making tracks
Our amazing partnership project with the Irene Taylor Trust (Music in Prisons).
Making Tracks is a creative music programme for young people facing social, educational and economic disadvantage in Manchester.
Its aim is to increase and deepen arts access and participation for extremely vulnerable, marginalised and disengaged young people who are not in employment, education or training, with a major proportion also being care leavers. Targeting ages 16 to 25, we work with local partners to identify and recruit the young people and work in their local community making the workshops as accessible as possible.
Making Tracks is a 5 day intensive music making programme led by professional musicians culminating in a live performance to family and friends. During the programme young people learn how to play instruments, form a band and writing original songs and record their own music.
Wrap around support is offered for the young people including the offer of bespoke follow on sessions and help with accessing mainstream activities which may be of interest and all the young people are supported in gaining a level one, NQF recognised qualification, the Bronze Arts Award.
Built into the programme is an extensive package of training and development opportunities for the musicians ensuring that the project is of the highest quality.
Making Tracks is an Irene Taylor Trust programme, delivered in the North West in partnership with TiPP.

This portal provides entry into the lives and experiences of Kay and Jan. Together for 46 years, they have quite a few stories to share. When asked what is the secret to such a long and happy marriage, they admit the following:
He says, " I was ready to get married and she was the only woman who could pronounce my name."
She says, "He made me laugh and was the only man I'd met smarter than I am."
And you can see why they are NO HELP with the marriage counseling thing! Both do admit, however, that the one constant in their lives is a deep and abiding respect for each other.
These days, Kay and Jan live in Austin, Texas. They didn't start out there, however. As a matter of fact, it was one of those marvelous Spirit- directed things that they ever met.
After graduating from college, he from Yale University, she from the University of North Carolina, their paths crossed when they went to Air Force Officer Training School. Funny thing about destiny…you may not notice it at first, but later, the inevitability smacks you nice and hard. They often marvel at the odds they overcame to fully walk that path and engage that destiny.
Meet they did, fell in love, too. And in the 46 years since, both admit that it has been quite a ride! Kids, grandkids, and a whole world full of friends later, these two are still sharing experiences with those in "form" and those "not in form."

Michael Crabtree had his stitches removed Monday following May 22 surgery for a torn right Achilles' tendon.
If he plans to play in 2013 – and coach Jim Harbaugh has been consistent in saying the injury isn't season-ending – he must get to work right away.
Dr. Dan Solomon, an orthopedic surgeon with Marin Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Novato, said an aggressive approach to rehabilitation would get Crabtree in the pool and working on his range of motion as soon as the surgical wound heals.
The rehabilitation routine for Achilles' injuries has been honed and improved over the last decade or so, one of the reasons the injury is not the career-ender it used to be.

Whether your musical tastes run to the 70s television show with the Partridge family singing their theme song, C'mon Get Happy, or the 1950s song that inspired it, Get Happy, made famous by Judy Garland, the message is that happiness is in our hands — not something we are handed.
When it comes to caring for a loved one, happiness may not be the first emotion that you would associate with a life role that many find overwhelming, frustrating, exhausting and time-consuming. Yet, as I researched more about happiness and how we go about creating the happy factor in our lives, it was apparent that many of the activities associated with caregiving are actually the principles that experts say will make us happier in our lives.
Following are five principles identified by Dr. Ian K. Smith in his book, Happy — Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life. I have taken his principles and added my own caregiving take on these tenets along with some tips on enhancing each of these ideas to create the maximum happiness along your caregiving journey.
1. Be kind, do something nice for someone, volunteer
According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, 75 percent of caregivers feel they had no choice to become a caregiver, the need was there and they were the one to fill the role. Even if you felt you had no choice, you have volunteered for one of life's most important roles — caring for a loved one. This is one of the kindest, nicest gifts you can give another person. You are paying it forward for your own care later in life.
My tip: Be kind to yourself just like you are kind and caring to your loved one. Take the time to write yourself a thank-you letter for everything you do — the patience, the time, the love you are providing. Take this letter out and read it on days when you feel down or like you cannot go on. Congratulate yourself for the wonderful gift of caring — and the gift of volunteering — that you are giving.
2. Strengthen and deepen personal relationships
We know from numerous studies that isolation is bad for our older loved ones — it impacts both their health (such as not eating properly or enough) and their wellness (sometimes leading to depression). By spending quality time with your loved one, you are helping them achieve better happiness. What will take this up one more notch is to talk to them about days gone by. When I would spend time with my grandpa — he loved to talk about his early childhood growing up in Cleveland and riding the wooden roller coaster at Euclid Beach. Nostalgia and legacies are important to our older loved ones and we can learn a lot we may not have known about our family's history.
The flip side of this happiness principle is carving out time to strengthen your other relationships. What researchers at Harvard University and the University of California at San Diego found is that our friendships actually can improve our happiness quotient. Their study showed that happiness is like a virus that spreads through social networks — your friends' happiness and even their friends' happiness can affect (or infect) you. The happiness of a first degree contact friend increases your happiness by 15 percent!
My tip: Increase your happiness factor — carve out time to grab a coffee or go on a walk with a happy friend and feel your spirit uplifted.
