Just starting this jouney and no idea of what to do
Hello everyone...I have read almost all the posts here and decided to finally introduce myself. I am 59, retired, single, my children are grown and all live in other states. I have a disabled brother and a sister who lives out of state. By default, I have become the caregiver for my Mother and uncle. My Mother is 77 years old and in very good health. She lives alone next door to me and manages very well for now. She has no health isssues she is just slowing down, physically and mentally. The uncle who is 80 lives in an retirement community and only needs me for doctor appointments and to get him out an about once in a while and for any emergency. My concerns are mainly with my mother. I am already overwhelmed with how much she expects of me, things I think she can do but it is just easier to have someone else do it. It seems no matter how much I do, it is never enough. I do not have a life of my own I am at her beck and call 24/7 and know that if I do not get a good balance soon, it can become very bad for both of us.
What I would like to ask you guys, what do you wish you had known or done prior to taking on such an enourmous responsibilty. Are there any suggestions or ideas you can make to help me as I begin this journey that has no good end.
I want to do the right thing for my mother, but I don't want to kill myself in the process.
Thank you so much for any suggestions you can offer.
My mother was the same way--about 12-13 years ago. If I'd let her, she'd have had me running to the store every day. I let her know that I couldn't do that. We put a pad and paper next to the chair where she usually sits so she could make a list, and I would go to the store for her twice a week. She wasn't happy at first, but soon fell into the routine. And the days I did her shopping, I'd take her out to lunch, so that helped.
A few things you want to consider--probably for the future. If you become aware that she's not taking her medications regularly, we used those M-T-W,etc boxes. I'd fill the little compartments for Mom every Sunday night, and she just had to open the right box each day to take her meds. There was a point, too, where we had to have home health aids in to help mom with bathing and some of her household stuff like cleaning, vacuuming, etc. I found that was a huge help--things she would balk at when I suggested them, she'd do willingly for the health aid. AND it meant she had more people keeping an eye on her during the week.
Always go into the dr. with your elderly relatives. It's always better to have 2 sets of ears listening to the dr's instructions. Sometimes, our older relatives don't understand what the dr. is saying (and are embarrassed to ask for amplification), sometimes they don't catch everything that's said. Sometimes, they decide to ignore the advice given. Always best if you go along.
I don't know if your mom still drives--mine gave it up voluntarily a few years back, thank goodness. My aunt, on the other hand, is 84 and refuses to stop driving--even though she's very shaky and makes me nervous out on the road.
You may want to check into your local senior citizen apartment building. Maybe mom isn't ready for that yet, but they often have LONG waiting lists (mom waited 5 years to get into her apt. We found it was an excellant place for mom when she was no longer able to maintain a house on her own, but wasn't ready to go into assisted living or a nursing home. The rent was based on income--each year mom was re-evaluated and her rent was adjusted (depending upon her income, healthcare exspenses, etc). Very reasonable place to live. And besides being a nice, economical place where many of her friends were also living, they checked on the residents daily, to make sure they were okay.
You may want to sit down with an elder care attorney, with your mom, to get her finances in order while she's still able to make the right kind of decisions. One thing I've learned, with mom dying this past November--any accounts marked POD (payable on death) can be distributed immediately. They don't have to go through probate. My mother had some of her funds that way and I was able to give them right to my brothers and sisters, and the rest is in the estate account, wending slowly through probate.
A good idea, too, to investigate your local office on aging to find out what resources are available to you locally. Maybe you don't need them now, but it's good to know what help is there for the future.
It's all a learning process, though. You'll get it all figured out. And you won't regret the time and effort you put into helping your mom remain as independent as she can, for as long as possible.
Good luck.
Azzalea gave you wonderful advice that I couldn't possibly improve upon. My one caution to you at this time is to learn how to deal with the inevitable guilt and desire to "fix" things for your mom.
In the last four years my mom has moved from her mobile home, to an assisted living facility, to my home, and finally to a memory care/assisted living facility. During this time I have spent countless hours doing everything under the sun just to try and make her life better. You name it -- I did it. What I'm trying to say is that I wore myself ragged trying to alleviate every problem or need -- real or imagined. Yet, in the end, none of it made much of a difference. The only thing I really accomplished was damaging my own health and neglecting my husband.
I know that sounds harsh, and I realize that everyone's experience is different. But, if I had it to do over again, I'd ignore more of my mom's complaints and requests. I'd take care of emergencies, sure. And real medical needs. But I wouldn't be so quick to jump in to try to "fix" things.
I think you need to set limitations. You'll have to oversee medications & doctor visits. You'll have to take care of real emergencies. You'll eventually have to oversee finances. But you absolutely need your own time -- to socialize, pursue hobbies, etc. You need to find a balance between helping your mom and taking care of yourself. And, especially if your uncle is dependent on your care too.
You're on the right track. The time to think of these things is now, before your mother gets frailer. Good luck!
After rereading your post to make sure I got the facts as presented, my first recommendation for you is to sit back and determine if you are allowing yourself to be emotionally blackmailed. This is sometimes hard to face and it's an easy trap to fall into with our loved ones (primarily because they are the people we love) - even easier for you since you live next door and to date have been available to your mother at the drop of a hat. She most likely isn't even aware that the demands she's making are out of the ordinary.
Right now - and down the line - your own health and sanity are the most important. I went through it for almost 6 years as a live in care giver for my mother who had Alzheimer's. I was fortunate in being able to retire at 55 and prepare for my "next job" as caregiver. But all my preparation was for the physical aspects of it, never giving much thought to the emotional toll it had the potential to take. I knew I would be selling my home and relocating, leaving my friends and sacrificing my life as I knew it for the duration. Now that I'm no longer a caregiver, I can look back on the entire experience as something I'm somehow grateful for and as an experience that didn't defeat or suck the life out of me.
