Ignorance of law clears Orange County Sheriff's top lobbyist in gun controversy
No discipline for identifying gun permit holders to lobby against open-carry law
By Henry Pierson Curtis, Orlando Sentinel
3:43 p.m. EST, February 9, 2012
Ignorance of the law helped clear Sheriff Jerry Demings' political lobbyist of wrongdoing for handing out gun owners' restricted driver's license photos last year in Tallahassee to lobby against an open-carry law, Orange County sheriff's records show.
Capt. Mike Fewless set off a statewide controversy in a April by distributing eight photos from a secret intelligence file that he claimed were outlaw bikers with valid state Carry Concealed Weapon permits.
The lobbying was part of an effort by the Florida Sheriff's Association to persuade legislators that tourists would avoid Florida if gun owners were allowed to openly display their firearms.
Critics of the outlaw biker ploy included former NRA President Marion Hammer, Florida Carry.Org founder Sean Carrana and others representing the state's 900,000 gun owners with concealed weapon permits.

As Easy As (Pot) Pie
Restaurants embrace the comfort-food dish
Pot pies may be a well-known diner staple, but lately they've been showing up on the menus of some of the fancier places in town, including Waterfront Kitchen in Fells Point. The new Woman's Industrial Kitchen also serves pot pies, reminiscent of its former tea-room days. But when you mention pot pie in this town, many people immediately think of Casey's Bar and Restaurant in Parkville (1742 E. Joppa Rd., 410-668-1616) and ask reverently, "Have you had their pot pie?" Now, we have. And it's a doozy.
Winging It
Without much training or education, Bill Bateman has turned a tiny bar into a multi-million dollar franchise.
Bill Bateman never donned a cap and gown, never shifted the tassel from one side of the mortarboard to the other, never clutched a diploma. He's revealing this, the regret evident in his eyes, as he sits at a table sipping a glass of HobNob Pinot Noir at the Parkville restaurant that bears his name. There are 17 other such restaurants scattered from Edgewater to southern Pennsylvania, a mini chicken empire that has rendered Bateman's name synonymous with Buffalo wings in this city.
Sweet Spots
Local candy companies pull back the curtain and reveal how they're the real Willy Wonkas of Baltimore.
Around the Christmas and Valentine's Day holidays, a curious thing happens outside a Wilkens Avenue row house near Saint Agnes Hospital. Before sunrise, people brave the frigid temperatures and line up in front of what appears to be a garage behind the house. Outfitted in winter garb, they're in surprisingly good spirits despite being exposed to the elements. Baltimoreans have been making this pilgrimage for decades, because the row house—its blinds drawn and curtains pulled—doubles as a candy factory, and the garage houses the city's legendary candy shop, Rheb's.
Grapevine: January 2012
Break the ice with these wines
Freezing conditions outside inspire us to have a closer look at ice wines. These decadent dessert wines are made from the juice of frozen grapes. Since most of the grape's moisture is locked up as ice, only a small amount of sweet nectar is extracted when the grapes are crushed.
Off the Eaten Path: The Lost City Diner
The Lost City Diner in Station North has finally revealed itself after being unwrapped from the brown paper that clad the building for, oh, so many years. And whether you are in the mood for a juicy cheeseburger with fries slathered in gravy, a roasted pepper stuffed with quinoa and walnuts, or an authentic egg cream, you're in for a treat.
Catering to a Dream
Larry's 1332 reflects its owner's vision
Before the massive sandwiches arrive, but after the Maryland crab soup with knuckle-sized crab lumps is devoured, Larry Schwartz emerges from the kitchen at Larry's 1332 (1332 Sulphur Spring Rd., Arbutus, 443-304-2841), the cafe he opened last summer. He's dressed charmingly casual in a worn black sweatshirt as he stops at each table, not seeking praise but instead asking what he can do better. Sorry, Larry, but we wouldn't change a thing.
Out of India
The Verandah lands in Hampden
Radhika Sule, owner of The Verandah (842 W. 36th St., 410-889-0999) in Hampden, says "good timing" allowed her to open her cheerful Indian restaurant last August. When Soup's On closed its doors on The Avenue, Sule was immediately ready to take over the space and offer home-style Indian fare. "I had been at farmers' markets for years," she says.
High Time for Tea
Historic mansion shop is steeped in tradition
Maybe Julia Faye Briggs should have read tea leaves to reveal her future. She would have found out that she was going to have a second career after she retired as an IT specialist for the government. Serendipity led Briggs to an empty space in The Stone Mansion (4901 Springarden Dr., 410-367-8253), an 1863 rambling home in the city's modern-day Coldspring Newtown neighborhood near Sinai Hospital. "I wasn't looking to open a business," she says. "It was looking for me." She opened Tea by Julia Faye Tea Room & Tea Store in 2010.
In the Kitchen With: Donna Hamilton

Cooking in a renovated '50s space gives Donna Hamilton purpose.

