Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Several years ago I was reported to CPS because one of my children went to school and was talking about how he looked at his brothers private areas. The children were 11 & 8 and it happend while they were in my home in their bedroom. They were showing each other thier private areas. CPS investigated and the case was indicated on me for lack of supervision.
My husband has custody of his daughter who the mother has not been involved with for over a year. My husband has sole custody and the mother is only allowed supervised visits which she does not exercise. I want to adopt my stepdaughter but I know the biological mother will not consent.
Do I have a shot at the courts terminating her rights so I can adopt her with my past CPS indicated case?
Otherwise never been in trouble at all.
Whether the mother's rights may be involuntarily terminated is a separate issue from whether you may be approved as an adoptive parent. Neither question can be answered without a thorough review of all the circumstances and the relevant court documents. As such, I suggest you consult with a local attorney to review all your rights, options and obligations before you take any further action. You can find attorneys in your area by searching among the profiles here on AVVO. Good luck!

I don't think I would make a special trip across the island to visit Rose Blanche, but if you're in the area, try to plan a little extra time heading to or from the ferry to see the lighthouse. If you like NL history or lighthouses, you'll enjoy this quick stop. The drive is nice as well!
On our way south from GMNP to Port-aux-Basques we arrived at the tourist bureau office in the late afternoon and asked them what we could do whilst waiting for the 11:45 PM ferry to North Sydney. They suggested we take the drive out to Rose Blanche to see the lighthouse.
It was actually pretty easy to get to - head...
This lighthouse is well worth seeing, even if it's a little off the beaten path. The trail is not difficult and signs explain the history of ship wreaks and the brave people who saved lives. The views are gorgeous!
My husband and I were in Rose Blanch for 13 days, we visited the lighthouse about 6 times. We saw it with varying weather conditions...rain, fog, glorious sunshine, high winds, it was different every time. The ladies in the gift shop were lovely and friendly and the items for sale were unique and varied. The trail and observation lookouts were...
This is about a 45 minute drive from Port Aux Basque. There is a $6 charge to get in. The site is gorgeous when the sun is out which it was when we were there. ( I think everything in Newfoundland looked awesome in the sun). It is a stone lighthouse that has been redone. It is "cute" inside. The...
This unique lighthouse is a must-see. The hike to it and around it will be some of the most beautiful and unique scenery you will see in Newfoundland!
What a lovely several hours we spent driving along the granite coast. Gorgeous scenery along the narrow, worn road. The walk to the lighthouse was delightful, with all the vegetation identified with labels along the way. The ocean below the huge rocky coastline provided me with many beautiful photos after I enjoyed just sitting for a time, breathing the salty...
It is located a short beautiful drive from Port Aux Basque. Last time I saw the lighthouse it was not much more than a pile of rubble. The restoration was expertly done and the building is a great attraction. Short trail walk provides great views of a small village in the distance (Petites) which had residents relocated some years ago....
While I personally think all lighthouses are worth visiting, what makes this one special is that it was essentially in ruins except for the light tower until a group undertook to restore it. There's a video as part of the visit the explains the restoration and apparently about 80% of the lighthouse rocks had fallen and were strewn about the...
We drove to the parking lot where there is also a small but interesting shop and washrooms. There are several paths to the lighthouse which is a reconstruction of the original lighthouse. One can enter and explore the rooms as they were originally. Along the paths there are some signs telling about the history of the lighthouse and also some...

Two days later during recess, when Molly was crouched in a corner in the washroom with her hands covering her face, trying not to cry, she heard a voice.
"Hello? Are you okay?" Asked the voice. Molly looked up from her hands over her face, and saw a girl looking down at her, concerned. It was a girl Molly had never seen before. "I'm Sasha. what's your name?" She asked.
"M-Molly..." She replied. Sasha smiled at Molly.
"Why are you crying, Molly?" She asked. Molly didn't reply. "Don't worry about it. It'll be alright. We can be friends, right?" She asked. Molly stared in disbelief at Sasha.
"Sure." Molly answered, unsure if Sasha's request was a prank or not. Instead of laughing and claiming it was a prank, Sasha smiled at Molly and sat beside her, the entire recess. Molly smiled the entire time.
When Molly got home from school, she found some paper and a pencil to draw with. She took the pencil, and started to draw.
When her father got home late at night, Molly showed her father the picture and explained that she got a new friend named Sasha.
"Disgusting." Her father called it, and took the drawing from Molly's hands. He crumpled it up in his hands, and threw it into the trash.
Later that night, when Molly's father was asleep on the couch, Molly found her drawing in the trash and brought it up into her room. She fell asleep soon after that.

Joe, Beth,
Another non-streaky that produces variegated seedlings is H. 'Snow Flakes', an all-green hosta. About 1 in 10 of its seedlings are variegated. The variegation is speckled and is somewhat viridescent. The seedlings of one of my speckled H. 'Snow Flake' F1 plants were 100% speckled (around 40 seedlings). According to Bob Solberg, about 10% of H. 'Sweet Susan' seedlings are variegated as well. I haven't verified this myself yet. There may be more out there as well.
Sorry no answers, just more conflicting data.

