Modern Manners + Etiquette: Giving Gifts + More
Thursday, July 12, 2012
Dear Didi,
Recently my wife of fifteen years joined the only Alcoholics Anonymous meeting group in our small rural town. At a meeting yesterday, an older gentleman approached her and said, "Do you believe in love at first sight?" My wife was not flattered but didn't want to be rude. What should she have said? Name withheld
Dear spouse,
When someone is rude to her like that again, she can say, "The first time I saw my husband fifteen years ago, he said exactly the same thing. We're raising three wonderful kids and have a happy marriage." The next time your wife gets up to speak at her AA meeting she can tell the audience how much she loves her husband and how grateful she is for his support. That way everyone will know that your wife is clearly unavailable. ~Didi
Dear Didi,
It's my son and daughter-in-law's first wedding anniversary—should I give her a personal gift? Katherine, Warren
Dear Katherine,
You're going through the stage commonly called Establishing Shared Family Traditions. Remember if you give her/them a first anniversary present, you're setting them up to expect a second, third, fourth, etc. If you can afford the ongoing additional yearly expense, then by all means give her a personal gift. Since they're married, it should be an anniversary gift to them as a married couple.
On the other hand, if you don't want to set up the kind of commitment that will have to be repeated annually, simply send them a card or invite them out for brunch or dinner—although not for the actual date. It's the thought—remembering—that counts; sending a card, followed up by an email or phone call shows that you're thinking of them. Many new parents-in-law give the couple a gift certificate to a swell restaurant where they can celebrate their one year anniversary over a romantic dinner. ~Didi
Dear Didi,
There is a widow in our church whom we on the vestry think has Alzheimer's disease and is in need of care, but we don't know how to go about helping her get it. We feel her dementia has gotten more serious. She has a son in another state and we're wondering if we should approach him because we don't think he knows what's going on. She lives alone and recently had one fire in her kitchen that we know of. Jack, Tiverton
Dear Jack,
It would be better if your minister talked to the widow to gently assess the situation and ask her permission to speak to her son. Tread lightly because she may be in fear of losing her driver's license and thereby a certain amount of freedom. In many states physicians are required to report all newly diagnosed Alzheimer's patients so the DMV would be notified and her license revoked.
Also, there is the ethical question: Would she want to know just how badly off her dementia is? Some of us would want to know because we would need to make plans and put our papers in order. According to recent studies, others of us apparently don't want to know, and shouldn't: The knowledge could cause them to spiral down into a deep depression. It's still not clear whether knowing about an Alzheimer's diagnosis benefits the person with the disease. If the widow thinks her wiring is a little off, then she'll probably welcome giving the minister permission to talk to her son about getting her a proper diagnosis and assistant care. Go gently from there. ~Didi
Dear Didi,
Maybe it's the heat but coworkers seem extremely disagreeable and argumentative despite having climate control in the workplace. What is the polite way to stop arguing when it goes on and on? It's more bothersome than the heat. Sapphire, Providence
Dear Sapphire,
Usually, by simply saying, "Let's agree to disagree," you can end the conversation. If the person continues, then say it again, "Okay, we don't agree, but let's agree that it's all right to disagree." If they don't get it the second time, then walk away because they aren't listening to what you're saying. Sometimes it's an ego thing, in which the person has to have the last word. Walk away before they have the opportunity. Of course on the phone, one can always say, "I have to take another call." Obviously in an important meeting, one doesn't walk out. Then it's up to you to change the subject by saying, "Let's move on to another topic." ~Didi

How to Clean Porcelain Coated Grill Grates
I have been asked a lot about cleaning this type of grill grate, while instructions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer they are basically the same. I have been told that one manufacturers instructions calls for cleaning your grids with only soap and water, I believe that that is a little extreme.
(Legal disclaimer) Always follow your grills manufacturers instructions for cleaning your grills grates and ignore the paragraphs that follow.
The reason that grill grids are coated with porcelain is supposedly to make them easy to clean. I have found that this is not the case with the lower end grates found on inexpensive grills, the porcelain coating is just there to cover up poorly made cast iron. In the case of porcelain coated cast iron it will give you the cleanup of porcelain while providing the even heat of a cast iron grate. Untreated cast iron grates are rust prone and need to be oiled on a regular basis and the porcelain coating stops the need for that.
Most manufactures recommend use of a brass bristled grill brush or a plastic scrubber type brush, because they are soft. A lot of grill brush manufacturers are doing away with brass bristles and going to a stainless steel bristle, these will work just as well but they are stiffer then the brass. Softer bristles are recommended so you do not scratch or nick the porcelain coating. You are better off trying to minimize the scrubbing and pressure you put onto your brush when scrubbing the grates. You can do this by cleaning your grates while they are hot, immediately after cooking is best, do not attempt this with a non-metallic scrubber brush it will melt. If you have a heavy accumulation of gunk (let's say barbecue sauce on your grates) wet the grill brush before scrubbing or try some crumpled up tin foil .
Never use the scraper end of a grill bush on porcelain coated grates
All this is to prevent damage to the porcelain coating. However if your coating becomes damaged odds are that it was probably done with your metal spatula or a grease flare-up and not your grill brush. If your porcelain coated grates look rusted inspect them carefully, chances are the porcelain coating has chipped away. If this is the case replace the grid before your next use.
To prevent damage manufactures should but recommend the use of silicone coated grill tools with these grates. However silicone is only heat resistant up to 500 degrees and a decent grill nowadays will exceed 800, so they would melt rather quickly.
Here is the grill brush that complies with most manufacturers recommendations and that we have found to be the most effective at cleaning this type of grill grate. The spiral bristle design on this brush just seems to be more better then a flat brass brush head on the triangular surface of most porcelain grates.
In conclusion just try to be as gentle as possible on your grill grates and they will be fine.

