If you need beautifully custom designed and printed paper goods, please read on!
I provide letterpress printing for invitations, coasters, social stationery, packaging, business cards, and anything else you can imagine. I can even print small runs on fabric!
What is letterpress printing?
A brief history:
Letterpress printing involves pressing a raised and inked image / design against paper leaving a slightly debossed impression. It is a very elegant process, the machinery is beautifully simple. In the past, printers set individual pieces of lead type along with wood cuts, or metal plates, to create a finished piece. If you would like to learn more about the history of letterpress, I reccomend visiting this site for lots of useful information.
These days, many letterpress printers utilize photo-polymer plates for printing. These flexible and strong plates can take the shape of just about anything you can draw or design on your computer. Setting lead type is an art into itself as almost all of the type is I still utilize handset type but prefer to polymer plates.
Do you have a minimum number of pieces for an order?
No minimums, however, letterpress print work is very process and labor heavy. Setting up the press for each pass (and that means each individual color), mixing inks, and adjusting the pressure are things that take time. After you have spent some of of your budget on this part of your project, wouldn't you like to have as much finished work as possible? Your price per print will decrease incrementally when your total order increases.
What I need from you:
Every project starts with an inspired idea. Your initial inspiration can be a color, a shape, or a general theme. I prefer to brainstorm online using [Pinterest]. After our initial conversation about your project I will create a board with inspiration and ideas for different aspects of the piece such as colors, typefaces, cshapes, and general layouts. I will invite you to share this board with me so you may add to it as well. If Pinterest isn't for you, I'm happy to compile screen grabs of elements and email to you.
Do we need to meet in person?
Nope! No need. But if you are in the area I would reccomend it. Sometimes nothing beats being able to touch paper samples. However, this process can be completed online and via telephone.
How long does it take?
Depending on the press schedule, printing your job should take one to two weeks to complete. Often times jobs are completed sooner.
I want to submit my own design for you to print:
Fantastic! Here's what I need:
Ideally, you will send me a your illustrator (.ai) file. Make sure you outline all your text. It is very easy to miss small elements of text. Check and check again. Your file must be created using a CMYK space in your design program. All elements in 100% Black. (K 100%)
For your two or more color designs, please print separations using spot colors (Pantone) or CMYK separations.
Skinny jeans, yes! Skinny lines, no. Please ensure that the width of your lines, for illustrations and text, are no smaller than .5pt wide. Take care with digital brushes with thin tapers ad these will not plate correctly, thus adding more time and money for your job.
Press ready, please! When I receive your file I will look through it make sure the design is a good fit for letterpress printing. For example, you want to try and design with balance. The process involves pressing a plate flat against the paper. If half your design is very heavy and complex, but the other half of the plate has three small characters 'floating' , obtaining correct pressure will be more complicated, take longer to print, and end up costing you more of your budget. Another thing to watch out for are designing large fields of solid color. Letterpress is an over-achiever at line art. But confronted with, for example, a 3x3 inch square of solid ink coverage, your results will be quite inconsistent, some might even say splotchy or salty. Please feel free to put me in contact with your design department so I can assist them on file prep. To learn more about how to prep your files for letterpress, please read this from Boxcar Press.
Wait! I even made my own printing plate. Can I use that, too?
Absolutely! I am more than happy to use your plates. Please note that you assume responsibility for the quality and 'print-ability' of your plate.
**Can you design for me?
Yep! I have a flat fee of $200 for most project designs. If the project is more complex, my hourly design fee is $65.
What are my paper an ink color choices?
I custom mix my inks so pretty much any color you can imagine is at your disposal.
For your paper, I carry two lines, French Paper 140# (for a smooth finish) and Cranes 'Lettra' 110#, which is a velvety pillow-like stock. Both are in soft white. Depending on the size of your project, I may have other color / brand options available. I can access many other shades as a custom paper. Special fees may be incurred for special orders and your time line may be slightly increased.
I need a custom bound book.
Custom binding is priced by the job. No jobs are the same. Here is one example of a popular item; the wedding register book. A 40 page exposed stitch, cloth covered book with foil stamped names will typically cost no more than $125.00

