Little love for Toronto FC on television -- yet
The CBC had better be right about Major League Soccer.
The people's network recently jettisoned the Raptors because it felt ratings weren't quite good enough to justify those weekend time slots. On the other hand, it expressed deep and abiding love for Toronto FC, which would give its left halfback to get the kind of ratings the Raptors drew.
Witness Saturday's poor draw, the latest in a series of poor ratings for the MLS club.Since its inception, the Toronto team has been a major hit at the gate and a semi-disaster on television.
But this isn't a case of the CBC not realizing that ratings aren't calculated like golf. Low numbers are bad, not good, in the TV game.
The CBC's faith in TFC stems from its belief that adding two more teams in Canada over the next two years will ignite interest in MLS. A Toronto team that barely draws flies on television will see ratings soar once it has more Canadian rivals in Vancouver and Montreal is how the CBC sees it.
It could happen. But it also could be a repeat of what we saw when there were two NBA franchises here: Apathy.
Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the CFL continues to dominate the summer ratings, though a near perfect game and a late playoff run by the Toronto Blue Jays helped their numbers soar.
Here are the most-watched sports events on English-language television over the weekend, according to BBM Canada overnight ratings:
1. CFL, Blue Bombers at Tiger-Cats, Saturday, TSN: 858,000
2. CFL, Roughriders at Alouettes, Friday, TSN: 853,000
3. CFL, Stampeders at Lions, Saturday, TSN: 795,000

Greensburg, Pa. – Groundbreaking research into how temperature can influence the growth of tumors in laboratory mice conducted by Seton Hill University alumna Elizabeth A. Repasky, Ph.D., and her colleagues at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute will be published in this week's edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
Repasky's research deals with how the standard cool temperature at which laboratory mice are housed in most research facilities might skew the results of cancer immunology studies.
The study indicates that mice naturally seek warm nesting environments to minimize their energy expenditure and healthy mice are known to prefer ambient temperatures of 30 to 31 °C. Yet laboratory mice are typically housed within a temperature range of 20 to 26 °C, partly to reduce the need for cage cleaning and increase technicians' thermal comfort.
Repasky and her colleagues compared tumor formation, growth rate and metastasis in mice housed at either 22 to 23 °C or at 30 to 31 °C in order to determine whether the temperature discrepancy might influence disease course.
The authors report that four different kinds of transplanted tumors grew slower in mice housed at 30 °C than in mice housed at 22 °C, even though both groups of mice maintained normal body temperature. Anti-tumor immunity was stronger at 30 °C. Because cold stress can divert energy toward heat production and suppress anti-cancer immune responses, ambient temperature might influence the response of laboratory mice to experimental cancer immunotherapy, the study suggests.
Repasky graduated in 1976 with a bachelor's degree in biology from Seton Hill and earned a Ph.D. in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the State University at Buffalo and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Cell/Molecular Biology at the California Institute of Technology. In 1996, Repasky received the Seton Hill Distinguished Alumni Leadership Award.
"Elizabeth was extremely gifted in research and possessed great passion for research," said Sister Ann Infanger, S.C., Professor Emerita of Biology at Seton Hill, who taught Repasky. "Actually she went on a summer program at Roswell Park as a student and decided to spend her senior year there to complete her education. She is truly talented and unselfishly devoted to research."
Infanger said Repasky's study will be important to cancer research across the board.
"She has made a significant discovery that will certainly influence the interpretation of a lot of research," Infanger said.
Currently, Repasky is the Dr. William Huebsch Professor of Immunology at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., and is co-leader of the Institute's Cell Stress and Biophysical Therapies CCSG Program.
Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) is America's first cancer center founded in 1898 by Dr. Roswell Park. His revolutionary model of a "multidisciplinary approach" to cancer — with scientists and clinicians working in concert and in consult — has become the standard by which all modern-day comprehensive cancer centers are measured.
JoAnne Boyle's tenure at Seton Hill University in Greensburg was all about change.
The university's former president helped to transform the small Catholic college for women on the hill above Greensburg into a coeducational university that hosted international luminaries and altered the landscape of the city.
Boyle, 78, of Laughlintown, who served as university president for more than 25 years before her retirement in June, died late Friday in UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh.
Bibiana Boerio, the university's interim president, announced Boyle's death in an email sent to students shortly after noon on Saturday.
"It is with great sadness that I write to inform you of the death of our beloved President Emerita JoAnne Boyle," Boerio wrote.
Michele Ridge, the chairwoman of Seton Hill's board of trustees, praised Boyle's stewardship of the university.
"Because of her leadership, Seton Hill experienced an incredible transformation from a small women's undergraduate college to a coeducational university with an enrollment of more than 2,500 students," Ridge said in a statement.
"She worked diligently to strengthen the university's academic and financial foundations and led Seton Hill forward by focusing campus resources on programs, faculty, key personnel and facilities that positioned the university as an educational leader in the nation," she said.
Boyle was a 1957 Seton Hill graduate who held a Master of Arts degree in teaching from Harvard University and a doctorate in English literature from the University of Pittsburgh. She returned to her alma mater to teach English and later served as a department chair.
In 1987, Boyle became president of the school, which then had an enrollment of 800 students.
In 2002, Boyle opened the university to men. A year later, the college became a university.
Seton Hill's enrollment now stands at 2,500 students. It offers more than 80 undergraduate programs and 10 graduate programs, which were implemented under Boyle.
"Since taking office, Dr. Boyle has made great advancements in allowing men like me to attend Seton Hill University. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to attend the university that I love so much. She will be an inspiration for progress throughout the ages," said senior Charles Kirkland, 22, a business administration/education major from Derry Township.
Boyle helped to bring the school into downtown Greensburg with the construction of a $21 million Performing Arts Center. In July, the school broke ground for a visual arts center in the city.
Under her leadership, the school established the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine on campus, the physician assistant program and the Center for Orthodontics. It equips all students with iPads.
Last month, university officials named the school's health sciences center to be built on campus the JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center. Boyle was in ill health and did not attend the ground breaking ceremony.
In an interview with the Tribune-Review in January, Boyle talked about how much she enjoyed working at her school.
"What I'm going to miss the most is the excitement of every single day when you really don't know what's going to be on the agenda," Boyle said. "It's what comes in over the transom that's surprising, unexpected, but that keeps the job so interesting."
Her leadership expanded Seton Hill's footprint, said former mayor Karl Eisaman.
"She was truly a great person," Eisaman said. "I was very fortunate and the city of Greensburg was very fortunate we shared the same vision of Seton Hill expanding. She was truly a remarkable lady."
In a statement, Bishop Lawrence E. Brant of the Greensburg Diocese expressed sympathy to Boyle's family.
"We assure the Boyle family of our prayers that the Lord give Dr. Boyle the reward of her goodness. Our sympathy and prayerful remembrance likewise go out to the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill and the faculty, administration, alumni and students of the Seton Hill University community," the statement said.
"Under Dr. Boyle's 25 years of leadership as president, this Catholic, liberal arts university has grown in both its scope and service to the community and the region following in the rich tradition of faith and academic excellence established by its founders, the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill," Brandt said.
Boyle was born in White Plains, N.Y., a daughter of the late George Gordon Woodyard and Josephine Tschinkel Woodyard.
Boyle served as board chairwoman of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania and was a trustee of the University of Pittsburgh.
She is survived by her husband, Arthur J. Boyle Jr. and seven children: Arthur J. Boyle III of Greensburg; Brendan Patrick Boyle of Rices Landing; John W. Boyle and wife Sheri of Greensburg; Elizabeth Boyle McDonald and husband Sean of Pittsburgh; Terence Boyle and wife Shari of Finleyville; Teig Boyle and wife Patricia of Hershey; and Morgan Boyle of California, Pa.
She is survived by 14 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, her daughter-in-law Kim Boyle of Greensburg; sister Nancy Chilcoat of Stone Mountain, Ga.; brother George Gordon Woodyard Jr. of Vallejo, Calif.; and several nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held in the parlors on the second floor of the administration building at Seton Hill University from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Monday and from 2 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
A funeral Mass will be held in St. Joseph Chapel at Seton Hill at 11 a.m. on Wednesday with Msgr. David Rubino officiating.
Private interment will follow the service at the Sisters of Charity Cemetery at Seton Hill. Pantalone Funeral Home Inc. is in charge of arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Seton Hill University Reeves Library or to the JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center. Funeral arrangements are being made by Pantalone Funeral Home Inc. in Greensburg.

