Review It!
I thought that this new book was just as great as all of her other books. My number one was identical but I think perfect is a close second.
Don't you just love the cover?
"Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that they'd rather be. For four high-school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there.
Cara's parents' unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin brother Conner spiraling toward suicide. For her, perfect means rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body—no matter what surgeries and drugs she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run—on the field and off—Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he'll be living a life his ancestors would never have understood.
Everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning, how far will you go? What would you give up to be perfect?
A riveting and startling companion to the bestselling Impulse, Ellen Hopkins's Perfect exposes the harsh truths about what it takes to grow up and grow into our own skins, our own selves."
I thought that the book had all the right character and plot along with a perfectly patterned and tied together ending…. Makes you wonder… What would you do to be perfect…?
There's a perfect bookvid on the right http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9917945-perfect
This book is about a teenage boy in high school who is struggling. He has a hot older sister in which everyone looks up to, Naomi. Everything goes wrong when his sister Naomi faxes her brother sample advice column to her ex-boyfriend/ her brother's English teacher and Newspaper Teacher. He starts writing advice to high school classmates….. This doesn't sound to bad right? But what if he's posing as his sister while writing all the advice?
Cleopatra Confesses was an interesting book to read. The back of the book with all of the facts and how she researches was something worth to read. I thought that the story itself was good also this fictional story goes a lot along the lines of the Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra. But if you really wanted to read about her whole life, I wouldn't read this book. While it was all-together very fascinating. it only delved into your younger years, thirteen though eighteen. I was deeply disappointed that it didn't go very much into her relationship with Marc Anthony.
Be sure to watch Cleopatra Starring Elizabeth Taylor! A wonderful companion to this book.
I loved this book. As you should know, Beastly is a book also by Alex Flinn that has made it big by being made into a movie. She has started making classic fairy tales into funny modern novels.
A Kiss in time is a book based on the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty. It is very much the same except the main character in this movie doesn't live in a cottage in the woods for the first sixteen months of her life with fairies. No, no. She is a spoiled brat of a princess because she gets what ever she likes as long as she stays away from the needle of her death.
One day from her sixteen birthday she asks for the most perfect dress in the world for her birthday ball. The king invited all of the finest seamstresses and dress designers to bring their most wonderful dress designs. This is where the princess meets the wicked witch that has cursed her. The next thing she knows. She's being kissed by a boy. A boy in "Old Navy" cloth on him. He tells her that it is 300 years from the year that she fell asleep. This is where the story gets exciting.
Glow (Sky Chasers #1) by Amy Kathleen Ryan
What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you'd been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?Out in the murky nebula lurks an unseen enemy: the New Horizon. On its way to populate a distant planet in the wake of Earth's collapse, the ship's crew has been unable to conceive a generation to continue its mission. They need young girls desperately, or their zealous leader's efforts will fail. Onboard their sister ship, the Empyrean, the unsuspecting families don't know an attack is being mounted that could claim the most important among them… Fifteen-year-old Waverly is part of the first generation to be successfully conceived in deep space; she was born on the Empyrean, and the large farming vessel is all she knows. Her concerns are those of any teenager—until Kieran Alden proposes to her. The handsome captain-to-be has everything Waverly could ever want in a husband, and with the pressure to start having children, everyone is sure he's the best choice. Except for Waverly, who wants more from life than marriage—and is secretly intrigued by the shy, darkly brilliant Seth.
But when the Empyrean faces sudden attack by their assumed allies, they quickly find out that the enemies aren't all from the outside. – Goodreads
Wolfsbane (Nightshade #2) by Andrea Cremer
When Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemies, she's certain her days are numbered. But then the Searchers make her an offer—one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack—and the man—she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive. – Goodreads
A former child prodigy named Colin only dates girls named Katherine, and every time he does, they seem to spurn him. He has dated nineteen of them so far, and is starting to despair after the nineteenth of them rejected him after 6 months of being together. In his dejected self pity, he accompanies his best friend Hassan on a road trip across America, and ends up finding laughs, love, and math in the tiny hamlet of Gutshot, Tennessee. The author of this book, John Green, has made many books along these same lines (an erudite, but highly neurotic Woody Allenesque character with a gratingly snarky best friend obsesses over an equally intelligent/neurotic, but inaccessible girl, and learns valuable life lessons along the way), including Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, and this book, but I chose this one for its happier ending. It was less sad, and awkwardly hormonal than Looking for Alaska, was less existentially postmodern than Paper Towns, and was less disparate in tone than Will Grayson, Will Grayson. It was laugh out loud funny at points, and disenhearteningly sad at others. The main character was so annoying that I wanted to stop reading, but the less irritating side characters lessened my urge to play discus with the book. Over all, quite entertaining and emotionally resonant, even with its flaws, and is my favorite of Green's oeuvre.
But the last thing she expects is to fall for Deni, a brooding Indonesian boy who lives at the orphanage, and just so happens to be HOT. When Deni hears a rumor that his father may be alive, Sienna doesn't think twice about running away with him to the epicenter of the disaster. Unfortunately, what they find there could break both their hearts.
A compelling summer romance, Sea marks the arrival of a stunning new voice in YA.
She does have an amazing way of writing and I enjoyed reading it a lot. I think it just might be one of my many favorite books. One of the interesting things that I learned is that people in Indonesia don't have toilet paper, so they eat with their right hand when they eat, it's disrespectful to point your toes at somebody,they aren't very sanitary since the country is in poverty, and I learned many more customs in this book. Heidi really did her research!