There is a streaked Little Wonder that does for sure but supposedly so will

Frosty Paws Dog Ice Cream Recipe
Because dogs have trouble digesting the lactose in ice cream, it isn't a fun treat for dogs at all! However, we have several recipes we've tested that take all the fun of ice cream and make it into a safe treat you can make for or even share with your dog!
One of our favorite Frosty Paws recipes, (and the go-to recipe if you are trying to copy the commercial treat called Frosty Paws) is:
Recipe For Peanut Honey Yogurt Bones
32 oz. plain yogurt
1 mashed banana
2 Tablespoons peanut butter
2 Tablespoons honey
1. Mix all these ingredients in your blender, then pour into ice cube trays or even a kong toy to freeze and serve. Be sure the mold you freeze your treat into is either 1. large enough that your dog won't be able to swallow it whole when frozen solid. or 2. Shaped, like our bone ice cube trays, with slender sections so it can be crunched easier.
2. If you want to go all out for your mutt you can freeze these homemade frosty paws just like you would homemade ice cream. A salt-less automatic ice cream maker makes this as easy as using any other appliance in your home and the frosty paws will be ready to serve in 10 minutes.
For the ultimate treat, appropriate for dessert at a doggy birthday party, follow steps one and two, then take the mostly frozen dog ice cream product of number two and spread it about 1.5 inches thick on wax paper. Freeze for 5-10 minutes and then remove from freezer. Next, use a paw shaped cookie cutter to cut a paw shaped "frosty paws", remove ice cream around edges, and return paw shapes to the freezer to freeze solid.
Basic Substitutions for Creating your Own Dog Ice Cream Recipes:
Typical Ice Cream includes Dairy (Milk or Cream), Eggs, and Sugar. When making Frosty Paws (a dog friendly alternative to ice cream) you'll want to subsitute most of those items:
|Yogurt is a safe substitute for milk. The probiotics are great for your dog's digestive health, and this "good bacteria" breaks down most of the lactose by the time the yogurt is served.
|Sugar is not safe for dogs, but bananas, berries, apples, and other dog safe fruits can substitute in to make a sweet treat for your dog. A small amount of honey can sweeten the frosty paws while still being healthy for your dog- and is a great way to make the treat a favorite of pets AND kids! Keep in mind that your dog won't mind if the ice cream isn't sweet. Savory flavors can be added with low sodium chicken or beef broth, peanut butter, or even (if you are brave enough to prepare it!) liver.
|Eggs– Dogs love eggs, and eggs are a fantastic nutritious treat. If you blend your Dog Ice Cream, toss an raw egg in the blender! (If your eggs are organic- include the shell for a boost of calcium that mimics what your pet would get by crunching raw bones in nature- Although some dogs may object to the texture of this addition)

We eat here twice and enjoyed the experience on both occasions. The food is good and the service was very attentive. I particularly liked the duck.
Our group ate here twice on a recent business trip. They have set menus, and plenty of variety -- including massive steaks if you are in the mood. I recommend sharing!
I had originally intended to go to another restaurant nearby, but that was closed. Meson Cobarcho proved a very acceptable alternative. I ate off the carta and a very nice and ample salad was followed by a good dorado en sal - though a little of the sal was still attached to the fish! But overall it was a good...
The food was disappointing for the price paid (the 19.95 menu) El Porton is opposite and is far better for less money. Seven of us ate at Corbacho and no-one was impressed with any of the dishes. The flan was particularly tasteless.
At 8 o'clock sixteen plates of Pintxos were set on the bat. They were absolutely beautiful and very good. Very inexpensive and worth stopping in for a treat. Best we saw in Jaca.
We were attracted by the seafood paella on the menu for 18euros per person and the nice terrace for lunch.
The seafood turned out to be quite bland.. but really that was not the issue. The problem was that we were infested by a ton of flies while we were eating it! It was pretty revolting and mostly annoying. When...

Abby: Dealing with Marc
Abby sat on the bed in the room she knew Marc would be renting tonight. He just didn't know it yet. She folded her arms across her chest, and took several deep breaths, calming her anger. She let Marc leave the castle, so she would have time to control herself. She soooo wanted to dump him in the tower of London a thousand years ago. Unfortunately that would screw up the universal timeline, which was her entire purpose in life to prevent.
She stood up and went to the mirror over the bureau. Right now she looked like a middle aged woman, someone Marcus would see as a grandmotherly type. She had considered looking more his age, but the brassy little pup kept hitting on her. He probably thought that women liked to be flirted with, or flattered outrageously. It didn't even occur to him how transparent and phoney he was. He didn't know how disrespectful his attitude was. That came from a lack of male influence in his life. There were several older forecasters that could take him under their wing, but she doubted he would agree to that right away. Marcus was under the mistaken impression that he could just take off any time he wanted to. He was about to learn otherwise. She stood by the bed and greeted him as he entered the room from the hallway.
"Hello Marcus."
"AAAAArgh!"he screamed and dropped his duffle bag of gear. "I thought you were going to wait until morning," he said when he had recovered from his fright.
"I never said that. I allowed you to come here so we could have some privacy. You seem to think you can bubble away from any situation you're not happy with. That's not true. You weren't happy with the the situation in Wales, and yet you weren't able to avoid that fast enough. You were nearly killed."
"Y ... you know about that?"
"Yes, and a lot of other things about you that you don't even know. We've had our eyes on you for a very long time now. I was ready to take you out of Wales before anything bad happened, but I was working on the assumption that you were going to do as your mother told you, and stay out of trouble. You were right in the thick of it before I could stop you."
"You know my mother?"
"Yes, Helen and I go back a couple of thousand years. We're both children of the gods, but my parents knew I had powers because I kept popping in and out of time. My mother, Diana had to teach me how to control it. Helen's father Apollo got her human mother pregnant and pretty much forgot she existed. When her human mother died, my mother and I kind of looked after her. When she grew to adulthood, she stopped aging, like me. She can't change her appearance like I can, but she's still immortal. She raised you and Augustus as best she could after your human father died. She's in hiding right now, and you know where she is. That's one of the secrets you're trying to hide from me, isn't it?
Marc slumped down on the bed, his head down. He didn't want to talk about his mother. He wanted to be left alone. He was still angry and frustrated about being cooped up at the castle, but he knew he wasn't going to get away that easily. She had all but threatened to take away his powers for disobeying house rules, and he couldn't take that chance. That's why he didn't go too far from the castle. He knew she would probably follow him, but he thought she would have at least waited until morning.
"I'm not going to tell you anything about my mother," he said defiantly.
"You don't have to. I already know more about her than you do. She has powers she hasn't always been able to control. She got herself into some trouble awhile back, that's why she's in hiding. A lot of people want to use her for their own gain. She's afraid that you and Marcus would be hurt if you were ever captured, that's why she left you alone as soon as she thought you were able to take care of yourself. Marcus looks like he's only a teenager, but he's seen a lot more living than you would ever imagine. He's partially immortal, like you. I know where Helen is. She's not at the last place you saw her, anymore. I took her to a safe place outside of this century. As long as she keeps a low profile, the timeline won't be harmed, and she'll be alright."
"She's not even in this century anymore? Couldn't you bring her to the castle to protect her, like Augustus and I?"
"I've asked her to come here, but she doesn't trust the organization. She only trusts me. She's the one who asked me to keep an eye on her two boys, when she was no longer able to do so. I only brought you here when you put yourselves in danger. You have three choices, Marcus. I can take you to your mother, and you can keep your powers. I must warn you that where she is isn't a modern society, so you'll have to stay out of sight most of the time. The second choice is that you get to leave the castle, but you'll lose your powers, and completely forget who you were. You'll still be immortal, but every human you get close to will die eventually. The third choice is that you stay at the castle, and obey the rules. You're valuable, but not valuable enough that you will be allowed to ride roughshod over everyone else. The choice is yours.

