City departments look at short-term goals
Last week, Detroit Lakes department heads met to discuss long-and short-term goals of each department.
A number of departments were covered in Sunday's Tribune. Now it's time for the rest of the story.
Housing Authority
Housing Authority Director Gordy Grabow said his department plans to partner with either Emmanuel Community or St. Mary's Regional Health Center to build some assisted living housing. If he can get 10 residents in a building, the nursing homes will provide a 24-hour care nurse.
Because of budgets cuts, like most departments, Grabow said the housing authority has to scale back on assistance to residents.
However, the department does plan to some renovations in the community areas of the elderly-housing apartments in the city.
Community Education
Community Education is going online.
With money well spent, the Detroit Lakes community ed program is keeping up with the times and putting scheduling and the catalog for programs online.
Community Ed Director Mark Greenig reported the baseball program, funded by the VFW, is going strong with 406 players last summer.
The struggle with summer programs includes finding lifeguards. At the rate of $15 an hour, Greenig said he could only find one person to lifeguard last year.
With a reconstruct in the budget last year, the city and community ed were able to fund a 10th week of summer programs, as they have until last year, when it was cut to nine weeks because of city budget constraints.
"When you approved that, you headed off a headache you didn't know was coming," Greenig said of bringing back the 10th week.
For long-term goals, Greenig said community ed is looking to resurface the tennis courts, which will cost roughly $20,000, and install more playground equipment around the city.
Public Utilities
Some internal offices expressed their concern over not getting Lakesnet Internet repairs in a timely fashion.
Public Utilities Superintendent Curt Punt said either a third person needs to be hired for the department, or the work will need to be "farmed out" to another provider who can service the Internet problems.
Punt isn't sure there's enough work to keep a third person busy.
Police Chief Kel Keena said that may be so, but every time there is a computer problem, there is someone on his end twiddling his or her thumbs because the technology doesn't work.
Punt agreed to look into the cost of hiring another person versus finding another company to make repairs for the city.
Punt said electricity wise, the department will just try to keep up this year with all the new developments in town, Highway 10 project and the new Menards.
Water and wastewater rates are increasing.
City growth is becoming a significant problem. With having to get city water and sewer to new developments, the initial cost is growing too high for the city.
It's been 13 years since the last water and sewer rate increase, and everyone agrees it's time for another.
"It's just snowballed over the last couple years," City Financer Lou Guzek said of developments around the city.
Development along Long Lake was the largest growth spurt to set the city back.
Alderman Bruce Imholte suggested the city do gradual rate increases rather than a large percentage right away, to curb the shock value.
The city council voted on the decision last night and raised rates.
Finance Committee
Piggybacking on the discussion of bringing water and sewer to new developments, special assessments to developers was discussed.
There are 345 available lots in the Detroit Lakes area with city infrastructure. This year, there will be at least 60 more with Clear Creek and Dick Pettit making more available. That's a total of 400 lots. With roughly 50 homes being built last year, the city is set for eight years with new lots available for building.
The city has $3.6 million in deferred assets in the ground to these lots. That's a number some of the city heads aren't exactly comfortable with.
Last year, the city passed a new policy saying developers have to pay 10 percent down on assessments, and the remaining cost is deferred for three, seven and 10 years. Now the city is questioning if they should require 25 percent of cost down, with the deferred amount to be paid sooner.
City Administrator Rich Grabow suggested requiring nothing down, but assessing developers right away for the infrastructure. Mayor Larry Buboltz said he didn't agree that nothing should be put down, but liked the idea of assessing property or developers the first year.
Fee structures, like for the city pavilion, for example, need to be set and followed.
Non-profit groups have asked the city to waive fees on rental spaces throughout the city. Some are waived, some aren't.
City Attorney Bill Briggs said when the city waives a fee or even reduces the fee for a non-profit organization, it's as if the city is giving a donation to the organization.
Alderman James Hannon asked the mayor to appoint a council member to the Holmes Center, Inc. board, since the city supports it financially.
"I believe it's in the city's best interest to be more involved," he said.
The city's municipal golf course isn't a moneymaker for the city, but is holding it's own at the moment.
Imholte suggested since the Executive Course doesn't make any money, the city should sell nine holes to develop the land into residential. He said the same mentality should be used when discussing the second golf course as having a second liquor store. Some are thinking a second liquor store wouldn't be worth the money and only take away business from the original.
"It (the golf course) doesn't cost the city anything," Grabow said. "That's always been the goal. At one time, we were the monopoly in town."
Now, everyone agrees, that's no longer true.
The Pine to Palm course has 800 members, and Grabow said, "We've been tapping those people to pick up the slack."
There is a long-range plan to lengthen the course, "but it's going to be expensive," he said.
Airport Commission
Commission chair Duane Wething said the biggest short-term goal of the airport commission is to get through the Environmental Assessment/ Environmental Impact Statement for the runway expansion.
If the expansion plan does go forward, he said a parallel taxiway will need to be built as well.
"We need to do something so we can keep the airport open during construction," he said.
Long-term, the airport will need more hangar space, and improvements to the arrival/departure area.
The airport commission has asked the county and city to sign a statement saying the two joint entities support the expansion project. The county and city approved the motion.
Grabow said the federal and state government -- which funds 95 percent of the project -- need the signed letters of support to accept the EA/EIS.
Hannon said he still feels he doesn't have enough information to support the expansion. He also brought up troubles with the new airport manager, Darrell Lowe.
Wething admitted the airport is in a transition period with the new manager. Lowe has owned private airports previously, so he hasn't had to serve as public relations to the city and county in the past.
"He's struggling with that," Wething said.
Fuel sales at the airport are down, but Wething said it's because this winter hasn't been good for flying. Plus managers are responsible for purchasing and selling their own fuel, so he said there is no way to track how this year compares to past years.
He assured the group that air traffic is increasing each year.
"We're volunteer," he said of the airport commission. "We're struggling through some hard things."
He said the commission needs support, not to be criticized.
"Take a leap of faith," he said, encouraging the council to vote in support of the letter.
Community Development
Community Development Director Larry Remmen said the plan to help businesses relocated by the Highway 10 project is on the top of his list for the upcoming years.
Annexation and industrial development are also top priorities.
With the Highway 10 project, the city is planning on going whistle free.
"We're starting the process now, so by 2009, it will be in place," Remmen said.
Minnesota Department of Transportation is planning to build the new railroad crossing to accommodate the whistle-free crossings.
The group also discussed asking for a half percent sales tax for community and economic development.
Alderman Ron Zeman said he feels there are too many taxes right now, and the city should think about doing this in several years, rather than in the next one or two.
Since Detroit Lakes is a regional shopping hub, "people other than those living here help pay," Remmen pointed out.

