I personally felt that the documentary was mediocre at best. It was not represented fairly in many areas, why didn't they interview a disfellowshipped and refellowshipped guy, why didn't they include someone who was ex'ed and refellowshipped again? They made it out like we were horrible, yet on the other hand they did represent some things VERY WELL. Why didn't they call the "Authors" what they were, "Anti-Mormons" or "LDS Authors".
Some of the things were very accurate, and some of the things were fuzzy. Joseph Smith being called a man with a huge sexual appetite with many promiscuities. Why didn't they name those he had affairs with? It's the same old story with the "Anti's" as always, accusations without facts. Scale of 1-10, about a 3.5! Keith Wilson
I was inspired...As a mostly inactive member in the church, yet believing member. Somewhat focused on to much on controversy, would have liked to see all the positive. Mel Shepherd
I thought it shed some good light on the church, however, I also thought there was too much time given to that bitter woman who was excommunicated. no name
Considering the program: They left out the greatest proof of the Book of Mormon; the references to the "other sheep" found in John 10:16 and 3rd Nephi 15:21-24. As a missionary, we always showed these to people searching after the truth. Ryder C. Waring, Holladay, Utah
As an active member of the "Mormon" church my feelings after watching the 4 hour segment is one of disappointment and sadness mixed with anger. Mostly of what has been omitted - the goodness of most church members - the fact that our Heavenly Father thru Jesus Christ is directing his work here on the earth - that thru the priesthood members can be blessed from Him according to their needs and faith - that many senior couples are using their retirement time and funds to further this work and help people of all nations and religions without expecting anything in return; and in many countries without mentioning religion - the mention of General Conferences twice yearly that encourage all that is good and can strengthen our lives - the hard work of young elders was negative and did not report any wonderful results of their labors except leaving doubts about everything connected with our "restored" church and its beauty. Having dissidents expressing their own unhappiness with the church - temple recommends and leaving the feeling that acquiring one is expecting too much of a member. This documentary only made me feel that the scriptures stating that the last days will be full of good vs. evil has certainly arrived. Pat Dymock , Orem, Ut.
1. It was a dark presentation. Joseph spoke of light. The director didn't get it.
2. The 3 and 8 witnesses to the B of M were not mentioned. Why? Very important.
3. The Nauvoo Temple & the urgency those members felt to receive their endowments before the trek west, and the spiritual strength it gave them was not mentioned. No understanding!
4. The Mtn. Meadows Massacre was a terrible thing, but so was Haun's Mill. There is a great parallel therein, but no concern shown over the Missourians having to live with their atrocity. Only the Mormons. Why?
5. Pres. Hinckley stated "There is no such thing as a 'Fundamentalist Mormon'." The writers still used that term in the very next segment. My opinion is that more people will now believe polygamy is a part of the church. Note the response you had from Pat LoGiudice in the paper this morning.

