When last we visited Mystic Falls, home of "The Vampire Diaries," Elena (Nina Dobrev) had finally made her choice between the Salvatore brothers, choosing Stefan (Paul Wesley) over Damon (Iam Somerhalder); vampire hunter Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis), who was a vampire himself, is dead; and the event that has been three seasons in coming has finally happened: Elena has joined the undead.
DVR the Season Premiere of "The Vampire Diaries"
"We pick up if not right away, within several hours of where we left off," executive producer Julie Plec tells XfinityTV.com about the Season 4 premiere, airing on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 8/7c. "It is early the next morning, so everything we left hanging is still hanging. There has been no off-camera resolution to any of it, so we will see things play out as we pick up."
How will Elena deal with her new status? Elena was on her way out of Mystic Falls when the car she was riding in went off the bridge and she hit her head, so she was trying to leave the undead behind her. In the past, she has made no secret of the fact that she would rather die than become a vampire. When Season 4 begins, she will have to face the fact that the normal life she so desired is no longer a possibility.
Preview the Opening of the "Vampire Diaries" Season 4 Premiere:

"Elena is a girl who loves her family so deeply, if anybody deserved a human life, it is her and that has just been taken away from her," Plec says. "I think in a weird way she is going to be more pragmatic about it then [Damon and Stefan] are. They are both going to be like, How can we save her from herself? Both of them have very different experiences as vampires and it is not going to put them on the same page. One of the tragedies about Elena becoming a vampire is the brothers were on a beautiful path toward finding their way back to each other. They finally said 'bros before 'hoes' — to paraphrase — and now we are going to see that tested a little bit."
The theme for Season 4: Despite the fact that Elena is now a vampire, she will be returning to high school for her senior year, so the theme for the upcoming season is the journey to graduation.
"It is: Is Mystic Falls going to be my home forever? These people that I have known my whole life, am I going to stay here, or am I going to get out and move on? With that comes a threat that is going to be played against the town in the form of somebody or something threatening that will eventually make an appearance. It is also going to be about protecting the place that is a part of you even as you yourself are ready to move on from it," says Plec.
Repercussions for Stefan: When the car went off the bridge in the Season 3 finale with Matt (Zach Roerig) and Elena in it, Stefan attempted to rescue Elena, but she requested that he save Matt. Now that Elena is a vampire, Stefan thinks he screwed up — and he is going to have to deal with that.
"Stefan didn't screw up," Plec says. "Elena said, 'Help my friend.' He helped her friend. Damon would not have helped her friend. We know that. That is the fundamental difference between the brothers and, I think, that it is a point Elena will make very quickly."

Plec explains the thought process that Elena will have at the beginning of Season 4. "She will think: That is why when I had a choice to make about who I wanted to be with, knowing these things about Stefan vs. Damon, that is how I made the choice. Stefan respects me and my choices. Damon loves me and I know that. Who could avoid giving into that except he wouldn't be the kind of guy that would save my friends?"
Plec goes on to cite this example: "A woman is having a baby and the doctor comes over to the husband and says, 'It is either your wife or the kid. You can only save one of them.' There is no right answer. If you save your wife, she will never forgive you. If you save your kid, you will always hate yourself. So there was no good outcome [for Stefan], yet he blames himself profoundly and he is not happy with himself, so it is going to be up to Elena to lay that out."
New character: A new vampire slayer character will join the cast when Connor (Todd Williams) turns up in Mystic Falls.
"He shows up kickin' ass and takin' names," Plec says. "Where he is different in hunter land than we have dabbled in the past is he doesn't seem to be in it to protect the secret or keep the town from knowing. He is more like shoot first and ask questions later. He is pretty hardcore and he takes a lot of our characters by surprise by how hardcore he is."
Is Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) safe with Elena? Elena's adoptive brother and biological cousin will now be living with a newborn vampire, who may not be able to control her urges. As one of her last living family members, should he take the risk?
"I think that it is a concern, but we do not have any plans to move them out of that house," says Plec. "I feel as if the house represents family, neighborhood, Mystic Falls and the Gilbert family in a way that we are not ready to say goodbye to yet."
Also coming up for Jeremy, who comes from a family of people who have committed themselves to being anti-vampire, is the question of how will he protect Elena's secret and still learn some tricks of the trade from Connor? So for Jeremy in Season 4, his abilities as a medium in the ghost world will be less the focus, and his vampire hunting skills more so.
Season 4 of "The Vampire Diaries" premieres on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 8/7c on The CW.

