How long will you live?
In my extended family, I sometimes ask the 30-and-40-something members how long they think they'll live. Some think it's a weird question. But what I've learned from being part of a very large family, with multiple generations, is this: It's impossible to predict who will last a long time and who will die pretty young.
We recently learned that a cousin we didn't know very well died at age 56. She'd had some mental problems and because she was an only child, and her mother and father both died long ago, and her husband divorced her, we don't have anyone to ask the circumstances. She lived in California and Oregon. Very sad.
My mom, at 91, has outlived four brothers, two older, two younger. My dad, the youngest of seven, was one of the first to die at age 77.
According to the National Institute on Aging, in 1970, "the average life expectancy at birth in the United States was 70.8 years; in 2008, it was 78.0 years; and by 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau projects life expectancy will reach 79.5 years."
When my nieces and nephews ask me how old I want to live until, I often pick 79. I always wanted to be part of the big crowd.
At what age do you want to get out of this race?
(My 91-year-old mom with my extended family's youngest, 2-week-old Giovanni)

Update 5/17:
If you've visited the Guardian forums at all, you may have seen my thread which explains the guardian build I use for all my dungeon runs:
and now my mesmer build as well:
I have been asked quite a bit what the primary warrior in my group runs though, so today I bring you the warrior build that we currently use for dungeons. This build provides huge dps for both the group and as a primary dps class. Due to the recent patch making Axe 5 much less effective for burst healing and constantly proccing for life steal damage, GS + Axe/Mace gives you higher damage potential and the same survivability as my old Axe/Mace + Axe/Axe build. This allows me to utilize the best burst and rotation for various bosses and mobs depending on if I can get 100B + WW off or I need the auto attack + interrupt on Axe/Mace, or a combination of both.
The video guide can be found as follows:
Also you can find this build in action on my youtube page with various dungeons from guardian, mesmer, and/or warrior perspective:
This build has been tweaked quite a few times to get to something that my group feels is the best DPS build for dungeons, based on patch and balance changes. This is a build specific for dungeons, not for WvW or PvP, so I would not refer to this for those instances. It provides huge amounts of sustained damage over the course of boss fights, provides damage benefits to your entire group, and gives you very good micro-level mobility and a way to interrupt and remove defiant stacks. While I do prefer the Axe/Mace playstyle a bit more, I do realize that a combination of both weapons gives you the flexibility and overall dps benefit by using optimal rotations. This allows you to get the superior skill damage rotation from GS with 100B+WW, and the superior auto attack dps and added utility from vuln stacking and a knockdown with A/M.
Build and Equipment:
If you are running a longbow with Axe/Mace for some fights, you also have the ability to switch Slashing Power to Dual Wielding.
This build is focused on dps, and rightly so, warrior has some of the highest sustained damage in the game while not being made of "glass". While this game has been designed to allow a mix of various classes capable of completing dungeons, it is quite clear that a pseudo-trinity still exists and certain group comps make dungeon runs quick and painless (as proved by my various dungeon videos). One of these parts is a dps class that not only provides good direct damage by themselves, but also contributes to overall group damage while not constantly being downed and taking away total dps, by both losing your own dps, and causing someone else to res you. This is the part that this warrior build provides.
As far as gear goes, a balanced build between knights and berserker is based on the below stat comparison on what you lose per 1% of crit damage.
The tradeoff for 1% of crit damage is equal to:
- 5 stat points - upgrade slot of trinkets and backpack
- 7 points - Ascended Back Piece
- 8.5 stat points - Ascended Rings
- 8.7 stat points - Ascended Earrings
- 9.4 stat points - Ascended Amulet
- 10 stat points- traits (not an equipment, but listed for comparison)
- 12 stat points - glove, shoulder and boots
- 12.8 stat points - 1H weapons and amulet
- 13.33 stat points - Earring
- 14 stat points - Backpack (rare version from guild armorsmith)
- 14.22 stat points - 2H weapons
- 14.4 stat points - Coat (Chest)
- 16 stat points - Ring, helm and legging
For armor sockets, I now use 6 scholar runes, you need about 25% uptime on 90%+ health to make them better then ruby orbs. The cheaper alternative of course is 6 ruby orbs. Yes I used to use 2x Monk runes just for some extra boon duration, but for maximizing your dungeon speed clears for some of the videos I make it's better to go pure dps since you don't really need the boon duration in groups, it's more beneficial for soloing.
For weapons, I use Sigil of Force on Axe and Greatsword (or specific dungeon sigil if you prefer), Sigil of Bloodlust for power stacks on mace, and then a backup mace with Sigil of Battle and Sigil of Night when I have 25 bloodlust stacks or I'm doing a dungeon like CoF1 where I won't really have the chance to build bloodlust. It seems that Accuracy and Force now stack together, so Accuracy on mace for when you already have 25 bloodlust stacks and aren't in a nighttime dungeon is probably better then battle when you can already reach 25 might with a 1guard/3war/1mes group.
As far as other weapons go, they all pretty much have Force on them since I don't use them much and Force is a pretty cheap, generic, all around good sigil. You do want a shield with Sigil of Energy though, for both the extra dodges when running through trash when you would equip a shield for Invuln time, and also for any instances you find where you need more dodges. Your go-to ranged weapon is going to be Longbow, which offers higher direct damage then Rifle at the cost of 300 range untraited.
As far as crit chance goes:
Your base crit chance (full ascended/scholar) is going to be 51%
20% from Fury bumps that to 71%
9% from heightened focus goes to 80%
170 precision from banner pushes it to 87%
70 precision from Omnomberry Pies/Ghosts pushes it to 90% (or more from butternut squash soup).
So as far as food goes, Omnom Pies/Ghosts are still the best regen/life steal food in a high crit build. It does have a 1s internal cooldown now, but offers more life gain then any regen food assuming you are actually doing damage and critting. If you do not need the lifesteal, then something like Curry Butternut Squash Soup will offer more dps overall now that there is a cooldown on proccing lifesteal which also does damage. So food is more situational on what you are doing now.
Skills which you will be using a majority of the time:
- Healing Surge is much better then Healing Signet in this build, since you usually have 3 bars of adrenaline and you no longer have signet cooldown like in my older builds
- For Great Justice is one of the best skills for dungeons, increasing the damage of your entire party with 100% uptime on at least 3 stacks of might with 0 cast time to take away from your direct damage
- Every class should always have at least 1 stun break and a way to remove conditions, Shake it Off provides that for warrior for heavy condition fights, or Frenzy for fights where you don't need condition removal. Further condition removal comes from teammates (i.e. Guardian), because dungeons are a teamwork based activity.
- Banners are huge benefits to the group, it has near 100% uptime with the trait, provides swiftness for running through trash mobs, and provides overall damage and survivability to your group.
- Signet of Rage should be obvious. Along with For Great Justice, you always have Fury up which is one of the most important boons for a dps role.
For a few bosses where you need stability, as well as the Harpy Fractal, I will take Balanced Stance instead of a banner or Shake it Off.
If you know you won't really need condition removal, you can also take Frenzy instead of Shake it Off to really maximize your dps. Also to maximize dps, we usually run OMM instead of Banner of Tactics now.
Finally in a few of the fractals at 30+, you will probably want to take Endure Pain instead of a Banner so you are able to burst down some of the harder groups without getting downed.
Switching to the appropriate skills for a given situation will just come with experience, knowing what you can get away with, and what will provide the overall best dps in consideration with being interrupted or downed.
This is where I get into the usefulness of GS and Axe/Mace and the proper rotations you should be using.
GS has superior dps with the 100B and Whirlwind rotation. The downside is obviously that you are rooted for 3.5s while using 100B, and the auto attack dps of GS outside of this combo is inferior to Axe. When running in an organized group with an anchor, alot of the downside to the root is mitigated, while you still may need to "break" the animation of 100B to dodge sometimes, you can still get the full rotation off most of the time outside of some instances in high level fractals. If a mob is against a wall, WW offers by far the highest dps out of all your skills while evading at the same time.
Now the benefit of Axe/Mace is that it has superior auto attack dps with Axe, especially when you don't need the vulnerability that comes with the GS auto attack, the ability to front load 8 stacks of vulnerability with Axe 2/Mace 4, and the knockdown which is especially useful for bursting down packs of silver mobs.
With fast hands, you get the benefit of both the GS and Axe/Mace strengths, while mitigating their weaknesses. Fast hands will allow you to get the 100B+WW combo off which takes ~5s which has the highest dps potential out of all your skills, then instantly swap to Axe/Mace to get the superior auto attack dps and utility while 100B+WW is on cooldown. Once your 5s weapon swap is off cooldown again, you can switch back to GS and repeat the rotation all over again.
If you are in a PuG and find yourself needing more range, you can still take Longbow for your swap. First it has more direct damage then Rifle which benefits from a crit/damage build and it has some nice AoE burst with the 3rd skill. The tradeoff is that you have 300 less range which I don't really find a problem most of the time and you do have the option to trait it if needed. I will also use A/M + Longbow in a few instances at high level fractals, specifically for bosses like Mossman, the last Shaman Fractal boss, and the last boss of Dredge Fractal. In these instances, I find that Axe/Mace will allow me to burst in and melee better then GS, because alot of the times you won't have the opportunity to be rooted for the entire 3.5s to get the full benefit of GS. As mentioned earlier, this is where you would swap Slashing Power for Dual Wielding in the Strength line.
Hopefully this guide helps to show what a Warrior can bring to a dungeon group. Their sustained damage, high damage traits, and offensive boons is a huge benefit for the ability of a group to quickly and efficiently clear dungeons. They are basically the direct counterpart to what a Guardian can bring for group survivability. Don't let the lack of a pure trinity and uneducated dungeon runners let you think that classes and roles don't exist. If you want to run dungeons easily and efficiently there are still optimal classes and roles just like any MMO. The pseudo trinity is still tank/dps/support as it currently stands, and this warrior build is the prime example of the dps role in a group. It provides both excellent direct damage and damage for your entire group without sacrificing cast-times to give this group support. This trinity is much looser then most other MMOs, but it still exists in GW2 if you want to be optimal. If you think otherwise, you probably haven't run dungeons in an efficient, team-work based group before.
Thanks for reading, and good luck out there.