By Joan Biskupic, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court appeared poised to open the door to more corporate spending in political elections Wednesday, in a fast-paced special hearing over campaign-finance regulation.
If the conservative majority moves in that direction — which would mean reversing decisions that endorsed restrictions on corporations — it will not be without a fight. Liberals, including senior Justice John Paul Stevens, lodged vigorous counterarguments in the case that could transform the rules for corporate and labor union money in elections.
The special session revolved around a 2008 movie by the conservative group Citizens United that attacked Hillary Rodham Clinton when she ran for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hillary: The Movie presented 90 minutes of news clips and criticism of the former first lady. She lost the nomination to Barack Obama and is now secretary of State.
The case escalated during the presidential campaign when Citizens United sought to offer the movie through a TV video-on-demand service. The Federal Election Commission said it was subject to a 2002 law barring TV ads financed with corporate and labor union money close to an election.
Citizens United contended the FEC's move violated its rights of free political speech.
After the Supreme Court's first round of arguments in the case last spring, the justices asked the two sides to address the broader question of the constitutionality of limits on corporate spending in elections. That ratcheted up the stakes.
The tenor of Wednesday's arguments suggested that a majority might be ready to lift limits on corporate expenditures in races.
Chief Justice John Roberts voiced skepticism that the U.S. government had sufficient justification to target corporations and suggested the disputed law swept too broadly.
"We don't put our First Amendment rights in the hands of FEC bureaucrats," Roberts said, worried about how far the federal government could extend the law.
His view seemed shared by Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito. Justice Clarence Thomas, the only one who did not ask questions, usually votes against regulation of campaign money.
Lawyer Theodore Olson, who represented Citizens United, insisted at the outset that "robust debate about candidates for elective office is the most fundamental value protected by the First Amendment."
Justices Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg pressed him on why Congress could not treat corporations differently from individuals.
New Justice Sonia Sotomayor entered the fray 25 minutes into the 90-minute session to challenge Olson's assertion that campaign-finance regulation was a complicated system difficult to navigate.
"You make very impassioned arguments about why this is a bad system … but we don't have any record developed" in the litigation about alleged problems in the system, she said. She appeared unready to vote to change the rules, and asked whether doing so would interfere with state campaign regulation efforts and "the democratic process."
U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, defending the regulation and arguing her first case before the court, said Congress' interest in curbing corporate money in elections is long-standing: "For over 100 years, Congress has made a judgment that corporations must be subject to special rules when they participate in elections."
Kagan urged the court not to overturn a pivotal 1990 case in which it allowed states to bar corporations from using general treasury funds on candidates. The ruling in the case said, "Corporate wealth can unfairly influence elections."
Kennedy, who often is a swing vote in highly charged cases, is unlikely to play that role here. He dissented in the 1990 case and is suspicious of government regulation of campaign money. "There is no place where an ongoing chill (to speech) is more dangerous than in the elections context," he said.

"You have to have a passion for historic buildings - if you just want to make money, there are probably easier ways. But as a rewarding job, this is hard to be beat. I am one of three partners who run a practice based in Wiltshire.
"We specialise in conserving buildings of historic importance which takes us across the UK, Europe, and even into Israel. Yesterday was fairly typical. The National Trust asked me to look at a timber-framed house in Dorset. Now I am preparing a restoration plan.
"One of the great things is the variety of buildings we work on. They also vary considerably in age. We've worked on the restoration of a Roman bath near Hastings - the youngest was a 1930s modernist house in East London. Between the three of us we have most specialist areas covered. Mine is stonemasonry.
"From the start, my education has been conducted alongside my work. Originally, I wanted to be an architect, but early work experience soon put me off that route.
"When I left school, I started with BTEC building construction courses and it grew from there. I worked for a large stonemason specialising in conservation projects, and it paid for me to do my degree in building surveying.
"I stayed with the firm for nine years working on a variety of projects. When I set up on my own, I was fortunate to meet two other surveyors who shared the same philosophy and we started Ingram Consultancy. Naturally, I did the postgrad diploma part-time again. I studied at Bourne-mouth over two years and the course largely comprised 12 modules studied over long weekends.
"Whilst I love the work, there are a couple of downsides - one is travel, the other is pay. There just isn't much money in conservation. That said, it is tremendously rewarding and exciting returning buildings to their former glory.
"As soon as I get a new project I look at it, and the surrounding area, then look it up in Pevsner (a reference bible of historic buildings).
"His books are a wonderful record and we have the complete works. Quite often, on the way to a new job, I'll dive off down a small road to go and see an important building nearby."

