Strange just how much can happen in one-third of a year.
Four months ago to the day, I was wheeled into an operating theater in Denmark's top hospital. In the intense few hours that followed, a gifted surgeon and a deeply professional team obtained a dream result: they successfully resected a malignant tumor from my pancreas and then took an incredible number of biopsies from surrounding tissue, just to be on the safe side. Each and every one subsequently came up negative, so the cancer hadn't spread.
Day One - Righospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark
I wrote briefly about the experience of being both diagnosed with the deadliest of all the cancers and spared/saved from it all within the space of three weeks. Many people have asked me: how have things been going since?
The answer is not simple, for one reason: chemotherapy.
As part of its world-beating approach to combating deadly cancers, Denmark's University Hospital recommends and requires that a "cured" patient nonetheless undergo follow-up chemotherapy...for six months.
Three of those months - nearly - have now elapsed, though I have to admit that no month when you are undergoing chemo "elapses" (if only). Having one's post-operative existence divided up into 21-day cycles, each one marked by rising levels of heavy metals in one's body, well it's no walk in the park, alas. And the side-effects of the chemicals used [PDF] - I can testify - are in some ways as insidious as the original cancer, in that they are gradual, but comprehensive.
In my case, and remember each and every cancer patient reacts difficulty, I managed the first three cycles, 63 days, with only a few setbacks. But the fourth cycle somehow knocked me sideways, which is why you have heard so very little from @jg21 on Twitter, and seen so very little of me on Facebook since June's wonderful 8th Cloud Expo in NYC.
The past three weeks, in fact, have brought me face-to-face with some very harsh realities. The final three months of chemo are going to be a challenge...and, in order to successfully meet that challenge, I am going to have to dramatically rearrange my professional priorities so as to maximize healing time, minimize stress, and optimize my working day.
For all indirectly affected by this epiphany, which would probably have been better had it come a tad sooner, I apologize. But never has "less is more" been truer. For me to be back to fighting fitness - and weight! - for the Fall, I need finally to accept that convalescence (from Latin convalescere, whose root is in valescere, to be strong...which I currently am not) isn't something that you just "fit in" around all your other commitments; it is something you have to prioritize ahead of those commitments.
My aim in July, August and September then is to write, but to do so largely offline. You will still see the results online, but only as and when they are uploaded. Look out soon, for example, for my updated and hugely expanded Top 350 Players in the Cloud Computing Ecosystem, for an entirely new feature, Around the Cloud in Eighty URLs, and assorted other features aimed at providing convenient one-stop destinations for Cloud insights and information.
I need a 3-month respite from Twitter. By the final three months of 2012 I shall be completely done with chemotherapy, will no longer be tasting heavy metal at the back of my throat 24x7, will no longer be falling asleep for 12 hours at a time, and will no longer see every muscle group in my entire body subject to the ravages that only chemo can exact...a fierceness that has no respect for former waist or neck sizes.
I repeat to myself twenty times a day that it is better than the alternative. And it is. But it would be wrong of me to pretend that this hasn't been the longest four months of my life, and that I am steeling myself for a rough final three months still ahead.
When all is said and done, it seems a ridiculously small price to pay for surviving pancreatic cancer. I am very, very grateful.
It brings to mind the words of the writer Melodie Beattie, who memorably noted:
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, [and] the unexpected into perfect timing."

Helmut Newton Foundation Presents "Pigozzi and the Paparazzi"
Carla Bruni and Jean Pigozzi, Venice, 1991, Photo Jean Pigozzi, copyright Jean Pigozzi.