With its wicker baskets, comfy couches, and piles of pine cones, Donna Hamilton's Dickeysville home is warm, homey, and casual—a real reflection of the WBAL-TV anchor herself. "I can't afford ostentatious," she says with a laugh.
Say Cheese!
A new shop specializes in all kinds.
There was a need for cheese, explains Sharon Johnson of Federal Hill who recently opened Cheese Galore & More, a new stall at Cross Street Market (1065 S. Charles St., 410-244-5515). Johnson had been in sales and food management for 20 years before becoming the victim of company reorganizations and the economy. "Food is in my blood," she says. "I decided to try this." The shop's case is filled with delectable goat cheeses, Bries, Taleggio, and Stiltons. (The mango-ginger has been a sellout.) Even stinky Limburger is popular, Johnson says.
Hot Stuff
Sophia's Place has Polish favorites from the oven.
For a quarter century, people pining for a taste of Poland headed to Sophia's Place in Fells Point's Broadway Market. In September, the deli packed up its meats, cheeses, sausages, and jars of sauerkraut and mustard, and relocated from the market's north building to the newly refurbished south one (1641 Aliceanna St., 410-342-6105).
Grapevine: December 2011
Drink and be merry with a holiday splurge.
Once in a while, it's nice to go a little overboard on spending, especially during the holiday season. We hunted down a trio of luxurious wines that will make a special gift for the wine lover in your life—or for you.
Off the Eaten Path: Barrett's Grill
It's in a sprawling mall in the 'burbs. And it looks homogenized. But locally owned Barrett's Grill, surrounded by chain restaurants you'd recognize anywhere, has managed to carve out its own identity, offering a reasonably priced American menu that will appeal to the nearby movie crowd or visitors to the complex grandly called Hunt Valley Towne Centre. The restaurant, in the space previously occupied by Greystone Grill, won't dazzle diners with fussy fare. This is food that Grandma would recognize: cheeseburgers, crab cakes, ribs, and meatloaf. What's not to like?
Nuts about Fruitcake
Atwater's elevates the bread from punch line to palate pleaser.
Fruitcakes take a lot of abuse. They're the butt of jokes and maligned as doorstops or boat anchors. Ned Atwater—owner of several local shops making and selling fresh foods and baked goods, including Atwater's in Belvedere Square—set out nine years ago to bring a little respect to the seasonal dessert. "People were skeptical," he admits.
Behind Bars
An inside look at the region's top 25 watering holes
You could say that Baltimore is a city of regulars. People who are from here tend to stay here. Consequently, our local watering holes are full of lifers, Baltimoreans born and bred, and when they find a place they like, they stick with it. So, we wanted to do as the regulars do, and give you a stool's-eye-view of the best after-hours haunts. And while we're extolling the city's treasures, we also give you a rundown of hyper-local cocktails, made with regional ingredients and Charm City firmly in mind. Plus, we give you insider tips on the best places for late-night eats.

Mayor Armstrong was pulled over by Helper police just after 3:00 pm Friday. When they smelled alcohol on his breath, they immediately called Utah Highway Patrol to take over the case. Troopers say the mayor was very cooperative, but also very intoxicated, blowing a .169 (twice the legal limit.)
Armstrong was previously in trouble with the law in November of 2011, when he was pulled over for running a stop sign. After seeing signs of intoxication officers gave the mayor a field sobriety test. Armstrong failed, and officers then found a bottle of vodka in his truck.
Helper resident Angel Dalpiaz said this type of recklessness is unacceptable.
"Well he's putting everyone in jeopardy if he's driving down the road drinking and someone has to say enough is enough" she said.
While the mayor has denied it in the past, Dalpiaz believes Armstrong may have a problem with alcohol.
"I feel bad for his family I really do because this is a very public way of putting all your garbage out for everyone to see," Dalpiaz said.
Now, she says for his sake and the sake of his family, he should step down. And after another arrest, she hopes this is a red flag for the community.
"I do think that it's time that he needs to resign and he needs to be like a normal citizen and go get help," she said.

