Tuition, housing, and board charges constitute most of what is billed through your tuition account. These charges are billed before each semester commences.
Other charges that may appear on your tuition bill are health center charges, fines for campus traffic violations, library fines, damage fines, ID card replacement fees, health insurance premiums, and automobile registration fees.
Hamilton College requires that all students have some form of health insurance coverage. For students who are not covered under a parent's policy, or students who would like additional coverage, Hamilton offers a limited benefits health insurance plan. Coverage under this plan is voluntary. However, if proof of other comparable health insurance coverage has not been provided to the Health Center, students will be automatically enrolled in and billed for this plan. An outline of the plan and premium information may be obtained from the Director of Purchasing and Property Management at 315-859-4999.
Other than the provisions of the Medical Service and Health Insurance programs described above, the College assumes no responsibility for medical or health services to its students.
Semester charges are billed in July and in December. Semester charges are due in August and January, respectively. If payment is not received by the due date, a late payment fee of $100 is assessed. An additional late fee of $200 will be assessed if the amount due for the semester is not paid by October 1 for the fall semester and March 1 for the spring semester.
General questions about your bill can be answered by the Business Office (Philip Spencer House; open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; for student accounts, telephone 315-859-4324, fax 315-859-4947, or e-mail (ehemmel). The Business Office acts as a clearinghouse for the various charges and credits which appear on the bill. In many instances the Business Office will not have detailed records concerning the items on the bill. We suggest that you contact the specific office if you have a question concerning an item. The general College number is 315-859-4444.

Although students register for classes with the College Registrar rather than with the Business Office, their standing with the Business Office can affect their registration.
Before any students are permitted to register, they must pay the prior semester's tuition, the student activities fee, room and board charges, and any previous balances.
In computing the amount a student must pay before registration, the College takes the following sources of payment into consideration:
The July and December bills include:
"Pending credits" refers to aid that has been included in the student's financial aid package but has not been disbursed as of the date of the bill. Work-study awards will not be deducted from your balance.
Frequently, aid funds such as the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans, Federal Pell Grants, and New York State TAP awards do not arrive at Hamilton until after the semester begins. Although "pending credits" are not actually received by the College, they are used to reduce the amount the student must pay to be financially eligible to register.
To avoid late payment fees and to prevent delays in registering, please be sure that your semester bills are paid by the due dates. A $100 late payment fee may be charged if you pay late.
You can pay by mail, in person or on line. Checks or money orders must be in United States dollars drawn on a United States bank and made payable to Hamilton College. Postdated checks are not accepted.
If money coming to you from awards, grants, scholarships, and loans exceeds the amount you are being charged on your bill, you may request a refund from the bursar. Checks can be picked up at the Business Office by the students.
Credit balances on your bill that are not related to financial aid will result in a refund check only if you request one from the Business Office. Credit balances due to overpayment by check or ACH transactions will not be refunded for fourteen days to assure clearance of funds received. If no refund is requested, the credit balance is automatically applied to the next month's charges. A credit balance on one month's bill may therefore be entirely used up in the following month.

I'd say the really, really frightening thing is the situation with GTK. That was already apparent at last year's Desktop Summit, where Benjamin Otte described his team as mostly just him, told the audience that GTK3 had some very bad issues (with styling, iirc) that could only be helped by doing a GTK4 really soon -- and that Windows and OSX support were just not coming along.
That sounds like bad news for a couple of important and widespread projects, like inkscape, gimp or mypaint. And I couldn't care less about gnome, the project or the desktop, but those applications are important to so many people and have so much effort invested in them, starving their foundations is scary.
The XFCE devs are smart sticking with GTK+2. GTK3 is dead in the water.
They really need to start supporting the newer technologies (GTK3, Gnome 3 Panel + Unity Indicators), otherwise XFCE will fall to the wayside as an alternative desktop. Whether they like it or not, most new development will occur on Gtk3, including Wayland. By sticking with an older, undeveloped toolkit, they are only hurting themselves and their users.
I'm in a dilemma about supporting migration or sticking to GTK2, since I want Wayland and updated plugins, but I'm all for performance and memory efficiency too, and GTK3 doesn't seem to care about that a lot.
It would be interesting if they just ported everything to Qt5 instead Although it's highly unlikely.
Well, they are porting things to GTK3, but at a slower pace. No need to rush, really, it's better to get everything done correctly instead of just porting as soon as possible.
Sticking with Gtk2 is the correct decision. I thought Gtk3 had technical reasons to be made, but it turns out it's just much worse than Gtk2 on every front… 50% more memory usage is not "slightly more"… Also it's pretty hard to find any dark Gtk3 theme at this point.
Last edited by stqn; 09-10-2012 at 02:52 PM.
There is no pressing need to urgently dump mature, stable, memory efficent design and run with our pants down to the, apparently, one man project of GTK+ 3. The dev himself is saying it should be scrapped and work started on GTK + 4 because its so bad..
I suspect people pushing this "rush rush" line are the diminishing breed of hard core desktop gamers or people with version number envy.

Hi: 9° Lo:6°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Monday 07 January 2013 Updated: 10/01 16:38
Caldy 21 Bromsgrove 10
National Two North
THERE was a disappointing start to the new year for Bromsgrove on Saturday as they fell to defeat at Caldy in a game they dominated for large periods.
The forwards were so far on top in the first half that it was a travesty to their endeavours that they went in at half time a point behind. The front row were dominant in all phases with George Glenn being prominent, well supported by Kev Salisbury and Paul Norris. Behind them, Steve Smith and Wayne Cooper also performed well and it was only when the latter went off concussed early in the second half that Bromsgrove's dominance declined.
The back row were their usual abrasive selves and all this gave scrum half Dave Brazier a good platform to work from which he used well.