A group of future young leaders in Welsh agriculture have launched a video setting out their case for policies that could shape a strong farming industry in Wales post-Brexit.
The video message to policy makers, outlining key priorities, was launched by the Farming Connect Agri-Academy Rural Leadership Programme group at the 2017 Royal Welsh Winter Fair in Llanelwedd.
Covering issues ranging from technology and the Welsh language to the economics and promotion of farming, the 12 Programme members set out their vision for a resilient and vibrant future for Welsh agriculture.
A panel of industry experts were on hand to discuss their outlook in a question and answer-style session at the Winter Fair, asking the Programme members how they would deliver on some of their suggestions.
Alan Davies, managing director of the Farmers' Union of Wales, Rebecca Williams, Wales director of the Country Landowners Association Cymru, and Gareth Wilson, head of Future Farming Policy at the Welsh Government, were joined on the panel by Kevin Roberts, chair of Hybu Cig Cymru, and John Mercer, director of NFU Cymru.
Questioned on their solutions for safeguarding Welsh agriculture post-Brexit, their strategies centered on initiatives to make the industry more attractive to young people.
Many believed there was a strong case for apprenticeship schemes in agriculture.
James Evans, of Nant Gwynant, Gwynedd, said such schemes bring people into the industry. "It is very important that the industry doesn't stagnate and that we have the next generation coming through.''
Farmer's daughter Awel Mai, a solicitor working for a specialist rural law firm in Welshpool, urged the government to consider providing emergency financial support to farming businesses hit hardest by Brexit trade issues outside their control.
That funding, which would have a qualifying threshold, could be in place for three years, she suggested.
"Farmers, clients and neighbours are all worried about what is going to happen in two years' time. Financial security is up there with trade in terms of concerns.''
Dafydd Jones, who is also vice-chair of Wales YFC, urged the Welsh Government to tackle disparities in the provision of a good communications network.
"Technology is playing a big role in the loss of the rural workforce. I have no telephone signal at home – I have no Gs let alone 5G – and it is very restrictive.''
The session was chaired by Professor Wynne Jones OBE FRAgS, chair of the Farming Connect strategic advisory board.
Professor Jones said the session had shown that the best investment of any funds was in developing people. "We are reaping the benefits of the Agri Academy programme,'' he said.
The Rural Leadership Programme offers an intense package of residential sessions, seminars, workshops and study visits including a visit to Brussels, to inspire and develop the next generation of leaders within rural Wales. Securing a place on the Agri Academy has opened doors for its alumni and provided a platform to progress to leadership roles within the industry.
The application window for the 2018 Agri Academy opens on 23rd of January and the class of 2018 will be handpicked through a competitive selection process in 2018.
For more information on the Agri Academy please visit www.gov.wales/farming connect or contact Einir Davies on 01970 636 297 /firstname.lastname@example.com.

