Portsmouth overdose death exposes some weaknesses in combating drug problems
Friday, February 1, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — A 22-year-old woman paid just $45 for the heroin that killed her in November.
Undercover informants are one way Deputy Police Chief Corey MacDonald said law enforcement is able to reduce drug sales and use in the city.
"This is more like a challenge to educate our young adults to make healthy drug-free choices," he wrote. The way to do that, he said, is by suppressing demand, or arresting drug dealers publicly, and showing children the true costs of drug addiction.
In Rockingham Superior Court, Judge Nadeau began the Drug Court "and that helps users kick their habit and avoid prison."

"In these small and intimate discussions within humble settings, students and
prisoners participate in something very real and very alive. ... The ECI group
discussions remind us that philosophizing is not [an] academic practice with
little or no relevance to the common person. Each and every person who
participates in this program actively engages with others in ways that could not
be anticipated. It is a wonderful program, and it has changed my life"

"[It is in] brief moments, when I am not only a twenty-some year old college
student talking with a twenty-some year old inmate about Socrates, Gandhi,
Shakespeare, Poe, King or Dostoevsky, when I am not ... teaching, but learning
the truth, that this program affirms its value. The ECI program [allowed me] the
opportunity to discuss ... subjects such as freedom, bondage, violence, and non-violence ... with individuals for whom they are imminent situations, [and] has
been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life."

I want to build a simple web application (wgt) which can play a rtsp live stream. How do I begin to build a aplication which can play rtsp live stream/ video usiing Nokia web tools etc.
You should have all that you need in this thread:
But before you start coding, make sure that the stream is supported in your target devices. To do this, make a web page with a link to those streams and try opening streams one by one and see if the play correctly.
isalento infact Iam the the same person who posted that query about playing video too
Now please solve my query .
Did you try if the streams work on actual device?
If they don't work, then it is impossible to make such an application.
I dont have any s40 device. Iam testing my app only on the simulator and RDA . But RDA is not supporting playing rtsp stream when tried on RDA.
I tested the Yupp streams in my devices as well and they did not work.
So I'm sorry to say, but streams in question will not work on Series 40 devices
Below is SDP information of the rtsp://cdn.m.yuppcdn.net/liveorigin/saharamp3 stream (Fun Asia Low)
profile-level-id says what the stream is. 42C0 identifies it as a baseline profile for H264, but the level (1E) says that it is level 3.0, which is not supported.
Level 2.0 would safe bet to use with S40 FT devices, supporting streaming.

Last edited by isalento; 2012-11-19 at 12:42. Reason: more info
Ok Ilkka leave it then plz inform me which type of steams can be played and How the video in basic NewsReader
application is played ?
Level 2.0 would safe bet to use with S40 FT devices, supporting streaming.? ?
Streaming support varies over the devices, but common base could be 3GPP container using H.263 or MPEG-4 SP (level 45) codecs/profiles.
In some devices H264 Base Profile (level 2.0) is also supported. AAC for audio.
Anyhow the best bet is to just to use actual device to test, if stream in question works.
There are so many combinations out there, that all of those cannot be listed.
Isalento can u give me the idea of playing a video in the NewsReader s40 web app.
Can rtsp live streams be played on s40 devices in web apps or .wgts etc?
Once you find a compatible stream, it is just as simple as opening the stream address with either video or using mwl.loadURL("rtsp://_yourstream_url_");.
In either case browser launches the native video player, which in turn handles the playback.
thank u very muck lkka . AS I dont have one s40 device can u please check one url for me on the device.
Simulator does'nt have the feature to play video it seems.

They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games-Casey Stengel
Wild Turkey 101. Hadn't had this in some years and was much impressed by the current iteration. Rye-forward, on the dry side, synergistic with rocks to the max. A classic.
Very healthy pour of ETL in honor of the legend! This is still one of my favorites.
Nice pour of Blantons while toasting Mr. Lee.

A pour of ETL tonight.

Rule #1: Chores first. As life around this house has been crazy busy over the past week, I finally took down the bunting from July 4th.
One of the chores was to rotate a few winter-time bottles from the cabinet bar down to the basement (strong, chewy, contemplative, or peaty whiskies need to slumber until at least after Labor Day). Up from the basement came a liter of OGD BiB and EWSB vintage 2003, both ready to be cracked open.
DW is off at a business function, so I felt free to have a pour while making dinner. I love the EWSB 2003; the gentle oaky note goes well with a gen-u-wine New York City sesame bagel and a couple of hard-boiled eggs from the dozen that a co-worker gave me.
After dinner, I'm right now enjoying OGD BiB on rocks and contemplating having a piece of Italian-style pastry from the box that was left as a thank you by last weekend's houseguests. If I'd read SB.com a few minutes earlier, it'd be ETL, but instead, I'll finish the evening with a pour in memory of the man. A toast to a long and full life!
Had some Elmer T Lee. Then moved to Larceny and then finished off the remaining Black Maple Hill and then the last of the Rittenhouse Rye - - sweet Jesus finishing off two bottles in one night. Selah. "Henry whatever will I do?" Buy more she said, buy more.
Elmer T Lee tonight.

