Evillive (Unearthly Trance, Noisear, Horseback, Slices & more)
by BBG
DOWNLOAD:Noisear – "Endless Reincarnation" (MP3)
Unearthly Trance at Saint Vitus (more by Greg Cristman)
Unearthly Trance shows are few and far between nowadays, but the band will awaken from their live slumber to play Acheron on March 1st as part of a bill that includes The Communion, Water Torture, and Syphilitic Lust. $8 gets you in the door. Check out the flyer below.
Horseback has completed their new LP Half Blood due via Relapse this Spring. Details are limited so far, but Roadburn has more details about the record and its "amalgamation of drone, doom, black-metal, psychedelia, post-rock, noise, and ambience recorded with a wide array of instruments including guitar, bass, drums, keys, piano, bells, contact mics, field recordings, drum programming, noise and various signal processors." Yep, sounds like a Horseback record!
Check out a new Noisear track from their upcoming three-way split with Antigama and The Kill above. The track features vocals by Mitchell Luna of ex-Maruta fame.
Perdition will join Varix, Murderer and Sad Boys at Heaven Street Records TONIGHT (2/3). Door entry will cost you zilch and beers will cost you a dollar. Sounds like a winning night of furious, crusty punk to me.
Drainland will share a split 7″ with Crows due on Suburban Mayhem Records. Stream the material from that release below.
Slices are preparing their new LP Still Cruising for Iron Lung Records. Look for it in the coming weeks and stream "Greensleeves" from the LP below.
One interesting and important footnote to the upcoming Behold the Arctopus show at Saint Vitus on Feb 24th… Support will come from Mindless Blasting and Geryon, two bands which feature Mick Barr with Nondor Nevai and Nick McMaster with Lev Weinstein respectively. Basically, a night of Krallice-related projects… should be interesting. Tickets are on sale.
Like Flipper, a reunited Sleepytime Trio are playing a show at SXSW in Austin this year.
No NYC dates, but Ringworm, Cancer Bats & Primitive are touring from Ohio to SXSW and then back to Ohio together. OFF! were also recently announced on the SXSW lineup.
Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost tickets went on sale earlier today.
Saturday's Ceremony, Pissed Jeans, The Rival Mob, Hoax, Kim Phuc, Gods and Queens show @ Le Poisson Rouge is now sold out.
Converge announced a tour.
YOB recently visited NJ with Tool. Right before that, they headlined their own show in Chicago with Anatomy of Habit and an opening set by YOB's Mike Scheidt who is going to release a solo album this year on Thrill Jockey. BV Chicago has pics from the Chicago show.
If you missed it, check out my interviews we just posted with English Dogs guitarist Gizz Butt and Mark "Barney" Greenway of Napalm Death. (Pilgrim too actually.)

Updated: November 18th, 2019
In the last post, anal sac carcinoma was discussed, including diagnosing these malignant tumors in the dog. In this post, we will cover more on treatments and some data concerning outcomes.
If a guardian is coping with a diagnosis of canine anal sac carcinoma, often major questions arise soon after the news is received. Chemotherapy? Radiation? Diet? Supplements?
As a proponent of guardianship in dogs, my advice is always to get whatever data you can to use as rough guidelines for your particular dog. In this spirit, below is some information concerning survival statistics for dogs with anal gland carcinoma. Please remember that these numbers don't apply to your dog necessarily, as they are calculated based on groups of different dogs.
One study showed the median survival time for dogs with treated tumors was 544 days overall. The upper limit of the range was up 1, 843 days! Those tumors that measured greater than or equal to 10 square cm was 292 days while those with smaller tumors had a median survival of 584 days. (A rough way for your vet to measure the square cm is to measure the radius of the tumor, square it, multiply this by 4, and multiply this by 3.14)
As to which treatment, it looks like the Big 3 conventional steps combined give the best survival chances. These are surgery, chemo and radiation. If you have to pick, go for the surgery as your minimum.
As usual, the additions of apoptogens, diet, immune support, anti-metastatic treatments, and life quality enhancement are a part of the Full Spectrum Plan provided in the Dog Cancer Survival Guide.

MY 6 year old LH dashchund was dianosed with Anal gland carcinoma 1 month ago.
Had the surgery, week after vet felt tumor. The surgeon was a specialist, felt he got it all. The biopsy was long and detailed, but the surgeon said the miotic rate was high
Ultra sound, blood tests,xrays all good, he is doing great…has to go back to vet next week for check up then every 3 months, that is my option or chemo….,so far I have decided against the chemo, I don't want to be in denial, but he is a fighter and very spunky, most news of this thing is not good on here, but the 5 year one was super.
What do you think I should do to get the best out come
Congratulations Kimberly on three great years. It's hard to make any decisions when the stakes are so high, but it sounds as if you made the right one for your family. Please give your girl a lovely cuddle and a 'well done' pat. All the best!
My lab was diagnosed with anal sac cancer in 2012 and now, 2015, she is 15. We decided against surgery due to the invasiveness of the surgery and her age. Also, I am told it likely will return without chemo, a very costly treatment, though effective and less toxic for canines. Our girl is still enjoying walks, occasional swims, food and we made the right choice not treating the cancer.
i just found a large red mass on top of my dog's anus. She is 16 year female. 2 months ago she had an office visit exam and apparently the vet missed it. new vet is doing biiopsy, suspects cancer. If it had been detected 2 months ago would it have made a difference in prognosis?
Hi Carol,
Yes, No, no way to tell. When we get a cancer diagnosis, we humans just have to finds 'whys' and 'why nots' and places to put blame. While early detection is always better, two months is a drop in the bucket and very likely wouldn't have made a big difference. Be thankful that you found it and that you now have a vet on the case. Please don't waste time in fear about what you don't know yet… stay positive, get busy getting her nutrition as top-notch as possible (the Dog Cancer Diet, available in the Dog Cancer Survival Guide book and at http://www.dogcancerdiet.com). When you get the results of the biopsy, write down all the info… yes, no, if yes, stage of the tumor etc. It's time to take deep breaths and just let your girl know you are with her every step of the way. If the result is positive for cancer, there is SO MUCH you can do! We're here to help with loads of information. Good luck!
I wanted to share our experience with others dealing with the same diagnosis because we only controlled the cancer post-surgery with Palladia. 11 yr old male springer/retriever mix. Super healthy boy outside of this. Surgery to remove the mass and two affected lymph nodes. A lot of $ and time/pain through radiation and then 3 doses of chemo. He went into ICU after 2nd dose of chemo…we almost lost him after reaction to chemo. After reduced 3rd dose, ultrasound found it had come back in his lymph nodes. We were devastated after only 4 months post surgery and radiation. We switched oncologists after our first one only recommended doing another full abdominal surgery followed by another chemo. DO NOT let them do this. We declined and got a 2nd opinion. Why would you put your dog through that surgery all over again when it will just pop up elsewhere and you haven't found a proven treatment to control it thereafter? Ask questions…and get 2nd opinions. I am so glad we did. Our new oncologist recommended Palladia because it is different than chemo (which didn't work). So far, it has reduced the size of his infected lymph node, no new growths, and it has given us 7 additional healthy months. He has had some leg cramping and loose bowels. We put him on probiotics and tested some different foods to get him back on track. Things are great. I HIGHLY recommend Palladia before you do radiation or chemo. I wish someone had told us this before all the heart ache, pain for our boy, stress and cost.
