Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook buy more networking hardware than practically
anyone else on earth. After all, these are the giants of the internet. But at the same time, theyre
buying less and less gear from Cisco, HP, Juniper, and the rest of the worlds largest networking
vendors. Its an irony that could lead to a major shift in the worldwide hardware market.
Over the past few years, the giants of the web have changed the way they purchase tens of
thousands of the network switches inside the massive data centers driving their online services,
quietly moving away from U.S.-based sellers to buy cheaper gear in bulk straight from China and
Taiwan. According to J.R. Rivers an ex-Google engineer Google has built its own gear in
tandem with varous Asian manufacturers for several years, and according to James Liao who
spent two years selling hardware for Taiwan-based manufacturer Quanta Facebook, Amazon,
and Microsoft are purchasing at least some of their networking switches from Asian firms as well.
My biggest customers were these big data center [companies], so I know all of them pretty well,
Liao says. They all have different ways of solving their networking problems, but they have all
moved away from big networking companies like Cisco or Juniper or [the Dell-owned] Force10.
The move away from U.S. network equipment stalwarts is one of the best-kept secrets in Silicon
Valley. Some web giants consider their networking hardware strategy a competitive advantage
that must be hidden from rivals. Others just dont want to anger their business partners in the
hardware sector by talking about the shift. But cloud computing is an arms race. The biggest web
companies on earth are competing to see who can deliver their services to the most people in the
shortest amount of time at the lowest cost. And the cheapest arms come straight from Asia.
J.R. Rivers is one of the arms dealers. He runs a company called Cumulus Networks that helps
the giants of the web and other outfits buy their networking hardware directly from
original design manufacturers, or ODMs, in China and Taiwan. And hes worked in this world
for an awfully long time. Hes one of the Google engineers who secretly designed a new breed of
networking switch for the companys data centers, the massive computing facilities that drive its
search engine and the rest of its web services.
Rivers joined Google in October 2005, after five ears as a distinguished engineer at Cisco, the
company that dominated the worldwide market for networking gear. At the time, Google was still
connecting its servers using standard networking switches from the likes of Cisco and Force10
Networks. But these mass-market switches just didnt suit Googles unusually large operation.
When Google looked at their network, they need high-bandwidth connections between their
servers and they wanted to be able to manage things at scale, Rivers says. With the
traditional enterprise networking vendors, they just couldnt get there. The cost was too high,
and the systems were too closed to be manageable on a network of that size.
So Google drew up its own designs working alongside manufacturers in Taiwan and China
and cut the Ciscos and the Force10s out of the equation. The Ciscos and the Force10s build their
gear with many of those same manufacturers. Google removed the middlemen.
The search giant does much the same with its servers, buying custom-built machines straight
from Asia rather than going through traditional sellers such as Dell and HP. Because its web
services were used by such an enormous number of people, Google faced all sorts of data center
problems no one else faced problems of power and space as well as cost and logistics. So it
built all sorts of custom hardware to solve those problems.

