Thank you for your responses to creativity and dementia. I enjoyed checking out the "The Poetry Project," "Timeslips" and the documentary "I Remember Better When I Paint." I loved reading that creativity can be as simple as decorating cupcakes!
Today, I was reminded of Gail. I met Gail when she and her husband participated in Memory Club — an early stage education and support program for persons with early stage dementia and their support partner. A few years into her disease, I began to visit Gail most weeks at her home where she lived with her husband, Don.
Gail and I would go on outings — to the park, movies, musical concerts, art center, or out to lunch. After a while, it became more difficult to take Gail out and we would spend our time together in her home. We often looked at old family photos or the mail she received that week. Sometimes we would make cookies or I'd give her a pedicure.
But for Gail, it was when I put music in the stereo and held out my hand that she and I really connected. Gail and I would move to the music, we'd smile and laugh at each other (and ourselves). Although the living room drapes were closed, I often wondered what sort of shadows we made to the passersby. We'd stop only when we were too out of breath to continue. What a splendid memory.
In my archive of writings I've received from caregivers over the years, here's one I found from Gail's husband, Don. Gail and Don's life lessons on patience, humility, resilience and love still resonate with me.
By Don:
I have always believed that behind every cloud there is a darker, more ominous cloud. My wife, however, is different. She is optimistic, upbeat, and positive nearly all the time. Since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, she has remained happy most of the time. I wanted to ask my wife, Gail, if she could see any good coming from her illness.
Gail: How long have I been this way?
Don: You were diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease four years ago.
Gail: Only four years. Well, I think we are closer.
Don: We do love each other more. Why do you think that is?
Gail: We are like Mutt and Jeff. We are together all of the time.
Don: I put you and your needs ahead of my own. When I get up in the morning, my first thoughts are: "What can I do to help Gail? What does she need to start the day?" What other good has come from you having Alzheimer's disease?
Gail: You give me more hugs. You make me feel like a Queen every day.
Don: I wouldn't go that far, but I do think that I have given out more hugs in the last few years than I have the entire rest of my life. I am an adequate caregiver.
Gail: You are the best caregiver in the world! You just bring love and kindness; you radiate goodness, whether it's bringing me tea, or helping me get dressed, I know that you are there for me. There are a lot of good caregivers out there, but Michael is the best.
"Life is not the way it's supposed to be.
It's the way it is.
The way you cope with it.
Is what makes the difference."

