The Nightmare of Binary Compatibility
Last week, I wrote that compatibility between C++ and C is a major reason that C programmers adopted C++, and also a major source of difficulty in C++ implementations. This duality is particularly evident when we think about binary compatibility.
From the early days of the C++ standards committee, people would ask me, "Is C++ required to be binary compatible with C?" Most of the time, after I would answer no, the questioner would become perplexed or angry. Wasn't C compatibility a major reason that C++ was designed the way it was? If so, why not write that desire into the standard?
My usual answer was to invite the questioner to consider:
- A C++ implementation on a computer with no C implementation available.
- A C++ implementation on a computer with two or more C implementations that are not binary compatible with each other.
In both cases, it is impossible to make C++ "compatible with C." The best possible scenario is for a C++ implementer to say that a C++ implementation is binary compatible with a particular C implementation.
Even such a mild statement can be difficult to make, because it requires the C++ implementer to follow the lead of the C implementer. Suppose a C implementation changes in a way that introduces a C++ incompatibility. Does that change require the C++ implementer to follow suit immediately? What if the C implementer does not even tell the C++ implementer about the change? How does the C++ implementer find out about the change? Even at such a high level, it is clear that defining the precise meaning of compatibility is not always easy.
In addition to the definition problem, there are implementation problems — even for parts of the language that may seem obvious. For example, for binary compatibility to be useful, it must include the notion of calling a C function from a C++ function and vice versa. Implementing this notion seems to require using a single linker for both C and C++ programs. This is a reasonable requirement, at least on the surface, and usually leads to the requirement to use the linker that was already in place for C programs.
Now consider a C++ program that includes an overloaded function — i.e., two different functions with the same name. How can a linker, intended for C programs, which presumably identifies functions by their names, cope with the notion of two different functions with the same name? Most likely, it can't. Instead, the C++ compiler must translate these two functions into two differently named C functions.
The obvious way to do this translation is by what has come to be called name mangling: Enlarge each function's name to encode information about the types of its parameters. Not only does this strategy cater to overloading, but it also allows stricter type checking across translation-unit boundaries. What it does not allow, of course, is C compatibility.
Suppose, for example, that we have a C function:
int foo(int n) { return n + 1; }
and we wish to call it from a C++ function:
extern int foo(int n); // This is our C function extern double foo(double d) { return d + 1.0; } int main() { foo(42); /* … */ }
Here, the C++ compiler has no problem inferring, at least in principle, that
foo might be a C function, and therefore that it must mangle
foo(double) but not
foo(int). However, we can make the compiler's job impossible by making one small change to the program:
extern int foo(int); // Is this our C function? extern double foo(double); // Or is this? int main() { foo(42); /* … */ }
Our C++ program now has two functions, both named
foo, defined in other translation units. At most one of those can be a C function, because there cannot be two C functions named
foo. If one of them is a C function, which is it?
I see no way in which a C++ compiler can possibly answer this question automatically. You might think it could choose whichever version of
foo is defined first, and indeed that strategy seems almost mandatory. Suppose, for example, that we rewrite our program yet again:
extern int foo(int); // Is this our C function? int main() { foo(42); /* … */ } extern double foo(double); // Or is this?
Nothing stops us from declaring a new version of
foo after we have declared and used another version. However, at the point at which the compiler sees the definition of
main, it does not yet know that
foo is going to be overloaded. Therefore, if the compiler is to decide automatically, it must decide that
foo(int) is compatible with the (perhaps not yet compiled) C version of
foo. Therefore, choosing the first version of an overloaded function to be the one that is compatible with C seems necessary if the compiler is not to have to examine every function in an entire translation unit before it can compile any of them.
However, this strategy goes horribly wrong in the face of the following translation unit:
extern double foo(double); // These two versions of foo are declared in the extern double foo(int); // opposite order from the other translation unit // anything
Which version of
foo is compatible with C here? If it is
foo(double), then the program is broken:
foo(int) and
foo(double) cannot both be compatible with C because there can be only one C function named
foo. Yet we now have the ugly implication that when we declare overloaded functions, the order in which they are declared makes a difference, to the extent that all of the translation units that use overloaded functions must declare all of those versions of each such function in the same order.
Because of these complexities, early C++ compilers adopted a manual strategy: In order to overload a function, every translation unit had to say explicitly that that function name was overloaded. If there was a declaration such as
overload foo;
then every use of
foo in that translation unit was assumed to be overloaded, hence not compatible with C. Otherwise, the function could not be overloaded at all. However, this strategy still had a disadvantage: To overload a function that was not previously overloaded required adding an overload declaration — not only in the translation unit that defined the overloaded function, but in every translation unit in the entire program that used that function. In effect, overloading a function required recompiling every translation unit that declared that function, even if it did not care about the overloading.
Eventually, C++ compilers adopted a different strategy for C compatibility in the face of overloading. We shall start exploring that strategy next week.

