I ate meat for 28 years of my life and became a vegan last year 2015 after being a vegetarian for a year and a half. For a long time I was blinded by society and by my upbringing. I had been stolen of both my eyes and my heart. I wasn't able to see that animals have a soul just like we do and that they deserve to live and not be killed and eaten by us humans.
I was a vegetarian for year and a half then became a vegan. It started on my Facebook newsfeed. I had a friend who always posted animal rights posts and vegan and vegetarian posts. Back then I was very unaware of my own ignorance as most people are, so I used to joke a lot on her posts about animal rights and about veganism and vegetarianism just like many non-vegans do today. I made fun of vegans and vegetarians and was mean with my jokes because I didn't understand veganism. I was basically just like how most non-vegans are and couldn't understand why anyone would want to live without meat. I thought that animals were meant to be eaten by humans. I thought I loved meat and often said to friends and other people that I would never ever in my life stop eating meat.
After seeing my friends' posts every day I started to sympathize with the suffering animal posts she was sharing and deep down inside I started to realize that she was right. Seeing the suffering animals being slaughtered for food, and the conditions they were living in and being kept in was getting to me. My heart was slowly opening up. I was being filled with guilt for paying for animals to be killed just so that I could have food. I was waking up. When cooking, I started to see flesh as disgusting and started to question why I ate meat, so I started doing my own simple research on google and YouTube. At first I didn't even know the difference between veganisim and vegetarianism. I had no idea. I thought vegans were weak, crazy people and I thought that the movement and lifestyle was for hippies.
After opening my mind a little bit and discussing veganism and vegetarianisim with others on my Facebook who were either vegans or vegetarians, I was sent a video of Earthlings by a friend. She told me to watch it and get back to her with my thoughts and views. I watched the whole movie straight through because I wanted to understand veganism and half way into the movie I decided that I would never eat meat ever again in my life. I was so hurt and so disgusted and almost in tears when I saw how animals were being treated and how they are suffering. My heart had opened. That same day I quit eating meat.
I became a vegetarian. I didn't become a vegan straight away because I was still uncertain of whether I could even make it as a vegan because everything I bought in shops had either cheese, eggs, milk or dairy in it. Most products I wanted to buy had animal products in them. I thought in the beginning, "well at least I'm not eating animals," but as time went by and I watched movies like Vegucated and Cowspiracy and other vegan videos on Youtube and whilst I did more research I started to understand why I should go vegan. One day somehow like a moment of faith or fate I stumbled across Gary Yourofskys - The Best Speech You Will Ever Hear, on YouTube and watched the whole entire speech because his voice immediately captivated me and the way he spoke really got to me and I became so inspired and educated that I decided never ever again to eat any dairy products. I became a vegan.
At first I didn't know if I would even survive. I barely knew where I would get protein. I knew I would lose weight. I knew I would have a hard time adapting to living without both meat and dairy products but I was determined to make it. So, I started filling my cupboards and fridge with all the vegan proteins and foods I could find. In the beginning, I admit, it was tough. I felt like I was hungry all the time. I felt like I always had to eat because my body was now adapting to living without meat.
I lost more than 10 kilos and also lost muscle mass and became so skinny I thought I would never ever be able to gain back my weight back, but at the same time I understood that this was a transition I had to go through. I had been misled and miseducated my whole life so I knew that I was on the right path and would make it and be able to live a healthy lifestyle without meat. I knew that one day I would still be able to train and work out hard as a vegan and that the tough period was just my body adapting to living without meat and dairy products. My heart and eyes had been opened and I couldn't go back to eating meat.
It was a tough transition but I'm overjoyed and so happy that I made it. I'm glad I woke up to the realities of life and to the realities of what's going on here on our planet. I can never go back to eating meat. I'm thankful to everyone who has inspired me. Some people will never know how much they contributed to my transition and how much they educated me and helped me with my awakening, but I hope the universe gives them love and an awesome life and thanks them for waking me up to the realities of meat and dairy. I thank them for helping me open my eyes and my heart to our friends and companions in this spiritual world - The Animals.
When I was losing weight in my transition period, I weighed 76 kilos at the least. I always work out hard. Before I became a vegetarian I weighed around 85-87 kilos when I used to eat meat. Over the years of my transition I haven't trained exactly every single day. Ive had several periods and weeks of resting and not training but I lost a total of ten kilos and weighed 76 kilos a few months ago which is the least I've ever weighed in my adult age. Today October, 28,2016 I weigh 82 kilos and rising. Many believe that building muscles on a vegan diet is impossible and that it cant be done and say that you have to eat meat but as you can see it's truly and fully possible. The meat for protein is like a myth. The objective of my whole transformation is to show others that we can all train and work out without meat. I want to continue training on a vegan diet and to inspire others to go vegan and to open their hearts, their eyes and minds.

Porter Ranch Gas Leak Lawsuit
Porter Ranch Gas Leak
The Porter Ranch gas leak is being labeled the nation's biggest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill.
Between October 23, 2015 and January 5, 2016 78,185.44 metric tons of methane have escaped from Aliso Canyon.
The natural-gas leak erupted at a storage well maintained by Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) is polluting the surrouding area.
Emergency crews estimate that it will take until at least late February or March to plug the leak at the Aliso Canyon Underground Storage Facility.
The gas leak was discovered on October 23, 2015 and has since sickened thousands of people in Porter Ranch and closed schools.
Thousands of residents in Porter Ranch have been evacuated and forced into temporary housing, after exposure to the gas for two months.
SoCalGas needs the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve a rate increase on customers to cover funds necessary for maintenance.
On January 6,2016 Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Porter Ranch.
The state of emergency mean that, "all state agencies will utilize state personnel, equipment and facilities to ensure a continuous and thorough state response to the incident."
Governor Brown's address outlined the following action items:
- Stopping the leak – all necessary and viable action will be taken
- Protecting public health and safety – SoCalGas is prohibited from injecting has into the Aliso Canyon storage facility
- Ensuring accountability- The California PUC will make sure that SoCalGas coveres costs related to the Porter Ranch gas leak
- Strengthening oversight – new regulations will be put in place for gas storage facilities across the state
Porter Ranch Gas Leak Questions
Could the Porter Ranch natural-gas leak have been prevented?
The gas well was missing a safety valve that was removed over 35 years ago. had the valve been in place it could have shutdown the well and the environmental disaster may have been avoided.
SoCalGas who maintains the well, may have know about the potential risk and filed a request for more funds to the PUC in November of 2014.
In their filing they mention a need for the additional funds in order to conduct inspections and repairs. The filing states that "SoCalGas and customers could experience major failures and service interruption from potential hazards that currently remain undetected."
As of July 2014 half of SoCalGas' sotrage wells are over 57 years old. They begin to deteriorate after 40 years.
Why will it take so long to fix?
Engineers speculate that the leak is coming from a hole 500 feel below the surface.
What are the health effects?
Side effects include headaches, nausea and nosebleeds. More severe symptoms include bleeding from the eyes and gums.
It's recommended that those affected keep note of what they smell, how they feel — include all the symptoms and keep medical bills.
This is the first incident of its kind so there is no telling what the long-term health effects will be.
Porter Ranch Gas Leak Lawsuit
An environmental class action lawsuit has been filed against SoCalGas. The lawsuit alleges that SoCalGas and state officials were negligent in allowing the leak to occur.
Residents have suffered physically and financially as a result of their exposure to hazardous gases, chemicals, pollutants and contaminants released by SoCalGas.
The Los Angeles Department of Health Has ordered SoCalGas to pay for residents to temporarily relocate. The lawsuit is asking for monetary damages.
Residents fear the lasting effects of the Porter Ranch gas leak. They worry about declining property values and want any fines assessed against the gas company reinvested in Porter Ranch's residential and commercial areas.
Financial damages include:
- Property or business value loss
- Losses as a result of relocation
- Lost profits or decreases in business
- Costs associated with relocating or closing a business
Physical injuries include:
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Vomiting
- Muscle spasm
- Chest pain
- Dizziness
- Chronic headaches
- Loss of motor skills

