My recovery from manic depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle. - Patty Duke
What is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder sometimes called manic-depressive illness or manic-depression, that characteristically involves cycles of depression and elation or mania. The moods can shift from high to low rapidly, or over the course of days or weeks with intervals of "normal" moods in between. These cycles are much more severe than the mood swings that everyone goes through.
Bipolar disorder often develops in the late teen or early adult years. It may be difficult to detect the onset of bipolar disorder, as the symptoms may appear to be separate problems, not pieces of a larger problem. Many people with bipolar disorder suffer for years before they are properly diagnosed.
Those with bipolar disorder experience distinct and intense emotional states called "mood episodes." Mania is an overly joyful or excited mood, whereas a sad, hopeless state is a depressive episode. Sometimes, a mood episode contains symptoms of both mania and depression, which is called a "mixed state."
These mood episodes bring extreme changes in energy, activity, sleep and behavior. The signs and symptoms of depressive and manic states are described in further detail below.
What Are The Signs of a Depressive State?
While the following symptoms are not all experienced by each individual with bipolar disorder, these are the most common signs of a depressed state in an individual with bipolar disorder:
- Sadness and anxiety
- Loss of energy
- Feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or worthlessness
- Loss of interest or enjoyment from things that were once pleasurable
- Difficulty concentrating
- Uncontrollable crying
- Difficulty making decisions
- Increased need for sleep
- Insomnia
- Change in appetite causing weight loss or gain
- Thoughts of death or suicide
- Attempting suicide
What Are The Signs of Mania?
As with any illness, the symptoms a person may experience can vary dramatically. Here are some of the more common examples of manic behavior for those who have bipolar disorder:
- Excessive happiness, hopefulness, and excitement
- Sudden changes from being joyful to being irritable, angry, and hostile
- Restlessness, increased energy, and less need for sleep
- Rapid talk, talkativeness
- Distractibility
- Racing thoughts
- High sex drive
- Tendency to make grand and unattainable plans
- Tendency to show poor judgment, such as deciding to quit a job
- Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity -- unrealistic beliefs in one's ability, intelligence, and powers; may be delusional
- Increased reckless behaviors (such as lavish spending sprees, impulsive sexual indiscretions, abuse of alcohol or drugs, or ill-advised business decisions)
What is Hypomania?
Hypomania is a mild-to-moderate level of mania, which includes symptoms similar to the signs of mania as listed above, but tend to be less extreme. Those with bipolar disorder with hypomanic features may be misdiagnosed, as those with hypomania may attribute their elevated mood with happiness.
Hypomanic episodes may include the following symptoms:
- Periods of time with an especially energetic mood.
- Feeling more self-confident than normal.
- Being very talkative or speaking faster than usual.
- Feeling hyper.
- Having a hard time concentrating.
- Being more irritable or angry.
- Needing less sleep than normal.
- Having more interest in sex.
- Uncharacteristic spending sprees.
Types of Bipolar Disorder:
Bipolar I Disorder:
Defined primarily by manic or mixed episodes that last at least seven days or by manic symptoms so severe they require immediate hospitalization. Generally, someone with Bipolar I also has depressive episodes lasting two or more weeks. The symptoms of depression and the symptoms of mania must be a major change in normal behavior.
Bipolar II Disorder:
Bipolar II Disorder is a mood disorder characterized by one or more periods of depression and at least one episode of hypomania, which is a milder high than the mania experienced with Bipolar Disorder.
Because they're milder, hypomanic episodes can often go unrecognized and as a result Bipolar II Disorder is often misdiagnosed as depression. Several studies have found that the risk of suicide is higher for those with Bipolar II than Bipolar I Disorder, likely because it's often not diagnosed and therefore not treated properly.
Bipolar Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (NOS)
Bipolar Disorder may not always follow a particular pattern. It can include reoccurring hypomanic episodes without any signs of depression or rapid swings between mania and depression. In these cases it's called Bipolar Disorder: Not Otherwise Specified (NOS).
Cyclothymic Disorder - mild form of bipolar disorder, in which two episodes of hypomania alternate with episodes of mild depression for at least two years. The symptoms of a person with Cyclothymic Disorder do not meet the diagnostic criteria for other types of bipolar disorder.
Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder - four episodes of major depression, mania, hypomania or mixed symptoms within a year. Some people with Rapid-Cycling Bipolar Disorder have one or more episodes a week or even a day. This seems to be a more common form of bipolar disorder in those who have severe bipolar disorder and may be more common in those who were diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a young age.
How Often Do People With Bipolar Disorder "Cycle?"
Some people can cycle from depressed to manic in a matter of hours but for most, the cycle is a few weeks apart. Every patient is different and the cycles and signs/symptoms manifest in different ways.
What Causes Bipolar Disorder?
Doctors aren't entirely positive what causes bipolar disorder. We do know that bipolar disorder often runs in families - children with a parent or sibling with bipolar disorder are 4-6 times more likely to develop bipolar disorder. There's growing evidence that environmental and lifestyle choices may also have an effect on bipolar disorder.
How Is Bipolar Disorder Diagnosed?
The best way to be properly diagnosed with bipolar disorder is through talking with a doctor or psychiatrist, who will perform a screening and full work-up to determine a diagnosis. Keeping track of patterns in mood and overall mood are the most critical diagnostic tools. Those who have bipolar disorder are more likely to seek treatment during a depressive state rather than a manic state. It's critical that a full medical history is sought before being diagnosed as simply "depressed."
