I have been having so much fun playing with the medallions lately. I picked the Carnation Medallion for this one and I stamped on the Stardreams cardstock and embossing with Ebony Spark. Then I cut out the different layers. Then I added different glitters that matched each layer, Priceless Peacock, Dazzling Rose, Celestial and Fiery Fushia.
Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a great one!!

Presenting Branching Dialogue, a weekly, wordy and often worryingly pedantic discussion of video game genres, trends and err ... stuff I didn't think to put in this introductory line.
The game's difficulty (or supposed lack thereof) has also come under scrutiny, with some tough-guy gamers lamenting the Prince's newly found and quite convenient resistance to death. I don't wish to argue with the complaint ... but I do want to pluralize it. "This game is not difficult," and, "You can't die in this game," are two very different accusations, and one of them is more than a little unobservant of modern conventions.
I hate to break it to you guys, but death has been pushing up daisies for years.

David Cameron's taunt at Labour leader Ed Miliband: 'Alex Salmond's poodle'
DAVID CAMERON yesterday branded Ed Miliband "Alex Salmond's poodle" after the former SNP leader threatened to torpedo any minority Tory government.
Cameron blasted Miliband as 'Alex Salmond's poodle'
It came after Mr Salmond confirmed he would help the Labour leader into No 10 after the election regardless of whether they strike a power-sharing deal.
The ex-First Minister has already vowed to boot out a Conservative government by voting down its Queen's Speech.
Yesterday he also appeared to suggest his party would guarantee the survival of a minority Miliband administration without conditions.
This is despite previous "red lines" over scrapping of the Trident nuclear deterrent and an extra £180billion in public spending.
At the final Prime Minister's Questions before the election, Mr Cameron said Mr Salmond was holding Labour to "ransom".
He said voters must back the Tories if they wanted to avoid an "appalling hostage situation".
Mr Cameron accused Labour of preparing to give in to Mr Salmond's demands for "higher taxes, more borrowing, weaker defence, breaking up our Union" to get Mr Miliband into power.
Denying that his surprise announcement he would not serve a third term made him a "lame duck" Prime Minister, he gestured to the Labour leader and said: "Never mind talk of ducks, I'm looking at Alex Salmond's poodle."
Though Mr Miliband has rejected a formal coalition with the SNP, he has refused to rule out working with them on a confidence-and-supply or vote-by-vote basis.
I'm looking at Alex Salmond's poodle
The exchanges came as a new poll revealed that a Labour government propped up by the SNP is the worst possible outcome for most UK voters.
Six out of 10 (59 per cent) voters said they would be "dismayed" by a Labour-SNP alliance.
This compares with 54 per cent who said they did not want a Labour-LibDem coalition and 52 per cent dreading another Tory-LibDem coalition, according to YouGov.
The survey of 8,271 UK voters, including 633 Scots, suggests the SNP could be on course to take about half of former LibDem and Labour voters, and even a fifth of former Tory voters.
Mr Cameron told MPs: "As far as I can see, Alex Salmond has taken the entire Labour Party hostage and today we have got the ransom note. And the ransom note is very clear.
"It says higher borrowing, uncontrolled immigration, unfettered welfare, higher taxes and weaker defence.
"That's what is being demanded and the British people have only one way to say no to this appalling hostage situation – and that is to vote Conservative on May 7."
Meanwhile, in an interview with The Spectator magazine, Mr Salmond implied that he would not do anything to topple a Labour government.
Asked whether the SNP would vote to keep the Tories locked out of power and Mr Miliband in power even without a deal he replied: "Correct."
He added: "That is because I think the Miliband position, Labour's position, would be capable of sensible progressive amendment – with our progressive allies of course, Plaid Cymru and the Greens."

Xin Zhao Build Guide by True L33tage
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Xin Zhao Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
this is a quick guide and my first guide on how to play xin zhao. this may not suit your play style but, in my case it seems to work well compared to many other builds on this website. First of all, every match I play as xin zhao, i get overly told "omg ur a n00b xin is faceroll and op", and you know what, apart from the fact that every champion is op when played well and is fed, theyre right, he is pretty faceroll, but who cares; if he's so OP they should play him QQ.
The runes are pretty basic, ARP marks or crit if you like it better, personally i like the crit for early just for your harass to be that much more scary, but for the late, the ARP is so good, especially since i dont go for a black cleaver although you can change out the bloodthirter for the black cleaver and get the crit marks. the arp quints are always good though, and if not roll some health or crit or whatever you feel comfortable with.
with the items, its always nice to have that extra attack speed from the dagger to start of with just in case youre facing like two op laners like lets say morde and blitz, u can just gain ur hp back at the tower with ur passive and that extra attack speed. but generally, u should be winning you lane by lvl2 with ur charge and TTS combo which, depending on who ur laning against, should bring them below 1/2 total HP.
on your first trip back, pick up full boots and follow the guide from there. if your having trouble affording the giants belt, just start building the zeal and then start creeping like a boss. also, by the time you get to the PD (phantom dancer) i normally have trouble finding enough change to afford the cloak of agility, since its about that time in the game, unless ur fed which you should be ;)
when youre at the stage after your IE, and your deciding what to get next, dont feel the pressure of getting a bloodthirster, XZ excells with attack speed items and i feel that he need the life steal for the lane and team fight sustainability but go get some attack speed if you want.
for the final and defensive item, dont always get a GA, if they have a fed trynd or yi, rush a thornmail dont wait till the last item, get the magic resist or armour items you need when you need them.
farming xin is really easy, just remember early game, caster minions u attack once, let the turret attack then attack for the creep kill, this should be easy with ur dagger, hence getting it. mid game, grab red as much as possible, blue isnt as needed but very helpful, give that to a mage or support or if u have an amumu for example jungling.
u can also jungle xin. start at wraiths with 5 hp pots and a cloth armour (build it into a wrigglers then continue build shown), but only smite the big one, pick up ur "Q" TTS, and kill double golems, kill wraiths, kill wolves, kill blue, and kill small minions in enemy jungle if they dont have a jungler. recall, go grab blue, go gank. initiate ganks with ur E, followed by Q followed by ghost followed by W and if u have ult, initiate with it, since it is percentage damage or u can try last hitting with it you KS'er ;)
Pros / Cons
very tanky with sustained damage
with red some viable cc accompanying your OPness
can solo dragon past lvl10 with ease
doesnt need blue to jungle
nice AOE damage with ulti
great ganking if jungling (or even if not)
generally beastly!
hard to build a few items without being fed
jungling sustainability isnt to great
mid game ur damage, imo, dies down a bit
Alright guys, thanks for looking at my build for xin, its nothing crazy spectacular but i feel some of the other builds are a bit poor (although very in depth), i've played Xin for ages and he is really great. I HOPE YOU LIKED MY VERY FIRST VERY SIMPLE VERY EFFECTIVE GUIDE


text: This comprehensive synthesis of women's history from the 17th century to the present draws on the past four decades of scholarship in the field. The book's unique dual-chapter format pairs a narrative "episode" that vividly evokes a particular individual or event with a synthesis chapter that places each episode carefully within its broader historical context. This pairing of the concrete and specific with the general and historic creates a richly compelling reading experience.