To determined caregiver. I understand how you feel. My Mom, who is 85 yrs old, has this awfull disease and she treats me the same way. She is in an assisted living home, and I bring her medication, depends etc. She seems to treat me well when I am there visiting, but when I leave she complains about me, and it seems that I can't do anything right. I feel really bad because she doesn't treat my brother that way. It's only me. It's hard for me to accept that it's her sickness because we were so close before she started getting sick. I keep trying to analyze why it's just me that she treats that way. I pray that when I go to see her that I do and say the right thing so she won't get so upset with me after I leave. From reading the blogs, it appear most everyone has accepted the disease and I hope and pray that I can do the same thing.
Really moving comments here. I've been following a few caregiver sites and have found some very compassionate and...I must say, stressed out folks. Good luck to everyone. It's a tough road, but hopefully filled with many bright spots.
Thank you so much for all the information you provide! It's really helped me- I'm researching how to become a caregiver for my elderly parents.
I found this website, ShareWIK.com, which has offered a lot of helpful suggestions and information.
I just wanted to pass it along to anyone who might be interested.
ShareWIK stands for Share What I Know, and the site offers information from doctors and other experts as well as stories and advice from people who've had to go through the pain of 'parenting your parent.'
http://www.sharewik.com/videos/1705225 (This links to a really interesting video featuring several individuals who share their experiences)
http://www.sharewik.com/blogs/item/tips-for-a-smooth-transition-from-independent-to-assisted-living (This links to a blog post by a woman who shares her experiences transitioning her mother from independent to assisted living. Very insightful.)
Hopefully you find these links as helpful as I did!
If you are here because you or someone you care about, suffer from caregiver stress.
Then I have something exiting to share...
The fact that caregivers are the absolute #1 group of people that suffer form chronic stress.
And me being a person that cares deeply about the well being of others.
- I'm a therapist by trade and by heart.
I felt that it's important that caregivers get access to the care THEY need, to be there not only for their loved ones - but for them selves as well.
And I know of a really effective stress reduction technique.
It's an audio assisted form of meditation.
That literally, in minutes, start taking the edge of.
And over time can restore you to your sanity and sense of balance in your life.
So I have put up a sample on on my website for you to try.
It only takes you 15 minutes to try out.
And I truly hope it will bring back some peace to your life and give you some of your strength back.
I can't guarantee that this will work for you
Some of the people I have introduced it to, didn't experience any noticeable relief.
But most did, and that's whats important and they love it :-)
That's why I'm sharing this here with you.
In the hopes that it will help out where it is most needed.
At my website you can even have the sample sent to your email if your are too busy to try it out now.
In honor of the job you have taken upon you and in friendship.
Go to my site and give yourself some much needed care.
While we are waiting for the cure, my book,"Everything Will Be Alright: an Alzheimer's memoir" , which donates proceeds to Alz. research, continues to offer advice for living with the disease ( based on the 11 years that my husband and I shared it). Inspirational and practical advice helps people meet the challenges with love.reCxDj
My mom, at 85 has Alzheimer's and together we are learning and fighting this together, she unknowingly, me knowingly.
Thank you all very much for your comments, you have shown me there are other persons out there experiencing these same things, my mom is unfortunately one of those persons who shows a nasty attitude towards me and me only, I'm the sole caretaker, being the last of nine children ,eight alive.
My mom is at the stage where I bathe and dress her, feed her and take her to the bathroom, I hardly sleep at night, I sleep lightly waiting to hear when she needs to go to the potty, yes she wears pampers, but still is determined to go to the potty, so I get up with her..
We have a caretaker, someone from her church who comes in regularly to help, my mom treats her as a blessing and me as a cure, this hurts deeply, but I push this aside, I know she needs me, even when she's fighting me.do you know what she calls me.."Satan", she calls me Satan, everytime she does, it cuts deep, but I smile and continue on, I need to , she needs me..
I use every opportunity to give thanks to God for giving me the opportunity to take care of her, I give her massages, loving pats ,tell her I love you, say to her we are on this journey together until the end, I try do everything to make her life beautiful .
Your posts with your personal experiences have been a great help, again I say thank you all and we are not alone,thank God..
My mother died from this disease and now my husband has been diagnosed with the same. I am drawing on our inner strength, patience, and love to see us through. What a rollar coaster, as we share our coat of many colors.
How does one deal with an 88 year old man, my dad, who refuses to seek medical help, does not see how his anger and hatefulness is affecting those of us who love him. I am his 64 year old daughter, only child, who took the responsibility of taking away his vehicle and now he curses at me and will no longer talk to me on the phone. My heart breaks. He and my step-mother live 12 hours away, their care is managed by my step-brother and his wife who are absolute angels. I can handle his hatred, it is the disease, but does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to convince an AD person to submit to medical help? He is so verbally abusive, I don't know if a doctor would tolerate him in their office, but we need help.
Joyce, you lost your husband only less than a year ago - you haven't gone through a year of all the occasions that a year brings, so don't be too hard on yourself. Grief is a lifetime, but it just doesn't hurt as much a sthe years go by. Losing someone is very personal and you will feel better when you don't even expect it. I lost my sister 5 years ago and I didn't feel better for a long time until I finally started sleeping without crying and thinking too much. You just seem to go through life without feelings - just numb. I pray that your sadness lessons soon.
