After writing this blog for several years now, it has become a very personal and beautiful thing for me. Sometimes I write based on my experiences with caregivers or my training from a variety of colleagues and mentors, but I always write from my heart — often putting words to struggles and challenges not only because they may resonate with you, but because many times they live within me as well. Thank you for allowing this to be a place of freedom. Welcome back and warm greetings to each of you in this new year.
Last week a friend asked if I made any New Year's resolutions. The idea of a resolution, a goal or promise of action seems, at first, exhilarating and exciting — a new challenge with the possibility of a better me in the end, right? Yet, for 2012, I choose not to set any resolutions. And not because there isn't room for improvement, that's for certain.
As I see it, resolutions are simply thoughts, judgments or expectations that we place within ourselves. And caregivers seem to hold an abundance of expectations about what they should or shouldn't do, act, feel or be. Almost by nature, unrealistic expectations seem to invade the minds of caregivers. And when these expectations aren't met, the result is usually an assortment of negative feelings.
On the other hand, by not setting a resolution we can release expectations and dissolve the negative energy that often follows them. So, for this year, instead of making a resolution, I decided to infuse daily intention into my life. Maybe you'd like to consider this as well.
Intention has some of the qualities of an agenda or goal, but with a broader lens and deeper well. It's about living more by being than by doing. Living each day with intention is to depart from that mindless way of simply doing what we've always done. It's to have a clear vision or mindset toward a new and more positive way of being or feeling and then to think, act and (most importantly) to believe that this is how it will be, or even how it can be right now. Remember, your mind believes what you tell it.
What does this all mean in a practical sense? I might suggest that each day you find a peaceful place, maybe before anyone wakes up or while you're in the shower. Then ask yourself, "What is my intention today?" Perhaps it is to live with more patience and less anger. So for that day you choose to behave, move, and speak more softly, you're less reactive, you practice deep breathing.
Or, maybe your intention is to listen more to your inner voice and say no when you need to and yes when it feels right. Your intention might be a daily affirmation to yourself that you're a good person, doing the best you can no matter how others make you feel (you may need to say this to yourself repeatedly throughout the day). Your intention may be to simply find joy or gratitude in something that day.
More often than not, you'll find that your intentions really do shape the day. When we set an intention we have a way of channeling our mind and our thoughts away from the negative and into spaces where comfort, joy and purpose reside.
I love what Helene wrote in a recent comment. She said, "Goodbye to a hard, hard year ... but, 'it is what it is' ... and, welcome to new energy, new strength, new confidence and new mindsets to face all the next challenges. As I write these words ... I wonder if I believe them, but I will keep affirming them for comfort to myself and to others."
But like any new habit, living with intention will take a willingness and practice. The best part though — with each intention, you get a fresh start every day.