"Comparing dialysis treatment"
About: Crosshouse Hospital / Urology Crosshouse Hospital Urology KA2 0BE Monklands District General Hospital / Urology Monklands District General Hospital Urology ML6 0JS
Posted by Bit519 (as ),
I regularly go to Monklands hospital for dialysis treatment, I also occasionally go to Crosshouse.
At Monklands the treatment I have received and the nurses are all splendid. However there are a few things at Monklands I'd like to raise when I compare this with Crosshouse.
In ward 2 at Monklands there are no auxiliary nurses to undertake some of the support work, nurses have to clear out empty boxes and other bits and pieces. This means that if I need to speak to a nurse they are all tied up and very busy.
At Crosshouse auxiliary staff come and see me as soon as I'm hooked up to the dialysis machine and ask if I'd like a cup of tea and a piece of toast. They will also come again later to see if I'd like a cup of soup – these little touches keep you going during the 4-5 hour treatment. When I've asked about this at Monklands I was told they are concerned about salt levels – all I can say is that at Monklands the prospect of a dry sandwich and a coffee at the end of the dialysis means that patients bring their own refreshments in.
In Monklands they give you a recliner chair during the treatment – 90% are broken and have to be 'reclined' manually by the nurses. If, during treatment, you want to alter the chair position nurses again have to do this manually. I'm 15 stone so a nurse would be at risk trying to manually alter the position with me in the chair! Again, When I've asked about this I was told the chairs are maintained under a contract with a company in the south. All I can say is that I've never seen any maintenance work being undertaken. I'm told risk assessments have been carried out – one chair has a jagged broken armrest another has no armrests at all.
The dialysis machines are very sensitive so the smallest problem can prevent the treatment either starting or completing. For example I went for treatment on Tuesday but after several attempts on different machines they did a blood test and sent me home. I then had to go back two days later to have the dialysis. At Crosshouse they use 'Gambon' machines which seem to be less sensitive – could these be used at Monklands? Before I left on Tuesday, without any treatment, I asked what would happen on Thursday when I returned. They said I'd be put on a different ward and hooked up to a dialysis machine next to a bed.
Finally, having looked on the internet I understand a doctor should be present when patients are having this treatment. The doctor at Monklands is excellent but so very busy it is difficult to talk to him. All the notes in my file have been explained to me and I am free to see them at any time but this in no way compensates for being able to speak to someone and to share your concerns.
Response from Eunice Goodwin, Patient Feedback Manager for NHS Ayrshire and Arran, Quality Improvement and Governance Team, NHS Ayrshire and Arran 3 years ago
Dear Bit519,
Thank you taking the time to tell us about your experiences and that you are happy with the dialysis service at Crosshouse Hospital. I will be very pleased to pass this to the dialysis team. I am sure they will also be delighted that it suits your needs. I hope all goes well with your future treatments.
Kind regards,

Response from Rhona Roberton, Director of Hospital Services, Monklands Hospital, NHS Lanarkshire 3 years ago
Dear Bit519,
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments regarding your recent experience at the renal unit at Monklands Hospital. The unit has a different nursing model to that of Crosshouse and I am assured that staff are visible and available to speak to patients at all times. Food and refreshments are reviewed on a regular basis with patient and dietetic input. We would welcome your input into this group and I would ask you to approach the senior charge nurse if you wish to be involved.
I can reassure you that the chairs are not broken but are a little older than the ones at Crosshouse. A few of our chairs need to be reclined manually but there is no risk of injury to staff and patients in the unit. If patients are unhappy with the overall comfort of the chair, the staff offer to complete the dialysis session using a bed.
The make of machines at Monklands are Braun machines and overall it has been our experience that when the machine alarms this is usually due to problems with patients vascular access and not the sensitivity of the machine. However as you have pointed this out, we will monitor on a regular basis.
I share your views about having access to medical staff and would be grateful if you would speak to the nurse in charge the next time you are in the unit so that any medical concerns can be addressed.
Thank you for your kind words about the nursing and medical staff. I will ensure that the unit is made aware of this.

