That being said RED Engine was supposedly native OpenGL under OSX.
Concerning the Linux version, we do have an internal version here at Eugen, as my main work machine is a Linux one, however it is not in a releasable shape.

Here are mine.
Not fancy, but a favorite. An early black SAS stoptail.
86 Pre-std. Thank you QCG.
Love the faded indigo
Hahaha- Damn, I wish I still had those pants.
My favorite 3:
Jade Glow Private Stock DC 245 Ted, my favorite guitar ever!
A magical TGS creation, a DC 245 with a Madagascar Rosewood Neck and a Trem.
Another great TGS creation, "Earth Custom 24", 5.5 pounds with an Obeche body. I can't seem to find it though, I think I left it at the PTC for a refin!
This one coming soon, might make it into the top 3 when it arrives, SC 245 Ted with an Obeche body and McCarty thickness, should be very lightweight. 408 pickups and Signature switching.
Ted Club President
You mean this one? The Ultraviolet IRW SC (and Andy's Glacier Blue) was sold to fund the above Private Stocks. The bottom guitar in the oven at the Wood Library is Armando's Amethyst, in honor of that great Ultraviolet one you sold me!

ARMv8 chips will also have 10x faster cryptography than current ARM chips.
ARMv8 chips will also have 10x faster cryptography than current ARM chips.
HOW do you think Intel has managed to keep up performance while maintaining compatibility with 8086? Do you honestly assert that all our modern Intel CPUs are carrying around an 8086 core so they can execute those instructions? NO, they are executed in microcode.
BESIDES ALL OF THIS, the actual instruction set executed by the core has ZILCH to do with the instruction set exposed to software. When your code is executed on a modern CPU the instructions are pipelined and re-ordered and re-written and the code executed by the core is NOT THE SAME as the code you wrote. So the API you see, even from assembly language, is all just an abstraction anyway. The Intel 32-bit instruction set runs on both Pentium Pro and on Ivy Bridge despite the fact that those two processors have very very little in common.
You really have to ask if "legacy baggage" has any relevance when it has no practical meaning. IBM mainframes are still emulating the 360 instruction set from the 1970's and yet they are not slowed down. Heck your modern IBM mainframe is emulating about a dozen different old IBM architectures and it does it all without slowing down modern code by even a cycle. IBM Mainframes? you mean those systems that have been running linux in a VM environment long before Intel?
CISC actually does quite well performance wise because one of the execution bottlenecks is the fetching of instructions. When you use long winded RISC instructions you have more code and more read cycles to fetch your big code from slow RAM.
The ideal instruction set is Hoffman-encoded CISC where the often used instructions are very short and the little-used instructions are longer. This maximizes the available memory bandwidth.
And AGAIN since the instruction set is just an abstraction and has NOTHING to do with the actual hardware you might as well shoot for performance. Who cares about that dreadful CISC code? Nobody is ever going to look at it. It shoots out of the compiler and into the instruction unit and nobody needs to actually look at it or appreciate its intrinsic beauty.
All right, I use encryption under LVM on a Pentium B940 laptop. Now it will run faster! Oh, wait, no it won't, Intel fused off AESNI and AVX on this chip. *middlefinger* to you Intel.
Seems to me you didn't do enough research before making your purchase. If that's correct, this one is on you and only on you, and it makes no sense to be angry at Intel.

News/Special Offers
About ECM
March 16 , 2004
Due in April: new albums by Marilyn Crispell, John Abercrombie and Steve Kuhn!
Steve Kuhns Promises Kept is the American pianists first recording for ECM since 1995s Remembering Tomorrow. The new CD features Kuhns piano flanked by a string ensemble conducted by Carlos Franzetti, and has distinct echoes of the Steve Kuhn/Gary McFarland 1966 masterpiece, The October Suite. In the liner notes, Bob Blumenthal describes Promises Kept as Kuhns most beautiful recording.
Storyteller by the Marilyn Crispell Trio and Class Trip by the John Abercrombie Quartet are, meanwhile, already firm office favourites, in heavy rotation at ECMs Munich headquarters.
Although all trio members contribute material to Storyteller, Marilyn Crispells disc places its central focus on the still-underrated compositions of Paul Motian. As with Marilyns interpretations of Annette Peacock (Nothing Ever Was Anyway), these feel like definitive readings, and the dialogues between pianist and drummer, mediated by new bassist Mark Helias, are endlessly, profoundly creative.
John Abercrombies quartet with Mark Feldman, Marc Johnson and Joey Baron made many new friends with international performances in the wake of the CatnMouse album. Class Trip reveals heightened group interplay and a quick witted responsiveness that is simply a joy to hear. Abercrombie has written a fine bunch of new tunes that serve as springboards into the free zone, and the quartet also turns its attention to Béla Bartóks Soldiers Song.
Due in June: new albums by Carla Bley and Maneri/Phillips/Maneri
Carla Bleys disc features her new quartet The Lost Chords formed by the cunning move of adding her Big Band drummer, the excellent Billy Drummond, to the long established trio of Carla, Steve Swallow and Andy Sheppard. Worth buying for Carlas deadpan sleeve notes alone, the music, recorded live in Europe, also has its droll charms as well as many a distinguished solo, with the suite Three Blind Mice standing out as some kind of magnum opus.
ECM brought together microtonal improvisers Joe and Mat Maneri with veteran bass giant Barre Phillips for the production project Tales of Rohnlief in 1998, and the three musicians found such immediate rapport that theyve been working together at every opportunity since then. Angles of Repose, the new disc, was recorded in the chapel of Ste. Philomene next door to Phillipss home in the south of France, and the warmly resonant sound of the chapel becomes part of the musics personality, as Mat (on viola) and Barre continue to find new ways to frame or challenge the uniquely vocal sound of Joes saxes and clarinet. No other free music group sounds like this.