We sadly said goodbye to our wonderful summer interns last week. To thank them for their three months of hard work on new eCards, eBooks & more, we came together and shared tacos, drinks, and memories. We also awarded them with superlatives! Here's a selection of some of the best:
-Dana: "Are you gonna eat that?"; Most Likely To Animate Like It's Nobody's Business. For her unwavering dedication to hand-drawn animation, and also sharks.
-Jeremy: Yoga King; Token Canadian Award. For his ability to execute every yoga pose ever, and animate like a champion.
-Jason: Town Sheriff; Best Hair Champion Since, Like, Forever. For being a hipster that we totally like, and for his artistic bad-assery.
-Jacob: Mr Tibbles Official Fan Club President; Most Likely To Be Called Jason, Too. For his ability to wear a different Duke shirt every day despite never having gone there, and his ability to stand tall under pressure!
Although we won't be seeing their faces around the office any longer we will sure keep in touch and admire their creative talents from afar!

Thread: How many characters is too many?
September 17th, 2012, 01:50 AM #46
Tbh, I think head hopping it what people use to describe omni done badly - that is popping in and out of heads so fast the reader's neck gets whiplash. Or done confusingly, so the reader can't be sure whose head they are in at any given point. It's not moving from one head to the other that's a problem. It's doing it badly.
Omni feels like it should be easy, and it is easy, to an extent. It's harder to get right though, harder to do well.
Look at say Prachett. His Discworld books are all in omni, and it's something of a masterclass. You always know whose head you are in, and are always aware that the voice is of the narrator (a vital part of omni). If he switches from one person to another in a scene, it is done with maximum finesse, seamless, and it's not just a quick jump. It's never confusing (unlike that book I read where the POV shifted three times in two short sentences, leaving me with a 'huh? Who...what?' feeling. That's headhopping)
September 17th, 2012, 01:53 PM #47
That being said, you can do an omniscient format and not use head-hopping. You can do pretty much anything in omniscient. But you can use a more limited set of techniques -- third person limited -- or first person, etc., if you don't want to mess with omniscient techniques. There isn't one way that's better at handling big casts than another.
September 17th, 2012, 02:08 PM #48
I think Pratchett's a bit of an odd example.
He doesn't use chapters (in his adult Discworld books, at least) and tends to stick to a few PoVs for the most part. The reason it works is he gives each character a distinct identity and makes the fringe PoVs interesting and relevant.
Even with all the silliness and stuff, Sir Pratchett is an incredibly efficient author. The same cannot be said about Beardy Martin.

In the end, you have to do what the story demands in order to be told. And during the first draft, you just do whatever seems natural as it comes out. The end product, after revision, will likely have little resemblance to the first draft. Secondary PoV characters may get merged, deleted, altered, rewritten. Entire subplots will appear and disappear. It may change from 3rd to 1st, back to 3rd, limited, omni, or both. The main character you start with may even get dropped in favour of a character that at first seemed minor, but ends up being the truly strong character in the story.
In the first draft, just write what needs to be written. Others will tell you what's not working, and provided you're willing to listen and experiment, you will sort it out.

If you write omni, read it, research it. Know that you are basically telling the story from a viewpoint, it just isn't one of the characters (well, usually). Give your narrator a voice (even if it blends into the background, YOU should know the voice, voice is super important in omni, even if no one else ever sees it The narrators voice is what holds the whole book together.)
Same as other POVs . Be aware that it is, possibly, the hardest POV to pull off well.
September 18th, 2012, 02:01 AM #52
I think that a story can have as many POV characters as it can stand. That said, I think that every story has to focus on a limited number. I've been plodding through the unabridged Les Miserables. A huge cast of characters (not to mention any number of long side tracks), but over all there were a limited number that he dwelled on for any length of time. Others came an went as needed. Overall the exact number doesn't matter, it is how many are up in the air at any one time that you have to concentrate on. Not every POV requires that you concentrate, sometimes they can be just to provide information.
Great stories can have one POV character or twenty, but there are always going to be major ones and minor ones and a good writer will keep the balance to keep the reader's interest. I've heard a lot of people comment on Jordan and how he started to lose sight of the balance. He started with a large cast and he just made it bigger rather than letting some drop off when he added new ones. I have a friend who went on and on about this. Les Miserables is a good example of keeping the balance. There are a lot overall, but only a handful in any section.
September 18th, 2012, 10:34 AM #53
Again, processing multiple povs is not particularly hard for readers to do. If omniscient were hard for readers, Lord of the Rings wouldn't be quite the big deal that it has been. But if the OP is worried about having too many pov characters, I don't think the inclusion of an omniscient narrator as the way to structure that text is the direction desired. Third person limited would probably serve. For what Erikson was doing, however, nothing but an omniscient set of techniques was going to work. Big fantasy stories or SF stories can be done in any type of format. The choice has a lot to do with how the author wants to think about the story, and as Fung pointed out, you may end up completely changing formats between first draft and final.

