Post subject: help sought
On the 27th. March 2011 I will be starting the 21 day process.
I am looking for a clear giver. a gentle soul who has been through the process and would be able to guide me.
I have a wonderful care giver already
I was hoping to get dr Michael Werner to agree to help but I have been unable to contact him
I am looking at breatharianism for spiritual and emotional freedom. I have an educated understanding of it all and expect a joyful transition.
if you can help in any way please do get in touch.

Hey myke,
You seems to be very decided to do the 21 days process.
But be careful. You said "guide me". As said in Jasmuheen's book (Living on Light), if you feel that you need to be guided, maybe you are not prepared to undergone the 21 days process.
It's a process of surrender and trust in your Higher Self and in Divine Intelligence. You must be completely sure that it's what you want and you must be completely sure that you know what you will do. I say that because during this process and after that, your life will be completely changed (extreme sensibility, social exclusion, maybe a thinner body).

Emotional Freedom ?
What do you mean by that ?
After the process you will be much more sensible, so maybe you will get the opposite that you desire. And if you can't control low vibrations like anger, stress, anxiety and others, you won't be able to keep your vibration in the same level of the light (prana) and then you won't be able to be sustained by it. High vibration attracts a high flux of prana. Breatharianism is not an automatic state of being. It doesn't guarantee that you will be always in high vibration. YOU must guarantee that you are in a high vibration to manage to live on light. When you are in a high vibration, you receive prana and you are nourished, but if your vibration drops, your flux of prana drops too and you become thinner because of the lack of energy and nutrients that the body needs (the flux is not enough intense).
I don't intend to be aggressive in any part of this post. Sorry if I seem to say anything aggressively. I'm just saying what I really consider very important to have in mind.
I never went through the 21 days process, but I will when I feel that I'm really prepared. I tried, but after 3 days without water (first week) I stopped, because I was so thin (lost 7 kg in 3 days). Anyway it was a great experience.
My mistake was to not be completely prepared. The 21 days process is a very radical conversion process, so, to manage to do this 21 days process someone must be prepared in all levels as said in Jasmuheen's book
Living on Light
(physical, emotional, mental and spiritual). So to be prepared, here are the basic requirements in my oppinion:
1) Physical preparation:
Doing enough exercise to have a strong body to sustain the prana flux through the body. In addition, the cleaner is the body (toxins), easier will be to pass through the detox phase. Empty the bowels would help a lot.
2) Emotional preparation:
Being as much free as possible from emotional attachment to food.
3) Mental preparation:
Really believe that the body can be nourished by light (or prana) and read everything related to that. The books that I recommend are:
Living on Light
Life from Light
(Michael Werner & Thomas Stöckli)
Life Style Without Food
(Joachim M Werdin)
Man?s Higher Consciousness
(Hilton Hotema)
4) Spiritual preparation:
Having a feeling that it?s really what you want to do and feel that when you think about that, your soul smile.
Living on light is not just stopping eating. It?s an spiritual path. It?s a state of being. It?s substitute the food as a source of nutrition by light (or prana). So certify yourself that you know how to get the prana that will nourish you. Methods to receive prana: Meditation, conscious breathing (pranayama), sungazing. Visualization and affirmations also help a lot. Don?t forget that if you stop eating and can not have your nutrition from other source, you may become thinner and thinner. So you need to guarantee that you are prepared in all levels and believe that the light will really nourish you and have some affirmations like:
?I AM unlimited. I AM the perfect manifestation of the omnipotent power, lovely, divine and infinitely benevolent of the universe that feeds me, nourishes me, heals me in all levels, regardless of whether I eat or not?
Never forget to listen and respect your body. It talks to you all the time.
The best tip I can give you is: During the process, if you feel that you won't manage to do the conversion this time, stop the process and prepare yourself during some months to try again later. You must know when you can continue or when it's better to give up this time and try again later when you are better prepared.
But if you are well prepared in all levels, I guess you will have the better experience of your life...
If you can, please share with us your daily experiences during the process. But as I never did the entire process, I can't help you during the 21 days process...

Post subject: Power of IAM
this may sound rude to you, but so called 'truth' often is like that.
When some body asks me if they can become an inediate or breatharian, I almost always answer the same -- no.
If they were ready to adjust the body to perfect functioning without inserting any substance (food) inside it, they would have not asked anybody.
In other words, when you KNOW that you have the WILL the POWER or (whatever you call it) to realize the change in the life of you material body, you just make the simple conscious decision and realize it.
The whole process is that simple. And you need no help, nobody's advice etc, because you just KNOW it, and you FEEL clearly that you are the creator of your universe.
As long as you don't know and you are looking for help from other beings, seeking advices etc. you cannot. And the 21 day process or whatever process will give you some experience, will give you knowledge but will not realize what is your uncovered power of creating life.

My dear Riklff,
thank you so much for your wonderful, considered and helpful reply.
Perhaps "Guide me" was the wrong word, In my heart i know i will need little help but have decided to follow advice from Charmaine Harley and have a clear giver on hand to answer any questions that arise and may be troublesome to those who do not have the experience of the process. I have fully understood your concern and agree that without a 100% certainty in my soul then this process would be impossible.
By emotional freedom (I am an emotional therapist) I believe the transition will place me in a plane of higher consciousness where the wordly winds will have less effect upon me...and indeed as you so rightly say, must be kept in their place less the pranic nourishment fails.
I am grateful for you guidance, and will read the two books you recommend that i have not alreafy read.
Without a doubt, if there is no joy in the transition then I feel that i will have chosen the wrong time.
this is not a "Bungee jump" but the culmination of four years of meditation and de tox, including living in a monastery.
Again thank you SO much for your wonderful reply, and i will certainly keep you posted on my progress, although not during the first week as that is for total solitude and reflection.

My dear JMW,
Thank you too, so much for taking the trouble to reply.
I have devoted most of my life to seeking the truth, over the last four years in an intensive way.
When i stumbled accross Inedia it made my heart sing...but my analytical and scientific brain forced me to gain more information.
Everyone is different in how they assimilate truisms, even if faced by the irrefutable truth of inner certainty...In my heart i really do feel i need no-one at all and have long realised that i am the creator of mykes universe...but i also enjoy the love that others are able to give me.
In moving from darkness into light the aid of one who is in the light is invaluable (but not always necessary, I agree) when the student is ready the teacher will appear, that remains my philosophy.
The strength of your words are very valuable, i do not know you, but have a great respect for your opinion.
Thank you

Great. So you really understand what I was talking about.

I believe that living on light will be a great experience and it will help you a lot as an Emotional Therapist because of the extreme sensitivity. Of course it has two sides. Extreme sensitiveness in general is connected to extreme fragility and susceptibility.