Elizabeth and the late Thomas Eames are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter Emma to William Edward Stoker, son of Thomas Stoker and the late Ann Nightingale Stoker. William and Emma were married in St. Johns Church of Wembley, Middlesex, England 29 July 1849.
I have not seen the records, but apparently William Edward Stoker was born 9 January 1827 in Crateford, Staffordshire, England. I am unsure where Crateford exactly is since the online map services do not list it as a town. I know it is near Brewood, Staffordshire, England and can find the Crateford Road outside of town to the northwest, but I am not sure much more is available without actually visiting the area. He was baptized/christened 4 February 1827 in Brewood. His father, Thomas Stoker, worked as a coachman and remained so until he became too old to work.
Emma Eames was baptized/christened 21 February 1830 in St. Mary's Church of Harrow on the Hill, Middlesex, England. She is the third of at least 5 children we know of. The only other sibling we know much about is her brother Thomas. Her father, Thomas Eames, was listed as a wheelwright at the time Emma was born. By the time Emma married to William her father is listed as a servant.
William and Emma would have five children together (although some have added two more children, but with no documentation). William worked as a saddler, leather-worker, and harness maker throughout his life. I do not know why the family moved around so much, probably for work, but they do not seem to have been too poor. Staffordshire, Shropshire, Middlesex, and Berkshire were all homes of the Stoker family.
William Thomas Stoker born 4 June 1850 in Alperton Hollow, Middlesex, England. He died 21 October 1908 in Plain City, Weber, Utah. He would end up marrying three times to Fanny Amelia Tucker, Ellen Hemmings, and Callie Oliver.
Alice Stoker born 20 September 1851 back in Brewood. She died 11 September 1869 in Ogden, Weber, Utah. I have been unable to tell if she actually married or was just engaged to James England when she died.
Jeanette Stoker born 3 February 1856 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. She died 5 February 1941 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. She married Charles David Rogers in 1875. I posted a picture and quick biography at this link: Jeanette Rogers.
Alfred Stoker born 21 September 1859 in Hendon, Middlesex, England. He died 3 November 1927 in Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho. He married Elizabeth Branson in 1881.
Mary Ann Stoker born 24 February 1863 in Reading, Berkshire, England. She died 6 May 1935 in Plain City. She married Milo Riley Sharp in 1879. I have written previously about this family at this link: Sharp-Stoker Wedding.
Emma contracted tuberculosis (listed as phthisis on the death certificate) and passed away 28 April 1863 at 18 Albert Street within St. Mary's Parish after a year struggle with the disease.
Emma joined the LDS church on 7 August 1856. William Thomas joined 5 December 1860. William Edward and Alice joined the LDS church 27 May 1863.
The family wasted no time in gathering to Zion. The Stoker family departed from London on a ship called "Amazon" 4 June 1863. George Q Cannon dedicated the ship which was entirely of Saints (880+) headed for Zion. It was this same ship that Charles Dickens wrote that the Mormons were not taking misfits and scoundrels, but the "pick and flower" of England. Even George Sutherland, future U.S. Supreme Court Justice was on this ship. Here is a link to the story by Charles Dickens: The Uncommercial Traveller. The LDS church also tells of the story that day at this link: Amazon Departure. The ship sailed to Liverpool before finally heading out for America. Elijah Larkin, who would help found Larkin Mortuary, noted that on the 16th and 20th of June, Thomas Stoker was administered to due to a sickness since leaving Liverpool.
The "Amazon" landed at Castle Gardens, New York, New York on 18 July 1863. The Saints took rail to Albany, Albany, New York and then to Florence, Douglas, Nebraska through Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. From there they hoofed it on to Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah Territory arriving 3 and 4 October 1863 (depending on which of the two companies), just in time for General Conference. Several of the company wrote of Brigham Young coming out to greet them and giving them advice.
William moved almost immediately to Ogden, Weber, Utah and set up shop working with leather. William wasted no time in remarrying to Eliza Sinfield in Ogden 18 May 1864. While Mary Ann is listed as a child for William and Eliza on the 1870 Census, she was actually living with the Musgrave family and Jeanette with the Garner family. Additionally, the other children from this first marriage were also being raised by other families. I just cannot tell for sure since the families sometimes listed these children as their own with their own last name. Family lore indicates that William and Eliza could not afford to raise these older children and farmed them out to families that could afford to take care of them. Other evidence points that they were not all that poor, but it is not likely we will ever really know.
Eliza Sinfield was born 24 January 1842 in Eversholt, Bedfordshire, England. She and William married 18 May 1864 in Ogden. They lived there the rest of their days. I cannot tell for sure where they lived. The 1880 Census puts them on 6th Street, but then this address is near Franklin Street, which is now located 20 blocks or more away. The next page of the census has the Academy of the Sacred Heart which is also near 25th street in Ogden. Therefore, another 6th street once existed in Ogden, or the census taker jumped all over town, which is unlikely. The 1870 Census does not give street addresses, so we have no leads there. At any rate, William and Eliza had six children.
Emma Stoker born 24 March 1865 in Ogden and died 10 October 1878.
Agnes Stoker born 1 October 1866 in Ogden. She married George Shields in 1885. She died 6 September 1921 in Ogden.
Henrietta Stoker born 10 October 1868 in Ogden. She married Simon Heber Weston in 1885. She died 10 June 1942.
Eli Benjamin Stoker born 9 July 1870 in Ogden. He married Sarah Jane Thomas in 1899. He died 17 May 1952 in Silverton, Shoshone, Idaho.
Albert Stoker born 12 May 1873 in Ogden. I do not know of a marriage for him. He died 8 February 1949 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah.
Victoria Stoker born 28 May 1878 in Ogden. I do not have a marriage for her either. She died 20 November 1888.
William and Eliza continued to live in Ogden until he passed away 12 April 1899 in Ogden. He was buried in the Ogden City Cemetery, along with most of his already deceased family. Later family members would also be buried near him. Eliza died 3 April 1912. Here is the only other picture we have of William Edward Stoker as a much older man. You can see the tuft of hair in the middle that has not changed. The increased bag lines under the eyes and the same man greatly aged. If you look, you can see some of the resemblance in his sons.