Day 1: We will start our trip by picking you up from Kanombe International Airport in Kigali, Rwanda. Immediately, we will be headed north to pass the Ugandan border and reach Kisoro. Kisoro is a small town placed at the foot of the Mt. Muhavura, the tallest of the Virunga volcanoes. The town has a population of roughly thirty thousand and is considered an important trading hub between the three countries DR Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. Our first night will be spent in a lovely hotel here.
Day 2: After an early breakfast, you will get the chance to track the endangered mountain gorillas in Mgahinga National Park. Gorilla trekking can be an all day experience because the families move freely inside the park and have to be found by the trackers every day again.
Day 3: Today, you have the choice of either setting off for a hike and climb the top of Mt. Muhavura, or You can choose to track the golden monkeys in the bamboo forest. Golden monkey tracking as an activity is found in Mgahinga National Park, only. Lake Mutanda in the north offers a great way of enjoying the nature settings of the hilly Kigezi area. If time allows, we will go on a canoe trip and visit various islands together.
Day 4: After another night in Kisoro, and after sharing our most exciting stories about the last two days, we return to Kigali, Rwanda's capital city. The rest of the day is for you to explore this aspiring city and learn about the country's history. We will spend our last night at a hotel in the heart of Kigali. Depending on your time of departure on day five, we can travel south and go for a canopy walk 90 feet above the forest in Nyungwe Forest.
Day 5: Day five marks the last day of our journey. After breakfast, we take you to Kanombe International Airport to meet your flight schedule back home. If your flight is scheduled to leave in the evening, we can arrange to visit the genocide memorial and also Dian Fossey's grave.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NDS - ROM Hacking and Translations' started by NicoWilliams, Jan 16, 2013.
Are then any new OR fun ds pokemon hacks out there? im bored and want something to play
no. on the ds, all you get is: catch all pokemon in one game and here everyone got l100 legendaries even random trainers.
it may be a better idea to try another monster raising game like dragon quest monster joker 1/2 or devil survivor or digimon dusk/dawn
Nah, everyone's just biding their time. Believe me, significant progress has been made beyond "catching" and "trainers" for DS games; it's just that making a hack is VERY time consuming. The whole process of creating an extensive DS ROM hack has yet to be dumbed down so that even a script kiddie can do it.
The DS pkm hacking scene is tiny compared to the GBA scene. Slowly but surely, more hacks will come.
as long as they cant edit maps, pokemonhacks will be 99% of the same stuff i've been doing for the last 5 years. hunting every pokemon and battling trainers on steroids.
if they can't ASM hacking/programming skill, map hacking is so useless.
As far as I know, the GBA games are EXTREMELY easier to hack than the DS games.
I'm making a GBA hack myself But I really don't believe that there are any new hacks out there.. Except for Blaze Black / Volt White 2.
ha if u guys find any let me know
Look at Blaze Black 2 or Volt White 2, if you are looking for a B2/W2 hack that is way more challenging + has the ability to catch all Pokemon, plus more.
its pretty much the same hack that has been done for the ds games since ancient diamond and pearl times with a hand full of events slapped into it. and while not bad, they neither really give nor take from the experience
Well, I am playing the game right now; it's okay. But once again, GBA hacking is less complicated than hacking a DS game, but he was asking for DS Pokemon hacks, which I really haven't seen anywhere lately that are completely different. However, he could try Pokemon Aqua Sapphire, but by the looks of it, it hasn't been released yet.
I used to play some pokemon Hacks aka. mods for gba, some remakes from Gameboy color such as Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Blue,etc...Anyway, just wait for Aqua Sapphire, just like TraeGFX said...it will be epic
I will just leave this hack of the year remake here: http://wesleyfg.weebly.com/lightplatinum-nds.html
you're welcome
This was originally a rom hack of Pokemon Ruby for GBA, but the person who made it got his team back together and is remaking it over Pokemon HeartGold for NDS. It seems that the NDS hacking scene is improving greatly. Pokemon Light Platinum is no doubt one of the best GBA hacks and now they are remaking with even more stuff to experience on NDS.
Original GBA version:
i guess its still the same a year ago. the only finished hacks are difficulty and catching stuff, maybe with a textedit here or there.
while the tools might have evolved and the possibilities are greater by now, the projects that are still around will take a few more years, if they ever get finished at all
Pokemon Light Platinum on DS looks great based on the screenshots. And the features mentioned are somewhat different from other ds rom hacks. Let's just hope that they did figured out how to FULLY hack pokemon ds roms.
I've found a site where there are 4 completely new DS hacks for pkmn http://www.pokemoner.com/2015/05/pokemon-blaze-red.html?m=1. Just press on ds remake once you go to this site
There are Pokemon MAP Editor called Spiky's DS Map Editor for editing Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Black, White, Black 2 and White 2. Here the website!
I am not testing this one, which similar to Pokemon GBA Editor! Just for fun hacking Pokemon games!
Can anyone make Pokémon black or white rom hack with 6Gen Pokémon in it. P.S.put mega stones to mega evolve but if you can make it to evolve during battle

Nick Williams gets call up to add weight to back row
Ulster A have selected a side containing some notably experienced players for the season-opening friendly with their Connacht counterparts at Deramore (kick-off 5pm).
The team formerly known as the Ravens have opted to bring in some ballast up front with Nick Williams getting a start, and making up part of a pretty decent back row containing Robbie Diack and Clive Ross.
Also starting is prop Callum Black with Bronson Ross on the tight-head side. The team is skippered by Lewis Stevenson while Sam Arnold and Rory Scholes get run-outs in the backline.
There will also be some interest in how out-half and new Academy recruit Jonny McPhillips goes on his debut at this level and particularly so with no sign yet of frontline number 10 Ian Humprheys or his back-up Sam Windsor due to injuries.
Ulster A: R Lyttle; D Busby, S Arnold, M Best, R Scholes; J McPhillips, D Shanahan; C Black, J Andrew, B Ross, A O'Connor, L Stevenson (capt), R Diack, C Ross, N Williams.
Subs: J Murphy, R Murphy, K McCall, A Thompson, C Joyce, S Mulholland, P Rowley, A Magrath, K Joyce, A Kane

Via BostonBob at Jim Quinn's Burning Platform blog,
Wait til they get the Rift
Tried it the other day. Agree.
And all the Zerohedgers commenting negatively about this trend. On tablets or computers over the internet. Without ANY awareness of the irony of the situation.
This observation brought to you from the subdepartment of ironic irony of the department of redundancy department.
Feel free to post to Facebook!
The smartest thing to ever come out of Einstein's mouth?
Tesla's cock...
Einstein was a thief and a fraud.
Not a real (Einstein) quote folks..
Einstein was a thief and a fraud.
He was a Jewish Supremacist psychopath that stole the theory of relativity from a French physicist. History is written by the victors pal.
Right, Einstein stole special relativity from Lorentz like Lorentz stole electromagnetism from Maxwell..Good work detective, gold star!
Fantasy is the driving force to humans.
If wasn't for our yearning for significance, religious supernatural, and superiority fantasies humans would never had achieve the growth that we have.
The distractions we're witnessing, that blind us, ensure us that our self-destruction (by endless growth and progress on a finite planet) goes unmolested.
Because, the alternative would lead us to the painful reality that the greatest threat to us is our own specie.
And facing reality is the least attractive option of all.
The world inside the screen is better. It makes more sense, and is free of most of the conventions that have been built up in our world over time. One day we will be able to go into the screen, and the outside world will become less than a curiosity.
This is likely the reason we have never met alien species. Why explore this cold, uncaring universe with its vast stretches of absolute emptiness when you can explore one designed specifically for you to maximally satisfy your values?
Your statement is nonsense.