I lost my husband last November 22nd an still today I have my crying spells and miss him so much. When and do you ever get over the loss and move on? It seems it is taking me so long to recover and start my life without my husband. I keep busy but still there are those times when the tears just roll.
my dad has ALZ, and it is my mother that I feel sorry for- she has him 24/7, I am the closest sibling, yet 1 & 1/2 hours away- she refuses to move from their 4 story old home, what to do? But, my dad is mellowing, which can be a blessing as he has always been critical and unloving-
I often read these blogs (with a few tears shed for all of you out there & me too), but I haven't written before. My situation is so much like Sheri and Caregiver Daughter...after 6 years of care and the gradual decline, I am selfish enough to not want to let my Mum go, I love her more than anything else in the world. I try to keep a sense of humour (but it is hard lately) and I consider her personality changes in this way: Mum is "Dotty Jekyll" and "Mrs Hyde" is her rather nasty alter-ego (a monster from the id...for any fans of the movie Forbidden Planet). However as long as there is any spark of her lovable wonderful real self, I will cope with Mrs Hyde as best I can, and consider myself lucky to have had & still have a mother like her!
I agree with you Annette! We are soldiers in this terrible battle called AD. You as well as all of us have every right to feel sorry for ourselves at times. The way I look at it is no one grows up thinking this is what I want to do with my life (unless you do this for a living - they are the angels) I am a daughter not a spouse and those are different shoes that we wear.
It has not been a good few days and I am so afraid of what is happening. When I should feel relief that this battle may be ending, I am afraid of losing her. How can I be so selfish! I know in my head my Mom will be better off, but my heart won't let go.
Thank you again for letting me unload. Please keep my sister and me in your prayers as you will be in mine. Good Night. Here's to another day!!!
I generally feel sorry for myself and after reading all your comments, I still do, however it's good to know that I'm not alone in this battle and that there are others out there who feel the same as I do. Sheri I too receive no help from the children, but I consider this a small problem and choose to ignore it. (Too many other issues to consider) I try not to dwell on it, as it only makes me angry. Pam I have, like you, been married for a long time (29 years) and understand completely your feeling of loss and emptyness. This disease is so lonely. Mary, you are so lucky that you still have the kind, sweet man you married. Thank you for your empathy. Thank you all for your empathy and kind words. Each one of you fights a different battle, but in my eyes you're all angels. Let's soldier on!
What advice do you have when your loved one cannot read, care for or bath herself, hear well, speak coherently, does not know who you are, does not know who she is, misses her parents, cries....yet as you tuck her into bed says thank you dear. The advice I would like is how to cope with the other 23 hours and 59 minutes. Thank you. This is my sixth year.
I'm surprised that Gail could talk so clearly and logically since her disease has progressed enough that Don has to help her get dressed.
I'm dressing my husband who has had Alzheimer's for twelve years and he can hardly say a word. He still knows what he wants to say but can't get it out. However, that is why he suspected he had this terrible disease to begin with, the inability to find his words.
I am his 24/7/52 caregiver and he is going into the final stage. He hallucinates often, thinking little men are behind everything who are trying to rob us. He has recently started on an antidepressant and that has helped but hasn't completely removed the problem. This has been the hardest thing yet I have had to deal with. Some days it is constant (and nights too).
Our church has recently started a Men's Ministry just for my husband. One man comes one day a week and stays with him 3 to 6 hours and gives me a break. This is a wonderful relief.
When my sister and I first became aware of our mother's condition with AD she had suffered a stroke.
We talked with the Doctor who indicated that she probably would have a series of mini-strokes and than one that would/could be fatal. This could occur over the next year. The year passed and things seemed to
improve but not for the better. Mother became aggressive - more medication- sun-downers and time to go home. I did not live close to my sister and could
only talk with her on the phone. Seemed like nothing
really wrong with mother per conversation - but as my
sister told me she forgets your call and reverts to her
typical pattern.
I prayed many times that the Lord would just take her
home and out of this world. God listens but the timing
he controls. Having gone through a divorce and four and a half years later my sister tell me she can not
take care of mother any longer.
Six months after I remarried my new wife is confronted
with a mother-in-law mental condition. In two months
mother is living with us and yes life changed. In 1988 finding Alzheimer's assistance was difficult. But we at
time forget someone is watching over us although we are unaware. A change of job, a wonderful hospital (Albuquerque), evaluation of mother
and the Doctor says --your best bet is to take her off
of every medication she is taking. Days improve.
In 1994 mother left us. I thank God didn't listed to me.
My wife learned to love my mother. My wife now has AD
Virginia Satir's poem made me think.
The word cope, made me think... Thinking I don't want to ever cope again (have in the past, not lately:), thinking more...because in every moment, there is a brief feeling, thought, desire ect., then that moment is gone...the new moment is now here and on it's way out. I won't ever get that last moment back as it was & that moment was in my life for a reason. To me every second, every moment is a treasure because it is/was a second, a moment & I am living it! I, as all the caregivers here as well, as all of the AD people here have moments, all for each special reason. We are doing what we are doing, because in the "We" care!
And we are "Living" each moment.