My dog just celebrated her 13th birthday in February, more than 5 1/2 years after being diagnosed with anal gland adenocarcinoma (that's more than 2,000 days!). She's been through surgery, a few different chemo drugs, radiation, homeopathy, and Chinese herbal medicine. Add to that, home cooked food and plenty of love. She's a little fighter, and one of the happiest dogs I've ever known.
Congratulations! You are both fighters and I know your love and support gave her all the tools she needed to rally and thrive! Thanks for giving us some good news to celebrate. Give her a hug from all of us on the team. She's a Star!
Hi Therese,
Any chance you can share resource for the Chinese herbal medicine? Our dog, just shy of 14 years was just diagnosed with a tumor. Surgery is out of the question due to his age.
Thank you!!
Hi Theresa I was so happy to read about your dog surviving over 5 years! My Summer girl was diagnosed a year ago and still in remission. I did not do radiation though. Just wondering if you would mind giving me a little more info about what you have done over the years.
Summers Mommy
You have a great website – this is an invaluable resource. Thanks!
Our 12y old German shepherd mix was diagnosed with anal sac cancer earlier this month. A pea-sized lump was discovered during rectal exam associated with cleaning impacted anal glands (he had no other symptoms). It was a short way up the rectum and during surgery, the vet thought it was a GI tract mass and unlikely to be associated with the anal sac (he did not feel anything around them). As a result, he did not remove the (left) anal sac. The biopsy report showed good but small margins (~1 mm), but blood tests (Calcium, CBC) were very good as were follow-up abdominal ultrasound and chest X-rays. Also, he had a small mammary (malignant) tumor removed about 2.5 years ago, with no recurrence (treated since with herbs and supplements)… our vet did not see a connection
We are now considering the next steps – back into surgery to remove the left (or both) anal sacs followed by chemo or just chemo by itself. We decided against a third recommended path, which was radiation treatment for 21 days (on account of daily sedation/anesthesia..he had a tough time (~12 hrs) recovering from sedation from the prior procedures). Our vet has not pushed hard for any specific path. Should the small isolated location and clean diagnostics give us confidence to take the least aggressive path?
Though his tumor in Cubby (Cocker mix) was discovered in Feb 2012, the vet thought it was an "impacted" anal gland. Due to hos long har and the location, it wasn't noticed until Aug of 2013, when it was HUGE. The oncologist said no matter what was done, they couldn't get all the cancer cells and he would live 12 months, maxm even with "heroic" measures. We elected to let him live as he was. Other than incessant thirs (due to high calcium levels) and pooping "ribbons" (flat stools due to tumors inpinging against poop chute), he seemed normal. That is, until today. He seemed to strain more the last day or so, and this afternoon it was explosive diarhea across the house. He can't help it, but I think he is at the end of the road. It is tough when you have had over 20 dogs, but one was as special and close as any other living being in your life (that's ok, I am divorced, so nobody to get upset).
Hi, Dr. Dressler and Dr. Sue,
Just reporting that Paco who had been given 6 mos prognosis w/inoperable anal gland adenocarcinoma with spread to lymph nodes, is still with us and doing well. I started radiation at a facility that I can afford (barely). Just doing 6 treatments. My questions are, how dangerous is this? I just read up on all Dr. D's posts about radiation. 6 seems at least a little safer than a full regimen but still now I'm nervous. Our challenge with Paco is everything from arteminisin to avemar to fish oil to AHCC and mushroom blends gave him diarrhea. And one metronomic chemo pill/piroxicam also made him very ill. Everything I tried systemically was depleting him. Pro-biotics didn't seem to make a dent. And I didn't want to keep him on flagyl. I was told we couldn't do surgery way back when he was diagnosed (too tricky location of lymph nodes. they'd have to open his pelvis??)
He's still pooping okay (tho' still loose even though he's on nothing but raw diet and some cooked food ala dog cancer diet protocol, no grains. orijen 6 fish kibble at night cuz he likes it.)
Also, I give him k9 immunity plus every day. colostrom plus every day. carcinosin every day. and healthy nuggets by Dr. Goldstein (earth animal).
I was told no anti-oxidants during radiation. Onc said, just no mega doses of C and E. Is there anything else I shouldn't be giving him? I'm just trying to keep him happy as long as I can. It's about quality of life for me not quantity which is why I took him off things that made him feel sick. I'm hoping side effects of this radiation won't be bad. And I'm still wondering even though I asked Dr. Sue when I saw her, if I shrink this would it then be a candidate for cyber knife?
Anyway, thanks for reading/listening…
Melinda & Paco
Hello, Dr. D and Dr. Sue,
I could have sworn I had posted this comment last week but it doesn't seem to be here so I'm re-posting. First of all, thanks for all the info. I've been reading and re-reading the Guide, got the Apocaps, K-9 Immunity Plus and transitioning as best I can to the cancer diet. I had appt with Dr. Sue last week but unfortunately, with my Mom in Hospice I couldn't make it. I'm rescheduled but it's over a week away.
Here are my questions:
I gave Paco (who has inoperable Anal Gland Adenocarcinoma with spread to intrapelvic lymph nodes) a single does of Cytoxan/Piroxicam. the next day he had diarrhea and threw up. And he looked so sick. I immediately stopped and we went thru some flagyl and bland diet to get his tummy settled. it spooked me about metronomic chemo though and I was pretty disappointed that the prescribing onc took four days to respond to my call when it happened. I keep hearing from my holistic friends that I should steer clear of chemo and radiation. That his life quality will be poor even if the treatments extend his days. Right now, I'm cooking for him, loving him to pieces getting him outside more than ever and he's full of beans. No one would know he's as sick as I'm told he is. But I understand the 'compensation' factor from reading the guide and the link Dr. D recommended. My heart is breaking though and I'm in a panic. Holistic advice I've gotten: Ozone treatment, chinese herbs and diet with supplements. I'm praying A LOT. I think palliative radiation might be okay but it is so expensive and I'm told it will extend his life only a couple of months. I just don't know how I'll manage the cost, the side effects (?), etc as I'm the long distance care giver for my Mom, which means I'm driving over 4 hrs each way and of course, I have to work but between care taking them both I don't know how I can– and my own health is starting to deteriorate. I know no one can make this decision but I'd really like your opinion… If radiation will shrink the tumor on his gland and lymph nodes, could it then be operable? (I'm told where his affected lymph nodes are makes it to risky regardless). So even if they just got the tumor out, I'd still be looking at chemo to manage the lymph spread. And then I'm back to square one. I've read about graviola, neoplasene… both seem troublesome and unproven. I think I fall into the 'B to C' type (from the guide) of owners who want to do everything they can, but I want my boy to enjoy his life and not have it be an endless round of treatments and management. I say this, but then I have my desperate moments when it's all too much to bear. ugh… Any thoughts appreciated. And thanks again, for all the research and for being a beacon of sanity and reason in this sea of chaos.
Dr D, my mini schnauzer Chloe was originally thought to have hemangiosarcoma but a biopsy revealed it to be ASAC. It appears to have spread to lungs and possibly liver. Surgery is out and so is radiation. I can't see where this would help. Would you (or Dr E) suggest carboplatin,mitoxantrone, or something else? I'm hoping we can treat this as Metronomic Chemo orally if thats possible. Chloe is on the dog cancer diet, Apocaps and K-9 Immunity/wtransfer factor. She is also taking Mirtazapine to help with her appetite because she only wants to eat meat (or treats). Her weight appears stable at about 17lbs.
I'm not sure if you have received my previous messages as they do not appear on the blog. If you get this message please let me know. Thanks, Luke.
