No I don't give unedited or unprocessed images to anyone.I see every project as my most current "portfolio" one that I have no control over. I'd never take a chance that a CD wouldn't be handed off without an explanation as to what the contents are. I wouldn't expect an editor to remember that a certain CD was everything including outtakes, while another was the finished project.I also always add the ITPC and other metadata especially my copyright info. As for camera RAW files, yes I have allowed certain clients, or more specifically their desk-top publisher, to process files for their own unique requirements. This has always been talked about beforehand.
I work for a media company (as a private contractor) and ALL my work belongs to my client, be it RAW or otherwise.
Not sure why I or anyone of the other working photographers would insist on copyright on these images especially when we're taking them on behalf of someone else.
I like your "Socialist" way of looking at employment, and yes, a health/dental/disability plan would be fantastic, but in reality you probably need to be working for the Government or a national/international corporation these days to enjoy all these glorious benefits.
You seem to have employment confused with exploitation. I suspect way too much time on PhotoShop manipulating images and not enough time spent in the real world.
Work For Hire is a really bad word when applied to non-employee situations. Unless you are a full time employee with all the benefits of being an employee health/dental/disability insurance, employer paying for your place of business and all equipment used in your line of work, you are a freelancer being exploited by being called a "private contractor".
this kind of copyright problem seems to be more or less an us problem. i'm from europe and working for a media comp. as well, and see it more like west1.
By raw I don't mean necessarily RAW format files but rather files that have not been edited, or files straight out from the camera. Remember that raw files may not represent your final vision as a professional. The pictures might also badly need very basic adjustments like color correction contrast, etc. I am curious if you, as professionals, are willing to provide the files raw.
My personal files are stored in 16 bit, with different layers and selections necessary for any different subsequent postproduction. Without any accentuation, in Tiff RGB LZW format.
Zip will produce the smallest 16 bit compressed files. Both BTW are lossless compression.
<<You might want to rethink the LZW compression and switch ti zip compression. 16 bit LZW compressed files are sometimes bigger than the uncompressed 16 bit files because LZW doesn't work really well on 16 bit files. Zip will produce the smallest 16 bit compressed files. Both BTW are lossless compression.>>That may be true. I will try to see the Zip. Although, ideally, a file for the backup should not be compressed (not even LZW). Who knows if in a few years, these compression programs will still be operational?
While that is a prudent approach in general, LZW is widely known and used algorithm, and the knowledge of how to uncompress it is as unlikely to disappear as TIFF itself.

5-Star has the industry covered
September 22, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – The budding oil and gas industry locally continues to expand as oil pads are going up across the valley....
"the flowing back of fluids from the well" That quote gives you a warm and toasty feeling inside, doesn't it? Especially when considering that over half of the chemicals used in fracking are unidentified, according to the "business insider" website. There is no reason to worry about this, money is talking here, like it always does, and they have it. Not only can they operate where they want, they have lobbyists who can, and have changed laws! Just let them get their gas and do their thing. Unfortunately we will be the ones dealing with the problems left behind, and I got a strong feeling they will be plenty!

We enjoyed this recipe during the holidays, while visiting family in Oregon. My daughter substituted spinach and some crushed red pepper. It was a hit all around. Thanks.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
419 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
The kids loved this one. They get excited every time they see gnocchi now.
Yum! My husband and I had this for dinner on New Year's Eve and were not disspointed!
This is a great dish that can be easily customized for different eating-styles. For my man, I made the meal pretty much by the recipe (I had kale and fresh tomatoes and prefer whole-wheat/potato gnocchi, so I used those) and added a couple ounces of Italian sausage (we had it left over from another meal). For me, I nixed the cheese (I'm allergic to milk) and threw in some artichoke hearts (he hates 'em, I love 'em!). De-freakin'-licious! A smattering of roughly chopped fresh herbs tossed over it at the end (parsley, thyme and chervil) made it really special. Yum!
My husband and I really enjoyed this meal as did one of my kids! My husband actually suggested making as a starter to christmas dinner. I agree frying the perogies makes a mess they just stick to the pan. I used spinach in place of chard and placed it in a casserole dish and bakes it for the cheese to melt!

Get taste of top chefs at Greenville's International Food & Wine Festival
Published: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 8:00 p.m.
Three Michelin-starred chefs and their culinary creations will be the main attraction at the International Food & Wine Festival, set for 6:30 to 10 p.m. Friday at Rick Erwin's Nantucket Seafood and expanding onto the lawn of the Courtyard by Marriott's Village Green in downtown Greenville.
Dishes prepared by Michelin-starred chefs Danny Brown of Danny Brown Wine Bar & Kitchen in New York; Homaro Cantu of moto and iNG in Chicago, and Greenville's own Michelin-starred chef, Emmanuel Hodencq, who recently joined the Rick Erwin Dining Group, will be available to ticket buyers.
Each chef will prepare two dishes and serve them in unlimited tasting portions. In addition, an array of top-shelf international wines will be available along with a full bar. Live music and dancing will also be enjoyed underneath a big-top tent on the lawn at the Courtyard by Marriott's Village Green.
Michelin stars are considered the most prestigious rating in the food world. Administered by Michelin Guide Books, the guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of outstanding quality. One star indicates "very good cuisine in its category"; two stars represent "excellent cuisine, worth a detour"; and a rare three stars are awarded to restaurants offering "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey." As of late 2009, there were a total of 81 three-star restaurants in the world. Michael Ellis, executive director of Michelin Guides, will also be at the event.
"Never before has the Upstate hosted an event featuring food from three Michelin-starred chefs. To experience such exceptional cuisine from such celebrated chefs in one evening is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed," event sponsor Rick Erwin said.
Tickets to the International Food & Wine Festival are $150 per person. A portion of the cost of each ticket is tax deductible and supports Upstate International. For event details and to purchase tickets, email info@international upstate.org.

I'm building a category picker select list. I just need to populate an array of categorys like so:
$myCats = array("null" => "None (default)", "1" => "Uncategorized", "2" => "Second Category", etc..)
Does WP have an existing method call I can use to pull this data alone? I may need to exclude some categories from the listing too.

