Old roses, perennials, annuals, seeds. Specialists in this, specialists in that, the great and the gardening good descend on these events. The sun was shining, the thermometer in the twenties, a perfect day.
This particular pépinière were one time holders of the national collection of Pelargoniums. We were so tempted by the huge array of amazing scented leaf varieties but in the end plumped for a pretty purple flowered specimen.
Our new favourite pelargonium in situ at chez nous. Beautiful. Roll on May!

HOM will be open this Sunday (and every Sunday) during the Swarthmore Fun Fair.
If you need a break from that action, come say hello. We will have our craft supplies on hand to play with.
What's the Fun-Fair?
This is an all-charity event where charities and non-profits create fun events in their booths and guests pay to participate, and help raise money for the charities. Our theme is "Having Fun Helping Others". The Fun-Fair is managed by the Rotary Club of Swarthmore on behalf of Swarthmore Town Center, Inc.
There will be continuous entertainment on each of the four raised sound stages around the Village. Typically, 12 groups and individuals provide 3 hours of marvelous music, dance and acts throughout the Town Center.
From noon on, the Food Court will be serving a wide array of wonderful snacks and mouth-watering food and (non-alcoholic) drinks. Everything from roast pig to Chinese to excellent deli offerings to good ol' hot dawgs to pastries and more.
Who's coming?
Over 100 charities and non-profits in our region are invited to have a booth.

Shelley Schreiber Ceramic Art
Home page Shelley Schreiber Ceramic Artist
My goal as a ceramic artist is to create fluid, expressive, enduring work that explores subtlety combined with underlying complexity. I work primarily with porcelain for its sensual character and strength and how it reveals gesture and color so beautifully. I straddle the fence between sculptural and functional objects, making one-of-a-kind thrown and altered vessels as well as sculpture.
Please Enjoy!

Texas Democrat Al Green Calls for the Impeachment of Donald Trump
Texas Rep. Al Green called for President Donald Trump's impeachment on the House floor on Wednesday.
Green's call for impeachment follows a New York Times report that Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey—who he fired last week—to stop investigating Michael Flynn, the administration's former National Security Adviser. According to the Times, Comey wrote a memo after meeting with Trump the day after Flynn resigned, following revelations that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations regarding sanctions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Comey wrote in the memo that Trump asked him to "let this go" regarding Flynn, according to the Times.

Range View Elementary:
Dear Range View Families:
As we think about the upcoming school year, we continuously reflect on our practice and strive to prepare our students to be knowledgeable and inquiring individuals in an ever-changing world. Opportunities that we provide our students at Range View are framed around concepts, skills, attitudes, and action. To meet our goals, it is critical that our students collaborate, think deeply, question, problem solve, and innovate. To support our students with this, it is imperative that we afford access to materials and tools.
Last year, we successfully collected donations in lieu of school supplies for grades 1st-5th and we would like to continue with this same plan for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year. Preschool and Kindergarten students will have a traditional school supply list which can be found on our website.
We would like to ask that each family make a monetary donation in the suggested amount of $30 per child instead of purchasing school supplies. The donations will cover the cost of bulk school supplies as well as help increase our Chromebook access and provide for maintenance, repairs, replacement, and sustainability of technology tools used by your student(s).
Donations in the form of cash/check can be made at our main office when students return in August. Please make checks payable to Range View Elementary. We will keep you informed as we work to reach our goal of one-to-one Chromebook access as well as other ways we are able to support student learning.
Thank you for helping us support your children and please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
Kelly Johnson, Principal

Influence and Averages
We are products of our environment. Jim Rohn is responsible for the well-known quote, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with". Are these people positive influences? Do they have the same values, drives and ambition as you? Do they support you in what you do and achieving your goals? Do they inspire you to do more with your life? If you surround yourself with positive, driven and focused people, those qualities will influence you in a good way. Surround yourself with lazy and unmotivated people that will rub off on you too.
The flipside to that is. You are one of those 5 people to someone else. Are you a good influence? Do you help the people around you reach their potential? Sometimes we focus so much on ourselves and what we need to do, we forget that we influence other people. If you're constantly negative and complaining that life is tough and how you're struggling, the people around you are also influenced by that. That's not saying you always have to be a ray of sunshine or nice. We all have challenges, but how do we handle them. Do you get annoyed or complain a bit, then get over it and do something about it? Or do you just complain and wallow in your sorrows. We also don't have to be a supportive and focusing on the good, we also need friend who call us on our bullshit to help us be better. We all want to grow and our environment plays a huge role in that. If we do well and focus on growing and improving we set an example and provide a positive influence for those around us. If we surround ourselves with similar people we help ourselves and others grow.
So be a positive influence on those around you. Surround yourself with people who have a good influence on you and live the way you want to. Nobody is perfect though and no one is going to be exemplary in every way. We all have flaws, but how we improve is firstly wanting to improve, secondly our environment (people, lifestyle, media we consume). Finally be honest, with yourself and your friends. We can only do something about the things we know about. What you say may not be "nice" but as long as its sincere and your reason for doing so is to help that person.
Grow and help others grow.

