Isle of Dogs faces threat of population boom
Shocking figures reveal the population of the Isle of Dogs has nearly doubled in the last decade - and could be set to rocket in the future with a flurry of development on the horizon.
The numbers were highlighted by Cllr Peter Golds who says there is a major threat of overdevelopment on the Island, which surrounds Canary Wharf.
There were 24,831 people in the wards of Millwall, Cubitt Town and Blackwall back in 2001, rising to 46,410 last year. The list of major developments either approved or currently under consideration by Tower Hamlets Council in these areas is at 17.
According to Cllr Golds, the potential population, calculated at an average of two persons per flat, is another 25,854, meaning the number of inhabitants on the Island is predicted to grow to 71,241 in the coming years.
"These are extraordinary figures," said Cllr Golds, who represents Blackwall and Cubitt Town.
"It's not only education and health that worry me but issues such as water pressure.
"With so many flats at the top of these buildings needing water pumped up it has an impact on the whole island. Then there's mobile phone reception and broadband which is already notoriously poor. And, as for the transport, what is Crossharbour station going to be like? What's the future for those of us who live here?"
He said the pressure on services was already at breaking point. Currently there are nine schools on the Island - with just one of those secondary - and only five NHS medical practices.
Cllr Golds is backed by his fellow Conservative councillors on the Isle of Dogs. Cllr Zara Davis, who represents Millwall, opposed an application for a development on the same grounds.
"Squashing such a huge number of people into such a small area will have a negative impact on residents' quality of life," she said. "The local infrastructure is not designed to cope with such a high number of residents."
Cllr Gloria Thienel pointed out many families were already having to send their children to schools off the Isle of Dogs.
She has also campaigned to save the Island's only petrol station, which last month was condemned when the new Asda development was given the go-ahead by Tower Hamlets Council.
While many of the developments have been given approval there is little sign of building work. In many cases finance is still needed for construction and off-plan sales are needed to convince banks to back the schemes.
Carl Mulvey, managing director of Stonewater Property on the Isle of Dogs, said the future would not be a disaster.
"If there were 17-odd developments put up today it would cause a problem and certainly not be good for the market," he said. "But these will be phased in over years as developers look at what others are doing.
"However, as they come in, responsible development is needed and it's also down to the local council to ensure the facilities, such as libraries, are in place."
Mayor of Tower Hamlets Lutfur Rahman said: "Our borough is at the heart of a global city and this growth indicates a thriving and exciting place where people want to live and work.
"Whilst I am of course concerned about the demands of supporting a growing population at times of government cuts, the council has effective plans in place for growth, including using tools such as population projections for our work on planning for pupil places.
"The council is well placed to manage, and benefit from, this growth and I'm committed to continuing to support it with my plans for 4000 additional new homes and our ongoing work to support our residents, especially the borough's younger people, into work."

"Our borough is at the heart of a global city and this growth indicates a thriving and exciting place where people want to live and work."
Yeah, right. He doesn't live of the Isle of Dogs, and certainly won't be going through the pain of trying to get fuel for his car - especially when he'll have to get through rush-hour grid lock to get to the nearest petrol station off the Island.
And as for you, Mr Asda... well....
So, you're the council, get on and build the services! It can hardly be a surprise that the population has grown - have you not seen all the development? Have you not noticed a big increase in Council Tax take? Clearly you have funds coming in to pay for these services, don't blame others, get on and do something about it.
A population boom is an opportunity not a threat. A gold-plated chance to build a modern, exciting, dynamic community -- a place where people want to visit as well as live and work. Let's hope Tower Hamlets Council can deliver.

Amandari, Ubud
Editor's Pick
Ubud , Bali
Tel: 62 361 975 333
Concierge.com's insider take:
If you want a sense of how life is lived in a typical Balinese village, Amandari purports to provide it. And the property's 31 low stone-and-teak villas, set among terraced rice fields overlooking the Ayung River gorge, do look like the region's traditional homes. The river-stone pathways winding around the grounds, planted with plumeria and banana trees and decorated with stone carvings, also have an old-world authenticity. But the similarity pretty much ends there. Not too many local villagers' houses have Javanese-marble floors or sunken oversized tubs in glass-walled bathrooms. Or, for that matter, private outdoor pavilions for spa treatments, or a glittering green-tiled infinity pool where musicians serenade during dinner hour. (Not that the guests are complaining about any of this.) The resort hosts several cultural-immersion experiences, though; one of the most popular is the trip to a local market with the restaurant's chef, who teaches guests about the produce for sale and shows them how to use it in traditional Balinese dishes.

When Pogreba Farms went looking for our new quarter horse stallion we wanted a superior quality stallion that would be the cornerstone of our breeding program. This stallion needed to have excellent balance and confirmation, more size than most modern day performance horses, and strong bones and feet to pass on to his foals. Zans Mr Red Buck exceeds our expectations of that ideal sire. His pedigree is a perfect blend of looks and athletic ability while maintaining 85% foundation quarter horse. He stands approximately 15.1 hands and weights 1250 pounds.
Even though the top and bottom of his pedigree is packed with AQHA Performance Champions, we don't compete in the show pen with Zans Mr Red Buck. Instead he is used on the farm the same as any mare or gelding. Zans Mr Red Buck has a gentle, easy going personality that anyone can get along with. Our belief is that he'll pass these traits on to his foals. His first foals will be born spring 2014.
We breed about 10-15 mares each spring and have a limited book available for outside mares. If you are looking for that special sire of your next foal, then you should consider Zans Mr Red Buck. Not only will he sire good looking, athletic colts, but he'll produce color every time.