SolarLeaf, the world's first bioreactive façade presented at the BIQ House, has been shortlisted for the Zumtobel Group Award 2014 in the "Applied Innovations" category.
The demonstrator, specially designed for last year's International Building Exhibition (IBA) in Hamburg, is a four-story residential building comprising 200m2 of integrated photo-bioreactors which absorb CO2 emissions while cultivating microalgae to generate biomass and heat as renewable energy resources. The environment for photosynthesis is provided by glass photobioreactors installed on the southwest and southeast elevations.
This passive-energy house also integrates additional functionalities such as dynamic shading, thermal insulation and noise abatement, highlighting the full potential of this technology.
Now that the technical feasibility of the system has been proven by the BIQ House the consortium is working on concepts for integrating the system on a larger scale to demonstrate the commercial benefits.
The SolarLeaf was designed by Arup in collaboration with SSC Strategic Science Consult and Colt International and co-funded by ZukunftBau.
"The project became a milestone to create a new value chain and plays an important role in establishing surplus energy and zero carbon building clusters for the future."
-Jan Wurm, Arup's Europe Research Leader
"With the bioreactor-facade and the integration of technical and biological cycles a new era of building construction has been marked. Colt is proud to have realized the first pilot project in collaboration with Arup and SSC and feel honoured that SolarLeaf is shortlisted for the prestigious Zumtobel Award."
"With the bioreactor-façade and the integration of technical and biological cycles a new era of building construction has been marked. Colt feels honoured that SolarLeaf is shortlisted for the prestigious Zumtobel Award."
-Lukas Verlage, Director at Colt
The Zumtobel Group Award – Innovations for Sustainability and Humanity in the Built Environment – honours outstanding, sustainable solutions in architecture and engineering that make a notable contribution to the quality of life for the future.
For the 2014 award the "Applied Innovations" category has been added to sharpen the focus on urban developments and applied innovations in the built environment. The BIQ House project competes with another four projects, and the announcement of the laureates will be held on 22nd September at The Serpentine Galleries in London.

Arturo Toscanini's articles: Sotheby's London aims to realise in excess of £1million
KOLKATA: On November 28, Sotheby's London raises the baton on the collection of the late conductor Arturo Toscanini - Italian maestro and virtuoso performer, who is amongst the legendary conductors of the 20th century.
Comprising 88 lots, and entitled Important Manuscripts, Letters and Memorabilia from the Family of Arturo Toscanini, the single-owner sale is estimated to realise in excess of £1million.
It will feature such important pieces as a Giuseppe Verdi Autograph Manuscript, Containing Three Early Drafts for the Opening of 'Falstaff '(estimated at £80,000-100,000); his Autograph Manuscript of the 'Ave Maria' for Chorus, from the Quattro Pezzi Sacri (estimated at £80,000-100,000) and a Felix Mendelssohn Autograph Manuscript Full Score of the Overture 'Die Schone Melusine', opus 32 (estimated at £400,000-600,000).
Stephen Roe, Sotheby's worldwide head of department, books and manuscripts, commented in an email statement: ""The Toscanini collection through which we can reconstruct the trajectory of his career is of overwhelming significance. Its items were acquired by Toscanini either directly from the composers, their families and his friends. Thus it is the case that many of the finest items have never been offered for sale on the market."

Speech Writing
"Good enough" won't cut it when it comes to speeches. BissettMatheson can help you capture your "voice" in a memorable and effective way so that your audience leaves with clear messages and good things to say about your presentation.
Four score and seven years ago...
Ask not what your country can do for you...
We will fight them on the beeches...
I have a dream...
A good speech has power. It can inspire. It connects you with your audience on an emotional level. It can change how people think. It can move listeners to action.
You may not have to move a nation with your next speech, but you'll want to move somebody to do something, even if it is just to think.
If you want, or need to knock your next speech out of the park, the communications experts at BissettMatheson can help.
Experienced speech writers
We have been writing speeches since the early 90's and have written keynote addresses for Premiers, Lieutenant-Governors, numerous government ministers, university presidents, CEOs of international companies, and even a Governor-General.
Our approach to researching and writing a speech is strategic, and it works:
- We get a feel for the person we are writing for; we find his or her voice. This means making his or her personality come through by writing in a style that matches it.
- We research the audience so we know how to frame messages that will resonate with your particular group.
- If media will be attending the speech, we plant sound bites' crisply worded, specific messages that help ensure the media coverage will be what you want it to be.

