"Perfect location for a visit to Barcelona. Full of small nice restots in the round. A few minutes of interesting places. The dish was a bit limit for six people. Mattresses and bedding also."
"Situation idéale pour une visite de Barcelone. Pleins de petits restots sympa au tour. A queluqes minutes des lieux interessant. La vaisselle était un peu limite pour six personnes. Les matelas et literie également."
"Karen was very helpful and accommodating. Location was convenient and safe. Good size for 4. Advertised with washer and dryer, but there was no dryer; 1/2 bath was located off outside terrace, so was cold and inconvenient to access."
"the area is quiet enough. Not too close to the Center, however, easily accessible, and very close to the Sagrada Familia. The apartment is located in a beautiful historic building, well kept, and very quiet. At home we also found some daily cleaning products (detergents) and some stocks of oil, salt, sugar, etc. In general however, for short, is a nicely furnished comfortable. In general no. Just a note to the kitchen window, which would need some maintenance, and bath, where when you slide the water from the water, it has a small water leak at the base. A room, having been carved from the living room, one has a window that looks out on the same, but for ventilation is sufficient to open the door window of the terrace. The bathroom has a window that opens out onto the corridor."
"la zona è abbastanza tranquilla. Non eccessivamente vicina al centro, comunque facilmente raggiungibile, e vicinissimo alla Sagrada Familia. L'appartamento si trova in un bel palazzo d'epoca, ben tenuto, e molto silenzioso. In casa abbiamo trovato anche alcuni prodotti per la pulizia quotidiana (detersivi) e alcune scorte di olio, sale, zucchero, ecc. In genrale comunque, per brevi soggiorni, è un bell'appartamento comodo. In generale no. Solo un appunto per la finestra della cucina, che avrebbe bisogno di qualche manutenzione, e del bagno, dove quando si fa scorrere l'acqua dal water, si ha una piccola fuoriuscita di acqua alla base. Una camera, essendo stata ricavata dal soggiorno, una ha una la finestra che si affaccia sullo stesso, ma per l'aerazione è sufficiente aprire la porta finestra del terrazzo. Anche il bagno ha la finestra che si apre sull'andito."
"The appartment was in a good part of the City as it was quiet but still walkable distance to lots of the sights. Would always stay again or advise friends to do the same."
"In a safe neighborhood, near three metro stops and within walking distance to stores, cafes and La Sagrada Familia. A 6 euro cab ride from the Born and Gothic areas. Manager Karen was extremely helpful at all times."
"Nice apartment with central location between the Rambla and Sagrade Familia. Is about 500 metres from the train and metro. Everything was more than enough. We were with 5 people and that went fine! But it's a 7 person apartment and then it's actually too small. This is because the sofa bed in the living room and then you there. Outside of word it will be very tight with 7 people. The bedroom with bunk bed adjacent to the living room and the outdoor terrace so for a family with small children might have a point to think about. Furthermore, really no min points"
"Mooi en net appartement met centrale ligging tussen de Rambla en Sagrade Familia. Ligt op ongeveer 500 meter van trein en metro. Alles was ruim voldoende aanwezig. Wij waren met 5 personen en dat ging prima! Maar het is een 7 persoons appartement en dan is het eigenlijk te klein. Dit omdat de slaapbank dan in de woonkamer staat en je daar gebruik van moet maken. Buiten word het wel heel krap met 7 personen. De slaap kamer met stapelbed grenst aan de woonkamer en het buitenterras dus voor een gezin met kleine kinderen misschien een punt om over na te denken. Verder echt GEEN min punten"
"The kitchen was well in order, within the meaning of that the detergent, sponge, olive oil, salt/pepper, tea, coffee, Toaster, microwave, oven etc. This I found a big plus. The owner of the apartment was very nice."
"De keuken was goed in orde, in de zin van dat het wasmiddel had, spons, olijfolie, zout/peper, thee, koffie, broodrooster, magnetron, oven etc. Dit vond ik een groot pluspunt. De eigenaar van het appartement was erg aardig."
Stefanie rated his/her apartment stay, but didn't leave any extra comments…
"Clean, spacious outdoor area stuffy room with bars,"
"Schoon, ruim Buitenruimte benauwd met tralies, gehorig"
"Location and facilities"
"Lage und Ausstattung"
"The location was great, everything was to run and you're not in that noise from the Rambla. We even had luck with the check-out, the following guests came only a day later so we could just leave the luggage (we left only late at night)"
"De locatie was super, alles was te lopen en je zit niet in de herrie van de Rambla. We hadden zelfs geluk met het uitchecken, de volgende gasten kwamen pas een dag later waardoor we de bagage nog even konden laten staan ( we vertrokken pas 's avonds laat)"
"The apartment was remarkably well cleaned and neatly decorated. It was quite low and the upstairs neighbours were noisy."
"Het appartement was opvallend goed schoongemaakt en netjes ingericht. Het was vrij laag en de bovenburen waren gehorig."

MJ Delaney came to our attention as the precocious directing talent behind a parody of Alicia Key's New York State of Mind – the young filmmaker (25) scored
over 2 million hits for a pop-up YouTube video version titled Newport State of Mind, celebrating the Welsh town that's so often overlooked by the
R & B scene.
Directing commercials and super-shorts, MJ joined Channel 4's "Coming Up" programme for aspiring film talent. And having secured support and producers'
backing in the shape of Damian Jones' DJ Films and Pinewood Films, Delaney collaborated with playwright Rachel Hirons on her debut feature film, Powder Room. Yesterday it was announced that the film will be distributed in the UK by Vertigo Films and worldwide rights have been bought by
Universal's home entertainment division.
In an article in the Guardian last year, MJ claimed to work with
an almost entirely female crew. Although it would be a stretch to say that Powder Room's crew is almost entirely female, there is a much higher
proportion of women involved than we're used to seeing, including all of the credited writers, a producer, line producer and myriad technicians.
Additionally, the film's cast includes some of the UK's foremost young, female talent — Sheridan Smith, Jaime Winstone, Oona Chaplin and Kate Nash.
Mark your diaries — release date in the UK is set for 29th November.