I just made an appt with you for next week. If by chance you have an opening before next Wed. pls let me know. I don't want to wait as this is so aggressive and I don't want to start the chemo until I see you. Or should I? Just sent the records to your office.
Hi, Dr. Sue,
Thank you for responding here. I think I would like a second opinion. The Oncologist I took him to recommended either a round of 4 radiation treatments or cytoxan. (Which just arrived in the mail) I am honestly hesitant to do anything. I am worried about the stress of radiation (going to vet, anesthia, etc) and the cost and then the idea that all that will just give us a couple of more months. My biggest concern really is his pain and suffering. If the chemo makes him sick and causes him pain, but keeps him around a few months more, is it fair to him? And if going to the Vet for radiation stresses him so much (he literally shakes like a cartoon almost, his entire body visibly vibrates), is that fair to him, too? He had acute kidney failure almost 3 yrs ago. We think he ate something toxic, we never really found out, but I spent almost 15K on his treatment and we got through it. I think he spent so much time in the hospital that this is why he is so fearful now of Vets. Anyway, I don't want to sound like I don't love him but to spend another 10K or so on treatment that will give him a little more time but also possibly prolong his suffering, I just don't know if I can justify it. Thanks for responding.
Dear Dr. D,
Thank you so much for your time in responding. I asked the vet again yesterday why we couldn't do surgery to remove the lymph nodes along with the tumor and he said that it's because of where they are… it's not just one over by the kidney but a cluster of them and they are misshapen so he feels it would be a very invasive surgery with a high risk of hemorrhaging and if he survives he might just have cancer somewhere else in a month. I guess there's always a second opinion but my Vet and now the oncologist have not been very encouraging. Thank you for the articles, I just read them. I've decided not to do radiation first but will start him on the chemo pills as soon as they arrive. He didn't tell me which ones he was prescribing. I have to admit cost and the stress of bringing him there (he is 'over' the Vet and literally his whole body shakes profusely there) is an issue for the radiation. they quoted me close to 9K for 4 treatments. That was the high end of the range but in my experience these things never come in at the low range. I feel badly but his kidney failure cost over 12K… and the testing for this has been already close to 2K. I tried to buy your ebook version of the guide but there isn't a tab for it? Am I missing something?
Thank you for being here… I am emotionally a mess as my Mom is also in Hospice. It's a lot to lose them both at the same time… 🙁
I just came back from oncologist. My almost 10 yr old PWD has anal gland cancer. It has spread to the lymph nodes in his pelvic area (?). The Onc said we could operate but would it be worth it? It was risky and difficult to get to the lymph nodes – said they'd have to pull apart his pelvic bones? And because of the size of the tumor he might have fecal incontinence.
He said I could either do 4 wks of radiation which might buy him a few more months of comfort or chemo pills. He had a kidney issue a few years back that he fully recovered from but they worry about the toxicity of the chemo pills. I don't know what to do. He is happy and bouncing around, eating and drinking and pooping just fine still. This was supposed to be one of the best oncologists in NY. I'm beyond devastated…Any advice help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your reply Dr. Sue.
Just to clarify since Charley weighs 85 lbs. the recommended dose of Apocaps for that weight is 3 capsules 3 times a day. Should we give him 1 capsule 3 times a day which would be 1/3 of the recommended dose or should we give him 1 capsule 2 times a day which would be less than a 1/4 of the dose? We understand that the dosage can vary but we want to make sure that we are not giving him too much of the Apocaps while he is on chemo and piroxicam.
Thank you again Dr. Sue. We are truly grateful for all the information, assistance and support that you and Dr. Dressler provide.
Best Regards,
Robin and Michael
Hello Dr. Dressler,
Our 8 year old neutered Golden Retriever, Charley, was diagnosed with an inoperable anal gland sac adenocarcinoma with metastasis to sub lumbar lymph nodes and lung about 8 weeks ago. He just completed palliative radiation treatment. He had one treatment a week for 6 weeks and he also received Carboplatin 292mg IV during the first and 4th treatments. The radiation oncologist
feels that Charley has responded well to the treatments and the anal sac tumor has been reduced in size.
Charley is also currently on Piroxicam 12mg one capsule daily and his calcium levels are now within the normal range.
We recently purchased your book The Dog Cancer Survival Guide and are finding it to be extremely helpful and empowering. It is comforting to know that we are not alone in our current situation and that there are things we can do to help our dog.
We would like to start our dog on Apocaps and some of the other supplements mentioned in your book. However, we read in your book that certain supplements should not be given during the course of radiation treatment. How long should you wait after the completion of radiation treatments to begin to use Apocaps and the other supplements you recommend?
Thank you in advance Dr. Dressler.
Best Regards,
Robin and Michael
Update on Kia – They did the ultrasound and found one lymph node enlarged that was pressing on her rectum, but no other tumors found so surgeon was hopefull he could get it all – we proceeded with the surgery removed the one anal sac and both lymph nodes on 6-8-12, she was real soar first few days home but by day three she was jumping on the couch – doing just great – had her calcium levels checked on 6-21-12 and she was at 11. She's back on the K-9 immunity – has been since we brought her home on 6-10-12. Kia has been on grain free diet since her spleen sarcoma 5 yrs. ago. I will pull out my cancer guide book from the last time and freshen up on other supplements. We have made the decision to not do any chemo. We are just going to love her to pieces as long as we can – keep up with the K-9 immunity, and pray for as much time as we can get. Thanks – for the suggestion on diet and getting out my guide to freshen up.
My dog Reba had a high calcium level June 2011 after our vet performed a rectal and found a mass on her left anal gland we immediately went into surgery the next day our vet was confident he got it all. The lab report came back confirming an adenocarcinoma. She recovered wonderfully her calcium level went from 13 to 10.4 in 2 weeks we were so happy!! March 2012 during her annual we ran blood work which we do every 6 months and her calcium was back to 13 we followed that with another rectal exam which confirmed our fear the tumor was back! Back to surgery the next day it went well she recovered within a week. 2 weeks after the surgery we ran bloodwork to make sure calcium was down and it was 10 again we were so happy!!! 3 days ago Reba was having urinary issues so after running a urinalysis and a course of clavamox antibiotics. We were still having issues so we ran blood work now to remind you we had just ran blood work 4weeks ago with normal results, her calcium is now 16 and kidneys are failing this is after 2 surgeries the last being two months ago we are heartbroken because there is nothing we can do at this point she is a 9 yr old husky who we just had to put basically on hospice care.