THE reviews, many of them glowing, are trickling in, and the singer and songwriter Nicole Atkins appreciates the kind words.
But if Ms. Atkins, a 28-year-old Jersey Shore native and leader of Nicole Atkins and the Sea, could request one thing of the music journalists, MySpacers and random bloggers who are weighing in on "Neptune City," her Columbia Records debut, it would be this: Show some sensitivity. Her grandmother is reading.
One review on the back of the advance copies of the CD sent to critics before its July 24 release referred to "an air of danger, violence and death" in the music.
"That really annoyed me," Ms. Atkins said. She acknowledged that "there's a definite air of tragedy on the record," but she insisted "there's no air of violence."
"When my grandmother read that, she was like, 'What are they going to think? They're going to think we're terrible, that Neptune City is an awful place.' Well, it's not. It's one of those sad suburban towns that's still a great place to grow up."Continue reading the main story
Ms. Atkins, who still lives with her parents in Neptune, says that a half-dozen years ago, she was embarrassed by her New Jersey roots and routinely told acquaintances she was from North Carolina. "I never used to want to admit where I was from," she said over coffee in Manhattan before a recent gig in Brooklyn. "And really it was Charlotte, where I went to college, where I learned how to be a real musician. The people I met there taught me how to write songs."
Neptune, though, is where she first picked up a guitar — a dusty one, stashed in the attic, that had belonged to her mother's brother, who died at age 13 in a go-cart accident. As "Neptune City" makes plain, she now has a sense of pride about her origins.
"Trees, children, twilight, fog and fields," she said, reeling off a list of favorite things found on her MySpace page. "I grew up with all that in Monmouth County, sometimes in a spooky way. And they all influence my songwriting." Her music is a bruised, introspective indie rock that is as likely to lure folk fans as psychedelia and girl-pop enthusiasts.
Farther afield, as influences go, there are Frankie Valli and the Ronettes, artists Ms. Atkins heard on her mother's radio as a child.
"I found something in those old songs," she said, "a way of singing that suited my voice, my body — the way I felt." That explains several "female Roy Orbison" comparisons made by critics, who also noted resemblances to the Shangri-Las.
It also helps explain a scrape she got into in 2003, when her mother was still clipping want ads for her out of The Asbury Park Press, and before she assembled the Sea, her Brooklyn-based band consisting of Daniel Chen (keyboards), Dave Hollinghurst (guitar) and Dan Mintzer (drums).
Playing a Friday-night show at Kelly's, a tavern in Neptune, she received so many requests for cover songs that they were hard to ignore: "It was, you know, 'Have you ever heard of Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen?'
"So I got really nervous, and I got really drunk, and I did Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer.' But I did it tongue-in-cheek," she said. "After that, when I asked the owners, 'What's up for next week?' it was, 'Um, we need somebody who does stuff people know.' "
Which, it turned out, was for the best.
"I'm really proud of this CD," she said. Searching for an image to describe it, she said, "It sounds like a big glamorous actress from the '50s falling down the stairs.
"It sounds isolated and lonely — kind of cathartic."Continue reading the main story

What are some avenues one could pursue in seeking financial assistance for research projects focusing on crime?
- print Print
- list Cite
When seeking financial assistance in the form of grants for research projects focusing on crime or criminal justice, the first website one should consult is the National Institute of Justice (www.nij.gov/funding/). The NIJ is a U.S. Government agency that provides grants for research projects in the area of criminal justice. The website provides useful information on how to go about applying for a grant through the NIJ, and what requirements it imposes with regard to verification that the money is being used in accordance with NIJ policies and consistent with the grant proposal submitted by those seeking financial assistance.
Another U.S. Government website that provides good insights into attaining grants for research on crime is maintained by the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (www.ncjrs.gov/fedgrant.html), which includes links not just to the National Institute of Justice, but to other government agencies that provide research grants, including the Office for Victims of Crime, Bureau of Justice Statistics, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Similarly, the Department of Justice has a website dedicated to providing information on funding opportunities (www.justice.gov/business/), which includes additional options for applying for grants.
Nongovernmental organizations that provide funding opportunities for researchers focusing on crime include the Ford and MacArthur Foundations, both of which have websites dedicated to the processing of applications for grants to fund research on crime. The Ford Foundation website is www.fordfoundation.org/issues/human-rights/reforming-civil-and-criminal-justice-systems/for-grant-seekers, and the MacArthur Foundation website address is www.macfound.org/info-grantseekers/grantmaking-guidelines/juvenile_justice-grant-guideline/. Both the Ford and the MacArthur Foundation are large, stable organizations that have provided grants to numerous organizations over many years.
This represents only a few of the organizations/websites in the United States that provide grants for research into various components of criminal justice.

Thomas Crapper Grave Re-Dedication
Saturday 4th May, 2002, at Beckenham Cemetery
by Simon Kirby, Managing Director, Thomas
Crapper & Company Ltd.
Thomas Crapper died on 27th January, 1910 and was
buried at Elmer's End Cemetery, Beckenham, Kent. In those days the
area was semi-rural; now a busy part of South-East London although
it is still in the county of Kent. The cemetery, in Elmer's End
Road, is today entitled Beckenham Crematorium and Cemetery.
The grave was restored by enthusiasts many years
ago but has since deteriorated. The marble was black with grime
and lichen; some of the lead letters were missing; a small elder
tree was growing through one corner and the other end was subsiding
into the ground.
The firm decided to fully restore the grave last
year. When the project was completed, a re-dedication ceremony seemed
appropriate. The local rector, the Reverend Canon Derek Carpenter,
kindly agreed to officiate and the date, 4th May 2002, was agreed.
Over 30 attended, many by the name of Crapper, including
one (living) Thomas Crapper, a Major in the Royal Signals. The event
was acclaimed as a great success by all participants. Revd. Carpenter
had succeeded in finding a reference to a 'cistern' in the Bible
and duly read the passage to those assembled around the grave. This
was followed by prayers and a brief address from Simon Kirby, owner
of Thomas Crapper's original firm. The sun shone from a clear-blue
sky on the gleaming white marble of the tomb.
After the short service, some went to inspect Mr.
Crapper's last house, complete with blue plaque; some walked around
the cemetery. Other notable Victorian 'residents' include W. G.
Grace, the great cricketer, Frederick Wolseley, who produced the
first British motor-car and Samuel Rowbotham, founder of the Flat
Earth Society. Next the celebrants travelled to the nearby Bromley
Court Hotel for a champagne toast to the immortal memory of Thomas
There were representatives of Messrs. Twyfords,
Royal Doulton and Spode. Telegrams were read aloud from Armitage
Shanks Ltd., Dr. Adam Hart-Davis, Lucinda Lambton and other interested
parties from around the world. These last include owners of bathroom-related
American web-sites and Mr. Ken Grabowski, author of the forthcoming
definitive biography of Mr. Crapper.
Flash-bulbs popped, toasts were proposed and names
and addresses were exchanged - for most of the Crappers had not
met before. Many brought photocopies of their family trees and together
they discovered to what extent they were related.
Simon Kirby then presented a brief history of the
man and the surviving firm, illustrated by slides of old black-and-white
photographs. Following this, the buffet and champagne were consumed
in a lively atmosphere. Stories were elicited and offered in great
number by all present, as they munched into a large cake, baked
and decorated as a Crapper '814' W.C. Cistern!
Some Crappers stayed at the hotel and continued the celebrations
until the early hours.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile day;
also a mark of respect for one of our great Victorian pioneers to
whom we all owe so much.
At some point we will organise another 'flush' of
Crappers and Crapperologists - the centenary of Mr. Crapper's death
is 2010 but we are not sure that we can wait that long!

