Do you want straighter teeth without having to endure years of wearing unattractive and uncomfortable metal braces? Invisalign® may be a beneficial solution for you. We offer Invisalign treatment in addition to our traditional orthodontic treatments. Invisalign teeth aligners are clear, removable trays made from a custom-fitted plastic that work to gradually and gently shift your teeth into alignment for a straight, healthy-looking smile. These teeth aligners are virtually invisible, easy to remove for eating and cleaning, and have the ability to straighten your teeth in a relatively quick amount of time.

Invisalign lets you keep showing your confident, metal-free smile to the world as the aligners work to gradually straighten your teeth—without anyone having to know. Enjoy a straighter smile without the the bold appearance of metal braces, using the advanced Invisalign orthodontic treatment at Kois Orthodontics.

What Can Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign can correct a variety of common orthodontic concerns, such as:

In addition, the Invisalign system can be utilized in more complex cases, including those involving jaw surgery and restorative dentistry, such as veneers, crowns, and dental implants.

What Are the Advantages of Invisalign Treatment?

I had Invisalign done with Dr. Brienne Roloff and it was a perfect experience from beginning to end. She is a perfectionist who and was attentive and professional from the initial consultation through to post-treatment. I’ve had orthodontic work done before and it can be a confusing and daunting process but Dr. Roloff provided confident and reassuring guidance the whole way. My situation was particularly tricky because of dental work that needed to be performed simultaneously and Dr. Roloff coordinated with my dentist to ensure everything went smoothly. It was a completely stress-free experience for me and I can’t recommend her enough!

What Is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen utilizes the same technology as classic Invisalign but is specially designed for the needs of teenagers. Each custom-made set of clear aligners features small blue compliance dots that are hidden and gradually fade as the aligners are worn. This helps indicate whether the teen is wearing their Invisalign aligners enough, or if additional time is needed to progress to the next set of aligners. Invisalign Teen aligners are also created with small spaces built in, which allows for developing molars to grow while being guided into a straight position.

At a time when young men and women are especially conscious of their appearance, teenagers can benefit from the discreet appearance of Invisalign. Teens today also have busy schedules with school and extracurricular activities. With Invisalign, they can also avoid the inconvenience of coming into the office for extra appointments to address issues that often occur with metal braces, such as broken brackets and rubbing of brackets and wires. Invisalign is also generally much more comfortable and convenient, especially for those playing sports and musical instruments. As an added benefit, if Invisalign Teen aligners are misplaced, parents can order a replacement to help their teen continue their treatment protocol without an extended wait period.

What Is Invisalign First?

Similar to Invisalign Teen, Invisalign First is designed to accommodate an evolving smile as teeth continue to develop. For young patients, this version of Invisalign can address a wide range of concerns that relate to tooth position, such as crowding, gaps, and narrow arches. With this form of child orthodontic therapy, known as Phase 1 treatment, patients are typically between the ages of 6 and 10. Even with baby teeth still present, Invisalign can help address orthodontic issues before they become more severe.

Through the use of SmartForce® technology, Invisalign First considers the unique measurements of a child’s teeth and mouth, including shorter crowns, teeth about to erupt, and changing tooth position. In addition to being more comfortable than many alternatives, this orthodontic system offers more predictable outcomes for children needing early phase treatment.

What to Expect from Invisalign Treatment

An Invisalign treatment at Kois Orthodontics will begin with our orthodontist, Dr. Brienne Roloff, creating a completely customized set of aligners to fit your teeth. To ensure your personalized appliances provide optimal improvement for your needs, Dr. Brie uses state-of-the-art orthodontic technology systems to achieve the utmost precision. The planning process begins with Dr. Brie taking digital scans of your mouth, which replaces messy and often uncomfortable impressions that are traditionally taken. She also employs CBCT technology along with other records to plan the personalized details of your unique case. Through this in-depth planning process, Dr. Brie can make sure the design of your aligners provides the most predictable movements and effective results possible.

Once you receive your custom-made aligners, you will be instructed to wear them at least 20 to 22 hours every day. You should limit removal to when you are eating, cleaning the aligners, and brushing or flossing. At each appointment, you will be given several sets of aligners to take home so that you will only need to return to the office about every 4 to 10 weeks. Each set of aligners is generally worn for 5, 7, or 10 days at a time. These aligners will work to gradually shift your teeth into place over the course of your treatment, with the final result being a beautiful, straight smile.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

The typical Invisalign patient completes treatment in 12 to 18 months, depending on the severity of crowding. To ensure your experience is as efficient as possible, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for the recommended amount of time each day. Dr. Brie can provide a more accurate timeline based on the specifics of your needs, as well as how often you wear your aligners.

Will Invisalign Be Painful?

Invisalign tends to cause much less discomfort than traditional bracket braces. Each time a patient changes to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort as teeth are moved into their new position. This is normal and is a good sign that the aligners are working.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of Invisalign will vary for each patient, but it is often similar to that of traditional metal braces. Your total will be influenced by the extent of your teeth straightening needs, which determines how many aligner sets will be involved in your treatment and how many months you will need to wear them. Invisalign is covered by many orthodontic insurance plans, but you will need to check with yours to get an accurate estimate. Our team will provide you with a cost estimate and different payment options to help you plan for your orthodontic treatment.

From Hybrid Dome Theater solutions and walk-through domes to customized attractions immersing guests into the scenery with a large scale dome – dome theaters can be applied in various applications for entertainment as well as museums and exhibitions.

While the domes in standard planetarium applications are placed above the spectators – which we can implement for you – dome theater applications take the experience to another level. By placing the guests physically into the dome, they are directly immersed into the action, the story or the experience. Using highly-sophisticated, multi-projector solutions together with high-resolution, photo‑realistic images and multi-channel audio systems, your guests are immersed into an experience they will never forget. Guests enjoy crystal clear images without shadows regardless of where they are seated in the dome.

Dome theaters can be individually tailored – taking into account not only the building layout but also the type of attraction and the story itself. 2D and 3D content, special effect seats and motion platforms in various types of positions as well as custom screens can be implemented to create an unforgettable adventure.

“Toss and wash” is basically just spooning the powder into your mouth and washing it down with a liquid.
This is the most “difficult” method but likely gives the strongest effects. The powder is incredibly dry and will stick to your mouth and throat, causing many to gag or cough “blow” the dry powder out of their mouth. If using this method of consumption, it is best to spoon small amounts at a time.

 Kratom can also be mixed into a food.

ice cream and coffee prepOur favorites recipes include mixing with apple sauce or ice cream!

Other good suggestions include mixing with chocolate almond milk or chocolate protein powder.

Keep in mind that kratom has a strong flavor and may not mix well in certain foods. Also, you will not reduce the efficacy of kratom if you take it with small amounts of food or any of our recommended recipes.

User Food Recipes (If you have a favorite recipe, feel free to send it to us to post!)

  • Reddit User nicolio8699:
    1/2 c vanilla yogurt (I used light & fit, but Greek would most likely be better because of its thicker consistency)
    1/4 c. lemon juice
    1 TBSP of powdered bali

Kratom tea
Kratom tea

 Lastly, preparation as a tea is convenient and effective.
It is important to note that only powdered leaf should be used to make tea. Extracts should not be used.

Start by measuring out between 1 teaspoon of powdered leaf. Using an extract is not recommended, as the hot water may break down some of the alkaloids, there’s no added benefit, and it’s more expensive. Boil 2-4 cups of water. The more water you use, the less strong the flavor, but as long as you drink it all the effects will be exactly the same.

