Umbro Golaço: we speak to ace British artist Stanley Chow by Aaron› 19 Feb 2014
As we continue to look for the finest Golaços from around the world, we also want to celebrate the fantastic illustrations that have brought our competition and the famous goal from Roberto Carlos to life. So, we sat down with celebrated artist and illustrator Stanley Chow to talk about his career, his inspirations and the brilliant way he's brought that goal to life. Stanley, who lives and works in Manchester, has had his work used in magazines and on posters around the world. Here's what Stanley had to say about his life as an illustrator and how he brought that Carlos goal to life…
What were the first experiences of art that you can remember?
'I'd known since the age of 4 or 5 that I wanted to be an artist, all I ever did was draw. I'd be at my dad's chippy, and the only thing that would keep me quiet was to sit me at the table, give me some of the chip paper, and I'd just draw. I spent most of my younger years drawing, I didn't really have any toys when I was a kid, I just had paper. I think it was purely that I had nothing else to do, and I loved doing it.
I tended to draw people, caricatures of people I knew or who I saw on the TV, and footballers as well. I used to draw little football comic strips as a kid, I designed my own football team and every season I changed their shirts and updated them. It was them doing overhead kicks, scoring goals, that kind of thing.'
So when did you start to take art seriously?
'Well, I've always taken it seriously, since I was at art school. I suppose when you leave art school, you want to take it seriously, but you don't know how you're going to turn it into an actual career. So it was more a case of just digging around, I used to hang out around the Northern Quarter in Manchester and do posters for a load of venues, and it slowly built up from there. I got an agent, so they were getting me work around the country in magazines, and then I got an agent in New York, and my work slowly went global.'
Were there any artists in particular that inspired you?
'Not really to be honest, because at the time I didn't know what a career was. I didn't know any artists, there wasn't really any famous illustrators I would see. There was Quentin Blake, he was the only guy I can remember, but I didn't know of anyone else or what made someone successful. My parents definitely didn't understand it, they were saying 'what are you doing this for, you need to get a proper job!' Eventually they realized that I was actually making some money, so they were pleased about that. It was only when the internet came along that you began to realise how famous or influential some artists had become.'
You've got a very distinct visual style, how did that develop?
'It definitely developed over time, when I was at art school we were always told that the client wants the work yesterday, so therefore I wanted to create a style that was fast – it looked finished and completed, but I could get from A to B within a short space of time. And over time, using Adobe Illustrator, this simple geometric style just worked for me. I look back at my work I did five years ago though, and it's nowhere near the work I'm doing now.
Also, I do a lot of portraits and caricatures now, but for about ten years I didn't do anything like that because the competition was so high, I was daunted by the prospect of doing that. But over the last few years I developed a style that really works in that area.'
There's also been a few imitations of your work, how do you feel about that?
'Half and half really, it is a compliment, but there have been a few examples where you think 'hang on, you're really stepping on my feet here,' and I've emailed them to say so. I appreciate the fact that my work has influenced them, but it'd be better for them if they took that and learned from it to develop their own ideas, rather than just copy what I've done.'
You've worked in a lot of different areas of culture, is there anything in particular you prefer to work with?
'Ultimately I just do things that I like – football has always been part of my life, I've been a season ticket holder at Manchester United since I was a kid. I like watching films, so I do caricatures of actors and stuff. I don't really have many interests beyond normal pop culture, I'm just the average bloke really, I can just draw a bit. We're actually moving into animation here now, we kind of got into it by accident but I'm really enjoying that, directing little movies and learning a lot in that area. There's no real genre that I want to concentrate on, but motion is something I'm really excited by and want to learn more about.'
Is there any projects you've struggled to bring to life?
'Yeah, a few. Supermodels are the hardest people to draw,
because they're so perfect and they don't have any distinguishing features to
hang on to. Because my portraits are so simple, it's impossible to find
anything about them to accentuate and bring out more. It's not just
supermodels, just any really good looking people, because they don't have those
quirks that make them so easily recognisable.'
What's been your proudest moment as an artist so far?
'My proudest moment is when Jonathan Ive, the man who
designed the iMac, emailed me to say that he wanted to buy one of my prints. I
emailed him back saying 'are you the real Jonathan Ive?!' That was the moment
when I was really gobsmacked. He sent me a cheque, and I didn't know whether to
cash it or to frame it and put it on the wall!'
Looking at your Roberto Carlos artwork, how did you approach the subject matter?
'I watched the goal a lot, and I tried to work out the speed of the goal. I wanted to create an image that captured the science of the goal, rather than the moment, I felt it was more special because of the pace and the technique behind it. So I was trying to find out the exact science, but I was struggling to find anything precise. So instead I've just got the arrows that show the scientific nature of the goal, that there was some thinking and technique behind it.'
Did you feel that it was a difficult project?
'The idea was there as soon as I started to think about it, but it did take a few takes to get it to somewhere I was happy with.'
Do you think Roberto Carlos meant it?
'Yeah, he must have, because if you're shooting like that you must be aiming to score. I bet he's tried it a lot, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred it's not worked, but that one moment he got it perfectly. Since that goal, he always gets given the free kick, maybe too many off the back of that one!'
Do you ever find it difficult to separate your personal football feelings from work?
