interview with jennifer fugo + a giveaway!by caroline
It's not every day that I meet someone who closely shares in my vision and mission to help people discover the healthy lifestyle that works best for them. But when I met Jennifer Fugo (founder of Gluten Free School), I knew she was one of those people –– my healthy gluten-free soul sister so to speak! Like me, Jennifer believes in the idea that a healthy gluten-free lifestyle is not only attainable, but can indeed be beautiful and delicious.
Lucky for all of us, Jen is sharing the lessons she's learned during her personal journey to health –– as well as her years spent helping countless clients –– in her new book The Savvy Gluten-Free Shopper: How to Eat Healthy Without Breaking the Bank. Throughout the book, Jennifer shows her readers that they can not only lead a healthy gluten-free lifestyle, but a budget-friendly one. Packed with shopping tips, food preparation ideas, information about essential kitchen tools and delicious gluten-free recipes (creamy asparagus soup, spicy sweet potato wedges, quick apple crisp and plenty more), this book is a must-have on your gluten-free shelf. Read more about Jennifer below, PLUS enter to win your very own digital copy of the book!
→ When/why did you first embark on your gluten-free journey?
I was diagnosed in early 2008 after a nutritionist was suspicious that I may have gluten sensitivity. We did bloodwork to confirm antibodies to gluten, casein and eggs. It was both a happy and scary moment to get this news. Happy because I finally had an answer and the possibility of feeling better felt real. But it was also scary because I am from a traditional Italian family and I felt like I had to give up my entire diet.
But because I had been feeling sick for months with out an answer (all my bloodwork looked normal through my physician's office), I was willing to plow forward. Getting rid of the chronic headaches, low immunity, constant diarrhea, gas and bloating and incredible fatigue was life-changing!
→ What was life like prior to your diagnosis? Initially I assumed that I had stomach issues and that they were normal. I'd get really sick in the middle of meals and have to run several times to the bathroom. Sometimes I'd just try to "deal with it" and pretend I was fine, but that would only work for so long. I also had headaches all the time and popped Tylenol for over 10 years assuming that they too were normal. The real kicker was when I could no longer wake up after sleeping 9, 10 or even 11 hours and when I did, I felt like I'd been drugged. I was totally exhausted.
→ What changed for you once you cut gluten from your diet?
Everything! I literally look like a totally different person now from when I began my gluten-free diet. People who had not seen me in a year were shocked at how different I looked even only having been gluten-free for 4 months. The inflammation just melted away from my body which allowed me to finally sleep (and wake up) like a normal person again, lose nearly 20 lbs of inflammation weight, stop getting sick every 6 weeks and no longer get headaches.
→ Tell us about your new book, The Savvy Gluten-Free Shopper: How to Eat Healthy Without Breaking the Bank.
I was inspired to write the book because the most common complaint I hear from people is that the gluten-free diet is expensive which for some is a barrier for them to stay gluten-free. It further feels challenging to eat healthy because that too can also increase costs.
Back in 2009 (a year after I went gluten-free), I was diagnosed with Candida and Adrenal Fatigue so continuing to eat whatever I wanted (think a lot of gluten-free desserts and pasta), I had to change my diet to eat better quality, less refined, healthy foods. Suddenly my husband was laid off from his job and we lost two-thirds of our household income and eating organic gluten-free foods became nearly impossible. In order to continue eating well within my much smaller means, I got savvy about prices, shopping at the local grocery stores, food preparation and storage. I came to realize how much money I was literally throwing away in the trash in the form of unused and uneaten food.
I found shortcuts to getting food on the table quickly and how I could easily stock my kitchen so that a wrench in my weekly schedule that would keep me from cooking wouldn't mean I'd forego eating safe, gluten-free food. I began sharing these tricks and tips with clients and they were amazed by how "smart" and easy they were and I'd get feedback that they'd noticed a significant savings on their grocery bills despite eating real, healthy, home-cooked gluten-free food. In turn, they were less stressed about food and cooking and ultimately felt better overall.
To be able to share this information with more people, I decided to compile it in a book so that others, no matter their means, could shop, save and cook less while eating real food.
→ What has been the most impactful part of the journey for you?
The concept of tenacity. I had to be so completely committed to the journey of being gluten-free and improving my health that I couldn't allow something like money deter my progress. I was determined to find a way to do it and even though I'm not in the same boat now as we were before, I still use the strategies in the book because I really dislike wasting resources like money, food and time.
→ What's one misguided notion about a gluten-free lifestyle that you hear far too often? What's your rebuttal?
I've heard many people say that it's just too difficult to cook tasty gluten-free food and that their family members won't eat what they cook. Frankly, they're right. The traditional gluten-free food that's in many cookbooks and posted on blogs contain way too many weird and often expensive ingredients attempting to replicate old gluten-filled favorites. Often, those recipes fail to deceive a person whose palette is expecting something that's simply not there.
What I constantly tell clients is to focus on eating and cooking healthy foods that HAPPEN to be gluten-free. That way, the dish isn't missing what it didn't have in the first place. Your family will enjoy the tastes of what's in front of them rather than saying "This bread just isn't the same." I host dinner parties and have even catered non-gluten-free friends' birthday parties and no one ever notices that the gluten was missing from most or all of what's served. Instead, I'm asked for recipes and complimented on how delicious everything is with few leftovers to spare at the end.
The recipes in The Savvy Gluten-Free Shopper are based on simple clean ingredients that happen to be gluten-free and are easy to make. It is my intention to simplify the process of living gluten-free so that it's doable, wallet-friendly and delicious!
→ What's up next?
Building a bigger platform for gluten sensitive women to get the information and help they need to change their diets and lives. Advocacy is a huge part of my life right now and after talking to so many people who are struggling out there, women want to feel heard. Our needs are different than those who aren't sensitive to gluten and we need to resources and tools to address our own unique needs. Autoimmune problems are rampant for women and sadly can be either the final straw or what happens when the connections with gluten are ignored or brushed aside. I know what it's like to be the patient in the chair who's not being listened to. I know how it feels to be in these women's shoes, getting sicker without any reasonable answers as to why.
I'll soon be relaunching my Gluten-Free 101 course for women who want to become a gluten-free expert in their own life. It provides women with the tools and skills they need to make sure they stay safe from gluten (and all the places it hides), but also how to deal with the practical and emotional components that surface when making this transition. The women who've gone through it in the past have been amazed to learn that they were still getting glutened even though they'd been gluten-free for years!
There will definitely be more books in my future as well as hosting more podcasts (with awesome guests) that connect gluten-free women with topics most important to their health and well-being. I have many speaking opportunities all through the Eastern half of the US this year (http://www.glutenfreeschool.com/events) and even more in the works for next year sharing stages with some of the most recognized thought-leaders in the gluten-free community.
→ Famous last words.
Take care of yourself and make YOU a priority. It's one of the most brushed aside ideas, but when you're gluten sensitive or celiac, you've truly got to take care of you. As women, we often worry about everyone else, but part of the healing process comes from adding yourself onto the top of your daily priority list. Otherwise, it's easy to cheat or not stay the course or follow through with actions that will improve your life.

