You're the development editor for Time Inc. and
previously the editor of Sports Illustrated Women and creative director of
Outside magazine. But the idea for the book did not grow out of an assignment.
What drew you to this story?
As a journalist I'm always trolling for compelling stories, but in this case, the story came to me. I was living in Santa Fe, New Mexico (a truly land-locked place), working for Outside magazine, and I had developed a raging case of mononucleosis. As a result, I was spending much more time than usual lying around, and one day while I was doing just that, I flipped on the TV and found myself watching the most extraordinary BBC documentary. In the book, I describe the action onscreen in detail but, ...

Balearic family holidays: Rustic Menorca
Spain's Balearic islands welcome young families with open arms - and away from the crowds each oozes individual charm, says Ali Horsfall
Rustic Menorca
What's not to love about this understated and suprisingly rural island? With two charming cities perched east and west, and quaint seaside villages peppered in between, it's a great getaway when you have little tots in tow.
Cala Galdana in the south has a family-friendly beach – spend a go-slow day in this sheltered horseshoe bay. For less-crowded sands, just take a woodland walk to nearby Macarella. Then, when you're bored with beach play, pack a picnic and head to Mahon's Es Freginal Park, where you'll find a large children's playground hidden away in the centre of the pretty gardens.
If seafood's your thing, a visit to Café Balear (cafe-balear.com) in Moorish Ciutadella's port is a must. Enjoy a relaxed lunch of lobster, monkfish or prawns – all caught daily on the restaurant's own fishing boa
Surrounded by vineyards, chic Torralbenc in Alaior will make you swoon. The traditional farmhouse has been turned into a cool collection of whitewashed rooms and cottages, with authentic charm but bags of style. There's a top-notch restaurant, mini meals for tots, plenty of space for outdoor play, and should you crave a beach, the cove of Cala'n Porter is a ten-minute drive away. Doubles from £140.
Don't miss
Swing by Fornells, the characterful, orange tree-lined fishing village on the north coast. Take a glass-bottomed boat trip – seeing marine life swimming under you will get a thumbs-up from the kids.
Visit the unspoilt S'Albufera des Grau nature reserve and you can roam around the natural park spotting birds and wildlife as you go. Afterwards, roll in the dunes and play in the sea at Es Grau beach – the safe shallow waters here are excellent for paddling.
Have a mooch in Mahon, the island's buzzy capital. There's a maze of narrow streets to explore, stunning architecture and a beautiful harbour for a bit of luxury boat-spotting. For a waterside meal and early evening stroll, visit nearby Es Castell, with its two rustic harbours.

An intelligent terrier cross with a cheeky nature, Denzel oozes character.
Popular among staff at Dogs Trust Shoreham, the loveable three-year-old adores human company.
Tracey Rae, rehoming centre manager, said: "Despite Denzel's seemingly confident exterior, he also has a sensitive side.
"He'd best be suited to a peaceful, adult-only home with a garden of his own to roam about in.
"Always keen to be out and about, this energetic boy would appreciate being taken to quieter walking areas rather than busy parks. Active owners who could spoil Denzel with lots of fun adventures would be perfect for him."
Although happy to share his home with cats, Denzel be the only dog in the household.

'Dirty Bird' Means Welcomes Abel Trujillo to Octagon Sept. 1 at UFC 151
Another contest has been added to the UFC 151 fight bill, promotion officials announced Wednesday, as Tim Means will square off with Octagon newcomer Abel Trujillo at the Sept. 1 event.
UFC 151 takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and is headlined by a light heavyweight title collision between reigning champion Jon Jones and former Strikeforce king Dan Henderson. The evening's main draw airs live on pay-per-view and also features a welterweight showdown between contenders Josh Koscheck and Jake Ellenberger.
Means, 28, performed impressively in his last outing, stopping Justin Salas with strikes in just 66 seconds at UFC on FX 3. The June 8 victory marked the ninth consecutive win for "The Dirty Bird," who is now 2-0 in his Octagon career. Standing 6-feet-2, Means owns 13 of his 18 career victories by way of knockout and has gone to a judges' decision just twice in his eight years as a pro.
Also 28, Trujillo joins the UFC riding a four-fight winning streak. Fighting out of Des Moines, Iowa, Trujillo last competed on June 30, taking a unanimous decision from former Bellator talent Frank Carrillo. The lightweight has already competed three times in 2012, topping Ken Jackson in January and James Edson Berto in April before outpointing Carrillo.

More Facts for Dominionism Denialists
In a second piece, Deeper Background on Dominionism, I reprised a post about discussions of dominionism by Christian scholars. I observed that "the false assertion that that moderate and liberal Christians have been soft on dominionism" has contributed to confusion rather than clarity about dominionism, and that those who make such claims have certainly not been reading Talk to Action, where a number of writers, some religious some not, some Christian some not, have been writing about dominionism, its constituent parts, and its variations for years.
In this post I want to point to an excellent short piece by Baptist historian Bruce Gourley, whose discussion of Christian nationalist "lies" about separation of church and state, I have also posted as part of this series. Gourley's essay "Turning Our Children Into God's Warriors," which I present here in its entirety, originally appeared in the February 2007 edition of the Baptist Studies Bulletin. BSB states we are free to republish, with the appropriate credit of course. (I have included only a few of the many useful links embedded in the original.)