Anna Bevington Drenning of Monroeville started out with a dream to reach one child, but now, she is reaching youths across the nation.
As the first regional youth volunteer specialist for the local American Red Cross, the Delmont native visits students across 25 counties. She received recognition last month with her acceptance to the Red Cross National Young Professionals Council.
Drenning, 24, has devoted nine years to the Red Cross, eight as a volunteer and one as a staff member.
"My heart's in it," she said.
Drenning works in the Red Cross regional headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh.
Her neat office is decorated with children's hand-drawn posters including messages such as "keep shining" and a chalkboard with the joke: "What do you call a cat that joins the Red Cross? ... A first aid kitty."
In addition to charting a vision for youth engagement and overseeing interns and work-study students, Drenning is beginning her role with the National Young Professionals Council, for which she will raise money and form policies for youth volunteers, among other duties.
The council consists of 11 members, ages 21 to 35, who work to support and engage peer group volunteers.
Drenning is well-versed in that role.
While attending Franklin Regional schools in Murrysville and Seton Hill University in Greensburg, she founded student Red Cross clubs at each. Club members learned CPR training and conducted fundraisers.
Drenning got involved with a Greensburg Red Cross youth group during high school after reading in the newspaper about the need for volunteers.
In college, Drenning served on the board of directors for the Red Cross Westmoreland-Armstrong chapter while continuing to work with the youth group and serving on the Red Cross National Youth Council, which represents youth volunteers.
"I want to help my community become resilient, and I want youth to realize the opportunity in volunteering and giving back," she said. "(It's) being able to be part of a large organization that helps so many people."
She regularly meets with high school and college Red Cross clubs and travels across the region to ensure chapters have needed resources.
"If they're doing something here in Pittsburgh, it can benefit somebody in another city or country," Drenning said. "(It's) knowing that I'm part of something so much bigger."
She teaches students about fire safety and how to be "Red Cross Ready," a three-pronged approach encouraging them to get a kit, make a plan and be informed.
Rex Rossey, the regional volunteer manager for the Red Cross western Pennsylvania division, lauded Drenning's energy, social media know-how and ability to engage volunteers.
"We're very fortunate to have Anna, because she's very passionate about the Red Cross," he said.
For Drenning, who describes herself as a "150 percent Red Cross lifer," every day on the job is different.
"I look at the volunteers who get 50-, 60-year volunteer pins, and I want to be that person," she said.