Sussex Police and Crime Panel has included an increase in council tax in its Police and Crime and Commissioner's budget for 2014/15.
The budget presented by Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne at the panel's meeting on Friday (January 24) will also see investment in victim support, frontline policing and the fight against cyber crime.
Mrs Bourne asked the panel members to approve a budget that would result in a 3.6 per cent increase in the police's council tax precept - a small part of the overall council tax bill shared by county, borough and parish councils.
This is the first increase for four years, the precept having been frozen since 2010. The increase will add another £4.95 a year to a Band D household bill to £138.42 and will generate £2.8m for police work.
Cllr Chris Dowling, vice chairman of the panel who chaired Friday's meeting, said: "Agreeing a budget that will increase council tax for residents at a time when councils are working tirelessly to prevent any rise was a very difficult decision for the panel to make and one that wasn't taken lightly," said the "Members felt there may have been alternative ways to raise the money needed for investment without burdening the taxpayer. Scrutinising the budget, members asked for a guarantee that other options had been looked at and were satisfied that this was being done."
The panel questioned the Commissioner on her savings plan, asked whether she had considered diverting money from tackling the types of crime which are falling and queried whether sufficient savings had been made on support staff and processes.
The Commissioner said the additional money would be used to pay for 36 dedicated Sexual Offences Liaison Officers (SOLOs) that would offer support to victims of sexual violence, domestic abuse and child exploitation. She said the addition of the SOLOs would release 9,000 hours of officers' time for general police work.
Investment would also be made in increasing visible frontline policing, she told the panel. This would include fast-tracking the recruitment and training of 150 police officers in addition to the current plan to recruit 120 Specials and 60 PCSOs in 2014/15.
Finally, the Commissioner said, investment would be made in fighting cyber-enabled crime. Sussex Police would continue to work with Surrey Police to develop a joint Cyber Crime Strategy, train officers and staff in this area and train frontline officers to respond to cyber-enabled crime.
"While we recognise that any increase in precept will impact on residents, we felt the investment detailed by the Police and Crime Commissioner was vital to fund Sussex Police and keep our communities safe," Cllr Dowling added.
With uncertainty over the level of increase that would trigger the need for a referendum, the panel agreed to a rise of up to 3.6 per cent as long as a referendum was not needed.
The panel also heard reports from the Police and Crime Commissioner on the Police and Crime Plan 2014/15 and an update on plans to replace the retiring Chief Constable of Sussex Police.

I know Mozza has been beaten to death already, but as a pretty new Hound I thought maybe I'd have a slightly different perspective. My girlfriend and I stopped by for an early dinner yesterday, waited just a few minutes for a two-top at around 5:00 PM. It took our waitress at least five minutes to acknowledge us, quite annoying. This set the tone for the rest of our meal there; the busboys were excellent and made sure we had everything we needed, but our waitress was unattentive and seemed generally uninterested. She was nice enough, but not really the kind of service we were expecting.
Ultimately we decided on the salt cod bruschetta to start, followed by margherita and funghi misti pizzas. I really liked the bruschetta - it featured a cream-like salt cod paste on top of your standard crostinis. At first bite it seemed a bit fishy, but after another taste I was used to it and it was perfect. The buttery cod was just salty enough, and played perfectly against the crunch of the thin, crispy crostini. My only complaint would be that there wasn't a whole lot of food - three bruschettas for $9 is not exactly a bargain (and it's not like salt cod is a luxury item). Nonetheless, good way to start a meal.
After another lengthy delay, with no word from our waitress, we received our pizzas. It's probably clear by now that the pies aren't very big - four small slices each, maybe seven or eight inches in diameter. They came piping hot, and "perforated" for easy cutting. The first thing I'd say is that the debate over whether these dishes are truly "pizza" is ridiculous. They are pizzas - there is nothing about them that suggests otherwise. They may not be authentic Italian pizzas, they're certainly not like the pizza you'd be served in New York, but they are pizzas. The crust was very good - crispy in the middle, expanding to a bit doughier towards the outside. I liked the blistered look and the flavor was excellent. I was somewhat less impressed with the rest of the pizzas. The margherita had a nice, interesting sauce, but there wasn't enough of it. Nor was there enough cheese for my taste; my overall impression was that the pizza was good but in no way memorable. I would say roughly the same thing about the funghi misti: nice, big chunks of mushrooms, excellent creamy sauce, but...something seemed missing. Considering there wasn't a lot of food and the price was fairly high, I was waiting for something special, and it never materialized. Maybe it's my fault for picking two of the more reserved pizzas on the menu, but I was hoping for more. Both pizzas were good, but I'd almost call them boring.
We were in a rush and skipped dessert, so I have no comment on that section of the menu. All things considered, I liked Mozza - the pizza was certainly above-average and the space was classy. But considering the prices and the hassle involved in getting a table during prime hours (so I hear), I'm not really in a hurry to return. The service was average at best...I'll try it again in a bit, but I'm not sure I see what all the fuss is about.

Candied Bacon
What I'm about to share with you today is so incredible that I'm just going to go ahead and apologize in advance for the massive cravings that might ensue after reading this post. I made this bacon as a snack, you see… an after-school snack. My son had asked me if I could whip up a little something for him to nibble on while tackling his math homework, and I brought him this: Candied Bacon
He looked at me all wide eyed and surprised, took a bite, and then he delivered a very enthusiastic, "THANK YOU!" I understood his enthusiasm. I had already sampled my slice of bacon, and I was definitely wishing I'd made more! This stuff is good. SOOOOO good. Really good. Like, you'll be craving-it-in-your-sleep good!
You'll need just three ingredients- bacon, brown sugar and cinnamon. That's it.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon, then coat the bacon slices generously with it.
You'll be baking this bacon, so place it on a rack that has been set on a foil- lined, rimmed pan. I like to poke the bacon down through the rack in a few places so it gets that wavy look when it's done.
And then let the oven do its magic. The bacon gets all caramelized and candied and wonderful.
If you can manage to get the bacon to a plate without eating it all first, you can serve it up for breakfast. But I'm envisioning much more than breakfast for this bacon! I see it in chocolate chip cookies. I see it sprinkled on top of maple cupcakes. I see it in my dinner salad. And I see it crunched into pancakes too. Are you craving it with me now?
Yield: 12 slices of bacon
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Candied Bacon
Addicting. Seriously.
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 slices center-cut bacon (don't use extra-thick bacon)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a rack on top (like a cookie cooling rack). Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Dip bacon slices in the cinnamon-sugar, coating both sides, and place the coated bacon strips on the rack. I like to poke the bacon into the grooves of the rack in a few places so your bacon will come out looking a little wavy.
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon appears to be caramelized and somewhat crispy. Watch closely after 15 minutes since the sugar can begin to burn when left in too long. Serve immediately.
*If you are preparing this recipe as gluten-free, just be sure to use a brand of bacon that is known to be GF.