''A Beautiful Mind,'' Ron Howard's emotional thriller about a brilliant but schizophrenic mathematician, won the Golden Globe Award for best dramatic motion picture tonight, while ''Moulin Rouge,'' Baz Luhrmann's self-consciously gaudy attempt to resurrect the movie musical, was named best comedy or musical film.
Many had hoped that the 59th annual Golden Globe Awards would help clarify what had been a fairly muddled movie awards season, perhaps giving some indication of what films were likely to figure prominently in the Academy Awards in March. Certainly, both ''Moulin Rouge'' and ''A Beautiful Mind'' got significant boosts at tonight's ceremonies, which were held in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel here.
Mr. Howard's film also won for Russell Crowe's lead dramatic performance as the mathematician, Jennifer Connelly's supporting performance and for Akiva Goldsman's script, while Mr. Luhrmann's anachronistic musical, mixing period settings with contemporary songs, won for Nicole Kidman's lead performance and Craig Armstrong's score.
Sissy Spacek won the award for best actress in a dramatic film for ''In the Bedroom,'' playing a mother trying to overcome the violent death of her son.
One of the evening's bigger surprises, and the source of the longest ovation, was Robert Altman's winning the best director award for ''Gosford Park,'' a murder mystery set on an English country estate. ''Gosford Park'' was widely seen as a solid return to form for one of the legendary American directors of the 1970's.Continue reading the main story
Among the films that are considered strong Oscar contenders and held multiple nominations going into tonight's ceremonies yet came away empty-handed were ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,'' ''Mulholland Drive'' and ''Ali.''
Ms. Kidman thanked her ''elegant Mama.'' Ms. Connelly thanked her 4-year-old son. Jim Broadbent remembered his mother, too. Gene Hackman had missed his airplane connection in the Caribbean, so he thanked no one. Stanley Tucci began thanking strangers in the audience.
Charlie Sheen said winning a Golden Globe was ''like a sober acid trip.'' And later, as a fellow Brat Packer, Kiefer Sutherland, was also winning an award, Mr. Sheen was standing before reporters backstage. ''Wow,'' he said, shaking his head. ''Kiefer won? They're really going hard against the grain tonight, aren't they?''
If anything, it has been hard to find the grain in this murky awards season, much less go against it, which may be why many were hoping that tonight's ceremonies would offer some clarity.
Mr. Hackman won the award for best actor in a comedy or musical film for playing an eccentric patriarch in ''The Royal Tenenbaums.'' Ms. Kidman played a slinky, troubled nightclub chanteuse in ''Moulin Rouge.''
Ms. Connelly's best supporting actress award for ''A Beautiful Mind'' came for playing the wife of the mathematician, John Nash. ''Oh my gosh,'' she said, accepting the first award of the evening just moments after the show began. ''That was fast.''
A short time later Mr. Broadbent, a veteran British stage and film actor, won the best supporting actor award for his role in ''Iris.'' His mother had suffered from Alzheimer's, he said, and he was able to draw upon her experiences in playing the husband of the novelist Iris Murdoch, who also suffered from that disease.
Mr. Broadbent seemed a little stunned by the size and scope of the ceremonies. ''They don't have red carpets that long in England,'' he said.
Jennifer Garner, who was named best actress in a television drama for ''Alias,'' also seemed a little stunned to have won. She remembered asking the show's producer why she got the role. ''I don't know why you cast me in the role,'' she said. ''I know I was good in 'Dude, Where's My Car?,' but seriously.''
The Golden Globes, presented by the 90 or so members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, have become the key event in the weeks leading up to the announcement of the Academy Award nominations, which will happen on Feb. 12 this year. The Globes are awarded in 14 film and 11 television categories.
It was a banner night for Australians, and for HBO. Mr. Luhrmann, Mr. Crowe, Ms. Kidman and Rachel Griffiths, who was named best supporting actress in a television series, are all Australians. And HBO took all three top television awards: best dramatic series, best comedy series and best mini-series.
HBO's ''Band of Brothers'' won the award for best television movie or mini-series, following a group of United States soldiers from D-Day through the end of World War II.
Backstage, two of the producers of ''Band of Brothers,'' Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, horsed around for reporters. Mr. Spielberg said that since he felt he worked for Mr. Hanks on the project, he would let him field all questions. Mocking surprise, Mr. Hanks ordered Mr. Spielberg to fetch him a cup of coffee. ''Black, no sugar,'' he said. Mr. Spielberg responded by holding up his fingers like rabbit ears behind Mr. Hanks's head as he answered questions.
HBO's ''Sex and the City'' won the award for best comedy series, and its star, Sarah Jessica Parker, was honored for her lead role.
Judy Davis was named best actress in a mini-series for ''Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows,'' and James Franco won the award for playing the lead role in the made-for-television movie ''James Dean.'' Mr. Tucci won the award for best supporting actor on television for the television movie ''Conspiracy,'' and Ms. Griffiths won for her supporting role on the series ''Six Feet Under.'' That show also won the award for best dramatic television series, another victory for HBO.
Mr. Sheen won the award for best actor in a television comedy series, ''Spin City,'' and Mr. Sutherland for best actor in a dramatic series, ''24.''
An antiwar film from Slovenia, ''No Man's Land,'' won the award for best foreign language film.
Harrison Ford, who has been accumulating career honors in recent years, including the American Film Institute's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000, tonight added the Foreign Press Association's Cecil B. DeMille Award to his roster. ''This is a great business to grow old in,'' Mr. Ford said backstage. ''It's not like the rodeo.''
The ceremonies were held behind a larger than normal security cordon. Once inside, it was essentially business as usual. Stars, moguls and their entourages paraded down a camera-lined red carpet along the hotel's entry drive amid flashbulbs and spotlights.
Walking into the ceremonies down the endless red carpet, the director David Lynch seemed almost like a character lost in one of his surreal films. ''Well, I am suffering it a little bit,'' he allowed. ''You didn't sign up for this kind of thing, but if you put one foot in front of the other, you're going to be O.K.''
An article on Jan. 21 about the Golden Globe Awards misstated the country of origin of ''No Man's Land,'' which won the award for best foreign-language film. It is from Bosnia, not Slovenia.
An article on Jan. 21 about the Golden Globe Awards omitted an actress from a list of Australians who won the film prizes this year. She is Judy Davis, who was named best actress in a mini-series for ''Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows.''

The CBFC guidelines under the chairmanship of its new helmerPrasoon Joshi are getting clearer now.
Apparently Joshi who stays away from the process of certification and lets the CBFC board members do their job(unlike his predecessor Pahlaj Nihalani who was far more hands-on) has made it very clear that an 'A' certificate means that the content no matter how sexually aggressive, remains untouched as long as women are not demeaned or ridiculed.
Director Ananth Mahadevan whose erotic thriller Aksar 2 went to the CBFC this week came away largely unscathed with all the skin show and smooching intact.Even the word 'fuck' was allowed.
Only 'bitch' was asked to be removed.
Mahadevan has replaced it with the word 'buddhi'(old hag), though it's not clear how calling a woman a 'hag'is less insulting than calling her a 'bitch'
Says Mahadevan, "I think in all fairness the viewing committee has taken a very mature view of our film giving it a clean 'A' certificate without major cut."
According to the director,the logic offered by the CBFC for allowing 'fuck' and disallowing 'bitch' was this: "The 'F' word is used as a swear and not to suggest the sex act. As far as the the word 'bitch' is concerned the board members felt it was derogatory to a lady hence better to replace it. Come to think of it, I love dogs too much to use 'bitch' as an insult."