Since your mother is in good health, high functioning but simply wearing down as one naturally does with age, it appears that her dependence on you is merely a convenience and not a necessity. If possible, sit down together and have a talk - check out the cabinets and refrigerator for available foodstuffs, etc. and work out a kind of schedule for grocery shopping or errand running making it clear that a couple of bananas, loaf of bread or quart of milk isn't an emergency. You have to try and set some limits now because as time passes, you might not have the luxury. And you're doing this now because you want your mother to remain independent. She most likely wants to be independent, too, but also might subconsciously want to tie you to her to the point where you're smothering.
If she's lonely, maybe there's a senior center that has card playing, arts & crafts, or other activities she could participate in a day or two a week. My mother just blossomed with an adult day care program that was filled with games, crafts, music and other lovely folks. But I also understand that some people simply are not joiners and that might make her uncomfortable or wary of trying new things.
Finances, POA's, wills, etc. and how they're handled are intensely personal things. POD's and Totten Trusts are all well and good things to recommend but you do have to consider a few things and none of this is one size fits all.
One thing I would do now or soon is have your name added to your mother's checking account - you never know when you might have to take over routine bill paying. Simple procedure with a quick trip to the bank.
Also, make sure your siblings are on the same page with you to the extent that's possible. For valid reasons, their participation in looking after your mother and, to a lesser degree, your uncle is limited - so you're the one in charge and the way you handle things should be respected and not second guessed. It's quite possible they're more than willing to let you handle everything.
One thing I did learn in dealing with elderly relatives over the years - the idea of "independence" gets a little skewed. Their independence is directly proportional to the amount of things done for them by others - oftentimes, the only independent thing they do is wake up in their own beds every morning.
It is a journey and it is a strange reversal of roles - children looking after parents. But my best advice is to try and set some limits now. If left unchecked, it'll only get harder for you as time passes and you really don't need to end up with any emotional scars.
Thank you all so much for your thoughtful replys. Azzalea, shambo, and duluthinbloomz4....you all gave me information that I had not thought of....I am looking to put some "distance" between Mom and me so that I will not be consummed with guilt and despair as time goes by. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on about being a caregiver, I am looking for a support group that meets regularly so I can attend, and I have been to my doctor to get help with the depression I am currently suffering.
But your insights based on personal experience are so valuable to me and anyone else facing the same situation.
You validate some of the thoughts I had about her blackmailing me emotionally, having me do things for her because it was "easier" for her, in other words "why do it myself if I can get someone else to do it" thinking.
I do have her finances in order, she does have a health care directive and a medical power of attorney.
I do appreciate the time you took to type out your responses. I have copied and pasted so I can refer to them as time goes by.
God bless you all,
Could she go into a retirement center/assited living home? There she would have others to talk to, controlled excerises, field trips, busses taking her to the shoping centers, medical etc. Our homes here do all of that.
Recheck with a lawyer that everything is in order.
Good luck
hi everyone!!
i will admit that i still read your posts to see what is going on in your lives. i will admit after 11 months i am one very lonely person. but the best advice i have received here is TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF!!! yesterday i turned 52, it was a very hard day because it means that one year anniversary is coming up. but people tell me that i look like i have lost 10 years off my face. i was around to give Al insulin 4 times a day, i learnt how to get groceries using the express line on;y so i could be back home right away. i regret that Al relatives did not help me at all, they should be ashamed of themselves. i didn't have a break in 10 TEN years, last week my daughter and i went to the movies to see 27 dresses, i think the last show i saw except "kiddy" movies was Mr. Mom. my daughter and i are still remodelling the house - and not on tv at 1,000.00 a room. i am getting caught up on reading -- Pea Bee -- i'm almost finished T is for Trespass.
i think if it was possible and we had the money then i would have hired a homemaker that came in for 2-3 hours 2 times a week.
Al and i had wills drawn up when we were in our 20's and i had a new one made. i also added our daughter on my chequing account, had a power of attorney made up, and have already made my funeral arrangements. another thing that has been going on here, and alot, is do not let your mother open the door for anyone she doesn't know and keep your doors locked, just in the past 2 weeks here seniors have been "milked" for approx. 15,000.00 total!!!
when Al's mother became a widow about 30 years ago, she would phone and ask if we were going to the grocery store, he told her we go once every 2 weeks on a friday only and would not let her con him in -- she lived 2 blocks from a large grocery store, so i wasn't she wasn't able--it was "easier".
now i would give anything to have to rush to go to the grocery store or make that special meal!
where it was -45 yesterday!
I have been reading but not posting on this forum since I last posted in 2008. I did get my life together and am truly ashamed I did not follow up with the wonderful people on this forum. Please please forgive me.
update: I found outlets for myself, put my foot down with my mother about what she "needs" versus what she "wants" and have put limitations on what I am willing to take on for her. She is now 80 doing very well. We still have some issues to be worked out and I guess we always will. a mother/daughter, basic personality difference type thing.
My elderly uncle (84) is the problem now. He had a stroke on Feb 2 and now requires assistance in daily living activities. Long story short, he ended up staying with me for the past 6 days while I worked out getting him from his retirement home into an assisted living facility. That was accomplished yesterday and he was happy to go there. Very compliant and agreeable. Well he was yesterday, I will find out about today in a little while when I go visit.
The point of this post and bringing forth the past post is this: The past 6 days has been an extreme eye opening event for me. I can not believe how incredibly hard it was. It was only for 6 days and I knew an end was coming soon. I don't think I would survive if it had to go on for unlimited time. This uncle was not part of my life for over 40 years,he lived in another state and did not visit my mother or have any real contact even with her much less me in all that time. However, he is my mother's brother and a sad old man with no one in the world to care for him. No wife, no children, no friends, no one. He is cranky and can be very difficult, however, he is a human being and deserving of care and compassion, so I am doing what I can for him.
I have a renewed total compassion for caregivers now that I never really had before. I never realized how all consuming it was to have someone totally dependent on you and the stress it places on you.
I am not sure why I felt compelled to post today but maybe someone will get something out of this. My heart goes out to all of you who are caring for someone who can't care for themselves. I can't even begin to imagine how this would be if it was someone very close to you. Someone you had a deep emotional attachment to....words fail me.
Thank you for allowing me to return...

