963, she took part in the sit-in at Woolworth's in downtown Jackson. A mob attacked her, Joan Trumpauer and Tougaloo professor John Salter Jr. and others, hitting them and pouring flour, salt, sugar and mustard on top of them.
It was the most violent response to a sit-in in the 1960s in the U.S.
In 1968, she wrote a memoir about her involvement in the movement, "Coming of Age in Mississippi."
She went on to write more stories for books and magazines.
"In the beginning I never really saw myself as a writer," she said. "I was first and foremost an activist in the civil rights movement in Mississippi."
Salter will never forget her.
"Her book, 'Coming of Age in Mississippi,' guarantees her immortality," he wrote. "But more than that, we shall always remember a brave and plucky and committed human being who, despite the many and various vicissitudes, continued toward the Sun."

Heart full of love (and fridge full of soup!): SpReAd the Love Weekly Update
spReAd the love is more than halfway to its February goal, right on time! Check out the soup (and the kindness).
I think that the world is a experiencing a bit more kindness these days…the STL kindness reports keep growing from week to week. Remember, any gesture of kindness, no matter how small, is worthy. Even though it might seem small to you, it probably has a much larger effect on the receiver. Personally, it's been a big week as I wrap up the annual soup sale, that I coordinate as a fundraiser for the Kindergarten-6th Grade Youth Group at my church, by delivering some frozen leftovers to the homeless shelter.
This year we had 85 donated quarts of soup to sell to our congregation (in our "house" if you sell food, they will buy it!) for $5 each to support youth group activities. Part of the funds raised go to offset cost on recreational activities that keep our kids off the mean streets of NE Wisconsin….Yeah, just a tad…

Oohhh...that's the stuff right there.Gurkha Doble Maduro is a luscious handmade featuring a Costa Rican double-maduro leaf that's so dark and oily, you might find yourself trying to take a bite out of it. Masterfully blended and well-aged, it is the very definition of the term juicy! Rich flavors swarm your palate with super-smooth, chocolatey charisma. The aftertaste is long and lasting, offering a slight cedary-sweetness derived from the individual cedar sleeve encasing each cigar. From its pitch-black appearance, many seem to think this is a full-bodied, power smoke. Instead it's luxuriously mellow and medium in strength, delivering an array of relaxing flavors from start to finish, while burning slow and cool right down to the nub.

Ostensibly adapted from a 1971 novel by Will Stanton but in most respects a shameless clone of the Frank Capra-directed classic It's a Wonderful Life (1945), this harmless live-action comedy from Walt Disney Productions takes place in a generic Midwestern city during the Depression. Uptight hardware-store proprietor Charley (Fred MacMurray) focuses so much on work that he's become alienated from his three kids. Meanwhile, his long-suffering wife, Nettie (Cloris Leachman), longs for the adventure of visiting the World's Fair in Chicago. One day, Charley escapes a series of near-fatal accidents and then encounters an angel (Harry Morgan), who explains that he's been tasked with collecting Charley's soul. Charley begs for time in which to settle his affairs, and you can guess what happens next—the brush with morality makes Charley realize how much he has to live for, so he becomes a better father, husband, and person, thereby improving his chances of earning a celestial reprieve. Whereas It's a Wonderful Life goes dark and deep with themes of self-doubt and suicide, Charley and the Angel goes shallow and soothing by suggesting that any individual who makes a sincere effort can dramatically improve the circumstances of his or her life. If only that were so.
In some ways, Charley and the Angel is quite palatable. The storyline is coherent and linear, even with the goofy subplot about Charley's sons inadvertently becoming bootleggers. Production values are excellent, despite the rickety process shots during car scenes; there's even a certain hokey charm to the old-school FX used during scenes of the angel floating through the air and moving objects while invisible. As helmed by the reliable Vincent McEveety, the picture moves along briskly, lingering on important emotional moments just long enough for skilled actors to imbue their characters with humanity. Unsurprisingly, Morgan is the standout because he gets most of the jokes, and his cranky/sweet vibe is appealing. Leachman does respectable work in a thankless role, while Kurt Russell, playing a boy who courts Charley's daughter, provides bland earnestness. As for MacMurray, he lends a somewhat bewildering energy—or rather a somewhat bewildering lack of energy. He's so calm, even when insane things are happening, that he nearly becomes a caricature of the unflappable Disney dad archetype.
Charley and the Angel: FUNKY