Seton Hill University's new Health Sciences Center will be named in honor of President Emerita JoAnne Boyle, Chair of the University's Board of Trustees Michele Ridge announced during a groundbreaking ceremony today.The JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center will serve students and faculty in Seton Hill's Division of Natural and Health Sciences."JoAnne Boyle was such a courageous leader for Seton Hill. Her tenure was marked by the addition of programs of national prominence, including the LECOM at Seton Hill pre-med opportunity, the University's highly ranked physician assistant program and most recently, the Center for Orthodontics," Ridge said. "No other building represents better JoAnne Boyle's vision for educating healthcare workers and physicians. We know the naming of this facility for JoAnne will honor her enduring legacy in a powerful way.""This is an exciting day as we proceed with an important strategic building project for the University that is grounded in our mission and the unmet and growing need for healthcare service in the region," said Seton Hill Interim President Bibiana Boerio. "From the beginning excellence in science education has been a Seton Hill hallmark. The health sciences today continue to represent some of Seton Hill's strongest academic programs. The JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center will help Seton Hill University ascend to a new era of distinction.""I can think of no better way to crown a 25 year career as president, decades as an educator and years as a student than to name a building in her honor," President Emerita Boyle's son, John W. Boyle, said during the groundbreaking.President Emerita Boyle retired in June after 25 years as president of Seton Hill University. She led Seton Hill's strategic planning process that has been guided by addressing the region's needs.The critical need for well-educated health care professionals has been at the forefront of thought for more than a decade as Seton Hill built strong partnerships and enhanced its curriculum to meet those needs. New programs of national prominence, including the Physician Assistant program and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) pre-med opportunity at Seton Hill, have helped increase enrollment in the health sciences by more than 100 percent.More than 500 students, and more than 35 percent of the freshman class, are enrolled in Seton Hill's core programs of excellence, particularly in pre-med, physician assistant, biology, chemistry, dietetics and nutrition."This growth is tied to Seton Hill's commitment to teaching real world science," said Sister Susan Yochum, S.C., Professor and Chair of the Division of Natural and Health Sciences. Seton Hill is continually examining ways to provide programs of study that will increase students' marketability in scientific careers. We emphasize hands-on interdisciplinary learning and close faculty-student collaboration. Seton Hill is pleased to be in the forefront of regional efforts to train the healthcare professors and scientific innovators of the future."The significant increase in enrollment in those programs—and the highly qualified students who graduate from those programs and stay and work in this region—is making an impact on the number of healthcare workers serving our communities.To accommodate the interest, growth and needs of the health sciences programs, Seton Hill will construct The JoAnne Boyle Health Sciences Center located on the University's main hilltop campus, adjacent to the current science building, Lynch Hall."The JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center will help ensure that our students are well prepared for graduate study, research and careers in science and healthcare," Ridge said.The Center will include examination rooms, classrooms, laboratories and office space for the University's Physician Assistant program as well as new full technology laboratories and classrooms for undergraduate teaching, learning and research.Seton Hill's pre-med program will benefit from the new facility. The University has 25 reserved pre-med slots each year for Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) at Seton Hill. Students in this program can earn their undergraduate degrees from Seton Hill and their Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from LECOM at Seton Hill in seven years instead of eight.Seton Hill students and faculty find enlightenment through the sciences. Their study will be enhanced by the Health Sciences Center as they examine lung cancer cells in laboratories through a grant from the National Science Foundation; research phages—novel viruses that infect bacteria—by digging them from soil and isolating their DNA to help the Howard Hughes Medical Institute understand the relationships between viruses and their hosts; and work on a national study with the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and others on results of lifestyle choices in young adults of college age.The $21.5 million project includes the renovation of Lynch Hall and the new construction of the 51,592 square-foot JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center. The two buildings will have open connections on the second and third levels.Designed by architects MacLachlan, Cornelius & Filoni, the Center features a curved three-story glass atrium that will provide energy savings for Seton Hill as it uses the sun as a source of heat and natural light. P.J. Dick Corporation will serve as construction manager. The Center will be completed in late 2015.Community leaders have already found the project to be important for the region. Earlier this year, The Richard King Mellon Foundation awarded a $7 million grant to Seton Hill toward the construction costs of the Health Sciences Center. This commitment, the largest ever received in the University's history, along with a $1.5 million gift from The Katherine Mabis McKenna Foundation, a $750,000 gift from an anonymous donor, a $500,000 gift from E. Ronald Salvitti, M.D. and more than $3 million from Trustees, alumni and friends, is among the $17.7 million raised to date for the JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center.More than $47.5 million has been committed to Seton Hill University's $75 million plan for campus expansion and renewal, which features new construction and campus facility improvements. The JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center and the Dance and Visual Arts Center, which will be built in downtown Greensburg, are the most recent projects in the expansion plan. Recent completed projects include: the Performing Arts Center in downtown Greensburg; the historic Welty House; renewed on-campus dining facilities; construction of additional parking lots to accommodate Seton Hill's growing student population; investment in technology initiatives; new turf fields for athletics; renovations to Lynch Science Hall and historic campus buildings. The JoAnne Woodyard Boyle Health Sciences Center also adds to Seton Hill's growing role in the economy of the City of Greensburg, which has led to economic development in the past decade that has been conservatively estimated at $130 million. This investment includes the construction of Seton Hill's Performing Arts Center in downtown Greensburg, the addition of LECOM on the Seton Hill campus, improved student housing in Greensburg and the University's investment in renovating the historic Welty House along with new restaurants, office buildings and other commercial ventures in Greensburg.

Jeanne Cerce has been a volunteer court-appointed special advocate since 2008 and has advocated for 16 children from six families.
When the Unity woman received a letter in the mail last month notifying her that she had been selected by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Lehigh Valley, as one of the Congressional Coalition for Adoption Institute's Angels In Adoption award winners — after a secret nomination placed by CASA of Westmoreland County executive director Mandy Zalich and staff — Cerce was ready to toss it.
"The truth was that I nearly threw it in the trash because I thought it was a come-on. I didn't," Cerce said.
Instead, she took the letter to the CASA office, where volunteer coordinator Vicki Shields assured her that the letter was legitimate.
Volunteer advocates for CASA represent children who are in the court system because of abuse or neglect.
"CASA is an amazing program," Cerce said. "And the longer I'm with it, the more amazed I become with the good things that can happen with these kids.
"The most important part of the outcome, whether it is reunification with the birth parents or adoption, the most important part of it is that the children end up — not for two weeks, but on a permanent basis — in a safe, caring, loving home," she said.
As an Angel In Adoption, Cerce and her husband, Mike, who have adopted three now-adult children, attended events in Washington last week.
The institute is "a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to raising awareness about the millions of children around the world in need of permanent, safe and loving homes and to eliminating the barriers that hinder these children from realizing their basic right of a family," according to its website.
Each year since 1999 the institute has used the Angels In Adoption event to honor individuals selected by members of Congress as well as National Angels, usually celebrities or politicians.
The National Angels for 2013 were Korie and Willie Robertson from the A&E show "Duck Dynasty" and actress, director and producer Deborra-Lee Furness Jackman.
The government shutdown derailed some of the activities planned by the adoption coalition and forced the awards ceremony to be moved at the last minute. But it did not derail the opportunity to meet and talk with other Angels.
"You had a chance to talk with them and find out the kinds of things they were doing, either to raise public awareness of children in need of permanent and loving homes or just exactly how they got there," Cerce said. "That was very interesting, and everybody was quite willing to share information."
The trip included a legislative seminar and, of course, the award ceremony.
"I can tell you it's the greatest honor I've ever received in my life, short of finding Mr. Wonderful who I live with ...," Cerce said. "I won't say I'm pinching myself, but it's sort of like that. I walk past and look at the certificate and think to myself, 'How did it happen that I got that certificate?' "

