Differential Diagnosis Molar pregnancy.
Final Diagnosis Non-invasive molar pregnancy.
Discussion Molar gestation has already been discussed completely in a previous case (click here to view this case in a new window). However, this case demonstrates certain features that are different from the one discussed earlier.

The gray scale ultrasound features reveal an enlarged uterus with the endometrial cavity filled with a complex cystic mass. Benson, et al reported that the majority of first trimester complete moles demonstrated a typical sonographic appearance of a complex and echogenic intrauterine mass containing many small cystic spaces {which correspond to the hydropic villi on gross pathology}. There have been few reports of a large, central fluid collection that mimics an anembryonic gestation or abortion. Occasionally, there is merely a central mass of variable echogenicity, presumably because the villi are too small to be seen with sonography at that time. Histopathological features provide the final answer in such cases.

Studies have shown color Doppler to be useful in the evaluation and follow up of gestational trophoblastic tumors. Angiogenesis is an integral part of any tumor development and color Doppler usually reveals increased vascularity in the mole, followed by a decrease with treatment. Low resistance blood vessels with low pulsatility and resistance indices have been noted in malignant and aggressive gestational trophoblastic tumors. These may also be useful in predicting the response to treatment in addition to diagnosis.

Non-invasive moles are seen to be avascular and contain many cystic spaces within, which correspond to the swollen chorionic villi. Invasive moles and choriocarcinomas however show increased intratumoral blood flow, and focal areas of increased flow in the myometrium as well, if there is local invasion. Presence of extrauterine gestational disease confirms the aggressive nature of the mole. In borderline cases, the final diagnosis of invasion versus non-invasion is confirmed only by histopathology and hence all the evacuated moles need to undergo a complete pathological workup.

The case demonstrated here shows areas of increased vascularity concerning for invasion, however it was pathologically confirmed to be a non-invasive complete mole. Follow up ultrasound and beta HCG titers were confirmed to be in the normal range.

You’ve come a long way, baby.

So last night, Quinn and I were sending each other random stuff, when he sent me something that caught my eye.   It was  a brown fastback thing with a widebody kit on it.

This thing:

Naturally, this intruiged me.  I did a bit of digging and found that the Mystere (not the horrid Mazda MX6), was built from a Holden Torana which spawned the Arcadipane Taipan bodykit.  It was also a one off car that was built for Recaro to showcase their products.

Here’s what the front looked like

It looks like there were several revisions of the Taipan kit, thought it’s possible that these were revisions made to the individual cars.

Here’s one with NACA ducts on the quarters:

Notice the different nose.  This is important.

They also made a version called The Bobcat, which I guess meant it had another NACA duct on each side.

Again, it’s got a slightly different nose on it from the last version.  It’s also starting to take an oddly familiar shape….

No NACA ducts this time, but that nose!  You’re probably looking at it right now, and thinking: Where have I seen that before?  Unless you’re an Australian, then you know where you’ve seen it.  For the rest of us, you’ve seen it right here:

That’s right.  As it turns out, Peter Arcadipane, who designed the Taipan kits also designed the front end they used on the Mad Max Interceptor as well.  It was marketed as the “Concorde” front end.  (He’s been using a lot of car names from the 90s to name these things.)

The Interceptor and the Taipan aren’t the only places you’ll find that nose either.  That nose also made its way onto a ‘van’ (I’m a little leery about calling it that) version of the Falcon as well.  Anyways, when I sent the photo over to Quinn, he described it as “wide body ute with a molded in cap! so much fucking win it hurts.”  You can judge for yourselves.

Hey, it’s got the same plate as the Mystere!

So you may be wondering: what wonderful and crazy designs has Mr Arcadipane been dreaming up now?  The last few cars I was aware of him having a hand in designing include this:

I guess he’s been a busy man.  Here’s to you, Mr Arcadipane.

  1. Phil and I saw a Mad Max copy driving around Hamilton near Eurodrive clutches. We were on our way to drop off cores, and there it was, RHD Flacon with the nose, scoop and everything!

    Awesome post Aaron

  2. OMFG that van is the coolest thing EVER!!!!
    Also, MadMax, my childhood was filler with aspirations of huge blowers and awsomely tough flat black mosters

Moroccan Chicken Pastilla

Pastilla (pronounced pas-tee-ya), also known as bastilla or basteeya, is a savoury-sweet Moroccan meat pie made by filling a phyllo pastry with a mixture of spiced braised poultry, eggs, and ground almonds. It is the national dish of the city of Fes in Morocco.

There are many variations on the layering and spicing of the filling.  My husband and I were taught an elaborate filling during a cooking class in Morocco in September 2013.  I have studied various other recipes but the one that is a blend of exotic and not-too-difficult is the one I have chosen to share with you below.  I have made this one for years and always with rave reviews.  More than the filling, pastilla is an impressive main course to bring to a dinner table of family and friends.  Hence, with a few variations on Moroccan Chicken Pastilla; I will explain the steps.  Furthermore,  when you have practised working with phyllo, it is not so overwhelming.

The ingredients, beside the chicken, for my filling are below: onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder,  cinnamon stick, Thai chili pepper, vegetable broth, lemon juice, lemon rind, chopped olives and chopped prunes.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Sounds like an odd combination but the combination of tart, spicy and sweet is just perfect.

My major shortcut is to buy a rotisserie BBQ chicken and remove all the meat from the bones, white and dark.  IMG_0235

And put aside one egg and coriander leaves for mixing into the final filling before the phyllo step.