It's 100% correct. Anyway, during the process, if you discover that it's not the right time, the experience of trying was worth by itself. Of course that it's mandatory that someone who decide to do this to be completely aware about what he is doing and when it's time to give up if discovered that it's not the right time.
myke wrote:

So you seems to be the type of person who will be successful in this journey. Don't forget to always ask for help to your inner guidance (protection, remove of blockages, orientation during the process, insights and so on). It's a process of surrender and trust, but never ignore your body messages.
myke wrote:

When I read these words I felt that you know what this process require.
Watching Jasmuheen videos in Youtube will help also:
Here you have a fantastic video about meditation:
After all recommendations and books, be aware that
some people already died doing the 21 days process
. They died because of ignoring body signals or because making huge mistakes during the process. Here is a link to the cases. I recommend you to read it.
Have a nice journey...

He is amazing !!!
A tip: During the 21 days process, don't do anything. You need to save energy. Just rest and relax and appreciate the wonderful feelings. The best travel in my opinion. You will be safe, don't worry. As clean you are before the process, easier it will be. In the previous days try to eat the less you can. What I did was just to drink fruit juices in the last 3 days before the 21 days process, so the detox phase is easier. And I drank as much water I could immediately before the midnight (when the process begins).
Each one has his particular process and every process is different. What happened to me was that I had no energy at all and one night I didn't sleep all night, but the next day I was very well, not sleepy at all, it was amazing.

Hi All, A great thread here and just remember while the 21 process can be a beautiful sacred experience with many gifts to free us from having to ingest physical food no 21 process is required to be nourished by solely by prana,
we are already being nourished by prana
, and the more free we are of physical, emotional and mental toxicity the more powerfully the Prana can flow through us and nourish us. As Akahi says every second this Life Force energy (Prana - the force that gives us life) is nourishing us, it is intelligent, loving energy, the main thing is to have trust and faith that it can and will nourish us, I think it is a good idea to clear cellular memory of any negative imprints if we hold beliefs of necessity to eat, I am sure for many of us drawn to this lifestyle we hold with a another lifetime or parallel existence we are already doing this and we can access that and bring into our present consciousness awareness - James

Rick, thank you for posting so many references for inedia and taking time to answer so many questions. I feel excited for my own process with so much experience to draw from when questions arise.
JMW, thank you for providing this forum and your amazing research, experience, and support. Thank you for your generosity with LSWF. Just reading your book presented an exciting possibility for something I had long ago desired, but was not yet ready.
Myke, thank you for this great thread. I'm just getting started myself and am very interested in your process.

Total assets of the largest banks as a share of GDP increased rapidly in major OECD countries in the years leading up to the financial crisis, says Bank Competition and Financial Stability. In contrast, in emerging economies, which were affected by the crisis to a lesser degree, the asset-to-GDP ratio was stable. In the case of China, the ratio actually decreased ahead of the financial crisis.
The proportional increase in assets of the largest French and British banks is particularly noticeable in the late 1990s and 2000s, with the three biggest British banks holding assets worth almost 340% of the UK's GDP on the eve of the global financial crisis and 260% for the French big three. In 1995, the figure for both countries was less than 80%.
Some of the competitive practices in the banking system (or lack thereof) may have exacerbated the crisis, according to the report, while the authors warn that some government policies–for instance, enforced mergers–may have adverse consequences for competition.

[ 新儒记牛腩粉 @ 芙容大巴刹 ]
Went to Port Dickson last weekend, with my fellow colleagues. Well, PD is the nearest beach we can find in KL. To BBQ at beach side, is much better than at someone's house right?
But then I'm no going to talk about the BBQ at PD here, I'm talking about a very nice Beef Noodle stall in Pasar Besar Seremban, that we had the next day before we back from PD. This stall is very famous for its beef noodle. Hm, too bad we all had dried beef noodle, should have try the soup too. Perhaps, I will have another chance to come again for their soup !
the sesames, spring onions, fried peanuts, and salted vege scattered at top
right at the bottom, is the choices of your noodle
I strongly recommend the Lai-Fen(瀨粉), taste just so perfect~
Went google about it too, for more information, please refer this link.

Gladys Knight -- Paris Jackson Deserves Her Teeth Knocked Out
Gladys Knight Paris Jackson Deserves Her Teeth KNOCKED OUT
Soul legend and famed Jackson family friend Gladys Knight thinks Paris Jackson is a snot-nosed little brat for bashing Janet -- in fact, Gladys says Paris deserves to get her TEETH knocked out for mouthing off to her elders.
Gladys appeared on "The Talk" Thursday ... saying, "Paris is 14? How old is Janet? Who's the one to try to direct the other one here? I would think it's a good thing [Janet] lets Paris know who she is."
Gladys added, "If [Paris] called me that, she would have no teeth ... That's how we were brought up. You respect your elders."
As we reported, Paris and Janet faced off in an explosive argument at the Jackson compound this week. Sources tell us Janet called Paris a "spoiled little bitch" ... and Paris shot back, "This is our house. Not the Jackson family house. Get the f**k out!"

Westbury Village takes no action on nightclub's permit
The Westbury Village Board of Trustees said it would not act Thursday night on an application from the Post Avenue nightclub Avanti, which was seeking a special-use permit to operate as a cabaret bar.
Mayor Peter Cavallaro did not say when the board would decide.
The nightclub was effectively shut down by the village board last month after it voted not to renew its special-use permit, citing noise and garbage complaints and an advertisement the mayor claimed promoted a "swingers party."
The online advertisement, provided by the village, used the phrase "Start Your Sexual Revolution" and "Swing Life Style."
Cavallaro said the club violated an "adult uses" covenant.
Representatives for the club denied any sexual activity took place during the club's events.
An attorney for club owner Barry Ceriano denied that such an event was held at the night club and said the owner was unaware it was being advertised that way by a promoter.
At times, the exchanges between Cavallaro and the club's attorney were impassioned.
"It was a promoter that he could not control," said the attorney, Sherman Jackson, of owner Ceriano.
"He is the person in control of the premises," Cavallaro countered.
Cavallaro added: "The law is clear, adult uses are permitted in the village in certain areas; they're not permitted in the establishment that he's operating."
Cavallaro said the club violated other components of the covenant, saying the club failed to report various police calls to the village.
One resident who lives nearby, Nick Martone, said he often calls the police because of disruptions, but said, "they don't come."
Other residents, wary since a new performing arts center is set to open, raised concerns about traffic on Post Avenue.
"On a Friday night, I can't drive down Post Avenue," said Ellen Hurwitch, 58, who has lived in the village for nearly 12 years. But she added, "If it's run properly, it's fine."
After the hearing, Cavallaro said the board is "cognizant of the rights he [Ceriano] has as a business owner" and will take them into account when deciding. If the permit were renewed, he said, it would likely be stricter.