Naitguolf replied to doomslayer11122's topic in Doom GeneralI remember a DooM RPG upgrade version with ceiling and floor graphics. Anyone knows exactly what version is? I wonder if can be possible to play with that .jar emulator...
GZdoom Zero tolerance
Naitguolf replied to artemlan's topic in Doom EditingHope a release soon. I extracted all enemies sprites almost a year ago. Hope this mod made uses of them :) http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=48804&p=840758&hilit=zero+tolerance+sprites#p840362
Map16: CALLED IT!
Naitguolf replied to Linguica's topic in Doom GeneralVery, very nice. :)
R.I.P DOOM on DOSBox?
Naitguolf replied to EduXYZ's topic in Doom GeneralBecause as I am not playing anymore on a 14'' screen, old SB16, neither MsDos... and now its possible to play at 60fps, hi-res gfx, hi-res sounds, hi-res music, smooth sprites... To me, really makes no sense.
Thank You to All Level Designers . . .
Naitguolf replied to rdwpa's topic in Doom GeneralYeah, thank you you all you make DooM as frash... what the hell, even better!! as first day.
ALIENS: The Ultimate Doom (Beta 9.2)
Naitguolf replied to Kontra Kommando's topic in WADs & ModsYeah, very nice mod, but how hard could be just an option to add only aliens? Not all enemies to be turned aliens, some of them just are eggs for decoration or nothing at all to compesate how hard aliens are. For sure, not only me will enjoy it. :) Regards.
New textures for John
Naitguolf replied to Soundblock's topic in WADs & ModsWell, if Mr. Romero wants, what about a community work making a texture pack just for him to make a level with it?
More new info here.
Naitguolf replied to Hofmann's topic in Doom 2016Mmmm arenas? That's not good to me...
Yes YES EXACTLY! I really want to explore! :_)
Explaining why the COLORS SUCKS
Naitguolf replied to Noiser's topic in Doom 2016Doom 2 used lots of brown colors... but that monocrome color doesnt blend with the enemies, making them almost indistinguishable from each type as Doom 4 showed on the video.
The good, the bad.....and the Doomguy with the gun
Naitguolf replied to Xaero_Four's topic in Doom 2016A cinematic killing, vs a full-ingame event. The same happens with the latest Mortal Kombat. Hope they add a good "feedback" when you hit (not killing) a monster. Good nice blood flying, some flesh, etc. So you can said: Uh... that's hurt....
Why is no one talking about level design?
Naitguolf replied to GoatLord's topic in Doom 2016yeah, its hard to explore, when the game is just a pretty corridor. Probably the issue is that, too many assets asigned to decoration, so no space to make more places to explore.
So that one recolored screenshot that everyone likes...
Naitguolf replied to Antroid's topic in Doom 2016New Shadow Warrior was colorful. And was nice looking. Not needed to use just one color. To me, that stupid filter makes all the enemies looks the same. We live in a colorful world... c'ome on, lets use the rest of color!!!
So what you think about the items that are given away from the enemies's death?
Naitguolf replied to Amph's topic in Doom 2016Totally I dislike it. Only for humans, and not using that blue-ey-this-you-can-pick-it!!!
Then again, hope you are right (I have yet to see how mapping will be, did ID speak about it? anyway for for god sake, they needed to do a hologram to show you need to go downstairs to pick the arm?) that map probably its just a show-how-cool-game-is than a map for the finished DooM.

EPCA issues advisory to Delhi-NCR states on dust pollution control
The Supreme Court-appointed watchdog EPCA today issued an advisory to chief secretaries of states in Delhi-NCR asking them to take "urgent steps" for controlling dust pollution, officials said.
EPCA (Environment Pollution Prevention and Control Authority) member Sunita Narain said, "We are monitoring the situation and may impose 'severe plus' tomorrow if things do not improve."
The decision by the EPCA comes amid high pollution levels in Delhi mainly due to dust storms from Rajasthan, as the air quality in the city deteriorated beyond "severe" level today.
The Environment Ministry said dusty conditions were likely to prevails for the next three days.
"We have sent an advisory asking chief secretaries of states in Delhi-NCR to take urgent steps for controlling dust pollution," Narain said.
The Supreme Court-appointed EPCA is empowered to enforce the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) in the city.
While Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has formulated six categories, which refer to different levels of pollution —good, satisfactory, moderately polluted, poor, very poor, severe and above severe — EPCA's action plan, termed GRAP, has formulated five categories. These are severe plus or emergency, severe, very poor, moderate to poor and moderate.