New outlet center planned for southwest Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Tanger Factory Outlets announced on Wednesday that it's bringing its shops to the Queen City.
CEO Steven Tanger says the project will be an $80 million investment.
It's planning to build an 90-store outlet center right off Interstate 485, at Steele Creek Road.
The new outlets will create 300 construction jobs and more than 900 full- and part-time jobs when it opens.
The new shopping center will be much smaller than the area's other outlet, Concord Mills.
Greensboro-based Tanger operates or has an ownership interest in 39 outlet centers in 25 states and Canada.
The project is slated to be finished in 2014.
The company would not say which retailers it is lining up but said it would be similar to its existing centers. Tanger's Mebane center includes outlets from Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, Lane Bryant, Gap and Levi's.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Knowledge Generation Bureau, or kgb, is visiting 18 cities to introduce consumers to their new 542542 text answer service, which answers any question on any topic in minutes. kgb CEO Bruce Stewart says it's a natural extension of his company's directory assistance service, which handles 411 calls for several carriers.
"We purchased ten Smart cars, you know, the small little Smart cars—very green, right? We're just taking our message out and introducing kgb, the service — and the brand and the company — to people in a fun way. How, in their daily lives, you know, texting a question that they might have to 542542 can become a daily part of their schedule. It's a combination of technology plus a human-powered sort of search. And while you go and multi-task, which everybody's doing all the time on their phones anyway, and let us do the heavy lifting and find that answer for you."
It's a fee-based service — 99 cents per answer.
"When people are mobile and they're on their mobile devices, sometimes it's awfully difficult to get it in a traditional search model on the mobile phone. They may say 'what is the the Spanish word or the Japanese word or the Chinese word for 'blank,' and so they could be looking for a simple English-to-another-language translation. We see that. Your kid asks you kind of a question like 'why is the sky blue?' And you're like 'gee, that's a great one. Let me see if kgb can help me out and answer my five-year-old's 'why is the sky blue' question."
Kgb's 542542 text answer service was launched in January with a suite of information services that deliver information by text, Web and mobile applications.

