How to Be a Friend to Someone With Cancer
Friendship and cancer
Friends of cancer patients often want to help, but don't know what to do. Here we will give you some ideas about where to start.
Today, most people with cancer are treated in the outpatient setting – they don't have to stay in the hospital. Advances in cancer treatment and symptom management let them remain at home. During this time they often need help, support, and encouragement.
Many studies have found that cancer survivors with strong emotional support tend to better adjust to the changes cancer brings to their lives, have a more positive outlook, and often report a better quality of life. Research has shown that people with cancer need support from friends. You can make a big difference in the life of someone with cancer.
As you spend time with your friend and learn more about how cancer is affecting their everyday life, keep your eyes open for other things you can offer. See how your friend responds to different activities, and know that the situation may change as treatment goes on. Tailoring your help to what they need and enjoy most is the best way to be a friend.
What you can do: Notes and calls
Make sure your friend knows that they are important to you. Show that you still care for your friend despite changes in what they can do or how they look.
- Write brief, frequent notes or make short, regular calls rather than long, infrequent letters or calls. Include photos, kids' drawings, and cartoons.
- Ask questions.
- End the call or note with "I'll be in touch soon," and follow through.
- Call at times that work best for your friend or set times for them to call you.
- Return their calls, texts, and emails right away.
What you can do: Visits
Cancer can be very isolating. Try to spend time with your friend – you may be a welcome distraction and help them feel like they did before cancer became a major focus of their life.
- Always call before you visit. Be understanding if your friend can't see you at that time.
- Schedule a visit that allows you to give physical and emotional support for the caregiver. Maybe you can arrange to stay with your friend while the caregiver gets out of the house for a couple of hours.
- Make short, regular visits rather than long, infrequent ones. Understand that your friend might not want to talk, but they may not like being alone either.
- Begin and end the visit with a touch, a hug, or a handshake.
- Be understanding if the family asks you to leave.
- Always refer to your next visit so your friend can look forward to it.
- Offer to bring a snack or treat to share so your visit doesn't impose on the caregiver.
- Try to visit at times other than weekends or holidays, when others may visit. Time can seem the same to a house-bound patient. A Tuesday morning can be just as lonely as a Saturday night.
- Take your own needlework, crossword puzzle, or book, and keep your friend company while they doze or chat with other friends.
- Rent and watch a movie with your friend.
- Read sections of a book or newspaper and summarize them for your friend.
- be afraid to touch, hug, or shake hands with your friend.
What you can do: Conversation
Many people worry that they don't know what to say to someone with cancer. Try to remember that the most important thing is not what you say – it's that you're there and willing to listen. Try to hear and understand how your friend feels. Let them know that you're open to talking whenever they feel like it. Or, if the person doesn't feel like talking right now, let them know that's OK, too.
- the conversation to your friend's attention span so they don't feel overwhelmed or guilty about not being able to talk.
- your friend focus on whatever brings out good feelings, such as sports, religion, travel, or pets.
- your friend keep an active role in the friendship by asking advice, opinions, and questions – even if you don't get the response you expect.
- your friend if they're having any discomfort. Suggest new ways to be more comfortable, such as using more pillows or moving the furniture.
- honest compliments, such as "You look rested today."
- your friend's feelings. Allow them to be negative, withdrawn, or silent. Resist the urge to change the subject.
- urge your friend to fight the disease if they feel it's too hard to do it.
- tell them how strong they are; they may feel the need to act strong even when they're sad or exhausted.
- careful not to leave out your friend when talking to others in the room.
- that your friend can hear you even if they seem to be asleep or dazed.
- offer medical advice or your opinions on things like diet, vitamins, and herbal therapies.
- remind them of past behaviors that might be related to the illness, such as drinking or smoking. Some people feel guilty over those things.
- your friend questions. Ask for their advice and opinions.
What you can do: Errands and projects
Many people want to help friends facing a difficult time. Keep in mind that wanting to help and offering to be there for your friend is what matters most.
- care of any urgent errands your friend or the caregiver needs right away.
- an errand for the caregiver; it's as helpful as an errand for your friend.
- friend may appreciate it more if you take care of frequent, scheduled errands, rather than fewer ones that take a lot of time.
- projects in advance and start them only after talking with the caregiver.
Suggested ideas:
- a list of tasks. Organize friends, neighbors, and co-workers to help complete the tasks on a regular, weekly basis. There are special Web sites that can help with this.
- lunch for your friend and their caregiver one day a week. If your friend is getting chemo, ask what they feel like eating.
- your friend's house for an hour every Saturday.
- for your friend's lawn or garden once a month.
- pet-sit, or take care of your friend's plants.
- or pick up library books, movies, or books on CD.
- groceries.
- to the post office.
- up prescriptions.
- make "to do" lists.
- an important event or funny TV show for your friend.
- family or friends to and from the airport or a hotel.
- by driving family or friends or running errands.
What you can do: How to offer support
Some people find it hard to accept support – even when they need it. Don't be surprised or hurt if your friend refuses help. It's not you. It's more about their pride and their need for independence.
- emotional support through your presence and your touch.
- the caregiver. In doing so, you will help your friend. Many people are afraid of being a burden to their loved ones.
- practical ideas on what you can do to help, and then follow through.
- your help is needed, even if family, friends, or hired help is also helping out.
What you can do: Gifts
Look for small, practical things your friend may need or just enjoy. Think about what their average day is like and what might make it a little better. It's always good to laugh and smile, too, so look for fun things for your friend.
- sure gifts are useful right away. Small gifts given frequently are usually better than large, one-time gifts.
- a gift to the caregiver; it's as welcome as a gift to your friend.
- that a thank-you note is not needed.
Suggested ideas:
- or silly socks
- soft washcloths, towels, and sheets
- or satin pillowcases
- toiletries, such as cologne, soaps, lotion, and makeup
- postcards
- or unusual foods or snacks
- items, such as a cancer resource book, a special pillow, or a heating pad
- massage device
- small cordless phone
- of friends
- CD of your friend's favorite soothing music or nature sounds
- movies
- books
Everyone, no matter how strong, can benefit from having a friend. Your friend with cancer needs you and your support.
No matter who you are, we can help. Contact us anytime, day or night, for information and support. Call us at 1-800-227-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.