- Lovely looking fire, the Led flame effects are cosy and would brighten up any room
This is a lovely looking looking fire, we inset it and the flame effect options are cosy.
The heat is ok, not as warm as our gas fire, but adequate for the lounge which is 5x4 metres.
We have noticed the fire is slightly bevelled at the top and doesn't sit flat against the wall at the top, but it's not too noticable.
The service from the company was excellent, we had a couple of questions before delivery and they emailed us promptly and also emailed a copy of the installation manual which was helpful.
I'd definitely purchase again from this company.

1By the rivers of Babylon
there we sat weeping
when we remembered Zion.a
2On the poplars in its midst
we hung up our harps.b
3For there our captors asked us
for the words of a song;
Our tormentors, for joy:
"Sing for us a song of Zion!"
4But how could we sing a song of the LORD
in a foreign land?
5If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget.c
6May my tongue stick to my palate
if I do not remember you,
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
beyond all my delights.
7Remember, LORD, against Edom
that day at Jerusalem.
They said: "Level it, level it
down to its foundations!"d
8Desolate Daughter Babylon, you shall be destroyed,
blessed the one who pays you back
what you have done us!e
9*Blessed the one who seizes your children
and smashes them against the rock.f
* [Psalm 137] A singer refuses to sing the people's sacred songs in an alien land despite demands from Babylonian captors (Ps 137:1–4). The singer swears an oath by what is most dear to a musician—hands and tongue—to exalt Jerusalem always (Ps 137:5–6). The Psalm ends with a prayer that the old enemies of Jerusalem, Edom and Babylon, be destroyed (Ps 137:7–9).

