Blast from the past: Dover High thespians to perform in 'Pajama Game'
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
DOVER — If the cold winter weather has you looking for a place to warm up, this coming weekend Dover High School is offering a lot of "Steam Heat."
One of the upper classmen is Matt Palczynski, who is filling the John Raitt role of Sid, the handsome new factory superintendent. Palczynski is performing as male lead for the first time, having had a lesser a role in Oklahoma in 2012.
He brings ebullience and control to his role, brimming with confidence. "Being the lead is a dubious honor," said the smiling college-bound Palczynski, perhaps to an Ivy League school. "It is a lot of fun and I consider it a privilege to be playing Sid."
Opposite Palczynski is a newcomer to the school, junior class member Bridget Pierce, recently arrived from Liverpool, N.Y. Pierce is a longtime stage performer and relishes her role as Babe for several reasons. "I really enjoy performing," said the brunette, a classic beauty, and this is a wonderful way to make friends in a new school, as we work hard to make the musical a reality."
"Kinda weird," was her reaction.
Julia Boudreau, second daughter of the famous Dover music family, leads the scintillating dance, the aforementioned "Steam Heat," one of Bob Fosse's most famous creations.
With numerous other dance numbers and a laughingly scary knife-throwing scene perfectly carried out by Josh Bernard-Kriegel as the inebriated Hines, "Pajama Game" will keep the audience laughing, toe-tapping and singing along with timeless tunes like "Hey There" (you with the stars in your eyes) and "There Once Was a Man" (who loved a woman).
Jen Jen Blake, a senior, is the stage manager of the production, a position she has aspired to throughout her high school years. "I am so happy to be here doing this," said Blake, who plans on a career in film production.
"It is a lot of hard work, and a challenge managing a large cast, keeping friendships while staying on top of everyone and making sure they are doing the right thing."
Junior Katrina Winnicki has performed in many productions during her school career and finds, "I like this, I get to hang out with good people, and oh … I love the thrill of being on stage in front of people."

If you attend an NBA practice, you'll see players challenge each other at almost every turn: long-distance attempts from half court, trick shots, dunks—anything is fair game on the court.
So, why not put that competitive nature and creativity on display for fans to see? Exactly.
Since 1984, the NBA has done just that, showcasing its best athletes in a formatted dunk contest during All-Star Weekend.
Adopted from the American Basketball Association, which created the event in 1976, some of the greatest basketball players of all-time have burst on the scene at the dunk contest. Julius Erving, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant can be counted among the event's alumni.
With All-Star Weekend coming Feb. 15-17 in Houston, and the slam-dunk contest Feb. 16 as part of a new West vs. East skills competition, lets take a look back at past winners.
Note: The NBA did not conduct a dunk contest in the 1997-98 season, and a lockout-shortened 1999 led the league to cancel All-Star Weekend.
Julius Erving won the first dunk contest in the ABA, known for its bright red, white and blue ball and the 3-point shot. Erving earned the victory in 1976 at the height of his athleticism. When the event returned, this time in the NBA, Erving was there as a representive of the Philadelphia 76ers, making history with his free-throw line dunk. Larry Nance won the event; Erving won the moment.
Even as a second-year player, Michael Jordan stood out. There was the gold chain, the winks toward fans and the grace and ease with which he dunked. But, most controversial of all, there was the Air Jordan I, his first signature shoe with Nike. The sneaker was deemed a violation of the NBA's on-court dress code, which earned Jordan $5,000 in fines but not a win in his second dunk contest. Dominique Wilkins took the win, and the NBA took the checks.
Spud Webb's coming-out party was the year of the little man—one little man. Flanked by lanky, high-flying brothers Dominique and Gerald Wilkins, Webb remained head and shoulders above the competition. Just about any dunk looks better when a 5-foot-8 player completes it, but Webb earned every point in one of the great performances.
The first of a two-year reign for Michael Jordan began in Seattle, where the NBA might return as soon as 2014, with the Sacramento Kings possibly becoming the Seattle SuperSonics. Back then, Seattle's Terence Stansbury was a threat, just not enough of a threat to dethrone "His Airness."
Year 2 of Michael Jordan's run as the NBA's best dunker featured a duel between Jordan and Dominique Wilkins. Both being competitors in the Eastern Conference at the time, neither wanted to submit to the other. Jordan and Wilkins were awarded a combined five perfect scores out of 16 dunks. In the end, Jordan narrowly edged Wilkins before a Bulls-heavy crowd.
NBA All-Star Weekend's first trip to Houston—the site of this year's All-Star festivities—is remembered most for big high-top fades and bigger dunks. Kenny "Sky" Walker had both. He was part of a run during which Eastern Conference players won seven of the first eight dunk contests.
Dominique Wilkins' last dunk contest win was a passing of the guard. For much of his career, Wilkins was the best in-game dunker, and Shawn Kemp took over that position as the Atlanta legend's game transitioned below the rim. Kemp never won a dunk contest, but he won over plenty off acclaim for taking flight over his career.