The Great Enumeration
"If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, "said Abraham Lincoln, "we could better judge what to do, and haw to do it. "For nearly two hundred years, the United States Census has been trying to find out.
December 1979 | Volume 31, Issue 1
In accordance with the constitutional requirement, the First Congress at its second session enacted a law governing the census. It was approved March 1, 1790, and within a year after George Washington became President the first enumeration was made. The work was done by the United States marshals of the several judicial districts with assistants of their choice, under the supervision of the Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson. There were no standardized questionnaires, or "schedules," as they are called in census parlance today, and the assistants, who were paid a pittance, had to provide their own pens and paper. (In fact, no printed schedules were furnished until the census of 1830.)
Though there were only six simple questions to be asked, the task was difficult because of poor transportation, uncertain boundaries, and a scattered population. The people were suspicious, like taxpayers from time immemorial, and consistently underreported. Some had never been counted before, and those good Christians who followed the Bible as a light to their feet feared any counting, and evaded the marshals and their aides when they could. For they remembered a most unpleasant account in the Old Testament of the sin of King David, who incurred the wrath of Heaven when he had his captains number the children of Israel, and so drew down a pestilence upon them. The 1790 census took eighteen months to complete and produced a head count of 3,929,214 Americans. The public, expecting a total above 4,000,000, was disappointed and there was anxiety about the political effect abroad. But President Washington explained the difficulties in detail and gave assurance that "our real numbers will exceed, greatly, the official returns."
The original law mandating the census was continued with minor changes until 1850. Faced with the possibility of war with Great Britain, Congress in 1810 added an inventory of manufacturers to measure the industrial capacity of the country and its ability to fight or compete for new markets. More questions aiming to get at the resources of the nation, both human and material, were placed in the schedules in 1840. The enumeration was still carried out on a part-time basis by the U.S. marshals, and the information collected continued to be, as it always had been, open to the public. But the product was heavily criticized for its errors.
In answer to the complaints, under the 1850 census law Congress provided that raw data from the field must be sent to Washington to be centrally tabulated there. Further, instead of counting only the head of the family—the traditional method—each family member would be included separately, making possible more sophisticated analysis and cross-tabulation. In Studies in American Demography (1940), Walter F. Willcox called this the most important change in census history.
There was nothing especially notable about the eighth decennial census, but the ninth, taken in 1870, suffered from the disruptions of the Civil War, the disorganization of the government in the South, and the adjustment to the new status of blacks under the Fourteenth Amendment (this was the first census in American history that contained no questions about slaves). Spoilsmen controlled the work of taking the census in 1870. The U.S. marshals looked upon the census as an opportunity to distribute the offices to deserving henchmen, each of whom was instructed to "provide himself with a secure portable inkstand, good ink, and a sufficient number of pens. All entries will be carefully dried with the blotting paper which accompanies each portfolio." The entire force of enumerators was taken from the Republican party, including some blacks who could not read or write. The able superintendent of the census, Francis Amasa Walker, had no control over the marshals or the quality of their work and was among the most severe critics of the census which he headed. There were newspaper attacks, too, arguing that the census should be confined to its narrow constitutional function; but Walker insisted: "What the country needs is more information, not less."

