Pitchfork Music Festival 2008: Friday
By Pitchfork Staff , July 22, 2008
Photos by Francis Chung, Leigh Ann Hines, Karra McDonald, Joseph Mohan, Jen Reel, and Nolan Wells; Above: Public Enemy by Francis Chung
Once again, we at Pitchfork are thrilled and humbled with the success of our annual festival and after a hell of an exhausting weekend, our in-house editorial staff has worked overtime to bring our readers a photo-happy, interview-accented set of features recapping the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival. (Stay tuned as well for reports in the next few weeks on Pitchfork TV .) We couldn't have done it without all of you, so thanks to everyone who came to the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival, especially those who came early on Saturday and therefore braved a bit of incelement weather and those of you whose patience and energy helped transform the abbreviated Sunday night Cut Copy set-- heavily delayed by travel problems-- into an incredible success.
Thanks also once again to our Friday night partners, Barry and Deborah Hogan and All Tomorrow's Parties (and their Don't Look Back series), for helping deliver an unbelievable opening night. Thanks as well to all of the sponsors, vendors, film and webcast crews, and volunteers-- particularly stage announcers Tim Tuten and Damon Locks-- whose tireless efforts and contributions help keep this festival pretty ridiculously cheap and efficient. Also thanks to our photographers-- Francis Chung, Leigh Ann Hines, Karra McDonald, Joseph Mohan, Jen Reel, Marty Perez, and Nolan Wells-- whose shots you'll see in this and other features.
Finally, special thanks to Mike Reed and his crew at At Pluto and to Pitchfork publisher Chris Kaskie for orchestrating another incredible Pitchfork Music Festival.
Mission of Burma performing

Interview: Mission of Burma | [Interview by Dave Maher]
Pitchfork: How do you feel, post-set? Do you feel it went well?
Roger Miller: I broke two strings in the second song. I was yanking em out. The humidity was kind of crazy. So it was a little bit off-kilter, just being outside, but this was a really fun set.
Clint Conley: Sometimes I found myself in the middle of the wrong song, but other than that...
RM: We started a couple of songs wrong, but you know, it's fine. It's the kind of thing that was like fun and games.
Pitchfork: How have these shows playing Vs. been in general?
RM: Really good.
And you guys have been playing
Signals, Calls, and Marches
too, right?
CC: Yeah, we're doing that tomorrow night in Detroit.
Pitchfork: Which do you prefer?
RM: I think Vs. is better, myself. I think it's a better record, and it's slightly more ripping.
CC: Yeah.
RM: People who see them like them both a lot. I have a couple of friends who saw both shows in Boston, and they said both were really good but Vs. was ramped up just one more level.
CC: Part of that is, possibly, the immutable law that [if] you go out [to play] for a weekend, the second night is going to be better than the first night.
RM: We played Boston Signals , Boston Vs. , the next night New York Signals , New York Vs. , so we played four in a row, so it doesn't quite jive. Though I appreciate you trying to be objective about it.
CC: It doesn't feel different from other Burma gigs. Old stuff, new stuff...
RM: It really hardly matters, in a way. It's kind of creepy.
Pitchfork: How so?
RM: Well it's just weird.
Pitchfork: Weird that people are into each as much, or weird that it sounds...
RM: Weird that we don't know the difference either, even more than the people [we're playing for]. You know, when we first started playing [together again] in 2002, all we had was old stuff, except we each had one new song. And that was great. And then we gradually replaced it, so last fall we were hardly doing any of the old stuff. It was almost all new stuff. And now we're doing all old stuff. And it just feels like a Burma set. All those sound like Burma songs. The weird thing is that, in the history of the band, until we started doing Vs. and Signals , we only played the same set twice. Every single night we'd draw up a set from scratch. We never ever played the same set twice, until we started doing Signals and Vs. And they're fine. It's weird. The law has been broken.
Pitchfork: Do you feel as if you've traveled through time in some way? Do you feel the same age you were when you recorded these records when you play them now?
RM: It doesn't matter that much. It just doesn't matter.
CC: Once you're in the middle of a song, it just feels like you're in the middle of a blizzard. It's not locked into any particular time.
RM: No, I don't feel like 26 and "Where's the person I knew then out in the puny audience?" I don't think about that.
Pitchfork: This is actually the second time you guys have played the Pitchfork festival. What was the difference between tonight and last time?
RM: The primary difference is the temperature. Last time it was 100 degrees, and we were in the blazing sun in the afternoon. This is about 83, in the evening, and it was cool.
Pitchfork: Is this in the middle of a tour for you guys, or is it toward the end?
RM: We don't really do much. I guess it's toward the end of a little batch.
CC: It's kind of near the end. Tomorrow's our last night. This is the first night.