Put the kratom powder into a large cup or container with a pour lip, and pour the boiling water on top. Stir until it is thoroughly mixed. Be sure there aren’t any clumps of dry powder. I highly recommend adding sugar, artificial sweeter, or honey (honey works the best to cut the bitterness), and stir. If using artificial sweetener, 2 packets is a good starting amount. Let sit until cool (at least 15 minutes), stirring occasionally.

Once cooled, allow the powder to settle to the bottom. Pour the tea into a drinking cup, and enjoy! At this point you can add more sweetener to taste, or add water or ice cubes to dilute the flavor. As long as you drink all of the liquid, the effects will be the same.

User Tea Recipes (If you have a favorite recipe, feel free to send it to us to post!)

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 spearmint teabag
  • 1 chamomile teabag
  • 2 teaspoons kratom
  • sugar, honey or artificial sweetener to taste
  • 1 teapot (I use something like this)

Double/triple/etc. the quantities to make a bigger batch.

  1. Boil water in a kettle.
  2. Put both teabags and kratom in the teapot and pour boiling water over top.
  3. Let it steep for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Remove teabags.
  5. Put teapot in fridge and let it sit overnight. Kratom will settle to the bottom.
  6. In the morning, slowly pour the tea into a glass. Be sure to stop pouring once you notice the plant matter is about to come out of the spout. There will be a layer of kratom sludge left in the teapot—just dump it down the sink.
  7. Sweeten tea and drink! (I like to use two packets of Sweet’N Low.)

  1. Hello I just purchased some does anybody know the best way to consume for insomnia?

  2. I am on day 7 of quitting 55mg methadone cold turkey… I honestly have never felt so much pain and just wanted to die…well researching how to help with withdrawls is how I heard of kratom…I and feel better but I cant seem to gain any strength back and have the rls I’ve ever had…I have a bone disorder and had 6 knee surgeries to fix where my bone didnt grow right…I have literally tried everything so I am excited to heard how well it works for all of u…what dose would be best to start with?

  3. I usually put about 10 grams of White Maeng da in the morning or Red Bali in the evening into a coffee maker right in the coffee filter and make it like a cup of Joe though I use lots of honey
    Taste like a nice bitter-sweat tea

  4. Will you get a green Poopoo stain in your underwear

    1. Yea

  5. I use a tablespoon (not a measuring one) and put some stevia in it. Put the Kratom on top of that, then more stevia on top of I Kratom. Just take that and chase it wirh water. You could use sugar as well. It’s like…”a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down”.

  6. I am looking for a new delivery method. I suffer from chronic degenerative joint disease and I have been using kratom daily for about 3 years now instead of prescribed opioids. I mix 20-21 grams of leaf powder into an ice cream and almond milk shake. When I started using kratom I used 5-7 grams. So you do build a tolerance to it. I have experienced withdraw if I skip my evening shake. Basically some heavy night sweats and maybe a little extra aches the next morning but not sure on that because of my chronic pain.

    I am wondering if making a tea would allow me to reduce my dosage or if I would still need the same amount of powder. I only use green strains because of the pain relief + stimulant effect, typically Maeng Da, Malay, or Super Green. Thanks for any suggestions.

    1. I get the empty 00 capsules from Amazon ($2.00) and the bag has like, 200 capsules. I fill them up, since they’re large each one hold about 500grams? I believe? So I just take the capsules and u don’t have to taste anything at all!

      1. I was unable to digest the capsules in any form, whether I bought kratom caps, or bought non-gelatin caps and filled them. If I opened the prepackaged kratom capsules I bought, and used only powder, it worked the same as powder, so the packaging manufacturer did not cheat by mixing other fullers. But in capsules, it had no effect, no matter how many I used.

        1. I have the same problem with the capsules, it’s like the gelatin counteracts with the Mitragynine or something. I usually do the wash it down method, it’s the strongest effect for me.

      2. I buy the size 00 capsules at, 1,000 capsules at a time. They’re quite cheap. On Amazon, I bought a capsule-filler contraption (for lack of a better word). It takes me about 20 minutes to fill 50 capsules. Now that I’m trying kratom tea, I won’t be filling so many capsules. This is a good site.

      3. 500 mg?

    2. 20 grams is alot. I would advise going down to 15g. Getting use to that. Then 10g and so on. U will need to feel the pain to reduce dosage. I’ve been using kratom for almost 4 years. I think the most I’ve ever used in one day was 40-50grams, I was driving for 24 hrs straight lol. But I would say my ritual has been between 2-5g 41x times daily. The last year my dose has been 3g 4x daily. Up until just this last week, I decided I wanted to not rely on kratom so much. I decided not to take it 1st thing in the morning or throughout the day. Just at night when I need it the most. 1st day of that was rough, not gonna lie. Now day 5 and its starting to feel normal to dose only at night! Anyways, you can reduce it to the most minuscule amount if you really want to!

      1. Yes? That’s a LOT

    3. Hi. Last night I took 4 scoops of red bali powder and I boiled it for 20 on low. Drank it and wow! I was doing 1 scoop. It was more like a stimulant. 3 scoops is 1 tsp and adds up to 2.8 mg. Are you using the powder or pills? Sorry ADHD. I forgot. Anyways. I felt so relaxed. I have CPTSD as well and can be very irritable and this stuff is the bomb. What strain do you like? Maybe try the red bali. Also 10mg wow. It really does build up tolerance. I’m happy to hear you are off the Rx opiates though. I’m hearing 2 things. 1. That Kratom actually IS an opioid and 2. that the colors and strains all come from the same plant and that the strain thing is like a gimmick or a marketing tool. Good luck and again glad to hear that this plant helps you. Also do be care as you can overdose but hey you can overdose of H2O and donuts too. 👍🤗😁

      1. Hey, I seen ur post on this website and thought u might be able to assist me? I’m brand new to Keaton. I just heard about it and went out an bought some Red Borneo Kratom, 1 ounce bag. I added one spoon full to a cup of water and heated up in the microwave, let it cool, stirred and tried to drink.🤢🤮 it was so nasty. I haven’t tried it again. Someone suggested that I go online and try 3 find a different way to drink it. Hence me being here right now. After reading somethings on here I think I have a better idea of what I should do. Probably first starting off by draining before I drink it.😊 it had chunks and grit in it the first time. But, any suggestions or help you can offer me? would be very much appreciated. Thanks Terry.

        1. Buy empty tea bags or empty one and add the Kratom, now you have a tea bag to use [email protected]

    4. Cycling through strains will help you prevent tolerance usually. Try an uppity red like thai and a downer white like Borneo and see if you can prevent the tolerance

      1. Hi! I have horrible Fibromyalgia too and have been taking Kratom for a couple years. I used to be on strong Opioids and was able to wean off of them and now use Kratom instead. I didn’t actually take Naltrexone for awhile to get off of Opioids, but stopped taking that in order to use Kratom. Kratom is great because it helps with so many of he Fibromyalgia issues-energy, depression, pain, and I think it helps my immune system too. I take White in the morning, green in the afternoon, and Red at night. If I don’t take all three I go for Red because it has the best pain relief, Green is good, too, but White is mostly energizing with less pain relief. You will figure out what works best for you. I just put a teaspoon in a half cup of juice, swirl or stir it and gulp it down. I think you will find relief with kratom without all the side effects of pain meds.

