TV director Adam Bernstein has signed on to direct Focus Features' remake of the French thriller "With a Friend Like Harry."
Bernstein received an Emmy nomination this year for the first episode of FX's "Fargo." He has also won an Emmy for "30 Rock" and has helmed episodes of "Breaking Bad" and "Nurse Jackie."
Variety reported in July that Focus had acquired the remake rights and launched development.
Wentworth Miller is writing the screenplay. Producers are Maven Pictures' Celine Rattray and Trudie Styler with Michelle Krumm.
The story involves the titular Harry claiming to be a high school classmate of a less-than-happily married man and insinuating himself into his life. After Harry gives his new friend a taste of a life he's missed out on, things take a sinister turn.
The French film, released in 2000, starred Laurent Lucas, Mathilde Seigner and Sergi Lopez. Director Dominik Moll and Lopez won Cesar awards. »

The Flash, Season 1, Episode 5, "Plastique"
Written by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing & Brooke Eikmeier
Directed by Dermott Downs
Airs Tuesdays at 8pm Et on the CW
Hot damn! I normally like to write about the events in the episode in the order they happened, but we have got to talk about that ending! Gorilla Grodd is coming! He was teased in the pilot, but in a brief flashback we saw that the gorilla (who is seemingly just a poor lab ape at that point) was at the center of the rift between Wells and General Eiling. Wells telling the sad primate that he has "a very different future planned" is an enticing tease for the most out-there concept of the show yet.
Now on to the meat of "Plastique", which starts with a supposed bomb going off in Central City and the sudden intrusion of the army, led by Eiling (Highlander »

Boardwalk Empire, Ep. 5.08: "Eldorado" leaves only the dust and ash of regret
That it seemed obvious for the series' finale to send Nucky out was a bit of a given, considering the telegraphed nature of the flashback conceit which had been building for the entirety of this season. There were glimpses of hope, and chances for atonement but the clock had already run out by the time Nucky took his final stroll down the boardwalk…. click here to read the article.
'Neverending Nightmares' is truly neverending
Based on designer Matt Gilgenbach's battle with obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, Neverending Nightmares is a psychological horror game that amplifies feelings of unease through repetition in a minimalist setting. Personally, this was the most difficult game for me to finish because of the content. There were several moments when I just had to stop and seriously question whether or not I could feasibly finish the game. »

This week's episode of The Flash (titled "Going Rogue") was arguably the best yet, with special effects and action sequences as good as any comic book movie. The series is doing an excellent job of fleshing out the supporting cast, and while the villains so far have all been pretty great, they all pale in comparison to Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold as he really stole the show on Tuesday. If you haven't watched the episode yet, do so immediately, but here we have the awesome final scene from the latest instalment of The CW series. If you read The Flash comic books, you'll know that "Mick" is in fact Mick Rory, the villain better known as Heat Wave! We've seen set photos of him and Captain Cold taking on The Flash in episode 9, but this is a very cool moment as we see the start of the team we »

In last night's episode of The Flash, titled "Going Rogue," we finally get to see one of the "big bads" of the Flash mythos — Captain Cold (a.k.a. Leonard Snart), played very well by Wentworth Miller. Miller displayed the cool-under-pressure sinisterness of Captain Cold that fans of the villain's appearance in comics and in animated versions should appreciate. The episode title is also likely a sly reference to The Rogues, a group of villains in the comics headed by Captain Cold who regularly tried to stop The Flash. The end of this episode also saw Captain Cold trying to recruit … Continue reading →

Wentworth Miller made his debut as Captain Cold in The Flash last night, and the reviews from fans and critics alike have been overwhelmingly positive. In a recent interview with IGN, the actor revealed that he wasn't familiar with the character when The CW first offered him the role, and while he did do some research, Miller didn't want to be beholden to the comics. "When I was cast, I went online and googled a few images and some of them I responded to and some of them I did not and I thought, "Let me take my cue from what the writers have planned." Because I got the sense early on that there was a willingness to respect what's come before but also an interest in reinventing and giving things a fresh spin. So I thought let me take the character from the pages of the script specifically, »