They all have different ways of solving their networking problems, but they have all moved away
from big networking companies like Cisco or Juniper or Force10
Now, the other giants of the web are running into the same issues, and they too are going straight
to Asia for hardware. Following closely behind are companies that run large internal server
farms, including financial houses and healthcare outfits.
As J.R. Rivers serves this market with Cumulus Networks, James Liao is doing much the same
thing with a second startup called Pica8, offering networking gear that comes straight from the
ODMs. Pica8 is a spinoff of Liaos former employer, Quanta one of the companies that
manufactured Googles original networking switches, according to Rivers.
According to Liao, tens of thousands of switches are already being sold by the Asian ODMs
directly to the likes of Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft. And that doesnt include the gear
Google has bought over the past seven years. This is just the beginning, Liao says, pointing out
that these buyers operate the biggest data centers on earth. These companies account for only a
part of the $7-billion-a-year Ethernet switch market, but as more and more outfits move their
operations into the proverbial cloud, the influence of these web giants will only grow.
Liao estimates that Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and others have bought Asian network switches
spanning millions of network ports i.e., connections to servers and he guesses that in 2011,
about 60 percent of these ports provided 10Gigabit Ethernet connections. According to Matthias
Machowinski a directing analyst with Infonetics, a research firm that tracks the networking
market the official market for 10Gigabit Ethernet spanned about 9 million ports in 2011.
J.R. Rivers declines to name the companies hes working with at Cumulus Networks, but he
confirms that some of the big-name web outfits are already buying networking switches from
ODMs in Asia. In all likelihood, these companies are also purchasing switches from other sources
as well. Cisco says it has a significant presence and mindshare in the big-name web market, and
Juniper says it has a relationship with all of the top five web players, pointing out that data
center networks require more gear than just switches. But the market is on the move.
The Future of Web Giant 3.0
We are continuously exploring new infrastructure technologies that may evolve further
efficiencies across our portfolio. We normally have discussions with ODMs and large and small
OEMs to better understand their capabilities and evaluate their products, reads a statement sent
to Wired by a Microsoft spokesperson and attributed to Dileep Bhandarkar, a distinguished
engineer who oversees the data centers driving Microsofts online services. But the statement did
not specifically address the purchase of networking gear.
Amazon did not respond to a request for comment about its hardware practices, and a Google
spokeswoman sent us a one-sentence statement: We work with a variety of vendors to
manufacture the equipment we use in our data centers, she said. These two companies
particularly Google are rather tightlipped about their data center practices.
This supply chain change is nascent. But its the most exciting thing going on in Silicon Valley
right now
Facebook declined to discuss how it purchases networking gear, but in response to the secretive
approach of Amazon and Google, the company has openly discussed some of its other practices,
and it has actually shared its server and data center designs with the rest of the world. It
purchases its servers directly from Quanta and Wistron, another Taiwanese ODM.
Martin Casado the chief technology officier of a third Silicon Valley networking startup, Nicira
confirms that the hardware market is shifting to Asia. Offering a software platform that
virtualizes networking gear in much the same way that VMware virtualized servers, Nicira helps
some of the big web players build their networks. The Nicira platform was designed specifically
for companies along the lines of Google that want to use cheap commodity switches to physically
construct their network but then do all the complex management in software.
If youre building web giant 3.0, you can go to Quanta in Taiwan and buy crates of switches,
he says. This supply chain change is nascent. But its the most exciting thing going on in Silicon
Valley right now.
Google Goes to Asia
Exclusive: Google, Amazon, and Microsoft Swarm China for Network ...