Hope for census figures to spark more funding
The Mackay Regional Council says new census figures could attract increased government funding for the region.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the results of the 2011 census later today, the data is used to allocate $45 billion of funding around the country.
Councillor Dave Perkins says it will officially document the region's rapid population growth.
"When the census comes out, we know we're growing, both the state and federal governments know we're growing but they don't think we're growing as fast as we're growing, so that's going to be of major benefit in terms of getting funding going forward," he said.
"It's all about infrastructure as we all know, so I think that's the big thing is waiting to see what happens with the census so we can move forward on that."

text: Hey, fine readers. Saturday, September 10, marks the newest installment of Lit Crawl, which drags word lovers from venue to venue to hear authors read. At 6 p.m., I'll be heading to Jimmy's No. 43 to read a few words about beer, the art of gettin' drunk and the ensuing shenanigans. Come check it out and kick back an IPA or three with me. The full details are here.

Brit and Caleb celebrated their engagement with an evening party in both the Stardust room and Moon Deck of the Carnivale Building. 80 family and friends attended the elegantly styled carnival themed event. A candy bar was positioned along the wall with a smorgasbord of lollies for guests young and old to enjoy throughout the night.
The happy couple chose a cocktail style food service which consisted of quality gourmet finger food served by our catering partner – 'Going Gourmet' – which catered for both child and adult tastes.
But as you would guess the biggest hit was the DJ and dancing which got the crowd grooving to the music until the end of the night.
Thank you so much for organising everything for us so well. You did a wonderful job and we will definitely recommend that people consider Luna Park for their next celebration.Louise Trist

Mariners Insider Blog
Let's Help the New Mariners GM - Whoever That Will Be - By Compiling A List of Managerial Candidates
Among the coaches let go after the season ended was Art Howe, the former Mets and Athletics manager who spent his last few seasons with Texas.
That immediately makes him a candidate to manage in Seattle.
It's the off-season, and job candidates are named in rumor, not reality.
No one really knows who the Mariners Top 10 is in their search for a GM, but if you read the papers or check the blogs, the same names apear everywhere.
Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong will interview most of the obvious candidates, but believing they don't have a few that aren't on the media's list is silly.
And without knowing who the new GM will be, it's probably absurd to start compiling a list of managerial candidates ...
So let's do it, anyway.
Here's a start:
Joey Cora's name has come up - in the media - and for no good reason. He's a coach because he's Ozzie Guillen's good friend, period.
But, to start a list of candidates, include Cora because once played here, and Howe, because he once managed against Seattle.
OK, that's Cora, Howe ...
Add Bobby Valentine, because his name is always mentioned, even though he hasn't managed in this country for years.
How about a current pitching coach? They've been hot candidates the last few years, and Bud Black is liked so much in San Diego they kept him as manager even afte a disastrous '08 season.
So let's throw in a name: Arizona's Bryan Price, who started his career in Seattle.
Knows pitching, knows players, knows the game and worked under Lou Piniella and Bob Melvin.
There's your start: Cora, Howe, Valentine and Price.
Add to it. We can't have the new Mariners GM showing up without handing him or her a list of managerial candidates.
Think deeply. Cough up some names.

{friendship} An Update to the Penpal Project
When I started The Penpal Project back in March, I had absolutely no idea how it would be received. In my heart, I hoped it would possibly reach a handful of women...but wow! I have been humbled and awed by the response. Since March 1 when the post went live, I have carefully and prayerfully created over two dozen packages for Mammas around the country. Almost four months later and I am reaching the last handful of women on the list. Colleen, Heather, Ashley, Dixie, Robin and Janet: you haven't been forgotten! You'll have surprises headed your way soon :)
The Penpal Project and its response has solidified my thinking that we Mammas are seeking the same things: friendship and support. In a world where we feel undervalued and often alone, an act as simple as a package in the mail can make all the difference in a woman's life. And how beautiful and easy is that!
So that leads me to the next question: What's next? I have many ideas swirling in my head, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this outreach can grow. Please, please share in the comments!
Finally, to my Penpal Project mammas: Thank you for allowing me to bring a little joy to your day.

{i want to remember} - 6/5/13
I can't believe the last time I wrote one of these posts was last September! Jotting down a few of the little things in my life right now...
I WANT TO REMEMBER... how our Little Miss gets a twinkle in her eye when she gives you a "kiss" and then proceeds to chomp down on your lip with her two little teeth.
I WANT TO REMEMBER... the utterly exhausting adventure that is raising brothers. They bicker often and sometimes there are tears, from them and sometimes even from me. But that moment where M declares that D is his "best friend in the whole world"? Or I hear J say, "Good job, Mi-mol!" while they play a computer game? Or I find the three of them in bed together reading books? Those make it all worthwhile.
I WANT TO REMEMBER... "bacon date nights" with my husband. You mean you don't watch movies with a half pound of bacon to share? :)
I WANT TO REMEMBER... this time in my life as I have begun to LOVE exercise. I am alternating days with running and weight training, six days a week. My diet is mostly clean, but also realistic. I feel strong and like I can take on the world. Dreaming big dreams and planning to run a half marathon next spring.
I WANT TO REMEMBER... what a blessing the Penpal Project has been in my life. Since March, I have sent out almost two dozen packages to sweet Mammas around the country. And more to go! I feel so honored to have the opportunity to spread joy to these amazing ladies.

