In a computer system having different memory address spaces, for example, user space and kernel space, a method and system is provided for communicating data. A data structure is defined in the kernel space to store data. The data structure is virtually mapped to an application in user space such that the application can access the data structure through virtual memory addresses. By directly accessing the data structure, data transfers between the address spaces using system calls and/or interrupts can be reduced.
1. A system for collecting performance data by an operating system that monitors a performance of one or more instructions executing on a computer system, the system comprising:
a data structure in an operating system address space of the computer system and maintained by the operating system for storing at least performance data of the one or more instructions collected by the operating system; and
a virtual memory mapping in the operating system address space that maps the data structure to a monitoring application executing in a user address space of the computer system allowing the monitoring application to read the performance data from the data structure without transferring the performance data to the user address space using a system interrupt.

18. A computer readable product stored on a computer readable medium comprising:
one or more first computer readable instructions that cause a computer to define a data structure within a kernel address space for storing data;
one or more computer readable instructions that cause the computer to virtually map the data structure to an application in a user address space allowing the application to directly read the data from the data structure in the kernel address space; and
one or more second computer readable instructions that cause the computer to define one or more control parameters associated with the data structure where communication handshaking is established between the kernel address space and the user address space by setting predetermined values for the one or more control parameters.
The invention relates to the operating system arts. It finds particular application to a method and system of communicating data. It will be appreciated that the present invention will find application in any type of computer and/or operating system.
An operating system (OS) is a set of programs which provide for the basic operation of a computer. The operating system is low-level software which, for example, schedules tasks, allocates storage, handles the interface to peripheral hardware, and presents a default interface to a user when no application program is running. The operating system also typically manages memory, controls hard and floppy disk drives, loads and executes programs, provides services to running programs, and provides the user with a means for inputting and outputting information.
The operating system may be split into a kernel and various system programs which use facilities provided by the kernel to perform higher-level house-keeping tasks, often acting as servers in a client-server relationship. The kernel is a program responsible for the machine level operation of the system and connections to hardware devices.
In certain operating systems, for example UNIX, the operating system and kernel have a designated memory address space for their use (e.g. kernel space) and user programs have a different designated memory address space for their use (e.g. user space). The two address spaces usually have different access privileges and protections associated with them. For example, the kernel space is restricted from access by user programs so that the user programs do not have an opportunity to intentionally or accidentally make changes to the kernel space memory that may cause system problems.
At certain times, information is needed to be passed between kernel space and user space. However, a simple memory copy from one location to another is not sufficient because you're dealing with two different address spaces. Rather, a system call is made that interrupts the system and changes system modes that allows data to be transferred from one address space to the other. There is a processing overhead involved with this data transfer operation which for certain executing applications may be detrimental to its performance.
An exemplary situation is when one application (e.g. a monitoring application) is monitoring and evaluating the performance of another application (e.g. a target application). Here, the operating system collects sample data for the monitoring application regarding the performance of the target application. Since the monitoring application executes in user space, system calls and/or interrupts are made in order to transfer data to or from the operating system.
Heavy-weight sampling is a term used to describe when the operating system transfers sample data to the monitoring application every time a sample is collected. Thus, a system call is made for every sample data. Light-weight sampling is a term used to describe when the operating system transfers sample data to the monitoring application after a pre-selected number of samples are collected. Thus, light-weight sampling reduces the number of system calls but when a data transfer is made, a larger amount of data is passed which may itself take additional system resources and time to perform.
The present invention provides a new and useful method and system of transferring data that addresses the above problems.
In one embodiment, a system of communicating between a kernel and an application in user space is provided. It includes a data structure that is maintained by the kernel for storing data and is virtually addressed to the application. One or more parameters are associated to the data structure that represent one or more pre-determined communications where the kernel and the application communicate by changing the one or more parameters to reduce communication by system calls.