Martina Kudláček has developed a unique cinematic legacy by creating discursive, biographical documentaries on experimental cinema personalities. Over the course of her career, she has developed portraits of Alexander Hammid (AIMLESS WALK, 1997). Maya Deren (IN THE MIRROR OF MAYA DEREN, 2002), Marie Menken (NOTES ON MARIE MENKEN, 2006), and Peter Kubelka (FRAGMENTS OF KUBLEKA, 2012). Several years in the making, Kudláček;s latest film production runs four times the length of artist Peter Kubelka's entire cinematic output.
"Kubelka's films play and work with the flow of time, compressing the continuous now and presence. His films digest the manifold things of the universe: the elemental energies of light and dark; movement and stillness; the life of animals and patterns of landscape; gesture and dance. With another mode of time Kudláček shared with us Kubelka's patient pace of conversation and listening, exploring things that mean so much to the artist: memories, souvenirs, his past and childhood, his home. All these things entered into Kubelka's films, but here they are brought to light and made part of his legacy as teacher and as artist. In perhaps the most sensual sequence, Kudláček shows Kubelka as he prepares, cooks and then eats Wiener Schnitzel. Following rather than compressing the flow of time, we watch as ingredients embrace each other: egg, flour, meat and butter. We see the browning and transformation of these things exposed to fire, listen to their ecstatic metamorphosis. As Kubelka says, food is a metaphor that can be eaten, a meal is a work of art that can be consumed and digested. To digest, Kubelka tells us, is to embrace the universe. FRAGMENTS OF KUBELKA allows us to savor, swallow and digest these lessons."

text: Two more weeks of work before I get to go on the lam, become a vagrant again. Meanwhile reading Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women, almost an analog to Jesus' Son minus the subdued violence, and thinking about all the places in the world without a near-daily mass murder problem, without the background radiation of casual misogyny too, if I'm having a particularly utopian fantasy. Every day I try to wander my way back to poems (it's a slow autumn), or to the top of Grizzly Peak on my bike and back, but the innerer schweinhund is well-fed this time of year: ambition gone to the dogs unless one could name as their primary ambition collecting black-and-white panels of Ernie Bushmiller-era Nancy comics. For a time, every year around the holidays, I do.

The Knocks ft. St Lucia - Modern Hearts (Goldroom Remix)
After marinating this remix for one week before posting it I can safely say Josh has cooked up the perfect mixture of Balearic Sea Disco with just the right touch of the 80's twist. Situationally speaking this song can soundtrack many moments, from sunsets, to chillout evenings, it can start a DJ set or end it—it works every time.
If you're into making mixtapes for your friends –I see you Pelle– drop this one in the beginning or the end and watch it bring your selection to life.
Talking about the original with some music critic friends of mine, one believes that the boys could've done better with St Lucia on the vocals. Perhaps. But that said I'm really digging the whole bagpipes thing on the original. So, since I love them both, I'm including the original as a bonus.
Please support my friends Mr J-Patt & B-Roc by purchasing the original on iTunes, it's worth every penny. As a token of appreciation, I give you the fabulous Goldroom remix for free.

Watch the Full Trailer for Lifetime's 'A Deadly Adoption' Starring Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig
"I can't tell how happy you've made us — and you're gonna have a perfect life too one day, I promise."
Lifetime has released a full trailer for A Deadly Adoption, its formerly top-secret TV movie starring Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig.
Ferrell and Wiig star in the dramatic thriller as a successful couple who house and care for a pregnant woman (played by 90210 alum Jessica Lowndes) in the hopes of adopting her unborn child — but then things quickly go awry. The movie is described as a campy, fun, contemporary wink at the genre, and it comes as Lifetime is poised to mark the 25th anniversary of its TV movie business.
The new trailer shows a lot more about why exactly the adoption is so deadly, as Ferrell is put in tempting situations with seemingly dire consequences. Still, Wiig asks, "What does she want with us?!"
Well, Lowndes wants that perfect life that Wiig promised: "I hope it's in a town like this with a family like yours."
A Deadly Adoption premieres June 20 on Lifetime.
Watch the new trailer below.

text: The Independent has published an article about Worcester University's new paid internship scheme. Graduates get paid to do 4 days a week interning in a local business and spend the other day gaining a qualification in business. Good thinking from the Vice Chancellor David Green- he managed to channel money from various funds into this scheme, whilst the government are still umming and aaahhing- rather than acting. The scheme allows students to get work experience, an extra qualification and to avoid further…debt.

Lärmlicht #5 at Birmingham's SOUNDkitchen night, in the new Vivid Projects space on the city's Eastside. Also on the bill were Xenia Pestova, Simon Whetham, and FIRE. Here's Vzor, the second of #5's ten sections.
Excellent fun on a grim and rainy day, and I even made the last train. Fluid Radio has a nice (and… precise?) review here. Many thanks to Annie, Iain, James, and Julien, all of whose sterling work you can find out more about on the SOUNDkitchen site. More home-game music, with a bit of luck, in the not-too distant future…