AMD's Six-Core Phenom II X6 1090T & 1055T Reviewedby Anand Lal Shimpi on April 27, 2010 12:26 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
- Phenom II X6
Final Words
Today's conclusion is no different than what we've been saying about AMD's CPU lineup for several months now. If you're running applications that are well threaded and you're looking to improve performance in them, AMD generally offers you better performance for the same money as Intel. It all boils down to AMD selling you more cores than Intel at the same price point.
Applications like video encoding and offline 3D rendering show the real strengths of the Phenom II X6. And thanks to Turbo Core, you don't give up any performance in less threaded applications compared to a Phenom II X4. The 1090T can easily trump the Core i7 860 and the 1055T can do even better against the Core i5 750.
You start running into problems when you look at lightly threaded applications or mixed workloads that aren't always stressing all six cores. In these situations Intel's quad-core Lynnfield processors (Core i5 700 series and Core i7 800 series) are better buys. They give you better performance in these light or mixed workload scenarios, not to mention lower overall power consumption.
The better way to look at it is to ask yourself what sort of machine you're building. If you're building a task specific box that will mostly run heavily threaded applications, AMD will sell you nearly a billion transistors for under $300 and you can't go wrong. If it's a more general purpose machine that you're assembling, Lynnfield seems like a better option.

Rick83 - Tuesday, April 27, 2010 - linkthere's also an "i7 670" in one of the charts on the first pages, which should clearly be an i5. Reply
msc_chandu - Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - linknm refers to nano-meter and 65nm is a technology node. So, the processor manufacturing has been rolling down. For example, 250nm to 130nm to 90nm to 65nm to 55nm etc...
It is not a typo and was mentioned correctly. :) Reply
DaCentaur - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkChandu naanna, if you take a look at the context, i.e. the sentences before and after the "wrong" sentence, you should be able to understand why it should be "W" instead of "nm".
"High end desktop CPUs now spend their days bumping up against 125 - 140W limits. While mainstream CPUs are down at 65W. Mobile CPUs are generally below 35W. These TDP limits become a problem as you scale up clock speed or core count."

pow123 - Wednesday, May 05, 2010 - linkYou would have to be insane to pay $1000 for a chip that may be good for gaming. at $199 with slightly lower performance its a no brainer. When I build a system, I don't care if the frame rates etc is 10 to 15% better. Who cares ; the chip is fast and I have not problems playing high end games. I have no special setup and it does everything that my friends I7 can do. Good for me I get more pc for the buck . Go ahead and go broke buying just a motherboard and cpu when I can get a modern motherboard a cpu, 6gigs of ddr3 1600, a 1tb hd and a dvdrw. More for me. Reply
abd-jbr - Friday, June 18, 2010 - linki compared intel and AMD from almost AMD start ( K6 II ) CPU , i believe that AMD did not change their Policy much : they still offer more for less , with one different , in that time the market was also different from today , now a days , you can easly found all the hardware you need and it's compatible and works with AMD ,
it's accurate Say : it's not about absolute Perf , it's about pref at a given price
and in this , i think AMD wins . Reply

LAMPASAS — Taking care of animals is close to Glo Anders' heart. Whenever residents dump their dogs along the side of the road, or surrender a pet to the Lampasas Animal Shelter because it's not potty-trained, Anders' heart breaks.
"They abandon their pets without realizing this poor dog has been with you for a year," said Anders, president of the Friends of the Lampasas Animal Shelter. "It trusts you. It thinks that you are its momma or daddy and all of a sudden you're gone and the poor little thing is at the shelter. If it's lucky, we can find a home, but a lot of them aren't so lucky."
Anders helped organize the first Paws for a Cause Dog Walk fundraising event Saturday in W.M. Brook Park. The shelter partnered with Walmart to host the event.
"Most of the people who come to an event like this love their animals and are already taking care of their animals," Anders said. "But there's some who don't realize how important it is to spay and neuter and that (Lampasas has) a shelter they can donate to."
About 50 dogs, many of which were adopted from the shelter, and their owners participated in a dog walk.
In addition to fundraising, Kasey Dressell, shelter director, said the event helped educate residents.
"A lot of people surrender their dogs for reasons that could have been completely avoided," she said. "Like spaying or training."
Anders said the shelter, which is home to about 50 adoptable animals, works hard to find permanent homes for its animals.
"Some people don't realize that you adopt a dog or cat and it's yours forever. You should keep it forever," she said. "If you want a dog, go to the shelter. Don't go to a pet store."
Anders said it was a plus to have the event in April, during national Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month.
Josh Ivie and Ashly Irby adopted Abigail, a miniature schnauzer, from the shelter a month ago.
"We like to support spay and neutering, and getting animals from shelter and not from breeders," Ivie said. "There's a lot of dogs that need to be adopted."

Stolen mowers, tractor recovered
Houston County Courier
By Lynda Jones
Thieves that struck Fish and Still Equipment and Houston County Equipment, both located on Loop 304 in Crockett, kept law enforcement officers across three counties busy Thursday night, July 11, and Friday morning, July 12. With assistance from observant citizens and interagency cooperation, two John Deere Zero Turn mowers stolen Thursday night, July 11, from Fish and Still Equipment were recovered and two Trinity men were arrested, Crockett Police Department Chief David Cross reported. Cross issued a press release Friday afternoon, July 12, stating a witness observed the theft from the Fish and Still Equipment location on East Loop 304 in Crockett. "A witness spotted the suspect's vehicle exiting near the business with the two mowers loaded on a trailer and felt that it was suspicious at this time of night," Cross stated. "The witness contacted the police and followed the vehicle outbound on Hwy. 19 South and lost sight of the vehicle." Cross continued, "Officers from Crockett Police Department headed south on Hwy. 19 in an attempt to catch up with the vehicle. "Another witness spotted the suspect vehicle turning southwest onto FM 230 off Hwy 19 South. "The suspects must have felt that they were being followed and they dumped the two mowers on the side of the road approximately two miles southwest of Lovelady on FM 230." Cross stated Houston County Sheriff's Office Deputy Lorenzo Simpson later located the two Zero Turn Mowers two miles southwest of Lovelady on FM 230 where the suspect allegedly attempted to dump and hide them near the main road. "Trinity County authorities were contacted to set up and watch for the suspect vehicle. A local State Trooper spotted the vehicle on FM 230 near the Walker/ Trinity County line and made a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle," Cross reported. According to Cross, Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace arrived at about the same time. "The two male suspects were questioned and evidence was gathered from their vehicle and trailer and they were arrested for Felony Theft," Cross stated Investigators also located a .45 caliber handgun inside of the vehicle, Cross reported. Cross, CPD Investigator Alfredo Fajardo and CPD Detective Jarrod Vickers located and collected evidence from the two mowers. "This evidence was compared to evidence from the crime scene and from the location that the mowers were recovered. The mowers were then turned over to an employee with Fish and Still," Cross stated. Cody D. Wade, 23, W/M of Trinity, and Michael E. Miracle, 49, W/M of Trinity, were booked into the Houston County Jail on charges of Third Degree Felony Theft for allegedly stealing the two Zero Turn Lawn Mowers from the Crockett John Deere dealership. "Wade was also charged with Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon, a Class A Misdemeanor." Cross stated. "The suspect vehicle, a 2004 Ford F-250, and the trailer were impounded and seizure paperwork was filed since they were used in the commission of a felony." Also on Thursday night, Houston County Equipment reported a 16-foot utility trailer and a Kubota tractor were stolen. "The suspect who stole this mower wrecked the truck he was driving in San Jacinto County and fled on foot at 3 a.m. this morning (Friday, July 12)," Cross reported. The suspect in this case evaded San Jacinto County law enforcement officials and is described as a tall white male, according to Cross. The Kubota tractor and trailer were recovered and will be returned to Houston County Equipment after they are processed for evidence. "These investigations continue as evidence is being processed and will be sent to the crime lab for comparison analysis," Cross stated.