Reading Time: 3 minutes
Cocaine is a street drug that is very powerful and comes at a high price. There are two different forms of cocaine. One of the forms is powdered cocaine, that is also known as "coke" or "blow". The form is called crack cocaine, this is also known as "crack" or "rock". Either of the forms come with different and serious symptoms of cocaine addiction.
1. "Crash"
One of the most common symptoms of cocaine addiction is the "crash." This is a process that takes place once the cocaine wears off. The addict will become very irritable and tired. Their body will be extremely tired due to all of the energy that has exerted while high. They will want to sleep for extremely long periods of time once the "crash" process has started.
2. Nasal Problems
Nasal problems are very common among a cocaine addict. Since the drug can be snorted, the drug will cause many problems in the nasal passage. They will start to have a runny nose, develop swallowing problems and can lose their sense of smell completely.
3. Paranoia
Cocaine is one of the drugs that can cause paranoia. While the person is on the drug, their brain will become confused and they will start to think everyone is out to get them. They won't want to be in large groups or in public very often. It is common for them to want to stay home for long periods of time unless they need to go get more of the drug.
4. Skin Infections
Skin infections is one of the symptoms of cocaine addiction that can be very noticeable to the other people. Skin infections can be caused due to needle injection of the drug. The person will have sores or "track marks". These areas can become severely infected and lead to more serious skin infections that can spread throughout the body.
5. Heart Related Problems
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, another one of the symptoms of cocaine addiction is when the person starts to have heart related problems without any family or personal health related history. Cocaine can cause tearing of the major artery and can cause a stroke. Also, if the person has high blood pressure, they are at high risk for a heart attack.
6. Dramatic Weight Loss
While a person is using cocaine, they will often have a loss of appetite. This will cause them to lose large amount of weight in a very short amount of time. When the body isn't getting the nutrients that it needs, other major health related problems may start to occur, as well.
7. Withdrawal
Withdrawal is another one of the symptoms of cocaine addiction. The drug can cause the person to become distant from loved ones and close friends. Since the drug is causing them to think differently, they will become very depressed and not want to communicate with people who care for them.
8. Sexual Transmitted Diseases (STD)
Cocaine is also related to STD's. Cocaine can cause the addict to think irrationally and cause them to have unprotected sex and use dirty needles. When an addict shares needles, they have a higher chance of contracting HIV than a person who doesn't use the drug.
9. Legal Problems
Legal problems are another one of the serious symptoms of cocaine addiction. When a person is desires the drug and they are low on the funds to provide it, they will go to any distance to to get it. This is even true if it means committing a crime to get the money. The drug also can cause confusion and the person can get into a lot of trouble while high and not in the right state of mind.
10. Memory Loss
One of the worst symptoms of cocaine addiction is when it causes memory loss. Cocaine travels through the bloodstream and into the brain. The drug will interfere with the neurotransmitters and can cause serious damage to the brain, how it functions and it's memory.

I have always loved the start of fall - and I even welcome the realization that flip-flops can no longer be my default choice of footwear and I have to reach for a sweater instead of a tank top. To me, there's something so renewing and enticing about the change in seasons. Ripe summer berries are no longer present in my grocery bag and instead, I'm creating meals that are based around root vegetables and at least once a week, a big pot of soup or stew is simmering away on my stove.
Oh soup. How I love thee.
I've always thought that the trick to a really great soup (besides ample simmer time and seasoning it properly) is to add at least one surprising ingredient or component to the mix. Bonus points if there are two, but it shouldn't be much more than that. Soup, after all, should be kept simple, but that doesn't mean that it has to be boring. I find that the addition of a few surprise ingredients is what keeps things interesting and begs people to ask the question, in between hearty slurps and satisfied grins, what is in here?
With this soup, the two elements of surprise are purple sweet potatoes, which taste like regular sweet potatoes but are purple (fun!), and Harissa, a spicy paste of mixed peppers and spices that hail from Africa. (For the locals: both of these items can be found at Russo's in Watertown.) Fear not if you can't find these two ingredients though, a regular sweet potato will do just fine and you can swap the Harissa for another spicy component - chipotle or any hot sauce you may have on hand. But if you can find this duo, give them a try. Not only are the colors fantastic, but the flavors are really something.
This soup gets it's hardiness from a wide array of vegetables - sweet potatoes, leeks, carrots, parsnips and spinach, its richness from two sweet Italian sausage links and its body from lentils that were thrown in at the last minute to help thicken it up. When making this soup, I suggest you make extra; you'll want to enjoy the leftovers.
Purple Sweet Potato Vegetable Soup with Sausage
- 2 Sweet Sausage Links, casings removed
- 1 purple sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 3-4 parsnips, chopped
- 1 large carrot, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 leek, white part only, washed and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup lentils, rinsed
- 1/2 bag baby spinach
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Harissa - to taste
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat a large stock pot on medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil and add sausage. Allow it to brown on all side and break it up into small bits. Add all of the vegetables (except the spinach) and cover generously with water and add the rosemary. Season the water with salt and add the Harissa to taste, cover and let simmer (do not boil). Just before the vegetables are done, add the lentils and let them simmer until just done. Add the spinach, check for seasoning before serving.

Have you ever used Google Alerts? For the uninitiated, Google Alerts is a service that allows you to be sent emails on any new results such as web pages, news articles, blog and, well, anything else that crop up for your given search terms. It's particularly useful for staying up to date with any subject that you are carefully watching and it can be particularly useful when it comes to saving yourself some £s.
First of all, have a look at this short and simple guide on how to set up effective Google alerts, then have a read of our suggestion on how to use Alerts to save you time and money every day.
Bag yourself a bargain…
For the exact item that you have your heart set on buying. This is where Google Alerts comes into its own. You can create an alert using the name of the item, the brand and any other features that you are looking for (like size or colour). Then, once Google finds any new news featuring your search terms, you'll get an email letting you know straight away. So all you need to do is sit back and watch the deals roll in.
Never miss a flash sale again
Make sure you set up alerts to keep an eye on any exclusive sales, short-term money off deals or any other offer from your favourite stores. Use search terms including the name of your chosen store and words like 'sale', 'discount', 'free delivery' and 'discount code'. You can also use it to alert you to price drops – so when the new watch you've had your eye on comes into your price range, you'll know about it instantly.
Find reliable product reviews
Imagine you're on the hunt for a laptop and you've found two that are similar in price and spec, but you are not sure which is better? You'll want to get some more information and read some honest reviews about which one is the right one for you. Using the alerts, you can create a situation that finds you all the relevant reviews, and can even find you specific reviews and comparisons, that lets you make an informed decision on which laptop to buy.
Once you have managed to find what you need (and saved mega-bucks in the process), don't forget to cancel or change your alerts. You don't want to be swamped with alerts that are no longer needed or useful, so adjust them to stop or change the frequency of the emails you receive. If you are using Google alerts correctly, you shouldn't be burdened by hundreds of notifications, but delivered great money-saving emails instead.