But despite their territorial superiority, Town failed to turn it into points, missing kickable penalties, spurning other opportunities and failing to deal with Caldy's strong counter-attacks - with young half backs Brazier and Bar Bartlett pulling off try saving tackles.
Caldy went ahead when desperate defending from the visitors saw them concede a penalty which Richard Vasey converted.
It was not until the 38th minute that Bromsgrove got themselves on the scoreboard when Glenn went over in the corner following good work from Warren Oliver, Brazier and Bartlett.
The lead proved to be short-lived though as Vasey's drop goal on the stroke of half time gave Caldy the narrowest of interval leads.
They stretched their advantage in the first quarter of the second half though as they achieved parity up front, allowing their backs to attack from close range, rather than relying on the long range attacks of the first half.
Vasey added another penalty in the 45th minute and that was followed by Gavin Roberts crossing for a converted try five minutes later.
Town were still in the game at this stage but poor decision making and errors at critical moments cost them dear, and it was the hosts who extended their lead after 65 minutes when winter John Parker had too much pace for the visiting defence.
A flurry of Bromsgrove substitutions added a bit more spark to the performance but regrettably for the visitors they were still not clinical enough to add any more scores.
Bromsgrove, who sit 11th in the table, entertain fourth placed Otley tomorrow (2.15pm).

Get Padre on Portable Strawberry Perl
Normally you could just install it as any other Perl module using the CPAN or CPANPLUS shell.
$ cpan cpan> install Padre
You can try that or see further details here:
see the section on Wx at the bottom if it complains that your WxWidgets? is too old
Subversion Quick Start Guide
(tested on Debian Lenny)
- make sure your cpan works - make, gcc, etc
- make sure you remove all traces of wxWidgets 2.6 from your system
- install wxwidgets (2.8 or later) - cpan Alien::wxWidgets will download and compile and install it for you
- install (or upgrade) Wx - cpan Wx
- install Module::Install (if its not already there)
- add the following settings to cpan
o conf build_requires_install_policy yes ; o conf commit o conf prerequisites_policy follow ; o conf commit
- svn co http://svn.perlide.org/padre
- cd padre/trunk/Padre
- sudo cpan .
- ./dev.pl
Linux in general
There is an experimental and quite old executable for Linux that can be downloaded from here: http://www.perlide.org/download/padre_0.14.1_linux_i686.bz2 You need to unzip it and make it executable. When running it has an initial warning popup but then it seems to work.
Mandriva 2009.0 comes with pre-packaged Padre 0.10. New releases of Padre are quickly backported. Mandriva cooker (development version) is following upstream quite closely.
Jerome Quelin who is both a Padre developer and a Mandriva maintainer keeps Padre up to date in Mandriva.
Fedora 10 is going to include Padre. Currently they have v0.10 packaged. F-10 comes with Wx Version: 0.81 wxWidgets 2.8.7
Marcela Maslanova keeps Padre up to date in Fedora.
Source code
Padre is released as a CPAN package. You can download and install it using CPAN.pm or CPANPLUS. The released versions can be seen here http://search.cpan.org/dist/Padre/ and here http://kobesearch.cpan.org/dist/Padre.
As Padre has many dependencies probably the easies is, to install the binary distribution where available from the distributions (Mandriva, Fedora) and then use CPAN.pm to upgrade.
If this is not possible read on:
The difficult part will be to install some of the prerequisites:
- Installing wxWidgets (that Alien::wxWidgets tries to solved)
- Installing wxPerl (the Wx distro) from CPAN.
Mattia Barbon did a great job with them but they are still difficult to install. Any help with this would be welcome. See the wxPerl web site and mailing list.
Additional help can be provided by:
- Describing the results you have on various operating systems
- Asking the various downstream distributors to include Padre
- Creating a stand-alone version using PAR
Help in any of those is appreciated. Please post links to any conversation you might have with the distro maintainers so others can follow up.
MS Windows
Strawberry Perl
Download Strawberry Perl from here: http://www.strawberryperl.com/
On Strawberry Perl 5.10, starting from version 184.108.40.206 you can install Padre by starting the CPAN shell and typing
cpan> install Padre
On previous releases of Strawberry Perl 5.10 you can install it following these steps
cpan> look Alien::wxWidgets $ perl Makefile.PL $ dmake $ dmake test $ dmake install $ exit cpan> look Wx $ perl Makefile.PL $ dmake $ dmake test $ dmake install $ exit cpan> install Padre
Once it is installed you can start Padre either by
Start/Run and type in padre
or by creating a shortcut and then clicking on it.
When creating the shortcut use the following as command:
C:\strawberry\perl\bin\wperl.exe C:\strawberry\perl\bin\padre
note we are using wperl here instead of perl in order to avoid the extra command shell window.
Active Perl
The manual installation is still a bit rough but we are working on improving it.
1) (A) Most of the modules - can be taken from the main ActiveState? Package Repository.
(B) For Active Perl there are prebuilt PPM versions of Alien::wxWidgets and Wx (aka. wxPerl) and can be installed from http://wxperl.co.uk/.
So add the wxperl repository to the PPM: http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository (for detailed instructions see http://wxperl.co.uk/ppm.html ) (and even more info here http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html )
Adding the repository to your PPM repository list: In PPM4 (ActivePerl? 820+) this is most easily done via the GUI menu option: Edit -> Preferences.
If you use PPM3 - or used to command line (==DOS , still usable for PPM4) - you can do:ppm rep add wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository
(C) For Module-Starter Version: 1.50 - the trouchelle.com repo should be added the following way (DOS command line):ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/
2) Install all the packages (except of course perl) listed as "requires" on
http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/Padre/Makefile.PL - by using ppm.