Jessie Robertson reviews the fourth episode of The Flash…
With the introduction of Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) this week, it finally feels like the show is about to start, as if our other "villains of the week" was still just a precursor to showing what the show was going to be. All the character traits he's known for and everything you need to know about him you get in the frame of this show; he's smart, calculating, lives by a code and is merciless when after what he wants. The dialogue is delivered in a slow monotone inflection and begs of respect. It's finally a villain we can sink our teeth into, so it was no surprise he did not get locked up in Wells' super-prison.
There was also a nice twist to the Cold story; his weapon came from Star Labs, even made by Barry's ping-pong partner, »

The Flash welcomes a pal from Arrow in this week's episode. Here's Caroline's review of Going Rogue...
This review contains spoilers.
1.4 Going Rogue
When Barry Allen was first introduced on Arrow and it was revealed the character would be spun-off into his own series, one of the first questions on everyone's lips was whether Felicity would be crossing over from time to time. Maybe it shouldn't have been, but such is the popularity of that character. This episode, Going Rogue, was the moment in which that wish came to fruition, a full three hours into the new series.
It was a good episode to get still-unconverted Arrow fans on board for The Flash, and it was also a nice, tidy way for the writers to wrap up the unfinished Barry/Felicity relationship. Above everything, though, it was just so darn nice having her there, and she fit into »

One of the most anticipated episodes of CW's The Flash has been the arrival of Prison Break's Wentworth Miller as Leonard Snart a.k.a. Captain Cold, one of the most popular Rogues in the comic books. I have been a huge fan of Miller ever since his portrayal of Michael Scofield that wasn't just one of the most brilliant written characters on Prison Break, but on television period, so it was splendid news when they announced that he had been cast as Captain Cold. His arrival to the show lived up to my expectations and then some as his interpretation of Snart was flawless. His screentime was perfect, it wasn't too long or too short and every scene he had progressed the story forward. We get some backstory on him, including a mention of a certain sister that could be a future Rogue on the »

The Flash, Season 1, Episode 4, "Going Rogue"
Written by Geoff Johns & Kai Yu Wu
Directed by Glen Winter
Airs Wednesday at 8pm Et on The CW
Taking into account a DVR playback The Flash series pilot has risen to 6.8 million viewers and counting since it first premiered. That's The CW's most-watched telecast in the network's history. If you count all platforms, the tally rises to 13 million viewers. If anything, "Going Rogue" will only help boost these numbers. With a script that never forgets its heroes' humanity, and an episode that features two superpowered set pieces, "Going Rogue" lives up to its hype — and raises the bar for the DC canon. Not only does this episode introduce Wentworth Miller but the special guest star turned in a great performance as one of the Flash's best-known enemies, the famous Captain Cold. And if that isn't enough to tune in, »

A review of tonight's "The Flash" coming up just as soon as I'm overdressed for trivia night... "Going Rogue" did certain things spectacularly well — and, no, I am not just talking about Felicity's dress — and frustrated at others, particularly in the way it clung to the formula of the Berlanti super-verse (and of superhero comics in general). First, the good, starting with how Wentworth Miller made an excellent Captain Cold. The episode didn't do a great job of showing his transition from violence-averse master thief to casually homicidal supervillain, but Miller was charismatic, he made most of the corny lines about keeping things cool and avoiding heat sound a bit less corny, and he came across as every bit the recurring headache that Cold ought to be to the Flash. Second to the good: this one looked great. As I hoped after seeing the pilot, the VFX team is only »

This week on The CW's The Flash, a warm visit from Felicity could barely offset the cold reception Barry got from a new nemesis.
This episode, as the headline suggests, was cool for three reasons.
Felicity crossed over from Arrow to check in on her lightning-struck, once-comatose friend Barry, sure, but also to obviously see if their "spark" was still there, or if it ever was. This made all the sense in the world given the "break-up" Felicity and Oliver went through in the other show's season opener, that she would test the waters to see »

