Masaya Tanabe, 19, was arrested on felony marijuana and cocaine charges Thursday night, 13 days after police charged him with manufacturing hash oil.
Tanabe was arrested at a townhouse at 5024 Celtic Court along with Eric Dejon Keaton, 20, on charges of possession of 394 grams (about 14 ounces) of marijuana with intent to sell it and maintaining the townhouse as a place to keep and sell drugs.
Tanabe was also charged with possession with intent to sell another 116 grams of marijuana and with using a 2002 Toyota Camry to keep and sell drugs.
Police added a fifth charge of having just under 14 grams of cocaine with intent to sell that.
Tanabe was arrested early in the morning of Feb. 6 and charged with manufacturing a marijuana hashish derivative known as butane honey and having that and some of the necessary manufacturing hardware in his car.
In that arrest and in drug arrests in August, June and March of 2014, Tanabe was listed as living at a house Carrboro.
Thursday, he gave the townhouse as his address when booked on the charges, records showed. Keaton was listed as living at 5700 Oak Meadow Lane in Raleigh.
Keaton was held in lieu of $10,000 bail.
Tanabe's bail was set at $35,000, double what a magistrate set after his arrest two weeks ago.
Both were due in court Friday.

Spotlight: Lone Wolf and Cub
Little known to most Americans, Lone Wolf and Cub was a Japanese comic book created by Kazuo Koike who drew in what is called the manga style. (A sense of which was had by American children of the 1960s who first saw examples of its anime version on such television shows as Kimba the White Lion and Astro Boy). Immensely popular in Japan, Lone Wolf and Cub was finally reprinted in the United States by First Comics in 1987. Though its story about a disgraced samurai traveling the countryside with his three year old son was virtually unknown in the United States, writer/artist Frank Miller acknowledged its influence on his own work on Daredevil, Ronin, and the Dark Knight Returns, all of which in turn cast a huge shadow over the entire decade of the 1980s.


text: So this past week I was attempting to have a discussion with my student about famous Native Americans. I asked them if they knew the names of any famous Native Americans. My students started calling out names like George Washington, Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King Jr. The only thing I could do was laugh and prod their minds to point them in right direction 🙂

Men, we have to sow adoring compliments if we want to reap the choice fruits of the garden. Tell your love why she has your undivided attention. Want an invitation upstairs? Adore your wife, and you will find the choice fruits will be in season more and more…
1 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with courses of stone;
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
9 You have stolen my heart…
16 Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
Song of Solomon 4:1-7, 9, 16
Men: would you like an invitation to love? We see a recipe for love waiting to be followed here. And it seems to me that the linchpin is adoring compliments. Solomon's bride invites him to come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. That's what we're looking for, guys, yet the bride doesn't get to verse 16 without the preceding 15 verses.
In other words, we have to sow adoring compliments if we want to reap the choice fruits of the garden.
Solomon starts with a description of her beauty. Could you describe the beauty of your wife? He has studied her, watched her, perhaps across the room, perhaps while she engages with others, and he knows the intricacies of her beauty. His desire for her is fueled by the attributes of her beauty.
Now, we might not fully embrace the examples Solomon uses, and I would caution you from repeating his compliments to your wife. If you tell her that her hair is like a flock of goats, you will not get lucky. Not tonight. Not tomorrow. Not in the near future. Be sensitive to your time and the metaphors of beauty around you.
Notice her eyes, her hair, her smile, and her lips. Her neck, her profile, and even her breasts: tell her why she has your undivided attention. Explain to her that she is altogether beautiful to you – there is no flaw in her through your eyes.
I wonder if we act toward our wives as if they have stolen our hearts, or if we act like we are entitled to their affection. We would do best to not get this wrong: Paul explains in 1Corinthians 7 that our bodies are not our own.
3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.
1Corinthians 7:3-4
We are to yield to one another, yet do not twist this to think you can force yourself on your spouse. In Song of Solomon 4, the bride invites her husband into his garden. It's his garden, yet the privilege of enjoying its choice fruits come through the invitation of his wife.
Looking for an invitation? Adore your wife.
Start by asking yourself why she attracts you. Study your love and then share what you see. After she bugs you with, "Well… what's got into you?!?!" she will come around. Plant these seeds and water them daily.
If adoring compliments are your pattern, you will find the choice fruits will be in season more and more…

Lake Ray Roberts State Park had beautiful October wildflowers along the Dogwood Canyon primitive hiking trail. The trail was a little broad and flat for the most part, but it was windy enough to keep it interesting. Their main attraction is the many paved paths for roller bladers, strollers, and bikers. Lake Ray Roberts is conveniently located just north of the DFW metroplex, so makes for a nice gettaway for city folks. The lake has a nice swimming beach and a marina from which we rented 2 Hobie Kayaks. My son's single person Angler decked out with pedals and a rudder left our two person longer kayak in the dust, or rather, his wake. The waves were pretty choppy so we had to stay in the roped off marina waters, but it planted the seed for future private ownership where we can go where we want. I'm interested in river treks.

About Bearsted FC
Bearsted FC was founded in 1895 and is one of the oldest clubs in Kent. Originally playing on Bearsted Green the club moved to Honey Lane, Otham in 1998 to enable the club to compete in the premier division of the Kent County League.
Bearsted where runners up to Snodland in 1999/2000 season and champions in the 2000/01 and 2001/02 seasons under manager Ian Hamer, but promotion was not possible due to ground grading requirements.
The club were early supporters of the Kent Youth League and were champions at under 14 level in 1998/99 and 1999/00 season. Also champions at under 16's in 1998/99 season as well as under 18's in 2000/01, 2001/02 and 2003/04 season.
Since reaching the finals of the Kent Senior trophy in the 2006/07 season, where Bearsted were narrowly defeated by Whitstable town 1.0, the First team had a run of lean years, during which the club ceased to run a senior team on Sundays.
In 2011 the club were invited to join the newly formed step 6 Kent Invicta league for the start of the 2011/12 season.
This decision provided the momentum to create a programme of ground improvements for progression to play at Kent League stats for the first time in the clubs history.
Following the appointment of Kevin Stevens as first team manager, progress was made on the pitch and the team were runners up in both the league and league cup for the 2014/15 season.
The club completed the necessary ground improvements during the 2015/16 season, including the introduction of floodlights, a new stand and hard standing and the team responded by winning the Kent Invicta leagues in an exciting season, to win promotion to the Southern Counties East Football league Premier division.
The club also look forward to competing in the FA Vase for the first time and hopefully the FA cup during the 2017/18 season.
It was dis-appointing that the club could not secure enough support or investment to maintain a Saturday reserves side for the 2016/17 season, but the club decided to appoint Colin Whitfield as Chairman of the clubs youth development to provide a greater focus and resource into developing and retaining our home grown talent for the future.
The club now starts an exciting new era of football with an improving ground at Honey Lane and a new 20 year lease providing security of tenure.

I have heard time after time that the American people aren't paying a price for this war . . . Are they nuts?
Every war we pay, in money, lives and now gasoline.
The high gas prices stem mainly do to profits. But no one is going to accuse them of gouging the American people, not with the capitalist in Washington. Why now? Things like global warming, green house gases we are told. And then you have to wonder where the fuel is coming from for Iraq? Oh and now we have an energy policy that doesn't want to use fuel outside the U.S. More specifically anyone we don't like or doesn't like our dictator . . . Probably Argentina, Iran, Russia, etc., etc. But where does our favorite furor's gas come from? He'll never wait in a line.
You didn't really want to take that dream vacation anyway, did you?

Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne play old military buddies who reunite for a moving final mission in the new trailer for Richard Linklater's Last Flag Flying. The film opens November 3rd.
The film stars Carell as Richard "Doc" Shepherd, a former Navy Corps medic who loses his son in combat and enlists his ex-Marine friends, Sal (Cranston), a hard-drinking bar owner, and Mueller (Fishburne), a reformed and sober pastor, to accompany him to the funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. However, Doc ultimately decides he wants his son to be buried at home, forcing the three men to find a way to get the coffin there.
The trailer teases a poignant yet funny road trip, as Doc learns more about his son and Sal spars with Mueller, quipping at one point, "You worry too much, that's why your hair went gray."
Last Flag Flying is based on Darryl Ponicsan's 2005 novel of the same name, which was a sequel to his 1970 novel, The Last Detail (Hal Ashby adapted the latter into a 1973 film starring Jack Nicholson). Linklater's last film was his 2016 spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused, Everybody Wants Some!!

Guillaume Paris
Miracle, Mystery and Authority
8 March - 25 April 2008

"Modern politics is a chapter in the history of religions"
John Gray
The Nelson-Freeman Gallery is pleased to present the second personal exhibition of Guillaume Paris. Guillaume Paris was born in 1966 and grew up in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe. He studied in the United States at the Cooper Union, where he majored first in engineering and then in art. The anthropological perspective from which he views society and culture is closely linked to his biography.
His H.U.M.A.N.W.O.R.L.D. project – exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2003 – has developed critical ideas about multiculturalism and globalization since the beginning of the 1990s. The « Mixed Blessings » exhibition at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg in 2002 highlighted the takeover of the religious sphere by the world of commerce. Reflecting currents events, « Priceless », exhibited at the Nelson Gallery in 2003, completes the picture by adding the takeover of the religious sphere by politics, just as « Devotion », an exhibition held in Lyon in 2004, and more recently « Paved With Good Intentions » in London in 2007. His work has recently been exhibited at ZKM (Karlsruhe) and the Centraal Museum (Utrecht), and will also be exhibited at the Galerie de Multiples in Paris from March 22 to April 25, 2008. Guillaume Paris has taught at the School of Fine Arts of Paris since 2001.
The title of the exhibition, « Miracle, Mystery and Authority », seems to summarize the artist's set of thematic concerns. All his work constitutes a discursive investigation of the ideals of purity and transcendence, which are viewed with mistrust in their most varied manifestations : from the political to the religious, including marketing and advertising. All of Guillaume Paris' work thus sketches an insidious criticism, which he conveys through an indirect and composite strategy of meanings focusing on the heterogeneity of the signifiers.
For this new exhibition, presented on the second floor of the Gallery, Guillaume Paris pays special attention to the links between « power » and « the sacred ». He calls upon a whole multitude of referents from our everyday lives, from mass culture and dominant ideologies, and his stratagems lead us to the other side of the mirror into a transfigured world where familiar references send back a disturbing echo.
The computer program « Speakingintongues » reproduces randomly the code name of military operations in Irak, and the projection « Ghost (Holy) », Veronica's Veil with no images, contains a twofold reference to painting and cinema. This ghostlike canvas screen is at the interface between the motif and the medium.
The exhibition « Miracle, Mystery and Authority » plunges us into a shadowy realm favorable to meditation as well as magic, and brings together religious, political, artistic and commercial referents.
"We have corrected Your work and we have based it on miracles, mystery and authority"
The Great Inquisitor speaking to Jesus, in The Brothers Karamazov – Dostoyevsky
"So is it true that humanity demands and will always demand miracles, mystery, and authority?"
D.H. Lawrence (in response to Dostoyevsky)

If it were not for the spell checker function on my computer, I could not write this blog, at least in readable form. When occasionally giving a lecture on a blackboard, I would deflect comments by saying right at the beginning, "There are very intelligent people who cannot spell and very stupid people who cannot spell. You will have to decide for yourself which one I am."
So, I was pleased to read in a letter-to-the-editor in The Wall Street Journal the following:
Mark Twain once said, "I don't see any use in spelling a word right, and never did. . . . We might as well make all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome; variety is pleasing."
William James concurred: "Isn't it abominable that everybody is expected to spell in the same way? Let us get a dozen influential persons each to spell after his own fashion and to break this tyranny of the dictionary."
That may have been valid in its day, but today we are so used to seeing uniform spelling, many readers are brought up short by a misspelling and lose the point of the message. William James (American philosopher, 1842–1910) was correct when he spoke about the "tyranny of the dictionary."
Poor spelling is often attributed to poor education. I assure you, our LAHS English teachers did all they could with me. Blaim my ansesters—it must be jenetik.

Review by Joe Taylor
THE MONSTRUMOLOGIST, Rick Yancey, 454pages, $9.99 paperback.
"These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed." These are the opening words set down in a journal by an old man who mysteriously lives to the age of 131 years, as he begins to recount the story of his life as a twelve year old assistant to one Dr. Pellinore Warthrop.
It is 1888 and William James Henry has lost his parents in a house fire. He has been taken in by his father's employer, a tall gaunt man who rarely allows sleep or meals to get in the way of his obsession. He is a Monstrumologist, a scientist who studies monsters. He has just awakened his young assitant in the first hour of morning with the urgent call to "wake up Will Henry and be quick about it!" The boy rarely gets his full eight hours.
They have a caller at the back door. Erasmus Gray is a grave robber who has made a strange and gruesome discovery while plying his trade. If the rumors are true, the shaken old man reasons, there's only one man in New Jerusualem Massachusetts who can be trusted with his discovery– that is Dr. Pellinore Warthrop. The old man has found something in a grave he's robbed. It's dead. Just as dead as the corpse it was in the act of eating.
The life of Will Henry isn't an easy one. His is a life of long hours that often creep into days of no sleep, of a stomach low on food and filled instead with the business of fleeing creatures who have just devoured the adult standing by him only a moment before. Afterward there's the dried blood and skull fragments he sometimes washes from his face, as well as the stench of rotting corpses that burns his eyes and throat throughout his adventures.
And there's Dr. Pellinore Warthrop himself, "Snap to Will Henry, snap to!" There's never a moment to rest in the house of a doctor who never sleeps. He is a man that is nearly impossible to work for, a perfectionist who is rarely pleased, an egomaniac and a narcissist given to bouts of bed ridden melancholia. There are times when Will Henry thinks of running away, but something more than a roof over his head keeps him from leaving the House on Harrington Lane.
Rick Yancey has created an unnerving Victorian world of moonless nights and shadowy halls, half lit by fiery torches and gas jets. His characters are deeply wrinkled and rheumy, pompous and parsimonious. They are sometimes discovered near the end of their tortured lives, about to succumb to stomach turning horrors. Yancey has created a partnership between this master and his young assistant that is one of the best since Doyle introduced civilized society to Holmes and Watson.
The Monstrumologist is a thrilling read, both frightening and humorous with characters you can't forget. You may wish to call in sick to finish this one. I recommend perfecting that cough and rasping voice in anticipation of the event. Believe me, this book is really that good. If you'd like to read a few pages, just click on the book cover below.
The Yaroos! Team has given this book 5 Stars.

(Time Science) by Bryan Walsh
Back at the beginning of January, I wrote that this season was already shaping up to be season that winter forgot in the U.S. About a month later, that prediction is coming true. The average temperature in the continental U.S. in January was 5.5°F above the 20th century norm, and snow was almost nonexistent — the National Weather Service reported that 157 out of 166 American cities had below-average amounts of the white stuff. The groundhog Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted six more weeks of winter when he popped up from his hole on Feb. 2, but for most of the U.S. winter never really began — and the unusually mild days seemed like a coming attraction for global warming.Across the Atlantic, much of Europe is suffering through a winter of historic — and deadly — proportions. Over 600 people have died from the intense cold that has gripped the continent over the past few weeks, with the most severe toll recorded in Eastern Europe. Over 5,000 Russians have suffered from hypothermia or frostbite while the country has seen 20 days of unusually cold weather when temperatures fell 13°F to 25°F below normal and Moscow on Feb. 13 endured temperatures of -4°F. (It could be worse though — temperatures in the northern Russian city of Toko fell to -63°F.)