SoundOFF! On ImpulsivityApril 1, 2017, 4:11 pm
THE QUESTION: The bipolar symptom of impulsivity can upend your life in ways both large and small. What helps you stay away from rash decisions? And...
bp readers respond.
I'm bipolar and I've been on just about every combination of medications possible. I've always battled suicidal thoughts, so my psychiatrist suggested ECT. Most people get between six and 12 treatments; eight seem to work best for me. It's totally painless. You get anesthesia and a muscle relaxer. The doctors give you a 30-second seizure; your toe twitches, (indicating to the medical personnel that the seizure is occurring) and when it stops the treatment is over. Most people experience some memory loss, but ECT has saved my life. It's perfect for people who are medication-resistant or pregnant and can't take any medication. It's well worth it!
—W. F. Y., Scottsdale, AZ
I have been treated with ECT multiple times. Sometimes it has been okay; sometimes it has been dreadful. My most recent round of treatments was this past summer when I was manic and psychotic. It was hard for me to admit that I needed ECT. I hate the treatments, especially the loss of control that comes from being unconscious. I also experience cognitive problems when I'm having treatments. I have to admit, however, that ECT has worked at times when nothing else did. After eight weeks of treatments this past summer, I am psychosis-free for the first time in a long while.
—M. H., St. Louis, MO
I was diagnosed as having bipolar II disorder in 1998. I underwent a series of 12 ECT treatments during a depressive episode in early 2004, following my third suicide attempt. My depression has been milder since the treatments, and I also seem to have lost any trace of the hypomania that I used to have for brief periods of time. Also, a nasty side effect was the almost complete memory loss of the years 2002 and 2003 (I feel like I completely missed my son's toddler years) and some milder but still noticeable memory loss from earlier years. All in all, I think the ECT was successful in getting rid of my major mood swings, but I miss my hypomania, and feel "flat" at best. I also don't like the amnesia, but feel there is not much I can do to change anything now.
—A.N., Chicago, IL
I am a diagnosed rapid-cycling bipolar sufferer, who also is a licensed RN. My diagnosis and treatment began more than 16 years ago. It was my luck to secure a psychiatrist who specialized in bipolar. I remain in very capable hands to this day. After trying many medications with minimal results, ECT was recommended. It is not the outdated barbaric attempt of yesterday at relieving the very crippling symptoms associated with mental illness. It is completely painless and done under anesthesia, and is without the many side effects experienced with medications used to treat mental illness. It is my psychiatrist's opinion that the results were disappointing for me. It is my opinion that ECT was effective in jump-starting the brain, causing more effectiveness with medication and talk-therapy. Other acquaintances swear by the results of their ECT treatments that relieved depressed states, suicidal thoughts, and mood cycling. For some, the results are quite impressive. ECT needs to remain a viable option of treatment for severe depression and bipolar sufferers.
—P.M.D., RN, Mequon, WI
I have gone through rounds of both unilateral and bilateral ECT. In my last round, I had 19 treatments, but results were short-lived. I have experienced another episode of depression, but the doctors have said there is no sense in trying the treatments again. The biggest problem I had is major memory loss, both short and long term. I am saddened that I can't even remember things like my own college graduation.
—H.M., Baltimore, MD
While ECT may be controversial, it was a lifesaver for me. My cycling had been getting out of control, and I was having trouble sleeping. My doctor kept adding more and more medications to my growing cocktail of drugs, but it was to no avail. It reached the point of toxicity. Then I went for four nights without as much as a moment of sleep. That's when ECT was recommended. As scared as I was, within a few treatments, I was sleeping like a baby and my prescriptions had been cut back to one-third of what I had been taking.
—S.K., Guilford, CT
In a recent episode of major depression, I resolved myself to undergo ECT. I was on six different medications to treat my dysthymia, but nothing was helping, and I was declining rapidly. I know that ECT is a "last resort" and that was where I was. My doctor suggested that I first try rTMS (repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimulation), which was being researched at the University of Florida. I was accepted into the study and received the treatments each weekday for two weeks. By the third day I felt lighter, my eyes opened a little wider, and I was able to sleep through the night. Now, three months later, I am on less than a third of my meds, and I can sleep through the night without needing medicine. This treatment saved my life and only took 20 minutes for 10 days. I have been on antidepressants for the last 14 years. I have never felt the way I have since this treatment. There is hope. For those who need it, rTMS is a wonderful alternative to ECT.
—L.D., Gainesville, FL
Two years ago, I received 12 bilateral ECT treatments in our local hospital. "Informed consent" is not at all what it should be. What I have had to adjust to, adapt to, and manage with since then, and the damage done to me are not at all what I consented to, nor was informed of. I never had considered ECT. I can only figure I was desperate, and urge everyone who has not had it to research it now, fully, before you are put in such a vulnerable situation with no resources available. The depressive side sucks the life out of us, and we put our lives in the hands of those who tell us more about our meds than this procedure. My own strength and determination have brought me a long way on my own since then, although nowhere near how I was. I worry greatly about those who cannot speak up, or fear speaking up.
—K.L., Oakville, ON
Over seven months in 1999, I received 21 sessions of primarily bilateral lobe ECT. In March 2005, I went in for a series of primarily unilateral ECT treatments. I had five unilateral and one bilateral over the course of two months. I am a strong advocate of ECT because it took me out of deep, dark depressions that medicine alone could not do. Personally, I had fewer cognitive side effects such as memory loss, poor attention, and executive functioning, from the unilateral ECT as opposed to the bilateral ECT.
—L.W. Bobo, Pullman, WA
When I was five years old and in kindergarten, I became ill. No one knew what was wrong with me. We had never heard of mental illness. I ended up not being diagnosed with schizoaffective/bipolar disorder until my teen years. I did not receive proper medications until 1999. As a result of the effect my early illness had on my development, my illness is quite severe and disabling. When I was 16 years old, I fell into a very deep psychosis, thinking I had died and gone to hell. I had been hospitalized for nearly three months when my doctor suggested ECT to my parents. We ended up in court to get approval for ECT. After only a few treatments, I began to slowly pull out of my psychosis. Within a month I was out of the hospital and beginning a long process of recovering from the devastating event. Without ECT I don't know where I would be today. I do think, however, that ECT should be a last resort due to the chunks of memory that can be deleted from one's mind forever. I not only had memory loss for the time around the ECT treatments, but I also had chunks of my life I could not remember at all. I do think ECT should be available as a treatment, as it may be the only thing that works for someone.
—L.R.E., Prairie du Rocher, IL
I am a 60-year-old woman who has rapid-cycling, mixed state bipolar I that was diagnosed 25 years ago. In 1989, I had reached a state where all medications then available to treat bipolar were having little or no effect on me. I was given a series of five sets of 12 bilateral ECT treatments, followed by monthly booster treatments for the next six years. The result—I am today a healthy, functioning, and successful woman, having worked for 40 years (some very difficult, others quite productive) in important administrative positions. In addition to maintaining my professional skill, my life has become much happier, much more satisfying—emotionally, psychologically, and socially.
—J.T.K., Bella Vista, AR
I am a 47-year-old woman who has bipolar II disorder. In 2002, I experienced a severe depression with psychosis. I was admitted to a forensic mental health hospital and treated with ECT. For me, ECT was a wonderful treatment that brought me back to life. My treatment consisted of six sessions and by the fourth session I told the staff that I could be the poster child for ECT. Yes, I had some memory loss, but whether this was the result of ECT or a reflection of my severe psychosis remains unclear. Since then, I have shared my experiences with ECT with several other women. It is my hope that with education people will see beyond the horrible and often antiquated portrayals of ECT and consider it as a humane treatment that continues to have a role in treating severe depression.
—E.F., Elgin, IL
From 1998 to 2000, I had more than 70 ECTs for the treatment of bipolar disorder. At the time, it was the only thing keeping me alive because all other medications had failed. I had them every other day or three times a week for several months. However, the symptoms would come back after two or three days. At the time of treatment, I lost all short-term and some long-term memory, like my wedding and the birth of my three children. I was unable to do simple things like cook or go to and from the grocery store without getting lost. I now take five medications just to function. It has been five years, and I don't see any positive effect on my illness or the severity of it due to ECTs.
—L.G., Colorado Springs, CO
Printed as "SOUNDOFF! ECT", Winter 2006
I read positive reviews and just sit here feeling totally invalidated. ECT did not work for me. I had 7 rounds of bilateral ect and one month later nearly succeeded at taking my life. I was on a respirator and in the ICU. I still don't feel like I am myself. It totally destroyed my creativity. I can't add large sums anymore in my head. I forget things so much. when people talk about things that happened like I should know, i don't. It is the BARBARIC treatment of yesterday. In fact, don't be fooled…it is worse. they have to use more shock to overcome the muscle relaxers and anesthesia. What made it worse on the body was the violent seizures. They relax you. But because of that they have to use more juice to overcome that. I woke up with horrible headaches and vomiting according to my Mother who cared for me. I don't remember a lot of it. I just feel like I am not totally here. Like I am disconnected from everyone. I eventually cycled again into mania a few months later and am now trying to control that. I am glad some of these people are still euphoric from the brain damage and feel it saved them. But what i worry about is in 20 years what it does to people. i can say from my side, NEVER again. I feel like a shell of myself. I am glad I didn't succeed and sometimes I wish I did. I am just glad God gave me another chance. I was dead in that trauma unit. They brought me back and I am here. I try really hard not to feel hopeless because of the love I felt. I just wish I was myself again and wonder when my intelligence will be normal again.
Kate, I feel the same way. I read these ECT success stories and am wondering if I even had the same treatment as these people… I did 18 bilateral treatments over 3 months. ECT was painful (6 hour post treatment migraines), my executive functioning skills are drastically diminished and years of my memory have been wiped away. I get lost trying to find the supermarket where I have gone for years. I can't do simple math or comprehend basic instructions or follow a story somebody tells me. I don't remember my daughters' childhoods. I see photos of vacations we took and am disturbed that I have no recollections. I was told this would all come back but it hasn't. I was sold a bill of goods are a very high price and regret it. I don't even feel less depressed, in fact more depressed because of the memory loss and lack of mental clarity and ability.
I was diagnosed manic depressive 20 years ago. My parents never accepted this to be a real condition as it would tarnish their parenting skills I suppose. They are both dead, and neither one ever believed I was sick. Swimming upstream is an understatement, considering they were both manic depressives, and Dad was also an alcoholic.
It's a curse. Especially after having ECT. I went from a 6 figure income working 80 hrs a week, to working 8 hr weeks earning $15.00.
I have depression resistant to medicine, taken everything imaginable for the illness, and I still can't manage it. And I married an undiagnosed bipolar man years ago- shocker. ECT has caused memory loss, feeding the monster and a 40 year old to feel like they have dementia. My mood swings are worse, and it took me from zombie to really sad and depressed zombie- It is an expensive disorder, the meds, the mania, the scrapes with law, etc. Yet, insurance is really shitty about helping us get enough talk therapy to get off SSDi and integrate into society. I'm tired of being blase, bored, tired, and mean. ECT made my condition worse- I had 2 different sessions of 25 rounds. A person on disability is supposed to pay a 15,000 anesthesia bill? I don't think so. My husband and I never had kids, because it sucks to have this disorder, and I refuse to bring a life into this world to be miserable and struggle if I can help it. Am I glad I was born , yes. Am I glad I never had children, yes. Seems the only way to stop the madness
I am a 53 year old with rapid cycling BPII. Medications either did nothing to stop the cycling or had intolerable side effects (i.e., Lithium). Since I was planning to enter a rigorous health-related college program at the end of the summer, I discussed ECT with my doctor in the spring as a possible way to get the rapid cycling under control before I entered school. I completed 6 unilateral treatments on an outpatient basis during a mild depressive phase. I didn't notice much memory loss or uncomfortable side-effects from these treatments, but I didn't notice any improvements in mood, either. In fact, I felt a little more depressed than when I started. I spoke with my doctor again, who recommended going to bilateral treatments on an inpatient basis, which I reluctantly agreed to. I spent a month in a psychiatric hospital receiving treatments three times a week. Each one made me feel worse from a mood perspective and seemed to cause increasing cognitive/memory impairment. When I got to bilateral treatment 7, I was completely suicidal and would have acted without hesitation or remorse had I been outside the controlled hospital environment. Still, my doctor urged me to try to get at least 10 bilateral treatments done. I submitted to the 8th, but it was then I knew I had to stop because I actually formulated a plausible plan for how I could kill myself in the hospital despite all of the controls and precautions built into that environment. I declared that I was done with ECT and went back on meds the next day. I felt orders of magnitude better after that. Even so, I'm still struggling with some depression, and I'm amazed at how difficult it is for me to concentrate, get things done, and learn new information. Retrograde amnesia is also present, and it causes great frustration and confusion because it largely affects everyday procedural information such as how to charge an iPhone or drive to the supermarket. In summary, I knew that ECT might not work and might cause some memory problems, but the promotional video did not highlight the possibility that it might make depression about as bad as it can possibly get or destroy my ability to think and learn. I start school in less than 2 weeks and have no idea how I'll get through it at this point. I'm glad other people have found peace and healing from ECT, but it was probably the worse possible treatment for me personally.
Lisa, I just had 4-unilateral ect treatments & am scheduled for more, expecting 9-12 to be the magic number. But like you, I am feeling much worse after starting them! I started with mild depression & such but cope able. Now, after the 3rd & 4th ECT I've hit a deep depression, I feel absolutely crazy, I cry constantly–in public or anywhere, & I enter 5 hours periods of crying so hard my head & face swell! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK OR WHOSE OPINION IF ANYONE I SHOULD TRUST?!!! Like you, I've been going back to college & now after just a few ECT treatments I feel like I've lost half my intelligence & functional abilities at even such things as making a simple meal,,,for 2 weeks I've gone to just eating sweets & junk. I'm so scared. My intelligence is all I had, good God if that's what I just sacrificed, it's not worth living!!
I also received "informed consent" for treatment of major depressive disorder , now over a year later, I still cannot function. I cannot learn new things, I am unable to navigate my own neighborhood & often get lost. I have both long term & short term memory loss. This in it of itself is making my depression worse – I am sad everyday that my suicide attempt wasn't successful – I will be more diligent next time .
I was hospitalized at the end of 2012, beginning of 2013 for severe depression and anxiety. The doctor who did my intake in the hospital, after reading some of my background and listening to me for what it was worth, told me that she thought I might benefit from ECT. I was only told that it supposedly had good results in helping with depression, and by that time, I had been suffering from incredibly severe depression for around four years at that point, and I was desperate. I wanted to get back to a normal life, even if was even slightly more normal. The doctor who was in charge of my treatment went over, what I then thought was in depth detail, what the procedure would be like, the side effects, etc. Both my mom, dad, and I were really hesitant about the idea of doctors inducing a seizure in my brain. I was terrified at the aspect, and I could tell my parents were no better, but it was like someone had thrown me a rope and the only options I had were to either grab it and move towards something terrifying and uncertain, or drop the rope and surely drown. I still remember all the details leading up to being brought into the room, I can still remember and see it now sometimes when I close my eyes. Know what I can't remember though? Something I did literally 30 seconds ago, even a couple months after treatment stopped–which I cut off early due to memory impairments–I could barely do any homework for school. I would slave away for hours trying to read through 10-15 pages of a chapter because each time I would turn to the next page, I could hardly remember what I had just read. It was a continuous dance, 1 page forward, 1 page back, reread the original page, possibly go back to the previous page again, and if I was lucky–move on to the next page and then repeat the cycle. What would have taken me maybe 30 minutes to read and annotate turned into an hour or more. My sleep became worse because I'd keep myself up late to compensate for my slower memory retention. It's been 3-4 years since I had elective seizures and it did nothing to help. Nothing at all. It made things worse for me, I came out of the hospital more depressed than when I went in because I could barely remember anything. I felt like a little kid, did I remember to take my medicine? Did I shut the light off in my room? I couldn't recall where I had set a pen down on the table I was sitting out, I'd get up and start looking around thinking I had gotten up and brought it with me; when in actuality, I had been sitting at the table for a number of hours. My memory has gotten much better since then, but I still struggle at times. I was never good at remembering names, but even now I sometimes can't remember the names of my aunts or uncles on the other side of my family who I only see on Christmas Eve despite the fact that I have seen them every year for 21 years. I still get muscle spasms, I don't know if those are linked to side effects that I still feel from that poor excuse for a treatment, but I began noticing them more frequently after having those procedures done.
Like Lisa, I'm incredibly happy for those who have found relief through ECT and have had positive results; but for me, it was one of the worst decisions of my life.
Katie, I just replied above to Lisa's post, then read yours. I'm feeling worse at this point & don't know WHY?! Or what to do. I wish for Gods sake somebody could say why ECT would make any of us MORE DEPRESSED??! I'm curious, did you have bilateral or unilateral? How many treatments total did you do? Thanks
I have suffered bipolar & medication resistant depression for over 25 yrs. Why I am still here only God knows. I had resisted ECT therapy all these years, until last spring. My depression was so severe, I couldn't hold a lucid thought in my head.
My doctor told me I would be significantly better after 4 or 5 treatments. Initially I was to have 12 treatments. After 20 treatments, I am still as depressed & desperate as ever. His answer was to resume treatments. Needless to say I am looking for another Dr. and praying for a miracle.
I have experienced depression for most of my life (from childhood). I knew the time had come to try something – anything- that could bring me some relief. And it worked! I have been through countless difficult experiences since ECT, but they have not brought me to that point of total incapacity. And that includes the death of my husband after 39 years of marriage. Yes, I resumed therapy but I have not needed ect again. Slight memory loss, nothing significant. The only drawback for me was that I could only be treated as an inpatient – 3 times a week for 8 weeks. God willing, with the help of my terrific therapist and effective meds I will never have to go through ect ever again.
I just finished 6 treatments of right unilateral ECT. I am bipolar 2 (bipolar 1) according to some doctors. My extremely heavy depression has lifted. I was 95 pounds and sleeping all day. Now I am hopeful I can go out and possibly get a job. I don't feel cognitively impaired. In fact, I feel much less cognitively impaired than I did when I was depressed. I hope it's not all a mania though; my manias can be very subtle. Oh and the anxiety is not fun. I can't drink coffee anymore without having a panic attack. But as I recall, that's normal for a baseline mood for me; tons of anxiety. And I'll take decaf with a side of the ability to function any day. I hope this is is helpful. I feel like most comments on the internet can be very skewed one way or another so I wanted to present a fair and balanced perspective.
As I'm reading this, I have become really sad and deeply disturbed. I though that this barbaric practice ceased together with Lobotomy's. To realize it still goes on and for bipolars, of which I am one, is just too much. Wish I had not looked,
Mum received this and when I was small boy, I remember her taking me to the hospital. She insisted they left the door open, so that I would not be frightened. Boy, it cerainly did something to me.
Before anyone shouts at me, please don't, I have read all the reviews saying how it has helped. I am just making a personal point and maybe, my early life experience, has formed this judgment.
Be nice, love you all, Marish X
What is a course of maintenance ECT considered to be? There are so many conflicting definitions even in scholarly journals!
I have done from what I can recall ECT treatment for about 2-3 years. On and off through the jump start series of 6 basically every other day to once a week or once a month or whenever the depression rears its ugly head. I have only been diagnosed bipolar for about 5-6 years. The ECT has without a doubt saved me from my depression part of my bipolar personality. I have tried every medication combination and only now since all the treatments had medications finally. The cost has been I have lost soo much memory from short term around the years of treatment to long term things big important memories. The birth of my child to my wedding to things surrounding my divorce. This part is maddening. I have a lot of déjà vu and trouble with identifying people I should really know. I long to find something else that will work for the future, but I am thankful for what the treatments did. If I had to do it again I probably would. Does anyone else out there who has had ECT have the trouble with identifying people or places? Also do you worry about having to go back to ECT during another depression episode? I have been manic for about a year now my doctor tells me that is better then depression. I don't necessarily agree. It just kinda makes me aware of what a pendulum swing into depression might look like. I keep trying to push it back. I am doing my best.
I had ECT in the 90's when I was in and out of the hospital with repeating episodes of mania and severe depression. It is the only thing that kept me a live. After an almost successful suicide attempt I was given quite a long course. I did have some short and long term memory loss. The short term improved with time. Later I was able to work quite successfully. I am now going through another severe depression which has been med resistant. The short term memory problems I have because of the depression is at least as bad as it was with the ECT. I am now getting ready to start a new round of ECT. Obviously, I would do it again. It is worth some memory loss to be able to function again and not spend months at a time thinking about dying. I'm sure that there are people who've had bad experiences but many of the people I have talked to have had more positive than negative experiences. It saved my life.
Well my bf who I've been with have suffered from bipolar all the girls in his past who he had been with never take him to treat his bipolar coz they love his mania about his money!!! But I think different I try to look up online to see his symptom which occur our relationship so bad and after I found out that he is bipolar then I asked him to have a treatment or end, he accepted my advice and have it treated in Thailand (that's where we met).
Life is up and down his hypomania become aggressive especially with me who he know that I will forgive him only if he said sorry after he smashed my head with table and fan etc (in Jan 2017)…
On this trip march 2017 he had asked me if he can has ECT done coz he didn't want to remember all the junk in his head, the doctor in new hospital have interviewed me for his condition which had been on bipo med for 6months but keep swinging like yoyo and of course that had already recorded by police the way he hurt me, the doctor accepted him after me begging for it. So far he had 2ECT sessions done and he refused to continue even though the session gotta be at least 4 with the new doctor and he claimed that ECT treatment is a trap to make people crazy!!?? I heard that everyday!! Nobody is good not even me!! However I would said my bf always wake up with a complained at everyone who in front of him to release his depression and he think like he is one genius never been beaten on earth and now I will try to give him med again and wait til he asking me again for ECT treatment which I think it effective more than 50% and I talk as a normal person who lived with bp man I can see the result better than the bipolar one I'm sure..every treatment at hospital can be painful and I been there but the result of it will make you proud afterward I believe like that.