Doctor Who: Fourth Doctor Ceramic 3D Mug
The Fourth Doctor is the fourth incarnation of the protagonist of the long-running BBC television science fiction series Doctor Who. He was portrayed by Tom Baker for seven consecutive seasons from December 28, 1974 (Part One of Robot) to March 21, 1981 (Part 4 of Logopolis), and remains the longest-lived incarnation of the Doctor in the show's on-screen history, counting both the classic and modern series.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old Time Lord alien from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in his TARDIS, frequently with companions. When the Doctor is critically injured, he can regenerate his body, changing his physical appearance and personality in the process.

"We didn't want to leave our home. I never felt anti-Semitism there or anything like that, but we were living in fear: You would go out and didn't know if you would come home again. So we decided it was worthwhile living a safer life, a quieter life, even though we would have to sacrifice a lot to be here. We came with only our bags, nothing else."
Related quotes
"Wagner was a monster. He was anti-Semitic on Mondays and vegetarian on Tuesdays. On Wednesday he was in favor of annexing Newfoundland, Thursday he wanted to sink Venice and Friday he wanted to blow up the pope."
"In the strongest terms, the Bush-Cheney campaign condemns the anti-Semitic remarks made against Senator Lieberman by the Dallas, Texas NAACP President Lee Alcorn. When it comes to fighting anti-Semitism, Governor Bush and Secretary (Dick) Cheney stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all Americans in condemning such foolish utterances."
"Anti-Semitism has no historical, political and certainly no philosophical origins. Anti-Semitism is a disease."

It is the Fourth Annual Steppes Fall Court! Where and when, you ask? The event will be at camp Burnet in South Lake. (A map and written directions will be posted soon). The site will open Friday; October 6, 2000 at noon and close Sunday; October 8, 2000 at noon. Feast will be Saturday evening, and will consist of your most exquisite dishes.

Activities will include: Melee war practice (including combat archery and siege weapons); classes on the 100 Years War by Master Tadgh, melee tactics by Ld Hosea and the Fray, and combat archery by Don Sebastian. Mistress Kalida will be sponsoring an art and science competition, and the Equestrian Guild will host a Central Regional equestrian practice. You may bring your horses for the weekend!

No childrens activities have been scheduled at this time, but we welcome volunteers to help out in teaching and entertaining our children.

The Snail in the Ginger Beer
Two weeks ago I linked to a BBC article by Clive Coleman about the case of the carbolic smoke ball. He must be doing a series on interesting legal cases, because he's back with a great article about the legal case of the snail found in ginger beer. Quick summary In 1928 May Donoghue claimed to find a snail in her bottle of ginger beer. Her complaint eventually helped bring about modern consumer protection laws in the UK. The catch: "to this day, no-one knows for sure if there ever really was a snail in May Donoghue's bottle of ginger beer."
I should add this case to my list of Gross Things Found in Food.

You need some printer management software which works brilliantly on network printers, but you have more of a problem on local printers.
We use Print Manager Plus, PaperCut is another very popular one.
From these you can regulate who can print what from where and at what time of day. You can also get reports of printing so you can cross charge the costs.
You can apply a different cost per page to each printer and each individual can have an allowance to control how much they print.
There are many threads on these boards on this subject if you search for them.

Originally published at Open Media Boston.
by Doug Enaa Greene
To revolutionaries, and I'd imagine many others too, anniversaries are when we remember past events and struggles, discuss their significance and what lessons they may hold for us in the current moment. Although I hold to the reflections I gave on the previous two anniversaries of the Occupy Movement (see here and here), that still leaves the question: what do we say now? Was this Occupy Movement the herald of a new form of radical politics? A liberal version of the Tea Party? A fun carnival? A necessary learning process that thousands of newly politicized activists had to undergo before moving onto more serious politics? Or just a flash in the pan? Can we even pass judgment on the many unrealized dreams of Occupy?

You have a few options. Something like 5,000 children travel out of the Queanbeyan region everyday to attend schools in the ACT. The main high schools of choice are; Campbell HS, St Edmunds College and the Grammar Schools.
Campbell HS particularly has a strong NSW enrolment. Of course, locally you have Karabar HS which has a gained a sound reputation over the last four/five years. Next year, the new Anglican school will open in Googong and they have already appointed the founding principal. At this stage, I believe that Googong Anglican is only opening for primary years (but check with the Independant School Association on this).
The best avenue in choosing any school, is to make an appointment with the school and talk to the principal. The most important factor is selecting a school that matches your child's needs, rather than selecting a school soley based on published academic 'results'.