[ All laugh. ]
RM: It's not like we do tours. If we play more than six dates in a row, it's intriguing. We're actually playing the West Coast in September. We're doing Signals and Vs. in L.A. and San Francisco. There'll be other nights, Signals and Vs. alternating. So that's really kind of the conclusion of the reissues touring spat.
Pitchfork: Has this left you guys chomping at the bit to do new stuff?
RM: Yeah. I mean we just learned 12 new songs, but they're all old songs that we wrote 25 years ago. But you know, some of them are pretty interesting.
Pitchfork: In re-learning these songs, did you have the experience of not remembering how you did certain things?
RM: A bit. But once you do it, like I go, "What did I do?", then I hear [drummer] Pete [Prescott] do the drums, and then I suddenly remember what I did because of him. It's like we're all kind of bouncing off each other.
CC: There are still a couple of little mystery corners.
RM: There are some mystery corners.
Pitchfork: Do you like having those, or are those things you'd like to round out?
CC: Um... they're there, I guess.
RM: If we went the other direction in time, if time went backwards and it was like 1983 and we were trying to figure out how to play "2wice" or "Donna Sumeria", we'd probably have mystery problems with those. So it hardly matters.
[ Peter Prescott enters .]
Pitchfork: [ to Peter Prescott ] Hey, I was just talking to your bandmates about how you've enjoyed playing the festival, and how this time differs from the last time you guys played.
RM: It's a living hell.
[All laugh.]
PP: It's a living horror. No, it's a blast. It took us a few weeks to get our brains around it, because we were playing new stuff. And the old stuff was just tossed in as fun time. Initially, there was something a little weird about it being, "Okay, now you must be nostalgic." It's like, "Wow, that's a bummer."
Pitchfork: Well these guys were implying that it's not actually that nostalgic.
PP: You have to sort of switch it around in your head and say, "Well, we don't know some of those songs, so they're actually new." So when they became new, then they became fun. It's a way of seeing it in your head to make it work. I think we wouldn't be around if we were treading on old times. We wouldn't be here right now. I can guarantee you, we wouldn't. If we had not made new records, there would absolutely be no Burma right now. The fact that we did and moved forward allowed this step backward.
Pitchfork: I appreciated your "Welcome to the Burmadome" comment during the set.
PP: [ Laughs ] I'm glad somebody heard that.
Pitchfork: Are you guys going to try to catch any of the Public Enemy set?
All: Oh yeah.
CC: The main difference between this time and last time-- I'm very sincerely honored to be asked to do this record because it's really the last thing we expected to be doing 28 years [ago] or whatever. What is it, 26 years? It's amazing. It's like a fairy tale. You kidding me? We're very lucky.
PP: The thing I'll say about Public Enemy: I'd rather hear Fear of a Black Planet . That's the last time I'll say that. In fact, I just listened to Apocalypse '91 . I love that record! Yo! Bum Rush the Show and this one [ It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back ] I like. They're great. But the third and fourth... I think those are the killer ones, myself.
Pitchfork: Maybe you can convince them before the set.
PP: [ Laughs ] Yeah, right. "Can you do that as an encore? Can you do your third and fourth records?"

At times it may be desirable to allow applications running on a computer or computer system to share some files while restricting access to other files. For example, all the applications running on a particular machine may need to share files one through ten but perhaps only application one should have access to file eleven and only application two should have access to files twelve and thirteen. One way to accomplish this is to make several sets of the files all the applications need. That is, a first set of files might include a copy of files one through ten and file eleven for use by application one. A second set of files might include a copy of files one through ten and files twelve and thirteen for use by application two. One immediately obvious disadvantage to this approach is the additional storage space required for maintaining separate sets of files. Duplicative requirements for other system resources such as memory and paging space may also result from this approach. Another disadvantage to this approach is that when a file needs to be modified, it must be modified in both sets of files (e.g., if a new version of file one becomes available, file one in both sets of files would have to be updated).
Furthermore, it may be desirable to make the shared part of the file system read only but allow the unshared portion of the file system to be writable. For example, in the scenario described above, application one may need to create or write to file eleven and application two may need to create or write to files twelve and thirteen. Typically, however, it would be desirable to prevent application one from accessing files twelve and thirteen and to prevent application two from accessing file eleven. Embodiments of the invention address these and other needs.
Two or more separate physical file system directories are presented as a single (virtual) merged file system directory to an application running in a controlled execution environment called a silo. All of the operations normally available to be performed on a file system directory can be performed on the merge directory, however, the operating system controls the level of access to the files in the merge directory. The operating system provides the merged view of the file system directories by monitoring file system requests made by processes in silos on a computer or computer system and in response to detecting certain types of file system access requests, provides the view of the seemingly merged directories by performing special processing. The types of requests which trigger the special processing include: enumeration, open, create, rename or close. The state required to create the merged view is not stored on permanent media.