This project was from when I was living in an apartment and wanted to make a planter to hang on the balcony. I made this with some scrap yarn, a pencil, a empty 2 liter pop bottle and a sheet of paper towel.
First I made a "self-watering pot". Start by cutting a pop bottle in half. Then stuff the bottleneck with rolled up paper towel so that the ends go up into the bottle and down out of the opening. Invert the top half of the bottle and stick it into bottom half. Then plant a swiss chard seed (optional)
Then crochet this sock. Easier done than said. Its crocheted around and around (not rows) and both colors are attached but you only crochet one at a time. Its shaped by simple increases. Once its long enough I went back and forth to make the strap. I finished the top with a triangle edging and added a tassel to the bottom.
Here is how I hooked the strap to the railing

Wigan Athletic owner Dave Whelan claimed "Jewish people chase money" and that it isn't offensive to use the word "chink" to refer to a Chinese person in an interview with The Guardian published Thursday.
In an interview with The Guardian that was published Thursday, Wigan Athletic owner Dave Whelan claimed "Jewish people chase money" and that it isn't offensive to use the word "chink" to refer to a Chinese person.
Whelan made the comments while defending the hiring of Malky Mackay as new Wigan manager.
Mackay was embroiled in a racism controversy earlier this year when it was revealed that the ex-Cardiff City boss sent numerous offensive text messages and emails to ex-Cardiff head of recruitment Iain Moody while the pair were at the club, a revelation that cost Mackay a job at Crystal Palace. The messages, which Mackay later referred to as "banter," were racist, sexist and homophobic in nature.
In response to alleged anti-Semitic messages Mackay sent, Whelan defended the comments. "The Jews don't like losing money," he told The Guardian. "Nobody likes losing money."
• English FA apologizes for anti-IRA chants
More from The Guardian:
Asked whether he did not think what Mackay said was offensive, because the claim that Jews "love money" has been used as a negative stereotype, Whelan said: "Do you think Jewish people chase money a little bit more than we do? I think they are very shrewd people." Asked if he himself believed that, Whelan, the multimillionaire former owner of JJB Sports, said yes: "I think Jewish people do chase money more than everybody else. I don't think that's offensive at all."
Whelan said he did not think there was "a lot wrong" with anything Mackay said, and there was no malice or disrespect in the statement about Smith. He added: "It's telling the truth. Jewish people love money, English people love money; we all love money."
The owner's comments drew a rebuke from former FA and Premier League official Simon Johnson, who is chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council.
"Unfortunately Mr. Mackay and now Mr. Whelan have referred to some of the worst old-fashioned tropes which have been used in the past as the basis of anti-semitism and stereotyping of Jewish people," Johnson told The Guardian. "Mackay used offensive language to insult a fellow participant in football using a tawdry racial stereotype."
Whelan also defended Mackay's use of the word "chink," a racial slur directed at Chinese people. He claimed the word is not offensive and said that he had used the word many times.
"If any Englishman said he has never called a Chinaman a chink he is lying," Whelan said to The Guardian. "There is nothing bad about doing that."
Mackay was hired by Wigan on Wednesday, despite the fact that the Football Association is currently investigating the manager for the text message scandal.
On Thursday, Premier Range -- one of Wigan's shirt sponsors -- backed out of its contract with the club due to its hiring of Mackay as manager.
Wigan has 16 points through 17 English Championship matches. The club is in 22nd place and is currently in the relegation zone.

Bleak dark days, it's terrible, the financial time of plenty is over, and it's gonna be hard, harder than it was, woe woe woe...
All true.
Nevertheless, life was never easy. In the last 10-15 years, we had a boom time, and things aren't going to be that easy after the great recession, which ain't over, and we're slipping back into.
But I worked my ass off through the boom time and came out making less than my bills anyway. I had to shake my money maker to break even. I may have squandered away opportunities I missed at the time, in honest ignorance, missed the boat, missed the fad.
But so the fuck what?
The same principles that made money in rich times make money in poor times. Apply what you've learned in the spiritual worlds to your physical life, and make some bank, if that's what you need.
Money isn't shit to the magician. That ain't why we're here. Focus on the End Goal, and you'll find money is just ... I mean, it's as common as dirt. You want money, you work for it. There are patterns that work, A+B=C and shit. Jason's just written a Sorcerer's guide to money, Financial Sorcery. I haven't had friggin' time to read it (because I decided to spend 18 lame-ass months making money to launch my international occult rock star career), but if it's anything like Strategic Sorcery, or his Financial Magic talks I've seen at Crucible, dude, you can't lose. He lays shit out practically, focused on the things that work, and he names names to call on for help.
Money's easy. Especially for magicians.
It's time that's the motherfucker.

Snakes are getting an unfair reputation
Snakes and other creepy crawlers might be getting a bad rap.
Of the 1,610 people in the United States who were killed in encounters with animals from 2008 to 2015, 478 were killed by hornets, wasps or bees, and 272 by dogs, according to a study published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine. Snakes, spiders and scorpions were responsible for 99 deaths in those years.
Only six people a year died from snakebites, and six after being bitten by a venomous spider. But 95 children younger than 10 were killed by dogs over the eight years. The fatality rate from dog attacks on children younger than 4 was twice as high as for people older than 65, and four times higher than that of other age groups.

I'm off to Sydney tomorrow to spend some time with the family. Leaving behind the K-Dog, Ivy and her ubiquitous 'workbook', and Ted, who's lately taken to carrying a 'pirate handbag'.
I think this is because his only frame of pirate reference is Captain Feathersword, who likes to tickle his acquaintances with a giant pink feather. I think the Wiggles will have a lot of damn explaining to do in future years should Ted's generation of youngsters find themselves on the Somalian high seas.
I'm checking out for a few days.
Happy weekending to you all.