We just received the bad news on our Kia – 13 yr old springer spaniel who was having problems pooping, finally a vet after 3rd rectal exam in a 2 week period, by a third vet, found the mass. Results from the asperation came back it's malignant. We are taking her to board certified surgeon tomorrow. We have been through cancer with Kia before 5 yrs ago when she had her spleen removed for a grapefruit size sacroma on it. We never did chemo on her then – we changed her diet right away and put her on K-9 immunity – she did great – even though the vets told us without chemo she was only expected to survive less than a year. They still can't believe she is alive today. Unfortunatly money got tight so we took her off the K-9 immunity after about 2 yrs post op. Now I wish we had never done that. I just rush overnight ordered a new supply – we are planning to do the surgery tomorrow to remove the tumor – her calcium levels were high in the blood work done on Tuesday, but other than that the vet said her blood and urinalysis was all normal, so that's good. I know they are going to want to do an ultrasound, and x-ray to see if it has spread. If her blood work looks good I'm wondering if we can skip those very expensive tests and just hope it hasn't spread and that if it has the K-9 immunity will do it's job like it did the last time. Because honestly if it has spread, knowing it won't change or deceision to do chemo or radiation. We do not plan on doing chemo or radiation, we didn't the last time because her stress level is so high when she is at the vet we felt it was best to treat holistically and hope for the best – if she's going to die – we want her to be as comfortable as possible. Has anyone found success with anal sac cancer treating it just with surgery and K-9 immunity? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Jane, I am very interested to know how masitinib worked (or didn't work) for your dog. I'd also be interested if anyone else has any experience using mastinib (kinavet) to treat anal sac cancer. My almost 14-yr-old female lab was on Palladia with good results for about a year, but it appears it has stopped working. We are considering starting masitinib to see if it helps, but our oncologist doesn't know of any cases of masitinib being used to treat anal sac cancer. We previously did surgery to remove the anal sac and used mitoxantrone, but the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes by about 9 months after. We then tried carboplatin with very poor results. Then it was Palladia, which was really like a godsend for about a year; she had a little tummy upset and maybe some increased lameness, but the tummy issues weren't as bad as on carboplatin or mitoxantrone. Palladia had worked so well for so long, I was really surprised to find out it was not working anymore. But, I am still grateful that my dog has made it through the past 2.5 years since her diagnosis considering it is such an aggressive cancer. I need to try out the cancer diet, but my dog has allergies, so we avoid chicken, pork, lamb, beef, corn, soy, and wheat. She has been eating venison or fish dog food and actual venison, when I can get it. Thank goodness it is almost deer season in Texas. I may have to take up hunting to feed my dog, at this rate!
Again, if Jane or anyone else has any experience using mastinib (kinavet) to treat anal sac cancer, please post! Many thanks, and good luck to everyone else dealing with this really nasty cancer.
I am sorry that I had not seen your post earlier. I certainly understand, as well as everyone on this posting, exactly what you are going through. This stuff is a very fast progressing type of cancer and can grow so quickly. This is probably why you found it and not someone else during a checkup or during grooming. I have a 10 year old beagle who had one removed that was large like your pet's. I found her tumor myself. I took her in to see my vet and we went ahead and did surgery the next day. She did just great during surgery. When I picked her up, she came out walking quickly almost running, and was so ready to come home. She didn't really seem to be in pain, although I did give her pain medication as directed. She experienced a little fecal incontinence for about 5 or 6 days after surgery. I used the disposable adult pads around the area she would lay in the house and used baby wipes to clean her up to keep her surgical site clean. After just a few days post-op, I started taking her out to her favorite places to walk to encourage her to continue her normal routine and I feel that this helped her regain muscle control. By her post-op check up one week later, she had mained all control of her bowel movements. She did great. As far as diagnostic tools, I had ultrasounds and x-rays persformed as well as blood work done to get a grasp of everything that was going on with her. This type of cancer releases a pseudo hormone that will make their calcium level skyrocket. Once the tumor was removed her calcium went to normal. So this is one thing that I am monitoring. No matter what you decide to do, there are many options that you can choose from or combine: surgery, chemo, radiation, diet change, supplements, and I am sure I am forgetting something. But basically you have to find what best for you and your pet. Dr. Dressler's book helps you with this process. In my case, I did surgery and due to other things going on with my pet, I am unable to do any treatments other than diet change and supplements, which is a large contributor to fighting cancer alone. So in addition to this, I am treating her for her other issues. Dr. Dressler has a diet that really works well with my pet that you can find here: https://www.dogcancerblog.com/ in case you haven't already stumbled on this. (Also read a few posts up and you will see where you can get his guide and supplements if you are interested.) I just want to wish you the best with your dog, and I hope everything works out well for you guys. And believe me, I am one that takes my pet every where with me traveling unless I have to fly. She is part of me and I certainly understand what you must be going through.
I just found a walnut sized rock hard tumor on my dogs right anal area. The vet took a needle aspiration and I will get the results in the next two days. I am brokenhearted just thinking about what is to come, he is a very happy 12 yr old poodle wheaton mix. My vet is not the vet I would have treat him or do surgery so I will be looking for someone who has expertise with this type of tumor. I live in Los Angeles, in the SIlverlake area, and would appreciate any oncology referrals. Being in the healthcare field myself and having read all of the poor stats about survival, surgery complications, and poor coutcomes I have great reservations about putting my dog through surgery. For those of you who did, was it worth it? How long was your dog in pain? Do you feel that their quality of life has improved? Are they able to have normal bowel movements without pain? I have so many fears and reservations and yet I want to act quickly in his best interest. I was feeling optomistic reading some of the surgery stories here. I will have lab work and xrays done this week to see if his kidneys are being affected and if it has spread – why my vet didn't do those tests the same day that we found it (this past Saturday) I do not know. And I will tell you that I am also angry that being so dilligent and taking him in for check ups regularly and having his anal glands expressed every time he's at the groomers – NO ONE felt this hard mass growning sooner!!? I found it by chance by lifting him onto the bed with my hand on his butt. I was shocked to feel something so hard and so ominous. What's the point of regular check ups if a vet doesn't put his hands all over your dog and feels for what is possible?? Weight and a temperature I can do on my own, I don't need a doctor for that. And if a groomer is squeezing his anal sacs and feeling this and not mentioning it…… It's just so sad….. I want to do whatever will give him the best quality of life for as long as I can.
Dr. Dressler,
I forgot to mention that the diet from your book has been a life saver for me. I had her on Hills Rx RD for weight control for the longest and then when all this occurred with the gallbladder and cancer, she stopped eating almost at once. I tried a few prescription diets and after a can or two, she wouldn't touch it. I was getting very concerned because she had already lost about 3 pounds. I also bought about 20 different types of other dog food just trying to get her to eat, which never seemed to work. She turned down things that she would beg for in the past even tuna. If I got her to eat a cup of anything I was doing really good. I had already got your ebook so I decided to give your diet a try. So when I made it for the first time, I was so excited when she ate. It didn't take long at all to prepare and I can make it within 5-10 minutes once I got the process down. Also, thank you for mentioning the Blue Baffalo grain free food. I bought some of that also and this is the only dog food that she will actually eat. So I give it to her occasionally as an alternative to use. So I feel like I have "struck gold" and wanted again to thank you for that material that you included in your book.
Dr. Dressler,
Thank you for responding. We are currently monitoring all liver markers/enzymes, calcium as well as performing ultrasounds to check for changes in the gallbladder. I gave my vet a copy of the information on the apocaps. Thank you so much for your input. 🙂
My dog was diagnosed with a right anal sac tumor in January 2011. We removed the tumor and 4 enlarged lymph nodes. She mitoxantrone and carboplatin, alternating each of them for a total of 3 each (6 treatments total). The treatments were 3-4 weeks apart, depending on her white blood counts. She had no ill effects from chemo treatments. I have fed a raw diet to this dog since she was a puppy. I continued with the raw food during the treatments and increased the amounts of fish oil. She also received Artemisinin, OncoSupport, Maqui Select, and ImmPower supplements. I added ozone therapy on the weeks she didn't have chemo. In addition, she has been on a homeopathic plan that includes Ruta grav., lycopodium, carcinocin, and cell salts.
Now that the initial chemo is over and my dog is still feeling really well, we have started Masitinib. I'm curious about anyone else's experience with it as a preventive at this point. There were mixed reviews about Palladia, but Masitinib is supposed to be a safer option.
