Mathematics Awareness Month, held each year in April, was created to increase public understanding of and appreciation for mathematics. Raytheon's MathMovesU® program does the same, inspiring students to create a new, lifelong relationship with math and science, one that opens up a world of career possibilities.
Raytheon believes tomorrow's innovators need to be excited by math and science education today since science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education will strengthen the competitive workforce and move the nation forward on the path to future economic growth and security.
This month, Raytheon will underscore the importance of math by highlighting its MathMovesU fan page on Facebook, teacher scholarship programs, National Volunteer Week and support of math challenges.
New MathMovesU Timeline on Facebook
Established in 2005, Raytheon's MathMovesU program has inspired students to see math and science in a whole new light. The initiative focuses on ensuring the future of a healthy STEM workforce. MathMoves U has touched the lives of more than 3 million students, teachers and parents. See how MathMovesU has provided students of all ages with unique experiences that educate as they inspire, enlighten and entertain through the years.
Teacher Scholarship Programs
Math Heroes Program
As part of the MathMovesU Grants and Scholarships program, Raytheon selects 32 teachers from across the country as part of its MathMovesU Math Hero Awards program for engaging students in math through interactive and creative learning initiatives. Each winner will receive a $2,500 award and a matching grant for his or her school. Nominate a special Math Hero by May 18.
Raytheon-EiE Teacher Scholarship Program
Elementary teachers and science specialists are eligible to receive a $3,000 scholarship to attend an Engineering is Elementary® (EiE) Professional Development workshop created by the Museum of Science, Boston. This program is intended to encourage the inclusion of engineering and technology education in elementary classrooms by providing access to Engineering is Elementary workshops and materials. Winners will be announced this month.
National Volunteer Week
Raytheon celebrates employee volunteers; during National Volunteer Week and every week we honor people who dedicate themselves to active community engagement through a variety of local and national outreach efforts. Raytheon encourages volunteering because it supports our commitment to corporate responsibility. Raytheon employees across the world volunteer thousands of hours in their communities. Raytheon's community involvement revolves around STEM, support for the armed services and local outreach.
Math Challenges
FIRST Robotics
Raytheon-sponsored teams are competing in the FIRST Robotics Championship April 25-28, at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Mo. The event challenges students to design and build their own robots from a standard kit of parts. The competition and Raytheon's support of the program are intended to inspire students to pursue education and career paths in STEM disciplines. Raytheon engineers mentor and coach students on those teams to design and build their robots in just six weeks to compete in local and regional competitions.
In addition, Raytheon will award $1,000 scholarships to 40 Raytheon-sponsored team members who plan to pursue college degrees in STEM.
Raytheon will host the nation's top 224 middle school math minds as the title sponsor of the 2012 Raytheon MATHCOUNTS® National Competition May 10-12 in Orlando, Fla. The MATHCOUNTS finalists from across the United States will compete to earn the titles of 2012 National Champion and National Champion Team.
The event will be available live via webcast Friday, May 11, at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the MATHCOUNTS website. Students will have the opportunity to watch and play along with the nation's top middle school Mathletes®.

A popular Macon eatery became a crime scene late Friday when an assistant manager was shot during a holdup at the S&S Cafeteria on Riverside Drive.
Three masked suspects wearing all black entered the restaurant at about 10 p.m., after it had closed, according to a police department release. The manager was shot and the suspects fled the scene.
The suspects are believed to have been driving what was described only as a black four-door vehicle. The manager was taken to a local hospital and treated, the release stated.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at 751-7500 or Crimestoppers at 1-877-68-CRIME. No patrons were in the building at the time.
The restaurant near the juncture of Pierce Avenue was open for business Saturday.

The Charlottesville Police Department is in need of a new K-9 dog to use in investigations. The department used to have two K-9s, but one has retired.
The private funding arm of the department - the Charlottesville Police Foundation - says it's only one-third of the way to the goal. The foundation wants to raise $12,000. That money will pay for the animal and training for both the dog and its officer companion.
"But the other side of it too is it is a working partner with that officer at all times when he or she are in the field and it's just another tool that we have to get the job done and do the best for our community," said Lt. Ronnie Roberts of the Charlottesville Police Department.
Police use a K-9 to track suspects, drugs and evidence. They're used for crowd control and to search for missing people.

Pet Health
Pet Health Insurance Quote
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance helps provide peace of mind in case the unfortunate should happen. Its purpose is to help cover the costs of unexpected accidents and illnesses that may occur in the future. Unfortunately, it will not cover any current conditions your pet may have which are known as pre-existing conditions. This means that the ideal time to insure your pet is as early as possible so that anything that happens in the future will be covered.
Why get health insurance for dogs and cats?
Pet insurance is for those who want to provide their pet the best medical care possible with less worry about cost. When your insured pet becomes sick or injured, you take him to the veterinary hospital for treatment. You then submit your invoice along with the pet health insurance claim form to be reimbursed at a percentage, less your chosen deductible. It helps provide financial peace of mind and can help pet owners with the difficult decision of treatment vs. 'economic' euthanasia.
How do I get pet insurance?
You can sign up your pet(s) by simply filling out the quote form and selecting your custom deductible to decide on the right premium for you. If you prefer, you can also enroll over the phone by calling 888-733-2685.
Full coverage will become effective after the waiting periods have passed. Our waiting periods are 5 days for accidents and 30 days for illnesses which begin retroactively at midnight on the day you sign up. Once these periods have passed, your coverage is in full effect should an accident or illness occur.
Learn more about Trupanion on the Policy Overview page. Find out what is covered in our pet health insurance FAQ section.