Saute the onions for a few minutes and then add all the spices, cinnamon stick and chili pepper.  After a couple minutes of stirring, add the broth, lemon juice, olives, prunes.  Cook covered for about 10-15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed and then let cool before adding the beaten egg and chopped coriander.  IMG_0243Time to prepare the cinnamon-almond mixture to sprinkle between the top layers of phyllo.  The original recipes suggests grinding whole roasted almonds for the mixture of ground almonds, icing sugar and cinnamon.  I buy ground almonds and this has worked out just fine.IMG_0239

The trick with phyllo sheets is to keep them from drying out.  I always cover the sheets with a tea towel while I’m working with it and spritz the tea towel with water occasionally.  IMG_0244

Dab one sheet of phyllo with olive oil and place it into a spring-form pan.  It doesn’t matter if it tears a little — there will be 5 more sheets on top of this one.IMG_0245

Shift each additional sheet so that there is an even overhang all around.  Press down very gently in the middle to create the pocket for the filling.IMG_0246Put all the filling in the prepared phyllo pan.IMG_0248

Start folding in the overhang a few pieces at a time and sprinkle with the almond-cinnamon mixture each time.IMG_0250

Once all 5 sheets have been folded in, oil a 6th sheet and place on top and tuck in the edges..  Sprinkle more almond-cinnamon mixture.  Repeat with a 7th sheet.  On the oiled 8th sheet, tuck in the corners and bake for 20 minutes at 350° until golden brown.

When out of the oven, you can decorate the top anyway you’d like!  Below are five photos of chicken pastilla that we had in Morocco.  The large one in the left hand upper corner was from our cooking class.  The four surrounding it are personal size ones from each meal that my husband ordered.  He loved it so much, he ordered it as often as possible.

I served it with roasted cumin carrots and cauliflower.  A green salad is nice too.

Moroccan Pastilla

adapted from Christine Cushing, Basteeya – Morroccan Chicken Pie

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 small Thai chile or chile flakes, to taste
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp fresh chopped ginger
1 tsp grated lemon zest
All the meat, dark & white from one BBQ rotisserie chicken
2 pitted prunes, chopped
¼ cup spicy green olives, diced
½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
juice of ½ lemon
Coarse salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp chopped fresh coriander

⅓ cup olive oil
8 sheets phyllo

1 tbsp icing sugar
2 tbsp ground almonds
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Some toasted almond slices, if desired

  1. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat. Sauté the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile, cinnamon stick, curry powder, ginger, lemon zest and chicken and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the prunes, olives, stock, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.  Let cool completely.
  2. Meanwhile, mix icing sugar, cinnamon and ground almonds.
  3. On a work surface, arrange a sheet of phyllo. (Keep remaining phyllo under a damp tea towel.) Dab one sheet with oil. Lay in the middle of pan allowing excess phyllo to hang over the edge. Repeat with 4 more sheets of phyllo.
  4. Stir beaten egg and coriander into chicken mixture. Spoon chicken mixture into prepared  pan. Fold the phyllo pieces that are hanging over the edge of the pie dish, a few at a time into centre of the filling, sprinkling some of the almond mixture between each layer.
  5. Oil 1 piece of phyllo and sprinkle with some of the almond mixture. Place over the filling and tuck in around the edges. Repeat with another sheet of phyllo and almond mixture. Last sheet, tuck in but do not top with almond mixture.
  6. In a 350° preheated oven, bake for 20 minutes until top is browned and crisp. Let cool for 5 minutes before decorating top (if desired) and cutting into wedges for serving.

  1. Looks amazing and maybe one of these days I’ll get to come and taste. Keep those photos and directions coming.

    1. Thank Beryl,
      I’ll be happy to have you over as my sous chef to prepare it!

  2. Wow!! This looks delicious!

    1. thanks! and believe me, it tastes delicious too!

Champions League 2012/13 – Entry Points.

Which Round?

Both Scottish teams will enter at the 3rd qualifying round, and will have to win two ties to reach the Group Stage.

 1st in SPL – 3rd Qualifying Round for Champions
2nd in SPL – 3rd Qualifying Round for non-Champions

The winners of the SPL will have an easier route – they will only play the champions of other smaller nations.  In the 3rd Qualifying Round they could face the champions of countries ranging from Switzerland or Israel right down to Notherern Ireland and Wales.  Seeding would make one of the latter seem more likely.  In the Play-off Round, the most difficult opposition they could face would be the champions of Belgium or Romania, but again seeding might keep them apart from these sides.

The other entrant will face non-champions from larger countries and will find it very tough to qualify.  In the 3rd Qualifying Round they could face the 3rd placed team from Portugal or the runners-up from Russia, Ukraine or the Netherlands.  The most beatable opposition would probably be the Danish or Belgian runners-up, but seeding would most likely prevent them from facing any of these sides.  If they progressed to the play-off stage, they could meet the 4th placed sides from England, Spain or Germany.

If either team loses their 3rd Qualifying Round tie, they would be parachuted into the Europa League at the Play-off Round.  If either team loses their Champions Play-off Round tie, they would drop down into the Europa League Group Stage.  More information about the Europa League will follow in the next blog.

The 2012/13 Champions League starts on 3rd July 2012 – two days after the final of Euro 2012.  Scottish teams don’t quite enter that early, but will play their first matches before the start of the SPL season.

3rd qualifying round – 30th July/1st August & 7th/8th August

Play-off round – 21st/22nd August & 28th/29th August

Group stage – 18th/19th September, 2nd/3rd October,  23rd/24th October, 6th/7th November, 20th/21st November, 4th/5th December.

Good Thing the Points Don’t Carry Over…

My Grandma emailed me, and her first line read like this: “WHA HOPPUN?!” Good question, Gram.

My disclaimer before I begin is that I haven’t really seen much of the last two games because I had to work during the first halves, then I was disgusted when I tuned into the second and quit watching almost immediately. These analyses will be based solely on the numbers…

Great things about the first game: While the Blazers didn’t out-rebound the Suns, they turned the ball over less, outscored the Suns in the paint (44-38), out-shot the suns 1.01 to 0.96 in points per shot, and surprisingly won the fastbreak scoring battle 10-4. Amare was held to 18 points on just 42% shooting from the floor. The pace was at about the NBA average, 98 possessions.

In the last two games, there has been very little difference between the two teams in the turnover battle, very little difference in the rebounding battle (Phoenix was +9 in game two, but much of that was probably due to the fact that Portland shot 38% from the floor and Phoenix shot 52%), Amare has performed slightly below Amare (19 points, 5.5 boards on 54% shooting), and the pace has slowed down to Portland’s regular season pace almost exactly. No obvious edge to Phoenix anywhere here.