Every once in a while I need to remember that a whole country is continuing on with life as normal without me. I don't think about it all that much, but pangs of regret flit through me whenever I remember. Here are some of the bigger things going on/have happened.
1) Burger King delivers. Enough said. I already know the first meal I'll be eating when I get home. And I also know where I'll be able to eat it. ANYWHERE!
2) The Jersey Shore TV show still exists. This aroused a feeling of regret, but of a different kind.
3) March Madness: I'll admit, without the Butler Bulldogs representin' I probably wouldn't have been that involved anyway. But I give them a tip of the hat: it was very nice to put an off year exactly when I exit the country. I'm sure they're already preparing for the next year.
4) My youngest sister Maria's confirmation: only days before I return. ARGGGGGHHHH!!!
Of course, it's not all bad. I have managed to find creative ways to unleash my pent-up frustration. The picture below is a prime example.

Once I finally came out to myself that I am Bi, I felt that I should tell at least one person so that I didn't have to continue to hide.
First I picked one of my good friends. The only bad thing is, that she is the daughter of a LCMS pastor. (NOTE: all of my friends are Lutheran, because I go to a private LCMS Lutheran School) She took it pretty well actually. She told me that she won't like my decision (even though its not really a decision) but that she will respect it and she told me that no matter what happenes, she will never leave me.
She was the person who took it the best.
Then I decided to somewhat tell a guy friend of mine. We were walking to the mall and I told him about the girl who asked me online if I was straight. I then casuasilly asked him what he would do if I was GLBT. His reply was that he would physically hit me- with a Bible. We then both dropped the topic until we were at the lunch table one day and he started to joke about it. I told him that what he said was offensive and he was all "Well it's not like you're gay, I mean you do have a boyfriend." When he said that, I turned to him and said "Doesn't mean I'm perfectly straight or gay, I go both ways." That shut him up, and he has pretty much tried to ignore it now. If he does bring it up, he makes fun on me. He also signed my yearbook "What would Jesus do?" and "Fully rely on Jesus" We also had a fight online about it (I might post it sometime) he told me that I have a disease that can be cured or controlled.
My ex boyfriend was really really accepting of me. He still treats me the same, and it hasn't changed his opinion of me for the worse. He actually thinks highly of me for being true to myself, even if I'm being made fun of for it.
I asked another friend what he thought about GLBT people and he told me that it's against the Bible and that they are going to burn in hell for their decision to like the same gender.
Those are the only people I have told. I don't wanna risk it getting around too fast. It's hard enough as it is, I already don't get good sleep at night, because I'm thinking about the whole burning in hell thing. I don't need school to get too awful yet.
My next entry will be about what happened when I sorta revealed myself to my mom and aunt.

Miley Cyrus ''loves being a fiancée''.
The 19-year-old actress got engaged to boyfriend Liam Hemsworth earlier this month and expressed that she was enjoying her new status in twitter.
She posted: ''I love being a 'fiancee.'''
Previous to that Miley had written on the micro-blogging website: ''Will I ever quit staring at my finger?''
Liam, 22, proposed to his 'Last Song' co-star with a 3.5 carat diamond ring from Neil Lane after dating her for three years.
Apparently he did not ask her father Billy Ray Cyrus for her hand in marriage as tradition suggests.
A friend of the actor revealed that the pair have no immediate plans to tie the knot.
The insider told Us Weekly: ''They are both mature and ready for this. Miley is 19 going on 40. Right now they are enjoying being engaged. There is no rush.''
Jada Pinkett Smith has given Miley advice about getting married young.
The 'Madagascar 3' star - who will celebrate her 15th wedding anniversary to Will Smith on Dec 31 - says that Miley and her fiancé must first have a good friendship base.
She said ''Learn how to be friends, especially when you are starting that young.''

Requirements for the Major
The Japanese program trains students to achieve fluency in the Japanese language and to think critically about Japanese literature and culture. Japanese majors follow a parallel track, taking language courses and literature/culture courses in translation that culminates in advanced work on literature in Japanese at the 300-level. To this end, students are strongly encouraged to begin their study of the language in the first-year. A junior year, a semester, or a summer of intensive language study in Japan is encouraged.
The major consists of a minimum of eight units and normally includes JPN 202, 231, 232, and five additional units. At least two must be nonlanguage units, and at least two must come from the 300 level (to be taken within the department). Students entering with advanced language preparation may substitute alternate language units as necessary with departmental permission. JPN 101-102 and 201 may be counted toward the degree, but not toward the major. Students who have completed 314 or the equivalent may request to do an independent study using the Japanese language (350). Those who wish to do an independent study that does not require the Japanese language should register for 250. An advisor should be chosen from within the department.

[100 Things] [Places to Visit]

Wednesday, May 05, 2010
May already????
The job has been picking up speed and travelling has begun. I've gone twice up to Canada and I know that there are a few more trips in store over the next 3 months.
The house continues to develop. With the help of my parents I've painted my office and almost have that room finished....still up is some spot paintingm woodwork and of course installing bookshelves - can not have an office without bookshelves right?
The craft room has taken the backburner....I have organized my craft books but still need to decide on shelving etc for the yarn and other miscellaneous tools.
I did decide that I needed to use up some of the yarn so I decided on working on a blanket. I started a Granny Square Baby Blanket in Periwinkle, Rose and White. I am about 1/2 way finished - I work on it each night for about 10 minutes to unwind right before bed. Yes, I am procrastinating on making the Star Afghan again.
I also found several UFOs floating around as I unpacked my books and went through some of the yarn totes....I figure I will be guilted into finishing them eventually.....then again maybe not! ;)