Found this from here:
I am not sure what your approach it, but since all three books you mentioned were about memorizing characters, I'm going to assume you are not going through a well structured textbook that teaches the characters in context.
If you are anything like most learners of Chinese, trying to learn how to read Chinese from Tuttle and other books that don't introduce characters in a proper context is not optimal. You didn't learn English by memorizing the alphabet song. Why do you go about learning Chinese characters as if reading is purely about the characters themselves? Remember, when people say that literacy requires that you know so-and-so-many characters, they don't mean characters exclusively. They mean the characters PLUS all the words that the characters form. (Because, you know, knowing 目, 的 and 地 will not teach you what 目的地 means.) From thousands of characters, you get tens of thousands of words that will have to be learned. . I would highly recommend introducing some more context-centered reading material as well.
Finding reading material at the beginner and intermediate stage is not hard at all. There are plenty of textbooks out there targeted at people who are at the levels you will be at for the next 1-3 years. Here is a list of books and audiovisual resources I have seen and liked, ordered roughly according to difficulty
- Joel Belassen's two readers. Colloquial Chinese 1 & 2. Chinese Made Easier 1-3. Chinesepod beginner.
- Chinese Made Easier 4-5. Intermediate Chinese. Streetwise Mandarin (With MP3 CD). Chinesepod elementary/intermediate
- Easy reading material for young native speakers, such as 小人书. Simple manhua.
- Reading Chinese Newspapers. Look for simple material on youku, e.g. TV series such as 喜羊羊与灰太狼.
- Read real-life Chinese+translations on ChinaSmack. Get started watching an easy TV series such as 家有儿女. The first episode project will be helpful. ChinesePod advanced.
- Find a few bloggers you like and follow them, e.g. 李银河, 王晓峰, 方舟子. Good idea to pick up some rudimentary classical Chinese at this point, e.g. A Practical Primer.
- Real life newspapers, e.g. 南方周末. Newscasts.
- Pick up a novel. I recommend 余华 as a good starting point.
This should take you to an intermediate/upper intermediate level. For most people we are talking at the very least 2 years of full immersion to get through 1-7. If you can do it faster, then good on you. At that point, you shouldn't have a problem with finding your own reading material.

For what is Thine is ours always, if we are Thine.
And life is eternal; and love is immortal;

and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

Lift us up strong Son of God, that we may see farther;
Cleanse our eyes that we may know ourselves nearer to our beloved who are with Thee.

Prepare us for that happy place.

Last week there were days when I was sure I wouldn't live 'til the end of the day, although I can't describe what's going on as physical pain. My body is beginning to shut down. We were able to find a couple of simple ways to relieve the toxic buildup in my body, and although I can still feel that I am quickly coming to the end of my life here on earth, my eyes and skin are no longer yellow, I can think very clearly, the swelling I was beginning to have has gone away, my nausea is somewhat decreased, and I can eat and drink a little. My oncologist said that as long as we can keep the toxins drained, and keep a little food in me, this process will be eased considerably. One thing that has helped has been ionic foot baths. I've seen those things advertised and thought they were a bunch of baloney, but I immediately felt relief when I had one. So if you also thought they were baloney, think again.

I began having a marked decline at the end of May. After about a week of increasing symptoms, the discomfort settled down, and I was able to function better. I thought maybe I had just ingested too much of some kind of vitamin and needed a break from the greens. But then I began having trouble with regular nausea and could not chew my raw food without getting sick. The oncologist couldn't see why I would be having these problems since my blood work was showing normal results, and my liver ultrasound didn't show anything new. She scheduled a PET scan. Just last week she called me to say that my labs were not as good as she had thought. A portion of them had been signed by another doctor on the team, and she had not seen that part. But my tumor markers had quadrupled in May and my liver enzymes were messed up. I felt relieved in a way to know that what I was experiencing had an explanation - even though it was the cancer. The PET scan was cancelled at my request. (Lest any of you feel defensive on my behalf, this "mistake" would not have changed anything - it would just have given me longer to know what was happening. Once this process starts, only God could stop or reverse it, and He doesn't usually choose to do so.)

I realized right away that we had entered the final phase of my life, and I am very, very ready for it. I've wished, as I've faced the surprising battles of the last few weeks, that someone could tell me what to expect, what I might struggle with, what to be prepared for. I'm so accustomed to researching and preparing for what is ahead. But people don't come back from the dead to guide us, and Jesus Christ is the only one who has done it perfectly anyway. So I'm glad to say, I have that Someone I need and He is daily making Himself more dear to me. I truly cannot wait to see Him.

All that said, I do want to share some of my experience in this valley of the shadow of death before it's too late. I want to acknowledge the struggles and let you know that God has overcome them. I want to tell all of you that He is doing and will do the same for you. Whether or not you see it is between you and God, but I want to shout from the rooftops that if you will just believe Him, even though you can't understand now, even though some things hurt now, He will never truly hurt you. The pain we feel is a reminder that He is making it more than better - He's redeeming things so perfectly, that the pleasure He's preparing for me is beyond my comprehension; and so, even the pain is a grand evidence of His grace.

I have been blind-sided by some of my battles since the end of May. I went througha few days of being terrified that what I had placed my faith in was not real, that I had missed the truth somehow. God took my heart, my eyes, and my mind, and made me see how everything I have learned about Him, everything that has become dear and a comfort to me, is reinforced in every single area of our lives. He is constantly showing us His truth through what He gives us - the earth, people, and especially His Word. And suddenly, all those seeming contradictions we struggle with, all the whys, the unlikely reconciling of the effects of evil with the omniscient good, all those questions about ultimate truth, popped into focus. This is not the end. God has been preparing me for what comes next. And if trouble is part of the preparation, than I can view it as painful training, but not as ultimately powerful evil.

Another difficulty was the weight of my regrets. Everyone who knows me would say that I've lived a good life. And I have. I have been faithful to my husband, I haven't abandoned myself to drugs, I've tried to do what's good for others, I've gone to church regularly, I've prayed and read my Bible, I've invested in my children, I've striven to honor my parents, I've apologized when I was wrong. But it's not enough. It's not enough. My regrets were overwhelming me. Why did I yell at the kids? Why did I rip at my husband? Why didn't I invest more in that lady? Why did I say those cutting things? Why didn't I just resolve that bitterness I've been carrying? As well as I lived my life, it wasn't anywhere near good enough. And the weight is heavy because now there isn't time to re-do or fix. Jesus Christ took my memory and reminded me of the Scripture that my mother and others have poured into it. "Truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes on Him who sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death into life." John 5:25 "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1) These Scripture reminders washed over me and reminded me that Jesus has taken care of all my regrets for me.

But then I thought of the people who have regrets that we all recognize for what they are - big, ugly, havoc-wreaking, self-centered, world-altering mistakes. How do you deal with your regrets when you get where I am? Because you will be here. The most healthy diet in the world will not help you avoid this moment. Look at God's word and be comforted even more deeply than I have been. You also can have no condemnation in Christ Jesus. He doesn't care how bad you or others think your mistakes are. Any mistake of any size is enough to separate you from God in your death, but no mistake of any size is enough to keep Christ from rescuing you just as He has done for me.

As I've become more and more unable to handle what have been my responsibilities, I have struggled viciously with giving up control. I am ashamed to say how many times in the last few days I have lost control of my temper as my duties were handled by someone else or not handled at all. I've felt panicked that I won't be able to prepare my family for what's coming, to live life without me. I have dragged my family on this emotional roller coaster of trying-to-control. But God is getting a hold of my fears, and helping me to trust Him - that whatever He allows during this time is part of my preparation and the preparation of those around me to enjoy Him. My house and family do not have to be handled my way in order to accomplish God's goals.

I've thought so often of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. That man must have lived in the valley of the shadow for a long time in order to be able to describe it so well. His description of Christian's soul-scraping struggles and fears, and then victory, is the most accurate picture of what's been raging inside me that I can think of. I'm so thankful that ultimate victory is waiting.