L.A.'s Pink Taco, a restaurant named after female genitalia that serves bad Mexican food to people who would eat bad Mexican food at a restaurant named after female genitalia, has pissed people off. How? In honor of Cinco de Mayo, they spray painted a donkey pink, wrote the words "Pink Taco" on its side (pathetically), and chained the humiliated animal to their entrance in 85 degree heat. Isn't that fun? ¡Olé!
According to OC Weekly, passersby noticed the broken pack mule — whom the restaurant calls "Pinky" and who has been used in other, equally stupid promotions — and took to social media with their disgust. Before long, the Facebook group Boycott Pink Taco Century City was formed. (Consider it done.) Realizing a backlash was brewing, the restaurant deleted its Twitter and Facebook accounts.
According to an eyewitness, a police officer "gave Pink Taco a cease and desist order, making the restaurant take down the 'display' as it didn't have a permit."
All of this brings back memories of the controversy that accompanied Banksy's first L.A. gallery show in 2006, in which the artist painted a live elephant with a pink and gold wallpaper pattern. Animal rights activists protested, and L.A. Animal Services attempted to withdraw the permits, unsuccessfully. The paint was eventually removed, but the elephant was still made to stand for the remainder of the show's three days.
Banksy would go on to be nominated for an Oscar, though, so chin up, Pink Taco! Hollywood loves second chances. [OCWeekly, photo via OC Weekly]

The biggest threat to broker-dealers is their outside business dealings, warned a Pershing executive leading a panel of compliance experts at the Pershing Insite conference.
"This is how bad reps are stealing clients' money," said Pershing managing director and managing counsel Joan Schwartz. At a Wednesday session focusing on compliance and regulation at the conference, in south Florida, the panel addressed a number of issues that both broker-dealers and RIAs are facing, including complying with FATCA and the SEC's large trader rule, which may apply to some RIAs.
Turning back to the issue of broker-dealer compliance, Schwartz pointed out to the home office personnel in attendance, "since you approve these" outside business operations, make sure you conduct periodic reviews. "You are the most important person to stop" such frauds, she said.
Some broker-dealers are not only asking about those outside dealings, but also scrutinizing reps' personal checking accounts and their spouse's checking accounts to look for anomalies. In addition, she suggested that BD compliance staff make unannounced visits to reps' offices and even conduct random calls to end clients to ensure that those clients are not being taken advantage of by reps.
Another member of the panel, Pershing director Lynn Young, suggested broker-dealer compliance officers take an even more direct approach. "Open that locked file cabinet" in reps' offices, she suggested, speaking both literally and figuratively. "Look at the outward appearance of the rep as well," she said, to discern if said rep had recently been spending beyond his or her usual means, even to the point of determining if he's now sporting expensive jewelry or driving a particularly expensive car.
In a separate breakout session on Thursday at Insite, Ann Costello, the head of government affairs for Pershing's parent, BNY Mellon, looked at what Congress, President Obama and the two political parties will be focusing on this summer and following the election.
"Don't expect much action" from Congress before the presidential election in terms of legislation or even regulation in Washington, she predicted, but do expect "mostly messaging" from congressional leadership designed to help the two parties' presidential candidates. GOP leadership will put forward proposals on the economy, taxes and energy projects, she predicted, and to "put it on the record" that the party would extend the Bush-era tax cuts. Democratic leadership in Congress will in turn likely put forward legislation to enact the so-called "Buffett tax" on millionaires, as the Oracle of Omaha has suggested to help cut the deficit. As for the election, she said it was "up in the air" whether Republicans would gain a majority in the Senate, but she thought it unlikely that the GOP would gain a supermajority in the upper house, which would make it likely that Americans would continue to see a split government for at least the next two years beginning in 2013.
She also said that the presidential election was too close to call, but if Obama wins re-election, we can expect regulators in the SEC and the Labor Department to be "unleashed," while if Romney wins, the directors of those agencies will be out of a job, with the result that regulators will be "able to exercise more discretion."
Turning to what likely will be an important lame-duck session of Congress following the November election, the former Goldman Sachs lobbyist said the biggest threat was that the mandatory sequestration cuts scheduled to kick in on Jan. 1, 2013 might well lead to a recession, since (failing Congressional action on the budget) all those spending cuts and tax increases would take place in one year, dealing a blow to the economy. As for the Bush-era tax cuts, she said there may well be a bipartisan compromise that would include higher rates on the "wealthy," with a specific definition of what constitutes wealthy to be determined. The compromise would likely include higher taxes on dividend (at some level between the current 15% rate and 30%) and that capital gains taxes would be allowed to rise, but that there would be much talk about a longer-term fix by "reforming the tax code."

So i dont want to digress, but last thing i'll say is Dolan is a business man above all else, and i just found it ironic that he ends up makin millions of an investment he didnt directly make.