The way players approach the dunk contest was never the same after Dee Brown. The athleticism was still there, so were the star players lined along the sidelines to cheer on their peers. The difference was the addition of antics, and for that we have Brown to thank. Brown pumped up his Reeboks and threw an arm in front of his face as he took to the air.
The use of props continued when Cedric Ceballos threw on a blindfold and snatched the dunk contest from better athletes Shawn Kemp, Larry Johnson and Stacey Augmon. Ceballos became the first Western Conference player to take the dunk contest since Larry Nance in Year 1.
Harold Miner's performance in 1993 was so impressive that he was dubbed "Baby Jordan," a nickname that he didn't quite live up to in the regular season. His dunking was tremendous, but his career was short. Miner was out of the league after only four years.
Isaiah Rider had the ability Harold Miner lacked. What Rider didn't have was the capacity to get out of his own way. A 1994 dunk title was one of the highlights of Rider's time in the NBA, which spanned nine seasons and was marked by countless off-court issues. The fact Rider maintained career averages of 19.0 points and 4.4 rebounds and is still considered an untapped talent is an indication of how good he could have been.
Harold Miner road a number of powerful dunks to his in his second win. In one of his last remaining images in the NBA, he wowed his fellow players. Gary Payton and Dikembe Mutombo were clearly amazed at Miner's exhibition when cameras caught the pair in courtside seats.
The Barry family is known for producing great shooters. Before there was Brent Barry, there was his father, Rick, and brother Jon. Each was a proficient shooter, and Brent followed in that path. But he also played above the rim and was so comfortable in the air, he didn't even bother to take off his Clippers warm-ups. Forty years after Julius Erving won the first dunk contest with a free-throw line dunk, Barry reproduced the feat with Erving in attendance.
The world was introduced to 18-year-old Kobe Bryant at the '97 dunk contest. Even at such a young age, he was supremely confident, showing as much by flexing after a between-the-legs dunk that helped propel him to the win. Bryant was the fifth rookie to take the competition.
Vince Carter and the NBA Dunk Contest were meant for one another. After two seasons without the competition, the event came back with Carter at the height of his abilities. He put forth what is considered the single greatest slam-dunk performance of all, blending originality with the best vertical jump in the NBA to post perfect scores on three of his five dunks.
Desmond Mason's signature moment came when he leapt over teammate Rashard Lewis, becoming the first to use another player as a prop. A power dunker to the core, Mason attacked the rim on every attempt. He beat out a contingent of five players who would all be one-and-done competitors.
In a field cut to only four, Jason Richardson headlined a new tournament format. Players were charged with spinning a wheel to determine what kind of dunk they would perform in some scenarios. The experiment lasted one year, but the same didn't apply to Richardson's reign.
Without the shackles of gimmicks, Jason Richardson put on an impressive performance to join Michael Jordan as the only back-to-back winners. (Nate Robinson would later join the list.) Richardson needed 48 points to edge out Desmond Howard, answering with a between-the-legs, left-handed dunk, for which he received a perfect score of 50.
Jason Richardson stuck around one year too long. He ran into Fred Jones, an undersized dunker with big ups. Jones earned perfect scores on two of his four dunks, although he and Richardson limped toward the finish and missed their final dunks.
Josh Smith brought excitement back to the dunk contest. LeBron James was expected to play that role, but he failed to follow through on a pledge from the previous year. Smith was more than enough entertainment, missing out on only five points the entire night. The electric rookie was awarded perfect scores on both of his dunks in the finals.
Nate Robinson was the first little man to win the dunk contest since Spud Webb in 1986. Listed at 5-9, Robinson stood a bit taller than Webb, though the result of their slam-dunk appearances was the same. In fact, the highlight of Robinson's performance was a dunk over Webb's head. After a day filled with missed attempts, Robinson finally outdueled Andre Iguodala in a dunk-off.
Rookie Gerald Green has one of the best verticals the NBA has seen, and every inch was on display when he won over Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard. Whether taking time to honor 1991 winner Dee Brown or bringing a cardboard cutout of Robinson to the court, Green used creativity to steal the show.
Superman took off toward the basket and came down with a slam dunk contest win. Dwight Howard ended second-year player Gerald Green's bid for consecutive wins. Howard dunked on a 12-foot rim and nearly turned horizontal as he glided toward the basket, his cape floating behind. Two perfect scores and 78 percent of the fan vote made the 6-11 Howard the tallest winner in contest history.
Dwight Howard and Nate Robinson battled yet again. Robinson was the victor this time, after he dressed in green and rode his "krypto-Nate" persona to defeat Superman, who was awarded two perfect scores but lost by 4 percent on fan voting in the finals.
Nate Robinson is one of the smaller dunk-contest winners, but no one has showed up bigger in the moment. He surpassed DeMar DeRozan on the scoreboard with 51 percent of the final vote. The win put Robinson in a class of his own, as he became the event's only three-time winner.