Getting around
I'm close to the J-Church (train), the 14, 28 and 49 Muni line (bus) and 6 blocks from 24th Street BART.
No smoking inside dwelling, but smoking is allowed out in the garden, no more than two occupancy. No Pets, there are two cats here already :) I'm a 53 year old gay single man, be mature and laid back we'll have no problem. I'm definitively not an ageist.
The description of the room and the neighborhood were spot on! We loved staying there, and it was very convenient to public transportation. The area was also quiet and had a lovely view of the city. Gregg was a great host! He was very flexible with our odd check-in time, and his cats were super cute :)
Excellent! Beautiful house & garden with an amazing view! Gregg is a very welcoming host. He gave us great tips on what to do during our stay. Thank you! The neighbourhood is really nice. There are lots of good restaurants nearby. It only takes a short walk to go to the Mission district where you'll find amazing Mexican food and fun bars.

Gregg's place was absolutely delightful! I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, easy, warm and friendly stay. A great human and a great host :)

Gregg's two cats, Buddy and Jake, were very friendly and fun to hangout with! Thanks for letting us have the full SF experience Gregg!
It was my pleasure! And thanks for all the yummy stuff in the refrig :)
Gregg is one of those incredible hosts every guest should have the chance to stay with. Thank you for making Francisco's trip incredible, and looking forward to working with you again soon!

Overall the interview process went well; however, their seems to be a lot of tension between the E&P and Midstream business units.

Guys, all of you, thank you. Im so appreciative of your support and if Ive inspired you to do the same. Without inspiration, youve got nothing.
And man, this article nearly brought me to tears. I dont even know what to say. When a life goal is achieved with something that you created yourself, there is really no greater feeling than that.
Last year, my wife and I visited the US. I had the goal of hitting the thrifts along the way and paying for the entire holiday. I am still selling off things I found last summer and ended up paying for about 90% of it. This year, I'm paying for the entire trip from my thrift account and my budget is considerably larger.
As anyone here knows, it's a lot of work to do this (if you're doing it right, that is), but it's great to see other people that have reached their goals. It helps me evaluate where I'm at, where I want to be, and put it all in perspective.