  7. Gosh y’all ladies are an inspiration. I have horrible fibromyalgia and chronic pain….I don’t get outta the bed some days. I’m new to kratom….what do you suggest and how much….I also have horrible insomnia. I take Percocet for the pain…but don’t want to be beholden to Drs

    1. I like to mix it in cinnamon applesauce. Start off with a low dose, since it can cause nausea at first, and because you will acclimate to the dose over time. 2-5g is a good starting range. I don’t react well to any stimulants, so I stick to red strains only. Red Borneo and Red Bali are good for pain in my experience.

      If you have a protein blender bottle, you can also mix it into juice. Orange juice and tomato juice worked for me, it depends on your personal tastes though. Grapefruit also enhances the effects, but it can interfere with medications you take, so be careful with it.

  8. I used kratom in gel cape(bought at vape shop) to get off oxycontin after toe amputated. Three days of about 2 grams 3 times a day. Worked great….I found the price to be a bit high(25 bucks an ounce) so now I import it myself and sell it 5 bucks an ounce. I’ve got some customers who buy it by the kilo. F the FDA.

    1. Congrats bro. I used it to get off suboxone after 3 years and about 15 of oxycontin and heroin addiction. It’s been almost a year and a half free from all opiates and all pharma’s as well because it did what no other benzo could do, stop my painc attacks. It truly saved my life so it always makes me happy to hear a story like yours. For sure you could’ve gotten kg’s for anywhere between $70-$90 in the states of high quality but it’s cool you’re having luck with importing. I started the same way, paying $60 a week for 100g’s from a local botanical shop until i finally found certain sites online that had the info I was looking for. Congrats again man!

      1. So what’s the best kind to get and wheres the best place to get it?

      2. Your post helped me a lot especially about the panic attacks they are hell I’m looking forward to those going away

    2. I’d like to talk to you. I could use some guidance

      1. Hi I would like some advice on sedittive kratom. I live in the UK that’s my problem. Where to buy good quality Kratom for my anxiety and sleep problems.

        1. I’m not where to buy in the UK. I’m in the US. I also have anxiety and sleep problems. Red and green strains work best for me. I started with Red Bali. Although I was coming off an opiate addiction at the time. It works wonders. I switch between Green Maeng Da and Green Elephant now.

    3. Hey. I would love to be ur customer let me. No I’ll send my face book email number what ever. As long as it’s. Legit

    4. Send me your info

  9. My personal recipe:
    1 tbsp Nesquick powder mix
    1/4 cup Coconut Milk
    1 tbsp of lemon juice
    Mixed with whatever your dose is. From what I read the good fatty lipids work well with the alkaloids and seems to stretch it out a bit. I started out with toss and wash and I just think it’s silly. This masks just about all the bitterness of the kratom and never seemed to hinder effects at all…

  10. Kratom has helped me enormously . I was in a motorcycle crash, spent 5 days in a coma, one month later someone crashed my car. I was a passenger. That night someone beat me and I spent another 3 days in a coma. 4 months to walk again. I discovered kratom. I can now walk without a Walker. Without it I would be related to a life of pain between wheelchair and Walker. Please stop the government from scheduling a food. Kratom is letting me rebuild my life. 65 and trying.

    1. I commend you for your tenacious spirit, hon. I had an infection in my spinal cord that got in there bc of an unsterilized surgical scalpal used during my FIRST back surgery. 3 months later I ended up in the hospital on IV antibiotics 24/7 for 8 days, had my SECOND surgery to irrigate and flush the infection out of my spinal fluid, died on the table twice, and left the hospital completelt paralyzed from the knees down and was told I’d never walk again.
      That was in 2014, and today I can walk, drive, and run short distances (I look funny doing it, though) all without assistance or prostethics. My tendons and nerves suddenly woke up and began regenerating after 14 months! I, like you, will live with pain for the rest of my life. Kratom has given me a quality of life I thought was impossible, I agree that the government needs to butt out regarding this “miracle” plant. They tell us not to self medicate with street drugs, they make getting pharmaceuticals for pain mgmt a NIGHTMARE, and now they want to F*** this up for us, too! Hang in there, if enough of us stand together, we can keep the FDA out of it! Good luck to you, and Good job on your recovery!

      1. Gosh y’all ladies are an inspiration. I have horrible fibromyalgia and chronic pain….I don’t get outta the bed some days. I’m new to kratom….what do you suggest and how much….I also have horrible insomnia. I take Percocet for the pain…but don’t want to be beholden to Drs

    2. You were the nice lady in Hamilton’s Pharmacopoeia, weren’t you?

  11. Great idea I’m gonna try that

  12. I’ve been doing toss and wash for about a year, and I’ve gotten good at it. I used to get headaches and took BC powders or Goody headache powders and the toss and wash method is a lot like taking those. I take it for insomnia and it’s a lifesaver really. Tonight I’m going to try to make a tea with a filter and see how that works for me. Someone told me if you steep a good long time ( two hours) it is very potent.

    1. Winona: Thanks for your remarks. I’ve just started steeping kratom (tea), but only for 5 to 10 minutes. A couple of years ago, when I heard the govt. was going to prohibit kratom in the US, I panicked and bought large quantities, like a pound here and there. Some of it is crap, and I’m stuck with it. I’ve learned to be careful who I buy from (which company) because there are lots of people leaving false reviews who, in fact, are scamming the customer.

  13. I use a percolator to brew my kratom and I do it by the gallon. How much grams should I use for a moderate dose for a gallon? And then how many grams for a high dose for a gallon? Thank you!

  14. I found something that works great for me. I get The applesauce in the lunch size containers. (4 oz, I believe). I put it in a plastic zip lock bag and refill the empty container with whatever kratom I am making and put it in the ziplock bag. I then add a 3 tablespoons of cinnamon (totally optional but it helps with both taste and metabolism. I’ve also been known to use other flavorings – almond, vanilla, orange, etc. extract). Into the bag it goes. Finally, I fill the container with some liquor- rum, vodka, tequila, whatever – I’ve even used frangelica or amoretto. I figure that alcohol helps preserve it, gives it a better kick, and improves the taste. After pouring that into the bag and zip it up. I can mix it simply by kneeding the bag until everything mixes into a consistency, somewhere between sludge and mud. – different kratom comes out differently). Since I rotate my kratom I do one green and one white and I am set for the week. I refrigerate it but the bags are nice because they can be carried. It doesn’t taste great but it’s not awful either. Since the mix is basically equal parts of applesauce, alcohol and kratom Ive found I can simply triple the amount I was taking in dry form by volume. (That may not work for everyone – probably a little “generous” if your dose is large). I’ve been doing it this way for about two years – it’s easy and effective.

  15. I take 4 to 5 grams of kratom tea and mix with a small glass of hot tap water. I let it sit for 5 minutes to steep. I skim off the top, which is not necessary, but I do bc I easily get indigestion. After 5 minutes I fill up the remainder of the glass of Kratom tea with pulp free OJ. Then I pour it into a larger glass filled with ice. It taste like OJ and grapefruit juice mixed. Not bad seeing as how no one drinks Kratom for the taste. 😉 Your welcome!

  16. I measure out about 7grams and dump it into a small glass of orange juice. The acid helps the alkaloids work more efficiently (grapefruit is best, but I can’t stand it). CBD oil has also been added to my daily routine. The combination of the two have easily cut my pain levels in half, if not more on some days. I go with a mix of green MD or green Malay and white thai and about 50mg of CBD oil when I wake up. By the time I’m done showering and getting ready for work, my pain level drops off and I’m more alert and don’t have any morning haze/fog. On high pain days, I swap to red thai or red bali. I’m starting to experiment with golds/yellows as they are supposed to have a really good balance. But mixing it with OJ and chugging it has worked very well for me. I also do my own capsules, but as mentioned, it takes 10 – 12 caps (00 size).