Shame on you.
That is truly idiotic, since it is an artificial world constructed by people in the real world. All is does is further alienate people from acquiring the skills to cope more effectively in the real world.
There aren't many humans around, but two million years of promoting the survival of man the savage is the driving force in society today. Psychopaths have been around as long as man has.
The modern technological world is primarily the result of pattern searching social intelligence being repurposed by the Autistic Spectrum brain to pattern searching in the physical world. You know, scientists, mathematicians, engineers.
And the greatest threat is from those who control or use other people as objects for survival. You know, those in control in governments.

At least you're consistent with the prevailed human stupidity that we humans, can fix it.
Your assumption is wrong. Besides, I don't consider you human.
Mankind can't evolve to human status fast enough to avoid the consequences of run until failure.
Meh. We will discover a new theory to supplant relativity. The establishment will suppress it (just like any good religion would) until suppression is no longer possible.
STFU. Horeshit. And Newton wasn't gay.
He based his Relativity Theory from Henry Poincaré.
I can concur with the photos in the thread... After being stamped in / out of 53 countries, the one common demoniator is the youth of all nations are so absorbed by their gadgets, they have become sheeple to the propaganda and cannot form an independent thought if their lives depended on it...
As for Mr HGR's post above, meh, let's see you come up with a theory such as special relativity... I thought not, so back to contemplating the fuzz in your navel...
On the positive side, the day government does something really stupid, they will all hear about it instantly and, assuming the right buttons are pressed, maybe they can be moved to make the change that is needed

Right on, Huge. I'm surprised they're still called the Lorentz Transformations. Even so, I have to respect that 'ole Stein remained a strict Cartesian (unlike today's preening purveyors of agitprop science), and that he never had a nice word to say for quantum mechanics.
Einstein's opposition to quantum mechanics was pathetic. Quantum mechanics is the most well-verified theory in science, with experimental measurements determined down to multiple decimal points of accuracy.
Einstein was championed by the U.S. WWII military establishment as the Great American Hope against the German physicists of that time, who actually developed and understood modern physics.
Only multiple digits? What happens if I need more, and they don't jive?
"It always bothered me that, according to the laws as we understand them today, it takes a computing machine an infinite number of logical operations to figure out what goes on in no matter how tiny a region of space, and no matter how tiny a region of time. How can all that be going on in that tiny space? Why should it take an infinite amount of logic to figure out what one tiny piece of space/time is going to do? So I have often made the hypothesis that ultimately physics will not require a mathematical statement, that in the end the machinery will be revealed, and the laws will turn out to be simple, like the chequer board with all its apparent complexities." - Richard Feynman
If someone like Feynman could stumble like this with the inseparable relationship between theory and mathematical modeling dominant in science today, then I'd say that it's still early in the game, and the fat lady ain't singing just yet. While QM's a fine canonical realization, the problem with standard forms is that they're not unique, and worse yet logically arbitrary. In other words, there are no standards except the ones we choose. So I'll keep an open mind when it comes to considering alternatives.
Thanks for the tip, though, about WW II American regard for German physics. I read something similar years ago about the German view in a book by Nick Cook. Apparently, the wartime Nazis felt likewise about "Jewish" physics, which was after all, QM!
zerohedgers posting over the interet, how about the size of the pie is infinitely, infinitely smaller and can't grow fast enough to grant the world a whopper-a-day standard of living. It take 70 years for an economy growing at 1% to double it's gdp, and all it would take is a quick flip of the cards for the US to be last on the list, honestly by the time the last starving soul gets internet and a big gulp computers will have more rights than humans.

Idiots - "Full of sound and fury signifying nothing" - to paraphrase Faulkner
Actually, this sort of thing is quite useful - to me, individually. Now at just a glance it's easy to tell who I can have a conversation with, without having to "make conversation" with all the others (the idiots with a thing in their hand, because they're already ignoring everyone and everything). As soon as chaos sets in and the satellites go down forever, every one of these people will be useless.

Apparently young people have a greater portion of their brain area's activity allocated to...are you ready for it...their thumbs! It is sad when I do try to text. I am finding the keyboard when most folks are hitting send!
If you use it, you get better at it, if you don't use it, you lose it. I wonder what gets lost while this area of competency grows?
Back in the day, everyone's memories were a lot bigger because you needed to remember a lot more shit. To survive. Being good at using these know-it-all doohickeys isn't a necessary portion of existence. If anything, it takes away from being closer to living in accord with nature.
What do you sacrifice?
- interpersonal interaction
- memory quality (putting crap in your head instead of useful knowledge)
- decorum and etiquette, decency
- interest in and knowledge of surroundings, the immediate atmosphere (is alertness a prized skill?)
The list goes on. Slaves to their phones.
I don't like cell phones. Life was much better when it was just land lines and people went outside to play.
It is already culturally taboo to ask someone to put away their phone so personal interaction can take precedence.
The other amusing thing is that out of all those people, not one of them noticed they were having their picture taken. I guess they were too busy thinking about something else.

text: Is there anything in the Bible that bothers you every time you read it? Something that makes you think that it must be an exaggerating, that can't be right, etc. Noah gives me no trouble. Jonah and the whale give me no problems. But every single time I read the story of Samson I think, Seriously? (Jdg 14:5 ESV) Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion came toward him roaring. (Jdg 14:6 ESV) Then the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him, and although he had nothing in his hand, he tore the lion in pieces as one tears a young goat. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done. (Jdg 14:7 ESV) Then he went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in Samson's eyes. (Jdg 14:8 ESV) After some days he returned to take her. And he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey. (Jdg 14:9 ESV) He scraped it out into his hands and went on, eating as he went. And he came to his father and mother and gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey from the carcass of the lion. Really? Bees went into the lion carcass and it was filled with honey? I know this shouldn't bother me since I suppose it's possible. (Jdg 15:3 ESV) And Samson said to them, "This time I shall be innocent in regard to the Philistines, when I do them harm." (Jdg 15:4 ESV) So Samson went and caught 300 foxes and took torches. And he turned them tail to tail and put a torch between each pair of tails. (Jdg 15:5 ESV) And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines and set fire to the stacked grain and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards. How long does it take to catch 300 foxes? Where did he keep them? I don't know... (Jdg 15:15 ESV) And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, and with it he struck 1,000 men. (Jdg 15:16 ESV) And Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey have I struck down a thousand men." A thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey... I realize that none of this is rational, but it still bothers me every time I read it. It's like the whole story seems false to me. Does anyone have this problem with any stories? What stories?