A must read if you have a kid or know a kid in public high school.. Real life 21 Jump Street #upset
Undercover Cops Seduce Teens, Then Bust Them for Drugs
Last year in three high schools in Florida, several undercover police officers posed as students. The undercover cops went to classes, became Facebook friends and flirted with the other students. One 18-year-old honor student named Justin fell in love with an attractive 25-year-old undercover cop after spending weeks sharing stories about their lives, texting and flirting with each other.
One day she asked Justin if he smoked pot. Even though he didn't smoke marijuana, the love-struck teen promised to help find some for her. Every couple of days she would text him asking if he had the marijuana. Finally, Justin was able to get it to her. She tried to give him $25 for the marijuana and he said he didn't want the money — he got it for her as a present.
A short while later, the police did a big sweep and arrest 31 students — including Justin. Almost all were charged with selling a small amount of marijuana to the undercover cops. Justin has been convicted of selling pot inside a school, a felony in Florida. He is no longer eligible to join the Armed Forces as he had planned to do upon graduation and is now attending community college.
This is not an isolated incident. Click to continue reading.
In Palm Beach County the police have already used this tactic to arrest and convict over 80 students at numerous high schools. And sadly, this tactic is not unique to sunny Palm Beach.
In the Huffington Post, Tony Newman likened this story to that of 18-year-old Mitchell Lawrence, a student from Great Barrington, Mass. who served two years in jail for selling a joint to an undercover cop. According to Newman, "the officer befriended Lawrence and his friends, hanging out with them after school. One day the cop asked if Lawrence had any weed. Lawrence gave the cop a joint and the cop handed him $20. Lawrence hesitated, but the cop insisted on giving him the money. Because they were less than 100 feet from school, "selling" the joint carried a two-year mandatory minimum sentence."
No police department should expend taxpayer money to trick kids into becoming one-time drug dealers just to slap a felony conviction on their record. It's shameful and robs too many of a better future. Nancy Reagan once told us that the drug war was fought to protect our kids, but with these tactics it's more often taking away their future.
We can't change this disgraceful practice across the country with one campaign, but we can start the ball rolling by changing them in Palm Beach. Tell Mayor Gail Coniglio to stop sending undercover police officers into her high schools. Beefing up the county's drug conviction rate is not worth robbing more kids of their future.
SIGN THE PETITION NOW: Palm Beach Mayor Gail Coniglio: Stop sending undercover officers into your high schools!

An innovation in ceramics technology, Emile Henry's 4.2-qt. Flame Top Casserole works directly on a gas flame or an electric or halogen hob without a diffuser and without fear of cracking or breaking. Extremely durable and versatile, it can also be used in the broiler or oven and transported directly to the table, refrigerator, or freezer. Much lighter than many comparable metal cookware products, it cleans up easily and is both microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Plus, cooking in ceramic is still the best way to preserve the flavors and nuritional qualities in food, as well as develop the aromas. The convenient lid features small bumps on its underside that favor the condensation process and return important vapors back into the food.

I use this big one mostly for making a ton of rice in the microwave... This is the best yet I've used in microwave, and keeps the food WARM long after you remove the casserole from the microwave, so the food doesn't get cold while you are nuking something else... :) Definitely worth the money...
I like this pot a lot. I love the fact I can use it on the stove top and the go to the fridge or oven. The only negatives are the lid does not seal well and the dark color of the inside makes it a little hard to judge the depth of liqued and the color of seared meats. Still all in all well worth the price.
I bought this Emile Henry Stewpot for my son-in-law. He has always remarked on my red Emile Henry rice cooker which I just love. I searched the Internet to try and find another one like it, but do not find it available anywhere. So, I bought this one instead. He is overjoyed and wondered how I knew he had been researching these. He is especially happy with the fig color - His name is Figlo too! I'm looking forward to sharing a meal cooked in this pot!

By the way, I would like to know if I can get the rice cooker any more.