If you guys know me, you know I can't just have a regular fridge. In my last three places I've re-covered my fridge with contact paper, and even the Winnie(s) got a chalkboard fridge! Refrigerators can be ultra boring, especially if you're in a rental. And if you're renting, it's not like you can paint it or replace it, so you're stuck with it. Not so! Ladies and gentlemen, contact paper is your fridge's best friend.
I've used chalkboard contact paper, woodgrain contact paper, and marble contact paper to cover fridges and I like all three (though I will say the seam on the chalkboard contact paper is more obvious than the other two, just because it's black and the white chalk makes a little line where the two edges of contact paper meet).
What you'll need:
Marble Contact Paper
Gold Metallic tape (I used this stuff)
X-acto knife (optional
Tape Measure
First thing you need to do is remove the fridge door handles, which is very easy. There's usually just a screw on top the door and either on the bottom of the door, or on the bottom front of the door. Unscrew both screws and the handle pops right off. You can screw the handle back on after applying your contact paper, but I liked how clean it looked without the handle and it's perfectly easy to open without a handle.
Applying the contact paper to the fridge is pretty straightforward. I did two vertical pieces of contact paper on the front (one full width, and then one to fill the remaining space), and then the sides also took two vertical pieces, again, one full width and then a smaller strip to complete the side.
Measure how much you need for each piece as you go, cut the piece and then pull a few inches of the backing off to start applying. Make sure your measurements include enough to wrap around the edges of the doors. Apply it to the front of the door, leaving the edges loose to wrap once you've got the front stuck on. Pull the backing off and smooth the sticky side to the fridge in increments so you don't get air bubbles. Once the front is stuck on, go around the edges and stick them down. You'll need to cut a little slice out of the the corner so it lays flat.
Continue that process around the whole fridge till it's all covered!
If you want to put the gold border around the front of the doors, measure how far you want the tape from the edges of the door (I measured 1.5 inches) and put pencil marks at that measurement to give you a guideline for where the edge of the tape will go. Once you've got all your tape placement measured out, you can start sticking the tape on!
Cut a slight diagonal on the end of the tape and put the point right on the corner where you measurement marks are. Stick it down making sure it lines up with the other measurement marks. When you get to the end, cut it at a diagonal again so the point is in the corner. Repeat that process until you've got all your lines done! Now revel in the awesomeness of your swanky new fridge!

I have OpenVPN set up and working fine, however I want to add a new client key to it. Going off of the documentation, I issued the following commands with the following output on a CentOS box.
$ cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
$ source ./vars
NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys
$ ./pkitool client-new
Please edit the vars script to reflect your configuration,
then source it with "source ./vars".
Next, to start with a fresh PKI configuration and to delete any
previous certificates and keys, run "./clean-all".
Finally, you can run this tool (pkitool) to build certificates/keys.
It also says the same thing if I try the command
./build-key client-new. Any idea on why I can't do that? I need to keep all of my other keys, I just need one more. Thanks for the help.

Like the blog implies; 'NaijaIntrovert' is an introverted person that needed a platform to share her daily experiences since she hardly mingle with people hence, this blog site.
NaijaIntrovert loves to travel to new places and no doubt love the 'whir or click' sound of cameras, but, she love it most when she's the one behind the camera. She's energetic and passionate about what she does. Writing is another area that interests her, so she write for a couple of blog sites and website.
NaijaIntrovert might post reviews on movies, books or music as she is a movie freak and a book worm and knows good music when she hears one.
I am not alone, RIGHT?

Located 3160 m above sea level, Shangri La (also known as Zhongdian) is the Himalayan paradise of the 1933 James Hilton novel Lost Horizons (or so they say, although other towns also claim to be THE Shangri La). My friends and I decided to do a weekend trip here to see the mountains and Tibetan culture.
We bought our tickets at Kunming West Passenger Bus Station (Xi Bu Ke Yun Zhan). It's best to take a taxi here (¥25), as it's quite far away.
The tickets were about ¥208 one way. You can only buy one way here. We took the 8pm bus. While it was supposed to take 12 hours, it took 16. This was because the two drivers were chatting all night and then pulled over for 3 hours to nap, instead of taking shifts (???). I'm not sure if this is a regular occurrence.
The night bus was actually quite comfortable, although my taller friends (aka all of my friends) were too tall for the beds, so their legs had to be propped up.
We stopped 2 or 3 times for bathroom breaks. The views are supposed to be wonderful when you wake up, although it's a bit hard to see in a sleeper bus.
We stayed at Tavern 47, an adorable Tibetan-teahouse inspired hostel. Our room was incredibly clean and we had electric blankets to keep us warm at night. If you're there, definitely get the lemon ginger honey tea.
We had planned for one day to hike up a mountain, but due to the bus ride being longer than anticipated, we didn't have time to do so. I think that would have been wonderful, but it is what it is. If you're planning on going to Shangri La and are interested in climbing the mountain, email me and I will give you the information.
Instead, we wandered around the city and peeped into a few temples. We climbed up to the top of 100 Chicken Temple, and the prayer flags lining the entire path up was beautiful.
Also we tried these yak meat walnut balls! Although there is no yak meat in them, they are really worth a try! We liked them so much, we bought bags for the bus ride home!
About half of the old town was destroyed in a 2014 fire, so there's a lot of reconstruction going on. We enjoyed the old town nonetheless.
Make sure to check out the huge prayer wheel. It took about 10 people to get it spinning!
If you want to go to the bigger monasteries, they'll come with a hefty price tag. We decided to skip those, as there are beautiful ones all around the town just waiting to be discovered (and they're free!). Wander around and see what you stumble upon!
Because of our 16 hour bus ride surprise, we decided to take an early bus in order to get to our Monday 8:30am classes. When we arrived in ShangriLa, we bought our train tickets back to Kunming. We got the 2pm bus.
This was actually a WONDERFUL move. Although we didn't have sleeper seats, we were able to see the scenery that we had missed on the way up. The winding roads reminded me of buses in Nepal. That, mixed with the Tibetan culture we had just seen, made my heart ache for my heart home!
Shangri La wasn't the Himalayan hidden gem I was hoping to stumble upon, however, it was a really nice weekend trip. It was just enough of a taste of the Himalayan culture I have grown to love, and it was a fantastic way to spend the weekend.