Watsonville's Ocean Speedway gets three year renewalUPDATED 11:40 PM PDT Oct 22, 2013
The decision comes despite noise complaints and a lawsuit by neighborsVideo Transcript
TREND? AND OUR TOP STORY: HUNDREDS TURN OUT TO DEBATE THE FUTURE OF THE WATSONVILLE RACE TRACK... #### GOOD EVENING, I'M DAN GREEN AND I'M ERIN CLARK WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH THE FATE OF WATSONVILLE RACING HANGING IN THE BALANCE AS THE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS CONSIDERED WHETHER OR NOT TO RENEW OCEAN SPEEDWAY'S RACING CONTRACT. THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF NOISE COMPLAINTS FROM ANGRY NEIGHBORS.... AND WITH MORE ON WHAT THE THE FAIR BOARD DECIDED TO DO... HERE'S ACTION NEWS REPORTER TOM MILLER LIVE IN WATSONVILLE. WHEN IT COMES TO WHO WAS HERE FIRST THERE ISN'T MUCH ARGUMENT, THE RACETRACK HAS BEEN GOING FOR 50 YEARS. WELL BEFORE SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS POPPED UP AND THOSE WHO ARE HERE NOW MOVED IN. HOWEVER THERE'S NO QUESTION IT'S LOUD AND TONIGHT THE BOARD DECIDED THAT'S ISN'T WORTH STOPPING THE RACES. RACE NIGHT AT THE SPEEDWAY AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE TO KNOW THERE'S A RACE, ONLY NEARBY. PROBLEM IS LOTS OF HOMES ARE NEARBY, AND 30 TIMES A YEAR DECIBEL LEVELS ARE ALLOWED UP TO 95. ONLY QUIETING DOWN BY 10 AT NIGHT WHEN THEY'RE THEN LIMITED TO A STILL ROARING 75 DECIBELS. 9:48 For a neighbor to be able to have dinner in their house on a Friday night in a peaceful dinner or have company over or sit on their deck at night is not happening the races are just too loud. RANDY REPASS IS PART OF A COMMUNITY GROUP WORKING TO CHANGE THAT. THEY'RE CALLING FOR FEWER RACES, AN EARLIER CURFEW, AND LESS NOISE. 10:12 There are some very loud cars here, all we would like them to do is be a little quieter so we can live our life like we want to live it 10:18 BUT THERE IS OVERWHELMING SUPPORT TO KEEP THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. HUNDREDS IN THE LOCAL RACING COMMUNITY SHOWED UP AT THE FAIRGROUNDS BOARD MEETING SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF RENEWING OCEAN SPEEDWAY'S CONTRACT WITHOUT CHANGE. AMONG THEM IS BRENT KAEDING. 3:59 My dad raced here at the speedway, my uncle raced, I race at this time and both my sons race here 4:05 KAEDING ALSO OWNS AN AUTO PARTS SHOP THAT RELIES ON THE RACES, AND LIKE SO MANY HERE HE WANTS THINGS TO SAY THE WAY THEY ARE. FOR ITS PART SPEEDWAY MANAGEMENT SAYS IT'S DOING ALL IT CAN TO LIMIT THE NOISE. John Prentice - Ocean Speedway 6:13 We've tried putting up sound walls, 20 foot sound walls that were 30 feet long, 4 prototype mufflers 6:21 6:29 just everything possible that they have asked, we have explored 6:34 AFTER WEIGHING BOTH SIDE'S WORDS THE BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF THE SPEEDWAY RENEWING ITS CONTRACT AND GIVING RACES HERE THE GREEN FLAG FOR YEARS TO COME. SO WHAT EXACTLY GOT APPROVED... IT'S A THREE YEAR CONTRACT STARTING AT 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR AND GOING UP BY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS IN 2016. MIXED IN WITH ALL THIS IS A LAWSUIT FILED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP AGAINST OCEAN SPEEDWAY CLAIMING IT'S A NUISANCE.

Italy is almost the worst country to start with. But that makes it a nice challenge.
What is your winning strategy with Italy?
Italy is almost the worst country to start with. But that makes it a nice challenge.
What is your winning strategy with Italy?
closed as primarily opinion-based by doppelgreener, diego, bengoesboom, Andrew Vandever, link64 Jan 27 '15 at 23:07
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The Diplomacy Archive has a large number of strategies for Italy and all the other countries.
It also has some articles by Allan B. Calhamer (the inventor of Diplomacy).
Make sure EVERYONE knows that Italy is the weakest country, by reminding them of it constantly, both during the game and every time the subject of Diplomacy comes up in conversation generally. Hopefully this will lull them into a false sense of security, so that you can actually get somewhere with your beleaguered green armies. Certainly if anyone starts picking on you, you are entitled to complain loudly: "C'mon! Everyone knows that Italy doesn't stand a chance of winning this game! Stop hassling me!"