Ponderings on beauty and how things have changed.
Most of you know that I have 2 sons. They don't have much interest in the beauty world, so I'm probably not going to need to pass on a lot of knowledge to them in that regard, except to teach them that sometimes girls need to spend an hour in the bathroom to look as pretty as they possibly can, and that if they are the beneficiary of that effort, they should take the time to really appreciate it.
I also have a nephew, who I'll probably get around to teaching the same thing about girls and their bathroom time. Then there's my niece. She's already beautiful. She's got these gorgeous almond-shaped eyes and lovely skin, and I'm sure she got all of the best things from both sides of the family in that regard, so all I want to teach her when she gets old enough to learn about beauty and makeup and skincare (and she'll learn most of it from her mum, who is also gorgeous) is to be thankful for the good things she got. I, for example, am extremely grateful for my skin. I'm 32, I have very few wrinkles, rarely do I ever break out or have blemishes that are difficult to resolve. I'm very lucky to have nice skin. I am also grateful for these massive eyes that are so much fun to make up. i'm lucky, I have pretty eyes and I have learned great makeup techniques to make them really pop.
I really think that's the best thing that we can hand on to our children, or the children in our lives. Find a little love for everything you are, and don't worry about what you're not. Your beauty shines a little brighter when you stop worrying about flaws and shortcomings.

Maybe it's the stress. The drama with getting my parking spot secured for next year. The fact that I have a huge project AND a final to take in less than a week. The homesickness and loneliness that no one seems to be able to help me out with. Or maybe it's my love life. It's so complicated and so messy, I want to just walk away. I want to put an end to something that is causing me unhappiness. But instead, the unhappiness is heightened because I can't yet.
And so overall, everything is making me unhappy. And all the things that I would turn to for relief are not there. Feels like I'm stuck in an unhappy hole and no one is around to pull me out of it, except W, who doesn't have the strength to do it even though he's there. I'm in a bad mood so I will say mean things. Don't want to go into details, just want to say, he's disappointing. Even more disappointing after having invested time and expected him to know me better by now. Maybe he just won't ever be what I'm looking for. And that's too bad...

On the Use of Quotation Marks
Correct Use of Quotation Marks
To represent common jargon in a formal sentence:
He wanted to go to a club and "get down" on the dance floor.
To point out a new word or expression:
The new device, according to Dr. Evil, was a "laser" (a powerful beam of light).
Before a conjunction that introduces an independent clause:
Most of the new system is installed, but the printer isn't connected yet.
In a string of adjectives to call attention to each:
They replaced the old, noisy, slow printer.
To set off modifiers that apply to a sentence:
However, the web page isn't finished.
After a long introductory phrase before the subject of the sentence:
Knowing the readers aren't technical experts, the writers don't use jargon.
To contrast elements in a sentence:
They need to add people to the testing team, not push back the schedule or eliminate testing.
Incorrect Use of Quotation Marks
To break up long groups of words:
WRONG: You can press the ESC key, to return to the menu, and not save changes.
To set off restrictive modifiers:
WRONG: People, who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones.
Between a conjunction and the words it introduces:
WRONG: We need a writer but, we can't get the funding.

My Cancer Story...I was never going to tell here..part one
I'm 31 and a stay at home mom... of soon to be 3 kids. I can close my eyes and I would still be riding horses down trails.. slinging mud on four wheelers ...chasing chickens around.. waiting on Friday night or Saturday morning..because that's when the adventures always began. It didn't last long enough... those care-free kid days. I lost them at 17 years old. I went for a job that required a physical. A simple finger stick changed my life. A few days after that finger stick I was told my life was over. When I was 17 years old I was diagnosed with A.M.L. leukemia. A rare and aggressive cancer. At the time they found it 39 percent of my blood was cancer. I was told no one over 18 percent had every survived it. Therefore I was terminal. They gave me 2 weeks to live. Every time those doctors opened the door and came in they had bad news...horrible news. I was then offered an experimental chemo... If I took this chemo...my hair would fall out... I would never be able to have kids not that, that mattered because I would live maybe 4 weeks. Boy did they sell it good. To a 17 year old what they just describe was as good as saying your gonna die anyways how bout you be a guinea pig first. I refused the treatment. Because in GA 17 is a legal adult and they couldn't do anything to my body that I didn't approve of. My Uncle lost his mind on me. My Uncle Bron... I was always close to the men in my family. My Dad wasn't around much... well my biological Dad I didn't meet until I was 16 years old... and my Step-Dad whom came into my life at 2 years old didn't have much time for me. But my Papa... my Uncle Bron and my Uncle Greg had plenty of time for me. I was the first born grand-baby. I was born to a teen Mom. Who loved me but my grandparents were controlling.. and so they and my Mom raised me. I bounced back and fourth between everyone in my family though. I was a village baby. What I mean is everyone had a hand in raising me. So today the person I am is as much pieces of my Mom as it is pieces of my Uncles and Grandparents...all squished into the pieces that could be only me. Back to my Uncle. I was in Atlanta 80 miles away...he drove towards me like on a mission. I believe I could even feel him heading for me. I waited in my hospital bed dreading what was coming... In stomps Uncle Bron... I figured he was mad he wasn't he was crying. Not openly but I could look in his eyes and read it. The tears he wasn't shedding in front of me. I could feel his fear..his sadness and his anger. He loved me...he wanted me to fight... we are fighters by nature.. Way too much Irish courses through our veins to lay down and take it. He begged he pleaded and eventually he conned me into it. So I took those treatments. He stayed with me through round one. Asked me if I needed or wanted anything... he would get it for me. I did. So I rattled off my list. Pizza Hut Pan Pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese, a tattoo and a corvette. He looked at me with a serious face and said I will get the pizza now... I will pay for the tattoo and hold your hand if the Dr clears it...and you will have that Corvette as soon as I can find you one.. He left and went all over Atlanta in search of Pizza Hut... Its not one of the main chains down there so it took him an hour to find one and get back. By that time I was set up for my first chemo. I sat there with chemicals pouring into that central line that had only been placed this morning. My first in what would be a long line of surgeries. I couldn't feel the chemo going in. Just like they said. I wouldn't feel any pain from it... that would come later. Anyways my Uncle Bron walked in with the pizza and sat it down. I couldn't eat. I was a bundle of nerves. He walked over to the window and said here is your Corvette...pointing to what I thought was outside. I got up excited the chemo forgotten for a moment... and padded over to the window to look down. I couldn't see a corvette in the cars below.. He said its there keep looking. So I did I kept looking... finally I turned to him and he said look down. I looked down and sitting on the window sill was a hot wheel corvette. I busted out laughing.. Called him a jerk and got back in bed. He cleared the nerves out...and so I was ready for pizza... I ate that pizza only to feel the first of the side effects kick in just a few hours later and lose that pizza.. which he was also there for.. there to hold my hand for the first treatment and he was there to hold my hair back for the first of the side effects.... he was there beside me for the whole journey...off and on... the village that raised me was all there at one point or another.... I am looking at the corvette now. It sits on my desk.. it sits on my desk and reminds me everyday...everyday is a gift..and someone I love...loved me enough to beg me to value that gift...even if it was for 2 weeks... or a month. I am just blessed it has been 14 years now... Sadly the man who loved me so much is no longer with us... he knew more about the gift of life than I realized at that time.
To be continued.....
This was just part one of a very long story...