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
y 1941- c. R. PEDERSEN ILLUMINATED TWIRLING BATON Filed Sept. 14, 1939 Patented May 20, 1941 2,242,981 nmmma'ran 'rwnumo BATON Christian 3. Peder-sen, Chicago, Ill. Application September 14, 1989, Serial No. 294,977
This invention relates to a baton for drum majors and others primarily adapted for use at night outdoors, on a darkened stage or otherwise and it generally aims to provide a novel construction which may be illuminated or rendered luminous.
Another object is to provide a construction of baton having end portions which are of diaphanous material and adapted to be illuminated through the closing of switches of flashlights or the equivalent associated therewith and located within the baton.
Still further, it is aimed to provide for the closing of the switches through adjustment of socket members which are relatively heavy to aflord momentum when twirling, and which socket members carry the diaphanous elements, the inner ends of the latter preferably being tapered in the sockets in order to cushion the blow when dropped.
The more specific objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the description following taken in connection with accompanying drawing illustrating an operative embodiment.
In said drawing:
Figure 1 is a view of the baton, partly broken away, to disclose the interior construction;
Figure 2 is an elevation of the baton showing the selective use of difierent forms of diaphanous end elements, and
Figure 3 is an enlarged substantially central longitudinal sectional view fragmentarily showing the baton.
Referring specifically to the drawing, the baton includes a tubular section III of any suitable length and preferably of metal on the ends of which, socket members I I are externally screw threaded as at |2. Each socket member at the outer end carries a diaphanous element l3 having their inner end portions press fitted into tapered walls l5 of the socket members. The tapered joint is important since it will cushion the blow on the diaphanous element I 3, when the baton is dropped. Said socket members II are relatively large and heavy, so that they will give the necessary momentum when twirling.
The diaphanous elements I3 may be made of any suitable material, for instance "Lucite which is an optically clear plastic. They may also be made of any other suitable transparent or translucent material like glass, synthetic resin or otherwise. Such elements I3 may be externalhr roughened to increase the lighting effect, as by roughening them with sand paper.
Located within the tubular section III are two removable, self contained flashlights H or any other equivalent lighting means. Such flashlights are of the pentype and have electric bulbs as at IS in contact with the inner ends of the adjacent diaphanous elements I3. Said bulbs l8 slightly project beyond constricted ends IQ of casings 20 having removable end caps 2| attached thereto by screw threads at 22. Within each casing are one or more removable batteries 23 having adjacent terminals in contact and a.
terminal of each outermost battery in, contact with the adiacent central electrode 24 01 the bulb l8 and which is in conducting relation with its filament. Also in conducting relation with the filament is the conducting shell 25 of the bulb, which is insulated as usual from the contact 24 and which is screw threaded into a socket member or ring 26 having expansive fingers, removably holding the same in friction tight relation with the inner wall of casing 20. The batteries 23 are insulated from the casing 20 by an insulating washer as at 28. Each cap 2| carries a slidable plunger member 29, normally urged outwardly by an expansive spring 30 which has a central member 3|, adapted to engage the adjacent contact or end of the batteries 23. Spring 30. normally urges the plunger switch 28 away from the batteries and the element 3| out of contact with the batteries and hence the electric circuit through the bulb I8 is normally broken.
Within the tube III are removable floating filler members 32, for instance of wood, which are joined by a coil spring 33 secured to them by lastenings 34.
As a result of the construction described, the baton may at any time be used as an ordinary baton. In addition, at night, outdoors or on a darkened stage or otherwise, the bulbs I! may at any time be energized so as to illuminate the diaphanous elements l3, so that they may be readily visible and have a novel effect. In order to cause the illumination or energization of the bulbs I8 from their batteries 23, the socket members II are turned so as to move the same inwardly and through their contact with the bulbs I8, bodily move the flashlights inwardly, with the exception of the plunger switches 29, so that the elements II will be engaged with the batteries and electric circuits established through the bulbs. The circuits may be opened at any time, by loosening the sockets II at the screw threads, to a slight extent, that is, sufllcient to enable springs 30 to move the portions 3| out of engagement with the batteries.
The diaphanous elements l3 may be of any desired shape and size and for instance in lieu of an attenuated element as shown at l3, the same may be in a ball as suggested at l3a, being of the identical material as set forth with respect to the elements l3. One or a( pair of the sockets equipped with each form of the diaphanous element may be employed and used interchangeably as desired.
In order to effect color changes or variations, colored disks of transparent or translucent Cellophane or the equivalent, may be interposed between the bulbs I8 and inner ends of the elements (3 or iBa.
Various changes may be resorted to provided they fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
I claim as my invention:
1. A baton of the class described having a tubular enclosing section, a. socket member adjustably secured on one end of said section, a diaphanous element extending from the socket member, a flashlight mounted within and having a longitudinal movement independently of said section, said flashlight having a switch, abutment means for the switch located within the enclosing section, the bulb of said flashlight being in contact with the inner end of said diaphanous element so that the latter will cause the flashlight to slide bodily relatively to the enclosing section through operation of the socket member to operate the switch and cause illumination of the diaphanous element.
2. A baton of the class described having a tubular enclosing section, socket members adjustably secured on opposite ends of said section, diaphanous elements extending from the socket members, a pair of longitudinally alined flashlights mounted within and having longitudinal movement independently of said section, said flashlights having switches, the bulbs of said flashlights being respectively in contact with the inner ends of said diaphanous elements so that the latter will cause the flashlights to slide bodily relatively to the enclosing section through operation of the socket members to operate the switches and cause illumination of the diaphanous members.
3. A baton of the class described having a tubular enclosing section, socket members adjustably secured on opposite ends of said section, diaphanous elements extending from the socket members, a pair of longitudinally alined flash lights mounted within and having longitudinal movement independently of said section, said flashlights having switches, the bulbs of said flashlights being respectively in contact with the inner ends of said diaphanous elements so that the latter will cause the flashlights to slide bodily relatively to the enclosing section through operation of the socket members to operate the switches and causeillumination of the diaphanous members, and floating means within the enclosing section between the flashlights and in abutment with the switches.