Of course, this meta-strategy can easily backfire: if you become just too annoying and whiny, people may start attacking you just in the hope of shutting you up! But generally I think it's perfectly reasonable, given the common knowledge that Italy is far from the strongest position in the game, to present yourself as an underdog and no real threat... until you've rallied your forces sufficiently to strike. It's all part of the fun of the game!
You absolutely need to have some dirt on Austria; it will be very difficult for Italy to do well in the face of a hostile Austria. Even if you join a coalition against Austria early on, you'll find that most of the SCs wind up falling into Turkish hands, rather than yours, leaving you with little better in the way of options.
I'm a big fan of the Lepanto opening:
Setting up a fall 1902 convoy into the heart of Turkey.
The main weakness is that this leaves your defenses entirely the responsibility of your northern army, and so requires that you use diplomacy to keep your neighbors from attacking you.
One winning strategy is to make an early alliance, preferably with Austria and then knock out Turkey and turn on France.
You'll probably have to backstab Austria at some point - certainly, I've never got to 18 without Trieste - but that's the usual backstab timing question.
Don't worry about "backstabbing" Austria. Try to follow the real life World War I strategy of making peace with France, and ally with Russia against Austria and Turkey. If necessary, let Turkey in the initial alliance against Austria, then convince Russia to side with you against Turkey, who would otherwise be stronger than Russia.
Trieste is HUGE for Italy. You will have a line of four connected supply centers (Naples, Rome, Venice, Trieste). Five, if you say that Tunis is "connected" by sea with the others (I'd call it 4 1/2).
If France won't make peace and Austria will, ally with England and/or Germany against France. Hopefully, you'll end up with Marseilles and Spain. But they aren't connect to homeland supply bases like Trieste, Serbia, etc. would be.
The other problem is that while Russia is a natural ally with you against Turkey, she isn't against England.
I am a big proponent of playing as Italy. Here's how I do it:
If you get both SC's, try to ally with Eng/Germ/Russ. If you fail to get allies, promise to vacate one and focus on the other. It is easier to ally with Austria than France in my opinion at this point, because it is harder for Austria to not care and attack you all out.
France can swing south and make it hurt. Ideally, you want to get a Fleet in to the English Channel by 1904! This way you own the EAST.
Do not ally with Turkey unless he becomes a land power, because his fleets are dangerous. Good luck!

Bowling Green's city commission will have an entirely new face in January. Challenger Elaine Walker took 62 percent of the vote to defeat incumbent Sandy Jones in what had become an intensely personal and heated campaign in the closing weeks.
Brian "Slim" Nash, Delane Simpson, Mark Alcott, and Dr. Brian Strow will comprise the new city commission, defeating incumbents Alan Palmer, Joe Denning and Dan Hall. Commissioner Jim Bullington did not run for reelection, but was credited by Walker for helping her win the mayor's race.
"What I heard was the people wanted a change, the people wanted someone they can trust, the people wanted someone who would take a broken city and turned it around," Walker said.
"It was not my victory, it was the victory of everyone who held a sign for me, who walked door to door, who gave their contributions to me, who talked to their friends. We did it, and I'm gonna listen to those folks," Walker said.
"I'm very proud of what we've done as a city commission for the past four years as mayor, and two as a commissioner, and I will always be proud of that," Jones said.
"I think the vast majority of the negativity in this campaign started with the print media, with the twisting and distorting of the facts, confusion in the public," Jones said.
Walker says she realizes that the new commission faces a learning curve but believes the city manager form of government in place will allow for a smooth transition, and Walker says she is "ready to learn."

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Does IQ Test Really Measure Intelligence?
Dec. 20, 2012 -- Single tests that measure intelligence quotient, or IQ, may become a thing of the past.
A new study of more than 100,000 participants suggests that there may be at least three distinct components of intelligence. So you could not give a single, unified score for all of them.
Researchers' understanding of the complexities of the human brain has evolved, and so too has the notion of IQ, what it really means, and how it is most accurately captured.