We think about two things where design is concerned: branding & conversions.
If we had a motto it would be: "Good design looks good and sells better"
… or something like that but catchier and probably with the word "Volusion" in there for SEO.
Volusion Store Design
Our Volusion templates are conversion optimized for maximum conversionosity*
We Build Sites That Sell
*Yes. Conversionosity is a word. It's a synonym for salesrevenueism.
Logo Designs
A good logo can't guarantee a conversion, but a bad logo can prevent one, ergo:
Good Logos=Conversions
We're not math scientists or anything, but that seems pretty obvious to us.
Before & After volusion Store Designs
We can improve any Volusion store.
We can make a bad store good…
We Make Good Stores Better
…and we make better stores even betterer-maybe even the bestest.

Back in the spring, I held a giveaway with my new hunting buddy, champion turkey caller Mitchell Johnston. He makes a line of sweet-sounding turkey calls, designed to help hunters put a hurtin' on gobblers. They are aptly named Dead End Game Calls.
You got to know Mitchell in earlier blog posts, even gleaned a few mouth call care tips from a guy that's used the same ones for seven years. (Yeah, you read that right.)
In an earlier giveaway, Mitchell sent seven calls to for Keepin' Up With Karen followers who were also good at following directions. He parted with seven of his handmade creations to the lucky few who were drawn.
Congrats to…
Ken Bailey
Kevin Beck
Brandon Oxford
Dave Quong
Ryen Sawyer
Genie Walker
Greg Wood
You don't have to do a thing except wait for Mitchell to contact you. Then you have roughly 290 days until kick off for the spring season.
If you're a fall turkey hunter, let us know if you do any good with your new Dead End Game Call this year. I love pictures…

An infinite set is called countable if you can count it. In other words, it's called countable if you can put its members into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . For example, a bag with infinitely many apples would be a countable infinity because (given an infinite amount of time) you can label the apples 1, 2, 3, ... and so on.
Two countably infinite sets A and B are considered to have the same "size" (or cardinality) because you can pair each element in A with one and only one element in B so that no elements in either set are left over. This idea seems to make sense, but it has some funny consequences. For example, the even numbers are a countable infinity because you can link the number 2 to the number 1, the number 4 to 2, the number 6 to 3 and so on. So if you consider the totality of even numbers (not just a finite collection) then there are just as many of them as natural numbers, even though intuitively you'd think there should only be half as many.
Something similar goes for the rational numbers (all the numbers you can write as fractions). You can list them as follows: first write down all the fractions whose denominator and numerator add up to 2, then list all the ones where the sum comes to 3, then 4, etc. This is an unfailing recipe to list all the rationals, and once they are listed you can label them by the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... . So there are just as many rationals as natural numbers, which again seems a bit odd because you'd think that there should be a lot more of them.
It was Galileo who first noticed these funny results and they put him off thinking about infinity. Later on the mathematician Georg Cantor revisited the idea. In fact, Cantor came up with a whole hierarchy of infinities, one "bigger" than the other, of which the countable infinity is the smallest. His ideas were controversial at first, but have now become an accepted part of pure mathematics.
You can find out more about all this in our collection of articles on infinity.

We've all got favourite numbers and some of us even go as far as thinking some numbers lucky or unlucky. Seven is probably one that crops up quite a lot in this context, so it's nice to know that it really is a lucky number. No, seriously, that's true! There is a mathematical recipe for finding lucky numbers, and 7 is one of them.
The recipe goes like this. Write down all the positive whole numbers starting from 1. First, you eliminate all even numbers, leaving only the odds:
The next number on the list after 1 is 3, so you now go and eliminate every third number, leaving:
The next surviving number after 3 is 7, so you eliminate every 7th number in the list of survivors. And so on. When you've finished this process the sequence of surviving numbers starts:
These surviving numbers are called lucky numbers. They are similar to the prime numbers in some ways. There are infinitely many of them, and they are the result of a sieving process (successively eliminating numbers) similar to the sieve of Eratosthenes which sieves out primes. When you try and approximate the distribution of the lucky numbers among the other numbers as you move up the number line, the result is akin to the prime number theorem. The lucky numbers even have their own version of the Goldbach conjecture, which states that any odd number greater than 4 can be written as the sum of two primes. One thing that isn't known, though, if whether there are infinitely lucky numbers that are also prime, or only finitely many.
All this doesn't make 7 lucky in the everyday sense of the word — but it makes us feel very lucky to have so many numbers to play with!