The Story So Far
(By 'so far' I mean up until diagnosis... for anything after February 2014, you'd need to read the blog section.)
For some years I'd had low grade, intermittent, gradually increasing pain and stiffness in my right hip and pelvis. Every practitioner I saw assumed it was musculoskeletal and I spent vast amounts of time and money with physiotherapists, osteopaths and so on. Over about the same period of time, I seemed more susceptible to exhaustion than other people, but I never found any useful explanation or treatment for that. When my first daughter was just over two, my body became more foreign to me than it had ever been. I couldn't work out what was wrong, but for the first time I was absolutely sure that something was. I said to my husband in the middle of the night that I thought I had a liver tumour, and that my abdomen was immobile, like there was something wrong there too. I speculated about more tumours, about ectopic pregnancies, cysts of some kind. But in the light of day it all seemed like hypochondria, and I (ridiculously, foolishly) told my GP that I thought I was depressed. If I had taken my sense of my body more seriously it's possible that I would have been diagnosed much earlier and would have a much longer life expectancy.
By winter 2013, I needed more sleep than my two year old and I could no longer really function. I argued with my husband, I was ineffective in my PhD thesis writing time. I conscientiously went to the physio and the psych every week, but I was totally overwhelmed by parenting and I quit socialising. Then my husband and I realised, initially at my older daughter's insistence(!) that I was pregnant. I'd actually seen my GP in early pregnancy, but in that conversation we attributed my lack of periods to breastfeeding and ill health; and my vomiting to the gastro that my daughter and I struggled with that winter. This makes me realise how much general practitioners are influenced by a patient's own beliefs about their body. Once I knew I was pregnant, all I could think was that I'd somehow mistaken a tiny, perfect baby for a tumour. I felt monstrous, and so very wrong. I lost any confidence I'd had in my body or myself and became seriously anxious.
As the pregnancy progressed, I dropped into ever more severe pain. I slept on the couch because I could not control my crying in the night, could not stay still. I saw GPs, obstetricians, physiotherapists and osteopaths. My husband and I hired a private midwife to try to reinstate the naturalness of pregnancy and birth. The scattered Greek chorus of health professionals said that I had pelvic instability and almost universally added that I just was not coping with the pain very well. I went to a physio clinic that specialised in pregnancy and pelvises, and had a long series of appointments there. Every treatment exacerbated my pain, but the staff said I must not be following the protocols adequately. Finally they said they couldn't help me, I should just wait until I had had the baby.
But the pain was phenomenal. My last five weeks of pregnancy are a blur of crying and breathing. When pre-labour began I could finally quantify things a little: my hip/pelvic/leg pain was stronger than contractions and couldn't be managed through breathing and movement the way that contractions could. Our main midwife focussed on listening and openness, but she was unavailable at the time I went into pre-labour, and we got the backup midwife. She is a long-experienced practitioner, but in retrospect, I think my lowest point came when she witnessed my pain and went on insisting that it was normal.
The pain I lived with everyday was tougher than my first labour and I could not think for myself at all, but Rainer got me into the Women's hospital for a routine appointment with an obstetrician. She had no theories about what was happening, but she really saw my pain, and offered me hospitalisation in the hope that that would be more restful than being at home. She just had a gut feeling that something was badly wrong. She ordered all kinds of imaging, but the imaging department refused most of it on the grounds that I should wait until after the birth. I had one MRI (I might have to write about that elsewhere), and the consultant's report on that was that it was normal (remember that point). By that time I longed to be in hospital, which is something I'd not experienced before.
I had several days of contractions, but my baby could not get into a good position for birth (in retrospect, because of a large tumour pushing into the birth canal, and because the surrounding muscles and nerves were spasming). A compassionate trainee surgeon managed to get me onto the already overbooked emergency caesarian list ("lets do a sneaky caesar!") and our primary, private midwife raced in on her bicycle, pulled on scrubs and gave additional support. And I was grateful to have a caesar because my sense was that I shouldn't do anything with my pelvis or hip at all. Anouk was born in a glade of clarity and beauty, all the turmoil pushed back into the dark forest, and a good deal of that was to do with the support of our primary midwife, in her moment of grace.
But when the epidural wore off, the pain was very far beyond labour pain. It is likely that the position I was in (flat on my back) caused the tumour to quite seriously compress a bundle of nerves. I was unable to care for my daughter for hours and the nurses said later that it was truly horrible to watch me struggle. The nurses paged the anaesthetists, but they did not respond for perhaps six hours, arguing that post-epidural breakthrough pain should be easily managed. Over and again people would explain to me that pregnancy and birth are painful, and that I should relax. I was so consistently not listened to that I was finally convinced of that 'hyperbolic' claim that pregnant women really are routinely infantilised and ignored; written off as irrational. I was dismissed by so many 'professional' people, over so many months.
After my daughter's birth, I was allowed to have painkillers, and the staff were shocked at the quantities of opiates that it took to get my pain under control. I felt my tension slowly release and was finally able to really turn my focus to Anouk. She had grown well through most of her gestation, but could not quite get enough nutrients for that final growth spurt before birth (I was losing weight at that time too). She was a good height, but thin, and I felt very distressed at having not been able to provide for her properly. So I was immeasurably glad that I was able to breastfeed her, to finish off the work that I wasn't able to complete during my pregnancy. I could fill her tummy, soften the points where her skull showed through her skin and complete what I thought should properly be her pre-natal development. It was a relatively quick and independent process because I'd learnt a lot (out of necessity) from wonderful support people when I'd struggled to establish effective breastfeeding with my first daughter. And I was gratified that hospital staff insisted that the benefits of breastmilk outweighed the risks that came with the trace amounts of opiates. We had our challenges (I could not really sit up), but figured it out.
I'd finally found a way to hold my ground and I resisted my longing to be home with Rainer and Nelleke and focussed entirely, instead, on caring for Anouk and getting a diagnosis for myself. I repeated my story to every medical team doing their rounds, disciplining myself to be calm, precise and relentless. A silent follower in one of the teams turned out to be a young intern on her second day at work, and apparently just because she was diligent and compassionate, she went against standard practice and requested my original MRI image files (that had already been reported as 'normal'). And when she got them, she came into my room shaking with adrenaline, asking rapid fire questions.
She showed me the mass (that we now know as the original tumour), and it was around 9cm in diameter, taking up a quarter of the screen and running over the edge of the image. "Does that look like a mass to you?! Can you see it?!" she demanded of me, outraged and shaking. She found the trainee surgeon who'd done my caesarian in the tea room, and the surgeon, also a young woman, said that she'd felt a large, hard mass behind my peritoneum, but that her supervisor didn't think it was significant and didn't include it in the notes.
So my original mass was not observed by senior staff who'd analysed a picture of it and felt it's solidity in the back of my pelvis. I was diagnosed only because those two young women noticed things outside their area of responsibility, kept note of obscure problems and talked to each other in the tea room. This isn't just chancy, it's about being alert and perceptive, and I am profoundly grateful to those women. I told them that all week, day after day, while they tried to make me see that the news wasn't actually very good. To the credit of the senior obstetric staff, they were absolutely open about their oversight and their admiration for the initiative of the junior staff. They apologised formally to me and the treatment I received from then onwards was impeccable. The only gap is the silence from the consultant who interpreted the MRI, but I know that a formal complaint was made about that.
A massive benefit of that initial diagnosis - the presence of a mass - was that my sanity was restored to me. I had believed somehow, that pregnancy and cancer were contradictory, that I had been shamefully wrong in my belief that I had a tumour. But, I repeated to myself for days and nights: two contradictory conditions could indeed occur simultaneously. I had a powerful sense of coming home to myself every time I reinforced the idea. Two contradictory conditions had occurred simultaneously. I had a pregnancy and a tumour. I had done my best Anouk and I had both survived extraordinarily well. At the time I attributed it mostly to her life force (she was conceived in a chancy way too), but increasingly I feel like the struggles I've had in raising my daughters this far are the most meaningful work I've done in my life. I felt my pride recently when a doctor told me it was impossible to carry a pregnancy with a 'tumour like that' and I said I'd carried Anouk to term when it was only 2cm smaller. There's a strength in my battered body, after all.
Anyway, once the medical teams agreed that I had a large retroperitoneal mass, I had CT scans and a chest x-ray, a biopsy, and then a port inserted. With each procedure, I consulted a pharmacist who specialises in breastfeeding medicine and we figured out ways to avoid exposing my daughter to problematic contrast dyes and anaesthetics. I kept focussed on this everyday work - caring for Anouk, getting a diagnosis - and distracted myself from the possibilities for as long as possible
I received my diagnosis from my oncologist, who now feels like a key person in my life. I was sitting in a wheel chair, with my baby in my arms, my husband by my side and my older daughter at creche nearby. We'd originally chosen the Women's hospital because Rainer and I knew the geography of that area so deeply that we thought it would help orientate and comfort both of us if labour was hard. I felt the locatedness of each of my darlings very intensely at the moment I received my diagnosis, more so than anytime connected to childbirth. My oncologist promised that I would never have another week like the one I'd just lived through (a birth plus a terminal diagnosis!) and I was already sceptical, thinking that death must be worse. But she helped me to understand, to make well-informed, if grief-filled, decisions. I weaned Anouk and began chemotherapy. She was a day shy of three weeks old.