The Flash may be too hot to handle, but Wentworth Miller's addition to the show is too cold to hold. The special guest star turned in a great performance as the episode's villain, and without giving too much away, I think it's safe to say that we'll be seeing him again in the future. Things continue to heat up for the title speedster outside of his life as a crimefighter when a familiar face shows up and offers a possible chance at romance. Will there be sparks? Or will one of them get the cold shoulder? Hit the jump for The Flash recap to find out. Barry gets a fun intro in this week's episode as he multitasks between playing ping pong with Cisco, chess with Dr. Wells, and Operation with Caitlin. (He wins 2 of 3).

Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) makes his debut Tuesday night on the CW's "The Flash" and the iconic DC super-villain — at first known as Leonard Snart — promises to be every bit the thorn in Barry Allen's (Grant Gustin) side as comic fans might imagine. "It's not fun for Barry," Gustin told TheWrap and other press on-set in Vancouver. "Like, it's fun for Snart and that's the whole thing that's driving him. It's like 'oh, what's this new challenge?' It's kind of re-energizing trying to take his game to the next level." See photos: The CW Diversity Scorecard: From 'Arrow' to 'Vampire. »

Things will get a little chilly during the Oct. 28 episode of "The Flash," titled "Going Rogue," which introduces one of the Scarlet Speedster's most iconic and enduring villains: Captain Cold.
Cold, aka Leonard Snart, is played by "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller, making his return to the small screen after a sojourn spent writing screenplays, including 2013's gothic thriller "Stoker" and the upcoming "Disappointments Room."
Speaking to Variety via email about what drew him back to television, Miller admitted, "I'd never heard of Captain Cold. But I'd heard of Greg Berlanti. I have a great deal of respect for what Greg's accomplished, and I was interested in working with him in some capacity, as an actor or writer or both. So when the offer came in, I was open to coming on board even before I'd read the script. The fact that it was a »

Better grab a jacket, because tonight, The Flash is getting cold. Prison Break hottie Wentworth Miller makes his grand debut as the iconic DC villain Captain Cold—aka Leonard Snart—during tonight's episode of the CW's hit superhero show, and we can't stop brainstorming all the cold puns in honor of his brrrrrr-illiant new role!

from Sean Fitz-Gerald of the National Post,
Be honest: Who really got under your skin?
DVM: Claude Lemieux. [laughs] We just couldn't get along on the ice. I gave him two 10-minute misconducts in one game, which I had never done to any player.
Did the emergence of video replay ever make you second-guess yourself?
DVM: No. Most our guys, I think, would tell you it's been an asset to get the call right. We just knew it was there to be used to help us. You just have to react to what happens, and if the review shows it was different later, it's not because you intended to be wrong. Mistakes happen.

Morning Line- Terry Jones On Gordie Howe

I tell people when I was selected winner of the Elmer Ferguson Award to make it into the writers wing of the Hockey Hall of Fame, that Gordie Howe came to the luncheon to hear me make my speech.
He was there all right. But that was the year Mark was inducted into the Hall of Fame. And Gordie was there to honour Mickey Redmond, the former Red Wing who was the inductee as winner of the Foster Hewitt Award as broadcaster and was the other guy making his speech at the luncheon.
At the hotel Gordie talked with my son and would walk up to my wife, who had found herself briefly standing alone again, and start up a conversation.
Wayne Gretzky always maintained Gordie Howe was the greatest player in the history of hockey. He may have been the greatest guy.
Before he goes, we all should let him know.

In an interview following MGM Resorts third-quarter earnings conference call, company CFO Dan D'Arrigo said preliminary discussions had taken place with a group interested in housing an NHL team at the MGM-AEG arena, which will have 20,000 seats, along with luxury boxes and other amenities.
D'Arrigo didn't go into details on the talks and whether the group was looking to move an existing NHL team to Las Vegas or seeking an expansion franchise.
"We would be supportive of an NHL team coming to our arena," D'Arrigo said. "We're highly interested and we have been in discussions with a group."
National media outlets have reported in recent months that an NHL team would land at the new arena, which began construction earlier this year and is expected to open in 2016. The NHL has denied the reports, the most recent of which came last week in the New York Post.