Cas...I know you've told me bits & pieces of this story. I never thought you would share it all. Not because you're ashamed but because I know how it tears you up inside, how it affects you so much. I've always thought you were so tough and strong to survive the cancer. And you're right, if there is something in you saying "share this story" then there probably is someone going through the same thing who needs the hope & the courage that only you can offer. You're a great person & someone deserves to have you as their role model during a difficult time.ReplyDelete
I admire who you are as a person and I feel so honored to consider you my best friend...my sister. I love you, bitch (sorry, I HAD to break up the mushy mushy stuff)!!Replies
I have actually had this post in draft form for about 3 weeks now.. I worked on it some last week..and some last night. I want to tell it in a way that people understand. Yes it was sad.. yes it was scary.. But this was the beginning of what made me...Me. This battle was the battle of a lifetime..and if I can fight it anyone can. Im not saying everyone wins.. but I am saying that there is no need to think your going to lose even if your told that you will..Thank you and I love you back..hooker.Delete
I am a new follower, and I am proud to read your blog about your life. You are so very fortunate to have beaten the cancer. Praying it stays that way. :)ReplyDelete
Hi! I am your newest follower and was hoping that you would stop by and follow me back! What a blessing and such a journey you have been on... wow. :-)ReplyDelete
I'm excited to be following along with you from the Mom's Mingle! You have a great story to share! I would love for you to stop by and link up with the Mommy Moments Blog Hop that I am hosting if you get the chance:) It's a great place to meet some awesome moms!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you're telling this. Ordinarily I would be opposed to a treatment that would make me so miserably sick for my remaining time. But you've changed my mind. If I were ever in this situation I will definitely remember this story.....ReplyDeleteReplies
I think that knowing what I know now.. a moment of wonderful is worth all the battle scars I have. So if its all taken away tomorrow...or it all ends and I am not here. I am so glad that I took that chance. My advice is always take the chance.Delete