Helmut Newton Foundation presents Pigozzi and the Paparazzi with Salomon, Weegee, Galella, Angeli, Secchiaroli, Quinn and Newton, on view June 20th through November 16th, 2008. With the current exhibition the bad boys of photography are the subject of an extensive show for the first time in Germany. Paparazzi photography is an aggressive form of photojournalism, particularly today when the famous names in show business are hunted down and pushed into dangerous situations for the sake of getting the most interesting picture possible. In the 1960s and 1970s, the classic era of the paparazzi, the combination of voyeurism and exhibitionism, whereby photographers lie in wait for the stars to make their public appearance, was less strident and loud. Inventiveness, speed and persistence, along with a touch of cheekinessput to use at the Cannes Film Festival, or on the Via Veneto in Romewas usually enough to guarantee good results. The current exhibition concentrates on snapshots and portraits of famous people from this era and offers us a glimpse of how the mythic aura of the stars was dismantled by showing them going about their daily lives. We encounter Alain Delon and Prince Charles, Mick Jagger and Woody Allen, Sophia Loren and Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot and Gina Lollobrigida at parties, on the street, at the beach and so on. Most of these pictures were taken from a safe distance with the photographer going unnoticed. Nevertheless, once in a while a fight would break out between the hunter and the hunted when a photographer got too close or was discovered in his hiding-place. For example, the photographer Ron Gallela lost several teeth when he suffered a well-aimed punch from Marlon Brando; thereafter he often wore an American Football helmet any time he expected to come across Brando at a public event.
In hardly any of these photographs was there ever time for the subject to strike a pose. Most of the stars were caught by surprise, and to a certain extent many of these images were stolen. Contemporary paparazzi images are consciously excluded from the exhibition, since it is hard to discern any real photographic quality in the flood of images shot by packs of photographers, whose methods have become increasingly ruthless and their equipment mechanized. Today, more so than ever, magazines newspapers are highly interested in this kind of imagery. Regardless of quality and originality, it is sensation that counts.
The paparazzi were legendary, and today they are feared. In a way this all began in the 1930s with Erich Salomon. A lawyer by training and a self-taught photographer, he gained access to major political events and was the first to secretly take photographs in a courtroomsomething that was, and still is, forbidden. No one before him had dared risk doing this. Salomon used a camera with a very light-sensitive lens, which he usually hid in his briefcase or coat. Thus armed, he would find his way in to forbidden places, for example, the salons where high-ranking politicians of the era between the two World Wars pondered the new order of Europe. Occasionally he got caught, but he was hardly ever accused. One of his most famous pictures was taken when he photographed Auguste Briand, then the Foreign Minister of France, who called Salomon the king of indiscretion, the moment he discovered the photographer hiding behind a curtain in the Quai dOrsay in Paris. A similar situation today is unimaginable.
Based in the USA, Arthur Fellig was an Austro-Hungarian photographer, who went by the name of Weegee and had a similarly unconventional style. He, however, focused on other subjects. By listening in on police radio Weegee would get a head start on police units and was often able to reach a scene early enough to photograph people who had suffered accidents, violence and other catastrophes. He was also drawn to those who did not get much from the land of opportunity; the homeless, the prostitutes and the drunks in the Bowery, and chronicled their lives with his camera.
Helmut Newton appreciated the work of both Salomon and Weegee, both of whom could certainly be considered forerunners of the paparazzi. This is one of the reasons that the Helmut Newton Foundation (HNF) in Berlin is hosting this unique and comprehensive exhibition. Here, Newtons works have already been presented in dialogue with a number of contemporaries whose work he appreciated, most recently in the exhibitions Men, War & Peace and Wanted.
In his autobiography Newton wrote that after he saw Federico Fellinis film La Dolce Vita starring Anita Ekberg, he became interested in the phenomenon of the paparazzi. In 1970 he traveled to Rome to work with real paparazzi. As part of a commission for the fashion magazine Linea Italiana, Newton hired a few of them to pose with his models. In Newtons unconventional approach the photographers were asked to treat the model as if she were a famous person. An interesting aspect of Newtons work is the combination of multiple real elements, such as the model, the fashion and the paparazzi, on the one hand, with the staging of the photograph on the other. In the 1980s and 1990's he aimed his camera at the paparazzi againand they too aimed theirs at himwhilst he worked with his models on the Croisette, at the Cannes Film Festival.