How to Make Blueberry Puree for Babies
Step 1: Select & Buy Blueberries
Ivee Stephens
Best for babies who are ready for multi-fruit or veggie purees, sweet-tart blueberries make a serendipitous match with sweet apple, pear, and banana purees. You can make blueberry puree with fresh or frozen berries; buy fresh in the summer and frozen the rest of the year for high-quality, affordable blueberries. When purchasing fresh blueberries, look for purple fruit that has uniform color and is free of nicks, bruises, and other blemishes. Since blueberries are part of the "dirty dozen" -- foods with the highest pesticide residue -- it's a good idea to buy organic. Half a cup of blueberries yields about four ounces of puree.
Step 2: Wash the Blueberries
Ivee Stephens
Wash blueberries with a mixture of three parts water and one part white vinegar to remove bacteria. Rinse under cool running water and dry.
Step 3: Steam the Blueberries if Underripe or Frozen
Ivee Stephens
If your blueberries are ripe, skip this step and move on to step 4. If you're working with blueberries that are underripe or are frozen, place the fruit in a steamer and cook for three minutes.
Step 4: Puree or Mash the Blueberries
Ivee Stephens
Drain blueberries and rinse with cold water for three minutes in a colander to stop the cooking process. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add water as needed to reach desired consistency.
For chunkier blueberry puree, which is ideal for babies 10 months or older, mash the blueberries with a potato masher instead of pureeing it.
Step 5: Serve Blueberry Puree
If blueberries are very sweet, serve puree plain. To introduce your baby to new textures and flavors, or to make the most of puree from more tart blueberries, mix the puree with sweeter fruit puree, oatmeal, or full-fat yogurt. Try mixing blueberry puree with:
Ivee Stephens
- Applesauce and cinnamon
- Pear
- Peach
- Banana
- Full-fat Greek yogurt
- Baby oatmeal
Step 6: Freeze Leftover Blueberry Puree
Ivee Stephens
If you steamed the blueberries, let the puree cool and then refrigerate leftovers in BPA-free containers for up to 3 days. Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in your refrigerator.
Note: Always check with your pediatrician before introducing your baby to a new food, particularly if your baby has food allergies. Additionally, some pediatricians do not recommend making your own carrot, beet, or spinach puree because these fresh veggies can be higher in nitrates.

How to Determine Septic Absorption Field Shape or LayoutDrainfields, also called leach fields, absorption beds, soil absorption systems, and leaching beds, perform the functions of septic effluent treatment and disposal in onsite wastewater treatment systems, conventionally called "septic systems". We discuss several different conventional soil absorption systems: absorption fields: conventional trench, deep trench, shallow trench, cut-and-fill, and gravelless septic systems. Then we discuss septic absorption beds, and seepage pits. Basic septic system designs are discussed beginning at SEPTIC SYSTEM DESIGN BASICS. Advanced & alternative septic treatment methods are discussed beginning at SEPTIC SYSTEM DESIGN ALTERNATIVES. Septic Field Shape or Layout Specifications: Septic Leach Field or Septic Absorption Field DesignThe shape or footprint, of a septic system drainfield or leaching bed is determined by the following considerations:
Once we know the total area of effluent disposal system needed, such as length in feet of gravel-filled perorated pipe trenches (or galleys or gravelless or whatever) then the septic system installer will excavate to prepare the drainfield in a pattern or shape that divides that length into sub-lengths of parallel (or other) trenches or pits or whatever, and the location, routing, etc. of these will be determined by the lot size and shape so that the necessary septic system components fit AND are separated by the reacquired distances from one another and from site boundaries and other site features like the well or buildings, driveways, and the like. The specific shape and dimensions for a specific property, soil characteristics, and septic system type can't really be specified precisely here since we know the detailed answers to the septic system drainfield design considerations listed above. But we have posted addition articles on septic system drainfield design that give the general septic system specifications that should be helpful. ...