According to J.R. Rivers, Google began work on its custom-built networking switches in early
2005, before he arrived at the company. In the beginning, River says, Google worked in tandem
with Quanta and other Asian ODMs, but eventually, the web giant took all the engineering work
in house. Basically, Rivers says, the company wasnt happy with the work the ODMs did at the
time. Google engineers would design the switches, and then they would bring the completed
designs to contract manufacturers in Asia, outfits along the lines of Foxconn, the Asian company
that builds Apples iPhones and iPads.
Google has never discussed its practices publicly, but rumors have long indicated that the
company built its networking switches in this way. In 2007, research analyst Andrew Schmitt
noticed that certain manufacturers were producing enormous numbers of chips for 10Gigabit
Ethernet switches but that the switches themselves werent actually turning up on the market. It
didnt make sense to me why someone would be building so much of a given component if there
were no customers that could use it, he says. What I was able to determine is that Google was
purchasing switch chips straight from the comment suppler.
It didnt make sense to me why someone would be building so much of a given component if
there were no customers that could use it
The switches Google was building typically sat at the top of a rack of servers in the data center,
connecting the servers to the rest of the network. As Juniper points out, this is only part of the
networking hardware used in the data center, but its a large part.
Google, Rivers says, is a unique company. It has the wherewithal and the talent to built its own
switches, but other companies may not be up to the task. With Cumulus Networks, J.R. Rivers
and his partner, Nolan Leake, are trying to grease the wheels. [The other web players] are trying
to figure out what the best model is, and thats one of the reasons we started up, Rivers says.
Google is unique in its willingness to build something just because they know it can be done.
Most other people see a risk/reward trade-off. We seek to minimize that risk.
Though Rivers declined to name the ODMs his company is working with, he says that these are
well-known manufacturers in Taiwan and China. Weve been working for the last year on
opening up a supply chain for traditional ODMs who want to sell the hardware on the open
market for whoever wants to buy, he says. For the buyers, there can be some very meaningful
cost savings. Companies like Cisco and Force10 are just buying from these same ODMs and
marking things up. Now, you can go directly to the people who manufacture it.
This has become possible in recent years, Rivers says, because the ODMs have slowly acquired
more and more engineering talent. You can now buy commodity gear from more places.
Networking is opening up much like the transition from mainframes to RISC machines and later
to x86 servers, says Rivers partner, Nolan Leake. Were moving towards a world where
customers have more control over their destiny.
The Arms Dealer
Before spinning Pica8 out of Quanta, James Liao was already selling similar networking switches
to the big web players. Niciras Martin Casado refers to James Liao as the arms dealer in this
networking revolution. Hes the conduit between the rest of the world and Quanta. He knows
this space better than anyone, Casado says. And I love him because he talks like hes part of
organized crime.
From July 2009 to September 2011, Liao was the senior director at Quanta in charge of product
strategy for network switching and data center products. He was based in Silicon Valley, and his
job was to serve the giants of the web. He declines to go into much detail about how these
companies acquire their hardware, but hes unequivocal in saying that the other big companies
Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook are now following Googles lead in going directly to Asia for
their gear.

Howard Wu the president of greater China for Joyent, an Amazon-like cloud computing outfit
based in San Francisco agrees. If youre a small business and youre going to buy five servers,
youre going to Dell or HP, because of the support services. But if youre a data center operator

and youre going to buy 10,000 servers, youre going straight [to the ODMs], he says. Its kind
like buying couches. If you buy one, you go to a retail store. If you buy 10,000 couches, you go
straight to the factory.
That said, Joyent is not yet buying its gear from the ODMs.
We are definitely in talks, but it hasnt actually happened yet, he says. We have other
contractual obligations right now. The market has not completely shifted to Asia. Its moving in
stages. These web companies have many suppliers thats just good for businesses and in
some cases, theyre still buying hardware from the traditional players perhaps because they
still have contracts in place. Facebook, for instance, is still buying some servers from Dell and
HP. And Amazon is still buying custom servers from Rackable, a stateside manufacturer, and
apparently other outfits based here in America.
The hardware supply chain is vast and varied. But its consolidating. Now that they have the
engineering talent, J.R. Rivers says, the ODMs are transforming into OEMs. The market is
maturing to the point where anyone can buy directly from ODMs, he says. You dont have to be
Update: In response to this story which refers to Pica8 as a spin-off of Quanta Quanta sent
Wired a statement that reads: Pica8 has licensed technology from Quanta and is not a spin
off of Quanta. Quanta has no ownership interest in Pica8 and has never owned Pica8s

That's comforting because there is no way china is slipping chips into them to spy on us.
They are our friends.
We are talking hardware, not software. Unless it was built right into the bios, that
would be pretty hard to do.
No, gman, it would NOT be hard to do. I work in hardware design and it's
VERY easy...

I've raved about this book before, but I want to show you what progress we've made. We're only up to lesson 11 (we're taking it slow) but my children's drawing skills have improved dramatically from this $8 book.
This drawing was done by five year old Hezekiah.
This was drawn by 7 year old Jubilee.
And this by 12 year old Judah.
I show this random sampling, just so you can see what type of work they are producing. Not only are they drawing specific things from the book (i.e. a bucket on a three legged stool, or a dog bone in a dish) but these newly learned skills are showing up in their creative work as well.
Here is a post I wrote a year ago, talking about the philosophy behind the book. I am amazed at how well they are doing, and all without expensive art lessons. I dare you to buy this book and teach your children to draw!