The Rock of Gibraltar is not in a bubble, it is the F-4 traveling at near the speed of sound that is the bubble! This will become evident as the collision between the two plays out over the coming years.
Keep in mind that we're not just talking dollars, the Yuan is the largest player in this space by far - note that they don't call it the Renminbi for nothing! Literally translated it means "The People's Money" in Chinese.
The market for Bitcoin was previously so small, but growing so fast, that applying technical analysis (TA) to it was pretty much pointless. But over the past few months I have been noticing that reliable patterns like Head & Shoulders were playing out according to known TA rules.
I keep money in Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, not to speculate, but as a store of value. But that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention to the TA formations.
I see a reliable pattern playing out now – it's called a pennant. This pennant WILL resolve not later than about July the 5th (remember that Bitcoin trades year round without "after hours markets" or holidays), and it is a big one!
The run into a pennant is called the mast. This formation resembles a flag, which is similar to a pennant, but shaped as a rectangle, not a triangle. Both the flag and the pennant are consolidation sideways moves. The rule for both is that the entry direction, in this case up, will be the same as the exit direction. And that the length of the mast will be equal into and out of the pennant or flag.
I believe this mast began at about the $1,200 level and ended at $3,000, thus this pattern is worth about $1,800 on a break higher. So in this case, IF THIS FORMATION IS VALID AND BREAKS HIGHER, then I will be looking for Bitcoin to proceed to roughly the $4,300 level, and that it will take approximately two months for it to get there (a proportional amount of time).
This is interesting to me because the bond market has just made a significant move higher, while stocks have cast off a six Hindenburg Omen cluster (showing internal weakness), one of the necessary ingredients for a stock market crash, and at minimum higher odds of a significant decline.
Bitcoin did not exist during the last financial crisis, so we do not know how it will behave in the next. My guess is that speculators who hold Bitcoin may need to initially sell them to raise dollars to pay other "investment" losses. But overall I would expect those who hold dollars to want to move those dollars to safe haven. Where is it safe? Bitcoin. Why? Because it's secure and it's a store of value because it has a fixed quantity, unlike tulips or dollars.
A word about interest rates. I think most analysts have this wrong… Mathematically our macro economy is saturated with debt. Mathematically adding more debt to a saturated system does not promote real growth, it actually destroys growth because new "money" that is created has to go to service the debt and to pay interest to bankers who made the "money" from thin air.
As we raise rates I expect that the differential in rates between the U.S. and the rest of the world INITIALLY will cause dollars to repatriate thus INITIALLY fueling the "asset" bubbles higher. This will, and may have already, run out of steam. Once dollars stop repatriating, then the expected slowdown will occur again caused by the math associated from higher interest burden on an already saturated environment. Yes, you read that right. Creating more debt OR raising interest rates BOTH will create a negative math situation beyond the short run.
For those new to the diminishing returns of debt phenomena, here is what I call the Chart of the Century up to the phase transition that occurred in 2009 - 2010:
QE toyed with the numbers and produced this more current chart:
Bitcoin is limited in quantity to 21 million – ever. Litecoin is limited to four times that amount, or 84 million. Thus once all coins are in circulation, the ratio should be 4 to 1. In other words, if Bitcoin is $4,000 per coin, then Litecoin theoretically would be worth about $1,000 if that ratio holds.
But only two weeks ago that ratio was close to 100 to 1. Today Bitcoin is at about $2,560, and Litecoin is at $41.13, or a ratio of 62.24 to 1. I expect that mathematically this ratio will close over the coming years to get closer still to that 4 to 1 ratio. That means that I expect Litecoin to outperform Bitcoin in percentage gains from this point forward in the long run. For example, over the past month Bitcoin has risen 16.81%, but Litecoin has risen 68.92%.
Below is a chart showing a correlating Litecoin flag formation to Bitcoin's pennant:
Litecoin's mast appears to me to be about $28 long! If it breaks from say $40, then I would expect a target of $68. That would be a 70% rise which is very comparable to Bitcoin's target – again, IF it breaks and behaves as TA would expect.
Ethereum is NOT limited in supply, unlike Bitcoin and Litecoin. For this reason it may or may not be a weaker store of value. But it does have better transactional value, a trait that may carry it very far indeed as several major banks and even countries are looking to incorporate Ethereum onto a transactional basis.
It's performance over the past two months has been astonishing, but it has stumbled recently. I own Ethereum, but wish it had both transactional athleticism and a fixed maximum quantity.
I see the same flag pattern playing out in Ethereum now:
The mast on Ethereum is proportionally longer than either Bitcoin or Litecoin – I measure it to be $280 long! So if it breaks from $290, then that mast length
I think these three cryptocurrencies will all head higher as the math of unlimited quantity smashes against fixed and truly secure quantity.
We will see if these formations play out. The track record is very short, so I will not be that surprised if they don't. I would not take action until a clear break is made up and out of those formations. If they break below the formations, I will personally do nothing but add to my positions as they reach key support levels.

|Just when you've thrown in the towel and decided to order business cards with "professional misanthrope" printed on the front, something strange happens to remind you that the generosity of the human spirit is something to behold.
Yesterday when I retrieved the mail I noticed we got another Christmas card. There was no return address on it, so I was curious to see who it was from. Inside was a very cute, retro-looking Santa card. "Hmm," I thought, "very cute. Who's it from?" Inside was a personal note of condolences for Baxter and hopes for Rooney's improving health. It was signed "A friend and family." On the other side of the card a little half-envelope held a $10 bill. "Aww, gosh, what a generous and kind person!" I thought. When I took the $10 bill out, I discovered two $20 bills behind it.
I was floored and amazed. I'm thinking it could have been a fellow blogger, but I'm not really sure. If you are out there reading, dear philanthropist, know that your gift is greatly appreciated and will go toward Rooney's remaining vet bills. I am really quite speechless at such a sweet gesture and what I felt like was a huge gift. Thank you.
I think I'll hold off on printing those cards...

Sadie has one mission in life when it comes to toys--unstuff them as quickly as possible. We have to buy our toys for her at places like Big Lots because we just can't afford to spend $5 for every plush toy. Why don't we buy her toys that can't be ripped apart? She doesn't like them! She LIVES to unstuff dog toys. Here's she's giving one of her Christmas presents the old "one-two." She finds a weak spot, chews it open and begins throwing the stuffing out as fast as she can. You could put a steak in front of her and she wouldn't care until the toy is empty. It's quite the OCD behavior. Thankfully she spits out everything.

|Today is my mother's 71st birthday. The picture in this entry was probably taken in a photo booth around 1968 and I'm already copping an attitude (obviously I look like my dad). I feel so fortunate to still have my mother around since her own mother died when she was only 13 years old. She's always been very active and her hobby is woodworking--and work in general. This year has been the first time she's thought maybe she shouldn't always say "yes" when someone wants a deck built. She's the most mechanically inclined woman I know. I inherited absolutely none of it and she's fixed 1,000 things at our house with the enthusiasm of Bob V*lla. Sometimes I just worry myself sick over her as she gets older, but I suppose that's a waste of the time we have together. Happy Birthday Ma! Love ya' so much.

or if you are of the school of "sending good vibes," I'd say Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India could use some of that energy right now. Supposedly the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu had the warning information an hour before the giant waves crushed the shores, but they had no contact information for that part of the world. I suppose they do now.
The death toll was fairly close the population of my hometown. They are going to need everyone's help. Below are sites that offer ways to lend a hand:

|Hoorah! The log o' poo has landed! No surgery! Rooney is coming home today. I am so happy he's moved the blockage out the back door. I was so terribly worried. I know it's hardly casserole-talk to discuss cat feces, but you just can't imagine how happy I am to know this problem is going to be resolved. It's just about the best Christmas present I could receive this year. I can't wait to go pick him up. The litter boxes at home are clean-as-a-whistle and ready for use. Atticus and Grayson (in pic) will be happy to see him.
|We also had my family over for Christmas festivities. I've never laughed so much with them in my life. It was probably the best Christmas my family has ever had together. There are many things for which to be thankful, including the 12 wonderful years we had with a very funny cat named Baxter.

|Poop, that is. My little Rooney has severe constipation. He was really looking awful again this morning so I rushed him off to the vet on the way to work. X-rays from another angle today showed that the feared "mass" in his abdominal cavity is actually a giant pile of rock-hard crap. We were fooled by the diarrhea, but apparently it was shooting around the hard mass. He has lost another 1/2 pound in the last three days as well. Constipation is a diagnosis I can live with (yay!).
|They have been giving him enemas and laxatives all day and I'm sure we'll have plenty of diet changes and instructions after he comes home. For now he will be spending the night at the Kitty Sump Pump. We hope to bring him home tomorrow. The worst case scenario is surgery to remove the impacted poop...which we want to avoid if at all possible. Apparently Manx kitties are prone to intestinal blockage. Poo on that. Hell, I'm just glad to get some good news for a change.
After all, don't you know It's A Wonderful Life?