BROOKINGS, S.D. — The South Dakota State University baseball team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 12-6 victory over North Dakota Wednesday afternoon at Erv Huether Field.
The Jackrabbits improved to 12-20-1 overall, while UNDdropped to 4-25 on the season.
UND opened the scoring with a first-inning run as Kris Kwak led off the game with a single and scored on Jeff Campbell's double to center field.
SDSU tied the game with a run in the home half of the first and took the lead for good with a three-run second inning. The first six batters of the second inning reached safely, starting with back-to-back singles by Aaron Machbitz and Eric Danforth. After Steven Autenrieth was hit by a pitch, Andrew Melton drew a bases-loaded walk to force in the first run. Zach Rhodes and Andrew Phelan followed with run-scoring singles.
Zach Trygstad doubled in a pair of runs in the third to pull UND to within a run at 4-3, but the Jackrabbits countered with eight runs between the fourth and fifth innings to put the game away. Phelan doubled in the first run of the fourth and was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded as he finished the day 3-for-5 with three runs batted in. Eric Cain added a two-run double in the fifth as he recorded four RBI on the afternoon.
The Jackrabbits finished the game with 10 hits and also walked 10 times in the game. Rhodes added two hits for the Jackrabbits.
Campbell was 2-for-4 with three RBI, with Kwak and Riley Beck each adding two of UND's nine hits.
Freshman Nick Young pitched three innings of relief to earn his first collegiate victory for the Jackrabbits. Young allowed two runs after surrendering one hit and three walks, while striking out one. Seven different SDSU pitchers saw mound duty on Wednesday.
SDSU opens a four-game Summit League series Friday night at North Dakota State. First pitch is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Newman Outdoor Field in Fargo.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Tony! Good to see you on here! Very cool art video!
Thanks Steph and Ian. People's shapes are distorted taking pictures there. This pic makes me look thinner than I am. COOL! lol
Yay! The Bears just won!
Really nice pics Melinda and Chris. Thanks.
Joan, I saw a documentary on Danish TV last year on thr subject of depression, a debate between a retired consultant psychiatrist and a younger psychologist. The retired consultant bemoaned modern society, saying it was too "horizontal" and claiming that a "vertical" society where everyone knew their place was more conducive to human happiness. What an addled, bitter old fart, eh?