3. Develop a spiritual life – practice forgiveness
When we search for deeper meanings in life, believe in a higher power, or just take the time to understand both our own and other's limitations, we are on the path to more happiness in our lives. Numerous studies have shown that our spirituality increases as we age. Forgiving your loved one for their behaviors — whether it is their crankiness, their obstinance or their constant needs — is hard for caregivers. Take these trying times and forgive your loved one because in the end they are probably afraid and that often changes our personalities. For your sake, find an expert that can give you techniques on how to cope so you can maintain your happiness level.
My tip: It is important that caregivers find experts: geriatric care managers, a therapist or caregiver support groups can all help you find ways to forgive the person you are caring for and forge new ways to cope when you get frustrated. Caregiving support groups can be a terrific resource on techniques on coping.
4. Spend money on someone else
This is a little tricky because sacrificing your own financial future is a concern I have for caregivers. A National Alliance for Caregiving study showed that one-half of all caregivers spend 10 percent of their annual salary on care-related costs. While you do not want to go bankrupt while caring for your loved one, feeling good about paying for something your loved one needs can be very satisfying and puts a deposit into your happiness account.
My tip: Ensure you talk to your financial planner or accountant about your caregiving responsibilities and especially about what you are spending out of your own pocket so they can help you save your nest egg. It may be that some of these costs can be covered under Medicare or Medicaid or you may even be able to qualify for tax credits if your loved one depends solely on you and other criteria you must meet to claim them as a dependent.
5. Be hopeful (the glass half full form of optimism)
The Mayo Clinic actually did a study tracking participants over a 30-year period and found that the optimists had a 19 percent higher chance of still being alive and that they suffered less from depression. Other studies have shown that optimistic people have less chronic stress because they view setbacks as minor incidents that can be overcome. We know chronic stress is the number one factor that causes caregivers to develop chronic illness at twice the rate as the general public according to a study by the Commonwealth Fund.
My tip: One of the characteristics of an optimist is the power of their smile — remember how good you feel when someone smiles at you? You inevitably smile back and for a few seconds all seems right with the world. Even though you may be blue or having one of those days — try smiling. It is hard to be mad or sad when you have a smile on your face. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a researcher at the University of California at Riverside and who has long studied the health impacts of smiling, finds that people tend to mirror each other. Smiling is truly infectious — it catches on faster than the flu. You will be amazed how happy you are when you just smile.
Charles Schultz, cartoonist and creator of the Peanuts comic strip said "Happiness is a warm puppy and a side of French fries." I am smiling as I write this (because I agree with him) and I hope you are smiling as you read it. Caregiving can be many things and maybe it can even make you happier.

When I was the primary caregiver for my dad for 3 yrs before his passing, it was extremely stressful. But I was so happy and felt so good that I was able to care for him in that way and I knew he loved seeing me everyday. I looked forward to seeing the smile on his face when he saw me and said hi, and most of the time he knew who I was. If I had to do this all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat. It not only fulfilled me but also made him happier and at ease knowing a loved one was caring for him. I learned so much more than I ever thought I would.
That was a beautiful message.I am taking care of my Mom now,it is not easy..but rewarding!
yes caregiver makes me happy coz caregiver can help in taking care of my loved ones who are mentally sick or have a behavioral problems
I usually get a special thrill, from the huge smiles and the look of comfort and satisfaction shown by my clients after care.
It encourages me on. it makes me feel, everyday, that there is a greater reward, because it truly takes a special person to care.
Hello i am new to this blog os hope it gets posted ..i look after my mum going on 4 yrs now sadly declining rapidly .and yes the stress is sometimes unbearable ..but i get so much joy when i see her smiling face in the morning ..and sooo happy i can cuddle her i know it will be a sad day one day .that i have to face when it comes ..but yes i am privelaged to be able to take care of her no matter what ..we all should take care of our loved ones time is indeed short .
take care all xx
I'm a new caregiver–just six months in–to my Mom. Yes, this is a big job with demanding responsibilities but I am happy to be here with Mom and able to do it. We share ups and downs, sing together, pray together and frequently struggle together but I'm really happy I have the health, strength and heart to be here. One of the very best tips I received when I arrived was to connect with the Alzheimer's Family Organization and its support group and respite care resources. AFO has really helped me and our family in this journey.
It is a beuatiful thing that we are able to be there for our Mom's, I am doing the same thing now,and I have panic atacks when she looses it. I worry more about how I will be able to take care of her since I don't live with her,and I am looking for someone to live with her,but it is so expensive for a live in,I will ask God to help me.
I am a caregiver for my mother she is 93 years old I never thought I would see the day when my mommy would be so depended on me she has went from one stage to the next mood swings depression loud out bursts just saying things that aren't very nice. My mommy has always took care of herself up til she was 85 at least I started to notice a difference in her she didn't like doing anything she used to do and at times i wonder if she is putting on for attention she says things like nobody cares an my back hurts an if you ask her a minute if she is still hurting she will say no. But it is 7 of us an I'm the only one taking care of her it get's tiresome but I'm always happy to see the lord wake her up the next day although i know it will be tough I don't know how many more years the lord has for her but i guess i will enjoy the ride.
i'm not there yet. Wish I were. I struggle with the thought that I'm losing myself in the demands of 24/7 care of my husband. This self centered frustration, while real, makes me ashamed and guilt ridden. I do have a friend who comes over 2 days a week for 3 hrs to stay with him and I always feel good when I return but then I return to same sad situation of losing my husband, and the wellness evaporates especially if he gets cranky, obstinate or verbally angry at me. I'll keep trying and reaching out to get help because I can't give up on either one of us. Just being honest.