|I call Rooney so many things: Roonster, Rooney-spitoony, Roonster-padoonster, etc. He looked a little peaked last night when I brought him upstairs and put him on the bed with us, but this morning he was crawling under the covers with me, licking my fingers and looking fairly spry.
He sat on the toilet seat while I took a shower and when I got out he began his usual loud-mouth meowing and pawing at me to pick him up--ah, that's the old Rooney I know and love--demanding! Once I'd given him a hug and some good scratches he was satisfied and sat at the top of the stairs before beginning his meowing again for breakfast. He is a very vocal cat!
He ate a small breakfast and seemed to feel a little better. I didn't see any evidence of funky poo in the litter box this morning either, so I hope the frequent small meals are helping prevent the diarrhea and vomiting. I hope to hear some news on the bloodwork today and will update when I do.
Thanks again for all your kind comments. I can't believe how much they have helped. Not everyone understands the worry animal-lovers experience over their beloved pets and your care and concern has been a gift. Let's keep our paws crossed for some good news. Sending thanks and peace to you all...
Well, I just talked to my vet and Rooney's bloodwork looks normal somehow (Yay!). We're going to try and replace some of the "good" bacteria in his stomach with little bits of plain yogurt and put him on a prescription bland soft food. Then we'll try some steroids next week if he's not much improved. If that doesn't help we may still have to look at exploratory surgery. So, at least I didn't get BAD news. Whew! It could even be that he just has a bizarre intestinal problem that can be treated. One step at a time. Meow!

|Now my little dearest clown-kitty, Rooney, has gotten ill. I thought he was depressed over Baxter's death, but he's been having terrible diarrhea and has continued to lose weight even though we've been working on fattening him up. He's been sitting crouched in front of the heater vent. So, I took him to the vet on Saturday and they did a ton of bloodwork (due back tomorrow) and took an X-ray.
Usually, the vet will start out with one of those, "Well overall it looks pretty good..." but when she brought in the X-ray she began with a list of abnormalities and "this is not supposed be there; I'm not sure what these spots are...this is not a normal picture at all..."
My heart sank. I felt sick. His intestines are pushed back into the end of his abdominal cavity and although the X-ray didn't show a mass, the vet said there might be one because it looks as though many organs are being pushed around by "something." His temperature was also abnormally low.
No. No. No. Until the bloodwork comes back she told me to feed him a special prescription diet mixed with pancreatic enzyme medicine to help him absorb some nutrients.
So I did. And he got sicker. He just huddled on his Purr Pad and his little face was fiery hot. And then he had the most violent vomiting episode I've ever seen in man or animal. I was considering taking him to the local animal after-hours ER with absolutely no money to pay for it (Baxter's hospital and cremation bills have completely wiped us out.) We thought we would try to hydrate him a little first, so we went out and got some Pedialyte and fed him tiny, tiny morsels of his favorite food without the enzymes. Every hour we gave him a couple dropperfuls of Pedialyte and a tiny bit of food. We got up throughout the night to continue the routine and he progressively perked up and even crawled under the covers with us for a while, which is something he likes to do.
This morning he was hungry and meowing which was a very good sign. I hope the bloodwork tells us something and that it can be treated. The next step is probably a fasting X-ray and possibly exploratory surgery (which I hope is not necessary). My fear is cancer, but my hope is a thyroid problem that can be medicated. I'm going to check on him at lunch and give him another small snack/drink.
Needless to say, we are just sick with this new development. Here's hoping for Christmas Miracles.

|Home is a different place without Baxter. He was our "special" cat and was always tooling around announcing himself with his muffled half-meows "mmmmrrrrrphhhh." The other cats are acting strangely with Rooney being downright depressed. He refuses to play which is unheard of.
|Sleeping is especially hard because he was always laying on your head all night, doing his best to steal all the real estate he could on your pillow. If you took too long to turn over, you'd find him curled up already in the spot where your head had been. He was sneaky like that.
|We tried to convince him that he needed some Christmas spirit the first few years he was with us, but he wasn't terribly interested in it. He was very overweight when we adopted him and we should have worked harder to get the extra weight off when he was younger. He was a big cat, even lean, and we called him "Biggie" or "Big Boy."
|Of course, as you can tell, the antlers were his favorite. The pet burial services company called and left us a message yesterday saying "the process is complete and I could come pick up Baxter's ashes anytime." I'd rather pick up my sweet Big Boy.
|Thank you to everyone for your kind comments and expressions of sympathy...they make a big difference. Peace.

"State and nationwide polls have shown that the vast majority of Americans are strongly opposed to horse slaughter:
In 1995 - A national call-in TV poll resulted in 93% of callers agree that 'the killing of horses for meat be banned.'
In 1997 - A state-wide poll taken in California revealed that 88% of those questioned were opposed to horse slaughter.
In 1999 - A poll conducted in New York State yielded the following results:

Of course W., the Idiot, signed away more than 30 years horse protection (which was unanimously approved by Congress at the time). Now wild horses are subject to slaughter for foreign palates--since we find it horrifying to eat it ourselves. Only horses over 10 can be shipped off, but horses aren't dogs. Horses live 30-35 years.
Oh, by the way, Congress unanimously voted for Dec. 13 to become National Day of the Horse...on your plate that is. Most of the overgrazing they claim to be done by the horses was actually shown to be done by poorly managed cattle herds.
Let's just go ahead and sell shelter dogs to Vietnamese restaurants. Or, better yet, lets fry up another historic symbol, the American Bald Eagle.
I'm already out of sorts anyway because one of my cats collapsed this morning and I had to rush him to the animal hospital. The vet couldn't find a pulse on him when I first got there. They've had him in an oxygen tent for several hours. I don't know what's wrong yet, but they've done x-rays and taken blood and urine for testing.
Deep breathing. Deep breathing.

Please take a moment to remind Congress that Americans do NOT eat horsemeat and condemn the practice of horse slaughter!
...from the Society for Animal Protective Legislation...
"Currently, three foreign-owned slaughterhouses in the United States are killing horses for human consumption. They are Beltex Corporation in Ft. Worth, Texas and Dallas Crown in Kaufman, Texas and Cavel International in DeKalb, IL. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 50,564 horses were slaughtered in 2003...thousands more are transported under deplorable conditions across our borders into Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered...Once at the slaughterhouse, the suffering and abuse continue unabated...workers, using long, thick fiberglass rods, poke and beat the horses' faces, necks, backs, and legs as they are shoved through the facility into the kill box. Due to extreme overcrowding, abuse, deafening sounds, and the smell of blood, the horses exhibit fear typical of "flight" behavior – pacing in prance-like movements with their ears pinned back against their heads and eyes wide open. While Federal law requires that horses be rendered unconscious prior to having their throats slit, recent documentation shows that repeated blows with captive bolt pistols are often necessary, causing excruciating suffering. Horses writhe in the holding stall (known as the "kill box"), legs buckling under their weight after each traumatic, misguided and ineffective blows to their heads. Death is not swift for these terrified and noble animals."
Just take a moment by clicking one of these links:

If you swoon over beautiful color combinations, you should see Carol Weymar's (a.k.a. The Silkworker) hand-painted silk top. I swear I can feel my pupils dilate when I look at her selections. She also has a nice page on how to spin silk, which I found very helpful.
Other than that I'd like to point out to the entire world that I have a zit on my forehead the size of a pomegranate. I can feel it pulsing. There are little men working in there, shoveling coal into its fiery epicenter, making my skin itchy, red and hot. This morning I was imagining ants outfitted in rappelling equipment climbing to its volcanic peak and holding a religious ceremony there.
I haven't had a zit like this on my face since the 80's. I can only surmize that I've entered perimenopause, the second-coming of puberty. I think I'll get a hysterectomy for my birthday.
I am ever-so-thankful I recently got a hairstyle with bangs. And I am thankful the semester is over. I took my cognitive behavioral final exam yesterday and it was a breeze (knock on wood.)

A short lesson on slaughterhouse practice.* Why and how does this occur? I'm not a fan of PETA but occasionally they do some investigation that speaks for itself. No dramatics needed. Thanks to VegBlog for the link.
*beware of graphic content
Regardless of whether or not you are a vegetarian, there are federal laws that demand animals not suffer, but be rendered "insensible to pain" before they are killed. How well do you think these laws are enforced? Poultry isn't covered by the laws at all. To discourage injuries from pecking in cramped quarters, their beaks are sliced off with a hot knife tool. And yes, beaks are packed with nerves. Eaten or not eaten, animals should not endure torture for our mere convenience. More here...

Bloggie-friend Laura requested a hat from me a while ago and here's the almost finished result. I need to do some work on the brim and insert the hat band, but it looks like it will have a new home very soon a top Laura's noggin'.
And takin' it from the top.
All handmade and hand-felted of course of Norwegian and Merino wool and hand-dyed silk. Hand-blocked and a whole lotta fun! I hope she likes it. I get so excited to get a hat out to someone.
And I have another custom order to get busy on ASAP as well! Fun for me!!! Woot!

Dear Darling Readers,
My life has changed in a blink of an eye. A miracle has been performed. A door has been opened. I think I even see a red carpet rolled out for me. Forty is around the corner and I'm looking forward to it. Droopy boobs be damned.
There's been much ado about my health over the last three years including several surgeries, medications and treatments. From uterine fibroids to endometriosis to gallbladder removal to tachycardia and high blood pressure. Oh, and I can't leave out the misdiagosis of Hepatitis B...that's another story.
Whether from having life-long problems with depression or the life-long problem of the tachycardia, I have always and forever been battling serious fatigue. I have never had enough energy to get through the day--ever. I do things anyway, but it is a constant battle. Then, about a 1 1/2 weeks ago a corrective measure was made in some medication and I, for the first time IN MY LIFE, do not feel like I'm dragging corpse around.
I FEEL NORMAL AND AWAKE (whatever that might be).
I don't have to say "no" to social events anymore because I just don't have the energy.
My heart doesn't sink when I see a mess in the house. Gosh-darn-it, I just walk over there and take care of it.
I am not afraid of committing to projects I have been wanting to do.
I feel like talking to people more.
I feel like seeing my friends.
I don't crash when I get home from work.
I dust when it's not "cleaning day."
I don't have to take naps throughout the weekend just to feel rested.
I don't feel left out because I don't have enough energy to enjoy myself.
The past week has been a mixture of shouting from the rooftops and crying in the depths of hell as I've made these adjustments and dealt with a myriad of personal challenges at home. Being suddenly COMPLETELY different was a tremendous shock. I was fearful that it was too good to be true. And I was also extremely upset that I was seeing my life clearly for the first time. The tremendous weight was removed and I saw many important changes that needed to be made ASAP.
I will turn 40 next month and it's not going to be about sagging ass cheeks, droopy boobs, a flabby waist or developing pig-like jowls. Wah-fucking-wah.
It's going to be about freedom from chronic fatigue--for the first time in my life.

But somehow when I play Higan on the tv compared to my PC monitor it just feels like it lags a little more. I know that there are supposed to be a few hiccups because of cycle accuracy (the actual snes had a little lag too) but somehow compared to the monitor it feels different.
When I play modern games on steam on my uhdtv it just acts exactly like my monitor. Thats actually what makes me wonder if an emulator like higan would act differently on my uhdtv than my pc monitor even though modern games just work fine and the same.

I chanced upon your recent fall painting which impressed me so i visited your site and viewed all the others. I must say you are a good artist and if i am not mistaken, you like doing portraits more. They have come out very well. Since how many years have you been painting?
A Beauty!!! I just love the simplicity an old barn or farmhouse represents…you captured it beautifully. You are clearly a person who embraces the simple times…a kindred spirit. Monique.Art As Pain Therapy 💜
Great work. Thank you for sharing, and yes: Sign it! Have a good Sunday! Michael
Your painting is fabulous! Wow! I can't speak to whether or not to sign it but I think you are very talented!
The scene seems very alive. I think it is the movement of the lines 🙂 I love it!
Awww thanks:3
Thank you Denise:D
Good work, you are obviously very talented. My best attempts at art involve drawing a good stick person, but although I don't consider myself an artist I do follow really good a couple of artists whose work I admire and I always look forward to their posts. And I especially enjoy watercolours …
Thanks and cool hehe c:
Hi yes sign them. I have a friend that has a symbol of a bonsai leaf and his signature. Some people just use their initials ..I sign my whole name …It 's another stage we go through as artists of owning our work. Of saying Yes …I made this and you are so lucky to have it!. This blog is a part of it as well.
Awesome, love the painting!
I like the feeling of atmosphere and perspective, which is something which I'd like to learn with practice, and youtube tutorials, etc.
Thanks, good luck