'Funnily enough I got asked by Man City to do all their players for their website, and I turned them down. I couldn't live with the idea of doing it. I actually got more out of not doing it and mentioning it on Twitter, when I said that I'd turned them down as I was a United fan, it went crazy.'
Looking ahead to next year, who will you be supporting in the World Cup?
'I support England, they're my country and watching a tournament like that you need to have a team that you're supporting. I don't even root for Brazil, they're many people's favourites behind their own country but I don't really care about anyone else apart from my team.'
Do you think that England have any chance of winning it?
'Everybody's got a chance of winning it – Greece in 2004, Demark coming off the beach in 1992, you never know what's going to happen. I think we should all try to not take it too seriously and then just see what happens. Only one team can actually win, so we might as well try to enjoy it.'
Wise words from Stanley – thanks to him for offering us this insight into his work. Have you entered your Golaço yet? Head to the Umbro Golaço app now if you want to be in with a chance of winning that extra special trip to Brazil.

Pirates enjoy 4-day run at State
The Green River Pirates would have liked to finish their season with at least one more victory but it just wasn't to be. After suffering a last minute defeat on opening day, okay it was a last two minute defeat, the Pirates got two convincing wins on Thursday and Friday before losing on a shot at the buzzer on Saturday. In spite of the losses, the mostly junior basketball team still had a successful tournament and now looks forward to a great year next season.
Green River lost the Wednesday game 53-51 to Rich. Rich took their first lead of the game with two minutes left in the game and then eked out the win. Green River led by 7 points at the half and by 6 points at the end of three quarters. Rich outscored the Pirates 23-15 in that final period.
Green River won Thursday's game 56-40 over Dugway. Green River led by only 1 point at the half before finishing the game with two big second half quarters to ice the game.
On Friday, Green River took a 15-6 first quarter lead over Wayne and then hung on for the win. Wayne battled back but the Pirates would never let them get close enough to snatch away a win. Green River hit 12 of 19 free throws in the final period to get the win.
After grabbing a first quarter lead of 20-7 over Layton Christian on Saturday, Green River failed to stop their opponent from having two big final quarters to snare the victory. Green River was outscored 19-10 in the third period and 17-10 in the final period. Layton Christian scored their last bucket with 1 second left on the clock to grab the lead and the win.
Kaden Robertson led the team in scoring in the tournament with a 17.5-point average. Robertson had 13, 22, 18 and 17 points in the four games. He also had 4 three-pointers in the tourney.
Kaleb Fail also had a good tournament as he finished with 16.25-point average over the four games. Fail had games of 21, 14, 16 and 14 points. Kaleb also led the team with 8 three-pointers. He had three in the Wednesday game and at least one in every game.
Brent Johnson finished with 11.25 average. He scored 17 points on Friday for his best game. His other games were 8, 14 and 6 points.
Also scoring in the tournament were Jace Vetere and Brennan Bigelow with 11 points, Adrian Lucero with 10 points and Weston Vetere with 5 points.
The Pirates finished the season as region champs and had a total record of 13-10. With all their leading scorers back and now knowing how close they came in their two losses, the Pirates should be optimistic that they can build on their successful season this year into something even bigger and better next year.

Winner of Best of Show in the Hard Lure Category at the 2011 ICAST Show, the Sebile D&S Crank is an innovative deep diving crankbait with Sebile's revolutionary Gravity Snagless Hook System. Instead of two treble hooks dangling from the bait, the D&S Crank has only a single EWG hook connected to the rear of the bait. As the lure is moving through the water the hook remains in-line with the lure's flattened tail, greatly reducing the liklihood of snags. Once the fish bites down on the bait, however, the pressure causes the hook to pivot upward and project the hook point into the fish's mouth for a solid hookset. Available in an array of colors, the Sebile D&S Crank limits snags, lost fish, and it's also easier on the fish as well for a healthier release.

Comments: These are phenomenal in theory. This is probably the lure i lose the most fish on. Just use a swim/soft jerkbait.
From: Joe:
Comments: Maybe I should have taken the time to read these comments before ordering. The deep crankbait bite is on and I would like to test this lure in some known areas where the fish are eating the DD22, DT20,DT16,6xd,5xd. Where is my D&S????
From: Bob
Comments: I dont know that these baits are always out because people are buying them or because TW cant get them. I do have concerns over hook-up ratios -- need to see a UTube video of it in action to get a feel for it. If you have actually used this bait, post a comment based on your success/failure. Dont leave out the details. I love the concept, just not convinced totally right now.
From: Thomas: SC
Comments: Sebile is a disappointing company. I know they are now part of pure fishing, but I have seen very few of the products that have been show at icast 2010. I am not sure what the problem is, but I wish these items advertised at Icast would make it to market in a timely fashion. I am sure Patrick is counting his millions because I certainly do not see the focus on getting the products to market. I do like the products, I just want them in my boat, and on my line, not on my wish list for years.
Comments: i was fishing with a guy (no name) and he got a hold of a couple of these some how, we were fishing using crankbaits and while i was using a DD22 he was using one of these in craw color, well anyways we both got alot of bites but i hooked up 100% of them time and his were hit an miss, im guessing because how the bass hit whether head first or from the back. not saying these lures dont get bit because they do very well but hook up ratio is sub par. cool concept but not good.