Dr. Dressler,
I have a question about APOCAPS. I have an almost 10 year old beagle who had an adenocarcinoma tumor removed surgically along with her right anal gland in June. The results are posted above but basically it looks like my vet got all of the tumor. There's no evidence that she has any enlarged lymph nodes or any other tumors according to all the tests that we had performed. However, during the ultrasound they discovered that she has the early stages of mucocele gallbladder. Due to her age and a few other issues (gallbladder, cortical cysts in her kidney and on one side a slightly enlarged heart) we decided not to follow up the surgery with chemo. My vet consulted with another vet that specializes in the mucocele-type surgeries, and since she had two surgeries in the last four months and now a history of cancer, they both felt that at this time it was probably better to try to medically manage the gallbladder issues with actigall and denamarin first to see if can be turned around. In the interim, I have changed her to the cancer diet, vitamins, and of course lots of love. Once we started the medicine and new diet, she really seemed to perk up, so we do feel so far this is helping. So my question is, would you recommend giving apocaps to a dog that has gallbladder issues such as I have described above, or do you have any reservations? Thanks! Susan
Hi Susan,
You may join artemisinin_and_cancer group in yahoo. The people there have been very helpful to me, I got my regimen there. Seems to be working very fine until now.
Good luck!
I am curious to what your regimen is. What you are feeding her and how much of the supplements, etc…
Thank you guys so much for sharing your information with me. It's so overwhelming looking at all the material on the internet, reading and trying to make decisions especially since apocrine cancer isn't addressed as much as one of the "major types" of cancer. I also wondered why no one had staged her cancer even with having all the results back from surgery, blood work, x-rays, ultrasound, and multiple doctors. Upon performing the ultrasound the radiologist found that although she didn't have any visible signs of cancer, she had early stages of a mucocele gallbladder as well as multiple cysts in her kidney. She was more concerned about the gallbladder rupturing than the fact that we were scanning to see if the cancer had metastasized. So at this time it doesn't look like doing treatments would be wise with her cysts and especially a gallbladder that could rupture. So I am looking into possible surgery for that and waiting for the results of additional blood work to come back. About seven weeks ago she completely stopped eating any commercial dog food. I tried just about everything but now I know that's probably because the gallbladder. However, from what I read in the cancer book that may not be a bad thing. So I am going to start more with the cancer diet for now if I can get her to eat that. She is really picky. I am not sure what type of supplements I can give her with a gallbladder like this. I had ordered some of the APOCAPS and was going to get some of the K9 Immunity supplements but wasn't sure how her gallbladder may react to that. So right now I am praying, treading water and being very thankful that at least I know what's going on so that I may have a chance to help her. Thank you again so much for responding.
my dog was diagnosed august 2010 to have anal sac adenocarcinoma. once we found out the tumor (because of bleeding from her vagina), we decided to have it removed by surgery and then followed by three weeks of chemotherapy. chemo was terrible, she wouldn't eat for a week so we decided to stop that. she lost a lot of weight and began to feel depressed. after a week she then came back to her normal being, we changed her diet to no grain and added supplements to her diet. one of the most important medicines that i think contributed to her being back to normal again was Artemisinin. with that, we also gave Transfer Factor, Vitamin E, milk thistle and CoQ10. she has this little cyst on her side, if she's on her meds it flattens, if we don't give her for a week it grows a little again. i got this regimen from my vet who had at least 2 patients take the regimen and tumor didn't come back again. after several months, my dog had bleeding again from her vagina, it wasn't UTI and it wasn't from another tumor that might have came back. we had her spayed and all the bleeding was completely gone for about another 4 months. now, here she is having slight pinkish bleeding again from her urine, just like before. i wouldn't know what the cause is, i'll have to bring her to the vet again. but now she's eating perfectly normal and behaving perfectly well, a dog who doesn't seem to have cancer at all! she's 5 years old and hoping to live another 5 or more years with her! any inputs on the cause of the bleeding will help. and if anyone needs the regimen, just let me know 🙂
all the best,
It sounds like your doing a wonderful job taking care of your baby. He's very lucky to have you caring for him. It wasn't my intention to suggest that chemo and radiation was the best, or the only strategy for treatment. I used chemo and then radiation with my boy, but NOT with my little girl. Emmy had the kidney issues so I was reluctant to use the chemo. She was diagnosed (anal sac carcinoma) about 1 1/2 yrs earlier than her brother and I used only the holistic route with her because of my concern for her kidneys. She did very well for several yrs with just the special diet and chinese herbs. It was later that I discovered that acupuncture would help with her blood pressure (I'm not sure if the blood pressure causes the kidney issue or the other way around?:). In time about 2 1/2 yrs after her cancer diagnosis the cancer spread to her spleen and liver. I'm not sure if she would have done better than that even with chemo treatment. So your little one will do fine….there isn't a right or wrong decision about the choice for treatment. It's just knowing the options…which took me some time to fully understand. With her brother who developed the same cancer I decided to do chemo and he did fine for a little while too. I was just frustrated with later seeing that we could have done more (seeing the oncology specialist and hearing all the options which should have included radiation). There's no right way….I went two seperate routes because I happened to face the same cancer in a short period of time. I just wanted to pass on some of my experience so someone else may not have to start from scratch in gathering information. I had the unfortunate experience of losing 3 of my dogs within 6 months….my head was just spinning at the time, with trying to make decisions. I'm in Canada, and there wasn't an oncologist in our province, so it was tough to get the most current info. That's why the university was so helpful at the time….but they probably wouldn't be on board with the holistic route. But I know from my experience it can work too.
I'm sorry if my emails were sounding judgemental. It wasn't my intention. I think the topic may be still a little emotional for me. I know you're making all the right decisions for your baby and..most importantly it sounds like he's happy and enjoying life. The most important thing! And yes seeing lots of doctors and having treatments is very stressful for them.
I wish you the very best.
Kathy, thanks for the information. I didn't think about high blood pressure being the cause of the kidney problems. You are right Benazeril is used for high blood pressure. That wasn't explained when we put him on the pills and I never thought to make the connection. After reading your other post I was feeling a bit guilty for not going the chemo route, but in my heart of hearts I know it would not have been the right decision for us. It is so difficult because you can't explain it to them and is hard enough when it is a person who at some level can understand what may happen. out seems a city the size of where I live would be overrun with holistic vets but it isn't or a vet school either. Although he does well going to his usual local vet when I was dragging him around to second opinion and onco he was stressed. So dragging him out of town to a strange smelling place would probably stress him even more. I understand stress is not a good thing so trying to keep that to a minimum (which gives you a very spoiled fur baby! But he deserves it!). It has been 4 months now since diagnosis and he still is running up and down the stairs, jumping on the bed, eating, wanting treats, going for walks and rides – acting normal. I am so thankful for the reprieve from what others have to deal with and for each "normal"day. Will continue the hunt for a holistic vet close by. Thanks again.
You could try to locate a Holistic vet who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine. There are several Chinese Herbs which are cancer fighters. They're added to their food, just like the mushrooms etc. that you're using now. In fact one of the herbs is a mushroom mix. This was helpful for my female (the sister of my boy I wrote about yesterday) who had anal sac carcinoma, as well. I was reluctant to use chemotherapy with her because she also had kidney problems. I have since learned that some chemo drugs don't tax the kidneys as much as others. Carboplatin is considered to be one of the safer drugs for the kidneys.
You mentioned that your dog was taking Benazeril (?..not sure of the spelling) for his kidney problems. It sounds like he may have a similar kidney issue as my girl did. If he's taking this drug to help lower his blood pressure..which may be part of the kidney issue. I discovered that acupuncture can also lower their blood pressure. I found a Holistic vet who helped with the herbs, and also was very good at acupuncture. She found a way to use acupuncture to lower my girls blood pressure. We still used the western drug, but we were able to keep her dose lower by supplementing with regular acupunture. It really worked.