You are definitely the best mom in the world! This looks immense!
Drooling on this bacon is an understatement! I literally want to pull out the bacon on the monitor. My craving for this is instantly turned on and I can smell it from here. =)
Wow! This looks so good, I'm not even sure how to react. I want to eat it through the monitor 😉
I need this. Like ASAP.
oh this sounds incredible Lori!!
I dip my bacon in flour and bake it, it gives it a delicious crust, I can't wait to try this!
LOVE sweet crispy bacon, there is little that is better in my book! Drooling before 6am 🙂 xoxo
My-my. Want—NOW. I've never cooked (or eaten) candied bacon. My hubby will love you for sharing this. 🙂
Candied bacon chocolate chip cookies. I think I smell a new Xmas cookie!
I can't even imagine how great this would be crumbled into a salad! Forget the candied nuts 🙂
I want to eat it ALL!!! Ahh! Looks so good!
Thanks for apologizing first. I kept reading under my own risk and now I need to get me a bacon fix 🙂
Oh My Delish! And this looks less messy to prepare than the maple syrup version I've done. 🙂
this restaurant by me does this, but also adds hot red pepper flakes! OMG the bacon, sugar and hot pepper is AH-MA-ZING. They call it "man candy" LOL
Wow! This looks amazing. Can't wait to try it.
This could not be more scrumptious. My mouth is watering!
This sounds absolutely wonderful and is simple to do gluten free. Can't wait to try it on GF pancakes and waffles! Yum!
Oh my – this is quite painful to look at when I'm trying to be healthy. Oh well, you only live once, right?
I'm not a bacon fan because of calories! 🙁 But I would so love to make this for my Husband! He would LOVE it!!! I'm thinking of making it this morning than bringing some in to his work. His whole work has a bacon fetish!!
Try it sometime with a hot component like cayenne too. I wrap brown sugar/cayenne coated bacon around a pretzel and bake it. One of our most favorite appetizers EVER.
Oh yes yes yes. When I made Jessica's (How Sweet It Is) candied bacon pb cookies I had to make extra candied bacon than the recipe caeld for because I ate a lot of it before I could even make the cookies.l
I make this a lot..well not a lot because it is too tempting, but maybe once a month. Sometimes I add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. YUM
To take it over the top, dip it in melted semi-sweet chocolate with a bit of cayenne pepper mixed in and let the chocolate harden.
Candied Bacon makes my heart flutter. So much I love about it <3
What a perfect snack!!
Yes! I am craving it now! This stuff looks so delicious. Thanks for such a great idea. 🙂
Thank goodness I don't keep bacon in the house because this could be dangerous!
I make this all the time. We call it Pig Candy out here in Texas. I agree try a little cayenne pepper that is good too.
You've made me want to take a bite out of my computer screen. Seriously. I've got a couple pounds of bacon in the fridge that is soon going to turn into candied bacon. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Lori, i've never had candied bacon before but LOVE anything salty/sweet. Plus, i think my boyfriend would love me even more if i made anything with bacon for him. Saving this recipe for sure!
Amazing! Love the tip about poking it through in a few places–it turns out so pretty!
Love me some pig candy!
This stuff is awsome. The version I've made is with red pepper rather than cinnamon – but I think I found a new recipe to try!!
I just made this. Am trying very very hard to make myself stop after two slices….can't wait til my son gets home so he can try it! Oh wait, he has detention. Highly probable his sisters will have devoured it by then. Too bad, so sad! Thanks for the recipe!
I cringe evertime I see a newly added "bacon item" to various menus. Everyone is coming up with some gnarly bacon concoction and yet I found myself drawn to this one! I WILL be making this for my family and will post the reviews after. Thanks for a very delicious looking menu item!!
Ooh, this recipe is dangerous, for I have a full pack of bacon in the freezer. *rubs hands gleefully*
I make something similar to this using cayenne pepper and turkey bacon. I have to make 2 lbs at a time because it goes so fast.
I think this will be the perfect garnish for the bourbon brown sugar cupcakes I plan on making this weekend. I'm pretty sure that I will have to make this when my husband isn't around or there won't be any left to put on the cupcakes.
Oh my goodness!!! I made this to top cupcakes for my Dad's birthday and I thought I could handle it…I now have a burnt tongue and fingers because I couldn't wait till it cooled!! Soooo delicious! Perfect balance of salty & sweet! I can't say YUM enough!
Evil…just pure evil…the way it is looking at me…enticing me…
I just tried this recipe and had bad results. Can anyone tell me what went wrong? I used Hormel black label center cut bacon. I cooked at 350, checked after 15 min, and ended up cooking for 38 min total before giving up (because the drippings had turned black and burn smelling) and yet the bacon was still soft, chewy, and dripping soggy after sitting a while. The bacon was thin, I dont understand why it didn'tget crispy at all. Other recipes all say around the same thing, 20-30min at 325-350. My oven has been working fine. It it supposed to be wet and chewy? Thanks!
Lori Lange, thank you for replying! I did use cookie cooling racks. Everything looked like your pictures – same amount of sugar coating, the drippings looked the same, but the bacon never got crispy and the sugar was like a syrup rather than candied. I may have been too impatient and it may have gotten crispy eventually, but it seemed to be taking longer than all of the recipes I've seen calls for. I may have gotten there if I cooked for 45-50 mins, I don't know. I'll have to try it again and see if I get better results!
We too have issues with the bacon not getting crispy. We've tried it at 450, 350, and 250 for varying amounts of time and it still isn't crispy. We've used 22/28 thin slices, and 16/18 thin slices – these are the slice count per pound, and still get the half crispy along the edges and chewy in the middle. More experimenting is in our future, but the flavor is AHHHH-MAZING!
We're going to try par-baking the bacon first, then sprinkling the cinnamon/sugar mix over the top and seeing if that helps. That would allow more time for the bacon to crisp up before the sugar burns. We are also going to try white sugar.
Thanks for the amazing recipe 🙂
This is just the recipe I was looking for to make Bacon maple ice cream!
I just made this recipe and it tasted so amazing!!! I'm so glad I tried it! I did find that a 1/2 cup brown sugar wasn't enough to coat all 12 bacon slices, so I made an additional 1/2 cup. I also had to bake mine for about 25 minutes to get a decent level of crispiness (but even then the slices weren't that crispy). But with all that sugar on the slices I don't think it's possible to get it very crispy without burning the bacon/ sugar. Either way, awesome dish that I will definitely make again!!! : )
This looks so good, I pinned it for later and couldn't decide what board to put it under…candy or desserts…haha.

I didn't Know Bacon Had gluten in it .nice to know
I tried this today and I must say that this is the best bacon I ever tasted. I adjusted it slightly for three strips of bacon and it turned out perfectly. I'll definitely be making this agin.
I am a private chef, culinary teacher, and restaurant critic and I used this recipe in my banana maple bacon cupcakes. I also topped the cupcakes with a cream cheese icing that I added in this bacon. It was to DIE for! NOTE: I used freshly ground Saigon Cinnamon, it just makes the taste "pop."
If I'm giving this for a gift for my son, how best can I package/store this? info or ideas please. Thank you

Dog saves Barrymore from blaze
Actress Drew Barrymore and fianc� Tom Green have escaped a fire that gutted their Los Angeles home.
The star of Charlie's Angels and her comedian boyfriend were alerted to the fire by their dog Flossie who barked as it spread through the two-storey house north of Beverley Hills.
Eddie Michaels, Barrymore's spokesman, said the dog had "literally banged on the bedroom door".
"Flossie was really the main alert that there was a fire," he said.
'Shocking sight'
Sixty fire-fighters took about an hour to bring the blaze under control, Fire Department spokesman Jim Wells said.
However, Mr Michaels said: "The house is totalled. It's a pretty shocking sight to see an entire charred-out house, but it is."
The cause of the blaze is not known.
Barrymore become a global star as a seven-year-old when she appeared in ET in 1982, but spent her childhood and teenage years going through drug-abuse and alcoholism.
After rehabilitation she returned to the screen, and has since established herself as an actress and producer.
Born into one of Hollywood's most esteemed acting dynasties, her godfather is Steven Spielberg, and her grandfather John Barrymore.
She co-produced and starred in Charlie's Angels last year, for which she was reported to have been paid $9m (�6.2m).