Officials at the Charlottesville Albemarle Health Department say swine flu clinics targeting high risk groups are still being run.
So far, the Thomas Jefferson Health District has administered 13,245 doses of the H1N1 vaccination. 9,400 of those have been through school based clinics.
Monday, Albemarle County held its last vaccination clinic for elementary school students.
Students at the University of Virginia are continuing with immunization clinics. The next is scheduled for November 19th. Almost 800 cases of flu- like illnesses have been reported there.
As for the general public, people will have to wait until early to mid- December before adequate supplies of the vaccination are available for everyone.
Health Department officials say that flu-like cases in the commonwealth peaked the week of October 31st, but the illness has come in waves, and more outbreaks may still come.
Officials say hospitalization rates are highest among children. They say they're doing everything they can to prepare for another possible outbreak, and suggest that everyone at high risk continue to get vaccinated as soon as they can.
For more information about upcoming swine flu clinics just visit http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/

NASA space tech: From Pioneer to Curiosity
Summary: As Voyager celebrates its 35th birthday and Curiosity starts on the most exciting Mars mission ever, we look back at the IT under the hood of six NASA projects that have made science fiction into everyday fact.
6 of 6Image
Uniquely among unmanned spacecraft, the iconic Hubble Space Telescope has had its hardware changed several times during its mission since its launch in 1990. While most of those upgrade missions concentrated on replacing instruments, two included processor upgrades.
The original controlling computer was the DF-224 built by Rockwell Autonetics, which has three 8-bit 1.25MHz custom CPUs and six 8K 24-bit plated-wire memory units. This was a general purpose, space-qualified unit.
By 1992, two of the six memory units on the DF-224 memory units had failed, and a minimum of three working units are needed for spacecraft operation. A co-processor was installed on the first servicing mission in 1993. It had two sets of 80386/80387 processor/numeric processor pairs, each with 1MB of RAM and 256kB EEPROM, plus 384kB of non-alterable permanent ROM.
The DF-224 was replaced altogether on the third servicing mission in 1999 by the Advanced Computer. This has three Intel 486 processors running at 25MHz, each with 2MB of SRAM and 1MB of EEPROM. This remains the main processor on the spacecraft, and with the retirement of the space shuttle, no further upgrades are possible.
The Hubble is expected to remain in use until at least 2014.
Image: NASA
The most recent robotic space mission to start work is the Curiosity Mars Science Laboratory rover, which has just embarked on its workload following a month of post-landing checks.
Its main computers are a pair of identical Rover Compute Element boards, based on RAD750 processors running at 200MHz. This is a radiation-hardened version of the PowerPC 750 architecture, most notably used in Apple products, including the original iMacs. The Curiosity systems have 2GB of flash memory, 256MB of DRAM and 256kB of EEPROM.
The two systems are entirely interchangeable in use, with the main/backup designation being arbitrary.
The boards run the real-time VxWorks OS from Wind River Systems, which is now owned by Intel. VxWorks has been used or is planned for use on 11 spacecraft, including the two previous Mars Rovers, Opportunity and Spirit, as well as in BMW cars, Apache attack helicopters and Drobo network storage devices.

Book Description:
In 1986 Dr. David Snowdon, one of the world's leading experts on Alzheimer's disease, embarked on a revolutionary scientific study that would forever change the way we view aging—and ultimately living. Dubbed the "Nun Study" because it involves a unique population of 678 Catholic sisters, this remarkable long-term research project has made headlines worldwide with its provocative discoveries.Yet Aging with Grace is more than a groundbreaking health and science book. It is the inspiring human story of these remarkable women—ranging in age from 74 to 106—whose dedication to serving others may help all of us live longer and healthier lives.Totally accessible, with fascinating portraits of the nuns and the scientists who study them, Aging with Grace also offers a wealth of practical findings:• Why building linguistic ability in childhood may protect against Alzheimer's• Which ordinary foods promote longevity and healthy brain function• Why preventing strokes and depression is key to avoiding Alzheimer's• What role heredity plays, and why it's never too late to start an exercise program • How attitude, faith, and community can add years to our livesA prescription for hope, Aging with Grace shows that old age doesn't have to mean an inevitable slide into illness and disability; rather it can be a time of promise and productivity, intellectual and spiritual vigor—a time of true grace.