Signs Reviews
This talented and, at 32, very young director must now find new ideas -- maybe working with someone else's scripts. Because his film-making identity is in danger of fading.
Shyamalan's by-now trademark spookiness is starting to play like a CD consciously designed to duplicate the success of an album that sold 10 million copies.
One of the most effective movies so far at capturing a jittery nation's case of the yips.
Sitting through the last reel (spoiler alert!) is significantly less charming than listening to a four-year-old with a taste for exaggeration recount his Halloween trip to the Haunted House.
Shyamalan fuses the fictional evidence of his extraterrestrials with the presumed righteousness of God in a way that will make no sense to anyone who has ever questioned either.
A heartfelt movie that deals more nakedly with [Shyamalan's] core concerns than any of his other Hollywood films, and it doubtlessly will deeply touch many people as well as frighten them.
For most of its footage, the new thriller proves that director M. Night Shyamalan can weave an eerie spell and that Mel Gibson can gasp, shudder and even tremble without losing his machismo.
The soul-searching deliberateness of the film, although leavened nicely with dry absurdist wit, eventually becomes too heavy for the plot.
Shyamalan wants to be the metaphysical poet of movies, but he's dangerously close to becoming its O. Henry.
The work of a born filmmaker, able to summon apprehension out of thin air.
The film boasts dry humor and jarring shocks, plus moments of breathtaking mystery.
Individual sequences generate an eerie tension that's always deflated, creating a jarring stop-and-go rhythm, and the atmospheric trickery never strays beyond a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Unlike the lumbering and portentous Unbreakable, Shyamalan's Signs is a satisfyingly taut suspenser.
A complex story told with assurance and performed with quiet conviction, Signs smoothly and stylishly blends scares and substance.
The movie is almost completely lacking in suspense, surprise and consistent emotional conviction.