From: Dean
Comments: these baits are always out most of time, they are working great folks, get some and fish them in your favorite lake and pond. Great fishing and God bless

Lunker City Ribster Worm 10pk
The ringed body of the Lunker City Ribster Worm allows it to project the appearance of a fat body worm, while still retaining a small core, which ensures maximum flexibility. It's super slinky tail section and cupped willow leaf tail sashay seductively on the fall, and move with the slightest twitch of the rod. The Ribster also solves the rigging issues associated with many ringed or ribbed worms by providing a bulkier core toward the head of the bait. This helps stop you hook points from tearing loose or sliding out as easily. Available in a variety of colors, the Lunker City Ribster Worm is first and foremost a drop shot worm, but is also a great choice on variety of other rigs, including a shaky head, traditional jighead or Texas rig.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Outstanding bait. Just started drop shotting and thought i would give these a try. Caught me a limit in the last half hour, throwing me into second place. Side by side outfished a shad shaped worm. Is now my go-to drop shot bait
From: Connor: Plattsgburgh, NY 9/10/14
Comments: Great small worm. Extremely versatile, shakey head, tex rig or swim it with a jig head. Very durable and great action. My new favorite bait.
From: Ted: Norwood PA
Comments: This is such a great worm. Great on a drop shot, but I think it's even better on a shaky head. The tail has a lot of action when twitched and the body design is durable, but limber. I love Lunker City because they actually design baits to be different rather than copying existing designs from others and slapping their name on it (like many of the "big" companies do). Way to go L.C. Keep up the great work!!
Comments: This worm has so many great design facets...
1. Ringed bodies afford the impression of girth and profile, yet still cater to the slinky, lively action that drop shot wormsshould afford, thanks to the thinner interior "core".
2.The problem with most ringed worms out there is the lack of substance to the head for the sake of durability when nose hooking, or even shakey-heading.
3. Rings enhance profile "breakup" and refract light in randomized fashion, while also promoting buoyancy and retaining scent.
If you've ever wanted to more specifically emulate the profile of baitfish forage options, yet retain a nice, limber action out of your bait, look no further.
From: Josh
Comments: This is a great dropshot worm! I have just started recently using it and found it very productive. I've used it both nose hooked and tx rigged. Very durable too. Also great on a shaky head. Probably going to be the only finese worm I carry next season. Great Job Lunker City!
From: Chris: New Haven, CT

Having cancer once is enough, but cancer can return a second and third time, and even become a chronic condition that never goes away completely.
Recurrent cancer is usually the same cancer type. For example, if you had colon cancer originally, it can return in the liver, but it's still colon cancer, but with liver metastasis.
Rarely, a person can develop a new cancer type that isn't related to their first cancer. This is called a second primary cancer.
When cancer returns, it may be difficult to cure, but it can often be kept under control with treatment.
Treatment for recurrent cancer can include some of the same strategies as the first time around, or your oncologist may recommend a totally different strategy, such as a new combination of chemotherapy or biological therapy, radiation and/or surgery.
Cancer cells can become resistant and not respond the same way to treatment. You may have choices that include clinical trials which would give you access to new treatment options that are being studied for your cancer type.
A few things to consider if your cancer returns:
It's not easy to deal with cancer when it returns, so you may find that you need support from those around you more than ever. Taking action to treat the cancer will help you feel a sense of control. Be proactive with your emotional needs along the way. Talk with others who have experienced a similar situation and seek support from your friends and family.
Feel free to share your personal experiences with cancer recurrence on the blog.

Metastatic Cancer....treatment ongoing (does not ever come to an end).... my mind slams into a brick wall, I am stunned into silence. A silence inundated with fear, a silence I think no one can understand. I am floating underwater, unable to breathe, unable to come up to the surface. Complete surrender to what will be and now I surface. I can breathe, for now.
I have a question that may not be appropriate for this site but I couldn't find anywhere else to ask it.
I have a recurring prostrate cancer and am looking at starting radiation treatments. My CT and Bone Scan were negative. I have just learned the Choline C11 scan that the doctors at Mayo are doing in cases like mine.
My question is , does it detect more than one spot in the prostrate bed area if there is more than one. My local oncologist says that is a drawback because it might not allow you to target all the affected areas.
I am confused.
I was dx with stage 3 colorectal cancer 18 mo ago with NO lymph node involvement. All CT's were negative.
After radiation, Chemo, and surgery, I have been doing well.
Today I found out my cea level has jumped from 3.6 in April to 4.6. I am a smoker if that gives you insight. Please no lecturers.
Does anyone here have any insight into rising CEA levels with no symptoms?
I don't do a lot of sharing, but I do do a lot of reading and have been moved,saddened and inspired. I felt the neeed to share today. I to am going thru a recurrence that we knew from the first diagnosis that 90% would be the last battle. An increddibly aggressive form of Thmoma known as Thymic Carcinoma.There was no time for radiation or chemo because of how fast it was spreading.They said a couple weeks later I would of been dead before I hit the pavement because of pressure on main valves etc.
If I got an extra week of life for every comment I get telling me how great and healthy I look and how positive I stay I would ive forever (hahaha)
MY time has been a gift that I have tried hard to live a life that reflects that. But the 2nd time around has changed so many things. I have wonderful friends and a few great family members but even they shy away from cancer talk or the depressing decisions that go along with death.During the holiday (Nov.thru Jan ) season My husband and I made a pact that we would have a cancer free Christmas and holiday. It was made a little more diffucult as nov. was when we found out the cancer returned.But we kept to the pledge and it was a much happier time it also gave me time to grieve in private and make decisions with no interference. Now things are goins the absolutley best they can 2 visits in a row MINIMAL GROWTH!! the best words a woman with an aggressive cancer can hear!!
