Some history of the United Methodist Church
of Harbor Springs...
The beginnings of the present-day Harbor Springs United Methodist Church started in 1875 with the formation of the Union Sunday School, and the Methodist Sunday School was organized in June 1876. On September 18, 1876, the Methodist Episcopal Society of the Village of Little Traverse was formed as an outgrowth of the Sunday School. The Sunday School and church services were first held in the government school building located on East Third Street, just northwest of the present church building. Pastor Jonathan M. Whitney received the first three church members just 12 days later.
The first baptism was held on August 26, 1877, by immersion in Little Traverse Bay. The baptismal candidate was Jonathan Moorhead. In that fall, work began on the frame church on the same site where the brick church now stands. Timbers were donated by Mr. Drake, and the men of the church cut them into boards. The construction was far enough along to allow Christmas "exercises" to be held in it that year. Construction continued and the church was pronounced "complete" in 1882.
The membership grew to 77 in just two short years with the debt on the entire church property paid off. The minister's salary was $400 per year with the parsonage rent also provided at $75 that year. The church was heated with wood, and oil lamps lit the sanctuary. Improvements to the church that year included a new pulpit and lamp (cost $35) and repairs totaling $105. The Annual Report of the M.E. Church that year includes the statement, "Let us take heart for the coming year, the outlook was never better, we are free from all debt, we have without and within a neat and attractive church, our congregations were never larger and now all we need is more earnestness, more steadiness, more intense devotion to God's House and we doubt not that the new year will be one of even greater success."
The first instrument used in the church was a pump organ bought in 1899 for $64. Membership that year was 177. Through many of the years only a piano was used for worship. A new Baldwin electric organ was given to the church in 1950 as a memorial. Then, in 1980, a new $12,500 Allen Digital Computer organ was installed. The Sohmer grand piano was donated by the Feathers and the Medlunds in 1981.
Groups such as the Ladies' Aid Society, Epworth League and Wesleyan Club sponsored any number of good works. They served meals to down-and-out families and made the gospel real to generations of schoolchildren. In 1900, they held a "bee" to move an old stage coach station to a lot behind the church, where it became the parsonage. They held revivals and ice cream socials and gospel concerts. They proudly sponsored their own LeRoy Lightfoot as a missionary to India in the 1920s and again in the late 1940s. A community food pantry was housed in the church basement for over 40 years until the need outgrew the space available and the pantry was moved to the Holy Childhood Community Center on December 21, 2009. Over 100 families use the pantry each Monday morning.
The frame church building stood as built with the exception of two additions made in 1897. The last service was held on Sunday, November 2, and it was torn down to make way for the new building on November 5, 1913. The foundation walls were completed November 26, with the walls and roof finished just a few hours before winter set in. The present brick church building was complete and dedicated a little over a year later, on December 13, 1914, during the pastorate of the Rev. Harry Walker. Church services were held in the Town Hall during construction.
Earl H. Mead was the architect, and he also designed the 1915 high school building and the Harbor Springs Library building. The total cost of the new church was approximately $17,000, which included furnishings and was arranged as an auditorium with theatre seating. During renovations in 1959, the location of the altar was changed and the theatre seats were replaced with pews. The 1996 remodel included the addition of an elevator and new bathrooms with full handicap accessibility. We are currently restoring the stained-glass windows--one at a time.
The original church bell is mounted on two hand-hewn timbers in the present bell tower. The bell's inscription reads: "Harbor Springs M.E. Church - E. Marble; pastor 1882 - God With Us." The bell was forged in Baltimore, Maryland, by Henry McShane & Co. and has two different tones provided by the hand-pulled bell cords which still calls the congregation to Sunday worship.
Today, over 135 years later, the Harbor Springs United Methodist Church has 71 members and continues its active Sunday School and Bible Study classes. Smorgasbord and turkey dinners continue to fund the church finances. The United Methodist Women host a November Holiday Bazaar which features the talents of the congregation with a huge variety of hand-made creations, soup luncheon and cookie walk!
Baptisms are no longer conducted in the Bay, and the wood stoves and oil lamps are long gone. But the faith shared with neighbors, and the warm, homelike fellowship where children are taught the living word of God, continues.
The United Methodist Church of Harbor Springs is part of the West Michigan Conference, and information about the Conference can be found at http://www.westmichiganconference.org/ Additional information about the United Methodist Church and its principles can also be found at www.umc.org