Now here's an important mathematical question: how likely are you to win the lottery?
1 in 14 million.
In the UK lottery you have to choose 6 numbers out of 49, and for a chance at the jackpot you need all of your 6 numbers to come up in the main draw. So the question is really how many possible combinations of 6 numbers can be drawn out of 49? There are 49 possibilities for the first number, 48 for the second, and so on, to 44 possibilities for the sixth number, so there are 49x48x47x46x45x44=10,068,347,520 ways of choosing those six numbers... in that order.
But we don't care which order our numbers are picked, and the number of different ways of ordering 6 numbers are 6x5x4x3x2x1=6! =720: there are six possibilities for the number that comes first in the list, 5 for the number that comes second, and so on. Therefore our six numbers are one of 49x48x47x46x45x44/6! = 13,983,816 so we have about a one in 14 million chance of hitting the jackpot. Hmmm...
But on a brighter note, we have just discovered a very useful mathematical fact: the number of combinations of size (sets of objects in which order doesn't matter) from a larger set of size is:
This sort of argument lies at the heart of combinatorics, the mathematics of counting. It might not help you win the lottery, but it might keep you healthy. It is used to understand how viruses such as influenza reproduce and mutate, by assessing the chances of creating viable viruses from random recombination of genetic segments.

Triangles do it, squares do it, even hexagons do it — but pentagons don't. They just won't fit together to tile your bathroom wall. That's the reason why you'll find it very difficult to find pentagonal tiles in any hardware shop.
It's actually really easy to see why pentagons won't tile the plane. We are talking regular pentagons here, shapes that have five sides of equal length and angles between them. In a regular pentagon the internal angle between two sides is 108°. In a regular tiling, adjacent tiles share whole edges, rather than just parts of edges, so corners of tiles meet corners of other tiles. To fit a number of tiles around a corner point, their internal angles must add up to 360°, since that's a full turn. If you try to fit three pentagons, you only get 3 x 108° = 324°, so there is a gap. If you fit four pentagons, you get 4 x 108° = 432°, so two of them overlap. The same isn't true for equilateral triangles, squares, or regular hexagons. Here the internal angles are 60°, 90° and 120° respectively, so you can fit six triangles, four squares and three hexagons around a corner point. (You can try and work out for yourself if any other regular polygons can give you a regular tiling.)
Three pentagons arranged around a point leave a gap, and four overlap. Image: Craig Kaplan.
If pentagons don't work can we perhaps use other shapes with five-fold symmetry to tile the plane? Find out more in The trouble with five.

Remember maps? In the old days, before smart phones and satnavs, we used to use them to get around. They posed quite a few problems, including folding them and understanding them. To help with the latter, map makers often use different colours to colour adjacent regions, be they countries, counties, or parts of a city. And pretty much since the beginning of map making, they have known that they will never need more than four colours to colour a whole map. It's something that's so blindingly obvious once you start playing with a few maps, it should be easy to prove mathematically: when colouring a map drawn on a flat piece of paper, four colours will always suffice.
The US in four colours. Image: Wikipedia.
Mathematicians first set themselves the task back in 1852, and it proved a massive headache. It took 24 years for the first proof to be announced, only to be found faulty another eleven years later. Then it took another 86 years, until 1976, until the mathematicians Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken came up with a second proof. They first supposed that there are maps that need five colours, from which you can then choose one that has the smallest number of countries. They then showed that such a minimal map must contain one of 1,936 possible configurations; and they also proved that every one of these possible configurations can be reduced into a smaller configuration which also needs five colours. This is a contradiction because they assumed that they had already started with the smallest five-colour map. When you find a contradiction you can deduce that your initial assumption, that there are maps that need five colours, is false.
This sounds good, but there was a hitch. The part of their proof which showed that these 1,936 configurations could be reduced was done by a computer, which simply ploughed through every configuration and checked it. No human being could in their lifetime ever actually read the entire proof to check that it was correct. This caused an outcry: if nobody can check it, how can we ever know it doesn't contain a mistake? Can mathematics ever be done by computers?
The proof has since been improved and verified independently (by computers), so most people are quite happy to consider the result proven. The question of whether computer proofs can ever be considered sound, however, is still a hot one.

Here's a little game to play. Take the interval from 0 to 1, including the end points. Now delete the middle third of this interval, from 1/3 to 2/3, but without deleting the two end points 1/3 and 2/3. Then delete the middle thirds of the two intervals that are left, [0,1/3] and [2/3,1], again without deleting the end points. Keep going, deleting middle thirds ad infinitum — well, you can't really do this in practice, but you can imagine it. What will you be left with in the end?
Seven steps towards C.
Let's call the set of left-over points C. Clearly, C contains the end points of middle third intervals because these don't get removed: 0, 1, 1/3, 2/3, 1,9, 2/9, 7/9, 8/9, and so on. But other points are left too. For example, 1/4 does not get removed at the first step because it's less than 1/3, it does not get removed at the second step either because it's bigger than 2/9, and so on.
Does C contain any intervals at all? It's pretty easy to convince yourself that it doesn't: any line segment, no matter how tiny, will have been broken up by having its middle third removed. C is what's called totally disconnected because all its connected components are just points.
But these points are not isolated. If you draw a little circle around any point x in C, then no matter how small the circle, it will contain other points of C. For example, take the point 0. Arbitrarily close to it there is a point of the form 1/3k for some k, which is in C because it's the end point of a middle third interval. The fact that every point has other points arbitrarily close to it makes C into a perfect set.
All this means that C inhabits a strange world between dimensions. It's more than a collection of isolated points, which has dimension 0, and less than a line, which has dimension 1. If you calculate its Hausdorff dimension, which is an extension of our usual concept of dimension, the answer is ln(2)/ln(3)=0.63, which is between 0 and 1 as expected.
The Menger sponge. Image: Niabot.
The set C is also self-similar. For example, if you take the part of C contained in some tiny interval [0,1/3k] and blow it up, what you get looks exactly the same as C itself. Being self-similar and having a dimension that's not a whole number makes C into a fractal.
C has a name too: it's called the middle-thirds Cantor set, after Georg Cantor, who wrote about it in 1883, although it had previously been discovered by Henry John Stephen Smith. Cantor was one of the first people to give a rigorous description of a fractal, though the term "fractal" was not coined until almost 100 years later by Benoit Mandelbrot.
Cantor sets often turn up in mathematics when things are being broken up according to the same recipe ad infinitum. For example, you can create a similar construct in two dimensions by dividing a square up into nine smaller squares and repeatedly removing the middle one. The result is called the Sierpinski carpet, which has a Hausdorff dimension of ln(8)/ln(3)=1.892. The three-dimensional analogue is the Menger sponge.