Rest Is Best
by Paul on 10/30/14 at 10:41 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Travis Yost of TSN,
The National Hockey League's scheduling process strikes me as a laborious task. The people responsible for creating the thirty team schedules have to take into account things like venue availability, travel burden, associated costs of travel, and competitive balance, all while trying to squeeze 2,460 games into a seven-month window.
One of the things I've always found most interesting is how the league attempts to mitigate the number of back-to-back situations (not so eloquently referred to as "schedule losses" in NHL and NBA circles), a considerable slice of the league's larger fight with competitive balance. To the league's credit, Dirk Hoag's work suggests that the league does try to schedule a comparable number of back-to-back situations for every franchise.
Now, the eyeball test has long been damning of team performance on the second-half of back-to-backs, and I think that's largely why the league has really made a concerted effort to balance the number of schedule losses around the league. The data substantiates what the eyeball test has told us for so long – teams on no rest struggle considerably relative to league norms, considerably so when those back-to-backs come on the road.
Seven years of available data substantiates what the eyeball test has told us for so long – teams on no rest struggle considerably relative to league norms.

Get The Call Right
by Paul on 10/30/14 at 09:06 AM ET
Comments (6)
from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News,
The phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back" is tossed around too often, but when it comes to expanded video review in the NHL, the goalie interference call assessed to Detroit's Luke Glendening Wednesday night certainly qualifies. Thankfully, the spectacular botch job didn't decide the game's outcome, but the fact a call this bad could be agreed on between two referees should be deeply disconcerting to league officials and every team in the league....
And imagine what would happen if a similarly awful penalty/rescinded goal materialized in the final game of the regular season and the result of that game meant the difference between a team making or missing the playoffs. Imagine if a call like that went down during the playoffs – say, in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final – and there were no option for the officials to skate over to the penalty box area, check a video monitor for a few brief minutes and make sure they got the call right. Fans and media of the team on the wrong end of such a predicament would go apoplectic, and rightfully so; any league unwilling to utilize technology readily available to assure the integrity of its game is a league painfully out of touch with what fans demand in return for their investments of time, money and emotion.
If it ever got to that point, the NHL would need to hold an IPO to raise its stock to laughing status.

John Moore Should Have Received A Few More Games
by Paul on 10/30/14 at 07:28 AM ET
Comments (2)
from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
Given Moore's history, the five-game sentence is probably light by a few games. But a sentence of six games or more would qualify for an appeal to an independent arbiter. And a reduction of the suspension — which would surely be possible, if not likely, given precedent — would not exactly prove a ringing endorsement of Quintal in his first ruling after being named this summer as Brendan Shanahan's successor as VP of the Department of Player Safety.
The NHL now has dealt with Moore twice in the last five months. That's the stuff of Chris Simon and the some of the most notorious miscreants in NHL history. That's the stuff of Chris (Mr. Justice) Pronger, who was suspended twice for a pair of headshots delivered within a five-game span of the 2007 playoffs.
Moore's inexcusable lack of discipline is costing him and the Rangers, and what else is new? The 23-year-old has been among the team's most disappointing players thus far. A tease with obvious talent who cannot seem to connect the dots from his skates to his hands to his heart to his head.

The entire hockey community is rallying around this. You can't find a more revered individual, he and Jean Beliveau are the gold standard for gentlemen off the ice and well, Gordie on the ice not so much a gentleman. Jean Beliveau probably was but just in terms of the way they carried themselves away from the game, everybody in the hockey community has thoughts for Gordie Howe right now.

