This chapter discusses zone installation on your Solaris system. It also describes the two processes that manage the virtual platform and the application environment, zoneadmd and zsched. Information about halting, rebooting, cloning, and uninstalling zones is also provided.
The following topics are addressed in this chapter:
To clone a non-global zone, install and boot a non-global zone, or to halt or uninstall a non-global zone, see Chapter 20, Installing, Booting, Halting, Uninstalling, and Cloning Non-Global Zones (Tasks).
For information about lx branded zone installation, see Chapter 34, About Installing, Booting, Halting, Cloning, and Uninstalling lx Branded Zones (Overview) and Chapter 35, Installing, Booting, Halting, Uninstalling and Cloning lx Branded Zones (Tasks).
Solaris 10 11/06: The ability to clone a non-global zone is now available. See Solaris 10 11/06: Cloning a Non-Global Zone on the Same System.
Solaris 10 8/07: Information on boot arguments has also been added. See Solaris 10 8/07: Zone Boot Arguments.
Solaris 10 5/09: ZFS clone has been implemented. When the source zonepath and the target zonepath both reside on ZFS and are in the same pool, the zoneadm clone command automatically uses ZFS to clone the zone. If both zonepaths are non-ZFS, or if one is ZFS and the other non-ZFS, the code will use the existing copy technique.
The zoneadm command described in the zoneadm(1M) man page is the primary tool used to install and administer non-global zones. Operations using the zoneadm command must be run from the global zone. The following tasks can be performed using the zoneadm command:
Verify a zone
Install a zone
Boot a zone, which is similar to booting a regular Solaris system
Display information about a running zone
Halt a zone
Reboot a zone
Uninstall a zone
Relocate a zone from one point on a system to another point on the same system
Provision a new zone based on the configuration of an existing zone on the same system
Migrate a zone, used with the zonecfg command
For zone installation and verification procedures, see Chapter 20, Installing, Booting, Halting, Uninstalling, and Cloning Non-Global Zones (Tasks) and the zoneadm(1M) man page. Also refer to the zoneadm(1M)man page for supported options to the zoneadm list command. For zone configuration procedures, see Chapter 18, Planning and Configuring Non-Global Zones (Tasks) and the zonecfg(1M) man page. Zone states are described in Non-Global Zone State Model.
If you plan to produce Solaris auditing records for zones, read Using Solaris Auditing in Zones before you install non-global zones.
This section applies to initial zone construction, and not to the cloning of existing zones.
After you have configured a non-global zone, you should verify that the zone can be installed safely on your system's configuration. You can then install the zone. The files needed for the zone's root file system are installed by the system under the zone's root path.
A non-global zone is installed with the open networking configuration (generic_open.xml). Network configuration types are described in Chapter 19, Managing Services (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration. The zone administrator can switch the zone to the limited networking configuration (generic_limited_net.xml) by using the netservices command. Specific services can be enabled or disabled by using SMF commands.
A successfully installed zone is ready for initial login and booting.
The method used to initially install packages in a Solaris installation is also the method used to populate a non-global zone.
The global zone must contain all the data necessary to populate a non-global zone. Populating a zone includes creating directories, copying files, and providing configuration information.
Only the information or data that was created in the global zone from packages is used to populate the zone from the global zone. For more information, see the pkgparam(1) and pkginfo(4) man pages.
Data from the following are not referenced or copied when a zone is installed:
Non-installed packages
Data on CDs and DVDs
Network installation images
Any prototype or other instance of a zone
In addition, the following types of information, if present in the global zone, are not copied into a zone that is being installed:
New or changed users in the /etc/passwd file
New or changed groups in the /etc/group file
Configurations for networking services such as DHCP address assignment, UUCP, or sendmail
Configurations for network services such as naming services
New or changed crontab, printer, and mail files
System log, message, and accounting files
If Solaris auditing is used, modifications to auditing files copied from the global zone might be required. For more information, see Using Solaris Auditing in Zones.
The following features cannot be configured in a non-global zone:
Solaris Live Upgrade boot environments
Solaris Volume Manager metadevices
DHCP address assignment in a shared-IP zone
SSL proxy server
The resources specified in the configuration file are added when the zone transitions from installed to ready. A unique zone ID is assigned by the system. File systems are mounted, network interfaces are set up, and devices are configured. Transitioning into the ready state prepares the virtual platform to begin running user processes. In the ready state, the zsched and zoneadmd processes are started to manage the virtual platform.
zsched, a system scheduling process similar to sched, is used to track kernel resources associated with the zone.
zoneadmd is the zones administration daemon.
A zone in the ready state does not have any user processes executing in it. The primary difference between a ready zone and a running zone is that at least one process is executing in a running zone. See the init(1M) man page for more information.
The zones administration daemon, zoneadmd, is the primary process for managing the zone's virtual platform. The daemon is also responsible for managing zone booting and shutting down. There is one zoneadmd process running for each active (ready, running, or shutting down) zone on the system.
The zoneadmd daemon sets up the zone as specified in the zone configuration. This process includes the following actions:
Allocating the zone ID and starting the zsched system process.
Setting zone-wide resource controls.
Preparing the zone's devices as specified in the zone configuration. For more information, see the devfsadmd(1M) man page.
Setting up virtual network interfaces.
Mounting loopback and conventional file systems.
Instantiating and initializing the zone console device.
Unless the zoneadmd daemon is already running, it is automatically started by zoneadm. Thus, if the daemon is not running for any reason, any invocation of zoneadm to administer the zone will restart zoneadmd.
The man page for the zoneadmd daemon is zoneadmd(1M).
An active zone is a zone that is in the ready state, the running state, or the shutting down state. Every active zone has an associated kernel process, zsched. Kernel threads doing work on behalf of the zone are owned by zsched. The zsched process enables the zones subsystem to keep track of per-zone kernel threads.
The zoneadm command is used to create the zone application environment.
Before a non-global zone is booted for the first time, the internal configuration of the zone must be created. The internal configuration specifies a naming service to use, the default locale and time zone, the zone's root password, and other aspects of the application environment. The application environment is established by responding to a series of prompts that appear on the zone console, as explained in Internal Zone Configuration. Note that the default locale and time zone for a zone can be configured independently of the global settings.
This section provides an overview of the procedures for halting, rebooting, and uninstalling zones. Troubleshooting tips for zones that fail to halt when requested are also provided.
The zoneadm halt command is used to remove both the application environment and the virtual platform for a zone. The zone is then brought back to the installed state. All processes are killed, devices are unconfigured, network interfaces are destroyed, file systems are unmounted, and the kernel data structures are destroyed.
The halt command does not run any shutdown scripts within the zone. To shut down a zone, see How to Use zlogin to Shut Down a Zone.
If the halt operation fails, see Zone Does not Halt.
The zoneadm reboot command is used to reboot a zone. The zone is halted and then booted again. The zone ID will change when the zone is rebooted.
Zones support the following boot arguments used with the zoneadm boot and reboot commands:
-i altinit
-m smf_options
The following definitions apply:
Selects an alternative executable to be the first process. altinit must be a valid path to an executable. The default first process is described in init(1M).
Controls the boot behavior of SMF. There are two categories of options, recovery options and messages options. Message options determine the type and number of messages that displays during boot. Service options determine the services that are used to boot the system.
Recovery options include the following:
Prints standard per-service output and all svc.startd messages to log.
Boot to the subgraph defined by the given milestone. Legitimate milestones are none, single-user, multi-user, multi-user-server, and all.
Message options include the following:
Prints standard per-service output and error messages requiring administrative intervention
Prints standard per-service output and messages providing more information.
Boots only to milestone svc:/milestone/single-user:default. This milestone is equivalent to init level s.
For usage examples, see How to Boot a Zone and How to Boot a Zone in Single-User Mode.
For information on the Solaris service management facility (SMF) and init , see Chapter 18, Managing Services (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration, svc.startd(1M) and init(1M).
If you set the autoboot resource property in a zone's configuration to true, that zone is automatically booted when the global zone is booted. The default setting is false.
Note that for the zones to autoboot, the zones service svc:/system/zones:default must also be enabled.
The zoneadm uninstall command is used to uninstall all of the files under the zone's root file system. Before proceeding, the command prompts you to confirm the action, unless the -F (force) option is also used. Use the uninstall command with caution, because the action is irreversible.
Cloning allows you to copy an existing configured and installed zone on your system to rapidly provision a new zone on the same system. Note that at a minimum, you must reset properties and resources for the components that cannot be identical for different zones. Thus, the zonepath must always be changed. In addition, for a shared-IP zone, the IP addresses in any net resources must be different. For an exclusive-IP zone, the physical property of any net resources must be different.
Cloning a zone is a faster way to install a zone.
The new zone will include any changes that have been made to customize the source zone, such as added packages or file modifications.
Solaris 10 5/09: When the source zonepath and the target zonepath both reside on ZFS and are in the same pool, the zoneadm clone command automatically uses ZFS to clone the zone. When using ZFS clone, the data is not actually copied until it is modified. Thus, the initial clone takes very little time. The zoneadm command takes a ZFS snapshot of the source zonepath, and sets up the target zonepath. The system names the snapshot SUNWzoneX, where X is a unique ID used to distinguish between multiple snapshots. The zonepath of the destination zone is used to name the ZFS clone. A software inventory is performed so that a snapshot used at a future time can be validated by the system. To clone a source zone multiple times, the zoneadm command allows you to specify that an existing snapshot should be used. The system validates that the existing snapshot is usable on the target.
You cannot use manual snapshots, such as the type described in Creating and Destroying ZFS Snapshots in Oracle Solaris ZFS Administration Guide. This type of snapshot lacks the data to perform a validation.
You might want to clone a source zone many times but not want to have a new snapshot for each clone. The -s parameter to the clone subcommand allows you to specify that an existing snapshot taken from a previous clone should be used. See Solaris 10 5/09: How to Clone a Zone from an Existing Snapshot.
Because the contents of a snapshot represent a zone from a point in the past, it is possible that the system has been updated in some way, such as by patching or upgrading, since the snapshot was taken. The fact that the zone was upgraded could render the snapshot invalid for use as a zone on the present-day system.
You can specify that a ZFS zonepath be copied instead of ZFS cloned, even though the source could be cloned in this way.
See Solaris 10 11/06: Cloning a Non-Global Zone on the Same System for more information.