Ive a got a problem .Ive been lifting for 6 months, and put on just under 30 pounds which im happy with and kept my b/f low.Ive noticed my legs and upperbody have increased big time.But my waist liturally looks the same as when I started.Someone said ive got endomorph legs, mesomorph upper body , and ectomorph waist(he was joking by the way but thats what it looks like).I want to be solid overall as i want to start playing rugby.
Im currently doing side raises, cable crunches and decline crunches.I dont know what else to do.I also do the compound lifts deadlifts and squats.Why cant I bulk my flippin waist, is it my genetics?
Good Mornings maybe? Personally I've never done them but they work the lower back hard I've read.
maybe your training waist not enough or to much
their might be a problem in your routine, try heavy rack pulls once and a while, insteed of the deadlifts
Under fullmoons waxing lyrically
Death's poetry floods the soul
Like the recking weed of a demon freed
To curse the star with vertigo
And in their dance, in trance I prise wide
Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs
Hymeneal gates to other sides
A labyrinth wherein Midian hides
Don't worry about your waist. A narrow waist will make everything else look bigger.
YOu'll be glad your not putting on too much waist weight as you continue to bulk.
My brother and I were brutal. I once chased him around the house with a spoon that I put on the burner. I burned that little pricks leg. -sharkall2003
Then I saw a little african boy sleeping, and I thought...that is little Okeke. he is tired from herding all the goats and the big goat got away today - Rock
Wow..someone complaing about a skinny waist. I hate you.
Do squats and deads w/o a belt. Also, lift heavy on abs day...and the usual eat more.
Burritos are the bomb for bulking!
My Food Journal
Deadlift: PR 1@440, Goal 1@450
Squat: PR 1@375, Goal 1@400
Bench: PR 2@275, Goal 1@300
this is funny... small wasite = a good thing.. but if you really wanna know how to get your waist bigger.. i suggest you go eat 10 000 cals a day :P You should see a nice waist in a few months
what do you need a big weist for?
i play ice/roller hockey and i have a 29 waist. the size of the weist wont help you take the hits if thats what your worried about. keep working your core hard and you'll be fine.
BTW if your going to start playing rugby work on plyometrics drills.
good luck

Does the Canvas class support layering or Depth?
For instance, if I draw a Box on the canvas and then overlap it with a Circle partially, is it possible to get the original box back, or is the overlapping Area overwritten by the Circle?
Are there any third party UI libraries that support layering?

First of all, let me say this is a pretty good little series. It's really nice that they got the story editor from the original movie series to help develop the story. It really showed, because the story and scenarios are nothing short of spectacular. However, here comes the first major issue - the game is simply not funny. There are so few comedic moments that it really baffledread more me - Sam and Max, also developed by Telltale, was so gut-bustingly hilarious thaht it made me think BTTF would be the same, but alas it doesn't even come close. In any case, the characters look nice and the settings and scenarios are decent, if a bit rehashed. My biggest beef with the game is the gameplay. There are "puzzles" but they are so unchallenging and dull at times that it really disappointed me. Some puzzles consist of just some dialogue options, and others consisted of just doing one action of giving something to someone else, and the game just moves forward so far in the story as if you accomplished something major. I didn't feel that at all. The inventory system is also a bit clunky, requiring you to have to scroll each time you open it, and with no inventory combinations I felt the game really missed something big there. It was so difficult to just test items on other items in the environment because it took forever to open the inventory.
In any case, I close by saying adventure game fans will probably find it a bit lacking but casual gamers should enjoy the great story and visuals.

Once again Telltale produces another great point and click adventure game this time Back to the Future. Starring Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown and Claudia Wells coming back as Jennifer along with Micheal J. Fox , unfortunately not playing Marty (though his voice actor sounds extremely close to Micheal's portrayal). At an estate sale of Doc Brown's old lab/home Marty finds theread more DeLorean outside with a mysterious shoe and a taped message from Doc inside and must find out what happened to Doc Brown.
The game plays like any other point 'n click and the storyline and general feel is reminiscent of the original. Of course having Bob Gale who worked on the original films with Zemeckis certainly helps. If you're a fan of the series or Telltale games in general pick this up.

Delivers on every level. Highly recommended.
I'm up to the third episode and I've enjoyed every second so far. I was (and am) a big fan of the movies, and the fact this picks up where BTTF3 left off it magic. Ignore the reviews griping about the graphics - they do the job just fine, and games should be about FUN, not eye-candy.

JD: The whole trick with Aaron is to get ahead of him. You can't be playing catch-up. The dialogue is so intricate and musical, just like a play. Once you start working on a play, there's a music to it. The great writers all write with a rhythm — all the way back to Shakespeare. Mamet certainly does. Lanford [Wilson] did. And Aaron is the same way. That's why you memorize every single word, because there's a rhythm to it. Then with Sorkin, because you're going at what seems like a hundred miles an hour, you don't have time to kind of pause and stutter your way through a line as you try to remember it. You've got to know it so well that you can get on top of it and dance on top of it — so that you can give different inflections, different speeds, add different spins on it. You do it a whole bunch of ways, so that they have some options in the editing room. But you can't give them options if you don't know it. Let me say this: I brought my golf clubs to California, and they never left the apartment. You spend the weekend sleeping and memorizing. A long answer, but it gets to what theatre people all know, which is getting the dialogue cemented in your head, so it feels like the 100th performance of a play. That's a whole different settling in — when you know it, you own it, you don't worry about it.
|photo by Melissa Moseley
There's not only a lyrical and musical quality to Sorkin's writing, but he also references lots of musicals in the show itself! Sorkin got a BFA in musical theatre from Syracuse University. And he recently told a reporter, "Every time I turn in a script, [producer] Scott Rudin writes across the top, 'Your degree, finally at work!'"
JD: Yeah. I don't think an episode goes by without a reference to some Broadway musical or musical theatre. We're kind of always going, "Oh, here's another one!" We cover quite a few of them in the course of the first season: Brigadoon, Camelot, Oklahoma!, Man of La Mancha, Annie Get Your Gun.
At first, Will comes across as a pompous, irascible jerk. But we start to see the cracks in the facade and glimpses of a more vulnerable and self-loathing side to him. How will the character change over the course of the season?
JD: Well, they will see him try. The trick to playing an unlikable character is, you know, don't try to make him likable. But just maybe if you're lucky, the audience will understand what he's going through. Sometimes that takes time. I think over the course of the series, he still is who he is. He still feels betrayed and feels that way deeply, and MacKenzie is the cause. A lot of his friends are on the other side of that camera, and that's a lonely place to be when those are your friends. And MacKenzie is a woman who he is still madly in love with, and at the same time he hates her guts, because of what she did. He got hurt. And he tries to find a way to make it okay, to forgive her, to get over his own anger and issues, so that he can work with her and maybe even be with her again. That struggle is a lot of what this first season is about — for both of them. There's been so much damage done to the point that there is no going back. Yet here they are, thrown together in a work situation. That's what Sorkin does. He creates this impossible situation. Despite everything that's happened between them, they now have to work together every day.