  17. Just discovered Kratom . And boy am I a happy camper. Pain level at least 90% down. Can live with that. I was told to take the powder mixed with grapefruit juice and I cannot consume grapefruit because it does not work well with other heart meds I have to take. But I bought some capsules and one to 2 of those with some orange juice is like a miracle. Am experimenting with sizes of caps and how many work the best but I feel like I have been liberated. Hope this does not fail me. Good luck to you all .

  18. I usually parachute my kratom. I take 1 square of single thickness toilet paper, if multilayer I pull them apart, put tablespoon of kratom in the middle, grab opposing corners, both ways bringing them into the middle to look like a little sachel, twist them together then put that on my tongue then take usually orange juice and take a big gulp and down goes the dose, just be careful not to take to big dose because it will get stuck, its much better to take 2 smaller doses back to back. I also have a capsule machine and fill my own capsules, filling capsules is time consuming though. Toss and wash makes me gag sometimes and then the whole dose is in the toilet.

    1. Use a spring roll wrap cut into 4s. They’re less than $3 and last a while. That way you don’t ingest toilet paper.

    2. Totally going to try this it’s kinda old school but definitely going to try so thanks

    3. Look into oblate discs on amazon. They are cheap and are a great replacement for toilet paper.

  19. I just add 4 ounces of water to powder in a cup and stir. Drink. And I get relief in minutes!

    1. Hey sweetie how much powder do I use?

      1. I would soak 2 teaspoons of kratom in a cup then pour the water over it citrus makes it work stronger

    2. Thats the same thing i do lol

  20. dont dump the sludge it still has alkaloids ..use it again!

  21. For my sister and I couple tea spoons and a large sip of coffee ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. 30 min later pain back under control and (depending on the strain) my anxiety is under control as well as her depression and low energy.

  22. I toss dry powder and wash it down with not super hot, but hot coffee. It cuts the bitter into the coffee, its over quick and it hits me fast. Kratom and morning coffee start my day.

    1. I also add miralax to my coffee because it’s tasteless, and a stool Softener like Ducolax so I don’t have plumbing issues ( literally and figuratively )

  23. I can’t imagine eating a can of peaches for every 4 hour dosing for people with chronic pain that robs them of sleep like me.
    I cap it and have been using Kratom for over 4 years now. Getting off the oxy opiods was easy because they just stopped working and I wondered if the pharmacy was swapping them out for sugar pills.
    I have to dose starting at 7pm, 11pm, 3am, 7am in what is a real battle for sleep.
    I take a powder laxative and dump logs that plug the toilet if I don’t flush half way through the drop.
    My dosing has climbed to 15 caps 000 size and washed down with lemon water, it’s like having a rock caught up half way down.
    So I swallow the caps with water and then drink some lemon water which doesn’t cause the GERD.
    Looks like I am in for a lot of trouble if I can’t find a solution for my pain.

    1. Hey there, I am in the same situation prescribed Methadone back when they still made the 40mg disk. 2004 till about 4 months ago I legally and RESPONSIBLY took my meds. I never even had to be bumped up because my Dr. and me worked as a team and found the perfect dosage for me. Not that the Food and Dead administration gives a fk. but I was on the same dose for 10 years It worked. I’m not like all the dumbed down people who claim to hate opiates and opioids. When taken by responsible people who are not scamming liers the meds work. It’s another right being taken away from true and real people. Now over 20 million people are suffering over the few who have killed themselves on it. So now I am doing this kratom journal crap and have tried 4 types. I am on my 2nd month and nothing. I did pass out once but I think it was because I cried two days straight and was extremely worn out from the pain suffering and the stress of trying to find a doctor that no longer exists. Looking at my journals the maeng da I think was the one that put me out. For a few hours. My legs were running in the bed, the pain that was nerver there before. Bali is the another I am trying to make work. But so far nothing from any. Oh 1 he pain relief from menstrual cramps. That came right back. This is not right what is happening to millions. Not a few thousand . What the gov is doing now will kill more than anyone knows. National pain association has a form on the website for people to fill out and is being used to show real statistics. On the truth of the matter.

      1. If you need methadone that bad go to a methadone clinic.

      2. Try the red bentuangie kratom it has worked well for me 1 1/2 tablespoons mixed with a few ounces of pineapple juice as the acid activates the alkaloids give it a shot the red kratom is best for trying to relieve withdrawl symptoms and is very relaxing

      3. U r right my husband was given methadone for his pain and now they treat him like a criminal and he was just doing what the Dr told him he is in the process of coming down off of it if you were on it for over ten years it could take months before you feel normal

      4. don’t assume your leg problems are due to withdrawal. It sounds like you have restless leg syndrome like I have. our narcs took care of that along with treating pain, but when the narcs are stopped, then restless legs rears its ugly head and thrashing takes over when sleep is so badly needed. Ask your doc for prescription meds for restless legs, many are getting relief. I also find that if I use a stationary bike for just a few minutes when I am thrashing, that helps settle them a bit. Some of my own patients when I was a hospital nurse told me they take added calcium such as Tums and Tylenol at bedtime as well as drinking real tonic water which has quinine in it and that helps. Work with your primary care doc on this.

        1. I buy Hyland’s Leg Cramp pills & take 2 when the RLS starts. It works for me & it doesn’t require a script.

      5. How much maeng da did you take to pass out? You were on prescibed opiates for 10 years, and then stopped taking because of the government’s frowning, and then what followed was opiate withdrawal. Your legs were “running?” That’s what we call “kicking the habit” not a reaction of kratom use. Good luck with medication management and finding a doctor who is willing to work with you.

      6. I was on methadone for 4 years then quite cold Turkey. The withdrawals lasted so long that I was suicidal. I am sorry you have to go through that. It will take alot of time before you can feel the effects of kratom due to the fact that methadone takes so long to leave the body. I finally was able to sleep more than 4 hours a night at about 8 months of quitting dones. The kratom will help ease symptoms but will not take them away all together until the methadone is completely gone (I have heard methadone is stored in our bone marrow).

    2. The best way to toss and wash is to take a big sip of your drink of choice (I use apple cider) hold the liquid on your tongue, dump your powder into your mouth and allow the liquid to guide the kratom down your throat…

      Dumping powder into a dry mouth and then adding the liquid afterwards is sheer madness, you’re almost certain to gag and get powder stuck in your throat. You will not even taste the kratom if you just add the liquid first, then the powder.

      This method works best when using a maximum of 1 teaspoon at a time. You may even want to begin with 1/2 teaspoon at first then work your way up.

      Have fun!

      1. Yes I agree with your method toss and wash . It took me a while to get it right. I use water mostly but any drink works, not hot, but even room temp. then there is no taste of the powder. I stopped the oxys in January, actually my Dr stopped them, and found out about kratom in April. It helps me so much. I like the green powder the best..for awhile I had green, red and white. White made me feel like I had way too much caffeine. I tried them all and still buy the green. I also had either a small glass of orange juice or the Arizona herb tonic energy tea and drank very quickly. Also instead of stirring use a shaker cup, it mixes very well. Good luck everyone !

    3. Coconut capsules help tremendously with constipation. Start with one then work up to two depending on how your body reacts. With this method you get relief and the benefits or coconut oil.