A Michigan man is behind bars in Texas after being caught smuggling guns and bags filled with bulletproof vests into Mexico.
U.S. Border Patrol agents spotted Pablo Leyva-Angiano in a car near the Roma International Bridge around 8:15 p.m. Thursday. Court records show that the agents saw two men come from nearby brush, go to the trunk of his and run towards the Rio Grande with two trash bags. The 26-year-old Grand Rapids, Michigan man was going to leave but Border Patrol agents stopped him and searched the trunk of his car. Court records show the agents found a cache of arms and ammunition:
Leyva-Angiano allegedly told investigators that the two men had taken two bags each filled with 30 bulletproof vests into Mexico. The Michigan man remains behind bars under federal firearms charges.
Court records show that he made an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos in McAllen on Friday. Leyva-Angiano is expected to appear before Judge Ramos for bond hearing on Wednesday morning.

Roasted Roots & Spinach Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing / serves 4
I've kept the roasted vegetable amounts below pretty loose. You'll want roughly 4lbs for 4 meal sized servings. If you can find sunchokes, use them. They are absolutely one tasty little root, but other options could include parsnips and sweet potatoes. The dressing has been adapted from The Northwest Vegetarian Cookbook. It's a great little book full of recipes from small farms all over the NW and I've got little tags hanging out all over it for new recipes to try.

When the first Iron Man movie was released in 2008, defense companies rushed to capitalise on the sudden public interest in exoskeletons – armour-like suits that can provide superhuman powers – similar in theory to what Tony Stark wore.
If exoskeletons evoke images of super soldiers flinging cars, the reality could be equally as dramatic, hoped defence companies. "The exoskeleton is essentially a wearable robot that amplifies its wearer's strength, endurance and agility," says Raytheon, a US defence company that makes one version of a military exoskeleton, the XOS 2, that allows the wearer to easily lift 200 pounds (90kg).
While exoskeletons make for great headlines and fanciful hypothetical scenarios, the reality for now is more mundane. Iron Man may fly through the air, but the Raytheon exoskeleton is on a leash. Literally. Even the XOS 2 operates on a tether, which provides the electrical supply needed for the power-hungry system.
Interest in the exotic robotic suits, at least for the cash-strapped US military, may be waning. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) completed its exoskeleton program, and Raytheon no longer has government funding for its work. Lockheed Martin also has its own version of the exoskeleton, called the human universal load carrier (HULC), which has been receiving Army funding for research and development, but it's not clear what the future of that work will be for a military that has little money to actually field exotic new technology.
One reason may be that the military is re-examining what sort of technologies it needs: ten years of war has demonstrated that one of the biggest problems for US soldiers is musculoskeletal injuries, often from the heavy loads they carry on a daily basis. Such injuries have increased ten-fold in recent years. In fact, while casualties from direct combat may lead the news, musculoskeletal injuries are actually one of the leading causes of disability. Almost half of all non-deployable US soldiers have suffered preventable musculoskeletal injuries, according to army officials.
So developing an expensive and energy-hungry super suit, though a nice idea, might not be the military's top priority. Augmenting soldiers' natural strength and protecting them from injuries is another matter: Darpa is now working on a new programme called Warrior Web, which is much closer in inspiration to Batman than Iron Man. Rather than relying on a hard, exterior robotic shell, the Warrior Web suit is described as being a "lightweight, conformal undersuit", like a diver's wetsuit.
The undersuit takes a different approach to enhancing soldiers: rather than creating "super soldiers" that can carry much more than a normal human, it focuses on helping troops do what they already do more efficiently and safely: carrying gear and supplies which can reach over 100 pounds (45kg). The idea is that the suit will fit comfortably underneath the uniform and outer protective gear to provide functional and adaptive support. Integrated components and sensors will help to prevent injuries and enhance the user's natural abilities by supporting joints and reducing the amount of energy a soldier expends. Darpa is also looking at other "novel technologies that prevent, reduce, ambulate, and assist with healing of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries."
Power up
This new focus hasn't stopped other efforts to develop exoskeletons. The US Army's Natick Soldier Systems Center in Massachusetts is still funding Lockheed's HULC system and field tests of the armour suit are planned for later this year, according to David Audet, the team leader for the Soldier Mobility and Mission Enhancement Team. Audet sees research on exoskeleton and warrior web suits as being complementary efforts. "The area of personal augmentation is the umbrella effort," he says. "We're trying to augment the soldier, augment the marine, to be able to perform tasks that he does everyday, safer, more efficiently, and trying to reduce the energy in those tasks and reduce that number of injuries."

Two men were arrested west of Willits Tuesday after they allegedly attacked teenagers at a neighboring party in a fight about loud music, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were summoned at 2 a.m. Tuesday to an apartment complex in the 24200 block of Robinson Road in the Brooktrails subdivision for a fight.
They spoke with several people who had been drinking, according to the MCSO, learning that two different parties had been happening in the same neighborhood. One group consisted of several teenagers, and was reportedly playing loud music that was disturbing a second group of mostly adults, according to the MCSO.
Threats exchanged between the groups reportedly escalated to a fight, and William Colley, 28, of Ukiah, allegedly stabbed a 15-year-old Covelo boy in the hip with a broken beer bottle. The boy was flown to an out-of-county hospital.
A second man, Andrew Kramen, 26, of Willits, was seen hitting a 14-year-old Willits girl with a large stick, and later allegedly tried to hide Colley in his home when law enforcement arrived, according to the MCSO.
The girl had a minor cut on her head and reportedly refused medical treatment.
Colley and Kramen were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and aiding in a felony, and booked at the Mendocino County Jail under $30,000 bail each.
The investigation continues.