Coffee bar finds home in Mercer lobby
January 27, 2010
Mercer Hall's main lobby now has the appearance – and aroma – of a cafe, complete with pastries and a variety of drinks from a coffee kiosk.
Students wait at the coffee kiosk while their drinks are prepared.
"The lobby is not the main entrance to Mercer except for those of us who know our way around campus," he said. "Visitors use the door from the parking lot. Otherwise, the lobby was a pass-through area. It is one of the most-trafficked places on campus, but there was no reason to stop."
With that in mind, the receptionist's desk was moved to the first-floor entrance area, a kiosk was installed near the doors to the Triangle, a storage area was constructed, and both café seating and sofas were installed in the area.
"That has changed the dynamics of the space," Mr. Sapienza said. "It makes the lobby a more inviting place to stop."
Mercer Hall's "main lobby" now is an inviting space for
the college family to gather and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Already students have learned that they can grab an inexpensive cup of coffee and a pastry on their way to or from class, beginning at 7:30 a.m., or pay a little more for a cappuccino or latte. The kiosk is open until 4:30 p.m. and may be opened later for special events if arrangements are made with Pioneer College Caterers, Bryan's food service vendor and kiosk operator.
The relationship with Pioneer also offers students the opportunity to post payment to their ID card and pay for drinks with a swipe through the card reader.
Mr. Sapienza said a contest is under way for students to suggest names for the new area, with the final selection to be made by the administration.*
"We can already see students getting together and working here," Mr. Sapienza said. "It is already successful in that regard. But we'll define things better as we work through the early days."
- 2.15.10: Alaina Woodall & Amanda Young won the kiosk naming contest for their winning entry, COMMON GROUNDS.
- Fall 2011: Common Grounds became an official Starbucks Coffee venue.

HUGE typo in the cost for new facilities. It is not $500,000. It is $500,000,000
Not surprising Grant being the cheerleader and commending staff for figuring out how to spend $500 million. How many more decades do we have in paying off the current bonds and they are already looking on re-doing all of the facilities? I give the district an F in doing a reality check. The people interviewed for the facilities were told to dream and not even think about the costs. Don't you wish you could do that at home? Every 15-20 years completely tear down your house and start over, and have somebody else pay for it?

Seriously, just a question on how the numbers are created. I have no other motive. thanks

Playing a 2-8 team at home is usually a recipe for a pretty big spread, so we probably shouldn't be all that surprised that the Atlanta Falcons (6-4) are anywhere from a 9.5- to 11-point favorite at home against the Minnesota Vikings. Going with the favorite might not be such a hot idea, though.
Neither of these teams have been particularly good against the spread (both are 4-5-1), with the Vikings going 2-3-1 on the road ATS and the Falcons going 2-2 at home ATS. It's not much better when looking at the over/under which is right around 44.5 right now. Neither team has predictably hit the over with both doing it about half the time.
This is all just a long way of saying you might want to stay away from this game if you are planning on putting real money on it. Assuming you read this space just for fun, though, we may as well give you some advice.
With Christian Ponder at quarterback and Adrian Peterson out, it's hard to see how the Vikings can really be competitive in this game. The Falcons might not be world-beaters, but if I have to live and die with one of these teams I'd be hard-pressed not to go with them.

CFB Compu-Picks Ratings, Week Twelve
... 8) The following teams are ranked materially higher by the model than the BCS: Boise St, Stanford, Alabama, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Arizona, USC, Oregon St (compu-picks had NC St ranked last week, but now that the BCS also has them ranked the difference is no longer material). Putting aside Virginia Tech for now (as noted in previous weeks' notes, this difference is partially due to not counting AA games... though 16th is probably too low for how well they're playing right now), let's look at the other teams. Boise, Stanford and Alabama have been talked about above, so I won't go into them again. Virginia Tech is an interesting case. Part of this difference is that the model doesn't count AA games (which means that the JMU loss doesn't count against them here), but just as important is the fact that they've gone on a tear through the ACC, 7-0 and extremely likely to make it 8-0 as a heavy favorite against Virginia this coming weekend. Compu-picks may have them too high (although to be honest I'm not sure), but the BCS has them too low. Nebraska just dropped seven spots (#8 to #15) for a very close road loss to a top 20 Texas A&M team. You know how many spots compu-picks dropped them? Zero. Yes, last week they were basically tied with #8 (Ohio St) and now they're basically tied with #10 (Arkansas), and their rating did go down a bit (0.60 to 0.58), but they really didn't move much of anything. It might have been reasonable for the system to drop them a spot or two, but the fact that an extremely respectable road loss could drop them like a rock in the BCS rankings is an indictment of the BCS far more than their rating holding steady is an indictment of compu-picks. If ever you wanted a good example of the fact that the BCS actively punishes tough schedules, there you go. Winning that game would have maybe bumped them a spot, while losing that game killed them. And you wonder why some teams (and some leagues for that matter) schedule the most cupcake-laden non-conference slates they can get away with? Arizona is the same type of story as most other teams that compu-picks thinks is underrated: very tough schedule, tendency towards blowout wins and close losses (except at Stanford). Despite what the BCS thinks, there simply aren't 20 teams out there better than the Arizona Wildcats. USC isn't eligible to be ranked by the BCS. If they were eligible, they'd very possibly be ranked. Four losses is never fun, but they've had a tough schedule, they've beaten a top 25 Arizona team and a nearly top 25 Hawaii team, both on the road, and two of their losses have come to elite Oregon and Stanford teams (the Stanford loss was a nail-biter as well). You can kill them and kill them, but they still come back. Oregon St returns to the compu-picks top 25 after a dominant thrashing of USC, right on the heels of an ugly loss to Wazzu. Presuming they lose to Stanford and Oregon, they're going to be one of the best ever 5-7 teams. They will have played each of the top four rated teams by compu-picks, three of which were on the road, which means that they'd be 5-3 against everyone other than the national elites. Of those other three losses, one was by one point in overtime, one was by three points in regulation, and the third was the ugly 17-point loss. Meanwhile they've also logged a pair of dominant wins, 35-7 and 36-7, though the other three wins were all close. Ultimately, this team is MUCH better than their 5-5 record shows. However, if they don't make a bowl game it's ultimately their own fault. The current college football structure rewards weak schedules and punishes hard ones, and by scheduling a far too aggressive non-conference slate (TCU and Boise were both expected to be top 15 at the least, and they were both road games to boot), they put themselves in a position where they could fail. And that's what's happened to them this year. If they'd ditched one of the Boise/TCU games and instead scheduled a home game against, say, Buffalo, or Middle Tennessee St, or Marshall, they'd be already at six wins and heading to a bowl. They scheduled like they were an elite program, able to navigate all the landmines without being vulnerable to injuries and/or bad luck in close games, and barring an upset against Stanford or Oregon, they're going to end up home for holidays because they couldn't overcome injuries and bad luck in close games.