"There are multiple types of intelligence," says researcher Adam Hampshire, PhD. He is a psychologist at the Brain and Mind Institute Natural Sciences Centre in London, Ontario, Canada. "It is time to move on to using a more comprehensive set of tests that can measure separate scores for each type of intelligence."
Using Many IQ Tests
In the study, all participants were invited to take a series of 12 online tests that measure memory, reasoning, attention, and planning as well as information on the test takers' background and lifestyle. The entire test takes about 30 minutes to complete.
According to the findings, there are at least three components that affect overall performance on tests. These include short-term memory, reasoning, and verbal recall.
Lifestyle factors count, too. For example, gamers -- or people who play a lot of computer games -- score higher on tests of reasoning and short-term memory. Smokers do poorly on tests assessing short-term memory and vocabulary, while test takers who have anxiety don't do as well on short-term memory tests, the study shows.
What's more, the study suggests that each type of intelligence may have its basis in a different set of brain areas. Researchers used sophisticated brain scans called functional MRIs to map out these areas. "Potentially, we can measure a more comprehensive set of intelligences," each of which reflects the capacity of a different part of the brain, Hampshire says.
RIP IQ Test?
So should the IQ test that has provided bragging rights for so many be discontinued or discredited?
Not so fast, he says. "Some very valuable research has been carried out using classical IQ testing. However, IQ is a massive oversimplification of the spectrum of human cognitive ability."

I've been out of D&D for a long time, but getting involved in a new campaign, heavily weighted with undead. I'm playing a Paladin and the DM is allowing us choice of item. Not sure what to get considering the campaign type. He didn't indicate cost limits, and some person already received approval for Holy Composite Longbow+1 and Dwarven waraxe with bane (undead) and keen for examples. Thanks!

It depends whether you want to be a key damage dealer or not. (And how much $$ your DM is letting you have to equip.)
The Holy Avenger is a good choice that augments defense of the paladin and the entire party, so if you want to be a support/healer/defending type it's great.
If you want to deal damage, undead bane is great and cheap.
Holy actually isn't quite as good specifically against undead (and there are neutral undead, warning!) but if you're also going to be dealing with demons and devils and stuff has wider utility, and it bypasses "good" DR.
At mid to high levels most undead will be incorporeal and you will really, really need ghost touch. It's also nice and cheap. (You definitely want this on armor too)
Disruption is more useful at low levels. A DC 14 Will save is reasonably easy to make and it leaves you with zero damage enhancement. Better if you have lots of attacks (two weapon) or don't have good damage anyway and the chance of instakill is better (like a rogue with no damage bonus but high sneak attack).
So I'd tend to say "undead bane + ghost touch" for damage (+3 equiv), holy (+3 equiv) if your game isn't really going to be all about undead, and holy avenger if you can get away with it and want to be a support type.
If you're allowed the Magic Item Compendium and its glorious, glorious cheese, look at the Crystal of Screening (provides incorporeal touch protection), or Lifekeeping (protects against death effects).
In terms of weapons, there is a Divine Wrath weapon enchant that gives you +1d6 per point of CHA bonus at the cost of a turn undead attempt - your character style might dictate that fewer big punches are better than +2d6 on lots of punches. Ghost Strike probably isn't worth it. Sacred is a suboptimal mix of holy and undead bane, but you can put Sacred Burst atop it if it's your thing.
And truedeath crystals are a cheap way of getting an additional d6 of damage; their price doesn't up the "plusses cost" so if you're dealing with a high plus weapon, it's less expensive than adding more enchants and you can port it to later weapons you find that are "good but aren't ghost touch" for example.
If you're in the mood to be a traditionalist (and not at all cheesy), a (blunt weapon) of disruption is always fun.
If you want to be a paladin par-excellance, with a weapon that looks to be cheesy, a Holy Avenger is a good request.