September has been Italy's most uncertain month, with questions about whether the Parliament will pass an austerity package, if that package will be stringent enough and how
There's also this: what sort of celebration will the country's epically libidinous emperor — sorry, prime minister — orchestrate for his 75th birthday? Silvio Berlusconi's big milestone is about two weeks away, and you have to assume he'll pull out all the stops, but you also have to wonder what stops are left to be pulled. The man hasn't been shy about sating himself.
As we now know, thanks to his current trial on charges of paying for sex with a minor, he regularly assembles veritable harems of young women for bacchanals with a dress code that could be described as whimsical. He calls them "bunga bunga" parties, which has no particular translation and no need of one. The hormonal gist comes through.
The bunga allegations grabbing headlines last week were that Berlusconi, in moments of pulchritudinous piety, was treated to lap dances from women attired as nuns. This followed claims that he received ministrations from women outfitted as nurses. And it's said that Italy is a chauvinistic society! For Berlusconi, no profession is beyond a woman's pantomime.
We Americans have found great entertainment in all of this — lengthy Berlusconi exposés appeared recently in The New Yorker and Vanity Fair — because it's lurid, yes, but also because it's reassuring. Our own political madness pales beside his triple-X opera buffa.Continue reading the main story
But we shouldn't just gape and laugh. His country's path from glorious to ridiculous, paved in part by his carnal and legal distractions, threatens the financial stability of Europe, and benefits no one. Beyond that, Italy presents a cautionary tale for many immodestly privileged Western democracies that have been lulled by comfort into complacency; have let too much silliness create too much damage; and haven't held leaders to adequate account.
Ours is one of them. America is in some ways a petit guignol version of Italy. We also coast on the accomplishments of yesteryear. Also neglect our infrastructure. Also watch young people struggle. Also waste precious time while lawmakers behave in petty, self-serving fashions. Also let money corrupt politics.
Money is Berlusconi's lance, his armor, his steed, his everything. A billionaire many times over, he uses it to engender loyalty, and his business empire reaches deep into the image-burnishing and opinion-manipulating realms of television, journalism and publishing. At the end of a long interview years ago, he asked me if a recent book of mine had been distributed in Italy. It hadn't.
"Would you like it to be?" he said.
But Italians have had his number for a while, and have seen their country's economy stagnate and debt rise over the last decade. And Berlusconi, in power for much of the last 17 years, has made minimal progress on necessary
So how does he last? I asked many smart, concerned Italians that question, and was told that Italians have been too slow to take a hard enough look at his shenanigans, and allowed him to entrench himself.
The opposition, meantime, hasn't mustered the maturity to move past its fractiousness and make him go away.
"The fact remains that there's no alternative," Giuliano Pisapia, Milan's new mayor, told me.
In a country with such treasure and beauty, maybe hardship is dulled and the situation hasn't become quite bad enough.
I asked Mario Calabresi, a celebrated Italian journalist, why young Italians, whose unemployment rate is estimated to be about 27 percent, weren't protesting on the scale of the "indignados," or indignant, who crowd public squares in
"You're indignado, but not so indignado that you'd rather go to the square than to the restaurant," he said as we sipped espresso on a cobbled piazza in
Still he hasn't given up his belief that Italians will pull it together. Neither has the mayor of Florence, Matteo Renzi, an emerging center-left star.
"If Italians decide they really want to change 20 years of immobility, silence and political scandals, we have a future," he said Monday in his
"It's not easy to work here," he added, "because you're surrounded by the past. But I want to believe the most beautiful page in Florence's history hasn't been written." I hope that's true for all of Italy. For us, too.Continue reading the main story

