We have always stayed at the Renaissance Concourse on our way to Puerto Vallarta, but switched this year to the Gateway to avoid the shuttle ride o and from the hotel. The Gateway is the first stop on the tramway that services the convention center and the rental car area. We arrived at 11:00 p.m.
I was using Marriott Reward certificates for two rooms. I was happy to see the hotel had upgraded the rooms to the Concierge Level without me having to make a request. (I am a Marriott Platinum member.)
Check in was a breeze. The rooms were great. Breakfast in the morning was great in the lounge (We arrived on a Thursday, so the lounge was available Friday morning.)
Checkout was quick and we were back at the terminal in less than 5 minutes. We will be spendinga night on our return as well. We got a AAA rate of $87.00 which includes breakfast in the restaurant. I will update any information on that stay.

(Italy - 1984)
Aspect ratio: 1.66:1
Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Stereo
Originally edited for US consumption and released under the title CREEPERS, the full-length version of Dario Argento's masterwork reveals the method in his madness. Whereas the edited version was a fast-moving collage of half-baked themes which evoked nothing of any significance, PHENOMENA reinstates the crazy-quilt pacing, whereby dream-like passages surrender abruptly to episodes of screaming hysteria, all of which is essential to any appreciation of the film's dark ambitions.
Romano Albani's sumptuous cinematography transforms the breathtaking Swiss locations into a fairy-tale landscape where monstrous eruptions of violence disturb the illusion of tranquility, and Jennifer Connelly drifts through the narrative in a state of near-hypnotic grace, allowing herself to become ensnared by the machinations of a deformed killer and his/her equally psychotic 'guardian'. True, the longer version is bogged down at times by lengthy dialogue scenes which hold up the plot, and the involvement of Donald Pleasence's chimp is no less misguided than before (its final act of retribution crosses the line into absurdity), but the set-pieces are magnificently realised, and the final 20 minutes are as hair-raising as anything in Argento's ouevre.
Prior to this blu ray release, Anchor Bay had released the 110 minute Europeran cut of the film first in non-anamorphic widescreen DVD and then with a new anamorphic transfer that also preserved the film's original 1.66:1 theatrical aspect ratio. What some people didn't realize at the time was that there was still a longer Italian cut that was close to 116 minutes in length.Read more ›
Argento has made a lot of mediocre movies the recent years, but this 1984 movie is a true classic.
The film is presented in 1.66:1 with a DD 5.1 soundtrack. Both picture and sound is good, but nothing spesial.Anchor bay has also thrown in some extras, but nothing very interesting in my opinion. There is a dull commentary with Argento and three of his collaborators in very broken english, a trailer, two music videos,a lousy behind the scenes segment, and a ridiculous Argento interview from a Joe Franklin show. And don`t be fooled to believe that the 28 minutes that is restored in this UNCUT and UNCENSORED version is gore.It is simply the full european version, and all 28 minutes are plain story and character building.No doubt that this cut is much better than the "Creepers" cut, though.
It is the feature itself that makes this disc a must-have.They simply don`t make movies like this anymore ! (Neither does Argento, unfortunately !)
Now I can hardly wait for Anchor Bay to release "Opera" and " Suspiria."

Decent,for a Disney Channel movie,worth watching if your into that sorta thing.
Read It and Weep,about a teenage girl named Jamie Bartlett and her journal,kinda predictable. She is brillant at writing stuff and creates a diary in which she styles herself as "Is", a popular girl with a personality opposite of her own, and writes about all the kids at school. It gets published,and everybody likes her. She has to make a decison between her friends,or the popular kids. She chooses the popular kids,but still trys to keep in touch with her freinds. Soon her freinds no longer like her,and they unoffically break up. Soon she's having fun with the popular kids,and has a boyfreind who she thinks is 'cute' and is ofc popular,and he's her date at the school dance. Soon she messes up a speech,and the truth leaks out that the diary is based off some people in school,the popular ones,with them being the bad guys. Still,her date thinks she's cool. At the school dance she apologizes,puts a load of seaweed on everybody and everything is back to normal. It wasn't the best ending…moreless

In World War 3.0: Microsoft and Its Enemies, Ken Auletta tells the story of history's most expensive antitrust case, the two-year-long courtroom battle between Microsoft and the Department of Justice that was estimated to have cost Microsoft alone over $100 million in legal fees. In a captivating book, parts of which were originally published as essays in The New Yorker, Auletta relates how Justice Department lawyer Joel Klein originally decided to challenge Microsoft for alleged anticompetitive practices directed against Netscape, how super-lawyer David Boies turned the government's originally weak case into a sure win, how the two sides came within inches of settling, and how Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson finally came to his now infamous decision to break up the corporate Goliath.
But this well-crafted and highly readable narrative is more than just a reporter's digest of the facts of the Microsoft trial. Auletta also paints vivid portraits of many of the trial's key figures, among them Boies, Judge Jackson, and Bill Gates himself. Although he readily admits that Bill Gates possesses a rare form of genius, Auletta portrays the 45-year-old tycoon as essentially an overgrown adolescent. He is fiercely competitive and quick to lose his temper, as when he broke down in frustration and shouted, "The government is wrong! They're just wrong!" He uses teenage jargon such as "hard core," a now infamous Microsoft term meaning tough and combative. And his two literary heroes are Holden Caulfield and Jay Gatsby, archetypal figures of adolescent stubbornness and romanticism. Although these characteristics may have helped propel Gates's entrepreneurial career, encouraging him to take risks that others would deem impossible, they also made him appear arrogant and untrustworthy in the eyes of Judge Jackson.
