Bella's POV:
August 26th 2006:
I had finished my graduation a few months back, right now I was in an office waiting for turn to be interviewed. I was applying for a personal secretary at the Newton Enterprises. I hoped I looked professional; I was dressed up in a business black skirt, white shirt and a black striped blazer. Next to me a couple of girls were sitting, probably older than me; one was dressed up in a flowery dress and the other in hippie clothes, where did they think they were? Not my kind of dressing for a job inter-view at all. Even though I was sure of myself, I still felt scared and self conscious. What if I don't get this job? I had many bills to pay, I couldn't ask mom and dad for money, not that they wouldn't mind but because I was independent. Yes, Bella Swan, age 21, residing in a small apartment with a hot house mate, in Port Angeles.
Newton's were the big shots of this area; they had a huge house, cool cars and were rolling in money. I had to get this job, for the huge amount they were offering for the post of personal secretary. This amount was double of the money other places were offering.
"Bella Swan?" A middle aged receptionist called.
"Yeah, that's me," I said standing up.
"You're up next, follow me," she said haughtily.
I followed her into a lobby and then I found myself in front of a dark blue door with the name plate "Jason Newton-Director General"
The woman left me here, I suddenly felt nervous, and to make myself feel better I took long deep breaths and knocked the door.
"Come in," I heard a stiff voice.
I went inside with my files, trying not to trip on my way to the chair opposite to Mr. Newton. He motioned me to sit down without looking up from the papers he was looking at. I placed my files on the table and sat down.
"Good Morning sir," I said politely.
He took my files still not looking at me, I studied him, he was a middle aged man, maybe in his forties, he had dull brown hair and slightly tanned skin.
"Good morning, Miss Bella," he said looking at me with a smile.
"So do you have any other experiences of doing this kind of job?" he asked.
"Well, no sir. I graduated a couple of months back, this will be my first job," I told him.
"Alright, why did you choose this company for your first job?" he asked.
"Sir, I believe your company will help me rise with it," I said meekly.
"Nice," he said smiling.
"I think you can manage this job very well," he added.
"Thank you," I blushed.
"Alright Miss Swan, I appointing you," he stated and signed a document and handed it to me.
"Oh my god! Thank you," I said excitedly.
"Your welcome, please be here by 8:30. Personal secretary's job is not just keeping records but also to manage and study things in my office." He said with a smile.
"Yes sir, I will be here," I said and got up to leave.
June 15th 2007:
I had been working at the Newton Enterprises for almost a year; I at once had learned the job well and got praises from my boss Jason at my efficiency. I had an area to myself. It was actually in Mr. Newton's office itself, it was in the left corner of the room. I had a nice desk, comfortable chair, computer, notice board. I loved this; we also had work parties to celebrate our profits.
"Bella, I will be back in an hour," Mr. Newton said and went out.
I nodded and continued with my typing.
After thirty minutes, I heard the door open, I didn't look up from my work, it was obviously Mr. Newton back or else Elsie would have called me telling me about any visitor.
I found myself being stared at, I looked up instantly. It was a blue eyed, blonde haired, cheeky faced guy. He was wearing casual jeans, and a t-shirt.
"Can I help you?" I said surprised at this new face. Why the hell had Elsie let some stranger enter in here without calling me?
"No, I don't need any help," he said and walked over to Mr. Newton's desk and sat on his chair.
"Excuse me! What are you doing?" I said going up to him. He had settled himself comfortably on his chair and was going through his cell.
"Chill honey, you clearly don't know me," he said brining fake huskiness in his voice.
"Yes, your right, I clearly don't know who you are, so please leave before I call the security," I said indignantly. Who did he think he is barging in this way and disturbing me!
He completely ignored me, and dialed and number on his cell and was engaged in a talk.
"Hey Jess," he said to the person he called.
"Nope hon. not now, how about tonight?" he asked. I just stood glaring him. I wanted to yank him of the chair and throw him out the window.
"Alright bye, love ya," he said and ended talking to that anonymous girl.
"Yeah, so where were we?" he said looking at me.
"I will show you where you were," I said angrily and went to pull him of the chair.
"Hey!" he exclaimed.
"Bella!" I heard Mr. Newton's voice; I turned at looked at him, still holding this stupid blonde boy by his shoulder.
"Sir, he barged in here and refused to leave," I told Mr. Newton, letting go of the boy.
Instead of kicking of this boy from his office Mr. Newton bursted into laughter, the blonde boy joined him.
"What's so funny?" I asked looking at both of them.
"Bella meet Mike Newton, my son," Mr. Newton introduced me to the blonde boy.
"Oh! Crap! I m so sorry, I didn't know you were Mike, I m really sorry," I said blushing.
"That's alright Bella," he said and shook my hand.
"You know Bella, Mike is going to help me in business, so I want you to train him," Mr. Newton.
"Okay sir," I said still blushing.
"Relax Bella, you didn't commit a crime by not knowing who I m," Mike said.
"Yeah, okay," I muttered.