Recently, Amy wrote that she cares for her father who has Alzheimer's. Although Amy's mother has passed away, Amy's father doesn't understand why his wife isn't around. He continually asks, "Have you seen mom?" Amy shared that she has to tell him every time that she's gone. "For my Dad it's like he's losing her over and over," Amy wrote.
Although Amy's father may not be cognitively aware of the loss, he does sense that something isn't right. Yet, as Amy points out, telling him each time that his wife has died is like hearing it for the first time for her father. Consequently, he feels profound sadness, probably confusion, or even anger, over and over again.
If Amy's father was able to retain the information that his wife had died, then of course he would need to be told. However, when we accept that Alzheimer's is a disease of profound memory loss, we can come to appreciate that repeating information that only elicits painful emotions may be unnecessary.
Although I completely understand Amy's desire to talk honestly with her father, I'm an advocate for validating the feelings of loss in a person with Alzheimer's without instigating further pain or grief.
An alternative way of responding in Amy's situation could be something like this: "Dad, I can tell you are worried." This statement validates his emotions. "Mom has been a wonderful wife and mom! Dad, I remember the time mom (insert a good memory, funny story ...)."
These words begin to shift the emotion from feeling worried to feeling understood, thus shifting her father's attention to happier times. Amy and her father may now be able to engage in an enjoyable conversation about the past.
An interesting study on emotions in persons with memory loss was conducted at the University of Iowa and published earlier this year in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
Individuals with memory loss watched clips of both happy and sad movies. Although the participants couldn't recall even one detail about what they had watched, they each retained the emotions elicited by the clips.
Happy movies left lingering happy emotions in the persons with memory loss and sad movies left them feeling sad long after the movie was over.
During the holidays, you might wonder if it really matters whether you visit someone with Alzheimer's since the person will forget you were there. This study underscores that while the visit may be forgotten almost immediately, the emotions created by the visit may stay behind long after you've left.
Amy, may you and your father find comfort and pleasure in your times together.