Not only does Brent Grimes not have a deal with the Falcons, but he might have a new address soon.
The Dolphins announced they had Grimes in town for a free agent visit.
Miami needs to re-stock there after losing Sean Smith to Kansas City. The need is even more acute in Atlanta, after the Falcons released Dunta Robinson (who also signed with the Chiefs).
Grimes is in an interesting spot, hitting the market after missing last season with an Achilles injury, and being franchised-tagged the year before.
As with seemingly every other free agent in the league right now, he's likely to have to take a short-term deal and prove himself, before trying free agency again at a better time.

Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?
By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work. It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...

She sounded calm, cool and collected.
Maria Shriver, California's former First Lady, placed a 911 call reporting that her youngest son was seriously hurt following a boogie boarding accident last weekend.
"What's the emergency, ma'am?" asked the 911 operator.
Local news from across Southern California
"It was a boogie boarding accident" replied Shriver. He can't move off the beach… broken ribs or something like that."
Shriver told the operator it was her son, Christopher, 13, who was hurt. And she described his fragile condition: "He's awake and breathing. He can't move. He's having trouble breathing."
The accident happened during Carmageddon weekend at Escondido Beach in Malibu.
Christopher has been in the hospital ever since… being treated for a collapsed lung and broken bones.
He was visited by his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger Friday. His mother, Maria Shriver, has been by his side since the accident.
On Friday Arnold and Maria put out a joint statement:
"While it has been a very scary week, Christopher is surrounded by his family and friends. He is a brave boy and is expected to make a full recovery."
On Friday the couple's oldest son, Patrick, tweeted "this kid is strongest kid I have ever seen… keep praying."
Christopher Schwarzenegger is expected to make a full recovery according to the family's statement.