Carl, did you show them a picture of the Bean in Millenium (sp?) park? On FB there are a million pictures of people taking their pictures at the Bean. I have a pic of hubby and I there, I'll try to find it. It is cool, isn't it! Chicago really is a neat city!
Chris, awesome pics out your window!
We had a nice dinner last night, and the band was good. Have a good Sunday friends.
I love that Al Capone picture Melinda and that is a wonderful picture of you Ian.

Grand Hotel Des Iles BorromeesLatest booking: 30 minutes ago

Score from 191 reviews Good

Score from 445 reviews Excellent

Score from 746 reviews Very good
Residence Maurice offers self-catering accommodations in a renovated villa of 1920. It is 220 yards from Stresa Train Station and 380 yards from the pier to the Borromean Islands.
Score from 83 reviews Very good
This hotel represents great value for money, is a pleasant 15min stroll to town and the breakfast is fabulous. Rooms are clean and well appointed.
While very clean, the furnishings are all a little dated, a bit tired and the carpet had seen better days.
Location lake view
İnternet wifi
Room on street side experienced much road noise when windows open.
view from room / balcony swimming pool
We were so well looked after as were all the guests many of whom return year after year. Food very good and dining room staff excellent
Traffic noise
Nice big balcony looking on to the lake and the islands. Meals were good value 20 euros for four course and a variety each night Credit cards are taken if you are a independent traveller and not with a tour company.
Not enough drawer space and no rubbish bin in bedroom to place used newspapers etc Traffic noise could be problem as hotel is at the road side rooms at back quieter.
Nice hotel with parking, close to lake ferry
A bit of a walk to Stresa centre though very pleasant among the lake side
Everything about the hotel was lovely, apart from the walk back uphill after a large Italian Meal!! All the staff were most helpful and very friendly a good place to stay.Always prompt with requests. Nice to have an area where one could come back during the day and have coffee or food, and to be able to bring friends
A bit far out of town for anyone not too used to walking, but it also had advantages! Pillows were a bit hard ( minor gripe)
We arrived very early, but as our room was ready it was no problem for us to have it straight away. The hotel has a nice pool and our third floor room looked towards the lake.
Location and cleanliness
Staff was accommodating and allowed us to change our booking at the last minute without penalty. Balconies with view of Isola Bella, although partially obstructed by trees, were a nice addition to the room.
The mattress was thin as were the pillows.
Great views, nice pool, good location
Air conditioning poor/didn't work, no free Wi-Fi
Excellent room with Lake view balcony. Efficient and friendly staff. Dinner was very good value. Location in Stresa was excellent.
No porter to help carry the bags. Really annoyed that I was conned into paying in GBP, not EUR, on the credit card. Watch carefully when you pay or you may be caught too!
It was spotlessly clean. We didn't go in the pool but it looked lovely. The evening meal was good value.
The beds were very hard. It was a little way out of the centre which was fine in the day but there are no restaurants nearby.
This was a very friendly hotel. We had an excellent room on 3rd floor with fantastic views over the lake and islands. Lovely pool that was maintained immaculately. Convenient for cable car ,boats to islands and the station but a good 15min walk to centre of Stresa , albeit a very pleasant one along the lakeside. Fortunately hotel restaurant was very good, as was the breakfast.
Nothing to dislike.
Trevlig personal, god service, bra parkering, WIFI
Tog betalt för WIFI, maten under all kritik, dom bör byta kock
The swimming pool which was maintained in exceptional condition
Menu in the evening was ordinary. After 2 evening meals there we ate out elsewhere.