This paper discusses the use of the trimmed mean as a core inflation indicator when the price changes distribution is fat tailed and asymmetric and computes several asymmetric trimmed means that meet all the conditions suggested in Marques et al. (2000). It turns out that the 10 per cent trimmed mean centred on the 51.5th percentile is the one with the lowest volatility and so, its use, as a core inflation indicator, is recommended.

Innovation for Inclusive Growth 2010
Addressing social and economic development issues in 'Energy and Environment'
Thursday 15 April 2010
Lecture Theatre G34
Sir Alexander Fleming Building
Imperial College London
Aims of the conference
Don't miss speakers like:
- Professor John Beddington
- Peter Head
- Sir Brian Hoskins
- Professor Gerry George
The primary purpose of the conference is to highlight innovation in organisations to foster 'inclusive growth'. More than one billion people live in extreme poverty and more than 1.5 billion people have no access to electricity. The effects of climate change are felt more painfully in less developed and emerging economies. Businesses are constrained in finding solutions to help address these problems through partnerships with local, national, and international organisations. New technological insights, new business models, and new forms of organising are essential to succeed.
The goal of this event is to encourage and showcase innovation for inclusive growth and provide a forum to share opportunities and challenges in energy and environment. The explicit aim is to build on technological and managerial strengths in the UK to address social and economic challenges in less developed parts of the world.
How you can benefit from the conference
We focus on 'energy and environment' as a specific area where businesses and academics can engage to shape policy and practice. Our goal is to share leading technological and managerial practices in the following as they apply to the social and economic development:
- Renewable energy technologies and managerial challenges
- Alternative models to energy generation and consumption
- Rural electrification, technologies, and business models
- Urban infrastructure, design, and development
- Cities of the future
Who should attend
Industry practitioners and academics who are engaged in innovation at low cost, innovation that serves underdeveloped or developing economies in the following specific areas:
- Energy and environment
- Urban design
To register for the event
Please register for the event here.

Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Kfor – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 30th October 2000.
I do not accept that analysis of the problem. The training that we are conducting is quite separate from the United Nations mission in Sierra Leone. We have offered extra headquarters staff to UNAMSIL to give it some assistance in deploying its forces as well as provided substantial assistance to the Government of Sierra Leone. We believe that the best way of assisting that Government is to make sure that they have forces on which they can call to resist the rebel forces in Sierra Leone.

ClickFunnels vs. Everyone Else.
Lots of people ask how ClickFunnels compares with other landing web page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.
For the most part it's not actually a reasonable contrast due to the fact that each of these devices stands out is one area or the various other.
The chart over offers a thorough evaluation – yet I'll highlight some of the major comparisons listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the large canine.
Leadpages is simply a lead capture software program – absolutely nothing more. You can create landing web pages, lead boxes, accumulate leads … that's virtually it. Additionally, the Leadpages layouts are additionally restricted on customization.
ClickFunnels is far more flexible – it's much easier to make use of and also does so a lot more compared to produce lead capture pages.
Simply put, Leadpages is really just a landing page building contractor, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around building extremely integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing page or sales page contractor. It has several of that capability constructed it, but that's not just what it's known for.
At it's core, Infusionsoft is a CRM system – one that enables you to handle your whole consumer database. ClickFunnels has this capacity with Actionetics, but it's not almost as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is likewise very costly and also pressures every new consumer to pay $2000 for a mandatory kickstart coaching package simply to find out ways to use the complicated system (which is infamously difficult to make use of).
ClickFunnels Associate Program
There are two major courses people decrease as ClickFunnels individuals.
Those that decide to use the tool for their service – in hopes of someday achieve both Comma Club (over $1M in earnings).
As well as those that have an interest in gaining easy earnings as a ClickFunnels Associate as well as winning the Dream Automobile Competition (where they pay $500/$1000 in the direction of your dream cars and truck if you get to 100/200 energetic month-to-month signups, specifically).
With a whopping 40% monthly persisting payment, ClickFunnels easily has among the best associate programs of any system around.
That's right – you earn money an ongoing 40% commission on every affiliate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. But, what does that truly equate to?
The basic strategy is a $97/month investment as well as the Etison Suite plan is a $297/month investment. as a result you make $38.80 each fundamental strategy as well as $118.80 per Etison Collection strategy … every single month!
Typically, every 100 signups will bring in $4000/month in associate compensations (essentially depending on how many Etison Strategy users remain in there).