8 Networking Conversation Starters That Work (Every Time) | The Muse
Geege Schuman stashed this in Networking
Stashed in: Conversations, Networking, Awesome, Rising meets Risen
I use this often:
3. "How long have you been a member of this organization?"
Sometimes less really is more, says Kathleen Brady, a career coach and the author of Get a Job! 10 Steps to Career Success. This simple, open-ended question can work wonders to engage that shy someone who, by virtue of being at the same networking event, is there to meet people just like you. But try not to fire off too many questions at once—you don't want your conversation to suddenly feel like an interrogation.
I usually get more than I bargained for.
Most successful query (not on list): "How's business?"
Yeah, asking about history/relationship to the org/event participants is always a great starter in any conversation.
- Also, "so what do you think about this event/events like this?"
- Questions that allow them to express their opinion of value of something related
- something that engages quirk/humor/snark (but not too dark/sarcastic/shrewd!)
- "What're you gonna get into now?"
I like those.
And Geege, I like "how's business?" and "what's new?" too.
But my fave is "What do you love about what you do?" It's more specific than "What do you do?"
5. "What do you love about your job?"
This is another simple one-liner—but it's one of Williams' favorites. "Whenever someone gets the opportunity to talk about themselves, they not only love it," she says, "but they also feel closer to you by virtue of your hearing their story." Bottom line: "The more they're encouraged to talk about themselves," she adds, "the more likely they'll walk away going, 'I really like that person!'"
Isn't the saying: A person feels closer to you based on how much you know about them.
Addendum: how much they know you know about them