I need to vent...and some advice...no lecturing, please
I moved a little over a year ago to be with a man I met online. Things really have been wonderful, except now he seems to be cycling, and of course when the depression hits, it's because of something I've done, or not done, and always something of a personal nature.
I do have some experience with mental health issues. My ex husband was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after almost ten years of symptoms. I really don't want to be on this roller coaster ride again, where everything is my fault. OK, I know that it's NOT my fault, but when he's depressed, and it's because of something he thinks I've done, I feel like crap and don't know how or even if I should defend myself. Usually when this happens, it comes without warning and on the heels of him feeling great, then POW....he shuts down, mopes, and after 3 or 4 days of giving him space, I make him talk about it. That's when I find out something that I allegedly did to cause him to feel this way. Sometimes, it's been a misunderstanding, most times, what ever I did or said was taken the wrong way. I love this man, but I don't know how much more I can take. I feel I'm being emotionally abused. He has not been diagnosed. We have talked about the possibility of him being bipolar, and he says he hasn't been able to find a dr. I think he just doesn't want to know for sure.
I have been clinically depressed in the past, haven't been on any meds for about 4 years and been doing great up until now. It would be so easy to shut down, but I don't want back in that black pit of depression. Maybe I'm the one who needs to go see a therapist?
Yes...you need to see the right health care ptofessional. You must take care of yourself first. Then, if you feel so inclined, you'll be better able to deal with the mental illness of the boyfriend. Or get the strength to leave and be on your own.
Jean, the situation you describe is crazy-making. I can recommend a book, Contagious Emotions (used prices are reasonable), and second the suggestion that you consult with a therapist of your own, but I also recommend that you take a hard look at how much more time and emotion you can realistically invest in this relationship while maintaining your own mental health.
You've been through something similar already, and you're right--you don't want to do it again.
Why is this so common? Divorce one spouse then marry the exact same type again. You loved your husband once too. If you weren't willing/able to fix, adjust, live with his issues what makes you want to with this one? What makes you think you can? He needs to be on meds. He needs to get in control of himself, he, he, he...you need to________. You know what goes in the blank. Shorter term sorrow for long time PAIN.
I have no experience with this whatsoever, but I think you both should see someone. I commend you for not just baling out at the first rough spot, for at least willing to find a solution. Too many people these days cut and run when the "stars and the moon feelings" go away.
Obviously you can't make him go, but you can go yourself and hopefully find the help you need to understand and deal with him if that's what you choose to do.
Good luck, I'll be praying for you.
Jean, I can relate to what you're going through, and yes - we tend to fall for the same personality type time after time. He has a chemical imbalance in his brain and needs to get a diagnosis and medication. I wish you strength and courage to do what you know you must do.
Come and talk/vent any time you want - we are here to listen.
Good Morning Jean,
Anyone who has followed my posts can testify that I suffer from a very advanced Bi-polar condition which is officially known as "Advanced Manic-Depression", and on two or three occassions I have made some rather lengthy posts describing what its like living with this condition. In my case I can be the life of the party for weeks, then all of the sudden, without any warning as if someone turned the lights out, I can instantly go into a near suicidal state of depression which may last an hour or it may last months. As if that isn't enough, when I go into the depression mode I also suffer from Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia (the fear of leaving the house). In fact, just last fall I went through a bout where I did not leave the house, not even to check the mailbox on the front porch or go out in the back yard from the first of October until well into February.
I wish Jan could be here to testify to what I am about to tell you. When ppl with a Bi-polar condition slump into the depressive state one of the first things that goes to way side is personal hygene. I have been known to wear the same clothes for two or three weeks, and went 4 or 5 weeks between showers, and Jan could tell you, just the mere mention that I need a shower will result in an argument of some sort. When I go into that state quite often Jan will just wait till I undress for bed, then she will quietly snatch the clothes and put them in the laundry, then she lays out a similar outfit so they are ready to put on when I wake up. Sometimes she lays the clean clothes out in the bathroom and when I ask what happened to my clothes she will say, "I laid them out in the bathroom, along with your shower things in case you might want to take a shower". Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't, but either way, it beats arguing about taking a shower.
Let us talk about how YOU deal with this problem?
First off, DO NOT martire yourself by accepting blame when the incidents break out. The problem is in your hubbies brain, but even he doesn't know it, and given that he doesn't know it, he is not prepared to deal with it.
Now taking this to the next level, most men are extremely reluctant to see a head shrink because they feel that merely talking to a shrink will label them as crazy, which of course challenges their manhood. And I can guarantee that the more you suggest he see a doctor the more hesitant or totally resistant he will become.
So what can you do? Well, here is the time for women to do the one thing they are exceptionally good at, get sneaky...LOL.
First off, I have had to psychiatrists tell me that there is nothing in the meds for Bi-polar that would normally require a prescription except for the fact that the drugs are still in clinical trials.. There is another alternative. The primary active ingredient in the Meds is "Sertraline". If you go to a health food store and get a bottle of "St.John's Wart" and take two capsules a day it will have basically the same effect. Now whether you get the prescription meds or the St.Johns Wart keep in mind that it takes about 7 to 10 days to build up a level in your system to have the required effect.
You also stated that perhaps you should see a shrink to help you manage the problem. Great idea, but ask your shink to take it to the next level. After you have had a couple sessions ask the shrink to ask your hubby come in for consultation with you. Tell hubby that the shrink needs hubbies input to wrk on your case. A couple joint sessions then the shrink will have enough info that he could quietly take hubby aside and give him the meds telling him it will make it easier for him to deal with your problem. Once the meds have him stabilized the doctor will be able to explain it all to him.