My husband has Parkinson's which has its own form of dementia. He gets restless in the evening and he sleeps about 70% of the day. If I can get him to go somewhere he is better but exhausted when we return home. He is much more confused in late afternoon and difficult to reason with, so I need more patience and understanding at that time. I am so glad he is at home and strive to keep him with me. He is very sweet when normal and usually a hug or kiss calms him, or talking about our family and what the kids are doing, etc.
I need to attend church but mostly I stay with him on Sunday's and watch golf, he was a good golfer and played 4 or 5 times a week. Still loves to watch.
This blog is great and my heart goes out to everyone , special people who want to take care of their loved ones❤
Thank you. I will start today trying to live with daily intentions.
It is so comforting to read all the loving comments. I have been looking for a support group and you all may just be it! There are so many people giving "good" advice when they have not been where you and I are. I do question if the medicines given to my husband are helping. He is taking Aricept 10mg and Exelon. He continues to haave memory issues, doesn't remember the chidren or grandchildren's names. He does continue to make me laugh; he talks to me, watches tv, talks to our son. I told him he puts all his imput into his blender and out comes a conversation which I don't have a clue what we are talking a bout. My mantra continues to be "do today, it is not tomorrow yet".
John, Thank you for sharing your story. How difficult it must be for you and your family. I found a link to a couple of articles that discuss the denial process of diagnosis and include ideas to approach. Best to you and your family as you walk this journey.
To Angela Lunde: I just stumbled across your blog -- I don't have anyone in my life, as yet, who has Alzheimer's. However, I must commend you for your heartfelt, soothing, and thought-provoking statements. Something tells me that you have an innate wisdom and kindness that must benefit all who know you and all for whom you care. You are a gifted individual and I will look for your comments more in the future. Best wishes for continued success.
Helen and I have been married 60 years. She turns 86 next month; I was 85 last month. My concern for her is that according to the posted markers, she shows symptyoms of dementia that are not yet severe enough for most folks to notice. Our two children - a daughter closeby and a son 100 miles away - are aware of the problem. Our daughter helps as much as she can by fairly regular weekend visits that help stimulate her mother. Our doctor has also been alerted, but has not yet given us a diagnosis or medication. Helen alos has high blood pressure but resists the doctor's prescried increasing medications. She says she had tried 30 of them all and reacted to them except for the one minor dosage of one she still takes. My question is: Should I tell Helen of our concerns for her dementia and refusing medical treatment and diagnosis.
I enjoyed Linda's comments about writing down clever and funny things her husband is coming up with and also that he can repeat the Lord's Prayer. My husband, 82, is the same! He also knows his multiplication tables! However, on Dec. 18, our lives changed when he finally injured his back during one of his falls and since then has been bedfast and incontinent - two weeks ago Hospice Care was provided - what a company of Angels! His Alz. is moderate in the later stages. I get very little sleep - he can't stand being incontinent and cannot walk or stand on his legs. He won't take "no" for an answer when I gently tell him it's okay - I've learned to be a nurse - I have all the supplies.....he becomes combative, even violent, trying to get out of the hospital bed - I've had to call the rescue squad twice to pick him up off the floor. I can fully understand his dilemma. In a way I can manage our daily life better since he's been bedfast - but it pains me to see him dependent on me for his bathroom needs - he was always so clean, courteous, and happy. He doesn't always know me. The nurses all love him - that helps!
To Angela and Caregivers,
I am writing some more information that may be of help to someone. My Husband's Psychiatrist ordered him to go to an 'Adult Day Care Center' for Socialization and structured Activities..He goes 3 days per week for 4 hours each day..To my astonishment, he loves it! He is high functioning,and loves to help others. The Center is structred and changes activiities every 30 minutes to keep them interested.
I used to drive him, but he himself requested that I let him go on the Metro Mobility Bus!
I had to request his Psychiatrist to fill in part of the form and I filled in the rest. When I received the Physician's part back, I forwarded both parts on to Metro Mobility for evaluation. It takes them about a month's time
before you receive their decision. You request pick-up times, and they will then let you know when they will start. It has been a God Send for me! Thy also give them a Hot Meal or whatever they like for Lunch.My Husband likes to be with more Men in attendance, so as the Volume of men increases on the other days, he hopes to also attend.
He is still capable of walking to his local Coffee shop and around the Neighbourhood.
I took all his Jackets to the local Tailor and had her sew on reflective material, front and back.Also put a list of all his Medications and Family Telephone Numbers in each Jacket.
I purchased a cell phone with large numbers for him. He does answer when I call him.I dont think he always would know how to make a call..Bye.
To Angela and all the Caregivers,
Thank you all for your comments.This is my first time writing.I have found all of your blogs helpful.I am 76,taking care of my 78 year old Husband who has progressive Dementia since around 2000.He has always had clinical depression,as long as I have known him.[We have been married for 47 years and it has not been easy.However that is what I signed up for when we took our marriage vows.] He would not admit this to his Doctor, who of course would not believe me. Eventually, when he was treated for Dementia in 2000, he finally was treated for Depression.He is on the usual medications plus high vitamin dosages as helpful by Dementia Studies.I try to live with intention, but some days are more difficult.He has a wonderful Psychiatrist now, who notified the DMV to give him a Driving test.He had a month to complete the Test and went about 8 times for the written test without passing, so his liciense was surrended. I told him I would take him as many times as he wanted to re-take the test but he seems to have accepted.'Still studies on and off but has not requested to go. He gave his car to one of the children who was having car problems, and I requested that they not return it. He does not appear to miss it.Anyone can order a person to be re-tested. All you have to do is go the DMV and fill in a special form.The DMV will send out the order.It makes it so much easier for you.
They do not say who ordered it. Hope this helps.
God Bless you all.
Both of my parents live with us. They are 87 and 93. My husband, who is retired cares for them during the day, and I take over at 5:30 when I return from work. They both have moderate dementia. I really enjoy this website. My question is this...how can my husband make more time for himself during the day?
finishing my previous message: Blessings on all who share their thoughts and experiences here. It helps everyone who is struggling as a caregiver. I am interested in that cancer diet from the U of NV School of Medicine.
Thank you again.
To all who post here, thank you! Angela, the idea of today's intention is wonderful and I've been doing that for several months already. My usual question in the morning is,
"What can we do today, Lord, that will make this a good day for us?" My husband is in the early stages of the later stage of Alz.His personality can change from minute to minute; for the most part he is docile.
He was on Aracept-I don't like that drug for the side effects.I don't believe it has been thoroughly tested even tho' it's been on the market for quite a few years.
He actually settled down after we took him off of it.He was on it for 4 years and his Alz. progressed even then.I agree with him on things he says that I know are not correct; I want to encourage him to converse, even incorrectly. I know that music calms him; when he has trouble going to sleep I sing to him, sometimes he even joins in (can't carry a tune in a bushel basket), but the fact that he remembers the words to "You Are My Sunshine" is as good for me as it is for him! When we pray before he goes to sleep, he remembers the Lord's Prayer word for word -amazing! I'm most grateful too, for the fact that he takes care of his bathroom needs without accidents and that is the best. I can deal with most everything else. "One day at a time and it is what it is" are the two favorite sayings are our house. He says some pretty cleverly funny things and I've started writing them down to share with our children. Bl
Thank You for making my day better!
Angela - haven't been on your blog for a long time - and seems whenever I come back I find your thoughts hit home to me - note to Nancy - how are you coping? Seems the stress while living with someone with (especially a spouse- my Dad & grandfather also died from Alzheimer's) AD is just as bad when they pass - I find myself going through the motions of living - like waiting to exhale! so - my intentions for today and everyday are to find JOY once again!
Angela, how about a fresh start every hour??? Thanks so much for this blog. I came on to read it, having just lost my temper and shouted at my husband. I felt the need to connect with others who are caretakers. My husband's dementia is progressing and we are slowly moving into a new phase, which is requiring more attention and help. I am in the process of cutting back on some of my outside activities for a while, partly to work at putting new routines and support in place. (Partly to take a good look at how I really want to be spending my time.) But my husband made a complaint to me about something which he has complained about for years and which I react to with annoyance every single time! The perfect opportunity for practicing patience and detachment! Instead of which I get annoyed and end up shouting. It's a hangover from a time past...both the complaint and my reaction to it. And the thing is, it is no longer really possible to have an argument with my husband. Sooo...time for this hour's fresh start!
Thanks Karen for your words of encouragement. It's easy to be fearful of the future. It has been one of the hardest things to have my mother not recognize me and continue to be a support to my 89 year old Father. How important to live in the moment, taking one day at a time, knowing that even in all this that our God is in control.
Dad is giving me the gift of learning to live in the moment. That's all he has.... I'm learning to just be in the moment with him. Not to correct him. He can be right every time at this stage of life. If he thinks he is at the airport, OK--we're at the airport. How will we get home? My husband is coming to pick us up. If he asks me what I am going to do today and I'm tempted to tell him that it is supper time and the day is almost over-- I give myself permission to say "I'm going to read a book today." I don't need to correct him--and I don't need to correct Mom when she can't remember how to be in the moment with him. That's the gift I choose to give her. My intention is to be supportive, whatever that looks like. To be a source of peace and love in their home. To invite God into every conversation I have with them.
After reading only 1 page of comments, my heart and prayers goes out to all of you. I was a caregiver for over 20 years. First my father then my mother then my husband. The only thing that got me through was humor!!If you can find 1 thing to laugh about each day it helps. sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself but bring laughter into your life! God Bless w3fh3w
On December 29, 2011, after 5 years of dealing with the progression of AD on my 83 year old father, we made the decision to admit Dad into a dementia unit at our local nursing home. The challenges and stress that plagued my mother day after day, hour after hour, even minute after minute took such a toll on her we were more concerned for her health then we were for my dad's.
It was the hardest decision we have ever made, but it has turned out to be okay for Dad. He was on medication for anxiety when he was living at home, that he no longer needs in the nursing home. It is hard for us to see him in this facility that parallels daycare for toddlers, but he seems content there and he is always happy to see us come. I believe he still knows who we are and enjoys having us there and we always leave him on a loving positive note, hoping we have just made his day! He seems to live only in the moment, and we are so blessed to have the opportunity to make that moment in time good for him.
More importantly, my mother can now resume her role as Dad's wife, she can visit him daily and just spend time with him and let him know she cares about him and loves him.
I know that our experience doesn't work for everyone, but if sharing a little of our story helps even one caregiver to look into other possibilities, it may be better for your loved one as well as yourself.
If you think your loved one should no longer be driving, you are probably right and shouldn't wait for another accident. (2 years ago is a long time in the progression of dementia). Some doctors will tell their patients to stop or write a "prescription" for them to take a driving test. My husband's doctors would not help. even after he totalled his car. This astonished me because I thought doctors were committed to saving lives. Apparently they thought it would hinder their relationship!! Driving involves multi-tasking: judgements on when to turn, how to avoid collisions or cyclists swerving into traffic. Following maps and directions to a new destination are almost impossible and the general confusion even in finding the address impairs judgement. I guaranteed that I'd drive my husband anywhere he wanted to go, whenever he asked and that took the edge off his deep disappointment. It was still hard to remain firm. Good luck
Hi Joe,
From my experience with my dad, it was the nurse from the hospital that told him he couldn't drive after his stroke. Yes, this was a very big shock to my dad and mum. Dad has never driven since, although there is no way now he could ever drive. He has dementia. So, maybe you could visit the doctor on your own first and speak to the doctor about your concern, and then go by his advice. If he recommends that your wife shouldn't drive maybe you could go to the doctor with her and allow the doctor to tell her, and see what happens from there.
Good luck, I know it would be traumatic to lose a drivers license. My mum especially was devastated because my parents lost their independence because my mum never drove.
Wishing you all the best.
My wife has not been the best driver and had an accident about 2 yrs ago. She's now looking for us to get her a car and drive again. She has been experiencing memory problems for about the last 3 yrs. I dont know if her memory is the reason she had the accident or not. I am really concerned about how good she will be able to drive. Any ideas on how I can can get her to give up this idea.