Fresh frozen yogurt swirls into cups as guests look on with hungry stares. The fruit experts at Fruitland Fresh also satiate sweet cravings with smoothies with or without tapioca pearls in them, in a variety of flavors such as green apple or taro.
Customizing a massage requires blending various modalities. When certified massage therapist Amaris Amezquita incorporates another modality into the mix, the shift occurs so seamlessly, many clients never notice the change. As her hands deliver long, rolling Swedish strokes, they may chance upon knotted muscles and petrified tendons, which require the firm cross-grained strokes of deep-tissue techniques. Rather than breaking the spell by starting over or pausing for an intermission, Amaris smoothly transitions to the new modality. Amaris makes massages easy not only with smooth delivery and transitions. She also saves clients the trouble of commuting by traveling to their homes.
In Japan, the cuisine is as colorful as it is flavorful. At Asian Grill, the chefs pay homage to Japan with their own eye-catching renditions of sushi, teriyaki, ramen noodles, and other Japanese classics. They wrap a paper-thin layer of bright-green avocado around the mini caterpillar roll, and radish sprouts add height and a pop of color to the Salmon Dreams roll. Beyond sushi, their menu also spotlights hot dishes, including pan-fried noodles and barbecue short ribs.
At Zen Asian Diner, chefs are versed in cuisine ranging from traditional Chinese to American-style dishes. They sear and fry fresh ingredients to create egg foo young tossed with vegetables or barbecue pork, chop suey with meats such as chicken and shrimp. Additionally, the menu includes mouth-watering Asian fusion dishes such as curry-drizzled chicken and Mongolian-style spicy beef. Zen Asian Diner also serves aromatic cuisine beyond its doors—they have a catering team that assembles party platters for off-site events.
In a chic, minimalist atmosphere, ROE's executive chef whips up creative flavors for experimenting mouth-hutches. The panko-encrusted calamari starters are kissed with fire sauce ($10), while the thinly sliced pan-roasted pork mojito entree luxuriates on a chaise longue of creamy corn polenta, paired with mojito aioli, pickled red onions, and chipotle vinaigrette ($18). ROE's sushi menu lists a ravishing roster of rolls, several of which grace the chef's platters of assorted sushi ($20) and sashimi ($22). Specialty rolls induce mouth purring, and include the fruit roll-up, a melding of Fuji apple, cream cheese, and crab roll, with a dapper topper of smoked salmon, tuna, avocado, pine nuts, and white balsamic sauce ($13). A variety of sakes and infused drinks complement the extensive wine list and slay fire-breathing palates.

Miracles of Erin

Like every birth, Erin's was a miracle - angelic face, delicate fingers. Little did we know how many miracles she would bring to us- both in life and in death.
As Erin failed to reach the "normal" milestones, we went to many specialists trying to "fix" her. One day as I was crying about everything that she wasn't doing, she looked up at me and laughed and laughed. As my friend said – "she's pretty terrific the way she is". The first of many lessons learned from Erin.
At public school, she was a leader in "inclusion". What can a child that doesn't walk or talk do in the class? The kids knew – if you asked them. And by listening to them, they were empowered to know that everybody belongs. Because she was so vulnerable, they could let their "masks" down and she could touch their hearts. Erin had begun her miracles.
Erin loved the water, being in it, watching it. Trips to the aquarium brought all the fish over to her wheelchair as they shared silent communication. "A mermaid in another life," I always said. When she was 21 she moved into her own home across the street with roommates and neighbors as her care giving "team" in a house with fish tanks and waterfalls. We saw over and over again the "magic" she wove among those that knew her and the community created around her.
Doctors said she wouldn't live much beyond 14. Every birthday was a celebration of another year. Each surgery and hospitalization survival yielded more appreciation of every day. Erin continued to smile.
July 2010, at age 31, it finally caught up with her. The night she died a yellow butterfly fluttered outside her window. The next days we held a vigil while dozens of butterflies clustered out in the yard. At her celebration of life, hundreds came to speak about this one who had come into the world so vulnerable and yet so strong, who had touched their hearts and changed their lives.
A month later, I took to the ocean 2 locks of Erin's hair. Before casting them into the sea, they formed a perfect heart in my hand. Releasing them into the water, I turned around and suddenly noticed an empty wheelchair on the beach. Turning back to the sea, 4 dolphins appeared leaping in a circle as if in joy. Erin had come home.
The miracle of Erin
Dearest Cynda,
Erin's life continues to inspire. While I did not have the joy of meeting Erin in person, I have had the joy of witnessing her beautiful world in Colorado. And reading here on PulseWire, about her miracle of life, of the butterflies that celebrated her spirit, and the dolphins who honored her love for water, of her ability to break down barriers and allow those around her to be vulnerable, open, and joyful, is an honor. Thank you Cynda for sharing Erin, your miracle, with us. And thank you Erin for teaching us that we are perfect just the way we are.
That is really beautiful. I am glad that you wrote that on here, and it is amazing how the world around can celebrate a life that touches others. I am sorry for your loss, but happy for the joy that must be in your heart of having loved, and loving her.
thank you for sharing this,