The war gate now free!
Welcome to THE WAR GATE, a paranormal romance/thriller. FREE FOR TWO DAYS ON KINDLE, Sept 25th and the 26th.
Tag Line: Through a miraculous conception, Avalon Labrador must give birth to herself before she is executed, to solve her husband's murder and her own wrongful conviction.
When the reincarnated Avy Labrador is kicked out of her stepfather's house on her 18th birthday, she has no idea that the man who raised her framed her mother to cover his murder so he could acquire a major software empire. Now, years later, with the help of her magician boyfriend, Sebastian, Avy is about to discover that her birth was otherworldly and for a purpose. The ancient Roman God Janus was so appalled by the heinous murder of Tom Labrador by his brother Drake that he opened up a War Gate. Avy has received half of her mother's soul light and half of a God's essence. Her mission is to put the real killer behind bars. The only catch: she must learn to "Gate-Walk", that's time traveling to the layman. She soon finds out that she is a drunk driver on the space/time continuum super highway.
"This was a solidly written tale with a trace of fantasy and complex thought used in defining the concept of leaping from one time gate to the next—excellent job of structuring."
Terrie G, Bitten by Books, 4 out of 5.
"The War Gate is a captivating book. Mystery, magic and the paranormal blend together in a perfect mix. I would thoroughly recommend this book to fantasy enthusiasts who also like romance.

It is not only relaxing but it helps me start my day stress-free and finish the day prepared for a restful night's sleep. The scenery is beautiful and Madeleine is very likable. June 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MyHealthCoachLaura This DVD is GREAT!! So thankful I purchased this DVD. Less than a year ago I had back spasms that brought me to tears with pain & caused me to miss work for an entire week. This DVD, along with continued chiropractic care, has saved my career as a Dental Hygienist. I will most likely order another copy for myself & recommend it almost daily to family, friends & patients. I try not to miss a day, especially the PM Stretch. Highly recommend the purchase. February 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by moonfire Great Stretch I originally purchased this video about 6 years ago at a retail outlet for my chronic lower back pain caused by spinal stenosis. I originally used it on rare occasion because it is hard to talk myself into anything when my pain is so intense. Finally about 4 years ago I had decided to lose weight and began doing the A.M. Stretch every other day and very quickly noticed a difference so since then I have used it 4-5 times a week and not only did it help to stimulate my metabolism and make me more active to help with the weight loss that I did successfully but it also seems to be an essential for reducing the pain in my back. I have been so pleased with it that I was happy to see (after inquiring with Customer Service) that they still had it available and now on DVD. I just purchased it for my girlfriend that complains of stiffness. I think she is going to love it too. I highly recommend it! August 4, 2011

On New Year's Day, one of music's great legends, Patti Page, passed away. Page (née Clara Ann Fowler), the best-selling female artist of the 1950s, died at the age of 85 in Encinitas, Calif. But while the beloved singer departed, her music continues to carry on her memory.
STORY: In Memoriam: Stars We Lost in 2012
In 1950, Page, also known as "The Singin' Rage," scored her first million-selling single, "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming." And between 1950 and 1965, she had 14 more successful singles. But Page is most well-know for her hit "Tennessee Waltz," which she recorded in 1950. This song alone is one of the top-selling singles of the 20th century and is one of Tennessee's nine state songs. Page also had three other top singles: "All My Love (Bolero)," "I Went to Your Wedding," and "(How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window."
Check out some of Page's greatest hits below to pay tribute to the deceased star.

The game is set in the fantasy world of Fomalhaut where players must defeat their enemies, complete quests and ultimately grow stronger.