JoniAn Unforgettable Story
By Joni Eareckson Tada

Chapter OneThe hot July sun was setting low in the west and gave the waters of Chesapeake Bay a warm red glow. The water was murky, and as my body broke the surface in a dive, its cold cleanness doused my skin.
In a jumble of actions and feelings, many things happened simultaneously. I felt my head strike something hard and unyielding. At the same time, clumsily and crazily, my body sprawled out of control. I heard or felt a loud electric buzzing, an unexplainable inner sensation. It was something like an electrical shock, combined with a vibration-like a heavy metal spring being suddenly and sharply uncoiled, its "sprong" perhaps muffled by the water. Yet it wasn't really a sound or even a feeling-just a sensation. I felt no pain.
I heard the underwater sound of crunching, grinding sand. I was lying face down on the bottom. Where? How did I get here? Why are my arms tied to my chest? My thoughts screamed. Hey! I'm caught!
I felt a small tidal undercurrent lift me slightly and let me settle once more on the bottom. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw light above me. Some of the confusion left. I remembered diving into the bay. Then what? Am I caught in a fishnet or something? I need to get out! I tried to kick. My feet must be tied or caught too!
Panic seized me. With all my willpower and strength, I tried to break free. Nothing happened. Another tidal swell lifted and rolled.
What's wrong? I hit my head. Am I unconscious? Trying to move is like trying to move in a dream. Impossible. But I'll drown! Will I wake up in time? Will someone see me? I can't be unconscious, or I wouldn't be aware of what's happening. No, I'm alive.
I felt the pressure of holding my breath begin to build. I'd have to breathe soon.
Another tidal swell gently lifted me. Fragments of faces, thoughts, and memories spun crazily across my consciousness. My friends. My parents. Things I was ashamed of. Maybe God was calling me to come and explain these actions.
"Joni!" A somber voice echoed down some eerie corridor, almost as a summons. God? Death?
I'm going to die! I don't want to die! Help me, please.
Doesn't anyone care that I'm here? I've got to breathe!
"Joni!" That voice! Muffled through the waters, it sounded far off. Now it was closer. "Joni, are you all right?"
Kathy! My sister sees me. Help me, Kathy! I'm stuck!
The next tidal swell was a little stronger than the rest and lifted me a bit higher. I fell back on the bottom, with broken shells, stones, and sand grating into my shoulders and face.
"Joni, are you looking for shells?"
No! I'm caught down here-grab me! I can't hold my breath any longer.
"Did you dive in here? It's so shallow," I heard Kathy clearly now.
Her shadow indicated she was now above me. I struggled inwardly against panic, but I knew I had no more air. Everything was going dark.
I felt Kathy's arms around my shoulders, lifting.
Oh, please, dear God. Don't let me die!
Kathy struggled, stumbled, then lifted again. Oh, God, how much longer? Everything was black, and I felt I was falling while being lifted. Just before fainting, my head broke the water's surface. Air! Beautiful, life-giving, salt-tinged air. I choked in oxygen so quickly, I almost gagged. Gasping, I gulped in mouthfuls.
"Oh, thank You, God-thank You!" I managed.
"Hey, are you okay?" Kathy asked. I blinked to clear my mind and dissolve the confusion. It didn't seem to work because I saw my arm slung lifelessly over Kathy's shoulder, yet I felt it was still tied to my chest.
I looked down at my chest. My arms were not tied. I realized with a growing horror that my limbs were dangling motionlessly. I couldn't move them!
In the confusion, Kathy took charge. She called to a nearby swimmer on an inflated raft. Together they wrestled me onto it and pushed it toward shore. I heard the raft beneath me slide against the sandy beach.
I tried to get up but felt pinned against the raft. People began to hurry over to see what had happened. Soon there was a crowd hovering above me, faces looking down in curiosity. Their stares and whispers made me feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, and even more confused.
"Kathy, please make them leave."
"Yes, everyone stand back! Someone call an ambulance. Move away, please. She needs air," Kathy instructed.
Kathy's boyfriend, Butch, knelt beside me. His lean frame shielded me from the crowd, now moving back. "You okay, kid?" he asked. His large dark eyes, usually smiling and full of good-natured fun, were clouded with concern.
"Kathy-I can't move!" I was frightened. I could see they were too.
Kathy nodded.
"Hold me!"
"I am, Joni." She lifted my hands to show that she was grasping them firmly.