Thank you,
Felice Willat
I originally purchased this casserole to bake bread in, however there are multiple uses for this pot. Great size for endless dishes. I love the fact that it is much lighter than cast iron but seems to have similar durability. Best price I found on the internet, great customer service, and exactly the color I wanted (black). Thanks cooking.com !!
I haven't actually used the product yet but it is exactly as advertised and it arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Can't wait to try it but I just haven't had the time!
---which is the main reason I purchased this casserole. I have other Emile Henry products, and have always been pleased with the quality of construction and the beautiful colors. Good price at Cooking.com with a coupon.
Emile Henry is the best product around. It goes in microwave, on stove, in oven, in dishwasher. I love it! My only disappointment is that I could not get it in red.
Very pretty - wish the discription came with hight and width measurements because it is too big for my inverter.
I am the owner of several (20 +) Emile Henry baking pieces and bowls. I have always enjoyed and appreciated the value of each item. This has changed since the purchase and subsequent return of the 4.2 covered casserole. I saw this item in a shop, but it was red; I wanted fig. The item I received was fig, but the glaze finish was second quality. There were even small, but noticeable spots with missing glaze. This is not what I had come to expect from Emile Henry. This fault is Emile Henry, not Cooking.com. As side note, I wrote to Emile Henry and got a form letter back with a thank you for my purchase and how happy they were. Nothing addressing their lack of quality control. Too bad. I guess it's just a sign of the times...
Casseroles Best Sellers
Casseroles have endless possibilities for variation. They're also excellent for using ingredients you have leftover from previous meals. For example, use the leftover meat from a Sunday roast and turn it into Monday's casserole- economical and oh so easy.

Believing you have to play the best to be the best you can be, Coach Kasey Mason continues to toughen her team's schedule as she builds the program at Williamstown High School. After last season's 12-win campaign, the best for the program in at least 20 years, Mason upped the level of competition her team will face during the 2013/14 season in an attempt to take the program to the next level.
Improving from six wins in Coach Kasey Mason's first year on the job to 12 victories in her encore season left no doubt about the direction the Williamstown Lady Demons basketball program is headed.
And despite losing some key players from last season's squad, the third-year coach and her players have their sights set higher in 2014. Among the Lady Demons' goals are to finish with a winning percent of .500 or better and continue to work their way closer to a 20-win season, both of which Mason feels are obtainable goals for her rising program.
Three months after receiving a heart transplant, 7-year-old Luke Landrum hopes to make other children feel better. The Grant County resident, who was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, has created Luke's Coloring Company. The idea is to provide colorful artwork to children who, like Luke, have struggled with health issues at a young age.
As a result of the 8th Region tournament being held at Grant County High School in 2014, the Lady Braves' regular schedule will look a little different this season. With other teams wanting to get some time on the Grant County floor and the Lady Braves wanting to see more regional opponents in preparation for a strong post-season run, the Lady Braves have added more 8th Region games to their schedule.
Shawn West's first year on the job with the Grant County Lady Braves couldn't have went any better with the team returning to the regional tourament for the first time in seven years while posting the third most wins for the program since the turn of the century. But with success comes even higher expectations, a role West and his Lady Braves covet heading into the 2013/14 campaign despite graduating five players, including three starters, from last season's squad.
More than half of the Class of 2011 at Grant County High School and nearly three-fourths at Williamstown High School enrolled in college after graduation. The statistics were recently released as part of the Kentucky High School Feedback Report on College Going by the Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics. The report focuses on high school graduates from the 2010-11 school year. Of 236 Grant County High School graduates, 52.1 percent went on to college, compared with the state average of 60.2 percent.