Digital Etiquette Dos and Don'ts Everyone Needs to Know
If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't type it in the comments.
In an increasingly digital world, we encounter countless moments each day that require a new etiquette rulebook. Whether it's communication via email or the comments section (more on that below), there are plenty of opportunities to employ appropriate digital etiquette and, in the process, make the Internet a more pleasant place to learn and engage. While we haven't written the book (yet), here's a primer on the dos and don'ts of interacting in the digital space.
Email Etiquette
When composing an email, clarity is essential. In terms of tone, steer clear of sarcasm unless you know the recipient well. Certain tones don't always accurately translate through email and can create confusion on the receiving end of the message. It's also important to proofread your emails. Be clear and concise in your language, and avoid typos and grammatical mistakes. (There's also an argument to be made for avoiding excessive use of exclamation points.)
The first messages exchanged in any email thread should be formatted like a letter, so don't forget a subject line, a salutation, and a signature. This scaffolding is especially important when emailing with colleagues, business associates, and anyone you don't know well. In those emails, err on the side of professionalism and also avoid slang and abbreviations. On the other hand, when emailing back and forth with family and friends, any and all points of email formatting etiquette are up for debate (and probably fell away a long time ago, which is just fine). Context is key.
On the subject of emailing, there's one thing our moms always told us: Don't write down anything you wouldn't want the whole world to read. This is especially helpful in terms of digital correspondence, because private messages can become public in an instant. On that note: Be careful when using the "reply" and "reply all" features in an email thread. If you accidently reply to everyone, annoyance (at the very least) and disaster (at the very most) may ensue.
For further reading, we also have a few opinions on the subject of thank-you notes sent via email.
Internet Comment Etiquette
When leaving a comment, it's important to ask yourself: Is this clear? It it concise? Is it necessary? If the comment isn't all three of those things, you may want to rethink it. Also, if you're addressing someone directly, be sure to tag them appropriately so that they can see the comment and respond. And proofread. Always proofread.
The number one rule of Internet etiquette is an easy one: If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't type it in a comment. When wading into the comments section, be intentional about being respectful, and stay on topic. If there's a misunderstanding in the comments, it's probably best to leave it alone. If someone addresses you or responds negatively to a comment you've made, you most likely don't need to say anything. Responding just adds fuel to a thread that probably needs to fizzle out anyway. In the immortal lyrics of Sir Paul McCartney: Let it be.
Also remember: Comments sections are public. Anyone can (and will) read what you've written, and those comments are reflections on you, the commenter. If you write something negative or unhelpful about someone, that person will probably read it. (So be respectful.)
Social Media Etiquette
It's easy to over-share when it comes to engaging with social media. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram prompt us to create, share, and engage with content constantly. That's why it's important to be aware of your online activity. What are you sharing? Who are you sharing it with? Be sure to think through what you're saying and how you're saying it, because when you put something out there, whether it's an opinion or a photo, it ricochets through the digital world and can have an impact in the wider world too. There are human beings on other side of social media accounts, so avoid negativity, ill-considered posts, and careless language. If you're a citizen of the Internet, be a good one.
Also be careful with private information, double check security and privacy settings, and think about what you're sharing, because when something goes online, it doesn't ever really come off. Conduct yourself appropriately, and be mindful of both over-sharing and over-posting.
Texting Etiquette
Texting etiquette continues to evolve, but there are some best practices that are constant. Number one on that list? Don't be an absent texter. You should respond to texts as soon as possible. While it's tempting to read a text and put your phone down, when you decide to respond later, it often leads to forgetting to respond entirely. Respond promptly or move the conversation to a different mode of communication.
When interacting with people face-to-face, refrain from texting someone else. This is especially important during mealtimes. Don't multi-task your relationships. Being present where you are means telling the texter that you're busy at the moment and will respond as soon as you can, i.e.: when you're not in the middle of a face-to-face conversation.
In texting interactions, context is also important. Depending on the conversation, sometimes single-word answers or long-winded messages are inappropriate. Know with whom you're texting, evaluate the situation, think about how the text will read on the other end of the line, and respond appropriately.
And, as always: When in public spaces and at events, be sure to set your phone to silent. Texting alerts may be fleeting, but the disruption they create lasts much longer than the initial ding.

2016 was the first year more movies were streamed than played on DVDs. Amazing, since DVDs were first invented in 1995 by Panasonic, Philips, Sony and Toshiba. Of course, other formats had been around for a number of years before that. Hmm, over the hill at the tender young age of 22.
The first basic cable
network, launched via satellite in 1976, was Ted Turner's
superstation WTCG. A May 2017 study from Fluent LLC asked
internet users about their cable and TV habits. Across age
groups, 67 percent of people reported using a video streaming
service, such as Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime video. Cable
subscriptions, which peaked during 2000, was reported by 61
percent of responders.
Incidentally, during
2008, cable subscribers had 129 channels to choose from, and
they watched an average of 17 channels in a given week. Five
years later, they had 189 channels, and were still watching
only 17.5. Their bills have doubled or more since 2000.