Move server from SUSE E10 to Slackware 12.2
The time is right now - I'm going to move my server from SUSE Enterprise to Slackware. It is not about that I don't like SUSE, I just like Slackware more.
The main job will be the mail server - I did use postfix and cyrus imap in SUSE with maildirs. Now, I will use Sendmail with imapd and mailboxes. And I want to save my old mails of course. Actually, I will move one old Slackware server to this new as well (up to 40 mailboxes).
There is also difference in the secured smtp and IMAP I used before - in SUSE I used TLS and in Slackware SSL (stunnel). Some of the MUA on the client side I will have to reconfigure.
When I started up my first Slackware server, I did things in which I was not sure that they are done well. And so I started this thread, where I will write the steps that I make.
Please if anybody sees something that is not "how it should be", please comment it. I have the complete weekend (two days) to do this work so I will write continuously the progress.
1. Step
The first step is the setup of the new Slackware 12.2 to my old hardware with two new SATA hard drives. These hard drives will be in RAID 1 - software mirroring.
I created my partitions on /dev/sda - sda1 - 78 GB and sda2 - 2 GB (the swap).
I created my partitions on /dev/sdb - sdb1 - 78 GB and sdb2 - 2 GB (the swap).
I created the /dev/md0 device with
I used ext3 file system. (If reiserFS or ext2 is better I will use it)
I didn't create any other partitions, I put the complete file system to md0. If there is any reason to put some directories (/boot,/var for example) to separate partitions, please tell - I am ready to do the partitioning process from the beginning again.
Now I start the setup. I will do the default setup process, with all the packages offered. Later, when everything will work, I want to remove any unnecessary package. Optionally recompile the kernel to fit exactly to my hardware.
lets start...
Added 8.8.2009 21:14:
I moved the SUSE server to slackware. I convert the maildirs to mailboxes. I made a oldmails imap folder from which I just moved the mail (by thunderbird) to the inbox.
Now I have my old mails on Slackware.
I created encryption certificates for sendmail and used stunnel for imapd.
I enabled spam blocking by dnsbl.
Used clamav to scan attachments.
The packages I used for my server are now only the necessary applications. Here is the list:
Package group [A]
If anybody sees any unneeded package please write.
For more info about packages:
Good luck ...
Thanks for the write up, let's hope others find it useful.
One suggestion: put the package list in a "Code:" block (or even a pastebin), not a "Quote:" -- it will save space.

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Cleanser Reviews
Review subjectThis is a great product. my daughter uses it, and has had good results. The price (compared) is good as well. — 6 years, 3 months agoMissPurple | 611 reviews
not for those with any level of sensitivityI used this along with the Advantage moisturizer. I had to return them because my face got so irritated. My skin constantly felt like it was being pricked by needles even long after washing and moisturizing my face. I'm sure those with moderate to severe acne would find this product helpful.

10% Benzoyl Peroxide - More powerful than Proactive's Cleanser!I used to use the Proactive trio, but after a while I had no acne so I figured I would stop paying so much and switch to a cheaper face care trio. This didn't work, and I had a face full of acne within months. After trying everything under the sun including good brand products like Wexler and Philosophy, I read every label on every acne cleanser on the shelf at Walmart, and saw this cleanser had...read more a whopping 10% benzoyl peroxide! I know this ingredient works for acne so I bought this. Not all my acne is gone, but pretty dang close! I love this stuff. My only complaint is that it has no subbing effect whatsoever, — 7 years, 7 months ago_brittneyleigh_ | 24 reviews

This really works wellI love this facial wash. I'm sensitive to benzoil peroxide, but for some reason this doesn't bother me. I love the smell too. It makes your face tingle! And it's not overpriced. — 8 years, 11 months agodoreen368 | 16 reviews
good summer cleanserreally like this facewash. It's a little harsh to use every day once the weather gets dry though... it definately gets rid of all my breakouts over the summer. — 9 years, 2 months agosunnyside216 | 2 reviews
not so goodThe price is good, but I did not see any real results. It kept my acne to the same minimum that normal face washing does, but it did not clear up the acne I have which is adult acne. I am 33 years old. Maybe it is geared towards a younger crowd.... — 9 years, 3 months agoleeanne | 1 reviews
Be careful!I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. While it felt great going on initially it started to burn after a few seconds. I immediately washed it off but my face was red (like a severe sunburn red) for a few days after using this. I definitely don't recommend this for anyone with sensitive skin! — 9 years, 3 months agocute_lil_bmw | 1 reviews

Silky smooth skinI love this product! Not only did this make my face as smooth as a baby's bottom (even with my makeup on top of it), but it also helped clear my skin up.