Blake Griffin's assortment of dunks is the closest thing we have to Vince Carter's assault on the rim in 2000. The inclusion of a KIA, sponsor to Griffin and the NBA, led to questions about the spontaneity of the event. But who cares? He jumped over a car. In one of the best battles between pure athletes, Griffin beat JaVale McGee to take the title in front a growing Clippers fan base.
A relative unknown coming into All-Star Weekend, Jeremy Evans had a lot in common with the rest of the 2012 field. The contest lacked the cachet of past years, but there were plenty of props to go around. In the end, Evans' sheer dunking ability equaled a win in the first contest in which scores were awarded exclusively through fan voting.

"My daughter loves the gloves. " (E21286)
"great gloves!" (E3859)
"I really liked these. The waist band is almost like a pair of 80s sweatpants - thick elastic waistband with A LOT of stretch. The elastic is visible, not sewn in - They have the appearance of the fold-down kind when worn. The faux fly makes them look like pricier pants. Material is not as "silky" as some to the touch, but for the price, the look and comfort is great." (E15999)

As for durability, weight, flex, etc... I like bamboo. But there are a few fabric products out there that are, I believe, a nylon type fabric specifically for surfboards that add strength but also add weight, like Inlayz.

These are fine pieces of machinery. Great craftsmanship. Do you have a site and where in Boston are you out of?
I'm using EPS foam and epoxy mostly, so its has more float and is light. I feel like they might be too light. that fabric board is hard as rock.
I'm in Chinatown Boston. "Made in Chinatown"
Very cool boards.

I see the Michela Alessi and after that is a date of sorts. I am not seeing where it says she is a midwife.
I dont suppose you could write in red above the words what they mean as the document is printed?
I appreciate the translation but I would like to be able to do this myself and am trying to learn. I have so many to translate I dont want to keep posting them here for someone else to work. I really appreciate you guys its amazing how you can do this. I am just asking I hope you understand.

The US and the LHC Accelerator
Fermilab, in collaboration with CERN and the KEK laboratory in Japan, designed and constructed final-focus magnet systems used to focus the beams before collision in the center of each of the four main LHC experiments. The systems contain superconducting quadrupole magnets, built by Fermilab and KEK, and CERN-provided correction magnets.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Fermilab designed and constructed eight cryogenic and power feed boxes that support these final-focus systems. LBNL also designed and constructed eight specialized absorbers that protect the US-provided superconducting magnets from the secondary particles produced in proton collisions at the center of the LHC experiments. The laboratory also participated in the technical production of superconducting cable.
Brookhaven National Laboratory designed and constructed 20 superconducting "beam separation" dipole magnets of four different designs and production tested superconducting wire and cable.
Scientists from all three laboratories carried out accelerator physics calculations in support of the design of the LHC, including the final-focus magnet systems.
Industry and the LHC
US industries also had a hand in building the LHC machine, supplying $88.5 million in specialized materials and components. These materials included niobium-titanium alloy niobium sheets for use in manufacturing the superconductor for LHC magnets; superconducting cable; high-temperature superconducting tape for use in power leads; insulation for LHC magnets; and cryogenic and beam instrumentation components.
The US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP)
LARP coordinates research and development in the US related to the LHC accelerator. The program supports activities at Brookhaven National Laboratory , Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory , Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory . LARP has also supported some work at the University of Texas at Austin.
LARP began in 2002 and currently operates with an annual budget of approximately $12.5 million. Over 100 scientists, engineers, and graduate students are involved in LARP-related activities.
Approximately half of LARP's resources are committed to the study of superconducting quadrupole magnets based on Niobium 3 tin (Nb3Sn) technology, so that these magnets can be used in a future Phase II upgrade to the LHC. These magnets could enhance the accelerator's capabilities compared to traditional Niobium tin magnets.
In the area of accelerator system research and development, LARP scientists provided several types of monitors and a tune feedback system for the LHC. These technologies allow accelerator physicists to monitor and diagnose the LHC particle beams. LARP is also developing a rotatable collimater, which would allow higher LHC beam intensity. Research and development for future upgrades include an electron cloud feedback system for the SPS, crab cavities for the Phase II upgrade, and significant involvement in the proposed PS2 project. The PS2 will replace the current PS accelerator in the injector line that brings an energized beam into the LHC.
LARP also funds two programs to support US personnel working on the LHC. The first is the Toohig Fellowship, open to recent PhD recipients. Successful candidates divide their time between CERN and the LARP laboratory of their choice. The Long Term Visitor program supports senior personnel wishing to relocate to CERN for extended periods. In this case, their home institutions will contribute to pay their salaries, while LARP pays transportation and cost of living expenses.
Accelerator Project for the Upgrade of the LHC (APUL)
While LARP scientists research and develop new techniques and materials, APUL (Accelerator Project for the Upgrade of the LHC) provides an opportunity for US scientists and engineers to become involved in upgrading the LHC with tested technologies.
