WEST WARWICK, R.I. (AP) ? Survivors of a 2003 nightclub fire that killed 100 people and relatives of those killed huddled together in bitter cold Sunday at the site of the fire to mark the 10th anniversary of the fire.
Some brought flowers and paid their respects at the handmade crosses that dot the site for each person who died. Others cried and spoke of missing their loved ones and the difficulty of moving past such trauma.
"People that weren't here really don't understand why we can't let this stuff go. I was 30 seconds away from dying," said Walter Castle Jr., 39, a survivor who suffered third-degree burns in his lungs, throat and bronchial tubes. He said he lost many friends and was in counseling until 2009. Recently, as the 10th anniversary approached, he began having terrible nightmares and had to go back into counseling.
"It's just very tough," he said.
The anniversary of the blaze is Wednesday. The fire broke out when pyrotechnics for the rock band Great White ignited flammable packing foam that had been installed in the club as soundproofing. Last month, a fire at a nightclub in Brazil killed more than 230 people under circumstances that were eerily similar: A band's pyrotechnic display set fire to soundproofing foam.
Among those who spoke Sunday was former Gov. Don Carcieri, who took office the month before the fire and still gets choked up when speaking about it. He remembered the days families waited at a hotel for word that their loved ones' remains had been identified, and the anger everyone felt, asking how the tragedy could have happened. But he also remembered how people in Rhode Island, a state with a population of just 1 million, pulled together to help each other.
"At a time of our state's worst tragedy, in some sense, it was our people's finest hour," he said.
Angela Bogart, who was 19 when her mother, Jude Henault, was killed in the fire, said she has come to know and understand her mother more in the 10 years since she died, especially since she has become a mother herself.
"My mom lives in me in everything I do. I hear her voice wherever I go," she said. "When I walk hand-in-hand with my little girl, my mother is holding her other hand."
The ceremony also featured musical performances, a reading of the names of the people who died and 100 seconds of silence.
While somber, the annual gathering at the fire site took on a more hopeful tone this year than in years past because a foundation set up to build a permanent memorial secured ownership of the site in September after years of trying. On Sunday, the Station Fire Memorial Foundation released final plans for the memorial.
They call for a 30-foot-high entrance gate topped by an Aeolian harp. Wind passing through the harp will create music, a reminder that it was music that brought people together that night.
The permanent memorial will include an individual memorial for each person who died and commemorate the survivors, first responders and those who helped care for families of the dead and survivors in the weeks and months after the fire. It will also include a pavilion as a gathering place.
Families are being asked to remove the crosses and other personal mementos that have been left at the site at the makeshift memorial that has developed over the years. The items left behind will be buried in a capsule under an area that is now the parking lot. There will be no digging on the land under where the club once stood because of the fear of disturbing human remains.
While many of the materials and labor to build the memorial will be donated, foundation officials say they need to raise $1 million to $2 million to build and maintain it.
The foundation hopes to break ground in the spring. Construction of the memorial could take one to two years.
Gina Russo, who was badly burned in the fire and whose fianc? was killed, is president of the foundation and said the memorial would turn the site into something beautiful.
"It's a happy moment going forward," she said.

The Microsoft Surface PRO has the distinction of being one of the only tablets out there that has the ability to use RT and native Windows apps. This will allow people to run Microsoft Office, Farcry 3, Adobe Photoshop and many more popular programs. In this video review, we look at all of these apps, and show you what to expect when running from on the Surface PRO.
One of the things we noticed about major games that require high-powered system specs, is that you have to tweak the settings to run well on the Surface PRO. We tried Farcry 3 and Star Wars Old Republic, the only way these games were playable is if we turned all of the graphic settings to LOW. In most cases, if there were lots of particles or NPC characters on the screen at once, the framrates would begin to clip. I think the Surface is better suited for RTS style games or casual games, rather then cutting edge ones. We also recommend an external Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, rather then using the default keyboard you buy from Microsoft. You don?t want to be hunched over your tablet, and its better to have a complete wireless setup.