Sometimes people fall in love but soon find out it's a "toxic" love so beware that you're not following a pattern, your post indicates that you feel like it's happening all over again and so it is and now you have to decide the next step. We learn by our mistakes but some often make the same one over and over.
I believe we unconsciously choose similar traumatic situations repeatedly in hopes to conquer it/fix it/prevail over it once and for all.
Similarly, but in regards to spirituality, I've heard that perhaps we are put into circumstances to learn a lesson that our soul needs to learn in this lifetime.
Who knows, but humans do seem to go down the same path over and over until we figure it out. My only advice is to do what you need to to make yourself happy. You can't keep being blamed for someone else's problems that they aren't willing to address. You are not responsible for anyone else's happiness or moods. Anyone that tells you that is being manipulative and needs to do some self-reflection. Perhaps at this time in your life you should do what's right for you and not worry about someone else. I don't know what that means for you, but you can figure that out for yourself. Therapy is a great way to start.
Good luck!
I never could buy that "we choose the same pain over & over".
It sounds to me exactly like blaming the victim.
Why would anybody choose pain?
What makes sense to me is that we really are all "actors on a stage";
we learn our role very early, & forever after, when someone feeds us the right cue, we deliver our lines.
Very nice if your early conditioning grants you the role of the queen, but if you're the scapegoat or victim, this play is not going to get you a happy life.
I my own self think the best thing to do is to..
do someting different.
When you get these cues that it's time for you to coax him, don't coax him.
When it's time to take a verbal or emotional beating, smile & disengage & walk away.
I like lazypup's advice re: St John's Wort, & I'd add one more hint:
oxygenating the blood *always* helps.
Depression makes us not want to move at all (read lp's description of not going into the back yard, etc), but aerobic exercise is the only thing I know that is guaranteed to help without costing a dime.
The trick is doing it (or dragging the other person off to the gym to do it).
The best way I've found to make myself exercise, being the anti-jock that I am, is to obligate myself to other people.
Years ago, when I went through a break-up, I started a Jazzercise class at church.
I was the only one who knew the routines, so I was the leader;
I *had* to be there.
It worked.
The other thing, of course, is that this relationship is a drain & is very likely to keep draining you until you're empty.
Another thing you can change is your involvement in it at all.
I wish you all the best.
"I never could buy that "we choose the same pain over & over".
It sounds to me exactly like blaming the victim.
Why would anybody choose pain?"
People choose pain all the time. There must be a reason. The person is getting 'something' out of it, otherwise they would choose differently. Maybe they aren't going into it consciously aware they are making a decision that will inevitably bring them pain, but if they thought hard enough about it they could probably come to that conclusion.
If you think that by recognizing that human beings often repeat our same mistakes is blaming the victim, you are taking all power away from the "victim". Everyone has some degree of choice. I'm not saying there aren't many things that influence those choices, but there is always some amount of choice. Everyone knows people (or maybe themselves) who make the same mistakes over and over and over. Only that person can make a different choice the next time. I'm not saying it's easy to break a cycle, but it can be done, especially if a person figure out WHY they are making certain choices.
Anyway, probably a topic for a different post, as to not further hijack this one.
Re Lazypup's advice:
Well, here is the time for women to do the one thing they are exceptionally good at, get sneaky...LOL.
I can't comment on the efficacy of St. John's Wort, but when I read the advice about going behind his back I thought immediately of the following: When my DH was sliding into dementia, I remember how awful I felt the first time I had to humor him. After 30 years of being nothing but honest with him, I now had to do things behind his back, and tell him things that might be less than truthful. It had to be done, but the nature of the relationship changed in that moment.
Lazypup's assessment of women aside (and I'm not arguing with it...I can be sneaky for a good cause), you might want to think about the ramifications of this before you decide to do it.
My DH is Bipolar and I have been where you are at. Under no circumstances should you be giving him OTCs or herbs like St. John's wart.
You need to find a time when you both can speak civily and set an ultimatum. If he wants to continue in this relationship he must agree to see a doctor.
If he is Bipolar the best time to talk is when he is depressed or level. You can never never reason with one who is in a manic stage of the illness. When they are depressed is when they are ready to seek help.
There are many drugs available these days besides lithium. The right combination can work wonders but it can s take some time to find it. Another problem is that many Bipolar people are misdiagnosed for years with depression. The average I think , is ten years! Anti-depressants taken alone are extremely dangerous for a Bipolar individual. They can bring up a psychotic episode which is much uglier and far more dangerous than normal manic behavior.
Seeing a therapist for yourself is good idea but be very careful, You need someone who understands the difference between being depressed and living with the depressed or bipolar. Because I have had to exhibit the strength to carry on I myself appeared depressed (probably was,but not clinically) and to this day many who don't understand the circumstances see me as a class A witch with a b. I have learned not to let others judge me and I have also learned to share with others. I am proud of my strength and I make no excuses for it. DH and I agree that it is best for both of us not to hide his illness. We would not if we were dealing with a cancer so why hide a mental condition which is no body's fault? I feel verrry strongly that mental illness has to come out of the closet and the stigma removed. It is insane that the recent focus on health care is free birth control but mental health care is never even talked about. Why isn't therapy covered by insurance? Why do so many companies that cover it only allow 3 or 4 visits a year?
I recommend you contact NAMI. The link is below. They have assistance for both the victims of mental illness and those who live with them. There are all kinds of resources and support groups. You can attend a friends and family group. They have another more intense program called family to family which offers highly effective assistance to those in your situation.
I also recommend these two books. Depression Fallout and both by Anne Sheffield.
Ann also has a website with resources and a forum. Just Google "depression fallout" and it should come up.
Good luck to you both.

