text: I hope no one is put off from watching this classic by Touchy's bizarre review--although I don't know how many people will be able to keep reading past the absurd claim that Mitchum couldn't project world-weary cynicism. Not only is Mitchum's cynicism nonpareil, but Greer puts on a femme fatale clinic. A noir classic that stands with The Maltese Falcon and Double Indemnity as film that transcends genre.

So this week, if it's even possible, Free Stuff Friday is even BETTER than usual because we have a super duper amazing and fantastic back-to-school guest blog from the always-fab Denise, aka Mom of Bean, the T1D blogger behind My Sweet Bean and Her Pod. Are you following her blog? Because you should be. It's that awesome.
Not a parent of a T1D kid? Denise still has some great tips for managing a child's healthcare at school. Plus, throughout this post, you'll see great product photos (Click the images for more product info!) to help you get your kid(s) ready for school. Not interested in the back-to-school craziness? Don't sweat it. We still have free stuff for you this week. Just scroll down to the contest at the bottom of this post.
Without further ado...here's what Denise has to say about T1Ding it right at school...
If only I had seven dwarfs to help with this process, it would be oh, so much easier to head into the 'back to school' season with a kiddo with Type 1 Diabetes.
Every year the scene is the same: dazed and confused parents wandering up and down the aisles and aisles of notebooks and folders and scissors and glue and crayons and, and, and!
Well, we D'rents get to continue the dazed wandering up and down in other aisles, too. Our kiddos need things like juice boxes and granola bars and peanut butter crackers and alcohol swabs and, and, and!
And of course you have to factor in at least one meeting with teachers and staff before school starts to go over the medical plan and the 504 plan and the 'what to look for highs and lows' plan and, and, and!
It's enough to make you want to crawl under your beach blanket and never come out!
BUT, that's really not an option…as much as I wish it were, and that there was a buff pool boy to bring me yummy drinks with little umbrellas every hour on the hour!
Oh, sorry….back to back to school!
Just as every kiddo is different, every kiddo with Type 1 (or any other medical condition for that matter) is different, plus every school has its own set of rules and regulations. Please know, though, that there are federal laws in place that guarantee the rights of our kiddos and you have every right to make sure those rights are protected. A great place to start, if you aren't aware of those right is the American Diabetes Association website diabetes.org. Having that layer of protection, whether you ever have to use it or not, is important. It's like car insurance…you don't plan to get into an accident, but if you do, at least you are covered!
So once we have all the pencils and notebooks and glue and scissors and, and, and…here's what I make sure goes to school with my Type 1 kiddo:
For each classroom (she happens to have two), I pack a school supply box with two juice boxes, two GoGo Sqeez apple sauces, two granola bars, and two pre-portioned baggies of Goldfish crackers. This way, if Bean is low in class and she's either (a) already used the juice and/or apple sauce that she carries on her at all times or (b) forgotten to pack said juice and/or sauce, she has what she needs without having to go to the nurse's office or front office…which is not really safe if she's low! The granola bars are a great BG boost before recess or PE, to help sustain her through physical activity. They have also come in handy when she's forgotten her lunch! The pre-portioned Goldfish are her 'go to' for before recess if her BG is below a preset number. This, for her, is the perfect amount of carbs to keep her BG holding steady during the 30 minutes of outside activity.
Her name is on the side of the box and it has a special place in each room for easy access and visibility so it can be retrieved by whoever is helping during a low BG.
There is also a baggie, labeled with her name, containing an apple sauce and apple juice box for each specialist room….Art, Music, PE…just in case she needs to treat a low BG there and her supplies that are 'always with her' aren't with her. The front office also has a baggie.
Then, there's the nurse's office. That's where all the medical stuff is stored in a locked cabinet, per our district's policies. This larger container has juice boxes and apple sauces (because you can't really ever have too many of those!) as well as alcohol swabs, extra pods (her insulin pump), extra lancet barrels, extra batteries for her meter/pump controller, extra meter, extra strips, Glucagon, and 'just in case' syringes. She keeps her insulin with her…this takes a district specific release form.
I mentioned that she has juice and apple sauce with her all the time. She also has her medical alert bracelet, meter/pump controller (PDM) and the case it goes in that has her insulin, strips, FastClix lancing device, extra meter, blood ketone meter and strips, and batteries. This little kit is something she brings to and from home daily. She carries this kit, juice, and GoGo Sqeez apple sauce in a mini backpack with her all day. In fact, she feels weird if it's not on her back! This year, since she'll be going to fourth grade, we've 'upgraded' to a pleather purse-style backpack. Gotta be fashionable, ya know!!
Every morning (theoretically), her mini backpack is checked to make sure she has what she needs. I rely on the teachers, nurse, and office staff to let me know when their supplies are running low. I do try to remember to check before Winter Break to make sure the juice boxes and apple sauces haven't expired and trade out granola bars and Goldfish so they aren't nasty. Yeah, I'm nice like that!
It's not a perfect system and there are times that she runs out of things. But, thankfully there are enough supplies here and there throughout the school that she can always treat a low BG within mere moments of testing and/or feeling it.
Yes, it takes a lot to get ready for 'back to school' and with a kiddo with a medical condition there's more added to that process. But, starting off on the right foot, with supplies ready for when they are needed, helps lessen the insanity!
And now... what you've been waiting for... the free stuff! This week, we're giving away a THREE prizes, including a BRAND NEW PRODUCT! Yup!
Alrighty, let's get to the freebies! You can enter today's Free Stuff Friday in any of the following ways. Do what works for you!