  24. Mixing kratom with food will definitely reduce the efficacy of kratom. The onset will be nearly twice as long and it will take about %30-%50 more for the same effects. Please fix this in the article

  25. You can always make a gel capsule out of kratom. Thats one of the the best choice for you.

  26. Hi! Why don’t you put kratom into gel capsules, available at health food stores? Just wondering why this isn’t mentioned as a form of ingesting?

    1. Anne, the amount of powdered kratom needed to fill enough capsules is rather high. It would likely be a lot of pills to fill and swallow, so it has never been a preferred method.

      1. Anne: I filled capsules for years with a capsule-filling machine I bought on Amazon and capsules from, which are very cheap. Nonetheless, it’s tedious filling all those capsules and so now, after years of filling capsules, I’m steeping Kratom tea. I’ve just started and am figuring out the amount to use. Also, some people say to toss the “sludge” at the bottom of the cup away and others say to drink that. Does anyone have anything more to add to that?

        1. How much would be in one 00 capsule?

  27. I have been using Opioids for years because of a severe lower back injury. every three days I would not take them and allow my body to recover this minimized the addiction. then I started using Kratom. Three teaspoons a day work as well as four 7.5mg of codeine but they both cause constipation and I found a solution for Kratom (less effective for Codeine).

    !5 minutes are so before taking Kratom eat a can of peaches, I like ones either packed in natural juices or water. The end effect is you will maintain regular bowel movements using this method. Wait a few hours before eating a heavy meal.

    1. Magnesium supplements tend to work really well to combat constipation.

Sun Belt or Rust Belt? Democrats search for path to power

Johnny Isakson

DENVER (AP) — As Democrats try to win control of the White House and the Senate in 2020, they face a geographical puzzle — the path to the presidency may conflict with the one to a Senate majority.

Democrats’ best shot at the White House is to win back their old turf — the Rust Belt states heavy with working-class white voters who have become increasingly difficult to hold in the party’s tent. But the path to winning the Senate travels through what many believe is the Democrats’ territory of the future. College-educated suburbanites, young people and minorities make up the winning coalition in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and North Carolina, the states where Democrats will need to pick up seats to wrest control of the Senate from the GOP.

The tensions between the two contests — the two paths to two different victories — highlight the geographic concerns that have long bedeviled Democrats. The party has successfully built support in the growing West and Sun Belt states, but not yet enough to put the fight over the Rust Belt in the rearview mirror.

“They’re kind of stuck between their past and their future,” said William Frey, a demographer at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. “It’s an interesting conundrum.”

For Democrats wrestling with picking their nominee, it’s more than just a head-scratcher. Senate races and presidential races are linked — Senate candidates rarely win when their party’s presidential candidate loses their state. If the party wants to win the White House and the Senate, its best hope of rolling back Republican gains under President Donald Trump, it will need to select a candidate who can win in both types of places.

“No question the Sun Belt will be central to the Democratic Party’s success in 2020, far more than perhaps we understood even a few weeks ago,” said Simon Rosenberg of NDN, a Democratic think tank that has long argued that demographics would help make the Sun Belt more hospitable for the party. “Winning in places like Arizona, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina is going to require us to stretch and reach and field a ticket that can win in these tough states, not just the traditional battlegrounds in the Rust Belt.”

Although the dynamics of the presidential campaign are far from settled more than a year before Election Day, both parties are preparing to bear down on Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, states that enabled Trump to win the White House while losing the popular vote in 2016. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was castigated for taking her eye off those states in the waning days of the 2016 contest and instead trying to rack up a bigger electoral victory by investing in Arizona and Georgia.

As a symbol of the importance of the Rust Belt troika this time around, the Democratic Party designated Milwaukee as the location of its convention next year where its nominee will be crowned. Front-runner Joe Biden launched his campaign in his birth state of Pennsylvania and based his campaign in Philadelphia, while other contenders from Sen. Bernie Sanders to Sen. Amy Klobuchar tout their ability to connect with Midwestern voters.

But those places aren’t essential to Democrats’ push to win control of the Senate.

Democrats must net at least three Senate seats to eke out a 50-50 tie should they win the White House. They’re also bracing for a possible loss in Alabama, where Democrat Doug Jones won a 2017 special election that will be hard to replicate in a presidential year.

Democrats are eyeing several GOP-held seats in return. The two most vulnerable are in states Clinton won in 2016 — Colorado and Maine. After that, Democrats will have to bolster their numbers in Trump states. Although some hope to snag a seat in Iowa or even Kansas, the biggest trove of Senate seats lies where Democrats have been performing better in recent years like Arizona, North Carolina or Texas. Georgia became an especially big prize last week when Sen. Johnny Isakson announced he was retiring for health reasons, creating a second 2020 Senate election in the state along with Sen. David Perdue’s reelection bid.

For years, Democrats have eyed these states as potentially friendly turf because of their demographic changes. But the timeline has been longer than some hoped, and high-profile losses in Georgia and Texas in 2018 were a reminder that the states remain difficult for the party.

The differences between the old and new battlegrounds are stark. The three Rust Belt states at the center of the presidential campaign are 76% white, according to U.S. Census data. Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas combined are only 49% white. Faster growing, they’ve attracted younger, and better educated, migrants from other parts of the country and enjoy booming economies, while the Rust Belt states are managing aging populations and declining industrial towns.

But, historically, whites in those growing Sun Belt states were far more likely to vote Republican than in the Rust Belt — a dynamic that offset their larger minority population and has kept them solidly in the GOP column. Despite incremental successes in the Sun Belt, Democrats still did far better in the Rust Belt states last year, dominating statewide elections in Pennsylvania and Michigan and narrowly winning top ones in Wisconsin.

“The easier path is going for the Rust Belt first,” Frey said. “It’s a unique candidate that could take both.”

For example, Michigan Democrats rode to success partly on the pledge of their gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer to repair the state’s perennially battered roads, an issue that would not resonate in the gleaming suburbs of Atlanta or Phoenix. Trade battles have ravaged Midwestern farmers but barely ruffled suburban Sun Belt professionals.

Still, the differences between these states may be eroding, notes Stephanie Valencia, a Washington, D.C.-based Democratic strategist. The Rust Belt states include fast-growing Hispanic populations. Support from Latino voters could both determine a close presidential race in Wisconsin and help Democrats win a Senate seat in Arizona.

“We need to be talking to voters everywhere, and doing so that racks up points on the margin,” Valencia said. “There is a disproportionate amount of energy being focused on the Midwest and that part of the country, but I think people are realizing there are different iterations of the map.”

One lesson from 2016, she added, is that Democrats can’t put all their electoral eggs in one basket.

Businesses ‘sitting ducks’ for lawsuits because websites aren’t ADA compliant

The disabled plaintiffs call themselves activists working to improve society for the disabled, one lawsuit at a time.

Critics call it “legal extortion,” now targeting small business owners who feel they are “sitting ducks” for ADA lawsuits regarding their websites that are not accessible to some with disabilities.

Last year, there were 2,285 ADA website lawsuits filed in federal courts across the nation, an increase of a 181 percent from 2017, according to website accessibility company UsableNet. The majority of lawsuits originate in Florida and New York.

“The attorneys are telling us, ‘You can’t fight this. There’s nothing you can do, just write them a check,'” said Ben Tundis, owner of Island Comfort Footwear in the Westfield Countryside Mall in Clearwater.

Tundis is one of 175 business owners sued by Emily Fuller, of Broward County, a visually-impaired woman holding businesses accountable if they have websites that are not ADA compliant. Fuller, in her lawsuit filed Jan. 4, claims that she was not able to use the recently launched website of Tundis’ shoe store.