An egotistical giraffe pitcher ultimately strikes out when his competitive spirit places his own self-interest above his teammate.
Boyd dominates baseball games with his athletic pitches, but his supportive teammate Arnold Armadillo's natural instinct to retreat for cover whenever the ball draws near starts a losing streak. Boyd faces a moral and spiritual dilemma after he scares the skunk groundskeeper (causing quite the stink) and fails to communicate the change in practice location to his uncoordinated friend. Boyd's ego initially overrides his conscience, but Coach's biblical lecture quickly sets him straight. Boyd welcomes Arnold back to the fold, and the armadillo clinches the score, though whether by chance or God's intercession remains unclear. The narrative's unlikely outcome, in which winning remains the reward, seems to stunt the characters' growing humility. The bland illustrations seek to project humor in the details. Boyd wears a clothespin to stifle the skunk's fumes, for instance. Unbelievable, earnest dialogue expresses Boyd's beliefs: "Thank you, God, for a great game!" Coach's redirection fails in both subtlety and developmental appropriateness in one fell swoop. "Well, I know a great umpire that will help you make good decisions in life. That umpire's name is PEACE." Boyd's immediate change of heart fails to address the realistic complexities of Christians' walk in faith.
The heavy-hoofed message stomps any legitimate sense of serenity. (Picture book. 4-7)

Happy Friday, everyone!
I am amazed at how quickly the weeks roll past...maybe that has something to do with having a sweet toddler in the house! :)
This weeks feature is Custom Banners.
Our Banners come in all of our party packs, but you can always order a single banner for any occasion for $10!
I recently made this Fathers Day banner to celebrate Dad's day around our house...
One of David's Father's day gifts was this picture in a frame that Emma helped me paint! I would say it was the favorite gift of the year & proudly has a place in his office.
The banner + Emma dressed up in her daddy's clothes made it all come together perfectly!

I worked as a personal trainer for a number of years and for many large gym chains. I had gotten into the industry to help people who had no clue where to start with their health and fitness, and I was excited to be a part of someone's journey to a better quality of life.
However, I found that the real world of personal training is far different from the idyllic picture I had in mind. Below are the hard-hitting truths that the fitness industry tries to keep hush-hush. My hope is that if you are looking to hire a trainer (which I would still recommend and endorse), you can be better informed as to finding the right person to work with.
1. It doesn't take much to get certified.
Most trainers have a basic certification that often covers just the bare bones of training clients. All it takes to become a trainer is $400-$700 and passing a test, which takes about 3-6 months of studying a textbook. Don't assume the person you are working with is an expert--they are trying their best, no doubt. If you really want someone who knows their stuff, look for a trainer with multiple certifications. I would recommend someone with the NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) basic certification, as well as the CES (Corrective Exercise Specialist) and PES (Peformancen Enhancement Specialist). A trainer with more experience and certifications is going to cost a higher hourly rate, but that trainer will be more effective and efficient with your time.
2. . Trainers are working under constant pressure to make their sales goals.
This is the reality that I was completely unaware of when I first started out as a trainer. Of course gyms want to make money and, yes, being a trainer requires presenting your skills and asking for the sale. But, when your sales goal doubles every month and every staff meeting is about your "closing rate", it starts to feel a little jaded. Fitness managers, or the trainers' immediate boss, make a percentage of whatever the trainers sell, so they are motivated to micromanage their employees to make sure they make the sale. Trainers make commissions off of the sale of their training sessions and supplements. They can push supplements or products on you that you don't need, just so they can make their sales goal for the month and not be in jeopardy of being fired. I was taught tips and tricks on how to manipulate people's emotions so they would buy training--even if they really couldn't afford it. As you can see, often it is not the client's best interest that is the top priority.
3. Gyms often value sales skills above actual training skills.
I have seen gyms that hired trainers who weren't even certified yet, in the name of making more sales. If you are personable, fit-looking, and have a basic knowledge of exercise, they want you. As a trainer, you are first and foremost, in their eyes, a salesman. The other side of this coin is that if a trainer is good at convincing their client to stick around and buy more sessions, the more likely it is that client will have results, despite wanting to throw in the towel. A trainer's perseverance is key in helping a client stick with a program they've committed to.
4. There is a high turnover rate for trainers.
If you seem to see different trainers at your gym every week, that is a red flag. It means they are just trying to get bodies on the floor to make sales, instead of investing in their employees success over the long term. Also, don't be surprised if your trainer suddenly quits and goes to a different gym...If he or she didn't make a sales goal, got tired of sales goals or the pushy/greedy management, or finds that another area of town is perhaps more lucrative, they can leave with barely any notice and you will be put with another trainer who you may or may not want to work with.
5. Bad trainers make up the workout on the fly.
If your trainer isn't keeping records of your workout or progress, then he or she is not truly invested in your success--they are just trying to make it through the day. You should hire someone who will approach your sessions with scientific precision and complete focus.
Of course, not every gym or trainer will suffer from the situations I have described. My hope is that you don't experience any of these situations--as a client or a trainer. However, always approach hiring a trainer with a little bit of research and saavy under your belt. You will make a better decision and a better shot at meeting your health and fitness goals.