Don't worry about the order of installation and report us any problem you encounter.
You can do in by searching the "requires" packages listed in the above link - either by using the PPM4 GUI, or searching PPM command line (==DOS):ppm search App::Ack
The result may look like this:C:\Documents and Settings\orenm>ppm search App::Ack Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not modified 1: ack A grep-like program specifically for large source trees Version: 1.86 Released: 2008-07-09 Author: Andy Lester <firstname.lastname@example.com> Provide: App::Ack version 1.86 Require: File::Basename Require: File::Next version 0.4 or better Require: Getopt::Long Require: Term::ANSIColor Require: Test::Harness version 2.5 or better Require: Test::More Repo: ActiveState Package Repository CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/ack-1.86/ C:\Documents and Settings\orenm>
So now you shall do:ppm install ack
3) then open the cpan client and install Padre:c:> perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan> install Padre
Oren Maurer reported that you might need to force it:
cpan> force install Padre
at some point you might encounter an error like this:
Running install for module 'Padre' Running make for S/SZ/SZABGAB/Padre-0.06.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.45) Fetching with LWP: http://ppm.activestate.com/CPAN/authors/id/S/SZ/SZABGAB/CHECKSUMS Alert: While trying to 'parse' YAML file 'D:\ActiveState\Perl\cpan\FTPstats.yml' with 'YAML::XS' the following error was encountered: Usage: YAML::XS::LibYAML::Load(yaml_str) at D:\ActiveState\Perl\lib/YAML/XS.pm line 70.
The reported solution was this:
[reach the cpan shell:] C:\>cpan cpan> o conf yaml_module '' cpan> o conf commit commit: wrote 'C:\Perl\lib/CPAN/Config.pm' cpan> q
(See: http://groups.google.com/group/de.comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_thread/thread/3a347d02a1ebf464 and http://perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2008-September/009779.html )
Other things that to do and can help:
- upgrading last version of Encode - using ppm ,
For upgrading all PPM packages, do this (Windows command line, a.k.a Dos)ppm upgrade --install
- upgrade of Wx - also by using ppm ,
- installing Alien-wxWidgets (the same way... ppm),
- And now - do (again with ppm):
ppm install --force Alien-wxWidgets-dev
(See: http://meorero.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/padre-on-ms-windows-with-activeperl-5100-build-1004/)
For more info about "ppm - Perl Package Manager, version 4" - see the ActivePerl? 5.10 Documentation: http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/bin/ppm.html
The next Debian release may have wxPerl in it, albeit with an old version of wxWidgets.
until then, the key is to uninstall all wxwidgets and wxperl related packages, and to install enough of the -dev packages to allow Alien::wxWidgets to build version 2.8.8. Once that works, cpan install Wx and from there Padre should install (see the Subversion quick install instructions above for more)
Installation of Alien::wxWidgets fails, because configure can't find gtk.h. Simply do:
apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxbase2.8-dev libwxbase2.8-0
and install these other dependencies available from the Ubuntu repository:
apt-get install libmodule-build-perl libextutils-cbuilder-perl libmodule-pluggable-perl g++
finally, install the remaining Perl modules via CPAN:
cpan ExtUtils::CBuilder Alien::wxWidgets Wx
(NOTE: Although libextutils-cbuilder-perl is available from the repository, it only contains version 0.18, whereas Padre requires version 0.24)
Ubuntu seems to be in the process of including Padre some info I found:
- Its page in Launchpad is https://launchpad.net/padre
- link to where they import our SVN repository https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/padre/trunk
- See also #ubuntu-motu on Freenode
- https://edge.launchpad.net/~perl seems to be the group dealing with perl stuff, I sent them a message on 2009.02.06 asking for help
- https://edge.launchpad.net/~perl-jam might also help but that is a one man group so I left it alone for now.
Some more useful links
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ
- The request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/326353
Fedora has wxPerl since at least FC8
- http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-perl-devel-list/2008-July/msg00311.html
- http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-perl-devel-list/2008-August/msg00000.html
Fedora 8 has
- wxGTK-2.8.7
- perl-Wx-0.74
- perl-Alien-wxWidgets-0.31
This should be sufficient:
# rpm -ivh perl-Wx perl-Alien-wxWidgets
Fedora 9 has
- wxGTK-2.8.7
- perl-Wx-0.81
- perl-Alien-wxWidgets-0.32
This should be sufficient:
# rpm -ivh perl-Wx perl-Alien-wxWidgets
Mandriva 2008.1
has these:
- perl-Alien-wxWidgets Version: 0.33-2mdv2008.1
- perl-Wx Version: 0.81-1mdv2008.1
To install Padre follow these:
$ urpmi perl-Alien-wxWidgets $ urpmi perl-Wx $ cpan cpan> install Padre
Open Suse
On the wish list: http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Development#P
Has Wx version 0.82
g-cpan -i Padre
should work but you need a threaded perl. If you have trouble installing please file a bug here or on http://bugs.gentoo.org depending where do you think the problem is.
More detailed instructions:
- Make sure your perl is compiled with USE="ithreads" ( generally in /etc/make.conf ) and emerge perl
- If you don't have g-cpan installed, emerge app-portage/g-cpan
- g-cpan -i Padre
g-cpan often is incapable of properly detecting dependencies. Installing from source often works better:
emerge dev-perl/Alien-wxWidgets dev-perl/wxperl perl -MCPAN -e 'install Padre'
Note: this method is only recommended if g-cpan fails to recursively install dependencies that the CPAN shell would otherwise identify.
Installing Padre from the CPAN shell may upgrade core modules provided by the core Gentoo perl install, so be prepared to downgrade those modules when emerging other packages or upgrading the system. A 'force install Padre' afterwards can help upgrade the conflicts again.