Both APUL and CERN will build components for a near-term upgrade of LHC luminosity, which will increase the number of proton-proton collisions. The components will improve the LHC magnets' ability to steer beams into collision. APUL will build superconducting magnets with larger apertures than current magnets, as well as a cold powering system that will bring power to the magnets from supplies more than 100 meters away.
APUL began receiving funding in 2008 and is a collaboration of about twelve scientists and engineers from Brookhaven National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
To date, APUL has completed its conceptual design report and is now preparing a technical design report with CERN. The components being designed are scheduled to be installed in 2014.

The guy is always churning out great stuff. I'll probably pick up Crowded at some point. It makes sense that you'd like it more, too, due to what I know about your taste i.e. you seem to be more into the musique concrete stuff.
I really love Relief though, it's just such an affecting mixture of pretty ambient drones and harsh noise attacks. When I emailed him to order it, he remarked that it's pressed at 45 RPM and "I won't listen to it again, but I think I might have liked it even more at 33", haha.
that's great. i've listened to both Relief and Crowded at the wrong speeds. Dying Air was also a great one from this year... i should dig out those cassettes again.
the main reason I dig Crowded is it capitalizes on many of his recent strengths. as far as the harsh wall of noise stuff goes, I doubt he'll ever be able to top self-titled and Sheer Hellish Miasma in my book... so I'm happy to see him take new directions as always.
i assume you've listened to Imperial Distortion? if not, definitely check it out for some more faces of his music.
Oh yeah, I have. I've bought some of his self-released stuff this year too. In fact that reminds me that I have a 2x CS I bought from him I haven't listened to; I should get on that.
I regret skipping his set at Hopscotch to see Jacaszek. Jacaszek was cool and all, and I went with him since he's from Poland and probably won't be around the US in the foreseeable future, but my love for Kevin Drumm has grown a lot between then and now.
Jacaszek never plays... i probably would have made the same choice. Drumm does destroy live though, and he's played a lot less frequently in recent years.
Ha, yes. So wacky and indicative of their headspace at the time. Listening to the og mixes of those the "Anthem" & "Aoxomoxa" reminds me a lot of "After Bathing at Baxter's," a record I absolutely love.
EDIT: "Anthem" was the second Dead release I ever listened to and was like, "what the fuck is going on here?" I'm glad you dig, hardly anyone thinks of them as a legitimate psych band, but their early shit is pretty out there.
Christmas + record shopping:
Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot (remastered box)
William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops
Deep Wound - Deep Wound
Dinosaur L - 24 -> 24 Music
Godspeed! You Black Emperor - Hallelujah! Don't Bend, Ascend
Shoes - One in Versailles
Shoes - Bazooka
Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot
The Velvet Underground - Scepter Studio Sessions
A handful of thoughts on this stuff:
-The Basinski and Dinosaur L sets are fucking beautiful.
-Pisces is another well-done Pumpkins remaster. This shit sounds so much better.
-The Shoes reissues are really beautifully done as well. Need to listen to determine how they sound but they look great.
I went buckwild today throughout LA and got a bunch of stuff I've been interested in for some time:
Nails - Obscene Humanity 7"
Descendents - Everything Sucks
Hawkwind - Warrior On the Edge of Time (Red bootleg vinyl)
Royal Thunder - CVI
Municipal Waste - The Fatal Feast (Waste in Space) (green vinyl)
Pig Destroyer - Book Burner
Daughn Gibson - All Hell
The Germs - (GI) (180 Gram repress)
Faust - So Far (Four Men With Bears repress)
Ramones - Ramones (180 Gram repress)
From listening tonight:
Nails - Hot damn this is one hell of a 7". They pound out some next-level grind/death/hardcore stuff over the course of three songs, initially from their inaugural 12" and redone here in better quality and better performance. Ugly music played hideously.
Pig Destroyer - Definitely top 10 of the year. Probably top 5 to be honest. They just murder every riff, and somehow make a few catchy grindcore songs.
Ramones - Definitely top 10 of all time. Probably top 5 to be honest. One listen was enough to make me question why it took me so long to buy this album on vinyl. Not their best (Rocket To Russia) but definitely their most immediate and bracing.
Municipal Waste - I'd never heard them before, and they have a ton of fun on this. Drunken thrash metal with some hilarious lyrics. Beer and solos abound, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Faust - Goddamn I forgot how great this album is. I've owned the first one and IV for years, but this is the one where they hit their peak. Daddy, take the banana, tomorrow is Sunday.
Finally found an affordable new copy of Bjork's Post on vinyl from CDUniverse - $23 and it was their last copy. They say it was issued in 2007, so I don't know if it's the 180g reissue, or the limited 200g DMM, or neither, but I don't much care being that I've been looking for this album on vinyl for a while now.
2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012b, 2013a, 2014a
William Basinski - Shortwavemusic 1/4" tape reel on auris apothecary
hard to pass up as silly as it is on first glance.
oh and:
La Monte Young + Theatre Of Eternal Music - Raag Bhairava lp
La Monte Young - Untitled lp
i assume both are bootlegs... but whatever, never thought I'd own any proper la monte young records.