Channing Tatum is speaking out about why and his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, decided to share a photo of their newborn daughter, Everly, via social media. It seems the White House Down star wanted to control how and when the public first saw his baby.
"We didn't want to go through a tabloid — we just wanted to let it out so paparazzi would stop trying to hound us. You know, here it is, that's it. Now, let us be," Tatum explained, according to People magazine.
It is admirable that the mega star didn't try to collect money for a photo of Everly. Reportedly, magazines pay celebrity parents for early images of their tots all the time. Moreover, paparazzi score big bucks for first shots of star infants.
In this case, no one profits. Plus, perhaps the Tatums can enjoy some peace with their precious daughter. Bravo to them for a commendable decision!
Meanwhile, Channing Tatum also opened up about what life is like now that Everly has arrived.
"[Jenna's] tired. Those first few months, it's just ridiculous, just [taxing]," the movie star papa admitted. He went on to insinuate that his wife is doing most of the work. That being said, it seems like Tatum is more than willing to pitch in where he can.
"All I can really do is just sit there and change diapers ... and get them food. Whatever they want." Aww. What a swell guy. He really is perfect!
The film star father further revealed that he and Dewan-Tatum may be ready for baby number two pretty soon, joking that Irish twins are a possibility. Well, if the star parents make 'em as cute as little Everly, then why not? As long as Dewan-Tatum is up for being pregnant again so soon...
What do you think of the couple's choice to self-publish the first picture of their daughter?

Getting Help From the Outside
Olmert will find it difficult without a strong international component to carry out the withdrawal that in his opinion is essential for saving Israel.
Unlike Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who hated to make decisions and covered his diplomatic policy plans in a fog of ambiguity, Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has openly presented his views on the future borders. Two years ago he had already spoken about a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank to a demographic line that would maintain a ratio of 80:20 between Jews and Arabs inside Israel, and about an exit from the outermost Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem.
Olmert said that Israel must determine its own fate and not wait for a Palestinian partner; otherwise it would find itself isolated internationally and in distress vis-a-vis an Arab majority between the Jordan and the sea. As we have not heard any change in his opinions, it is possible to predict that Olmert will try to advance this plan if he wins the elections. It enjoys support at the top level of Kadima, and in the absence of Sharon, who said "there will not be a second disengagement," the leadership barrier that had held it up has been removed.
There will be three obstacles in Olmert's way. First he has to win the elections. If he is elected, he will have to win over the defense establishment, from which expressions of regret about the complete withdrawal from Gaza have been heard (Avi Dichter, Kadima's new security master mind, has explicitly warned against another unilateral withdrawal). Olmert lacks his predecessor's military authority, and he will need the best of his political abilities to put together a coalition in uniform that will support him. Such support is necessary, because soldiers and police are the ones who will have to evacuate the West Bank settlers. The third challenge will be putting together suitable international recompense and convincing the American administration that a second disengagement will not undermine the stability of the region.
All of these difficulties share one factor: the chaos that is spreading in the Palestinian Authority. Even if Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas is boasting of his misery in order to postpone the elections, and to altogether evade responsibility, it is hard to imagine him suddenly giving himself a good shake and taking charge. Israel will have to take into account that beyond the fence there is a vacuum, at least in the short and medium range.
The Palestinian anarchy will help Likud Candidate MK Benjamin Netanyahu. The Likud campaign ads will undoubtedly show Olmert talking about withdrawal on the backdrop of shots of rioting Palestinians, accompanied by the question of whether this is what voters want just outside Kfar Saba. The anarchy will justify the opponents of the withdrawal in the security establishment, who will warn against putting the mountain ridge into Palestinian hands. And in Washington, too, there are likely to be questions as to whether it is right to pull out and leave a "Hamastan" in the West Bank that would also threaten Jordan. The easy solution would be to ask for a time out, to say that Israel is recovering from the double trauma of the exit from Gaza and the loss of Sharon. This will doubly "Denver boot" Israel in the continuation of the occupation and the continued life in the settlements. The more daring and riskier solution would be to announce a withdrawal, to get better guarantees from America for completing the fence, to leave the settlement blocs in place and to deny the right of return, to evacuate the settlers and leave. The window of opportunity for doing this is closing with Sharon's departure.
But there is a third way, which Israel has not yet tried: to demand of the international community that it see to the territories that are evacuated. Like in Yugoslavia, Haiti or East Timor. If the Palestinians are incapable of seeing to their own affairs, and this seems to be the situation, Israel must not fall into a trap in the West Bank. If the world wants it to withdraw and end the occupation, it should take upon itself some of the responsibility and station policing forces in the West Bank.
This will not be easy. After the embroilment in Iraq, there are no volunteers to deploy in the Middle East. Israel, too, will need to weave a complicated understanding that the settlement blocs and the Old City of Jerusalem remain in its hands in the format of a border dispute, until a partner for negotiations arises. But without a strong international component, Olmert will find it difficult to carry out the withdrawal that in his opinion is essential for saving Israel.

While their roots are here in Knoxville, Random Acts of Flowers has grown to new lengths, in London.
It's a simple concept; take recycled flowers and turn them into beautiful works of art for people in hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living centers. It's such a great idea that it's gone international.
This week Random Acts of Flowers is hosting three women from England and teaching them all they need to know when it comes to recycling flowers for a good cause.
Julie Ritter, one of the women visiting said "We wanted to help the floral industry become greener and at the same time give back to the community."
They created a name for themselves, "Floral Angels" and after some research they came across Random Acts of Flowers.
"Frances found it online and we all said that's what we want to do." said Julie
They got in touch with the Random Acts of Flowers creator, Larson Jay and he invited them to Knoxville, Tennessee.
"They're here learning and hopefully we can help them create a charity similar to ours here in Knoxville." said Larson Jay, creator of Random Acts of Flowers.
It's an act of kindness that is being shared around the world.

New MyGoFlight iPad Checklist, FREE at Oshkosh
MyGoFlight, a company focused on the iPad In Motion™ for aviators, announced the new MyGoFlight iPad Checklist, available for FREE at Oshkosh.
The MyGoFlight iPad Checklist is on the back of a luggage tag making it very accessible. It has important information organized in five categories – Before Flight (5+hours), Pre-Flight, In-Flight, Post-Flight and iPad In-Flight Settings.
"The iPad is a very important tool being used before and during flight," said Charles Schneider, CEO of MyGoFlight. "It is being relied upon as a paper chart replacement and as an emergency back-up system. As such, pilots need to be sure that their iPad is good-to-go where and when they need it. Having given many seminars on how to use the iPad, it became clear that a checklist would help pilots ensure that their iPad was ready for flight."
The "iPad Takes Flight!" seminar is a very popular program. The current program is a more advanced version to the one given last year at Oshkosh to a standing room only audience. The use of the iPad is portrayed in a real-world scenario covering everything from the hardware, accessories, settings and apps used to integrate the iPad in aviation.
During Oshkosh, the Checklist can be obtained from MyGoFlight at one of their two booths – Hangar B, #2080 and Hangar D, #4108. They will also be available at their two seminar presentations on the "iPad Takes Flight!" scheduled on Tuesday, 7/24, at 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. – Forum Pavilion 03 and Saturday, 7/28, 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. – Forum Pavilion 02. Supply is limited to one per person. The MyGoFlight iPad Checklist is also available for purchase from the company's website, www.MyGoFlight.com. To contact MyGoFlight, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 303.364.7400.

New DNA tests are giving scientists hope they can change the focus of the fight against Asian carp.
The tests are called environmental DNA, and they've indicated both bighead and silver carp living close to and in Lake Michigan near Chicago.
A peer review published this week confirms the invading carp above a pair of electric barriers intended to keep them out of the Great Lakes.
While the tests aren't good news, this week's article could help focus the fight, said Nature Conservancy scientist Lindsay Chadderton, but the tests don't reveal how many carp live above the barriers.
"We know that we're dealing with more than one fish, but we don't know if it's 100 or 1,000," she said.
Asian carp have quickly infested the Mississippi River system. The voracious fish push out native species, while silver carp are known for their leaping when startled, at times injuring boaters when leaping from the water.
"We would hope that now the paper has been published that we can shift the debate from talking about the validity of the eDNA method to actually starting to identify what are the pragmatic, practical solutions that we can take to prevent establishment of carp within the Great Lakes, and the further spread of carp into the upper canal waterway," Chadderton said.