Justin Bieber Spray Paints Wall in Colombia, Urges Police to "FREE BREEZY"by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Justin Bieber has gone out of his way to prove he
has awful taste in friends is on Team Breezy.
The singer - who has made no secret of his affection for Chris Brown (he's super dope, people!) - found an unexpected way to show support for his embattled (?!?!?) fellow artist last night:
Bieber spray-painted the message "FREE BREEZY" on a wall in Bogota, Colombia.
This, of course, is a reference to Chris Brown's recent arrest on assault charges.
But we see at least three things wrong with the piece of graffiti:
- Chris Brown is free. His assault charge has been reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and he was released this week without needing to post bail.
- Chris Brown has checked himself into rehab for anger management, meaning he admits he has a problem and isn't exactly a victim here.
Seriously, JB. Brown makes Lil Twist look like a positive influence. Find a better role model.
Justin also showed off his tagging skills by paying homage to his late hamster, Pac.
Check out two more graffiti works by Bieber below and sound off: Should he really be an outspoken member of Team Breezy?
It's so hard to find some shoes like that
i think thats really wrong. how are you gonna kill a boy for it but then you're protect justin bieber just because hes famous?? i think they should at least make justin pay like a fine maybe.
Justin Bieber is not "Saint". He's a little, immature, white boy with the wrong friends. He constantly thinks he's better than everyone else and takes advantage of his celebrity status.
Colombians, speak for yourselves, if he's your "Saint", don't include the rest of us Colombians who actually have good taste in music.
Let's talk about some real talent: Pentatonix, Lindsey Stirling, Hayley Williams?
I've heard it said that JB is a Saint to the Colombian people and that in itself is explanation enough why they are a 3rd world country. I've also heard it said that birds of a feather FLOCK together, another case and point with the salt and pepper rap tandem. How long will this Obama Generation continue to pollute this earth. Is it even possible that the mindless heads will eventually wake up and come to realize that JB&CB survival depend on their fans>comatose state?. America is connected to every information source and educational avenue on earth yet IT STILL produces some of the most ignorant, gullible, weak minded, disconnected & emotionally starved people on earth. To think a RAP STAR with zero talent and mountains of arrogance could hypnotize & strip all self worth of the youth ---with ease..... The youth of America is absent from the neck up! It is pure failure.
On the computer unsupervised
again? I do hope that you are ten
years old or God lelp America.
Totally classless remark about
Colombia & Justin.You must be
a Vulture then.To blame Justin
& Chris for stripping American
youth of all self worth you must
think they have Superpowers.
It is you who lack any depth or insight into why you & your little
buds are mindless idiots who have to blame others for a nation
that you contribute zero to improve.
So this is the fault of President Obama? Never hear about the moron before him.You know, the old cokehead who scarred the
U.S. forever?Dumb as a post.
Started illegal wars, lied, spied &
promoted illegal torture.Now I understand where you got your
values from.
BTW,neither Justin or Chris are
considered Rappers.Justin is a
Pop singer who features rappers
at times ,Chris is in the R & B category & also does collaberations with rap artists. When your brain is fully developed, hopefully you will help your country to do the same. .
You are the dumbest picked over skank on the net.
I'm Colombian, and while normally I don't like my people too much, I'll have you know that maybe he's a Saint to the fangirls, but not the males, and much less the adults, who don't even listen to American pop music.
We're a third world country because of our corrupt government and conservative lifestyle. Once the liberal, socialist youth grows up and takes office, we'll be a bigger world power than Brazil (yes, Brazil is an economic world power).
Bieber needs to sit his punk ass down somewhere!
Justin getting in trouble again okay it was for supporting a friend but by sparying a private property maybe if it was done diffently than getting in trouble with the police again maybe have other options next time.
Why is this little boy defacing property in another country? No wonder foreign country's hate Americans. This is childish and despicable.
You really should watch the news,
read a paper,possibly check the
internet.This 'little boy' has been
volunteering,doing rebuilding with
his own hands to help the Colombian people.He is a saint
to them.You & your ignorance &
criticizing a guy who really cares
about his fellow humans is despicable.You & that Superior
Attitude is why Americans are so
While I hate JB, it is actually legal to graffiti in Colombia, because we do believe in freedom of artistic expression (one of the few good things about my country).
This is much ado about nothing; he's away and does not know all the details of what's happening with Chris. He's only doing what any friend of many years would do, supporting Chris if he was the one who actually drew that and not his friend painting with him.
What delusion must arise to write in one name and then answer the author in another name. Aiding the Columbia people is like saying I'm here to aid you & for the cocoas. After reading about how helpful Justin is I now find myself on the verge of an orgasim and I'm sure I'm not alone.
My sentiments exactly,Ivan.
Obviously Justin is unaware of
Chris's present situation.He has been hard at work aiding the Colombian people.Still, what a
good friend to let him know that
Chris is in his thoughts.I do also think Justin probably had alot of
help with that but what a good
person he is and a loyal friend.
To theHG;
Shame on you for a really Nasty,
Sarcastic and Moronic article.
Embattled with a ?!?!?
Oh,maybe you are just asking
what that means?No wonder you
get the Cretins on your site.
FYI- u are the only one who won't need a mask tonight! Everyone else will - when around you.
@Lola- even as you have the maturity of a 12 year old you sure sound like someone else I know.
Oh,two people cannot share the
same opinion,you are right.Now you can't believe Justin is helping the people of Colombia?
That's because you could never
fathom helping Anyone.
Lots of nerve to accuse Ivan of
using My name.
When you have 10 new Usernames every week & talk
for 4 pages answering pretend
commenters, How DARE YOU!
I'm outta here.Continue on!
The youth & Government in America won't be content until every black male can have an unconditional pass on anything he chooses to do. We already have most standing tall and defending them. The end result would be something that will bring a cleansing to all involved I'm sure. Free Brezzy huh? Yes, I say let's free him so he can live with the same consequences we all have to abide by but that will never be part of the plan. Maybe if can spend our days apologizing endlessly?
Brown has not yet been tried in court; these charges against him may be as bogus as the last one in which he was cleared. Of course those who hate him or blacks, will hate Justin for not being the racist most people are.
You nailed that because this
'commenter' is a total racist
who hates anyone who is
'evolved' enough to see that
Equal Rights is what is Right.
@ivan..I just scrolled down & there it is.The hate & nonsense
of a crazed racist.So rational that
you have now become the 'Ist Black Ivan' because only blacks stand up for blacks.Oh well, last week I was not only black, I was a
Mud Shark & a racist! Awful that
a white person would have compassion for any person of another race.
Sims, you are without any Reason
or Articulation.
I'm confused or maybe your ass is the one who is confused. What bogus charge? The one which he whipped a woman's ass. Here is how this goes- George Zimmerman was charged an had Death threats on what many believed to be his white ass. Politicians stood up in their work place and claimed he hunted Trayvon down like a "Rabid Dog" for sure. The black panthers put out a bounty on his white head! In your wildest imagination don't think that you have the education or experience to lecture me on Hate or prejudice or anything of that nature. Blacks are the most racist- on earth. As far as Justin B? There is a segment of society that bolts to the side that they think will prevail. Justin sees what many want to see and they ALL mistake tolerance for weakness. Nothing stays the same and the BLACK PARDON given to any celeb will not last. Your are the 1st Black "Ivan" I've ever heard of but you most surely are black because blacks make excuses like Bogus- Much ado- if if if - etc and did you say friend for many years? Ha! How long is many- Ivan. The kid is what- 20?
@Lola- I realize that you are attracted to me. It becomes more obvious each time I look over my shoulder. It's flattering but it will never work. I have standards and it goes without saying you dont meet them. Aim low Lola and you will be less.... disappointed, like C Brown, he is one ugly MF'er and I'm not & I never have been.
Blah Blah Blah
Same insanity,different day.