On a more practical note, armor enchanted as per custom magic item rules with death ward is quite literally a life-saver at (Command word activated, unlimited uses per day, 4*7*1800=50400 gold, drop uses per day for a discount). As a paladin, you're at a severe disadvantage already, so a more powerful item is indicated. At the price point of Holy+1 (18000 gp), and browsing through Bunko's Bargain Basement we don't see a lot at that price point. Browsing through the forums, we find this ancient thread on the paladins. It suggests maybe a "Truedeath crystal" for your weapon and ghost ward armor.
Also take a look at the heroes of horror book and Libris Mortis for collections of interesting items. Complete Divine may have some relics of interest as well.
This answer can be more specific if you indicate what kind of build you're going for.
Here are a few useful items that a paladin could find helpful against undead
If you can purchase items from the Magic Item Compendium, then Deathstrike Bracers would be a good option, particularly for a rogue or anyone with a keen weapon:
Price: 5,000gp
See also the Undead Bane Weapon spell in the Spell Compendium (Cleric 4, Paladin 3). Duration is 1 hour/level and it can affect one weapon or 50 projectiles.
Useful items are wands of healing because having some of 'em not only keeps you and your mates quite safer, but also because healing spells involve positive energy, harmful for undead creatures.
A scarab of protection.1 It's in the SRD.
While not offensive, few other items provide protection from negative energy and death effects. Add in protection from energy drain and you've got a nice item. SR20 isn't terrible. Even if it's only useful against twelve attacks, it's still pretty cool. Maybe you could even up the number of attacks it is useful against by upping the price. Even my epic level ninja/fighter/assassin picked up one of these, and she wasn't even terribly interested in undead.

Ok, so here's what we know. Earlier today FoMoCo issues a press release tauting six states receiving a test fleet of new E85-fueled hybrid Escape SUV's (gallery below). On top of that news, but wholly unrelated, there appears to be some kind of a run in stocks of companies involved in E85 production today. We've also heard unconfirmed reports the ethanol lobby plans to open up a bigger office in Washington, DC. How can these seemingly unrelated things all be happening today? To explain, let's put it together into a handy math equation below the jump.
See, unlike some people, we learned basic math in school. We also learned how to get into fights, but whatevs — nobody's perfect.

Say that I have 2 qubits - 2 spin half fermions. my initial condition is $|00\rangle$ in the spin-wave function and some anti-symmetrical spacial wave function.
I'm wondering about what happens when applying a NOT gate. The Fermions total wave function still has to be inverted when swapping the particles. so does it mean that a NOT gate has to effect the spacial wave function?

Does Defense Even Matter Anymore?
DETROIT—In their quest to win the World Series, the Detroit Tigers are also conducting something of an experiment. It involves burly sluggers, inert infielders, aging outfielders and dominant pitchers. And it is testing a central question: In an era of soaring strikeout rates, just how bad can a championship defense be?
If the Tigers win it all this year—they're tied 1-1 with the Boston Red Sox heading into Tuesday's Game 3 of the American League Championship Series (Tue. 4 p.m., Fox)—they would be possibly the worst defensive team ever to win the World Series. Or at least in nearly a century.
The Tigers converted just 69.4% of batted balls into outs during the regular season, which ranked just 27th in the majors, according to Stats LLC. Since 1921, the earliest year for which such data is available, no team has ever won the World Series with a defensive efficiency as low as Detroit's.
Yet the Tigers allowed fewer runs this season than all but six teams. They won 93 games, and they need just three more wins to reach the World Series for the second straight year.
That is partly because, in sacrificing fielding for hitting ability, the Tigers wound up with baseball's second-highest scoring offense (after the Red Sox). But it is largely because they have found a simple remedy for a lumbering defense: Just don't let opponents put the ball in play.
The Tigers set a single-season major-league record by striking out 1,428 batters this year. As a result, they saw only 25.05 balls in play against them per game, the eighth-lowest rate in major-league history.