Mike came to office every day, I told him all about the company and taught him everything I knew about that. We continued meeting even out side office, rather he asked me to meet, I couldn't deny Mike Newton except for the first day he had been really sweet and kind to me, and he was my boss's son. I began to feel that he had started liking him, but didn't have any feelings for him, infact I liked my house mate, my best friend, my Jacob. I had had a crush on him for a long time, but unfortunately he hadn't really noticed much. But recently he had started acting different, he wouldn't talk about the games on TV, or about what he and other guys are going to do, or even about the girls who fell for him. He would just sit staring at me and not eat his food, just be absent minded. I began to fancy that Jacob Black had feelings for me.
I was heading home from work, it was 7:30. I opened my apartment door using my key, it was unusually quiet, but I knew Jacob was here because his car was down.
"Jacob?" I called.
"Yeah, I m in my room," I heard his voice.
I removed my over coat, and went over to his room, I opened his door and stopped shocked as I saw him.
He had gelled his hair in a cool way, and was wearing a V-neck black t-shirt through which I was able to trace his abs. with this he had denim jeans, and boots.
"Whoa!" I gasped.
"How m I looking?" he asked shyly.
"Nice of course," I said blushing.
"Okay," he said huskily.
"Yeah, what's up?" I asked.
"Bella?" he said sounding breathless. My heart beat started speeding.
"Yes?" I whispered.
"I have some thing to tell you Bells," he said coming closer. I knew he was going to ask me out. Finally!
"Go one," I encouraged.
"I should have told this to you before it self, I don't know why I waited, you are my best friend." he said looking grave.
"Well, it's sooner or later," I muttered.
"Yeah, okay, listen Bella, I love her," he said.
My eyes widened. What did he say? Her?
"Her?" I asked, idiot it's you not her.
"Yeah, I love Leah Clearwater, she is just so amazing!" he said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Leah? Wow, I didn't see that coming," I said truthfully trying hard not to let the tears escape.
"Yeah, first we used to just argue and all but I fell in love with her, and I finally I asked her out and she agreed!" he said and pulled me into a hug.
"That's nice Jacob," I told him holding him close.
"Yeah, I know." He replied.
After giving me that hug Jacob went on blabbering about how good Leah was, I put on a fake smile agreeing with him. Jacob was my best friend, he knew every part of me and he always knew when I was lying or faking an expression but he was so lost into his love that he didn't realize that I wasn't happy about him being with Leah. He didn't realize that I was in love with him, not just from now but from years, from high school.
Jacob then took off to take Leah to dinner; I locked the door and headed to my room to sleep with tears rolling down my eyes.
September 13th 2008:
Today was my birthday, and today Jacob was moving out of our little apartment to live with Leah. He had laughed telling me that it was a gift from his side as I would be getting this whole apartment to myself. I had laughed with him but in real I hated this gift of his. I wanted him, my heart ached for him.
I wore a cream top gifted from my mom on black skinny jeans and headed to work. I was still working at Newton Enterprises, Mike was the Junior Director General and still hung out with me, in fact we had become good friends, to him more than just friends. And he had also taken me on a few dates.
I entered Mr. Newton's office and headed to my corner, there wasn't anyone here but I found a packed parcel and a card on my table. It was from Mr. Newton wishing me Happy Birthday. I smiled as I saw the card. It said 'to my wonderful secretary Bella Swan.' I opened the package; it was a collection of best classic movies. Wow! I was delighted! All my favorites were here, Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights, Julius Caesar, Pride and Prejudice, etc. A huge smile plastered on my face.
And then the door opened, I thought it was Mr. Newton but it was actually Mike looking extremely different. He was wearing pure business attire, a nice white shirt with striped tie, black trousers and a matching blazer instead of the usual casual jeans and t-shirts he wore to office.
"Hey Bella," he said sounding nervous.
"Hi Mike, wow, you are seriously looking good," I commented.
"Thanks, I wore this for a special occasion," he said.
"Oh, nice," I said smiling.
"Happy Birthday Bella," he said coming closer.
"Thanks!" I smiled.
He was still looking nervous, extremely. He wasn't like this usually, I wonder what's wrong.
"Bella, can you stand here please," he called me.
"Ohkay," I said confusedly and moved from my chair to the empty place.
Mike came and stood and knelt down and took out a small petite box. Omg! No way! He held for my hand, I gave it to him absent mindedly.
"Bella, I really like you, I know I haven't revealed my feelings to you before and doing this will probably look or is drastic to you as we aren't even dating officially, but I don't want to wait anymore Bella, I love you and I want to marry you, will you marry me?" he said and took a deep
I was frozen, and taken totally by surprise. I thought about Jacob for a while, I loved him but I knew he wouldn't ever be mine so it was better if I started a new life, and love some one knew, I also thought of the enjoyment I had when I was with Mike, I knew I didn't really love him but I
liked him enough, maybe if I concentrate on Mike I will love him, it was only Jake who was keeping me from liking other boys but now Mike was here proposing to me! I should give him a chance. I looked at his face, he seemed hopeful.
"Yes," I whispered. He slid the ring into the third finger of my left hand and hugged me in joy!