Lil Wayne and T.I.'s joint venture extends to their family members. The rappers' little girls are brewing their own reality TV show that will follow them in the journey to reach stardom through the singing group they form with two other friends.

They are joined in the group by 11-year-old Bahjah Rodriguez and her 10-year-old sister Lourdes, both the daughters of Silk member John-John.
Their series is backed up by Ish Entertainment, a production house of "Paris Hilton's My New BFF" and T.I.'s "Road to Redemption". No other detail has been released regarding the unscripted series.
Reginae and Zonnique inherit their mothers' reality star quality. Tameka "Tiny" Cottle and Lil Wayne's ex Antonia "Toya" Carter have navigated their own reality show, "Tiny & Toya", which is airing as half-hour on BET.

Instead of standing on the side of freedom, justice, and equal rights for its people, today, regrettably, Ugandan President Museveni took Uganda a step backward by signing into law legislation criminalizing homosexuality. As President Obama has said, this law is more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in Uganda, it reflects poorly on the country's commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and will undermine public health, including efforts to fight HIV/AIDS. We will continue to urge the Ugandan government to repeal this abhorrent law and to advocate for the protection of the universal human rights of LGBT persons in Uganda and around the world.

The Project Director, E2DMC, an education solutions provider, Ms. Jumoke Olatunji, says the most effective way to tackle failure rate, particularly in subjects such as Mathematics and English language, is to identify each pupil's capability.
She stated this in Lagos while unveiling one of the company's new products, Profiler.
According to her, the item identifies pupils' learning difficulty and proffers solution to them.
She said, "There is no pupil that is dull. In that supposedly slow pupil, you will find that he is really fast, creative and intelligent. The child only has a specific learning difficulty, which requires identification and turning around into a positive character attribute.
"What to do is to identify the problem before a child fails and intervene aoopropriately. Those countries with high success rates in education understand that if you apply a simple assessment during the year, you can significantly decrease the level of failures."
Olatunji, who said E2DMC would collaborate with a United Kingdom outfit, Microlinkpc, in packaging the initiative, added that the move had helped some pupils in improving their internal and external examinations.
The Account Manager, Microlinkpc, Mr. Gabriel Swatzell, noted that the profiler would determine the causes of failure in a particular subject as well as proffer solutions to them.
Noting that the system had been successful in the UK, he added that it would be a panacea for failure in Mathematics and English Language.
Swatzell added that there was an administration of short assessment in various subjects on the pupils, which provided their teachers with a road map for their classes.

Coldplay Cemeteries Of London Lyrics
Last updated: 01/08/2013 09:54:10 AM
At night they would go walking 'til the breaking of the day,
The morning is for sleeping…
Through the dark streets they go searching to seek God in their own way,
Save the nighttime for your weeping…
Your weeping…
Singing la lalalala la le…
And the night over London rang.
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts strain
for their curses to be broken…
We'd go underneath the arches where the witches are in there saying
There are ghost towns in the ocean…
The ocean…
Singing la lalalala la le…
And the night over London rang.
God is in the houses and God is in my head… and all the cemeteries in London…
I see God come in my garden, but I don't know what he said,
For my heart, it wasn't open…
Not open…
Singing la lalalala la le…
and the night over London rang.
Singing la lalalala la le…
There's no light over London today.
Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for submitting Cemeteries Of London Lyrics.
Coldplay cemeteries of London | Reviewer: Elijah | 1/8/13
One thing about coldplay is that they tend to go extra ordinary with their lyrics.this one paints the image of horror and margic in the underworld with the mention of cemeteries and ghosts....
Streets covered by algae and old wall buildings come into mind.
Awesome song...