The insight in this blog is very helpful. I'm almost too tired to read today; but it does help. My husband is declining more everyday- his pets do help in so many ways- the cats are very calming and the dog requires that he get exercise and care for him somewhat. The holidays were very hard- I was not handling things as well as I thought and my ulcer from 30 years ago acted up. I like the idea of intention rather than goals that must be met..
Hi ...and yes I agree...when we say goodbye though to the tough, tough year, somehow we hope that a day on the calendar will somehow usher in a new, easier year. After taking care of several ill family members for over 7 years now, I can tell you that I do NOT ever try to go that route anymore. January 1 brings with it all the joy and all the challenges that were with you on December 31. After giving up every single material thing I have in order to stay at home and care for my dear brother who passed away at the early age of 43 and my Mother who is living in the horrid last stages of this cruel and awful disease, I can tell you that this new year has brought to me giving up my home, finding a new home for me and my Mom, having surgery and trying to find work despite still needing to care for my Mom from 6pm to 8am. While I have and still do every day, look for opportunities to grow, have joy, bring joy to others and remind myself that I have done and am still doing the best thing I can for my Mother, who deserves nothing less. As I am watching my "youth" fade away...it is more difficult to have hope for the future. the pain and resentment I feel for family members who look the other way with their millions of dollars and tell me "they must look after themselves" so they don't end up like we did. Who tell me that I "can't do this, shouldn't do this" and of course, THEY WON'T do this...that is really the pain I feel. My intention now is t
Thanks so much for this article and the comments made by fellow caregivers. I thought i'm the only one feeling all this loneliness and tiredness of caring our loved ones who have this kind of illness. I feel so guilty whenever I tell my 82 year old mother she better join dad up there if she spills over her food. Many times I cry for mixed emotions- self pity,guilt, etc. But still with God's grace, i manage to cope against all the odds. Kudos to us all.
Your comment about "lens" resonated with me. We may live each day with intention but we must adjust our lens. As an amateur photographer, I know that many variables influence our choice of lens. As a caregiver I know that changing my lens helps me put into perspective of what is really important at the moment and what is not. Choose what really matters and let go of what does not.
My intention is to find a way to make my 90-year-old mother have a belly laugh at least once a day. The good part is that I can share it with her!
I received a call from the nursing home and had to go in to sign what I guess is "end of life" paperwork. I have been a caregiver for my former stepdad for many years(though only part-time). He and my mom were married only 2 years but loved each other so much that they began dating each other 1 year after their divorce and have never stopped. Mom has AD and Vascular Dementia and lives at home with me. Bob has Vascular Dementia and has been in the nursing home for the past 2 years. When they get on the phone together sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Bob is more aware of things than mom and after 40 years of them being together her memory of him has faded.I know this has hurt him and he doesn't understand. He is getting ready to die and I have such mixed feelings. I saw him yesterday,held his hand and just let him guide the talk. I tried to calm any fears, reasure him and let him know how much mom and I truely love him. So for tonight, I look at this precious life(Bob),and I'm greatfull for the love,joy,and laughter that he has brought not only into my life but into my mother's life.
My wife is 90 years old and has been diagnosed
with Alzheimer about two years ago,I just wondered how long it lasts and how many stages
How can you know what we to read each day? You are right on target for me today...after 9 years my intention is that my spouse knows how much I love him, his dog loves him, and all of his family. May he be a peace even though it's so hard for me. This Holiday Season was unbelievable with pain and anxiety...his children who are in their 60's want $$$ from us and express it directly. Even though we have been married for 30 years, it's always blamed on me and I get the awful messages on my cell phone. I never thought I would put a stop on his son's calls to my cell phone but I have. His father never even uses the phone and doesn't know how to plus he is available on our landline. The daughter who lives 50 miles from us never helps us with anything but does call her father most mornings and that makes my husband very happy. He knows and told me to not speak or hear his son't voice...so only way to do this was to call the company and put a block on his phone number. What a relief it has been since we are not being upset with none sense and painful expressions directed at me. I feel they would just like me DEAD, and they will do their best at driving me crazy at this exhausting time with their father.
All 30 years I have done my best to please them...my mistake...$$$ has always been an issue...we cannot afford with all of our medical costs, etc. to give them money now. My husband doesn't even care or want to...this is normal today, isn't it?
January 12, 2012
This is my first time to post on this website. As I have read these articles from all the wonderful caregivers out there I had to take a few minutes to write to the gentleman that felt he may have to place his wife into a nursing home this year. My father is 83 years old and has been battling with AD for the past 4-5 years. My mother has been a tremendous caregiver and did keep my father at home for as long as she possibly could possibly care for him. My father has been in the nursing home for almost 2 years now. It was one of the hardest things we ever had to do and there are still those days that we wish we could take him home. My mother visits with my dad everyday. She is an amazing lady and truly exhibits the best in her caregiving role with dad being in the nursing home. The most important thing I would say on my mother's behalf is that it is so very important to take some time for you, as the care giver. I am not sure where this journey will take us, but am so thankful to have such wonderful parents.
I find most of the articles on this website to be helpful, but after a while you just get to a point where you want to scream because you are sitting there watching someone you love dearly die a little more each day.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. Your family member is still dying and the toll it is taking on you is almost more than you can bear.
I loved the article about living with intention each day. After teaching many years, I began to say a little prayer before I entered school each day. "Please help me be a positive force in the life of at least one student today." As I remember, I felt, and then I knew, that positive intention actually made me a more effective teacher. Now I will try to use this same idea in care-giving for my loving partner. I'm sure that positive intention will make each day better. Thanks for the reminder.
Another year, one day at a time. The hardest part of being a caregiver is knowing everyone is to busy to take over when I would like to see the outside world without worrying about, him,and I can only get that time is, if, some one is will to take the time to help with him.
Someone he is comfortable with. He is still at the stage where he thinks he doesn't need anyone but will allow certain members of the family to visit with him.That will never happen. I feel sad for him when I know these
people want to think,all is well. We did have the grandchildren here with their parent, and he wispered to me," I don't belong here." He meant 'too much noise,' although he loves these children as much as he can love.
A new year,yes and it's still one day at a time.
hi angela, most probable i will have to acommodate my wife marisol in a nursing home this 2012 since her condition has turned to a very a very difficoult one to attend at home.
i am having a very hard time just to think i have to leave her.do you have any hopefull words to help me accept this?how do i handle this....? thanks
On public radio today there was a segment on the army and resilience. The generals talked about how the army had to change what they were doing due to the length of the wars; Afghanistan now in its tenth year.
In this program there is a saying "hunt for happiness.". Of course, people have to see the big picture of the war, they have to go out and fight, kill people, take villages but, they also have to keep the perspective of their lives.
My life by no means is even remotely comparable to the bravery of our nations warriors. I don't mean that at all.
But this Alzheimer's thing is like a war. Every day there are challenges, battles, skirmishes and it, like Afghanistan, never ends. And if you could see to the end, it will end badly, and no one wins.
But what I want is to make it to the end and come home. Like a soldier, I have to fight every day, but I will "hunt for happiness" . I know it will not just drop on my head, I have to look, examine, mine for it. No one on this earth was put here to make me happy, no one applied for the job, or raised their hands to volunteer to make sure I was happy. It's on me. It has to be my mission, even though like the warriors, it is a long and winding road. And if I am going to make it out whole it will be battle by battle in order to survive the war.
I also want to leave 2011 in the past and get on with 2012.I want to take one day at a time at work and at home. My daughter that stays with her father while I am at work is going through some emotional problems of her own. All of this seems to fall on my shoulders. When I am home my husband has taking to shadowing me and wants hugs and kisses all the time. Well this is better than chasing him going out the door. But I worry about him and my daughter sometimes - I know she loves him and does her best to care for him. But when he tells me - not alwaying in words- that she cried all day - I am at a lost how to help her and my husband expects me to "fix" everything and doesn't understand why I can't. But Okay ONE DAY at a time- get through with one and wake up to a better one - I HOPE an PRAY I that can.
My friend has been on Namenda and Aricept for 4 years, he had been going downhill mostly, recently they took him off both drugs, his memory has greatly improved and he can carry on a conversation. We are amazed.Could this be that his drugs were wrong? He is a health care campus
Living intentionally - we all have that option, and as I deal with my mother in her final stage, I am reminded to value her life and mine. She is still with us for a reason, after being diagnosed in 2000. My family and I strive to carry on her legacy, remembering her zest and joy for life, but it is a day to day commitment. Sometimes we feed off each other to keep our daily intention in check. A good support system - in our case, four sisters who deeply care for mom - helps us get through the small details of the day that so often send the best of intentions out the window. There is more blessing in trying to live out a daily intention than never making the effort. If you feel alone as a caregiver, please reach out to someone who can listen to your daily intention - sharing it will hold you more accountable and will bless the other person.
I was diagnosed in November with Early Onset AD. Knowing that it is looming out there, never knowing when it is going to start rearing its ugly head is one of the hardest things I contend with. Trying to take each day as it comes and with the best intentions is good advice. Thank you
Thank you again! Living in the moment and "it is what it is" helps me so much!I've shared your thoughts with my caregiver's support group and they appreciate you too!
Replacing New Year's resolutions with daily intentions is an excellent idea and I'll certainly try it. After all, I've made the same resolution every year for more than a decade without much progress. Intention can hardly be worse!
I have helped a friend whose mate was diagnosed with dementia.She is on two medications and vitamins.They have helped some,but she forgets to eat and he can't always know if she has eaten-that makes a reversal.I love her,but can only do so much as a friend.
Your article this week really helped ME.
I look forward to them.Thanks
To Richardd: I feel that it does cause more stress when you correct a word. I've also learned not to correct him when he states a wrong memory, date or time. It just isn't that important.
Thank you for that beautiful message, Angela. My resolution was similar in that I want to take each moment of each day as it comes, dealing with the challenges and enjoying the blessings one by one. When my husband was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2007 my brother told me of an AA saying, "Just do the next right thing." That saying has released a huge burden from my shoulders. I don't have to worry about all that needs to be done for the entire day, week, or month but rather just the next right thing.
My mother was diagnosed with emphysema and COPD. Within a year they added Alzheimer's prompting a prescription for Namenda. I saw no improvement with this drug.
I started my mother on a diet I got from cancer researchers at the University of Nevada School of Medicine that starved the cancer.
I logically reasoned that there was a pathogen in my mother's lungs left over from smoking that continued proliferating even though she had quit smoking.
I used the diet the cancer researchers used and she began improving. The diet was also used by Dr. Pescatore, M.D. in his 8 step cure for allergies and asthma.
My mother's osteopath eventually agreed to prescribe Fluconazole, a systemic anti-fungal medication.
This drug completed her recovery from emphysema and seemed to eliminate the dimentia. I had included a number of supplements over the 17 months that spanned her recovery period but after the Fluconazole she was standing upright and joking around with me. Prior to that she had been spaced out and unconnected.
I found that Dr. A. V. Constantini, M.D. from the World Health Organization stated that Alzheimer's Disease, along with many others, was due to a fungal infection.
Dr. Constantini stated that, "Fungal infections are the most overlooked medical problem in the world."
Is this a miracle or something the medical industry has overlooked since they do not get Clinical Mycology in medical school anymore.
When Dementia causes word difficulties such as saying the wrong word or not finding the right word and the caregiver is reasonably certain of the statement or question, is there really any point in correction. Does it simply cause the patient further distress??
That is a great way to think about the new year, I want to put all the ugliness of 2011 and alzheimers disease in the past, I want the new year to be better, and solutions to problems to happen for everyone affected by this disease, God Bless