Coping to me, means/represents giving up and giving in, believing nothing will ever get Any better, Nothing will be ever be good, so don't expect anything better! Ever!(Which can be un-proven in the next fleeting moment, proof good things can & do still happen, relish, delight in it,...for a moment :).. There can be & there are good moments! Cherish! Nurture!
Could try to explain more, just revised Virginia's poem for me, in my head and thought it might help others in a bit more positive way. Blessings to all.
"Life is the life we are living at this moment, there may not be a next.
It is what it is right now.
The way you live it,
Is what makes the difference."
I was very sorry to read Annett's blog and what a hard time she is having. My husband has had alz. for 6 years, but in that time he hasn't become what she describes her husband has become. He is certainly confused etc., but is still curteous and happy to please. Maybe he's in the minority, but he's easy to look after considering his length of time into the "journey".
Um, yea lol! I am in that same type position as a caregiver.
Though to probably many of you, for me to think this was funny might make you upset or angry that i took it that way? I was just so caught up in the sweetness of the whole conversation I started to tear up then when I read she called him Michael, I just lost it. I am sorry if that might upset some, but I found this to be honest and uplifting and so true!!!!!
ok so i am back again...i should have read the comments first but I was just so relieved that I could unload my feelings.
This goes to Annette and Pam: I was there in your shoes. I had watched the Alzheimers Project and felt that while it as trying to do a service it did not present an accurate portrait of a caregiver. Where were the sleepless nights lying awake wondering if YOU could take another day. For my sister and myself, I feel that we have been to hell and back! My Mom was abused for more than half her life and that is what she's remembering at times. With medication those episodes are subsiding. It's very hard to see this happening before your eyes and not being able to help. I am praying for you both!
I am a caregiver along with my sister for our Mom. I happened along this blog when I was wondering am I doing everything I can. Our Mom is in-home ( she lives in my home) hospice with a wonderful staff. Half of my siblings do nothing-no calls, cards or visits. I know that the time I have with Mom is limited but sometimes I just want to scream. I don't understand this disease. I wish so much to hear my name from her lips. She stares at me like she is trying to tell me something. I tell her it's ok if she wants to go home if she is tired, but I get no response. In my head I know the normal course of this disease will take her to God, but why does my heart not want this? I feel that I have been grieving but the process is not complete. I keep hearing this disease termed the long goodbye but even that is understated. With all this being said, I can tell you that this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but this was the most precious gift I have been given. I have learned so much about my relationship with my husband, children, my sister and her family as well as myself. I also have learned more about my Mom than I ever thought possible! Thank you for letting me unload!
I am having trouble coping with my spouse AD. She is constantly angry, upset and denies being ill with AD. She just wishes to sit and sleep. Give me some advice please
I am heartbroken over my spouses condition. I am caregiver and cannot afford high priced daycare. She is constant ly angry and upset.
I realize that every caregivers experience with this disease is different but my experience is about the same as Annettes. I really believe that my loving husband has already left me and in his place I am caring for a nasty shell of confusion. Sometimes I just sit and look at him wondering where the wonderful man I married 33 years ago went. Everyday I do my best to take care of him and have a life with him and every night I tell myself I will do better tomorrow. I for one certainly don't want anyones sympathy. "It's the way it is"
The job is a hard one ,no matter who it is .
I have been a caregiver for 40 yrs .
Still work 1 hour a day x5 days a week .
My sister is 55 fell and lost her short term memory . Now lives with me , The care of a love one is the hardest . Watching them go down hill slowly . I put it in Gods hands .
Thanks for all the caregivers , God bless you all.
Annette, I am so sorry that your experience with your loved one is so hard. I am so lucky in that most of the time, my husband is still the dear, loving and lovable man he has been ever since I first knew him. But I know that other people have been less fortunate. Please accept my sympathy and I'll keep you in my thoughts.
As a caregiver for my 73 year old mother I sometimes take for granted how upbeat and generally positive she is in dealing with her Alzheimers. She openly acknowledges she has Alzheimers and will ask folks she interacts with to have patience with her because she is forgetful.
I'm sorry but all these happy, lovey comments aren't realistic to most alzheimers patients nor their caregivers. Alzheimers takes away the original person and leaves in its place an individual who is nasty, hard to get along with, deceitful and who lies constantly to hide their disease. Some alien has metamorphised from the kind, thoughtful, helpful, honest and loving person that they once were. There's nothing nice or sweet about this disease and love is hard to give out when a caregiver is subjected to this on a daily basis. Don and Gail are not your typical couple. Don't sugar coat this monster that plagues us.
I love that Satir quote you end this week's letter with
Thank you for sharing Don and Ann's story. How typical -- such a delightful conversation is being held and then the AZ patient goes to his/her own world (e.g. Don is Michael). My Mom and I had such a fun conversation a few weeks ago -- she thought I was a high school friend even though she spoke to me as her daughter. You have to smile!
My mom, who is 93, has Alzheimer's and yet, she is always cheerful, upbeat and so positive in everything she does, she sets an example for all of us. I am thankful to God that she is otherwise healthy and happy. Her favorite passtime is doing word-seek puzzles with the TV tuned in softly in the background. I am sooooo lucky!! Her daughter (1 of 3),Fran.
I try for my wife Ann but I know I fall short its the hardest job I have ever had all one can do is try
Wow! I hope I am as good a caregiver as
for my wife Ann I am not always sure I am doing it right but I try I know sometimes I fall short the hardest job I have eve r had