Can't Attend Your Next Meeting? functions to help Anybots' telepresence robot maintain its balance. |
Over the past couple of decades, robots have joined the factory, the operating room and the battlefield to perform tasks that require high speed, precision or which may put humans at risk. As the Age of Robots enters its next phase, the humble office could become the newest frontier for robotics designers as they try to save time-constrained workers from the tedium of endless meetings.
Indeed, telecommuting research and product development has been a focus of robotics companies for several years, as they try to help connect remote teams working over great distances. Research firm Gartner estimates that the video-conferencing segment of this market alone will grow 17.8 percent between 2008 and 2013 to $8.6 billion.
Anybots Inc., a 10-year-old robotics company based in Silicon Valley, is addressing what many experts agree is a growing productivity issue by taking a novel approach to telecommuting that incorporates advanced robotics equipped with motion sensing technology developed by Analog Devices, Inc. The Anybots QB telepresence robot assumes the physical presence of a remote user, complete with its "master's" voice and image, and can be easily controlled using a simple web browser. And the Anybots QB is a robot on the go. Built on a base similar to a Segway scooter, the mobile QB features a LIDAR system to detect obstacles and is as adept at rolling through the company cube farm as it is attending a meeting in the conference room.
Although it is not designed to replace videoconferencing entirely, Anybots' QB robot provides a way to engage with colleagues and employees without actually being in the office. The robot stands at roughly human height and includes an eye-level, 5-megapixel video camera. With about eight hours of battery life, the QB includes a 320 x 240 LCD screen, a loud speaker and a microphone that lets the operator converse with anyone that might be present. The QB's bug-shaped "eyes" resemble Pixar's Wall-E, and its "body" is jointed to allow the robot to express a few basic gestures.
ADI's Advanced MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit Provides QB Sensor Data
Like the Segway, the Anybots QB telepresence robot uses Analog Devices' iMEMS® motion sensor technology for navigation, platform stabilization, and as a control system to help it process the operator's directional commands and remain upright even when bending.
The QB incorporates Analog Devices' ADIS16364 iSensor® inertial measurement unit (IMU), which provides a full six degrees-of-freedom mobility by capturing and transmitting inertial sensor data to the system processor using a standard SPI interface.
The ADIS16364 is a complete inertial sensor system that includes a tri-axis gyroscope and tri-axis accelerometer. Each sensor in the ADIS16364 combines ADI's iMEMS technology with signal conditioning that optimizes dynamic performance. Factory calibration characterizes each sensor for sensitivity, bias, alignment, and linear acceleration (gyro bias). As a result, each sensor has its own dynamic compensation formulas that provide accurate sensor measurements over a temperature range of −20°C to +70°C.
The ADIS16364 provides a simple, cost-effective method for integrating accurate, multiaxis, inertial sensing into industrial systems. This is especially true when compared with the complexity and investment associated with discrete MEMS designs, which require many more components and quickly become prohibitive due to cost and size. And unlike off-the-shelf MEMS components, ADI's iSensor IMUs undergo motion testing and calibration as part of the factory production process, greatly reducing system integration time. Moreover, tight orthogonal alignment simplifies inertial frame alignment in navigation systems, while an improved SPI interface and register structure provides faster data collection and configuration control.
The compact ADIS16364 module is approximately 23 mm × 23 mm × 23 mm and provides a flexible connector interface that enables multiple mounting orientation options.
As a key technology enabler behind the Anybots robotic telepresence system, the high-performance ADIS16364 IMU has made MEMS motion sensing technology accessible to a new class of robots.

Some Curves/Short
I read a few reviews before I got these and everyone advised to go up a size. I usually wear a 26 and I got a 27 and it's great although I definitely could have gotten away with the 26s quite comfortably. The wash is a really nice grey/black and the coating is not very noticeable but adds a nice tough to wear to work or with heels etc. Get some!

Some Curves/Average Height
I normally wear a 26-27 in the Jbrand stretch jeans, and found that both the 26 and 27 fit very similarly. I sized down because i wanted a super-tight look. I think the material is really cool and very "in" this season. It doesn't look leathery, but its a jean material with a shean. I really love these jeans and think they can easily be dressed up and dressed down.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
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.