I have lived for almost four years longer
This post is a reply to Betty and any other colon/rectal and cancer survivors.
September 20, 2012 6:49 p.m.
I just got diagnosed with stage 2 anal cancer. The CT scan and Pet scan show no other cancer. I have the pump and start chemo Monday. wondering if anyone has information to share on their experience with this type of cancer.
- Betty
Sorry new to this space and not sure how or if I can directly respond to any post. Everyone should watch a DVD called FORKS OVER KNIVES.
in Aug 2011 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal cancer (age 34) I have used diet to help with my own healing process. Yes I have gone through a tandum run of chemo and radiation fololowed by surgery and then 6 months of FOLFOX6 and then surgery again. It has been a tough 2 years. I also was diagnosed with an allergy to gluten so that has been fun trying to get around eating things I am so used to eating. There are days when I just give up and eat it anyway. But a diet high in fruits and veggies (raw mostly) and nuts/seeds/berries has done wonders to help. Even if it is only helping me feel good about being proactive and in charge of me. Casein (a protein found in animal products (bacon, burgers, steaks. etc.) directly feeds cancerous cells and so does sugar. So I cut sodas and dairy and meats. I was able to work through most of my treatments, and have been doing well. My TM was up over 8.7 and is now down within "normal" range (I have been told that is down around 1.5 ~ 2)Wish you all luck.
I had laryngeal cancer. There have been no new signs of cancer for two years.
I had chemo and radiation and because of that I had to have a trach.tube inserted among other terrible side effects. All my teeth are rotting from the inside out. The pain in my neck keeps me awake all night. The ENT says it's not from the trach. I think I am losing my mind and if my cancer comes back I cannot endure chemo and radiation again. I pray the Dr's can keep me comfortable because this is not living. Thank you I needed to vent.
I am not eligible for any promising clinical trials, according to my oncologist, which are my best chance of beating this cancer, so I am told. I started out with laryngeal cancer, stage 2, in August 2010. Had 7 weeks radiation, it went away. It came back this April in my right lung...metastatic head and neck. I had 2 wedge resections, margins were good...but it came back again in September. I haven't smoked in years and try to take care of myself. All my doctors say the cancer likely originated, then metastacized, as a direct result of the 12 years of Remicade infusions I received every eight weeks for fistula forming Crohns Disease. The fact that I have an autoimmune disease rules me out of many clinical trials, including gene therapy, which seems the most promising. My first cocktail of chemo, gymcitabine and tarceva, didn't work...the cancer is very aggressive, and 3 tumors multiplied into 6. Ive given up the Remicade and am 6 weeks on cyto-something (sp) and taxol, with a Ct scan thursday. I don't know where to turn b/c I don't fall into any niche...does anyone have any suggestions where to look for promising treatments, or anything? I feel at a complete loss, because I am determined to beat this thing...at least for a number of healthy years, as I am only 47.
Gail, I am glad that you are checking into the Radon connection, as this can be a risk factor for lung cancer. Here is a good link to the Mayo Clinic site as well as the NCI site for more information on radon (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/lung-cancer/DS00038/DSECTION=risk-factors, http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/radon).
we bought an old farmhouse in july 2006, i was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009, i had my lower left lung removed because of lung cancer. now 3 yrs later it's back. Have you any knowledge of Radon Gas? i had a test set up in my basement and will send it to the lab dec 12th. to find if the levels of radon are high or not. didn't have to have chemo as the cancer was not agressive and was caught early by accident in an xray. my family dr is concerned. says the cancer is in the upper left lung and has spread to the lymph nodes. the dr who did the surgery just sent me a letter for an app't in apr/2013!
I was diagnosed for the 4th time with recurrent ovarian ca. I have taken carboplatin and taxol twice (1st time ca stayed away for 4 yrs., 2nd time only 9 months) Then 3rd time took gemzar and carboplatin (very hard) and this 4th time am on doxil which has been easier but the skin rashes and blisters side effect are so painful, under my arms, around bra line, top of legs, hands. My doc decreased the dose by 10% this time and I did not have chills and fever which I did have after 2nd and 3rd doses. 4th dose decreased seems easier and now I have 2 doses remaining and the ca125 ca antigen marker has decreased from 82 in May to 13 now, so I am hopeful. So far it has not touched an organ. It is a very difficult road and I always question whether I should do this again and again. I am 66 and have been married to the same wonderful man for 47 years. He is by my side and taking care of me always. He keeps me going. My moods do go up and down as I contemplate what this does to me. I keep trying but it is hard.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 anal cancer November 2008. It was not an easy treatment but it is only 6-8 weeks of radiation with chemo in the first and last weeks. I had quite a few of complications but I got thru it. I assume you have Squamous cell, which I was told by my radiation doctor that if they get the tumor you most likely will not have reacurrent cancer. Good luck to you, I hope you sail through the treatments!