In accordance with another embodiment, a data structure is maintained by an operating system for storing data. A virtual memory mapping maps the data structure to an application allowing it to read the data without transferring the data using a system interrupt.
In the accompanying drawings which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, embodiments of the invention are illustrated, which, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to example embodiments of the system and method.
The following includes definitions of exemplary terms used throughout the disclosure. Both singular and plural forms of all terms fall within each meaning:
�Signal�, as used herein, includes but is not limited to one or more electrical signals, analog or digital signals, one or more computer instructions, a bit or bit stream, or the like.
�Software�, as used herein, includes but is not limited to one or more computer readable and/or executable instructions, routines, algorithms, modules or programs including separate applications or code from dynamically linked libraries for performing functions and actions as described herein. Software may also be implemented in various forms such as a stand-alone program, a function call, a servlet, an applet, instructions stored in a memory, part of an operating system or other type of executable instructions. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that the form of software is dependent on, for example, requirements of a desired application, the environment it runs on, and/or the desires of a designer/programmer or the like.
�Logic�, as used herein, includes but is not limited to hardware, firmware, software and/or combinations of each to perform a function(s) or an action(s), and/or to cause a function or action from another component. For example, based on a desired application or needs, logic may include a software controlled microprocessor, discrete logic such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or other programmed logic device. Logic may also be fully embodied as software.
Illustrated in
For exemplary purposes, the foregoing discussion will be described in the context of a generic software application 100 that is executing in the user space. During its execution, the application 100 wishes to receive data that is collected and/or generated by a system-level component, for example, system component 105. The system component 105 may be the kernel, another system-level program, a software function(s) running as part of the operating system, a hardware device performing system-level operations, or a combination of components.
To store the data, a data structure 110 is defined in a physical address memory 115 in the kernel space. Examples of the data structure 110 may include one or more memory locations, registers, counters, data arrays, databases, other types of data structures, and/or combinations of these. In a simple form, the data structure 110 is a data buffer in the physical memory 115. The system component 115 has the physical memory addresses of the data structure mapped 117 and allocated to it along with certain assigned access rights/permissions. The access rights may include, for example, read, write, execute, delete, etc. The memory mapping 117 may be implemented as virtually memory addressing, physical memory addressing or a combination of each.
To allow the application 100 to access the data structure 110, a virtual memory mapping 120 virtually maps the data structure 110 to the user application 100 thereby making a double mapping of the kernel space physical memory, one mapping to the user address space of the application 100 and the other mapping to the system component 105 in the kernel space. With this configuration, both the application 100 and the system component 115 look at the same locations in physical memory 110 but do so using different memory addresses.
To be able to access the data structure 110, the application 100 may be given pre-determined access rights or permissions. For example, the application 100 may be given �read� access in order to read data from the data structure 110 and not be given �write� access so that the application 100 cannot intentionally or accidentally overwrite or otherwise corrupt data with the data structure. Of course, write access and other permissions can be granted to the application 100 as well as different levels of access depending on the purpose of the data structure 105 and/or desires of the system. Access rights may also be assigned differently to different portions of the data structure 110. For example, the application 100 may be allowed to write data to limited portions of the data structure 110 but can read data from all portions.
When data is loaded into the data structure 110 by the system component 105, the operating system does not have to physically transfer the data across the memory spaces because the application 100 has access to the data structure 110 using the virtual memory addressing 120. Thus, the application 100 can read the data out from the data structure 110 with a memory access. Thus, a data transfer using a system call or interrupt can be avoided. By mapping the same portion of physical memory 115 into two separate address spaces, the system can communicate data between the user space layer and the kernel space layer by a memory access instead of copying the data across the layers using a system call and/or interrupt. Likewise, the application 100, if given write privileges can write data to the data structure 110 which can then be read by the system component 105. In this manner, as described in greater detail below, instructions and other communications can be passed between address spaces without a system call.