Also, one or more of the modules may require perl 5.10. This is not a part of any portage tree as of yet and can only be found in the perl overlay. See Gentoo Bug#206455.
On OS X, you cannot use the 'perl' executable, you have to use the 'wxPerl' executable (see this thread regarding wxPerl invocation).
the most reliable way to install on OSX may be (there will be some test failures - which you'll have to force install, including Padre itself, due to wxPerl issues):
cpan Alien::wxWidgets wxPerl -MCPAN -eshell $ install Padre
and then replace the /usr/local/bin/padre script with the updated version at http://padre.perlide.org/browser/trunk/Padre/script/padre
OS X 10.4 has wxPerl 0.22, 10.5 has a more recent version (0.6x for some x)
Aside from building from source, you can also install newer versions of Wx on OS X using a package manager:
fink install wxmac28
port install wxWidgets
installing _and_ upgrading wxWidgets and wxPerl
If you have trouble you can check which version of wxWidgets you have:
$ perl -MWx -le'print "Wx Version: $Wx::VERSION " . Wx::wxVERSION_STRING()'
and on Mac:
$ wxPerl -MWx -le'print "Wx Version: $Wx::VERSION " . Wx::wxVERSION_STRING()'
We use Wx 0.87 and wxWidgets 2.8.8 so you probably should have those (or newer) too.
When installing Alien::wxWidgets it will ask if you want to compile wxWidgets. Do you want to fetch and build wxWidgets from sources? If you don't have any installed or if you have an old version (< 2.8.8) then you should answer yes. It will try to download the source code of wxWidgets which is big and the download often fails.
To get around that you can download the file manually and put it in the extracted directory of Alien::wxWidgets.
Something like this:
$ cd /tmp $ wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-2.8.8.tar.gz $ cpan cpan> look Alien::wxWidgets $ cp /tmp/wxWidgets-2.8.8.tar.gz . $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install $ exit cpan>quit $

Taht olny wkros if ebvdoyery kowns the croerct slepling to bigen wtih. Just because words can be understood that doesn't make them easy to read.You know, most human brains actualy read the first and last letter in each word, check all the letters in the middle (without being in any order) and then recognise the word.
If this realy bothers you then I have to wonder how damaged you brain actually is...
Spelling words correctly is surely a good thing - it makes communication easier. It seems clear that to some extent you agree; otherwise why would you put (most of) the letters in the words of your quoted post in the correct order? How do you write your CV?
With that said, we all come here because it offers us something that we cannot get elsewhere (or possibly not so easily), and for that I think a few typographical errors are a small price to pay
Moreover, an article can be 100% grammatically and syntactically correct and still be hard to read or just yuck. Communication and writing are skills. For some people they come natural, while other people could use a little teaching.
As for any other job, if you want to make a living out of writing articles then I think it's important that you are skilled in what you are doing. I think it would be beneficial, not just for his readers, but also for himself, if Michael would sign up for a writing course.

wrote a more advanced dead code elimination pass. There is only one Mesa IR optimization missing from glsl_to_tgsi that I've found to actually make a difference in the shader output: the pass that eliminates extra moves to output registers. But that's actually just covering up a problem in the GLSL compiler - the pass should really be implemented there.

Recently I received a message from a woman I admire deeply whom I'll call Rose. She wrote:
"Two years ago we discovered that Charlie (my husband with dementia) could no longer navigate our canoe. I stormed, stomped and basically had a meltdown when it was apparent that our canoeing was over. I felt robbed.
"Then, our son taught me how to navigate. Charlie, however, no longer felt safe in the canoe. So I decided to get a one-person kayak. In some way, I felt like I was betraying Charlie. I tried to get past that.
"Today, I 'soloed' in my new kayak. Charlie helped me launch it in calm waters tonight. I was scared, but with his encouragement and support, I managed."
Rose writes, as many of you have as well, that caregiving brings with it guilt, anger, loss and even resentment. And her story of the two-person canoe turned solo kayak may be reflective of the way many caregivers experience changes in their life and in their relationship.
The story speaks of Rose letting go of something pleasurable she and Charlie shared. The story exposes the loss of the way things used to be. Charlie may still be there for Rose, yet, in some ways he no longer is.
Moreover though, I think Rose's story is about opportunity.
I believe that Rose has begun to open up to new possibilities and discover qualities about herself not fully recognized until now. Rose is finding joy and meaning in her life in fresh ways and maybe most importantly, giving herself permission to do so.
Like Rose, each of you has the opportunity to transform your loss and discover untapped wells of internal strength and inner resources. Through caregiving you can receive a new awareness of your abilities and a renewed sense of identity. This awareness can build self confidence about the future and about what is possible for you — even infusing a sense of courage.
Often this transformation begins to unfold when caregivers focus on what they can change and begin accepting what they can't. Rose can't change the disease her husband has or the way it alters their partnership. Rose can love Charlie unconditionally and paddle her solo kayak with renewed vision and possibility.
"Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge."

Thank you. A very inspiring and uplifting message
Really--look at your words--some changes seem negative but they are making room for positive--really, I mean really. So it seems negative my relatively young husband has suffered from dementia for years and now at 63 can not do anything he used to. So its positive and having to do things on my own opens doors and makes me try new things. Wow --I am glad to hear that cause I was so foolishly seeing it as negative that my husband of 43 years can not fully enjoy his or our life.