In the drawings:
Ideally, an operating system would be able to control the sharing of files and would be able to control the level of access to files at an application level. For example, it may be useful for an operating system to be able to allow application one read only access to files one through ten and read-write access to file eleven, while allowing application two read only access to files one through ten and read-write access to files twelve and thirteen. Typically, however, current known operating systems provide all processes running under the same user account with the same level of access to the same set of files. Thus, in the example described above, if the same user initiated applications one and two, in order to allow application one to write to file eleven and application two to write to files twelve and thirteen, application one would also have read-write access to files twelve and thirteen and application two would have read-write access to file eleven.
Thus, in many systems, limited points of containment in the system exist at the operating system process level and at the machine boundary of the operating system itself, but in between these levels, security controls such as Access Control Lists (ACLS) and privileges associated with the identity of the user running the application are used to control process access to files. Because access to system resources is associated with the identity of the user running the application rather than with the application itself, the application may have access to files that the application does not need, as demonstrated by the example above. Because multiple applications may be able to modify the same file, incompatibility between applications can result. Security problems may also arise, as one application may maliciously or accidentally interfere with the operation of another application.
An intra-operating system isolation/containment mechanism called herein a silo provides for the grouping and isolation of processes running on a single computer using a single instance of the operating system. A single instance of the operating system divides the processing space for the system into multiple side-by-side and/or nested execution environments (silos) enabling the controlled sharing of some files and restriction of access to other files. The operating system controls file sharing and access by creating different views of the file system for each silo. The view appears to processes running in the silo to be a single directory which is the union of two or more physical file system directories. That is, the files available to an application depend on which silo the application is running in and the file system that an application running in a silo "sees" is created by apparently merging two or more file system directories. The single OS image serving the computer or computer system thus provides a different view of the file system so as to control which process, group of processes, application or group of applications can use which files(s) and how the files can be used. Access to files and the degree of access to accessible files is therefore directly associated with or based on the silo that the process, application, group of processes or group of applications is placed in and is not solely or primarily determined by user privileges.
Although not required, the invention can be implemented via an application programming interface (API), for use by a developer, and/or included within the network browsing software which will be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by one or more computers, such as client workstations, servers, or other devices. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures and the like that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically, the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations. Other well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers (PCs), automated teller machines, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based systems, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network or other data transmission medium. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
With reference to
Computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CDROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by computer 110. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared, and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 130 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 131 and random access memory (RAM) 132. A basic input/output system 133 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 110, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 131. RAM 132 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 120. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 110 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
A monitor 191 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 121 via an interface, such as a video interface 190. A graphics interface 182, such as Northbridge, may also be connected to the system bus 121. Northbridge is a chipset that communicates with the CPU, or host processing unit 120, and assumes responsibility for accelerated graphics port (AGP) communications. One or more graphics processing units (GPUs) 184 may communicate with graphics interface 182. In this regard, GPUs 184 generally include on-chip memory storage, such as register storage and GPUs 184 communicate with a video memory 186. GPUs 184, however, are but one example of a coprocessor and thus a variety of coprocessing devices may be included in computer 110. A monitor 191 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 121 via an interface, such as a video interface 190, which may in turn communicate with video memory 186. In addition to monitor 191, computers may also include other peripheral output devices such as speakers 197 and printer 196, which may be connected through an output peripheral interface 195.
The computer 110 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 180. The remote computer 180 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 110, although only a memory storage device 181 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 110 is connected to the LAN 171 through a network interface or adapter 170. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 110 typically includes a modem 172 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 173, such as the Internet. The modem 172, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 121 via the user input interface 160, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 110, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation,
One of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that a computer 110 or other client device can be deployed as part of a computer network. In this regard, the present invention pertains to any computer system having any number of memory or storage units, and any number of applications and processes occurring across any number of storage units or volumes. The present invention may apply to an environment with server computers and client computers deployed in a network environment, having remote or local storage. The present invention may also apply to a standalone computing device, having programming language functionality, interpretation and execution capabilities.
The operating system monitors file system access requests made by a process running in a silo. Multiple silos may exist on the computer or in the computer system at the same time. Multiple processes may execute within each silo. A single operating system image creates the silos and creates and monitors all the processes in all the silos. A silo-specific view of a file system directory is created by the operating system by an apparent merging of two or more physical backing stores (file directories) together into what appears to the silo to be a single directory. That is, two or more separate file system directories may be exposed to a silo (and the processes running within the silo) as a single directory. One or more of the physical backing stores may be used to build a portion of the silo-specific view for one or more of the silos.
A silo may be used to create an isolated execution environment so that resources associated with one silo are available to processes running within that silo but are not accessible to other silos running on the computer or on other computers in the computer system or computer network. For example, if silo 202 were an isolated execution environment a resource (not shown) available to process 216 running in silo 202 would be unavailable to a process such as process 226 running in a second silo, silo 220. A second process running in silo 202 (such as process 217) would however, have access to that resource. Similarly a resource available to processes 226 and 227 would be unavailable to processes 216 and 217 running in silo 202.