Fuller uses a screenreader to use the Internet and claims the shoe store’s website lacked coding that would communicate with her software. This excluded her from shopping on the website, which is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to the lawsuit.

Lawsuits like this one are being filed by the stackful, typically by one plaintiff working with a handful of lawyers who are gaining notoriety for these types of cases.

South Florida attorneys Pelayo Duran and Roderick Hannah represent Fuller. Duran tells 8 On Your Side’s Better Call Behnken that clients like Fuller are providing a needed service for society to insure that websites are ADA compliant and accessible to all.

“It’s a very good thing for society that plaintiffs like Ms. Fuller are providing,” Duran said. “I want to make sure you understand that it’s not about attacking small businesses.”

Fuller has gone after big names, such as Sephora, Helzberg Diamonds, The Home Depot and Chick-fil-A, claiming their websites are not ADA compliant. Some of her recent cases are against the Clearwater shoe store, an active wear boutique in Orlando called Sassy Pants and Tampa Sportservice Inc, the company that runs a store that sells Tampa Bay Lightning apparel inside Amalie Arena.

In most cases, private businesses can’t be sued for damages, under the ADA, says Anastasia Protopapadakis, an ADA defense attorney with the Miami firm Gray-Robinson. Businesses are sued for attorney fees and compliance. Businesses who agree to settlements or lose their cases must pay attorney fees and agree to become ADA compliant within a set amount of time, she said.

Some legal experts, and even some advocates for the disabled, say plaintiff lawyers are taking advantage of businesses that don’t realize they are doing anything wrong. Instead of reaching out to the businesses and asking for compliance, they sue.

Protopapadakis calls these lawsuits, “corporate extortion” and urges business owners to take a serious look at their websites and make sure that a person with visual or hearing disabilities can use their site.

She said most businesses faced with this type of lawsuit settle the case for attorney fees and compliance. That’s because that is cheaper than litigation.

Experts say these lawsuits are typically settled for between a couple of thousand dollars and $20,000, but could cost much more if defendants chose to fight in court.

“Any case appealed to the 11th Circuit has not gone the defendants’ way,” Protopapadakis said.

Protopapadakis said while plaintiffs don’t receive money for damages, some do receive money in exchange for keeping settlement details confidential.

Further frustrating businesses, there are no federal regulations to give businesses a check list of what they must do to make their websites ADA accessible. The ADA was established in 1990, before websites like we have today. One thing is clear, though, courts have ruled that most websites must be accessible under the ADA.

While there are no clear regulations pertaining to websites in the ADA, courts have recognized web accessibility standards called Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG), created by an international consortium of volunteers.

Some of the requirements:

  • Content must be coded for audio translation by screen-reader software.
  • There must be on-screen captions in videos for screen-reader software to read to the blind and descriptions for the deaf.
  • Sites must include accessible drop-down menus for those who use a keyboard as an alternative to a mouse.

These are requirements that every website should have under the ADA, said Chris Danielsen, of the National Federation of the Blind.

Danielsen, who is blind, said he uses screen-reader software every day to access the Internet and runs into problems on a regular basis because websites lack the appropriate coding.

However, he said mass lawsuits, especially those filed by one plaintiff with an attorney, concern him. He said negotiation and education should come first. He also feels that settlements should not be confidential, so the public knows the terms and knows the plan for accessibility for each site.

“Rather than spraying businesses with a firehose of litigation, a much more thoughtful and transparent approach would be a better form of advocacy,” Danielsen said.

Danielsen recommends business owners make sure their website developers know how to make your website compatible. There are several companies that specialize in website compatibility. The National Federation of the Blind has resources on its website to help businesses. Locally, the Lighthouse for the Blind can review websites and offer guidance.

So, who must be accessible? That depends on where the business is located. In the 11th Judicial Circuit, which includes Florida, websites that are connected to a physical store must be accessible to those who are visually and hearing impaired.

Accessibility can get costly, depending on what type of website you have, and whether you do it when you first develop the website or later, said Teresa Huber, president of Get ADA Accessible, which focuses on website accessibility.

She said a simple, 10-page website would cost about $1,600 for a firm like hers to audit and identify accessibility issues. The cost of fixing the website would depend on deficiencies, she said.

One small business recently sued by Emily Fuller is Sassy Pants Active Wear Boutique in Orlando. Owner Donna Anthony says she hasn’t been served the lawsuit yet, but she is concerned.

“I never in my wildest dreams thought a website would have to have accommodations,” Anthony said. “My builder knew about ADA compliance for my physical location. My web developer did not.”

needles 01

Well, that was a short break! – I just can’t stay away from blogging, it seems.

Not much has happend since you last heard from me. But I went shopping for needles, and I thought I’d show you what is inside my needle case these days.

The image above shows them all lined up. Not all are in frequent use, but most are. On the top are harness needles, followed by bookbinding needles. (I am going to talk more about them in a minute).The lowest row contains needles I hardly ever use: Those with the yellow eyes are embroidery needles some with sharp, some with blunt tips, an upholstery needle, -The curved needle on top is also an upholstery needle-, and to the right is a leather sewing needle which a triangular shaped tip with three cutting edges along the shaft.

Needles differ in their shape (curved or straight or something in between), in their thickness, length and the shape of the eye, and the shape of the tip.

These are the needles I mostly use:
needles 02

Up until recently I used almost exclusively John James bookbinding needles, just because they were the ones I got hold of and they sounded like the right thing to use. Bookbinding needles are made to punch through paper. The idea is that the bookbinder marks the position of the sewing stations on the outside of the signature and then looking with one eye on the outside, one one the inside, you can actually train yourself to “see” the mark on the inside. It requires some training to be done at sufficient precision and works best when the edges are trimmed afterwards. I learned to pre-punch my signatures later which gives (me) much more precise and desirable results. Pre-punching on the other hand takes more time, which is probably what makes is less desirable for a commercial bookbinder. Well, be that as it may, this is why bookbinding needles have a sharp tip.

Harness needles are made to sew leather in conjunction with a sewing awl. The awl punches the hole through the leather, and the needle passes the thread. Therefore the needle itself doesn’t have to be sharp, and harness needles have a blunt tip. This kind of sewing technique is employed with heavier leather, and pretty much the same size of thread is being used as for bookbinding.

Therefore, using harness needles for bookbinding can be a good idea: If you pre-punch your signatures anyway, there is no need for a sharp needle. On the contrary, a blunt tip helps prevent accidental holes into the paper.

I have been using John James needles since I first started out with bookbinding, some 12 years ago or so. And not a single one broke so far. I am not especially careful with needles, and I use(d) them also for stitching on leather. I read about other binder’s needles breaking and bending frequently, and wondered what I did differently. Mostly I though they were just binding more. But I do use them up. They do bend a little over time and when they are not completely straight I find them irksome to use. Also I am loosing them frequently.
Just last week I noticed I was down to 6 needles or so, so it was time to buy a new packet. I found a seller on ebay who claimed to sell John James, but not in original packaging (“because I buy in bulk and sell them on in smaller batches”). I had no problem with that – it was not even as if I had been looking for John James specifically. But when they reached me, they were smaller and thinner. And when I asked him directly, he admitted they are not original John James, because he was able to secure those cheaper ones. Aha. It turns out they are bent after first usage. So now I have discovered that it does pay to invest in quality when it comes to sewing needles, and at the same time, understood that I am not doing anything different from other binders – I just happened to have good needles.