I am aware that many people from different perspectives read my blog. I have atheist, agnostic, Hindu, Jain, Wiccan, Mormon, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, and wildly-searching friends and aquaintances. I don't know the spiritual persuasions of many of you. But I know this. You will all face what I am facing now. I want for everyone of you to be blessed with the peace and confidence that Christ has given me. I wish that everyone could see during their whole lives what I am seeing so clearly now. God loves us all so completely. His plan has never been to destroy us, but to redeem us and all of His creation perfectly. There is another someone who hates us completely because we are the creation of his Enemy, and he never stops trying to deceive and destroy us as long as we are on this earth. Christ has offered the solution, but we have such a hard time trusting that He truly is the way. We are afraid that if He even is who He claims to be, He is just waiting to slap us into judgement, or at best to take us to a place where we will sit around and sing for eternity. (Sorry, but singing has never been one of my great pleasures, although I do love the words to songs. So I had a hard time getting excited about that view of Heaven.) He tells us so clearly what He wants for us, yet for some reason, we usually don't see it. But it's there, and you will see it too. I hope you will embrace it when you do, that you will search for it when you don't, that you will plead with God to prepare you for eternity with Him. Eternity is real, and you don't want to live it without God and His redemption of all your mistakes. You don't want to miss what is waiting for those who choose to trust God's love.

For God so loved the world,

that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whosoever believes in Him should not perish

but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

Amy's tumor markers have jumped, and her health is rapidly declining. Hospice has been called in, and Amy is anticipating her journey Home.

During this time, we would ask that you pray:

1) That God would be merciful to Amy
2) That He would give strength, comfort and peace to Jon, Amy and the children
3) That He would be honored and glorified in the dark days ahead. That His light would be clearly seen by all who come into contact with the family. That people would be compelled to ask the "reason of the hope that lies within us."

Mrs Caldwell, Amy's mother, is traveling to Denver today.

Mom and Dad Bixby will be heading out on the 4th.

While Jon and Amy have not been able to respond to all of the many expressions of love, encouragement and prayer, they are GREATLY appreciated.Amy Bixbyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-13190468517200522522011-06-20T10:21:00.004-06:002011-06-30T01:23:52.336-06:00SummerI haven't been feeling as well lately. Most days I have periods of nausea, and I've been losing weight again. (I had been steadily gaining since the end of my fast in Phoenix.) I have my monthly appointment with the oncologist next week, so maybe we'll find out what's going on then. The herbal treatment I'm receiving has some significant side effects like lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. Mine tend to be on the low side of normal anyway, so I've been wondering if I'm feeling bad because of having blood sugar and pressure that's too low. We're going to try to monitor those levels routinely.

Meanwhile, while we hope for healing, I realize that's probably not what's happening. As I've watched this year's beautiful spring time I've enjoyed imagining what this would look like if it were all truly perfect. And I have such an anticipations about what God has prepared for His children. I feel like I've been given the most incredible travel package, but my family won't be able to join me yet. I feel a little bad for not being more hesitant to begin my eternity.

I have broadened my diet somewhat. When I began to have a harder time eating, I started eating what appealed to me if I was hungry - which I wasn't a lot. The green juice began making me nauseated, so I've taken a break from that.

Although this summer has not been the smooth sailing I would have asked for, we have been having a good time. I sat down last week with the summer's schedule and the master calendar. Cancer doesn't stop swimming, soccer, art or piano lessons, dentists, orthodontists, pediatricians, employers, youth groups, or libraries. And the kids are involved in it all. I'm glad their lives are rolling along - it's a pleasure to watch them grow. In July, we may be able to enjoy a special week in the mountains, and I'm really looking forward to that possibility.Jonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-81972113606833108672011-05-28T18:02:00.002-06:002011-05-28T18:35:36.164-06:00Liver UltrasoundYesterday we got the results of the liver ultrasound. Doctor Cook explained that it is difficult to compare an ultrasound image with a PET scan image, but from what they could tell, nothing in my liver has changed significantly. She said that what I'm feeling is certainly my liver since nothing else would have caused that kind of discomfort. Her best guess was that an existing lesion in my liver has grown just enough to cause trouble without being obviously bigger.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-64350155938937968952011-05-24T10:50:00.002-06:002011-05-24T11:04:23.844-06:00Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I had a very nice 37th birthday with several nice little surprises. Jon and I ended the day by going out to a vegetarian restaurant, and the meal was delicious.

We've been without online access for a little while, and before that I was spending a good bit of time each day feeling sick from the new treatment I'm doing. I'm currently taking an herbal therapy that has some significant side effects, but in the last week, I've felt like I'm adjusting more completely to this treatment. Anyway, I'm offering my excuses for not keeping you all more informed.

Although I've felt better with my current therapy in the last week, I've also begun to have steadily increasing discomfort in my liver area over the last week. An ultrasound has been scheduled for tomorrow morning, and we'll have the results on Friday when I return to the hospital for my regularly scheduled Zomeda treatment.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-68006746075347784722011-04-05T11:41:00.005-06:002011-04-05T23:14:13.865-06:00Three Bedrooms, a PET Scan, and Chocolate PuddingWe have been hopping busy in the six weeks since we returned from Phoenix. The mess I mentioned in my last update only got worse when we decided to switch and redecorate three bedrooms so that Cara, our oldest, could have her own room when she returned from an extended visit with our families in South Carolina. Five of the children had to sleep downstairs some nights, so the living room and family room (which is already our laundry room extension as well as our physical fitness center) began looking like temporary bedrooms. Several times I wished that sleep was something that only children need. I could spend the nights checking school work, folding laundry, and washing vegetables for the next day's green juice. That way the days could be spent keeping the children (especially the almost-two-year-old boy) out of trouble. I had to take time out of my busy schedule for another Zometa treatment and a PET scan. Before we left Phoenix I began the process to be approved to enter another treatment routine here in Denver, but that process has turned out to be lengthy and I haven't had any treatments other than supplements and diet since the end of February. All things considered, the results of the scan were much better than expected. First of all, my blood work all came back entirely normal – even the tumor markers, which are now 24! My oncologist told me she was very surprised to see that. However, I still have active cancer. I have a new lesion on my liver, but it is small and not uptaking very much sugar. (Click here to read a previous post that explains a little about sugar and PET scans.) The other lesions in my liver have either continued to shrink or have stabilized. One of the lesions no longer shows any abnormal metabolic activity, which means, that although the lesion is still there, it is no longer considered malignant. The lesions in my hip bones also no longer show abnormal activity. The lesions in my spine have not changed since my last scan. We praise God for these results. So many people have asked for my chocolate pudding recipe, and I've neglected to pass it on to anyone who has asked. I'm going to post it here for the enjoyment of all. Don't be put off by the avocadoes. Unless you're allergic to avocadoes (like one of our kiddos), you'll probably never know that this pudding is made with them. I love this treat. 1 ripe avocado, peeled and seeded 2 tablespoons cocoa (use raw cacao or regular cocoa powder, not Dutch processed cocoa, to make this as healthy as possible) 2 tablespoons sweetener like agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional) ½ teaspoon vanilla pinch sea salt Place all ingredients in a food processor with an S blade (the one you usually use), turn it on, and plug you ears. (That's just because I hate the sound of food processors, but if you choose to skip the plugging-your-ears step, the pudding should still taste fine.) I think it's impossible to over-process this stuff, so keep processing until it looks perfectly smooth and then a little more just in case. Taste, and adjust anything you think needs adjusting. I usually add a little more cocoa and sometimes more sweetener, but that's probably because I use such large avocadoes. Place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm it up. If you leave out the coconut oil, it won't firm up quite as nicely, but it will still taste great. One recipe serves two people. If you enjoy dark chocolate, this is the treat for you. If you don't, this will probably be too rich. Help! No matter how many times I try, Blogger will not let me put paragraph breaks in my post. This post sounds about as run-on as the mess in my house is.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-1890314025599372652011-03-04T15:20:00.004-07:002011-04-05T11:10:38.909-06:00Ahhhh...I'm sitting in the hospital getting my monthly Zomeda treatment, so I'm also taking advantage of their wireless internet connection to update. Our dial-up connection at home has always been frustratingly slow, but now it seems to be down right horrible. Either we were totally spoiled by having a wireless connection for the last three months, or our home connection got lazy after having the time off. After a few stops (Santa Fe, El Malpais National Monument Lava Falls, and Focus on The Family - Whit's End in particular), we arrived home on Wednesday last week. It was pure pleasure to walk into our house and know that we would be staying this time. We wondered if Gilead would even remember home, and it was obvious that he did. We had been home only a few hours when he pointed to the top of our dining room china hutch and asked for the candy (cannany or munumanumanum) that we used to keep up there. I have had a wonderful time making a huge mess in every room of the house as I unpack, put the clothes away, remove the clothes from closets and drawers that the kids grew out of while we were gone, empty cabinets to make room for new medications, supplements and products of all kinds, and reorganize the kitchen cupboards. It's homecoming and spring cleaning wrapped up together. I should be finished in another month or two and then we can get back to homeschooling. (That sounds suspiciously like a delay tactic, doesn't it?) The kids can be a huge help. John takes care of Gilead wonderfully well, Nathan usually cheerfully does what I ask him to, Arielle loves to help in the kitchen when she isn't drawing, and Eliana is my little organizer. This morning I walked into our family room to find her folding her basket of laundry, and then she took it upstairs and put her clothes away. (She's 7.) Jeremiah generally does his part by keeping the others occupied with his elaborate imaginary world, and Gilead gets into everything when John isn't keeping him occupied. Now don't they just sound like the kind of kids everyone would like to have? That's because this is a blog and I can portray anything I want to. And today I want to talk very nicely about my children. Check back at a later date for a different picture. Anyway - glad, glad, glad to be home.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-54023985704956908792011-02-20T16:27:00.004-07:002011-02-20T21:29:58.173-07:00Heading HomeSunday, February 13 - Gilead gets throwing-up sick