Alternatively, in accordance with embodiments of the invention, a silo may be used to create a semi-isolated or controlled execution environment in which some resources are shared and some resources are not shared or in which some portions of a resource are shared and other portions of the resource are not shared. One such contemplated resource is the file system directory. For example, in silo 202 one or more processes such as process 216 and 217 may be running and have access to a file system directory. In some embodiments of the invention, the file system directory is a virtual merge directory 212, wherein the virtual merge directory 212, although appearing to processes 216 and 217 as a single physical directory is actually a virtual view of the union of two or more directories created by the operating system using callbacks to perform special processing for certain types of operations under certain circumstances. The view created by the operating system 214 may comprise the union of the entries of at least one (physical) public or global (to the computer system) shareable directory and at least one (physical) private or local (to the silo) directory merged together to create the virtual merge directory, although the invention as contemplate is not so limited. A merge directory may be built up from any combination of two or more public or private directories, one or more of which is designated as read-only or read-write. Furthermore, no public backing store may exist for one or more of the contributing directories. For example, the shareable portion of the virtual merge directory created by the operating system in some embodiments of the invention is a global directory (e.g., a WINDOWS directory) while a private, unshared portion of the virtual merge directory is associated with a particular silo (e.g., with silo 202), and may represent, for example, local or private files for applications running in that silo. For example, in
Thus, it will be appreciated that as more than one silo may exist on a computer or in a computer system at one time, more than one virtual merge directory may also exist at one time, that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between silo and virtual merge directory but any number of silos and merge directories may exist at any one time on a particular computer or computer system. Moreover, a portion of each virtual merge directory may include a shareable portion (e.g., in
In some embodiments of the invention, the mechanism in the operating system 214 which creates the merge directories (e.g., merge directories 212 and 232) is a filter driver which is able to insert itself into the code paths of operations by registering callbacks. In some embodiments of the invention, the filter drivers comprise a part of the file system. In some embodiments of the invention, the callbacks registered for include PreCreate, PostCreate, PreDirectoryControl, PreQueryInformation, PreSetInformation, and PreClose, although it will be appreciated that other callbacks may be registered. In some embodiments of the invention, the operations for which special processing (e.g., via callbacks) is performed are enumeration, open, create, rename and close operations for files, directories and sub-directories. For example, an enumeration operation may be associated with PreDirectoryControl and PreQueryInformation callbacks, open and create with PreCreate and PostCreate callbacks, close with a PreClose callback and rename with a PreSetInformation callback. In some embodiments, when a file system access request is sent from a process, the operating system monitors the request via the callbacks and if the operation is one of those for which special processing is to occur, performs the special processing. For example, in
Each of the contributing (backing store) directories may be associated with a rank, (e.g, in
For example, a file system enumeration in some embodiments is the union of all the files and subdirectories from all the contributing directories. If the same name exists in more than one of the contributing directories, the rank of each of the contributing directories is used to determine which directory's version of the name should be exposed. When opening a file from within a merge directory, the file is opened from the highest rank directory exposing the file. When creating a file, if the file does not already exist in any of the contributing directories it will be created in the directory with the highest rank. When renaming a file, each of the contributing directories is queried to determine that the new name is not already in use, and if it is not, then the file will be renamed to the new name.
In some embodiments of the invention, instead of associating a rank with a directory, each file within each directory is associated with a rank that determines which file is exposed to the silo when more than one file or directory has the same name in contributing directories.
For example, at 306, the operating system may determine that the file system access request is an operation that creates or opens a file or directory (306).
At 402, if the open is an absolute open (not a relative open) and the caller is in a silo processing continues at 404. In some embodiments of the invention, the operating system determines if the open or create file request is a relative or an absolute open/create by looking at several fields in the file system access request. If the file system access request includes only a file name, and the thread originating the request does not belong to a process running in a silo, the request is considered to be an absolute open. Similarly, when a process (in a silo or not in a silo) passes a handle to a file to another process, if the original handle was opened in a silo, processing continues at 404. The information stored in the handle field can be used to retrieve metadata associated with the handle (408).
Thus, at 404, the name of the file is examined within the context of the silo. The file or directory is opened using the silo view whenever the file or directory referenced in the request was originally opened within a silo (as, for example, may happen when a first process opens a file in a silo and then passes a handle to that file to another process inside or outside of a silo). In some embodiments of the invention, if a field in the request representing a handle to an existing open file or directory is not null, the request is considered to be a relative request. If, at 402, the caller is not in a silo or if the original handle was not opened in a silo, then processing proceeds as normal (406). If the request uses an absolute name (that is, names the file or directory explicitly using a path name and the open file field of the request is null), the operating system determines if the process initiating the request (the caller) is in a silo or not. In some embodiments of the invention, the operating system determines if the caller is in a silo by determining if the thread originating the file system access request is in a silo. Alternatively, in some embodiments the operating system may determine if the caller is in a silo by examining the file system access request which may be tagged with a silo identifier if the request originated from a caller in a silo. If the caller is in a silo, the file or directory is opened using the silo view.