Oh, Curt my heart breaks for you. We in the Early Onset group do a juggling act not to be believed. And my goodness you still have children at home. I hope you learn patience it will help and for me I always ask the question "disease or spouse ?" and to survive u Got to, got to give the pass if it's disease. It makes the heart and soul easier. You can't blame someone for something they can't control. My husband this last weekend had to adjust my being away for a funeral of my Best Friends Dad. First time I left him with non family members, I came home to an Angry man, mad at me for leaving him with other people. I listen to the anger (really fear) and then said I am sorry you can't understand so lets go Weed the garden. Over the weeding his VERY anger mood pass. I wasn't mad, why should I waste my energy on what he can't change. We love our spouses......Curt it's not what any of us thought our lives in our 50's would be like. I think accepting who we are and what we can do will give us the guidance we need to get through this. Everyday caregives to this disease need all the love that we can give ourselves to make it.
Thanks to all who have shared their thoughts... it helps in knowing others understand. Our jouurney started about 6yrs ago with intermittent "forgetfullness". The evening he came with the checkbook and said he couldn't figure it out; for someone who excelled in figures and logic was like the brick that hits the head... we went through the many "rule out" test and then heard beginning dementia and later Alz. I went to several Alz classes and read every Alz book and tried 2 support grps. Yes, he was started on meds, but it was like chipping away a cell at a time and progressively downhill. He lost all interest, needed help with most activities of daily living and his personality began to change from the kindess, most thoughtful person I had known. We made it through a few years and then I needed someone to come in so I could do the normal errands. He began falling more and at first, with his help, I could get him up; later kind neighbors helped. As things progressed he was hospitalized a couple times for other health issues... each time failing more until about a year ago he went to an assisted memory care unit. The adjustment period for both of us is difficult... the daily "I want to go home", the many falls... thank God no breaks... for me, the helplessness, crying, sadness, depression, loss of the joy of life we knew, just missing him here... Even now there are good and bad days... but guess that's life... thanks for being there...
Curt.....I meant www.thealzheimerspouse.com
I think you would find it very helpful to go on website www.alzheimerspouse.com. Lots of early onset advice there.
Just concluding my initial thought. .Wonderful people who come into the home when I am gone. Additional expense, but well worth it. .My wife has such limited capacities for doing things.. can still carry on conversations . . with "mostly" accurate assertions. .Does not matter any more as to the specifics or details of conversations. .Still is able to recognize most everyone, although the names escape quite often. I have never considered myself a good caretaker and certainly would not have in a million years predicted this outcome. I am impatient and often get frustrated, which I know does not help matters . .I worry and am so anxious about the future..There are days when I am so convinced that I can not do this anymore. .My wife does not enjoy games, can no longer read or write. .cannot dial a phone or work a remote. .She had been so active in the past. She enjoys going for rides..at times short walks. .I know I have to start the process of looking at assisted care living facilities. .No LTC insurance. .Moved to area where there is additional help with family, for which I am grateful. I can't imagine those of you who are alone in this. .I know work for me is my escape and at time my sanity. .Have continued to try and carve out life in spite of all that is going on. .People tell me that I have to take care of myself and kids. .I will, but it is very difficult. What do the rest of you caregiving spouses of early onset do to make it through? Mid 50's. .
I've read with both empathy and heart-felt sadness the stories of so many of both the care-giver and those cared for. I see so many similarities, yet everyone has a unique and special story to share. With the similarities, there is a distinction between the relationship of the caregiver and those stricken with this relentless disease. A stricken spouse elicits different emotions with a care giver than that of a parent or sibling. .The heartache is similar, but the emotion is different. My situation is that my wife of 32 years (55 years old currently) has had symptoms for 10 years, but was "officially" diagnosed (early onset AD) a year ago. . She was in the prime of her career, motherhood and active community member. . She had designed new home, which we were forced to sell. (built on premise of dual incomes) . had to leave a familiar neighborhood. .give up a career in which she obtained Doctorate level university work. .I go through the guilt of not being an understanding,attentive and compassionate spouse. .We had been told for years that it was psychosomatic, borderline personality disorder, mood disorder. . up to 30 different anti depressants were prescribed ..finally a conclusive identification. .She has already progressed through the stages where any medications would be helpful. .eyesight is failing. .major depth perceptions, limited congnitive ability. .speech is becoming laborious. .I am continuing to work. .Have wonderful people who come in the home when
i am a 91 yearold mother with numerous health problems with a 62 year old married son with frontal lobe dementia. He wants to stay with me but I physically and emotionally cannot care for him. He stays with me usually 4 days every other week. Hw no longer has language capability and needs help with all his daily activities. How do I keep him occup[ied when he is with me. I have not been able to find any games to occupy his time when he is with me. He cries whem he has to go back home and I love him deeply. How can I help him?
Dear Mary,
In answer to your post. Seek a divorce. It is the kindest and best thing for him, to have the advantages provided in Canada. And it's the best for you. You have another option after divorce -- you could go to Canada and marry him again if that was what you felt deeply that you wanted. God is surely much more forgiving than we can understand.
Play simple games with them. a tral domino game - simple card games, It seems to keep them more alert
Thanks Kathryn! Glad you had a great weekend! Those are moments that you will treasure forever! Always remember that it is OKAY to feel a mess sometimes... it is an aweful disease that we are dealing with. When i was consumed with All that was negative and happening in my life... the misery grew louder. (Like a little kid wanting attention) But when i acknowledged those feelings and focused on positive things as well, that is when things came into balance for me... Things will always get out of balance again & again, but i found a perspective to help me get it back in line and keep it running a little more smoothly for a while. Your story of shopping made me smile for you. Glad you had a wonderful 2 hour moment with your brother! Mom and i had Hot Dogs for supper, and she couldn't get over what/how they were made. She thought they were really a clever thing! She thought it was the first time she had ever eaten one and that i was very clever for knowing how to make them. That moment gave me a treasury of smiles to make it through a rough time that awaits ahead! Thanks again and hugs!