This game is being picked up by a new publisher – Eonic Gaming
Turf Battles Overview
Turf Battles is a fast paced fantasy MMORPG with an emphasis on PvP combat. Players can literally attack each other openly anywhere in the game world after reaching level 40. One thing to keep in mind though – the game was originally released in 2003, so the visuals won't be on par with newer games like Atlantica Online and Runes of Magic. Those looking for a PvP game should quickly fall in love with Turf Battles, as the entire game practically revolves around PvP. Players can form guilds and control entire regions of the game (called turfs) for themselves. The game's five playable classes are:
Human Blade Warrior – Blade warriors are the most effective 'tanks' in Turf Battles. They have extremely high defensive capabilities and far more hitpoints than most classes. Even though blade warriors are the best tanks in the game, they also pack quite a powerful punch in melee combat.
Human Fist Warrior – Fist warriors, like blade warriors, are primarily a melee oriented class. The only difference between them and blade warriors is that fist warriors sacrifice some defensive capabilities for maximum damage, making them the most deadly melee class in the game.
Human Red Mage – Red mages are the most powerful offensive spell casting class in Turf Battles. They are capable of dealing large amounts of damage with their fire spells from a distance, but are incredibly weak in melee combat, as they have low defense and hitpoints.
Nephilim Archer – Archers are the only class in Turf Battles with a long range physical attack. They don't have nearly as much armor as a blade warrior but much more than a red mage. They are the most agile class in the game and can actually attack their target while moving, making them an incredibly tough opponent.
Nephilim Blue Mage – Blue mages play a lot like red mages, with only a few distinct differences the main one being blue mages have access to more supportive skills than their red mage counterparts. Like the red mage, blue mages have very low hit points and defense but powerful magical attacks.

Turf Battles Review
By, Erhan Altay
Turf Battles is a MMORPG with a lively past. Originally developed by the Korean studio SmileGate back in 2002, the game boasted open PvP and a unique guild battle system that gained it a small but loyal following across Asia and even in the US. The game was shut down several years ago, but a successful player driven petition convinced Aeria Games to pick up the license. After several rounds of closed beta and 'stress' testing which lasted over a year, Turf Battles finally entered open beta in March 2010.
Blast From the Past
At around 1.3 GB, the client sized is manageable but the game's age makes it self apparent right at the options screen. There are only three supported resolutions with 1280×1024 being the highest. Character creation is equally sobering. Jagged polygons make the character models look like something from the early Playstation 2 era. There are two races to chose from: Human, and the Elf-like Nephilim. Humans three classes options, Fist Warrior, Blade Warrior, and Red Mage while Nephilim can be Archers or Blue Mages. Players don't have to worry about job changes or starting as novices in Turf Battles. The classes are simple, but there are multiple ways of customizing them as players advance.
No Hand Rails
Each race starts in a different location. Veros is the homeland of the Nephilim while Ladianes is location of the human capital. Generally the human starting map is far more populated and is actually the preferred grinding spot for both races. Turf Battles was developed before World of Warcraft made quests and the iconic '!' a standard MMORPG feature. While there are quests available, they are not a major gameplay element. NPCs are marked on the mini map, but there's no good way to discern which have quests available. New players will have the option to run a short tutorial quest line by activating an item that starts in their inventory. For the most part, this quest simply asks players to talk to various NPCs around town. After this, players are on their own. The game's interface is dated, but simple to figure out. Attacks and spells can be assigned to the left and right mouse buttons, similar to the system used in Diablo 2.
Fast, but Long
Experience gain in Turf Battles is fast paced, but considering the level cap is 300 that's not too surprising. Monsters are color coded for difficulty ranging from blue (easy), to orange (difficult) to red (hard.) Players should stick to killing monsters whose names appear in orange for ideal experience gain. The ranged, and especially the mage, classes generally level faster and are ideal for beginners. Each level gained will earn the character 10 stat points that can be freely distributed among 3 physical stats (strength, dexterity, vitality), and five magic stats (blue, yellow, red, white, black.) The sum of a character's magic stats represents their 'magic attribute' score which, along with physical stats, serves as a prerequisite for equipment and skills in the game. With a total of eight stats to distribute points among, new players can easily get confused. An 'auto-assign' button is available on the character menu, but it never provides an optimal distribution. Players looking for a good build can visit the official wiki which provides templates for all classes to follow. The two mage classes, for example, do not need to put any points in vitality until high level. Unfortunately, the auto-assign feature isn't aware of this.
What to Do?
Environments in Turf Battles are expansive. Players will do plenty of running both between grind spots and to and from towns. There's even an NPC that grants players below level 70 a speed buff. But while those zones are large, there are very few of them. There are in total nine maps, and several of those are much smaller than the two starting zones. It won't take long to hit level 20, which is when players are expected to move past their starting map. Movement between zones is a bit odd in Turf Battles; players must talk to specific NPCs that teleport them. The next marker is at level 30 when players can get a pet. There's a short quest involved which tasks players with finding an egg off either Orcs or Muddle Keepers then using a special item on the egg to hatch it.
Ready for Battle
Starting at level 40, players can star to participate in what is considered Turf Battles' defining feature. PvP. Players are free to attack one another, but they will suffer increasing penalties if they are the aggressor. As a character PKs others they will lose reputation, and their name will turn red. Going red will prevent players from using NPC shops and will even lower their character's attack power and defense in future PvP encounters. Kill enough players and HP/MP regen also decrease, and killers will start dropping equipment upon death. There are several activities which restore reputation including hunting monster, and resting in safe zones. There are also two battle arenas, and a small 'soccer field' outside Ladianes Village which acts as a free-for-all arena where no penalties are applied. Organized PvP options between tribes (guilds) are also available. Tribes can go to war with each other or fight for control of five islands which each have their own level range. Aeria has put a lot of work into this new Turf Battles service, but whether it will find a large audience remains to be seen.
Final Verdict: Fair
Turf Battles is a dated MMORPG that has been brought back from the dead. Veterans are the main target audience, Turf Battles is unlikely to attract many new players with its archaic graphics, interface, and gameplay. Fans of PvP oriented MMORPGs may also want to give Turf Battles a look.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I received a phone call late at night several months ago from a respected and beloved colleague. This gentleman is someone others often turn to for help and guidance.
The phone call was to seek medical help for a family member. But it was also a chance for my colleague to explain that he was in a long-term psychiatric hospital being treated for depression, anxiety, insomnia and chemical dependency.
My colleague had suffered a number of major disappointments within a short time and wasn't able to bounce back. In poor health, he was simply unable to marshal that inner strength to deal with the setbacks.
This gentleman shared with me that at first he hadn't realized the depth of his challenges but that it eventually became clear to him that he couldn't go it alone. He was optimistic that with professional help and guidance he would be back to his previous level of functioning.
So this is a powerful wake-up call for us. If we continue to push the envelope, if we continue to burn the candle on both ends and if we insist on soldiering on alone, the consequences may be serious, even life-threatening, for us and our loved ones.