"You won't regret it Bella," he said excitedly.
I knew I wouldn't but what I didn't know was that he would be.
April 23rd 2009:
Mike and I were getting married in May; it was going to be a nice wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Newton had accepted me warmly and I had started liking Mike not in a Jacob way of course, but I liked him enough to marry him. I continued working because I loved it, though the Newtons' had agreed that I shouldn't work at their company as I was going to be their daughter in law shortly.
"Having fun?" Mike asked. We were having dinner at a hotel in Seattle. It was beautiful of course.
"Yes," I smiled.
Just then a dark haired man walked over to us, he had piercing black eyes and rough face. "Hey there Newton!" he flashed Mike a huge smile.
"Hey Alan!" I said gave him guys hug.
"And may I know who this beautiful lady is?" he asked Mike looking at me.
"Oh, that's Bella, my fiancée, and Bella this is Alan, a college buddy," Mike introduced us.
"Hello," I smiled politely. I hoped Mike and he weren't good friends, I didn't like his look at all.
"How come you are here?" Mike asked him.
"Just was traveling for a bit and thought of coming here man," Alan said. Yeah right! You're jobless, why don't you say it! I was pretty surprised at my anger at this stranger.
"You gotta attend our wedding dude! Right Bella," Mike said.
"Right, he should," I lied.
"Cool, if you are insisting so much." Alan agreed.
After that night, Alan regularly started hanging with us, almost a week had gotten over, and Mike had to go to New York on a business trip so he left leaving Alan my responsibility.
"Why don't we go to some night club?" Alan suggested on the third day Mike was away.
I grinded my teeth, stay cool, I had to be a good host.
"Sure, I will take to some where tonight." I told him.
We met that following night, I took him to a night club on the highway. As I entered inside I started wishing we hadn't come here tonight. I could only see couples dancing, group of girls flirting with each other, and biking guys drinking.
We went into the club and found a place for ourselves. It was in the dark corner with red and green lights. Alan got bottles of alcoholic drinks, my eyes widened.
"You are looking beautiful Bella," he told taking his first drink and pouring some for me.
"Thanks," I muttered.
"Here have a drink," he shouted over the music.
"I don't drink," I shouted back.
"Come-on just one or else I won't leave you," he repeated holding my hand. To release my hand from his clutches I drank what he had poured in glass for me. My head started aching badly, I started feeling drowsy. After that I didn't remember a thing.
I woke up feeling tired and feeling nauseated. I was in a cozy bed covered in bed sheets; there was a dim light in the room from the night lamp on the other end. I couldn't remember a thing! I looked to my left side and froze; Alan was lying next to me! A bed sheet was covering his lower
back. Omg! What had we done? What had I done? I couldn't remember anything! The last thing on my mind was us being in night club and then having a drink. I sat up clutching the bed sheet close to me, my head ached. I looked down; my clothes lay there with Alan's. Tears welled up in my eyes. I desperately wished to take all of this back! I covered my body with the bed sheet, took my clothes from the floor and headed to the bathroom to get ready. I looked like an addict! I
washed my face best as I could and out on my clothes. I needed to get out of this place! I didn't even know where I was.
I came out of the bathroom, Alan was standing in front of me smoking a cigarette and thankfully wearing his pants.
"Hello darling, I had fun last night," he said smiling at me and coming closer to kiss me.
"You cheat! I hate you!" I shouted and pushed him back realizing what he had done.
"Chill, I really like you," he said in a drawly voice.
"Back off jerk!" I said and stomped off the room collecting my purse which had my car keys.
Fortunately I knew this place! It was a motel on the highway; I covered my face with my hoodie and almost ran to my car. I reached home quickly, took a long bath, and wore new clothes; I needed to tell this to some one yet I couldn't, I had to keep this a secret or Mike would hate me! But what if Alan tells Mike everything? No!
But my fears were silly because I didn't see Alan Brown after that. Mike tried to find where he was but couldn't. I had a guilty feeling accompanied since then!
One week before the marriage:
I was feeling happy and excited. Mike was taking me out to lunch with our common friends. I got ready into a black dress and out on some make up. I sat down waiting for Mike to arrive.
I heard the bell ring, I ran to open the door, it was already late. I was shocked to find Alan there instead of Mike.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Where are your manners? At least invite me in," he said and came into my apartment.
"Get out of here!" I shouted.
"Come-on, don't act like I m a piece of dirt," he said.
"That's not acting, you are!" I glared at him.
"I came here to attend your wedding Bella," he smiled.
"No way, just get out of here," I continued.
"Bella! This is not 1920; you can sleep with some one before your marriage," he said in the most irritating voice.
"I didn't," I said shocked.
"Yes you did sleep with me, and liked it," he told me.
"No," I whispered horrified.
"What the hell is this?" I heard Mike. Crap!
"Oh, Mike, hey man, you heard right." He replied.
"No, Mike that's not the truth," I said turning toward him.
"Then what is the truth?" he asked.
"Well, I guess I will leave now, wouldn't want to disturb you too," Alan said and left! I wanted to slap him.