The investigational bone-strengthening drug denosumab may be an alternate treatment for patients with bone metastases from advanced solid tumors, researchers said.
In a phase III controlled trial, the drug was noninferior to a standard therapy used to prevent or delay so-called "skeletal-related events," such as fractures, spinal cord compression, or surgery, according to David Henry, MD, of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.
At the same time, overall survival, disease progression, and adverse events were similar with denosumab and zoledronic acid (Zometa), Henry said at Europe's largest cancer congress, the combined ECCO-ESMO meeting in Berlin.
Bone is a common site for metastases, which result in osteoclast-mediated bone destruction, with clinical consequences that include skeletal-related events, pain, and hypercalcemia.
Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets the RANK ligand, a protein that promotes bone destruction.
Standard therapy for bone metastases includes intravenous bisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid, which also block bone destruction, but by a different mechanism.
In the study, nearly 1,800 patients with advanced cancer or multiple myeloma that had spread to their bones were randomized to get one of the drugs every four weeks.
Those in the denosumab arm got 120 milligrams of the drug subcutaneously, along with an intravenous placebo, while those in the other arm got a placebo injection and four milligrams of zoledronic acid intravenously.
The primary endpoint was noninferiority in the time to the first on-study skeletal-related events, Henry said.
Analysis found that patients on denosumab, on average, had no such events for 20.6 months, compared with 16.3 months for those getting zoledronic acid.
The difference was not statistically significant, but fell within the noninferiority boundaries, Henry said.
The drug was also equivalent to zoledronic acid in terms of the time to improvement of pain -- 85 days for both drugs.
Adverse events were similar between the two groups, including osteonecrosis of the jaw -- a rare complication associated with zoledronic acid.
On the other hand, patients taking zoledronic acid had higher rates of acute phase reactions -- those within the first three days (14.5% versus 6.9%).
They also experienced more renal toxicity, including kidney failure and other complications (10.9% versus 8.3%), Henry said.
Those on denosumab had a higher rate of hypercalcemia (10.6% versus 5.6%).
Henry said the comparative efficacy of the drug was "encouraging," adding "there is no need for renal monitoring or dose adjustments due to renal impairment."
Because the drug is used subcutaneously and has little kidney toxicity, it "represents a potential treatment option for the management of bone metastases without the need for renal monitoring," Henry concluded.
The study was supported by Amgen, which makes denosumab. Some of the authors are employees of the company.

Traditional Irish Music
They were/are both session hounds and frequently found at local Irish music sessions in the greater Washington DC area.

This decision to keep the arrest quiet appears to have been made because Khan had been "flipped," i.e., had become a double agent and continued to have email contact with al-Qaeda members in London, e.g., but now with the Pakistani military intelligence listening in.
There was no reason for any reporter anywhere to inquire about Khan, since nothing had come out in Pakistan about his case. Pakistani intelligence was passing on to British intelligence what it was finding out about the London cell. Khan was still communicating with it on Monday August 2.
ABC News now reports the London bombers were part of the original plot that the United States botched for good War On Terror PR.
Officials tell ABC News the London bombers have been connected to an al Qaeda plot planned two years ago in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
The laptop computer of Naeem Noor Khan, a captured al Qaeda leader, contained plans for a coordinated series of attacks on the London subway system, as well as on financial buildings in both New York and Washington.
"There's absolutely no doubt he was part of an al Qaeda operation aimed at not only the United States but Great Britain," explained Alexis Debat, a former official in the French Defense Ministry who is now a senior terrorism consultant for ABC News.
Security officials tell ABC News they have discovered links between the eldest of the London bombers, Mohammed Sadique Khan, 30, and the original group in Luton. Officials also believe it was not a coincidence the subway bombers all met at the Luton train station last week.
The incompetence of this administration is unbelievable. Republicans are going to turn 2006 into a National Security election turning the focus away from domestic issues, just like they did in 2002. Democrats should, to quote the chimp "bring 'em on." We've got Rove and the connection between the London bombings and Muhammed Khan to show the public that the Republican Party doesn't care one bit about terrorism, only about exploiting it for political gain.

Poll: Crist Still Very Popular, but Florida Headed in Wrong DirectionOctober 26th, 2007 by flanews
Governor Charlie Crist continues to enjoy sky-high approval ratings, but a new poll shows a majority of Florida voters don�t like the direction the state is heading.� The Florida Chamber of Commerce poll found that 79 percent of voters approve of the job the governor is doing.� 51 percent believe Florida is heading in the wrong direction, while 32 percent view the future of the state favorably.
�Governor Crist has been able to separate himself from the voter frustration on the property tax issue very effectively," said Kirsten Borman, with the Florida Chamber of Commerce.� "Voters feel that Governor Crist is relating with them on a personal level.� He understands the problem of property taxes.� However, they�re not connecting him with their frustration with the legislature and with the legislation as it relates to the issue.��
The Florida Chamber of Commerce says 39 percent of voters believe property tax relief is a top issue.� That�s up 6 percent from February.

First ones to arrive each day must open the gate and the trailers. The gate is cold and the wind is strong, so I wait in the car and keep the heat going.
The weather was not cooperating and we worked as fast as we could to head out of town.
Our hotel was super nice. It is a Comfort Suite in a ski resort area.
The ground was still covered with ice and overnight more frost fell and froze on the trees.
By afternoon it had cleared up enough to visit the little shops in town. The snow moved back in later in the afternoon. We found a few Christmas gifts as we shopped in the snow, in April!
A really quaint little restaurant we visited is called the Norse Nook. It is a small little place overflowing with atmosphere and we really enjoyed it.
Our whole reason for selecting this city is because it is the location of the very first Famous Dave's BBQ Shack. We love Famous Dave's and visit whenever we get a chance. This one is about 45 minutes from Superior, WI.
As usual the food was great.
The next morning we headed north to Superior, again trying to outrun the snow.