Poorly made
"The shoe's heel is poorly made. I just received them and I noticed one of the heels was turning. Looks as if the heel is made out of plastic. The sole is very slippery as well. I wear 6 1/2 and these were too big. So the shoe does run long. As a result, I am returning them."

text: This Way Up directed by Alan Smith and Adam Foulkes (only a fragment I'm afraid) was commissioned for The Animation Show by the BBC and I saw it at the Bradford Animation Festival last Friday. It tells the tale of two hapless undertakers who undertake rather more than they planned. (Strap line: "Laying the dead to rest has never been so much trouble.") It has that sense of style about it that distinguishes the class act. One of a collection of talented individuals recruited by top London agency Nexus, Alan and Adam have achieved several major awards since leaving the Royal College of Art in 1997. The movie in question has commenced a long line of awards commencing with the Mundos Digitales Festival in Spain and taking in Ottawa where it won the Audience Public Prize for Best Short Film. Christopher O'Reilly worked with the pair on the script and as one of a number of producers. It is too easy, for lack of space, to miss out the actual animators so I'm not going to: Antoine Bourruel, Boris Lowinger, Dominic Griffiths, James Wilson, Mark Davies, Mélanie Climent, Reece Millidge, Roly Edwards, Steve Brown, and Stuart Doig. The guys' website and blog are worth a visit as is their employers.