What Is It? Jumpstyle
- Words: Brandon Ivers
Dutch gabber's nosebleed drum blur was never supposed to be subtle, but the genre's latest offshoot, jumpstyle, sure makes it seem that way. Taking cues from the cheesiest moments of rave's 15-plus years, jumpstyle mixes Euro-trance's marching melodies with gabber's bouncy kick drums, then adds liberal doses of stolen rave hooks and time-honored dancefloor gimmickry. At best, this ecstatic clobber is a guilty pleasure; at worst, it's a barely updated soundtrack for the rushing pill head.
"Otto Von Schirach played jumpstyle for me, and I thought it was some of the shittiest techno I've ever heard," says Dan Doormouse, owner of Addict Records and self-proclaimed "godfather" of Midwest hardcore. His short version of the sound? "Imagine a million racquet balls bouncing in sync, running through a distortion pedal. Add some cheap electronic claps and snare drums, the worst-possible synth from an '80s song, and a European dude talking about drug use in second-rate English."
Doormouse's reaction is typical of American post-ravers introduced to jumpstyle via YouTube, which boasts a growing collection of Dutch "jumping" videos. Resembling the classic Russian Cossack squat-and-kick dance, jumping's one-legged twist is an integral part of the scene's identity; crews such as Jumpforce are even advertised on party flyers, and many have adopted the "jump is not a crime" mantra to combat jumpstyle bans at dancehalls.
"Some people say the jumpstyle dance moves come from the Melbourne Shuffle, or from France," says DJ Coone (a.k.a. Koen Bauweraerts), one of the scene's leading producers and DJs. "But most people believe the origin lies in Belgium, where the music first caught hold. [With YouTube], people watch each other's moves and try to improve or invent their own, a bit like breakdancing."
Although the music and dancing might seem ridiculous to American eyes, jumpstyle is still a quick-growing European phenomenon. The yearly Reverze party in Antwerp draws in upwards of 18,000 people, with a lineup that represents jumpstyle's biggest acts: Dark-E, DJ Coone, Greg C, and Ruthless, to name a few. Then there's the club night at Complex, just outside Antwerp, which packs in 2,000 people every Saturday night.
"Jumpstyle has become a lifestyle, like hip-hop or techno," says DJ Coone. "For me, it's the best party music around. There's no other style that makes you go so crazy and forget about all your worries."

I think that jumpstyle can be interesting and intense, as long as you ignore the idiots that try to imitate it.

BEWARE: Jumpstyle was created by a capitalist conspiracy of way overpriced name brand sport shoe companies, solely to prove that counterfeit shoes fall apart after a day when treated like this.
However also fake tennis shoes will last way long enough when not tormented by jumpstyle. It also wears down the real ones. Thus do you really want to become puppets of Nike, Adidas and others by participating in this hype?!
Who needs jumpstyle??? Boycott brands - cheap shoes rule!

Fix bad pictures after the shot with this impressive deblurring app
How many times have you rushed to grab a picture of something amazing happening right before your eyes, only to get a result that's too blurry or out of focus to use? Well before you click that delete button in disappointment, you may want to check out this impressive app that takes steps to de-blur your snaps.
SmartDeblur was developed by Vladimir Yuzhikov to fix two tough problems that we all encounter with picture taking, blurring due to poor focusing, and blurring due to camera movement during the exposure. Either one can seemingly ruin a picture, but Yuzhikov says that you shouldn't assume that all is lost.
Yuzhikov saw fixing these problems as a challenge, and has managed to develop some pretty incredible tools to fix them. Check out the gallery to see some before and after shots of SmartDeblur in action. Admittedly, it can't make your crappy blurry shot suddenly look like you had a tripod to hold things, but it can take an unusable image and turn it into something useful.
The math involved in fixing these problems can get pretty deep, but Yuzhikov does his best to explain it in understandable language over on his website.
The whole effect kind of reminds me of that focus later Lytro camera, but with the huge bonus of working on images from any camera.
Best of all, SmartDeblur is available to try as a free download. Well, as long as you're a PC user.

Even though it was probably the hottest day of the year so far, EnCana Oil and Gas Company came to Hearne last Thursday to play some kick ball at the Boys and Girls Club in the Wood Field parking lot. It was the EnCana anti-smoking kick ball game which EnCana won, 12 to 5, but probably because it recruited Boys and Girls Club members to play on its team as well.
Leading the EnCana team were Calvert standouts Xauvier Laury and James Lloyd, Boys and Girls Club members who can kick the ball. Recently, Calvert club members have also joined the Boys and Girls Club traveling basketball team and played in the local Mark Flowers league, honing their skills for the 2013-2014 school season and making a successful traveling team
Despite the heat, both teams played vigorously and showed the value of lungs without tar build-up.

In a special called meeting on Monday afternoon, Robertson County Commissioners reviewed the drought index and decided the county could make it another week without a ban on outside burning or on fireworks. "Enjoy the 4th but use caution " was Judge Jan Roe's conclusion to the burn ban question. The county's drought index is only five points away from the burn ban threshold—a drought index of 575. Right down, the County stands at 570, putting it near but not quite at the drought level that would necessitate a ban on outside burning,
At an earlier meeting, the Commissioners voted to reserve the right to ban the use of certain types of fireworks but decided on Monday that it would go with its previously established threshold and not ban outside fires or fireworks at this time.
Ten kids from Hearne left for Camp Hoblitzelle owned by the Salvation Army on Monday, June 24.
The Salvation Army agents for Robertson County are Donald & Bobbie Threadgill. Mr. Roy Johnson & Mr. Bennie Carroll from the Boys & Girls Club rode along as chaperones on the bus provided by the Boys and Girls Club.
Hundreds of boys and girls, ages 7 to 16 come to Camp Hoblitzelle each summer, most in one-week increments, to play together, learn from each other, and grow in their relationships with Christ and others. Campers live in cabins with kids in their same school grade and participate in a broad range of camp activities, from athletics to arts and everything in between.
Camp Hoblitzelle seeks to nurture physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually under the guidance and direction of college-age counselors who have been selected on the basis of their ability to lead, love, guide, and care for campers.
Howdy folks! It's once again time for the New Baden Jamboree. As you all know it is the oldest on going Jamborees in Texas since 1954, always on the first Saturday of each month. This Saturday, July 6th, is going to be another great New Baden Jamboree Show.
The first group to play is Franklin's own Charles Ellison who has been performing at New Baden since the beginning. Charles has a smooth voice and a good variety of old and modern country music. Back in the early days Charles has played with several famous entertainers around Texas and a lot of dances throughout his music career.
The second group to perform is a very special Gospel band "Joyful Noise". Rene' and Judy Estrada has some of the most beautiful gospel music around. They also do a very good job of honoring the various armed forces with their music. Every year on the 4th of July they do a special tribute with their music to our veterans of the armed services.
Marnie was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome when she was 2.5 years old. It was first thought to be Autism. Upon further testing and observation, it was decided she had Retts. As parents, we were devastated. All of the hopes and dreams we had for our precious little girl were gone. She would not lead a "normal" life.

Counterspell Idea
I don't think counterspell should be a spell at all. It should just be a type of action that any spellcaster can take. For example:
Counterspell: As a reaction, you can attempt to counterspell a spell being cast by a creature within 50 feet of you. You engage in a contest with the caster, opposing your magic ability check against the caster's. If you win, the spell has no effect. If you beat the caster's check result by 10 or more, you can reflect the spell back upon him, as if you had cast the spell and the original caster was the primary target. On your next turn, you cannot take an action.
To take this action, you must expend a prepared spell or unused spell slot of equal or higher level of the spell being countered or an equal number of Willpower points (you know how powerful the spell is once you choose to take this action). If you are a warlock, you can expend an unused favor instead, but only if your warlock level is at least twice the level of the spell being countered. If you don't have a powerful enough spell or enough Willpower points, you can't attempt to counter the spell, but you don't lose your next action.

Considering all the stories about hotboxing private planes and rejecting very reasonable plea deals for his DUI arrest, it's easy to forget that Justin Bieber is primarily famous for creating music. His extra-curricular activities have eclipsed his work as of late, though he's making attempts to shift the focus back on the tunes.
Thus, the arrival of "Broken," Bieber's first post-arrest song and a seemingly direct response to his latest tabloid turmoil. Over the weekend, Bieber's DJ Tay James dropped a mixtape called We Know The DJ Radio 4, which contains "Broken" and features a guest rap by Blake Kelly. On the track, Bieber repeatedly announces "I cannot be broken," and opens the track with the line "I guess they want a reaction/ I ain't gonna give it to 'em." (Don't work too hard trying to resolve the logic of that line—just go with it.)
Listen to "Broken" below. READ FULL STORY

Breast-feeding is a natural and convenient way to feed your newborn baby, but it may not be an option for all women. If you decide not to breast-feed, there are several things that you can do to be more comfortable.
During pregnancy, a woman's body produces many hormones to help prepare to deliver a baby. A hormone called prolactin helps the breasts to produce milk.
Within several days after your baby is born, your breasts will stop producing milk. However, you may have other symptoms, such as:
Here are some suggestions that may help relieve your discomfort while your breasts stop making milk:
Some women find that nonprescription pain medicine gives relief from the discomfort. It is a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider about the use of any medicine to be sure that the medicine is OK for you to use.
Some breast-feeding experts recommend using cool cabbage leaves to treat painful breast engorgement. Many women who have tried cabbage leaves claim the treatment brings relief from discomfort and improves milk flow. Whether improvement results from the cool wraps or from a specific property in cabbage is not known. Here is how you can use cabbage leaves for engorgement:
In the past, certain medicines were used to stop milk production. "Dry-up" medicines are no longer given to women who choose to not to breast-feed.

'Going to be a nasty day'
Record shattering cold predicted as weather gets worse
If meteorologists were right, residents should be waking up today to the warmest temperatures of the weekend. Early birds might enjoy temperatures in the teens.
As the day moves from pre-dawn into mid-morning, temperatures should drop to the single digits in most inland areas and hang there throughout the day, with portions of Litchfield County reaching zero or below, according to meteorologist John J. Bagioni, owner Fax-Alert Weather Service. Winds gusting to 20 or 35 miles per hour and dry snow blowing around should make the air feel around minus-10 to minus-20 degrees, he said.

A1c. HDL. LDL. Fasting blood glucose levels. Postprandial blood glucose levels. Grams of carbohydrate. Insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios. Correction factors.
Ever feel like you're drowning in numbers? Diabetes care is chock full of numerical data, all designed (presumably) to help a person manage his blood glucose levels, prevent complications, and live life to the fullest. But judging by the problems diabetes still causes, perhaps there needs to be a better way.
And perhaps there is one: continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which lets people know their blood glucose level practically all of the time, not just when they take a fingerstick reading. The trouble is, CGM systems produce even more numbers, charts, and graphs that can seem like an endless ocean of data unless you know what to do with all that information. And that's a shame, because even with their shortcomings, CGM systems can be an extremely valuable resource for guiding daily decision making. They can generate information that, if you know how to use it, will allow you to fine-tune your (or your child's) diabetes management program and stay out of harm's way.
CGM basics
There are now three CGM systems available that provide real-time blood glucose estimations and warning systems to guard against highs and lows. The two that have been around the longest are the DexCom Seven and the Medtronic Guardian REAL-Time System (which can be used alone or as an integrated part of the MiniMed Paradigm 522 or 722 insulin pump). A third system, the FreeStyle Navigator, from Abbott Diabetes Care, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in March of 2008. Only the Medtronic Guardian System has received FDA approval for use by children, but any system can be used by a child if prescribed by a physician.
All three systems use a thin metallic sensor inserted just below the skin to detect glucose in the fluid between the cells (called the interstitial fluid) in the fatty tissue just under the skin. Spring-loaded insertion devices make sensor insertion quick and relatively painless, and the sensors do not tend to cause skin irritation the way pump infusion sets can.
The information from the sensor is transmitted by radio signal to a receiver/monitor, which displays an estimate of the current glucose concentration. While the transmitter and receiver/monitor are "durable," meaning they should last a long time, the life expectancy for the glucose sensors ranges from 3 days to about 14 days.
The DexCom and Medtronic receiver/monitors provide an updated glucose reading every five minutes and can be set to sound an alarm if the glucose level goes above or below a target range set by the user. The Guardian system can also warn the user of glucose levels that are nearing the upper or lower end of the target range. To get the most accurate results, both systems require the user to take fingerstick blood glucose readings at least twice a day and enter those readings into the system. Both systems are generally accurate to within 15% to 20% of fingerstick readings. Both provide line graphs showing glucose trends over the past several hours, and both have compatible software that permits detailed analysis of glucose trends over longer time intervals. (For a fuller look at CGM basics, see the article "Continuous Glucose Monitoring" online or in the March/April 2007 issue of Diabetes Self-Management.)
Immediate numbers
Go back to the paragraph above. See that "15% to 20%" figure? That means the data generated by CGM are usually only a rough estimate — too rough, in fact, to use for making most insulin-dosing decisions. That's not to say that CGM users never use their data to determine insulin doses, but you need a sound knowledge of the nuances of the system before doing so.

UTMB Fall 2013 - page 13
hello! I searched the site and seen no one made a topic about the people trying to enter in Fall 2013 so here is it :up: I am applying to UTMB for Fall 2013. I've written my personal statement and filled in the application. Now... Read More
- 0Jan 21, '13 by tbsakaHello!!! I have been reading this forum for the past 5 weeks and decided to join. I have completed all of the détails for my application. I am waiting, just like all of you, for my little green circle to turn into a big green check mark. I will be attending the the informational session February 9th. I was wondering if anyone else will be attending? Good luck to everyone else that is applying.
- 0Jan 22, '13 by jshanice11so guys i have a dilemma. i made a 70% composite score and my gpa is 3.6....i really want to retake my TEAS but im not sure if i will have a ride and I dont want to bother anyone and my money is really tight right now. do you guys think i should keep what i got or take another shot at it and try to find a ride that wont make me late?
- 0Jan 23, '13 by tbsakaJshanice11Do what your heart tells you to do. Previewing past forums has caused me to believe that your GPA along with your teas score is competitive. I think you are fine. I personally took the test over because I felt that although my first score was above the minimum accepted score for the school, it wasn't competitive. My first score was a 63 (without studying). I hope this helps.
- 0Jan 23, '13 by HemcdougallI also think your score along with your GPA makes you competitive. I would apply with what you have, if you have a strong personal statement that will make you stand out as well too! I wouldn't stress too much if you can't retake it. Good luck. . Btw my teas was only a 74 with a GPA of 3.0 over all and only 2.75 in the sciences. :/
- 0Jan 23, '13 by jshanice11i was thinking it was kind of competitive but its just i know i can do much better its just going to be hard getting a ride since ill have to go to galveston. do you guys know if they accept ppl on a first come first serve basis?
- 0Jan 24, '13 by tbsakaJshanice 11It would be awesome if they selected individuals on a first come first basis, but unfortunately they wait until after the deadline to begin selecting the most qualified applicants out of the people that applied for that semester. This means that we probably won't begin hearing anything from them until maybe the beginning of March. I hope that it may be a little sooner.

Nations Freeze Libyan Assets as Government Violence Against Protesters Continues
Many nations including the European Union, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States are freezing the assets of the Libyan government in an effort to stop the government's violent responses to protests by the Libyan people. Switzerland froze Libya's assets but Libya has withdrawn $5 billion from Switzerland over the past two years. Reuters has reported that the UK has seized about 2 million pounds of assets. The U.S. has frozen $30 billion in Libyan assets as of February 28. On Thursday March 3, the Winnipeg Free Press reported that Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister announced Freezing Assets of Corrupt Regimes Act which will permit the government to "quickly freeze and seize assets of despots and members of corrupt regimes upon official request." More nations are likely to follow suit as the violence continues.

Miller Receives Chile's Top Civilian Award for His Work on Human Rights and Democracy
WASHINGTON, DC – The government of Chile, one of South America's oldest democracies that suffered through a nearly 30-year-long brutal military dictatorship, presented its highest civilian award for a non-Chilean this week to Congressman George Miller (D-CA) for his work in Congress to promote human rights and democracy in Chile.
Miller received the award (see photo), the Order of Bernardo O'Higgins, along with Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), with whom Miller is traveling to meet with Chile's president, foreign minister, and other leaders. Past recipients of this award include the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and Saul Landau, an award-winning filmmaker, author, journalist, and close, long-time friend of Miller's, who died last year at his home in Alameda.
In March 1976, less than three years after Chile's democratically elected president was assassinated in a military coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet with assistance from the Nixon Administration, Miller, Harkin, and a third colleague, former Congressman Toby Moffett (D-CT), traveled to Chile to investigate claims of human rights abuses carried out by Pinochet's Junta.
Upon returning from their trip, Miller's first as a member of Congress after taking office in January 1975, Harkin, Miller and Moffett led legislative efforts to stop U.S. aid to Pinochet's military regime and pressed for the extradition of Junta members who were found responsible for the September 1976 assassination in Washington, D.C. of a Chilean national and his American colleague who were working against the Pinochet regime. Miller and Harkin continued to work together on human rights issues involving Chile and other countries throughout their 40-year long careers in Congress. Both lawmakers have announced that they will be retiring at the end of this year.
Miller issued the following comment upon receiving the award:
"Thank you to the government of Chile, to President Bachelet and to Foreign Minister Munoz. I am deeply honored to receive this award - the Order Bernardo O'Higgins, Chile's most prestigious civilian award to a non-Chilean.
"What a special honor to share this important day with Senator Tom Harkin and other long-time friends, like Joe Elderige -- allies in the fight for justice and democracy in South America. We are both in great company with past recipients like Senator Edward Kennedy and my close friend and wonderful mentor Saul Landau.
"It was Saul who schooled both Tom and me on human rights abuses perpetrated on innocent civilians. And I accept this award in Saul's memory. He urged us to travel to Chile in our first term in Congress, and as Tom has shared, in those days we weren't quite sure what we were getting into. Instead of Grimaldi, where Tom made his critical discovery, I went to Valparaiso to meet with workers and union leaders. I remember being followed the entire time.
"When we returned to the Congress, we went to work, we spoke of what we saw to anyone who would listen. Our trip in 1976 was about trying to change the understanding of what was happening in Chile. It was a transformational experience for me to see a country being robbed of its democracy. And it led me to focus on human and labor rights during my time in Congress.
"Today, things are much different. Chile is a vibrant democracy with a strong economy leading the region into the 21st century. It is possible because of the many courageous Chileans, here and abroad, who refused to give up and accept the unacceptable. Theirs is a remarkable story, and especially inspiring for those of us who believe in the power of democratic institutions.
"Thank you so much for bestowing on me this high honor. I'm humbled and grateful to receive it. My work in the U.S. Congress may be coming to an end, but my friendship with Chile and its people -- and all that your great country stands for -- will continue."

Which show are you looking forward to the most? I can't wait for The Goldbergs (I know, I know — I'm like a broken record, lol) and Castle. And Bones. Oh heck, all of the usuals, lol!
The new one I'm looking forward to is Enlisted. I LOVE Geoff Stults (sad that his spin-off of Bones was cancelled, as well as the death of Michael Clarke Duncan) and Chris Lowell (who I think has a striking resemblance to Zac Efron).
And of course Psych season 8 - WOO HOO! Oh and yeah, Melissa & Joey! I love that they are finally going to date. :)

Topic Outline
Toxic megacolon is a potentially lethal complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or infectious colitis that is characterized by total or segmental nonobstructive colonic dilatation plus systemic toxicity [1-3]. Colonic dilatation is also observed in patients with congenital megacolon (Hirschsprung's disease), idiopathic or acquired megacolon occurring with chronic constipation of any etiology, and intestinal pseudoobstruction, a manifestation of diffuse gastrointestinal dysmotility of various causes. However, the lack of systemic toxicity distinguishes these presentations from true toxic megacolon. (See "Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie's syndrome)".)
The precise incidence of toxic megacolon is unknown. The incidence in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease was approximately 1 to 5 percent two decades ago [4], but has gradually decreased because of earlier recognition and intensive management of severe colitis. Clinically symptomatic Clostridium difficile infection occurs in approximately 1 percent of all hospitalized patients; a few of these may develop severe colitis with toxic megacolon [5-7]. (See "Clostridium difficile in adults: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis".)
Although most commonly recognized as a complication of IBD, toxic megacolon may also occur with infectious colitides of diverse etiology, ischemic colitis, volvulus, diverticulitis, and obstructive colon cancer (table 1).
A number of pathogenic mechanisms probably contribute to the development of toxic megacolon in patients with IBD [1]. One possible mechanism is that mucosal inflammation leads sequentially to the release of inflammatory mediators and bacterial products, increased inducible nitric oxide synthase, generation of excessive nitric oxide, and colonic dilatation.

Help! I lost my 3DS pin#! Somebody please tell me how I can still register my 3DS without the pin. Thanks!
Your 3DS pin number can be found on the back of your 3DS or on the bottom of the box it came in.
You can still register the serial number to get the 90 day warranty extension. If you want the coins, however, you will need that PIN#. If you really lost it, maybe Nintendo can help you out. You can call them at 1-800-255-3700.
I know this is an old issue, but I had the same problem but it was for a game.
Nintendo just had me mail in the UPC code on the box and they added my coins manually. Did you get your problem solved yet?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are many factors to consider when determining the size of the marquee required for your event. Some factors that need to be considered include:
- Available space to fit the marquee
- The type of event, e.g. wedding, birthday party, corporate event etc.
- The number of expected guests
- Whether the guests be seated at tables
- If so, what style of tables you prefer (Refer to the sketches under 'Tables' for estimated space requirements) - Don't forget that a formal head table will take up more space than your guest tables
- Whether you require a stage, dance floor, buffet tables or other furniture in the marquee
Our helpful sales consultants will suggest the appropriate size based on your personal needs.Do you charge a bond? No, however credit card details must be provided when hiring equipment. No extra costs will be be charged to your credit card unless the equipment is lost or damaged and in those cases we always consult with you before taking any action. If damages occur then the costs to repair or replace will be charged as per our standard terms & conditions of hire (available on our website). Can I pick the equipment up myself? Of course. Depending on the size of your order and your capacity to transport it, pickups can be made from any of our branches at Peakhurst, Matraville or Kirrawee. How much does it cost to deliver? The delivery cost depends on a number of things including the location (we can deliver locally at a better rate than farther afield ), access to the site and timing. We normally deliver Monday to Friday so for example we can deliver cheaper on a Wednesday afternoon than at 5am on a Sunday. How do I know if my site is suitable for installing a marquee? Most surfaces are suitable for installing a marquee. Usually we use of pegs driven into grass surfaces or natural ground, but on surfaces where marquees cannot be pegged into the ground (such as on paving, concrete or ashphalt) steel or concrete weights can be used. There is a small additional charge to place and remove these heavy weights. Can I extend the hire period? Yes. If you require the goods for a week or more you will be charged with an additional fee quoted by our sales consultants. How long is the hire period? The hire period is usually 2-3 days, for which we have one charge as shown in our price list. When can we expect delivery and pickup of our hired goods? Most people hire equipment for weekend events, so we usually deliver Thursday/Friday and pickup Monday/Tuesday. This will vary depending on your needs, the size of your order, our work schedule and the most effecient run we can devise based on other bookings. We do try to work with your availability and ask for your patience as we juggle the many jobs we have on our delivery sheet. Mid-week jobs are usually the delivered day before and picked up the day after your event, but there are exceptions and it often depends on your requirements. We are happy to discuss your needs when you call our sales consultants.

Women's Water Polo Trips To Long Beach State, UC Irvine
Pacific 2012 Statistics l Pacific 2012 Media Guide
Pacific On Facebook l Pacific On Twitter
The Pacific women's water polo team continues Big West play this weekend with a pair of road matches, at No. 6 UC Irvine Saturday, April 4, and at Long Beach State Sunday, April 5. Both matches are set to get underway at noon.
Pacific (9-13, 0-1 Big West) has found itself on the wrong end of seven games that were decided by no more than two goals this season, including its last four outings. The Tigers dropped their lone contest last weekend to then-No. 11 UC Davis, 8-7, as the Aggies notched the game-winning goal with just eight seconds left on the clock. Pacific led 6-4 early in the fourth quarter and would tie the game at 7-7 before UCD's late strike.
"We showed a lot of improvement in that match compared to our match against them two weekends ago," head coach Megan Thomson said. "I thought we did a very good defensively, especially on 5-on-6 situations."
Senior Kim Kay had arguably her best outing of the season, leading all scorers with four goals while recording four steals and one field block on defense. Freshman Taylor Adair added two goals.
Long Beach State (10-13, 0-2 BWC) finds itself in last place in the league standings after one weekend of play. The 49ers lost a pair of road contests to last weekend, including a sudden-victory match at UC Santa Barbara that required nine periods to decide a victor. LBSU is led by Melissa Matheson's 35 goals while goalkeeper Kelly Ringel has blocked 211 shots in the cage.
The 49ers have dominated the all-time series and own a 19-3 series record against Pacific. The Tigers have begun to reverse the trend, winning the last two matches, including a 6-5 win at Long Beach State during the 2010 season.
UC Irvine (19-5, 2-0 BWC) is at the top of the conference standings as the only team with two wins after the first weekend of action. The Anteaters posted road wins over then-No. 17 Cal State Northridge and then-No. 15 UC Santa Barbara. Reigning Big West Player of the Year Jessy Cardey paces UCI with 54 goals while also leading the squad in assists with 26. Jillian Yocum has started 13 of the team's 24 matches in the cage, recording 124 blocks while giving up 79 goals.
Pacific has faced UC Irvine 22 times and trails the all-time series 5-17. The Anteaters have won the last sixteen contests and have not lost to the Tigers since the 2002 season.

CALIFORNIA, December 1, 2013 — The recent spate of "knockout attacks" is a cruel reminder of how brazen and cruel some youth have become. These violent acts are not only gutless; they reflect values more akin to the animal kingdom than for someone created in the image of God.
And what's the media's first response to this supposed game? They're labeled as hate crimes, as if that means they're more reprehensible than other acts of violence. But calling it a hate crime doesn't equate to more justice in society; it only results in more severe, selective punishment.
SEE RELATED: Persecution against Christians increases in many parts of the world
Obviously, knockout attacks are more newsworthy if there's a pattern of victims involved. But the most dominant racial or ethnic presence in a community will naturally be the most common target of crimes. And will the inevitable copy-cat assaults against random victims be prosecuted as hate crimes, or merely as less important criminal acts?
Make no mistake, the targeting of Jews, women, children, white males, homosexuals or any chance bystander for violence is repulsive no matter what the motive. In fact, from a justice standpoint, when someone attacks an innocent person it makes no difference if the victim is loathed by the criminal or the attack is to impress buddies or win a bet; for the victim, the result's the same.
Unprovoked harm towards others is hatred of God's righteous standard (Matthew 22:39) and the conscience designed into us all (Romans 2:14-15). It shows disdain for the dignity that decent people are taught to show each other because of the intrinsic worth God has given to life (Genesis 1:27). This type of hatred has been around since the fall of man (Genesis 3; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23) and is one reason why God instituted government: to punish evil in a just manner (Romans 13:1-5; 1 Peter 2:13-14).
But unfortunately, hate crime laws aren't designed to be just.
SEE RELATED: Americans performing Hajj attacked in Saudi Arabia
Let's be realistic, artificially defining different classes of victims based on what's in the mind or heart of the criminal doesn't serve justice. It creates a malleable justice system subject to the political winds of the day instead of treating victims with equality under the law. This equal worth concept is a world-changing principle that's deeply rooted in scripture and beautifully illustrated for Christians in Galatians 3:28.
So, do hate crime laws really create categories of victims who are less important than others?
If a black man murders another black man, why would this ever be thought of as less consequential or egregious than if a white man murders a black man? If a homosexual murders another homosexual, why should the law treat this differently than if a heterosexual murders a homosexual? The result of each murder is the same, whether the degree of hatred harbored by the murderer is casual, impulsive or deeply ingrained.
Not surprisingly, the mentality behind the creation of hate crimes is the same relativistic mentality that severely punishes non-violent protestors of abortion clinics yet sees no problem with a mother destroying the life of her own baby. It's the same mentality that wants to make capital punishment illegal and give more rights to serial murderers, yet is unconcerned with ensuring that justice is accomplished for the victims.
Scripture clearly teaches that justice is to be impartial and proportionate to the crime (Proverbs 17:15; 18:5; 24:23-25; Exodus 21:24-25; Leviticus 24:20-22; Deuteronomy 19:21; Numbers 15:15-16). In fact, this understanding has guided justice throughout most of our nation's history. Unfortunately, political correctness has successfully used hate crimes to increase levels of punishment based on a criminal's biases and beliefs.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see where this slippery slope mindset will lead: the criminalizing of what's thought to contribute to someone's hate filled heart, things like "hate speech."
Given today's moral relativism, violent films, repulsive video games and hate filled music won't be traced to violent crimes. But proclaiming the scriptural truth that only one man and one woman constitute a valid marriage (Genesis 2:24), that the unborn are human beings deserving of protection (Psalm 139:13-16), and that homosexuality is contrary to God's design (Romans 1:18-32) are ripe for labeling as hate speech. These are likely targets for legal suppression.
Only God can accurately judge the heart, and man's heart is capable of all kinds of evil if it's not in submission to the divine authority we're all accountable to (Jeremiah 17:9-10; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). The best we should expect from our system of justice is that it impartially judge criminal actions, not inner thoughts, and provide equal protection to all.
If this is done, justice will be served.
