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.

Negative thoughts make Alzheimer's caregiving harder
By Angela Lunde
56 comments posted
This morning I went to teach a yoga class at a local studio. Each month, The Karma Yoga Project offers a yoga instructor the opportunity to guide a class for the community with a free will donation collected for a charity or non-profit. The Alzheimer's Association was my non-profit of choice. I arrived shortly before the 10:00 start time only to discover that is was actually an 8:00 start time.
Almost before my next breath my mind raced: "Am I a complete idiot, how could I be so irresponsible?" Followed by my cynical self thinking, "Well, given the week I've had wouldn't you know something like this would happen." Like an automatic switch, my mind was drawn into negative self talk. Remember, our mind believes what we tell it, so in those next several minutes I felt miserable and defeated.
I bring this up because last time we talked about setting intentions and daily affirmations. In this situation, it didn't matter what my intention was, or the daily affirmation I was particularly mindful of. Something bad still happened. Or so it felt.
Similarly, Deborah replied to the last blog with this: "I do try to have a positive attitude but I have to tell you just telling yourself each morning that this day is going to be really good does not change a thing." And I have to imagine that many of you may feel like Deborah — believing it to be an impossible task to think positive when you're living the life of a caregiver. Bad things will happen even with the best intentions.
Whether or not you understand or buy into the power of intention and affirmations, maybe we can all agree that there is a connection between what we think and how our thoughts make us feel. Our thoughts shape who we are. Behind every situation there is a thought, and how we perceive that situation and respond determines how we cope, or not.
In other words, the stress you feel is not only the result of your personal caregiving situation but also your perception of it. Caregivers are uniquely susceptible to unhelpful thought patterns. One example is that of over-generalizing. Let's say the one you're caring for is repeating the same question over and over. Negative thinking would be, "When is this going to stop? This will go on all day. No one understands how difficult this is."
Positive self talk on the other hand sounds more like, "This doesn't go on all the time. After a while he usually gets distracted by something else. I can remain calm and patient for a while longer. This is a symptom of his disease."
The fact is that we can control our thoughts and our mind believes what we tell it. So, when we channel thoughts in a more positive direction, things are better. More often than not, we gain a sense of control and the resilience to cope more effectively with the stress and demands of caregiving.
Why is this concept of positive self talk, affirmations, and perceiving the glass half full rather than half empty one I speak about frequently? Because these ideas and tools give us the power to change what we can change. We can't change many of the realities of Alzheimer's, but we can change our thinking and that changes how we feel. Perhaps most importantly, you may find you become kinder and gentler with yourself.
So, how do you begin the practice of fighting off these negative thoughts? First off, know that negative thoughts happen automatically — remember my immediate negative thoughts about the yoga class. The key is to become an expert in identifying your negative thoughts quickly and not let them linger and find refuge in your mind.
Instead of fighting with your negative thoughts, just be aware and observe them. Don't get sucked into them. Recognizing that you are having negative thoughts is vital. It's at that point that you can choose to replace negative thoughts with positive ones and take control of how you feel.
As I got into my car after leaving the yoga class I never taught, I thought to myself, I can make mistakes, I'm human, I'm not perfect and I'm OK with that. Later that day, I received an e-mail from the organizer of the Karma Yoga Project. He wrote that he found it refreshing to know that I could make such a mistake — feels good to know we all share such imperfection he said.
"It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so."

I am a caregiver now. My husband was diagnoised with alzheimer's in 2004. To watch the changes in him is very very hard and to care for him is very difficult. My husband can still at this point be up and around but yet so confused and lost. Even though he had polio as a child the Doctor tells me he is healthy otherwise at 77 years of age. He use to be so active before this happen and always so busy. To exspell some of his energy he seems to be obsessed with wiping on the table with his hand while sitting there. When he sits in a chair he is constantly running his hand up and down the crease of his pants and it is though he doesn't hear me when I try to divert his attention to something else. He is up a lot a night always wanting to go home. I too see such a big change in him around the full moon.....about a week before. It is a very difficult time. Also I find on rainy dark days it is best to burn lots of lights because the darker days seem to confuse him more and it is harder on me. My Doctor has recommended that I try to get to the gym several times a week to do some type of exercise to help my sanity. I do find this helps a lot. My heart goes out to those dealing with a loved one who has this terrible disease. It took me a while to realize I have to understand this is not the same sweet, caring wonderful person I have always known. That person is gone.....they leave you before they really leave you. I am so glad I found out about this website.