I found someone who does sell the original John James in the meantime. While searching for them, I found vendors who carry John James harness needles, and I thought I’d give them a try, too. After reading a bit, I decided 1/0 was the size to try. I bought “John James size 1 harness needles”, which turned out, when they reached me, to be size 002. The vendor claimed 001, 002, and 003 were all the same size, and “size 1” always meant 001, or 002, or 003. Probably my mistake, but who came up with numbers 001 and 1/0 being used at the same time for almost the same needle?! In any case it was a lucky mistake: I love them! Numbers 1/0 and 2/0 which I also acquired are longer and thicker. All will have their use I guess. I was surprised and pleast that the small 002 needle holds NeL 18/3 thread with ease, better than the No. 18 bookbinding needles.
At the moment I am using the harness needles not for bookbinding but for sewing leather just like they are meant to. And it makes such a big difference! Up until now I have been using bookbinding needles for all leather sewing. That works well enough, but using the harness needles is much more comfortable!

Limp Leather Binding Kit
This is the kind of leather sewing I am currently making. – This one was still done with a bookbinder’s needle, though.

For some binding styles, straight needles won’t do, for example when incorporating a concertina into a Coptic binding. Some people prefer curved needles for all Coptic sewing. There are special curved bookbinding needles available, and I only used them once when attending a workshop where the teacher provided them. In the picture below you will see a curved upholstery needle which I never used for bookbinding; I just put it there for comparisson. I find the curved needles hard to use, they tend to twist and turn in my fingers while I try to use them. Early on I bent some needles to use them for this kind of job:
needles 04

These are the exact same needles I bent in 2008 for the first time. (Just to mention again that good needles last for a long time and are worth the extra penny.) It is really easy to do. You just need two pairs of tongs and a flame, for example from a gas lighter. Heat a point about 1/3 the length of the needle from the tip, and when it is glowing red bend the tip over to about or a little less than 45 degrees. It will cool down really quickly and is then ready to use.
needles 03

In the photo above you see an assortment of other needles. I bought the embroidery needles when I needed larger eyes for lacing in for a custom work about one and a half years ago (the last work I did in Germany), needed them immediately (no time to wait for a delivery to arrive), and the only needles I could find in a brick and mortar shop nearby were these. They served me well. I particularly like the ones with the blunt tip. I wouldn’t recommend them for sewing pages, though, since they slightly blulge at the eye and therefore make bigger holes in the paper than necessary – which is bad for long-term (or even mid-term) stability and doesn’t look nice when doing a visible spine binding.

The two needles in the middle, with the larger eyes are upholstery needles. They, too, have seen some use for lacing in, especially the larger one because it has such a nice long eye. – But they are unsuitable for sewing paper.
Further to the right is a leather sewing needle. I find it very interesting, unfortunately this is the only one in a set that I have left. I had a whole collection of these from very thin ones to this big version. They all have a triangular crosssection with sharp edges that can cut through leather – and therefore also through the skin of your fingers, so be careful! But they definitely were something special and had their use when sewing thinner leather. It was possible to sew it without prepunching with these needles. I will have to look for more of those in the future!

I hope that raised some interest in going to look around for more needles. Happy needle hunting!

  1. I have used #2 crewel needles in place of bookbinder needles. I lightly sand the tip to take off the sharp end, and always pre-punch my signatures. Just make sure you never purchase needles made in China! The ones made in Europe are the best and last. I, too, use the bent needle for Coptic binding and was introduced to this in a Daniel Essig workshop and have used them ever since. I agree with you that the curved needle just rotates in my hand, so don’t use it.

    Thank you for your postings, they are always informative and a joy to read.

    1. Hello,
      your name sounds familiar. Have we met on the book arts forum, maybe? In any case, thanks for your comment. I read about others using a “crewel needle”, before. I do not really know the word, and my dictionary doesn’t know it either. but from what wikipedia says I assume it is just a different word for an embroidery needle? They differ from a bookbinding (and harness) needle in that the shaft of the latter is completely straight, does not get wider and is also not wider at the eye. Choose a needle as slim as possible, and you will end with holes in the signatures that are not wider than the thread that passes through. I think that since embroidery needles are readily available it is a good needle to start with. Have you tried a bookbinding needle? Maybe you should, just to see the difference. Putting on the thread might be a little difficult in comparison, but working with the needle and thread should be easier and more convenient.

  2. Hello,
    The #2 crewel needle is slightly thinner, and not as heavy gauge as a standard bookbinding needle. It also has a larger eye. The shaft is straight with the eye being the same size as the shaft. The larger eye makes it easier to thread waxed linen. I have taught a number of beginning bookbinding classes (mostly book arts, rather than traditional bookbinding) and I always have a large supply to give to the students for their use. For starting out, bookbinding supplies are not readily available except through mail order and this is a good substitute until someone really wants to get “professional” with their bookbinding. I have genuine bookbinding needles, but I really prefer my crewel ones.

    Crewel embroider is done with wool thread, rather than thin embroidery threads, and that is why they are heavier and larger than regular embroidery needles.

    My name may be familiar to you in that I have posted a few times on the Book Arts Forum over the years. I’m sorry this forum has not kept as active as it was a number of years ago. I still go there to check for postings, but they are few and far between.

    Thank you again for your postings.

    For the love of books,

  3. So small is the book arts world. D. Guffey is a local friend and a founding member of the book arts guild where we live. She is also the person from whom I first learned about making bent needles.

    This is a wonderful post, Hilke. Very informative. I’d never heard of harness needles… lots to think about! Thanks for all this. Maybe some new needles will be just the thing to go with my beautiful new threads…

    And I’m very happy to see you are able to upload photos now! I hope this means you’ve managed to fix your blog after the evil upgrade. I’m so glad to see you’ve returned.

    1. I uploaded the photos to ipernity. I have not even tried to upload them to my server through wordpress. – I don’t want to spend my limited time on trying to fix software that is supposed to just work.

      Glad you liked the post!

Although my primary reason for seeking out this DAW was multi-touch support and ability to construct custom virtual MIDI controller, so I wouldn't need additional MIDI hardware for my touch-capable laptop (which you totally can do), it turned out that Usine Hollyhock covers my needs and way beyond that. It's a fully modular DAW with all sorts of signals to process: multi-channel audio, midi, video, DMX light, serial port, text, various external hardware sensors - you name it. And unlike max/msp or even Reaktor, it's quite easy to get in and patch what you want. lots of modules that take care of some more complex stuff you might stumble upon - like quantizers for data, triggers or whole MIDI messages, and you can make 'templates' of your own by saving sub-patches. If you can code - even better, you can use script engine to do stuff that may be more efficient to do with one script module, than a whole sub-patch.

Looking forward, in upcoming version 4 features like UI modular patching will be available, which enables VCV-rack like experience, but you can actually make your own modules in convenient way or edit existing ones, all without coding skills necessary. There's also VST Brigde that will enable perfect syncing to other DAW and passing MIDI and audio channels between them.

This is overall a very powerful and affordable DAW with great support. Recommended to anyone looking into modular environments.

Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton in Loving

Kathleen Posted by Kathleen at November 4, 2016 14:41:31 November 4, 2016 14:41:31

1967. It wasn’t that long ago. Our parents were alive. Your grandparents could have been going to the movies to see Sidney Poitier and dancing to Elvis, stars that are still relevant today. 1967 was the year Richard and Mildred Loving were finally told that their love – specifically their marriage – wasn’t a crime. Loving is their story and it opens today.