Hi Betty….. my mother feels the same way about the situation with my father…. it has been about 2 years now. She is 83 & he is 85…. and no longer drives. She is really isolated as they are 1 1/2 hrs. outside Chicago and there is no support in the area. She rarely gets out anymore and is losing confidence in some of her abilities. She really has no one to talk to but me as her friends are not doing well & have all lost their husbands. They are reluctant to have help in the home as they are pretty independent & not used to strangers. I myself am very sad about both my parents situation. He is at the beginning stages and is critical & upset with her often about the way she does the things he used to do. She basically wants to stay in her room isolating him & herself. Not good for either of them. Good luck to you Betty! So glad you are getting out!
I understand, because I am going through the same feelings & feeling so guilty about it. I pray to God each night that He will give me the wisdom to react with kindness & patience, but my fear of losing the husband I know (and seeing it happen before my eyes, even after doing everything possible to stop this disease in its tracks) makes me react in ways I'm so ashamed of. And yet, I can't seem to get in control of my feelings & just accept that he's not the same any more. I keep pushing him to be like he used to be, & when he's not, i can't seem to accept that without pushing harder & ending up with both of us so upset. My husband has always been an optimist. I'm depressed & frustrated. He seems quite happy & is usually trying to cheer me up! I think this is hitting me a lot harder than it is hitting him. He talks about how lucky we are to be as healthy as we are! I just don't want to lose him like this! I keep searching, searching for an answer…for a cure. I won't give up!
Dear Betty,
It is such a hard road. My heart just breaks for you when I read your post. I hope you are taking advantage of all the help you can find in your local community and via your local Alz Organization. If you have not called them yet, please do. They will be there to help and direct you to folks you might not even know exist in your location, who can help ease your burden. Never, never feel like you have to walk this path alone. And, it's ok to know you are not there yet. Your heart is dealing with so much. But, it does get a little easier if you can begin to assemble that support system you need. Don't wait on it. Call everyone you can till you have a plan that works for you and your husband. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I to am caring for my husband, I do think it is different than caring for your parents, you expect that but not necessarily your spouse. My husband is 16 years older than me and i still work fulltime so it is hard, I am not to the point that he can not be left alone but we are heading there. It is a difficult place to be and not many if any understand but we are out here and I am just looking to connect others who are.
Betty, if your dad does not have much money then you can get help through the state or the federal government. I did that and now have an aide here 6 hours/day for 7 days week. Only recently was I able to be eligible for this, but after 5 years of doing this on my own I knew it was time to let someone else help me. The key is to get a good aide, one who can handle bouts of anger etc. My aide is excellent, but it took me a long time to find one as good as he is. Do not give up. If your dad does have money then use it to hire help for you. Believe me you do not want to do a 5 year stint like I did, and I am now 60 years old. It hurts me to move him and I have trouble breathing. All in all the best thing I ever did was to get some help. Check out the guidelines for your state regarding income and start applying for help. I pay 7% of the caregiver costs. (well dad does). Also, you can try a senior center, and while he may hate it at first he will get accustomed to it after a month or so. Dad went for years, but no longer can handle it so we care for him at home now. Please get help! Go on the internet and to the state and see what you can get, or just spend his money. And DO NOT spend your own money cause you will never get that back. The lower his $ goes the more things you are eligible for through the government.
Carry for my Mom did make me happy despite the stress. It was my way of giving back to her and she was my buddy all of my love. Since her death I miss caring for her. In tribute I wrote a book, My Million Dollar Mom (buybooksontheweb.com) which includes a chapter entitled, The Funny Side of Alzheimers which contains many of the funny things she said and did.
It is so sad tosee my wife , sweetest woman in the world, deteriorate. I find being her caregiver is very demanding on my mind.
As a retired nurse I understood the demands of a child caring for a parent or a older spouse caring for a spouse, but for my son who is caring for his wife who is 51 and he is 48 it is a challenge given he still has to work, son just graduated from high school…and no local groups to seek support based on these unique circumstances. He has been dealing with her decline for ten years, dx is FTD and no treatment is availble. He maintains a positive attitude and extends himself to meet her needs. He has gotten care star support for in home care while he is working but has had problems finding reliable care givers. Any advise?
wow. im so sorry for your loss. Im also thankful for pelope, men, like you. there is no doubt in my mind that his mother will forever be thankful for your presence and love in that moment. sometimes, its the hand of someone we dont know well rubbing our backs that get us through the worst moments of our lives. know thats what you did. and thanks for sharing it with us.
it is always challeging, but at the end of the day…. you feel great because you done something good. as long as u put it in your heart, understand them, put you feet i their shoes…….ask guidance for our Lord…….everything will be great!
@ Betty-Excellant post & I wish you luck in your situation.Not giving up and being honest is the way to go about everything in life.I'm new to this site,why is'nt there many posts with difficuties from people,and suggestion ?
I am not there yet either. I have been caring for my dad, 84 years, who has alzheimer's, for the past year at home. We have lived together for a long time. We used to care for his aunt now 92 years, who also has alzheimer's, but who is in a home. I find myself being the only family member who interacts with them on a regular basis, and it is depressing to me. I am turning 50 years, and fear that my best years are already over, because of the time and effort that I have to dedicate to their care. I love them both,but it is draining emotionally, physically and financially.
I care for my frail aged parents and my invalid husband. At times I find it very hard to smile but when I do those endorphines
flood me and I'm inspired to continue the journey.