|So, we started seed sowing for the first time, this year. Everything is growing fine except the 1 plant I was most interested in... The Heuchera! I didn't cover the seeds, and keep them about 65° at night. It's only been a few weeks since we started the seed, but everything else is coming up (even the hot peppers!). Any secrets to starting Heuchera from seed?
Thank you
Follow-Up Postings:
|I've only grown them from seed once, but I had great results. I used the wintersowing technique and it seemed as if every seed sprouted. The plants got crowded fast, since I sowed quite generously, so I planted them out when they were still tiny. I haven't had a chance to pull back the leaves and pine needles yet to see how they survived the winter. I think you just need to give them more time. Remember how small those seeds were? The seedlings will start equally small, so will need some extra time to grow big enough to be seen. Good luck,
|According to the seed germination database, heuchera of several different species are slow to germinate. A couple it shows needs a cold strat, but I'm assuming the ones you have have villosa in their heritage, so they may not need the cold, just patience. :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Germination Database -- H
|Docmom, I wanted to try winter sowing but haven't had the chance yet. May do it this winter. We're going to keep trying even if we don't get anything from this batch of seeds. I think I can plant seedlings right up to early fall?
"but I'm assuming the ones you have have villosa in their heritage..."
I'm new to Heuchera so I would have no clue. I ordered a packet of "Melting Fire" after seeing Heuchera growing in a few different places, this past winter. From the seed germination db, they're not talking chilling but freezing? I'm hoping I can get this variety to grow, cause I'd like to try some others. Thanks for the database link, bookmarked it....
|Looking up Melting Fire, it looks like it is a micanthra and on the database it shows the seeds sprouting at 68 degrees in two weeks, but I would give them some time. They may not be warm enough or ready to sprout yet.
|Cool. I'll just wait em out. I'm not seeing any fungus in the cells, so no problems waiting. I also just realized that the seeds i sowed were pelleted. I'm thinking that could extend the time....
|Karen, you were right on!
I wanted to wait to take a pic until they were a bit bigger, but couldn't.
Never ever have we started such tiny seedlings!
G and J
|I just planted the Marvelous Marble & Molten Fire I grew from seed. Also another lime green I'm not sure the name of. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy they were. I just wish there were more varieties available from seed.
|Yay! Congrats on your sprouts.
|Please tell me where on earth I can buy heuchera seeds? I love them but they are so expensive to buy at the nurseries!

|I just got my seed at a local store...they were not named though...just a pic with red blooms and couldn't resist lol!
No sprouts yet, but it's only been a week...AND they were started in the "winter sow" manner....
A few years back I wintersowed seeds taken from 'Purple Palace' and had great results :)
- Posted by valleyrimgirl 2b (My Page) on Mon, Sep 9, 13 at 9:42
|So, did the heuchera seeds sprout?
I start heuchera seeds just like a petunia seed...on top of the soil. So easy to do! Both last year and this year there was almost 100% germination.
This fall I saved seeds from 29 of my most favorite heuchera here in my yard. Some of these are seeds from my 2012 seedlings that bloomed this summer too!
- Posted by beth_b_kodiak zone 5a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 17:37
|valleyring girl, did you wintersow the huchera? Any sprouts yet?
I have two flats of commercial seeds but so far....nothing showing

I worked at Take Care Health part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – As a physician, I can focus exclusively on patient care and not worry with any details of actually running a practice. There is tremendous internal support for the physicians with a wonderful work environment filled with grateful, respectful patients who are thrilled to have a workplace physician onsite.
Cons – If the client decides to close their onsite health clinic or go with another clinic management company, then the job disappears through no fault of your own as the physician. So there's not the element of geographic stability that one can get with a typical private practice in a community setting.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep spreading to more geographic markets and keep up the good work!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Some of us were fortunate enough to be associated with Jim in two of his avid pursuits: the First United Methodist Church in Anniston and the Anniston Kiwanis Club. In both instances, Jim could always be counted on when things had to get done. When he spoke up to make a point or give us the background story, everyone listened, and we were better for it.
Jim will be missed, but his example is one we should all try to copy. The best way to honor Jim's memory is to serve our community and our Lord.

Christ, so that's what Montreal does to ya!
I MUST go to a workshop sometime.
OMG, 0kelvin!!, that is the best improvement I've ever seen. You need like a ca Most Improved Achievement award for that last piece!
I love all of your creature designs too. Keep up the anatomy studies to help your wonderful ideas come to fruition.

That fat kid: I'm actually making a new smily right now. Just a small one I've seen a few people asking for. Now I just have to wait for the right time and place to unveil it!
Thanks again guys!
Here's two new speedpaints! I'm having fun with these again!
The guy took somewhere around an hour and the monster took closer to two.
Thanks for looking!
The Thunderdome images have finally been posted, so I'm posting my piece here as well. It's hard to get many individual comments when your picture is surrounded by 270 others. Tell me what you think!
Also, I've got a couple new speedpaints. Trying to paint more people. I'm getting pretty comfortable with the head, but I'm still afraid of bodies, apparently.
I'm currently working on a gift painting, and man that's a lot of pressure!

Great improvement from Montreal! Your smilies rock. Keep posting!!