One of the boons about the Surface PRO is the stylus that ships with it. You can write on one side and erase from the other. Most of the native Windows 8 apps don?t have the ability to erase anything. This is evident in Microsoft Office 2013 and Adobe Photoshop. The GUI on Photoshop is really small and you really have to squint to see all of the settings, still, running Adobe Creative Suite 2013 is amazing on a tablet. I can see myself doing lots of website editing on Dreamweaver and then using FlashFXP to upload changes to my websites.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? A move down the California coast hasn't changed a thing for Fredrik Jacobson.
One week after his best finish in more than a year, Jacobson birdied the two toughest holes at Riviera on his way to a 6-under 65 on Friday and a share of the lead with Sang-Moon Bae going into the weekend at the Northern Trust Open.
The Swede did just about everything well, from his tee shots to his iron play, just what it takes to get around the classic design of Riviera. And it helps to get a little luck, such as a 55-foot birdie putt from just off the green at No. 9 that bumped along until disappearing for an unlikely birdie.
"That was probably the biggest bonus of the day," Jacobson said.
Bae played in the morning and began with four straight birdies, all of them from tap-in range until holing a 25-foot putt on the 13th. He wound up making birdies on half of his holes in his round of 65.
They were at 9-under 133, one shot clear of John Merrick (66) and John Rollins (65).
Still very much in the picture was Luke Donald, who chipped in twice for birdie and worked his short-game magic around the course for a 66. Playing for the first time in two months, Donald didn't look as if he had much rust. He was two shots behind.
Lee Westwood birdied the last hole for a 68 to join the group at 6-under 136 that includes a pair of major champions, Charl Schwartzel (67) and Webb Simpson (66).
Phil Mickelson was lurking, despite a sloppy double bogey on the 10th hole. Mickelson still managed a 67 and was five shots back.
"I had a little hiccup on the 10th," Mickelson said. "I was just trying to make 4 and I couldn't even do that. But 4 under is not a bad round, with the exception of No. 10. That took a great round and turned it into a pretty good round."
It sets up for a wide-open weekend along Sunset Boulevard.
Twenty players were separated by five shots. That included defending champion Bill Haas (67) and Matt Kuchar, who had a pair of double bogeys in a 73. They were four shots behind. Sergio Garcia bogeyed three of his last five holes for a 73 and was in the group at 4-under 138 that included Mickelson, Ernie Els and Adam Scott.
Jacobson has chronic back issues, and he has them under control at the moment.
Since his lone win at the Travelers Championship in the summer of 2011, he has only two top 10s in official PGA Tour events ? a tie for eighth in Hartford as the defending champion, and his tie for seventh last week at Pebble Beach.
"I obviously take a lot out of that, just being in contention again," he said. "I've had some good practice sessions before, but to bring it on the course and play under pressure, that's what it's about. And the sooner I can get back and put myself in this position where I can get some pressure, that's the best practice you can get."
The shocker was that everyone finished the second round, a rarity at Riviera with a 144-man field. Robert Streb had to make par on his last hole for 70 players to make the cut. Instead, he missed a 5-foot putt and took double bogey. That not only allowed 10 players into the weekend at 2-over 144, but Streb wasn't one of them. His double bogey dropped him to 3 over.
Ryo Ishikawa, who made bogey on the 18th from the middle of the fairway, wound up making his first cut of the year.
Donald, the No. 3 player in the world, was one of three players from the top 20 who had yet to play a tournament this year, and they all played in the same group. Scott is still in the mix, while Graeme McDowell had a 72 and missed the cut by one shot.
Donald doesn't have the well-rounded game that took him to No. 1 in the world as recently as six months ago. His short game has carried him, a product of how much work he spent during his break from tournament golf over the last two months.
He holed a tough chip for eagle on the 10th hole Thursday, knocked in a chip just short of the 15th green Friday, and chipped in from about 70 feet short of the green on the par-3 fourth hole for his last birdie of the day.
"Tee to green, I'm getting closer," he said. "I'm very excited being sharp with my short game. It's nice to be in the mix this early. It's never easy to come off a long break and get straight back into the thick of things. A lot of my score comes from a good short game."