The God Who Is For Us! Series
Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 5, 2011 (message contributor)
Summary: God is at work in you, helping you become all He wants you to be, as one of His people! God's work in us is so much greater than our work in us could ever be!
The God Who Is for Us!
Intro: 5-year-old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn't want to go in alone: "It's dark in there and I'm scared." She asked again, and he gave the same answer. She smiled and said, "It's OK – Jesus will be in there with you." Johnny walked hesitantly to the door and slowly opened it. He peeked inside, saw that it was dark and started to leave…and then an idea came to him and he asked this question: "Jesus, if you're in there, would you hand me a can of tomato soup?"
-Life is filled with questions, isn't it? Some questions make us laugh while others make us scratch our heads. Here are a few that I've come across…
1. If you throw a cat out a car window, does it become kitty litter?
2. If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?
3. Why do we press harder on a remote when we know the batteries are going dead?
4. When a cow laughs, does milk come out its nose?
5. Why do they put Braille on the number pads of drive-through teller machines?
6. What do they use to ship Styrofoam?
7. Is it possible to be totally partial?
8. How do they get deer to cross at that yellow road sign?
9. If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
10. Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
-On top of these really deep questions, you may have some questions about CLC. If you're new here you may wonder what the next step is for you. Here's a pathway for you to follow. Start with Sundays and then plug into a Sunday Bible class or a Bible Study group. This will help you connect with others who can encourage and help you grow spiritually. After joining a group, then look for somewhere to serve. We believe that this will help you connect with Jesus and it will equip you to become a growing and faithful follower.
-Some of you may have some questions about our Sunday morning worship services. Why do we do what we do? What does it all mean?
-As we come to the end of Romans 8, Paul fires a load of questions. See if you can spot them as we read the passage.
Romans 8:31-39 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died-- more than that, who was raised to life-- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-Most of these questions are rhetorical in nature and do not need a response because the answer is or should be self-evident. Here is the main idea that Paul is bringing across in these verses: God is for us, not against us, and there is no person or situation that can separate us from His amazing love!
-Let's look at the implications of this as Paul spells them out.
1. Because God is for us, the opposition will not win!
Romans 8:31b: "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
-There will always be opposition, but who are they in comparison to God? Nobody can stand against God and win! It may look like they are winning sometimes, but that is because we do not see the bigger picture.
-We find some encouraging words in the Bible about God's people prevailing against their enemies who wish to destroy them.
Joshua 1:5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Palliative Care
Sutradhar R, et al. Cancer. 2017;doi:10.1002/cncr.30839.
Cancer survivors, even those 10 years or longer past diagnosis, had 1.22-times higher prescription opioid use than matched individuals without a history of cancer, according to results of a population-based study.
"Our study indicates that the prevalence of chronic pain for cancer survivors may continue to be higher, and remain higher over time, compared [with] people with no history of cancer," Rinku Sutradhar, PhD, senior scientist at Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto, Canada, and associate professor at the University of Toronto, told HemOnc Today. "This may be because of the cancer itself, or due to the effects of treatment."
Opioids can relieve moderate to severe pain arising from cancer and its treatment. However, a risk for dependency is high, which is why it's important to have a plan for how to manage any ongoing pain once individuals are cancer free, Sutradhar said.
"For some survivors, being cancer free doesn't necessarily mean being pain free, for a variety of reasons," Sutradhar said. "Pain lingering during survivorship could be associated with factors such as type and invasiveness of tumors, the type of treatments other illnesses that may coincide with the cancer, as well as other aspects of the patient's life, such as their age, work situation, socioeconomic status and so forth."
No data are available detailing the prevalence of persistent pain among adult cancer survivors.
"We also know that socio-economically disadvantaged populations are more at risk for opioid dependency, but previous studies have not examined cancer survivors who are a part of this disadvantaged group, so this is an important knowledge gap to fill," Sutradhar said.
Thus, Sutradhar and colleagues evaluated health records of 8,600 cancer survivors 5 or more years past their diagnosis (median, 10 years past diagnosis; interquartile range, 7-16) in Ontario, Canada, who were recipients of the Ontario Drug Benefits Program (ODB).
"The ODB is the Ontario pharmacare program that is available to people younger than 65 years who receive social assistance or whose drug costs are determined to be high relative to their household income," Sutradhar said.
Researchers matched patients 1:1 to 8,600 controls without cancer who also were residents of Ontario and in the ODB program.
The study — conducted from 2010 to 2012 — excluded patients who experienced a cancer recurrence or a second malignancy.
The researchers linked administrative health databases held at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences to assess any differences in the patterns of opioid use among cancer survivors compared with controls, taking into account the specific type of cancer diagnosis, other comorbidities, demographic factors and other factors.
Survivors demonstrated a significantly higher crude rate of opioid prescriptions than controls (relative rate = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.21-1.23).
After multivariate adjustment, the relative rate for opioid prescription remained 1.22 times greater among survivors (relative rate = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.11-1.33).
The higher prescription rate among survivors persisted whether they were 5 to 10 years past diagnosis (relative rate = 1.19; 95% CI, 1.04-1.36) or 10 years or longer past diagnosis (relative rate = 1.24; 95% CI, 1.09-1.42).
By the end of the study, survivors showed a higher mean cumulative number of opioid prescriptions filled (7.7 vs. 6.3; P < .0001).
Lower income, younger age, living in a rural neighborhood and having more comorbidities appeared linked to higher prescribing rates, whereas sex did not appear associated with prescription rates.
Researchers found no significant increase in opioid use for breast cancer survivors. Survivors of lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary or gynecological cancers demonstrated more prominent opioid use than controls.
Survivors are often discharged from an oncology clinic after no recurrence after 5 years, Sutradhar said, suggesting that family physicians treating survivors should look closely at the reasons for ongoing opioid use among their cancer survivors.
"It may be important for cancer survivors to consider being cared for by specialized pain management teams that can offer a more integrative and holistic approach that includes a combination of drug therapy with opioids, along with physical therapy, regular exercise, and psychosocial interventions," Sutradhar said. – by Melinda Stevens

These 3 girls have been inspiring me all winter long. Emily Chessell, Lesley Upshall & Jaimie Montgomery are busy moms - each having 2 or 3 kids - they work, keep their lives in order - plus find time to exercise. They have been joining me for TRX class every Monday through the winter. These 3 inspire me because I know what it's like to walk out of a house with kids everywhere and go and do something for yourself. It's not easy and there can be a million excuses and other things you could be doing.
But really exercising helps you create that balance in your life. If you feel good you handle stresses better, you keep yourself feeling and looking great, and you are being a great role model for your family.
Thanks girls for joining our classes (and for the laughs on the side) you are all inspiring for all moms out there.
Cheers to all those moms who join us every week! Have a wonderful weekend!

General Idea, AIDS (A Project for the Public Art Fund, Inc.), 1989, 4, 500 posters placed in the New York subway system, one card in every second carriage. Courtesy of the artists.
In the network society everyone puts together their own city. Naturally this touches on the essence of the concept of public domain. The modern city is most easily understood as an archipelago of enclaves, and if the citizen is continuously occupied with maintaining his or her own small network with as little possible friction with other groups, then that does indeed ostensibly spell the demise of any form of public domain. However, that is not how the private space of the archipelago resident looks.The paradoxical fact is that many people are still searching for that experience of intensely felt public places. Public domain is, in our firm opinion, not so much a place as an experience. Public domain experiences occur at the boundary between friction and freedom. On the one hand there is always the tension of a confrontation with the unfamiliar; on the other, the liberation of the experience of a different approach. In the main, our public domain experiences are in fact related to entering the parochial domain of 'others'.

When we put the AIDS posters in the New York subway system, we were interested in the fact that they passed through every geographic and ethnic barrier within the urban context.