Club sends an all-time high 16 to state meet
For the second time in the last month, Detroit Lakes 14-year-old Thia Olds will be competing in a state gymnastics meet.
The first one came Feb. 25, where Olds took part in her first Class 1A high school state meet, where she finished 21st on beam with a score of 8.725.
Her second state try will come this weekend in the USGA Level 9, age 14 Division, at the North St. Paul High School.
But this time, Olds will be bringing some friends along --- as in 15 of her Minnesota Flyers Gymnastics teammates.
"It should be a lot of fun," said 13-year-old Level 8 gymnast Molly Lyngaas, who will be competing in her fifth USGA state meet. "My big goal was to make state again."
Having 16 gymnasts, ranging from Level 7 to Level 9 and ages nine to 14, going to state is an immense accomplishment for the MFG organization.
"It shows we are scoring as high as the Cities' private clubs," said MFG head trainer Sith Hansana. "I'm happy sending 16 to state, we've never had that many go to the state optional."
To qualify for state, the gymnasts need to hit a state standard all-around score. USGA judging is also more stringent than high school, making the gymnasts' routines tighter.
Level 8 11-year-old Justine Lawrence scored a 36.5 to qualify for her third state meet, making her on the cusp of being one of the top gymnasts in her division, since a 37.5 with USGA scoring is an elite score.
"I just go out and try hard," Lawrence said of her third state berth. "It's tough to make it."
Hansana added the success of the MFG program is also a benefit for the Detroit Lakes High School team.
"It's a benefit for both," Hansana said. "The gymnasts can do both, it's good for the sport of gymnastics."
Olds had the challenge of transitioning from the high school judging and the USGA, but as one can see, she did it.
"I had to change a few things, but I was able to do it," Olds said.
Olds also has the chance to qualify for the Western Regionals, which takes the top half from each age group.
"She can do it, Thia is a very talented gymnast," Hansana said.
Making it to the level where these Flyer gymnasts are, isn't an overnight process. There are endless hours in the gym, and meets which include road trips to Iowa, Sioux Falls, S.D. and Fargo.
There was a meet every weekend in the month of January, but Hansana trimmed down the schedule to one event in each of February and March.
"I'm glad I did that, because it was a good time to fine tune their skills," the MFG coach stated.
With over 55 gymnasts in Levels 4-9, MFG is comparable to the Fargo clubs, while scoring with the likes of the Metro clubs, which are of the private ilk.
"We are non-profit, so we accept every gymnast," Hansana said. "It's good to promote both (MFG) and the high school programs, too."
The MFG state gymnasts will start Saturday, with the meet running through Sunday afternoon.
Flyers state roster
The 2012 Level 7-10 State Meet Minnesota Flyers Gymnastics qualifiers:
Level 7: Anika Bohmer (13 years old), Jackson Hegg (10), Kennedy Hegg (10), Johanna Jernberg (13), Mary Eleanor Nelmark (9), Natalie Nelmark (12), Alexis Ostlie (11), Emily Smith (11), Alexis Yliniemi (11).
Level 8: Emma Disse (12), Peyton Jernberg (11), Justine Lawrence (11), Molly Lyngaas (13), Cora Okeson (10), Maddie Rue (13).
Level 9: Thia Olds (14).

ikea fado lookalike at half the price
this is another budget saving hack from greg of ecoroofs everywhere. "i wanted a plastic globe instead of the glass version from ikea so i could hang it pretty low over my bed and not worry about it shattering when someone hits it or in an earthquake or whatever. it's also lots cheaper than the ikea fado."
- an ikea hemma cord set
- a 10″ white acrylic replacement globe. (i ordered it online from azpartsmaster for $13.00 plus shipping.)
and here's how:
- drill the top "belly button" from the center of the lamp; that's the little nubbin from the mold — I think they all have this. it's opposite the 3 1/2″ hole where the "fitter" usually holds the globe on the lamp.
- tap the nubbin with an awl or nail if you have one handy, just to keep the drill from wandering away from the center.
- unwire the hemma cordset, and thread it through the hole.
- hook up the electric wires exactly the way it came apart (pay close attention because it's really important to do it correctly so it's safe!). remember black wire to copper colored connector (on mine at least).
- and you're done.
i'd only attempt this if you're really good with electric stuff. if you aren't sure right away how to take it apart, then you should have an electrician friend do it for you. this is a super easy hack if you're handy with electrical stuff."

ok figured it out. fyi the 'side' contact has a 2nd flange that is bent over, with a tapered edge that allows it to be tightened by clicking past the fixed posts but blocks un-screwing. kinda like pill bottles and zip ties.
ANYWAY, once i spotted this, i stuck a screwdriver in there (oh please unplug it first) and gently bent the flange inward allowing the posts to pass by. straightening it back in place lets it lock again when reassembled. thanks for being there.
hiya, if anyone's out there, i'm good except for "unwire the hemma cordset." It isn't un-screwing easily and i don't want to break it. is there a release? the top spins about a quarter turn and stops.
thanks for the help.

Trillanes says Grace is his running mate
SENATOR Antonio Trillanes IV said Friday his announcement of his bid for the vice presidency will give rise to the Poe-Trillanes tandem today for next year's elections
"Our group Magdalo and our chapter leaders all over the country have chosen Senator Grace Poe from among the candidates," Trillanes told dzMM radio.
"So as far as the group is concerned, our tandem will be Poe-Trillanes."
Trillanes will officially announce his candidacy during Magdalo's general meeting at the Amoranto Stadium in Quezon City at 5 p.m. today.
He said he will run as an independent candidate because his two other party mates, Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Bongbong Marcos, will also run for vice president.
"I will run as an independent although I am a member of the Nacionalista Party," Trillanes said. "It will be sona libre or free zone for the party because we have many party members running for the same position."
Trillanes said he will support Poe's presidential bid based on the decision of the Magdalo faction in the House.
And with his declaration, the vice presidential race will be among the three vice presidential candidates of the Nationalista Party and Senator Francis Escudero, who is running as an independent, and possibly Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo of the LP.
Cayetano announced his candidacy in Davao City. He wants to be the running mate of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte who remains undecided on his political plan next year.
There are also indications Marcos wants to be the running mate of Duterte should he decide to run for president. But Marcos said he met Duterte Wednesday night only to seek his advice on the vice presidency.
Vice President Jejomar Binay has said the talks about Marcos running along with him is 93-percent sure.
Meanwhile, Senate President Franklin Drilon says the LP is hopeful Robredo will accept its offer to run for vice president next year.

Espadrilles are back: another example of the ethnic/natural trend infiltrating closets. From left, Christian Lacroix bow wedge, $205 at simplysoles.com; tan Ankle Wrap espadrille, $16.99 at Payless ShoeSource; Cole Haan Collection Alberta fabric wedge, $325 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Washington Post Fashion's inevitable cycle strikes again: Espadrilles are back.
"They're huge for this spring-summer season," says Rebecca Resnick, Teen Vogue senior accessories editor.
The shoes -- usually with a fabric upper and wedge rope sole -- are just another example of the ethnic/back-to-basics/natural trend infiltrating closets. Designers from Payless to Marc Jacobs have weighed in.
Espadrilles are adaptable. "They look great with everything from jeans to skirts," says Resnick. Slip on a pair that lace up the ankle and it's instant sexy.
"It dresses up the leg," she says.
Plus, says Resnick, "with wedges you can have the height without wearing a painful stiletto."

It is autumn, though it may not feel like it outside. The weather was nippy earlier this week and I was looking forward to enjoying some fall teas in actual fall weather. The chill did not last, though, it's cold enough in my office that I'm going to pretend.
This was a sample I got from Den's Tea when I ordered their $3 green tea sampler. I love hojicha – it is a strong savory tea. I normally buy it from the Asian market for cheap. Den's hojicha was everything I already loved about hojicha magnified. The roasted flavor comes right on through. It brews dark, a lovely chocolate color, with a taste to match. SO GOOD.