PEORIA, Ill -- Thursday marks the 37th annual Great American Smoke Out, a day when smokers are asked to put out their cigarettes for good.
A spokesperson for the local American Cancer Society says with more states enacting anti-smoking laws and increases in cigarette taxes fewer people are lighting up compared to a decade ago.
"We know that if we can increase taxes at a dollar a pack on an incremental basis that's going to not only cause people to quit smoking but it's also gonna have a direct impact on our youth smoking," said Trent Newman. "So, our youth will not start smoking because they can't afford to do it."
Twenty-seven states currently have comprehensive smoke free laws.

After two successful albums, the trend continues with Kreator's newest release Hordes Of Chaos. Rather than rely on Andy Sneap (who helmed their last two albums, as well as a few live releases), the album was produced by Moses Schneider (Beatsteaks, and Tocotronic), and mixed by Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Trivium, Overkill). The entire album was recorded live on a 4-track analog tape recorder for a totally organic sound. This may be a turn-off for those who prefer the clarity of Violent Revolution and Enemy Of God, but they used the same techniques when they recorded Pleasure To Kill in 1986. The results pretty much speak for themselves. It's raw, energetic, and pissed off. If you're new to Kreator, this isn't a bad album to start with. Also check out Violent Revolution, Enemy Of God, and Coma Of Souls.
Kreator Biography - Kreator Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Take cover! German thrash legends Kreator have returned with a true thrash metal masterpiece, Hordes of Chaos. Destined to further the incredible success they found on Enemy of God , the new album is 38 minutes of pure thrash, delivered as only the masters can. This special Hordes Of Chaos Ltd. Ed. version comes packaged with a bonus DVD, featuring a making of , exclusive live tracks and videoclip. With a six-week North American tour booked for the spring of 2009 (with the mighty Exodus in support!), the table is set for full-scale domination in 2009!

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This album truly is a triumphant return for these German thrashers, Mille and the boys have been releasing very high quality European melodic thrash metal with absolutely no signs of slowing down. That's nearly 25years of playing extreme no nonsense thrash-metal. Mille still sounds as pissed as a drunken hornet, and Hordes of Chaos is testament to exactly that. Hordes of Chaos represents what I'd call a seamless connection between the more melodic Kreator of this decade and the raw as hell Kreator of the 80's and some from the early 90's. The key is the way this awesome record was produced, this time around the boys used a producer (Moses Schneider) who had the band simply play the songs live in the studio as the foundation for the recording, giving Hordes of Chaos a very live and personal feel to the songs. What Millie said about the new album was that it was a 100% realistic reflection of Kreator's live qualities, and I must say that I totally agree with every single word he's said he's a very wise dude . It works really, really well I mean thrash is supposed to be dirty, raw and unforgiving and not sound wussy and this album from start to finish will rip your face off with it's raw aggression. But it's obviously not just the production that's amazing, Kreator has gotten back to the basics this time around and the songs are short, mean and mostly stripped of unneeded bells-and-whistles. As I mentioned earlier the melodic side of Kreator is certainly still there especially with songs like To the Afterborn, Demon Prince and portions of the title track, but the bursts are mostly shorter and certainly don't stand in the way of the immensely vitriolic feel of the record.
The album is a mix of the old with some modern production work which has a live feel to the songs which brings out the best from them especially on Hordes of Chaos and my favorite Warcurse which is hurtled along at such speed by the great vocals of Millie Petrozza, it feels as if you were falling down a bottomless pit without even time to catch some breath!. This album is in a class of its own which shows why they are part of the infamous German thrash trio of SODOM and DESTRUCTION since there are other songs apart from just the two to enjoy banging your head to especially on the pounding Radical Resistance and Absolute Misanthropy and To The Afterborn whilst a short instrumental, leads into a riff frontal assault on Demon Prince. This is the most aggressive and catchy album Kreator have ever released since Extreme Aggression, at least for this reviewer. Hordes of Chaos is an absolute must-buy for Kreator fans and thrash fans alike, if your a Kreator fan then you should get this immediately, no questions asked!.
If you're reading this, you're a Kreator fan. If you're a Kreator fan you most likely enjoyed their last release "Enemy of God" and classics like "Coma of Souls" and "Terrible Certainty." If you like those, you'll like "Hordes of Chaos."
This is traditional thrash metal, from a band that was there in the beginning. The fact that this CD was recorded as a band, and not one track at a time comes through as a more raw, powerful sound.
Mille's voice is the same and the riffs are all killer.
As for the DVD, it's pretty cool. Nothing ground-breaking, but it gives you a snippet (the "making of…" DVD is about 20 minutes long) of what the band is like behind the music. The end of the DVD is, however, the coolest…. but that's cause an internet posting I made on [..]about the band is shown. How sweet is that!
Again, if you like Kreator…. buy this!
It is well recorded, and was recorded more or less 'Live' as portrayed in the DVD, with all the musicians playing the base of the songs together. It isn't nearly as crisp and clear as 'Enemy of God'. But it works. It sounds a little looser and I will say the riffs are nothing new, but very well executed. I love this bands sound, especially in the 'Extreme Aggression' , 'Coma of Souls' era. Therefore, the sound on this disc is to my liking as well as the flow of the disc. Has a good punch.
The tracks themselves line up well with 'Enemy of God'.. If you like Kreator overall you will like this CD. Nothing you haven't come to expect. The best tracks are 'War Curse' and 'Absolute Misanthropy'. Contagious riffs. 'Escalation' is very catchy, great riffing. Just a killer track as well. 'Destroy what Destroys You' is the most accessible song on here, but it is excellent nonetheless. The others fit with the rest of Kreator's catalog. Nothing brand new, They stay in their comfort zone. Mid paced thrash with a solid foundation. Though they do thrash it up in spots pretty hard. Almost (very) Slayer-esque in the Guitar Solo's and vocal delivery. especially on 'Destroy…' The 3-4 minute length of most songs makes them even more lethal. Not much room for the over-melodic stuff.
The reason for the 4 stars? The vocal! Very raw and at times annoying. Mille really gets to the bottom of his gut on this CD. I like it for the most part, but sometimes it just hits those notes that make you shriek! Uncomfortable almost. Sounds like he went for the 'Tom Araya' style with the yelling choruses. I will say I am curious as to why he opted to take this tone throughout 80% of this disc. Makes for a more difficult listen.
But I am a seasoned Kreator fan and other than the vocal, its an A+.
There is a lot of energy. The DVD is decent as well. Shows behind the scenes of the making of this CD. Just a bit tough to keep track of the subtitles! A great value for the price.. Don't pass it up.
I've been following Kreator ever since Terrible Certainty and have always been seduced by the passion Mille Petrozza and his cohorts have put across in each release. Mille – like Machine Head's Rob Flynn – is first and foremost a metal fan as well as a musician. He lives, breathes, sleeps and eats metal. This release is full of the usual conviction and intensity but also has more 'hooks' or catchy melodies than its predecessor Enemy of God. This is no Opeth or Agalloch. Progressive is not a common word in Kreator circles, although the terrific Outcast and Endorama albums show that Kreator can dabble in the subtle and melancholic if it chooses to. But this release absolutely smacks of freshness and virtuosity and will make you want to bounce off walls when you hear it. Well it does for me and I'm a 38 year old father of two. So there. This is probably their strongest album since Extreme Agression and for those of you enjoying the current thrash revival, this will remind you what we've been missing all these years.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) -- The Bosnia-Herzegovina football federation has replaced its three-member leadership with a single president in order to comply with FIFA demands.
The federation's general assembly on Thursday elected Elvedin Begic to be the first single president of the body since it became a FIFA member in 1996. Like Bosnian politics, its football leadership has been ethnically split between a Bosniak, a Croat and a Serb since a war in the former Yugoslav republic ended in 1995.
Such a setup was unacceptable for FIFA and UEFA, which briefly kicked the country out of international competitions for two months last year until a "normalization" team was appointed to work on the necessary changes.
Bosnia currently tops its group in World Cup qualifying.