Monday, February 14 - Internet service is discontinued in preparation to go home. Gilead is still throwing up.

Tuesday, February 15 - Get final blood test results. Tumor markers are 52. Can't post anything for those of you who are waiting for the results due to discontinued internet service. We consider delaying our trip home because Gilead is still occasionally throwing up and constantly being fussy.

Wednesday, February 16 - Gilead finally sleeps through the night and seems to be doing better, so we spend a marathon day packing up and finally pull out of the driveway at about 10:30 p.m. Gilead throws up again less than 3 minutes from our temporary home.

Thursday, February 17 - We arrive in Flagstaff, Arizona at about 1:30 a.m., our first planned stop, although we had planned to be here hours earlier. The check-in guy at the hotel upgrades our rooms to suites for free. Nice. After a good night's sleep we drive to the Grand Canyon for a day of awe-inspiring sights. Gilead fusses a lot, but doesn't throw up again. My legs are extremely sore, and I can't figure out why. Back at the hotel, everyone gets settled in our nice suites, and I begin running a hefty temperature. Now I know why my legs are sore.

Friday, February 18 - Gilead is still not himself and eats almost nothing, but he hasn't thrown up since Wednesday, so in spite of my feeling crumby, we decide to head to the Petrified Forest on the way to our next stop at the home of dear friends, who are so dear that they don't mind if we arrive bearing sickness. In fact they're so dear that they don't mind if I deliver a baby in their home. (Which, thankfully, I didn't do this time, in case you were wondering; but I did do it 6 years ago. Long story. Just know we hadn't planned it that way.) A contrary child notifies us right after we get on the highway that he had forgotten to go potty before we left, and now he has to go bad. So we stop for an unplanned potty break. Everyone gets back in the car, and just as Gilead is being buckled in he throws up. Back into Burger King for a bath in the sink. Jon washes out the car seat with bottled water and baby wipes, everyone gets back in the car, and we try again. Gilead throws up again in about 30 minutes. And again, and again, and again. We cancel all plans for extra stops and make a beeline for Dear Friends' who don't mind if we bring a child who is throwing up...we hope. (A throwing up child is a far cry from a squaling, newborn child.) Dear Friends are truly dear friends and welcome us travel worn folks with open arms and an invitation to stay until we are all better. Which we decide to do.

Saturday, February 19 - Sunday February 20 - So here we are at Dear Friends', and our children have decided that this is much better than the Petrified Forest. The Petrified Forest doesn't have cool games, videos, and good food just waiting for them. Since Gilead and I are now much improved, we plan to hit the road again Monday morning. We're thinking of bringing one member of Dear Friends' family with us since Gilead has become very attached to her.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-15516568625012104152011-02-09T21:24:00.003-07:002011-02-09T21:56:14.339-07:00Wrapping UpThis is my last week of treatments. Although we have entered week 13, Dr. Lodi recommended that I finish out this week. My tumor markers had dropped to 66 on Monday, and we hope to see another good drop by the end of the week. I'll have my final blood draw on Friday, and we'll get one more look at those markers before we head home. We plan to go home about the middle of next week after Jon completes the job he's working on now.

Going home holds its own challenges. We have to choose a new doctor that provides IV vitamin C therapy and get a new treatment routine rolling as well as continue with normal life responsibilities. We also need to aggressively investigate some other treatment options that Dr. Lodi has highly recommended I pursue in Denver. I'd appreciate your prayers that God will make our way clear to us and give us the energy to walk in it.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-35491802369665900922011-02-01T20:47:00.004-07:002011-02-01T21:18:49.895-07:00Keeping OnMy blood work results were disappointing today. My tumor markers remained basically the same - 76. We were really hoping for another drastic drop, but we knew it wasn't guaranteed. Through this past week, the Lord has reminded me constantly through a variety of sources that He always works perfectly, and I can continue to trust Him without reserve when things don't go the way I thought I wanted them to. What peace. I hope and pray that every one of you can have the same peace. The difficulties it usually takes to learn this are worth it.

I've been doing a lot of reading lately. I won't do a review of the following books, but they both deal with trusting our Shepherd and King and have been a powerful blessing to me. I hope some of you will enjoy them too.

I got yesterday's blood work results back this morning, and my markers had fallen to 73! That's a drop of more than 40 points, and if that happens again during this week, I will be in the normal range. Please keep praying.

Selin and Emre - Thanks for getting in touch. I was excited to see your post. Hope you're well and life is pleasant in Turkey. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.

We have been enjoying the balmy spring-type weather here in Phoenix for most of our stay. There have been a couple of cold spells, but the kids didn't realize it was considered cold and they ran around outside barefoot. The desert nights are always chilly, but the weather during the day is beautiful.

Last Saturday we picked oranges and grapefruits at a friend's house, and have been enjoying making fresh juice since then. The kids hardly recognized the juice as the same stuff we normally buy in frozen concentrate. I use lemons regularly in my green juice, and we've been blessed with huge lemons from trees around here too. The treatment center has several pecan trees that are dropping nuts all over the yard, so I've been picking up pecans too. And do you have any idea how much better pecans are straight off the tree than the nuts you can buy in bins or bags? There is simply no comparison. I took a small bag of nuts into the treatment center one day and several of us patients cracked them and shared the meat around. It was the first time most of the folks there had tasted a truly fresh pecan.

We were invited to an interesting potluck dinner last week - all raw, vegan, non-processed food. It was hosted by a family who goes to the church we've been attending since we've been down here. I was having a hard time imagining a smorgasbord of raw food. It was difficult to visualize people walking around with plates piled high with carrot sticks and tomato slices. To my surprise, there must have been about 70 people there, and the array of food was lavish - wraps, fruit salads, nut salads, green salads, cold soups, dips, crackers, and wonderful desserts. Our plates really were heaped, and it looked every bit like a normal potluck. My favorite was a chocolate-strawberry pie, which I shouldn't have eaten since it wasn't IPT day, and my blood sugar wasn't lowered. I only had a small piece, and it was worth the step out of the boundaries. I truly enjoyed almost everything I tried that evening. I even contributed a raw apple pie which I made myself with only a little help from a recipe. (Recipes are only suggestions.) It was a very positive raw food experience.