Donald began his rise to No. 1 in the world two years ago by working with Dave Alred, a performance guru from Britain who is famous for working with rugby players such as Johnny Wilkinson. The latest influence is none other than Michael Jordan, though Donald says it's nothing more than spending time with the NBA great.
Donald spends half the year in south Florida, where Jordan is building a home.
Jordan loves to play golf. Donald loves to take his money.
"I usually give him six (shots) a side," Donald said. "And that's usually not enough for him."
Donald won an NCAA title at Northwestern and he first met Jordan in Chicago. He says they are simply friends ? "In no way am I working with Michael at all" ? although it doesn't hurt to be around someone with such a winning pedigree.
"It's great just to be around someone that was arguably the greatest of all time in his sport, just to see how he reacts, his demeanor, see his attitude toward things," Donald said. "It's been nice just to spend a little bit of time with him.
"I try to pick up things from just watching him," he said. "I ask him some questions and he gives me answers sometimes. Certainly, it's not like a working relationship. It's just nice to have access to someone that was that great at his sport."
Donald still doesn't understand how he has played the 10th hole so well this week. That hasn't been the case for others.
Dustin Johnson started Friday morning on the 10th hole and went over the green, and then his next shot plugged slightly in the back bunker. His third shot popped onto the green, just barely, and rolled back into his big footprint in the sand. It took him two more shots to get out, and he was happy to leave with a double bogey. Another short-game error late in his round led to a double bogey, and Johnson had a 69, to miss the cut by one shot.

It?s a perfect vehicle to explore the dynamic meaning in which yoga continuously re-invents itself, from?Vamana?Rishi and his banana leaf days to?the?modern-day?where?yoga is a hip antidote to the stresses of modern life and cheaper than a bar if you want to pick up cool boho chicks.
Add beautiful people and amazing yoga postures to this rich tapestry of tradition and evolution, and even the most jaded celebrities will scramble to be seen at the premiere.
Imagine?
Yoga is the answer to every modern ailment and attracts all demographics.
Instructors can teach after just two weeks of online training. The new ones don?t call postures by their Sanskrit names?though you?ll hear namaste, which means, ?hey!?
Otherwise, there are Ph.D. Buddhist monks from the moon who espouse the minutiae of yoga through metaphors that are way beyond the understanding of the average student.
Hundreds of people fill classes, in itty bitty yogawear?, or oddly perfect designer Rasta fare, complete with matching prayer beads. Mu
Hot rooms are for you, if you want to imagine what your fellow students look like in the shower with their clothes on, and S&M-themed Iyengar?rooms rock the goths and people who read 50 Shades of Grey in the waiting area.
Lulamon?is a brand that Chinese factories rip off for the black market in Bankok?and HongKong, where practicing yoga makes you look as good as American.
The music is hot (like, Britney Spears-hot) and crazy loud. You?ll hear Rihanna, the?Black Eyed Peas and Beyonce. It?s about giving the students a buzz from the rhythms and the sweat.
Students and teachers alike are groomed, athletic, tanned and perfect.
Actors perform complicated yoga postures, because they?re hot. Their musical number ends with an exhale, letting it all go and a namaste.
A reporter interviews the living saints of modern yoga, Madonna and Sting. They talk about how yoga changed their image and even their sex life. And that?s why their next albums are so hot!
Instructors search in earnest for training. Many are expats who have returned from living in India, having pursued their spiritual search. Yoga centers are simple places and difficult to find.
Kirtan is a buzz word mostly unknown, even to teachers. Many centers don?t believe they really need curtains.
Students are health and fitness enthusiasts with a spiritual bent or on a quest to search for meaning to their lives. They are interested in going to India, memorize the meaning of namaste and learn to draw the om symbol. Some take classes to improve their audition chances for this new thing called Cirque du Soleil.
Yoga moves into the gym scene. Baron Baptiste shows up in a head band and killer muscles. He?s one of the first to break the hippie-yoga genre. Baptiste shouts cookie-cutter proverbs and makes you believe that yoga is the best workout you will ever have. Yoga is about strength, and you can do a whole workout in the comfort of your living
There?s a rumor about this guy who does this unchanging yoga routine in freakish rooms that are heated to the temperature of India in a heat wave. That will never take off!