But, if you want to reshape your body, you are going to have to work out a little smarter. Let's face it: sometimes we all need to zone out on a stationary bike with headphones and a magazine. But, some experts say the most effective workouts engage the mind, as well as the body. Pilates (pronounced puh-LAH-teez) is a classic mind-body workout created in the 1920's by physical trainer Joseph Pilates. This workout may be the ideal antidote to a tired fitness routine. This method of body conditioning involves stretching and strengthening exercises done on mats and specially designed exercise equipment.Mind-body ChallengeEven for beginners in great shape, the first Pilates mat class can be a humbling experience. Clare recalls her first class, "I had been teaching fitness classes for 15 years, training teachers, and making videos, and I could not believe how little command I had over my body."Although I walk and strength train regularly, I found myself struggling in Clare's morning mat class. Cues like "draw abdominals in and up," "press back into mat," and "lengthen the neck" seem to make sense on their own, but in concert, they were more than my body could focus on all at once. The moves are not complicated—Clare's demonstrations were simple and graceful—but they require an attention to our bodies that is unfamiliar to most of us. By working the body's core, including lower back, abdominal and gluteal muscles, the mat exercises challenge areas often neglected by traditional fitness routines.The machine exercises are even more unfamiliar to many newcomers. Pilates machines can be found at most fully-equipped studios. Machines assist with resistance and support. Proper alignment is critical, so machine routines are generally taught one-on-one. From my first exercise on a machine, I could feel how I had been neglecting a whole dimension of fitness by focusing only on aerobic exercise and weights.Such renewed body awareness is a vital part of Pilates. For many trainers and students, the lessons are simple: I can change my body with these exercises. And a great workout does not have to hurt.All Gain, No PainWithout question, Pilates is a challenging workout, but beginners need not fear injury or excessive stress. The moves are low-impact, and repetitions are few. Over time, they even help correct imbalances created by poor posture and alignment. For this reason, many people actually turn to Pilates for relief from muscular pain.A review of 3 studies found that Pilates improved function and decreased pain in people with chronic low back pain. The studies did not however, determine which exercises were the most effective.Barbara discovered Pilates after teaching aerobics classes for a decade. "I was tired of the gym grind," she says. "I wanted to try something new and build strength." She began working with a Pilates trainer twice a week. "I felt taller and leaner from just a few sessions. In 3 months, I totally changed my body." Without altering her healthy diet, she had lost inches, dropped several sizes, and stopped experiencing hip pain that had troubled her in the past.After undergoing knee surgery from "doing weights wrong for too long," Raoul started working with Barbara. A few months of twice-weekly sessions gave him relief from chronic back pain and helped strengthen his abdominal muscles. "Crunches can only do so much," says Raoul. "But every exercise in Pilates works your center. I can feel the different compartments of my abdominals now."How does body awareness translate into a fitter, more graceful form? "Most people cannot separate their muscle groups unless they are properly trained," explains Barbara. "They use their hip flexors for abdominal work, or their shoulders to move their arms. But Pilates teaches you to separate movement. That is why dancers look so poised."Athletic PerformanceFrom ballet to golf, the skills gained through Pilates make other activities easier. "In general, Pilates is more applicable to sports than conventional exercise," says Joan. "Banging out miles on an aerobic machine does not train the body to perform any better."Specifically, Pilates-based exercises improve athletic performance in several ways, according to Joan.In activities from skiing to cycling, people fatigue not because they come to the limits of their aerobic capacity, but because their muscles cannot keep pace. By strengthening the body from the core and building out from there, Pilates improves muscular endurance so people can enjoy activities fully and for longer. One study found that 12 weeks of Pilates increased abdominal endurance, hamstring flexibility, and upper-body muscular endurance. The exercises require no expensive equipment, skills, and are beneficial for any age group.As you move through the exercises, you focus on certain aspects of movement. Before long, it will make you very aware of how you move in your day-to-day activities. For example, swinging for a tennis ball is not just a physical movement, but rather a transfer from a focused mind to the body. As you cannot play tennis without mind/body awareness, you cannot do Pilates while tuning out. Quite simply, Pilates trains you to know where you are in space. Dancers understand this (where is my weight? how is my body placed?) as do professional golfers. The equestrian community has turned to Pilates for its emphasis on centering. These are not connections you are going to make on a treadmill or in spinning class. Athletes, professional and recreational, can benefit from a better understanding of body placement. In many cases, training causes imbalance. Single arm rotation in tennis, for example, or pushing harder on the dominant leg in cycling, can leave some muscles more developed than others. A Pilates trainer can identify these imbalances and help correct them.Pilates will also give you better flexibility. This happens as your muscles and joints stretch. This also improves range of motion.As dancers and boxers cross train with Pilates or ballet, other exercisers can benefit from a varied routine. "I am lucky to play tennis once a week, but I progress, while others at the club who play daily stay at the same level," says Joan. Why? By changing your workout, you learn more about your body, and that information can help you improve.From Movie Stars to MainstreamPopular with dancers for decades, Pilates also won devotion from celebrities whose careers depend on having a sculpted body. Athletes are also taking notice as more discover that the technique improves performance and helps keep injuries at bay.If you are interested in trying Pilates, you can do an online search for classes in your area. The cost for group mat classes really varies depending on the fitness center. Private machine sessions are also an option if you would like one-on-one help. If you would prefer to exercise at home, there are also Pilates DVDs for beginners that guide you through mat exercises.RESOURCES:American Council on Exercisehttp://www.acefitness.orgThe President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sportshttp://www.fitness.govCANADIAN RESOURCES:Canadian Academy of Sports Medicinehttp://www.casm-acms.orgHealthy Albertahttp://www.healthyalberta.comReferences:Benefits of pilates exercises.

Finally, the wait is over! Fava beans are in season. They appeared for the first time last Sunday, and I couldn't be happier. I know how hard the wait has been on you too, but you can rest easy now. Well don't rest too easily. Fava beans have a depressingly short season--usually just 4-5 weeks in April-May.
Fava (FAH vah) beans, like artichokes, asparagus, and English peas are a hallmark of spring time produce. These meaty, chewy legumes are exceptionally flavorful; they're similar in taste to edamame and have the firm texture of lima/butter beans. In general, the larger the pod, the better the bean. So when you see them, buy them, even if they're $3.00-4.00/pound. You won't be disappointed.
And don't worry about what to call them. According to Wiki and Cook's Thesaurus, you're correct if you say Vicia faba, broad bean, butter bean, faba bean, English bean, field bean, horse bean, tic bean, or Winsdor bean. I'm not making this up. I think someone actually wrote a dissertation entitled "The Many Appellations of the Bean, Fava."
So call 'em whatever you want, just don't miss them. And follow these instructions for shelling. They take a little effort because you have to shell them twice, but trust me, they're worth it.
- Snap the top off of the pod. Sometimes the pod will split easily down the seam, but sometimes you have to squeeze and twist the pod with your fingers till it pops and the beans are exposed.
- Remove the beans and discard the shells.
- Now you need to remove the waxy casing that encloses the fava bean. The easiest way is to boil the beans for 2 minutes, then drain them, and plunge in a bowl of ice water. Now for the fun part-- squeeze the casing gently between your thumb and forefinger and watch the fava bean pop out! Discard the waxy shell.
Now it's time to eat them, and you can eat a lot of them. A 1/2 cup of boiled fava beans is just over 90 calories and contains nearly 7 grams of protein and 5 grams of dietary fiber. They're high in calcium, iron, and folate. So enjoy them in salads, soups, pastas, and risottos. Or mash 'em up in spreads and dips.
I'm sending this recipe to Jai and Bee of Jugalbandi, the hosts of this week's Weekend Herb Blogging created by Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen.
Fava Bean and Dill Crostini
Yields 3/4-1 cup
Print recipe only here.
3/4 cup shelled fava beans (about 1-1 1/4 pounds fresh fava beans in the shell)
1/2 cup red potato, diced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
7-8 cranks black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh minced dill
2 tablespoons grated Reggiano-Parmigiano cheese
4 tablespoons water, or as needed
salt, to taste
1 baguette
Boil the fava beans in a small pot for 2-3 minutes; drain, and plunge into a bowl of ice water.
Meanwhile in a small pot, boil potatoes for 10 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let cool. Squeeze the casing gently between your thumb and forefinger and watch the fava bean pop out! Discard the waxy shells.
Place fava beans, potatoes, and remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Use less water for a chunkier spread and more water for a smoother spread.
Toast bread slices. Spread bean mixture on toasts. Sprinkle with some sea salt, drizzle with some extra virgin oil oil, and top each with a sprig of fresh dill.
Note: If you can't find fava beans, then I suggest substituting lima/butter beans or edamame. I have also made this spread with fresh shelled English peas and fresh shelled sugar snap peas which are equally delicious.