"We did sleep together, but I don't remember anything, he mixed something in my drink," I explained.
"Yeah, that's pretty soothing," Mike said sarcastically.
"You have to believe me Mike," I said in defeat.
"You should have told me all this before, I would have believed you but no, you had to keep this in dark and hurt me!" he said angrily.
"I m sorry," tears ran down my eyes.
"You never loved me Bella," he stated.
"I m sorry," I wept.
"That's it! It's over." He said in disgust.
"What?" I asked horrified.
"I said we are done, I don't want to marry you," he said in a hard tone.
"No, don't do this," I pleaded.
"Goodbye Bella, loving you was a mistake, I can't trust you," he said and went out banging the door.
I fell on my knees, crying bitterly, no one to comfort me. I removed the ring Mike had given from my finger.
Once again, love had left me. This time I had been close...too close.
Maybe I should never love again; maybe I should take back my love. It was easier saying than doing.
September 13th 2010:
More than one year had passed since my marriage had broken, today was my birthday, I turned 25 years old today, but I didn't have any happiness left in my life, I had an okay job at a small company and right now I lived in Forks in a new apartment closer to Dad. I visited him regularly. I had never told any one the real reason for my marriage breaking, infact Mike too hadn't said anything. He was a good guy, but it still hurt, I saw a picture of him and Jessica Stanley on their wedding day back in January. It really hurt. I comforted myself saying it was better we had separated as he hadn't kept any trust in me.
It was raining heavily, I was riding my red Lancer through the Forks streets; I was heading to my private place…to a beautiful meadow I had found long time ago. I parked my car at I-10, put the hoodie of my rain coat on and started walking into the woods. I always found peace at this place. I knew the way so well that could reach the place blind folded but that only problem would be that I would fall over my clumsy feet. It took my 20-30 minutes to reach my private place. I was happy to see the opening in the trees; I sighed and steeped inside the meadow. I stood looking around it for a while before sitting down on the broken trunk. The meadow was symmetrical, there was green shrubs covering the whole place and also flowers grown, there were also a few fallen trees at the sides adding to the beauty. It was still raining heavily.
I moved toward the huge tree on which I usually sat. But I stopped dead, there was somebody else sitting at the other end. It was a guy, I knew he would have noticed me enter but he didn't look at me. I studied his side frame, he wasn't wearing his hoodie up so his reddish brown hair was wet, and he had pale white skin, nice shoulders. I could have run away from him but I didn't feel scared. They way his lips were turned down told me that he too was sad.
I sat on the edge of the fallen tree in a comfortable manner without saying a word to the strange handsome man. I sat staring at the green shrubs and flowers under rain; I put my hoodie down.
"Not quite a place to enjoy when the rain is down hard," the guy sitting on the other end comment. I stiffened, his voice was like music. So attractive.
"Who said all this is only for enjoyment?" I found myself saying. I was pretty shocked; I had never said anything like this to anyone.
"Oh…what happened?" he asked still not looking at me. His direct question didn't bother me, he was a stranger after all, not like he was going to stay here and pity me, maybe I could share whatever happened with him, it will probably help.
"Well, loved a guy from years, he didn't notice that and one day he comes and tells me that he is in love with another girl, but my story didn't end here. My boss's son, Mike asked me to marry him after a year, I agreed. We were really good together, had fun too, I had started liking him but some jerk by name Alan had to come a spoil it for me. Alan was Mike's good friend, then Mike left for some business trip and I had to take care of Alan, he asked me to take him to a club so I did, and then he kinda got me a drink and I don't remember what happened after that but I woke up in bed with Alan. And then just before the wedding Mike came to know about this, I pleaded with him saying it was a mistake and that I didn't remember a thing! But no! Mike didn't believe me, he thought I had cheated on him and went off breaking our marriage! I should have told him the truth but I was just scared of the outcome, I blame myself for my pain. But I swear, I never cheated on Mike." I ended; I felt silent tears down my eyes.
I felt him look at me, but I didn't turn. I quickly wiped away the tears.
"Hmm," he mumbled turning away.
"What happened with you?" I asked him.
"Well, I too was in love, I loved a girl, her name is Tanya. We were together since high school, I loved her more than my own life, we went to college, I still loved her, but she changed, of course I didn't notice her change. Then we started working, and were still together, my love for her increased every single day, we soon moved in together, and then I was soon going to ask her to marry me, I came home early to surprise her, but found her sleeping with her boss. That was truly devastating! I just stopped loving after that and concentrated on my work and dedicated myself totally to it. It hurts still." He told me.
"That's sad," I commented.
"Yeah, what happened to you too," he replied.
"You know I have never said all this to anyone! It feels good after telling it to you," I said looking at him.
"I feel the same," he said and turned to look at me.
He was extremely beautiful, his reddish brown hair were flattened down due to rain, but it only made him look more good, I looked in his green eyes, I was lost in them, there was pain in them but we continued to stare, there was a shine in his eyes. A slow smile spread across my face, and his face.