For caregivers, it's OK to feel good and bad
By Angela Lunde
59 comments posted
In a recent blog, Linda wrote: "As a caregiver, this early stage of my husband's Alzheimer's is a bag of mixed actions. He's not reacted to the diagnosis any more than a common cold. I often feel he is kidding around with me and finding ways to get out of doing things. I don't know what to feel and I don't know what to do. What is going on?"
I wanted to share some thoughts on what Linda wrote because I'm convinced many other Alzheimer's caregivers feel the same. One of the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's is apathy. Apathy is a symptom of the disease caused by changes in certain regions of the brain.
Persons with apathy show a lack of interest, initiation and motivation. Activities that they once engaged in seem of little interest anymore. They appear passive, indifferent and may lack "normal" emotion or concern toward others or the environment around them.
When apathy is present, Alzheimer's caregivers often describe their loved ones as stubborn or lazy. Caregivers feel that they have to take responsibility for everything; understandably, this can lead to conflict. Caregivers can feel like they are constantly giving orders, nagging, and questioning the intentions of their loved one with the disease. Over time, they may feel resentment toward their loved one, and become more angry and overwhelmed as their caregiving responsibilities increase.
It's important to keep in mind that persons with Alzheimer's generally lack the ability to scheme or plot a way to "get out of" something. No degree of nagging or persuasion will motivate someone with apathy. In addition, pointing out their lack of interest, inability to complete common tasks, or overall unwillingness, will not improve the situation. In fact, it will probably make things worse.
This does not mean that Alzheimer's caregivers should never feel angry. To the contrary, caregivers have every right to feel all emotions that come their way — anger, fear, sadness, guilt, pain. If caregivers don't give themselves permission to feel what they feel, all emotions eventually go numb. To feel love, joy, contentment, we must accept whatever our lives (and our feelings) are at the moment. Give yourself permission to feel it all Linda — good and bad.

I just wanted to say to all of the people here, if you are taking care of a loved one with alzheimers, kudos to you. Not all people can do this job, and I applaud you. I myself take care of a loved one. My father is 73 with stage 6-7 alzheimers. I only know this, because I read all that I can. What I know, is that every doctor, social worker, internet site etc... has a different answer to many of my questions. I now know that this disease is as mysterious as anything Ive dealt with. Odd as it may seem, laughter is what has helped my husband and I most days. Yes laughter. Not AT my Pop, but at the silly things that happen because his brain is not funtioning. He tries to turn the channel with his banana. He has lost five of our household remotes.... recovered weeks later, wrapped in manilla envelopes inhis picture and memory box. We laugh, because the alternative tears up apart. Im losing my father a bit each week, and there are days I pray for God to take him in the night. THIS IS HARD. Its hard to watch, and its hard to do!!!! By telling him about memories, we relive them ourselves... this is sometimes a blessing, and sometimes a portal to more fear of what is ahead. He is losing his swallow reflex. He throws up regularly, and lately he has forgotten my mother, his wife of fifty years. I never thought I would bathe my father, yet Wednesday nights are now a weekly ritual of bath time and sometimes play.... yes like a five year old. It is what it is. HANG IN THERE FOLKS!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for sharing. My husband has dementia and our 20 years together are gone from his mind. I work full-time from a home office so I can be his caregiver and still support us. He is physically independent and physically healthy. I've been caring for him for 7 years now. I live "one day at a time" because I can't bear to think how much longer I must travel this heartbreaking road. I try to take care of myself, but it gets harder every day.
December 30, 2010 4:30 p.m.
I recently realized how alone I am beginning to feel in this journey of slowly losing the husband I knew before this disease began to change him. I got the flu one morning and told him that I was sick and I had to stay in bed. By evening I was feeling a little better and told him that I thought I could get up for awhile. He asked me what was wrong. I reminded him that I had the flu and he said "That's the first I heard of it." I understood but it still surprised me. Sometimes he's seems so normal that I find it hard to believe he really has alzheimers. However, more and more those moments are fleeting.

Its the generation.my mothere also had alz, and I know how much I cared for her. o well we will make it after 50 yrs of being married to dh there is not much we have not faced and made it through.

Thank you. my Mom has mild alzheimers and before I knew that was what was going on I thought she was trying to get out of things like tuening on the oven to heat some thing I brought over vs going out to eat. I did not know my mom has alzheimers or i would have never gotten angry. I do feel soem guilt about that. I also feel at times like I have not done enough to help or else being I nurse I should have know that was what was happening. I has all happened so slowly over time and she has had good explainations for why she stopped volunteering and none for why she just stopped knitting. I know she had some sense of something awry because she stopped driving a little over a year ago. Thank God. I take it one day at a time and focus on the good. she always is clean, dressed appropriatley and her apt is cleaner than my house. she's still able to do her own laundry.She lives in a senior apt and has friends and is safe