can anyone tell me please does alzheims desease run in families, if not what causes it. any answers would be much appracted. thankyou
I have been taking care of a 94 yr. old gentlemen for just a little more than a month. It was just after he lost his second wife. I am told that he started to forget things about a year ago.
My caregiving relationship with him has been a pleasure. We laugh a lot and kid around.
Just the other day he got upset with me; he said He loved me and wanted to marry me. Before this day, he has known I am married and he has met my husband several times. He said this day that he didn't know I was married, that he thought my husband was a friend or a lover. He was heartbroken and started to cry. I don't know what to do! Will this pass? Will he forget he has said this to me? If so , when?
Help- my mother in law lives alone- she has meals on wheels and other house hold assistance . Her family are burning out delivering pills, staying over night etc. Mom will not consider leaving her home. We have toured long term care homes but because of the disease there is no reasoning with her. How do you deal with getting her to agree to go or do we have nothing to look forward to but taking her out kicking and screaming?
My mother just turned 68 and has vascular dementia. She lives in a care center and requires 24 hour care, as she is also unable to walk. I totally agree with this messag youe....a lot of the time when I do more validating than correcting, like "oh, I understand how you feel" and "That must be difficult" and then try to get mom thinking about more positive topics, she responds much better. Sometimes it is so hard to do that though, but I just try to meet her where she is at that moment. I remember hearing the term "theraputic fibbing" in my dementia support group...it's ok to go along with the false realities...even healthy...because really all that matters ultimately is the love that they feel! God bless you all!
My mom, age 97, I think has dementia due to the memory loss of daily activities. However, she can talk and talk about the past. She has had frequent URI's and on antibiotics so could this increase the memory loss. She asks about her mother and father and brother and where are they. Are we to explain that they are no longer here or ignore or validate or redirect the conversation. After we explain, she says oh for heaven's sake or I didn't know that. This is new to us and I am not sure how to deal with it. Thanks.
My mom, age 96, has dementia and is blind and has hearing loss. I try to take good care of her 24/7. I do have caregivers come in two to three times a week for several hours so I can get out, and someone comes to give her showers twice a week to give me a break. But her quality of life is so bad. She can't even watch TV. She can't see or hear well enough to even hear the TV to enjoy it. She sits long hours and we talk. She fell last week and she walks with a walker, but I have to lead her around so she doesn't bump into things. She weighs about 96 pounds and eating is not her favorite thing to do, either. It is so sad. She is very confused and sometimes does not know it is I who is taking care of her.
Just found out today that my mom has alzheimers. I'm scared and really sad.
My mother just passed away jan.3 she had dementia along with congestive heart & diabetes. My 87 yr old dad keeps asking when the services are going to be held. I don't know what hurts the most , the feeling of of loosing my mother or having to repeat to my dad that she is gone. since reading this article and comments from different people I feel not alone.
Very impressive how this patients can be marked by the emotions and keep for long time but to the same time they can forget, of ours presence, words, we made, thanks for to share it....
my mom has alzheimers too, while reading the comments of everyone i was crying because i can understand how everyone feels, but i feel helpless sometimes because i don't know what to do with mom and i spend 3 to four hours with her and i am so stress out every time, i wish someone could find a cure.
What a great way to temper the moment and add a positive thought. I agree that telling someone over and over again about a tragic event is not a good solution. It's a tough call, but I vote for dodging the question in this case.
This suggestion really helps, however, I am not sure how to apply to my dad's situation. He sometimes will tell us how he lost money, and then engage the whole family for the search. Then my brother, who's the prime caregiver will shout at him, to 'stop' him. He explained this is the only way to make dad understand how untrue his 'fantasies' of losing money is. Although I disagree with this method, I don't know how to 'validate' his feeling of insecurity but at the same time give him an answer of where the money or anything else is misplaced.
Thank you Maya that really hit home. My mom soon to be 92 is in her last stages of Alzheimers. When we start parenting our parents it becomes extremely difficult. Mom always wants to go home even though she is at her only home. Talking to those whom have passed on before us. And always seeing children or holding children that are not there. Asking for Daddy who died 28 years ago. And calls for her mama every night when she wakes up it has been as many as 12 times this just breaks my heart and i answer as tho im her. Sometimes i look deep in moms eyes and i know she is in there somewhere. I am usually her sister in the day time and mama at night. And the primary cargiver. We had a great Christmas and ask mom to bless the food at lunch time. Mom said the blessing and we were all in aww. That itself was a gift from God and we were so thankfull. I just wanted to share some of my experiences with you. I have learnt everyday is a new day and a new experience. I could not make this journey without Christ.
This hit home. I'm employed at an assisted living long term facility in Canton Ohio, in the [special care] dementia unit. There is a father here. And his daughter is named Amy. Just as in Amy's story. Then, at first I thought he was the father I care for. This moved me to inform you how much the MayoClinic.com web site is educating me. Reading your articles, comments, and sugestions to caregivers, is invaluable to me in communicating with familys. While providing me with the tools needed to offer the correct communication with these people living in a moment in their pasts. MY hat goes off to you Angela, and your dedicated staff.
P.S. Thank you for your letter, Amy
Yes, Mary, get him to a doctor and hope that the doctor says he should stop driving. My husband did when the doctor mentioned having and accident and killing someone---this was enough to stop his driving immediately. I sometimes wonder how many people with dementia are out on the roads driving---they can be more dangerous than drunk drivers at times.
Mary, You must get him to a Dr. right away there are medication that can help him.
My husband started by ignoring me. Then became verbal
ly abusive. He gets confused driving. And doctor has diagosed him. I think that he has been able to fool everyone.
He is abusive at night and forgets his behavior.
What can I do?
Thanks Angela...you're an angel who helps those dealing with tough situations.
I was happy to see your suggestions regarding my dad asking for mom and will certainly try these instead of reminding him that mom is gone. It does make him sad...they were married over 50 years. She was all he ever knew. Hopefully these suggestions will end the sadness of her loss for him.
I love the quote by Maya Angelou. I know my dad will never forget how I made him feel.
It has been said how well I take care of my wife but I have no help. I'm tied down to the house except to run to the grocery or drug store. I have one daughter who teachies school and does not have much time, no other family left, my wife has three sister's and all of them have dementia to some degree.
Amen, Marilyn :)