One key difference I see is that Phoenix blew up inside the key in game two, going off for 58 points in the paint leading to a 52.3% field goal percentage. Amare made just five field goals, so the damage came from Richardson and Hill, who combined to hit on 17 of 22 field goals inside the arc. I can only assume a good chunk of these field goals came inside the key.

Then, in game three, the Suns worked it back outside where we’re used to seeing them shoot, hitting on 13 of 28 three point attempts. Richardson, seemingly bored with going inside in game two, hit 8 threes by himself and Phoenix scored a ridiculous 1.24 points per shot. Good would 1.00 points per shot, and great would be 1.10. Ridiculous would be the Suns scoring attack Thursday night.

The Blazers, on the other hand, are struggling to find a steady offense. With Roy out, there are just not enough scoring options. In 19 shots Bayless has scored just 17 points, and Martell just 25 points on 28 shots. Despite Rudy’s 12 points on 9 shots being efficient, it’s just not enough to make up for Roy’s usual combination of both volume scoring and efficiency. As a team, after scoring 1.01 points per shot in the first game, Portland has stumbled to an unimpressive (or perhaps negatively impressive?) 0.88 points per shot.

So while Portland’s offense has struggled mightily against a Suns defense that ranks about 20th in the NBA in efficiency, the Suns have figured out just how to exploit Portland’s D, 8th best in the league during the final quarter of the season. That Suns strategy pretty much seems to revolve around attacking anyone and everyone but Camby. After recording 3 blocks and 17 rebounds in game one, Camby has combined for just 1 block and 20 boards in the last two games. In those same two games, J Rich and the rejuvenated Grant Hill are killing it, scoring 99 points between them on 1.72 points per shot. I haven’t even mentioned Nash, who continues to run the offense efficiently. It’s too bad Batum can’t guard all three of those guys…

Like I said in my last post, the Blazers need three more defensive games like the first to win this series. But obviously, they’ll need to adjust something. The zone is conventionally a bad idea against a good shooting team. That being said, an active matchup zone that could get the long-armed Batum and Webster out to shooters while keeping Camby near the painted area where’s he’s most valuable could give the Blazers their best chance to win. A little praying that the Suns shoot worse from three point land wouldn’t hurt (44% in the last two games).

Saturday. 1:30 pm.

One Response to Good Thing the Points Don’t Carry Over…

  1. uoduckfan33 says:

    A friend of mine chimes in:
    “I’m not sure we should switch out of the man D. If Nash/Amare p&r isn’t beating you, you shouldn’t change defenses, you should just play better. The inadequate help D (helpers either accomplishing nothing or fouling) seems to be the main culprit, as we help in only to leave a 3 pt shooter wide open. That’s just dumb. Make Steve Nash beat you with his floaters and what not. Is he great at those? Yes. But if you turn Nash into a primary scorer instead of distributor, you’re going to have a good shot of winning, especially with the way Amare has been less than stellar from the field.

    Stop the fast breaks by playing good offense. Score by attacking the middle of the zone early in the shot clock. Make some free throws. Grow healthy limbs. That’s all they need to do. 3/4 of those are doable.

    Prediction: refs turn the tide in the 1st quarter of game 4, Blazers jump out to a quick start with some cheap fouls on the Suns and the offense starts to click. Game 4 W. NBA, where predictable happens. Go Blazers.”

That’s Me Trying

18 Oct

I do not have time to make a blog post today. Emails are still coming in with opinions about the other sampler so it’ll be several days before i post the final verdict. I have a lot to say about my thoughts about Priscilla but today is my first day back in the studio in over a week and i have a deadline on The Silver Key project (which would be tomorrow) so like i said… ain’t got no time for nothing.

So, today we are going to post the most random thing EVER. What does it have to do with anything? Nothing. It is so random, 10,000 monkeys typing for 10,000 years would STILL never come up with this. But my buddy Matthew of The Matthew Show posted this on his Daily Song Study and i’m like… in love with this. I’m utterly in love with this song. By William effin’ SHATner no less. I know, right?

But seriously, this is kind of awesome.

Iceland – moving inland

10 Jun

The people give a sense of scale to the caldera

A caldera looks like it might be the crater of a volcano but it’s actually caused by land collapsing after a volcanic eruption. Wikipedia has a good description but Kerio is pretty impressive!

I took a few photos here, including ones of the information boards. The boards are really impressive and present at most of the sites of interest – they were all in Icelandic and English with other languages added occasionally.

We didn’t spend long here because we had a lot more to see and the next stop was at the visitor centre for Þingvellir (the “Þ” is pronounced “th”) This is important because it’s the site of the original Icelandic parliament but it’s geologically important because it effectively straddles the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. You can pretend to stand with feet on either side of the gap which makes it well worth a visit 🙂

The visitor centre is interesting and has good toilets (actually, all the public toilets in Iceland are good – there just aren’t very many of them!) but it also gives an excellent overview of the area. You used to be able to walk from the centre down into the valley but recently a crack has opened up which means that the path has been closed. There’s some rope lava here which you can see  in my photos (rope lava is also known by the Hawaiian name of pahoehoe) and a good model showing the area.

Waterfall at Þingvellir We got back on the coach to go a bit a further along the road and then had a pretty easy walk down into the valley. The weather had really improved and it was actually a really gorgeous day – not at all what you expect in Iceland (2 weeks before we went the temperature was about -10C!)

One of the Icelandic words you see often is “foss” – it means waterfall and you’ll see it often because there are lots of them – the one at Þingvellir isn’t the biggest but it’s quite impressive.

There are more information boards in the area where the parliament met including information about the punishments meted out for various crimes. Given the amount of water I suppose it’s not surprising that drowning was used as a form of execution although apparently only women were drowned. Men were beheaded, hung or burned at the stake.

The sunshine meant that our picnic lunch (provided by the Hotel Dyrholaey and pretty good) was in the sunshine next to the river. The river is absolutely crystal clear (which tells you that it’s not glacier melt – water from a glacier is always cloudy because of the rock flour it carries) but it’s spoiled by people throwing coins into it in spite of the pictogram signs everywhere saying “don’t throw coins”

After lunch we made our way to Geysir. The Great Geysir rarely erupts now but Strokkur goes off about every 10 minutes and is really good to watch (not quite sure why I bothered to upload my video clip – there are far more, far better ones on YouTube already!)