Throughout their three decades of activity, the Canadian artists' collective General Idea crossed through various cultural boundaries and discursive systems, presciently understanding the art world as a microcosm of the broader popular culture, and in the process redefined what it meant for visual artists to generate new kinds of public-domain experiences.

Phone makers will seek to seduce new buyers with even smarter Internet-connected watches and other wireless gadgets as they wrestle for dominance at the world's biggest mobile fair starting Monday.
Along with the launches of numerous new smartphones – dominated by South Korean giant replique montre – tech firms are trying to conquer users' bodies and connect their environments.
Several makers are set to unveil new "smartwatches", some of which will have users chattering into their cuffs or getting on-wrist email updates, at the four-day Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in northeastern Spain.
Tech executives and regulators will meanwhile seek to chart a course for a new age of wireless networks that could lead to billions of objects being connected, from cars to refrigerators.
"It's a showpiece for smartphones in the short term, but it'll go way beyond smartphones," said Nigel Major, a top executive at tech group Laird.
"The most exciting trend we can see is the proliferation of connected devices everywhere we go. Ten years from now, virtually everything you're looking at will have the potential to be connected."
'Wearable' gadgets
On Sunday evening, Samsung is expected to unveil its rolex submariner replica smartphone, the larger Galaxy S6 Edge "phablet", and the latest in its series of watches.
Samsung is the world's biggest seller of smartphones but saw its share of the world market fall in 2014 from 34 percent to 20 percent, according to research group IDC.
It faces a squeeze by Chinese phone makers rolex Day Date replica on one side and on the other by US titan Apple, which released its iPhone 6 last year.
Apple, as usual, is steering clear of the show in Barcelona, but is set to launch its own smartwatch in April.
Several other Asian heavyweights also plan launches of "wearable" gadgets on the eve of the congress, such as Korean firm LG, Chinese contender Huawei and Taiwanese makers Asus and HTC.
Designers have come up with numerous gadgets that can connect to an application on your mobile, from popular "fitness tracker" wristbands to measure your heart rate to sex toys.
Now they hope some big product launches this year can make smartwatches a mainstream gadget and boost sales of other wearables.
This year could be a "tipping point for wearables", research firm CCS Insight said rolex Milgauss replica in a report.
In Barcelona, "low-cost smartphones will feature prominently, as will wearables", it said. "We expect an avalanche of new products."
The road to 5G
Mobile telephones are a massive business – 2.1 billion people, or one person in three in the world, owned one hublot replica watches in 2014, according to Linda Sui, an analyst at global tech consultancy Strategy Analytics.
But the battle for profits is shifting away from the handset to other connected objects, experts say.
"The wearable market is really going to expand because the smartphone market has reached a saturation point in developed markets," said Kevin Curran, a replica rolex; specialist at the University of Ulster.
"So they have to be seen to be doing something else."
On a larger scale, companies and experts in Barcelona will be mulling what leaps forward in wireless coverage and technology are hublot replica needed to create a new "5G" generation of super-fast and secure wireless connections.
"The path to 5G and the battle for early leadership will be one of the show's hottest topics," said Wood.
Standards have yet to be hammered out, but the mobile consortium organising the congress, GSMA, says future 5G connections could support functions such as connected cars and traffic systems.
It "will further transform the lives of individuals, businesses and panerai replica societies around the world", said the GSMA's director general, Anne Bouverot.

(Matchday 18 Preview)
Matchday 18 of the 2016/17 Greek SuperLeague features some of the league's biggest clubs in challenging away fixtures.
Leaders Olympiacos head to Veria on Sunday night facing off against a side looking to steer clear of a relegation battle. Second place Panionios will do well to come away with the three points against an always difficult Asteras Tripolis.
AEK, seemingly rejuvenated in the early days of Manolo Jimenez's return to the club, travels to test themselves against a Xanthi who have been hugely impressive this season.
Besides Xanthi, Panathinaikos are the only other side in the top 7 that has a home fixture this weekend. Marinos Ouzounidis will expect his team collects nothing but the three points against a struggling Levadiakos.
PAOK and PAS Giannina, both neck and neck in the race for 5th place and the last playoff spot also have away trips to negotiate. PAOK go to Agrinio to play Panetolikos for whom Makis Chavos will make his debut on the bench. PAS Giannina will be up against a tough Atromitos team on Sunday afternoon.
Elsewhere, two matches with some relegation connections occur. Iraklis are running out of time and need a victory against Larisa on Saturday. Kerkyra will look to keep up a recent good spell by grabbing a result in a tough place as they travel to Chania to match up against Platanias.