I find I am very happy staying home (had to quit my job which I loved) and caring for my husband. We have plenty of quality time together and I find things to keep us busy and getting out of the house each day. Some days are challenging, but I try to learn from them. I know harder days will come so I want to be prepared and try to make those days happy, too. I especially work on meeting both our needs and staying objective and not reactive. I truly feel blessed to have this early-retirement time together.
I'm caring for my 90 yr. old mother. It is very hard, as I don't get enough sleep. I struggle with a lot of emotions. It's very hard to see a very active, independant woman decline. I have a hard time accepting all the changes, but I pray each day and ask God for help and strength. The Happiness article was helpful. It gave me a new perspective and awareness. I struggle with guilt feelings, as well, especially when I'm not as patient as I should be. This only happens when I'm extremely tired. Meal times are difficult, constantly encouraging my mom to eat and drink. Sometimes she gets angry, irritable and even tells me I'm crazy or to shut-up. I read a book that said that these patients are trying as best they can and I need to remind myself of this.
I and my family have been care giving for my Mom since 2006, when she came to live with us. She is now in the end stage of life and has been bedridden since early June. At the end of May, Hospice accepted her case then and we are so blessed to have them alongside of us for this leg of the journey. She suffers from Vascular Dementia and has been bedridden since early June of this year. It has been a profound privilege to be able to care for her and watch over her. My daughters (ages 9 and 12), along with my DH are all integral parts of our daily routines, as well as a sister who lives just down the road and another not too far away. For us, it takes a family and I dare say, I could not have done it without their support. There have been very difficult moments over the last 6 years, but the joy of life remains a strong bulwark against the fleeting moments of sadness that are inevitable. We would not have it any other way than for her to be here with us to ease her burden. What we have all learned and the happiness gained in knowing she is safe, comfortable and well cared for is priceless and eternal. To be able to hold her hand, place a kiss on her cheek or just tell her I love her at anytime during the day, for me is a big part of happiness. Bless you all … 🙂
I took care of my mother for 10 years as her sole caregiver. We lived together until she made her transistion in March of this year. I miss her terribly. By the time she had passed away she was total care. She had lost her sight, ability to swallow solid foods, ability to speak etc etc. It was very painful and at the same time very gratifying to be able to take care of her. I don't regret a minute of taking full responsibility for my mother.
I have been caring for my 80 year old mother since 2008. The last year she has had a big decline physically and mentally. I will be 60 soon and I also have moments when I wonder is the "best" years of my life over? I try not to focus too much on that and be thankful for each day
My attitude has alwas been, give the same care that I would love to have if I was in the position of my client.
It makes me super happy every single time that my client feels as happy as I am.
Proud to be a Care Giver, for Dementia/Alzheimer's Clients. I love them all, I have and is still learning their language!
HI Any tips on shower time its a nightmare here
My mother is 80 years old, has AZ and other health problems, and is living in a nursing home. She has been there since falling and breaking her hip in May. She doesn't like it there and wants to come home. She no longer has a home to return to because my sister decided she should stay at the nursing home and sold her home. It belonged to my sister. I live in another state but I want to bring my mother home to live with me. I don't know if she is physically able to make the trip even though she seems o.k. when I visit her. I know she isn't healthy, but she's in fairly good shape. I think she could sit in the car for the trip. I just don't know if I should try to bring her to my home or not. I don't know how to decide if she's able to leave the nursing home. My sisters do not want her to leave there and say she needs that level of care. I feel guilty about my mother not being cared for by family. I think I can care for her and that I can get help if I need it. Any suggestions or comments?
Ellie, don't feel guilty. Your sisters are right, she needs more care than you can give her. My mother is 98 1/2 and lived with me for over 2 years. She always wanted to go home – to her mother. Her only memories were in her childhood. July 1 I put her in an Alzheimer's home because I was exhausted. She asks to go home constantly. This is not her, it is the desase. I cannot change that and she is getting better care than I can give her.
This exact scenario plyead out with my elder client who was the sole caregiver for his very dimentia wife. He did not tend to his medical needs, which lead to accute hypertension that dropped his kidneys to 10% function causing him to go onto kidney dialysis for the rest of his life. The toll is high to the individual (3 days per week, 10a 3:30p by time leave & return to house, not to mention a severely restricted diet) and society ($42k per month Kaiser picks up for the dialysis).
Hello new family, I relociated and assumed the position of primary caregiver about thirteen years ago. My Mom is ninety three with dementia. I have been able to continue because of my faith in God. I have joy in this overwhelming situation. I have joy at this moment because this day is over and I have some time to unwind before sleep overtakes me. I feel truly blessed to have been chosen for a role as special as this. Caregivers are very special people and need to discover ways to have some happiness. My birthday is fast approaching and I will be fiftyfive years old. If I focused on my future I would have no happy moments, so I try really hard to think of all the experience I've gained in my many roles and it helps me a lot. GOD BLESS
A s Sherri notes there is nothing like a puppy to bring joy and by engaging pets in Alzheimer patient care real benefits can be found. A study published in "Companion Animals in Human Health by Kathryn Batson et al titled "The Effect of a Therapy Dog on Socialization and Physiological Indicators of Stress in Persons Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease" concluded that pets can serve as a useful intervention for increasing socialization in Alzheimer's sufferers. These researchers looked at the impact of a trained therapy dog, in this case a miniature schnauzer, on a variety of social interaction variables such as smiling, tactile contact, verbal praise, physical engagement as well as physiological factors such as heart rate and blood pressure.