Thus, if the file or directory referenced in the request was not originally opened in a silo, or if the request is an absolute open and the caller is not in a silo, processing continues at 406. That is, normal processing proceeds. In normal processing in some embodiments of the invention, the I/O Manager examines the device object to determine if the device object has a valid pointer to a volume parameter block (VPB) and uses the DeviceObject field of the VPB to find the correct file system device object. If the device object does not have a valid VPB pointer, the I/O Manager sends the IRP_MJ_CREATE request directly to the device driver for the device object passed in by the object manager.
At 404, if the operation is to be processed using the silo view, the name of the file or directory in the request is examined and is interpreted within the context of the silo. Suppose for example, "File1" exists in both a global directory (e.g., the shareable portion of the merge directory view) and a private directory (e.g., the portion which is not shareable with other silos). Suppose an application running in a silo requests to open "File1" using a relative open. Suppose that File1 is to be opened relative to "C:\WINDOWS" opened within a silo, where "C:\WINDOWS" is actually "C:\Silos\0000\WINDOWS". In this case the request would be re-written so that the File1 in the private directory (e.g., "C:\Silos\0000\WINDOWS" would be referenced, not the File1 in the global directory. Normal error processing occurs. That is, if, for example, in an open operation, the file identified by the name in the file system access request is searched for but is not found in any of the target directories, an error message is returned. If a file is found in an appropriate directory, a handle to the file is returned to the caller. Metadata may be attached to the handle before it is returned to the caller for a successful open or create. If the file is not found, an error message is returned. At 408 the merge directory metadata for the silo is retrieved. At 410 if the requested name is not found in the private portion of the merge directory, processing continues at 422. At 422 other directories (such as the public location) may be examined for the file. If the request is a create request, the file may be created in the merge location. If the request is successful, metadata is attached to the request so that future requests on the handle are properly processed. At 410, if the requested name is found in the merge directory, it is determined whether the named file is to be created or opened (412). In some operating systems the "create operation" can be used both to open and to create files. If this is the case, step 412 is required. If the requested operation is an "open file" at 420, the operating system determines if the file exists in the private (unshareable portion) of the merge directory. At 420 if the operating system determines that the file does not exist in the private portion of the virtual merge file directory, the public portion of the merge directory is examined for the file. If the file does not exist in the public portion of the merge directory, an error message is returned. If the file is found in the merge directory, the handle to the file is returned. If at 412 it is determined that the file is to be created, at 414, the operating system checks to see if the file already exists in the public or private directory. If it does, an error results (418). If it does not, the file is created in the private directory, metadata is associated with the handle (416) and the handle is returned to the caller, along with the metadata.
For example, suppose that process 216 in silo 202 issues a file system request 240. Suppose further that file system request 240 is a create file request (in WINDOWS, this may entail sending an IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP to the volume on which the merge directory exists). The PreCreate callback is called when the IRP_MJ_CREATE IRP is sent. Because the callback is made, a filter driver in OS 214 is able to examine the request and determine if special handling is required for this particular create operation. If the file should be accessed using a silo virtual view (a merge directory), special handling is required. If it is not, no special handling is required. If special handling is required, the merge directory metadata for the particular silo is retrieved. In some operating systems, a "create" operation may be used to open a file or to create a new file. If the disposition of the create statement indicates that a file is to be created, the operating system checks to see if the file already exists in the public contributing directory (e.g., WINDOWS directory 204). (That would be an error condition and appropriate error processing would ensue.) If the disposition of the create statement indicates that an existing file is to be opened, the operating system checks to see if the file exists in the private directory 206. If the file is found, then the request continues down the stack along with the location of the existing file. If an existing version of the file is not found, the location from which to perform the open is changed to the other contributing directory (to directory 204) and the request continues down the stack. Alternatively, the request may be reparsed by reissuing the request at the top of the stack. If the file name being accessed is not within a merge directory, processing proceeds as normal. If any special handling of the request was performed, metadata is associated with the file handle. This metadata can be accessed if further operations on the file are performed (such as for example a request to query the file name or an attempt to open another file relative to an open directory. In some embodiments of the invention, the metadata will be attached to the file handle during PostCreate.