Say Good Morning to Glazed Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Cream Scones (Recipe)
Nothing says "Good Morning!" on a dreary winter day quite as cheerfully as freshly baked, still warm, Glazed Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Cream Scones.
Meyer lemons, prized for their sweet-tart flavor and deep yellow, thin rinds, add brightness to otherwise ho-hum cream scones. And just because it's winter time, doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy blueberries. Unthawed frozen blueberries (or raspberries) work beautifully in baked goods, like these scones. Be careful though -- once you take a bite, you may get fooled into thinking summer is just around the corner.
Glazed Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Cream Scones
Makes 8 large or 10-12 small scones
Print recipe only here.
Note: If you can't find Meyer lemons, then substitute regular lemons.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest
2 teaspoons Meyer lemon juice
2/3 cup unthawed frozen blueberries
Egg Wash:
1 egg, lightly beaten OR 1 egg mixed with 1 teaspoon milk, lightly beaten
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest (1/2 teaspoon if you'd like a less pronounced lemon flavor)
2 teaspoons Meyer lemon juice
a few drops of milk as needed
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place oven racks in top and bottom thirds of the oven. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir.
3. Cut the butter into small pieces, and add to the flour mixture. Mix with a pastry blender or fork, until a coarse meal forms with tiny pea-sized butter pieces.
4. Whisk eggs and heavy cream in a small bowl. Stir in zest and juice. Add to the flour and butter mixture. Begin to gently mix with a spatula. Add the blueberries. Mix until just combined. (It's OK if a few berries bleed.) Do not over mix, or the dough will become leaden.
5. Using a floured surface, shape the dough into 1 large or 2 small disks, about 1/2-inch thick. With a wet knife (to make slicing easier) cut the dough into triangular shaped scones. Place scones on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Brush scones with egg wash.
7. Bake scones for 15 minutes, rotating pans mid-way through, or until puffed and golden; transfer to a rack to cool. Cool completely before glazing.
8. For the glaze: Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. The glaze should cling to the back of a spoon. For easy clean up, place a sheet of parchment paper underneath the wire rack before glazing the scones. Drizzle glaze over scones. Cool completely until the glaze hardens.

Meyer lemons aren't all that easy to come by here in Rhode Island, or when you can find them, they're expensive. However, on my last trip to Costco I found a box of 12 Meyer lemons at an affordable price. My husband made a few batches of lemon curd, and we stored leftover lemons in the fridge for a few days before making a salmon glaze with them. Next batch goes to these scones -- they look delicious.

I made these scones over the weekend, baked half of the batch right away and put the other pre-cut, egg washed scone dough in the freezer. I just baked the frozen scones this morning with the same remarkable results - these are phenomenal scones! Freezing the raw dough makes it easy to have freshly baked scones with little effort anytime! Bake @ 375 for 25-30 minutes. Thanks for another dynamite recipe!

You may find that you want to modify the prompt. This can help you create visibility for special features or just modify it to something more useful. You can view the default settings for the prompt by using this command:
echo $PS1
As stated above it will show user, hostname, location and definition whether it is a normal user or root.
Create a single character
The space behind the $ is enforced by placing the quotes so it does not run into your text. The $ is typically used to show that it is a normal user not the root user indicated by the "#".
Change options for the prompt
\d : the date Weekday Month Date format
\h : the hostname up to the first '.'
\A : the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format
\u : the username of the current user
\w : the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
\$ : if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
Create a colored prompt
You may want to create a color prompt that you can use for visibility. In this example the hostname has been dropped to make a shorter prompt and the prompt is turned red but the commands that you enter will be black. The export command will change these features.
mike@ub:~$ export PS1='\e[0;31m[\u:\w]\$ \e[m '
This will color the prompt but not any commands that you enter.
List of Color codes
Color Code
Black 0;30