Loading up virtual machines is an easy to accomplish task, but configuring them properly is an ongoing balancing act. It's very likely that in a virtualized environment you will over/under provision resources to a VM.
Adjusting CPU or Memory resources under Hyper-V is simple. You shutdown the VM, open the VM's settings, and increase or decrease the allocated RAM or virtual CPU cores. When it comes to shrinking or expanding a virtual hard disk however, things get slightly more complicated.
The reason for the added complexity is that the VM thinks it's running on physical hardware, so when you expand a hard disk, you need to let the OS know about your plans for it before you can start using the space just like if you were to add an unformatted hard drive to you desktop. To do this, you'll probably want to boot the VM onto a Live OS disk to aid in the partitioning. In this guide, I'll be using Parted Magic.
Step 1
Start by shutting down the virtual machine. Once you have done so, right click on the VM and choose 'Export'. This will create a backup of your VM in case something goes wrong. After all, editing drive partitions can be very dangerous if something goes wrong.
Now, right click on the VM and choose 'Settings'.
Next, expand the IDE Controller node and select the virtual hard disk you want to expand. On the right side of the window, click the 'Edit' button below the Virtual hard disk path.
Using the Edit Hard Disk Wizard, choose the 'Expand' option, then click next and set the new disk size and complete the wizard. This will expand the virtual hard disk.
Step 2
Obtain an ISO of Parted Magic.
In your VM's settings window, mount the .iso file for Parted Magic to the DVD Drive, boot the VM, and connect to the terminal session.
When Parted Magic posts, you'll have several choices to boot into. You should stick with the Default 32 for a 32 bit OS or Default 64 for a 64 bit OS.
Once the Live OS loads, you'll be greeted with a full GUI along with a multitude of system tools. In this case, the tool we'll be using is the Partition Editor. Open it by double clicking the icon on the desktop.
Step 3
You'll be greeted with the GParted partitioning application and you should see your expanded space in the top graphic in grey and labeled unallocated.
It's much easier to expand a partition than it is to copy a partition to a new location. In order to expand a partition, the unallocated space needs to be positioned next to the partition you are trying to expand.
In my case, I need to move the extended partition to the right so that I can extend the boot partition.To do this, I right click the extended partition and choose Resize/Move. Then I drag the partition all the way to the end to consume all of the unallocated space, then press Apply.
Next, I right click the linux-swap partition and choose Resize/Move again. This time, I drag that small partition all the way to the right so that the unallocated space is at the beginning. Then right click the extended partition again, and this time grab at the beginning and shrink the partition all the way to the right. to create free space at the beginning and press Apply.
You now have unallocated space next to the boot partition that you can easily grow into.
Step 4
Now you can extend your partition. To do so, right click the main partition and choose Resize/Move. Drag the slider all of the way to the right to consume the additional space, then apply. This will grow your partition into the new space.
Step 5
You're done extending your partition. Now you can shutdown the VM and unmount the DVD. When you reboot the VM you'll have gained the new space in your OS. You can verify this by running fdisk -l in the terminal.

For as fancy and awe inspiring as truffles can be, they are actually quite simple to make – with a few handy tips, pointers and techniques.
Here Is A Standard Recipe That Will Make 2-3 Dozen 1 Oz Truffles:
1 lb chocolate
1 cup (0.5 lb) heavy cream
1 lb chocolate
50/50 Cocoa powder/sugar
Melt the chocolate to about 95-105 F. Warm the cream to 95-105 F. These temperatures are important. Too hot and the cocoa butter may separate.
Combine gently to form the filling. It will be a little thick (chocolate – water – seizing – ok this time). Let cool for a few hours, undisturbed, without stirring, until set up. Stirring may make some of the cocoa butter want to 'break' and you can end up with a layer on top. Also, if you don't mind lecithin, this is a case where lecithin in your chocolate will greatly reduce the chance your chocolate filling will separate.
Once cool and firm, using a spoon, gently scoop out a bit of filling and using your (clean) hands, roll it into a nice golf ball sized ball. As this filling melts readily, your hands may well become quite messy. I like to form up all the truffle centers first, setting them aside to firm back up if they melted a touch.
Technique time.
Next, melt your coating chocolate. Pour a bit (a few ounces) on a warm plate (I just heat it in the oven). Take your truffle center, and roll it into the chocolate with ONE hand. After I've rolled a pair, I transfer the pair into a bowl I've placed my cocoa powder mixture into. Using your OTHER hand, dust the truffles (roll them around) with the powder and set them aside to harden.
Doing it this way will keep your hands neater – otherwise you will end up coating both hands in chocolate and powder and that's just a pain as you contaminate both.
That's it really. There are LOTS of variations of recipes. You can add in a tablespoon of butter and/or corn syrup into your filling (keeping the chocolate/cream ratio 2:1). You can add in flavored oils (orange, lemon, vanilla) to your filling. You can roll your truffles in cinnamon, cardamom, or whatever inspires you. A little rum or whiskey can go into your filling. If you have a tempering machine (I don't advise it if you don't) you can omit a powder coating (which hides bloom – hint, hint) and dip your filling right into tempered chocolate. Really, the options are endless.
But in the end, 2:1 chocolate to cream. Chocolate exterior. Powder coating.