Henry I, Duke of Guise
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Henry I, Prince of Joinville, Duke of Guise, Count of Eu (31 December 1550 – 23 December 1588), sometimes called Le Balafré (Scarface), was the eldest son of Francis, Duke of Guise, and Anna d'Este. His maternal grandparents were Ercole II d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, and Renée of France. Through his maternal grandfather, he was a descendant of Lucrezia Borgia and Pope Alexander VI.
In 1576 he founded the Catholic League to prevent the heir, King Henry of Navarre, head of the Huguenot movement, from succeeding to the French throne. A key figure in the French Wars of Religion, he was one of the namesakes of the War of the Three Henrys. A powerful opponent of the Queen Mother, Catherine de' Medici, he was assassinated by the bodyguards of her son, King Henry III.
Catholic League[edit]
He succeeded his father in 1563 as Duke of Guise and Grand Maître de France. He fought the Turks in Hungary in 1565,[1] and on his return, he became one of the leaders of the Catholic faction in the French Wars of Religion. He fought at the Battle of Saint-Denis in 1567, Battle of Jarnac, successfully defended Poitiers during a siege[2] and fought at the Battle of Moncontour. His love affair with Margaret of Valois in 1570 offended her brother, Charles IX of France and the Queen Mother, Catherine de' Medici, but his marriage to Catherine of Cleves restored his fortunes. Considering the Huguenot leader Admiral Coligny the architect of his father's assassination during the siege of Orléans in 1563, he is a suspect in the murder of the Admiral in August 1572. This was quickly followed by the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre which took place on the occasion of Margaret's marriage to the Huguenot, Henry of Navarre.
Henry was wounded at the Battle of Dormans on 10 October 1575, and was thereafter known, like his father, as "Le Balafré". With a charismatic and brilliant public reputation, he rose to heroic stature among the Catholic population of France as an opponent of the Huguenots.
In 1576 he formed the Catholic League to keep the new heir, Henry of Navarre, off the throne. The talent and dash of Guise contrasted favorably with the vacillation and weakness of Henry III. He was said to have claimed a Carolingian descent and cast eyes on the throne. This led to the stage of the Wars of Religion known as the War of the Three Henries (1584–1588).
However, at the death in 1584 of Francis, Duke of Anjou, the king's brother (which left Henry of Navarre, the Protestant champion, as heir-male), Guise concluded the Treaty of Joinville with Philip II of Spain. This compact declared that the Cardinal de Bourbon should succeed Henry III, in preference to Henry of Navarre. Henry III now sided with the Catholic League (1585), which made war with great success on the Protestants. Guise sent his cousin Charles, Duke of Aumale, to lead a rising in Picardy (which could also support the retreat of the Spanish Armada). Alarmed, Henry III ordered Guise to remain in Champagne; he defied the king and on 9 May 1588 Guise entered Paris, bringing to a head his ambiguous challenge to royal authority in the Day of the Barricades and forcing King Henry to flee.
The League now controlled France; the king was forced to accede to its demands and created Guise Lieutenant-General of France. But Henry III refused to be treated as a mere cipher by the League, and decided upon a bold stroke. On 22 December 1588, he spent the night with his current mistress Charlotte de Sauve, the most accomplished and notorious member of Catherine de' Medici's group of female spies known as the "Flying Squadron".[3] The following morning at the Château de Blois, Guise was summoned to attend the king, and was at once assassinated by "the Forty-five", the king's bodyguard, as Henry III looked on.[4] Guise's brother, Louis II, Cardinal of Guise, was likewise assassinated the next day. The deed aroused such outrage among the remaining relatives and allies of Guise that Henry III was forced to take refuge with Henry of Navarre. Henry III was assassinated the following year by Jacques Clément, an agent of the Catholic League.
According to Baltasar Gracian in A Pocket Mirror for Heroes, it was once said of him to Henry III, "Sire, he does good wholeheartedly: those who do not receive his good influence directly receive it by reflection. When deeds fail him, he resorts to words. There is no wedding he does not enliven, no baptism at which he is not godfather, no funeral he does not attend. He is courteous, humane, generous, the honorer of all and the detractor of none. In a word, he is a king by affection, just as Your Majesty is by law."
In literature and the arts[edit]
The Duke of Guise appears as an archetypal Machiavellian schemer in Christopher Marlowe's The Massacre at Paris, which was written about 20 years[5] after the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. The death of the duke is also mentioned, by the ghost of Machiavelli himself, in the opening lines of The Jew of Malta. He appears (as The Guise) in George Chapman's Bussy D'Ambois and its sequel, The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois.
John Dryden and Nathaniel Lee wrote The Duke of Guise (1683),[6] based on events during the reign of Henry III of France.
Equally he appears in the short novel The Princess of Montpensier, by Madame de La Fayette
He is one of the characters in Alexandre Dumas's novel La Reine Margot and its sequels, La Dame de Monsoreau and The Forty-Five Guardsmen.
Stanley Weyman's novel A Gentleman of France includes the Duke of Guise in its tale about the War of the Three Henries.
Stage and film[edit]
The Duke is a leading character in the play The Massacre at Paris, by Christopher Marlowe.
George Onslow's 1837 opera Le duc de Guise deals with the duke's assassination.
L'Assassinat du Duc de Guise, Op. 128, first shown at the Salle Charras in Paris on 16 November 1908, was the first film to include a score written by a well-known classical composer, Camille Saint-Saëns.
The duke also has a role in D. W. Griffith's 1916 film Intolerance, part of which covers the lead-up to the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
The Duke of Guise plays a significant role in the French movie The Princess of Montpensier. He also appears in both the 1954 version and 1994 version of La Reine Margot.