Red 0;31

Brown 0;33
Replace digit 0 with 1 for a lighter color.
Make Changes permanent
All of the changes you make will be lost when you close the terminal or log out. Here are directions to make them permanent.
# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
The .bashrc file in each user's home directory allows you to change the default for the prompt to a color prompt by uncommenting the line:
Unfortunately a typo in the line must also be corrected so that it should read:
Ubuntu or CentOS
Place your custom prompt in the user .bashrc file with this command:
export PS1='\e[0;31m[\u:\w]\$ \e[m '

5 Manly Cocktails Women Should Be Drinking
A few months ago I was at a bar where the hip, mustachioed bartenders were touting their selection of superlative old-school cocktails. So I ordered a Manhattan. My husband turned to me and said, "You know a Manhattan is a guy's drink, right?"
"No, man, that's fine," the bartender interrupted. "You've got a woman who knows what she wants."
Yup, I do. Sure, I like a refreshing mint mojito and a champagne sparkler just like the next gal, but there are times when I crave something stronger, more muscular, like scotch or bourbon.
Since that night I've ordered many a manly drink. I've also asked many a manly man what he thinks of women who imbibe traditional men's drinks. Everyone I spoke with was OK with it, and many thought it was sexy. But most were quick to add this caveat: "Just not on the first date. You might scare us off."
They also agreed: Don't go too masculine too quickly. Want to order an Old-Fashioned? Don't. Too Don Draper. A Rusty Nail? Too Bob Villa. A Godfather? Too Michael Corleone.
If your current drink of choice is a fruity Cosmopolitan, then don't switch to a bitter Negroni. You might not recover from the shock. So this New Year's Eve, why not be adventurous and try a bolder manly cocktail such as a classic Manhattan or a Tom Collins?
Here are 5 more traditional men's drinks that women can safely order:
Sidecar: The mixture of cognac and cointreau creates a sexy amber color and leaves a sweet taste on your mouth. You know, just in case he's got nice lips.
Gin Martini: Ask for a martini, and most bartenders will assume you want vodka. So specify gin and whether or not you want it dirty or with a twist.
Whiskey Sour: As far as sour cocktails go, a whiskey sour is eminently drinkable. Plus, a classically prepared whiskey sour should come with a slice of orange or lemon, and a maraschino cherry which lends a flirty touch.
Salty Dog: If you're out for brunch, skip the mimosa and order the more playful Salty Dog, a mouth-puckering combo of vodka and grapefruit juice, spiked with salt.
Sazerac: Sazerac is to New Orleans cocktails what gumbo is to New Orleans cuisine. Made with rye, Peychaud's Bitters, and Angostura bitters, this is a heady, spicy cocktail. Purists insist New Orleans is the only place to find an authentic Sazerac, but you can buy Peychaud's Bitters and Herbsaint online. So drink up.
So what do you think about women ordering classic men's drinks? Do you?
Makes 1
Printable recipe.
The Manhattan was conceived with rye as its essential component, but the consensus is that even if you don't use rye, Manhattans should be made with American whiskey, such as a good bourbon. --Rob Chirico, author of Field Guide to Cocktails.
2 ounces straight rye or bourbon
1 ounce sweet vermouth
Dash of Angostura bitters
Maraschino cherry
1. Stir the bourbon, vermouth, and bitters in a pitcher half filled with ice, or shake them with ice; then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Great post! Not sure if I'm ready for a manhattan but a whiskey sour would be fine. Happy new year!

This is so cool -- I always feel stupid when ordering a drink at a bar. What's that one with vodka and OJ? I'm copying your notes into MY notes on my phone. Glug, glug, I'll call ya from the bar. :-)
PS Happy New Year, friend!
- December 30, 2011 at 7:20 AM
Oooh, this post makes me mad. A "man's drink"? Really? I'm not supposed to order a strong drink that I like because it might scare him off? And 5 drinks that "women can safely order"? No thanks. I'm much safer ordering something strong and bold than something fruity; sweet drinks have a tendency to turn my stomach, whereas the stronger stuff sits just fine. I'll drink what I like, and any man who is scared off by what I'm drinking (I mean, really? Good lord) can sit at the bar alone with his idea of gender roles safely intact.

Great list of boys booze for girls. I'm a fan of the Gimlet, but it's clearly a chick drink!

I love a Manhattan as well as a Negroni. And I don't care if they are men's drinks. Their color alone makes them alluring.
Happy new year!
- December 30, 2011 at 12:12 PM
DIRTY Gin Martinis and Whiskey Sours are two of my favourites! I find the "girly" drinks too sugary most of the time.

lisa-It took me a while, but now I adore Manhattans.
val-Absolutely! New year, new drinks! Happy New Year, my friend!
alanna- It's a screwdriver. Glad to give you some new cocktails to glug! Happy New Year to you too, my dear!
anonymous- By all means, you should order what you like and do whatever makes you happy.
wineharolots- I love a gimlet too!
sam-Though my husband has tried several times to get me to like a Negroni, I just can't abide its bitterness. It tastes medicinal to me. Oh, well, sticking with my Manhattans isn't such a hardship!
anonymous- I usually find them too sugary as well. I really love spicy cocktails too.