When my mom was alive and had alzhiemers I had no one I could talk to or to help me. I would talk to my psychiatrist and he would just tell me to take more of my anxiety meds or want to put me back on Prozak. My mom had the best memory in our whole family till she started taking Prozak for her depression. Mom would sit in her reclining chair and call out my name over and over non-stop and I would stand or sit by her side and hold her hand and tell her that it was me, Sally, but she would continue to call for me. If only I would of had some support four years ago and didn't live in the back woods of a horrible mid Western town I could of done more to help my mom. I became so depressed and felt so helpless, and now I live with feelings of guilt, thinking I could of done more or I could of done this or that. Now all I do is isolate myself and cry and wait for the day that God takes me Home so I can be with my mom and dad. All the life in me is gone. I probably won't remember writing this letter, but I am leaving a note for my children to look at this site so they might understand the disease just in case this is what is happening to me. I don't want them not to have any support or end up like me feeling guilty, sad, alone, and giving up on life.

Its wonderful to have such great friends that understand!!!! This disease is horrible and long long , Its has been a bad day maybe tomorrow will be better and maybe the holidays willl just go away!!

I feel as though caregivers should receive an extra set of wings when they ascend into Heaven, or just some sort of extra honor in general. The emotional energy, time, patience, and selfless love you put into each and every day with the person you're caring for is unmatched, and I wish I could thank each and every one of you for all that you do and all that you have gone through. I can't begin to imagine the emotional strain many of you must go through. The only somewhat-solution I can provide is the suggestion to look into options to alleviate your stress at least the smallest bit - for example, there's a company that sells a GPS tracking bracelet (check it out at http://www.adiant-solutions.com) that works indoors and out, provides two-way communication, alerts you if your loved one falls or is in a speeding car, and a plethora of other features that can help you locate a wandering loved one and give you with peace of mind. My kindest thoughts go out to all of you. Regards, adla.

It is just nice, although sad for the reasons we are here, to see that other people struggle with patience and keeping their anger in check. I keep thinking I am the only one.

My husband is the final stages (I guess), and he can no longer communicate. I've had him home with me for the past 2 yrs and 8 months. No family support anymore. I feel like I'm loosing it. My Faith in God and my Spirituality has sustained me. I have caregivers everyday for at least 4 hours. I'm exhausted. Today is Sunday, and I've been up since 6:00 a.m. I am ashamed of myself for my behavior. He has been up too. Driving me crazy. He is a very loving man. I know if I stay calm, cheerful and prayerful, I can keep him calm and happy most of the time. He doesn't know "how to stand" , how to follow directions, making more messes faster than I can clean them up. Won't let me help him. Won't listen. I'm sure he is as sick of my voice and I have lost it, twice or three times this morn. by yelling and getting mad. I know it doesn't do either of us any good. I know I can't make his kids or mine come to visit us. I worry about material things that I never use to. He's been on death door so many times, and I have never been this ugly before in my life. I'm doing all the things for myself that I'm suppose to according to the "books". My financial situation is totally nil. Bills and debts aren't. House maintainance is constant. Caregiving services and State services are all worried about money, not us. They don't mention "how are you? or How is your husband?" . I am creative. I love my husband more than life itself. I'm scarred of loosing him. I'm

I am 70 yrs old, my husband is 80. He was diagnosied AL yr ago. I think he is mild area. the word mild doesn't seem right because it is so bad. we went thru a faze of him being mean, nasty, out of the clear yelling at me. It was so awful and not like hime at all. Now its strange to discribe, he is glued to my hip. he is happy most of the time just wants to be with me. his energy level is low. How fast does this go? right now it seems I can keep things happy. How long?

Sorry, this is Jen, again - My mom is 69yrs old with AD. It is nice to read these posts and know I'm not alone. The mixed of emotions that come racing to the surface is overwhelming at times and can come times you least expect it, I could here a song, forget to put my earrings on, here someone's voice you haven't heard in a long time and BAM here come the flood gates of emotions cause I've held them in every day for the last 3 months since my last cry. I have "joined" some Alzheimer pages on Facebook but most of them seem to be just statemenet oriented - Does anyone know of a good website that people like ourselves could go (a blog or chat room etc..) and lean on each other, share experiences, advice, talk about medications, symptoms, etc.. and get some support? I wish you all much happiness and peace through the holidays with your loved ones. God Bless and much love xoxo