Some three months after exec producer John Coveny said on Twitter that Longmire would be back for Season 3, A&E has officially renewed the Robert Taylor-fronted drama for another 10-episode run.
"Longmire has become one of the most compelling dramas on television with a devoted audience and we are so proud of the show," A&E GM David McKillop said in announcing the pick-up. "We are thrilled to continue our wonderful partnership with Warner Horizon Television, the production team, and the talented cast and crew led by the exceptional Robert Taylor."
Having averaged 3.7 million total viewers during Season 2 (climaxing with a season high of 4.4 mil in its August finale), Longmire stands as A&E's most-watched original drama series of all time.
Longmire Season 3 should premiere sometime in summer 2014.

Mixed Vegetable Lasagna
Lasagna has a timeless appeal, and is always such a hit, whether you make it for your family or take it to gatherings. It almost goes without saying that you can vary the vegetables you use here—eggplant, broccoli, and chard are all good substitutions. Any vegetables used should be lightly steamed or sautéed first. Because I'm lazy, I use no-boil lasagna noodles, which makes the whole enterprise a snap.
Makes 12 squares
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 8 to 10 ounces white, crimini, or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 5 to 6 ounces baby spinach
- 12.3-ounce package firm or extra-firm silken tofu
- One recipe Classic Marinara Sauce or
one 28-ounce jar good-quality marinara sauce
plus one 15- to 16-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- Two 12.3-ounce no-boil lasagna noodles (see Note)
- 8 ounces grated vegan mozzarella cheese
(Daiya works really well!)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms in a skillet or stir-fry pan. Add a little water to the pan, cover, and steam over medium heat until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the spinach, a little at a time, and cook until each batch is just wilted. Drain the vegetables well and set aside, uncovered.
In a mixing bowl, mash the silken tofu well.
Have the sauce ready, either by making the marinara ahead of time, or whisking the jarred marinara sauce with the crushed tomatoes in a bowl.
Spread just enough sauce to coat the bottom of a shallow 9- by 13-inch casserole dish. Arrange one layer of lasagne noodles (4 to 5 noodles, you might need to break one up to fill in odd spaces) to cover the bottom of the pan.
Spread about 1/3 of the sauce over the noodles, followed by the tofu, spread here and there, then half of the cheese, sprinkled evenly. Follow with another layer of noodles, another 1/3 of the sauce, then an even layer of all of the vegetable mixture.
Top the veggies with another layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and the remaining cheese. Don't worry if you get these layers out of order, so long as you end with noodles, sauce, and cheese on top. It will taste the same no matter what order you put things in, and it will taste good.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the noodles are tender (test them by piercing all the layers with a fork). Remove from the oven, let the lasagne stand for 5 minutes, then cut into 12 squares to serve.
Note: Be aware that some no-boil lasagna noodles contain egg. I use De Cecco, which, though not specifically no-boil, can be used uncooked in lasagna and work just fine.

This week, I'd like to put a call out to all of the veteran cancer survivors who are reading and participating on the blog. One of the primary goals for the blog is to support and reassure each other on this journey.
My question to you is this: "What do you know today that you wish you'd known in the beginning as a new cancer survivor?"
We frequently partner mentors with newly diagnosed cancer patients in person. I thought it would be interesting to try virtual mentoring through this discussion.
If you're interested in posting your pearls of wisdom for other survivors, keep a few things in mind as you write your comments.
In the first year after diagnosis:
Everyone's experience is unique — however, it can be a great comfort to hear from others who've already been down the path yet to come. Please share your words of support and wisdom.