Aston Villa kept their third successive clean sheet on their travels with a determined defensive display during a bore draw with West Ham at Upton Park.
But Paul Lambert's men also made it four games without a Premier League goal as an uninspiring match booked last spot on tonight's Match of the Day.
Christian Benteke had the best chance, hitting the crossbar with a second half header and the top scorer also forced a late save from Jussi Jaaskelainen.
West Ham enjoyed more possession and territory, but struggled to hurt their visitors until Brad Guzan produced an injury time stop to deny substitute Joe Cole.
Andi Weimann was unable to convert Aston Villa's best breaks during a first half in which Paul Lambert's men spent most of their time on the defensive.
Weimann went shoulder to shoulder with James Tomkins after Ashley Westwood intercepted Winston Reid's clearance and floated a measured pass over the top, but his sixth minute shot under pressure was saved by Jussi Jaaskelainen.
If the Austrian striker was frustrated then, he was furious on 17 minutes when he felt Ravel Morrison illegally denied him a goalscoring opportunity from a rapid Villa counter-attack.
Weimann sprinted half the pitch to reach Ciaran Clark's clearance, but Morrison showed great desire to track back and match his opponent stride for stride.
The pair tangled just outside the Hammers area and Weimann felt he had been held back unfairly by the former Blues loanee, but referee Howard Webb waved play on.
Villa, lining up in a 3-5-2 formation, spent much of the first periof pinned back in their own half, but Sam Allardyce's team were unable to turn their possession into real pressure.
Although West Ham, who were again playing without a recognised centre forward, created a couple of half chances, they never overly troubled Brad Guzan.
Jack Collison and Kevin Nolan scuffed shots inside the area and former Villa winger Stewart Downing stung the keeper's hands with a drive which was straight at him.
Matt Jarvis also had an effort blocked after Clark made a hash of a clearance and Collinson flashed a quick free-kick just wide before he and Nolan failed to convert a dangerous ball from the right.
During a second-half, which like the first, was not a great advert for Premier League football, Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock when Benteke hit the woodwork on 72 minutes.
Matt Lowton delivered a dangerous ball from the right and Benteke rose highest to meet it with a firm header, but the Belgian's effort rattled the crossbar.
Moments later the Hammers spurned their best opportunity of the second period when Downing slotted in Nolan but he fired a near post shot into the side netting.
Villa's frustrating afternoon had already taken a disappointing turn for the worse when Weimann limped off just after the re-start with a hamstring problem.
His replacement was Libor Kozak but the big Czech was unable to do much to boost Villa's hopes of breaching West Ham's goal.
Benteke went close against in the dying moments when he latched onto Ron Vlaar's long sweeping pass and drilled a low shot towards the right corner, which was well saved by Jaaskelainen.
In injury time it was Guzan's turn to be Villa's saviour when Hammers substitute Joe Cole spun in the box and hit a low shot which the American saved at his near post.
It could be an important away point for Villa, who wore their green third kit to avoid a colour clash with West Ham's traditional claret and blue.
But the 3,000 travelling fans would have welcomed a little more excitement against a Hammers side whose home record is just as bad as Villa's form at Villa Park.
West Ham (4-4-1-1): Jaaskelainen, Demel, Tomkins, Reid, Rat (Diame 90); Downing, Noble, Collison (C Cole 62), Jarvis (J Cole 62); Morrison; Nolan. Subs: Adrian, O'Brien, Potts, Maiga.
Villa (3-5-2): Guzan, Vlaar, Baker, Clark; Lowton, Sylla, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Bacuna; Weimann (Kozak 57), Benteke. Subs: Steer, Helenius, Herd, Bowery, Tonev, Johnson.

Kozlak's Royal Oak is saying goodbye. Soon.
Co-owners Mark and Lynn Satt have announced that the doors will close following dinner service on March 15.
The couple owns the 36-year-old business but not the building, which is being demolished and replaced by a senior housing complex.
Two other dates of note: On March 8, Mark Satt's band the JimTones are going to play a final party (Satt is the group's drummer), and the restaurant's last brunch is March 9.
As for a new location, "We're still looking," said Lynn Satt. "We thought we had something but it fell through last week. What we'd really like to do is join up with an existing restaurant and run it. We have such a fabulous staff here, and we want to take them with us."
Interested in buying a Kozlak's memento? A number of the restaurant's fixtures will be auctioned off here.

So...I'm planning a trip over to the dark side this weekend. Yes. The Dark Side. See, I picked up a non-fiction book from the library earlier this week. I did mention I was going over to the Dark Side, didn't I? So...non-fiction....scary. Not very escapist IMHO. But, the unnamed expert recommended this book - Trapped In The Mirror (Elan Golomb) - after our fraud discussion so I figured it was worth a look. I'll be interested to see what it says.
So, do you ever venture over to the dark side?

Not very often. I don't enjoy reading nonfiction.ReplyDelete
Ditto *grin* Actually, this is the first in...years...lots of years :)ReplyDelete
Nah, I don't enjoy non-fiction very much either. Sometimes I have to read something for my work, but that's work you know?ReplyDelete
Good luck with your trip over to the Dark Side. ;D
Unfortunately, I have to for school. It is dark over there.ReplyDelete
Janna - this book is kind of part of my Walkabout. So far it's been...enlightening...ReplyDelete
heidenkind - :( Here's hoping you have plenty of non-dark-side time!

China's Lenovo Group, on track to become the world's top maker of personal computers, reported a record quarterly profit, up by a third from a year earlier, as it gained more share in the PC market and made inroads in the smartphone business.
The ThinkPad maker, also China's No. 2 smartphone vendor, said on Wednesday net profit in its October-December third quarter had risen to $204.9 million.
That beat the average estimate of $178.4 million in a Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S poll of 11 analysts and exceeded its previous record of around $172 million in the three months ended December 2007.
Lenovo has rapidly gained market share in the PC sector on the back of acquisitions over the past few years. The company trails Hewlett Packard by a slim margin in PC shipments, according to technology research group IDC.
As PC demand growth slows, Lenovo has been diversifying into the mobile device sector to tap robust demand for smartphones and tablets, particularly at home in China, the world's biggest market for mobile phones and personal computers.
(Read More: Could This Chinese Firm Become RIM's White Knight?)
"In my opinion, Lenovo's strategy in mobile devices is that it will focus initially on the overseas markets that it's most familiar with and this includes emerging markets," Eve Jung, an analyst at Nomura Equity Research.
"However, it will face challenges in the sector as companies like Acer and Asustek roll out cheaper tablet PC models to aggressively target markets, such as China, which is Lenovo's traditional stronghold," she said.
In the third quarter, overall revenue grew 12 percent from a year earlier to $9.4 billion, with the bulk coming from its PC business.
About a tenth of its revenues were from its mobile internet and digital home (MIDH) business - mainly consisting of its smartphone sales in China, which jumped 77 percent to $998 million.
The company said its China smartphone business achieved profitability for the first time during the quarter.

Shares of Lenovo rose 36 percent in 2012, outpacing a 23 percent rise in the Hang Seng Index and beating rivals Hewlett Packard, Dell Iand Acer, whose stocks fell last year.
On Wednesday, Lenovo shares closed down 2.7 percent prior to the results announcement, compared with the Hang Seng's 0.7 percent rise.

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Yemen's entire health system is crumbling after months of war, with people dying from lack of medical care even in areas where there is no fighting, said medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).
Before the conflict erupted in March last year, Yemen, one of the world's poorest countries, relied heavily on foreign doctors and imported the bulk of its medical supplies, as well as food and fuel.