Soriano hopes for clean slate with Yanks
Soriano hopes for clean slate with Yanks
Now, Soriano's Yankees tenure involves a lot of sitting -- and waiting.
With the eighth-inning role no longer his, Soriano has pitched in only one game since being activated on Friday. To put it another way, the man brought in to be the Yankees' biggest bullpen piece besides Mariano Rivera entered August with only 17 appearances and doesn't really have a role out of manager Joe Girardi's bullpen.
Speaking before Tuesday night's game against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, Soriano said he's learned to be OK with how this season has gone. He now has more patience, is taking things in stride and isn't bothered by the fact that he isn't currently pitching in the role for which he was signed.
In fact, Soriano never expected Girardi to remove Dave Robertson as his setup man.
"I never thought they were going to give me the eighth inning, because this kid has been pitching so well and it'd be a shame for the manager to take a kid out who has been pitching so well all year and just put me in there," Soriano said in Spanish. "I don't feel like I've lost my spot. I just feel like I was out of action for two months, and somebody had to take that spot. To me, whatever inning I can pitch in to help this team, that's where I'll be. I'm not going to feel bad, and I don't feel bad, because he's doing his job."
It'd be hard to adjust the role of Robertson, who entered Tuesday with a stellar 1.49 ERA. But the Yankees have also made a long-term commitment to Soriano and have to eventually see if he's fit to carry on that role as a member of the Yankees.
Soriano may have pitched only one inning since being activated -- he threw a scoreless frame in a blowout win over the Orioles on Saturday -- and he gave up four runs in 4 1/3 Minor League rehab innings before that, but the right-hander says his arm feels better than he expected.
"A lot better, thankfully," Soriano said. "I didn't think it was going to feel this way this fast, but thank God I was able to recover a lot quicker from where I was. Now, I'm feeling a lot better."
Girardi said pregame that he'd ideally like to get Soriano in on Tuesday night. For now, he'll continue to put the 31-year-old right-hander in less stressful situations to get him back in shape.
And Soriano will have to prove himself to gain his trust in big spots again.
A sign of lacking trust from the higher-ups may have been on display before the non-waiver Trade Deadline, as the Yankees were reportedly looking into acquiring the Padres' Heath Bell to their bullpen before balking at the cost.
As for Soriano, he has the option of opting out of his three-year contract and taking a $1.5 million buyout after this season and next season, if he so chooses. Contrary to popular perception, Soriano says he feels comfortable as a member of the Yankees and would lean toward staying.
"At the moment, yes, that's what I have planned, that I'm going to stay this year coming up and the other one," Soriano said. "That all depends on if they don't want to, or if they want to trade me, or anything like that. That would be their choice."
And until that happens, all Soriano can do is wait.
He has plenty of practice.
"I'm just waiting," Soriano said. "I'm waiting for when they give me the opportunity, to know that everything is fine. I know it'll be there."

Thx for your logs. Not much that i can tell you. Something is eating up the memory. If the crash is reproducable with that videos maybe it would help to cut a sample which triggers that crash definitly and upload it somewhere.

Canada's two high profile clothing retail bosses Chip Wilson and Dov Charney have had a tough year. Mr. Wilson was squeezed out as chairman of Lululemon, the company he founded, but is now trying to re-take control. Mr. Charney lost his chairman's spot at American Apparel Inc. last week – and will likely be removed as CEO -- after he was alleged to have tried to discredit women who accused him of sexual harassment.
Here's a side-by-side look at the two fashion moguls:
Dov Charney
Childhood home
Real first name
Tufts University
Their start
Started making t-shirts in 1990; moved manufacturing to Los Angeles in 1997
Company claim to fame
American Apparel's edgy U.S.-made clothing marketed with sexy ads
The businessman
"I have the highest-paid apparel workers in the world."
The cowboy
"I am a bit of a dirty guy, but people like that right now." "I frequently drop my pants to show people my new product."
Big mistake
In 2009 American Apparel laid off about 1,500 employees after it was revealed their immigration status was questionable.
Legal problems
Had to pay $5-million to settle a suit from Woody Allen after using an image from the film Annie Hall without permission
Company stock performance
in past year
Down 63 per cent
How much they still own
of their companies
27 per cent of American Apparel (APP)
Chip Wilson
Childhood home
Real first name
University of Calgary
Their start
Founded Lululemon in 1998; First store opened in Kitsilano, B.C. in 2000
Company claim to fame
Lululemon's extremely comfortable, fashionable yoga wear.
The businessman
"[Women] don't want to look like men and wear power suits; they want to dress femininely, even when they're working out."
The cowboy
"Quite frankly some women's bodies just actually don't work for [Lululemon pants]." "It is really about the rubbing through the thighs; how much pressure is there."
Big mistake
In 2013 Lululeman recalled a key line of black yoga pants because they were too sheer, causing huge writedowns.
Legal problems
Investors filed multiple class action suits against Lululemon, alleging there were disclosure deficiencies related to the yoga pants recall.
Company stock performance
in past year
Down 32 per cent
How much they still own
of their companies
28 per cent of Lululemon (LULU)

not perfectly played, not perfectly recorded but very good concept and LIVE RECORDED a real piano !!! well, if only for that and deserve 5 bombing from time to time.
the modal theme, the "ad libitum" feel make it "dreamy"
5/5 10/10
Yea, imperfection FTW!^^
Well I can't fix that unless I'd go for professional playing.
I must say that my concepts are often only vague and change sometimes even during the recording sessions.
Thanks for the review and the bombing 5!

Into the Light
I must admit, it took a long while to get going. You may want to shorten the intro or add some ambient noises (maybe strings) to it to make it more interesting. The piece is definitely not worth under a 1; I think you've got a lot of people that listen to the first 30 secs and see it not picking up and just 0 and peace out.
The piece is full of feeling; it's very beautiful and I love the little key changes and accidentals you've thrown in there. I especially liked the key change (I think) around 3:30ish. It really drew me in. Composition of the piece, as well as playing, is excellent. I do, however, think that the recording quality could be a bit better. Then again, this is coming from a person that only has a headset mic and the mic on my mac lol. Either way, it's understandable that everyone's on a budget, but I re-recording with some excellent mics would make this piece really shine.
Towards 6:00ish (and somewhere around 4:30ish too I think) I really liked when you picked up the pace, put more energy into it, and began playing a bit louder. The variations you have in loudness really let the emotion show. I think towards the end or around the second time you pick up, you could do with adding a strings accompaniment. God, don't even get me started on how it would sound with the strings picking up and the emotion rising to another level. Don't get me wrong, I love me some piano ballads, but the strings just take it to a whole 'nother level.
...Wow, that ending was stupidly good. I loved how you ended it and I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but gimme some strings and I'd be pulled right into your world.
All in all my only gripe was the recording quality and length of the intro. Although on my second time through I didn't have a problem with the intro. This was knowing that the song would pick up, though. I didn't hear any mistakes (maybe one near the ending, but that could've been an accidently and it added flavor nonetheless haha). I think I'm going to put a recommendation in the underdog list for this song. 0.85 score is just stupid considering the song itself.
Well either way, this is going on the favs, as are you. I apologize for a long review, but I thought the length of the song cried out for an equally lengthy review. Great job!
WHOEVER LISTENS: Give the intro it's time and let the song develop, it's beautiful.
Hell yea....
A very very very nice review at last. I think it was the most constructive one since the ones from HybrisHybrid..... :).
I wouldn't mind if someone would adapt it with strings as I would be interested in the outcome^^.
I'm glad you went past the intro because it's as you say.
I think it's like a book. If the introduction interests you, you might read the whole book.
On the other hand if the introduction is long and/or boring you might stop reading it. But if someone who read the book comes and says that the book is good you might read it again and this time read it through.
I hope you know what I'm talking about^^.
About those accidentals.... Sometimes they create the most awesome parts and sometimes they destroy the piece. So it's kinda luck ;). But I can't force luck since my songs are played in one take so there is no editing. One big mistake and I can start anew^^.
Also the recording quality was, is and will always be an issue that I can't fix easily. Moreover my piano is old as well and restoring it would be much too expensive ;).
Anyway again a big thanks for your time and the analythical review!
If it interests you you can hear "Into the Dark" as well since it should represent the "opposite" or the "complement" to this song.