Gulfoss with a touch of rainbow!

The next stop was Gulfoss – one of the biggest waterfalls and very spectacular.

The information board says that the average water flow is 109 m3/s but peaks at 2000; 1m3 of water weighs 1 tonne so that means that there can be 2 000 tonnes of water going over the fall very second! You start to realise just how destructive water can be with figures like that.

It was hard to get good photographs but I’ve put a few here and also uploaded a video (but, again, there are many more available!) I think the video gives an idea of how sunny it was but I should have included people to give an idea of the sheer size of the waterfall.

TV Tuners in Linux

10 Jun

I have an elderly PC running MythTV which has worked well for sometime but the USB TV Tuner I was using failed. Not a major problem; they’re cheap to replace. Unfortunately, the software support is not too good – few manufacturers provide Linux drivers and firmware. I bought my tuner from Maplin (and I’ve just found that it’s now £10 cheaper than when I bought it!) – it’s a KWorld UB499-2T.

A new install of Ubuntu 12.04 almost works (but, as my old German teacher used to say, “If you’re nearly right, you’re wrong” so “almost works” really means “doesn’t work”) so I decided to find out how to make it work. This was not as easy as I hoped so I’ve made some notes which will help me next time I reinstall and might perhaps help someone else!

There are lots of articles on the web which refer to the script “get_dvb_firmware” and just seem to assume it will be present. It’s not present on a default install of Ubuntu but it gets installed if you add the linux-doc package (at least, /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/dvb/get_dvb_firmware.gz gets installed; copy that somewhere safe, unzip it and make it executable) Run the code to get the firmware and then unload/reload the driver

cd ~
cp /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/dvb/get_dvb_firmware.gz .
gunzip get_dvb_firmware.gz
chmod +x get_dvb_firmware
#get the firmware
./get_dvb_firmware it9135
#copy it to the right location
sudo cp dvb-usb-it9137-01.fw /lib/firmware
#Now unload and reload the driver (you could just reboot but Linux never needs rebooting ...)
sudo rmmod dvb_usb_it913x
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-it913x.ko

If you now run dmesg you should see that the tuner is found, firmware is loaded and the tuner is ready.

The Kaffeine media player is really good for checking that the tuner is working – stop the Mythbackend service because otherwise it grabs the device.

Iceland – Day 2

30 May

After breakfast we set off in our bus (Lady Scania!) for Solheimajokull – a very large glacier.

The first think you notice is that it’s grey because it’s covered in ash but as you get closer you can see the clean ice and it’s a pretty amazing sight.  The picture hopefully gives an idea of the scale – it’s massive – and some of the pictures here give an idea of the amount of ice in the glacier. It was strangely beautiful but the most interesting thing is the speed at which it’s melting – our guide was last here less than 2 months ago and it’s retreated since then,

We then drove along the main road to Vik -a small town on the coast. You can see a few photos of the town here. The lupins in the picture are not native to Iceland; they were imported from Canada and were planted in a bid to stabilise the sand/ash. Unfortunately, they’ve been much more successful than was expected and are taking over! Apparently, they are being pulled up in parts of the island because they’ve simply become too dominant.

After a lovely coffee break we went down on to the beach. The pictures may not be too clear but the thing which is spectacular about all the beaches here is that the sand is black – all the rock is volcanic so when it gets broken down to sand (it’s actually more like fine grit) it’s also black. It looks pretty spectacular when it’s wet.

Walking up the hillVik is a small town but it does have  a store selling Icelandic woolen products (and many more souvenirs). Their website only lists a fraction of what they sell; I bought a superb hat for about a tenner ( I thought I’d need a hat and I’d managed to leave my own hat at home. As it happened, this day was the only cool day in the whole week so I didn’t really need a hat. It’s such a good hat that I’m sure it will be useful later!)

We had lunch at Hjörleifshöfði (I think; my Icelandic spelling is not too good! I decided not to go up the hill and just wandered around near the beach. Even down at that level the scenery is amazing.

Basalt Columns Reynisfjara was our next stop – this has the most spectacular basalt columns which you can hopefully make out in the photos. Unfortunately, the weather was getting greyer so the light wasn’t too good but it’s still fantastic to see the scenery.

The final stop was Dyrholaey – “Door hole” in Icelandic. It’s a natural rock arch but sadly I failed to get a decent photo of it!

Iceland – day 1

29 May

We flew with Icelandair from Heathrow to Keflavik; the flight left an hour late but we made good time and arrived just 30 minutes late. We were met at the airport by our Trex coach and driver. I can’t spell his name but it’s pronounced “Yoey” (rhymes with Joey) who has turned out to be an amazing asset – a good driver, with a huge knowledge of the country, a good command of English and a willingness to get stuck in with every aspect of our holiday!

The Blue Lagoon

Steamy waters

From the airport we made our way to The Blue Lagoon This is a huge outdoor pool with geothermally heated water and it’s blue because the silica (basically very fine sand in the water) refracts the light and makes it blue. It’s a fabulous place; the water is mineral rich which means that even if you can’t swim, you can just float around in the pool and even at it’s deepest it only comes up to chest height so you can easily walk around. There are also saunas and steam rooms if you want a little more warmth.

Iceland can be a cold place (the clue is in the name!) so a good tip is to not go out through the main door from the changing room. Instead, get in the small pool by the door and then go through the door at the far side of the pool; this way you stay in the warm water and the cold air is not quite such a shock!

My photos of the Blue Lagoon are here

From there we made our way to Hotel Dyrholaey just outside Vik. We arrived quite late in the evening but sunset in Iceland at the end of May is after 2300 so at least the drive was in daylight. The hotel proved to be lovely – the staff were charming and very helpful and the accomodation perfect for our needs.

Linux shell scripting

11 Jan

I am spending more of my time working with Linux so I’m learning some of the things you can do with it

We have a couple of NAS boxes which need to be backed up in a kind of Time Machine fashion. This is relatively easy to do with rsync (which I believe is what Apple’s Time Machine uses). I found this web site which helped me get started and this is what I ended up with. You just have to run this from cron and you get new backups each day which appear to contain the full contents of the source machine but actually only contain new files and a set of symlinks to files which are in a previous backup.