With reference to
In this regard, certain access rights or privileges are assigned to the user application (block 215) so that the data structure becomes a common/shared memory with the system component. For example, the access rights may include read access that allows the user application to read data from the data structure (block 220). With this configuration, the system component can store data in the data structure and the user application can read the data with a memory access. Thus, data can be passed between the user address space and the kernel address space through the common data structure without using a system call and/or interrupt to perform a physical data transfer.
In one embodiment, the illustrated methodology may be embodied as a computer readable product that includes one or more computer readable instructions that cause a computer to respond and/or act in the manner described. The computer readable product may be stored on any computer readable medium such as a data storage device, internal memory or a combination of both. These may include magnetic devices, optical devices, digital devices, electronic memory, or other type of data/memory device.
With reference again to
Illustrated in
Since user applications, such as the monitoring application 305, typically do not have appropriate permissions to access system-level data, performance monitoring typically involves one or more system-level components to collect performance data and/or parameters of the executing target application 300. The performance data is then passed to the monitoring application 305. In this embodiment, a performance monitoring unit 310 represents the system-level component(s) that collects performance sample data at the system-level. The monitoring unit 310 may be embodied as software that is part of or called by the operating system, embodied as a hardware component, or a combination of both.
For example, in the Itanium processor made by Intel, the processor includes an embedded performance monitoring unit. The Itanium also contains several registers dedicated to monitoring processor performance. Information such as the number of instructions performed can be tracked and stored. As will be described, the monitoring application 305 can access the data thus making it possible to write performance monitoring software that could have a reduced impact on system performance while monitoring is being performed. For example, hardware performance counters can exist as a small set of registers that count events, which are occurrences of specific signals related to a processor's function relating to the execution of the target application 300. Monitoring these events has a variety of uses in application performance analysis and tuning.
To initiate performance monitoring, one or more system calls can be made to the performance monitoring unit 310 instructing it to configure and begin monitoring. In the HP-UX operating system, for example, a PERFMON system call is used from the monitoring application 305 which instructs the system to allocate and configure memory for use in performance monitoring. It will be appreciated that there are other ways to initiate performance monitoring which can be accomplished by programming instructions into the code of the monitoring application 305 which will depend on the programming language used and the computer environment it runs in.
With further reference to
Regarding the communication protocol mentioned previously, in this embodiment, a control buffer 330 is defined to effect the communication protocol between the performance monitoring unit 310 and the monitoring application 305. The control buffer 330 is associated with the data structure 315 by being defined within the data structure and/or may be a separate portion of the physical memory 320. The control buffer 330 includes for example one or more control parameters and/or other types of information that can be set to represent pre-defined conditions, messages, instructions, and/or other types of communication information that have pre-determined meanings.
The control parameters may be defined to include one or more bits, counters, registers, memory locations, and/or other types of data structures that have changeable values. By reading these values from the control buffer 330, the monitoring application 305 and the operating system can communicate information between the kernel space and the user space without a system call. For example, setting certain parameters can be used to control handshaking so that desired events or actions can be synchronized. It will be appreciated that the control buffer 330 may be embodied as a header to the data structure 315 and is also virtually mapped to the monitoring application 305 such that it is a common buffer. It will also be appreciated that the system, when embodied as a computer readable product includes one or more computer readable instructions that cause a computer to define the control buffer and the one or more control parameters associated with it.
Illustrated in
Other types of flags, conditions, and/or instructions can be pre-defined in the control buffer 330. For example, the control buffer 330 can include a frame entries counter 405 that indicates the number of frames stored in the data structure 330. Each time sample data is loaded into the data structure, the frame entries counter 405 is incremented. A status field 410 may be included with pre-defined values for various status conditions. A user field 415 can be defined for use by the monitoring application 305, for example, that sets values indicating that it is reading from the data structure 315 so that the performance monitoring unit 310 knows not to write data until the monitoring application releases the buffer. A sampling stopped flag 420 can be used to indicate that the monitoring unit 310 has stopped sampling, thus, the monitoring application 305 can read from the data structure although the data structure may not be full.
With further reference to
With this configuration, information and other instructions can be passed therebetween by using ordinary memory access rather than a system call. This includes configuring the parameters to control handshaking between the kernel and the monitoring application 305. Thus, depending on the values of the parameters, the monitoring application can know whether or not to take certain actions that the operating system wants it to take or not take, or vise versa. Of course, both the operating system and the user application need to know the meaning of each parameter and their possible values. In one embodiment, a master file containing this information may be stored in memory and/or in persistent storage, and values can be compared to the master file to determine their meaning.
With reference again to
Additionally, an overflow data structure 340 may be allocated in physical memory 320 as an overflow buffer. When the data structure 315 becomes full, the full flag 400 can be set. However, data collection may still continue before the monitoring application 305 reads out the data and releases the data structure 315. In this case the performance monitoring unit 310 can begin loading the performance data into the overflow data structure 340.
While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicants to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention, in its broader aspects, is not limited to the specific details, the representative apparatus, and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the spirit or scope of the applicant's general inventive concept.