You got some nice creature designs, I also like the lighting in your work.
Some amazing stuff you got, and a great variety! Keep on going.
This is definitely the most personal piece I've done so far. My little sister got married this past week and I painted this for her and her husband as a wedding present.
It was very well received. It's not my most technically perfect piece, but it's probably the one I'm most proud of.
Nice work. You have good reason to be proud of the last piece: it's well balanced and nicely executed. Nice to see your progress in this thread.

Thanks Caledonian!
Here's my COW for this week, the topic was Sand Hunter.
The strange creature was first discovered as a pup, curled up in the third sandtrap of Hole 14 of the Hidden Butte Country Club Golf Course, by the course groundskeeper Applesweep. At that time it was no bigger than a small dog. Mr. Applesweep took the timid creature back to his shack and shared his lunch with him. They formed a bond immediately, and Applesweep would find the creature sitting in the bunker every day, waiting for him.
Over the following months, Applesweep realized the creature was growing at an alarming rate. It would soon be far too large to keep hidden at the golf course. He tried to take it home one night, but in the morning there was nothing in his yard but a large hole, and when he arrived at the golf course that morning he found the creature waiting in the third sandtrap of Hole 14.
After the fatalities began to happen, Applesweep came to regret letting the creature live underneath Hole 14. But even more than that, he came to regret teaching him how to play fetch.
Hey, bud! It's been a while, I thought I would visit your thread. That last piece with your sister looks great. I love how you did her dress, it has a lighter and more translucent appearence than most of the clothing in your work. The faces are nice, too. I'm sure they were very happy with it, and congrats to your sis!
Here's my fancy new Thunderdome piece! This is slightly different than the one in the Thunderdome thread. After seeing it against all the other entries, some errors became glaringly obvious to me so I did some level adjustments and minor changes. I'd love some comments and crits, you don't get many of those in the Thunderdome itself.
The Escape
If you really want to get into all the gritty details, you can see a full resolution version of it here!
This file is like 1.5 megs (therefore too big to host on CA), so please go easy on my bandwidth.
I saved some progress images as I went along, if anyone is interested in seeing those. Even if you aren't, I'll still probably post them sometime!
A sketch I did. YAY!
After working on my LMS for the last month, I've been doing a lot of quick sketches like this, playing around with new things and stuff.
Here's some older sketches as well. These were concept sketches for the different clans you would meet in a game concept me and some friends were throwing around. We ended up going with a different game idea though.
Also, new smily!
Feel free to use it!

hey, i like how you've bumped the depth of the darks in the tdome piece, a small change, but big improvement. I had fun looking to see all the toys i could recognize in your piece, & i think technique-wise it's a step up for you, regardless of the judging. keep on drawlin, you've got great ideas!
It's great to see experimentation in your SB, and that speedpaint is really pushing some boundaries for you! I'd love to see more of it! And dude, way to step up with your LMS! There is this sense of theatrical lighting I get from it, yet is has a printed feel, like and MC Escher drawing. Am I to assume you've included every toy you ever had and/or played with as a child? I see some really obscure stuff in there - Boglins, Big Frank, Madballs, Baxter Stockman, Brooklyn from Gargoyles, Funzo... - props to you on an obviously painstaking piece! I haven't even looked at all the entries yet X_x...

Coolest. Smiley.
I'm really seeing a strong progression here, Kelvin.
It's really nice to see your ideas working themselves out, just in the SB thread and I assume much more so in your mind. Some of those last images are starting to show some real development in big ways- it's very inspiring to see happening in front of me eyes.
Please keep posting!
Whoa that's some wicked imagination. I actually loled at the sand hunter COW.
mad props on the tdome piece,so many details.

Always think about:
lighting! design! perspective! proportion!
And (self)motivation is still everything.
Thanks for the comments guys!
cotron - Thanks man! Your piece was great too.
Steph - Haha, I thought you'd get a kick out of the Breezie Pony. It's not every toy I played with as a kid, but there are certainly a good number of them in there. If it was every toy I played with, he'd probably be like 90% Ninja Turtles.
Justin - Thanks!
Waffle_King - Thanks, I've definitely felt the progress I've made lately. I've been a lot more confident in what I'm doing.
JERI - Thanks!
Carnifex - Hehe, yeah, I threw in a few little tributes to CA members, like the Fozzy and Steph's Breezie Pony. I'm pretty sure there are a few others too, but I can't remember what they were now.
I've been inspired lately, going through one of those good humps, art-wise. Probably excitement building up for the workshop in December, among other things. Not to say the crap I'm producing is of any higher quality, there's just more of it.
This image was like 75% fluke. It was just a series of happy accidents I stuck a face on.
I sketched this at work yesterday when I had nothing else much to do.
This too.
These are just sketches, but I've got two bigger pieces like 90% done. Hopefully they'll be in a presentable state soon and I'll post 'em.
Oh yeah, and I've got a blog now too. http://ericpoulton.blogspot.com. Who knows what I'll use it for!