Price for the right to remain fully armed
In America, victims of mass killings are collateral damage
Dec 16, 2012 | 3 Comments
Like many others, I can't stop crying. Not openly, but deep inside. Walled-off by well-crafted defense mechanisms.
I don't want to dwell on the unthinkable anguish of the families, but I can't escape the media barrage of details, speculation and commentary. I don't blame the messenger, but I hope people will challenge the message.
Don't let the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre and other mass murders fade into memory as if they represent unanswerable questions.
We ask, "Who could do something like this?" Regrettably, the functional answer is, "Someone who can purchase or otherwise acquire personal weapons of mass destruction."
We ask, "Why?" and then get mired in the psycho-babble. We don't need experts to tell us that humans suffering from the most extreme mental illnesses are capable of unspeakable evil. We know about the mental illnesses, but not how to prevent them.
We understand the easy accessibility to mass-murder weaponry, and we choose not to change. As mass killings rise, Americans reportedly have reduced their support for gun control.
I don't have the emotional energy to research and report on the pros and cons of gun control right now. But if the status quo continues, it means we have considered the cost-benefit ratio and decided that these deaths are an acceptable price for the right to remain fully armed.
In the final analysis it will mean that these victims, young and old, are considered collateral damage.

Similarly/sadly, we have had this discussion in society before. The exact same comment could be said about the use of alcohol. The stakes being considerably higher with alcohol use. And, in Yamhill County it is even glamorized.
Does this mean that the News-Register will no longer participate in any paid advertising of high-capacity lethal weaponry. That would be one bold step on your part, Jeb. ..or.. have you already done the cost-benefit ratio thingy on that decision?
people that die in violence from semi-auto guns are collateral damage so people can continue to purchase them.