Co-medical director, Providence Thoracic Oncology Program
Medical oncologist, Providence Lung Cancer Clinic
Providence Oncology and Hematology Care Clinic-Eastside
Research presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting in June 2011 included a multi-institutional study of a combination therapy for patients with progressive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Providence Oncology and Hematology Care Clinics participated in this trial, which involved 176 patients. The study evaluated apricoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, in combination with erlotinib, a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway. The study screened patients after a single-agent run-in with apricoxib alone to receive erlotinib with apricoxib or placebo.
This study attempted to select patients with an optimized chance of benefit from COX-2 inhibition by evaluating levels of COX-2 inhibition through urinary PGE-M markers before and after patients received apricoxib. Patients demonstrating significant change in PGE-M excretion were eligible to participate.
Unfortunately, the trial did not meet its primary endpoint of improvement of the time to cancer progression compared with erlotinib alone – a standard drug for this population.
In a prespecified analysis, patients over the age of 65 tended to have higher rates of side effects, which caused them to withdraw from the study earlier than their younger counterparts.
The study was intriguing, however, given that for patients younger than 65, overall survival was 8.5 months with apricoxib, compared to 3.8 months with erlotinib alone.
Ongoing studies with apricoxib continue, including a trial at Providence Cancer Center that is evaluating apricoxib in combination with other chemotherapy agents (pemetrexed or docetaxel) for patients with progressive non-small cell lung cancer.
This study is actively recruiting patients. So far, Providence is a site of significant accrual for both of these studies.
Partnering with Hoosier
Providence Oncology and Hematology has partnered with Hoosier Oncology Group to conduct clinical research in multiple tumor types. In one recently completed phase I study presented at ASCO this year, patients with advanced solid cancers received the novel combination of amrubicin with cyclophosphamide. The combination was found to be safe and feasible, and a larger study is now in preparation for patients with metastatic small cell lung cancer.
Providence Oncology and Hematology continues to enroll patients in trials with Hoosier Oncology Group, including an ongoing study evaluating the multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, vandetanib, in combination with first-line chemotherapy for patients with metastatic small cell lung cancer.
The ASCO meeting provides an excellent opportunity to review and discuss the most cutting-edge clinical and translational research in a global format, and I look forward to attending the meetings each year. It is exhilarating to hear what advances are being made in all aspects of cancer care, but humbling to be reminded of how far we have to go.
The mechanisms of clinical research have changed dramatically since the War on Cancer was declared, and it will be fascinating to see how the future continues to unfold.

Cyclists hit road for second annual NOLA Bike to Work Day
Participants enjoying benefits of cycling, organizers say
Hundreds of New Orleanians chose two wheels to get to work Tuesday morning.
Cyclists met at Duncan Plaza to start the second annual NOLA Bike to Work Day in the city.
"We have about 500 people who have pre-registered for Bike to Work Day. That was the total number from last year, so I think we're looking at about 700 this year in total," said Jamie Wine, executive director of Bike Easy.
Organizers said the participants are enjoying all the other benefits of cycling.
"Biking is a great way for people to save money, to be healthy and to get to know your neighbors and other people around, so it's a really wonderful way of transportation," said Kristin Palmer, of the New Orleans City Council.
Chane Doreaux, of the Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies, is hoping more people will get involved and get healthy.
"We're from the Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies, and we thought it was really important for us to get moving and get healthy," said Doreaux.
"Even Zulu has its own bike club embedded within Zulu, and they go out on weekends and go biking and do great things for the community," said Palmer.
The organizers and sponsors are hoping the event gets bigger and bigger every year.
New Orleans ranks 10th in the nation for the number of commuters by bike.

Did Ron Paul win Tuesday's GOP debate at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington?
OK, it's hard to really say anyone "wins" a debate, given that there's no scoring, and Wolf Blitzer doesn't come out afterward and hand out a medal. In general, last night's word fight was high-minded and good for everybody, except maybe Herman Cain, since he didn't say much.
CNN's Blitzer did well, too – drawing candidates into real conversations, and emceeing questions from assembled think-tank luminaries. The whole thing was a real debate in that it juxtaposed real differences of opinion.
Which is where Congressman Paul comes in. It was him against the Republican world last night. His positions are often very different from those of his GOP opponents, and he defended them with his typical well-honed points. You're reminded once again that he's been at this for decades. Even longer than Mitt Romney.
University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato tweeted last night that Paul tied with Newt Gingrich as last night's winner. Sabato gave both a "B+."
New York Times polling analyst Nate Silver similarly gave Paul a "B+." He thought both Newt and Jon Huntsman rated an "A," however.
Paul "sounded authoritative and made his points clearly" judged Politico's Maggie Haberman.
Our own reaction to Paul was that nobody laid a glove on him, despite the fact that many of his positions are controversial both within the GOP and in US politics at large. (He said foreign aid is "worthless," for instance. Really? Not even the other GOP candidates went that far. US cash is paying for much of Africa's fight against HIV/AIDS, for instance. Is that not money well spent?)
But take the opening sequence, when most all the other candidates supported Patriot Act antiterror provisions as necessary intrusions on liberty at a time of danger for the US. Paul was having none of that.
"I think the Patriot Act is unpatriotic, because it undermines our liberty," said Paul in the opening moments of the debate.
The longtime libertarian was just getting warmed up.
"So if you advocate a police state, you can have safety and security, and you might prevent a crime, but the crime then will be against the American people and against our freedoms," said Paul.
Paul then went on to differ with the crowd by saying the US should "let Israel take care of itself." That meant, apparently, don't meddle with Israel if it wants to bomb Iran, but don't give it any money to do the deed, either.
(As an aside, we'll ask this: Did the Texas congressman let slip some interesting and closely guarded info in his response? He said, "Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles, and they can take care of themselves." That's on the high end of the estimates experts outside the US government make as to the extent of Israel's nuclear program.)
Then there was the whole defense budget-cutting thing, in which Paul and Mitt Romney went at it.
First Romney opposed the possibility of a trillion dollars being cut from the defense budget. That might happen because the congressional super committee didn't figure out a way to reduce the budget by $1.2 trillion over 10 years, so automatic cuts might take effect next year.
"They're not cutting anything out of anything," replied Paul. "All this talk is just talk."
Paul appeared to be referring to the fact that nothing is in stone yet – some in Congress want to repeal the automatic cuts, many of the "cuts" are reductions in growth as opposed to actual reductions in the size of government programs, and so forth.
Romney disagreed. He ticked off a list of weapons systems Congress has already trimmed. "They're cutting ... into the capacity of America to defend itself," he said.
So what do you think of Paul versus the GOP world? Leave a comment and let us know.

Michael Wegner- 1979 Pontiac Firebird
Although 31-year-old Michael Wegner works at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, his favorite mode of transportation is undoubtedly his 1979 Firebird TransAm, the first car he ever bought.
"I knew I wanted it long before I bought it," says the Ruckersville resident. "It's the perfect combination of European style and American power. It used to have the best handling, braking, and accelerating of any car in the U.S."
Wegner considers Virginia roads the best in the country and likes to take advantage of local attractions: he's driven to every vineyard within 100 miles of Charlottesville.
"With the overdrive five-speed manual transition I installed, it handles the mountains really well," he says. "I love taking it out around here."
What drives you? Call 295-8700 ext. 239, then pull up in front of Hook headquarters at 100 Second St. NW and tell us why you love your ride.