Paper Chess : Create Your Own Chess Set with a Detachable Board and 2 Full Sets of Punch-Out Pieces Paperback
by Kell Black, John Saunders
Chess is more than just a game. It is the ultimate test of strategy. It is a game so significant that it once inspired the Vikings and more recently claimed centre stage in the Cold War.
Its chequerboard design is iconic, and its evocative pieces have appeared in everything from "Alice in Wonderland" to "Harry Potter".
But at heart it remains an engrossing game of mental agility that continues to be passed down from generation to generation and enjoyed by millions. "Paper Chess" celebrates all these elements, while adding a brilliant move of its own.
While the first half of the book provides all the rules and strategies you need to master the game, as well as some graphically illustrated cultural context, it is the second half that castles the opposition.
It contains step-by-step instructions plus a set of punch-out illustrated templates, everything you need to construct a complete set of elegantly designed chess pieces.
Each piece comes complete with a magnetic sticker for its base, and the back cover of the book converts into a magnetic chess board. It is everything you need to create your own collectible paper chess set and learn how to put it to best use; and the perfect way to introduce the next generation to this magnificent game.

Boyfriend's obsession with being ill/finding problems is getting me down.(44 Posts)
Ever since I've known DP he's been a worrier. When we first started talking he would constantly bring up stuff that was worrying him or illnesses he thought he might have.
The big thing is that he has been suffering pains and convinced himself he had cancer. He went backwards and forwards to doctors until they agreed to a full blood count - that came back clear. Still not happy, he carried on complaining of pains so they sent him for an MRi, that came back clear. Still not convinced, he went back and they sent him for a lumbar puncture. Now he's been worrying about the results of this for weeks now and I asked him what he intended to do if they came back clear - he said he would be happy with that.
Well, they have come back clear and now he's decided he wants another blood test doing. I sympathise with him as his father died recently of cancer and I know what it's like to convince yourself you have a terminal illness but I feel like his obsession is coming inbetween us. It's like he can never just be happy, he always has to find something to worry about.
I tried to reason with him that if all these tests have come back clear, it's a pretty positive sign that he hasn't got anything nasty and so he said he can't understand why he's always so tired if there is nothing wrong with him - this soon turned into a "maybe I need to take it easy and not do as much" which I kinda took as him saying he won't be seeing me as much as he needs to rest. Which would be fine if he was genuinely ill but how many tests is it going to take to convince him that he isn't ill??
The thing is, it happens in all areas of his life. He's reluctant to move our relationship on as he's constantly worried about his kids reaction. The youngest is 15 and they've known about me for months - yet he won't let me meet them.
He wants to come on holiday with me, yet is reluctant as he's worried about what his kids will think if they find out.
He's constantly analyzing his divorce and what it has done to his kids.
He's constantly worrying about his sister who has a disabled child.
I think, deep down he's worried about getting too involved with me incase I hurt him.
Everything is a worry with him. It drains me. Sometimes I wonder if he's just got too much going on for me to cope with?
There is 10 years between us. I'm 30, he's 40. Is it the age gap?
Exactly helpyourself. Good post.
I've had anxiety issues and DH was brilliant, but he's my DH of several years, not a new partner. The relationship boards are full of posters agonising about and martyring themselves to try to help and support short term DPs who are not demonstrating any committment. I would not have expected any recent boyfriend who I wouldn't introduce to family to have put up with my issues at that time. I'd have understood and respected them more for backing off, at least until I had my shit together!
Please, all posters who feel attacked by the ltbers.
If a poster posted about having these feelings, or worried about a long term partner, relation or even acquaintance my advice would be very different.
It's only in the contex of a new relationship, where he's not showing sign of commitment that I think the OP should put her self first.
to anyone feeling 'got at'.
It sounds like he has something called Münchausen syndrome. Often these people 100% believe they are ill, most literature on it says they do it for attention, but actually some people almost do it subconsciously, like when you tell a white lie without even thinking about it , and then they actually start to believe it themselves. It can be hard for them to understand nothing is wrong. Just an avenue to consider.
Merci - my mums friend is going to pay for me to go private, I've ended up in A&E more than once because morphine is the only thing that helps when the pain comes. Its sad because it's not all the time, just when Im unlucky
I would just like to be healthy because I'm hoping to go to uni to train to be a midwife (or maybe a nurse) and I wont be able to if it carries on like this grr
That sounds horrendous, ghostship. Have you tried a different GP, fresh eyes and all that?
Some of these replies are horrible tbh, i have an anxiety disorder, its not my personality, im not a drama queen and im not pathetic. My problems are the product of a shit load of stress, nastiness and worry at a young age that has moved into my adult hood and can be totally debilitating. I have suffered from the age of 17, im now 28. My problems go in circles, ive sufferd health anxiety, social phobia and panic disorder i constantly battle against them and i get better for a while then bang i go downhill massively, at my worst i didnt leave the house for months, didnt open the curtains or answer the telephone. I convinced myself i was going to die that i had cancer, a brain tumour, DVT etc every headache or chest pain would through me into a panic attack, id start hyperventilating making things worse. Ive seen many gp's and finally got great support from one, anti anxiety meds and lots of talking has really helped over the years but i still sometimes start slipping back.
The symptoms we have ARE REAL my gp has confirmed this, people with anxiety disorders put their bodies into a state of worry that creates real pain and intensifies it, its very difficult to know when what your feeling IS something to panic about or not and can be very dangerous in that way. Ive had it confirmed that my levels of cortisol are always increased even when i think im calm.
The one thing that has got my through it all is my DH, he has for 11 years seen me at my worst, reassured me, been patient, done everything for me when i couldnt leave the house, or make a call, attend appointments etc he done it all for me because he loves me despite it and generally we have a fab relationship. My anxiety goes into all areas of my life i function normally enough these days i can go out and go about my life just fine, but inside i still worry and over analyse everything, i need a definity control over my life, what i wear, what i eat where i go i now dislike change.
I wont deny how hard it must be for a partner but dont think the sufferer just needs to man up, or get a grip, or think positive it dosnt work like that. Sounds like your dp isnt as bad as me/i was, yet anyway and i urge him to seek help and for you to just be there to listen.
He does sounds as if he has an anxiety disorder. It's hard enough to support someone through it in a fully committed relationship, but he is keeping you at arm's length. In your situation I would seriously be considering the relationship.
DE not re
walkacrossthesand - I wish it was as simple as that. But the ones I have are rehabilitating. I'm on anti sickness tablets constantly, tired all the time, and (TMI) when I orgasm I flood blood and have the most horrendous pain. But have been told I just need to live with it because there's no reason for it. Ah well..
what, op, attracts you to a worrier?
mercibucket I know what you are saying, there are people who are misdiagnosed, but in this case, it fits better with a generalized anxiety disorder, and that is how he is. A relative of mine has had this for over forty years and it wears you out enormously as they are never reassured by symptoms and even if it dies back, when there is anxiety you go through it again and again, even now he has tests all the time and of course there is nothing there (one day there will be after forty years of course!) I think it can be changed if the person is willing to go into CBT or other types of counselling, but in my relative's case, they reject all psychological explanations and continue the merry go round. I wouldn't choose this life with someone from the outset unless they were willing to go for help or developed it later in the relationship, it is just wearing and this guy sounds like there are so many negatives, you end up being their mother.
All the people I know in rl with 'health anxiety' just had actual illnesses the GPs hadn't diagnosed, so I'd be more likely to be investigating every avenue, checking his test results myself, and googling. That's what my life experience has taught me to do. I would now never believe there was nothing wrong if someone in my life said they felt ill but the GP said all was fine. It could of course be some kind of anxiety, but maybe it is a b12 deficiency, thyroid problem, vitamin d deficiency, ME etc. Are you sure all those have been tested for and ruled out?