"But I can't feel it. Squeeze me."
Kathy bent over and held me close. I couldn't feel her hug.
"Can you feel this?" She touched my leg.
"No," I said.
"This?" She squeezed my forearm.
"No!" I cried. "I can't feel it!"
"How about this?" Her hand slid from my arm to rest on my shoulder.
"Yes! Yes, I can feel that!"
Relief and joy suddenly came over us. At last, somewhere on my body, I could feel something. As I lay there on the sand, I began to piece things together. I had hit my head diving; I must have injured something to cause this numbness. I wondered how long it would last.
"Don't worry," I reassured Butch and Kathy-and myself. "The Lord won't let anything happen to me. I'll be all right."
I heard the wail of a siren. Soon the ambulance pulled up and doors opened. In less than a minute, attendants efficiently lifted me onto a stretcher. Somehow their starched white uniforms were comforting as they carefully placed me in the back of the ambulance. The crowd of curious onlookers followed.
Kathy started to climb up into the ambulance.
Butch took her hand and said softly, "I'll follow in the car." Then he nodded sternly to the driver. "Be careful with her," he instructed.
The siren began to wail, and we headed away from the beach.
I looked up at the attendant riding beside me and said, "I hate to put you to all this trouble. I think once I catch my breath I'll be okay. I'm sure the numbness will wear off shortly."
He didn't say anything but reached over and brushed sand off my face, smiled, and looked away. I wish he'd say something to let me know I'll be all right-that I'll be going home as soon as the doctors at the hospital check me over, I thought.
But no comforting words were offered. I was left to my own thoughts and prayers as the siren wailed. I looked through the window at the city speeding by outside.
The Lord is my shepherd ...
People on curbs stared curiously.
I shall not want ...
Cars pulled over to let us pass.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ...
The ambulance slowed and turned down a busy boulevard.
He restoreth my soul ...
I could not collect my thoughts enough to pray. I clung to memorized promises from the Bible.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me....
Suddenly the ambulance siren growled into silence. The driver backed up to the doors of the hospital, and the attendants quickly began to ease my stretcher out. As they swung me smoothly through the doors, I saw the sign:
Emergency Vehicles Only
By now the city sky was dark; the sun had set. I was cold and longed to be home.
Inside, the emergency area was alive with activity. I was taken into a room and placed on a hospital table with wheels. The light hurt my eyes. As I turned my face to avoid its glare, I could see all the equipment and supplies arranged in ready rows. Bottles, gauze, bandages, trays, scissors, scalpels, jars, packets with long, medical-sounding names, and unfamiliar shapes were all about. The antiseptic smells and pungent odors made me slightly queasy.
A nurse strapped me to the table and wheeled me into one of the many small cubicles. She pulled privacy curtains around me. Again I struggled desperately to move my arms and legs. They were still numb and motionless. I feel so helpless. I'm getting sick. I'm scared. Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Can't you tell me what's happened to me?" I begged.
The nurse merely shrugged and began to take off my rings. "The doctor will be here soon. Now, I'm going to put your jewelry in this envelope. Regulations."
"How long do I have to stay here? Can I go home tonight?"
"I'm sorry. You'll have to ask the doctor. Regulations." Her answer was emotionless and reminded me of a telephone recording.
Another nurse came into the cubicle with forms to fill out.
"Name, please."
"Joni Eareckson."
"Johnny? J-o-h-n-n-y?"
"No. It's pronounced Johnny-after my father-but it's spelled J-o-n-i. Last name is E-a-r-e-c-k-s-o-n." Then I gave her my address, my folks' name and number, and asked her to call them.
"Do you have Blue Cross?"
"I don't know. Ask my folks-or my sister. She's probably outside. She was with me at the beach. Her name is Kathy. Ask her."
The nurse with the clipboard left. The other put the envelope with my belongings in it on a nearby table. Then she opened a drawer and pulled out a big pair of shears.
"W-what are you going to do?" I stammered.
"I've got to remove your swimming suit."
"But don't cut it! It's brand-new. I just got it-and it's my fav-"
"Sorry. Regulations," She repeated. The heavy ch-cluk, ch-cluk, ch-cluk of the shears echoed off the plaster walls. She pulled the ruined scraps of material off and dropped them in a waste can. She didn't even care. The suit didn't mean a thing to her. I wanted to cry.