In my attempt to assure you that I am the Misleading Mage Blogger (thus preventing others from suffering such an unjust accusation), I present to you a Misleading Mage post.
Better yet, its a guest post from my all time favorite MAGE Blogger. Yes contrary to popular belief, she is not just a Mage that blogs, but is truly a Mage Blogger and so I present exhibit A:
Misleading Mage posts:
Agility and Attack Power – the essentials of a mage
A little while I got a request from an upcoming blogger who wanted me to write a guest post. It should be about what five elementals I thought would constitute a good overall Mage.
"Are you serious?" was my first reaction. Sure, I've been playing my beloved Mage for three years straight, but until this day I've hardly written anything about the Mage class that you could describe as even remotely useful.
However – when I was done coming up with all those excuses I thought: "what the heck, how bad could it be"? And I decided to approach the topic from a slightly different angle.
As it turned out, the blog that this post was intended for never took of. So I came up with this cunning plan, to dump it on my neighbor blogger, Gnomeaggedon.
Since his blog is already full of misleading information, I thought that this post might fit in as well.
And with this introduction, ladies and gentlemen, I will now present you five stats that I think are essential to anyone planning to play a Mage. Maybe not the ones you think of at first.
1. Agility
OK, admittedly at Patchwerk you can just stand on one spot and spam one or two nuke buttons. But apart from him and a couple of other exceptions, you actually need to be pretty movable as a Mage. Somehow you're supposed to manage to move out of crap on the ground or evil things coming for you through the air, and STILL make your several seconds-long spells go off, resulting in pretty yellow numbers on the screen. A good Mage can nuke on the move. If you're slow like me, there's nothing else to do but to place yourself in front of the dummies in IF,running back and forward, until nuking on the fly is a second nature to you.
Agility. It's a must-have for your mage.
2. Attack power
Just because Mages are squishy it doesn't mean that we should be anxious cowards. We're there to do the dirty job. Slaughter the enemy and show now mercy. Sure – we have a few other tricks in our sleeves, but in the end your performance will mostly be judged by the amount of damage you do. As Mage you should rather be competitive than shy.
Charge your mental attack power – unleash your wrath and enjoy!
3. Hit rating
We're living in an era where everything but end bosses is downed by AoE. But I would still claim that a Mage isn't just a guy who randomly spreading damaging clouds around himself, hoping that something will hit something. At least not a good Mage. A good Mage is someone who plays his class with a great amount of precision and control, who can handle multiple enemies, using almost-forgotten abilities such as sheep, frost nova and slow. Someone who can kite. Someone who can balance exactly at the threat roof, using aggro dumps exactly in the moment. Someone who can make the most out of every cool down ability.
In real life a surgeon needs a great amount of hit rating. So does any self respecting Mage.
4. Diplomacy
There was a time when the only portals available in game were the ones that Mages provided. So is not the case anymore – the hubs in Shattrath and nowadays Dalaran have drastically changed the demand for Mage services, especially since the hearth stone has a shorter CD and you can teleport out of the daily random dungeons anyway. So there really isn't any reason to be that grumpy, cheap Mage who refuses to make portals, who doesn't provide tables in BGs or doesn't bother to buff up the party due to the cost of reagents. Being a vendor machine and a taxi driver is – and has always been – a part of what it means to be a Mage. This doesn't mean that you're supposed to stand in the bridge of IF offering your services to anyone for free. But when you're in a party I can't see any excuse whatsoever not to provide those things.
As a Mage you should make sure you're not lacking points in diplomacy.
5. Mana regen
Mana regen symbolizes a true fighting spirit. Players who have a lot of dodge, stamina or armor won't be as easily affected by criticism, conflicts and failures. You often see this in good tanks and healers, who end up in leading positions and need a thick skin to endure it. As a Mage you're rarely expected to lead. But you can still play an important role in the group, as a mana provider. If you have a good mana regen, you have an inner fire inner fire that will make you self sufficient in mental energy. You will be ready to try over and over again, not giving up when you encounter resistance, taking your struggles with a smile, always looking for the bright side. A good Mage doesn't whine. A good Mage doesn't need to be spoon fed by their fellow players to remain positive. A good Mage generates so much mental mana that there's enough of it for the whole group to stay in a good mood.
Agility, attack power, hit rating, diplomacy and mana regen. That's my five core stats as a Mage player. Even if they don't show up in the Armory.
Larisa the Kingslayer, Pink Pigtail Inn
Just for the record, I added the title to her name at the end. It's her determination to be not just a good Mage, but a great Mage that earned her the title. We don't need a rotation guide, we need an inspirational blogging guide, a guide that Larisa provides on a daily basis!
Thanks Larisa!
/More memory fail!
While I was whacking this all together, I was thinking to myself
At long last a guest post from Larisa!
Sure we had all those Magely exchanges during the Mage Wars (starting here for me), but when else has she come close to contributing to my blog…
Ohhh yeah, she not only reminded me of my 1 year blogaversary, but contributed a Gnomefluence entry, a Blogday screenshot post, 20 questions and explained why Mages, particularly Gnome Mages are the best.
So, really she has starred at the home of the Gnome on many occasions.
All of which reminds me… my 2nd blogaversary is fast approaching…
I don't have any plans this year… so surprise me!
Maybe a contribution to the Misleading Mage posts, maybe something a little out of place here… like an informative Mage post. The door is open, enter if you will, share with us your Magely wisdom.
Which reminds me, I will be asking in earnest in a couple of days… 1st I need to do a bit more misguiding and acknowledge the other heroes of the Mage v. Lock war.
But not today.. maybe tomorrow…
Gnomer and Out!

text: Remarkable and extremely historically significant original news photo of Babe Ruth at bat in a game between the Yankees and Red Sox taken at the Polo Grounds. The reverse markings consist of the following: a partially obscured credit stamp that appears to read "Photo by American Photo Services"; remnants of the original paper caption; a vintage pencil notation reading "Scene during game at Polo Grounds between Yankees and Boston - Babe Ruth at the bat"; and the name of the photographer, "Sy Seidman." This is one of the earliest photos extant picturing Babe Ruth at bat during an official Major League game, and adding to this great significance is the fact that this game is against the New York Americans. We have seen numerous photos of Ruth as a member of the Red Sox, from snapshots to large-scale panoramas, and everything in between, but we cannot recall ever seeing a game-action scene featuring him at the plate. Despite the fact that the photo is undated, it is most likely from either 1918 or 1919. It was in 1918 that Ruth first began seeing extended play as an outfielder. In the scene here, we can tell from the scoreboard that it is the top of the first inning, no score, and there is one out. The Red Sox have runners on second and third, meaning Ruth must be batting fourth in the lineup. Ruth almost certainly would not have batted fourth on the 1915 team when he was pitching, and if the World Series lineups are any indication, he did not bat fourth in 1916 or 1918 when on the mound either. Even in the 1918 World Series, after a season in which he led the Majors in home runs with eleven, Ruth only started the two games in which he pitched. Ruth appeared in fifty-nine games as an outfielder in 1918, batting .300 with 11 home runs and 66 RBI. In 1919 he became an everyday player, appearing in 111 games and finishing the season with a .322 average and league-leading totals in home runs (29), RBI (114), runs (103), and slugging percentage (.456). Although it is entirely possible that this photo dates to 1918, given the information cited, it seems much more likely to be from 1919, when the cleanup spot in the lineup was clearly his. While the identification of Ruth relies upon the limited view we can see (which naturally does not include his portrait) as well as the period reverse notations, that is the nature of the photograph. This is also a particularly interesting panoramic-style view taken through the safety netting behind home plate. The photo (10 x 8 inches), which displays exceptional clarity, has a few very minor flaws common to nearly all working press photos, including a one-inch horizontal tear along the right border, a small chip in the left border, and a few light surface wrinkles. In Very Good to Excellent condition. Reserve $400. Estimate $800+. SOLD FOR $940