RedDeadinBed - how long have you been seeing this man, and, more importantly, WHY are you still seeing him? Serious question, as you say he's been like this since you've known him. What made you persevere, because I know I'd have been very unlikely to have gone on a second date with him?
Was it because there are positives to him? Or because you have some need to 'fix' him? Why?
As has been said, CBT would probably help considerably.
Scherezade nothing in the ops post suggests she owes him anything more than she owes a duty of care to a colleague or neighbour. He has family he's loath to introduce her to and he's backing off- why she should she age 30 and, I think, childless shackle herself to someone who is bringing her nothing but problems.
My personal experience is I think relevant: I've suffered from debilitating anxiety and addiction. In both (related and overlapping) cases my family were incredibly supportive, and I'm incredibly grateful to them. But I didn't turn up on their doorstep with all these problems, which seems to be the case here. If any of my children were in the relationship the op describes, less than a year in, I'd advise them to run.
Has he discussed Fibromyalgia/ME with his docs? I'm no expert but it's possible.
helpyourself I hope you never have the misfortune to experience depression, and I hope no one you know has to experience YOU if they ever suffer it.
Apathy, lack of motivation, catastrophising, believing there IS no hope, withdrawing. All classic symptoms. Depression is a selfish disease. But it is just that, a disease.
Sorry - I see that you mention his recent bereavement, but was the anxiety triggered by this or did it pre date it?
Another vote for Cbt here.. I have had this quite badly. But as a positive story I am now fine and have been so for at least 2 years. So i believe there is hope he could get a hold of his anxiety and your life and relationship together would be improved. . Recognising the circular thinking is key. I would use my Dh for 'reassurance' which the Cbt counsellor told me was perpetuating the cycle of worry. Equally tests/ scans etc will have the same effect- only temporary relief. Difficult situation for you - I would suggest that the reasoning you are doing with him should stop. I know it is not easy to do but try to disengage from reassuring etc. It is counter intuitive but it is feeding the beast of anxiety, and it is very draining for you also. Do you know if he has been like this for some time or has something sparked it off? That might influence your decision on whether you have the energy for the relationship.
The posters who have been 'stood by' can you honestly say that your partners could have written a post like the op?
It's completely one sided. He's giving redead nothing. Why should she stick around and fix someone who's wallowing in his problems and making no attempt to solve them himself.
He sounds depressed and anxious. Tiredness would be a feature in that. He needs to seek psychological help, though for many people (and I speak from experience) things have to reach crisis proportions before they can consider that their illness may be mental instead of physical.
His GP might refer him to CBT and prescribe a course of anti depressants.
I've suffered from GAD and Health Anxiety and DH stuck around. I'm glad he did, and so's he, because I was still there, underneath all the layers of illness. CBT helped scrape them away a bit and while it will never be gone, I know the beast now; I am aware of when I'm getting low again and have some stuff I do to make it doesn't take over again.
Good luck to you both.
"It's his personality. It can't be fixed"
Let's hope one (or more) of the MNetters on the health anxiety support thread don't see that.
There is a whole group of symptoms called 'medically unexplained symptoms' - essentially, once a few tests have been done to rule out likely causes of symptoms,*and the person's condition isn't deteriorating in the way that serious illness tends to do*, then there's little point in carrying on doing tests - nothing will be found, but the symptoms are still there to be lived with. Ghostship, I suspect that's why your docs have stopped looking - not because they are not taking you seriously, but because it's very unlikely a cause will be found. So the approach then is to say 'given that I have these troublesome symptoms, what can I do to live around them' - and funnily enough, if we manage that, the symptoms often become less troublesome. CBT as mentioned above, or help from an experienced psychologist can help. But while you are on a 'quest' for a diagnosis, you will get nowhere.
You're on this planet once and once only. He is sapping your life away.
I'd rather be single than try to cope with that. He needs professional help and you will never fix him.