The name of Fellinis character Paparazzo from the film La Dolce Vita has since been adopted as the standard term for these kinds of photographers. The character was modeled after a real person: Tazio Secchiaroli, who later rose to become Fellinis set photographer. In the late 1950s and early 1960s Secchiaroli and his colleagues waited nightly, with camera and flash in hand, for prominent victims on Romes Via Veneto. About the same time, Edward Quinn and Daniel Angeli were very active in the South of France, mainly on the Cote dAzur, and often worked with very long lenses. The interactions between the photographers and their usually unwilling models is particularly exciting, especially when stars like Greta Garbo, or Marlene Dietrich, did their best to hide their faces.
Working mostly in New York and Los Angeles, Ron Galella has long been a cult figure in the USA, and was both an influence upon and a mentor to many younger photographers.
Presenting approximately 350 B/W and colour prints by Salomon, Weegee, Galella, Quinn, Angeli, Secchiaroli, Pigozzi and Newton, the exhibition displays the forerunners and central figures of the classic period of Paparrazi Photographyand provides a visual commentary about the evolution of this phenomenon. The exhibition offers an overview and critical look at the history of a photographic genre dedicated to fame and sensationalism. A genre that continues to feed the Yellow Press with exclusive reports on the comings and goings of the jet set in order to push the sales of their publications ever higher.
There will always be paparazzi photographs that cross over into celebrity and portrait photography. Jean Pigozzi, the photographer included in the exhibition title, has been able to cultivate the kind of intensive and intimate relationship with the rich and the famous that is so desperately sought after by the paparazzi at large. He too penetrates into their private sphere, yet the stars generally acquiesce to the photographic unmasking with a smile. Being befriended with many famous people in the international social and cultural scene, he has been making candid portraits of prominent individuals at private locations since the 1970s.

A 6000-tonne capacity winery for Babich Wines will be operational for the 2014 vintage, says managing director Joe Babich.
Offices were being completed in the 4000-square-metre winery at the Cloudy Bay Business Park south of Blenheim, and the project was both on-time and on-budget, Mr Babich said. Six people had been employed as permanent staff in the winery, and Mr Babich expected about another dozen to be employed for vintage, he said.
"All the tanks are in place, the crushers are in . . . most of the gear is in place, it's mainly just electrical stuff to be done. It will certainly be operational for the 2014 vintage."
The winery was different from other wineries, in that all of their tanks were inside, Mr Babich said.
He liked the security of being able to lock things up
It also meant the tanks were protected from environmental factors such as the sun and bird mess, and they were insulated, he said.
this year, with a goal to be completed by December.
Marlborough firms including Robinson Construction Ltd, Hamilton Machinery Ltd, Hydramech Ltd and Active Refrigeration were contracted to provide materials for the project.
Babich, an Auckland-based company, was building its own winery after selling its 50 per cent share of Rapaura Vintners to Treasury Wine Estates last November.
More than 80 per cent of its production is in Marlborough

ASHRAE Publishes Updates on Liquid Cooling for Data Centers
ASHRAE's second edition "Liquid Cooling Guidelines for Datacom Equipment Centers" provides best practice guidance for implementing liquid cooling systems in data centers.
The book addresses increased interest in liquid cooled IT equipment at the rack, equipment and component levels as well as reuse of the heat rejected from IT equipment. The revised edition also includes the addition of supply water temperature classification.
There are five water temperature classes with the highest temperature class being >45 C (113 F), which opens up possibilities for using the rejected heat for building heating systems.