Marriage News Blog
In a four-part series, we look at the history of efforts in each state with a marriage ballot measure, current polling and how you can get involved.
Today, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, pledged to donate $2.5 million to help pass a marriage equality initiative in Washington State. Here's a run-down of efforts to secure the freedom to marry in the Evergreen State.
A Long Time Coming
Washington was one of the first states to encounter the marriage equality issue, although they certainly wouldn't have called it that back then.
In 1971, activists Paul Barwick and John Singer (who would later take the name Faygele ben Miriam) requested a marriage license from King County Auditor Lloyd Hara. Hara turned them down because he had to, although nowadays he's the King County Assessor and a steadfast supporter of the freedom to marry.
Skipping ahead 27 years, the Washington State Legislature passed a statutory marriage ban in 1998. In 2004, eight couples sued King County and 11 couples sued the state over the law. Their cases were consolidated, and in 2006, the Washington State Supreme Court upheld the law, 5-4 in Andersen v. King County.
LGBT families found an ally the following year in Governor Christine Gregoire, who signed a limited domestic partnership law in 2007. It was expanded in 2008, and again in 2009. That 2009 bill was forced to referendum, which became known as Ref. 71, and passed with 53% of the vote.
But domestic partnership is not marriage. In 2011, State Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown suggested in an interview that Washington "could be ready for full marriage equality." But State Senator Ed Murray said that the votes weren't in place yet. Later that year, LGBT organizers announced a campaign for a marriage equality bill in 2012.
Gregoire wasted no time, introducing the legislation in January of 2012. On February 1, 2012, the Senate passed a bill to legalize marriage by a 28-21 vote. It passed the house a few days later, 55-43, and Gregoire signed the bill on February 13.
But now the bill faces a referendum. If passed, marriage equality would come to the Evergreen State. On July 27, Amazon Founder Jeff Bezo and his wife MacKenzie pledged $2.5 million to help the initiative.
Current Polling
It's going to be close in Washington, with poll numbers wavering back and forth a bit. In September of 2011, 54% supported marriage equality. In October, support was at 55%. But a February 2012 survey showed support down to 50%, and then 51% in June. The latest June survey shows marriage equality leading by 51% to 42%.
What You Can Do
Washington United for Marriage is leading the effort to protect the new law.
- Pledge to approve Referendum 74 in November.
- Volunteer with the campaign.
- Fundraise for the campaign.
- Start a conversation with your friends and colleagues about why you support marriage equality.
- Share the campaign with your friends & family by liking us on Facebook or sending them to our website.