|Sat, 28-Jan
The AGONAsport Match of the Week has to be Xanthi versus AEK. Xanthi went down to defeat at leaders Olympiacos last weekend, but without a whole host of regular players, some of who will return this weekend. Despite two recent losses to Olympiacos, Xanthi's season has gone from strength to strength and their current second place position is proof of this team's strength and consistency. Joint leading scorer in the SuperLeague, Younes Hamza, returns for Xanthi for this crunch clash. There are injury concerns though. Xanthi will be without Manolis Papasterianos, Petros Orfanidis, and Okan Hatziterzoglou, all battling various injuries.
Manolo Jimenez has breathed fresh life into AEK since rejoining the team last week. Though his second spell at the club is in its infancy, the Spaniard is 2-for-2 since coming to the Kitrinomavri. Wins against Asteras in the SuperLeague and Levadiakos in the Greek Cup have not been completely unexpected, but there does appear to a new verve surrounding the team. The club's newest addition, Argentine striker Sergio Araujo could feature against Xanthi. The on-loan Las Palmas player is expected to make the matchday squad for AEK. Ronald Vargas, a victim of sickness, will miss out on this match.
|Sat, 28-Jan
In Thessaloniki, a massive match for Iraklis against Larisa kicks off weekend play. Having been written off by many as of late as sure relegation candidates, Iraklis came up with a priceless away win against Veria in midweek play (a postponed match from weeks' ago). The 2-0 victory offered renewed hope for Savvas Pantelidis and his players that they could still survive in the division. With the prospect of Larisa coming to town the belief is growing that a second straight win could be on the cards.
Larisa too have had a difficult campaign. The Vyssini have done just enough it seems to not be one of the bottom two clubs, but their form has been patchy and they have hovered around the drop zone for most of the season.
|Asteras Tripolis
|Sat, 28-Jan
An intriguing match will take place on Saturday in Tripoli. Asteras welcome Panionios to the Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium in what will be a tough place for the Nea Smyrniotes to pick up the three points. Asteras may have been outplayed en route to a 2-0 away defeat to AEK last week, but overall the post-holiday fixtures have seen the club respond with very strong performances and results. Midtable consolidation has been achieved by Dimitris Elefteropoulos' team and they face the rest of the season with little pressure.
Panionios meanwhile live with that pressure week by week. However, it's a good pressure to have for Vladan Milojevic's team as they are currently second place in the league. And though Panionios go to a difficult ground this weekend, their own away form is encouraging. The club have lost only twice in nine matches on their travels.
|Sun, 29-Jan
After another disappointing draw last week, Panathinaikos will be expected to have little trouble with slumping Levadiakos. Marinos Ouzounidis saw his players manage only a 1-1 draw away to Kerkyra as the team dropped down to 4th in the table. It was another frustrating game for a team that looks to have improved since Ouzounidis took over, but who are still too inconsistent. Ouzounidis won't be able to count on the injured trio of Rodrigo Moledo, Sebastian Leto, and Niklas Hult for this match.
Panathinaikos will be the heavy favorites in this match regardless. Levadiakos have not won a game in over two months. There was slight improvement last week in the 1-1 home draw with Atromitos that at least broke up a seven-match losing skid. With other sides around them such as Iraklis beginning to win matches, there is a real fear that relegation is now a distinct possibility, something that seemed far-fetched back in November.
|Sun, 29-Jan
Platanias aim to keep up their good form at home when they host Kerkyra on Sunday. The away team are notoriously known as fairly poor travelers. And Kerkyra have not exactly lit it up away from home this season as they have picked up 5 points from a possible 21. The Faiakes are coming off a considerably good result last weekend as they held Panathinaikos 1-1 on the island.
Platanias have earned positive results against the likes of Olympiacos and Panathinaikos at home recently and will believe in their ability to pick up the points against Kerkyra. Last weekend against Larisa, Giorgos Paraschos' men were frustrated in a 1-1 draw. A win this weekend would certainly be a boost for this side especially with their outside chance of fighting for the playoffs. Platanias warmed up for this fixture with a 1-0 Greek Cup win over PAS Giannina on Thursday, giving supporters of the Crete club hope they can advance to the last 8 of the competition.

Makis Chavos will take in his first match on the Panetolikos with PAOK coming to Agrinio on Sunday. Chavos was appointed last week and saw his side go down to the same PAOK team 4-0 away at Toumba on Thursday sealing their Greek Cup defeat. There does not appear to be any danger of Panetolikos having issues with relegation, but Chavos has been brought in to ensure that club can maintain their midtable placing. Chavos will be hoping his side can rebound quickly against a PAOK team who had their way with his team in the cup. Tasos Tsokanis is a massive doubt for selection into the squad this weekend after picking up a knock this week.
PAOK will be confident on inflicting more pain after defeating Panetolikos already two times in the span of a week. Vladan Ivic will be wary of a potential banana skin type match however and PAOK's inconsistencies this season mean nothing is a sure thing for this team. There does appear to be a trend of improvement however and after a poor spell which had them as low as 8th, the Thessaloniki club are back in the thick of the playoff hunt.
|PAS Giannina
|Sun, 29-Jan
Though both sides have slipped up as of late, Atromitos and PAS Giannina square off on Sunday in a match with playoff implications. Atromitos have won only once in their last six matches, but even so, Giorgos Korakakis' team are only four points off the final playoff spot. Another good run down the stretch, like they had through fall and early winter, could yet see the Peristeri side become involved in the playoff race.
PAS Giannina are coming off two defeats in the span of a week. Giannis Petrakis saw his side downed by PAOK on Monday and then suffer an away defeat in the Greek Cup at the hands of Platanias. The recent dip in form has taken the gloss off a previously good season for the Giannina side. Though they have every reason to still chase a playoff place, there is an increasing inconsistency in results that threatens to derail the team from having a chance to play in Europe again next season.
|Sun, 29-Jan
Veria host Olympiacos in what should be a straightforward match-up for the league leaders and defending champions. Olympiacos came through a top two clash last week against a depleted Xanthi side with relative ease and on the paper this looks like a mismatch. Karim Ansarifard opened up his scoring account in the midweek 1-1 first leg Greek Cup draw with Aris. The question is now whether Paulo Bento will stick with the Iranian and play him ahead of either Brown Ideye or Oscar Cardozo. In other team news, Luka Milivojevic appears to be available this week after a potential transfer to Crystal Palace seems to have fallen through.
Veria have loads of off-the-pitch issues which include a takeover in the works at the current time. The club are also in search of a new manager as Thomas Grafas was let go after the midweek defeat to Iraklis. That loss also meant that instead of pulling away from the pack, Veria are back amongst the relegation sides, only above the drop zone on goal difference from Levadiakos. If the club were able to grab even a point in this match it would be a welcome boost considering the problems the club currently face.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! is an upcoming romantic comedy from the house of Dharma. So, one can witness collaboration of winning combo of Punit Malhotra – Dharma Productions, Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan and Shraddha Kapoor (Aashiqui-2 fame) playing a pivotal role.
In the movie, Imran Khan a.k.a Sriram is a happy-go-lucky and spoil brat, who wishes to enjoy life rather than taking is seriously; just like Hrithik in Lakshya film. Sriram (Imran) falls for Dia (Kareena) but the two opposites can not attract each other beyond a point. Imran wants to attend gala festivals, while Kareena is bothered about the society. Will Sriram be able to win back his love? It is story about a boy and his struggle to cross a bridge… a bridge that bridges the love and gap between two people.
Any film from the house of Dharma is bound to have humungous expectation musically. With Vishal-Shekhar at helm of affairs, the film's music album has a good amount of the expected grandeur in it, that can easily be termed as one of the year's most sprightly and delightful albums. Tightly knotted and crisply created, the songs for most part do their best to cast a beguiling spell.
As the expectation grow manifolds. So, will the movie be able to weave the magic? Let's wait till Friday!