Saturday, August 15
Chase Field
Attendance: None
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Gerardo Parra's RBI single in the 10th helped the Arizona Diamondbacks take a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second of three games between these NL West division rivals.
After Jonathan Broxton gave up back-to-back home runs in the ninth to Mark Reynolds and Miguel Montero to tie the game, Arizona grabbed the win in the 10th inning.
"It was one of our best wins of the year," Reynolds said. "Down two in the ninth, facing Broxton, (Montero and I) were able to put some good at-bats on him, and the rest of the guys came through in the 10th."
Ramon Troncoso (4-2) gave up a leadoff single to Augie Ojeda to start the frame and Dan Haren followed with a pinch-hit sacrifice bunt. Stephen Drew was then issued an intentional walk and Trent Oeltjen followed with a free pass to load the bases. Parra then roped a hit to center to score Ojeda and win the game.
Oeltjen drove in the other run while Montero finished the game 3-for-4 for the Diamondbacks, who have won four of their last five including the series opener, 4-1, on Friday.
Doug Davis lasted six innings in the start and was charged with three runs -- two earned -- on six hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Chad Qualls (2-1) got the win for throwing the 10th inning.
Brad Ausmus went 2-for-4 with an RBI and Rafael Furcal had two hits and a run scored for the Dodgers, who have dropped three straight and six of eight.
A scary injury happened in the game as Dodgers starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda was hit in the side of the head by a line drive in the sixth inning.
Pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal led off the inning and drilled a pitch right back to the mound. Kuroda had no time to react as the ball hit him on the right side of the head. He immediately collapsed to the dirt and grasped his head as teammates and medical staff rushed to his aide.
After several minutes, a brace was put on his neck to immobilize it before he was put onto a cart and wheeled off the field. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital for tests where a CT scan came back negative. He did raise his arms as he was loaded on to the cart and never lost consciousness and was not bleeding. He will be held overnight for observation.
"It was just scary to look at -- I didn't know what I was going to see," said Dodgers manager Joe Torre. "When I heard that ugly sound, the only thing I heard aside from that crack was (pitching coach Rick) Honeycutt saying, "oh no"...it was just shocking. It certainly caught everyone off guard."
Kuroda was charged with one run and three hits with a strikeout in his five- plus innings of work.
The Dodgers grabbed the lead in the second inning. Matt Kemp led off with a walk and, after Casey Blake struck out, Mark Loretta drew a walk. Orlando Hudson then flied out, but Ausmus tapped a single to right to bring home Kemp for a 1-0 lead.
In the fifth, Los Angeles tacked on another run. With one out, Furcal doubled and moved to third on an infield single from Andre Ethier. After Manny Ramirez fouled out and with Kemp at the plate, Davis' pickoff attempt went wide of first and Furcal crossed the plate.
Blake led off the sixth with a triple and came home when Loretta lofted a sacrifice fly to left for a 3-0 lead.
The Diamondbacks got a run back in the home sixth. After Ryal's liner back to the mound hit Kuroda in the head, which was ruled a ground-rule double, Drew singled off James McDonald. Oeltjen then lofted a fly ball to center that scored Ryal to make it a 3-1 game.
Broxton came on to close the game in the ninth and struck out Parra to start the frame, but Reynolds made it a one-run game with a home run to dead center. Montero then tied the game with a shot into the pool over the wall in right- center.

Terry - 26/12/2001
Interesting, and it was fun when first learned, but I got sick of it after a while. Certain parts of the dance were fun, but the rest of it was useless...you found yourself waiting for the "good" part to come around again, and got bored in between.

I had the pleasure of demoing this with Andrew & Simon at my club's Christmas party. Needless to say it was a very popular choice of track with some neat steps. Consequently I taught it to my class this week and they loved it. Well done lads! It just goes to show that a dance doesn't have to be full of complicated steps or danced at 180mph to be enjoyed! Good luck with it, chaps!
Helen "Hot Heels" D'Aguiar - 20/12/2001
Although this dance has been around for a while it is a lovely piece of music with some simple steps for those who don't want to use too much brain power. The dance fits really well to the music and is for all abilities. Nice one, lads!
Wendy J - 19/12/2001
Takes a couple of goes to get into the swing of things, but fantastic dance and music. WE LOVE IT1

Val Saunders. - 17/12/2001
This is one of the first dances we learnt with Di at Colchester Leisure Centre a few years ago. I loved it at the time but have found there are so many versions of it, it puts you off. It was a laugh at the time but things move on and how!!
Katie - 17/12/2001
Give me more like this one, it's my favourite one! not for the feint hearted.

- Get the Phoenix News iPhone App
- Get the Phoenix News Android App
- Get the Phoenix News BlackBerry App
3TV first launched the Phoenix News App on the iPhone in 2009. User input has driven a number of adjustments, additions, and improvements in this latest version. The new apps represent months of feedback and testing to bring a "next generation" application experience.
Users of the Android platform are getting their own Arizona news app for the first time, as are those who use a BlackBerry to keep tabs on e-mail and the Internet.
Each app is easy to find. You can either click one of the links above, or simply search "3TV" in your device's application store. Users of our old iPhone application will be prompted to download the new version from the app store in coming days.
- Live Webcam images from cameras across Arizona

Recent research from Comscore shows Google's Android platform is the fastest growing in the smart phone industry, coming within three percentage points of Apple's market share in September figures. Industry leader RIM and its BlackBerry platform is still on top, though it is steadily losing share according to Comscore. Another firm, Nielsen, says more people bought Android-platform phones from March through September than any other type of device.
The applications feature extensive news and weather options, as well as video, sports, blogs and more. Personalized weather conditions will change depending on your location, so if you take a road-trip to Tucson or hop a plane to New York, the app will give you the current traffic and weather conditions wherever you are.

The new applications expand our ability to get news, weather and big story coverage into your hands as quickly as possible.


text: This weekend I used my new setup with Jobo tank (2336 w/ 2021 reels) and Uniroller agitator for the first time and it most definitely is the very best thing since sliced bread. The 1/2 dozen Delta 100 4x5 sheets (my first-ever LF shots) came out just beautiful. It was a pleasant surprise that I had nothing to do while it happily rotated along all by itself. It was SO much easier than manual agitation and I am completely sold. The next item on the agenda is to get some adjustable reels for 35mm and 120. My advice to the OP - dump that FR tank and get some kind of roller. My particular setup can be duplicated for about $120.