Fish location
Over recent years, carp fishing in the UK has really taken off in popularity. But the first question that always seems to be asked from a newcomer is. 'What bait did you catch that on Mister?' Or, 'What rig did you use?'
From experience, those questions should be the last pieces of the puzzle. The most important question should be, 'Where are the fish?' The amount of times I see anglers arrive in the car park and head straight to their favourite swim, without so much as a quick recce lap around the lake really surprises me. What makes you think the fish will still be in the same area they were the last time you caught from there?
Time spent walking, looking, climbing trees, checking margins and generally watching the water for any signs of fish, can be invaluable. Many recommend asking other anglers if they've had any luck or seen anything. But you'll get the odd angler that'll keep it quiet or try and throw you off the scent. So it's always best to turn up with an open mind, rather than have a pre-determined plan in your head. Take your time to find the fish, and don't just set up in the swim closest to the car park, because it's the shortest walk!
Several years ago, I was fishing a water for the first time. I managed a decent result on my first few hours fishing. I later found out the name of this area I was concentrating on was called 'no carp corner'. I wonder if I'd have fished there if I'd have known that previously. I had two takes in the space of a couple of hours and landed both of them. It just goes to show, you can spend days in the wrong spot and blank, or a much shorter period of time in the right spot and really see some results. If I could sum this up in one word, it'd be LOCATION.
Many factors can influence where the fish could be, wind direction, sunlight, wind temperature, air pressure, angling pressure, watersports activity, snags or cover, and weed beds, just to name a few. It's worth keeping an eye on what the wind has been doing leading up to your trip. Doing this will enable you to know if you're fishing with a new wind, or a stale wind. The latter can sometimes have the opposite effect, and the fish may well be on the back of the wind. If you've been keeping an eye on the weather, you'll be able to turn up and know whether to start your search on the end of the wind, or the back of it.
Remember, worry about rigs and bait last, first concentrate on finding the fish.
Keeping on a similar theme, next time I'll write about the importance of staying mobile, and keeping kit down to a minimum. A tactic used by a friend of mine, to devasting effect.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
The harder I work, the luckier I become.

Author: Blatt
[ 44 Pa. Commw. Page 3]
The Remmey Division of A.P. Green Refractories Company (employer) and John Makarewich (claimant) have cross-appealed from an order of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Board), which affirmed a referee's decision awarding compensation for total disability but denied attorney's fees and costs.
The claimant was employed as a press operator, but when no press work was available, he was routinely assigned to loading railroad cars with bricks and tiles. Between June 28 and 30, 1971, the claimant was loading railroad cars with heavy tiles, lifting them over his head without assistance. At some point during this operation, he felt a "snapping sensation" in his left shoulder. Subsequently, he was admitted to a hospital for the treatment of an apparently unrelated hernia and the removal of fluid that had built up in his left shoulder and arm. When he filed a claim for compensation under The Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act (Act),*fn1 it was premised on the theory of "unusual strain"*fn2 because the injury here had occurred prior to the 1972 amendments to the Act. A hearing was held, at which three physicians testified, two for the employer and one for the claimant. After the hearing was closed, however, the presiding referee was rendered unavailable. Another referee was therefore appointed,
[ 44 Pa. Commw. Page 4]
who, after reviewing the record, found that the task in which the claimant was engaged at the time of the injury did not involve any unusual stress, and also found no causal connection between the claimant's employment and his present disability which was described as "a conversion hysteria and an old destructive lesion to the left shoulder." The Board disagreed on appeal, ruling that the referee had capriciously disregarded the claimant's evidence as to the nature of his task and as to the causal connection between it and his disability. The case was therefore remanded to the second referee, who, after re-examining the record, indicated in his second decision that the claimant was subjected to an unusual stress and found:
As of July 1, 1971 the Claimant was unable to perform the duties of a press operator and laborer and such disability continued up to the present time and for indefinite time into the future. Further, that the incident described [above] either precipitated or aggravated the disabling pathology, namely the destructive lesion in the left shoulder area, which if pre-existing, had certainly not hitherto been disabling.
The referee thus made an award based on the existence of total disability and interest on accrued compensation was fixed at six percent per annum. He also found, however, that the employer had established a reasonable basis for the contest. The Board affirmed and both parties appealed.
The employer argues that the Board erred when it concluded that the referee, in his first opinion, had capriciously disregarded the evidence, that there was no finding in his second opinion upon which an award of total disability could be based, and ...

Alipay, the online payment division of e-commerce giant Alibaba, is today bringing the 'mobile wallet' to China's streets and stores, allowing transactions between shops and their customers, who need only the Alipayapp on their phones
Updates to the Alipay iPhone, Android and Nokia apps today will unleash the new mobile barcode payments feature. For end-users, all they need is an iPhone, Android or Nokia phone with the Alipay app installed. For retailers, they can accept the payments by scanning the barcode generated on their customer's phone in one of two ways: with the camera of their own smartphone (through their own Alipay account), or with the barcode scanning gun attached to their cash register.
Alibaba is emphasizing how retailers need no extra equipment to accept the new Alipay mobile payments, and that the two hardware options available will cover most of China's smaller retailers. At the moment, Alipay is aiming this at small shops, who need only to register (for free) to put the service into action. Alibaba's head of PR, speaking to Penn Olson, said:
We believe this will be able to better serve the millions of small businesses across China, and make it more convenient for consumers to purchase goods as well. [...] Theoretically, large retailers could also accept and implement this payment option, but given most large retailers already offer point-of-sale terminals for credit/debit cards, we expect usage to be greater among individual users and smaller-sized merchants who are currently under-served in this regard.
Shoppers can use funds contained just in their Alipay account, or on any debit or credit cards that they might have connected to it. The shopper will need to have internet access on their phone, by wifi, or 2G/GPRS or 3G.
Alipay and Alibaba have been in the news quite a lot these past two months, firstly with Alipay being controversially spun-off away from Yahoo hands to facilitate its getting a government-mandated online payments license (which also caused a split from PayPal), and then with the entire Taobao Group being divided into three parts so as to better focus on their B2C and C2C markets.