Last week�s inspector general�s report about the departure of ex-Illinois Board of Higher Education executive director George W. Reid and an apparent cover up paints a picture that is both unflattering and troubling.
In fact, it�s difficult to decide which aspect of the situation Illinoisans should find most vexing: that Reid was hired for a $193,000-a-year position in spite of past problems, the accusations that led to his departure from IBHE, the lengths the board went to avoid embarrassing itself and Reid, or the unwillingness of those involved to cooperate with the investigation.
Reid, after less than two years on the Springfield-based job, was forced to resign in 2012 when it came to light that he�d been misusing a state-owned car, had driven off long-time employees, was rude to employees at other agencies and seemed to lack understanding of IBHE programs and initiatives.
At the time, IBHE had one state vehicle for use by the entire office, but Reid co-opted it as his own and rarely allowed others to drive it, even if he was away and not using it. Meanwhile, employees rented vehicles for official travel at a total cost of at least $4,000.
In spite of IBHE�s desire to sever ties with Reid, not only did the board bend over backward to ensure he received a generous severance that exceeded what his employment contract stipulated, it also asked him to be available to assist in the �transition� to the next executive director � a service that never was sought by IBHE, according to the report.
Under Reid�s employment agreement, IBHE should have paid him severance of just $16,000. Instead, IBHE paid him $48,000, the equivalent of three months� salary, plus another $17,000 for unused vacation.
The board then lied in a news release about why Reid was leaving, saying it was for �personal reasons,� and gushed about his IBHE accomplishments � all two of them.
Former IBHE board chairwoman Carrie Hightman, who left the post a year ago, told investigators the board had concerns that Reid, who is black and was 67 years old at the time, would sue for race and age discrimination.
Asked if there was any evidence of discrimination, Hightman said no but that it would have looked bad to fire IBHE�s first black director. She also said it appeared Reid was not �going to go away without anything,� according to the inspector general�s report.
There�s more:
� IBHE knew of but ignored red flags in Reid�s past. He was fired as president of Kentucky State University in 2002 after a faculty vote of no confidence in his leadership and accusations that he used university funds to purchase personal items. According to news reports at the time, he wanted $3 million to leave KSU. Hightman told investigators she was aware of the problems in Reid�s background but that the board �was not concerned with this information.� At least one board member, however, told investigators he objected to Reid being hired.
� As IBHE considered what to do about Reid, the board at its Sept. 25, 2012, meeting � during which members discussed the �employment matter� of Reid�s departure � voted to destroy audio recordings of the 2010 meeting in which they gave Hightman the go-ahead to hire him.
� IBHE�s private lawyer, during severance negotiations with Reid�s attorney, asked that Reid agree to be available, by telephone only, for three months following his termination to �assist in the transition to a new executive director,� because, IBHE�s lawyer said, �I want to make sure there are no press issues that he is being paid for services not performed.�
Cooperation between IBHE and the inspector general dwindled as the investigation went on. Reid refused to be interviewed. Some IBHE board members refused to be interviewed. Hightman refused to be re-interviewed.
When the inspector general�s office interviewed IBHE�s private attorney who negotiated the terms of Reid�s departure, she said her attorney advised her not to answer certain questions. And when the inspector general requested closed-session meeting minutes, another IBHE private lawyer refused.
Although most of the events transpired two years ago or more and the agency has new leadership, some who were on the board then still have seats and remain involved in decisions about hiring and transparency. Unfortunately, the newly released report does little to inspire public confidence in the board or its ethical standards.

20 May, 2017 – Plano, Texas, USA – Denise Lion is proud to bring to the attention of the public that her art is on display at Plano Courtyard Theater, the art Exhibition runs from 5/17/2017 until 6/26/2017 and the reception will be held On June 6, 2017 from 7-9pm. The art show has become a center of attraction for art students, art teachers and art enthusiasts. This is because Denise is a self-taught artist but her art competes well with those of trained artists.
Denise has worked in a variety of mediums including oil painting, jewelry making, feature films and videos, photography, 3-D printed art and in digital mixed media. In that endeavor, she uses discarded electronic parts which affect a robotic look that reflects a technological culture. Denise creates a look of entropy in a futuristic environment, creating poignant and psychologically disturbing narratives that are mixed video art with digital prints that may include an assemblage of the electronic parts.
Since 2001, Denise has exhibited her artwork in several locations. Additionally, she has shown her work at City of Grandprarie, Dallas Arboretum, city of Frisco library, Texas Discovery Center Gallery and at the Plano Art Center in Plano, Texas where she, also, served as a member of the board of directors. More numbers of Denise's artworks were featured in a solo exhibition at the Plano Courtyard Theater in Plano, Texas.
The artist was featured in an article in the Plano Star Courier newspaper and on the Plano Television Network. Denise has even had one of her oil paintings entitled "The Conductor" used by a music magazine in Brazil for its cover photo. Denise Lion is listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) for her credited work as set decorator for one of the first virtual reality feature films ever made.
She welcomes all to her show and believes that everyone who comes will have something to carry home. Her work is very popular because she has developed a unique style that she uses to produce them.
About Denise Lion:
Denise Lion (born in 1960) is a self-taught artist who was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and now lives in the city of Plano, Texas near Dallas. Her artworks incorporate the influences of American culture and reflect the vibrancy and colors of her Brazilian upbringing. She's currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts in Art and Technology degree. She attends the University of Texas at Dallas.