My husband has bladder cancer & has been cut & singed 7 times already & was cancer free for almost 6 months when he went in for his checkup & its back so they think again but this time its not on the bottom of the bladder but at the top & its a big red spot so they are going to take a biopsy to find out if its cancer back again & more agressive this time. I am so worried & scared & don't know what to do if I am left without him. I wake up in the middle of nights & walk the floor.If its cancer they want to cut again & this time a bigger peice.
My mother was recently diagnosed with a poorly-differentiated tumor on her kidney. Previously, she has had breast cancer and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
She is 90 years old and weak. I believe her choice will be between treatment and allowing the cancer to run its cortse.
My recurrence occurred within two months of being told NED. I have advanced ovarian cancer and have been fighting this recurrence for over a year with chemotherapy. The first 11 months were not so bad; I tolerated the treatment well and was able to participate in many of my regular activities. (However, I have been on disability for over a year.) Just over a month ago, my tumor markers started to trend upwards and a scan showed new areas of mets. I was switched to Doxil, but again the tumor markers went up, significantly and my symptoms (cramping and bloating) increased. Two weeks ago I was switched to Cisplatin and Gemzar. The first cycle has been tough. It's the first time since before my surgery that I thought I might not be able to make it through. My husband has been supportive, but won't/can't face the idea that we won't be growing old together. I try to take each day at a time and treat each day as a gift, but it is hard when you feel like curling up and staying in bed all day. I know I'll keep fighting, but there are some days I wonder for how long. Those are hard things for my family to hear.
I was diagnosed in early '07 with State 4, Metastic Breast Cancer. Had all the treatment: chemo, surgery (double mast. and lymph nodes removed under one arm), and radiation. Have been on Arimedex since 12/07 and am still doing well. No recurrence as yet. Anna, sometimes you have to pick the peeps that you want to share with. Some peeps can't deal with dire health subjects. I have been fortunate that I can talk to friends (some better than others) and my family. I am open and honest about my situation and I look at everyday as a gift. I find things to laugh at every day, even if I am the only one getting the joke! Party of one!!!
Since cancer can be such a painful condition-and can recur too-I hope u guys don't mind if I put forward spiritual solutions as aids to total cure.I have seen some people cure themselves of severe cancers through the study and application of Nichiren Buddhist spirituality-that I also practise.This is,of course,usually in addition to the standard medical treatment.
I am in my third re occurrence the question is always there how many more times. Or is this the time it is going to take my life. I truly do not know if I could take another round. I am one of those that the doctor tells me they can not cure it but hope to put it in remission. As far as confiding in friends I find that they tend to change the subject and are not comfortable with cancer discussion. It is a lonely journey. Sorry I try to stay upbeat but there are times I just cannot lift my spirits. Tomorrow is another day.
I've had two brain tumor surgeries - craniotomy in 1990 and Gamma-knife Radiosurgery in 2001 for a rare type of tumor called Central Neurocytoma. Because of the tendency to recurr, CN has been reclassified from 'Benigh' to Grade II.
I've also had two bouts of breast cancer. I remember the frightening feeling when the recurrence was found. But better medicine has been approved and I had mastectomy and 22 weeks of TCH before lowered MUGA score forced me to stop. It's been more than 5 years since the 'local-regional' recurrence and I've been doing well.
Mother had been treated for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma about 5 years before my breast cancer diagnosis. It wasn't until late 2007, when I learned about my 2nd Brother's colon cancer surgery and treatment, that I found out through research a cluster called HNPCC (Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer)might explain our family cancer incidents. The cluster includes cancers in the brain, breast, colon, small intesting, reproductive organs and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
I also found out that I have a BRCA1-VUS which put me in higher risk for ovarian cancer and uterine cancer. My request was approved and I underwent a prophylactic hysterectomy/oophorectomy in 2010. The surgeon informed us that there was evidence of hyperplasia in the uterine lining.
My complexion has become much better and I feel healthier and happier than ever!
I haven't had those type of cancers but I had breast cancer 5 yrs ago, after extensiive treatment was free of it for 3.5 yrs and then the same breast cancer returned in my abdomen as peritoneal cancer. I have been treating it with chemo for over 2 yrs now and I am getting along quite well but I never know when it will suddenly get worse or the chemo won't work anymore. It's definitely a "live one day at a time" thing. But I have already lived 5.5 yrs since I was first diagnosed so I do have a lot to be thankful for, I'd say! Of course, I'd like to keep on living, too!!
Im in the rarely category, I had breast cancer, then 4 yrs later endometrial cancer and now 5 yrs ago Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The other 2 had surgery and chemo and all good. This one in watch and wait but as have immunoglobulin anemia undergo monthly treatments of IVIG. And yes it is frightening as I never know when it will get worse.
I have malignant melanoma the second time. It has successfully treated once again. Is there anyone out there who has had this experience?
I just got diagnosed with stage 2 anal cancer.
The CT scan and Pet scan show no other cancer.
I have the pump and start chemo Monday. wondering if anyone has information to share on their experience with this type of cancer.

About the Campaign
We call on our elected officials to end all government handouts to oil, gas and coal companies and reject campaign contributions from these Dirty Energy industries.