THE FOURTH R: Conflicts over Religion in America's Public Schools
DelFattore, professor of English and legal studies at the University of Delaware and author of What Johnny Shouldn't Read , makes a scholarly but accessible analysis of the history of the debate over religious speech in America's public schools. While her emphasis is on the evolution of legal precedent, she sets court decisions in the context of the political and social struggles prompting judicial or legislative intervention, even including an appendix identifying contemporary advocacy groups. In early America, she notes, the question wasn't "whether to promote religion but whose religion to promote." Protestants believed themselves so mainstream that their school prayers could be considered "nonsectarian," while Catholics opposed use of the King James Bible, the singing of Protestant hymns and the Protestant custom of prayer without commentary. School boards responded by generating what they considered generic prayers and allowing dissenters to abstain, but pressure mounted in the early 20th century to eliminate prayer altogether, since, some said, it represented state endorsement of religion. Finally, in a series of rulings in the 1960s, the Supreme Court banned school authorities from instituting prayers, regardless of their generality. Pro-prayer forces fought back every way they could—proposed constitutional amendments, state court challenges, silent prayer initiatives—but it is the right to free speech that has saved prayer so far, according to the author. Under the "equal access" doctrine, both secular and religious expression by students are equally protected. DelFattore walks readers through the ins-and-outs of this long, complex and unfinished battle with clarity, evenhandedness and even a touch of humor. (Mar.)

[Image from: eHow: How to Learn the Theory of Psychology (Eraxion istock photo#7549747)]
I love this course!!!!! It's fascinating. The only extra I'd ask for is an "Ask an Expert" drop box where students from all sections could ask questions and all the profs and the course writer would help with answers, links, suggestions, possibly even follow-up questions. I'm finding that a little knowledge of brain function can lead me to jump to big conclusions that are probably not well supported with facts. Nevertheless, I'm taking the advise of Eric Jensen in A Fresh Look at Brain-Based Education and am not letting fears about the limits of my knowledge stop me from making some guesses and working on new strategies to use with my students:
"Brain-based education suggests that we not wait 20 years until each of these correlations is proven beyond any possible doubt. Many theories might never be proven beyond reasonable doubt. It's possible that the sheer quantity of school, home, and genetic factors will render any generalizable principle impossible to prove as 100% accurate. As educators, we must live in the world of "likely" and "unlikely" as opposed to the world of 'certainty'."There are 2 Voicethreads (VT) required for this course and so I thought I'd do one for those of you who are not familiar with this resource. At the moment it's a work in progress because there will be additional links added to the various slides to connect you with help documents and other resources if you have problems (as I did).
As you'll see in the first slide, the technology threatened to let me down about half way through the process and as ever in this master's program, what initially threatened to be a 'ship-sinking storm' turned out inspire a series of important reflections about the emotional elements of learning. Later today these remarks will become the core of my first VT assignment for 501 -- due tonight!! (Question for my wished-for "expert": I wonder whether procrastination is a left- or a right-brained function?)
So here's my VT Starter Kit; I've left the comment function in this VT wide open if you have comments, observations, or reflections you'd like to add. Because of the limited page width in this blog, it's kind of hard to see. The caption on the cartoon says: "It's the latest innovation in office safety. When your computer crashes, an air bag is activated so you won't bang your head in frustration." Here is a link that will take you to the regular sized version of my presentation: http://voicethread.com/share/714870/. Enjoy!

LC-A Big Book Chapter 6: Production in Full Swing2 Share Tweet
Bustling activity was under way In the depths of the LOMO PLC factory. The LOMO LC-A main construction team, consisting of Mr. Kholomyansky, Mr. Belushkln, Mr. Agrest and Mr. Denlsov, checked and rechecked all the functions of the LOMO LC-A while the design team worked on the cover plate of the camera and Olga Tsvetkova prepared the production and assembling halls.
The St Petersburg based optical factory was founded in 1914 in preparation for World War I. By 1930 the company had produced its first photo camera, the FOTOKOR, and continued producing photo and cinema equipment. They focused on mass-producing cheap and easily constructable cameras. In the early 1990s the production of photo and cinema equipment stopped as the company's focus shifted to other fields of optical production. The only photo camera that stayed in production after 1994 was the LOMO LC-A. Other well known LOMO PLC cameras include the Lubitel and the Smena. up to the present day, LOMO PLC concentrates mainly on producing optical goods for industrial (lasers, microscopes, telescopes) and military purposes and is know worldwide for their excellent optical products in the fields of science, space and the military. www.lomo.ru