This week, 3M announced the implementation of a supercomputer developed in collaboration with Intel and SGI that uses a two-phase immersion cooling technology pioneered by 3M.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the higher temperature ranges and increased humidity levels set for data centers by ASHRAE have spawned innovative ideas for data center cooling.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

Inclusion of people with disabilities in the church
Who is welcome at your church? What makes you so sure? What evidence do you have to prove this? It was a typical Sunday like any other. I walked into the sanctuary at 10:30 a.m., quickly found my seat in the balcony with my friends and prepared my heart for worship. I love my church very dearly and I was excited about this being one of the few Sundays I had off work where I was actually able to take in the whole service without rushing off afterward. However, my thoughts were elsewhere. You see, the past weekend I attended the Tio Conference...read more
3 meditative questions to enhance your day
Our oldest daughter is finishing up her last week of school. First grade has been full of excitement, growth opportunities and new experiences. Over the course of the past year, I have seen her beautiful personality blossom more fully. She is kind, caring, compassionate, smart, hard-working and welcoming to everyone. She tries hard in everything she does, and excels in what she puts her mind to. Every day has been full of possibility and potential. So it drove me crazy when she'd walk in the door and we'd have what I'd guess is a fairly...read more
When violence is a good thing
I don't always understand our world. It's a tough, complicated mess of lives and loves, fears and failures. And core to our world and news about it these days is violence; which comes in an ever-increasing number of deathly forms. ISIS, police brutality, mass shootings, fear of nuclear wars — these are repeated often enough to numb our ears and hearts. Even as I wrote this, I had to make a quick move to turn down the volume on the TV to shield my kids' ears from more bad news. What are we to do in the midst of such violence? Does our...read more
The pope has a point about marriage
Pope Francis got himself in trouble recently for suggesting that the "great majority" of Catholic marriages being celebrated today are "invalid" because couples do not fully appreciate that they are making a lifetime commitment. The fact that this statement would draw criticism is puzzling, on the face of it, because who would dispute this after even a cursory glance at the world we live in? Apparently conservative critics objected to his use of the word "invalid." Perhaps they think that this word will provide a loophole for those...read more
12 symptoms of religious politics
The biggest turnoff to people about the Christian church is the politics that take place when it becomes institutionalized. My generation is especially exhausted by inauthenticity in spiritual leaders and those who are too spineless to stand for what's right when doing so means losing constituents. But religious politics isn't played only at the leadership level. In fact, it begins as young people in the youth group. It deepens through cliques at Bible school and culminates in the jealous battle for favor and attention over "ordinations...read more
How God makes a miracle
How does God make a miracle? In the beginning, God spoke and created the miracle of life. In the gospels, Jesus spoke and healed the sick. In Acts, the Spirit of God descended in a mighty wind and spoke through the disciples in many different languages. In these and other instances, God performed a miracle with a divine word. But sometimes God works a miracle through ordinary means, using the ordinary objects and everyday actions of human life. For example, when Jesus feeds the crowds, he uses the ordinary loaves and fish of a boy's lunch....read more
God's image in your neighborhood
Some people see God best in nature. They love walking in parks and botanical gardens for hours. The natural world breathes life into their spirit. It's where they prefer to be. I've never been one of those people. It used to sort of niggle at me that I wasn't more of a nature lover. As if it were some sort of flaw that I'd rather hang out with friends and drink coffee or read a book than take a walk in the woods outside my door. If God is best seen in nature, surely a person should want to be there as much as possible, right? Or at...read more
Passive bystanders facilitate hate

Black Lab Linux Education 4.2.5 and Black Lab Professional Desktop 4.2.5 released
Today, we are announcing the release of our signature releases, Black Lab Linux Education, and Black Lab Professional Desktop for the masses.
So what changes have been made? There have been quite a few changes to these distributions in terms of updates and functionality. First, we have focused more on the desktop computing spectrum. While we will continue to offer Black Lab Linux + Server Extensions Pak on our server hardware and the Server Extensions Pak as an additional download, we have decided to stick with what we do the best. Which is the desktop systems. We have heard from customers and users that those are the best releases we do, and while we arent totally lost on the server, we feel we have alot of contributions on the desktop.

Five reasons to switch from Windows to Linux
Linux has been in the ascendancy ever since the open source operating system was released, and has been improved and refined over time so that a typical distribution is now a polished and complete package comprising virtually everything the user needs, whether for a server or personal system. Much of the web runs on Linux, and a great many smartphones, and numerous other systems, from the Raspberry Pi to the most powerful supercomputers. So is it time to switch from Windows to Linux? Here are five reasons why.

A jury deciding a case of alleged benefit fraud by a same-sex couple has retired to consider the nature of marriage.
The jury of 10 women and two men retired from the Napier District Court at 10.25am.