America's climate and energy policies are currently dictated by the oil, coal and gas industries who are determined to keep our country addicted to their dirty fuels. From attacks on the Clean Air Act, to the promotion of the Keystone pipeline and gas fracking, to the funding of thinks tanks which deny the existence of man-made climate change, the fossil fuel industry is pushing its advantage on all fronts. To add insult to injury, these industries continue to receive billions in government handouts every year in the form of subsidies and tax breaks, despite the fact that they are among the most profitable companies in human history and in the face of budget cuts to essential services for the poor and middle class. Legal bribery -- in the form of campaign contributions to members of Congress -- makes much of this possible.
It does not have to be this way. Launched in the Spring of 2011, the Dirty Energy Money Campaign was created in order to confront and reduce the political influence of the fossil fuel industry. We aim to eliminate government handouts to the oil, coal and gas industries and pressure our elected officials to stop taking campaign contributions from these Dirty Energy Industries. Ultimately we intend to make contributions from oil, gas and coal as toxic to elected officials as tobacco money is now. As a result of this effort, we will weaken the ability of the fossil fuel industry to shape the public debate and open up political space for real solutions for clean energy, public health, community rights and climate protection.
The Dirty Energy Money Campaign is a project of Oil Change International, which campaigns to expose the true costs of fossil fuels and facilitate the coming transition towards clean energy. If your organization would like to endorse the Dirty Energy Money Campaign please contact our Coordinator.

The commission approved Emery County to join in the Amicus Brief in support of Amendment 3 litigation. An audience member wondered what that meant. Commissioner Nelson said Amendment 3 passed by the State of Utah in 2004 defines marriage as being between one man and one woman.
The citizens of Emery County voted with 70 percent support when this amendment was on the ballot in 2004.
Federal district court judge Robert J. Shelby ruled that Utah's amendment 3 was illegal.
This opened the door for same sex marriages in Utah for approximately 17 days from December 20, 2013-Jan. 6, 2014 before the Supreme Court ordered a stay. Commissioner Nelson said no same sex couple marriage licenses were issued in Emery County. This action by the commissioners will add Emery County's support to litigation supporting Amendment 3.
Sam Bramall, Zora Peacock and Karen Huntsman were approved to serve on the Emery County Council on Aging and Nutrition. Mary Kava will serve on the Museum of the San Rafael Board. Brad Giles and Troy Winter were approved to serve on the Emery County Recreation Special Service District.
The easement agreement with Andalex Resources for the debris basin in Huntington Canyon was approved with a few changes. The yearly contract with the Utah State University Extension was approved. The cooperative agreement between the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands and the Emery County Weed and Mosquito Department was approved.
Bill Dellos announced a countywide Lincoln Day dinner sponsored by the Republican Party on Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m. Several politicians are expected to attend including the governor, Lt. Governor, attorney general, Sen. Orrin Hatch and Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
Under the commission reports, Commissioner Migliori said the economic development council has monies available for their Main Street Incentive Program. These grants can be used by businesses for signage or improving their store fronts. Their revolving loan fund has issued a loan recently for a new business. The Emery County Business Chamber recognized Stewarts Market and Maverik at their recent lunch and learn and Commissioner Migliori gave an economic update for 2014. Commissioner Migliori said he's disappointed at the progress that's been made with the Rep. Rob Bishop lands bill. At a meeting recently, they said a bill probably won't be ready until fall of this year.
Commissioner Nelson said each town needs to have a representative appointed to the fire district board. He had a conference call with the Joe's Valley bouldering group. They are working on promoting a BLM recreational designation for the site. They are also now bouldering in Cottonwood Canyon. Each new site they find they name the rocks and put them on the internet. These boulderers are actively engaged in climbing and have funds available for improvements. Kay McIff held a water meeting to present changes he is presenting in a bill. The changes would make it easier to sell water. Mike McCandless said the irrigation companies are concerned.
Commissioner Horrocks said he's been working on the debris basin projects in Huntington Canyon. The weed and mosquito department is working on Russian olive removal. The travel bureau has been actively attending all of the travel shows in San Diego, Denver, Quartsite and in Salt Lake. Recreation is a growing industry for the county. Ray Petersen continues to work on public lands issues and is working with SITLA on right of ways on SITLA land. Commissioner Horrocks said the Cowboy Caucus, rural legislators meet each Friday and he will try to attend as many of those meetings as possible. They discuss bills that will impact rural Utah.
Under the consent agenda items Larry Heaton was approved as a Perkey volunteer driver. Scottee Brower has been hired as a part-time head lifeguard at the aquatic center. Melissa Jensen has been hired as a part time assistant librarian in Cleveland. Meagan Wilberg has been hired as a part-time museum director working up to 29 hours per week. The county will begin to recruit for road department seasonal workers. Kaylee VanWagoner has been hired as a certified lifeguard instructor at the aquatic center.
Velvet Farley has been hired as a head lifeguard at the aquatic center. Mindi Labrum has been hired as a part-time fill-in employee for the library system. Phillip Engleman will represent Green River on the Emery County Fire Protection Special Service District.

MyNetFone NBN Internet Service
The roll out the of the National Broadband Network (NBN) is underway, giving more and more people a choice of provider, internet speed and even associated phone service.
MyNetFone's NBN plans give you flexiblity to combine the speed you want with a data quota that suits your needs.
MyNetFone has simplified the multiple speed and quota options available with the NBN- all you have to do is select your desired speed, then how much quota you need.
All our NBN plans come with a NBN Voice Basic phone service. This is a pay as you go VoIP phone plan that allows you to make the most of your new NBN connection for your phone calls, with no line rental fees.