#log start time
date > /tmp/timemachine.log

#folder will be called yyyy-mm-dd
date=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`

#backup - link it to the most recent folder
#copy from nas02
#and to a dated folder on nas01
#redirect all output to a log file
rsync -a --link-dest=/destination/current sourcemachine.fqdn.tld::source_share /destination/$date >> /tmp/timemachine.log

#remove the "current" symlink (it's not current any longer)
rm -f /destination/current

#and make a symlink to the backup we just made
ln -s /destination/$date /destination/current

#all done so log end time
date >> /tmp/timemachine.log

#and send an email
echo "Backup complete; log attached" | mutt -s "Backup complete for NAS" -a /tmp/timemachine.log -- myemail@email.tld

Linux shell scripting – 2

11 Jan

My previous post was about using rsync to mimic Apple’s Time Machine; I actually set that up some time ago but just didn’t get round to writing about it.

It’s now been running successfully for over a month and I wanted to find out how much space does it save when you just create hard links to files rather than backing them up. You can’t just use the du command because it counts the files as if they were actually there but find is a command which can help.

If you type:

find . -links 1 -type f

Then you will get a list of files in the current directory which have just one link to them (ie they’re not linked from any other directory so they are “today’s” backup)

that list is very nice but tells me nothing about size. find can take a -exec option which then runs a command for each file

find . -links 1 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

lists the files in long format so you can see their size but I don’t really want to try and add up all those sizes!

awk will allow me to do some processing on these results:

find . -links 1 -type f -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{print $5}'

Here, we’re piping the output of the ls command into awk and getting it to print the fifth column (the size)

Still not ideal; I really want it to add up those numbers for me!

find . -links 1 -type f -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ print $5 }' | awk '{total = total +$1}END{print total}'

This takes the long list of numbers and pipes it to another awk command which just adds each number to a variable called “total”. Once it’s finished, it prints that variable.

So, if you run that final command at the top of a directory tree containing new files and hard links to previous files you’ll ge a number – that’s the space taken up by files actually in that directory. Run a du-s for the same directory and you’ll get the total space Linux thinks is in use (ie including all the files that are really just hard links). The difference between the 2 is the space saved by doing this backup.

25 Sep

This weekend saw the Real Food Festival on London’s Southbank – – some good and varied food there and plenty of old favourites. I had a rather nice mackerel bap; perhaps an odd way to eat fried fish but it tasted good. I should have remembered the name of the stall but it linked to whichi is trying to get people eating some of the less common fish. Fried mackerel is really good and there’s no reason you shouldn’t have fried mackerel instead of fried cod and there’s lots of mackerel out there.

I also tried whitebait; I’ve never tried them before because I don’t really like fish bones and as you eat them whole I always assumed they’d be bony. Now I know they’re not! I’d guess they’re just so small that there’s not much bone there.

We wandered quite a way down the river and by Tower Bridge we found a mountain biker stunt team. The 2 riders were pretty amazing; I can’t even balance on a bike but they not only balance on the bike, they do it while the bike’s on a steel rod and much more besides. Some photos –

I’ve been cooking soups this week – it’s great fun to just take a load of different veg and make soup. There are plenty of recipes on the web but I’ve decided that just experimenting can work pretty well. For example, I was going to make carrot and coriander soup but didn’t have any coriander. I do, howver, have Rosemary growing on the balcony so that went in instead. Rosemary goes pretty well with carrots so that’s a soup I’ll make again.

Still experimenting, I thought I’d make a meatloaf this evening. I’d guess they’re normally made from beef (at least, I think I’ve mostly used beef before) but I didn’t have any. I did have 500g of chicken breast in the fridge so I used that instead. A couple of onions, some garlic, the chicken and a tin of chick peas all went in the food processor. The resulting mush then went in a loaf tin with a layer of halved cherry tomatoes in the bottom to make it look good when it came out.

The experiment kind of worked; the meat loaf tastes good but it doesn’t look that brilliant. The tomatoes are home grown and taste brilliant but they’re yellow and that doesn’t look very interesting next to the white chicken. The other small problem was that I mushed it up too much in the food processor; I think it would have been better to have a much coarser texture. Still I can always eat it in the dark – it’s not yet October but it’s pitch dark by dinner time!

Summer Weizen

Smuttynose’s summer seasonal is a solid wheat ale, on par with what you expect from Smutty.  Technically this is an American pale wheat ale, and while not as outstanding as others that fit the style, it does offer something a little different.  To me, Summer Weizen is in between a wheat ale and a hefeweizen, and it works just fine. In the beginning Summer Weizen tastes more like a traditional wheat ale, with a subtle sweetness that isn’t bitter.  As the sip progresses, hefeweizen qualities emerge with more fruity flavors and a hint of banana.  All the while a wheat backbone links the two together, making the transition nice and seamless, and the finish smooth and uplifting.  This beer is very simple, yet it works.  The flavors aren’t robust, which makes it refreshing and easy to drink, which works hand-in-hand with it’s lightness.  Overall, this is a nice summer beer.  It’s never too heavy or bitter and is refreshing, ending each sip with calm hefeweizen qualities.  If you’re looking for a full-blown hefeweizen, though, this isn’t for you.

Overall                 7/10
Color                    3
Thickness            4
Hops/Malt          7
ABV                       5.5%

Blackbeary Wheat

My old roommate used to bring Long Trail’s Blackbeary Wheat back to Syracuse after going home to Vermont for breaks.  It was always something to look forward to and was a nice beer to help change the season from dreary and cold to sunny and warm.  I really liked it, but it did have a novelty to it because we could only get it after breaks.  I was anxious to give it a go many years removed from the original tasting, so I picked up a six-pack last weekend.  While not outstanding nor terrible, Blackbeary Wheat is a very respectable fruit beer.