Before you dread another serving of plain steamed broccoli for dinner, try a new way to eat your greens. You can incorporate these veggies from your breakfast glass to the dinner plate and enjoy every second of it. Which meal will you switch up next? Here's how to incorporate more greens into your diet.
Stir them into soup. Next time your broth begins to simmer, throw washed spinach or kale in with it. The heat will cook the leaves like a steamer does, and you won't have to sauté your vegetables with cholesterol-heavy butter or oils. This is healthier and more time efficient as well.
Slip greens into your chicken breast. Surprise your tasters by embedding leafy greens into your chicken breast. Before cooking the chicken, make a tiny incision on the side of the breast like a pocket, and fill the pouch with light cheese or honey mustard…

GRANT statement allows you to create MariaDB user accounts and to grant
privileges (or roles - see section below) to accounts. To use
GRANT, you must have the
privilege, and you must have the privileges that you are granting.
If the NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER SQL_MODE is set, users can only be created with a CREATE USER statement. In this case
GRANT will produce an error when the specified user does not exist.
The user argument and the
IDENTIFIED BY clause are the same as for
CREATE USER statement. If the user account does not yet
exist, it will be implicitly created. You must have the privileges needed for the
statement to implicitly create a user with
GRANT. If the user account does exist
and you provide the
IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user's password will be changed. By specifying the
IDENTIFIED VIA|WITH clause, the existing user account's password will be be set using the specified plugin. Some plugins require a