"When you have pitchers like we have, you're not on the field too long," said Tigers infield coach Rafael Belliard. "So it helps a lot with your defense, because when you're in the field too long, that's when you get in trouble."
At times, the biggest challenge for their fielders has been staying awake. During the first two games of the ALCS, the Red Sox struck out 32 times in 59 at-bats.
"Playing behind those guys, it's boring," Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter said. "I don't get any balls—the easy, can-of-corn fly ball, anything like that."
The Tigers' defense is a casualty they accepted while assembling one of baseball's most fearsome lineups. When they signed Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million contract before last season, they knew they were getting a formidable slugger and below-average first baseman. But as a result of that deal, they also moved Miguel Cabrera—another pre-eminent hitter and sluggish defender—from first base to third.
According to Baseball Info Solutions, Cabrera and Fielder have combined to cost the Tigers 31 runs this year relative to an average fielder. And they aren't the only holes: Even Hunter—a nine-time Gold Glove award winner, albeit one who's 37—cost them 10 runs.
The best the Tigers can say is they cut their number of errors to 76 in 2013 from 99 in 2012. "It's something that we've worked at, the routine plays," Belliard said.
Manager Jim Leyland also has prioritized offense in some of his lineup decisions, like starting Jhonny Peralta at shortstop and in left field in recent games over better defensive options.
"These perfect players that everybody thinks exists, there's not that many of them out there," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "So you can say, OK, when it comes down to it, do you want more defense at shortstop, do you want more offense or do you want the combination?"
Because their pitchers are so prolific at missing bats, the Tigers are able to choose the second option—more offense—while paying less of a price than would historically be expected.
The high strikeout totals aren't necessarily by design, but rather a byproduct of elite, power pitching. Opposing hitters whiffed at 10.7% of pitches thrown by the Tigers this year, according to the statistical website FanGraphs, the highest rate in the majors.
"We just have a whole team full of guys with great stuff," said Justin Verlander, who will start Game 3. "I think that's why you saw us set the strikeout record. It's not like we're going out there and competing for who strikes out the most guys. It just happens to go like that."
Still, strikeouts aren't just a luxury for the Tigers—they're a necessity. That was evident in the ninth inning of Game 2 on Sunday, when several Tigers defensive gaffes led to a maddening 6-5 series-tying loss.
First, Cabrera—who has been further slowed by injuries—couldn't reach a routine grounder by Jonny Gomes to third. Because of that, shortstop Jose Iglesias—who actually is a fine fielder—fielded the ball behind him and rushed the throw to first. The throw bounced by Fielder and into the stands, putting Gomes on second base.
Still with us? Fielder then failed to catch a foul pop-up near the stands by Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Given a second chance, Saltalamacchia won the game on a ground-ball single—which glanced off Iglesias's glove and into left field.
"We let one get away," Leyland said.
Just as the Tigers' slugging prowess comes at the cost of defense, their strikeout rate comes at the expense of efficiency. Tigers pitchers threw 3.93 pitches per plate appearance this year, the most in the majors. And while the excellence of their starters has made them highly durable in general, Anibal Sanchez lasted just six innings Saturday while striking out 12 batters and not allowing a hit.
Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones said the only alternative would be to try to pitch to contact more. That isn't a sound idea, given their defense. So if the Tigers need to sacrifice efficiency to keep the ball out of play, it is a trade-off they're happy to make.
"As long as we win the game," Jones said, "you're willing to trade off anything."

Quick question that I just can not seem to find an answer for. I am wondering whether or not when using Documents to Go on my iOS device (iPad 2), if I open a file in safari, will this app help safari render the .doc or .ppt, whatever office format, correctly. Currently it can open the file but it does display the information and equations that are present in the document.
Does anyone know if this is the case? I want to know before I go and buy the app and am disappointed in its functionality. If this application does not do what I am asking, does anyone know of an app that can do this?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

By ANGIE FENTON
Managing Editor
The Voice-Tribune
It started simply eight years ago.