Great rang off stuff 0kelvin, so much stuff you keep having a go at makes it's really lovely too look through your book. Also the rang of styles is really interesting. It's good too see people are still trying to find the best style for them.
Hope you are getting more time out of work.
last one has really good focus,despite being soft-reminds me abit of atmospheria's stuff. nice

Wow, man, you're really improving! I miss you tons, btw, and I love that detailed TD piece you did (I see a Speak N' Spell! That takes me back...) I think your rendering off textures is improving all the time. I would post more, but I JUST got the internet installed at my new place, and
I've been doing 50 pages of sketchbook a week minimum, plus all of my other art and homework, but haven't really felt like scanning all of it. Busybusybusy at digipen!
So, yeah, feel free to pm me sometime, we should do a sketchjam sometime or something!
Thanks for the comments guys!
Here's a little something for the Halloween season.
This is the first pumpkin I've carved like this, I usually do the standard cut-out jack-o-lantern face. I'm pretty proud of it, seeing as the last time I did anything in 3 dimensions, I was probably still playing with play-doh. I'll have to do more of this kind of thing, I really enjoyed it.
That pumpkin kicks ass.
Great stuff, I love your thunderdome piece.Top notch work.
We'll ride the spiral to the end, we may just go where no one's been
That's the coolest jack-o-lantern i've ever seen..
Your digital painting has improved a TON since you started. Keep doing those COWs! I particullarly enjoyed the 'sand hunter'
Very impressive improovment, keep doing your thing, the sandhunter is my fav ^^ *tries to steal some of your creativity*

It's been a while since my last post, and I've purposely avoided writing about politics for some time because it makes my blood pressure go up and that's not a good thing right?
I may have said this before, but I get surprised by the amount of stupidity that gets spewed by Democrats towards the progressive community. The scapegoating, falsehoods, and outright stupidity by Democrats towards progressives is simply appalling. No, I'm not asking Democrats for a lolly pop, a cookie, or a pat on the back, but judging from the attitude of many Democrats I guess I should be asking for a permission slip to vote for what I believe in as a progressive.
Progressive First, Compromise Later
As someone who follows politics pretty closely I like to read many political websites and Democratic Party forums. In many of those sites progressives are often ridiculed as "purists" for criticizing Democrats from the left which I just find misleading and outright false. Personally, I accept the fact that compromises need to made in politics. The problem is the starting point of the argument or position. For example if you have 2 politicians compromising ideas from the Left and Right you will most likely end up with a solution in the middle. The problem that progressives like myself have is that President Obama did not fight for a lot of progressive ideas in his administration. He immediately compromised starting with a middle position to end up with a middle-right result. On the issue of healthcare he did not fight for Single-Payer healthcare. Not only did he not fight for Single-Payer, but it was shut out of the discussion altogether. The same thing with not closing Guantanamo Bay. Nobody is denying Congress stonewalled the closing, but did President Obama keep on fighting for it to be closed? Answer: NO, he gave up. This is just a small sample of Progressive issues that were not fought for under President Obama. I would have had little issue with the Healthcare compromise in the end if President Obama fought for the most progressive option first. It's not about the end result being "pure", it's about the progressive fight before the compromise. Democrats always get that part wrong.
Don't Blame Me, I'm Voting 3rd Party
Every Presidential election election the Democrats and Republicans create this big dark cloud of deceit that if you don't vote for either them(3rd party) then you are voting for their counterpart. This is commonly known as the "spoiler" argument. This is the argument that perpetuates the myth that the Democrats and Republicans are entitled to your vote. Unfortunately, every 4 years since 2000 when the Supreme Court granted George W. Bush the Presidency 3rd Party voters have been under scrutiny due to Ralph Nader's vote total in Florida in the 2000 election. (I'm not going to get into all the history of that, but feel free to google that for yourself)
Since the 2000 election if you declared yourself as a 3rd Party voter there were all of a sudden special invisible rules that Democrats would demand with big fiery breathe that you follow like if you lived in a certain state you should only vote for a certain party. A very interesting way to run a democratic process if you ask me. Unfortunely, this year I have seen the groundwork placed in various articles set to blame 3rd Party voters should President Obama lose the election. This is a form of voter intimidation and it should not be tolerated. In fact, I am always surprised at how Democrats expect us to vote for their candidate after them ridiculing 3rd party voters. Is that really the best way to get votes for your candidate? Am I really supposed to be swayed by your arrogance, sense of entitlement, and insults?
Unfortunately, in Election 2012 the Democratic Party did not give me the option of voting for a progressive at all. In fact, they didn't even give us a Presidential Primary because it's somehow an evil thing to primary sitting Presidents. One of the bullshit arguments Democrats like to use to dissuade people from voting 3rd Party is that if you vote in the party primary then you should accept the loss and come together like a big happy family in the general election. Well so much for that… The last hope argument Democrats like to use is the Supreme Court argument. This is usually the trump card that is pulled if all other arguments fail to change your mind. You will get that argument whether the Democratic nominee is President Obama, Garfield the cat, or Scooby Doo. Point being, it's always gonna be there no matter who it is and no matter how old the current Supreme Court justices are. I understand Roe v. Wade is a big issue, but that's not the only issue in America and around the world. This would be a swaying argument to me if I felt confident that President Obama wouldn't appoint a justice that would erode civil liberties the same way his administration has done the last 4 years.
I've decided to vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party this year because she's the only progressive option on the ballot, but let me ask for permission first…
- I disagree with President Obama's extension of the War in Afghanistan.
- I disagree with President Obama's drone strike program.
- I disagree with President Obama's extension of the Patriot Act.
- I disagree with President Obama's kill list assassination program
- I disagree with President Obama's record crackdown on medical marijuana.
- I disagree with President Obama's lackluster support of labor unions.
- I disagree with President Obama's Affordable Healthcare Act which is a giveaway to insurance companies after never fighting for single-payer healthcare, and negotiating away the public option in a backroom deal..
- I disagree with President Obama's lackluster support of the public education system and teacher's unions.
- I disagree with President Obama's record deportation policy of immigrants.
- I disagree with President Obama ignoring climate change.
- I disagree with President Obama not making a commitment to protect Social Security.
Do I now have permission to vote 3rd Party?