B.K.S. Iyengar is having his day in the sun. He?s the poster boy for yoga in America, with many enthusiastic students flocking to Pune?to take his class, and come home to tell everybody that they took his class?in?Pune.
Ashtanga is the strong, steady current upon which pop yoga grows. It is unchanging and simple.
The actors will wear ordinary clothes or be the smelly Rasta misfit at the front of the class who hasn?t quite left the Goa full moon party of his mind.
Deva Premal makes a grand entrance to sing a powerful number, followed by anybody who had a song on a Putumayo CD. Their songs will be about finding their essence or setting their spirit free.
The music number closes with an?om bell and actors fall silent and meditate to the three distinct tones that symbolize the shape of om.
A reporter interviews the living saint of modern yoga, Deepak Chopra. He says of yoga:
?Every breath you take. Every move you make. Every bond you break. I?ll be watching you.?
He offers mind-body courses at his institute or you can buy one of his?many books at the local yoga center?s book signing.
Woodstock, August 1969.
The scene opens with hippies multiplying fruitfully in the back of Kombis and in the surrounding commune. Yoga is a naked affair as often as it is practiced in bell-bottoms. This is the only social group who knows about yoga.
Yoga is about feeling the universal love, you know mahn? It is to bond with the life forces of the universe and not buy into the capitalist, bourgeois ideas of the oppressive government. Poses are limited to sun 
Actors are semi-naked with flowers painted on their midriffs. Half the yoga group makes out with each other while the other half recites affirmations as they?move fluidly through misaligned postures. There is no yoga teacher, but the commune leader who moonlights?as the resident midwife, herbal doctor, psychologist and impregnator is who people follow.
Actors sing songs of Ravi Shankar and John Lennon. They don?t know what namaste is, but om is simply the grooviest thing.
A reporter interviews the leader of the commune, Praram?Ram Somosa?Govinda?Ganesh. Asked what yoga means to him, he replies:
?It?s the miracle of life, mahn. We are all one, and it?s insanity to believe different. What is mine is yours, you know. Speaking of which, I need to borrow your wife. She looks like she needs to be enlightened. By me, you know??
The set location moves to India.
It?s hot?not Brittney Spears kinda hot; just dusty, sweaty hot with flies that stick on you.
Young boys live in a school, the Yogoda?Satsanga Society of India and learn morals, ethics and academic subjects under shady trees. Each day is book-ended by yoga tradition. Yoga develops their strength, mental fortitude and spiritual stillness; the path will harden what is soft, and soften wha
There are no yoga centers. Instead, students seek out a teacher or attend schools such as the Yogoda.
Gandhi visits the school for a day at the invitation of the head of the school, his friend, Paramahansa?Yogananda.
Actors wear cotton shirts and dhotis. They recite devotional Indian songs. Their yoga practice is without fanfare. Postures are moved into and out of with the same attention that is given to eating or studying.
A reporter interviews the living saint of modern yoga, Krishnamacharya. Asked what yoga means to him, he replies:
?Inhale, and God approaches you. Hold the inhalation, and God remains with you. Exhale and you approach God. Hold the exhalation, and surrender to God.?
Patanjali sits in deep meditation under?a shade tree?behind Trincomalee Harbor in Sri Lanka.
Light brings attention to the shifting of time through the day. Then at dusk, after what seems an eternity, inspiration comes to him from within. Patanjali quickly stands and moves into postures that seem dictated by the sub
He is agile and fluid though he appears very old.
We witness his realization of the truth of all truths about matters of our existence. Patanjali?marks a scratch into his skin until he bleeds. With a small fish bone he writes his realizations down onto banana leaves. The bliss of epiphany manifests as a bright aura around his body.
The actor wears?plain traditional Indian garb. The song is simple and blissful without accompaniment. He sings about his existence that is but for the grace of God.
A reporter interviews the living saint of yoga, Patanjali. Asked what yoga means to him, he simply replies:
?Only with a calm mind can the true nature of existence be realized.?
He grins to the reporter and walks away with the lightest of movements which seem to defy gravity.
There is no more, or less, to yoga than that.