"What's your name?" he asked not breaking our staring at each other, his voice held curiousness.
"Bella Swan," I said my mouth hanging open. I suddenly felt happy! More than happy, I found myself blushing.
"Bella Swan," he examined my name saying it himself, I liked when he said my name, I had never felt like this. "I like it." He concluded.
"What's your name?" I asked continuing to stare in his emerald green eyes.
"Edward, Edward Cullen," he said and bit his lip.
"Edward Cullen," I said his name, I loved it; and then added, "I like it too."
I didn't have much experience in love, but I knew there was some connection between us, I felt very sure for the first time. I had fallen in love with this Greek god, I had truly found my love…this time it was true love.
We continued to stare at each other.

Post subject: Homeschool and my 2nd Grader
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 7:19 pm
I want to start out by saying that my daughter attended a wonderful school up until this point. In fact, they helped point us in the direction of services when we discovered our daughter had Dyslexia last year. She started one on one therapy with a therapist who uses the Lindamood Bell approach and they really suggest parents read Dr. Shaywitz's book which has also been incredibly helpful. However, our daughter was falling further and further behind the rest of the class. She'd come home stressed and tests were just causing too much anxiety. She was gaining such ground with therapy but the pressure in class was too much for her. Her self esteem was dropping despite every attempt by the teacher, therapist and ourselves to convince her she was a very bright girl She was at the top of her class in mathematics. She is naturally drawn to the arts and loves ballet. We didn't want to see her lose her self esteem, and so, we made the decision to homeschool this year.
Our son is homeschooled. We began homeschooling due to some social issues and decreasing self esteem. He homeschooled in 2nd and 3rd grades. He returned to school for 4th and 5th grade where he was friends with every boy in class and at the top of his class academically. We moved just before the start of 6th grade and he asked to homeschool again rather than start a new school. By the end of this homeschool year, his Stanford test scores were an overall post high school. He is involved in so many activities and outside classes that he is far more socially integrated in the community than he would be in a typical school.
For this reason, we decided to homeschool our daughter for 2nd grade. We began in July of this year. Her test anxiety has disappeared. She loves to learn. She also has more time to study ballet and will be performing in our community's Nutcracker this year. We have just seen such an improvement academically. We tailor the curriculum to fit her learning style which is something that just cannot be done in the typical school. We will continue therapy because it is so beneficial.
The biggest change that has come about as a result of homeschooling? Our daughter is reading for enjoyment now. She always seems to have a book in her hand and, at night just before lights out when she asks for 'five more minutes to read', it is difficult to say no.
I just had to share our homeschool story because it has been such a success. I meet so many other parents now who also homeschool children with Dyslexia and share such successful stories. I'd love for parents to know this is an option as well.

I love your story. If it works for you, do it!!!
I choose not to homeschool my dyslexic child. I tried, but I needed more help. Even with my college degress, it was not a choice that I made.
However, the school system failed my child, and I had to get an advocate to put some things in place. I also failed my child by not reading my procedural rights, etc. Once I contacted my state department of special education, understood my rights, contacted state resources and got an advocate--everything fell into place.
I can't fully blame the school system for the failure but they did "push my son" along. Now, they are under a microscope. But, they did quickly put some plans in place once I started asking the right questions, got an advocate, etc. And, they understood that I was not afriad to go into due process. And, they paid for an evaluation. And, I have plans to get on some state education commissions to make sure that dyslexic kids are not "left behind."
It is and still is a lot of work. But, that is ok. I am learning a lot and hearing a lot of stories from parents. It is worth it to pay for an attorney or an advocate. You have to.
I know moms who homeschool and it works for them. Your story is an inspiration. [/code]

I just have to share some further good news.
My daughter had her annual evaluation (including the Woodcock Johnson III) early this month. One year ago, she was not even scoring at a Kindergarten level in some areas of the exam. One year later, our second-grade daughter scored overall at the third-grade level. Her lowest score was a 2.4 which is pretty much where she is now in school.
Homeschool has been a success. We were planning on putting her back in therapy but the clinic said she really doesn't need it right now and just to keep on doing what we're doing.
I really hope our story helps somebody else.

My 15 yo is mildly dyslexic and has mild APD. A few years ago, her audiologist told me dd's doing so well
she's homeschooled, and I started crying right there in her office. My dd goes to a public charter high school now and is doing very well.
My 9 yo is severely dyslexic. Thanks to homeschooling, we had time to fit in some therapies she needed to lay a groundwork for learning. I am simply amazed at how well she's doing now. In February, she basically went from being a non-reader to reading 2-4th grade chapter books. We still have a lot of work to do to get her up to grade level in spelling and writing, but we are thrilled with the progress she's making.
I have friends who were told by school personnel that their kids will never read fluently, and I suspect we would have had the same result if my 9 yo had gone to school. I am thankful for the opportunity to homeschool and teach our kids the way they need to learn.

Post subject: An update several years later
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:33 pm
I ran across my old post here this afternoon and thought I would update.