Referring again to
If the operation is a query (322) (such as a request for the name or other information about the file) the physical name of the file is retrieved at 324 and the name is updated, if necessary, to reflect the proper name for the requestor. In some instances, if a request for the name of a file is received or a request for other information about a file is received, the silo relative name rather than the physical name of the file on stable storage is returned. That is, if a request to receive file information is received, the information is returned by the operating system and any information is updated as required (328) so that it matched the name the caller used to open the file, thus maintaining the illusion that all of the contents of the contributing directories are in the same merge directory. For example, suppose a process inside a silo has passed a handle to a process outside the silo and that process now wants the name of the file, the name of the file that would be returned to the requestor would be the non-silo or system name of the file, not the silo name of the file. Similarly, if a process inside a silo had a handle to a system file, it would need the silo name of the file, not the system name of the file. Hence, given a handle, the name of the file that is appropriate for the requestor is returned.
If the operation encountered is a rename file (326) the operating system must ensure that the new name (the name to which the filed is going to be renamed), which is a silo-relative name is translated into a physical name before the underlying file system sees it so that the file system renames the file properly. If at 330 the operation is determined to be a close, the PreClose callback is invoked. At 332 any metadata associated with the file being closed is deleted. It will be appreciated that one or more of the above listed actions may be optional or skipped and that the actions may proceed in a sequence other than that depicted in

Just Because: Celebrate Bart Starr's 80th birthday with Vitalis
It's Bart Starr's 80th birthday, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Packers legendary quarterback's birth than with this flashback to a simpler time in the 1950s.
When you could toss the ol' pigskin at moving targets made out of something I don't quite recognize (are those kites or something?) and a real man tossed some Vitalis in his hair and moved on with the rest of his day knowing his coif would look slick and well-managed without all that grease.
Witness this commercial for the hair tonic:
I'll say this, though. It's got to be brutal grooming yourself next to Starr, because he's certainly not afraid to scold you "to get that greasy kid stuff out of your hair." Then, like a jackass, you'll have to put your entire head under the sick in order to wet your head and try again.
If you don't use Vitalis, Bart Starr would be awfully disappointed in you. And it's his birthday today, too. Don't disappoint Bart Starr on his birthday.

These guys guided down. Consensus eps 2.77, midpoint of guidance 2.75 for next year. Should be tanking. Love how managements do everything they can to cover bad news.
Doesn't matter as they are selling k&g, which will be lots of cash unlocking potential for growth.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Yeah. They are great at using capital and cash. Good news if they distribute cash, bad news if they invest. Returns are meh. Cash would be allocated to other retailers.
Assuming you disagree. Looks like we are entering high beta times which means all capital allocaters will look good. Low/negative beta reveals dogs like this

Publisher's Description
When Karlina Richter finds out that a new shepherd will be sent to East Amana, she fears she'll no longer be able to help her father with the sheep. She'll be relegated back to kitchen work, a job she dislikes. Her fears increase when Anton Becker arrives and shows little interest in the flock--or in divulging why he's been sent to East. Dare she trust Anton to help her father, or is he keeping secrets that will impact them all?
After learning that her father will be transferred from Cincinnati to a job in Texas, Dovie Cates decides she wants to visit the Amana Colonies, where her mother spent her formative years. She writes to relatives still living in the Colonies and is invited to spend some time there. Soon after her arrival, Dovie meets Berndt, the handsome young man who delivers bread to the kitchen house each day. But when Dovie begins to ask questions about her mother's past, no one seems willing to tell her anything, so Dovie decides to take matters into her own hands. Will her decision spell disaster for her future with Berndt?

Once again the support of the Siam Care staff is tangible and lively during the monthly visit in the prison hospital. The prisoners are already sitting and waiting for Siam Care to arrive. It is obvious that they are happy to see us. They are all smiles and having a small talk together. For the prisoners, especially those who are terribly ill and weak, Siam-Care's visits offer a moment to escape the hard reality and to connect, to develop friendships and to experience a sense of hope. Ard and Leng, two well trusted and longstanding employees of Siam Care are well known among the prisoners and their attendants. It is heartening to see their glowing faces when Ard and Leng are listening to their stories and comforting them. Stories that are heartbreaking and overwhelming but everyday reality for the men who are locked up inside of Bangkok's prison hospital.
Meet Chatchai, a prisoner who is highly affected by HIV/AIDS, emaciated and weak. Some time ago his condition deteriorated en he couldn't feel his legs and feet anymore. He was tied to the bed, not able to move around. That made Chatchai very sad. "Before I came here I was very active in sports, like Thai volleyball. I really enjoyed doing that, it made me feel alive". Standing at his bedside we were very pleased to note that the feeling in his legs improved. Slowly he was able to move them and even stand a little. He still has a long period to stay in prison, but what keeps him going are the visits of his wife and son. Although they came only twice in the ten years of his imprisonment, it gives him a lot of joy and strength…… Because his wife is not earning enough money to come and visit Chatchai, Siam Care provides for her and their son' s travel expenses, so they can visit. Thankfully Siam Care was there to witness their precious reunion. The whole ward brightened up and this gave a tiny ray of hope for all the prisoners who were present. Chatchai hopes to see his family again soon and to be able to walk again.