When i first read this book it was simply just a 'school asignment' i picked up the book thinking ' o great another biography' but by the second page i was into it. This is definitely a book that anyone would love, especially teens in need of the truth.
Great inspirational story. We follow through the life of Joni, her tragic diving accident, her struggles through all the operations, her anger with God, her desperation with trying to deal with it all, and in the end, how she was able to find hope and purpose. Very inspiring to all of us who face challenges, although rarely as great as hers. She has real struggles and admits it. She's okay with that. But she has found something to get her through and she honestly wants to share that with us. It is also enlightening to hear about the prejudice she encounters, and how people are uncomfortable around the wheel-chair, it gives insight into how her and many other people with disabilities feel. A must-read. :)
this book was very good. At first i didnt wana read it but it help me undrstand life better and the struggles. it was just a report assignment at school but it was very interesting to read good job.
I have not read this version. But the 1975 version riveted me as a young child. It gripped me from her accident on page one. Not being a Christian I am not sure I will buy this version. I am unsure if it become preachy. I know the original was about tragedy, bravery, and learning how to adapt. I wish I could find another copy as it appeared in 1975. I was born in 1971.
At first when my mom made me read this i thought it would be boring but i learned so much from joni! It just wonderful!
This is story has stood the test of time, and so has the person. Joni was an ordinary teenager who went through some extraordinary circumstances. This story tells of her swimming accident that left her a quadraplegic and of the years that followed of how she and those around her coped with her handicap. It is a moving story that has a moving ending, but if you have followed the life of Joni, the story still hasn't ended and it continues to get more surprising.
Inspiring, heart warming, heart wrenching, truely unforgettable story of Joni Eareksons fight to recover from a diving accident at the age of 16 that left her paralised. The physical struggle to health is told along side Jonis' life and relationship with God.This really is one book that once read you will never forget.
Joni - An Unforgettable Story - is an inspirational autobiography of Joni Eareckson Tada - Christian artist, speaker, wife, friend, sister - who happens to be a paraplegic who has been in a wheelchair for half a century. But that isn't the most important thing about Joni. The most important thing is her faith, perseverancen and allowing herself to be used by God to touch people's lives with her story, from the day of the diving accident to 1975, with updates at the end of the book. Highly recommended.

A great book about a womans strength of character and faith in God.
So inspiring... read it over and over again. She and Bethany Hamilton both have an amazing story
I have the original version, 1976. I did a school project on Joni in my high school, the book was not assigned. I am still on a quest to see or buy the movie version. I wrote a letter to Joni and was very grateful when she replied, not just with a letter back but some cards of art that she had done. I still have them, its been really hard to send them to people as it still awes me when I look at them as a 'fellow artist' hopeful, as to the control and gift that she has.