Dealing with moldy corn woes
Recently there have been numerous reports of "moldy corn" across Minnesota. The late harvest, high moisture corn, and continuing wet conditions have contributed to this problem.
At least two main questions should be considered. Are the problems at this point significant ear and kernel rots that are damaging the kernels, or is the problem primarily superficial growth of fungi on the grain surfaces?

So I was going to make a Berliner weisse, which turned into I'm going to make a super funky sour wheat. My plan was, and what I have done so far, chill wort to 75-80, and lactobisllious, hold at 80 for two days then add Brett. Let the Brett work for a few weeks then add the wlp Belgian sour mix and maybe some dregs from a Russian river sour to add to the funky bug mix. Well when I just went to unplug the heater to let it cool to the 70 range do I could add the Brett here is what I saw, thoughts? Smell from the air lock is very "bready", let the krausen drop then add Brett and continue as planned, add the Brett now to help compete with whatever yeast got it going?
what lacto did you add?
"i like to drink. I do it all the time, every day."- anthony jeselnik
I just did a wit in that manner. Pitch lacto only let it go for three days and about 100F. Mine started to smell wretched though. The smell has basically disappeared, and I think bottle conditioning will rid the beer of the rest of the smell/taste.
Going through life is hard.
Going through life stupid is harder.
Interesting. I guess lacto only will produce a krausen like that? I've never done a lacto only (or initial pitch in this case) brew...
Yeah of course, but I think based on the similarities either we have the same contaminated lacto (if it wasn't just lacto), or that's just how a 100% lacto looks like.
Though I didn't boil I was dealing with 160F+ temp wort due to the sparge and kettle heating before I pulled my unboiled/unhopped portion of wort. The amount of time at the temp should have killed most anything else off.
I boiled just like any other wort, because at first I was going to ferment with a normal yeast then add the lacto, but started reading all the suggestions to lacto first to get a better sour. It just threw me to see a full krausen, since I didn't expect that from the lacto. It's been a couple days, krausen dropped, I unplugged the heat belt so it's holding 67, added Brett. Figure I'll give that a few weeks then I'm going to add a vial of the wlp sour Belgium and the dregs from a rr beatification.