Feline Diabetes Mellitus |
Diabetes Mellitus is a complex disorder that is not uncommon in cats (about 1 in 200 cats). Diabetes mellitus is a single process, but the underlying reasons it develops vary, and the effects on the body are many. If undiagnosed, it can lead to serious illness and even death. Insulin is the hormone that is affected in this disease. Insulin not only affects sugar processing in the body, it has an impact on protein and fat processing. This means that many parts of body metabolism are affected by diabetes! To understand diabetes it is necessary to have an understanding of how insulin works in the body. After a meal, insulin is secreted from the pancreas to help the body's tissues take up nutrients. If there is insufficient release of insulin, or if the tissues are not responding to the insulin, processing of nutrients is abnormal. Glucose remains in the bloodstream. This in part, results in cell starvation and is a part of the disease we call diabetes.Cats are different from people and dogs in that their pancreas responds to amino acids, not glucose for regulation of insulin release. In humans, the two most common types of abnormalities that lead to diabetes are classified according to this scheme: Type I: Absolute DeficiencyJuvenile onset, or insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in humans. It results in low blood insulin concentrations due to impaired insulin secretion from the pancreas because of destruction of insulin producing cells (immune system sees the cells as foreign). Treatment requires insulin injections. Type II: Functional DeficiencyNon-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM), or peripheral insulin resistance, which revolves around tissues that have stopped recognizing the insulin. It is more likely that type II diabetes can be managed with dietary therapy or oral medication (oral hypoglycemics). Unfortunately, these classifications are not always very helpful categories in cats because it is difficult to classify cats into Type I or Type II diabetes, especially early on in disease management. The majority of cats have insulin (Type II) resistance which means that the tissues ignore insulin signals. A chronic, mild, state of hyperglycemia (excess glucose in the blood stream) is an early sign. Over time, pancreas cells may lose some or all of their ability to produce any insulin, leading to type I (insulin dependent) diabetes. Therefore, although some cats in the early stages of the disease may not require insulin therapy, by the time the owner detects the disease and the veterinarian is consulted, the disease has sometimes progressed to Type I diabetes and the cat is unable to produce enough insulin on its own. Any age or sex of cat may become affected with diabetes, although most cats are over ten years of age when the disease is diagnosed. The most common risk factors for diabetes in cats are obesity, pancreatitis (an inflammatory disease of the pancreas), and a genetic predisposition (Burmese cats may be at higher risk). The use of some drugs, such as steroids, may also increase the risk of developing diabetes. Of these, obesity is the thought to be the most important, and is one of the few risk factors that is under the owner's control. Signs of DiabetesMost cats have increased thirst and urine production, decreased appetite, depression, and an unkempt coat. Sudden or gradual weight loss may also occur. One of the most common complaints from owners is that their cats are urinating outside the litter box, or that a once hearty eater is now picking at his food. Diagnosis of DiabetesIf the veterinarian suspects diabetes mellitus, blood and urine samples will be taken. The blood is tested for the level of glucose, and the urine is tested for the presence of glucose, ketones, and infection. Some cats may become very anxious at the time the blood sample is taken and may develop " stress-induced hyperglycemia". This is an elevation of blood glucose caused by stress, and not an underlying disease. This can make interpretation of results a challenge, so if there is any doubt, an additional sample of blood will be sent to a laboratory to run a fructosamine concentration. A high level means that there is persistent high sugar levels in the cat, and will help confirm the diagnosis. Complications of DiabetesOnce the cells cannot take glucose and other key nutrients into the tissues, there is an increased delivery of fatty acids to the liver, which subsequently produces "ketone bodies" which can rarely result in a state known as Diabetic Ketoacidosis. This is an unusual complication, but is life threatening. As the complication progresses dehydration, vomiting, increased respiratory rate, coma, and possibly death may all be a consequence. The liver becomes fatty, and in an obese cat, this can be a difficult complication to manage all on its own. Cataracts are a common complication of diabetes in people and dogs, but are less common in cats. Diabetic neuropathy, a condition where there is reduced nerve function is also sometimes seen, and development of a dropped hind limb stance, termed a "plantigrade stance" is a common sign of this problem. The cat literally walks on his hocks. Note that the female hormones can adversely affect diabetes, so once she is stable, it is best to have a diabetic female cat spayed. TreatmentMany Type II diabetic cats will respond to dietary changes—a low carbohydrate, high protein diet will allow adequate control for about 58% of cats. Of those still requiring insulin injections, being on this type of diet will help lower the dose of insulin needed to obtain control. Chromium is a dietary supplement that may favor normalization of metabolism and is sometimes added into the regimen. Oral hypoglycemics are a class of drug often used for human diabetics. In cats, these drugs have variable efficacy and it can take up to a month to see improvement. A portion of cats do not respond and need insulin for relief. Most cats require longer acting insulin formulations, and sometimes, dose or formulation source may have to be adjusted before good control is achieved. A newer type of insulin called glargine is being used in a limited fashion but is not licensed for use in cats yet. Canned food is preferable to kibbles since making the kibble requires additional carbohydrates. Specific diets formulated by Hill's Pet Nutrition and Purina for example, provide excellent balance of protein and carbodydrates for afflicted cats. Home monitoring of diabetic cats can be tailored to meet the needs of the particular patient, but recent evidence shows that using a small ear prick and a human glucose meter provides excellent blood glucose readings since the cat is less stressed in the home environment. Make sure you know what to do if you administer insulin, and if the cat becomes weak, and perhaps even collapses or has seizures. This can indicate low blood sugar and is an emergency. Karo syrup on the gums, and a prompt trip to the veterinarian are indicated. With proper care, a diabetic cat can live a relatively normal life.