Upon pouring into a glass, you first notice two things: the aroma and color.  The first thing that strikes you is the bouquet.  It’s not overwhelmingly sweet as to turn you off, but enough to make you thirsty.  Dark berry notes are less intense than lighter ones, and thus more inviting.  The second thing is the extremely light, completely clear color, which is as light as an American light beer (the head is also reminiscent).  Above the curiously light color, though, the aroma is what grabs you most.  Upon drinking, you’re met with a remarkably light mouthfeel that feels like you’re drinking a light beer.  The weight, or lack thereof, is consistent through the finish and crisp the whole way. The blackberry flavor meets you immediately and offers a different type of fruit not commonly found in fruit beers. It’s very nice and has a subdued sweetness compared to other berry mixtures that are more common.  The fruit sweetness starts lighter and builds slightly as the sip progresses, reaching it’s peak at the finish, although it’s not too high of a summit.  The end of the sip has just a bit more sweetness than the rest of the sip, and the fruit flavor finishes off nicely without much aftertaste.

While not an outstanding beer, Blackbeary Wheat is one of my top choices for fruit beers.  One reason I prefer Blackbeary Wheat to others is that it’s a beer first and the fruit comes second.  Far too often fruit beers hit you too hard with sweetness, leaving you with a beer that tastes like it’s half juice-half beer.  In this case, the beer is a vehicle for the fruit, not the reverse.  Another quality this beer boasts is the sweetness doesn’t accumulate to the point that it makes you full. Because it’s so light and the sweetness isn’t overpowering, you’re not left with a strong aftertaste that will turn you off to having another.  It’s also very refreshing, and with 4.0% ABV, is very sessionable (although I dislike the term).  Compared with other American fruit styles, Blackbeary Wheat more closely resembles a lambic, the Belgian farmhouse style.  Despite it’s attributes, for a wheat beer it’s not very wheat-like.  There’s no cloudiness or creaminess to it, and a little extra from the wheat would fill this beer out nicely.

If you really like fruit beers, or are still searching for the right one, you’ll like Blackbeary Wheat.

Overall                 7/10
Color                    2
Thickness            3
Hops/Malt          5
ABV                       4.0%

Pomegranate Wheat

When I first saw this several years ago I was intrigued because pomegranate is not a flavor typically found in beer.  It sounded good because pomegranates are good, but how would it blend with wheat?  Of course I bought it, and with that I found one of the best fruit beers I’ve ever had.  But it’s not just the fruit component that sets this summer specialty apart, but the wheat.  I often talk about how, if not done well, wheat beers can taste terrible.  The wheat flavor can be bitter, bready, stale and leave a lingering aftertaste.  Pomegranate Wheat is nothing like that, instead using wheat how wheat should be: creamy, slightly sweet and refreshing. It’s almost like a good hefeweizen, with a creamy and subtle flavor that, in this case, is a great base and complement for the pomegranate.  Very cloudy in appearance, this beer tastes like it looks, which is refreshing and soothing.  The pomegranate juice hits you from the start and continues smoothly through the finish.  Even though the wheat flavor wasn’t weighty to begin with, the pomegranate lifts the body and flavor more.  It’s rarely too sweet and never hits you with a over-sugared flavor, instead blending very well with the sweetness from the wheat and jumping out from there.  At different times of each sip the fruit juice hits you in different increments, and at some times it’s almost unnoticeable, although you know it’s there.

Even though I really like this beer, it was tough deciding on a final rating.  This beer shows how well wheat and fruit ales can be, and makes you wonder why some summer ales fall so short of what they could be.  Many times you buy a summer ale that promises to be smooth, fruity and a have a wheaty creaminess, but it doesn’t live up to expectations, and you wish it had the qualities of Pomegranate Wheat.  The fruit was never too strong and was in great balance with the wheat.  But in the end, it wasn’t mind-blowing.  At times you get a front end that is full of fruit, almost too much, and sometimes you don’t get enough. Sometimes it seems watery and other times has just the right creaminess.  The inconsistencies can be frustrating.  In the end, though, this is a very good beer and a great example of what a good summer beer should be.  Just enough fruit to get you by and everything in pretty good balance, if I had to choose a fruit beer to drink, this would be it.

Overall                 8/10
Color                    4, very cloudy
Thickness            3
Hops/Malt          6
ABV                       4.7%

Flying down to Rio

A team of 15 Centennial College sports journalism students and five faculty and staff members travelled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for a unique cultural and sporting experience - to tell the story of Canadians competing in the 2016 Paralympic Games.

  1. The team left Toronto Sept. 3, rested and ready to take on Rio de Janeiro and the Paralympics. Centennial president, and eager tweeter, Ann Buller, joined the excursion.
  2. A day later, it was all aboard the media bus from the hotel in Rio for the first official order of business - collect the media credentials.
  3. After more than two weeks, dozens of stories, photos and videos, and more than 1,000 tweets, the team returned to Toronto. The students did stellar work recording the athletic achievements of Canada's Paralympians. Here's a brief record of how they did it.
  4. Preparation was key - in the media centre and the hotel lobby.
  5. The opening ceremony was a big deal - and it was work.
  6. The ceremony, in fact, the entire trip, could be a pretty good draw for future students.
  7. A day later, the events began with Centennial students on the job at the pool ...
  8. ... the track ...
  9. ... and in the media centres.
  10. The work went on at the Story Arts Centre in Toronto, too.
  11. At home and away, it was always about the story.

fearing lack

I was at a Christian retreat recently, and the theme that we studied for the weekend was of service – how to love your neighbour. We spent the weekend studying two passages: the parable of the Good Samaritan and the parable of the sheep and the goats.

In light of these passages, we were talking about what can motivate us to serve and what can motivate us to love others – identifying with someone, understanding that they are children of God, etc. But I realized through these discussions that service is not only about helping others without expecting anything in return – but also about doing it in spite of and with sacrifice.

Let’s face it. It is very, very difficult to sacrifice something of yours to another and not expect anything return. Jesus did it, and we try to do it, but we are human and we are flawed and so we fail. I realized one of the reasons that many people (including me) find it hard to truly and genuinely be a servant is because we have a fear of lack. We fear that our needs won’t be met, that we’ll run out of what we have – just like the Israelites tried to store up their manna because they were scared of being hungry. Because of this fear, which can have many roots – comparison, envy, unfaithfulness, etc. – we just want more and more and more.