For everyone who has missed the askanything chat with Conrad, you can now watch the stream on Youtube.
Amongst other things he told, that his EP will be out in the USA in January, what his middle names stand for, what his dream car is and that he would probably still work in the music business if it didn´t work out as a singer.

Boise aims to build white-water park
Mon., Dec. 11, 2006
BOISE – City planners are pushing to turn a stretch of the Boise River near downtown into a white-water rafting park.
"It would be great," said Scott Van Hoff, who manages Idaho's National Flood Insurance Program. "It would be like, 'It's lunch hour; let's go have some fun.' "
If approved, the proposed Boise River Park – which would be developed in conjunction with the Esther Simplot Park project – would still be years away. The city just began its fundraising efforts and must collect about $6.5 million in private donations to pay for Esther Simplot Park and the white-water park.
The two parks would be part of a downtown redevelopment project that's meant to take advantage of underused land along the 30th Street corridor. The next step is to hire a company to perform a land-use study on an area that takes up about 240 acres near downtown.
Turning an industrial river once surrounded by meat packing and concrete plants into a spot for outdoor recreationists will take some modifications, said Boise Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Amy Stahl.
Engineers plan to create several drops in the river to satisfy those who would come downtown looking for thrills, she said. Developers would also add new vegetation and dams to the river, creating a better environment for fish too.
"The river will be modified," Stahl said. "But in fact, it will be improved."
City planners found their inspiration for the project by developing downtown water parks across the country, like the Truckee River Kayak Park, located among the casinos of downtown Reno, Nev., Stahl said. The Truckee park brings in more than $4 million annually.
Esther Simplot Park sits north of the Boise River, between Fairview Avenue and Veterans Parkway. When completed, the 55-acre park – which began in 2003 – will be the largest in the city and will feature fishing ponds, soccer fields and picnic grounds.

Expansion shows company's not sitting on laurels
A Co Londonderry family business which makes specialist healthcare seating is creating more than 60 jobs. Limavady-based company Seating Matters plans to boost employment with 64 jobs in the next year.
It makes therapeutic chairs to help people with comfort, provide postural support and reduce of bed sores. The chairs are sold throughout the world.
The company was set up in 2006 by the Tierney family and over the past nine years it has seen increased demand and headcount.
It currently employs 125 people at its Limavady base, but is set to grow considerably in 2016.
Managing director Martin Tierney said he was "not surprised by the demand" for the chairs, which are sold as far afield as Australia and the US.
"The people of Belfast have the same conditions as the people of Boston or Brisbane," he added.
"The extensive clinical research that we have conducted with Ulster University clearly demonstrates how we can help these patients. We are so pleased to be able to meet the demand and help so many people across the world.
"I'm delighted to reveal that we will be expanding our workforce even further than we have in the past couple of weeks and we will be recruiting people for various roles in the New Year."
The family business exports across the globe, with distribution in the US, Canada, Australia, France, Denmark, Sweden and Netherlands.
The dozens of new jobs will cover a range of areas at the seating company, including telemarketing, research and development, customer care, assembly and upholstery.
The firm has also been working alongside Ulster University to carry out research into how seating can reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, discomfort and pain and improve blood oxygen levels.
The research project was led by the company's clinical director, Martina Tierney, who has practised as an occupational therapist for more than 30 years.
According to the company's joint research, their chairs lead to an 88% reduction in pressure ulcers. Seating Matters said the findings "are having a significant impact on patient care across the world".