Privilege Levels
Privileges can be set globally, for an entire database, for a table or routine, or for individual columns in a table. Certain privileges can only be set at certain levels.
- Global privileges are granted using
*.*for priv_level. Global privileges include privileges to administer the database and manage user accounts, as well as privileges for all tables, functions, and procedures. Global privileges are stored in the mysql.user table.
- Database privileges are granted using
db_name.*for priv_level, or using just
*to use default database. Database privileges include privileges to create tables and functions, as well as privileges for all tables, functions, and procedures in the database. Database privileges are stored in the mysql.db table.
- Table privileges are granted using
db_name.tbl_namefor priv_level, or using just
tbl_nameto specify a table in the default database. The
TABLEkeyword is optional. Table privileges include the ability to select and change data in the table. Certain table privileges can be granted for individual columns.
- Column privileges are granted by specifying a table for priv_level and providing a column list after the privilege type. They allow you to control exactly which columns in a table users can select and change.
- Function privileges are granted using
FUNCTION db_name.routine_namefor priv_level, or using just
FUNCTION routine_nameto specify a function in the default database.
- Procedure privileges are granted using
PROCEDURE db_name.routine_namefor priv_level, or using just
PROCEDURE routine_nameto specify a procedure in the default database.
USAGE Privilege
USAGE privilege grants no real privileges. The
statement will show a global
USAGE privilege for a newly-created user. You
can use
USAGE with the
GRANT statement to change options like
MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS without changing any account privileges.
ALL PRIVILEGES Privilege
ALL PRIVILEGES privilege grants all available privileges. Granting all
privileges only affects the given privilege level. For example, granting all
privileges on a table does not grant any privileges on the database or globally.
ALL PRIVILEGES does not grant the special
GRANT OPTION privilege.
You can use
ALL instead of
GRANT OPTION Privilege
Use the
WITH GRANT OPTION clause to give users the ability to grant privileges
to other users at the given privilege level. Users with the
GRANT OPTION privilege can
only grant privileges they have. They cannot grant privileges at a higher privilege level than
they have the
GRANT OPTION privilege.
GRANT OPTION privilege cannot be set for individual columns.
If you use
WITH GRANT OPTION when specifying column privileges,
GRANT OPTION privilege will be granted for the entire table.
Using the
WITH GRANT OPTION clause is equivalent to listing
as a privilege.
Global Privileges
The following table lists the privileges that can be granted globally. You can also grant all database, table, and function privileges globally. When granted globally, these privileges apply to all databases, tables, or functions, including those created later.
To set a global privilege, use
*.* for priv_level.
|Create a user using the
CREATE USER statement, or implicitly create a user with the
GRANT statement.
|Read and write files on the server, using statements like
LOAD DATA INFILE or functions like LOAD_FILE(). Also needed to create CONNECT outward tables. MariaDB server must have the permissions to access those files.
|Grant global privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
|Show information about the active processes, via SHOW PROCESSLIST or mysqladmin processlist.
FLUSH statements or equivalent
mysqladmin commands.
|Execute SHOW MASTER STATUS and SHOW SLAVE STATUS informative statements.
|Accounts used by slave servers on the master need this privilege. This is needed to get the updates made on the master.
|List all databases using the
SHOW DATABASES statement. Without the
SHOW DATABASES privilege, you can still issue the
SHOW DATABASES statement, but it will only list databases containing tables on which you have privileges.
|Shut down the server using SHUTDOWN or the
mysqladmin shutdown command.
|Execute superuser statements: CHANGE MASTER TO, KILL (users who do not have this privilege can only
KILL their own threads), PURGE LOGS, SET global system variables, or the mysqladmin debug command. Also, this permission allows the user to write data even if the read_only startup option is set, enable or disable logging, enable or disable replication on slaves, specify a
DEFINER for statements that support that clause, connect once after reaching the
MAX_CONNECTIONS. If a statement has been specified for the init-connect mysqld option, that command will not be executed when a user with
SUPER privileges connects to the server.
Database Privileges
The following table lists the privileges that can be granted at the database level. You can also grant all table and function privileges at the database level. Table and function privileges on a database apply to all tables or functions in that database, including those created later.
To set a privilege for a database, specify the database using
db_name.* for priv_level, or just use
to specify the default database.
|Create a database using the
CREATE DATABASE statement, when the privilege is granted for a database. You can grant the
CREATE privilege on databases that do not yet exist. This also grants the
CREATE privilege on all tables in the database.
|Create Stored Programs using the
CREATE PROCEDURE and
CREATE FUNCTION statements.
|Create temporary tables with the
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statement. This privilege enable writing and dropping those temporary tables
|Drop a database using the
DROP DATABASE statement, when the privilege is granted for a database. This also grants the
DROP privilege on all tables in the database.
|Create, drop and alter
EVENTs. Added in MySQL 5.1.6.
|Grant database privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
|Acquire explicit locks using the
LOCK TABLES statement; you also need to have the
SELECT privilege on a table, in order to lock it.
Table Privileges
|Change the structure of an existing table using the
ALTER TABLE statement.
|Create a table using the
CREATE TABLE statement. You can grant the
CREATE privilege on tables that do not yet exist.
|Create a view using the
CREATE_VIEW statement.
|Remove rows from a table using the
DELETE statement.
|Drop a table using the
DROP TABLE statement or a view using the
DROP VIEW statement.
|Grant table privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
|Create an index on a table using the
CREATE INDEX statement. Without the
INDEX privilege, you can still create indexes when creating a table using the
CREATE TABLE statement if the you have the
CREATE privilege, and you can create indexes using the
ALTER TABLE statement if you have the
ALTER privilege.
|Add rows to a table using the
INSERT statement. The
INSERT privilege can also be set on individual columns; see Column Privileges below for details.
|Read data from a table using the
SELECT statement. The
SELECT privilege can also be set on individual columns; see Column Privileges below for details.
|Show the
CREATE VIEW statement to create a view using the
SHOW CREATE VIEW statement.
|Execute triggers associated to tables you update, execute the
CREATE TRIGGER and
DROP TRIGGER statements. You will still be able to see triggers.
|Update existing rows in a table using the
UPDATE statement.
UPDATE statements usually include a
WHERE clause to update only certain rows. You must have
SELECT privileges on the table or the appropriate columns for the
WHERE clause. The
UPDATE privilege can also be set on individual columns; see Column Privileges below for details.
Column Privileges
Some table privileges can be set for individual columns of a table. To use column privileges, specify the table explicitly and provide a list of column names after the privilege type. For example, the following statement would allow the user to read the names and positions of employees, but not other information from the same table, such as salaries.
GRANT SELECT (name, position) on Employee to 'jeffrey'@'localhost';
INSERT (column_list)
|Add rows specifying values in columns using the
INSERT statement. If you only have column-level
INSERT privileges, you must specify the columns you are setting in the
INSERT statement. All other columns will be set to their default values, or
REFERENCES (column_list)
SELECT (column_list)
|Read values in columns using the
SELECT statement. You cannot access or query any columns for which you do not have
SELECT privileges, including in
GROUP BY, and
ORDER BY clauses.
UPDATE (column_list)
|Update values in columns of existing rows using the
UPDATE statement.
UPDATE statements usually include a
WHERE clause to update only certain rows. You must have
SELECT privileges on the table or the appropriate columns for the
WHERE clause.
Function Privileges
|Change the characteristics of a stored function using the
ALTER FUNCTION statement.
|Use a stored function. You need
SELECT privileges for any tables or columns accessed by the function.
|Grant function privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
Procedure Privileges
|Change the characteristics of a stored procedure using the
ALTER PROCEDURE statement.
|Execute a stored procedure using the
CALL statement. The privilege to call a procedure may allow you to perform actions you wouldn't otherwise be able to do, such as insert rows into a table.
|Grant procedure privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
Proxy Privileges
|Permits one user to be a proxy for another.
For example:
GRANT PROXY ON 'marijana'@'somehost' TO 'barrfhionn'@'somehost';
Setting per-account resources limits
It is possible to set a per-accout limit for the server resources that can be used. The following table shows the values that can be set per account:
|Limit Type
|Number of statements that the account can issue per hour (including updates)
|Number of updates (not queries) that the account can issue per hour
|Number of connections that the account can start per hour
|Number of simultaneous connections that can be accepted from the same account; if it is 0,
max_connections will be used instead; if
max_connections is 0, there is no limit for this account's simultaneous connections.
|Timeout, in seconds, for statements executed by the user. See also Aborting Statements that Exceed a Certain Time to Execute.
If value of 0 is set for any of these limits, the limit is removed.
To set resource limits for an account, if you do not want to change that account's privileges, you can issue a
GRANT statement with the
USAGE privilege, which has no meaning. The statement can name some or all limit types, in any order.
Here is an example showing how to set more than one limits:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'e.zapata'@'localhost' WITH MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0 MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 200;
The use of resource count is made per account, which means 'user'@'server'; not per user or per connection.
The count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH PRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.
Per account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the
mysql database. Columns used for resources limits are named
max_connections (for
MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR), and
max_user_connections (for
Per-Account SSL/TLS Options
By default, MariaDB uses unencrypted connections for all client/server communications. In order to use encrypted connections, OpenSSL or yaSSL must be present in your system. Also, the MariaDB server needs to be built with TLS support and be properly configured to use one of them. See Secure Connections Overview for more. The term SSL, although referring to the old, now insecure, protocol preceding TLS, is still used in many of the variable names and options for compatibility reasons although MariaDB only uses its more secure successors.
You can require TLS connections on a per-account basis, using the
REQUIRE clause. The following options are available:
|TLS is not required for this account, but can still be used.
|The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required.
|The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate.
REQUIRE ISSUER 'issuer'
|The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate Authority must be the one specified via the string
REQUIRE SUBJECT 'subject'
|The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the certificate's Subject must be the one specified via the string
REQUIRE CIPHER 'cipher'
|The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the encryption used for the connection must use one of the methods specified in the string
If you require a X509 certificate,
REQUIRE SSL is implicit. The
SUBJECT, and
CIPHER options can be combined together in any order, and if you use any of them
REQUIRE X509 is implicit.
REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the
AND keyword can be used to separate individual options (at your choice).
Here is an example:
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'someone'@'localhost' REQUIRE SUBJECT '/CN=www.mydom.com/O=My Dom, Inc./C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland' AND ISSUER '/C=FI/ST=Somewhere/L=City/ O=Some Company/CN=Peter email@example.com' AND CIPHER 'SHA-DES-CBC3-EDH-RSA';
Creating a new user who can do anything (like root):
CREATE USER 'alexander'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to 'alexander'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
MariaDB starting with 10.0.5
Roles were introduced in MariaDB 10.0.5.
GRANT role TO grantee [, grantee2 ... ] [ WITH ADMIN OPTION ]
The GRANT statement is also used to grant the use of one or more roles to one or more users. In order to be able to grant a role, the grantor doing so must have permission to do so (see WITH ADMIN in the CREATE ROLE article).
Specifying the
WITH ADMIN OPTION permits the grantee to in turn grant the role to another.
If a user has been granted a role, they do not automatically obtain all permissions associated with that role. These permissions are only in use when the user activates the role with the SET ROLE statement.
GRANT journalist TO hulda; GRANT journalist TO berengar WITH ADMIN OPTION;