Like Gates, government lawyer David Boies is a risk taker, but unlike him, the slightly disheveled-looking trial lawyer is completely an adult. Boies, who gained even greater visibility for his Supreme Court defense of Al Gore last December, thrives on playing the game. Inside and outside of the courtroom, he is a high-stakes gambler. In an interview with Auletta, he admitted that "had Microsoft asked first, I might have represented Microsoft. I certainly don't think Microsoft was an evil empire. Nor do I think so now." Nonetheless, he went after Microsoft without mercy, pulling no punches in an all-out attempt to beat the opposition.
Boies's case presumably convinced Judge Jackson, though many trial watchers, particularly those inside Microsoft, believe that the judge was prejudiced against the corporation from the onset. Although Jackson often appears dim-witted and, according to Auletta, actually fell asleep in court on one occasion, Boies has said of him that he is much like Presidents Truman and Reagan. All three men "had been underestimated, had their intellects questioned, yet surprised critics with their tenacious convictions and vigorous common sense." Reading the book, it is hard not to agree with Boies's assessment. In fact, anyone who reads this book will walk away with not only a detailed knowledge of the ins and outs of the case against Microsoft but also an increased understanding of the chief players' methods and motives.

BARCELONA -- I ordered flowers, chocolates, and a vase to be delivered for my daughter's 21st birthday in February 2016. Floraqueen were given three phone numbers to contact in case of a problem. The delivery did not happen as the company claimed an incorrect address had been given.
After a few irate emails I was informed the courier had printed the delivery address incorrectly and would attempt delivery three days after the arranged date!!! I was offered 40% off my next order as compensation. I did not accept this and demanded a refund. I have not heard from Floraqueen since. Almost three weeks have passed!! Floraqueen are a useless company with horrendous reviews. I wish I had seen them before ordering. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
TEXAS -- I ordered flowers and they were not delivered! I don't like being taken for a ride or feeling that I have been duped into buying something online. This delivery meant a lot to me and my family and this company has perfectly stole the moment. The status of my delivery says it is delivered - it is not! The tracking number is not valid!! There has been no response to emails at all. I feel stupid that I did not read reviews first. Please read this and take heed -Do not use this company.
I am going to be taking this up with my credit card company as I believe they have acted fraudulently - I am also going to take it a step further than that. Companies like this make me sick and I have had enough of business's taking advantage of sometimes vulnerable people. This is criminal and should be stopped!
BARCALONA -- So embarrassing!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! I made an order for a flower delivery for Lisbon this Sunday to be delivered on the 24th. No flowers were delivered!!! 58€ wasted!! There was no indications that there would be any problems. I've read so many bad reviews about this company but still gave them a chance. Fool me once, shame on you... I'll never use this company again and I hope none of you reading this will. Unfortunately I didn't take the other bad reviews seriously!! It even says now that the flowers was delivered, which they are not.
The receiver lives in the middle of Lisbon and have never had problems getting anything delivered. The address is 100% correct and their system approved it. You can even Google the address and see the house on Google street view so there's no excuse. I've contacted the company twice via their website the last two days, and twice on FB today, no reply. I even provided them with the phone no. of my girlfriend, the receiver in Lisbon if there should be any problems with the delivery. No calls. Nice way to ruin a Christmas surprise!!
BARCELONA -- This kind of companies should just disappear. Managers probably don't care at all about the service they provide and just pay badly their own employees, who don't give crap about their job. That said, my experience: 8th anniversary with my wife, flowers leave Floraqueen's office and 12 hours later, no update. Floraqueen does nothing.
Two tickets on website, Floraqueen does nothing. I believe their ticketing doesn't even work until you've paid. I call past 5, no response. I have to call to delivery company. They lost my package. Floraqueen has no idea, of course. Their service is to put flowers in a box. Delivery on time? Who paid for us to take care of that? OH, IT'S 50% OF YOUR GODDAMN JOB AND OF COURSE YOU'RE CHARGING FOR IT!
Another 2 tickets the day after, stating no delivery was made. No response 4 hours later. I have to call AGAIN to a 902 (paid) number: apathy and not a single apology. They don't even acknowledge anything or know what happened, and they say they need to study the case. Really I hope you close business at the earliest. Will update on the pain that I foresee it's going to be to recover my money. Such a bad decision. Don't chose them.
VANCOUVER -- I ordered the flower delivery for my daughter's birthday. She lives in Australia. After I placed the order, I googled customer reviews and 90 percent of them were negative. I was stressing out whole day thinking that the flowers will not be delivered or will be of poor quality. The flowers were delivered to her on her birthday morning and were fresh and beautiful And made her feel happy and loved. Also my boyfriend always used Flora Queen to deliver flowers in Europe and was always on time and good quality 100 percent of the time. The only minus perhaps - they are a bit pricey.
BARCELONA -- I'm a man of impulse and have a very special friend (a bestie) who lives in Gozo an island just off Malta. She's very special to me so I got paid and I thought I'd order her some "blooms" as we call them in London to cheer her up. I've never done this before so I went for FloraQueen and must say I was worried as Gozo is tiny a mere spec on a map. So I ordered away and set a delivery date of two days hence and it was to go to her favorite bar.