Our Virtues Assembly
Last Friday Room 4 had their assembly. Room 4's assembly was at 12pm. I saw some parents and I saw my aunty. My favourite part was when we were singing 'Just a Single Candle.' Also when I was reading my part. When I was in the Honest Disciple it was so so fun. I loved my assembly. I saw Viane's mum and his sister. I felt excited.

In a statement released to Sahara Weekly, Prophet Peculiar Hephzibah said, "I was shocked to see my picture posted everywhere online today, claiming that I predicted the death of T.B. Joshua amidst other supposed revelations for 2017.
I am crying out to the world to help me because I am NOT the person who said this. They used my picture but the false prophecy does not come from me. Someone used my picture and credited this fake prophecy to me.
I am shocked to see it! Let T.B. Joshua know that this is not from me and someone used my picture. The same thing will happen to the person who credited this fake prophecy to me – which I know nothing about.As he wishes a prophet of God, so it shall happen to him.
I implore all the news sites and blogs who published the fake prophecy – Naij.com, Daily Post, Pulse, Linda Ikeji and others I cannot mention – to help retract this story immediately. It's not from me although it is my picture.
I am shocked! If anyone can help me, please help me to reach T.B. Joshua – because I am ashamed to say I want to reach him with this lie credited to me. I know he is a prophet of God and God will reveal to him that I am not the one; they only used my picture.
This is my advice to bloggers – don't use any story you see on another website without confirming from the person concerned. If you cannot reach the person who sent the message, don't publish it – the person is faceless. Confirm everything before you publish it.
This is a case of 'Touch not My Anointed and do My Prophet no harm'. This is a curse!"