The "Whistle Walk" story is related at many Southern plantations where the kitchen is located apart from the main house. It is an imaginative tale, but one with little logic to support it and no actual documentation. Let's face it, the slaves who cooked and prepared food in the detached southern kitchens could easily have (and surely did) tasted and eaten the food inside the kitchen without anyone being the wiser.
One historian who spent her life researching topics involving women's work and home life wrote in 1986 that she had never found any contemporary references that the walkways connecting outside kitchens with inside dining rooms were called "whistle walks." The earliest known written reference comes in 1954 in the book, Shadows in Silver: A Record of Virginia 1850-1900 in Contemporary Photographs, where a picture of a plantation kitchen from the 1890s carries a caption that mentions the story.
"I suspect the story is apocryphal," wrote late Patricia Gibbs, "or perhaps depicts a mid-to-late nineteenth-century practice. Certainly if it really occurred, it was never so widespread as interpretations in many southern historic house museums imply. On the other hand, I think it is quite likely that food en route to the dining rooms was occasionally sampled. Since there is much reliable information to convey about foods and serving practices, I would discourage repeating this story."
Good advice.
Thanks to Bill Backus, Historic Interpreter at Ben Lomond Historic Site/Bristoe Station Battlefield Heritage Park in Prince William County for asking about this story.

I never thought this story made sense for slaves or servants. Weren't they the ones preparing the food in the kitchen, and could taste it there?

Excellent point. And so obvious, I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it!!

My Italian-American father used to tell me his immigrant father made him whistle when getting wine from the cellar. It was always a cute story, but I suspect that's all it is. Thanks for sharing this.

Who is the historian you refer to in this post? I recall reading something to this effect but cannot find the source. I "googled" whistle walk and found your excellent site!

The historian I referred to was Patricia Gibbs, who spent her entire career (I think) at Colonial Williamsburg and was the acknowledged authority on so many subjects, among them women's issues. She died a few years ago, shortly after she retired, and I miss her very much. She had the answer to everything!
amst418 says:
October 27, 2012 at 5:36 pm (Edit)
Thank you for the quick reply. Indeed, it must have been Gibbs. I recently spent a month on fellowship at CW and I'm sure I came across her work there. Thanks!
amst418 says:
October 27, 2012 at 5:39 pm (Edit)
one more thing: do you know the citation for the quote? I have a ton of files that I copied while at CW. Was it from an internal report for the preservation folks?
Mary Miley says:
October 27, 2012 at 8:30 pm (Edit)
It came from a letter dated 9/2/86 that is in the Research Query file at the Rockefeller Library in Williamsburg.

I visited Berkley Plantation for the 51st celebration of the first Thanksgiving on November 4, 2012 and the tour guide reported the tale of the whistling slave tunnel as if historical fact. Even more interesting were the responses of the tourist agreeing that the practice was not only clever but efficient because it alerted those in the main house of their meal's arrival. I dismissed the story as true when I couldn't figure out how the sound would travel from underground through winter's closed door and pierce a home constructed of several layers of brick.