Not sure what all the Friesen hate is about...10 playoff goals in the '03 playoffs. He did suck after that, but he was solid in '02-'03 and he stepped up come playoff time that year.
He was always a headcase and seemed to lose it awfully quick after '03 (in 204 GP with 4 different teams from '03-'04 on, he scored just 27 goals and added just 33 assists), and he was awful in '03-'04, but he was the right guy at the right time in '03...Devils probably don't win that Cup without him.
HATE HATE HATE Freisen!! He had 1 good playoff run, and then was a no show for 2 years..
Besides, I think I won the most passionate poster 2 years in a row due to my Freeze rants!!

Lemon Raspberry Bars
Pucker up!
No, I'm not smooching with you, I'm trying to prepare you for the lovely lemon-ness of these lemon bars!
I like a lemon bar that means business. No flat, barely lemon-tasting bar will do. It just won't!
I like 'em big. I like 'em chunky.
I like 'em big. I like 'em plumpy.
Chunky....chunky, chunky...chunky
and plumpy....plumpy, plumpy...plumpy
...ain't nothing wrong with lovin' chunky...
(Name that song or the movie it's in!)
So! Let me just say that these lemon bars do not disappoint. They are big. Big and packed with lemon goodness. The lovely ribbon of raspberry preserves really adds something special. I hope you try them!
Lemon-Raspberry Bars
Source: Marcy Goldman-The New Best of Better Baking
Printer Friendly
For the crust:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp grated lemon zest
For the lemon topping:
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp pure lemon extract
zest of 1 lemon
3/4 tsp baking powder
4 tsp flour
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9" square baking pan with baking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Prepare the crust: Combine all the crust ingredients in a medium bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then let cool for 15 minutes.
Prepare the lemon topping: Combine all the topping ingredients, except the raspberry preserves, in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the baked crust. Slowly pour the lemon topping mixture over the raspberry layer. Bake for 22-24 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325F and continue baking for 20-25 minutes longer or until topping is set. Transfer the baking pan to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Should it read 6 egg yolks instead of "eggs". I followed the recipe and the mixture was much too runny.
- June 17, 2012 at 5:39 PM
- Brandy K said...
Hi Shireen. The recipe is correct, it should be 6 eggs. Just be sure you use a 9x9 pan and bake the bars until they are set. I hope that helps! I'm sorry the recipe didn't work for you.
- June 17, 2012 at 6:35 PM
- Jessica said...
Can you make these bars with raspberry jam instead? The jam I have is seedless (which is what I would prefer to use).
- July 2, 2012 at 1:05 PM
- Brandy K said...
Hi Jessica. Raspberry jam should work just fine.
- July 2, 2012 at 1:11 PM
- Sugar Mama said...
Hi! These look phenomenal! Can you tell me your secret for keeping the lemon mixture from swirling together with the raspberry jam when you pour it in?
- December 10, 2012 at 8:06 PM
- Brandy K said...
Hi Sugar Mama! Thanks for stopping by. As for the swirling, I pour the lemon mixture very slowly...even there, there is always a little mixing of the two. I don't know what magic happens it the oven, but the layers always separate, raspberry on the bottom and lemon on top. I hope that helps. I worried about that too, the first few times I made these.

is it plain flour or self raising?

Root Motorola Defy Mini
100 Signatures Special
I have created a forum dedicated to the Defy Mini, as soon as a rooting method is out for it I will post it on the forums, until then let's try and build a small community for ourselves, the defy mini owners, experminent, ask, answer and talk on the forums, see you there.
As promised here comes the 50 Signatures Special, it's all about customization and personalization of your android device, make it look like if you would have Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or 4.1 (Jelly Bean) if your device isn't compatible or updateable to these version you can still have a nice looking android device.
Here are some launchers, themes, lockers, widgets, wallpapers and keyboardsthat will help you achieve your goal.
Holo Launcher, very small, lite and simple yet one of the best ICS Launchers out there.
Jelly Bean Launcher,I have never used this one but it looks very promising.
If you are using Go Launcher or Apex Launcher you can use these themes.
Jelly Bean Apex Theme
Jelly Bean Go Launcher Theme
Jelly Bean Theme Go Launcher
If you have Go Launcher you probably have Go Locker too.

Hopefully you like this special and these customization apps please your desires.
Great News, we have reached 10 signatures, no, 11, well our goal is to reach at least 100 or even more. Tell anyone you know about this petition to come by and sign it, there still is hope to root the Defy Mini, here is some proof, Sagett from El Salvador managed to root his Defy Miniin a very creative way. He used SuperOneClick to root the Defy (NOT DEFY MINI) and when the software waited at the last step to inject the SuperUser into the phone he swapped the Defy with the Defy Mini, here is a video as proof that he has SuperUser acces to his Defy Mini.
He also posted on a forum a tutorial, it is in his language but i managed to translate it for you in English.

Where's the mint...???
This smells like a wet forest floor, not violet...and certainly not mint. A waste of money, especially compared to Thymes' other fragrances (most of which are *awesome*).