The presence of the therapy dog enhanced nonverbal communication as shown by increases in looks, smiles, tactile contact and physical warmth. The findings of the study support the advantages of short-term visits on the mental state and quality of life of person's suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.

I've been working as an OT with seniors with dementia for 10 years and please allow them to be as independent and active mentally and physically as possible.
I am so stressed!!! My spouse is 78 and has been on Aricept for 5 years and on Nanenda for 2 years. He has some stage 4 symptoms and some stage 5 ! He can't do even do simple tasks that he use to do around the house. I would not be so stressed if he would just leave things alone and let me do them.It would be easier on me than cleaning up the mess afterwards! It's just like having a 2 year old follow you around that you can't discipline.He leaves caps, coats and shoes tucked in a corners. He leaves lights on yet he constantly goes behind me cutting mine off even if I'm going back. He takes a napkin and wipes his plate clean after eating. When he finishes his meal he takes a sip of tea and washes his teeth out. He straightens the place mats that I have purposely left for the table to dry ! I continuely ask him to leave things alone and to let me do them but I guess he forgets and then he's doing what i ask him not to do. He asks over and over if he's been to the mail box and if he's fed the dog. Some family members he doesn't know anymore! The asking of the same questions over and over doesn't bother me as much as the following me around in the house. And he talks constantly. Sometimes I just have to go to another room where the computer is to get away. I'm at the point now that I'm afraid that I may just snap! Sometimes i think I'd like to run away and never be seen or heard from again!!!! Day care or having anyone in to help isn't an option because he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him.
You may have to put him assisted living until he is at different stage of the disease. I had to put my mother in AL, which she hated, but I could not work and tolerate her at the same time.. After 3 years in AL, she came back home in a totally different stage of the disease that was more easily managed. Mom was on all the meds at first, but they only seemed to agitate her more. Now she is totally off meds and without all the Parkinson side effects of meds. I have 3 caregivers and now her care cost than AL. Think long term, especially if money is a concern. Use money for AL when absolutely necessary (for your sanity as well!), but don't think of AL as the end…My mother is in good physical health at 80. She could live another 10-15 years. I have to use money wisely. Take care of you first!
This responsibility, however, wears on you and puts your happiness in jeopardy. They say happiness is a choice but the wave of emotions associated with being an Alzheimer's caregiver makes it hard to find a balance that fosters happiness.
It is just too bad that you say this. I have Alzheimer's and I am not old. I had a serious stroke. Happiness is your choice of life and does not have anything to do with caregiving. I have an adult child and 4 grandchildren and without my emotional and financial support, this family would not exist.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

There is much talk about living simple, clutter free lives. "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing," by Marie Kondo has sold more than 2 million copies and is an international best seller. This tells me that people are hungry for something different in their lives. Something simpler, less stressful, and more joyful.
Yet, the path to simple has obstacles that we are often reluctant to face. In honor of National Simplify Your Life Week, I feel compelled to share a few thoughts on moving toward a simpler life.
Know that simplifying your life is NOT always easy. As I sit here impatiently searching for the perfect words to inspire you, I find myself falling into old patterns of self judgement and self doubt, negative thinking (mental clutter) that I discourage in my family, friends and clients.
Yet here I sit, berating myself because I haven't written a new blog post for a few months. I actually felt momentary shame about this. After all, I am an organizer by trade. Surely I can carve out time to write more often. The truth is I have chosen to postpone this task as other priorities have been the center of my focus for a few months now. I feel content with my decision to honor what is most important to me, and understand that some things will take a back seat for my attention.
My daughter leaves for college in a few weeks and I am cherishing these last days of this chapter of my life. For me, living a simple, authentic life means paying attention to what I bring into my home and life. It also means spending time where I feel happy, where I feel fulfilled, where I feel whole.
Change may be good, but we all have deeply entrenched neural pathways that make shifting to something new challenging, no matter how beneficial the end result may be. We are creatures of habit. We become set in our ways, even preferring the devil we know to the devil we don't; and, we often fear the unknown. Using these reasons to avoid change or getting started on a path to less stress and more joy in your personal and work lives may appear as being complacent, lazy, or inept. Simply not true. You were not ready. Forgive yourself, take a deep breath, and consider this.
If you have a nagging sense that your personal or work life needs a shift, then maybe, you are now ready to forge a new pathway. I warn you, it is easy to fall off the shallow rails to the deeply gorged, older patterns of your life. Don't let that discourage you though. If success comes from getting back up one more time than you fall, then you already know the answer. Get back up each and every time you falter. Period.
Decide what you want, and figure out how to get there. And, if you don't know how to get there, ask. There are so many resources at your disposal. Use them!
The Kon Mari method of decluttering may not be a fit for you. But there is sage wisdom in Marie Kondo's simple approach. What I love most about her practice is asking the question "Does this spark joy?" Because honestly, if you don't use it or need it, it had better make you happy. Why spend time and energy tending mental and physical clutter that no longer serves a purpose in your life?
Writing down what you want is an important first step. You are announcing quietly to the universe what you need and want. And in that moment you are one step closer to your vision.
Stop judging yourself. Learn from your past choices and move forward. To spend an inordinate amount of time beating yourself up mentally serves no one. Your choices, experiences, and yes, even the physical clutter have served a purpose. It is now up to you to decide what stays and what goes. People around you may say things that foster doubt in your decision making. But remember that only you know what you truly need. Monet was rejected by the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris and yet, went on to become one of the most renowned and beloved artists of all times. He remained authentic and true to himself. A beautiful lesson, for sure.