6 Saints With Superpowers Straight from the Marvel Universe
If your only knowledge of Christian saints is that certain holidays and cities are named after them, hang on to your asses. Some of these guys went down in history because they supposedly could fly, slay dragons and function without heads.
Here are the saints who were only an adamantium skeleton away from joining the X-Men.
#6. The Severed Head That Kept Preaching -- St. Denis of Paris
Life as a missionary can be tough, especially if it's in third century Paris under Roman rule. Undeterred by government death threats, a missionary named Denis continued to convert Parisians to Christianity. This resulted in Denis being beheaded. And he was still undeterred.
"Jesus is head and shoulders above the rest! Hahaha! But seriously, this is excruciating."
The story goes that after his execution, Denis picked up his own severed head, washed it by a spring -- apparently because he was fussy about all the blood -- and walked for about two Gallic miles (which is approximately six of ours, adjusted after inflation). And he was preaching all the way, through the mouth on the severed head he was carrying, until he reached a spot that he thought would make a good burial site. There he eventually dropped dead.
But not before stopping for some bowling.
Fun fact: He's the patron saint of people suffering from headaches (Catholicism has apparently never been renowned for its subtlety). But even better, apart from several paintings of St. Denis with head in hands, the motif was awesomely extended to the world of sculpture, where St. Denis is permanently remembered not for his good deeds, but for being the guy who could do this:
He was a head of his time.
Though we think the real unsung hero of this story was his audience. If he was preaching the whole time he was walking around headless, then somebody was presumably listening. We have enormous respect for anyone who sees a headless guy walking toward them with blood spurting from a ragged neck stump, carrying a head that is offering them an inspirational message of salvation, and is able to actually listen to and absorb what the head is saying.
#5. St. Margaret of Antioch: Dragon Slayer
As you see in the above story, the Romans often served as the supervillains in these old tales of the superhero saints. For instance, when St. Margaret of Antioch resisted the advances of a local Roman prefect, he had her arrested, tortured and then thrown into the dungeon. Things took a turn for the worse when Satan appeared before her in the form of a massive dragon. In a scene ripped straight from some sweet airbrush art on the side of an '80s van, the Satan-dragon swallowed Margaret whole.
The other side is the Last Supper using Lord of the Rings characters.
What happened next varies depending on what account you read, but our favorite version involves Margaret cutting her way out of the dragon's stomach like a chestbuster from Alien. And for some reason the dragon looked like Snarf from Thundercats.
Which was just proof of his evil.
The next day, the Romans tried to execute her by drowning her and then lighting her on fire, which would have seemed a bit like overkill if it had actually worked. It turns out that bathing in the blood of dragons makes you immune to most ordinary causes of death, because neither the drowning nor the flames harmed her.
After Margaret showed Wolverinesque levels of unkillability, the Romans eventually resorted to chopping her head off and then presumably sleeping with the light on every night from then on.
#4. Saint Christopher Was Two Stories Tall
Before Christopher became a saint, he tried going a different direction and decided to be a follower of Satan. Figuring that this was probably not the best move in the long run, he chose to join the forces of good, and started a career as a follower of Christ. This was a pretty big win for the good guys, because Christopher was three times taller than you.
You'd think he'd try to find a safer way to carry that baby. Since he's, you know, Jesus.
The tale written in the saints compendium called The Golden Legend held that Christopher was 18 feet tall. As the writing of the time put it, he was 12 cubits (a cubit being 18 inches). But apparently instead of being the patron saint of choke-slams or of little person juggling, he became the patron saint of traveling. Consequently, images of the Christian Goliath being really big were scattered around Europe.
The most important event in his life of being tall and wasting it just walking around was putting a 3-year-old Jesus Christ on his shoulders and wading across a river, hence the name Christopher ("Christ bearer"). You'd think Christ would be the last guy who'd need someone to carry him across a river, but in a story with a guy as tall as a building and a 3-year-old Jesus traveling on his own, accuracy may be secondary.
And if this painting is anything to go by, the Christ Child was kind of a backseat wader.
On top of that, when it came time to port the story of St. Christopher into Eastern Orthodox doctrine, a translation error pretty much transmogrified the guy. You see, Christopher was a Canaanite (which at the time of Christ meant that he was essentially an Israeli), but this became "canine." Hilariously, artists and iconographers just went with it and turned the giant into a damned werewolf without a second thought.
And a giant werewolf, at that.

This movie is based on a fight between Government and Terrorist group. Terrorist group have some kind of virus which can destroy anything.
In order to blackmail the Government, the Terrorists used this virus on the Effile Tower and it became dust.
Even tourists became dust when they came in contact with the virus. But the Government's team stopped the virus through some programming etc.

ADA, OK -- Smoking is now prohibited on all public city property in Ada and that includes the smoking of e-cigarettes. Heather Richardson, owner of Darkside Vapors, says it's wrong to put smokers and e-smokers in the same category.
"Vaping vapors is not tobacco and we don't like being lumped in with tobacco," Richardson said. "Our customers, the owners, we've all quit smoking. We vape. We don't have anything to do with tobacco products."
Richardson says e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco and the juices that they vaporize are FDA approved. But Councilman, Guy Sewell, says e-cig users should not be treated differently from other smokers.
"We're talking about lifestyle choices that are in the same batch there, so I think it would be almost unfair to smoke e-cigarettes which could still potentially have some health hazards associated with them as compared to cigarettes," Sewell said.
He says mirroring the state law that prohibits smoking on property owned by public entities, and including e-cigarettes will help keep residents from smoking of any kind.
"We're trying to get people to stop smoking, and I agree e-cigarettes are a better public health choice than cigarettes, but that doesn't mean they're a better public health choice than no e-cigarettes," said Sewell.
But e-cigarette smoker, Randy McDaniel, feels that the council should have done more research before taking a vote.
"Rights are being taken away, and they need to look into it more," McDaniel said. "Don't punish me vapors, me, other friends of mine for something they know nothing abo ut.
Richardson says there are 2 online petitions and one in the store, and those opposed to the ordinance plan to take it to the city council.

I'd like to thicken the sauce for my Thanksgiving turkey a bit, without making it inedible for my gluten-intolerant guests. From other questions on this site, I understand that corn starch would be an option, but it might give a more starchy flavour. Same for potato starch. Arrowroot flour would probably work according to this question, but it's not always easy to obtain. Would rice flour work? Are there other alternatives?
Oh, have I got the answer for you. Xanthan gum. Here is an excellent article by two of my favorite bloggers on how to get started using it. Xanthan gum is easy to find at health food stores because gluten-free bakers use it extensively.
Agree on the corn starch, and some gluten free people have problems with corn anyway. Arrowroot flour would work, otherwise use tapioca. Rice flour can work, but the type is very important, and sometimes you need too much for it to be worth it.
I used tapioca starch. A little bit goes a LONG way! It's like corn starch on steroids. :-P And there's a difference in tapioca starch and flour. Get the starch.
I used a product called Veloutine for gravies for my gluten-intolerant MIL. (She died about ten years ago.) You can't, because it was apparently a Canada-only thing and Knorr doesn't make it anymore anyway. But on my box it lists as ingredients:
It is cool stuff because you just sprinkle it into boiling stew/gravy/whatever with no making a roux, slurry or beurre manie. (An advantage to a ack of gluten.) If you can source potato starch, that would probably be your best bet. Failing that I would try rice flour.
PS: don't forget to adjust your stuffing recipe. When I roast a turkey some of the stuffing inevitably falls into the gravy. A gluten intolerant person can't just "not eat the stuffing" in that case, the gravy would be offlimits too. I dealt with that by putting Paxo in the main part but not as full as usual, and gluten free stuff where the neck was, knowing that if some fell of that fell in the gravy it was ok.
I use a Beurre Manie made of brown rice flour and butter for gravies. I love it, and add some sprigs of Thyme