Free All-in-One NBN Wi-Fi Modem/Router:
Receive a free NBN ready, TP-Link TD-VG3631 Modem/Router. Shipping fee of $16.95 applies
Important Information about NBN Speeds:
Because of the way the internet works, the speed of your NBN internet service will vary. This means that although the maximum theoretical speed of a NBN service might be 100Mbps, the actual speed of the service will be slower. This is because internet speed is affected by factors such as:
- the plan you choose and whether or not you have been shaped;
- the number of other people in your area using NBN;
- the network connections between MyNetFone and your computer.
The way that you use your NBN internet at home also affects the speed that you experience. This includes things like:
- the number of computers (or other devices) that share your NBN internet connection;
- your hardware/software capability and configuration - for example, whether or not your modem and/or router can support speeds up to 100Mbps;
- how you connect to the NBN internet - for example, whether you connect via your wireless home network or through an ethernet cable;
- the webpages you browse, the type of content you download, where the pages/content are located, and the computer you are using.

TUPELO – In the days before Shannon High School's graduation, the school's valedictorian reflected on her earliest moments of kindergarten at Plantersville Elementary.
"I've been thinking about that and wondering whether I cried," said Prenetia Clark. "My mom had to drag me in there because I was used to being at home."
If she were to re-live the experience today, she said, her mom would have a much easier time getting her to school.
"I would be more than happy to start over," Clark said on the day her high school career came to a close.
She was among 117 students to receive diplomas from Shannon High School on Saturday afternoon at BancorpSouth Arena.
"I feel good because I'm Mississippi State bound," said Vaneshiea Bell. "I've gotten everything done. I just want to go."
Several awards were presented during the ceremony, including the Balfour Award given to Wyatt Lindsey. The school also recognized 42 graduates who received college scholarships.
"This will always be an important group because it was my first group as principal," said Bill Rosenthal, who became the school's leader last July.
During her speech, Clark encouraged classmates to keep pushing forward.
"No one knows what the future holds, but we know the education we received at Shannon High School will set us up for the things we need," she said.
Salutatorian Jasmine Ivy told her peers to remain strong despite obstacles they may face.
"If you run into a wall, don't give up," she said. "Find a way to work through it, go around it or climb over it."
The class faced its share of loss during its four years. Classmate Monique Braham died as a freshman and was remembered during the ceremony by an empty chair that had a red gown draped over it and held a cap and a framed memorial.
"It is bittersweet because I'm seeing my friends for the last time," said Chagney Bogan. "I wish my friend Monique was here. She was supposed to be next to me."
Since these students were in eighth-grade, four Shannon students have died. Those experiences brought the students closer together, said Aliyah Hooks.
"It is a close-knit community," she said. "Everyone knows everyone, and everyone knows everyone's family."
VALEDICTORIAN: Prenetia A'liya Clark
SALUTATORIAN: Jasmine Chiquanne Ivy

UPDATE 3:46 p.m. – TAYLOR – Lafayette County Emergency Management Director David Shaw said a tracking dog has indicated it had encountered the smell it was seeking in the search for Stephen Tyler Emerick.
Searchers have been working throughout the day, both in the Yocona River and along its banks, two or three miles above Enid Lake, to find the 19-year-old Taylor man who disappeared after leaving his job in Ecru on Monday night.
Emerick's truck was found Wednesday morning near the Yocona River just off County Road 387 in southwestern Lafayette County.
TAYLOR – Lafayette County authorities suspended their search around dark on Wednesday for Stephen Tyler Emerick, 19. His truck was found that morning near Grinder's Switch with the ignition on and his cell phone and wallet inside.
They will resume the land-and-water search Thursday morning, Sheriff's Investigator Jarrett Bundren said.
Emerick was last seen Monday night when he reportedly left work at Ashley Furniture after saying he was sick. He has red hair, is 5'5" and 140 lbs., has a Ducks Unlimited tattoo on his left arm and was last seen wearing jeans and T-shirt.
A family member reported that Emerick has no known medical or mental conditions or any history that would explain his disappearance.
Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the Lafayette County Sheriff's Office at (662) 234-6421.

Chrysanthemum Tea Set by Tiffany
Ask 1,000 antique collectors what drives them and you're likely to get 1,000 different answers. But, at its most basic level, we love antiques for the same reason we love a good book or a great photograph. It's the story they have to tell, who made them, where they came from and who owned them. It's called provenance, and in many cases, it can mean the difference between a work that is ordinary and one that is simply extraordinary.
Of course quality, rarity, condition, maker and provenance are all important considerations when determining value and historical significance...but it's the history that most collectors find most alluring. On very few occasions a piece comes on the market that embodies all of these qualities...a piece like this Tiffany & Co. eight-piece sterling tea service commissioned by the United States Congress as a wedding gift to the daughter of President Woodrow Wilson...a provenance antique collectors dream of!
This extraordinary tea service tells the story of three incredible men...one of a popular , one of a talented artist, and finally, the story of a legendary. The set is also a solid benchmark for judging the quality of any 19th and early 20th century sterling work and a lesson in why provenance can even affect the quality, rarity and condition of a piece.