my dad has problem he's 53 years old, he had three neck surgery in Germany, and 2 back "spine" surgery.
now he feels a numbness start from the back of his head down to his neck, then he feels warm and hot so suddenly and he sweat a lot, and he feel tired for long time after that.
and the heat wave and tiredness come to him at any time and suddenly, while driving, usual gardening, sitting, walking, and so on, he suffer also from stiff neck and back.
i wonder what is going on with him?
can you please help me
I was wondering how many underlying mental health conditions can patients be diagnosed with? Also, why do clinicians have to write every single thing a person talks about into a patient's file? I have copies of my records and one of the notes in it states that there are "copious notes" elsewhere about me.
Is there any recourse if a persons' psychiatric records have been shared with other staff and then these staff members make insulting comments about the person in front of other patients? I have outstanding grades from college and have worked several years; but I am not sure if a doctor or Social Worker had something against me and so they wrote something horrible about me or what?!?!
Do the psychiatric tests given to individuals truly show what a person is suffering from or not? My personal experience from psychiatric test results has been less than favorable.
My name is Starla. On May 15th just after Midnight my step-brother committed suicide. He did this with a single gun shot to the temple of his head. He had just turned 17 and had his entire life ahead of him. To make it easy to understand I will make a long story short. Brandon had three houses he lived at. 1 was with his mother. 1 was with his father (My Step-dad which made Brandon my step-brother) and 1 with his grandmother. Brandon was a typical teenager, he played video games, ate candy, hated chores, and did not like school. Don't get me wrong he was very smart. Brandon liked to wear jeans, a t-shirt with a long sleeve flannel and a beanie hat even in the hot summer sun. On the day of the 15th after Brandon was Life-Flighted from our town to OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University) doctors preformed tests to see if his brain could function. It was determined that his brain had 1% function and was clinically brain dead. The family had made the decision to allow OHSU to harvest his organs for donation. Today May 17th at 5:05a.m. the doctors were finished and turned off life support and it hit me that he was really gone and that he was not coming for his usual weekend visit. Brandon would stay with us every other weekend and 60 days in the summer. I feel very LOST and confused. I am 28 if it matters. I don't understand why he could have done this and I don't know what to do. My family is torn apart and nobody has answers and everyone especially Brandon's dad is all over
Alanon and Families Anon. have meetings all over
this country ans many others. Both use the 12
steps and AA as their base , and other parents
and siblings of alcoholics and/or addicts share
their experience, strength and hope. They work.
I don't know what to do anymore. My son has been addicted to Meth for 20 years. He has been in and out of rehabs, usually not finishing any of them. He has lost his wife, kids & home, and is now back in prison again. His longest stay in prison was 5 years, but that didn't stop him from going back to meth. I have always tried to support him and help him with his addiction, but he just lies and tells me what I want to hear. I keep informed about this addiction, and usually they say something triggers the addiction, like a childhood trauma, which my son denies. Now people have told me to do the tough love, so I have not visited him since he went back to prison in february, but it hurts. So what I am asking, is the tough love the way to go or should I still be supporting him?
I have been looking for help for a deep depression I have had for a while now due to a drug addiction problem I have with my daughter. She is 28 now. I don't know exactly when she started but more obvious it has been for the last 4 years. Wherever I turn to I notice is not help , there is only a bill for the insurance, a limited time to sort of listen, a prescription, and a next appointment. The root of the problem continues to be mine... I cannot help my daughter, seeing her like that I cannot get well. Where do I go? Who does really cares?
This is for Thelma. My dear I empathise with your pain and sadness. I married in 1971. In 2008 my husband had a massive seizure and was diagnosed with mestastatic melanoma in the brain. His oncologist told him to go home and put his affairs in order. His prognosis was three months. God healed him, however in February a small brain tumour was detected and in August a MRI found another five. He is unwell now but refuses to give in. Further treatment is not an option. Like you I have been grieving for a long time. While an attitude of gratitude goes a long way, I encourage you to seek professional help for depression. You need healing. It is not a case of masking the pain. I could not manage without. You see, when you are blessed with a happy marriage and you become one, when your partner is dying, the single part that is you, dies a little everyday too.
I suffer with emetophobia and have done for the past 20 years. My fear is afraid of choking to death of my own vomit. Please reassure me this isnt possible if you are perfectly healthy, not drunk, unconconcious and have full control of your body.
Can you have withdrawl symtoms after taking only one ativan for the first time (1mg)