I am a caregiver and have been a cna for 8 yrs now. Taking care of someone who has alzheimer's can be a difficult at times. At this time I am dong private in home care and one of my client's is in the 3rd stage. I have taken care of this person for only 6 months and have seen her decline drastically. At times I go outside and take a break and cry. This is not an easy thing for family and friends to handle and my best advise to anyone is please be empathetic. If you could just put yourself in their shoes for just an hour..Being confused, not knowing from one minute to the next what is going on..Can you imagine the fear and anxiety of this person..Also please feel blessed and just be there for this person..We are able to make decisions for ourselves and know where we are..how to get to the store and back..Both my parents were in wheelchairs due to polio and some take it for granted what we can do for ourselves..I thank God every day I can walk and do for myself. Without him I am nothing..To have him I can do all things..Hope this helps someone..God Bless and please do not give up..you can do this and you can hold your head up high knowing you can look in the mirror with a smile..I Peter 5:7 this is a good one..take care Kay...Yes I have seen changes in residents when there is a full moon..they will really keep you on your toes.

Mary, your uncle might need to be on an anti psychosis medication. You could take your uncle to a GP doctor and discuss the situation with him. I am dad's caregiver, he has dementia and a few years ago dad was acting out very strangely and the doctor prescribed a low dosage medication for his psychosis and all is good now. Hope this helps.

I was acaregiver to my husband of only 15years, until I was unable to handle the situation alone, he is now in a Long term care facility, unable to walk, confined to a wheelchair, a clever and gifted man is now living in the past, of which I was not part, and I can only guess what he is thinking or asking

My 92 year old Dad was diagnosed 6-7 years ago. His 3rd wife has tried to keep him home for financial reasons. He cannot support his own weight, his health has declined and falls. The wife has many health concerns and is unable to continue care but is fighting Dad's full time care center confinement, which my brother and I are recommending. Legally the wife has control. I am trying to avoid a legal argument, just beleive both need to be safe and sound. His wife's children want to honor their Mother's wishes. We are at an impasse. I am considering inviting a social worker's intervention. What does anyone else think ?

Having read this great piece of positive thinking, I totally agree with it. However, my 88 yrs. husband is VERY negative about everything. He gets angry over the stupidst things and takes it out on me verbally! Guess I keep getting hurt over what he says and take it personally. (No abuse...just verbal). Anybody have any suggestiions? I try to start each day with a positive attitude which I think is very important, but by evening I'm actually worn out!

My 60 year old husband was recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. He has probably had symptoms for 5 years. He is no longer working. I lost my mother to Alzheimer's disease 6 years ago. I took care of her for 14 years. The only think I learned from this disease is that it is evil. I know what is in store for me and my husband. I don't know how to live without hope

June,Thank you! WOW your self-awareness is fantastic! Plus you're taking good care of yourself. Over the years I fell into caregiver roles for an Aunt and now for my mother-in-law. Their is stress relief that comes with self-awareness and proper self care -it is a journey! With multiple siblings, an honest, open look / discussion around coping skills/behaviors can help to accept people "where they are" and can help to focus on best interest and care of the one in need (SO important to include the loved one early & when able to honor the dignity and desires of their needs). Initially in my journey the role felt like a burden - feelings transformed into a "gift" and uncovered my passion! Stats show that 1 in 4 people provide care for a loved one. As an effort to help other caregivers I changed careers and bring my skills, and passion to work with an in-home health agency who shares the same passion and quality care where we offer respite care, help people "age in place' etc. I am surprised at the many unaware of such opportunity - so this is one way I can help other family caregivers. Alzheimer ultimately requires 24/7 care or a facility - yet facilities can't always provide one-on-one care as needed. I visit and assist regularly, and recently hired someone to visit the two days/wk. so they spend 3 hrs./ wk to queue at meal time and socialize one-one-one. All the best to you! Thanks again for sharing your story!

June, I understand your situation, but remember YOU are the caregiver to someone who cannot make wise decisions any longer. There has to be a time where you take control of life situations,especially if you are taking care of all appts. Dr.visits shopping ecct.Moving is expensive and exhausting for both of you,so when he brings up just redirect to another subjuct. If that doesn't work remember fixation is part of the disease. My mom after 12 years still planning to move back to her home. I just tell her I'm working on it but will take awhile to get all the arrangements made...she's still waiting but rarely asks anymore. You don't tell him no& put him on the defensive just postpone& redirect to a happy event. Plan something fun to do together. You are strong , and a loving caregiver..you can do it. Good luck. Darlene

Thanks so for this great blog. Reading what others are going through my heart goes out to all of you. I have been a caregiver for my mom,12 years, Alzheimer's and my aunt for 15 years. Believe me when I say I have made many,many mistakes over the years and if there's one thing I've learned for SURE is to take care of yourself. You WILL be a better caregiver if you do& don't let guilt get in the way of taking care of you. It took me a long time to figure this out,so please don't be emotionally stagnant like me!!! It's ok and HEALTHY to say I love you& I need a day OFF!! I'm lucky to have Hospice and homecare to give me those days off,but find them with the many agencies others have written about. For me,each day is different new physical challenges ,stage 6. Her garbled speech and thoughts are the hardest to hear & keeping her from falling is a 24 hr.job!!! But she's still here and I'm grateful for that each day,no matter what. Hope this helps someone,my heart is with each of you. Dvcsewfun garbled speech and thoughts are the hardest now to see

I have had such a frustrating last few days. But last night I just lost it. My husband has this idea stuck in his head that if we move everything would be better. So typically once a year I give in and we move to another apartment, or another town but we just moved to the city before Christmas so that we could be closer to medical appointments and shopping so that I don't have to be away from him so long when I have an appointment. It is a win win situations but I havent even had time to find a support group or respite etc. Then last night he was stuck on the idea he wanted to move back to the city he grew up in. In a different province where I know no one and really he doesnt either. I couldn't cope so I left the room to cry it out. I have never heard of anyone else having this particular fixation. If there is do you have any suggestions for me? I'm tired of moving and just can't do it anymore.