Soothing relaxation
I enjoyed this fragrance so much on a nice cold/ snowy day.
The soothing scents was so relaxing and had its way to bring me back to memorable moments past. A nice way to spend a cold/snowy day.
All day enjoyment
It's been three days, already burned and gone. Great right in the room instead of having to take it to another room to tolerate. Every time my husband walks by he says "Mmm that smells good. Especially good while frying scallops or heavy fried food - it absorbs the smell that would linger.
My new love...
I live on the edge of the forest... old growth trees, moss covered rocks and tons of violets in the sunny patches. This scent really takes me to my favorite time of year when everything is new and fresh, the weather is warm; and I am sitting in my favorite spot in the woods over looking the village. This is when I'm at total peace and deeply grateful for all my blessings. Woodland Violet & Mint is grounded, peaceful, beautiful; but at the same time mint snaps fresh. This is my new favorite! I am going to be buying more.
Small, but VERY effective
I'm so glad I received this! The violet scent is perfectly balanced with the hint of mint. Makes it more fresh while also having the floral influence. I've put this in my master bath so I can smell the freshness long after my shower is over! Lovely scent, reminds me of Provence :)

Mandriva needs serious advertising.
It used to be the best desktop Linux out there and now almost nobody cares for it. Why? Because it is bad? Nope, but because we rarely hear it's name.
Phoronix: Mandriva Linux 2010.1 Gets A Summer Release
Following a period of uncertainty when it looked like Mandriva's parent company could disappear due to financial troubles, Mandriva is now on a better financial footing and as such they have released their long-awaited Mandriva Linux 2010.1 "Spring" release...
Mandriva needs serious advertising.
It used to be the best desktop Linux out there and now almost nobody cares for it. Why? Because it is bad? Nope, but because we rarely hear it's name.
Never used it, but props on the video handling on their website. Downloadable ogv links right below the flash box
Yup, Mandriva is some most excellent distro and 2010 Spring is a very solid release. My sister has been runing it since RC1 without a problem. And I agree with Apopas, Mandriva could definitely use more promotion. Being used to Gentoo and Arch I sometimes juts miss some more uptodate packages, but I guess this stability in versions is good for normal users.
When you need to reconfigure something in Ubuntu, you got to spend ½ an hour searching for a graphical tool to preform task (ex. reconfig grub). In Mandriva you just fire up the Mandriva Linux Control Center, and *BANG* 1min later you are done reconfiguring grub.
I've used Mandriva since Mandrake 7.2 (that was a result of the miserable state of RedHat 7.1, ask your grandkids about that one)
The thing that really sells me on Mandriva is the huge software base behind it. The i586 and x86_64 distributions come on their own DVDs which ads up to about 1/4 of the whole software base. Then there's the Penguin Liberation Front (http://easyurpmi.zarb.org) resources which adds fully configured ffmpeg, mplayer and other codecs to Mandriva's huge software base.
Then there's DrakConf which is a really, really, nice configuration center. I looked at Fedora, Ubuntu and a few others and realized how much I'd miss Mandriva if they went away. I'd cope but Mandriva is really in my comfort-zone.
As for paying for it, I've paid since they had their club and always bough the powerpacks. I don't need the powerpacks but Mandriva deserves the money.
I've been using Mandriva alongside Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSuse (all latest releases) for a couple of years, and it is certainly the equal of any. In some, minor respects it is even better than.
But therein lies the problem: if Mandriva is 'equal too, and only slightly better than', where is the need for it? It offers the same functionality, the same software packages, the same DE's, pretty much the same experience.
I like its aesthetic and philosophy, but we are really talking about a skin.
Now that it's on the ropes, it will be increasingly difficult to attract developers and users both.
Mandriva seems destined to fall by the wayside, unless it can come up with some major differentiator(s) between it and the others (and Mandriva is not the only one).
Everything wrong with it comes down to outdated business model and bad management.
I enjoy using them all, but they are all powerful, polished products that do exactly the same thing.

Review: For the Term of His Natural LifeUser Review - Lesley - Goodreads
As a narrative there are too many coincidences in the plot and the characters are largely flat. However, as a story that details the life and misery of convicts of the past I found it gripping. The use of detail is vivid. Not a light read. Be prepared for a very depressing story. Read full review

Comments about Raith Mid eVent:
I have used them on trails with a moderately heavy pack; you really feel the lack of cushioning then, with sore feet.
And on rugged stoney ground in outback Australia, with thick and spiky scrub. The boots are falling apart after only 3 trips of ~ 7 days each. Nowhere near as robust as my full leather Event boots -- those are well-proven and rugged. Will use these Raith boots only for day walks on trails now. And the leather Events for backpacking