Take care
Hi Susan
I started to write you a message, and my computer just ate it, so if you end up with 2 , I apologize.
Maybe this time, I can be more to the point, and shorter. I had 2 dogs who ended up dying from anal sac carcinoma. I'd like to pass on some things I learned from their journeys.
First..find an oncologist or as I did…a veterinarian training hospital where they train oncology specialists. I started by working with local vets who meant well, but didn't have the knowledge and expertise. The time lost was very detrimental.
I finally went to Washington State Veterinarian Training Hospital. The care and level of expertise there was phenominal. Anal sac carcinoma is a treatable cancer, but you have to work with someone who can provide the best assessment(very important!..just because the cancer isn't visible elsewhere, doesn't mean it isn't there microscopically).
The university dr's used an MRI to see the total picture, and we did several treatments of RADIATION therapy (some of my local dr's ..who were internal medicine specialists, believed radiation treatment wasn't used on this cancer…This was not true!) The radiation treatments were followed by LOW DOSE CHEMOTHERAPY TABLETS given by me at home. The radiation had few side effects..none really other than some hair loss.
Before going to the university hospital my boy received chemotherapy by IV from local vets (every 3 wks) but it was not very effective in the long term. Going to the university and having their assessment and state of the art treatment was crucial to his treatment. Unfortunately by the time I took him there the cancer had advanced significantly and the university was able to only give us another 6 months,,,but he was happy and much more comfortable during that time.
Also I had a specialist create a cancer diet for him, which I made. Diet is very important.
If you do end up giving your girl Iv chemotherapy every 3 weeks, (which may end up being the best for her) I found that an acupuncture treatment right afterwards, helped alleviate the side effects. And there are traditional Chinese medicine herbs that help too. Combine the western medicine with holistic medicine to compliment it.
I wish you and your girl the very best of luck. See a specialist, please. I travelled from Canada to Washington to see them and it was the best thing I did. And the cost was more reasonable than my local vets..because the University was a training facility. If you can't get to them, see if they'll work in a consulting role with your vet. You can beat this!
My thoughts are with you.
My dog too was diagnosed on February 21 after having the tumor removed several weeks earlier. Removal was clean with narrow margins. He had xrays and ultrasound which came back normal including lymph nodes (hadn't spread). The oncologist said that this type of cancer was not normally staged (which is different from what I am reading?) And recommended carboplatin treatments or palladia. At that point seeing that it hadn't spread and with no real assurances of the chemo doing anything, we elected to not do chemo. I did change his diet to a no grain food but have to watch the protein due to kidney problems for which he takes benazeril (and throxin for thyroid). I have also been adding brocolli, shitake mushrooms and krill oil to his kibble. Today is 4 months since diagnosis and he seems to be doing fine, still running up and down stairs, going for short walks, riding in the car and dragging out toys to play. We did have a scare last week when a lump showed up in his "arm pit", but fine needle aspiration indicated fat lump. Not sure what else to be doing.
That's five treatments consisting of one treatment every three weeks.
I have a 9 year old spayed female beagle and on June 8th my dog had a tumor removed surgically along with her right anal gland. Upon surgery X-rays for lungs were fine, and there was no evidence that she had any enlarged lymph nodes. At this time we haven't performed an ultrasound and plan to do so next week.. She went into surgery with a calcium level of 18 and on June 14th her calcium has come down to 11.8. My vet believes that they got all of the tumor and she is doing fine now; however, I am researching to see what options may be available as far treatments and experience with this type of tumor. I have copied and pasted below a copy of her histopathology report. Any information would be appreciated deeply, and would like to see what type of chemo you suggest or if you suggest that since the tumor is removed. My vet said that it was about the size of a gold ball. Thanks!.

Histopathology, Full Written Report (Antech Diagnostics)
This mass represents a malignant neoplasm originating from the
apocrine glands of the anal sac region. It consists of solid and
cystic nests of neoplastic glandular and ductal cells which are often
separated by a moderately dense fibrovascular stroma. Some lobules
contain compact areas of neoplastic cells exhibiting a low to moderate
level of mitotic activity. The mitotic rate is 4-6/10 hpf. Lymphatic
tumor emboli are seen near the anal sac which is included in the
sections. There is a background of mixed suppurative inflammation and
hemorrhage at several margins.
Apocrine tumors of this type often cause hypercalcemia through a
pseudoparathyroid effect. When present, hypercalcemia can be used as a
prognostic indicator. This neoplasm has metastatic potential.
Prognosis is guarded. Morphology is characteristic of an intermediate
to high grade malignancy which has metastatic potential. The lesion
is apparently excised with narrow (1-4 mm) margins. The potential for
recurrence is moderate to high.
P.S. I forgot to mention that my vet suggests doxirubicin treatments (5 treatments to be given every 3 weeks).

I fractured one of my ribs the other day and as a result am not able to do yoga or climb. It is also very cold in Stockholm at the moment. Both these things mean that I am stuck in my room, freezing and in agony, trying to find ways to occupy myself. Prevent myself from getting a little crazy.
Learning how to play the guitar and baking is what I do 90% of my time now. Playing the guitar is becoming more and more fun. I get a huge amount of satisfaction from simply learning new chords or silly tricks.
Without me – Mac Demarco
This week I'm trying to understand fingerpicking. I learned that resting the wrist on the guitar, above the strings, improves accuracy when fingerpicking. It prevents you from playing with the elbow which obviously makes the plucking of the strings less precise. The technique has helped me a lot when learning "Without me" by Mac DeMarco. I'm still not sure if I am doing it correctly as I think my wrist should be resting a little more forward on the guitar. I have tried doing that but I can't seem to find a comfortable spot to place the wrist.
It has been a little hard for me to learn this song because it involves a few things that I had never done before (such as barre chords). I also find it a lot more difficult to follow a good rhythm when fingerpicking rather than strumming.
I know that the song still needs improvement and I am planning on practicing a lot. Hopefully I will post another video in a week or so with an ameliorated version of both this song and "Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd (which is the first song that I learned).
Here are the other songs that I've learned:
– Shiver, Lucy Rose
– Wish you were here, Pink Floyd

Well I'm back from my trip to Scotland! I finished going through my sketches and thousands (yes, literally thousands) of pictures and I wanted to share a few with you. I was in awe of the detailed architecture (including a few Outlander sites) as well as the breathtaking scenery. My sister couldn't have chosen a lovelier place for her wedding. From the rolling hills in the Highlands, which are often dotted with sheep and highland cattle (also known as "hairy coo" because of their abundant coats); to the haunting Gothic, sandstone buildings of Edinburgh; to the stubborn, hardy, lavender thistles that are determined to add beauty to the most rugged surroundings, I don't think there is anywhere on earth quite like this place. My next collection will feature Scottish patterns and prints inspired by my travels.

D4K: Gravity
Special | 28m 49s
Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It is what makes things fall and what keeps us from floating off into space. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

'India will soon have to deal with China, not Pakistan'
[Tuesday, April 01, 2008 21:19]
Claude Arpi
By Claude Arpi
Over the last couple of weeks, we have witnessed a large increase in the number of 'Tibet pundits' in the media, particularly in India.
This is a good thing: the public as well as the security agencies, our army brass and our diplomats should get acquainted with the question of Tibet and the larger issue of the so-called 'Peaceful Rise of China.'
The Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama with Chairman Mao during a meeting in 1955. (Inset) The Dalai Lama with Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
The Pakistan-centric attitude of the Indian establishment is one of the most dangerous aspects of Indian foreign policy, (if such a thing exists). Any widening of the horizon, particularly towards the north, can only be welcomed. In the years to come, India will have to deal with China and not Pakistan.
Unfortunately, the new pundits do not always grasp all the intricacies of the Tibetan imbroglio, and several analysts have concluded that the only workable solution for the Tibetan unrest is the resumption of the dialogue between Dharamsala and Beijing.
In fact, it is probably because that so-called dialogue has led nowhere (and could not lead anywhere) that the Tibetans in Lhasa and in other provinces took to the streets in protest.
The Tibetan population, particularly the monks, were frustrated with a process which is a dead end for the Tibetans, while for the Chinese, it is an easy way to appease Western leaders and gain time till the Dalai Lama passes away.
'The entire population of Lhasa was out on the streets'
Jetsun Pema, the Dalai Lama's youngest sister is mobbed by a crowd, when a fact-finding delegation visited Tibet in 1982. 'The Tibetans tried even to tear (pieces of) our chubas (Tibetan dress) to have them as relics,' a delegation member recalls.
A look at the background of the current 'talks', which started six years ago, will perhaps help us understand the common man's bitterness in Tibet. In September 2002, the news flashed that a Tibetan team led by Lodi Gyari, the Dalai Lama's Special Envoy to Washington, had left for Beijing to negotiate with the Chinese government.
It started with a brief communiqué from the Dalai Lama's Private Office in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh: "During the visit, Mr Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari and the team will also visit Lhasa. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is very pleased that the team is able to make such a visit."
Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, Prime Minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile, described the visit of his government's representatives to Beijing as "a culmination of efforts over the years to reach out to the Chinese government."
But it was a false start. Beijing immediately denied that any negotiations had started, and insisted it was only "a group of countrymen returning for a visit to their homeland".
This was not the first time that the Dalai Lama, an ardent follower of non-violence and a believer in dialogue, had sent 'delegations' to China. The rapprochement first started in 1978, when Deng Xiaoping met Gyalo Dhondup, the Tibetan leader's elder brother, and told him that he was ready to discuss everything except Tibet's independence.
This meeting was followed by the setting up of four Tibetan fact-finding delegations to visit Tibet.
The first three delegations visited Tibet between 1979 and 1982; wherever the Dalai Lama's envoys went they were mobbed in delight by crowds of Tibetans.
One delegation member remembers: "The Tibetans tried even to tear [pieces of] our chubas (Tibetan dress) to have them as relics". The entire population of Lhasa was out on the streets; everybody wanted a darshan of the Dalai Lama's envoys.
But by the time the fourth (and last) delegation journeyed to Tibet in 1984, the Communist authorities had learnt their lesson. They were more careful and able to control the crowds better. But the message was clear for Beijing: the so-called liberation of Tibet was a cruel joke.
'The talks were a dialogue of the deaf'
Deng Xiaoping receives the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama in 1954
Apart from these fact-finding teams, the Dalai Lama also sent two delegations of senior Tibetan officials in 1982 and 1984 to Beijing. But the 'talks' were a dialogue of the deaf: Beijing only wanted to discuss the Dalai Lama's personal status in case of return, while the Tibetans wanted to talk about the fate of the Tibetan people in a future dispensation.
During a visit to the US in 1987, the Dalai Lama presented his 'Five-Point Peace plan' to the Congress in Washington DC. This plan proposed to demilitarise Tibet to make it a 'Zone of Ahimsa' and sought "commencement of earnest negotiations on the future status of Tibet and of relations between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples".
A year later, he made his Strasbourg Proposal at the EU Parliament, where he gave up his demand for independence for 'genuine autonomy' within the Chinese Republic.
In September 1992, the Dalai Lama wrote a long memorandum to Deng on the same lines, based on the assurance that "everything except independence" was the basis of the dialogue.
In 1993, Sonam Tobgyal, the then chairman of the Tibetan government-in-exile's council of ministers, re-established the contact with Beijing. It was again Gyalop Dhondup, the Dalai Lama's elder brother, who had prepared the ground by making several 'private' visits to China.
Sonam Tobgyal, accompanied by Gyalo Dhondup, left for Beijing in July 1993 with the intention of negotiating a 'genuine autonomy' for Tibet. They stayed for about a week in China and met only the officials of the United Front Department, the Ministry, which looks after the 'nationalities' affairs.
According to Tobgyal, "One thing was clear: the officials with whom we talked did not have the authority to decide anything on their own."
Once again, there were no real talks, Tobgyal explained. "If one analyses what they were saying, they were only saying that their position vis-à-vis the Dalai Lama was very clear, they were very happy to keep contact with the Dalai Lama, they were keen that these contacts should go on."
'Idea of Greater Tibet is totally absurd'
Lodi Gyari, the Dalai Lama's Special Envoy to Washington
The main bone of contention between the Dalai Lama and Beijing was the geographical definition of Tibet. The Dalai Lama had made clear in his Peace Plan that Tibet comprised of the traditional three provinces of U-Tsang (Central Tibet), Kham, and Amdo, while the Chinese were only talking of the Tibetan Autonomous Region corresponding more or less to Central Tibet, which is only a third of pre-1950 Tibet.
In the 1960s, the Chinese had cleverly divided Tibet administratively and had amalgamated the provinces of Kham and Amdo into the neighbouring Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and Qinghai.
When the Tibetan delegates "proposed that the three provinces of Tibet be reunited and there should be only one Tibet," the Chinese answered that this position was 'not realistic'.
"'Tibet is already divided; these administrative arrangements have already been made long ago. This has been ratified by the People's Congress. It is in the [Chinese] Constitution," they told the Dalai Lama's delegates.
"They were always repeating the same thing… I did not feel that a very substantive discussion was taking place," said Tobgyal. When they left, the Chinese officials told them: "Please come again, you are always welcome."
It was again the Dalai Lama's brother who reopened the doors to a dialogue in 2002 and paved the way for Lodi Gyari's visit.
An article published at that time in China Today reiterated the 1993 position: "There is no historical basis for an administrative division such as 'Greater Tibet' area... such an idea is totally absurd."
The writer adds: "Then why does the Dalai Lama insist on this groundless and impossible concept of 'Greater Tibet area?" He concluded: "The Chinese government will not be fooled!"
Apart from the definition of Tibet, another unbridgeable difference is the Dalai Lama's position on a democratic set-up for Tibet.
"Fundamental human rights and democratic freedoms must be respected in Tibet," says the third point of the Peace Plan presented to the US Congress. "The Tibetan people must once again be free to develop culturally, intellectually, economically and spiritually, and to exercise basic democratic freedoms."
Why can't Premier Wen Jiabao meet the Dalai Lama?

Now if there is no point (for the Tibetans at least) to resume a dialogue, which has never started, what is the solution?
Let us not forget that the Dalai Lama, when he first visited Beijing in 1954, used to have regular formal and informal meetings with Mao Zedong and others senior Communist leaders. When he arrived in the Chinese capital, he was even received with great pomp at the railway station by the Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other senior dignitaries.
Later in 1957, when the Dalai Lama was in India for the 2,500th anniversary of the Buddha Jayanti, he met the Chinese Premier several times and had in-depth discussions about Tibet and the welfare of his people.
Today, why can't Premier Wen Jiabao meet the Tibetan leader and try to sort out some of the thorniest issues?
This is where the Western Governments and the Government of India can help. Only several meetings at the highest level can unblock a process frozen for the past 50 years.