Big hugs, Mr. Abu for gifting us with this fighter female, 22 years old, from Kottayam. And an extra big hug for not parading her as a virgin.
Sat, 14 Apr 2012
Aashiq Abu's '22 F Kottayam' is a bitter, raw confrontation of a truth; a truth that we have turned our faces away from, a truth that we have pretended to be non-existent, a truth that we have kept wrapped beneath shrouds and shrouds of (pseudo) morality. The confrontation over, this truth wedges itself into your psyche with such ferocity, that you leave the theatres with a bleeding conscience, writhing in discomfort.
Tessa K Abraham (Rima Kallingal), one among the thousands of hopeful Malayali nurses in Bangalore who dream of flying abroad some day, comes across Cyril (Fahad Fazil), a Visa consultant who promises to have her flying to Canada in no time. Hailing from Kottayam, Tessa is one those girls who has got used to the ways of life in a metropolis, who reveals to Cyril that she doesn't think of nursing as a thankless profession. She's in love with her job and admits that she's the kind who was born to be a nurse. The tips are good too, she shrugs with a smile.
Oh, it's beautiful how these two souls fall in love in a city that goes about busily leading its own life, unmindful of the tiny beings that live in it. 'Tessa Visa' and 'Cyril Visa' eventually do get rid of the 'Visa' bits on their mobile contact lists, and embark on a process of discovering each other amidst hastily exchanged text messages and sms beeps, with the neon lights of the city standing witness to it all. They get drunk and fervently make love at his abode, before she decides to move in with him.
It's on this very same bed that she gets brutally raped weeks later. Rape has probably been never as painfully depicted in Malayalam films, and when it's repeated, it almost makes you nauseous. It isn't really an effortless task to sit through the ordeal that Tessa goes through, and the post-traumatic pain does not sadly limit itself to psychological strain alone. She finds herself literally torn apart, with her skull broken, fingers fractured and bite marks all over her battered body.
This is a relentless film that doesn't let you off that easily. The crime scene remains a callous reminder of the sordidness of the act. Back home with a bruised body and a shaken mind, Tessa tries to pick up the bits of her life that lie all over the place. The soiled carpets, blood stained bed sheets and broken flower pots are enough to drive Cyril insane, but Tessa looks all determined to start all over again. She wonders though if the equations between them have changed after her being raped, and when Cyril hugs her in reassurance, groans that he is hurting her with his crushing grasp.
It would be a gross injustice to label '22 F Kottayam' as a feminist film, nor does it fall into the category of a cult classic like 'Baise Moi', where there is an absolute glorification of the blood being splattered, with vengeance as a justification. It's more of an individual that is wronged in '22 F Kottayam', and that she is a woman makes her torment even worse. But there are singular issues that a woman has to deal with being discussed on a much deeper level, from seemingly trivial ones as the male stare to grave ones as sexual assault.
There are very few men in the film, and they clearly fall into the black or white categories. There is Hegde (Prathap Pothan) who has the most courteous look on his face when he asks if he can have sex with a woman. It's only later that you realize that the criminal act that he commits was not one that was done in isolation. He's a gross sexual offender who has been accused of raping an eight year old girl! There is DK (Sathar) on the other hand, who is a gentleman who admits that nothing in the world comes for free. He accepts favors from the women he love, and ensures that they have no regrets. Perhaps at the other end of the spectrum is Ravi uncle (T G Ravi), the flirtatious old man with a heart of gold, who takes a special liking for Tessa. "I think I'll miss me when I'm gone," says the septuagenarian with a smile.
The writing by Abhilash Kumar and Syam Pushkaran is undoubtedly top-notch. There is an outstanding scene in the film where the perpetrator of the crime looks Tessa straight in her face and says "Fuck You!" "Not any more...," she retorts with a smirk. I loved that scene, which however made me think of another one when she uses the term 'male organ', which stands in striking contrast to the aforementioned scene. It's one of the few plastic scenes in the film, where you wonder if Tessa, being the person that she has eventually turned out to be, would ever have thought of sophistication when using a word as that. In all probability you expect her to shout out a Malayalam expletive with a beep sound blurring it away. And I talk of these, only because this is a film that tries to tear up those conventions into shreds and show them the winds, and very rightly so.
While discussing '22 F Kottayam', I also need to mention a very special movie that I had seen last year, 'Nakharam', that was directed by Deepesh. Not many of us got to see the film in theatres, but there is a striking semblance in the climax of these two films. The respective women protagonists in these films belong to diverse cultural milieu, but the injustice that has been meted out to them is the same. Their ploys of vengeance are very much alike and both of them make mince meat (literally) of the men that had ruined their lives. More than a shock tactic at work, this is an expression (and a fierce one at that) of a repressed sense of being wronged, that surges out in all strength.
Arguments that the film turns out to be sexist at the end of it all, wouldn't really hold ground. When Tessa lands up in jail, it almost seems like the film goes off tangent for a while, but it's here that she meets the heavily pregnant Subaida, who tells her that women are born with the ultimate weapon in their hands, which is at once a boon and a curse. Wanting to kill, Tessa has no qualms of making use of that only weapon she has, and out in the real world approaches DK for help. She murmurs as she offers herself to him, that he shouldn't expect her to be Jincy, his much preferred female escort, on bed. She reminds him that she's a woman who has been raped twice, and who has spent several months in jail, accused of a crime that she never did commit.
Rima, has over the last couple of years, evolved to be an actress of exceptional caliber, and '22 F Kottayam' is undoubtedly the best we have seen from her, as yet. It's not just the intensity that she has managed to infuse into her performance that matters here. The courage that she has shown as an actor to take up a role that doesn't conform to traditions is highly commendable. That she has done absolute justice to it, is a bonus. This is an absolutely woman oriented film, and if Fahad Fazil holds ground with Rima in almost every scene in which we get to see them together, it speaks volumes of the performer that this young man is. His twitched eye brows as he corrects her faulty Malayalam pronunciation would vouchsafe this fact. Almost every other actor in the film has been perfectly cast, and their contributions praiseworthy.
Rex Vijayan and Bijibal come up with a musical score that is simply out of this world. And Shyju Khalid's fantastic frames make sure that it's a film that throws a challenge before you; one that gnaws its way right up your soul.
Big hugs, Mr. Abu for gifting us with this fighter female, 22 years old, from Kottayam. And an extra big hug for not parading her as a virgin.