joy and surprise
Dear Cynda, My women's studies students and I were discussing the article in Moonrise about the founding of World Pulse, and I put up pulsewire for them to see and lo, there you were and there was your beautiful story. Of course, they know you are coming to speak about women's leadership, and when I said, my goodness, oh my goodness, it's Cynda! and as they learned a bit of your life's story involving Erin, we all felt deeply connected to miracles. It is wonderful to see your essay there and to hear Erin's lessons continue. Love,Carol
Thank you Cynda
Thank you Cynda for sharing the life of Erin. She lived far beyond age 14, that is significant and sign of Miracle, which she lived out. She left footprints with the sands of her time. In the eyes of human, she was vulnerable but to the Creator, she was a fulfillment of joy of creation.

Erin's story is beautiful.
Erin's story is beautiful. She brought humanity and specialness to the world. I honor Erin.
Beautiful Butterfly Spirit: Erin.....
Dear Cynda and Erin,
Thank you for reminding us of what is important in life: to love unconditionally and fully, be accepting of oneself and others, celebrate our imperfections as touchstone of humanity which is where grace and beauty exists and the enduring power of love is magical and for eternity!
Erin's story and spirit inspires so many people in such a profound way. Her beautiful butterfly spirit exists now in each of us, it is her gift to the world and we are so grateful.
With deep gratitude and love,
Linda Ando

Butterfly Love and Beauty.....
Dear Cynda,
I believe our spirits are reflected in animals, nature and other living things. It is no surprise to hear Erin's spirit is embodied in the Butterfly, symbolic in the journey of transformation and freedom to Be. Butterflies are angels with wings and bring such wonder of beauty, grace and magic when we are lucky enough to be in their presence.
My mother believes her parents, my grandparents are embodied in "dragonflies" and they return every spring in our garden. I love knowing this as it fills my heart and spirit immensely.
If you ever visit Seattle, please let me know as I would love to meet you. There is a Tropical Butterfly House Exhibit at the Pacific Science Center, near the Space Needle. I believe they have over 500 tropical butterflies in a tropical landscape of trees.

I send you and Erin a heartfelt hug and butterfly kisses from the heart, where we carry loved ones forever!
With Gratitude,

This is a great miracle, thank you so much for sharing. I feel so touched by this story! :-) She has touched one more live! (mine)

I am touched deeply by your story. Erin's life was indeed a miracle, not just because she lived longer than medical science expected her to but because she touched the lives of those around her.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Cynda
Dear Cynda,
I know it will be hard for you to live without Erin, but I think Erin has fulfilled her mission and would have to leave. It is a necessary end which will come when it will come.
I appreciate your concern. The PWESCR program was messed by visa processes. There was a mix-up of information from the organizers to the Embassy in Lagos. Since I did not make the 1st phase, I will not go for the 2nd phase in Nepal. However all hope is not lost as I am selected for a six-week course by Women's Human Rights Education Institute of the University of Toronto in Canada. The program comes up in May. I am still sourcing for funds and hopes to apply for visa through the Abuja office of the Canadian High Commission in Nigeria and well on time. Jade is aware of it and is upholding me in prayers for the program to work out. I will need fund for round trip airfare, accommodation and feeding and probably course fee if I am not given a partial scholarship. I am presently sourcing for funds and will so much appreciate any assistance, which I believe will go a long way in uplifting me and assisting in accomplishing my objectives. I can send you the program details and contacts of Angela Lytle, the Executive Director of the Institute, if you don't mind.
Regards Cynda and lots of my love
I am so thankful
Dear Cynda,
I am so thankful. I sent them to the email address.