Everything had to run smoothly: production of the individual parts had to operate at full speed, the assemblers learned piecemeal the individual production steps of the assembly, and the optical and electronic functions had to be perfectly aligned. In order to ensure speedy production of the first ever fully automatic cameras in Russia, Olga came up with a clever idea. While Kholomyansky and his team constructed the camera, she had already ensured that plans for the creation of the Individual parts were sent up to the mass production department Thus, the moulds for more than 450 Individual parts of the LOMO LC-A were able to be designed In advance and also tile electronic components were able to be ordered and made ready.
The electronic components presented a particular problem. as was the case in the early 1980s in the Soviet Union. For example, no flexible circuit boards were obtainable and even the normal type of circuit boards (the green thing which the electronics sit on) were imported from Japan. The coating for the boards came from Sweden and many other small electronic components were also produced outside of St Petersburg. In total the circuit board was built from 26 different parts and each had to be perfectly assembled and aligned.
Not only with this first implementation of electronic parts had the production of the LOMO LC-A altered a great deal in comparison with previous methods of camera production. Mass production along the lines of Henry Ford was also introduced into the halls of LOMO PLC. This meant that each individual assembler only constructed one specific piece of the camera and then the "final assembler" built the whole camera from these pieces.
One of these final assemblers was a certain Igor, who today repairs cameras In the repair shop of the Lomographlc Embassy in St Petersburg (but more about that later). Whereas Igor had himself assembled complete "Leningrad' cameras In the 1950s from the Individual parts, he fitted together the LOMO LC-A from prefabricated assemblies. Difficult functions, such as the camera aperture or the lens were manufactured In separate departments with up to ten workers. Using this operation method, (on a good day) Igor screwed together up to 40 LOMO LC·A's. He also welcomed this new system because in addition to his strictly controlled salary he received a bonus for each camera manufactured which meant he could afford one or more extra holidays at the company owned Neva Sanatorium on the Black Sea Coast.

The Pyrenees conclude with some legendary Tour de France mountain passes, the Col d'Aspin (12km at 6.6 percent) and the Col du Tourmalet (17km at 7.5 percent), where riders will be greeted by the masses.
An early breakaway will need good legs to master both of the challenging climbs and hold out until the finish, as there are still some 50 kilometres to cover to Tarbes after the descent of the Tourmalet. Depending on what happens within the group of favourites, this stage could be more nervous than it appears on paper, especially since the riders will be able to rest in Limoges the next day.

ABU DHABI: United Arab Emirates Minister for Energy Suhail al-Mazroui said Monday that he expected OPEC and non-OPEC countries to extend global supply cuts at a closely-watched meeting at the end of the month.
Speaking at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition Conference (ADIPEC), al-Mazroui said: "My prediction is OPEC will continue to do what it takes to rebalance the market." He added that while he had not heard any OPEC members discussing the possibility of not extending the deal, the time and duration of an extension was still to be decided.
OPEC members are reportedly forming a consensus around extending by nine months their production cutting deal with other crude exporters. That would prolong the agreement among OPEC, Russia and other oil-producing nations to keep 1.8 million barrels a day off the market through the whole of next year.
The exporters reached the deal last December and have already extended the agreement once through March 2018.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Baltimore grand jury has indicted a man and woman from Anne Arundel County in a hit-and-run crash that killed two teenage girls.
The indictment charges Reuben Dunn, 28, of Severn, who surrendered to authorities on Tuesday, with two counts each of automobile manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in death and one count of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Kendra Myles, 26, who was arrested last week, is charged with accessory after the fact.
Police say Courtney Angeles, 16, and Emerald Smith, 17, were hit in June while crossing Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near Pigtown and died. The car was stopped a short time later and police say the officer detained the occupants after noticing damage to the car.

A. Once the Linux Integration Components for Hyper-V have been downloaded, you have to build and install them on the Linux installation. You can't just install from the Integration Components ISO because of all the differences in Linux distributions—the software has to be build for your particular Linux distribution.
First, you need to install the compilers (gcc and c++) and kernel source. This will vary by Linux distribution, but for SUSE you can use the Control Center and the Install Software option. Add kernel-source, gcc, and gcc-c++, as shown below.
Click to expand.
Click to expand.
Once the components are installed, you need to install and build the integration components. Insert the integration component ISO and run the commands below.
- mkdir /mnt/cdrom
- mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
- mkdir /opt/linux_ic_rtm
- cp /mnt/cdrom/* /opt/linux_ic_rtm -R
- /opt/linux_ic_rtm/setup.pl drivers
Click to expand.
The Integration Components are now installed. You may need to perform other actions depending on the Linux distribution—you should follow the directions in the PDF file on the Microsoft Linux Integration Components site. With SUSE, you need to update the /etc/fstab file to use the Integration Components disk format (/dev/hdax instead of the default /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Virtual_HD-partx, as shown below in the before and after.)
Click to expand.
Click to expand.
If, like me, you're not used to Linux, you use the "vi" command to edit a file, e.g.
vi /etc/fstab
Once in the file, to insert new characters press the Insert key. Once you've finished making changes, press the Escape key. Then type
to exit. This forces a save even if the file was read-only.
You also need to update the /boot/grub/menu.lst file with the new format for disk, as shown.
Click to expand.
You now reboot Linux, and the new Virtual Service Clients (VSCs) for storage and network will be used. You can check that the VSCs are running, as shown below
/sbin/lsmod | grep vsc
Click to expand.