In bovenstaande link kan je de eerste 8 pagina's van het boek doorlezen. Het is niet veel leeswerk maar wel interessant dus ik raad iedereen aan dit te doen.
Full recognition of the reality of experience, then, is the obligatory starting point for any remotely realistic version of physicalism. This is because it is the obligatory starting point for any remotely realistic (indeed any non-self-defeating) theory of what there is. It is the obligatory starting point for any theory that can legitimately claim to be 'naturalistic' because experience is itself the fundamental given natural fact; it is a very old point that there is nothing more certain than the existence of experience.
It follows that real physicalism can have nothing to do with physicSalism, the view - the faith - that the nature or essence of all concrete reality can in principle be fully captured in the terms of physics. Real physicalism cannot have anything to do with physicSalism unless it is supposed - obviously falsely - that the terms of physics can fully capture the nature or essence of experience. It is unfortunate that 'physicalism' is today standardly used to mean physicSalism because it obliges me to speak of 'real physicalism' when really I only mean 'physicalism' - realistic physicalism.
Een kritische recensie van het boek kan hier gelezen worden:
Panpsychism, at its simplest, is the belief that everything having a physical aspect also has a mental or conscious aspect. Panpsychism is regarded by many as either plain crazy, or else a direct route back to animism and superstition. The apparent claim that a hunk of rock has a conscious thinking mind is so easy to ridicule: why should anyone take such an idea seriously? Yet David Skrbina (2003; 2005) has convincingly demonstrated that panpsychism has been an underlying theme in Western philosophy over many centuries.
Whatever you think of his metaphysical conclusions, all three of his assumptions are pretty plausible, so its well worth asking whats entailed if one agrees to them. Strawson is prepared to follow the trail to the very end. I, for one, think thats how philosophy ought to be done. You cant make metaphysics out of fudge. If you want an idea of just how hard 'the hard problem' is, and just how strange things can look when you face its hardness without flinching, this is the right book to read.
Kortom, hoe bizar het ook lijkt, als we onze kennis van de realiteit logisch op een rijtje zetten en op basis hiervan een conclusie moeten trekken, komen we bij panpsychisme uit.

Tip 4 – problem solving
People visit websites because they are seeking a solution to something they are searching for – a product, service or information.
Focus on your visitors' problems and needs first and NOT on the features of your business. Many websites focus on their features and often, in a blatant attempt to self-promote, use exaggerated sensational claims and language. Use simple, straightforward, honest language and focus on the benefits your customers will get from your business. Your visitors are not really interested in you, they are only interested in solving their own problem.
"People don't buy for logical reasons. They buy for emotional reasons" – Zig Ziglar.
Business to business sales is no different. Do you think business customers are more practical and won't listen to that kind of rubbish? You are wrong – think again! Everyone makes emotional decisions and then justifies them with logic. What are they really looking for? Majority of people want to save time & money, or they want to make money. How do they want to spend their extra time? With the family; playing golf or going to the beach? What do they want to spend the money on? A new house; investments; back into the business?
Remember the 8-second test we mentioned in Tip 2 Website attraction – what is this website about, what's in it for me, what should I do next. Your visitors don't really care about you, or your products or services. They only want to know if you can solve their problems.
Learn to solve your visitors' problems and you will find that you will start converting more traffic to sales.

Eurocrats quietly axe EU parliament budget debate after 'chronic waste of taxpayers' cash'
EUROCRATS have quietly axed a traditional debate on the size and priorities of the EU parliament's budget following a backlash against chronic waste of taxpayers' cash, Express.co.uk can reveal today.
Eurocrats have dropped plans to debate the EU parliament budget
Senior officials have dropped plans to hold a discussion on 2018 spending commitments in light of a series of controversies over pay and perks afforded to officials.
Brussels has been stung by criticism over its proposals to bankroll a permanent armed guard for the EU parliament president, Antonio Tajani, and to invest in new restaurant and creche facilities.
The plans to boost its budget to an eye watering £1.7bn provoked a strong negative response from the media and voters when they were leaked last month, coming at a time of continuing austerity in many member states.
And now EU sources have told express.co.uk the budget will no longer be debated by MEPs during next month's plenary season in a clear break with precedent set in recent years.
One said: "The suspicion is this is to avoid any discussion of the issues raised recently in the media (president's bodyguards etc) and the fuss made last year over drivers."
The spending plans were put forward by the EU parliament secretary general Klaus Welle, an unelected eurocrat, who said cash should also be spent on promoting awareness of the 2019 EUropean elections.
Mr Ashworth said he was 'surprised' by the decision not to hold a debate
Since then elected MEPs have scrambled to water the proposals down, with the Conservatives' Richard Ashworth tabling a series of common sense amendments to bring spending into perspective.
In particular he questioned the need to carry out major renovations to the EU parliament buildings, which are only 25 years old, and said the amount of £28 million earmarked to promote EU elections was "too high".
Critics have also questioned the need for a permanent, 12-strong armed guard for its president Antonio Tajani - a little known figure outside Brussels - with Mr Ashworth's report highlighting the threat of cyber attacks instead.
It is understood that a number of senior MEPs are unhappy with the decision to axe the budget debate including Frenchman Jean Arthuis, who is the chairman of the budget committee.
The committee is meeting this afternoon and the issue is expected to discuss the call, made by the EU parliament's powerful Conference of Presidents which is made up of the leaders of the political groupings.
Mr Ashworth opened the meeting by saying: "I'm slightly surprised that the conference of presidents has taken the decision that there will not be a debate in plenary on the parliamentary estimates."
Estonian MEP Indrek Tarand compared high-level EU decision making to a "Communist politburo" but praised the report for proposing capping the growth of the EU budget at 0.99 per cent.
He said: "I think any report deserves a debate at the plenary, and that's another sort of thing that gives ammunition to demagogues. If we want to take a report without a debate what kind of a parliament actually are we?"
And Italian MEP Marco Valli, from the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group (EFDD) which also includes Ukip, added: "In our group we think it's crucial that there be a debate. It may be awkward for some but we have to have a debate so that we can have a public discussion about some of the problems arising from the budget."
The damaging revelations come at a difficult time for Brussels, which has been trying to promote more transparency around decision making in an attempt to reconnect with voters who have become disillusioned with the project.