text: It's going to take me a bit longer to type this entry because I have fake nails on. I usually don't get them but last year for Halloween I got them done and this year I decided to keep the tradition going. Damn it's super hard to type. Anyways, it's been awhile and a lot has gone on. I'm not sure if I wrote about this but a couple weeks ago I went out two nights in a row and one of those nights I did something really bad. I actually don't feel like typing it out because I don't want to see it in writing nor do I want a paper trail in case anyone I know should ever happen to read this. I didn't kill anyone or anything like that but it's just not something I'm proud of. The second night was actually a lot of fun. I went out with coworkers and we met these random guys, one of which was a doctor and he was with this older guy who kept hitting on everyone. They were super nice and the doctor was pretty good looking. Then because I'm such a shitty girlfriend and I did that other bad thing, I got the stomach flu to put me in my place and I was super sick for 3 days and had to call in sick to work for a day. I haven't gotten that sick in a long time. I did lose a lot of weight though (silver lining?), but I gained it all back by now. Other than that I've just been working and for awhile I was scared to go out again just because I think those two nights in a row had lowered my immune system which was probably part of the reason why I got sick. The boyfriend wants to go out tonight and some coworkers want to go out tomorrow night. I tried to get my boyfriend to go out last night but he didn't want to, so it looks like I'll be having another two nights in a row problem but hopefully without the sick part. Another event is I finally went to see my psychiatrist to get my meds sorted out and I finally got my xanax back so I wouldn't act like a Central Park squirrel at work and she started me on this new medication for my overall anxiety and the side effects are that it could make me have an increased appetite which is HORRIBLE because I already have an increased appetite and that it could make me tired. I'm not sure about the increased appetite because I'm generally always hungry but I am for sure tired. That thing puts me out…greatest sleeping pill ever, but it sucks the next morning I'm drowsy and feel almost like in a fog. I mean of course I'm not going to be anxious if I'm tired and feel like a zombie all day. I'm hoping it will eventually go away…? Well, that's all for now. Will write about my nights out in a few. Hopefully I won't get sick again but I plan on not doing anymore bad things….at least I hope I won't.

His coat, mane and tail were black as midnight and glossy as satin.

And he WAS half wild, for never had saddle rested upon his back, girth encircled him or bit fretted the sensitive mouth.

By Michael Devlin
Most folks in their eighties have long since given up on hell raising, preferring instead a life of doctor's appointments, naps, and early bird specials. Not eighty-seven year old Leo Earl Sharp of Michigan City, Indiana. Last Friday, Michigan police pulled over Sharp for erratic driving and discovered the octogenarian kingpin was hauling 228 lbs of cocaine in his pickup truck. Charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, Sharp appeared to be suffering from some form of senile dementia, and claimed that he was forced by unknown entities to transport the illicit haul at gunpoint. He was released on bond by a U.S. Magistrate, and further details of the case are pending.
One might ask himself what demented forces might drive a man of such antiquity to lengths; it may be that poor Mr. Sharp had a terrible childhood. Two brothers in North Platte, Nebraska, certainly did. On Monday, police were dispatched to their residence, where they discovered the three and five-year old confined to a dog cage in a trailer redolent of animal feces. The childrens' mother and three other adults were taken into custody on various charges.
Across the pond in Jolly Old England, things are no less strange. This week, Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, announced a startling branch in his family tree. Just in time for Halloween, Charles claims a relation to none other than Vlad the Impaler, the savage Romanian warlord who established his reputation butchering thousands of Ottoman soldiers and leaving their twitching bodies skewered on spikes in the wilds of Transylvania. Vlad became the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Prince Charles is starting to look pretty undead himself.

The bones in my skull have overlapped a bit more or something, and I now have a ridge down the center of my skull. So. Should I be learning Klingon and shaving my head?
Or should I just be worrying about brain shrinkage? Maybe I should stop putting my head in the dryer when I'm looking for missing socks...
Who was God's role model?
I felt bad when the Vampire got too big for me to be physically able to carry him when he asked. I held him as long and as often as I could until then.
I used to feel guilty when the Vampire got sick, because I always rather liked it when he was all dragged out; it was the only time in his life (including infancy) that he wanted to cuddle.
The Vampire and I always race to be first to get to those thin skims of ice that form over puddles. We each want to be the one to break the ice... even though we are both as likely as not going to end up ankle-deep in muddy icy water, and then squelching through the rest of the day in one soaked shoe and sock.
The Vampire is faster, but I am sneakier, and more treacherous. I lure him towards the deeper puddles.
I made a big deal about The Cat being the Pirate's pet, and giving her to him as a Father's Day present. The predictable result is that the cat clearly sees herself as primarily my companion, but guess who changes the litter box?
There wasn't any real point to this blog entry at all, but you still read it. Why?

It's not too late to help
Last minute giving can make a huge difference
Christmas is just days away. Except for a few odds and ends, most people have their holiday preparations in place.
It is different for the many churches and other organizations that help the needy during the holidays, with everything from toys for the children to food for families. Many still need help — your help — to fill all the needs of which they are aware.
Some of the good Samaritans are wrapping up their holiday season assistance projects. So, if you have not assisted them already, you may conclude it is too late to do so.
It is never too late to act in the spirit of the season — to play Santa Claus, if you like to think of it that way.
Find an organization or church with a holiday assistance initiative.
Make a donation.
It will make your Christmas morning brighter, we assure you.