With the region opener against Lehi coming up, the Emery High Spartan football team is going to use this bye week to work on and improve fundamentals of the sport. After losing to Canyon View at home 40-19, the Spartans traveled to Ogden and suffered their third loss of the season 27-13 to the Tigers.
Talking to a disappointed Coach Reynolds after the Ogden game, an obviously frustrating night to him, he said, "We are a good football team. We are much better than we showed in that second half of tonight's game. We tackled poorly, we blocked poorly, we need to work on the basics."
The Spartans started strong against the Tigers. After returning the opening kick-off to the 35 yard line, the Spartans marched down the field in only five plays to score on a 6-yard run by Spencer Cook. The big play of the series was a 48-yard Bowie Jeffs pass to Matt Stucki.
Ogden also scored on their opening series as their 15-play drive nearly consumed the entire quarter. A 3-yard pass and good extra point put the Tigers ahead 7-6.
Emery responded with a score on their very next series as Jeffs threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Bawden. Jeffs also had passes in the series to Stucki for 19-yards and Zeke Atwood for 20 yards. Ogden took back the lead just before halftime as they intercepted an Emery pass and scored two plays later.
Coach Reynolds was encouraged by the first half play of the team as boding well for the second half "After playing well the last two weeks after halftime, I really thought we had it. But tonight, we seemed to hit a wall. We looked like we were out of gas in that second half." After having 135 yards of offense in the first half, they added only 35 yards the second half.
Ogden, despite being smaller than Emery, outplayed the Spartans in that second half as they scored on two field goals and added a 98-yard punt return for a score.
A week earlier against the Canyon View Falcons, the Spartans again scored on their opening drive of the game to take the early lead. Jeffs scored on a 1-yard run. From that point on the game belonged to the Falcons. They scored on a 63-yard run, a 73-yard punt return, a 1-yard run and a 39-yard run to open up a 28-7 lead. Emery held Canyon View to only one second half score and scored twice themselves as Jeffs and Cook each got into the end zone.
With no game this week, the Spartans will use the extra time "to work on the game's fundamentals" according to Coach Reynolds. Emery will be back in action Sept 19 at Lehi.

Proposed construction of mine facilities in Rilda Canyon was the topic of discussion at the Emery County Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon held on Jan. 28 at the Museum of the San Rafael. Emery County Economic Director, Marlin Eldred welcomed the group and the speakers, Carl Pollastro from Interwest Mining and Chuck Semborski from Energy West. Pollastro is the director of technical services and project development for Interwest and Semborski is the manager of geology and environmental services for Energy West. Pollastro stated that they are going through the permitting process for the Rilda Canyon facilities.
Energy West isn't looking at expanding operations at the Deer Creek Mine, but maintaining what they already have as they develop the Mill Fork lease. Their main commitment is to PacifiCorp to supply quality fuel to the power plants since at least 60 percent of the power plant budget goes toward fuel cost. Electrical generation is vital to everyone and Deer Creek Mine plays a significant role in the fuel that produces that generation. Additional fuel requirements beyond Deer Creek production is purchased from individual contracts with other mining operations.
Pollastro described himself as a third generation coal miner and stated that coal mining has changed rapidly from the peaks in the late 1970s to early 1980s where small family owned mines turned into high volume longwall operations. In the 80s the mining industry employed approximately 6,000 people and now there are only 1,700-1,800 employees with five active mining companies and nine coal mines; this will decline to eight coal mines when Skyline Mine closes. Eighty-five percent of the coal mined in Utah is burned at the plants in Utah and western Nevada.
"In 1999, we were successful in obtaining the Mill Fork tract and we are currently working toward its development. We estimate 15 years of life in the Mill Fork tract. Four million ton of coal per year from Deer Creek Mine supplies Huntington Plant and supplements Hunter Plant. Three million ton per year is burned at Huntington Plant and 4.8 million at Hunter Plant," said Pollastro.
Pollastro described the current situation at Deer Creek Mine where they are beginning development into the Mill Fork tract. It will take 14 miles of underground travel to reach the farthest extent of the new lease. "In slow moving vehicles, at 20 m.p.h; men and materials will have to be transported as well as the coal being brought back out along the belt line to the Deer Creek portal. In order to split the travel time we are proposing portal facilities to include a ventilator fan, pump facilities, and a substation in North Rilda Canyon, also a bath house, storage, sediment control, warehouse facility, staging area and parking area. This will result in a 40 percent reduction of travel time," said Pollastro. The coal will still be brought out the Deer Creek portal along 12 miles of belt line. There is an estimated two year supply of coal left in the Deer Creek lease before moving longwall production in the Mill Fork lease.
Pollastro described the undertaking so far as a cooperative effort between the agencies and they have worked well with the BLM, UDOGM, USFS, SITLA, DWR, US Fish and Wildlife and various water users with holdings in Rilda Canyon. North Emery Water Users Special Service District, Emery County Commissioners, cattlemen associations, Castle Valley Special Service District, North Emery Water Users Special Service District, planning and zoning and the Emery County road department have all been involved.
Pollastro said they want to continue to provide services and be good citizens in the county.
Semborski commented on a question from the audience about the Cottonwood lease. He said they nominated the lease and have done all the needed baseline work including exploration drilling. He described the situation as being congested with complex rules and regulation requirements before any mining could take place.
Semborski said the development in Rilda Canyon will improve the access dramatically by using the northern canyons of the lease. Historic mining of Rilda Canyon took place in the 50s with four mines in the canyon over the years. The abandoned mine reclamation act of the 80s resulted in the reclamation of the old LeRoy mine which is the proposed setting for the new facilities.
Water concerns have always been concerns in Rilda Canyon which led to Energy West building a water treatment plant for North Emery Water Users Special Service District in the early 1990s near the Huntington Plant. They contributed $1.5 million to this project. Semborski said they are tied to the water company and have a 25 year commitment to maintain the water. The new Rilda facilities will be located just below the North Emery Springs, but special water mitigation stipulation with Castle Valley Conservancy District are also underway for protection of Little Bear Springs. The new facilities would constitute a total disturbance of approximately 10 acres with five acres already having been disturbed through prior mining operations at that site.
Semborski described the full reclamation project they were involved in with the Des-Bee-Dove mine operation which was completed in June of 2003. He said they will be returning to the reclamation site to hand plant 12,000 plants there as part of the reclamation project. The proposed Rilda facilities would also be fully reclaimed to the original setting when its usefulness was complete.
Semborski said all the production crews would utilize the Rilda facility. Seventy five percent of the traffic will enter at Rilda and 25 percent would still use the Deer Creek portal for maintenance of the belt and a shop facility.
The presenters were asked if Deer Creek would be adding any employees during this transitional time, but Pollastro said they will maintain their level at 340 employees. Pollastro said there are still some environmental issues to be addressed with the plans at Rilda and the agencies are tussling with the need for an environmental analysis or an environmental impact study. Pollastro said they like to talk about their plans and they want to make sure it becomes a reality so they can continue to provide employment here in the county.