Remember my post on Cher? (Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves) I coveted that Cher Barbie and wanted her hair for myself. So I wore my nightgown on my head and pretended it was my long hair. I totally forgot about Crystal Gayle. How could I? For practically my entire elementary school years, my friend Stacey and I (if you're reading this Stacey, call me- miss you!) secretly listened to her parents' records (yes, records) of Crystal Gayle. She had the longest brown hair. Past her butt. That was what always got us jealous. If you had hair past your butt, then you were so cool.
You remember, "Don't it make my brown eyes blue". She had a really famous song with Eddie Rabbitt, "You and I" (it's on Youtube). Eddie Rabbitt- oh my God- remember him?? No? Me neither. Okay…
So Stacey and I would pretend that we were Crystal Gayle. We took turns who got to use the hairbrush and sing along to the record. When I said we 'secretly' listened to her parents' records, it wasn't that we weren't allowed, it was, we didn't tell any of our friends. I'm sure they were listening to Thriller, The Flashdance Soundtrack, Devo… SHE wasn't allowed to listen to THOSE records. So we made the best of Crystal Gayle. AND Anne Murray. Snowbird is a beautiful song. Just sayin'.
So my other thing besides the Cher doll, that I always asked Santa for, was, a horse. I know this isn't very unusual. Many girls want horses. It didn't make it any better that my English cousin Clare, had her own pony- Beau Brummell. I will never forget that summer we went to visit my dad's family in England. Clare is at least 8 years older than I am. I was 5 at the time. She had been competing in shows on Beau and got a gabillion ribbons and trophies. They were all over her room. I was SOOO jealous! Honestly, I don't remember if it was the horse or the ribbons I was jealous of more. I got to ride Beau for just a bit. The whole famly did. We took turns up and down this strip of pasture while she lead him. There's pictures of us wearing "Britain is Great" t-shirts with the Union Jack on it, and wearing her riding cap. You know those cute velvet ones? They're helmets really, but they look so cute.
I remember begging my parents for a pony of my own. I did this every birthday and Christmas for at least the next 6 years. I'm not sure why mom said, "we'll see", when I asked her. How about just 'no'. The 'we'll see' was torture. That meant, there was actually the slightest, POSSIBILITY I was getting a horse. Mind you, we didn't have any place to put it and couldn't afford to board it. My brother left for college the summer after I turned 7. I figured his room would make a really good stable. My parents didn't go for that idea.
Now don't laugh. Okay, you can laugh.
I want a banjo.
This isn't a childhood dream. I want a banjo now. If you do, 'deendeedeer, der, der, der, der' in that banjo-ey voice, I will scream. Because that's what anyone does when I tell them I want a banjo. They're mocking me. So I like Steve Martin. I like the Dixie Chicks. I want a banjo. I want to shred a banjo like Slash on the guitar. Like Jim Neighbors on the ukelele or was that Captain Kangaroo?
Maybe it was when I was 6 and I saw Kermit the Frog in the Muppet Movie play his banjo by that pond. Oh it was so cute. And I wanted to sing about rainbows and happy things. I can't even play the guitar. But I'm sure I would learn the banjo in a jiffy. And yes, James and the children think I'm out of my mind.
Anyway… if anyone out there has a banjo- and lessons to go with it- I would like that. I'll pay you in cat bubble pictures. Or I'll just sing Crystal Gayle for you… That's a gift in itself.

I'm a month out from my blogs one year anniversary…
I started this to heal and thought my sister and a few friends would read it. I was right, my sister and 270 other people subscribe to it, and a few friends. I have said before I'm coming to an end, I can tell because I post less often, I need to write with less urgency, and my story is almost all told.
It makes me sad, because I've made some friends along the way, and I have helped some lost souls. They break my heart because I was them…I mean I was just like them…I was so broken. I'm still broken, but not how I was. I have found some peace from the voices, my strength from the support of others, and I have more good days than bad (although there are still weeks when the bad days win).
I once thought wouldn't it be cool if I got like a thousand views, if my words were read a thousand times? I'm going to be at 100,00 views this month…shut the front door!!! How the hell did that happen? And I've been read all around the world, by countries I haven't even heard of…How's that for an ordinary, nothing extraordinary person, who wrote her first post with tears streaming down her face?
I've been asked publicly and privately if I will ever write a book…I don't know. Digging down through the dirt on the surface was so stinking hard, I know to go deeper I would be tearing at the scars on my heart.
One summer 7 years ago, I decided I wanted a Koi pond in my backyard, so I grabbed a shovel and started digging. In true Kelly fashion I got through it just because I was too stubborn to quit. I had blisters that popped and would blister again and finally turned to callouses, I used a heating pad and hot bath every evening so I could move the next day. It ended up being four feet deep and five-six feet long and wide. I got 2 feet down and hit rock so I grabbed a pickax and a crow bar to get through the rock. I was so proud when I finished, but I don't know if I could do it again. I don't know if I'm strong enough, and have the will power left in me to dig another pond.
It's kind of the same about writing a book, I'd have to go deep and immerse myself in the dark. I just now got to where I can see the light, I have dug my hole and am ready to put in the liner and fish…I would have to throw it all back in, the dirt and rock, then throw in some cement to bind it and start over.
I'd like to say I'm not afraid…but I know I am. I don't want to get lost in the dark, to get stuck there, whistling and singing at the top of my lungs to keep the monsters at bay.
I am tired.
I am scared.
I am ready to just set by the pond and feed my goldfish.
But sometimes I feel like maybe all of THIS…the total fuckardy of my once happy life, could be made to matter.
I feel like God is sometimes smacking me and saying "You Kelly, can help, you can make a difference, maybe save a life or marriage or two along the way"
Then I think "Seriously Kelly? You are just meant to be a mom and a wife, how vain are you to think you could be something more?"
I'd like to say I know what I'm going to do, I know what is in my future.
I guess I'd like a guarantee that "If you write it, they will read it" or just "It will matter to someone".
Then I think of my kids and wonder if it isn't time to just let it all be over, the unwanted attention me writing this blog caused them. Do they really want to be reminded of it all again?
I don't know…
I know I didn't ask for this.
I know I can just let it all go and it will be a mere chapter in my life.
But it would be really nice if all the bad shit lead up to something good.
But I'm rambling now…
I have time to decide where this story goes…and if this is the final chapter.
"We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
and ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us.
At least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another,
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone."