Day 1: We Arrive
At the train station the night before we had gathered. Friendly, inquisitive faces scanning the crowd as one after another we dragged, pushed or hoisted our luggage onto the baggage check scale to be weighed before being whisked onto carts that would feed them to the belly of the train.
"Are you with the Lotus Survival Foundation?" was the prevailing greeting passed along among the women, in tones hopeful, welcoming, curious.
All were here as guests of The Lotus Survival Foundation, a non-profit organization that was founded to provide education and access to resources meant to assist low-income, uninsured women who have been affected by, or are concerned about Breast Cancer. They were all attending for free at the heart of a groundbreaking event: the five-day inaugural healing "Mind, Body and Soul Retreat" in St. Petersburg, Florida, through funds provided by GSA International Incentives, corporate fundraising as well as individual fundraising.
The LSF was founded to provide support through education, mentor programs and group healing retreats to women suffering with breast cancer by Claudia Tovar de Aguirre a breast cancer survivor whose vision was to give back to others suffering with the disease through healing retreats whose focus would be the mind, body and soul, believing that all three elements are crucial to holistic health and well-being.
The LSF's website describes its healing retreats as being designed and conducted by breast cancer survivors "for women surviving with, or after breast cancer. During the retreats, in which women in "all stages are welcome to attend - from the newly diagnosed to women many years in remission", attendees focus on activities that replenish the mind, body and soul. They learn new strategies and helpful tips that will assist them in coping with everyday stress associated with managing their personal and professional lives. Through an open exchange of personal experiences and informative workshops, guests learn techniques to calm the soul and build an inner strength that will resonate within themselves and for others around them."
There were 30 of us heading for Tampa, FL from Raleigh, NC. At least, that was the departure point for most of us from Raleigh and a few from Tarboro, Durham, and Winston-Salem. When the Amtrak train deposited us in Tampa, a shuttle bus would take us to our final destination: The Beach House Suites by Don Cesar in St. Petersburg. Later on, we would be joined by others who had traveled from other far-flung places like Montana, Colorado, the Midwest, and even Ecuador and Spain.
The train rumbled out of the station at 9:13 p.m., snaking its way through the darkness, the low clattering of its wheels a steady undercurrent of its passage from one depot to the next, where other riders from other towns climbed aboard and claimed their seats among us. In between were long, monotonous stretches of fields, industrial yards, nameless bergs, and, as our journey drew us ever deeper south, into South Carolina, then Georgia, ancient trees draped with Spanish moss, a pale, ghostly veil in the moonlight. At times, peering out the window at the inky night sky, it almost seemed as if we were chasing the yellow, crescent-shaped moon, as it by turns hung back and disappeared behind a water tower, then as quickly raced ahead of us again like a nocturnal playmate, coaxing us into a game of celestial tag to pass the time as on we rode until dawn brought a bright, rosy sunrise. With it came blessed warmth to some who had spent a sleepless night shivering beneath borrowed blankets beneath unrelenting air conditioning vents that pumped chilly air overhead.
During the journey, a few of the guests shared their stories and their expectations for the retreat: "… good camaraderie within the group…", "fun and relaxation"; "[hopes to ] teach a class at an LSF retreat someday. Wants to know from other attendees what medical strides they would like to see made from cancer research. Also is eager to learn from their cancer experiences."
Perhaps the guest in the most delicate of conditions is one young woman (Mae S.) whose port that was put in during her breast cancer surgery in 2008 had broken off, gone through her heart and entered her lungs. Then, in 2009, "I started having problems in my chest. The chest pain was really bad. I couldn't lie down. So I went to the emergency room. Later I followed-up with my doctor. She told me I had nodules on my left lung. So I had a power flush put in in November 2010. I had chemo. They later told me I had stage 4 breast cancer in the right breast. Then I found out I had cancer on the brain. I had 2 wks of radiation that ended just last Monday."
When asked of her expectations for the retreat, she replied, "I'm excited to be here. I'm ready to learn, mostly about myself and other cancer survivors and how they handle going through their cancer, how they cope with everything. I know it had to be by the Grace of God for everybody, because without Him, they ain't never going to make it."
One guest who leads a Latina breast cancer support group hoped "…to connect with other survivors and learn about their survivorship as Latinas, because … several have died from her group and others' have metastasized. [Also…]In bringing her group she's hoping she can help them learn how to deal with their cancer.
Another stated her hope of finding someone here with her rare type of breast cancer, which was inflammatory breast cancer. She further hopes "to learn a lot about how to live with the side effects, in particular about the chemicals going into your body."
Another very friendly, enthusiastic, and thankful guest told of how she "wants to see how others cope with their radiation and chemo, wants to hear about 15- and 20-year survivors' stories. They give me hope."
One woman is a two-time cancer survivor. The first was 26 years ago (at age 18): a rare uterine-form of cancer called a hydatidiform mole; the other was breast cancer. She just finished treatments in Nov. 2010. It was discovered in March 2010. She's had chemo, a double mastectomy, lymph node removal, and radiation. She says she's "6 months in remission" because there is always a lingering anxiety as to whether any cancer still remains somewhere, undetected.
As for her expectations for the retreat? She doesn't have any. "I've learned it's more important to be present in the moment and let the experience evolve, just the way it's perfectly supposed to be."
A Latina breast cancer sufferer responded with this when asked about her expectations for the retreat. "I think the information on how to stay healthy long-term, wants to learn more about the exercises and relaxation techniques to help with the lasting effects of the surgery. Also the therapy of relating to other survivors so they can learn and share with each other from their experiences. Learning about how people overvcame the effects of their treatment and how their families coped with everything has helped her. She has 2 daughters who are young women and she wants to be up on everything and aware so she can involve and instruct them to stay healthy."
Another guest had this to say about her expectations. "I hope to learn more about using my mind and not being so afraid. I know it's a hard attack when the doctor tells you that but I hope to be able to conquer my fear so that it doesn't conquer me. Since I've been going through my cancer, I've been less fearful of it and have developed a closer relationship with God. That has helped me overcome my fear of my cancer better than when my doctor first told me about it."
One guest offered that she was "… excited about the laughing yoga. Laughter is one of the things I most enjoy in life, so I'm excited about using something I already enjoy to improve my overall health."
"To guide breast cancer survivors to get the medical treatment they need, to overcome the language barrier so they can also receive the information they need to live positively, eat healthily, and receive the proper medical treatment and medications they need," is what yet another cancer survivor hoped to gain.
When at last we arrived at the Tampa station, we gathered our stowed luggage and were soon off again, this time in bright Florida sunlight, by the the Don Cesar Hotel & Resort shuttle bus for a 40-minute ride to our condos. At first sight of the pink castle by the sea that is the The Don Cesar Hotel & Resort's main facility, a chorus of oohs and aahhs of delight arose among the passengers, who dragged out their cameras to quickly capture the magnificent structure in all its glory for posterity. Although our lodgings would have full access to its premises and all its luxurious amenities, we would be staying two blocks away in The Beach House Suites by Don Cesar, a similarly pink tower of spacious condominiums, each with sweeping side views of the Gulf Coast and beach beyond the lushly landscaped pool and cabana bar that our wide, private balconies overlooked.
An impromptu pizza party accompanied the delivery of our room keys and we headed off, each one to his or her own suite, excited yet weary, for a few hours of restful relaxation before the welcome reception at poolside, scheduled to begin at 7:00.
A buffet of savory hors d'oeuvres and beverages greeted us beneath the straw canopy of the poolside cabana, from which we served ourselves and rejoined our fellow guests at tables tucked amidst the tropical hibiscuses and winding walkways of our poolside paradise. We all agreed the setting was as ideal as it was idyllic, combining the calming balm of its peaceful beauty with the privacy many yearned for, as a comforting cocoon of companionable friendship settled in among our contingent like a soft, weightless cloak, and we reveled in its soothing effects in hushed voices choked with thankfulness before a pink and amber sunset viewed with awe, as day one of our joyful journey came to a close.
Day 2: Rested, Refreshed, and Renewed
A playful posse of porpoises (well, ok, so they were dolphins!) rewarded the participants in the first of the day's activities, a session of Laughing Yoga led by Audrey Giron. To some who witnessed the spectacle of leaping, cavorting sea creatures, it was as if they had gathered deliberately to greet us in an appropriately cheerful prelude to the carefree fun of the exercise about to begin, for as soon as all had assembled on the beach and the class was about to start, they vanished beneath the surface of the waves, leaving their admirers thrilled and inspired by their athletic show of carefree spirit. That same quality of spirit infused the Laughing Yoga-ites as they mimicked various movements and engaged in light-hearted energy-producing antics with each other, all while laughing uproariously, as instructed and inspired by Ms. Giron.
Ms. Giron recalls that she had been praying for direction from God and to Father Pia (the famous Italian saint) for direction to something that would help others more. "One day the word "risa" (which is 'laugh' in Spanish, my native language) came to mind. So I looked up 'laughter' on the internet and found reference to "Laughter Yoga" and that became an epiphany for me. I realized I was being led to pursue, practice and teach laughter yoga to others." Her advice to breast cancer sufferers? "You must have faith, because God is almighty. God can do everything. When you practice faith, pray consciously and make contact with the Divine (whoever that being is for you), you feel an aura of protection and energy that something is helping you. With the strength from that inner energy, you can make things happen. And you will find answers in your life."