Howe Family Trying To Be Supportive Of Gordie Howe

from Stephen Whyno of the CP,
Gordie Howe has a long way to go to recover from a stroke he suffered over the weekend, his son said Wednesday amid an outpouring of support from the hockey community....
"It's a difficult time for Dad," Mark Howe said in a phone interview from Lubbock. "It definitely impacted his life, so we're dealing with this, I think, as all families do and just trying to be there. The best thing we can do is just be here and be supportive and try to keep him in good spirits."...
Howe said his father would require "a lot of work in order to be able to recover." For now, the family is just enjoying spending time with him.
"It's a beautiful, sunny day," he said. "If dad hadn't been through this, he'd probably be outside going for a little walk or something."

The 50% Win Rate
by Paul on 10/29/14 at 12:50 PM ET
Comments (5)
from Bruce McCurdy of the Cult of Hockey,
Long gone are the days that a .500 record meant a competitive team. That benchmark went the way of the dodo bird when the NHL in its infinite wisdom introduced the concept of a third point for some — but not all — games, back in 1999. After the lockout scrubbed the entire 2004-05 season, the further step was taken of initiating a shootout to ensure that a third point was awarded in every tied game. "No more ties!" promised Gary Bettman, while introducing a subversive system that rewarded 60-minute ties disproportionately more than wins. Critics of the league — and I am one of them — derisively refer to the league's new accounting system as "Bettman math", where 2 + 0 = 2, but 1 + 1 = 3.
NHL coaches are no dummies — well, most of them aren't — so not surprisingly, the number of regulation ties proceeded to skyrocket. In the 9 full seasons (well, eight & 48/82 full seasons) from 2005-14, no fewer than 23.5% of all games wound up deadlocked through 60, in effect creating a third point that was not awarded in the 76.5% of games that were cleanly won. "Let;s make sure of the one point, and go after the second one in overtime" became a coaching maxim that all too often one could see being employed by both teams when the score was tied in regulation.

very useful collection of information on the X Pro 1
You have probably read about it. You may have a friend who bought one. You may have noticed it on the streets. You have most certainly seen one in a camera store window. The Fujifilm X-T1 is currently one of the most popular mirrorless cameras, and is the model that is persuading many people to leave their DSLRs, be they enthusiast or professional photographers. For the past six months, I have been using it in various situations to discover exactly why people have fallen head over heels for Fujifilm's high-end model. I began using the X-T1 during a trip in April to Cinque Terre, Italy. The first aspects you notice about the design are its manual control dials inherited from SLR film cameras. (The X-T1 itself was inspired by the Fujica.) If you are familiar with film cameras, you most certainly already know this type of layout. If, like me, you mostly shoot digital, it is something you can learn to appreciate.....

Contributor: C. Peter ChenBelgian weapons designers Léon and Emile Nagant developed these revolvers in 1886 and sold them to Sweden, Norway, Poland, France, Greece, and Russia, among other countries. Of this list of countries, the Russian Army's use, under the designation of Nagant M1895, was the most famous in terms of WW2 historical importance. The Russians, who already had happily adopted the Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifles several years earlier, welcomed these new revolvers as the new standard side arms of army and police officers. Production of Nagant M1895 revolvers began in Liège, Belgium in 1895, but by 1898 it moved to Russia to suit the high demand, where they were made until 1945(at Tula arsenal from 1899 to 1945; at Izhevsk arsenal from 1943 to 1945). During WW2, they were often assigned to NKVD agents, who equipped them with sound suppression devices to carry out assassination missions. These weapons were generally favored, even becoming an object of honor when bestowed by high Communist Party officials, but field users of these revolvers often complained of the slow reload rate. About 2,000,000 Nagant M1895 revolvers were made, and the great abundance of these weapons meant they remained in use far after production ceased in 1945; for example, they were seen in service during the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Pros: The Spa and the great buffet choice
Cons: Better bar snacks and more staff on the bar
Location: No shops nearby and only a few bars. Great for walking along by the beach.
Great hotel once we got over the shock of being the only brits and having to get by with my limited Spanish. Food was great, although if not full board then limited bar snacks. Try the Minos Spa - it's amazing - treatments were outstanding and a great price too. In a pretty quiet area so not for those looking for night life. Lots of families.