Do you have
Dear Cynda,
I tried sending the mail using my official email address but it kept bouncing back. Do you have another email address apart from
How often we define strength using destructible, mortal terms - hers was a true strength, an enduring love that was felt by all she loved.

BSkyB in talks to buy Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia
BSkyB has had preliminary discussions about the potential acquisition of 21st Century Fox's interests in Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia.
Sky: discussing possible outright acquision of Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia
In a statement following reports about the potential deal, Sky said it had a clear set of plans to grow its business in the UK and Ireland, but is continuously exploring ways to create further value for its shareholders.
As part of this approach, Sky said it "initiated preliminary discussions" with 21st Century Fox (the entertainment arm of the old News Corporation) to evaluate the potential acquisition of its pay-TV assets in Germany and Italy.
In the statement, Sky said it believes at "the right value, this combination would have the potential to create a world-class multinational pay TV group".
News Corporation split into a film, TV and entertainment business (21st Century Fox) and a publishing company, known as News Corp, in June last year. 21st Century Fox owns the 39.1 per cent of Sky previously owned by News Corporation.
21st Century Fox owns all of Sky Italia and 57 per cent of Sky Deutschland. If the deal goes through, Sky would be required to make a takeover offer to shareholders owning the other 43 per cent and expects to do this without offering a premium.

I had thought about it for over ten years, but never had the money. Then, my mom offered to pay for a lap band. I went to the seminar and wasn't impressed - I knew I could "cheat" it. (Right there I knew I wasn't ready, too, if I was figuring out how to get around it...) I dropped the idea and went on with my life... Fast forward about 8 years when I had a blood clot (from being so overweight and sedentary) which broke apart and caused me to have pulmonary emboli all around my heart. There I was, 375 pounds, in the ICU, unable to get out of bed, with 3 young children who couldn't see me due to ICU rules. The room had ceiling -to-floor windows, and all but the bottom two feet were mirrored, so I could see them, but they couldn't see me. There those little kids were, on hands and knees, waving to me and blowing kisses, while I sat in bed waving back, not sure if I'd live or die (for the first few days, anyway...).
Can you imagine, even after THAT, I couldn't manage to lose more than 20 pounds without giving up and gaining it back?
Fast forward about a year later, and I was on vacation at Baltimore's inner Harbor. Mind you, we had to drive because I would not try to fly at my size; how embarrassing THAT would be... It was a warm day, and we had to walk maybe 1/4 mile to get to - where else - a restaurant... Well, that walk was the most painful of my life. Literally every cell in my body was screaming by the time we got to the destination. I was on 2 different blood pressure meds at the time, and truly believed I would have passed out if not for them. When we finally made it back to our car and I hauled myself behind the steering wheel I knew. I knew I had to try something else, because I was fairly certain I was dying. My kids were still very young. I was relatively young, but I was going to die and leave them without a mother. That was June of 2010. July I went to an informational seminar about WLS. Thank God my insurance at the time covered 75% of the cost. I had the surgery on 11/08/10. I lost 160 pounds the first year and an additional 46 pounds the second year. I exercise faithfully and I eat very carefully 90% of the time. I can now run 1/4 mile without stopping...I can run a whole mile without stopping... I can run and play with my kids. I can walk into 99% of stores and buy clothes off the rack. I am not on blood pressure meds, and haven't been for several years. It hasn't been easy, and I learn as I go...but I would still do it over again in a heartbeat. I am a totally new person and I am forever grateful for gastric bypass. It isn't a "cure;" it is a second chance that I absolutely needed. Thank God I did what I needed to do; I wouldn't be alive today if I hadn't done it.
The big question is: How badly do you want this!?!
"If it was easy everybody would be doing it." --Me!
All that we are is the result of what we have thought...What we think we become. Buddha
The "easy way out" is the toughest thing I've ever done.