Indeed, there was plenty of energy charging the atmosphere at the beach that morning, as the healthful, mood-infusing benefits of laughter were made joyfully clear by the sincerely spirited smiles sported by all by the end of the activity. Relaxed, refreshed and renewed, we returned to the hotel prepared to take on the world, after an hour spent showering and changing for the day's speakers' programs, preceded by a continental breakfast buffet.
The first of the speakers was Life Coach Susan Mayer-McHugh, whose career focuses on helping to guide breast cancer victims through the maze of difficult decisions they must face to enable them to best choose the right one for themselves. Her career developed from knowing what cancer patients go through from personal experience and how overwhelming it is, especially early on, when they're first diagnosed. Having that empathy for their need for direction impels her to advise them not to do one thing or the other, but rather to guide them through the process of making the decision that is right for them. To be an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and a hand to hold.
Ms. Mayer-McHugh began her session on coping with our emotions and turning difficult feelings into a positive attitude with an invitation to introduce ourselves and to share our expectations of her class with each other. There was many a moist eye around the room, as by turns we confessed our fears, our hopes, and what we hoped to gain from each others' perspectives and from the sharing of our own. One woman, between tears, sobbed, "I just want to say that today is the 1st day I've allowed myself to cry and now the floodgates are open." Later, she was serenaded with the birthday song (followed two other versions of it, in Spanish, by the Latinas among us), after learning today was her birthday.
A roundtable discussion followed, in which each group's 6-8 participants were asked, "If you were to share one piece of advice with someone newly diagnosed with breast cancer, what would it be?" Responses ranged from "You must rely upon a Higher Power as well as other people" to "Know that whatever stage of your diagnosis you're going through, you have wisdom to offer to someone who's just been diagnosed." Others included: "Trust your body and be persistent. Be your own advocate with [doctors] and others in the medical field." "Put God first. Have a positive attitude. Don't be around negative people." And one woman's motto, heartily adopted by all: ""Cancer may have me but I do not have cancer".
Ms. Mayer-McHugh advises breast cancer patients to seek proper, professional guidance, especially when they're first diagnosed, to get direction and to keep from becoming overwhelmed by all the choices and decisions they will face.
Next up was Areanna Breedlove, CPA, who dispensed common myths and misconceptions about bankruptcy, Medicare and Medicaid handling of cancer-related claims, living wills, and other financial matters to the great relief of those of us who are struggling with such issues, with practical advice valued by all. Ms. Breedlove has twice undergone chemo treatment for autoimmune disorders and knows that even during those treatments when one's energy is at its lowest, the bureaucracies tend to come down the hardest on those least able to take them on.
The success of this retreat, Ms. Breedlove believes, is living testimony to Mother Theresa's quote "You cannot do great things in this life, only small things with great love." "A lot of people did small things with great love to help make this thing happen, and it's all come together to produce tremendous results because of that. I believe this has been a real healing experience for many (if not the majority of) of the women here."
Following a break over a generous lunch buffet was a "make-over" demonstration by talented makeup artist Lori Ovitz, Board of Trusteees, Un. Of Chicago and volunteer teacher of workshops nationwide and author of "Facing the Mirror with Cancer: A Guide to Using Makeup to Make a Difference". Her inspiration for her work was the first time she taught a cancer patient how to overcome the effects of chemotherapy after 20 years spent as a freelance makeup artist for celebrities in Chicago. It forever changed her career.
Ms. Ovitz believes, "You can go through cancer treatment and still feel amazing about the way you look." With all eyes glued to her deft ministrations, she created "faux" eyebrows, eyelashes and even hair. We watched, mildly bemused, as her "model", one of the guests, was transformed from one who was clearly blessed with a fine bone structure but lacking eyebrows due to chemotherapy and otherwise suffering from the effects of cancer treatments on the skin, into a ravishing beauty, courtesy of her artful expertise, handed down to us all in the form of a comprehensive book she had published on the subject, complete with full-color photos and tips, along with gifts for each of us in the form of a liquid makeup sample and quality makeup brush. Whoops of approval rang out as the model took to the center of the tables in a mock runway walk worthy of a Milan fashion house, along with cheers and plenty of questions for Ms. Ovitz, who gamely answered them all and proceeded to do private individual make-overs for others, as the rest of the crowd took to their rooms for a couple of hours of rest before dinner.
A sumptuous dinner buffet of salmon, chicken, mixed greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette, rolls and an assortment of decadent desserts rounded out the day's events at the same poolside venue we'd so enjoyed last night. Afterward, some took pictures or walked along the ocean as the sun began to set while others lingered at their tables, chatting, until their rooms beckoned them return for a good night's sleep.
Our first day of group interaction had ended. Our assorted repressed emotions had found expression and, with it, blessed release as Day Two of our journey came to a close.
Day 3: Reclaim, Replenish, Recharge
There were no dolphins to greet us this day, as we assembled at water's edge to begin the morning's Laughing Yoga workout. Replacing them was another visitor, who would arrive about midway through a vigorous session of laughter, energy and merriment that grew steadily from a different routine added to the program this morning. It was an introduction to the [Indian-style] form of yoga, imparting to each of us the peacefulness, balance and gracefulness that are the hallmarks of the classic Indian form of yoga.
Ah, but before too long, our restful selves were given over to laughing with abandonment, as the Laughing Yoga segment of our session began. Which is when our new friendly visitor arrived: a beach patrolman, dropping by to see what all the madness and mayhem of our merry mob of maidens (and a couple of men) was all about. He as quickly turned and left, smiling and shaking his head as he went. Twenty minutes later, our yoga session over, we broke to freshen up before breakfast outside our meeting room, where a whole new slate of speakers awaited to enlighten a reinvigorated audience eager to learn.
Our appetites slated, we listened as Amber Alsobrooks, Recreational Therapist and Community Outreach Coordinator, gave a presentation on the impact of stress on the body and emotions, and techniques to reduce the impact of those stressors. Says Ms. Alsobrooks, "The treatments that are intended to kill cancer cells can often compromise all the other parts of what makes us who we are. This had become painfully evident to me as I watched a good friend and running partner go through treatment for ovarian cancer. So when I saw a presentation about Get REAL & HEEL at a recreation therapy conference, I saw it as a program for cancer survivors that addressed needs from a more holistic perspective."
Next, Jean Owen, Exercise Physiologist, explained the importance of exercise, the components of an effective exercise regimen, and how exercise can help those struggling with breast cancer. One benefit, as Ms. Owen explains, is that "Exercise can help you recover and heal from cancer and its treatments. During cancer treatments, you may have given over control of your body to physicians and other medical professionals, but exercise gives you a way to regain control over your own body, which has inherent mental and physical benefits besides."
And, finally, D. J. Amatuli, Personal Trainer, shed some light on the secrets of ensuring a successful exercise program (including the importance of starting out slowly to avoid burnout from the outset; consistency; and listening to one's body to establish and respect its limits.) The many cancer scares in D.J.'s family, all of which were all easily fixed with surgery, fueled his desire to learn about the personal toll that cancer takes on women and what treatments do to them, to enable him to be of better service to them by knowing more about what they go through.
All three are members of UNC-CH's Get REAL and Heel program, a program that cancer survivors start within six mos. of finishing their treatment that continues for a period of twenty weeks. The program requires an hour of exercise followed by recreational therapy for half an hour, three times per week.
Another of this morning's speakers, Xiomara Boyce, Clinical Patient Navigator and Outreach Specialist with Duke University and leader of a support group for Latina breast cancer patients, related her tragic history and the resulting motivation for her patient advocacy role to a spellbound crowd that hung on her every word with rapt attention and admiration.
After losing her father in a fatal car accident and her unborn child to an amniocentesis test, Ms. Boyce shared with us the loss that would forever alter her life and impel her to pursue a path of patient advocacy. A dear Japanese friend was studying with her in France when she and some classmates took a trip to England. On their way back, they learned that their Japanese friend had gone to the hospital and died possibly because she did not speak the language. The seed of her life's purpose was planted, one that would take root and sprout when she, herself, suffered mistreatment by a surgeon not long thereafter.
The surgeon had administered an anesthetic prior to stitching the area around an inflamed infection in her breast. He left for a long time to treat another patient, then returned to Ms. Boyce to suture her wound, even though the anesthetic had begun to wear off. He casually dismissed her protestations with a slap of her upraised hand and went right on stitching. All the while, Ms. Boyce silently wondered how many non-English speaking women this doctor had mistreated. When she later confronted him with her medical training and promised to warn other Latina women to avoid his practice, her new role of patient advocator for Latinas was born.
As if she hadn't encountered tragedy enough in her life, Ms. Boyce experienced a brush with death following her mastectomy that stemmed from washing her hair too soon. The dye from the chemical ran into her surgery scars. The doctors did not expect her to live from the incident and was subsequently bedridden for 5 months. But nutritionally she was able to bring her body back to life. In fact, she refused chemo and radiation following her mastectomy, choosing instead to treat it nutritionally on her own with help from her doctors.