As you shed your homes and offices of physical clutter, let go of sabotaging language and negative thoughts that cast judgements about your stuff and, by extension, yourself. Thank yourself for what what you have learned about what you truly need. Recognize what is important where you are right here, right now. And, simply, set the rest free.

Latest South Bank Redevelopment Plans, London
June 18, 2013
South Bank Redevelopment Proposals by Fielden Clegg Bradley Studios.
( 4th July 2013. After some serious criticisms from National Theatre, the client/architects has agreed to withdraw the current planning application to carry out further work before resubmitting it. Sensible move for all concerned and us.)
You may have gathered from my recent contributions on Flickr that I have virtually grown with the South Bank and have been a frequent user of all the venues in this area from early 60s to now.
I have also admired Fielden Clegg Bradley Studios work for some time. With this background, I would like to express some of my initial views concerning the proposals which are based on fairly sketchy information released to the press.
I was of the view that this complex should not be listed, however appointment of an intelligent architectural practice and a sensible brief was essential to do justice to the site and it was a relief to see FCB appointed.
It is obvious that the client is desperate to cram maximum accommodation on this site to meet their expectations after leading a frustrated existence without having many 'bells and whistles' similar recently built projects have in major cities.
Architects seem to be performing a difficult 'tight-rope' trick and their initial offerings seem quite an outstanding achievement. This is not a bad time to raise concerns by observers who know this area and its history of growth and have some constructive criticism to offer.
The architectural pedigrees of the original 60s buildings and RFH are well known and 'over-reverential' architectural approach to alterations sometime expected by conservationists would be inappropriate in this instance.
The proposals for central raised block facing RFH may appear large but I see this as a good location to gain badly needed accommodation.
My only observation (not a criticism) is that the existing pedestrian route under Waterloo Bridge connecting this main space to the terraces of National Theatre is extremely restricted and arrival at the side of NT from under the bridge is a disappointing experience and is a bit of an anti climax. Some improvements around here, with blessings of NT, would be hugely beneficial to all concerned.
My main concerns relate to the long glass block running parallel to the bridge housing Poetry Library, Literature Centre and Restaurants.
The building works and fits well when seen from Hungerford Bridge side as it acts as another 'book-end' (the other one being the new building between RFH and railway track) and neatly contains the activities on this side of the Waterloo Bridge.
However, in my opinion all the negative factors come into play from Waterloo Bridge and NT side. Let me share some of these negative aspects and its impact on the surrounding area.
- The pedestrians and drivers when crossing the bridge are able to see concrete structures of NT on one and QEH, Hayward on the other side with their distinct 'idiosyncratic approaches' almost having a dialogue with each other.
This would be interrupted by the new block at least at QEH end.
- The end elevation of this block as seen by people on the bridge approaching Waterloo Station would be out of character and far from satisfactory in its scale and appearance. Although the views from inside this building can be very exciting.
- The views from the roof terraces of National Theatre currently enjoying the side elevations of QEH would be lost for ever depriving the witty bouncing of a concrete banter between these dissimilar but contemporary icons.
- Walking at the bottom of a fairly long sheer wall of this block close to the Bridge pavement is alien in to the local urban context. A similar situation is only experienced where the pavement abuts the building line in Lancaster Place which directly relates to context of Strand and well before the bridge starts. Once you are on the bridge the ability to look down from pavements on both sides exists throughout the length of the bridge which will be disrupted by this block.
An important architectural location without listed status puts even more onerous responsibility on a caring and gifted architect and the client. This is a good scheme to prove that excellent results are possible to obtain without 'crutches' of listing status.
The end of the linear block would rise on the left of QEH. Lower floor is probably Cafe or Restaurant.
The views from the footpaths of Waterloo Bridge give you glimpses of a busy riverside walk and various terraces of NT.

Cedric Price's Market Stall. Proto-type
March 27, 2013
Markets with 'temporary' stalls are common sight in most of the country. Some Market Squares which open frequently have now fairly rigid and semi-permanent structures to provide shelter to stalls and often the customers. The traditional wheel barrows with a light weight roof can still be seen where opening hours are limited and a swift removal to clear the streets is essential, but this mostly applies to fruit and vegetable like produce.
There are more and more specialist stalls serving a variety of food, electronic goods and even Barber shops. The frequent rain inevitably creates water pools in fabric roof and canopy structures and the sight of stall holders trying to use poles to push the water puddles often create sudden water falls on or near customers who are used to weave their way as seasoned market users.
I do not know who came up with the idea in Westminster City Council to ask Cedric Price to improve the streetscape and propose design for a flexible market stall in 1987, but it was a brilliant move. This is the kind of project Cedric Price would have welcomed as a real challenge as the end product had to be light-weight, secure, moveable and able to offer a flexible multi-functional combinations of use as well as offering shelter to the owners and the public being served.
Price came up with a steel framed hinged box on a wheeled structure which was self bracing in any position. The stall offered generous canopies on all four sides and were capable of operating in different combinations and linking with other stall canopies, to offer naturally ventilated covered walking and shopping areas. The taut canopies stopped flapping noises and avoided formation of water pools above walking and serving areas.
The ply panels were fixed to side of steel frame forming a back to the PVC polyester coated fabric in closed position and were also used for counter-tops.