My 100-year old mother, whom I have been helping for 11 years, was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers, moderately impaired. For 4 years I have been angry about all the time needed to care for her. This is the first time I read the Alzheimers Blog and discovered that many caregivers are angry/frustrated! I have been feeling very guilty about this for 4 years, and now I find out that it is a common emotion. Thank you for the blog!

Thanks to all of you, and our Angela, our leader and teacher! Your support is with me...we all are doing our best even though we feel we all need to be perfect! So it seems, satisfaction of the caregiving long term for me has lead to a low self-esteem...I can't be patient, loving like I want to be all the time. What is the meaning long term for us? Maybe that we are the only ones they trust and want to be with, and even when we are not perfect, they continue loving us and express that to us? I feel my husband is emotionally stronger than me as he always has been since I met him 31 years ago. Maybe we are stronger than we feel? P.S. I attended my girlfriend's daughter's wedding last night. Oh, what an upper for me...reminded me of our romance, vows, and all the fun we have shared together. What good feelings came out! Blessings to each one of you...we're all sailing in unknown water but we have each other's support no matter what.

Rose, I know its hard to hear it when someone repeatedly says that they want to die. They have the right to the feeling, even though you get sick of hearing it. But leaving the room when you get sick of hearing it is only self-preservation. don't beat yourself up over it. It is also part of the grief process of coming to the terms of the fact that your are losing your mother in more than one way. You are still in the process of grieving over the loss of your dad. Read up on the process of grief or the 5 stages of grief might help. If it doesn't maybe talking with a professional of some sort will help. The last thing you need to be doing right now is beating yourself up for having normal feelings and reactions.

Negative self talk is one of the hardesst things to defeat in ordinary life, let alone living with someone with dementia. It causes us to beat ourselves up unnecessarily. But I wanted to share a breakthrough I had this past year with my husband. Due to several different circumstances my husband and I ended up essentially homeless so for about 8 months we lived without really having a home but living in rooms of peoples houses. The details aren't important what was important for me was that I was forced into a difficult situation of not having a place to escape from the constant questions, boredom etc from my husband but the great thing that happened over that time was that I learned to love my husband for the man he is now not the man I fell in love with. I no longer compare him to who he use to be so I no longer get as frustrated with him, I have more patience and I'm happy to be with him and miss it when I can't sit with him in the same room because of my own disabilities. This has made a huge difference in our relationship. I get less frustrated, angry and resentful. So as hard as those months were I am thankful for them because they have made such a difference in my life because it has given me the opportunity to feel less frustrated and angry with myself for not being the perfect caregiver.

Hi, I am so upset tonight, my mom keeps saying she wants to die, she prays that God takes her. I am so tired of hearing her say she wants to die since my dad died, 6/2/2011. She keeps saying that he left her and doesn't care about her. I know she is not normal and her thinking is not right but I am her daughter, taking care of everything her caregiver, have cancer, on chemo and she dose not know what I am going thru. Tonight I was so mad at her I left mad and now I am so upset. I don't know how to handle this problem. Any help would be so appreciated.

mother finally went into the hospital and then to a nursing home... she's on her second... I have had to stay away, this time. I learned. The biggest shock (besides the nursing home) was the adjustment AT home. For us, my husband and myself. I guess we had never actually THOUGHT about how it would be to not have mom in the house. It has been more of an adjustment than I ever would have imagined. Not being able to check on her was the hardest. It's been 2 months, now, and I still catch myself going towards her room. She is a high maintenance case. That is all I will say as I learned the mistake of posting online when your mother is captive somewhere. So I stay away. I have to. I can't bear her worst nightmare come true. Coping is HARSH. Staying positive has been on my brain out of desperation to escape the black hole of negativity. It's a battle of the mind. And it's exhausting! The profound change in our daily lives... who would have thought? It's actually worse than when my son left home. Who would have thought?

Thanks for the reminder about positive self talk, I know it really does work but not easy when you are emotionally drained. I seem to have more problems with guilt then negative thinking. I take my husband who was diagnosed with Alz 11 years ago at age 58 to a daycare 2 days a week for 4hrs each day. The problem is he hates going there and I feel so bad taking him. I've looked into other adult daycare centers but the VA will not pay for them. I keep thinking he'll forget where he's going but that hasn't happened yet. Thanks for all of your comments and remember to hang in there and know you are not alone!