The WOW Motorcycle – Coolest Items in World of Warcraft and How to Get Them Series
From WotLK expansion you can get a new mount in the form of a Motorcycle.
The motorcycle has two versions, one for the Alliance and one for the Horde. The Alliance version is called Mekgineer's Chopper, the Horde version is called Mechano Hog. The two versions have differences in the appearance but other than that are identical. The Hog/Chopper mount can be build by Engineers with level 450. But it can be ride by any character as it's not bending in pick up so it can be sold. This also means that you can have the two of them, if you can afford it.
The pattern for the Hog/Chopper is sold by Roxi Ramrocket (Goblin) in K3. And can be acquire only if you have exalted rep whit the right faction. For the Hog you will need to be exalted with Horde Expedition, and for the Chopper you will need to be exalted with Alliance Vanguard. So an engineer can only make one version (his on faction), but you can ride the other faction motorcycle.
The pattern cost 350 gold. The items needed to complete a motorcycle are:
- Titansteel bars * 12
- Artic fur * 2
- Handful of Cobalt Bolts * 40
The prices of the above items vary from server to server but can go be price for an average of 3000 gold. You will also need three other items (Salvaged Iron Golem Parts, Elementium plated Exhaust Pipe and eight Goblin-machined Pistons). Those are vendor items that will cost you 12,500 gold all together. You can only buy them from the same vendor as the recipe and only if you trained yourself (use the recipe). So why you will want this very expensive mount? Way spend 16,000 gold at least and the time to find an engineer, or bid on the AH ? Even if you can do it yourself, you will still need to go to the vendor, and buy or gather the other items needed… First thing, think how cool it is to ride in one of those, you come in to a city and make all the noise of a real motorcycle as you go, you can be sure all eyes are on you. And what will you do with all your gold if not make others envy you. But that is not all, you get some more bonuses:
- You can fall unlimited heights without taking damage as the motorcycle takes it for you (it can be time saving). See P.S.
- You can have a passenger with you on the sidecart, so this is a ride for two!
- Of course no passenger, no sidecart, so you get the pleasure of two different mount view.
That does not sound mach but you will get pleasure out of it. And yes it stack up with aspect of the pack. Some disadvantage however:
- It takes 1.5 seconds to dismount, so no PVP with it. See P.S.
- As all mount you cannot attack or loot but because of the 1.5 seconds dismount it will take you longer to farm with the motorcycle.
P.S – This is not true from the 3.1 patch.
Originally when launched it had the exact specs I mention, however after patch 3.1: you can no longer take long falls without damage. You, the driver, takes all the damage. So no more jumping of the highest mountains as you used to do. Also there is no more dismount cool down. It is immediate, which is good for for farming or pvp. I personally would rather have the original in my opinion, and use another mount for raids, pvp, etc.

You can also use a mirror's reflective power to showcase your beautiful decor or the spectacular view outside your windows. As you plan your mirror decor setup, consider placement carefully. If you angle your mirror just right, you can enhance your vantage point and bring outside views to a specific part of your room. For example, if half of your dining table faces a large picture window, placing a mirror on the wall opposite the table gives those with their backs to the wall a chance to admire the view themselves.
Mirrors provide classic elegance throughout the house, regardless of context. Use a stately decorative mirror over your living room mantelpiece to create a traditional arrangement complete with beautiful decorative objects, such as mantel clocks, ginger jars or vases. Entryways are also ideal settings for mirrors, and this placement really lets their practical function shine. Set a mirror above a console table in your entryway so that you have a functional area that combines storage space for keys and other necessities with a last-minute checkpoint to make sure your hair is coiffed perfectly before you head out for the day. Use our mirrors and furniture to create a foundational arrangement, then add lamps and decorative objects into the mix to make it your own. It's an ideal way to create a welcoming impression right at the entrance to your home.
You can use mirrors as part of a gallery wall or on their own as striking standalone decorative pieces. To mix your mirror with other art, consider your idea wall decor arrangement. If you want even rows or an irregular display, then select the mirror shape and size that makes the most sense based on what your ideal outcome looks like. If you want your gallery wall to look eclectic, pick a mirror that stands out on its own among other distinctive pieces. If you prefer something more subtle and well ordered, choose a subtle mirror style with a classic shape and minimal embellishment. Whether you choose a mirror with a distinct frame or you opt for a simple frameless style, our mirror styles blend beautifully with other types of wall decor, including paintings, photographs, sconces and sculptures.
Whether you choose to have them anchor a decorative arrangement or stand on the sidelines while you showcase other items in your collection, our mirrors are a beautiful addition to your home. Use them to add some light and elegance to your space and enjoy the beauty of reflection.