To Julie & Darla, thank you for encouraging me! My weekend was better - I took one posters advice here and took my brother out shopping - he held the list and pushed the cart, it was a 2 hr. adventure as opposed to a 15 min. one; we had some fast food; laughed; and he was so appreciative to get out of the house and I felt great letting go of the resentment at that moment and enjoyed my brother before he becomes a total shell of himself. I had stopped thinking about how horrible it must be for him to be stuck in the house 24/7. I also contacted the social worker on Friday, and am going to start the long term care facility process (which can take four years). So, people on this website are teaching me to (1) take care of myself; (2) enjoy my loved one while I can; and (3) when it is time to turn my loved one's care over to an institution it will be in the interest of both of us. Thank you all so much! My little prayers I send up constantly give me strength most of the time; but sometimes I'm just a mess, need to have a good cry, and then start over again the next day.
My significant other was diagnosed in 2006 with AD. He has progressed from still working and flying to Southern California weekly, to no longer flying (alone) and then to no longer going into the office at all. He is a very succesful business person and owned part of the company (and was able to continue to go into the office without really performing the full function of his job). He retired in June and doesn't miss working at all. This from a man that was an amazing work-a-holic. I am still working and own part of my company so I am trying to navigate caregiving and working. We are so lucky because we have the financial resources to hire help. We started employing someone full time this year.
While the duties of caregiving have been reduced, the caring has not. I still worry about whether I am doing enough to keep "Joe" stimulated and active. We were both business people that loved working so we didn't sit around thinking about retirement or "what we really wanted to do". I don't feel angry or cheated in any way -- what I feel is lonely and having been a single person for many years, I know what it is like to no longer be part of the "couples" world. I have some activities that I really love (backpacking and golfing). I always did those two things by myself (with other friends) anyway. I still enjoy Joe's company and he still makes me laugh. I try to live each day one day at a time (that concept is not just a cliche).
My sister Sheila and I took care of 3 Alzheimer's patients: My uncle (Fr. Jim), my dad (Ray); & my mom (Ag). We were the caregivers from 2000-2009. We look back and miss them all terribly and think " How did we do it all and come out of it somewhat sane?" When we lost them we lost ourselves and our identities. My sister and I were so busy trying to please them and accommodate them all; we had forgotten about what we enjoyed in life. So when we lost each one of them between 2007- 2009, One each year. It was a real Journey. But when we lost all of them it was a major loss and major identity crisis, we just looked at each other and said "Now what do we do with our lives?" We first realized we lost 10 years of sleep since 2 of them were wanderers at Night. Then the emotional pain of their loss was next and to this day we are are OK and finally enjoying life and finding ways to enjoy the simple things in life once again. What helps us too is to take pictures of them with us even on trips as if they are still with us because after 9 years being so close you can imagine the loss. However , I wish we would have had this advice from Angela's Corner back then. Most importantly regardless you do need to take time for yourself and Imagine what life will be like for you when you lose them.Search for what makes you Happy and go from there.
Dear Angela,
Is it in the realm of possibility to revamp this wonderful blog site in such a way that participants can respond, if they so choose, to individual comments. Often questions are asked, but if anyone answered, it is hard to find those answers. Thx.
My husband is in th 6 yr. of azhiemers, and has dificulty walking. HE IS 92 AND I am 89. I do not have many friends because most are gone. I would like to be able to go out more but it is hard to help him walk and help my self too, so I just don't go out. If we go to the senors club he falls asleep all the times. He is so gentle loving that I hate to leave him home and hurt his feelings. Any suggestions?
I truly believe that many of these folks need to contact the Alzheimer's Reading Room on-line. They all will find more support to help them work through many of the things they are experiencing. The Alzheimer's Association should learn from this sight that is helping so many of us that are trying to live in the front row with this disease! Many thanks to Mayo for giving us some chance to speak out!
What a wonderful upbeat story! Thanks for sharing. I also have started a blog about my Mom and I. My Mom has FTD. It has been very rewarding to put my feelings and thoughts in writing. Please take a look and tell me what you think. The address is: http://dementiacaregiversunite.blogspot.com
My story is the reverse. My husband with MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) reached the point he couldn't drive and thus couldn't transport his kayak. I found a neighbor who encouraged us to leave the kayak on her property next to the bay. BUt my husband ( age 70) became disoriented with the new launch place and a police helicopter had to look for him. We sold the one person kayak and borrowed the 2 person kayak from this same friend. Now we go together and stay close to shore and it's a pleasurable activity.
Each day that I can I pray to Jesus for strength, help, patience, compassion and whatever else He thinks that I will need, do I fail yes but Jesus is very forgiving. Tuesday Bob was outside in the hot temperatures and high humidity, Tuesday night he was very restless and was up every two hours to go to the bathroom so I got very little sleep as I had to tell him to turn the lights off and leave the fan on low. Wednesday he ate very little and slept the day through and went to bed early and slept until around 7 this morning. I don't know if something was wrong as when I asked he said he was fine. He dries the dishes, helps me outside and loves to go to the store. He is not left behind as whoever takes us to the store stays with him and the manager has told all he is to have one Chocolate Chip cookie. He loves to go to Church so I have learned to tie his tie, does it look as good as what a man would do, no, but who cares. I have learned to do many things in the plumbing line and cut the end of a hose off and replaced it. I am 77 so feel I can learn what I need to. Praise God I have always tended to finances, except we always talked about purchases together, I miss that but how wonderful to hear him tell me he loves me many times a day or that I look nice when I know I don't at that moment. Treasure the time and let the spouse help as much as possible. Yes, I do love him as we have been together 58yrs.