sometimes I just feel so badly especiallly when I lose my patience. It's so hearing the same questions over and over and over again. I just don't know what to do
because it's not my mom any more -- it's her body but
someone I don't even know.
We recently moved my wife into an Alzheimers facility near to her son but too far for me to visit. She is very upset with me for not moving with her, although her memory and understanding have long since gone. Can I apply the theme of this report to divert her attention from the constant repetition of showing anger with me at every opportunity when her son visits her? 5ukJRF
barbara, maybe your husband is remembering his childhood home. sometimes all it takes is walking from one room to another and back to his chair to get them to think they are "home", or just walking around the outside of the house. May God provide you with what you need
The only rule that we had with our mother was that nothing but good things would go into her. We never told her when someone died, became ill, divorced, was injured, etc. We did not cry or become angry when we were with her. We shared happy stories over and over again. We sang her favorite hymns and songs. We laughed even when there was nothing about which to laugh. Calm voices and soothing massages and hand holdings were offered when we observed that she was upset. We validated her feelings and moved on to happy times. Yes, there were times we wanted to SCREAM; but, never at her - only the disease. We never expected her to "perform" for us. We never expected her to remember our names or any other details. A friend once said that when someone has a broken leg we don't expect them to jump; why do we expect someone with a broken brain to function as usual. Our parents taught us, with God's help, to get through the tough times TOGETHER even if we did not like the circumstances. Hold onto that peace.
Your article was just what I needed to see today! The quote by Maya Angelou is perfect and I will share it with my brothers. My dad asks about my deceased mother much of the time and we have learned to just say she's not here right now. That satisfies him for the time which is all he needs - until the next time! I have always believed that honesty is the best policy but in the case of dementia I think that whatever keeps my dad happy is the important thing and that is our priority now.
I have commented before re my wifes dementia. I, with my son's and her gerontologist's input, have made the decision to place my wife in an assisted living memory care facility. It is planned that I will move her next Monday. I must tell you I look forward to this move with dread and eager anticipation.
She does not see this as an act of love, of course, rather the opposite I think. But it is a dual act of love in reality, my love for her is deep and has been for over 49 years of marriage. So I do it with loving consideration of what her needs are and with loving consideration of what my needs are too. I can no longer be her only caregiver and she will not accept help from anyone else in our home, so I have to do what is necessary.
I have been hospitalized five times in the past year and half. When that happens it is never planned, it is an emergency situation. It is too big a risk for her and for me also to continue to live with this kind of stress.
Should I feel guilty, no, but I do still feel it. Will I get past it? I think I will. Will she some day feel that this is done in her best interest, I don't think so. But her memory loss is so profound that I will try to shower her with more love and make her feel at ease and accepting of her new home. I am still her caregiver, that is my role, but now I have professional help.
Dementia is like truth, it is a pathless land!
Maya Angelou word are a balm to my soul, my mom is in the final stages of this hated disease, this was diagnosed rather late for us, so her behavior was without rhyme or reason to me, I knew something was wrong, just didn't know what. Lately, my mom's retention of anything is gone, most of the time, she doesn't know who I am, during the night, she calls me by our caretaker's name, I respond. Now for the last few nights, she's been having conversations with her decease uncle and grandmother, I listen in tears I give her most hugs and kisses now, that's my way of communicating with her, my heart jumps as she smiles as I do this
My mom always asked for my dad who died 10 yrs ago. Instead of telling her the truth we said that he was at work and had called earlier in the day to say "hello" and that "he loved her and would be home later." This always made her happy. She sometimes would ask for him again and we gave similar responses and again she would be happy. Alzheimer's patients live very much in the moment so telling someone they are loved over and over is a good thing.
thank you for posting this ....i am in the same situation
what a timely commentary, especially the quote by Maya, my uncle misses his nephew who he has not seen for about 3 years. The nephew ran into legal trouble and served some time in jail, but I had not disclosed that information to my uncle. But each time I see uncle, he asks have i heard from his nephew, my brother, or when will nephew come into town for a visit. each time, my anxiety builds and I repeat the same answer, you'll see nephew soon, or in a week, which ever comes to my head and those comments obviously do not resolve my uncle's feelings of loss, sadness etc. So, this strategy sounds so much better, to try to focus on uncle's feelings and talk about how he used to enjoy times with the nephew. I will try this strategy during next visit and perhaps it will lessen my uncle's sadness and decrease my anxiety about the situation. It is so hard during the holidays as uncle does not seem to recall even past holidays etc. Thank you for the strategies.
Thank you for letting me "see" what I have been struggling with each day. Do I repeatedly tell my husband of his lung cancer. He suffers the emotion each time and doesn't remember. I could not keep doing that to him. I had reached your conclusion and am so glad to have a re-assurance of these thoughts. Confrontation just causes more confusion.
My mother always asked if we were going to go to the farm (where she grew up) and see her parents. I would tell her that we were planning on it next week. Of course she would forget the conversation completely, but it gave her a sense of satisfaction and happiness for the moment. We would then talk about the things she enjoyed about the farm and eventually go on to other subjects.
My Husband has alzheimers, and always wants to go home, even though he is home.I often must take him for a ride, then for awhile he is ok. Before long, he is wanting to go home back to the other house. We only
have one home. How do I get him back to where he feels home is. I am becoming exhausted. please help.
I'm dealing with the same issue with my Mom. I've been struggling with how to deal with this-without inflicting the pain each time, both for her and for myself. I've tried to be honest with Mom, but I can see that is maybe not the best solution. Thanks for the new perspective.
This was the best advice I've ever heard. My mom now has lung cancer -- but when the doctors talk about it or ask questions, my mom will look at me and ask "who has cancer?"... Instead of going over that again and again and feeling just as sad every time I say it, I'm going to just change the subject. It is what it is. Let's just try and keep them happy while they are here with us.
I found if I said I had not seen them today that satisfied the question. One can always say they will see them tomorrow as tomorrow never comes and they won't remember you told them.
It was really sad to know the state of Amy's father and I myself have seen some patients who suffer through Alzheimer.
This entire entry was just what I needed right now. The closing quote from Maya Angelou offers tremendous comfort. I will try to remind myself of this when feeling down.