Judge Geoff Rea had summed up the week-long case for and against former Work and Income case manager Matthew Goodall and Daniel Morgan, who the Crown claims remained Goodall's partner despite claiming to be single to receive benefits.
Goodall, 41, is charged with dishonestly using a document with intent to obtain pecuniary advantage.
Morgan, 37, faces eight charges of the same nature between 2007 and 2010.
The Crown says the men claimed to be single so Morgan could continue receiving benefits, despite a law change from
April 1, 2007, that required beneficiaries in same-sex relationships to have their partners' incomes assessed in the same way as those of heterosexual couples.
The men claimed to have separated in late 2006, but to have remained living together and sharing expenses for the benefit of two children they cared for.
The Crown points to the numerous occasions after April 2007 on which Morgan stated on forms that the pair were still together. It says Goodall lied when he wrote a letter stating the pair had separated as a means of ensuring Morgan continued receiving benefits.
Judge Rea told jurors they must put prejudice and sympathy aside. He outlined the definition of "partner".
To consider the two in a relationship the jury needed to conclude they had a financial commitment to each other that went beyond sharing expenses and must amount to at least "a willingness to support the other person if that need existed", the judge said.
On top of that there must be "a continuing emotional commitment between the couple".
"Of these things the sharing of the same roof and a sexual relationship are likely to be the most significant indicators. However all the circumstances need to be considered in each case and there can be occasions where the sharing of a household and sexual activity between the couple are not necessary for the relationship to be established," Judge Rea said.
He said the Crown had to prove that Morgan knew he was being dishonest when he claimed the benefits and that Goodall's sole purpose in writing and signing the letter was so Morgan would get something he was not entitled to.

@officialdyce831 hits the scene with an 11-track mixtape that features guest performances from Berner, Nef The Pharaoh, J. Stalin, Willie Joe and more. The project was exclusive produced by CuddyOnTheBeat and features a number of bangers that could fit just as easily on radio, as well as a handful of joints for reflective street dudes. Slap Blue Hunnids below. (Promoted)
@YoungGully x @DJFreshX3 have just unveiled the follow up to their collosal joint project "David". Both masters of their crafts, the fierce combination of Gully on the mic and DJ Fresh on the instrumental continues to be a source of real musical magic in the booth. "David 2: Michaelangelo" features 12 new classics, with guest verses by Tay Off The Top, Taylor Supreme, Prynce Tha Writer and more! Grab the must hear project from Young Gully x DJ Fresh "David 2: Michaelangelo" online now.
@RexxLifeRaj finally unleashes his long awaited follow up to The Escape EP and his collab with Kyral Music, Dreamland: Telegraph Ave. Father Figure is a 13-track undertaking that finds the Berkeley rapper taking strides to further secure chances at a place in the Bay Area's hip-hop upper echelon, joining the ranks of other up and comers Nef The Pharoah, Kamaiyah, and Larry June.
Following up the success of singles "Moxie Java" (with the aforementioned Nef The Pharaoh) and "Shit N Floss", Father Figure showcases Raj's penchant for crafting catchy, ear-wormy choruses that sound as much inspired by Drake as they are by cuts you'd catch on 98.1FM. Don't get it twisted though the local dad can also rap his ass off and showcases his deft bars on most of his tracks though, they admittedly often take a backseat to his engaging singing. Just to throw a wrench in your expectations Raj even produces the track that might be the most reflective and historical recounting of his life, an ode to his father, "OJW3" (this blogger's favorite so far).
Overall this joint is a worthy listen and a manifesto from a hungry artist who knows he has what it takes to do his art at a high level with the focus of an athlete seeking a championship. Listen to Father Figure above, and cop it on iTunes tonight when it becomes available.
@PhilthyRichFOD enlists @IamKevinGates @YoungDolph & @Icewear_Vezzo for this mega remix to his banger "Piss Codeine". The lean enthusiasts all get on the track and flex about their gangster and lavish lifestyles in addition to their supping habits. Slap the new single above.