Not without reoccurrence, but still totally functional and alive. About to pursue my 3rd reoccurrence after a low 7 CA125 count, but fight I will. Any other ovarian survivors out there? We need your support, too.
As someone who is now over 18 years down the track since diagnosis and treatment, hindsight is a wonderful thing. The survivorship phase can be dangerous because people start to focus on what just happened, and can often can find the decreased interaction with professionals and friends (because they think you're ok now) can be quite confronting. My biggest tip would be to ask for help when you need it - that's nowhere near as hard as not asking for help. And also realise, your second chance is what you make it. If you don't go after what you really want, then it's your fault. I have gone on to do some wonderful things since, like establishing a travel blog that has presented some oppportunities to me I never thought would happen (see http://www.thetraveltart.com). My passion is travelling, and I've visited over 50 countries on 6 continents so far and I'm not stopping!
Shortly after my diagnosis, a close relative asked me how did I get my breast cancer...like it was possible to purchase cancer. After picking myself off the floor and not laughing over the phone, I realized she was serious and not trying to be rude. I knew I had to educate myself and help educate my immediate family.
My weekly support group made a difference for me. My new cancer experienced friends gave me tips, support, and love. I attended two meetings before my surgery and was able to not miss the next meeting...my 3rd.
I'm cancer free for 4years! If I have another bout of cancer, I have a support system in place: my husband, family and friends!
My most difficult experience was the first meeting to outline treatment and medications for multiple myeloma. It was a shock of reality and it all seemed so complicated and overwhelming. After being diagnosed, I thought about friends who had severe health problems, and I felt glad I didn't have to cope with their problems; afterall, I only had cancer and it was treatable. It kept me positive to view it as a learning experience. I learned from other patients how they were treating, one traditionally and another non-traditionally and it helped me decide what course I wanted to follow and to take charge of my own treatment with the oncologists help. I have learned not to get discouraged if I can't do as much as I did before teatment but to be content to accomplish one task a day if that is all I can do. After 3 years of treatment, I took a break in February while being regularly monitored to see if and when I may need to resume chemo. Each month in remission is a blessing.
This has certainly turned out to be a hot topic. I re read Sheryl's questions and would like to comment on the last one. The most difficult experience. Well, there was many but the one that stands in my mind is my appearance. I found that people wee staring at me in the brest area. I also hid myself from spouse and always wore a camisole. TI still have difficulty but it is better. One day when with a bunch of lady friends I had a over blouse on over my t shirt. While standing in a group I just opened the blouse and announced here is my new look. Lots of laughter and no more curious stares My mastectomy bras are uncomfortable so I just do not wear it unless going out for special occasions. I wear floppy sweatshirts and /or a nice blouse or jacket over my blouse or polo.
Well said Kate...........and great advice. My Dr. has always insisted that nothing he gave me would cause CHEMO BRAIN. Besides that one irritating response, I really like him and, thru lots of research reading, see that he is on the cutting edge of cancer treatments. My other doctors have no response when I tell them of my symptoms either. Can't afford to go to specialists, so I deal with it, knowing I'm not as sharp as I used to be.......find something you enjoy and just DO IT!
Hello and thanks to all who shared. Maureen, I soooo hear what you are saying. The aftermath is worse than the cancer in many ways. I'm 5 yrs out, and yes, grateful to have survived, yet missing dear friends who didn't. I'm thankful for my many good doctors and shocked at how terrible some practitioners can be. Surprised at the support of strangers and hurt by how insensitive, even insulting, family members were when I was in treatment. Some cannot handle a crisis, so rely on others. It's not all or nothing, they want to think you beat it, so you're fine. Just not so. And CHEMOBRAIN SUCKS! Three years after being pooh-poohed and overruled by my oncologist I'm finally getting genetic testing, a lymphadema eval, and the right meds. And a neurologist addressing the brain issues. In other words, good follow-up care, which was sorely lacking. Thanks to my new oncologist. We deserve better care, and to be taken seriously. With Chemobrain, it is sometimes hard to communicate effectively, but don't let them speak for you or silence you. You know your own story, you are allowed to tell it, even if not perfect or the typical textbk story. Don't give up, don't give in, fire those who need to go away, whether a smarmy Dr. or a lousy friend. Music, sunlight, and exercise were and are my lifeline. Find one thing that brings you joy, and indulge! Only you can know what that is, and don't let anyone talk you out of it. You deserve it.
Hi to all posters.
I have learned a lot from your stories. My son developed a large sarcoma tumour in the middle of his back last year. It took months to diagnose. It was hard to get GPs to accept that this might be something else beside a cyst, until the thing was the size of a grapefruit. Curious as it may seem the best way (in the Canadian health system) to get diagnosed was to go through Emergency Centers at hospitals. Yes, you have to wait hours, even days.
Another irony in our son's case was that we learned more from another cancer survivor than from a series of surgeons, plastic surgeons and nurses. One point was that radiation sensitizes the skin and puts you at greater risk of reactions to things like long-term bandaging, strong sunlight and certain food items such as ginger, bamboo shoots, and sticky rice. Our son had a massive skin reaction a month ago with swelling and excessive itching, threatening the wound itself and the whole healing process (going into sixth month now). With comparative information from the other survivor, we can see that the reaction was probably a combination of these negative factors. Now the skin has cleared up and healing continues, though slowly.
We received great help from someone who has been through it all before.
Maureen, I just re-read your comments, and I'd like to suggest something that has made a TREMENDOUS difference in my outlook....talk with your doctor about taking anti depressants. The LAST thing I wanted to do after all the chemo poison was pumped into me was to take even more drugs. But what a difference, they allow me to be "myself" once again, and to enjoy life, and allows people to "enjoy" me. I can accept the "new normal". No, they are not "happy pills" (as many of my friends say), they are a crutch that, as a cancer SURVIVOR, I am not afraid to admit helps me. Cancer sucks.......Chemo sucks......my doctor says my cancer will probably come back at some time, THAT sucks. For the time being, I want to feel as "normal" as I can.