It seems even when you know you need help and you have asked for it, the further people go away from you. My husband took his life may 2004. I moved home to care for my mom, who is 91 now totally bedridden, I feed her change her, and now have her in hospice? But where are they I've asked my siblings for help or more just support. My eldest sister came today for about 30 minutes. She came day before yesterday about the same. We had a family meeting with the doctor and hospice nurses last monday and I haven't seen anyone else since. I'm lost the pain pills no longer take the anxiety away or make me feel like I can cope with my own pain it doesn't matter how many I take. My son who just turned 22 insists there is no point in going on in life, that even if he gets a job he never has enough to support himself. My daughter got a good job for where we live and just brought my first grandchild into the world there right upstairs and yet we are so far apart. The illness that suicide and end of life brings to some of us is unbearable yet we fake our way through each day, pretending everything is going to be ok. Living in a small rural town makes it worse as the shame of having mental problems, addictions, anxiety.. and all are to hard to share with old classmates some related by marriage now or in the past. I used to be the strong one and now I can't even help myself. But I must and so must we all. People are counting on us. There is no magic pill, just say another prayer and go on.
From one loved one to another, in one way or another, My wife is 57, has trouble with eating, has Psoiatic Arthritis & is obese. She has been encouraged to eat right & exercise, for many years. She has been hospitalized for A-Fib recently. I expressed, as well as the Cardiologist, that this is it, your life is in jeopardy.
She was scared those days, but those days are not at the forefront now. She said she wants to change, but does not. It has been many weeks now since her last episode, with a racing heart and chest pain. I feel that I am not affective as a change agent. Of course I do influence her, "honey, you need to put your C-pap on", & she does.
She has tried many diets in the past & has been through many exercise routines, to no avail. She cannot do it alone. Her friends see that she is in trouble, but are too busy to get her to the swimming pool or help her get enrolled at the DAHLC here at Mayo, Rochester. I have asked her if she wants to tour that facility, but says she cannot due to preparing for our High School Seniors Grad. Party on June 3rd,20012.
My wife has said, for years, that she will do diet tomorrow or just be too tired to exercise. There is always something in the way of her helping herself be healthier.
Right now as I sit writing to you, I am thinking very strongly of gathering loved ones and friends that love her, to help with an intervention. As you say, "can't go it alone". To me,the time is now, there is urg
I am a male looking for a mental counselor. is therapy more effective if I work with a male counselor than a female, or is there any difference, or would should I be looking for a female counselor? I am suffering grief, loss, depression, and loneliness
My beloved husband passed away 2nd May last year.He had been diagnosed in April 2004 with bowel cancer.I know I have been grieving since the diagnosis. We were very much in love & last June would have been our 40th wedding anniversary.I have tried, acupuncture, naturopathy, holistic treatment, I see a psychologist fortnightly, I pray , I walk almost daily for an hour, I eat well, no take out or junk food. I have tried rebirthing/breathwork & I have just begun having healing massage.I am so against taking anti depressants, as they will only numb my pain. I am trying everything, but lately I seem to have more sad days of crying, isolation & mourning the life we had together before his illness. Yes, sadness comes to everyone unfortunately, my Father passed away when I was 12 & my Mother when I was 35, so I have experienced sadness of loss as I was very close to both my parents.I am thankful for all that I have, my wonderful son & daughter & a lovely caring son in law, but when the sadness is so overwhelming, I do think I have much to be grateful for, but in my selfishness, I want my darling husband here on my terms, before his illness, then my next thought is, Thelma, you can't have everything, just be thankful & grateful for the wonderful life you had & shared, reflect on the wonderful memories. Yes, so this is my story in brief.........
I also have sleepless nights because of fears and worries about what will happen or what will I become in the future and even I am bothered about the past situations that I haven't cope. One question inside my mind is that what is generalized anxiety disorder. I have been to several post about this matter because I am seeking information about how to prevent and cure anxiety disorder. I prefer to natural medications since I am afraid of being dependent to chemicals. Thank you.
Carol, I agree that often the church can do more for a person than the strange and limited professionals you talk about. In particular when it comes to reconciliation time.
I am a social worker by training and live in a small college town.I have never experienced so much isolation in my entire life. It is in the South and the professionals are so strange and very limited. However, I went to the University of Chicago.I have two siblings who are mentally challenged and we have experienced stigma everywhere, Somehow,this rugged individualism or Loser mentality needs to stop. Our culture and the baby boomers need to be more mature and try to reach out to family and friends and the church.
What can society in general and medical professionals in particular do to shift away from the stigma of asking for help. The stigma includes not only increased insurance premiums, but also a diminished social status of being "less than" other colleagues who "toughed" it out. The rational and logical arguments in favor of seeking help are indeed compelling. But I think we need to be realistic about the very real financial, psychological and social impediments that prevent some from seeking it.
You blog speaks the heart of most medical professionals to patients. We do need to try to help ourselves to the max first. However, sometimes when we ask for help in certain ways, we are being rejected or said a huge "No". This becomes a double blow. I have encountered this situation a number of times. How do I overcome this? Any insights?