I am in the final weeks of my pre-op program. With luck, I will have my surgery in late June.
I have toyed with this idea for nearly 10 years. I always thought I could do it myself, and low-carb was probably the closest that I ever came. I truly do believe that low carb is the way humans should eat, and I feel best when I eat this way. But my loss on low carb has always been very, very slow. I have made it to 50 pounds lost, twice, but just lost focus and motivation because it took so long and because (let's be real) I was still overweight after that 50 pounds came off and the dedication it took to get there was something I just couldn't sustain. Bottom line is I need an additional tool and the restrictive nature of surgery is it.
I look back on my entire adult life, and I have never been not-overweight. I need to take extreme measures because my health and my happiness are in danger of going down the tubes. I was told by my doctor that if I have the surgery now, when I am still relatively young and healthy (45, with the beginning of high BP, high cholesteral and pre-diabetes) that I have a good chance of avoiding long-term health problems. I decided that since I have health insurance that will cover it, and plenty of sick time saved, that I shouldn't wait any longer.
Once I decided, I knew it was the right decision. I'm excited and looking forward to the changes.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
Way too much time on my hands!

I've had problems with my weight all my life, but it wasn't until the last 2 years that I became "obese". I started thinking of WLS over a year ago, meanwhile still trying to lose weight on my own, but only gaining. Finally told my husband I was doing this, and started the process of the monthly doctor weigh-ins/talk in December 2013. My surgery is in 5 days now

For years I didn't think I would even consider surgery. I tried everything under the sun. When I was younger I could lose weight easily but I always gained it back becuase I didn't stay on program. Something that I think we can all realte. As I got older I found it harder and harder to lose weight. I did do well on low carb the first time. I lost a lot of weight and it was the first program that I coudl really stick to. I followed it religiously for 5 years and really learned a lot about heating whole and healthy foods that have stuck eith me to this day, but I still slowly started to gain wegiht back. After a few years of slow steady gain I got scared and went off low carb to try other things to try to stop the weight gain. Carb Addicts, WW core, WW points, etc, but not matter what I tried I just started gaining more and faster. I was making healthy choices when eating all the time but I was just gaining and gaining. I couldn't cut back portions/calories enough to lose weight and be able to sustain it. That was my achilles heal. Portions. I had to eat so much to be able to be satisfired where I didn't obsess about food and ultimatly fall off the wagon.
That is when my PCP suggested weight loss surgery. I was reluctant but started reseaching it and looked into it for months before going to my first information session. The farther I got into it I decided I thought it was the right choice for me. I understood that It wouldn't be an easy fix and that I may not succeed with this either, but I decided that at this point of my life it was worth the try. I was 52 and had stuggled with my weight all my life and I felt for the firt time that I was starting to run out of time to really start enjoying life. I was sick of not being able to do things I wanted becuase of my weight. So I finally pulled the trigger and had surgery last year. So far I am loving my decision I am finally at a weight that I feel free to really enjoy life for the the first time. I was lucky. I had a pretty smoth process with everything sp far, that is not the case weith everyone. I am at the point that I am starting to think about maintaining. That is the scrary part. That is the part that I have never been able to do before and it scares me like you don't belive, but I am thankful that I have this added tool to help me work towards having a healthy life for the rest of my life.
I don't think it is necessarily the right choice for everyone, and only time will tell if it was the right choice for me. Do your research, think about the consequences and the benifits. Make sure you are committed to making healthy food choices and make the decision that is right for you.
Good luck!

I had looked into surgery but it always scared me. I even posted a thread here, years ago. I took surgery very seriously and decided it wasn't for me, I could do it on my own if I really tried.
Three years later my sister OD'd and I realized how unhappy I was in my own life.
The very next day I heard a radio show about WLS. They laid out the cold, cruel fact: people who do not have WLS have less than a 5% chance of ever losing the weight and keeping it off. Not that WLS is a magic bullet (it's NOT) but the show slapped me in the face with one very clear message: WLS was my only option to lose weight.
Nearly 140 lbs lighter, two years later, it was absolutely the right decision.
Good luck with making your decision. Ask lots of questions.

1999, saw Roseanne Barr talking about her surgery made up my mind then and there I was sick of yo-yo. Being a self pay made the situation much easier as I did not have to go through Insurance hoops.I made the decision in February and had the surgery in May of that year. Right after I had my surgery Carny Wilson went public with hers. Of the three I'd say I fared best.At 145 today I still wish and continue to try and reach my goal weight of 130. I am currently working on my Master's degree in Vocational Education. I never would have gone back to school at 285lbs. I've been to Turkey, Greece and other points in the Medetteranian and this year I will be going to Viet Nam and Guatamala. Just being able to fit behind a desk and sit safely in an airplane cannot be underestimated!