For years, Jessy Daumen has been adding fiddle, mandolin and harmonies to the recordings and performances of an array of Orlando acts, ranging from whimsical children's shows to local listening rooms to a Citrus Bowl stage at last year's Orlando Calling music festival.
Now, at long last, Daumen is stepping into the spotlight with her own solo debut album, "Finding Flowers," which will be celebrated at a CD release show Sunday at Ceviches Tapas Bar & Restaurant in Orlando. The nine-song studio release, recorded at Orlando's Richter Records, is an impressive collision of musical styles that brushes against bluegrass, classical, rock, funk and jazz.
It's far-out and fabulous, a swirling sonic trip. If the Beatles had been influenced by bluegrass titans Flatt & Scruggs instead of the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" might have sounded something like this.
Co-produced by Daumen and veteran Orlando musician Davey Schweizer, the tracks feature an A-list of homegrown performers including multi-instrumentalist Anthony Cole (Mofro), Matt Lapham (Shak Nasti) and singer-songwriter Terri Binion.
"I've been so blessed to have so many awesome musicians and people around me," Daumen says. "I've always wanted to do my own thing and finally, last year, I said, 'I'm just gonna do it.'"
Considering the seamless way the expansive songs fold into each other, it's hard to believe that Daumen arrived at the studio with virtually none of the material written.
"I came with a couple of chords and a song idea," she says. "At that point, I was doing a lot of soul searching and getting up super-early in the mornings, trying to read self-help books. I was really thinking about the next step with my career and personal life and everything. I had a head full of thoughts."
The album's opening song, a snippet of an old-time fiddle rendition of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," was one of several interludes culled from bluegrass recordings that Daumen made as a 10-year-old in North Carolina. As an introduction to "Finding Flowers," the hymn dissolves into an echo-laden conclusion that sounds like the invitation to a flashback or a dream.
In reality, Daumen, 30, describes the songs that follow as a spiritual search. One of the titles, "Reluctant Messiah," is based on a book by "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" author Richard Bach:
"The record really is kind of about finding yourself and where you belong," she says. "It's about searching for the savior inside yourself. You shouldn't sit around and wait for somebody to come save you, because you can make your own miracles happen."
Daumen hopes that the music will conjure images among listeners, a notion that inspired the concept for Sunday's CD release show, a production that will incorporate art, dance and dramatic elements. She will be joined by a long list of her creative friends, ranging from Orlando actor Christian Kelty, choreographer Sunny Raskin, singer-songwriter Joseph Martens (also Daumen's fiancee) and members of the Orlando Russian Ballet.
"I've played a million shows, but I haven't played a whole show of my original music ever," she says. "That is a big deal for me. This is what I see when I make the music and now I just get to share it."
This time, all of Daumen's friends will be helping her shine in the spotlight.