The following table describes the commands for managing system processes.
Table 10-1 Commands for Managing Processes
The ps command enables you to check the status of active processes on a system, as well as display technical information about the processes. This data is useful for administrative tasks, such as determining how to set process priorities.
Depending on which options you use, the ps command reports the following information:
Current status of the process
Process ID
Parent process ID
User ID
Scheduling class
Address of the process
Memory used
CPU time used
The following table describes some fields that are reported by the ps command. Which fields are displayed depend on which option you choose. For a description of all available options, see the ps(1) man page.
Table 10-2 Summary of Fields in ps Reports
You can display detailed information about the processes that are listed in the /proc directory by using process commands. The following table lists the /proc process commands. The /proc directory is also known as the process file system (PROCFS). Images of active processes are stored here by their process ID number.
Table 10-3 Process Commands (/proc)
For more information, see proc(1).
The process tools are similar to some options of the ps command, except that the output that is provided by these commands is more detailed.
In general, the process commands do the following:
Display more information about processes, such as fstat and fcntl, working directories, and trees of parent and child processes.
Provide control over processes by allowing users to stop or resume them.
You can display detailed, technical information about processes or control active processes by using some of the process commands. Table 10-3 lists some of the /proc commands.
If a process becomes trapped in an endless loop, or if the process takes too long to execute, you might want to stop (kill) the process. For more information about stopping processes using the kill or the pkill command, see Chapter 10, Managing System Processes (Tasks).
The /proc file system is a directory hierarchy that contains additional subdirectories for state information and control functions.
The /proc file system also provides an xwatchpoint facility that is used to remap read-and-write permissions on the individual pages of a process's address space. This facility has no restrictions and is MT-safe.
Debugging tools have been modified to use /proc's xwatchpoint facility, which means that the entire xwatchpoint process is faster.
The following restrictions have been removed when you set xwatchpoints by using the dbx debugging tool:
Setting xwatchpoints on local variables on the stack due to SPARC based system register windows.
Setting xwatchpoints on multithreaded processes.
For more information, see the proc(4), and mdb(1) man pages.
$ ps [-efc]
Displays only the processes that are associated with your login session.
Displays full information about all the processes that are being executed on the system.
Displays process scheduler information.
Example 10-1 Listing Processes
The following example shows output from the ps command when no options are used.
$ ps PID TTY TIME COMD 1664 pts/4 0:06 csh 2081 pts/4 0:00 ps
The following example shows output from the ps -ef command. This output shows that the first process that is executed when the system boots is sched (the swapper) followed by the init process, pageout, and so on.
$ ps -ef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 0 0 0 18:04:04 ? 0:15 sched root 5 0 0 18:04:03 ? 0:05 zpool-rpool root 1 0 0 18:04:05 ? 0:00 /sbin/init root 2 0 0 18:04:05 ? 0:00 pageout root 3 0 0 18:04:05 ? 2:52 fsflush root 6 0 0 18:04:05 ? 0:02 vmtasks daemon 739 1 0 19:03:58 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/nfs4cbd root 9 1 0 18:04:06 ? 0:14 /lib/svc/bin/svc.startd root 11 1 0 18:04:06 ? 0:45 /lib/svc/bin/svc.configd daemon 559 1 0 18:04:49 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpcbind netcfg 47 1 0 18:04:19 ? 0:01 /lib/inet/netcfgd dladm 44 1 0 18:04:17 ? 0:00 /sbin/dlmgmtd netadm 51 1 0 18:04:22 ? 0:01 /lib/inet/ipmgmtd root 372 338 0 18:04:43 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq root 67 1 0 18:04:30 ? 0:02 /lib/inet/in.mpathd root 141 1 0 18:04:38 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/pfexecd netadm 89 1 0 18:04:31 ? 0:03 /lib/inet/nwamd root 602 1 0 18:04:50 ? 0:02 /usr/lib/inet/inetd start root 131 1 0 18:04:35 ? 0:01 /sbin/dhcpagent daemon 119 1 0 18:04:33 ? 0:00 /lib/crypto/kcfd root 333 1 0 18:04:41 ? 0:07 /usr/lib/hal/hald --daemon=yes root 370 338 0 18:04:43 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-network-discovery root 159 1 0 18:04:39 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd root 236 1 0 18:04:40 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/ldoms/drd root 535 1 0 18:04:46 ? 0:09 /usr/sbin/nscd root 305 1 0 18:04:40 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/zones/zonestatd root 326 1 0 18:04:41 ? 0:03 /usr/lib/devfsadm/devfsadmd root 314 1 0 18:04:40 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/dbus-daemon --system . . .
# pgrep process
where process is the name of the process you want to display more information about.
The process ID is displayed in the first column of the output.
# /usr/bin/pcommand pid
Is the (/proc) command that you want to run. Table 10-3 lists and describes these commands.
Identifies the process ID.
Example 10-2 Displaying Information About Processes
The following example shows how to use process commands to display more information about a cron process.
# pgrep cron 1 4780 # pwdx 4780 2 4780: /var/spool/cron/atjobs # ptree 4780 3 4780 /usr/sbin/cron # pfiles 4780 4 4780: /usr/sbin/cron Current rlimit: 256 file descriptors 0: S_IFCHR mode:0666 dev:290,0 ino:6815752 uid:0 gid:3 rdev:13,2 O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE /devices/pseudo/mm@0:null 1: S_IFREG mode:0600 dev:32,128 ino:42054 uid:0 gid:0 size:9771 O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE /var/cron/log 2: S_IFREG mode:0600 dev:32,128 ino:42054 uid:0 gid:0 size:9771 O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE /var/cron/log 3: S_IFIFO mode:0600 dev:32,128 ino:42049 uid:0 gid:0 size:0 O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE /etc/cron.d/FIFO 4: S_IFIFO mode:0000 dev:293,0 ino:4630 uid:0 gid:0 size:0 O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK 5: S_IFIFO mode:0000 dev:293,0 ino:4630 uid:0 gid:0 size:0 O_RDWR
Obtains the process ID for the cron process
Displays the current working directory for the cron process
Displays the process tree that contains the cron process
Displays fstat and fcntl information
# pgrep process
where process is the name of the process you want to control.
The process ID displayed in the first column of the output.
# /usr/bin/pcommand pid
Is the process (/proc) command that you want to run. Table 10-3 lists and describes these commands.
Identifies the process ID.
# ps -ef | grep pid
Sometimes, you might need to stop (kill) a process. The process might be in an endless loop. Or, you might have started a large job that you want to stop before it is completed. You can kill any process that you own. Superuser can kill any process in the system except for those processes with process IDs of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Killing these processes most likely will crash the system.
For more information, see the pgrep(1) and pkill(1) and kill(1) man pages.
$ pgrep process
where process is the name of the process that you want to terminate.
For example:
$ pgrep netscape 587 566
The process ID is displayed in the output.
Note - To obtain process information about a Sun Ray, use the following commands:
# ps -fu user
This command lists all user processes.
# ps -fu user | grep process
This command locates a specific process for a user.
$ pkill [signal] process
When no signal is included in the pkill command-line syntax, the default signal that is used is –15 (SIGKILL). Using the –9 signal (SIGTERM) with the pkill command ensures that the process terminates promptly. However, the –9 signal should not be used to kill certain processes, such as a database process, or an LDAP server process. The result is that data might be lost.
Is the name of the process to stop.
Tip - When using the pkill command to terminate a process, first try using the command by itself, without including a signal option. Wait a few minutes to see if the process terminates before using the pkill command with the -9 signal.
$ pgrep process
The process you terminated should no longer be listed in the output of the pgrep command.
# ps -fu user
where user is the user that you want to display processes for.
The process ID is displayed in the first column of the output.
# kill [signal-number] pid
When no signal is included in the kill command-line syntax, the default signal that is used is –15 (SIGKILL). Using the –9 signal (SIGTERM) with the kill command ensures that the process terminates promptly. However, the –9 signal should not be used to kill certain processes, such as a database process, or an LDAP server process. The result is that data might be lost.
Is the process ID of the process that you want to terminate.
Tip - When using the kill command to stop a process, first try using the command by itself, without including a signal option. Wait a few minutes to see if the process terminates before using the kill command with the -9 signal.
$ pgrep pid
The process you terminated should no longer be listed in the output of the pgrep command.
The pargs command and the preap command improve process debugging. The pargs command prints the arguments and environment variables that are associated with a live process or core file. The preap command removes defunct (zombie) processes. A zombie process has not yet had its exit status claimed by its parent. These processes are generally harmless but can consume system resources if they are numerous. You can use the pargs and preap commands to examine any process that you have the privileges to examine. As superuser, you can examine any process.
For information about using the preap command, see the preap(1) man page. For information about the using the pargs command, see the pargs(1) man page. See also, the proc(1) man page.
Example 10-3 Debugging a Process (pargs)
The pargs command solves a long-standing problem of being unable to display with the ps command all the arguments that are passed to a process. The following example shows how to use the pargs command in combination with the pgrep command to display the arguments that are passed to a process.
# pargs `pgrep ttymon` 579: /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p system-name console login: -T sun -d /dev/console -l argv[0]: /usr/lib/saf/ttymon argv[1]: -g argv[2]: -h argv[3]: -p argv[4]: system-name console login: argv[5]: -T argv[6]: sun argv[7]: -d argv[8]: /dev/console argv[9]: -l argv[10]: console argv[11]: -m argv[12]: ldterm,ttcompat 548: /usr/lib/saf/ttymon argv[0]: /usr/lib/saf/ttymon
The following example shows how to use the pargs -e command to display the environment variables that are associated with a process.
$ pargs -e 6763 6763: tcsh envp[0]: DISPLAY=:0.0