Last year I reviewed Chelsea Wolfe's Apokalypsis. I thought it was a good release that kept my attention with surprisingly bearable female leads and its dark atmosphere. I recently refound my love for it so I decided to check out her previous release and 2010 debut, The Grime And The Glow.
It's similar in some ways, and different in many to Apokalypsis.
Sugarcoating a turd is pointless and I'll tell you right up front the production on The Grime And The Glow is shit. I'd go so far as to say the production is the top reason this album wasn't so well-received, and it gave her the 'noise' tag. I don't even mind noise rock or noise-influenced music (Ghola represent!) but The Grime And The Glow feels very inconsistent. Tracks like the "The Whys" are very lo-fi and it does have a novelty to it, but that novelty wears off about thirty seconds into the song. The mixing is weak on here too. "Fangs," has a bass sound that literally makes me cringe, and that's one of the better written tracks with a relatively 'decent' production compared to the rest of the album.
The songwriting on here isn't half as bad though, and Chelsea Wolfe does display a competence in writing decent doom-and-folk influenced rock. "Bounce House Demons" would later become the track "Demons" from Apokalypsis, and "Moses" would become my favorite Chelsea Wolfe track thanks to the redux. "Noorus" is a bending track that sports some very key-warping when the layered grooving takes a break. The Grime And The Glow is a very subtle album, although I'm not sure if that's a byproduct of the production or the songwriting. The grooves don't directly 'stick,' but they're noticeable, making the album bearable if not memorable.
Wolfe's great, woeful vocalwork is here in a less refined state. "Halfsleeper" is in my opinion her vocal apex on this album with its beautiful simplicity. Her voice harmonizes with itself to create a haunting, funeral atmosphere. This contrasts pretty actively with the bouncy opener, "Advice & Vices," which is surprisingly more upbeat and catchy. Like the majority of the album, it sounds like the whole master recording of this track fell into a vat of reverb and didn't quite make it out the same. The bonus tracks on The Grime And The Glow are listenable but that's about it. You won't be remembering them anytime soon.
Shame her debut wasn't as strong, but I guess it paved the way for Apokalypsis.

Chicken Fricassee and Concrete
Milky foamy afternoon
two sleepy dawns
the walls of a pram
a voice, was it?
A street, scabbed knees.
Not wearing long pants
maybe dresses; but running.
Not keeping mouth open, close it!
Chicken fricassee and concrete.
Fields of wheat with
angry farmers.
The smell of pencils.
Hands and dance.
Cold moving away.

It is exciting to know about the developments involved in the computer technology. Though a small development takes place, it holds more stuff and powerful from the previous one. It is well known that computers will advance more in the next few years. The computer shrink just like the microchip remains smaller. The scientists are finding to reduce the size equal to atom size. The quantum computers are said to be the latest development in computer technology. A quantum bit does not present in the usual 1 or 0 binary state of the present computers. A qubit is usually present in any one or with the combination of two states. The unique sounding difference is the main cause for quantum transistors helps a computer to function 1,000,000,000 times speeder than the present computers.
Nowadays, the technology and inventions are made in such a way to experience the best output. Most people have an opinion that the quantum computers will be in reality in about five or ten years.
The optic computer makes use of the light's speed than focusing on the electricity speed. It is the best option for data transmission. The electricity travels in about one tenth of the light's speed. The photonic or optic transistors can work thousands of times quicker than the present generation computers.
The fiber optic cables are popular, but there are chances for it to be used as switches in computers. The individual photons will be connected to produce on or off switch employed in the transistors. It is not like electricity. The light beams will travel faster and through each other. It eliminates the requirement for bulky tracks of conventional wiring. It will help the optic computer to remain small as well as useful for all kinds of application.
The quantum computer employs a unique method than classical computing. One of the best analogies to think of quantum computers is the landscape with valleys and mountains. You can also think about solving an optimization problem to identify the least point in the landscape. The aim will be to determine the least area on the map and learn the coordinates. It helps to give the optimal solution and least energy to the problem.
The classical computers can only walk through this landscape for running the classical algorithms. The quantum computer will tunnel the landscape and thus it remains simple to identify the least point. The D- wave processor finds out the possibilities to least energy to form the relationships.

and take the quote to mean that they should attack things that they perceive to offend God, and if they meet resistance, that must mean that they are right.

Frequent Links
Venous blood
Venous blood is deoxygenated blood which travels from the peripheral vessels, through the venous system into the right atrium of the heart. Deoxygenated blood is then pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs via the pulmonary artery which is divided in two branches, left and right to the left and right lungs respectively. Blood is oxygenated in the lungs and returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.
Venous blood is typically colder than arterial blood,[1] and has a lower oxygen content and pH. It also has lower concentrations of glucose and other nutrients, and has higher concentrations of urea and other waste products. The difference in the oxygen content of arterial blood and venous blood is known as the arteriovenous oxygen difference.[2]
Most medical laboratory test are conducted on venous blood, with the exception of arterial blood gas tests. Venous blood is obtained for lab work by venipuncture (also called phlebotomy), or by finger prick for small quantities.
Human blood is red, ranging from bright red when oxygenated to dark red when not. It owes its color to hemoglobin, to which oxygen binds. Deoxygenated blood is darker due to the difference in color between deoxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin.
The blue appearance of surface veins is caused mostly by the scattering of blue light away from the outside of venous tissue if the vein is at 0.5 mm deep or more. Veins and arteries appear similar when skin is removed and are seen directly.[3][4]
Venous blood is mainly used for blood transfusion. Commonly only components of the blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors, and platelets are used. It is one of the three sources of stem cells, which are extracted through apheresis.[5]