GVSU 12th Conference on the Americas Workshop
Friday, March 15, 2013
Eberhard Center room 215, 301 West Fulton, Pew Grand Rapids Campus
A workshop, "Immigrants and Citizens in a Global City," will be presented by Saskia Sassen, one of two keynote speakers at the 12th Conference on the Americas, hosted by the Latin American Studies Program March 15-16 at Grand Valley State University. This year's conference theme is "Places, Bodies, and Practices in Latin America."
Research and writing by Sassen, the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, focuses on the social, economic and political dimensions of globalization, as well as immigration, global cities, new technologies, and changes within the liberal state that result from current transnational conditions.
Sassen will also give a keynote address, "Global Cities: Today's Frontier Zones," Saturday, March 16, from 4-5:30 p.m., in Eberhard Center room 201-3.
Additional conference topics will explore the concepts of space, bodies and practices from different viewpoints (local or global, rural or urban, natural or man-made), and will include gender and sexualities in Latin America, cultural representations of places and bodies in art, film and literature, race, ethnicity, and space, as well as community initiatives in the U.S. and Latin America.
Admission is free. For more information about the conference visit gvsu.edu/las/coa or contact Zulema Moret at 616-331-2286 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Barb Blankemeier at 616-331-8110 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Previous Topic
General questions and answers
Next Topic
What to expect
What are the different types of cancer treatment?
If someone you know is being treated for cancer, you may want to learn more about what they're going through. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are the most common types of cancer treatment.
Surgery is often the first treatment option if the tumor can be taken out of the body. Sometimes only part of the tumor can be removed. Radiation, chemotherapy, or both might be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery. For more on this, please see our document called Surgery.
Doctors use chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. The term chemotherapy (often shortened to "chemo") refers to the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Usually, the drugs are given intravenously (into a vein, IV) or taken by mouth. Chemo drugs then travel through the body in the bloodstream, reaching cancer cells that may have spread (metastasized) from the tumor to other places in the body. For more about this, please see, Understanding Chemotherapy: A Guide for Patients and Families.
Radiation therapy uses high energy rays (such as x-rays) to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. The radiation may come from outside the body (external radiation) or from radioactive materials put right into the tumor (internal or implant radiation). Getting external radiation is much like getting an x-ray. The radiation itself is painless, but tissue damage may cause side effects. For more information, please see our document, Understanding Radiation Therapy: A Guide for Patients and Families.
Other kinds of treatment you might hear about include hormone therapy, stem cell or bone marrow transplant, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Hormone therapy is sometimes used to treat certain kinds of prostate and breast cancers. Immunotherapy is treatment designed to boost the cancer patient's own immune system to help fight the cancer. Targeted therapy is treatment that targets the cancer cells and causes less damage to healthy cells. Please call us or visit our Web site if you would like to learn more about these types of cancer treatment.
You might know someone else being treated for the same type of cancer, but don't assume that any two people will respond to treatment the same way. Each cancer is different, and each person's response to treatment is unique. It's best not to compare one person's treatment to another's.
What are the side effects of cancer treatment?
The type of treatment a person gets depends on the cancer type and stage (how far the cancer has spread), the age of the patient, and other medical problems and treatments the person has had. Each drug or treatment plan has different side effects. It's hard to predict what side effects will occur, even when patients get the same treatment. Some effects can be bad and others fairly mild. Some people have a tough time with cancer treatment, but there are also many who manage quite well and are even able to work throughout treatment.
Chemotherapy side effects
Short-term (and often treatable) side effects of chemo can include nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, hair loss, and mouth sores. Because chemo can damage the blood-producing cells of the bone marrow, patients may have low blood cell counts. Low blood counts can cause certain side effects, such as:
- Higher risk of infection (from a shortage of white blood cells)
- Serious bleeding or bruising after cuts or injuries (from a shortage of blood platelets)
- Extreme tiredness or fatigue (sometimes from low red blood cell counts)
For these reasons, cancer care teams carefully watch for and manage chemo side effects.
Because everyone's body is different, people notice different effects from chemo. Most of the side effects of chemo will go away after treatment ends. For instance, hair lost during treatment nearly always grows back after treatment. In the meantime, most patients are able to use wigs, scarves, or hats to cover, warm, or protect their heads.
Radiation therapy side effects
Radiation treatments are much like x-rays and are not painful. The most common side effects are skin irritation and severe tiredness (fatigue). Fatigue is especially common when treatments go on for several weeks. It's a feeling of extreme tiredness and low energy, which often does not get better with rest. People also report fatigue caused by the daily trips to the hospital to get their radiation treatments.
Many people work throughout the course of their radiation treatments, though it's common for them to adjust their schedules or work fewer hours until they feel better. Sometimes people are not able to keep working during treatment because of the extreme fatigue or other side effects.
Is cancer treatment worse than cancer?
This is a common myth that can shorten lives. People who believe that cancer treatment is worse than cancer itself might not follow through with treatments that can prolong life or even cure their cancer.
It's easy to understand the source of this myth. Often people diagnosed with cancer have never had any symptoms or pain. For others, the symptoms have just started and are not too bad yet. But once the treatment starts, they often begin to feel pretty sick. It's true that chemo, radiation, and surgery can cause distressing and sometimes serious side effects. But most of them can be treated and will go away after treatment ends, and cancer treatment can be life-saving. If cancer is not treated at all, symptoms tend to become worse and worse.
There are times when every cancer patient questions their commitment to the difficult journey of treatment and its side effects. Sometimes they can get discouraged by the uncertainty of treatment and wonder if it's worth it. This is normal. It may help to remember that every year cancer treatments get more and more effective, and doctors keep learning better ways to control treatment side effects.