The stalls were able to be folded down locked up and towed away quickly and easily.
Apart from the proto-type shown in AJ it is not known if more of these stalls were ever built and used.

Archigram to Banksy
February 24, 2013
I bought Archigram magazine as a student in 60s and being an ardent follower, attended as many of their events as I could at that time. Architectural Design used to cover their work regularly and had a big readership among students.
I have been putting occasional scanned images from my Archigrams on Flickr site since 2008 (before the Archival Project existed) and recently a Blog for Archigram Monte Carlo 1969 competition entry published in AD of January 1970. Both my Flickr site and Blog have no commercial slant and simply aim to bring Archigram (and other architectural work of note) as a study resource easily available to the new generations of architectural students and teachers every where in the world, who may know little about the scope of their work and tremendous impact this group made on second half of 20th century.
Having a quick look at the 'views' recorded for my Flickr and Blog site for Archigram's work, I can confidently say that figure is around 50,000. The hits come in clusters and it is not difficult to guess the part of the globe (Papua New Guinea to Peru) where some architectural student class is currently studying some aspect of Archigram's work by looking at the viewing records against the global time differences
I do 'smell a rat' when all of a sudden I am approached by a 'publisher' talking about 'infringements of copyrights' as I see some kind of profit motive lurking in the background. I know enough about these issues including character and purpose of my web sites at the same time I would hate to do anything to upset either the 'Archigram Archives', any original architects or their heirs who are the owners of the copyright. If any of these find any use of the images on my sites offensive, damaging or unacceptable in any way, please write to me as I would withdraw any offensive image or make suitable amendments.

Crematorium, Crownhill, Milton Keynes. An homage to Louis Kahn.
February 11, 2013
The high quality of architectural and planning output during inception, birth and infancy of Milton Keynes was not accidental. Derek Walker led a gifted team of professionals working with him in MK Development Corporation and commissioned good architects of international and national repute to build housing, civic and other building types within the city.
The demise of MKDC in 1992 and subsequent political changes started to dismantle the architectural department within the Council which was supposed to take over and supervise the responsibility of completing the growth of the city.
The financial constraints and changes in house building/selling sector started a race to build to obtain biggest profits and financial savings without much regard for sensible commissioning in order to obtain the best possible architectural quality to fulfil the original goals of design and planning.
The decline in architectural standards is so overwhelming that the earlier levels of 'acceptable/mediocre' can now easily pass as 'excellent' and if anything of some merit is built, it is welcomed with disbelief and needs celebrating.
The building of Crownhill Crematorium is such an example where a series of happy coincidences led to 'birth' of a building dealing with the emotional issues of 'death'.
The so called birth took place in the back seat of a taxi (assisted by the father) as it was rushing to reach hospital.
Adrian Morrow, the young project designer with an impressive list of buildings to show against his name and a long list of first class architectural practices he has worked for, happened to be working in Architects Department during its death throes when this project arrived on his desk. The rapid population growth of the city meant that the existing crematorium built in 1982 by Roger Hobbs was unable to cope with the increased demands.
Adrian Morrow's commitment to good architecture must have speeded his efforts to complete work on Crematorium detailed design, fighting against uncertainty of existence as Council's architect. The new energy regulations and sustainability issues were dealt with and working drawing stage completed speedily before the inevitable 'Project Managers' took over the job and Council's Architecture Department's 'life support' was withdrawn and unwittingly the department became the first candidate for cremation in the new building (metaphorically speaking of course, just like Asplund's in Woodland Cemetery).
The opportunity of seeing a worthwhile building in Milton Keynes after a while is too good to miss. It may not be able to withstand a direct comparison with Asplund-Lewerentz's Woodland Cemetery in its scale, masterly handling of landscape and classicism of Swedish vernacular but there were lessons to be learnt.
The comparison with the other famous example of Funerary buildings, Scarpa's Brion Family Cemetery (1968-78) would be grossly unfair at various levels but relevant when considering the experience of family and friends during emotionally traumatic occasions when the intimate internal and external spaces are able to offer solace and contemplation to affected users.
However, since the architect fairly and openly acknowledges Louis Kahn's Kimbell Art Museum as the main inspiration for this building, a few related things are worth discussing.
Like most architects of his age, Adrian Morrow knows and understands Kahn's work, (as Charles Correa's use of Kahn's Trenton Bath House at Gandhi Ashram in India) chose to use Kimbell's vocabulary of concrete vaults with flat roofs to create 'servant and served' spaces. A good model to follow, as judicial spacing of vaulted roofs proved flexible to cope with varying and sensitive space requirements of the brief for internal and external spaces.
The roof was originally designed before the sustainability requirements imposed rows of wind catchers. These clusters distract the eye from the simplicity of extruded vaults used by Kahn, but since the intentions are noble and a touch of 'science fiction' adds an extra layer of experience, I find it more than acceptable.
My main disappointment lies with the way the car park sits in front of the building dominating the approach and exit for the mourners. The act of approaching the imposing entrance vault through cars looks abrupt and cluttered. Similarly the car park dominates the view as you leave the chapel using the side exit via an intimate well designed landscaped courtyard, created by parting of two vaulted roofs. The marrying of cars building and landscaped/water side walk is unresolved and to a degree lets the project down.
The experience of washing your hands using the warm water in the toilets attached to the entrance vault on a cold morning was even more satisfying knowing that the source of heat for this water was provided by recent departed 'user clients'. You can't but say "Thank you and Thank you God for effective recycling…."