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --
Initial public offerings in 2009 were a tale of two drastically different worlds. The year started at a snail's-pace for all the obvious reasons, with no deals whatsoever coming to market until February. Even then, a mere 14 IPOs were completed in the first half of the year. But by the fall, the market had regained speed. In particular, October and November were stellar months, both seeing double-digit deals. In terms of the sheer volume of IPOs, the fourth quarter alone is on track to beat the rest of the year combined. By the end of 2009, 63 companies had gone to market this year. That compared with 31 total deals in 2008. "We are now back to a normally functioning IPO market," says Bill Buhr, IPO strategist at Morningstar. (One interesting note: The top three IPOs of 2009, as measured by stock returns, came from China. This isn't surprising, considering that investors are looking for growth, says Eric Guja, research analyst at Renaissance Capital -- and China is, of course, where today's growth is.) Buhr says this momentum should extend into the New Year -- although any volatility in the markets could stymie deals. And although there are no blockbuster deals in the pipeline, there are many are solid companies. "These aren't sexy names," Tim Walker, industry expert at Hoover's, says. "They are coming to the market in a reasonable manner, at a fair price and are being bought at rational premiums." With this as a background, we present the Top Five IPOs of 2009, in terms of stock performance. Each merits attention moving into 2010 -- and offers insight to which new offerings might break-out in the coming year.

Hybrid shoes will be one of the keynote sneaker memories of the latter half of the decade, and this unreleased hybrid sample combining the Air Force 1 and Air Max 97 in a black colorway. A released version in the classic 'silver bullet' colorway was released but this tonal black leather version never made it beyond the cutting room floor. The midsole features a translucent window into the full-length Air Unit synonymous with the Air Max 97, with a tongue featuring the interlocking lace-holes and the Air Max 97 tongue face featuring an oval with a swoosh. So, would you have copped these if they released? Check out the extra shot after the jump and let us know what you think. via soonyou'llunderstand.

About Us
We are a small Woman Owned Business located in Wyoming. Even though our company is relatively small we draw on over 50 years of combined US Government sourcing experience.
Why We Are Different:
Sourcing parts through a search engine is problematic, especially Defense Department issued National Stock Numbers (NSN's), in that the majority of websites shown list just about every single NSN in existence in order to draw in web traffic - regardless of their ability to quote. Receiving a quote from these companies is a chance of about 1 in 50 in our experience. We are different in that we only list NSN's we have drawings for and sources that have manufactured it. By doing extensive research to locate the right vendors that make a broad range of items we do the hard work by creating relationships with our vendors.
If you are a machine shop / manufacturer and want to be listed here please click on Contact Us. We will gladly discuss how to work with us including how to transmit your inventory to us with a single line of code.