- PHOTOS: It was a stylish No Pants Subway Ride 2019 in NYC19 Pictures
Foreign medical staff have since fled, and imports have fallen and become a lot more expensive.
"Even where there is no fighting, people are dying for lack of supplies, because the whole system itself is crumbling after a year of war," Karline Kleijer, MSF's emergency coordinator for Yemen, said in a telephone interview.
Houthi rebels pushed the government into exile in March 2015, triggering an intervention by a Saudi-led military coalition against the Houthi militia with a campaign of air strikes and a ground offensive.
Resulting turmoil has seen militant group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula sweep across the eastern side of Yemen.
A shaky ceasefire, which came into effect in April, has brought some respite from the conflict. But clashes regularly flare up on battlefronts throughout Yemen.
The city of Taiz in the country's west has experienced some of the fiercest fighting.
"The ceasefire does not make any difference (in Taiz)," said Kleijer, speaking from Amsterdam having recently returned from the city.
Although there are fewer air strikes, fighting on the ground continues daily in the city center, she said.
MSF treated some 1,700 people in Taiz for war wounds between March and May, many of them civilians.
The war has killed more than 6,400 people and triggered a severe humanitarian crisis.
Out of Yemen's 28 million people, 21 million need some form of humanitarian aid and more than half the population suffer from malnutrition, according to U.N. figures.
Many have lost their jobs and the cost of food has soared leaving many unable to pay for healthcare.
The United Nations has said parts of Yemen are now close to famine.
Most of the hospitals in Taiz have closed and only about five are still functioning, Kleijer said. They mainly treat war wounds, and can offer very little other care.
Wounded fighters arrive for treatment wearing grenade belts and carrying guns, along with their comrades.
"When there are 20 armed guys who are just coming from the battlefield and are ... scared and angry, and full of adrenaline, that doesn't make you as a doctor or medical professional feel very safe," Kleijer said.
It is not uncommon for them to blame the doctors if a patient dies, she added.
MSF-run health centers impose a ban on all weapons, which is respected. Even so, the threat of weapons remains.
Recently, one heavily wounded man came in for treatment, who suddenly remembered he still had a grenade in his pocket. Someone took it out and accidentally pulled out the pin.
"That was an interesting one," Kleijer said. "We got the Houthis - they managed to sort it out."
Even away from the fighting, people across the country with chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma and hypertension, may die for lack of care, Kleijer said.
The ministry of health pays medical staff salaries in government health facilities but, if its funds are cut, many existing health centers may have to close, she said.
"The health system in Yemen is ... going down faster and faster. And that is of concern because the coping mechanisms which were there are reaching the end of the line," she said.
MSF has been funding several dialysis units which help keep 650 patients alive. But the medical agency says it cannot afford to keep supplying the centers, and unless they can find another funding donor, the patients will die.
"There are a lot diseases ... which in a functioning health system people can (live) with quite easily.
"The minute that stops these people will very quickly need a level of healthcare which is definitely not available, and then they will die."

Trashy Read 2012 #6: Scandal Wears Satin, by Loretta Chase
By now you all know that Loretta Chase is my favorite romance writer. So of course I read her new book, Scandal Wears Satin. It's the second book in a planned trilogy about the Noirot sisters, who own a dress shop in London. The first book, Silk Is for Seduction, was wonderful. It's always a problem when the first book of a trilogy is really, really good. Because the odds are you won't enjoy the next two nearly as much, what with the high expectations that have been set.
That's what happened here. Scandal Wears Satin is certainly enjoyable, as funny and well-plotted as any Chase novel. But it felt weaker than Silk Is for Seduction, more insubstantial. The ending was rushed, and the emotional stakes weren't as high as those in the previous book. The path towards the characters' happy ending felt too easy, which works in contemporaries but not in historicals, where resistance should come from a lot of societal levels. I can't complain too much, though, as I did get through the book rather quickly and found it to be a perfectly pleasant way to pass the time. I like the hero a lot. Lord Longmore (Harry) is entitled, sure, but he's a normal bloke. Not terribly bright, led around by his desire for fun, but still a decent guy. You don't see a lot of average guys in historical romance - they are always exceedingly smart or crazy masculine or sometimes overly nice. It's nice to just see a dude being a dude. It makes his attraction to Sophy, the scheming brains of the Noirot fashion operation, seem organic.
Speaking of organic, one of my favorite things about Chase is her sense of humor. Specifically, that she lets that humor come out through her characters rather than through situation (most of the time, anyway). When her characters say something witty or do something funny, it never feels like a function of the story. Rather, it comes through the fact that readers get to know the characters and understand that the humor comes from who they are and how they interact with people. That's a rare gift, particularly in genre writing, and I really appreciate it. Humor should be organic, not forced (I'm looking at you, 50 Shades of Grey).
So if you're a Chase fan, I recommend Scandal Wears Satin, even if it's not as good as the book that comes before it in the trilogy. (Note: The next and last book in the series will feature Leonie, the mathematically-inclined youngest sister. So far, she's been a pretty bland presence, so I hope she fully comes out in the next book. Strangely enough, there's no signs so far of who she's going to be paired up with, which is rare in this kind of trilogy.)