I have been enjoying my food so much more lately. Thanks to all of you who prayed about that. I made my first cheese sauce out of cashews, garlic, lemon, and a little bit of red bell pepper last night, and tonight I enjoyed it on sprouted grain tortillas with red bell peppers, tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, onions, and (cooked) marinara sauce. It tasted very much like a little pizza, especially after I warmed it somewhat in the oven. Oh, well...it started out raw, anyway.

My white blood cells have been behaving wonderfully, and it's been nearly two weeks since I've needed a Neupagen shot. The counts are falling, and I will need a shot again by next Monday probably, but I'm doing so very much better than I was.

My tumor markers fell this week to 119. We are praying that that number will plummet into the normal range very quickly (30 or below) so that we can all go home. We'd sure appreciate your praying about that too. It's been so encouraging to us to see how the Lord has answered your prayers for us. In case you have wondered, getting the tumor markers into the normal range is really only the beginning of this battle, but it is a very significant part. The challenge is to keep the tumors from growing again once they have been destroyed. That is what the strict diet is expected to help with, as well as a period of maintenance treatments.Jonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-25954562393733526812011-01-12T10:32:00.003-07:002011-01-12T10:50:17.584-07:00ResultsI met with Dr. Lodi yesterday to review the results of my PET scan from last Friday. Almost all of my tumors and lesions have shrunk by about half. Their metabolic uptake has also decreased by about half. (That's the amount of sugar that these cancerous areas are appropriating). The smallest tumor decreased by only 1/3 in both measurements, but that's still an improvement. The previous PET scan in October had showed two areas of concern, but were not positively identified as metastisized cancer - my ovaries and thymus. Both of those areas are completely clear of whatever was causing them to show up on the PET scan. So that was all good news. Dr. Lodi said that if we could compare this to a baseball game, we are on third base. With two outs. So don't give up praying for me. This is still a battle for my life, and perhaps the analogy to a game was a little light for this situation.

I was discouraged when I found out that during the week's break from the IPT treatments my tumor markers climbed to 143. Dr. Lodi told me not to let that get me down, since tumor markers are only a very narrow indicator of how things are going and will almost certainly fall again once treatment resumes - which, by the way, was yesterday.

We discussed future treatments, and I was not surprised that Dr. Lodi recommended I complete a full 12 weeks of treatment. Although I long to go home, I would hate to stop in the middle and lose the progress we've made. The goal is to get my tumor markers down to normal, and then continue with maintanance treatments for approximately a year to a year-and-a-half. Dr. Lodi is reasonably certain that this is an achievable goal over the next month. If my markers continue to fall at the pace they'd been falling before last week, we would be within 10 points of normal at the end of the treatment routine. Tumor markers are not necessarily predictable, though. Please be in prayer about that.

My white blood cells are doing better, and I would appreciate prayers that those cells will keep up with me. I'm feeling a lot better now. The cold symptoms have been rapidly clearing up since last Saturday. And I've been enjoying my food a great deal more. So your prayers are being answered. Thanks very, very much.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-80973884756101837322011-01-04T20:51:00.004-07:002011-01-05T21:31:36.566-07:00Progress and RegressMy white blood cells have been giving me trouble again, and I'm on preventative antibiotics as well as nearly daily Neupagen shots again. I will not be having the IPT chemo treatments until my counts go up and stay there on their own. The doctor hopes that will happen quickly - about a week, but please pray about that. I'd also appreciate prayer that this bug I've been fighting will clear up. Every few days, the symptoms worsen again, and I'm getting worn out from these physical ups and downs. The combination of the chemo and flu bugs is not good.

Yesterday we got more good news about my tumor markers. In the last week they have fallen to 125! Please pray that my break from chemo will not seriously interfere with this progress. I will continue with all my other regular treatments.

One more prayer request. I've been having a hard time enjoying my food lately. Strange, since I loved it at first. Maybe the Christmas season got to me, but I've been pitching internal fits (and one or two that weren't) about not being able to eat the normal things that appeal to me. I threatened to eat a whole plate of pork roast on Sunday, but my supportive husband refused to be intimidated by my tantrum, and patiently reminded me why I'm doing this treatment regimen. All of you who have contributed to help pay for this option are also keeping me accountable. I sure don't want to waste your investment in me. In the last few days I started praying that the Lord would help my to enjoy me food and be thankful for it.

I want to tell you one very encouraging story from another patient. This man is a doctor who was recently diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. (Pancreatic cancer has only about a 5% survival rate.) His oncologist recommended to him, doctor to doctor, that he decline the standard treatment and prepare to die. He came here about a month ago, and although this world of alternative medical treatment was a real challenge to his training, he decided to embrace it. His tumor markers very rapidly fell into the normal range and his PET scan over the weekend showed absolutely no unusual metabolic activity. He is one grateful man. It was funny to me, after all my food struggles lately, when he told me today that he is asking God to help him enjoy the food he has now committed to eating for the rest of his life.Jonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-19328669723931930082010-12-31T17:56:00.003-07:002010-12-31T18:11:01.056-07:00Happy New YearI had treatment today, but I'm home now and enjoying an evening with the family. We were very excited to find out that my tumor markers have fallen to 153 now. A normal tumor marker is 30 or less, so we still have a way to go, but the progress so far is remarkable. On January 7, I will be flying back to Denver for a PET scan so we can get a visual of the progress. I will have completed 7 weeks of treatment by then, and the scan will provided the information we need to decide how to continue. I was initially told I should expect to stay here for 8 to 12 weeks. From what I understand, how long I should continue here will depend on how many more bi-weekly IPT treatments I will need. Once I get beyond needing these treatments 2 times a week, I can go home, continue with most of the other treatments in the Denver area with various providers, and fly back here periodically for maintenance treatments over a period of a year or so. ....a year or so... That sounds pretty good. We were thinking a few weeks ago that my life could be over in 6 months. Now we're cautiously looking out over the next year and making treatment plans.Jonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-41923452872267901282010-12-29T21:51:00.003-07:002010-12-29T23:10:45.501-07:00I've needed 2 more Neupagen shots since Monday, but finally today my white blood cell count rose to a healthier level. I also began feeling significantly better today, although I'm still very tired. My wbc's dropped low enough that I needed 3 days of IV antibiotics to prevent the onset of bacterial infections. I sure hope this does not become an ongoing problem and would appreciate your prayers concerning that.

If you want to know more about the kind of chemo treatment I'm receiving, click here. I do have a word of caution before you read this site's explanation. There is a glowing report that a patient can receive this therapy with little or no side effects. You might begin to wonder what went wrong in my case. If someone has never received any chemotherapy before, the lack of side effects from IPT therapy is remarkable. But most of us who are seeking out such non-conventional therapy are doing so because we've already had standard therapies and the cancer has returned. So most of us do have side effects similar to those we had with our standard treatments. They are usually delayed and often less severe, but those effects are still there.

IPT therapy is only one of the many therapies I do on a weekly basis. To answer the questions of several folks, the diet I am doing is very similar to that used in the Gerson therapy. The common thread through almost all alternative cancer treatments is a mostly raw, vegetarian or vegan diet. When my doctor was asked this week by a fellow patient why he uses any type of chemo at all, he explained that most of the patients he deals with (reccurrent stage IV cancer patients) do not have the time left to them to deal with their cancers with diet alone. So he attempts to stop the aggressive cancer growth with IPT, and then rebuild healthy cells with the other therapies, including the raw diet. And I am thankful to the Lord, that so far, this approach is showing success for me.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-76252994657916179422010-12-26T11:26:00.004-07:002010-12-29T21:51:19.205-07:00Merry ChristmasI hope all of you had a very pleasant Christmas. We sure did. The kids have received many thoughtful gifts from lots of people. This has probably been their "biggest" Christmas ever. Several of them had asked me what we were going to do for Christmas. They understood that this year would be quite different from the norm, and they were worried they would have to forgo presents altogether. But many of you made sure their Christmas was beyond their dreams. They've had so much fun.