Acciona, S.A. is a global infrastructure and renewable energy conglomerate that is publicly traded in Spain and controlled by the Entrecanales family. In 2006, the company joined the highly politicized cross-border takeover battle for Spain's largest electric utility, Endesa, by acquiring a 10% stake that it subsequently built up to 21%. Other interested suitors were E.ON and Enel, the largest electric utilities in Germany and Italy, respectively. In March 2007, Acciona's executive chairman Jose Manuel Entrecanales is considering three strategic alternatives: tendering its shares--and realizing a capital gain of 1.2 billion euros, 13% of Acciona's market capitalization; holding out as a strategic but minority shareholder in Endesa; or negotiating an agreement with Enel and/or E.ON.
learning objective:
The case illustrates the interplay between corporate ownership, business strategy, and government relations in an international setting.

Business & government relations; Conglomerates; Corporate governance; Diversification; Energy; Family-owned businesses; Finance; Global business; International finance; Mergers & acquisitions; Strategy

Taking Care of Yourself with Exercise
Goodbye, Blues
Aerobic exercise produces wonderful brain chemicals called endorphins. To get them in circulation, you need to break a sweat and do at least 20 minutes of aerobics or cardio exercise with an elevated heart rate. Less just isn't enough.
The flood of endorphins has been called the runner's high. Endorphins make you feel good. They lift your moods, even for hours later.
If you experience late-afternoon blues, if you battle anxiety and depression, get your endorphin lift daily or at least three times a week. If you are an emotional eater, break the pattern by doing regular cardio workouts.
Our favorite story about the endorphin lift is about a woman who was so depressed she wanted to commit suicide. But she didn't want her family to suffer because of this, so she devised a plan to kill herself. She would go out running so hard and so long that she would die. Well, she didn't die the first day, so she set out the second day, and the third, and the fourth. Soon she felt so good that she no longer wanted to die; in fact, she wanted to live. She cured her own deep depression through using those endorphins.
We find it easier to do the cardio when we enjoy the day-to-day benefits of soothed anxiety and happier moods. This activity also forestalls lots of stress eating. Other activities that can soothe stress eating before it starts are found in Simple and Effective Stress Soothers.
Exercise Your Mental Function
The road to reaching your ideal body size can't be driven to in the comfort of a Cadillac or SUV! Be prepared to walk, run, and skip—in other words, to exercise—along the way.
Recent studies show that people who exercise think better. They score better on tests. They exhibit more creativity than when they don't exercise. Yes, exercise improves brain functioning.
Do you want your children to get better grades? Go shoot hoops after school with them. Ride bikes with them or take them with you to the gym.
Do you want to be more creative or to perform better at work? Get your regular dose of exercise and do it for life. Exercise increases cerebral blood flow and stimulates nerve cell growth.
If you feel sluggish and low on energy, by now you know the solution: get out and move. Just as healthy eating can correct late-afternoon tiredness, so can exercise. You could look up at the clock and discover that you just sailed through the late afternoon, and it's already time to quit work or eat dinner.
You will have energy to keep up with the kids or your spouse. You will have energy to enjoy social activities in the evening and not collapse after dinner in front of the TV—but perhaps not at first. As Sandy says, "When I haven't exercised regularly, and I start up my exercise program again with aerobics in the mornings, I come in from my walk or finish my videotape and I am exhausted! I probably start back at the level where I left off a few months before. But that feeling of tiredness is worth it—it leads to regaining the energy I want!"
Overall, Your Health
The most significant activity for enjoying good health throughout your life is exercise. Nothing else counts as much. Food choices and supplements are important, but overall, nothing beats exercise for keeping you healthy.
Exercise helps you maintain weight loss, strengthens bones, eases hormonal difficulties, strengthens your heart, keeps blood pressure in a healthy range, and keeps your digestion and elimination functioning well. It even helps prevent certain forms of cancer.
What's not to like about exercise? Most likely, the fact that you have to do it. Make it a priority. Yes, we all have those days when we just don't want to do it. Taking a day off is fine. Taking two days off is risky. It is too easy to just stop entirely.
Do whatever it takes to exercise. Do it with a friend, schedule it into your daily agenda, do it with a trainer or your spouse or children. Do it, and the rewards will speak loudly.
Remember to get in motion. That is the best way to stay in motion.