Last edited by wmgaretjax; 12-31-2012 at 04:36 PM.
Auris Apothecary cracks me up.
Cat Power - The Covers Record
Cold Cave - Cherish the Light Years
Earth - Earth 2
Murder City Devils - Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts
Television - The Blow-Up
I got the first four Ramones records when we did the draft to divvy up TomAz's collection in 2006. Those were the days.
Was in SLO over the weekend and stopped by a few stores:
Soft Cell - Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing
Augustus Pablo - King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown
Depeche Mode - Get The Balance Right! Combination Mix 12"
V/A: Those Shocking Shaking Days. Indonesian Hard, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock And Funk: 1970 - 1978
V/A: Attack of the Killer B's
Dropped by Burger's 50% off sale and picked up some solo Beatles LPs I would have usually brushed off:
Walls and Bridges
Sometime in New York City
Electronic Sound
They were originally priced higher than they should have been, but they're also in great condition.

As a cancer survivor, you may be dealing with the challenge of returning to your work schedule during and after cancer treatment. You may be working your normal schedule or a reduced schedule depending on your treatment and how you are feeling physically.
Or, you may have needed to stop working during treatment and return later. As you return to work, you may be concerned about continued fatigue, physical changes, and performing your usual job responsibilities.
As you plan to talk to your employer about your situation, here are a few suggestions to assist in your planning.
There are times when physical changes are obvious, such as loss hair loss during and following cancer treatment. You may be concerned about your appearance during this time. Consult with a hair and skin care specialist to put a plan in place to address these concerns early on.
Other concerns include worry about future medical insurance coverage from your employer. It's best to meet with your human resources representative and understand your current and future medical coverage as best you can early on.
With co-workers, be honest and share what you feel comfortable sharing. You may find great support and kindness come back to you during this time. Your work family is important and can be an incredible source of strength.
Feel free to share your experiences, ideas and resources related to this topic with each other through this blog.

I am almost finished with my cancer treatments and will be returning to work almost full time. I have worked a little here and there (I am a Realtor) so my schedule is flexible. What I want to share is the fact that my work 'family' was so supportive and helped ease my fear of coming back cause during chemo I lost all my hair, nor eye brows and eye lashes.Now I have a short hair style. My co-workers and my family love it. I said if I knew I would get this many compliments I would have cut my hair short years ago. Being around others is something that we all need especially a cancer survivor.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 Colon cancer in 2010 I had surgeon and then 9 months of chemo. The first two were tolerable, but the more I recd the worst I felt. Iwas lucky that I work for a very good canadian bank and I was off from work for a year with pay. I am back at work now, but feeling very tired at the end of each day. I now have chemo induced liver damage and high chloesterol.I am thinking very seriously of going on early retirement. Fortunely if I do, I would still be coverd under the banks medical insurance.
my husband doesnt know im writting this, but he is a survivor of testicular cancer(seminoma stage I).He went through 19 rounds of daily radiation. His boss was very understanding through it all and wanted him back. He has gone back to work and is so exhausted! He does carpentry and this is wearing him down. He is now experiencing late side affects. We love him so much and my 15 & 8 yr old break down @ times afraid that he may get sick again. We reasure them that the doctors have given him clean bill of health. We have no income right now and live with a friend so that we can get through this. On top of this we are raising a 20 mth old new son. God gives us many reasons to live and overcome! I hope each one of you find that reason and dont let go!
Thank you for sharing your stories and comments, both the good and the challenging. You all bring up important issues related to this difficult topic. One of the best things you can do as you face challenges in the workplace as a cancer survivor; is to ask questions, get assistance from your Human Resources department and others (especially for FMLA and disability laws that are meant to help you). Especially if your direct manager is not being supportive. As Marci mentioned, also ask for help from your cancer doctor. Many times, they can write a letter that describes your situation and any restrictions needed for recovery. Most of all, advocate for what is best for you to achieve the best outcome and recovery possible.
I was off work for 8 mths with breastcancer(stage III)surgery,chemo,radiation. Went back to work 1/2 time ended up working to many hours, had to take time off again. My doctor (bless her) told me to appy for Social security disability, cancer is a disabilty. Any of you who are off work for cancer treatment or unable to work after treatment contact social security and file for social security disabilty. There is no age requierment. I had a very stressfull job and less stress is good, cancer free since 2008 and I attribute a lot off this is due to not working! I hope this information helps anyone who needs it. Good luck and bless all of you.:)
I underwent key-hole surgery for prostate cancer in 2006 followed by radiation (IMRT) in 2008. Because I had built up a lot of sick leave, I was able to take off the considerable time needed for this treatment, as well as asociated counselling and physiotheraphy. It is critical that you clearly explain the impacts of cancer to your supervisors. Otherwise they will have little understanding of what cancer survivors go through, and the stresses that result upon their return to the workforce. Although this worked reasonably well, getting back to work was still quite difficult. I retired in late 2009. My health is very good and I am enjoying part time consulting work and the additional rest that it is bringing.