Most sessions are typically one hour because that's usually as long as kids have in them to do the session. However, I will never rush the session and will take as long as needed to get the job done.
newborn sessions
Newborn sessions are best done within the first 2 weeks when babies are still very sleepy. After that, the baby is more awake and also has a higher chance of developing baby acne. For the session, please be sure to have a nice comfortable temperature for your home so your baby stays nice and warm (and remember to wear something you won't be too hot in!) since the majority of the session the baby will be wearing little to no clothes. And make sure your baby has a full belly prior to my arrival. These steps help to ensure a comfortable, happy and sleepy baby. I completely understand and expect to have to take breaks so you can feed, comfort or change the baby. Babies can be unpredictable and I'm more than happy to accommodate their needs! Most newborn session are 1.5-2.5 hours long.
$275 in Chicago, Evanston & Wilmette. Sessions that take place out of those areas are $300. This includes the time and talent of the photographer along with the time it takes to edit the photographs.
$325 in Chicago, Evanston and Wilmette. Sessions that take place out of those areas are $350. This includes the time and talent of the photographer along with the time it takes to edit the photographs.
$150 in Chicago, Evanston & Wilmette. Outside of those areas are $175-200 (depending on travel time/distance).
**For all kids, family & newborn sessions, you will be provided a link to a private gallery with 40 edited images. If you would like a CD or USB drive it's an additional $25.
**Headshot sessions will include a link to a private gallery with 10-15 images.

More money for renewable heating kit
Householders across Great Britain will be able to get even more cash for renewable heating kit, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced today.
The money off vouchers available under the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) scheme have been increased to £2,300 for ground source heat pumps, £2,000 for biomass boilers, £1,300 for air source heat pumps and £600 for solar thermal systems.
The RHPP scheme, first launched in July 2011, is designed to encourage householders to switch to renewable heat from traditional heating systems by offering money off the cost of the equipment. The scheme is targeted at those living off the gas grid, where most money on bills and carbon can be saved.
Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said: "Over 10,000 householders have already taken advantage of money off renewable heating kit and we want to see even more consumers stepping up to the plate and getting on board.
"But I want to go even further. I want to kick start this exciting new market for consumer renewable heat technologies.
"This time limited, big increase in the value of vouchers for hardworking people who want to do something positive to install money saving green heating in their homes, should be a real boost for this growing green sector."
The scheme was extended in March this year until the end of March 2014 ahead of the launch of a Renewable Heat Incentive for householders, with around £12 million up for grabs.
Alongside changes to the voucher values, householders will now be required to undertake a Green Deal assessment before submitting a claim to the Energy Saving Trust to redeem their voucher.
This will help householders think about how renewable heat could fit with energy efficiency improvements for their home and ensure they are advised on choosing the right technology for them.
The additional voucher values are intended to reflect the cost of a Green Deal assessment, as well as the cost of getting these technologies installed in homes. Householders can also use the Green Deal to pay for some of the cost through savings on their energy bill.
The increased voucher values and Green Deal assessment requirement will kick in for any applications submitted today onwards.
Good News for the Trades: Millions of Funding to Create New Jobs
"Hundreds of plumbers, electricians and gas engineers to benefit from the investment"
Millions of funding to get low carbon heating into peoples' homes, including into hundreds of social houses across the nation, is still up for grabs according to the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
Local authorities, housing associations and registered providers of social housing are being urged to benefit from the millions of pounds available from the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP).
The scheme will replace more renewable heating systems, including biomass boilers, solar hot water panels and heat pumps, creating new employment opportunities for plumbers, electricians and gas engineers.
The RHPP has reopened thanks to the high value for money of projects already allocated funding under the scheme which will make tenants' homes warmer, cosier and far more energy efficient.
Today, the DECC announced that up to £2.5 million of additional funding will be allocated under this element of the scheme.
Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said: "We have already awarded nearly £5 million to 72 projects under this year's scheme, helping householders stay warm this winter and move away from expensive old heating systems to new clean renewable ones.
"But the high value for money of the bids we have received to date means that there is still money up for grabs and I would urge social landlords across the nation to apply and take advantage of all this scheme has to offer."
The closing date for applications is 9 October 2012 and successful bidders will be announced shortly afterwards. You can find out more about the scheme and how to apply from here.