Maureen, I think I can say I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. 30 years ago (yes, I am a longtime survivor) I had the same treatments that you recently went thru. I never asked what stage I was, but my lymph nodes were involved. Yes, the Adriamyacin screwed up my heart but the cardiologist says that the drug regimen I'm on is working out well.Please know that you are at a higher risk for ovarian cancer, I didn't know this. At the same time you were going thru treatment for stage 4 breast cancer, I was going thru chemo and surgery and more chemo for stage 4 ovarian cancer. I also had the tingling in my hands, made it almost impossible to do any keyboarding. Now, 4 years later, I only have tingling occasionally. During treatment, my dr. offered medication for the tingling, but I told him I didn't want to take any MORE drugs. I don't know what to tell you about the chemo brain, I still have problems with remembering...and forget multitasking (I thought I had invented that, too) I forget what I'm doing in the middle of doing it. My coping so I don't feel so stupid is to read a lot....I read every type of book the library has, I feel like maybe I am exercising my brain in a way I enjoy. I really hate to sound like everything you have already heard about recovering from chemo, surgery and radiation treatments....but it DOES TAKE TIME. I am very impatient and didn't think I HAD the time for things to get better....but I did...and they did...keep talking to others, it helps.
Maureen I was very moved by your situation. I am also a with stage 4 breast cancer this time but I have not experienced the things you have. The ordinary things like fatigue, nausea and feelings of when and how are there along with not sleeping well but I try to sing to myself or get the thought out of my mind anyway I can. Just wanted to tell you to hang in there and sometimes for me it is day by day and even hour by hour. My feet are starting to tingle a little but I will bring it up with my oncologist and perhaps that is a side effect but not a serious one. I am not sure. I do believe the weather has a lot to do with the way my body reacts, particularly heat and humidity. God Bless.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in March 2009, had a double radical mastectomy all my nodes in the left breast were positive for cancer. I had chemo (Adriomycin, Cytoxin and Taxol) and 6 weeks of radiation (daily) and when I was activly doing all these things I felt like I was doing something, fighting, since I have finished treatment I don't know where I stand, I've been told that so far I'm ok, but I don't feel ok, I definatly have chemo brain, I have no doubt about it, my memory is shot,I used to be the most organized person, and now I'm so disorganized it drives me crazy. I invented multi tasking and now I can't do one thing at a time with out something going wrong. It is so frustrating, I got through all the treatment because I was on auto-pilot, now what? I was learning how to survive before, now I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I still feel like I'm dying but I'm not living that's for sure, I'm existing. It's depressing. I wish I never got chemo, chemo ruined the organs that were ok when I started out. My adrenal gland went into "adrenal failure", I now have to take hydrocortisone to supplement what my body doesn't produce any more. I have so much to learn about the long term side effects of chemo because I still have tingling in my hands and feet, sometimes they hurt so bad, my chemo brain, adrenal function, and my heart which used to be the best organ I had is now having problems too, does any one else have these problems?
I lost my husband 5 yrs ago.2 yrs ago I showed symptoms of pancreatic cancer and ended up in hospital with the pancreas removed and various other bits and pieces and turned into Diabetic Type 1. 1 yr later CT scan in the UK showed 8-9 nodules in my left lung.Petscan in the US showed them negative.Researching the net and adjusting my diet, a new CTscan with contrast showed that the nodules were shrinking!!!It really helps to ask, ask and ask and research the problem.Once I had left hospital a long time friend from the US came to visit, we flew back to California and got married! He too was widowed and that at the grand old age of 74/88.After all the trauma, happiness and long may it continue.
My most unexpected happening the first year was I had cancer. This happened the second time I had cancer and it is as unexpected the third time as the first and second. However, the emotions are different. The first year I laid on the couch a lot and I cried a lot. The drains I had to take care of were disturbing but home health care for a couple of weeks during that period was reassuring. The second time I took care of the drain myself and this time surgery is not an option. It is strange how the emotions change. There are very few tears, I do have pain but it s tolerable with mild pain pills. I have not spent a day on the couch and feel more peace than sorrow. I am very frightened about the way I shall die and yet have confidence in my doctor that she will not let that happen. I am sorry to have to leave my family and most of all my husband of 57 years. At this time though I have had oral chemo for year and a half an by golly some of the lesions have shrunk and they are all stable. I have been fighting this for fifteen years and each time I have a scan and get a report like that I feel renewed. As it has been said no two patients are alike. Each is unique and that is why they need to keep the research active. It is true that my grown children do not ask about it much and really do not know the days of fatique I have . My own Pastor does not ask. However, I do have a few friends that ask almost every day and actually that is too much. My 1500 word are used.
I just wanted to thank everyone who has posted so far. I was diagnosed last month with stage 2 breast cancer and am now doing chemotherapy. I'm 31 and thought I was in really good health. Emotionally, it's been a real ride. Since my diagnosis, several cancer veterans (some with breast cancer, others with different kinds) have reached out to me. It's exactly as others have posted - many of my biggest supporters have not been who I'd expect... friends of friends, former high school teacher, co-workers whose cancer experience was unknown to me. It has been so reassuring to hear their stories and advice, especially about how to manage the emotional part of this experience. I've gotten great tips on handling chemo side effects too. In many ways, these people have become my mentors. I have a very supportive spouse and family, but I can't talk to them in the same way as I can with someone who's been through it. My husband keeps telling me that one day I'll be the person reaching out to help cancer patients. And that thought is very motivating. Just hearing 'you can do it' from someone whose done it is powerful! Thanks, again, everyone!!
DCIS stage 0 breast cancer. Although surgeons consider this 'pre" cancer, it still is cancer. 7 weeks of daily radiation and having people saying - "I can't believe that YOU got breast cancer" Surround yourself with positive people. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Having meals made was terrific and it was a great help to speak to friends who went through your procedure. It is one thing when an oncologist speaks to you, and another when a friend does.
I was diagnosed Jan '012, top half of right lung cut out 24 Feb '012. After shock, depression, recovery I came across an article in a cancer forum that explained a lot of what I went/was going/and would experience.
It's title...
"The Things I Wish I Were Told When I Was Diagnosed With
Written by...
Jeff Tomczek
...freelance writer...diagnosed leukemia age 27.
Outline of it...
"Your relationships are about to change.
All of them. Some will get stronger. They will probably not be with the people you would expect. The people you want to handle this well might not be able to for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons will be selfish. Some of them will be entirely innocent and circumstantial. All of them will be forgivable because no one plans for cancer. Carrying bitterness or anger won't help your recovery. Fighting for anyone to stick with you won't cure you. Those who can, will.
You will be determined to have more energy than you do...
You are going to feel fear...
The people who love you will be just as scared as you are...
The sooner you recognize that you are mortal, the sooner you can create the mentality for survival...
Your doctors and nurses will become your source of comfort..
You will need to find balance after treatment...
You will inspire others. It will feel weird."