Bonjour and bienvenue to La Crêpe Franglaise.
I am Michel, the founder of La Crêpe franglaise and early in my career as a chef I worked in the French Alps serving crêpes, and have dreamt of bringing these to the UK ever since. Finally, twenty years later my wife and I made this dream come true when we bought and converted our little Renault van (Marie-Antoinette) and have been having a fantastic time with it ever since.
Everyone loves a crêpe, whether sweet or savoury, traditional or a little bit quirky.
We have worked very hard to master our own recipes, so you are safe in the knowledge that our batters are freshly made and no "packet mix" will ever be used. We try, wherever possible, to use authentic ingredients and products such as Buckwheat flour, Nutella, Crême de Marron, Calvados, Grand Marnier... We do love our classics such as Lemon & Sugar, Crêpe Suzette or Nutella & Banana, but we also like to experiment with other flavours that have more of a British influence like Rhubarb & Custard, Eton Mess or even a Bakewell flavour...
We are proud to be able to cater for a variety of dietary needs including vegetarian and gluten-free.
Met these guys in there stunning little French crepe van.... Must say best I've ever tasted - chocolate hazelnut and marshmallows is a must !!

More formally known as a last will and testament, a will is an important document with many purposes. For many individuals, once they are adult enough to recognize the inevitability of their own mortality, the need for a will is what brings them to an estate planning attorney in the first place. If you live in Houston or its surrounding area, contacting Hegwood Law Group may be one of the wisest choices you ever make. Not only are our capable estate planning attorneys well-prepared to assist you in executing a carefully worded, legally binding will, we are also dedicated to protecting your assets from potential problems. We will help you prepare for and focus on all possible contingencies ranging from illness to inheritance issues to excessive taxation, in order to keep you and your family safe.
What Does a Will Accomplish?
A will is designed for many purposes. It is the defining document stating your final wishes for how your property will be distributed after your death as well as who will handle your finances and perhaps even significant family responsibilities.
A will is designed to:
- Distribute your property to people and/or organizations you have chosen
- Name a guardian to care for your minor children (if necessary)
- Name an executor to manage your finances and implement the stipulations of your will
- Make your wishes known pertaining to your funeral, burial or cremation, and/or memorial
Note that if you do not name an executor in your will, the court will appoint one for you who may not be the person you would have chosen. Although in Texas it is possible to craft a will without an attorney, it is foolish to attempt this task without legal representation. Because it will affect your loved ones and your legacy after you are gone, too much is at stake to view creating a will as a do-it-yourself project.
Legal Requirements for a Valid Will in Texas
For a will to be valid in Texas, the testator must either be at least 18 years of age, be (or have been) legally married, or serve in the military. This is known as "legal capacity." He or she must also be "of sound mind," a condition known as "testamentary capacity," and as well as be aware of all aspects of the act being performed, known as "testamentary intent."
In addition, the will must be signed in the presence of two adult witnesses over the age of 14 who must also sign the will themselves. It is not necessary to have your will notarized in Texas, but if all three parties sign the will in front of a notary, it is possible to expedite the probate process. If your will has been so notarized, the court will accept it as "self-proving" and will not have to contact the witnesses who signed it. The same is true if you write your will in your own handwriting (holographically) before two witnesses and a notary. It should go without saying, however, that it is much safer to make sure your will is valid by having a well-reputed attorney create and execute it.
The court-supervised process of distributing the estate of a person recently deceased is known as probate and in many states can be costly and time-consuming. Fortunately, Texas has a reputation for having a simpler probate process than most states. Even in the Lone Star State, however, having a valid will makes the probate process move along more smoothly than it otherwise would.
Once a will has been probated, the executor is tasked with paying any outstanding debts of the estate and any outstanding taxes. Then he or she is free to distribute the deceased's property according to the provisions of the will.
Dying Intestate
In Texas, similarly to other states, if you die without a will (intestate), the state will decide how your property will be distributed according to strict legal guidelines. State law will give your property first to your spouse and children, then to your grandchildren or parents. State protocol requires that your assets are then distributed to relatives who are increasingly distant, eventually including your spouse's relatives. Of course, this method of distribution will not even approximate your own desires since you may want to distribute your wealth in terms of emotional, rather than blood, ties. There is also the possibility that you want to prevent a close member of your family from being an heir to your estate, a decision that a will can make legally binding.
Beyond that, you should be aware that if you die intestate and do not have relatives in the picture, your property will find its way back into state government coffers. Perhaps even more disturbing, if you do not designate a guardian for your minor children and your spouse (or their other parent) is not around or has died, the court will place your children in the care of a person it deems appropriate, or even place the children in foster care.
Schedule a Consultation With a Houston Wills Attorney Today
Maybe the most important reason for leaving a will behind when you die is as a final act of concern and generosity for your loved ones. They will at least be able to grieve without added financial or logistical worries. It will give you peace of mind to know that you are making life go more smoothly for them at what will undoubtedly be a very difficult time.