text: A day in the life of... a male midwife Labour & birth Pregnancy 2 As one of just 173 male midwives registered in the UK, John Pendleton's used to a certain amount of curiosity about his job... Who:John Pendleton Age: 40 Profession: Community midwife. Lives: Northampton with partner Rebecca, 40, a lawyer, and their sons Raphael, 8, and Francis, 4. Story: I'd been working in TV production for nine years when I decided to quit and train as a midwife. It was the birth of Raphael that inspired me. It was a lovely home birth and the midwife arrived at 2am, stayed for 12 hours, delivered the baby, then came back most days for a fortnight. I liked the idea of being part of someone's life during such a significant time. I was also looking for a new career where I could spend more time with my family. I spent three years training and qualified in 2009. People are often curious to meet a male midwife so I get lots of questions. Occasionally they assume I'm a doctor. I've never had any hostile reactions. Diary: 7am I get up and help Francis dress, then I get the boys' breakfast. Rebecca leaves at 7.30am and our nanny arrives at 8am. 8.20am I drive to the midwifery clinic, which is based in a doctors' surgery. I collect messages and return calls. One new mum has symptoms of the breast infection mastitis. She can't get a doctor's appointment, so I arrange a prescription of antibiotics. 9am My antenatal clinic starts – this morning I have 11 patients. The first is 34 weeks pregnant and we discuss where she wants to give birth. She's keen to have a home birth, so I write a referral. Northampton has a very high home birth rate, about seven per cent. Later I see a pregnant teenager for a routine check-up. Last week the hospital wrote to say she'd been to A&E with injuries consistent with domestic abuse. I ask her and she says her boyfriend caused the injuries, but she doesn't want to press charges. Sadly I see this kind of thing quite a lot. I check she doesn't feel in immediate danger and give her numbers for a helpline. I also take the boyfriend's details as some checks will be done on him. We have to think about the environment the baby's being born into, as well as the mum's safety. 1.30pm After lunch in the staff room, I visit the health visitors at the surgery and we share information. I tell them about the teenager and they agree to go round to support her. 2.15pm I have four home visits today. The first is to a mum with a two-day-old girl. She's upset because she's struggling to breastfeed and had to use formula, which she didn't want to do. I help her get the baby latched on, give her details of breastfeeding groups and arrange for a colleague to go round tomorrow. 4.30pm My final visit is to a mum with five-day-old twins who had a caesarean. I take the suture out of the wound and make sure it's well healed, clean and dry. I check and weigh the twins and arrange another visit for five days' time. 5.30pm After driving to Northampton General Hospital to drop off paperwork and input data, I'm done for the day, but am on call until 8am in case the home birth team needs back up. Back home, I say hello to the boys and chat to our nanny. She leaves and I take the boys to Tae Kwon Do. 7pm Rebecca's home now and she puts the boys to bed while I make supper – roasted veg with couscous. Later we watch Call The Midwife. I keep my phone on, hoping no one calls me! The best bit of my job... building relationships with women and their families at such a significant time in their lives. The worst bit... the paperwork – too much form-filling. If I wasn't a midwife, I'd be... a ballet dancer. I'd love to do something so physical and liberating that pushes your body to the extreme. Read more... A day in the life of... a trainee Norland nanny A day in the life of... a family psychologist A day in the life of... a HypnoBirthing teacher By Georgina Wintersgill 2 Comments Share Like this article? Showing of Audrie Naylor What an interesting story. I bet he is a good midwife, because you can tell he loves his job. I don't see why anyone should give a male midwife any grief, they will be so glad of him, if he happened to turn up to do a delivery of baby in their family. I do agree about to much paperwork, think its happening every where, they need to cover their backs, so everything has to be recorded. Maybe they should have a machine attached to him all day whilst working, and things can be said and at the end of the day he gives it to a secretary to type up, everything would be recorded throughout the day on the machine, bet it would save some time. I feel sorry about the young girl, sadly it goes on, not a lot you can do really, give them lots of support and be there for them, no reason why anyone cant be a friend to a young mum. sophia fisher I had a male midwife with my middle child, now 4! He was no different to previous midwives I had and I didn't treat him any differently, at the end of the day they are there to help you and your baby be safe and that's the most important thing, regardless of gender! And believe me ladies, when your in pain just wanting your baby out, the pope could be "down there" and you juat wouldn't care less lol! X Uh-oh! You need to be logged in to do this...

A World Apart by Camelia Miron Skiba
In a war that's not hers she loses everything. Everything she loses is because of him. Forgiveness is not an option. Or maybe it is… This military (sensual) romance is available in paperback and ebook formats from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
When Army Intelligence Officer Heather Langstrom's military convoy is ambushed and she's taken prisoner, she knows she'll need all her strength and courage to survive, escape her captors, and report the whispers of unrest brewing in the Middle East.
Delta Force Captain Jace Reed isn't one to throw caution to the wind, but when his team stumbles upon beaten and weak Heather fleeing the terrorist training camp they've been dispatched to destroy, he'll risk everything to get her to safety. Once back on base, they learn her convoy's ambush was no accident…she'd been targeted. As the evidence of an impending attack mounts, Jace and Heather uncover a deadly terrorist plot that could kill hundreds of civilians.
But Jace's protective instincts and Heather's fierce independence put them at constant odds. And as they close in on the extremists, they must learn to trust one another in order to save innocent lives…even if it means sacrificing their own. Available from HarperCollins Publishers, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
Click here to read Chapter One.
After several assassination attempts on an allied royal, the CIA sends in operative Christina Madison—who bears a striking resemblance to the monarch—to pose as the famous princess and draw out her would-be killer.
When Delta Force Lieutenant Gabriel Morgan's team is assigned to Christina's undercover protection detail, he's less than thrilled. Gabe wants nothing to do with a woman whose rumored screw-up nearly got her last team killed. Not to mention there's bad blood between Gabe and the CIA—he doesn't trust anyone who lies for a living.
But once the trap is set and the assassin takes the bait, Gabe must protect her with his life … because danger lurks in the shadows, and now Christina is in the crosshairs.
Available at HarperCollins Publishers, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.
Click here to read the Prologue.
On a secret assignment for MI-5, British SAS soldier Trevor Carswell is deep undercover with The Philosophy of Bedlam, a home-grown anarchist group responsible for several museum bombings. He's on the brink of unearthing their motives when Scotland Yard foils their latest attack. Desperate to escape, the Bedlamites take civilian hostages — among them, a woman Trevor never expected to see again.
American political analyst Shelby Gibson is stunned when she recognizes Trevor, her one-time lover, brandishing a shotgun in the lobby of the August Museum of Modern Art. He's the last man she'd ever trust, but Trevor is no criminal, and he may be her only hope of getting out of the building alive.
With the woman he once loved in serious danger, Trevor will risk everything to get Shelby to safety, even if it means blowing his cover. As they search for the truth behind the bombings, Shelby and Trevor expose the powerful, desperate man pulling the anarchists' strings… and the half-century-old secret he'll kill to keep quiet. Available at HarperCollins Publishers, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.

Last December, the Internet nearly exploded with the news that Beyoncé had unexpectedly released an entire album on iTunes. We thought the singer was up to her old tricks when a fake second 'surprise' album tracklist began to circulate on Twitter at the weekend – but it turns out, it was TRUE.
Well, sort of.
A press release has now confirmed that Bey is indeed dropping a 'Platinum Edition Box Set' on 24 November. It will be composed of two CDs and two DVDs, and will contain four remixes of original tracks from the first self-titled album, as well as two new additional tracks: '7/11' and 'Ring Off'.
We can also look forward to ten live performances from 'The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour' (on the DVDs), as well as stars such as Pharrell and Nicki Minaj on the remixes.
So while the entire contents of the leaked document hasn't held up (we were promised Justin Timberlake), not to worry, as at least new music is coming.
And that's all that matters.