The program, which began Fall 2006, is structured to allow admission once a year with a maximum of 48 students admitted each fall at the TUSCARAWAS Campus, and now, up to 24 students at the TRUMBULL Campus.
Graduates of Kent State University's Veterinary Technology program are eligible to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). Students must successfully pass the VTNE to be eligible for licensure in the state of Ohio. Graduates must also pass a criminal background check. Graduates register with the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board (OVMLB) to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) in the state of Ohio. In Ohio, licensure from the OVMLB is required to legally practice as a Registered Veterinary Technician. Applicants should contact the OVMLB at http://ovmlb.ohio.gov/ for information regarding licensure in the state of Ohio.
To prepare Veterinary Technicians, our curriculum provides combined studies of college level general education courses and rigorous course work in science, animal health, management and veterinary medical concepts. Kent State University at Tuscarawas looks for highly motivated students interested in becoming Veterinary Technicians. The program also looks for individuals with animal experience, who will enjoy working with animals and who have an understanding of the field of veterinary technology and medicine.
This degree is offered in its entirety at the Tuscarawas Campus and now at the Trumbull Campus.
Upon application to the VTEC program, students will indicate their campus preference.

Another Country
Tift Merritt
1. Something To Me 4:10 2. Broken 3:44 3. Another Country 4:43 4. Hopes Too High 3:33 5. Morning Is My Destination 3:18 6. Keep You Happy 5:05 7. I Know What I'm Looking For Now 3:58 8. Tell Me Something True 3:01 9. My Heart Is Free 3:30 10. Tender Branch 3:31 11. Mille Tendresses 3:10
On this, her debut album for Fantasy, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Tift lets fly with 11 new original tunes crafted into her most cohesive and personal album to date. The album is beautifully and elegantly produced by George Drakoulias and recorded by David Bianco. The players include guitarists Charlie Sexton and Doug Pettibone and Tift's longtime band, Zeke Hutchins (drums), Jay Brown (bass) and Danny Eisenberg (keyboards).
Inspiration for the songs on the album came when, after intensive touring, Merritt erased her grueling schedule and rented a flat with a piano in Paris's 10th arrondisment planning to take time off. Merritt recalls, "Days were wonderful there. I wore the same clothes nearly everyday. I would take a coffee in the street, say hello to the good people in the little wine store across from my door," she writes. "I cannot explain what happened except to say that there were never enough hours in the day to write, and there was always kindness at hand. I took pictures. I wrote stories. I played piano. I wrote songs."
These songs together comprise Merritt's third recording Another Country. Merritt describes the writing as a plainspoken look at the distance we all attempt to cross: between two people, between one heart and the rest of the world.

Within a minute of it circulating in the water, feeder tentacles appear on Lps and they get fat and happy. Since using this my acans have gained an average of three heads and my rasta colony has developed 4 new polyps! Don't second guess this purchase. Great Additive By brian on 11/22/2013 brian would recommend this product to a friend whether you target feed or share thru the entire tank this is a great item to add. i have seen a great improvement when i have used. 60 Gallon Cube Mixed Reef By Chris on 10/31/2013 Chris would recommend this product to a friend Switched from oyster feast to Reef Chili, I feed corals and instantly noticed the difference in polyp extension in all coral. Will be using Reef Chili from now on! Ratings say it all By Stephen on 10/17/2013 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend This stuff is 5 stars for a reason, genius product. Coral Frenzy! By Stephen on 10/10/2013 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend This stuff is awesome! I've never seen my Acans so puffed up before. SPS, LPS, soft corals...it does the trick on all! Strong stuff. By David on 10/9/2013 David would recommend this product to a friend After reading about this 100% complete food, watching the BRS video, and even reading the study they mention in the video, I was pretty excited to purchase Reef Chili. I find it hard to keep track of the various food products and which each coral types prefer. It has performed very well. A little goes a long way, so don't be tempted to scoop more then it says. They provide a cute, tiny, plastic measuring spoon. The handle broke but it was still usable. Just recently another chunk of the handle broke off! It's still usable; just with a short handle. It's a small complaint. Definitely recommend. Amazing Growth Of Zoas! By Mario on 10/3/2013 Mario would recommend this product to a friend I bought this in hopes to help my ZOAs out who have only grown about 5 new polyps in three months. After using the chili every other day for a month I have grown over 20+ polyps and have enhanced color. Couldn't be happier and will be buying again when I run out! Fish and Corals LOVE this! By Chris on 7/19/2013 Chris would recommend this product to a friend A while ago I'd watched the BRStv video where Ryan mentions the Reef Chili and thought I'd have to try it out. Unfortunately it was out of stock at that time and now I can see why such high demand! The others are correct. This is awesome food. My corals and fish love it. I even saw my baby Mandarin picking at some pieces which got to the bottom (she already eats pellets sometimes though) Now I have to say the others liking it is good but with a fish like a Mandarin who's diet is usually so particular eating it, I doubt anything else would fuss. Great product. Your marine life will love it! Very Happy By Scott on 7/15/2013 Scott would recommend this product to a friend My corals absolutely love Reef Chili and I will not use anything else again. Great! By John on 6/28/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend Fish and coral love this stuff! easy to use! BEST CORAL PRODUCT ON THE MARKET!!! By Dolmo5000 on 6/25/2013 Dolmo5000 would recommend this product to a friend After looking for and trying many different coral foods in my sps dominated mixed reef tank I found reef chili. I have to say that I was at the time a believer that in order to provide sps and other filter feeders needing tiny particle sized you had to go with expensive refrigerated products. I was sold on the product when I saw and then read the peer reviewed article which found that reef chili works as well or better than those expensive liquids. I now feed reef chili and nothing else (for coral that is). LOVE THE PRODUCT!!!!! Corals and Fish Love it!! By Corey on 6/24/2013 Corey would recommend this product to a friend Great Polyp extinsion on all my SPS, all the corals look great. The fish really get excited when I put it in the tank.