1936 Ford Coupe - Lost TimeWritten by on October 1, 2008 This '36 Got No Attention For 45 Years-It's Making Up For It Now
Some hot rodders think all the great old barn finds don't exist anymore. Not us. We've been hearing (and publishing) a lot of stories lately about vintage tin that has been holed up behind closed doors for years only to be eventually discovered and rescued. Here's one more.
It's hard to imagine somebody not wanting a '36 Ford coupe, but that's how this story begins. Way back in 1957, an ambitious hot rodder installed a dual-quad NASCAR Y-block under the hood of the otherwise bone-stock five-window. With no modifications to a drivetrain originally built to handle an 85hp Flathead, it wasn't long before an engine built to win NASCAR races started chewing up transmissions like they were potato chips (16 in one summer, we were told). The coupe's frustrated owner rolled his car into a Chicago-area warehouse and walked away. For 45 years.
Jim Evans heard the story from Tim O'Connell at O'Connell Specialties, a rod shop in Plainfield, Illinois, near Chicago. Tim found out about the off-the-radar coupe in 2002 and bought it just to get it back in circulation. Based on Tim's description, Jim decided to buy the car sight unseen. He hooked up a battery, added some gasoline, filed the points, and the NASCAR Y-block started right up. When he got around to stripping the original paint, he discovered dent-free, rust-free sheetmetal. With such perfect raw material for the project, Jim decided to keep outward modifications low-key, "integrating all of the small details and changes into the car and still making it look like it could be a car from a '36 Ford sales brochure," as he put it.
The NASCAR engine that ate all those transmissions was sold to help finance the project, and replaced with a more streetable 312ci Thunderbird engine. The oval track personality is retained in the form of a NASCAR air cleaner, modified by Jim to cover the single four-barrel carburetor. The body was lowered over the '36 'rails for an improved profile, but the lines were kept stock, with a few minor changes. Even the redone interior reflects the preserved history of the '36, with the type of modifications the first owner might have made in the 1950s.
The buildup took 22 non-consecutive months, spread out over five years, and with assistance from Nick Kraly, Tim O'Connell, and a few other folks. The coupe was completed in time for Jim to drive it to some national events in 2007, where it got far more attention than Jim expected. "I thought it would be a 'walk-by' car," he told us.
There was no way we could walk by the long-lost '36. And, since we heard its story, we can't drive by an old warehouse, barn, or garage without wondering if there's some neglected old-time iron behind those doors-something like this coupe-waiting to be hauled out, built up, and set loose.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Jim Evans
Hammond, Indiana
1936 Ford Coupe
The body needed to sit a little closer to the ground, so Jim added a 5-inch dropped beam axle, reversed the front spring eyes, removed a couple of the stock leaves, stuck homemade lowering blocks between the axle and the pair of parallel rear leaf springs, and cut a pair of C-notches out of the rear of the original framerails. The 'rails were boxed in the rear for rigidity, and the X-member was rebuilt to make it removable in case the transmission needs to be pulled out. The frontend was further modified with tube shocks, spindles, and split 'bones from a '37 Ford, and custom steering arms controlled by a Vega box. Antisway bars were bolted in at the front and rear. The front brakes are from a '56 Ford pickup. Rear brakes come from a '76 Granada, which also provided the 3.55:1 gear rearend.
One of the star attractions of the '36 is the Ford Y-block. Sterling Engine in Rockford, Illinois, did the machine work on the 312ci Thunderbird engine, rebuilt by Jim. The Ford NASCAR air cleaner is a reminder of the trans-eating dual-quad NASCAR engine dropped between the fenders back in the 1950s. Jim built a base to set it over an Edelbrock 500-cfm carb on a Thunderbird manifold. The stock heads were modified with hardened valve seats with an Isky cam and lifters as part of the valvetrain, and topped with-what else?-the stock Thunderbird covers. Glasspack mufflers barely tone down the Chevy small-block headers, modified by O'Connell Speciaties to fit the Y-block. The Mallory dual-point ignition was converted to PerTronix electronics. Jim grafted Chevy shift linkage to the '36 Ford shifter operating a BorgWarner-built T5 from a '94 S-10 pickup.
Wheels & TiresJim chose the rim and tire combo to complement the resto-rod appearance of the coupe. That means 16-inch '40 Ford wheels dressed up with '40 Standard V-8 caps and custom-mix cream-colored paint to match the firewall and steering wheel. The wide-white bias-ply Firestone tires measure 7.00-16 and 5.50-16.
Body & PaintStarting with desirable original sheetmetal, Jim's plan was to keep the body mods inconspicuous. Maybe you spotted the two additional horizontal bars on the hood panel trims. He also removed the spare tire and shortened the taillight stands and rear bumper supports just enough to pull both in closer to the body. The stock headlights were replaced with slightly updated lights from a '41 cabover pickup truck. The top was finished with a LeBaron Bonney insert. O'Connell Specialties recessed the firewall to fit the Y-block. The coupe went to Ron Kral in Lockport, Illinois, for final body prep and paint. Jim identifies the color as "pimp blue." "It's a long story," he says. Someday we'd love to hear it.
InteriorThe stock bench seat was in good shape after 45 years of not being sat on. Covering it in stock wool broadcloth was a great decision, and the crew at Schobers Hot Rod Interior in Yorkville, Illinois, did the job using a LeBarron Bonney kit. The woodgraining on the dashboard and garnish moldings was handled by Cliff McCillop of Rochester Hills, Michigan. Classic Instruments provided the in-dash gauges. A two-piece Sun tach ("that actually works," Jim boasts) is mounted on the custom column. The critical component not shown is the driver. With hands on the '48 wheel and feet on the '39 pedals, Jim fills that function every chance he gets.

to the crude oil produced in the US Midcontinent area, where a
technology-driven production boom
has led to a glut at the Cushing, Okla., storage hub.
Findlay, Ohio-based Marathon Petroleum and other refiners have
greatly expanded their profit margins in recent years by
turning the discounted Midcontinent oil into fuel that then can
be sold at prices charged for fuel made by more expensive
imported oil.
Marathon Petroleum's refining-and-marketing unit reported
gross margin of $13.12/bbl for the third quarter, down 0.5%
from the year before.
About 7% of Marathon Petroleum's total crude output now can
come from heavy oils from Western Canada or the Gulf Coast and
should add up to $350 million/year to the company's earnings,
according to analysts at Raymond James.
"This project provides the flexibility
necessary of Marathon Petroleum to chase down the most economic
barrel," Raymond James analyst Cory Garcia said in a client

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

I had no problems with the installation, following the instructions on the wiki. Afterwards I got a huge problem though. I am currently seeking advice how to proceed.
I get the background color of ubuntu plus some glitches in the place where the menu should be. It's just the screen after the first launch after reboot.
It's just a basic install, I haven't touched on configurations yet. I can't do anything with the OS as it is no terminal no nothing. How can I fix this?