After reading Donna's comment I wanted to share my recent experience. Hospice allowed me 5 days of respite and transported my 82 year old husband with dementia to a facility near our home. I was very burned out and slept for hours at a time. It was wonderful. I felt a bit guilty for that "out of sight, out of mind" feeling. Bill experienced a fall in Dec. which left him bedfast and incontinent much to his dismay and mine (tho he is easier to care for and keep track of). As the time drew near for the ambulance to deliver him back home, I realized how much I missed him - 58 years is a long marriage. Thank you Donna for the reminder - I will cherish the days we have left together all the more. He still remembers who I am most of the time. Hospice caregivers teach me so much - I am grateful.

I fortunately live in an area that recognzes the needs of AD caregivers and through donations from two Trusts they have a created a non-profit organization to operate a wonderful facility and staff that takes our loved ones M-F for 4 or more hours a day to give us a needed respite from our caregiving duties. The cost is $40/day (4 nours) which is covered by LTC insurance and others. In addition, the staff is available at any time any day by phone or appointment to help with a problem I know that other communities have some thing similar so check around and contact the Alzheiemers Association as they have some sort of oversight of these facilites.Also, get a free copy of Coach Broyle's Playbook for Alzheimers 's Caregivers that I found very informative and would provide some guidance on issues raised here that are different from some of your responses and I have found his approach to reduce the stress.

To all you caregivers out there: Love them while you can. My husband has passed away over a year ago from alzheimers and I would give anything to have him back with me to hug him many times and I would take care of him again if only I could have him with me. I took care of him for 8 to 10 yrs. Grief is so difficult when you have loved deeply.

Some good news this week. On Wednesday we saw our GP. She told me that Helen has a seriously high blood pressure problem which may be causing small strokes - a family trait for generations. This could become critical if not dealt with immediately. She also said that this may be the cause for memory loss and should not be handling her own finances at this point. Helen is still resisting, but so far has reluctantly kept up with the added medications and daily recording BP. It's a small step forward, but I am grateful for the medical support.

To Cindy about the father lsoing the remote. I just have to place mom's on a high shelf where It's reachable for me but out of sight for her. I suppose a second solution is to purchase a second one and allow him to keep it, but your backup will always keep you with one.

Yes, I agree with the positive thinking. But when I'm so overwhemled that my nerves can't take anymore, and I do pedicare for mother, cutting her toenails and then I may go 2 weeks before I find energy and time to cut my toenails then reality reigns and it's not positive no matter what I try to tell myself. I know this is morbid but one last example is "yes the disease is responsible for her sticking a knife in my abdomen (not literally) but that does not alleviate the severe pain and damage that I experience dut to the incident.

IL Senator Durbin wants energy drinks to stop marketing to kids
The Democratic senator from Illinois sent a letter Monday to the CEOs of Red Bull, Rockstar and Monster asking for an explanation for the companies' sponsorship of sporting events that target children.
Durbin says the companies have often claimed they do not market their drinks to youngsters. But he says he is aware of multiple situations that contradict their claims.
Durbin cites several examples in his letter, including a high school football tournament and a motorcycle race for children as young as thirteen endorsed by Red Bull.
Durbin says his letter stems out of growing concerns during the past year about the potential health risks posed by energy drinks.

I really can't fathom why RED have made this run business so awkward. Anyhow; I can't get a run cable off Preston for the MDR1 because the power supply out can't be regulated. The MDR2 is no problem but the MDR1 is an issue.
Has anyone made a sensible solution for this? Ideally a 3pin RS connector would be perfect that way all our cables would just work? Any box's out there? Anything from any of these third party manufacturers?
I do hope the PRO IO box has a sensible run socket or someone makes a RED EPIC to ARRI 3pin RS box.
Thanks for your time

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1mike1 See you soon!
Seems I am spending more and more time at this hotel lately! I was just here a couple weeks ago and am headed back this weekend. I look forward to my stays as it is like coming home. I am always so warmly welcomed and well cared for that I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when in Toronto. See you Friday!

Rated 1 out of 5 by kj123 Not A Great Stay
Although I had reserved my room over a month and a half earlier, the hotel was unable to fulfill it's commitment to a King bed, not even a queen size was available, had to settle for two double beds. Room was within 15ft of the elevators, and the hotel does not turn off the elevator bell during sleeping hours. The deal breaker was, not being able to cool the room to set point, in fact the room temperature went to 28C with no control. Absolutely terrible stay. Very disappointing for a hotel with this supposed reputation.

Stayed for a week for a conference and never had to put my coat on to Xmas shop! Tunnels of food courts, restaurants, stores and conveniences like banks and dry cleaning. Amazing underground of stores. Loved the salt pool and sauna after a long day of workshops and evening of shopping. Hotel was beautifully decorated for Xmas.