When a creature is removed from play (from a power such as Void Assumption). You may technically not be "hidden" per RAW, but you are effectively hidden.
The question arises...when you come back into play, does every enemy combatant automatically know where you are? What if you come back behind cover or superior cover? Can you make a stealth check? What if you appear adjacent to an enemy? Would you have CA if you make an attack immediately after starting your turn?
I'm curious what the RAW and RAI would be here.

I'm still kicking myself for having missed the Democratic primary here and blown my chance to vote against Andrew Cuomo twice.
You can be sure I'll be voting against him next month, but here's the thing.
I really shouldn't be having to vote against him at all.
I mean two things by that.
One is that as a good Franklin Roosevelt-revering liberal Democrat from New York I shouldn't be presented with the likes of Andrew Cuomo on the ballot as the Democratic nominee for governor at all.
As I've said, Cuomo isn't a closet Republican. Also, as I've said, the proper term for a Democrat who isn't a good and reliable liberal isn't Republican, it's wrong. No, Cuomo's a Democrat through and through, just not a liberal enough one. He worries too much about the care and feeding of millionaires. But in addition to that, he hates other liberal Democratic politicians and just about every organized bloc of the Democratic base and much of what he does that isn't liberal he doesn't do to be conservative. He does it to show them who's boss.
This goes way back with him, to when his father was governor.
He blames them as much, heck, probably more, than he blames Republicans for the hard time they gave Mario Cuomo and how they got in the way of Mario's getting things done. We'll have to wait for the biographies, but I suspect Andrew blames his father too, for not being tough enough and ruthless enough in his dealings with them. Andrew may not be as smart as his father (although I'm not sure he knows that), he may not be as eloquent, he's definitely not as charismatic, but he's sure as hell meaner, and that counts for a lot, in his own mind, at any rate. Whatever reverse Hamletesque psychodrama he might be playing out, however, he's apparently motivated by the determination to oppose them. If they want something, he doesn't. If they don't want it, he does.
Charles Pierce dislikes the guy as much as I do. Thinks he's horrible, as a matter of fact. Despises "the cynical, nasty, and high-handed way he conducts himself in office."
This also goes way back with Andrew.
I used to hear it from friends who worked with him in the Clinton administration.
I heard it from friends who worked in his father's administration and from reporters who covered Mario back then.
And it's not the way he conducts himself "in office."
It's the way he conducts himself, period.
It's him. How he is. Who he is.
That a politician is an arrogant jerk isn't in itself necessarily a reason to vote against him, just as someone's being a nice guy isn't in itself a reason to vote for him. The same qualifier applies to both.
Does his jerkiness or niceness get in the way of his getting the stuff done that needs to get done?
Cuomo's jerkiness doesn't get the way of his getting stuff done he wants done, but it gets in the way of his getting stuff done that needs to get done because it makes him just not want to do it.He wants everything his way or…his way.
Nobody tells Andrew Cuomo what to do, especially not his liberal and Democratic rivals.
He wants everything his way or…his way.
So that's why it's going to be satisfying to vote against him even if I only get to do it once.
I have to admit, though, it probably wouldn't feel so satisfying if by voting against him I was really helping his Republican opponent win.
The other way I mean I shouldn't have to be voting for or against Andrew involves the What Could've Been Factor.
The trouble with Andrew isn't that he's as bad a governor as any Republican. The trouble isn't even that he's a worse than any other Democrat would be. And the trouble isn't simply that he's not as good a liberal governor as we should have or could have. The trouble is he's not as a good liberal as the one we did have.
Right now we liberal Democrats shouldn't be talking about whether or not we can vote in good conscience for Andrew Cuomo.
We should be looking forward to voting to re-elect Eliot Spitzer to a third term.
And the reason we're not is Eliot Spitzer's own fault.
You thought this post was about Andrew Cuomo, didn't you?
It's not about Eliot Spitzer either.
Or Mitt Romney's who's going to turn up here in a minute.
It's about Malala Yousafzai.
You'll see.
I don't want to idealize Spitzer. A second term might not have been a sure bet, never mind a third. He had his own problematic temperament and wasn't known for working and playing well with others. Hs first year in office was one political squabble after another, most instigated by him, most probably avoidable and unnecessary and accomplishing nothing. So I don't know how effective a liberal governor he'd have turned out to be. He was a better liberal than Andrew starting out at least in not being overly concerned with the care and feeding of millionaires. In fact, the only care and feeding of millionaires that seemed to cross his mind was that which would be provided at state expense. Spitzer's main concern when it came to millionaires was how to put them in jail.
Some people think this is why he didn't get to finish his first term as governor, let alone run for a third. The millionaires he wanted to put in jail got him first.
Nah. Client 9 got himself.
While he was energetically trying to apply the law to millionaires, he decided it didn't apply to himself.
Before we go any further…
Spitzer didn't get run out of office. He ran himself out of office. And it wasn't because he cheated on his wife. It wasn't because he liked to cheat on his wife with prostitutes. It was because cheating on your wife with prostitutes is against the law.
Eliot Spitzer, while he was state attorney general, while he was putting other people, and not just millionaires, in jail for breaking the law, broke the law.
Of course, he's hardly the first politician who thought he could break the law and get away with it. And that's the point.
Just about every politician is someone who decided they could break the law and get away with it. But this goes beyond politicians. Every person with an ambition to be in some way better than ordinary and acts on it is someone who's decided the laws that apply to most everyone else don't apply to them.