People you know caring for the people you love.
Since Lawrence Memorial Hospital opened its doors more than fifty years ago, it has expanded into Lawrence Health Services, which has allowed our facility to provide quality health and wellness services to meet the needs of our community.
The commitment and foresight of our local physicians and county leaders long ago is still a driving force within our organization today, prompting us to find new and effective ways to improve the overall health of the people we serve.
Our slogan is—and will continue to be—"People you know caring for the people you love" because, as with most small communities, our physicians, employees and staff are members of the same community as our patients. Because we all live and work in the same place, we feel it is necessary to take those extra steps towards making "home" a better place.
That's why for five decades our organization has shown a commitment to implementing community programs that improve the quality of life for Lawrence County families.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Symptoms worsen over time, usually over several years, and can have a severe effect on performing daily tasks and activities.
Alzheimer's is considered a terminal condition, with an average life expectancy of 4 to 8 years after diagnosis, though some individuals live 15 or 20 years after their initial diagnosis. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Roughly 5.5 million Americans, the vast majority of whom are older adults (over the age of 65), are living with Alzheimer's. Early Onset Alzheimer's, on the other hand, affects approximately 200,000 Americans under the age of 65, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
If you have a loved one who has recently been diagnosed, you likely have many questions. This FAQ gives you answers from care professionals at Visiting Angels®. Learn more about Alzheimer's below.
Dementia is an umbrella term for a wide range of brain disorders that are characterized by memory loss. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia. According to estimates, Alzheimer's cases account for somewhere between 60% to 80% of all cases of dementia.
It's therefore true that everyone with Alzheimer's has dementia, but not everyone with dementia has Alzheimer's. Individuals who are living with vascular dementia, for instance, will suffer symptoms similar to Alzheimer's, but the cause of their dementia is different.
While scientists are still researching the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease, researchers have identified a number of risk factors.
The three biggest risk factors are as follows:
Other risk factors include
Most symptoms, particularly early signs of Alzheimer's, are expressed through a person's speech, thought patterns, and behaviors.
The most prominent symptoms include:
Researchers believe the disease begins many years before people with Alzheimer's begin to show any indications. Symptoms typically start to appear in old adults, though some cases of Alzheimer's begin in a person's 40's or 50's. Alzheimer's is a gradual, progressive disease, with symptoms becoming worse over a period of years.
At first, symptoms will be mild and will have minimal impact on the person's well-being. As the disease progresses, symptoms develop from mild to moderate to severe. By the final stages of the disease, the person may lose all short-term and long-term memory, the ability to speak and to understand speech, and the ability to perform basic personal activities, such as how to use the bathroom or eat on their own. Learn how to prepare for the stages of Alzheimer's.
Currently, there is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease, and the disease's progress is believed to be irreversible. While scientists continue to search for a cure, modern treatments and clinical trials are limited to slowing the onset of the disease, delaying its initial symptoms, or reducing its progress.
Doctors recommend that individuals at risk or living with Alzheimer's disease focus on healthy lifestyle choices, particularly focusing on cardiovascular health. Interventions such as improved sleep habits, increased omega-3 intake, and decreased stress are also proven to reduce the risk.
As Alzheimer's disease progresses, individuals living with the disease require high levels of care to ensure their well-being and safety. Individuals with early stage and mid-stage Alzheimer's are typically cared for by friends or family. But as the disease reaches its later stages, professional Alzheimer's care is often required.
One option for care is moving your loved one into a nursing care facility. However, this can be traumatic for individuals with Alzheimer's, and it is typically considered a last resort.
Another option is to hire Alzheimer's home care services, such as those offered by your local Visiting Angels. This specialized in-home care helps individuals age in place with Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's home care is distinct from traditional home care, since individuals with Alzheimer's have distinct care needs from other seniors. Visiting Angels' specialized care is designed around the unique challenges of the disease, as well as the recipient's individual care needs. Care is provided in the comfort of the recipient's home, and services are performed by caregivers who are uniquely qualified to care for individuals living with Alzheimer's.
Learn more about Alzheimer's care services offered by Visiting Angels today, or contact your local Visiting Angels office to request a free consultation.
You are a lovely person, and it's been a real pleasure to meet you and to be a part of your organization.

There is no "typical" day as the Station Assistant at the Blytheville Station of the Arkansas Archeological Survey. I can find myself doing anything from initial site survey, to mapping, to excavating, to lab work, to final report write-ups. So I thought a more fun blog would be to show you around my area of NE Arkansas and the kinds of places that I find myself throughout my days. We have some amazing archeology out here and I'm lucky to get to work on it every day.
As a general rule I start out my day by coming out to my office. This summer we planted two gardens out front as part of our public outreach/engagement. One is a tenant farmer garden and the other is a native (3 sisters) garden. These two gardens show people not only how the crops differ, but also how planting techniques differ between cultures and time periods.
We also have an up-and-coming museum in Blytheville called the Delta Gateway Museum that is located on Main Street in the old Kress department store building. We have loaned some of our collections to the museum for display and we work with them on various events and displays throughout the year.
We have more than just a museum in NE Arkansas though. We also have a lot of archeological sites. Despite being so close to the Mississippi River and having it meander and destroy most very old archeological sites over the years, we do still have some Archaic (8500BC-600BC) sites! Though they don't look like much during the summer while the field is in beans…
We also have a lot of small, nearly abandoned historic cemeteries. You can be driving down the road and just run across one. Someone is keeping this mowed, but the headstones are falling down and the church that was likely near it is long gone.
Just down the road from our office is the city of Armorel, named for Arkansas (Ar), Missouri (mo), and Robert E Lee Wilson (a local cotton Barron in the early days)(rel). They don't have a huge headquarters there anymore, but this is their old headquarters building and also possibly the company store.
Armorel is just inside the levee that protects the low lying ground of NE Arkansas from flooding on the Mississippi. Seeing the levee makes you really think about the days before the levee was built and how people must have constantly worried about the river flooding, which would have wiped out everything in the area.
The huge Mississippian site called Knappenberger is also in our area of NE Arkansas. It used to have giant mounds on it, but farming over the years has reduced them to hills on the landscape. Here they are planted for the season.
Another nearby Mississippian site has a mound that hasn't been plowed over. It has been severely looted over the years, but not taken down in the same way that plowing does. It is called the Chickasawba mound and has a large site associated with it.
Back to our historic roots, there are a few shotgun houses still standing around the area. Why are they named shotgun houses? Maybe because they are long and thin, or maybe because if you take your shotgun and shoot, you can reach from the front of the house to the back through the doorways in the center. Most are uninhabited, but this one has a satellite dish…
In the more recent past, the NE Arkansas area was home to Eaker Airforce Base, where B52's were stationed during the Cold War. The base is now closed, but many of it's buildings, including our office, are still extant; as is the razorwire on the top of the fences and some of the old guard towers. A bit of a chilly reminder of no-too-distant American history.
So there you have it, a fly-by tour of archeology in NE Arkansas as seen by the Station Assistant at the Blytheville Station of the Arkansas Archeological Survey. This is an amazing area with so much archeology that no one could ever possibly get bored. Come out and see it for yourself!