This is one of our favourite Toronto hotels for proximity to shopping, restaurants, theatre and attractions. It was especially enjoyable to experience the beautifully decorated lobby during the holiday season.

Rated 3 out of 5 by John59 Nicely located
This hotel is located close to great restaurants, shopping, and theaters. My complaint is that, as a returning Platinum Guest, our status was not recognized. We were there on business and were put in the smallest room (3036) I had ever seen. You would trip over the chair when you got out of bed. The club lounge is always very busy in the morning. You feel as though you are lining up at a cattle call for some fruit and grains. I really like the hotel but am disappointed with this stay.

I work for a large provincial organization that hosts its biennial convention with the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. From a logistical and accommodations point of view, the hotel continues to meet my high expectations. The staff were amazing and quick to respond to last minute changes. My room was comfortable and immaculately maintained. It was a great experience all the way around.

Rated 1 out of 5 by unifor60 disappointed
I am a SPG gold member as well a a owner with Starwood. I:m a loyal customer and stay at your hotel for both business and personal use , this last stay was the most disappointing to me , I found that my concerns were not address by the desk mamager and went on deaf ears. when I come to stay I alays request a refrigerator for medical reasons , check in time was 3:00 pm and when I checked in at 3:30 I was told they were all out and no one seemed to care that I had medication that needed to be refrigerated it took 3 phone calls after checking in to get someone to agree to keep my meds in a refrigerator I was told someone would come to pick it up I waited 1 1\2 hours and no one came . called again to be told that they were not aware of the previous phone call. fond this totally unacceptable and I hope that I don't run in to the same problems with my up coming stay.d

Environment: Home and WorkWhy should I worry about environmental hazards at work? What substances should I be aware of at work or while enjoying my hobbies? How do I know if I'm being exposed to dangerous levels of these substances? Are there any environmental factors I should be aware of at home? What is listeriosis? How can I avoid getting listeriosis? What is toxoplasmosis? How can I avoid getting toxoplasmosis? Can I relax in a hot tub or sauna? Why should I worry about environmental hazards at work?Some substances found in the workplace may affect fertility.Additionally, if you don't realize you are pregnant, you could unintentionally expose your unborn baby to potentially dangerous substances during its vulnerable first few weeks of growth and development. This could increase your risk of miscarriage, birth defects, low birthweight, or premature birth. What substances should I be aware of at work or while enjoying my hobbies?Some substances can be harmful to you once you become pregnant (and to your baby), so it is good to become informed about these potential risks while you are planning your pregnancy. You should be aware if at work, or when enjoying one of your hobbies, you are exposed to:
How do I know if I'm being exposed to dangerous levels of these substances?Raise the subject with your health care provider and check our resources section for Enviornment: Home and Work to find out where you can get further information on specific environmental hazards.Are there any environmental factors I should be aware of at home?While you are planning your pregnancy, it is helpful to know what things within your environment you will need to avoid as soon as you become pregnant. Although these environmental factors should not affect your health pre-pregnancy or your ability to conceive, domestic health hazards you'll want to avoid as soon as you are pregnant include:
What is listeriosis?Listeriosis is a disease carried by the bacterium listeria. The possible consequences are severe and include miscarriage. You can get listeriosis from eating some soft cheeses, undercooked meat and fish, and prepared meat products such as cold cuts and sausages. It is not particularly common, but about one-third of the cases in the United States occur in pregnant women.How can I avoid getting listeriosis?To stay clear of listeriosis, you should:
What is toxoplasmosis?Toxoplasmosis is a common parasite that can seriously harm an unborn baby. The parasite is most often spread through exposure to cat droppings or eating contaminated raw and undercooked meat. If you have always been around indoor/outdoor cats, it is likely you already have antibodies against contracting toxoplasmosis.Many people who have it don't know it; symptoms are mild and flu-like. If you've had it in the past you may now be immune. Pre-pregnancy testing for toxoplasmosis is not routine, so if you think you may have been exposed, ask your health care provider for a test. How can I avoid getting toxoplasmosis?There are a number of ways you can avoid getting toxoplasmosis if you think you may be pregnant:
Can I relax in a hot tub or sauna?If you are in the early stages of pregnancy, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to neural tube defects in the baby.You can, however, enjoy a calming soak in a bathtub with water no warmer than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid, or at least limit your time to ten minutes, in saunas, steam baths, and hot tubs. Most recent page update: 10/26/2012

Comments about Mountainsmith Juniper 50 Pack for Women:
This pack is versatile thanks to the removable summit pack. The only negative is that there is barely enough room for my shovel blade in the summit pack, and the only stable place to store my shovel handle is inside the pack - BUT I can still carry my shovel, along with probe and lots of other gear. Other than shovel storage, I absolutely love everything about it. The angled water-bottle mesh pouch is perfectly placed. There are also lots of attachment points if you need to carry extra gear. Most importantly to me, the fit is fantastic and the pack moves with me. I think it's adjustable and form-fitting enough to use for backcountry ski trips (touring for turns), and I'm sure it's great for all-season hiking trips as well.