This study is concerned with six ethnic groups in the province of Ontario: the British, considered the "core group", and the French, Italian, Indo-Chinese, Indo-Pakistani and Caribbean, the "peripheral groups."
The principal interest of the research has been to study the ethnic mosaic in two ways, both in a core-periphery context. It was hypothesised that there has been persistence of socio-economic stratification between the British core and the peripheral groups. This thesis analyzes variation in the occupation-income between and within the ethnic immigrant groups.
The secondary objective is to examine these groups spatially, that is, in terms of a southern core and a northern periphery. Ten municipalities represent the core: Ottawa-Carleton, Durham, York, Toronto, Peel, Hamilton-Wentworth, Niagara, Haldimand-Norfolk, Essex and Middlesex. Ten counties represent the northern periphery: Algoma, Cochrane, Glengarry, Prescott, Russell, Lennox and Addington, Hastings, Timiskaming, Rainy River and Kenora. The data used in this study are from Statistics Canada, Special Computer Runs of the 1981 and 1971 censuses.
The research found that the vertical mosaic continues to exist much as it did in the late nineteenth century. Ethnic job segregation has prevailed; however, in certain occupations the persistance of the core-periphery structure is less significant, reflecting integration and assimilation to a certain extent.
Spatially, a core-periphery structure is even more evident now than earlier. The southern core of Ontario is the first choice of most recent immigrants. The diverse economic base of the south attracts more immigrants than the peripheral north, particularly those immigrants arriving in Canada after the Second World War who possess higher education and skills than earlier immigrants.

1. Ecology of pathogens
While most natural aquatic microbial communities are beneficial for human and aquatic life, aquatic environments also harbor opportunistic bacteria that are pathogenic for human or for marine life such as Legionella in freshwaters and Vibrio species in coastal areas. Their presence in these ecosystems can promote waterborne human infection or diseases and mortality of marine life with dramatic consequence to biological resources (aquaculture, fisheries, etc). A better understanding of the ecology of specific populations in the environment will help to predict their occurrence in aquatic ecosystems and help to propose actions to mitigate contamination. At the LBBM we have worked in this topic for over 10 years and studies involve investigating the factors controlling the occurrence of environmentally viable forms of Legionella and Vibrio involved in human and marine life diseases, especially their viability, diversity and activity, and virulence. Associated to these studies we developed analytical tools for the monitoring of cells occurring many times at low concentrations (rare events) in close collaboration with industry (i.e. EDF, VERI, BIOMERIEUX), as well as academic partners (Laboratory IMAGE at the UPVD).

Snow Film Fest NYC 2010
by Lauren Traub Teton of SnowboardSecrets.TV
Hey snowboarders, (skiers too),
If you've been waiting for the snowboard film festival season to start like I have, you are going to FLIP like I did when you hear this news. New York City is hosting a SNOW Film Festival. November 19 and 20 at the Tribeca Cinemas. Over 25 movies will be shown, with a non-stop party in the adjacent lounge space right in the Tribeca Cinemas. The ski clubhouse will have a bar, DJs, dancing, and likely a free liquor pour or two from the liquor sponsors.
We asked the event producer (and owner) Morgan Rae Berk how she was able to pull off this miraculous feat. We have put together a snowboard film party or two and we know what's involved. It turns out Morgan is also producer of the NY Surf Festival for the last three years. She says her friends in the snow industry were bothering her saying "why aren't you doing this for snow sports?" So she did and says the logistics are the same for putting on one movie or 21." It will be more highly attended because there's a collection of movies to curate, not just one movie" says Ms. Berk who is both a skier and snowboarder.
Athletes like Gretchen Bleiler, Grete Eliassen, Steve Jones from TGR and Tanner Hall are expected to be in attendance. The non-profit partner of the festival is Stoked Mentoring. They use action sports as a vehicle to mentor under-privileged youth and are happy if you want to volunteer at Stoked.org. Speaking of volunteering, you can help out at the festival and get to see some free movies.
Tickets go on sale November 5. You can get your tickets early starting November 1 using the presale code SFFriend10.
See the full festival lineup at http://www.snowfilmfestnyc.com/
Movies were submitted by the producers and 40% of them are movie premieres.
Here's what the fest will include.
· Three days of screenings of independent short and feature films, cult classics, and world premieres from established snow filmmakers
· Q&A Sessions with filmmakers and notable snow athletes
· Panel Discussions on topics such as travel, the snow filmmaking craft and environmental issues concerning the snow peaked mountains of the world
· Snow Art & Expo showcasing new winter action sport products
Partners of the Festival from the snow industry are Powder Magazine and Snowboarder Magazine. Also local brands like, EMS, Killington, and a general partnerships with Ski Bums and the Fordham University Ski Club.

1. 90% people believe God exists, but don't really know much about what God is like
- Many concepts of God come from pop culture and not from the Bible
- Many think they need to be good or do good things before God will accept them
- Many think God helps those who help themselves
2. Religious people represent God accurately
- Many have had bad church experiences and have a hard time believing in God because religious people have misrepresented God
- Some religious leaders teach their own ideas but claim God said it
- Many have never read the Bible
3. The Bible is full of errors and contradictions
- The Bible has been changed by men over the centuries (the telephone game)
- Is the Bible trustworthy/accurate?
- Check it out the facts for yourself… that's why God wrote a book