The facility would initially have a capacity of 5 million tpy, but it will be expandable, according to John Z. Tomich, Noble's country manager for Cyprus. The new LNG plant could handle growing gas volumes from the Eastern Mediterranean region as well as additional production from Israel.
The government of Cyprus has approved Noble Energy to build
and operate an onshore LNG plant, possibly to be located in
Vasilikos, the company said on Wednesday.
The facility would initially have a capacity of 5 million
tpy, but it will be expandable, according to John Z. Tomich,
Noble's country manager for Cyprus. It could also include
other partners.
The new LNG plant could handle growing gas volumes from the
Eastern Mediterranean region, including the burgeoning Offshore
Cyprus Block 12. It may take additional output from Israel
in the future, Tomich said.
Dr. Symeon Kassianides, CEO of Cyprus-based Hyperion Systems
Engineering, said the developments are good for the country,
but cautioned that they will require "a lot of technical
To that end, Noble Energy will host the Eastern
Mediterranean Gas Conference (EMGC) next year, the first
industry conference of its kind for the region. The event will
be held in Nicosia, Cyprus, from March 26 until March 28.
The conference will give special focus to the latest
geopolitical, market and technology trends related to the
exploration, drilling, production, processing and marketing of
natural gas in the area.
It will also cover key issues such as
resource potential, leasing/permitting, development plans,
infrastructure requirements and governmental plans and
regulations. More details are available at the
event website.
Far more than providing tremendous business and growth
opportunities for the oil and gas industry, the abundance of
natural gas resources recently discovered offshore Cyprus and
Israel have the potential to forever alter the energy-security
and economic landscape of the entire Eastern Mediterranean
region, said Charles D. Davidson, CEO of Noble Energy,
Noble Energy is extremely proud to be a part of this
international conference, and we are delighted that the natural
gas sector is committed to helping us unlock these historic and
truly transformational resources for the people of Cyprus and
The event, organized by Gulf Publishing Company, is
expected to provide attendees with the knowledge and insight
necessary to build business operations in the area.
"We will take all of the interest generated by one of the most
significant new finds in the world and channel it into
definitive information on the resources, stages of development
for different fields, infrastructure requirements, and
timelines to get this important resource to market, said
John Royall, Gulf CEO.
An informational presentation and luncheon to introduce the
event was held Wednesday at the Hilton Cyprus, also
in Nicosia.

I've read lots of professional articles that use the two terms interchangeably, sometimes within the same paragraph. Are the two terms really semantically identical? In formal writing, are there any situations where it would be recommended to use one or the other?

In more formal writing, it's slightly proper to use the phrase "Republican Party". However, in general discussion or news reporting, you'll find it used interchangeably.
GOP (Grand Old Party) is a nickname for the Republican Party that dates back over a century. The use of the word 'old' is ironic in that the Democratic Party was founded before the Republican Party. Also, some of the alternate meanings of the word 'grand' cause members of opposing parties to use the term GOP sarcastically, or not at all.
It is favored in news headlines due to its shortness.
, and refers to the OED:
Both terms are fairly interchangeable, and while GOP is mainly used in headlines, it is interesting to know that, as detailed in the article "What Does 'GOP' Stand For?", in 2002 The Wall Street Journal actually had decided to stop(!) using the acronym to refer to the 148-year-old political party.
Titles like "Democrats Aim to Curb GOP Donors" (on the online Wall Street Journal site) show that this resolution didn't stick.
When writing for an international audience, use Republican Party.
"GOP" stands for Grand Old Party (dating from 1876), and is used as a somewhat informal synonym meaning the Republican Party. Its usage is mainly in the press, as its size makes it ideal for headlines and news copy. Example headline:
If you were writing a formal paper on politics, you might prefer to say "the Republican Party" or "the Republicans" or just "Republicans" — but there is nothing preventing you from salting in references to "the GOP" as well.
About the only places you aren't likely to see it at all are on formal invitations or legal documents.
GOP is an acronym standing for Grand Old Party, a nickname for The Republican Party, and as far as I know is synonymous.

The defender failed to match his performance with the Chicago Fire and has been sent packing after just one season.The New York Red Bulls announced that they reached a deal with defender Wilman Conde to to terminate his contract.
Conde played one season for the Red Bulls, making 17 appearances and notching one goal and one assist. The Red Bulls acquired his rights from Chicago in January 2012 in exchange for allocation money.
The 30-year-old Colombian was a standout during his time in Chicago, but struggled with injuries during his season with the Red Bulls. A run-in with police and a locker room bust-up with Thierry Henry further blighted his time with the club.
Conde earned a base salary of $125,000 and a guaranteed salary of $141,667 in 2012, according to the MLS Players Union.

I need to teach an intro course on number theory in 1 month. I was just notified. Since I have never studied it, what are good books to learn it quickly?
Stein's book may be useful (and it is free): http://wstein.org/ent/
I don't think the OP has provided enough information to get a useful answer to his/her precise question (what text to learn quickly from).
What level is the course being taught at? High school? Undergraduate for non-majors? Undergraduate for majors but without specific knowledge of any other undergraduate math courses beyond calculus? Undergraduate assuming some basic analysis and/or algebra? Graduate level? Something else??
As others have said, a perfectly reasonable thing to do when you are teaching any course for the first time and don't have strong opinions / too much expertise about it is to look at the textbook(s) that others have used who have taught the course recently. Thumb through them a little bit, then ask them how they liked the book and how well it worked for the course. If you found anything confusing or problematic in the book, ask them about that.
I think someone with a PhD in mathematics (for the sake of argument, I'll assume the OP has one) should be able to pick up and read a textbook for any undergraduate class within a month and then be able to teach the class with a reasonable amount of competence. Of course, real insight takes more time than that, and it is not reasonable to expect that someone conscripted into service with one month's worth of notice (why is this, exactly?) will be able to provide that.
For an introductory undergrad course I'd say the book to use by a long-shot is Kenneth Rosen's Elementary Number Theory and its Applications
The theory is all there, but it's placed nicely in a context appropriate for a mixed bag of undergrad students by a large number of interesting-but-doable exercises and informative historical notes. Modern applications to computer science, cryptography, etc are all there and can be emphasized (or not) as you see fit.
This is what I'd read if I were you. Last time I checked, the book was annoyingly expensive - but this is the only criticism of it I have. Most students give this book very favorable reviews, too.
What about "The Little Book of Bigger Primes" by Ribenboim (see 1 for the Amazon link)? I personally think this is a great introduction to the field of number theory and I have enjoyed it very much a few years ago. It is clear and nicely written.
(Just to be clear: We are not talking about a course that also involves notable parts of algebraic number theory, are we?)
If it is a course elementary number theory, look at "Elementary Number Theory" by Dudley.
I think Jones + Jones
would be a good all-around introduction. It has solutions to every problem in the back, which can be helpful for self-study.