You did say that you need some advice (in addition to needing to vent); what you don't want is lecturing. I understand that - no lectures.
I think you've gotten some great advice here. I have zero experience with your situation, so can only offer my heartfelt best wishes to you as you work through this.
You might want to do some research into Borderline Personality Disorder via the Mayo Clinic or WebMD.

You all are wonderful. This is not something I knew about when we met. It's a fairly recent development and has happened maybe 4 times, but it's enough to worry me. We talked about it, and we are going to go to couples counseling to begin with. He's a wonderful man most of the time, very loving and caring and makes me feel beautiful, sexy, and secure...then WHAM.....something I've said or done has thrown him, and I pay for it. The thing is, I usually haven't got a clue what it was!!
I wouldn't say I've gone down the same path. It's just that having him say I'm doing things or saying things that are so out of context with how I meant them is remanisent of what I went through before, and I think that's what scares me.
I was with my first husband for ten years through his illness. He was very paranoid...to the point that he was sure the house was bugged, and I was being blackmailed into prostitution! It was hell, but I loved the man he HAD been, and we'd been married 16 years already. I wasn't about to give up on him. It was only when he refused treatement, and went off his meds and was totally paranoid and delusional, that I HAD to leave for my own safety. That was the worst day of my life.
Wildchild, thank you for the link...I know about NAMI, but I'd forgotten.
Lazypup....you, in all your craziness are a godsend. Thank you. Thank you so much.
To all those sending hugs and prayers, you have "filled my bucket". Heartfelt thanks to you.
So - you're the cause of all of his troubles ... sulks ... black moods ... whatever?
And who the hell was ... before you showed up?
When is this guy going to take charge of his own life ...
... rather than claiming that you're in charge ... controlling ... bulldozing him?
Dad used to tell me ... to pick up my own damn marbles!
((((Jean in WA)))))
ole joyful
"WHAM.....something I've said or done has thrown him, and I pay for it. The thing is, I usually haven't got a clue what it was!!"
uh-oh, I missed the main point entirely.
You did describe his behavior in your original post, but when you said it was depression, I responded to "depression".
Sulking, pouting, giving someone the silent treatment, punishing someone & refusing to discuss what her "transgression" was isn't depression;
it's abuse.
This guy is far from depressed;
he's enjoying himself immensely.
He's causing you anxiety, worry, stress, & guilt, & if he plays his cards right, maybe he'll hit the jackpot & he can push *you* right into a full-blown depression.
No amount of counselling "helps" people who like to cause other people pain;
they usually enjoy the game of outsmarting both their partner/victim and the counsellor, but people who enjoy what they're doing don't change.
The only thing that will change them would be a personality & character transplant, & that's too much to ask of counselling or medication.
You can't make a sadist into a good partner.
This will never get better, & it won't even remain the same;
it will get worse.
Pay attention to what ole joyful said, & pick up your marbles on your way out the door.
I wish you the very best.
Oh, I'm not going to run. This is something he has acknowledged, and more than willing to work on fixing. He knows that, even tho we talk it out (he absolutely did listen to my side) and things are better, he doesn't want to cause me pain again and is eager to have counseling. Yes, we are still in the honeymoon stage. We are still learning about each other and what pushes each others buttons, and what we each need from a relationship. When it's good, it's very very good. Better than anything I've ever known in my 55 years. We will work this out.
Like I said, I needed to vent and needed some advice. Time will tell if I should have taken some of the advice I got here, but until then, I will do what is in my heart to do. I love this man so much, that when I (knowingly or not, intentionally or not) caused him pain, it literally broke my heart. He was in pain. Should he have been? Well, probably not, and that is why we will be going to counseling. He's scared shitless about the possibility of being bipolar, but wants things good between us and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it so.
Thanks again for letting just get this out there. It's helped alot.
Hello again Jean,
First off, let me commend you for your opening statement in your last post, quote-"Oh, I'm not going to run."
Onc upon a time ppl really did try to live up to their vows, To have and to hold, IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH till death do us part, but sadly with the advent of no fault divorce the vows now should read to have as long as you continue to kiss my azz!
From your posts it is obvious that you do truely desire to live out the vows, but that does not mean that you must live a life of pain either. The operative word is "sickness". Would you cut & run if your hubbie was diagnosed with diabetes or heart desease? The same thing is happening here, your hubbie has an illness. The difference being that the illness your hubbie suffers is very easy to treat, and if properly treated it has no long lasting health effects like diabetes or heart disease has.
According to your post you have already completed the most difficult part of his treatment, you have civilly discussed the problem and you are now both in agreement thatsome form of treatment will be necessary.
The problem now is that "He's scared shitless about the possibility of being bipolar". Lets cut to the chase here, he is not scarred that he could be Bi-polar, Both you and he are in agreement that the condition probably exists now,
he is scared that he will be officially listed as such, but you can take my word for it, even if he is officially diagnosed as having a Bi-polar condition only he,his psychiatrist and druggist will be privy to that knowledge unless he opts to tell someone. In fact, from my experience even the psychiatrists now generally tend to have their office in a clinic so when your sitting in the waiting room and you finally get called for treatment the other ppl in the room don't know if your seeing a shrink, an MD, or a proctologist..LOL
Oh yes, if money or a lack of healt insurance is a problem do not let that hold you back. In nearly every community they have clinics that will take you in for consultation for just a couple dollars and all the shrinks I have ever seen (and that is a bunch) will generally give you free samples of the meds until they work out which one is best for you.
Now let me tell you what to expect when you go to the shrink, on second thought, let me tell you what not to expect...LOL
Generally when ppl go to a shrink the go in and sit down and the shrink begins asking questions, to which they reply while he takes notes and before you know it your hour is up and your on your way out the door feeling like that was a total waste of time. He gave you no prescription and no friendly advice on how to begin dealing with the problem. You sign out at the nurses station she will tell you when your expected to return, and you will probably have a repeat of the first session, Q&A for an hour and off you go, feeling like this whole experience is a waste of time and money but please, if I can offer you no other advice, please stay with the interviews.
The problem is that back in 1954 when they first published DSM-1 (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) there was no recognized Bi-Polar condition. In those days they only recognized Manic-Depresson 1, Manic-Depression 2 & Battle Fatigue and that was repeated in the DSM-2 in the 60's and those conditions went untreated unless the individual had suffered a severe Manic State involving hulicinations or a severe Depressive state involving a suicide attempt and the treatment was a minimum two week stay for clinical observation followed by a prescription for litium...(not something I care to take again, TY).
The DSM-3 was published in 1979 and in addition to the 3 conditions mentioned about, it also included a lesser condition called Bi-polar.