But in reality, it is incredibly difficult to serve when 1) you want more, and 2) you are not willing to have less. I know I am willing to serve when there is no great cost or when I expect something in return, but when the cost is time, money, my sense of security, I just can’t bring myself to do so. I see this on a small scale – when I am hesitant to buy some food for a homeless man God has called me to talk to – and on a bigger one – when I am reluctant to serve God in a way if it means I won’t make as much money or have more financial security.

My prayer for today is to remember verses like Psalm 34:9 (“Fear the LORD, you His holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing”) and Philippians 4:19 (“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus”). I want to fear God, to be secure in the security and safety He promises, and to stop fearing lack – so that I am less afraid to sacrifice just as my God sacrificed for me.

Another One Bites the Dust—Barnes & Noble

The Barnes & Noble at the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue, WA, where I spent many an hour, closed on December 31.

What hit me was I could still see the desks inside, where I often spent time writing fiction.

It reminds me of my previous post, which showed how a Borders bookstore became a Forever 21 store. What will happen to this closed store?

Olympic Round Up: Day 6

Three golds, three silvers.
What a superb day for Team GB!
 ~ Men's team sprint, gold; I love Sir Chris Hoy! ~
~ A new World Record ~
~ We couldn't get tickets ~
 ~ Peter Wilson, double trap shooting, gold ~
~ we couldn't get tickets ~
~ Men's C2 Slalom Double; gold and silver ~
 ~ Gemma Gibbons; Judo, 78kg class; silver ~
~ Men's lightweight fours; silver ~
We've tried again for tickets, only to be thwarted at the final post.  Tickets are advertised at reasonable prices, but when you get to the end of the buying process there are only tickets available for £990 (in the case of the Closing ceremony).
Most frustrating.
But we are loving our Games, the BBC's coverage is mostly superb and the atmosphere in town is amazing.

What Caught Her Eye #6

Continuing my new series for Fridays:

A River & a Temple

Guwahati crow

Guwahati crow

There is nothing here”, said my host, of Guwahati, while conceding it was the entry & exit point to most of the North East.

I was surprised.

The thought of not having seen the Brahmaputra had niggled a long time & set the adrenaline flowing. The entire NE trip had in fact been planned around it.

The mighty river & Kamakhya the ancient temple atop Nilachal hill. Two birds with one stone as I flitted across states by road, rail & air.

Guwahati is a B grade town, no doubt.

We drove through empty streets for the VIP ‘darshan’ scheduled for 08.30 am when the temple opens to the general public. The queues get inordinately long thereafter.

It was a distance of 30 kms from Narangi  & took 45 mins by car.

Kamakhya Devi is 800’ above sea level & offers a stunning view of the town below. It is in fact a collection of temples dedicated to goddesses of the Hindu pantheon who are important to the tantric worshipper. The garbhgriha or sanctum sanctorum is ancient & prehistoric & lies in a cave below ground level. There is no image. It is simply a sheet of stone in the shape of a yoni washed by the fresh waters of a natural underground spring.

The structure above has frescoes & figurines reminiscent of Khajuraho. It is all about Shakti. Worshippers can be seen leading goats to the altar – not as a sacrifice anymore. The temple dates back early 4th century & has solid silver artifacts & doors. It was destroyed several times during foreign invasions & later reconstructed by an Ahom king in the 16th century.

Saraighat Bridge

Saraighat Bridge

On to the Brahmaputra.

It is breath taking in its sweep. It is awesome!

Stretching 2900 kms via Tibet, India & Bangladesh

Home to the endangered Gangetic Dolphin

Its monsoon waters muddy & brown.

The currents fast & furious

There are river cruises from Machkhowa Ghat, Fancy bazaar operated by ‘Al Fresco’. A sunset cruise at 1700hrs followed by the dinner cruise at 1930. At Rs 250 per person one gets to sail for an hour. The cruise ship has a restaurant & bar & crooners sing to a live band. There are weekend parties on board & extended tours further north to Kaziranga wild life sanctuary & Majuli, a large river island & world heritage site.

Nearby at Uzan Bazaar state owned motorboats give a ride for as little as Rs 10. Taking you to a small mid River Island that has a Shiv mandir & view of the swirling waters around busy Saraighat Bridge in the distance.P1020610

Restaurant Yap Chong (叶昭茶室) @ Pudu Ulu, Cheras

It has been awhile since I last set foot in this area for dinner. Ask any Hakka food lover and they’ll surely recommend Pudu ulu. Today I wanted to check out Yap Chong as I’ve tasted the other few along the road which serve pretty similar but good Hakka cuisines.

As you can see, there are 3 shop houses where Yap Chong occupies. Go to the far most unit (unit with yellow lightings) as that unit is the most spacious and newest amongst the rest. I was placed at the old unit. Crammed and smells mushy.  Must be the table clothes!

This unit accommodates 4 tables only! The good thing is, this is where to main kitchen is! See the “P Choong” sign? That’s the entrance to where the good foods are prepared! Right from the kitchen and straight to your table!

The adjoining unit is just as crammed. 4 tables the max!

Some newspaper cuttings boasting the history of this restaurant and their signature dishes.

The multi purpose corner which houses the cashier, utensils, the “hunting line”, lots of music cd’s of the 60′s.. anything the owner could possibly think of! Phew!

Clay pot lamb belly (羊腩煲) @ RM 12.00 ~ lamb is tender and the gravy is good. Wifey’s favorite!

Steamed tilapia in douchi (豆豉蒸金凤鱼) @ RM 22.40 ~ Fresh and the douchi infused a good aroma on the sauce.

Stir-fry Romaine lettuce (清炒油麦) @ RM 7.00 ~ Crunchy! T’s favorite!

Clay pot vinegar pig trotter (猪脚醋) @ RM 10.00 ~ Don’t normally order this dish but mom felt like having it. Meat is succulent and juicy. Good mouthfeel especially the fatty parts. Tasty and sourish! Tongue went numb after a few spoons of the gravy!!

Stuffed bean curd  (酿豆腐) ~ @ 0.80 cents/pc ~ Hakka specialty. This version does not come with soup but with thick gravy.