YE wrote:I would get rid of the whole method. It's horribly designed. For one, you're passing it a String argument, to determine which type it will work on.
For example, how to simply the following method.
YE wrote:Fair enough, in many (if not most) use cases you wouldn't need to just check for a value in a database, there would be other work involved in the same transaction as well, that's why I asked.
1, It is a method of web services. Mobile applications only send String, int, long values to web services. Type means which selection is chosed from mobile users and I will use this type to find a table entity to save, delete, or update.
Yes, it's horribly designed. Please give me some recommendations and expamples.Well, for the simplest option, I would create 3 separate methods and decide which one to call on a higher level.
Please do not use examples such as animal class, cat class, shape class.Uh...okay.
YE wrote:Then you could create a method that maps incoming data to the table name. It can be as easy as converting "HOTEL" to "Hotel" (I hope you'll be able to do that by yourself), but the method could also allow other names.
I have more than 30 tables at this stage.
YE wrote:What do you mean? That's exactly the syntax.
1, How to defing List<?> for this method based on incomming data?
List<?> results = session.createQuery(hql).list();
2, If else clause is to much. Could you recommend some better way to reduse if-else clause?You could initialize a Map with the type as the key and the table name and id name as the value.
I don't know why you think you need an IdentityHashMap, but you don't. A normal HashMap will do.
IdentityHashMap<String,Object> mapIni = new IdentityHashMap<String,Object>();
You don't need the first of those at all, and the second one should be:
mapIni.put(new String("Hotel"), "Hotel"); mapIni.put(new String("Hotel"), "hotelid");
Don't waste space creating new Strings around string literals.
mapIni.put("Hotel", "hotelid");
It's a complete and utter waste of time iterating the Map when it already has a get() method. All you need is
for (Entry<String, Object> entry : mapIni.entrySet()) { if(entry.getKey().equalsIgnoreCase(type)){ String val = entry.getValue().toString();
and make sure you don't have wrong-cased versions of the types hanging around.
String val = mapIni.get(type);
class MyHashMap extends HashMap
public Object put(Object key, Object value)
return super.put(key, value);
return null;

Place is a dump – We had two rooms and both were bad. No pool, no bathtub, rude clerk that yelled every time she spoke. It was like no one knew what they were doing. I prepaid they did not believe even with confermation ID. I got out as soon as everything was cleared up because the room were not worth staying in even at that price. Hotel 8 is a 4 star compared to this place.
A modest motel close to movie studios and geared for budget-minded tourists. – The Scene
This two-story motel offers its guests a reasonably priced stay in Studio City, an up-and-coming enclave of shops, cafes and movie studios. If you're in town for entertainment business on the cheap, or are used to spending the majority of your holidays with a backpack on, this is the place for you.
The Details
Greeted by a friendly staff, guests appreciate the clean, contemporary guest rooms that feature modest seating on the verandah; all were renovated in 2003-04 and include hair dryers, fridges and microwaves. The motel's best asset is its crew, whose experience in helping tourists includes offering advice on how to avoid L.A.'s notorious traffic, recommending great beachcombing and Malibu hiking, or suggesting an inexpensive Italian dinner. The concierge can offer special discounted admission ticket to Universal Studios.
Ms. Kramer – Hotel is very well maintained, very attentive & helpful staff, extremely clean rooms with all of the needed amenities for it's class of properties. I had a great experience for what I paid for the room.