My Mom recently had to start wearing Depends. I thought she would refuse; however, after three accidents in one day, she accepted the new underwear and is fine with it. I miss my Mom. It is hard to watch her condition degenerate. I wish my son would try to understand that she has no control over this. This was a wonderful blog. I loved the symbolism.
My beloved husband is now on 20 mgs. Aricept. We went to WalMart for groceries today. He was scared of using an elecric cart. I explained to him that most people get out of the way so as not to get mauled by a cart with a person riding it. After all, it's bigger than they are. I gave him a list of meats to buy. HE FILLED THEM ALL! SO MUCH BETTER THAN LEAVING HIM WITH A "SITTER". IT GAVE HIM CONFIDENCE IN SOMETHING HE COULD DO AND HE FELT SO GOOD ABOUT HIMSELF. HE HAD HIS "GROCERY LIST" AND FILLED IT ALL! DON'T MAKE THEM SIT AT HOME AND FEEL WORTHLESS! LIKE ANY OTHER DISEASE OR ACCIDENT, RESTORE YOUR BELIEF (AND THEIR'S) THAT THEY CAN STILL DO THINGS AND FEEL IMPORTANT AND LOVED.
Beautifully written; all so true and encourageing. Thank you. Be brave sisters and brothers - we are all in this together and Our Lord will always help us if we ask Him!
I would like to respond to Kathryn, as I am in the same situation. My sister (54) was living with my husband and two teenage daughters for the past 2 years. We finally reached the stage where I felt I could no longer care for her. I have a demanding job, and took on all responsibilities for my sister after work because I feel she is my sister therefore my responsibility. It was a very stressful time for my family and my husband, children and I have to admit even I were getting to the stage where we resented my sister for the loss of time that I had to give my family. We recently found an Altheimer's facility for her and she seems happy. She is by far the youngest resident. I feel guilty when I visit because she does want to come home with me, but she does seem to enjoy the many activities offered. Kathryn, like Rose, you must think of your own wellbeing. I have such a sense of relief and can get back to being a sister, not a caretaker. Good luck with this difficult situation.
I am so confused. I had to take my husband to a adult care center last week after 1 year of agressive progression dementia. I had had about one hour sleep a day for about 3 weeks and he was starting to wonder outside every minute I would turn my head and expose himself while wondering. Yesterday I went to see him after I stayed away for 5 days to get rest and my head straight myself. He was sitting in a chair calm, talked to me, carried on a bit of a conversation. Although he did not remember his daughter taking him out to lunch the prior morning and could not remember so much, he seemed to be like he was a year ago at the beginning of all this. I took him for a ride to eat at our favorite resturant, he seemed at a point that I was wondering if I could really take him home again. He was asking when I was going to take him home, he said he was all over the wondering and exposing himself. What guilt I have even to put him him the place. HE is on a new med. My friends say they are afraid that I will bring him back home, he will start things all over, as he, I know, is only going to get worse with this, never better. He is the youngest there only 69. I am not sure what to do,, If he was like he was when I first had to put him in the facility I would not be so puzzled what to do. Put when he has his GOOD days, and begging to go home, I am so torn. He is not the man at all I knew. But I love him, and I promised that I would always take care of him.
I read Kathryn's post and i remember when i was there emotionally about a years ago on my caregiving journey with my mom... i too asked, "Is this what my life is going to be?" Failed marriage because of the situation, kids off at college, caring for mom 100% of the time, loss of my income and my freedom...Then i started a gratitude journal and wrote 5 things each day that i was grateful for... suddenly i changed... i started to smile more, and say.. This is my Life! i still cry often because of the daily reminder of the mom i am losing... but with Love and Gratitude, i have changed... i am now becomming a stronger person. I remind myself of how my mother was while i was growing up! i know that if she remembered who i was she would be proud of me. We cant change the disease, but how we take care of ourselves and give ourselves permission to feel and change in what we are going through really helps! Hugs to all of you and especially you, Kathryn! You all help me to not feel alone, and this site is on my gratitude list!
Her story is how I feel. I feel robbed, cheated, etc. My hsb will be going to a memory care facility soon. My life with him is over and I'm very angry about it. I take med's for depression but it doesn't rid the anger. I am only 65 and I our lives, as we planned, will never be. He is still here but I miss him terribly. I miss his companionship and everything that goes with it. I love him so much and watching him slowly leave is overwhelming and heartbreaking. Nothing seems to help me feel any better.
I am happy that Rose can continue on with her life at this point. I am a 75year young female who was widowed to the absolut love of my life. I NEVER thought of remarrying again. However,ten years later I met this widow at church who was from Canada. SOMEHOW I began to feel that God had put him in my life for a very special reason. What I couldn't fathom. I only knew him for two weeks before he had to go back to Canada because of immigration rules. We stayed in contact via phone and in five months he was allowed to come back to the states. We were married the next day.Little did I know about him.( big mistake) He had no insurance that was good here and no insurence would take him because he was turning 65 three months later. I ended up retiring early from my teaching so I could get him on my Social security and medicare. I had to take a penility of 10% because he couldnt sign up himself. Two monthes after that ,he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has battled that as well as severe heart problems.Now he was diagnosed with Alzeimers! We have been married ten years and I have reall been his care giver for alll that time.If he gets to the point that he needs care in a home,he will have to go back to Canada because he would have the care he needed under their insurance.We would ,however,have to divorce for that to happen. His doctors all have told me that I an between a rock and a hard place. I keep wondering what God is trying to teach me through all this!!!
In reading comments, it is interesting to realize that we all experience things differently. For Rose to maintain her kayaking skills and physical strength is admirable, and I can only think that Charlie loves her and wants her to reach her potential. And yet I can see how others desire the "togetherness" as much and as long as possible. Because my Mom is afflicted, I enjoy spending tons of time together and I sometimes panic because I know her time on earth is limited. However, I find I need some time away or I sink into a deep hole emotionally. To stay "upbeat" with her, I need desparately to get aerobic exercise.