How Is Bipolar Disorder Treated?
Once a diagnosis of bipolar disorder has been made, a treatment plan will be formed. Generally treatment for bipolar disorder involves medication (typically a "cocktail" of medications of various types) and talk therapy will typically help bring some sense of normalcy. Learning coping mechanisms is invaluable.
Proper treatment of bipolar disorder is imperative for those who struggle with bipolar disorder, as it can help control mood swings and other symptoms.
Bipolar disorder is a life-long illness, so treatment will be long-term to manage and control symptoms of the disorder.
Medications to Treat Bipolar Disorder:
Many people with bipolar disorder have to try a number of medications before a combination is found that controls the symptoms. These may include:
- Mood-Stabilizers are generally the first choice of medications to treat bipolar disorder. These may be continued for years.
- Atypical Antipsychotic Medications are occasionally used to treat some of the symptoms of bipolar disorder and often combined with other medications.
- Antidepressants are often utilized to treat the symptoms of depression, and are often combined with mood stabilizers.
Living With Bipolar Disorder:
Like liver disease or diabetes, Bipolar Disorder is a chronic condition. With the help of loved ones and proper treatment, those who have Bipolar Disorder can live healthy, happy and rewarding lives.
Read more about coping with bipolar disorder.
Here are some tips for living with bipolar disorder:
The first and most important thing a person with bipolar can do for him or herself is to learn to make healthy choices to minimize the symptoms and take control of your life.
Healthy choices begin with medication and proper supervision by a therapist.
With proper symptom management, you will learn to hope again, you will learn to feel good and well, and that you're able to cope with the high highs and low lows of bipolar disorder.
Become an advocate for yourself - no one knows you like, well, you. So advocate for proper treatment and take an active role in your treatment. Don't be afraid to tell your therapist and treatment team if something isn't working for you. Speak up. Ask questions. Advocate, advocate, advocate.
Learn everything you can about bipolar disorder and examine how bipolar disorder affects you. This is a major component of treating bipolar disorder.
Be patient - while you're ready to feel normal again, patience is key. Often finding a proper treatment, or finding a treatment that works for YOU, takes patience, time and energy. It's okay to be frustrated by this, but frustration isn't a reason to stop treatment.
Follow your medication regime as it was prescribed to you. Don't stop taking it without first talking to your doctor about your decision.
Therapy is your BFF. While medication can even out mood and manage the symptoms of bipolar disorder, therapy can help teach you proper coping techniques.
Keep tabs on your moods and your feelings. You may find it helpful to keep a "mood diary" to watch for patterns. It's vital to watch your moods as they swing and learn about the things that trigger a manic or a depressive episode. Common triggers include:
- Stress
- Financial problems
- Changing of the seasons
- Fighting with a loved one
- Lack of sleep
Turn to friends and family for support. It may be hard and shameful to admit that you have a mental illness, but the support and comfort offered by friends can make a world of difference.
Find and attend a support group for people who have bipolar disorder. Not only are these groups excellent for meeting others who have the same disorder, you can also compare coping strategies.
Build new relationships and friendships - try community activities, emailing old friends, going out for coffee with a loved one. Social isolation and loneliness can make the mood swings of bipolar disorder worse.
Build a structure into your life. Developing and following a routine (making sure it includes eating, sleeping, exercise, work, relaxing, and hanging out with friends) can really provide stability in your life.
Make sure to go to bed at the same time each night - lack of sleep can lead to mania and it's healthy for your body to get the proper amount of sleep it needs to function.
Cut off any excess stress in your life. Stress can trigger both mania and depression in those with bipolar disorder, and chances are, there's a way to minimize some of the stress as well as developing some effective coping mechanisms for the unavoidable stresses.
Don't self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. Many of legal AND illegal drugs can trigger episodes of mania and depression.
My Loved One Has Bipolar Disorder:
Even though only 3% of the population is diagnosed as bipolar, chances are you will know someone who is. The best way to handle this is to realize that they simply have brain chemicals that aren't exactly lined up right.
As long as they are not harmful to themselves or others, simply treat these people as you would any other person. However, the highs and lows can be difficult for those who are in daily contact with the person. There are support groups and books that will be of help finding coping skills for partners of Bipolar patients. A good therapist for caregivers is never a bad thing.
It's vital to support your bipolar loved one as he or she goes through treatment.
Be understanding - no one was born wanting to be bipolar. If your loved one is undergoing treatment, be patient and understanding as he or she adjusts to new medications.
It's no one's fault that your loved one has bipolar disorder.
Encourage your loved one to seek professional help. Bipolar disorder is much more manageable for those who seek - and stick with - treatment.
Accept his or her limits - episodes of mania and depression are not something that your bipolar loved one can simply control or snap out of.
Accept your own limits, too. You can't make someone who has bipolar disorder go to treatment - recovery is in the hands of your loved one.
Find - and attend - a support group for people with bipolar disorder. Go with your loved one and ask questions.
Learn all that you can about bipolar disorder - it may explain a lot of those behaviors your loved one copes with.