My mom, who has been my best friend and confidant for many years, was diagnosed with Alzheimers over a year ago and has pregressed very rapidly in this horrible disease. Both of my Granmothers had AD and my Great Grandmother (and they say it's not hereditary, right!) I thought I knew a lot about this disease, however I was VERY wrong. I joined a support group for children cargegivers for their parents with Alzheimners - I will never forget what someone said to me the first time I went, a man sitting a couple people away looked at me and very gently said "Do not ever expect anyone to understand how you feel, not your spouse, best friend, your children, no one - that is what this group is for. In order to take care of you, your family and other relationships, come here and "vent" and share and learn with us. I am not saying you can not share with the people close to you but be careful not to make those relationships about your mother's disease and nurture other relationships in your life and nurture yourself throughout this process - you MUST take care of you too." Of course I didn't know what he meant at the time but I do now. This has been the most horrible thing to go through as a family. I am with my mom most ofthe time so therefore I hold in all my feelings and I do find myslef going numb - it affects how I feel about everything. I have always been the "caretaker" of the family and the "fixer", I can't fix this and take her pain

My mom is 83 and has late stage AD. She just moved into a skilled care faci;ity after being in the hospital for aspiration pneumonia. Her swallowing is impaired. I am her caregiver and also raising a family of my own. I find it heartwrenching when she goes from one stage to the next, and each time, I so very much miss the previous stage after it's past. Enjoy your loved one while they still know who you are! I know it's overwhelming at times, but time is short. Make the best of it, and laugh when you can.

2010/09/alzheimer-sufferers-yearning-for-home / I found this article interesting, as a care giver one of the most challenging things can be dealing with the overwhelming feeling many have when they are completely lost and do not know where they are. It is an impossible feeling to understand but also hard to help someone going through it. - Corrie

With my mom, in retrospect, I think the "apathy" aspect of dementia is "lucky" for the affected; they don't seem to feel the alarm or fear of what lies ahead for them.

my downsyndrome daughter just turned 45. She is stillwith me and unfortunately has Hep.C. Hep C does destroy brain cells, and most downsyndromes get Alzheimer's, therefore, I am not sure if she has AD or not, but from what I have read, it sure sounds like she is in the first stages. She was once a very active young lady. Now she has no interest in her cd's, dvd's, word search books, etc. All she wants to do is sleep and that mostly is the hep C. It is great to know that MY emotions are not out of wack. It sure is a learning process for me in understanding her, and extra patience, etc., and also a forgiving process to all those that never call from one month to the next. I think that irritates me the most. two of her sisters call and her one brother.(2 others are lost in space). Friends, well, that's when you know who is and who isn't. Thanks for all the input, it is very much appreciated. Shalom.

Bonnie: I was diagnosed with AD two years ago and still function quite well although I can see areas where I am beginning to slip. I live in my own home with another person, and my daughter visits and helps out 4 or 5 days a week. I can't do a lot of housework d/t lower back problems. But, to address your concern: I turn most of the lights on later in the day because I feel myself getting slightly depressed, a little lonely, and just "out of sorts." Probably beginning sundowners. A lot of "normal" people feel better in summer when there is more sunlight, and I think we with AD just feel better with the lights on. A small price to pay. I have written a book (Amazon; Kindle; & www.firesidepubs.com) about my experiences during the first year and things I have done to help myself. I may know a little more about AD than many when first diagnosed because I have been a caregiver for my mom for 10 years and worked professionally with AD patients, but it is a whole new ballgame to become the patient. I tried to be patient with my mom, but I drew the line when she tried to kick me. Fortunately, I stopped it before it happened or I could have been abused a lot by her. My five brohers did not believe me when I told them how she acted and eventually had to place her in a nursing home. One took her out then found out the sad reality. Bless you all for being so kind to your love ones. Anyone wanting to see a bit of how I felt when I got the news, check Lois Bennet

sylvia I hope you hang in there. Family in deneil can be frustrating. My mom who has dementia would "turn on" when ever my siblings where around or called. They where around for only short periods of time. they did not believe me or my Dad that she had dementia. We finally asked each in turn to come for a visit of several days and had them stay for several hours at time with out us. They saw we and the MD's where correct. Re: the time with your loved one. I took my Mom to see one of her favorite musicians recently. I knew she would not remember the next day, but to see her enjoy her self in the moment was wonderful. She lit up and moved to the music. It was the most animated she had been in a while. It is a memory i'll have for years.