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2016
Holidays are right around the corner and with this week's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, people can now afford to get their desirable makeover under budget. While many smokers delay quitting until the New Year, recent research has shown that every 50 cigarettes produces one DNA mutation per lung cell. These damages are permanent and linked to the development of malignant tumors, which eventually become cancer. Scientists have already found a link between smoking and 17 types of cancer. By deferring their attempts to quit, even for a few months, tobacco users are letting cigarettes leave irreversible damages into their lungs.
One of the reasons why cigarette users do not attempt to quit during holiday season is the fear of gaining weight. A study conducted at the University of Oklahoma analyzed the influence of Thanksgiving on weight gain and discovered that most people gained one to five pounds on average. Those who fell under the overweight category were more prone to experience weight increase. Although nobody wants to put on extra pounds, smoking is not a healthy alternative and can lead to both short-term and long-term harmful effects.
Quitting smoking and losing weight at the same time is possible with The Kerry Gaynor Method. Celebrities such as Aaron Eckhart and Chelsea Handler have effortlessly broken their nicotine addiction with the help of The Kerry Gaynor Method. Recommended by doctors around the world, this hypnotherapy-based technique has helped close to 10,000 people quit cold turkey. With no undesirable side effects such as withdrawals, cravings or weight gain, the method is proven to be 85% effective. From Friday to Monday, The Kerry Gaynor Method will offer a 50% off discount at Amazon.
Moreover The Kerry Gaynor Method's new extension, Vital Weight Loss, is a plant-based herbal formula that can help with weight loss during this holiday season. The Vital Weight Loss contains the rare, powerful ingredient WellTrim® iG– the only clinically proven, authentic African Mango seed extract known for promoting weight loss. This natural formula is comprised of unique properties that helps to suppress appetite, boost metabolism, block blood sugar conversion to body fat, and improve insulin sensitivity. The Kerry Gaynor Method is offering 30% off for Vital Weight Loss from Friday to Monday.
Instead of postponing weight and health goals until the New Year, people can take advantage of the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to quit for good and shed those extra pounds with The Kerry Gaynor Method. Quitting may seem more challenging during a season where many run the risk of overeating, but with the right methods people can eliminate both cigarettes and undesirable weight at the same time.

Indigo, Cyanine, Beryl
Helen Vendler
- Never by Jorie Graham
Carcanet, 112 pp, £9.95, September 2002, ISBN 1 85754 621 0
The new volume of poems by my Harvard colleague Jorie Graham, in its US edition, bears on its jacket a detail from Vermeer's The Astronomer, showing the hand of the astronomer as it touches, almost affectionately, the zodiacal globe it is about to spin. Although the star-gazer cannot make physical contact with his remote field of vision, the caressing way his finger lies on the surface of the globe suggests his intense intimacy with the sky. The window that sheds light on the globe, enabling the astronomer to see it, presents the light of earth meeting the light of mind. We might take the astronomer as a figure for the poet, reaching forever towards a contour of sense-experience deeply known in the body, but unavailable in language except through the mind's mediation. Even the most intellectual poets begin as children enthralled by the senses through which the world is made known to them. The subsequent obsessive adult drive towards representation, entangling sense and mind in a Gordian knot, poses the problem underlying poetic composition: how to make a third thing, a linguistic one, in which the senses represent mind, and mind re-creates the senses. Every achieved poem is built on the paradox by which an object (the poem) reproduces, on the virtual plane of language, sense and mind moving inextricably together, as they do in every act of consciousness.
How to follow the flickers of consciousness without reducing it to 'pure mentality' (that Platonic fiction) is one aim of the poetry of Jorie Graham; another (as Vermeer's all-comprehending globe suggests) is to accept consciousness as a universal without prior limitation by identity or location; a third is to caress the universe as one examines it. Graham named her marvellous selected poems (1974-94) The Dream of the Unified Field: perhaps Never could be thought of as the dream of a potentially unified (if now disunited) globe. The volume evolves in tandem with human evolution, beginning with the sea from which we came (contemplated by the poet alone at the shoreline) and ending with the altars we have deserted, as she finds herself in a church on Holy Saturday, herself the witness and recorder of 'the taken-down God'. In Never there are four poems with the word 'prayer' in their title (representing that upward gaze so frequent in Graham's work); there are two called 'Evolution' and several mentioning the sea or shore ('Gulls', 'Dusk Shore Prayer', 'Ebbtide', 'Estuary', 'Surf', and 'High Tide'). An endnote to the first 'Evolution' reveals the state of mind in which Never was written:
During the 1850s, while Darwin was concluding On the Origin of Species, the rate of extinction [for species] is believed to have been one every five years. Today, the rate of extinction is estimated at one every nine minutes. Throughout the writing of this book, I was haunted by the sensation of that nine-minute span . . . My sense of that time frame [and its inevitable increase, even as we 'speak'] inhabits, as well as structures, the book. It is written up against the sensation of what is now called 'ecocide'. I was also influenced by, among other texts, the 'World Scientists' Warning to Humanity', sponsored by the Union of Concerned Scientists (1993).
To feel an extinction (a never) taking place every nine minutes, six species vanishing beyond recall every hour, more than a hundred per day, is to undergo a vertiginous sense of disappearance and irremediability. The world within which we have evolved is not ours for long, not as we have known it. In any case, the result of the fear of species extinction is to make Graham's lines even more intricate in their observation of the flux and reflux of the natural world. It is only very slowly that she makes her way from the seashore to the divine and human forms with which the book will close – the taken-down God, a homeless woman. The book's coda portrays evolution as what has impelled us into language, as nature thereby wills the representation of her contours into being. Literature is not a dream, distinct from the real from which it arises; nor is it a fever, a hysterical or diseased condition; rather, it is the painstaking transmutation and elaboration in language of what the expectant mind attentively receives. (My paraphrase does not represent the wave-like pushing of the tides of reality onto the shore of representation fitfully and thrustingly taking place in Graham's closing lines.)
In order to create on the page the mind in action, pushing and pausing, cresting and deepening, Graham has been driven, over her writing life, to many strategies. Before I return to Never, and its almost desperate moves towards amplitude of poetic response, I want to sum up briefly earlier attempts by Graham to understand the relation of mind and world. In a recent interview (1996), she summed up the tension in her work between 'encounter' and 'resistance' as it changes over time:
In each of the books, I essentially had an encounter with something I would consider 'other', something that resists the will of the speaker. In . . . Erosion, the encounter was primarily with paintings – and what intrigued me about visual representations was their apparently eternal nature, the ways in which the events could not be altered and yet were always taking place . . . In . . . The End of Beauty, the place of paintings in that dynamic was taken by myth . . . In the book after that, Region of Unlikeness, I tried to use the kind of fact we think of as autobiographical as the texture against which I was testing my sense of what knowing, or thinking, or feeling is . . . It was an imaginative vertigo that was very useful for me, at that time. Obviously if I believed that facts were truly real I would just write out the narrative! Rather, because I believe that the thing that can be invented by the presence of the facts – what swirls around them, the cloud-chamber if you will, is real – much more so, perhaps, than the who-did-what-to-whom – I used it in that book.
The book entitled Materialism in fact tries to use physical place as the resistant material.
These remarks concern the thematic or imaginative material for the books under discussion; I want to add a description of their corresponding stylistic ventures. The antiphonal symmetries of Erosion (1983) showed the mind in dialectical motion; in and out, back and forth. We find there a naked early phrasing of the longings that continue to animate Never: a desire that our sense questings should 'mend' and 'change' us. To this, Graham adds that the world also desires, as we receive its conflicting aspects, that we should 'mend' or 'calm' its incoherences in our reciprocating consciousness:
Oh how we want
to be taken
and changed,
want to be mended
by what we enter.
Is it thus
with the world?
Does it wish us
to mend it,
light and dark,
and flesh? Will it
be free then?
I think the world
is a desperate
element. It would have us calm it,
receive it.
The dialectical back-and-forth of Erosion proving too Procrustean a form for the myriad and flexible motions of the mind, Graham next resorted, in The End of Beauty (1987), to a filmic style, freezing the mind's action, frame by numbered frame. The paradigm for this step-by-step process is Penelope unweaving as she weaves, keeping alive in her mind Ulysses' desire for her by prolongation of her own desire for him:

Scientists have discovered the third known species of walking shark in Indonesia. Which means that there are, apparently, other walking shark species. And also, that sharks walk.
Time to take a moment to let that sink in. Meanwhile, watch the video above. The new species, called Hemiscyllium halmahera, is a type of epaulette shark described in the journal Aqua: the International Journal of Ichthyology. The shark lives off the coral reefs along the coast of Halmahera, a remote Indonesian island.
"Its features include a general brown coloration with numerous clusters of mainly 2-3 dark polygonal spots," according to the dry abstract, which doesn't really delve into the fact that it walks on rocks.
Epaulette sharks, so named for the dramatic badge-like spot behind the pectoral fin, use their fins to help navigate the uneven environment of a coral reef.

What is pediatric bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder, which used to be known as manic depressive disorder is a strongly genetically determined, chronic and often disabling condition. Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating periods of depression and mania or hypomania. During manic/hypomanic episodes, a person may not sleep for several days and not feel tired, their mood may be elevated and they may feel self confident and superior to others, they often feel as if they are in possession of some special knowledge. Speech is often rapid, tangential and disorganized with rapidly changing content. People often report that their thoughts are going faster than they can speak. During these times people may engage in high risk activities such as drug use, sexual indescretions and spending sprees. Mania may also present as extreme irritability and aggression at times.
Children's episodes are frequently characterized by the more irritable feelings with poor frustration tolerance, tantrums, impulsivity and poor ability to accept consequences.Children with Bipolar Disorder also frequently show a fascination for blood and gore and/or report violent nightmares. They often show impaired social skills and are often misdiagnosed as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and/or Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Bipolar children, however frequently react very negatively to stimulants such as ritalin and may show increased levels of aggression, hostility and self destructive behaviors. These conditions can also, however co-occur and skillful medication management is often required for these children.

How Bipolar disorder is diagnosed in children
Correct diagnosis is essential for treatment and some studies estimate that up to 69% of those with Bipolar Disorder are misdiagnosed! The potential cost is huge, to those suffering from this disorder, their families, schools, workplaces and communities. A single bipolar disorder, when severe can wreak havoc on a young child or adult's life.
A qualified mental health professional - psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker of marriage and family therapist can help make the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. Currently there are not many questionnaires assessing bipolar symptomology in children, although there is much research in this area. A diagnosis should never be based on a symptom questionnaire alone. It is important for the professional involved to have a developmental, social, educational and family history as well as information about and previous interventions and their effectiveness.
The lack of clear diagnostic criteria for pediatric bipolar disorder stems from a lack of research in this area, most of our research into pediatric bipolar disorder has been within the last decade, and a lack of diagnostic criteria specific to children. As a result children suffering from a severe disorder which manifests in impulsivity, poor judgement, running, pushing, jumping and generally causing chaos in their life and that of those around them, are labeled as oppositional or anti social and parents are frequently counseled to provide "tough love".
The importance of an accurate diagnosis cannot be overstated, bipolar disorder, for all it's storms can generally be pretty effectively managed with a combination of medication and lifestyle management. Part of the problem is, who wants to know that managing your sleep cycle is important when you're 14, or that this is a biochemical thing when you're 8. Some of the most destructive effects of Bipolar disorder come from the social judgements which are cast.