However, I've been hearing about asexual folks that are able to masturbate, or have libido, and it's making me wonder if I might be asexual. The entirety of my romantic relationships have been long distance ones, and an actual physical sexual relationship hasn't really been that high on the 'to-do' (haha, pun) list.
so, anyone know what sexuality I might be?View Thread

We used to have sex 3 or 4 times a week and often two, sometimes three, times a day. Now, for the last couple years, it's rare we do it more than once a week, sometimes it's been as little as once a month.
The reason for the change is she has been experiencing pain starting a couple minutes into and worsening right after sex. Sometimes it even starts during gentle foreplay. It gets especially bad when she's urinating right after. The discomfort can last for days.
We used to have no problem with any position, any speed, or angle, and required no lubes or foreplay; just patience entering her at the start, and we were never very rough.
Now we have to take extreme care to be as gentle as possible, as lubed as possible and control the speed and angle; but still it usually only lessens her pain. We have tried different brands of lubes (KY, H2O Joe, Wet, and others), no lube, different positions, trimming, shaving, showering before hand, foreplay, no foreplay, extended foreplay, and toys of various sizes. No luck. There is never any blood and I have not seen any tearing or redness. It also makes no difference if I pull out or not.
We only have vaginal sex, and have never used condoms due to my wife's nasty latex allergy but she has always been on the same type and dose hormonal birth control since her teen years, when she started taking it to regulate periods. I'm 5'6 170 and normal size anatomically, she is a smaller lady, 5'6 120 but her doctor says nothing is wrong, lady tests are normal, and she is normal size and has no abnormalities, just "use more lube", but how? We use so much already.
Our theories are; it is a side effect of some medication she is on -or- an allergy to something on one of our bodies. She is on a low dose BC, Keppra for Epliepsy, and several other medications such as Dexilant and Enablex for overactive bladder and IBS, plus a popular pro-biotic. She is also prone to UTI's and yeast infections after sex.
We take good care of ourselves and are clean people, so I don't know what is wrong.

So here I am 54 years old and with thousands of times having masturbated versus 100 or less having partner sex. Like many children of alcoholics I also struggle with physical and emotional intimacy. I've had some great sex (with a partner) but in general much prefer masturbation because: 1) you can get relief when you need it and not have to wait on a partner and hope they are in the mood, 2) you can imagine whatever you want or look at whatever you want and have endless variety, 3) no pressure from performance anxiety or wondering if your partner is enjoying themselves. Plus if you are not emotionally capable of intimacy like me than sex with someone is not a bonding experience or anything emotional. It is simply a means to an end. I eat because I am hungry not because I particularly enjoy food. Same thing with sex.
I've tried but it's nearly impossible for me to feel different. I now have a hard time having partner sex. I feel awkward and uncomfortable. It's a shame as I am in love with a woman and she is ok with me relieving myself providing there is no porn and I am still there when she needs it. Lately though I can't orgasm with her and do not enjoy it much. She doesn't need me to orgasm though but I think it disappoints her some when I don't. I do my best but fear she will sense my lack of enthusiasm and in time it might prove too much for her.
Sex between two people seems so complicated. I don't believe it should be that way but for some of us it's just not worth the effort.View Thread