To the best of my knowledge they are currently using the DSM-5, which was published by the AMA in 1994 and in addition to the illnesses listed above, the DSM-4 lists over 40 different types of Bi-polar conditions. In fact, Bi-polar is the most commonly diagnosed form of mental illness today, and all the shrinks are saying they are just seeing the tip of the iceburg here. According to the AMA over 65% of the general population suffers from some form of a Bi-polar condition but most go totally through life undiagnosed.
Now as you can see, most of the bi-polar conditions were not even listed as an illness until 1994 so as you might expect, the pharmaceutical industry is just now getting a handle on what to make. From my experience there are about 6 or 8 meds in common use for Bi-polar conditions and although they all seem to treat the condition fine, they each have their own set of side effects. I have had some that make me literally feel like I am drunk 24/7, others hit me as a downer, making me want to sleep all day, one caused me severe indigestion. The problem here is that it takes about 6 to 10 days for the med to build up enough in your system to stabilize the bi-polar condition, but in many cases the side effects will show up in day or two. What I can tell you here is if you are given a med that has a severe side effect, do not wait for you next doctors visit. Call his office immediately and he/she will put you on something else.
I can tell you this. Once they determine which med is the magic bullet for your case, you will love it. You get up in the morning and take one tiny pill, which will have about the same side effect as if you swallowed an M&M.
, but I must also give you a caution about the meds.
Far too often we who have the condition will faithfully take our meds for a few months, then out of pure stupidity we get to thinking we don't need it any more.
Remember my previous post where I said I had a replapse from October until January? Well, you guessed it, I went off my meds like a fool.
what he is most worried about is not stigma...it's losing his creativity on meds. He's a writer, a producer, director, editor of short films. He lives and breaths it. Loves it. He would be a shell if he lost that. I honestly think I would rather have him shut down a couple times a year, than lose what makes him...him.
I am no stranger to dealing with mental illness...if you don't know what schizoaffective disorder is, it's kind of like a combination of bipolar and schizoprhenia. Scary stuff I tell ya! Especially when you don't know what's going on! I was there for my ex for ten years...TEN YEARS of supporting him, being strong for my kids who were just 12 and 10 at the time, of making phone calls, appointments, cajoling, pleading, crying, and trying to claw my way out of my own pit of depression. He had been my rock, and my rock turned to quicksand and tried to drown me. No, I won't do that again. What I'm dealing with now is not the same. It HAS drug up some of those same emotions I had, but HE is not dealing with schizoaffective disorder. His shut down lasts less than a week....so far, and we WILL be getting help. WE will be getting help.
LP..my ex would have relapses EVERY STINKING autumn...I HATED the days getting shorter...even on his meds he would have them...because he wasn't on the RIGHT meds.
It was so heartbreaking to live with, knowing he was fighting demons he thought were so very real. He is living in a hell most people could never even imagine. It was a world I had to leave. Sad, so so so so sad.
No, I'm no stranger to the world of mental illness...and that's exactly what it is. An illness. No different from cancer or heart disease or multiple sclerosis. Thing is, the one who's ill often thinks it's everyone else who has the problem. My sweety acknowledges he has a problem. And I acknowledge I have a problem too.
WOW Jean,, I wish to extend to you a million appologies because there is another topic in this discussion that I meant to cover before but somehow I got side tracked.
The research statistics have born out that the Bi-polar condition is extremely prevalent amongst artistic ppl. In fact, Although Bi-polar was not even officially recognized until the published the DSM-4 in 1994, in the art world they have commonly used a phrase for centuries that describes an artist in the depressive state.Have you ever heard an old masters work as being from his "blue period"? On teh other hand, how many master artists have died early by their own hand, suicide is another common problem for ppl with an advanced Bi-polar condition.
You can take my word for it,,,when your on the Meds you can still have fun talking to a frog...LOL..You just have to kiss the loud abusive outbursts and thoughts of suicide goodbye...
I haven't read all the posts but I did start to read lazypup's post...as far as I can tell I don't see any mention of "vows". I saw that she's met this guy on line a year ago but not a thing about a marriage. I saw that she has divorced someone that she was married to that was pretty much the same as the new guy and divorced him becausae of his actions. I don't see anything wrong with getting out while the getting's good before you waste too much time trying to change someone with a supposed mental illness!
The good thing about having a medical disorder is that there is often a medical solution to address it.
I've known only a few people who told me they had been diagnosed as bi-polar. In those cases it was a familial trait, inherited from the maternal side. Does anyone here know if that is typical?
Since moving back to ND which along with Mt, Minn etc are considered norther tier states I have met many people who are bi-polor or similar illnesses. I too had similar symptoms until the Dr. checked my Vit. D. level. And it was way down. I AM NOT saying this is a cure, or anything like it, but between getting it leveled out, and taking B-complex etc I do feel much better in the fall and spring. But that is me and just a suggestion to have your vit D level checked. I never had anything like that in CA, maybe the weather plays into it also. We seem to feel the pressure more here, and don't know why. Just my thoughts.
Chisue, I don't know if it's true about the maternal side but show me a person who is bipolar and I will find a family member in their past who also had "issues".
Unfortunately a lot of Bipolar traits (and other mental health conditions) are overlooked as quirks or just people making bad choices. Things like serial marriage or relationships,alcoholism,drug use,obsessiveness, "artistic temperament" etc.
There is still a trend to blame nurture or background for certain criminal behaviors. An example would be be something like "he takes drugs because his father drank and beat him". No one takes the next step of considering the possibilty he takes drugs to self medicate and his father drank and beat him because father was mentally ill also.
It's much more comfortable for people to look at things as good or evil or appropriate or inappropriate. Looking deeper and beyond is uncomfortable and scary for most.
No one wants to look too closely at dysfunctional generations of families. It is easier to blame culture and nurture rather than nature. The idea of so many mentally ill is too frightening for the general population. But until mental illness is de-stigmatized nothing will change.
I also saw no mention of marriage. In my eyes, that makes the situation somewhat easier. I understand your reasons for wanting to be with this man, he sounds interesting and exciting. I don't know what I would do in your situation. It's very easy to say "RUN" without factoring in so many variables. Nobody actually knows a situation except the two people in that situation, and sometimes not even then! Couples counseling sounds like a great idea and may be a springboard to more individualized therapy. I hope it helps, but if a year or two go by and the situation becomes worse (which I do think may happen), cut your losses and then RUN.
No. We aren't married. And, I didn't meet him just a year ago. I moved here a little over a year ago. And, like I said, he's nothing like my ex, it's that my emotional triggers are being hit, and whether it's his fault, or my fault or everyone's fault or no ones fault, the fact is we were both suffering and we need to find a way to fix that. He is VERY open to that. The day I originally posted, I was feeling overwhelmed with "what if's" Since then, we have had deep deep discussions. To those who say RUN, I'm wondering if you ever get your feelings hurt, and if you run every time that happens? Hopefully, I'm mature enough to know better. If he hadn't been willing to get counseling, if he continuously blamed everything on me, if the mood lasted for more than a week, I don't know if I'd be able to handle that, but that's not the case.....we are getting help