I don't mean the laws that are codified, written down, and enforced by legal authority, the breaking of which gets you arrested, tried, and sent to jail or not just those kinds of laws.
I mean the laws that govern civil society, moral, cultural, legal, traditional, and implicit, the breaking of which ruins lives, wrecks friendships, tears apart families, divides neighbors, dissolves partnerships, and generally make impossible the formation of communities and any effort by groups large and small to work and live together. The laws that keep us from each other's throats, the laws that keep us at each other's sides and on each other's sides. The laws that bind us together mainly by requiring each of us to put others' needs ahead of our own. The laws that keep us humble and make us kind and dutiful and loyal and responsible.
But that also keep us in line and in step, obedient, self-doubting, self-limiting, self-negating as well as self-sacrificing. The laws that tell us not to get above ourselves, not to ask for too much, not to ask for more, not to ask for anything at all. The laws that tell us to know our place and keep to it and be thankful for what we have even when it's not enough to get by let alone make us happy.
The laws that tell us none of us is all that special.
These are the laws that keep us grounded, as in, rooted, level-headed, realistic, practical, self-aware, and as in earthbound, tied down, flightless, which is why I call them the laws of social gravity.
But what if you are special or think you are, which is more often the case?
What if you think you can fly and should fly? What if you dream of chasing your heart's desire into the air?
If you're brave enough, strong enough, arrogant enough, foolish enough, obsessed enough, driven enough, selfish enough, you set out to defy gravity.
Every young athlete, artist, musician, scientist, entrepreneur, adventurer, future civic leader, who's told You're too short, too little, too slow, too weird, too out there, too poor, too ambitious, too much of an underdog, too much of a girl, too much not white enough is being subjected to the laws of social gravity and therefore being presented with a choice: Give up and accept being ordinary and earthbound or break the law.
Every more than ordinarily successful person is an outlaw. That sounds romantic, I know, and it is. But it also means that every one of them has more than a touch of sociopathy in their nature.
And if you've decided one set of laws don't apply to you. You're one your way to deciding that no laws apply to you.
To be that kind of outlaw, you have to be more than averagely brave and strong but also more than averagely arrogant, foolish, obsessed, driven, and selfish. This is why all ambitious and successful people, upon getting the kind of examination the ambitious and successful tend to get, turn out to be to greater or lesser degrees not very nice.
In fact, they're often appalling.
That doesn't mean they're all bad people. Many have compensating virtues. And some even seem to understand, instinctively or because they're smart and have good hearts and they've worked it out, that one of the reasons they have been able to be better than others is by having been worse. In your superiority is your inferiority. At some point you took when they gave, you turned your back when they rushed forward to help, you left when they stayed, you said no when they said yes and said yes to what they said no to, and in understanding this and acting upon it they've made themselves into not just good people but heroic ones.
Others? Not so much.
Still, good or not so good, they are people who at some point in their lives decided: "I don't care what other people think. I don't care what they expect of me. I don't care about what they need from me. I'm going to take care of myself first. I'm going to do what I need to do. I'm going to have what I want."
And this can be beautiful and inspiring when what the defier of gravity needs and desires is the freedom to do what she does well, to make music, do science, build bridges, start a business, make the team, lead the way, cure diseases and save lives, or just be the person she knows herself to be.
It's not so beautiful when what he wants is what he can only have by taking from others, power or money or both, usually both, because they go hand in hand and really amount to the same thing, the ability to lord it over others and make them serve his needs.
That last type of gravity-defier includes but isn't limited to politicians and the professionally rich, that is, the breed of greedhead for whom the getting of money and piling up of wealth are the be-all and end-all of life, not just the point of all human endeavor but the point of human beings themselves. In short, the people running the economy at the moment and with it what should be our civil society.
Hard to have a civil society when the people running it don't think its laws apply to them.
And that's where we are these days.
Not only have we handed over the running of the country to these sociopaths or, more accurately, stood by as if helpless while they took over, we seem to like and admire and celebrate them for it. Worse, we seem to have accepted that their sociopathic view of life is correct, that the point of all human endeavor and the reason for having any kind of society, never mind a civil one, is to make money and pile up treasure, that human beings exist only to work or be used toward that end. We've acquiesced to the idea that people are divided between makers and takers, although the terms are inversely applied, the true makers being most of us who feel bound by the laws of social gravity and the takers being the ones who don't think laws of any kind should or do stop them from taking whatever they want.
And in the last Presidential election we came close to making one of them, a quintessential one of them, President. Would've taken a shift of only about 3 million votes out of the roughly 127 million cast and we'd have had the vulture capitalist and 47 percenter Mitt Romney in the White House.
And almost unbelievably there are members of the so-called liberal media who are in fact liberals who are eager for Mitt to run again in 2016!
Some of them want him to run just because it's something to write about now. Some of them want him to run because they think he's the only Republican with a chance of beating Hillary and that would give them something to write about when the campaign really gets underway. Some of them want him to run because they want Hillary to lose and it just doesn't matter to them who would become President instead. Some of them want him to run because they are disgusted by the thought of having to cover the likes of Ted Cruz or Rand Paul. And some of them are just plain dumb and believe against all the evidence that the opportunistic Mitt Romney who was beaten and bullied about as governor of Massachusetts by the overwhelmingly Democratic and liberal state legislature and forced to govern as if he was a moderate if not a liberal is the real Mitt Romney.