Thoughts on purposeful meeting openers and icebreakers
One of my LinkedIn groups had a post where the trainer wanted to start a class focused on workplace improvement best practices. He wanted to start with some kind of meeting opener or icebreaker designed to make the supervisors frustrated, because they could not get the exercise task done well in the allotted time. He was asking for ideas.
I suggested reminding them of their current workplace situation, since I thought that their workplace was like most others and that the managers were already frustrated with these same issues.
My other comment was that the idea of getting people frustrated may not be the best way for starting a class session. Beginning a session negatively does not get people positively motivated for class, and the potential reactions can be somewhat uncontrollable. Some other people elaborated on some of the possible unintended outcomes of such an activity, too. (The conversation got pretty bloody but we also think we saved him from a huge strategic mistake, on which he agreed!)
The other half of my thinking pounded on irrelevant icebreakers as a complete waste of time — you know, the goofy meeting openers and icebreakers that are not related to the issue or desired outcome of the session and play on people telling three truths and one lie about themselves, or the most interesting thing about their hometown, or stating something that no one would ever guess about them. (The list goes on and on…)
I'm in agreement with a lot of other consultant trainers, especially about all that psychology stuff and what happens in training. One psychologist posted up his approach of having people draw a pig that represents things in their organization. Some may find the reference to "pig" as being too close to senior management these days with all those raises, and salaries of CEOs in excess of 300 times the workers and climbing!
But in that psychology frame, I use my Square Wheels® wagon illustration to get people to project their ideas like an organizational inkblot test. The cartoon shows a wooden wagon rolling along on Square Wheels while the cargo is round rubber tires. (There are some other aspects of motivation and vision and the like).
The idea is to get individuals thinking and groups working together on sharing ideas about the illustration – brainstorming with an organizational behavioral anchor. Groups can also be motivated through a little competition to make a longer list (facilitation) and what players do is to project their beliefs about their own organization onto the illustration (the inkblot effect).
If you are going to take their valuable time, why not focus it on issues of innovation and teamwork and involvement about their workplace, and not some completely unrelated thing like 3 Truths and a Lie or some such "energizer"?
Using the cartoon as an anchor to the reality of how things really work, we get them talking about their issues — the things that do not work smoothly — and the ideas that already exist within the context of making the wagon move more effectively. This approach also allows discussion, without the attack on management or structures. It has proven itself to be developmentally neutral and non-political in that regard.
The behavior and ideas and issues in play can then be linked to a lot of different kinds of content for your training session, and the activity thus made relevant. That is something that cannot be done with so many of the very general activities — it is hard to make the transition between doing them and then linking to a real business purpose. (Sure, you can use some words but the behaviors are generally off-target.)
Best practices can be Round Wheels. The focus on the training and performance improvement might be linked to Square Wheels. You can coach people on identifying SWs and generating round ones, while generating dissociation and second-position perspective. Issues of change and implementation (stopping the wagon and changing the wheels) can be part of the, "What are we going to try to do differently after we leave here?" discussion. And on and on.

Grade 2
Duration: 6:18
This show is based on traditional African ceremonial and dance music. We open with "Ritual" where we hear a solo trumpet in a chant-like call. This is followed by a big full band fanfare and then the tempo changes with some native drumming. The rest of the opener is some lively syncopated melodies with some woodwind interludes. Next, the mood changes with "Ceremonial Prayer", a haunting ballad that can feature an alto sax soloist. Suddenly, the "Dance Finale" begins with pulsating minor melodic patterns and your percussion section is featured on some traditional African drumming. There is a brief "Reprise and Finale" that brings the show full circle and builds to an exciting conclusion. Wow! Talk about visual possibilities!