Darci Vierra: Back on the field … and then back off the field
Since my post last Tuesday, I've had some good news and some bad news. Good news was that the doctor finally cleared me to play again, so I was able to play against East Bridgewater! Bad news, however, was that we lost, 3-0. To someone just looking at the score it might seem as if my team didn't put up much of a fight, but the game really was pretty even. Our downfall, as usual, was that we couldn't finish the ball. We rebounded the next week though with a 5-0 win against Hull and a 2-0 win against Mashpee. Against Mashpee, I assisted the first goal and scored the second. But, this is where my bad news comes back into play. With three minutes left in the game, I managed to get a concussion. So, back to square one – waiting to get cleared by the doctor once again. I'm hoping I'll be back playing next week. Read the rest of this page »
Bundesliga, Matchday 5: Duisburg continues hot run
By Olaf Goldbecker
1.FFC Frankfurt v SC Bad Neuenahr 2:0 (0:0)
Frankfurt continues to win games in an unconvincing way. A crossbar shot by Lira Bajramaj after a wrong free kick decision was the best Frankfurt had to show in the first half, while Bad Neuenahr had a few chances on counter attacks. In the second half, the home team got stronger but still was not playing like a top team. A more than doubtful penalty decision helped them to get on track, Sandra Smisek converted after 71 minutes. Japanese defender Saki Kumagai decided the game with six minutes left on the clock.

Week 7: Match of the Week – Harvard tops Yale
Harvard vs. Yale
When: Saturday, October 1
Time: 4 p.m.
Location: Reese Stadium, New Haven, Conn.
Final: Harvard 2-1 (OT)
1st Half:
Yale: 1- Meredith Speck, assist by Kristen Forster (17')
2nd Half:
Harvard 1-Melanie Baskind, assist by Patricia Yau (60')
Harvard 2-Peyton Johnson, penalty kick (93')
By Dan Hajducky
Yale vs. Harvard is an athletic rivalry that has been storied since the beginning of American collegiate sports history. The names of the two schools side by side on the scoreboard elicit ancient emotion from bystanders. Harvard opened their halls to students in 1636, and Yale in 1701, and their first athletic competition against each other was on the football gridiron in 1875.
Harvard came out on top tonight on this picture-perfect fall New England day. Peyton Johnson scored the winning goal off of a penalty kick to lead the Crimson to a 2-1 overtime win over the Bulldogs. Read the rest of this page »

Pardon me for replying to a topic that is over a year old -- just wanted to add something that might be useful.
I share the concern about product activation rendering a product unusable. I cannot use PartitionMagic (which I paid for) on a new computer because the software will not function until it is activated. But the product cannot be activated because its manufacturer -- PowerQuest -- is no longer around (so the software tries to dial into a Web site that no longer exists), and the company that bought PartitionMagic -- Symantec -- does not provide support. When they acquired the software, they neglected to acquire the customer registration codes already in existence. (Their customer service reps were useless. One of many reasons I stay away from Symantec software, but that's a different story.)
Fookes Software, which makes Aid4Mail, has this on their FAQs page (Softworkz is the company that handles activation for Fookes):
"Q. Will Aid4Mail activations still be possible if softWORKZ or Fookes Software suspends service?"
"A. If softWORKZ or Fookes Software suspends service, customers will be able to download [either] a patch that bypasses the activation system or a special version of Aid4Mail that does not use any activation system."
Now, I ended up using Emailchemy (from Weird Kid Software) instead of Aid4Mail to convert my Eudora messages to a standard mbox format that PocoMail can read. I made that choice largely because Aid4Mail requires activation not just once, but every single month. That is, the program "phones home" once a month. I think that is excessive, and I don't like being treated like a potential thief, so I went with the other program.
However, I did appreciate the reassurance that if Fookes Software goes out of business, they will first provide customers with a way to bypass the activation step so that the software that customers paid for remains usable. That seems like a relatively simple and straightforward way to handle the main concern ("will my product stop working or be un-installable if you guys go away?").

This question is about dense sphere packings in euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$. By a sphere packing I understand any arrangement of mutually disjoint solid open spheres in $\mathbb R^n$, all of the same radius. The density of a packing is $$\mathrm{lim}_{R \to \infty}\frac{\mathrm{vol }(B(0,R) \cap \mathrm{spheres})}{\mathrm{vol } B(0,R)} $$ if it exists. Here, $B(0,R)$ is the open ball of radius $R$ centered at $0 \in \mathbb R^n$.
In low dimensions, the highest possible densities of sphere packings are known to be attained by lattice packings, that is, packings such that the centers of the spheres form a discrete subgroup of $\mathbb R^n$ of rank $n$. One could speculate that this is so in all dimensions, but I doubt it very much...
Is it true that for some (possibly very lagre) integer $n$, there is a sphere packing in $\mathbb R^n$ which has a higher density than any lattice packing?
Edit -- Note: I didn't mean to ask about an explicit $n$, let alone about explicit packings. So i'm completely satisfied if somebody tells me that there is asymptotically such and such upper bound for lattice packing densities and this and that lower bound for general densest sphere packing densities.