Now Batting: A Beatnik. On Deck: A Lumberjack
At some point during the 2013 season, baseball players stopped resembling baseball players and started looking more like roadies for the Grateful Dead. You can't throw a rock in a ballpark these days without hitting a player who badly needs a shave.
Exasperated with a dearth of reliable facial-hair statistics, The Count decided to study the faces of 912 MLB players in order to assemble the first ever baseball-beard audit. The results were staggering: 58% of the league has some form of facial hair. (Note: This number doesn't include the Yankees, who still honor their Steinbrennian ban on facial hair not confined to the upper lip.)
The Brewers had a dismal season but they can take solace in the fact that, with a 72% facial hair rate, they are the league's most unkempt team. The Red Sox, though, may have the most whiskers in terms of pure volume, with a third of their players sporting a full-blown Grizzly Adams beard.
The one style of facial hair that is all but extinct is the mustache, which was once as much a part of baseball as Cracker Jack and boredom. For comparison, the Count also examined photos of 701 players from the 1987 season and was shocked to find 277 (277!) mustaches, an astounding 40% of the league.

A Letter to True
"An altogether original film...blending an eclectic array of personal passions with an artist's freewheeling sensibility."—Vanity Fair
Best-known for his glossy fashion photography for Abercrombie & Fitch, Bruce Weber is also a filmmaker of unique distinction, as A Letter to True demonstrates.
The "letter" is addressed to one of Weber's gorgeous golden retrievers and testifies to the animal's affection, loyalty, and unconditional love. Weber's highly personal commentary interweaves many of his own obsessions into a stylish, evocative collage. Music of the 1950s and 1960s, home movies of matinee idol Dirk Bogarde, and conversations with Elizabeth Taylor are interspersed with poetic voice-overs by Julie Christie and Marianne Faithfull. (78 mins.)

There are $n$ black balls and $n$ white balls in a bin. I withdraw the balls one at a time without replacement until I have an equal number of white and black balls. What is the expected number of balls that I have to withdraw?
It appears that the answer should be $4^n\left/{2n \choose n}\right.$. So for $n = 3$ it would be:
$$4^3\left/{6 \choose 3}\right. = \frac{64}{20} = \frac{16}{5}$$
I have verified the answers for $n = 2$ and $n = 3$, but I am not able to prove the general result.

Sony 32GB SDHC Memory Card Class 10 SF32NX/TQM for $14.95 + free shipping
Class 10 Free shipping
12 Comments add a comment
Grabbed a couple.
I ordered one of these before Christmas from a Woot/Amazon link. It was out of stock but I ordered it anyway, for $18.99 shipped which was a great price at the time. Well just yesterday it shipped! $4 cheaper with this deal and B&H is basically as good as Amazon.....oh well, at the time I wanted the $18.99 to get me up to the free over $25 shipping but in the end it ended up costing $4 more :(
Great deal here though!
I think they shut off their online order processing until tomorrow evening, perhaps because of the storm in New England? It's got a message about them stopping at 5:15 EST. I CLICKED RIGHT AT 5:15!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like many NY camera shops I think B&H is owned by Orthodox Jews and are closed Friday evening to Saturday evening. They go so far as to not even accept web orders during this time. You should be OK ordering Saturday evening and no it has nothing to due with the impending storm but I could see how people might think that, especially with the looming storm :)
Purchased a couple last time. Great price for a class 10 32gib. BH is a good company to do business with.
I ordered one a bit ago and it's been great for videography and photography - no hiccups.
I've been dealing with B&H for over 35 years. They are among the most competitive and honorable of the NY mail order houses. Also - no sales tax ( not important here, but it is an issue on big ticket items.)
Says ordering not available until 6:45pm EST. I'll get this then, that is for sure.
@d4tonyd: I've also ordered many things from B&H, Several DVD Recorders, my BD player and 35mm cameras and accessories years before that and you should be able to start ordering this deal today at 6:45 PM ET(sundown I believe).
When I said "B&H is basically as good as Amazon" I meant reliable, which is a good thing since I think Amazon is very reliable :)
I ordered one last time, no computer would recognize it. A few e-mails back and forth and BH said "we'll send you a new one, just keep the old one". New one works great, and this is just another example as to why BH is an excellent store
Guess I waited too long get the message discontinued. Too bad that was a great deal.
Think this is dead? lol.

Is buying a ticket enough? Do I have to stamp ("convalidare") it? What if all the stamping machines are broken? What if I didn't have the time to stamp my ticket?
It depends. If your ticket comes with a seat reservation ("PRENOTAZIONE POSTO") then you do not need to stamp your ticket: just board the train.
Shorter range tickets with no seat reservation, on the other hand, must be stamped. Your ticket probably reads "DA CONVALIDARE" somewhere at the top. Trenitalia personnel typically doesn't cut tourists much slack and if "busted" you will be forced to buy a ticket on board with a surcharge. I've seen plenty of tourists fall for this on the Milan-Bergamo line and it saddens me.
If this happens, keep in mind that you're not being fined. The ticket you bought is still valid; you're just buying a new one. You can use that ticket for your return trip (just make sure you do stamp it next time!)
Also, try and be honest and avoid getting into arguments. Ticket checkers have no qualms with waking people up and locking yourself up in the bathroom does not really work (it's no excuse for not slipping the ticket below the door). They can also actually fine you for quite a lot more money than just buying a new ticket with the surcharge (although I've never witnessed things degenerate to this level), followed by forcing you to step off the train wherever it stops next. Yeah, not fun.
When in doubt, stamp the ticket. If it's a paper ticket, use any of the yellow stamping machines typically found at the station entrance (by ticket sales) or at the lower end of the stairways up to the tracks. If it's a magnetic ticket (?) then use the blue machines instead.
If all the stamping machines should be broken, or if you just didn't have the time to stamp your ticket, or if you are iffy about the quality of the stamping (maybe it didn't print very well?) what Trenitalia and Trenord personnel have told me to do is to board the train at the head and tell the ticket collector when (if) he comes. He should sign off the ticket with no surcharge. I don't know if this is something official or just an informal convention, but I know it's worked for me in the past.