Aun, a 40 year old prisoner lying next to Chatchai, has trouble moving the lower part of his body. His legs and feet are numb, making it hard for him to stand and move around. Because of good behavior, Aun will be released earlier from prison and he is very excited and making plans for his future. He wants to go back to his home village and set up a fish farm together with his brother and sister. Aun told us that he had a hard time accepting the visits of his sister, he felt very ashamed and sorry for the pain he had caused his family. He is now determined to make the right decisions in life, to restore his family ties and take care of his loved ones.
Many sick and weak prisoners come from far places outside Bangkok, making it hard for the families to come and visit. In order to make this possible, donations are needed. With your gift we can help restore the ties with their families and provide them with hope for a better life. Would you like to be part of that?
Just imagine: you are a 34 year old single mother with an 11-year-old daughter living in a basic shelter next to your parent's house. You have psoriasis, a persistent skin-problem, which is so bad that your whole skin is being eaten away by the disease. It actually makes you so weak that you cannot walk, indeed: moving around at all is hardly possibly.
Not open to help from othersThis is the story of Ying. She is one of the people that Siam-Care is looking after. And that is pretty amazing in itself, as a year ago Ying and especially her parents, were absolutely not open to receive help from others, to put it mildly. They had this strong believe that Ying's skin-problems were caused by evil spirits. To get rid of them, they thought, Ying just had to wait for a good spirit to heal her body, while receiving treatment from the local medicine man. At one stage Ying was so weak that all she could do was lay on the floor for two months, without the tiniest bit of movement. It is little miracle that at that time she didn't pass away.
Renewed energy for YingAfter a while Ying's neighbors became so worried about her physical condition, that they contacted the local hospital. The hospital then contacted Siam Care and asked us to visit. After seeing Ying's condition we transported Ying to the hospital where she finally received correct treatment. Since then we have added Ying to our support program and Siam-Care workers now visit her regularly at home, with amazing results. As we have time with Ying and her family we have the opportunity to provide medication, encourage her and talk about all sorts of issues the family is struggling with. It obviously helped Ying; she now is able to walk small distances again. Her skin still gives her a hard time, but due to the medicine she applies daily Ying regained her strength and has renewed energy to look after her daughter.
Your donations help Ying and daughter TikYing and Tik live in a small village,15 kilometers away from the main provincial city. Ying has no job and has to survive on 500 baht ($ 16) monthly government subsidy, which she receives as disability support. Her parents grow rice on the small fields they own, they can grow enough for their family's rice supply but not enough to sell and cover all the household expenses i.e. food, toiletries school fees for Tik, medicine and transportation for Ying. Because of your donations Siam-Care is able to support Ying and her daughter improve their quality of life.
The work of Siam-Care in the prison, can be a slow process to seeing improvement and changes in lives. Long sentences contribute to the inmates feeling lethargic and hopeless, difficult to motivate or stimulate to look after their health.
But there are high lights which make the work, the time and effort put into it, all worthwhile. We want to share one such high light with you in the form of a letter received from Mr Pat one of the inmates who has been in the hospital ward for many months. From being a quiet man without much hope he changed into a friendly and talkative person who is motivated to improve his life and looks forwards to his release in a few years time.
Here some exerts of Mr. Pat's letter:
"When I lived outside I was a teenager without a goal in life, dropped out of school and ended up using amphetamines to pass the time. This eventually led me to selling drugs which is the reason I am now in prison with a 15 year sentence.........
After being incarcerated a couple of years I became sick, so very sick that my legs and lower part of my body lost all strength and I couldn't even get up any longer. I gave up on life and didn't have a reason to continue. But two other inmates were my friends and didn't let me give up, they kept encouraging me and telling me that I would be a free man again one day and have a new life on the outside. Also my mother and sister kept visiting me. I thought they would be angry and upset with me and not want to have anything to do with me, but instead they continued to come on visiting day and begged me not to give up on life. So finally I agreed to see the prison doctor and was eventually diagnosed with HIV and Psoriasis..........
I was admitted into the hospital and here I met you (Siam-Care staff), you also didn't let me give up but brought me hope and stories about life outside. I started to tell myself that I still had a life ahead and should exercise if I wanted to leave this place walking on my own. So slowly I started practicing; first moving my toes, then my feet, then bending my legs. I practiced every day and improved little by little, I also received medication for my sicknesses..........
I started this in 2011 and now I am walking again with a stick, I have never skipped a dosage of medication and every day I feel stronger and happier. And I will never give up.........
Thank you for helping me, for being my friend and encouraging me, I will never forget you."