Brentwood Police Officer Steve Arkell was fatally shot Monday afternoon while responding to the report of a domestic disturbance at 46 Mill Pond Road when a resident of the home opened fire shortly after he entered.
BRENTWOOD — Brentwood Police Officer Steve Arkell was fatally shot Monday afternoon while responding to the report of a domestic disturbance at 46 Mill Pond Road when a resident of the home opened fire shortly after he entered.
Arkell, 48, was the first officer to enter the home, though a second officer attempted, according to information shared by Attorney General Joseph Foster during a news conference Monday night. As the second, unnamed officer made that attempt, Mike Nolan, son of homeowner Walter Nolan, opened fire and that second officer was driven out.
Foster said Michael Nolan, 47, the son of the homeowner, is the suspected gunman. He is presumed dead.
Earlier reports stated that Arkell, a 15-year veteran of the Brentwood Police Department, had been medflighted; however it was later learned that those reports were incorrect.
Ongoing emergency communications indicated Arkell did not answer radio calls following the shots.
"The entire State of New Hampshire is in mourning over the tragic loss of Brentwood Officer Steve Arkell," said Gov. Maggie Hassan. "Officer Arkell bravely answered the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice, a heroic demonstration of his commitment to the safety of his fellow citizens. Like so many of our first responders do on a daily basis, Officer Arkell courageously put his life on the line to protect others, and in doing so, was tragically taken far too soon."
She continued, saying she knows "all Granite Staters" owe Arkell, father of two daughters and who wore Badge #87, "gratitude for his service and sacrifice."
Debra Vasapolli, director of public relations at Exeter Hospital, said that one person was taken to the hospital but said that person was not the victim of a gunshot wound. She declined to provide more details.
Officers arrived on scene to the home of Nolan and his son, where the two had been heard arguing by neighbors nearby with loud hollering, a frequent occurrence according to neighbors.
The father, Walter Nolan, 86, rolled out of the home at the order of law enforcement and was handcuffed until it was learned he was not the shooter. He was transported from the scene by ambulance.
Public records indicate the house is owned by Nolan and he apparently lived in the home with his son.
A four-alarm fire then erupted, destroying the home. As heavy black smoke filled the sky above Route 107, an explosion came from within the residence, blowing a significant portion of the roof off, according to neighbor Susan Hughes. She and her husband, Wayne, watched what she described as a terrifying scene, unfold.
"We were home and I thought he was making the noise. And he thought I was making the noise. Then it sounded like something banging, but it was the gunshots," Hughes said.
The next thing she knew, law enforcement were steadying their weapons in the bed of a new truck in her driveway.
She said at times shots would quiet, "but then there were more gunshots. There were bullets coming out of the roof."
"He can't possibly have made it," she said of the shooter, who was still in the home as it became engulfed with flames.
She described the son as a "recluse" and said he had some sort of social anxiety and always keep to himself, never really talking to neighbors.
The father, however, she said they knew well.
"He was a very nice man," she said.
A State Police Humvee came around, she said, grabbing everyone they could to remove them from the scene as it unfolded.
"It's just terrifying. It's scary. I'm shaking all over," she said.
A woman who lived in the other half of the duplex from the father and son, was severely and visibly distraught on scene. She was embraced by neighbors as she stood along the roadway, watching as smoke continued pouring into the sky. She cried out, asking why her home was being destroyed.
The Mill Pond Community was built in 2008. Eighty percent of residents are 55 years old and older with the remaining 20 percent younger, but over the age of 18.
Arkell was a part time officer with his department, according to Brentwood Police Chief Wayne M. Robinson.
Another news conference is scheduled for this afternoon at 1 p.m. The location has not yet been named.
State police continue to investigate, along with the FBI, the State Fire Marshal's Office, ATF and other departments. Nearly 100 firefighters responded to the scene with law enforcement with many remaining through the night.
"Rest in peace. Thank you for your service and your ultimate sacrifice," Hassan said.

Sunny, clear skies will prevail Saturday, but watch for temperatures to fall sharply overnight.
Temperatures on both Saturday and Sunday nights are forecast to drop to the low 40s for much of Volusia and Flagler counties, the National Weather Service said. Temperatures in Southeast Volusia may fall to the mid-40s, while temperatures in northwestern Volusia and western Flagler could drop into the high 30s, with patchy frost possible Saturday and Sunday nights.
Highs Saturday and Sunday are expected to near or at 70.
Big waves are expected to continue at the beach, the Weather Service said, with a high risk of rip currents and a small craft advisory remains offshore.
The Weather Service also warns of a high fire weather danger in inland areas because the humidity is so low.

New Orthodox Institute for Orthodox Studies Formed in the Western American Diocese
With the blessing of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia and His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and Western America, the Saints Cyril & Athanasius Institute for Orthodox Studies is being established in the Bay Area. It aims to become a new centre for the higher-level study of Orthodox theology, history, thought and practice throughout western North America. The Institute will concentrate its activities around provision of a Licentiate Certificate in Orthodox Christian Studies, offered as a blend of in-class and distance learning instruction, the latter provided through a professionally-designed web site that provides access to video lectures, live chat with lecturers and fellow students, audio interaction, on-line assignment submission and marking, and more.
Next month (February 17-18) the Institute's first regional symposium will take place in San Francisco: "Living Symbol: Exploring the Inner Meaning of the Divine Liturgy" and will feature principal speakers Archimandrite Meletios (Webber), Archimandrite Irenei (Steenberg) and Archpriest Josiah Trenham. For more information on the Institute and to register for the symposium, please visit the Institute's web page.

News Release
California Firm Recalls Unwholesome Meat Products Produced Without the Benefit of Full Inspection
Congressional and Public Affairs
Stacy Kish
(202) 720-9113
|EDITOR'S NOTE: FSIS has updated the recall release issued on Feb. 8, 2014 to reflect that beef products associated with recall 13 were shipped to distribution centers and retail establishments in California, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Texas and Washington. FSIS continues to update the distribution list at the link below.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2014 – Rancho Feeding Corporation, a Petaluma, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 8,742,700 pounds, because it processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection. Thus, the products are adulterated, because they are unsound, unwholesome or otherwise are unfit for human food and must be removed from commerce, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following Rancho Feeding Corporation products are subject to recall:
Beef carcasses and boxes bear the establishment number "EST. 527" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each box bears the case code number ending in "3" or "4." The products were produced Jan. 1, 2013 through Jan. 7, 2014 and shipped to distribution centers and retail establishments in California, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Texas and Washington.
FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that recalled product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at: www.fsis.usda.gov/Recalls.
Consumers and members of the media who have questions about the recall can contact the plant's Quality Control manager, Scott Parks, at (707) 762-6651.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. The online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/reportproblem.
|USDA Recall Classifications
|Class I
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
|Class II
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
|Class III
|This is a situation where the use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences.

Toyota Motor Sales & Marketing Corporation (TMSM) is currently exhibiting at the Anime Festival Asia (AFA) 2012 in Singapore, where it is showing "PES (Peace Eco Smile)," an animation made in collaboration with STUDIO4C. It aims to enhance the Japanese content industry by proactively supporting younger designers and artists, and introducing them to the rest of the world. This exhibition is also being supported by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a part of the Cool Japan Strategy Promotion Program.
Launched in 2008, AFA is a large-scale Japanese pop culture event for Southeast Asia. Every year it attracts crowds of fans, with 2011's festival visitors setting a new record of over 80,000. This year's event was also the first foray for "PES" in Southeast Asia and large numbers of visitors from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia passing the TOYOTA booth were all stopped in their tracks by the charming anime. When the mascot character Su appeared in the venue there was also lots of excitement as visitors rushed to take photographs. Su showed how popular he is in Southeast Asia, parading around the AFA venue and mingling with other mascots.
Alongside the buzz surrounding "PES," the exhibits also features the iPhone app Backseat Driver, the first project for ToyToyota and made in collaboration with creative unit PARTY to bring fun to car mobility, as well as 86 World Report (created by DNP + Jetman), an app which lets a Toyota 86 car appear in photographs taken with your phone. Visitors to AFA hugely enjoyed the sense of realism the app provided, with children particularly having lots of fun playing with it.
In addition to the mass media, visitors to the event also included a doctor from the National University of Singapore, a researcher from Kansai University, and the Managing Director of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO). They were all had a lot of interest in the TOYOTA booth.