That's a good way to approach it, actually!
Just found this whilst surfing about, don't know how true it is but these guys are Hot!
Dad And Son
maybe it will sound weird, but I'm making photoshop fakes of my dad and uncle fucking me..
I want it so bad, so that's the only thing i can do..
Please post those pics!
So... I have always wanted to do my dad and I've written in the past that I jumped on his bed and touched his cock and got hard. He then game me the talk. So, ever since I open the door of my room to talk to him while I'm naked. The other day I caressed his leg and gave him a foot massage and got naked with a hard on and walked up to him. I sacred the shit out of him and he left almost running. Yesterday he was in the couch with shorts and his cock head dropped out. Before he could move I extended my arm and grabed it and said "be careful". Today I gave him a kiss on the cheek and rubbed his belly.
Whenever I do this things I sense he gets a little mad, but I feel its because the feels its wrong not because he's not interested. He has not change the way he treats me at all. what do you guys think I should do. He freaks out whenever I go further than obvious insinuations, but I know he's not hating it...
ohh mmm how i wished an older/masculine men fed me his milk
I've seen my dads cock and lets say its a horse size.. : )
With a reception like that......
he got mad today and told me to stop. I said ok and left...
^ Aww, tell him you're sorry and give him a big hug and wet kiss! LOL.
I use to steal my dad's tighty whities out of the dirty close hamper and sniff and lick them while jacking off, it was such a rush and love to have done him if it was even possible.
Hi all
I'm gay and would never consider my dad, I grew up pretty much despising him. But your stories ate so freggin hot! Would love to see real pics. It has a whole different sense of intimacy
jay and jerry hunytington father son st8 porn duo..they have a threesum with a girl
Ginger Lea, Jerry, Jay Huntington - xHamster.com
They have done a few vids together, my favourite is "Like father like son 3" by far the horniest IMO, Jerry holds the girls ass open to let Jay fuck her, his face is inches away from his sons cock, check the trailer here DVD : Like Father Like Son 3
They have done quite a few together but my favourite is "Like father like son 3" totally horny and you see Jay (the father) stealing looks at his son all the way through it. In one part he opens the girls ass open to let his son fuck her, his face is inches away from his cock, check out a couple of snaps:
My parents split when I was a kid and I spent all my weekends starting on a friday night at my dads place. I would mostly go over there after school and wait for dad to come home from work, being friday he would usually go to the pub with his mates and a few a coldies before coming home. This was the 70s and my dad was a tradie so work wear back then was short stubbies and a t shirt. One friday night he came home a little more tanked than usual (yes he drove) and basically fell asleep on the lounge. He was snoring really loudly and I yelled at him to shut up. of course he didnt hear me and I got up and shook him to try and stop him snoring so I could watch the tv. He still didnt wake and I sat there for a while spewing becuase it was annoying the crap out of me. Then I noticed that I could see up the pant leg of his shorts and see the bulge of his balls. I very very carefull touched them with my finger. I remember thinking how squishy they were and how the danger of being caught excited me. Anyway I got gamer and put my whole hand up his leg and gently freed his cock from his jocks and down his pant leg. That time all I did was put it in my mouth. I didnt suck it or anything becuase he snorted and moved and scared the crap out of me so I put everthing back and resumed watching tv. The next morning when he woke up he was a bit odd with me and I wondered if he knew what I had done. But the next friday it was the same scene, except..... this time he got a hard on. Remember this is the 70s, I had no access to porn or info and didnt really know what to do I was acting on insctinct. I did the same thing and just put it in my mouth. This time some stuff came out of his cock and I now know that it was precum. at the time I had no idea. But what I did do was lick it off the top of his cock, he groaned and I freaked , ran out of the lounge and when I dared show my face again a few mintues later his was still in the same position with a hard cock. So I did it again.
The next friday, yep same scene, except... this time he had no jocks on which made access really easy. I got gamer and gamer and he snored and snored, this time , he blew. I freaked out. IT tasted like shit and I didnt really know what had happend.
I did this off and on for a few more weeks then stopped all together,. but now that Im in my 40s and dad has gone to the great beyond I can look back and wonder if he knew what was going on and just let it happen. Guess I will never know.
Does anyone know of any real father son pornstars???
other dad it's ok but mind..
I actually have 3 clups downloaded of Jerry and Jay together. 1 clip there is 2 other guys and they all fuck 2 girls together otherwise the other 2 clips are of them 2 with one girl. I dont have the like father like son 3 clip but plan on it! I have never seen them put both of their cocks in one hole at the same time which would be hot but they do have one in the ass and pussy at the same.
I enjoy the thought of it, and have often read erotic fantasies about it, but in actuality I would never consider doing anything like that with my Dad.
There is a guy in work though, he's openly gay and also an alcoholic (he thinks people don't know but we can smell it). Anyway, we were out in the smoking area and he admitted to being totally wasted. Now he started acting quite strange, being pretty perverse and then came out with "I really want a good fuck sometimes, I think I'll slap Darren about and fuck him on the weekend, he likes it rough"
Dawned on me that Darren was his Son from when he was previously married who had recently come back to live with him and his civil partner. Took me by shock, I didn't take anything. He then went on to tell me how sometimes he's very dominant with Darren, makes sure he's standing in a certain place at a certain time etc. it was quite uncomfortable and really just made my stomach turn.
I'm not sure if ts because neither of them (him or his son) are remotely attractive, or if it's just a fantasy for me.
How old is Darren? If he is under age, you have a clear moral and possibly legal duty to call the police and tell them what you know. If he is above age, you may still have a duty.
He's like 26, and I guess it's consenting. The three of them (him, his partner and Darren) are all strange though. Just the other day he was telling me how his partner has been cheating on him for 2 years, but he doesn't care because "he would do the same".
I'm not going to call the police, they're both consenting adults, even if they're fucking weird. I have often contemplated reporting his drinking to a manager, no idea how they haven't copped on yet, he's constantly falling asleep at his desk, and I work in the Civil Service, so it's not like hes dealing with everyday office stuff, it is people's personal, sensitive information.
I showered with my dad till I was 15. I've held his hard cock soooo hot!