But some of them want him to run because they think this is what the country needs, Mitt or someone like him, a sociopathic rich guy who knows how to make money and keep the "takers" in line.
And, perversely, self-destructively, self-loathingly, a great many of us seem to have not just accepted that the laws of social gravity that keep us from each other's throats, that keep us at each other's sides and on each other's sides, that bind us together mainly by requiring each of us to put others' needs ahead of our own don't and don't have to apply to the "makers", but that other laws, the ones that keep us in line and in step, obedient, self-doubting, self-limiting, self-negating as well as self-sacrificing and tell us not to get above ourselves, not to ask for too much, not to ask for more, not to ask for anything at all, the laws that remind us to know our place and keep to it and be thankful for what we have even when it's not enough to get by let alone make us happy, those laws, apply to us "takers" even more strictly than in the recent past---or, at any rate, they apply to others who aren't among the rich and the favored, you know, Them, and need to be enforced with punitive and vindictive zeal.
And the only power the rest of us have to oppose and defeat this is power we can only gather by acting collectively, which is to say, the power that comes from progressive government.
Which, unfortunately, puts us in the position of having to rely on that other group of gravity-defiers who want what they can only have by taking from others, politicians.
Like Andrew Cuomo.
Like Eliot Spitzer.
Like too many other Democrats who in one way or another are unreliable because they are sociopaths in their own ways or because they've accepted that it's a good thing to have the sociopathic rich running things or at least having a strong hand in the running of things.
I'm not going to bother talking about the Republicans, since most of them are only mere employees.
I think Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are great. (Yes, I know. Sanders isn't a Democrat.) And although they don't get much national attention, I hear good things about Al Franken and Sherrod Brown. And one of my own senators, Kirsten Gillibrand, shows promise. She hasn't exactly been radicalized since her promotion to the Senate but she has moved squarely to the left and seems to be constantly glancing over in that direction and seeing more congenial company.
But then there are the Clintons, Hillary as well as Bill, who seem far too comfortable in the company of the professional rich. They might not be overly concerned with the care and feeding of millionaires but they don't appear to mind watching them chow down as long as they mind their manners and remember to tip the waitresses. And I'm not sure about the President. I think he'd just as soon see the professional rich made to foot more of the bill, maybe even pick up the whole tab, but I think that for too long he was too respectful and too willing to listen to people who told him that couldn't and even shouldn't happen, that the best way to be sure the sociopaths remembered to mind their manners and tip generously was to let them order pretty much anything and everything they wanted off the menu, dessert and the finest wines included.
I'm done torturing that metaphor, by the way.
So…this is where I stand, disgruntled, resentful, but resigned, not sure how much to regret I won't be voting for Eliot Spitzer, glad to be voting against Andrew Cuomo but somewhat relieved to know I really won't be helping him lose because the only way he could lose is if Howie Hawkins and the other alternative party candidates siphon away enough Democratic votes that the Republican Rob Astorino squeaks in.
No matter how big an arrogant jerk Cuomo is, no matter how much he's not enough of a liberal, no matter how much he cares about the care and feeding of millionaires, which is too much, this is still New York. Things could be worse. I could live in Wisconsin or Iowa.
It's still far from a sure bet that the guy Charles Pierce calls a wholly owned subsidiary of the Koch Brothers, Scott Walker, is going to lose and Joni Ernst is still ahead in the polls even though she's not only exempted herself from the laws of social gravity, she's decided the rules of sane and coherent reasoning don't apply to her either.
And before you say it, sometimes calling something the lesser of two evils is another way of describing the lesser of available goods.
So, finally: Speaking of someone who decided the laws of social gravity didn't apply to her and she was going to have what she wanted no matter what she was told she should want, which is, the freedom to be the person she knows herself to be and the freedom for other young women to be their own persons too, this is a good place to celebrate Malala Yousafzai's winning of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I love it that she was in chemistry class when a teacher told her about the Prize and that she finished her school day as normal before going out to meet the press.

DE BEQUE, Colo. (AP) – Three energy companies are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of a poacher who shot and killed a bighorn sheep near De Beque and left it lying on the ground.
The ram was found Friday on land owned by Chevron north of De Beque. State wildlife officers say the sheep was likely shot earlier that week.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife says the person who shot the animal in the neck didn't try to salvage the mean or take its head or horns.
The reward offered by Chevron, Encana Oil & Gas USA and Williams is in addition to a $1,000 reward by the Colorado Division of Wildlife's Operation Game Thief. The three companies have operations in the area.

The Photoshop curves tool is perhaps the most powerful and flexible image transformation, yet it may also be one of the most intimidating. Since photographers effectively paint with light, curves is central to their practice because it affects light's two primary influences: tones and contrast. Tonal curves are also what give different film types their unique character, so understanding how they work allows one to mimic any film– without ever having to retake the photograph.