When it comes to human health, there are a lot of diseases that are nothing but a nightmare. In fact, there are a lot of diseases that can end up taking away your life and you should know about them. Have you ever heard about Bloodborne pathogens? If you are living under a rock and don't know what it is, then we are about to tell you what those are.
What are Bloodborne Pathogens?
In simple words, Bloodborne pathogens are the disease-causing microbes (microorganisms) that can cause a lot of diseases. These microbes can be bacteria, viruses or any other microorganism that can cause diseases and let us tell you that the diseases are not the ones that will go away after having a medicine. These diseases can be really harmful and might end up taking the life of the person. No, we are not increasing your stress level, we are just telling you what could be the worst-case scenario. If you are wondering what kind of diseases are we talking about, then here is a small list about some of those:
- Syphilis
- Brucellosis
- Hepatitis B (HBV)
- Hepatitis C (HCV)
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
After having a look at this list, we know you must be thinking that these are pretty dangerous. Because the main problem is that some of them are curable while some of them are not for example HIV. This is one of the diseases that cannot be treated at all and the person would have to live with this. It can be a nightmare. After all, who would want to get a disease that has no treatment?
How are these transmitted?
Unlike many other diseases, these diseases are not airborne. They need a medium to transfer and there are a couple of ways through which they can be transferred from an infected person to a healthy person and let us tell you some of those.
Sexual intercourse: This is one of the most common ways through which the Bloodborne pathogens can be transferred. Sexual intercourse is a very intimate practice and that's why there is the highest risk of catching these problems. In fact, HIV is transferred the most through sexual intercourse. There is one ultimate solution to the problem of transferring these Bloodborne pathogens and that is using protection. There are a lot of things that you could use and the most basic one is the condom. Make sure to use protection if you want to minimize the chance of the spread of these diseases.
Transfer of body fluid: There are a lot of instances in which the body liquids can exchange and if the donor is infected and the other person is healthy, then the healthy one will end up catching the disease. If you are wondering how this can happen, then let us take an example of a medical purpose where you would have to get blood in your body and the donor has HIV. Since the infected blood will be going inside your body and mixing with the rest of the blood, this will create a major problem as you will also be infected after the transfer.
Contaminated area: There are a lot of areas or places where the probability of catching these diseases is the highest and those are the areas that are contaminated the most. These can be the areas where a lot of people have infection visits and yes, the hospital is one of them. There are a lot of people who think that a hospital is a safe place. Indeed it is, but not for everyone. There are some people who are prominently in the danger zone. Let us give an example, there are some employees in the hospital that have to deal with the disposal of medical waste. Those are some of the people who are not at all safe and have the highest probability of catching the disease.
These are some of the ways through which Bloodborne pathogens can be transferred and it is better to know about these points if you don't want to take any chance.
For some of us, this might not be a thing to be concerned about as we are staying miles away from this. But for some of us, this is something that should be in knowledge. It is really important for people who are working in the medical sector as this is one of those fields where a person would have the maximum chances of getting infected. In fact, in some places of this world, if you want to work in the medical sector, then you would have to complete the Bloodborne pathogen training. Are you asking what that is? Let us tell you!
What is Bloodborne pathogen training?
This is the training in which the person is taught everything that helps them to stay miles away from Bloodborne pathogens. There are a lot of ways through which you can stop the transfer of the diseases and you should know about them. Good Bloodborne pathogen training will help you know about them and you would be able to stay safe even in the hospital which is the reason it is so important. If you don't want to get infected by this, then you would have to get good training. Once you will do a Bloodborne Pathogens Certification course, you will be qualified for the positions that ask for these certifications. Thankfully, this course is not that expensive and you can get the certification at affordable rates. In fact, there are some free Bloodborne Pathogens Training courses on the internet that you can go for. These courses will help you get the best knowledge about how to keep yourself safe and this is something extremely important. This is a training that you should never avoid if you want to get a negative on the Bloodborne pathogens test.
This is what you should know about Bloodborne pathogens. There are a lot of other things as well and if you want to figure them out, then you can go online and search for them.