The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) calls on professionals that work in the field of eHealth to brainstorm, discuss and reflect on the present and future of the use and application of information and communication technologies in public health in the Americas. The virtual dialogues will be part of a project titled "eHealth Conversations: Information management, dialogue and knowledge exchange to approach universal access to health".
The project represents a breakthrough for the eHealth Strategy and Action Plan for the Americas, as it seeks to implement a regional mechanism, through free and fair access to information and knowledge sharing, to ensure the convergence of local, national and regional initiatives related to the development, adoption and implementation of information and communication technologies for public health. It also aims to support decision makers and the general public to understand and prepare for the future of eHealth.
Based on the components of the eHealth regional strategy, PAHO/WHO will implement a series of virtual dialogues with key stakeholders, networks and experts in the following topics: 1)Infrastructure, 2)Information Systems, 3)Telemedicine, 4)Access to information, 5)Policies, 6)Education, 7)Patient Safety, 8)Electronic Medical Records, 9)Standards for interoperability, 10)Legal issues, 11)Relationship with projects and initiatives of e-Government, and 12 )eHealth Management.
Each virtual dialogue will begin during the first week of November and will last 120 days. The main goal of each conversation is to develop a situation analysis, identify national and international experts and networks in each topic, and produce conclusions and recommendations for PAHO/WHO and its member countries to consider when implementing eHealth projects.
Expected results include to build a network specialized in eHealth; facilitate national institutions with access to evidence-based information and certified experts on specific issues that can strengthen decision making; strengthen individual and collective capacities of health workers and institutions, and connect them in a network of eHealth networks; and strengthen the PAHO/WHO eHealth program with the recommendations.
The final product for "eHealth Conversations" will be a publication that will be regularly updated and disseminated in the PAHO/WHO media and its social networks.
Interested parties may participate in one or more of the 12 conversations available, which will be moderated by a coordinator who will assign activities among participants and collect information for the publication.
For more information on the eHealth Conversations, please contact Marcelo D'Agostino,