Well on the day they were due to arrive they arrived and was she (Jo) pleased!!! Over the moon not just with my gesture but at the size and quality!! She even said the chocolates were lovely too! So for international deliveries you cannot beat FloraQueen and I will certainly be using the services again and would highly recommend.
I ordered some flowers for my family while they were away for holiday in Spain. It did not get delivered and I got an email saying the address is not full. I asked what information was missing but no one replied me for like a week. They also had the recipient's and my phone numbers to call for directions, but never bothered as it was not a Spanish number. Only later I noticed I still got charged for it.
Emailed them again, just to get an answer saying they don't take responsibility for not delivering if the address is incorrect. Still not sure what's wrong with the address as my family managed to find it, don't see why a local driver couldn't. Do not order from this company, they don't respect their clients and customer service is horrendous.
BARCELONA -- Ordered a Christmas gift for a family friend in Madrid. I wish I had read the reviews before ordering. I spent 80 Euros and information on the order stated that item would be delivered before Christmas. Item was not delivered and I contacted customer service. I got a reply stating that they will get back to me. I have followed it up since and has not yet had any response. It's the 9th of January and I am still waiting for a reply. I will update this review if I receive any response from the company. From my experience the company standards are very poor and not reliable. I will update if the company contacts me with any credible information.
BARCELONA -- My experience with this company has been nothing less than appalling. I spent 50 euros on a bouquet of white roses and lilies and the delivered flowers were tiny, nearly dead, full of filler flowers, contained ZERO white roses, contained three small and pathetic PINK roses and a tiny quantity of lilies. I paid for a premium bouquet and got something through which was worse than something you could get for 5 euros from a supermarket. The quantity of incorrect and dead flowers was less than half what it should of been. The flowers look nothing like the photo on their website, you would laugh if you saw the comparison.
I am outraged that this company is still allowed to operate, they are a scam. I have requested to have a refund though Ania from their customer service team won't offer me more than a 30% VOUCHER for a next order! As if I or anyone else would ever use this company again after a first experience. Surely there should be some trading standards laws that apply against these people. DISGUSTING flowers and DISGUSTING customer service - stay away from this company and never buy from them.
I ordered flowers to be delivered in Romania on Friday 8/14, for delivery on Saturday 8/15. I was charged a "premium fee" for Saturday delivery, but they never arrived. An email to customer service got me a "we will look into it" reply late Saturday, but nothing after that and no delivery as of 8/18. My emails have since gone unanswered, including a request to cancel and refund the charge. It was processed on 8/17 despite there being no delivery or contact.
There is no phone number to call so you are left with an unresponsive email address and no other recourse but filing a fraud claim with the credit card issuing bank. Zero stars would be more appropriate. This is clearly a scam and should be avoided at all costs.

In the Groove debuts in-store on Thursday, July 8th, but it's been online since Tuesday morning. It's a pretty massive launch with over thirty pieces and nearly all of them new and limited edition. Personally, it feels too big–it's a little overwhelming and hard to focus on which products really stand out amongst the rest.
These are definitely some of the better formulated mineralize products that MAC has put out. I say this as someone who is, generally, not a fan of mineralize eyeshadows. I have always found them to look pretty in the pan than in practice–even using them wet never generated the look and feel I wanted out of them. The payoff on the lids is very much like what you see in a swatch–it doesn't look faded. I also noticed that these were significantly less powdery and have a creamier, buttery texture.
Video review… grab some popcorn–it's about 10 minutes longer than I wanted!
I think the pigmentation is good across the board with a couple of misses, and it's important to realize that there really aren't any bright, in-your-face kind of shades here. These are softer, subtler shades–more universally wearable–and the textures reflect that.

To compare the most severe lifetime (current or past) mood symptoms, duration of illness, and rates of lifetime comorbid disorders among youth with Bipolar (BP) spectrum disorders.
173 children with BP (<12 y.o), 101 adolescents with childhood-onset BP, and 90 adolescents with adolescent-onset BP were evaluated with standardized instruments.
Depression was the most common initial and frequent episode for both adolescent groups followed by mania/hypomania. Adolescents with childhood-onset BP had the longest illness, followed by children and then adolescents with adolescent-onset BP. Adjusting for sex, socio-economic status, and duration of illness, while manic both adolescent groups showed more "typical" and severe manic symptoms. Mood lability was more frequent in both childhood-onset groups. While depressed, both adolescent groups showed more severe depressive symptoms, higher rates of melancholic and atypical symptoms, and suicide attempts than children. Depressed children had more severe irritability than depressed adolescents. Early BP-onset was associated with ADHD whereas later BP-onset was associated with panic, conduct, and substance use disorders. Above-noted results were similar when each BP subtype was analyzed separately.
Older age was associated with more severe and typical mood symptomatology. However, there were differences and similarities in type, intensity, and frequency of BP symptoms and comorbid disorders related to age-of-onset and duration of BP and level of psychosocial development. These factors and the normal difficulties youth have expressing and modulating their emotions may explain existing complexities in diagnosing and treating BP in youth, particular in young children, and suggest the need for developmentally sensitive treatments.
Although it is accepted that children and adolescents may develop bipolar disorder (BP), there is considerable variability in the frequency of presentation of the manic symptoms across the extant studies, particularly for elation and irritability.1–7 These diverse clinical presentations between children and adolescents may be attributable, at least in part, to the psychosocial and maturational changes that occur after puberty8, 9. Furthermore, the age at which the child or adolescent first experiences symptoms of illness may also have important implications for clinical presentation with early deficits promoting later impairment as the child arrives at each progressive stage of development with inadequate resources available to meet the challenges unique to the ensuing period 10. Additionally, children and adolescents whose illness started during childhood may be more likely to be exposed to stressful life events and diverse types of treatment which may modify the phenomenology and course of their illness.