After the diagnosis
So, now that you have a diagnosis, what are your options? There are several options, but generally medication has to be among the forefront of any treatment program. Many parents struggle with the idea of giving the children medication, particularly psychiatric medications. They worry if their kid's personality will change, if they'll become a zombie, maybe become addicted to their medications, and many struggle with their own feelings of shame and guilt (which society readily reinforces).
There is no single solution for everyone, but particularly around the issue of medications I believe that current research and recommendations should guide. Unfortunately, if you're expecting to find really reliable, fact based information you need to go to the source, or as close to the source as you can understand. What current research shows is that medication is generally essential in managing Bipolar disorder, so let's address the above concerns. Regarding personality change - not going to happen, unless you mean an irritable, moody, oversensitive child becoming more able to deal with frustration, managing their moods better and not being as oversensitive, that can and does happen with correct medication if the child is genuinely depressed, but I really feel in these cases, it's more like getting to see the kid's real personality again, the person they were before the depression started. It's like watching a hedgehog unfold and begin foraging again. I think what people are afraid of is that their child will somehow no longer be themselves, like the things they like and still do those cute little things which makes each kid unique. That doesn't happen.
What you are doing with medication is correcting a deficit, not changing the essence. Few parents would balk at insulin if that's what their child needed to live. Well, it's the same thing, mental illness robs people of their souls. The most common comment from kids who have been correctly diagnosed and medicated is " I feel like a real person" "I finally know what it feels like to feel normal" "I feel like my old self is back" - and this is from children.
Although there are some psychiatric medications which are addictive, the ones used to treat Bipolar disorder are not. Believe me, no one is getting high off these meds, we're trying to even them out, right? And the people they show on T.V shuffling around in mental wards - the Thorazine shuffle as it's known, that's really T.V stuff. Now most of the medications used have sedation as a side effect, which, when you're dealing with a kid who hasn't slept in 3 days and is seeing things, is really not a bad option.
The older antipsychotics, are used much less often now as the new atypical antipsychotics are much more effective on the whole and have less side effects. Some kids with Bipolar disorder do become psychotic or lose touch with reality and if it's at that stage, you really need to be heading for the closest hospital or calling 911. It truly has no reflection on your parenting skills, no one can manage an out of control, severe Bipolar incident, at that stage, it truly takes a team.
The name antipsychotic bothers many people, especially if their child has not had active psychotic symptoms like delusions and/or hallucinations, but the latest research shows that these are in fact often the best agents to treat a bipolar episode, particularly in young children who often cycle more rapidly (from hour to hour at times) than adults.
Traditionally Lithium and/or the anti convulsants were first line treatments and they are still very effective agents and some people will only respond to a certain one, but the antipsychotics are more frequently being prescribed either as a first line treatment or as an adjunct to an anticonvulsant or Lithium.
Although Lithium has been considered
the gold standard in treatment it has some significant drawbacks. There
is a very narrow margin between therapeutic and toxic doses and so
Lithium levels need to be carefully monitored with blood draws on a
regular basis. You also need to be extremely vigilant about
drinking enough water to avoid becoming toxic, which is often hard to
manage in kids who are forgetful, running around etc.
So, medication needs to be carefully monitored, which brings me to my next point - go directly to the source, or was that the first one? The more knowledgeable, up to date, specialized psychiatrist you can possibly find (I know, ha, ha, right), but truly you have the right to interview any provider, they work for you and if it's not a good connection, move on, don't wait to see if it'll get better-it's like staying in a bad relationship. This person is going to be a central figure in your child's life for many, many years so pick carefully. Don't be pushed back to your G.P, Bipolar disorder is a chronic and serious mental illness and timely and effective treatment is essential, you need someone who specializes in this stuff - and not all child psychiatrist's do. I know this all is 100 000 times more difficult in the real/HMO world, but doing your homework and putting in effort up front really pays off.

This is a great hub which talks about the experience of being a mother of a child with emotional difficulties. Highly recommended.
Symptom variability
Bipolar disorder, like many other covers a range of symptoms which can vary from mild to severe. Less severe forms of Bipolar disorder are called Type II. In this disorder, the person shows symptoms of mania, but these do not meet the level that they seriously impede functioning or require hospitalization. It is no less important to accurately diagnose and treat Type II, which generally has a slightly better prognosis and can typically be well managed. Children often cycle more rapidly than adults and periods of hypomania and lower grade depression may be referred to as Cyclothymia.
Children may show less obvious signs of Bipolar disorder as they are too young to smoke, drink & drive fast, but they may show a fearlessness beyond their peers and a disregard for personal safety. Children also tend to be more irritable and aggressive and this is often misdiagnosed or blamed on poor parenting practices. Another risk is that, if Bipolar is not diagnosed and the child, or adult for that matter, is treated with antidepressants alone, there is a chance that this medication could cause further mania, another reason you really want and deserve some one who knows their stuff! If your child shows signs of significant mood swings, depression or excessive irritability for more than 2 weeks, you may want to consult your pediatrician - and any time a child talks about not wanting to live or to go to sleep and never wake up, do not pass go, you need immediate professional intervention.
Don't be fobbed off with the "worried well" and "I'm sure it's just a stage" thing. In the words of a favorite T.V series "you da momma!" (or dadda as the case may be), so if you are genuinely concerned and have tried a couple of different things without results (and remember consistency is key), then go to your doctor, if you're not satisfied with their answer ask more questions, "How do you know that it's not Bipolar?", "What are the differential diagnoses?" "How much experience do you have with this disorder?" are all perfectly acceptable questions that any mental health provider should be able to answer for you.
You know your child better than anyone else in the world and early identification and treatment minimizes so many problems, not to mention tears, drama, guilt and blame.