Dive Into Writing This Summer
Hofstra University's English Department and Creative Writing Program Present the 39th Annual Summer Writers Program, July 8 to 19, 2013
The Summer Writers Program includes guest speakers, and exposure to award-nominated and winning authors. Often, agents, editors and publishers make presentations during the program, and authors and students read from published work and works in progress. These presentations offer additional opportunities to meet informally with participants, master writers and guest speakers.
Courses are offered concurrently from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. each day and may be taken on a noncredit or credit (graduate or undergraduate) basis. Non-credit participant tuition is $650 for the two-week, 10-session course. Students wishing to take the program for course credit should contact Professor Pioreck at the number above for more information.
This year's workshop is:
SHORT FICTION WRITING, taught by Paul Zimmerman
Character and plot are inherently intertwined; it is often said that character IS plot. In this short fiction workshop, character is closely examined in order to better understand story, focusing particularly on how a character's need or desire is the driving engine of the narrative. Other key components of fiction, including structure, dialogue, style, language and theme, are also explored as we create new short stories, or revise old ones. The class is conducted in the classic workshop manner, where the writer is offered a thorough but always constructive, always supportive discussion of her or his work. Besides in-class exercises, reading and discussing illuminative published stories serves to add to the student's understanding of craft. A writer's life can be a solitary one, but by participating in a writing workshop, an author can be both fueled and grounded by helpful feedback.
Paul Zimmerman currently teaches creative writing at Hofstra University and NYC's Gotham Writers' Workshop. He wrote the screenplay for A Modern Affair (Audience Award winner at the Long Island Film Festival). As well as spending several years as writer-in-residence for Tribe Pictures, he has written screenplays for many other production companies, and is a contributor to Gotham's book Writing Movies (Bloomsbury Press). As a playwright, he is a grant winner from the New York Public Theater. His play Pigs and Bugs has been produced by the Echo Theater Company in Los Angeles and the Phantom Theater in Vermont. His plays Reno and The Founder have been seen in New York City and Los Angeles, and at colleges and performance spaces nationwide. His fiction recently appeared in the journal Confrontation.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution of higher education where more than 11,000 full and part-time students choose from undergraduate and graduate offerings in liberal arts and sciences, business, engineering, applied science, communication, education, health sciences and human services, honors studies, the Maurice A. Deane School of Law and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.###

The growing season has been kind to me this year and my little garden has been steadily producing edibles for many weeks. The radishes arrived first in early July and are now long gone. (Next year, I might try two plantings a month apart.)
Then came the ruby chard. I have been clipping large leaves for at least a month and allowing smaller ones time to mature. It has been infiltrated by worms that grow in the leaf. So, I'm sharing the bounty with the worms and there seems to be enough for all of us.
The zucchini has produced enough to give away. You're right; I'm bragging. I followed the advice given to me about powdery mildew ; although the plants were damaged by it, they were not decimated like last year and are still producing.
I grouped two plants together in three distinct locations: an east box, a south box and a south container. The container has failed to produce anything, perhaps overshadowed by nearby tomato plants that turned into small shrubs. Although loaded with fruit, it's in no hurry to ripen.
Initially a challenge, the green beans have grown into lovely large plants which are yielding a generous crop. The challenge was that something was digging up the seed – maybe magpies or squirrels? However, the pesky critter didn't like the bean seed and left it on the surface of the soil. I kept poking the bean seeds back down into the soil with my finger for several weeks (even after some had germinated!) and the plants finally took hold and grew. Very strange but kind of fun.
I began the season by enriching all the soil from last year with composted manure and have worked harder to keep the plants consistently watered and fed with a weak solution of fertilizer about every 10 days. I would like to say that all my efforts and experience are paying off – but who knows? A garden has a way of keeping you humble and never sure what is good luck or good management. This summer's garden included lettuce seed that didn't germinate at all.
How has your garden grown? I would love to know about both flower and veg - especially if it's in a pot or a box. Tell me, as well, about books or websites that have inspired you. Pics are good too and could be shared here. Leave a comment on the blog or email me: firstname.lastname@example.com