The one thing the article did not cover is the discrimination a cancer surivor or chemo patient must endure in filling out an job app or interview.
Being diagnosed with breast cancer was bad enough, but my boss and company actually made it worse.
I had to work ($) until the day before my mastectomy, so you can imagine the state I was in. The only person I told was my boss. So, I worked for 1 month under extreme stress (I think it worsened my cancer)
Then I told off a co-worker (f-word) and my boss suspended me without pay for 3 days. You know that actually hurt more than the cancer.
Do I dread going back..you betcha...I'll think about it tomorrow...
I worked through chemo and then through radiation and my boss did not accommodate me at all, except for allowing me a day off after chemo to recover. First chance he got after that, he laid me off. As it turned out, he did me a favor, since my cacer returned, and now I have the time to take care of myself without worrying about work and how tired I would be.
My doctor keeps saying only one more chemo and then when I see him there always seems to be another one. I had a reaction to more than one of the cancer drugs and so, with all the changes, the treatment keeps changing according to each drug. Still getting over the last chemo.
My boss is long out of the picture...I harbor no good feelings toward him. My coworkers were angels.
Aside from feeling sick and also GAINing weight, things are looking good. I sleep ALL the time. My little dogs and their needs get me up and running in the morning. I am fortunate to have a retired husband who takes care of me.
I was also very lucky to have an employer who chose to be flexible with my hours plus I had sick leave hours to use during recovery from surgery. I kind of fooled myself by thinking that since I didn't have a physically demanding job that I would make it through the treatments, surgery and recovery with few side and after affects. I missed little work in the grand scheme of things but wow what a toll it took in terms of fatigue. I will never again take for granted the ability to think and make clear headed decisions. As a supervisor of 20+ people and all their individual issues it was sometimes almost overwhelming to help them deal with their situations while I was hanging on by a thread dealing with my own. It has been about 9 months since chemo/radiation combo, then 2 surgeries, and sleep is still a very precious commodity. Strength and stamina recovery seems like it is to be gained back by an ounce or minute at a time. Yet I feel fortunate to be writing this now since I frequently read about folks who have it a lot harder than I.
I have a rare but treatable form of leukemia. Have had 12 treatments chemo first time and 1 treatment , continuous 24/7 second time. Been doing it since 1995. I'm lucky in big scope of things.. For me the recuperation from chemo has gotten harder each time from long term chronic fatigue. That being said, some employers will be understanding others will not. Please be aware that you must pay attention to everything that goes on around you. Yes title VII is supposed to protect people with disabilities of which cancer is one. But, in the past, ( hopefully Obama has fixed)if your company is self -insured they think like an insurance company and now we are a potential liability. Never tell a perspective employeer you have or are in remission from cancer. They donot need to know. You have done nothing wrong. Cancer is private to you just like HIPPA. They odds are against them hiring you if you tell them. Once employeed, be aware of your reviews not being as strong as they had been if HR is aware you have cancer. Remember , insurance companies have legally discriminated against us with a label of "preexisting condition". Self insured companies think the same way. "Preexisting condition" discrimination will go away with the new healthcare laws but not the corporations profit/loss mentality regarding same.If we relapse ,it effects their bottom line. I speak from experience and am fairly knowlegable on the topic.
In Augues of 2008 I was diagnosed with stage IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and was off work for 7 months. I work for a public university and they held my job. I came back to work 1 month after the all clear from my doctor and exhausted wasn't the word for it. But, my boss worked with me and made my return a very positive experience. I made sure that I got lots of sleep and continued with a healthy fruit and vegetable rich diet and had several weeks of physical rehab to build up my muscles from being bedridden for so long. It has been 18 months and I am still recovering and just last week was diagnosed with breast cancer and a recurrence of my lymphoma. So will be taking medical leave again and I am so blessed with a job that allows me that time without the worry of losing my job. Will continue with a healthy diet and exercise and hoping agianst hope that I don't lose my hair again! God Bless!
where were you 3 years ago i really could of used this info on making transition to work
I finished my 9 weeks of radiation treatment and I thought I did pretty good through it. I worked and my company worked with me all the way through it. I was honest with them and told them as much as I could. I have a physical job that my side affects and fatigue kicked in so I`m taking the month of May off. My company backed me up 100% and that makes me feel secure. I do have problems sleeping at night that is my biggest dilemma. Take it day by day, life is good and so is family, so I`ll deal with the side affects as long as I`m breathing..Good luck to everybody.
I just recieved the new news letter and I like reading and learning from it. 3 year lung cancer surviver, I tried going back to work but I could not as my employer put it preform the dutys i was hired for. It is hard to adjust to not working and to ask for help. But you just cant quit liveing, work is only a small part of life set new goals and keep going!!!