It's still a short period, but there's been a notable pickup in the battered cyclical sectors of the market, part of it crammed into Thursday's session. Meanwhile, the 2013 leaders — health care, utilities and consumer staples — are recent laggards.
The S&P 500′s (SPY) materials sector, the year's second-worst performing group, enters Friday as the week's top gainer, rising 4.5%. Coming in second place was energy, the year's third-weakest sector, with a 3.2% gain. On Thursday, Materials Select Sector SPDR fund (XLB) jumped 1.1% to $39.46, a two-week high, though the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund (XLE) inched six cents higher to $77.31. (Figures reflect market prices on FactSet Research Systems.)
The run in the reputedly "staid" sectors has been remarkable. The S&P 500′s health care sector, the top 2013 performer, enters Friday up 19% on the year. The utility and consumer staples sectors are up 17%. The only sector in the top four with a reputation as a "cyclical" part of the market are consumer discretionary stocks, which are up 14.9% year to date.
Here's a two-year chart of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR fund (XLU). No wonder strategists are cautioning that it's time for "boring" to become boring again:
From MKM Partners derivatives strategist Jim Strugger this morning:
An ongoing theme for us has been the expected shift out along the risk curve as investors come to fully appreciate the sustainability of the fourmonth old low-volatility regime and its implications for equity markets.
From a sector perspective, this will be reflected by a rotation into cyclicals which have lagged so far this year (and for a multi-year period before that). But based on the precedent of the 1991 and 2003 regimes, we expect this transition to occur in the coming months and be firmly in place by year-end. The composition of the 3.3% rally in the S&P 500 Index since April 18 suggests it may be underway (note all data as of midday 4/25). Over that period, materials (+6.5%), financials (+5.2%), energy (+4.4%) and consumer discretionary (+3.9%) have led while telecom services (+1.3%), consumer staples (+1.3%), health care (+1.5%) and utilities (+2.2%) have taken up the rear. This epitomizes the sector performance that would generally be expected during a mid-recovery, pro-cyclical period, which we think this is.
The two sectors that particularly stand out as laggards are materials and energy, ranking 8th and 9th in performance so far this year and trailed only by technology. We think this means their recent gains may morph into sustained momentum and like adding June calls in the Market Vectors Oil Service ETF (OIH, $41.82) and the Materials Select Sector SPDR (XLB, $39.46).

The University Libraries prefer using links to online resources, including those for which it has licenses, to other reserve formats.
The University Libraries have developed the following specific interpretation of fair use which will be applied to submissions for class reserves. The libraries will:
Outside of these conditions, the University Libraries will pursue the necessary permissions to reproduce requested materials before placing them on reserve. The University Libraries will ordinarily pay all necessary royalties and fees to provide this service to faculty; however, some cost-sharing may be required due to budget limitation. If permission to copy is denied, the University Libraries will not post the materials. Where possible, the Libraries will assist faculty in finding alternative methods (such as print) to meet the need. All permissions are obtained through the nonprofit Copyright Clearance Center. For more information on CCC and copyright, see http://www.copyright.com/.
Processing time for reserve materials is generally within two working days, except during the first three weeks of the semester when processing may take three working days.
Loan Periods

Hmm it's been a long time since their mangas have started.
I hope the tards keep out of this thread, because this is a thread of progress not dominance.
In their respective beginnings oda was the best the art,the story, everything...and yet i have a feeling that there has been a shift in power recently. Don't get me wrong they are all great mangakas and their work is probably one of the best ever.
I started researching their art, work , plot and lines and noticed that the one who has made most progress and maturity was Kishimoto, also considering things Naruto's theme is the most darkest of all.
Kubo on the other hand his storyline has gotten retarded in an old greek way(meaning he is staling with the plot , this is an expresion), yet i still the character of Ichigo more than luffy or naruto.
Oda was always great, yet he is standing still on the top and with every chapter his manga seems so childlike, the characters are almost shalow caricatures(i mean the new ones)....yet the promise of a great ending keeps me going...
So in conclusion i want to hear your thoughts on all of them,which one of you think will be the best in the end....if this thread causes anything bad i then plea to the admins to immediately close it.

Service – It's What We Do!
March 11, 2010
At Metropolitan College of New York, our students are committed to using what they learn both inside and outside of the classroom to transform the world around them. That dedication to helping others has earned us a place on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest federal recognition a college can receive for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement.
MCNY students and faculty deserve all the credit. This honor goes to each person on this campus that identified a challenge, organized a group of committed individuals and worked to be part of the solution. Teaching kids, managing afterschool programs, helping patients on the road to recovery — our students did all this and more. We believe that service is how we will meet the challenges of our time, and we are proud that our students exhibited the leadership needed to make an impact on future direction of our nation.

San Lorenzo: No Coloccini deal
Newcastle's hopes of keeping hold of captain Fabricio Coloccini have received a major boost after Argentinian club San Lorenzo announced he will not be joining them.
- Related Content
Fabricio Coloccini
|0 (0)
Magpies officials have been locked in talks with Coloccini's representatives this week after the defender stated his desire to return to the club where his father, Osvaldo, is currently a youth coach.
However, on the day Newcastle unveiled new signing Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, seen by many as a potential replacement for Coloccini, San Lorenzo stated via their official Twitter feed that their move for the former Deportivo La Coruna centre-back was off.
The Argentinian club tweeted: "Finally, after long negotiations, we announce that Fabricio Coloccini will not join the roster of San Lorenzo.
"It is not possible to release the Newcastle player.. and therefore the club will look for another alternative to strengthen the defence."
Coloccini's future remains unclear given his desire, stated by his father, to return to Argentina for "personal reasons". Newcastle have refused to comment on the situation regarding Coloccini.
But boss Alan Pardew, whose transfer market frustration has significantly eased this week, must now hope he can at least persuade Coloccini to stay at St James's Park until the end of the season.
Former Montpellier captain Yanga-Mbiwa met his new team-mates for the first time today after completing his reported £6.7million move from the French club - with more compatriots set to follow.
Bordeaux striker Yoan Gouffran and Nancy defender Massadio Haidara are both poised to confirm deals, while a fourth French-based player, Moussa Sissoko, has also been strongly linked.
Yanga-Mbiwa, who conceded the club's current contingent of French players had helped him make the decision to move to the north-east, is excited by the prospect of linking up with Gouffran.
Yanga-Mbiwa said: "I played against him several times in the French League and is the sort of player who makes it very hard work for defenders.
"He runs deep to collect the ball and he gets forward and gives the chance to counter-attack. If he came to the club he would be very useful for us."
The 23-year-old Yanga-Mbiwa guided Montpellier to an unexpected Ligue 1 title last season and is keen to assert his influence to help the Magpies out of their current strife.
Yanga-Mbiwa said: "I will do everything I can to help team spirit and make sure we are acting as one from the first minute until the last.
"Last year at Montpellier nobody expected that we would win the league but we had the mentality and solidity to do it with a good team spirit.
"The Premier League is the biggest league in the world and one of those leagues that everybody watches. One of the reasons I came here was to find out how good I am and to fulfil one of my dreams."