Diuretics cause the kidneys to remove water and salt (sodium) from
the body. This reduces the amount of fluid in the body and lowers blood pressure. Diuretics increase urination. So they are commonly called "water pills."
In children who have
congenital heart defects, diuretics often are given to
treat symptoms of
heart failure. Diuretics allow the heart to function
more efficiently, which helps improve breathing difficulty and swelling.
Diuretics reduce the amount of extra water in the body. So they relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Call your doctor right away if your child has symptoms of changes in potassium levels:
Call your doctor if your child has:
Other side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference
is not available in all systems.)
Your child may feel more tired or need to urinate more often when he or she starts taking this medicine. These effects typically occur less after a child has taken the medicine for a while. If the increase in urine interferes with your child's sleep or daily activities, ask your doctor to help you plan a schedule for taking the medicine.
Ask your doctor if your child needs to take a potassium supplement or if you need to watch the amount of potassium in your child's food. If your child takes a certain type of diuretic (loop diuretic or thiazide diuretic), your doctor may suggest that your child get extra potassium, because these medicines lower your potassium levels. But if your child takes a potassium-sparing diuretic, your child does not need extra potassium.
Know how to give your child's medicine safely. For help, see the topic Congenital Heart Defects: Caring for Your Child.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Your child may need regular blood tests while taking diuretics to
monitor the levels of chemicals such as potassium in the blood.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

I have a relatively new Intel "Ultrabook", the HP Envy Spectre XT. It has the IDT 92HD99 sound card. Support for this was added to ALSA 1.0.25 based on this changelog:
However the ALSA driver version in Ubuntu 12.04 is 1.0.24. Can someone explain how to update the ALSA driver to 1.0.25? The alsa-base package says it's using a package version 1.0.25-dfsg-0ubuntu1.
Here is my ALSA version info:
!!ALSA Version !!------------
Driver version: 1.0.24 Library version: 1.0.25 Utilities version: 1.0.25
I think I need to get that "Driver version" up to 1.0.25 to get support for my hardware. Any help? Thanks.

Wordless (nearly) Wednesday - Mom and Arion
Families are Forever! ;-)
3 comments:
Before I completely read your post, my thought was "What an unusual name". What are it's origins? It's really beautiful, as is the picture. What were they doing here? I love the corsages!ReplyDelete
As I recall, we did actually found "Arion" in the Bible. They were at a wedding. ;-)
I also wondered about your daughter's name. The friend must have been like an extension of your family, a super good friend. Thanks for sharing the photo.ReplyDelete

Daily Astro-LOA Flash: The solar eclipse in Scorpio is a powerful, intensely focused, edgy time, perfect for cutting through the crud, getting ultra clear and setting powerful intentions. You don't want to sleep through this one. Symbolically the solar eclipse is a new moon, amplified x 100! Tune in to the energy. Recognize in yourself where you crave intense transformations and engage. Check where 22 Scorpio is in your chart and light a fire there. Now!
LA – Tuesday – 14:09
NY – Tuesday – 17:09
LON – Tuesday – 22:09
SYD – Wednesday – 09:09
Notes on Scorpio
1) Scorpio has duel rulers in Pluto (modern) and Mars (traditional), ruler of Aries as well. There is great passion in both of these planets: Mars for survival, power and victory; Pluto for the erotic (in the ancient Greek sense of the word: the kind of experience that brings two or more people together in such a way that a lasting transformation is created).
2) Scorpio rules sexual intimacy, the wielding of power, dangerous sports, life and death situations, emergency condition, taboo liaisons—anything that requires risk or threatens existence. Anything that brings life into clearer focus.
3) Where we find Scorpio in the horoscope is where we need to experience life in the moment and on the edge. It is where we need to merge our energy with others to create something we could not do on our own. This erotic merging can not transpire until we have severed our umbilical ties with the past. To this end, Scorpio is about the enticement to leave the juvenile ties that keep us dependent so we may form adult-to-adult relationships. Scorpio asks that we leave our familiar ground, be it supportive or destructive, and venture out into the world to re-create ourselves anew.
ARIES: The pioneer in you may want to strike out on your own, but the eclipse is itching for contact, connection, action and not the superficial, metaphorical 'one night stand' kind. If you find yourself provoking fights and arguments, rethink your intimate life. Where are you resisting creative engagement with another?
TAURUS: The eclipse in your opposite sign of Scorpio places the emphasis right on you personal, one-to-one relationships. This is about commitment to your social connections, business or otherwise. Are you engaging completely and with your whole heart? Set intentions around living the relationship of your dreams.
GEMINI: Sometimes Gemini can be so busy, so of the mind, that the body becomes a vehicle only, perhaps a neglected one. Use this powerful eclipse to connect with your physicality, set into motion a new health, fitness, exercise routine and discover the meaning of holistic awareness. Mind-body-spirit.
CANCER: You might have gotten into the habit of pleasing others to such a degree that your own personal creative self-expression has suffered, or taken a back seat. If so, you'll want to make an artistic play-date with yourself. Set intentions around honoring your Muse, engaging in recreation and having Fun!
LEO: Much of your intensity is naturally expressed out in the world, in the public performance domain, but this lunar even pulls you into the depths of your Self. Where you crave intensity is in the roots of your being, private, domestic, introspective. Plumb the depths of your soul, for best results.
VIRGO: The urge for intensity comes out in conversation and those can get heated, passionate, volatile. Power struggles demand resolution and this is the perfect time to remind yourself, and others, where you stand: on your own two feet. Discover the power of your words as a creative force to be reckoned with.
LIBRA: Intentions set around the authentic expression of your core values and sense of self-worth serve you well on this eclipse. Transformation is afoot and it's reflected in all the ebb and flow of energy – money, emotions, projects, support. Notice what lights your fire. Are you getting enough of that?
SCORPIO: Your personal new moon, the eclipse brings any power issue home to roost. You meet contrast face on, warrior stance, ready to engage. Remember, it's intense connection you want. Check in to how you're attracting it. Creatively? Destructively? You decide how this goes.
SAGITTARIUS: As much as you like a crowd, this eclipse is about retreat into the realms of the unconscious, a journey of dreams and inner horizons. Set intentions around self-reflection via meditation, service to others less fortunate, connection with all life. Risk something to make a difference.
CAPRICORN: Your leadership capability is longing for challenge, growth and the testing of metal. Are you utilizing your talents to the max? Engage with the 'group', lead the way, push past fears. The realm of one-to-many connection calls. Own your power and set your intentions there.
AQUARIUS: Whatever challenges and potent engagements the solar eclipse brings, they won't be secret. It's all happening in the public eye where you are recognized, talked about, reviewed. Put the focus on your social connections, career and mission in life. Redefinition is in order. Think big!
PISCES: The solar eclipse in your house of new horizons coincides with an intense desire to explore the unknown. You want to expand and are willing to take risks, engage your power, and try new things to do so. Set intentions to make your life bigger, more meaningful, more aware! Ride this wave!
Where is the eclipse in your natal chart? Feel free to share your intentions here. (And remember, the eclipse energy can activate 30 days before or 30 days after the event. Eyes open!)