For me the trick has been knowing my limits. I have been working from home and putting in 7 hour days. Once chemo was finished, i planned to come back into the office one month later. What a disaster! My plan was to work half days in the office then half days at home but I got dragged into meetings or deadlines and ended up working full days in the office. I was exhausted by Friday. My COO and I worked out that I would come into the offfice only if necessary but that I would continue to work at home. Much better. Thank heavens they are flexible.

CHONG FUNG YI (Liza Wang) abandoned her eldest son immediately after he was born because she didn't want to be labeled as the woman who gave birth before she was even married.

Understanding Cholesterol Levels
Animation Copyright © Milner-Fenwick
When you first learned about your high cholesterol, your healthcare provider probably discussed several numbers with you. That's because your blood cholesterol is actually made up of several parts: your total cholesterol, your low density lipoproteins, or LDL; your high density lipoproteins, or HDL; and your triglycerides.
LDL is the cholesterol that clings to the walls of our blood vessels and forms plaque. This is the bad cholesterol.
HDL does not cling to blood vessel walls. In fact, it may even help remove some of the bad cholesterol. HDL is the good cholesterol.
Triglycerides are another type of fat found in the blood. These, too, can build up on artery walls.
High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, and specific cholesterol goals may depend on the presence of other heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure, smoking, being overweight, or a family history of heart disease or diabetes
In most cases, adults should aim for a total cholesterol level below 200.
When it comes to your LDL, lower numbers are the best numbers and the more risk factors you have, the lower your LDL goal is going to be.
If you have no risk factors for heart disease, or just one risk factor, an LDL level of 160 or below is a good goal.
If you have two or more risk factors, you should aim for below 130.
If you have heart disease, diabetes, or a very high risk of suffering a heart attack within the next ten years, your LDL level should be between 70 and 100, or maybe even lower.
When it comes to your HDL, the higher the better. At the very least, everyone should aim for an HDL level above 40, but a level above 60 is even better because it can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
A good goal for your triglyceride level is below 150.
Getting your cholesterol levels to where you want them involves more than just looking at the specific numbers. Many factors affect them, including: age, sex, family history, other health factors, and lifestyle. All of these things are looked at when determining the best treatment plan for you.

Being on linux for so long, I must be out of practise, gaming. I played a few minutes of half-life and felt motion sick. That never use to happen. :S
While playing TF2 tonight, what were people talking about?
Ways and how to install Ubuntu!
these words are synonyms:
Freedom Fighter (Positive) conflict party (neutral) Terrorist (negative)
a second example these words are also synonyms:
Alliance (Positive) Interest group (neutral) conspiracy (negative)
and its always the same: one side of the interest group call the other side: terrorist and they are always a part of a conspiracy
and these terrorists always call there allies a part of a Alliance and they think always they are freedom fighters.
this means if someone calls you a terrorist he is just a part of the other side means he is a part of the conspiracy the enemy of your Alliance and the truth is he is a terrorist against your freedom fighting.
I really want to play games on linux. I am not a gamer, I work on my computer so I really love Linux for its efficience. And for the few occasions I want to play I really don't want to pay Microsoft any penny built on software politics I despise.
So at lease I am going to support the move by paying for the games.
I can't believe people are so venomous in here. You all sound like a bunch of Richard Stallman clones.
If you don't want proprietary software on your systems at all, that's fine. Don't install or run Steam. Done.
There are tons of people switching to Linux these days because of major support like this. Even if these people will still use proprietary software, they will provide us with pressure for major companies to support the Linux platform and free software with it. On top of that, these people have moved from an entirely proprietary platform to an at least partially free software platform. In which way is this not positive?
For all the pirates in here - go fuck yourself. Either embrace the new gaming generation on your favourite platform or reject it wholly. Also, the software you'll be downloading from the pirate bay will still be proprietary.
Also, if you're using a Intel GPU, such as Ivy Bridge, you'll notice that Steam does not ask you to install any proprietary driver. It's simply recommending you install the most gaming-compatible driver because that's what Steam users care about. Of course you can still use Steam without installing them, and I have.
You seem to be very stupid. Maybe 80% of all Linux games on Steam have been in a Humble Bundle before, that means they have been available without DRM for a while. Many other games are only funny when you play em online in a team like Killing Floor, partly Serious Sam 3 and CS (S). I don't get why you don't want to pay for the extra features that Steam provides. It is certainly not impossible to replace the steam libs by stubs but you don't get the same experience - right now many games are not so expensive anyway. I personally have got no interest in most former HIB games. But if somebody wants to send me a gift of some FPS i would not say no I have got already Killing Floor, Serious Sam 3 - and bought several years ago: Half-Life and Counter Strike (1.6).