How is this stack for endurance training?
How is this stack for endurance training?
I am 19, 5' 11", 182# and in reasonable shape. I am looking to gain some size, but my primary focus is getting my athletic endurance up. Right now my only workout is running about 8 miles a week, but plan on lifting weights again.
Based on information from this board, I have come up with this prelimenary stack for endurance training... Anyone care to tear it apart? Thoughts on dosage timing?
- Optimum Nutrition 100% Egg Protein -- 22 g
- NSI CreaPure Creatine -- 5 g
- GNC Pro Performance Beta-Alanine -- 3.2 g
- And a multi-vitamin
I also contemplated something like N.O.XPLODE for pre-workout, but I am kind of on the fence about it.
Thanks for reading!

Eerily similar to a situation I found myself in last week. Leaving the hospital, visiting my dad after he had surgery, an individual in a remote parking lot was being very insistent about getting a ride. I was carrying concealed, and while I did not full on draw, I was on about halfway. (never fully drew my pistol) He was, best I can tell alone, as I checked the area I quit hearing the words come out of his mouth. Not sure if he registered what my motion was, but decided to go look somewhere else for a "ride".
I suspect Ill get hollered at for brandishing or what have you, but after fact armchair criticism doesn't hurt as much as a thump in the bean by someone potentially willing to do a guy harm.
My comments weren't necessarilly directed at the OP's event............just in general terms.
OK, I haven't ready any further than this original post to this forum, so I don't know any particulars yet, but my answer to your question as to whether to draw in this situation, is NO, based on the original information given. If someone were in a darkened area outside of the hospital asking for a cigarette, I would tell him that I don't smoke and I don't have any cigarettes, which is true. If his next action makes me feel that my safety is in danger and I was too far from the entrance to get in quickly, then yes, I would draw.
No need to draw. I would watch them as I enter the ER but unless I get that gut feeling I would place my hand by my gun and that's all until I'm further provoked like him walking up on me, etc.
If the dude is a retired police officer, he probably has a finer tuned radar than many other folks...if he felt a bad vibe, thats his radar talking.
It seems to me that there are many who don't know the exact definition of "brandishing".
I thought it was something to the effect of drawing or holding your weapon in a menacing manner.....

I don't know how anyone could just by drawing a weapon in this case. I don't care if he is an old cop or not. He should know better. It doesn't matter that the gun was hidden behind his leg; you should not draw your weapon unless the situation dictates the use of deadly force with it. This situation was not even close.
Not a full draw. I always make sure my draw isnt blocked by jacket or something that I cant get to my firearm fast. Likely I would just slip my hand onto my weapon under whatever cover im wearing for it. Can get it out as fast that way as from behind my leg.
That said unless brandishing laws are drastically different where this occured even drawing and holding it see by your leg wouldnt be "brandishing". Theres no law here at least prohibiting the casual taking out of a weapon. Brandishing means to use it in a threatening manner not simply draw it and not point it anyone or threaten them with it.
Ive done the behind my leg thing with handguns at home at the door a time or two late at night over the years even with a shotgun hidden behind my leg like that once. And ive taken guns off to remove clothing add clothing while on my bike in plain sight with nary a peep from public or LE.
You dont have to believe a train is coming. Itll run over you anyway.
I'm that guy...lol Retired police officer carrying a 442... I'd defer to the retired officers judgment. Most people have never been in an armed confrontation. Those who have understand the dynamics of real confrontations. My opinion is a person should prepare him/herself to meet violence as quickly, and as quietly as possible.. If the officer choose to pull the gun, and hold it close I'd agree it was probably a prudent move. While I may have done it differently... Not much differently.
Over the years on my life I have learned to trust my instincts. If a situation cause me to alert to danger... I'm going with it. I'm not going to stop and try to anylize the situation until I feel I've prepared flee from, or met the potential threat. While I have no statistical data...I wonder how many people became victims to one level or another while trying to rationalize their situation. Thats just human nature, and many criminals count on these seconds of confusion to close the gap, or present their con.
I have to agree completely. While I may not have actually put the weapon behind my leg you can bet I would already have had my hand on my weapon as discretely as possible and not interfere with my draw. As Spuk says if one has never been put in that position its hard for them to grasp just how fast a situation can go from innocent to a level of violence that most have a hard time imagining and are not ready for. Better to be a bit ahead of the situation than behind the curve even if indiscretely. JMO
You dont have to believe a train is coming. Itll run over you anyway.
Based on the information, I'd say drawing a weapon in this situation was over the top. There was no threat made, not threatening actions by the person bumming a smoke. While my SA would have heightened, my gun would have stayed where it was.