The guy at the desk was very good and cool. However I went there for laptop issue, I mentioned small problem iPhone voice quality. He repaired pretty quickly and didn't charge for quick fix. I strongly recommend this place for phone repairs.
Great and honest service! Timely, and very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this because they replaced my battery and saved me the cost of a new phone. I will definitely come back! :)
These guys were awesome! They took care of me with no problem! Safe is one of the sweetest and dear person, and he made sure from the start that we were happy with the ending results! Highly recommend Dr Cell Phone!!
Dropped my phone as I got out of my car from work at around 5:40. Went into my apartment and Googled around a bit for a new phone and came across this place. GREAT reviews on Google. Called them at 6:20, the gentleman said that they close at 7, but if I could get there he could repaid my Iphone 6s Plus right away. I got there at 6:45 and within 30 minutes the phone was fixed. He even stayed a bit after 7 and saved me $10 when he didn't have to, what great customer service.
Great customer service, Saif was so helpful. I thought my phone screen was cracked, but it was just the temper glass. It saved me so much money$$$. Said also fixed my Apple cd attachment to my computer and gave me a great deal. I will be a customer for lif and recommend this store !!!
They are awesome and honest. I brought my iPhone 4s for repair as it was having vibrating screen at random occasion. After observing the symptoms, they advised me not to spend any money on this phone as it could be a motherboard issue. I was so much surprised as if they wanted they could have earned about 30 bucks to open the phone and tell me the same thing. They are also very time punctual in delivering the repaired item. Additionally, they will give you the exact estimate of the cost involving part and labor, so you will not have any unpleasant surprise of paying more than expected. I do recommend them for any cell phone and laptop repairs.
Nice customer service helped with my phones charging port , special thanks to Safe and Jeff funny people made my day.
An incredible customer service experience like never before , Jorge and Ricardo took my iPhone that was immersed in water and little hopes that it would come back , with persistence and tenacity and several techniques that they utilized the device finally came back alive , basically as if nothing happened. As a business owner that i am and no time and a lot of info in the device , I am very satisfied with the outcome and their pride in what they do , I am really impressed
I just had my iPhone 6 screen repaired. These guys were amazing here in Frisco. I own retail stores in Texas and really appreciate good customer service and these guys blew me away with kindness, professionalism, and expertise! Jeff and Matthew were awesome!!!
I recently went on vacation and a friend of mine pushed me into the pool with my iPhone still in my pocket. Almost immediately it stopped working. I could not get it to turn on nor did I back it up to my icloud. I took it to the Apple Store when I came back to see if they could fix it or at least figure out how to back up my data and they said they couldn't do anything about it. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Cell phone so I immediately took my phone there for repair. After a few days I received a phone call that they were able to bring it back to life! Dr. Cell phone was able to save my precious photos and valuable data. Truly amazing customer service! I finally learned my lesson to always back up my iPhone before vacations going forward. Thanks to everyone at Dr. Cell Phone!
Super Fast Service! Always have what I need. A++
They were great!! Jeff and Ricardo were MORE than accommodating! They got my phone done in less than 30 min and really looked out for me! I definitely recommend Dr. Cellphone!
Just had an iPad 4 repaired by Dr. Cell Phone. Took less than half a day. Fast and very friendly service. Work was done perfectly. Not sure what else I could've asked for! Great job guys!
I shattered my screen back in July and lost use of my phone. I came into Dr Cellphone and they replaced the screen in about an hour. Well months later I had another issue with the screen and even though I was outside of warranty, since they were the ones to repair it, they fixed it complimentary to me. I highly recommend them!!

Uniting Earth and Sky:
A 100-hour Immersive Yoga Teacher Training on Kauai
Led by :: Josh Schrei and Carolyn Dumeyer
With Special Guest Teachers :: Tulasi Adeva Perrin, Cigall Eacott
and Amy Lin Blankenship
March 10th - 26th, 2017
The ancient yogic texts speak of the energetic polarity between the upward rising air element and the downward rooting earth element. In many early yoga traditions, the goal of physical practice was to unite these two energies in order to harness their vitalizing and calming qualities. This balance of earth and sky relates to how we cultivate root and lift in our asana practice, how we find grounding and vitality in our lives, and how we anchor our practice into day to day life.
Join instructors Josh Schrei and Carolyn Dumeyer for this deep dive into the elemental roots of yoga practice on the magnificent island of Kauai, where earth and sky meet in the middle of the magnificent Pacific Ocean. During this 2.5 week immersive teacher training program we will explore the elemental teachings at the heart of the yogic tradition while giving students the tools they need to begin a path of teaching.
Together we will explore the energetics that are at play in each yoga pose, as we build our understanding of alignment, hands on adjustments, breath mechanics, verbal cues, eastern and western anatomy, and yogic teachings on diet and lifestyle. Our time together will be rooted in practice, steeped in meditation and chanting, and rich with story and myth.
Open to senior students and beginners alike, and designed both for those who want to teach and those who want simply to deepen their practice, the training will give students 100 hours of yoga alliance credit towards their 200-hour teaching certification.
Carolyn is lifelong practitioner of the healing arts and the owner of Metamorphose Yoga. Josh is a lifelong student of the traditions of India and the founder of three respected yoga teacher training programs. Other guests include Metamorphose instructors Tulasi Adeva and Amy Lin Blankenship and Body yoga instructor Cigall Eacott.

Chiro Kids
Kids and Chiropractic
Three days ago I noticed my youngest coughing a little. I didn't really think it was anything so I basically ignored it. My kids don't get ill often, and when they do, it's full-on but just for 24 hours or less. So the next day when I heard my little one waking up in the morning with this nasty cough, and then added sniffles, I thought OK, gotta help her body. She needs an adjustment!
So before school that morning I adjusted her. She knows that when her body is fighting something inside that it's important to get adjusted to help keep her system strong so her amazing little body can heal as best as it can. After the adjustment I high-fived her and said, "Power's on!"
Later that day when I got home from work I asked my husband (who had been with her most of the afternoon after school) if she had been coughing. I also noticed that she seemed much better and coughing a lot less. My husband said she's definitely better and coughing less.
It always amazes me how kids bounce back and respond with just one adjustment.
As parents we want the best for our children. When we see that our children are fighting something and their bodies are doing the best they can by adapting, their little bodies work hard and we see them as 'ill'. Rather than see them as ill, embrace that they are adapting - their bodies are doing what they are supposed to do inside healthy function.
When my kids have a fever or they clearly don't feel well, they know I'll be adjusting them at least once a day. People respond to that by being surprised, "Really? Once a day?"
Sure! How many times a day do you give your child a fever-reducing tablet, or cough syrup, or other drug to mask the symptoms? Once, twice, maybe three times a day? I know it's very hard to see your child feeling unwell. It's scary. I know. But the next time their bodies are fighting something because their bodies are adapting and doing what they are designed to do, consider finding a pediatric chiropractor to get them adjusted. That adjustment will help boost their body's healing ability. Chiro kids adapt faster, recuperate easier, and feel more confident knowing that their bodies heal from within. Your job as a parent is to provide them with love, care, and affection while they rest and heal.
That's the formula for your child's health. Adjustments and love.
Chiro kids. I love chiropractic and I love adjusting kids.