Karsten Solheim invents the PING putter in his Redwood City, California garage. He names his putter "PING" because of the sound it makes upon contact with a golf ball. Two years later, he moves his family to Phoenix and continues his quest to improve golf club design.
March 23: Karsten Solheim files for a patent on the PING 1-A putter. Three years later, the patent is granted. The 1-A's design concentrates weight on the heel and toe to minimize the twisting of the putter head. The heel-toe balance theory leads to perimeter weighting and sets the standard for modern club head design.
Karsten Solheim first experiments with heel-toe weighted irons. This innovative weighting philosophy is achieved by milling a cavity into the back of a forged iron and results in creating a much more forgiving iron.
PING gets its first taste of victory on the PGA Tour. PGA tour professional, John Barnum, uses a PING 69 Putter en route to victory at the Cajun Classic.
The World Cup is televised from Japan where top players are seen using PING putters. Orders for PING putters, which are still being built in the family garage, continue to grow.
The Anser putter is designed as an "answer" to competitors' putters. Louise Solheim, Karsten's wife, names the putter and suggests that he leave out the "w" to help the name fit on the toe of the putter.
Karsten resigns his position at GE to build PING equipment full time. He incorporates Karsten Manufacturing Corporation (KMC) and moves the business from the family's garage to the company's current location in North Phoenix, Arizona.
March 21: PING receives patent for the Anser putter. The Anser's revolutionary design, first drawn up on a record sleeve, quickly finds success on tour and on putting greens around the world.
The PING Anser is used to win at The Masters. This victory at Augusta National marks the first major championship captured by a player using a PING putter.
PING introduces the K1 iron. The K1 iron has an assortment of features and innovations including perimeter weighting and is created out of an investment casted 17-4ph stainless steel.

Architect Kate Orff sees the oyster as an agent of urban change. Bundled into beds and sunk into city rivers, oysters slurp up pollution and make legendarily dirty waters clean -- thus driving even more innovation in "oyster-tecture." Orff shares her vision for an urban landscape that links nature and humanity for mutual benefit.
Kate Orff asks us to rethink "landscape"—to use urban greenspaces and blue spaces in fresh ways to mediate between humankind and nature. Full bio »

Two people were arrested and charged with aggravated burglary and theft after they allegedly posed as residents at the victim's property.
Bradley County Sheriff's deputy Kevin Chastain responded to Countrywood Drive on a suspicious person/theft in progress call.
Neighbors had told 911 dispatchers a black pickup truck was backed up to a storage building beside Jeff Lawson's home.
When Chastain arrived on the scene, he made contact with Celena M. Hensley, 39, and Bobby D. Grissom, 40.
Both were inside the home at the time of initial contact, according to Chastain.
The pair reportedly told Chastain they had been living at the residence "a few days," according to the report.
Contact was made with Lawson, who stated "neither Grissom or Hensley had permission to be at his home."
Officials located pry marks on the door where entry had been made by the alleged suspects.
Further investigation revealed a riding mower and other items had been taken from the storage building and were in the back of the pickup truck, according to the report.
Grissom and Hensley were arrested and taken to the Bradley County Jail, where they were booked on the charges.
• An HVAC unit was stolen from a house located on Spring Place Road.
Marty Quinn, a caretaker of the property owned by HSBC Inc., said he went to the property and found someone had taken the unit from the house. An electric meter had also been removed but it was found in the back yard.
Quinn told deputy Tim Bohannon he believed the incident occurred sometime last week.
Quinn reported the theft Tuesday.
Criminal Investigations Division detective Rob Wilson responded to the scene to collect evidence.
According to the report, the HVAC unit was valued at $4,000.
Investigation is continuing.
• A Rolex watch was among items missing from a home on Bates Pike.
According to a report filed by deputy Travis Greene of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, Charlette Howard said a man's diamond and sapphire ring, a 14-karat gold Rolex watch, two women's wedding bands, two men's wedding bands, three emerald rings, a diamond tennis bracelet, a pearl necklace and earrings, and a ruby ring were missing from her home.
The report noted a suspect was established and CID detectives are following up on information.
The missing jewelry was valued at $13,750.

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsMindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food [With CD (Audio)]by Jan Chozen Bays
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Here is an accessible and encouraging exploration of how and why to apply the Zen art of mindfulness to transform our "issues" with food. Whether we are overweight (as are two-thirds of American adults today) or suffer from an eating disorder, learning to eat mindfully can liberate us from the suffering we experience with food. Practiced for centuries in the Zen tradition, mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing ones full attention to the process of eatingbecoming fully present to the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. Preliminary research funded by the National Institutes of Health indicates that mindfulness is effective in treating eating disorders.
Dr. Bays, a physician and Zen teacher, offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help us create a healthier relationship with food. In Mindful Eating she shows us how to rediscover the simple act of eating, thereby gaining control of our eating problems from the inside out. Along the way she reviews the relevant research, offers medical information, and presents numerous practical exercises drawn from her workshops. Through mindful eating we not only overcome our issues with food, but we can reawaken our sense of pleasure and satisfaction. This book shows us how. Mindful Eating also includes a 70-minute audio CD containing guided exercises read by the author. Review:"Persuasively arguing that Americans have become obsessed with the constant pursuit of satiation, often to the detriment of their health, pediatrician and Zen teacher Bays calmly and systematically explains how a thoughtful approach to eating and drinking can positively affect one's weight and overall health. Through a series of guided exercises and meditations (and an accompanying CD), Bays encourages readers to examine their eating habits and relationships with food. Bays blames the 'Seven Hungers'-of eye ('boy those donuts look good'), mind ('I really should eat more grapefruit') heart ('this apple pie reminds me of my grandmother') and so on-for shaping our unhealthy and/or irrational eating patters; our inner perfectionists, critics and pushers only add to the cacophony, and Bays gives readers tools for silencing these discouraging voices. Bolstered by third-party research and a wealth of anecdotes, Bays's case for introspection over ice cream binges should connect with many. Though she doesn't promise instant results, Bays offers readers a guide to lifelong health through a measured attitude toward food; hers may well be the healthiest, most sane diet book to hit shelves in a while." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