To date, few studies have compared the symptoms of mania and comorbid disorders between children and adolescents with BP, and no study has compared the BP depressive symptomatology across age groups. Faraone and colleagues 11 compared manic symptoms among a group of children with BP-I (n=68) with adolescents with early-onset (n=25) and adolescents with late-onset mania (n=17). Euphoria was more common in the adolescents with early-onset mania and irritability was least common in the adolescents with late-onset mania. Increased energy was twice as common in both groups with early-onset mania as compared with the late onset manic group. Except for higher rates of ADHD in children with BP, Geller and colleagues 12 did not find any differences in the rates of manic symptoms in a sample of children (n=53) and young adolescents (n= 40) with BP-I. Except for higher rates of substance abuse in adolescents, Findling and colleagues 3 did not find any differences in manic symptomatology or psychosis between children (N= 56) and adolescents (n=34) with BP-I. Finally, Masi and colleagues 13 reported more comorbid ADHD and ODD and a less episodic course in children (N=80) as compared to adolescents (n=56) with BP spectrum disorders. There were no differences between groups in rates of irritability, elation, or severity of illness.
The above-noted studies seem to indicate that, with few exceptions, symptoms of mania are equally manifested in children and adolescents. However, generalizability of these findings is limited because these studies have one or more of the following limitations: small samples, selection of only youth with BP-I, lack of direct interviews with children, absence of analysis of depressive symptomatology, and lack of stratification of the adolescent group by age at illness onset. In addition, none of these studies adjusted for potentially important confounding factors such as demographic factors (e.g., sex, socio-economic status), duration of illness, and presence of comorbid disorders.
The goal of this study was to replicate and extend the above-noted studies in a large sample of children and adolescents with BP spectrum disorders recruited into the Course and Outcome of Bipolar Youth (COBY) multicenter study. In prior publications we reported the clinical picture for the entire age group focusing on the clinical differences between BP-I, BP-II and BP-Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) 5 and psychosis 14 Also, a prior COBY report showed that after adjusting for significant demographic and clinical factors, BP children and adolescents with childhood-onset BP had higher rates of psychopathology in their 1st and 2nd degree biological relatives as compared to adolescents with adolescent-onset BP (≥ 12 y.o) 15. The present study compares the most severe lifetime (current or past) manic and depressive symptoms, other clinical variables, and rates of comorbid disorders among BP youth.
A complete description of the methodology used in COBY was reported in detail elsewhere. 5, 16
Briefly, after Institutional Review Board approval and after obtaining appropriate consent or assent, children and adolescents fulfilling DSM-IV criteria for BP-I, BP-II, or COBY's criteria for bipolar disorder Not-Otherwise-Specified (NOS)5 were enrolled at Brown University, University of California Los Angeles, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
About 70% of the sample was recruited from outpatient clinics and the rest through advertisement and inpatient units. Subjects with current or lifetime DSM-IV diagnoses of schizophrenia, mental retardation, severe autistic spectrum disorders or mood disorders due to substance abuse, a medical condition, or secondary to use of medications were excluded.
In order to evaluate the differential clinical picture between children and adolescents with BP, the sample was divided in 3 subgroups according to onset of significant mood symptomatology and the age at the time of the initial assessment as follows: 1) Children with BP (<12 y.o) (n=173); 2) adolescents with childhood-onset BP (age ≥ 12 and BP onset <12) (n=101); and 3) adolescents with adolescent-onset BP (age ≥ 12 and BP onset ≥ 12) (n= 90). Age of BP-onset was defined as the age of onset of clinically significant manic, hypomanic, and/or depressive symptoms that affected the child's functioning.5 Illness duration was defined as the subject's current age minus the age of BP onset. In about 6% (22/364) of cases, parents reported that their children's mood symptoms (mania, hypomania, and/or depression) appeared ≤ 4 years old. However, given the controversies diagnosing BP in very young children, the minimum age of onset for BP-spectrum illness was arbitrarily set at age 4.5
Since the DSM definition of BP-NOS is not operationalized, BP-NOS was defined as elated mood plus two associated DSM symptoms or irritable mood plus three associated DSM symptoms and a change in functioning. In addition, the above-noted symptoms were required to last a minimum of 4 hours within a 24-hour period and to have occurred at least 4 cumulative lifetime days. Prior papers using the COBY sample showed that children with BP-NOS have similar but less severe clinical picture, comorbid disorders, family history, and longitudinal outcome than the BP-I subjects. Moreover, about 25% of the youth diagnosed as BP-NOS converted into BP-I or BP-II. 5, 16
Children and adolescents and parents (about their children) were directly interviewed for the presence of current and lifetime non-mood psychiatric disorders using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children, Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). 17, 18. As the KSADS-PL only ascertains the presence or absence of symptoms, the K-SADS Mania Rating Scale (K-MRS) 19 and the depression section of the KSADS-P 20 were used to assess the severity of each mood symptom in detail (see Table 2 and and33 for the symptoms included in these scales). Mood symptoms that were in common with other psychiatric disorders (e.g., distractibility) were not rated as present unless they intensified with the onset of abnormal mood. Lifetime comorbid diagnoses were not assigned if they occurred exclusively during a mood episode.