They wouldn't be wrong in that regard.But the health of Griffin doesn't explain how Seattle ground away what had been one of the league's better rushing defenses this year.Yes, Washington's inability to sustain possessions left its defense vulnerable, but the trend started in the second quarter when Washington's defense was still rested, and it degenerated from there. Just look at Lynch's yards per carry as proof of how much more effective Seattle got as the game wore on.

The area is mostly mountainous, with several swift rivers, of which the Miño is the most important. Fishing, cattle and hog raising, and food processing are the main industries. An important naval base is at Ferrol and a petroleum refinery is at A Coruña . The region's mineral resources, chiefly iron and tin, were known to the Romans but are now little exploited. Much of the region's electricity is produced by wind farms.
Galicia was (5th–6th cent. AD) the center of the kingdom of the German Suevi. It was liberated (8th–9th cent.) from the Moors by the king of Asturias . Its people's strong spirit of independence was shown in the Middle Ages by the frequent rebellions of the feudal lords against the crown and again in the 19th cent. by the popular resistance to Napoleon I. The shrine of Santiago de Compostela , a center of culture in medieval times, remains a great place of pilgrimage. In the 19th cent., Galicia was the scene of a remarkable cultural and literary revival.

Soon I'll be vomiting up a torrent of stuff from my recent trip to Venice Biennale, but the following drivel came to my attention via Rhizome's RSS feed. The aforementioned feed is usually awash with barely comprehensible bot-generated spam and very little actual content, but I'm going to assume a real person was behind this project despite the fact that some of the spam made more sense than the mailout.
You may wonder why I continue subscribing to it: the answer is that the spam is truly magnificent sometimes. The actual art work and human texts can generously be described as unfortunate and unnecessary, for the most part. Look upon the text of Katerina Karoussos, ye writers, and despair:
"NOETIC GRACE – FROM IMAGE TO IMAGO regards the process of 'virtual vision' such as St. John of Damascus yielded, back in the 7th century. It refers to a course of action that disregards the conventional way of viewing as it entertains the idea of intellectual vision which is beyond any sensory origin. The intellectual eye gazes without any supporting images to the image itself as an endoscopic procedure. In this context the noetic awareness faces all of what can be seen and unseen as epiphanies." (Katerina Karoussos)
Katerina Karoussos' exploration into our noetic awareness in the virtual as our Yoshikaze artist between 20 May and 5 August this year has led her to step-by-step inquiries into "imago" of the virtual. Her residency has been a unique journey, for which her objective from the start was rather to conduct an in-depth examination of virtual vision than to produce work of art. With the concept of image as an apparition of our mind, her voyage consisted of a series of experimentations to better apprehend our new state, each unfolding a subtle rupture of our auto-responses from the reminiscent unconsciously employed…"
"Between 5-9 September Yoshikaze will proudly present a new video by Katerina Karoussos at HUMlab, Umeå University, Sweden. This video puts together her observations in Second Life during her Yoshikaze residency as a singular work of art, and exposes the dimension of her philosophical concern by revealing her course of contemplation over our noesis on time, space, physical entities, natural phenomena, and body."
I'm having a "subtle rupture". First of all, HOLY SHIT DO PEOPLE STILL USE SECOND LIFE OR THINK IT'S AT ALL INTERESTING, OR A NEW FRONTIER FOR ART AND ARTISTS? Is Second Life even a thing that anybody does nowadays? I mean anyone who isn't a sad, nostalgic shut-in with adolescent body issues, or a disgusting letch looking to have a quick one off the wrist while having awkward live chat with low-poly, badly animated sex dolls.
Let's be clear: this woman is a PhD candidate and she's basing her whole artistic practice and research methodology on dicking around in Second Life. I like playing video games, but I don't think I should be awarded a PhD because of it even though I'm really good at them. Playing Grand Theft Auto or kicking some obnoxious American kid's arse in the online multiplayer of Call of Duty are not art works. The artist Joseph Delappe (among others) actually does carry out interesting, thoughtful and provocative interventions in these kinds of game spaces, so it's definitely possible. Other artists (and many enthusiasts who don't presume to call themselves artists) have done intellectually rigorous mods, appropriations, adaptations or subversions of video games and multi-user online spaces. But as for this one, if she's dedicated her life to being an idler and not actually doing any proper work then good on her because she's hit the jackpot. If not, she needs to get a First Life because her work and her rhetoric are weak.
Perhaps I should "disregard the conventional way of viewing"? How does one do that? Is it like in 'Beetlejuice' when Geena Davis pops her eyes out of their sockets and wears them on the ends of her fingers? Because that would be cool. How does one "face all of what can be seen and unseen"? Surely one would need an infinite number of sensory organs to do such a thing, not to mention the development of sensory and cognitive apparatus hitherto unknown to humans? How does one face "what can be unseen"? If I thought this was some kind of provocation to syllogistic reasoning, like a Zen koan or something, then I might give her some slack. Unfortunately no, sorry, this is just somebody talking absolute bollocks in an environment where she apparently never gets called out and criticised for it. Go to Umeå University in Sweden, everybody, if you want an easy PhD for what is dismissed as "wasting time online when you should be working" everywhere else.
After checking out her blog, at least it appears that her aim to not "produce work of art" has entirely succeeded so I suppose we should congratulate her on that. Or perhaps she'd prefer to meet up with us all in Second Life and engage in a perfunctory sex animation cycle with our bright blue, mega-breasted and jerky elf avatars like it's 1999 or something.