Like the art style for which it's named, Mosaic restaurant is a complicated creation, composed of many tiny details to form an elaborate whole. The result is a visual dazzler, from the restaurant's sleek interior design to its menu reading like a voyage around the world. Yet just like a mosaic, this upscale new eatery's beauty remains on the surface, small glittering chips that when pried away leave emptiness and an uninspired foundation.
All the elements for a first-class culinary portrait are there. The package is pretty, the plates appealing and the menu concept refreshing. Plus, Mosaic knows it niche, reigning over an under-served area flush with upper-income residents and resort visitors who will pay $28 for a petite portion of chicken with preserved lemon, cracked green olives and saffron rice (the Four Seasons is just down the street).
Yet there's been little turnout for this gourmet gallery showing. Since opening in July, Mosaic's primary customers have been other local chefs, with our top names spotted prowling the restaurant, sniffing suspiciously around its luxe environs while trying to figure out how the place will fit into our highly competitive collection of high-class eateries.
10600 East Jomax Road, Scottsdale
480-563-9600. Hours: Dinner daily, 4:30 to 11 p.m.
Five-spice roasted quail: $14
Muscovy duck breast: $12
Grilled asparagus salad: $10
Sake-steamed salmon: $26
Grilled rack of lamb: $32
Pork loin: $22
Angel food cake: $7
Perhaps the damp reception is partly because of Mosaic's summertime opening. Perhaps it's partly because of a soft economy going softer. Likely it's something less obvious, something that Mosaic is lacking. Call it the je ne sais quois that gives an independent eatery its heart and soul. Chalk it up to the love we're supposed to feel as soon as we pass the threshold. It's not there. In its infancy, Mosaic is almost too pretty, too stiff and too formulaic to be great art. What this place needs is some of the whimsy that makes a destination experience memorable: the distinctive stamp of a chef whose personality is every bit as important an ingredient as anything on the menu.
The chef-owner of Mosaic is Deborah Knight, yet we'd never know there was a single artist in residence. She's not a welcoming character at the front door, or a white-toqued spirit who stops by tables to schmooze (in fact, it's hard to get anyone's attention as we linger in the foyer). She's invisible on the menu, too, with no true signature dishes or hints that we're anywhere other than another classic resort restaurant or tony chain. Nothing gives us that feeling that makes a chef-owned restaurant so enthralling: that we're part of the dream. There's a vague feeling of déjà vu with many of the dishes and a feeling that Knight is holding back.
A graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, Knight trained at Scottsdale's former 8700 Restaurant and the Miraval Health and Wellness Spa in Tucson. Other stints have included a position as sous-chef at Colorado's Zagat-award-winning European Cafe, and a private catering business. Staff seemingly outnumber guests, including a sous chef, pastry chef, certified Sommelier and a manager well known in the Valley for his upscale affiliations.
There's some effort made at infusing unusual character in the decor: Mosaic showcases the creations of Valley artists on its cream-colored and white-block walls. Art's for sale, but in a friendly touch, Knight doesn't deduct commission. Design, including a dramatic mosaic logo embedded in the entry floor, is from Phoenix native Kathy Parks and Gay Cutter. And there's a trio floor plan designed to appeal to everyone, with a formal, Biltmore-reminiscent room lined with cherrywood wine cabinets; a more casual, airy dining salon; and a clubby barroom that begs to be populated by distinguished gents puffing on cigars. Yet the overall effect is cold, overly coordinated and almost unwelcoming.
The menu seduces like an all-out global orgy, with 30-plus dishes spread over four courses, plus three separate tasting menus (including vegetarian), but it fails to come together. Descriptions alone make me ravenous and restless: exotic mushroom terrine with lightly pickled wakame (Asian) sea vegetables, or grilled tenderloin of rabbit with sprouts-shoots salad, parsnip-carrot puree and roasted shallot vinaigrette. While dishes keep our attention through every precious bite, ultimately the anticipated spark fails to ignite. Note: "Precious"-dishes here are truly dainty. Unfortunately, they are without the boisterous character of other small-portioned offerings such as those served at Gregory's World Bistro and Vincent Guerithault on Camelback, and it's not uncommon to leave Mosaic vaguely unsatisfied after a three-course meal. Better, but expensive at $85, is the Mosaic tasting, which is five courses plus an intermezzo, and $30 extra for paired wines.
A welcoming platter of bread does make a fine first showing, featuring fat cubes of buttery garlic glistening on biscuit-like pillows, or wonderfully salty onion focaccia. Sometimes, the chef sends out an amuse -- perhaps a demitasse of gazpacho, a saucer of chilled avocado cream soup or an elfin dish of mandarin orange segments, purple onion curls and pickle sprinkled with dill in a tart olive-sherry dressing.
Some starters shine. Clever construction (it looks like a little Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired cabin of crisscrossed Lincoln Logs) makes for a fun cold white asparagus salad. The tidy pile comes sprinkled with chopped red and yellow bell peppers, red and yellow micro-cherry tomatoes, field greens and a splash of fiery harissa (red chile) vinaigrette that eats into the core of the asparagus spears.
Smoked salmon and sturgeon also spark visual interest, with a burrito-like bundling of cucumber slivers. It's tucked alongside red ginger, a vinegary nest of daikon and carrot and brush strokes of heat-licking wasabi cream, and the flavors play nicely together. But the wrap's barely a few bites for $16.
Other appetizers come across as more paint-by-the-numbers: sugar-cane prawns are three hefty grilled shrimp on wooden skewers, but not terribly exciting under a sleepy tamarind glaze with chopped red pepper and mango over a miniature polenta cake. Five-spice quail is a one-dimensional canvas of dark, gamy bird on a muted pile of roasted pea shoots moistened with a spritz of cherry-toned hibiscus tea sauce. The curry coat in scallops has gone missing, the seafood tumbled over jasmine rice with a bouquet of Chinese long beans. And a butter lettuce salad is thoroughly average, tossed with mixed tomatoes, radish, chervil, mushrooms and cheese in a gutless mustard vinaigrette.
A first-course plate of duck is odd, the Muscovy breast fired to a good, meaty turn but overly complicated by a stir-fry of Chinese long beans and baby spinach plus macadamia nuts, quinoa and dots of mango-port coulis. This plate has more weird turns than a Picasso painting.
Entrees go more mainstream, strictly a meat-and-potato palette goosed with two slightly more abstract choices: grilled wild boar chop and seared loin of venison. Both game selections are excellent, varying slightly from menu descriptions when served as tasting courses. Whether stewed cranberry or strawberry rhubarb chutney, both make fine sides to peppery venison resting on wasabi mashed potatoes. And either barley timbale or Israeli couscous help out the admirably juicy boar.
A perfectly grilled tenderloin of beef is a top-notch cut gilded with smoked tomato chutney and paired with an earthy rich portabello and pleasant if predictable horseradish whipped potatoes. Pork loin also is remarkable, a fat cut capped by a crunchy coif of aromatic cardamom, almond and chopped apple over whipped potatoes, Chinese long beans and a sweet dice of cantaloupe and honeydew. If only there were more of these meats to love; a couple of ounces merely taunt our appetites.
Rack of lamb comes up short on portion size, too, and lacking much of the turbo-charged flavor of the promised garam masala (typically cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, black pepper, cloves, coriander and coconut). We've seen and tasted this dish many times before. A side of quinoa is smooth and nutty, but the menu description of dried fruit and pistachio couscous sounds much more compelling.
The salmon is another petite selection, sake-steamed in banana leaves with bok choy and quinoa on kaffir lime orange broth one evening; makrut lime and tomato broth another night. It's all good, but nothing surprises -- no electric flavors, no table-gripping spices, no toe-curling sauces to intrigue.

Desserts are comfort food, done up with just a bit of glam. Angel food cake is an airy classic, kissed with orange and drizzled with bittersweet chocolate sauce, while almond rum cake comes dressed with vanilla cream and dried cherry compote. Where are the bold strokes, the wild abandon?
Mosaic does pay attention to details: Intermezzos of exotic fruit sorbets are refreshing rests between courses, although redundant when we order the selection of sorbets as a dessert (a colorful watercolor in shades of honeydew, lemon and tangelo). Bottled water at no extra cost is classy, although damp linen towels would benefit from being warmed and/or scented.
Knight's got a good start on her craft. Certainly there's a strong audience for even this subdued food in such an elegant ambiance. To join the ranks of our true chef artists, though, she needs to toss on her beret and show some individual style with a couple of truly bold dishes. If Knight wants to go for baroque, she needs to go all the way.

It's The Taking Part That Counts is a charming musical Olympic tribute
Album review: It's The Taking Part That Counts is a fun filled collection of sports themed hits released just in time for the Olympics.
There will doubtless be other musical tributes to the Olympics, be they blandly triumphalist orchestral anthems or bombastic power ballads.
But none will be as charming as this two-CD collection, in which each of the 26 sports at the London Games are represented by a single track.
Some artists provide prospective TV themes, such as Saint Etienne's fine Fender Rhodes-led instrumental (Steeplechase) or White Town's stately techno hymn (Weightlifting).
Some are more metonymic, such as Darren Hayman's amusingly thuggish tribute to wrestling (Bundle!), Hannah Peel's reflection on a sadistic hockey teacher (The Bully) or the brittle electronica of The Leaf Library's Badminton House. Others are more literal, like Sool's perky Handball! or the bleepy Synthesized Swimming by Parenthesis.
It's too bitty to hang together but there's plenty of fun and games here.