Is Sonia Gandhi a Real Indian Saint Accused as an Italian Carpet Bagger?
|Rajiv - Sonia File Photo Courtsey https://www.facebook.com/malayalamlive
In fact, the personal and emotional turmoil Sonia was forced to face on account of her own personal choices are harsher than those experienced by many of India's great saints.
Today, Sonia Gandhi, like her countryman Caesar, had to do the ultimate sacrifice by taking a double stab for the sake of India, a country of saints, which must earn her sainthood.
In a single speech, Sonia had to acknowledge the cause of the Tamils who murdered her husband for their cause and denounce Italy, her country of birth which is in a dispute with India, a country she has adopted.
Italian waitress
Many in India believe, based on the western media which has proclaimed her the 4th richest politician and powerful woman in the world, that Sonia is a corrupt foreign intruder, out to destroy India. Her detractors however cannot explain what she and her family are doing in the heat and dust of Delhi, leading a frugal lifestyle, rather than basking on a sunny Mediterranean Island if she owns billions.
Not a lot is known about the circumstances in which Sonia met Rajiv, the scion of the Gandhi family and agreed to marry him despite great cultural and social differences. For a young Italian bride, hardly aware of the prejudice and taboo of archaic India, the very thought should have given nightmares.

Time: 6:30 pm
Location: 501 Hamilton, Department of Italian
Fifteen manuscripts written by, or belonging to, Ludovico Marracci were discovered in 2012 in Rome, in the Library of his Religious Order (Mother of God, Piazza dei Campitelli). This material includes a grammar of Arabic, a dictionary Latin-Arabic, a pair of other treaties, and above all the preliminary versions of his translations and introductory parts to his major work: the translation and commentary of the Qur'ān, which was published in Padua in 1698. There are four complete versions of his translation, which attest his work on the Qur'ān. These versions further attest the use of Quranic commentaries in his work and bears testimony to the Arabic and Islamic literature he had at disposition and circulated in 17th century Rome, along with his painstaking work on the Latin remaking paralleled by a growing knowledge of the Islamic exegetical interpretations.
Roberto Tottoli is Professor at the Università degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale. He is Chair of the Department "Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean". His publications include Biblical Prophets in the Qur'ān and Muslim literature and The Stories of the Prophets of Ibn Mutarrif al-Tarafi.

Geeky, I know. Extremely!!
I was chatting to someone last night about light fields and it reminded me just how mind blowing they are. Essentially a light field camera captures 4D light information rather than 2D like a traditional camera - rather than recording a flat image it records the light levels in a volume allowing you to do all manor of clever things in post-production.
For anyone interested in exploring the frontier but is short for time check out this video,
For anyone hungry for more intel this podcast from the CG Garage Podcast delves in deep(ish).

About the Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust
The Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust has been established to provide for three different types of Church of England school within the Diocese of St Albans:
- Schools requiring rapid improvement having been placed in Special Measures and subject to a directive Academy Order
- Good or Outstanding church schools within the Diocese of St Albans
- New schools within new housing provision where the Diocese of St Albans is the identified sponsor
The Trust will consider applications from other schools supportive of the Trust's ethos on a case-by-case basis. This will include non-church schools wishing to join with protected non-church school status.
Following the principles used to establish Church of England schools in the 1800s, the Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust will remain committed to, where possible, providing a locally-based, high quality education that enables schools to meet the needs of their local community, whilst benefitting from a regional network of support. Academies that are part of the Trust will retain their name, school uniform and local customs, and the local governing body will, through a delegated scheme of earned autonomy, retain local control of schools where appropriate.
As a Church of England Multi-Academy Trust, our commitment to a locally-based education will be delivered through an approach consistent with the faith and practice of the Church of England. All academies in the Trust will be expected to deliver the curriculum within a programme of Christian values and virtues in an overarching ethos that sees each individual child as being of worth and having the capacity to grow into a fully rounded person. Community is another important concept and individual academies within the Trust will have access to events and training available to all schools and academies within the St Albans diocesan schools network that will ultimately include local, school-led, Church of England multi-academy trusts, stand-alone academies, federations and CE maintained schools.
Academies within the Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust will remain part of the St Albans diocesan network of schools. Currently, this consists of 136 schools comprising maintained schools, stand-alone academies, CE federations and a free school, representing all phases. 92.6% of all provision and 94.5% of primary schools within the Network are currently Good or Outstanding.
Performance is high and all schools within the network have easy access to examples of outstanding provision and peer-to-peer support. This includes NLEs and LLEs where required.
Schools joining the Trust will benefit from education delivered within a Christian ethos committed to enabling schools to meet the needs of their local community and will have access to:
- specialist school improvement support – School Improvement Partners and Advisers
- 20 educational consultants, school leadership support and development
- emergent leadership development programmes
- established partnerships with leading school improvement providers such as Herts for Learning
- a training and development programme delivered by the Diocesan Board of Education
- personalised training delivered through the Diocesan Board of Education's Service Level Agreement
- national training networks such as the National Society's Foundation for Educational Leadership
- in-house business management and financial management services
- a developing range of centralised policies
Current Development Plans
The Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust is a newly established Trust, having received approval from the Regional Schools Commissioner on 20th July 2016, progressing through the approval process in under six months. There are currently 4 primary schools and 1 secondary school in the Trust, with a further primary school due to join in February 2018.

onelinedrawing - The Volunteers
On The Volunteers (JT1093) Jonah Matranga seamlessly integrates visceral rock with the intimate, sharp lyricism that has made him one of the underground's most beloved songwriters. A stunning album of shimmering, eccentric pop rock made spontaneously in many different places, the performances are immediate and diverse, with Jonah's voice more direct and dynamic than it has ever been. This CD is enhanced with demo versions of album tracks and additional liner notes written by Jonah.

I am not one of those moms who can't get rid of books. I am a purger. And I have no problem purging books.
The way I see it, that is what libraries are for. Libraries house my books.
But even I have my soft spots and my memories, so I must admit that there is a section of our hallway bookcase that is more than just a shelf of books.
It is a collection of memories that will always be exempt from purging.