Getting through the lean period
Distribution of cash grants in Central-Western Yemen
Food insecurity has been a chronic issue in Yemen, and ACTED is working to provide some support to the most vulnerable households by starting cash transfer activities in the rural areas of Ad-Dhalee governorate. These are especially important as the lean summer months loom ahead.
In May, ACTED selected a group of 17 villages, with approximately 1,800 families, in Ad-Dhalee governorate, in central-western Yemen to initiate cash grant distributions to vulnerable families. Many of them, relying on farming and agricultural labour as their main sources of income, struggle to get through the lean period that runs from June to October – from the planting season until crops have reached maturity.
The Social Welfare Fund (SWF), Yemen's main social assistance institution, has registered 3,000 vulnerable households entitled to state support in Al-Husha district. However, due to the ongoing economic and political crises, many have not received any support in months. Security issues have also held back the World Food Programme's planned food distributions in Ad-Dhalee governorate.
Helping beneficiaries through the toughest period
ACTED plans to provide grants of 200 USD to the most vulnerable families, distributed in two installments, in order to cover the whole duration of the lean period. For its first two distributions, mid-May, ACTED targeted two villages, which number 501 families, registered on the SWF state-support beneficiary lists. During the distributions, 141 vulnerable households received a first installment of 56 USD.
The close collaboration between ACTED's team and the local community leader, notably in the beneficiary selection, helped the organization reach out rapidly to very vulnerable households who had not received any other financial support for several months, including disabled people, old men and women, and women heads of households : Musleh's family, a 37 year-old widow with six children, has been deeply affected by the crisis, notably the increase in the price of staple food, and has subsisted mainly on tea, bread and rice. The grant provided by ACTED should enable her to provide a more diversified diet to her family in the coming months. The project is supported by the American Office for Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA).

I enjoyed your blog. Lots of great makeup inspiration :]

xoxoyana asked: What do you think about Elf Cosmetics?? Are they quality??
I like e.l.f Cosmetics, but I think you definitely get what you pay for at times. I do think it's great that they are so affordable, you can try things out and if they don't work out it doesn't seems as bad because you didn't waste much money :]
There are things that I purchase from e.l.f. consistently. I use their eyeliners, both liquid and gel. I also purchase their makeup wipes and setting spray.
I'm pretty particular about my brushes, I have purchased some from e.l.f., but they've all shed like crazy and some have actually fallen apart and I'm not rough on my brushes.
My general philosophy is that you should invest in your tools, i.e. brushes. Better brushes are going to make even the cheapest makeup apply better.
I'd say, if there is something from e.l.f. that you want to try, go for it. It's a pretty low investment :]
Which of these do you like better?

For natural makeup…less is more.
When I want a really natural, but pretty look I go for the following:
Foundation: MAC Face & Body. I LOVE this foundation. It gives a very natural finish, but is very buildable as well. When I'm applying it I use a I use a stippling brush which will help diffuse the foundation as well.
Eye Makeup: When it comes to natural eye makeup, I stick with mascara and eye liner only.
Cheeks: I just a light blush to help bring some dimension and color to my face.
Lips: I just use a lip gloss that's very similar to my natural lip shade.
Hopefully this helps!

I got this tea at a breakfast buffet when I stayed with my favorite hotel chain a little while back. It's a little tart, which might be expected from a Cranberry Apple flavor, but it may also have a little to do with "hibiscus flowers" being the first ingredient? Hmmmm? This tea works fine in a pinch, but it's not at all one that I would purchase. This teabag will give you one solid steeping and anything beyond that quickly loses flavor.

1. | iron-male | ||
A play on chemistry and words which can be taken as a English language proof the superiority of all people who belong to the female gender, including those that are young, old, healthy, sick, disabled, straight, bi, lesbian, and transgender; here's a hint. "Fe"male. If you don't get this definition you're likely just another stupid ordinary male. But besides that, if you really didn't get the joke, read the example below; it should help you get it. Joey: Hey, Sarah, what's the chemical equation for ethanol?
Sarah: Joey, it's C2H5OH, I can't believe you didn't know that, that's the stuff that gets you drunk! You know alcohol! Joey: Oh, well shut up you stupid female!!! Sarah: You know there's a reason for the "Fe" before male in the title for my gender. Look, check your periodic table, element number 26... Joey: What are you talking (Glances at table)--fuck you, that doesn't mean shit! Sarah: I am iron-male! :P |

5. Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow
John says: Jon Anderson is the lead singer of Yes. This solo album of his made the cut over the classic Yes records of the '70s because it hangs together better on both a lyrical and musical level. As brilliant as those Yes albums are, it was always five egos fighting for attention. On Olias of Sunhillow, Jon was able to present his musical vision in a more focused and unencumbered way.
Jay says: This is basically a trippy 1970s new wave sci-fi short story about interplanetary colonization set to music. Good, prog-rock music.
4. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
John says: As you may gather from the title, Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots sounds like the indie rock version of a wacky anime feature; and that's a good thing. The album is majestic in sound and scope and envelops your brain with complex synthesizers and robotic drums and bass.
Jay says: It's a quasi-concept alt-rock album about an anime spacefarer. So, you know, nerdy. Everybody knows "Do You Realize??" from this album. Almost nobody has heard the Grammy-winning "Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)", which is a crime, because that's both about exploring Mars and an awesome instrumental.
3. Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Volume Two
John says: You can really list any Coheed and Cambria album here, as they all tell different parts of an ongoing sci-fi tale. Musically, this band is a wonderful update of classic progressive rock, with a leaner, more metallic sound.
Jay says: Coheed and Cambria are like a post-millennial reincarnation of Rush, so that's a good start. This album is actually just one part of the audio portion of the band's multimedia sci-fi project, The Amory Wars, which chronicles the life and times of the messianic savior of a mystical interplanetary empire. That's got to be worth a listen.
2. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
John says: At a time when metal was all about spandex and teased hair, Queensryche released a dystopian rock opera. This metallic masterpiece features complex, interlocking riffs and the soaring, operatic vocals of Geoff Tate.
Jay says: One of the better-structured storylines for a concept album, depicting the tale of brainwashed dissident Nikki and his inescapable fate as an amnesiac political assassin. That it's a complex prog-metal set is just icing on the cake.
1. Rush - 2112
John says: 2112 is the science-fiction rock album. From the ominous synth chords that introduce the piece to the spoken message of "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation" of The Grand Finale, it doesn't get any more rockin' or science fiction-in than 2112.
Jay says: Was there ever any doubt who would top this list?
Think we missed an all-time science fictional rock record, or just want to jam about the relative merits of the deep cuts on our list? We're layin' down tracks in the comments section.

"A regular, pulsating change of pitch used to add expression to vocal and instrumental music"
"A slight rapid fluctuation in pitch of a note"
Using vibrato on a stringed instrument is a way to mimic the human voice – it adds character and depth. There are evidently all sorts of politics surrounding it: the extent to which it should be used, how long it has been widely practised etc. I don't have the time, space or knowledge to go into it but there's a bit more detail on the debate here.
As for the practicalities, I've found it to be a lot harder to do than it sounds. And, if the countless YouTube vibrato tutorials are anything to go by, I'm not alone.
I still feel quite dependent on my left hand to hold the instrument at the neck (rather than having it safely gripped between my chin and shoulder) so I have trouble relaxing my left hand enough to roll my finger back and forth as required. Inevitably, the only way to get any better is to do regular vibrato exercises. They sound revolting but, by all accounts, work.
For me, there's also a psychological aspect to it. As I said before there's something a bit 'unEnglish' about vibrato, like pronouncing correctly a foreign word that's now widely used in English: a proper French 'r' for your Tesco croissants, the gutteral 'j' for your extra jalapeno from Dominos. Vibrato a feels a bit show-offy, "look-at-me, look at me I'm not just playing the notes, I'm doing a bit of vibraaaato". It's all very well for real musicians but for the rest of us is it not just a little bit pretentious? (The answer is of course no.) And then there's the fear that you could have a go, not quite manage it and then feel silly for trying. But that's true of more or less everything.

Voted The Best Acoustic Beatles Tribute Duo on YouTube
They will play any Beatles Songs You Want! & SPECIALIZE IN BEATLE SINGALONGS
Matt Kinzler & Ted Rosedale have been performing acoustic covers of Beatles tunes for over 4 years. Because they are acoustic- they can play very small venues, corporate events as well as large festivals. Matt and Ted have built an international following of fans who appreciate their unique approach to Beatles literature which, while remaining very true to the feeling and spirit of the originals, are not carbon copies of studio recordings.

The TuBeatles are known for their Beatle Singalongs. Because they are an acoustic duo, their music does not overpower the audience and as a result those attending the event can participate and sing along if they choose. While people know the words to the most of the songs, a booklet of words can be handed out to everyone. Without the singalong, the performance and vocal harmonies will remind you of what made the Beatles such a special group. Event planners will not be dissapointed. Ted Rosedale and Matt Kinzler usually perform two one hour sets, but can perform three 45 minutes sets if that is what is preferred. They can do any Beatle song.

The correct diagnosis is Venus Lake of the Lip
A mass disfigures the left upper lip near the corner of the mouth. This mass, which is not ulcerated and appears to lie below the lip mucosa/skin, looks as though it would feel soft, and on palpation it did. A dark blue, almost black hue is attenuated by the intervening epithelium. The color is confined to the center of the mass, most prominently just beneath the vermilion border. This lesion is a venous lake, an innocuous dilatation of surface vein(s) found on the lips and ears of aged persons.1-8 The remainder of the lip area appears healthy.
The cheek and uppermost philtrum look pinker than normal and a bit telangiectatic; these findings are consistent with solar injury. Tiny excoriations dot the anterior neck at the bottom of the photograph but are unrelated to the venous lake. The chin sports minute shaving cuts, one almost healed. Perioral skin appears normal.
Numerous Possibilities
A highly gratifying feature of physical diagnosis is the confidence that a lesion does not warrant referral or biopsy to rule out troublesome or ominous look-alikes: I did not call the dermatologist to corroborate that this was neither a nevus nor the beginning of a malignant melanoma. I did not call a dentist to exclude lip cancer or a hepatologist to confirm what I already knew—that this was not a spider angioma1 and that there was no evidence of occult cirrhosis. Nor did I call on a gastroenterologist to consider conditions whose cutaneous manifestations suggest a particular cause of GI bleeding.1
Case Discussion
Because the patient had a basal cell carcinoma on the face, one could suspect that this new lesion was of the same type. But this is the "wrong" surface for solar injury, including cancer: the up-facing lower lip is much more prone to squamous cell carcinoma. If the face and back of the neck were cross-hatched with solar elastosis or the face were full of keratoses that suggested exceptional heliodermatosis (sun-damaged skin), one might worry more, but this man's skin looks good overall. Nor is the lesional epithelium thickened or crossed by telangiectases. The lack of ulceration provides less reassurance, since early basal cell carcinoma may have an apparently unbroken skin surface.
A third group of differential diagnoses includes pigmented lip lesions such as are found in patients with Addison disease and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.3 The large and solitary nature of this mass renders such a prospect unlikely, even before one has noted that its slate-blue color differs markedly from the brown expected in those conditions. The color might lead us to consider lead poisoning (although the blue line associated with this condition runs on the gingiva9), argyria,10 or even mino-cycline pigmentation.11 However, the locale is wrong for all of those. Moreover, in these conditions, the color arises from something other than contained venous blood that is relatively static.
Perhaps the most realistic differential diagnosis is mucocele, but these lesions should not blanch with pressure, whereas venous lake does so.3 Furthermore, one can at times observe the mucoid character of the material within a mucocele and feel concomitant fluctuance on palpation.
Bedside Recognition
If the diagnosis is in doubt, the application of pressure should reduce or empty a venous lake because the contained blood is only seldom thrombosed,2 and it is not confined by small tortuous channels. The lesion can be pressed with a finger or a transparent glass slide or plastic lens. The glass slide application constitutes an old but useful technique, diascopy.

Emotional Michael Flatley opens Irish America Hall of Fame
'I'm reminded of all the tears that were shed in this spot'
An emotional Micheal Flatley shed tears yesterday as he was inducted into the Irish American Hall of Fame in County Wexford as 400 invited guests looked on, including Ireland's tourism minister Leo Varadakar.
The heritage museum and emigrant heritage center is located near New Ross and is the same place where John F. Kennedy's ancestors emigrated to America, reports the Irish Times.
The newly built center is on the quayside beside the replica famine ship 'The Dunbrody.' The center was built at a cost of $4 million.
Flatley stated: "I'm reminded of all the tears that were shed in this spot, how many mothers cried here."
Addressing his mother Eilish, who was also there along with his family, he said: "Mam, I'd be nothing without you; I'm so proud to be your son."
His own son Micheal, now four was also present for the ceremony, as well as his wife Niamh.
The Irish America Hall of Fame was created in conjunction with our sister publication Irish America Magazine. Irish America Magazine editor Patricia Harty was also at the event.
As part of the new museum visitors are given a recreated trip on board the famine ship to America. Minister Varedakar drew the name of a famine immigrant Biddie Keogh who traveled in steerage to the new world.
He drew the "three pounds and 10 shillings" ticket of Biddy Keogh and was sent below-deck to experience how those who traveled in steerage made the journey.
Others inducted into the hall of fame included President Clinton, businessmen Don Keough, Denis Kelleher, and Bill Flynn, famed doctors, humanitarian Dr.Kevin Cahill and Nobel Prize Winner Dr. James Watson, who discovered DNA, Jean Kennedy Smith, writer Mary Higgins Clark, and philanthropist Chuck Feeney
Actors created a pageant showing the hardship of the emigrant experience.
A woman wearing a shawl keened: "What's going to become of us, God only knows."
Sean Reidy, the CEO of the Dunbrody Famine Ship, stated the vessel "illustrates the passion and drive of the Irish to succeed in difficult circumstances".
Minister Varadkar said the center "will play a vital role in keeping Ireland attractive to overseas visitors."

I TRAVEL a fair amount in the course of my job I've had the opportunity to visit "Occupy" protests in several cities - mostly the one in New York City.
I go to New York City every fall for work. Every year since 9/11 I've taken the opportunity to visit the World Trade Center site to bear witness to the destruction (in the early years) and check on the rebuilding process in recent years. Those first few years were pretty heart-rending because even the buildings that remained standing, especially on the south side of the WTC still bore the massive scars and burns from that day. In the ensuing years it was frustrating to see how slowing the rebuilding process proceeded. However, my favorite place to visit has always been the small colonial era church that faces (still) the WTC site. Many of the men now considered "founding fathers" attended services at this church over two hundred years ago.
The churchyard that faces the WTC site across the street is a graveyard full of colonial-era headstones. In those early post-9/11 years it was a gripping experience to see the fence bordering the graveyard covered with mementos to those killed on 9/11. There were lots of flowers, pictures, poems, love letters to dead people, on and on. You could read hundreds of these tacked to the the graveyard fence, then turnaround 180-degrees and see the vacant and scarred WTC site across the street. It was poetic in a very spooky kind of way.
The church was used as a staging ground for the firemen working "the pile" those first few months after the attack and the interior of the landmark church had been severely damaged with the coming and going of rescue and work crews. Since then it's been fully restored and it's a sunny and beautiful little church with white and baby-blue walls. However, even after the restoration I noticed the pew benches were covered with a lot of deep scratches. That seemed odd given that the rest of the place was restored to pristine condition. A docent told me that these scratches were caused by exhausted firemen sleeping in the pews in their gear. The buckles, boots, oxygen tanks and tools had cut scratches in the pews. She said that during the restoration it was decided to let the scratches remain as a monument to those firemen.
This past year was the first year in all my visits that I noticed really significant progress at the WTC site. Construction on the new tower has reached about 50% of it's final height and the the towering glass panels look great, it's going to be a good looking site.
Zuccotti Park, the site of the original "Occupy" protest is only about 8 blocks away so after my visit to the WTC site this year I decided to walk over to Zuccotti to see the protest for myself. I spent about 2 hours there walking around and talking to protesters and people talking to the protesters and it wasn't at all what I expected.
Curious that - when you think about it, I think it's interesting how people, all of us, have such strong opinions about people we've never met and never will, about places we've never been and will never go. How is it that we develop such strong opinions about people and places we actually know so little about, not a lick of knowledge based on any direct experience.
Among the hundreds of signs at Zuccotti, I did not see one - not a single one - that anyone would consider "anti-American." I did on the other hand see many - very many - that vehemently opposed: corruption, sending American jobs overseas, bailing out soon-to-be-broke corporations but not middle class Americans, home foreclosures, the soaring cost of college education, the Supreme Court ruling that removed limits on corporate contributions to political campaigns, the amount of money spent on the military and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The center of the park was occupied mostly by younger people among the tents. They'd divided up sectors of the park for various duties: kitchen area, library area, cleaning crew area, etc. There was even an area dedicated to generating the electricity that powered other operations in the park. This power-generating section was several guys on bikes up on blocks. The back wheels of the bikes were connected to generators. They young guys peddled, the wheels turned the generators pumped out the power. Residents took turns peddling the bikes to keep the power on throughout the park.
The demographics on the outer edges was completely different. There protesters were middle-aged plus a fair number senior citizens. I talked with a lot of these older people. Among them were teachers and nurses and other union types often portrayed as riff-raff on cable-tv and talk-radio. There was a garbage man. Another I talked to was a carpenter. This older group was particularly well versed in the subjects they protested. They knew what they were talking about and wanted to tell you there stories. All around were scores of signs encouraging people to behave respectably, avoid drinking, pick up litter and so on.
I met one person - exactly one among the many hundreds at the park - who was passing out communist literature on the sidewalk across the street. She was vastly outnumbered by several hundred Iraq War veterans who marched past at one point in support of the Zuccotti protesters and in support for a protester who was a fellow veteran that had been shot in the head with a police tear-gas gun in Oakland (having survived Iraq, he's now recovering from brain damage in his home country. Life is funny that way).
Not all the Occupy protests I've seen are the same. The small San Francisco protest looked to me like a bunch of bums taking advantage of the situation to camp out on prime real estate. The NYC protest on the other hand was vastly larger, and was very principled and disciplined and erected on territory chosen to make a political statement - the heart of Wall Street. Then there was the Oakland protest which turned violent during the protest where the soldier was shot. Oakland has a long history of police/protest violence going back decades and it doesn't take much to set Oakland protests off.
Whatever the case my impression was that these people, especially at Zuccotti, were not protesting against capitalism and certainly not protesting against America (there were patriotic posters and US flags everywhere at Zuccotti). What they were protesting was corruption and the structures that encourage corruption benefitting the super-rich at the expense of hard working middle class Americans.
The day the World Trade Center was destroyed was not the first time it had been attacked, a lot of people forget that. I remember the first time it was attacked a decade earlier I thought it was pretty silly that the assailants thought they could bring down those buildings with a truck bomb in the basement parking lot. Clearly we would have been well advised to see that first attack as a canary in a coal mine, something that needed to be attended to before it metastasized and grew worse. In my opinion, the politicians and their allies on cable-tv and talk-radio who denigrate the Occupy protesters railing against corporate corruption, political corruption, and the rapidly growing gap between the rich and middle class would be well advised to start taking these protests seriously. The Tea Party protests and Occupy protests actually share a surprising number of complaints against the system that saddled our generation with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
I have pictures.

"'Who Controls the Past Controls the Future': The Virginia History Textbook Controversy" - Adam Wesley Dean, pp. 318–355
During the civil rights movement, the history of slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction became bitterly contested. Segregationists used the Lost Cause version of these events to generate opposition to integration. Civil rights activists responded with their own histories documenting slavery's evils, placing race at the center of the Civil War, and relabeling Reconstruction's failure as a tragedy instead of a triumph. In 1948, the Virginia General Assembly, controlled by the Democratic Party, created a textbook commission to impose their own version of history in Virginia public schools. The assembly mandated that all fourth-, seventh-, and eleventh-grade students—both black and white—learn the state's history from books created by the commission. As Washington Post columnist Benjamin Muse recognized, public perception of slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction influenced Virginia's "gravest problem from Appomattox down to today—the race problem."
The government-mandated textbooks presented slaves as generally happy and the Civil War as resulting from unwarranted federal interference in state affairs. This article examines how and why these textbooks entered Virginia public schools. It connects the history presented in the books to contemporary battles over integration from President Harry Truman's 1948 order desegregating the army to massive resistance. The article also explores opposition to the books, emphasizing the role of African American teachers, national outrage, and the election of Republican governor Linwood Holton in removing the books from public school curriculum by the 1970s.

Quint finally pushed the execs at ESPN too far. His St. Patrick's Day ensemble that made Craig Sager look like an assembly-line worker was just too much.
He's been let go as ESPN's top lacrosse analyst. Any and all resumes should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com — pronto.
But the folks at ESPNU do want your insight into how best to broadcast lacrosse on TV. Hopefully you've noticed, because the U has been putting good lacrosse games on air this year like Bob Carpenter switches hats — 47 in total. If I had more time (and an assistant) I'd look up how many were on TV just five years ago. It would be a startlingly low number, I promise you that.
Most notably, ESPN has put two games on the main networks this year, including Saturday's Virginia@Maryland game on ESPN2 at noon. The first game, Virginia@Princeton in March, was kind of a last-second move. Saturday's game on the Deuce was on the schedule from the beginning of the season, and the network has higher expectations.
This is a HUGE deal for the game. I cannot stress this enough. Lacrosse fans have been clamoring for more games on TV, so putting two regular-season games on the big networks (so everyone can see them) could not be bigger for lacrosse. Everyone better step up and watch, and call their local cable operators to get ESPNU picked up in more places.
But in addition to watching, and telling your friends to watch and getting in a fight at the bar because you'd rather watch two Top 5 lacrosse teams go at it Saturday afternoon than ANOTHER men's hoops game, you can also help the cause by replying to this post with some comments on ESPN's coverage. Camera angles, analysis, commentary, Quint's ties — everything's fair game.
ESPN has provided an amazing service to lacrosse; so let's make sure everyone responds in kind this Saturday. Should be a great game.

Pineapple | |
Gender | Male |
Played by | Zack Scott |
Death | Sliced violently by Knife; later was eaten by Halloweenie as the torso of Frankenfruit. Revived,again, but was killed again by Tanks |
First Appearance | Pain-apple |
Pineapple is a character who appeared in Pain-apple, Frankenfruit as part of Frankenfruit, in Knife's Theme Song in Theme Song Attack!, and in a flashback in It Takes Two to Mango.
Contents |
Orange kept annoying him by making rhymes about his hair and calling him an apple, until Pineapple gets fed up and insults Orange (by calling him "baldy"). He then refuses to talk to Orange because he calls him "Apple" a lot of times until his "hair" gets cut and flies onto Orange's head, and gets sliced very violently. At the end, he becomes three pineapple rings, and then blames Orange for what he has done to him.He reappears in Frankenfruit as the torso, but without his trademark hair due to Orange having it, and he did not survive the Halloweenie attack.
Pineapple is played by Zack Scott.
- "Hey, hey! Watch the hair, bud! It took me months to get it to look like this!"
- "Oh hey, i'm a pineapple!"
- "Well, I'm not. I'm a pineapple!"
- "No, that's not how it works."
- "You know what also rhymes with hair? Nair, and it looks like you're very familiar with it, baldy!"
- "I am not! I'm a pineapple! I not even related! I don't grow on trees, I don't-"
- "(groans) God, you are so irritating!"
- "I am not...talking to you."
- "I told you already, these are not knives."
- "This is my hair."
- "I spiked it up to look cool, and it's something that you can't do because you aren't- (screams)"
- "Someone help me...".
- "Orange, you, are sick."
- Pineapple's portrayer, Zack Scott, also portrayed Wassabi. However, Pineapple's eyes are different from Wassabi's.
- Pineapple is the first character to be sliced by Knife in a violent matter by making effect of his juice.
- Pineapple reappeared in It Takes Two to Mango, in a flashback showing him (and other fruits such as Cucumber) being knifed violently.
- He is the first pineapple in the series.