How much do you think about your horoscope
relating to things in your life ? Every beginning of
the new year there is something said about it.
Usually health - wealth - love (sex life).
My wealth will be fairly comfortable nearing retirement shortly.
My health has been better than most. Had to battle cancer but
after seeing the video in the past discussion about showing
compassion I realize I am blessed.
My sex life is as good as I can expect I suppose because I
have a very supporting wife.
So being a old guy (near that retirement) I would have to
say my horoscope has been accurate over the years.View Thread

What a fantastic vacation spot! We were about a 10 minute drive from either Southampton or Bridgehampton. The house was perfectly decorated with a lot of current upgrades, such as stainless steel appliances and a wireless speaker system for playing music through our portable devices. The pool was a great place to cool down from the humidity. Our favorite place, however was the sun room in the back of the house. Lots of natural light, yet out of the heat. Thank you Sofia for the wonderful accommodations.
We own our beautiful retreat in Water Mill since 2004. We strive to provide our guests with relaxed luxury. Stay home, go explore! It's your choice and you'll love it.

Big car show close to home. Had the K01 with me and didn't feel like running home to get a different lens. Wish I had a wider angle but this one did fine. Was hard to get a 'clean' shot since the place was swarming with people.

Photon is well geared, as you are MNT. I haven't done any carries with Photon for a while, I usually see him paragon leveling in A3. I've been trying to get players to transfer to HC, but so far I've only gotten a few to do so. One of these days you both will play HC, good times.

quotes 3 - 13 -13
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
I was thinking about Leonardo da Vinci today as I watched things from the Vatican.
Maybe we have artist that could paint as he did......BUT, do we have what it would take to furnish a place such as the ceiling of the Vatican???? I doubt it.
We would probablly have committees, and meetings, and agendas and etc, we would probably have to agree on colors and placement and whether or not to have complete nudes or just cover up some of those private parts . Could men today agree on just letting Da Vinci do what he wanted to?
Let's give thanks that there was a time when men like Da Vinci could do what they did!!!!
And thanks for the quotes.

Re: The Empire Strikes Back Appreciation Thread
I was wondering when a thread on ESB would pop up, man this movie is just so perfect that it's funny because as a kid I didn't like it as much because of the downer ending but as I matured and really delved into the character development it changed my mind as the best of the SW movies.
I didn't watch it in 1980 but I do remember watching the limited re-release in 1982 as me and my grade school friends were knee deep into SW excitement.
Self-contained stories part of a larger story is where its at. Not this writing for the trade nonsense. If you're going to write for the trade, don't release it in individual issues. Just release the trade.