The 7 Most Baffling Video Game Adaptations of Everyday Life
Video games let you be anything: a brave spaceship captain, the undisputed master of chiefs, or even a terribly ineffective plumber on hallucinogens. And yet with all of reality available to warp and twist into whatever shape we like, some people prefer to use video games to do the most boring stuff possible. Like ...
#7. Sensible Train Spotting
Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Oh man, a Trainspotting game sounds like a blast. You get to be all Scottish and on heroin and -- oh, you mean literal train spotting? That sounds ... less fun. We suppose there might be some entertainment value to be had: Maybe you could take tours of trains not otherwise available to the public, or even ride them to interesting new destinations. Yeah, sure -- we could see some amount of value in a game like that. But this is not a game like that. This isn't just train spotting -- this is SENSIBLE Train Spotting. That's right: It is a simulator not only of trains and the spotting thereof, but of doing so in a safe and responsible manner.
Sequel to the critically acclaimed Feeding Pigeons.
Thrill at the moderation! Gasp at the restraint! In Sensible Train Spotting, you play a fearless unnamed hero who sits at his local train station with his trusty thermos and watches passing trains. As you can plainly see, these aren't high-end graphics or anything, so it's not even about watching the details of the trains themselves. It's about matching the numbers on the trains to arbitrary numbers you already have. See, each train has a unique number, and by scratching it off of your own in-game bingo card when a train passes, you ... win? We guess?
That can't be right. There can be no winners in a game of Sensible Train Spotting.
#6. Virtual Dog Walking
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
You know what the best part about owning a dog is? "The love and companionship"? Wh- what are you, dim? No, dude, the best part is taking it out to the bathroom! If you've always wanted to fly wingman on a dog-crap sortie but don't have the astounding resources needed to acquire one of those canine extravagances on your own (we hear the retrievers are made of pure gold!), Japan has got your back.
Via Ohgizmo.com
Sigh -- Of course it's Japan. Why would we think it wasn't?
Just like every other time you wanted to do something weird and vaguely unsettling.
Only available at your local arcade in your local Japan, Virtual Dog Walking lets you take the leash of a dog-like companion -- which is spread eagle atop its doghouse for some reason -- step on the treadmill, and for a low entrance fee simulate the experience of walking side by side with your pet looking to do its business. There are a few obstacles -- rogue cars, other dogs -- but for the most part, this is all about peacefully walking next to a digital dog, and then crying yourself to sleep in your closet-sized apartment.

And they figure, since they're already sad, why not just double down on this whole sadness thing and get themselves a virtual fireplace? It's not a new idea: There have been fireplace screen savers and roaring-fire videos for decades, but we've always been relegated to spectators of our virtual fires. No longer! Now, finally, we digital fire starters can dive in and deal with all the infuriating annoyances of a real fire, like feeding it, tending it, and struggling to get it lit while our wives and children make cracks about how a real man could do this much quicker, and probably without crying. Yes, truly, a fireplace simulator is a brilliant idea. Now, to pick the right one ...
Yep! There's more than one "fireplace simulator" for the Nintendo Wii. The first one is called Cozy Fire, and it drops you straight into the frying pan. What's that? You want to get out of that frying pan and into the fire? Well you better start gently rearranging logs, friend, or it's going to go out.
But be careful. One false move and that thing could burn your whole dick off.
Ah, but that's for the casual fireplacers. For you hardcore digital flame aficionados, there's Fireplacing. To play, you're instructed to press "A" to drop some logs:
Cue dubstep.
Then you have to press "A" a few more times to stoke the virtual fire, and voila! Congratulations, you beat the game. That's it. If you were hoping all the annoying "tending" duties would teach you anything about making a real fire, or even provide some arbitrary degree of difficulty, prepare for disappointment. Oh, right, you own a fireplace simulator: You and disappointment are already on good terms.
#4. Lawn Mower
Nick Daly/Photodisc/Getty Images
Created by Christopher Orr and released in 1987, Lawn Mower is an ASCII game for MS-DOS in which you slowly build your landscaping empire, one blade of grass at a time. "ASCII" is an acronym that stands for "Who Needs Graphics When You Have a Keyboard," so you know nobody was into Lawn Mower for the beautiful aesthetics. They were into it for the pure, primal rush one only attains by making grass slightly shorter than it currently is.
Via Giantbomb.com
Of course, it sucks that there's no "scare your neighbors" mode where you mow in a thong bikini.
At the heart of it, Lawn Mower was basically an incredibly stripped-down version of Pac-Man. You controlled a little twinkling star that briefly interacted with and ultimately dissolved the grass asterisks (we would've gone with "grassterisks," but Lawn Mower didn't exactly have a writing budget). There were no enemies, but there were obstacles, such as houses, pools, mailboxes, various holes, and a large rectangular structure labeled "dog."
What, were you expecting an actual dog? Haha, no: That's why we have Virtual Dog Walking.
Via Giantbomb.com
At least it has a big yellow "DOG" stamp like in real life.
Sadly, Lawn Mower didn't quite catch on, discouraging Orr from releasing the next few games in his Mind-Numbing Chore series, such as Dish Washer, Garage Cleaner, and the artistically meta Lawn Mower Player.

Are there any patterns to observe in choosing the correct prefix to use? There are other prefixes as well, but these are usually the ones I mix up.
As in unbelievable, disproportionate, asymmetric, and intolerable.
Un and In are probably the ones I more most frequently mix. Is there anything to look for there? Like untolerable/intolerable, unedible/inedible, unexact/inexact, unappropriate/inappropriate, ...
I realize these are all in-, but why?

Interviewed today on ABC's weekly television program "This Week with David Brinkley", Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz spoke about on-going cooperation between Saudi and American security forces following the recent Al-Khobar bombing, the current health situation of King Fahd, and relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
In answer to the two specific questions, why the four perpetrators of last November's bombing were not allowed to be interviewed by American security, and why there had been refusal to widen the perimeter around the Al-Khobar apartment complex, Prince Bandar was adamant that neither statement was accurate, saying: "What's accurate is there was great cooperation between us ….. the end result was achieved by mutual consent". Referring to the punishment of those involved in the Riyadh explosion as a Saudi responsibility, he stated: "The families of the five Americans who died ….. at least saw justice being done". As for security at the Al-Khobar complex, he said: "There was a request that was discussed, plans were made. Nobody knew that at ten o'clock the next evening or the next week, the bomb would go off." Prince Bandar also pointed out that with the Riyadh explosion using 200 pounds of explosive, no one could have guessed that the next would use, not double, or triple that amount, but 3,000 pounds.
Asked if he knew of any outside connection to the two car bombs, Prince Bandar stated: "With Syria, definitely not", and added that he did not rule out any other options, remarking that it was "not appropriate to discuss security measures and broadcast to the other bad guys across the region our intentions or how much we know now, but your security people know what we know."
On the issue of the health of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz, Prince Bandar commented that after a "down period" he is now doing fine, and reported: "The night of the bombing, I was with him until five o'clock in the morning while he was talking to President Clinton and talking to other officials following the case. Secretary Perry spent about an hour or hour and a half with him discussing these issues."
Concerning difficulties experienced by western reporters in getting into the Kingdom to cover the bombing incident, Prince Bandar said that this was not true, since the first of these were in the country only six hours after their request. Concerning accusations of anti-westernism in Saudi society, he said that such a thing is not the general trend, pointing out that Americans have been in the Kingdom since the 1930s. Referring to the attacks, he stated: "They are not attacking Westerners. They are attacking us for being your friend."
In answer to a question on Arab culture being hostile to democracy, and the ensuing discussion on the assumption in the west that democratic nations are pacific and that the Middle East would be pacific if it had more democracy, Prince Bandar, remarking: "The Middle East is a very complex part of the world", posed the question in return: "If democracy, as you describe it, and freedom of the press, is the panacea, why did people bomb Oklahoma?" He posed a further question concerning violence in Israel, if that nation is regarded as democratic. "Crazy people", said Prince Bandar, "happen all over the world regardless of the system."
In conclusion, Prince Bandar reiterated that most Saudis believe that America is their friend, and most Americans believe it too.