It's a big week for Danny DeVito: the actor turned 66 Wednesday. Friday marks the 35th anniversary of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," the classic film that introduced him to the public.
And Thursday... well Thursday has become our favorite TV-watching night of the week, thanks in part to "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the beyond-irreverent FX comedy in which DeVito's character stands out as the biggest degenerate among a motley crew of miscreant losers.
After all these years, Danny DeVito is still growing on us.
He's certainly not tall. Few would call him handsome. Some of the characters he's played over the years are more loathsome than likeable, even if glimmers of humanity occasionally slipped through the holes of the dispatcher's cage in his breakout TV role as hotheaded Louie DePalma on "Taxi" in the late 1970s.
After long stints in movies an actor, director and producer (he helped bring us "Pulp Fiction") DeVito heads in the latter half of his sixties again a TV star, playing Frank Reynolds on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." The current season has included episodes in which the sleazy Frank signs up for a sham same-sex marriage and appears in a hilariously offensive homemade version of "Lethal Weapon."
One of the things we love about DeVito is that he offers no apologies for the often-vulgar show. Or for appearing tipsy or worse in at least one memorable TV appearance. Or for starting his Twitter account with a shirtless photo and bawdy tweet.
It's easy to get the man mixed up with some of his more outlandish characters and his public persona, and forget about the varied roles he's played over the years, in films ranging from "Romancing the Stone" to "Hoffa" to "Batman Returns." Perhaps his most memorable movie turn came in his first major part as mental patient Martini in "Cuckoo's Nest," in which he shines amid Oscar winners Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher.
DeVito's secret, if there is one, is that he doesn't take himself seriously and is happy to let his ample body of work speak for itself. That spirit was on display a few weeks back in an "Inside the Actors Studio" spoof – written by David Mamet and posted on Funny or Die – in which DeVito discusses acting in grandiose terms as he's being made up to star in a remake of "Gandhi."
"It's not so much preparing for a part as preparing to being taken over by a part," he bloviates.
Check the video below, and get ready for a few more laughs courtesy of an actor who's survived and thrived for decades in an entertainment world that's a cuckoo's nest unto itself.

It is now 50 years since those events and 2014 will see many 50th anniversaries of things related to the Vietnam War. Those of us who fought for peace during that war hoped that its conclusion would lead to an America that had "learned its lesson" about the morality and even usefulness of aggressive military power, but we have seen that those lessons were never learned. They waited for a generation to pass and American's aversion to wars against little countries that the warmongers derisively called "the Vietnam Syndrome" to ease, and then it was off to Afghanistan, Iraq and the Drone Wars.
In a further effort to expand popular acceptance of their addiction to war, they already have a 13 year long plan in place that will cost tens of millions of dollars, The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration. The bill creating it was signed by President Barack Obama. They plan to use the 50th anniversary of Vietnam War events to remake its image in the public mind as another one of America's "good wars."
We need to do everything we can to oppose this makeover and assure that the true picture of the Vietnam War, an inherently anti-war picture, is preserved and passed down to future generations. With that view in mind, I produced and directed Vietnam: American Holocaust in 2008, and I think it is now more important than ever. I offer it as a powerful tool to subvert this planned makeover. Therefore I am asking you to buy this DVD and show it around in the coming year. You should also consider giving a copy to a local library or school. That will help to assure that a true picture of the Vietnam War will be preserved.
Comments on Vietnam: American Holocaust
It was a holocaust. Every American should see this film!Buy the DVD from the Vietnam: American Holocaust website or Amazon.com
- Ron Kovic,Vietnam veteran & author Born on the 4th of July
I do a lot of public speaking on the subject of Vietnam. As I was watching the documentary, I kept thinking, 'Wow, I can't wait to get this into the high schools.' Clay has done an excellent job of piecing together the historical record. He uses footage, some of which I've never seen before, and it is so good. In my talks, I will say Eisenhower said this or McNamara said that. This documentary shows them actually saying it.
-Scott Camil, 1st Marines (1965-1967), Winter Soldier (1971)
Good job with the film. Very powerful. I think [Clay] did a good job of connecting Vietnam and Iraq without beating it into the ground. White phosphorous moment is particularly strong.
-David Zeiger, Director Sir! No Sir!
I love it .It's the best thing I've seen. I've seen Winter Solider, Hearts & Minds, you name it, I've seen it. This is the best thing I've seen.
-David Slaky, Veterans for Peace, St. Louis
This is the best political video on Vietnam and its historic relevance to our times I have ever seen. You really got to it, from the Garvey connection in Harlem of Ho Chi Min to our support of the French and the British release of the Japanese in Vietnam. It cuts deep enough to enrage me.
-Stuart M. Chandler, Rotten Tomatoes
The best documentary ever made on the Vietnam War.
- Blase Bonpane, Director of the Office of the Americas
Thank you so very much. Thank you.