Why Whitewave Foods (WWAV) Was Upgraded
Story updated at 9:40 a.m. to reflect market activity.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Whitewave Foods (WWAV - Get Report) was upgraded to "market perform" from "underperform" by BMO Capital.
Whitewave Foods gained 1.5% to $26.50 Friday.
The firm raised its price target for the company to $24 from $19. The firm said that Whitewave Foods' growth outlook is improving.
Analyst Amit Sharma wrote, "We are upgrading WWAV to Market Perform as solid consumption trends in WWAV's key categories coupled with modest, if any, margin impact from the California drought significantly weakens our bearish investment thesis. Though organic sales growth is expected to slow from double-digit levels, deceleration likely will be less than our expectations and should be overshadowed by sales contribution from the recent Earthbound Farms acquisition." ------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates WHITEWAVE FOODS CO (THE) as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate WHITEWAVE FOODS CO (THE) (WWAV) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the growth in the company's net income has been quite unimpressive." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, WWAV's share price has jumped by 40.23%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame.
- WWAV's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.0%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- When compared to other companies in the Food Products industry and the overall market, WHITEWAVE FOODS CO (THE)'s return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- WHITEWAVE FOODS CO (THE)'s earnings per share declined by 6.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.72 versus $0.31).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed against the S&P 500 and did not exceed that of the Food Products industry. The net income has decreased by 7.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $26.29 million to $24.29 million.

THE EATBEAT: Finding good food is trick to traveling
It's a good idea to stop at Perkins if you are traveling through North Platte, Neb., during breakfast time.
I can tell you for sure Highway 83 going north has little by way of meals to offer along the way. You always know what you are getting at Perkins. The restaurant is pretty much the same as in Bemidji, Bismarck or Jamestown, N.D.

We Did It! Liz Mathis has won the special election in Senate District 18 with 56% of the vote, edging out her opponent Cindy Golding and ensuring that the pro-equality majority in our state Senate is safe. The majority of Senate District 18 Iowans support a candidate who will fight for the issues that will help move our state forward. One Iowa played an instrumental role in this victory and we are proud to work with Liz on her victory. Since the special election was announced, we identified nearly 1,000 marriage supporters in the district, logged almost 900 volunteer hours, signed up over 250 pro-equality voters to vote early, and made more than 12,000 phone calls to voters in the district.
This was a huge task and we knew from the beginning that this would be a tough race. Thank you to our amazing volunteers, supporters, and allies who made this possible. We could not have done this without you!
Session is only two short months away. We know you have helped so much, but will you help us again? Donate today to help ensure we can support Sen. Mathis and the fair-minded majority stand up for gay and lesbian Iowans. We need you! Donate today to continue to protect marriage equality in Iowa.