Is this true that in the Orthodox Church there are still two quite opposite views existing, one of which holds that everybody will sooner or later be delivered by God from the hell, and another one stating that those who are not saved will be tormented in the hell forever?

Yes and no. In historical Christianity, the term for universal salvation is apocatastasis. Apocatastasis refers to the restoration of all things to their original state, which includes the notion of universal reconciliation (even going so far as to insist that Satan himself will eventually be reconciled to God). The word appears in Acts 3:21.
Since this isn't the Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange, I won't get too crazy on the exegesis of this passage but it must be noted that there is an alternate way to translate it. The word "things" is implied in πάντων in the above translation, but the relative pronoun (ὧν) could be referring to 'of times' (χρόνων). The argument boils down to whether there will be a restoration "of all the things about which God spoke" (as rendered in the above translation), or if there will be a restoration "of all the times about which God spoke." This alternate translation may be responsible for some of the early speculation about apocatastasis.
1 Corinthians 15:28 has also historically been used as a justification for apocatastasis:
Scholars are still divided on where this teaching originated, most pointing the finger at Origen. It is debated whether or not Origen taught apocatastasis and whether this even implied universal salvation. It was certainly a very common belief among many early Church fathers, however. Origen is said to have been posthumously condemned at the 5th ecumenical council along with his belief in apocatastasis as universal salvation. Therefore it is commonly taught that the official teaching of the Christian Church is that universal salvation is heretical. However, many scholars have questioned whether apocatastasis was actually condemned. Origen was also condemned for a number of beliefs he held that were Platonic (such as the preexistence of souls, a heterodox Christology, animistic beliefs, etc.). Scholars have debated whether it was the Platonic foundations that he mixed with apocatastasis that were rejected or the entirety of the doctrine itself. There is significant evidence that suggests that many have misunderstood what was specifically denounced in the 5th council.
The idea as presented by Origen is that since God will be "all in all," then in eternity there will be no place that God is not. Since "God is love" (1 John 4:8), wrath is not an eternal attribute of God but rather how we experience His love without being pure in heart / righteous. Therefore hell is not viewed as conscious torment inflicted intentionally by God as punishment nor as a withdrawal of God's presence, but rather as the experience of the unfiltered love of God. For those who have been made righteous, this is a very positive experience. For those who have chosen to reject His love, it is like a consuming fire that causes them suffering. Origen taught that this fire was purifying and that eventually no one would hold out against God's love. Origen believed that all would eventually be reconciled to God.
Some have stated this by using the analogy of wind: God's love is like wind constantly blowing in one direction. When we walk in His will, the wind has our back and carries us along. But when we go against His will, we walk against the wind and experience His love as wrath. Thus God is always continually loving, but we are the ones who don't know what true love is. This can even be observed in human relationships: consider a loved one who hates a family member. Let's say that Helga is the mean and bitter loved one and Cindy is the kind relative. Helga intentionally buys Cindy a mean gift on Christmas - something that Cindy finds offensive. Cindy knows that Helga will be mean but chooses to love her anyways and purchases a thoughtful gift for her. When Helga opens the loving gift from Cindy, she throws it on the floor in anger and shouts, "You did this on purpose!" Perhaps this is even the key to understanding how God's love can be like "heaping burning coals on someone's head" (Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:20). Many Eastern Orthodox believers view God's love in this manner. Many in our broken culture experience true love as a form of suffering. Orthodox Christians believe that eternity will be no different, since God is always love. This is basically the Orthodox doctrine of 'hell' in a simplified (albeit incomplete) way.
But what about universal salvation? It may be true that people will experience God's love as suffering, but will this experience be eternal? Do Orthodox Christians believe that all will be saved?
We must also consider another great saint who taught apocatastasis but was not condemned for it: St. Gregory of Nyssa. St. Gregory of Nyssa was one of the Cappadocian fathers who repudiated the Platonic teachings of both Irenaeus and Origen. Yet he never repudiated the teaching of apocatastasis, although he did modify it slightly. Since St. Gregory of Nyssa was never condemned as a heretic nor any of his teachings, it is often thought that perhaps apocatastasis is not heretical, but rather the way that Origen had presented it and infused it with Platonism was the problem (technically neo-Platonism for those philosophy/history buffs reading this). Add to this the fact that universalism may not have even been specifically addressed in the 5th ecumenical council and there is a valid argument that this view may not have been considered heretical by the early Church (cf. this, this, and this).
These beliefs can be seen throughout both Eastern and Western Christians through the medieval period, all the way up until the Reformation in the West. This hope for an eventual universal reconciliation has continued in much of Eastern Christianity - but not in any dogmatic way (this would be counter to the Orthodox approach to theology, which is a discussion for another time).
Of course you can find Orthodox Christians who vehemently support either extreme, but you can also undoubtedly find Universalists within mainline conservative Protestant denominations as well. The presence of alternate opinions does not imply agreement from all those within a tradition. There are also many underlying related concepts that I do not have time to sufficiently address, such as the notion that heaven and hell are 'places' that exist within space and time, the apophatic approach to theology, and much more.
The best way to summarize the position of the Eastern Orthodox Church is perhaps to say that they hold out hope for the eventual reconciliation of all to God. Thus it would be heretical to say that all will be saved, but it is legitimate to hope that all may be saved.
Here is a scholarly article tracing Patristic teachings on apocatastasis.

This is a follow-up to this question:
How do I correctly reference Users in GQL queries on App Engine?
In my app, I have a Photos db.Model, where each photo has a UserProperty. I want to display a list of users, where clicking on a user will show all of the user's photos.
What is the best way to reference the user when creating a link to the user's photo page?
I've found two options, both which have their shortcomings.
- user.nickname() - this can be used in a GQL query (e.g. Photos.gql("WHERE user = USER(:1)", user.nickname()) ), but it can change, it's not necessarily unique, and sometimes (e.g. for Gmail addresses) user.nickname() truncates at the '@' symbol and can't be used for lookups without appending "@gmail.com".
- user.user_id() - this is unique, but I haven't found a way to lookup a user by the user_id()
Is there a better way to do this? Currently, I'm storing both the user and the user_id() on the Photo model, doing a GQL search by user_id passed in the link, and then referencing the user from the UserProperty on the Photo model.