Totaled @ RM 65.80 inclusive of rice and a pot of chinese tea. Affordable place to dine but come early or call for reservation to avoid the queue!

U.S. Supreme Court

Gray v. Darlington, 82 U.S. 15 Wall. 63 63 (1872)

Gray v. Darlington

82 U.S. (15 Wall.) 63

The advance in the value of personal property during a series of years does not constitute the gains, profits, or income of any one particular year of the series, although the entire amount of the advance be at one time turned into money by a sale of the property. Accordingly, when bonds of the United States were sold by the owner, after being held by him four years, at an advance of $20,000 over their cost to him, it was held that this amount was not taxable as "gains, profits, or income" of the owner for the year in which the sale was made, under the amendatory Internal Revenue Act of March 2, 1867.

An act of Congress of March 2, 1867, [Footnote 1] provides that

"There shall be levied, collected, and paid annually upon the gains, profits, and income of every person, . . . whether derived from any kind of property, rents, interest, dividends, or salaries, or from any profession, trade, employment, or vocation, . . . or from any other source whatever, . . . a tax of five percentum on the amount so derived over $1,000. . . . And the tax herein provided for shall be assessed, collected, and paid upon the gains, profits, and income for the year ending the 31st of December next preceding the time for levying, collecting, and paying said tax."

The same section also provides (with some exceptions not important to be mentioned), that

"In estimating the gains, profits, and income of any person, there shall be included all incomes derived from interest upon notes, bonds, and other securities of the United States, profits realized within the year from sales of real estate purchased within the year, or within two years previous to the year for which income is estimated, . . . and all other gains, profits, and income derived from any source whatever."

In this state of statutory law, W. Darlington brought the present action against W. C. Gray Collector of Internal

Page 82 U. S. 64

Revenue, to recover the sum of $1,000, alleged to have been illegally assessed and collected under the said law as gains, profits, and income of him, the said Darlington, for the year 1869. It appeared from the allegations of the declaration, that in 1865, the plaintiff, being then the owner of certain United States Treasury notes, exchanged them for United States five-twenty bonds; that in 1869, he sold these bonds at an advance of $20,000 over the cost of the Treasury notes, and that upon this amount the assistant assessor of the United States for the collection district in Pennsylvania within which the plaintiff resided, assessed a tax of five percent, alleging it to be gains, profits, and income of the plaintiff for that year; that on appeal to the assessor of the district, and to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, this assessment was affirmed, and was transmitted to the defendant, as collector of the district, for enforcement; and that upon the latter's demand, with notice that, unless paid, he would collect the same with penalty and interest, the tax was paid by the plaintiff under protest.

To the declaration, setting forth substantially the facts above stated, the defendant demurred. The demurrer was overruled by the circuit court, and judgment given in favor of the plaintiff for the amount paid by him, with interest and costs. The defendant brought the case to this Court on writ of error, and assigned as error the overruling of the demurrer.

British Foreign Secretary visits NNS Unity Naval Dockyard

The United Kingdom Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson visited the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Unity at Naval Dockyard in Victoria Island Lagos, in a bid to strengthen the bilateral relationship between UK and Nigeria.

During a press briefing, Boris said a large amount of the United Kingdom oil comes through the Nigerian water and congratulated the Nigerian Navy for their immense effort to combat piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.

“We in the U.K are very proud to offer assistance to the Nigerian Navy to become even better in tackling piracy” said Boris.

According to the Chief of Trainings and Operations, Rear Admiral Fergusson Bobai, who represented the Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas, while addressing Newsmen, affirmed that the visit was to strengthen the long existing bilateral relations between the two countries which is dated back before independence.

“The British have been the Nigerian Navy’s major training source with their training assistance team and as a matter of fact, they helped us to put up the Nigerian Navy.

“Few days ago, a crew of British personnel arrived Nigeria specifically to conduct fire fighting and damage control trainings onboard at the NNS Unity” he said.

According to Bobai who said the Nigeria Navy’s challenges is within the riverine areas and there is an arrangement with the United Kingdom to get riverine boats which could be used to patrol the creeks in the Niger Delta.

“So it is not out of place that they (UK) give first hand military assistance to Nigeria to facilitate and capacitate the fight against piracy and other maritime crimes especially in the Gulf of Guinea.

“For us, the Foreign Secretary visit is a good omen indicating that our relation with the United Kingdom is growing stronger, so we appreciate them and hope they continue to support us in capacity building” he said.

These guys certainly don’t look like a Christmas story but in a way they are part of one. The men are dry farmers from Eastern Montana standing on the landing at Tacoma’s municipal dock in 1924. They come from five families who are relocating to Vaughn where they bought land and the hopes of a better future after one of them visited Puget Sound the prior Christmas. Nearby there is a boxcar filledwith family possessions, farm tools and two milk cows. They are waiting to have it all loaded on the steam ferry Burrows for the last leg of their long, uncertain journey. There are 14 people in the party, most of which have never seen saltwater or traveled by ship. They are standing in the most unfamiliar of surroundings halfway over water and halfway to new ground on Case Inlet where they plan on being in new homes before the next Christmas. Hard not to see some worry in their faces but with it excitement and even an optimistic smile about the seasons to come. Hard too not to wish them well on their leap of faith. Pictured left to right are C. Blydorp, John W. Walniewicz, Johnny Vanlamen, Charles Vitol, Ed Vanlamen and Hank Vandervan.

This site is about the way history, in this case of a city and it's surrounds, is remembered or recorded in stories and small bits of memory. It's also about the way images and stories go together, how they inform and enrich each other and how we as thinking people fill in the content between a narrative and a visual document. So here is my city in time past, the way it looked and the people and events that create its character. For more than 20 years I have taught a 5 credit course on the History of Tacoma at the University of Washington Tacoma. With an average of 30 or 40 students a year, each doing a research paper as their primary focus for the course, I have benefited from many paths of inquiry and many researched and assembled stories. Here are some of them in the retelling along with the treasures of photographs and images in the collections of the Washington State Historical Society, Tacoma Public Library, University of Washington Digital Archives, Washington State Archives at the Office of the Secretary of State, Library of Congress, Washington State University, Alaska State Library, and many other archives, libraries and private collections.