Our Head of School
Leah Summers is the Interim Head of School and Principal for the 2013-2014 school year
One of our central goals as a school is to ensure that GHA is a place that excites childrens' curiosity. It is a truism that we can never teach a student everything of value prior to graduation. What we can do, however, is instill in our students the desire to keep questioning. Our goal as educators should be to help our students develop a thirst for inquiry.
Education, of course, is about learning and knowing, but it is more than that. It should also be about the continual unfolding of one's ignorance. It is about confronting one's ignorance, being excited by it, and discovering the resources to make a dent in it. The role of the teacher, therefore, is to show students that questions are not necessarily a sign of ignorance but the engine that fuels discovery. Knowledge grows out of questions. In turn, knowledge generates new questions.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once paraphrased Socrates and said that the role of the teacher is to be the midwife to the birth of questions. That is the guiding light in my educational philosophy. A teacher's task is not to fill children's minds but to awaken children's minds. We all know that the deadliest classes are not the ones where students are not catching on. Ignorance is not the sign of a poor education. It is passive acceptance of truths, the belief that answers, not questions, count most, or the unfortunate notion that we know everything there is to know about a subject.
In a school where teachers challenge students, pique their curiosity, deepen their knowledge through questions, and foster a love of inquiry, such a school is filled with teachers that approach their own discipline of teaching in the same way. In other words, they, too, are continually evolving. They, too, are lifelong, voracious learners. They, too, are animated by good questions.
Excellent teachers never fall prey to the belief that they are good enough. They do not respond to new ideas with "I already do that." They reflect. They read about education. They seek out the best professional development opportunities. They deepen their content knowledge through ongoing inquiry and derive an abiding sense of happiness from following up on their questions.
Carol Ann Tomlinson, a professor of education at the University of Virginia, tells the story of an older gentleman that attended one of her teacher workshops. The man was deeply engaged in her presentation and at the break approached Professor Tomlinson to ask a question. In the course of the conversation, he happened to remark that he will be retiring soon after 40 years of teaching. Professor Tomlinson wondered what he was doing at the conference given his imminent retirement. The man responded, "I promised myself that I would learn something new everyday that I was a teacher. I've kept that promise for four decades and will do so until the day I close the classroom door behind me. How else could I have been the teacher my students needed!"
These are the teachers all students need. This is the culture of learning and teaching that we are creating at the Greenfield Hebrew Academy

When mothers left babies at London's Foundling Hospital in the mid-18th century, the Hospital often retained a small token as a means of identification, usually a piece of fabric. Each scrap of material reflects the life of a single infant and that of its absent parent. Organized by the Foundling Museum and curated by John Styles, this will be the only American venue for this exhibition opening May 25.

It's a new day for me as a broadcast freelancer, it really hit me yesterday as I sat and watched Oklahoma take batting practice in Norman. Soonervision has contracted me for 16 baseball and softball games this spring and I'm really excited for the opportunity, but I must admit it felt…different. While I have no plans to leave Wichita State (sorry viewers), I am trying to expand my play-by-play horizons. I've already done four events for the SEC and a couple for the Valley and I'm handling seven WSU baseball games and ten games in the Valley Baseball Tournament at the end of May. There's a chance---wait for it---that I could end up doing the Tulsa Shock in the WNBA this summer. My goal, since you asked, is to have a full schedule of events for the next school year starting in late August. Basketball will be my primary focus; it'll be interesting to see what I can come up with.
Coach vs. media---
Did you see the exchange between Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim and ESPN's Andy Katz after Wednesday's upset of the Orange by UConn? Boeheim called him names stemming from an interview that the two did over a year ago. The two have different memories of that interview, Boeheim claiming that he couldn't talk about allegations by two former ballboys that they had been molested by former 'Cuse assistant Bernie Fine. Katz claims that there were no agreement about Katz related questions. All of this sparked a couple of e-mails from viewers asking me if I've ever had a moment like that…not exactly, but close.
Remembering Mike Cohen---
At the end of Mike Cohen's tenure as Wichita State head coach, he was getting some support from fellow coaches around the Valley. Nobody was more vocal that Indiana State's Tates Locke, whose main claim to fame was hiring a young assistant named Bobby Knight when he was head coach at West Point. As you might guess, Locke was an irascible type, one who had no problems picking a fight. One night after his team had beaten the Shockers in Wichita he launched into the local media about the 'witch hunt' we were on for Cohen's job. It wasn't just a passing comment, but an angry reprimand that went on longer than it should. Finally, having had enough, I said—loud enough for him to hear; 'I'm sure you would like to see Mike Cohen continue (at Wichita State where he was). It got me a glare, but I was never banned from Terre Haute.
South African tragedy---
Olympic hero Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee dubbed the Blade Runner, has been charged with murdering his girlfriend in South Africa. Pistorius made history and fortune by becoming the first amputee track athlete to compete in the Olympics. He is alleged to have fired four shots into Reeva Steencamp around 3:00am yesterday at his house. Beyond the act, the most chilling part of this story is his Nike ad with the caption: "I am the bullet in the chamber". Creepy. It's been an interesting run for Nike what with recent controversies surrounding Kobe Bryant, Michael Vick, Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong.
Feeling the Heat---
Normally, you don't give much weight to a regular season game in the NBA, but Miami's demolition of Oklahoma City last night signals danger for the Thunder. Not only have the Heat swept the two-game season series, but they've won six straight in this matchup rivalry dating back to last spring's NBA Finals. If the Thunder do get back to the NBA Finals, how can they have any confidence against Miami?