Fresh: This movie will shake your windows and rattle your walls. At least it will for a couple of hours, before 40-odd minutes of draggy, comic-book exposition smother the wild, subversive superhero business that came before.

I had never read the graphic novel till about a year and half ago. I had really missed out on something awesome. Now for the movie it was not disappointing in any way to me. The changes being only a one time reader of the graphic novel I didnt notice too much. There were many parts though from the novel that jumped right out at me and that was impressive. I thought as a whole it was a very well done and solid movie. Darker than most superhero flicks, as the comic was darker and changed the way comics were forever.

a marvelous spectacle of a film that was a complete joy to watch but was not without its downsides. although i love comics, i actually watched this without having read the source material, which helped in some ways but probably hurted as well. on the upside most of the cast was chosen perfectly and performed with brilliance. the effects were as good as expected and snyder did a great job directing the parts of the story that we were given. the world created for the film was impressive, sending me into an escapist mentality at the outset of the film. on the downside, despite most actors bringing a lot to the table, i felt that the entire representation of adrian played by matthew goode fell incredibly flat. goode's performance was lacking, i felt that he was a bit miscast and lacked believability, and his character was incredibly underdeveloped in the film. this was disappointing because of the major role that his character plays. essentially, we end up with a villian that seems inconsequential. also, aside from dr. manhatten, i dont think the characters were fleshed out all that well, despite the long running time of nearly 3 hours. because this was my introduction to these characters, i floated through the film unsure of anyones true motivations or connections to anything that any of them did. rorshach was great, but the other characters seemed to just exist in a series of events sort of stacked one on top of the other without really drawing me into the story as a whole. and finally, after the first two hours were incredibly impressive in the way the film was unfolding, i felt like the final 40 minutes went 80's cheeseball very quickly and never recovered. overall a very good film that i recommend, but one that thrives more on spectacle than story.

Zach Synder's "Watchman" is undoubtedly a unique, dark, emotional and powerful experience. It may be grounded in science-fiction and the main characters are superheroes, but the emotions cannot be more human. Visually dazzling images and cinematography, nihilism and existentialism abound make for a mentally engaging experience.

Man Tased Twice After Shoplifting Complaint
On Tuesday afternoon, Waite Park Police were called to a store for a shoplifting complaint.
According to the police report, loss prevention officers told officers the suspect fled from the store. A Stearns County Deputy saw the suspect, 25-year-old Shawn Thomas Lees of Sauk Rapids, near the Sauk River and attempted to apprehend him.
According to police, when a Waite Park officer arrived on the scene, the officer saw Lees fighting with the Deputy and tased Lees. As the Deputy and Officer attempted to remove Lees from the river he started assaulting the Waite Park officer. The Officer tased Lees again and Lees was taken to the St. Cloud Hospital for medical treatment.
Lees will be charged with two counts of 4th degree assault and also had a warrant out of Waite Park for a Domestic Assault.

There is a special mania surrounding the Mardi Gras (French for Fat Tuesday) season of celebrations emanating from its epicenter in New Orleans and spreading across the globe. These celebrations which culminate on Fat Tuesday, the day before the traditional Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season, are bright, bawdy and maybe even a bit outrageous. In the days leading up to Fat Tuesday there are lots of parades, costume parties and loads of decorations – most with the purple, green and gold theme. There is much throwing of strands of beads and flashing of bare chests.
It is said that the traditional colors of Mardi Gras – Purple, Green and Gold were selected in 1872 based on a suggestion from a visiting Russian Grand Duke because the colors evoked the heraldry of royalty. Twenty years later the colors were affirmed with symbolic meaning that lasts to this day: Purple – Justice, Green – Faith, Gold – Power.
At Cravings Gourmet Popcorn we honor the season and the colors with our own Mardi Gras flavors which will be Plum (Purple) Lime (Green) and, Pineapple (Gold). Be sure to come in and sample the flavors of Mardi Gras individually or in combination. We think you'll like the sweet and tangy combination.
Get in early to because after Fat Tuesday (February 12th) we give up the flavors for Lent!
Cravings Gourmet Popcorn is located in Old Town Lansing, the hippest area of Lansing, Michigan. Cravings Gourmet Popcorn can be purchased online and shipped to anywhere nationwide.