Hers was a fascinating story of transforming grief into good, and one that still managed to impart Ms. Boyce's expertise on the effects of radiation, chemotherapy and medications on one's body during and after treatment for cancer.
Before breaking for lunch, Ms. Susan Mayer-McHugh led an in-depth (and, at times, refreshingly randy!) discussion about the bodily changes brought on by cancer treatments, including dry mouth, changes in one's ability to taste and smell, pain, nausea, extreme fatigue, sexual side-effects, swelling and other issues faced by cancer sufferers. Many expressed their relief at having such a candid exchange with women who have experienced similar problems, rather than suffer in silence around others who are clueless about such intimate details and with whom they would be uncomfortable confiding the sort of subjects they discussed among themselves with honesty, sensitivity, and not a little humor, today.
A delicious buffet lunch rekindled our energy, as did a rousing game of "In the Bedroom", a game in which each of the attendees were handed a card containing an eloquent motivational saying. One by one, we read the quote on our card, followed by the phrase, "… in the bedroom". Boisterous laughter filled the room as, one by one, the cards were read, like one woman's, which boasted, "Everything I touch becomes a success …. In the bedroom", and "All I do is satisfying… in the bedroom", and one man's card, which read, "I am flexible and flowing … in the bedroom"!
That was a tough act to follow, but our next speaker, Tania Fabela, rose capably to the challenge with an arsenal of interesting and helpful insights into ways to improve health and lessen the negative effects of cancer treatments through proper nutrition by applying variety to one's menu to maintain a healthy appetite; the basic essentials to strive for when planning a diet (with proper portions, complete and balanced nutrition, and adequate intake for one's present condition and age.) Ms. Fabela added that a good diet should also be harmless by maintaining healthfulness and good hygiene. A glimpse into the nutrients found in various foods was included, as well, along with tips for conquering problems resulting from cancer treatments, like loss of appetite, constipation, smell and taste changes, and dry mouth.
The motivation for Ms. Fabela's work as a Nutritionist stemmed from an earlier desire to be a doctor. Not wanting to forfeit being a mother, too, however, prompted her to choose instead to pursue work involving nutrition so she could be involved with something health-related that would benefit people and earned her MS in Nutrition and Community Nutrition from Univ. Of Barcelona.
Ms. Fabela advises breast cancer patients to eat healthy foods and to be aware of the correct portion sizes.
A change of venue awaited us that evening, as we climbed into the hotel shuttle or walked to Gigi's Italian Restaurant down the street, where we enjoyed a dinner of pizza and antipasto salad with an enthusiastic recalling of the day's events. And so Day 3 concluded as energetically as it had begun,
but with a deeper understanding of how to reclaim and maintain our bodies and our strength, through knowledge gained and wisdom exchanged through the college we know as camaraderie.
Day 4: Restored, We Revive & Rejoice!
Today's initial speaker, Ms. Amy Sear, AP, Diplo. OM and owner of Sear-Enity Natural Medicine in FL, introduced us all to Asian secrets of self-healing that included acupuncture, the study and practice of Tai Chi. She explained the fundamentals of self healing, and Tai Chi, and explained the benefits that can be derived from these techniques by cancer patients. As an example, she described a treatment she routinely gives to one of our own who happens to be a patient of Ms. Sear's, and whose enthusiastic endorsement of the technique supported Ms. Sear's assertion as to its efficacy, even during the first week after radiation therapy.
A popular figure at Heritage Hospital Cancer Center in Tarboro, NC, Scott Phillips, LCSW, Patient Navigator, recalled that part of his inspiration for working for breast cancer patients was the death of his grandfather from breast cancer, an occurrence that happens in only 1% of all breast cancer cases. As a Patient Navigator, Phillips tells his patients, "No barrier is too great. When it comes to healthcare, particularly for cancer treatments, there is a way around any barrier that comes up. Don't allow yourself to be sidetracked or derailed because of obstacles [like having no insurance.] That is an obstacle that you can get around." In that capacity, Phillips serves as a patient advocate/liaison through the often frustrating bureaucracies within the healthcare system that often entangle or discourage cancer patients.
With the rest of the day set aside as free time to explore and relax on our own, we went our separate ways until a special farewell dinner brought us all back together again poolside, with a special beach celebration to follow.
As so often had happened at opportune moments during the course of the retreat, out came the cameras from pockets and purses as one member of a table or another sprang up seeking group pictures at each table while conversations turned to flight schedules, packing and appointments to be kept back home. Mingled with the conviviality of the moment was a tinge of sadness at the prospect of returning to our normal lives after tomorrow. Yet, as difficult as we knew that would be, each of us understood that the bonds we had forged over the past four days would strengthen and sustain us through whatever may lie ahead.
Although typically, dinner would be followed by individuals and groups breaking apart from the rest to go their separate ways, Claudia and Jose bid us stay for a symbolic close to the retreat that was to be by far the most poignant and inspirational highlight of the week.
After first being given lovely pendant necklaces of the lotus flower emblem as keepsakes (and some lucky winners a Laughing Yoga tee shirt by special drawing), we all received a pink balloon, with instructions to write anything negative we want to see disappear from our lives on it in pen. We then met at the water's edge just as a vibrant rosy sun began to seemingly melt into the horizon. All together, we popped our balloons in illustration of our commitment to dispense of all negativity from this point forward.
We then began a march toward the main Don Cesar Hotel & Resort, an imposing pink 'castle'-like structure built in the 1920s, two blocks down the beach, carrying our lit tea light candles in honor of one who lost the battle with cancer. As we naturally-fell into groups of similar pace, talking amongst ourselves, someone would spontaneously break into a song that the others would pick up and the group would begin singing in unison, their voices lifted and carried to the others ahead or behind them as they went. As the strains of 'This Little Light of Mine", "You Are My Sunshine" and "Stand By Me" trailed behind us, muted by the ebbing tide, we reached the shore that stretched below the The Don Cesar Hotel & Resort and posed for a group picture with first the ocean and then the resort as the backdrop, just as the last tints of daylight faded and darkness enveloped the beach. Having captured the moment in what may be our last group picture of the trip, it was time to call it a day. But not before one last symbolic ritual had been performed on the sands behind the hotel that was our home for the past four days.
As we approached the stretch of beachfront behind our hotel, Claudia called for anyone who was willing to loan their tea light candle to hand it to her so she could make a design in the sand: The Breast Cancer ribbon. Kneeling, she and a few others took each of the candles handed to them and set the tiny, flickering lights in the sand in the shape of a loop. We all stood and gaze down at it in admiration, taking in the symbolism and meaning of the moment. At our feet, the ribbon glowed like a beacon against the black sand, to the whisper of the waves that behind us lapped against the shore. Once again, cameras were drawn out and we knelt down over the ribbon, that flashes of light could illumine our faces as we surrounded it, seeking once again to capture yet another moment, the last of the night and of the week, to keep and to share with each other once we'd become separated by space and time, but not by isolation. Never by isolation. For we knew that the spell of loneliness and of private struggle had been broken by the potent potion we'd come to know as friendship. A friendship forged by unity.
A few of the impressions of the retreat by attendees:
"It was a life-changing experience. I'm still so excited. I just really enjoyed everything. I've gained so much from it. Meeting different cultures, hearing different stories, and getting strength from each one. At the beginning when we expressed ourselves and all that we felt it was so powerful, with everyone tearing up and spilling their experiences. But by the end we all felt so comfortable with each other and had such confidence talking to each other. Just to be in a group of women and feel the confidence around them and comfortable with everyone and be able to discuss with them how it felt to finally get my feelings out after twenty-two years."~ Elizabeth, 22-year breast cancer survivor
"I like that I got to meet other ladies and enjoy the fellowship with others and to hear their stories, which has given me more courage to help others."
"I thank God for this retreat. Even though I was in pain, I enjoyed myself, with the laughing yoga and conversations with the other survivors. Just listening to their stories is very uplifting. I know that I will never forget them. This deadly disease brought us together. We are sisters, and I love them all. Keep the faith in God."~ Mae S., the guest whose breast cancer has spread to her brain, quoted earlier.
"Exceeded my expectations. And that rarely happens. I gained interpersonal strength, courage, fortitude, and developed a oneness with other women because we had a shared experience."
"We were sisters against a common enemy. I especially liked how it was arranged, by Mind, Body and Spirit. I think the most powerful thing I got out of it was being with other women who understood without my having to tell them. And I came away with a greater sense of empowerment and a commitment to give myself credit for what I've been through and to be more vigorous in reclaiming my life."
"What I got out of the retreat was networking. Seeing how this type of approach to healing can be utilized and incorporated with educating during clinical trials. More importantly, strong bonds and relationships were established and the growth developed in the women beyond their pain so that they now are able to move forward and help other women in their communities and are seeking ways to be contributors to the good of others. I believe they will become very strong advocates in their communities for others struggling with breast cancer. " "I've learned that those of us in the healthcare industry need to learn to listen to patients and to not just view the cancer diagnosis but how it affects the individual and their world."
"I really liked the conferences, and sharing experiences with the others there. It reached my spirit."
When asked was there anything you learned this week that you had never heard of or known before, and, if so, what? "Acupuncture and Tai Chi and Laugher Yoga".