When I began homeschooling my daughter in second grade, in the back of our minds we looked at it as a temporary solution. She is now in fifth grade and still homeschooling. We realized that you just can't beat one-on-one instruction with dyslexia. She takes occasional classes with other children and we see her stress level rise. She finally told me this last year she just wants to continue homeschooling.
So, how is she doing academically? She tests every year. Near the end of fourth grade, she took the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Her lowest score was at a fifth grade, fourth month level. Her highest was at an eleventh grade level. Her lexile score put her at an eighth grade reading level.
And, how is she doing otherwise? This is a happy little girl. She is still very involved in dancing and is planning on joining our local dance company. She joined a book club that meets once a week and loves it. We still see signs of dyslexia. We don't time her on tests but found with the Iowa Test, she does just fine with time. She still mixes up words. The other day she was told me the cat's litter box smelled like 'pneumonia' :) She will mix up the order in which she is given directions and other things of that nature. We are just so pleased with her progress.

Withybush SCBU: final decision delayed but report backs closure in favour of Carmarthen development
3:08pm Tuesday 24th September 2013 in News
An expert panel which has examined controversial Hywel Dda Health Board plans to close the Special Care Baby Unit at Withybush Hospital has advised the Health Minister to ask for more information before making a decision.
The scrutiny panel report on service change proposals regarding neonatal services says clarity is needed from Hywel Dda Health Board on its obstetric and midfwifery services before any decision is made on neonatal services.
The report reads: "The configuration of neonatal services cannot be determined in the absence of clear and definite plans for obstetric and midwifery services in the Hywel Dda area, including Bronglais Hospital as well as Glangwili and Withybush Hospital.
"Our advice to the Minister is to seek clarification from Hywel Dda LHB of the maternity (obstetric and midwifery) plans that will be implemented before reaching a conclusion on the configuration of neonatal services."
But the report goes on to back the creation of a Level 2 Neonatal Unit at Glangwili – a move that would see the Special Care Baby Unit at Withybush Hospital close.
The report said that accompanied by the appropriate changes in obstetric services, "the development of a Level 2 Neonatal Unit at Glangwili offers opportunity for improved efficiency, safety, sustainability and equity in the delivery of neonatal services."
In a statement to the Assembly a short time ago, Health Minister Mark Drakeford said he had asked Hywel Dda LHB to begin outlining further its plans for maternity, including obstetrics and midwifery, and asked that the work be completed by Christmas.
He said that he hoped that the panel's final consideration would be presented shortly after the Assembly's Christmas break.
Preseli Pembrokeshire Assembly Member Paul Davies drew attention to the difficult road network across much of Pembrokeshire and said that closing the unit at Withybush would be "dangerous and unsafe."

Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Family facing dementia lives with joy and purpose
By Angela Lunde
3 comments posted
On March 20, the Annual "Meeting of the Minds" Conference took place in St. Paul, Minn. The conference this year gathered approximately 1300 individuals made up of professionals in the field of dementia, along with caregivers, families, and persons with mild cognitive impairment or the early stages of a dementia.
It was a conference that inspired hope and a sense of community. We learned how leading researchers are looking for ways to predict Alzheimer's disease, improve diagnostic techniques, identify high-risk individuals, and ultimately develop preventative treatments and an eventual cure. There were breakout sessions, service vendors and advocacy opportunities.
The conference introduced us to the DeMoe family from North Dakota. The DeMoe family is made up of six children, five of whom carry a gene mutation that has resulted in younger-onset Alzheimer's. Several members of the DeMoe family took the stage and while firmly interlocking hands, shared their journey. You may think that what we heard was a story of tragedy and heartache, but quite the contrary. What we heard and felt was a family in a place of acceptance and love. The family reminded me that none of us get to live this life without grief and loss. The DeMoe family understands this and lives each day with joy and purpose by participating in research, sharing their story, hugging any one who needs it, and with lots and lots of humor.
For me, the annual conference is like coming home after being away for a year. I see familiar faces dedicated to their work, I reconnect with families who I have met and supported over the years, and I stand proudly beside my colleagues who share my passion for making a difference in the lives of anyone impacted by dementia. I am certain the energy generated on this special day drenched us all with an undeniable feeling of community and oneness.
Until next year.

We get a bunch of different advice and opinions on such questions from everyone we talk to and since babies don't come with a "manual" – it's hard to know what the right thing to do is. Thus, it is very important that the parents should educate themselves with the right ways or techniques to take care of their newly born babies. ==================== ================================= Healthy Living

My family carries the gene mutation for early on-set. My father died at 40 years of age, my brother at 42 years, and my sister at 48. In all cases, symptoms showed in the thirties of age. I have a younger sister that has been diagnosed as well and she has witnessed the other deaths in my family. She is a beautiful 40 year old with a heart of gold. She is the bravest person I know who still lives life to the fullest knowing what soon is ahead. I pray each and every day for a cure in time for her and wonder why I was spared and she was not.

Stalled regional development projects in crisis-hit countries could be kick-started by sharing their investment risks between private and public investors, under plans voted by the MEPs on Thursday. Sharing risks should stimulate recovery, by providing capital and overcoming banks' unwillingness to bear risks alone.