The review of my ongoing blood tests a few days ago brought good news. My tumor markers have begun to fall again. As of a week ago, they had fallen to 175. So we're still making progress. My PET scan is scheduled for January 7, and that will give a picture of how much things have changed.

Although the chemo I'm receiving at this treatment center is a world different from standard chemotherapy (it's only about 10% of the standard chemo dose for one thing), it still has side effects that tend to accumulate. I had lots of trouble with red blood cell counts during my first round of cancer and chemo, but this time, it has gone much better. Probably that's because of all the green juice as well as the regular chlorophyll supplements I've been taking. My white blood cells, on the other hand, have been presenting a problem. I've had to have weekly Neupogen shots to boost my white blood cell production. Last week, I began fighting a severe cold which evidently complicated matters even more because I had to have 3 Neupogen shots in 6 days. I hope the need for that diminishes. That's an expensive shot - $400.00. At least I'm not being prescribed Neulasta which is what I was given for white blood cells in 2009. That shot costs $4,000 per dose.

I have also begun losing my hair again. It's not coming out fast and furiously like it did the first time around, but I'm definitely losing much more than is normal. People who choose this treatment option with the first occurrence of cancer do not tend to lose their hair. But since I've already lost mine once, hair loss is much more likely to happen again. At least I've already been there, and I know the positive aspects of being bald.

The Lord has been so dear to me during all this. He has given me a true anticipation for whatever path he chooses to take me down. Trusting him completely is such a burden-reliever. And he doesn't let us down.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-61329835260343640812010-12-16T16:03:00.002-07:002010-12-16T16:13:20.598-07:00This will be quick, but I wanted to let you all know how it's going.

First of all, the finances have been coming in a week at a time, about when we need them. The youth group at Tri-City Baptist church in Westminster, Colorado (our church) hosted an incredible fund raiser for us that blew everyone away. I didn't get to be there, but these guys evidently did an incredible job pulling together a nice meal and a silent auction. I have heard nothing but enthusiastic reviews of the whole event. Jon and I were so touched by everthing that folks there did. They raised more than $14,000 for my medical expenses. A morning show radio host in Greenville, South Carolina, Russ Cassell, also actively asked for funds for my treatments. His efforts provided about $8,000. There have been numerous gifts that have made this all roll along for us.

The treatments are still going well. My tumor markers fell drastically, then plateaued last week. Treatment was adjusted this week, and then we'll see what happens. I'm feeling great - just as healthy as ever. Our whole family is together here in Phoenix, and I'm so glad we don't have to be separated over Christmas. We're having a good time here. Although spring weather at Christmas just doesn't seem quite right.

Enjoy some of these good old Christmas treats in my honor. (My favorites are...um...used to be...sausage balls, bacon wrapped asparagus bites, and cheesy shrimp dip.)Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-24244295933262046172010-12-07T16:11:00.002-07:002010-12-07T16:21:14.025-07:00BlessingsI'm now about 3 weeks into my treatments here at Oasis of Healing. I had a consultation with Dr. Lodi last week in which he gave me very encouraging news. My tumor markers have begun to fall steadily from their high of about 265. He said my other tests have shown that I am very strong physically and all the results were "perfect". We sure have been encouraged. Part of my treatment here has been a 14 day juice fast, which I am almost done with. I've been drinking 5 to 6 quarts of green juice each day. Even the veteran juicers here have been surprised at how much I've been drinking, but I find its the only way to keep myself from succumbing to the urge to pick in what I cook for the family. All the green juice has had a pretty profound effect on some of the other treatments, and things seem to be going very well.

Many of you have helped us in lots of ways - meals, gift cards, donations to cover the medical expenses, getting us settled here in Phoenix. It is impossible to let you know how deeply thankful we are, and I don't even really know how to begin. Jon and I have been overwhelmed at the down pour of love and caring we have received from hundreds of people, many of whom we don't even know. We have moved beyond the showers of blessings that the song talks about, and are fully into the flood. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-27574214193968521102010-11-25T18:20:00.003-07:002010-11-25T18:30:08.477-07:00Thanksgiving DinnerJust thought you all might enjoy a review of my Thanksgiving dinner. Although I didn't have any treatments today, the center did provide a raw vegan meal for me. I'll list the items on the plate clockwise, starting at 1:00.

Mock mashed potatoes - blended cauliflower and macadamia nuts with mushroom "gravy" - so-so
Stuffing - I think this was a nut pate with regular stuffing seasonings - very good
Mock Turkey - not sure what this was made from - maybe mung bean sprouts? - okay
Green Bean Casserole - made from broccoli stalks and onions - very, very good
Cranberry relish - yummy, yummy
Waldorf salad - delicious
Dessert (not shown) - pumpkin pie with a nut crust, carob mouse pie - both were delicious!

My first experience with a vegan Thanksgiving meal was a very nice experience.

Hope you all enjoyed yours!Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-75893306999609928492010-11-20T22:21:00.004-07:002010-11-22T20:27:43.085-07:00First WeekI haven't had much access to the web in the past week, so I'm slow in letting you all know how much I appreciate all my anonymous friends out there. It's impossible to completely say how very much we're thankful for what you're making possible. The folks here at the center have already been impressed with the kind of support they have seen us receiving. I hope it will be a reflection on the kind of God we serve.

I've had a full week's worth of treatments now, and so far so good. Saturday's treatment was with Zomeda - a drug to attack the bone cancer - and it made me feel pretty uncomfortably flu-ish for about 24 hours. None of the other treatments have caused serious discomfort. The chemotherapy is administered after insulin has been used to drop my blood sugar, so I get a mighty blood sugar ride. It's not exactly pleasant, but it's all worth it because I get to eat dessert after the treatment to bring my blood sugar back to normal. I haven't eaten sweets for months now, so that's a real special treat. (Even healthy desserts are limited to after chemo treatments.) And those desserts are made from entirely raw vegan ingredients. You would never have known the difference between the almond fudge I had on Thursday and normal fudge. Today I had coconut-almond macaroons which I also loved. It's absolutely amazing what the chefs here do with raw veggies, seed sprouts, and nuts. I'm certainly not suffering. I will be providing many of my own meals beginning next week, since, although the food is delicious, it is also very pricey. Because I've been eating raw food since late July, I feel prepared to handle my own food needs. I sure am excited to try making nut cheese on my own. We did that in "cooking" class this week and the result was very similar to feta cheese. And I had thought I would never be able to eat cheese again.

Last week I have had 4 Vitamin C IV treatments, 1 infrared sauna treatment, one oxygen treatment, 1 chemo treatment (called IPT therapy), 1 Zomeda treatment, 1 specialty massage (too intense to be a pleasure massage), 1 treatment I would rather not go into detail about (a good one - but you'll just have to guess what it is), exercise classes, food preparation classes, several consults with the head nurse to educate me on the oral vitamin therapies, and a 3-hour consultation with the doctor in charge, Dr. Lodi. Last week was light since I didn't check in until Tuesday afternoon and since it was my first week. Next week, several of the therapies I listed will be doubled (not the vitamin C and thankfully, not the Zomeda which will only be given once a month), and several others will be added.

I've gotten to know many of the other 20 or so patients. What a diverse group! I haven't found two from the same state yet, and several are from other countries. Today I learned from another patient that all the patients who are currently involved in treatment and have reached their 5-to-6-week mark have received good news from their mid-point PET scans. The extent of the good news varies from person to person, but all are evidently doing better than standard medicine had predicted. What an encouragement!Jonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749794883933277205.post-26967260057751522112010-11-12T18:06:00.002-07:002010-11-12T18:16:36.470-07:00Website and fund raising...This is Amy's sister in law, Amy C Bixby :) As we share names, I have given myself permission to "highjack" Amy's blog just long enough to share with you, who are following this blog and offering prayer support to Amy, the new tools that are available for staying updated and knowing how you can help.