Jerry and Sherron Goddard are still getting used to their new home on Cemetery Lane.
"Strange," Jerry said about his surroundings.
The structure is in the same location where the Goddards have lived together for more than 30 years. Their original home was destroyed in a fire in December 2013. Instead of moving, the Goddards decided to rebuild. They moved into the new home last fall.
Sherron echoed her husband's sentiments about the place.
School is cancelled in Roane County on Thursday. Director of School Gary Aytes announced the decision a few minutes ago.
The National Weather Service in Morristown has issued a winter storm watch for March 5 in Roane County.
Director of Schools Gary Aytes said early Wednesday afternoon that no decision had been made thus far about canceling school for Thursday, but he and other officials are monitoring the weather situation.
"We will definitely make a decision by 5:30 in the morning," Aytes said. "We've already determined we're not waiting any later than 5:30 the morning of, but hopefully we'll be able to make a decision tonight."
What started as a seat-belt infraction ended up as a trip to jail for District 2 County Commissioner Greg Ferguson.
He was arrested on Monday in Midtown on charges of driving under the influence.
"I don't know the circumstances," Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton said. "The captain of the patrol division called and told me that THP had arrested one of our commissioners."
According to the warrant, Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Alexander Evans stopped Ferguson for a seat-belt violation.
Christopher Lee Powers appeared in Roane County General Sessions Court on Monday on charges stemming from his Feb. 9 encounter with police.
Roane County Sheriff's Deputy John Mayes shot Powers multiple times after Powers allegedly rammed his cruiser at the Interstate 40 Airport Road Exit ramp. The grand jury cleared Mayes of any wrongdoing on Feb. 23.
Smoke from Small Fires is a fictitious memoir set in rural East Tennessee and written by a Rockwood author.
In it, happily off-tilt characters, bizarre events and a gamut of emotions stack up like a collage layered thick with compelling details.
Anne Powers is a lifelong fine artist who became "the accidental writer."
Riven from her studio by circumstance with only a laptop for company, bits of word and story ended up layered like collage into a highly visual writing style.
The Ninth Judicial District's court schedule was drastically changed by the wintery weather the last two weeks.
"We adjusted Roane County grand jury well enough, but it has thrown Criminal Court trial docket in Morgan County and our non-jury cases on Roane County into disarray," said District Attorney General Russell Johnson.
According to Johnson's office, this has resulted in the rescheduling of 22 cases set for jury trial.
Among the cases were State vs. Albert Phillips, charged with second-degree murder.
Roane County Sheriff's Deputy John Mayes is off paid administrative leave.
"He returned to work Friday," Chief Deputy Tim Phillips confirmed.
Mayes had been on administrative leave since Feb. 9. He was cleared for return to duty after the grand jury determined he acted appropriately in shooting Christopher Lee Powers.
The Feb. 9 shooting happened at the Interstate 40 Airport Road Exit ramp. According to an addendum to the grand jury report, Powers spun out at the exit ramp and his vehicle was pointed at Mayes.
The Roane County Democratic Party will elect new leaders during a county leadership convention at noon March 21 in Rockwood City Hall at 110 N. Chamberlain Ave.
The convention is open to any bona fide Democrat who lives in Roane County.
Roane County Democrats will elect a new chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer of the county executive committee for a two-year term.
Members will also discuss the Democratic Party's agenda and events for 2015.
U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Office Manager Larry Kelly died on Feb. 26. He was 58.
"Words cannot describe the sadness we feel with the passing of Larry," said Kevin Hall, the office's deputy manager.
"The loss of our leader is heavy on our hearts, but it is the loss of a friend that leaves an emptiness that will be difficult to endure. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Rubenia, and daughter, Kristyn."

Apple 'To Buy Dr Dre's Beats Firm For $3.2bn'
Apple is set to buy headphone maker Beats Electronics for $3.2bn (£1.9bn), it has been reported.
The Financial Times says the deal could be announced as early as next week, marking Apple's largest ever acquisition.
Founded by rapper and music producer Dr Dre and fellow music producer Jimmy Iovine in 2008, the firm produces 'Beats by Dr Dre' headphones and also runs a music streaming service.
Beats Electronics received a $500m (£295m) investment from Carlyle Group last September, valuing the company at more than $1bn.
It has been reported that Apple is contemplating a Spotify-like on-demand music service.
Some technology analysts have speculated that the purchase plans are motivated by acquiring Beats' streaming arm rather than the headphones division.
Apple is sitting on a $133bn (£78bn) cash pile, and chief executive Tim Cook has said the firm has "no problem" with spending large sums of money to acquire top companies.
Apple and Beats have not commented on the reports.
However, in a video posted by singer Tyrese Gibson, Dr Dre boasts that he is "the first billionaire in hip hop".
He then laughs as Gibson says: "Billionaire boys club for real, homie. The Forbes list just changed."
Dre, a former member of NWA, compared his company to Apple in an interview in 2011.
He said: "We're trying to eventually be second to Apple. And I don't think that's a bad position."

I thought after my last journal, I should clarify my position on the whole GSP dealy.
I think his statements on the extent of his copyrights are just wrong. Hilariously wrong.
On the other hand, I think his statements about his grandiose position in palaeontological art are true, especially if we consider dinosaurs. His influence is vast, as an excursion into the galleries of nearly all of you will attest. I even think the he is more influential, and better, than Charles Knight (gasp!).
I've never understood this reverence for Knight. It's like every time he's mentioned, we have to reaffirm him being the best palaeoartist of all time hallowedbehisnameamen. Horseshit. Knight sometimes drew living animals and mammals very carefully, but he was frequently lazy and cartoonish with his dinosaurs. As for his painting prowess, yeah sure the guy could paint, but compared to his influences in the late nineteenth century he was--at best--dull. He had a mediocre feeling for light, fussy uninspired brushwork, sometimes awkward posing, and very conventional compositions. Not that he didn't have him moments, but Greg's claim to be his equal or better is certainly plausible.*
So, yes, I think Grey can be silly, but making fun of his hubris flies in the face of how most of us have approached this whole palaeontology thing. Yes, he's an arrogant fuck. But shit, so what?
*To continue on the theme of Knight bashing, I think Doug Henderson is clearly better than him too.