@swaaggy_j @robbykyng drop their new mixtape #TheSummerJams, which features 8 new slaps including Go Get It featuring @Showy4Mayor! Make sure you hit the beach, fire up the bbq and slap this one time! (Promoted)

The tour was well organized!
The guides were friendly and answered all our questions !
Highly recommend it
Location was convenient at the Empress as we were staying right across
The crew were very knowledgeable about the animal life.
I had a nice tour with Five Star Whale watching. They were professional and I liked the boat, because when it gets cold you can sit inside. Also at end of trip you might be tired and you can rest. Was not a great sightings day, but we did see three Killer Whales one was a baby. We saw one meinke whale far off. No guarantees with nature, but I had a very good trip with them. Highly recommend this company.
We were able to see several sightings of the L Pod family. It was very exciting.
Joan Australia
Great crew and spectacular whale sighting. Could have spent more time watching them
Excellent tour. We saw a number of whales. Our guide was excellent. We thoroughtly enjoyed this tour.
I was nice , but i was expecting see more whales I got the chance to only see 2.
No whales once again but the staff were knowledgeable.

Fratton Park
11 April 2009
3.00 pm
The Baggies travel to Fratton Park with only the slightest hope of staving off relegation. A win today would be welcome but in the grand scheme of things will probably only be a consolation in a hugely disappointing season that had held so much promise for the West Brom faithful.
This is undoubtedly a must win game for both clubs but West Brom have had a lot of those recently and have surrendered in every game. It has appeared as though the opposition has wanted it far more than the players in blue and white stripes and that has been the hardest thing to swallow for supporters. Albion's manager, Tony Mowbray, has been applauded for sticking to his principles in the Premier League but those principles have borne absolutely no resemblance to those on display in the Championship winning season. The Baggies chief has failed miserably this season with his team selections and lack of tactical nous whilst the likes of Tony Pulis and Phil Brown have seemed to find a formula that has made them competitive in the Premier League. To his credit Mowbray has admitted he has made mistakes but he continues to make them and rumour has it that the Club's Board are becoming increasingly disappointed with the way the season has unfolded and are seriously questioning whether to pull the plug on the Manager's reign sooner rather than later.
Having spent over £22 million in the Summer the Board and supporters expected and wanted better.
For an intelligent man Tony Mowbray has made plenty of howlers when speaking to the Press. Who can forget how he poured scorn on Roy Keane's Sunderland following a home defeat the season Albion failed to win promotion through the play offs and Sunderland finished as Champions? He also upset Martin O'Neill earlier this season by claiming that Villa weren't interested in playing football after they had beaten the Baggies at Villa Park to do the double.
Still Mowbray feels he is a better manager now following his season of failure:
"How am I doing this year? I am the same manager I was last year that took the accolades.
"I think I am actually a better manager from the experiences this year, sitting, listening and talking to some world class managers with some of the best teams in the world.
"I like to think I can bring a conversation into a manager`s office, sitting and talking about football, they seem to open up and want to talk about how they see football.
"If you can`t learn from these people then you`ll never become a better manager and yet here we are, sitting at the bottom of the league and the perception is that maybe we got lucky last year."
"Ultimately I think that`s one of my strengths and it`s what I do. I try to improve footballers."
Most fans will disagree with Mowbray's assessment.
Glen Johnson is suspended so the error strewn Younes Kaboul is likely to play instead.
Jermaine Pennant will also play.
(Pompey) James, Kaboul, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Pennant, Mullins, Hughes, Nugent, Krancjar, Crouch. Subs: Begovic, Blehadj, Pamarot, Basinas, Utaka, Kanu, Gekas.
Crouch scored at the Hawthorns and I fully expect him to breach the Baggies defence again today.
Meite could come in for Martis to further damage the confidence of the young man.
(West Brom) West Brom: Carson, Zuiverloon, Meite, Olsson, Robinson, Morrison, Greening, Koren, Dorrans, Brunt, Fortune. Subs: Kiely, Hoefkens, Menseguez, Borja Valero, Simpson, Mulumbu, Chris Woods
Dorrans has been impressive in his appearances to date.
Neville Staples
3-1 to Pompey
Away to Man City on 18 April.