Infections From Contaminated Injections Can Lurk Undetected
People who think they didn't get sick from a nationwide meningitis outbreak caused by contaminated steroid injections used to treat back pain may want to think again.
Doctors at hospitals in Michigan did MRI scans of people who had been given tainted injections but didn't report symptoms of meningitis afterwards.
About 20 percent of the 172 people tested had suspicious-looking MRIs, and 17 ended up needing surgery to treat fungal infections in or around the spine.
The patients had gotten steroid injections about three months before the MRI, in mid to late 2012.
Even though some of the people had increased back pain and other problems after the tainted injection, quite a few hadn't gone to the doctor to report the symptoms before the researchers contacted them about getting an MRI.
The researchers think that's partly because people weren't able to tell if the pain was caused by the back problems that led them to get the injection, or from something new.
It may also be because the first people who got sick from the contaminated shots came down with meningitis, an inflammation of the tissue that wraps the brain. It's the kind of life-threatening illness that's hard to ignore. At least 23 people died.
As the number of meningitis cases waned, and people started coming down with spinal infections instead. It's as if the meningitis cases were on a fast boil, and the spinal infections were simmering on a back burner.
This screening method isn't perfect: 17 percent of the patients screened had equivocal MRIs.
But screening with MRI may be a better option than treating all exposed people with high doses of antifungal medications, according to an accompanying editorial. Toxic effects of treatment include altered mental states, hallucinations, and liver damage.
The Food and Drug Administration has warned people who may have been exposed to medicines produced at the New England Compounding Center after May 21, 2012, to be alert for headaches fevers, chills, and other symptoms.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends MRIs for people who received contaminated injections and who had symptoms at or near the injection site. The company produced about 1,200 different drugs, most of which were injectables.
But the study authors, who work at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, the Veterans Affairs An Arbor Healthcare System, and the University of Michican Medical School, think that it would be better to screen all patients at risk, whether they've got symptoms or not.
The results were reported in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association.

Historical Traveler Reviews Page Terrace Beachfront Hotel Treasure Island
Wonderful experience
I have recommended Page Terrace to all my friends. I love how clean, friendly and very helpful the hotel owners were. I've named this to be one of my spots to get away to.
We keep going back!
Our family has stayed at the Page Terrace three times and all three times it was a fabulous experience! Roman and his family are wonderul! Great room, great view, great beach....It is truly a awesome place to be!
They were right :-)
I stayed at the Page Terrace 05/03-05/07 2004 and was very pleased. The rooms were EXACTLY the way it looks on the website (no trick photography) and the hotel was VERY clean. We had fresh towels daily and never heard any noise. An excellent beachfront hotel at an unbeatable price.
Best Place to Stay on Treasure Island
This property on Treasure Island is a small family owned and operated establishment. I stayed in April with my wife and my son. Driving up and down Gulf Blvd looking for the best place to enjoy my week vacation I was lucky to stop by and get a great room at a fabulous price. It's quiet, comfortably, and impressively clean. The owner and his family took care of all my needs and I am very satisfied. This is the place where I'll be coming when I retire in less than two years. I recommend this property to all of my family and friends.
Will Stay Again!!!
Read reviews posted on TripAdvisor site, we agree with others. Very clean, quiet and peaceful. Great place to unwind. We'll be back!!
Our home away from home
This is literally our home away from home, we have been coming here since 1981. Roman and his family are wonderful, as are the staff, we always joked that it is the only place you go to on vacation and hug the housekeeper! It is very clean and friendly and convenient to shopping, restaurants etc. We love it!
Enjoyed my stay at The Page Terrace Motel!!
I had such a wonderful vacation at The Page Terrace Motel
Excellent Place to Stay!!!
This was the best vacation I've ever had. This motel is the cleanest I've ever seen. I will definately spend another vacation at Page Terrace!!!
Best Motel On Treasure Island!!!
You won't find a friendlier, cleaner Motel on the beach. Roman and his wife make you feel like family here! The Page Terrace might not be the newest motel on the beach, but you won't find another resort as clean or as well kept as this one. They have guest laundry facilitys on site and they're within walking distance to grocery shops, variety stores and resturants that can satisfy even the most discriminating taste buds .I've been a guest at the Page Terrace for the past 11 Spring vacations and each one has been memorable. The Pages location makes for the most beath taking sunsets that you'll treasure for a long time to come.When you get there,tell Roman,Mark says "Hi!"
Love this Family Resort
We are repeat visitors to this wonderful family owned resort-which is probably Florida's best kept secret! We stumbled upon it quite a few years ago and have made it our own vacation spot each year since. The owners are so friendly and keep the resort as if it were their very own home. Situated right on the Gulf it is like a sparkling jewel on the beach--so clean, pristine and well kept. Rooms are always clean, as is the property. the rates are great and it is ideally located. A rare gem!!