I never thought of my father sexually, or did I? A few weeks ago my partner pointed out that the three men I have had serious relationships with have all had more than a passing resemblence to my dad. I am now wondering if deep down I was looking for him in other men. I don't think I would have buried any desire I might have had, for a brief time in my early teens I had a very sexual relationship with my brother and never had negative feelings about that. Actually if dad and I had fucked it probably would have improved our relationship as we would have had, at last, one thing in common.
I am of course a incest perv and have posted in this many of times. Sadly never had a chance to do my dad or jack with him but always have. Anyway this time I thought I would talk about father and son incest in gay porn where they actually play a family as in father and son. There is a new dvd by c1r.com called "Fucked By Our Dads". Check it out guys! Looks so hot! Can't wait to watch it all and get the dvd! So that brings me to wonder what other gay porn dvd is there where they play a father and son? I have Father Figure 2 where the 2 dads both have 1 son and they go to a resort together and end up keeping it in the family at the end and the boys get fucked by their own dads. I also have Like Father Like Son with Ace Harden from the 90's. There is also the first Father Figure, plus the Dad Goes To College dvds. So what other ones. There is a straight series called Like Father Like Son, but they only fuck a woman together of course.
I'd like to find a porn flick that has a plot centered around a son spying on his dad getting fucked by another dad.
nice story tangelfoot, so hot.
Never wanted to do my dad but there was a time I was curious and I saw him shower a few times. He didn't shut the door properly once, definitely not intentionally because we had a full house of family. I saw him soaping up and his cock bouncing with the motions. A couple other times I peeked through the window gap but after that I guess I was satisfied.

When I was 13-15, I went through a stage that I wanted my dad. I never found him attractive, but for some reason I just thought be hot to do things with him. I got curious and started to sneak his dirty boxers out of the laundry basket, and sniffed and licked cum, pee, and skid mark stains. Later I moved to his sweaty t shirts and licked the armpit area. I grew out of it.Now I look at my dad now, and can not see myself doing anything with him. The thought grosses me out. all though I do look at other guys dads that are hot, and imagine if I was their son, i would do anything with him lol.
"So that brings me to wonder what other gay porn dvd is there where they play a father and son?"
Men of the Midway with Paul Baressi.
When I was 12 my dad gave me the "sex talk". I didn't understand all the stuff about getting hair and how a dick could go into a pussy so I asked to see his penis. He pulled down his pants and showed me but it started to grow so he put it away. A week later he asked me if I wanted to see it. I said yes. He pulled down his pants and was totally hard. I looked at it and in a few seconds he started shooting. He apologized and went to the bathroom. The next weekend the same thing except he said I could touch it so I did and he shot. It progressed from there and we still do stuff.
its cool dude, i used to do the same, take my Dads tighty whities (hanes, fruits or staffords) and snif them and wear them, i couldn't wait until we were the same size and we could "borrow" each others
This guys are so not real, fake as santa. Stay away....

Facebook Blitz-only account:
I am obsessed with this bloody game
Finally got around to making my RB Facebook account:
Bob L. Head -> Bobblehead -> one of my RB3 complaints. First thing I could come up with that sounded like a realistic name.
I stupidly had it linked to my real account, so I had to unlink it. It screwed up all of the goals.

In this new tanky style metagame why isn't Pred even used by pros? Is it because he doesn't have an AoE farming tool or what?
Dear S2, all I want for my birthday is Brophelia. Please make it happen, thank you.
^Like none of the above
Only reason is that he gets kited by experienced players - tablet, void , frostwolf you dont beat him one on one strait up
Or the other reason is fashion there were times that Maliken , Panda , Gladiator were owning but they got forgotten
same with predator
Yeah, what do I know.
Before denouncing my arguments at lease try to bring arguments on why not, because this rejection brings no information.
Also the problem about kiting can be said about pretty much any melee carry, I decided that is obvious.
Anyways I'll just argument myself
No stun -> kite, pop void talisman, fight back etc.
No AoE -> Current meta is push orientated and him having skills that do greatly only on heroes is not what teams are looking for.
Slow farmer -> If the supports don't have AoE cleanup skills, he can't handle triplestacks by himself early on.
Get outcarried by agi carries -> Agility carries have a high amount of agility as you might suspect thus having a nice chunk of armor and atackspeed.
I'll split this in 2 parts for your ease
1) More armor -> less lifesteal
2) More attack speed -> gives the opportunity to build a brutalizer and shut you down
No pushing tool -> See "No AoE"
I think the reason is because he isn't that usefull till late game. He doesn't do much for the team and like Vo1D said, he doesn't have much pushing power either.
There're better mid game heroes with nice pushing power and late game there're better carries who work better with the team.
But in casual mode, he's probably one of the best picks.
Pred is fine early to late but like DarkAgonizer said experienced players will just kite him.
hes not like a dark lady that can charge in slow and silence all at once, hes not like a zepher that can deal damage without actually attacking and hes not like a magebane that can chase with superior movement speed and a blink etc etc
Pred needs to stay on his target and keep pounding him with auto attacks, this is impossible without a lot of help from your team ,where as other carries such as the above mentioned are capable of staying on targets and damaging them on their own.
In this world gone mad, we won't spank the EM players, the EM players will spank us.
These two statements should ban you from the strategy forum lol.
Predator is amazing early/mid game. I'd say if anything, he tapers off in late game when people start getting their sheepsticks/hellflowers/void talismans/fws.
How does casual mode make him any better? Are you implying that teams are less coordinated to kite him because they play CM? Or because late game becomes faster... because that can be said about any hard carry then.
Simply because he sucks and theres alot better options. Hes decent in lane with good animation + dmg and he has decent slow to get some kills. Then he just starts to suck, every opponent in over 1500s should know how to counter preda and make him totally useless.
thread is about why isnt he picked to counter tanks with hes passive.... It has nothing to do with preda being tank or not.
Last edited by Ackwell1; 05-01-2012 at 12:56 PM.
And that sentence alone should ban you from the forum.
Saying he's not THAT usefull doesn't mean he isn't usefull at all. It means that there're better options mid game and preda isn't the best or even one of the best.
About casual.. you can win a casual game alone. Casual is different, it's not a teamwork mode. You can pick 5 carries and win the game. Preda late game is one of the strongest heroes, that's why i said he was one of the best picks. Not the best, but one of the best for sure.
Btw, this is a Training Grounds topic. Not a Strategy topic. And i said it was my opinion, never said it was the undeniable truth. You have every right to disagre.