Haro Bike? Any reviews or recommendations?
New here, been lurking since last year, but never a need to make an accounts.
I am coming off of a crap walmart bike.. Avalon Men's 26" Cruiser Bike - Walmart.com
and was looking to make an upgrade.
I have about 400 to spend, and was looking at a LBS and seen a haro flight two Haro Bikes - MTB - Bikes - Flightline - Flightline Two on sale for 350.. Would I see a big upgrade or what? The LBS side they would throw in slicks with thicker thread on the edges for an easier ride...
I did seaches for Haro bikes and haven't really seen much.. Any input or information.. Suggestions.. Much appreciated. Thank you!
OH! I ride about 10-30 miles a day, a couple times a week on gravel for about 100 yards other than that, mostly roads. Hilly area.. I am 5'9'' and 230 lbs.
Welcome to the Forums :)
That Haro isn't going to set any speed records, but it should be faster (and probably lighter) than what you got now. You'll have to give it a test ride to see if you really like it, though.
Edit: Or you might be able to score an entry level hybrid for not much more than your budget. Models to look for would Giant Escape, Trek 7.1 FX, Kona Dew... just about every brand will have something similar.
Thank you very much for the reply! I tested a 7.2 trek and fell in love! Bought that instead :)

Ladybug Pacman game

In Ladybug Pacman, which is sans an online pacman amusement, the player mimics ladybug. Your undertaking is to gather (eat, being all the more absolutely) crosslets all around the labyrinth (to go to another level you need to eat every one of them). The labyrinth is produced using lasting and portable components. Utilizing the versatile dividers (a spinning entryways) sensibly, you can successfully avoid your adversaries – bugs. The bugs, which dislodge the phantoms from the first pacman diversion, are distinctive in every labyrinth (and their rate is higher in the accompanying levels as well). They leave the "phantom" pen (now it ought to be called "bug" pen) consistently. At the point when the green line on the edge of the labyrinth portrays a circle, another bug leaves the bug pen. Toward the end of the load up there will be five of them, and in the bug pen (when every one of them will abandon it) show up a reward natural product. In the wake of eating it, the bugs stop for a minute and you can unhurriedly gather crosslets. As you may see, ladybug can come in into the bug's spot, rather than other pacman like games.An additional trouble is the presence of two or all the more (in the following sheets) skulls in the labyrinth. They can either help you – when a bug will attempt to eat them, or damage you – all things considered you lost an existence. It is ideal to be watchful and leave skulls for bugs – they move truly confused and don't keep their's head above water. Likewise, you need to hold up with experiencing spinning entryways, if behind them there is a bug.In this circumstances, in the event that you make headway and attempt to supplant the bug, you will lost an existence. Everywhere throughout the labyrinth there are things intended for you – some uncommon rewards. It is ideal to gather them, becauce in the wake of social event 10,000 focuses you will get an additional life. In spite of the fact that the representation is, to understate the obvious, less alluring than in other comparable pacman recreations (it is made in retro, arcade style), the gameplay can be very interesting. For olders it could be a wistful outing, and the young people ought to play only for no particular reason (or, to perceive how their guardians invested their free energy when they were young)

Style Saturday | Festival VibesSaturday, July 18, 2015
Hey Beauties!
This past weekend I decided to have a little adventure with my friend Heather, the city I live in hosts a weekend long festival that reflects the city we live in and the many cultures that call it home. I have attended since I was a little kid and it's always been a fun thing to do in the summer. So Heather and I put on our festival best, rocked some flash tattoos and braids in our hair and headed on over. We saw some great local artists, caught up with some friends, listened to some music, ate some amazing tacos and bought way too much fudge. It was so much fun and I absolutely loved my outfit so I wanted to share it with you guys!

Nature to put on spectacular display tonight with 60 shooting stars an hour in the sky
NATURE will put on a spectacular firework display tonight with up to 60 shooting stars an hour.
The Perseid meteor shower will be at its peak from late evening to early tomorrow morning, says the Royal Astronomical Society.
And viewing conditions this year will be particularly good because the moon is a waxing crescent and will have set across most of the UK by 10.30pm.
This means the night sky will be relatively dark making the meteors easier to spot.
Meteors are tiny particles of space dust entering the Earth's atmosphere at nearly 130,000mph.
They vapourise as they heat up the air around them creating a streak of light which can last from less than a second to a few seconds as the vapourised gases fade.
Comet Swift-Tuttle won't be visiting our neck of the woods again until the year 2125
The Perseids come from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle, which last passed near the Earth in 1992.
The shower gets its name because it appears to originate from the constellation of Perseus.
Experts advise meteor watchers to wrap up warm and bring reclining chairs so they can watch the night sky in comfort, preferably in a dark spot away from artificial light.
Professor Alan Fitzsimmons of Queen's University Belfast said: "Comet Swift-Tuttle won't be visiting our neck of the woods again until the year 2125, but every year we get this beautiful reminder as the Earth ploughs through the debris it leaves in its orbit.
"Every meteor is a speck of comet dust vapourising as it enters our atmosphere at 36 miles per second. What a glorious way to go."