I am not a cancer survivor, but I feel that way. My otherwise healthy, active, fit husband received a metastatic colorectal cancer diagnosis (stage IV) one year ago, at age 36. Two surgeries and six months of chemo later, he is now in full remission. But in many ways, I often feel that the most difficult thing about cancer, is the "after". We've been running on adrenaline for a year, as I've continued working full-time and raising our two very young boys. But now, fatigue has set in and everyone expects that we should return to "business as usual." I often wish I could hide under a rock for a few months! I'm very interested in hearing about how cancer veterans have adapted to the "new cancer normal" after treatments are done. Thank you.
OK, I am the same "Linda" that just posted my breast cancer survivor story. I wish that I had known that I was at a higher risk for ovarian cancer. I was diagnosed Feb 2009 with Stage IV ovarian cancer....6 months of chemo (with that "shot" to boost my blood cells the day after treatment)...hysterectomy and de-bulking.....6 more months of chemo (a different "boost shot" the day after treatments, not as bad as the first round). you just never know, remember THAT.....here it is, 3 years AFTER that treatment, and...no sign of cancer. During treatment, I would see "trailers" at the movies, only to hear they were not coming out for several months....I thought to myself "I won't be around to see those movies"...silly thinking like that is pretty normal. I hope that I did a good job of "mentoring" my nephew's future mother-in-law last Sunday...she is undergoing chemo for breast cancer,already dreading the surgery and radiation treatments. We compared breast cancer and treatments, I told her how long ago that was, etc. I hope she wasn't too disappointed when she asked if I was now cancer free.....I had to say, well, I DID have a little problem with ovarian cancer 4 years ago, but here it is, 3 years AFTER all of that treatment. My husband seems to think I did a lot of good, I am so "bubbly" ! My nephew's fiancee (her caregiver)was hanging on to every word I said. Very important to experience someone who has &quo
It is hard to add anything more to Debbie's and Bill's comments, but I would like to emphasize the importance of 1)having a medical team you trust, and 2)of moving quickly to activate your support network. And realize that they may not be who you expect! Close relatives may experience shock of their own. Think about what you really need (information? a listener? help with practicalities?) and then think about who could help. My best support came from acquaintances who had similar experience to mine, and from friends who could and would provide childcare and meals, my most immediate needs. I also found that diversion helped - my family and I took up a new activity together, which we had planned before my diagnosis. It's a funny line you have to walk - partly keeping things as normal as possible, and partly knowing that "normal" is over.
I am 30 years "post breast cancer" treatment..had several nodes involved, so I had 4 months of chemo and the Adriamyacin also damaged my heart....I suspect the radiation therapy did some damage also, since my left breast was involved. After treatment I was sure I was going to die soon....I spent too many days depressed and closed up in my bedroom, thinking Woe Is Me..looking back, I should have been put on antidepressants, I wasted so much of my life moping. 2 years later, I discovered breast cancer on the other side...the mastectomy was a "no-brainer", my husband whole heartedly agreed GET RID OF THEM! I had immediate reconstruction, although I regret getting silicone implants..bad bad bad...after rupturing, I have saline which are much better. One of my biggest mistakes was (probably for my husband and young kids) "pretending" to be OK,even though I felt like crap........remember to think about YOURSELF also!
I was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer with metastasis to the brain in August of 2010. I've had no signs of lung problems and am a very healthy person. As my head was reeling, I had to make serious decisions about how to go forward at the same time. The best advice I received is "there is no one right way."
I am now in remission and life has returned to as close to normal as it can get.
I wanted to share my experiences as I went through it all. I kept a public blog to update family, friends and curious strangers on my progress. I still keep it updated with check-up results.
There were many coping mechanisms I used to get through this ordeal. I put together a free booklet that can be downloaded at www.quicktipsformanagingcancer.com that reviews the techniques I used to deal with cancer procedurally, physically and psychologically. I mentor other lung cancer patients and visit cancer patients during their chemo treatments at the hospital each week.
I find that helping others by listening to them and sharing experiences is a healing process for everyone involved.
When I would sit every morning at 7:00am in the waiting room with my gown on and rear end exposed I realized a certain sense of empowerment. A feeling of forboding and sadness permeated the room. Some people would talk, some would cower. Some had no hair and wore bandana's. Some were bald and didn't care. Most were just plain scared. I have prostate cancer and the waiting room was a radiation oncology room in a hospital in Portland. Every day for more than 8 weeks I witnessed all kinds of emotions. I was more interested in other people than myself. How were they coping. Were they scared. What kind of cancer did they have. Some would engage me and some would refuse to answer my questions. There was crying, anger, and a multitude of other feelings. It was an eye opener for me. I was dreadfully fatigued from my radiation. I cried as well. For others as well as for me. I was alone, others had family with them. The families anguished for their loved one. I drew strength from all of this. I began to take control of MY LIFE. I became very positive about the whole experience of having cancer. I was not going to be defeated emotionally by the cancer. The cancer itself might get my body but not my emotions. I have been away from treatment for 6 years but now in recurrence. I refuse to give the cancer any power from worry or feeling sorry for myself. I am a grateful cancer fighter. My father died from prostate. Two brothers have prostate cancer one of whom died. Both son's have BPH.
In 2001, I was diagnosed with triple negative stage B2 breast cancer. Two lymph nodes were effected. I had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. I was convinced that I would die in two years, as was the case with my sister, and a good friend. Then I decided that since I was only 61, I still had some good times coming. My husband was very supportive. I started being more optimistic about beating cancer. Here I am 12 and 1/2 years later! The adreamycin caused damage to heart muscle and since 1 1/2 year I have a pace maker/defibrillator and doing well. Keep up the good thoughts. Triple negative can be hard to beat, but it can be done
Hello- I am 16 years (in Oct) and 5 years from 2 lung cancers. With my second cancer I also had to have a pulmonary artery resection-and chemo followed with Cisplatin and Navelbine for 4 months. I have been a phone buddy at lung alliance and also I'm an advocate with ACSCAN in RI. I have told my story to reps and senators and have also testified in front of the Finance Committee in RI.
I agree that after you chose your doctors please make sure that you bring someone with you, who you trust, to each appointment with you. Bring lists of questions and if you have to please write down the answers. Change doctors if you don't like the way your are treated. If you don't get an answer to a question, insist on one, esp. about treatments that are proposed for you. Eat as well as you can and drink a lot of fluids. Maintain as much of a normal routine as you can until you can't. This will help you through many emotional times. You will most likely feel your emotions are all over the place. This is very normal. Don't be afraid of reaching out and talking to someone who knows about these. Treat your self with kindness and get plenty of rest, if you can. You can keep a positive outlook by knowing that your are doing the best that you can in a very tough situation. Remember also that cancer now doesn't mean an immediate death sentence. Many many cancers are cured and some people live with "chronic cancers" their whole life. You can do this!!!
I am now 2.5 years after diagnosis, chemo therapy, and stem cell transplant. Keeping busy has been of great benefit to me. Volunteering is a wonderful way to help others, while also giving you a real good feeling about yourself. Being able to make a contribution to society again is remarkable therapy. I look at each of my volunteer responsibilities as giving me another extension to my care team. All of this has helped me to stay focused on things other than my cancer treatment, recovery, and follow-up. Even days that I do not feel real great, I push myself so as to not start feeling sorry for myself. By the end of the day, I usually have forgotten why I was not feeling 100%! There are many volunteer opportunities available; good luck in finding ones that work for you.
Thank you for asking.....
My advice would be:
1. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself and your healthcare. The doctors are people, too, and they don't always know everything about you or your case.
2. Always take soemone with you to every appointment to take notes for you. Have questions written down in advance that you want to ask.
3. The emotional rollercoaster is one of the most difficult things. You don't feel "sick", yet - you may die. Take time to treat yourself and give yourselg permission to "play the cancer card" and tell people "no" when you don't feel like helping out or participating in something. Make sure you do have a supportive and positive group of friends and family around you.
4. Remember: Staying positive does NOT mean that you have to smile and laugh all the time. It means that you decide that YOU are going to fight and beat cancer. You can do it!