The Ultimate Provenance
When Democrat Woodrow Wilson took the office of President in 1913, he had the advantage of welcoming with him a Democratic Congress for the first time in 20 years. Wilson mobilized quickly and pushed through important pieces of legislation. He enjoyed an impressive amount of success in the early years.
Just one year after taking office, Wilson's youngest daughter Eleanor married. To show their appreciation, more for father than daughter I suspect, the Congress presented her with a most luxurious wedding gift...what is arguably the finest Chrysanthemum tea service ever created.
Congress wanted not only to mark the occasion of this youngest Wilson's marriage, they also wanted to express their appreciation and respect for a very popular president. With that in mind, they contacted Tiffany.
Recognizing the overwhelming importance of such a prestigious commission from the country's most revered governing body, Tiffany.
And that's how provenance can affect quality, rarity and condition. Had this been an ordinary commission, Tiffany almost certainly would not have invested the extra time and effort in creating such an extraordinary set. But the United States Congress was no ordinary customer and the President's daughter, no ordinary bride.
You may come across pieces whose importance and value lies solely in who owned it. For example, many of Jackie Onassis' pieces of costume jewelry commanded incredible prices at auction based almost exclusively on the fact that they were owned by this legendary personality. Imagine the excitement of finding a piece whose provenance is two-fold. Commissioned by the United States Congress and owned by President Woodrow Wilson's daughter. Either of these provenances could stand on their own merit, but together they make this set truly exceptional.
Remember, when assessing value based on the provenance of ownership you must also consider how long lasting an impression that personality will have and their overall historical significance. Will that person be recognizable in 20, 30 or even 50 years to a newer generation of collectors?
The Value of the Maker
Ideally, provenance is coupled with quality. It is always desirable to find a work with a significant provenance, but don't lose sight of the piece itself. A work of superior quality hailing from a recognizable and respected company or artist is also very important.
When Charles Tiffany opened the doors to his stationery and fancy goods store in New York City in 1837 could he have known that this tiny shop would soon grow into an empire? Tiffany was a man with a good head for business and a particular genius for marketing. By the end of the 19th century Tiffany & Co., would dominated the American market for luxurious goods and had become a world leader in the production of fine silver.
Master silversmith Charles T. Grosjean joined the Tiffany firm as the Superintendent of Silverware and during his lifetime was widely considered among the most talented silver designers in the world. Along with Tiffany silversmith Edward C. Moore, Grosjean was largely responsible for Tiffany & Co.'s emergence as the world leader in the production of fine silver wares.
In 1880, Grosjean introduced the flatware pattern Chrysanthemum, furthering Tiffany's rise to fame. It was one of the most expensive die-made patterns ever created by Tiffany & Co., requiring an extensive amount of handwork to complete. From the very beginning, however, it was extremely popular and Grosjean turned his attention to creating spectacular pieces of hollowware to complement the flatware, including elaborate tea sets.
Because of its intricate design, higher labor involvement and exceptional weight, Chrysanthemum was available only to Tiffany's wealthiest clientele. An average tea service consisted of seven pieces and rarely included a tray. And, only the largest sets included the ultimate addition of a hot water kettle and stand, which cost almost twice as much as the most expensive piece in the set. In fact, in its most basic form, the average tea service, weighing less than 290 ounces with no tray, would have sold for more than $1,800 in 1891...an enormous sum of money for that time.
The Chrysanthemum tea service shown here weighs almost 600 ounces, and includes both a tray and hot water kettle and stand, making it among the most expensive and impressive tea services ever produced by Tiffany & Co.
Quality, rarity, condition, maker and provenance. These are keywords when assessing the value of antiques. This Chrysanthemum tea service is exemplary in every respect.

Adorable bows!
"These are adorable! They fit true to size and are pretty comfy thanks to the platform. The only weird thing about them is that the space for your foot -- like from the platform to the upper strap/bows -- it tighter than normal. The top of my foot rubs against the shoe and is a little uncomfortable, but a few footpetals should fix this. Overall, highly recommend."

Jeff Turnbull, president of LCS Lawn Service in the Twin Cities, offers some simple-to-follow fertilizing advice.
The 23 Hammers You Need to Know
Jeff Turnbull, president of LCS Lawn Service in the Twin Cities, offers some simple-to-follow fertilizing advice.More
When you buy fertilizer, you'll see three numbers on the label. These numbers show the percentage of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, respectively, which are the primary nutrients needed to feed your lawn. So a 20-5-10 bag will have 20 percent nitrogen, 5 percent phosphate, and 10 percent potassium. The rest of the bag usually contains filler material that helps ensure an even application. The 20-5-10 mixture is a good basic mix for spring.
Slow-release fertilizers break down their nutrients over a longer period of time, so you can wait longer between applications. "With slow-release, you can go every six to eight weeks, depending on your watering, instead of every four weeks," Turnbull says.
He recommends a slow-release that contains nitrogen but not too much. "The most nitrogen you need on a lawn is one-tenth of a pound per week. The grass can't get any greener than that. If you use more, you're only going to make the grass grow faster so you have to mow more often," Turnbull says. "The secret is to get it as green as possible without growing it fast." Turnbull recommends giving your lawn between 2 and 3 pounds of nitrogen over the entire growing season. "If you go with 25-0-4, that gives you 1 pound of nitrogen, so over four weeks, that's a quarter pound per week," Turnbull says. "That's too much. At that point, you're baling hay instead of mowing a lawn.