The .Tn UNIX Ns -domain family supports the .Dv SOCK_STREAM and .Dv SOCK_DGRAM socket types and uses filesystem pathnames for addressing. .Sh ADDRESSING .Tn UNIX Ns -domain addresses are variable-length filesystem pathnames of at most 104 characters. The include file .Aq Pa sys/un.h defines this address: .Bd -literal -offset indent struct sockaddr_un { u_char sun_len; u_char sun_family; char sun_path[104]; }; .Ed .Pp Binding a name to a .Tn UNIX Ns -domain socket with .Xr bind 2 causes a socket file to be created in the filesystem. This file is .Em not removed when the socket is closed\(em\c .Xr unlink 2 must be used to remove the file. .Pp The .Tn UNIX Ns -domain protocol family does not support broadcast addressing or any form of .Dq wildcard matching on incoming messages. All addresses are absolute- or relative-pathnames of other .Tn UNIX Ns -domain sockets. Normal filesystem access-control mechanisms are also applied when referencing pathnames; e.g., the destination of a .Xr connect 2 or .Xr sendto 2 must be writable. .Sh PROTOCOLS The .Tn UNIX Ns -domain protocol family is comprised of simple transport protocols that support the .Dv SOCK_STREAM and .Dv SOCK_DGRAM abstractions. .Dv SOCK_STREAM sockets also support the communication of .Ux file descriptors through the use of the .Ar msg_control field in the .Ar msg argument to .Xr sendmsg 2 and .Xr recvmsg 2 . .Pp Any valid descriptor may be sent in a message. The file descriptor(s) to be passed are described using a .Ar struct cmsghdr that is defined in the include file .Aq Pa sys/socket.h . The type of the message is .Dv SCM_RIGHTS , and the data portion of the messages is an array of integers representing the file descriptors to be passed. The number of descriptors being passed is defined by the length field of the message; the length field is the sum of the size of the header plus the size of the array of file descriptors. .Pp The received descriptor is a .Em duplicate of the sender's descriptor, as if it were created with a call to .Xr dup 2 . Per-process descriptor flags, set with .Xr fcntl 2 , are .Em not passed to a receiver. Descriptors that are awaiting delivery, or that are purposely not received, are automatically closed by the system when the destination socket is closed. .Pp The effective credentials (i.e., the user ID and group list) the of a peer on a .Dv SOCK_STREAM socket may be obtained using the .Dv LOCAL_PEERCRED socket option. This may be used by a server to obtain and verify the credentials of its client, and vice versa by the client to verify the credentials of the server. These will arrive in the form of a filled in .Ar struct xucred (defined in .Pa sys/ucred.h ) . The credentials presented to the server (the .Xr listen 2 caller) are those of the client when it called .Xr connect 2 ; the credentials presented to the client (the .Xr connect 2 caller) are those of the server when it called .Xr listen 2 . This mechanism is reliable; there is no way for either party to influence the credentials presented to its peer except by calling the appropriate system call (e.g., .Xr connect 2 or .Xr listen 2 ) under different effective credentials. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr socket 2 , .Xr intro 4 .Rs .%T "An Introductory 4.3 BSD Interprocess Communication Tutorial" .%B PS1 .%N 7 .Re .Rs .%T "An Advanced 4.3 BSD Interprocess Communication Tutorial" .%B PS1 .%N 8 .Re

Vans California Mid Skool Hiker Pack | October 2010
The Vans aesthetic fits wonderfully with many seasons, and this Mid Skool Hiker Pack is timely as the end of summer draws closer. With metal hardware like a true hiking boot, the outsole gleams in white in all three models. The uppers in black, brown, and khaki all contrast with colors that appear on the band on the outsole, the heel, and on the tongue. The brown and turquoise model is a striking combination of muted earth tones and a little bit of contemporary pop. These release next month, just in time to traverse the foliage that will be strewn about the ground. via FreshnGood