Carrying on
The good thing about meds and one of the most exciting discoveries to date, IMHO, is that our brains are able to adapt and compensate for much longer than we thought possible. It is actually possible to grow new brain cells! How cool is that?! and even better, both anti depressants and the medications used to treat Bipolar disorder promote this new cell growth and are able to make structural changes in those areas which were previously non functioning.
Another interesting thing is that these neurochemical and structural changes can be induced and facilitated in several way, and by us mere mortals too. There is a rapidly growing body of evidence that psychotherapy is able to produce those same changes - and with lasting effect.
Again I run across the reality/HMO principle, but what the research is showing, is that in 6 months to a year of psychotherapy, areas of the brain associated with particular abilities, say impulsivity which is largely controlled by the forebrain which previously showed little activity, showed new activity in these areas when subjects were asked to do a task measuring impulsivity, so we can demonstrate both behavioral and biologically based brain changes through therapeutic intervention.
The evidence based recommendations for treatment of bipolar disorder include both medication and psychotherapy as being the most effective, as measured by symptom reduction and long lasting changes, as measured by number of episodes following treatment. Other mediums such as art therapy, equine therapy, social skills groups, mentors, parenting skills development, family therapy and applied behavioral analysis which leads to a structured behavior management system have all shown much promise, but are not as well documented as some of the more traditional therapies. They can and do, however provide much benefit when augmenting medication and psychotherapy.
The single most important factor linked to resilience in children, however is the presence of one or more adults in their life who are a constant, consistent, non judgmental, supportive and available to a child. More than money, parental job level, education, parental education, more than anything else, it's the presence of a constant, consistent, loving and accepting adult and that, it seems can perform miracles.
How can I tell my parents that im bipolar if they wont belive me?
Superb hub, very informative. I have met several children who have a fascination with gore and blood but never realized that this was a symptom of pedatric BPD.
A well written extremely informative article. I've recently started doing extensive research on just this topic as well as other mood disorders in pre-teens. I have a 12 year old neice who recently attempted suicide for a second time after being diagnosed with bipolar. The parents refuse the diagnosis. The added resoures in your hub pointing in the right direction is very helpful.
Looking forward to more great writing.
Excellent information...kudos for presenting psycho-babble in layman's terms. I have an ADHD/ODD son and have experienced much of what you have written. Have you considered a blog or website offering info to parents? They need viable, honest information, and don't always know where to find it.
great informative hub and a wonderful presentation.

Reading round-up: Professor Elemental and more
Look at the cover of issue 4 - isn't it fab? I love the graphic pattern all those cogs make.
I was really sad that the series was ending, but got to the end of volume 5 to read 'COMING SOON - SPLENDID COMICS'. Yes, the Prof has decided to broaden the scope of the comic in future, so they won't just be about his adventures, but will cover all sorts of fantastical Victorian fantasy escapades. Things were set up in these two issues by a two-part story, 'Locomotive', which I enjoyed very much, even without the Prof, his orang-utan butler or the usual crew.
One of the things I like about the Prof is the way he works with other artists across a range of genres. Because of that, when he launched his Patreon this week I signed up. If you're not familiar with Patreon, it's an online way for creative types to get ongoing funding for their projects. While things like Kickstarters get things started and you usually receive one of whatever it is you're helping to get made - my most recent chip-in was to fund the production of a 1980s slasher-movie-themed comic, Slashermania - Patreons are continuous, and the artist you support rewards their patrons with early looks at their work, special snippets, exhibitions or whatever their medium allows. As the Prof is mainly a musician, a lot of what I get will be music, but he's also working on more comics, a radio show and other lovely things. I feel that by supporting him, I'm also helping support a lot of the artists he works with, which is a bonus. We've already had an early look at his new tea packaging, and a nice Thank You illustration.
The 12.30 From Croydon
As well as reading comics (and loads for SFX and Horrorville; they are keeping me busy) I also recently read a reissued vintage crime novel, The 12.30 From Croydon, by a vintage crime writer who I'm very fond of. I'm not giving this one a standalone review because in the end I felt a bit blah about it. I've got a lot of Freeman Wills Crofts' earlier work, and he's very meticulous; all his plots are completely possible and often solving the whodunnit depends on the timing and sequence of events. This one represents a bit of a departure as you know from the start whodunnit - in fact, for most of the novel you're inside the murderer's head, seeing how and why things are done. Unfortunately while plotting is one of Crofts' strengths, creating characters isn't, and it's always going to be difficult to sympathise with someone who kills for personal gain. In this case, the killer seems particularly foolish and not very good at understanding other people, so I wasn't particularly affected by his anxieties about what he planned to do and how he schemed to avoid getting caught. The thing I found most interesting was the very early account of how people travelled by aeroplane in the 1930s. I do like Crofts' other work, but this one's definitely the bottom of the pile for me. Read it if you're stuck in an airport and there is nothing else to do...

Hmm, that's disappointing about the book!ReplyDelete
Professor Elemental is ace, I love him. The cover of issue 4 is supremely cool, it would look great in a frame, very Victorian Traveler.ReplyDelete
I'm with you on being disapointed in a book but persevering anyway. I'd heard a few bloggers enthuse about edward Marsden's Railway Detective series and was pleased to find four for a £1 in a charity shop but they were so slow and plodding with far too many recaps, it was a real chore to get through all of them. xxx
I'm afraid I'd never heard of Professor Elemental, so this was quite educational. That cover if fab indeed! What a shame that book did not live up to your expectations, though. xxxReplyDelete
With a shameful look on my face I'm admiring that I have NEVER before saw Professor's work. This is one of those moments when I have to say that not everything reaches my part of the Europe. :(ReplyDelete
The words of the songs - amazing.
Happy Saturday evening!