A Manhattan was my mother's favorite, even if she allowed herself just one, maybe two on a special occasion. (And as a child I got the cherries.) Guess that's why I love 'em and will have one tonight! Happy new year!

Great post! Since June I've been more open to ordering "man drinks". Sazeracs are my favorite, but outside of New Orleans I'm very particular about where I order one.
- December 31, 2011 at 6:55 AM
I've been drinking vodka collinses since I was 18. And whiskey and diet coke is my current fave. That gets some looks from bartenders sometimes. LOL Thanks for the post. I haven't tried all of the drinks you suggest, but I will.

What the heck is a "man's drink?" Really? Sheesh. Last time I checked if a dude is scared off because I order a gin martini, I wouldn't want a second date with him anyway.

Hi Susan:
I never thought of male vs female cocktails in this day and age. I am a bourbon drinker these days since the weather has turned colder. Old Fashioneds have been my drink of choice and no one has batted an eyelash! You need to come to some cocktail bars in NYC where it's equal opportunity drinking. Happy 2012 to you and Jeff. I hope you will be visiting Tom and me again soon.

Gin martinis, extra dry, with 3 olives please!
I don't like bitter, but have decided that G&Ts are drinkable with lots of lime wedges squeezed in, so there's hope for me yet.
Those are some surprisingly girly drinks. I think of scotch when I think manly. But I used to drink scotch too... Hmmm... maybe we women have reached the age of enlightenment when it comes to our drink of choice?
- January 3, 2012 at 5:40 AM
My mother-in-law makes a killer Manhattan using brandy, sweet vermouth and a tablespoon of cherry juice to make it sweeter -- but it's still a stiff "manly" drink!
I also love me a Bombay Sapphire Gin Martini - Dirty with LOTS of olives.

Well. I drink bourbon. On the rocks. No additional water.
Or a Black Russian. Pretty much it. But I am a 53 year old post-menopausal loudmouthed southerner, so I basically drink, wear and eat what pleases me (even if it hare-lips half the county as the saying goes)

laura-You and I'll get along just fine.
tw-Next NY trip I vote for Manhattans at Tom's place. Everybody with me?
kristen-So glad you liked them!
rosemary-Cheers, my friend. Looking forward to sharing a Manhattan with you and Tom next time Jeff and I are in NY.
lollingabout-I understand your hesitation. The Sazerac I had last year in NO was mind-altering.
robin-18? Well, you're waaay ahead of the curve! A whiskey and Diet Coke? How'd you come up with that one?

thanks for this entertaining post. the comments are even more entertaining...esp. the angry ones signing 'anonymous'? afraid to state your name are you?
i order a crown and coke/pepsi. full cal - no diet!
i don't know if it's MANLY or not. but i like it...and it's not pink.
i went to engineering school and learned to drink like a boy. so it was cheap beer most of the time. I can't hold my liquor anymore though, like i did in my college days. :)

This is a great post. One which I have given a lot of thought to in my life. Not the genderizing of cocktails so much as the question of what is the proper place for "classic" cocktails in a "modern" world. I have decided classic cocktails carry baggage, much of it romantic. So when ordering a cocktail you are ordering it's back story too. You are letting that cocktail say something about you that is almost universal in meaning. PS Side Cars ARE girly! GREG

I was a mixed drink woman...spiced rum and coke until 15 years ago when I was introduced to my first Manhattan! Love it. No angustora bitters for me though. Aside from this a nice martini on the rocks with just a breath of dry vermouth!
Take the change....

greg-Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Yes, I hear what you're saying, but I think genderized drinks is still the way the vast majority of people think. I'm hopeful that this renaissance of classic cocktails we're experiencing (thanks, Mad Men) will help us move away from the gender thing and into damn good cocktails.
pastas wife-Yes! I love it!
judy-I have to say that I love Angostura bitters, but the great thing is there are so many different ones available now that it's easy to find one you like.

The gin martini is my go-to but I'm going to have to try the Salty Dog.

I'm sorry, what?! Both my grandmothers drank Manhattans -- stiff ones, at that. I didn't even know cocktails had a gender. Jeez.

I'm definitely a whiskey lover, which has surprised many of my friends. The odd part is that I will only drink it neat or on the rocks, hardly ever in a mixed drink.
I still like trying those fruity-girly drinks, but I always come back to whiskey. And vodka. And porters and stouts and...