Ignite Coals without Lighter Fluid
Save yourself an emergency trip to the store when you run out of charcoal lighter fluid: Ignite your coals with salad oil. Any vegetable oil will burn well enough to light charcoal (although none is as good as lighter fluid), so use the cheapest type of vegetable oil you have on hand.
The Chimney-Starter Lighting Method
For a quick, hot charcoal fire, use a chimney starter. This low-tech tool looks like an overgrown coffee can with a handle on the outside and a grillwork platform inside. To use a chimney starter, place a few pieces of crumpled newspaper under the starter, fill the top portion with charcoal, light the newspaper, and wait 10 to 15 minutes. The chimney generates a strong updraft that quickly turns briquettes into hot coals. Using tongs or an oven mitt, grab the handle and dump the coals into the grill. You're ready to cook.
You can make your own chimney starter from a 10-to-12-inch length of stovepipe. Use a hammer and a sharp spike (a large nail) to punch vent holes in the bottom 2 to 3 inches of the pipe. (You may need to brace the inside of the pipe with a chunk of wood as you punch these holes.) Using a smaller nail, punch holes at 1-inch intervals all the way around the pipe, just above the vent holes. Weave galvanized wire (available at any hardware store) through these holes to form a grid to hold the charcoal. (Caution: Since it has no handle, you'll need tongs or pliers to move the hot stovepipe.)
Reuse Old Charcoal
Don't throw out those partially burned charcoal briquettes. Grillmeister Michael Scherer of Louisville, Colorado, says, "Half-used charcoal lights easily and burns well." When you clean the ashes out of your grill, shake it aggressively to knock the loose bits and ash off the old briquettes. Then, using a pair of tongs, place them on top of the new briquettes before lighting. You'll save money, and the fire will heat up more quickly.

NEW: Indicted Miss. mayor hospitalized, loses primary
The indicted mayor of Mississippi's largest city was hospitalized just before losing his bid for re-election in a contentious Democratic primary.
Unofficial results show Jackson Mayor Frank Melton came in fourth Tuesday. He had to finish first or second to be in a runoff.
Melton's lawyer, John Reeves, says the 60-year-old first-term mayor was in the hospital but would not give his condition.
He did say, "we all hope and pray for his good health."
Melton had faced nine Democratic challengers in the city's primary. Next week, he faces a second trial on federal civil rights charges in a vigilante-style raid on a duplex he considered a crackhouse.
Harvey Johnson, the former mayor whom Melton unseated in 2005, and city council member Marshand Crisler advanced to a runoff.

High Peaks Hospice Pastor Charlie explains how religious services are an option for those receiving hospice care.
This video is part of my Borderless North Special Edition series on the life journey of an Adirondack couple and their special connection to High Peaks Hospice. I can never be sure where a story leads me but this one has left a special place in my heart.
The Adirondacks are full of amazing people who look out for each other. It's a privilege to highlight these folks in some small way. My hope is that by telling the story of Norman Briggs I'm able to make a human connection to High Peaks Hospice. The organization is often not thought about until they're needed. Maybe this series will inspire you to keep them in your consciousness and spread the word about the important work they do.
Please feel free to share your hospice experience and/or leave related comments on the web and social media outlets listed below. Healthy dialogue always puts a smile on my face. I'm fortunate to have the avenues to share it.
I want to thank Luella and Norman Briggs for allowing me into their Jay, NY home and sharing their story. I'm honored by the bond and friendship we've formed. I'll be back for donuts soon! As long as Pastor Charlie doesn't eat them all first!
This series is dedicated to my late stepmother Susan Corneau Clement who received care from High Peaks Hospice in her last days. The peace, dignity, and comfort given to her and my family during that trying time will never be forgotten. Thank you.

Get Your Clients' Locks Fall Fashion Ready!
by Alicia Ward on Monday, September 20, 2010
Time to transition to fall. Follow these tips to get your clients' locks ready for the fall fashion season!
As the heat starts to fad and cool nights begin to increase we all start to think about how to prepare for fall. With the changing of the seasons often comes the changing of our clients' hair colors. Veteran stylist Anna Craig of Trashy Roots Salon & Spa, has six tips to help your clients transition to the perfect fall look. Craig, Pravana Artistic Educator and DevaCurl Specialist, has more nine years of experience, and is extremely passionate about colors. She ensures if you follow her steps, your clients will be fall-ready in no time!
3 steps to getting your client's hair ready for fall color change
1. Deep Condition: Tell your clients to use a great deep conditioner a week prior to their dye appointment. You want to make sure their hair is strong and healthy. Make sure to tell them to do this around a week out—too close to their appointment will prohibit the color from fully penetrating.
2. Clarify: Talk to clients about clarifying. Ask them to clarify their hair to remove build up at least three days prior to their appointment. This will remove any access build up before their hair gets its new fall look.
3. Hydrate: Inform them to use a hydrating conditioner for one week prior to their appointment including after their clarifying treatment. Hydrating conditioners are a great wavy to lock in your clients moisture without coating the hair too thick to prevent color penetration.
3 Steps Color Change for Fall
Transitioning your clients' summer locks to fall is a slow and steady process that allows you to have control and create a gradual transformation that is completed correctly.
1. Add depth! Slowly start to add depth back into the client's hair via lowlights. Just an initial shading. You don't want to go too dark at first.
2. 5 weeks later add more depth by weaving in more dark pieces
3. 7 weeks later add additional depth. Majority of the time this will be the final step of the fall color transformation however, it may take additional time if you want you change to be even more gradual.