A current mood episode was defined as the worst week of the month prior to intake. Past mood episodes were identified using a mood time line with the child and parents and asking them which of these episodes (mania and/or depression) was the most severe. Duration of the episode, level of impairment, and/or hospitalization were some of the factors considered when determining which past mood episode was the worst. Manic and depressive symptoms with the higher scores of either the current or past mood episode as rated in the MRS and depression section of the KSADS-P were selected for the analyses in this paper. We chose to evaluate the most severe lifetime manic and depressive symptoms in order to capture the illness when manifested at its full expression and not when only mild to moderate symptoms were present. Moreover, this strategy increased the likelihood that parents and children would be better able to remember specific mood symptomatology.
The Petersen Pubertal Developmental Scale (PDS) was used to evaluate pubertal stage 21 and the Hollingshead scale 22 was used to evaluate socio-economic-status (SES).
All assessments were completed by research staff trained to reliably administer the above-noted interviews and presented to child psychiatrists/psychologists who confirmed the diagnoses. The overall KSADS kappas for psychiatric disorders were ≥ 0.8. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for the K-MRS and the K-DEP total scores were ≥ 0.95.
Differences in demographics and clinical symptomatology among the three BP groups were analyzed using standard parametric (e.g., ANOVA) and non-parametric univariate tests (e.g., Kruskal-Wallis) when appropriate.
Generalized Linear Modeling (GLM) was used to evaluate the effects of group, and any significant between group differences in demographics, duration of illness, and other clinical variables.
Age and pubertal status were highly correlated in the three age-of-onset BP groups (rs ≥ .73, ps<0.001), therefore analyses included age only.
Analyses examining continuous and categorical data from the K-MRS and K-SADS depression items yielded similar results. Also, results were similar when each BP subtype was analyzed separately. Thus, for simplicity, only the results using continuous data and the combined BP data are included in this paper.
To inform new hypotheses and guide future studies the data is presented with (indicated in the tables with a symbol (†) and without Bonferroni corrections. Furthermore, to have an idea of the statistical strength of the comparisons, size effects (d) were calculated as described by Cohen23 and included in all tables.
All values are reported as means ± standard deviations. All p-values are based on two-tailed tests with α = 0.05.
As expected, the three groups significantly differed in age and pubertal status. Children with BP included significantly more boys than the other two groups and the SES of both childhood-onset groups was significantly lower than the adolescents with adolescent-onset BP. Adolescents with childhood-onset BP had the longest duration of illness, followed by children and then adolescents with adolescent-onset BP. The onset of significant mood symptomatology preceded the onset of episodes an average of 1.0 ± 1.7 years. Children experienced their first mood episode at an earlier age followed by adolescents with childhood-onset and adolescents with adolescent-onset BP. Adolescents with childhood-onset BP had significantly more at least one depressive episode than the adolescents with adolescents-onset BP followed by the children. However, differences between the two adolescent groups disappeared when adjusting for duration of illness. Both adolescents groups were more likely to have a major depressive episode as their first BP episode and both childhood-onset groups more commonly presented with initial symptoms meeting COBY's criteria for BP-NOS than adolescents with adolescent-onset BP.
Given the above results, all following analyses were adjusted for sex, SES, duration of illness, and rates of comorbid disorders (see results below).
Adjusting for confounding factors, both adolescent groups showed significantly higher K-MRS-13-item total manic scores and more severe grandiosity, racing thoughts, poor judgment, and increased productivity as compared to children. Adolescents with adolescent-onset BP had more severe elation, goal directed activity, racing thoughts, and high energy than both children and adolescents with childhood-onset BP and more decreased need for sleep, accelerated speech, delusions and sharpened thinking compared to children. Finally, both childhood-onset groups had significantly more severe mood lability as compared to adolescents with adolescent-onset BP.
Adjusting for confounding variables both adolescent groups had significantly higher K-Depression-12-item total scores and more severe hopelessness, anhedonia, fatigue, difficult concentration, psychomotor retardation, circadian reversal, non-restorative sleep, daytime sleep, hypersomnia, weight lost, leaden paralysis, and medical lethality of suicidal attempts as compared to children. In addition, adolescents with adolescent-onset BP showed more severe depressed mood, excessive guilt, social withdrawal, decreased appetite, rejection sensitivity, suicidal ideation, and seriousness of suicidal attempts as compared with children and more terminal insomnia than both childhood-onset groups. Adolescents with childhood-onset BP also exhibited significantly more negative self-image and recurrent thoughts of death than the adolescents with adolescent-onset BP and children. Finally, children had more severe irritability/anger than the adolescents with adolescent-onset BP.
Adjusting for any confounding factors, both adolescent groups had higher prevalence of lifetime conduct and substance use disorders than children. Also, adolescents with adolescent-onset BP had more substance abuse than adolescents with childhood-onset BP and more panic disorder than children. Both childhood-onset groups had more lifetime ADHD than did the adolescents with adolescent-onset BP.
In this large sample of youth with BP spectrum disorders, both adolescent groups had their first episodes meeting criteria for major depression, and were more likely to have a lifetime history of a major depressive episode. In contrast, younger children were more likely to have had subsyndromal manic/hypomanic symptoms as their first episode. After adjusting for sex, SES, and duration of illness, more "typical" and severe symptomatology was observed in both adolescent groups while manic, especially those with adolescent-onset BP. In contrast, mood lability was more frequent in children and adolescents with childhood-onset BP than adolescents with adolescent-onset BP. While depressed, also both adolescent groups showed more severe depressive symptoms and higher rates of melancholic, atypical depressive symptoms, and suicide attempts than children with BP. Irritability was the only symptom that was moderately higher in depressed children when compared with adolescents with adolescent-onset BP.