One of the bestPosted Oct 31, 2012
Pros: Friendly staff, good food
Cons: None
Location: Close to airport
We only stayed one night but would have been happy staying much longer. The room was large, we took 4 large cases and hand luggage as we were leaving Spain for good, there was plenty of space to put the luggage and move around. The food was good, well prepared and as it is buffet, eat as much or as little as you want. I can put my hand on my heart and say this hotel is certainly worth the stay.

Good location, 10 mins walk from the beachPosted Aug 5, 2012 on Hotels.com
The hotel was clean and well maintained. The hotel reception staff spoke English and were helpful and efficient. The food however was a different matter. Served as a buffet style, it does not warrant the 4 stars, it was repetitive and very average. Also there was no water freely available at the Dinner sitting all drinks are charged for. The entertainment team also need to be made aware that not everyone wants to listen to blaring music around the pool. I asked them to turn the volume down, but they did not. On the whole we had a good stay but they do need to address the above issues which would really make the hotel great.

Lovely hotel, bad areaPosted Jun 25, 2012 on Hotels.com
Perfectly good hotel, unless you are a golfer or a beach goer, the location is not good. The inclusive breakfast was very substantial. I am more than happy with the restaurant, as far as breakfast is concerned, but I cannot comment on lunch or dinner as we didn't partake in either meal.

Could do better.Posted Jun 4, 2012 on Hotels.com
Would have loved some warm food but it seems it was not to be so that is really the reason for lower marks. The food was quite expensive (15 Euro pp for breakfast) so I would have thought they could afford to heat the buffet instead of letting everything just sit and go cold. Next time we will eat out. Location is good for access to Almeria and amenities were good.

Excellent stayPosted Jun 4, 2012
This hotel is excellent, we only stayed one night, but the staff were very helpful, even though we only booked in around 11.30 pm. Breakfast was perfect, there was choice for every pallet. We would certainly use this hotel again.

One of the best rooms anyone could ask forPosted Apr 28, 2012 on Hotels.com
Food at the hotel needs improving. Breakfast was just warm and so was the evening meal although there were plenty of choice. If the food had been better it would be 5/5 for everything.

1 More MP Leaves Bulgarian 'Communist' Right-Wingers
One more MP from Bulgaria's right-wing parliamentary Blue Coalition has decided to leave the embattled Union of Democratic Forces (UDF) party.
Lawmaker Tsvetan Kostov has quit the party, since he believes it has now turned into a "communist-type" formation that is going after "enemies with party cards."
Last week the party's governing body controversially expelled 3 key UDF lawmakers for disobedience.
The party's MPs refused to back the nomination of former President Petar Stoyanov (1997-2001) for constitutional judge, saying they did not oppose Stoyanov personally, but the fact that the nomination was imposed by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and his centrist-right GERB party.
On Tuesday, Tsvetan Kostov told reporters that he would remain a member of the Blue Coalition (now existing only in Parliament), since he believes that was the will of the voters in the 2009 general election.

The Future of Fuel Diversity
The fragmented electric industry structure poses an obstacle to a more stable, diverse, and secure power supply.
Daily news...
Tax Corner
managing shareholders collectively receive at least 1 percent of each item of company "income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit during the entire existence" of the company. The IRS will, however, permit this 1 percent to fall to as low as 0.2 percent as total capital contributions to the company increase from $50 to $250 million. The IRS will also allow temporary departures from the rule in some situations.
These shareholders, as a group, must have a "capital account balance" at all times of at least 1 percent of "total positive capital account balance" or $500,000, whichever is less. The operating agreement must require them to contribute additional capital at the same time as other shareholders to maintain this minimum balance. But managing shareholders need not maintain any particular capital account balance if at least one managing shareholder is contributing "substantial services" to the company for free. However, in such a case, the operating agreement "must expressly provide" that they, as a group, will pay in more capital "upon the dissolution and termination" of the company to cover any deficits in their capital accounts. The managing shareholders may be able to get away with less than a full deficit makeup; they may contribute as a group an amount equal to 1.01 percent of total capital put in by the other shareholders (with credit for any capital they contributed previously).