23 short novels you can read over a weekend
From Ernest Hemingway to Kurt Vonnegut, Emma Freud to Ursula LeGuin
Welcome to the new Independent website. We hope you enjoy it and we value your feedback. Please contact us here.
From Ernest Hemingway to Kurt Vonnegut, Emma Freud to Ursula LeGuin
Huddersfield Town 0 Peterborough United 3
At the outset, the American academic Deborah Lutz describes the impetus of this book in terms of the following question: "If we could be young sexual innovators and deviants out for action in Victorian London, how might that feel?" A snap response might be that, in terms of English usage, we couldn't possibly feel "out for action", a much more recent coinage. Pleasure Bound moves on to give us snapshots of 19th-century specimens of debauched and sexually outré behaviour – which means, in practice, all the usual suspects. The Pre-Raphaelites, Algernon Swinburne, Henry Spencer Ashbee, Richard Burton, Oscar Wilde are present and incorrect.
It was a balmy evening on 27 September 1894 when two men appeared at the front door of the Albion Hotel in Brighton and asked if they could rent a room. One was a young newspaper seller from Worthing named Alfonso Conway. His companion was Oscar Wilde.
Crossing over from adult films to the mainstream isn't easy – but then Sasha Grey isn't your average ex-porn star, says Luke Blackall
A series of rare letters in which Oscar Wilde appears to proposition the editor of a ladies' magazine sold for more than £30,000 today, an auction house said.
Don't be a snob, says Michael Bywater – musicals are the purest form of theatre, and they're booming. But why? Could it be, simply, that they cheer us up in these recessionary times?
Correspondence reveals the burgeoning homosexuality that would land writer in prison
David Cameron has been criticised for a string of factual errors – from the date the US entered the Second World War to Iran's nuclear capability. David Randall imagines how the PM might tell the story of the past 2,000 years
In the week of the 109th anniversary of Oscar Wilde's death, The Independent is giving you an exclusive chance to listen to and download a new drama by Made in Manchester/Dark Smile, written by Thomas Wright, about the 19th Century writer, wit and raconteur.
The once neglected creator of Cranford is to be commemorated in a window above Poets' Corner
He should have been hailed a hero for his wartime codebreaking. Instead he was prosecuted for his homosexuality and took his own life. So why has Britain never said sorry? Jonathan Brown reports
'I saw the Treasury at Petra completely alone – amazing'
The latest instalment in our "Educated opinion" series: a graduate from Trinity College Dublin describes the modern outlook of a 400-year-old institution.
After 143 years, the London institution frequented by Winston Churchill and Oscar Wilde has closed its doors
Sung in Tom Hammond's English translation, Richard Strauss's setting of Oscar Wilde's play comes over with authority, due to Susan Bullock's perfect traversal of the heroine's innocence-to-depravity arc and conductor Charles Mackerras's placing of the score as refined voluptuousness with some kicks along the way.
A picture of Oscar Wilde through the literary works that were his reality

I'm going to call this a formatting error and a sad omission of credit, because I refuse to believe that someone would shamelessly lift words that they hadn't written and posit them as their own. Maybe it's the editors' fault. In either case, it's sloppy posting and comes off as skeezy no matter what the excuse might be.
Hell, just submit the rest of the article next time - why bother linking to a source or crediting an original author?

The food is expensive, and not that good. the location in my town is next to a walmart so access to them is not easy.
Maybe it's time to get an education, a real job and move out of the trailer park. When you're living the low life like you, it's no wonder why your colon does flip flops when it has healthy food from PNRA. You got to get off the hot pockets.
Healthy? That's questionable if you're getting your food from a restaurant. You want healthy, you eat at home! You are inferring you are educated, but you appear to be myopic and easily fooled by your local situation. I would consider you the 95 percentile, thinks he knows, but don't really know. Just because pnra had a nice run the past 5 yrs., doesn't mean it's going to have the same nice run the next 5 yrs. Dead money at best. The management is telling you that. You are like a weak poker player how see the flop, but flopped a weak draw, yet chases just in case the next card and the river card makes his hand. Too funny.

Let's make this a recurring event for medium-length board games and the weeknight connoisseur. I'll bring some games that fit the bill, members are welcome to bring some games as well. Set-up and a run-down of the rules starts at 6:30, game on at approximately 7:00.
Look for us in the dining section of the store. If you enter New Seasons on the Division side, we will be just to the right. All are encouraged to bring games - just remember you might need to teach them!
There is a cap of 10 people for this event because of the initial agreement with New Seasons to use their space. HOWEVER, wait-listers are welcome to show up for the second round of games after the peak dinner hour. Space usually opens up around 7:30-8:00.
If you would like to attend and there are no spots left, please RSVP to the wait list and let me know in the comments. That way I can ensure a spot for you in our second round of games.
Hope we see you there!
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