For quite a while, modern art dealers have been whispering that the Cézanne Card Players (circa 1895) painting long owned by the late Greek shipping magnate George Embiricos had been sold for a princely sum, perhaps a total so large that it would be a new record for the sale of any single artwork, public or private, ever. Now Vanity Fair has published details of that rumored sale, naming a pricetag—$250 million—and a buyer—the Qatari royal family.
No one directly connected to the transaction is going on the record, but Alexandra Peers, a former editor at The Observer, reports that the sale has been confirmed by multiple sources, and relays a bit of alleged behind-the-scenes jockeying for the piece:
"Shortly before his death in the winter of 2011, Embiricos began discussions about its sale, which was handled by his estate. Two art dealers—William Acquavella and another, rumored to be Larry Gagosian—offered upward of $220 million for the painting, people close to the matter said. But the royal family of Qatar, without quibbling on price, outbid them, at $250 million."
Fine-art appraiser Victor Wiener helpfully notes that "$250 million is a fortune." Indeed, it very well may be the most money that has ever been handed over for a single work of art. But what a work! The last of the five Card Players paintings the Modernist master made, it is the only one not firmly ensconced in a museum, Ms. Peers notes. (The other four are at the Met, the d'Orsay in Paris, the Courtauld and the Barnes, soon to be in Philadelphia. No mean bunch.)
Given that the current auction record is a paltry $106.5 million, paid for a Picasso at Christie's in 2010, and that the record for a private deal is rumored to hover around $150 million, it seems likely that a stunning new record has been set, and that top-flight collectors looking to acquire the absolutely top pieces in private hands may need to dig deeper in the future.
How much, for instance, would a collector be willing to pay for Rembrandt's 1654 portrait of Jan Six? Back in 2003, in an ARTnews article that Vanity Fair refers to, a dealer floats an easy $150 million price tag. Experts in that same piece set the value of Card Players at just $100 million.

Check your kitchen pantry. Fructose is everywhere. Unless you've made special efforts to avoid it, your diet probably has many sources of fructose. And although it was once thought of as the healthy alternative to sugar, more and more the evidence suggests that fructose can be just as harmful as table sugar.
Just this last week, HSI Panelist Allan Spreen, M.D., sent me some new and important information with specific details about how fructose contributes to obesity, complicates diabetes, and even promotes the aging process.
In the past decade, the incidence of diabetes has increased by almost 50%, and during that same period the number of obese Americans jumped an additional 57%. In an e-Alert I sent you in September ("Sugar in the Morning, Sugar in the Evening" 9/4/02) I told you about these trends and how they continue to grow in the wrong direction with far-reaching health problems: hypertension, along with elevated blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, to name just a few.
A new review of nutritional data from the Department of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis, shows that America's consumption of fructose rose more than 25% between 1970 and 1997 – due primarily to its use in processed foods.
The UC team found that, in animal tests, fructose consumption contributes to insulin resistance, an impaired tolerance to glucose, high blood pressure, and elevated levels of triglycerides. And although the data in humans is not quite as conclusive as the animal trials, the researchers report that an increased intake of fructose may increase body weight and encourage insulin resistance – both of which, obviously, are risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
To the University of California research, Dr. Spreen added some comments about the "browning reaction." And I have to admit that I'd never heard of the browning reaction. Dr. Spreen explained it to me like this: "That's where certain carb molecules bind with proteins and cause aging. It's also called 'glycation', 'glycosylation', and sometimes the Maillard reaction. It changes the structure of enzymes and other proteins, resulting in tissue and organ damage (and it's suspected in organ damage particularly in diabetics)."
Dr. Spreen also noted that in addition to processed foods, we get fructose directly from fruit. The difference there is that whole fresh fruit has enough natural fiber, vitamins and minerals to inhibit the browning effect.
At HSI we've followed the pros and cons of fructose for some time now. Last year I sent you an e-Alert ("Fructose Allergy Could be Causing your Irritable Bowel Symptoms" 10/29/01) in which I told you about a University of Iowa study that demonstrated how an allergy to fructose might be responsible for many cases of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other unexplained gastrointestinal (GI) complaints. This is consistent with what alternative practitioners have been saying for years – and it could be very good news for people who suffer with this "incurable" condition.
To recap; in the UI study, doctors recruited 219 patients with unexplained upper GI symptoms – bloating, cramping, distension, diarrhea, and gas. More than 80 percent of the participants met the diagnostic criteria for irritable bowel syndrome – and nearly 80 percent of the same participants tested positive for fructose allergy.
In this study, fructose allergy was assessed using a breath test. This type of test checks for the presence of gases in the breath that are produced when fructose is not absorbed properly. To understand this, it might be easier to think of the condition as "fructose intolerance," or "fructose malabsorption" rather than an allergy.
If you suffer with irritable bowel syndrome, ask your doctor about taking a breath test. You may find that he isn't familiar with them – it isn't a widely used procedure. But more and more facilities are offering them and with a little research, you should be able to find a hospital or lab in your area. If not, you can try calling the American College for the Advancement of Medicine at 1-800-532-3688 to find a physician experienced in using alternative therapies.
If you find you do have a fructose allergy, you may finally find relief from the painful, inconvenient, and embarrassing symptoms of IBS by adopting a low-fructose diet. It may take some getting used to, but most IBS sufferers are more than willing to change their diet for the promise of a symptom-free life.
And even if you prove to be allergy free, there are numerous other reasons to limit your fructose intake, particularly from processed foods.
To Your Good Health,

Methodology Of Scenario Forecasting Of Russia'S Economic Development
The author argues that the Russian economy has unique features that make the application of standard macroeconomic models problematic. He supports the idea of developing new instruments of analysis and forecasting of social and economic development of the Russian economy. The proposed modelling complex is composed of a database and three models. The first model is elaborated for short term forecasting of basic macroeconomic indicators. The second model is a quarterly scenario forecasting of Russian economy in the medium run. The third model realizes forecasts of annual balances in the framework of the System of National Accounts. The forecasting exercises of the complex modelling are realised under two alternative scenario, an optimistic scenario and a pessimistic scenario.