I'm back! Well, almost.
The hoop house!
Long time so blog. I still have not managed to convince anyone else on the ranch to write blog updates, but alas, I have returned and will now proceed in keeping the interested farm friends in the loop.
Where have I been, one may or may not be wondering. Well, last year I decided to do some traveling and seek ag related educational opportunities, mostly in the way of ranch and farm internships in Colorado and Montana. Most notably I spent this summer in Bozeman, MT on a 12 acre Organic farm as an intern along with my partner, Cory. There we learned some of the in's and out's of market vegetables and most importantly came to the realization that we can and should just do it ourselves, like right now.
So, Cory and I will be returning to the ranch to undertake some exciting farm projects for the 2015 season! These will include growing one whole acre of vegetables for market, starting a rotational pastured poultry enterprise, as well as getting fencing infrastructure in place for better management of grazing animals to improve pasture health.
In other news, there was a lot of activity this summer on the farmstead lead by Diane and Ron, supported by the wonderful 2014 intern crew. What stands out in my mind is that they planted a great garden, converted the old goat barn into a much needed hoophouse, conducted interesting weather experiments and kept everything afloat!
And it was another great rain year - the locals report that they've never seen so much water here. Let's hope its a trend!

> Chapter 47
Ezekiel 47
American Standard Version
Waters From Under the Temple
And he brought me back unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; (for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looketh toward the east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters , waters that were to the loins.
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.
And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this ? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Then said he unto me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea'shall the waters go which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.
And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and the waters of the sea'shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh.
And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not whither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.
The Borders of the Land
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph'shall have two portions.
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I sware to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entrance of Zedad;
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border unto the east sea shall ye measure. This is the east side.
And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt , unto the great sea. This is the south side southward.
And the west side shall be the great sea, from the'south border as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

- Dictatorship and Demand: The Politics of Consumerism in East Germany
Like all state-socialist regimes, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) had trouble organizing the production of consumer goods. Unlike the other Soviet-bloc states, however, the GDR was at the front line of the Cold War, and its citizens were able to compare East to West directly, usually to the detriment of the East. The leaders of East Germany's Socialist Unity Party (SED) were well aware that they faced a challenge. After all, before the Berlin Wall was built, hundreds of thousands had fled from East Germany, in part because of the higher standard of living in the West. Mark Landsman's new book examines the East German regime's attempts to respond to the demand for consumer goods from 1947 to 1961 through pricing policy, rationing, central planning, analysis of consumer needs, exhortation of workers to produce more, and, finally, the Berlin Wall itself.
Landsman shows that in the desperate years following World War II, consumer goods in eastern Germany, including food, clothing, and housing, were scarce. Moscow's policy of removing industrial plants and extracting high reparations from the Soviet occupation zone in Germany exacerbated the situation. The first elements of economic planning developed in response to chaos and shortage. Attempts to increase worker productivity by piecework pay, moral suasion, or special rations failed to produce the desired result. Before long, more money was chasing fewer goods, and price-setting and more stringent rationing were the necessary responses. Although consumer goods were scarce in the east well into the 1950s, shop windows in the western zones of Germany were filled with goods after 1947. East German leaders offered some goods at special stores (Handelsorganisationen or HOs) at high prices to soak up extra purchasing power, while still trying to provide basic goods at low prices. But Landsman demonstrates that shortages remained, and the crisis continued. The systemic failure to provide goods and the regime's heavy-handed attempts to increase labor output finally led to the workers' uprising in June 1953. Following that debacle, the regime attempted to shift investment funds to consumer items. Landsman documents the creation of new research units seeking to determine the objective needs of consumers (Bedarfforschung) rather than rely on subjective, individualistic demand (Nachfrage). But when decisions on how to allocate scarce resources were made, the SED tended to favor big industrial projects and guns over consumer goods. A new crisis of production after 1958, precipitated by the East German regime's decisions to push ahead with agricultural collectivization and a military buildup that took funds away from other investment, led to a flood of émigrés to the West—and eventually to the Berlin Wall.
Landsman successfully links the GDR's weak legitimacy with the "political consequences of frustrated desire" (p. 2). The book would have gained, however, from a clarification of the causes of this failure to respond to consumer demand. On the one hand, Landsman seems to argue that the cultural ideals of Communism kept [End Page 147] policymakers from responding to demand. Cultural images of the active, sacrificing, productive, male worker, part of the "proletarian mystique" of the Soviet model, drove policy, he says (p. 5). On the other hand, he paints a regime overwhelmed by both the circumstances of scarcity in the postwar era and the deficiencies of centralized planning. In this depiction, calls for republican austerity may have been intended to put a good face on a bad situation. Landsman ends by arguing that the Erich Honecker's regime drove the country into economic collapse by expending money on consumer goods rather than productive investment. If so, then the problem seems to be one primarily of economic necessity, not cultural ideals.
Landsman may also at times underestimate the ideological apparatus of Marxist Leninist economics. In 1958, as Landsman notes, Walter Ulbricht made the absurd suggestion that within a few short years production in the GDR would "overtake and surpass" that of West Germany, a statement echoing Nikita Khrushchev...