Talking to Your Doctor About Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
You have a unique medical history. Therefore, it is essential to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
General Tips for Gathering Information
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your doctor:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and think of questions to ask.
- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask your questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
Specific Questions to Ask Your Doctor
About GAD
- Tell your doctor about your constant worry and tension, or any other signs of GAD, such as aches and pains for no reason, or trouble sleeping.
- Tell your doctor if these problems keep you from doing everyday things and living your life.
- Ask for a checkup to check for other illnesses.
- Ask your doctor if they have helped other people with GAD. Special training helps doctors treat people with GAD. If your doctor doesn't have special training, ask for the name of a doctor or counselor who does.
About Treatment Options
- What treatment options are available for GAD?
If your doctor prescribes medicine, ask:
- How long will it take to work?
- What benefits can I expect?
- What side effects should I watch for?
- Can you recommend a counselor who treats people with GAD?
If you decide to try counseling, interview counselors and find one with whom you feel comfortable discussing your problems. You should ask the counselor about:
- Their training and experience in treating anxiety disorders
- Their basic approach to treatment
- The length of treatment
- The length and frequency of treatment sessions
- What health insurance is accepted
- Fee schedules and sliding scale fees to accompany various financial circumstances
About Lifestyle Changes
Ask your doctor or counselor about lifestyle changes that could help you reduce your anxiety and stress symptoms. Examples may include:
- Diet
- Caffeine and alcohol use
- Getting adequate sleep
- Relaxation and stress management techniques
- Exercise
About Your Outlook
- What are my chances of recovering from GAD with treatment? Without treatment?
- Will I have a recurrence of GAD and related conditions? What can I do to prevent these?

Huawei MediaPad M5 8 can be unlocked by an unlock code if it asks for NCK or SIM unlock code after changing the SIM card. Means, if your phone is asking for unlock code, then it can be easily unlocked. This unlocking method is the fastest and risk-free to make your device network-free. Unlocking by code does not involve any hardware or firmware change, means you are not going to lose the warranty of your phone.
To generate the correct SIMlock code of Huawei MediaPad M5 8, we need only 15-digit IMEI. You can find out the correct 15-digit unique IMEI by dialing *06# as a phone number or you can also check in the settings.
Since the factory unlock code directly comes from Huawei server, we don't need any another information except IMEI. The code will be 100% genuine and will work fine.
Once order placed, you will get the following types of codes:
NCK – NCK or Network Code will remove the main network restriction from your Huawei MediaPad M5 8 phone.
SPCK – Service Provider Code or Subset Unlock PIN will remove the network restriction from the subset network (e.g. Tesco in the U.K.).
SIMLock Block Unlock Reset Key – "SIMLock Block Unlock Reset Key" will be used to reset the code counter if you have already tried with so many wrong codes on your Huawei MediaPad M5 8.
Note: In a few cases, you may get only NCK or Unlock Code, if in the database only one set of codes will be available. There will be no refund in such case.
How long we need to wait for a Huawei unlock code?
The approximate delivery time for a Huawei phone unlock code is 1 to 10 days.
The average response time for a Huawei phone unlock code is 2 days (based on last 100 orders).
How to Unlock Huawei MediaPad M5 8 by Code?
You may get up to 4 codes, depending on the network provider.
1. Switch Off the Honor 9 Lite.
2. Insert another operator SIM card.
3. Switch On.
4. When the device asks for the code, enter the first code which is provided by mysimunlock.net.
6. If the first code doesn't work then you can try with the second or the third code.
Now your Huawei MediaPad M5 8 should be network-free and can be used with all the SIM cards worldwide.
If the above-mentioned steps don't work for you, then enter the last code. You should see "confirm unsuccessful" message. Now again enter the previous codes.

Another year is gone and with the December issue of Investment Advisor comes a look at a new platform to help advisors manage alternative investment assets. CAIS launched a global exchange for alternatives that the creators say lets advisors conduct their due diligence, analyze their investments and ultimately make the trades they want.
While it seemed the wave of small broker-dealers closing their doors seemed to never end earlier this year, one firm managed to beat the trend. Leaders at Harbour Investments say it's just common sense.
Finally, it may be puzzling to some, but we talked with American Funds for this month's Overlooked Manager about the importance of selecting the right manager and keeping objectives aligned with clients' needs.
Get three smart guys together in a bar, give them a few drinks to get the "creative" going, and they're bound to hit on an idea. Throw in the phrase "alternative investments," and you quickly realize why their idea has taken off.
CAIS has launched what it calls the first global alternatives exchange, known as CAIS-X, which provides advisors with a platform for conducting due diligence, analysis and trading of alternative investments. They sat down with Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan to explain why the time is right and what's making it so successful.
What makes Madison, Wis.-based broker-dealer Harbour Investments better than its competitors, many of whom have recently shut their doors? "We don't think we're any smarter than anybody else," David Rosenow, vice president of business and product development, told Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan. "It's just maybe we're better listeners at times."
The team at Harbour has different ideas about what makes them great, but one thing seems clear: doing the opposite of what their competitors have done may be just the right strategy.
We understand the confusion readers have expressed over some of the funds we've deemed "overlooked." But while we've always maintained fund families may enjoy a high profile, they might nonetheless contain a hidden gem not yet recognized. We've done it again, featuring a mutual fund behemoth that will surely have some slapping their foreheads, but with a critical issue of increasing importance just over the horizon, we're confident you'll soon understand the method driving the madness.
American Funds (yes, American Funds) has long been known for its media silence, preferring to let stellar performance and extraordinary assets under management speak for themselves. Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan talks with the money makers at American Funds to find out how American Funds is "driving the conversation in the industry." Skepticism aside (after all, is a 747 an experimental aircraft, or a Bentley an affordable mid-size sedan?), we soon considered the benefits of labeling American Funds with the overlooked manager tag—especially when it comes to helping clients with their retirement planning.