A food suspected of causing severe food poisoning
Botulism is an extremely rare disease in Finland, last diagnosed in 1999. Clostridium botulinum is a soil bacterium that grows particularly well in oxygen-free conditions. The botulinum neurotoxin produced by the bacterium is a powerful nerve poison. Botulinum neurotoxin has been found in vacuum packed fish and meat products as well as in vegetables.
The symptoms of botulism usually appear 12–36 hours after exposure. Symptoms include progressive weakness from head to limbs and paralysis symptoms that may include difficulty of swallowing and speech, weakness of eye movements and visual disturbances. Botulism does not manifest as fever. Patients that experience these symptoms should contact their local health care centre immediately.
The Food Safety Authority Evira has advised municipal food control authorities to urgently verify the implementation of the withdrawal in establishments where the product has been sold or served. Evira has further requested municipal control authorities to inspect the storage temperatures and times of fish products in establishments where the products are sold, served or manufactured.

Don't do it! Please, please think twice before you buy and use this and reflect on the damage it can do to you, the people around you and the environment. It is quite simple – SMOKING!
The reason I am saying this is that this weekend I am seeing my best friend slowly and painfully dying due to smoking. He can't turn the clock back and his addiction, that had been aided and abetted by money grabbing cigarette companies and government who are also money grabbing for the tax they generate. It is also a government who are laughing behind his back as he will not reach pension age and receive his hard earned pension which he has paid toward all his working life!
Don't do it! Think of all the people who benefit from smoking and this will certainly help you to curb the habit. Why do you let them get a way with it, they are killing you and stealing your hard earned cash, on the face of it they should be put behind bars!

How to Spot the Wrong Contractor Right Away
Peruse the internet for just a few minutes and you will find a lot of information about how to find a great contractor. There are even entire websites like Angie's List and Yelp completely devoted to helping homeowners call the right guys first. Great contractors make you feel at ease about your project right away; they offer solutions; they bring knowledge and skill to the table. But sometimes, we overlook how to quickly spot the wrong contractor! Entertaining (or worse – hiring) the wrong company can cost more than just time, it can be expensive.
I have listed a few things for you to think about as you start your hiring process, but remember that the most important indicator is your gut! Trust yourself, your judgment, and your research.
Tools – Is he renting the tools necessary for your project? A good contractor has the tools of his trade. While he may need to rent a specialty piece of equipment every once in awhile, most items should be kept on hand and in good repair. Beware the "floor guy" that needs to rent a drum sander or a nail gun. What would you do if your dentist told you his drill was a rental? The renting of a drum sander by a "professional" may not be as painful, but you can expect the same tears.
Trash Talk – What's he saying about his competition? Good contractors know that there are other good contractors bidding and doing work (in fact, we sometimes count on each other for help). Contractors that bad mouth the "other guys" with blanket statements or make you feel silly for getting more than one estimate probably have something to hide.
Time – Is he available to start today? Unless this miracle schedule opening is due to a last minute cancellation, be wary. Most skilled contractors keep their schedules filled at least 1 – 2 weeks in advance. That means the floors he is bidding for you today should not be expected to start for at least another few days. If the guy is ready to sand your floor now, there is usually a good reason he isn't booked up with work… And that reason is probably not because he is really good at what he does.
Low Ball Pricing – If you are getting three bids, you should expect the prices to vary. Many times, companies are using different product or different types of labor. But if you have someone that is hundreds or even thousands of dollars cheaper, you should be asking why. Why are the other companies asking $3 per square foot, but "Jimmy Floor Man" is willing to do the work at $1.75 per square foot? Lower overhead? Probably. Works for himself? Probably. Using the same products and materials? Probably NOT.
Technology – With the explosion of the internet in the last few decades, new technologies are out there for everyone to see. If you have seen something "new" your contractor should at the very least know who/where to ask about it. A good contractor will be aware of a lot of the technological advances in his industry (whether or not he is embracing them or not is a different story). A great contractor will not only know about the latest and greatest technologies, he will have advice and a professional opinion about them. Great contractors are well-read!
Insured – This is a big one. Does he have proof that he is bonded and insured? Many contractors won't carry this information around with them at an estimate. But, if you ask about insurance, lien waivers, or workman's comp – they should be prepared to get that paperwork to you. If you sense hesitation on this topic, I suggest you look for another contractor.
In my own 30 years experience in this industry, I have seen many things. I've seen terrible installations, dreadful sand-jobs, flawed finishes, and erroneous designs (plus everything in-between). Worse, though, than bad craftsmanship is seeing homeowners struggle to get back thousands of dollars from dishonest contractors doing sub-par work. Which is why hiring the right guy begins with the ability to spot the wrong guy, right away!