Mumbai, June 28: A day after mysterious attack on Abu Salem, reports surfaced saying that D Company member and close aide of Dawood Ibrahim -- Chhota Shakeel have taken the responsibility of the attack. However, other reports suspect that the main conspirator of the attack was none other than but Salem himself.
According to media reports, Salem might have plotted the attack to push for his case for repatriation to Portugal from where he was extradited to India in 2005. His lawyer on Friday, June 28 already expressed his plan to move the court seeking permission to repatriate Salem to Portugal.
The attacker -- Devendra Jagtap, aka JD, was known close to Salem and it was not possible for the former to open fire at the latter over a minor altercation, media reports quoted sources as saying.
Meanwhile, many started questioning -- why did Jagtap miss Salem and hit him only on his hand when the incident took place in an open area?
A case of attempt to murder has been filed against Jagtap. Four police officials have been suspended. Salem, an accused of 1993 Bomaby blasts case, was shot twice inside the premise of Taloja Jail in Navi Mumbai. However, the gangster sustained minor injury on his hand.
This was the second attack on Salem after he was extradited from Portugal in 2005. The previous attack took place in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail three years ago. He was moved to Taloja Central Jail over security concerns but it seems destiny had the same story for him here as well.
Salem was arrested along with his girlfriend Monica Bedi, a Bollywood actor, in London in 2002 for travelling on fake passports. He was extradited from Portugal three years later for his alleged role in the serial blasts in the country's financial capital that claimed 257 lives besides injuring several.
During Salem's extradition, India had assured the Portuguese authorities that it would not go for Salem's hanging or keep him behind bars for over 25 years, which form key requirements in extradition rules in Europe.

The fighters. The conquerors. Those who deal with their issues, who emerge out of their pain by swimming through it. I am not among them.
I can no longer continue denying to myself that there's not anything wrong. I know there is… what I don't know still is what exactly is wrong. I know bits and pieces here and there. Like: I'm scared of being loved, I have trouble expressing myself, I hate/love food, I feel guilty all the time, etc. So how do I go about dealing with my issues? Do I want to go about it? Do I want to really live without their encumbering defects? I know I won't be lost without them.
I just don't want to carry all this through life. Or worse, accidently burden someone else 'cause I haven't taken care of things. But what do I do? Besides the obvious things of course: Stop purging, start talking.