She was very supportive of our decision to try another type of treatment, and said she would do whatever she can to move this treatment option along. I won't go into all the details here on the blog, but just know that I sure am thankful for an open-minded doctor.Jonhttp://email@example.com

I have never been a big fan of New Year's resolutions. Maybe that is because I have failed on all of them. I figure…if you are going to make changes in your life…do it! Don't just sit back and wait for a specific date to roll around. If you think change is important…then it is important on October 14th too.
This is why, instead of resolutions…I make commitments. Most of them are not new commitments. For the most part, they are re-commitments or strengthened commitments. Below are my New Year's COMMITMENTS.
- I will place my relationship with my wife above all other relationships. The Church will not come before my marriage.
- I will place my relationship with my kids above all other relationships (save marriage). I am called to be a leader of my family and my children before I am called to be a leader in the Church.
- I will actively pursue a healthy lifestyle…not only for me…but for my family (see commitments #1 & #2). At the end of my life, I will NOT look back and realize that my life is ending earlier than it should because I couldn't say "no" to unhealthy eating and "yes" to exercise.
- I will spend more time outside of the local church. I have committed too much of my time to dealing with believers in the past. We are called to reach the lost…and that is what I will do. This is not negotiable.
- I will turn off the computer, the cell phone, and the TV and just spend time with God regularly. Distractions will not keep me from seeking the Lord.
- I will manage our finances in a way that glorifies God and blesses our family.
- I will preach the Word no matter how uncomfortable it becomes for me or for those listening. I will NOT back down.
- I will live my dreams…NOW.
- I will fish more this year than I did last year. Hey…I get to have some fun too.
- I will be an example to those around me…and all those I come in contact with…of the love and service of Jesus Christ.
What are your New Year's commitments?

Scripture: Jeremiah 10:
1 Hear what the LORD says to you, house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says:
"Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the sky,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a skilled worker shapes it with a chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
BibleGateway.com – Passage Lookup: Jeremiah 10,11,12; John 14
Observation: Our faith is what we make of it.
Application: When you read the scripture above, what thing that is a major part of our Christmas celebrations comes to mind? Yes, the ever loved Christmas tree. Many people don't realize how infused our traditions are with pagan practices and mythical lore. Now before we go much further I have to say that I'm not trying to get you to burn your Christmas trees, in fact I enjoy the beauty of a well decorated tree. They always bring back wonderful memories of my childhood and give me that nervous excited feeling of expectation for that special day.
There is no doubt that the origins of the Christmas tree are founded in pagan belief systems. This is but one example of influences outside of and sometimes opposed to our faith within our modern traditions. Even the date of Christmas Dec. 25th may have been used because many of the early Christians, who were converted pagans, were used to having a celebration on that day and didn't want to give up the holiday, so to appease them and keep them faithful to the Church early leaders adopted the day and changed the meaning to that of a celebration of Christ's birth.
Despite the origins of our traditions, I believe that what is of the highest importance to God is the meanings we attach to them now. When the words of Jeremiah were written, bringing a tree into your house and adorning it with silver and gold had a totally different meaning than it does for us. I don't think that God is angered by Christmas trees or mistletoe or Yule logs or Easter bunnies, today. Symbols and traditions mean different things to different cultures and ages, what is important is the faith behind them for us now.
This year when I see a Christmas tree, it will remind me of Jesus and how God sent His Son to earth to live a life as one of us and to teach us how to be reconciled to Him. When I see the star on the top I will be reminded of the star that led the wise men to visit Him, and the gifts underneath will remind me of the gifts they presented to Him. Our traditions and cultures may have changed greatly over the years, some things may have found their way into them from unusual sources that you would not expect, but the heart of the matter is that through these things and the meanings they have to us now we are forging our faith in Christ and thinking about God.
Prayer: Father of All Creation,
Thank you for your love and grace. Please forgive me when I fail to acknowledge you in even the most miniscule moments. Grant me the ability to look upon all things and be reminded of your love and your majesty. Keep me on the path you have placed before me and renew my spirit that I may serve you with a full heart and with all my passion and strength.
Love Michael

"Those NPA+ types seem to relate well to the "common man" perhaps because they share traits with all of them, no matter their types."
Hillary is unelectable because she lacks a common touch. All that smiling she does is fake to the bones. She only does it because her husband tells her to smile more. Her behavioral range is significantly limited. Remember, she was the power behind the throne when Bill was president. That's where she operates best, behind the scenes wire-pulling. Plus, an A+ type would never cry the way she cried during her run in the primaries a few years back. PA- is a much better choice for Mrs. Clinton.

Zoho Desk, industry's first context-aware help desk software, epitomizes Zoho's 'Made In India – Made For the World' ethos.
Zoho has launched Zoho Desk, the industry's first context-aware help desk software, which was built in Tenkasi by a team of 150. Zoho Desk uses customer data from past interactions and from other Zoho products, like Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects, to organise tickets and intelligently present information to agents so that they can better understand a customer's problem and resolve it efficiently.
"Zoho has challenged conventional wisdom so many times in its history. We built the first software products from India when IT services were the rage and established them in the global market. We are now showcasing something that has never been done before: the first software product created in rural India, world-class in its refinement, competing with the best," said Sridhar Vembu, CEO, Zoho Corp.
"What started out five years ago as a small team of three engineers has blossomed into a team of over 150 people, located in beautiful rural surroundings near Tenkasi.
"In an industry where companies have come to believe that the only location that matters in the cloud is few square miles of downtown San Francisco, we are proving that a determined and sincere group of people can build path-breaking products anywhere," Vembu said.
"We believe rural talent should not have to leave home to find opportunity. Our broken urbanisation model creates severely overcrowded and polluted megacities and
denudes rural areas of talent. That is why what Zoho Tenkasi is doing matters."
Zoho Desk is the sixth product that the company has launched in 2016. Zoho Desk helps companies deliver the right solution at the right time. Its user interface packs innovations like Work Modes that help agents send context-aware responses, the Headquarters dashboard that provides the visibility managers need to make better decisions, and the Team Feed to help the entire company participate in customer service.
"When companies started providing online customer support, they did so through email. As a result, even today, most help desk products look like personal email inboxes. Customers have evolved from just needing their problems resolved to expecting more transparency and quicker responses, but software hasn't kept up,"
said Vembu. "Every interaction with a customer is an opportunity for the company to grow. With Zoho Desk, we aim to provide companies with the context, understanding and tools to focus on customer happiness in every opportunity."

Most Vivalogue authors can recover their costs by selling less than 200 books.
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) February 26, 2013
Vivalogue has again been selected as the publishing choice for author David E. Burnell's new book, tentatively titled Shades of Blue. After surveying the industry, Burnell decided that Vivalogue's unique combination of editorial, design and publication services was more efficient and affordable than either self-publishing or print-on-demand alternatives.
Burnell published his first novel, The Elevator, using print-on-demand but was dissatisfied with the finished product. "The type was too small, the pages too cramped and the cover wasn't interesting enough," said Burnell. "The book also needed to be copy edited and the publisher did not offer this service." As well as being disappointed with the quality of the book, Burnell was disappointed with the pricing structure – he could not set the retail price and retained too little of the proceeds.
Burnell also investigated self-publishing but was daunted by the amount of effort required. He preferred Vivalogue's cafeteria model which allows authors to select the services the need. For his next two books, Coven of the Unholy and Dad's Christmas Stories, Burnell contracted Vivalogue to provide a full range of services – copy editing, layout, custom cover, printing and publication.
"We pride ourselves on helping authors produce professionally-published books with a minimum of effort. Most Vivalogue authors can recover their costs by selling less than 200 books," said Lynn Duncan, Vivalogue's Canadian director. "Our authors want to spend their time writing, not navigating the intricacies of the publishing world. At the same time, they need to keep the costs down." Vivalogue's new relationship with Red Tuque Books also gives him access to nationwide distribution through traditional book-sellers and on-line through Amazon.
In addition to short-run fiction, Vivalogue specializes in publishing books as fundraisers. The company offers three self-funding models which allow charities to undertake book projects without financial risk. For more information, visit http://www.vivalogue.ca.