"With this proposal, we are addressing serious obstacles faced by some Member States, particularly Greece, in raising the private financing needed to implement infrastructure and productive investment projects that would help them to trigger the growth so badly needed to overcome the crisis," said rapporteur and Regional Development Committee chair Danuta Hübner (EPP, PL), ahead of the vote.
"I am convinced that the creation of risk-sharing instruments will provide an effective and quick contribution to maximise the benefits of cohesion policy funding in the countries concerned," she added.
The legislative resolution was passed with 504 votes in favour, 78 against, and 79 abstentions.
Risk-sharing instruments
Under the proposal, Member States benefitting from EU macroeconomic assistance (currently Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Romania), will be able to ask for part of their EU regional funding allocation to be transferred to the European Commission. The Commission could then conclude a risk-sharing partnership with the European Investment Bank or another financial institution willing to lend to the project sponsors and banks.
The EU's financial contribution to the risk-sharing instrument must not exceed 10% of the total 2007-2013 national allocation from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF).
Attracting private capital
The regulation aims to encourage private investors to back "strategic" revenue-generating projects. Priority will be given to projects partly funded by ERDF and CF but other projects contributing to the achievement of cohesion policy goals can also be included.
MEPs want the Commission to make sure that only projects for which there is a favourable financing decision by the EIB or other financial institution are eligible for financing through the scheme.
Kick-start the projects quickly
Parliament's negotiators insisted that the scheme must take effect as soon as possible, so as to help stimulate growth and create jobs. Member States wishing to benefit from it will have until 31 August 2013 to make their written requests to the Commission. They will need to specify the programmes and projects to be covered.
Greece has already stated its interest in the scheme, especially for its highway toll concession projects.
No impact on overall 2007-2013 allocation
The new regulation does not change the overall allocation of cohesion funding for 2007-2013 and will not result in any contingent liabilities for the EU budget beyond the financial allocations dedicated to the risk-sharing instrument.
Next steps
The text, already agreed informally by Parliament's negotiators and the Council, is scheduled to be formally adopted by the Council in May. The new regulation will enter into force on the day of its publication in the EU Official Journal.
Procedure: Ordinary legislative procedure, 1st reading agreement

Flowers are often a big part of anyone's wedding day, from the bouquets the bride and her attendants carry to the chuppah decorations and the table centerpieces at the reception hall. Many times the flowers are what the guests remember about the wedding (unless a minor disaster strikes). Deciding which flowers to use for what arrangements, though, can be a dizzying experience, thanks to the availability of different types and colors of flowers at all times of the year.
Rarely has Jewish talent and Jewish themes received as much recognition as at the last Academy Awards of this century.

Dutch authorities have joined the FBI in conducting criminal investigations into the discovery of needles in six sandwiches aboard four Delta Air Lines flights from Amsterdam to the United States, a military police spokesman in the Netherlands said Tuesday.
One person was injured when he bit into a sandwich containing a needle, Delta and Dutch officials said.
That passenger, James Tonjes, said he thought the object was a toothpick at first.
"When I pulled it out, then I found out it was a needle," he said Tuesday.
Tonjes said he has been placed on medication to prevent HIV.
A second passenger aboard the same flight, Jack Drogt, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that he not only found a needle, but he also discovered after landing that his son found one in his sandwich aboard another flight from Amsterdam.
The objects were discovered in the sandwiches as the planes were flying Sunday from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands to Minneapolis, Seattle and two flights to Atlanta, according to Delta spokeswoman Kristin Baur. Two of the needles were found by passengers, she said. An air marshal aboard another flight found a needle.
Officials initially reported that four needles had been found. Baur said the two additional needles reported Tuesday were not new incidents but a clarification of earlier information.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a brief statement Tuesday saying it had seized at least one item of food containing a "foreign object" and turned it over to the FBI, which has said it is conducting a criminal investigation.
On Tuesday, Robert van Kapel, spokesman for the military police in Schiphol, said detectives there were looking into who put the needles into the sandwiches and why. Military police provide police services at civilian airports in the Netherlands, according to the Defense Ministry.
Gate Gourmet, which provided prepared sandwiches to Delta, said the sandwiches originated at the firm's facility in Amsterdam. The company has been in business since 1992.
"This is a terribly upsetting situation," Gate Gourmet spokeswoman Christina Ulosevich said. "First and foremost is the safety of the traveling public. There's nothing more important to us at all than the safety of the passengers and crews."
Tonjes said it was about an hour before the flight was scheduled to land in Minneapolis when the flight crew served him a turkey and cheese sandwich.
He described the needle that punctured the roof of his mouth as being about an inch long. He said it looked like a sewing needle but did not have an eye.
"It happened so quick," he said. "I called the flight attendants, and they immediately took it. They didn't make an announcement, but they did go around and collect (the sandwiches)," he said.
FBI officials declined to comment Tuesday.
On Monday, Transportation Security Administration spokesman David Castelveter said the agency had notified all U.S. airlines with flights from Schiphol to the United States of the situation.