I need help. I read this newsletter regularly and see others going through the same thing as me, but, with one difference. I have been the caregiver for my 53 year old brother for the last three years. I work full-time. I am losing my relationship with the man I love. I am losing precious time with friends, my daughter and my new grandson. I am losing myself. There is no support system or care facilities where I live for Alzheimer's patients who are not seniors. Family say they will help, but I am the only one my brother is comfortable with. I have made my home as safe as possible for my brother, and he has a personal support worker tend to his needs Mon - Fri. for a few hours each day, but when I get home there is a new list to make of things for me to do ... it doesn't stop. The next day I get a couple things off the list, but then there is always more than a couple things added. Is this my life?
I am happy for Rose also, however, if you factor in another full time disease such as a brittle, insulin dependent diabetic, which my husband (of 54 yrs) has...I find that I also feel 'locked' into both of these diseases and I am needed 24/7 for as far into the future as I can see. My grown children help but have their own careers and family and I refuse to transfer my responsibility to them. I would get no pleasure from that. One or two hours at most..maybe once a month. I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
My mother has become my father's caregiver and has taken over the finances in our parents very complicated life. She was always a woman of the sixties who paid absolutely no attention to bills, stocks or the rest of their savings. I am so proud of her for taking over the bill paying (on-line!) and even dealing with the rest of the financial decisions. While it has been a slow and arduous process, she has grown stronger and more intelligent in taking it on. We offered to do it, yet she declined. Now I just hope they will move to a more manageable living arrangement and "live" to their fullest capacity.
These stories are more helpful to me than you'll ever know. I can identify with the writers and it makes me feel "normal." Just knowing that others are experiencing the same things that I have experienced with my parents over the past 10 years. The guilt can be debilitating.
Bless you
I feel that I must learn to do as Rose has, although it is incredibly difficult, because otherwise this disease is going to rob me of the rest of my life too, and that is not acceptable to me, nor is it what my partner would want, if he were able to see things clearly.
I also feel that most of this stuff aimed at caregivers is essentially saying, even if it doesn't mean to, "Your life is over too - sacrifice everything -- career, friends, etc -- to your spouse's illness." That would be fine in an finite situation, say a year or two, but is not what i want to do for all the remaining decade(s)of my time on earth.
I want to reinvent my life so that i can continue to have my own work (which is a vocation, not a job) and still be with my partner as long as possible, becuase there is a richness in this caregiving that i also am learning from. However, it does require some very tricky paddling to get the balance right! I think I am starting to see how to do it though......
I have to agree with Alan, as I read this blog I to was happy for Rose but felt her experiences are the exception to the reality of Spouse caregiving.
I have mixed reactions to what 'Rose' chose to do. Making time for oneself to continue to enjoy life while still being a caregiver for one's spouse is very important. 'Rose' should be congratulated for taking the initiative to make a change from a 2 person canoe to a one person kayak so she can continue to enjoy doing an activity by herself that she once enjoyed doing with her husband. As a spouse caregiver, I get that. But as I see activities my wife and I once enjoyed doing together slowly but surely slipping away, right now I prefer to find other activities that we can still enjoy doing together. There will be plenty of time for me to do things by myself as her condition worsens. I guess I'm just not ready for that one person kayak yet. I'd rather put a life preserver on her, or keep looking for ways to get her to feel safe in our two person canoe so we could both get in that canoe together for as long as humanly possible! Every widow or widower must do as 'Rose' has done, switching from a two person canoe to a one person kayak. Sadly, with Alzheimer's, the caregiver spouse often becomes a widow or widower well before actual death. So whereas I feel good for 'Rose' ... that she has found a way to continue an activity she enjoys ... I won't be ready to do that for as long as I can still find activities that my wife and I can enjoy doing together. As her Alzheimer's progresses and that is no longer possible, only then will I be looking for that kayak.

Rochester School Board deliberates dropping 'failing' grades
Saturday, December 22, 2012
ROCHESTER — The Rochester School Board's Instruction Committee met this week to discuss the future of competency-based grading in the district and deliberated whether a "failing" grade should be eliminated from schools altogether.
The sticking point for school officials during Thursday night's meeting lay in what happens beyond IWS — should a student receive a failing grade if they just can't get it?
School Board Chairman Robert Watson requested Spaulding High Principal Rob Seaward provide the board with more data as to how the competency grading has been going at Spaulding — the Lilac City elementary schools and Rochester Middle School plan to take on the competency grading system in the near future, too, and Watson said it would be valuable for the board to learn if, for example, the school is handing out more As, or grades for advanced competency, than Fs.
Moriarty said she would present the board with more data in the future to consider the competency system. Doris Gates added she felt the board should wait longer to analyze how the competency system is playing out at the high school level before applying it to the primary level schools.

READ MORE- Top 10 Guinness facts
SEE PHOTOS - The Great History of Guinness
The old advertising slogan 'Guinness is good for you' is actually true it seems.
While Diageo, the manufacturer, makes no health claims for the product, scientific research shows a pint of Guinness a day is actually good for your health.
Indeed it may work as well as a low dose of aspirin to prevent heart attacks.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin made the discovery recently.
The Wisconsin scientists gave Guinness to dogs who had narrowed arteries. They found the Guinness worked as well as aspirin in preventing clots forming.
The researchers told a convention of the American Heart Association in Orlando, Florida, that a pint of Guinness taken at meal time had the best impact.
They believe that antioxidant compounds in the Guinness are responsible for the health benefits because they decrease harmful cholesterol gathering on the artery walls.