If you have a chronic wound, you know how painful and frustrating it is to not be able to heal. Adult stem cell therapy is an effective new option for patients who are living with chronic, non-healing wounds as well as ischemia (lack of blood flow) in various tissues of the body as caused by conditions like heart disease and diabetes or autoimmune diseases such as lupus.
This innovative treatment utilizes adult stem cells (from your body fat) which have the ability to decrease inflammation, repair damaged tissue, facilitate better cell-to-cell communication and stimulate new blood vessel growth for better blood flow to the affected area(s). With Okyanos Cell Therapy, your body's own natural repair mechanisms are put to work to accelerate healing and achieve for you a better quality of life.
What Are Chronic Wounds?
A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly fashion or in a predictable amount of time the way most wounds do. Wounds that do not heal within three months are often considered chronic as they have become held up in one or more of the phases of wound healing. Often wounds become chronic as a result of poor blood flow (ischemia), autoimmune dysfunction, degenerative conditions such as lupus or diabetes, radiation burns or even malnutrition. Heart and lung disease or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can lead to chronic wounds because of related ischemia.
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Benefit Chronic Wounds?
A ready blood supply is essential for healing of wounds. Blood supplies the oxygen and nutrients necessary to restore health and vitality, and in fact your wounds can't heal without it. The stem cells stored in your body fat have the capability of stimulating new blood vessel growth—a process which supplies wounds with sufficient blood for healing.
Your fatty tissue is also home to a mixed population of cells which are able to secrete vital growth factors. These are substances (like as a vitamin or a hormone) that are required for the normal process of wound healing to take place. The combination of these growth factors along with new blood vessel growth produces visible improvements of chronic wounds such as:
- Decreased inflammation
- Reduction of diameter and depth of ulcer
- Decreased pain
- Improved cosmetic appearance
- In many cases, complete wound closure
The Procedure
Adult stem cell treatment at Okyanos is a minimally invasive, same-day outpatient procedure. Though recovery can and does vary from patient to patient, our protocols are designed and carried out with the goal of keeping "downtime" to a minimum. A general overview of the procedure is as follows:
- First, water-assisted fat harvesting is done to obtain a sufficient amount of adipose (fat) tissue.
- The unique blend of stem and regenerative cells which exist in the adipose tissue are then isolated and prepared for intravenous delivery utilizing a closed/sterile, fully automated CGMP cell processing system. For patients receiving direct injections, a closed/sterile, manually operated cell processing technology will be used to obtain a micro-fragmented, cell-rich product for injection.
- Immediately thereafter, in accordance with the individualized treatment plan prepared for each patient, adult stem cells are delivered by direct injection to ischemic areas as well as intravenously to address the systemic factors relating to insufficient blood flow. This combination of IV and direct injection is a standard technique developed by doctors at Okyanos.
To learn more about Okyanos Cell Therapy for chronic wounds and other ischemic conditions, contact a Patient Liaison to request a free educational consultation or dial 855-OKYANOS (855-659-2667).

It took the Obama team only two years to do what the Bush people could not do in eight. No Tora Bora slip-ups here. No unseen drones firing rockets from miles up above. This was warfare up close and personal. A double-tap from a tough Navy Seal and the world is a better place.

It was the military and intelligence teams that got bin Laden, not Obama.
Obama did make a nice little speech though. Very appropriate. Glad he had the cojones to order the strike.
Now we have to go after Zawahiri, and then whoever comes next.
Great job by that Seal Team.

CIOs are often left with the task of deciphering very complex technical ideas and concepts for the rest of the C-Suite. One of their most recent challenges has been to explain to the CFO exactly how transitioning to Cloud Computing for many applications will benefit their company. This may at first seem counterintuitive given the promise of cloud computing to reduce capital expenses and the overall corporate IT operational workload.
There is often some frustration among C-Suite executives because the ROI projections for major IT initiatives are often wrong. Many times the ROI estimate is made by the CIO and represents a best guess that is quickly forgotten once the investment is approved by the CFO and the rest of the C-Suite.
In many of these misguided estimates the wrong projections are not necessarily due to laziness or the deliberate miscalculation of the economic realities of the investment. Most companies do try to make an honest effort when estimating financial impact, but they simply cannot quantify technology's contribution to behavioral change or business outcomes.
This is where the CIO can demonstrate some true leadership to the CFO and CEO. The relationship among the CEO, the CFO, and the CIO should improve going forward if certain paths are followed. This will happen if the CIO is increasingly capable of accurately estimating IT ROI. This will occur by the shift to cloud computing applications which enables the CIO to build vast data warehouses and use the growing pool of analytics tools to better measure the performance impact of many investments. The biggest challenges to date for the CIO is how to best articulate these cloud advantages to the CFO. Now the CIO will have concrete numbers to back up the estimates.
While many executives claim to understand the cloud, there seems to be a gap between what CIOs and the rest of the C-Suite believe the advantages are to cloud based applications.
Many CIOs acknowledge the agility and automation benefits associated with the private cloud but, in an effort to be convincing, they must present the benefits from a financial perspective to the CFO in order to make these attributes a more compelling business case.
Selling the virtues of cloud technology isn't the first time that CIOs have faced technology adoption challenges. In the early 2000s, CIOs were tasked with selling x86 virtualization internally to their CEOs and CFOs. The proliferation of virtualization was met with a great deal of skepticism from many in the C-Suite. To overcome this, IT administrators and CIOs had to demonstrate that virtualization actually meant flexibility, agility and cost savings through the consolidation of hardware. This resulted in CTOs and CIOs collaborating for a common cause to change the opinions of company leaders. Despite this effort, many CFOs and CEOs remained unconvinced that virtualization translated into a smart business investment.
Moving to the cloud is perhaps a bigger undertaking than virtualization in that it requires people, processes and technology to work together to make it truly successful. Although many companies have migrated to virtualized environments, the task to evangelize it still falls on CIOs, who must continually explain that the deployment aspect is only the first step in their company's evolution to deliver infrastructure as a value-added, on-demand service to the business.
However, once the CIO has successfully defined the benefits of cloud technology, they must then demonstrate to senior leadership how its attributes of on-demand Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) translates to improved operational efficiencies.
According to Jason Cowie, VP of Product Management at Embotics, here are several concrete arguments for CIOs can consider when making a case for cloud and other IT investments with their CFO and CEOs.
Highlight cloud's competitive advantage. In addition to being an infrastructure investment, the cloud drives down costs and provides a repeatable, standardized and highly optimized process. CIOs can progress infrastructure conversations by addressing the competitive advantage that cloud delivers through speed to market. By spearheading company-wide cloud readiness assessments of their people, processes and technology, CIOs can determine total cost of ownership, gaps, process improvements, tools and roadmaps to implement cloud service delivery capabilities and related benefits.
Provide answers. CIOs can attend meetings with their CEOs armed with the aforementioned gap analysis to make the case for how the cloud delivers solutions to company inefficiencies. Examples of these solutions include self-service provisioning, its associated request and approval workflow automation, IT costing and show back (reports on the costs of all virtual assets, allowing business and application owners to increase awareness, understanding and accountability of actual costs required to support the business) and service catalogs associated with the private cloud. Documenting cloud benefits, which align to company goals and provide answers, can be a convincing strategy.
Promote performance improvements. CIOs can take this opportunity to discuss the value of speed, agility and the simplification of data center management. Cloud management solutions can calculate costs, automate routine administrative tasks and help optimize the performance and configuration of the virtual data center. Therefore, CIOs must highlight how the private cloud builds on the flexibility and cost savings the company can gain from moving to a virtual environment.
Focus on energy efficiency. CIOs can also explain how monitoring, measuring and managing IT consumption is a benefit that comes with cloud deployments. CIOs can also educate their leadership about how cloud's smart provisioning of resources enables IT to be more productive.
Explain how the right solution makes transitioning to the cloud almost seamless. CIOs can provide their CFOs and CEOs with answers on how to select the right cloud management platform, and then use the opportunity to develop business and technical justification. It's important to emphasize that transitioning to the cloud can be done painlessly, if a company uses the right solution.
By following these steps, CIOs can expect their fellow C-Suite executives to agree on the business case for moving to the cloud.