Wheelchair form and function rolled to new heights at this year's International Robotics Exhibition in Tokyo, where the Japanese-based company Nano Optonics Energy introduced two new models of a caterpillar track wheelchair that add style to every mile for wheelchair users.
The line of chairs is called UNiMO, or Unique Mobility, and the leading-edge, micro electric vehicle (EV) drivetrain itself, which powers the chairs, is going to be provided to third-party manufacturers seeking to create their own micro EVs from the technology.
At $18,000, the higher priced of the two wheelchairs is called the UNiMO Grace, and it's something of a sports car for wheelchair users. Described as having "Apple-esque" lines, the Grace is quite literally an easy chair on caterpillar tracks, along with many digital features, including an embedded USB port for powering or charging a smartphone or tablet. It comes in black, white, or brushed aluminum models, has the capability to tilt the seat up to 30 degrees to aid in getting into and out of the chair independently, and it sports a lockable trunk.
For the more economy-minded consumer, Nano offers the UNiMO Adventure at $10,000. This chair is driven by the same caterpillar track micro EV drivetrain, but because it's just slightly lighter both in physical weight and features, it offers marginally better performance from the drive.
This particular model is designed to be a workhorse, without luxury side panels to get scratched or the lower ground clearance of the more expensive Grace. While the Grace might be optimal for moving around the home or shopping mall, the Adventure is better suited for general outdoors mobility and overall functionality.
Since both models use the same motor and drive system, both sport the same 3.7 mph top speed, both are able to navigate open ground, lawn, snow, mud, go up and down curbs, or even a sandy beach. Both make it easier to handle steep hills, cobblestone, and even getting on and off of trains, as well as handling those minor bumps and cracks that can cause such a headache for wheelchair users.
These two models have regenerative braking, and their lithium ion battery system is good for approximately 12 miles of travel. The narrow width and tight turning radius (the UNiMO can turn a full 180 degrees while remaining within its own footprint) mean that navigating narrow aisles while shopping at the mall or grocery store, or maneuvering in elevators will no longer be as much of a problem.
While not the first or highest-end version of a caterpillar-driven wheelchair (the Ziesel came before), this particular personal mobility option costs far less than its higher-end counterpart, and they're both now available for sale. This development could herald a new era in personal mobility, especially for the more cost-minded consumer. Watch this demonstration of the UNiMO Grace from Japan. Do either of these new wheelchair technology wonders have your seal of approval?

King, Greenwood distance selves from field with new JFK standards
By ANDREW MASON | firstname.lastname@example.com
November 18, 2012
A milestone day at the oldest and largest ultramarathon in the country had fitting results, as Max King and Ellie Greenwood set course records at the 50th annual JFK 50 Mile on Saturday. King, 32, of Bend, Ore., conquered the 50.2-mile course - which started in Boonsboro and finished in Williamsport - in 5 hours, 34 minutes and 58 seconds. He averaged 6:42 per mile to top the field of roughly 1,000 runners. Trent Briney, 34, of Boulder, Colo., finished second in 5:37:56, also dipping under the previous course-record time of 5:40:45, set last year by David Riddle, who finished third this year in 5:45:13.
Faith fuels Hagerstown man through JFK 50 Mile
By DAVE MCMILLION | email@example.com
November 14, 2011
As a runner, Gil Crumrine draws much of his motivation from his faith in God. The Hagerstown man has made several mission trips to Africa, and recalls that his fastest times in the JFK 50 Mile came after his first trip to the country in 2005. Not only was Crumrine impressed by the number of talented distance runners in countries like Kenya and Ethiopia, but he came to appreciate the people's simple way of life. Crumrine, 58, said he felt like he was honoring the great runners of Africa when he finished the 2005 JFK 50 Mile in 10:48.
'The JFK's the one'

November 17, 2006
Ian Torrence has run about as many miles at the JFK 50 Mile ultramarathon as he travels each year to get to the race, it almost seems. Maybe one of these years, he'll reach his destination - the winner's circle in Williamsport. "I'd love to win the race," said Torrence, 34, of Flagstaff, Ariz. "I want to win this race. " Torrence, one of more than 1,000 competitors entered in Saturday's 44th annual JFK 50 Mile, will be running the race for the 13th straight year - still searching for his first victory.
JFK tests runners
by PEPPER BALLARD

WASHINGTON COUNTY - Bronchitis didn't keep Julie Presas from running her first JFK 50 Mile ultramarathon on Saturday, but for nearly 11 hours, it forced the seasoned runner to cough and wheeze her way over hills, through trails and across paved roads. Despite her tightening chest and the fact she gave up Ohio State vs. Michigan football tickets to run the race, Presas crossed the finish line smiling. "I'm happy. I'm thrilled, but I never want to do it again," the 39-year-old Columbus, Ohio, woman said.

"Bucket list" was a term that came up when Mary Ellis and her daughter-in-law, Vicki Ellis, talked about why they wanted to tackle the JFK 50 Mile ultramarathon. "My husband passed away in 2010 and it was a sudden passing," Mary Ellis said. The death of her husband, Daniel, at age 60, prompted Mary to contemplate a bucket list - things she'd like to accomplish in life. While Mary, 63, and Vicki, 42, don't have actual written bucket lists, they've talked about running together for the grueling JFK 50 Mile.

Editor's note: This is the fourth story in a five-part series about some of the people who will compete in the JFK 50 Mile ultramarathon Saturday in Washington County. Waylan Showe's approach to running long distances is far from regimented. A few years ago, he was so impressed with people who can run a 50-mile race in one day, he decided to try it himself. He had only run short distances, such as in gym class, but he wasn't intimidated. He signed up for the JFK 50 Mile and started running - whenever he could, however far he felt he could go that day. He didn't set a specific training schedule or goal.

The Washington County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday that the county again will pay for the county's sheriff's department to provide traffic control and emergency assistance for the annual JFK 50 Mile ultramarathon, scheduled this year for Nov. 20. Based on past years, officials expect the event to require about 88 hours of sheriff's department coverage at a cost of about $3,960, race director Mike Spinnler said. The JFK 50 is the largest, oldest and most prestigious ultramarathon in North America, said Tom Riford, president and CEO of the Hagerstown-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Fond memories of the JFK 50 Mile ultramarathon from its founder and original runners

View streaming video from the finish line at Springfield Middle School from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday online at www.herald-mail.com . On the nightstand of Buzz Sawyer's room in Somerford Place is a copy of "The Flying Scotsman," a book about the Olympic runner Eric Liddell, and copies of Track & Field Magazine. "Born to Run" and "The Perfect Mile" are in his bookcase, along with an All-America cross country award from 1954, and the walls are crowded with framed photos and newspaper clippings of a life spent on the run. At 83, William Joseph "Buzz" Sawyer Jr., the founder of the JFK 50 Mile, has slowed a bit and a walker stands by his chair, but he hopes to be at the dinner Friday night before the 50th running of the race and, possibly, there to see the finish Saturday.