1. Pred 's priority isn't to be played as a tank; that will come naturally with items like shrukenheaD and behe heart.
2. He has nothing to contribute to the team by being a tank seeing as his abilities are more fit for carrying.
3. It's predator.
Last edited by Rhayne; 05-01-2012 at 12:37 PM.
Predator is really strong. His problem is that he's typically good against lineups in which people pick what they want, but he's not good against lineups that include the best heroes you can put together with a planned and coordinated strategy. Polly + Hag + Magmus + Valkyrie + Keeper just don't have much of a problem with Predator to begin with and since it's a comp team they'll make stormspirits, tablets and geos which further neuters him. But try him out against a lineup like WS + Maliken + Devourer + Elec + Plague Rider, keeping in mind that it's not a 1v5 but Predator will have his own team too and you'll see why comp teams pack as many escapes and disables into their teams as they can.
Imo Predator needs the team to be designed with him in mind, you don't want to put him anywhere. You actually want the team to be team fight oriented and also to have good anti-push power. You also want one or two other high-priority targets - it's a lot easier to win a team fight when you've got to kill Predator and then they have no carry than if you've got to kill Predator but if you do that you'll be too weak to kill the other carry and vice versa. Same thing as when you pick Armadon. In fact, Predator + Slither + Bubbles + Armadon + Flux would be nightmarish.
Last edited by Salem1; 05-01-2012 at 01:38 PM.
Also, you can't make a runed axe or a helm on Pred. And ALL carries need a lifetube early, else they will have to spend so much money on potions.
man just pick him, he's strong with good farm. Half of the time when you pick predator no one on the enemy team really cares enough to build items like tablet void, etc
you have 4 other team mates, rely on them for CC. you aren't a competitive player, it really makes no difference to pick him or any other carry(but I do guess maliken does the job better than he does, but who really cares.)
He offers nothing to a push, he has no aoe, no stun, gets absolutely assraped by hellflower (picked up every single game) and supports buying void talisman / tablet (there goes your 10k+ gold spent because of just 1 1500/2000 gold item).
^these. he also gets assraped by Frostburns/Frostwolfs and Nullfires. Ever seen someone decent pick up a Nullfire vs Predator? G fuken G lul.
I picked up Nullfire on Legionnaire (who according to noobs Pred supposedly counters) in a recent game. Guess what the score was by end-game? Pred went 3-10, I don't think he carried very well
Then there's Sheepsticks, Frostfields, Enemy Daemonics, armor, barbed, list goes on. In short, there are just WAY too many ways to counter Pred to consider him vs better players, it's not worth the risk picking Pred when he can be shut down so easily.

Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Connecting with strangers helps calm caregivers
By Angela Lunde

As I sit quietly today and read each of your posts over the past 2 weeks I, too, find myself with feelings of anger and sadness.
In a disease like Alzheimer's, there's no cure, the journey is unpredictable, and absolute solutions are non-existent. I feel sad that too often there isn't a fix for the challenges you're going through. And that so many of you must endure the physical exhaustion and emotional demands of caregiving, as well as the isolation it creates — even from your own family members. I'm angry that this disease is largely ignored by so many, including our own healthcare system.
For each of you, I wish to ease some pain. Often I can't. No one can. Humbly, what I can offer you caregivers is information and education to aid in understanding the disease. I can reinforce seeking support and respite services. I can discuss insights for managing behaviors and strategies for communication. I can provide a forum for each of you to know that you aren't alone and validate both your experiences and feelings. In some small way maybe I can offer thoughts about tapping into one's inner strength to accept and cope with this unchangeable situation.
But today I'm doing what I often ask of you. I'm going to simply be with my emotions — my anger, sadness and helplessness. Yet, for me, relief comes in knowing that all emotions are cyclic. In other words, none of us can have the experience of sadness without also having a relationship with happiness. Nor can we know what calmness is without having feelings of anger to compare it with. I have some comfort in knowing these emotions will pass.
Blog readers and writers, thank you again and again for sharing your emotions, your humanness, in all its vulnerability. Most importantly, thank you for being there for one another. When anger and sadness set in for you, believe above all else, it is our human connectedness that brings us back around to some sense of contentment or happiness.
"Look at all of us. We so desperately need someone to talk to we talk to strangers. And I, for one, am grateful for you all."

Dear Pat, The best thing I could do for you is pray,which I did. I prayed that you would receive help in healing your husband,and that he would respond. From what I know to be true,the withdrawal will only last so long.It will have an end,and then,perhaps,the doc will be able to give your husband something for the tardive dis.--Also,it never hurts to get a second opinion.My best to you in your important work.God bless.-Mare

Dear fellow caregivers. I haven't been able to spend time on the blog recently as my husband's dementia has landed him in the hospital for 15 days as they tried to stablize him after adverse effects from withdrawal from Haldol. I am desperately seeking any information that you can share about your experiences. He SCREAMS out incessantly, day and night until he is totally exhausted. The withdrawal has caused him tardive diskenesia which is the clenching of the jaw, and neck muscles. Unfortunately, it happens 24/7 and the only peace he can get is a few short hours of sleep from his total exhaustion. As I am writing this , he is screaming out and has not stopped. He even talks in this "screaming voice". His gero/psych doc says it is behavioral and she doesn't want to give him medicine because he is so sensitive to meds that they "piggy-back" on him and cause him to go into a different state of confusion. If you have any ideas or gimmicks that might help it would be great. I have tried the music with earphones, soft comforting stuffed animals, "ben gay" rubs on his knees and wrists because fo the "Parkinson-like" symptoms he has developed. On top of all this, he is blind and can't really communicate his discomfort. My heart breaks for him because I don't know how to "fix it". Please please write if you can help. Bless you.