Good nutrition is especially important for people with cancer. That is because the illness itself, as well as its treatments, may affect your appetite. Cancer and cancer treatments may also alter your body's ability to tolerate certain foods and to use nutrients.
The nutrient needs of a cancer patient vary from person to person. Your doctors, nurses, and dietitians can help you identify your nutrition goals and plan strategies to help you meet them. Eating well while undergoing cancer therapy can help you to:
Eating well means eating a variety of foods that provide the nutrients you need to maintain your health while fighting cancer. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein: Protein helps to ensure growth, to repair body tissue, and to maintain a healthy immune system. Without enough protein, the body takes longer to recover from illness and you will have a lower resistance to infection. As such, people with cancer often need more protein than usual. Following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, additional protein is usually needed to heal tissues and to help prevent infection. Good sources of protein include lean meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, nuts, dried beans, peas and lentils, and soy foods.
Carbohydrates and fats: Carbohydrates and fats supply the body with the bulk of the calories it needs. The amount of calories each person needs depends on his or her age, size, and level of physical activity. Sources of carbohydrates include fruits, vegetables, breads, pasta, grains and cereal products, dried beans, peas, and lentils. Sources of fat include butter, margarine, oils, nuts, seeds, dairy products, meats, fish, and poultry.
Vitamins and minerals: Vitamins and minerals help ensure proper growth and development. In addition, they allow the body to use the energy (calories) supplied in foods. A person who eats a balanced diet with enough calories and protein usually gets plenty of vitamins and minerals. However, eating a balanced diet can be challenging when you are receiving cancer treatment, particularly if treatment side effects persist for long periods of time. When that is the case, your doctor or dietitian may recommend a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement.
Water: Water and fluids are vital to health. If you do not take in enough fluids or if you are vomiting or have diarrhea, you may become dehydrated. Ask your medical team how much fluid you need each day to prevent dehydration.
You can use the American Cancer Society Guidelines for Nutrition for Cancer Prevention below to help you plan what to eat each day. The guidelines serve as a general guide for healthy people that lets you choose a healthful diet. People with cancer, however, may have increased nutritional needs. For example, your doctor or dietitian may suggest increasing the number of servings of specific types of food.
Changes in your eating habits and a loss of appetite may occur as a result of cancer and its treatment. If this happens to you, try eating small, frequent meals and snacks every one to two hours. Keep high-protein, high-calorie snacks and foods handy to eat when you are hungry. Avoid food smells caused by food preparation.
Cancer and its treatments can cause changes in your senses of taste and smell. If you are having this problem, try foods or beverages that are different from ones you usually eat. Also, keep your mouth clean by rinsing and brushing, which in turn may improve the taste of foods.
Pain medications, changes in your eating habits, and decreased physical activity can cause your bowels to move less frequently and stools to become more difficult to pass (constipation). If you have constipation, try eating high-fiber foods that can stimulate your bowels to move. Examples of high-fiber foods include whole grain breads and cereals, raw fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, seeds, beans, legumes, and nuts. In addition, drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, eat at regular times, and increase your level of physical activity .
Some people with cancer may have a sore mouth, mouth sores, or a sore throat. If you have these problems, eating soft, bland foods and lukewarm or cool foods can be soothing. On the other hand, foods that are coarse, dry, or scratchy should be avoided. In addition, you may find that tart, salty or acidic fruits and juices, alcohol, and spicy foods may be irritating and should be avoided. Rinsing your mouth regularly with one teaspoon of baking soda and eight ounces of water or salt water can help prevent infections and improve healing of a sore mouth and throat.
Cancer treatments and medications can cause your bowels to move much more frequently and stools to become very loose (diarrhea). If you have diarrhea, you may need to avoid high-fiber foods, which may make the problem worse. These include nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes, dried fruits, and raw fruits and vegetables. You should also avoid high-fat foods such as fried and greasy foods, as they can also promote diarrhea. In addition, stay away from gassy foods and carbonated beverages. Be sure to sip fluids throughout the day to prevent dehydration. Once the diarrhea has stopped, slowly begin eating foods containing fiber.
Some people with cancer may experience nausea and vomiting. If you have these problems, be sure to take in plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Sip water, juices, and other clear, calorie-containing liquids throughout the day. You may tolerate clear, cool liquids better than very hot or icy fluids. When you have stopped vomiting, try eating easy-to-digest foods such as clear liquids, crackers, gelatin, and plain toast .
Some cancer treatments and medications can cause dry mouth or thick saliva. If you have either of these side effects, drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and eat moist foods as much as possible. In addition, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth regularly with baking soda and water or salt water to help keep it clean and prevent infection. Avoid commercial mouthwashes and alcoholic and acidic beverages because they can dry and further irritate the mouth.
People going through cancer treatment can experience weight loss during times of decreased appetite or other treatment related side effects that affect the ability to eat. It is important to eat whatever works during this time to maintain body weight and protein stores. You may benefit by the use of liquid nutritional products during this time like Ensure® , Boost®, etc.
Women that receive breast cancer treatment can also gain unwanted weight during and/or after the treatment process. The reason for this weight gain is not clear but may be due to hormonal changes as well as decreased activity, depression, and other factors. While this side effect is disconcerting to most, it is helpful to know about in advance. This way, you can adjust your eating habits accordingly if you begin gaining weight. Your dietitian can also assist you with modifying your diet to minimize weight gain.

BioShock and BioShock 2 Bundle PC Video Game for $3.99 + free shipping
Use code GFDAPR20. If you don't have them, you should get them.
6 Comments add a comment
Note that these games cannot be activated through Steam - you must use Gamefly's own software. Huge downer, but still worth the price!
Someone was just telling me over the last weekend to pick these up if I hadn't if I could find them cheap. I think this qualifies. Thanks!
@zedavatar: I thought the same thing as I was buying it. But, 3.99 ... that kind of makes up for it I think.
@jha1223: Unless you have a bunch of other gamefly titles, I bet you never play them. At least, that seems to be the case for me with Origin vs Steam. If it ain't on steam, it don't get played. (Why does every publisher think "Hey, we've got to have our own distribution platform so we can compete with Steam"? They can't compete. All they can do is annoy their users with yet another rinky-dink, poorly implemented obstacle that stands between their customers and their games, and push their games out of sight and out of mind.
Tempting since I don't have BioShock 2, but like everyone else says, "Really, Gamefly?" I'll wait until the Steam summer sale and hope.
So I can't just buy the discs, pop them in my PC and play? Hoe are they supposed to "activate" my purchased games?