Castelveter said on Tuesday the agency has developed catering security procedures for airlines and their contractors, but he said he could not disclose those measures.
TSA conducts inspections to ensure compliance, he said.
It was unclear who is responsible for inspecting catered food loaded on airplanes and how and where it is screened.
The International Air Transport Association, an airline trade group, said each country is responsible for setting its own rules governing catering.
International Air Transport Association spokesman Perry Flint said the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency, also has standards and guidance on catering security.
Castelveter said the TSA evaluates the effectiveness of security protocols at international locations.
Delta is now serving sealed prepackaged food on the Amsterdam flights instead of the sandwiches, and no other needles have been found, said Baur, the Delta spokeswoman.
"Delta requires all its in-flight caterers to adhere to strict criteria in order to offer our customers the very best onboard meals," Baur said in a statement. "The safety and security of our passengers and crew is Delta's No. 1 priority."

If Katniss has to "choose" Peeta or Gale, she will have to give up doing gender in this splendid, and, dare I say, feminist and queer way in order to "fit" into her and her "girlfriend's" or "boyfriend's" relationship. Now imagine a world in which Katniss wouldn't have to choose.
I knew better than to expect P.L. Travers to write something sweet in my copy of Mary Poppins, but I didn't think it would be quite so medicinal.
I expect to enjoy the telecast because the cast album is not only promising, it's frequently stunning, thanks to Ms. Underwood's vocal grace and mezzo timbre -- the role was composed for a mezzo -- and superior support from Audra McDonald as the Mother Abbess.
In recent years, Hollywood, for better or worse, has played a significant role in educating the public about the Holocaust and its contemporary implications. This is why The Book Thief is an important new contribution to the Holocaust film genre.

For children with behavioral challenges or temperaments ill-suited to conformity and social ease, Elsa is a heroine that is truly relatable. She's not allegorical, but a human who screws up, wrestles with the results, and still finds her way to function in a world where she feels atypical.
Yes, Elf has its moments, including almost every scene with Will Ferrell, but it experiences so many missteps that unless you squint real hard, this is one holiday film that doesn't quite deliver.
As much as I love those time-honored, mainstay songs, sometimes we need a little variety in our year-end arsenal besides the classic Bings and Franks and Rods and Nat Coles.
Looking at all the recent comings out among celebrities, Daley and Bello provide yet another way for public figures to announce who they are (even if they're not exactly choosing what category they fit in). And that gives young people who may be LGBT even more options.
It's apt that he spoke as the van was in forward motion, as it unraveled the journey of a man possessing a focused rear-view mirror when it came to his past and polished dashboard when it came to his future.
The main gripe society has is that they encourage low aspirations; teach teenagers not to work hard, everything will be handed to them on a plate. Well, newsflash: Teenagers aren't that stupid.
Most real men aren't heroic global fugitives, any more than are most women. So why do they get the fantasy, and we not? Maybe if more women wrote and directed movies we'd have more interesting women doing more interesting things onscreen.
Of all the writers who have tackled the Dark Knight over the past seven-and-a-half decades, none has written more individual issues, miniseries, or one-shots than Chuck Dixon -- he has over 300 Bat-stories under his belt.
Growing up with The Sound of Music has made many fans feel like part of the onscreen von Trapp family. And plenty of them have their opinions as to whether the Carrie Underwood casting is a wise one.
If you're causing a stir at home because seeing a man in a dress somehow "insults" your idea of masculinity, what you're communicating to your son is that a boy who dresses like a girl is somehow "less than." You're also revealing to your daughter that, by virtue of being a girl, she is "less than."
Camille Claudel 1915 is a testimony to Binoche's enormous talent, much as was the film that put Binoche in the international spotlight: Kieslowski's Blue, a similarly emotionally raw story about a woman going through extreme bereavement.
As with all good secrets (this short is in fact a goof on The Secret), the spiritual awakening of "The Key" lies in the experience itself -- not in some journalist telling you about it -- thus find it here for your viewing pleasure.
In an industry that has been difficult for women writers to establish themselves, let alone non-white writers, Dayna Lynne North has cemented a reputation as a significant voice in the growing ranks of terrific African-American TV writer/producers.
Why would a Reggae band from Reno, Nevada (of all places) call themselves Keyser Soze? Anyone familiar with the ghost-like demonic character in the film, The Usual Suspects, might find this perplexing, since the album is anything but dark.
The law said Brian had to hide his own love away -- so instead, he worked tirelessly to spread the Beatles' great message of love across the globe, and in so doing Brian Epstein made the world a far richer place for love than it would have been without him.
It's a beautiful, moving film about a very tender subject: artists who die young but leave us an extremely important part of themselves. How do you preserve this? How do you keep this beautiful "self" alive when it's a piece of art?
Faniel paints a detailed, nuanced and colorful account of the movers and shakers, as well as the seminal moments in the development and evolution of Houston's hip-hop scene and culture. I spoke with Mr. Faniel about the intersection of hip-hop and homophobia.