Gulf Shrimpers to Blame for Record-High Sea Turtle Deaths
Sea turtles have had a rough year. In 2010, more than 600 sea turtles were found either dead or injured on Gulf of Mexico shores, and 563 have already washed up just halfway into 2011.
This sudden spike in sea turtle mortality is due in part to the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf in April, but Oceana has recently discovered that someone else may be to blame: the Gulf shrimp fishery.
Oceana recently found that the fishery is not currently required to use Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs), which spare most sea turtles from getting caught and drowning in their skimmer trawls used for catching shrimp. This lack of proper regulation, coupled with the fishery's noncompliance or ignorance of TED requirements for other types of trawls, has led to the enormous number of recent sea turtle deaths.
What you might not know is that under the Endangered Species Act, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) authorizes fisheries to injure or kill a specific number of sea turtles. More than 98 percent of all sea turtle interactions authorized to U.S. fisheries are given to the shrimp fishery.

I have been on an emotional roller coaster lately. I was feeling really anxious and depressed, so my psychiatrist upped my meds. I then felt worse. Crying every day. Crying for no reason. My parents came over one day while I was crying, and my daughter told them, "She's been crying a lot lately." I don't want my...
Writing Heals My Brain
September 17, 2014
I've turned to writing during many times of bipolar depression. I know that many of you are writers too. We write in blogs and in our journals. We email, take notes for classes, and once in a while, we even handwrite letters the old-fashioned way! So many forms of writing exist, and they can all serve us well in terms of catharsis...
A Garden Full of Flowers
September 17, 2014
What is the one thing that you love? What is the one thing that you hate? 'Thing' has so many definitions and in a broad sense covers the spectrum of anything and everything – no matter how minute, 'it' holds great significance. There are positives and negatives everywhere, but incorporating both is what makes for a wonderful life.There is a yin...
Bipolar Worries
September 16, 2014
At my last appointment with my psychiatrist, she told me I have too much anxiety about having bipolar disorder. No kidding? I mean what's there to be anxious about? Being stuck in complete darkness with unspeakable pain that only those who have depression can understand? Or, flying so high you think you're invincible, have no rational thoughts in...
I Didn't Know I Had a Mental Illness for 31 Years
September 16, 2014
I have had episodes of depression throughout my life and once I was so happy after taking an antidepressant that I danced around my bedroom. I didn't realize I had a mental illness until I was 45 years old, and I didn't know I had bipolar disorder until I was 59. You would have thought that, at a younger age, I would have figured out...

This month I want to talk to you about something that you've probably heard a lot about. It's about hope. When I was dealing with my undiagnosed bipolar disorder, I constantly felt hopeless. I would lose my temper, promise to do better afterwards, and then feel awful when I got angry again. It felt like a never ending cycle.It didn't help that I...

This post is written from a Christian perpective. I sat there in a beautiful room awaiting the marriage of my cousin's son and I looked up at the chandelier overhead. It was exquisite in its design and purity. It even had star shapes formed in the middle of its crowning glory. I was captivated by its beauty, then I looked into the...
Finding Work That Works When You Have Bipolar Disorder
September 4, 2014
I'm a psychotherapist who has worked as a vocational rehabilitation counselor - that's a specialist who helps people with disabilities, including bipolar disorder, find and keep meaningful work. I also have bipolar disorder myself, and have struggled over the years to find work that meets my own "special needs." The research clearly shows...
What Would I Say to Me?
September 4, 2014
What would I say to the younger me about being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety Disorder? This picture was taken 13 years ago. I was 28 and oh so manic, but had no idea. This was pre-diagnosis. I traveled to two continents, several states, and multiple concerts on this particular U2 tour...something I had ...
Advice for the Newly Diagnosed
September 3, 2014
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type II disorder on January 28, 2014 and I want to write my first blog post in this space about some of the things I wish I had known then. Here is what I wish someone would have sat down and told me on that Tuesday morning: It will get better. Your meds will become finer tuned and you will learn how to...