As expected, earlier-onset of BP was most commonly associated with lifetime comorbid ADHD. In contrast, older age was associated with higher rates of lifetime panic, conduct, and substance use disorders.
Before discussing the above-noted results it is important to note the limitations of this study. First, recollection bias may have influenced the reported rate of symptoms. However, to minimize this problem this study focused on the worst lifetime (present or past) manic and depressive symptoms. Second, the frequency and quality of the symptoms may change from one episode to the next and may vary with the reporter (child vs. parent) 24. Future papers using prospective longitudinal data will address the two above-noted issues. Third, the base rates of some symptoms (e.g., lifetime delusions) were low. Fourth, the data analyzed for this report included only the worst lifetime (current or past) symptoms. These symptoms did not necessarily represent the mood symptomatology experienced by the child during her/his first mood episodes. Fifth, as depicted in tables 2 and and3,3, some symptoms, although significantly different, showed low effect sizes. Nevertheless, even if these symptoms are not taken into account or after adjusting for multiple comparisons, the main story of this paper holds: older age was associated with more typical and severe manic and depressive symptoms. Sixth, lifetime comorbid disorders were not necessarily present during the same time period as the worst mood symptoms. Nevertheless, after adjusting for duration of illness, the types and rates of comorbid disorders follow the expected developmental trajectory (e.g., more ADHD in childhood-onset BP and more SUD in adolescents). Finally, since most subjects included in this study were recruited from outpatient clinics and were Caucasian, the results of this study may not apply to other populations.
It appears that mood lability, as defined in this study by the K-MRS19 ("rapid mood variation with several mood states within a brief period of time which appears internally driven without regard to the circumstances") and to a lesser degree irritability/anger, are more characteristic of childhood-onset rather than adolescent-onset mania even when adjusting for potential confounding factors such as comorbid disorders. Mood "swings" or lability is often described by parents of children with BP and has been reported in other cross-sectional and longitudinal prospective pediatric BP studies 16,2–5, 13. However, it is important to note that these mood changes are not equivalent to the DSM "rapid cycling" classification and that not every child with severe mood lability, especially if the symptoms are not episodic, has BP. 4, 6, 7, 9, 25
In contrast with prior reports 11, 26, 27, this study found that DSM manic symptoms were more severe in adolescents, particularly in those with adolescent-onset BP, than in children with BP. The reasons for this discrepancy are unclear, but it may be accounted for by methodological differences such as sample size, subject age, instruments used to ascertain symptoms, diagnostic criteria and thresholds used to classify a symptom as positive and counting symptoms that overlap between disorders as positive for two or more disorders without taking into account the overall clinical picture of the child. It is also possible that early-onset BP has a different trajectory than adolescent-onset BP which appears to be more similar to adult BP. Ongoing prospective follow-up of this early-onset group potentially will answer this question.
Speculatively, the greater prominence of cognitive elements of mania such as grandiosity may simply reflect the more advanced cognitive operations that are normatively associated with adolescent development. Also, differentiating abnormal grandiosity from normal fantasy is less difficult in adolescents that in younger children 7. The presence of these symptoms and the increased ability of an adolescent to express his or her affective state as compared to a younger child may explain, at least in part, why it is easier and more acceptable to diagnose BP in adolescents than in children. However, it remains for future more refined neuropsychological research on prospectively observed samples to determine if very early onset of illness compromises the acquisition of more complex cognitive structures which in turn impact on the phenomenology of BP.
Both the duration of illness and the transition into adolescence affected the rates and severity of depressive symptoms with both adolescent groups having their first episode as major depression, higher rates of lifetime major depressive episodes and more melancholic and atypical depressive symptomatology and suicidality when compared to children. In contrast, children showed less severe depressive symptomatology and more irritability. Thus, similar to the unipolar depression literature, the expression of major depression seems to be related to developmental pubertal changes and early age of onset 28–32. There is only one other study that carried out a post-hoc analysis of the symptoms of BP depression in a sample of youth with BP depression and ADHD compared to youth with unipolar depression and ADHD. 33 This study reported higher familial loading for mood disorders and more severe symptomatology, suicide behaviors, anxiety, and conduct disorders in the depressed BP/ADHD youth.
The rates of lifetime comorbid disorders reported in this study are consistent with developmental correlates of psychopathological disorder with childhood-onset BP having higher rates of ADHD and adolescents showing higher rates of substance abuse, and conduct disorders than children. Also, comparable to other pediatric and adult studies of BP anxiety disorders were common across groups, with panic disorder being found most frequently in adolescents 34–36. Interestingly, the rate of comorbid disorders in this study tended to be lower than those reported in some studies.4 This may be due to fact that in COBY, a comorbid diagnosis was not assigned if overlapping symptoms presented only during a mood disorder episode.