The story picks up in 1958 in Virginia where Richard (Joel Edgerton) sweetly proposes to his pregnant girlfriend Mildred (Ruth Negga). They drive to D.C. to get married and when they return to Virginia, they are ripped from their bed in the middle of the night and arrested. In lieu of jail time, the Lovings are forced to leave the state. Then the story takes us to three kids and almost a decade later, to the Supreme Court ruling on nation-wide anti-miscegenation laws in 1967.

In 1967, my mother was a teenager in Jamaica, born of an interracial marriage. When Lainey wrote about the trailer for Loving in July, she noted that we each have our own personal lens through which we view and connect to stories. I saw Loving with my sister-in-law. She's Korean. Her marriage to my brother would have been illegal. My relationship would have been “no good” in Virginia. My personal connection to this story took my crying problem to an all-time high.

Ruth Negga did not help my crying problem. Goddamn, she is incredible. This is truly Ruth Negga’s movie. It was Mildred who convinced her husband to take their case to the Supreme Court. It’s Mildred who stands firm when Richard wants to back away from the spotlight. It’s Mildred who understands, as a black woman, what their case could mean for America’s future. It’s Mildred who breaks your heart with every worried glance she throws in her husband’s direction. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at Ruth Negga again without crying. She is THAT good. Put her name on the Oscar ballot. I don’t care if it’s only November.
Edgerton’s portrayal of Richard Loving is also devastating. It’s a nuanced look at what masculinity meant in the 60s. In Loving, Richard is a man of few words but his commitment to his family doesn’t need to be said out loud. A scene where he breaks down while promising to “take care” of his wife will destroy you.

In the hands of another writer/ director, the film may have focused on the fumbling, inexperienced lawyer, played by Nick Kroll, It may have been all about rich white men in suits yelling about the fate of the less privileged, like so many films before it. Instead, Loving rarely shows the courtroom and those lawyers are relegated to a few scenes. Instead, Loving, at its core, is a sweeping, gorgeous love story. It’s not shout-y or preachy. Despite their ridiculously unfair situation, Richard isn’t throwing his fists into walls and Mildred isn’t launching into melodramatic monologues. Their anger brews. It festers. We watch it grow over the years. We see it simmer but never boil over. And that is what some critics are saying is the film’s only flaw. Variety called it “too damn polite.” There were times where I wanted to yell and scream for the Lovings because they weren’t doing it for themselves. My sister-in-law wondered after the movie if Jeff Nichols actively chose not to show any violence. I hadn’t really noticed but it’s true - the movie’s one true villain is the county sheriff and he’s mean, sure, and he’s a racist, definitely, but it’s only the threat of physical violence that ever shows up. Other films have been critiqued for downplaying the ruthless, inhumane assault black Americans faced during that era (ahem, The Help) so I understand the critique but on the other hand, maybe we’re just so used to seeing black bodies brutalized on and off screen that a film dealing with race in the South in the 50s and 60s seems “too damn polite” without the brutality. Sometimes, racism can be more powerful when it is subtle. Sometimes it manifests in looks and legislation as well as beatings and bruises. For the Lovings, they had to live in constant fear, not knowing if they would get to live freely amongst their friends and family ever again. Isn’t that brutal? And besides, getting exiled from your home state isn’t exactly subtle. In Loving, Richard and Mildred don’t shout or kick or scream but they fight “the little battles,” as Mildred calls them, in their own restrained and dignified way.

Leading up to its release, Loving’s Twitter page was tweeting support for the film with the hashatag #MakeLoveLouder. That hashtag is used to stump for the right to love equally, something that is still necessary in 2016. It's easy to look back on 1967 and be appalled that anyone thought it was OK to revoke someone's right to marry outside of their race but have we really come that far? Sure, the laws have changed but an article just last month in Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail revealed that Canadians still aren't that accepting of interracial relationships. I was insulted on Twitter recently for having a white partner while writing about race, like my partner's whiteness somehow makes me any less black. We've come a long way since Richard and Mildred's quiet love's deafening influence but how far away are we from a time when seeing an interracial couple together doesn't spark a conversation-- or even a second glance?

Date Installed:

July 2007

Art Located at:

Commissioned by:

the family and friends of Alfred Medica

Peter Hessemer

Artist Biography:

Hessemer, a Lake Forest resident and Professor of Art at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, is an award-winning sculptor and ceramicist. The outdoor piece crafted for the Medica family was the first sculpture Hessemer designed for a public space.

A regular at the Library himself, Hessemer was delighted to be asked to create a piece as an outdoor memorial to Medica. Though he and the man he honored through his art did not know each other, a shared love of books has forever connected the two Lake Foresters. Hessemer explained that the untitled piece, though abstract, "does relate to the idea of two people … It's like two people existing in one space."

Art Description:

This ceramic sculpture, created by local artist Peter Hessemer, is a gift from family and friends in memory of Alfred Medica, a frequent visitor to the Library and avid reader of history. The 40-inch black abstract sculpture is located near the Library's front entrance. The work of art was installed in July 2007 and dedicated the following November.

Morning Comments February 7, 2019

Img 9435

Opening Calls:

Corn steady to 1 lower

Soybeans 1 to 3 lower

Good morning!

Grains trading slightly lower this morning after a quiet day yesterday. The trade is patiently waiting for the USDA report tomorrow and export data. Price ranges have been fairly narrow the past several days and trade volumes in Chicago have been light. South American forecasts remain beneficial as the dry areas remain without precipitation. Senior trade officials from both the U.S. and China will meet in Beijing next week to discuss trade further. The market will be watching for headlines regarding this as well. Aside from that, news remains light as everyone is on the edge of their seat for this USDA data.

Average estimates for the report has U.S. production decreased for both corn and beans…but the question is will this be enough to offset our huge ending stock numbers? We will see….

As always, ahead of a major report day, we encourage you to get your offers in. many times, we see a spike in prices in the first 10-15 minutes of trade after the release, and then, as more of the data is analyzed, we see the prices fade back somewhat. We’re no saying that will necessarily happen tomorrow, but it’s always good to have an offer working at a level you want to get sold, whether that is Old Crop or New Crop.

  1. Strange. It appears to just be stationed. Hard to tell what it is because it doesn't move and you cant see a definitive shape…

  2. I was in Barcelona and I saw it too… was stationary….then move a little bit to the north…then it disappeared….it looked that it left some smoke….<br />

Long Island Divorce & Family Law Firm Established in 1976

Do I Give Up Any Rights by Choosing Mediation?

Authored by: Jordan E. Trager, Esq.

Usually during the course of the mediation process the parties come to an understanding with the mediator as to their wishes regarding their children and their finances. The mediator can provide some general legal information during the mediation process. However, the primary role of the mediator is to facilitate an agreement between the parties, not to give legal advice to either of the participants or to advise them of their legal “rights”. This is true even when the mediator is an attorney. For example, the mediator generally will not answer the question “What do you think I ought to do?”

Once the participants have reached a tentative agreement, each of them is encouraged by the mediator to have a separate attorney review their agreement before signing it, to ensure that his or her legal rights are adequately protected, in accordance with their wishes. The obvious benefit of having a separate attorney review the agreement at the end of the mediation process is that it ensures that the participants are provided legal advice on their rights before they sign the agreement.

If either review attorney has comments about the agreement, he or she may contact the mediator to request changes. However, if either review attorney requests a substantial change to the agreement, then the participants will be referred back to the mediation process where further negotiations can take place before an agreement is finalized. Thus, by having a separate review attorney at the end of the mediation process, the legal rights of the participants, and the sanctity of the agreement, are sufficiently protected.