"Mom would repeat things, she was forgetting things," said Kim Sanders of her mother, Mary Chapman.
"Then she stopped doing the things she loved," Sanders recalled.
An expert seamstress, Chapman stopped attending a local sewing circle and gave away her sewing machine. She showed little interest in activities she once enjoyed, like cooking.
"Thing just seemed, I don't know, not right," Sanders recalled.
Testing revealed what Sanders feared: Her mother was suffering from dementia most likely caused by Alzheimer's. (While the diagnosis of the disease can now be up to 90 percent accurate, according to the Alzheimer's Association, it can only be positively confirmed through autopsy.)
"Dad passed away in (2011) after…his third time with cancer," said Sanders, but up until just before his death, "his brain was probably better than hers."
Sanders and her husband quickly made the decision to allow her mother to stay in her home, go into an assisted living facility or move in with them. Chapman chose the latter.
Admittedly, "it's a different lifestyle," said Sanders. "When she first moved in, I had to help her shower and do everything."
The most heart-breaking moments came when Chapman would look at her daughter in despair and say, "Kim? Kim? I just don't know what to do."
So Sanders gave her things to do.
She put together a meticulous system to ensure her mother's medications were prepared for her each day and wrote lists so Chapman could figure out how to do simple tasks like make coffee in a one-step Keurig coffee brewer and work the microwave, and left a daily itinerary so Chapman would know what she could anticipate in the hours ahead.
Sanders labeled each drawer so her mother could locate her items with ease. And she spent time walking with her mother around the wooded grounds of her Crestwood home. They watched movies or often sat together in a sitting room and talked or read.
As time went on, Chapman began to get better, somewhat. So has Sanders, who didn't hesitate to take on the caretaker role for her parent but has found solace in a support group run by the Alzheimer's Association. "They're fantastic. They take the ones (like Chapman) with a memory problem in another room and you get to talk about … how guilty you feel, what little support there is."
There are still difficult moments. Among the hardest: the knowledge that there is no cure.
"(Chapman's current condition) won't last forever, I know that. You just never know how long," Sanders said. "Mom gets upset sometimes about how sorry she is that she has to be here (in Sanders' home). At times she understands she can't remember. Those are the rougher moments."
Those are also the moments when Sanders fears for her own son, "that I might be this way. I hate the thought of it. … I haven't been tested (for Alzheimer's). I should, but I don't even want to."
Most unexpected, however, have been the beautiful moments Sanders never anticipated. "Mom's memory has gotten worse, but she's improved her outlook … and we get to spend more time together laughing and going places than we might have otherwise."
Chapman has since rejoined the local sewing circle, preferring to stick to simpler tasks like tying knots as opposed to sewing, but the camaraderie gives her joy. "You get out with people and you have people to talk to and you know what's going on," she said during a recent interview.
Looking at her daughter, Chapman continued: "My daughter takes care of me. She takes care of me. She's a very good person," the 77-year-old said, smiling widely. "And she's a good cook."

CLEBURNE (January 10, 2013)—Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford pretended to be a hit man to snare a jail inmate who's now charged in a plot to have his estranged wife and her male friend killed.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office says nobody was actually hurt.
The inmate, Tab Johnson, 52, was held Thursday on two counts of solicitation of capital murder.
Johnson originally was arrested on charges of violating a protective order and stalking his spouse, who filed for divorce last year.
Johnson allegedly asked other inmates about carrying out some killings.
Lt. Tim Jones Alford portrayed a hit man in conversations and relayed instructions from Johnson.
Alford told WBAP Radio Thursday that he and Johnson spoke several times and the agreed price for the "hit" was $10,000.
Alford said the inmate couldn't believe it when the sheriff revealed himself as the supposed hit man.
Bond for Johnson totals $1.1 million for Johnson.