This and other studies have reported that early-onset BP has a somewhat different phenotype, higher familial load for mood disorders, and a different picture of comorbid disorders. 7, 9, 26, 37–39 These findings have suggested that early age of onset may carry a different genotype for BP that differentially influences disease phenotype, course, patterns of comorbidity, and functional outcome. However, we cannot determine from this analysis whether the differences found between child and adolescent age of onset subgroups are an independent effect of age when illness begins, or affected by susceptibility genes that confer early age of onset. However, interestingly, studies of adult BP have noted heterogeneity of linkage associated with psychotic features and anxiety 40, as well as familiality of a range of phenotypic characteristics in families with BP 41. Whatever the reason for these differences, it will be crucial for ongoing molecular, genetic, neuroimaging, and treatment studies to take into account the age of BP onset, maturational effects, as well as the presence of comorbid disorders and differential exposure to stress to fully explicate research findings.
In summary, older age was associated with more severe and typical mood symptomatology. However, there are differences and similarities in the type, intensity, and frequency of BP symptoms as well as comorbid disorders in youth depending, at least in part, on the age of onset and duration of their BP and their level of psychosocial development. These factors together with the normal difficulties children have expressing and modulating their emotions may explain the existing complexities in diagnosing and treating BP in this population and suggest the need for developmentally sensitive pharmacological and psychosocial treatments.
The presence of comorbid disorders and sometimes their respective treatments may further complicate the identification and treatment of BP and be associated with worse prognosis 42, 43. Thus, it is critical that these disorders are identified and differentiated from the symptoms of BP, and if appropriate, promptly treated. For example, clinicians should be aware of the possibility that an adolescent with childhood-onset BP may also have ADHD since some symptoms of ADHD tend to improve with age (e.g., hyperactivity). Furthermore, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are efficacious for the treatment of anxiety disorders in youth, but they may induce mood destabilization in youth with BP.
Clinicians should be aware that BP, particularly in adolescents, often initially presents with an episode of major depression posing an important clinical dilemma since the treatment of these youth with antidepressants may worsen their clinical outcome. In these cases the presence of psychosis, pharmacologically induced mania/hypomania, and high familial loading for BP may indicate increased risk to develop BP 44–46. Finally, after puberty the frequency and severity of depression as well as potentially lethal suicide behaviors and substance abuse become more common, indicating the need for early identification and treatment of this disorder to avoid its serious consequences.

I have used this recipe many times (minus the icing) from a southern junior league cookbook. It is fantastic! Everyone loves it, and it is easy. The other great thing is the ability to make so many variations, like use vanilla in place of the almond extract, and mix 3T brn sugar, 2T cinnamon, and 1 cup chop.pecans, and use this mixture for the preserve layers. I have also tried adding bananas to the mix, or a lemon and rasberry variation. Try it!
What an amazing recipe!! My family demands that I make it once a week!! Thanks.

The clip finding dupree's car from Smokin' Aces (2006) This is the first I'm hearing of it. Have you contacted Agent Carruthers? Yeah, cell reception up here is terrible, but until you or I speak with him, he's the SAC and he's the guy I answer to... As to the identity of the two bodies... Look, in less than an hour, you're gonna have 40 to 50-odd field agents arriving in Lake Tahoe without the slightest clue as to why. We are instructed to take Israel into protective custody. That's a two-man operation. What you're describing now is a much larger movement. Messner? Listen. Hold it. I need to speak with Locke. Get him on the phone. If the situation's changed, I need to hear it from him. You Messner? Yeah. Who's this? Take a look at that. Hollis Elmore. Vegas resident. Used to be with the PD down there. Agent Messner, we recovered the car. What car? Dupree's car. '89 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Where did you find it? Parking structure at the Nomad. Are the overheads necessary? Turn the overheads off! Now! Not exactly low profile, is this? No, sir. Hotel locked down at all? I couldn't tell you that right now, sir. Hugo, what the fuck is wrong with you, man?

Great recipe for both people on and and not on a budget! Good food is good food whether you're broke or not! And I loved the story that came with it. Thanks for posting.
Excellent cold-weather comfort food.
This was really good and the beef turned out very tender (I used a cheap roast that I bought on sale). It's hard to believe that the sauce is mostly tomato soup, it was very tasty. (I did use the Vermouth and it definitely adds flavor).
I would give this 5 stars for the comments alone! Love your writing style, TBG! Now to get to the review ..... I made this recipe exactly as posted (including the vermouth) because I had everything on hand. I let this simmer for 3 hours (because DH wanted to finish watching the Packer game) and the meat was "cut-it-with-your-fork" as titled. Served this with steamed rice (to soak up the tasty sauce) and cauliflower casserole. This one goes in my "keeper" book. Thanks, TBG!!

|The Last of Us
|Players: 1
|Genre: Thriller | Survival Horror
|Platform: PS3
|Developer: Naughty Dog
The story of The Last of Us is not something we have not heard before, outbreak of something unexpected causes humans to become feral and attack other humans, if bitten they also become "infected" and change into the same thing that got them and the cycle is repeated. Now the first thought would be zombies but Naughty Dog have made it very clear the game is not another zombie game and the enemies within are not the undead horde. This game takes a very different direction to the post-apocalyptic games we have seen in abundance recently.
You play as Joel, a tired and rough around the edges man, who does the odd jobs around the quarantine zone to keep on living. He has seen the world both before and after the outbreak and along with the hardships of his past has done what he has had to, to survive. This has in turn made him emotionally closed off, practical and blunt.
The infected are everywhere to be seen and heard, they have taken over the deserted ruins of the previous world. They are the human who have been consumed by a parasitic virus that causes them to sprout gruesome fungus and turn them into feral beings with no human remorse. As with most post-apocalyptic worlds they are not the only threat and sometimes not the most dangerous, humans that use the chaos and terror roam the wastelands as bandits and kill those they come across to take their supplies and camps. Even with this amount of devastation and madness Joel and Ellie do still have a few allies they can rely on but most strangers are seen as enemies; its kill or be killed.
Joel has seen many battles and can handle himself quite well in a fight but he is not immortal. Combat is something you will probably try to avoid most of the time unless you have a massive excess of ammo and resources and the number of enemies is not too high but these situations are rare. Combat is something that you have to always have to adapt to whether it is sneaking around taking enemies out quickly and quietly, attacking head on or even fleeing past the fights all together. Sometimes strategies you take might work in one situation but they surely won't work all the time keeping the fights fresh and different but also makes them very challenging at time. Personally the difficult battles and my countless death were some of the best parts of the game. Being able to see where you went wrong and trying different tactics gave the game depth and made it frustratingly fun. Some will find this too much and might quit out of frustration and even on normal it is quite challenging.
Fighting is very dark and downright brutal; you feel every punch and see the force in every swing of Joel's weapon as he smashes the head of an infected or bandit. However the violence never feels good or enjoyable but does play a massive part in the culture and attitude of The Last of Us world. You must do what it takes to survive even when it's Joel grabbing someone round the head and smashing them head-first into the corner of a wall. Every fight feels like it's to the death but something that was never chosen out of excitement or choice.
Different infected require different tactics and they require a completely different strategies overall to humans. They are quicker, relentless and unpredictable which makes them a serious threat and some infected like the Clickers have an annoying attack which is mostly unstoppable and will kill in one hit if you do not have the right tools. This can be overly frustrating as resources are limited and Clickers are plenty, meaning you can find yourself reloading the checkpoint over and over again to try and get past this over powered mini cut scene mishap.

VIDEO: Deadly Utah Police Raid
Newly released dash-cam video shows the chaotic scene during a task force raid in January that resulted in the death of an Ogden (Utah) Police officer and the wounding of five other officers.
The dash-cam video, which was obtained by the Standard-Examiner, shows officers arriving at the home of Matthew Stewart, 37, for the Jan. 4 drug raid. Officers arrived at 8:42 p.m.
The footage shows officers arriving at the scene and being warned by a dispatcher that "shots are being fired in the area." Ten shots can be heard at 8:44 p.m.
Officers emerge from the darkness and one can be heard saying, "Let me get my vest." A barrage of more that 20 shots then sound out in rapid succession. Four minutes later, officers can be seen carrying someone across the street.
In another video, officers load wounded officer Michael Rounkles into the back seat of a patrol vehicle and then rush him to a local hospital.
Stewart, who was wounded in the shootout, is accused of killing Ogden PD's Officer Jared Francom and injuring five others during the Weber-Morgan Narcotics Strike Force knock-and-announce raid.

Hard Inquiry on TU today!
I thought I was over this mess, but it looks like a few bottom feeders are still out there!
Got an alert today there was a new hard inquiry on my TU from Wein, Welman & Reis. After researching them, it appears they buy OLD OLD OLD junk debt. I have NOT received a call from them, and have NOT seen a dunning letter.
Should I DV them now, or wait to see if I get a letter? Any options for getting the hard inquiry removed?
I used to know these answers, but got a bit rusty after getting everything cleaned up and "gardening" my new accounts. Just used to wait around for letters, but it is amazing how protective I am of my CR now that I got out of that black hole I created years ago!
Re: Hard Inquiry on TU today!
They should not have done a HP IMO. If they are not on your CR it should have been a SP.
I would tell the CRAs you DO NOT have a business relationship with them and since they are not on your CR they should have done a SP.

+1 and I would send the DV now, the HP of your CR would be considered a first contact. Any DV sent now would be considred timely. Also, you should receive a dunning notice from them within 5 days.

Re: Hard Inquiry on TU today!
I presume, with all the names in their title, that they are also a law firm?
If so, it is difficult to say at this point whether they are acting as legal counsel for the creditor, or as their debt collector.
If, as your research appears to show, they have a primary business of collection of debt, they would become a debt collector.
The issue of whether or not their inquiry was a communication is not determinative of whether you can DV them, as any DV is timely until they have sent dunning notice and the 30 day period set therein has expired. So I would send a DV, and if they are in fact acting as a debt collector, they must cease any collection activities until they have provided verification. If they are not asserting to be a debt collector, as absence of dunning notice might imply, the DV would be moot.
Send a DV and get a collection bar in the event they do assert to be a debt collector.
As for challenging their inquiry, the issue is whether they have a permissible purpose. If authorized legal counsel, I would presume they have the full authority to act on behalf of their client, who does have permissible purpose. If a debt collector, they have their own express permissible purpose.
The FCRA does not regulate coding of hard vs soft inquiries other than inquiries for which you have not initiated a request for credit or insurance...so-called promotional inquiries. Tough to pursue coding disputes when they otherwise have a permissible purpose.
Re: Hard Inquiry on TU today!
Any advice on how to/what type of wording to include in a DV that would also address them (hopefully) removing the HP?
Re: Hard Inquiry on TU today!
I would not include anyting regarding the inquiry in your DV. It is unrelated, and might result in their interpretation of your DV as a dispute.
Re: Hard Inquiry on TU today!
+1 Don't include any wording that might be taken as a dispute.
They may be a law firm, they may not. I've seen many CAs with their names manipulated to sound like they are law firms or they are some type of authority.