When we set up BBH in 1982 we did so with some fundamental beliefs that have guided our company to this day. Most importantly, that outstanding strategic thinking linked to brilliant creative execution helps to create brand success. Our culture is one of difference: "When the world zigs, zag." We look for a different approach, a different point of view, a different way of engaging consumers and a different creative idea. We look at the conventions of our client's categories and try and find an answer that breaks those conventions giving them stand out, cut through and value for money. The marriage of strategy and creativity is as important and relevant in today's modern communications landscape as it ever has been, and we have transformed and evolved our business to ensure that we can deliver both strategically and creatively, not just in traditional broadcast channels, but also in newer digital platforms and channels. A privately owned, independent agency we have been able to continue to invest in the areas that we believe are crucially important to the future of our business. We have built up a solid data capability to underpin our strategic discipline, and we have invested heavily in digital and technology experts who work closely with our creative department to inspire and realise creative ideas in a digital and technology driven age. Despite all of these changes and innovations, the way we work is still shaped by our central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today.

2006 study tours of Switzerland and Sweden
Study Tour of Switzerland, June 1115, 2006
From June 11 to June 15, 2006 a delegation from Alberta, led by the Honourable Iris Evans, Minister of Health and Wellness, traveled to Switzerland on a study tour, at the invitation and expense of the Swiss government. The delegation was composed of:
- Honourable Iris Evans, Minister of Health and Wellness
- Alyssa Haunholter, Executive Assistant to Minister Evans
- Mark Kastner, Communications Director, Alberta Health and Wellness
- Neil Wilkinson, Board Chair, Capital Health
- Dr. Chris Eagle, Executive Vice-President and Chief Clinical Officer, Calgary Health Region
- Sheila McKay, President, College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA)
- Annette Trimbee, Assistant Deputy Minister, Strategic Directions Division, Alberta Health and Wellness
The delegation approached the study tour recognizing that Alberta shares some challenges with Switzerland in terms of health system management. Delegates anticipated that sharing experiences with their Swiss hosts would provide them with the opportunity to see how the Swiss are addressing some of those challenges, and to discover new and innovative approaches to the challenges we face here in Alberta.
Switzerlands health system, like Albertas, has at its foundation, a premise that all citizens should have access to basic services. Both jurisdictions are concerned about current spending levels and the rapid rate of growth in health system costs. Both jurisdictions would like to see more health promotion and illness/injury prevention activities occurring so that population health is improved, and preventable demand on the health system is reduced. Albertan and Swiss health officials are exploring ways to ensure appropriateness, in terms of funding and use of health services and products.
Switzerlands population is culturally and linguistically diverse. Health services use differs according to both culture, and geography. For example, the French speaking population are heavy users of the health system compared to the German speaking population. Urban dwellers tend to use the health system much more heavily than those living in disconnected rural valleys.
There are also notable differences between Alberta and Switzerland. Alberta is a province within a federal system, and Switzerland is also a federation. However, the organization and practice of government differs immensely between the two jurisdictions. Switzerlands population is more than double that of Alberta, but Alberta occupies 16 times more land than Switzerland. Government, demography and geography shape the health system and have an impact on the solutions considered appropriate.
Alberta and Switzerland do not have the same issues in terms of infrastructure, technology and workforce resources. Alberta faces waitlists and labour shortages; Switzerland is in quite a different situation.
Ultimately, the study tour was comprehensive, well planned and very productive. The Swiss hosts took great care of the Alberta delegation, and provided exposure to diverse perspectives. Delegates interacted with federal and cantonal politicians, officials, hospital administrators, clinicians, insurers and business representatives. Meetings covered key issues such as health system governance, accountability, financing, wellness, workforce, and pharmaceutical policy. The delegation also had the opportunity to tour the University Hospital Centre of Canton Vaud, in Lausanne.

Study Tour of Sweden, June 1621, 2006
From June 16 to June 21, 2006 Honourable Iris Evans, Minister of Health and Wellness, and her Executive Assistant, Alyssa Haunholter traveled to Sweden on a study tour.
The Minister went to Sweden to learn about the successes and challenges within the Swedish health care system. Minister Evans met with Swedish policy makers of all levels: government and health care officials; research institutes; and independent government agencies. By sharing Albertas experiences in health care with her Swedish colleagues, the Minister hoped to discover novel and innovative solutions to the challenges facing Albertas health care system.
Sweden ranks second behind Switzerland among OECD countries in the performance of its health system. Swedens extensive social welfare traditions have typically provided a supportive environment for an evolving and thriving system. While the Swedish health care system is 85 per cent publicly funded, health costs account for only 8.7 per cent of GDP, which means that Swedens total health expenditures are lower than Canadas on a per capita basis.
The political organization of the health care system in Sweden is similar to Albertas. Both have a central government that works with associated regional governments. The Swedish health system is governed at three levels. The central government in Sweden lays down basic principles for health services through laws, the most important of which is the Health and Medical Services Act of 1982. It requires that good quality health and medical services be provided on equal terms and be easily accessible to all. Under the Act, responsibility for health services rests primarily with the countrys twenty-one county councils which levy taxes and operate almost all the services provided. At the local level, two hundred and ninety municipal authorities are responsible for elderly care, disabled care, and support for long term mental illness.
Alberta and Sweden face some similar challenges within their health systems. Access problems are common to many health systems, especially those that try to provide universal health coverage while also trying to manage costs. The goals of the Swedish health care system continue to be equitable coverage for the whole population, access to new medical technologies, and provision of resources to those with chronic illness. These goals have contributed to increased demands on the system from the population, both current and potential patients.
Overall, the Ministers tour of Sweden was well organized, comprehensive, and very informative. They were greeted warmly by all of their Swedish hosts, and learned a great deal about many aspects of the Swedish health system.