"The Not So Itsy Bitsy Spider..."
Is Not Available At This Time.
The Not So Itsy Bitsy Spider...
Please enter your comments below.
I think I've seen one like this
I may have seen this same spider hanging out on a rock at Akron Falls. I was so freaked out by the size of it, I had to take my camera and get a close up. It was like my fascination overrode the fear! Then I ran away....I could just envision the thing jumping at me and clinging to my face just like in the movies.....Argh!
so is this a relative of the brown recluse??
That thing could feed a family of five! If that big S-O-B is living in my house, it better be paying rent! Joe, NT
Hi, last week I had a similar problem in my basement. I totally lost it. Called my son at work, the first thing he said to me was, run. He's a funny guy. My son told me to take a picture of it but it had moved so I ran upstairs. One of his friends who was in the area got him, but unfortunately he was petrified so he killed it. I have a tarantula and had been okay with it, but this guy was maybe 2/3 the size of my tarantula. I bought him so I wouldn't be afraid of spiders but it didn't work
We have spiders much bigger than that in our basement and around our house. We have trap door spiders outside by our pond that are as big as a small mouse.
Looks possibly like a "dock spider"
They are in the area, also called fishingspiders. Under bridges, near water. It would be easier to identify if the legs were striped. (Dock spider). They get very big. A friend of mine in Huntsville Ontario used to get ther on his dock, my son kept asking him to catch one for him.
No more Tarantella dancing at weddings.
my wife and a spider
Tom before my wife and i moved our bedroom down stairs ,we used to sleep upstaies. Well this one night in the fall it was starting to get cold out . So my wife just got into bed when i hear her going to will u stop it and i said stop what, what r u talking about. So she said stop it again and with that flaped her hair and ear with her hand ,and we heard something hit the wall .Im not kidding u, we got out of bed and i turned on the light and this gray spider was the size of a half dpllar. OMG if u saw the dance she did i was lmao .She was slapping her face like it was still there , she ran down stairs and took a shower. I found it and took it outside. My wife sleeped on the couch. lol .Just thought i share that with you. edd kirchberger
Looks like a wood spider
Looks like an American Tarantula
That little critter is quite common in southern Arizona. The Native Americans out that way them "The spider that hides." They are solitary creatures and usually avoid humans.
OMG, you get two boxes of tissues, clap them together on either side of the spider as hard as you can, job done!! ---Signed, Miss Muffet ;-)))
A 'free rider' from past floral/garden purchases?
A lot of florist/gardening centers will import - from the typically much warmer South or other tropical areas -already lush, blooming flowers/plants, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these insects (giant ones at that!) are simply hitching a ride while thinking all it is doing is 'hiding'... thus the packagers of the flowers don't catch a glimpse of the critters.
They go well
If you deep fry them and put spaghetti sauce and cheese on them they;re tasty.
What area of WNY do you live?
Spider ID
This picture looks like a Wolf Spider. PS I was bitten by a recluse spider and the nurse recognized the bite as that of a recluse right away.
Shoot it!!!
It appears to be either a smaller dock spider, or a very large wolf spider. We have both here in central Ontario. I have seen very large Wolf Spiders about the dimensions that you have noted. I have also seen Dock Spiders this size and also twice as big. Dock spiders tend to hide in tight places such as between rocks, wood piles and other tight crevices. They are solitary creatures and favor the dark confinements of a tiny space. Wolf spiders are most commonly found in a web, usually low laying. The web also feature a funnel in which the spider hides while waiting for unsuspecting prey to get trapped in its web. From time to time, they do leave their web and wander to look for a more suitable location to build another web in favor of better hunting. They are hairy, fast, can jump a significant distance (not to be confused with a jumping spider) and can also be aggressive if threatened or provoked. They are also the smaller, northern cousin to the Tarantula. Bare in mind, that ALL spider are venomous! That is how they kill and eat their prey. The venom consists of both a neurotoxin to paralyze and kill its prey and a digestive enzyme to break the tissue of its prey down to a gelatinous pulp for easier digestion. Most spider venom is harmless to healthy human adults. The worst effect is a welt and some local pain eventually turning into an itch. The immune system does combat it. The Wolf Spider does have a more potent venom but still not lethal. The Black Widow (also sighted in Ontario, though not common) has a much more potent venom which can lead to nausea, local pain and flu like symptoms for several days, but can be lethal to a small child/infant or very elderly person (very much like that of an average Tarantula). The Brown Recluse has an odd venom. The neurotoxin is not much more potent than that of a Wolf Spider, but it has a far more potent digestive enzyme. This enzyme is so powerful that it continues to break down live tissue for days if not treated. In many cases, if left untreated, the damage to the tissue usually leads to amputation of the affected area.
Fishing spider
It has been mentioned already, but I'll say it again for good measure that it looks to be a fishing spider, family Pisauridae. More common in NY that most people realize since they are generally reclusive and shy. Completely harmless, nothing to bescared of. For what its worth, I'm an Entomologist.
Nice Paint Job
Try using blue tape on the molding next time you paint.
It looks deadly. I wonder how many more are in your house. You may want to fumagate!
It looks deadly!!. You may want to fumagate. When there's one ,there's always another.
That's Why
I had a run in with the same type of spider and size when I was a kid in WNY and ever since then I'm afraid of spiders. FYI I'm a 49 year old male and not afraid of much...they give me the willies...if I have to touch them. LOL If I saw that in my house I would not have killed it though. I would have caught it and kept it as a pet oddly enough and tried to make it bigger and would have loved to watch it and show it to others all while in a cage that no way it could get out or near me.
Gross. Looks fake, photo shopped.
Kill it
With fire
Holy Poop
That is one of the largest spiders I've ever seen! Nice Jobo
I saw one like this but a bit smaller....
I live in wny, a few miles away from lake ontario in wilson. I have seen two spiders exactly like this one, only not nearly as big... but still big enough for me to be scared and shocked.. i wish i knew how to link a picture... but does anyone know whaton earth these spiders are called and are they dangerous

Boys Keen Newports
"I have purchased several Keen Newport shoes as my boys have grown and the shoe long outlasts the boy. They are a very durable while attractive shoe. The sizing is accurate and the shoe's are awesome quality. This particular color "orange" is more of a bright orange that might not appeal to all boys as it looks kind of coral in certain lights. I imagine they will be dirty faster then anyone will care about the color."

Great purchase
"I was skeptical about buying this online without trying it on first, but it is a great shoe. It is very comfortable and looks better in person than in the pictures. It is a little bit too wide for me, but I have kind of narrow feet. More importantly, they are very comfortable! I am mostly on my feet at work and I can wear these shoes all day with no discomfort."

Cute, but not too comfy
"Very cute and good price shoes. This is my second week wearing them, and it still hurts to walk in them. I guess I need to give it few more days to get it worn in. It hurts walking in them for awhile..and my bunyons on my feet is getting bigger. They are a bit tight, too."

"I needed a dressy shoe for my suits for work. The heel is not to high. It's not too pointy where it hurts your toes. The insole is very cushiony so the balls of your feet don't hurt. I've worn these for 8 hours, and I stand all day. I want to get a backup pair because comfy heels are so hard to find!One thing, they fit perfect when I first got them, but now that I've broken them in, I wish I had bought 1/2 size smaller. Even with that, love this shoe."