I find most of the comments to be similar. One that I find to be of concern is about "friends" and "true friends". What I have found is that some that we have considered true friends and who seem to have become fair weather friends is that they are afraid. I do not hold it against them, I try to understand. AD is a perplexing illness that nobody, not even Drs. can understand. My wife is in a memory care facility. I visit her everyday. None of the other residents are true copies of each other. Each one exhibits some different symtom. I have learned to be flexible and treat every day as a day to learn something new. One of the aides said that she had been working with AD patients for 15 yrs. and had never seen anyone like my wife, so even the pros keep learning.

To Nick whose wife has frontotemporal dementia: My husband has this and I feel angry and frustrated too. FTD is so difficult to deal with as the person you knew seems to be gone, and another one--who you never would have married--has taken their place. I tell myself he is in there somewhere and try not to forget what a wonderful person he was before this disease. At times I've had difficulty remembering what he was like before. But if I don't make myself remember I will lose compassion, which has happened so many times. I am always asking him, and God for forgiveness for my frustration, anger and impatience. I'm getting over feeling that he has to be included in every social event I go to. I can't enjoy myself when I'm constantly worried about what he will say or do next. Our social life together is getting smaller and smaller, but we have a few people who are true friends and that is what counts anyway. Don't beat yourself up, Nick, because of your feelings. It's not about feelings but about doing the right thing. All we can do is our best in the moment, and ask God to make up the difference. Just that you bothered to ask for hints shows that you are a concerned and caring person. Do one nice thing for yourself every day. The Bible says that anyone who lacks wisdom should ask God for it and he will freely give it to anyone who asks. I have experienced this in my life and in others, and why do I not learn to do this first? I am not in tune with the "still small voice of God".

We have just came home from yet another hospital visit. The second one in a month. He is having what I am calling seizures but the doctors say it is his alzheimers. Sunday morning he woke me up screaming as if he were in severe pain, started the shaking and gurgling then past out and was unresponsive to me and the paramedics. I am told this is a part of his alzheimers. I have never heard or read of anyone doing this before. Just checking for any feedback as to if this has happened to any others.

My dad is 87 with dementia, and my 91 yr old mom (ok, still drives, etc.) stubbornly insists on taking care of him most of the time. He is up and down all night, and 'camps out' in the bathroom during the day, so she is exhausted/up and down the stairs, coaxing him to come down for meals--whole schedule is mixed up. We are finally getting her used to the periodic health aide concept. I am in town and visit a lot, and constantly worry about them. Thank you all for your comments--they are helpful. MaryAnn, call a local church--a lot of them have a parish nurse or outreach person, and they will make home visits and maybe put you in touch with some other church members who will visit, so you don't feel so lonely. I'm thinking of you. God Bless.

This is for Kathleen whose mother won't bathe or change her clothes. You need to have an understanding that they have lost the ability sometimes to clean themselves. They don't think they are dirty. I take all my husband's clothes after he goes to bed to the washer.He loves wearing the same thing every day. When something gets worn from wearing and washing. I do not ask, I just toss it in the dumpster. And replace it with something new near the same color and style. He is happy. If you establish a routine and give her lots of assistance (maybe she doesn't need it every day)with a happy face on, she will be more receptive of your ideas. There is no right way....but don't give up. Try speaking to her doctor about your frustration. This blog is helping me a lot so keep reading it - sometimes more than once.

I also am concerned for my own health and well-being to be able to he healthy in my later years. To slow any progression for my own brain benefit - I include in my diet CerefolinNAC to include the L-Methylefolate - an active form of folate that the body can use efficiently. I have worked with this product in the past and found more information at Cerefolinnac.com in case this is not familiar to you or your doctor.

He is wheelchair bound and has dementia as well as other health issues. I feel sooooooooooo tired adn worn out. I ahve been doing this for over two years . I feel so isolated and lonely. I ahve not lived in this area for 40 years and ahve no friends here. Nobody stops over at the hosue. It is so lonely. I am not sure what to do or who to look to for help. Any suggestions? There is not alot of finances to pay for help.

I thank you for having this blog. The reason I turn to strangers for added comfort with dealing with the challenges of my mother's symptoms of alz is because yes, family and friends seem to prefer to be in denial which I really think is cruel and unfair to my mother and me and my own immediate family. It really baffles me to discover just who our real family and friends are.....it really has been quite the wake up call and I thank you all for your ideas and sharing of stories. I am also joining a caregiver support group this week....will share some ideas with you all from my new group of friends. I think it's important to realize that they seem to really live in the present which is how we've been approaching this.

Funny how you can turn to strangers & find comfort & help in time of need. My little 89 yr od mom has dementia. She also has incontinence. No one else in our family will address this problem with her. Another care-giver posted her comment to how she approached her dad when he would soil his pants. simply saying 'Dad I dont mean to embarass or demean you, but it seems you have wet your pants. you need to change your clothes.' This approach with my mom has really helped. Thank you care-givers for your encouragement & support. It seems that uninvolved family members is a universal issue. Why is that?

@ Catherine - September 23, 2011 9:46 a.m.... do what you can. Hold onto what you can, be there for what you can... hold on to 'yourself'. You cannot help if you cannot take care of yourself. Hang in and breath...blessings and strength

I am 91 years old and have a son who is 62 years old with early onset frontotemporal dementia. He stays with me several days a week to give his wife a respite from his care. How can I oxccupy his time with me? He cannot communite with me other than a few words and is unable to do simple tasks. Other than watching TV when he is with me what tasks could we do? Heartsick mother

Due to discovery of porno sites using My Perfect Wife as title, I have changed my caregiver's BLOG address and invite anyone to view and read at http://alongdarknight.wordpress.com. Here I have shared my experience as a caregiver of my wife with dementia.