text: Black, all stock except jumbo frets (you're welcome). Since you may not be playing this guitar with 12 gauge flatwounds you may appreciate the infringement on its originality because it plays great. The original nut is in the case. Original Alnico neck pickup is the bomb tone wise. Great rockabilly tone in the bridge pickup it growls like your same year LP Jr. You remember of course these are all mahogany guitars. Really sexy, these seem good bargains in todays market. No breaks, honest light playing wear shows very well, plays even better. Comes with the original case, period correct curly cord and bridge adjust screw. $19,900 On Hold

Posts tagged 'act'
I'll try not to be too long-winded with my thoughts on one of the worst Internet-related bills ever conceived, so I'll get straight to the point. I do not apologize for my bluntness or disrespect for Congress or what might be perceived by some as the belittling of the entertainment industry.
SOPA, not the soup, but rather the (Stop Online Piracy Act) and it's mutant Senate sibling, PIPA (Protect IP Act) is the result of not only poorly written legislation but mostly sheer panic on the part of the motion picture and record label industries more commonly known as the MPAA and the RIAA respectively. These are 2 industries who are mad because they ignored the signs and failed to jump on the Information Super-Highway Bandwagon back when it was starting to take off. They are in a state of terror right now because their profits are in the billions instead of tens-of-billions. So they're stacking large piles of money on the desks of the corrupt, clueless imbeciles on Crapitol Hill. These are old, out-of-touch, stuffy, greedy, dickheads who can barely operate their Blackberry phones, let alone legislate the Internet. You ever gotten a call from Grandpa or Grandma because they don't know how to send an E-Mail after they've typed it? Yeah… that's Congress and the US Supreme Court.
SOPA and PIPA would mean the end of existence for sites like Wikipedia and YouTube. Sites that have accomplished something amazing and are now engrained in our society and have become common nomenclature for our everyday lives. Wikipedia is the largest, most vast encyclopedia ever created. YouTube is more than just a site to see some obnoxiously giggly girl filming her emo boyfriend getting kicked in the balls by his skinny jeans-wearing buddy. It's become what I like to call a "cultural archive". You can find anything there. Obscure songs, movie trailers, old commercials, newscast recordings, etc. These are not copyright violations, this is our way of appreciating and documenting this content. Case in point, the last 20-minutes of our 192nd episode. If SOPA had its way, that would be pulled down because we played "copyrighted" board game commercials from our childhood off of YouTube.
I'll never understand this "not on my watch" mentality the movie and music industry has these days. The old fogies that run these industries refuse to understand that their business models simply don't work anymore. Instead of embracing the Internet, they've shunned it and are now pissed off that they've become the laughingstock of the web. They make music and movies, but they don't want anyone to enjoy them. They try… oh boy do they try to keep up the old ways. They cut deplorable deals with Netflix who then gets collectively cussed at for trying to alter their DVD service to keep subscription numbers down so that their licensing fees stay low and they can then pass those savings onto their customers. Granted "Qwikster" was a terrible idea. But the company's heart was in the right place. Ever wonder why Frank Sinatra's "Love And Marriage" song has been replaced on Netflix and the DVD's with a Casio cool-sounding cut of unfitting tunery? Because the licensing fees for it were too high!!! REALLY??? It's a fuckin' song from the 50's… you got your god-damned royalties for 50 years. Just let the people enjoy it for Christ sake! And here's a news flash… when people hear that song, they think of the Fox sitcom. Not the record company who released it, or the guys who wrote it who I can't even look up because Wikipedia has blacked itself out today for this protest!!!!
Bottom line… change is coming. I know you're scared MPAA and RIAA, but you know what? There are other ways of increasing your revenue. Here are some examples… stop making shitty content (i.e. movie remakes, or movies based on other things like books, games and comics, CD's that are auto-tuned on every track because the idiot Barbie doll you got to sing them can't hold a note, etc.) Here's another… stop paying actors so much money. If they love the craft so much, they'll work for union scale. Not to put any one actor on blast, but we know of many that command… or rather DE-mand tens-of-millions per film. You're not worth that. Your job is not that hard. Crab fishing in the Bering Sea, that's hard. Serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan, that's hard. Imagine the millions a studio would save out of the gate if they hired that struggling waiter with an equally impressive 6-pack to play Marvel's Green Lantern instead of Ryan Reynolds. Imagine how much money it would've made if they didn't rely on complacent union writers and instead hired a writer who knew the Marvel universe and could've written a GOOD script that was well received by comic fans who in-turn told their friends to see it too. I get it, everyone needs to make money. And I agree. But you don't have to make so damned much, especially if you're a giant corporation. Why can't you be happy with $3-billion in profit instead of $4-billion? There are other, less annoying, not-so-stingy ways of maintaining your copyright without killing the Internet.
I digress… I read a headline yesterday that SOPA is being shelved… for now. Not canceled or eliminated, just shelved. President Obama says he'd veto it if passed. That's fine, but what about when he leaves office. What if the president after him supports ending free speech and expression online? What if that president takes the envelope stuffed with money from MPAA and RIAA lobbyists? In that case… I guess we're boned and you won't be able to look up this little posting and have a good laugh years from now.
Tell Congress they're being stupid as usual.