LETTER: Aldermen's actions show disregard for law
First let me commend our code enforcement officers for doing their job. The quotes of Aldermen Crisp and Burggraff in the Argus Leader and Dell Rapids Tribune on Aug. 13, 2014, affirm the fact that they have no regard for local ordinances. I moved to Dell Rapids 10 years ago and since 2013 there has been controversy concerning the recently elected officials. New Jersey politics are mild compared to what is going on here. My biggest mistake was voting for Alderman Burggraff. Building codes are for a reason – compliance of building standards. I obtained a building permit for my roof and sidewalk. I will get a permit for my driveway and walkway. I guess being retired gives me more time to check for what needs to be done to be in compliance without violating local building standards. Apparently Aldermen Crisp and Burggraff are too busy to do what is right. Martin Blath, Jr. Dell Rapids, S.D.

Although most luminescent reporter methods are destructive to the cell samples, luminescence from living cells can be measured by adding substrates to the growth medium. As previously reported, two luminescent signals were measured simultaneously in living cells by using Chroma-Luc™ luciferases capable of emitting green and red light. We now report an extension of the color separation between the luciferases by using the blue emission of Renilla luciferase (480nm) with the red emission of the Chroma-Luc™ luciferase (611nm). The combined light emission can be achieved using EnduRen™ Live Cell Substate and beetle luciferin.

James Schlesinger, a former CIA chief and Cabinet member, has died at the age of 85, according to The Associated Press and the Washington Post.
His daughter said the cause was complications from pneumonia, the Post reported.
Schlesinger served as defense secretary for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and was the nation's first energy secretary under President Jimmy Carter.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies, where Schlesinger had been a trustee for more than 30 years, posted a message on its website that said: "He left an astounding mark on American security and energy policy. After leaving government, Dr. Schlesinger continued to promote a stronger and more prosperous country through his work at many policy institutions, including CSIS. We greatly mourn his passing."

|Freddie Freeman is leading a team that knows how to win.
The Atlanta Braves showed why they are a team that is winning their division by a robust 10 games. The Braves are a team that pitches well, they hit well, and they lead the league in come-from-behind wins. They play with an edge that almost makes them scarier when they are losing.
Atlanta is packed with talent, but one player seems to enjoy playing the Rockies slightly more than the rest of the bunch. Freddie Freeman continued his tear against the boys in purple. On Tuesday night he drilled a 1st inning home run off of Juan Nicasio, then hit a three-run shot off of Edgmer Escalona in the 7th inning to bury the Rockies.
Freeman has hit 10 home runs in 20 career games against the Rockies. That ties the Rockies with the Mets for the team that he has hit the most bombs off of. The Mets, however, have played 48 games against the All-Star slugger.
As good as Freeman is, the Braves have a myriad of other players who can do damage. Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Dan Uggla may not have the most desirable batting averages, but they certainly can hurt a team in a hurry. That isn't to discredit Brian McCann, who has been an All-Star in the past, and Evan Gattis, who is a National League Rookie of the Year candidate.
On top of their hitting, the Braves starting rotation gets the job done. They are efficient, they throw strikes, and they get outs.
With all the talent that the Braves possess, is it really that far of a stretch to think that the Rockies really aren't that far behind Atlanta as far as talent goes? The Rockies may not be as refined, but name a player who the Braves have, and try to suggest that the Rockies don't have someone of equal talent. The Braves have the Rockies beat at first base, where Todd Helton simply isn't the Helton of old and Freeman is blossoming into a star for years to come, however, beyond that spot, the Rockies are as good, or better talent-wise than the Braves.
So why can't the Rockies compete with the Braves, or with the Marlins for that matter?
The Braves have a swagger that hasn't been seen from the Rockies since early April. They not only look like they aren't going to quit scoring runs, they also have a demeanor on the mound that they aren't going to let the opposition back into the game.
On the other side of the field, the Rockies look like don't know what to do with a lead. They don't take good at-bats, and they hope that their starting pitcher can shut down the opposition.
The Rockies lack a winning mindset. They lack a mentality in their clubhouse that demands excellence. They don't play baseball with a mentality that suggests they are only satisfied with winning. They play baseball with an attitude that looks like they are hoping to win, but if it doesn't happen, they have another shot the next day. That attitude is reflected in interviews from the top down.
The Rockies All-Stars all suggested publicly that they don't want the team to be sellers at the trade deadline, which is approaching on Wednesday at 2 pm Mountain Time. However, those statements came immediately after the team had played 10 straight games against NL West opponents and went a disappointing 4-6, scoring just 19 runs.
Immediately following those statements, the Rockies went 5-5 at home against the three worst teams in the National League. If the Rockies players want the front office to spent money and make a splash at the deadline, they shouldn't have mailed in 20 games in which they had a chance to move up.
Many wonder why the Rockies seem to follow the same formula year-in and year-out. The answer is simple. They don't demand excellence. Winning championships requires a team to push to get better, even after wins. This Rockies team, for years, under the guidance of three different managers, hasn't pushed themselves to get better even after a loss. If there is no accountability within the clubhouse or front office, how can fans expect this team to simply go on a run and make up the gap?
The Rockies need to change their mindset, or when the team rolls into August every year, the teams in the other dugout will continue to feast on them as they pursue their own championship aspirations.