In this book, you'll learn how to: • Tune into your body's own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat • Eat less while feeling fully satisfied • Identify your habits and patterns with food • Develop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eating • Discover what you're really hungry for Mindful Eating also includes a 75-minute audio CD containing guided exercises led by the author. About the AuthorJan Chozen Bays, MD, is a Zen master in the White Plum lineage of the late master Taizan Maezumi Roshi. She serves as a priest and teacher at the Jizo Mountain-Great Vow Zen Monastery in Clatskanie, Oregon. She is also a pediatrician who specializes in the evaluation of children for abuse and neglect.

A good place to stay in Delhi is our Sri Raman Vihari Gaudiya Math, where you can rest after your flight and get your bearings. The temple is located about 35 minutes by car from the airport and is only 10 minutes by bicycle rickshaw from the metro station. A taxi should cost you no more than Rs 350. The devotees at the Matha are very hospitable and the rooms very neat and clean. There you will get pure vegetarian prasadam meals and a beautiful darsana of Sri Sri Radha-Raman Bihariji.
In this article updated for 2013, we have listed places to stay along with phone numbers and addresses.
If you're not being met, and are headed for the train or a hotel (see below) then your first stop is the Delhi Traffic Police Prepaid Taxi Booth, which is located just outside the customs on the far left side of the arrival hall. Taxis are available 24 hours a day. There used to be a huge crush of taxi wallahs to pounce on you immediately outside the arrivals door. Since then, they have instituted a different system and no one should approach you before you get to the DTP booth.Still it may happen, so be prepared.
There is an infrequent commuter-rail train to Vrindavan. It leaves Mathura Junction from Platform 8 (which is on the side nearest the car park (parking lot) to the extreme left of the arrivals hall and ticket counter as you enter the station. There may be a booth on the platform where you can buy a ticket prior to boarding, otherwise you can also buy a ticket from the conductor on the train. The fare is Rs 6. From Mathura the trains depart at 6:20 AM, 8:55 AM, 2:55 PM, 4:55 PM and 7:25 PM, arriving at the Vrindavan railway station about 40 minutes later.
There are some good trains that go from New Delhi to Mathura everyday (see schedule below). This list was compiled in 2010 from the official Indian Railways web site www.indianrail.gov.in. In the station itself there is a huge board that shows the estimated time of arrival of all trains by the train number. Compare the times listed below with the time on the board and make your selection. If a train is late, it might be better to take a different train (even if you have to go to Nizamuddin station instead) since it may become more late as time goes by.
There are three options, Bus, Taxi, and Train.
If you want to go to Navadvipa or Puri or any other long destination in India you can take the train. There are some good trains that go from New Delhi or Nizammudim to Kolkatta or Puri everyday. For the updated schedule, fees and online booking you can check on the official Indian Railways web site. Info about the Rajdhani superfast express is available at: http://www.indianrail.gov.in/rajdhani_trn_list.html.
Some Western devotees in Vrindavan have been going to Dr. Munish Bhagirath, DDS, in Delhi for their dental care. I heard that he was Gurudeva's dentist and so also went myself. Dr. Bhagirath has much affection for Gurudeva and has been visiting him regularly at the math in Delhi. He also came to Govardhan during Kartik 2010 to take care of his dental needs.
There are some good internet places in New Delhi. The paharganj area is now loaded with cable-modem equipped internet cafes charging Rs. 20/hr. for a fast connection.
Good Internet places exist in Vrindaban and Mathura for about Rs. 30 per hour.
If you stay at Sri Raman Bihari Gaudiya Math, prasad is abundant. Otherwise, after a while you will probably want to venture out to get something to eat. While there are a lot of pure veggie places around, most of them use onions and garlic in some of their preparations. The Light Restaurant is one such place. You can steer clear of the onion and garlic problem by ordering items that aren't made with onion and garlic (chappatis, any paratha and most of the sabjis). It's not difficult to make a filling meal of a few parathas and a sabji, and the total cost will be less than Rs. 50. They are open from 10:30 AM until 11:00 PM. From the Namaskar Hotel, walk to the main bazaar, take a right, it's down on the left about ten minutes walk.
OK, you've stashed your cash. Next it's time to make your way out of the airport. This used to be a positively perilous experience, as you are perceived to be a hapless rich tourist ripe for the picking. Now, since the airport has been modernized for the Olympic Games 2010, it's much more organized. There are no more long lines before the immigration, even the luggage takes less time to arrive. Also it's quite easy to avoid any hassling if they know that you are not easy picking.