But a question remains: does China have a Tibet policy on which its leadership agrees?

The person that has by far been the most influential in my life, Randy Perdue, resigned from his position as Director of Training. It isn't worth getting into, but politics makes things hard and when personalities come into conflict, ultimately someone has to give. Ultimately being a leader, means knowing when to say when. That is what he did. I miss him dearly but he has been amazingly successful since, and the sky is the limit for him. We keep in touch and he has expressed more faith in me that any other person....for that, I thank him, and I also believe that the sky is the limit for me.
What we think about we bring about....or in the words of Shakespeare, "There is nothing is either good nor bad, but thinking makes it so."
So.....or should I say Sew??????
It has been roughly one year since I started quilting. One year later and several projects later. I have created multiple patterns and keep them "squirreled" away in a book. Tish and I are getting ready to release our first pattern. I have completed one project that I entered in the Strawberry Festival quilt show in Buckhannon, WV. I will post on that in a little bit. I have two other patterns that I have made projects for. One was a quick design that I put together and posted in another post, but did not go back and finish the official block. I bought fabric for it, but things just happened and it got pushed to the back. I have another recent pattern completed and sandwiched and waiting for Tish to quilt. I will post it when it is done. On that same thought, Tish and I bought fabric this weekend for a collaborative quilt/project. We are debating using the pattern that is sandwiched at this time, or possibly doing a log cabin quilt, which neither of us have tried. We aren't sure, but we are hoping to gain some recognition with this project (more-so her name) recognition. Together we are The Appalachian Couple Quilters!

To understand the process of evaluation for the S.F. quilt show, the categories are as follows: Visual Impact, Design, Colors and Fabrics, Top Construction, Borders and Sashing, Quilt Design, Quilting Technique, and Finishing Technique. All marks I received in this quilt were good to excellent. With Color and Fabrics being the excellent. Everything else was good or very good (more V than G). They liked the flange binding, but could use more accurate ditch stitching, and the corner mitering could be more accurate. It didn't win anything, but for my first project I was please with how it turned out and it is a gift for my mom.
Sandra Walker of MMMQuilts. This was my first quilt and it was a pattern test. With the stiff competition there including some traditional quilts as well as some Bargello patterns, I was happy to pull an honorable mention in Amateur non-longarm division. I completed this entire quilt myself except Tish gave me some initial instruction on the flange-binding and did the feathers through the color blocks....my first and it did the best. I received one excellent, 3 very goods, 2 goods, one N/A, and one Needs Improvement on the quilting. The remarks were on the quilting and stitch length. A big thanks to Sandra for allowing me to use her pattern!
So my thoughts....I'm not one for needing public recognition. Matter of fact I am not real big on it at all. Winning awards is nice, but I enjoy just a simple kind word from someone that I respect as opposed to a public accolade. I won employee for the year (2016) for the area (training) I work within my agency of employment. I had to go up and shake hands and get an award and a medal for my uniform. I struggle with that for some reason. However, it was pleasing to receive the award I did in the quilt show. Many people have been quilting for years that entered and it validate, for me, that I have some skills....THANKS TO TISH, and that I am pretty good at what I do for the little amount of time I have in doing it. My dad always told me to put all possible effort into everything I do, otherwise it isn't worth doing. That being said, I'm more interested in Tish growing in recognition than I am myself. I enjoy the art aspect of the quilting processes as well as the process which helps me with an outlet for energy that I have (including times of frustration energy). I have ALOT of projects I need to finish that are UFOs at this point as well as the aforementioned collaborative project with Tish and one that a co-worker commissioned me to do. If I have time I will be doing a Sunday Stash post on it later. I have alot to get done today including help Tish take pics, work on a couple designs and work on a Kaffe Fassett project that I have been desiring to do since I found his fabric. Look for more on that in the Sunday Stash post also.
Just a taste of KF
I am sure, in the future, I will likely enter more projects....Nothing ventured, nothing gained they say.
I would say though, being "judged" now means I can same I am officially part of the quilting community.

I think it is several shades of awesome you posted this the day after announcing you won the Sunshine Award.ReplyDelete
I also think most UN countries would contribute to buying an entire graveyard's worth of coffins, for all of the US Congress, if it would have this effect on them.
Haha. Sounds like something you would do just to see the reaction :)ReplyDelete
Interesting little piece. I have expected you to say he was actually a vampire. lolReplyDelete
A coffin with wi-fi access big enough to do sit-ups in? Why haven't I seen this advertised yet?ReplyDelete
Sleeping in a coffin is bad enough, but sleeping in one with a chamber pot must be downright stifling.ReplyDelete

Transparency Market Research Report Add "Animal Repellent Chemicals Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025" to its database.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2017 -- Animal repellent chemicals are chemical products that are used to control pests, typically in agricultural fields and gardens. Animal repellent chemicals generally work by taking advantage of an animal's aversion to something. They mimic the naturally available substances that repel or deter animals. The ideal repellent is completely specific for the target animal. New animal repellent chemicals are regularly launched in the market; however, their efficacy varies. Some repellents may contain active ingredients at concentrations below the threshold levels. Efficacy of repellents may vary depending upon several factors, including availability of resources and seasonal changes in plant palatability. Some animal repellent chemicals are strong and smell similar to ammonia, while others work by imitating the scent of a predator. Animal repellent chemicals are generally applied as foliar sprays which have to be reapplied periodically.
Obtain Report Details @: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/animal-repellent-chemicals-market.html
Based on type, the global animal repellent chemicals market can be segmented into chemical type and natural type. The natural type segment has been expanding since the last few years due to its characteristic features. The animal repellent chemicals can also be categorized into systemic repellents, area repellents, and contact repellents. Systemic repellents are compounds absorbed and translocated by the plant, rendering the foliage less desirable. Area repellents are products that create a chemical barrier owing to which the animals do not cross into the area. These compel animals to avoid the particular area. Contact repellents are products that are attached directly to a plant. This is one of the most effective ways of application of animal repellent chemicals. Natural animal repellents are also effective, and can be used without any restrictions. Various methods of application of animal repellent chemicals include use of fear-inducing repellents, use of conditioned avoidance repellents, and induction of bad taste.
Increase in demand for fruits and vegetables is also driving the animal repellent chemicals market. The practice of gardening is another key factor that has to be taken into consideration. Animals that may seek shelter and nourishment can quickly destroy flowers and vegetables and landscaping plants. Increasing number of people across the globe are turning toward the application of animal repellent chemicals. The most effective animal repellent products can be applied by a licensed pest control professional and this is expected to be a restraint for the global animal repellent chemicals market. There is an increasing demand for animal repellent chemicals which are effective against possums, rabbits, hares, deers etc particularly around forestry, horticultural and life style blocks.
Fill the form for an exclusive sample of this report @: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=B&rep_id=28172
The global animal repellent chemicals market has expanded moderately in 2016. This trend is anticipated to continue during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is estimated to offer attractive growth opportunities for the animal repellent chemicals market owing to the expansion in the agriculture sector with rise in demand for these repellants in countries such as China and India. Demand for non-toxic food is rising in North America and Europe. Therefore, the animal repellent chemicals market is expanding in these regions. Latin America is expected to offer attractive growth opportunities to the animal repellent chemicals market due to the presence of countries where agriculture is the primary sector. The animal repellent chemicals market in Middle East & Africa is likely to expand at moderate pace during the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global animal repellent chemicals include CleanLink, MBF India Pvt. Ltd., and Mercola Products.