Gooseneck fittings, aft mainsheet lead, outhaul sheaves:
The boom came the proper length which meant there were no scrap pieces to use for molding backing plates or to use for reinforcing. I made a mold out of foam to help mold the gooseneck fittings. This was made by hot gluing sheets of foam insulation together to make a block and then sanding it using the outside of the boom and sandpaper.
The outhaul fittings provided from Windrush would have put the top of the boom below the boom band and required moving the gooseneck. I also did not like the idea of installing a goosneck fitting with fasteners. I first made a small riser pad using epoxy and 1/4" chopped glass and some colloidal silica. I also used some black pigment for cosmetic purposes.
The idea I came up with was to use the supplied part and incorporate it into a bonded gooseneck fitting as Larry Tuttle and others have done. I liked the idea of using the stainless fitting so that the mating surfaces would be a metal/metal interface and would not wear over time.
The mold was lined with packing tape and sprayed with McLube. I wetted out 3 layers of 6 oz carbon and layed them up in the mold. Next, I set in the pre-fabbed risers along with more epoxy/chopped glass/filler/pigment mixture. I set the stainless fittings on a fid(sprayed with Mclube) that perfectly matched the ID. This way I could align the fittings on the center line of the mold even when I burred them in the epoxy mixture. At this point I was not optimistic as the whole deal looked super ghetto-fied when it was all laid up.
The parts were un-molded the following day after 24 hours cure time.
Next I trimmed the parts with a hack saw.
I then began sanding the parts. This was more of an undertaking than it had to be due to my sloppy molding job. That said the parts tuned out far better than expected after they were sanded and fit to the inside of the tubes.
Gooseneck fitting inside the newly fabricated part. Note that this stainless liner will not "wollow out" as a composite receptacle will over time.
Fittings shown inside the boom sections. Note this is not super high end fit/finish, but they should be bomb-proof which is what I care about.
Fittings were then bonded in using the same mixture used to fabricate the parts. Tonight I will laminate a few layers of carbon cloth over the top of the fittings and onto the tube. I am very happy with how these turned out.
This fitting was also provided by Windrush. These will go on the aft end of the boom on the bottom to lead the aft mainsheet block. The block will be lashed around the top of the boom and then through this fitting to keep it from angling forward. Note that I am NOT tying the block directly through this fitting. It will be subject to shear and very minimal peel loading.
The areas were masked off and the bonding surfaces were then sanded.
Parts were bonded on with epoxy/silica/glass mix. Not that these parts were a hollow skin. the entire cavity was filled with the bonding mixture for strength and I will have to re-drill the hole after cure.
The first holes I put in the sections were the outhaul sheaves. Note that before I did anything I very carefully marked the top and bottom along the center line of the boom with masking tape. The booms have a thicker wall at the top and the bottom so it is important to get those types of details from the manufacturer before you cut anything. Also note the hole has no sharp corners which have a higher stress intensification factor than curved corners.
Outhaul sheaves fit. These will be through bolted with machine screws/washed/nylon lock nuts. Cutting holes like this is far easier than in an aluminum section. I used a Dremel and a cutoff wheel to make a box and then sanded it to size with a small fine-grit abrasive wheel.
Stay tuned, more to come...

Yes folks, I'm as surprised as you. AMD's Brazos 2.0 platform is nothing but a rebrand of the previous family, but there are a few extra bits here and there that may make it worth the purchase for low-cost system builders. Brazos 2.0 still stays under the 18w maximum thermal design power and features the "new" Radeon HD7310 and HD7340 integrated graphics cores.
Because the original Brazos was a great product in its own right, AMD pushed up the clock speeds on both the processor and GPU, figuring that the extra power consumption would still stay within their power requirements. It then re-branded the chips and the graphics cores, figuring that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Hit the jump for my very short analysis.
Brazos 2.0 currently consists of two chips, the E1-1200 and the E2-1800. Both are dual-cores and clock at 1.4Ghz and 1.7Ghz respectively. Its a pity that AMD decided to not include two extra virtual threads as that would have helped Brazos compete against the Intel Atom N2800 featuring four threads. What's appealing about the platform, though, is the incredibly low power consumption when the chips are in idle. When at full load, the chips ramp up to the clock speed required for their respective usage, e.g. at full graphical load, the GPU boosts up to its maximum clock speed. This makes Brazos 2.0 a good enough update for a rebrand. The E1 and E2 series performs about 10 to 15% faster in most scenarios, but graphics performance doesn't take much of a leap because the cores themselves haven't changed.
So what else could be better? The Brazos boards now support USB 3.0 ports and native SD card readers, although that isn't exactly a technological leap. What it does mean is that we can expect better-equipped Nettops based on these boards and HTPC users would be satisfied with the broad connectivity options and the relatively flexible expansion options. AMD's Steady Video and Quick Stream technology also hop on board from the bigger Radeon HD7000 brothers, further cementing the board's media-handling capabilities. Idle wattage even drops down to 750mW, promising up to 5% more battery life to netbook users.
It might not be the kind of upgrade you were hoping for, but Brazos on its own does very well for itself. All that's left is for AMD to get them into low-cost tablets and keep the netbook love alive – cornering those two markets is a very important to-do on Rory Read's long list of improvements. Thanks to updates in OpenCL support, the integrated Radeon GPU will also be able to flex more of its muscle in various workloads especially when it comes to low-end content creation and consumption.
All in all, a good enough update and I look forward to seeing where AMD goes with Brazos in future.

Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges said the Republican National Convention in Cleveland has gotten off to a good start.
"It's a great plan put together by the folks at the host committee and the RNC and the city of Cleveland," he said Sunday.
Borges said so far he has heard about no security events and he said the city can handle the crowd.
He said about 50,000 people are expected for the convention.
"Seventy thousand people go to a Browns game every Sunday, so it's nothing the city can't handle," Borges said. Last month, more than one million fans were downtown to celebrate the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA championship.
The Republican Party is expected to nominate Donald Trump at the convention this week, but Borges said the Ohio delegates are all voting for Kasich.
"He won the state, we're bound on the first ballot," Borges said. "After this week we'll all get to work to make sure we carry the White House.

Topol's farewell tour.
Originally uploaded by misstraceynolan.
I probably should have dyed my hair blue this morning, to be adequately prepared for today's theater adventure. The average age of the audience members would easily have been 85. But it's little wonder really - the star of the show was the one, the only TOPOL in his farewell tour of "Fiddler on the Roof".
My sister was never far from my mind as I watched Topol shimmy across the stage in "If I were a rich man" (do be do be do) - Jem's version of this number is rather like the Sugar Plum Fairy on crack - yet she will perform it upon request...and sometimes completely impromptu.
Topol has performed the role of Tevye over 2500 times and you've got to give props to a guy that can do that. I don't know how old Topol is for sure, but the man still has "it". The energy is boundless and the deep, booming voice is at once calming and commanding. In some scenes, he sounded like Andre The Giant and so I got the giggles. The old ladies tsked me all around. More giggles from me.
I was not laughing, however, during intermission when I tried to get to the bathroom. Trying to get 3,000 eighty-five year old women to pee in the space of 10 minutes is like herding cats. This time it was MY turn to tsk. I am so impatient when I need to pee.
After the performance I was in the mood to be indulgent, so I called into the iconic Petterino's and had a cosmo. The barman was a genius, mixing up a delicious shaker full of pink fabulousness just for me - and while I thought better than to tell him about my afternoon spent with the Blue Rinse Brigade, I sat alone to savour my cocktail as the old ladies around me enjoyed their dinner. At 5pm.