This is much what i expected here, never expected total agreement on whether drawing was warranted or not. For curiosity sake, one (1) other poster on the other forum agreed that drawing was NOT warranted, 40-some say it was. Maybe to them it's more of a case of (not) getting caught drawing in public than whether it was right or wrong.

I read the OP in the other forum. The gentleman wasnot asking for folks opinions. I think he felt he did the right thing and doesn't want to here anythig different. His whole mindset about the incident is "cautious paranoia"...I just made that up LOL. He had an incident that happened 40 years previously and sounds like ever since then he doesn't trust anyone.
His whole rationale behind being suspicious is strange to begin with.The guy asking for a cigarette could have been wondering the same thing? What are you doing out here? Since you can't smoke in a hospital it is logical to see someone outside smoking or looking for a smoke. Nothing strange or unusual abut that at all.If you needed a smoke, would you go to a hospital parking lot on a cold winter night, at 3:00 AM just hoping someone who smokes and has a pack on him will show up before you freeze your *** off?This is the OP's brain trying to find a reason to be suspicious. If the man is looking for a cigarette of course he will ask everyone he thinks that smokes if they have some on them. And chances are that a smoker will have smokes on him.How many non-smokers, since smoking has become the thing not to do, would you have to process before you hit the right combination of a smoker with some on him?
He is comparing this to folks knocking on a door asking to use their phone:3AM in a hospital parking lot where is where smokers would be is not unusual by any stretch of the imagination. If the dudes wife was in surgery or they were waiting for his wife to deliver a person very well could run out of cigarettes and not want to leave the hospital.Asking for a cig at 3:00 AM in an isolated area is the same thing.Glad nothing happened to him 40 years ago. But IMO he is a paranoid son of a gun and his logic is lacking. To draw a weapon with his reasoning is plain out wrong. The threat was in his mind.I have a good story that happened on a very dark night almost 40 years ago in which I dragged a guy about half a mile with his arm clamped in my truck window, and it all started with a conversation that he had the right to initiate in a place he had a right to be.
Had I not caught on to the fact that there was another guy standing at the rear of my truck, I might not be here today.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, Here am I. Send me!

This thread has turned into one big hostile mess. I think it's a HUGE mistake when you start defending your point by using one side's story and completely belittling the other side, especially when you (the figurative you) have absolutely no real idea of what actually took place. :whistle
This was never a matter of friendship; it's a matter of employment. The day you think friendship trumps boss/employee in the business world is the day you become seriously misguided. Even Star has had the good sense to understand and acknowledge that.

text: Dawg Tales: The Acoustic Tribute to David Grisman is a homegrown instrumental homage to the man widely regarded as the world's premier mandolinist. A former player for the Grateful Dead, whose bluegrass collaborations with Jerry Garcia are legendary, Grisman has earned his own place as a modern-day troubadour of consummate ability, carving out a unique genre for himself. "Dawg Music" is the term for Grisman's distinctive style, a blend of folk traditions from bluegrass to swing and Latin to jazz. Dawg Tales is a kindred interweaving of sweet mandolin and fiery fiddle as well as skillful use of violin, marimba, accordion and clarinet as several of today's top musicians match wits with the poetic timbres and tones of Grisman's innovative tunes. Dawg Tales: The Acoustic Tribute to David Grisman is music for all generations, masterful interpretations of a virtuoso performer and producer - David Grisman, music's best friend.