How to Do Laundry on a Road Trip Like John Steinbeck• artofmanliness.com
Editor's note: This is a guest post from Jeff More.
You're packing for a road trip and you're down to deciding how much clothing to bring. You could have a fresh change of clothes every day, but that adds up to a lot of space quickly, especially if you have multiple companions. You really would prefer to travel light, but that means either finding a laundromat and spending a stack of quarters and a few hours in town, or hand washing your clothes at camp when you could be kicking back and enjoying a foil meal instead.
Or you could just suck it up, not change, and reek a little. But really, you're car camping, not backpacking, so why do that? What's a man to do?
Here's a tip I got from Travels with Charley (sadly missing from the Art of Manliness' 100 best reads, but no one's perfect), John Steinbeck's 1962 travelogue documenting his road trip circumnavigating the Lower 48 with his French poodle, Charley, and how the American landscape had changed over his lifetime. The book is known for its series of poignant tales, but buried inside is a handy nugget on how to effortlessly have a fresh change of clothes on hand daily while on the road.What You'll Need: 5-gallon bucket with lid (I use an orange Home Depot bucket) Jug of clean water (Get a jug with a screw-on top, not a snap top. Trader Joe's has a good one.) Laundry detergent Some utility cord or other improvised clothesline Clothespins or binder clips (the duct tape of office supplies)
Here's how it works.

Heifer Sierra Leone Country Director Rashid Sesay, Joseph Buckle, Roland Suluku, Foday Koroma (of Njala University), Heifer Senior Project Officer Val Koker and volunteer Dr. Luciano Gajutos hammer out the details (not pictured, West Africa Regional Director Elizabeth Bintliff).
At a long table in Heifer Sierra Leone's headquarters, six men and one woman debate and discuss poultry mortality rates, the price for a bag of chicken manure (to be used as fertilizer), whether and how smallholder farmers can get high-quality feed, the cost of construction for housing chickens, coordination of farming schedules, veterinary care and access to medicines, marketing and far more details than I can get into here.
The occasion is a two-day "write shop" to develop and polish a $1.6 million proposal to the European Union for a project that would reduce food insecurity and increase resiliency among 5,000 vulnerable rural households in Kailahun and Koinadugu Districts of Sierra Leone. The project would target families with pregnant women or lactating mothers. Participants in the write shop include poultry experts from Njala University, a volunteer veterinarian, Heifer's Senior Project Officer, Country Director and West Africa Area Director.
Heifer International doesn't work extensively with poultry in Africa, but there is a great need and market for fresh eggs here. Besides addressing the immediate need, this project will also focus on sustainability by training trainers in the target populations. These women will provide technical training to subsequent families so that they may keep the program going and ultimately raise the income and nutrition levels of more families.
The proposal is due August 25, so keep your fingers crossed.

As soon as you move from one machine to many, accessing and aggregating logs becomes difficult. Once you hit a certain scale, keeping these logs and making them available to others can add massive overhead to your cluster. After watching how users interact with their logs, we've scoped the problem to two primary use cases. This allows you to pick the solution with the lowest overhead that solves your specific problem.
When things go wrong, you need to see the logs to understand how to fix it. DC/OS services and tasks write
stdout and
stderr files in their sandboxes by default. Traditionally, log aggregation has been the solution here. Write the logs locally and then ship all that data elsewhere for someone to actually access. Moving data around is expensive, especially when it ends up being written multiple times.
For most debugging tasks, log aggregation ends up being a particularly heavy solution for a simple task. All you want is to see the logs, where they come from doesn't actually matter. By scoping the debugging task down to this level, we've been able to provide a couple simple solutions that work for most use cases.
DC/OS knows where every task has run in your cluster. It is also able to stream every file your application outputs. By combining these two features, you're able to use the CLI or GUI to access historical and current logs such as stdout/stderr from your local machine.
Let's say that you've got a service misbehaving. For some reason, it is continually crashing and you need to figure out why. You don't need to SSH to a specific machine to find the logs and start to understand this problem. Instead, you can use the CLI or GUI to immediately get access to the files that your service is creating.
If you've created a DC/OS service named
service and would like to see stdout for every instance of that in real time, you can run the following:
dcos task log --follow service
For more advanced usage, you can check out the CLI documentation:
From the Services tab in the DC/OS UI you can download all the log files for your service. You can also monitor stdout/stderr.
Unfortunately, streaming logs from machines in your cluster isn't always viable. Sometimes, you need the logs stored somewhere else as a history of what's happened. This is where log aggregation really is required. Check out how to get it setup with some of the most common solutions:
