President Obama has a pair of memorials on Friday.
At 9:30 a.m., Obama leads a moment of silence in honor of the 20 children and six adults who lost their lives a week ago at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Later Friday morning, the president speaks at a funeral service for Sen. Daniel Inouye, R-Hawaii, who passed away this week. Vice President Biden will also deliver remarks.
Hawaii is Obama's home state, and he served with Inouye for four years in the Senate.
Obama will also likely hold meetings on whatever the next steps are in the "fiscal cliff" debate, given Thursday's collapse of a plan advanced by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

|Invisible Children uses film, creativity and social action to end the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony's rebel war and restore LRA-affected communities in Central Africa to peace and prosperity.[2]
Invisible Children, Inc. is an organization founded in 2004 to increase awareness of the activities of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in Central Africa, and its leader, Joseph Kony. Specifically, the group seeks to put an end to the practices of the LRA which include abductions and abuse of children, and forcing them to serve as soldiers. To this end, Invisible Children urges the United States government to take military action in the central region of Africa. Invisible Children also operates as a charitable organization, soliciting donations and selling merchandise to raise money for its cause. The organization promotes its cause by dispensing films on the internet and presenting in high schools and colleges around the United States.
When the organization was founded, the LRA was active in Uganda. The rebel group left Uganda in 2006 and continues to operate in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, and South Sudan. Invisible Children advocated for the passing of the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act, a piece of legislation which led to the deployment of 100 combat-equipped, US soldiers to the region for the purpose of advising the local forces in tracking, and capturing, Joseph Kony. The United Nations Security Council met in November of that year to discuss the LRA. Internationally, journalists began to seek more information about the conditions in Central Africa at that time.
The group has received both praise and criticism for its methods. The organization's films have won several awards, while the group's use of funds, projection of facts, and support of the SPLA and the Ugandan Army have come into question as these two groups have been known to commit similar atrocities to those blamed on the LRA. In March 2012, Invisible Children began an internet video campaign called Kony 2012, the purpose being to promote the charity's 'Stop Kony' movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony internationally known in order to arrest him in 2012.[3]
In 1985, Ugandan dictator, Apolo Milton Obote (December 28, 1925 – October 10, 2005) was overthrown by his own military commanders. Although he was from the Lango ethnic group, the soldiers who made up his army were primarily from the Acholi region, in northern Uganda. He was replaced with Tito Okello (1914–1996), the president of Uganda who was Acholi. Okello was deposed in 1986 and the leader of the National Resistance Army, Yoweri Museveni became president, after questionable elections.[4] The Acholi were resistant to the authority of the new president who "launched a brutal search and destroy mission against former government soldiers throughout the north, which swept up many ordinary Acholi in its wake.[4]
Several resistance groups emerged and most were put down, but the LRA survived. In the early 2000s media attention was drawn to the region when thousands of children affected by the LRA activities, took refuge in Gulu, Uganda. The government of Uganda forced the Acholi into "what were effectively concentration camps".[5] These camps were overwhelmed with disease and the inhabitants were not able to continue farming.[4]
The attention the conditions in Uganda received revealed that over the previous 20 years the LRA was kidnapping children and using them as kadogo (child soldiers). This was a practice that the Museveni government had also used. In 2005, an arrest warrant was put out for Joseph Kony by the International Criminal Court "for crimes against humanity and war crimes".[4]
After failed peace negotiations with the Ugandan government in 2006, the LRA left Uganda retreating to southern Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic, where they continued to "wreak havoc".[4] In May 2010, President Barack Obama signed the "Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act". This law led to the deployment of U.S. Troops in the region in October, 2011. Shortly thereafter the United Nations Security Council met to discuss the LRA. Internationally, journalists set out to inform themselves about the conditions in the region.[5]
With the intent to film a documentary about the War in Darfur, college students, Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole traveled to Africa in 2003.[6] Russell had recently graduated from film school at the University of Southern California, and after witnessing gunmen shoot at the truck in front of him while driving in northern Uganda, he discovered Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army.[7] After the incident, the group decided instead to focus on the civil war affecting the region. After returning home to the United States, the group created a documentary entitled Invisible Children: The Rough Cut, which aims to expose the plight of child soldiers and night commuters of northern Uganda.[8] The film was originally shown to the group's friends and family, but eventually reached millions of people.[8] The three men believed that the world was unaware of the conditions in Uganda and the plight of the children they met there.
The young men set out on a mission to expose what they had witnessed in Uganda, showing screenings of their film at hundreds of high schools, colleges and churches throughout the United States.[9] In 2004 the group founded Invisible Children, Inc as a non-profit charitable organization.[6] They solicit donations and sell merchandize, such as bracelets, T-shirts and posters, to raise money for their cause.[10] The money they raise is used, in part, to produce awareness films, and for humanitarian aid to northern Uganda.[11]
In April 2007, the group organized an event called "Displace Me", in which 67,000 activists throughout the United States slept in the streets in makeshift cardboard villages, hoping to raise awareness about those displaced by the Ugandan government.[12] Later in 2007, American rock band Fall Out Boy filmed a music video for the song "I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)" in Uganda after hearing of the organization's cause.[13] Fall Out Boy originally intended to create a documentary-style film, but decided to focus on a love story between two Ugandan children, opining that the treatment "seemed a lot more dangerous and compelling. I mean, have you ever seen a love story between Ugandan people — especially with a rock band — on 'TRL'?"[13] Invisible Children co-founder Bobby Bailey referred to the video as "groundbreaking".[13]
Although the LRA left Uganda in 2006 after failed peace negotiations with the government, in March 2012, Invisible Children, Inc. continued to create new awareness programs. In May 2010, President Barack Obama signed the "Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act". Invisible Children was one of the advocacy groups that influenced the passing of the bill.[11] Representatives of Invisible Children and other groups were present in the Oval Office when the President Barack Obama signed the law. The President told the people in attendance "We have seen your reporting, your websites, your blogs, and your video postcards—you have made the plight of the children visible to us all."[11]
In March 2012, Invisible Children began an internet video campaign called Kony 2012.[4] The premise of the campaign was to heighten awareness of the actions of Kony and the LRA in order to put further pressure on the U.S. government to intervene militarily in Central Africa. The campaign focused on "making Kony famous" in order to awaken people to his crimes and the pressure the government into military actions.[14] The production value of the film was praised and it was suggested that the methodology used would be a trend in activism in the future.[11] The video went viral, reaching more than 40 million views in three days after being tweeted by celebrities such as Rihanna, Oprah Winfrey, and Ryan Seacrest.[15] Immediately following the release and success of the internet films in the Kony 2012 program, criticism of the organization's activities and finances surfaced.[11]
In an article analyzing why the Obama administration sent U.S. troops to Central Africa in October, 2011, the Council on Foreign Relations (C.F.R.) criticized groups like Invisible Children for "manipulat[ing] facts for strategic purposes, exaggerating the scale of LRA abductions and murders".[5] Resolve, one of Invisible Children's partner organizations addressed the Council on Foreign Relations' accusation as a "serious charge...published with no accompanying substantiation."[16] Jedidiah Jenkins, the director of idea development for Invisible Children, asserted that the numbers of child abductions the charity uses "are often the same numbers as the ones used by Human Rights Watch and the United Nations".[17]
The C.F.R. article went on to say that organizations such as Invisible Children "rarely refer to the Ugandan atrocities or those of Sudan's People's Liberation Army."[5] These thoughts were echoed in the Huffington Post by Michael Deibert, author of Democratic Republic of Congo: Between Hope and Despair. Deibert further explained that the Ugandan government itself used child soldiers to gain power.[4] The Washington Post brought up criticism of the organization for its role in the passing of the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act. The law was designed to help bring peace and stability to the region, however, according to the article "Critics say it has strengthened the hand of the Ugandan president, whose security forces have a human rights abuse record of their own".[17] In response, Jenkins said, "If we had the purity to say we will not partner with anyone corrupt, we couldn't partner with anyone."[17]
The organization has been criticized for oversimplifying a complex and multi-faceted issue. Of major concern is that US troops are already deployed in an operation that should be secret. The attention that is being brought the region now may actually do harm. It is assumed that Joseph Kabila, the President of the Congo, would not respond favorably to foreign troops crossing his borders. For this reason, the attention that the Kony 2012 film is bringing could incite violence. "If you want to catch Kony, I can't think of a dumber thing to do,"[10] said Africa expert, Peter Pham. Following the release of the film Kony 2012, the group asserted that it hoped to explain the conflict in "an easily understandable format", with CEO Ben Keesey adding that "There are few times where problems are black and white. There's lots of complicated stuff in the world, but Joseph Kony and what he's doing is black and white."[18]
Scrutiny of the distribution of the organization's funds have also emerged, specifically due to information reported by charity watch group, Charity Navigator. Charity Navigator currently has Invisible Children rated three out of four stars overall (two out of four in the category of "financial" and four out of four in the category of "accountability and transparency").[19] Other critics claimed that the group spends most of the money they collect from their charity on staff salaries and "making films that attract much publicity, but don't do much to help people on the ground."[11] The organization responded to critiques of its spending by providing a breakdown of its finances on its website, which claimed that 80.46% of its money raised was spent on its "mission", with 16% going to administration and management costs.[10]
Another focus for criticism of the organization has been a photograph of the three founders holding weapons and posing with armed members of the SPLA.[20] Invisible Children responded on their website with founder Jason Russell explaining that it was a joke photo taken at the 2008 Juba Peace Talks in the Democratic Republic of Congo that would have been "funny to bring back to our friends and family".[21] Glenna Gordon, the photographer who took the picture, is not associated with the organization and was on assignment for the Associated Press at the time. Gordon explained the context of the photograph as the Invisible Children founders being bored at the stalled peace talks and deciding to have some fun posing with weapons and SPLA members. Gordon later published a story about what she saw as their questionable practices.[22]

"Wore these about three or four times to work. I work in a manufacturing facility's office so I figured they are cute enough for work and jelly/plastic so they would be easy to clean. That's the only good part. They make a squishy noise when I walk. I saw that a few people posted that the button on the bow bothered their toes. This was not so for me, however they constantly rub at the back of my ankles, which caused irritation and almost a blister had I not taken them off. I tried to add stick on heel liners but they kept sliding up when I walked, so that was a fail. After the fourth time I wore them, one of the bows started to come off, and by the end of the work day, it had. The other one started to come off as well, so I ripped it off to balance it out. Ha. Not worth making a trip to return for me but worth noting that these are probably the reasons they are on sale. Too bad."

Was misled by the reviews below.
"I'm usually a size 5 or 5.5 depending on the shoe style and brand. I ordered these a size 6 because there are no half sizes and because the reviews below said this shoe ran small - none of the DSWs near me carry this show in-store so I couldn't try them on in person. They DO NOT run small in the least. I've tried on size 6 shoes that haven't been too bad, but these were super big. My foot is also pretty wide and it was fine in that respect, but I had to send them back to get a size 5.These run true to size, if you're consistently a half size then sure - round up to be safe (or round down if you have a narrow foot, just a warning). But I was disappointed at how misled I was by the reviews below. Good quality shoe though, these look like they're very durable and are going to last awhile."

Perfect boot
"I bought this pair of boots out of town and had to second guess myself because I had to think about shipping them home. But once I tried them on, I was sold! I have wide calves and being able to adjust the snaps and the zipper on the side is amazing! I bought them in gray and I always get tons of compliments when I wear them, even from guys (who we know don't pay much attention to shoes lol). They are very comfortable and I've worn them out shopping all day, to the movies, etc. with no problem. I love these!"

Must Have! Great Quality!
"I was looking for a pair of perfect black boots, perferably if I could wear them to a rock concert I plan to go to. These are the deal breaker! Very comfortable, versatile, and cute. The best part is that I can wear jeans or leggings with these boots even though my calves are quite muscular. (15.75" diameter at the largest part). If you like studs or the least bit rocker chic, go for it!"

"I bought these boots 3 weeks ago, love them and wear them everywhere. The price was great and the quality looked excellent, plus they are adjustable over calves, which is really hard to find. I haven't had any problems with water leaking in (I'm in a rainy state and puddles are really common!) and they're ridiculously comfy.However, I did notice today that the heel is starting to separate on one of the boots. After three weeks, this seems a bit early for this to be happening, so I'm a little disappointed about that. Other than that, however, I'm extremely satisfied with these boots and hope that with a little mending, they'll last me a long time!"

cute but order 2 sizes up

Not True to Size
"I agree with the previous reviewer, I wear an 8.5 and had to fit a size 10 for a comfortable fit. This review I'm posting is specifically for the Chinese Laundry ELISE CORKSCREW which I haven't seen available online as yet. My suggestion to DSW, is separate and apart from the reviews of shoppers, is to post maybe a one-liner suggestion to say that this style is true to size or go a half size up or one size down. That way, online shoppers wont have to rely on postings before purchasing an item or result in returning a purchase for an item that may not have been reviewed as yet. It may be easy to return but when you purchase an item to wear for an upcoming event you may not have much time or the size you need is out of stock."

Wrong Size?
"I must say...this shoe looks good online, but better upon arrival. The problem was the the size was waaay too small. I have purchased Chinese Laundry before without a problem in my normal size 7, but the shoe I got must have been a size 5. I returned these shoes and ordered an 8. I'll write another review to let you know if this was a mistake or just a really small shoe."

Most people don't give much thought to what's being shipped on the railroads in Emery County. But, Dana Pompetti from the Union Pacific railroad is responsible for railroad safety in not just Emery County but a big part of the west.
Pompetti addressed the Emery County Local Emergency Planning Committee on hazardous waste being shipped in tank cars.
Tank cars are enclosed. More than 85 percent of the hazardous materials shipped annually are shipped by rail.
Pompetti pointed out rail is much safer for the transportation of hazardous materials than truck.
The tanks are labeled so what's being shipped is easily identifiable.
Problems with hazardous materials being shipped by rail are very small. But, when a problem does occur the responder needs to have detailed information about what is in the tank.
The majority of the tank cars don't belong to the railroad but to the individual companies that are doing the shipping.
Tanks are sectioned into three types. Non or low pressure tank cars, general service tank cars, acid service; pressure tank cars and cryogenic tank cars.
A typical pressure tank car will transport hazardous materials including flammable, non-flammable and poison gases. These cars are typically top loading. Pressure tank cars may be insulated and/or thermally protected. Those without insulation and without jacketed thermal protection have at least the top two-thirds of the tank painted white.
You can tell if a tank is pressure or non-pressure by the fittings on top of the car. Most non-pressure tank cars have visible fittings or one or more expansion domes. Pressure tank cars typically have all fittings out of sight under a single protective housing on top of the tank.
Cryogenic liquid tank cars carry low pressure refrigerated liquids. Materials found in these tanks include nitrogen and oxygen.
Cryogenic liquid tank car tanks are of the tank within a tank syle. The combination of insulation and vacuum reduces heat transfer to the outside, allowing the cryogenic liquid to remain in a liquid state for only 30 days. The shipper tracks these shipments as they are time-sensitive.
Everything shipped on the railroad is accompanied by shipping papers. These papers detail exactly what is being shipped and where it originated as well as its destination. At the LEPC meeting it was determined supplies need to be kept in Green River for emergency purposes. In the case of a derailment or problem with the transporting of hazardous materials there needs to be clean-up materials readily available.

In just under two weeks, over 3,000 years of history – in the shape of 130 objects – has been installed at the Great North Museum: Hancock in Newcastle upon Tyne for the British Museum UK touring exhibition Pharaoh: King of Egypt. The objects span almost the entire extent of ancient Egyptian history, from an exquisite ebony label belonging to one of the very first rulers of Egypt to a monument depicting the Roman Emperor Tiberius as an Egyptian pharaoh.
The exhibition focuses on the kings of Egypt, but there is an incredibly diverse selection of objects, which presented a wide range of challenges in the installation. Among the objects is a tiny pendant of King Senusret II that transforms the hieroglyphs which spell out his name into a decorative piece, delicately crafted from gold and colourful semi-precious stones. To display this beautiful piece of jewellery and other small items, the museum assistants handcraft special mounts for each object.
The monumental objects presented the biggest technical challenges, a task for museum assistants Emily Taylor, Simon Prentice, and Emma Lunn. One of the most fascinating objects to install was the massive wooden statue of Ramses I, which would have stood guard protecting an inner chamber in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Towering two metres high, this massive statue has been skilfully conserved but is still fragile, and it was a slow and cautious operation to remove him from his enormous crate, condition check him, and slowly and carefully manoeuvre him into his case.
Ramses' new home in the exhibition space, designed and built by Tyne & Wear, evokes an Egyptian tomb and temple landscape to convey where many of the objects were found. The exhibition text, created in collaboration between British Museum curator Neal Spencer, Great North Museum manager Sarah Glynn, Tyne & Wear curator Gill Scott, and myself, uses these objects to tell both sides of the story of Egyptian kingship: the powerful image the kings wanted to show their subjects and the rest of the ancient world, and stories they might not have wanted you to hear, about civil wars, palace conspiracies, assassinations, foreign conquerors, and female kings.
On Saturday 16 July, the exhibition opens to the public. It has been an incredible experience working with such a great team and amazing ancient objects and I'm thrilled to think of how many more people will now have the chance to enjoy them.
British Museum Director, Neil McGregor spoke eloquently at the official opening of the importance of this exhibition and others like it in bringing the national collection to people around the UK. Although ancient Egyptian pharaohs preferred to safeguard their power by restricting access to their palaces, temples, and knowledge, this free exhibition will share their splendour through the British Museum collection with audiences all over the country.

Cigar Samplers are the best way to get introduced to a cigar. Most factory samplers have an assortment of their top selling brands as well as sizes. As a newbie to cigars we highly recommend trying out a factory sampler to get yourself acquainted to your favorite type of smoke. A good sampler will give you a range of sizes so you know if you like a quick thinner cigar like a corona size or something a little more meaty such as a Churchill - a fatter, longer cigar.
Once you get the size down the flavor will be next. A good selection will also have a variety of wrappers. There is a huge flavor difference between a Connecticut Shade wrapper and a Maduro Wrapper. Its' important to really hone in on what you really enjoy. Once you know what the right cigar and size cigar is for you, then your ready to step up to the plate and get a whole box to enjoy.
Our knowledgeable customer service staff is a phone call away if you need any further assistance in selecting the right cigar for you!

Uncomfortable but HOT!
"These are really great looking shoes, but they are really uncomfortable to walk/stand in. Also, the sequins on the toe and heal put pulls in panyhose. I would recommend these to wear if you're not planning on doing any walking. They're really dressy looking and go with plenty of my outfits."

"These shoes are beautiful and go well with any black lace outfit. However, they are satin covered with a layer of fishnet, so be careful they do not tear!"

Tom responded to the last posting on compassion by saying, "... as caregivers, we cannot give compassion for our loved one if we do not have it for ourselves first ... most of us do not know how to have compassion for ourselves. It is not something often taught in our culture.
"It may sound like we are feeling sorry for ourselves, or think that putting our own needs before our loved one is selfish. But, I think feeling sorry for ourselves is a different thing. It leads to feeling like we are victims and it leads to self-centeredness. It makes our world smaller. Whereas, when we truly have compassion for ourselves, it expands us and makes us more loving towards others, including our loved one."
This is beautifully articulated Tom, thank you.
Over the years, I've been with many caregivers and persons living with dementia and have felt their suffering. Adversity is part of each of our lives, yet what is vastly different is how people respond and how they choose to give meaning to a situation. This difference determines the quality of one's life.
Today, science is validating this. Neuroscience is discovering that the way in which we respond to or how we give meaning to a situation imprints a pathway in our brain.
When we respond to a situation or event as bad, unfair or hopeless, or if we tend to ruminate or react with irritability, chemical and electrical signals are sent to our brain and our mind becomes wired for this pattern of thinking.
Here's where it gets fascinating. We're learning that we can actually change our brain and rewire our neuropathways.
I recently attended a lecture by two of the world's leading experts in this area, Dr. Richard Davidson and Matthieu Ricard. Dr. Davidson is a professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is perhaps the foremost researcher in the world investigating the connection between meditation, mindfulness, and brain function.
Matthieu Ricard is a French biochemist turned Buddhist monk, sometimes referred to as the happiest man in the world. The two discussed their ground breaking work on how reconditioning the mind actually changes its structure and functioning.
One of Dr. Davidson's most valuable findings is that it's possible to condition our mind to experience more compassion, happiness and joy.
I'm sure most of us would agree that our well-being and happiness would be positively impacted if we could be more self-compassionate, accept things as they are and let go of all that brings us down.
But for many caregivers and persons living with dementia, it can feel like your situation makes this impossible to do, that you have no control and no choice in your personal well-being and happiness.
I agree that life brings with it devastating situations, and it's completely natural to have negative feelings and emotions and to perceive events as unjust or impossible.
What's critical is to recognize that self-compassion and greater happiness can occur alongside adversity and negative feelings.
So, as caregivers, is it possible to be happier even if nothing changes in your life? I believe it is, and it starts with a willingness to be with yourself as a loving companion to your own pain.
It starts with checking in with yourself each day by turning your attention inward and noticing the sensations and tension in your body, observing your thoughts, feelings and listening to your heart.
In order to change negative feelings, we first have to notice them. Jon Kabat-Zinn says that to be in relationship with what you're going through, to hold it, and, in some sense, to befriend it is where the healing lies.
Then, we are free to choose to take action in a different way then we have in the past. This is where we can recondition the mind for compassion and happiness.
As caregivers, we can choose acceptance, keeping in mind that accepting things as they are is not the same as liking or agreeing with them. We can choose forgiveness. Perhaps this means we let go of past regrets or the burden of trying to change a relative who is unsupportive.
You can't hold on to to a grievance and be happy. Resentment keeps us stuck in the past and is a decision to keep suffering. Maybe you choose gratitude. The miracle of gratitude is that it shifts our perception of our life. When we choose gratitude, we move out of the negative patterns of the mind and can be open to the gifts that already exist within us and around us.
Happiness is the organic state of our soul. Yet, by default, we all fall into negative patterns of thinking and happiness gets buried. But the research is compelling — with practice, we can pattern our brain for more happiness. If a mindfulness practice is something you'd like to explore more, I've listed a few of my favorite books below:

to agematters: Alzheimer desease is our life style system. Because we do all the things fast and faster. And the human, who need time, is not able to do this like we do. So we are doing and the human is not doing. In his brain the cells are working a little bit.
Or nothing. So the cells have not the biochemicals and go down. When the human with Alzheimer desaease do anything like he will and is doing, the cells become more biochemicals and connecting other cells. And so the human can do, but not like we are doing. He does like he can. We must have change our social life style. I wrote a book,Rediscover Recovery.
Alzheimer's disease is a group disorders involving the parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. Alzheimer's disease is becoming tragically common.
Alzheimer Clinic
A year ago my mom went to africa on a safari and now she is in an assisted living facility. I knew she was having memory issue but it seems like this AD is accelerating faster and faster. I'm her only child and my father passed away when i was a kid. I'm her only real support and care giver. I moved her near me and see her everyday. I watched my grandmother go down this AD battle and she suffered for years. I would visit her and all she would say was " I want to die" over and over, its haunted me for years. I have one good memory from visiting her at that time and that was; i looked at her and she had the deepest blue grey eyes and i kept saying I love you grandma, i love you and one time she stopped saying she wanted to die and she said I love you too. A few weeks later she passed. Now I'm watching my mom trying to fight a battle that can never be won. She did a great job raising me after my dad died and we were very close, and now I'm actually witnessing her drift farther and farther away and there is nothing I can do. I get so frustrated with everything from answering the same questions over and over my mom asks to the being hit up for money to donate to alz.org every other day via email. I walk on every AD walk they have and support the charity monetarily as well. Part of me thinks this will make a difference in my moms care but I know it won't. There is nothing i wont do for my mom and I try to stay positive when I'm with her. This whole thing sucks especially
I have a new dx of alzheimers at 53. I feel good, forget a bit here and there, but cant work as a nurse anymore. Whats a girl to do!!?
My husband was diagnosed at 53. After years of heartache and suffering the day to day, and sometimes hour to hour loss of my husband and best friend, I am completely drained and devoid of any physical or emotional strength. We have no children or family. Even though I am a spiritual person, I have at times considered ending my life. I find it difficult to believe that I am alone with this thought given the intense pain and loneliness that living with this disease produces. I have never posted on the internet before, but I needed so very much to release these thoughts. May God bless and give strength to all of you.
Well written Angela. Thank you.
Could not agree more! It works! Count our blessings.
Thank you Valerie for posting the adapted Serenity Prayer. It just fits doesn't it? My momma has AD and is now in the severe stages. She almost never recognizes me. Unfortunately she fell recently while she was living with me and broke her hip and was not able to recover her ability to walk. She is 80 and was physically able but not mentally able to understand she needed to walk again. I work full time and she was in adult daycare before her fall, now she is in a skilled nursing facility. This is the first time in my life I have ever blogged anything and I could go on & on about the journey my momma and I have been on with AD but I wanted to speak just about acceptance. She is at a place now with AD that there is no past and no future. In fact, all we have is the moment. I have had to stop trying to make her "better" thru activities, medicine, healthy routines, doctors, etc.I have had to accept that she will not get well. Accepting this has allowed me the freedom to be in the moment with her and to cherish them when they come. I see her every day and just wanted to share one of my most heartbreaking and precious moments. I went after work to see her as I always do and when I went into her room she was laying in the bed and she streched out her arms as I got closer and she said,"I love you beyond measure." At that moment she knew herself, she knew me and she knew us. We hugged we kissed and then she was gone again. I may have missed this as a moment
to Kathy: your mom must have not the remember for the old time. Your mom cannot let the old time before she see any thing in the yet time.
This is only a thing she likes it. Please find out this thing in the daily life. So your mom can see the reality life. The thing your mom have to held this in her hands. And then you speak only ofer this thing. So her brain will connect the other brain cells. And the biochemicals will work better. Please find out anything she likes and do the same every day. I wrote a book Rediscocer recovery. I am a caregiver for a long time.
If I try to live in the moment, it sometimes helps. My husband was diagnosed over 5 years ago with FTD and losing him a piece at a time is difficult. Trying not to think about what "could have been and what we could be doing together is harder." So having compassion for myself when I get inpatient and tired is difficult. If I celebrate the good times/moments, it helps.
It has been 12 years since my husband was diagnoised with AD at age 58. I believe acceptance is a process that takes time, I'm sure in the beginning of this journey that I was not very accepting but always looking for a way to either stop this horrible disease or to change my husbands actions. After many years and much prayer I have accepted that today is as good as it gets. It is heartbreaking and I can't say I have joy in my heart but I am grateful for all of the good years and for all the memories I have. I just wish he could share those memories with me. Pray for strength and know God does hear our prayers. God bless you all!
One year ago my mom was living alone about 40 minutes away from myself and my sisters. Today she is dependent on me mostly for so very many things. Her medical care and health do feel like a huge burden at times- we were not close in our relationship,which i think makes her mental decline even harder to take. Without a spiritual life I would have run away a long time ago...this has been one of the longest years of my life. Many thanks for this site and all who share.
This is underlining what I have discovered. People around me think I am so brave coping with my husband's Alzheimer's but I am not brave at all. I hope that NIck will feel love surrounding him and find some comfort.
As a carepartner, I understand. At one of the support meetings someone brought in the following adaptation to the Serenity Prayer. It helps me and maybe it will help someone else.
"Grant me the serenity
to accept the people
I cannot change.
The courage to change
the one I can,
And the wisdom
to know
it's me.
AS a caregiver, I am hurting so bad. It is so very hard on me. Please lord , please lord
As a Coach/Counselor for Family Caregivers ( Parkinson's, Stroke Survivors, PTSD spouses/partners,Autism and other chronic illnesses)I have been bringing the word "acceptance" into our Support Groups which allows the caregiver to once again show warmth and affection for the care recipient with the realization that the caregiver is not responsible for a miracle
medical solution. It's OK to enjoy their own life without guilt. And as I tell them so often "Place your 2 feet down on this earth, claim your space and rediscover yourself!
Thank you for including the caregivers in your articles.
A very good article.
Believe in God and yourself.
Positive thinking goes a long long way!
Each day is a new day with my mom - it does get very tiring anwering the same question over and over - this will not change - each day her memory goes a bit more - I know she will not change I need to and I have I sing to myself - out loud when I want to scream and say to my self God grant me...... - singing has helped me and sometimes it makes my mom laugh when I do it! Thanks to the Mayo Clinic for these emails and notes - it does help
I have been encouraged from the articles I read on this web site. Thank you. I am in my 4th year of caring for my husband who has AD. I am still grieving the gradual loss of my husband as the person I married. Making the adjustment from the wife role to one of a caregiver has been a heartbreaking process. I try to practice the attitude of gratitude daily but I sometimes wonder if the heartache and tears will ever stop. Learning to let go of things I once thought were important has helped me cope. This disease not only robs you of your loved one, but can slowly steel YOUR joy if you allow it too. My faith , family, and friends are an amazing support to me! You all hang in there! My prayers are with you.
I agree with Joy. I adapt everyday,depending on themood ofmy husband. At times,he appears to be his usual self.My son told me that I had made the irregular situation regular because the adapting happens daily. I agree that one's reaction to a situation can make the outcome different. But sometimes, it can be exhausting making different adjustments almost daily.
When I first BEGIN to feel powerless, I call on God to guide me...all day long. I am not alone. Some days are diamonds...some days are stones....I cherish the diamond days. Always try & find a reason to laugh...it really does help!!!
Reconditioning the mind is nothing new. Alcoholics Anonymous has been teaching how to do it for decades. Even more applicable for caregivers is the program of Al-Anon. Members learn how to find peace and happiness for themselves despite the things over which they have no control. All are welcome. When others talk about being powerless over alcohol, a caregiver can say or think "I am powerless over the disease of Alzheimers."
I dont try to change my wives dementia. All I can do is accept it. It gets very very hard on me. I am at wits end sometimes
I took care of a mother with dementia and am in my 7th year of caring for my husband who has dementia. For me, caring for a spouse is infinitely more heart wrenching than caring for a parent.
We are long distance care observers, as we can only see my father-in-law several times a year. I assist my parents ,who are ailing but without dementia.
Mindfulness takes a lifetime to learn and to practice. It is a path that has no end. It is to be used in conjunction with whatever else a person can find to make life easier as a care provider. It is however the practice I return to again and again. Acceptance. Sometimes I must return to it as soon as I have turned around. It is my way to a more peaceful existence and as a result to those around me.
The blogs and articles are very helpful. Thank you
I found this article is very clinical and condescending...especially using phrases like, "...felt their suffering." All of what you said and stated are far far easier said than done. Alzheimer is the gift that keeps taking not giving and is very very difficult on the caregiver especially after years and years of caregiving. I make attitude adjustments all day long in taking care of my husband (age 68) because he changes and his behavior changes daily and frequently. The caregiver becomes hollow and empty no matter how frequently one adjusts his/her attitude. Relaxation helps but we're humans not robots.
A change in attitude on my part toward my mother has made a huge difference in me. I realized that the only thing that can change in the equation of the relationship between us is me, and accepting what's going on with her rather than trying to change her has made it much easier for me to be with her and do things for her. It must be working, because people around me are commenting on how much more relaxed I am about the whole situation and how much the stress has been reduced.
Thanks so much for all of your recognition of our feelings, dedication of our time here on earth, and how difficult it is for us to focus on our own health and well being as caregivers. Lots of individuals just walk out of the situation, marriage, etc. We must be kinda special and stronger than we ever realize. HA! HA! HA!
You took us all to the meeting with you...now we can read and learn more. So glad you mentioned Dr. Amit Sood's book...I am looking forward and studying it now in preparation of taking his course at Mayo Rochester. We need you and Dr. Sood to give courses at all of the locations so we all can continue to be happy and healthy every day! Imagine...for us, what a wonderful vacation learning to love ourselves like we do our loved ones?
P.S. What faith is developing in me to even think of making the trip. And, I have to feel my husband will enjoy missing me for a few days.
Yes, it is a TRANSFORMATION just thinking about it. (You all know how much anxiety I have in taking a COURSE out of town, but it's for LOVE! Remember the song, "WE DID IT FOR LOVE"? This almost feels like the anxiety before our wedding 30 years ago.)

David Prudames, British Museum
This helmet is Iron Age (over 2,000 years old), and was found in Kent, in southern England, by a metal-detectorist in October 2012. It had been upturned and used to hold a human cremation – the first accompanied by a helmet to have been found in Britain. In fact only a handful of Iron Age helmets are known from Britain at all.
On the north-western edge of Europe, the mid-first century BC was a time of war, travel, communication, connections and change. Caesar was at war in Gaul (modern France) and mercenaries from Britain had travelled to join the fighting, so it's possible that the person who owned this helmet might have fought in Gaul – perhaps against the Romans, or even alongside them.
Before Gaul fell, Caesar would make his first expedition to Britain, landing on the shores of Kent not far from where this helmet was found. I find it quite appealing to imagine that the owner, or the people who placed it in the grave, may have lived through the beginning of the story of Roman Britain.
The 2011 Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and Treasure annual reports, launched on 3 December at the British Museum, make for a slightly mind-blowing round-up of finds made by members of the public last year. There were 97,509 unearthed in England and Wales last year, not to mention 970 cases of Treasure – that's gold and silver objects, and groups of coins from the same finds over 300 years old, as well as prehistoric base metal objects.
Such numbers give a very real sense that the ground beneath our feet is teeming with chapters in the story of its human occupation. Many of these chapters are being found and told thanks to the PAS, whose website – www.finds.org.uk – now includes 820,000 finds with nearly 400,000 images.
Invariably the finds are made – often while metal-detecting – and reported by members of the public, and this growing project is an incredible contribution to the archaeological record, with the potential to transform what we know about the past in England and Wales.
Here are some more of the amazing things discovered recently:
An iron sword pommel inlaid with gold foil plaques, four gold hoops (from the hilt of the sword), six small gold rivets (probably from the pommel or hilt), four silver collars and neck-rings, a silver arm-ring, a silver ring fragment, a silver penannular brooch, and 29 silver ingots.
Found in May 2012 on farmland in the Bedale area, North Yorkshire, some of the objects, which date to the late ninth to early tenth centuries, are decorated in late Anglo-Saxon style, or reflect Hiberno-Scandinavian forms and ornament.
A boar mount associated with Richard III
A copper-alloy mount in the form of a boar, found on the foreshore of the River Thames in London. Badges in the form of a boar were ordered for use at Richard III's coronation (in July 1485) and also for the investiture of his son, Edward, as Prince of Wales (in September). It is not certain what the mount from London came from, maybe a piece of furniture or used to decorate an item of leather once owned by a supporter of Richard III, or possibly even the king himself.
Altogether, 159 gold, Roman solidi coins dating to the late fourth to early fifth century AD, the second largest such hoard found in the UK.
The dating of the coins suggests their burial could have been associated with the turbulent separation of Britain from the Roman Empire in about AD 410. Gold solidi were extremely valuable coins and under Roman law couldn't be spent in everyday marketplace situations. They would have been used for large transactions such as buying land, or goods by the shipload, and were an especially handy source of portable wealth for travellers (in much the same way as gold sovereigns were to Britons abroad prior to traveller's cheques or internationally accessible bank accounts). Therefore it is likely that the ancient owners of these coins were very rich, typically Roman elite, merchants or soldiers receiving bulk pay.
The Bedale Hoard (Room 2) and the St Albans Hoard (Room 68) are on display at the British Museum from 4 December 2012.

Best Buy Yet!For a long time, i had seen my friends using the clipless curling iron and wanted to try it out. I have thick, wavy hair, so I was thinking about purchasing the 25mm Jose Eber iron, but just couldn't spend all that money on it. Folica always has great giveaways, and one day, I grabbed at getting 25% off my entire purchase! It was the best purchase I have ever made! There are tutorials online that you can watch, and my hair came out beautiful! I've gotten tons of compliments every time I wear my hair that way. Can't believe what a good buy it was! I would definately encourage everyone to get one.Aug 30, 2011JessicaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Thick or Coarse Hair

Aaahmazing. No JokesThis curling iron is amazing. I bought it with one of the 25 off $75 deal and it would have been really good value if I was living in the US there would be free shipping but shipping to Hong Kong was like 50 dollars which was really expensive but still worth it.
The curling iron is really great smooth quick curls finished in about 5 to 15 minutes depending on the style, it heats up super quick and you just wrap a strand of hair for about 2 seconds and it will curl already.
It gets real hot but just be careful, luckily it really doesn't burn your hair much.
buy it if you want a clip less iron.

My First Clipless IronI have never owned a clipless curling iron before, but like the wavy curl this 1" iron produces in my long thick hair. It's very lightweight and I like the swivel cord, but it's unfortunate it doesn't have a kick stand. It comes with a glove, which is good, but you still have to be careful how close to the iron you hold your hand. I haven't beev curling my hair for long, but you quickly get a hang of it without using the glove. I will say though that I was able to achieve comparable results by using my classic HotTools pink titatinum so not sure I really needed to invest in this one.Jul 14, 2011JessicaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

Very DisappointedI got caught by one of the guys at the mall, and he did my hair and of course it looked fabulous. He sold it to me for $125, and said he usually sells it for $250 (BS!). I got home and tried it on my long hair, and it was very difficult. Once it was done, I slept in it...just to test his theory that the curls will hold for 24 hours without hair spray. I woke up and they looked horrible! Ive continually tried to curl my hair, and the glove sticks to the hair around your curl, making it difficult to curl JUST the part of hair youre wrapping around the iron. Not only that, but the glove is NOT heat proof. Its a basic, one dollar gardening glove. Very disappointed in this, and the worst part is...all sales are final! UGH!Jul 9, 2011Katie / United States

Great For An Amateur Like Me!I have NEVER had any luck trying to figure out curling irons with clips. I'm not one of those girls that is naturally an expert at applying makeup and doing hair. I tend to just always blow dry and straighten my naturally frizzy/wavy hair without much changeup. I've always wished I had more creativity and artistry with doing my hair... and now, thanks to this curling iron, I do! If I can master the art of using this curling iron - anyone can. It's so easy! I used the heat proof glove at the beginning, but now that I have more experience curling my hair, I don't need to use it as long as I am very careful how I hold my hair and the iron. It would be very easy to accidently burn yourself using this device, so you have to be careful. However, I've been using it for months and haven't burned myself yet... knock on wood.
I got the largest barrel iron and it curls my long hair beautifully. I have thin, dry hair so the curls add a lot of body to my hair and look way better than just wearing it flat and straight. The usual compliment I get is strangers asking me if i just got my hair done at the salon. For an amateur like me, that's the ultimate compliment!
The iron heats quickly, is easy to use, and the curls really LAST even after a night of sleep on them. I can't recommend this product enough! It has really changed the way that I do my hair. Also, it's relatively quick to use. I can style my hair just as quick as if I was straightening it with a flat iron. It takes about 7 minutes to do my hair once it is dry.Jun 30, 2011AllisonHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Perfect Lasting Curls!I bought the largest sized barrel and get the most perfect loose curls! I always receive compliments on my hair when I use this iron. I prefer this over curling my hair with a straightener because there is truly a difference in the curl. It's tricky to use at first without burning yourself so the included glove is a life saver.Mar 28, 2011RachelHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

By Rex D. JonesHuntington
Dear Editor:
A vermin infested fire trap. The old flour mill that served Huntington residents for years has become an eye sore and a hazard to the local neighborhood, property values not included. Yes, this is sad for many but reality must surface. The structure in its current state is considered to be of little or no value. The current owner of the mill does not reside here in Huntington.
The following might be considered: The mill might be restored, meeting health and structural codes for about $500-750,000. Or, the property might be purchased for about $25,000 and the structure torn down saving selected lumber for sale or use. The property could then be cleaned up and resold or used. In either case the local property values might be restored and the hazards removed.
The disposition of this property has been an issue for some time and should be resolved soon. To help resolve this issue the Huntington City Council and/or Mayor should be notified as to your own interest in this property and its timely disposition. Further, this issue should be resolved at little to no expense to the City of Huntington.

Did You Know? Countdown to Mardi Gras (03/03)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Mardi Gras and
Fat Tuesday Celebrations
March 03 : 05 days till Mardi Gras
Did you know that historians differ about how exactly Mardi Gras was brought to the United States, but all agree it was due to French influence in the territory of Louisiana?
Some think the French explorer Sieur d'Ibervilled introduced Mardi Gras when he landed in what is today Louisiana in 1699. Others say that early French settlers to Louisiana introduced Mardi Gras to the Americas. While others argue that the first Mardi Gras was celebrated by French soldiers back in 1703, in the city of Mobile, Alabama. Either way, by the 1820s, Mardi Gras was firmly entrenched in New Orleans culture.
Celebrated throughout the Gulf Coast, Mardi Gras is practically synonymous with New Orleans. But you don't have to live in Creole Country to enjoy a good party. In fact, if you want to get in on the fun, just come join us for our Mardi Gras Ball! We will be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to Mardi Gras, March 08th!

"I expected this shoe to be a mustard color, but it is more like a brown mustard or a camel color. They are very comfy and beautiful, but I will be returning to go up a full size, since a half size up was still too narrow. Hope that will do the trick! My favorite feature is that the platform makes it feel like a 2 3/4" heel. Awesome!"

By PHIL FAUVERstaff writer
The Emery County Historical Society meeting was held at the Museum of the San Rafael. It was opened by Evelyn Huntsman by announcing the entertainment of Justan Potter and Brandon McCandless singing "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessings."
Dottie Grimes then introduced Allen Kent Powell the Senior Historian with the Utah State Historical Society and former resident of Huntington. Grimes said, "He has been instrumental in our obtaining an archives here in Emery County. He also started a pilot program designed to put archives in all counties of Utah. It is a real privilege that we have the archives here. Mr. Powell is an author who has written at least six books, some of which are about Emery County. He is responsible for the Utah Encyclopedia and Utah Trivia. He currently teaches history at Westminster College."
Powell went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Germany and has a great love for Germany.
Powell presented a program at the Emery County Historical Society about German prisoners of World War II living, working and dying in Utah.
Powell grew up in Huntington and after an Emery High School field trip, when he was a senior, one of the teachers mentioned as the bus passed through Salina, that is where the German prisoners of war were killed. From that comment, he became interested in the history of the German prisoners of war killed at Salina.
Powell said, "The story of German prisoners of war is one that I have found fascinating for many years. In 1963 when the movie The Great Escape came to the Capitol Theater in Huntington I was a junior.
"I was fascinated by the story of those soldiers that were captured of various nationalities, incarcerated in a camp in Germany and some of the prisoners carried out an escape. The 200 prisoners participating in the escape ended up getting 80 prisoners out. It was a fascinating story and a fascinating movie based on the true facts.
"When I went on a mission to Germany and was going house to house, on at least three or four occasions we met older men who had been prisoners of war in Utah.
"I was invited to investigate the story of German POWs in Utah by the University of Utah Press and was given a grant from the National Endowment For Humanities to spend three or four weeks in Germany collecting interviews and putting together information that ended up in the book Splinters of a Nation.
"Tonight we will start with the story of the shooting of German prisoners of war in Salina on July 8, 1945. At that time there were 250 German prisoners held at Salina to help harvest sugar beets and work in the sugar beet fields. They were housed in 43 tents. On the evening of July 8, about midnight one of the American guards opened fire with his machine gun from the guard tower, shooting through the tents. Nine of the prisoners died and 19 of them were wounded. I have slides of two of those men that were wounded who came back to the United States in 1988.
"Karl Oakrugar was shot in the foot. Herbert Barkoff was also shot in the foot. They were invited back to help participate in activities in Salt Lake. They then went to Salina and held a meeting there at the high school. About 500 people attended.
"During the Salina meeting Herbert spoke about what the experience meant to him, coming back after all those years to the place where he had been wounded. This was a very moving experience. I became good friends with both of these gentlemen. They had many stories to tell about harvesting sugar beets at Salina.
"Karl and Herbert visited the Fort Douglas Cemetery, where the nine POWs are buried. There is at Fort Douglas a monument to another group of German prisoners. These were individuals who passed away while they were incarcerated during World War I.
"The CCC building in Salina was the Prisoner of War Headquarters for Salina in 1945. These POW men were shipped up from Arizona. They had been taken prisoner in North Africa in 1943.
"Private Clarence Bertucci, the guard who shot into the prisoner tents was from New Orleans. He joined the Army in 1940. He had spent time in England, but never spent time on the actual battle front. There are several rumors as to why he did the shooting, similar to what has happened in Afghanistan recently.
"One rumor is that Bertucci had lost a brother fighting for the American forces in Europe and this was an act of revenge. Checking with his mother in New Orleans she said he does not have a brother. One of the prisoners of war, suggested that maybe the reason he did this, was because he didn't want to be shipped off to Japan to fight at the end of the war there. The story that still circulates in Salina is that he had been drinking and informed the waitress at Mom's Café, something exciting was going to happen that night.
"July 8, 1945 Private Clarence Bertucci shot into the 43 prisoner tents wounding 19 and killing 9. That was more than 10 percent of the prisoners of war that were incarcerated at the camp.
"In the end Bertucci was found to be insane and was incarcerated in an insane asylum in New York where he died in 1969.
"After the shooting, the wounded prisoners were taken to the four room hospital in Salina. There was not enough room in the hospital for all of them. Some of them were put on stretchers on the lawn and cared for there.
"When Mr. Barkoff from Germany visited Salina in 1988 he had one request. He wanted to visit the cemetery where the doctor and the nurse, that cared for him and the other prisoners, were buried. He at that time put flowers on their graves," Powell said.
This is another fascinating part of Utah History.