Shelter doing well coming out of holidays
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
ROCHESTER — Homeless Center Executive Director Susan Ford expects to have a full house by week's end, but she is citing a great holiday season, which included a sizeable donation.
The Homeless Center for Strafford County is a seasonal shelter, open from October through April. It generally houses single women and children and occasionally full families, but rarely single men. Because single men aren't usually admitted, the shelter is not eligible for state or federal money and runs solely on donations.

Kathrin Eleanore Wilbur
A graveside service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, at the East Line Street Cemetery in Bishop for Kathrin Eleanore Wilbur. A celebration of her life will follow at the Bishop Elks Lodge, 151 E. Lone St. in Bishop.
Born in March 30, 1925 in San Pedro to Rosanna Laura Henley and Davis Robert Henley, Kathy died peacefully in her sleep with her son David in a bedroom nearby on March 27, 2011 after a courageous, years long battle with emphysema.
Kathy was 18 when she discovered that she was "Kathrin" and not "Catherine." Throughout her life she mused that the doctor who certified her birth simply did not know how to spell.
Kathy began manifesting her extraordinary nature and athleticism as a youngster at a time when neither girls nor women were encouraged to pursue sports. By 18 years of age she became an amateur tennis champion in Long Beach – the more amazing having come from a family where her father forbade his four daughters to learn to ride bicycles because "girls don't ride bikes."
At the close of World War II, after a 13-day courtship, she married her childhood family friend, Mel, on July 6, 1945, one week before Mel's 21st birthday. Their young age was tempered by Kathy's work at Douglas Aircraft on the war effort while Mel was the captain and pilot of a B-17 Bomber in the European Theater. They had both graduated from David Jordan High School in Long Beach.
Continuing with his love of airplanes, Mel, Kathy and young daughter, Claudia, would move to Santa Maria where the campus of the University of Southern California's School of Engineering was located so Mel could study to become an aeronautical engineer. During their stay there, son David was born.
They moved to Long Beach when the school was moved to the main campus in Los Angeles. Mel graduated with a degree as a bachelor of engineering on June 16, 1951. Nine months later their son, Mark, was born. Mel went to work for Northorp Corporation where, among his many other achievements, he helped to send Telstar, the first active communications satellite, into space. Mel remained in the Air Force Reserves and he and Kathy frequently traveled to the annual 351st Bomber Reunions around the country.
When their youngest son Mark went off to kindergarten at the tender age of five, Kathy and Mel struck a happy bargain that placed them both ahead of their time – Mel had the self confidence to allow Kathy a level of personal freedom that was uncommon at the time and that allowed for a life changing event for Kathy. While Mel was helping America conquer the heavens, Kathy discovered the game of golf and thus began her life-long love affair with a sport that was finally come into its own in recent years. The public at large has begun to recognize what golfers since the beginning have known – it takes the highest level of focus, fortitude and courage to succeed in this sport.
Kathy's evolution as a golfer took her from the Alondra Park Golf Club in Lawndale, where she served as president of the Lady's Club; then simultaneously to the Meadow Lark Country Club in Huntington Beach, where she served another stint as president and she was also a member of the Los Alamitos Country Club; then on to the San Vincente Country Club in Ramona; and finally to the Bishop Country Club where she was active in the Lady's Club until her health no longer permitted her participation. During the period before San Vincente, Kathy played several tournaments at the Costa Mesa Country Club where the friendship she cultivated with the owner, Harry Green, led to her becoming the manager of the club for some dozen years.
Kathy exemplified the qualities of focus, fortitude and courage to the core of her being. Her den in the San Vincent Estates in Ramona where she and Mel lived before relocating to Bishop, was a tribute to her many low net victories in her handicap: an entire wall was filled with trophies. Kathy was a true ambassador for the sport. For more than 50 years she played her sport throughout the Southwest with rare and inspiring determination. Until her disease took a serious turn for the worse Kathy could be seen out on the course at Bishop Country Club carrying her oxygen tank while she played her game.
Her three children are proud beyond expression of their mom's years long dedication to the sport she so loved and recently gave her a bronze sculpture acknowledging her lifelong dedication to the sport of golf.
All her friends and family recognized what an extraordinary person Kathy was. And her family saw up close the remarkable dignity and courage with which she handled her insidious disease. She rarely complained and right up to the end she lived as normal a life as possible. As the disease ran its course to the end, Kathy was surrounded by the love of her children, Claudia, David and Mark as well as the loving friendship of her golfing buddies the Lady Bills, and her Red Hat Society friends.
Her three children wish to offer a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Boo and the entire staff at the Rural Health Clinic; Dwayne, Jeff, Paul and Clay at Dwayne's Friendly Pharmacy, as well as the entire staff; her nurse, Michelle Shibley, and all her friends who gave Kathy such loving support, as well as to the town of Bishop for being such a friendly, welcoming place where the townspeople still look out for each other.
Kathy was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Claude Melvin "Mel" Wilbur, Jr.; her parents; sisters, Rosanna Laura Whittaker, Dorothey Esther Brown and Elizabeth Mae Murphy; and her nephew, Michael Whittaker.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Claudia Myers and Charles Myers; sons and daughter-in-law, David Wilbur and Mark and Noreen Wilbur; grandchildren, Ariel Kathrin Wilbur and Usha Wilbur; sister-in-law, Suzanne Jonson; nieces, Deyon Jonson, Nancy Thompson and Cecilia Cochems; and nephew, Christopher Cochems.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Kathy's memory may be made to the Bishop Elks Lodge, Hospice of the Owens Valley, the Inyo County Animal Shelter, P.O. Box 76 Bishop, CA 93515 or the Bishop Country Club Junior Golf Program.
This obituary is being re-run to correct an error on the part of The Inyo Register staff.
